Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Friday Format
(on Friday's the show is briefly recapped, an interview of the week is chosen, as are my Top 5 funny moments of the week.)

Today's Show

Jay Mohr was today's guest host. A lot of today's show was reaction to a picture that Jay took with J. Stew, Kyle, Alvin, and Jay's friend Tom on "Tank Top Friday". Tom was also sort of Jay's sidekick for the day.

Brian in Syracuse got an E mail in that said, "Dear Tom, Don't be afraid to buy a new tank top. Signed, 1986."

Another E mailer commented, "Alvin looks like the "Make a Wish" kid meeting the Hulk!"
Jay also did a lot of his impressions. He did almost a whole segment as comedian Tracy Morgan. After this, Chris in Tampa called in and did his own Tracy Morgan impression! He also asked Jay if he had any plans in the works to come perform in Tampa. Jay has none at this time.

Interview of the Week (as chosen by admitted MMA fan Greg in Sun Valley)

Rampage Jackson

  Jackson came in and laid out the origins of his feud with Rashad Evans. Interestingly, they started out as friends...or at least guys that got along. Rampage's is a showman and lends a lot of personality to the sport. This interview seemed more subdued, but it did give insight into Saturday's match.

My Top 5 Funny Moments of the Week

5. "The room now smells like Stew's breath." - comment from Kyle Brandt after the in studio coffee spill on Monday.

4. "...How 'bout your mother...looks like she packed on a few." - Jim Rome commenting on Chelsea Clinton asking her father to lose 15 lbs. for her wedding.

3. Jim's reading of BLOCKED e mails or texts. He makes them funny with the way he reads them. Case in point was: "Fe Fi Fo Rome. You say you root for a blizzard? So do me! Let's go to Dairy Queen for a Blizzard. Hungrily, Kirstie."

2. "...The second he drops trow, they out to Tase him!" - Jim Rome commenting on Argentina's Soccer coach, Diego Maradona, saying he will run naked if they win the World Cup."

1. Jim's bit on "Big Baby" Glen Davis getting virtually knocked out by an inadvertent elbow from Dwight Howard. Jim broke out with clips of Glen's "I'm going to Disneyland" sound byte  after the 2008 Finals, in response to hypothetical questions, such as "How many fingers am I holding up?". Seeing video of the actual "knockout" pushed this take to #1.

Thursday? Friday?

Jim Rome is taking tomorrow off...and Monday too. He got Alvin to give him a "Quad Yeah!"...because for Jim, today is Friday! 

He began getting E mails telling him it was "Triple U" for him to say, "It's my Friday." Jim agreed, but added, "I'm not coming off it!" 

Eastern Conference Finals

Orlando stayed alive with another win over Boston. Jim talked about how physical they played. In fact, Glen "Big Baby" Davis was diagnosed with a concussion after taking an inadvertent elbow to the face from Dwight Howard. He apparently said today that he will play in game 6. 

Rome asked, "Does this guy sound like he's ready to play? He then played the famous clip "I'm going to Dis-Ney-Land! I'm going to ride the kiddie rides!" Rome then asked a series of questions. Each was followed by a part of that clip. Rome, "How many fingers am I holding up?" Davis clip,"Do you understand 

me?" Rome, "What's your real name?" Davis clip,  "...Donald Duck and all ...those characters."

It was a funny bit made funnier by video of the actual event.


Video

E Mail


Chris in Canada wrote a crack about Perkins (since Kendrick Perkins of the Celtics was mentioned). It was signed by ...Tiger Woods.  Jim said he gets a warning for that.  Then Chris warred "Steve Garvey resets".  Jim said Chris is now "double warned" or something to that effect. Rome added, "We're not talking about #6."


Clinton's lb's


Jim relayed the news story that Chelsea Clinton has asked her father, former President Bill Clinton, to lose 15 pounds for her wedding. Rome had a few cracks about this. One was, "How 'bout your mother?...looks like she packed on a few!"


World Cup


Rome recently did a straight up interview about the World Cup with Alexi Lalas on "Jim Rome is Burning". 
Today, Jim said he is rooting against Argentina in the event. He said it is because their coach, Diego Maradona, said he will run naked through the center of Buenos Aires if the team wins the World Cup.
Rome, "...Let's just say he's not at his playing weight...Nobody wants to see that!....The second he drops trow, they ought to Tase him!"


Text Contest


No text contest today. Instead, we heard Alvin's week in review compilation, where I briefly heard a familiar "Portable Buzzer".

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

Western Conference Finals

The Suns beat the Lakers and tie the series at 2-2. Jim feels that the Lakers are completely different since Suns coach Alvin Gentry dropped the zone defense on them. Phil Jackson disagrees. He attributes the two losses to not executing on defense. 

The funny part was Jim saying the first step is "admitting you've got a problem."

Big Story Early in the Show

Vikings DE Jared Allen "takes down" his mullet. Rome said it was a dark day for the shield, and a sad day in the Jungle! He added, "...people are mad, depressed, and despondent." The story was that Jared did it for his wedding. Jim warned that it was a "slippery slope".  Rome asked, "What's next? Are you going to change your jersey number?....next you're a vegan!"

Unsigned Bands

If you're in a band and want some exposure by having your music played as a "bump" on Jim's show, send music sample to: romesbumping@gmail.com

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson

Jim had the former UFC Light Heavyweight champion on. They were strictly talking about his career and upcoming match with Rashad Evans, until Rome brought up the upcoming "A-Team" movie. In the trailer, Rampage says, "I'm BA and you're about to be unconscious." Jim asked Jackson if he was going to tell Evans, "I'm Rampage and you're about to be unconscious!"

Super Bowl E mail

Regarding the Super Bowl in 2014 being in New Jersey, an E mailer wrote, "...what's next? The Olympics in Cleveland?...running water in Detroit?"

Caller

Mike in Grand Rapids got in again. He is the guy that sang "Ain't no Jungle When Jim's Gone"...well, part of it, before the buzzer sounded. Today, he wanted to pay back Vic in NoCal for the E mail he had sent that day, calling Mike a "Yodeling Idiot".

He began listing  possessions he has obtained using his voice. Then he talked about drinking, then going out with his friends and fighting...I guess. Then he said Vic in NoCal's mom has one of his CDs....socks,...and that he's a wrestling coach. "How player is that," he ended.

Rome said, "...Kinda creepy actually...too weird...a little disturbing."

Clones, Comments, and Moments from today's show

(Jim's main sports takes and interviews are on his site at jimrome.com)

Eastern Conference Finals

The Magic won game 4. Rome's take was that was that they only did what they should have a while back: "...finally showing up and joining the fight."

Early E mails

Brian in Syracuse got in with two. 

1. "Hey Orlando! Welcome to the party, pal. Signed, the Eastern Conference Finals."

2. "Boston got knocked down last night. Signed, Alvin's laptop."

Female Philly Fan

Jim said a handful of cities have motivated, intense, crazy, (insert adjective) fans. Philly tops them all for Rome. 

He listed:  They...

 -booed Santa

- got tased

-yanked on a little girl

Today we heard a Philly TV report where a female  Philly fan dropped an 

F-bomb on live TV when asked how she felt about the Flyers game, "@# a%$%

amazing!" 

"Hey-O's and Triple U's

Jim said they are pretty much the same, then he took a lot of Triple U's from the texts and E mails.  But first...Jim had a few of his own: 

-Coming up to another person walking in the opposite direction in a hallway and you both keep going in the same direction when trying to avoid each other.

Jim said you can put Barry Sanders like moves on the guy and he's still going to shadow you.

-"That's why they pay you the big bucks." (Jim said that's what Mike Mandt tells him when Rome brings up that they have no guest lined up for JRIB.)

From listeners:

-Flower delivery guy hearing: "Oh, you shouldn't have" or "somebody's husband did something wrong!"

-Commercial painter hearing: "You missed a spot!"

-Mail carriers hearing: "You can keep the bills!"

(Freebie from Greg in Sun Valley: "Got my check in there?")

Caller

Josh in KC

He got in and began "running smack" about the Super Bowl going to New York. He said something like "20 degrees and rain...do the math". Then it was something about Tiger Woods writing a book. Then....."AAAAAHHHHH!" The manual buzzer sounded.

Rome said, "Triple U: That call."


Tiger Not on Ryder Cup Team?


Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin says Tiger Woods does not get an automatic berth on the team. 
Rome said a cheese E mail now would be a Triple U. (I guess that means Corey was in the "Rat Family")


Vic in NoCal sent in what appears to be a parody of a cheese E mail:
"The reason I'm not crazy about Tiger being on the Ryder Cup squad is because I feel his presence might really drive a WEDGE into our team. I don't care how much CHEDDAR he has or how GOUDA player he is, or even if he is the GOAT. 
I'm clearly aware that he is a NACHO average player & and he often makes shooting birdies seem like a BRIEs, but, frankly, I'm a little FETAp with him cursing up a BLEU streak whenever things don't go his way. 
Now, if you don't mind, there's a tall glass of VELVEETA with my name on it waiting for me in the kitchen - I've gotta go.
Late,
        Corey Pavin"

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

Jose Lima

The biggest topic of the day was the passing of former Major League pitcher Jose Lima of an apparent heart attack at the age of 37. Anyone who knows the show well knows how Jim Rome felt about Jose. "It's Lima time! Believe it!"

Today, Jim talked about Jose's zest for life, and he recounted how Lima gave him the game ball from his 20th win game in his only 20 win season. It is one of the few pieces of memorabilia that Jim keeps. Rome also cited Jose's love of the game and of the fans. He was known for always signing autographs even on days he pitched. Special to LA fans was Jim's recounting of Lima's shutout win over the Cardinals in the 2004 playoffs.

E mail Reaction

"...Lima time never ends as long as we remember him..."

Callers

Jason in KC called Lima " a straight shooter who told it like it was", and called today a sad day.

Adam in Houston said he knew Jose Lima when Adam was "cutting his teeth" is sports radio in Houston. He said Lima gave him his nickname "A-Bomb".

Bob in Florida called and said that we know about Jose because of Jim. Bob also said "It sucks" that he had to go at the age of 37, and expressed condolences to the family.

Two of the callers mentioned Jim giving the famous 20th win game ball to Jose Lima's son. Jim said he would, and would contact the Dodgers to perhaps arrange that.

On a lighter side...

-Jim took a call from John in Houston. "Hey John...," Jim began. Then the famous "Hey John...time to meet Mr. Rome. Giddy up horse face!" (followed by the original buzzer) was played. Jim said if your name is John you should expect that or not use your real name. Jim said the same if your name is Andrew. (The clip "Andrew! Your word is Andrew!"...was played.)

John in Houston never got on. Rome said, "John in Houston. Sorry bro."

-An E mailer wrote something to the effect of "When me hear John...me thinks Long John Silvers...yummie. Signed Kirstie."  The "E mail magician."

Rome said that when he sees the terms "me thinks, or me hears" someone is getting BLOCKED! "Make that BLOCK go away...."E mail Magician".

-Coffee spill

Jim told us that Kyle spilled coffee and knocked over Alvin's laptop. Rome commented that coffee gets everywhere in a spill and you can't get it out. Kyle was quoted as saying, "The room now smells like Stew's breath!"

Late Post of Recap of Wednesday's Jim Rome Show


Songs

Jim reset the Scott Stapp Marlins song. He emphasized Stapp's tone, saying, "Dooble Plays".

Clevelands Song
   The city of Cleveland came out with a "please stay LeBron" song. Jim said LeBron's response would be, "Ah....Hell no!" Jim really tried to stress that he likes Cleveland and has their back. However, he said, "There's no defending that song." Granted, certain local "celebrities", and not the city as a whole, made the song.

Stu in Manhattan Vs Cleveland

The long time E mailer really tore into Cleveland and got 3 E mails cracking on the town read.

One called into question what actually defined a celebrity in Cleveland, "having a working car...or a bank account".
Caller

Vince in Cleveland called in to respond to Stu. He said that Cleveland is likes to fight city, and he is likes to fight guy! "I hope I don't see you," he added.

Vic in NoCal

Vic in NoCal got into the fray with an E mail. He called Cleveland a "pathetic town" and recounted that John Elway routinely beating the Browns. He also referenced Michael Jordan and Art Modell. Vic ended with the announcement that he will make his inaugural "State of the Jungle" call soon.

Other E mails

Jonathan in San Clemente compared Cleveland to "bad date girl". This brought about a replay of J. Stew's "Blind Date" TV show appearance. "Jason's ...disgusting...I don't ever want to see him again. No second date!"

Brian in Syracuse let the Orlando Magic have it with: "Dear Orlando, How do ya like them apples? AAAHHHH! Signed, The Chowds."

Craig in Tampa got in and was the only guy that got in to crack back on Stu in Manhattan.

New Corvette Guy

Former NASCAR Driver, James Neal took police on a high speed chase in the SoCal area...in a Corvette! He reached speeds of 140 mph! Rome said it sounded like this: Rachel in Houston's NASCAR sounding EEERRRR! was played back to back to back to back!

Caller

Brian in Detroit got in and said he was "Corvette guy", so to speak. He wants to be Rome's Corvette correspondent! He goes to a lot of car shows and offered this Corvette license plate: FSTNFTL

Today's Show

Jim directed everyone to the Facebook fan page picture of KB in his soap "hunk" days. Kyle came on air to explain that people would pay to attend functions/parties with the Soap actors. Kyle is pictured dancing with two ladies. He said they grabbed him and said, "Kyle, we're gonna give you the 'Southern Sandwich'." Later Kyle told Jim he wasn't offered the "Southern Sandwich"...he was "force fed". Another comment from KB, "Some are nice...some smell like old ham."

Mike Mandt and Phil Guidry going to an "Empire Strikes Back" themed Dodger game was show fodder.

My Choice for Interview of the Week

Larry Bowa

   The former Phillies player, manager, and current Dodger 3rd base coach came on and discussed the Dodgers, Joe Torre, Manny Ramirez, and Hanley Ramirez. He actually said he doesn't think he wants to manage again. He's not sure he can function with his old school mentality with many of today's players.

My Top 5 Funniest Moments of the Week

5. Jim recap of the arrest of former NASCAR driver James Neal, who reached speeds of 140 mph in a Corvette while being chased by police. Rome said it sounded like this: ......the Rachel in Houston "NASCAR" sound byte was run over and over again.

4. GSP or GSV. MMAer Georges St. Pierre was interviewed and gave short and abrupt answers. It turns out he was at the airport and was worried he would miss his flight. An E mailer asked after if that was GSP or GSV (Greg in Sun Valley). It's funny to me to hear my name and my voice unexpectedly on the radio.

3. Jay Mohr saying that Brian Cushing needed a bra before using PEDs during his call to the show on Thursday.

2. Jim's "final warning" to Blaise in KC before he gets BLOCKED!

1. Jim first calling Fabian in Los Angeles "Fabio", then Jim's bit on giving Fabian plenty of time during his calls. The famous "shortest call" ever on the sho was played repeatedly. (This was not funny to some that posted Facebook fan page comments that day. To me it's Jungle history. I heard that call back in 2000, and references to it always ring funny to me.)

Friday's Text Contest Selections

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show


Jim began with the Lakers win over Phoenix last night. He mentioned Phil Jackson and his status for next year. Rome stated that Jackson is not just and old guy that rolls the ball onto the court for the guys and passes out a book or two once in a while. Jim's take was that Ron Ron and Kobe weren't listening to guys without 10 rings. In other words, "Give Phil some 'bleeping' credit". (Of course, the clip was played.)

Floyd Landis

The disgraced cyclist finally admitted he used performance enhancing drugs. He gave a mixed message. First he said he wanted clear his conscience, then he said he didn't regret using them.

E mails

"Entitlement Eric" got in with, "With Floyd Landis admitting he used PEDs....time for me to reveal the PED's I use on my lettuce. Dan Shaughnessy"

Other E mails on Landis suggested he go away (since he was also accusing Lance Armstrong of using) and get a job as a bike messenger.

Eastern Conference

Dwight Howard said they still believe. He reportedly said, "If anybody has any doubt, we're not going to win."
Rome said, "What you call doubt, I call panic."

Theo Epstein at Pearl Jam Concert

The Red Sox GM is taking heat for attending a concert during a Red Sox game. Jim defended him, saying that his work doesn't take place during the game for the most part.
Since it was Pearl Jam, "Better Man" came up. J. Stew's karaoke version, and the original. Both were played. Jim played the original and said, "Good." He then played J. Stew's, and said, "horrible".


Georges St. Pierre


The MMAer and UFC welterweight champion came on. His answers to Jim's questions were uncharacteristically short. At the end of the interview, we learned that he was at an airport, running late, with his flight leaving shortly. He did express gratitude for Jim having him on. Jim gave him credit for honoring the commitment.  


E mails on GSP


"Was that GSP or GSV?" (due to the robotic and short answers)
Rome said, "What?...Greg in Sun Valley?" Does this sound like GSP? (And he played my "VAAAANNNN SMAAAAACK!" sound byte.)


 "Shall we play a game?" (computer voice from "War Games".)


"We like GSP......Goobers, Snickers, and Pancakes.....Signed Kirstie" (BLOCKED!)


Callers


Jay Mohr got in again. He said he was performing at the Irvine Improv and cracked on Brian Cushing. He said Cushing was smaller, and more out of shape before PEDs. "... before it was..... ' get a helmet, pads, and a bra'..."


Jason in Ottawa (The Canadian Star linebacker)


Rome said he was going to Jason because he was another Canadian "athlete" like Georges St. Pierre.
He first apologized to Fabian in Los Angeles for the remark he made during the Hack Off.  He then talked about GSP, and had some good takes. Jim then tried to get him to reset "the party" after his high school football game.


Jim said he wanted to hear what "Fabio" says about the apology. He then corrected himself and called him Fabian.




Fabian in Los Angeles


We learned that he called and talked to J. Stew, but did not want to go on air. He told Stew that he accepted Jason's apology. He added that sometimes his 
mouth is working faster than his brain and asks that Jim give him some space when he calls.


Jim, in true tongue in cheek, said, "Nobody gets more space than you." Fabian's first call was replayed over and over. It's one of, if not thee, shortest call ever. Jim joked how he has a clock and Fabian was going on and on and on!  It was a really funny bit.


My favorite "bit" on Fabian







Jay Mohr E mail


Somebody cracked on Jay with, "...I know where it's (Jay's show) not going to be....CBS! " (Jay's "Gary Unmarried" was cancelled by CBS.)

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

Man's game

Jim reset where the "man's game" phrase came from in regards to the Jungle. It's from a J. Stew story! J. Stew had been playing a pick up basketball game and went to take a shot when a 6'6" plus guy (or somewhere around there) rejected him badly and shouted, "Man's game, bitch". 

Jim emphasized that the guy, with his size and skill, probably shouldn't have even been the game.

Corvette Plate

Another Vette plate made it to the show. This time it was "Gator" with the Florida Gators logo...and Urban Meyer standing next to it!

Hanley Ramirez

Jim covered the story which saw the Marlins' shortstop inadvertantly kicked the ball, then casually jogged after it during a live play!

Rome said you can't sleep during a game, and you can't "dog it".  We learned that manager Fredi Ramirez was asked if other punitive action would follow. He replied, "You mean anymore embarrassment than being taken out of a major league game?" (The Jim Lampley "BAM!" soundbyte was played immediately after.)

Caller

Eric in Orlando got on to talk about the Marlins. He said it was very upsetting to see Ramirez not hustle on the play. Eric added that Hanley struggles on defense when he IS trying.

Haiku

Dogging like Mel's phone

Seventy million reasons

Nice hustle weakling

More Marlins

Their game Saturday was interrupted by a shirtless fan running onto the field.

Jim first reset how the Marlins' stadium is more of a club.

When he got to the story, Jim said, "Some shirtless knucklehead got on the field." He told of the guy trying to high five outfielder BJ Upton, who wanted no part of that. Rome continued, "..The only thing worse for your look than being tased is being left hanging on a high five." The guy did put on some moves to temporarily evade security. "...Keystone cops making this guy look like Perer Warrick..., " Jim added.  

Even More Marlins!

This time Jim shared the strange, weird, and awful Marlins song by former Creed singer, Scott Stapp.  

Somebody brought up liking Niems' song better than the Marlins' song. Alvin then began playing Niems' "Niems from Home" and Jim said, "...Honestly, I like this song better than the Marlins' song."

During the last segment, Jim kept playing a portion on Scott Stapp singing. It was annoying, but Jim said it would replace the Boom Town Rats in the last segment! 

It's got to be another Rome joke!

A Facebook fan page comment: "I can't take the Stapp sone anymore. Put my head back in the vise! Signed, the guy tortured by Pesci in 'Casino' ." (Dan Findley)

Jim, of course, talked about the Celtics' game 1 victory over the Magic. LeBron James was also a big topic. These stories, as well as Jim's interviews today, are reviewed in print on Rome's website: www.jimrome.com

Xr4ti as Jersey Shore

A new photoshop pic has Alvin included into the mix of the XR4ti as the guys from Jersey Shore. Jim was amused that Alvin was cast as "Ronnie". "Alvin running down the street dropping fools," Jim joked.

One E mailer brought up J. Stew, saying, "Every pic of J. Stew I've seen terrifies me. this one is no different."

Blaise in KC

He came in with another B.O. reference. It was something about B.O. being powerful in....Kentucky (I think). 

Jim was not happy. He said this was his last warning to Blaise before he gets BLOCKED! "No star treatment," Rome said. (Blaise is a long time E mailer.)

"Gimmie Back My...."...$1,000

Mel Gibson's movie "Ransom" came up again. Then the subject of residuals that actors get whenever their work is aired. 

Jim then did a bit where he played the clip "Gimmie back my son" then counted off amounts of cash Mel Gibson was getting...then played the clip again, then another amount of cash.

Late addition of Charles Barkley

With the late addition of the Hall of Famer as an interview, one E mailer took exception. "Toe Jam in Appalachia" wrote (paraphrased), "Thanks Chuck for 

agreeing to come in at the bottom of the hour. Now Jim will blow by the E mail and texts like Kirstie blows by the salad bar."

"You're BLOCKED!," was Jim's response. He then said that KB believes that "Toe Jam" in Appalachia is Ugly Bob with a new E mail address and name.


Request from Niems (not on the show)


Niems, of "Michaels Dad" fame as well as "Niems from Home" wants clones to check out his website at www.johnniems.com

Cleveland took a lot from other clones after the Cavaliers elimination from the playoffs. One E mailer asked the city of Cleveland how it feels to be the most pathetic sports town...and added, "BOHICA C-Town".

A caller from Akron sounded depressed about it in his call. Rome said the guy sounded dejected, depressed, and despondent.

Another E mailer (Dan in C-Town), responding to a crack from Blaise in KC, said, "Blaise, you are a tool...If I see you, I will fight you...war nothing. Life Sucks."

My Choice for Interview of the Week

Hubie Brown

   The 76 year old former NBA coach and current analyst came in on Thursday. He talked with Jim about the playoffs, but most the time was spent on LeBron.  

He accurately predicted that LeBron and the Cavs would make a better showing of themselves in game 6 but probably wouldn't win.

Also, as I wrote yesterday, Hubie snapped a little at Jim. This was amusing to the listener, but Jim made nothing of it. He appears to have way too much respect for Hubie to take offense at a snap that was more amusing than it was personal.


My Top 5 Funniest Moments of the Week


5. Wednesday's Triple U sponsor: "Al Davis in HD."


4. Jim's take after the urine drinking MMAer, Loyota Machida got knocked out: "Somebody better hit Machida with a Urine IV...stat!"


3. Jay Mohr's reaction to Dave in Albuquerque. After the caller revealed that he had a "Bro Crush" on Jay, and that he was a Raider fan, Jay just cracked on the Raiders and Raider fan.


2. Alvin's DJ like "scratching" of the neighing sound by Trapper in today's Week In Review.


1. Jim's use of the term "haggard coug(er)". He was saying that most Corvette drivers were guys, except for the occasional "haggard coug". (Websters defines haggard as "having a wild, wasted, worn look; gaunt")

Rome started today with the NHL. The Montreal Canadiens knocked out the defending Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins.

E mail Reaction:

"Now I'm done. Sincerely Sid Crosby."

(Paraphrased) "Dear Pittsburgh, Don't worry. You have the Pirates to look foward to...and your quarterback being suspended for 4 games."

                                                 Brian in Syracuse

The Preakness Stakes

Jim told us about the ad campaign the race organizers are putting on. It centers around the phrase: "Get you Preak on". 

Rome talked about how old the phrase is...and of course used a lot of phrases that had the word "freak" in it and replaced them with "Preak".

We also learned that the race this year would feature $20 all you can drink beer. Jim thought this would bring out more people than the "Preak" campaign.

Song Parody

Another guy called with a song parody. Jim asked for Facebook and E mail votes on whether he should take the call. 75% were in favor. 

The guy sang, "There ain't no Jungle When Jim's Gone" to the tune of"Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers.

He got to the second line when suddenly we heard "AAAAHHHH!" The manual buzzer dropped again!


Hubie Brown


An awkward exchange took place during this interview. Hubie was expressing his belief that the Cleveland Cavaliers coaching staff wasn't setting the right plays to get LeBron opportunities to go to the basket since he is having trouble with jump shots with his bad elbow. Jim then said something to the effect of, "So you're putting this on the coaching staff." Hubie answered, "I think that's what we just got through saying."


Vic in NoCal


Vic got in with an e mail that expressed that if the Preakness organizers are looking to draw more people, they should let all the couples get in free. After all..."It Takes Two" (referencing an  old song). Vic then warred the Sharks  bringing home Lord Stanley's Cup to a place where most of the people don't know what it is. And he Unwarred "Yodeling idiots from Grand Rapids".
