After Later with John Wessling and Tommy Drake

The comic/actor/VO artist from Wisconsin leaves Los Angeles for the green grass of Lexington Kentucky to raise his family and hijinks ensue. Cut to: Today he's talking to a chubby podcaster out of Houston Texas about the documentary "UNACKNOWLEDGED" and UFO's and class warfare and webcam girls finances and other ill-advised sensitive topics until they wind up on a watchlist. Luckily the man is a m...

A very weekend laidback version of the After Later lounge, with me chilling on the couch and Grady Pruitt sitting on his daddy's porch in Matagorda Texas. The young man talks about starting a career in the entertainment business in the age of cancel culture and just a bunch of other foolishness. Honestly, I'm worried for him in a post-apocalyptic hellscape. Like, more than just the overall worry a...

Billy D. Washington is a multi-talented individual who I'm lucky to call a friend. We talk about his new project "Tales of the Virus" an amazing sci-fi audio experience, a deep dive into comedian culture and Houston comedy history, the nature of selling out and then he gets weirdly aggressive about post-apocalyptic animals. It's a great listen.

She's a lawyer, a writer and an all around very smart person and its important to talk to people like Steph Stradley at times like these. We talked sports, sports trolls, anonymous twitter folks, the horror of moderating comment sections, wearing masks and not being a prick about it and so much more. She proposes being a cabinet level advisor to our imaginary post-apocalyptic warlord, but not like...

From the Great White North, comedian and former Canadian Paratrooper Jason Blanchard helps us prepare for disaster, teaches glove etiquette, scorns "Gate Lice", explains the basics of sales and extensively outlines his plans to be the post-apocalytic benevolent warlord of our dreams. But beware! If you encounter him in the badlands and he already has an eyepatch on, avoid him at all costs, he's to...

I reached out to my friend Kristin for her expert advice on how to reach more women for my podcast audience. I learned through her mockery of me that my problem is very real. She also has the best post-apocalyptic job answer yet.

He's a man of mystery and controversy, known by few as Jason - most as STROSFANiknow - and now after a twitter ban as @STROSFANuknow - but I keep things formal and call him simply "Mr. Fan"

J-O-D, as I lovingly call him, is the voice of the AHL Iowa Wild...which USED to be the Houston Aeros. We used to be radio partners at Sports Radio 610 in Houston briefly, hosting the ground-breaking SABADO MUCHO and ALL HOCKEY TEN O'CLOCKEY. He lives in the beautiful town of Des Moines but he hails from the mean streets of Philadelphia and co-hosts The Brotherly Love Podcast right here on Anchor....

If you know me, you know I had a very long joke about "shetland people" that in hindsight was very insensitive. So I felt I needed to make amends with my friend, who HAPPENS to be a little person and funny comic, Clinton Shorter. And before you crack wise, that is his REAL NAME.

The host of The Baller Lifestyle Podcast and alumnus of Travis Rodgers Now, Brian Beckner beams in from near the beautiful beaches of Cali. We talk about the trials and tribulations of podcasting, building an audience, assholey drivers, comparing continuous consent sex to the car buying experience, supermodel toes, HIS toes, a LOT about our shared admiration of BIRDS OF PREY (actual birds, not the...

Hilarious! I've known Matty Kirsch since 1997 and I swear he hasn't aged a minute in 23 years. I, however, look like a grizzled bag of Lebowski crap. We talk about the encompassing world of gaming, the new creators, Fortnite, Joe Rogan briefly and Matty's plan to be the World's Funniest Amazon delivery driver.

The Comedy King of Paris Texas talks food, life, post-plague comedy business, more food, white people seasonings, a dab of race vs. culture, his son graduating high school this year and his designs to be a wartime consigliere for apocalyptic warlord. Oh, and I make a shakshuka while we talk.

My teammate repping Houston on the upcoming COAST TO COAST ROAST! We practice blasting the cities we're about to be pitted against, but not TOO MUCH so the enemies don't know what we're planning. It starts off as comedy but it doesn't take long for us to start talking about revolution and selling ass in a collapsed economy. Fun for the whole family!!

Chilling in the After Later lounge with Chris Siele, having a good time and then BAM Anson Ainsworth pops in from Florida.

Behold! The Millennial Marvin Zindler! I kid, of course, but Craig is as "Houston" as they come. The versatile tattooed man about town discusses sobriety in the face of quarantine, the vertical nature of today's pop culture and his love of flowers and tacos.

KiKi Maroon is not just a Houston titan of burlesque, she's also America's foremost stripping clown. Join us as we discuss the business acumen of webcam girls, our opinions of pet hygiene and the glory of showgirl bookkeeping.

It's not so much what we DID talk about in this podcast as it is what we DID NOT talk about in this podcast. Suffice it to say that Xavier Nady is no Mickey Mantle.

Comic comes back from the dead, crawling from the wilderness back to the city, finds himself a better person and a comedian. Weird, that. Also discussions about carpentry, automotive repair and why he quit cocaine.

My dear friend and true Texas folk hero, Chuck Savage joins me. Played bass with Mitch Hedberg, hung out with Willie Nelson, and most impressively he did 50 shows in 50 states in 50 days with me and Tommy Drake. We talk about his youth as a race car driver stalking Christie Brinkley and then it goes downhill in hurry after that...

The intrepid comic/rapper/podcaster joins us from an abandoned Austin Texas to talk about losing weight on purpose during a plague quarantine, laments the state of his fade and drops what I believe is fresh rhymes on us. Check out his rap CULT Vanilla Presley with Lane Krarup and his podcast Lie Cheat and Steal with co-host Kath Barbadoro.

Talking about baseball in a bubble with the genius behind AstrosCounty.com and it turns out he's a historian because he reads.

Andy Huggins (AKA BLACK JESUS) is a legend in the worlds of stand up comedy and chasing rich widow women. We talked about the plague, sleeping habits and whether or not we should tell unfunny people to quit comedy for the benefit of the herd. Barely mentioned Bill Hicks at all and not until the end.
