Not a daily radio show like the ones mentioned but the troll call during a Braves rain delay a few years ago was funny as hell.

LeBatard did that bit about who people in sports look like. Like Arthur Blank looks like the villain from a 1920s silent movie who ties the woman to the railroad tracks,

Look-a-like threads on the rant prior to games are the fricking best when done properly.

The Jim Rome show is awful and so cringe to listen to now. It's a bunch of wannabe callers trying to sound funny while Jim hits sounders after every 10 words.

Cap. Jim Rome running a caller and going on for 10 minutes about how he wasn’t gonna let said caller hijack his show was elite radio.

Beef segment sponsored by Old Trapper is awesome. Rome show is still fresh and entertaining after over 30 years running.

ETA - the show running on YouTube with the live chat is wild. That place is funny as hell to follow. It's like a whole other element to the show.

You made me remember. Hopefully you had the pleasure of listening to the old Finebaum show back in the day when Mildred would call.

I think it was called March Sadness and he would do it every year with a bracket of 64 looks-like jokes. “#7 seed Sam Darnold looks like a LEGO policeman vs #10 seed Pete Carroll looks like a rubber mask that a bank robber would wear.

A local Houston radio show had Coach Slocum on a mobile. Dude would make fun of former Aggie coach RC Slocum and the Aggies overall.



One of the call embedded is long but the funny part is at the 2:30 mark when he’s talking about Texas Tech being Dirt monkeys and how good Baylor is.

Rome was usually spot on with his "____ guy" segments

Softball Guy was my favorite
NCAA Bracket Guy
Corvette Guy
Likes to Fight Guy
Golf Guy
And "News Reporter on Tax Day" was solid also.
