Ron and fez and Don and Mike

[tgrandom]

Do Ron and Fez get along with Don and Mike? I never see any show crossover, except for when some dummy calls ron and fez "radio gods."

I know Don and Mike is a national show, so talking about Ron and Fez would be irrelevant to most of their audience, but it's not like that stops them from talking about Redskins, local weather, etc.

Also, it's not that I think there necessarily should be crossover, since they're two different shows. I'm just curious.

I think the two shows get along on a cordial basis. I remember back in the WNEW days Don and Mike popping up on Ron and Fez after Don and Mike's Bowling contest. There is no AFRO chemistry but I think Don and Mike welcomed Ron and Fez to Washington,and the shows get along in a working relationship.

See Ya!

I've heard Mike say a number of things that makes me think he listens and enjoys the show.

I know I've heard him say "Spy Report" and "Heyyyyy!" a few times.

Don doesn't say anything. Mike is the "cool one" anyway. But how hard is that?

BTW What is the deal with "The Wedding Show" and Rob from D&M hosting it? He used to host the Car show (not Pat Goss but the Dealership that had a "show" on the weekends) Does Rob want his own show?

Ron & Fez seem like they get along with them. Remember a while back Fez was gonna get a make-over on the Don & Mike show.Don seems like hes a prick though. I dont blame Ron & Fez if they dont like them. I also think Don & Mike think that they in fact are "radio Gods" and they arent.

There's not much crossover, but in the few times I hear parts of the D&M show in the car, I HAVE heard them mention R&F, sometimes pushing R&F's events, and especially when the boys go up in the ratings, or when they're talking about how awful O'Reilly is. They'll usually compare Bill's show to the "great show R&F do." It's usually Don doing the talking, too. So while they're not the best of pals or anything, it seems pretty clear that D&M realize they have a good show on the station with R&F.

Things must have been difficult when R&F came down here last year and had to work with D&M.

When the two last worked in the same building, it was at WNEW during a time when Don and Mike took over their old mid-day time spot, and Ron and Fez were pushed back to evenings. This pissed off a lot of R&F fans from the start.

Then Don and Mike began their feud with Opie and Anthony, who Ron and Fez were friendly with. In fact, the first I even knew of the feud (since I didn't listen to either D&M or O&A at the time) was Ron making jokes about Mike, and I remember thinking - hmmmmm, that seemed like an inside gig.

About 2 or 3 months later from that was the big blow up with the shows, the station; both sets of the feuding millionaeres tried to bring Ron and Fez into in - O&A by making an "alliance" with R&F, and D&M claiming that R&F only sided with O&A to kiss up to them. Soon, D&M were off the air in NY, and O and A had sex in the church with some listerners - can't remember the details.

Ok...so R&F come to DC after WNEW flips the switch, and have to follow D&M. On the first day, Ron and Fez came into the studio w/ Don and Mike, and the four made peace. Don appologized for the stuff that was said then, as did Mike, and they made a pitch to their affiliates to pick up R&F too.

Since then, there have been only a few back and forths. I know once Buzz Burbank (D&M's news guy) got drunk on the air, and Ron came in because it was hysterical; Fez was talking about doing something with them, like "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," but nothing came of that. Last summer Don even called into their show, and played along with Fez's fiance in Canada bit - about them getting married.

For a while, both shows were really good at mentioning each other, or referencing each other's shows, and time to time I think they still do - at least to show that the shows aren't produced in a vacuume.

I think things went south, however, last October. There were two events that happened back to back, neither of which Ron and Fez had any control over, that I think really hurt/pissed off D&M, who (quite honestly) are babies sometime, and they have let a cooling period take place.

I don't know - as I said, I'm just a knucklehead on a messageboard. There may be nothing go on.

It would be wonderful if all the shows at the station got along famously, and maybe if D&M had bothered to go to the JFK Holiday Party this year and get drunk with Ron and Fez (the fact that Ron and Mike are both golfing Irishmen should indicate that they have somethings in common!) they could have really buried the hatchet, but as long as the shows aren't "throwing each other under the bus," then that's at least an improvement from the way things opporated at WNEW! It's not that important, I think, that the shows get along, or even like each other off the air.

While I never believed what Don said about R&F trying to glom onto O&A's coattails, I do not believe that R&F and O&A were as cozy as friends at the listeners would have liked to have believed - once again, though, just my belief, based on nothing.

Don and Mike do, however, consistantly still talk about how the station needs to get rid of Bill O'Reilly, and that the weekends and after 11pm are a mess; how the programmers and managers need to leave the rest alone - meaning their show, Howard's show and Ron and Fez, which (I think) is pretty solid support.

To echo what's been said before, I think they are cordial with each other. I remember Mike being very complimentary about Ron cracking him up (they were at some WJFK-party I think) and Don has commented on Fez's football knowledge.

I must have missed all of Don's comments, I don't listen to them much, but do catch them in the car on the way home...

Doesn't seem like it. Most of the stuff I talked about with O'Reilly and the ratings and Don pushing R&F's show has been what I've heard on the way to work in the last month or so.

Ron & Fez Show Log (http://www.osirusonline.com/ronfez.htm)

[curtoid]

The dynamics of these shows are so weird and interesting; Stern takes glee in bashing his coworkers on the show, listeners and the public; O&A went after their competition and bosses but seemed to pretty much leave their fans and coworkers alone; Don and Mike's inner core is pretty tight, but they always are at odds with the station managment and have made a career out of being hated by listeners, and seem to enjoy that, to the point where they really give their actual fans major shit; Ron and Fez pretty much save it all up and take it out on their producer, or (if there is any left) the hangers on, but only if they are really inside.

Don & Mike didn't get along with Opie & Anthony.

I like that.

Oh, I forgot something important... I'd like to add a 4th line to my poem:

Stern doesn't get along with anybody.
