Momo needs to be a guest on Ron's show.Martin,Mr.Positive someone.Please make this happen.
I have a voice for silent films, so I'll pass, thanks. I remember Cowboy pitching the idea from time to time to Ron about Ron having him as guest. Ron ignored him.

Ron will have other press people doing things for him at Tiger games, thus he won’t have to go?

Where did Ron get this idea that you have to be tested first before getting the vaccine?!

In his dreams is Ron ("who?") Cameron "controversial."

As always, the drama queen. If all goes well with his first shot, he should be on tomorrow. I remember when he once got into a minor fender bender, but in his retelling - more than once - his condition was "touch & go"!

Ron says he was the first full-time sports talk show host in America. Why am I skeptical?
Because it's not true. From my research on Newspapers.com, Dave Diles had a regular sports talk show in Detroit from early 1967 to at least early 1969.

I won't even try to guess what Ron meant by "full-time".

I was hoping that someone would push Ron's buttons today over Frank Beckmann's last day at WJR, and I wasn't disappointed.

First Mr. Positive talked about it being a "sad day," which provoked a Classic Cameron outburst: "I don't give a rat's you-know-what, so why even mention him!"

Then Martin read my e-mail about Beckmann claiming to host the first sports talk radio show in Detroit, resulting in another mini-explosion from Ron and his false claim that he had the first full-time sports talk show in Detroit (Dave Diles was on several years before Ron).

Then Martin perversely asked Ron if he would like to have Beckmann on his show, knowing full well what Ron would answer.

I wonder if Ron would be provoked to be told on-air that - as it's been posted here, at least - Mark Wilson has been heard on other radio shows. But the classic blow-ups are always with his non-Alex producer "coming in" on him and, in Ron's mind, plotting to wrest control of his gold mine of a radio show.

We need to start a campaign to get Ron named to replace Jim Price on the Tigers games.

Been distracted, but just heard Ron says he repeats his stories - this one about how Gordie still knew him at the end - because, apparently, his audience keeps growing.

The theme of today's show - that which I heard, at least - seemed to be how George Kell butchered so many names.
