The Ron & Fez Interviews Thread

Dan · Post by **Dan** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 7:47 pm

If you're a fan of my Unmasked thread, then you should like this. Ron & Fez host a daily uncensored show on Sirius XM Satellite Radio (XM channel 202 and Sirius channel 197). It's a topical show on the days events along with hilarious banter and thought provoking topics.

They get some great guests that join them in studio and on the phone. I will post some of those interviews in this thread.

Ron Bennington is a big fan of indie films, music, sports, reading, food, etc... If you listened to him long enough you would think he has knowledge on just about everything.

Fez Whatley is a big comic book and wrestling fan.

Combined, the show brings you guests from all of their interests.

Ron handles the majority of the interviews and you'll soon understand why he was given the hosting job of the Unmasked shows. He's just a fantastic interviewer. Fez stays quiet through most of the interviews except to plug whatever the guest is promoting.

I hope to continue updating this thread with old and new interviews as long as there remains interest.
I have over 70 gigs worth of Ron & Fez shows, so I have plenty of material to upload.

June 27, 2002 - Rutger Hauer

Rutger stopped by to promote a sci-fi convention he was attending.
Anthony of the Opie & Anthony show was also in-studio as he frequently sat in with Ron & Fez drinking beer and having fun. Forty minutes into the interview, Ron, Fez, and Anthony leave the studio to "fix the coffee machine" leaving Rutger alone to take calls. Could they be prank calling him from another room?
