It's amazing how many callers attack Fez with jizz, cum and other cheap shots. Everyone wants to be a comedian at the expense of our favorite radio co-host, and those who attack Fez should be ashamed of themselves. People like lleder and his ilk seem brave when calling in hurting Fez, but they turn into rim jobbing ass kissers when they see him in person.
Gutless cowards. Leave our buddy Fez alone!

You may want to research the years of the Fez character... this seems to me to be modus operand a when calling out his character... I doubt he is offended in any way whatsoever... we kid cause we love...

99.99% of listeners love fez to death.
People call in with that shit because they feel like it's a funny bit to give him a little jab or two in a good natured way.
Then again, I'm from Boston. I grew up with people giving shit as a way of life, and that has continued to be a trend from age 2 to age 25, and I don't see that social instinct changing as we get older.
I'm biased but I see ball busting as a form of love.

If you think that busting Fez's balls the same way a caller would bust Dave, Pepper, or Scruffy's is taboo, then you must think that Fez is weak and can't handle criticism. Sounds like you don't have a whole lot of respect for the Fezster.

Word.
I think that conflict is the heart of what makes R+F an interesting show. There's a fuckton of conflicting opinions between ron, fez, employees of the show and listeners of the show.
If those conflicting opinions are damned in th eyes of the show then you have yourselves one hell of a homogenized boring pile of shit.
Enjoy the slurry of vanilla paste that you create fucktards.
Not that R+F is dumb enough to become something else based on the whining of a few ridiculous fans.

so anyone who starts a thread with an opinion thats positive about Fez is someone you can do the whole "kool aid drinker dance" at but someone who writes a negative opinion and people respond the same way you respond to this guy its "waaaah! hes just posting his opinion..what you can't post an opinion on a messageboard anymore?"

Straight people are so scared of gay people.
I am not a fan of the Fez bashing because it no longer seems balanced, and too often it's done by unfunny douches who have elevated their opinions of themselves because they once saw Jim Norton at Redbank.

You may want to do research into the Fez character - WNEW and DC callers never busted his balls like he gets now, and the one or two times a listener thought they were on the same level as Ron with regards to Fez, they would have their asses handed to them.
I blame the "homeless Fez" sequence of events for opening these floodgates.

It's hard for people to have respect for you when you seem to have no respect for yourself.
However, I think one of the biggest culprits of this is Ron. I know Ron cares for Fez, and it may be a bit, it may be toughlove, but I think he picks on Fez the most.

Ron has always picked on Fez on the air. The difference is that on WJFK and WNEW there was almost an unwritten rule that Ron picking on Fez was fine because they had that relationship, but the listeners didn't. Actually, it was kind of okay for the listeners to give Fez shit if it was funny, because that added to the show. Also, if it was funny, it didn't come off as mean-spirited. The problem is that most of the XM callers aren't funny at all and have no clue about determining when a jab at Fez might add to the show.

I don't think Ronnie takes offense and since he does all the voices on the show, I think we're cool.

Going back to AJ's point, Ron's behavior enables the callers. Kind of like playing the Randy Newman drop when there was "inappropriate" humor. As soon as the show realized that people were saying garbage just to get the Newman drop, Ron stopped doing it and then started leaving callers hanging out to dry saying, "You think that's funny?" *silence* *hangup*
Back in the day, Fez's problems weren't as "out there" as they are now. Perhaps if the mocking of Fez really bothered him, Ron should dial back his behavior, and the callers would follow suit.
Finally, it's not that the XM callers are unfunny. It's the XM callers *at that time of day* are unfunny.

Is it a jump to logic that most people who can 'get' a radio show may be working or unavailable to call during R&F's slot?

No, not at all - I was just curious if there had been an example of an XM night show that had 100% brilliant callers - ones who get their show. I have always wanted R&F to be on later than they are, partly for this reason/theory - but I no longer blame the timeslot or the blanket "hayseeds" for the callers they inherited.

Really? It seems a lot of people who "get" the radio show are in the listening thread every day or even in the studio. I don't even think Mikeyboy or HTG work.

Of all the bitching I've read about Fez, nobody ever claims that the show isn't funny or is less funny than before. The show evolves like everyone evolves because lives change over the course of 9 years+. Go back and listen to the old shows and there's good moments and a whole lot of awkward moments with Fez overcompensating with an exaggerated laugh or Ron is going for really obvious jokes. There were great aspects to the WNEW show, but there was plenty of formulaic, tired bits. The show has taken on a more cynical tone, with Dave as the optimistic contrast, and Fez somewhere in the middle. You're more than welcome to like the show or dislike the show, but consensus among people who are wistful for Fezatorials and the Nature Boy is that the show remains entertaining. Do any of you stop to think that half of Ron's jokes are set up by Fez?
Realize that the show has changed, and there are positives and negatives to all eras of the show.

It's easier to post in a listening thread than it is to call in to a radio show.
I can easily post in a thread while at work. Not so much to call in.

If time of day has anything to do with it, I think the nighttime callers just have a different energy about them. Maybe they're more relaxed because the work day is over, maybe they're on to their third cocktail. Whatever it is, evening callers are better for the most part.

I'm sure at this point it does hurt his feelings, did't he cry over "fez, the guy who doesn't understand comedy" line one day?
And if fez can't speak the least he can do is take a little shit talk on air...how many times are you listening to the show and think you've lost connection but its only ron not talking?
JAH1013

Ron makes fun of Fez more than anyone. Are you calling a hault to Ron's comments too or just the callers? If Fez would just talk openly about the "secret", I'm sure all the disrespect (your words) would stop.

Simple, one of two things:
1. they get the show and they give funny, non acerbic ribbings related to cum, gay jokes etc.
2. they are new and don't know the show and are retards and we will always have to deal with them whether they're talking about Fez or anything else. Lockey.

Seems to me (from the cheap seats I'll admit) when it comes from Ron it is from the heart and tough love. Some callers are good spirited about their ball busting and Fez takes that in stride. Others, he calls out and it gets uncomfortable quickly for the caller and they stammer and back track, as lleeder has a few times in the past weeks. Those times are the best, Fez can take care of himself when he needs or wants to.

I agree that most of it is the relationship Ron and Fez have that makes Ron's ribbing of Fez less hurtful, but I also think that Ron has a tendency to step on Fez with a quick line that ruins Fez's confidence and causes him to never really get off the ground.
Seems like sometimes Ron will prod Fez into voicing his opinion then quickly shoot it down once he does. It will then take Fez a half hour to get the confidence back to speak again.

Some are actually funny, but some are just bad attempts at humor. However, I think most are done in good fun.
Fez makes himself an easy target. What would you pick on Ron about? Sure, you could ask if he buys his shoes at Baby Gap, but after that, where do you go?
The man has two radio shows, who am I to insult him?

I think that Ron gets tired of carrying the show. He wants his partner back, and I think he gets annoyed. I'm not going to blame him for wanting the guy to get back where he was and put all this crazy shit behind him. I also think it kills Ronnie when he tells fez how to deal with some of this stuff, and Fez grunts and agrees, then weeks later he comes in all enlightened over what the "therapist" says, and it's the exact same thing. :wallbash:

Theres a distinct difference between calling in and getting in a getting a cheap on Fez shot that runs with the themes of the show and calling in a being a giant hateful douche bag.
I dont think the latter occurs that often.
