So its the same show, but Fez was on his meds for one day, and Hicks has been demoted because he's been doing a poo poo job lately. Also Shelby is back.

edit: Also ending with Satellite of Love...still

Not bad.

I may have jumped the gun a little. Fez didn't say a word for the first 20-25 minutes or so, so I figured he was locked again. He's been piping in on most topics now and doesn't seem anxious/upset.

I'm convinced that the hype of "the new R&F show" was just a work as to not make O&A butthurt about Fez's desire to leave the channel. Literally nothing has changed.

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 haven't listened to Ron and Fez in forever, but decided to check out Friday's show, since I like Big Jay Oakerson a lot. Laughed my rear end off several times and I'm not even halfway through. Fez is even talking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykNM0v-NX1A

Don't let this fool you.

Ron and Fez is seriously a terrible show now. Fez doesn't talk still, Pepper Hicks doesn't really give a gently caress anymore and somehow lost everything that made him funny, Shelby can be ok at times but has a lot of douche chill moments. Also they play the same game shows pretty much everyday, and unscreened calls for about an hour, where all the callers say the same poo poo they said the last 15 unscreened calls bits.

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

I wasn't trying to talk someone out of enjoying a show that they already enjoyed, I was trying to tell him to not get his expectations high based off of one decent show. Ron & Fez has been far from great since the move to Rawdog, infact its been one of the laziest radio shows I've heard in awhile. There's obviously something going on behind the scenes, because literally nobody is giving a flying gently caress anymore.

There have been a few exceptions, and I have to say I enjoyed yesterdays show a bit; although Fez is insufferable and really needs to leave.

I guess the thing that irks me the most is that Ron was all hyped on how this was going to be a completely different show, based off the best comedians, blah blah blah. Its become anything but that, filled with uninspired/unfunny giveaway gameshows and dead air.

B.) Leaving the show

Oh boy, who said fag this time?

Management wanted him to stay away from the fishbowl because someone famous was going to be there (I'm not sure if they ever said who, I turned it off during lunch), and they didn't want him creeping around like the uncomfortable creep he is. So he OF COURSE turned it into an anti-gay thing, saying people don't know how to keep their "cakehorn's" shut. This lead to everyone making fun of him coming up with the word cakehorn, and ended up trending #1 on twitter, leading to Fez to go absolutely batshit insane-mad that people were making fun of the stupid word he made up. He went off on EVERYONE (except obviously Ron, who kept instigating everything like usual) and basically anyone who made fun of his word is anti-gay as well.

The guy is a legit lunatic.

That said, is Fez on the show today? I can't imagine he's being allowed on the show since he's going to have a heart attack whenever confronted on his manipulation and lies.

I imagine they probably will be offered new contracts if they want them, I doubt they will be as big as they get now maybe Jimmy will get a little bump up, but I would think Opie might go down a bit. Will they still retain the channel though? I imagine them being shipped off on to Raw Dog or something. Opie and Jim certainly wouldn't seem to be worthy of a channel on their own and the premium subscription that carries.

I can't imagine how loving utterly pissed off Opie and Jimmy must be with all of this. Their idiot friend/business partner/co-host blew up not just his, but also potentially their, multi-million dollar contract over a drunken meltdown on twitter.

Add on top the awful, reactionary fans calling them traitors for not immediately breaching their contracts in some sort of misguided display of unity.

I'd imagine they're a bit more pissed off at Sirius for firing the guy over basically nothing.

I think we're all missing the point here. SiriusXM hired Stephen A Smith which I'm assuming means he is receiving money from the company for his "talents". SXM wouldn't give ESD's show a little extra scratch or retain any of the Saturday Night Virus shows to help flesh out the channel but this shithead gets hired to give his fresh and insightful thoughts on sport. I would imagine some SXM execs are crowing about how they hired away a top-level personality from ESPN like it's something to be proud of. Once again, SXM can get hosed.

East Side Dave is loving awful, that's why. He's not funny, he's an over the top radio bit that expired years ago.

This is not defending Stephen A Smith in the least, because he's a misogynistic race baiting oval office, who was fired from Fox Sports Radio years ago for being as such.

That Jim Norton appearance was really awesome and we were all right that if they had just kicked out Opie it'd be a great show. What kind of self hating rear end in a top hat would I be if I just encouraged racist to continue on with spreading horribleness? If Jimmy were to come on full time and squish that poo poo I'd do the yearly subscription in a heartbeat. I can separate the art from the artist but it was so in your face that he got fired over it.

They were friends, Joe got his feelings hurt and should have called Ant to hash it out instead of bash him on a podcast. How much money either of them made doesn't factor in.

Its relevant because its was a stupid emotional response that not only ruined his personal friendship with Anthony, but also alienated a fanbase which hurts him financially as well.
