They used sound effects constantly back in the WNEW days. I'm glad they've toned it down. I haven't listened in awhile though. Been audio-booking these passed several months. Anything good that I missed?

Am I misremembering but didn't their old intro say "Jim Norton, lover of transvestites" and then get changed to say "lover of the transgendered" instead?

That's because Jim only sucks dicks on which tits are bolted, rather than ones only draped with blouses.

Pepper's fear of being alone with children reminded me of Jdub. Except Jdub took it further and claimed to be "afraid of children" period. Him and Lenay D (who BTW has a youtube channel giving advice on school supplies) in studio together was good radio.

That's exactly why it's still funny for me. Because you'd think people would be on to that by now but so many still aren't. So either we get a dummy that takes the bait or we get someone that goes, "Yeah, gently caress you Jimmy, I'm not falling for that. I hosed up. I'm out." And either way it's still funny.

Ron's been leaving Fez out to bomb for the past few weeks or so and as a whole it's actually pretty funny. Also, Ron keeps saying that the bosses love Fez (and don't listen to the show) so don't expect anything to happen in April.

Yeah but he's been saying that in the "infer the opposite of what I'm saying" voice. Fez claims he'd take a 50% paycut so he could continue to be Ron's retarded gay cuckold and keep anchoring the show, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them lowball him and he accepts.

In a three month probationary period, he's had at least a half dozen meltdowns that have involved HR and his bosses. That can't be doing him any favors.

Is Fez just not funny anymore? He used to be genuinely quick witted and funny. Now he's only funny as the whipping boy of the show. He's like Bobo. What happened?

Basically Fez started having heart attacks, his Dad died and he decided he's gay for real (debatable, probably only runs with it to make his Mom feel bad). Due to all of this Fez has become so terrified of death, he's stopped living anything resembling a life. As you might imagine, someone with already marginal life experience just shutting everything down to wallow in anxiety and terror doesn't lend to a wide variety of conversation topics.

You know enough about the show to know he used to be funny, so you have to know why he's a mental case!

I doubt Fez goes anywhere. I don't have hate for him like most do, I just feel bad for him, he needs help. He should be off the show, but I have strong doubts he's gone in April.

I do feel bad for Fez, but the guy clearly can't do radio anymore. It gets a little tiresome to hear the same exact interaction between him and Ron every single day.

Fez needs help, yes, but the funny thing about help is you have to be willing to listen, understand, and do the work needed to get better. Fez doesn't want to get better. It's so much easier for him to continue believing he's a victim and the world is against him. Why try and risk failing on your own when you can stay put and refuse to accept reality?

Fez isn't going anywhere. We all know that. And that's exactly why he will never get better. It's either let the kid shoot up in your house or let him die in the streets. Ron knows even if he cuts Fez loose, Fez will never hit rock bottom. Hitting rock bottom requires self-awareness, which Fez utterly lacks. So the alternative is letting a delusional Fez continue to descend into insanity until his heart finally explodes. I guess Ron feels it's better to just deal with it and use Fez as a punching bag on air. It's still working career-wise and Fez isn't dragging down his personal life.

This is the way things are going to be until Ron decides to retire. Or Fez has heart attack #4.

The PD called their producer when Fez was having an off day (which was rare in those days) to ask if Fez was actually on the show that day. Ron got pissed and threatened to rip the phone off the wall and beat him with it. If Ron actually did that he'd probably still be in jail.
