Here's the transcript. Sorry for poor grammar:

"One other thing that came up on the NYRMB this week- Ron and Fez apparently out of syndication. I really didn't know this I'm basing my comments based on what I saw on the NYRMB. I have found Ron and Fez to be UNLISTENABLE. I don't think this was always true. I think the show has gotten UNLISTENABLE at this point.

It seems disjointed, confused, I don't know what they're talking about half the time. I just don't like the show. I'll be honest, I was never a big fan of it but I did believe a year ago that maybe this was the show that could capitalize on Opie and Anthony, maybe this was gonna be the next show. I mean that was the implication WNEW was making certainly they believed that when they fired Leslie Gold they basically made the argument that "Ron and Fez should be the next breakout show so we're certainly not gonna fire them and we have to make room for Don and Mike so therefore we're firing Leslie Gold." That was more or less the argument they made that they had faith Ron and Fez was going to be the next big show on WNEW. You know what? Not gonna happen. This show is just not that good. I don't know what they're talking about half the time. It just sounds like a bunch of nonsense.

Now you can say well you kind of thought the same about Opie and Anthony at one point, that's true, but you know what the difference was between Opie and Anthony and Ron and Fez? Opie and Anthony kind of grew on me as I listened to the show. I didn't like it at first, admittedly. But as I listened to it over time, I began to see the appeal of the show. I don't necessarily like all of what I hear on Opie and Anthony but I do understand the show has an appeal and I can see why it works. You don't necessarily have to like something to understand why it works. I don't like hockey particularly but I understand why some people do. Well It's the same thing here. I may not be wild about everything OA do, and I do like some of it but I don't like it all. That being said though I can understand why they are very popular with certain groups and so forth. They are very good at what they do whether I personally like them or not.

I don't hear that with Ron and Fez. Again, I don't like the show and it's not growing on me any. In fact if anything I liked it more a year ago than I do now. I don't think this show can put down roots and develop into anything. I think it's very superficial, I think it has this hook of these funny sounding guys. Not necessarily what they say but how they sound particularly fezzy. I think they have this funny sound over the air that does have a hook but it's not enough to sustain it, not enough there, underneath it all they haven't got enough to say.

I don't think Ron and Fez are gonna be a break out show now whether or not that has anything to do with the syndication issue. That may just strictly be due to timing, it may be due to network availability, they moved from middays to evenings (even though evenings I think is a better day part for them, some of you are still saying they still belong in middays. I don't know what you're talking about. That show no more belong in Middays than Rush Limbaugh belongs in overnights it just wouldn't work or Art Bell in Middays. Come on, it's not a mid day show if anything it's an evening show when the kids are home from school listning to some silly radio that's really what's Ron and Fez are best at if you're gonna make an argument for a day part so for sure they don't belong in Middays I don't know what you're thinking about. And WNEW should never have put them there in the first place, they did but they corrected the mistake and put them on at nights but maybe all that moving around in day parts, maybe that may be the reason they fell out of syndication. I'm not gonna speculate cause I really don't know. But I do know that I don't think this show has any legs I don't think it has any long term viability because I don't think there's enough there. I think in the beginning they kind of, there's funny sounding guys on th

I've never seen so much verbage used to express one single point: "I don't think Ron and Fez will be the next big thing." Jesus, he must have said that a thousand times! Did you need to use that much space and that many words to express the same point ad nauseum?

Anyway, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. He seems to have issues with the style of radio that WNEW puts forth. He's probably a closet Scott Shannon fan too.

He does bring up some good points. R&F do a lot of inside humor that the casual listeners wouldn't catch. This is the first time I've heard Sniffen's voice and I think Tom Leykis has some competition.

Did you need to use that much space and that many words to express the same point ad nauseum? Cripes, it wasn't my words. I was just the messenger

As for his voice, I think Wallace Shawn when he gets angry.

No, no, Ikea Boy, when I said "Did you really need to...", I was sort of asking a rhetorical question, aimed at the individual in question, not you.

So, the "you" was him. You were not the "you".

I think Tom Leykis has some competition


My thoughts exactly, and what I said to him in an e-mail.





Here's my friend, he's got no name.

That dentist has waaay too much time on his hands.

I'm afraid some of his points are kinda vaild. The show does depend on this messageboard and inside jokes way too much. You have to listen to the show for a while to figure things out. to the .com days)

Al dukes, he really doesn't do shit for the show. He doesn't do any cool contests or promotions (other than the bar crawl)

And why do we have the Big Ass cards anyway? I thought they lead us to discounts and special events?

Ron and Fez are good, its just it pretty hard to get new listeners to get it. With o&a people can get it quickly. Just ask Cleveland, Philly and Buffalo!

Its cool to use the messageboard with the show, but unless you are internet savvy like we are, you'd be lost.

O&A relied on OA.com in its infancy. The show was entertaining...only if you were on the board. Now that they are syndicated its wise for them not to use something like that for the basis of the show.

Don't get me wrong I love O&A and R&F, its just unfortunatly Allen may be true on some things.

Did you guys hear Ron's reference to Sniffen's rant on the show yesterday? After hearing the promo: "Fez, I don't think we're funny, our voices are just funny."
