Why Don't You Listen To The Show?

[lleeder]

The last couple of days I've seen some people say that they don't listen to Ron and Fez. Silly me thinking all members of RonFez.net would also be listeners of Ron and Fez. So I have a question why don't you listen to Ron and Fez?

[underdog]

I wonder if this thread will get merged with All The Mods Are Unfunny Queers (http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?t=70363).

[Sinestro]

I don't listen to the show live since I don't have XM. But I listen to the show from the stuff in the file library.

[Coach]

I didn't listen for a few weeks after the whole Dave shoving Fez's face in the pizza..then I cooled off and came around.

[jonyrotn]

I think there are a few other message boards that lead to or link up with this one..It's possible that people end up here inadvertantly and like what they see, so they stay..

To these people I say...Go get an inno you cheap pricks!

[jauble]

Posting and not listening is like rubbing one out with pumice soap.

[ChrisTheCop]

I listen as often as I can, but their schedule doesnt gel with my own.

I usually listen to (a portion of) the last hour on my way in to work,
and (a portion of) the first hour (replay) on my way home.

[led37zep]

I'm important.

[Fallon]

I hardly listened when they were on JFK, but since they've been to XM I think I've only missed a couple shows.

You miss all the middle goodness.

[Gmann]

I usually wake up around 2-2:30ish, so I miss most of the show.

[sailor]

my secret is that i do listen. now mind your own business.

[DolaMight]

Unless you listen every day the only correct answer is "I dislike Ron and Fez." Animals.

[SatCam]

can't pay for it + not home when they're on:wallbash:

[Gvac]

If you sign up for an online subscription to XM it's $2.99 a month for the first six months then reverts to the standard cost of $7.99 a month.

I know these are tough economic times, but I refuse to believe someone can't afford $2.99 a month.

I can find that in the cushions of my couch.

[Bossanova]

I new job doesn't allow it, and the midnight replay is past my beddy bye times. I try to catch up on the weekend, but I get the GREAT Virus Saturday show instead.

[The Jays]

I don't listen to the show because I am allergic to humor. It causes hives.

[Gwen]

I can't listen 'cause I work in an ultra-uptight conservative office who, if they knew I even enjoyed the show not on their time would likely shit can me.

I'm quitting my job and I have lots of days off in the next 4 months so hopefully I'll be able to enjoy the boys like I did on Friday.

[spoon]

[BOY BOY]

what time are they on? i put my radio in my toaster and hung it out the window like iris told me and i still can't hear them. the blender might help. i'll get back to you.

[KC2OSO]

Agree. Whatever. This is a tired fucking subject. I catch a show now and then but really I haven't heard the boys regularly in months/years. It's well-hidden in plain sight.

PEOPLE WHO HAVE JOBS CAN'T LISTEN TO THE RON AND FEZ SHOW-EVEN IN REPLAY.

I'm not long for XM or satellite in general. This medium is neither well-done, nor is it rare.

300 channels of what I already have or can't reasonably get.

(oh shit - is the replay on?) it's 12:08!

[PapaBear]

Since I listen to the show recorded on my XM, I don't think I've missed more that 6 hours since they came to XM. On the weekends, I listen to old FM recordings that I missed live.

[TheMojoPin]

Don't wanna pay for radio, and their shitty timeslot and replay schedule makes it even more unappealing since R&F are the only reason I'd get XM.

I love the show, but between being a fulltime student and working 24-32 hours a week on top of that really doesn't leave much much time to listen thanks to the boys getting the shaft in terms of when their show is aired and replayed.

Hopefully someday soon things'll work out.

[underdog]

Well, at least you're not a mod. It would be really fucking weird if a mod on ronfez.net didn't actually listen to Ron & Fez. Especially with the multiple ways to get their shows.

If this really is a huge deal for people, I have zero problem not being a mod. Between work and school and homework and life in general and not having any significant commute time, I don't have time to listen to much of a 4 hour radio show outside of 20-30 minutes here or there.

[grlNIN]

I don't listen because i also don't want to pay for XM.

I'm only online for leisure at nights for a couple of hours tops and i don't remember to DL shows and it honestly doesn't rank high on my list of priorities.

[KC2OSO]

Since I listen to the show recorded on my XM, I don't think I've missed more that 6 hours since they came to XM. On the weekends, I listen to old FM recordings that I missed live.
For me, the joy of the show was listening to it live and having the chance to call in.

[KC2OSO]

Unless you can listen to it at work. Then its a perfect schedule.

Ok. Let's say you have to think really hard while you are at work.

Can you listen to a really deep radio show and concentrate on work while you are at work? I didn't think so.

Ron and Fez is not a casual listen.

It's a 3 hour radio show.

There are jobs you have to think at?

[PapaBear]

For me, the joy of the show was listening to it live and having the chance to call in.
I enjoyed that part of listening when they were on WJFK, and I thought I'd hate not listening live. But I actually love it. When I listened live, the way my job works, I'd get to listen for 10 30 minutes, then miss 10 to 30 minutes. It really ruined the flow of the show. Now, instead of missing chunks of it, I just hit "pause".

[TheMojoPin]

It's a 3 hour radio show.

OK, I still don't typically have the time to listen to a 3-hour radio show.

Agan, if it's such a horrible thing that I'm a mod here and can't/don't listen to the show, I won't be a mod. It's no big deal either way.

If your join date shows any reflection of when you started listening to the show regularly, then the people you are quoting have been listening to the show for at least 4 or 5 years longer than you have.

Just because we don't listen now doesn't mean we never have so get off your high horse and STFU.

I listen and have a full time job.... recorded on a XM player at midnight, listen traveling to work and on the way home from work

Watson, if it were just the matter of hearing RnF, we'd be done. This goes long beyond that. We've built special recording machines, built logarithmically perfect antennas, laid underground cable...to hear this show. There's a lot of history here. Unless you travel to work at noon and midnight, you may suffer our same plight...

Seriously, what is the problem if I'm a mod and don't/can't listen? It's not like I hate the show. I'm pretty much only a mod to help out mantaining the board here or there. I was a regular listener for many years up until last year when I moved and went back to school, which is why I stepped down from being a mod before. The staff asked me to be the forum mod of the politics forum because I'm a regular there and had been a mod before. They asked me to be a "full" mod agan for a short while a short time ago while a couple of the other mods were away and then let me stay on after that. What is "real strange" about any of that?

And hey, since I'm not taking a summer session and my quarter ended last Friday AND I'm off the next few days, I'm gonna be able to listen. Now nobody can complain when I go on a random ban rampage.

[mdr55]

I guess I'll never be a mod. I haven't listened to the show "live" since it left FreeFM. I DL bits and clips from the board now and then. I think Ronfez.net has surpassed just being about the show and has spread out to many different areas or whatever but the core will always be R&F. Sure it would be nice to listen to the show but some people can't for whatever reason. We got the messageboard here which is like the R&F newspaper and read about the drama, the gossip, the comics, and other stuff. RonFez.net knows no bounds.

[Knowledged_one]

Layoff Mojo the guy has been steady on this board for many a year and even used to do R&F hourly recaps for the ny people went they went to DC

Mojo i think you should stay on being a mod has no correlation to listening to the show what so ever

[Jujubees2]

The best was when the boys were on WNEW from 7-11. I would catch them on my drive home from work and then listen as I did the nightly dishes. I can't listen at work now and really don't want to pay for XM.

[A.J.]

From the end of the WJFK days until about the end of last year, I could probably count on one hand how many times I heard the show. Either I was busy, overseas, or otherwise unable to listen regularly. Nobody seemed to notice or complain and I like to think I still Modded fairly effectively and fairly.

Besides, only Mojo can run that Politics Forum.

[Freakshow]

Well, at least you're not a mod. It would be really fucking weird if a mod on ronfez.net didn't actually listen to Ron & Fez. Especially with the multiple ways to get their shows.

Lol. Back when I joined we had mods there weren't even on the board at all--period. Carter, GVAC, etc...

[Hottub]

Mojo's a fine Mod. He doesn't post in the listening thread, but that's about it. (whore)
He helps maintain the message board, not the show.

[MisterSmith]

Wow, this thread is kind of weird. I can see people listening to the show but not posting on the board, but I didn't expect people posting on the board but not listening to the show.

I can't catch 100% of the show every day, but I certainly try to listen. Usually I stream at work on my computer. and I listen to weekend replays when I can

[underdog]

Nope, I started listening when during the ronandfez.com days, or whatever they were. They were syndicated to Boston for a short period (before being taken off for John & Jeff, yuck)

Just because we don't listen now doesn't mean we never have so get off your high horse and STFU.

I was really just making my comments because I wanted to fuck with Mojo. I didn't actually realize there were so many people on this board that didn't listen to R&F.

It's kind of sad.

[KC2OSO]

I don't think it's sad at all, the board is about more than the show, for good or bad. There was a period where the vast majority of the board was not able to listen (allegedly) because R+F were only on in DC. So the people that stuck around cared about the board even though they couldn't react directly to the show.

[topless_mike]

i have sirius. wont be able to listen to the show until the merger. (crossing fingers)

I think what's sad is that all these people are online a lot, yet listening to Ron and Fez isn't high up on their priority list. Why wouldn't people want to listen to the show?

[Fezticle98]

It has definitely become a habit for me. If I miss the show live, which I will usually do partially for lunch, or occasionally totally, I have to catch a replay or find another way to listen to it.

I probably end up listening to each show about three times between live, replay and recorded on my Nexus.

It's like an OCD, if I miss all or part of a show, I must track it down and listen. I've been listening since they came to XM, but it became can't miss a break radio around Jan '07. It's a rare treat when I hear a Best-of that is actually a show that I haven't heard before. Although with Earl's "Instant Classic" mentality, I imagine that is the case for everyone.

[Freakshow]

Where is Mojo, we need some modding in the place right about now...

[Jujubees2]

Ron and Fez is not a casual listen.

I am luckily able to listen on a fairly regular basis, but I had to stop for a few weeks when work got busy for that very reason - it is a distracting show in that way.

[angrymissy]

And seriously, anyone criticizing people for not being able to listen, yet being active and/or mods on this board, get off your high horse. Most of those people have been on this board since the beginning, know and are friends with most of the people here, and are damned qualified to mod it.

I really don't care either way, as I understand this board is more than just Ron and Fez.

But why is thinking people who are active on the Unofficial Ron and Fez Messageboard should be listening to the show being on a "high horse"? You're the second person to use that term in this thread. If I said I was better than people because I listen to the show and they don't, then I'd be on a high horse. But I never said that, and I don't think anyone else did. I just can't understand someone not seeking out Ron and Fez no matter what, but I that's just my personal opinion.

Who said anything about not wanting to listen? I'm online a lot when school is in because I'm typically doing reading, studying, research or writing for my classes in my office at my desk which is where, shocker, my computer is. It helps me stay relaxed to, say, read a chapter or write a page and then hop online for 5 minutes. Throwing on the show, or any radio show, for 5 minutes in the middle of something where I have no idea what's going on doesn't really hold much appeal. I need the quiet when I'm doing schoolwork, so I don't have music or the radio or TV on.

More things that are "sad" or "strange," I guess.

You do realize that some work sites block streaming media, my last 3 jobs actually have done that. They dont block the board but they do block the XM site so tell me again what does being online on the board have to do with anything.

Im shocked that you cant comprehend that people dont have access to the show at all times

[TheMojoPin]

Got the show on and the US Open on in the other room and no work again until Friday. Shweeeeeeeeet.

[ravn816]

Like many other working people who have the XM, my portable unit gets no reception inside my building (I've tried) and my stupid IT group blocks streaming audio so I can't listen on XMs site. It really sucks. And sorry, like many others who work 12am-3am replay is sleeping time.

I do work from home sometimes, so I will put them on then, or if I'm off. Otherwise, I'm fucked.

[hunnerbun]

I own my own business but I still can't listen to Ron & Fez on the off chance that I might offend my clients. The down side of working with the public. I mostly catch the replays on the weekends and I am off on Mondays so I listen as much as I can then.

[Heather 8]

Sadly, I had more time to listen at work than I've had in the week since I started my leave. :thumbdown:

[The Jays]

I have my Inno, I listen to it with one earbud all day at work, otherwise, I'd lose my focus on my work. Luckily, Ron and Fez are on around lunchtime, when work isn't as busy, so I can catch the whole show, eat lunch, and work, otherwise I'm away from the Inno off and on. For a while, when I didn't have the Inno, I'd try to listen to the replays, but they were too late, so I just would download whole shows and listen to and from work on my iRiver. I still download whole shows if I miss one due to a deadline or something, and I'll download Unmaskeds since it's hard to catch them on weekends.

I just need something to entertain me on trainrides and while drawing/ designing stuff, so, I need the show, along with the Lionel show, the Michael Kay Show, and Garrison Keilor's Writer's Almanac for the five minutes at 11 on XMPR. That gets me through my day.

[Kit the Eskimo]

I never listen live because I don't want to miss anything. I record the entire program on my Inno and then listen right after. It stinks because there have been many occasions when Ronnie mentions eskimos or Alaska and I would have loved to have called in. If anything just to hear some of Ron's eskimo jokes and borrow some of them
