Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

Tommy, I'm thinking about it. Would I break open the format? You know, our opens are always good.

Now that's really not right. I should know on this. Our opens are great.

I've always said that for the right thing or the right person I'd bust the format wide open. Because what I have to say at the start of very program I've given

considerable thought to however on top of that what I have to say on any given day to open to any given show frankly no offense is

better than what you have to say but what I always say is for the right phone call

I am willing to bust that format wide open.

The question is I'm looking at it.

It's the first time and a long time I've thought to myself, you know what?

That phone call might be better than what I have to say. It'll be different than

what I have to say. Everything's about time. Everything's about time and situation.

James Kelly, I'm laughing because he's popping in my DMs.

He's already going, hell yeah, hell yeah, he knows what I'm going with it.

He knows what's up. Of course, James Kelly loves this guy.

Telephone number 1-800-636-8-6-86. I don't think there's any doubt. My open today is fire. It is. But so is this guy. And unlike me, this guy has his own month.

And that month is coming to an end.

I thought that for sure we would stretch his month

into the next month, but the Yankees have been that bad and the Dodgers have been that good

Screw it run the clock running at a time. Let's go to the phones. I bust open the format. I'm going to break the format.

Check the calendar. What day is it? It's Mat-Tober 29th.

Where is the clone that I was shut down what I have to say in order to get to what he or she has to say?

We go there right now.
