Ron Cameron

[Bobbert]

I started to listen to the prodcast of last night’s show and noticed that one minute into the show Ron reads a spot, seemingly appropriate, for dumpster rentals.

Yeah, maybe Ron can apply his famous barter technique by having one of their company trucks back up to the WDTK station during the hours when Ron is on the air. By the end of the show, it should be overflowing with garbage.

[Bobbert]

Something about last nights show, not sure what. The stories even though they are old, are really, really getting lame.

Maybe in September when football starts the old “new” stories return it will make things a bit better

But these topics are just getting old and tired

1 ilitch family idolizes me and wants my advise

2 Tiger public relations and Matt shepherd are the problems with this team

3 Cade is ok, but Halliburton is the guy

4 interviews with reporters from a specific sports area and asks questions for a entire different sport

Just my beef for a Monday, I am sure I will be tuned in on Sunday with all my fellow buzzboard brothers.

Cutting the show down to two hours will probably help. One time, the producer accidentally let in a big sigh of relief from Ron at the end of the third hour, so that last hour is probably a real grind for Ron (a feeling which flows downhill to the rest of us).

He'll probably have better luck with guests, since he's not asking anybody to interrupt their dinner (right, Denny?). Mark Wilson might even let go of his passive aggressive resistance, since he knows he'll only be on for two hours.

Honestly who cares what Rich Kincaide or Ron Cameron think.Both are irrelevant.I bet if you went out on the street and asked 100 people who these guys are maybe 1 or 2 people would know.

I was just talking to a guy, probably in his 50s, who told me he listens to 97.1 & Jim Rome, but, although familiar with Bob Page, drew a complete blank when I mentioned the name Ron Cameron.

There's No Program Like Ron's Program

(With sincere apologies to the memory of Betty Hutton, who grew up in Detroit and helped popularize the original song)

There's no program like Ron's program
There's no program that bad
Even though he's worked for fifty years
He still leaves his audience in tears
With his foul-ups and his mangled ads
Factual errors that make us sad
That someone, who's been around so long
Could make a habit, of being wrong
Blaming all his problems
On his producers
And lies about his next guests,
And lies about his next guests.

There's no callers like Ron's callers
Three call Ron every week
Cowboy, Kurt, and Mr. Positive
They all give Ron a reason to live
As they act out
All their obsessions
With clever comments
They're lots of fun
Knowing that they
Fill a most important role
They help fill Ron's airtime,
They help fill Ron's airtime.

There's no restaurants like Ron's restaurants
Most live just in Ron's dreams
Even when he finally opens one
Pretty soon it's all over and done
Then Ron's planning
Where he next will go
He won't just stick to
The things he knows
Making promises
For a new restaurant
Which usually is a lie,
Which usually is a lie.

There's no sponsors like Ron's sponsors
Most last just a few weeks
When they hear Ron mess up ad copy
They know it is time for them to flee
To a real show
With good R-O-I
Where hearing ads
Doesn't make you cry
Getting much more value
Than they got from Ron
Who wasted their money,
Who wasted their money.

There's no critics like Ron's critics
The Buzzboard is the best
Even when he tries to shout us down
We remind him we are still around
Pointing out
His many big mistakes
So what if he tells us
To jump in a lake
'Cuz we know what
Ron's show truly is
A great source of satire,
A great source of satire.

There's no program like Ron's program
It's pure self parody
He keeps saying that he is so great
But his show is often second-rate
But like fools
We all keep tuning in
To see what mud hole
Ron next steps in
He's learned nothing
After 50 years
He'll mess up his next show,
He'll mess up his next show!

Great, Bobbert! You make Irving Berlin proud. This will definitely have to be included in the Broadway musical.

This is epic, Bobbert. You are becoming legendary around here. I can’t help but imagining the voice of Ethel Merman (Ron probably never met the woman) as I read this lyric.

Bobert.What a great post.I would love to see the look on Ron's face when his stooge Luke reads it to him.

[edj]

A friend of mine contacted Casey's of Walled Lake about pulling their advertising due to Ron's treatment of us. Casey himself has never heard of Ron and wants more information. Is Luke out there hustling for Ron instead?
I will keep you updated if he hears more.

Thanks all for the kind words. The fifth verse was inspired by Ron's outbursts a week ago about us.

That is the perfect way to get back at Ron for his treatment of us.Ron gets to play sporstalk host only because of the ads he sells.No radio,station will hire him.I am sure if the sponsors knew how Ron and his lackey Luke are treating the only people who actually care about his show they would not be happy.

I was surprised to hear Ron reading a new ad for an established restaurant down in Detroit. Surprised me because usually when Ron “relocates” his living arrangements, ads from a specific geographic area seem to follow (like when he was reading the ad for a Farmington Hills hotel/sports bar in the early months of 2022). It seems like for Ron to have found this restaurant down in Detroit, he might’ve had to actually “pound the pavement” to sell the ad!

I can imagine while our zero is out pounding the pavement that he is often told to pound sand.

I am not well versed in the Italian language, but I got the sense that as Ron read the ad for the Italian restaurant that he was having trouble with the pronunciation of some of the dishes. Can anyone here confirm, or am I just nitpicking?

Oh yeah, Ron was definitely fumbling that ad, as he often does, he was adopting a certain accent or “flair” to get through the menu items he couldn’t quite pronounce!

The classic ad read for me is still the "day old scallops" - rather than "day boat scallops" - served at a French restaurant that used to advertise with Ron.
