Is this something new? I haven't been listening to the show that long. They're on live right now, they even mentioned Florida winning the football game.
Fez is attempting to go 7 days without talking. He started at 1pm est on Thursday, so they wanted to do a live show at midnight to check on his status.
Ron and Fez are great concerning the timing of live shows. They go live during some special events such as the election and as you mentioned after last nights game. VERY COOL.
