Favorite "eras" of the Ron and Fez show

[Rawkus]

I've been listening to the show since late 2007 so i'm not familiar with the show before except for a few clips here and there. What is the considered to be the best era of the show? I guess right now it would be the constant fez crying era, and before that the eastside dave years, The DC years, etc with mini ones in between.

Because the show is on holiday i've been listening to random shows from different years. So, which is everyone's favorite?

[Suspect Chin]

You talking career ERA or single season?

[spoon]

Yah bc I LOVE Halladay's era last year, but how can you argue Mariano's lifetime era of 2.23 in the modern era!

[Death Metal Moe]

I'd say my favorite era was WNEW around the years of like 2002 and 2003. Lots of events, lots of good fans, lots of good calls. It was a great time.

[Dudeman]

the best shows were at WNEW with Al Dukes, Billy Staples, Joe Poo, the Hawk (2001-2002)

(Rory Hamptons was there at that time too, but his best contributions were off air, in more ways than one)

[PapaBear]

This is a complicated issue. I think it all boils down to when you first listened to the show live, when you first discovered them. I most remember the JFK era, because that's when I heard them first. After I discovered them, I absolutely LOVED listening to the NEW shows on replays and with downloads. But I still had more fun listening to the live JFK shows.

The XM era (though it has it's ups and downs) has been great, but that's when I had to switch to using XM2Go, since the show aired in the afternoon, and I'm only able to listen at night. I've heard some of the Florida stuff, but I only like bits and pieces of it. I think this may be because, at that period of time, I was in the same drug induced/party life stupor that the show was in at the time. Listening to it now, just doesn't do it for me.

I guess what I'm saying is, if you are talking about listening to old shows as they happened (as apposed to replays or downloads), there really isn't a favorite "era" for me. All era's have some golden moments.

I really miss listening live!

Definitely not when PapaBear listened live. :devil2:

[Dirtbag]

I've only listened since they started XM, but its easily the Dave era. The show wasn't as good before him, and its certainly not as good after him.

I Love the Show,But I must Agree...I am Retired now and I Listen Live almost every day and I catch Replays when I can...Oh Hell...You got me...I have no real Life...except O and A... and Ron n Fez...I just met a cool chick who wants too date soon...how do I explain my XM 202 addiction ? Oh and Happy DEW Year too all...:drunk:

[Fuzz Whatley]

Best era, Two words Suck and Fuck.:drunk:

[jafter]

For personal reasons I loved the DC years because I was able to go the the station and hang with the boys during and after the shows. I met some great people at the station at the live events.

As for the shows i would have to say the WNEW shows were the best "tasteless Ginny, joe poo, billy staples" the callers were better and the shows were really funny.

[jimmyolsenblues]

The summer of 2001 before 9/11...the show was amazing...greatest callers ever.
Ron has said the show was better than because the CALLERS were better.
I'd like to beat you to death with WNEW callers

[Cigar Sid]

I agree with Jafter. For personal reasons I love JFK but NEW was the best.

[disneyspy]

the short time they were in daytona totally blows away all other eras

I agree. My favorite is when they first started on WNEW, because that's when I first discovered them.

I introduced a guy i work with to the show today--luckily it was only the first hour. Although we had some laughs I had to tell him, "man, you should have heard how amazing this show was when they first started on WNEW around 2001".

And I still listen--but know that the show will never be the same (or as good) again. It's sad.

[cougarjake13]

for me def the wnew era

[spoon]

That's bc it's the only era you can remember you Alzheimer's infected grey-balled vagina.

[TheGameHHH]

I loved 2001-2002.

[spoon]

I loved 2001 until August and of course September...hmmmmmm? :unsure:

[disneyspy]

of course you did,you know nothing rube

[IamFogHat]

Mine are a tie between the JFK days and when Dave was at his peak from like 2006 until he left the show.

[disneyspy]

my real favorite was the WJRR to WSUN days for obvious reasons

[hereintheUK]

You know you need unique New York.

[Dudeman]

You know you need unique New York.

:thumbup:

[Contra]

WNEW days were the best. So many great memories. Remember a time when we could chill with everyone from the show at least once a week at bar 9? Damn the good old days, the NEW green room, things il never forget, besides the parts I blacked out for.

[fezident]

Of course, I loved the NEW era.
"this is not a bit!!"
&
"Staples! NOW!!"
Good times indeed.
That was also a great time for comedy pyramids, sound drops, best unsigned band contests, fight nights, and on & on. The show was much more energetic in general.

I also liked that brief two-shifts-per-day period. The boyz were exhausted and punchy. A+

[helterskeletor]

ESD and Earl era.

[Recyclerz]

WNEW with Al Dukes. He was so much fun to hate.

[johnfromstateni]

I agree with Moe and dude; I got turned on way back during RonandFez.com, at the start of the NEW run. but that didn't really hit its stride until it was joe poo, dukes, staples and hawk. that said, i really would have loved to have caught them in florida with ron diaz: the run in with don johnson and the paul-o stuff. bet that was cool.

[johnfromstateni]

anyone remember when the blowhard was the heckler?

[PapaBear]

anyone remember when the blowhard was the heckler?
Didn't that change occur sometime towards the end of the JFK era?

[Recyclerz]

anyone remember when the blowhard was the heckler?

Hell, I remember when he was the Cleveland Heckler. *


* Not the Cleveland Steamer - that was one of Fez's characters. :wink:

[spoon]

of course you did,you know nothing rube

I watched your stupid vid and it reeked of shock jockery. Yah, we get it, you were a young 65 back then so it's the past you revel in!
