People are under a lot of stress, Bradley.
Ant had another solid week of shows. The DiPaolo/conservative stuff really was only about a half hour or so, and then the rest of the episode was great. The Ant solo shows have also been improving. He could still do much less with callers (I think there has been exactly one good call so far, and it was yesterday), but the bits/topics he's been doing feel much less forced than the first week stuff (retards in film bit). I've been amused by the cheap visual gags he's been doing, such as when he was showing all the fire challenge clips, and ended with a clip of Wile E Coyote blowing himself up.

Anyone else find Todd Glass really loving annoying? I know Ron just did an Unmasked with him, and I've heard him before on WTF and other podcasts. On Norm MacDonald's youtube show he talked over everyone and had pretty specific views about how comedy should work and about the specific boundaries no comedian should cross. You know, because rules make comedy better.

The Todd Glass Show is probably the only podcast I've actually laughed out loud at.

Todd Glass is really hit or miss depending on how high he happens to be whenever you happen to hear him. He can get really caught up in his own bullshit, and definitely needs someone to reign him in when he gets in those kind of moments. His podcast was great early on when Daniel Kinno, Rory Scovel, and Paul F. Tompkins were reoccurring guests.

When his podcast is on point there's hardly anything funnier.

I tried to find the original audio from the story Ron was telling about Fez accidently ordering a hamburger during a dinner with the bosses at Morton's in DC but all I could find was this from WNEW.

He still mentioned it and namedropped the guy at Sirius who does apparently runs sports. So unless Fez is just making up poo poo (true), the fact he would pull that out of his wig shows he's truly a bitter rear end in a top hat.

Incredible Ron & Fez show today. These types of shows are the reason people debate whether it's all a work or not... Like someone mentioned before, if you notice the history of the show, alot of these big blow ups happen before long breaks.

I love how it was so unwarranted. "Fez, Steak n'Shake is not steak." "YOU gently caress UP CONSTANTLY AND SUCK AS AN EMPLOYEE!" Fez goes from zero to sixty and then just burns out.

Yeah, I'm listening to Steakgate on my long weekend car trip and it does sound like a bit. It's all just too drat perfect; everything is timed to not make us wait long, Fez is immediately maximally defensive, the misunderstanding is off the charts stupid, and they cap it off with Pepper making loving long shot 4-way horse bets and then acting shocked and depressed that they don't pan out. :what:

But hey, they make it entertaining so I can hardly complain about it!

Can you get cheap Sirius/XM just on your cell phone? I'm thinking about taking a new job that involves driving a government vehicle, but only about 10-20 percent of the month, so it's not something I would want to worry about getting for my car. Their website confuses me, I don't see a mobile only option.

The way Ron was yelling Big Fez as Fez entered the studio tipped me off.

The more I think about it, the more I think that Fez pitched the idea to Ron as a way to get more involved with the show, Ron greenlit it and the rest of the staff was never informed. So Hicks' reaction was real and Fez's reaction to Hicks' real reaction was real but the initial idea was a bit.

I'm also guessing that Fez was expecting some light natured ribbing in the same vein as some of his other "gently caress-ups" instead of the absolute fury Pepper had regarding the whole thing.

...

Or it's all completely real. Who knows :shrug:

I use the cell phone app but it's just for online access, not like some magically different cell phone plan. If you can listen on your computer you can use the exact same login for the app on your smartphone. Plus you can and should download on-demand shows while you are in a fast Internet area to listen to later through the app. They still expire but it's smarter to play off storage than pray for continuously connected cellular data networks.

tldr get the online only plan and save a buck

Yeah, I like the "bit idea, then poo poo got real." Pepper's hate for Fez has always seemed real and tapped into that. Plus Fez brought up retarded poo poo that shouldn't be said on the air like he's done in the past with Pepper, Shelby and ESD.

Pepper should've shoved Fez's face into an open burger and said "Bark, Doggy!"
