February 26, 2014: #12 - Another Radio Show with a Tote Bag (Marathon Week 1)
Support innovative new programming on WFMU!
Today's show is your first chance ever to voice your support for Why oh Why. I'll be joined by DJ Faye from Hello Children, one of my favorite sources for music airing every Saturday night at 9pm-Midnight.
Donate $75 and get a Why Oh Why Tote Bag! It's the tote bag that lets everyone know you're interested in the honest, thought-provoking, soul-crushing, cringeworthy particularities of human relationships, and Randy. Not to be confused with public radio tote bags.
If we make it halfway to my goal, I'll be playing you the beginning of my not-a-date to Bubba Gumps with our regular guest Randy.
If we make my total goal tonight, I'll be playing you a moment from after my dinner with Randy, where I've had a bit too much to drink. Did I mention today's my Birthday?
All gifts of $75 or more will be in the running for my prize, which is this very special chapbook from Believer Magazine of Lena Dunham and Judy Blume in conversation. This is an exclusive eighty-page mini-book featuring two cultural icons discussing their childhoods, careers, favorite breakfasts, ThunderShirts for dogs and humans, Fifty Shades of Grey, and more.

In your 20's, you're worried about what everyone thinks about you.
In your 30's, you say "screw it" and don't care what everyone thinks about you.
Inf your 40's you realize nobody was thinking about you at all.

0.) Randy is quite possibly Aspergic
1.) Randy is also a jerk---you can be both at once. (I try not to be, but 'try' implies the possibility of failure...but there is no 'do', only 'try'.)
2.) Randy strikes me as not so much an honest man as a manipulative man with an 'honesty' schtick. I have long known someone who excuses his own cruelty as 'honesty', but is never honest when he understands that it might hurt him...fortunately, he so badly understands how other people's opinions are formed that he slips-up now and again. If Randy is as similar to the person I've in mind as I'm guessing, he would have an <em>extremely</em> thin skin himself. Example: someone actually dedicated to 'telling it like it is', when asked why he had rated Andrea a 'B+', would quickly aver as to his being a 'B+ at most' or else forthrightly say that he were an 'A' or an 'A+'...I wish that Andrea had asked him how he rates himself....
Note as well how automatically he falls into his 'New York Women' routine, saying that he were 'honest' as opposed to those evil N.Y. women, whom I guess are largely so 'evil' because they call him on his obvious bullshit. (Not to say that some of them aren't evil.)

Even should all your assumptions be true, isn't there at least something in common with the host and what you seem to think are her ilk that this show were not only enjoyable but also useful?
Class and race and privilege leave their marks all about, but some things are just 'human', and if Andrea is deluded in thinking her experience more generally applicable than it were, that is _very_ human...and likely a delusion from which you are not free---I certainly am not free from it.
The two big mistakes we make about human beings we make:
0.) Everybody is like me, so if I understand myself I will understand them.
1.) Everyone is so different to me that information about them were irrelevant to understanding myself.

A true schmuck is JUST a schmuck, he doesn't need Asperger's Syndrome, pickup seminars, or any of that sauce
That's the lesson here

I mean, the man should know enough to at least fake embarrassment around decent folk who don't sell crap food...and for sheer bull I can't think of something much better than the claim that people from Maryland 'tell it like it is'---just ask Tim Kreider about that....

not everything is so fraught w/heavy meaning, especially here, this IS a party, you know?
