His phone calls to the show in the past couple of years have been really good, he was the old Fez again.

At least the Bucs won the Super Bowl one last time.

Hopefully he's resting easy in the refrigerated truck on the way to Northern Virginia.
Do NOT bury him in Northern Virginia!

Today's show is live. They opened with an old R&F intro, the one with ICP's Oddities, into All Things Must Pass by George Harrison.

Listened to the first hour, first time I've listened to Bennington in years. Very hard to hear Ronnie and Gail that broken up, but I expected it. Hearing Chris Stanley in tears really got me, though.

East Side Dave’s call was good. The image of Ron setting up play dates between Fez and ESD is pretty funny. A great episode overall, but very sad.

E: and fuckin Earl just reading what he posted on the interrobang. Of course.

The origin of the Sleeves song, "It Takes a Rube."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fig86NrZUjQ



And the song, sung from the perspective of the waiter.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrZ93pO2_8A

It’s my last night at the steakhouse
‘Cos I haven’t got a prayer
Debts and bets are piled up
My bills, my pockets bare

So I’m raggin’ out some bar-glass
And my eye runs to the door
There they stand, four men in hand
I’ll serve them, carry out my plan

I’m gonna take me to the Brooklyn Bridge
I’m gonna rip me up in howlin’ winds
I’m gonna swim me down the coal black sea
Gonna take me so they can’t take me

Well I seat the men as quickly
As my arthritic legs allow
Here’s a snapshot of me then
Can you guess how old I’m now?

Well I used to box on Sunday
In the twen’y dollar fights
But you don’t last long and when you’re done
They dim ya like the lights

I brought the steaks and sodas
Sharp knives and chocolate treats
Took up the cheque and nearly died
When I saw you’d left me all I’d need

I’m gonna take it to the race-track
I’m gonna take it to the OTB
I’m gonna take it to the basement games
I’m gonna find myself a new bookie

I’m gonna win myself a whole new life
Run the tables and then find my wife
I’m gonna make it now and want to say
It takes a rube, come back any-day

That got me as well. She mentioned that Fezzie wasn't able to see that he was loved, when by all accounts everyone who met him loved and appreciated him to no end. Everyone tried to get that message through to him. I hope Ronnie doesn't see this as his failure, when the big cat just needed to love himself.

Yeah, I don't think Ron should blame himself. He did the best he could and, honestly, the real answer was for Fez to get off the radio and sort himself out. It's horrible that he didn't manage to get to that point, but there's only so much one can do when dealing with someone deep into mental illness like Fez was.

Honestly, Ron n Fez is the best talk radio show ever made. I downloaded the entire SXM archives a couple years ago and listen every day seeing if I cant find bits that arnt on YT yet or to just listen to classic bits. The stuff never really gets old cuz nobody ever did a show as out there as them. I mean when has anybody heard of a show where the host doesnt talk and when he does he cries. And you cant turn away because Ron's droppin killer lines and redirecting Fez's anger towards someone else in the room, which Fez would take entirely serious and build an instant grudge. Like what even is that???

RIP Big Cat!

Big Jay Oakerson was saying on the Bonfire yesterday how he walked in one day and Fez had a grudge against him for something. I remember hearing that show that week, it pops in my head a lot for some reason, it was really strange and I remember Jay being utterly perplexed and apologetic because he didn't know what he'd done to offend Fez. I think their show is where I first heard Big Jay.

He said he called Ron up at some point and asked if Fez still hated him, and Ron replied "Well, Fez doesn't ask me about you."

It was probably this, which was ironically was the last thing he did before "retiring."

gently caress compound media and all but East Side Dave was a huge part of Fez's crazy legacy. He did a tribute show to Fez for those who want to see it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0b6bMOklZ0


Big Jay and Dan opened The Bonfire with North American Scum, which was fitting they both come from that 2012-2014 era of the show.

Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cZQ-kaZ3FA

I mean when you think about it, Fez not talking and Jay and Dan being more than capable of pickin up the slack ended up probably getting them the Bonfire gig.

Does anyone else remember the time Ron arrived really late for the show and they got through two full plays of North American Scum before he got there? I believe Fez was sitting there in a blind panic the whole time.

Yeah that's the one. Fez goes full panic attack and lol even gets a lil racist about what kinds of people need to be security checked (hint: its not middle aged white men)

I've been lookin for it the past half hour and cant find it anywhere. I heard not even too long ago too, now its just gone
