Pepp should poop his pants with Jeff Mangum announcing dates with a fully reformed Neutral Milk Hotel. It's kindof strange because the last few years he's been touring all the same songs solo, and now he's going to tour the full band versions. He's essentially playing to the same crowds, too. I wonder how perpetual they can make this.

[LeedsJr]

Ugh.

Turned the channel on a little early only to hear Troy, an intensely annoying person to begin with, spouting 9/11 conspiracy theories. :wallbash: :furious:

[Gutter]

hay buddays.

Yesterdays show was a chore, so you didn't miss much. That was a good song.

Sailor got me thinking about Will Smith vs Tom Cruise, and I will laugh at Tom Cruise but only laugh at people around Will Smith like Rip Torn and Tommy Lee Jones.

and Martin Lawrence, but only a little....and only that one scene in Bad Boys2 where they interrogate the kid who picks up his daughter.

[Dell]

shark!!!

[LeedsJr]

Didn't somebody mention yesterday that they need someone to remind them when they re-do bits?

Haven't they done the Hicks is going to try not to curse thing before?

I think he lasted all of 5 minutes. :laugh:

[realmenhatelife]

I dont remember a lick of either bad boys movie. There's like a hot russian girl, right?

[LeedsJr]

I guess Fez isn't going to talk again today. :sad:

[Lemieux66]

It won't be a big step in having openly gay athletes until it's a young guy who still has a career ahead of him. This is no different than the occasional retired player coming out once he's already out of the game.

I also love how nobody cares that there have been open lesbian pro athletes forever.

[realmenhatelife]

If we dont hear Fez today I'm going to believe he checked back into the hospital on his new shrink's advice.

[Gutter]

I dont remember a lick of either bad boys movie. There's like a hot russian girl, right?

the first one had a very hot Tea (taya) Leoni....the second one will smiths character was hooking up with Gabrielle Union who is also very attractive.

Two things are important there. First, because lesbians started coming out in sports that long ago we dont care as much. Second, lesbians in sports play to lesbian stereotypes while gays in sports play against it.

Also, straight women dont have lesbian rape anxiety like straight men, and straight women arent as neurotic about being accused of lesbianism.

These Fez live reads don't sound live.

and since being gay = feminine attributes, which are considered negative and make a person less than, no one wants their sports heroes to possibly be gay :dry: the thought of that really pisses me off, since it implies that women are less than

[LeedsJr]

Ron has done the same ironing joke before and after the release of every Iron Man movie.

Just heard the Fez live read. I agree, that sounded like a recording.

They hit on it a little bit sometimes but not in the smartest way, that anti gay stuff is in large part anti women stuff. Having gay athletes will help that more than most things because it combats the stereotype.




The amazing story about Barton Fink is they took a break from writing Millers Crossing to write Barton Fink, which explores their own writers block.

[realmenhatelife]

I also just realized that Anthony is dating an 18 year old and if he gets popped for giving liqour to a minor he'd lose all of his gun permits, right? Plus the paper would pick it up. So that's probably why.

[Gutter]

are we talking about full on rapeity rape rape again?!?!?!?!

i know. usually when i bring that up i get, "stop trying to make about teh wimmenz, feminazi! what about teh menz!" :down:

[Misteriosa]

or just the ones who "rape easy" :furious: (i was sooo angry when i read that in the paper)

[LeedsJr]

Please don't bring Popcorn in. Without Fez there to get riled up, he serves no purpose.

[realmenhatelife]

i know. usually when i bring that up i get, "stop trying to make about teh wimmenz, feminazi! what about teh menz!" :down:

Seriously feminazi, it's Himler not Hermler!

[Lemieux66]

There's no way Fez has been in studio this week.

[Gutter]

or just the ones who "rape easy" :furious: (i was sooo angry when i read that in the paper)

jeezus...what paper was that in?

[LeedsJr]

There's no way Fez has been in studio this week.

And Ron sounds like he really doesn't want to be.

[realmenhatelife]

Fez is either in the nut hut or he had to go with Matty Ice for whatever they were going to send him on. I forget what it was but I remember it was sports related.

[Dell]

Seriously feminazi, it's Himler not Hermler!

:laugh:

such a cheep laugh...but a laugh, none the less

[hanso]

Ron has done the same ironing joke before and after the release of every Iron Man movie.

Is he typing away on the ibang?

[LeedsJr]

Someone tell Ron to take the mic out of his nose.

You're welcome. And there's your NMH talk.

[MonkeyBall]

There's no way Fez has been in studio this week.

Hey-what's up with Fez? I don't post on here much, but has Ron mentioned anything?

And was yesterday about the worst show in years? Thanks for any info.

By the way Ron was snarky with that caller just now and said "that last one sounded like an actual live read" i guess Fez is out.

[Dell]

Someone tell Ron to take the mic out of his nose.

goddamn made up problems with you people...just enjoy the out-of-breath delivery of Hicks and be HAPPY!

[realmenhatelife]

Theyll do more than 5 dates, they'll probably tour through next year.

[MonkeyBall]

Someone tell Ron to take the mic out of his nose.

And to cut down on the giant gulps of water. That and Hicks' non stop typing...

DelV...heading for our annual trip to your area Monday

I'll PM my cell...give me a call and we'll hook up one night at the clubs

[LeedsJr]

It is oddly compelling that they refuse to acknowledge that Fez isn't there.

sounds good!

[Misteriosa]

ive been wondering about that. these "live reads" are clearly taped. what the hell is going on?

[realmenhatelife]

It is oddly compelling that they refuse to acknowledge that Fez isn't there.

Normally I'd find that a little troubling, like uh oh it may be bad if they're not going to talk about it, but he obviously recorded all of his promos so atleast you know it wasn't an emergency. That's why I'm thinking nut hut.

[Chigworthy]

"and if you're a man who doesn't shave then you are probably ZZ Top."

[sailor]

ive been wondering about that. these "live reads" are clearly taped. what the hell is going on?

And I think someone pointed out he didn't weigh in on the Jason Collins story; no way he's there and didn't join that discussion.

[sailor]

What's with the subway story?

[LeedsJr]

Kep up? :happy:

[Gutter]

Don't need to hear it.....saving Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains. thats it.

[Misteriosa]

Don't need to hear it.....saving Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains. thats it.

yeah.. i think im gonna have to co-sign that.

and korn showing up on classic rock is just insane.

[sailor]

yeah.. i think im gonna have to co-sign that.

and korn showing up on classic rock is just insane.

Is korn the fourth choice? I'd save them over soundgarden.

[realmenhatelife]

Mudhoney, Melvins

And are we counting Seattle as literally Seattle or as the Pacific Northwest? Because if it's the entire Pacific Northwest Beat Happening, Sleater Kinney, Bikini Kill, Dead Moon

[LeedsJr]

Is korn the fourth choice? I'd save them over soundgarden.

Pearl Jam is the fourth choice, and I'd save them over Soundgarden.

[Gutter]

yeah.. i think im gonna have to co-sign that.

and korn showing up on classic rock is just insane.

its crazy.

and Pearl Jam is out because all of their songs are the same....you can take any Pearl Jam song lyrics and replace it with the phrase, "Rappa-fram". Swear to god it works every time, and when my cousin told me this, it ruined Pearl Jam for me.

try it...

rappa-rappa....rappa fram. raaaaapaaa fraaaaaaaaammmmm.

I bet you all know what pearl jam song that is already.

[Misteriosa]

Is korn the fourth choice? I'd save them over soundgarden.

no. pearl jam is the 4th choice.

[Chigworthy]

Don't need to hear it.....saving Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains. thats it.

I would love to see Eddie Vedder sinking beneath the waves, a diminishing trail of bubbles marking his path to oblivion.

[Misteriosa]

its crazy.

and Pearl Jam is out because all of their songs are the same....you can take any Pearl Jam song lyrics and replace it with the phrase, "Rappa-fram". Swear to god it works every time, and when my cousin told me this, it ruined Pearl Jam for me.

try it...

rappa-rappa....rappa fram. raaaaapaaa fraaaaaaaaammmmm.

I bet you all know what pearl jam song that is already.

haaaa! i hear pearl jam songs as "hrrrrrrrmmmmm frrmmmmmmmmmm, yeah.. uhhmmrrmmm"

"rappa fram" is like "watermelon" when you dont know the words to a song :laugh:

[Gutter]

haaaa! i hear pearl jam songs as "hrrrrrrrmmmmm frrmmmmmmmmmm, yeah.. uhhmmrrmmm"

totally....but plug in "rappa fram" during a pearl jam song. It'll blow your fucking mind. it so weird.

[sailor]

Pearl Jam is the fourth choice, and I'd save them over Soundgarden.

Absolutely.

[deliciousV]

Pearl Jam is the fourth choice, and I'd save them over Soundgarden.

Yeah I throw out SG too, just the song Black saves Pearl Jam for me.

[Misteriosa]

caller: " i havent heard a pearl jam song ive liked since they covered a 1950s love song"

rappa, rappa, fram rappa fram fram? :lol:

[sailor]

caller: " i havent heard a pearl jam song ive liked since they covered a 1950s love song"

Couldn't you do that silliness with any song by any artist?

[Misteriosa]

Couldn't you do that silliness with any song by any artist?

hey! take that up with gutter. he made it up.

[Chigworthy]

Wow this guy is really unearthing the secret history of Pearl Jam..

[Gutter]

Couldn't you do that silliness with any song by any artist?

hey! take that up with gutter. he made it up.

I suppose you could, but it just works so fucking well with Pearl Jam....the sound you make when you say rappa-fram it automatically gives you eddie vedder singing voice, so its really quite perfect.

[LeedsJr]

Couldn't you do that silliness with any song by any artist?

Yes, it's called humming along if you don't know the words. I have no idea what it has to do with Pearl Jam.

[Misteriosa]

satan's wizaaaaaarrrd!!! :laugh:

[realmenhatelife]

Ha, Pearl Jam fans hate Nirvana.

[LeedsJr]

Ha, Pearl Jam fans hate Nirvana.

I like both bands.

[Lemieux66]

I love all 4 bands and I shan't participate in this silliness. Good day.

[realmenhatelife]

I like both bands.

I think some of them are holding onto the Kurt vs Eddie feud from back in the day.

[Misteriosa]

i prefer soundgarden over pearl jam.

[LeedsJr]

I think some of them are holding onto the Kurt vs Eddie feud from back in the day.

Probably. And I don't even think it was between them. I think Kurt disliked the band, not Eddie personally.

[Warren Peace]

Shouldn't it be between Pearl Jam and Soundgarden? Matt Cameron is the drummer for both bands.

[realmenhatelife]

Probably. And I don't even think it was between them. I think Kurt disliked the band, not Eddie personally.

I think trying to figure out why two 20 year olds without real jobs hate eachother is like trying to figure out who started it, your dog or your cat?

[Gutter]

i prefer soundgarden over pearl jam.

agreed.....that Superunknown album was just on constant rotation back in the day.

[LeedsJr]

I think trying to figure out why two 20 year olds without real jobs hate eachother is like trying to figure out who started it, your dog or your cat?

HA! :laugh:

I wasn't trying to figure it out, though. I think I heard Kurt say that in an interview back then.

[Warren Peace]

Caller just proved that Fez isn't in the studio

It is wine. And this will probably make it worse still, but he always has those things on stage.
I think the notebook is for the setlists.

Oh my goodness.

[Misteriosa]

agreed.....that Superunknown album was just on constant rotation back in the day.

this. there were so many awesome songs on that album.

[Gutter]

this. there were so many awesome songs on that album.

yup....Day I tried to live, my wave, fell on black days, spoonman, like suicide, kick stand, Black hole sun, head down

good lord....what a great fucking album.

I believe he's a vintner.

It's no ten.

It doesn't matter if he invented wine, he' s still a total quay for posing with those items.

Fez actually IS in studio this week... just in no way part of the show.

He's not Dionysus, silly pants.

[LeedsJr]

Fez actually IS in studio this week... just in no way part of the show.

I'm still not sure.

And even if he is, I still think the live reads are actually recorded.

[LeedsJr]

If Fez really is there, how is he not jumping into this conversation?

And this caller sucks. As does Matty Ice.

[deliciousV]

I'm still not sure.

And even if he is, I still think the live reads are actually recorded.

Well now you're just being stubborn, and a Live read, by definition, cannot be prerecorded.

[Warren Peace]

If Fez really is there, how is he not jumping into this conversation?

And this caller sucks. As does Matty Ice.

agreed and even the questions that Ron asked Fez were snowball questions that easily could have been pre-recorded.

[Recyclerz]

agreed and even the questions that Ron asked Fez were snowball questions that easily could have been pre-recorded.

Soundboard Fez is much more entertaining than our current iteration

[LeedsJr]

Well now you're just being stubborn, and a Live read, by definition, cannot be prerecorded.

I was going to put live in quotes, but I am quite lazy.

[LeedsJr]

Soundboard Fez is much more entertaining than our current iteration

I miss funny Soundboard Fez. He was better than live read Soundboard Fez.

[Gutter]

I don't think movies are getting that much longer, I think people are getting more impatient.

[Recyclerz]

I miss funny Soundboard Fez. He was better than live read Soundboard Fez.

We all do, Leeds, we all do. :sad:

Not too shabby a point.

Maybe, but he took forever to get it acrost. :tongue:

[Gutter]

Maybe, but he took forever to get it acrost. :tongue:

ha!

[LeedsJr]

No Ron. No one shakes off a kick in the balls. You may shake off a kick in the groin, but not the balls. The "exact right spot" you're talking about is the balls.

[LeedsJr]

And yeah, there was just an article in the NY Daily News about a woman in China on trial for murder because she kicked a guy in the balls and he died from the shock of it.

[MonkeyBall]

He's there. The Git is in the studio.

[Gutter]

wait, so fez is there? :unsure:

[sailor]

Albanians make all the pizza in NYC.

[MonkeyBall]

wait, so fez is there?

I don't know. Just when I came to the conclusion the "live" reads were taped, he just sounded like he responded to Ron about that interview.

[realmenhatelife]

Our grandparents did say there were jobs they wouldn't put up with, that's where unions came from. They thought their treatment and pay was beneath them, and they'd rather be unemployed than put up with it.

[LeedsJr]

I don't know. Just when I came to the conclusion the "live" reads were taped, he just sounded like he responded to Ron about that interview.

Still not convinced.

[Misteriosa]

Just heard fezzie on mobile mode. And I don't know how childbirth isn't winning this poll by a landslide.

[Misteriosa]

Still not convinced.

Idk.. it seemed like he was interacting that last live read.

[sailor]

Is Ron quoting Caddyshack without the humor? Also known as quoting Caddyshack.

[LeedsJr]

Just heard fezzie on mobile mode. And I don't know how childbirth isn't winning this poll by a landslide.

Because you've never been kicked in the balls. :tongue:

[Misteriosa]

And yeah, there was just an article in the NY Daily News about a woman in China on trial for murder because she kicked a guy in the balls and he died from the shock of it.
one time in a million a guy dies from a kick in the balls. Countless women die in childbirth daily worldwide. Childbirth wins.

[sailor]

one time in a million a guy dies from a kick in the balls. Countless women die in childbirth daily worldwide. Childbirth wins.

I bet you could count them.

[LeedsJr]

You call that winning?? :blink:

Just heard this, and I have no idea what he's talking about, either. :huh:

I can't. My lunch break is almost over. :o

Ha

You would think someone laboring that hard to breathe when they're just sitting there talking would think about making some lifestyle changes.

Made up shit. It's nothing a pack of Marlboros or a Cohiba can't fix.

Speaking of which, it sounds like Ron has one in his teeth about half the time in the last ten minutes or so.

I was wondering the same thing. I missed a good bit of the show yesterday so I thought maybe I missed something. Was Fez actually being a part of the show yesterday? Oh, by that I mean actually saying something other than just doing the live reads. He hasn't actually been a part of the show in a long time.

Nope. Exact same thing as today.

[LeedsJr]

I have a good liquor store story.

My wife and I both like to drink. We both go to a neighborhood liquor store for our faves - beer and bourbon for me, red wine and rye for her.

Most of the time, we go seperately, because we're always running in different directions because of our kids.

The first time we went in together, the look on the cashier's face was priceless. You could almost hear him think, "Holy shit, all of this is going to the same house?!?"

Most of the time, we go seperately, because we're always running in different directions because of our kids.

The first time we went in together, the look on the cashier's face was priceless. You could almost hear him think, "Holy shit, all of this is going to the same house?!?"

and then what happened?

and then what happened?

No "and then?"!

I was wondering the same thing. I missed a good bit of the show yesterday so I thought maybe I missed something. Was Fez actually being a part of the show yesterday? Oh, by that I mean actually saying something other than just doing the live reads. He hasn't actually been a part of the show in a long time.

I think he was referring to last weeks meltdown, when Fez lost his shit at Popcorn, since then he's had a docile Friday show, and been an announcer since.

I pick up our booze, usually a 2 week supply from the Sams club liquor store, the wife enjoys the Beam, I drink the Evan Williams. It is an impressive amount that I roll out of there with.

Just heard this, and I have no idea what he's talking about, either.

Earlier this week, Ron got Fez talking about his therapy this week. The therapist has been convincing Fez that he spends all his time attacking his mom, in the form of other people, or acting like his Mom. So Ron asked why Fez attacks the callers, and he said that they attack him, like his mother did.

Then Ron asked Fez why he had been attacking Popcorn. And before Fez could put together an answer, Ron asked, "Do you think he's your Mother? You were attacking his mother for real. " And that really took the wind out of Fez' sails. He agreed he owes Popcorn an apology which is something I've never heard him say about Mikey D, Zito, anybody.

Don't get me wrong at all , I am not complaining,
If the short term future of fez is announcing only, and most part of the show is Ron and Pepper, I am very happy.
I do not want Ron to try to pull Fez in at all.
If he wants to contribute fine, but I believe Fez wants to just sit there 4 hours and collect a monumental check.
Ron just doesn't want to break the brand of ron and fez.
But if we get less Fez, we all benefit, its what fez reallys wants.

I agree in principle, but I admit somewhere over years of hoping to see Fez heal, I started to really dislike him. Especially lately, where he never interacts with callers and attacks the interns. He sounds amazingly mean and unlikable. So I've become one of those rubes who can't stand Fez for collecting a huge paycheck to do nothing. And I'd kind of like to see something happen the way we all have that co-worker who doesn't pull his wait but never pays a price.

I'm also stunned by how clearly Ron expresses his frustration and Fez never picks up on it. If they'd deal with some of this on the air it would be entertaining.

@monekyball you raise a good issue. The real issue is not Fez, its Ron.
Ron signs a contract with Fez and splits the proceeds, Why?
Its insane, I can only assume they pay ron enough money he could care less what fez does.
He shows up at 11am leaves at 3pm, does the same thing he likes, talks about what he likes.

I know Ron Diaz quit on Ron bennington and my opinion, I have no facts to back this up, is why ron bennington is so loyal to fez.

No one has ever heard of ron diaz ever again and Ron bennington makes millions and meets his child hood heros on a daily basis.

Kinda sad to be a long term listener but come on, eventually everyone has to do what's right.

Listening back, doesn't Ron always say you only complain about movies being too long if you didn't like them in the first place?

I havent heard Ron say that, but I have heard people do the opposite all the time lately.

they say shit like, "Good movie, but it ran about 15 mins too long". Really? that extra 15 mins you barely notice pass by was just too much? I never understand why ppl say that about movies.

My problem with this is I don't think I'm a fan of The Ron Bennington Show.

Sometimes, it's funny and I enjoy it.

Sometimes, it's a boring interview-fest or 4 hours of disgusting noises made directly into the mic.

I realize - and am saddened by the realization - that the show I became a fan of is gone forever. I continue to listen mostly for the occasional fleeting glimpses of what once was.

This is what really kills me. If Ron would ever drawl(:tongue:) the line and euthanize this zombie show and move on to the Ron and East Side Dave/UCB Fred/Kokomo Joe/any combination of these Show, I'd love it.

But not only are you maybe right about Ron refusing to quit because of what happened with Diaz, I also don't think he really wants to do that show. He wants to do Ron Bennington Interviews and Unmast, which I don't find entertaining at all.

[LeedsJr]

No "and then?"!

THAANK YOU!!!

Sailor, if you mean, why listen to the show and then complain, it's a good question. I'm not sure why i still listen. Yesterday, with no Fez, Hicks babbling and people eating on the air during the end of the show, I did give up. Ad today I checked in here to see if others are frustrated. I loved the show for a long time. And I tune in kind of stunned to hear it rattle along in pieces. And I can't believe Whatley gets worse.

Also, O&A complain about Sirius-XM in general. The idea that this company lets Fez continue and more important, Hicks fill his role for peanuts, is weird. Or that O&A and Ron and Fez, two proud shows that once owned WNEW, could never compete on terrestrial radio now is sad. That last part is just my opinion.

Jimmyolsenblues' idea of Ron never bailing on Fez like Diaz did on him is one of the best theories I've heard.

Oh, one last thing. The funny thing is Ron seems to have spent the last two years dropping hints to Fez that it's time to split. Like Fez will pull the trigger and do the right think by retiring. Whatley just doesn't get it. Or is sooo afraid that his career is over if he and Ronnie split up, he locks up.

No, actually much more literal. They were talking about movies in general getting too long (as well as specific examples as well). Ron has always said he doesn't have a problem with long movies and you only have a problem with it if you didn't actually like it to begin with.

I miss Fez

Haha! Sorry sailor. Not that I thought it was anything but a good question. But it didn't need that long reply:wink:
