After sleeping on it, the only thing he could’ve been referring to is drugs. Positive for drugs. And frankly that speaks to the type of joke Ron would say. If you take everything into account of who the guy is, and not look at it like he’s trying to make an aids joke, he’s probably simply making a drug joke that unfortunately for him also came with a double entendres not intended. Like others have pointed out, it’s a lame improv joke. Being on the CBC he should explain himself briefly but he shouldn’t lose his job at all on this. He’s a professional in many ways and there’s little chance he had what people are referring to, on his mind when he made the joke. He shouldn’t have to apologize either. It was a joke that could be misconstrued but if that wasn’t his intention, no apology needed.
