Is that a real marching song?
  7:16pm
Wow:

Andy Breckman can sometimes leave me liking him more than I did before, or about the same, but Randy never fails to deliver.

Of _course_ he prefers the sappy, stupidly manipulative, simplistic TV "M*A*S*H" to Robert Altman's masterwork; of course he thinks he has a Heaven-mandated 'purpose', of course he calls artificial respiration 'some dude kissing me', of course he thinks you need forgiveness and will tell you how wonderful he is for giving it to you. Of course he deprecates a woman good enough to give him oral sex, and doesn't think a fraudulently-obtained discharge 'getting kicked-out of the Army'...of course he cares how old he and others were when they ceased being virgins.

He never fails.

P-90:

I just confirmed with a physician who is an expert on pharmaceutical drugs and street drugs (and teaches at a big-city hospital) that bootleg Quaaludes haven't been seen anywhere outside of South Africa for many years. So whatever Randy was or wasn't high on when he made this call, Quaaludes it ain't.

it's like imagining what holden caulfield looks like. randy is a fictional character.

Studio B Ben:

What's the use in making Randy so, so, so, so, so repugnant?
  7:25pm
P-90:

Marmalade Kitty has a point. Even if this Randy routine is funny at times, hasn't it gone way beyond having any relevance in a show that's about dating and relationships?
FYI: I wasn't sure what a big "D" is either.

Even when he started to explain it as a "dump", it took me a while to figure out he'd made a duty. The verb "pitch" threw me.

The Yiddish part of me values honesty. The kind of honesty that just tells it like it is. So with Randy, P-90, Marmalade Kitty & others. Randy’s schtick is wearing thin. There’s no depth to this guy fake or real. Respect Andrea’s show when it’s non-Randy. That is all.

Studio B Ben:

I'm just still sort of asking what the end game of this is. I think the thing that gets me the most is how she puts up with him. Someone *this* repulsive should have been shut off hours ago. There's nothing causing him to learn or change, and there's no lesson in indulging him.

Edward - I second your opinion. This guy....

I work at a hospital and have a feeling the Randy Dandy character would be very well received by patients.
  7:34pm
Peanut:

I have faith in this show, it's still in its infancy.
  7:37pm
P-90:

@dale, cosmic matrix, Robert, jeff, etc.: We're all listening. "Randy" isn't hurting the show's numbers, he's probably helping them a little. it's an axiom in media that "negative appeal" is still appeal. Even if you're tuning in to dislike Randy's act, to figure out how he could possibly be for real when he sounds so much like a by-the-numbers contrivance, you're still tuning in, you're engaged.
"...she choked on a cheese stick and died" --Oh brother.
Any way, imagine the attention Y O Y will get when it has the Big Reveal Special where Randy's identity will be revealed?

Small point, not really worth mentioning, but...
most podcasts, as a rule, don't require or have an "engineer"...
They're recorded direct-to-hard drive and then uploaded to the net. Whatever

I just signed up on WFMU to post this comment, love this show, but I can't stand Randy. I'm sure there's fans out there, but I can't stand his misogyny and lies. Seriously, I feel like this show has lost all of its focus, and it makes me really sad.
  2:27am
Bye:

by 7.01 it's official. Randy is a fake. And tedious or worse boring. The chill pill device. And the 6 stepbrothers back story- better to embellish new R episodes. Figured that the book deal last wk probably made R a fake but this week, the end... it is a bad art gig- for us. P-90 and Jake Gould I agree but can't hang in anymore. Bon voyage YoYers. End of show for me...though if I feel sad I might look for a Gramma Phylis episode. For good company I will go to Hearty White archive. & other FMU shows because it is only FMU for me.
