Breaking News!

Not to be confused with Breaking Wind! This just in! Randy & Spiff have been "let go" from Atlanta's Greatest Hits. This morning was our last radio show on 106.7. Thanks to all of our incredible, loyal listeners and friends who made going to work each morning so much fun. Without you we would not have survived in Atlanta for so many years. You are the very best! Who knows, we may even surface again on a radio near you. In the meantime, you can keep track of us here at www.spiffhappens.com or www.randyandspiff.blogspot.com. Company was sold. Strictly a business decision on the new owners part. Randy and I will be both FINE and DANDY. Too many blessings all around us to worry about a little speed bump like losing a job.

My best always....Judy Suggs

I have a new Dufus of the Day for you...The new owners and their decisions to let you guys go. I won't be listening to morning radio any more. It just won't be the same.

BeachBum said...

Well, the only reason I listened to 106.7 in the morning was because of you guys, so it looks like it is back to 97.1 for a while. Good luck and I will be praying for you.

Boy, When Randy has a bad day, he really has a bad day. I had just returned to being used to Randy and Spiff in the morning and now these yo yo's do it again. I cannot tell you how many years I have been a listener. Here is hoping that you are back on the air real soon in Atlanta where we can all listed again to you.

Hey Spiff, I'll be following your blogs on here, so keep posting! This separation anxiety's already killin' me! :) Jules

I am heart broken. How will I be able to get through my day without starting my day with the two of you. This morning I thought maybe what had happened to Randy yesterday had grossed both of you out and you were demanding a clean chair to sit in. But then I learned that you had been let go. What a stupid idea that was! Keep me posted on what will be a new favorite radio station, meaning any station that has Randy and Spiff on it, is my favorite station.

Nothing against Tripp West, he's a good afternoon guy. But, nothing wakes you up in the morning like laughing your ass off. I'll keep checking in.

If you need any more if that beer, just let me know. I'll cook you up a batch.

Gosh, I am so upset about not being able to hear the Randy and Spiff show, I have been listening to you two sense day 1 in Atlanta. I guess I will changing radio stations also, back to 97.1 not my favorite tho. Please keep posting, I am already in DT's.

Love you Guys

connie said...

Just one more reason to stop listening to AGH. I will miss you guys on my am commute.

Lee said...

Do the new owners not know the kind of following you two have? I guess I'll be looking for a new radio station to listen to in the morning. I'm running out of stations that haven't "let you go".

Anonymous said...

Some folks just have to go and mess with a good thing. I'll never understand that. When will someone out there realize that WE THE LISTENERS want Randy and Spiff? We have to keep station hopping to be able to hear the funniest duo on the air. Will be watching for you to surface again, until then, best wishes. You guys are awesome!!

that sucks wont be listening to that crummy station anymore... Miss hearing you say "get your crack out of the rack!"..

Holly B said...

I just cannot believe it. I love you guys -- you swayed me from the country stations in the AM! I laughed from the moment my "crack is out of the rack"! Take care my friends, and let us know when and where you land! You are definately being missed.

Anonymous said...

WOW, and I was out of town and came back and thought you were just on vacation.........geez guys, this is what the third time since I moved to Atlanta that I have to keep up with you two. You will be missed and I hope you get back on the radio SOON.

Anonymous said...

I can't believe this has happened again! I will now be changing stations - again. Please do let us know what is going on with you and where you finally land.

Anonymous said...

Here we go again. I've been following you around the radio dial for years. I'm with BeachBum, I guess we will have to go back to 97.1 and all it's repeats until you land a new job. Please keep us posted. You are the best thing that has happened to morning radio. Please keep us posted!!

My husband and I car pool to work each day. We have two stations we listen to 104.7 and 106.7 but now that RANDY and SPIFF are not on there we will not listen to 106.7
So until then our morning commute will only be with 104.7 with Kevin and Taylor. Try them until Randy and Spiff return.
When God closes one door two more open. Hang in there guys!

GiGi said...

I need the Friday song....it's just not TGIF without it! I can't wait til you're back on the air...hopefully it won't be too long! Miss you guys & love yall.

I loved 106.7 when it was the true oldies. They messed that up when they added the eighties.Now no Randy and Spiff.I hope we get to hear you guys on the radio again very soon!

Anonymous said...

I'm in shock! I can barely get to work at 6:15am already - now they take away the only way I manage to get there? What are they thinking? What will Atlanta do without Randy & Spiff? I've listened to you guys for YEARS (not saying how old I am either!). Time for a new radio station. 106.7 - bad move on your part. We are Randy & Spiff followers.

Let's see....we have a dumb government that can't make good sound decisions, we have a dumb DOT traffic Department right here in Atlanta with "Dumb New Hot" Lanes and now we added NEW DUMB OWNERS who have kicked out a great team Randy and Spiff. Very bad decision on their part. Dumb. How do people become so dumb anyways? Is their a school y'all go to? Randy and Spiff, Tripp and Kim......all good teams. Bring 'em back!!!!

It has definitely been a bad week. No Randy and Spiff in the morning on the drive to work. NO LAUGHTER!! NO DUFUS!! I will have to find a new radio station next week. I need the laughter to get pumping in the morning. Keep updating and find me a new station to listen to.

Randy,and Spiff,God bless both of you.you two have made the people of ATLANTA laugh for years.connie and i (john) have listend to you from day one,on fox 97.the new owners of 106.7 dont have a clue what in the hell they are doing, or what they have done. Tripp west cant hold your water,HE WILL NOT SURVIVE in the am slot,he is not in my opinion that good of an on air person,i have nothing against him personality,but his performance level,well lets just say it aint there.i am done with 106.7!!!WHEN THE HECK ARE STATIONS GOING TO LEARN ( WE THE LISTENERS WANT RANDY&SPIFF) HOPE TO HEAR YOU ON THE AIR AGAIN SOON, MAKING ATL LAUGH,AND SMILE---JOHN&CONNIE

I thought maybe you guys were on vacation, and the substitutes just forgot to announce it. Total bummer. The morning drive just isn't the same with you. Hope you land another gig here in Atlanta soon. I have followed you from the beginning. You guys are the best!!

Anonymous said...

Not a smart move, 106.7!!! I will listen to a new radio station starting tomorrow morning. I was hoping Randy and Spiff were taking a vacation, but when they weren't on air again today I checked the web site and then this blog. New owners obviously don't know how big the Randy and Spiff following is!

Anonymous said...

Tuesday morning last week was a disappointment when Tripp started talking about himself, himslef and himself. Nothing there to "peak" my interest in the early AM. Definitely not the right humor to keep us laughing and moving towards the expressway! Hoped it was just a break for the favorite trio. So surprised and disappointed in the "radio powers that be". That this is happening again to the three of you and all of the listeners that follow you is beyond logical. Randy , Spiff and Greg you made the ride to work tolerable. Tripp--not so much!! The first thing I always do at 5PM is change my car radio station. Now it will stay changed and I will be changng the one in the bathroom as soon as I get home! Like all the other posters I will be waiting to hear where the trio has landed!!!

Guys, this is the "mother of all bummers"...what the heck are these "knuckle-draggers" thinkin'!!! As has been said repeatedly, we are die-hard fans that have followed you guys from station to station...what these "new owners" obviously don't realize is, it's not the music, it's the "talent" that is playing it and entertaining us, the listening audience!! This is sad and we sincerely hope all three of you will be back together soon, doing what you do best...entertain your listening audience as no other "radio talent" in Atlanta has, to date!! Good luck and get back to work soon...we love ya!!

Dang, I leave for a week and what do you guys do??? AGAIN.. last time I had to go out of town for the week you left took awhile to find you and now - poof.. gone again.. what are those idiots at 106.7 thinking??? I have taken them off the radar and WONT listen to that station again!!! Hoping y'all end up with a great station in Atlanta so I wont go thru withdrawals for to long.. miss you guys!!!

Nancy said...

I am absolutely heartbroken!
We all need reasons to smile in
these tough times. You not only
started my mornings with a smile; but
more often than not with "out-of-control" laughter!
Please stay together and let us know when you find another radio home.
We'll be right here--waiting for you.
Hurry every chance you get. I'm gonna' pout until you return!

Anna Marie said...

How am I going to be ready to go to work without Randy and Spiff. If it weren't for the two of you every morning I would not make it thru the day. I am and will miss you both. Hope to hear soon that you are back on the radio. No more 106.7 me.

Well, back to the Bert show.

Donna said...

Imagine my disappointment when I returned from an out-of-state trip only to discover you guys had been "let go". Nothing against Tripp West - he's great for the ride home, but you guys provided the necessary sense of humor to get through the morning. And how will we ever know when it's Friday? You guys were the only reason I listended to 106.7 - headed back to The River for now. Hope you're back on the air soon!

Pat K. said...

Seriously irritated with 106.7. I found you guys after Kelly & Alpha were let go (but now Kelly is back, sans Alpha) at a competing station. I LOVED listening to both of you on my drive to work every morning. Bad decision on the station's part. Who else is going to call a Pepsi "pop" (I'm from Illinois!). I will stay tuned, you both are SORELY missed, and now I'm done with 106.7 in the morning, I'll go back to CD's! Pat

Anonymous said...

Sorry to see you guys go. I don't usually listen to FM, but when you guys are on I make it a point to tune in during my morning drive.

No Randy and Spiff? No listen. Easy.

Occupy WYAY!

Joann said...

How can a company fire two people who were just inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame? It defies LOGIC. I think they are slowly fazing out DJs. That would be horrifying! I mean, you guys already run computer music all night long, so you only have live shows during the daytime. I really hate this! Not sure I'll listen to this station anymore.....

Joann said...

Yep! Back to listening to my "canned" music on my Mp3. I'm boycotting the radio until Randy and Spiff are BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SantaRon said...

Time to think outside the box...You 2 go Internet Radio and I'll subscribe until you can develop an advertising support base. Then you can take turns firing each other just to stay in practice. Missing you guys already! SantaRon

Is 106.7 stuck on stupid or what

Anonymous said...

Randy & Spiff made my morning commute from Lawreceville to Midtwon almost bearable. After going through withdrawals for 2 weeks of you not being on 106.7 and thinking you were just taking a vacation, I went on "The Google" to see what was going on. I am erasing 106.7 from my programmed radio stations!

Kara D said...

NOOO!! Love you guys in the morning! You make waking up enjoyable!

Anonymous said...

Boy did 106.7 screw up! Let's all jamm the station phones and the station web site to let them known how upset we realy are. Power to the people Long live Randy and Spiff!

Anonymous said...

:( oh noooo! I too was one of the many thinking y'all were just on "vacation" until it had been too long without you guys. I googled it and found this :( Only morning show I listen to and enjoy. Hope you stay in atlanta and I hear the friday song again in the future.

Rose said...

We came back from vacation and what do we hear??? This guy Tripp West. At first we thought you guys were on vacation but no, they did it again!!! Now there is nothing to listen to in the morning again, all other morning shows suck!!! All of them! They are just plain idiotic and the music is VERY bad also. Well, I guess I start my day now with CDs until you two are back!

Nana Cheryl said...

Glad to know where we can keep up with you guys. Hope to hear you again very soon. Nothing like listening to you two. Nothing compares!

Jennifer H said...

Benn listening to you guys honstly since I was about 8 yers old, back when you were on Fox 97! Im 30 now! The oldies concert you guys uesd to throw was the first concert I ever went to!! I love Randy and Spiff! You guys are the best!!

Spiff said...

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Nothing new to report. Most likely nothing will happen til after the new year. Keeping our fingers crossed that we can stay in the Atlanta area.
