Comedy, or Tragedy?

[zentraed]

I didn't catch all of the show today, but wasn't there talk about a murder mystery tomorrow? Fez is out of the studio, Ron gets an unexpected phone call, the show stops with no explanation...

Spectacular setup, or real-life tragedy?

[IamFogHat]

I'm too scared to respond to this in case it is a real life tragedy :sad:

[twistedmark]

I hope for the best and it's nothing bad

[Fezticle98]

Possibly a Dramady or Tragiocomedy?

[thebarge]

I've enhanced the sound some and I can definitely tell there's a female voice who calls Ron. It doesn't sound like a bit to me - but I'm sometimes the "doesnt get the bit guy" so who knows.

[helterskeletor]

When were they supposed to go on vacation?

R&F constantly throw me for loops, so I'm not bothering to guess. Today was weird and I'm not going to assume anything until I know for sure what's up.

It coulda been Fez. And careful, he doesn't like his voice being enhanced. :smile:

At least I didn't take any video of him :tongue:

Unless Tom Rhodes was in on it, I can't see Ron pulling a bit on a guest.

Step right up....hey there kid take a try at the wheel ....one spin one win!!! A buck a try!!

[ralphbxny]

A guest who is an old friend of the program!

[POT_BELLY]

The show stopped and went to the best of....Fez was out....I'm very worried....

[MikeB]

A guest who is an old friend of the program!

But the guy is in to promote his show. Before the call it had been about 20 minutes since his gig was mentioned. Ron wouldnt do that to someone that needs the plug.

This is not good.

[realmenhatelife]

The dead air after Ron took the call also kindof makes me think that its not a work. Dave definitely didn't sound prepared to take over when Ron left. With Fez apparently in a bad way thats what I immediately thought of, so hopefully stuff will be ok.

Two people make their first posts in this thread. One says everything is fine (even though he picks this to be his first post) and I think the other one thinks I am mikeyboy.

WWWAHHHWWOOOOOOOO..Sweet Melinda my wife

bobsnin...are you a fellow Bengals fan? Just noticed your Palmer avatar- sorry

No spoilers please...I have to hear the show tonight.
I will stop reading now that I know Fez is OK

[MikeB]

Fez is fine. But...........



O&A ARE FIRED!!!!!!!!
odd.

I haven't got the slightest idea what's going on!

[thejives]

Fez is okay! YEsssss!

What's all this about a Springsteen song being leaked?

[tcc_dc]

Fez is okay! YEsssss!

What's all this about a Springsteen song being leaked?

It was either the intro song or some other break that they were playing Bruce's new song....I thought earl summed it up best when he said it reminded him 867-5309....

Earl opened with it. It wasn't supposed to be played..in fact it could be the reason for the phone call, et al

[thejives]

So, the boss gets compared to Tommy Two-Tone and axes R+F?
What would the big man say?

[watson]

i blame the whites

[STC-Dub]

Why would anyone from XM call Ron on his cel phone during the show? Plus, if XM wanted to take Ron and Fez off the air, they could have done so without calling Ron or Dave going to a break.

[MikeB]

i blame the whites

If this is about the Bruce song, then I think you may be wrong.

[Fezticle98]

But is Flea still a douche?

We may have to wait 24 hours for that update.

But Ron said that we had heard the last of board gossip on Friday in DC. I hope he wasn't joking.

Just assume that flea is still a douche until informed otherwise.

[MikeB]

I now believe the person calling was the woman friend of Ron and then Earl the song.




I think it is now time to create a flashing sticky that says

"BLACK EARL FIRED!!!!!!!!!"

[CJJames]

I agree with Earl, and I still think the damn thing rocked.

I'm glad I recorded it. Already heard it ten times, banging my head in Best Buy.

I hate to write it, but I have to be honest: thank you for the leak, Earl. I'll see if the song replays on 202 in 1.75 hours.....

[vegeta]

Wow, neither R&F or O&A can have a cliffhanger without some of us (definitely including me) worrying.

I'm glad to hear that nothing bad went down, and I'm also glad to hear of the end of board gossip. If Dave realizes that the bit isn't working, maybe that means he's working on something better. Or maybe he's got nothing else. Hmm.

Board gossip was turning into "let's find really obscure dumb songs and play them for every sentence I say" instead of something, you know, funny or interesting.

[PapaBear]

Is crazy jen trying to rip off her sig?
No. I made that for Jen over a year ago. Wasn't intended to be a sig, though.

[helterskeletor]

me too budday- I havent even heard the show today- listening now- but my friend threw me a spoiler and I had to know.
Finally signed on to wackbag- by I am somewhat at ease that "Fez is OK" but still a bit concerned.
I want to hear to get my own impression.

I heard the entire show EXCEPT for the part that everyone's talking about. So now I'm in it for the long haul. Here's hoping the sleeping pills don't take me down first.

You don't have long to wait.

I'm very happy to hear Fez is ok, but I'm still worried about Ron's family and friends.

[ppanda]

Needless to say- Im taking a 12:00 to 3:00 break tomorrow from work - which reminds me I need to block off my calendar

[helterskeletor]

Yeah at this point who knows what the fuck is going on. Tragedy seems to stick to this show.

Hi everyone!
Virgin poster to this board so please be gentle...:innocent: I, too, am worried but at this point I am afraid to speculate. I am just whispering a few prayers and hoping for the best. I love that Dynamic Duo and the nuts that hang with them. Just when Ron took that phone call and there was that brief pause of silence I hit a no signal area in my car and when I did get a signal it was playing "The Best of"....So I will feel a wee bit anxious until I hear the two of them yet once again taking calls.

Welcome!

Also, know this:

1. We all feel the same way.

2. Most, if not all of us, know nothing about what has, is, or will happen.

3. Since we are, and may always be, in the dark on this matter, we shouldn't stress over crap we have no control over.

[modiner]

Hey there. Long time Lurker first time poster...

I think we can agree that we all just love the guys, and we hope Ron is doing ok. What ever it is, it sounded serious. And anything that stops Ronnie B in his tracks can not be good. Even if we never know what happened...here's to Ron...wishing him the best and much love from his fans. He's the best!!

Good first post budday

[thejives]

Totally cool to see the new posters flocking to ronfez.net!

I'm pretty much new too (well, compared to most people) so I know how you feel.
But everyone here is incredibly cool. Especially the mods.

Anyway ... I think it's a good time to band together as fans.

[ESD's twin brother]

I don't think XM would have called Ron on his cell during the show, and if it was a big deal, why would XM wait 1 hour and 15 minutes?

Exactly. Also, if it had anything to do with Fez, O&A would have DEFINATELY said something on Friday's show. Not wanting to sepculate, but I will, I think it has something to do with Ron's personal life and we should leave it alone until they come back. If/when Ron wants to address it, we should respect his choice.

[ATMfromChico]

Hey, first time post here, so have some mercy. I've been listening to Ron & Fez since they came onto XM. Can't say I loved them right off the bat. But as time wore on I really have grown to love the show and listen to most hours on most days. So here are a few nuances I have thought of since the vanishing off the air. On Tuesday Mr. Bennington had made mention to Fez that his partner never asked him if there was anything he could do when he was teetering on darkness. And we know the type of darkness he was talking about. On Wednesday Mr. Bennington was having a dark day, even though the manner of his speaking of it was somewhat joking. I think he was completely honest when he spoke of the darkness as a palpable object. Something was triggering this. And then on Thursday a call comes through and everything shuts down. If you want my opinion, and this is subjective only, Mr. Bennington had someone in his family or close circle that was either very ill, or had been in an accident earlier, that passed away. I know how that feeling of watching someone fall out of your grasp can drive you to that darkness. I don't think this was a complete surprise, but also not completely expected. Like there had been hope, but it was taken from him in a moment. I've been there. It sucks. And I hope I'm wrong.

[AnnoyedGrunt]

I do remember Wiki's scretary calling in the middle of the show once. Ron said something to her like 'I'm a little busy right now. You'll have to call back" and commented that "It's a great vote of confidence when XM people don't know when we're on the air" after hanging up.

[Giggle]

Another long time R&F.net voyeur climbing out of the woodwork. I've been a fan of R&F since the days of the WNEW. After hearing all the nonsence from last weekend in Wash- I think R&F need some privacy. In all the years of listening, I've never heard them so frustrated about the behavior of a few audience members that they let into their circle. For the most part, everyone seems good natured and just wants to enjoy the R&F experience.

I hope everything is ok with both R&F. It seems like we will not know what happened for a while. If they want to let us in, they will. On the positive side, the current drama has brought some of the scardy cats out to join the message boards.

Please go easy on me- I'm a virgin!

Nice first Post
Welcome

[Hepcat22]

I'm sure going to miss Ron & Fez for the next 10 days. Strange how I got hooked on this excellent talk show but I am. That Elvis/Jerry Lee stuff had me laughing my ass off. Glad I recorded it.

Hope mikeyboy or someone can post an answer to the sudden departure but if it's just a bit then it's working for sure.

(Hard for me to say Oh & eyy.. with a Georgia accent.)

Budday, you are correct. I do remember that.

[J.Clints]

CNN..
Breaking news.......There will be Replays next week.

[zman]

I wonder if that POS Earl could actually use more than 3 shows 1 week old to hash next week's Best Ofs together

[Chigworthy]

Why would XM give O&A and R&F the same time off? Does that make any sense?

[MikeB]

Based on Mikeyboys replay schedule...Why the hell is Thursday being replayed? Clearly something has happened and Earl is going to replay Ron getting that call?

[Dandaman77]

Hey, first time post here, so have some mercy. I've been listening to Ron & Fez since they came onto XM. Can't say I loved them right off the bat. But as time wore on I really have grown to love the show...


ron would love to hear you say that

[ATMfromChico]

Why would XM give O&A and R&F the same time off? Does that make any sense?

I believe that the hope is that the new studio will be up and running for when both shows come back from vacation so they can make a smooth transition. Ha ha. Nothing better to ruin some hopefully relaxing time off than with an XM glitched brand spanking new studio. If memory serves it only took two plus years to get the phones working right the first time.

[Chigworthy]

How does that work if they are getting separate studios? Or are they not getting seperate ones now?

[BoondockSaint]

How does that work if they are getting separate studios? Or are they not getting seperate ones now?

I don't think they ever were getting seperate ones.

[Chigworthy]

Opie's gonna be pissed.

[DAVE FROM LA]

And that the get the rest they need to kick more ass when they get back. Miss Andre, after all he is 7'4" and from France. Also miss Iris. And Earl vs. Dave.

i'm from playa Vista...thats enough of Los Angeles for this board to handle. Step back...take a breath and enjoy the board.

[TheRealEddie]

Playa vista is sooooo marina del rey... HOOHAA!

[MikeB]

Mikey Boy, is there a chance the show will still be best of come Tuesday?

[led37zep]

Playa vista is sooooo marina del rey... HOOHAA!

Them are fighting words. You know fair well that playa vista is vastly different from Marina del rey. First of, we use the world Playa as opposed to Marina, secondly...um. Um. Ya!

[Patient zer0]

new here too.

all the posters and hardcore listeners are like family whether you know eachother or not. but i think alot of people demand or expect O and A and Ron and Fez to share their after show lives with people

its non of our business, they entertain us for a few hours a day and their job is done.
if ron wants to let us know what happened he will, other than that if it was a seriouse situation its his busisness and we have nothing to do with it,

im not flaming, or calling people out, but what happens after the show with their families or loved ones isnt our business..

i love the boys and i hope this is just a bit to keep our love for the show high while they take their vacation.
