Lou and Spank wrap up Season 2 of the Underground Lounge with a mix of jokes, reflection, and real talk about how far the show has come. They look back on standout moments, from Tony Baker bringing the laughs, to unforgettable sit-downs with athletes, comedians, and entertainers who turned the Lounge into a must-watch. Favorite “F*** It Bucket” questions resurface, along with behind-the-scenes stories about guests, live shows, and even some unexpected gifts that sparked hilarious debates.

The duo also show love to the entire Underground Lounge team, from producers and editors to bartenders and photographers, acknowledging the hard work that makes each episode possible. They keep it transparent about the grind of building a podcast, balancing partnerships, and doing the work without a major network running things behind the scenes.

Looking ahead, Lou and Spank preview what’s next for Season 3, bigger names, more diverse guests, live activations in cities like D.C., Miami, Houston, and Toronto, and interactive elements to get fans more involved. They tease new Patreon content that gives a behind-the-scenes look at Spank’s stand-up life on the road and Lou’s coaching and family life, while also hinting at dream guests they’d love to land, from Michelle Obama to Katt Williams.

The finale leaves fans with gratitude, laughter, and plenty to look forward to. Season 2 may be in the books, but the Underground Lounge is only just getting started.

In this After Hours episode of The Underground Lounge Lou, Spank, and Holly sit with Clayton Thomas for a candid, unfiltered conversation about life, comedy, and entertainment. Clayton opens up about his journey in stand-up, sharing stories from early performances, learning from legends like Tony Rock, and the art of connecting with audiences through crowd work. He highlights how comedy serves as both therapy and storytelling, turning personal experiences and embarrassing moments into relatable humor.

The conversation dives into his views on dating, age differences in relationships, and generational perspectives, mixed with Clayton’s trademark observational humor. He also shares his love for wrestling, reflecting on how wrestlers’ showmanship and personalities influenced his timing, stage presence, and comedic style.

Clayton reminisces about childhood influences from shows like All That and comedians such as Kel Mitchell, Kenan Thompson, Nick Cannon, and Amanda Bynes, showing how early exposure to humor shaped his craft. He talks about traveling, his favorite cities like London, and how experiencing different cultures and foods fuels creativity.

The group also discusses the entertainment industry, including film and TV opportunities, the challenges of auditions, and working alongside big names like Kevin Hart, while giving insight into how comedians navigate competition and growth.

With Spank, Lou, and Holly guiding the conversation, this episode captures the free-flowing, unscripted energy of After Hours, blending laughter, deep insights, and behind-the-scenes stories from comedy, wrestling, and life in the spotlight.

This week on the Underground Lounge, Lou, Spank, and Holly keep it in the family with an episode featuring just the three of them. With no guests in the building, the crew lets loose and covers a little bit of everything, fast food love life analogies, building a brand new league with no rules, and what it means to grind from the ground up in the podcast world.

Holly reflects on her first year with the Lounge, talking about how she’s grown into her role and learned the ins and outs of podcasting while balancing comedy and the business side. Lou and Spank share how much they’ve enjoyed carving out a unique lane in the podcast game, even as athletes, entertainers, and friends reach out to be part of the show. The conversation shifts to dream future guests, from comedians and athletes to current living legends, with some hilarious debates about nicknames and respect attached to real names.

From there, the trio dives into a spirited debate about the lottery, whether those massive jackpots are real, what they’d do if they hit for hundreds of millions, and why winners always seem to disappear. That naturally leads to deeper conversations about money, generosity, and how life changes when you’ve been exposed to a certain lifestyle.

Relationships and dating also take center stage as they swap stories about who pays for dinner, thoughtful gestures that stand out, and the sometimes wild expectations people bring to first dates. Spank even shares a storytime from one of his past dating adventures that had everyone laughing and questioning “standards” in dating today.

The crew doesn’t shy away from heavier discussions either, breaking down the realities of athletes in the media spotlight, how personal life choices can cost careers, and the ongoing tension between chasing opportunity and protecting your reputation. They also touch on the culture in Los Angeles, women dating in entertainment, and what lessons they want their kids to take with them as they grow up.

Packed with humor, honesty, and plenty of back-and-forth, this no-guest episode strips the Lounge down to its essence, just Lou, Spank, and Holly holding it down, mixing sharp insight with comedic storytelling, and keeping listeners locked in from start to finish.

The Underground Lounge crew returns for another After Hours session with Holly, Spank, Lou, and special guest Tacarra Williams. Known for her sharp wit and fearless honesty, Tacarra brings her full personality to the table as the conversation moves from comedy to love, parenting, and everything in between.

From the jump, Tacarra sets the tone by opening up about life as a woman in stand-up. She breaks down how comedy doesn’t necessarily help her dating life the way it does for men, why physical attraction matters, and how insecurities often show up when dating as a successful woman. The crew dives into stories about groupies, intimidation, and the unspoken competitiveness between male and female comedians. Tacarra also gives her take on why some promoters book female comics with ulterior motives and how respect comes instantly when you deliver on stage.

The discussion shifts into the craft itself, with Tacarra sharing her strategies for avoiding bombing, how she studies crowds before going up, and why comedy is as healing for the comedian as it is for the audience. She reflects on her start in the game after a failed audition led her toward stand-up, and how teaching in New York gave her the financial stability to pursue comedy on her own terms.

Things get fun and personal as the crew unpacks relationships, intimacy, and preferences. From debates on first-time performance in the bedroom to the importance of foreplay and communication, nothing is off-limits. Tacarra gets candid about what she looks for in a partner at this stage in her life, emphasizing peace, empathy, and shared humor over superficial “types.”

The conversation rounds out with family talk, from raising kids, setting boundaries as a parent, to how financial literacy and support shape the next generation. Tacarra’s transparency about balancing motherhood with comedy adds both heart and humor, reminding everyone that the stage is just one part of her story.

This After Hours is raw, hilarious, and real giving fans an inside look at the challenges, lessons, and laughs that come with being a woman blazing her own trail in comedy.

The Underground Lounge hits Atlanta for a special live taping with two comedy powerhouses, Ronnie Jordan and K Dubb, and the energy does not let up from the moment they hit the stage. Lou and Spank sit down with the Atlanta and Memphis-bred comedians to swap hilarious stories about the grind, the game, and the kind of moments you can only get from years of killing stages across the country.

From their very first nights on the mic in the early 2000s to becoming respected veterans in the scene, Ronnie and K Dubb break down how they found their voices, learned to read a room, and built careers in two of the toughest cities for stand-up Atlanta and New York — where bombing can end you before you start. They share unfiltered stories from Uptown Comedy Club, touring with major acts, connecting with names like T.I., and watching the comedy hustle change with the rise of viral videos and internet personalities.

The laughs keep rolling as they get into the art of creating material, how real-life situations turn into stage gold, and why some comedians can’t make the jump from skits to stand-up. They trade favorite comedy movie lists, roast bad performances, and give flowers to legends like J.B. Smoove who inspired them early on. In true Underground Lounge fashion, the “F**K IT BUCKET” makes an appearance, sparking off-the-wall confessions and wild tangents about sex, relationships, and stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

Ronnie and K Dubb also talk upcoming projects, life on the road, and why after decades in the game they’re still chasing that next laugh like it’s their first. Between the jokes, the behind-the-scenes gems, and the live Atlanta crowd, this episode is a crash course in comedy culture from two voices who’ve seen it all, and are still having a damn good time doing it.

The Underground Lounge After Hours turned all the way up with special guest Donnivin Jordan, serving up a mix of hilarious stories, unfiltered opinions, and the kind of candid talk you only get late at night. From the jump, Donnivin had the crew laughing as they compared old reality dating shows, swapped outrageous pet stories, and debated everything from sports fandom to whether or not dogs belong in the bed. Things got personal fast, Donnivin shared why he’s dating with marriage in mind, his deal breakers, and why he’s perfectly fine not watching sports anymore.

From there, the conversation took a hard left into the wild: funeral strippers for a beloved Frenchie, the chaos of owning cats, and some eyebrow-raising “After Hours” bedroom confessions. They got brutally honest about intimacy boundaries, from playful booty smacks to unexpected freaky requests, like splits in the middle of a hookup, and everyone weighed in on whether certain acts were a hard “no” or just situational.

The laughs didn’t stop there. They dove into hypothetical scenarios like what they’d do if they woke up in the opposite sex’s body for 24 hours, shared personal toxic traits, and revealed what they think their strongest qualities are in relationships. Add in tequila talk, debates over whether expensive bottles are worth it, and stories about crazy wedding receptions, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for an After Hours episode that’s equal parts wild, hilarious, and way too real.

In this special live ATL edition of The Underground Lounge, Lou and Spank welcome two culture-driven guests. Media executive and former Roc-A-Fella insider Wayno, and hip hop archivist and collector NuFace, for a deep, funny, and honest conversation that covers music, legacy, and living life through the lens of the culture.

Wayno reflects on his path from growing up in the Bronx and Harlem to becoming an influential voice in hip hop media. He talks about what it was like working at Roc-A-Fella during its peak, his early encounters with Kanye, and how watching artists rise and fall shaped his view of the business. He drops game on the sacrifices and politics of the industry, sharing hard truths about why talent alone isn’t enough, and how ego, timing, and support systems can make or break a career.

NuFace brings a unique perspective as the man who’s “got something to say.” Known for preserving rare hip hop artifacts and curating moments that keep the culture alive, he shares his story of turning passion into purpose. From digging through crates to building museum exhibits, NuFace talks about the importance of documenting Black creativity and making sure the stories behind the music aren’t lost. He also touches on the impact of Atlanta’s scene and how his “NuFace Was There” brand grew from fandom into a cultural institution.

The episode also gets into ATL nightlife memories, the lasting power of artists like Nas, and why certain regions and artists still don’t get their flowers. The crew debates the legacy of the Yin Yang Twins, where to rank them, and how they compare to acts like Travis Porter. There’s even a hilarious round of the “F** It Bucket”* where things get a little spicy.

From thoughtful reflection to straight-up comedy, this episode blends the past, present, and future of hip hop culture through the eyes of two people who’ve really lived it. Whether you're into history, music industry game, or just crazy behind-the-scenes stories, this one checks every box.

The Underground Lounge crew is officially back in the studio after a wild trip to Atlanta, and they return with an After Hours episode that’s hilarious, raw, and fully off the rails. This week, they’re joined by the multi-hyphenate comedian, actor, and content creator Tahir Moore, who brings unfiltered energy, wild stories, and plenty of gems.

The episode kicks off with a deep dive into the origin of Tahir’s name, his cultural background, and the meaning behind it, but it doesn’t take long before things get spicy. From hygiene routines to public bathroom strategies, Tahir pulls back the curtain on real grown-man self-care. He opens up about losing 60 pounds, manscaping, his bidet obsession, and how he’s committed to staying clean, sexy, and fully moisturized, even if it means waxing in places that’ll make you squirm.

In true After Hours fashion, the conversation jumps between bathroom etiquette, the nastiness of “sloppy toppy,” emotional astrology debates, and what happens when you hug someone and feel something you weren’t expecting. Tahir and the crew trade stories about travel, comedy on the road, high-maintenance feet, and even low-key beefs in the industry. They also pause to celebrate a major milestone, the Underground Lounge hitting 100K subscribers on YouTube, and reflect on the journey it takes to build something special from scratch.

Tahir shares how he built his stand-up act city by city, treating each stop like an experiment, testing material live and evolving it like a game of H.O.R.S.E. He speaks candidly about his creative process, ownership mindset, and why surrounding yourself with people who see the big picture is non-negotiable. He’s part strategist, part street poet, part stand-up assassin.

But the highlight of the episode just might be the pettiness segment, where everyone exposes their inner villain. Tahir confesses to being a petty Pisces with a memory like a hard drive, if you cross him, he’ll remember, and he’ll plot his revenge in the most creative way possible. The whole crew joins in, sharing their pettiest moves, worst ex stories, and most diabolical payback schemes.

As things wind down, Tahir gives the audience a preview of what’s coming next, including the highly anticipated return of his show Wording Is Hard on August 27th. He also shows love to fellow comics, shouts out his favorite moments from the Lounge, and makes it clear, he’s not just here to entertain, he’s here to leave a mark.

If you’ve ever wanted to know what happens when comedians let loose after hours, this episode delivers everything: insight, insanity, pettiness, laughter, and a little too much honesty. Tahir Moore is in rare form, and the Underground Lounge is just getting started.

The Underground Lounge took the show on the road and touched down in Atlanta for a legendary sit-down with none other than Jason Weaver, and this one is filled with gems, laughter, real-life lessons, and cultural insight you won’t get anywhere else.

Live from ATL, Jason walks Lou Will and Spank through his iconic journey, from child star to industry veteran, and opens up in a way few artists ever do. He talks about getting his start in Chicago, navigating early fame, and the moment his mother made a contract decision that would set him up for life. From Smart Guy and Drumline to ATL and beyond, Jason breaks down how he’s remained relevant and respected for decades while moving with purpose, not ego.

The convo dives into everything, his biggest financial mistake, how fame can become a trap if you’re not careful, and why loving the craft has to come before chasing the check. He offers honest advice to young Black performers about staying grounded and protecting your peace in an industry that often rewards the opposite.

Jason also gives rare behind-the-scenes insight on working with legends like Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah and Michael Jackson, his early music career with Motown, and the truth about what’s happening (or not happening) with ATL 2. He gets real about the business side of entertainment, the power of ownership, and why artists today need to start thinking like bosses, not just performers.

From heartfelt moments to hilarious stories to bar-for-bar wisdom, this ATL edition of the Underground Lounge is a masterclass in longevity, legacy, and staying 10 toes down.

The crew is back in the studio after their trip to Atlanta, and the energy is high for another unpredictable edition of Underground Lounge: After Hours. With Holly, Lou, and Spank back together, this episode kicks off with jokes, confessions, and a lot of reflection. From wild DMs and embarrassing social media moments to honest talk about what makes a man a “whore” in the digital age, nothing is off-limits.

Things take a serious turn when Lou shares a harrowing story about an active shooter scare at a youth basketball tournament in Chicago. He breaks down how he and other parents acted quickly to get the girls to safety, and raises concerns about the lack of security and planning at events involving children. It’s a heavy but important moment that underscores how real life can interrupt even the most routine plans.

Back on the lighter side, Holly opens up about the Atlanta live show, learning to fall back and listen more on the mic, and being reminded of the star power sitting right next to her. The crew also gets into Love Island clips, public opinions on Black women, and why representation matters, even in reality TV.

In true After Hours fashion, the conversation takes a hilarious turn into movie dreams, acting gigs, and who’s been spotted in random Tubi films. Spank reveals he’s writing a rom-com, Holly volunteers to audition, and they brainstorm a storyline involving her getting kidnapped and catching feelings for the captor. (Yes, you read that right.) That leads to a full-blown conversation about Stockholm syndrome, how Black folks would really survive a scary movie, and whether they’d actually come to rescue each other in real life.

The crew wraps with a candid discussion about violence, guns, and what it would truly take to pull the trigger. It’s life, it’s laughs, and it’s layered.

Back from the road and right back in their bag, this episode is unfiltered, unhinged, and undeniably entertaining. Whether you’re here for the real talk or the ridiculousness, After Hours delivers all of it, and then some.
