#288 Bryce Mitchell is NOT Crazy

The After Show But Later

This episode marks a major shift for The After Show But Later—it’s the first one since El Cucuy’s departure, and that means things are going to look and feel very different moving forward. With Daniel now flying solo, the dynamic of the show has completely changed. Gone are the back-and-forth debates, the quick-witted banter, and the contrasting perspectives that came with having two hosts. Instead, the show is taking on a monologue-style format, which means Daniel is steering the ship alone. This is a big adjustment—not just for the host, but for longtime listeners who were used to the chemistry and interplay between two voices. Moving forward, The After Show But Later will have to evolve. Without the natural conversation and reactions that come with a co-host, Daniel will need to find new ways to keep the energy up, engage the audience, and make the show flow smoothly. Will it be more structured? More personal? More interactive with listeners? These are the questions that will shape the show’s future. Schulz is back with a new special, but I’m not feeling the direction he took with this one. Instead of sticking to a traditional stand-up format, he switched things up—and not for the better (in my opinion). We break down what changed, why it didn’t hit the same, and whether this experiment was a win or a miss. Producer Jess leaves the Have Kids They Said Podcast. People must grow and it was her time. Bryce Mitchell has always been known for his outspoken personality, but ever since that brutal knockout loss to Josh Emmett, his behavior seems to have taken a turn for the extreme. In the past, he was eccentric, sure—but now, he’s been going off the rails, saying things that are more unhinged than usual. It raises the question: could this be a sign of potential brain trauma? Fighters taking heavy damage, especially knockouts like the one Emmett delivered, can sometimes exhibit changes in behavior, personality, or speech patterns. It’s something we’ve seen before in combat sports, where repeated head trauma can lead to long-term issues like CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy).Of course, this is all speculation, but the timing is hard to ignore. Bryce has always been a wild character, but if his recent statements are any indication, something might be off. Whether it’s a reaction to his loss, a shift in his mindset, or something more serious, it’s definitely worth paying attention to.
