Fez was terrible toward the end of his run ... sorry, but he was like a potted plant

Naah he stuck with it and went out very honorably

Ron carried him ... not bashing, just trying to be objective

They made me laugh more with dead air in those last years than most shows can do at all

The "Dead Air" Fez shows were 100 times better than any episode of Bennington.

Which was nothing to do with Fez. That’s on Ron, Pepper and Shelby. And Kokomo Joe.

It had everything to do with Fez.

Kokomo Joe was a fucking living breathing abortion.

"It's a full house today. That's the beauty of the show."

Brothaman: Thats the beauty of this show and the genius of Ant & I, we know if our guests are funny then it will still bring us and the show compliments for being good.

Comedian: Speaking of funny stories lemme tell-

Tits: HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON So yeah we are fine with not being the center of attention. We let our guests shine unlike HOWARDD

Comedian: Yeah we are able to tell funny jokes like -

Mafioso: WAIT WAIT WAIT I just gotta say that we totally dont care if you guys outshine us and we dont want to step on our guests

Snowy wants in

SNOWAYYYYYY

"Hey guys I gotta jump in, cuz I don't wanna lose this call." As if the caller has the the radio show on hold

Poor Snowy in Michigan. He has become the poster boy for Opie’s failures.

No fuck him.

Durning the I Marion melt down days Opie read Snowys line and said “oh shit I should have let you say it, Snowy” then that faggot Snowy says “it’s okay Opie, yeah did that lady’s attention alarm go off” in the same tone Opie said it.

Fuck Snowy.

I have to start listening. I see the shows on YouTube all the time.

i wish i could listen for the first time

lucky duck

No shit. I remember when I first got into R&F. The moment Ant got fired I gave up on that show. Old clips were getting stale and it became more apparent than ever how terrible Opie is. I needed something new. I’d always enjoyed R&F. Found it weird but funny and when O&A would talk about it I found it really interesting. Once I took the deep dive... it was an epic 3 year listening journey. Became familiar w/ all the characters and inside jokes. Knew when it was a shoot and when it was a work. Just brilliant fucking radio.

If anyone reading this hasn’t dug into the Ron and Fez archives.... you’re depriving yourselves of genius, weirdness and hilarity.

you listen to the wnew full shows yet?

everyone come see the greatest show

you listen to the wnew full shows yet?

Yeah the NYC callers really made it the greatest show in the history of radio, ESD days were great but the hayseeds just couldn't get a comedy pyramid done

true

Yup. You would sit through hours of normal, funny radio banter with Pepper Hicks in anticipation of Ron finally looking over and saying, “Locked up today Fez? What’s wrong buddy?” And the weirdness would ensue.

(Earl Voice) Naw!

As much as those last few years were still good and could be excellent from time to time... the late 2000’s were fucking amazing. Before that was great too but if you want the best era of that show it’s between 2006 and early 2010. Those years were bonkers and some of the best radio you’ll ever hear.

Many, many, many people have said that the years of Ron and Fez that had East Side Dave and Black Earl on them were the best years. And they’re absolutely right. Incredibly funny and engaging radio/entertainment.

all were good eras

its like jews vs Christians vs muzzies

good shit

still stand by original point

I mean the Midnight Rider bit was kind of hilarious. They would never admit it was dave but everyone knew and they kept it up for way longer than it made sense to.

Is there an "essential listening" list like there was for O&A?

you can find all shows on archive.org

listen to the cakehorn incident and this.

Start at the first show of 2007. In the first month, you'll be hooked.

first few months of 2007 were insane. Earl starts fainting, Master Po chokes everyone out, Dave gets hot sauced, Dave breaks up with his girl, Dave leaves the show, Midnight Rider comes in, Dave fights the Midnight Rider, Paul O and his wife are having horrible fights on the air almost daily, the shitty Christmas gift, Fez farts himself awake... just off the top of my head.

Don't forget, Dave starts dating his future cheating ex wife, Intern Revolution, Earl fucks up the live event planning, Earl gets fired, Gail O kills herself.

Earls grandmother

Actually Ron, my picture's on the bottle of maple cum...

N-E-W, pease hold.

N-E-W, pease hold.

This is a good introduction bit. Ron keeps it straight all the way through.

It’s a good job they had Earl

No they did not, they were great. But now.... No fezzy to bounce off on or point at in some way, but we get his unfunny daughter, simply because she is his daughter and a fucking horseman

I'm hoping a brief return to greatness when she leaves for her baby.

it's highly unlikely, but it would be amazing if Fez would fill in while she's gone. the first and only time he's called into Bennington is when Gail announced her pregnancy.

I want to hear Fez talk about the fall of O&A

And East Side Dave's divorce.

Internet would go crazy, Ron stays clear of having Fez in because it is what we all would rather. He knows it.

I used to buy into the “hole” maxim. And I took healthy shits on Gail at the beginning. But she has won me over. I find her laugh is endearing and she can score many assists during conversations and especially when Ron is laying the boots into Chris and Vito. She’s intelligent too, which has got to be the reason why she drives so many basement pests so nuts. Also... the current show format of bringing one or two comedian guests in for a segment or two works. And if you treat all the satellite shows like podcasts and selectively listen from the On Demand list.... you can avoid overdosing on any show or host or guest that triggers or bothers you or spoils your plate of tendies. ;)

There is something you find cute about her I guess, she isn't good.

I hope she leaves the show after she has her baby. Post pardum depression Gail B will drop the satellite out of the sky with the shitty radio.

I hope you had fun trying to be insightful, faggot.

I did. But not as much fun as it was to feel the adrenaline rush of being called a faggot anonymously online. That was great.

Gail is okay on her own but my problem with her is Chris Stanley was already there to agree 100% with whatever Ron says. You don't need two parakeets to repeat Ron's opinion in the room

Gail is ok in small doses, but she really shouldn't be second mic.

I like Gail, but I'm looking forward to her maternity leave .. He'll surely bring in someone else in studio to bounce off of

and a fucking horseman

they're called centaur americans you racist.

Good for them, the comedians were such ingrates: Producing hours of content without pay just for plugs, but where are they when you can't offer them anything at all?

They'll laugh at every joke for $750 a show.

Fez contributed more to the show by being silent than Opie ever did with 50 buttons and endless callers

"That's all I got"

"Ok, buddy... 866 Ron-0-Fez. That's 866 Ron-0-Fez."

We got computer Fez taking over the show today

RON BORINGTON

We heard you

Guess I don't need my reading glasses

Ron & Fez was the superior show by every measurement. It’s not even fucking close.

Smiling and waving and lookin so fat

That’s because Earl was a stereotypical lazy black man and wouldn’t book guests.

Their show was terrible. Ronnie B's show now is less terrible, but still really bad. There's a reason he's on late.

Just a guy and his man-dog.

I listened to that entire segment from the O&A part were earl and the kike midget got into a fight until the end the other night when I was drinking.

So fucking good.

Virgin O&A vs. Chad Ron and Fezzzzzzz

People say the last few years of R&F were garbage but I still found Fez crying, coming out, and getting into half-worked fights with Stanley and the interns entertaining as fuck. Pepper's 30th birthday show made me laugh more than anything O&A did in their last five years on radio.

There are some Shelby vs fez moments that were just insane

I enjoyed Fez taking Shelby to Thanksgiving dinner so that Fez could call him his twink.

Shelby's description of Fez's sister wearing dark sunglasses at dinner because of her light sensitivity as like Jack Nicholson sitting courtside at the laker's game cracks me up. Just the weirdness in the air at that table

It was some of the most compelling radio I've ever heard. I miss checking my phone during the silence to see if the stream stopped.

The creamiest, dreamiest soft ice cream You get from Mister Softee...

Come on now, you dont have at least one good laugh from the shit Patrice or the rest said in his last year of life

Ron, Pepper and lips-kid shooting the shit was always great. When they were not about to kill each other, the show was a blast

I miss Biglips Badglands.

Never jumped to R&F. Where would you suggest one to start?

2003

Recently went back and started listening to 2006. ESD dating ET and trying to hide his jelly and dog fucking from her is always a good place to start

YouTube the Ron and fez live reads

Big carby was always so mean to little carby...

I want to start listening, but not sure where to begin.

I miss soundboard Fez.

Not a good show.

OnA may have been funnier but R&F was more addictive.

My favorite ron and fez moment was when fez kept saying Matty ice and ron told him to stop.

well, Fez scared most of the comedians away.

Big Jay had some stupid conflict with Fez. Later on LOS he talked about the super wierd vibe in the room from Fez. So bad he went to the restroom during breaks and just stood around in there.

The Fez Vs Legion Of Skanks Saga is worth a listen, Ant was really fucked up and made a bunch of jokes and Fez couldn't get mad at Ant (the same way he won't turn on Ron even when Ron antagonizes him) so Fez goes hard at Jay & Dave for no real reason.

That was always the best when Ron would be shitting all over Fez and just saying mean shit to him, and then Dave or Chris or an intern would laugh or make a joke and Fez would just get over the top crazy angry at them, but never on Ron.

This one always cracks me up. The way Fez just immediately attacks Chris for something Ron is obviously doing.

ew, you're cumming through a frog?

Is this the same PauxFas from Wackbag?

Nah

Thats right all they needed was one black and one ginger.

Wish I had listened to them more and O&A less.

Ronnie is the shit stirrer that Opie always wanted to be.

To each his own, but /u/eastsidedan aka Hosp, the gay Sean Connery was every bit as instrumental to the success of the R&F show as the 14 comedians were to O&A. Just ask him

They’re two different shows for two different crowds to be honest.

But I liked that Ron & Fez actually seemed like they actually enjoyed shit instead of O&A bitch fitting everything that isn’t “muh edgy!”

Kokomo Joe was a fucking living breathing abortion.

No fuck him.

Durning the I Marion melt down days Opie read Snowys line and said “oh shit I should have let you say it, Snowy” then that faggot Snowy says “it’s okay Opie, yeah did that lady’s attention alarm go off” in the same tone Opie said it.

Fuck Snowy.
