Speaker 2 (01:11):
I gotta says Tacos locos forever on a Taco Tuesday
or something.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
I found uh a picture Sam based on you saying
I'm the mush and you guys making fun of me.
I found the picture of each year of me taking
my kids to the game, and it's oh and one
oh and two own three, own four own five O
O and six oh and seven oh and seven and
add on that. Remember when I went to the Mets
playoff games by myself when they played the Dodgers, and
was I own three? I'm oh for my last ten?

(01:39):
Vegas would say, that's honestly very difficult.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
Remember yesterday I told you don't worry Rich, it's Robleski.
He's a spot starter usually for the Dodgers. You guys
made him look like a cy Young Award winner.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Dude. It was a It was a perfect game until
like the fifth inning.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
By the way, you know what Rich and Lindor have
in common, zero armys for the mess.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Did you see that meme?

Speaker 3 (01:58):
I actually reposted its barstools Frank the tank and it's
like zero RBI Lindor zero.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
I mean even that is like impossible to think about.
How does that dude not have any home runs in
any no RBI, Like, he didn't hit a ground ball
that drove somebody in nothing, zilch, nada nothing. That's crazy
to me. So anyway, Rich's Mets really stink. Maybe it's
your kids, respectfully that in the MUSHes though it has

(02:25):
to let up at some point. Please go to that
game because Rich lost when he went by himself. Yeah
that's true. Oh for three?

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Uh you were oh for three before you start.

Speaker 6 (02:34):
You don't blame his kids.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
So out of the last ten, Wow.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
You want to hear this, because the Mets are an
above five hundred team over the last what handful of
years since my kids have been born.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, I've been good.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
The Mets have made a couple of postseason runs. Even
when they fall short, they're over five hundred. So get this.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
The odds of me.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Going to ten losing games in a row, three postseason
games and seven regular season games with my kids point
zero one six percent, a one and six hundred and
twenty five chance, A one in six hundred and twenty
five chance.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
That would be a hell of a parlay. Guys.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
That's like hitting a ten for ten parlay half the
time betting on the underdog. Oh, for ten is pretty remarkable.
Do I try to end that streak? Friday? May first
in Anaheim? Yes, go see Mike Trout and I'll.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Ask you back. Hey, Mike, I'll come with You'll be
your good luck. Sure, I'll come with you.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Hey, Mike, the last Mike in Major League Baseball. My
buddy Covino once Ino, like, did you just like it?

Speaker 6 (03:34):
Down here?

Speaker 3 (03:35):
I can ask him. Maybe I'll get a press credential.
I'll have a little sit down with Mike. Go watch
the Mets lose again, all right for ten? And you
know what we're winning? Why would I leave? I'll post
those pictures if you're interested in all my Instagram story
at Redchhabis just to show you.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
If you want to see his kids sad faces, Just to.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Show you the progression of my sad kid faces from
when they were little babies till now six.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
And eight years.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
I'll just loose, loose, lose, looseless and interestingly enough, Danny J.
I'll post this video later as well. When Otani got
hit by that pitch, I was at that time, I
was sitting like second row right behind home plane I was.
I had a buddy down there. I was switching seats.
A couple of times I heard Otani and I have

(04:19):
it on video of him going like did you hear
it on TV? There was a audible like like he
made like a.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah when you've heard Tony like.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yeah, I was watching before my toddler was running around
screaming with his whiffleball bat.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Though scary moment. I was like, oh, please, don't, please,
don't hurt Otani. That's why I love it. Though, Like
my wife, she's in on the mush thing. She knows
all about it.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
So when I told her you were at the game
at the time there were no the mortgage, She's like,
it's going to be a no hitter.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
And it was almost the most.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Well, hey, uh MLB is popping and you know what
else is popping. And I hated for her and I
got we got to take feelings out of it because
we personally like Diana Rassini, right, She's always been cool
to us at ESPN. We just saw at the Super Bowl,
Danny we bumped into on the street also in the
Super Bowl. Just a great woman. She's always been really nice,

(05:13):
and that's what made it awkward.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I mean, from our standpoint, you want to give her
the benefit of the doubt. As a former colleague and
great analyst and always a great guest, you want to
give her the benef of doubt. And when you hear
the story and when you look back, you know, my
whole side of it was, well, pictures don't always paint inaccurate.
And I still story because we've been caught in those

(05:37):
weird situations and you know, hey, let's let's let this
whole thing pan out before we really speculate. That was
sort of our stance when this story first came out,
but there was a lot of smoke, and now, as
of today, she resigns, and respectfully want to say I
wish everybody involved the best because it sounds like an
awkward situation for sure. But my only question is, and

(05:59):
I was talking Mike, who runs this place? Who who
runs this take? Will be doing that tomorrow? On Dan Patrick?
Mike he looks like Rick from Pond Stars who but
more handsome. Mike resigning doesn't make the story go away,
does it? I mean, but now you have no job,
and and now the story's still out there. Well, I

(06:22):
cam fired, no, but I feel I feel for Diyna
Versini because if she really is.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Not one guilty of what like you, I mean, I
can't speak for her, but I'll say this.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
If it was me and I had pictures of me
with other people I was with, you better believe I'd
be putting them out there be like, you know, you
guys are crazy. Here's someone else, here's be with the bellop,
here with the bellop.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
That's what I would do, respectfully. You go back there
and reenact photos.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, like I.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Would double down on my innocence. So you guys are
out of your mind, get a life speculating on me.
You creeps about you creeps us, you know, taking fake
pictures of me I was with this person.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Here's all the photos you lose.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
I get what she's saying though, that it was fueled
and escalated by the social media world we live in now,
where it's like everyone loves to be a trash talker
and all funny memes and funny joke So it does
escalate and you're not quite sure of the true story, right, Like,
even if it was like of a friendly, flirty nature,
it doesn't mean her and Vrabel were sleeping together, Like
we're really you're you're you're really making a hell of

(07:25):
a lot of assumptions based on a couple photos that
weren't terrible. And I by her resigning, is what I'm saying.
I resigned because her contract's coming up soon, and they
will either clear this up and be like, oh my god,
let's hire her back as it looks terrible what they did.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Or she'll find a new suitor someone too.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Or they knew the writing was on the wall and
they were going to fire her anyway, so she just
beat them to the punch.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Isn't there something to be said though about Like I
know you're saying, like, show me, then show me you
hang with other people.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
I'm just saying, if I was guilty of murder, whatever
they say it, I was killdev I'm doing everything in
my power to be like no, to prove my innocence,
Like you're out of your mind, that's not what happened.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Here's what happened.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
You know, I would make it clear to everybody, like
and if I was with a bunch of people like
she said, which she said he didn't say, I would
have definitely shown those pictures. Maybe she has the reasons
for not Maybe she wants to keep other people out
of it.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
That's fair too.

Speaker 6 (08:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
I'm just like I said, I can't speak on her behalf,
and I'm trying to do this respectfully.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
It's awkward.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
I'm just saying what I would do in that situation.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, but you know what, what do they always tell
what a lawyers and people say, Like when someone's like,
I didn't do it, I didn't murder them, like they
always tell people be quiet?

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Is let your turn? Like you come across more defensive?

Speaker 6 (08:41):
Right? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Like that's like then you would say that, it's like
a it's deflection one oh one.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Like, but doesn't it make it look worse when you resign.
It's almost like you caved in to the accusations. It's like,
even though it doesn't make it true, when people settle
out of court, I get it, you're saving money, it's easier.
You just want to move on and just get out
of this. But doesn't imply sometimes in your mind that
maybe they were guilty.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah, but even though it's not true, maybe maybe she
maybe she resigned with the payoff and we don't know
all the details. I'm just that's just a speculation. I'm saying,
you know how, a lot of times when they want
to fire someone important, what do they say?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
No one important. We guys, we could all agree.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Unless you're a coach in major league sports or professional sports,
no one important gets fired. If a CEO of a company,
what happens. They resign or they step away and they
get a little package to leave and they say, how
would you like to leave?

Speaker 1 (09:36):
You see it in TV shows, but it's also real life.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
CEOs, presidents, big dogs of companies don't get fired.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
They stepping down. They step down to pursue agreed way.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
Yeah, like part ways so I do.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Though, you know the athletic and this is again just speculation.
They could have been like, yeah, Diana, I don't know
if this is gonna work out, and she's like, well
then you know what, let's let's package it that I
resign and you got I still do your investigation.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
You don't know what's going on behind the scenes. I
just hate that someone she lost her job.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, I think there's a kids, you know, a double
standard that were with his mom.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
And lost her really probably high paying job.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Because I think it really sucks that Rabel sort of
gets away Scott Free, I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Back to normal for him and angry wife. That's that's
what I mean. Like he's an angry wife. She lost
her job.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
He might be sleeping on the couch, but life's still
moving forward. And you also have to ask yourself too,
like that's not distracting for him. It has to be
distracting for him. Well, the way you want his focus
to be on football, that's got to be a thorn
in his side. But it seems to be like his
life moves forward and she has to resign.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
That's that's unfair. I don't like that.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
But the difference in I forget who posted this over
the weekend, is that he's dealing with a moral issue
where her issues are twofold ethical and moral because of
the concept of interest. Yeah, she's a journalist, so yeah,
it's not fair. But that's how it was.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
The statement in the article or in her statement that
stuck out to you, Rich because I know you wanted
to dissect it.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
The part that Dampire pointed out his update dB where
she where she says she's not resigning as some sort of.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Sort of admission of guilt.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Correct, she's she's she's resigning because this needs to go away,
and she'll refuse to lend it further oxygen about it
define me or my career.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
And it's a really it's a really unfortunate thing.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
It's, uh, you know, something scandalous happens to someone and
it's really a bummer that that's the you know, that's
the thing that will always pop up in their Google
that is, that's the one thing that will always pop
up when someone talks about them.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
And again, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Saying what she did was right or who even knows
if she did anything right? Who knows if it's just
a really flirty relationship.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
We've no one, no one you know, has ever had
a like a flirty relationship that's yeah, maybe.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
A little a little much, But like why we were
all assuming they're like, uh, what did you say yesterday
bumping uglies?

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Well, I didn't know what to say. We're on Fox
Sports Radio. I mean we stuck with whoopee.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (12:08):
Yeah, Yeah, this isn't the first time that there's been
a maybe someone of head coach sort of level power
connected to someone else. But it was never there were
never photos, there were never, there was never this sort
of like speculation that you would see the victims that
you guys talk about are everyone directly related to them

(12:29):
family wise? And the other portion of it is I
think there's the Philadelphia Eagles fan base who is upset
because of the AJ Brown narrative that has gone on
of AJ Brown being sent as a possibility to the
New England Patriots. And so if you're the Philadelphia Eagles fans,

(12:50):
you feel like, hey, wait a second, what's going on here?
But ultimately, I don't know how it would affect anybody
else except those family members and the people that are
affected and in those small NFL circles that we that
we talk about, Like, I just I feel like there's

(13:10):
been we don't know what went on. But if we
want to look at think worst case scenario and think
of the victims, I just think that our NFL information
that we got that may be jaded is just further
down the list than what needs to be.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
I'm just thinking out loud, this is really awkward. It
really is.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
And if we're going to like be ethics police, you know,
when it comes to journalism and everything like that, is
this the first time we've heard about these type of relationships?

Speaker 1 (13:39):
What about other people? Dating professional athletes.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
That doesn't matter because I hear stories of that other
people dating professional athletes.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Does that not matter the other the men or women
journalists or people. Yeah, I mean, that's what I'm saying,
Like all of a sudden, journalistic integrity matters with this story,
but it doesn't matter with other hosts and other people
in sports. That's interesting to me too, And that's not
the point, fingers. I'm just saying things that I hear.

(14:09):
It's like, no one really seems to care about that
stuff too much. Maybe the photos really tell a different
story now. Honestly, again it's it's it's weird story, and
I would feel way different if I saw and I
know they whoever this was whatever, and no one's ever
who's who hired some private investigator? That's another great question,

(14:30):
and we got to the bottom of that. Who took
these photos?

Speaker 7 (14:32):
We haven't gotten the bottom of anything. Nobody knows anything
except from what was was released, like no one's no
one said anything about anything. We know just as much
now as we did a week ago, aside from everyone
unearthing all of these Diana Roussini clips so from the
past ten years.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Picture of them side by side, in the hot tub, innocent.
Picture of them, yeah, picture of them walking the buy
a resort, innocent. The only one is the interlocking holding hands,
and that's what people going off of because of that picture.
I was like, man, they're definitely sleeping together. And this
thing went out of control to the point where she's
lost her job.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
No one else has.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Play else, like just to be fair that the stories
didn't seem to be aligned the same way, Like she's
the one that said that they're in there where the
pictures were taken, and he sort of dismissed like any like,
laughed about it, didn't even mention that, well, it was
ahead of.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
What wasn't in that area. Wasn't there some coaches?

Speaker 5 (15:28):
It was a couple hours away, Yeah, adults only like
romantic type resort, according to reports who.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Called it a romantic.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, it's known as like I want to know, I
want to know where it is so I can maybe,
uh look it up a nice little ghetaway yelp its
his bang palace.

Speaker 7 (15:50):
About the engagements and the weddings and yeah, like the
NFL affairs.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, the whole thing really is a shame. But it's
not like, hey, we didn't do anything.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
M I hope for they. I hope for their sake.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Their families and everyone are are good. But it is
interesting like if and if it is true. Hey, you
know what, I'm not wanting to judge other people. We
all we all uh no, one's perfect. What is it
the glass house stones thing?

Speaker 2 (16:17):
He who lives in glasshouses something like that or pool
me once shame can walk around naked?

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, day, if you live in a glasshouse, don't don't.

Speaker 6 (16:25):
Walk around with.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
You can't get fooled again.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
You live in a glasshouse, don't walk around with your
junk out stones and the stone thing. Well, either way,
my point is I would really hate it for I
would really hate it if if.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
They were just that careless.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
I'm not gonna lie if they were, if they were
just that careless, like hey, they were, let's say yeah,
but allegedly there was something going on and they were
careless enough as a visibly noticeable, recognizable main NFL reporter
and head coach of your AFC title game Patriots to
so willy nilly be in public.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
You're asking for like bad things to happen. If it's
innocent that it's.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Like, I don't want to see anyone lose their jobs
act something like this.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's the truth.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
But it's unfair to me that she has to deal
with consequences that he apparently does it. And I'm not
saying that he should be fired. I wouldn't want that
at all. I'm just saying it doesn't seem to be
a fair situation right now.

Speaker 7 (17:23):
I would just say to that though, And I don't
know there. I know Diane Orsini is married and as
a young child, and I know that Mike Vrabel's married
and has kids of his own, But I would just
think about their significant others. Are those kids seeing that
picture and the feeling that it would have, Yeah, And
that's where I think that they're the true victims in
all of this.

Speaker 6 (17:42):
And if this is innocent, point to.

Speaker 7 (17:45):
Your to your point of you know, you gotta be better,
you know, because if those because just that that's still image.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Even a flirty photo, would say, it would be like
I still.

Speaker 6 (17:54):
Would be very upsetting to those the closest to you.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yes, No, agreed, one hundred percent. Oh, I know.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
My final point was going to say, and then we
need a contestant. By the way, if you want to
play this is gonna be a fun one today, I'm
gunning for Dann Bayer. Let's do this debate eight seven,
seven nine nine on Fox. Last One Standing, He's the
man to beat if you want in again eight seven,
seven nine to nine on Fox.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Are a CNR Prize pack.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
I think everyone piling on is the part where I'm like,
I just do it feels dirty. All these people that
have been probably like friendly with her over the years,
very backstabby to me, right, and.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Not only that, that's why I'm handling this conversation, yeah,
or we're handling this conversation the way we are. It's
like you don't want to seem like a face no
good son of it. But at the same time, you
also can't ignore it when it's one of the main headlines.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
No exactly.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
But I also think what's what's bs is that all
these podcast and radio clips of her just being really
likable and funny the way Rassini is and taking out
of contacts like listener, we're talking about her husband. If
you've only heard the joking nature of things Cavino and
I have said, or any hostess that try to get
a laugh, like when you trying to get a laugh
when she's in an interview being like, man, I don't

(19:08):
know the night before my wedding, like I bumped into
Jimmy Garoppolo.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Like that's clearly like a.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Funny in jest comment. But under these circumstances, people are
people are pulling up all these clips, and I think
it's gross. I really do, I really do. I think
it's disgusting how people are jumping at this.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
I hope, I hope that we see some photos of
them in mixed company, just to put the fires out.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
If anything makes some AI wants Diana Jee's hey cover
the faces? Yeah right, well, hey more Covino on Rich

Speaker 6 (31:28):
End quote.

Speaker 7 (31:29):
For Senior reveal their contract with the Athletic was set

Speaker 6 (32:11):
Guys, back to you, thanks.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Dan Byer.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
One last thought on the Dianasini Rabel thing. We said, it's,
you know, it's a sensitive topic. What would be the
proof anyone would really need? Meaning like if you did
find out, like, hey, it's a romantic couples resort and
there were no other people there, would that be what
seals it for you? Short of like a picture of
them kissing or something like what would you need to say?

Speaker 1 (32:33):
No, I don't believe you because if Diana versa in Rabel.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
But that's why I think she could put the fire
out easily with proof that there was other people there.
But I'm saying if Rassini, because otherwise, why are you
there at a romantic getaway with.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
I don't know a colleague of if.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Rabel and Rassini are both in denial of denying this,
and they both have families short of a picture of
them kissing or like, yeah, what would what would make
everybody gotcha? Versus just saying, hey, we got to take
their word. I guess, like I mean, I feel it
is it.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
It's already a gotcha without the proof otherwise unfortunately, But
I'm saying, like, if we gave her for the record, again,
people hear bits and pieces we gave her, and we
still do the benefit of the doubt because Rich and
I have been in situations, as we said, when we
first start the story, where we've taken pictures with women
and it looks like you're hanging out the whole night
and maybe you.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Were like getting it on. Meanwhile, it was like a
three second moment.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Yeah, like, hey, let's feel a picture and yeah, so
I get that world, but this is a little different
and uh, wishing them the best.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
That's all all right?

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Hey, uh, before you get out of here, Danny G
I know you want to play a quick round of
would you rather?

Speaker 5 (33:42):
Yeah, because, as we just heard, Rich starts watching the
NBA tonight, I'm all set?

But before we go, Danny g maybe we continue this
tomorrow a little, would you rather, because tonight we got
your NBA playing games.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
Yeah, what made me think about this? This resurfaced on
a sports website because it's been going on for a
few years now with Serbian, Russian and Romanian women. They
have this thing. It's the female version of power slap.
It's the booty slapping championship.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Yeah, how do I join this?

Speaker 5 (36:48):
And so these ladies are in the middle of a
ring slapping each other's butts until one says I'm out
of here too much. And Rich, you claim to watch
NBA starting with the playoffs. So I asked you, and
I'll ask both of you, would you rather watch tonight's
play in games or watch the booty slapping Championships?

Speaker 1 (37:06):
For real? Though?

Speaker 2 (37:07):
I mean, yeah, I got a couple more serbian booty
slap competition or tonight's playing games?

Speaker 1 (37:15):
You want real talk? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (37:19):
I knew that was Rich's answer.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
I mean, I mean they heat, the Heat and the
Hornets and Blazer You've.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
Watched some NBA games this season, so I feel like
you're a little more invested. He also like booty, we
got the heat and the Hornets and the Blazers and
the Suns.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
But you know what, Rich, I'd prefer to do my
own buddhis slapping. I'll watch the NBA games. That's my
true answer, all right?

Speaker 5 (37:40):
Would you rather watch tonight's play in games or go
on a nice bike ride with Big Mic in Culver City?

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Bike ride with Mike in Culver City? And I mean,
does he have a bike ready for me? Do I
have to pack up my own bike bike with Mike?
I think I round the bike with Mike. Wow, well,
I like the idea, I don't like the hassle of
getting there, so I'm gonna stay home and watch the games.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
No offense to Mike.

Speaker 5 (38:10):
Would you rather watch tonight's play in games or watch
Love on the Spectrum?

Speaker 9 (38:15):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Season four? I'm hearing great things, you know what. I
gotta be honest. You got me with this one. Connor's
my dude. I think he's funny. He's on the season right,
Tanner's not right? Which one's which?

Speaker 3 (38:26):
Who's the out? Tanner's out, Connor's in. Yeah, I'm watching
the season four. I'm hearing great things about it. You
know what, I will watch the NBA playing games. I
love over Love on the Spectrum. It's endeering, but it
makes me feel weird. I don't know, all right, you
know what? I would watch the Love Island, No A
temptation Island.

Speaker 6 (38:45):
To give you a compliment, now, I take effect.

Speaker 5 (38:47):
Would you rather watch tonight's playing games or take Dan
Bayer to Benny Hannah for his first time?

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Oh easy, y'all start, I'll take Dan Byer. We owe him.
I would love to see his face enjoy an onion volcano.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
For sure, it's hot.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
I want to watch the onion volcano because I'd be
so busy watching Dan's face watch the onion volcano.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Oh yeah, we gotta make this happen every It should
be a giveaway, like come join us for a habachi
night with Dan Byer.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Dan Bayer.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
Think of it like you know when your kids see
things for the first time and you're.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Like, oh, look at the joy in their eyes.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
Damn Byer's never seen beating heart. He's never seen onion volcano.
He's never seen Japanese Coca cola when they did. He's
never seen the Book of Tricks. He's never seen let
me catch the shrimptail of my hat.

Speaker 6 (39:30):
Get this.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
You know what I would do. I'll be like, I'd
go over to the haibachi guy be like, by the way,
it's his birthday. Yeah, Daniel side birthday would be so great?

Speaker 6 (39:44):
All right? Two final ones here.

Speaker 5 (39:45):
Would you rather watch tonight's playing games or go to
Target to spend a fifty dollars bill you found on
the ground playing games?

Speaker 3 (39:52):
Or go to Target and buy three fifty I'm going
to Target. I love me some Target. I'm spending too
much money. You lost me there? I hate Target runs.
I'm day and home watching the games. Yeah, easy, breezing,
all right?

Speaker 5 (40:03):
And finally, would you rather watch tonight's play in games
or go with Iowa Sam to the batting cages at
sherman Oaks Castle Park.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Oh, play a little game of mini golf too, or
just batting games.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
I'm hanging with that with Samuel. Yeah that sounds like fun.
I don't see I drive by that every day on
my way here.

Speaker 6 (40:19):
Would you at least check the scores on your phone?

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Check regardless.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
I'm like, I'm gonna always say to myself, I wish
I should take my nephew now.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Now I want to go with Sam.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
I'll be checking Magic and Sixers when I'm at my
daughter's softball game, and then I'll probably turn on Warrior
that's actually tomorrow. By the way, even it's even a conversation,
I'll check you. I feel like the NBA lost the
little sneach.

Speaker 6 (40:40):
She doesn't even know who's playing tonight.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Can I tell you this, though, Danny G When I
say I watch when the playoffs start as risk, when
like the real playoffs start, because we talked about this
before the show. We were saying, how there is more
motive for some of these teams to not be in
the playing game because they're odds in the lottery go
up and these bottom of teams. What you're Danny g

(41:02):
You laid it up perfectly before the show. You were saying,
so they could do what be like the almost like
the tin the tomato soup can for the one seeds.

Speaker 5 (41:11):
Yeah, which of these teams could you envision going on
this crazy run and winning at all?

Speaker 3 (41:15):
Like, let's say like the Hornets get hot. Oh, let's
go to the Western Conference. Yeah, they're not winning.

Speaker 6 (41:20):
Let's say like the.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
Blazers somehow get in. So what OKC can beat them
four to zero or four to one Exactly, You're just
gonna get your ass whip. So I see very little
initiative and meaning in these games. But and the fan
bases aren't that pumped because their teams are borderline and
the fans probably want them to go get a better
guy or something.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
So if you're not going for a bike ryand you're
not playing mini golf, you're not doing hibachi Tonight Miami
at Charlotte Portland at Phoenix.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Your NBA playing games start tonight. What are you doing well?
Watching love on the spectrum? What do you do?

Speaker 3 (41:52):

Kingdom of Fraud

Kingdom of Fraud

It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth. Kingdom of Fraud is produced by Novel for iHeart Podcasts. For more from Novel, visit https://novel.audio/.
