A big pet peeve for Arman is when people say to him that they can't go out anymore because they're too old. Are you really too old or are there just other things in life stopping you from doing it. Maybe you're actually an introvert and don't like clubbing (thats fine). Maybe you have kids and other responsiblities, so a night out is out of the question (that's definitely understandable). Just don't give us the old "I'm a grandma, I can't keep up with you kids" when you're only a few months older than us lol. The boys go over this excuse that's been showing up with their generation more and more lately. Is it because Millenials ARE getting older or is it because of something else?Season 3 is on video!

We don't have a episode today because after much discussion, Richard and Arman have decided to postpone Season 2 due to the COVID-19 situation. We are going to set a good example by practicing social distancing to keep each other and each other's families and loved ones safe. It was a tough decision but we felt that it was the right one.

As of 3/20/20, the state the boys live in, California, has been put on lockdown. Only essential reasons are okay for everyone to leave their homes.

The boys are shooting the shit for the third time and the focus of this one was their hometowns and the place they grew up. South San Francisco for Arman and San Jose for Richard. Both being bay area born, Arman and Richard did spend most of their lives in Sacramento however so there is always a battle in themselves about where they're really from and if they can actually claim the bay area. They discuss the what they thought when they first moved to Sacramento and how the move affected their lives.Season 2 is now in video format!

The topic of Race is never really easy to talk about. Things can be taken the wrong way and people can get offended easily. It needs to be talked about and especially the relations between two different cultures. In this episode of Y'all Ready For Drinks, we bring in two good friends of ours, Sunni and King, to discuss the relations between Asian and Black people. Whether its interracial dating, the history of the two races, or even the similarities and differences of each others struggle.Season 2 is now in video format!

Coming Out to Family and Friends is probably one of the hardest things to do in life. In this episode of Y'all Ready For Drinks, Arman and Richard interview Arman's cousin J-anne and her wife Jenn about their experiences coming out to their family and friends. The podcast was founded on sharing experiences that could be helpful to the listener and we hoped that with these two awesome women sharing their story, it could help anyone else that is having trouble coming out to their loved ones. Season 2 has a focus of wanting to show more deeper and hard hitting experiences that people in their late teens and twenties may be facing and this situation is definitely one of them.Season 2 is now in video format!

Arman here...Soooo every year there's two ways I approach this holiday. I'm either positive about it or I fucking hate it haha. In this episode of Y'all Ready for Drinks, you'll hear exactly why I tend to go back and forth on it and how it annoys Richard haha. It's not really a full rant about the holiday but there's some pieces like that in there.  If you want to catch up more with Arman and Richard be sure to follow the Y'all Ready For Drinks Podcast IG account: @yallreadyfordrinks.

We actually weren't planning on talking about this topic for a while. This was always on the list but we didn't want to do it this earlier because weren't sure if y'all were ready to listen yet. In light of recent events, we really wanted to talk about it though so we scheduled an emergency recording. Death is never an easy subject to talk about but it's something that needs to be heard because a lot of people feel like they're suffering alone. Well you're not. We're right there with you. Whether its a celebrity death like Kobe Bryant or a death of a loved one, we know how that feels. We hope anyone that listens to this can find comfort. We certainly felt better afterwards.  Season 2 is now in video format! If you want to watch us while listening to us ramble, head over to youtube.com/ItsArmanLopez!

WE ARE BACK FOR SEASON 2 BABY! Welcome back to the Y'all Ready For Drinks Podcast with your co-hosts Richard Socias and Arman Lopez. Before we get to the topic, we wanted to annouce that Season 2 is the start of our podcast going on video!! If you want to watch us while we're talking, head over to youtube.com/ItsArmanLopez!We are starting off season 2 with a small catch up with our boys and a topic that has been discussed at their jobs but you don't hear about it much at all because of all this TOXIC MASCULINITY. While a Woman's struggle is probably tougher, Men struggle just as well and the boys give their takes on how society is changing masculinity and how its affecting America's young male minds.  If you want to catch up more with Arman and Richard be sure to follow the Y'all Ready For Drinks Podcast IG account: @yallreadyfordrinks. Also Arman and Richard have their own personal accounts as well: @ItsArmanLopez and @The.Richard. 

Its the SEASON 1 FINALE YALL! With 2019 ending as well as the 2010 decade and Season 1, Arman and Richard reflect over the past few months, years, and decade. We go over favorite moments, things we were proud of, new years resolutions, and plans for the future. 

Since people really dug the first Shooting the Shit episode, we decided to bring it back one more time for this season and just spoke about what was on our minds. The following topics are more personal and give a real look into how the conversations were like before we had this podcast. Enjoy! 

A question for the ages. Should you work towards a career that's your passion or work towards one that gives the most money? In the Asian American community, we've been told since kids to chase the money or at least thats what it used to be. Maybe its changing now. Today Arman and Richard talk about the career portion of Yappies and whether there really is a right and wrong answer to this difficult question. 

We grew up during the social media explosion. From Xanga to myspace, friendster, facebook, AIM, and many more; social media has been a big part of our lives. Arman and Richard go over the pros and cons of being this connected to everyone in the world and whether we should take a break from it or not. Also Richard goes on a small rant about selfies haha. 

The guys and Pearl continue talking about dating from different perspectives. With the original episode being nearly two hours long, we split it into 2 parts for your enjoyment. So here is PART 2 of the Dating Episode!!

The guys are talking about dating from different perspectives so what better way than to add the first female guest to the podcast! Pearl is a longtime friend and a very early supporter of the podcast before it was even made public. With Richard being in a long term relationship and Arman being single, they figured that a female perspective would be a great way to see dating through a different filter. Hope you guys enjoy PART ONE of the episode...Yes the episode ended up nearly being two hours so we split it up! Enjoy! 

The guys brought in their very first guest today, an old friend, Robin Benardino. Rob has always been a supporter of the podcast alongside any other projects the guys have been working on as well as always being down to enjoy drinking the night away. So all three go over some of their worst night drinking and other plentiful stories. Y'all kept asking where the drinks at, here they are! 

With the fall semester half way done, Richard and Arman discuss their college experiences and how it differed from what they were taught/told when they were younger. They go over why they went to college, should the education system even work like this, and the stigma of graduating late and not even graduating at all. Just a small touch of what they experienced ever since leaving high school. 

We didn't really have a topic planned this week. So we just shot the shit haha. Enjoy this random talk about strippers lol. 

Halloween is right around the corner and the guys decided to discuss why one loves this time of year so much while the other despises it. Can you guess which one is which? 

With it being Filipino History Month, the guys discuss their experiences being Filipino in America. Well, actually its more like being Filipino in Daly City and Elk Grove, CA but you get the point. You don't have to be Filipino to relate to this episode and you will definitely learn some fun facts so you can impress that special Pinay/Pinoy someday!

Whether you're successful like Richard or just have plain bad luck like Arman, asking someone out is tough. It's like popping the question but smaller. Dare we call it, the Mini Question? Richard and Arman talk through the difficulties of asking someone out whether you were in high school or it was just a few weeks ago. The bitch butterflies always make their presence known. 

The first question that people asked when we first told them about the podcast is why this name and what is it about? Well in this episode, we'll give you guys an introduction to Arman and Richard, two fungis who are just trying to tell their stories. 

I hope Y'all are Ready for this teaser AND SEASON ONE of the Y'all Ready For Drinks Podcast! This is justa snippet of what you'll be hearing throughout the course of season 1. If you can dig it, grab a drink and listen in! See you guys there!
