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 test prep, in this section we literally walk (sometimes run) through what to expect the day of.

11:42
A second Social Studies segment. This time, we look at one aspect of education that is stress-testing the very idea of public school as we've known it for decades: AI.
We go granular here, with a story from Rose's friend who was wrongly accused of using AI to write her end of year paper, whilst her friends who actually used AI got away scot free. She had to redo her paper under 1 to 1 supervision like Hannibal Lecter while her AI using friends were already done for the year.

18:01
Chef triples down on the tip out.
Odd Pieces Puzzles is our first. Best Puzzles Ever. Malaysian American owned. LOVE LOVE LOVE Odd Pieces. Rose chimes in with Learn SAT Math, a great Youtube test prep channel.
Got chef thinking about Goofy Chess and Chess with Durks: two more great Youtube style content producers who make amazing chess vids.

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 all worth it.

Know that whatever happens, you're loved. Stay safe y'all. Go enjoy the day. Life is short.
Ask that person out finally. Buy that eBike. Pick a flower, give it to a hottie. Love while you can.

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 Tulips.

24:15
The Quote Game
We debut a new segment: guess the quote! Was it a Tulip Bro or a Tech Bro?

26:51
SOS
Johor Boleh
The Dutch empire hits home: we talk about where the Dutch empire overlapped with our family history in Malaysia, how that empire ended, and what parallels there are to today's society. We also talk about how badass Johor is, and talk the origin stories for Melaka.

Next up: spring themed movies. Thanks for tuning in for Season 2!

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 evident in Chef's behavior during this ep. He's equal parts Hunter S Thompson and Ron Burgundy.

A super sized intro has us talking about Season 1 in general, what's to come in Season 2, and it shows what it's like surviving 2025.

23:30
ReviewEd
We finally finish Who Cooked the Last Supper!! Much like 2025, it was a wild ride.
It's a hell of a book and also a frustrating book. We're glad we read it.

We also shoehorn in some other segments, it kinda got wild. Chef took tons of edibles and drank like ten drinks during this session, so. . . . . . good luck to us all. 2025 in a nutshell.

See y'all for Season 2 soon! New format for Season 2, with shorter, quicker episodes, and more comedy, less education. It's a gap year after all.

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 One Finale, and then Season Two will have new format. Stay tuned. We're really excited.

1:30
Oui Oui
After the shortest intro ever, bam: The Tik Tok ban. Chef and Rose bring different takes to the ban that would never be, until it was, and then immediately wasn't (?????).

23:08
Now Geo
We circle back to the diversity of South Korea. We're both surprised, and we both have to go.

29:17
ReviewEd
We finish up our Holiday Binge Reviews with quite the selection. Climax fucked us both up. What a movie. There were some hits and misses after that. More feces than either of us expected.

49:55
NowGeo / SOS
Chef corrects the record on the French always losing, and points out that they amassed a bigger empire than the US ever did. Cue the tweets.

56:43
SOS
We've been getting requests for serious Homeschool info from parents' perspective. Chef breaks down some of the daunting barriers to homeschool.

1:04.09
NowGeo
Getting Rose psyched for her trip to France this year Chef talks about French geography, and highlights some of the different regions of France worth a visit.

1:11.07
SchedulEd
Rose walks us through the last semester of her senior year, which his head-spinningly busy.
Remember y'all, the Senior Year above all other years is the example of the progressive homeschool ideology that most of the best lessons take place outside of the home, out in the field or volunteering etc. And like Chef has been saying for years, Rose is certainly out there.

1:27.26
TipOut
After a brief detour into the world of professional Rock Paper Scissors, because Chef in a divergent maniac, we're back on track; Rose would have us read, and Chef would concur with a specific Carl Hiassen ammendment.

Much Love y'all. Season one has been a blast. See you for the finale!

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 Chef only to hang up on him. What did Chef say to piss of that owl so much she had to hang up? Tune in to find out.

20:48
ReviewEd
Back to normal programming: a ReviewEd buffet. It's been an origami and binging holiday, and we watched a lot. From White Lotus to Black Dove, 3:10 to Yuma to Bonesaw, Lucky Logan to Queenpins, we have notes. It's a quick mini review of each one.

51:02
PoddEd
Rose gave Chef a tip so good, he has to pass it on. Learn y'all, learn.

54:23
ReviewEd Rose Special Edition
In a segment so good, we have to make it a tradition, Rose does her 10 Ins & 10 Outs for 2025. She's got some bangers. Chef agrees, then gets jealous and does his own on the fly.

1:15.47
Koan Koan Git
In an awesome Education Moment, Chef starts a Koan only for Rose to recognize it less than one line in. Not only does she know it, she just told it the other day to a friend. Rose takes over the tale, nails it, and we talk about what turns out to be a mutual favorite Koan. Cross the River with us. We promise to set you down.

1:20.23
CancelEd
We bring back an AfterschoolEd fan favorite and check in one a couple big '24 "Cancellations".
Trump, Rowling, Roiland, and more, we talk about what they did, and if they were cancelled- surprising year, surprising results.

1:38.05
Tip Out
Chef has a lazy, bucolic, beautiful tip for the peak of SADS and cold season: a great way to relax in the Reels or YouTube rabbitholes.
Rose came in fiery for her best Tip Out yet. She's getting ready for a year of huge travels so the travel vids and travel crew she found are perfect.

Stay out of the Loop in 2025! Go float canals, or play a huge game of Tag with your friends. We love you! Approaching 1k downloads!!!!! Thanks to South Asia- the region downloadind them most of this content. We love you guys too.
Hug your famly, much love from Rose and Chef.

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 AfterschoolEd's new rating system with a rapidfire ReviewEd session: from the X Triology to Starsky & Hutch, from Person of Interest to Smile 2, we saw a lot recently and we have notes.

17:55
TinklEd
In a mini Oui Oui we talk about the fallout from Barry's breakup with Sabrina. Chef knows more than you'd have thought. The internet also still needs to chill.

31:17
Oui Oui
In the main Oui Oui, Chef learns why Gen Alpha is looking forward to knee surgery.

40:53
Koan Koan
We dive right into what is very much not surprisingly one of Chef's favority Koans. It involves very sharp knives, sudden and unwarranted violence, and outright misanthropy. Of course he loves it.

44:55
BackGroundEd
Christmas is maybe the #1 time of the year for background shows and movies to stream while your insane Uncle raves about 5G causing frogs to be gay. In honor of Huannakah, we each name our Eight Flicks of the Season: the best content for holiday streaming with the friends and fam.

1:01.28
Oui Oui
Chef takes over the Oui Oui stream, and we get soaked in Proud Boy cereal milk.

1:12.52
SOS
We dip our toe back into Who Cooked the Last Supper with a quick history lesson of a Queen who's been whitewashed and genderwashed from history. A true Queen. A Leader on par with Alexander and a Queen who quite literally bested Cyrus: Thosyris.

1:21.30
Tip Out
Chef gets spooky with a crazy wild Tip Out, and Rose goes traditional with a Johnson family tradition that should be way way more widespread in the States.

Thanks for all the listens. 14 countries have tuned in. A few new reviews. Lots of good feedback. Thanks for joining us for the ride. Happy New Year!

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 (Pine, Hemworth, Pratt) pretty much wreck Chef.

25:27 ReviewEd

Since it has become one of our most popular segments, we take the time to establish a formal list of criteria.
We test out our newfound scale on a couple recent watches: Extraction II and A Quiet Place II.

31:52 YellowstonEd

Another update on the Fenn Treasure hunt. Spoiler alert: it begins again!

35:37 ReviewEd: Music of the Year Edition

In the first of the 2024 Year in Review segments, we review a few of the most popular albums of the year.

1.14:50 True or False, Black Friday Edition

Chef struggles to answer pretty basic questions about Black Fridayl.
No surprise there.

1.20:20 Mewing and JawMaxxing

So, Chef found about that Mewing is named after someone- the dude who "invented" it, and three days later he stopped laughing and we recorded some of his most recordable thoughts.

1.45:50 Tip Out

Chef has a Christmas movie that you can't say you've lived until you've watched it.
Rose counters with a very resonable NYT Games suggestion. Chef's already hooked.
