Ron & Fez - Black Earl aka Faildozer

4/16/08

[@Blady99]

He doesn’t fail at dozing though

[@number88676]

I love that people still get frustrated with Earl on this year of our lord, 16 years after this show. Radio gold.

[@MoxRuthless]

Earl this is madness

[@oneskinnyhonky]

The caller at 12:21 nailed it: Earl thinks that it's unreasonable to expect anything above the bare minimum from him. He thinks that as long as he attempts the task, he should be given his gold star with no hassle; when given criticism, he deflects it with his own opinion (as if anyone asked for it) so he can insulate himself from making any kind of improvement. Long story short: 🚧🛑🚧 👷‍♂️ "Here comes the Faildozer!"

[@jamesd.6979]

Spot on. The other thing that infuriates me is his persecution complex. He always cries about how people ask him questions over and over but never give him a chance to finish answering. What he doesn't understand is people only cut him off when he answers with blatant lies. If he would just tell the truth, people wouldn't be asking him the same questions over and over to begin with. He thinks everyone should just accept his nonsensical lies, he feels personally victimized when he gets called out for not telling the truth. He's so emotionally immature. "OK Fine, I'm wrong then. It's my fault. I'm always wrong." Once he's backed into a corner and he has no choice but to admit that he's lying or that he made a mistake, he starts throwing/breaking studio equipment like a toddler having a temper tantrum. He's like 50 years old now and he still acts EXACTLY the same way. I've never seen someone change so little over the course of 15 years, it's astonishing.

[@TheMisadventuresOfWiggy]

That's most people nowadays 🤷🏿

[@Zach-uv3jg]

I actually dislike him more than Opie.

[@BlibbaBlob]

"Im trying something different!" What an excuse for still not knowing how to do your job after 20 years.

[@intoclarke9967]

This is in my top 5 Dave and Earl moments ever on Ron and Fez.

[@ericanulph1980]

Best Earl and Dave moments were when earl was choking out dave for impersonating his earl's grandmother

[@dickvalentinesillegitimate1059]

@@ericanulph1980 I was literally just thinking that. “MY FUCK-UP FORRUH GRANDSUUN!!””

[@jbvap]

I really feel bad for earl sometimes, but my god he digs his own grave every single time.

[@jslbrt]

But he wasn't finished!!!

[@stfnkblm6738]

A lot of these Earl clips really cross the line into viscous bullying territory. This happens on a lot of other radio shows too.

[@The512Dude]

​@@stfnkblm6738 ha! No it's not. Not even in the realm of bullying.

[@heySTUPIDass]

[@DrGeta666]

Earl is the worlds greatest punching bag

[@dorianblackwood1321]

Earl "I'm Not Finished" Douglas.

[@july1730]

Why won't anyone let him finish?

[@emmetLshavinski]

Now he's "Let Me Finish"

[@terrortwylight419]

The best is when Ron actually silences the room and gives Earl a chance to finish but he has absolutely NOTHING to substantiate whatever ridiculous lie he's currently peddling.

[@AirBuddDwyer]

@@terrortwylight419 To be fair, often times in general people make a big show of giving you an opportunity to make your point if you mention they keep cutting you off in an argument, but in reality they way they go about doing it is with a deliberate hostility that's intended to try to put passive aggressive pressure on the person who was being cut off. And what usually winds up happening is that contextual pressure makes the person who finally has time to make their point hesitate for a split-second to try to collect themselves in the moment, (usually accompanied by something like an "umm, well..." while collecting their thoughts) at which point the person who made the big passive aggressive gesture of "letting" the other person make their point immediately jumps all over them and goes "see, I told you didn't have a point!!!" It's an extremely effective (though intellectually dishonest) framing tool, and most people who actually do have a solid point still fall victim to it. All that being said, this is Earl, and none of what I just tried to outline applies to him specifically because he genuinely never has a coherent point to begin with, not to mention whatever he's babbling about is typically interspersed with lies, and he often yells "let me finish!!!" even when no one's cutting him off. The only thing I agreed on him with this was that the New Wave rejoiner/bumper clip was perfectly solid and they were claiming it sucked just because they were all having so much fun at that point shitting on Earl that they all agreed tacitly to pretend that it sucked.

[@Mike-tr8zy]

Hicks at the end is absolutely amazing

[@jennpenn5]

Michael Peddlesden It was hilarious that he got so high pitched.

[@OldHead71]

Ron was brilliant for having such an incompetent producer ...made for much more entertaining radio than if his producer was intelligent and professional

[@jamesd.6979]

So bad they brought him back just to continue shitting on him.

[@Women_Rock]

Do you think they would have preferred STEVEEE YESSSSSS

[@ericanulph1980]

black earl is gold

[@evansgate]

Besides Pepper and Dave I don’t think they had any competent producers

[@JaneDoe-zr4px]

it's so weird to hear Fez talking about something other than himself and/or his probs

[@Supercrayawn]

Earl is a pathological liar. He deserves literally no pity whatsoever. I hate him with all my heart. He always blames others, then when he finally admits the truth after hours, he acts as if he told the truth to begin with, when in reality, his version of the truth is drastically different.

[@jondough120]

I feel the same about billy staples.

[@cowboydan8021]

LMAO! it has always amazed me that Earl genuinely believes that Ron is a dear friend to him. Ron has humiliated him brutally on the air so many times just for sport. Earl doesnt just look like a stupid idiot with his grotesque overbite and dumb expression, he really lives the gimmick.

[@Mrz-bq2yb]

Nah Ron legit sees Earl as a friend. He wouldn't have dealt with his bullshit so long if he doesn't like him.

[@ericanulph1980]

It's what makes Ron Bennington a true genius

[@TheMisadventuresOfWiggy]

Aww come on man, don't be racist

[@july1730]

Great ear on Fezzie, the Audible promo did come off as something malfunctioning with Audible. Audio marketing is all about being easily understood to the masses. Simple. Clear. Rustic ingredients.

[@mistersippi2945]

@Brendon Kennedy No he lucked out, or in a past life was the greatest person ever and god rewarded him by sending him to Ron who wanted a Mr Magoo. He knew what Earl is, and what he was like, and like a guy who hears his favorite band/music for the first time, said “This. This is meant for me” and knew he’d struck gold. Like Ron said, he knew eventually he’d be gone but no one anywhere thought he’d quit.

[@mistersippi2945]

Fez was truly a force to be reckoned with according to some of the funniest people in existence. He was an ace on promos, on air things, bumpers, production, set ups, comebacks etc. This is like when you see a villain in a show that’s just the worst, but they flashback to how amazing and loved he was so you can wonder “what happened to him”?

[@brianhacker9194]

easy to tell that Chris Stanley/Pepper Hicks was going to be Radio Gold 🥇

[@sandthebass77]

Hicks was far from radio gold. He repeated everything Ron said in different words and was not quick enough to keep up. Having said that, I don’t think he ever intended to be 2nd mic.

[@JaneDoe-zr4px]

"it was shockingly different" Ronnie B lol . . .

[@kevinericsnell4092]

5:09 I love Dickie Goodman, don't get me wrong.... ^_^ such a low-key insult that not everybody would catch

[@jamesd.6979]

I love Dickie Goodman too. Like all of us, he made a few mistakes. But in the end he always made it right.

[@jlshel42]

In 2020, Earl is back on the show and contributing less. He missed a month because “my nose was running...”

[@brianhacker9194]

he is the Absolute Shitz !!

[@BrendonKennedy-yl4oz]

Earl , probably unintentionally, throws a pass the responsibility jab at Fezzy. OOPSIE

[@funnybone6149]

That audible ad was horse shit

and I understand that but

[@5milemacc737]

“No I’m EP” - Fez 😂

[@aromardu]

The New Wave/40s mashup would have worked much better now, with the retro synth-music that's currently popular. Earl was ahead of his time. The Paul O bit was very uncomfortable to listen to and it just kept going. A highlight of Earl's production failure. The introduction to it starts at 18:57 if anyone wants to jump right to it. And remember: IT'S NOT FINISHED YET!

[@danieldevine5347]

*it wasn't finished*

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE CRIIIIINNGGE HELP ME!! HELP!!!!!

[@comeonmaaan4288]

@16:13 The rejoiner is fine and fits fairly well with the show. B- at worst. They're pushing the bit a little too hard by shitting on it.

[@Pilkie101]

Very hard to stop a moving faildozer

[@dreaded360]

how the fuck does he yell , whine , stutter all at the same time

[@Seanpfree]

why did this guy ever get this job?

[@omayrasdemesne]

There is another vid where Ron and Fez reference that Earl was with O&A and they asked to R&F to take Earl and they did... then after some time with him they could of gotten rid of him but kept him due to friendship and acknowledged that was a mistake. I'm not claiming my answer is the absolute truth - this is the truth as I know it.

[@paulhendrick5857]

+Oma “omaseng” Ser and now he's Hardrock Johhnys problem, unless he blew that opportunity too.

Now back with Ron on the Bennington show.

There isn’t a single person who could refute that this zero had a job simply based on color, period. He was/is awful. At everything. That’s why he flipped burgers for 9 years 😂

[@jennpenn5]

Why didn't anyone inform Mooch that E isn't actually a grade?

[@danieldevine5347]

I'm assuming it's a grade in the country he's from

[@Rob_Kates]

When I was in school, an E was a failing grade, not an F (I am from the US, Michigan).

[@jennpenn5]

That's crazy. I've never heard that. I guess you learn something new every day. We had A, B, C, D and F and both D and F meant you failed, which also seems crazy.

[@blacksteelinthehourofchaos4921]

@@Rob_Kates Must only be a Michigan thing, because that's where I'm from and I was extremely familiar with "E"s!

The production always sucked. Why were these guys judging anything lol

[@alexburky9124]

16:30 mark the piling on aimlessly begins just trying to guess Ron’s opinion on things. Fez sucks

[@oneskinnyhonky]

In Earl's defense, the rejoinder clip wasn't that bad. The fact that it was unfinished was the worst thing about it.

[@joesolo8800]

He's pathetic.
