Randy

"I think your vocals are amazing today, mate."'' "I think his are amazing all the time." "I think yours are better, most of the time." "That was a back-handed compliment. What are you like?" ''"I love you."

- Rye Beaumont and Andy Fowler

Randy was the pairing involving Rye Beaumont and Andy Fowler (Rye/Andy). They could also be fully referred to as Randy Fowmont, though this was rarely used. They both were the first two original members of RoadTrip, staying for each lineup of the band.

Being one of the most popular ships in the fandom, their friendship was speculated a lot. It could also be made as a private joke, as one member would occasionally ask, "Is Randy real?" in one instance, Jack saying it to Andy, as it has been frequently questioned in livestreams. Andy and Rye have explained that they acted close and affectionate because of their history, and noticed that the fans loved Randy, which caused them to act sillier together. Andy elaborated that each friendship in the band has their own dynamic, as well as Rye naturally being affectionate with everyone.

RoadTrip
"First impression of the boys, fantastic question. Rye, didn't like him, at all. Thought he was rude, thought he was abrasive, but I saw a really good potential in him. And then after about two weeks, I understood him, and we've been really close ever since."

- Andy Fowler

On January 25, 2015, Rye attended the ViewMyGig event in Bristol while in the group State of Mind (later renamed AddiXion), which Andy was the headlining act for. This was where they first met, Rye also claiming in a 2016 post of meeting Andy a year ago. Andy at the time was in the boy band Overload Generation, which officially split up a month later in February. On March 20th, Rye announced his departure from AddiXion for the beginning of RoadTrip, stating that he was "journeying on a bigger adventure". It can be estimated that they met up for the new band near the end of March, as Rye would've left the State of Mind band, or at least when he announced his departure. For the first two weeks, they admitted of not getting along. Rye stated that they both were quite opinionated, and Andy mentioned how Rye made a joke about his weight on the second day they ever met, which he took very badly, it being the time he disliked Rye the most. During this time, too, Andy revealed in a 2019 livestream that he had a eating disorder in the first 2-3 months of RoadTrip, which may explain why he took it badly. Following the departure of international member Kason Coder, they remained as the first two of the original lineup. Through many trialists, the lineup was gradually assembled in November 2016 as themselves, Brooklyn Wyatt, Mikey Cobban, and Jack Duff.

It is unknown at which point the ship started to gain popularity within the fandom, though they publicly kissed several times, including in a vlog, in a livestream, and on stage. Due to the response from the Roadies, they continued doing moments for the camera. On one occasion, they were asked if they were bothered by the shipping, to which they responded they both were fine with it, and it didn't affect their friendship. Later in a November 2019 livestream, Andy said he was comfortable with it, as people could believe what they wanted. In March 2020, they both addressed that their relationship was purely platonic, and "love women," which may have to do with the drama in the fandom at the time, where a few shippers posted negatively in response to Rye's relationship. As of October 2020, both are in their own relationship, Rye dating Honor Lamberty, and in June 2020, Andy confirmed that he is in a relationship, name not revealed for privacy reasons.

Speculation
"I think me and Andy forever will have like a solid connection, such a large part of each other's lives for such a like long and serious period. No matter what, there's always going to be something there. Uh, but never in any way was it something even remotely close to being, like boyfriend and boyfriend or anything that. Like it just, it never was [...] You got ten, five-second, thirty-second snippets here and there that sold some sort of story."

- Rye Beaumont

A popular theory was they both were playing on their relationship for the fans, but realised their romantic attraction for each other eventually. Another was being involved in the early stages of the band, but breaking things off because of their career and forced to stay closeted by management. Moments of them together have often been created, one YouTube channel in particular, 'Sweetness to Go,' which did many compilations that gained popularity and recognition, as future fans through the ship discovered and began to support the band. In reaction videos, people have observed their closeness. Andy admitted that he watched Randy moments over YouTube, and even commented on one that theorised their relationship.

Over a livestream, Andy vocalised that the ship got out of hand, as many believed they had some form of an intimate relationship with one another. Despite him confirming he was straight multiple times, there has been speculation. In one livestream, Andy said he wouldn't rule out a relationship with someone based on their gender, where this may have led to confusion about his sexuality, though afterwards adding he was straight. In another he replied that he would date a boy, back in 2018, when the question was asked―but this may have not been serious, or was taken as a random scenario. He once said that if he was gay, his preference would be guys with a "rugged, bad boy edge," because it brings it out in him, and near his height. It was guessed that he was pansexual, meaning sexual, romantic or emotional attraction towards people regardless of their sex or gender identity. This speculation has gone far to point out what Andy wore for Wellies and Wristbands, the colours associated with pansexuality—pink, yellow, and blue, which may have been "a hint". In February 2020, he addressed with the tweet, "it's frustrating that personally i know who i am, but because have an ideology of what i 'should be' and won't budge from it," reminding people that he is the only one who knows his own sexual orientation, and no one should decide or assume for him. He is usually reserved about his romantic life, and is known to be supportive of the LGBTQ+ community.

Trivia

 * It has been known that the ship helped several fans come out/come to terms with their sexuality.
 * They both were the oldest and the first two original members of the band.
 * Their first known cover song together was "Do It Again".
 * They both have nicknames for each other, "Mr Foo Foo" and "Mr Bleumangue".
 * They've jokingly called themselves 'DaSxc2' back in 2017, which Andy later on referred to in his birthday post for Rye in 2020.
 * There are people who have watched Randy moments over YouTube, and believed that they are a couple, without knowing the band at all.
 * Andy taught Rye how to play guitar.
 * Andy's first Instagram post with another person is Rye.
 * Ironically, Rye made a joke about Andy's weight on the second day they have ever met, and later in 2019, upon Andy commenting on Rye's second-ever Instagram post, he teased Andy again.
 * They have alluded a few times to Disney's film Lady and the Tramp with the "Spaghetti kiss" (where they eat food on both ends and meet up for a kiss). The first was when they were in America, and actually did kiss, and later, one in their "Iconic Movie Moments" video and their "Me!" cover. It was revealed later that Rye didn't actually like the food in America, but did it anyway.
 * In 2018, Andy tweeted "hbd rye yeah?" and later in 2020 similarly said, "to @RealRyeBeaumont happy birthday yeah?"
 * Andy once said Rye will never admit he's wrong, never ignore his instincts, and that he's spontaneous and just goes for it and suffers the consequences.
 * Andy's lyric for Rye is 'Something 'bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman'.
 * Rye's lyric for Andy is 'Come with me baby' from their song, "After the Show".
 * Andy once stated over a livestream that his pet peeve was when Rye at any point of the day wakes up and does not use an inside voice.
