Welcome to the Jungle. A very good Tuesday to you. My name is Jim Rome. Nice to have you here. We are broadcasting live from Southern California. Thank you very much for finding us. Great to be a part of it. I'm a part of it. You're a part of it. The XR4TI is part of it. Our guests are a part of it. We're all in it. Great to be here. All right. With professional great products for every

industry, Granger has you covered. Call or click granger.com or just stop on by. Lots of show for you today.

Let me lay it out. So maybe you're now just finding us. I know I reset that pretty consistently,

but it's true. We're adding stations. We're finding new listeners, new viewers. Maybe you're picking it up. I see it every single day. Hey, Rome, just found the program. Like what I'm hearing. And so I'm trying to get you to get involved. Now, the show is a little bit different. There is a standard to the program. You can try to get through. You can try to call. You can try to email. You can

hit me up on X. It does not guarantee you'll get on the air. But I want to encourage you to try.

Because if you can make it better, we'd love to have you be a part of it. We want to have engagement.

Who does want engagement? So here are the ways to engage. You can go old school and call the program. 1-8-00-636-86-8-6. toll-free. We'll pay for it. You can hit me up on the X at Jim Rome. You can watch the show on the X. It's a samulcast. You can email me at Rome or me at have a take.com. All right. All the different ways in. Coming up at 1240

Pacific time, I've got the head coach at St. Mary's, Randy Bennett.

Bennett. Talk to him every single year at this time. Because every single year at this time,

he has that program positioned. That's me as one of the most underrated coaches in the nation.

Randy Bennett, St. Mary's head basketball coach joining us at 1240. In fact, we'll go back

to back. Top of our number two, Tyron Montgomery. He's an NFL draft prospect with a great,

great backstory. So generally leading into the NFL draft, we try to get you as many

prospective high-end draft picks. And then we try to get you as many perspective, high-end draft

picks, and then we try to find you the ones that have the really interesting backstories

that you should know about. So that would be one of those. Also, if you're watching on the stream,

the XCR just flashed it right across. We do have a YouTube channel. We are building our YouTube channel every single day. We're adding to it. I would love for you to hand on over there if you like what you see. Can you please hit sub? Subscribe to the YouTube channel. That would help us out a lot. All right, with all that in mind. Where to start today? I've got a number of topics that I feel pretty equally strongly about.

Could have gone a number of ways, but this one is a little bit different. So difference's good.

Why don't we start right there? A pretty incredible thing was recently announced by the Atlanta

Hawks that has become the subject of outrage and debate and some

polarization. Incredibly, the Hawks have announced a Magic City Monday, special promotional night

during the upcoming March 16th, Hawks Magic Game.
