How Did You Discover Ron & Fez?

[GvacNoMore]

And how long have you been listening?

[sailor]

2001 or 2002 (not sure of the timeline) used to listen to wnew all day at work after howard 's morning show. it was great with them, o&a and even don/mike.

[AnnoyedGrunt]

No choice for the WJFK era?

[kdubya]

You forgot to include WJFK.

[eeroomnhoj]

If I recall correctly it was on WNEW but there show was called Ronandfez.com. It was on at 1:00 AM or so. Is this right.

[RADIO-SHARK]

how did I discover R&F?

well, by listening to the radio...

[GvacNoMore]

If I recall correctly it was on WNEW but there show was called Ronandfez.com. It was on at 1:00 AM or so. Is this right.

Absolutely. When the boys first got to New York they were on overnights and the show was indeed called "Ron and Fez dot com."

That's when I first discovered them too.

[Sloppy2nds]

It was a total fluke. I purchased XM because the radio was only $20. Had it for 6 months before a co-worker turned me on to 202 for O&A. Eventually, I was listening for Ron & Fez and O&A became an after thought.

[drjoek]

WNEW on the radio from outside the city, real weak signal but I thought it was pretty cool when I could get the show. 100%er since I got the XM about the same time they came to sattelite.

[Foster]

I was flipping through the radio one night and heard this promo about a hamster in a tube, I was hooked ever since

[King Hippos Bandaid]

1am ron and fez.com was on WNEW, hooked since 1999-2000

[epo]

WJRR - 101.1 FM.

http://www.cflradio.net/Ron__Ron_Radio_network.gif

[commish13]

Pretty much as soon as they got the 7-11 slot after O&A. I used to live for Ron & Fez back in those days. And I loved the 2-a-days they used to do back when OnA got kicked out.

But then when they left, I forgot about them and the boys for a while, until randomly hearing about OnA on XM, and then a few months later Ron and Fez showed up, and I was right back to living for the buddays.

so, ron & fez were your you?

[Heather 8]

Was driving home from Bayonne after a wrestling show and had left the radio on WNEW. Coinicdentally they were talking about wrestling that night, and I was instantly hooked.

Not sure exactly when I started listening, but they were still calling the show RonAndFez.Com.

[JerseyRich]

Overnights...Ron and Fez.com. I had never heard anything like it on the radio and still haven't since.

They are the Best...Thing...Going...TODAY! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[EddieMoscone]

Was driving home from Bayonne after a wrestling show and had left the radio on WNEW. Coinicdentally they were talking about wrestling that night, and I was instantly hooked.

Not sure exactly when I started listening, but they were still calling the show RonAndFez.Com.

The first time I heard them was when they had Chris Candido on to plug his website. Man, that r&f.com thing is like a whole other world, eh? Was great for the ride home on the express bus after the 3-11p shift though.

[biozombie]

the ronandfez.com show was kind of brilliant, though I didn't really get it at the time. I kept thinking "when are these guys going to talk about the internet?". I didn't get completely hooked until XM.

[Dougie]

I first heard of R&F when they were on Free FM. I'm mad at myself for never giving them a chance.. I would listen to Free all day at work from O&A,JV and Elvis,Nick DiPaolo and then The Radio Chick. By the time I got home R&F would be just coming on and I never tuned in. I'm sure I missed some great radio.
Anyway, I became an O&A addict after listening to them every morning and decided to get an Inno. It was then that I started listening to R&F because they came on right after.
To be honest I don't really listen to O&A that much anymore... I guess you can say I got XM for O&A but kept it because of R&F. Now I record the shows and listen to them at my leisure... sometimes 2 or 3 times before I erase them... Glad to see I'm not the only addict.:laugh:

I was actually thinking of canceling my XM because it literally never leaves 202. I think Audible has a 1 year R&F subscription that's cheaper.

[ahhdurr]

15th century Royal Commission and a three ship fleet.

Lots of sailing.

R/F Ho!

[happytypinggirl]

I found O&A first, and then started listening to the other NEW shows and it was a long time ago. .com days i guess? i remember listening to some of the late night shows when i could, but i have no idea when that was. back then, i was a more casual listener because i worked crazy hours and was only really able to listen to radio when i was in my car.

I don't believe a word of it.

[epo]

I don't believe a word of it.

Who are you?

[underdog]

They were syndicated into Boston on 96.9 as RonandFez.com. I loved the show.

Then they were replaced by John and Jeff. Yuck.

[razorboy]

First heard Mr. B on Ron & Ron on 95ynf when I was about six years old. By hook or by crook (often with no small degree of difficulty) I've heard almost every broadcast he's been a part of since then.

[Don Stugots]

2001 or 2002 (not sure of the timeline) used to listen to wnew all day at work after howard 's morning show. it was great with them, o&a and even don/mike.


same here. I also liked The Sports Guys.

[TheGameHHH]

If I recall correctly it was on WNEW but there show was called Ronandfez.com. It was on at 1:00 AM or so. Is this right.

thats when i started too, and hearing Fez cut those promos during O&A shows....."Next time, on a very special Ron & Fez.com....."

[west milly Tom]

1998 on after O&A in NY.

[disneyspy]

me and a buddy used to take turns drivin to work in 89,he was from tampa so we listened to ron n ron on his turns,after about 2 weeks it was on my car radio every mornin.didnt get xm til last xmas and didnt hear them til april or may,i'm kinda new/old

[MisterSmith]

I heard Ron & Fez a couple times when they were on WNEW. O&A were syndicated to Philly and I got hooked on them; when I started listening at work via Syndication Underground, I would occasionally hear R&F when I stayed in the office late.

I became a real fan when they came to Satellite and I could hear them every day. Now Ron & Fez are my favorite thing to listen to. :thumbup:

[Sloppy2nds]

so, ron & fez were your you?
Kinda, lol

[drusilla]

Absolutely. When the boys first got to New York they were on overnights and the show was indeed called "Ron and Fez dot com."

That's when I first discovered them too.

that was the same for me, but i started listening to wnew for o&a. so i voted "through o&a"

[Marc with a c]

i invented them.

[EliSnow]

I was trying to find an Indian radio station. I found WNEW instead and declared it for Spain.

[Farmer Dave]

I started listening to 202 about the time they started on XM. Just left the channel on after O&A a few times. They soon became my favorite.

[happytypinggirl]

I don't believe a word of it.

none of them? not even "the"?

[GvacNoMore]

none of them? not even "the"?

Just the part where you said you used to work. :ohmy:

[Puggle_kicker]

XM. I dont even understand the older WNEW versions of the show. Its the same old Ronnie B, but who is that other guy with all the energy?

Al Dukes?

[mikeyboy]

I technically discovered the show back on WJFK because they used to simulcast the overnight .com show there when it began. I only listened occasionally when I was in the car late night, because I wasn't much of a night radio listener. I didn't start listening regularly until I moved up to New York, and the show moved to middays for the first time (late 2000 or early 2001) before Don & Mike came to WNEW. I got hooked because I had to move my car because of alternate side parking, so I would sit in my car listening to the radio and waiting to move it across the street. Then I started waiting in my car longer and longer and became a regular listener.

[sarsbusdriver]

.COM days on NEW.
It was late night, Dumpy was the producer, and they were talking wrestling.
I'm guessing 2000 or 01.

[NewYorkDragons80]

1am ron and fez.com was on WNEW, hooked since 1999-2000

Same here. That is second only to the current era, IMO. The 7-11 WNEW era is a distant third. I thought the Free-FM era was really hitting its stride when the plug got pulled, and they were slaying in the ratings at the time.

[mikeyboy]

1am ron and fez.com was on WNEW, hooked since 1999-2000

FYI - the show didn't begin on WNEW until 2000.

you do know you're the reason there's no jfk option?

Most of the mods.

[KnoxHarrington]

The first episode of R&F I ever listened to was the first XM show, but even before then, when I heard that they were coming to XM, I listened to some WNEW/WJFK bits on this site and liked what I heard.

Welcome newbie.

[cogsdoc]

Back in the WNEW days I was listening to O&A and a buddy of mine was working for both shows. He actually got some on-air time for R&F (they called him Punchy, anyone remember him?). Listened a little back then, but only got obsessed when I rediscovered them on XM

[Contra]

I had heard a few shows in the .com days, but didn't start regularly listening until I was managing at the Clifton commons movie theater in late 2000. When they left NYC I got the show SU as much as I could. Then I picked up XM, just for their show, about a year after they got there.

[djjd]

used to listen to stern on 97.1 in detroit, he left and rover came to town, rover got canned and o&a came on

loved the show and subscribed to audible, heard about ron & fez but hadn't really heard them, until, homeless charlie came along and audible substituted r&f for o&a while they were suspended

subscribed to xm after that

thank you homeless charlie

[PapaBear]

Wjfk

WJFK

I typed it twice, because the stupid board won't let the first one be in all caps. What's up with that?

[MacVittie]

I started listening in the fall of 2006, became an everyday listener in the summer of 2007.

[Reynolds]

I listened to O&A on WAAF when I lived in Connecticut. The first year O&A were on XM, I got XM for Christmas, and the nice lady on the phone asked me if I wanted to add "High Voltage" for another 3 bucks a month. I still thought they were unemployed at the time.

[wireman]

I guess I'm the only person here that discovered them on DirecTV. I didn't know who the hell they were, I thought they were some OnA bit or something. Long story short, first heard them spring of 2006. Got an Inno for xmas so I could hear a lot more of them.

[Devo37]

got hooked during the Three Hour Tour days on WNEW.

[moochcassidy]

came to visit my mate johnny in queens in 2002. hed been here for a few years and had got into WNEW thru don and mike. O&A had been fired for sex for sam so r&f were doin the double shift.

I flew in one afternoon and when i got to his apartment in queens we got some weed and he insisted we listen to some talk radio show he was in to. he showed me the daily news about O&A being fired. we got smoked up and he stuck the buddays on. they were doin a bit about your favourite guy movie. was the best thing id ever heard. i said why dont we call in? he didnt want to.

from the first second i heard the show i wanted to get involved. not just call in...i wanted to be part of it.

We live one block from that apartment.

This is my vote for best post in this thread. I knew you had been listening for years through "certain channels", but I'd always wondered how you actually found them!:clap:

[moochcassidy]

when i got home i couldn't listen until the 365 online thing or the dodgy wjfk crackly underground stream came out. wasn't until around 2004 that i could listen regularly.

have some great memories of staying up for the 11- 2am show (7-11 in DC). Thats why i always loved the FreeFM shows... reminded me of the old late night WJFK shows.

[PapaBear]

reminded me of the old late night WJFK shows.
And the perfect followup with the original Hideout. Good times!

[usoilworker]

I don't have a long history With the show i believe i first heard them when there was some contest to have different programs on the O&A channel. they seem to be the only ones that have stuck around. So now after feeling dirty for laughing at the general mischiefe of the o&a show i can feel clean and refreshed without havein to scrub myself with a brillo pad and clorox.

[britneypablo]

i had to vote i discovered it through O & A bc that was the first show i listened to but really i found out about it bc my coworker, eventual boyfriend, eventual ex, was the one who let me listen to his XM while we were at work....R&F came on and naturally i fell in love with the show and the guys....now all i wanna do is have the chance to hug ron

[NewYorkDragons80]

got hooked during the Three Hour Tour days on WNEW.

Wow, THAT was a brief era in Ron and Fez land. Come to think of it, they really set the world on fire at WNEW. They went from overnights to middays to evenings, then did evenings and middays at WJFK. Didn't they move to middays right when Godzilla lost his bet with Marine Boy? Godzilla had to wear a sign that said "I'm a kid toucher" in the middle of Times Square.

[niciggy]

May 2004 WJFK. Wednesday evening, late may in my car, after just moving to Virginia from Hawaii. Felt like I had finally found one good thing about Virginia. After that starting listening every night.
When they moved to XM, I was a freaking nervous wreck. I must've done 500 searches about "your mom's box". I didn't believe they were coming back.
I remember Ron saying, "I hate taking callers from someone named Ron, because I'm always afraid I'll hear my own voice talking back to me!" oooooohhhhh. Fez did his usual REAL-lly.
Also, Radio free Albert and of course, the best
comedy pyramids!
Friday night lights (which I never got the guts to attend)
The gradual beard shaving
Bobo
CRAZY Jen, getting more and more outrageous, with huge plans!

[furie]

I used to listen to then old ron and ron show when i lived in florida.
I lost track of them when i moved back to NY.
So I rediscovered Ron and fez one night while working late in 99. I got in my car to go home and i guess i had new on last, and there they were.

[K.C.]

A group named the Whatley Posse took me off the mean streets and offered me a home.

The rest is history...

[Fuzz Whatley]

i started listening early December of 06 on free fm
i was walking thru the park listening to the radio and just left it on

ive been an addict ever since

[Chimee]

I had no idea who Ron and Fez were before they came on XM.

[apexgunner]

I think it was 05 when I purchased my XM radio. The day I stumbled upon the show, Fez just got back from his trip with Elfish (another lost bet) and Perrynoid also had something to do with the show that day. I said to myself, what the hell kind of show is this. Needless to say, I don't think I've missed a show since. Fan for life.:laugh:

[GreatAmericanZero]

i discovered them when they were doing "Ron and Fez dot Com". They were on before "Love Line" and I heard them when i used to wait for "Love Line" to come on. It was like "wow this show is funny!" I was so happy when O&A started to embrace them too!

[Meataball23]

Definitely started during the late nite wnew days, would listen and play video games all nite...awesome hs memories.

listened online when i could when i was in college but got xm the day they started, and its been an everyday part of my routine ever since and I wouldnt change a thing

except im confident id like it more if they got rid of a certain free safety producer.

[scottinnj]

I heard their first show on XM, and since then they grew on me and now R & F is my favorite show on 202...which means it's my favorite show period.

[SatCam]

I started listening march or april 2002 on WNEW when I lived on the island thru some station surfing. I feel like I've posted this a bunch of times already

[angry gary]

wheres the jfk options douche bag

[Fallon]

When RonandFez.com was syndicated in Boston back in 2001.

Missed most of the JFK days and have had XM since they joined.

[Fallon]

wheres the jfk options douche bag

Fixed.

[Fallon]

They were syndicated into Boston on 96.9 as RonandFez.com. I loved the show.

Then they were replaced by John and Jeff. Yuck.

That was the craziest schedule too. They'd air the last hour live, followed by the first two hours on delay.

[underdog]

That was the craziest schedule too. They'd air the last hour live, followed by the first two hours on delay.

Yeah, it didn't make any sense.

I still cannot believe John and Jeff replaced them. I drove for a living (3rd shift) and would listen to John and Jeff and actually get angry. They are fucking awful.

[fezident]

Right around the Y2K new year.... I just moved back to Long Island and my brother told me about these two goofy DJ's named Opie & Anthony.
He wasn't sure what time they were on so he told me just tune into the station and wait for a commercial to come on that listed their showtime.
I turned on the station, I heard Ron & Fez (.com) and was hooked immediately.

I used to interact with the show quite a bit.
I'd call in.... I'd email.... eventually I started to record/edit interesting stuff from TV and send it to Ron via IM and they'd spend a bit of airtime talking about it.

When they moved to XM, I kinda stopped listening.
But I still love the buddays. And, of course, I love all you crazyass messageboarders.

[CHUCKWAGONCOOK]

I discovered Fez at the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day. It's true! I've even got a picture to prove it.
http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo92/chuckwagoncook_2008/012-1.jpg

[MIKEYDAKEN]

ronandfez.com the wnew christmas party episode with drunk anthony and chuck nice i laughed so hard i just had to keep listening started taping the shows cause my school said i could not sleep there anymore

[Sarge]

Started listening back during the dot com days. It gave me something great to listen to when I worked nights.

[ruggedo]

I'm not a good sleeper,so late night radio can fill up a lot of time. I caught the .com shows,followed them to JFK on computer, and had the XM when they arrived. I still like the midnight show,cause I still dont sleep well, that replay is good company.

[ozzie]

Started picking up WNEW on an internet feed when Don and Mike moved to the mid-day slot in 2001, and discovered O&A and R&F immediately. I'd miss most of O&A while commuting, but I'd have R&F on almost every night at home. Pretty soon after, I found a site that uploaded the R&F show every day, and never missed a show after that.

Pretty soon I realized that this was one of the Ron's from the Ron and Ron show I'd heard a few times on WZEW out of Pensacola, Fla.

[stronger129]

I started listening a few weeks or so before the whole, Billy Staples whipped his ass with Al Dukes' pay check.. I realized then.. I NEVER WANT THIS SHOW TO END.. first event I went to was Loser leaves the show, Dukes vs. Rory at Hooters.. I wont lie, I was sad when Al Dukes left..who was I going to hate? Well then came Wonderboy and I hated him.. Listened to the underground stream when they went to JFK and was sooo happy when they came to XM. Now I know eventually..this will end.. IDK what Im going to do.. I love Ron and Fez!

[Osty]

Only from XM, but luckily from day one on there. Was so pumped for the first show with O and A building them up, and I have to say they were even better than the hype.

[Devo37]

Wow, THAT was a brief era in Ron and Fez land. Come to think of it, they really set the world on fire at WNEW. They went from overnights to middays to evenings, then did evenings and middays at WJFK. Didn't they move to middays right when Godzilla lost his bet with Marine Boy? Godzilla had to wear a sign that said "I'm a kid toucher" in the middle of Times Square.

i think it was during the midday Three Hour Tour that they started the Big Ass Cards. i remember they were trying to decide what they should call their members-only club. thankfully, the 'Fez And Ron Team' wasn't the winner.

[jennysmurf]

I started listening when they were on 102.7. Let's see....it was O&A, The Radio Chick, Don & Mike...then Ron & Fez? Was there someone else in there too? It was love at first listen.:wub:

[disneyspy]

i was running a radio station in tampa and i had just paired up a dj and a comedian,oddly both were named ron,for a morning radio show and i was looking for a third mike.i was at a car wash when i heard this young skinny kid say"i fake an orgasm by pulling out and spittin on his back",i put my shriners hat on him and the rest is radio history

[ToiletCrusher]

WNEW - when finishing college undergrad.

[Yosammity]

I occasionally used to flip on WNEW when I was in my car. I would hear an advertisement for some goofy show called Ron & Fez.com. The ad sounded so ridiculous that I would wonder to myself, "Who would listen to that stupid show?"

One day I was in my car in the afternoon or late morning and for some reason they were playing Ron & Fez during the day. They discussed dodge ball for a full hour. I really enjoyed the show and started listening.

I didn't realize I was addicted until they got exiled in D.C. After some searching I was finally able to listen on the underground.

[yojimbo7248]

I had just moved to DC from Hawaii in 2001 and was flipping through the channels. I heard Fez's voice on WJFK and thought he sounded hilarious. Then Ron came on and I was immediately hooked. I thought this is brilliant, matching an over the top gay guy with this no bullshit, down to earth guy from Philly with a dry sense of humor. Of course, later on I found out that Fez is not gay and very, very heterosexual but I still found the show a perfect match of radio personalities. They were talking about the strength of retards and I had never heard anything funnier. I have been a huge fan ever since.

[barrytheblade]

I started listening when they first came to XM. I hadn't even heard of them, but I live on the West Coast. Been listening ever since. I doubt Opie could have found anyone even in their league to give another Golden Ticket. I've always loved talk radio, starting out with Howard and Phil Hendrie, and these two shows are comedy and radio refined to make 8 hours of the best you could ever hope for. The replays make it even better.

[Dougie Brootal]

wjfk. i had a POS car with no cd player in it and my brother told me about jfk cuz howard :thumbdown: was on it so i gave it a shot. better than listening to the shitty music on the radio!

anyway i was drivin to my chicks dads house one friday nite after work and caught a comedy pyrimid about michael jackson or something. i was hooked.

[furie]

wheres the jfk options douche bag

that would fall under the "never listened to them" option

[ahhdurr]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

thaaaank you.

[Sue_Bender]

A divining rod.







You're welcome.

[Devo37]

I didn't realize I was addicted until they got exiled in D.C. After some searching I was finally able to listen on the underground.

i didn't realize i was addicted until they switched from afternoons to nights. i figured i'd never listen again since i was either out at night, or home watching tv. suffice it to say, within a week, the tv was on mute and the buddays were loud and clear on my stereo.

i also found the underground when they were in DC. it was a major pain in the ass, since i still had dial-up in those days.

[ACE22286]

I never really listened to them until O&A got suspended for the Homeless Charlie Bit and I had to listen to Ron & Fez and Im glad I did because I never Knew a person could be so smart and quick with comebacks like Ronnie B and I havnt missed a show yet. And my favorite themed shows are the hypnotism shows where Dave and Fez usually try to talk in another language like Chinese. I cant stop laughing. I have to take a break at work when I listen to these so I dont look like a fool listening to my headphones and laughing out loud at the nursing home in the middle of the night where I work.

[alabamatrucker]

I live in Alabama so like the first 15 shows i listened to , i didn't get. I didn't really get there type of humor or Ron's sarcasm. I thought Fez was a character and just pretended to talk like he does. I also took everything Ron said serious. I know im a dumb ass but it took me a little while to catch on. Now i find myself looking forward to Ron and fez more than Opie and Anthony. Dont get me wrong i love OnA but i just like the discussions and some other aspects of Ron and fez more.


AT

[Johnny Manf]

I always heard O&A mention them but never heard their show until they came to XM.
Been hooked ever since.

[FezPaul]

Listening since they came to XM

[boobieman]

Only heard of R&F from O&A. Listened when I could when they were on WNEW at night. Miss the baby parties they use to have at night. Once O&A got suspended and R&F were put on during the day almost all day, listened almost all the time. Still remember then talkin about the DC sniper. Was somthing that just stuck in my head. I also remember, when the Bucs won the SuperBowl and was so looking forward to R&F to talk about the game, and switched on WNEW...and Fresh was on..YUCK!!!!
Since moving to XM and afternoons, I listen every single day for the full 3 hour tour.

Show is the best and just hope they NEVER leave XM.

SEEYAYAYYAAA

[KingGeno]

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 didn't really listen to Ron & Fez until after East Side Dave and Black Earl had their cameos earlier this summer. I decided to tune in just to see if this was really the land of the misfit toys the way it was seeming to be. Definitely hooked now. Even the bad bits are funny for the wrong reason (Board Gossip, Fast Food Review). They almost lost me with the constant Lilly vs Lillian but by the time the Election Show came around, it's just my favorite show. Beats O&A for me almost every day, except for when Louis CK is in studio.

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.

I came in on the underground. Ken from Portland started playing me recordings of his letters being read on a show in 2003 or thereabouts. And lo, without RonFez.net, or Saint Mikeyboy of the Internet, I never would have developed the real physical addiction I have.

Don't like any other 202 peeps. R&F 4-Ever.

Years ago I listened to Ron & Ron, then went to Ron Diaz and Ian Bechols. And, eventually found 202 a few years ago. Now I'm giving .net a shot. We'll see how it turns out.:help:

One of the O&A sites (i think oavirus) had the Al Dukes-Pinball bit....I think that was the first R&F I ever heard. Then I listened to some clips in the file library and occasionally the WJFK show.

Listened to them on XM since day 1.

A good friend of mine told me about a gifted producer on 202. That was in 2006 and I have not missed a show in almost 3 years. I love it when those other guys are bombing and Earl comes through to save the show, and my day. This is a nice website, but I usually like to discuss the show on Earl.net..

Started listening to the show back in 2001 or 2002 I believe. I was a Stern listener who moved to O&A during the afternoon drive because I worked second shift. After a month or so of listening to O&A and enjoying them I gave Ron and Fez a shot. At first I was a little confused by everything going on, but I never turned them off. I listened to them every day at work while encoding checks. It was fantastic. Of course I also remember having to sit through 20 minute commercial breaks which was brutal.

I remember thinking the same thing about the Bucs. I was excited to hear Fez and then all of a sudden they were gone. I was distraught. I was never able to listen to them underground because I just didn't know the sites. The day I heard that Ron and Fez were coming to XM I signed up. From there I got back into O&A because I believe there was still a month or so until they were back on there. I haven't missed a show since. I am also now going back and listening to the old WJFK shows. It's great. It's strange because on there Fezzy was Fezzy. I can't remember when he made the turn.
