I dont' know if it's just because I love Mr. B, but whenever I see a thread like this I see it as Razzle Dazzle bait.Ron and Fez are best friends.  I'm sure if you were 100% comfortable in a situation with your best friend you'd bust his balls pretty hard too without thinking about it (and without him getting offended).  I never feel like Ronnie is going over the top or being truely malicious (wow... I can't spell).

If he wasn't mean somtimes than it wouldn't be half as funny. If you want the Happy Happy Joy Joy Show then maybe you should look elsewhere.<img src="http://members.cox.net/jsbaker55/pics/ren-n-stimpy.gif" border="0" width="437" height="415" />

I couldn't imagine the show if Ron was a Sammy Sweetheart, or even a Norman NiceGuy.

No, I don't think Ron is mean. Actually he must be a very good guy. Who else would take a chance on ESD someoe with no radio experence whatsoever.

I think its just a matter of frustration sometimes. He is obviously the backbone of the show, especially since Fez's heart attack. I imagine it must be tough when your in a professional situation and you've got Earl stuttering, Dave hitting the wrong buttons, and Fez crying. I think I'd lose my cool as well. That being said, I think the show has been great this past week. Ever since the Mr. Perfect bit Earl has been much sharper. Dave has been much better lately, especially with the Board Gossip bit. And Fez seems to really be back on his game since the drinking show and the anniversary has passed.Having said all that, Ron is a master of actually sounding angry even when he might be acting. I really worried for Dave's safety the Monday he said he was rooting for Earl's streak to end (it must have about three weeks ago). Ron really sounded like he was going to kill him. I'm sure it was all part of the bit, but he was very convincing.

Anyone who thinks Ron is a mean prick should be sentenced to sit next to Opie for an entire O&A show.

I don't know.  If opie is mad at you, worst case scenario, he throws coffee at you.  If ron is mad at you, best case scenario, he throws a cowbell at you.  cutting achilles tendons and shallow graves aren't out of the question.

Is there any truth to the rumor that the cowbell bit actually started back in his stand-up days? From what I heard he used to travel with a case full of them and he would throw them at audience members if they dared to heckle him or even try to get up and go to the restroom. Now that's mean!

These kinds of threads make me laugh.  It seems like a lot of listeners are actually sitting home, listening to the show and get scared when Ron's in a bad mood.Sitting in the corner like Mommy and Daddy are yelling again. Both Happy Ron and Pissed Ron are great radio.  I honestly prefer Happy Ron because there's less dead air but pissed off Ron lands some of the BEST mean spirited lines that money can buy.Ron is just like all of us.  He WANTS to come in and have fun but sometimes he's just in a bad mood for whatever reason.  At that point he can be as mean as a Muslim reading a Danish political cartoon, but it's still the best radio show, anywhere.
