Favoriting February 12, 2014: #10 - Get the Message

Today on the show, we're trying so hard to get the message. We hear a middle school memory from Greg Harrison about a grand gesture gone wrong. Our regular guest Randy is furious with me for calling him a liar in Episode 6, and lets me know I made him cry the first time since his salamander was stolen. And the lovely Lina Misitzis explains why, when a dude she's attracted to pays her attention, it can excuse so much bad behavior. She shares a series of drunk voicemails from a past hook-up gone wrong, and we call him, a year later, for the full story.

Wonder when the movies will play the 90s with a nostalgic vibe, like Donnie Darko with the 80s :o

Yeah...ZIGGY fucking sucks!!!

MISTER JOHNNY:

What bar was this?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:12pm
Matt from Springfield:

@hamburger: That's the thing about Gen-X and its self-aware snark--actual 90s movies are SO 90s, they ARE the nostalgic ones!

Singles, Reality Bites, Airheads, Office Space, etc
And the first Brady Bunch movie in '94--that was from the apex of the grunge movement, and almost captures that the same way it captures the Brady family in the middle of it!

To impart some of Fabio's vibe - The Failure of Randy

Matt from Springfield:

@Jake: It's a "period piece", and self-aware and a bit conceited about it. But it's a good film and story.

@hamburger: A 2010s movie about making a contemporary 1990s movie--during the 90s. Maybe portray the classic MTV.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:17pm
Matt from Springfield:

(and yes, for me mid 90s is the "classic" one. Some of you may still remember the 80s MTV before it!)

my dad got cable in the 80s the day before mtv 1st came on the air. my sister and i sat in front of snow on the tube until it came on. we didn't back away until 85. i loved the silent art and educational films that would come on randomly. and the same 10 videos. great shit.

@Matt from Springfield - Randy is opening for Don Mclean.

honest question Andrea:

Is this yet another show a la scharpling where we are bombarded with calls that are basically an act? Because if this guy is real it is not a good indicator of your self esteem.

Apparently Bubba Gumps doesn't serve Dr. Pepper--that kinda ruins it right off the bat...

So, I think the guy is just a horn-dog. And the reason he came so quickly & then made the pubs comment is because he’s… Oh… I don’t know… Some small dicked asshole?

Oh, he didn't come quickly! He just gave up on the sex because he didn't know how to deal.
  7:53pm
JakeGould:

Oh, that is even worse. Like 10 seconds & then he’s like a pube snot? Kinda worse.
  7:53pm
honest question Andrea:

Wow. The man children just get worse and worse. Why this woman would entertain anyone like this is just so… If I were your older brother I would gladly beat this little shit to death. No spoilers but change the number or consider a harassment suit. Order of protection would be a tough call.
  7:53pm
JakeGould:

“Aww BURN! ZING!” Yeah, that’s exactly what a car burning & exploding sounds like.
  7:55pm
No Patience for Randy:

Ok:
Sending Peg back to her own cubicle
Listening to the show "in the condo's weight room"

Andrea: I DID hear from a listener who was on a Bolt Bus when the driver pulled over, but that was because the passenger was bothering the driver to "speed up", Randy: that was me too, because we were late

Also watched "Last Tango in Paris" in public, though it was a musical

"I have in front of me a letter from Tulane, "April" graduated Tulane, GPA 2.4" (!)
Andrea: "they don't give out that private info..." Randy: "I told them I was her father and she died"

"I'm a gangsta, woman!"
"You're on the streets of Maryland now, not the gold-plated streets of NYC"

Threatens Andrea because shes "going into dangerous territory", wouldn't hurt anybody but "I have friends that would"

List of songs for making love to includes Simpson's Movie, Schindler's List etc.

"I cried last night for the first time last night, since my pet salamander died"

"You are a simple-minded piece of cream cheese"

Keeps a 'Do-It Log"

Has a regular table at Bubba Gump's

Randy: It takes a big woman to admit she's wrong". Andrea: "...but I'm not a "big woman" Randy:"You're not small!"

Creating a new comic strip, "its a male version of Cathy, it's called New Millenium Blues"

...and so much more! This sounds more than ever like a bit scripted by a comedian. It's like a Wurster routine, down to the hot-headed threats over the phone and a co-worker in the next cubicle nick-named "The Wildebeast"
Also: would he really have to listen to Andrea's show "on a CD my friend burned and gave me". Wouldn't he be able to find it on the web? Wouldn't a narcissist like Randy, described by Andrea as "loving all the attention" from her and a TV crew (?!) have listened to every show he's on, every week, also maybe read the Comments, and had something to say about those, instead of waiting for this CD burn, casually listening while working out, and getting indignant just because Andrea mentioned she was skeptical about some of his stories?
  7:56pm
honest question Andrea:

You are sorry for this guy and his masochistic tendencies. His sense of rejection? Sorry. The boy is simply scum with a future on a liver transplant list. Lets hope the frat bros turn him down.
  7:57pm
