Electronic mail, often abbreviated to e-mail, email, or originally eMail, is a Store-and-forward method of writing sending receiving It is broadcast live from 9 a. m. to noon Pacific time (noon to 3 p. m.

Sports radio (or sports talk radio) is a Radio format devoted entirely to Discussion and Broadcasting of sporting events. ' Rome's television program primarily features interviews with athletes and other people associated with sports, but his main influence both started and remains with sports talk radio.
Rome rarely announces for certain what guests he will have each day, preferring not to "jinx" them and giving the impression he prefers to 'hunt down' interviews rather than pre-schedule guests like with most talk-radio shows. 'The Jungle' highlights the most recent players and issues, as well as Rome's 'take' on the latest sporting news. His abrasive manner of mocking and demeaning certain people on air has been criticized by some but applauded by fans as his unique "talking smack" air style. Frequently, he will "run calls" (hang up on callers, sometimes using his infamous "manual buzzer") if they "flame," stammer, fail to make a point quickly, or touch upon a subject that Rome has black-listed. Stammer may refer to Stuttering or People Notker of St Gall "Notker the Stammerer" (840-912 Louis the Stammerer "Talking smack," a kind of quick-witted insult and taunting banter in which callers take to task other callers or people in the sports world, is favored by Rome. Wit is a form of intellectual Humour. A wit (person is someone skilled in making witty remarks This results in most callers quickly summarizing their "take" and "not sucking" on air, and can sometimes leave new callers and listeners unfamiliar with the show's slang, or "gloss". As Rome often advises: "Give the show two weeks, nobody likes it the first time they hear it. I didn't like it at first. Even my wife Janet didn't like it at first. And if you give the show two weeks and still don't like it. . . well, give it another two weeks. "
He frequently references many callers and emailers in his "body of work" and openly admits that they are a huge part of the show. Many fans know that callers like Terrence in Sierra Madre, Vic in NoCal, Jeff in "Richmond", Silk Brah, Trapper in Dana Point, and John in C-Town not only frequent the shows airwaves via phone calls, but regular emails are a backbone to the foundation of his 3-hour routine. The most famous emailers like Dave in St. Louis "Non-Hunter", Chad in Portland, Francis in Glendale, BP in H-Town, Timm Bauer in Lincoln, Blaise in KC, Dave no longer in Albany, Clay in Buffalo and Mike T in C-Town have their emails read repeatedly, even by guest host substitutes such as, Jim Lampley and Andrew Siciliano.

He can be seen in FSN Final Score, where he is a co-anchor and heard (along with Krystal They have said "The hottest topic in The Jungle is The Jungle".
Rome's brashness in advocating for the show in markets that do not broadcast the full three hours, or that tape-delay the show, is characteristic of the host's well-known self-confidence. He regularly encourages listeners to contact their local affiliate program directors (referred to on the show as "monkeys") in order to secure the show live and in its entirety. Rome has jokingly asserted that he never has done a bad interview, only had to put up with bad interviewees.

Rome refers to his loyal fan base as "the Clones. " The nickname stems from the idea that their devotion to Rome, tendency to support Rome's "takes," and their imitative use of "smack" and jargon from Rome's shows makes them different from regular sports-radio listeners but all the same as each other. The uniqueness of this fan base is heard most distinctly when a "Clone" calls another sports-talk show and gives a "take. "
A frequent Rome device is to read emails from the "Clones" on the air (usually purportedly written by some famous individual), and then express faux-dismay to the Clones for sending the emails. Some of the most recurring email subjects of questionable taste include emails purportedly from O.J. Simpson, Nicole Simpson, and/or Ron Goldman, which allude to the double homicide that O.
