Paper Clip Pinky
Good to hear from you (via the show, of course) again Ron. Nice the way the how is interspersed with audio from your b-ball playing friends. Come on, geek-out and let us know what you used to record when you were out and about?

Ron, this was the first time I have been on Griddlecakes Radio.com. You are amazing. Your reporting was concise, entertaining and fun. Your description of us, old guys, was right on. I really enjoyed the music in between takes.
You have an avid fan that will listen to other stories. I may suggest that you take out a small ad in the CC weekly bulletin so other people can be entertained.
I grew up and continue listening to “talk radio”. Your commentary reminded me of something that Andy Rooney did on 60 minutes. So, among your other names, I am dubbing you the “Andy Rooney of Corpus Christi.”

It’s amazing what you can do with office supplies and duct tape. OUCH!
What happened to the “Other” Ron? I expected his snarky comments during your operation. Was his contract not renewed for the 4th season?

Ron, Thanks for the new episode. Wonderful as always. You
are such a great storyteller! I am staying subscribed forever,
and will cherish any new episodes you can offer whenever
you feel like doing one.
I have to say that I wondered where The Other Ron was too.
Tell him he was missed!

Great podcast, Ron. Whatta bunch of characters your basketball buddies are. I would encourage that Mike guy to seek a career in the medical profession. Seems to be on the ball.
I like the way this kind of storytelling just slows everything down. We’re so used to the slam-bang pace of TV and movies. Very entertaining.

This was a lot of fun, Ron! I loved it. The quality of your audio was pretty impressive.. and your story was really great to listen to.
p.s. Your voice has deepened since 7th grade. Who KNEW?!!

Thanks again,
Jake

Hey Ron,

I love your show. But try to get them out a little sooner. I’m suffering from the suspense, from lack of show. Because of your podcast, I listen to Bells in the Batfry almost as much as yours.
