"Fez is known as several other on air names such as Tossy McSalad, Tappy and Jinxy." Can those really be considered 'on air' names? I believe the first was just a joke and the last two are nicknames. It's not like the show was ever known as "the Ron and Tappy Show".

I have renamed that section "Fez's Characters/Aliases". Although Tappy isn't a character, it's a nickname that has been used quite a bit. I removed the "characters" that were obviously part of the bit when Ron gave Fez's friend (relative?) the list of Fez's former characters (not actual characters, but a joke on Fez). I'll remove the others once I can confirm that they were also part of it. DestradoZero 16:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

The following was added by an anonymous user that I removed:

His name is a tribute to professional wrestler Pez Whatley.

Unless Fez has said this himself, it's only speculation. If Fez did say it, then it should have a reference.

    I remember Ron bringing up Pez's death on the show, prefacing it by saying 'Fez, this wrestling death is going to hurt you the most' and calling him "Fez's namesake'.  Not conclusive evidence, but Fez clearly knows of his wrestling counterpart.
Fez drives a large van and lives in Centreville, Virginia. He lives with his cat, Fuzz Whatley, in a large house with a Tampa Bay Buccaneers decorative motif.

Again, trivial and probably untrue. Fez works in New York City... thats a 5 hour commute each way, 10 hours in total. --Kevin McManus 21:12, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

It MIGHT have been true when they were still doing their show on WJFK in Fairfax, Virgina. However, it has been stated multiple times on their XM show that he currently lives on Roosevelt Island in NYC (or, as Ron calls it, "Retard Island"). In fact, it was mentioned that when the Roosevelt Island tram broke down (as mentioned here), Fez had only missed being on it by about 15 minutes. Hossenfeffer 09:44, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Enough of the unfunny editing!

I know Opie & Anthony and Ron & Fez fans think they're being clever when they add in their inside jokes as facts to these entires, but in reality it's moronic and just plain vandalism. 24.187.134.57 04:14, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, it's a great show that deserves a serious article. save your fanboy material for fansites. --71.244.125.226 03:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

The trivia, while funny, is not encylopedic. They are just stories/bits mentioned on the show. They're great for a fan site or message board, but not Wikipedia. Please read the Guideline on citing Wikipedia:Reliable sources. If you can't provide citations, they can't be re-added. --Bill.matthews 15:53, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I think that the trivia is important, and pretty much every radio related page is just stories and bits mentioned on the show. However, rather than deleting everything unilaterally, how about working with us to source everything? That seems to be the wikipedia way, rather than just saying it cant be put in and reverting all of the changes you dont care for. Im sure all of our intentions are good here.

The trivia is not notable, and can't be sourced. Does it really matter that he hates libraries or uses a special chair when showering? This is an encylopedia, not a fan site. --Bill.matthews 04:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lutheran?

Is this person really Lutheran? If so, then at least a comment about his religion and connection to Lutheranism (whether practicing or raised) needs to be added since as the article is written right now, he could just as eaisly be claimed as just about anything. jackturner3 15:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

His religion may have been mentioned in passing on the show, but he certainly shouldn't be listed as a prominent lutheran. Wtbe7560 21:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] dumb

stupid asshole - where the hell is there a source regarding a news program that showed fezz walking around bleary eyed? the whole sentence is horribly written. It makes little sense. FIX IT OR LEAVE IT OUT YOU JERK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.142.53.227 (talk • contribs) 09:02, May 26, 2007 (UTC)

First off, don't curse or you'll be banned for life from Wikipedia; Second, CAPS is not cruise control for awesome loser.
