How I got into RF

[Liverspot]

I ran into RF by accident.

I just realized this with the announcement of the OnA 4th anniv.

I had my first xm radio when I bought my Honda in 05. I tried the free sample, then bought the 3 year subscription.

I first started to listening to ona as a stern alternative (truth)

RNfez were on the same station, entertaining but not the focus.

Now Ron Fez are the primary reason that I keep my xm and the reason I am posting here to begin with.

OK, I love the cerebral aspect of the program, the flow and banter. Ronnie B is brilliant, so off the cuff. Fez is cool, I wish I knew more about him before xm...Dave has his moments +, he has his moments -

Well, am writing this while the stupid presidential debate is on.

I just want to give props to Ron Fez, I just renewed my subscription and I love the live feed.

How I got into RF
beer and a lot of lube with the one, ron i just like to listen to

[PapaBear]

I got into them when they were playing best of shows on the weekends on WJFK. I had previously been wasting my time with NPR, but I tuned into WJFK to listen to Redskins games at work. The Hideout and Ron & Fez were totally foreign to me at the time, but I fell for them immediately.

I bought an XM unit for O&A truly. Didn't listen to Ron & Fez, due to my job's work hours. I started doing contract work so I was on the road a lot. Still didn't listen.

Finally listened for the first time in either early October of 2006. I was camping out to reserve a Playstation 3 at a local Gamestop. I never listened to Ron & Fez, but arriving at the store front camp site at midnight and the replay starting at midnight seemed like density. Sat there listening to them and laughing my dick off. That show was I believe a best of a Harry Shearer interview. It was excellent.

Ended up being first in line, getting a PS3, and selling it on Ebay for a loss.

But in the end...I prob wouldn't have listened to Ron & Fez if it wasn't for that long cold night.

Next show I heard was about Dave being blown by his dog. After that I couldn't quit it.

I needed something to listen to after my 3-11pm shift. RonandFez.com did the trick.

same here. I had just moved to DC in 2001 and was flipping around the dial on a Sunday morning and heard a best of show. they were talking about the strength of retards. I had a nasty experience with retard strength so I felt as though they were speaking to me. I've been a fan ever since.

[MacVittie]

I got XM about three years ago for MLB only. I became a big fan of Lucky Louis on HBO, and was flipping through the XM channels and heard Louis on O&A, and became a big O&A fan, and would hear R&F replays late at night when I'd leave 202 on. I quickly discovered that Ron is incredibly brilliant when it comes to food, film, music, and sports, and I love the XM format much better than FM. Over this summer I really became hardcore hooked on R&F and became a 100&er.

[The Jays]

I got into Opie and Anthony back in 2000. When I came home for break at Christmas, I was heavily involved in playing Final Fantasy, and I would play for hours, and end up leaving WNEW on all day. First, I remember the commercials, which didn't really tempt me with their promises to check out websites about breakfast cereals. Then, I listened to the show, and slowly realized as I played my game and smoked my cigarettes that the show has nothing to do with .com sites, and just was the two of them dealing with the ineptitude of their staff, and how they would find humor in every single thing they discussed. Soon, I looked forward to Opie and Anthony in the afternoons, and then I awaited for the sun to go down and 11:00 to come, for the greatest late night show ever.

I was hooked.

[STC-Dub]

I had no clue who they were r I got an XM radio. Some guy told us to check out O&A. So at work we turned on 202 for a replay of an interview with the great Shirley Phelps Roper, I have been a listener ever since.

[ahhdurr]

I was delivering auto parts in 2001 and 2002 and into 03 I believe (that degree really worked out)

I used to listen in the delivery car, then I was moved into the back warehouse where every day I'd unload a buttload of parts and then start to inventory them...slowwwly... to the sound of "gather up all jugalos and roll... everybody come see the greatest show" on 102.7

I literally may have finally been motivated to quit that job due to R/F getting booted out of NYC for the time being. They were like career kryptonite.

I bought XM to hear them again. Incredibly lifelike Fez's corpse I have to say.

[Bob Impact]

Mine was sometime in 2000 or 1999 (I was still in High School) as I was driving around late one night. I don't remember exactly when it was, but I remember where I was and that it was late at night, so it must have been during the dot com days. Flipping through the radio I caught them doing the old "Let them think what they want Ronnie, we don't care." "Well some of us do care." bit. I've been hooked ever since.

[Mullenax]

Got an XM Roadie four years ago, immediately hooked on 202 and got a job delivering pizza in the middle of nowhere so I could listen more.:happy: Love for Ron and Fez at first listen.

[KatPw]

I started listening when they came to NEW as Ron and Fez dot com.

[red_red_red]

I started listening about 3 years ago when i got Direct TV, I was surfing the channels and O&A were on, then i stayed for R&F :clap:best decision ever!

[PerryWinkle]

Who are Ron and Fez?

[hurlmon]

a Late night drinking during the .com days

[Marc with a c]

i invented ron and fez

[KC2OSO]

i invented ron and fez
But Opie invented Marc with a c and I thank him for it.

[OGC]

....Next show I heard was about Dave being blown by his dog. ....


Get it straight silly, it wasn't HIS dog that blew him. :bye:


I truly have to thank O&A for my introduction to Ron and Fez. If they hadn't given them the Golden Ticket, I probably would never have heard of Ron and Fez.

[FUNKMAN]

wnew days, car radio, crazytalk, dug it...

[DOHO@HOME]

Started after Opie gave them the golden ticket.
Which was huge for all of us XM'ers.:thumbup:

[Contra]

I started in 2000 when I was managing at the Clifton commons movie theater. All the other managers would listen to NEW all day in the managers office, so I got hooked on Ferrel, Don and Mike, Opie and Anthony, and Ron and Fez. After all these years I still love the show.

[MONICA5579]

i got into ron & fez because i had xm in my car. i would mainly listen for o&a back then and would always change the station when ron & fez came on, not because i didn't like the show, but i had no idea who they were.

then one day i heard ron & fez talking about the different types of rock... wizard rock, etc... from then on i was hooked. i began listening to the replays that came on at midnight and was hooked!! i began calling in and really felt special because the crew was always so friendly to me.

i don't get to listen much now at work, but i still love the show!! :thumbup:

[disneyspy]

i was fan of these guys back durin the ron n ron days.my mom gave me an xm for xmas,i was flippin through the channels last april and i felt like the luckiest guy in the world when i heard ron shittin on fez about a shitty xmas gift.i called my mom and told her she had given me the greatest xmas present ever,she was alittle confused cuz it was spring

[Misteriosa]

found r&f around the time i was first listening to new...ferrel, radio chick, ona, and later ronandfez.com baby :clap:

[AnnoyedGrunt]

I'm sure I've told this dull story before, but in a round about way I found Ron and Fez through Howard. I was a regular Stern listener when they took him off the air in Toronto. However, at the time I was living closer to the border and was able to catch the signal from a Buffalo station. However once I got decent reception I was afraid to change the station in fear of never getting that clear signal again. So one day I turn on the radio and hear O&A doing "What the Hell is That?" and I slowly start finding myself enjoying them more than Howard (being in College and having no desire to wake up early to listen to a morning show didn't hurt either)

Then O&A end up going away and I forgot about them until I saw Norton on TV and then started downloading whatever old bits I could find. Then the site I went to for bits went through a dry spell and didn't update for a while, leaving me with nothing to listen to. I figured they're always putting over Ron and Fez so I came here and eventually got hooked.

[KingModem]

Got XM back in 2003 to take the boredom out of my hour long commute to school everyday, and then after the High Voltage channel was put on the regular subscription, started listening to O&A after I had the curiousity of why this channel thought it needed to be an extra $1.95. I heard the first AFRO show after the announcement of the addition, and now I only listen to R&F.

special thanks to Mikeyboy for putting all the old bits of importance on RF.net for us new comers to catch up!

[landarch]

I began listening during the NEW days, when they were on 7-11, right after the dot com show. I've been a rabid 100%er ever since.

[CHUCKWAGONCOOK]

In 2005, I was working as a Chuckwagoncook for a cow outfit on the ORO ranch in Prescott, AZ.
One of the cowboys, Spider Dailey had a XM radio that he'd let me use during the day while the cowboys where out roundin' shit up.

I'de listen to everything from music, Monsters in the Morning, Lex and Terry, O and A. He kept telling me to start up with R&F and I tried a couple of times but it seemed the few times I would listen , it was always Fez and his gay banter about comic books or what not.

Then one day while I was givin them another try. I was bringing the noon out to the cowboys out around Mahon Camp and the boys were gatherd around the chuckwagon eating some beef 'n' beens and Ron said, " The only reason you should be wearing a cowboy hat is if your on a horse roundin' shit up". And sure as shit, the boys I were with were doing just that.

Ron spoke to me and the guys like he was God, just a knowin' what we were doing.

It's been a rare day since then that I haven't listened to the show.
Waiting for Ron to talk to me directly. AGAIN.

[bobstevens4]

I listened to Ron and Ron in the early 90's. They were syndicated through Savannah and my college was in the listening area. I found them by accident on XM in 2006. It still blows me away on a daily basis, that these guys have been through so many changes and continue to be relevant .

[zildjian361]

it was 2000 i was doing 90 days on work release for a third dwi . i owned my own Baskin Robbins store in westwood nj. so i had this little transistor radio i had to listen to try to go to sleep at night. the rest is history.Bac #2352.:smoke::drunk:p.s. i get my licence back 2010:help:

[yojimbo7248]

It's interesting reading how everyone got into them. Someone mentioned Fez's gay banter and I remember that Fez was what hooked me. Ron is funny, intelligent, and a pleasure to listen to but it is really Fez that made me become an instant fan. I really like the guy. He has excellent timing and is funnier than hell but he also has this harder to describe likability, if that is a word.

[Annie Waits]

My boyfriend CHUCKWAGONCOOK and I packed everything we owned in our little Toyota corolla and left Arizona for a roadtrip. The person driving would be the one choosing what's on the radio. From AZ to the FL keys, up to Montreal and then back down to Tampa I was stuck listening to 202 for 10 000 miles. I secretly fell in love with Fez and I was hooked.

[WhistlePig]

I used to work nights and driving home late I'd flip around the FM dial trying to find some talk to listen to. I'd listen to NPR or Art Bell but one night in 2000 found Ron and Fez.com talking about their favorite breakfast cereals. Been a diehard fan ever since (but give me a break on the photo below--I was 7 mos. pregnant at the time).
