O&A Show Report Card? [Archive] - RonFez.net Messageboard

I really haven't had the opportunity to hear O&A for more than a few minutes at a time since the CBS-FM deal started, so I'm curious what people think.  How is it?  How is it different from the XM show up to that point?  Has the transition from uncensored show to terrestrial radio show been smooth?  Has the larger audience had an effect on the callers?  Have they been able to get bigger guests because of the larger audience?  Which portion of the show (XM exclusive or CBS-FM) has been stronger?  Have the FM breaks been difficult to adjust to?  Is XM doing a good job of filling the breaks with content?  Is the approach to the new show any different?  How has the transition between the two studios been handled?

i only get to hear the CBS portion from 6-7:15 or so...other then the cursing i really don't feel the show is all that much different.  that could be because the first hour is usually slower paced anyway.  they are having some phone problems (surprise) and seems the studio isn't complete yet.  for some reason the commericals don't seem that bad.  its not the 2 minute XM breaks...which seemed to get longer and longer to me anyway...but they aren't the 10 minute breaks i remembered.  maybe i'm just happy to have something other then DLR to listen to in my car on the way to work..my car kit broke and i'm not paying to have another one installed.   no stars have been on during the time i listen, unless you count Vos and I know no one would.  they did have Pat Cooper, but that was on the XM portion and was hilarious.  that interview would not have nearly been as good on FreeFM.   i'm happy with it.  and i still get the XM portion to listen to at home later in the day.  it actually works great for me and my schedule.  oh, and the walk from CBS to XM is one of the best parts of the show on XM.  its great.

Yes the walk over portion that's on XM is FUNNY.  Them on regular radio is good too. I expect it to get better & more like the old WNEW days once the studio at free fm is done & they feel comfortable to be themselves.

<a href="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/viewmessages.cfm/forum/89/topic/50020">O&A Show Report Card?</a>  I give them an "F Minus" in my book...Actually, they show isn't all that different (except the comercial breaks)They have already mentioned that they had a couple guests that they might now have had before.The walk over (Anyone have a list of the music? They played "Walk this way" and Pantera's "Walk" among others) has been pretty funny, I loved them getting smoothies on Monday.

It really isn't a lot different from what I've heard now.  I do understand that now they just plain can't move into certian topics like they used to but so far I can't bitch that the show wasn't funny or anything.  Plus last week Ant was sick all week, and now Opie is sick.  Shitty beginning but so far I think they've begun to adjust to it.What I didn't like was over on Wackbag, ANY questioning of the show was forbidden and you got shouted down.  Sure, there were a bunch of "Angry Typing Guys" bitching about the move even before it happened, but there was also a lot of older posters who got the business for just talking about thier concerns.I was spending all my time pissed about the Ron and Fez FUCKING, and one of their Mods told me to quit it.  Ehh, I had already made my point. Once a Mod tells you "We know you don't like the Ron and Fez move, you say it in every thread, we get it" your work is pretty much done.

I used to listen to both O&A and R&F when I could (listened to O&A back in the old BCN days and just started out with R&F on XM) - but since O&A have to gone to FreeFm, I suddenly and unexpectedly lost interest in them.  I really had no plans or expectations to suddenly drop them from my universe - but there it is. I don't hate them in any way and wish them success. This happened for me with Howard too a long while back. One day he was there, filling my head with his Howard sounds and I was having a rocking good time and then the next day, boom, I was done. Maybe it's the 9 hour a day show.  Maybe Opie is rubbing me the wrong way.  Maybe I just don't need to listen to them anymore.  Maybe I just love R&F so much that I don't need any other buddays.  It's hard to say.  R&F have, to me, an incredibly mysterious show.  It's very odd, very simple, very enigmatic, very real, very unreal, and absolutely joyfully hysterical.  It's not "like" anything else.  It's a warm bath in a strange gel.  I love East Side, I love Earl, I love Bronx Johnny, I love Fez and, of course, I love the cigar scarecrow, most of all.  My first post.  I'm ready for some noob slams. Damn, I'm missing the show...

I had been listening to O&A less and less since I was introduced to Ron & Fez  when they came to XM. I don't really have a problem with O&A it's just that I can't dedicate so much time to listening anymore. And I'd rather spend my time listening to R&F. When the O&A crew settle into their new routine and get the "steroid version" of the cbs show into the replays (editing out the commercials) I'll probably listen once in a while , but for me Ron & Fez is where it is for me.

I haven't heard the show since they got the boot from NEW. The biggest changes I've noticed are:   less forced laughter in the studio; Jimmy seems to be playing a bigger role.  The only thing I haven't enjoyed was the Twitchel and Big A stuff.  But I'm not a big fan of the malady guest.

I'm digging it. Sometimes you can tell they are holding back on a subject because the comment will just get dumped out. That's a little disapointing.

But all in all it's been good now that they are about done with introducing themselves to the new listeners and just doing their show again. The walk over to XM is really funny, thats the most surprising part of the whole thing.

The show isn't much different that its been lately, but the whole
ordeal is rather annoying.  Honestly, I haven't really enjoyed the
show that much lately.I catch the show in the morning and
afternoon out of convenience really.  The last time I remember
listening every day was the stunt when Patrice was in for Norton while
he was in Hollywood.  There were so many classic moments from
those weeks, and Patrice was so godamn funny.

As for Twitchells, he uses his affliction as a gimmick to promote his career (and yes, I know he would rather not have Tourettes). But when they put stuff in his hands and made him slap himself, I had to bail.

I was standing next to Big A when Ron & Fez were at BB King's.  I had no idea who he was and never would have known he had an affiliation with O&A, but they acknowledge his being there.  He ain't acting. 

Reephdweller

While I am not going to judge their shows on Free FM yet because it's still building, though I do think that O&A made an awful decision this morning by playing Howard Stern on Sirius. They were talking about how Howard was claiming to have also gotten an offer to do regular radio. They then played the audio from his show. Why? What is the benefit of playing audio from his show to people who used to listen to his show? If anything it may make some of those people miss hearing him and sign up for Sirius. While they're itching to expose Howard, they have to build their audience and they don't have them all on their side yet, so trashing the show the listeners loved and playing his audio just doesn't sound like a wise thing to do. I think they would have been better served if they just ignored him. Opie liked to joke that other radio shows that talked about them and trashed them were falling into their plan of talking about their show. Well they did the same thing for Howard and they also gave the listeners a chance to hear him again. They should just quit it and do their own thing already. I get it they're made and they want to expose him. Though I think they should do it when they actually win that audience over and build ratings.

Opie and Anthony must have really been hurting for cash to sign on for this 2 radio shows deal.  I realize they were on "regular" radio when we all discovered them on 'NEW, but I've come to know and love the XM version.  The tame version before 9 AM is weak and morning zoo-ish.

All the behind the scenes stuff aside, the last few O and A shows have been really funny. I was kinda pissed and annoyed with them for a while, but I am back to really enjoying their show.I wish Ron and Fez had a better slot, and maybe it will ahppen. But as afar as O and A, I give them a stron B+ the last few days.

Its been pretty good. If you liked the old show, you will like the new one.  I get a sense that its a lot of radio to do in one day.  The other day a bit blew up when nobody showed up for a $1000 and Tool ticket contest. It was kinda awkward after that.  Now they got a bit where they pit FM vs. XM when it comes to being professional. It seems like the bit could be the foundation for blaming problems with the transition on XM managment.

Still waiting in fact, thanks chief.   Moe, I'm sure I'm not in the minority when I say I'm getting sick of your harbinger of doom posting style, especially being, as HBox so eloquently put it, the self-proclaimed guardian of the R&F show.Outside of being bumped an hour, NOTHING HAS CHANGED FOR THE RON AND FEZ SHOW since coming to XM.  They were bumped one hour.  They didn't lose an hour of show.  They didn't have their shift completely changed.  They were bumped in order to make the XM/CBS deal happen.  End of story.  In the long run, the bump can HELP Ron and Fez's career by exposing 202 to people who listened primarily to terrestrial radio and get turned on to R&F.If you think the O&A deal or the one-hour bump is so bad for Ron and Fez, please explain it to me.  Please explain to me how the 60-minute change can be so detrimental to the show.  YOU see it as detrimental, and you will go all out to proclaim it far and wide across the board, and REFUSE to see any other sort of POV. You talk of how R&F and O&A are "fighting for studio space"... show me.  As went over before, space in the facility was cramped BEFORE all the other shows left for the Lincoln Center studios.  Now, I believe the only XM operations that is coming out of Steinway is High Voltage.  I could be wrong, but honestly - it's space for two shows in the same space that ran several CHANNELS on XM before the expansion of High Voltage.You take comments that O&A have made in the heat of the moment blinded by their hatred of Howard Stern, and twist them to make your argument that Ron and Fez are being disrespected.The pecking order of airshifts has always been Morning, PM Drive, Middays, Nights, Overnights.  Always has been.  Although a lot of us prefer R&F to be on at night, it's a step up for them to be on in Mid-Days.  Moe, you said yourself that you were going to wait to see how it plays out, and then withing THIRTY SIX HOURS, you started this "Fuck Opie" campaign.  Yeah, that's a well-thought-out and rational way of doing things. For Christ's sake, there's a six-hour hole in Free-FM's lineup, there's been speculation about R&F's involvement, and you're STILL going on this "Fuck Opie" rampage.If Ron and Fez get the 7-11 slot on Free FM, you are really going to have to swallow your pride and seriously shut the hell up.

Death Metal Moe

05-08-2006, 08:18 PM

I grow weary of arguing radio with you Tenbats, I really do.  I guess just because you work in the industry your word is somehow better than mine. I'm not repeating myself anymore with you.  If you can't handle someone else's opinion being on here without you jumping in EVERY FUCKING TIME then so be it.  Go convince yourself that your opinions matter more than mine.As for the Free FM deal, I don't want Ron and Fez there.  I paid for them to be on XM with all the freedoms and way less commercials.  Why would I want them to go backwards?  I've become quite used to hearing Ron and Fez speak more casually, when I can actually listen.  I want what we were promised.  Ron and Fez, free of FCC bullshit, live during a timeslot where new and old fans alike can interact with the show.Now tear down every sentence and prove me wrong.  I don't care because I don't take anyone else's point of view into consideration.

Tenbatsuzen

05-08-2006, 09:31 PM

And again, Moe, you're avoiding the central question I asked of you, so I'll present it again.   If you think the O&A deal or the one-hour
bump is so bad for Ron and Fez, please explain it to me. Please
explain to me how the 60-minute change can be so detrimental to the
show.   You also contradicted yourself in your post just now.You say that you want what you were PROMISED when you paid for XM. What you PAID for - and what YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GETTING - was a mid-day version of the Ron and Fez show. Again, 60 minutes is not that big of a difference.It may be a big difference for YOU, but in the long run, it's not.What were you promised? Where did it say this? Outside of some vague statements from Opie, which isn't an iron-clad promise.You are one of the most prolific posters on this board, but the problem is, you're so caught up in the verbal diarrhea that constantly spews from your mouth, you lose focus of the big picture. If I did research of your posts, how many times, over and over again, do you beat into the ground that Ron and Fez are being disrespected? That Opie is an awful human being? That Ron and Fez and the show is in a dangerous territory, and it's up to you to save them?You have CONSTANTLY made this about YOURSELF and how YOU can't interact with the show. Well, that's all well and good, but don't you think there's a TON of us who are in the same boat, and try to make ways to listen to the show? Sure, we want to be a part of it, but with the way it works, we can't. That's how life works. Again, you have been an absolute harbinger of doom about the Ron and Fez show, when again - the only difference is that it was bumped an hour.I will present the question one more time, and don't avoid it: Please explain to me how the one hour bump is so detrimental to the Ron and Fez show. Don't give me crap about how they're missing on West Coast Drive Time or anything like that... if that was the case, the first hour of the R&F show should be the most important hour of the show, and it's not, considering the first 15 minutes is dedicated to the show open, a song, and general setups. I want clear cut examples of how O&A have been disrespecting Ron and Fez. I want facts and cites to back them up. I want you to explain to me - since you are discounting the fact that I actually work in radio - how you think they are "fighting" for studio space. You're getting tired of fighting with me because I'm calling you out for being a gasbag and a whiner and complainer, instead of actually doing something positive, or maybe, just for once, seeing how it plays out. I find your comments about going to Free FM being a step backwards laughable. You know damn fucking well that if Ron and Fez were off XM and on Free-Fm from 7-11, you would be dancing in the street.At this point, Moe, you can't make everyone happy.  If Ron and Fez go to Free-FM, they will probably pull a simulcast from 7-11.  So there's the FCC restriction - which Ron and Fez can work with a LOT easier than O&A could - but a LOT more people get to interact with the show, including a lot of people from the board.  You know an XM-only 7-11 show is not going to happen, so it appears what you need to do is add this word to your vocabulary: "COMPROMISE".I mean, you complain you can't listen and interact with the show, but if it goes the 7-11 you can, but with the FCC restriction.  You can't have your cake and eat it too, Moe.

I was stuck in my wife's sat. free car yesterday and
listened to O and A for 15 minutes. In that 10 minutes nothing remotely
funny or new happened. The one thing that that stuck out to me was that
Machiavelli said that they had been planning this move back to Testicle
radio for 18 months. This positions him as the biggest douchebag
hypocrite in radio history. If R and F wind up with the same deal
(which O is implying) throw out your XM. It would be a pity because I
think Ron has been on fire on Sat.

   Well, we all know what a grand supporter of Opie and Anthony YOU'VE been.  Funny, O&A never called terrestrial radio "testicle" radio... who does that?  Oh, right, Stern.  Seriously, stop comparing the O&A show to the R&F show.  It's apples and oranges, and we all know that R&F can keep the integrity of the show much more intact on terrestrial than O&A could.

Tenbatsuzen

05-09-2006, 05:11 AM

I slept on it last night, and I also came to this conclusion... Moe, essentially, you and I want the same thing from the Ron and Fez show.  We want a show that is convenient for us to listen to live and take part in.  That means 7-11. I'm a proponent of the Free-FM simulcast because I believe that's the only way 7-11 is going to happen. My issue with you is that your twisting of the facts and making it about yourself while masking it under the fact that you're "protecting" the R&F show smacks of duplicity.   As I said before, outside of a 60 minute bump, nothing has changed for the show.  They have interns, they have more space in Steinway, they are being promoted the best they can on XM, and they have one of the biggest shows on XM as a lead-in. I fail to see the problem for the current incarnation of the show, outside of the fact it's a problem for good amount of old-school people to listen to it live.

Well Tenbats, although I find your attitude towards other people's opinions appauling, and I'm sorry  you still don't get why we're pissed about Ron and Fez just getting shoved where O&A need them I will agree with you on one thing.I don't think Ron and Fez are ever going to get the 7-10 or 7-11 slot on XM.  They're not big enough to get their own channel and O&A aren't going to give up their slots for their retard scheduled show.So I guess that means I can't complain?

Todays shows are a good example of how great O&A can be when they have their shit together. First the Frank Vincent interview was a lot of fun. Though by far the Richard Dreyfus interview on XM was easily the best O&A interview on XM to date, and the best interview I've heard from anyone in a long time.

I have decided to give in to the pressure and flip my opinion. Which way is that bandwagon going?We've decided that since both shows have given us so much grief to instead ask that they remove both O&A and R&F from both airwaves and replace them with the powerhouse team of Mason and Kalinski.

i feel the exact opposite of moe.at first i didn't care at all about the move, now i am irritated by the lack of action.  i'm not sure what type of action i want, just a sign showing that 202 is aware of ron and fez and that they haven't been relegated to 12-3.

I like O&A, but, their celebrity ass-kissing gets on my nerves.When Richard Dreyfus was in for an interview, at one point Anthony said something, and Dreyfus responded with, "I love cynacism.......NOT!" and the three stooges loffed and loffed, as if he had said something witty. I don't expect them to pound a guy like Dreyfus, but they should have just laughed politely, and quickly moved on. Also, when Carville was on today, a caller make some hack Ted Kennedy reference, and Opie apologized, and said the caller deceived the screener. I mean, c'mon Carville's a big boy, and could have easily handled the caller, why embarass yourself, and grovel like that?

You gotta be kidding, there was no way in hell that they were even going to be remotely close to doing anything out of line with Dreyfus. This was a great way for them to showcase how well they could do a straight up interview. There was way too much at stake with that interview, and on top of that they all greatly admire him with was obvious. Me personally I loved the interview and thought it was perfect aside from the fact that they ran out of time.

Out of the new stuff, I could give two shits about OnA and their thoughts about people complaining about the new format.  IMO, get on with the show, riffin on hoo hoo is funny, riffin on some dipshit from whackbag seems like a waste of time.

I loved the Frank Vincent interview the other day, but it really felt like two interviews.  At CBS, it's was a typical morning radio interview.  Get in there, promote the products, take the calls.  Once they took to the streets, it was a whole other level.  They were just guys hanging out.  Frank telling Twitchels that he wasn't funny was hilarious.  Then they got to the XM studio it was just guys riffing and hanging out.

I was enjoying the show the first week, and was hoping that this new challenge of two shows would be something to get me listening more. This week, though, I keep catching the same exact segment whenever I try to catch something on replays.
