The end of Friday’s episode of the Opie and Anthony Show and then the Ron and Fez Show on Sirius XM radio made for some very uncomfortable radio. It all started when Earl Douglas, the executive producer of the Ron and Fez Show, and Fez made a visit to the Opie and Anthony show to promote a stupid bit they were doing involving Fez not communicating for a whole week.
Opie wanted to try to get Fez to say something. Earl told Opie that he wouldn’t allow that to happen. While Opie was distracting Earl, some of the Opie and Anthony producers (they have at least 15 producers) were doing their best to get Fez to crack. I think they were spraying some type of foul smelling substance on him. When Earl turned around and saw what was going on, he attempted to come to Fez’s aid.
It was at this point that something happened. What actually happened is hard to say. Earl either fainted or he was knocked down and he hit his head on the ground, causing him to black out.
When Earl came to, he claimed to not remember what happened. At this point someone called for the EMTs. They quickly arrived and decided to take Earl to the hospital. They placed him in a wheelchair and took him downstairs to an awaiting ambulance.
When the Ron and Fez Show began at noon, Fez was still keeping the lame silent bit going. This required Ron to do all the talking which mostly revolved around how Earl was faking the whole thing. According to Ron, the EMTs knew that Earl was faking his injury when they carted him off in the wheelchair.
Ron then talked about the meetings that Sirius XM management was having with members of the Opie and Anthony show. He told listeners how he barged into the meeting and explained to management that Earl was faking the whole thing. That he had done this before. That he had simply fainted and was too embarrassed to admit it.
Earl is kind of famous for his fainting. He once fainted because of the smell of Febreze.
Two hours later, Earl was back from the hospital. The fact that he was released so quickly from the hospital seemed to infuriate Ron. It seemed to confirm his opinion that Earl was faking. Ron argued that if the doctor thought there was even a chance that Earl sustained a head injury, they wouldn’t have released him so quickly.
Earl still claimed to not remember what happened. This just made Ron even more angry. Fez then broke his silence to back up Ron’s assertion that Earl was faking the whole thing. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Fez sound so angry.
The show ended with nothing being resolved. Earl still claimed to not remember anything and Ron and Fez insisted that Earl was faking. At least it brought an end to the whole Fez being silent bit.
