Jim Rome on Paula Abdul

[Stifler's Mom]

I guess Paula Abdul (American Idol) caused a scene on a Southwest flight recently. Anyway, Jim Rome went off on her today on his show, and had a few funny comments about Southwest.

This one is off the board but way too important and way too good not to address.

Memo to glorified Laker Girl and televised karaoke judge Paula Abdul; check yourself. Stand down! She reportedly jumped a Southwest Airlines flight from San Jose to Burbank and tried to play the, “Do you know who I am”, card.

She apparently tried to jump the line, threw out the, “I’m famous”, “I need to go in first class”, blast and then tried to say she was saving the seat next to her…. so she could have more room.

Every take one of those flights? They jam you in like sardines; it’s the ultimate cattle call. But she was going to keep an extra seat for herself? For what? Her ego! Considering you have completely lost touch with reality and your place in this universe, let me help you with something:

1) You’re not famous. If you were, you wouldn’t be flying the Greyhound of the skies.

2) There is no first class on that bus, Diva. Board in chunks of 30, and be ready to get into a fist fight if you want a window seat, like the rest of us.

3) You are D-Lister at best.

4) If there really was any question about where you rank in your world, there isn’t after a fellow passenger hit you with a, “You’re not Sanjaya, you have to board like everyone else.” I have no idea who Sanjaya is, but I know a good heckle when I hear one. And you just got crushed, Paula. Get in line. Get a real job. And save you’re I’m famous card for when you get jammed with one of the backwards seats. You’re a karaoke judge. Start acting like one.

I heard that today and laughed my butt off (and I work at SWA). It was classic Rome.

i love jim rome. one of only people in the media that tells it like it is. it's too bad he mostly covers only sports and entertainment on his show.

Here's some classic Rome from the old days- its almost as good as when he had a pilot on his show in order to explain how pilots can listen to am radio through the ADF:

my favorite was his description of the 01 Mariners. ya'll know the team that set the record for the most wins EVER. anyway...he called them the most boring team ever...and asked when or if John "C3P"Olerud would ever get the bat off his shoulder. then he went on a rant against Brett Boone. "the second baseman had his 'tips' done...that's no good..."

speaking of good slams. check out Youtube for Joe Rogan Vs. Carlos Mencia. Romey would be proud...

long live rome...

I am out.

Rumor around LAS when I used to work the ramp there was she talked an airport employee with a SIDA badge into letting her past security.

That person doesn't work there anymore.

Now that brings back memories. I was in college and had just got back from baseball practice when I tuned in Talk2 on ESPN2. I remember thinking who is this guy? He really tells it like it is. And that was back in '94. I've been a loyal clone ever since.

'Oh I bet I will...Chris'

The smack off (insert funny comments here) should be a national holiday so we can all tune in.

Just wait till he calls somebody a nappy headed hoe. He'll be off the air then BWAHAHAAHAAH :smash:

 

[Frap]

What are the odds that Terrence from Sierra Madre will finally win the smack-off this year?

I say nil as long as Sean the cablanasian (I know I butchered the spelling there) keeps winning every year.

Well he used to refer to former tennis pro Arantxa Sanchez Vicario as...

"That little hoe from the barrio, Arantxa Sanchez Vicario"

Nope dude you nailed it. Terrence is one of my favorite callers but back in the 98 smack off when one of the DiTolla brothers referred to Tom Kite as having glasses so thick he could see the future; that was f'n funny.

Vick from NoCal all the way.

Anyone else subscribe to the podcast on JimRome.com? Pretty good deal for like $4 a month so you can listen to it on those long legs. My FOs always look over at me like I'm crazy when I'm laughing like he!l for no apparent reason though!

"Ever take one of those flights? They jam you in like sardines; it’s the ultimate cattle call."

What does it mean if there's a full Southwest flight?

There's an empty trailer park somewhere. OUT!
