Hey, Hey, good morning guys, good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Okay, So Swagerman, you and your dog Swagy have more
than three million followers on ig on Instagram, so undoubtedly
a lot of people already know about Swaggy. But tell
us about you and Swaggy and what you guys have
been doing all around southern California, you.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Know, so right now, like we're just like our journey
just basically started. You know, we've been doing the internet
for over ten years, but these last three months we
found a passion where basically we're just trying to unite
people to love each other, spread positivity, you know, because
we're now we're living in a world where people are
(00:45):
not happy, people are sad, people are going through stuff,
people are trying to fight, argue, and you know, me,
I'm not like too much involved in politics, but like
I'm just trying to make everyone love each other and
you know, spread positivity and just like make people ile laugh,
And that's what we've been doing these last three months.
And okay, so like these last three weeks has been
(01:07):
going to like insane, I don't know, Okay, but.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Tell us for people who are not familiar with you
on Instagram what you and Swaggy specifically are doing.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So basically we are the I'm pretty sure you guys
probably send it on the internet with the guy that
drives in the little toy car for seven year olds
and is a husky and a guy with a mask
with a flag, a Mexican flag, an American flag, Canadian flag.
So we fly different types of flags and we just
(01:38):
go to different places around the United States. And right
now we've been doing California and he's just been going
to different cities. Okay, go in love and making people smile.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And you do make people smile if you watch the videos.
I mean, people get you know, they get a kick
out of seeing a little Swaggy and you driving around
in the little cyber truck.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
It's adorable.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
But you had kind of a rough time on opening
day at Dodger Stadium when you did that.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah, you know, sometimes you know, like you know, you
could be very positive, you could like wake up every
day like Okay, I'm gonna be happy, but some days,
you know, some there's times that it could be good days,
bad days, and you know, fortunately that day was not
the day, and you know, we're just going there to
make everyone happy, made people smile. You know, we grew
(02:26):
up here in Los Angeles and you know we're a
big fan of the Dodgers, and you know, one of
my dreams was to be to do first pitch for
the Dodgers. But unfortunately we got banned at the Dodgers Babium.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
What did you do? Swagerman? That you man that you
got banned?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So basic? So basically, we just took a little toy
car made for kids, children like any seven year old
could drive it. It drives five miles power and once
we arrived in the scene on the parking lot, we
got basically followed chase. It was like a little mini
(03:01):
police chase, I guess, you know, yes, and they basically
stopped us, and you know, like I feel like it
was kind of like very unfair because they said that
I was kicked out before, but I've never been there,
and I actually just got some information from other people
telling me that there's another person that's driving in a
(03:24):
little seven year old car as well with a dog.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Okay, so they're saying, why did they say that they
removed you from the parking lot at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
But they basically they basically said, uh, from our footage
is that the security guard, the main person in charge
of the property. He said that the reason why they
decide to ban me from the Dodger Stadium is because
I was not complying with the officer. And the officer
(03:59):
was asked for my driver license, and I was telling
them that why do you want my driver license? And
why am I being detained? I'm not doing anything wrong.
If you have a reason for then I will give
you my driver license. But unfortunately, he just kept asking
for my driver license. And all the fans were there
and they were actually agreeing with me because they were saying, hey,
(04:24):
is he free to go or is he being detained?
And the officer just kept like trying to like ask
for my driver license. And I know, my.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Lawdy, they didn't arrest you, they but they told you
you had to leave, and so we saw the video.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Actually, I actually I actually tried to leave and I
told the officer, hey, officer, actually, like, can I just
go to my car because our car was down the street,
and I told her, hey, can we just leave? It's fine,
I'll just leave. It's all good. But Unfortunately, they weren't
letting me leave and they were just giving me a
hard time, and they were telling me, hey, you know,
I could impound your car because this is an unregistered car,
(05:04):
so technically I could impound your car. And I was like,
why would you guys impound this car? It's a seven
year old car. Are you going to go up to
a seven year old and impounder car too?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Okay, so Swigerman, let's let's just get real for one second.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
It The reality is it's adorable.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You're driving around in the little cyber truck with your dog,
who is a beautiful, beautiful dog. Is there concern though
that you know that that could be dangerous because I
drive around in Dodger in the Dodger's parking lot with
my car and it's it's a sketchy parking lot. I mean,
you know, people coming and going and everything's not marked
(05:42):
really great, Like, aren't you concerned? Maybe or maybe they're
concerned that you could get hurt by a car that
doesn't see you because you were in a little tiny.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Car, so you know, like you know, you know, so
you know, before we go to these places, you know,
we always study and look at the places where we
go to and you know, fortunately we went in a
time where there was a lot of pagestrians just walking
and you know, usually where I was at was it
(06:12):
was not as crazy as people think it was. I mean,
it wasn't crazy at all. It was just pagestians just walking.
And you know, I'm driving in a little car with
two big flags, a Dodger's flag and a Mexican flag,
and it's like twelve feet so you know, anyone could
see a flag from far away because it stands out.
But I would never put my dog in danger. I
(06:34):
would never do that because I take her my dog
and I love my dog. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Okay, so Swigerman, is have you reached out to the Dodgers?
Is there any chance you can get your lifelong band lifted?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Or is that just.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Still to be honest, like it just like you know,
the video it went super viral on TikTok. You know,
we have like almost seven eight million followers on TikTok,
I believe, and you know, the video went viral probably
got like maybe over thirty million views. But unfortunately, like
you know, we have not gotten no response from the Dodgers.
(07:08):
You know, people have been saying, hey, we can help
you get on bend. But you know, I just like
I actually want to be able to attend the Dodger
Stadium because, like you know, it doesn't feel the same
watching the Dodgers in TV or at a somewhere. You know,
it kind of hurts. And they didn't even give me
(07:28):
a tamline. They just told me, hey, if you ever
come back here, you will be arrested. And he told
all the security guards that if I come back, I'll
be arrested. And I guess, you know, it's just like
the Final Days. But you know, you know, I'm in
that stage in life where hey, if I'm not wanted,
it is what it is. It's part of life. Not
(07:49):
everywhere you go people are not going to want you there.
So you know, I'm still going to be a Dodgers
fan and I'm still going to support them, and I
do not want anything bad like the Billy to Go
what happened. I'm not sure you know the story about
the Billy to Go now about that story, no, I don't.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But but just to stay on the Dodger story. Who knows,
maybe maybe there will be.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
A meeting in the minds and they can get that
lifted or something.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
But and you can you actually get me unbanned from
the Dodger stack.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You and I I'll ask my people. We'll see what
we can do.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Swigerman, thank you so much for coming on and explaining
your side of the story. And please give that Swaggy
a big hug because that is one beautiful dog.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And be safe out there. What's your ig and TikTok?
So people can follow you if they want.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
You Guys could just search s w A g R
M A N or you could just look up Swaggy
wolf Dog on Google. You'll find them. I want to
say thank you so much, and it's very awesome talking
to you.
Speaker 2 (08:47):

Speaker 1 (08:52):
I appreciate you. Now you can get all kinds of
stuff done today. Swagerman and Swaggy, thanks so much. Good
luck to you. I hope they lift that ban because
you know, all your friends need to be together, all right.
