We are, in fact, on Westwood One, but do not forget, we are also on the X platform and on the Rome Fast channel.

What's going on? A tremendous Wednesday to you, or around here it's known as Hump Day. Avi.

Happy Hump Day, Avi.

Wednesday is a huge day.

Arguably the biggest day and the best day.

We've got a lot to get done today, and I'll tell you why.

Starting off with your telephone number, you know you can hit me up right now.

1-8-0-8-06-6-86.

No, waiting.

If you get yourself a good take, if you can make it even better,

I might even break the format open. I've done it before. I'm willing to do it again for the right phone

call. So go ahead, start dialing. You know the process. You call up. Chalk answers the phone.

He says, who are you? Where do you live? What do you want to talk about? If you have a good answer for him,

he will put you on hold. We will get you on the air. If your response to him is, hey, I'm just

going to wing it. Or, hey, chalk, Rome knows who I am. Put me through. It's not going to work.

It's a very simple question. What do you want to talk about? What is your take?

If you can get through the gatekeeper, and believe me, he's pulling for you.

He's not trying to keep you out.

He's trying to let you in, but you have to give him a reason to let you in.

So hit us up.

If you're more comfortable doing it via social media, that's good, too.

Hit me up at Jim Rome on X. Also, you can still email me at
