WFMU: Why Oh Why? with Andrea Silenzi: Playlist from February 19, 2014

Listener comments!
	7:02pm Matt from Springfield: Beat Beat! Hi there Andrea and Money/Honey fans!
	7:04pm BadGuyZero: Hiya!
	7:05pm Slim Pickins: good stuff so far - this is "cringe-worthy" radio, thats why i love it. cant get this anywhere else but WFMU
	7:07pm Matt from Springfield: How to be economical on dates..
	7:10pm JakeGould: Have to admit. I am not genuinely charmed by this show. Although Tim Harford comes off like a snit.
	7:11pm P-90: (taking notes) ..."nobody wants to waste a Thursday", mm-hm
	7:11pm Matt from Springfield: That could be problem of mine, trying to look for "perfection" right off--really I'd like to go with any girl who enjoys my company and I hers, but even that can be a tall order.
	7:11pm JakeGould: ACK! No! NO! I meant to say: Have to admit. I am NOW (now!) genuinely charmed by this show. Although Tim Harford comes off like a snit.
	7:12pm P-90: @Jake: he's an economist, it's his job
	7:12pm Ange: The secret title for this episode is "How Planet Money Got Me Laid" .... this show feels incredibly personal. Like, more of a diary than a radio show. I'm probably going to lose a lot of you by the end of this...
	7:13pm Matt from Springfield: @P-90: Thursdays are meant to be enjoyed. @Jake: "Snits, Creeps and Psychos...and Ange!" :)
	7:14pm P-90: "Race to the bottom" now we're getting somewhere
	7:14pm Matt from Springfield: @Ange: Hey, WFMU is one long dare to the listeners--and fans are glad to accept the challenge! :)
	7:14pm Please: get a date . your voice is grating.
	7:15pm P-90: screen me Baby, screen me
	7:15pm JakeGould: “I'm probably going to lose a lot of you by the end of this...” No. Not. Can’t. You’re good.
	7:15pm Matt from Springfield: Please: don't listen then to shows that are grating you.
	7:17pm JakeGould: “He's an economist, it's his job.” Who cares. Snit. But interesting discussion.
	7:17pm Matt from Springfield: "YES! YES! YES! I WILL date you! Make me the happiest woman, at Red Lobster!"..
	7:17pm Ike: I always enjoy this show, and yet it also makes me a little uncomfortable, because every episode seems very personal. But that's also why it's good.
	7:17pm P-90: (still taking notes) "dating like the Toyota supply system....hmmm"
	7:20pm BadGuyZero: My experience with dating sites/apps is that the people who appear to be good matches to me are on the other side of the U.S. I'm undateable in Dallas. :rollseyes:
	7:20pm P-90: @Ike: re: "every episode 'seems' very personal"; that's showbiz, that's what's bringing listeners back week to week
	7:20pm Ange: This one feels the worst of all of them to me, because there are real people and feelings involved in the second half of the show.
	7:21pm BadGuyZero: So I've taken inspiration from Liz Lemon and now I'm dating Astronaut Michelle Dexter.
	7:22pm Matt from Springfield: "As a Lean Six Sigma certified dating specialist, I can overhaul and make efficient the dating system for YOUR behalf! Call 212..."
	7:22pm JakeGould: “Find out what it takes to woo your host.” Woo.
	7:23pm chuck: this show has been vectoring toward NPR stuff for weeks now, and the two worlds have converged. it is a bit worrisome for those of us who seek In WFMU an escape from NPRism. Sorry but i keep concluding that this weekly show's premise is narcissistic!! listening to anyone go on and on week after week obsessing over their potential love life, etc., gets TIRESOME
	7:24pm JakeGould: Chuck, just wait until 8:00pm. Dave Emory comes on. You can have your fun then!
	7:24pm P-90: BGZ: What? My Michelle is seeing other guys?
	7:26pm Skirkie: Immediately admitting something as weird will only make it more weird.
	7:27pm JakeGould: Boerum Hill? Ewww. I lived there for a while. Screw anyone still in that neighborhood.
	7:27pm BadGuyZero: Skype makes my computer freeze up. So this introduction method would be a disaster for me.
	7:28pm JakeGould: As a C-section baby, my only concern in the world is stuff in this study. www.thedailybeast.com...
	7:29pm P-90: @Chuck: how can you not see that this is a total DEconstruction of an NPR-istic show? It's a reductio-ad-absurdum SATIRE of NPR style narcissism, so you should be loving it. Loosen up maybe?
	7:29pm JakeGould: Chuck is a schmuck. Duck!
	7:30pm Slim Pickins: @Chuck, I agree somewhat, definitely a little cynical and narcissistic . but a lot of people can agree with some of the subject matter, i still enjoy it.
	7:35pm like: like like like
	7:39pm Skirkie: I say date, but I'm also in my 30s.
	7:41pm mike east: It's funny, both planet money and freakonomics podcasts had episodes about dating websites from an economic perspective recently
	7:42pm P-90: "Mandarin collar": you mean a Nehru jacket?
	7:42pm dear Chuck: I hear you dude. Just three minutes of the guy and Andrea had me cracking up over the staccato. Telegraphic. Speaking. Style. Has Valley Speak taken over an entire generation?
	7:42pm Ange: Have any of you read "The Game" any of those seduction books?
	7:42pm P-90: creep alert!
	7:43pm mike east: ...was just listening to one and remembered I can stream fmu on the bus now
	7:45pm JakeGould: Never read, “The Game” because d-bags like this guy are 1,000% obvious. What a horrible con artist this guy is.
	7:45pm dear Chuck: As for the fanboys comments. Whatever floats your boat. This show ain't all that to the rest of us.
	7:45pm Ange: Can you guys tell I know nothing about drugs? I was like "how often do you trip on acid?"
	7:45pm P-90: Happens every time, the more flesh-crawlingly creepy the guy reveals himself to be, the more giggly and flirtatious Andrea becomes
	7:46pm P-90: "tripping acid" do people say it that way?
	7:47pm mike east: Ange, you are the Carrie Bradshaw of radio
	7:48pm BadGuyZero: I haven't read "The Game." When it came out a lot of talks shows had "pickup artists" on their show. They reminded me of the creepy trenchcoat/ponytail guys trying to pickup girls at comic book conventions [I did work for a convention organizer in the early 90s].
	7:48pm JakeGould: He lives in the flight path of LaGuardia. And was raised by olde fashioned lesbians? Wow. What a catch!
	7:48pm P-90: The old "raised by feminist lesbians on a peacock farm" line, old as the hills
	7:48pm Slim Pickins: @ange, i know people that have, and Ive got to say... they fit the mold of someone who would read that book. some peopel are just hopeless.
	7:49pm Andrea: I think I want to edit out my Carrie Bradshaw joke. It totally flopped!
	7:51pm P-90: No, it didn't, it was a propos. Aren't you going for a Carrie Bradshaw kind of thing here?
	7:52pm BadGuyZero: @ange: In hindsight, do you question if this guy was from Kansas City? I ask because he seems like the type to read-up on a few places to use them as a "I'm from _______" tool of connecting.
	7:53pm Ange: Minus the heels
	7:53pm Cliff: "It's all the microphones, guys" Ha!
	7:53pm Robert: So that's what does it--the microphone! Ms. Silenzi sounds so great on it, it figures she couldn't sound that good in real life.
	7:54pm Robert: Laura Cantrell's mic should be kept in a safe!
	7:55pm P-90: Why would any of these guys not be curious to go and check out the show as soon as you engage them, and let them know that you have a radio show? ABOUT DATING? Obviously it's going to be a factor every time, right? No?
	7:55pm P-90: @Robert: Hahaha!
	7:56pm Matt from Springfield: Typical female .. just wants guys to "put out", intentions...
	7:56pm BadGuyZero: Everybody I've met from FMU sounds pretty much the same in-person as they do on-mic.
	7:57pm JakeGould: BadGuyZero, maybe that’s because you walk through life with a windscreen on your ears.
	7:57pm P-90: BGZ: that's an interesting point
	7:58pm dale: "It's a reductio-ad-absurdum SATIRE of NPR style narcissism" - THIS IS NARCISSIM. npr is intelligent, but if you don't get the subject matter, then it's just seems pretentious.
	7:58pm BadGuyZero: @Jake: It might be the tinnitus.
	7:58pm j-No: This show should be retitled "Me Oh My!"
	7:59pm Robert: Mood music -- Michael Giacchino minus strings?
	8:00pm BadGuyZero: MENTAL NOTE: If I ever go on a date with Andrea, bring stickers.
	8:01pm P-90: Thanks, Ms. Silenzi! You'll have fun with Faye!
	8:01pm JakeGould: Now comes Dave Emory. Fun city ahead!
	8:01pm Matt from Springfield: All right! Thanks for "putting out" your intentions, Andrea! Hope you have great Marathon shows! Have a good night, everyone!
	8:02pm BadGuyZero: We used to hear Faye on Thursday mornings.
	8:02pm Robert: It's funny going from Ms. Silenzi's highly produced segments to her oopsies ending the show. Cute, though.
	8:02pm P-90: @Matt: Alf Weinersame!
	8:03pm Ange: I am good on protools, but less good at hitting the right buttons on time!
	8:03pm Slim Pickins: Good stuff andrea. lets date
	8:03pm Robert: Jake, I used to take Dave Emory seriously. Recently, however, he talked about people I know, and realized it's BS.
	8:03pm Matt from Springfield: :) P-90
	8:05pm Robert: His voice on his installments is getting better, though, so I guess in real time by now he sounds pretty good.
	8:06pm Angele Merkel: Vatch for my new progrem aboud vat is MY datink life like! Later, Kiddiez!
	1:27pm Greg from Bloomfield: That was like The Dating Game. Glad you went with Bachelor #1– he was clearly the winner.
