Lady Di is tweeting the SiriusXM account and asking them to tell O&A to call her when they get back. Good gods that woman is retarded.

So pretty much as expected. I hope they are working on something else because replays all day is just stupid. Although I guess at least there won't be anything competing with Ron and Fez. And really things aren't going to change too much for me I guess. O&A in the mornings. Ron and Fez noon-3. Ellis in the afternoons. Meh, whatever.

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.

To be fair, as much as they talk about "going past 10," am I the only one who is up early enough to know that they usually always (pretty much every day) start at about 6:15 - 6:20am? So when they go late, they are, at the very least, only making up their time. So when Opie says "WE WENT 10 MINUTES PAST GUYS!," they're still not filling their timeslot

Yeah, but don't expect them to see it that way. THEY ARE SO OVERWORKED AND EXTREMELY UNDERPAID YOU ASSHOLES DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW UNFAIR AND HARD THEIR LIVES ARE!

It really is incredible that Opie thinks it's such an outrage that a company would not let him take as many "sick days" as he wants whenever he wants without starting to dock his pay. They work less than 20 hours a week and act like they have the biggest raw deal of all time.

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

Fez started shutting down in the last few months they were at WJFK in DC/VA. It's been a long time, so I don't remember for sure when it started. But the PD at WJFK was noticing it and commenting on it and Ron went off on him on the air big time several times. So Fez was on the decline well before they made the switch to XM.

If I remember correctly from what they said when Fez came out on the air, Fez first came out to Ron in Manassas (when they were at WJFK). So Fez being locked up has been going on a long time.

I can say though, having grown up in the DC area and having listened to the show since they first started on WJFK, Fez was amazing. Amazing. He was so incredibly funny. Even my parents loved the show because it was so clever, creative and unique.

I really wish the show could be at the level of genius it was on FM. Because goddamn was it good.

It's working for me, but I couldn't even log in most of the day yesterday. I even checked it again around 10pm just to see and it was still down. I hate this company.

Also, really loved Opie "jokingly" constantly interrupting to push his Instgram, YouTube and Twitter. Great "bit." Not obnoxious and unlistenable at all. :rolleyes:

The battery in Fez's smoke detector is dead and it's making that loud chirping sound and Fez has just been ignoring it and living with it because he says he can't reach it.

He's been living with it like that since Christmas break. :psyduck:

He knocked on the Supers door twice twenty days ago. What else is he supposed to do?

Hahaha and on a holiday, too. And he didn't even try to call the landlord.

I love how Ron laid it all out clear: Fez has no cable, no heat, and he can't get a response from the Super. Just tell them he's withholding rent! Not to mention, he can rent a goddamn ladder if he won't buy one.

Ron said it was another example about how Fez refuses to solve any of the problems in his life. And he's right.

Fez needs to be forced to let Paul O live with him. It's the only way.

What's up with the "best of o&a" now? Did I miss something?

The speculation going around is that this is part of Sabian wanting to re-brand poo poo and that "worst-of" was considered too negative. O&A haven't actually addressed it, I don't think. Yesterday when they were out was the first time we all started noticing it I think, so it must have just started.

I've acquired a free pass for the Stress Factory in New Brunswick, and Vos is there in April. How is he live? I've never seen him live before.

Vos is amazing live. Amazing. As dumb as he can be, he is a genius on the stage. When I saw him a year ago, there happened to be an Elvis convention going on and he must have done a good 10 minutes just off the top of his head, not to mention like ten minutes of crowd work, before even going into his set. He's phenomenal. If you can see him, go.

Yeah, somehow my friend found out and we got tickets like on Monday. I should have said something earlier. He was in Headliners, which is usually set up in some conference room or another in the Radisson on Elm St right across from Vetern's Park.

And Anthony's "I'm a libertarian, who cares" bigotry act is beyond threadbare.

Ant isn't a libertarian. Not even close. He's a racist, right wing authoritarian. If he claims to be a libertarian, then he has no idea what that word actually means. Ant believes in an authoritarian justice system that is taken at its word (especially when it comes to minorities) and where people's constitutional rights are nearly non-existent. He believes in immediate and brutal execution without the right to appeal. He loves, loves, LOVES police brutality-- the more brutal the better-- and dreams of a police state in which everyone (except for him, of course), is yanked off the street, harassed, and brutalized based on nothing more than the whims of cops (which are never to be questions and who never do wrong). He believes in the TSA and that people should be singled out based solely on their perceived religion and skin color. He believes that certain groups of people are racially superior to others, whom he considers sub-human and less deserving of rights.

Ant is as much a libertarian as I am Mickey Mouse (and I'm not Mickey Mouse).

Incidentally, most of the things I mentioned above are beliefs professed by Jimmy as well. The only difference is Jimmy doesn't couch his proclamations in a perceived ethnic superiority. Other than that, he's lockstep with Ant.

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.

What was her leaky butt problem again? I don't think I ever heard the full story.

There was some sort of fat burner she took and a side effect is she tended to have some sort of leakage out of her but at night sometimes. I remember Ant described it like someone had set a pizza on the sheets and the pizza crease has stained it. He said he went through so many sets of sheets, just throwing them out and buying new sets.

The portion of today's show with Rogan and Gervais in studio was just amazing. They even went all the way to 11. And of course Penn and Louis earlier in the week was golden as well. I was very happy with both shows this week, I've gotta say. Ron and Fez was great this week as well.

What's in the Box? is literally the worst thing to ever happen to radio. Nothing makes me bail on the show faster than when they say they are playing that for approximately the nine billionth time.

Jimmy just eagerly retweeted Ant with this link, adding on that the media is "REPULSIVE" and then quickly deleted his RT. I'm assuming after he tweeted he actually bothered to look and realized he was tweeting links to a racist website.

Here's the link. Ant still has it up, of course.

http://topconservativenews.com/2013/08/media-is-desperate-to-censor-horrific-hate-crime-torture-murder-of-twelve-year-old-texas-boy/

Not only does the site advertise legitimately racist organizations, the comments are a real doozy too, replete with your standard "send them back to Africa" sentiments.

e2: Jimmy tweeted me back and now other people are taking notice. I may have made a mistake. Should have kept my mouth shut. Not too bad so far but I'm wondering if I'm about to be deluged by pests trashing me. Oh well.

Anybody else think that Opie has a big painkiller issue or is sleeping like 2 hours a night? He locks onto one person in a conversation and he doesn't get any humor unless that person says it. He either steamrolls the laughs or he waits until there's an opening to say what he was planning to say beforehand.

The Opster is smoking the pot again. He may be smoking the pot again. He's seriously thinking of smoking the pot again. Did the Opster mention he may start smoking the pot again? He's been thinking about smoking the pot again but it's so STRONG, man. Yeah! I'm telling you, man, it knocks you right on your loving rear end! It's insane! Also, being a father is hard, man! No one tells you these things! The Opster has had to watch Despicable Me 2 and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 like a million times, man! Snow days are hard. The Opster has to be the babysitter.

I loved how at one point Fez was yelling at Vitto, Shelby and Hicks and said something like, "You all will be gone and Ron and I will still be here because everything always changes around us but we don't change, we always stick together no matter what." I immediately took that as Fez being hyper-aware of April breathing down his neck and he's already trying to get manipulative with Ron.

Fez is a hypocritical, petulant child. But goddamn was today's show a blast to listen to because of it. The entire cakehorn thing is the hardest I've laughed in a while. It reminded me of how Dave used to butcher phrases, like when he said that something was "just the tip of the ice bird."

Holy poo poo, Opie said he's fighting to try to keep Weird Medicine on the channel and Sirius is saying that they can't afford the $150 a show they pay him.

Yeah, it's really ridiculous. Sirius is a joke. They'll pay celebrities millions for the rights to use their names on a channel but they refuse to pay actual talent. It's astonishing. Music channels are nice and everything, but in the age of iPods and MP3 players and cars that come equipped with USB ports and bluetooth connectivity they're not anywhere near worth paying $20+ a month for. Original content that you can't hear anywhere else is. And Sirius is all but trying to get rid of that. Because why? It affects their bottom line? Turns off what few stockholders they still have? Without original, bold content satellite radio is useless to anyone but truckers maybe.

If a company can't afford to pay a guy $150/month, they're either lying or they're on the brink of collapse. Or both. Sirius is still trying to operate based on a FM radio mentality. If they think they can survive like that, they're out of their minds. If they're really trying to come off as fiscally smart, stop overpaying talent like Howard and stop paying to use people's names. How is the Boneyard any different because you're paying Ozzie a few million to call it Ozzie's Boneyard?

Ron and Fez was great today. Bobby and Vos killed it and Kurt Metzger and Sherrod Small were great too. O&A was also really good once Bobby and Vos came on; and the Neil DeGrasse Tyson segment was fantsatic with how retarded everyone in that room was. I can't believe stupid Vos actually asked him about the Bermuda ~~Triangle~~ Twiangle. When Vos suggested Neil bring him on the show and teach him science and Jimmy said, "Yeah, he could say 'And this is my friend, Dumb Talking Turtle'" I was drinking coffee and nearly choked.

Dr Steve tweeted a link that showed that Liberty Media, the majority owner in SiriusXM, posted a really solid earnings report this quarter. The company is operating at a profit but they have no interest in investing in talent aside from Howard. They think people should just sign over their podcasts and all of their IP rights to Sirius for free and Sirius can get richer off of content they didn't even have to buy. The arrogance and sheer ineptitude of that mindset is truly staggering. gently caress them right to hell.

The most amazing thing happened with that today. When they all acted like it was Ant, Jimmy used that to indirectly call Opie stupid. It was joking I know but I don't think I've ever heard Jimmy go after Opie since I've listened to the show.

I'm looking forward to it too. And as much as I hate Bobo, the best thing about this bit is that it will drive him up the wall. He's going to be calling in constantly begging to be an intern and pitching the exact bits O&A have already talked about. He's already probably desperately spamming their twitters as we speak.
