Candi & Randy remember the year that was 2013. What were the big news stories?  What came on strong?  What flopped?  What surprised you? Duck Dynasty? Miley Cyrus? What were the big stories for you this year? What were your favorite songs/artists/movies/actors?  We discuss all this and more. This will be our last show before taking a hiatus from The Candi & Randy Show.  With individual projects looming on the horizon for both of us, we'll be taking a break for the month of January.  At that point, Candi will return with several rotating co-hosts as Randy continues on an extended hiatus.  But Randy will be returning for special appearances depending on schedules and to fill in when Candi takes time off for her upcoming book release. So grab a cocktail, glass of wine, whatever...  and join us as we laugh and enjoy our look back at 2013, and look forward to 2014. Call in with your comments and questions at (818) 495-6931.

Annette Funicello will always be known for her time on the "Mickey Mouse" club, her top 100 hits, and her iconic beach movies with Frankie Avalon. Those "beach movies" - "Beach Party" (1963), "Muscle Beach Party" (1964), "Bikini Beach" (1964), "Beach Blanket Bingo" (1965), and "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini" (1965) - became a new genre of light-hearted fun in the 1960s. Even though Annette released over 30 albums, she never considered herself a "singer."  We disagree. Listen in as we play several of her hits like "Blame It On The Bossa Nova," "Tall Paul" and "Beach Blanket Bingo." You can explore much of Annette's career on Amazon. Candi and Randy celebrate Annette's life, music and career.  We also discuss Multiple Sclerosis, the disease that had such a horrible impact on Annette's life.

Hundreds of pets die every year while flying on airlines across the nation. According to the law, pets are considered luggage. Out of the major airlines based in the US, United Airlines has the highest rated "pet safe" program. However, last year their program made headlines when model Maggie Rizer lost her beloved pet during a flight. Just days afterwards, Florida resident Michael Jarboe lost his Neopolitan Mastiff due to neglect on another United flight. Now Janet is running a campaign on Facebook "United almost killed my greyhound". With fresh eyes, Michael Jarboe and others have received hundreds of thousands of shares on Facebook, and tens of thousands of comments. Join Candi and Randy as they explore pet safety in the air.
