moaning buddays...:bye:

I'm giddy with excitement...the much awaited Fez v Rustin faceoff...


edit: wonder if that was one of their openers...I'm liking it...

[Manning, Esq.]

Morning my Good, Bad, & Ugly Buddays!

[TEKOA]

good morning all. :smile:

[CountryBob]

Mornin all - was on vacation and havent listened in 12 days. It's good to be back in the saddle:thumbup:

[Baby DEW Year]

Punt it.

I think you spelled it wrong!

[Willmore]

Rah Rah Shish Boom Bah sounds like a Jewish holiday.

[Dell]

my oldest daughter and her friends will be there to watch the ball drop this year...counting on my tri-state buddays to keep them safe...be diligent, very diligent...

[Baby DEW Year]

nevermind

Morning All!

Wish I could stay :sad:

If you tell me what they look like, I'll be sure to be there, rent a motel room, maybe buy some scented candles ... duck tape ... some chloroform ... you know, the bare necessities.

[Manning, Esq.]

The [more] ethical approach would be to inform the consumer that the product you're delivering is a lip-synch deal. If, then, you have 10% of the ticket sales, back off of your original, over-inflated estimates--likely sold by marketing savvy whizzes--and hold the event in a small venue.

Or, hang it up, already!

[Willmore]

By the way, The Event dropped 17% in the demo yesterday, compared to last week and 35% compared to the premiere.

[Gutter]

they get my ratings when i watch on Hulu.

[realmenhatelife]

I disagree with Ron's take. If a band plays a cover it's to be fun, and maybe keep the band enthused or pay tribute to their own tastes. Now these are the bands I go see in small clubs, so it isn't giant tours. I do agree that if you're bitching about the band playing new stuff you aren't too into that band.

[Furtherman]

By the way, The Event dropped 17% in the demo yesterday, compared to last week and 35% compared to the premiere.

Still a small percentage drop compared to most shows. It's doing well in its third week.

they get my ratings when i watch on Hulu.

No they don't.

[Willmore]

they get my ratings when i watch on Hulu.

They don't get my ratings because:

a. I don't watch the show.
b. The shows I do watch, I pirate, because I hate the ads and like 720p video.

[sailor]

It's not a nostalgia thing, it's playing songs you like. That's why covers are fun too. Wait, now Ron is in favor of the covers.

[Willmore]

Still a small percentage drop compared to most shows. It's doing well in its third week.



Compared to what? They have a 2.4 18-49 rating. For a big budget show, that's trouble territory, especially considering they were the tent-pole of NBC marketing this season. They are the #3 show in the time slot, and while that's smooth sailing for the usually last-place NBC, it's not good. The numbers actually compare to those of Flashforward, which doesn't bode well. If they atrophy to under 2.0, they are done for.

[CountryBob]

Did Fez have any more stints added?

[Gutter]

Still a small percentage drop compared to most shows. It's doing well in its third week.



No they don't.

well hey, there is precious little space on my dvr and i can't just go deleting things all willy nilly.

[Dell]

I'm starting to get the impression that Ronnie doesn't like the self-contained comedy bits...or is his frustration a ruse...or is the whole bit a ruse...:wacko:

[Donnie Iris]

Does the show stream online anywhere like it used to with disney or rhino?

[Willmore]

Did Fez have any more stints added?

Well, his stints on the show have taken a hit, so they probably removed some.

[Dell]

Did Fez have any more stints added?

no new stints (or stents)...but he did add the self-contained comedy bits...

welcome back...

[DOHO@HOME]

God damit Fez is really pissing me off lately enough with your fucking freezing up bullshit.
Could you go to work and tell your boss or people you work with um ah um I can't do my job due to freezing up whatever bullshit and get away with it.
Enough fuckin get it together and fucking push on!:wallbash::furious:

A stint is a period in which one does something. A STENT is a device used to keep tubes open.

Don't take it out on him, he's a little bit country.

[realmenhatelife]

Yeah, I think he just got caught up trying to make definitive points. Because obviously noone grumbles and goes to the bathroom when a band starts playing an old song, and a band isn't going to ever only play music from their most recent two albums. People just need to relax when a band doesn't play an entire set of their first two albums.

And no it isn't the consumer, its industry greed. They know they can charge more, and play bigger venues if the set list is like a greatest hits record. The myth is that most people are music fans- most people are into music very casually and its up to the performer to give them a deeper experiance than they would create for themselves.

hahahahahahaha good god, he's aching!!!!!

how's it feel to want huh Tiger?

And a little bit Rock and Roll too....

If they atrophy to under 2.0, they are done for.

Last night's show may have earned a 2.4 rating, but is still a smaller percentage drop than the second week had vs. the premiere. It still has a good average and once the commercial ratings are available next week (which is the currency in ad sales), NBC might find it with even better ratings.

well hey, there is precious little space on my dvr and i can't just go deleting things all willy nilly.

You're not a Nielsen viewer, it doesn't matter what you watch, it doesn't count to towards the ratings.

Thank you. I don't ask for much.

[foodcourtdruide]

I can maintain much better on pot than booze. The other night I drank half a bottle of gin with a friend and I ended up laying on the floor and asking her to make the room stop spinning.

[epo]

Let me ask you something ski....

Gold

[Manning, Esq.]

In every setting, with every strata of intelligent being, no matter the "hybrid/strain," bud is going to have a lesser physiological and psychological impact than a pro-rated amount of alcohol. This is one principle that cannot be reasonably denied.

[Furtherman]

"I think there's a huge difference." :lol:

[realmenhatelife]

Most annoying callers:

Pro-pot smokers?
Pro-truckers?
Pro-cops?

Yeah pro pot guys are terrible. Slow down pot prohibitionist conspiracy guy, most pot heads are not Michael Phelps and Tim Lincecum, so it isn't going to work for anyone to tell little kids to smoke up and pursue their dreams.

[Baby DEW Year]

Chefs, mafia dudes, and former producers????

This guy was great in the room.

Lol, yeah. As if what's preventing us from becoming Tim Lincecum are the unfair pot laws.

[Dell]

This guy was great in the room.

what guy...what room...

[realmenhatelife]

Lol, yeah. As if what's preventing us from becoming Tim Lincecum are the unfair pot laws.

I garuntee Lincecum and Phelps started training way before they started smoking pot.

[Manning, Esq.]

The obvious irony is that in the years-long wake of Whatley's withdrawal from audibly contributing to RF, our man, The Midnight Rider, ____ ________, came up to the plate but was stymied by The Man when he tried to rise up to on-air talent status (= $$$). Now, Self-contained Todd is clearly playing the part of producer (yet, not to the extent as ____ ________), but bringing in the Big Bucks, as any genuine on-air talent should. And, that observation comes from a guy who’s listened to the radio a whole lot.

[Furtherman]

I've never seen Smallville, but did that caller just say they don't use the word kryptonite?

[Furtherman]

Dummy.

The Nathan Fillion one was a fan made trailer. Obviously fan made.

[foodcourtdruide]

These comicbook movies are never exceptionally good. The only one that was really good was Dark Knight and that was solely because of Heath Ledger. The Superman movie will be fun at best, unless Brad Pitt plays Superman then dies before it's released.

[foodcourtdruide]

Caller makes a good point. No reason to do an origin story.

[Dell]

I have meetings starting at 1:00...I hope they do the Fez v Rustin opener challenge before then...or was this whole opener thing just a big tease to keep me listening...sometime I feel like Rube...

[realmenhatelife]

Big E really should be up for caller of the year, guy always cracks me up.

[foodcourtdruide]

I just don't want to see another Superman Origin film on Earth. I like Fez's idea of the history on the other planet. I have absolutely no interest in another story about ma and pa kent story.

[sailor]

what guy...what room...

The Polish guy sounds like the main character from the room.

[foodcourtdruide]

Oh no, Fez is starting his adversarial relationship with Rustin as he has with ANYONE that competes for Ron's attention.

[sailor]

They should use Cory Doctorow's super-man.

[Misteriosa]

hey buddays :o

just tuned in. fezzie's starting with rustin now?

[Willmore]

Rustin's opener captured the Fez depression and Ronnie coolness perfectly.

[sailor]

Rustin taking big fez shots there.

[foodcourtdruide]

Rustin's was way too long. Fez looked like he had the beginning of something, but I thought the song pick was off and I also found his movie clips hard to hear.

Here's a crazy idea, they should work together.

[Liverspot]

Does the show stream online anywhere like it used to with disney or rhino?

xm kaput for now, any help?

[Misteriosa]

thats odd.. ive been doing the online trials for the past few weeks and ive had ZERO issues with the xmro (not trying to jinx myself) it seems that paying for it is where the problems arise... :blink:

[Misteriosa]

fezzie uses clips from hedwig and the angry inch and then finishes off with a queen song...

JUST COME OUT ALREADY, FEZ!!!

[foodcourtdruide]

Rustin's should be shorter. I like how he presents Ron as cool/hilarious and Fez as unstable and unpredictable. Just cut it down about 45 seconds and it's good.

[Manning, Esq.]

Rustin. Easy. Big Cat couldn't come through because he was too busy with production work? C'mon.

The last Fez quote, "Get the Fuck Outta Here!!" was brilliant; one of the best Fez-downs ever.

[A.J.]

fezzie uses clips from hedwig and the angry inch and then finishes off with a queen song...

JUST COME OUT ALREADY, FEZ!!!

That actually might be brilliant: Fez "unknowingly" dropping gay references.

[Willmore]

Ron is now just fucking with Fez. :lol:

[Manning, Esq.]

Is this Susannah Gora? Haven't read the book, but I have a note to pass along if it's her:

Dear Susannah,

For my sake, please don't visit Amazon's "Customer Reviews."

Thoughts & Prayers,
Your Ego

[Misteriosa]

now i have to look this up.. lmao

[CountryBob]

I should be finding this interview interesting but for some reason ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[Manning, Esq.]

I think I just heard her suggest that Hughes made Molly mix tapes. Ew.

I wonder whether his ancestors were some whose names were muddled at Liberty Island: Harrghis into Hughes . . . ?

[Manning, Esq.]

I should be finding this interview interesting but for some reason ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Agreed, and I think the reason surrounds Ah-Zzzzzzzzzzz.

[Furtherman]

Oh come on... Long Duck Dong is hilarious.

[Manning, Esq.]

Here’s my call-in wish list for the “author;”

1. Andre, from Grenoble, France.
2. Steve from Yellowstone.
3. Jan.
4. Ira.

BTW, the word, author, is in quotes based on the myriad sources for Gora’s book: Seventeen, People, etc. And, her bit on Today when she foretold of Legally Blonde Two . . . .

[foodcourtdruide]

I've just never been into John Hughes films. Ron seems to have an affection for them, which I understand. I think it's a generational thing. I feel like all John Hughes films are the same slightly entertaining movie, except when he worked with John Candy.

[Gutter]

this was much more interesting when i watched the documentary on IFC called "Don't You Forget About Me"

as for my favorite, i can't choose between Uncle Buck, Christmas Vacation, and The Great Outdoors.

[Manning, Esq.]

CLINK!!

The sound of aluminum water-bat on softball heard as Caller asks Fakey whether she included any music issues in her tome.

Really, Ron? This guest, by the way, seems perfectly suited for Tappy's involvement. What, is he scared of interviews or sumthin'?

[foodcourtdruide]

I loved Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Uncle Buck was great too.

[Furtherman]

Jon Cryer will make more money than anyone in the brat pack with his Two And A Half Men syndication deal. Ducky wins.

[epo]

I really find John Hughes movies to be grossly overrated. If Breakfast Club aint' the biggest pile of horseshit...

[CountryBob]

Why didnt she ever get to interview Hughes?

[Gutter]

I loved Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Uncle Buck was great too.

3 of the funniest scenes in comedy film history are found back to back to back in Uncle Buck.

The hatchet scene with the niece's boyfriend Bug "....take a slice off the ol knee cap", is followed by the scene at the principals office, "here's a quarter, go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face", is followed by the scene with the drunk clown, "get back in your mouse, and get the hell outta here". brilliant stuff.

[Furtherman]

Why didnt she ever get to interview Hughes?

She wasn't cool enough.

[Baby DEW Year]

Why didnt she ever get to interview Hughes?

Opie had to leave right after his show.

[Manning, Esq.]

Ichiban - - -

That means, "Number One."

Ron & FeZ listeners today were surprised and pleased to hear Fez's contribution during a guest interview.

"And eating pancreas." Classic.

[A.J.]

I really find John Hughes movies to be grossly overrated. If Breakfast Club aint' the biggest pile of horseshit...

I like it -- but I hate the ending with the group crying and the cliched mismatched hookups.

[Gutter]

Why didnt she ever get to interview Hughes?

he was extremely reclusive and didn't like talking to journalists and then he died.

[Willmore]

Was this interview really worth almost an hour? I've tuned out for most of it, only to tune back in and still find it in progress.

i don't get it either, but there's so many people that love them I understand the fascination

[A.J.]

It's cliche in any year. I hate when TV shows and movies pull that crap.

[Furtherman]

I like it -- but I hate the ending with the group crying and the cliched mismatched hookups.

was that cliche in 1985?

Sure was. Opposites attract has been cliched since 1885.

The only thing The Breakfast Club needed was to show monday morning, where they'd pass each other in the hall and ignore each other.

[Manning, Esq.]

Favorite Hughes character? Easy: Ed Rooney. Now, there's an educator who really loved and cared for the kids.

[CountryBob]

I just laughed out loud when Fez said he is not an easy cry!

[epo]

The Muppet Movie is the answer to the question.

[Zorro]

Holy shit how long is this interview?

[Gutter]

was just reading through quotes in Uncle Buck.....this is still one of the funniest lines of all time for me:


[at a meeting with the assistant principal, who's got a big unsightly growth on her face]

Anita: I'm Anita Hoargarth.

Buck Russell: [Staring at it] I'm Buck Melanoma. Moley Russell's wart. Not her wart. Not her wart! I'm... I'm the wart. She's my tumor. My... my growth. My... uh, my pimple. I'm Uncle Wart. Just old Buck "Wart" Russell. That's what they call me, or Melanoma Head. They'll call me that. "Melanoma Head's coming." I'm s... uncle! Maisy Russell's uncle!

[Furtherman]

I was going to mention that - Alan Ruck had to be in his late 20's when he did that movie, because now he looks around 50.

[Sue_Bender]

Is this kindergarten teacher being paid by Hughes' estate?



She can't say ONE negative or "critical" thing about the man.

[Manning, Esq.]

Could it be that Tyler, Cameron, and Todd Hilliard are one and the same?! That just blew my mind, man. Check it - When Fez was just talking about getting involved in the interview, he slipped and said he just wanted to "accomplice" something rather than "accomplish."

Whoa.

I had to watch it in my freshman year health class.
