On this special episode of The Ron Burgundy Podcast, Ron Burgundy and his co-host, Carolina Barlow, take questions and calls from fans. Carolina is hesitant: āYou shouldn't talk to strangers,ā she tells Ron, āand I don't mean people in general shouldn't. I mean you, specifically, shouldn't.ā But Ronās been wanting to do this for a long time, so they give it a shot. First, several listeners reached out to Ron on Twitter to ask for his advice on several topics. Ron understands, saying that he gives great advice, especially when he gives Carolina fashion tips. Carolina isnāt so sure: āYou just threw my shoes out the window, and I actually had to walk to my car barefoot.ā Ron brushes it off, saying, āEveryone comes to me for advice, love advice, fashion advice, raccoon advice.ā Heās excited to share his advice with all his listeners, and then go into the control booth and āpress all the buttons.ā
Ronās first question is what a handsome man can do to celebrate his sixth wedding anniversary. āFirst of all, good to know youāre handsome. Iām handsome too. Iām glad weāre talking, handsome to handsome,ā Ron says. āWhat I would say is that women love surprises.ā Carolina agrees, suggesting a romantic surprise like a getaway trip or even just flowers and a card. Ron starts snoring, telling her, āYour advice put me right to sleep.ā Instead, he suggests dressing up like Satan, hiding in a cupboard -- āone that your wife opens a lotā -- and then jumping out when she least expects it. āNow thatās a surprise!āĀ
Another Twitter user asks Ron if itās okay that he āreally, really, reallyā believes that zombies are real. āOf course thatās a good thing,ā Ron replies. āZombies are real, and Iām prepared for that zombie apocalypse...I donāt travel with a spare tire in my trunk, but I do travel with a crossbow.ā Carolina immediately makes a note to take that away from Ron at the earliest opportunity, but Ron brags that sheāll never be able to find it because he hides it behind a ācool false panel.ā After a pause, he realizes, āWell...now Iāve told you.āĀ
Another listener asks Ron whether he should get an emu or a llama as a pet. Neither, Ron says: āEveryone should just look into getting a raccoonā because theyāre easy to train. Ron says heās even gotten them to sort his recyclables from his trash, āand every Thursday night, they take my trash cans to the curb and, by God, every Friday morning, they bring them back...I donāt think an emu or a llama is going to do that.ā Carolina wants Ron to point out that there is a high risk of being infected with rabies if you try to domesticate a raccoon, and Ron admits that that is true.
Then, Ron takes calls from listeners. āThe topics range from cheese, to golfers from the ā70s, and wolf-dog hybrids...dinner-table issues for folks.ā He asks Kelly from New York if she ever goes to the store āhoping theyāre going to have free cheese samples and then just gorge and leave without paying anything?ā Kelly says definitely: āThatās actually the entire reason that I am a Costco member.ā John from Troy, New York goes down memory lane with Ron, talking about golfer Hale Irwinās āgreat pants,ā and Ron offers to stop by Johnās house to watch old golf tournaments on VHS. With Victoria, Ron recommends a ārare Parisian cheeseā called Velveeta; when he tried it, he says, āI thought I was walking on a cloud.āĀ Ā
Join Ron, Carolina, and several fans of the show to hear more of Ronās incredible advice, Carolinaās great accents that really impress Ron (āCarolina doesnāt have a lot of talents. Sheās like a plow horse, but this is your real shining moment. Youāve got these voices down!ā), and how āDill Havartiā sounds like a 70s golfer, on this episode of The Ron Burgundy Podcast.
