UCONN, Clone Calls and Ask The Pro's

Protein is now at Starbucks and it's never tasted so good.

You can add protein, cold foam to your favorite drink or try one of our new protein lattes or matcha.

Try it today at Starbucks.

So we start out on number three. Welcome to the program. Good afternoon. I am Jim Rome

with professional grade products for our industry range,

as you've covered, call it financial.com or just stop on by.

If you're joining us later, obviously we hit on the action over the weekend, the madness.

You know, this whole notion of the term, it's not all that Rome.

It's not what it used to be and I always wrecked it. The portal is wrecked it.

The changing landscape is wrecked it. It's not what it was.

I kept pushing back on that and then people were still saying,

and when I say people, I mean those were saying that the term, it's not all that.

It's boring.

And I say, that's just garbage. It's not. It's just a bad take.

You're just not seeing these directional schools that you've never heard of.

You know, we're not getting that observant. Sienna didn't beat Duke.

No, that did not happen. A 16 did not beat a one this year.

But it does mean we're not getting absolutely great matchups, some great basketball.

Now, there are some beat downs, but there are some incredible moments where you're still not entertained.

That was one of the all time great games.

Yukon coming back on Duke and doing them the way they did them was absolutely amazing.

I thought Matt Norlander said it best.

Not that we're here to hate, but Duke getting beat and Duke getting beat the way Duke got beat

is actually great for the tournament because right or wrong people hate Duke.

So to see them go down the way they did, a year after they went down the way they did,

it's pretty incredible. So they've got a gagging problem now.

Duke has a gagging problem. And I said earlier that I proud of myself.

I'm not being one of those lava pigs.

I'm not a hot take artist. You know, I think about what I say before I say it.

And I'm very careful about saying that somebody choked.

I used to almost never ever say it about college players because they're not paid athletes,

but they are now. They are now. So they're a fair game.

But even then, calling somebody a choker is pretty much a reason to go

if the ones who choked or called chokers.

I know because I've done it and I've gotten a really severe pushback

from people that have called chokers.

So I've always been very careful about that.

Not because I didn't want to push back, but it's a really harsh thing to say.

You know, just like I don't say that that guy or gal or team quit.

Because that's the worst thing you can say about a team or an athlete that they quit, honestly.

Because from the very second any of us ever picked up a bat or a ball.

I mean, any of us.

I mean, saving a sports and it's a life thing.

We're told from day one almost don't quit. Never quit.

It's okay to lose, but it's not okay to quit.

So that's something I'm really careful about.

Why am I going in this direction?

Because I want to be very careful before I say that Duke choked.

But Duke choked.

Now, Yukon had one of the greatest comebacks ever.

So what happened to Duke?

Yukon.

Because that second half was played totally differently than the first half.

All of a sudden Yukon makes all these adjustments.

All of a sudden Yukon who couldn't shoot it from distance makes four out of five threes late.

All of a sudden Yukon is turning Duke over and then Duke panicked.

And Duke did not play with composure.

Look at the last sequence. Are you getting doubt that?

Both these things can be true.

So to the question of was that one of the greatest comebacks ever or one of the greatest meltdowns ever?

Yes.

Yes. It can be both those things.

So if you want to come at me again with they didn't choke.

They didn't choke.

Yukon beat them.

It's both.

Yukon came back on them.

Yukon has the heart of the champion.

He is an unbelievable coach who made all the right adjustments.

And he's got guys.

There are dogs and they're not afraid.

Big brass set.

But how can you tell me Duke didn't choke when they did something that had never happened before?

So if that's not a choke, what is?

Teams that had 15 or more point leads.

At half times there were top seats were 134 and 0.

And yet Duke lost.

But you're going to say to me they didn't choke.

And you're going to say that to me after last year when they had Houston beaten.

And Houston dropped a 9-0 run on them in the last 35 seconds in the final four.

But they didn't choke there either.

Are they choke proof?

Can they never choke?

They choked.

And Yukon came back on them.

It's both those things.

Now, Duke's got a gagging problem.

They don't finish.

They lost three games this year.

Three games by five points.

And had double digit leads in all three of those losses.

And did not finish.

They don't finish.

And Yukon's right back where they are.

Where they generally are.

Yahoo sports.

Quote.

The blue devils have only lost four games over the last year.

But they've all been blown double digit leads.

So that makes my point even stronger.

I said three times this year.

But over the last year it's actually four times.

So yesterday they had a 19 point lead with a not only a 19 point lead.

But as the top overall seed in the tournament.

With a final four appearance.

Hang in the balance.

Lost that one.

February 7th against UNC.

Led by 13.

Lost.

December 20th against Texas Tech.

Led by 17.

Lost.

April 5th versus used in.

Led by 14.

Lost.

They have a gagging problem.

Hey, great.

You won 35 games.

Unbelievable year.

No one remembers that.

No one's gonna care.

Nobody's gonna think about that.

Nobody's gonna look back on this year and say damn.

Now what a year.

35 wins.

Best player in the country.

No, you know what they're gonna say?

They're gonna say blue and 19 point lead with a chance to go to the final four.

Because the best player in the country's younger twin turned it over at the end of the game.

That's just what they're gonna remember for.

And unfortunately for them, that's gonna stick to them.

And I'm not saying it's all his fault.

It's not all his fault.

He's not the only one that touched the ball.

But he was the one that made the ill-fated pass.

Which led to the turnover.

Which led to the now historic three.

And now they're at home.

Second year in a row.

Second year in a row.

They had the freshman who was the best player in the country.

And couldn't get it done.

I mean, how many shots will you get at it?

How many looks will you get at that thing?

I mean, you are Duke.

And you have resources.

And Charlie's a good coach.

But Charlie's got a problem.

Got to finish.

Got to stop gagging.

And I'm not gonna apologize for saying they choked because they did.

If you do something that had not happened in 134 other instances.

And you're the first, that's a joke.

And if you're not gonna call that joke, what are you gonna call it?

Unlucky.

Bad break.

What would you call that?

If not a joke.

That's utter despair.

Look at them.

Look at all of them.

Wow.

If that's not the look, if you're watching on the stream right now.

And you can see the sea of blue.

And the absolute utter shock and despair on every one of their faces.

That's the look of a team that just choked.

That's an incredible video.

All of them in unison.

An absolute despair.

That's how much of a dagger that was.

An all-time historic tournament dagger.

And congratulations you come for not giving up.

Man, they get it from their coach.

Hurley is a fighter, yo.

He's the likes to fight guy.

And I love that about him.

Likes to fight guy and likes to headbutt the referee guy.

At least the Duke radio team took it in stride.

Look at this.

Hey man, hey man.

He didn't even say anything.

I don't even think he said anything.

Let me see.

If he did, it's hard to see.

His mother had something to say.

We could read her lips.

I'm trying to read his lips right there.

It's wild.

Here's mama.

I see multiple levels of profanity in that.

Man, there's something else.

Let's see some reaction.

OV.

OV doing what he does.

Commissioner Ears is in.

Quote, I wasn't inebriated Jim.

I rolled my Bronco when I realized

juiceless is next week.

Best Tiger.

Tiger knows nothing about juiceless.

That's not why he did that.

He did that because he was impaired.

According to authorities on the scene,

we don't know exactly what it was,

but it was something.

It had nothing to do with juiceless.

Yeah, so what?

Tiger is driving around way too fast,

tries to swerve around another vehicle,

clips that vehicle,

but only ended up on its side

because it obviously didn't hit him like,

holy crap, it's Rome's juiceless next week.

Yeah, that's not what happened.

It's on.

If you have a minute,

if you're engaged, you don't have to.

Dude, can you explain to me,

because I really don't know.

I have just blocked it out.

Theoretically, what would juiceless be if it existed?

I believe in theory,

juiceless is the,

it's kind of even weird to say,

but the celebration of his death

or the anniversary of his death.

Celebration does seem a lot.

Celebrate, here's the thing.

When people die,

there's frequently a celebration of life.

Exactly.

You've seen this celebration of life.

I don't think we're celebrating his life.

So that's all that is.

That's true.

Can't write that off like that.

Doesn't work either.

So we're celebrating his death.

I mean, he did kill two people.

Hypothetical.

No.

And I guess also be called this juiceless three.

So I guess the actual death date was juiceless one,

which was two years ago,

and then juiceless two was the one year anniversary.

And this is the two year anniversary.

And if we ever,

if we ever publicly on that day,

ever had anything to do with it,

because seemingly memory does not serve.

I don't think we had anything to do with it.

Yeah.

And what does it mean?

And what does it mean?

And what does it mean?

Schools do when they celebrate the death of a serial killer.

Colin with nonsense.

Celebrating the death.

Really celebrating his death.

Celebrating his demise.

Yeah.

And we just got to started by reminding all of us.

And then sending something that he A.I.

He can get his face off my screen, please.

It's not too much to ask.

Thank you.

Oh.

And then you're dead.

Stop moaning.

They're treating it a little bit like a dong day,

which also doesn't exist.

Exactly.

Exactly.

They're just trying to kind of force it into existence.

Don't do it.

Adam ranks you to a list for the after hour.

Five days that do not exist in the jungle

that the clones have somehow just wished into existence.

Those are definitely the top two.

Yeah.

Those are the two.

All right.

So this is Friday.

Yeah.

I think it's, I think it's next Friday.

It's the 10th, I think, is the date.

Hmm.

Not on my calendar.

Strangely, not on my calendar.

Not on my iPhone.

Not on any physical calendar that we have.

Yeah.

I can confirm April 10th is the two year anniversary of his festival.

All right.

Thank you for nothing.

Tom, thanks for clearing that up for me.

I actually, I hadn't forgotten.

I just didn't know.

Because I had not been willing to acknowledge the existence

of juice miss.

I just told us in herd V.

Then saw V.

And saw the AI that he used to create this family moment

involving me, Johnny Cochran, Lance Edo, juice.

Family.

Peanut's on TV, incredibly.

Wow.

And now Nick, the clone is in too.

Man, what's going on here?

First, the commissioner of the NBA, quote, commissioner ears.

And now at Nick, the clone, quote, F.

Damn kids.

Signed to eldrick.

After the secret service informs him, he can't drive the young

ins.

Four bombs using the smoldering remains of cat's rig is a space

barrier.

All right.

There were no smoldering remains nor would Nick Casario ever,

ever, ever post anything much less post that.

He doesn't post.

Nick, Nick is not on social media.

Nick has better things to do.

Ed gone crazy, aka Ed in San Antonio.

Jim, everybody needs to get off Tigers back.

That rig he wrecked in SoCal was a loner, Genesis supplied.

I mean, who hasn't driven recklessly with a rental?

War collision damage waiver.

Ed in essay.

Hey, Ed, how about you get yourself a sandwich?

You see what happened to that so-called rental?

Well, actually not with families.

It's actually not what they call those cars.

They're not rentals, Ed.

Did you see where that car ended up?

Did you see how mangled that car was?

Did you see how mangled his leg was?

Did they almost had a lock off?

Let's say sports on a room.

I'm fine to drive.

I'll just take Wemmo.

Wemmo, Ambien, Xanix, Vicodin, Perkuset, OxyContin.

And don't judge me.

Sign Tiger.

Probably.

I mean, Ken, probably not an original joke.

I'm fine to drive.

I'll just take Wemmo.

Wemmo, Ambien, Xanix, Vicodin, Perkuset, OxyContin.

And don't judge me.

Sign Tiger.

It sounds like his girlfriend and friends are judging him.

It sounds like they're offering up ultimatums.

They're saying, come on, dude.

Enough's enough.

You know what the problem is?

And it's an obvious problem.

There are so many people that make so much money

that are around him that will never tell him

what he needs to hear,

as supposedly what he wants to hear.

Remember all those stories back in the day

that he would just break you off.

Back when he was still the guy,

that if you crossed him in any way

or disrespected him in any way,

he'd just break you off like you were nothing.

Never mind how long you'd been tight.

Never mind how deep that friendship was.

It wasn't.

He would just break you right off.

And then obviously if you're on payroll,

or you're somehow benefiting from this relationship,

especially financially,

there's no way you're gonna tell this guy

what he needs to hear,

because you know that he's not gonna tolerate that.

So there's nobody to tell him.

But apparently now,

apparently now his girlfriend is.

Apparently now he's not allowed to drive their kids.

The secret service is.

So we'll see, man, get the help you need.

It is banged up as you might be.

And in as bad as shape as you might be,

there have been people in worst shape that have overcome.

And dude, you have every resource imaginable

to get the help that you need.

It's not too late.

Not right now, it's not.

But do something before it is.

And then this notion of,

I hate public scrutiny is amazing.

Yeah, but look who you hang out with.

And then look what you do.

And now you're on the cover of everything,

every website, every platform,

every newspaper that still exists.

You're everywhere,

but you hate public scrutiny.

Man, that is so rich.

That's even richer than you are, Kat.

And man, if you hate that spotlight on you,

stop getting wasted and getting behind the wheel of a car allegedly.

And by the way, if you're not on something,

if you're not on something, right?

If you're not impaired,

authorities thought so.

That's why they arrested you for a dewey.

But even if you're not,

all right, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt,

although you haven't earned it at all.

Okay, say you're not on anything.

Dude, you are a bad driver.

A really reckless driver.

A bad driver.

You can't get that close to your home

in the middle of the afternoon

without ending up on the side

with the rig turned over.

Again, when you're on nothing,

nobody's that bad of a driver.

In a residential area?

Get a driver, dude.

Look at this.

How does that car end up like that

if you're not impaired?

On that street,

how are you going that fast on that street

if you're watching on the stream?

If you're not impaired,

how does that car end up like that?

Driver's side.

How many of you watching or listening

have ever rolled your rig

and had it end up on a side?

Look at that street.

Look at that neighborhood.

How did that happen?

If you're not impaired.

And if you're not impaired, bro,

you should not be driving.

That's not one of those things.

Now when it's happened before,

we're going to be driving.

Wow.

This is getting worse.

At sore,

underscore throats,

underscore.

You know who's not that?

Quote.

Ron and Nicole's ghosts.

What is with you ghouls?

Do you have nothing

in your life you can work on?

Focus on.

Look forward to.

Without waiting for the

Rome show to start,

so you can start sending me

things from Ron and Nicole's ghosts.

Ron and Nicole were physically dead.

Sky Road.

Hey, Jim, we're with you.

Juice Miss is not a bleeping holiday.

Side at sore throats.

And it's almost like they killed me.

No, why?

Their throats are sore.

Because he slit them.

Oh, that's funny.

Go on at sore throats.

As I've always said,

I've proudly never, ever blocked

anybody on X ever.

Do I have to start?

Generally, I just ignore it.

But do I have to start?

All right.

Anyway, anyway,

let's some ATP.

That'd be fun.

That'd be a nice fresh change.

Maybe we could talk some

Michigan, Arizona.

After Arizona won,

I said, I went to X.

I went right to X and said,

how are you going to beat Arizona?

They were so dominant.

Man, they're so big,

so skilled,

so good on both sides of the floor.

How are you going to beat Arizona?

And then Michigan went out

and just curb stomped,

Tennessee,

and looked really big,

really good on both sides,

and especially defensively.

That's a matchup, man.

All right.

All that's still ahead.

James Kelly, I know is locked

and loaded.

He will be prepped.

He will be ready to go,

and he's on one.

We went through a stretch

where we could not win anything.

In college basketball.

And now that guy cannot lose,

like he got right in one week,

covered everything.

All the bloodshed that we had,

he covered, like in one week.

That's coming up for the after-hour.

All that's still ahead.

You're listening to the Jim Roam Show.

America leads the world in medicine development.

It matters.

We get new medicines first,

nearly three years faster.

Five million Americans go to work

because we make medicines here at home.

And not relying on other countries keeps us safe.

But China is racing to overtake us.

Will we let them?

Or will we choose to stay ahead?

When America leads,

America cures.

Let's tell Washington

to keep us in the lead.

Learn how at AmericaCures.com.

Paid for it by Farma.

We're still looking for ATPs.

Ask the pros.

You can ask,

hey, look, if you've got nothing to ask me at this point,

ask anybody on the crew anything you want.

Alvi,

Tom,

Alex Hattie,

the XER.

Hit any of us with anything you want.

That's coming up.

Still yet.

By the meantime,

let's go to the phones.

We go to San Jose,

Lauren.

Lauren, good to have you on.

What's going on?

How are you?

Hey, Jim, nice to talk to you.

You too, dude. What's up?

Okay, so I heard you needed a guess.

So I,

I,

I've run Western states three times,

and I think Apollo is probably trying to qualify for Western states.

So,

so if you want to talk mountain running right now.

You know,

not especially, however,

that does not mean that I won't.

You know, it's really interesting.

Apollo was at our house yesterday,

doing some other things,

I wish I had known that this was coming up,

because I would hate him up with that yesterday.

I don't know that he's trying to qualify for that run.

Tell me about the run.

What is the run?

Okay, so Western states is,

it's basically the Super Bowl of mountain running.

It's a hundred mile run from a Palisades,

Pahoe,

which, which was formerly known as Kwa Valley.

And you run all the way to Placer High School in,

in Auburn.

So,

and it's,

it's all on mountain trails.

It's a hundred miles straight shot.

Obviously, Apollo ran, you know,

200 plus miles,

but he probably took a dirt nap or two here and there.

You know, again,

Western states is a straight shot run.

You've heard about it.

You interviewed Eric Burns.

I trained with Eric Burns for this run back in 2021, I believe.

So, yeah.

It is the Super Bowl of mountain running.

All right, so how long for the,

okay, first of all,

you're right about Apollo, Apollo.

We talked about Moab and he did Moab,

and obviously you have to take a nap at some point.

You, you can either nap it out in a tent.

He, he told me,

and I've seen pictures,

he wherever is convenient.

He's just laid down on the ground for a few minutes

and got that quick nap.

What you're telling me is for this run is,

it's a straight shot.

You have to finish the race, right?

There is no sleeping.

How long does that take?

I mean, you could sleep if you want, but the clock is always running.

And the course record is right around 14 hours.

100 miles in 14 hours.

My best time, Jim,

is quite a bit more than that.

But, but the winner,

the winner in course record is about 14 hours.

That's pretty wild.

So, did you,

you trained Eric Burns for that race

or you ran it with him or both?

I trained with Eric Burns.

Eric Burns and I have a,

have a mutual friend in half moon Bay,

a guy named Franz Dill.

And, uh,

Franz, me, Franz and Eric all trained together

when Eric was in his first western states.

I think Franz was running his

fifth or sixth,

and I was running my second at that time.

So, let me ask you something.

Like, for instance,

my wife Janet was there.

She was like the team,

quote, team mom from Moab.

And she came back

and she was like,

I'm from Moab.

And she came back

and I started researches

because I,

I know David Goggins a little bit

and I started to talk to some other guys

and I was doing some research for it.

Obviously,

this is a totally different kind of community.

And Janet was there for like nine days

because she wanted to watch over the kids

and help out in any way she could.

And my wife, me, my wife,

she was a volunteer.

And she was signing in the runners.

So, she got a good look at the entire community

and what people were like.

And it's really interesting to see what brings,

like you have to have a certain mindset

and a certain grit to do that sort of thing.

How did you get into it?

I was recovering addict.

Right.

Like, I'm not in any way

making light of that.

But I've heard that story so many times.

And what did that do for you?

Off you by time.

Yeah.

Like, you know,

and gave you purpose.

Like, so when you,

like when you're recovering

from addiction,

you have an unconditional no, right?

Like, you can't,

like, it's,

I mean,

I'm just going to,

it's just an unconditional no.

Right.

You cannot do that thing.

You eat.

In other words,

you can't be so curious.

It's just no.

Right.

Now, when you're an endurance athlete,

the unconditional no

to the unconditional yes,

is pretty easy.

Like, I don't want to say it's easy.

But like,

but you go from,

I cannot do this no matter what

to I have to do this no matter what.

So when the alarm goes off at 430,

bro, you don't negotiate with yourself.

You just,

you roll over your feet,

hit the floor,

and you go.

Do you get up and run first thing

every single morning,

no matter what?

Yes, sir.

Yeah.

No, I get it.

You know, I just read last week.

I don't know if you saw it,

but I posted it.

I read Ken Wright out's book.

And he was the same way.

He was an addict.

And he just started running.

And he started running 10 miles a day.

And within a five-year period,

I'm there,

I met this guy.

And they were spoken in this guy.

I haven't reached out to him for reinvention.

But I read his book in one day.

And this guy went from being an absolute pill addict.

And he couldn't get healthy.

And so I got on that one pill.

They got him off the other pill.

And then he got addicted to that pill.

And he had like no hope.

And he started to run 10 miles every single day.

And within five years became

the fastest marathoner in his age group.

And really amazing stuff.

But that's how he got clean too.

Yeah.

The unconditional no people

are really good at unconditional yes.

And like who?

Structure.

Like structure is amazing.

You know, Ken,

I draw a lot of strength from you,

to be honest with you.

Like, you know,

like,

like,

we, we,

I'm using the we,

like me and Jim,

like me and Jim hang out.

But we talk about

you,

the standard is the standard.

Like,

like,

the most important thing is you don't negotiate,

don't negotiate with yourself.

Like,

you,

if you win,

you know,

you keep promises to yourself.

I'm not saying,

I'm not saying that I'm perfect.

But what you do is you keep promises to yourself.

The most successful people I know,

not only are really highly ritualized

and have great habits and great processes,

but they keep promises to themselves.

And that sounds like that's exactly

what you're doing.

And dude,

I really congratulate you.

It's amazing that you've done this

and you've beaten this back.

And I would imagine you would tell me,

yeah, it's all part of a process.

Let me ask you one more thing.

What's it say about Apollo?

Apollo was not trying to get healthy

or anything other than this kid.

This kid.

He's a college kid.

Got it in his head

that I read about Moab.

And I've never run more than a hundred miles,

but I want to know what it would be like

to test myself mentally,

physically,

and emotionally,

and run to 40.

And on his first try,

he did.

This is an upper middle class

suburban kid from Irvine.

What's that tell you about that kid?

He's got good people around him.

Right?

Like, his parents must be amazing.

The gym rooms in his life must be amazing

because he's figured it out.

Like, I was 40 years old

when I figured out to stop negotiating with myself.

Apollo figured that out.

Decades ahead of me.

And I wish I was so far out in front of it

because that's the deal, Jim.

You cannot negotiate with yourself.

The standard is the standard.

Let me jump in right now.

Let me jump in right now.

Here is what is known as a soft run.

You told me how old you were.

So I hate to do that

from somebody who's recovering

from substance abuse

who is making it such a good conversation.

Lauren, I appreciate you, Braille.

As you appreciate,

a rule is a rule.

We can't stay at age.

That was a soft run.

That was a soft run.

But you made a great point.

Apollo did figure out stuff

as a teenager

that it took me years,

decades to figure out.

Apollo, in case you're not following this conversation,

he is one of Logan's best friends.

They've just got a crew.

And this crew

helped Apollo run the Moab

240 and Logan ran 90 of the miles.

Apollo ran all 240 of the miles.

However,

and I'm really thankful for this kid.

I love this kid.

He's arguably...

He's well questioned

one of the most unique

young people I've ever met in my life.

But he taught Logan

about negotiating with yourself

when they were in high school.

He would see logs kind of

slacking a little bit.

He's like,

logs, man.

You need to get it together.

You need to have a schedule.

You need...

And he got like...

He had his printout,

like Logan.

Here's what you need to do.

And he did out of love.

Like he loved his boy.

Like...

Apollo's all together,

man.

Apollo comes from this incredible family.

His brothers are incredible.

His parents are incredible.

He's incredible.

But Apollo's an amazing friend

because he saw his boy over here

and he's like,

there they are.

There's...

If you're watching on the stream,

there's Logan and Apollo.

Apollo's on the left.

Apollo's like, dude,

I know that you're capable

of so much better.

But even if you're not going to

reach your 100%

potential,

you got to do better

than you're doing.

And you can.

And you should.

And I'm going to help you.

So let's drop a schedule for you

at an Excel sheet,

and a spreadsheet,

and just do what you got to do.

And then when he got it in his head,

these kids...

I can't stress this enough

from the bubble of Orange County,

Irvine, California.

You can't imagine a more

bubble existence.

It's the most suburban thing ever.

Like these kids can't wait to leave.

Apollo just got it in his head

as a peak performer,

a high achiever,

and somebody wanted to test himself.

I want to try and run 240 miles.

And people are like,

are you out of your mind?

He's like, no.

No, I'm going to research this,

and then he put a team together,

and the team was the kids he grew up with.

And Logan playing baseball

would never run more than three miles,

I don't think,

before this started.

So it's a great story.

Hey, bro, learn.

Good job, dude.

I said that I would interview somebody

if they had a good story to tell.

And you had a good story to tell.

It worked.

It finally worked.

And yeah, I am,

I am actually interested in that.

Kind of thing.

I'm not interested in doing it,

but I'm interested in the mindset that it takes

and the physical commitment.

So that was cool.

Bro, sorry I had to run you,

but you stated your age

that will get everybody run no matter what.

Because a rule was a rule,

but luckily we had a good enough conversation

before that happened.

So I appreciate you, dude.

Keep on keeping on.

Great job by you.

All right.

When we come back,

it's made TPs.

Some thoughts?

Do you want to register

or add to this conversation?

Go ahead.

Michigan and Zona.

Man, I feel, I feel for both of them.

They both looked amazing over the weekend.

And nobody's really talking about either one of them.

Because of what happened between Duke and Yukon,

but Michigan and Arizona arguably

have been outside of Duke.

The two best teams in the country this year.

Either one of them can win the nadi right now.

And then you got these two coaches.

Dusty May, who was in the final four with FAU.

It's amazing as it is.

He's got Michigan there in year two.

He's jacked up as they were when he showed up.

Getting FAU there is still more amazing.

But Michigan's close.

Give one he inherited.

And Tommy Lloyd.

He's got Arizona there

with a look at a national championship

for the first time since 97 to amazing coaches.

Two great teams.

And really nobody's talking about them

because what happened yesterday.

All right.

We'll hit on that in the after hour with James Kelly.

But we're not done yet here.

Stay tuned.

You're listening to the Jim Rome show.

President Barack Obama.

Virginia, we are counting on you.

Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress

to raid the next election

and wield unchecked power for two more years.

But you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st.

Help put our elections back on a level playing field

and let voters decide not politicians.

Vote yes by April 21st.

Now that I think about it, that Duke weekend

was even worse than I thought.

Now that I think about it.

The Blue Devil women's team also got beat.

Because of course they did.

Who did they got up?

UCLA.

And who do you think coaches UCLA?

Corey Close.

He's a friend of mine.

Don't believe me?

Ask her.

She said, yeah, Jim Rome's friend of mine.

Why?

Because we're both gouchos.

Corey Close, the coach of UCLA,

who has the lady Bruins in the final four again,

was a star player at UC Santa Barbara.

She's a goucho legend and an incredible coach

and UCLA beat Duke.

So not a good weekend for Duke.

I see you, Corey.

I see you, goucho.

Great job.

I told her it was much too.

V.

V, have you not done enough damage?

V, that call.

That call should have been enough.

Enough dopamine, jungle dopamine,

to get you through the rest of the month.

Like, I mean, all of next month.

But he's back for more within ATP.

ATP.

Thank you and Tom for confirming Jews miss next Friday.

Oh, dude.

All right.

First things first.

We didn't confirm anything.

So you're not welcome.

He goes on.

But what about April 7th?

Oh, what's April 7th, you ask?

Well, that's Chan Ho fart day.

Switch immediately.

I'm going to stop right there and say no such day exists.

But I guarantee it's not April 7th.

No pun intended V.

But I know you pull that out of your ass.

But wait, look at the post.

Look at the post.

Is there something to that post?

Oh, what do we have here?

Chan Ho Park's famous quote,

a lot of diarrhea and a quote interview

took place on April 7th, 2010.

If he do not have anything better to do,

then chart and track these things.

We're not celebrating that on the seventh.

We are not celebrating Jews miss

because it does not exist.

He goes on to say quote,

we call that day mud's giving,

runs giving.

Now you know what we call that day V?

April 7th.

We're going to call that day April 7th.

You know, the day that it is,

April 7th.

Bro, you need to stop.

You're like Tiger, you can't.

You need a driver.

A driver for your phone, V.

That's private.

Happens to us all.

What else do we have here?

Bro, bro, do not come at rank in the after hour.

We've had enough, V.

Put that phone down.

That phone is not for diarrhea or Jews miss.

V, take the day off.

I know you V.

Put that the coffee down.

Luckily, Adam Rank is not working today.

So you don't need to come at him in the after hour.

I got the big head.

And you and here on the same page.

V, take the rest of the day off.

That's good.

And I mean that.

We're good.

It's not a suggestion.

We're good, V.

Hey, Jimmy.

Happy Monday.

Of late, I've actually been able to hear the glorious words

a bit as I've been more emboldened to call on actual topics.

But where exactly did the Rackim sound bite originate from?

Rackim.

Great question.

So you know what it means when we rack callers, obviously.

We've been around.

But where did that drop come from?

It came from this.

Show them the video.

Rackim.

Braveheart.

As always, the video to match the audio is wild.

Because for so many years, we've only played these audio drops.

And only since we started to stream the program ourselves,

did we start to match the video to the audio.

It's wild.

I don't remember the last time I actually saw that video to go with that audio drop.

And every single time we do that, I have the same reaction like damn.

In terms of why did I start to rack people?

Because way, way, way back in the day, I tried to create a mini smack off every single day.

I tried to get you all to compete with one another

to win the huge call of the day.

We would save every single phone call.

And I would try to get somebody to be better than the rest on any given day.

And back in the day, we actually would have some prizes.

So if I wanted to save a call that I thought might be good enough,

there might be under consideration.

I would say that I'll be rack him.

Rack him.

Rack him.

Rack that call.

Rack that call.

And then somebody probably I'll be found the video to match it.

There you go.

Amber is in with an ATP, Romeo.

Have you been to Javier's location in Cabo?

We're going to check it out on our annual trip coming up,

taking my mom from Mother's Day dinner,

wondering if it's as amazing as amazing as the other locations.

I assume so.

Just curious if you have been, right, Amber?

One thing about that.

Unless something's changed.

So way back in the day, we had a home in Cabo.

So we would go to Cabo.

And there was a Javier's.

Now this is years ago.

I've not been recently.

We stopped going to Cabo.

And now we go to Punta Minta.

But we went to Javier's, but it's in San Jose.

It's not in Cabo.

Unless my guy built one in Cabo,

and he has one in Cabo and San Jose.

Now you can get a San Jose, obviously, if you're in Cabo.

But it's not in Cabo.

It's in San Jose.

If we're talking about the same location,

I went years ago.

It was relatively new right on the beach.

Man, freaking beautiful, beautiful.

As you'd expect from a Javier's establishment.

When we went for whatever reason,

I don't remember when we were there.

It was not that crowded.

It was not that normal Javier's club vibe.

It just was kind of slow that day.

But the restaurant itself, this was years ago,

was absolutely gorgeous.

And I mean, on the sand.

Not with the view of the beach, but physically, on the sand.

Not like in Crystal Cove, where it's in a beautiful place.

But you can see water.

I mean, this is physically on the sand.

I would do it, for sure, Amber.

We had a great experience.

But that was years ago.
