    May 24 2023

    Well folks, this is it. The final episode of 3am in the Afternoon is here, and it is a doozy. We pulled out all the stops for this one: the longest ever episode, with a live audience, and getting kicked out for an econ final. What more could you ask for?

    Thanks for all your support as we journeyed through this year together. It's been real, and we hope you enjoy this final ride.

    - Nathan & Ryan

  • Ep. 48: Leading with Humility
    May 3 2023

    Welcome to the World's Best Podcast. It was Nathan's birthday last week, and he partied so hard he picked up a new addiction. Ryan took the blue pill and entered into the simulation. The high-end, low-cast purse simulation to be specific. The Lanky Boys also discuss graduation events and fence accidents, all while it's still light outside.

  • Ep. 47: The French Do Silk a Little Differently
    Apr 26 2023

    To help support the podcast, consider naming your next son Lankyboy. This week was a big week for Ryan as he went on tour giving of himself. His visiting the Transcontinental Railroad is very cathartic for Nathan, who has some related childhood trauma. In addition to working through that, Nathan enjoys some world-famous bubble chicken and witnesses history with the launch of SpaceX's Starship, which was a success. Like seriously, it was a success.

  • Ep. 46: Leaning into Sleeping
    Apr 19 2023

    Turn off the lights, get your blankets out, 'cause this episode will put you right to sleep (hopefully). This week, Nathan went back to Kansas City to watch his niece come into the Church while in the church. Back in Lincoln, Ryan threw a birthday party for some friends (or at least that's what he said) and began the hunt for an elusive on-time birthday present.

  • Ep. 45: Ratatouille Method Actor
    Apr 12 2023

    Happy Spring in Paris to those who celebrate! Crack open some chips and spicy mustard for a good time. This week, Nathan reminisces on his time in the peasant village, while Ryan tries to figure out what to do with all that money. Mo' money, mo' problems as they say, but Ryan's been mitigating by stoically removing himself from obligations. Meanwhile, Nathan's been going crazy a lot lately, but hey, it's probably just allergies.

  • Ep. 44: Sympathizing with Punxsutawney Phil
    Apr 5 2023

    Between the wind advisories and New York bracing for impact, it's looking like hurricane season came early this year. This week, Nathan recounts his latest basketball performance and sympathizes with Punxsutawney Phil. With a new promotion in the armed services, Ryan takes on new responsibilities planning events and whatnot. He's got a purpose, but he doesn't know what it is. Let's just hope he doesn't get put on the Secret Service, because that might end up being more of a demotion. Watch out for a special guest appearance from the sponsor of today's episode: Charlie Floeder!

  • Ep. 43: Broccoli Without the "B"
    Mar 29 2023

    If you think air traffic control looks fun, just wait till you see what they're up to at the DMV. This week, the Lanky Boys consult the scientific method and conduct some experimetns. Ryan participates as a control variable in a (seemingly flawed) social study, and tries out a new food (not fondue) that could have some harmful side effects with water. Meanwhile, Nathan opts into a peculiar type of chicken that might have had it's own side effects on his in-game performance.
