To be fair, as much as they talk about "going past 10," am I the only one who is up early enough to know that they usually always (pretty much every day) start at about 6:15 - 6:20am? So when they go late, they are, at the very least, only making up their time. So when Opie says "WE WENT 10 MINUTES PAST GUYS!," they're still not filling their timeslot

So when Opie says "WE WENT 10 MINUTES PAST GUYS!," they're still not filling their timeslot It really is incredible that Opie thinks it's such an outrage that a company would not let him take as many "sick days" as he wants whenever he wants without starting to dock his pay. They work less than 20 hours a week and act like they have the biggest raw deal of all time.

I'm new to the Ron&Fez show... My introduction was this year's jocktober, then the blueberry incident, and then listening to the link in the OP and then a few other older recordings that I found on youtube and... What exactly is Fez's deal? When and why did he basically shut down and stop participating on the show? Was it before or after he came out? Any insight into Fez would be helpful

When the decline started depends on who you ask and how long they've been listening, really; when I started listening in early 2009 I liked Fez, but many people say the decline started before that.

His problems first appeared on air in 2002 when they were at WNEW, things began to amplify when they moved to Washington DC (2004?) and he went completely off the rails when he had his first heart attack a few weeks after their first XM broadcast. He's never been able to get a handle on it after that point and it's been worked into the character of Fez Whatley.

If I remember correctly from what they said when Fez came out on the air, Fez first came out to Ron in Manassas (when they were at WJFK). So Fez being locked up has been going on a long time. I can say though, having grown up in the DC area and having listened to the show since they first started on WJFK, Fez was amazing. Amazing. He was so incredibly funny. Even my parents loved the show because it was so clever, creative and unique. I really wish the show could be at the level of genius it was on FM. Because goddamn was it good.

UncleMonkey posted:Yeah. Unbelievable. gently caress Sirius. Howard sues the company and hardly ever works and they bend over backwards to suck his dick. Meanwhile, they do everything they can to smother new, creative (and cheap) content. This company is such a joke. What the gently caress? Did he say anything about the Ron and Fez channel? He made it sound like there was good news for him on facebook. Riocast show is better anyways. Gabe sucked and I don't know why Davey Mac wanted him there. Roy and sean-o are great though.

I'm not a sports fan either, and I never miss an episode. Dave's show actually has very little to do with sports most of the time. To the point where you occasionally hear Pepper in the background saying "Isn't this supposed to be a sports show?" Sports might take up 25% of the time, if that much. They talk way more about drugs, booze, music, movies, Dave jerking off, and Pepper's cock.

Could it be O&A no longer want him on the channel if Ron and Fez are leaving?

Kreg posted:Could it be O&A no longer want him on the channel if Ron and Fez are leaving? It could be. I imagine there is some backstage drama going on between the two shows. I like Davey Mac and Pepper, but I couldn't listen to their sports show. Too much cumsies and not enough sports. On top of which, most of the sports chat was super-local to the NY area. There is a market for their concept, but they needed to be more nationally focused. My 2 cents.

It's probably fallout from all the Fez paranoia. Having a friend come out and accuse you of plotting to get them fired has got to hurt on some level. That said, I don't see O&A doing anything to alienate Ron. I'm guessing all of this confusion is nothing more than O&A's typical response to running their channel, which is a combination of 'too much effort; never mind' and 'gently caress it, I'm going home.'

Kreg posted:Could it be O&A no longer want him on the channel if Ron and Fez are leaving? I don't remember the exact phrasing but they said management told them something like "we want to see how things on the channel shake out first". So probably a bit of management and a bit of OandA using an opportunity to reset the channel as theirs only right now.

I remember a funny moment years later when Louis CK was in studio, Maury was on TV the studio and it was the Stalker Patti episode, and Louie notices it and goes "Is...is that Stalker Patti on Maury?" and they just completely brush it off. "Huh? Oh, yeah, that is her. Anyway, we have this audio..."

Is there anyway for management to step in and tell them to shut the gently caress up with the bitching? I really don't wanna hear OPIE rant all next week. Hey at least now the show will probably start with Jimmy there.

But I could've sworn it was something so low that I had respect for him and pepper more. I also remember 50 bucks must be under the table because it is so astronomically know that I couldn't believe a big corporation would pay talent like that.

You didn't look forward to the same awful "Next we have a guy who has an addiction to hookers, Jim in New York...." joke every show? They really desperately need better producers/Sirius management. Which isn't a complaint about Sam/Erock and the rest or a "LET THE BOYS BE THEMSELVES" thing, but they need someone with some amount of authority to tell them to stop the incessant bitching and moaning over such nonsense, because it seems every major radio show that goes down the shitter is largely due to the host(s) becoming so big they no longer have to listen to anyone and just become self-absorbed shitbags.

I bet that Fez will be out of the show by 1 pm. Try to talk for about 30 minutes, sputter in stuff for about 20, get silent & Ron berates him, then goes blank until the show ends.
