The Rome Show's weird, its all inside jokes. I loved him 10 years ago, you have to listen pretty much every day to get it. I stopped listening for a few years, and whenever I'd just catch a random episode I'd think it was stupid, and wonder why I even used to like it. Then I started listening daily again and it got hilarious again, its weird that way. I'll admit he has lost a step, but that's pretty normal for shows with a shelf life as long as his.
I will say though that even when I was a big Rome fan, I always haaated the Clones. Maybe if it was just a spur of the moment battle of wits, it would be good. But you can tell most were up until 2am preparing it. And they all just try to copy Rome's style, its so corny. I actually get embarassed for them sometimes and have to flip the channel. I'd always skip Smackoff day.
Also nothing wrong with something other than hockey talk on a sports station, especially in the off-season. Team 1260 in Edmonton is much worse than Fan 960 for this. Even in July/August during Eskies season, its just Oilers Oilers Oilers. It sucks.
