This is on this man's turf. This man has run L.A a conqueror, for a long time. And I admire him for a number of reasons. And I move that he would make the time in this setting for a couple of reasons. One, he braved two hours worth of traffic at the end of a bad and difficult work week. But more importantly, I've never seen you do much of this.

I read the research notes and I'm like, Jim Rome has been in front of me for 30 years and nobody

knows shit about the actual real Jim Rome. Like they know the radio character, which is probably

So on the way up, there was this notion of, man, that's a bad guy, that's a bad guy, he's that, he's this, he's the other.

And I can remember when I first got into it, and keep in mind, this was way back before
