Jim Rome - Bert and Ernie Reset

[Coober7]

5 people polish off ernie's bischop

[shoseki]

Hey Bert?

Yes Ernie?

Whats AIDS?

[otengammai]

What's the name of the song that starts playing at about 5:40?

[BreezyBrae19]

@niclondon pure G O L D...lolz

[niclondon]

5:28 - 5:35 is the funniest thing ever read on sports radio.

[todpolle]

I think it just people's opinion about the 2 pairings. Berts seem like a mentor to Erine. I go either with P.Patty/Marcie or P.Patty/Charlie as they're both adorable

[desicasyndicat]

@todpolle What?

[upabittoolate]

@todpolle In fairness, Marcie is modeled after Billie Jean King. Billie Jean King is gay. She was also dear frineds with Charles M. Schulz.

I wouldn't call Bert a mentor. I'd think he's more like a more mature brother.

[todpolle]

@upabittoolate and thats why people think she's a lesbian.

[putzbasterd]

old rome was so much better than it is now

[sb45champs1]

Third best call in Jungle history (only behind Carl in Rosemead and Toby in Houston)

[elryno79]

War Ernie jamming his hand up Bert's backside.

[BradJamesRocks]

Perhaps Rome's best rant. That's saying something!

[northernflicker]

This guy is teh suck.

[dxsmackdown8]

greatest call in the history of the jungle- PERIOD

[labatted]

i remember the day he did this rant. it was freakin awesome!

[putzbasterd]

that was awesome

[rayraynod]

I love hearing this rant! War to Bert and Ernie being Gay!!

[WiredArizona]

why do they live together? why do they share a room?...I dont really know and i dont really care...their PUPPETS! lol classic

[cavspunk08]

This was CLASSSSSSSSIC.

[rayraynod]

One of the best ever by both Jim and the caller! Jim are you saying that Bert and Ernie are not gay?

[artofnoise07]

How was P.P. a lesbo? She was hopelessly in love with Chuck. Marcie on the other hand...total dyke.

[cavspunk08]

@artofnoise07 i think its because at that time she thought she liked guys buy marcie changed her mind..LOL

[wow13d]

When was this call?

[wow13d]

@wow13d August 13, 2001...I can tell based on the A's 11 game win streak and beating the Yankees...

[vervaet17t]

This is a hilarious bit. Absolutely freaking hilarious

[ElParcero7]

Patty + Marcie = LESBOS

[eldorado61guy]

Jim confuses me. He's clearly an arrogant jerk but occasionally he gets real. I mean real as in humble. He does abuse Horses so I guess he IS an asshole.

[mattc941]

@eldorado61guy Its all an act, you have to watch the show for a while to understand some of the humor, I'll admit that.

[eldorado61guy]

@mattc941 I've listened for years. I do understand the humou and he IS an arrogant person

[mattc941]

@eldorado61guy Not anymore, he used to be.. I'm thinking of when he was interviewing Jim Chris Everett. If you've listened to him for years then and you think hes an arrogant jerk, you wouldn't spend you time listening to his high-lights on youtube and telling his fans how much you hate him unless you are a complete loser. No offense, lol.

[rlkavan]

Great six minutes of radio.

[blazerdreamteam]

despite a pretty decent call, this guy is clearly reading this take.... listen dont call and start reading...

[CristoeSalvatore]

Petros and Money suck and so does Rizzo the Rat. War the Brother Sklars and Grant Napear as permanent guest hosts, with a juxtaposition of Brad in Corona, Greg in Vegas and Jason Whitlock

[CristoeSalvatore]

they're pieces of cloth with somebody's hand jammed up their backside. Hilarious!

[ricklickme]

4:43 Answer that! Answer that! -- LOL!

[dxsmackdown8]

LoL ha ha ha ha ha

[HasWBush]

5:29-5:37 the funniest rome reaction ever!!

[frozenge]

They're PUPPETS!!!!  lol

[tommyfam]

The mic check blast was AWESOME!!!!! He slid that shit in real good!!

[breakeranointingman]

rome sucks ! he's corporate, no longer funny & his sissy "manuel buzzer" and his running all the funny callers/emailers & texters who are funny because now rome is a politically correct, prudish wuss

[dxsmackdown8]

war vic in NoCal being permanently installed as guest host on the jungle when rome goes on vacation

[burn771]

screw all the guest host on thanksgiving week 2009. whole week should have been the best of. cip's partner read one of my emails and didnt even give me credit for it. uglybob

[vod434]

man uglybob, i totally agree. i spent the entire week listening to every jim rome youtube clip i could find because those guest hosts were unlistenable

[BurnMonkeyBurnDotCom]

Or better yet, Jay Mohr hosting all 3 days.

[burn771]

that would be nice. the slam man is def my fav sub pimp.

[Jeff051176]

In case anyone is wondering, this whole thing with callers bringing up Peppermint Pattie and Bert & Ernie, etc. is because of a Tony Kornheiser show in which the topic was "who is your favorite Peanuts character?" and a caller from D.C. called in one day to tell Rome, so naturally it set the callers & emailers off on it.

[steel6619]

THEY'RE FRICKIN' PUPPETS!!!

[elijahablaze]

war demetrius winning 2010 Smackoff & rome playing the larry brown soundbite every day on the jungle

[TSMontana]

I love how Romey has a fake indignation to these topics being brought up.

[Jeff051176]

Yeah notice he let the Peppermint Pattie blast go without the buzzer.

[dxsmackdown8]

war rosemary & demetrius being permanent fill- in hosts when rome goes on 1 of his 50 vacations per year. also, war rosemary being in the smackoff 2010

[DaProtege]

I take a little crank, to help me polish off Ernie's bishop lmao!!!

[burn771]

how long ago was this take? and when did carl in rosemead happen?

[tommyfam]

HE ENJOYED EVERY SECOND OF THIS!

[Jeff051176]

Yup! Notice how long he spent talking about it and then he read emails about it.

[spiritualaccent]

war demetrius from noCal  & karl from rosemead being installed as LIFETIME fill-in hosts whenever rome goes on vacation

[spiritualaccent]

funniest call EVER to the jungle

[Denverboi21983]

I was in tears listening to this....remember THEY'RE PUPPETS!!!!

[exproffballplyr]

CLASSIC ROME........

NUFF SAID!!!!!

[truepowerbombking]

hillarious

[kylesteinhauser]

WAR all the e-mails proceeding the take.

[burn771]

"war" is just a way of complimenting or bringing attention to something "relavent" to the program. for example, if you are a yankee fan you would say "war the yankees winning the world series this year" that dude wared bert and ernie being gay because he knew it would get a rant out of rome. rome acts mad but he loves it.

[BookingBossDC]

thx for explainin it to the non clones .

[flameofelijah]

hysterical ! DEMETRIUS should be the PERMANENT guest host for the jungle when rome is on vacation

[slamjackson64]

i just recently became a jim rome fan. what does "war" something?

[PietrolaRocciadiGesu]

Demetrius is so much like the other clones. Their stupidity is partially what makes the show so compelling and addictive. War Rome running the Clones like he does in this clip!

[tommyfam]

When he runs us, it's awesome! He's heard it all though, it's tough to catch him sliipin nowadays! LOL

[flameofelijah]

hillarious

[stevis78]

Hands jammed up their backside! haha You're killing me Rome!

[Denverboi21983]

their puppets damnit!!!!!

[ictpunk]

pepermit pattie is from WICHITA!

[donjabroni]

Nah, more like the island of Lesbos, LOL!

[bigscreen11]

I used to love his show. Not the same anymore though

[mattc941]

Dear Rome, I take a little crank to help me polish off Ernie's bishop. - Burt

[ndc18]

@mattc941 what is Ernie's bishops?

[mattc941]

@ndc18 lol..

[pujols37105]

Dear Bert,

BOHICA!

Signed,

Ernie's Bishop

[MrMagic23]

OMG!!! My sides hurt!!! LMFAO....

[Denverboi21983]

i cant breathe!! lmao

[hfieldhero]

"Somebody's hand jammed up their backside." I would have loved to have read the e-mails that came flying in after he made that comment lmao

[mattc941]

Anyone rememeber what year this was from?

[tommyfam]

The Raiders were still winning, so it had to be between 01-03!

[IrishHammer8171]

2002. That was the year the Oakland A's won 20 in a row and the Raiders started 4-0.

[Jeff051176]

Nope, this call was actually August 13, 2001. He was referring to the Raiduhs being undefeated in the pre-season.

[dxsmackdown8]

funniest rome segment ever !

[JoeNoonan27]

that was awesome

[senorpachangaz]

When is this from? It has to be from like 5 years ago at least. The difference in the show is clear as night and day, and Rome actually still had balls back then.

[tommyfam]

He's cautious cuz of Imus!

[dxsmackdown8]

you are right senorpachangaz, rome doesnt have balls anymore

[notyoursavior78]

I uploaded a couple great Rome sounders in the last couple months, but stuff like this is just the best thing I ever heard ever.

[circuscbx]

"I don't know why she's dirty"

roaring!!

[duhurhurrr]

cannot stop laughing

[notyoursavior78]

"I take a little crank to help me polish off Ernie's bishop.

Signed BERT?"

LOL!!!!! Rome is awesome. He's still got it today.Thursday's show was off the hook with the fire alarm.

[LCDragonrats]

That was the most amazing line Jim Rome has ever said on the air!!

[trewells]

I lose it everytime I hear that line!

[tommyfam]

Greatest email ever! roflmao!

[truepowerbombking]

funniest thing ever on the jungle

[jreffue]

OMFG. Tears rolling down my face. HYSTERICAL!

[flameofelijah]

[dxsmackdown8]

[jk59beads]

Dude, that was a horrible take.

[kenzboard]

'"I take a little crank to help me finish off Ernie's bishop" signed Bert.'

LMFAOROTFL

WAR Carl In Rosemead

[ZachAdams926]

"every once in a while something like this rears its ugly head"

Some clone needs to re-raise this on air sometime soon.

[deanw0rmer]

why did marcie call her sir rome? lmao

[corbaseball12]

I love when Jim Rome pulls the "He is a cartoon!" blast on Peppermint Patty. So funny.

[pujols37105]

War Demitrius from NoCal.

[arequipa1]

polish off a bishop?

[KeyWestCorona]

You can Google search it. Its not hard.

[hajocabt]

CLASSIC SH** LMFAO

[Rynot11]

my favorite take EVER

[allaboot]

Classic! This segment turned me into a clone.

[jdb316]

Great bit. But can anyone explain what the "mike check" and "chicken wings" referred to?

[robvig60]

Probably related to Stevie Carbone's 1998 Smackoff win.

[Jeff051176]

This segment left me in tears I was laughing so hard! One of Rome's funniest rants EVER in the jungle!

[elway0798]

I surprised he didn't catch the "war the brown eye" LMAO!!!

[BMWM3LOVER]

The "I take a little crank to help me finish off Ernie's bishop" signed Bert is one of the best blasts ever! I'm crying laughing!

[AUgrad00]

I agree to damn funny.

[ZachAdams926]

I completely agree. I hadn't read these comments and was just about to write basically the same exact thing until I read you say it.

I love the way Rome's voice goes up an octave or two as he's saying "Ernie's Bishop! BERT!"

WAR Carl In Rosemead making another call soon.

[pujols37105]

War people who war Carl in Rosemead

[glory789]

I cant stop laughing!

[Kellyannk308]

OMG that classic reset LOL!

[irocku88]

War Rome bringing back the automated buzzer

[davidp899]

AMEN! The manual one blows!

[arequipa1]

"THEY'RE PUPPETS!!!!!"

[themegahomo]

lmdaoaoahahahaha

[elway0798]

/Bert and Ernnie/Stevie from LMU/Peppermint Patty.............LMFAO!!!!!

[lcballer04]

War Peppermint Patty being a lesbian.

[SILVARCS]

One of the funniest fucking Rome clip's of all-time! I laughed so hard that I started to feel a little sick afterward's.

Fucking Brilliant!

[pujols37105]

Bucking Frilliant

[pujols37105]

War bums signing a lease on a dumpster.

[paternagnstuser]

wow

[ienvy67]

Do u have the Larry Brown crank call? If so can u put it up please?

[oapartyrock]

Rome sounds different in this clip....how old is this?

[KeyWestCorona]

Not sure...It was on a "best of" show a year or so ago.

[KeyWestCorona]

If I had to guess...1998 or 1999. Carbone was relevant and Whitey's buzzer was still around. Carbone chose chicken wings would suggest post Smackoff 1998

[HuskerFanatic]

I remember those days. I was weaned on listening to Rome on tape delay at night during my days in H-town. Back when Doc Mike was a regular (the first time), when the show was four hours, back when San Antonio was commonly referred to as Fat Antonio (and yes, they are FAT), back when Seanny was barely relevant. Way before Jethro in Bitchmond started calling, way before Rachel became a regular.

Back when Gino in San Antonio used to call.

I'm a Nebraska student now, but I remember.

[990305]

Yeah those were the great days of The Jungle....Rome got to Mainstream, and the show is good at times now but Romes show has just gotten stupider..at times.

Jt the Brick and Tony Bruno really Kick ass. Shame Bruno is not in the Mainstream anymore.

[jdb316]

It was definitely pre-2006, because he's used the manual buzzer since then.

[robvig60]

No mention of "faxes", only "email" responses. Rome retired the fax-number in 2001(?). Maybe this was '02?

WAR old-school legends (Gino, Doc Mike, Poindexter) who came back & called earlier this year... Rome seems to have such a disdain for callers lately.

[Omgitszztop]

Rome shouldn't have disdain for ANY of his callers.

The callers/listeners/e-mailers...­AKA "clones" pay Rome's salary.....if it wasn't for the clones.....Rome wouldn't have a show.

Instead of running the caller...and moving on.

He chose to chastise and scold the clones for several minutes....it's almost like he scolds just to hear himself scold.

I listen to Rome for his sports takes....but when he gets on that "high-school principal" kick...I end up getting pissed and changind the station.

[mrp0518]

no the good intelligent clones and ones who make the show worthwhile pay romes salary ripping the stupid crap like that is what makes the show. Why do you think people like the show?

[mrp0518]

well you would think this when the raiders were good so it had to be early 2000's.

[ZachAdams926]

I think it's around 2001/ 2002. The Raiders haven't been even close to good since they went to the Super Bowl, and this guy says that the Raiders are gonna win the Super Bowl. Not even an ignorant Raider fan could think that they would win anything since then.
