Stewart is a graduate of Cal State Fullerton.
Stewart is the subject of a song by 3-Day Weekend entitled "Mr Automatic (Friggin' Jay Stewart).

1995 Smackoff

Stewart's most infamous call was in the inaugural Smackoff when he was known as Jason in Fullerton. During the call, he frequently called the other callers "weaklings" and counted his subjects with "First of all, Second of all, Third of all." This was also the call that contained the infamous warning against crossing the "thin line of blasphemy." At the time, Jim didn't know what that meant and still doesn't know. Jason was inevitably run and that call is considered one of the worst Smackoff calls of all time.

XR4TI Crew

In response to a soundbite featuring Allen Iverson's mother and her entourage (or "crew") defending her son after his latest of many run-ins with the law, Jim decided that he also need a "crew." Hence, the XR4TI Crew (Jim Rome's "crew" with J-Stew and Travis Rogers) was created. During a show, while the crew was in the studio with him, they would yell out what Jim just said before them. When Jim was going through the guests for next day's show, Jason yelled out the famous "Don't forget Mark Mota!", which referred to then Oakland Athletics pitcher, Mark Mulder. Another moment was when Jim was listing his sponsors of the show. When he brought up Extra gum, Travis yelled out "Chew It!," which brought the show to a halt for a few seconds because Rome was laughing too much.

Show Contributor

Jason gained fame when he became the show contributor. Jason became a subject of the show itself, mostly about how he drove a DX, or how many moles he had on his face. A caller, who said that he went to college with Jason, said that he caught him watching porn with "9 other dudes in his dorm room." That subject became a running joke on the show. J-Stew's greatest moment in the show came when the amateur band 3 Day Weekend sent the show a tape called "Mr. Automatic." The song became a huge hit on the show and is still played on the show.
