what r u up 2?

This week on What Are You Up To? with Richard & Stan (after a long, unplanned hiatus): Graduating college in your 30s, getting a little nip-tuck action, Richard’s gross story about his intestines and male childbirth, Stan comes out about his recent life-pivot and unexpected move, starting a church, Jesus the Wine Man, Licorice after 40, Black vs. Brown Jelly Beans, Hot Christmas / Stan is bad with fractions, the Clinton-Trump “debate,” Richard schools Stan on SCOTUS nominees and potentials like Peter Thiel, the new “Apprentice” show, Richard’s new TV favorites (“Finding Prince Charming” and “Unreal”), working in “the industry,” STAN IS STREAMING IN AUSTRALIA, and escaped slave communities uncovered in the dismal swamp.

This week Richard and Stan talk about election season (surprised?), what made Richard cancel his NYTimes subscription; negligence vs. corruption; ABC and BBC; whether education makes people more liberal (where are all our educated conservatives? seriously—call/write in); Facebook trolling (the saga never ends); the “NPR black republican gay Trump high schooler”; DO I SOUND GAY? (the documentary); codeswitching, gayface, and how Richard hates fashion; how all gay slurs were slurs against women first (even f*gg*t); Kathy Baldock’s book Walking the Bridgeless Canyon; how all words come from Greek (and Richard runs to get some Windex); how Stan needs someone to introduce him to Bridget Jones; and then… someone knocks on Richard’s door… and we fear he may have been #Taken.

This week, Richard and Stan talk about airline seats, Stan's inner Golden Girl, "Sticky Beaks", RSVP tardiness, The Museum of Sex, impaled feet, vasovagal response, manspreading, style benefits of old-man velcro boots, and the Republican Party's inability to embrace streaming for their debates.

This week, Richard and Stan talk about the Democratic Party Primary Debate, proper firearm lubrication, seeing porn stars in real life, and the Golden Girls.
