Matthew KlimowGUEST
66:31
So, um, we went to, uh, a different part of, um, the command center, and secretary says we need to raise our alert level.
Matthew KlimowGUEST
66:42
We raised our force protection level already, but he said we need to go to DEFCON 3, which is a dramatic decision and, and some historians have questioned the wisdom of it.
Matthew KlimowGUEST
66:52
Because that put all of our-
Jack MurphyHOST
66:54
That was done to put our air defenses on, like, full alert, right?
Matthew KlimowGUEST
66:57
Yes.
Matthew KlimowGUEST
66:57
But when you go to DEFCON 3, it also alerts our nuclear forces.
Jack MurphyHOST
67:00
Yes.
Matthew KlimowGUEST
67:01
And the Russians were conducting, um, drills in El- in the Bering Sea area near Alaska, um, which Made things a little dicey.
Karl RoveGUEST
15:10
The day before, they had locked the base down to do a training drill, so there were no civilian employees.
Karl RoveGUEST
15:16
They were on, you know, DEFCON, you know, one standing.
Dave AnthonyHOST
15:19
Mm-hmm.
Karl RoveGUEST
15:19
So we, you know, we, we, we land there.
John DiMaggioGUEST
31:48
They go after those hospitals.
John DiMaggioGUEST
31:50
And, you know, when I was at DEFCON, I talked about this extensively.
John DiMaggioGUEST
31:53
But the biggest sort of the end of my fallout with LockBit was, you know, when they had attacked St. Anthony's Hospital in Chicago.
John DiMaggioGUEST
32:03
And it has a children's cancer ward.
Andrew DukowitzHOST
26:39
And again, as Jude mentions in the chat, first series of the WNBA playoffs is three games.
Andrew DukowitzHOST
26:44
So I am fascinated to see how the seating works out because right now I think the DEFCON like emergency, this is all gone wrong type of scenario is you get the mystics in the first round who are incredibly big they have a six foot five center off the bench and bets irfan and austin have been awesome they play physical that i don't that's going to be a three game series and i don't know if you can stay healthy through that just by the amount of like physicality and then like god forbid if they get atlanta in the second round and now you're going up against one of the best defensive teams in the league angel reese jordan canada's an incredible defender I mean, it almost feels like they're going to need some luck to either get Dallas to be the eighth seed so they can just go beat up on a Dallas team that doesn't have AZ Fudd or Alana Smith now, or they're going to have to just go through a gauntlet to win this championship, which...
Andrew DukowitzHOST
27:46
I don't know.
Andrew DukowitzHOST
27:48
It's so interesting this year because, like, statistically, the Lynx should be the favorite to win the championship.

JamesHOST
58:35
Um, next two are really good after this week, and you might say next three are really good, including this week.
JamesHOST
58:42
Um, it is notable that Newcastle defenders like M- Malick Thiaw's Defcon numbers was really low at Tottenham in game week two, so I'm conscious he's not a definite for Defcon tomorrow.
JamesHOST
58:52
But five and six fixtures are good.
JamesHOST
58:55
I think in the uglier run of fixtures they have, he will still pick them up.
Cliff MayHOST
15:22
Yeah, and we are, of course.
Lewis Scooter LibbyGUEST
15:24
He recollected that we should – if we're going to change our DEFCON level, we better alert the Russians.
Lewis Scooter LibbyGUEST
15:31
And
Cliff MayHOST
15:32
just didn't award what DEFCON is so people understand what that means.
Preston NoblesHOST
14:05
I think I could see them all getting on some kind of goal or assist this week.
Preston NoblesHOST
14:09
And I could also see Egan having like 20 DEFCON contributions again.
Preston NoblesHOST
14:14
I know he's been racking those up.
Preston NoblesHOST
14:16
But I know Chelsea, I did see that they're missing Caicedo still.
RyanHOST
75:51
That's the second tower crashed down.
RyanHOST
75:56
10.53, Donald Rumsfeld orders U.S. military to go to DEFCON 3, which you can get into what DEFCONs mean.
RyanHOST
76:04
11.45, Air Force One lands at Air Force Base in Louisiana.
RyanHOST
76:10
12.15, the airspace in the United States is completely free of all commercial and private flights.

10 MINS LATER

BobHOST
86:23
So we drew weapons.
BobHOST
86:25
We drew weapons, started gathering our gear, started gathering it up.
BobHOST
86:29
We don't know what's happening, but at this point, and Ryan had alluded to the DEFCONs, the DEFCON was going up as events started to progress.
BobHOST
86:40
And once the Secretary of Defense at the time was Donald Rumsfeld, once he called it to DEFCON 3, which is mobilization within 16 hours, I think it's 16 hours, I'd have to go back and look at it.
RudraHOST
37:23
Yeah, Khalil is probably one of the top pickups as well.
RudraHOST
37:25
He's had DEFCON every week that he's played.
RudraHOST
37:28
So he's a DEFCON magnet apart from having an attacking threat as well.
RudraHOST
37:31
So definitely good assets to pick up over there from a Crystal Palace perspective.
RudraHOST
37:37
The other one that I want to call out is our Ahu that Vinny mentioned earlier.
RudraHOST
39:16
So yeah, definitely a good shot over there.
RudraHOST
39:18
They do play Arsenal and Man City next.
RudraHOST
39:19
So make sure you're looking into that when you're picking up these plays without the expectation of possibly a clean sheet, but more so a DEFCON two-point return
