The worst part is that shirt doesn't look like it's been washed in a while, and he really, really does look like a hillbilly from a Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel.

Oh god I didn't even realise that was the shirt. You can see it fraying on the left-hand sleeve. Soon he's just going to be wearing a ragged, soiled cape.

Yeah, a lot of it was downright creepy, especially when Fez-as-BL was letting some really personal stuff out (he hates Unmasked and is jealous as all hell), but then when Ron relented to it and said that maybe it's time for Fez to go and Fez freaked out....wow. Just wow. Amazing radio, but I would not be surprised if Fez is now gone.

Fez is now New Improved Empowered Fez Whatley and he's bragging about taking down two bullies in Paul O and BL. His face painting plan went perfectly...

Also Fez is painting his face like Daryl Hannah from the movie, not Blade Runner Sting? I didn't even know Fez had ever seen the movie Blade Runner.

Fire everyone but Ron, Opie, Jim and Sam. You'll save money since Sam can do the job of Fez, Hicks and E-rock and interns can handle the rest.

(SiriusXM would actually think this is a great way to run a channel.)

True, but he'd do twelve jobs at once and E-rock sure as gently caress wouldn't. That's all they really give a poo poo about.

Lol if you think Opie has any of the pull he's pretending to right now. The "I'm gonna promise some people a show" is the same thing he did to look rebellious the last time management started dicking around with the channel.

I'm just surprised about erock. I mean a little loyalty for a guy who clearly loves radio and loves (ed?) the show. Then again they probably wanted to trim down the enormous team they have. Ron runs it tight with 4, that's all you really need.


That little worm sam probably sold him out, but what do I care? The fans get what they want. A lackluster show that should've died when it was shot in the stomach over the summer. Congratulations.

I've yet to see any sort of real confirmation of this besides the hens gossiping on reddit.

I'm holding my breath, this wouldn't be the first time reddit has gotten it so loving wrong its hilarious.

It was just dumb Reddit gossip. E-rock did not get fired, and he didn't quit. In fact, nothing even close to this happened at all. There wasn't even a CLUE of him leaving.

Can't believe people still think the Fez poo poo is real.



Even the face screams, "You loving idiots will believe anything." He would have been fired long ago if it was actually a problem. They canned Sabean, an executive... but kept Fez, he's probably just working behind the scenes while Carny Ron whips up stories.

They literally aren't talented enough to carry out a long term bit like what's going on with Fez. Short term stuff and general character ideas, yeah, but just look at the Midnight Rider or Black Earl for confirmation that long term bits aren't their forte.

The dude wouldn't be employed if this was legit. Sirius just fired Sal and The Sex Bagel, useless pawns in their eyes. Yet they won't fire a guy that doesn't talk for years and is wearing face makeup and dying his weird mustache? (Why be such a weird mustache in the first place? hmm)

I can accept him getting anxiety and being put in a reduced role because Ron loved him or whatever, but he's still working. Maybe it's just because I've been a wrestling fan my whole life but since I've listened to R&F the last 5 years or so I love how kayfabe it is. Ron being a carny only helps.

Do we even have any solid proof Fez has any stents in?

Okay so they kept him *shrug* Sabean was a much bigger firing, I just added Nagel cause I quickly read he was gone. I do remember Opie saying the show would fall apart without him so I'm glad he's still there.
