What's Your Beef?

Jim Rome (0:00)

He's not wrong.

If you're watching on the stream, you already know what I'm doing. If you're listening on the radio, you probably know what I'm doing. I'm locking on the ionic plastic tower of beef because it is time for our beef segment. Program brought to you by FanDuel. The Jim Rome Show brought to you by FanDuel. My thanks to our pals there, and my thanks to our pals at Old Trapper Clones. Not all beef jerky is the same. Old Trapper's original old-fashioned teriyaki, hot and spicy and peppered, all come in four-ounce bags or one gigantic plastic tower.

That's the one I get.

So you can sample all the different flavors and find the best one for you. Ask for Old Trapper by name because no other jerky compares Old Trapper What Is Your Beef. If for some reason you are new to this segment, what we do, and I'm doing my best to go the other way. I'm going against the grain. In a world that's becoming more and more negative, I want to be positive and be upbeat, except once a week. You can beef. You can complain. It's okay to complain. Beef about anything you want. Just keep it tight. Get in, get out, keep the thing moving. I want to get to as many beefs as I possibly can, both on the phones and also via social or chat. It's part of my tradition. If this guy shows up in time, he gets to go first. We go to the phones. Charleston, Miles, my brother, what is your beef, Miles?

SPEAKER_2 (1:26)

Good afternoon, Rome. Listen, I have all these callous, childless losers on social media and in the media that had a problem with Mason Miller taking a day off to watch his wife and be with his wife while they gave birth to a child. A lot of those people are people without children, Jim. And guess what? Those people cannot offer a learned opinion regarding children. Unwarrantyled Yankee fans whose teams won as many championships as the Marlins in the last 25 years. Out, Jim.

Jim Rome (1:57)

Damn, nice job. That's why I start with him. He always sets the tone. It's always smart. 1-800-636-8686.

Let's go to Omaha, Nebraska, Jeff. Good to have you, Jeff. What is your beef?

SPEAKER_3 (2:11)

Yeah, good show, dude.

SPEAKER_4 (2:12)

Hey, two beefs today.

One being, I'm covered up in all these fair weather fans in my state, and I'm absolutely sick of it. These are the same Dragoonies who were at 72nd and Dodd's back in 1997 Now it's like, one sign of adversity during a big red football game.

SPEAKER_3 (2:27)

Oh, yeah. Well, I'm a volleyball fan.

SPEAKER_5 (2:30)

Listen up, Darryl.

SPEAKER_4 (2:31)

You didn't even know we had a volleyball team, so we started ripping natties. Second beef, did I hear the big stupid say, Leonard?

SPEAKER_6 (2:39)

Leonard, dude?

SPEAKER_4 (2:40)

Are you serious?

SPEAKER_3 (2:41)

Have fun watching the JET and listen to Alan Parsons' project.

SPEAKER_4 (2:46)

Warren Miser and Bill O'Rourke will be the best to ever do it. Out.

Jim Rome (2:49)

Nice job, Jeff. Did you get any of that?

SPEAKER_7 (2:52)

The big stupid?

Jim Rome (2:54)

You mean the big head? The big head is the big stupid. Did I hear him call him Leonard? Not only did you hear the big stupid call him Leonard, he does it every single week. And I don't even think he means it disrespectfully. Like, he may have questions about Jim Leonard's defense, but I don't think he's doing it to diss him.

He's just a big stupid. He looks at the way Leonard is spelled and calls him Leonhard. He can't get it through his big stupid head that it's Leonard. Believe me, I correct him every single week.

Let's go to Michigan, Jack. In Michigan, good to have you. Jack, what is your beef?

SPEAKER_2 (3:38)

My beef is with people not emptying the recycle container when it's full. So then I have to take it out when it's more than full and watch the wind take all the recyclables through the neighborhood and chase them down when I could be sitting inside relaxing and having an old trapper.

Jim Rome (3:56)

I got you, man. I see you working. I see you working.

1-800-636-8686. I don't know why people can't just handle trash. Recyclable, non-recyclable, there are certain bins for recyclables, there are certain bins for non-recyclables. Man, just put you trash in the can. How hard is it? Really, how hard is it?

My man, my man could be at home enjoying his old trapper.

SPEAKER_7 (4:24)

Let's go to Dayton.
