CHronology of the Breakdown.DUring the 9:00 hour, Ron and Fez are doing a break on how people pronounce words.  Bobo is sitting in.  It's mainly Bobo and Ron discussing words with callers.The hotline rings, and Brian answers it.Ron questions Brian who was on the hotline.  Brian responds it was Cameron, who asked "Where is Fez?" and apparently an implication that Fez is "dogging it".You can hear a pin drop, and then Ron just loses it, questioning what the hell Cameron does as a Program Director.First shot: "I talk to New York, and they say you're just a secretary!"Second shot: "You want to talk about dogging it?  How about you CALL FEZ for the last month?""You're not a program director, you're just a guy who likes to watch paint dry!"Ron just BLASTED Cameron, defending Brian, Fez, the Hideout, and then threatened that the "Your Mom's Box" show will be about what a clusterfuck WJFK is.Also, Ron would take a call, the caller would get two words out, and then Ron would stop him and go back to bashing Cameron viciously.  It happened a few times.Mikey, am I missing anything?

Pizza is delivered.Ron: "Go.  Eat some slices."Brian: "Everyone's afraid to move, Ron."Apparently, somebody fucking with Fez is Ron's personal kryptonite. Ron wants to talk wrestling, which is a Cameron Gray no-no.  HEre we go, folks.

This is the beauty of R&F.  Where Opie, Howard, or Don would complain about stuff, R&F get much more subversive.  The insiders/long time fans know the higherups frown on the wrestling talk, and they've been discussing OLD SCHOOL (60's-70's) wrestling for the last 30 minutes.  Even though I'm not a fan, it's hysterical.

Ron was genuinely PO'd

I will make sure they get some WWE event tickets at the very least. I know they were talking wrestling to spite the PD but I loved Fez's impression of Andre the Giant the other day too. I should of told Fez when I was on the air....

HOLY SHIT s all I can say. I have never heard Ron even close to that Candid on the show. That was real emotion. Not just put out an opinion that is against the grain to start a topic. He was pissed, and he really stuck up for Fez. It came out tonight that they hate DC and the management and the whole situation. They really went on the offensive instead of "not making waves"I wonder who ron calls in NYC? Head management?When Ron said don't call back or I will rip this phone out of the wall and chase you down the damn street with it you could here how serioous he was. And he called Cameron a secratary!they really dick them around, and I am so glad to hear ron get some shit out

Wow. Talk about cringe radio...and totally unlike Ron or Fez. But...I'm skeptical BECUASE this is so unlike them, especially Ron.I have no doubt Ron would really stand up for Fez like that...but given all the shit radio management has put them through over the last 5 years, what could have made him snap like this?  Yeah, there's a lot of secret stuff behind the scenes right now that I don't know, but it's so out of the blue.What if this is all part of "the bit"...and Cameron is in on it?  Ron IS that goddamn brilliant...

Wow. I think we've all been waiting for months to hear candid info like that. There are so many details that I'd just love to hear from R&F regarding the whole WJFK vs XM situation that I'm sure we'll never hear about. Punking Cameron, mentioning NYC, the your moms box line, talking about his agent, and mentioning "you know what we want", etc...damn. Ron WENT OFF but he deffinately showed a lot of restraint by not pulling back the curtain too much. I want to see whats behind the curtain damnit. I wonder if we'll hear about this on Monday? I was sooo happy that Ron didn't just vent, go to commercial break, and then move on to another topic. That fact that we went to break and come back still talking about it and went right into the wrestling FU was funny as hell and really satisfying to hear. So you guys think there will be an "aftermath" on Monday? I can't imagine what that would entail...

Now we all here how he really feels.  Does anyone still think this isn't going to happen?  It is a matter of HOW SOON!!!!   FUCK WJFK, DON & MIKE, CAMERON GREY!!!!  You had 2 of THE BEST guys in radio and you treated them like SHIT!!!  I CAN'T wait for the REAL your mom's box show! BRING BACK THE BIG ASS CARDS!!!!!

I was stunned while listening to Ron tonight. It's not often that I drive my car by myself and repeatedly chant, "oh my God, oh my God". And then to be followed up by nearly 90 minutes of wrestling talk...  this was even better than when they started out the show with all punk rock music the night after the FCC crackdown caused the Infinity lawyers to lower the boom on the guys!

Oh, man I can't wait until I get off the 12-24 hour delay and can hear
R&F on my XM. I hate the way they get treated by their station in
DC, there hasn't been a live event in a long time, it seems that they
have given up on R&F, and they really didn't promote R&F as
much as they could have.

If I missed that someone already said this, I apologize...  WJFK is now running self promotion spots saying they are "free radio". Of course R&F slipped a "getting the band back together" drop during one of the commercials, tonight. It's pretty cheezy that JFK is touting the "free" aspect.

1 - Not a bit - if it was a bit they would have taken Cameron's call on the air and milked it even more.

2 - Who else was expecting them to just walk out? After all of the rumors, speculation, hints the last month and the meltdown last week, it really seemed like that was the direction it was all going to go.

3 - REALLY shitty of Cam-Daddy to do that. If he had been listening to the show, he would have heard plenty of Fez on the show. Just leave it alone, you worthless tool - you had your chance to get involved and help the show, and from all accounts on the air you blew it.

4 - This is clearly not as simple as a "WJFK vs. XM" thing. Mentioning their agent both this week and referncing him last week indicates that THEY are trying to stay with 106.7, but (as they have said) there are things that they want. Talk about stand up guys - Infinity doesn't deserve them.

5 - The spots promoting WJFK as "free radio" is both a reaction to their morning show going to Sirius in nine little months and the rumors about R&F - and it's a little ballsy, considering the 20 minutes of fucking commercials they run an hour.

6 - How cool was it that they were able to take that and move the show on? If this had been any other show out there, they would have obsessed and brooded and pouted for the next 2 hours. ANY show. Not The Ron or The Fez; they figured out how to make it funny and go with it, yet still underscore their frustration. Brilliant!

7 - Cameron never came across as behind the show as he should have been. Not like a Jeremy or an Alan. And from anyone listening to the station, it seems like Cam has no real power or effect at the station since the one show he really liked - The Hideout - he couldn't save (something else Ron referenced).

8 - Since Fez's meltdown was last week, and Ron's was this week, who will have next week's meltdown, and how soon before listeners get to come in and loose it?

Hey - as Tenbats said earlier (and this must be a first; he and I agreeing on more than one thing in one night), Howard, Opie and Don of their shows would have done nothing more than complain and bitch.

Ron and Fez moved the show forward, getting things back to their comedy and entertaining, but the undercurrent of what they were doing was still there. They were able to remain pissed AND be funny doing it. I can't think of too many talk shows that can pull that off.

04-08-2005, 11:24 PM

<blockquote />1. Agreed... it wasn't a "bit"2. I kind of thought they might walk out, too.3. I can't think of a good reason for Cameron to call. The show was progressing nicely.4. I've had the feeling that R&F would be happy to stay, if managment would bend on some issues.5. Twenty minutes of commercials makes it very hard to stay interested. Do they really have that many listeners interested in buying diamonds?6. It was VERY cool, that they kept the show rolling!7. The mention of Cameron's support of The Hideout was very noticeable.8. Who else is left to "meltdown"? Unless R&F both meltdown simultaniously... But wouldn't that cause the world to implode? <img src="http://www.geocities.com/pauleight/papabearsig.jpg" border="0" />

After listening to that I am pretty certain that one way or another they are done there. You can hear the pure frustration in Ron's voice. The last time I heard Ron talk like that, it was when he fought on air with Ron Diaz for that last time. I'm not saying this was their last show, but I do think they will be moving on somewhere. For me personally I hope it will be XM.

I relistened to the bit, and this is very telling:Around the 7 minute mark, Ron says, "They know what we want.  And they can just easily say, "You're right, we're wrong."That, to me, is a HUGE red flag for a XM simulcast.

I think R&F have hated DC and the management since they have gotten down their. They started with the dual shifts, then all the BS with losing an hour on mondays. They do not know how to manage that station. I really feel like the management steers the show way to much. I def. do not want to turn this into a NY vs. DC thread, but listen to the older shows. I have been listening at work lately a lot. The 2002 year was the best radio I have ever heard. Ron was simply amazing, and Fez was more in the old Fez charector with being kind of Gay but you don't know. The girls in the studio and the drinking, and just the quick witted comments Ron used to make. He just knows how to work a room with slighlty off color comments and stuff. He is a comic genius and I HATE to see him and how censored he is. I can not wait for them to be off that fucking station and somewhere were they can thrive and do their show, not this BS.

There's been talk that the evening duo (left) may be headed to satellite radio (XM?) or back to their old radio stomping ground of Florida. Now, we hear that Ron Bennington went into a royal rage on the air Friday against WJFK Program Director Cameron Gray. Gray, you'll recall, is responsible for stuff like cutting off Howard Stern's show before (sometimes way before) 10 AM, and putting old fart Bill O'Reilly in variety of midday slots on allegedly young male-oriented 106.7. After Gray called Ron off-air, wondering why Fez Whatley was being too quiet on Friday's show, Ron fired off an on-air verbal missile to Gray: "You're not the program director here. You've never been one".....

quote: Why does mentioning their agent mean they're trying to stay?  Wouldn't anything go through the agent? Correct.  I think they are trying to either re-negotiate a contract to include broadcast to XM, or trying to set up their contract that puts them in the catbird seat, rather than JFK manipulating their every move.Or, again, perhaps if it's a longterm deal, the Agent is trying to negotiate an "out" for them.

There was no bullshit about that rant at all. NOBODY in radio works as hard, and as well as Ron and Fez to put on the best show they can under whatever circumstances are surrounding them. They've been dicked around with shift changes, split shifts, losing an hour here and there for other programming, etc... They still put on a good face for the company just to keep everything cool. And it seems there's no appreciation from management at all.There's only so much they are going to take before it's "Up against the wall motherfuckers!".

The situation was "better" at WNEW compared to WJFK, but overall they still treated R&F more like a burden than as a damn good radio show that they should PROMOTE and treat like decent human beings (all the schedule changing at the drop of a hat).  I think both stations have had good and bad members of the show staff pretty evenly.  Honestly, if you split the difference and had Billy and Rory as the phone guy and producer and then El Jefe and Dubs filling the other behind the scenes rolls, THEN you'd have the ultimate R&F staff that could actually get the job done, and done well.It's basically like saying Pol Pot was a "better" tyrant than Hitler...at the end of the day, your situation is still pretty shitty and your own station is acting like you barely exist.The boys deserve a LOT better than both WNEW and WJFK.<img src="http://scripts.cgispy.com/image.cgi?u=TheMojoPin" border="0" /> 1979 << On the streets of your town... >> "You can tell some lies about the good times we've had, but I've kissed your mother twice...and now I'm working on your dad..."

I agree 100% Mojo. They were treated second best to O&A, and really go not promotion. A huge portion of their listeners came from Ant being on their show and going to their gigs and O&A talking about them. But although there was no advertising for them, at least they were not being told what to do and what kind of show to put on. If you listened to them in Florida and NY, its obvious that this DC version of the show is much different. I am sure for some people it is better and for some people the NY show was better. But I think it should be up to the radio talent to decide what kind of show they want to do, and then if managment likes they will fit them in to their station. It should not be the other way around

Hey, at the end of the day, they need to get where it's best for them and they can finally get a little respect.WJFK and WNEW are the exact opposite of where they SHOULD be.  I don't really give a damn what WNEW did or didn't do, because they failed R&F already, just like WJFK is doing now.  I'm not giving either of these stations credit for ANYTHING.I don't know if XM is the answer, but something needs to change.  It's getting ridiculous.<img src="http://scripts.cgispy.com/image.cgi?u=TheMojoPin" border="0" /> 1979 << On the streets of your town... >> "You can tell some lies about the good times we've had, but I've kissed your mother twice...and now I'm working on your dad..."

I think they need a morning or afernoon drive spot on any station where they are the big time. They need to be the #1 show, not playing second fidle to O&A or D&M. They need the full attention of the station and should be able to  get and use as many resources as they want

If
I remember correctly, things were going really well for R&F in the
month before O&A blew up WNEW. I still remember the story they were
telling about how they went out for dinner with management and Fez got
the huge steak. And I remember how in the shows following Sex for Sam,
they were talking about how their careers had taken 180 degree

I doubt anybody know's for sure, but where would they make the most money? Afternoon/morning drive in FLA or someplace else? Any time slot back in NYC, WFJK, or XM? I know NYC would be the biggest market and morning drive or afternoon drive would be the prime time slots, but with XM being a possibility and DC (good sized market number 8 i think?) and FLA thrown into the mix, what are your guys thoughts? Any clue how XM pays compared to regular radio? And at this point in their careers whats most imortant to them...the paycheck, the locale, the respect, their work environment? There are tons of factors going into this decision for them I'm sure.

Mikey you do not think that they make take the afternoon drive time slot on XM? I can see it happening, to have 2 live shows on at the prime spots.  As for what WNEW did wrong to R&F BEFORE SFS3, they def. did not promote them (from what i remember) O&A had billboards and other stuff while R&F had nothing. Also, they were kind of slow on syndicating them to other markets. O&A worked so well with R&F, it may have made more sense to follow up O&A with R&F in some of the other markets sooner. I am no radio guy, and my memory is hazy so i may be wrong on all this. BUt i def. do remember feeling like they kind of got the short end of the stick. So many more people heard about O&A, regardless of if they listened to the show, but no one really knew of R&F.

WNEW did not "fail" Ron and Fez. Bullshit.  WNEW was all about O&A, and all of the other programming on that station was treated almost as an afterthought.  WNEW did a piss poor job of promoting R&F, and they failed to even attempt to nurture and build a strong station instead of O&A and supporting cast.  R&F were treated as the fillers -- the guys who would do any schedule change asked of them, rather than trying to stick them in a consistent spot to allow an audience to develop.  Also, knowing that O&A push the envelope and could possibly go overboard, they did nothing to plan for the black hole that would occur should O&A implode.  That's "fail" in my book.

To all the people who say Ron and Fez werent pushed to succeed on WNEW:

management did nothing to help them succeed but O and A did alot. I remember in the early days of the ron and fez show when they were on 11-3am and O and A were huge at this time Anthony would come in and finish the show with them. this was when no one knew who ron and fez were. Anthony comes on and now the O and A fans tune in. O and A did alot for ron and fez. once people tuned in they heard how funny ron and fez were and listened anyway.

JPMNICK

04-09-2005, 02:49 PM

MIkey I agree about them still being in the shadow of O&A, but this time it will only be 2 shows on the station. Maybe Opie has a plan. He seems to really know the workings of radio. I think he really wants this channel to succeed, esp. with howard moving to Sirius and programming 3 channels. I think it comes down to not only a competition of shows, but one of PD's. And I think Opie is trying to set himself up for a future corporate job. I think he wants to be a PD somewhere, or maybe take over something at XM like head of talk programming. He seems to think he really knows how to run shit better than these people, and he has said it no matter where he was working. who knows. WNEW failed R&F huge. They are the reason R&F are in the situation they are in now. They were #1 market with gaining raitings when that station got pulled. It may have not been all WNEW, since O&A technically could not have been put on the bench and still be allowed to broadcast if the upper management would have said it was OK. So maybe Infinity failed them. Maybe it goes all the way up to Mel. Who knows. to late know though because its a world of shit at this moment.

Interesting that this conversation is happening right now because I had thought of posting a WNEW vs. WJFK poll earlier this last week, but I thought no matter how it would be worded ("Which station treated R&F Better?" vs. "Which station treated R&F Shittiest?"), it would come across as baiting and degenerate into another tiresome NY vs. DC debate.

WNEW did fail the boys, for all the reasons listed above, and WJFK is failing them now. In both places, though, they did have advocates in managment; Jeremy in NY and Alan in DC - problem right now is that Alan is no longer here.

WNEW managment at the time was simply former WJFK managment - Jeremy and Ken were both transplants from DC, who tried to replicate what worked here, but without Stern in the morning.

Current WJFK managment is a cluster fuck; Cameron is NOT a bad guy, but he is not effective in this job because he's being micromanaged by people above him.

For a look at how these kind of stations should be managed should look at where Dubs and Jefe are going in Orlando; that's a station that is showing a commitment to the talk format. If evening drive or middays opened up, I wouldn't be shocked if The Ron and The Fez showed up there if things don't work out.

"Band Back Together" = playing with the speculation.  
A different time slot wouldn't be EASY, because it means a
restructuring of the Junkies and O'Reilly's contracts.
Which could be why there are problems now; if it was easy, it
would be
done. The fact that there appear to be negotiations at all shows that
R&F want to stay. We don't know a lot, but we do know from what
they have said that they would like to have had the midday slot. 
Simulcasting R&F to XM would be EASY.
It would mean Infinity would have to either change their blanket
policy, or it would be creating a "Ron and Fez" exception - that
doesn't seem any easier.
And didn't Brian play "Learning to Fly" too?
Yup.

How can anyone think they want to stay agfer hearing what Ron said?  Listen closely.  "What Fez has gone through for the last 2 years"  "I just want to ride it out"  That doesn't sound like they want to stay.  They probably want to get released from their contract early.  That's my opinion.

Stop pretending WJFK put a gun to their heads and signed them on against their wills.
Again - R&F had opportunities both last year and the year before to
jump to someplace else and they didn't. At those times the best offer
(we can assume) was where they are now. Is that the case now? Will that
be the case in a month or two? Who knows, but them.

With all of the scuttle talk in places like DCRTV of other markets and
sat talking to them, the best assumption, since Ron and Fez are stand
up guys and don't try to get out of contracts early, is that their
current contract is up for negotiations right now. If they were done
with Infinity and WJFK, it would just end without notice or even
mention of an agent coming to town to talk.

"What Fez has gone
through for the last 2 years"

Based on their talk from last year, it was a reference to both personal
and professional stuff, some of which would have happened no matter
where they were. It does not sound like WJFK made things easier, and
more than likey made things more difficult, but there is no guarentee
anywhere else could have either.

the last month aside, Fez has talked
about a big difference between this year and last year; about being off
of the meds, and of going out and doing things with friends more.

If evening drive or middays opened up, I wouldn't be shocked if The Ron and The Fez showed up there if things don't work out. It would be great if The Boys could go back to Florida where they are appreciated! Some interesting scenarios:Since The Monsters are on from 6:00-11:00 in the morning on Clear Channel's WTKS 104.1 in Orlando, a plausible spot for Ron & Fez would be the 11:00-3:00 pm slot currently held by the indistinct Shannon Burke Show.  Although the 3:00-7:00 pm drive show would be the ideal lead-in to El Jefe & J Dubs' 7:00-11:00 show, it is currently held by station linchpin Jim Philips, and unless he quits I don't see that happening.Another possibility would be to take over Howard Stern's slot on cross-town rival WOCL's 105.9 when he leaves later this year.  It's an Infinity station, but only ventured into the talk format with Stern when Clear Channel gave him the boot off of WTKS.  Since they play music the rest of the day, I wonder about their ability and/or willingness to devote the necessary resources to producing and promoting The Ron & Fez show to the degree that it deserves, and since it is an Infinity station, perhaps Our Buddies would rather look elsewhere considering how they've been treated the last couple of years.An irony of ironies would be their ending up on the station that was basically named after their previous incarnation: Orlando's WJRR 101.1  The slogan was "Just Ron & Ron in the mornings, Just Rock & Roll the rest of the day."  They currently play The Fiasco in the mornings with Taco Bob & Pat Lynch but aside from a few funny bits here and there it is painful to listen to and could easily be moved or eliminated.  It would be kismet if they came full circle and ended back up on this Clear Channel property.  Perhaps they could change the station's call letters to WJRF?  (And don't forget: a nice feature of these Clear Channel stations of late: Legal Internet Streaming!  Need I say more?)Just some more idle speculation...

It would mean Infinity would have to either change their blanket policy, or it would be creating a "Ron and Fez" exception - that doesn't seem any easier. Hence why Ron and Fez would be talking to New York.  One would think that a contract for their show would go through the PD and the GM of WJFK, since they aren't syndicated anymore.  Why would they be talking to higher-ups in the company in NYC (Joel Hollander?) for just a new contract?  R&F is the only show I can think of that has fan bases in three major population areas - New York, Florida, and DC - and is currently unavailable on a widespread basis to two of them.  Since an outlet doesn't exist in New York (AND WILL NOT EXIST)... one has to think that Ron talking to New York would indicate something much bigger than just a contract re-negotiation.Unless, of course, K-Rock's format change... naaaah, let's not go down that road.

As I said, I don't know anything about R&F's contract, but if we're speculating, I'll say this...Radio contracts aren't like sports contracts, that are extremely long-term.  Howard's last contract was five years, and he's the star player of Infinity.  O&A's contract was three years, and they were considered the heir apparent.  If I was speculating, I would think a one-year deal for a night time show would make sense.  It protects the talent if they want to move on, and it protects the Company if their ratings tank.

I'm so glad the audio of the rant was posted on here. Only Ron could phrase it to Cameron so well:

My agent tells me to stay cool until he gets here. That's all you got going for you right now. Cause if you want to see the Your Moms Box show, I'll do it tonight, bitch.

Has anyone considered XM152 instead of 202? 152 is basicly a dead
channel, there's noting going on there, even though it's "X-treme XM"
They need an anchor show.

I think Opie is trying to get 202 into playing shape for the battle against Stern. With 2 great shows like O&A and R&F they have a solid base. Maybe during the weeks and on weekends they will have guest shows like Norton and Vos or Joe Rogan.

It's been noted before, but a few weeks back, going into break, Ron said something like "For those of you playing along at home, the magic number is 202," so that indeed may be the plan if they go to XM.

"Up to date"?

Dupont has been the center of the DC Gayverse since the dawn of fabulousness - hardly anything secret or new.   

(Hey! Mikeyboy - I just heard they opened up these places called
'Nudie Bars' in an area of Balmer called "The Block!" - what's that
about? Is Baltimore finally going to hell?!) 

 Georgetown, being between two major unviersities is,
universally remembered as the upscale college town from St. Elmos Fire.
Locally, it's kind of the annoying tourist trap, hoity-toity
shopping/drinking/dining district that makes news for man hole covers
blowing up, and Bush twins getting sauced.  

It used to have two of the best art house movie theatres, that
both closed within a year of each other (The Biograph and The Key). I
saw some amazing films in both places. Now all they have is an
annoyingly big, multiplex that stands where my beloved 'Bayou"
nightclub used to be - i still remember in 1986, the Ramones playing
three sold out shows there! There's a scene in the Eddie Murphy film
"Boomerang" (I think) where he goes to a nightclub in New Orleans; for
the exterior shot they simply filmed "The Bayou" sign in DC. 

In movies, Georgetown was featured poorly in both "True Lies"
(Arnold racing on a horse, going in all the wrong directions), and that
Kevin Costner movie ("No Way Out") where he caught a subway in the
middle of Georgetown - oops! There is no Metro stop in Georgetown!
There is, however, the famous "Exorcist" steps, right as you cross the
bridge, next to the Exxon station. Always worth a visit.

Not a shock, since they no longer have room during the days, what with
cutting Stern off at 10 sharp, and the junkies only on for 3 hours, all
to may way for O'Reilly.
I remember when they started Redskins radio, back in 2002, and the

love the Skins, I wish the managment at the station had either some
balls, or some sense of what the audience wants to hears.  That

 There were also
earlier comments to Brian about being the one who always gives them bad
news during commercials, and even earlier Ron said something to Brian
about putting him in a weird position - Brian is the go-between guy
with Cameron, usually. Also early in the show Brian made a comment
about how he LOVES to be with them, and Ron said something to the

DCRTV has become so ridiculous. Maybe it was always that way, but
the way they've played this R&F thing, the D&M produder thing
and especially the way he treated the Hideout's departure from
Washington, has just been so childish lately. 

The buddies get a tour of XM studios and suddenly (ONE MONTH
LATER!) it is a rumor that they are going there; oh wait! R&F are
now going to Florida, but no...it turns out it's the Hideout. Now they
hear it's going to be Las Vegas, but then again R&F are back at the
XM studios signing autographs. OH! But wait - there is exclusive
coverage of something everyone else heard on the radio of Ron getting
mad at managment, and it coincides with DCRTV just now stumbling across
a job listing that's been on the web for weeks...
The Hideout shit in the last couple of weeks really pissed me off
- it's obvious DCRTV Dave has his issues with Jefe, and he just didn't
let it go. Even after they were out of here, Dave was treating them as
if they were fired from WJFK, when in fact, Jefe and Dubs were first
promoted, then demoted, then they quit only after having secured a much
better gig at a station that will actually give them a shot. 


 quote:I only heard them call it "the principle's office" 

 
They mentioned to Brian around 10pm that they were meeting
with Michael Hughes in the Principal's office and I could have sworn
they mentioned Cameron being in there too. Giant Brian asked if he
should join them, and Ron said that it would then be "Two against
Three,' and Brian asked Ron what side he thought he was on, and Ron
said Brian will always be on managment's side to him - for the benefit
of people who haven't heard it, it sounded much more like Ron was
busting balls to be funny than to be mean.

Can somebody please define "your moms box" for me.I have vague memories of OnA saying "your moms box" back in the WNEW days but, I'm failing to see how that ties into RnF and it's current usage.  Is it merely Rons way of saying "soon we'll be back to back with OnA again"?I've been listening for 5 years and it's bothering me that I don't fully undertand the reference!  THANKS.

Jafter - I couldn't agree with you more, but it's not surprising for a company like Infinty, during contract talks, to suddenly make subtle ways to de-value their programs their negotiating with. Stern is out of here, but he is still the biggest name in talk radio, so why not continue to mention him; Redskins may be out of here as well in a year or so if Infinity gets out of sports broadcasting, but it still doesn't hurt mentioning them; D&M is the only show they have locked up for several years. Kind of interesting that they even mention "music" at all in the ad (why even target music disc-jockeys for a station that CAN'T even play music - unless they are covering their asses if they make a "Live 105" kind of flip down the road?), and not surprising they stress working well witht he sales staff; kind of a joke they mention anything about promotions, considering that both WJFK (like the old WNEW) didn't even have a promotions staff! The last promotions persons JFK really had was Jeremy Coleman, before he got promoted 12 years ago.Lazy! Lazy! Lazy! Lazy!Noooo need to promote! Just the fact that Stern is on in the mornings, or D&M are in the afternoons! Ratings will be...errrr...fine? DOH!quote: The ad gets mentioned on DCRTV after someone posts it here.  it was there foist   When was it first mentioned on DCRTV, because the date on there is today's date? Was it in their letter's section?I know that Sat Cam posted the link yesterday on here, and the day before (the 10th) vegeta posted in this thread the content of the ad, (I could have sworn I'd seen it on here before) and Tenbats mentioned it's been posted for about a week.

If this has been mentioned, then the thread is too long. I genuinely thought I read somewhere that Don (of D&M) was the GM of WJFK for a while. I was thinking that the complete and total lack of enthusiasm for the comeback of the "Big Assword" gimmick by R&F on the show was due to non-support for Don, because he had asked them to bring it back. Ron made it seem important in NY. I'm now guessing it may have been due to no original ideas by WJFK management (not DON) all along. Of course this has been happening for a while, but I didn't see any comments on it.  BAC 11925

Mikeyboy,Earlier I wrote a long a boring post about listening "too closely", which I do. And posting, which I don't.Thankfully, my PC f'd up. I had many theories about what was happening and they were lost, forever.As class as my ideas were, I shall not repeat them. But one....As I write this I am as drunk as in the other post. The Big Assword give-away has been treated by R&F as a waste of time. Why? I think some corporates told them they have to do it, ages ago. They put no effort into it. Subtle Ron & Fez genius.not listening close enough? not really. But if I've made myself clear this time, I'd like feedback.

I'm sure that wasn't the original intent, but I'm also sure
they would find it funny if people get bent out of shape; kind of like
the old D&M fans who went nuts because R&F used said "Buddies!"
- something they ran into the ground years ago.
 

Hey! Who knows - maybe it did piss R&F off, but I find it difficult that they wouldn't see the humor in D&M doing that.

Let's stop with the bullshit. "Your mom's box" has been adopted as the universal sign of the last appearence on the station. Ron says it "because hey, you never know" Ferral closed Rock and Ribs with it. Psycho Mark started it and O&A used it a lot. It's become the "kleenex" or "xerox" of our part of the radio. so, just drop it R&F are not fighting with D&M and although I don't listen to D&M I understand they said it in support of Ron and Fez.

Well this is a "Speculation Thread" so this would be the place to post stuff like that even if it's totally wrong. If someone thinks D&M and R&F are fighting or if any date Ron mentions is "The Date" this is the place to speculate about that as long as they keep it civil.

People are way too sensitive, especially when you consider all of the stuff thrown at D&M or co-opted from their show; smells a lot like being able to dish it out by not take it.  How many O&A fans still use the "Love ya Boo Boo" as a slam against D&M? Hell, one time when Bobo was on the show Ron even made a joking reference about it.Don and Mike sound smug because they are smug. It is their role to be the asshole show - they are asses whose show is a shadow of what it was 10 years ago, both in content and influence. However, they still make a ton of money for the company. And, like I said, part of them must have enjoyed another show being in the hot seat with managment for once - especially after they had 3 of their staffers suspended for 2 weeks for a best of issue no one even complained about. Ron, just recently, talked about the stuff he likes most about Don and Mike is when someone is in trouble. And on the flip side, Don even made a joke about Ron hitting Michael Hughes with his car when he found out their boss was in an accident, and this was before last Friday - it made it sound like they are aware of the problems and issues, and it wouldn't surprise me if they talk between shows about some of their mututal frustrations. And because R&F had a long day yesterday, it's more within the realm of reality that they might have even talked between D&M commercial breaks. D&M do not want to be the only show on WJFK - they want Ron and Fez around because if R&F are doing well, it all spills over. Don has even said he puts R&F higher in the peckering order of the station above The Junkies - a show Ron was making fun of last night!The only way to be sure if there is real animosity between the shows now, however, is to wait and see - if R&F re-sign with WJFK and there is a LOOOOOOOONG stretch of time before any interaction, or if R&F go away to another market or satellite and D&M make NO mention of them, except small slams, then yeah maybe there were some raw feelings; if Fez shows up to do a drinking show right away if they re-sign, or if they leave with a warm send off, then odds are not.

I wouldn't call it supportive, but I don't think it's a real attack on R&F. They are just poking fun at what's been on the air since Friday night. R&F would do the same thing (And have regarding Howard Stern and Sirius) only they would do it in a different style: perhaps with humor.

 Begin s'ing my d here...  Geez,
some of y'all are oversensitive.  Let me break it down: 
first, there's no such thing as a flattering impression.  I think
Don's Ron is better than Mike's Ron; Mike's Fez has a touch of Jan
Brady to it that needs to go, but I can't do it, just criticize.

It's
really starting to seem, to me anyway, that they'd stay at JFK without
simulcasting to XM. I'm sure they'd want to if they could, but I don't
see Infinity changing company policy for them. I really doubt they want
to go XM exclusive. I think what they really want is Middays, and that
was the easy thing JFK could do that Ron was referring to in his rant.
Everything else was just them fucking with us. I'd love for them to
come back to NY and be on XM, creating the possibility for AFRO shows,
and most importantly, I could listen to them again. But at this point I
think they'd have to be forced out at JFK for that to happen. 
I
think R&F will end up staying on JFK and they won't be simulcasted
on XM, which will majorly suck for me, but if its what they want, I
can't complain that they didn't change their lives for my sake.Of
course, this is all random speculation from a guy who hasn't even been
able to listen to R&F in forever, and pieced his post together from
message board posts and the few bits of show I can listen to. Which
makes it worse then worthless. 


People like me because I force them to, WITH VIOLENCE!!!!!!!!!!!

You can hear cuts from Breur's show on Sirius's site. I listened to a bunch of them and Breur didn't have the same pizzaz on his own as he did with O&A. (No offense to Breur who's stand-up is hiliarious).

vegeta

04-14-2005, 05:16 PM

O&A recently played a couple old Breuer bits
(about masterbating and Tracy Morgan- two hilarious topics) during
their second live show in Boston (because the live show was stinking)
and it was hilarious. I don't like any repeats, but it was funny as
shit. Too bad basically every comedian blew up when O&A imploded.   
Speaking of comedians, let me get back to my favorite comedian, Ron
Bennington and his pal Fez Whatley. I don't know how long you have to
put out an ad for a radio whow before you put a new one on, but why
would Cameron Gray and Co. be looking for a new radio show for
mornings? That must be the biggest fucking insult to Don and Mike to
not be even considered for mornings on the station that i have to admit
belongs to them. That's really fucked up.  What I
think is that more than one show is flying the coop besides the
obvious, and I think it's The Bad Ass Ron bennington and the Road Dog
Fez Whatley. Fez isn't happy anywhere but Florida, so why not move just
one more time back to New York?

I got another call from another friend who listens to too much radio -yesterday, at about 5:30, Don read an open letter to their boss, Michael Hughes, urging him to do right by both Ron and Fez & The Sports Junkies. My friend, who was sort of out of the loop that D&M have been talking about this for the last week, was pretty surpried to hear it.Just now the Junkies were talking about their current schedule - how they may personally love working 10am - 1pm hours, but that as far as a career move, it's been terrible; they talked openly of wanting a better timeslot.It all seems so easy to fix - when Stern leaves, either D&M or The Junkies in the morning, and the other show in the afternoon drive time. Ron and Fez did an excellent job with the Fastest Hour (tons of positive feedback; fun to listen to at work) and have always seemed to want that 10-2 or 11-3 slot. OF COURSE - there is still O'Reilly, which WJFK just needs to get rid of.Personally - I love R&F on at nights, but it sure has sounded for over a year that they would be much happier out of that timeslot, so whatever they want is what I would give them, if I was King of Infinty - including syndication through both Sirius and XM, like Liddy and other shows. Of course, with the Hideout now gone, there is nothing to move into their current timeslot - nice move, Hughes! Dick! - with maybe the exception of Big O and Dukes or a syndicated Kick ass. Sadly - I don't see that all happening that way. In some respect Infinity has been good to the boys, but too many times they seem to find new and creative ways to dick them around; maybe they might eventually get middays, but maybe the show is only 3 hours, like the Junkies right now, and maybe they pre-empt them some more like they do now at nights. To quote a wise man: "Bastards!"Fez isn't happy anywhere but Florida, so why not move just one more time back to New York?If that was true, wouldn't it be smarter for them to just land a gig in Florida? When talk of Florida and the boys come up, I remember the whole thing with them taking themselves off of their Tampa station last January; IF their contracts are up early this summer, and IF they have any sort of a "no competition" clause in their contracts similar to O&A, then taking themselves off of a Florida station with six months left in their deal may have been a very, very smart move, and would allow them to move right on into a station in one of those southern markets right when they are done here.Of course - are there any stations they can go to? I'm sure they were at least offered the job in Orlando (out of courtesy) that went to the Hideout, but if the problem is more involving timeslot than market, then (of course) they wouldn't take that. If, however, any of the other timeslots opened on that station, or one in Tampa, I'm sure they would be going south - especially since these stations also broadcast on XM.Keeping fingers crossed that whatever happens, they will be happy...

is not part of 'the team." He clearly doesn't fit in, so angling to get
him off to make room for them, which was part of the fastest hour days.
The Junks want out of where they are - R&F want that timeslot -
Stern is out of there at the end of the year -as D&M have alluded
to, some assurances that their situation would improve if they stayed
around. I never thought that they are trying to take the Junkies,
D&M or Stern's timeslot.

R&F on XM would be very smart. The fact is that this is how
radio (and TV) works. It's about finding other quality programs with a
similar audience and putting them together so they feed off each other.
Right now R&F are sharing the dial with the most unlistenably atrociously awful
radio program on the dial. They know this. They hate Don and Mike. They
don't want to be there. Why would they stay? I'm a big O&A
fan, I have XM, and I miss R&F. If they make the jump, I'm there.
If not, well... I'll be disappointed, and I doubt it'll be very good
for R&F's career.

If they dislike anyone it's most probably O'reilly.  I would
say the open letter to Michael Hughs(sp?) that Don 'read' over the air
is probably a good indication that D&M and R&F don't hate each
other.  That's a guess of course.

Produceher

04-17-2005, 01:02 PM

I don't think they hate each other. But I don't think they help each other either.

Ron and Fez do a very different show.

Closer to what O&A do.

That's why the AFRO shows were so funny. Nobody paid them to do those.

Don and Mike have a big fan base at WJFK. And if I liked their show (which I don't) I probably wouldn't like Ron and Fez. (Which I do)

It's hard to like both.

O&A have all this year to prepare for stern at sirius.

I think they want to add to their channel with things that gel with them.

Ron and Fez will rock on XM.

People seem to color their own attitudes towards other shows.   Because someone hates a particular show, they can't conceive that R&F fans could like that show.  The D&M, O&A, and R&F shows are all different animals, and just because R&F can complement one show doesn't mean that they can't complement another.Quite honestly, there are lots or R&F fans who are also D&M fans, O&A fans, and/or Hideout fans.  When the old OTL show was on in Baltimore and R&F were too, there was a big overlap among those fans as well.  I would guess that there are a good number of R&F fans who overlap with fans of all of the shows on WJFK, (except, of course, O'Reilly).

train wreck. Don
and Mike is like if you took two of those morning zoo dipshits like
John Debella that hate each other and have no chemistry and let them
get to where they were old and had nothing to talk about, and told them
to do Howard Stern's show. It's a trainwreck, and anyone who laughs at
it is either hopelessly out of touch or else just did a gram of
shrooms. 
 Anyway, I haven't heard much R&F since they left NY,
but I used to listen constantly, so I'm not a total stranger or
anything, just because I'm new here.

So, this has morphed into another "Do Ron & Fez like Don and Mike Speculation Thread" again, hmmmm? As
Mikey indicated, there were people who actually liked all three shows;
there are tons of people who like R&F and O&A only; there are
Don and Mike fans in other parts of the country who have sought out
R&F as well, from hearing them mentioned on D&M (including
Johnny Fairplay, from 2 Survivors ago who has called Ron and Fez out of
the blue when he heard them talking about him - even though he is in
California).I also know there are O&A fans that never got
into Ron & Fez (I know two such people - losers!), and I'm sure
there are D&M fans that don't like R&F either (even bigger
losers) - and I KNOW (!) there are folks who like only R&F and
can't stand any other show.So what? If we were taught anything
from television in the 1970s & 1980s, "The world don't move to
the beat to just one drum - what might be right for you - might not be
right for some."Gus out.

Don and Mike don't even like each other. This is more or less a matter of public record. Anyway,
anyone who enjoys Don and Mike should have their face dragged along a
trail of broken glass. It's that simple. I mean there's alot of radio
shows I don't like because they simply aren't my thing, or I find the
hosts abrasive, or are too opinion based/propogandic, etc, but at least
they're real radio. D&M try so hard to be funny and fail so

this is part love of ron and fez,and mostly hate of don and mikeI used to listen to ron and fez in the WNEW days ,both the "ron and fez dot com " format and the ron and fez show that they did when they werent on overnites,they are really funny,and have great chemestry.If you love ron and fez you will love them more on satellite.the price of the radio is worth it just for the 2 month swearathon you will get as they start to streatch there wings after getting out from under the evil FCC's "seven words" shacklesnow its time to piss on don and mikes paradeWhen the powers that be at infinity had a meeting to determine who would have the weight of the empire placed on there shoulders after whoo hoo goes extraterrestrial,a list was assembled containing the names of all the airstaff infinity had in the stable who were thought to have national appeal,or real barrier breaking talent,and nowhere on this list did the names of don and mike appear.That is correct not for one millisecond did they even think of turning over to dong and spite all that prime timeslot realestate.Infinity may not know who will be the heir to howards throne,but they do know that whoever it is will fit between the armrests.When you get a chance to do radio in NYC and your show spins into the hudson on fire as if it somehow caught antiaircraft fire ,your future access to national airtime is somewhat limited,and deservedly so.I tried to listen to don and mike when they were in NY,I really did,but between the annoyingly voiced,vacuous wife beamed in from the movie fargo ,and the equally interesting firebrand son of his whos middle name is apparently "deadair" you have 2 outs on 2 pitches,factor in his wife calling him pookie,and you have a new inning  before the fatter one even has a chance to have a fatal heart attack trying to move his immence earth shaking girth to the plate under his own power without his "dom deleuse mobile""I've seen alot of strange things during my tenure here as principal of westerburg high.Angel dust,satanism,sexually explicit photography exibits involving tennis raquets,but this suicide buisness,this is really more marshas area of expertize,was this dead heather a cheerleader?I would give them half a day off for a cheerleader?"

I don't have an agenda.
Just trying to adequately convey my contempt for the Don and Mike
program. I was posting here because I genuinely do like/miss the Ron
and Fez show and want to see them where they can better connect with an
audience that will dig the show. I think that O&A and R&F had
much more of a mutually beneficial relationship than they have with
D&M, and I think that much is hard to argue. Of course not everyone
is going to like both, but it's a good pairing.   Yes, I beat my point into the ground. I just really don't like those guys.

<hr width="100%" size="2" />   WNEW
f'ed up, not O&A, if you ask me. The broadcast was clean from an
FCC standpoint. The reason they were fired was because the suits felt
that the bad press was going to cost them more than they were worth to
keep on board. This was clearly not the case, as WNEW just withered and
died without them. Now it's in dead last place. Pulling O&A was a
mistake, and wasn't nccessary. Anyway, it's not like a move
to XM would snatch them away from Washington. Grab an XM. They're like
$50, now. Anyone who really is a fan of the show can get one if it's
that important to them. The loyal core audience will still have access
to them, and they will be opening themselves up to alot of new people
on a rapidly expanding platform, as well. And you'd get to hear the
show with 1/10th of the commercials, to boot.

 Begin your response here... You
are dumber than a box of rocks ... what was being implied was that if
you weren't such a douche, someone may have hooked you into the good
ol' syndication underground ... but it's too late now ... ass. Just
so you know, I too enjoy O&A. I listen to them every morning
on my commute. I also listen to D&M at work and then Ron and
Fez on my way home. There are parts that I like about each show,
and parts I hate (well except Ron and Fez ... they are definitely my
favorites). But these opinions are not relevant to the board's
subject. The thing that bothers me the most is that your posts
have nothing to do with Ron and Fez going to satellite ... it is clear
that all you want to do is to march to O&A's drummer and blindly
follow whatever they say. All your posts show this bias,
including your comments about how O&A were so much better for
R&F ... hmm I seem to remember them getting ultimately fired
because of O&A ... I also see D&M openly campaigning for
R&F to get a new contract. Facts that you may want to
consider my friend. 
You can listen to somebody and still keep an open mind, you don't have to follow them blindly. Think for yourself. Please go away you easily led automoton. Oh and try not to suck any dick on the way to the parking lot.
