The Ron & Fez Show and Mental Illness

[Gvac]

Another "the chicken or the egg" type question - does the Ron and Fez show cause mental illness or does it attract the mentally unstable?

Look at how many people associated with the show are certified loons, and I'm not just talking about the staff. Friends and fans of the show are mostly wack jobs, as witnessed by today's horrifying display by Paul O.

What say you?

[TheMojoPin]

I'd say talk radio in general attracts the dregs of society.

Hi!

[Jughead]

Just listen to the commercials and the audience they are targeting .........:wacko:

Shhh! CuntyMcslutison.com!

[KingGeno]

It's like Ronnie is a Bug Zapper of Sanity and Truth.

[starvingkids]

I zone out during the commercials and i turn in to a big green monster and i eat little babies... What commercials am i missing anything important? I havent incorporated my business yet, hopefully i am not missing some kind of commercial about that. No mental illness here...

[MadMatt]

:lol:

Ron actually spoke to this point a year or so ago.

They were talking about everybody related to the show that is 'mentally unstable' when Ron blurted out "I'm starting to think I am a carrier!"

One of the best lines ever.

And I think the show just attracts weirdos - we generally seek our own level, so a show full of weirdos and misfits seems "welcoming" to many of us. :laugh:

[reillyluck]

there's nothing wrong with being a little "off". at least thats what my therapist tells me.

[Furtherman]

You have enough patients to write a dissertation, Doctor Gvac. Have it published in the New England Journal Of Medicine.

[hammersavage]

the show attracts crazy like flies to a lamp.

i think the buddy's are so great, that anyone knows they can feel comfortable in their environment. everyone is accepted.

[RhinoinMN]

I was a little fucked up before I started listening, but I think that my condition has advanced drastically.


A couple of days ago I told my wife and my mother that my 6month old daughter looked delicious and would BBQ wonderfully.

They both looked at me with terror in their eyes.

I can spot 'em a mile away, Ferdinand.

Which reminds me - I'd like to have a word with you in private.

Coming from a guy who is afraid of hot and cold.

I uh.... have to... oh no... I gotta go!


*runs out of thread*

[Drunky McBetidont]

i don't understand all this talk of mental instability. everything i hear sounds perfectly normal. i think some of you people have a very strange sense of sanity.

You have to have timing, Rhino. TIMING!


As to GVAC's question, I've liked it from the dot com days so I vote it attracts the damaged.

:wacko:

[KnoxHarrington]

I lean more towards the notion that it attracts rather than causes. If anything, I feel far more sane after hearing Paul O's meltdown today.

[cartshlepper]

Mental illness, well, I will have to discuss it with the voices in my head

[CofyCrakCocaine]

Normal's a bullshit term anyway.

[spankyfrank]

Is pee in my butt an option with this question?

[AnnoyedGrunt]

I don't see anything wrong with anyone associated with the show. How can you say they're crazy? They went to your schools. They went to your churches. They went to your institutional learning facilities.

well, chubby little 6month old legs really do look succulent.....cant blame you on that one.

radio causes mental illness, its the headphones shooting frequency at high levels thru the ear hole basically turning the skull into a microwave that simmers the grey matter leading to paranoia or confusing about ones self worth.... Ronnie seems to be immune, maybe its his early in life experimentations with pharmaceuticals that has slowed the progression of his eventual mental illness

[GreatAmericanZero]

well, no one on ronfez.net is mentally ill..right? right?

[PanterA]

I think the whole world has some kind of mental problem in one way or another. It's just become more acceptable to share those problems.

Indeed.

They say things come in threes, so I'm wondering who'll complete the nut hut trifecta now that that Fez and Paul O have both landed there.

Will it be Earl, Dave, Pitzy, or Lilly?

[A.J.]

I think Ron read this thread.

Lilly in the nut hut may be borderline jack material.

Like you had to ask. You called it 2 years ago. (http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?t=48674)

[Knowledged_one]

its not working ive been here for seven years the medicine isnt working

[Stankfoot]

just think how bad this place would be if you all weren't so heavily medicated!

[Hottub]

If Jay Mohr joins the board, it will be confirmed.

[Gvac]

Hmmm...

[jimmyolsenblues]

I vote attracts...
Fezzie has so many quirks and ronnie is in recovery ..."Come on Buddy cheer up"...
I just imagine that Ron is tell me to cheer up.....
Ron and fez attracts mental illness and shut ins....

The "friends and fans" you hear about are more likely to be mental, because mental issues are funny.

[Gvac]

Still trying to figure this one out...

You know my thoughts on the matter G. Let's just say CCC is right on the claim of "normal", but cutting, constant lying, and so much more is surely even off the grey area of the "normal" bell curve. Surely the show enables some behaviors that are off, and most of the time it's hilarious, but at others it's on the line of explotation if not over it. I realize normal people can be boring, but so is the constant beat of the I'm different drum. For me this includes those pop culture idiot savants who exude that too cool for the room vibe simply because their lives are totally engrossed in being different. Seriously, knowing the name of the keygrip from Smokey and the Bandit does absolutely nothing for me, let alone for the guy who spouts it off in conversation.

[RENFIELD]

I've been scared a few times
from identifying too much with Fez's mental illness...

I didn't realize how fucked up I was ...
Fez's display of it can draw you in...

On the bright side...
I'm not GAY !!!
(the worst thing you can call a man)

and 2 ...

I DON'T HAVE FEZ'S NASTY STREAK !!!

[Ritalin]

Why can't it be both?

[Gvac]

Why can't it be both?

Hmmm...interesting theory.

They seem to be coming out of the woodwork these days.

[Gvac]

It's Asperger's run amok!

Does it make me a bad person?

Bumped because Ron mentioned it on the show a little while ago, saying he'd put his staff up against the crew from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest as far as how crazy they are.

I'd include the fans.

You're all bat shit.

The uprising shall begin as soon as the package is delivered by the black bird.

You still have too much time on your hands, Greg.

Maybe you need another hobby.

Like knitting.

[drucifer]

I was seeing a councillor or mental health nurse or something she never specified this morning.

She asked what I did in the evenings. So I told her "Ron and Fez, 5 to 8 (BST)"

She asked me to knock it on the head and do something more active and social instead.

Being mentally healthy sounds shite.

[thepaulo]

I know two things.
I know I am sane.
I know you guys are crazy.

After today's show I thought about this thread again...

[lleeder]

I think all these threads could benefit from some polls.

[walker]

I think all these threads could benefit from some polls.

lleeder, why weren't you back on the air today? You were awesome on Friday. I particularly liked your lack of humor and your inability to exhibit quick wit? Was your tight t-shirt cutting off the oxygen supply to your brain, or are you just genuinely umamusing?

It might be a mixture of the two. I enjoyed your call today.

I see what you are doing...two can play at that game. lleeder, you are a gentleman and a scholar. I enjoy everything you say and do. You are truly a delight.

Ah, I see what you did there. Nice try, but wrong guy.

Don't worry Gary. I'll never tell.

Is that what the military told you when you tried to enlist?

No Gary that never happened. Gary you really are a card.:lol:

[redragon]

I began listening to R,F since last December as a new Xm subscriber. Coming to Xm for OandA I gave R,F a chance and really enjoyed listening to them until Fez started sucking all of the fun, humor, and energy out of the show. Today I finally couldn't take it any longer. I will give them one more shot tomorrow and if its the same shitty bit i'm gone. If anyone else feels the same way please join me, until Fez finally blows a dude or gets pounded or whatever it is that he needs to stop being such a crying little bitch. Red Dragons!

[nicco]

I'm sure u will be still listening to them... Redragon..

[Gvac]

I hope this vacation does everybody well; staff and fans alike.

Maybe this place should close down while they're away and give everyone some time to think of other things.

It's an odd reflection on yourself that you think people who post here can only think about this place.

It's like how thieves are always afraid someone is stealing from them.
