Cool, I'm excited for the Ron and Hicks show to return Monday. I wish they had played some older classic R/F shows instead of just the last 10 or so leading up to the break.

Church.

The original origin story of Skippy was it was a feral cat Fez found in New York. During the Skippy talks episode, Fez hosed up and said he bought it (or got it from a shelter)

I don't know where Fez got that one cat from for the photo but I doubt it was his. Remember this is the same guy who hid moving from retard island for over a year.

Okay, so what cat was in studio during the "cookie" show?

What's the record for the most dead air on Ron and Fez

I find it pretty torturous when Ron just leaves Fez out to dry every time he talks.

Ron needs a co-host he considers an equal.

Video of Shelby putting on lip gloss (I think?) and Bigfoot-esque footage of Fez.

I didn't realize they're still in the O&A studios and still have the lovely sound quality.

Also, it'd be great if they did a lot of in-show Vines/videos.

I do feel bad for Fez, but the guy clearly can't do radio anymore. It gets a little tiresome to hear the same exact interaction between him and Ron every single day.

Shelby loving cracks me up, though.

I'm pretty sure Ron loves Colbert. He may have been annoyed with him but he watches them regularly.

I thought part of it was him being bitter that the TV star got to bring a ton of people and the radio guy couldn't bring anyone.

If Fez leaves, Ron will just designate another whipping boy. Whether it be Al Dukes, Billy Staples or Black Earl, Ron and Fez always needs a whipping boy. Fez has filled that role admirably since Black Earl left.

He dishes it out pretty equally to Hicks and Shelby recently, but both are pretty great at taking it. Shelby in particular.

Shelby's hilarious and I'm sure he's not seriously in danger of losing his job. Though I think I want Fez back purely for the fact that Shelby seems a lot funnier when he's not stuck as Ron's whipping boy.

R&F is a complete work and I have no idea why people keep falling for this poo poo. Give it next week and Fez will be back with 3 new stents or something, whether real or fake (fake), to explain and they're good another 2 years.

Anyone seriously thinking anything Ron says on the air is real is loving crazy. He could say the moon crashed into earth and you should check to make sure in case he's lying. (Spoilers he'd be lying cause you'd be dead).

"Hey Fez, let's do a hilarious bit where you'll be more or less silent for the next six years and nobody will take anything you say seriously, while I basically carry the show by myself."

Weird how this week without Fez is great so far.

This dude from the travel channel who loves Ron is funny as hell.

Yeah, he was fanboying it up pretty hard, but I can't say I blame him. Really enjoyed that interview. Is this the first time Ron's interviewed a comedian who also happened to be a huge fan?

Also he laughs like a lunatic.

Meanwhile I had my doubts about a Fezless R&F, but last week was great. Good comedians and mostly sitting around bullshitting. Good stuff.

Agreed, though I still think Shelby is funnier when Ron isn't treating him like Fez because he hosed up the commercial break or whatever. When Shelby has the confidence to pipe up on a regular basis he's hilarious.

Man, that was one uncomfortable appearance by Todd Barry on Ron and Fez.

Details?

Todd Barry was on to promote his Crowd Work special. They decide to take a left turn and play a clip of Glenn Beck talking about how his father was raped multiple times, which really wasn't funny of course, and Todd Barry was just confused and clearly not into it joking around about it. Actually I thought Barry had left because Ron, Chris and Fez were talking for about 10 minutes afterward (though they finally asked him a question).

Ron asked him if he could hang out after the break and he declined.

Todd has a history of being a pretty bad interview. Ever see him with Seinfeld on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee?

Almost think they did it to him because they knew he wasn't going to come with much.

By "did that to him" you mean ambush him with seemingly interminable rape accounts and expect him to find it funny?

It wasn't a good thing to do a segment on to begin with and I'm glad an outsider was there to emphasize that fact.

Highly recommend the Jason Nash interview. He's a huge fan of the show and wanted to dive way into Ron and Fez' relationship, which Fez did not take well.

Too bad about Tracy. Loved the intro to yesterday's show. One of my favorite bits on R&F is the "ok, callers we're not doing "x." Every caller does "x." Yesterday was Shade45 jokes. Anyone else have links to similar ones on youtube?

caller: "Hey Ron, just wanted to tell you not to be on the phone too long and use up all your prepaid minutes."
Ron: "Dude, for the love of gently caress, you're going to get me shot."

Sure it is.

Him stumbling his way through certain sentences during Unmasked is really sticking it to Hicks.

He does the "you realize you just said ______" to Hicks on a regular basis. It's just banter and Hicks rolls with it.

If Ron had agreed with Molly it would have been a two minute conversation. It was an interesting topic, Molly held her own, the callers got into it. I totally disagreed with Ron but I enjoyed it.

I can't tell if Ron is just easier on Molly because she's an intern or if she's a chick. He definitely is a lot easier on the girls. He certainly didn't give Shelby the poo poo he does now, which sucks, because I think Shelby thrives way more when he's not being poo poo all over. How does Ron expect him to be funny or contribute when yesterday he bluntly cuts him off and says "nobody cares". I know people will say "oh way to not get the bit", but seriously listen to the way he used to treat Shelby before, and listen now. I think Molly's great; not hilarious necessarily, but I think she's very likable. As someone pointed out the other day, she doesn't seem to back down from Ron if he disagrees with her, and she doesn't come off obnoxious when she does either.

I wonder if there's a little bit of hazing going on since Shelby got a great job on a national show straight out of college. But honestly I think he more or less treats Shelby pretty much how he treats Pepper, and both are great at rolling with the punches and don't take it personally. Fez is the guy who actually gets treated like poo poo - he can't really add anything at this point without being met with dead silence.

I like Molly too, she's a good straight man and does a good job jumping into topics and keeping the conversations moving.
