Listen Now

Oh, there is a LOT more to talk about in part 2 of our 20 year retrospective! 

We've been at it for a long time. Two decades of us! This is a little walk down memory lane.

A real head-scratching mystery from Mattman's childhood and Nine is a really weird dude. That about sums up this week's After Hours with TRG.

We don't agree on a lot of food stuff, but both of us hate green bean casserole. We talked about all the classic Thanksgiving sides and a bunch of other foods.

Family Thanksgivings can be awkward and embarrassing. Nine started with an embarrassing story, Mattman talked about the family drama, then we took a turn and Nine got emotional about it.

This is a story Matt thought may be too personal for Nine, but Nine seemed to have a pretty good time telling a story of personal tragedy.    

Nine got a delivery that would embarrass a lot of people, but not him. What was it? How did it lead to 30 minutes of conversation?

What is pride? What is ego? When are they real and when are they fake?

Mattman had a very simple question for Nine that wound up going so much deeper than you'd expect. We talked hobbies, pride, loneliness, unintentional self-harm, living, and learning. We're pretty proud of this episode!

Just like the title says, our bad experiences with substances. Take this as a warning and a cautionary tale. 

This episode almost didn't get posted, but here it is! 

Back in the olden days, we could get away with a lot of stuff on The Rise Guys. Back before anybody cared about legal repercussions and before anyone got woke. These are some of the most memorable ones.

Nine has a habit of almost drowning about once a year. Do you have any idea how much an in-ground pool costs in 2022?! Mattman was SHOCKED. Who doesn't love donkey butts and them big ol legs? We ain't too proud to beg. 

Maybe you've heard about the Vince McMahon scandal, but do you remember when the stuff he did was expected and maybe even encouraged & celebrated? Then Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin opened our eyes!  

Our parents tell us stories about what happened during the first 2-3 years of our lives, but what if they're all made up?

Do you have a favorite movie? Mattman does! Nine says it's impossible to have just one favorite movie. Can you have a favorite food? Can you have a favorite anything? We tried to figure out which one of us is weird, but we know it's probably both of us.

Continuing last week's conversation, we talked about hollow Earth, inner Earth, Middle Earth, and wherever Godzilla lives in the new movies.Special guest appearances by Admiral Byrd, the Bermuda Triangle, and inter-dimensional aliens!   

Nine has a story about his family and those are always weird fun! This one features a great grandpa and a great-great uncle going to a tent revival and experiencing something that left them scared for the rest of their lives.  

Mattman owned a company that sold sex toys at one point and we're talking all about it on this week's episode!

Just a casual re-telling of a story about a time we almost died and someone almost got stabbed.
