Anybody else think he would be a great guest?

I saw this article and couldnt help but wonder if he was a Ron and Fez fan.


Are You Stronger Than a Five-Year-Old?
Buzz up!

Of course there's something wrong with a Website that calculates how many kids you could beat up. It's just not quite what you think.

angry kindergartner ready for fisticuffs

As a longtime critic of both children and antigladiator legislation, you'd think I'd love a Website that calculates how many five-year-old kids I could theoretically defeat in a street brawl. Sadly, this is not the case. Despite its promising concept, I see a lot of flaws in HowManyFiveYearOldsCouldYouTakeinaFight.com. I question its scientific validity.

After punching my personal data (and my self-styled fighting philosophies) into the site's prompts, I was informed that I could maul about seventeen kindergartners, assuming the skirmish took place in an enclosed basketball court and we all wore groin cups. Now, granted, this total does seem roughly accurate. However, I fear this Website only considers the "average" five-year-old. What if these youths are like the kids from season four of The Wire? They'd kill me instantly. What if these five-year-olds are like all those fat, PlayStation-obsessed brats I see on youth soccer fields across America? I'm sure I could take eighty of those insecure motherfuckers. Unless I see some real data showing what kind of five-year-olds I would be theoretically facing, I cannot support the soft methodology of this Website. I'm sorry, HowManyFiveYearOldsCouldYouTakeinaFight.com. Try again.

He should get a Pulitzer for that kind of reporting.

I'm a huge Klosterman fan, although whatever you do avoid "Chuck Klosterman IV". Turd!

I also like Chuck K., I enjoyed a lot of IV but skipped everything about sports, and also think Bajeebi would enjoy new Brooklyn resident Reggie Watts- he is a multi-instrumentalist that has turned to comedy, improvising beats and loops and lyrics onstage: www.reggiewatts.com.

Yea, sounds like everyone else in this thread heard him on Bill Simmons podcast this week.

Can we also request for Bill's college friend Jack-O to be on Ron and Fez to talk about the real world?

Klosterman - great idea. He is also a good perfomer. I saw him on a panel at the Brooklyn book fair last fall and he was hilarious. Sometimes funny writers aren't good in front of crowds but I could imagine Ron and Klosterman working well together.

I just finished Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs while on vacation. I think he'd be a great guest and I feel like he would "get" the show very quickly.

If im not mistaken Chuck did an episode of The Sound Of Young America which is another good podcast.

As far as the book goes the reviews didnt look to good on the novel.

Where do I sign this thing?
