Randy is the host of Miserable Retail Slave, which is a big, dumb comedy improv podcast. He lives outside beautiful Flint, MI, USA and struggles with being a lazy, yet overworked dreamer and a struggling, but barely trying writer.
Tom Coe is the host of Jake and Tom Conquer the World. He is more Pinky rather than the Brain in taking over this world of ours. Urban legend says that he loves to cut a rug, but I've never seen it.
