"Our fans are like rabid beasts that rub themselves with the nectar that is 'Psych.'"-Best. Quote. Ever. Great interview, and thanks for using the fans' questions!

I have to concur, you guys are rabid beasts! But, yes, in a good way. He also said that he knows everone thinks he has the best fans but he is so impressed by you guys. When approached, it's not the usual, it's always specific questions about episodes.

I guess you fans could call yourselves "Psychos."
RIMSHOT
I'd say "Glamberts," but I believe that is taken.

Great interview! Nice to hear insights from Roday Dude! And again, thank you for allowing us to participate! Bryna from Chicago (who is looking forward to the independent films Roday got cookin'!) And Squints, you are correct! Actually the writers named us "Psych-Os" when they opened the "Shawn Spencr" (without the R) Twitter account. And yes, we are a rabid but kind bunch of Psych-Os! LOL!

@Squits: No rimshot needed. That, sir, is true.

@BlackTsChica: Yes, "rabid but kind" is a good term.

Nice interview, Mike. However, I think he's less hot now that I know he's nothing like his character. Must stop having crushes on fictional characters...

the Psych-O's are happy! Thanks for an amazing interview with our favorite guy. Next up Dule Hill? Maggie Lawson? Timothy Omundson? Sage Brocklebank? i personally think you should just make a tour of the cast ;)

Awesome, awesome stuff Mike! We are so thrilled that us Psych-o's were able to help you form this interview. This is great to get our questions answered! Mindel, from Virginia here! And it's great to hear that he is such a grounded, solid guy behind the cameras, not surprised, but pleased to hear it! Rabid beasts, lol! That we are, glad to hear we haven't scared him off yet! Thanks again, we got some great questions answered and obviously have tons more to look forward to from our favorite Dude! And I concur, PeepingNee, let's get the ball rolling on the Psych cast tour!

Awesome interview. I love the way you managed to balance keeping it interesting, informative and personal and yet not too personal or superflous. Thx for using our questions. Btw I second the cast tour. That'd be epic, and the Psych o's would gladly induct you into their wall of fame, only reserved for Hawain pineaaple, Steve Franks, and Andy Berman. James sounds like a nice and enagaging guy to hang out with and that's saying something for someone in the entertainment proffession.

No problem! We did enjoy it, it made our day! The thing about Psych is, you are like the gunpowder, just lay it out and the rest will follow! We are a "rabid but kind" bunch for sure! I hope you are enjoying the madness! :D

Amazing interview! I have recently became a fan of Psych because of my good friend Kristen...I always thought James was an amazing actor,but with this interview I can now say I see James in a whole new light! Great questions and even better answers!

So far on Facebook, 518 folks "LIKE" the interview and 78 people commented on it. Folks love the "rabid" comment. (that alone should be any record for responses! LOL! We're just trying to get folks to post their comments here too). :)
So again, great job and we hope to see your interview with Dule and the other cast folks soon!

Popping in to comment again because I can, but I feel like I should. Just want to thank you for conducting a wonderful interview. You balanced it well and it really brought James' personality out. And you seem like quite the funny guy as well ;-) And again, thank you for letting us take part in this.

That was a great interview. A huge 'thank you' to both participants. Mr. Pulse for making the whole thing a possibility and choosing interesting and insightful questions, and to Mr. Roday for taking time out of his busy schedule to interact with fans of the show. The fact that you're 'giving back' says a lot about your character.
Everything I've read so far about season 4 of Psych leads me to believe that the show is going nowhere but up in quality. Thanks to Mr. Roday and his fellow cast and crew for bringing such a refreshingly creative show to life. I can hardly wait until August.
By the way, everyone knows the "Psych-Os" are bigger in Texas.
