Two Simps and a Micraphone

We talk about the TWOSIMPS episode “Surviving the ’80s Part One,” get into a discussion about ivermectin, and catch up on whatever else comes to mind. No set agenda—just another late-night conversation on AFTERHOURS.

How the hell did we survive the ’80s? In Part 1, John and Steve look back at growing up when parents didn’t know where you were, safety gear was optional, and playgrounds seemed designed to test your survival skills.

We’re swapping stories, questioning our childhood decisions, and wondering how any of us made it to adulthood. What’s the most dangerous thing you did as an ’80s kid?

We started by looking back at Episode 2 of Two Simps and a Micraphone—what we thought we knew at 25, relationships, money, getting older, and all the things we were completely wrong about.
Then, like any good AfterHours conversation, we completely lost the plot.
Random stories, questionable opinions, side conversations, and whatever else came up once the lights went down and the filter came off.
No script. No real agenda. Just John and Steve talking shit after the show.
Welcome to AfterHours.

Two Simps and a Micraphone: AfterHours
The show’s over, but we’re not done talking.

At 25, we had life pretty much figured out.
Turns out, we didn't know shit.
John and Steve look back at what their 25-year-old selves believed about relationships, money, careers, and life—and just how wrong they were. We talk about what those younger versions of us would think if they could see us now, the lessons we learned the hard way, and the advice we'd give ourselves if we could go back.
Would 25-year-old John and Steve listen?
Probably not.
This is Two Simps and a Micraphone.

The lights are down. The filter is off. Welcome to After Hours.
In the very first episode of Two Simps and a Micraphone: After Hours, John and Steve take the conversation beyond the regular show.
This is where we dig deeper into the things we normally don't have time to fully get into—life, relationships, getting older, opinions, bad decisions, good stories, and whatever else comes up once the regular show is over.
No experts. No polished answers. Just two middle-aged guys talking about what they think, what they've learned, and occasionally proving they still don't know a damn thing.

Two Simps and a Micraphone: After Hours
For Spotify's Season field, put 1, and Episode field, put 1. Since Spotify already displays those separately, you could also shorten the visible title to simply “The Filter Is Off”. That's actually the version I'd choose—it looks cleaner in Spotify while the show artwork/name tells people it's After Hours.

What the hell is a simp—and are we already guilty?
In the very first episode of Two Simps and a Micraphone, John and Steve attempt to figure out what being a “simp” actually means. Along the way, the conversation goes exactly where you’d expect it to: marriage, getting older, questionable decisions, things we probably believed for way too long, and stories that have absolutely nothing to do with where we started.
Two middle-aged guys. A couple microphones. Plenty of life experience—and apparently not enough wisdom to keep our mouths shut.
Nothing is off limits, nothing is taken too seriously, and somehow we might even learn something.
