Hello Randomers and Randomites. It's been over a year now since we've invaded your brains through your electronic devices and "50" episodes, not counting the variety of amazing shows we've started, so we decided to take a look back at some of the fun we've had, the hell we've raised the guests we've had and the friends we've made.

September 16, 2019 15:11 - 38 minutes - 35.1 MB

Hello Randomers and Randomites. As the saying goes, I don't know art, but I know what I like. In that case for me, it's a tie between Art Donovan and Art Carney.

Hello Randomers and Randomites. Did you ever have a plan that was set in stone until you got to where you were going? Well sometimes it happens, and you just have to roll with out.

However, when he arrived at our secret location, he mentioned that he was a big fan of the old comic serials from the 1940s and 1950s. So, in typical Carnival style, we switched it up on the fl...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. You ever think that life just can't get any weirder? Well, sometimes cartoon tropes come to life.

Hello Randomers and Randomites. Happy Dyngus Day! In keeping with the tradition of trying to bribe the holiday spirits to get our goodies, we find ourselves confronted with the Easter Basket of Doom.
