WANT MORE SCI GUYS?

After Dark is a show about curious questions and interesting tangents; just because a Sci Guys episode has ended, that doesn't mean the conversation has! In After Dark, Luke & Corry use science as a jumping off point to ponder the political, philosophical, and sometimes just plain pointless thoughts, queries, and implications that arise...

Bonus Episodes are the sillier counterpart to Sci Guys, every month Corry and Luke have an unfiltered & (almost) entirely unedited chat about a topic that's much too inane to be covered in a standard Sci Guys episode. If you love the jokes and funny little tangents more than the science, this is the show for you!
