He was pretty good on WCAR (1130) back in the day, but man, that was 45 years ago.Bobbert wrote: ↑Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:43 amWDTKMega Hertz wrote: ↑Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:53 pm793 fucking pages. In all my years here, I've never seen any thread with that many posts.
Where the hell does he broadcast at?
The bizarre nature of the show keeps the thread going.
Recently, his time slots have been bouncing around because of Wayne State sporting events, and Ron's flustered, angry reactions to these changes are as entertaining as anything else on the program.
He's constantly talking about opening a new restaurant and getting knee surgery, but apparently, one of these things must happen before the other thing happens. A Catch 22 situation that will probably go on forever.
He has three regular callers who all have strangely unique personalities. Two of them (Cowboy from Windsor and Mr. Positive) have also made appearances on other radio shows. The third (Kurt from Fraser) is always arguing baseball with Ron and usually has to be shouted down to stop talking and hang up. Mr. Positive has tried to publicize the Buzzboard thread in his calls, but Ron has told him to stop mentioning the Buzzboard, because of the "bullcrap" that has been written about him there.
I admit, it is a very acquired taste, but Ron keeps giving us a lot of material to laugh at, satirize, and ridicule, so the thread will keep going as long as Ron is on the air.
As for my predictions, I predict "more of the same" as we are mired in mediocrity. Case in point, all of the green talent on WWJ. WJR running "Best of's" all week, instead of giving fill-in hosts a shot. Put Harper and Kam Karmen in Guy Gordon's shift for a couple days, to promote the new Saturday show, for instance. But hey, I get it, they don't work for free. The ridiculous "news anal-yst" format is a joke too, and seems to be falling flat even with the hosts themselves.
WWJ “green talent”? All of the front line weekday anchors are veterans with decades of experience, and are at the top of their game. A few new reporter/producer hires are green, yes. But thats happening everywhere.
