G.O.A.T. episode here. What starts as a usual This Is Your Aftershow—with Claire Favret & Meaghan Strickland joining me to unpack Oscar Sanchez's episode of This Is Your Afterlife—becomes something entirely new to the "This Is Your" Universe when Oscar surprises Meaghan & Claire halfway through by JOINING US.
With and without Oscar, we touch on topics such as:
- how misguided, confusing, and ridiculous this show is
- the necessity of hope
- birthday cake smashing
- band-aid solutions to systemic problems
- race jokes (Oscar and I make them)
- anxiety attacks
- the possibility of clout organizers being secretly useful actors
Plus, Oscar reads a couple of his poems!
This is the longest single episode of either show ("Afterlife" or "Aftershow") I've ever published on the main feed, with the longest intro I've ever done, and it's the episode I'm proudest of producing in a year and a half of making this show. I hope everyone who would like what this is listens to the whole episode. I feel like this show is becoming something different, something even more special: a world.
If you can, please join the show's Patreon at patreon.com/davemaher to make possible my dream of making this show my living. You'll get all episodes of This Is Your Aftershow, the extended episodes of This Is Your Afterlife, and more!
