That's awesome! Looks like he's always wearing a brimless hat.

[LeedsJr]

Buddays.

God. Damn. It. Fucking Barca.

Oh well, it's Friday. :drunk:

I always look like I'm wearing white socks...my daughter said that she would never golf or play tennis because she didn't want "that kind" of tan lines :laugh:

Very nice! In the summer, I have permanent flip-flops, but it fades in the winter. Granted, I have very little melanin in my skin, but I work with what I have.

[realmenhatelife]

Getting a foot sunburn is the worst. And the tops of your ears.

Another reason hideous feet should always be covered.

top of my ears must have toughened over the years...however, my feet have not seen sunshine in so long that I'm sure they would burn really really badly

[jennysmurf]

It is bad. I got just a shin sunburn once on the beach. I had my feet buried in the sand, and was wearing shorts, so just my shins got blistered. Not cool. Whenever I wore pants, it felt like I could bake biscuits on my shins.

[jennysmurf]

I have lovely feet. I could probably be a foot model.

Yeah I only expose my feet in the house. Thats what makes it so bad, I'm always initally confused why my fucking feet hurt. Then I remember I was working outside in flip flops for soem reason.

Euphemism queen.

Foot fetish model is a thing. Revenue stream.

[PapaBear]

I could probably be a foot model.
Most models are MUCH taller than that.

Actually I kinda get it. Not like enough to jack to, but I'm no hater.

:laugh:

Don't encourage him.

[Dell]

am I wrong...or was Ron of the opposite opinion when it came to Lebron James?

[jennysmurf]

I'm not even listening, even though I have the player on. When they go too "sportsy" I tune it out....wait a minute....Nature Boy!

[PapaBear]

Don't encourage him.
What do you think all the slapping does? :happy:

[LeedsJr]

What's his opinion today?

I refuse to listen when Barca's on.

[hanso]

pepper says go cults... let's hear it for the manson family.

[realmenhatelife]

Uh huh, he knows an awful lot about it, doesn't he? An awful lot....

Hey, maybe if you didn't need to take a sweaty foot hike before you jump into bed dudes with pay more attention to your tootsies.

[Warren Peace]

Nature Boy needs to spend some time on the treadmill...he sounds like he's going to collapse

[Misteriosa]

hey buddays :o

ive been with the phone with the remote tech support guy for what seemed like forever. finally, my computer, as old as she is, has some programs that are up to date.

[hanso]

unmast coming up? ugh.

[LeedsJr]

Nature Boy needs to spend some time on the treadmill...he sounds like he's going to collapse


Damn it. I tuned back in too late and missed the Nature Boy. (Whoo!)

And for fuck's sake, they've cut the show down to 3 hours, have a whole channel to themselves, and are STILL going to leave early on Fridays?? Lazy fucks.

That's all I can stand, cuz I can't stands no more! Off to the pub! :drunk:

[jennysmurf]

[realmenhatelife]

I strongly dislike Jimmy Fallon. What unmast are they playing today?

[realmenhatelife]

Ron is going to beat up on shelby for being a young comic for his whole time there.

[deliciousV]

they're not playing an Unmasked today, they announced the next one.

[Dell]

oh I'm sure he won't continue to do that until Shelby either clams up or leaves...:huh:

[deliciousV]

well he is a comedy nerd and he couldn't remember Kinison's name, the poochie lipped fuck had it coming.

[Dell]

from what Leeds posted, I guess they're going to stick with debuting an Unmasked during the last hour of Fridays (when available)...kind of makes sense to bridge the two shows since they are now on the same station

[Dell]

given the multiple grammatical uses of "fuck," it took me three times reading the last part of your post...:laugh:

Leeds was responding to Hanso, neither of them have inside information, nor do they know what they are talking about in general. No offense.

it's 70 degrees here today, if I weren't on 5 year old duty starting at 3, I'd be headed over to my favorite beach side bar, The Landshark, for a few cold beers of the same name.

Who would have a hidden keyboard? And reviewing a movie is totally different. It's not like fez is hanging out with the folks at warner brothers.

[realmenhatelife]

This is why companies like Angies List and Consumer Reports make you pay.


The article said that the business man claimed the reviewers did not use his service. And a judges ruling in Virginia isn't going to change shit for yelp.

It's the difference between criticism and harassment. They're mixing a bunch of different issues here. This is really about the blurred line between public and private rights on the internet.

When you go on Yelp as a business or a user you're entering the public domain, in my mind. And taking away that anonymity isn't the same as saying that someone cant anonymously blog post about the oppressive religious regime or law enforcement in their town.

[Dell]

it all sounds like made up problems to me...:dry:

I just turned it on and am going by those two lines from r&f.

[casual]

I wonder if Ron's dry mouth is due to smoking cigars? Dry mouths are usually smelly as fuck. I wonder what Ron's mic smells like? Yes, Im creepy... :help:

Well, the first step in fixing a problem is admitting you have one.

Right about now I'm pretty sorry that my guess about ESD rejoining the show was wrong. He's bringing a lot of life to the show today.

Always does.

I still don't get why people wanted this flat, indistinguishable former intern in that slot. He'll throw out a few dry retorts a show, but doesn't bring energy or drive a convo ever.

[LeedsJr]

Aw man. I'm missing Dave?
Oh well. Cheers! :drunk:

I like Shelby as a regular a lot more than ESD...I can take ESD in small doses...very small doses

[realmenhatelife]

This is more how I feel. Dave can be funny, sure, but Shelby is more my style.

Team Shelby.

[realmenhatelife]

Ron said three critics, hopefully we're getting a dose of paulo. Not a dose from paulo.

it may depend on whether Paulo has had the chance to see the trailers or not...:dry:

In that part of Florida dont worry, he's seen trailers.

[hanso]

Wish they would have said ESD was coming after the break I wasted the delay and missed some of him

[LeedsJr]

Ah ghee ghee ghee

[deliciousV]

Probably an age thing, I have laughed at Dave, and he does bring energy, but there's something juvenile about his energy that eventually get's on my last fucking nerve. It feels like he's right at the edge of out of control at all times.

[realmenhatelife]

Jamir, HA.

[deliciousV]

Wow, Paulo getting the full on Mikey D treatment from Fez, that'll teach him to try and help.

I forgot Cop Out even existed.

Shelb is a good sidekick, but ESD is the straw the stirs the drink

[Dell]

while far far from his best work...I think De Niro did well in his comedies

and, in some of those comedies with him was Hoffman who is better as a serious actor and did well in comedies...

[realmenhatelife]

Shelb is a good sidekick, but ESD is the straw the stirs the drink

I think you mean the straw that yells.

[Dell]

Shelb is a good sidekick, but ESD is the straw the stirs the drink

IMO, if ESD interjected 1/3 to 1/2 of the times he actually does interject...he would be 10 times funnier (at least, less annoying)

[Dell]

satellite buddies...:bye:

[Recyclerz]

Shelb is a good sidekick, but ESD is the straw the stirs the drink

I think this sums up my thinking as well. I've been annoyed by too much Dave in the past when he'd try to fill in for Fez but today he was really filling the room /taking the stick more than any of the regular side people do.
I like Shelby and think his snarky asides are funny but can't see him being more than DH against southpaws. But he is young with potential to grow and I've been wrong before.

[sailor]

Team Shelby.

You're all crazy. If he disappeared from the show tomorrow without a word i'd never notice.

Oh, was he the one allegedly banned for attacking o&a?

Yeah, guess everyone owes o&a an apology on that one. Unless you go all kooky with he could never be on THEIR channel again.

I always thought it was pretty clear that Ron pulled him.

[deliciousV]

[Dell]

I always thought it was pretty clear that Ron pulled him.

it wasn't clear to me and I may have been the main one here that accused OnA of playing the Howard Stern card on Shelby...but I acknowledged that

however, those on OnA behave like Howard Stern-esque prima donnas...like when they attacked an intern when she dared to say she wouldn't date them because they were older (Anthony and Jimmy, men older than her father)

so, I have a hard time apologizing for mistaking Ron's "over protective" actions for those that behave just like Howard Stern...the king of all prima donnas

That's a terrible idea. Although, you'll always feel good about yourself, cause he's terrible.

[fezident]

I understand that Ron is the alpha.
I understand that every team needs a captain.

Having said that; I would really like to see somebody on the show that sees themself as Ron's equal. Somebody that would not wait for Ron to "let" them bring up a topic. Somebody that would go to the phones. Somebody that would also drive the bus.

Kinda like it was for Adam Carolla & Dr. Drew.

I think Susie Essman would such a person. Perhaps Florentine too. And Jeff Garlin.

the only thing that has kept the ship from sinking completely so far has been "the captain". He has done 97% of the work for years now, but yeah, what the show needs now is somebody to humble him. Ridiculous take.

[fezident]

Let me rephrase;
I wasn't implying that I would like to see somebody HUMBLE Ron. Or even "stand up" to him.
What I would like to see is a situation where somebody is playing on the same level (in every way) that he is on.

I love when Ron is on O&A. It isn't his show, but they treat him as an equal.... and I think it works really well. When he's there, they question him.... they make him explain himself.... they talk about what THEY wanna talk about.

Ron is as good a guest as he is a host.
If he had somebody in there with him that was not at all intimidated -and that was also a commanding presence- I think it would bring out the best in him.

Yeah, I thought it was weird he read that as wanting to humble Ron.

[deliciousV]

Yeah, I thought it was weird he read that as wanting to humble Ron.

Ok, humble was the wrong word and concept. But even in the examples he gave, one person is driving the show, The Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla show was driven by Dr. Drew, he let Adam talk as much as he wanted, but he moved the show along and decided when a call was over, on O&A Opie runs things, when he's not there Ant and Jimmy will sit and beat a dead horse for 3 hours because nobody can move them along.
I read "humble" into the original post because people in the listening thread have said, on more than one occasion, that they wished somebody would stand up to Ron, I guess the Fezident premise put me in that mindset. I've never understood what that would help?
More than one person deciding which calls to take, or what subject to talk about, or when to change subjects sounds like a cluster fuck.
