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

The right smack dab in the middle of summer and it's not exactly the best time for sports and I'm off for two

weeks so what do I start with do I start with NFL free agency do I start with

little baseball or do I start with little baseball? Or do I start with the trip? My two-week run to Wisco.

What do I do? If you were me, what would you do? In fact, I'll put it out to you.

What do you want to hear me start with?

What do you want my take on?

I don't care, you're going to get what you get anyway.

Why don't we start with a quick rundown on the Wisconsin run with the highlights and the low lights?

Just a quick rundown off the top.

In the meantime, you know where to find me you've got my phone number use it.

Let me start with one quick highlight and one quick lowlight off the very top and both of these things happen every single time. I don't want to be

redundant but both these things happen every single time. The highlight is this, I got to get away from you.

That's a highlight.

You got to get away from me.

We needed it.

We both needed it. We both needed it. And then we both appreciate each other more when I return. Am I right? So that's a good thing.

Now for the lowlight, and this happens every single time I hit the North Woods of Wisconsin.

I've been doing this now for the last few years.

Niavely, somehow, I think that it won't be the case.

Alvin?

I'm going to need the fat alarm for this one.
