To another year of hearing you guys complain about opie and Anthony and another year of you guys hearing if Ron and Fez is just one huge bit.

Also predictions to Ron and Fez, nothing will change. Fez will still be crazy Fez. The new channel will just be ok..since they're not really revealing or giving what the people want. Things will fall into place until the next contract. I doubt Fez will be fired. It's just another bit that won't pay off.


Also the gift will be so lame that Ronnie be will have to sell it while Hicks tries to feign amazement. Unless it's a jar of semen or a picture of Ron sleeping, I doubt it will be good.

It's going to start off as " The reason this card is so weird is because I said once that I hated Reindeer and..." then they'll go on for an hour on the lame gift.


But who knows. Ronnie likes giving poo poo for Fez bits not paying off, 3 years, he better deliver.

Yeah. Unbelievable. gently caress Sirius. Howard sues the company and hardly ever works and they bend over backwards to suck his dick. Meanwhile, they do everything they can to smother new, creative (and cheap) content. This company is such a joke.

What the gently caress? Did he say anything about the Ron and Fez channel? He made it sound like there was good news for him on facebook.


Riocast show is better anyways. Gabe sucked and I don't know why Davey Mac wanted him there. Roy and sean-o are great though.

It's really something you have to hear the story to get the full context.

Ron was just some guy doing standup at some mall. He came up to Fez's table, all hosed up, after the show to try to pick up Fez's friend.
They didn't know each other. They weren't colleagues or co-workers. They didn't work together until years later.

For Fez to pick up a pack of matches on that night and hold on to them for twenty+ years and then think it was an appropriate gift to give Ron...he's legit crazy.

The story is crazy and I can get behind the payoff. Honestly, it's loving crazy after one layer of thinking that their whole relationship could've been Fez just stalking Ron and manipulating their whole relationship.

"Incestual at best" was one of my favorite lines

Nothing has really changed and yesterdays show was super awkward. For a show that suppose to introduce a new audience for them, Ron came off as a pissy little bitch. It's just a song, calm the gently caress down man.

Todays show was a little better, Fez was pretty funny but you can tell Paul ribbing him a little bit got to him. I'm liking everyone sitting in with comedians. Big Jay episodes were always my favorite and they're 2 for 2 with the comedians they've brought in. I loved the game they played even if it was stupid. Ron wanted to be comedy speed but hiring shelby, as much as I love him, is not exactly what I think of when I think of speed. If Fez is ever gone, I think the three of them will do just fine.

As annoying as it is that Jimmy talks about his addiction, he knows himself better than a few bums on a forum. Ants tolerance is high, he knows how to control himself and all he's really doing is destroying HIS body. He isn't drunk driving, coming in drunk to work etc. Jimmy won't eat rum cake in fear he'll relapse. That tells me that Jimmy's experiences scared the poo poo out of him.

Equate it too the most horrible hangover you've ever had. Goldschlagger hangover, where you were vomiting gold pepper flakes and your rear end in a top hat burned for days. You couldn't squeeze out a pea without biting a sock it was so swollen. Now, the smart thing to do is never drink Goldschlagger again. Jimmy just did that with alcohol. Sure he might've not hit the rock bottom that makes you say "jesus loving christ" but to him, it's probably the worst time in his life. Remember, jimmy comes from a pretty well adjusted family.


He talks about addiction because that's his role on the show. He's most likely a sex addict or just has an addictive personality. I met tons of dweebs who never touched alcohol in their lives but played WoW 12 hours a day. You hear stories about couples who let their baby starve to death or put their children in a closet and you're like "gently caress". Most of the time it's never that extreme, it's usually that they lost their job/girlfriend/ dropped out of school. To us, it's pretty dumb but that is a clear sign of addiction.

Jimmy knows how to articulate addiction and he has a platform to talk about it. Ant isn't going to admit he's addicted and Opie is a square with no life experience except radio and being a caddy.

Just my two cents.

I maybe alone but I'm skipping the ron and fez show more and more these days. Yesterday seem to drag until big jay came in. Today starts off with even more caller participation. I'm sick of caller participation and games. Then it's probably going to go to an unmasked, which although bj novak is pretty cool, I just want the guys to shoot the poo poo.

This show has become every show I used to skip when they were on opie and anthony

What is with Ron & Fez turning into the game show variety hour? Seriously it's lovely gameshow after gameshow. Is this the direction they REALLY wanted to go?

I gotta admit the beginning of the show with Surfer Ron was hilarious.

I definitely agree with this sentiment. Trying to mine the "best callers on radio" day after day is getting tired. The callers are pretty poo poo now and I don't even finish shows anymore. As soon as I hear "what's in the box?" or "better headlines" I check out.


This show has turned into a real piece of poo poo out of sheer laziness. I rather have Ron take a year then this direction.

how are you such a stick in the mud you are trying to talk someone out of enjoying the show. i mean whats in the box annoys me too but the shows great

although I agree with your sentiment, it's far from great. I see today dan soder is on so that could be a fun show. But the game show 1/10 comics being good is pretty lovely.

I feel like everyone is off. I love Shelby but he's a sniper. Why the gently caress is he in the studio. He should be pip's role. Stanley at #2 mic and Fez in third was great. Let them shoot the poo poo, bring a comic into that nonsense and let them deal. That's why big jay is so great, he sits down with the guys and shoots the poo poo. Makes the mundane super interesting and funny. Gurian stinks, I turned on him. He just cuts off comics and crowbars himself into conversation. I only check out episodes this thread recommends

last couple of days have been great. the eulogy with melissa coming in and giving Ron poo poo was awesome. Ron is a dickhead for sure and it was great to see someone call him out on is poo poo. God knows the callers don't.

Then yesterday, with fezzy trying to get on the stick, making Fez pay for what Melissa did, you can kind of see how Ron acts bit or not. He's just loving evil and when someone steps on him he'll make the other person pay through someone else. Fez can't carry a show and Ron just leaving him out there was gut wrenching. Shelby was on fire though, he seemed to make Ron laugh a lot.


I think the last couple of days is what the show needed. I don't mind that they just do 3 hours because shows like yesterday moved by so fast with them just bullshitting. Honestly they throw in a comic the last 45 minutes to an hour or and gameshows once a week, they could turn it around and make it listenable. My problem was caller participation almost 3 times a week, for an hour then like an unmasked midshow and jerry barca for 15 minutes. Dumb.

Pretty much.

They bumped up the bandwidth on the Opie & Anthony channel to (I want to say) 128 kbps. If I remember right, the rest of the channels are only 32 or 64 kbps.

I actually agree with the boys. Ellis didn't just say he has the best radio show, he also said he's bigger than Opie and Anthony, "they're done", and that they're on their way out.

Doesn't he ave sort of a point? Lets say Opie and Anthony entered the market today, would they even compete? I feel like their fandom now is loyalty. Sure they made friends who will drop by and make the laughs but those three sifted towards politics, race and family. At least that's what the gist of the thread is. Also laughing at retarded people and freaks has made a come back with some of you really enjoy.


I fully admit that with the Ron and Fez show, that loyalty keeps me listening 3/5 days a week at least. But I wonder with both shows, how many new listeners are being captured. I got into Ron and Fez because there was so much dead air tension and weirdness I had to keep listening. If I stumbled across opie and anthony and heard day after day free speech, black people are animals with callers laying down facts but being turned down, I'd say gently caress this show

r&f is a bizare fever dream of a radio show, they were all laughing and teasing fez when they found a wnew clip of fez talking about how some listener gave him the matchbook from the club where he met ronnie (back in 2002), so of course they were talking about what a liar he is, so fez broke down and basically threatened ronnie with his own death and/or suicide. all i can think of is a new listener who kept the radio on after hearing jim gaffigan's hot pocket bit and hearing this literal insanity on their comedy radio station.

Due to the fact I inadvertently followed a bunch of R&F hanger-ons when I first joined Twitter I just noticed Dave's wife is getting a lot of poo poo from a bunch of people that used to be her best friends. It seems she's been cheating on Dave for years (and bragging about it) with another R&F listener named Mikey Background - some drummer that has been on R&F a few times. And it looks like Casey is leaving Dave, which might explain Dave's vague, "this has been the worst week of my life" comment at the beginning of this week's DMSP podcast.

Who would have thought that an on-air wedding to a listener wouldn't work out?
