Happy Round. Happy Rant.

Hey, welcome to the Happy Rant Podcast.

I am Ted Cluck joined as always in studio.

By my good friends, my partner in radio, Barnabas Piper, pipe, we are without Ronald. Again, this is feeling like a,

like, kind of like a routine because Ronald is doing what Ronald does best, which is retreating, getting away, recharging.

I had an old car once, Pipe, a classic car.

It was a 74 Triumph Spitfire, so an old British convertible. And the thing about that car was it didn't work is that is that when you fell in love with all things British? Dude kind of I just I just love the lines on the car and I loved it had like a like a wood grain dashboard a push button

starter everything was real like analog and old school so it was kind of easy to

work on but that car only worked about half the time, but when it worked it was great.

You know what I mean?

And I kind of view Ronald in the same way.

Ronald's kind of on a two weeks on, weeks off sort of schedule I think with his life and

with the happy rant and when he's working he's great but he just doesn't work a

lot so kind of like that old convertible of mine, you know.

Yeah, it's, you know, there's, I'm trying to think of an athlete who he would be the equivalent to,

you know, sort of a, like the star player you get, but you're like, he's only going to be available half the time

but when he's he's like the he's the kawai Leonard of this program where like when you if you if you

properly load manage yeah dude load management is huge with Ronald.

He's a vital contributor, possibly a star player,

can lead you to high heights. But don't expect him to play all 82 games like

save him for the playoffs yeah put him in at the right moments just let him sit out

some games it's kind of a boogie cousin's quality to Ronald.
