What is Ron getting at when he keeps saying that Shepard needs the job?

Why is Ron allowed to laugh when Dickerson & Price aren't?! What's so funny, Ron?

Ron's not taking any more (non-existent) callers.

Martin and Ron messed up Mark-From-Warren's weekly imitation of Helen Thomas. First with the phone problem, then the inane chatter afterwards.

Yeah, their banter in these matters always follows the same, cringeworthy script. Whatever is the opposite of chemistry, these two have it in spades.

The new Tigers PR guy’s job must be on the line. He doesn’t know who Ron is. That Mike Ilitch “idolized” him.

Ron again promised a guest next week, even though he says the “people love the open line.”

Kurt, give it up, Ron will never turn on Avila. Now he’s saying we need to give him another 2-3 years. Remember that the next time he rails on others for being homers, & that he, alone, tells it like it is.

At what point - if ever - does Kurt realize that Ron is talking out of his ass?!

And when exactly did Ron have this discussion with Steve Stone - who he respects more than anyone else in baseball - about how highly he rates the Tigers organization?! Can’t be any later than 2019.

Ron’s going to get “rid of email” if he doesn’t get more than the one email (from Martin) a day.

I caught a bit of Friday’s show. At the top of the noon hour when Martin was giving the station ID, he referred to Ron as “Ron Cammon”. I also enjoyed the ad read that he said “formerly-runned” instead of “family runned”. After I heard some paper shuffling, I had to get back to work. Riveting radio!

I was looking for some information on Norm Plummer, who got Ron started on the radio, and found this interesting link from a book about Detroit sports broadcasters:

https://books.google.com/books?id=oJR_6 ... WJ&f=false

It lands on a page that talks about Plummer (page 88). Scroll up a little and you'll see an interesting blurb about Cameron (page 82).

I'm trying to remember the name of the guy who used to e-mail several times a show when Ron was on WDTK. I think he was real because he called in one day.

Well, Ron remains "bombastic," even if his guests are no longer "top-notch" and his comments no longer "insightful."
