Ron and Fez - The FIRST Time Earl Quit the Show

[@kennedybrendon8664]

Greatest era, of the greatest radio show of all time

[@Toedoro26]

Wnew was the best era Of Ron & Fez . Fez was destroying.

[@waltergross1269]

Its what they call "elevated horror"

[@kevingraham804]

Facts.

[@youtubebannedme4207]

Nah o&a were better before they got jaded and the lawyers stopped allowing them to do the show they do. I love Ron and fez but o&a was the better show.

[@bries1769]

Earl laid out on the canvas always brought Fez to life.

[@fifacraft49]

Earl def had male role models in his life but he choose fez as his mentor made no sense to me

[@chip2854]

@@fifacraft49the only role model that should matter to Earl is Ronny, and They’s because he employs his useless ass.

[@Rob_Kates]

Earl went to school at LaGuardia Community College. When he says that, Ron asks "You went to school at the airport?"

[@AmericaTheSimpleMinded]

LaGuardia is a famous airport. I’m not from the north but I’ve heard of it through RF/OA/Stern and certain TV shows. It’s what I thought of at first.

[@bries1769]

He quits yet somehow he doesn’t. Oh Earl.

Wow, you're right. Earl actually failed at quitting. I don't care what anyone says, that's impressive!

[@emzkoe3904]

Its cool to hear fezzy cracking up and enjoying himself. By the time i learned who he was he was well into bad years. Rip fezzy.

[@reddeath707]

Wasn't a lot of that said to be a bit? I remember Ron mentioning how even the hardcore fans wouldn't have been able to tell how much was a goof.

[@emzkoe3904]

@@reddeath707 I guess a lot of it was but wasn't the crying ones real?

[@reddeath707]

@emzkoe3904 I'm struggling to remember, it's been a while. I just remember a conversation where Ron talked about how Fez didn't mind being thought of as crazy. So he leaned hard into the character of Fez.

[@frankwhite7878]

⁠​⁠@@reddeath707lol no it was real. Go listen to the old episodes, fez was so witty and full of life, Ron would have never traded that for some beaten version of fez, but he had to make the best with what he had, Sure there were bits that leaned into fez’s insanity but that was because he was actually insane and incapable of being funny now. After fez died, Ron tried to rewrite history a bit to make fez look less crazy but the man didn’t have multiple heart attacks from stress and die a kiss less virgin as a bit lmao

[@SD_702]

Wait. So Earl was openly talking about having 40+ grand and "access to money" and Fez sat there in silence on the 2 grand he owes him to not embarrass him. That context makes the entirety of Earl on the radio have this unbelievable undertone of absurdity.

[@fifacraft49]

I thought the 2k loan came a year after he actually did quit…when he said how great he was doing haha

[@patrickgarneau6095]

Can’t help but believe that this is just theatre of the mind and a little soap opera conducted by Ronnie B.

[@Rob_Kates]

Right, I realized that when listening to the show, I have to ask one question. Is this a work or a shoot?

[@BigCatPosse]

Like all good bits, a little bit of both. Poor Earl never really fully grasped the show and that's why he got caught up in these resignation attempts, he had trouble figuring out if what Ron & Fez was saying on-air was a work or a shoot.

[@JimTheEditor]

@@Rob_Kates The show was as deep a work as anything could get. I'm not even sure Fez is dead.

Thank ya Budday! Keep em coming please :D

[@bobee1284]

I laughed really hard when he thought he should keep his pay and says he earned it! Also that woman never existed and he said it was a 2 1/2 day trip and then said he didn’t see her on the 4th night. What an absolute pathological lying fool. Almost unlistenable but I love the smashing he takes.

" it's all wide open for me now" Fast forward through a long stretch as a vibe Manager at hard Rock Cafe, and Earl is exactly the same mumbling,. bumbling fool . Doing a job with less responsibility
