The Rise Guys After Hours Podcast

Our parents tell us stories about what happened during the first 2-3 years of our lives, but what if they're all made up?

Do you have a favorite movie? Mattman does! Nine says it's impossible to have just one favorite movie. Can you have a favorite food? Can you have a favorite anything? We tried to figure out which one of us is weird, but we know it's probably both of us.

Continuing last week's conversation, we talked about hollow Earth, inner Earth, Middle Earth, and wherever Godzilla lives in the new movies. Special guest appearances by Admiral Byrd, the Bermuda Triangle, and inter-dimensional aliens!   

Nine has a story about his family and those are always weird fun! This one features a great grandpa and a great-great uncle going to a tent revival and experiencing something that left them scared for the rest of their lives.  

Mattman owned a company that sold sex toys at one point and we're talking all about it on this week's episode!

Just a casual re-telling of a story about a time we almost died and someone almost got stabbed. 

Do you ever think how lucky we are to be alive after growing up in the 1980's & 90's? That's what this week's cast is all about! We didn't have a Class Action Park of our own, but literally everything was dangerous when we were kids.       originally aired 9/9/2020

Nine found some research from the University of Georgia and it made for an interesting discussion. You get some good, candidly honest conversation this week! 

Mattman comes clean about a lie he's been telling since 2004, but there was a good reason for it. We've spent a lot of time in Charlotte and Atlanta, so which one do we like more? We also talk about Dolly Parton movies and some of Nine's favorite bad 80s action movies!

It's been 20 years since Jackass: The Movie came out and we finally saw Jackass Forever last week.  We had Steve-O on The Rise Guys back in 2015 and a lot of people haven't heard it, so let's walk down memory lane 

Mattman wonders why we don't do any archaeology in America. Does Nine have answers? Why does the United States own so many golf courses all over the world? How much history has been hidden from us?

Mattman tells a truly unbelievable story from his childhood and discusses the ramifications & fallout from what happened.

Nine doesn't want to be in the metaverse, but he knows exactly how he's going to wind up there. It's how we'll all wind up there, even if we don't think we will!   

Are we embracing more old man hobbies in 2022? We covered a lot of ground on this week's episode and it's pretty dang funny!

We went down a few different rabbit holes this week. Everything from The Beach Boys featuring Uncle Jesse from Full House on drums to how cool The Battle of the Network Stars was back in the day!  Eventually, we got to the War on Drugs and it turned out we had a lot to say about that subject.

The Metaverse! What we think about it, what it it looks like in the near future, and some yelling at clouds. Also some In The Heat of the Night talk. The TV show, not the movie. 

More conversation about Mattman aka Chief being a new grandpa. Would anything change Nine's mind about having kids someday, or is it too late now? Somebody is thinking real hard about getting a dog! 

A lot of people always want to know why Mattman is always wearing sunglasses, even indoors or at night. We looked into that, and we told the story about the time we got in a fist fight on TV!

Before we even got started, Nine was MAD! Then the fire alarm made a cameo appearance, and THEN we got to discuss Mattman's really interesting thought about parents making up stuff that happened when we were all too young to remember it anyway. Did Bill Elliott really hold baby Nine back in 1985? No one knows for sure.

Chevy Chase, that is. We discussed the big Twitter debate of Chevy Chase Vs Will Ferrell! Who do we like more?  We talked about those two and a slew of other comedy legends!

Were they even sick, or were people just having fun when they all decided to dance in the streets for 2 full months in the summer of 1518?

Nine just bought a big American V8 muscle car last week. This week, they're all officially going away to make way for electric muscle. We have feelings about this, and we talked about the best & worst cars we've ever owned!

Mattman is the king of tongue twisters after this episode. Nine had a wonderful surprise for everyone who listens closely, and we put together our perfect Thanksgiving feast!

Have we reached the point in life where we aren't interested in new technology, or are we just a little more picky about which new things we want to embrace? Maybe it's a little bit of both!

We both seeemed to realize there were waaay more rock concerts 20 years ago than there are now, and it turns out it isn't just us getting old and thinking stuff used to be better! It's actually true! But why?!
