Ron & Fez: Fez's Thanksgiving Breakdown (11/22/13)

Ron was on Opie & Anthony today, this coupled with Samuel Jackson saying a word he doesn't like sends Fez into a state of paranoia. Fez starts to cry, lash out at callers and speculate what Opie, Anthony and Jimmy said about him behind his back. Soon, Fez becomes hysterical (in the crying sense) and thinks everyone currently alive is trying to get him off his own show. What will the ramifications be? We'll have to wait until the week after next to find out.

I must confess for all of Fez's insanity, the show was never the same after he retired. I never missed a day not wanting to miss a Fez breakdown or on-air fight, now I might tune in a couple times a month. Ron's a great radio guy, but he was smart enough to realize he needed Fez's wackiness to play off of his dry wit in this "odd couple" type relationship to make the show work and nobody has ever been able to replace that.

this is literally the first ron and fez show ive ever listened to on my satellite radio and i was cracking up the entire time at him crying and the awkward silence in between sobs

[@XannonHamish]

after listening to this clip, i'm wondering only one thing. How the hell did flipper dial the phone number???

[@lt.finglefubledingler1972]

I pondered that everytime Eric the Midget called Howard

“But that completely correct thing you’re saying is actually wrong because it hurts my feelings”

[@knicksfule]

Fez: mentions something mean someone did to him Ron: ... ... ... ... "why do you think they did that?"

[@lathumpipe]

If this was a bit, it was the greatest long term radio bit ever pulled off. If not, Fez didn’t realize how much he was appreciated. What a pity.

[@seventysue8090]

I still haven't figured it out. Guess fezzy took it with him to the grave but I thing it was for real. He just lost his marbles along the way and got caught up in the politically correct stuff after he had been a shock jock. Idk what happened to Fez but he died sad and alone and a virgin so.... That's how far his "bit" got him

[@XmXFLUXmX2]

Fez needs to be doing the Thorazine shuffle.

[@hahahahahahahaaahahaheehah1924]

Ronnie absolutely nails it at 17:00. I don’t know how to time stamp but what he says is so applicable to today’s society.

[@lt.finglefubledingler1972]

Replace “today’s society” with “humanity”

[@bigcatclassics6759]

I'm not one of these guys who constantly talked about what genius Ronnie is.... But he did havs some incredible insight and wisdom on the human condition. Especially for the toxic elements that have completely molested any of us - who want to speak freely or act in a way that is not considered "appropriate" by this group of toxic Cancel Culture creatures.

1:38:40 - Only on the R&F show could a 49yo doctor - who wasn't known as a funny caller, or even an interesting or controversial guy -- just some superfan could get invited to studio... Cuz everytime he showed up - he showered the hosts & staff with really extravagant gifts. He dropped over $1000 on this trip🤣🤣

[@relickeep]

The Mike call at the end make me belly laugh every time.

[@FSinWCR]

As someone who is partially gay (Bi technically, but definitely accepting of the fact that I prefer men), my feelings on the word fag and faggot are that yeah, it's a rough word, and I see why it affects Fezzy like it does. But it was something Sam Jackson said out of anger at the moment, not "Oh you fag, you fucking homo, I hope you die". Fez being this paranoid loon who wants all derogatory words banned annoys the hell out of me. He also seems to be some moral crusader when it comes to issues that affect him. He's against the word faggot because he's gay, and he's against the word crazy because he's got mental issues and is doped up on pills to keep him from doing himself in. I don't personally like Troy Quan, and I'll even admit his whole throwing of the word fag bothered me a bit, but Fez has done far too much damage with this whole feeling that anyone who uses the word must want to hurt him because that isn't true. Yeah, he didn't ask for Troy to be fired, but he still is a catalyst to what almost got him fired, and the gag order he's now under. Do I think the word is derogatory? Hell yes I do. Do I think it should be banned, and anyone who uses the word should have their livelihoods destroyed even if it was said accidentally? No, because this censorship bullshit disgusts me and spits in the face of the right to freedom of speech. It's not like everyone who uses the word Fag wants to beat up a gay person, and leave them to die like Matthew Shepard. There are those people, but that's a far rarer case. We're close to living in a bubble society where any form of social interaction will be off limits becuse anything we say or do will land us in trouble for being offensive.

[@makhansingh6493]

"Technically" no such thing as "partially gay" or Bi. If you have had sex with the same sex...YOU ARE GAY! Just cause you choose to switch back and forth and have a heterosexual relationships...doesn't change the fact that you have had homosexual relations. Just be honest with yourself and admit that you are a Gay person who enjoys hetero relationships as well. Too many gay cowards hide behind the BI-BEARD.

[@MattMonk]

makhan singh You should be ashamed of yourself.

[@MattMonk]

makhan singh Nah, that's not what I'm trying to say. What you're trying to do is define the sexuality of others and force labels on people. I'm guessing you're young and it's a subject you're passionate about, but I hope one day you'll spare others the same rigid social categorization that you've probably fallen victim to.

[@makhansingh6493]

MattMonk you're just a loser with nothing better to do...read the thread! He / she was the one that DEFINED him / her self. Despite the fact you are an idiot, I agree with you. Less labels in todays society would be great. Referring to yourself as Bi just perpetuates confusion and ignorance and results in labeling. All im saying is if youre gay than own it...and be gay.

[@makhansingh6493]

OzzyFan87 OzzyFan...your name says it all. I'm not an idiot, I'm a vegetarian that eats hotdogs on the weekend. Ooops, I mean I'm partially vegetarian. Although I am vegetarian, I accept the fact that I eat hotdogs....but only on weekends after some red wine.

[@mambaboy1982]

[@aromardu]

I'm gonna love the November/December shows. That's usually when Fez or Ron fucking snaps. Ron will realize that yet another year has gone by with nothing changing. That 2010 broadcast with him lying in a corner of the studio was radio gold. The fact that he had a cold just made it funnier.

[@jennpenn5]

aromardu I love that clip. It's the only time Ron was sufficiently honest with Fez about his bullshit and shut him down.

[@aromardu]

Yeah, after a long unrelated monologue/dialogue with Hicks, Fez pipes in immediately with his problems and Ron just goes "This is the only thing you've been wanting to talk about every since you got into the studio today." So deadpan and annoyed.

[@bdelectr7411]

What a surreal ending. This really is some of the greatest radio in history, I'm happy to have been a part of it.

Two hours of homoparanoia. I love you, Steven Knight.

[@lt.finglefubledingler1972]

@Karol D I think in this context its the belief that every use of that f word is all about gay people. The reason the n word and f word are different is because the n word never had multiple meanings. The f word was used the same way the word “pussy” is used OR was used as a derogatory word for gay. The f word just has a more aggressive sound to it than pussy. All this banning language thing comes down to is how aggressive a word sounds, the actual meaning of the word is irrelevant Why do you think F.U.C.K. has always been considered the worst swear? It’s because you have to grit your teeth to say it

These callers are so fucking clueless. You can't make a dent into Fez's crazy mind with compliments. He is either going to meet Ron and co. halfway and own his shit or continue to be the black hole of self pity.

RIP Fezzie. Still to this day I don't know which of these Fez clips were "real" or radio bits, either Fezzie was the best actor in the history of radio or a mental trainwreck that still managed to make great radio. Either way, he will be missed.

[@BalotelliFan713]

[@jennpenn5]

Only someone as narcissistic as Fez could be victimized by a word (allegedly) said by someone he doesn't even know. How does this affect him?

[@Fluer-de-Lis]

He fed off of the power he held over Ron, SiriusXM and the listeners. He seemed to have realized that if he kept the focus on himself he could continue to have people give him non stop attention. His narcissism forces him to direct all conversations back to him.
