I am Jim Rome. It is the Jim Rome show, and it is on Westwood One, and it's on Sirius XM, and it's on the X platform, and it's on our Rome television channel. Nice to have you here. What's going on? Welcome to the program. All right. Let me tell you about it. Good, good day. It's a Thursday, so here's what we got going. First up, your telephone number toll free, 1-800-0-636-86.

Use it or lose it.

Use it because the smack-off is a week from tomorrow.

Smack-off number 30.

It's not too late to get through.

Phone lines are wide open right now.

1-800-636-86.

Just looking through the glass, checking out Tom.

Tom is building his workstation.

I like that.

Nice.

Excellente.

If you want to hit me up on X, do that.

You can watch us on X, post on X. Email me at Rome, ROME at Have a Take.com with professional grade products for every industry. Granger has you covered. Call or click Granger.com or stop on by. So on this Thursday, hey, Alex, think about this. It's a beef day. Put it up. Beef day. Hour number three.

Whatever you want to beef about, hit me at hour number three. Call with a beef, X me with a beef,

email with a beef. Just get up in here. What's your beef? I'm backtracking. Two o'clock.

Coming up at 1240, 40 minutes from right now,

the interim head football coach at UAB, Alex Mortensen. Great story. He stepped up and replaced

Trent Dilfer. The school part of it, parted whiz with Trent Dilfer. Trent Dilfer gave Alex

his shot. And then in his very first shot, they have set number 22, Memphis. So great story there. Alex Mortensen, 1240. Coming up in 120, Jonathan Vilma, former NFLer, former Kane, Fox NFL analyst. And then Whittier Beef at the top of our number three.

All right.
