Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

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!
