There's a thread titled "2023 Predictions" where the length of this thread has come under attack. I tried to defend us.

Thanks for your efforts, Bobbert. If lidoshuffle only knew that the "793 pages of useless B...S." doesn't even include the 80 deleted pages from the initial thread!

To return to the recent theme involving posted songs speaking to our "devotion," here's yet another one, which, as I consider Ron's fealty to Al Avila, could also serve as Ron's theme song:

Will Cowboy remember that tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of Roberto Clemente's plane crash death as he was seeking to deliver relief supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua? Is that also how Cory Lidle perished?

And will Ron piggyback the mention of Clemente to talk about his great friend, the (NOT) HOFer Howie Haak?

I'd like to imagine the ghost of Haak emerging to put Ron in his place:

It will be interesting to see if Ron equates Lidle's fatal joy ride around Manhattan with Clemente's tragic mission of mercy.

I have a book about baseball scouting titled "Dollar Sign on the Muscle." I was just reading the section about Haak. The author kept referring to Haak's old school attitudes and crude personal habits (like excessive swearing and messy tobacco chewing). It makes perfect sense that Haak and Ron became good friends.

Thanks for chiming in on that thread. We've done a good job of giving examples of how the Ron Cameron thread continues on and on and on...

It really is bad that these podcasts have never gotten updated. If Ron actually have a f@ck about his show and his advertisers, he’d make sure to get these updated. It’s kinda led me to have a severely lowered interest in SportsTalk, even though I can read about each episode here.

Ron's remembrances of Barbara Walters:

"She was great, but she would have been even greater if she had asked her interviewees about their greatest thrill."

"She was one of the few people whose broadcasting career compared in length to mine."

[Bobbert]

As we say goodbye to 2022, let us remember two memorable moments.

My personal favorite call—on Sunday, March 6—in which Bill from Livonia says that Ron's show is "terrible," and Ron tells Bill to "stick it." The fun starts at about the 20 minute mark.

Sunday, July 24 was the day that the Buzzboard was officially banned from Ron's show. The announcement of the ban starts at about the 1 minute mark. Unfortunately, the first part of the call was not recorded—a great loss of historical source material.

In all due modesty, the July 24, 2022 broadcast has a phone call from me starting around the 25:21 mark. This was my first attempt to get more podcasts available via WDTK's website. Ron maintained that the podcasts were available. The show started off with a call from "Mr. Positive," only to have Mr. Cameron make a preemptive statement, telling "Mr. P" not to mention the buzz board.

Since Ron & Barbara were both big stars in the ABC firmament of the late '70s, perhaps their paths crossed. How Ron escaped Barbara's radar for her annual "10 Most Fascinating People" specials will always be a mystery.

Looks like Bill heeded Ron's directive to never call back again. I love Ron's comeback that if his show's so bad, why is he the longest running sports talk show host in the world?! As if radio stations across the globe have been clamoring to secure his talents all these years.

That was a pretty dramatic opening. I think it started something like this:

Ron: Our first caller is Mr. Positive. Before you say anything, Mr. Positive, I want to talk to you about something.

Mr. P: What's that?

Ron: I don't want you mentioning this buzz talk or whatever it's called on the show anymore.

I think the podcast picks things up after that.
