One of my favorite shows of all time. I spent my 20s with those boys! I’ll admit I got tired of the drunk character after so many years but man, did Dunsworth throw himself into his character!! My favorite recent episodes were the ones where he wasn’t drunk, tho… I saw Randy & Lahey Live a year or so ago. Super mad/jealous that my friends - who had just recently gotten in to TPB because of ME - got to go to the pre-show cheeseburger party and not me. Shit!!! Gone too soon, that’s for sure. ---

Always appreciated the moral guidance provided by Trevor and Corey. A little let down by a Mike Clattenburg interview where he came across as the most pretentious, self-loving douche. R.I.P., J.D., may you encounter no shitstorms up there. (As that piano theme tinkles away) ---

Don’t even fuckin’ start with me today, Lahey! I’m not in the mood! Seriously though, RIP to an actor who played his character very well. ---

Earlier I had things to do, but now I’ve poured myself a glass of rum, and I say, “Here’s to you, Mr. Lahey! May the the great trailer-park supervisor in the sky give you peace… and some sexy Julian- types.”
