Txts Between Andy and Frangry

Andy: Ever seen a dude with a tramp stamp in front? Is that a thing now?
Frangry: WTF on the front where? Like above his belly button?
Andy: Below the bb, above the top of the pants (shirt open). Saw this in a grocery store at Jersey Shore.
Andy: Think I've discovered a new species of douchebag!
Frangry: Must be a Jersey thing.
Andy: You know: *I like to give the ladies something nice to look at while they're doing me*

Sorry, No 'Shut Up, Weirdo' This Week

Andy and Frangry are taking a little break. Really, things are fine. We’re just taking a little time to sort things out, think things through. I mean, yes, the whole calendar thing was a bit of a strain, but that’s over now, and I’m sure we’ll get through this, and things will be just fine in time for our next show on July 10. We just ask that you all give us a zone of privacy until then. Thank you.

In the mag, Palin sez she could beat Obama in a foot race.

OK, but what about in tic-tac-toe?

Suggestions Welcome

Timkl: I have a topic suggestion for your episode the 10th: moral dilemmas.
Shutupweirdo: Oh, uh, I want to use that but don't want to credit or thank you. What to do? *What to do?*
Timkl: That's a moral dilemma for you.

Tom Scharpling on the Mystery of Spike (via Buzzine.com)

Ben Kharakh: During the election, people were calling you about politics and you’d act like you had no idea what was going on or as though you had no opinion. And then someone like Spike would try to explain things to you…
Tom Scharpling: The great thing about Spike is, literally, that is its own section of the show now, where I can have one stand on things during a Spike call and then just shift it completely for the rest of the show, because I’m not sure how much he listens beyond his own call. With Spike, it’s fun for me to act clueless because it almost becomes some weird Abbot & Costello routine, like “Who’s on First?” He’s trying to tell me that Hillary Clinton is a Democrat, and then I’m not understanding what he’s saying. “Well, Hillary Clinton is a Democrat. What is Barack Obama then?” he says, “Well, he’s a Democrat too.” “Well, no they both can’t be.” Acting willfully stupid always makes me laugh. Or I’ll act just like every slob, right-wing person. I like assuming that persona on the radio. I don’t think anybody believes that I’m really an extreme right-wing Republican.
Ben Kharakh: I wonder about Spike because he seems like he’s got a normal job, but he’s also a male dominatrix…?
Tom Scharpling: I guess. Here’s what I think: that’s in his head a little bit. I would be shocked if this guy was really living out those fantasies. I think he has just created this persona, this idealized version of himself. I could be completely off base, of course, and I like him a lot, but he’s clearly being a character and he’s having a lot of fun. He wouldn’t call back if it was any other way.

Last night at WFMU, Irwin was showing around an advance copy of this, and it is awesome! For midcentury-modern junkies like me, this is like like a hit of black tar heroin.

Listen to 'Shut Up, Weirdo' for 6/26/09

Due to Michael Jackson being 99% plastic, he will be melted into Legos so kids can play with him for a change.
