Ive got to say today was genius. every show is good but today's just crushed. the one slow point was when they were talking about boner and wax player and while i was sitting there lost it hit me... earl and pitzy and wickie and the myriad of things that ron has to deal with arent what wrecks a show. the message board people are the lone reason for a show screeching to a halt.
bear with me here, but xm has close to 8 million subscribers in 2 countries and worldwide on the internet, and here's a scenario that plays out time and time again: ron and fez are cruising along for the first hour of a show riffing on topics and giving their opinions and experiences and killing. say ron brings up the topic of movies and inevitably the show is torpedoed by board poster 'frenchfry' calling up and wasting the next close to an hour complaining about the time that frenchfry went to the movies with SuperDude and Spankypants and Frenchfry is still mad at Spankypants because spankypants didnt offer to pay the toll on the george washington bridge 4 months ago on the way to the theatre. from here it devolves into such inside, private and personal dreck that the only person who remotely gives a shit are frenchfry and spankypants which leaves 8,999,998 subscribers out of the loop and pissed off.
second scenario is noon rolls around, great show opening and music choice, ron and fez greeting and ........bah SuperDude is sitting in for the entire show for the 14th time this month, forcing his way into the conversation and defacto 3rd mic and adding nothing of substance to the conversation other than he's battling with sparkleface and bigbutt44 because after helping bigbutt44 move a dryer, bigbutt44 slammed superdude in a post online.
again i say, other than the 3 fake name, online board posters, who gives a fuck about any of it. fuck them and their dryer. today with no callers and pestering message board people (mostly) fez was on fire and constantly interacting, ron was brilliant dropping one-liners and even dave was interesting and sounded bright and with it.
i think the message board folks feel like they're all part of the show because ron and fez (and opie and anthony) have to be the most accessible and outgoing media / entertainment celebs on the planet. they go to bar outtings, interact with the listeners and make the listeners feel like a part of the show. this is a great thing, but its when the message board people take it too far and think because they bought ron a cigar at a bar nine outting in 2006 that they can take over a show and talk about pretend online people and reference places and events that only matter to the 3 pretend online fake name people who were there.
flame if you want, but if someone's irked its likely theyve got 8000 posts and have called in to talk about the time they were on paltalk and greengoblin76 and them were talking about a time they took a train down to DC to see ron and fez at WJFK 4 years ago.
