Interesting - Chris Stanley was invited to join ESD on the new show, but he turned down the offer. And when Ron was considering joining Anthony back when, Chris said that he wouldn't be a part of that new show. Is it a love of SiriusXM, a hatred of Anthony, or something else?

Isn't Chris now talent for Bennington? As such, he's probably pulling down some decent pay. Too much to waste it on a lovely network that might go under in a year or two. Davey Mac doesn't have that much to lose given his gig was for terrestrial.

"Ron Bennington: I honestly want you to keep pushing boundaries as far as you can, and then if Ant tries to fire you he really looks like an rear end in a top hat, that will be the best. I love you kid."

Ron knows the score. And if Davey Mac can make a career out of this shitstorm, more power to him. He deserved so much more than to get treated like crap by Fez and Opie.

I think Dave's personality works best as a second banana to Ron, but I hope he succeeds anyway. The sketches could be good - his characters were always pretty good.

Chris couldn't give two shits about who's giving him money for his smokes and 'scripts, as long as that person isn't a devious ghoul. Anthony loving sucks, Pepper knows it, and bless him for having scruples enough to say gently caress you to that whole business. It also shows how much Ron respects the centaur bastard that he actually listened instead of going to find a new producer.

I hope this is a launchpad for Davey Mac to somehow worm his way back into SiriusXM. They can never be like the old days where he tormented the original big dummy Earl, but he'd be such a nice fit for Bennington.

Put it this way, if you're even just lukewarm on the idea of Dave MacDonald, it's not for you. I, however, love his antics.

And also, that's funny that Creampie Jones is the producer, I always heard he went the way of Intern David where he didn't ever want anything to do with the show ever again.

Yeah, I've hated him since the very first time they brought him on.

He is literally just that Tucker Max guy they ripped into years ago. Such utter bullshit "bro" stories about the 80 billion hot chicks he has hosed. He is easily the worst newer comedian that they bring in. Jim doesn't really interact with him at all when he is in.

It's rather telling that Sam doesn't really bother with him for his show even though he is more in the demographic.

Cumia will see out the end of Obama's term behind bars, just not for the reasons we expected. All he had to do was tell dick jokes for three hours a day five days a week and they would have kept paying him millions and he still hosed it up.

Not only that, but he didn't even try to get it back: two months later he's doing his own show from his basement and telling his old job to go screw instead of deleting his twitter, going silent for the rest of the year, and trying to crawl back to the show in some manner.

Ron claims to be a "movie guy" when anyone tries to talk up how good TV is now, but of all the Oscar nominated movies he's only seen The Martian (and that was this week on demand) and Mad Max which he blew off as a dumb action movie. The Revenant? "I don't like watching anything that makes me feel cold." Room? He doesn't like seeing kids in jeopardy. Spotlight? "Isn't Mark Ruffalo more of a TV actor?" The Big Short? "No more Christian Bale." Bridge of Spies or Brooklyn? "I don't want to watch something that might be a bad movie."

All those are valid reasons on their own, but together it doesn't make someone a movie guy. Ron is more of a Scorcese/Tarantino guy that also watches lovely tv like Big Brother and Gotham then complains how bad tv sucks. I'd like it if Gail pushed back a little to get him to expand his viewing. God knows Hicks won't.

I love Ronnie B but he's a hipster. He only likes things if he thinks he's going against the grain. If lots of other people like it or it is getting a ton of praise he either hates it or blows it off. If everyone hates it, it will suddenly become the thing he champions above all else. This is the same guy that started raving about how great the Green Hornet movie was after it got trashed and bombed. He only likes to watch stuff that can only been scene if you seek out this one tiny back-ally theater in Greenwich Village at 9:30am on a Sunday for one weekend only. If it's something that no one outside of NYC has a chance of ever watching, it's the greatest film of all time. Like I said, he's a hipster.

He's a brilliantly funny dude, but his opinions on anything are horseshit 98% of the time.

Ron's art cred was thrown into question for me this past week when a caller asked him about Scott Walker (the musician), and he was completely oblivious to Walker's solo career. Might be a small hipster-ish thing, but I'd assume anyone who is always singing the praises of Bowie/Lou Reed/Velvet Underground would have had a passing familiarity. Again, I find Ron hilarious, but I don't think he's the wizened old master of what's "cool" that he (and many fans) thinks he is.
