    I always felt like Ron was the cool kid at school protecting Fez from the jocks, because Fez was the geek, but Fez wasn't really the geek, he was an interesting, funny, smart gay bear that no one paid attention to. Ron comes off as a tough guy from Philly, but he cares about people, he loved Fez, I bet it took a lot for him to say it on air. I bet he never said it before and I bet Fez was over the moon hearing Ron tell him he loves him.

I like how the poster left in the Homestar Runner line, and the XM outro "You know what you've been doing? You've been listening to the Ron and Fez show." Yep. I have. Since WNEW, the Ron & Fez dot com days, at least, I have. All good things must come to an end.

    This show has been off the air for almost 3 years at this point. I was a regular listener for 10 years. It was my favorite radio show of all time. I really wish that we could get updates on how Fez is doing. He is living in Pinellas Park, FL? Living alone? Has he dated anyone? Is he working? Does he miss NY, or radio at all? Is he any happier these days? So many questions that I wonder about. The Bennington show is good, but it's not the same.

    • @georgetrapp6666

      I hope I am not Captain Obvious, by telling you, Ron does the Bennington Show, with his daughter Gail, with Chris Stanley (formerly known as Pepper Hicks), Earl Douglas, and Vito Calise (former intern and costar of the Vine soap opera with intern Nerys). Ron does occasionally read aloud text messages from "Someone Who Does Not Lead A Public Life" on the air. When Gail announced her pregnancy, Fez broke radio silence to call the show, and congratulate her. And a few months ago, the Bennington Show did a live gig, where they recorded and played it on the air, there was a very special guest star, and reunion. I do believe he wore the gold jacket and the namesake hat.
