I’m not gonna lie, in those dark days of 2020, as Ron got back up and running and on the air after the “Cova” took over the world, I used to listen to his Sunday show all the time as I ran up the miles on my bicycle out on Hines Dr. It was a weird world out there, and SportsTalk was a decent soundtrack.
The Sunday shows became end of the week, a late afternoon, evening tradition for me

I can see Kurt hanging out at Spring Training, thus too preoccupied to call.

Perfect representative clip for this show: Ron's stubborn defense of a game official.

Perfect flashback segment
Yes, Ron with his kneejerk support for umpires/referees.

I miss those roundtables we used to have on Sunday mornings before his Sunday evening show.

What about Keith? Meredith? Harry? Bicyclist Matt? So many people missing.

This 2nd hour should be bought for by the Umpires/Referees Association in conjunction with the Jake Rogers fan club.

Yeah, some of those time slots (and the changes brought on by Ron’s “fluidity”) worked out better than others for me…the post-show recap, as I’d scroll through the pages of play-by-play from the Buzzboard almost made up for missing the show and/or lack of podcasts.

Actually, Martin, blocking people on X/Twitter didn't help to promote the show.

A possible gathering of fans may be in the offing. I'd be in.

The lack of any ability to locate/notify next-of-kin to proceed is a sad part of this story.

A memorial service for Ron would make a Dean Martin roast look bland in comparison.
