What starts as a normal episode quickly turns into one of those conversations that goes completely off the rails—in the best way possible.In this episode of The After Show But Later, Daniel and Luis Cortez Jr. bounce between topics like only they can, somehow connecting everything from the legacy of The Crow and the tragic story of Brandon Lee, to wrestling history, street culture, and everyday life experiences. It’s the kind of episode where you come for one topic… and stay for ten others you didn’t expect.The conversation dives into how Sting built his iconic persona inspired by The Crow, and how pop culture moments like that shape entire generations. From there, it spirals into real-life experiences growing up around graffiti, tagging, and creative expression—sharing personal stories, sketchbooks, and memories that highlight how deeply culture influences identity.But this isn’t just nostalgia. The episode also mixes in hilarious, relatable moments—from breaking down the difference between “barrio” vs “varrio,” to debating random everyday topics like washing hats (and why most people are doing it wrong). It’s that blend of humor, storytelling, and unpredictability that makes this show what it is.If you’ve ever had a conversation with your friends that somehow jumps from serious topics to completely random debates—and still makes perfect sense—this episode is exactly that energy.⏱️ Chapters00:00 Intro – Patreon, live vs future viewers01:30 Why this episode isn’t live (and how to fix that)03:00 The Crow legacy & Brandon Lee story06:30 Wrestling connection – Sting’s iconic transformation10:20 Wild transition… vasectomy talk 😂11:30 Barrio vs Varrio – what’s the real difference?16:10 Graffiti vs tagging vs murals explained18:00 Growing up around graffiti culture21:50 Personal artwork & throwback stories27:00 Venice Beach graffiti walls explained30:20 Old sketchbooks & street art memories34:00 Breakdancing culture & 80s influence35:15 Random topic roulette begins35:30 Washing hats the right way (life hack)36:30 Why washing machines ruin your hats38:30 Hat cages, tricks, and why they still fail39:00 Tailor hacks to restore hats to brand new40:00 Protecting hats from sweat & long-term wear41:30 “Best show in 20 years” debate (can everything be the best?)45:50 Matching your look for TV/filming (harder than it sounds)47:00 Weight fluctuations & consistency struggles48:30 Random topic roulette continues50:00 Everyday habits & personal routines52:00 More off-the-rails conversation moments54:00 Listener-style commentary & observations56:00 Wrapping up thoughts + reflecting on the episode58:00 Shoutouts to listeners & live chat59:30 Teasing next episode (Europe stories incoming)1:01:00 Outro + appreciation for supportersKeep Up With Us:Tuesday Live Show Direct Link ► / https://tinyurl.com/tasbl Tiktok ► / https://www.tiktok.com/@aftershowblTwitter ► / https://x.com/aftershowblInstagram ► / https://www.instagram.com/aftershowblFacebook ► / https://www.facebook.com/AfterShowBLYouTube ► / https://www.youtube.com/c/aftershowblCNR Submissions FB Group ► / https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1D4Ymc8qYn/After Show But Later Merch:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096YRQDYR/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_GTV3XYFDB6SVNY767EMFContact Us:928-235-5285

In this episode of The After Show But Later, we dive into real-life podcast moments you don’t usually hear about — from awkward fan interactions to unforgettable meetup stories, travel chaos, and celebrating major milestones in podcasting.Daniel and Luis kick things off catching up on life — including Luis preparing for a massive Europe trip, the reality of long-haul flights, and how travel really hits different when you’re not flying first class. From packing strategies to surviving 10+ hour flights, it’s all here.But things take a turn when the conversation shifts to meeting listeners in real life… and how those interactions don’t always go as expected. One story in particular stands out — when Daniel reintroduces himself to someone he previously met… and the response is not what you’d expect. It opens up a deeper conversation about recognition, connection, and how differently people perceive shared experiences.The episode also highlights the evolution of podcast communities — including reflections on the 1,000-episode milestone of Covino & Rich, and how consistency, resilience, and adapting to new platforms can build something long-lasting.You’ll also hear:Behind-the-scenes meetup stories from past eventsA hilarious story about someone tracking Luis down months later after a brief interactionThoughts on podcast growth and community cultureWhy some people are unforgettable… and others aren’tAnd plenty of off-the-rails moments that make this show what it isIf you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like meeting listeners, building a community, or navigating awkward social moments — this episode is for you.👇 Drop a comment:Have you ever had an awkward meetup moment?⏱️ Chapters (Curiosity-Driven + SEO Optimized)00:00 – Episode 333 Begins (Dodgers, vibes, and chaos)02:00 – Luis’ Europe Trip Prep (10-hour flight reality)04:30 – First Class vs Reality Travel 😂07:00 – Fear of Traveling Outside the U.S.08:30 – 1,000 Episodes… What It Really Means10:30 – Podcast Growth & Evolution (Real Talk)14:30 – Meetup Story That Still BOTHERS Me 😬17:30 – The Fear of Not Recognizing Fans20:00 – The CRAZY “I’ve Been Looking For You” Story 😳24:30 – Why Some People Leave Impressions… Others Don’t26:30 – Breaking Down Covino & Rich’s Best Moments30:00 – The Most Wild Clip Explained 😂33:00 – Podcast Chemistry & Why It Works34:30 – Where to Watch & Support the Show59:00 – Final Thoughts + What’s Coming NextKeep Up With Us:Tuesday Live Show Direct Link ► / https://tinyurl.com/tasbl Tiktok ► / https://www.tiktok.com/@aftershowblTwitter ► / https://x.com/aftershowblInstagram ► / https://www.instagram.com/aftershowblFacebook ► / https://www.facebook.com/AfterShowBLYouTube ► / https://www.youtube.com/c/aftershowblCNR Submissions FB Group ► / https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1D4Ymc8qYn/After Show But Later Merch:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096YRQDYR/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_GTV3XYFDB6SVNY767EMFContact Us:928-235-5285

In this episode, Daniel and Luis kick things off by catching up on the week, diving into everything from travel stories and scorching Arizona heat to the return of baseball season and the excitement (and gambling temptation) that comes with it. But as always, things quickly shift into deeper—and funnier—territory.One of the standout conversations revolves around online communities, specifically the chaos of group pages where breaking news turns into spam, repeated posts, and nonstop drama. The guys unpack the frustration of seeing the same headlines posted over and over again and question why people chase attention instead of contributing meaningfully to the conversation. It’s a hilarious rant, but also one that hits close to home if you’ve ever been part of an online community.From there, the discussion turns into something surprisingly real: the impact of politics on everyday interactions. Whether it’s social media arguments or awkward real-life encounters (like being stuck in line while strangers argue politics), the episode explores how divisive conversations can creep into places they don’t belong—and why sometimes it’s better to just not engage at all.But it’s not all frustration—there’s a strong theme of connection throughout the episode. The guys reflect on how Covino & Rich has brought people together over the years, leading to real friendships that would have never existed otherwise. It’s a reminder of how powerful shared interests can be in building community, even in a world full of division.The episode also dives into lighter, classic After Show topics like:Whether bringing friends on vacation actually ruins the experienceThe psychology behind “finding your people”Celebrity culture and viral headlines you didn’t even know existedAnd a hilarious debate about Shaggy impressions (yes, seriously)Toward the end, things get nostalgic as the conversation shifts to celebrity crushes and how early influences shape attraction and taste. It’s funny, relatable, and guaranteed to spark your own memories.At its core, this episode is about balancing chaos and connection—online, in real life, and within yourself. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the takes, or the community vibe, Episode 332 delivers.👉 If you’ve ever:Been annoyed by social media dramaFound real friends through unexpected placesOr just wanted a show that feels like hanging out with your crewThis one’s for you.Keep Up With Us:Tuesday Live Show Direct Link ► / https://tinyurl.com/tasbl Tiktok ► / https://www.tiktok.com/@aftershowblTwitter ► / https://x.com/aftershowblInstagram ► / https://www.instagram.com/aftershowblFacebook ► / https://www.facebook.com/AfterShowBLYouTube ► / https://www.youtube.com/c/aftershowblCNR Submissions FB Group ► / https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1D4Ymc8qYn/After Show But Later Merch:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096YRQDYR/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_GTV3XYFDB6SVNY767EMFContact Us:928-235-5285

It’s a St. Patrick’s Day episode, and the energy is exactly what you’d expect—chaotic, funny, and completely unfiltered. Daniel and Luis kick things off in full holiday spirit, or at least one of them does. Luis shows up fully committed to the theme with green gear, accessories, and even green beer, while Daniel does his best to keep up with a much more low-key approach. That contrast sets the tone for the entire episode: one part preparation, one part winging it, and all of it entertaining. From the jump, the conversation flows naturally into what makes moments like this fun—the vibe, the spontaneity, and the ability to just laugh at whatever happens in real time. It’s not about perfection; it’s about showing up, celebrating the moment, and letting the conversation go wherever it wants.Early in the episode, Daniel takes a moment to give a genuine shoutout to Kelvin Gastelum, highlighting something that goes beyond sports. Instead of just focusing on his success in the UFC, Daniel talks about how Gastelum continues to give back to his hometown by organizing local fight events and bringing in other fighters and personalities. It’s a reminder that success doesn’t have to mean leaving everything behind—it can also mean reinvesting in the community that helped shape you. The way Daniel describes the growth of these events, from smaller productions to more polished showcases, makes it clear how much impact one person can have when they stay connected to where they came from. It’s one of those moments in the episode where things briefly shift from jokes and banter to something more meaningful, without losing the authenticity of the show.One of the standout segments comes when they dive into a discussion about Nu Metal, sparked by a conversation they heard elsewhere. What starts as a simple topic quickly turns into a nostalgic deep dive into bands like Slipknot, Korn, System of a Down, Disturbed, and Limp Bizkit. They break down what defines the genre, why it resonated so much during their younger years, and how it still holds up today. Daniel shares a story about bonding with a classmate who didn’t even speak the same language, all through a shared love of music. It’s a perfect example of how music can transcend barriers and bring people together in ways that don’t require words. Luis adds his own experiences, talking about introducing different types of music to coworkers and how reactions can vary depending on taste, culture, and exposure. The conversation isn’t just about bands—it’s about identity, connection, and how certain eras of music leave a lasting mark on who you are.As the episode continues, things take a more playful turn with a viral-style game where they have to choose between different “rooms” filled with celebrities. It’s one of those segments that instantly sparks debate, not just between them but also with the audience. They try to figure out who’s in each room, debate their options, and ultimately make their picks based on a mix of attraction, curiosity, and humor. What makes it work is the back-and-forth—the second-guessing, the jokes, and the willingness to call each other out. By the end of the episode, what stands out most is how effortlessly everything comes together. There’s no single “main topic,” but that’s exactly the point. It’s a mix of stories, opinions, jokes, and reflections that create a full experience rather than a rigid format. Whether they’re talking about music, birthdays, sports, or random internet games, the focus stays on connection—between the hosts, with the audience, and through shared experiences. It’s the kind of episode that feels like hanging out with friends, where the conversation can go anywhere and still keep you entertained the entire time.Keep Up With Us:Tuesday Live Show Direct Link ► / https://tinyurl.com/tasbl Twitter ► / https://x.com/aftershowblYouTube ► / https://www.youtube.com/c/aftershowblContact Us:928-235-5285

From there the conversation goes everywhere — including live chat shoutouts, comedy shows, podcast community stories, and some classic Chuck Norris–style jokes.Later in the episode the discussion takes a serious turn as they react to a bizarre news story involving ChatGPT allegedly being used in a crime investigation. Could AI really become part of a legal case? The guys break down the story, the absurdity of criminals using technology to try to cover their tracks, and how wild the internet has become.They also discuss:Podcast community drama and celebrationsThe challenges of time zones and daylight saving timeInfomercial products that actually worked (and some that didn’t)The weird things people search on the internetClassic Chuck Norris jokes and creating their own versionsAs always, the live chat joins the conversation with jokes, stories, and reactions.If you enjoy unfiltered podcast conversations, comedy, and random internet stories, this episode is for you.👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes of The After Show But Later.Keep Up With Us:Tuesday Live Show Direct Link ► / https://tinyurl.com/tasbl Tiktok ► / https://www.tiktok.com/@aftershowblTwitter ► / https://x.com/aftershowblInstagram ► / https://www.instagram.com/aftershowblFacebook ► / https://www.facebook.com/AfterShowBLYouTube ► / https://www.youtube.com/c/aftershowblCNR Submissions FB Group ► / https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1D4Ymc8qYn/After Show But Later Merch:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096YRQDYR/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_GTV3XYFDB6SVNY767EMFContact Us:928-235-5285

The episode kicks off with a recap of the week and some fun banter about themes, concerts, and what’s coming up next. Luis shows up rocking a metal concert vibe, which leads into a discussion about concert season, upcoming shows, and the excitement of seeing bands live again.From there, the conversation shifts into something unexpected: manual transmission cars. The guys talk about how fewer people today know how to drive stick shift, share their own stories of learning the hard way, and debate whether knowing basic mechanical skills like changing a tire or driving manual is still important today.That discussion leads into one of the funniest ideas from the episode — the “Tattoo vs Hat vs Haircut” theory.The idea is simple: some decisions in life are permanent (like tattoos), some are temporary (like haircuts), and some are easy to change instantly (like hats). The guys break down how that concept applies to everyday decisions, life choices, and even relationships.Later in the episode, the spotlight turns to Shia LaBeouf and his now-viral interview that has been making the rounds online. The hosts react to some of the wild moments, discuss whether Shia is misunderstood or simply chaotic, and talk about his complicated history in Hollywood. They also touch on his upbringing, his acting career, and how child stardom may have shaped who he is today.The episode also dives into nostalgia with a discussion about Dr. Seuss books and childhood reading, including classics like Green Eggs and Ham. Surprisingly, the hosts realize they had very different experiences growing up when it comes to those books and children’s stories.Between all the debates, random tangents, and hilarious stories, Episode 329 delivers the kind of relaxed, unfiltered conversation that fans of the show expect.Keep Up With Us:Tuesday Live Show Direct Link ► / https://tinyurl.com/tasbl Tiktok ► / https://www.tiktok.com/@aftershowblTwitter ► / https://x.com/aftershowblInstagram ► / https://www.instagram.com/aftershowblFacebook ► / https://www.facebook.com/AfterShowBLYouTube ► / https://www.youtube.com/c/aftershowblCNR Submissions FB Group ► / https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1D4Ymc8qYn/After Show But Later Merch:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096YRQDYR/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_GTV3XYFDB6SVNY767EMFContact Us:928-235-5285
