I like listening to recorded shows, then I can just skip through. They're so brutal and out of place around holidays.
O&A either do theirs DURING the commercials or make it the last thing they say before they go to break.

There's usually less of them. But I'm not actually quite sure why I put "around holidays".

Ha...when I listen in the PT room, I say the same thing EVERYDAY!!
I am like a broken record now saying it. I understand they have to do em around certain times or what not. But can they find a better way to segue them in?? Several times these past two weeks they were in the middle of good discussions then they get cut right off by these damn live reads.
PLEASE SIRIUS, LET THEM READ THEM DURING THE ACTUAL COMMERCIAL BREAKS LIKE O AND A DO!!!!!!

The saddest thing of all...its not live reads..its fez...he has lost the ability to riff on radio..
He is the highest paid radio professional that can't talk on the radio...so all he is comfortable with is live reads and gay rights...
I think Ronnie ruined it for me when he said, "Fez is the most self absorbed person that I ever met". I used to think Fez was lovable and cute...but if he truly is just a self absorbed person...what is to like....
All Fez has left is live reads...he can't or won't do anything else.

Lets not just give Ron a pass, half the time he makes them longer with his trying to trip Fez up nonsense, Just let Fez do his read and move on

If Ron wanted them during breaks, they would be. It's a bit and is funny some of the time when Ron makes fun of him while he reads.

Yup. Plus, Ron has been doing an amazing job setting up the live reads on the sly. I cant remember exactly what he said today but it was something like;
Ron: Nothings is sadder than when a person continuously spouts out stuff they dont believe in or understand.
Fez: Vermont Teddy Bear Company!
Ron: Oh jeez.

On Tuesday's show, they were talking movies with Paul O and Fez just started in with a live read in the middle of the conversation.
And now they're tying in their "game shows" with the live reads. Arg.

I would rather listen to anything done by Franklyn on the show, ever.

I havent laughed harder at something Fez has said in a long long time.
"you likey"
Had me dying
The problem is, we're now officially laughing at him and not with him, which is kinda sad

I find the live reads to be very informative.

Every other talk show I listen to on Sirius/XM does it that way. It sucks when they are on a roll and they hit a wall with the live reads. :wallbash:

They were talking over Fez's read on Tue. show because of that.
I don't know, sometimes Fez starts one at the worst possible moment: and then I think how brilliant that is. I especially love when Ron turns up a song and Fez has to shout out the read.

We choose our own perceptions. Choose to enjoy the reads or don't but it's a lot more fun if you give in and accept them.
I find them to be hilariously out of place. I love the tension and the ensuing sabotage.

I think that's one of the best ways I've ever heard Ron explained.

They can be so jarring in the change of topic and tone that I cannot help but laugh at them. I will say that listening to the WJFK shows a lot of the shows had comedy bits built around a sponsor.
They would give out sponsored prized for the most embarrassing thing your parents say. Much more caller involved.

Is there any reason Fez never takes calls from the listeners? Ron does all of that. It might get Fez more involved in things.
Just a guess.

That could have been the funniest "sierra mist" moment ever on the show. The complete shock of Ron, Dave & Sam was hilarious.
