After SchoolEd

Last '24 Episode!!! We survived.

1:32 ScratchEd In an AfterschoolEd first, Chef flies solo for a (mercifully) brief segment: a cancer and scheduling update. Don't worry, it's not bad, and it's over quick. He's. . . he's not a good solo voice. He needs help. Lots of help.

4:16 ReviewED Been a lot of family couch time between cancer and vacay, so we've been binging, and we're testing out AfterschoolEd's new rating system with a rapidfire ReviewEd session: from the X Triology to Starsky & Hutch, from Person of Interest to Smile 2, we saw a lot recently and we have notes.

17:55 TinklEd In a mini Oui Oui we talk about the fallout from Barry's breakup with Sabrina. Chef knows more than you'd have thought. The internet also still needs to chill.

31:17 Oui Oui In the main Oui Oui, Chef learns why Gen Alpha is looking forward to knee surgery.

40:53 Koan Koan We dive right into what is very much not surprisingly one of Chef's favority Koans. It involves very sharp knives, sudden and unwarranted violence, and outright misanthropy. Of course he loves it.

44:55 BackGroundEd Christmas is maybe the #1 time of the year for background shows and movies to stream while your insane Uncle raves about 5G causing frogs to be gay. In honor of Huannakah, we each name our Eight Flicks of the Season: the best content for holiday streaming with the friends and fam.

1:01.28 Oui Oui Chef takes over the Oui Oui stream, and we get soaked in Proud Boy cereal milk.

1:12.52 SOS We dip our toe back into Who Cooked the Last Supper with a quick history lesson of a Queen who's been whitewashed and genderwashed from history. A true Queen. A Leader on par with Alexander and a Queen who quite literally bested Cyrus: Thosyris.

1:21.30 Tip Out Chef gets spooky with a crazy wild Tip Out, and Rose goes traditional with a Johnson family tradition that should be way way more widespread in the States.

Thanks for all the listens. 14 countries have tuned in. A few new reviews. Lots of good feedback. Thanks for joining us for the ride. Happy New Year!

On the first day of Christmas AfterschoolEd gave to me: A banger episode to enjoy! Our first Christmas episode.

2:00 SchedulEd

We start super helpful this ep: homeschool tips and shoutouts right away. In the Senior year, make sure y'all are doing senior pics, announcements, etc.

15:50 Eff Marry Kill

We had a lot of fun doing this segue recently, so we're bringing it back. The three Chris's (Pine, Hemworth, Pratt) pretty much wreck Chef.

25:27 ReviewEd

Since it has become one of our most popular segments, we take the time to establish a formal list of criteria. We test out our newfound scale on a couple recent watches: Extraction II and A Quiet Place II.

31:52 YellowstonEd

Another update on the Fenn Treasure hunt. Spoiler alert: it begins again!

35:37 ReviewEd: Music of the Year Edition

In the first of the 2024 Year in Review segments, we review a few of the most popular albums of the year.

1.14:50 True or False, Black Friday Edition

Chef struggles to answer pretty basic questions about Black Fridayl. No surprise there.

1.20:20 Mewing and JawMaxxing

So, Chef found about that Mewing is named after someone- the dude who "invented" it, and three days later he stopped laughing and we recorded some of his most recordable thoughts.

1.45:50 Tip Out

Chef has a Christmas movie that you can't say you've lived until you've watched it. Rose counters with a very resonable NYT Games suggestion. Chef's already hooked.

We fell into the dark there like Gandalf and the Balrog after the election. Sorry. Much like Gandalf, we're coming out swinging and better than ever. This is AfterschoolEd's first ever five parter, and the first ep ever with times noted in the description! It may not be Rogan signing with Spotify, but it's at least the second or third most important moment in Podcast History. We're humbled to be a part of it.

Oui Oui 1:16 Nara and Lucky Smith Chef Learns about Nara and Lucky, and, much like ep 1's Skibbity vid- it's a real eye opener for him. They have three children and their names are. . . . . they're not traditional. Chef might have a Lucky crush.

YellowstonEd 14:00 The Fenn Treasure Update Back in the homeschool days of yore, we went deep on looking for the Forrest Fenn Treasure (that chest of treasure hidden by the Santa Fe dude in the Rocky MT West). We had a solid theory about where it was probably located. Our theory involved a few specific locations to the East of YNP in Wyoming. Update? It's been found. Where? Let's just say Chef and Rose might be geniuses.

YellowstonEd 19:47 The 5 Stages of Grief as Two Blue Peeps in a Bright Red Maga County We recorded this episode 13 days after the election. It took a few weeks extra- a brutal few weeks. Both Chef and Rose went dark for a bit there. We're back. What are the 5 Stages of Grief? We talk about our trip through those stages in the past few weeks. And we talk about what went wrong.

TinklEd 33:33 The 4B Movement Chef knew Rose would still be fiesty after the election debrief, so he came in prepped with a history of the 4B movement as a means to resisting Patriarchy Gone Wild. We talk history, deets, spread, pushback, and rebuttal to pushback in a way only Chef could: with a skiing analogy.

86Ed 39:45 Application Tips, Tip Slips, Tip Pools Can modern youth write their names, phone numbers, and email addresses by hand? What should you write on restaurant tip slips? Should you have restaurants split checks, ever? NO. NOTHING. NEVER. We explain.

Eff Marry Kill 53:05 Food Trios We start with Poke, Sushi, and Sashimi, and we decide which one we'd (ahem), which one we'd marry, and which one we'd kill. It's a banger segment, and we'll do it again for sure.

ReviewEd 1:03.00 Rando Cycles Pop culture goes in cycles, like so much of history. We review one of the worst trends that come back every now and then: the Random!!!! sense of humor cycle. Buckle up. Chef has notes.

Koan Koan Git 1:09.35 The Biggest Questions in Life Sometimes in kitchens it's all jokes and nonsense. Slow season though, shit gets real, and the other day we talked about the biggest three questions of modern life. Something to ponder.

ReviewEd 1:20.30 Zero Prep Sequel Check In We used to watch movies on repeat when Rose was a kid. Does she remember? Madagascar 2 and Hangover 2 get check ins.

Tip Out 1:27.35 Get Your Shit Together and Future Earth To get over the election, Chef is banging out some fiery tunes. Rose is looking for good news.

On maybe the spookiest day ever: a cold, gray, harsh, bitter election day, under constant fire of the biting Beartooth Front wind, we hunker down and publish the last of our spookisodes. We had so much fun, we snuck in one more, recorded on Halloween Eve, released on Election Day: the scariest of all episodes.

We start with an SOS where Rose teaches us the origins of Halloween. It's cool. You into mumsing or guising?

Rose takes on a new segue, named Rose Way for now, and dives into hot takes on the halloween costumes of the year.

A GhostEd sement takes a few unexpected turns, becoming one of the craziest trips down memory lane. Chef walks us through his encounters with ghosts (he's way way more into them than you would have thought), right up to his epic battle with the ghost of his father in law. Chef's. . . . well, chef's nuts, frankly.

A WHM Trailer Game inspired Name It has Rose guessing famous halloween movies based on trivia deets. It's a hit, and we'll have to do more.

We maybe stretched to call it a GhostEd, as our second GhostEd segment is really a double header of classic true crime stories. We learn Rose is way, way into true crime. It's a couple crazy stories.

We finish our last Spookisode of '24 with a Halloween ReviewEd. We talk more costumes, we talk candy, and we rank where Halloween falls on our personal holiday lists.

Last Spookisode Tip Out is a classic window into Rose and Chef: shopping and mapping and doing it in style.

Stay safe in the coming days y'all. Fans of the show know we're rooting for a Harris win with the frosting on the cake being a Tester win too. We'll see. Fingers crossed. Much love either way. Feeling terrified but optimistic about the former, and sad and worried about the latter.

Our 13th Episode is also the 3rd Spookisode, and it's downright haunting. Children, the elderly, those prone to fainting, the light hearted, ninnywaggles, and those prone to gasping should probably not attempt to listen.

We ease in, with a Social Studies showing off a homeschool leadership achievement. It's another sneakily helpful homeschool segment.

Then we start to get spooky: a Would You Rather that straight up freaks Chef out.

Now we get downright scary: we try to scare Rose straight with the straight dope on DRUGS. We start with all the legal or readily available ones.

For an SOS segue, we learn why Friday the 13th is a thing in our popular culture. It's a cool story, with a spooky vibe just right for the season.

A micro 86ed has Chef trending and he won't shut up about it. Luckily his jokes are OK.

We finish our harrowing DarED episode with the harder drugs. Chef has an astonishignly frank discussion about mushrooms in particular.

Seasonal tip outs round out a crazy ride. We're. . . . we're the ones who do this and we're still not sure what the hell we're doing. It's fun though.

The Second Ever Spookisode starts with a NYC update. Chef almost had a panic attack in Brooklyn, so that's legit scary.

We finish our GhostEd sandwiches from Spookisode I last week, when Chef intro'd Yuba and Rose intro'd Dyatlov. We flip flop and Chef starts with his theory of Dyatlov. Despite the fact that last week he couldn't even pronounce it and kept shouting something about "the women", his take is surprisingly reasoned and well-informed. It's. . . . . it's almost scary.

Quick segue has Rose largely smashing her way through the 90's, and we have to agree.

Last of the sammies as Rose debuts her research and theories on the Yuba Five. She's got some good points. Chef brought evidence too. No effing around. Johnson & Johnson maybe solve the case. Boom.

In a TinklEd Rose switches gears at the last moment and baits Chef into wildly inappropriate jokes.

In another shocking development, we have another seriously helpful ep here with a great homeschool update. We've been dancing around this for a bit, and we're finally debuting our third and maybe most important homeschool themed segment: SchedulEd. SchedulEd deals with the logistics, the everyday deets that make managing a homeschool from both a teacher and a student perspective so intimidating. We break it down into digestible segments dealing with things like test prep and, of course, scheduling priorities. In our first SchedulEd, we talk about Senior Photos. We also have a pre-event check in for Rose, who is going to a huge dance event as a student and a choreographer.

For a segue, Chef and Chat GPT team up and uncover another Bermuda Triangle style spooky zone. Its sounds deranged. Might actually be onto something, which is also scary.

As a Chef and a foodie, we're stoked fall is here & talking fall foods and trends in ReviewEd.

In a perfect Generational take on entertainment, Chef's tip out is a TV show, and Rose's tip out is a YouTube show.

See you one more time this October for Spookisode III.

Both Rose and Chef love the fall season, also an Absarokee and Fishtail favorite. We dive into the season with the first in a month's worth of spooky themed content- our first ever Spookisode.

We start with a check in with Chef before a trip to NYC to film an episode of international TV. He's . . . . stoked. And weird. Usual Chef.

Then we dive into our GhostEd stories. Rose intros Dyatlov Pass: the basics. We hint at our theories. We'll revisit in a couple of weeks and tell each other our specific theories.

We switch gears with an attempt to answer a few classics for film buffs like Rose and Chef: "Which horror movie is actually, really for reals scary?" "Best horror movies?" "Worst horror movies?" Rose is on fire. Chef can really just hang on and agree. Kid's got taste.

With YellowstonEd we look at a couple possible origin stories for Rose's horror prediliction. What did Chef and Smokey do wrong to create a modern day Wednesday?

In maybe the only really scary story of the day, Social Studies takes us back into public school, this time to a Billings Middle School year of our lord 2024, for a legit scary story about things going on in public schools these days.

A quick Joker segment highlights dumb jokes and how they are legit important, no joke.

Chef rounds out the GhostEd part one stories with the Yuba 5. Between Yuba and Dyatlov we got some perfect Montana ghost story material: mountains and mysteries.

The quickest Tip Out ever rounds out a quick, tight, brisk fall walk of an ep. See you soon for Spookisode 2!

And 5 and 6 and 7 and 8: cue our biggest ep ever, and our most drama filled!

In a 5 themed SOS, Chef dishes on the 5 "Mother" sauces, and the "5" things we can actually taste.

Rose blows all of our minds by A) Taking charge of a Koan Koan Git segment, and B) Absolutely bringing the fire with a really cool modern Koan. A perfect Koan for Rose's first: super modern, something Chef never would have thought of, and a crazy cool different pathway to get to Koan meditation. Well done. Git it?

In the most fundmental, dramatic, intense ReviewEd ever, Chef and Rose both lay out their top 5 movies of all time. Don't @ us; to quote Podcast Legends WHM: "It's okay to like a movie." We're quite sure you won't agree with our pics, especially Chef's.

We go back for more of the Hawk Tuah girl. Try not to make a joke about going in again. Don't worry, it's just an update. Ugh. 2024.

For our main Oui Oui Chef get surprisingly interested and in and passionate aboute Rose's Oui Oui: the Becky Effect and Lesbian Tik Tock Drama. Ugh. Sedona. Rose takes us through the whole DRAMA, and we issue a couple Certified AfterschoolEd Shipments.

A quick Now Geo segment takes us to NYC, where Chef is going this week. YellowstonEd is an update on the black week in Stillwater County. It's been a brutal two years in County 32 here, and this was maybe the brutalist week of 'em all.

Chef's Tip Out: a chess tip. Rose gets us cool again with a song pic.

Tonight's Podcast goes where the MSM won't, and it might shock you!

First, we tackle an age old dad joke: Is Chef Trending? The answer might just surprise you.

Then, results of an internal safety audit at a Montana restaurant that might change everything you know about security, safety, and Jo Jo Siwa. Tune in to find out: Do YOU need to be AFRAID!?

We check in with two local Montanans debating the issues in a political Smash or Pass. It'll have you wondering, who would YOU smash or pass?

Next, as climate change heats up all around us, we follow around one local bar owner as he struggles to keep his bar safe in a changing world. What we uncover about his management, and about the future of your local bar, will stun and bewilder you. You. Must. Tune. In.

We check in on a rural debate, where a Chef seems completely unprepared to deal with some simple questions. It'll have you wondering, who's in charge of YOUR life? Audio at 11.

The heat in the press room is nothing compared to the debate stage as Harris tussled with Trump; we follow two locals as they watch on. You won't believe who they are, and when you hear why they watched the debates, you might literally collapse and die because it's so damn shocking.

ARE YOU EATING HUMAN FLESH!?!?!?!?! You have got to sequester all your freinds, family, acquaintances, youth summer camp counselors who may have vaguely impacted your life and more, for this incredible look at food systems in a refugee camp. Tune it at 11.

Is a Flesh Eating Bacteria Consuming YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR ENTIRE TOWN!?!?! Hell yes it is! How to stop it and survive this certain impending death that you are definitely facing? Tune in at 11, Jack Chick has all the answers to that, plus some great tips for what's promising to be a lovely weekend.

Don't look now- we're stringing together serious and seroiusly helpful episodes, I mean, Chef still goes off the rails several times, but we still actually get around to serious homeschooling again.

It starts with a crazy chain of events: Biden drops out, so Rose tuned in (to the DNC). She rates her top five speeches from this year's Democratic National Convention.

We learn about Captain Gilligan and suuuper low level corporate fraud in an 86ed segue segment about poorly handled packages. You gotta handle those packages carefully. . . That's what she said.

Doubling down on ReviewEd, we dive into our favorite olympics moments. Rose talks about women straight killin' it from Simone to cycling to the boxing ring. Chef talks Paris, Argentina v France, Snark v Seine.

In a Tinkle segue we dive into the disgusting cosplay world of MTG with a Chef-curated slideshow of her lowlights, from cosplay hunting and dangerous firearm handling to fake cooking and terrible kitchens.

And we finish out with a Social Studies segment that is a perfect example of why we need a new homeschool segment, becuase this one's not at all about socialization myths. We're diving back into helpful, pragmatic, concrete advice about senior year homeschool milestones.

And in the end, we both completely forget about the Tip Out. We had ones planned, but we got so excited to be done at a reasonable hour for once that we pat ourselves on the back, drop the mics, and just left. Nobody ever said we weren't forgetful. At least not that we can recall.
