Frangry is of course too-too modest to tout her own horns, but Shut Up, Weirdo fans can get an extra dose of Vitamin F when the beautiful Irked One co-hosts tomorrow (Friday, March 12) during Bryce’s (see above) noon-3pm ear-sore-palooza before retreating to her Mattress of Solitude for a nap, then cranking it up all over again for another high-octane history-making, money-raking, no-sense-braking full-throttle episode of Shut Up, Weirdo. Oh. My. God. You will die if you miss it. Srsly.
From Listener Svetlana, who pledged very generously during last week’s show.

Friday’s Topic: Marathon Spectacular, Part II
WFMU’s March Marathon Madness comes to an end this weekend, so this your last chance to get on team for the big play and put us over the top, Jersey-style, so that we may continue our Golden Task, enlightening you, our faithful listenership.
This week Andy and Frangry go all in, kick out the jams, roll away the stone, toss aside the steering wheel, and redline this sucker. We aim to double last week’s total or try denying. But we can’t possibly do it without you, Lord and Lady Listener.
So here’s the deal, McNeil: As per last, Andy and Frangry, plus co-host Stationmaster Ken, will drink a wee dram of vodka every time we get a pledge of USD $180 or more. Plus … plus, you get a shot to win a date with either Andy or Frangry (BUT NOT BOTH, WEIRDO). Pledge a mere $75 or more, AND you can get a copy of Have a Good One, our guide to timeless wisdom, plus a WFMU T-shirt and sticker. Again, this week’s topic is secret. You’ll just have to trust us, which you do already. So send us money.
Pledge this Friday from 6 to 7pm (Eastern) by calling 800 536-9368 or going online at WFMU.ORG. Listen in on WFMU 91.1 (NYC area) or WFMU.org (imagine if you couldn’t).
Shut Up, Weirdo: The promise of joy. The magic of blather.

Guess what I’m listening to on repeat today?…..
Here’s a hint: When you hold me closer, I feel no pain

Meanwhile, in Studio B, Patton Oswalt guest-stars on The Best Show. (Twitpic by John Hodgman)
Dear Diary,
Last night at WFMU was magical! I met Frangry there so that we could rehearse our number with the Hoof & Mouth Sinfonia! There were cookies and beers, and almost everyone was in a good mood because of the Marathon! While we waited our turn with the band, Mr. Tom Scharpling was good-naturedly shouting for pledges on his radio show and handing out vegan cupcakes during his breaks! I brushed shoulders (Literally! I even said, “Excuse me”!) with Mr. John Hodgman (“I’m a PC!” he didn’t say), and actually saw Mr. Patton Oswalt check his email in the WFMU Volunteer Room! Then we were called down to Studio A to “rock it out” with the live band! I barely remember what happened next! it was more fun than a tickle fight! Then it was time to go home to bed! Oh, Diary, I think I shan’t ever have an evening so exciting and magical again! At least until this Friday’s Shut Up, Weirdo’s Marathon Show, Part II! Good night, and sweet dreams, Diary!
Even Welsh sitcom actors (from Gavin and Stacy) can sing this better than we can. Even worse, this version was a No. 1 hit single in the U.K. a year ago, until Lady Gaga came along. John Hodgman.
Andy and Frangry rock it out, rehearsing for Hoof & Mouth
Tonight Andy and Frangry of Shut Up, Weirdo will be rehearsing with the entire WFMU Hoof & Mouth Sinfonia in preparation for our joint March 14 debut at Carnegie Hall Maxwell’s in Hoboken. The awesomeness begins at 7pm Sunday and will be simulcast over the WFMU network, which is just one single station, unless you count the Internet.
Side note of interest: During our rehearsal time tonight, John Hodgman will also be at WFMU, participating in tonight’s Best Show. I mention that only because posts mentioning John Hodgman seem to get an automatic reblog over at F**k Yeah John Hodgman, which seems like a ripe new audience for future Shut Up, Weirdo listeners.
