    #360 Cuba Gooding Jr. Called Rich Out!

    This week’s episode takes us through wild New York stories, Cuba Gooding Jr., Rich’s relationship with Spot, an airplane fart battle, flirting, old Covino & Rich memories, Candy Corn, football, and plenty of random side conversations that somehow turn into their own stories.The episode kicks off with Daniel and Luis catching up on the weekend before getting into some of the stories surrounding the latest Covino & Rich happenings. The New York trip becomes a major topic, including some absolutely ridiculous stories involving Cuba Gooding Jr., Handsome Gabe, Johnny Damon, and a guy named Mark whose night apparently got a little out of control.Speaking of Cuba Gooding Jr., things get especially interesting when the conversation turns to his interaction with Rich and Spot. Was Rich really blocking Spot? Cuba has his own very strong opinion on the situation, leading to one of the funniest descriptions of Rich we've heard: the infamous "Grade A block."And that's just the beginning.Daniel also shares one of his own blackout stories, leading to a discussion about drinking, passing out, and some of the questionable situations people have found themselves in. Meanwhile, Rich's airplane story takes things in a completely different direction when we hear about an apparent fart-off on a plane. Somehow, this becomes one of the most memorable stories of the episode.The guys also revisit the Mark Twain Diner, talk about Taylor Ham, and dig deeper into the Rich and Spot situation. Eventually, Rich admits that he was flirting with another woman, which opens the door to a whole new conversation involving Sarah and whether Rich may have gotten himself into some trouble.Later in the episode, Daniel and Luis travel down memory lane with some classic Covino & Rich stories, including CRC, Lena, longtime listeners, and people who have rediscovered the show over the years. There are also stories involving Wayne Brady, Rich's birthday, the Patreon community, and Daniel's attempts to get Tommy on the show — only to be left on read.The episode also touches on Greg, who apparently has no problem big-timing Covino & Rich, before the conversation shifts to one of the most important debates of the episode: Candy Corn. Is it actually good? Is it one of the worst Halloween candies ever created? Daniel, Luis, and the live audience weigh in.Toward the end, the conversation turns to football, including the Rams, their struggles, and the ongoing jokes surrounding their kicker. There's also plenty of random news, side conversations, live-chat interaction, shoutouts, and the kind of completely unexpected tangents that have become part of the show.And there's a little milestone to celebrate: Episode 360 means the show is only five episodes away from having an episode for every day of a year.Whether you're here for Covino & Rich, Cuba Gooding Jr., Spot, the New York stories, the ridiculous side conversations, or just the chaos that happens when Daniel and Luis start talking, there's plenty to unpack in Episode 360.03:20 – The Quinceañera Stories Come Out07:40 – Covino & Rich’s Wild New York Trip08:33 – Cuba Gooding Jr. Meets Handsome Gabe09:43 – Who Is “Mark”?11:46 – Daniel’s Blackout Story13:11 – Have You Ever Passed Out Drunk?16:18 – Rich’s Airplane Fart-Off18:23 – The Mark Twain Diner & Taylor Ham20:19 – Was Rich Blocking Spot?20:44 – Cuba Gooding Jr. Calls Rich a “Grade A Block”22:43 – Rich Admits He Was Flirting28:41 – The Lena Story & CRC Memories30:24 – Longtime Listeners & Finding the Show Again32:30 – Why Did Cuba Gooding Jr. Tell Covino to F*** Off?36:29 – Rich’s Birthday & The Patreon Connection38:13 – Did Tommy Hot Chick Us?39:47 – Greg Big-Times Covino & Rich40:38 – The Great Candy Corn Debate54:12 – Crazy News & Wild Animal Stories56:00 – The Rams’ “Thicker Kicker”58:35 – Shoutouts & Episode 360 Wrap-Up

    #357 Covino & Rich, Zooey Deschanel & the Stories We Never Forgot

    Daniel and Luis Cortez Jr. are back breaking down another collection of stories, conversations, and observations surrounding Covino & Rich, with plenty of laughs, nostalgia, and some surprisingly serious discussions along the way.This episode kicks off with some of the memorable stories and moments associated with the Covino & Rich universe, including Howard Stern's infamous air launcher story and some of the bizarre stories that have become part of the show's history. The guys also get into Rich's Behind the Velvet Rope, what goes on around Rich's home, and the possibility of Covino and Rich actually becoming neighbors.From there, the conversation takes a turn toward old-school urban legends and stories that many of us remember hearing when we were younger. The Lizzie Borden story brings back memories of the late '90s and the way certain stories, songs, and pieces of pop culture could stick with you for years. The guys also discuss the Netflix documentary treatment of the Lizzie Borden case and other documentaries they've recently watched.The documentary discussion continues with Raygun and Mr. T. The guys talk about Raygun's background in break dancing and the surprising details surrounding her life outside of dancing, before moving into the story of Mr. T and how he developed the persona and name that eventually made him famous.The conversation then moves into television and movies, including New Girl, Zooey Deschanel, and Yes Man. As always, the discussion jumps between topics in the way you would expect from The After Show But Later — one subject leads to another, and suddenly the guys are talking about something completely different.One of the biggest conversations of the episode centers around work-life balance and the different approaches to work taken by Covino, Rich, and Spot. Daniel and Luis discuss what it might actually be like to work with each of them, how different personalities approach their jobs, and the amount of work that happens behind the scenes to keep a show running.That leads into a closer look at Spot's role behind the scenes and just how much work goes into everything that listeners and viewers may never see. From preparing things before the show to handling logistics and keeping everything moving, the guys talk about why the behind-the-scenes work deserves more recognition.The episode eventually takes a more nostalgic turn as Daniel and Luis talk about the things that can still make you feel like a kid. Collecting cards, opening packages, pizza parties, airplane takeoffs, family gatherings, and childhood memories all make their way into the conversation. They also share memories about growing up with family and cousins, including the names and nicknames that can instantly take you back to being a kid.Toward the end of the episode, Luis talks about his upcoming trip to Buffalo and Niagara Falls, including plans to see Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age. The guys then wrap things up by thanking everyone who watches, listens, joins the live streams, and supports The After Show But Later.Chapters0:00 The After Show But Later — Episode 3570:40 Luis Recaps His Weekend3:20 Howard Stern's Air Launcher Story5:40 The Fart Stories We Associate With Covino8:30 Rich's Behind the Velvet Rope12:00 Rich's Yard, Neighbor's Wall & the House Next Door15:00 Should Covino and Rich Become Neighbors?18:45 Does Rich Actually Read Articles?20:00 Old-School Urban Legends24:45 Lizzie Borden and the Song We Remember27:20 Netflix's Lizzie Borden Documentary28:40 Raygun & Mr. T Documentaries30:30 New Girl, Zoe Deschanel & Yes Man34:55 The Covino & Rich Work-Life Balance Debate41:50 Who Would You Want to Work For?48:00 What Really Goes Into Making the Show?55:20 What Still Makes You Feel Like a Kid?58:00 Family, Cousins & Childhood Memories1:00:55 Wrapping Up Episode 3571:02:00 Patreon, Social Media & Shout-Outs
