this is what I was listening in traffic today. D-man and the motivational speaker with the acronyms are really something fucking else.
Honeydew melon, my friend. If that's your fantasy... Enjoy.
If Fez wasn't gay he was better than Andy Kaufman himself.
Yes.
I mean, I don't see why people always say this like it's mind blowing. Fez was a theater kid, a student of pro wrestling, in fact Andy Kaufman didn't hold a candle to some of the double/triple worked shoots Ron&Fez pulled with a straight face.
He wasn't some ugly shy man at his peak. He could have got many women or men. Even Earl was able to have sex with some women.
This is all explained by him being an aspie narcissist loner. Fez avoided things he didn't like at all costs.
No woman (or man) met his expectations to be good enough for him. Rather than settle, he simply kept himself out of the game as a VolCel.
He did this with many aspects of his social life too. He'd forgo experiences because they didn't fit into his specific routine, or didn't meet his standards. He was a weird guy ontop of playing up his weirdness for a gimmick in the name of radio entertainment.
Ron passive-aggressiveness towards Fez was mostly after a lot of shows with Fez not talking a single word.
Ron had been doing it to Fez since the move to satellite. On FM radio, Bennington felt like he was "in" on everything and helping Fez promote it all. Once they hit satellite, Ron saw himself in a different light and started sandbagging Fez. Ron treated Whatley like he was his live read boy, somebody to kick around to kill time, and then put him on the backburner when he runs dry.
It took its toll on Whatley and became a vicious cycle wherein Fez wouldn't even try, because everytime he did try, he was shot down by his hero.
Again, Fez avoided doing things he didn't like... when he would lock up, Bennington was then given an excuse to go from shooting his ideas down to straight up mocking him for trying to get a bit off the ground. (A bit that Ron would've been all-in on just a few short years prior.)
Fez's downfall can be traced directly to Bennington's mid-life crisis.
