Endurance Training for Motorsports (with John Wessling)
Motocross to those clueless about the sport, might see it as a fairly sedentary group of people, swilling beer, sitting in lawn chairs, eating BBQ, flipping off the camera--not training their asses off. Sure enough, these guys are training their asses off and John Wessling is the man behind their plans. In fact, he's used many of his ski experiences to develop Motocross racers, and his success is apparent. With guest John Wessling Hosted by Chad Salmela Produced by Chris Parr

Brown Town with Adrian Holden
THE GREATEST OF ALL PART TIME, Adrian Holden joins me today. He's a sports talk guy from Houston, does a lot of play by play and really knows his stuff. We dove right into why sports talk radio is so heavily staffed by white dudes, how the Rona is a nightmare for college and high school sports and so much more.

Dry Skin Brush with Tim Young
My neighbors made a new fence because they were tired of seeing my buttcrack and I need AC repair at my house, and then Tim Young joined me from his mountain retreat in Virginia. Tim is the high-functioning leftist Buddhist I always wished I could be. We talk about his construction work on his family property, dating in the woods, comedy's slow return and then finally a detailed instruction on proper sloughing with a dry skin brush.

We complained about people who have our names, whined about the death of comedy, bitched a lot about people's denial of the coronavirus, mourned the loss of our beautiful hair and totally forgot to talk about our friend Vic Henley. Judd did get temporarily positive talking about the job security of the maritime shipping industry, but it went into the toilet when he foretold years of civil unrest to come.

Cruelty, FREE! with Matthew Broussard
Matthew Broussard (@mondaypunday) has enjoyed a fair amount of success in the comedy world since peaking as 2012 Houston's Funniest Person. ;) There was a couple of times when phone calls clipped me out of the conversation, but I left them in to hear what Broussard said when I was gone. I like the illegal wiretap vibe of the recording. Matthew joined me from NYC today and we tried to connect with his Cajun roots, brainstormed some frightening green energy schemes, talked physics and comedy and how writing for roasts makes us mean, then we dig into the cultural appropriation of nerds...

Will is one of the bravest live performers I've seen and its clear that the current world we live in has made him even more fearless. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afterlater/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afterlater/support
