View Full Version : Ron and Fez show, The End?

Sounds like the Ron and Fez show might be considering a retire.
I think it's time for a good change for everyone, instead of dragging so many dead horses with them.
In my opinion Fez should now work behind the scenes with whatever show(s) Ron moves on to next.
It's too much pressure on Fez to be a front man and will probably do his health good to hang behind the scenes helping out his friend.

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you

miss rampant speculation
I hear Ron and Fez are thinking of leaving XM for Florida
I hear Ron is thinking of leaving the Ron and Fez show and concentrating solely on Unmasked.
I hear Fez is going to leave and the show will become the Ron and Dave show.
I hear Earl is going to be let go and they will hire Pepper Hicks as executive producer.
I hear O & A are planning on leaving XM and the Virus channel will be dismantled and Ron and Fez will do overnights on channel 152.
It's all coming together - timed out perfectly - Ron will finally get to move back to Northern Virginia this summer and join Mike O'Meara for the super-charged hyprid show: The Ron and Mike Show, while Fez retires with Don Geronimo to the beach, plotting their delicious next move.

How could you all be so blind!?
The real story is that they aren't getting picked up in the merger so they are trying to get Dave hooked up with O&A so he will be able to support his family.
Earl and Pitzy are lost causes no matter what happens, Lilly will find her own way and succeed at whatever her next choice is. Bronx Johnny will continue to work his full time gig and make an appearance on the O&A show occaisionally, Dave needs a push out the door before it's too late cause his loyalty will have him go down with the sinking ship.
Ron will hook up with his own afternoon drive show and feel like he never missed a beat by having to occupy 3 hours of show all by himself, Fez will work behind the scenes and grow ever more healthy day by day.
O&A will stick by The Ron Bennington show by dropping his name on a weekly basis until something Ron says is taken out of context and Opie's ego sends him out of control and he confronts Ron on air during the Ronny B show. Ron will demolish the O&A show on air, making all 3 look like asses (except Ant and Jimmy were unwilling participants in the whole assault). Opie will summon the pests to take on Ron, after 3 days of relentless attacks Ron will have the pests beat and they will then follow the Ronny B show, making unrelenting attacks on the O&A show until they have to close off the phones, instant messaging and Pal Talk.
It's so simple to see!

ron bennington will wind up on some radio station because
1) ron is the best ever on the radio
2) he needs the cash as his kids and family took all his paychecks
3) his rent is so high that if he told you how much rent he pays you would never stop crying.

Hopefully it will follow Punisher: The End and wrap things up with Ron cowbelling the last few humans on earth.
After Wednesday's show I was sure that they were on their way out because of the merger. Now I'm not so sure, but things are a changing. If it is because of the merger I bet it will be Summer before they're gone. If there's even a small number of higher ups from XM left it's still going to take forever to make changes.

03-28-2008, 10:01 AM
The point of a fan forum is to talk and speculate. There is no reason that people shouldn't be speculating on the end or the changes or whatever is going on in the show.
There has been a lot of strangeness going on in the show. Dave is being pushed away, for what seems like good reasons. Fez might be going to an over night mental facility. The barbs being thrown at Earl and Pitzy, are getting more and more negative and to be honest the company line of "We don't fire people" really needs to be reevaluated.
I don't get why people think that speculation is so bad. I know that most of you that post here are like mega fans, that hang out with the show and go to Bar 9 nights and whatever. I don't however think you take into consideration that there are some people that are just average fans of the show that like to listen, like someone who likes to watch LOST, or CSI.
So IF I was on a LOST forum, I doubt I would have any negative impact in the forum, or called a moron because I decided to speculate how the show will end or what is happening. I think sometimes you mega fans are so close the the cast of the show that you can't even imagine that there are people that are distanced from the show and enjoy it for purely entertainment. We don't consider the Ron and Fez show as an extension of our lives.
Also I don't think that you get speculation doesn't= attacking the show.
For me speculating on whether or not this is the end of the Ron and Fez show, is the same thing as wondering, if Ben is a good guy or a bad one. It is sad that more people don't get this maybe if they did there would be less negativity in the Ron and Fez fandom.

Who cares about the type of entertainment it is show. Fiction, fact, opinion who cares it doesn't mean that speculating is wrong for either one.
After John Stewart was on Crossfire. There were huge speculations on the end of that show and if John had started a fire. Was that wrong?
After Larry King acted like he didn't even know who Jerry Seinfeld was and didn't do his prep for the show there was speculations on should he leave, was that wrong too?

Its funny how quick we are to believe the worst. Ron has dropped mixed messages all week, while seemingly warning everyone off the sinking ship, he also says things about trades (why bring the 3 sams onboard a sinker?) and repeatedly tells Fez that when he's better he's gotta fix this or that. I think I remember Elo saying at some point in time that the 2 shows on 202 were always the top 2 on XM, Sirious is gonna want programing, why would they get rid of one of the top shows they're buying? The merger is gonna happen, when it does Sirious will definatley trim some fat , So Pitsy and Earl be warned (during this time, while Sirious is gonna be listening and deciding who to keep paying, Ron is shining a spotlight on their ineptitude. A way around his no firing stance?) Dave is wanted by a more heavily financed show so Ron is working the sitiuation on Dave's behalf, trying to get more money for Dave. As for the Ron and Fez show Ron still talks as if there is a future. Maybe the doom and gloom hints he throws are part of a negotiating ploy while the superagent works on a deal with Sirious, or maybe he knows that he and Fez are safe but the staff is expendable in Sirious's eyes. Sombody in another post mentioned Ron's saying that XM has said "this is not the show we bought", I remember that too, but it seems to me it was in the context of saying that radio stations don't care about content, just ratings. He was saying that they could do whatever show they wanted, including crying Fez shows, and as long as the listeners kept coming back they were safe. Sirious is only gonna look at the numbers. I can't see them passing on this large and loyal fan base. I can see them passing on Earl and Pitz and any other expense that can be done without. Wishful thinking? Maybe, but I'm gonna hold on to hope.

I wasn't insulted or anything I am just defending people that were. While trying to get people to understand that speculation doesn't equal being negative about the show.
I can empathize with you about how hard this is for you guys. I mean no disrespect when I say this but you guys that are so close to the show are almost Ron and Fez trekkies. You are a group of folks that are amazingly dedicated to a radio show. That is awesome. You guys are just as much part of the show as Earl and Dave are.

First I am a girl so I could have sex with myself tonight for free. Second Trekkies don't think being called Trekkies is an insult and it was the best way to illustrate what type of fans that are so close to the show are like. If you would have read my posts before this you would have seen I am all about being positive.
Silas, I am sorry if you can't be objective enough to see blinding similarities between the two groups of fans. You guys might not have conventions but you have a ton of get togethers during the year. You have special tshirt, caps, cds, mugs, mouse pads and all the swag that you can get at a trek convention. the similarities go on and on. It is the nature of fandom. And yes this is a fandom, with the minor difference in that you are fans of an show that don't mind letting you guys get close and that is rare and something to cherish.
Seriously what I said wasn't meant as a negative comment. The fact that the only thing you could really say was a dig at my sex life just proves that it's all about the negativity and not being objective when talking about your fandom.

Hydee, i was being sarcastic!..
I wasn't refering to you in my last line- (and apologize if i didn't make it clear enough) .
It was an attempt at a self-depreciating joke; trying to insinuate that i'm an R+F fan who thinks he's better than Trekkers (see, i even like Star Trek!) , but also can't get a girl even when paying. (which er, um, is a joke in my case, ahem, yeah)
Like 99% of R+F fans, i don't have any R+F merch, swag etc and have never been to an event and in my case, have never even met anyone who has heard of them
(Tho i am going to buy an ObeyFez sticker sometime!)
I agree, that a fan can get involved w/the show is a great part of it, even for those like me who enjoy that part vicariously.

Exactly sir, that's what it's all about. I will continue to be a fan not matter what. Ron and Fez are still The Best Thing Going........TODAY. I am doomed to follow them anywhere.
x2 Ronny and his crew keep me company and entertained every night. It's the best thing going. :drunk:

Its funny how quick we are to believe the worst. Ron has dropped mixed messages all week, while seemingly warning everyone off the sinking ship, he also says things about trades (why bring the 3 sams onboard a sinker?) and repeatedly tells Fez that when he's better he's gotta fix this or that. I think I remember Elo saying at some point in time that the 2 shows on 202 were always the top 2 on XM, Sirious is gonna want programing, why would they get rid of one of the top shows they're buying? The merger is gonna happen, when it does Sirious will definatley trim some fat , So Pitsy and Earl be warned (during this time, while Sirious is gonna be listening and deciding who to keep paying, Ron is shining a spotlight on their ineptitude. A way around his no firing stance?) Dave is wanted by a more heavily financed show so Ron is working the sitiuation on Dave's behalf, trying to get more money for Dave. As for the Ron and Fez show Ron still talks as if there is a future. Maybe the doom and gloom hints he throws are part of a negotiating ploy while the superagent works on a deal with Sirious, or maybe he knows that he and Fez are safe but the staff is expendable in Sirious's eyes. Sombody in another post mentioned Ron's saying that XM has said "this is not the show we bought", I remember that too, but it seems to me it was in the context of saying that radio stations don't care about content, just ratings. He was saying that they could do whatever show they wanted, including crying Fez shows, and as long as the listeners kept coming back they were safe. Sirious is only gonna look at the numbers. I can't see them passing on this large and loyal fan base. I can see them passing on Earl and Pitz and any other expense that can be done without. Wishful thinking? Maybe, but I'm gonna hold on to hope.
Well said. Hear Hear!!!!:clap::drunk::thumbup:

First I am a girl so I could have sex with myself tonight for free. Second Trekkies don't think being called Trekkies is an insult and it was the best way to illustrate what type of fans that are so close to the show are like. If you would have read my posts before this you would have seen I am all about being positive.
Silas, I am sorry if you can't be objective enough to see blinding similarities between the two groups of fans. You guys might not have conventions but you have a ton of get togethers during the year. You have special tshirt, caps, cds, mugs, mouse pads and all the swag that you can get at a trek convention. the similarities go on and on. It is the nature of fandom. And yes this is a fandom, with the minor difference in that you are fans of an show that don't mind letting you guys get close and that is rare and something to cherish.
Seriously what I said wasn't meant as a negative comment. The fact that the only thing you could really say was a dig at my sex life just proves that it's all about the negativity and not being objective when talking about your fandom.
Ahem.................not to put too fine a point on it.................but the preferred nomenclature is TREKERS. Trekkies are indeed an insult.
So I've heard.

It's pretty obvious with the timing of this that it has everything to do with the merger. If Mel Karmazin ends up running the show, he will get rid of anyone who makes Howie look like he isn't the best thing on satellite radio. He will probably just do away with XM202 by saying that they only need on comedy talk station. The FCC only allowed the licences for satellite radio by saying that no single company could own both licences. I hope they stick to that, but I'm not confident that they aren't as corrupt as any other political entity.

This thread makes me wonder what Ron & Fez show I'm listening to. Because it's obviously not the same one that some other people have been listening to.

I would love the Ron and Mike show, especially the 9 minute comercial breaks every 20 minutes WJFK runs. Fez and Don can show up for an absinthe show every know and then.
It's all coming together - timed out perfectly - Ron will finally get to move back to Northern Virginia this summer and join Mike O'Meara for the super-charged hyprid show: The Ron and Mike Show, while Fez retires with Don Geronimo to the beach, plotting their delicious next move.

I'm sorry if someone else brought this up in this forum, but I don't see anyone mentioning the fact that XM LOOOOVVVEEESSSSS the buddays. If anyone needs to be worried about losing there job to the merger it's the other guys, not the XM darling's Ron and Fez.

I said it before: Don and Fez would be great together for a pre-game football show.

I have to agree, XM even invited Ron and Fez to employee appreciation day.

Say again - I'm not sure the suits heard ya.
:smile:
Great point, btw! As some of us remember, the "love of football" is one of three things Fez and Don share in common...
