WFMU: Why Oh Why? with Andrea Silenzi: Playlist from May 7, 2014

Listener comments!
	7:01pm Greg from Bloomfield: First time listening live in WEEKS!
	7:02pm Listener Julian: Ange, this show is great.
	7:02pm Peanut: Is Randy still pissed?
	7:03pm Studio B Ben: @Peanut: When is Randy not pissed?
	7:03pm Callieflower: "Space jamming" is a phrase that doesn't surprise me, coming from Randy
	7:03pm dale: did the rorer 712s a few times. BUT THAT WAS 35 YEARS AGO! where did randy get quaaludes that haven't been made in decades?
	7:03pm Peanut: Good point.
	7:05pm Peanut: Orange chill pills... Vicodin?
	7:05pm Ange: Is vicodin orange? Is that what it could be?
	7:06pm dale: ask gregory house.
	7:06pm Ange: @Greg - hey! glad you're here! I totes have something for you on my desk still. @Julian - thank you!
	7:06pm Peanut: I dunno just making guesses. It's tough since it was from Mexico.
	7:07pm Studio B Ben: Uh oh. Foreshadowing to mommy issues?
	7:09pm Callieflower: Keep saying pop-pop, please, randy
	7:09pm dale: he sees his pop-pop and thinks it's an orgasm? okay.
	7:11pm Peanut: Haha
	7:11pm Greg from Bloomfield: I forgot them AGAIN.
	7:11pm dale: i saw loretta swit at LAX ten years ago and she looked HORRIBLE - bulimic, puffed out callogen- injected lips and bleached out fried hair.
	7:11pm Peanut: I'm still dying to see what he looks like
	7:13pm dale: oh - randy's in SAG
	7:13pm Listener Julian: Grade D BJ from an MP!!!
	7:14pm Peanut: I just envision Charlie sheen
	7:15pm Studio B Ben: More and more, I'm surprised Randy wasn't in Tommy Wiseau's "The Room".
	7:16pm Ange: 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 "MAS*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.
	7:17pm jeff in Puna: Wasn't The Seven Second Delay Show with Ken
	7:17pm Robert: I was in my late 40s.
	7:17pm 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.
	7:17pm dale: it's like imagining what holden caulfield looks like. randy is a fictional character.
	7:19pm JakeGould: You know what can solve Randy’s infuriating vocal fry? Drain-o. It can also solve Randy.
	7:19pm Peanut: Secrets out it was ADVIL
	7:19pm cosmic matrix: i can hear andrea clicking.
	7:19pm Callieflower: I thought he'd be working at Bennigans
	7:19pm dale: @wow - wow!
	7:20pm Edward: Andrea, I want to like your show, but I seriously can't abide this asshole.
	7:20pm Ange: I was taking notes for Noah - sorry for the clicking!
	7:20pm Robert: I love Ms. Sllenzi's clicking.
	7:21pm jeff in Puna: Stay positive, everybody, as we enter this man's darkness.
	7:21pm marmalade kitty: why does this deserve valuable air time?
	7:21pm cosmic matrix: just sayin'.
	7:22pm Robert: Edward, can you abide it as a perforance?
	7:22pm marmalade kitty: FOS
	7:22pm jeff in Puna: The Mother's Day special was great!
	7:22pm Listener Julian: "Do you not know what a 'gigantic D' is?"
	7:23pm cosmic matrix: anyway, this is INTENSE! bootleg hermit crabs?
	7:23pm Ange: Does everyone know what a D is but me?
	7:24pm dale: i say randy's a writer or actor, or both.
	7:24pm Blunterson: "Bootleg hermit crabs" is pretty good
	7:24pm Callieflower: I had no idea, Andrea
	7:24pm 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.
	7:25pm jeff in Puna: Agreed, and thank you, marmalade kitty!
	7:25pm Callieflower: "The prettiest they'll ever look" Thank you for saying that about 17-year-olds, Randy :(
	7:26pm jeff in Puna: WFMU is SO Much better than this. And so are you, Andrea!
	7:26pm Greg from Bloomfield: I'm gonna start telling people that I forgive them all the time and it's gonna be awesome.
	7:27pm Peanut: Randy sure loves to talk
	7:27pm Robert: 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.
	7:27pm cosmic matrix: people, i think randy is fake. he HAS to be. he just HAS to be. do you think?
	7:27pm cosmic matrix: PLEASE say it's so.
	7:28pm Peanut: Jeff Andrea just started her show , and it's good give her a break
	7:28pm dale: andrea's earnest persona of innocence and goodness needs this douchebag foil to make things fun and interesting. but maybe his time has passed.
	7:28pm Studio B Ben: @cosmic matrix: Totally agree.
	7:28pm Curious Listener: This is Spike's normal voice, isn't it?
	7:29pm Robert: I find this fun, but now maybe some of you will understand my dislike of Scharpling's show; he used to draw out stuff like this too far.
	7:29pm cosmic matrix: @studio B ben: i mean, SHIT.
	7:30pm cavorting with nudists: Anybody who goes to the trouble of constructing a character should either be able to come up with something more interesting than this or turn their energies in a different direction.
	7:31pm Jeff In Puna Hawaii: Randy randy randy
	7:32pm JakeGould: 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.
	7:32pm Peanut: Robert sharplings show was 3 hours that's hard to do every week let alone once
	7:33pm cosmic matrix: hey, jeff pledged!! whoo-hoo, nice pic!!
	7:33pm 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.
	7:33pm Jeff In Puna Hawaii: Edward - I second your opinion. This guy....
	7:34pm Marc: 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?
	7:37pm Jeff In Puna Hawaii: It may be a schtick, but the thing is, some more impressionable young men might be listening to this, and think his misogyny is acceptable and OK.
	7:38pm cosmic matrix: "THE GIFT OF LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING!"
	7:38pm JakeGould: @Peanut: This show, I have faith in. This schtick should have been tap-danced off the stage already.
	7:39pm cosmic matrix: (applause!)
	7:39pm Jeff In Puna Hawaii: I still luv ya, Andrea. Be strong!
	7:39pm Robert: Are you serious, Jeff?
	7:40pm Robert: I mean about young listeners taking lessons from Randy.
	7:41pm Peanut: Wait so Andrea me randy by going on an ok Cupid date w him?
	7:41pm Peanut: Met
	7:41pm JakeGould: “It may be a schtick, but the thing is, some more impressionable young men might be listening to this, and think his misogyny is acceptable and OK.” Wow, you are Yoda or something!
	7:42pm Jeff In Puna Hawaii: P-90, you are right and wrong. That is the real axiom. And who said ai was still listening?
	7:43pm Robert: I'm hoping Jeff was joking.
	7:46pm Studio B Ben: Ah. Randy in a trench coat. Of course. Sigh.
	7:47pm Peanut: Go! Gadget Go!
	7:48pm cosmic matrix: with sharp weapons protruding from his sleeves? (shutter)
	7:48pm P-90: Hahaha, you knew Randy had a trench coat in his closet somewhere...
	7:49pm Jeff In Puna Hawaii: Wasn't The Seven Second Delay Mother's Day show awesome?
	7:49pm cosmic matrix: (shudder that is)
	7:49pm Peanut: I wonder if he has an assortment of watches inside
	7:50pm Studio B Ben: It's gonna be Randy.
	7:52pm Listener Julian: Ange, he's going to hear you!
	7:53pm Joseph Andrew: Wow that poem was really corny.
	7:53pm Studio B Ben: Yeah.
	7:53pm cosmic matrix: YEAH BABY! HERE WE GO!!
	7:53pm JakeGould: This 1 hour show is stretching it.
	7:53pm cosmic matrix: hahahahahahahahahahah
	7:54pm P-90: More and more "poo" involved
	7:54pm dale: 'angie baby' by helen reddy would be a good closing theme for the show.
	7:55pm cosmic matrix: yup, yup, the podcast.
	7:55pm dB from Oakland: Should we start a betting pool on whether Randy's podcast ever happens?
	7:56pm dB from Oakland: He has a whole room devoted to baseball hats?
	7:56pm JakeGould: Here is a poem for Randy, entitled, “Randy.” This nasal vocal fry / This dude should say goodbye / Get an icepick / Right in his eye / Bye
	7:56pm Studio B Ben: Sigh.
	7:57pm unmake: Randy's dog impression isn't.
	8:00pm cosmic matrix: (applause!)
	8:00pm P-90: 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
	8:01pm P-90: thanks, Andrea
	12:27pm alexzendra: 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.
