A mild-mannered background dad (Stan’s geologist father) before evolving into the show's chaotic, unhinged focal point. Married father of Stan and Shelley Marsh, and husband to Sharon Marsh 45 years old (born March 1). Formerly a geologist and fluvial geomorphologist for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); later founder and owner of Tegridy Farms (cannabis farming). Randy dives headfirst into extreme fads, hobbies, and social crusades with total, unhinged seriousness—whether it is cooking shows, "cock magic," microbrewing, or starting a hemp farm. He routinely treats minor middle-aged inconveniences or suburban dilemmas as sweeping, apocalyptic existential crises. He easily adopts whichever moral or political stance benefits him in the moment, completely rewriting his own logic to view himself as the hero (even when committing massive legal or ethical violations). He struggles heavily with self-control regarding binge drinking, marijuana, internet trends, and consumer impulses.
