Casey, Chin, and the gang recount their chaotic journey—complete with a five-hour flight delay, airport bar hopping, and the challenges of setting up shop in an industrial space. Listeners get a candid look at the early days in Austin, from the struggle with auto-framing cameras to the excitement of discovering their Airbnb sits right on a nine-hole golf course. The team shares stories of late-night golf rounds, house hunting adventures, and the sticker shock of Texas real estate, all while navigating the quirks of their new environment.But it wouldn’t be After Hour without some friendly chaos. The episode dives into the infamous grappling matches that broke out among the hosts—who tapped, who didn’t, and who’s still sore from the impromptu jiu jitsu showdowns. There’s plenty of laughter and playful arguing as they debate everything from the best golf swings and basketball jump shots to the eternal question: where would a giraffe wear its tie? Fans also get a taste of Toronto slang, snack reviews, and reflections on their proudest professional moments. Whether you’re here for the behind-the-scenes banter, the inside jokes, or just to hear who got choked out this week, this episode captures the raw, unfiltered camaraderie that makes After Hour a must-listen.
