After SchoolEd

It's our first episode with a sponsor! After a brief intro, we get into our first ad read right away.  3:58 Ad Read Man Grapes Wow! What a product. I'm in.  5:37 ReviewED Interstellar We slide into slipsace filled with love, the love of a good Man Grape. What a bonkers movie. Michael Caine refuses to stand up, and plays an American genius. Matthew Mcconaughy absolutely brings it. Anne Hathaway alm...

We're finally here: After School.  On this podcast, other than mostly nonsense and inappropriate jokes, we cover homeschool, with a focus on older HS, and also we follow a homeschool student out there, into the real world, to see what happens After School.  Well, she took her first real steps into the "Real World" this summer, and they were huge steps.  We're breaking up the summer review into a f...

Another Chef's Table here. The OG Ep 25 was a bust because we messed up the recording. Chef went at this one alone real quick to catch up. We'll release the tapes when they release the files. smh 2025 sucks We start with a Graduation recap. It was a blast. Great party. We talk about some homeschool Senior Year and HS tips as part of this.  Chef makes it all sad when he talks about the Faculty of t...

We got this one in the can over two months ago. Finally edited and published. It's been wild here.  Chef jumps in right away with a new segment: Chef's Table. First course: an update on the delay and what we've been doing.  6:16 We're back into normal programming. It's a homeschool and family heavy ep. Lots of updates on what Rose is doing as a homeschool student winding up her senior year.  We've...

We have got to stop this, but we accidentally did another helpful episode.  Luckily, to make sure we don't actually get any listeners, Chef immediately derails us with a flagrantly inappropriate joke.  3:46 We're back on track: a helpful Social Studies segment that talks about the day of SAT taking for a homeschool kid. Previous eps have helped us register and walked through do's and don'ts of tes...

We haven't been recording much, and it's time to come clean.  Our fam was shattered a couple weeks ago, and life will never be the same. We bring y'all into our world and share what happened, both because we owe it to our fans (Schoolies? Homies? Schoolios? Ultras?) and because if there's any chance we can help you and your loved ones, to ideally prevent this from ever happening to you, then it's...

We're back! Season 2 has a tighter, lighter format. It's Graduation --> Gap Year!  We kick it off in style with the first of our spring themed eps.  11:43 SOS Tulip Mania We talk about the first ever economic bubble, which indluded the first futures sales, and is the source of the very word bubble in an economic sense: the Dutch Tulip Craze of 1636. Fortunes were made, more were lost, all over Tul...

2025 has hit AfterschoolEd hard.  On a light, postitive note, Rose has been good busy. She's been volunteering to teach dance at a local elementary school. It's been fantastic for them and her. But it means it's impossible to get her Rose and Chef on the same page schedule wise.  On a serious note, living in a Nazi, Fascist regime has been as nightmarish as it was predictable, and that grind is ev...

Season One has been a blast. Thanks for tuning in.  Big changes coming. Rose is super busy with Senior Year stuff- teaching in Billings at 7:45am sometimes.  At MontAsia, we have the lowest staffing levels ever, and we're expecting the biggest numbers ever, so Chef is strapped. He's often doing dishes until 3am.  We simply can't record and edit two hour eps anymore.  We'll do a one more big Season...

We start with one of our biggest intros ever, but we cover a lot, from the Vegas and CA vacays, to Home Schooling, plus a mini ScratchEd segment talks about how all the cancer days have been slowing down our schedule, but it has been a happy break with really special family time.   17:39  SOS In an AfterschoolEd first: a breaking news segment!!! During our post intro recording break, DUO called Ch...

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 Afterscho...

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 (Pi...

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...

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 in...

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 Rat...

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", hi...

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:...

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...

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 t...

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 Gilliga...

Wait a second. . . did we make an actually helpful episode!?! This, and for once we don't say it jokingly, really is a homeschool podcast.  We dive into a recap of Rose's time in Italy, and we talk about the importance of club and sport activities to homeschoolers, and how it could actually be a superpower and not a weakness.  After a trip into the magic of the number 7, we get straight up helpful...

A crazy, weird, wild ep. Kind of our last "rough draft" or pre-recorded one. We did this a few weeks ago, and we had to fight for it- it was super late at night, with Rose leaving for Italy the next day, and Chef coming off one of his worst days ever.  Between Chef's angry rants about split checks and our meandering tangents about Marfa and malls and everything in between, we had to edit this an i...

Our Forgotten Episode! Recorded after a long day dealing with cancer, we literally forgot we got this one in the can. Some days are like that- just trying to stay afloat, & it's exactly those days that laughter is the most imporant.  So, around midnight at the bar, we laughed, mostly about what not to do in life.  Youthphoria teaches us how not to color, and how not to brand. We then review the le...

For our biggest ever show, we start at the Met Gala, breaking down the best looks from this year's show. Sticking with pop culture- with Chef dropping some historical background and English lit cred- we take on the big rap battle of the summer: Kendrick v Drake.  In between we do a Name It segment, and another Smash or Pass.  The third segment has us taking on the heart of a very important quesito...

One of the worst myths about teaching in general, and homeschool specifically: "I can't teach it because I don't know it." This is literally the opposite of good teaching. This is called Sage on the Stage. It's actually better to learn together, or Guide on the Side.  This week, we tackle it head on with a recurring segment SOS, or Sage on the Stage. Chef talks (and talks and talks) about the Chil...
