Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

After the show open, an E mail referenced that today is Jim Rome's birthday.

This subject got a lot of attention, including Jim's rants about what he doesn't like about birthdays.

A message from Jim's friend Billy Koch said, "Birthday....Well, I'm all out of posters." (Billy got Jim his autographed "Jason Bourne" poster.)

E mail:

One came in to the effect of "Hey Rome. Does this mean I'll call in for only the 2nd time........Janet (Rome). - Jim said, "Janet does not address me as 'Hey Rome'." (Jim went on a bit about this and it was pretty funny.)

Jim asks Janet to turn her radio off

One of Jim's 'beefs' with birthday's was trick birthday candles. He asked Janet to turn off the radio before he talked about it. I got the drift that Janet likes to use the candles for the kids...and maybe even Jim!

E mails: "...War Jim's birthday 'wrestling' match later."

"Snagger...I YA! (Fabian's "I YA" got a lot of play again today.)

       'Cha cha cha' is not funny. Signed, You smell like a monkey and you look like one too."

NASCAR

NASCAR was parodied by the TV show South Park. Jim told how NASCAR gets it and rolled with the slight. The funny part was Jim resetting the caller years ago that was upset with Jim takes on the sport years ago. The old guy claimed to be with the "Penske Organization"...and was willing to "go all the way with this".

After playing the tape today, Jim said, " 'Wrigley Stadium' is laughing at you, Pops!"

100,000 on Twitter

Today, Rome got his 100,000th Twitter follower. Apparently some people were "unfollowing" Rome in order to try and "re-follow" in hopes of being the 100,000th, who Jim would in turn follow as a reward. Jim called out Nate in Edmonton for doing this. "You're not fooling anyone, Nathan," Jim said.

The actual winner was....Jeff Bogen. Jim said the name "to the tune of" ...Jeff Gordon! (As they announced the NASCAR driver years ago before he sang "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" at Wrigley Field.

"Hey, Retiree"

A "triple U" was sent in, "Birthday cards with music attached." Jim talked about people going through all of such cards at the store. He brought up Hallmark stores. "Hey retiree behind the counter. Sorry you're working at 98...," said Rome.

Text Contest Selections

"War a birthday card that plays Rick Astley...."

"Happy Birthday Rome. Are you 39 yet? You know that's the retirement age. Signed Ray Ray."

Triple U sponsor: "The guy who ends the Happy Birthday song with 'and Scooby Doo on Channel 2....."

Actual Triple U: "Man! It's like 'The U' has disappeared. Signed, Bison Dele."

Result: "You're BLOCKED!.....in the 719.....Would that be funny to your family members?"
