What Do You Miss Most?

[Gvac]

Which feature of the Ron and Fez show do you miss most?

[Dan G]

Comedy Pyramids

Steve Perry, Jr's "wheels in the sky keeps on turnin'" drop ever time he entered the studio.

"This is Charley" drop every time someone named Charley would call.

[jonyrotn]

I remember Iris from Bayridge used to call Steve Sommers on the overnight and talk s-p-o-r-t-s all the time...What ever happened to her? I havn't heard from her since Hot Tub and Crazed drove her home from Bar 9 that night..That's so weird..

[reillyluck]

Being on terrestrial radio. nuff' said!

[Devo37]

it's close, but from that list, i'd have to go with iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiris, with the news you can use for the jews.

[Hottub]

Comedy Pyramids

[PanterA]

Greatest poll ever. :clap:

I really miss Iris

[grlNIN]

Comedy Pyramids were the best but i have to say that it is the unrelenting banter of Joe Poo vs. Al Dukes.

[mendyweiss]

Really Miss Sweet Iris, Those Marlboro's Are Going To Do Her In One Day, I'm Afraid

[PanterA]

"Nooo, wait! I'm the one who should be missed!" -Kenny Allen

[MagillaGorillaz]

Whatever happened to Joe Poo.

[Gvac]

Remember when callers would phone in their Oscar nominations with Paul O?

[Hottub]

"Nooo, wait! I'm the one who should be missed!" -Kenny Allen

Having Kenny Allen back for the Thanksgiving show was awesome!

[TheQuestion]

Mooch.

[PanterA]

The Jobber thinks your all a bunch of fags!

[Badinia]

I miss Comedy Pyramids.

I miss Kenny Allen. He got to say things. I hear his voice broke and he started designing ro-butts.

[FUNKMAN]

[Bay Ridge Tim]

Time slot + terrestrial radio in NYC = great callers.

I don't know if it's what they want, but I hope there's a day when R&F are back on in NYC. I always felt that R&F should have been a New York institution.

Also miss:
Comedy pyramids -
Al Dukes (!!!!!)
Radio Shark as a nightly caller
Joe Poo
Iris
Hawk facts

[TheMojoPin]

Wacky Wake-Up Guy.

[TheGameHHH]

Happy Fez

aka WNEW Fez................god i miss 7pm-11pm.

[TheMojoPin]

Screw 7-11 PM. Overnights were the insane glory days. Remembering those days is like being 60 and longing for your awesome, crazy 20's. Longing for the evening shift is like longing for your comfortable but kind of safe 40's.

[NewYorkDragons80]

They have such a great vibe at night... and I hate having to listen to them at night on delay. Joe Poo as a producer may not have worked, but maybe have him call in frequently like Blowhard or Mike the Teacher. I'd love to know what twenty-something Jobber's up to. I remember getting a laugh at Free-FM when I opened a call with "What's goin on guys?"

[Friday]

Terrestrial Radio, hands down!

I really miss the Free FM listening thread.... those were some good times right there.
So considering my age now, and my need for sleep... I have to miss the evening shift of 6-9 or 7-11....

The overnights were GREAT... but those were different times. For all of us...

[Bay Ridge Tim]

I liked the overnight when they were still selling the .com gimmick it felt like everything on the Internet was new and amazing. A website about cereal?!?! Will wonders never cease?!?

[underdog]

I did like them on twice a day, but do people REALLY miss terrestrial radio, when every 3rd caller would get dumped out of?

EVERY good radio show should avoid terrestrial radio at all costs. It is terrible.

[robot artist]

The thing I truly miss the most is our beloved Fez firing on all eight cylinders... all my best to him, especially next week. We love ya, Fezzy, and we're pullin for you.

Second most, I guess, is the 7-11 timeslot - because it was a night show, with a night-time vibe, and brought the night-timers into the studio. And the best thing about that era is that for a very brief period of time, it was a golden lineup on radio if you lived in NYC. The day started with Howard in the morning, then Don and Mike, then O+A, then Ron and Fez, and then Farrell. There weren't enough hours in the day to listen to everything...

Just because one can now hear "everything" doesn't actually mean that all of it is good.

And that's not anything on the boys...that's referring to the callers who got dumped on free radio who are now the winners who call up just to swear as much as possibe or toss out slurs and hateful shit and contribute absolutely nothing to radio and life.

[farluu]

Ron and Fez do terrestrial better than anybody. I miss afro shows

[nassue]

"this is charlie...."

[topless_mike]

terrestrial radio, so i too can enjoy them.



my favorite time was when it was ronandfez.com, the 11p-3a slot.
the soft music in the back ground, the 30 seconds or so of dead air between thoughts.

that, my friends, was a great time in show history.

[A.J.]

:thumbup:

[GreatAmericanZero]

i voted "Fezitorials", but i actually preferred "Catty Moments" to Fezitorials, but i consider that vote to be a vote for any prepared Fez bit

[9mileskid]

kenny allen no doubt

[Furtherman]

I look forward to the show every day. Remembering is fine, but anticipating what is next is better.




Ok, I miss the Fezatorials.

[Freakshow]

I miss Friday Night Lights.

[drjoek]

Fezzatorials



THANNKKKK YYYOOUU

Also Friday/ Saturday Night Rocks and Brother Weeze on weekends.

[BlackSpider]

I know it's recent, but I loved Fezzie's Z-man plugs...

[The House]

Miss LeBron James' Drunk mother

[damainer]

I miss the old Fezzie

[weav]

Fezatorials and Nature Boys are the two things that immediately attracted me to the show. I miss all the produced bits, like Uncle Fezzie, Gumshoe Gang, etc...

[conman823]

Gotta say the overnight and 7P-11P slots were the best. Its what made me a fan of the Buddies.

I miss Iris the most followed by insane Night Callers.

[Tears]

I miss shows that aren't completely centered around what fake problem Fez is suffering from that day. But I'm sure yet another vacation will solve all the problems. They damn sure don't take enough days off during the year.

[EliSnow]

I can't believe you didn't list comedy pyramids. That's what I miss the most.

[Tazznum1]

Fezatorials. Feels like '01 all over again

I felt the earthquake and I ran to the shed and when I opened it I saw Bobo with Mother bent over the lawnmower. There was no earthquake. Wait a minute.......

[RhinoinMN]

Kane/Pyle

[ozzie]

Y'all are making me nostalgic as hell. Time to hit the file library.

I miss everything about the WNEW days. The oddities opening, Al Dukes, the interns and regulars, the NY/NJ callers, the comedy pyramids...

[Aqualad]

The oddities opening...

GREAT call. I effing hate the ICP, but I get chills anytime I hear that Oddities opening on the Best-Ofs.

[Hottub]

ICP was the opening for the entire FreeFM run.

*sigh*

[FunkyDrummer]

Fez's brother Corky drinking Jack in the studio and beating the shit out of "Sweatpants" Harry.

[TheMojoPin]

Loved the closing music of Semisonic's "Closing Time" and "Vertigogo" by Combustible Edison.

[ichi_gami]

Miss sane Fezzie. :glurps:

[Gvac]

How's this for a blast from the past?

[djjd]

i miss soundboard fez, he was the best

[robot artist]

Here's sumthin else I miss - when both Ron and Fezzy and whoever was in studio used to close every show with multiple "SEE-YAH's!"

[Swannee]

I have only been listening since they have been on XM so I know I probably shouldn't be commenting. But I miss all of Fez's written bits(Fezitorials, Catty Moments, Rick Flair, even Z-Man plugs). I just think he is a brilliantly funny writer. And Starr Jones was a riot.

[RoseBlood]

the make believe ballroom

this is charlie

take it easy clarkie

comedy pyramids

staples NOW!!!

spy-reports

al-ducks

FM or XM, i just miss the show.

[PanterA]

What was the name of the little kid that would call the over night show from under his covers.

That kid sounded suspiciously like Joe Pee and Kenny Allen...hmmmmmmm....

[wishbone61]

I know it didn't transfer to XM but Foul Mouth Elmo was funny!!

[docgoblin]

I think Iris was the greatest. About a year ago I found a bunch of old Iris bits (Thanks to Mikeyboy) and I downloaded them all. I can listen to them over and over. The comedy pyramids should have also been on the list. I loved getting in on those back in the day.

I think a big reason Fez goes into the background is not so much because of his mental state, but because he is not comfortable doing a talk show, which radio has mostly become. He really has little input when they fall in to a straight talk format, especially if they get on topics he's not interested in. He beats himself up for not having an opinion on such subjects, but he really shouldn't. He is a performer. Even now, if they do a theme show (Don The Hypnotist, Earl & Dave boxing etc...) or big event (Big Ass Brawl, Dave's wedding) Fez shines. No matter what's going on in his head he always steps up when it's time to really perform. His mind doesn't seem focused on the show when it becomes more of a talk style unless the topic is something he is interested in (comics, politics, celeb gossip). That's what makes Ronny such a great radio host. He can go with the stupid bit when it comes up. He can also do an interview as well as anybody, even when the subject doesn't interest him. He is also able to carry on a discussion no matter what the topic. I know Ronny would love for Fez to pop in a Fezitorial, a "Nature Boy" or a Catty Moment once in a while. Hopefully this week will help him get back on the road to doing more of those things again.

Sorry I kinda went off-topic but I thought it was somehow pertinent... However, I could be wrong.:flush:

[blacknoi]

"This is Charley" drop every time someone named Charley would call.

Speaking of.... anyone got that "this is charlie" sound drop in wav or mp3?


Also miss how Fez would say "Hi Gary" but he said Gary more like geeerieee

[NewYorkDragons80]

"this is charlie...."
HO-LEE SHIT. You win for reference of the DECADE!!! Well-played, sir.

I was never too crazy about comedy pyramids. It was way too formulaic and you had to sift through 4 bad calls to get one good one. Take it easy clarkie was a testament to Ron's improv skills. I'm with Mojo on the Closing Time ending song.

[docgoblin]

I also love that Ron has been doing the "Hiya Budday! Here's a little Hoo-Ha for ya budday!" When people give their BAC number recently. As soon as I get my card from Al Dukes I'll be joining in. I can't wait!

[Bossanova]

I miss the ability to start a thread with the word faggot on their official/unofficial web site

[sailor]

you may be right, but Boss has had some drinks and not thinking as clearly. For that I thank you

Fez's brother Corky drinking Jack in the studio and beating the shit out of "Sweatpants" Harry.

[TheMojoPin]

Miss non-third person Boss.

[Gvac]

I dunno...Gvac kinda digs third person Boss.

[Bossanova]

I dunno...Gvac kinda digs third person Boss.

HAHA.

Boss is kinda fond of third person Gvac as well

[Gvac]

Gvac and Boss are clearly a cut above the common trailer trash that makes up the rest of this board.

[Bossanova]

Boss and Gvac are dare I say the upper crust of this (cough) community

[TheMojoPin]

Gvac and Boss are clearly a cut of the common trailer trash that makes up the rest of this board.

I agree. They don't call it "dirty love" for nothing.

[StizerUK]

I miss the overall party atmosphere of the 7-11 time slot. Every night was just kicking back with some friends and letting loose at the end of the day.

[Dash77]

I miss the two shows a day..

[GregoryJoseph]

I think I miss the 7-11 PM time slot most of all.

[sailor]

I think I miss the 7-11 PM time slot most of all.

i love this slot best of all. like a lot of people i only listen during work. 7-11 i'd almost never hear any of the show.

[rick9669]

kenny allen...........he's the 1 that says things:laugh:

[landarch]

kenny allen...........he's the 1 that says things:laugh:

i heard Ron say on the show the other day re: Kenny Allen that his voice changed and he "won't even do it around the house any more". Miss Kenny Allen and Iris.

Catty Moments

[happytypinggirl]

I miss the two shows a day..

ditto. im greedy.

[Meataball23]

I miss earl free shows

[beachbum]

Iris and any of the pre-written Fezzie bits.

I also miss music beds that compliment the show.It may just be me but in the Best-Ofs I can hear the beds way more clearly from the old FM shows than I can during an XM show.
It must have something to do with the XM system.Whenever the levels are up where I can hear the background the buddays yell at Earl or Hicks to bring them down.I never heard them do that in the old days.

[Don Stugots]

i voted fezatorials but iStugots misses all that stuff.

[spot]

I miss the characters, and the callers..but most of all the old time slot.
