xm or free-fm?

[sailor]

<font size="2">i know a lot of people were excited to have ron and fez on in the evenings, but for me it's much more difficult to listen then, unless i'm out driving. so, which show do YOU listen to? and for those who listen to them predominately on free-fm, do you have xm? </font> <span class="post_edited"></span> <span class="post_edited"></span>

I live in California.&nbsp; I try and listen to the FM show when I'm not working but usually its XM all day every day.

[furie]

i only listen to xm.
I commute via LIRR and can't listen during the 92.3.
it can't live up to the XM show anyway.

[TheVHD]

I listen on XM from 12-3 just about every day.&nbsp; When I can I listen to them at 6:00.&nbsp; The only&nbsp;reason that prevents me from listening everyday at 6:00 is because my girlfriend says I need to be an adult.

[Team_Ramrod]

<p>I listen to XM everyday and try to catch as much of the fm show as possible. I only miss the fm show on Mondays (kids swimming lessons) and Wednesdays (Daughters Ballet). Even those days I catch as much as I can.</p><p>The fm show kind of signals that it's time to get making supper.</p><p>I hook my laptop into my home theatre and listen while I'm prepping the meals.</p><p>The beauty is that they are so different. You can catch both shows and there is usually very little overlap.</p><p>You couldn't pry either out of my cold dead hands!</p>

i like that you have coined an acronym, PiMB, but i will never forgive the disparaging remarks you made about the shins

[lleeder]

<font size="3">I listen to the whole XM show live and record it to make sure I dont miss any parts. I have a radio next to the computer that I listen to the freefm show on. When I take a shower I turn on the freefm show in the bathroom. If I walk into the kitchen I put on the freefm show on the clock radio. If I go into the bedroom I put on the freefm show in the bedroom. If I have to go to the store during the freefm show I wait til a commercial break run in the store and run back to the car.</font>

[Drunky McBetidont]

<p>i listen to ron and fez whenever they broadcast.&nbsp; my wife is glad i am not out at strip bars chasing whores.&nbsp; at least that is what i kep telling her she should be happy about.</p><p>i stay at my brothers monday through friday afternnon for work and spend everyweekend and day off with the wife and kids.&nbsp; If it wasn't for rnf weekdays and nights i probably would stray out into the bar scene again.</p><p>ronnie keeps me faithfully married!&nbsp; </p>

[mendyweiss]

<p>I haven't listened to a live Ron and Fez show since July 29, 2005. There I said it.</p><p>By the way, have I missed anything ?</p>

[torker]

Free-FM.&nbsp; Because I'm cheap.

[Don Stugots]

i listen to as much as I can.&nbsp; sometimes its all 6 hours sometimes its an hour here or there.&nbsp; i have been busy lately.

[fillourenco]

<p>always listen to R+F xm only tho, between 4 hours of o&amp;a and 2 and a half of ron and fez&nbsp; thats 6.5 hours. i go to school for 6 hours soooo i have no __________-(fill in the blanks)</p>

[Hottub]

<p>XM from 12 to 3 (with work related interruptions)</p><p>FM from 6 to 9 (with family related interruptions)</p><p>XM&nbsp; weekend replays as much as possible.</p>

[TheGameHHH]

i listen to both as much as i can......i like free-fm better

[shittyhambrgers]

i work free lance so i listen to either/or depending on my schedule.

[STC-Dub]

I listen as much as I can.&nbsp; I am at work during the XM show so I have to turn it down when customers come in, so it is on for all 3 hours but probably only get to listen for 2 hours.&nbsp; I get to catch an hour to the XM show off the Internet.&nbsp; I wish XM would get the FM show, though I fear that is a lost cause asking them to.

I record them both, so if I don't listen live, they'll be listened that same day or the following.

All of XM shows and just FM on Mondays and when I don't have work (like now, called in sick!).

[yarpwizard]

<strong><font size="3">I listen live to the 92.3 show and record the 12AM show.....all 6 hours and record both.</font></strong>

[AirJordanJoe]

The XM show is the best but I have to admit I'm happy with the free show too. I'm even happier that it hasn't changed the XM show any at all. They still have the energy for both shows (unlike <I>some</I> shows that will go unnamed).

I've ordered a Crane FM transmitter because it's not really convenient to sit near the computer all evening. Supposedly it has about a 70-foot range, unlike those little shitty ones from Circuit City they make for MP3 players. It cost $70 but hopefully it'll work well; I'm using cordless headphones now but they're bulky and the range is limited. With a little technology hayseeds like me can waste six hours a day just like you big city folk.

[rckiller]

I listen everyday on XM (if I actually have to interact with someone at work of course I simply record it).

I record the free fm show every night off the internet and load it onto my ipod and listen to it the next day or on the weekend. I walk an hour most days and listen while doing that or chores around the homestead with my ipod.

[ruggedo]

<p>I listen to the XM live most of the time,but if I miss it I love sitting down in my quiet living room with a book and taking in the midnight replay. The FM show I record and listen to when I have time. If I have caught the XM show live then its my midnight companion, if not then sometimes I listen to all six hours in a row.</p><p>Not only do I not miss a minute ever, I sometimes enjoy a replay or two over the weekend too. It's just impossible to get tired of the buddies.&nbsp;</p>

[hotshot70]

why can't they put the fm show on XM like they do O&amp;A? I hear that O&amp;A show over and over and only get one replay of the R&amp;F XM show? How about playing the fm show on XM radio, then replaying it immediately after the replay of the XM show.

i listen to all 6 hours but i like xm because i have it and other people don't. i makes me feel better than them or a second, then i look in a mirror

[TerrancePryor]

I don't have XM so FreeFM it is.I love comiin home from work,school,or from doing my show&nbsp;knowing that Ron &amp; Fez are on.

I too listen to as much as i can, and kind of like the free fm better.

It feels like the old NEW days.
The timeslot, the comedy perimods,earl seems the be funnier, just better topics and transitions between topics.

Both shows are great radio, but if i had to choose just one i'd go for the free fm.

[weekapaugjz]

between the noon show and the replay, i listen to just about the whole show everyday, but miss a few days every once in a while.&nbsp; i missed the entire show today, plan on listening to replay.&nbsp; i catch the fm show streamed about once or twice a week for a few hours.&nbsp; both shows are fucking great but i slightly prefer the xm show.

[bceagle]

<p>I think Ron's much more enjoyable when he's uncensored.&nbsp; He doesn't go overboard on the XM show, but the conversations are just more natural, and he can get out some better lines.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Fezzy on the other hand...nobody likes it when he goes blue. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

[DonInNC]

Record the XM show and listen when I'm traveling and on weekends if I have any left over. I try to catch the FM show internet feed, but I only get a chance to listen once a week or so.

[Gvac]

<p>I'm one of the mental cases who listens to all 6 hours, too. </p><p>I love the XM show, and the FM show is a lot more similar to the old WNEW days, but with the XM influence clearly evident. &nbsp;</p>

[riverofpiss]

I listen to Ron and Fez just about every day on XM.&nbsp; The show starts at 9am out here for us that&nbsp;are on the west coast so I manage to catch just about every show because that is the time of day I have free.&nbsp; I have listened to about half of the FM shows on the FreeFM feed and I love the show.&nbsp; It is a little different than the XM show and obviously is geared to more of a NY/NJ crowd, but I definitely like to listen to Ron and Fez any time I can.&nbsp; I also listen to the FM show because that is the only place I can still hear the great East Side Dave.

[Deadshot87]

I listen to ron and fez on there midnight replay before i hit the sack and try to hear the show during the day&nbsp;, im glad they have another time when they are on

[BLZBUBBA]

100% XM.&nbsp; Can't get the free show unless I get on the computer.&nbsp; Listen live on days off and record on days I work.&nbsp; Pretty consistent on days off.&nbsp; Roll out of bed,&nbsp; listen to second half of O&amp;A.&nbsp; Shower and eat breakfast while O&amp;A replay is on (the hour prior to R&amp;F).&nbsp; Then listen to entire Ron and Fez XM show before taking care of whatever it is I have to take care of that day.&nbsp;

[DJEvelEd]

<p>FreeFM is good because I'm slowly turning my chick on to them. It was really tough with XM because Ron says &quot;fuck&quot; and other naughty words that offend her. On FreeFM they are just plain funny and my chick has laughed on more than a few occasions. It's funny having someone making fun of Fez's voice because I got past that years ago and she just started.</p><p>I record 11 hours of radio a day on my Minidisc. I have a years worth of 1 gig tapes that I still need to catch up on.</p>

<p>I try to listen to the FreeFM show live... but I usually have family related crap to do.&nbsp;Considering I'm nowhere near New York, I'm tethered to the internet to listen. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Dougie Brootal]

mostly xm. i listen at work. i only have a work computer, im too lazy to hook up the one at home. although i do occasionally stay for freefm. rarely though.

[angelinad128]

I can usually hear all 6. XM at work&nbsp; FM at home.

[wkj]

XM everyday; Free FM Wednesday on the internet.

[CJJames]

<p>XM Live everyday from 9am-12pm PST, then Free&nbsp;FM off the internet from 3pm-5pm. Then I either go home or stay after work for part or all of the last hour watching the horrible rush hour Vegas traffic fly by.</p>

[Aqualad]

I record the XM show every day and listen at night.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don't normally get a chance to listen to Free FM- bad reception in this area.
