This Week on 'Shut Up, Weirdo': Who Deserves a...
Lehman and GM, no. AIG and Citigroup, yes. So why not me? you might ask. And when I say me, I don’t mean me, Co-host Andy, ‘cause I’m doing OK right now, thanks for asking, but rather someone who’s not doing so well who’s full of populist resentment over private jets and stuff. That’s what I’m talking about. By the way, did I mention that I own stock in...
To My Favorite 'Shut Up, Weirdo' Listener, Julien:
frangry:
I’m really hurt that you didn’t call in to the show last night. :(
ANDY: Maybe he couldn’t get through, or had to rush a sick relative to the hospital, or was forced to pose in a swimsuit for some idiotic fund-raising calendar. These things happen. And how do you know it’s not spelled Julian?

This Week on 'Shut Up, Weirdo': Worst Movies Ever!
Plan 9? Heaven’s Gate? Leonard Part 6? There’s a lot of contenders for worst movie ever, but we want to know what criteria do you judge by? Was the plot a mess? Was the acting horrible?

WatchANDY: How NOT to Do It … If I was sitting in some coffee place reading my book, and these three sat down within earshot, I would move to another table, or put in my earplugs.
A bit of advice: Get better microphones. You really want the true quality of the conversation to come out.
Where the Hell is Break City?
ANDY: Our most popular call last night was from Chet (?) the Limo Driver (see the Chrysler 300C post below) from “Brick City” (not Break City, as I thought), which I just learned is a nickname for Newark, allegedly because of the ready availability of crack in handy economy-size brick form. Thank you, Chet, on behalf of WFMU in Chilltown.

Radio Show. Tonight. 6 to 7pm.
frangry: (ANDY-FIED)
The topic for tonight is: The economy is [not in an optimal state of affairs]. What will you do for money if you get laid off? Sell [medical products for profit, even a risk of incarceration]?

For Those Who Like Awesome: The Don McLean Edition
First read this short article by Andy Breckman and then listen to last week’s edition of WFMU’s ”Seven Second Delay,” which features Ira Kaplan of Yo La Tengo singing the most iconic song of the 1970s. (You may skip ahead to the 43-minute mark if necessary.)
