Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, comments, and moments from today's show

Jim started the show asking for four good calls to come in today....four racked calls. E mail reaction was skeptical that it could happen. Format was broken as Jim took a call in the first segment.

Callers

Monroe in Milwaukee

   He called to prop up his Milwaukee Bucks. He talked of their comeback from being down 0-2. He ended with, "Peace, out. Fear the Deer."

1. Jim racked him.

Chuck in the ATL

   He cracked on his own: the Atlanta Hawks, while crediting the Bucks for having "pure heart". (A term he used three times)

-Jim said the call was good, but not good enough to rack or be one of the four.

Eddie in Boise

   Jim again praised Eddie for his persistence, then took his call. Eddie said a new Smack Off fiscal year has started. He gave a shout out and congratulations to Alvin on the birth of his son. He congratulated Vic in NoCal on his Smack Off win, but also voiced his displeasure.  It wasn't a train wreck, but for some reason the manual buzzer sounded. I'm not sure why.

-Jim said he likes Eddie as a person, but said he is a bad caller. Nothing specific about today's call was referenced by Jim or those that commented by phone or E mail that I heard.

Dave in St. Louis

   This frequent E mailer made his return to the phones. He cracked on Kansas City, then put America "on blast" for the success of American Idol and Lost.

2. Jim racked him and said it was a very good call.

    (Later, E mailer Mike in Chicago weighed in, saying he is from Kansas City. 

      It looks like an E mail feud is brewing.)

Israel in LA

   This first time caller came in with a lot of energy. He talked about being in church, then proceeded to call out the caller from the Smack Off that cracked on Tim Tebow for his faith. Israel then expressed his dismay at the Lakers bench players. Lastly, he brought up Lisa in Indy. He said he is getting married soon. For some unknown reason, he told the nation that he has bunions and wanted some input on him wearing socks when he begins "wrestling".

3. Jim racked him.

Jim in Salt Lake City

   This caller began cracking on Vic in NoCal and asked if he and "Rosemary" had a good time at his Sadie Hawkins dance....AAAHHH! The buzzer fell.

Lisa in Indy

   She came in for the 3rd time in the last two weeks. She felt the need to give her measurements and responded to Israel as well as a comment by Dave in  St. Louis.

4. Jim racked her.

Jim got his fourth racked call of the day just before the clock ran out.

Smack Off

   Jim again stressed how close the Smack Off was. He acknowledged that the outcome was disliked by many. Of Vic in NoCal, Jim said, "Hate the guy...not the call...It was the best call of the day."  Jim spoke of Vic cracking on no less than 8 people, while others spent their time covering less. 

Callers

I called the show today. I said that in order for me to give Vic a congratulatory handshake, one of us would need long arms, since I am looking up at Sheryl in Austin, Ray in Tampa, and Vinny Mac. (They got in the Smack Off, while I was on hold.) Yes, that was only one Ray...down from two after his Smack Off call. One more call like that and he would be just "...in Tampa"

Boadie in Pearland

   He was on hold during the Smack Off as well. He sounded angry today. He cracked on Trapper, Jay Mohr, and Dan in DC. The call was spattered with the words "sumbitch", "idiot", and "damn". Soon we heard, "AAAAHHHHH!!!" Jim Rome ran Boadie! Jim said there were too many "sumbitch" and "idiot" references. He then said he ran him to save him from himself.

Jerry in San Antonio

   This first time caller said he has listened since 1995. He called the Tour Stops "epic", while agreeing that this was the best Smack Off ever. He  began to talk about the Spurs. Then he breathing became evident.  He told Jim, "I'm a little nervous." Jim mercifully jumped in and thank Jerry for his support and said, "Next time it's easier."

Text Contest

"War you boy Machowicz on the History Channel last night. Signed, Brian."

"Unwar 'playing hurt guy'...ankle braces, knee brace, taped fingers, and a limp...but he's always down to run a pick up game at the gym." Cheyenne in Milwaukee.

"Rome. The Smack Off was good, but next time don't invite hackers, hillbillies, or fat girls with sexy voices." Rick full of rage, non-smoker.

Triple U sponsor: "Vic submitting his high school prom picture for you website."

Actual Triple U: "Dear Jim. How could you forget when I came on and warred bums depositing rocks in the ATM? Joe Paterno."

Result: "That's really funny, but not as funny as you geing BLOCKED!...in the 310."

Smack Off 2010 Results

Vic in NoCal - King of Smack

In what Jim Rome was calling the most tightly contested Smack Off ever, Vic in NoCal emerged vic-torious (pun intended).

   In his call, he said he felt sorry for Sheryl in Austin (who called Vic out, saying she guaranteed she would finish ahead of Vic, yet she got run). Vic also said  "The Zodiac Killer" was still alive in Sierra Madre. Other targets were: Ray Ratto with his "grotesque double chin", Iafrate...glossed a "poor man's Wiggle", Brad in Corona..."not a Jungle legend..not even a myth...just a Jungle X-File", and Vinny Mac..."Mark Madsen dancing around like an imbecile."

He ended with, "...My smack is vicious. Jump out the pool on that!"

Speaking of jumping "out the pool"...I once did that...as seen here.





Facebook


Jim's Facebook page received hundreds of comments. Many people were in disagreement with the final standings of the Smack Off. Jim did say during the Smack Off that it was so close that some would be upset.

Smack Off Eve

There was a lot on the Smack Off today. One more entrant was added, and one more first time caller flamed in an attempt to get in the field.

Smack Off Promo was played again

VAN SMAAAACK! 

Callers

Kathy in Sacramento (known for her call about Brendan Ryan's mustache) called to try to get in tomorrow. She talked about women in the Jungle. She said you don't have "wrestling" without women unless you're John and Trapper. She also cracked on chauvinists and Vinny Mac.

Jim said, "Kathy...see you tomorrow!"

Josh in Grand Rapids. He finished 7th last year. Today he cracked on Boadie in Pearland and on Dana White and MMA.

Brandon in Fort Walton Beach, a first time caller, made his attempt to qualify for tomorrow. He mentioned "Texas Style" twice, told us he had his army of smack ready to go. Lastly, he said he was going to invade Trapper's retirement home...ERRR...the basement...basement of his kid's house."......AAAHHHH! the manual buzzer sounded!

Jim said, "Hey man. The lights are bright...kid got nervous. You heard it."

Text Contest

No text contest today. Instead, Rome replayed last year's Smack Off winning call from Brad in Corona.

Smack Off History

In response to an E mail request from Rick in C Bus, Jim played Jeff in Richmond's Smack Off winning call from 2002. Rome also said it gives new listeners history of the event.

In the call, Jeff self glosses (of course), talks about Tiger Woods, cracks on Silk "Bra", and does a funny Trapper impression. 

I am entertained by Jeff in Richmond. I actually prefer his 2008 Smack Off call, though. He shtick is repetitive as is his self gloss. However, he makes me laugh! I was glad he resurfaced late last year. I hope he calls Friday.

Caller

Scotty in Tampa called today. "Vine in the box. Thanks for the pimp," he started in jest. He talked about the "Full blown mutiny" that would take place in Tampa if the Smack Off was pre-empted by the local affiliate. 

Two Guys Want In

Roger in Phoenix called in wanting to get in the Smack Off. He said, "I not only can compete. I can beat...Yeah, I am dissing those 'cupcakes'...Be there, be square..."

Rome said, "...You do not have the game to compete with those guys...Those 'cupcakes' and winos still own you, my man..."

Brian in Milwaukee took his shot. He said the legends were "terrible". Of Vic in NoCal, he said, "...That guy...He is on another planet..."

Rome said, "...It's not bad. It was alright...That sure as hell isn't going to get you in."

Vic in NoCal

He said, "...Rome....This is the pre fight press conference. This is the calm before the storm..." He told Brad in Corona that he would only be wearing the crown for 48 more hours. He also imitated Brad "kissing up to Rome".  "...Mix in a little dignity and pride...," he added.

More History

Instead of the Text Contest, Jim played the 1998 winning Smack Off call by Stevie from LMU. His theme was "I am not a clone!"

Hack Off Recap

-Least surprising development: Ryan in Wichita getting run.

-Most surprising: Brendan in Wilmington....because he didn't get run. Jim also

                        said Brendan had a chance to play his way back into the 

                        Smack Off as a wildcard.

-Most Disappointing: The Canadian Star Linebacker. He was doing well when

                              he said something objectionable. Jim intimated it was

                              a racial or ethnic "imitation".

-Music did not work: There were two songs...and "both feature LT at the end."

                             Jim felt Aaron in Canton was horrible and Jesus in Chicago 

                             was neither good nor bad.

Best line of the day: Jim first said it was the CSLB's line about girls calling 

                             him again like in high school. Later, Rome said Vinny

                             Mac had the line of the day with his, "I'll stay on the line 

                             because I know I've won."

Worst line: Jolene's, "...your momma...in bulk." Right after saying this, Jim 

                then said he took it back..."...actually a pretty good line."

Result: "I'm not going to say who that's from, but I will BLOCK you!.....Personal appearances are not show fodder. Calling somebody fat or saying that they have 'neckne' is going to get you BLOCKED!"

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Hack Off 2010 (The Inaugural)
(Road Trip for me without the use of "Jungle Insider" so quotes and takes are paraphrased.)


The Hack Off started in the 2nd hour, but there was a lot of run up to it in the first hour. In fact, Jim told us some callers were on hold before 9:30 and wanting to go on right away. Jim said no! Not until the appointed time!

10:00 am PDT

Eddie in Boise

Eddie had a lead in "commercial" which he thanked "Jay Mohr" for doing which included references to the "What do we do now River" and the sponsor "Hey Vine" for when your nervous and can't get your words out. Eddie started in on "Slowlene", saying her body of work was anorexic...and something about Chewbaca and her 1974 Country Squire wagon. When he went to Vinny Mac, the hammer fell, "AAAAHHH" followed by LT. Rome said it was too long and graded the call a "C" when he is looking for an "A" or an "F".

Aaron in Canton

He came on with a song parody: A ZZ Top song with words about J. Stew being down at a Karaoke bar. It was short...then he was out. The hammer came down after, but Jim said he was run.

Rome said it was "horrible...That was crappy...It made Eddie sound like Brad in Corona...reprehensible."

Brendan in Wilmington

He started with, "It's on like Donkey Kong." He said the other "tards" had the "anti-Midas" touch. Other cracks were on Eddie's "Front butt, flabdomen, and num-nuttery."
He didn't get run and Jim therefore had to make him the one to shoot for.

The Canadian Star Linebacker

Jason in Ottawa referenced his first call as being 7 years ago in a country far north...but now it was time for the "Empire to Strike Back." He said Ben Roethlisberger could have saved a lot of money by just listening to his legendary first call. He mentioned Fabian not really being in Los Angeles...then got run!
We didn't hear his "blast" but Jim later referenced not using racial or ethnic terms. Jim said Jason blew it because he was on his way to a good call.

Ryan in Wichita

He had been BLOCKED from the E mail and text portion of the show. Rome said if he got run, he may get BLOCKED from calling the show.
Off the bat, he called someone a transexual and then called Jolene a slumbuster who was "4'10", 250 pounds...with a Tom Sellick..." "AAAHHH!"

Rome said he hated that call.

Jesus in Chicago

Jesus got on, said he couldn't sing either...but fired up his player with Steelers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You". His words were, "losers to the left of me, droolers to the right, stuck in the Hack Off with you."   "AAAAHHH!"

Jim ran him! (I thought it was a decent effort with him just getting the invite yesterday.) Rome said it wasn't a trainwreck or an "A".

Jolene in Farmington

She said something about Walmart being "your mama...in bulk", "jack offs in the Hack Off", and "everyone's BM". Jim didn't run her, saying, "I didn't like that call...but she played to her strengths."

Fabian in Los Angeles

He cited his dictionary definition for "chumps", repeated "you know, you know" many times within the span of one second, and questioned why the linebacker came after him. "I'm a proud Mexican American," he said.

Norman in Norman

He told Fabian, "...no, we don't know...Homes!",  said Eddie in Boise had "Fred FlinSTONES" and said he would see Jim next week......NOT!

Vinny Mac

Vinny came on and said that Fabian was Vic in NoCal's brother. He said something about Trapper calling himself a made man being "poppycock", then proclaimed himself a "world shaker". At the end of his call, he said he would remain on the line ...because he knows he won!

Results

5. Jolene
4. Norman
3. Flamian(Fabian)
2. Brendan in Wilmington
1. VINNY MAC...your Inaugural Hack Off winner!

Hack Off Eve

The show was loaded with calls today, both Hack Off and Smack Off related.

Jim also shared the new Hack Off promo.

Hack Off RSVPs

Brendan in Wilmington did get through today. He cracked on Boatie in Pearland, mentioned how even Wade Boggs had to go down to the minors, and pumped his own "$4200 worth of surgically replenished lettuce"!

Jesus in Chicago first got invited to the Hack Off, then called in and RSVP'd. Jim made it clear that his call had to be live and not a recorded production or parody.  Jesus said it would be but was concerned about sound quality. He said, "...if I'm gonna suck, I want to do it in stereo..."

Callers

Old schooler, Larry "the false wanker" called. He said going on after a tape of one of Jesus' songs was like "Hendrix following the Monkees".

Brad in Corona

   Out of the blue...last years Smack Off winner Brad in Corona called! He went right to the front of the line. He said he spent the better part of the last ten months going through Vic in NoCal's calls from '06 to '08 to see if he could use anything...but found nothing to his liking. He said he was prompted to call after Mike in Indy's call yesterday...and promptly cracked on him. Lastly, Brad took a run at Hack Off invitee, Vinny Mac. 

Dan In DC

   This Smack Off participant called with a problem with BetUs' long odds for him in the Smack Off. He also brought up how Vegas was wrong about the Rams in 1999.

Jeff in Phoenix (bumping around on a car phone)

   He said he'll be in next week in the Smack Off. He cracked on the Hack Off, then the music came up for a commercial....but there didn't end up being a commercial! 

Greg in Sun Valley

   I called to wonder why BetUs wasn't allowing bets on the lone cyborg in the Smack Off. I'm not even on their betting board! Also, I requested being allowed to go first in the Smack Off.

Show Close

Blaise in KC got through with an E mail: "Dear Jim, the official name of what happened to Jeff should be 'Tobin-ed'. If the music comes on, the caller gets dropped, but the show doesn't go to break, it's a 'Tobin'! 

Jim said, "...What? What are you talking about?..."

Text Contest Selections

"War a Carl in Rosemead shout out on JRIB." Chad in H Town.

Jim said, "...For the record...Where the hell is Entitlement Eric?" (Jim had actually made the requested "shout out" to Eric at the end of yesterday's TV show.)

"Triple U Sponsor: "Every classic rock station playing 'Taxman' by the Beatles every hour because it's tax day. Lame." Patrick in Denver

Actual Triple U: None today!

Smack Off Odds

BetUs.com lists odds for the Smack Off. Unfortunately, your blogger isn't even listed. Give me 10,000 to 1 at least! What, no cyborgs can be bet upon? 

Brendan in Wilmington

E mailers and Facebook posts lobbied for Brendan's inclusion in the Hack Off. Jim played the call where Brendan said he was "Barry" in Philadelphia. When Jim asks him if he was really Brendan, the guy says, "...Nah. I hate that guy. That guy's and idiot!..." 

Jim then took votes on Facebook for or against Brendan being put in the Hack Off. Meanwhile, Brendan was on hold to make his case on air.

Hack Off RSVP

The Canadian "Star Linebacker", Jason in Ottawa, called back today and did RSVP on air! He mentioned the new buzzers and proudly stated that he got run by "Whitey" Brian "Alvarez" and the original buzzer. He called out the other "Hacks", referring to them as "pathetic buffoons", yet saying of himself, "I ain't no joke."

E Mail

Mike in Chicago, "non-7wood user" said that Brendan in Wilmington is a poor mans "Greg in Vegas". Then he warred "Barbaro" in Dana Point...and again Jim played Trappers "neighing" sound.

Caller

Mike in Indy, the 2009 Smack Off runner up call with a reaction to his +4000 odds for the Smack Off from BetUs. Even Jim thought this was a typo. Mike says he has action on that! Also, he cracked on Canada...again! At the end of his call he said there was a "100% chance" of him "making it rain" on the 23rd.

Show Close

Jim didn't take Brendan's call today but told him to call back tomorrow, saying, "...It's your invite to lose..."

It was a big day with Jim interviewing Mike Krzyzewski, MMAer Urijah Faber, and Steve Elkington.

(Those interviews and Jim's sports takes of the day are at jimrome.com)

E mail

"Dear Jim, Mr. Faber scares me. Signed 'likes to fight' guy." Brian in Syracuse.

Brian has been getting a lot of E mails read lately.

Hack Off RSVP?

Jim said, "He's on hold. Now he's gone. Stew's looking for the call back. Stew just had a conversation with...wait for it...If ever there was a reason for me to drop a 'wait for it' on something...Stew just had a conversation with the, quote, 'Canadian star linebacker'...Jason in Ottawa. He told Stew he would be honored to participate in the Hack Off...We had him on hold to RSVP on air and he hung up!...So we may have found the Canadian star linebacker...maybe..."

Steve Elkington

The Jungle favorite came in for the first time in a long time. He talked, of course, about the Masters as well as his game. In a funny exchange with Jim, Elk told us that the caddies' nicknames for Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods are Hefty and The Cat. Then Elk said, "...Cat in the Jungle...that's a whole different meaning than cat on the street...There's a fair bit of...uh...loose Jungle lingo wrapped up in this..."

"War my reinstatement to E mail." Ugly Bob

Jim said, "Bob...should've thought about that before it happened. Nobody gets reinstated..."

Triple U sponsor: "The guy who comes up to you at the office and has to comment on how you got a haircut recently. Who are you, and why do you care about my lettuce, loser?"

Actual Triple U: "I am not 'likes to fight' guy. I am 'likes to eat' girl. Give Kirstie cake. Kirstie need cake now. Yummy yummy in my tummy. Hungrily, Kirstie. Signed, Cool Mac in Smack Attack.

E Mail

Jim joked that he needed to BLOCK someone in the first segment to "get right" now that he is back from vacation. He read: "Dear Jim, I just came up short at the Masters. Yours, Tiger's hair." Then he said, "You're BLOCKED! ...Adam near Toronto..."

Daddy Delloro

Zorro Delloro...is not! Alvin's wife gave birth on April 8th to Elijah Marcus Delloro. Mom and baby are well. Congrats Alvin!

Anthony Kim

The golfer came on and did a good interview about the Masters. Then he took the gloves off when Jim asked him about the Lakers. Anthony said the Lakers were playing possum. Then he said any team in the East that is sub .500 shouldn't even show up for the playoffs! "If your below .500, you're garbage...," he said.

Hack Off and Smack Off dates

The Hack Off is...this Friday! 

With only 6 RSVP's,  Jim invited a few more "Hacks": Jerome in Nashville of "BOHICA" fame, Dean in Edmonton, who theorized that Tiger Woods staged his  problems because he really wanted to retire, Norman in Norman, who made the 2009 "Not!" call, and...on the bubble: Jason in Fullerton (J. Stew)...by fan request.

Hack Off RSVP

Ten years after his first call...Fabian (aka Flamian) called! When Jim went to him, he had his radio on in the backround, then, "...Oh man, hold on, hold on a minute...hello..sorry about that, Jim. I'm good at flaming, aren't I? You know what, when I heard my name, I'm like, 'Ah, c'mon dude!'.."

Jim then asked him, "...Are you in on Friday?"

Fabian responded, "...If you let me in, I'm in, homey...If you're going to put me with those chumps...ayyyy, really? ...It's on homes. It's on!"
