show awards for the year

[cartshlepper]

Tell us what you think about the awards given out today. East Side again was shut out, and once again I lost the Jew of the year award to Just Jon, HDG I understand, but Just Jon, come on. Opine about the awards!:blink:

[IamPixie]

We're all collectively awesome-

[Flea_Man]

it was really funny to see in person

[Marc with a c]

it was really funny to see in person

the best part is when hosp was nominated ran in to get on mic and they just kept on going.

[Hottub]

It was a big day for our board, and the staff.

Mosel tov!

[DiabloSammich]

I had my pants off for the whole show!

Great job RonFez.net!!!

[Gmann]

the best part is when hosp was nominated ran in to get on mic and they just kept on going.

He ran up all excited and then nothing.

[Hosp]

He ran up all excited and then nothing.

They waved me in, I even asked Lilly why they bothered calling me in.

But at least I was nominated for Best Villain and Best Listner. I was really expecting Best Feud, the others were just a shock.

[IamPixie]

congrats to babylove, winter carnival princess.

[Chigworthy]

Did I miss the giving of the RF.net gifts?

[Tenbatsuzen]

I was kind of annoyed that I wasn't even nominated for Best Villain.

[buzzard]

I envy all of you for being there :wink:

[Hosp]

Did I miss the giving of the RF.net gifts?

That was done after the show. Fez got a Batman picture, V for Vendetta mask, and some kind of candy. Ron got a book on Urban Astronomy and Astronomy grade binoculars. Dave got the Wii Blaster, Super Mario Galaxy, and it's Strategy guide. I didn't see if there was anything else for anything else.

[TheGameHHH]

Actually, we got Fez a signed Bob Kane Batman sketch. I don't know who gave him the mask.

Jon will be posting pictures of everything.

[Hottub]

I thought Mikey would have won Best Jew.:tongue:

[Don Stugots]

I thought Mikey would have won Best Jew.:tongue:

word.

[Marc with a c]

jon also won best jew with a festive christmas sweater.

[Gvac]

I hope they do away with the "awards" next year. The giving of the gifts is always the highlight of the Christmas show and it's a shame that all the people who post here and contributed money never got to hear what they got because the bit ran so long.

I hope they also rethink opening the doors to the public next year. I fully understand (and love) Ron and Fez's open door policy, but I think it's better when it's true hard-core fans there and not a free-for-all.

[DolaMight]

jon also won best jew with a festive christmas sweater.

Yeah, ironic and I don't know where he bought that Jewish cap with a christmas tree on it.

[sailor]

did they ever post them last year?

.


Maybe it was on purpose? (at least, left for a quick end segment).

Maybe something along the lines of a contribution to The heart&stroke foundation etc... in their names would be more appropriate? (count me in for any non-Costanza org)

I like the awards, they just should have done them the previous day. I thought I was just a hump for missing the presents, but I'm really disappointed to hear it never aired.

Then again, I didn't kick in any money, so really doesn't matter what I think.

[tommyzman]

Probably one of the funnest and funniest shows I've heard all year. I friggin tried calling in for 3 hours but the phones were busy. Nothing worse than when you are being made fun of by Ronnie and you can't call in to defend yourself.

[Bay Ridge Tim]

I don't see how Earl doesn't get nominated for best song...

Jets fan, Jets fan, why do you stay?

[Gmann]

Grinch!

[Gmann]

Oh yeah, I kinda thought it would have been funny to have Reilyluck accept the award on behalf of the Irish Alkey/Silera Best Wedding award.

[ichi_gami]

and by this do you mean "people who post a lot?"

[Gvac]

and by this do you mean "people who post a lot?"

No, just long time friends of the show who understand what it's all about and realize it's not the Opie and Anthony show.

[ichi_gami]

No, just long time friends of the show who understand what it's all about and realize it's not the Opie and Anthony show.

ok... who decides? and based on what? does someone who's listened since early 2000 but not registered on the forums count as "long time" but disqualified on "friends" according to your scoring?

please enlighten me, since i'm so easily confused.

all he is saying is that he wants to make sure dipshits like the one sitting next to you don't show up.

[ichi_gami]

anyone would want to make sure of that. :thumbup:

[ichi_gami]

btw: congrats baby love on your award...


did anyone else notice earl copied her award speech for the rest of the show, like it was his own thought?

[reillyluck]

Oh yeah, I kinda thought it would have been funny to have Reilyluck accept the award on behalf of the Irish Alkey/Silera Best Wedding award.

I would have graciously accepted. It would have given me a chance to visit casa de Alkey and maybe have an opportunity to have some of Silera's Pernil.

[ahhdurr]

I want to congratulate Earl on "Best Earl Rant". He really was a lock for it this year.

[Caseyelan]

Alkey and SILERA wedding of the year?

FUNK DAT!


:)


Dave loved his gifts. In fact.... He is shooting clay pots in zelda land as we speak. He also just threw the gun down yelling.... "face to targets"....... whatever.

HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY FOLKS!


one other thing... I have never really seen marc in the daylight... He cleans up... doesn't look so spy vs. spy.

[reillyluck]

what most surprised me is seeing people in the daylight and most importantly....sober.

weird.

[IamPixie]

It was weird but in a good way

I'm sorry if I was very socially ackward

[reillyluck]

hahahahah true dat!! you should have said whistling pixie. yeah i said it. :tongue:

[Heather 8]

I don't see how Earl doesn't get nominated for best song...

Jets fan, Jets fan, why do you stay?

I know! I thought that was a lock for sure.

[Hosp]

I know! I thought that was a lock for sure.

You, more then anyone else on this board, should know to always expect the swerve.

I do wish I would have won for my 2 categories, even though those who did win did deserve them, just so I could have been a 2 time winner like this man.

[ralphbxny]

It was all very exciting...but the best was Don Stugots Playin Don the Hypnotist on Earl!

[Heather 8]

Once a mark, always a mark.

Wackbag gave Fez the Vendetta mask prop replica along with a large talking Vendetta doll.

Did he wear the mask at all?

[mikeyboy]

Yeah, I think he wore it in one of the pics that Jon took.

[RMPGP]

Hahhaha awesome... if you guys have any pics of the wackbag gifts, I'd totally love to see them and post them on wackbag. If not - no big deal. Looks like you guys got them some amazing stuff. I'd say the best thing we got other than the lil babyfuck photo was the DVD player for BronxJohnny - he really needed that. Great job as usual mikeyboy.

[Gmann]

We shook hands and Im never washing that hand again. :wub:

[reillyluck]

We shook hands and Im never washing that hand again. :wub:

[DarkHippie]

So what did I win?

[Marc with a c]

Sweatiest

[DarkHippie]

Sweatiest

Woo Hoo!!! I am the WINNAR!!!!!!!!

In my defense, it was hot and i was drinking

[Hottub]

Not even in the running for Jew of the Year.
Sorry.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

So what did I win?

Best pair of Tits

[ahhdurr]

So what did I win?

Least likely to be mistaken for Dewayne Robertson.

[moochcassidy]

a big congrats goes out to kathleen for being the awesomest.

[AKA]

Actually, we got Fez a signed Bob Kane Batman sketch.

Great idea.

:unsure:

Credit where credit is due: AKA gave us this idea about 6 months ago.

How do you define "true hard-core fan"? I know people that have been listening to every minute of the Ron and Fez show for the past 9 years, but never called or went in studio. I like the open door policy. I think if you give a crap enough to show up, you're a big fan.

[RAAMONE]

I hope they also rethink opening the doors to the public next year. I fully understand (and love) Ron and Fez's open door policy, but I think it's better when it's true hard-core fans there and not a free-for-all.

So you "fully understand" and "love" the open door policy? Yet you want them to stop doing it and only allow certain people next year?

that makes sense...

i agree if you care enough to make it into the city and visit a show you are a "hardcore fan" especially people like me who live about 4 hours away...i would love to make it to next years show but i have only been listening since they got to XM and i just started posting here and i cant make it to any R&F events so i wouldnt be allowed in...oh well

[mikeyboy]

I was fine with the open door policy. It made for a festive and fun atmosphere. It was too bad that the senior superlatives ran long. Not necessarily because we didn't give gifts on the air (the majority of the listening audience probably has no interest in what gifts we give them), but because it made Ron & Fez's end of the year comments and wishes (always a highlight) seem rushed.

I agree that it's always a blast when you're there and there's a ton of people around. What makes for a good time in person doesn't always translate into good radio though. And I couldn't agree more about Ron and Fez's end of the year comments seeming rushed. They're usually heartfelt and powerful; this time around they tried to get everything out in 10 seconds and it was a bit anti-climactic.

[JustJon]

My craptastic acceptance speech aside, it was an honor to be Jew of the Year for the year 2007. And big ups to everyone who makes this board great for letting us bring home the best board award this year.

And they knew we had the gifts, and they spent the whole last hour of the show doing the superlatives. shit happens. I was just away from stuff this weekend. I'll get the pics up this evening of the gifts. They really loved them.

agree with mikeyboy, as usual. i understand what gvac is getting at, and if long time fans couldn't get in, that would be disappointing, but i think the open door thing is consistent with ron and fez's long time philosophy that everyone gets to sit at the cool kids table, and also fit with what ronnie said at Thankgiving-- which is that if you listen to the show and get the show, then you could be a friend, and be sitting there with them.

i think spreading/sharing the love is always a good thing

as for the gifts, dont they always talk about not really being into the whole gift scene? i know that when you contribute to something, you want either some kind of recognition or at least to hear it discussed, but in all likelihood, they'll thank everyone for the gifts when they get back. they've always been about thanking people.

i was only able to hear the last 40 minutes of the show but i thought the awards were really funny, and fez's "acceptance" speeches were fantastic. i liked that they weren't too serious although i think a handful of the listeners took them a little too seriously.

im glad to see rf.net round out the awards as i've grown over the last year to love the people here, even though i dont post too often. while im feelin all warm and fuzzy, id just like to say happy holidays to everyone here at rf.net and ty for making me feel at home over the last year. you're a great bunch of people

even mattie.

They do, but generally at X-Mas time, they usually kinda just let that go and if people give them gifts, they just graciously accept them. Besides, we're a fan site, and as fans we just want to do something nice for the guys because not only do they entertain us, but as you said in your post, they make everyone friends, and just want to do something nice for our friends at the holidays.

[GvacMobile]

Hello??? Is this thing on???

I really feel that no one is understanding what I'm trying to say.

Make no mistake - NO ONE loves Ron and Fez or the Ron and Fez show more than I do. And I'm not looking for accolades or a thank you. That's not who I am or what I'm about and I owe the boys far more than they could ever "owe" me.

I'm merely saying that for an end of the year show it was a bit disjointed and not what long time fans are accustomed to. I'm simply postulating that the bedlam that must have accompanied a studio full of fans may have contributed to that in some way.

Of course the show still managed to have some truly golden moments and Fez was on fire.

I'm not condemning Ron, Fez, mikeyboy, JustJon, or the show. And I'm not saying you have to be a fan for X amount of years to gain entrance to the studio. I just think a slightly more intimate crowd would have made for a better show.

[reillyluck]

im impressed that you posted that whole thing from your mobile. Boy you really do like your new phone.

[Furtherman]

Let's just hope the loudmouth reads this thread and realizes the social adjustments he needs to work on. I didn't hear the show but the descriptions are cringy.

[Hottub]

im impressed that you posted that whole thing from your mobile. Boy you really do like your new phone.

Would GvacNoMoreMobile have put in that kind of an effort? I think not.

[Marc with a c]

i didn't no where else to post this, but that gail o tribute was awesome.

[Hottub]

You're right, Marc. That was really good.

[ralphbxny]

You're right, Marc. That was really good.

I agree the Gail O thing was very nice. I was kind of waiting for a Jimmy Metal mention. I really hope they catch the Fuck that did it.

[moochcassidy]

You're right, Marc. That was really good.


it was epic.

the 'crazy' mix was perfect.

was that a mike the teacher joint?

Congrats to all the winners, and especially the board! You have been around forever, and have done so much for the show. That is why you are RonFez.net! :thumbup:
