Dan Bongino.
Why is Dan Bongino stepping away from his show?
Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. Guys, before I wrap up with you today at the end of the podcast, I just want to be sure to introduce to you who is going to be taking over my show. Obviously, I will have a lot going on. I will be divorcing myself from the business. It's been a long process. I'm going to tell you something. I'm not in any of this for the money, the cash, any of that stuff. Obviously, no one goes into government work to get rich. I just like good people because if you surround yourself with good people, then good and great things happen. And if you surround yourself with bad people, then awful things happen. Vince Colonese is one of the most talented people in the business. An incredible talent.
Who is Vince Colonese and what will his role be?
He's had a show on WMAL. He is launching his podcast on the Silverlock Network on Monday at 10 a.m., so an hour earlier. You're going to have Steven Crowder afterwards on Rumble at 11. You've got Evita at 9. You've got Haley at 6. You've got the quartering. You've got Don Jr. You've got an amazing lineup. Vince, it is an honor to have you. You're going to be taking over the radio show, too. And I just want to thank you for taking this on so last minute.
I can't even believe I'm here. And I'm so over the moon about all of this. And I will say, this is the most unusual exchange in media that you will ever see, I promise, for the rest of your life. This is a jealous industry. This is an industry where people, you know, there's some people who help each other out. But for the most part, when a guy gets a job, usually somebody else has to lose it.
How did Vince Colonese react to taking over?
That's usually how that works. And what's happening here is Dan is stepping away from all of this. Look around us. I mean, just in this room. And then, of course, look at the chat and what he's built. And... I think it's just such an obvious sign of your decency and your commitment to your country that you can do this. You can walk away from this and then become the deputy director of the FBI. Who wants that job? This guy wants that job. So you're going in to do something really important. And like I said, this is deeply unusual. So ever since it was announced, am I on mic? Good. Ever since it was announced, the reaction has been completely positive. And that's a testament to you. You said, this is my guy. I like this guy. He's going to do a good job.
And your audience, the Bongino Army, has responded so well. It's been unbelievable how nice this has all been.
What is the story behind the 'shmedium' shirts?
They're so passionate.
And we're going to do great things, man. And the message I keep getting is, you've got big shoes to fill. I'm like, I know. but what I really have is shmedium shirts to fill.
Yeah, that's... Nicole Wallace. Guys, Nicole, make sure Nicole gets a photo of Vince immediately when he wears his first shmedium.
That Nicole Wallace clip is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
Why notice that?
Isn't that the weirdest thing? She instantly was talking about your t-shirts, and I was like, this needs some sort of slow bass line underneath it. She was really into the Bongino show.
Brother, for as much as we've criticized Rachel Maddow... and Nicole Wallace. I promise you, you are not going to find a clip of me going, hey, that's some outfit she's got on. Like, what is the weirdest thing? Like, it was such an oddball comment out of nowhere.
Like, she was practically fanning herself on television.
Who are the upcoming guests on Vince's new podcast?
Right, it was just so weird.
But a funny story on that. So yesterday, Paul and I, we got some guys at the house, some really good guys, and one of them bought me a T-shirt. And the guy said, I don't know what size you are. I said, well, you know, it's queen, so you got to round down. That's where I'm from. And he knew right away. He's like, let me guess, the shmedium.
