The Rise Guys After Hours Podcast

You may think you are, but are you sure?

Some things we consider conventional wisdom may be bad advice. Maybe we're misinterpreting some stuff, too.

This episode made possible by Mattman's engineering prowess!

...of living wherever you are, and we get a little sidetracked for 90% of this episode!

It's a bold fashion statement! We discussed in-studio guests and a whole lot of really weird stuff came up along the way.

How are we doing? What are we up to lately? We're glad you asked! 

How many times was the next big thing a monumental flop?

Who would win in a fight? Wait, that isn't right. Which one would you rather run across if you were alone in the woods?

How thick is your skin? Ours was a lot thinner when we were younger. Turns out it can still be a bit thin sometimes.

Mattman had a very interesting question that led to some great conversation before technical difficulties happened.

Mattman is especially uncomfortable with having fans, but why? 

We talked about nu-metal, which is now old. Is anyone even sure what nu-metal is beyond a couple of bands?

A listener wanted to know why so many people who do what we do share this one particular interest!

How much does it really cost to live the American Dream? Turns out it all depends on where you live.

The answer depends on who you ask and how old they are. What do we think? What do you think?

Nine got sick and screwed up our Wrestlemania review, but he did want to acknowledge someone, even ethough Mattman disagreed.

We heard from a man who claims to have total global amnesia. Hear the behind the scenes of Mattman and Nine deciding if they believe it enough to have him on The Rise Guys.

Mattman and Nine go over the matches for night 2 of Wrestlemania. What do you think is going to happen?

Mattman and Nine go over the matches for night 1 of Wrestlemania. What do you think is going to happen?

Mattman and Nine go over the matches for both nights of Wrestlemania. What do you think is going to happen?

How good were they?

We can say it on the podcast!

Continuing a discussion from this morning's TRG Show

The story of two dudes appearing in a movie together 

Mattman has done it. Nine has not. What about you?

We're very different people, but are we morally the same? What do we think is immoral?

Remember your first time? Not sex. Drugs.

What do you hate seeing people post about? Probably just about everything.

We gettin' silly on this episode with one of our favorite impressions and a story about a bad first date

Nine has a medical condition, but he's afraid people will think he's bragging if he talks about it. 

Mattman and Nine were lucky enough to meet one of their heroes, but it was weird because of course it was 

Would you date yourself? How the hell do you answer that question?

We were shocked by how many people say their ideal relationship isn't monogamous .

Tom gave us what we wanted, so why did we let it get taken away?

We jump back in on our 20th season, but does anyone actually care besides us? 

How many of his personalities did we have the pleasure of interviewing? You'll find out if you can keep count.

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!
