All of my 2 followers that read this, if you even do, will be happy to know that today I reached a MILESTONE.. Sure, it's pretty insignificant in others lives, but in mine.... WOW!!
12 years ago I stumbled across a Nationally Syndicated Sports talk show called The Jim Rome Show... Locally he is on 1260 Wnde A.M. He instantly grew on me because this guy KNOWS.HIS.STUFF about everything sports related.. He has a very unique show, if you've heard it then you know his style, if you haven't, then you need to give him a couple of weeks so you can get used to his "style" which is quite different from most other wannabe sports radio hosts.
Anyway, Jim doesn't like taking phone calls because most of the callers just suck, so the only really good way to get through to him is email.... Until Twitter came along.. :) He hated twitter at first, then it grew on him and now he periodically reads tweets @him on the show... We are only talking 2-3 tweets each show IF THAT..
After 12 years of trying to get through to Jim and MANY MANY of my friends who have failed he read one of my tweets on air today!!!!!! Over 2 million of his listeners heard this tweet.... @jimrome Dear Wade, hit it again... Sincerely, the ejection seat on Jer Jer's private plane....MattinIndy... Now, Let me explain what this tweet meant for the non listener... Jim is a HUGE fan of Die Hard with Bruce Willis... He loves the scene where Hans Gruber tells his lacky terrorist buddys to send another rocket hurtling towards that tank in the plaza.. Wade stood for Wade Phillips as in the EX Cowboys coach who was just fired and Jer Jer was Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboy organization... So, essentially, I was using the 'Jim Rome' language that is used on his show as a showing by me that Wade Phillips was gonna get fired today.. (which he did a few hours ago)
So, in my mind, I reached stardom today.. I know people will read this, shake their heads and think "wow what a loser!!!" but in the end over a MILLION people heard my tweet to Jim Rome's world wide nationally syndicated talk show today, and it completely made my day... Now, I will go back out and try to find a life.. ;)
Here is the proof Im not lying... He archives all of his read tweets on the air and puts them on his website... MattyG is right izup there boyeeee.. ;)
