I say we complain!

[deliciousV]

<p>I say everybody who can't pick up free fm, and everybody who doesn't want to or can't spend the evening listening online should start writing to xm and e-lo and let them know we want Ron and Fez on simulcast, so we don't have to always feel like we're missing out on some inside joke or coming in on the end of a conversation. I am on the road for weeks at a time with only occasional internet access, my only hope will be downloading shows and podcasts. I can see a future filled with me listening to 2 week old free fm shows and saying &quot;ohhh, thats what they were talking about&quot;. this show owes a great deal of its success to the listeners feeling like they are in on everything, and getting all the subtle inside jokes. I suspect this attempt to live seperate lives will harm both shows.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>ps. if someone would pm me with a heads up on a torrent site that seems to get alot of the shows that would be great. I know its taboo but its also a fact of life that its out there, I just need to know where.</p><p><br />pss. mods, I know I posted this as a reply in the listening thread, but I thought it might be more effective here, if you want to remove the other that'd make sense.</p>

<p>I don't want my first post to be a complaint but it would be nice to be able to here the show.&nbsp;&nbsp; Will save the real complaining until after the New Year.</p>

[buckcorncobb]

I dont know if I would listen to a free fm version...the o&amp;a free fm version is not even close to as good as the XM one....and I dont think the Bald Howdie Doodie could tell any of his 'life stories' on sissy,i mean, free fm

I just hope that when it's time to complain...we can find SOMEONE on this board that knows how.

[burrben]

i just wanna bitch and moan about something. i'm such a ralph nader

[boeman]

<p>yeah, let's all complain that we will cancel service unless the Ron and Fez evening show is added to the XM lineup... <img src="/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/rolleyes.gif" border="0" width="20" height="20" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>it could be possible that these broadcasts are a FreeFM test for our Buddays that will eventually lead to them on a more desirable hour considering their current schedule. It could be that when this theoretical change happens, XM will pick up the second show as well. I really doubt XM would allow one of their large stars to have content that was exclusive to any company besides themselves.</p>

If you're posting here, I'm assuming you have a computer. Just record it online, if you can't listen live. The station has a stream, and you can set up a recording schedule with Audacity 1.3 Beta. It's free. You won't have to mess with illegal torrents, as recording streams for your own personal use is legal.

I love the fact that Reeshy, who lives in New York ,is so offended by those of us who don't wanting to hear what he'll get to hear. I wish nothing but good for the boys and if this is good for them I'm all for it. I can't believe for a minute that being on both wouldn't be better than on just one. I get called a snob, or bitched at by people who live in free fm range and want the show to themselves, ummmm who's that make a snob?

[PapaBear]

Stop worrying about who's a snob, and take the advice on the thread. You CAN listen to the show for now. It will probably get even easier, later. I'm not in NY, and I'm not complaining. There is nothing to complain about.

<p>All of this sounds very familar to a time about a year ago when our other buddies were going through the same thing. Everything worked out for O&amp;A despite all the whining. They added more show, the walkover which at times is hysterical and they have done more appearances and what not because of the larger audience.

<p>In most cases, you double click the speaker icon in your start up menu. You should be able to find recording settings under &quot;properties&quot;. If it's not called, &quot;what you hear&quot; it will probably be called &quot;wave&quot;.</p>

<p>What is this passive, &quot;be patient&quot; B.S.? We are PAYING customers of XM. Many of us PAY primarily to listen to Ron &amp; Fez. XM owes it to us to explain the situation, nto Ron &amp; Fez. They were on the air today. They didn't make a direct reference to the Free FM show. It it likely this was because XM told them not to. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It's plain and simple: R&amp;F have a show on Free FM that XM will not broadcast.

<p>I second the suggestion to use Audacity (or Replay Radio). I for one will be recording the night show for my own personal use like I do the XM show every day. Now I can listen to the night show at work just before the midday show and fast forward through the commercials.</p><p>All is well.</p>

[Quinn]

I'd be curious to see how everyone plans on setting up the recording when you have to &quot;signup&quot; (just an email addy) and get the pop-up from WFNY in order to listen. Recording online is fine when it's hands off but to record R&amp;F you need to be on a computer to at least first access the WFNY stream.

[deliciousV]

<p>hey reeshy, if you had read my post before going off half cocked you would have read that I too work for a living, I drive all over the country and am on the road for weeks at a time (I drive a cargo van over 100,00 miles a year), I can't get the feeds then. I, like everyone not in New York, am listening right now because I'm home for a few days. knowing that R&amp;F are doing 3 extra hours that could make the miles go by a little faster is frustrating. Maybe I bitched a little early, but its all about the buddays. I got the audacity and will record when I can, I need something that I can record with when I'm not home, record 5 days then skip 2 and so on, I don't think this will do it. Also I would have to leave the streaming on all the time which I doubt would work. </p><p>ps. you shut the fuck up</p>

[kellermcgee21]

<p>I'm a XM only listener....most nights I probably will miss a good portion of the Free-Fm show.&nbsp; But I trust Ron and Fez enough to give them more than one fuckin day to work something out.&nbsp; I can understand not wanting to miss any of the show but wait till you hear it from Ron and Fez that the Free-FM show isn't going to broadcast on XM.&nbsp; The buddays will look out for us....give it time.</p>

with all due respect to the boyzsss I'd like to remind you that between opie elo and R&amp;F we've not only not got any info, we've been teased and fucked with mercilessly! So some of us want to bitch a little and see whats up, if you don't, don't.

The recording worked great, I've already edited out the commercials, and it's now loaded on the mp3 portion of my XM Nexus 25. Now I have satellite AND terrestrial Ron &amp; Fez to listen to at my leisure!

[weekapaugjz]

papa bear, what bit rate did you save your file to? also, did you save as mp3 or wav?&nbsp; just wondering cause i want a small file but decent quality

[PapaBear]

The lame mp3 encoder is automatically set to 128. If I want to make it a lower bit rate, I have Acoustica wave to mp3 converter.

[ReverseFP]

<p>Reeshy,</p><p>To be totally honest, my XM subscription predated&nbsp;my knowledge of R&amp;F.&nbsp; It's how I was introduced to them.&nbsp; So I'm not going to pretend that I feel I'm owed something because of the money I'm paying.&nbsp; The entitlement feeling I referred to&nbsp;mostly has to do with feeling entitled to the same deal that the O&amp;A fans have.</p><p>The irritation comes from&nbsp;the type of show R&amp;F run... since running bits develop continuously, almost spontaneously, there's no &quot;safe&quot; time to miss unless there's a long interview in progress.&nbsp; Because of that it's important to me to have control over how comprehensively I listen.&nbsp; Sometimes I'm in the mood to make the investment to hear the whole 3 hours all week, sometimes I'm not, but I like having the decision either way.&nbsp; Now that there's FM-only material, I'll be in the position of tuning in one day at noon and finding out Fez has a new nickname.&nbsp; Not that I can't catch up, but maybe I want to &quot;be there&quot; when it happens.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[AKA]

<p>It was <strong>NIGHT ONE</strong> - who knows what's going to happen next? Obviously, by the back and forth and confusion this last week of who is going to be on when, this is all still developing. Let's wait and see how things shake out - support R&amp;F for their amazing good fortune and long overdue recognition - and if you really want to try and do something proactive, write and show your support for R&amp;F also being on XM (or syndicated, or whatever) instead of assuming you know what's going on and complain. </p><p><img src="http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/modlang/carasi/workshops/ramapo/images/t/tn_santa-pissing.jpg" border="0" width="99" height="83" align="left" /></p><p><strong><font size="5">DON'T PISS ON THIS <br />CHRISTMAS MIRACLE, <br />YOU MANIACS!!!!</font></strong></p>

I want to make it perfectly clear, I did not mean to complain to, or about R&amp;F, they have earned and deserve every blessing they are getting. I probably shouldn't have used the word &quot;complain&quot; but instead have said we should all implore XM to add this new show to their line-up.

<p>AKA,</p><p>As far as how real the plans for 203 ever were, Opie has said a few times that the original plan was for 202 to feature only O&amp;A and for four or five other shows to share the second channel.&nbsp; When 203 got axed the &quot;hot talk&quot; shows were forced to cram together.&nbsp; Hence the original five (?) golden tickets that turned into just the one for Ron and Fez.&nbsp; I remember Ron referencing in passing once that he and Fez were told that certain things would happen when they joined up that didn't happen, and I took that to mostly mean 203.&nbsp; Plus O&amp;A have both said recently that big things were in store for the duo.&nbsp; That's a lot of hinting for an internet rumor.</p><p>That's not really the point though.&nbsp; It's odd to me that you think &quot;complaining&quot; at this stage is unseemly or unwarranted, but on the other hand suggest that:</p><p>&quot;I think it ultimately helps a lot more to let outlets like XM or other FreeFM Markets know that you'd like to have this particular Ron and Fez show on live as well, instead of damning them with complaints over something no one knows shit about.&quot;</p><p>What do you think this is all about?&nbsp; I want to have this particular Ron and Fez show on live as well.&nbsp; That's PRECISELY what I've been saying.</p><p>1.

I actually got a response from E-lo (he must have NO life) and he said the CBS show is CBS's property, but they're working on it. Would ClearChannel allow one of their hosts to do a show on CBS or vice-versa? No way.

If XM is so hard-up for cash that they'll farm out their exclusive talent then maybe they should just give up. It's not totally their fault - trying to start a new business with new technology in today's market climate is demanding. Stockholders want results yesterday and don't have the patience to allow new markets and technologies to develop without immediate results.

I will give Hoo-Hoo one bit of credit though: as bad and tired as his show is he is sticking with the company. With Sirius in just as bad shape (or worse) than XM there has certainly been thoughts of pulling an FM deal for him but he hasn't budged.

Just keep sending e-mails to XM unless you're content to be a second-class listener.

I hope XM does pick up the freeFM show........I can just listen to the Free show since I work during the day,.....I have another &quot;method&quot; of listening to the XM shows as I drive to and from work.....good luck to you XM'ers!!!!!! Hope it works for you!!!!
