He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.440 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's the clearinghouse 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.200 of hot takes. Break free for something special.

I was looking at 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.800 a story online and they were bragging about it's gonna 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.280 set a record, like the most number of travelers in 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.880 X number of years, and they've been all figured out 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.600 and all that. But Danny G, I'm not going anywhere. 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:06.839 I don't know about you, but I'm gonna I'm gonna 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:08.520 hang out right here. I got nowhere to go. I 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.679 already went to the Carolinas. I got another trip in 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.759 a couple of months, so I'm not going anywhere. I'm 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:14.320 right here. 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.480 I am traveling, but it's for work. We're gonna be 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.640 doing the Covino and Rich Show live from Tempe, Arizona 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.760 at the Graduate Hotel, and that's later today. So this morning, 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.600 after I produce this fine podcast, I'm going to bust 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.959 and move to Burbank, fight with all the Memorial Day 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.119 weekend travelers, and get my butt on an airplane. 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.480 All right, I would how'd you schedule a holiday weekend? 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.920 This is a terrible I trap by, wasn't my idea? 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.560 Remember last weekend I told you it's the PAC twelve 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.200 Baseball championship game. 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.160 Yeah, you had mentioned something like, yeah, Pac twelve, this 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.480 is it. They're done in PAC twelve. They said, it's 0:01:51.520 --> 0:02:04.960 like you know, a funeral. Yeah, last rights for the 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.440 PAC twelve. It's all over. Is this the last championship 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.639 for the PAC twelve or last tournament because football is 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.960 a couple months away and then they that's when they 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.920 flip over. The teams go to the Big ten or 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.280 the Big twelve or wherever they're gonna go. 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:18.359 This is it? 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:19.520 All right? 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:20.000 Well? 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:26.440 Interesting, enjoy Tempy. I like Tempe and fan. We remember 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.400 last week we learned they're gonna get not in Tempee 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.760 but in Goodyear, Arizona, which I think is the spring 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.080 training home I want to see of like the Cincinnati Reds. 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.399 I maybe I forget who's in good Year, but they're 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.600 gonna get a BUCkies. But it's not there yet. So 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.560 and today appropriate enough is National Road Trip Day. But 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.160 you will not be road tripping. You'll be flying because 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.320 that's how you roll, Danny. You will not be driving Arizona. 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.120 Alther you could, man, the graduate gave me gas money 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.720 for the jet. My man, you could take my personal jet. 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.360 It's also National s Cargo Day today. Yeah, so you 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.840 can enjoy joy that not a fan. That's clams. Is 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:03.600 that clam? Oh? 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:04.280 That's snail? 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:08.120 Oh? Is it snail? Okay? Yeah yeah, yeah, I just 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:09.959 know I don't want it. I didn't know it was 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:11.760 some kind of shell thing and I don't really want it. 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:13.680 Yeah. Not only are the French a bunch of seas, 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.079 they also like to eat snails. 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:20.280 Racist. Well, we talked this week on the Overnight Show 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.400 about those cicada bugs and that video that went viral 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.000 this week of the two dudes at the baseball game 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.160 in and I think it was in Alabama, and they 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.400 were eating live cicadas. They were just grabbing them and 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.040 dipping them in beer. And well, one guy dipped it 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.320 in beer and he ate it. And then the other 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.400 guy was with his daughter, you know, the girl dad, 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.800 and he wanted to impress her, I guess, or he 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.560 just wanted to get some some clout, so he then 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.080 ate one. And then we had a bunch of people, 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.360 I say a bunch. We had a few who live 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:55.360 in like Nashville, who were saying that there was an 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:59.480 infestation of these cicada bugs. They're just taking over as 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.800 it's that time of the year and they're just massive 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.280 amounts of these bugs are everywhere. 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.200 So I wonder what they taste like dipped in ranch. 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.640 Well, anything in ranch is terrible, now, I. 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.880 Will tell you a wonderful that's wrong. 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.360 That's a bad take. But if you deep fry them 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.120 and maybe put dip them in chocolate. I know they 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:24.680 were selling them in dipped in chocolate as a culinary 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.760 delight a couple of years ago, remember that, But I 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.640 don't know that that's still a thing. Probably is, probably is, 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.600 But anything just covered in chocolate, if you can't taste it. 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.960 You probably can't taste it other than old crunch. It's 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.200 like eating chocolate almonds. I love chocolate almonds. I don't 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.640 know that I want chocolate cicadas though probably probably not 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:48.760 on my list. So we will have a battle update 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.680 to battle update on this podcast. Also we have some 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.960 foody fun and the word of the week if we 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.919 have time for that, but we'll start with the battle updates. 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.600 So you know, over my time at Fox Sports Radio, 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.680 I do not look for battles. I do not. My 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:11.360 mindset is not to engage. I am of the mindset 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:17.800 that I'm a peaceful person when it So did this start, Danny? 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:23.360 If someone challenges me, if someone takes a shot, a 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:28.280 little potshot, then I have to respond. And we had 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:32.600 a situation. We have a developing situation on the Overnight Show, 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.599 and I thought this would be the perfect form since 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.919 we have plenty of time here on the podcast. And 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:42.320 this is where the hardcore listeners, the p one of 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.359 P One's tune in because unlike the radios, are that 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.440 you have to put extra effort in to get this podcast. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.560 So I consider you if you're listening to this podcast, 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.159 you're like a higher level. Right, that's my own one 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:59.400 man focus group. And when you know, you know, right, 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.440 when you know, oh you know, and when you know 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:06.159 that someone is challenging you, you have to respond. Otherwise 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.440 what are you dan if you don't respond, If somebody 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.680 challenges you and you don't respond, what are you a coward? Exactly? 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.560 And who wants to be a coward? I don't want 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.640 to be a coward. So the other day I got 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:23.280 a message from one of my brigadier generals, Supermarket Steve. 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.919 Now this guy is centially a lightning rod, Supermarket STEVEF. 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.800 He doesn't call the show that often because he's working, 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:34.240 thus the nickname Supermarcus Steve. But he sends me this 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:39.599 manifesto and he points out that he's happy there's the 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.680 pitch clock. And I'm paraphrasing this. I don't have it verbatim, 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.839 so I know, Supermarket Steve, say, you got that. You 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.320 didn't get that completely wrong? That's not exactly what I said. Well, 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.400 kiss my ass, this is what I remember. That's what 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.159 I remember, all right. So anyway, he sends me a 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:57.080 message and he's like, Okay, I like the pitch clock 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.479 because you're no longer covered up on A five seven. 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.000 He lives in that, and you're no longer covered up 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.080 because we would get covered up a lot, like three 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.160 or four times a week. We'd get covered up because 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.120 the damn Dodger game would go five and a half hours, 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:11.800 and then they'd have an hour and a half postgame, 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:13.800 and by the time we got on it was midnight 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.200 or one in the morning or whatever. And so that 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.280 doesn't really happen anymore because the games are all done 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.920 in two and a half hours and they are able 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.080 to put us on when the show starts. So he 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:29.560 was happy about that. But then he tossed in that 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:36.480 my good name was sullied by a member of the 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.680 Dodger broadcast team on the airways of our affiliate in 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:44.320 la AM five seventy. So this got my attention. So 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.720 I had to unscramble this, and he mentioned the name 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:53.720 David vassy is the name that he mentioned, all right, 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.280 you mentioned David Vassa And he said there was something 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.280 on the Petros and Money Show, which is the big 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:05.400 afternoon drive show, involving my name. So this, this got 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.320 me worked up a little bit. To her lather got 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:08.280 me worked up a little bit. 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.560 This surprises me just slightly. If I can interject for 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.679 a second. I was up late with Big Baby CoA 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.880 a few nights back. It's when you were rambling about 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:23.280 Bronnie James. Oh yeah, yeah, we get your nights mixed up. 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.920 Yeah, but it's not gonna be the first night. The 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:27.640 last night I ranked it about Bronnie James. 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.800 So I had the Dodgers postgame show on, and Vasse 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:36.120 ended everything. And as he ended Dodgers Talk, as he 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.880 ended Dodgers Talk, he said, and now Big Ben Maller 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.599 on Fox Sports Radio, and they cut right into the 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.720 middle of your Bronnie James monologue. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.600 And I'm like, oh, that's cool. He promoted him. Wow, 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.079 all right, it was very nice of him. 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:51.840 Yeah, maybe he was trying to make up for what 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:53.199 it sounds like he did bad. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:57.439 Yeah. So again, get back to sum marg Steve. So 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.719 he sends me this message. He's one of my advisors. 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.440 You know, he's one of my guys, the p one 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.320 p ones, you know, not a spy. You know, they 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.640 just monitor. You know, in combat, you have to monitor, 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.720 you have to monitor radio waves. Right, the term radio 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:16.160 silence comes from from from combat. Right. You don't wanna 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.280 you don't wanna talk radio silence, don't say anything blah 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.000 blah blah blah, because they're always listening in So you 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.199 mentioned Besse had mentioned my name with uh, with Petro 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.760 some money and and and Besmirch kind of ripping my 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.360 time slot. Was the way Supermarket Steve framed it and 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.760 all that. So then to advance the story, and I 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:41.440 took a little shot at Fassa on my show. He 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.800 happened to be listening. Uh. I know for a fact 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.040 that he was listening when I took a shot, and 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.560 we were busting balls, and we were we were going 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.280 back and forth. We were talking about this. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.680 Has been going on for years, by the way. 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.560 We were like, what should we do with Fassa, you know. 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.440 And then Eddie always wants to release the hounds and 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.679 go to combat. Eddie's a warhawk and the Malain militia. 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.559 He wants to just let everyone out and just attack. 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.520 That's his first instinct. And I'm like, well, I've known 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.040 Vassaie a long time. We go way back. We've been 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.920 in the business a long time, and I mean, why 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.000 would he I guess he's changed, you know. Now he's 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.720 hanging out with Otani and the Dodgers. They're the rock 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.199 stars of LA, right, They're the glamour team in baseball. 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.000 And he's flying on the same planes and the same 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.680 buses he's taking and all that stuff. So maybe this 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.320 is he's gotten a big head. Now, maybe that's it. 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.960 But we were just kind of busting balls casually and 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.000 I had a couple of good lines. My favorite line 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.280 that night was if we want to mess with with Vassay, 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.880 we just I'll just get like a Bernie Brewer costume 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.960 in a slide and that'll that'll really, you know, holy crap, 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.559 that'll mess with him. He famous if you don't know 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:52.959 the backstory Vessay as the Dodger talk guy, he broke 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.600 his arm sliding down the Brewers slide there in Milwaukee 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.920 a couple of years ago on a viral video. So 0:10:59.040 --> 0:10:59.880 I thought that was a good line. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:00.400 Like that. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.719 Well, then the next day I got called in out 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:08.280 of the bullpen to work as one of Rogan's heroes 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.320 on Fred Rogan's show, The Midday Show at AM five 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.040 seventy in LA which I don't do that often because 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.160 it totally fs up my week. Not that I don't 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.320 like it, but it totally fs up my week. That 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.960 is a time I'm normally not awake when he's on 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.360 at least most of the show. But I was like, 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.920 all right, I'll do it once. Rare in appropriate, rare 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.240 in appropriate to it. So I did it. You want 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.480 to take a guest who was booked as a guest 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:36.520 on the show? 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:38.680 Oh it was your buddy David. 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:43.440 Yeah. Yeah, So needless to point out, if you didn't 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.439 hear it, you probably didn't. We were at Loggerheads. We 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.520 got into it. We had a dust up. Now he's 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.760 taking shots at me, and he said, I called you 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.680 a freeloader and all that stuff. Then I pointed out, well, 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.840 I can't be a freeloader anymore. The Dodgers won't let 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:02.360 me out there because Botani and the Japanese media and 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.040 all that. So I brought that up. But we were 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.360 going back and forth. He was trying to throw punches. 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:10.400 Then he starts taking shots and this really upset my guy. 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.640 Alf the alien o Pinter. Alf was beside himself, an 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.480 experienced veteran in many battles. All right, this guy's got 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.040 a lot of stars. Danny in the Mala Militia, Alf 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.920 Thealen Piner spats with shots and a bunch of other stuff, 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.400 and he was annoyed. He was annoyed that this gypsy 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:31.079 David Vassay is out there taking shots at the fun facts. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.640 He did not. He took a shot at the fun 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:37.080 facts that we do on this show. How dare him? 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.600 He also he took a shot at the people that 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:43.160 listened to the show. He ripped me for talking about 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.920 the Indiana Pacers when they were in a conference final 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.520 game and I came on after, and what am I 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.439 supposed to talk about? So he's taking all these shots, 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.840 but then I came back. I returned fire. I returned fire. 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.400 So I returned fire by pointing out he is he 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.920 is such a dodger Homer that he's turning into a smurf. 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.480 He's turning blow He's such a dodger Homer. And we 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:06.120 were going back in. 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.880 So that's an outdated reference, Danny. 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.040 The Smurfs are still relevant if you go to Universal Studios. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.080 Don't they have like smurfs out there Universal Studios. 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.640 Anyone listening under thirty five was like, what's a smurf? 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:18.800 No? 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.800 People know it's people know it's smurfsor hey, I'm relatable man, 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:24.160 Smurfs were before my time. 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:24.360 Day. 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.839 Yeah, but I watched them on the YouTube. I've watched 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:31.280 the Smurfs on the YouTube. So we went back on YouTube. Yeah, yeah, 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:35.360 we went back and forth, right, And I'm told the 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:40.400 number of very important people heard that conversation. Well, now 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.960 we had my guys were listening, and they were on 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.960 the bleeding edge, right. They wanted they wanted blood, blood 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.959 in the streets. So to set up where we are 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:54.720 right now as we slide into a holiday weekend, la 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.920 la la la la la la la la. The way 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.560 I will describe it is a highly combustible situation, A 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:07.160 highly combustible situation. To use the military lingo. We have 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.200 a lot of guys that did time in the military. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.760 I did not. I lived when I grew up. I 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.280 consider myself kind of like I was in the military 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.240 because I grew up between two military bases. I grew 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:22.880 up between the Eltoral Marine Base and the Tustin Marine Base. 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.200 There were two bases a few miles apart, and I 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.560 was in between them. And so when I went to school, 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.320 all the kids I would go to school with were 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.000 like military brats that had moved around and all that. 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.800 By the way, both those bases completely gone. Neither one there. 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:36.360 But when I was growing up, they were there in 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.000 Orange County. They were there when the Smurfs had their 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:39.640 TV run. 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.520 All right, shut up. So to use military jargon, they 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.960 have the def Con level now, like, for example, def 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:51.120 Con five is normal readiness. You just you know. That's 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.320 the lowest state of readines is def Con five. So 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.600 I would like to alert all the Mali militia at 0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:01.200 this moment as we head into this holiday weekend, the 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:07.400 Malord militia, my boots on the ground, my defenders, the 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.240 battle with Vassa, we are at I'm all chunked up, Danny, 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.480 I'm all chucked up even thinking about it. I gotta 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:20.440 say this. We are at deaf Con three, not one, 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.160 not to where deaf Con three. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.280 I hope Con three. I hope Vesse doesn't listen to 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.080 this podcast. He'll make a drop out of that. 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:28.720 Well. 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.200 Deaf Con three. As you know, Danny, because you did 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.040 time in the service, unless you didn't, deaf Con three 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:39.200 is air Force ready to mobilize in fifteen minutes. So 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:44.600 within fifteen minutes at deaf Con three, if Vassa continues 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:51.480 to use inflammatory language, if he continues to escalate the hostility, 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.440 we will have to move all of our soldiers to 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.000 a cyber attack on Vassa. 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.200 Oh man. And just in case you're wondering, because Vassay 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.480 is not your normal kind of last name, it's v 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:09.800 ass e g H. I mean, I'm just spelling it, 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:11.800 so you know how to spell his last name. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.480 Yeah. And in addition to that, I would also like 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:20.040 to point out while we are at Defcom three right now, 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:24.080 subject to change, subject to go higher. I also pointed 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:27.680 out to a gentleman that I've known for some time, 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:32.560 David Magdalenlo. I mispronounced his name, but David who worked 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:34.320 He worked on the Dodger broadcast for a while. I 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:35.640 don't know what he's do you know what he's doing now? 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.040 I don't know what he's No, I'm not sure. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.240 I don't think he's in the in radio. At least, 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:40.240 he's not doing what he used to do. 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:44.000 But he said he's probably actually making money now doing 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:44.600 something else. 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.400 But he's got summers off and things like that. But 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:52.120 he said that Vassay is backed by La Doyers fans. 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:56.760 Easy win against the militia, Easy win now with them 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.840 some fighting words, right, That's what I'm talking about. This 0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:03.720 is this is a highly flammable situation, and the. 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.000 Dodger fans do suck up to him though every time 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.240 they call they're like, oh, David, my life's never been 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.840 the same since you came on the radio to talk Dodgers. 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:16.120 God stop, it's nauseating, yea a Vassay. 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.800 When he interviews the players too, man, he strokes him hard. 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:22.040 Well, he's all buddies with him. And also when I 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.119 had my back and forth with him, there was a 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:26.840 chain reaction from that when I was on with the 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:31.879 Rogan with Fred and I confronted him because one of 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:39.440 Vassay's baseball buddies, Blake Snell, loser, bra, I'm risking my life, bra, 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.080 I ain't playing unless I get my that douche canoe 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:47.800 Blake Snell is buddies with Vassay. How pathetic is that? 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.240 That tells you all you need to know about the 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.879 current status of Vassay. He's changed. I'm telling you he 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.200 wasn't like this when I as a young guy, Dan, 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:56.080 he wasn't like this. 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.320 I'm not sure if this is the Dodger fan of 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.520 me talking or not. He does have some pretty good 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.919 insight to the Dodgers. But maybe that's because he's so 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:05.480 close to them. 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:07.359 Well, he's not a brown noser. 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:08.320 He's one of the guys. 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.359 He's not a brown noser. He's a blue noser, is 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.240 what he's blues. He's saying. 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.919 When he strokes them really hard, he gets blue all 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:16.800 over his shoulder. 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.280 That's what you said. I didn't say that, but I 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:22.480 didn't deny it. I did not deny, did not deny that. 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:26.160 So Magdaleno, who who said that the La Doyers fans 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.600 will take down the militia. I pointed out that we 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:33.280 are a global machine here, Okay. I got Ozzie Wiz 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:34.920 who will release the kangaroos. 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.359 Yeah, there's at least ten listeners that will go hard. 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:43.160 We've got an army of kangaroos. I've got Terry in England, 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.960 army of ten. Terry in England will unite the UK 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:50.560 branch of the MALLA militia. We've got our guy in 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:54.640 Germany on the Autobahn and he will he will be part. 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:59.119 I mean, we've got so many factions. The Vest crew 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.679 is just mostly in southern California, right, most of his 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:06.680 people and southern and the other thing that Magdaleno does 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.800 not understand. Okay, and I like David, but he doesn't 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:13.240 understand this. There are factions of the Dodger fan base 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.440 that are my guys, because I hosted that Dodger talk 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:21.359 Beforeassay years ago. So there are people that are on 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.120 my side. And if they have to pick a side 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.320 at the fork in the road, they're gonna pick me 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.280 at the Clover Relief Interchange. They're gonna take me in 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.520 that not Vassay me. So we have a group of 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:37.760 Dodger fans and we've got the mal Or militia. We'll 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.080 bring in Cowboy, and we got a cowboy cowboy and 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:44.200 Windsor hollering. James will sit on top of Assay. He'll 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:51.119 He'll have no chance, no chance. Okay, how about Marcel 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:55.919 in Brooklyn? Yes, do you want to get in to 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:58.520 an intellectual battle with Marcell in Brooklyn? No, you don't. 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:03.280 You do not. Don't worry. It's just pay the tot, 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.560 I'm telling you. So that's where I am right now. 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.720 I did not plan on talking about this this long, Danny, 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:15.879 But we're deaf Con three. That's the roundhouse level air Force, 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:21.800 ready to mobilize fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes, and we've increased 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:25.240 above normal level in the mal of Militsia. And I 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:26.800 don't want to go to deaf Con two. I certainly 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.000 don't want to go to deaf Con one. I don't. 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:34.120 But if Fas say, if he comes back and he doesn't, 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:37.800 you know, stay in his lane, then we're going to 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.080 have to go there. And I don't want to go there. 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:44.439 I don't. I do not again. I am just minding 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.919 my own business. I'm twiddling my thumbs over here, and 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:51.120 I get attacked. I get attacked by Vassay. 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.360 Yeah, just sitting there, so innocent. 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:58.680 I am, that's exactly where. That's a correct take, completely innocent, 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.879 minding my own own business. And then all of a 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:05.800 sudden I get I get a shot from from Vassie. Anyway, 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:07.840 all right, we'll move on from that. I think we've 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:11.400 wasted way too much time talking about that, but we'll 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:14.480 keep you updated. And I don't hear vass doing dodge 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:16.439 talk because I'm doing my show, so I know you 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:18.240 guys are going to be listening and let me know 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:19.800
