Good Bye and Good Luck Earl Douglas

[Crispy123]

Earl said today he was stepping down as Executive Producer of the Ron and Fez Show to pursue a life long dream of becoming a film maker. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your service. This is a brave decision and good luck with your application to NYU. Best wishes and godspeed to you sir.

[Bulldogcakes]

In order to quit a job, it means you're not going to do the work you used to be doing.

Will anyone even notice?

[midwestjeff]

Bia Con Dios, Senor Douglas.

Maybe it means that he won't be making excuses anymore.

[S0S]

Good luck Black Earl in all your future endeavors.
:sad:

[Fezticle98]

Another Earl lie.

[Judge Smails]

No, but I just want to wish Earl good luck in all of his future endeavors. I'm like, I hope he finds happiness and achieves what he rea

.damn my mouse and key-board just froze up on me. I really had a great, heartfelt ode to Earl planned out too.

Anyway, good luck Febreeze.

[IamPixie]

I'll miss the representation on 202. But you gotta do what you gotta do. good luck, sir.

[MadMatt]

Good Luck.

C-ya.

it's via, via con dios. i made two stupid posts.

Sorry, buddy, but you made four. It's "Vaya con Dios."

And dat's the end of Earl DONK!!

You are a regular fezpaul

Sorry, buddy, but you made four. It's "Vaya con Dios."

SON OF A BITCH! Fuck the entire spanish language. I'm going to look at the cat pics thread to make me feel better.

[PapaBear]

I like how he thought he could stay at the show, do less work, and keep the same pay. Funny guy, that Earl!

[Midkiff]

[pittphantoms]

I just want to thank Earl for making me a Ron and Fez fan. Yes, I said it. Earl was the turning point... or should I say Mr. Perfect made me the R&F fan I am today.

I was listening to O&A and would catch a couple minutes of R&F here and there. Then I started hearing all the Mr. Perfect stuff and listened more and more. Then, during the streak one of the replays (or maybe even the real thing) the how many 9 year-olds can you beat up came on - and from that day forward I dont think I have listened to less than 12 hours a week at least of R&F...

So Earl thank you for making me the fan I am today...

P.S. I never made a bet until the Boise State San Jose State game - where I lost $250... that sucked.

Earl it has truly been a pleasure.

Who will be on the cover of LIES Magazine now???? *sigh*

Best of Luck, budday!

That pretty much exactly mirrors my experience. I only stumbled on Ron and Fez after O&A one day... I had never even heard of them. That was during the Mr. Perfect run. Now, I listen to O&A too, but I'm all about the R&F. I am hooked, and I could give two shits about any other show.

[JPMNICK]

good luck Earl. hopefully you can still come by the studio and update us all with your progress.

[BoondockSaint]

I would like to wish Earl the best of luck. I kind of feel bad. I think that at his core Earl tried to do his best and I think this was his favorite job. It just didn't work out for him. So, sometimes you have to move on. I hope whatever he does next is a huge success for him.

[C_T]

Earl is a great guy and personal friend of mine, so I obviously wish him all the best.

This really caught me by surprise.

[PapaBear]

I think he caught a lot of us by surprise. It's only been about 24 hours since I voted in that poll, that he and Dave would both be with the show for a lot longer.

[JPMNICK]

I am sure this was a decision by earl in conjuction with XM management. I have a feeling it was told to him either resign or be fired. it was nice of whoever to let him take the high road. but i highly doubt earl would just up and quit like he did without a little pressure.

[NoCourtesyFlush]

Honestly one part of me is sad to see Earl go the other is like good riddance....I don't know Earl personally but it seems like he's a good guy with a good heart...the only thing is that he's dropped the ball so many times that it's finally caught up with him...I mean c'mon, you're the executive producer for the R&F show and on top of that you had Opie vouching for you.....OPIE VOUCHING FOR YOU! How can you F that up? I don't know if some of it was a gimmick for radio or what but it always seemed that Earl would F something up or just drop the ball...on something as simple as just following up..it was just excuse after excuse day after day, week after week......good luck earl, I really hope you turn sh*t around for yourself, I know you're capable of doing it, just stop "F"ing up......

[conman823]

Loved Earl, great part of the show.

Good Luck Earl.

[led37zep]

I wanted to call in and offer Earl a job as a PA on my next job...I feel bad for the guy. Almost 20 years in radio then you just pack up and walk away.

Best of luck earl!!!!!!!

[CofyCrakCocaine]

I'll miss the representation on 202. But you gotta do what you gotta do. good luck, sir.

I wouldn't mind having Pixie as executive producer. Who's with me?

[Flounder61]

Was Dave filling up?

[furie]

to pursue a life long dream of becoming a film maker.

since when? Has he ever mentioned that on the air? I thought BRC was his life long dream...

[thepaulo]

earl shouldn't leave.....it seems to me al dukes wants back in.......the two of them should have conflicting responsibilities and always be at each others throats in trying to do more for the show........

[cupcakelove]

Good bye Earl, if you're looking for odd jobs, I'm going to need some helping carrying furniture into my apartment in two weeks.

[Crispy123]

Hey look everybody, its "doesn't get the bit" guy :wink:

You knew midkiff would like that

I thought the kitties were where you were getting your spelling advice from :wink:




It will be interesting to see who steps up and takes the reins now that black Earl is going. It should be very telling. Plus all the earl haters got their wish so lets see how much he is or isn't missed.
Stay tuned
Ron always said that out side the show he had the most in common with Earl so Im sure its kind of tough on him.
Oh well Good Luck Earl

[buzzard]

[ralphbxny]

Take care Earl. You were always a gentleman at show events to me. I wish you the best !!!

[Death Metal Moe]

Wow, I missed to much by not catching yesterday's show it's a fucking crime.

Good luck Earl. The real fans of the show never really hated you, but I won't lie and say we didn't get a kick out of you getting "The Business" from time to time.

I wish you good luck and I thank you for playing my band on the show.

[AnnoyedGrunt]

I hope Earl will still check in from time to time and not just vanish like Harry or Wonderboy. All the best, Mr Douglas.

[STC-Dub]

I must be suffer from withdraw because I keep hearing Earl on the show.

[Midkiff]

I wouldn't mind having Pixie.

Me either, buddy. Me either.

[furie]

i had really hoped to see earl retained by XM in some other capacity. moved to a music channel or something

[Aqualad]

Godspeed, my man. Godspeed.

[Chimee]

i had really hoped to see earl retained by XM in some other capacity. moved to a music channel or something

I really have to get fired, I'm missing far too much of the show.

[aflover]

it's via, via con dios. i made two stupid posts.

NOT, it is NOT. "vaya con dios" is the real frase. don't argue with me, yo hablo espanol.

We can all hope Matt... we can all hope

[PMB917]

Good luck bro....I'm a Black Earl Fan since day one....I'll miss ya...goodspeed sir

[deliciousbabies]

no one is very sad that earl said he would leave... I am among those... He isn't made for this show. Ron needs someone with humility, earl has absolutely none... When that caller asked if primitive cultures meant dating black women i blew snot out of my nose...

[Billy Staples]

I don't believe my eyes....go back and look for yourself. when Earl said he was leaving, with all of the anti-Earl post and threads that I have seen on here, not one bad thing was said theatI reckon I recall. all wishing him good luck and you were good etc....soon as the cats out of the bag, its back to the hate again.....this board is too friggin funny


You say goodbye, and I say hello hello hello



I admit, I was caught too...hok line and sinker.



I was even ready to label him the next great black film maker...

Miss you on the show budday - lobster claws was the single greatest show I have ever heard. If Earl really left would you throw your hat in the ring?

I don't understand why common courtesy would be so confusing to you.

Personnally, i just find him boring and would prefer alot less "earl" airtime; that's doesn't mean i can't sincerely wish him "all the best" if he moves on.

Tho i didn't get to hear much of the show last week, at least there does seem (?) to be a alot less earl of late.

[DolaMight]

I miss earl, what's he up to nowadays?

[blacknoi]

I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello.

[sithlord]

I was So Happy last week when I heard he was stepping down. Than Friday came and it turns out he wants to stay. You can' t take back a resignation.

[Vidaroke Hayashida]

im pretty sure earl has proven you wrong there budday

[citymedic27]

I was sooo thrilled that Earl had left, then while out this wkdn I heard the best of's and then he wanted to stay. I knew it was too good to be true. I cant stand him or his personality on the show. I really hope earl comes to his senses and realizes that he is bringing the show down, and needs to move on. A decent employer will allow a person to take back a resignation if it is put in purely on emotion, which Im sure that he did.
EARL STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MadMatt]

I don't know guys - Ron was pretty pissed yesterday. I think he is trying to make his point on-air that it is time for Earl to step down.

I don't think Wiki or E-Lo will put up with it any longer. I think Earl is going to be at least demoted, with other options being to move him to another XM channel or fire him outright.

However, I don't see them firing Earl - it's much more likely he would be demoted or moved.

could earl be demoted to phone answerer? or coffe bitch. But I bet he'd find a way to fuck it up some how. somehow like this:

Ron: Earl where is my coffee

earl "ahhhhhh i dunno, i sent an email to DC and wiki through my blackberry so im waiting to hear back"

Ron: it coffee you idiot

Earl: "ahhhhhhh no is a caffinated beverage that comes with warning"

Ron: Answer the phones

earl "ahhhhhhh.......ahhhhhhhhhhh..............i think im gonna faint"

or something like that.

[Billy Staples]

you got a hat?

Is it safe to say Billy is off the wagon?

good luck earl.........after all this time you finely put the show 1st.......thank you sir....:clap:

[ralphbxny]

Good Bye Earl!!

[Brad_Rush]

I'll miss hearing you Earl. Best of luck in your future endeavors!

[Human Resources]

We certainly wish Mr. Douglas the best of luck collecting severance pay and relocating his Spaghetti-O's and ginger ale.

[Serpico1103]

Just Good Bye.

[Leticia]

I'll miss you Earl.

[ChrisBrown]

I like Earl a lot and sincerely wish him the best. I am sure he will be fine. The guy knows his music and will hopefully find something that he can really shine in.

[patrick187]

I bet Earl renegs on his promise. He's such a damn reneger.

[otrdave]

I hope they still play the "Black Earl" song. I would miss that.

[jclassic]

That pretty much exactly mirrors my experience. I only stumbled on Ron and Fez after O&A one day... I had never even heard of them. That was during the Mr. Perfect run. Now, I listen to O&A too, but I'm all about the R&F. I am hooked, and I could give two shits about any other show.

Same here. O&A was really unlistenable (well, the 'A' part) during the height of election season while R&F was unlistenable for a two day period with Fez and proposition 8. O&A has been great since Patrice Talks Racism hasn't been a segment in a long time.

[STC-Dub]

Good luck and all the best Earl. The show will not be the same without you.

[apexgunner]

Will Ron & Fez continue to broadcast from Earl's studio apartment?

[beachbum]

I listened to Fridays show and I don't remember Earl saying he wanted to stay.I remember him "reading" his statement and Ron pretty much giving him no option other than to stand by it.

That being said,it's a bit.I'll believe it when he doesn't show up for a month.

[Gvac]

I saw Earl last night. I shook his hand and wished him well.

[KojiClutch]

If Earl was able to answer a question straight up then maybe I would miss him more. But he can't, so goodbye.

[RaysFever]

Good luck Earl! Every time I hear the black Earl song, I'll think of you - but I think that's the point of the song...

[DrexlSpivey]

I bet Earl renegs on his promise. He's such a damn reneger.

"white people are so scarred of black people"

[Chimee]

I saw Earl last night. I shook his hand and wished him well.

Are you sure you weren't just at the inauguration?

[BlackScholar]

Good luck Earl your musical knowledge will surely be missed.

On another topic, it was pretty low class how Ron and especially that bitch Fez treated Earl after his announcement. Dave, your jokes were noted but I could hear it in your voice that you were somewhat sadden by Earl's announcement.

The R&F show is in its last days. Just listening to Fez's problems has turned so many listeners away from the show. He never has anything to add and his comments are always to late or rude - not funny.

Ron, you know if your heart that Earl isn't the problem. Cut Fez loose, and hire El Hefe and that would be a great team.

/Peace.

nah nah nah nah hey hey hey goodbye Earl

[truckrken]

Is today the day that Earl comes back from DC and finally puts an end to the, Earl can't watch the Obama inauguration so he quit bit?

[Kurto2021]

I am so confused on this shit. I swore the Pitzy thing was a joke but he hasn't come back and they have never mentioned it since.

I know that the other guy is a douche for saying Fez needs to go but I can kind of see his point. It really is the Ron, Dave, and Fez show at this point and to be honest I do love how the 3 of them work together.

[GreatAmericanZero]

i dont think the Earl thing is a bit, like a genuinely think hes crazy..but im starting to get the feeling that hes going to come back.

[Dell]

i dont think the Earl thing is a bit, like a genuinely think hes crazy..but im starting to get the feeling that hes going to come back.

If not a bit at first, I too think it has at least become a bit. Why would Franklyn go to their studio to have a meeting with Earl if he is gone? (I also hope Vince McMahon's injuries are not life threatening.)

[bentcorner]

I think it's a bit based on a lot of reality. I think Ron was truly caught off guard when Earl announced his decision. I do think Earl will be back. I for one hope he returns if for no other reason some of my favorite bits included Earl and his uncomfortableness with the show.

[GreatAmericanZero]

i think the first time Earl quit to go back to school wasn't a bit either, he just changed his mind


the thing you gotta remember is that Earl is a very very strange man

[lineman6924541]

If he's gone leave him gone the show will make it. Even though Fez has a lot in his life to figure out. It's just a lot of stuff going on at one time with Dave and Fez that I think the Earl stuff has just drove Ron over the edge and he is doing all he can to keep the show entertaining. I say good luck to them all and hope the show doesn't fall apart because of too many personal problems.

[Dell]

Wouldn't it be funny if they let him come back in disguise... oh... like a black spandex suit and mask and call him the Black Rider. Then Earl could call and they would argue with each other and ultimately challenge one another to a wrestling match for the job. That would be a hoot! :wink:

[MobCounty]

Lets make this fun and start putting some money on it.

[JAH1013]

$20 says he never makes any kind of film for the rest of his life.

[jclassic]

I've been under the impression it's been a bit and he's working booking guests, which explains Franklyn meeting with him for Ron Bennington Interviews I suppose, and just off-air. The Ron and Fez wikipedia page says the same and you know not just anybody can go and say whatever they like up there.

I also hear somebody's having trouble adjusting to their new glasses. Who can it be now?

[Cigar Sid]

Cut Fez loose, and hire El Hefe and that would be a great team.



Brilliant. Hire the one man in radio worse that Earl.

And how dare you call Fez a little bitch. Fez is more entertaining at Four Winds that Jefe is in any one of his 18 crappy shows.
