Please Do Not Prank SHUT UP WEIRDO.

[Sarah]

Frangry's uncle was great, though.

I had a listen and it was hardly Welles doing War of the Worlds; in fact at times it was borderline intolerable. However, I'm a fairly appalling radio voice myself and if FMU offered me a show, I'd do it in spite of the slings and arrows of the FoT. I'm going to leave them alone; it's on at like 11pm on a Friday for me and if I'm listening to the radio then something has gone wrong.

[CurtBlair]

Yes, this is awesome.  Can you do The James Menagerie?

I live to serve!

LAURA: (Takes a glass ornament off the shelf, hands it to Jim.) Oh, be careful; if you breathe, it breaks. (It's a little man-shaped figurine. Jim holds it up to the light.) See how the light shines through him?
JIM: It sure does shine! Say, just what kind of a thing is it supposed to be?
LAURA: Haven't you noticed the toupee on his head?
JIM: Oh, a James, huh?
LAURA: Mmmmm-hmmmm.
JIM: Poor little fellow must feel kind of lonesome.
LAURA: Well, if he does he doesn't complain about it. He stays on the shelf with some fellows who don't have toupees, and as long as I move him next to this little glass radio figurine and glass phone figurine on Tuesday nights he gets along nicely.
JIM: Say, where do I -- (Suddenly, the figurine seems to come to life! It wriggles out of Jim's hand, runs up the length of Jim's arm, dances, giggles, waves his arms in the air.)
FIGURINE: You got glass James--(Startled, Jim makes a sudden movement. The figurine plummets off his shoulder and to the floor.)--sssssssseeeeed! (Hitting the floor, his glass toupee breaks off. Laura picks him back up.)
JIM: Is he broken?
LAURA: Now he's just like all the other mutants.
JIM: You mean he lost his--?
LAURA: He's lost his toupee. It doesn't matter. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

[Mr. Science]

FYI They both now have seen this thread.

The best! I had to keep replaying it because we were laughing too hard.

[Steeley Chris]

So this show's about a 15 year old and her dad?

But seriously, I don't know what Ken & Andy's show is, but ew bouy, it can't be worse than SHUT UP WEIRDO. Thumbs down.

Ugh, and enough with the bloggers.

[masterofsparks]

Frangry's "Oh, THAT explains it" when Julie Marguerite said that she was from Chillicothe, OH was telling. I guess the descriptor "East coast snob" needs to be added in front of "raunchy jerk."

[Steve of Bloomington]

I'd love to call to discuss Mathematics to find out whether or not they are actually civilized. I don't think it's a prank if I'm serious.

True, or the finer points of silverware placement, that kind of thing.

Awesome!  Will I be pushing my luck if I ask for Glengarry Glen James?

[Fido]

Frangry's trying to imply that all the wackjobs who called in were from the FOT fold? That can't be.

Why is she so (fr)angry?

[thecramedog]

So I couldn't resist.  I had to listen to it, too.  Honestly, I just skipped through it to collect some bits and pieces.

The most telling part of the broadcast is when 28 year old Frangry admits that her best friend didn't watch television until she was, GASP! 20 years old.

"She wasn't allowed to watch television until she was 20 and she missed out on A LOT of things, let me tell you.

"Shes my favorite person in the whole world, BUT a lot of the time we'll be talking about stuff and she'll be like, 'What?  What's... MTV?'  You know?"

Tom would GOMP a person who spoke like that, plain and simple.  I waffle between who I hate more.  Andy is the obvious choice because he's rambling to the point that you can predict the swerves in his conversation before he does.  But I think this Frangry is worse.  She's a simple-minded girl who really thinks she's complicated. 

Okay, enough ranting.  Done.

[John Junk 2.0]

Man, I really gotta listen to this show.

[derkins]

wait if this is the dude from silkworm, all bets are off. best band

[Martin]

Man, I really gotta listen to this show.

Yeah, me too. Just can't bring myself to it though.

To be fair, it usually takes a long time for talk show hosts to develop their craft.  Andy and Frangry have been on the radio for precisely three hours.  On the other hand, I think a lot of the criticism of their show is legitimate.  You don't see any anti-Night People or The Acousmatic Theater Hour threads on here.
