All right, having a nice day. Coming up in hour and over three, here's what I'm looking at.

DeAngelo Pond, Santa Feud Trout Prospect. He'll be joining me in 20 minutes. I'm Jim Rome. I'm live. I'm in Southern California with professional-grade products for every industry. Granger as you covered, car click cranger.com, and just stop on by. See, funny thing is, and again, if you're just now finding me or you've forgotten about me or you never knew me. I'm weird like this. I'm like,

I'm one of the only guys who still hosts a long-form talk show by himself. And even stranger, I can just keep going. I can go and go and go and go and go. I've done this a long time. But I'd rather not do that. Like, I'd rather have you come up in here

and engage. But the thing is, I don't not do my prep and then wait for you to carry the show.

If you make the show better, you can come on. I learned long ago, if I entrusted my fate and my

dynasty or destiny, no offense, clones, listeners, if I entrusted my fate and my dynasty or destiny. No offense, clones, listeners. If I entrust in my fate and my destiny

to your input, I would not be in this business very long. So I pick my spots. If I think you can make

it better, I will move you right to the front of the line. If I think you can make it better,

I'll read your submission. But you have to make it better.

It's not your inalienable right. There are a million other shows that need that content.

They will take your content. They will get you right on the air. But this show is a little bit

different. It's a heritage show. I've done this for decades. It got me into the Radio Hall of Fame.

So if you want to be a part of it,

I'd love for you to be a part of it. But you've got to play your way in. You have to earn it. You have to earn it. It's not given. You have to earn it. All right. So with that mind, De Antio Pons will be joining me at 20 past. Right now I want to talk some college basketball

And this is one of the hot topics

One of the hot topics Ponds will be joining me at 20 past. Right now, I want to talk some college basketball.

And this is one of the hot topics.

One of the hot topics.

I don't know if I've ever said this before,

and if I have, it's been a long, long time.

But you know what I have to do?

I can tell you exactly when I used to say it.
