Roland seems like he is secretly horribly depressed. He is massively obese, lives alone, has no love life that we know if, gets really stressed about his job. So he just eats and drinks himself to death.

We can only hope.

Which is why O&A don't bust his balls: They know he can't take it like E-Rock for example. His whole arrogant persona is an act designed to hide his frail and depressive ego. It's so pathetic and disingenuous and really hard to listen to. I wish they'd keep him out of studio completely.

I just can't imagine that long of a solitary lifestyle. Has Roland ever had a gf? I've never heard any mention of it. It seems he hangs out with Troy and the sluts he hangs out with and "they all love him" but it's more in the funny cuddly teddy bear way. Then they go off and fuck other guys. Yep he's a ticking time bomb, that alone would drive a sane man cray.

i know he's become a foodie to make himself feel above other people for once in his life, he cant look better than most, he cant fuck girls, cant do anything really but eat, so he only makes food friends who only use him for promotion, and then he goes to events where people are talking to girls and having a fun time to shit on the food cause thats all he can do to get a laugh.

i know plenty of fat people who arnt complete cunts like roland who date pretty good looking girls, you just gotta be more than your looks, patrice could pull it off, so i dont feel bad for him because he acts like such an ass.

he's like that retarded kid in high school thats such a rude ass that you dont try to be nice to him.

i would rather have pedestrian taste in food than a pedestrian overeating problem and a shit personality.

I agree. No reason to beat up a fragile guy, but listening to him on the show is just hard to get through.

There was one time (I think on an aftershow?) that Troy was talking about this "hot" girl who had a crush on Roland, who was apparently seriously pursuing him...

Some stories don't really pass the small test.

That probably ended with Roland sitting in front if his giant tv with blue balls and 9,000 calories of carry out.

I LOL'D :)

I think it was a stripper in Cleveland - the down for whatever trip

I'm going off memory, but I think the one I'm thinking if was a Sirius employee.

yeah but his cat can talk. cookie...cookie...cookie....kiss

Kiss...kiss..skippy...skip #opiefez waaaahhhuhuhh

Roland has a voice you can play for laughs a bit, but he seems to be a bit of a shithead. It's really awful to be arrogant when you have so little to have arrogance for.

he's just overcompensating for his insecurities.

[deleted]

no i'd say arrogance is truly believing you're the best at everything you do. roland's is faux-arrogance.

He is the epitome of disgusting and his unwarranted ego is highly frustrating to listen to.

I hope he chokes on a pedestrian sandwich.

A "Costco-esque" sandwich.

Fuck that guy.

Someone get him a Quizzno's sub and fill it with jacks.

He comes off as so unlikeable - he's basically the male version of Lady Di, in terms of his general "nothing going for him" combined with his complete obliviousness to that fact.

Well, at least he's worked in the past decade. And would probably die before drinking a natty ice. God she's a fucking waste.

I'd love for the boys to start sending some of the fat jokes his way, though. He's had a pass because he's actually obese as shit, and sensitive, but at this point, fuck him. You can't be as rude as he is, to everyone, without catching some flack yourself.

They really treated him with kid gloves the time he cried on the air. Anyone else would've gotten killed for it. Reading between the lines - apparently his family is connected in the entertainment industry? He seems like the ultimate "give but can't take" guy - he goes way, way below the belt with other people, but gets coddled.

Let's be clear on one thing, though - Lady Di is a sensation. She's a real up and comer in this industry. I think the road trip could be where she breaks out and really lets her star shine.

For those wondering, here's Roland breaking down:

Roland Breaks Down on O&A 6-8-11

tyft buddy - too lazy to do it myself

Perhaps as a group the listeners should direct some of the photoshop love his way?

Maybe shop his head on to Lord Sir's body and congratulate him on the weight loss?

I hate that motherfucker, I turn the show off whenever there is an extended bit with him. He is a disgrace to the show.

There's nothing interesting or compelling about him on his own. The boys can turn it into something for about two minutes.

I wouldn't miss the guy, haha. Roland seems like an insufferable douche, guy needs to eat a pot cookie or some mushrooms and examine his behavior.

The elephant (oh Erock) in the room is that he's probably morbidly obese and is eating himself to death...

During their Montreal trip I noticed Roland was sitting alone in the lobby, seemingly doing nothing so I figured I'd very briefly go up to him and mention that I enjoyed his Food Court shows.

I barely got 2 words in before I was summarily dismissed. I left him alone and he just continued sitting there in silence while Sam, Erock and Troy continued talking to the fans.

What an unpleasant weirdo.

Jeez.

wow here you are trying to be nice saying his show was good even though it was as crowded as YKWD but with even more unfunny people, chefs and actors are the most boring people on radio.

Wow, so he's the show version of everyone they rag on Jimmy not getting an autograph from, got it.

I found it particularly strange considering it was an event for the fans and he was sitting in an area which indicated he could be approached.

That bit when he was trying to sing Metallica was some of the worst radio I've heard them put out.

Between his voice and his attitude I couldn't even listen. One of the most douche ladden exchanges I've ever heard.

He genuinely sounds like he has a personality disorder stemming from his vagina to his mouth.

Edit: Seriously, he sounds like a pathetic person that was over coddled as a youth and projects his insecurities on to others by insulting their food. His only use to the show appears to be holding movie theater seats for his bosses.

He is the real life Eric Cartman, and if he were on different show the guys would cherish the act of ripping him into emotional slivers of the man that mommy tells him he is.

I agree, high doses of magic mushrooms and the Joe Rogan podcast are needed.

Would also like some video of him eating said mushrooms in front of Joe, and upon insulting their preparation Joe roundhouse kicking him in the face.

Now I'm done.

yeah maaaaaaan, joe rogan is the TRUTH maaaaaan

He is the truth that Rolando needs.

Joe Rogan is half a douche that attracts full on douche listeners. Go eat some oats and do some squats.

Do you prefer to squat out of a rack or a mono?

Powerful /u/Novelty23.

Or gets hit by a truck, either outcome would be sufficient.

I would feel sorry for the truck.

Rolando the Large's insurance would need to take care of the bill as it would no-doubt cause the airbags to inflate and injur the driver.

Probably moan about the quality of the truck that ran him over too.

I recently watched that most embarrassing tapes video that jasonayeiter uploaded and shit...that picture of Roland like 8 years ago is horrifying. He's fucking ballooned out, lost all of his hair but retained that creepy soft whisper of his.

I think he's secretly gay, it's kind of sad.

GAAA HEE HEE HEE!

It's like the Pillsbury Dough Boy became a diabetic cry-baby with a microphone.

Remember that time he cried?

"What a puss." - Fez

what a blubbering bitch

Eating is so good.

Roland is a waste of space. Opie always praises him for getting celebrities on the show, but a lot of the time the celebrities suck and its not like roland booked them anyway most the celebrities are already there pushing there shit on other shows. Not to mention the numerous times celebrities have blown roland and the show off for howard stern.

ITT: Pizza party!!

I secretly hope no one calls him that ever again.

A choo choo severs his head head from his body body.

I hate his fake laugh.

i would like to see roland do more food court episodes

That show is the best. He just hangs up on callers randomly

There's a reason he likes hanging out with Sal. And Troy

The fat cunt lives on fast food and Pepsi and thinks he is a foodie.

I do agree with Roland about food. It's not hard to eat something truly delicious instead of 7-11 taquitos.

yeah but being a pretentious ass about it is totally different, he acts like he's eating with kings and queens and we're all scum, he eats at trendy NY places, and the only reason he's friends with all these chefs is because he books a radio show and talks about restaurants all day, none of those chefs would be friends with him otherwise.

its like being friends with a drug dealer, theres no real friendship there.

Jeez, so much hate around here...

[deleted]

He's a real life character, he's one of a kind, how could you hate him?

No he's not. He's a disgusting creep.

I just hate what he's become, this obsession with the cronut guy...I miss the old Roland

Because for whatever reason, people who listen to this show think it should completely match what they want, all the time, including the host's and employee's personal lives.

Whatever reason = Paying Subscriber.

The show is a big part of the reason I pay for service. I don't listen to Howard.

So when I get upset that they endorse the guy from Half Baked shittty xmas song, or go in depth with Rebecca Black's new video it's because as a paying subscriber this was the kind of shit I originally signed up and tuned in to NOT hear in the first place.

Bitch ass entitled Roland included.

Furthermore, I don't care about who does what behind the scenes at the show. Keep those idiots behind the scenes (also don't care if they get a new wall - I work in a fucking cubicle, fuck your wall).

Cut all this bullshit and bring out the entertaining guests.

Sam's scratchy mid-pubescent voice is the only acceptable addition to the group.

What does this even mean in this context? No one is complaining about the show; they're complaining about the attitude of an ancillary member.

I hate a lot of the staff but Roland gets a pass.

We can only hope.

Which is why O&A don't bust his balls: They know he can't take it like E-Rock for example. His whole arrogant persona is an act designed to hide his frail and depressive ego. It's so pathetic and disingenuous and really hard to listen to. I wish they'd keep him out of studio completely.
