The United Bamboo Cat Calendar
Is genius, but not as good as the Shut Up, Weirdo calendar, which you can still get by pledging here. (via frangry)

Topic: What’s the dumbest thing you’ve done while inebriated? Memorable calls include: Becky, who got her hair cut off at a party with various instruments including corkscrews. Bop, who went to various bridges on multiple occasions and risked his life all in the name of relieving himself. And our very own Station Manager Ken, who just happened to fall through the skylight in his high...
“What’s ‘Shut Up, Weirdo’?”
– Andy Breckman, on last night’s “Seven Second Delay,” in response to John McCabe’s call at the 55-minute mark regarding “the greatest show in the universe.”
Friday's Topic: Drinking vs. Thinking
Our last show of the year falls in the middle of party season, so we ask you, our hard-drinking listeners, to tell us the dumbest thing you’ve done while inebriated. Maybe you woke up in a Dumpster, or “accidentally” quit your job, or (not to name names) maybe even co-hosted an hour of live radio while legally drunk. We want to hear about it, Boozy Boots. Spare us your acquittal...
Andy just made me so mad that I broke out in...
I quit. He’s fired.

Happy Birthday to Me, From Johnny Muller
Not only did he send me the best card and my favorite candies. But he also sent me two Kate Moss t-shirts, silk screened with my favorite pics.

Friday's Topic: What Was Your Worst Year
In solemn observance of Frangry’s 30th birthday (Dec. 14 — petition your congressman now), we ask callers to look back and tell us: after which birthday did it all go wrong for you.
Was it turmoil at 12? An elegy for 18? Trouble at 26? Failure at 40? A deep funk at 50? (Hey, things may be great now, but nothing lasts forever.)
Call Andy & Frangry on the air (201-209-9368) with...

Topic: Best Invention Ever?
Friday's Topic: Best Invention Ever?
Andy: We don't have a topic yet ... How to Be Cool at Parties: Our Listeners Weigh In, and Slam Charities They Don't Like. Or maybe just the first part.
Frangry: Those topics are embarrassing. We are doing "What's the best invention?"
Andy: That's what it took you all this time to come up with? Really? What's your nominee for best invention? I want to see where you're going with this.
Frangry: cardboard box
Andy: Great. You're writing it up. Here's some touchstones to get you started: fire, wheel, religion/government/democracy, chocolate, steam engine, automobile, computer, nuclear power, birth-control pill, iPod. You're welcome.
Frangry: Boy, thanks Andy! The show would be nothing without your always awesome contributions.
Andy: Blah, blah, blah. Call us on the air (201-209-9368) this Friday from 6 to 7pm EST on WFMU 91.1 (NYC area) or WFMU.org (spoiler alert: via mankind's greatest invention ever), "Shut Up, Weirdo." Promise of Joy, yadda, yadda.
