Welcome to the jungle. What's going on? My name is Jim Rome. A very good Wednesday to you. And if it's Wednesday, it's hump day. It's got to be a hump day, Alvey.

Hump day, Alvey. Get your ass up out of bed, Alvey. In fact, all of you do it. You too, Alex. What are you doing?

Welcome to the program. If you're watching on the stream, that is the XR 4TI. They're on the other side of the glass. Down the hallway, we have the XCR. There's Lorne. There's Nick. Lauren, you're a legend. Y'all, if you all had any idea what a legend, Lauren is, there are enough hours in the day for me to describe that.

Just know it, Lauren, you are. Appreciate you. With professional-grade products for every industry,

Granger has you covered, call it clickgranger.com or just stop by. All right, good show for you today.

Always on a Wednesday. Wednesday is always a very busy day. I like to say it's our five-hour

day because we have four hours of content

here and then we have an hour, give or take, 15 minutes with our general podcast. Podcast today is a

very good one. I'll say about that momentarily. In the meantime, we are now within 10 days of the

smack off, which means a couple of things. One, you're running out of time. Two, we've got a smack off

profile coming up later on today. None other than V in the fee. V gets the smack off profile treatment.

That's coming up later on. For the rest of you, it's not too late to get in.

And I don't mean in like on the air today. I mean in, like in the competition, in the smack

off itself. It's October 31st. You can play your way in. Get a golden ticket. Rip a golden

ticket. Just like the movie back in the day, where little Charlie ripped open a chocolate

bar and there it was the golden ticket for the chocolate factory. Except this is better. This is the

smack off. Five grand. Really nice timepiece. glory, heritage play. Get up in here. 1-8-00-636-86. You can also find me on the X.

You can watch this on the X. You can post on the X at Jim Rome. Email me at Rome, R-O-MBA at

have-and-take.com. NBA tipped off last night. So we'll talk to

my NBA with Kevin O'Connor from Yahoo Sports. Awesome, my guy. Haven't talked to him in a few

days. Well, maybe a few weeks. Alex Golish, USF, head coach will join me once again. That's coming up in hour number three.

ATP, hour number three, after hour with Adam Rank.
