The joke is really on Ron Diaz in that clip because Fez was making bunny ears behind his head the whole time.
I'm glad its just Ron and Fez...that guys voice was more annoying than Bob Buchman's.

I'd like an order of UH UH!
With a side of some UH UH!

[Johnny4]

Hey, At least that story has a happy ending. UMM maybe not. <P>

[PanterA]

What an asshole he was being. From the sound of it, that other Ron wouldnt go to show meeting or even talk to his partners.

From what i can make out on that clip is the show was moving and Ron bought a new house where ever they were going and the other Ron guy didnt want to go for some reason.

Weird...it sounds like Ron and Fez had no idea that was coming.

Yes it's true, Ron Diaz's wife did die from AIDS, I believe sometime around 1993. Up until that point, they were on top of the world. They had become one of the most popular radio shows in the counry. They were syndicated across the state, and in several cities throughout the Southeast. When Diaz's wife got sick, they were in at dark point in their lives, and were heavily involved with drugs. Right around this time Paxson bought the show and wanted to move it to Miami. They flew the boys down to tour their new studios at 610 WIOD, home of legendary Miami talk show host Neil Rogers. He had the boys on the air, since they were his soon-to-be lead in. Neil did his usual schtick and ripped the boys. He especially poked fun a Diaz, who looked like a walking zambie, because he was still extremely distraught over his wife's death. Rogers called Diaz a "cigar store idian" becuase he said he expressed not emotion during the interview. Tommy Krammer, Ron and Ron's talent coach, was very upset at Rogers for this. A few weeks later, Diaz announced that he would be leaving the show, and never made the move down to Miami. Ron Diaz and Ron Bennington had a big argument on the air about it. After Diaz left, Paxson tried replacing him with a few guys. One guy was named Billy Hayes, and the other was Sonny Fox, but it didn't work out. It wasn't the same, and the show was eventually cancled sometime around 1996. About a year later, The Monsters of the Midday, who were big fans of Ron and Ron, had Ron Bennington, Fez Whatley, Billy the Phone Freak, Paul O. and Mitchel Walters on the show for a reunion. Ron and Fez explained what happened and anounced they would soon get back into radio. Shortly after, Ron and Fez landed Mornings on 93.1 The KRO in Daytona Beach. They rebuilt there show and recruited station employees and interns to characters, similar to what they did in the old days. One of these guys, later became Tuddle, who is now on the Monsters of the Midday. They were on the KRO for about a year and a half, when they were hired by Infinity Broadcasting. They moved the show to WJFK in Washington, DC and later WNEW in NY were they were on late nights. After a few months, they started to get a cult following. Eventually they were moved to evenings, where there lead in would be Opie and Anthony. Their show took off. Besides O&A, they had the most popular show on the station. They soon became friends with O&A and that is when Ron and Fez really got noticed. After The Radio Chick was fired, they were moved to middays for a while, but soon when back to nights when the station brought in Don and Mike. They then went back to nights. They were doing great until a few months ago, when Don and Mike were fired from the station, for ther battles with O&A. They replaced Don and Mike mid-days, but continued doing there night show as well. This lasted until a week ago, when Opie and Anthony got fired. R&F replaced them in Afternoons. Friday, R&F announced they would be moving back to middays, and that soon, WNEW would be changing formats. They mentioned that they may or may not be in the stations plans. If not, Infinity promised them a spot in a another market. Could be Tampa...........

P.S. Ron Diaz and Billy The Phone Freak do the Morning show on Thunder 103.5 in Tampa.

Yikes! Harsh stuff. Poor Ron sounds so tired and resigned. I wonder what was going on behind the scenes that wasn't aired.

[DC Reed]

that depressed me, cause it was like hearing friends just die over the radio.

that musta been what it sounded like when any of our favorite bands broke up.

sad stuff, but serious cringe radio.

SINCE WHEN DID THE JAPANESE DRINK MILK!?

[Mr.Radio]

This was definitely a low point in their radio carrer. Diaz's wife had just died, and they were heavily involved with drugs. It is quite amazing how well R&F have managed to bounce back. Even Ron Diaz is doing quite well for himself on Thunder 103.5 in Tampa. He has one of the highest rated morning shows in the market. <P>

[Mr.Radio]

Good clip, ron diaz was sounded really mean and everytime ronnie B tried to end it ron diaz get bringing it up <P>
To me, Diaz sounds a little like Opie. <P>

[TheMojoPin]

Man, I forgot Ron B. used to sound like that...his voice was a lot higher and less "New Yawky"...no wonder everythone was thinking he and Fez were gay...

Mr. Radio, good clip but wow that didn't sound good at all.

Ron Diaz sounded like such a dick. Well at least Ron and Fez are happier now... well we hope they are.

[LeonardShelby]

That was great stuff! Nice to hear some show history. I'd also love to hear any old stuff I can get my hands on. I've already been through the whole 'File Library' here on RonFez.net.

Thanks!

Thank you so much, Mr Radio, you've made my day! I looked all over the internet for that clip and I couldn't find it. I'm glad it's just Ronnie and Fezzie now. I've heard other clips of Ron Diaz, and he just sounded like a third wheel.

Oh, by the way, which one's pinky?
