In Part 2 of The Underground Lounge After Hours, Holly, Spank, Sophia, & Tierra take things even further with more unfiltered conversations, wild stories, opinions, and moments you won’t see in the regular episodes.

No filters. No holding back. Just the crew kicking back and letting the conversation go wherever it wants.

Brian Hooks sits down with Lou Williams and the Underground Lounge for a conversation about comedy, Hollywood, independent filmmaking, and the career that made him a familiar face in some of the most memorable Black comedies and cult classics.

Hooks takes us through his journey from Bakersfield and studying to become a math teacher to becoming an actor, comedian, producer, and filmmaker. He opens up about Three Strikes, The Eve Show, Soul Plane, Nothing to Lose, including how independent movies changed the business and gave filmmakers a way to create opportunities outside the traditional Hollywood system.

Brian also talks about working with some of comedy’s biggest names, the difference between making movies and television, his experiences on network TV, the evolution of Black movies and urban comedy, working with Tubi, and why today’s filmmakers don’t have to wait for Hollywood to give them a shot. His advice is simple: build your own team, create your own content, and let the industry catch up.

Plus, Brian gets into stand-up comedy, fan reactions to his most recognizable characters, life outside of acting, and some hilarious stories along the way.

Part 2 of After Hours with therapist, author, and neuroscientist Christopher Johnson gets even more personal as the conversation moves into relationships, marriage, family, vulnerability, and the experiences that shape how we see ourselves.

Christopher breaks down the meaning of commitment and submission, the expectations people bring into relationships, and how creating a checklist for the perfect partner can sometimes become a trap. The conversation also gets real about dating, marriage after divorce, blending families, and the responsibility that comes with bringing someone into your life.

Christopher opens up about his own journey and the things he was searching for growing up, including the need for approval, the impact of not having his father present, and the different father figures who helped shape his idea of manhood. He also explains how those experiences ultimately influenced his desire to become someone others could look to for guidance and representation.

Actor, comedian, writer and Chicago native Lamorne Morris joins The Underground Lounge for a wide-ranging conversation about his journey from basketball and sketch comedy to becoming one of Hollywood’s most recognizable comedic actors.

Lamorne opens up about discovering acting in high school, getting his start in Chicago’s Second City comedy scene, landing his first major opportunity with BET, and how timing, preparation and a little luck helped shape his career. He also breaks down his experience joining New Girl and the improvisation that helped create some of the show’s most memorable moments.

The conversation also dives into Lamorne’s work in Spider-Man Noir, working alongside Nicolas Cage, the business decisions behind television cancellations, auditioning for major movie roles, and the unpredictable nature of Hollywood.

From comedy and acting to basketball, creativity, Hollywood auditions and the business behind entertainment, Lamorne Morris keeps it honest, funny and insightful in a conversation.

After Hours gets deep with therapist, author, and neuroscientist Christopher Johnson for an unfiltered conversation about the experiences that shape who we become and how those experiences follow us into adulthood.

Christopher breaks down how childhood experiences, heartbreak, rejection, bullying, abandonment, and other formative moments can create the emotional foundation we carry into relationships. The conversation explores insecurity, trust, male and female friendships, dating, vulnerability, and why people often respond to situations based on what they've experienced in the past rather than what is actually happening in the present.

The conversation also takes a deeper look at masculinity and emotional expression, including why anger can feel easier for men to express than sadness, why vulnerability is often misunderstood as weakness, and how learning to manage your emotions can change the way you move through life. Christopher shares his own journey into therapy and neuroscience, what led him to become an author, and why he believes therapy isn't simply about fixing what's wrong with you — it's also about understanding yourself, growing, and learning how to use what you've been through as part of your story.

Part 1 goes beneath the surface on relationships, mental health, emotional growth, and the things we don't always realize are influencing the way we think, love, communicate, and react.

Part 2 is available now exclusively on Patreon.

Former NBA point guard Jarrett Jack joins Lou and Spank in the Underground Lounge for a conversation about life after basketball, making the transition from player to coach, and what it really takes to succeed on the other side of the game.

Jack opens up about the challenges of walking away from a career that defined his entire adult life and how an opportunity introduced him to a new passion for coaching. He also breaks down what he learned from watching different coaches, why simply having NBA experience isn't enough to become a great coach, and the importance of learning the details of the game.

The conversation gets into coaching young NBA players, building relationships inside the locker room, earning respect from players, setting boundaries, film-room culture, and the difference between coaching through experience and actually understanding how to teach the game.

And of course, it wouldn't be the Lounge without the stories. Jack reflects on his NBA journey, playing for seven teams, his experiences as a veteran, and his early relationship with Draymond Green before the conversation takes plenty of unexpected turns.
