Title: Fred from Brooklyn....
Post by: Andy on June 24, 2007, 10:50:38 PM: I don't think he's called for a while, so this may not be timely, but:
There is a caller to the Ron and Fez show who goes by the handle of "Fred from Brooklyn" who is a lot more coherent than TBSOWFMU's Fred, but who's voice sounds almost identical to me. I'll get a sound clip the next time I hear him for comparison, but I was going through the photos on ronfez.net from a recent event and found this:

Almost.

That guy does look like Fred from Queens sounds.

maybe he works in brooklyn and lives in queens and his handle literally refers to where he's calling from at that precise moment...?

Ha! Gertrude!

Re: a more coherent Fred voice, he dropped most of his "Fredness" when he called the night The Kid went down with his kidney stone. My guess is that is closer to the voice he uses when calling The Ron and Fez program.

Maybe what happened in Vegas *should* stay in Vegas.

Define "marry".
