<p>There is but one God, and Ron Bennington is His name. Fez Marie Whatley&nbsp;is His prophet. Black Earl, East Side Dave, Bronx Johhny,&nbsp;and the Midnight Rider are His apostles. The Ron &amp; Fez show is the Holy Scripture. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/thumbup.gif" border="0" width="38" height="20" /></p>

[Hithead]

They along with Opie and Anthony&nbsp;make my excruciatingly boreing job bareable for&nbsp;8 hours every day. Thank Christ for XM radio.

[PunkMojo]

<p>By far, Ron &amp; Fez are the best thing on radio period. I think their lack of a larger audience speaks volumes about the attention span of the average talk show listener.</p><p> Besides, R&amp;F put on a show to entertain. I believe whether R&amp;F where guitar players strumming for loose pocket change on street corner or in a sold out stadium...they would put on the same show with the same energy and dedication to their fans and themselves.</p><p>Howard once ruled (love him or hate him), but now his show is all about self promotion and the originality he once brought to radio is gone. Sadly, while I am still a big O&amp;A fan and Jimmy has to be one of the best comics out there, I find that the O&amp;A show seems to be drifting more and more into the self promotion category.&nbsp;</p><p>And on a different note...too bad Phil Hendrie has left the airwaves. Having him follow O&amp;A then R&amp;F would have been the XM channel of my dreams...and I would chuck my TV in the trash.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; </p>

[Deadshot87]

I love listening to the ROn and Fez show I just wish they had more than one replay on XM<br />there show to me is good because they dont have to say how great they are, they just are. There is a good group dynamic along with great characters, just wish it was longer

[epo]

<p>Sorry to be the downer, but this question is really odd.&nbsp; Ever?&nbsp; Radio has quite a history &amp; has been used in many forms.&nbsp; </p><p>If the question was &quot;Is Ron &amp; Fez the Best Radio Show of the Past 20 Years?&quot;, then I'll vote yes.&nbsp; But you have to look at the context that radio has been used in each era to answer that question properly.&nbsp; </p>

[IamFogHat]

Yes, they are the best, and there probably will never be anyone like them ever.

<p>Yeah, they are the best thing going. I have been a budding radiophile since I was 12 or 13, when I would get Dr. Laura on the AM radio overnights.&nbsp; I remember being crushed when &quot;Hangin' with Hollywood&quot; stopped playing in my area in the early '90s (I know that was top 40 and not talk) and I still catch Paul Harvey twice a day -- not because I care so much what he has to say but because it's like listenin to your grandpa on the radio.&nbsp; </p><p>With all of this radio listening, I have never been addicted to a show like I am to the buddays.&nbsp; I call it addiction because that's what it is.&nbsp; If I know they are on and I am not listening, it feels just&nbsp;like running out of cigarettes.&nbsp; If I miss a day and didn't record it, I have to come here and see what I missed in the listening thread.&nbsp; It's unhealthy really.</p>

[The Nature Boy]

Its hard for me to have perspective, as I grew up on Stern, so its hard to tell where he lie in your heart.&nbsp; However, I always say, Ron and Fez, say 2002-2003 WNEW and XM/Free FM(2005-2007) is right there with Stern(1986-1994) as the best radio show ever produced.&nbsp; Which is incredibly high enough praise in my book.&nbsp; But if it was vintage Stern today against Ron and Fez, I think being in my late 20's, I would actually favor Ron and Fez and I think they have a world more pure talent than Stern.&nbsp; Just gifted beyond belief and fun as hell, I think they might just be, because they don't rely on the shock jock crutch that Stern did.&nbsp; Now Stern at his best wasn't over the top shock jock, personally I always liked the news best or long form celeb interviews(Kinnison, Gottfried) while Ron and Fez are so much more versatile.

[STC-Dub]

Best radio show ever.&nbsp; I want them to be famous and more popular; I just worry that if that happened the show would lose some of its edge.

<p><font face="comic sans ms,sand" size="2">I was refering to Ron and Fez on XM are only second to the&nbsp;Opie and Anthony show of WNEW.&nbsp;Meaning the&nbsp;XM Ron&amp;Fez&nbsp;show&nbsp;to me is the best show on the radio right now, But&nbsp;I consider&nbsp;the WNEW Opie and Anthony show is still best of all time.</font></p><p><font face="comic sans ms,sand" size="2">I remember when the radio show was called Ron&amp;Fez.com.&nbsp; I caught a few shows but it didnt peak my interest like the new XM version of the&nbsp;show.</font></p>
