Ron to Billy: You’ve gotta keep your chin up, big man. Fez: All of them! Vintage Fezzy ! 😂

[@FINNlSH]

Thank you so much for keeping the old school ron and fez clip game still going in 2023! Love having these playing in the background when im on the computer

[@Spicy_Nugget]

Just noticed it was 5 hours long he'll yeah! Ty! 💙

[@drucifer00]

This is the Fez I never knew. I only started listening in the Sirius years.

[@frankwhite7878]

I know I always thought they were exaggerating when they talked about how good used to be because he was so far from good. But he was a genius

[@marty7432]

I listened to them the entire time they were on WNEW. I always thought about the people who started listening when Fez was losing it. They need to understand how great he was.

[@joegumbo1905]

I still love you fezzie

[@Brian-dg3kz]

Yayhoo Billy, Billy's number one yahooooo

[@mattb8943]

Billy’s material was all hacky joke jokes stolen from better comedians who did it 20 years prior to this

[@joeldb]

Ron’s little “not going up there” at 3:16:40 is so damn funny for some reason

[@LetsEndHumanity]

Gosh, thanks so much!

[@DessertDeserts]

I wish I had Billy's level of self-confidence....before the show, of course.

[@mattb8943]

Fez was so damn good during this time period.

[@Dre2Dee2]

God bless the people of Red Bank for killing Billy's shitty comedy career 🤣🤣🤣

[@JuanCKaun]

12:32 Ron's what? Was perfect

[@georgedudleysashtray3860]

"Parallel writing? They came up with a politically correct term for plagiarism." RIP Fez, my king.

[@sanfordsanford295]

Drinking water is honestly so underrated

[@a.fortier7966]

Billy’s biggest mistake was not showing up for work

[@aidantkbaker]

This is so fucking funny. Also Fez was great back then.

[@captainredbeard7933]

I knew Billy's comedy was going to be bad, but I did not expect the complete comedy vacuum.

[@UncleQue]

This was a great period for R and F. I did always feel that this was all a work though. Basically a radio stunt with the idea that Billy was supposed to bomb. I could be wrong.

[@yarghhargh9345]

Like everything R&F, it's a bit of both

[@AshtreTokes]

Everything ron&fez should be treated like CM Punk’s Pipebomb storyline. Pretty much everything being said or happening is real, but approved. I’m sure billy didn’t intentionally bomb, but he definitely was in-on his lambasting. Same with Fezzywinks, he legit had heart attacks and like any good worker he made his life the storyline.

[@dooberto]

i heard it was a work. but the true part is the funniest. billy was expecting a bunch of opie and anthony air time and a "redemption" gig with norton. by the time billy got back from his planned vacation sex for sam had gone down and O&A were gone and soon everyone else was let go when the station went to playing music.

[@oneskinnyhonky]

Two things I can believe: Billy isn't as funny as he thinks he is and Billy will use any excuse to fall off the wagon.

[@youtubebannedme4207]

​@@AshtreTokes who? and what?

[@vladthedragon8250]

You've shown me what it means to be a true pro in the sense of the word.

[@Spicy_Nugget]

Yeahhhhhhhh

[@mikefingers8909]

😬 i coulda saved you alotta trouble, budday.

[@omayrasdemesne]

to be fair - he has some new stuff ;-)

[@MickeyMerris]

Honestly ,this cut is a little better.

[@mikefingers8909]

@@MickeyMerris yeah i agree, it is a little better. must be the static.😜

[@MickeyMerris]

@@mikefingers8909 The hours of entertainment and comfort I've got from your OG version is great but he's got a little more material. I didn't realize you mofos were like rappers . Please don't start shooting each other .

[@surpriseme1082]

So weird to hear Fez belly laugh

[@JuanCKaun]

"you felt really good about this thing you almost had her" fuck man, ron kills

[@youtubebannedme4207]

"i might even be called back on stage. they may want an encore" well technically hes right but I don't think it was how he wanted it.

[@vladthedragon8250]

Women bat their eyelashes, they unbutton a few buttons, and they get away with murdah!

[@Youmeandacupoftee]

5:11:30 a little uh anecdote there uh thing.

[@dubbzzy1470]

From someone who found Ron & Fez later in time I’ve learned quickly that Billy Staples was great for radio but lord he is one of the most hatable humans on the planet 🤦‍♂️

[@a.fortier7966]

Oh Billy

[@OniMorter]

You're so silly

[@Mallen5.5.17.Q]

3:45:43 Im sorry to the fans that paid their hard earned money to see me. Nobody was their see him clearly

[@ChickenWing-zk2qf]

Fez was as quick as Anthony on o and a, wht happened

[@PFiction24]

I like how the tampon porn guy had to add “That’s disgusting!”

[@Youmeandacupoftee]

Tampon poooorrnn.. That's disgaaassting lol..

[@MoDeegroes]

2:28:13 - Hey Rob, the caller. I really hope you see this. This has got to be the most delusional caller of all time 🤣🤣🤣. What a clown
