Was Fez Asking For Trouble For Making Fun of Roland the Booker Crying?

[Bowel]

Fez threw down the gauntlet on Roland today by giving XM/SIRIUS's talent booker a taste of his own medicine.

Will Roland retaliate or did Roland learn a much needed lesson by realizing that he should have never made fun of Fez crying on the air?

[OGC]

I'll let you know in about 3 weeks when I catch up with the show.

















p.s. please change your avatar pic, it fucking creeps me out.

[Space Edge]

Roland cried once on air
Fez cries once every 10mins on air

I think Roland wins this one.

[weav]

Fez is a millionaire and well established comedian. I'd say he's won any battle with Roland.

The Evil Fez character is funny. Plus, Roland *really* broke today. Fez tears up consistently, but I don't think a sober Fez has ever cried as deeply as Roland did today.

Horse. Shit.

Roland broke under real job stress. Real pressure. Fez fucking locks up OVER GODDAMN BLUEBERRIES.

Roland has provided real content for O&A. Not just the work he does, but on After O&A live and his spot on-air stuff. What has Fez given us? GODDAMN BLUEBERRIES and two hours of "Cookie?"

I am so looking forward to hearing this.
As a listener, I am up for Fez doing anything that gets him back into the habit of contributing on the air.
If he happens to be a hypocrite and mocks Roland, a guy he is afraid of, so be it.
More tears, more talk.

Agree 100%

Fuck Fez. He used to be entertaining, new he is just an annoying prick.
He doesn't want people picking on him for crying but turns around and does it to Roland. I say open the flood gates on the fuck. Maybe then he cracks and goes away and some one who talks and is entertaining can join the show.

I used to be a big Fez fan but he just a selfish fuck. Only thinking of himself and not how he his holdng back everyone else and the show (plus RB interviews and unmasked). People on a channel know for humor and picking on each other shouldn't have to treat anyone on the channel with kid gloves.

Step up or go away

You don't have to make millions per year to be a millionaire.

It's how much you have, not how much you make.

That said, when I heard Roland break down, I first thought he was joking and making fun of Fez.

[Bowel]

Scruffy may not be tomorrow's guest co-host .... Tommy the Zman is in studio recording tomorrow's show.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Here's the most interesting thing.

The "bosses" put pressure on Roland to the point where he's crying about losing his job... in something he has no control over - yet they allow this R&F product to go out every day.

Wow man - can you see that Fez was playing a bit with the Roland crying thing? Geez!

[hurlmon]

haven't even listened yet. he is still shelfish by not walking way even if the Roland thing didn't happen.
if he left a young up and come might get a shot.

Ron wouldn't be held back on the shows and maybe the interview shows flourish and he gets the attention he deserves.

but no Fez stays because he wants to. sure he wants to do radio, but mentally he just can't. There are things i'd like to be but can accept that I don't have the abilities needed. he can't accept that about himself. he was once able, but no more.

and if it is a bit whats the diiference? when o&a poke fun of him in a light hearted way (like they do eveyone else) or just talk about him he can't take it.

he needs to move on.

you didn't hear how funny fez was and how he knew it was hypocritical?
maybe you need to listen to the show first
its shows like that i'm glad fez is still sticking around

[hurlmon]

we'll see but I feel he hurts the show much more than he helps. and it is only getting worse. I can't think of an upswing in him since the downward spiral started in DC.

Hahaha. It makes it even funnier when the rubes don't get the bit!

It was obviously a bit but not a great one for me and then he went back into the shadows.

I think a bit that style works better with the Fez character, not what he is today.

Does the Ron and Fez show have pictures of you with underage Vietnamese boys? I thought Dead fans were loyal but they have nothing on you, Spy.

Everyone acknowledges Fez used to be hilarious, talented but no question he is in a rough patch. Your Fez defense reminds me of Dead fans who argue they actually enjoy Hart/Kreutzman drum wankathons.

I might be going out on a limb here but I don't think you are being a bad fan if you acknowledge the show is in a bad spot. Are you a shit Yankees fan if you criticize Jeter when he isn't playing well?

I understand that you hard core fans know Ron and Fez personally so that is what is keeping you from saying even the most mild critical thing about the show. But there aren't many of you. If the show slips into a "fuck you, you don't like the show, don't listen" attitude, Gvac, Mikeyboy, Disneyspy, and Moe will be the only listeners left.

This used to be a foundation of the RnF show. They used to love pro wrestling, and they wanted to have fake arguments and heels to stir up the rubes. Remember when people would call in with absolute hatred for Al Dukes, but when he left, they all missed him.

I like the show. And I listen to it because 85% of the time its Ron and Pepper Hicks either going back and forth with each other or with whoever else is in studio. Which is great radio.

Its just the other part of the time, when they try to bring Fez into a conversation, ANY conversation, and he sucks the funny out of the room talking about his fears, his crying, or anything to do with faggots.

At least when Dave was there he could poke and prod him and fuck with Fez, making it funny. I think after having to do it mostly by himself since Dave left Ron is just burnt out from even trying anymore.

If todays show was also part of the bit then bravo, because it actually kept me listening while Fez was on.

[Joe Pietaro]

The bit was great and the fact that O&A are replaying it makes it even better. Where does it go on Monday? We shall see...

[phillybear]

Fez is a rare talent. He is the most hated radio personality on air AND off air in history.

While I appreciate his place in history, it does bother me how his tiresome hissy fits keep pushing friends of the show away, along with producers. Fez is masterminding a complete isolation of Ron so that he can have him all to himself. Which explains why he wouldn't admit to Lazlow that he tugs it to Ronnie.

[sailor]

Ok, then.

[twiggy148]

Had to be a bit. Had too! Everything Fez was making fun of Roland for crying over is EXACTLY what Fez cries over and then some. Not really sure what the point of the bit was but had to be a bit.

How could Fez threatening to sue Sirius be anything but a bit? If my co-worker were suggesting that he/she were going to sue my employer and his pursuing the lawsuit would damage my status with the company, I would - seriously - cut off his microphone and set him straight.

Fez's freezing up probably has more to do with handling the production-size of the show than to do with mental illness. They are essentially down to Pepper Hicks and possibly nobody else on a daily basis. Ron (by his own admission) has very little in the way of radio production knowledge. He doesn't edit audio and he doesn't produce bits. If I understand the situation correctly, Fez does know the basics of "running the board," "handling the Delette (sp?)," or "screening calls;" Fez needs to fulfill these roles.

Shortly prior to Dave's departure, Ron suggested (during a conversation with Dave about his value to Sirius/XM when he was seeking a raise) that Dave's production skills were weak to non-existent and that he was lazy when it came to getting to know the suits and promoting himself. It was probably better to have Whatley on the equipment after Earl left than it was to have Dave doing the same task. I don't know if all of this information discussed on the show is true or not, but I am getting more and more convinced that the whole thing is a bit or severely exaggerated.

tl; dr Fez's "craziness" is a bit. Fez has to help Hicks behind the scenes.

No. Because even if its not a bit, the people at Sirius see Ron as an asset. They wouldnt give him all these shows where hes interviewing celebrity after celebrity if they didnt think highly of him. They know the only reason the Ron & Fez Show has a following at all right now is because of him.

1. I may be wrong, but didn't they just renew their contract?

2. The Ron and Fez Show is what has value. My guess is Sirius doesn't want to lose the value of that brand. The work Fez does on the show doesn't matter, the value of Fez is that he is the "and Fez" part of the show. Becuase of this, Fez is an asset and not replacable.

I agree with this. His name is what has value. Not actually the person, because he contributes nothing. Thats kind of my point. Of course the corporate executive way of thinking would be to keep him on for name value even as he lowers that value with each show. Of course something like that would be up to Ron anyway. They arent going to force him to change partners. As long as Ron has no problem with Fez stealing a paycheck week after week Im sure Sirius wont have a problem with it either.

I don't really agree with this. Yes, Fez has not contributed from the standpoint of comedy...or what he used to be known for bringing to the show in quite some time. But the awkwardness, the uncomfortableness, the unpredictability he provides on a daily basis I think is part of the reason we listen. Certainly, enough of us are talking about him on the message boards every day to indicate that we are interested.

Who doesn't stop to watch a trainwreck? That's audience!!!

Yes, he can no longer provide comedic entertainment; but I think its genius the way he can provide the same uncomfortability as Norton and Cumia without resorting to being caustic. Give me Fez crying on the air any day over Anthony...YET AGAIN...calling us "fuckwads."

In fact, to some extent, I find Fez falling apart more entertaining then the quick witted queer he used to play...I just wish there was more of it. And make no mistake, Ronny definitely encourages it. In fact, I think he is torn between a desire to help a long time friend and creating, what will looked upon in the future, as one of the greatest psychological studies of all time.

One day the Fez saga will be alongside Kitty Genovese, Albert Bandura and Stanley Milgrim in Psych textbooks.

It interested me for awhile, mainly because Dave made it funny. But once he left it just got annoying. I think mostly because I drive home from work around 1:45pm and it seemed like around that time every day was when hed break down. Now most of the time I dont even know if hes there or not. I dont give a fuck what the title says its the Ron & Pepper Show right now.

I kinda get that. At times, it gets old...but so does Ronnie replaying his shows with interviews of people noone knows. I think how interesting it is, is largely based on how those around him react.

I do agree that Dave's interaction with Fez took it to a new level. Pepper doesn't have the fire that Dave had. Dave was/is an incredible talent and it's a fucking shame that Serius can't pony up 60K a year to put together the best radio show ever.....CHEAP COCKSUCKERS!!!!!

[Melk]

Ron: Music, music, music, music, music.

Fez: Gay.

Ron: Do you ever talk a about anything else? Like I was saying, top five lists. What is your favorite Rolling Stone songs? I like Paint it Black.

Ron: Nice serious answer.

[fezident]

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.
It seems to me that Ron listens to old(er) music exlusively. He may ENJOY some like Ryan Bingham but.... I don't get the sense that Ron's an active fan. And even then.... I wouldn't call Ryan's music "current". It's a throwback to a different era.

its better than the 80s,my mp3 has way more music from the last 5 years than from that shitty decade

[CountryBob]

I was thinking that a normal show would try to have guests that are popular and offer the broadest range that will appeal to the listener.

It seems that Ron has a lot of guests that satisfy his desires (and mostly small niche or really out of mainstream popularity) and not for the whole audience.

Not saying that this is a bad thing - just an interesting concept that Sirius allows.

Or I could be way off base :huh:

Really? The man is in his 50s and talks about very recent bands quite a bit. He may not fall in love with the newest buzzband, but he definitely ends up sounding like he likes the new music that comes out.

All that being said, his wheelhouse is definitely his earlier years' music. But I think he's far more open to new music than most people his age.

[Melk]

I still don't see a major difference between talking endlessly about music or talking endlessly about comic books. I will grant you that Ron does a better job making music I could care less about sound interesting than Fez does making comic books I wouldn't read on a bet sound interesting. I will give either medium a chance from time to time, but superheroes and pop music are essentially designed for children.

I tire of hearing musicians reply to Ron's questions about the origins of their creativity being outside of themselves and coming from mysterious places. It is just a cop out.

thanks, thought i was going crazy. for my part i am way less open to new music. maybe not less open, but not interested in making the effort i did when i was young. then again, i listen to much less music now across the board.
