Hey, welcome to the Happy Ramp Podcast. I am Ted Cluck, joined in studio by Barnabas Piper and Ronald

J Martin. Boys, good to have, good to have you both here, man.

Good to have the entire group back.

A long time.

Yeah, there's been a long time.

It's been a long time.

Hasn't...

About Ronnie's whereabouts and commitment to a podcast.

Well, because your absence coincided with your work with our previous co-host. People were wondering if maybe you were withdrawing from us to go

invest in that and we didn't believe that to be the case but we couldn't confirm or deny these rumors either

Yeah, these are a man. It's been a tough week. It's been a tough week for rumors. I mean, I'm you know

This is like this is us and people magazine, know level. Yeah, this is tabloid stuff Ron. Do you want to do you want to speak to that at all? I mean you know

You know what I have any statements to make as you well no big tea I have an agent and my agent has told me to not comment on this.

So I'm just going to leave it at that and we're just going to do our podcast like we always do.

And sometimes Big R has to take a brief hiatus and that's just that's just how we roll through it

and speaking to the person the buzz around this thing is just magnificent you

know everywhere I go.

It's probably, I mean, did you have to take the last week off and just field questions all

week?

It's tough.

I just had to, yeah, I couldn't even go to class really. I just had to teach via Skype. So I'm actually just doing everything via Skype.

I can't even imagine what the students were saying. You probably have to... Oh, dude. Yeah, unbelievable.
