Re: Ron Cameron
Maybe Ron could "umpire" soccer....if he could ride around on an Amigo. He'd call "strike one" on a player, and call the goalie "out".

Re: Ron Cameron
Ron needs to read obits on the air. He probably had them all on his show.
Re: Ron Cameron
Stopped listening to the show when Ron forbid Mr Positive to mention the buzzboard and Luke would not put buzzboard callers on the air.Read this thread religiously though.The posters on this board are great.Lmao at Willie's post.
Re: Ron Cameron
Although he wasn't on this weekend, I'm hoping Mr. Positive's now Mr. On the Road to Recovery.

Re: Ron Cameron
As we head into a month since the podcasts have been posted/updated, and if it is true as Ron said that the podcasts are updated by WDTK, and not his responsibility, it’s amazing WDTK can decorate that page with “seasonal snowflakes” dancing across the page, but the podcasts can’t be updated.
Re: Ron Cameron
Another meeting with Ron and the PD again:
Ron: I've been getting complaints, especially from my sponsors that these things called podcasts aren't being updated. This thingy called the station website, whatever that is, is updated with a Christmas theme, SO I'VE HEARD. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!!! MY DEMANDS NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATLY....BECAUSE I AM THE WORLD FAMOUS RON CAMERON.....THE SPORTS TALK RADIO LEGEND!!!!!!
PD: It's Christmas Ron, we have to make it look festive. OUR clients love it. The holidays are when we make the most money. Certain podcasts have priority.
RON: What a load of b***s**t!!!!! I don't care if it's Bea Arthur's birthday!!!!! What I bring in keeps this station from having the plug pulled on it. The only reason 10 people have ever heard of this station is because...I'M RON CAMERON.....THE SPORTS TALK RADIO LEGEND. Priority??? I'm #1 priority...AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT MEATHEAD. Keep it up and I'll tell the Fenton Hotel to go get the ghost of Al Capone in here, and he'll straighten out this popcorn fart station!!!! GET IT!!!!!! If it wasn't for me, this station couldn't pay the electric bill. AND...I WANT 3 JUMBOTRONS INSTALLED IN THE STUDIO.....NOW BONEHEAD!!!!! Ron then storms out the door, uttering expletive's by the dozen.
PD: Gets at the Jack Daniels again.

https://www.detroitmoviepalaces.com/ima ... lliott.mp3
What an interview!!!
When you have a convergence of a then-92-year old, faltering guest with a ridiculously unprepared & inept interviewer, you have the guest saying he retired about 5 years earlier as Iowa AD & Ron chiming in with the comment that he, thus, retired at around the age of 90. In reality, Bump Elliott retired in 1991, at the age of 66.
So many iterations of Ron's standard interviewing fare. Greatest thrill-type questions. What did you want to be when you were growing up. Was coaching always in your blood. While you were in the services, did you think you were going to be playing baseball & football.
Of course, there was a question about Elliott's salary, with Ron making comparisons to current-day salaries.
And Alex, you surely spent too much time learning at the knee of Ron. Concluding the show by asking a less than hale nonagenarian how many more years he expected to live ... "10 or 15 years?" Really?! That's even worse than Ron asking, as he does, "What does the future hold for Bump Elliott?"

Re: Ron Cameron
Please be cognizant of the past that when Ron was told of podcasts not being available, Mr. Cameron maintained they were being posted and as far as he was concerned was the end of the discussion.
Re: Ron Cameron
It was interesting to try to figure out how many of Elliott's answers were because of a faulty memory and how many because of a selective memory. He had the careful, diplomatic personality of someone who had been an administrator for many years.Momo wrote: ↑Tue Dec 06, 2022 7:38 pmThanks, Bobbert.Bobbert wrote: ↑Tue Dec 06, 2022 11:08 am Midweek Memories

I too was surprised at Alex's question about Elliott's age. Usually Ron asks those kinds of awkward questions. And Bump had the same kind of "Huh?" response to the "future" question that Roger Faulkner gave the other day.
Elliott apparently dodged the Cameron Curse, because he lived another couple of years after the interview. Great find on the What's My Line video—that added some more dimension to the interview.
All in all, an interesting interview that I listened to twice. Interviews like this were the main reason that I downloaded a lot of shows back in 2017, because of their historical value.

Re: Ron Cameron
Yeah, I guess I should understand that a Titan Of Brokered Radio like Ron has “people who do things for him” while he’s busy tending to other things (Match Game, anyone!?).ShempLives wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 8:28 am Please be cognizant of the past that when Ron was told of podcasts not being available, Mr. Cameron maintained they were being posted and as far as he was concerned was the end of the discussion.
