Latter day R&F: three enormously fat men grunting, groaning, and making mouth noises
- Thread starter Dummy Gaynuts
- Start date
I started on the o&A related segments than the earl stuff. Even to this day I find Earl absolutely one of the weird people on earth. This is from the Bennington era and just before covid hit ( they mention corona and maybe doing the show from home during it)
I’d start with everything related to Dave and then Earl. Listen to the two email scandals pretty quickly. Skip “producer of the year” because Dave is just wildly overacting and it sounds dumb.
Black Earl content is so good. He's a lunatic. Somehow he got a decent job instead of awkwardly bagging groceries.
I wish I could have seen Fez pursing his lips and blatantly ignoring people when they were talking directly to him. It had to be surreal
I've only listened to a little Ron and Fez. Did Fez just lose his fucking mind one day? He sounds relatively normal if closeted in the stuff I listened to. Also, Earl is insane.
I think he came out to Dave and Hicks in 2008 or thereabouts, that seemed to have broken his brain beyond repair. He also lived an incredibly depressing life which took its toll. It feels like it happened overnight but it took around 5 years from what I remember. At the end he would literally leave the studio mid show to wander the halls. His biggest cause while insane, you guessed it, censoring speech.
What was so depressing about his life? Like, a lonely cat guy or something? I've been trying to listen to as much R&F as possible the last few months but that's like maybe 10 hours a week. Going to take awhile to get caught up on everything.
He was basically a hermit (with a cat who said cookie) who ordered the same food from the same diner everyday. The only vacations he took were to, literally, go sleep in his childhood bed in Florida. I loved Fezzie but he was really fucked up. Hit the archives from 2008 on, you will become addicted quickly
You have to listen to them back when they were normal to appreciate how crazy it gets later on. Don't start with any Sirus stuff, start when Fez was totally normal earlier on in the early 00s WNEW days. Billy Staples stuff is a great place to start:
Edit, changed it to the correct video link
