I'm new to the Ron&Fez show... My introduction was this year's jocktober, then the blueberry incident, and then listening to the link in the OP and then a few other older recordings that I found on youtube and... What exactly is Fez's deal? When and why did he basically shut down and stop participating on the show? Was it before or after he came out?

Any insight into Fez would be helpful

Before. When the decline started depends on who you ask and how long they've been listening, really; when I started listening in early 2009 I liked Fez, but many people say the decline started before that.

Sorry, don't want to turn this into a political derail. Just want to make it perfectly clear, Ant is a far-right republican at best. He is most definitely not a libertarian, even if he thinks he is.

He's a right-wing shitheel doesn't give a poo poo about "the fagolas" getting married or about weed, so he's pretty much a libertarian by today's Internet Libertarian standards.

I am alternately amused and frustrated by Anthony's political views. His analysis is shallower than a puddle in the Sahara.

Whenever someone suggests that Ant or Jim are to be taken seriously, I remember a couple of years ago when they said in all seriousness that $250k/year was a "solid middle-class income". Spoiled loving white trash man-children.

Natty Ice is 5.9% abv. It's also 50% cheaper and 1000% more disgusting than Budweiser.

In the US, anyone who drinks a lot of Natty Ice or Icehouse is either an alcoholic or a dumbfuck dudebro who wants to get hammered faster. Even when I was in college we'd get a 6 pack of half-decent beer and save the Beast or whatever other swill we chose until we were 6 in.

Here in North Carolina they raised the allowable ABV from 6% to 15% in 2005, which has resulted in a nice little brewing boom full of tasty and affordable craft beers.

It's strange that they picked that clip, because I forgot that even happened after all the free plugs Ant gave Niggermania.com today.

My kids were watching that Chipmunk movie this morning and I remembered another odd guest was David Cross. I remember even way back on Howard Stern he's very odd in studio, but the littlest thing he'll go off on and get very defensive. I recall he got very standoffish with Ron because Ron suggested he was complaining about the cold air in the studio. I always enjoy seeing David Cross on TV/movies etc but always end up dissapointed when I hear him on the radio ... must not translate, or he's just a fiesty guy.

I've disliked David Cross ever since he wrote that open letter to Larry the Cable Guy.

I mean, gently caress Larry the Cable Guy too and all, but it takes some balls to call someone out for dumb-stereotype-based comedy and fart jokes when you were in loving Scary Movie 2.

I get Ron's issues with the 9/11 memorial in a way. I've visited all 3 memorials (granted, Shanksville hadn't even broken ground on the permanent memorial yet when I was there) and New York is the only one of the 3 where I watched a parade of tourists take smiling selfies in front of what amounted to a mass grave just behind them. By contrast, aside from a brief presentation by a park ranger, the Flight 93 memorial was silent as a tomb and appropriately somber even with two dozen tourists hanging around and no one was at the Pentagon memorial at all.
