Favoriting March 26, 2014: #17 - Please Touch This

What happens when strangers enter our lives. I call up my favorite stranger-turned-friend Randy while he's on Spring Break in Panama Beach. He needs my help, and it's going to ruin my Google search history. And my friend Emile sent over a conversation with his friend Jesse about a puzzling OK Cupid date.

So go watch that instead of complaining?

I love the idea that Randy is staying at the Fuckview Motel.

The redneck riviera!

Seriously, even when I was in college in Florida, I stayed far away Panama City, and any beaches during Spring Break.

Now glenn's comment makes no sense (or Callieflower).

Greenland must be pretty close to halfway around the world from Malaysia. Well beyond the range of a 777.

Does anyone study military stuff? How wrong is Randy here?

Were @lrmayer @danblondell the adorable couple where the guy said you call 911 for police?

Yes, that's them. They are SOOO funny. Everyone has to follow them.

randy's part sounds like wurster wrote it. even my wife thinks this is phoney

I turned Randy into a ringtone for you guys -- here's the MP3 version blogfiles.wfmu.org...
Avatar 7:13pm
sc123:

I did. They are GOLD and make you feel warm and fuzzy and generally hopeful about relationships. They are the kind of couple you want your relationship to become.

Oh my gosh, Andrea! Now to figure out who to punish by making the tone go off when they call
Avatar 7:14pm
Studio B Ben:

Okay, this isn't very respectful to sex workers. Assuming they are rife with diseases, even 'low end' ones, is kind of weird for this program, so I have to assume Andrea didn't write this part. The latest Savage Lovecast roundtable with sex workers should help provide some more information.

Does Randy not know how to call the operator or 411?
  7:15pm
ADL:

I just love the idea that everything being bleeped out is Randy saying "cock" or "fuck."

This really sounds like ammo for the Randy Is Fake camp.

Ken From Hyde Park:

You think Randy listens to Joe Frank for ideas?

Why would you even talk to this sleazebag? He's a horrible person.

a 'player' is not this dumb. THIS IS FAKE PEOPLE.

So people think Randy is fake?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:21pm

correct grammar - FAKE (comma) PEOPLE

Beat you to what. Randy is fake?

did he call her collect? how can he not use his cell to call the credit card company?
Avatar 7:25pm
nowah:

Quizno’s going bankrupt is the last thing I ever expected Randy to lose his job over.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:27pm
chris:

Even though he's full of crap and just trying to scam Ange, I'm relishing thinking of him getting punched and having his wallet stolen. I must be a bad person, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:27pm
dale:

the best show lives.
Avatar 7:27pm
Ange:

Good question! He left his cell charger at home - and his phone was apparently dead at the time I called his motel room.

I prefer this guy when he said Andrea was stumpy & smelled like fresh cut grass.

Ange:

Studio B Ben:

I mean, Randy is some pretty good meta-satire on the worst of men in the dating pool, but I can't quite reconcile that she would spend so much time engaging him, especially when he is so repugnant and immature. And I don't think a place as bad as Quizno's would hire him, since he is so bad at his slogans.
  7:29pm
Marmalade Kitty:

hooray!

How does Randy, @randyisdaman, have 30,000 Twitter Followers? Sumtins funky.

Amen, dale!

Hi Ange and Lovebirds! Cheer us up!

it's funny, just don't foist it on us like it's real. but that makes the whole show suspect.

Hey Ange and everyone
Avatar 7:31pm
Ange:

This story gets really crazy. Stay tuned for my friend Holly to help it all make sense.
  7:31pm
JakeGould:

Hey KK. So we’re trying to decide if Randy is fake. Not easy to say.
  7:33pm
P-90:

No, Jake, at this point it's pretty easy to say. The only question is: where is this going?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:33pm
KK:

Fake in what way? like full of shit? I don't think there's a doubt about that
  7:34pm
ADL:

I dunno about leading in to a story by saying it's important and compelling...
Avatar 7:34pm
Ange:

She said, "Suck my dick".. if that's unclear.

jeez ange. what's a nice jewish girl like you doing talking like that?

can randy call frangry and michelle? they'd rip him a new one.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:39pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

They'd whomp him with pies, for sure!

Studio B Ben:

@ dale

Oh, how I would enjoy that. They'd shut him down so fast.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:40pm
KK:

this guy is pretty vanilla... so turned off by the idea that she had a different thingy at some point in her life. people change, cmon, it's the 90s
Avatar 7:41pm
Matt from Springfield:

Maybe "Randy"s already calling..under a different name and character! Perform voice analysis on all FMU callers!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:41pm
chris:

Agreed, @dale, that would be very cool.

Poor Ken, the station makes its goal, he's in San Francisco pursuing his comedy dreams, and the FCC yanks the license!

"You can fuck me in the ass all you want, and it'll be just like fucking a pussy"--if, that's unclear...

Thanks, @Matt. Clear now. lol
  7:45pm

Jesse should not ignore this lady because of the penis. Many other reasons to avoid sociopath.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:45pm

matt - so is this really this guy's show?
Avatar 7:46pm
Matt from Springfield:

Well, I gotta admire her willingness to "test the system" of traditional first date mores! :)

this is a VERY GOOD SHOW

sexual identity is not an ethical issue. arm chair philosophers. sheesh.

Can we get Holly to analyze Randy? That would be one great show.
Avatar 7:48pm
Matt from Springfield:

@chris: Heh!

@dale: Now now--I don't believe Andrea's a front for anyone else. But, she may be giving other entertainers a chance for some exposure.

sc123:

@Ange did you try to get in touch with the woman he went out with to get her side of the story?
  7:50pm
Cliff:

"Incredibly elaborate real-life troll" - good phrase to use for every episode of this show
  7:50pm
Marmalade Kitty:

Is this the other side of the story?

sc123:

@Ange why not ask that lady listener who is going through the change what her thoughts were? At least she would have some relevant experience to apply.
Avatar 7:54pm
Ange:

I messaged her before the show, and this is far from our last word on the subject!
  7:54pm
Lady listener:

She already has, sc123. She specifically sent me a message about tonight's show
Avatar 7:55pm
sc123:

Ah, good! Just think it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the subject, bearing in mind that the other person might have just been screwing with that guy for the fun of it.
Avatar 7:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Paul: So when will we know the *rest*, of the story..
Avatar 7:57pm
sc123:

And good luck on your journey, Lady Listener. I hope you have a smooth transition and get the body you always wanted!

Marmalade Kitty:

freak out dudes!
Avatar 7:57pm
Ange:

I am from now on skeptical of anyone who calls their internet date "crazy" - it's usually 50/50
Avatar 7:58pm

"And THEN what did that crazy Andrea do??! She'd never get away with *that*, down in Maryland!"...
