What is your beef again?

You can beef about anything you want.

Just come strong.

Keep it tight.

That's all I ask.

Keep it tight.

Get in.

Get out.

Keep moving.

All right.

Let's go to the phones first.

I'm going to start in Charleston.

At the very bottom, miles in Charleston, miles always good to see a bro with your

beef.

Rome.

Good.

Great.

Listen in as always, man.

Listen.

Eldrick made what these losers are calling a quote unquote, come back this week.

I have a beef with someone hitting into a bed sheet in a video game with the Grand Canyon

in the background.

Hey, losers.

That's not a come back.

Unwar, washed up, flandering has been Jim.

I'm out, brother.

Miles.

Always coming strong.

Miles never disappoints 1-8-0-0-6-36, 8-6-8-6, it's going to Michigan, Jack, and Michigan.

Good to have you, Jack.

What is your beef?

My beef is with the people that plan the construction projects on the highway.

Yeah, I know you got a couple of potholes in the bridge deck.

You could fix them in the middle of the night and cause no backups, but you decided to do

it during rush hour and cause a five-mile backup plan better, you're cougs.

You know, it's even worse, Jack, when they don't plan anything at all and they don't fix

them and then you drive into one.

Is there anything worse than hitting a pothole?

Man, I hate that so much.

In fact, I even know my commute where some of these non-fix potholes are and I try and

anticipate them and I hit them anyway.

That's my beef.

I know where they are.

I know they're coming and I still can't get around them.

Man, I hate that so much.

1-800-6-36, 8-6-8-6, what's going to H-town, Larry, in Houston, good to have you, Larry,

what's your beef?

Go Cougs.

Hey, Jim, my beef is with the high cost of gasoline and food.

The only place that I haven't raised prices are Costco's $1.50 hot dogs in Soda and $20

lap dance set the strip clubs.

Bro, I don't know about the last thing.

I would love to say exactly, preach, preach.

I don't know whether or not inflation has hit the strippers.

I don't know whether or not you can still get that lap dance for $20 but I do know about

gas and food.

I do frequent dose establishments.

The establishments that I do frequent would include the market and the gas station.

That you speak the truth.

I mean, it's a good thing that when I go to the gas station, it does cap at a hundred bucks.

Otherwise, I would still be filling up my tank, 325, you're right, dude, drag.

But in terms of inflation at the strip club, I do not know.

Haven't been.

Let's go to the scoop club.

It's my man, Pac-Man.

Let's go to Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, it doesn't put my man's in the Bay Area, Kevin

in the Bay Area, Kevin, what's up?

Whoops.

My beef is with Dordas pizza restaurant.

I texted the customer, would you like parmesan peppers?

He says, yeah, grab a handful each.

So I also got it behind the counter.

Or for four, mochot parmesan peppers for three extra large pizzas.

He gives me seven packets each, you know those little packets, there's like 40 slices.

You jerk.

Now the customer is going to blame me.

Oh, oh, and Rome, sorry about the other day, I meant five road games with the Lakers.

And last night was their six and they almost blew it in the fourth against the Pacers.

They're tired.

Where did that come from, Kevin?

Not only did I get a Rome, I think this first time I've ever gotten any kind of reading

from him or acknowledgement who I am, Rome, and then all of a sudden at the very end,

he apologizes for making a mistake on an actual sports take earlier in the week, like where

did that come from?

Hey man, they're tired out.

The thing about Kevin that I love, pretty much everything, that voice man, that voice is

so funny to me, that he's so angry, but so weird and quirky.

And he never, ever runs out of beefs about his customers on DoorDash.

Bro, you could get another job.

You seem absolutely miserable.

And if this is the way you show up for the beef segment once a week, how are you the rest

of the day every day doing that job?

You hate the customers, you hate the job, you must hate your life.

Because why wouldn't you if you hate your job that much?

Kevin!

It's done!

Another job dude, try for Uber, try for Lyft, do anything but what you're doing.

He never runs out of beefs about that job, incredible.

And the energy and anger he brings to it.

What's your beef?

It's going to fill a rich in, fill a good, happy rich.

What's your beef?

Well, me Rome, my beef is what people call hot dogs glizzies, they're not glizzies, they're

hot dogs, the vendor at the ballpark is a yell and get your glizzies, there's no signs

at the ballpark selling glizzies, nowhere on earth is the word glizzie printed on a package.

But now everybody calls them glizzies, I've written some food journalists, I've written

two articles on hot dogs in my career, one for the Philadelphia Daily News, one for Edible

Jersey Magazine, look them up and nobody, none of these experts call them glizzies.

Do you know what glizzies are first to?

It refers to a glock, a glock is an epistle, no, they're not pistols, they're hot dogs,

they're frankfurters, they're weeners, don't call them glizzies, I'm out.

Hey rich, good job.

See, here's the thing rich, one again, I don't know why you're talking so low, but it works

for me.

The thing about that rich, I like that, and normally I would say man, get in, get out,

you don't need to keep going, you made your point, but I actually like that point that

you were making.

Why are people calling hot dogs glizzies?

They're not glizzies.

You can't go to the market and say, hey, when somebody says, hey, you need help finding

anything, sir, did you find everything you were looking for?

No, I didn't find the glizzies, what do you keep your glizzies?

We don't, we don't have glizzies, what are you talking about, sir?

Yes, you know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about glizzies, I want the ballpark

glizzies, I want the glizzies that plump when you cook them, you know what I'm talking

about.

Stop acting like you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about glizzies.

And by the way, it's not a reason to go if somebody puts a catch up on a glizzy, all

right?

People do that.

Am I right, Rich?

Am I right?

You wrote those columns, you know?

Now what I didn't know, Rich, I didn't know the glizzies actually refer to clocks, all

right?

So that's different.

Hey, Rich, were you not the dude who thought that I fell for the Phil Jackson news yesterday?

Yes, you are, Rich, you're the same Rich and Philly.

Now Rich, help me, my brother, how can you show up with a beef like that that I actually

like where you seem dialed in?

And then you're the guy yesterday who came at me with like, come on, Rome.

It's like an April fool's joke.

They weren't hiring Phil Jackson, wake up, talk show host, damn, Rich, Rich, how can, how

can that, that was the whole take?

How can the guy who just made that phone call have sent me that post yesterday?

How can you be the same guy, Rich?

Rich, how can you be that guy?

I don't get it.

And now Rich, you've dragged me down.

Now I've lost my rhythm, I've lost my flow.

I was supposed to be in the middle of a glizzy segment or beef segment.

Damn Rich, hey Rich, I was going to look up your two articles that you wrote.

And so I remember that you were the same Rich and Philly that tried to call me out for

not understanding the Phil Jackson post.

I will not be looking up your post Rich and I take it back, that was not a good beef.

What I am going to go do is order a bunch of glizzies with ketchup and I'm going to order

them and call them glizzies and I'm going to go chestnut on those glizzies.

I bet I could smash 20 glizzies in 20 seconds Rich.

1-800-636-8686.

Let's go to Phoenix.

Patrick in Phoenix, Patrick, what's your beef?

What is up in the box?

My beef is I'm in Vegas for the pizza expo.

I'm here on business.

I got things to do.

I'm not trying to lose money.

Move out of the way when you're standing on the escalators so I can get down the flight

stairs as quickly as possible, not the slowest way possible.

War putting ketchup on glizzies, War P in Phoenix, War Desert Biss or Cross.

I'm out.

Let's go, dude.

There you go.

War putting ketchup on glizzies.

I do.

Catch up, little mustard, relish if I'm in the mood, but always catch up.

Always catch up.

Sorry about it.

Sorry about it Chicago.

Sorry about it.

I just don't think that's the reason to go.

Why don't you try Orlando?

Oh, like that.

Scott in Orlando.

Good to have you.

Scott, what's your beef?

Hey, Jim.

How you doing?

Good, dude.

Listen, I'm so glad Jake got to go to or actually looking at to go to Barcelona.

I just went there last year and my beef is something you don't know about me because I'm

actually Tyler Glaznow, hi, like six, eight.

So planes and fitting into cars is just completely ridiculous.

I literally don't think they're gonna stop seats and planes until they cram like 800 seats

in the thing.

By the time I got to Barcelona, I had to recover for like three days.

So it's a rough world for tall people.

Anyway, I'm glad you got to go and experience the world.

I'm out.

That's funny.

You know, it's like, it's a six footers world, right?

Not a seven footers world.

I bet it does suck to be six eight.

Hey, Scott, you didn't even get into.

He says, it sucks because you can't find clothes that fit.

It sucks when you have to travel, especially that far when you're six foot eight.

Bro, what about all the tall jokes and you didn't hit me with any of that?

Hey, man, how's the weather up there?

I bet that sucks too.

I don't know, bro, if you're six eight, I would imagine those things probably were challenging,

but I would imagine almost everything else about it is better.

You are looking down on the rest of us, but then again, I mean, like, I want to say

that we would all pick six eight, but you're right.

If you're riding, if you're flying overseas, and especially if you're flying back in,

I don't know, row 15, it probably would suck to be six eight.

I don't dispute that.

Let's go to Tulsa.

I like it.

I like it a lot.

Robert in Tulsa.

Great to have you.

What's your beef?

Oh, I'll tell you what, hey, I own a liquor store and I've owned it for like 10 years.

Why is it that now that everybody comes in, they're always saying how the tariffs affected

our business, you know, with the liquor and everything like that, it has not affected

my business whatsoever, but they want to blame it on the reason why liquor goes up every

year.

It does go up every year, but people don't seem to, when they want to look at tariffs,

now they want to blame it on liquor or the, they want the cost of liquor goes up because

of the tariffs, but that's just not true.

None of it is.

I mean, groceries go up, liquor goes up, gasoline goes up, and everybody wants to

always blame.

Maybe not.

Let me ask you something.

Normally, I don't jump in.

Normally, I don't jump in and ask you a question, but before the last couple of years,

did anybody ever complain to you about the price of liquor going up?

Did they know?

Did they complain?

No, not at all.

It's always a trend.

You know, every year, it's like, cigarettes go up, liquor goes up, all that stuff, but

all of a sudden, when this big move on the tariffs, all of a sudden, here we go, and I knew

that would happen and sure enough, at like clockwork, people start going, well, how's that

affecting your business?

I'm like, it doesn't.

I say, guys, it's always gone up every year.

Got it.

Got it.

All right, my man.

There you go.

What he's saying is, stop with the tariffs.

Don't blame everything on the tariffs.

Yo, liquor goes up every year.

You've never, ever complained to me about your liquor because you got to have your liquor

and you know your liquor goes up every single year.

I think what it is, my man, I don't want to speak on behalf of your customers.

I think what's going on, because if you notice during this segment, we've had multiple

phone calls about the price of things going up.

I think what people are sensitive about is everything is going up.

Glass, food, liquor, sigs, glizzies, everything.

The price of everything is going up, so everybody's on edge.

It's so true.

And then again, if you're in retail or you're selling anything at all and the people are

pushing back and they're not buying, you're going to be pissed.

I just don't think it's fair, my man, to act like you're the only one affected.

The price, what name one thing, the price is not going up on.

I can't be amazing.

Everything I know costs more than it did before.

And it sucks.

I agree.

It does suck.

It's going to the ABQ, Earl in Albuquerque, great to have Earl, whatcha be for?

My I'm Mr. Vance, Matt, you know, here's a deal, people call me and then I take the call

and then they say, what are you doing?

And I'm like, what, were you calling me to ask me what I'm doing?

I don't want to tell you what I'm doing and maybe you don't even want to know what I'm

doing.

Why are you asking me what I'm doing?

You call me, hold me, what's up?

Hey, who are all trapper in the clear view bag, that's what I'm in.

My hand, nice job, dude.

Earl like that.

That almost had nothing to do with nothing and it made me laugh.

He's like, I got to be for people calling me up and asking me what I'm doing.

First of all, it's under your business, what I'm doing, second of all, you probably

don't want to even know what I'm doing and third of all, you called me, did you call me

to ask me what I'm doing?

I'm going to start doing that with the crew, like with the crew, after the long days,

they come home and they're like, good, good.

Don't have to think about the show really, well, the good crew members do think about

the show when they go home because they're games.

But I'm going to start calling you all, hey, Tommy, what are you doing, man?

Nothing, you have prepping, spending time with a wife, everything all right?

Yeah, I just want to know what you were doing, Tom.

What are you doing?

Hey, Lauren, fan smack, oh, hey, Jim, what are you doing, Lauren, gaming, what are you

doing, Jim?

You see, Lauren would be fine with it, Lauren would be bemused, Lauren be like, this

kind of funny, Jim's calling me, let me see, hey boss, what's up, hey, Lauren, what

are you doing?

Hey, Lauren.

Look at Lauren when he played for the vikes, I love that, good luck, dude.

Yeah, I'm just gaming, I'm just reading, I'm just in a book club meeting, what are you

doing, Jim?

Nothing?

Oh, is there, and Lauren literally would say, is there anything I can help you with?

No, no, I just want to know what you're doing, ABQ, let's go, all right, so let's break,

let's break, and it's a good segment, I'm having fun with this.

You have earned yourselves a second segment.

All right, so a second beef segment, because the first one was good, it was strong.

Welcome back.

I'm Jim Rome.

Let's get some written beefs in here.

I know how beefed you get when I don't read your written beefs.

I would say my beef is with the preset buttons on microwaves.

Who the hell is slipping a pizza or potato in the microwave, pushing the pizza or potato

button and expecting it to heat correctly?

Interesting.

I didn't know there was a potato button on the microwave.

I usually just get the fork, jam that baked potato in there, smash it with the fork several

times, put it in there for seven or eight minutes, then put it in the oven on bake.

Jimmy, my beef is with people with convertibles who ride with the top down, but roll the windows

up.

If you're worried about the wind or your lettuce getting messed up, trade it in and get

a minivan, Scott in Milton, I've had convertibles.

I do not have one right now, but I agree.

I've never really understood that.

I'd rare as the day like, if it's too cold, then you don't put the top down.

So why the windows up, Jim, my beef is with my daughter.

She comes home from college for spring break.

Hey, at least she came home and didn't go to Barcelona in Ireland.

She comes home from college for spring break and brings with her the latest virus going

around the dorms.

Now the family is sick.

Come on, kid.

Go folks, Jim and Aurora, yeah, I get that, except when they were kids, they'd bring

it home, right?

They always bring it home.

They bring it home with their kids, they bring it home with their in college.

And by the way, you're going to get sick anyway.

We all get sick.

Are you going to hate Jim?

Are you going to get on an airplane anytime soon?

You're going to get sick.

Has anybody ever gotten on to and gotten off of an airplane and not gotten sick?

I know I haven't.

No matter what I do.

Quote, my beef is with Nebraska fans who think that they are the biggest bush light drinkers

in the country.

Every bar in Indianapolis would run out of bush lattes within hours of fans getting

there the night before the conference championship game.

And it's what we give out on Halloween.

All right, Jim, my beef is with youth hockey coaches.

He's pompous, pretentious, freaking bags running around acting like it's the N H freaking

L news flash you pigeons.

You are just volunteers.

You fall into a category called anybody.

It's not that serious.

Let the kids play.

Thanks.

Justin Rochester.

Romy, my beef is with the guy who talks like he's from the deep south, though he wasn't

born in the south, never been to the south.

He just knows Matthew Mac gets good run with that southern draw.

All right, all right, all right.

Are you paying attention, Brian Kelly?

I have a Coleman in.

What's going to do, brothers, Oregon, man, brother written beef is making me work today.

Jane 208, my beef is with people who drive with their stupid little dogs on their lap

is specially the older crowd.

Your reaction time has already been diminished over the years, but let's add a living distraction

between you and the steering wheel.

Keep your damn dog at home.

All right, there you go, yay, we're going to get me back on path.

Well written, well said, Mr. Jingle is 007.

My beef is with my wife.

Just because I got a Saturday off for the first time in two months does not mean it gives

you the right to throw the chorus book in my face.

Keep your ass in bed and it will get done.

Trust the process, bro.

The chorus book.

You got to learn some songs or you're going to church or what's going on?

My beef is with landscapers.

Can that damn blower get any louder?

Is it possible?

Where the hell did you get that thing?

Is it run on diesel?

Anger and pH, that's probably, probably, Jim, my beef is with old Trapper beef jerky.

It's so good.

I finished it all.

Now I have to go back to the store, Todd and San Diego, kind of a cheap way to get through,

but true, but true.

Adam Taylor 0425, my beef is with riff, the neighborhood cat.

He uses my truck hood as his leisure spot, dude.

That pearl white paint is not scratch resistance, holler at the ladies elsewhere.

War IRA using fishing wire to keep the cats off his rig and V in the fee, adding a fart

can to his Honda.

Tony and Salt Lake is in.

My beef is when you buy a new truck and a week later, a delivery driver crashes into

it while you're at work.

Now I have to deal with shady insurance companies to get my new baby fixed beyond frustrating.

That is dude.

There's my man Vincent Fresno, my beef, adults who wear rally caps.

Romy, my beef is with the reps that brought me to Brewers opening day.

These purist dorks are insisting we stay until the end of the game, bro.

We're up 11 to one in the sixth.

I'm smashed.

I'm ready for more parking lot Cornhole.

We're the white socks, finding the damn strike zone so we can go home.

Mike in SE Wisconsin, the purist dorks.

Romy I have a beef.

Even a person who has a book coming out is being interviewed and they feel they need

to preface everything by saying, well, I talk about it in my book.

Even though the host mentions it at the beginning and the end of the interview, just give

a thoughtful interview.

If you're interesting enough, maybe we'll read your damn book, Jeff C.N.N.C.

Bro, do you host a show?

He's got a point man.

He's got a point.

The only thing more annoying than, as I say in my book, yeah, I know the interview, most

of the prep is taken from your book.

We're talking about your book.

You don't need to keep directing me to buy the book.

Okay.

It's right.

The only thing more annoying than that, Jeff, is when you try to ask them about the book

and then they won't tell you because they say, easy, Rome, don't want to give up too

much.

You want to buy the book.

Wait a minute.

You were booked on the condition.

We talk about your book and now you won't talk about your book because you're afraid that

if I get too much out of you, they won't buy the book.

That's me as you're more annoying than constantly resetting.

Well, as I mentioned in my book, easy, Rome, stop asking me about the book.

Oh, the book that you were booked to talk about, you mean that book?

I hate to say this because I like the guy.

But you know who hit me with that recently?

Toddium.

Todd Merinavitch did that.

I hate it.

Toddium, sorry, bro, but you did do that.

In fact, I want to say you did it twice.

Todd, your life is insane.

Your life's incredible.

You finally put it in a book.

I couldn't wait to talk to you about it and then you're telling me, can we stop talking

about it?

Bro, if your life is in the book and we can't talk about what's in the book, what are

we talking about?

Help me with that.

We're having an interview about your life, your memoir, but I can't ask you about what's

in the book.

Then what are we talking about?

Romi, no, count Smacula.

My beef is with Iowa fan.

He would have you believe that Iowa has never actually lost a game in any sport, either

the refs screwed them or the ball was overinflated or the playing surface was crappy or the other

team's pet band was playing too loudly during timeouts.

I try not to categorize or stereotype large groups of people, but these people are insufferable.

Derek in Des Moines.

That's from Iowa.

That's somebody from Iowa talking about Iowa fan.

Man is back.

Damn, Ken.

You're having a day, bro.

Rome.

My beef is that I've known someone a few years and thought she had a nose piercing, but

finally realized it was a mole on the side of their nose.

It's a lie, Ken.

What's that a beef, dude?

That's on you.

That's not a beef.

It's an observation and it's on you, on that, bro.

It's not on the ring.

It's not on her.

It's you for not knowing.

For it taking three years to find out or realize that that was actually a mole and not

a piercing.

We can walk us off.

Should we go to the phones for a walkoff?

Let's try it.

I'm telling you, we are loaded, though.

I could do this for another hour easy, but I want to stay on the clock.

Somebody's going to walk me off.

Let's go to St. Pete, Robert in St. Pete, Robert, what's your beef?

Hey, Jim, great to talk to you, man.

Long time going back to out, Tampa tour stopped 30 years ago or whatever with so far,

Trapper.

It's incredible.

My beef, though, really quick, is with sports announcers that have a frog in their throat,

the entire game.

If you're going on air, clear your throat, you hack.

Bob brother, nice job.

Robert, appreciate you coming to that Tampa tour stop back in the day.

The problem is, it's not always a matter of clearing your throat.

If only were that easy, if somebody's made a living with their voice and over the years

I've gotten sick and I try to play through it, it's not a matter of, oh, hold up.

It's like the frog is there like you're sick.

It's not a frog and it's not an almond.

I mean, if it only weren't almond and I still fight that fight because again, I have

eight almonds every morning.

Now sometimes we're sick and we don't want to miss work.

So I know that's frustrating if you're a viewer or a listener, but like if you're doing

the NFC championship game and you're not 100% as they say, nobody is 100% this time of

year.

You try to play through it.

I can't walk off on that.

I can't.

Let's try Tampa, the prior color, call her mentioned Tampa, Bob in Tampa, Bob, what's

up?

What's your beef?

Hey, Vance Mac, my beef is with YouTube.

They suck.

Any time I go to take a shower, I want to listen to like a doc or some music or something,

so I burn my phone in.

I find something good.

I put it on and I get like maybe a third of the way soaked up and I get some crappy

ass commercial talking about a little blue pill or some female products, you know, and

I'm stuck listening to them covered in soap.

I hate that.

That's different.

Bro, you bring your phone in the shower with you.

You can't get through a shower without content.

See, not ordinarily, I would say you can't skip those ads in five seconds, but not to

your point if you're soaked up.

I can remember back in the day, I had a roommate in college and a homeboy put a radio in

the shower.

You have to understand.

This goes way, way, way, way back.

And I thought that was like the most unbelievable technological advance and life changing move.

I'm like, holy crap and not even like Apple music or music on demand or something you

have in a playlist, not a playlist, just a radio, like an FM radio in our shower and

it's waterproof and we can bump tunes.

Man, this is amazing.

But bro, I never bring my iPhone in the shower.

What kind of phone do you have that you're watching content in the shower?

Do you have a TV in your shower?

Probably some folks do.

I don't know, maybe you leave it out, whatever, whatever the case, maybe you can say, however

you're consuming content, let me put it to another way.

You can't get through a seven minute shower without content.

Man, I'm in there to get done when I got to get done and get the hell out.

Like I said, I've got this thing in the new house.

It's not a new house now.

We've been this house over a year, but the house, if you go to a hotel, you see this.

For whatever reason, the light is on a timer.

My light over my bathroom sink is on a timer.

We bought one of the models, so I think that's why they did that.

And so I have this game I play with myself every single day.

I want to get out of the house or out of the shower and out of the bathroom before the

timer goes off.

So I'm not in the shower in the morning, consuming content.

I'm trying to get in and out and beat that freaking light that I hate that turns off.

I don't mind walking off on that.

That was kind of funny.

Bro, sorry about the YouTube ads that roll while you're soped up.

I don't know, dude, mixing an ad blocker or just get your work done in the shower and get

the hell out and then pick up your content where it was.

How long do you spend in the shower?

How long does a dude spend in the shower generally?

Now we're done.

Great job, clones.

Outstanding job.

Thanks to my pals at Old Trapper who make the greatest beef jerky ever.

And I mean, ever still ahead, the after hour, I mean, we got a day, we have a lot of work

still yet.

The after hour is going to be Adam Rank, myself, the big head, James Kelly.

We're going to hit the games in the after hour before they tip.

And then after the after hour, James Kelly and I are going to do an extended version of

the podcast, one normal version of the podcast, and then hit the other sweet 16 games.

So you're completely covered on the sweet 16.

All of that is 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.

Abby had to weigh in, Abby, I encourage it, it scares me when you weigh in, but I would

never discourage you from weighing in because I know you love the show.

See, she's not doing it for a fact, whenever you see anything right now, you have to ask

yourself, what is it fake?

Is it AI?

And number two is the person who's doing it or saying it, do they actually believe it?

Or they're just saying it to say it to provoke reaction and get clicks?

Because not only do clicks equal dopamine, clicks equal money.

So whenever I see anything, I always wonder, is it fake?

Is it AI?

Two, is the person saying it to the even actually mean it?

Abby, Abby says things that are very provocative, but I know she means it.

I know Abby's not doing it for clicks.

I know Abby's not doing it to get paid.

Abby's doing it because she's being real.

And I don't even think she's doing it for shock value.

I don't think that Abby sends me things like this just so be like, oh, watch me mess

with Rome.

Watch me get a reaction out of Jimmy.

He's just being Abby.

All right.

So now that I've said all that at Romy's, my homie, that's her handle.

I watch porn hub in the shower, just saying, more lady clone, thanks, Abby, more lady

clones.

Thanks.

Thank you.

As always for playing the game, Abby.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey, so Abby, let me ask you what happens when the inevitable ads come on?

Are you as mad as that guy?

How do you handle it?

And how do you watch it in the shower?

I'm afraid if I start asking her questions, she will start answering them.

How are you all viewing content in the shower?

Is there a speaker outside?

Hey, have you wired it to Bluetooth?

I don't need content for seven minutes.

No, no, no, you're not putting your phone.

Look, so we have a home on a lake.

You can get these bags to put your phone in when you're on the lake, when you're on a

boat.

I understand that, right?

Because if you're going to go out on a boat and say you're going out on a pontoon

and you're going to go out for the day or a half day and you have your phone, you might

want to put your phone in one of those bags.

They sell them.

They're specific to that purpose.

I should know.

I was thinking about this the other day.

Do you remember the first time I went to the North Woods and I had back in the day?

This is how long we've been there because I don't even do stuff like this anymore.

I bought this super exotic wooden blue iPhone, painted blue wood, and I bought it overseas

and it cost me a freaking fortune and I'm just sitting there on the dock having a good

old day with my shorts on and my phones and my shorts and it slipped out into the water.

No!

I can't even say how special that phone was.

Imagine your normal stock iPhone that you buy from Apple and how expensive they are.

This is not a political statement I'm making either.

It says nothing to do with tariffs, all right?

This is not me talking politics on either side.

I'm just saying these things are not cheap, right?

We know this.

So imagine me finding a dude overseas that customized the phone.

It's like painted blue wood.

It was beautiful, man.

Dropped it in the water.

I couldn't have gotten in that lake fast enough on my knees trying to look through the muck to get it.

Anyway, my point is they make bags so that doesn't happen.

Are you people bringing phones in ziplocs into the shower to watch content?

All right, final play along.

How do you listen to it?

How are you hearing it over the shower?

Even if it's dry, it's in a ziploc bag.

I didn't even know.

And again, I'm not in the shower for more than five to seven minutes, man.

I want to get in and out, man.

Shampoo, condition, face soap, body soap, bam.

Now I'm done.

I can get through an entire shower without scrolling, without doom scrolling, without watching some dock.

Now, if you want to have a beef about a shower, the beef about the shower is going to a hotel

and there's no longer bar soap, that's your beef.

I hate that, man.

Anyway, anyway, Abby, consume your porn any way you will because I know you will.

Hey, what's next, Abby?

Should I ask you this?

Hey, Abby, I have a question.

Do you watch your porn on a phone or do you watch your porn on a laptop or do you watch your porn

on a big screen to watch it on your plasma?

Don't care, Abby.

Don't answer.

Don't answer, Abby.

I know you.

Abby's like, I got an answer.

Romance, my homie.

Oh, there's Nick the clone.

Nick will text me.

A couple of times a week.

Always love getting a text from Nick.

But man, I got to be real.

I love seeing Nick post on X.

That's when he gets real.

Hey, Jim.

What do you do when you're nearing the end of an almond container?

And as you count out eight almonds, you realize there are nine.

Do you treat yourself to an extra round of almond?

Good question, Nick.

You know what?

I don't do that myself.

DJ.

DJ does that because if not for DJ, I wouldn't even eat almonds.

DJ does this as a service to me.

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret.

DJ, not one, not two, not three, but eight.

Every single day, I have a little baggy.

And in that baggy is a vitamin C, is an omega, is just a third pill.

I don't know what it is.

And eight almonds and a little piece of calcium chocolate

because DJ thinks that we're not getting younger and does not want our bones to shatter.

That's where those almonds come from.

If DJ did not make those little baggies up, I would not bring a little baggy.

Hey, Roman, that's sweet.

Your wife packed you a lunch.

No, no, she's packed me a bag of almonds and omega oil and a vitamin C and some other

vitamin that I don't know what it is.

War opening day, war of the Dodgers going back to back.

War of Scott Milton crying in his soup about the Padres sucking another year.

Sign Mike in the Bay Dodger Hawk.

All right, that's three hours.

We're not done.

We have a fourth hour and we have a fifth hour.

Hey, my plan of going from five hours to a Rome report is not working.

Today is a five hour day.
