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 a part of it.

Oui Oui 1:16
Nara and Lucky Smith
Chef Learns about Nara and Lucky, and, much like ep 1's Skibbity vid- it's a real eye opener for him. They have three children and their names are. . . . . they're not traditional. Chef might have a Lucky crush.

YellowstonEd 14:00
The Fenn Treasure Update
Back in the homeschool days of yore, we went deep on looking for the Forrest Fenn Treasure (that chest of treasure hidden by the Santa Fe dude in the Rocky MT West). We had a solid theory about where it was probably located. Our theory involved a few specific locations to the East of YNP in Wyoming. Update? It's been found. Where? Let's just say Chef and Rose might be geniuses.

YellowstonEd 19:47
The 5 Stages of Grief as Two Blue Peeps in a Bright Red Maga County
We recorded this episode 13 days after the election. It took a few weeks extra- a brutal few weeks. Both Chef and Rose went dark for a bit there. We're back.
What are the 5 Stages of Grief? We talk about our trip through those stages in the past few weeks. And we talk about what went wrong.

TinklEd 33:33
The 4B Movement
Chef knew Rose would still be fiesty after the election debrief, so he came in prepped with a history of the 4B movement as a means to resisting Patriarchy Gone Wild. We talk history, deets, spread, pushback, and rebuttal to pushback in a way only Chef could: with a skiing analogy.

86Ed 39:45
Application Tips, Tip Slips, Tip Pools
Can modern youth write their names, phone numbers, and email addresses by hand?
What should you write on restaurant tip slips?
Should you have restaurants split checks, ever?
NO. NOTHING. NEVER.
We explain.

Eff Marry Kill 53:05
Food Trios
We start with Poke, Sushi, and Sashimi, and we decide which one we'd (ahem), which one we'd marry, and which one we'd kill.
It's a banger segment, and we'll do it again for sure.

ReviewEd 1:03.00
Rando Cycles
Pop culture goes in cycles, like so much of history. We review one of the worst trends that come back every now and then: the Random!!!! sense of humor cycle. Buckle up. Chef has notes.

Koan Koan Git 1:09.35
The Biggest Questions in Life
Sometimes in kitchens it's all jokes and nonsense. Slow season though, shit gets real, and the other day we talked about the biggest three questions of modern life. Something to ponder.

ReviewEd 1:20.30
Zero Prep Sequel Check In
We used to watch movies on repeat when Rose was a kid. Does she remember? Madagascar 2 and Hangover 2 get check ins.

Tip Out 1:27.35
Get Your Shit Together and Future Earth
To get over the election, Chef is banging out some fiery tunes. Rose is looking for good news.

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 into mumsing or guising?

Rose takes on a new segue, named Rose Way for now, and dives into hot takes on the halloween costumes of the year.

A GhostEd sement takes a few unexpected turns, becoming one of the craziest trips down memory lane. Chef walks us through his encounters with ghosts (he's way way more into them than you would have thought), right up to his epic battle with the ghost of his father in law. Chef's. . . . well, chef's nuts, frankly.

A WHM Trailer Game inspired Name It has Rose guessing famous halloween movies based on trivia deets. It's a hit, and we'll have to do more.

We maybe stretched to call it a GhostEd, as our second GhostEd segment is really a double header of classic true crime stories. We learn Rose is way, way into true crime. It's a couple crazy stories.

We finish our last Spookisode of '24 with a Halloween ReviewEd. We talk more costumes, we talk candy, and we rank where Halloween falls on our personal holiday lists.

Last Spookisode Tip Out is a classic window into Rose and Chef: shopping and mapping and doing it in style.

Stay safe in the coming days y'all. Fans of the show know we're rooting for a Harris win with the frosting on the cake being a Tester win too. We'll see. Fingers crossed. Much love either way. Feeling terrified but optimistic about the former, and sad and worried about the latter.

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 Rather that straight up freaks Chef out.

Now we get downright scary: we try to scare Rose straight with the straight dope on DRUGS. We start with all the legal or readily available ones.

For an SOS segue, we learn why Friday the 13th is a thing in our popular culture. It's a cool story, with a spooky vibe just right for the season.

A micro 86ed has Chef trending and he won't shut up about it.
Luckily his jokes are OK.

We finish our harrowing DarED episode with the harder drugs. Chef has an astonishignly frank discussion about mushrooms in particular.

Seasonal tip outs round out a crazy ride. We're. . . . we're the ones who do this and we're still not sure what the hell we're doing. It's fun though.
