Summary

There's only one Jim Rome... and he's never cared if you love him or hate him because he knows if you have a take and don't suck, he “can still go hard.” Things are bound to get wild when The Jungle meets South Beach Sessions. Dan and Jim get together in Los Angeles to reflect on Jim's career as a pioneering game changer in a way he hasn't talked publicly about before. Jim gets personal, talking about what it was like growing up as a try-hard sports nerd and getting his start in radio, then realizing he wouldn’t ever want to do anything else. He also opens up about keeping true to his blunt and honest voice from the very beginning, the cost and regrets of being in the brutal business for decades (and the people he's pissed off along the way), and why his longtime audience is as loyal as they come. Watch Jim Rome's "The Jungle" LIVE daily on X from 9AM to 1PM PT / 12PM - 4PM ET and look for his FAST channel across streaming platforms including Amazon FreeVee, Plex, and Samsung TV Plus.

0:49.3	I'm excited about this one because this isn't in South Beach.
0:52.3	This is on this man's turf. This man has run LA, a conqueror for a long time.
0:59.0	And I admire him for a number of reasons, and I moved that he would make the time in this
1:04.0	setting for a couple of reasons.
1:05.0	One, he braved two hours worth of traffic at the end of a bad and difficult work week. But more importantly,
1:12.8	I've never seen you do much of this. I read the research notes and I'm like,
1:17.9	Jim Rome has been in front of me for 30 years and nobody knows shit about the actual real Jim
1:23.3	Rome. Like they know the radio character, which is probably your real character turned up
1:29.6	a few notches, but I'm not sure anyone knows you. So thank you because, you know, I like to
1:34.7	interview and I'm imagining that, you know, I'm a pretty good interviewer, so you're allowing
1:39.3	yourself to be seen. Yeah, no, I appreciate this. I think you're right. Now, I'm not an L.A. guy
