Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Friday Format

This is the second week of the new format for the Clone Report on Fridays. It consists of a very brief review of today's show, an Interview of the Week, a Top 5 Funniest moments on the show this week, and today's text contest.

Today

Jim began by talking Olympic hockey. Other topics were LeBron James talking in the third person and Mark McGuire's brother's book. Jim interviewed Grant Hill of the Phoenix Suns and Pierce McGuire, who is an analyst for NBC's coverage of Olympic hockey.
Also, Eddie in Boise got on hold early in the show. Jim again described Eddie as a boxer who gets knocked down, but keeps getting up.
When Eddie got on, he acknowledged the reaction he has gotten from the clones. He said he didn't care, and he calls the show because he likes it and has been listening since Jim's days in San Diego. He then took on Craig in Tampa who had E mailed the show about Eddie.

Interview of the Week

John Daly
   I have to go again with a guy who doesn't give "canned" answers. John was honest and up front about his lap band surgery and subsequent weight loss. He spoke candidly about his negative feelings for Butch Harmon. Finally, he let Jim know, in a classy way, that the song of his that Jim had knocked over the years was about "Make a Wish" and a cancer survivor.

Top 5 Funniest Moments of the Week

5. Tiger Woods Robot/Cyborg take.
      Jim compared Tiger at one point to a robot from the movie "Total Recall".
4. err vs ERRRR!
      Caller Mark in San Diego used "errr" quite a few times in his call before
      getting run. Later Jim compared his lower volume and weaker "errr" to
      Rachel in Houston's well known and NASCAR sounding "ERRRR!".
3. Ugly Bob gets BLOCKED! (from the E mail)
      After getting warned Monday (see 1a + 1b) Ugly Bob came in Wednesday
      with, "I realize that there is a lot going on in the sports world today...
      but....do you have a "Boner" update?" (Of course Jim's reaction added to
      the moment.)
1a. Ugly Bob's text from Monday: "Hey Rome. I want to take the opportunity
      to thank Tiger Woods for allowing me to play the role of his mother at his
      presser Friday. Yours, George Takei."
1b. Jim's reaction: "Hey Bob. You are one more horrific text from getting
      BLOCKED into your next lifetime...That was regrettable, irresponsible,
      unacceptable, unfunny, uninspired, unreadable, and even beneath you,
      Ugly Bob. Robert, stop!"

Friday's Text Contest Selections

"Unwar me trying to see that pic of Stew and having freaking freeze my Blackberry."

"Rome. You're right. No one should ever go third person unless his name is Ricky Henderson. If he is Ricky, then Ricky should go third person every chance Ricky gets."

"Captain Rome. Eddie is like those rotting pirate corpses hanging from trees outside of town as a warning to other pirates, 'Bad callers stay away'." Rick in Rock Island.

Triple U Sponsor: "That dude that left work early today and said, 'See you next month'." B Mac in the 804

Actual Triple U: "Hey Jim. LeBron talking in third person is sooo amateur hour. Try talking in 4th and 5th person. Signed Hershel Walker."

Result: Jim said, "That's definate Triple U. It's not enough to get you blocked. It's just unfunny, uninspired, and unreadable."
