Fred from Brooklyn....
« 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:


There you have it.  That's your man.  Fred from Brooklyn.
Breakfast- I'm havin' a time
Wheelies- I'm havin' a time
Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

I'm telling you, this is the dude.

plus, Brooklyn and Queens are basically the same thing, right?

Almost. 

That guy does look like Fred from Queens sounds.

and that's his wife! it wasn't a bit afterall.

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.

She looks confused.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Did you marry a blond with a fake tan?

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

Define "marry".

I always imagined Fred as looking like Dirty Dee from Pootie Tang.
