Unpopular opinion, Bennington isn't terrible?

[fusciasomething]

LIstened to the shows this week for Fez, today's show wasn't terrible. Shitting on Earl and gimmicky shit I miss in radio. Anyone else listen?

edit: holy fuck did I make a mess of this

 

[Oogie Farts 1488]

Yeah its not too bad but i usually skip the part of the show where they have a guest. I like Ron and I like Chris Stanley and Earl too. Majority of the time I could give a fuck less about their callers or guests though

 

[Brooke Shields]

I have it on a watch-later

not sure if i really want to...

Is Gail still a hole?

How often is the daughter on? Love Ron but that's a dealbreaker

Usually? All the fucking time. However getting a nice break from her now because shes on maternity leave

 

[DMAN]

I've probably listened to a combined 1 minute of her in total, I steer clear of any "orange man" crutch comedy.

Go back to any Bennington episode and Gail takes you out of the show every time.

I understood crying over Fez. She knew him her whole life... but Bowie/Prince dying was especially pathetic.

"Nooooo! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Oh shut the fuck up, theater kid. Stuff another cake in that horn.

She was perfectly fine when she would sit in towards the end of R&F, but she's not daily host material.

She was handpicked because she was the only host that Fez would tolerate being replaced by.

I should have been more specific, of course I mean when Gail is out. She is unbearable and somehow, in spite of zero talent, takes over the show. When she is out however is not unlistenable

Someone should edit Gail out of the shows and put them on YouTube.

What's the snappy title like Nopie? Cancer free Bennington maybe?

The best I could think of is an Un-hole-y show.

If I'm Sirius it's "premium content for 2 months=Bennington". Whiskey doesn't make me creative unlike rIC, sorry

 

[AntsBatteryCharge]

Besides the recent Fez memorial show, I've only heard a few Bennington clips. They were mostly lackluster, and Gail adds nothing aside from fat girl noises, but I did like when they made fun of Joe's People's Court appearance. Hey Earl, we got any funny Bennington Show clips back there?

 

[guest]

I got tired of everyone in the studio who wasn't Ron. Last I heard, Vito was literally crying about Kobe Bryant dying.

Same thing with The Bonfire. Bringing in the dippy girlfriend of an insecure host is bad enough, but fuck off with your producer's dull life every day.

"Hey, Sam. What'd you have for dinner last night? "

Actually you know what? There's a perfect name for a Bennington show with a silent partner: "Ron and Fez"

#RIPBigCat hope you're having a Western Burger in heaven this Friday

I can tune Gail out until she takes the stick for a long period of time. Then I want to impale myself with a Chinese guitar.

Ron still has it in him. This isn't a Stern-esque decline, where Howard just showed his cards that he fooled everyone for years and was never genuine - Ronnie is in the twilight, wanted to work with his daughter (who yes, was handpicked by Fez supposedly), do his thing and just live easy after busting his ass for years. Even weak Bennington is light years better than the last decade of Stern.

So I admire him in a way, because when Gail is out, you do hear that Ronnie has the energy and drive in him. It's just kept on reserve. I love that whole crew (again, minus Gail), even if they did get more pussified.

I still wouldn't listen every day though. I'm not a masochist.
