Randy Feltface is still funnier than terminally-ill Teletubbies

from Dam Yankee · host Dam Yankee

He’s the world’s most famous purple philosopher, but even global icons get tired of living out of a suitcase. In this milestone 50th episode of the Dam Yankee podcast, host Zack Newmark sits down with the one and only Randy Feltface for a raw, hilarious, and unexpectedly vulnerable look at the fabricated man behind the comedy. The show is out now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more services. Fresh off a string of sold-out Dutch shows and a high-profile appearance on Arjen Lubach's show, Randy is gearing up for his new YouTube special, "First Banana" (dropping April 1). But beneath the manic stage energy lies a performer who is fundamentally burned out. "I got a lot of, you know, rejection in the early days," he recalled, dropping his manic energy for a moment of grim reflection. Promoters would dismiss him outright with incredibly specific insults. "A lot of 'we'll call you when we need someone who looks like Tinky Winky from the Teletubbies with a life threatening autoimmune disease. We'll get on the phone when we need that, Randy.'" From the grueling physical toll of his "Buster Keaton" performance style to his 20 years of nonstop touring, Randy pulls no punches about the reality of the circuit. "I'm sick of it," he confessed. "I want to do some laundry. I want a washing machine. That's too much to ask. I want a goddamn washing machine and a bookshelf. Oh, and a cup. I want a mug." Feltface admits there is a unique energy he finds when performing for audiences in the Netherlands. The connection with Dutch crowds is part of what keeps him going even when he feels he’s "evolving the wrong way". The thrill of the live environment as something that can’t be replicated, noting, "I love touring, I'm... perpetually grateful for the world that I have created and that I get to exist in". This full episode of Dam Yankee can be seen on YouTube, or listen to the Dam Yankee on all major podcast platforms. Randy Feltface is currently on tour with comedian Brodi Snook in the United States, which continues through the end of May. The duo then head back out on the road for more North American tour dates in September. Follow Feltface on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook for updates.

We know you'll fall in love with Great Falls, Montana, just like we have. Round the Moon (Version 2) by Jules Verne Loyal Books Jules Verne’s sequel to his “From the Earth to the Moon” begins with a short chapter to catch you up, if you missed the first book.Then we join our three adventurers in their huge projectile as they gather themselves after the shock of being fired at the Moon from the Columbiad cannon. Perhaps in a nod to Yankee exceptionalism, Verne permits them an extraordinary encounter in space, and better yet – to survive it!But that encounter has a lasting effect: despite all the careful preparations to deposit the projectile on the Moon, it appears the travelers are destined to miss it! Careful scientists at heart, the former artillerymen in the projectile note every occurrence faithfully in their notebooks, along with the details of their observations of the Moon as they fly past… and round it. That precision might pay off as they try to figure out what happens to them next: will they fly off into space, become an eternal satellite of the Moon, or perhaps, something else?And do they have an Dave Dashaway Around the World by Roy Rockwood Loyal Books Never was there a more clever young aviator than Dave Dashaway, and all up-to-date lads will wish to make his acquaintance.Weldon J.
