Stand Up Scuttlebutt

It's like "The Man Show" but they identify as a Dudes. America's Favorite Seaman , Lt. Tom Struble, U.S. Navy (E198) sits in for Liz and calls out "Things that piss me off!"

Get ready to debate along with the hosts in another episode that asks the essential question, Am I the asshole? Tune in Moms because there might be a teachable moment here for you.

Liz had to do Mom things on Mother's Day due to appropriately designated gender roles, and Rick comes back from The Great Canadian...

Remember getting the Yellow Pages to call the grocery store and asking, "Do you have Chef Boyardee in a can?" And then hilarity ensued when you then told them, "You better let him out before he suffocates!" Those were some good times in the 80s. Well, a guy just pulled off perhaps the biggest "OH NO YOU DIDN'T!" prank call ever that left a quarterback "yelling into his receiver." But first! It see...

Rick does a one-on-one with his neighbor, friend, and mentor Kathe Farris. They have no particular agenda; Rick tries to find themes like following your passion, pursuing dreams, and learning lessons from failure but Kathe wasn't interested in being put on a pedestal.

Imagine telling the middle school your 11-year old will NOT be taking a survey about their sexual behavior and they give you that guarantee only to make the kid take it anyway.

Imagine buying a seat on a flight and a kid is sitting there. Kid has to go right? Well, not according to the kid's mom or the skank who videotaped you in the seat for the entire flight while verbally harassing you. What to do? You sue the airline, the mom, and the skank! But first, Evan is sitting on a Jury in the same courthouse where the Karen Read trial is being held. He can't talk about the d...

This week's...

Whoah, late episode drop here. Sorry. Ok, Let's talk about people who take a good idea and then go all in. And then they want you to comply with them. And then they publicly shame you when you don't. We're talking about a mom on the sidelines of youth sports!

This episode continues the "welcome back from break" vibe as Liz returns with some great stories she found online.

Here's a little curation of curios stories we've prepared for your enjoyment. The gang kicks things off with a tone-setting story about a fart. If you're new to the show and think we are low brow, would you rather we discuss the laws of thermodynamics?

Rick goes off on technology sounding like he was born about 100 years later than he should have. Then Liz has an update to the update about the sledding hill shutdown in Wellesley, MA and Evan isn't interested in the justification. And, two weeks into Evan's quest to lose 30 pounds, he only has 30 pounds to go! Keep it up champ! In the second half, we learn about a kid who turns down an offer for...

This week, the gang reads some emails they've received lately. They're good because they present accountability, critical thinking, and a desire for higher standards.

Evan's business is growing, and Rick learned how to read a crowd last weekend opening for Kevin Farley.

Rick says the Pacific Coast Highway from San Fransisco to San Diego is a great road trip. Then, the group discusses the devastation wildfires have brought to LA.

Happy New Year! It's going to be great! Really! The gang stays on brand in the new year with a sophomoric start to the show discussing bodily fluids.

Then Rick and Liz go toe-to-toe with conflicting fashion advice. Who's advice wi...

He also overcame prostate cancer and addiction, and from that comes some of his most important work. When he's not killing it on stage, he's in the schools and around the communities to talk about substance abuse. Other times, he's talking to patients or f...

Drones are everywhere! And we're not talking about your department store toy version. Oh no! These drones are big and abundant and are not good at disclosing to the public their intentions. But don't worry because the Government clearly has everything under control and there is nothing to see here. Who or what is behind these drones? Rick thinks it's China. Evan thinks it's Iran. Liz just wants th...

Mike "The Minister of Misinformation from Mesa" brings the Southwestern heat down upon the co-hosts for flagrant lies, misinformation, and fake news! Liz reads through the line-item list of offenses in the past month and it basically takes up the whole episode.

Why do an average 75% of graduating class members NOT attend their high school reunion? Maybe it's nerves, maybe it's just a scheduling conflict, or maybe they don't want to bump into the teacher they slept with Senior year.

Short on time and forgot to pack your cock ring for the business trip? Fear not! CVS has you covered. Cock rings! Dildos! Butt plugs! Stuff that vibrates! It's all there! Some people think it's a little much to have on the shelves at your local pharmacy while others applaud the move. The whole show sorta has the "sex toy"vibe. What does that mean? We don't know, we just made the term up now. But,...
