ACHP 497 From FBI Fails to Cigar Pills, You Can't Make This Up

Transcript

21 and action.

Welcome to a Cigar Hustler

podcast, episode 498.

I'm Mike Bomber, your host.

And over in engineering, we have

Phil.

Never catch me resting under a

tree, Mcguffey.

Ding bong.

Running the board and then as my

Co host.

What happens in a hotel in

Alabama stays in a hotel in

Alabama.

Mikey step unkept.

Only if it's with you.

Oh, that's nice.

That's right.

On this week's show, the FBI

director's worst photo ever.

Don't tell the truth if you're

sitting in an exit row.

Everybody wants to live here.

And then in cigars, the Germans

want you to take a cigar pill in

West Virginia.

No smoking in the smoking

lounge.

And it's Aladio's birthday.

Again.

Again, again, every year.

Every year about this time,

apparently, it's crazy.

Followed by the weeks.

What's the score?

The El Marinero.

The Marino.

The Marinara.

You take Goose so excited about

that.

Wait real quick about the

shirts, Are all the magoobers

gone?

Yeah, that was only a that.

Was a pre-order I offered.

A pre-order only and boom, I

turned them off.

So that's how that works.

I actually do have a couple of

extra vinyls leftover, the Mr.

Magoomer goober Magoo Megumer.

However I think that's for

internal use only.

Buddy, you know, there you go.

So there's that.

Now, do you have three?

You guys could all wear one.

Well, I have one.

I have. 10, you have yours.

Well, I was going to say, you

guys could all wear them on one

day of the PCA.

There might be two, so that

might work.

Let's see, getting into some

comments.

Yes, there's been some.

There's been a run here in the

last couple of.

Minutes before we do that.

Before we do that.

If you want to hear true,

unbiased opinions about cigars

and the cigar industry, check

out our patreonpatreon.com.

We talk a little bit more

insider baseball as well.

It's patreon.com, a cigar

hustlers back slash.

You can just look at search.

Oh well, the way you're saying,

it's not like you're giving them

the website.

Patreon.com and then search a

Cigar Hustlers spot.

To put the a in there.

So check out patreon.com.

Yeah, we do have quite a few

comments.

Obviously we missed some from

the previous.

Yes, so.

We'll try and get some of those

into, but there's a lot today,

so.

Of course there is.

Should be a lot tomorrow with

that new mask there we have not

mentioned.

Yeah.

We have not mentioned.

That the the April May.

That's the in honor of Mother's

Day, I'm going to dress like a

Peacock.

Of mothers, then, yeah.

Oh, I thought this was like your

guys's PCA farewell.

No, that's your Mother's Day

holiday.

That's.

The April May mask.

Yeah, OK, getting from the top

Stephen Wells, but best movie

car by far, the 68 Mustang from

Bullet.

You haven't seen the chase

scene.

You haven't seen the best chase

scene of all time.

That car recently sold for 3.7

million.

To make my point, the best TV

car is the original Batmobile.

Yeah, well, we kind of talked

about that.

There's like two different

realms, you know, as far as real

cars and then cars that you

wouldn't really drive around in.

Right, Right.

Oh, by the Batmobile, I'd drive

it everywhere you would as long

as it ran.

I think I have an oil leak.

Probably would by now.

Yeah, the type of car.

I don't remember what it was,

but the type of car it was made

from.

My uncle had one.

Oh yeah, yeah, international.

Well, I mean the back window was

the same, yeah, but they, you

know, they cut the front and did

the different stuff to it.

But he had the raw car that they

started with, not the IT just

happened to be the same.

Make him.

Up when he got in and he said

no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no.

Your uncle, the construction

guy.

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, he missed an opportunity

there.

Well, he has.

He's dead now, so.

He died.

A long time ago what?

Happened to the car.

I honestly don't know.

It wasn't passed down to you, I

can tell you that much.

No, he has a son and several

daughters.

Maybe he liked his nephew more.

I don't think so.

I guess not.

It's a sister my mother doesn't

talk to.

But I talked to my cousin.

That's how I found out he

passed.

Gotcha.

OK on episode 496 at Ben Rowland

6241 says Palmer might need to

check his map on which direction

West is.

So I'm guessing Kentucky's on

the other side.

Tennessee's on the other side of

Kentucky, I'm guessing is what

he referring to.

I don't, I don't think that

that's exactly what he was

referencing, but he's

referencing that.

But you're not correct in that

statement.

So at Data Cash 2004 car wise I

would have to go with the

original HB Heliki Gone in 60

seconds Eleanor.

But as that is a movie, the

legendary TV car would have to

be the brown Pontiac Firebird

from Rockford Files.

He's definitely showing his age

at that point.

Yes.

You guys even know what Rockford

Files is?

Nope.

I've heard of it.

James Garner, private detective,

OK.

Was that before too?

Was that radio or?

It was even color.

Oh, was it?

Yeah, the brown Firebird and

let's do a couple other ones

here real quick.

Some of those are funny yet.

What's that?

None of those are funny.

You're supposed to read the

funny ones.

Like.

Funny.

Ha ha, funny.

Yeah, funny.

Ha ha.

I thought he read the good ones

is what they're not.

Every single one you can find,

Yeah.

OK, well I'll give you some

funny ones then, but I want to

talk on Al Wolpe's.

OK, read his.

He said all guests were good,

but Triple G nailed it.

So if you want to vote on that,

it's still available in our post

section.

I think the Triple G is slightly

behind the Burroughs, the cigar

guys.

Oh.

When does that conclude and.

We, we'll give it to the, you

know, end of the week and then

we'll kind of review.

Guess what I'm thinking, all

right, Epicurean smokes says

Insert aggressive comments.

Oliver is best triple G spot.

Triple G spot.

Greg is also good he.

Said G Spot.

Wow.

All right, OK, Last two, the

buzz inator 19 says the Cigar

guy show is unwatchable unless

they're unless they're

interviewing a a guest.

They're actually great

interviewers but suck talking

about any subject.

On the other hand, you guys

entertain me for five hours a

week.

Palmer keeps me up to date with

all the top news and Phil makes

me laugh with all his gorilla

grunts.

Yes.

Oh, listener of the week.

Yeah, listener of the week

Miguel Rocher says.

I usually listen to the podcast

with headphones on.

When I heard the sound that

everyone has heard from Phil, I

will be rethinking that

decision.

I did want to make the last one

because I was going to bring

this up anyways.

Rosales was forgotten as host

and we never got a flight

update, right.

So yes, you didn't get a flight

update.

I'll call him right now and

we'll get that squared away.

I We couldn't count him as a

host because it can only do four

and he had done half a show.

Right, Yeah, He didn't do an

entire show.

So I felt that it was only

appropriate, not for him to get

the the chop on that.

But hey, I'm a speaker.

Phone him in, he won't answer.

It's early for him.

He's still stretching.

Jumping rope.

He still jump rope.

I don't know.

Every time I see all those jump

rope videos I think of him.

Mr. Jump Rope.

Not answering.

Told you still in bed?

It's not coffee time.

He's still in bed, no?

It's not.

See you on this.

Below, you've reached the

voicemail of my.

Is he on the Skip Martin sleep

schedule?

Now he's he does, he does what

he wants.

Now he's he's next level.

I will tell you since I can't

get him on the phone, that it

went exactly as he said he was.

He skipped the entire line of

TSA and walked right through.

Oh really?

Acted like it was nothing.

Nice.

Yeah, good for him.

That's correct.

So if you want to hear your

comment on the show, comment

below.

If it's funny enough, we'll put

it on or.

Might just put it on.

There, that's not true because I

definitely skipped a bunch

today.

Well, yeah, but the only one

that's really funny was where

Ben said, I don't know, east

from West.

The Grunting Miguel Rocha.

Well, that one was good, but he

got he got loose another week or

was that the other guy that got

loose another week?

The other guy.

The other.

Guy.

Never mind, I didn't like it.

OK, OK, and what am I

forgetting?

Oh, if you're going to the show,

if you're going to PCA New

Orleans, we want to talk with

you whether you're a retailer

that deals, that does business

with us already, a new retailer

or a media guy.

Hit the calendar link below, 2

for the retailer, one for the

ones for media and we're going

to give you a hat.

Set an appointment with us.

We want to talk about Post Anya

with you.

We're excited.

Are you excited?

I'm excited.

I'm excited.

Too.

I'm excited.

I can't wait to be there.

I think it's going to be great.

It's going to be.

We're going to have a good time

going.

To be a good show.

Yeah, we're right by the food

this year.

We're right by the.

Food.

So we'll see if it's better to

be by the food or by the

bathroom.

Last year we were right by the

bathroom.

The answer is by the bathroom.

I think you're right.

Yeah, yeah.

We're but no more won't be

shaking wet hands though as much

but.

We're kind of no man's land.

The food's all the way.

Food's right behind us.

I think we're the last booth

before the food.

Yeah, we're all the way down,

right, so.

So you go in and you take a

right and when you get smell the

burritos, you're almost there.

Like the hard part is you got to

accumulate points to get better

positioning.

I feel like we're just getting

pushed further and further.

Is that how it works?

Like, oh, you got to get the,

you got to buy ads for that to

get the points and the blah,

blah, blah.

Next year's back in Vegas again.

Oh, that's the point.

Still the you can build them.

Oh yeah, so.

I don't remember where we were

in Vegas.

Where were we?

By the food court.

It's never, it's never great.

Right.

No, no, Yeah, I can tell you

the.

Optimal space, yeah, it's never

great.

Maybe they won't build a booth

right in front of us this year

at the last minute so nobody can

find us.

Right.

You know, it's like there's

great, there's not great, not so

great.

There's Oh my God, I can't

believe I've walked this far and

I'm walking around and then

there's us.

Yeah.

And that's that's where we're

going.

To but you get the hat, so you

know, yeah, worth the walk.

We're, I mean, we're definitely

worth the walk.

Yes.

Without saying I'll throw this

at you, let's see if you catch

it.

Good job.

Couldn't even see it.

Throw this at you.

See if you catch it, he's got

his Peacock locked in.

Oh, nicely done.

It was the Randy Moss.

Nicely done.

I got a couple things to talk

about too.

I don't know when you want me to

bring them up.

What are they about and I'll see

how they fit in.

You want to wait till the middle

when you do where your video

goes you.

Ask them to tell you what.

They I know, but if he tells me

he's going to start talking

about it, is IT industry or is

it trending?

It's industry.

Stuff then wait till the middle.

It's more podcast stuff, all

right.

The video that I have I haven't

sent to you guys.

No, no, I understand, but I have

a space for it.

All right, so you want to, well,

you want to watch it all

together like huddle around.

Well, when it's time.

Is it only on your phone?

I don't have it cropped yet is

what I'm saying.

Oh, so how do we all watch it?

I can send it to you I guess.

Oh so.

All right, well, let's get in

some of the news.

Let's do this.

All right, FBI Director Kash

Patel.

Uh huh.

His e-mail got hacked.

I heard about this.

You would think the director of

the FBI would have some type of

protection or firewalls or

whatever.

They call it, yeah, kind of

embarrassing.

And it's his personal e-mail, so

it must have been his Gmail or

Hotmail or whatever it is he

has.

He obviously clicked the link

that was like.

Clicked the link somewhere.

You know, hey we this invoice is

due and said what?

And he clicked it and they got

him you.

Know I miss you?

Click here to watch me on a

video right.

Cashpatel@of.com.

Check out my profile.

Cashmoneypatel@gmail.com.

Free.

I'm the director of

fbi@gmail.com and I've ran

linked hacking group called

Handella, posted documents and

photos they claim to have stolen

from the FBI director.

Now the worst photo that they

posted is him with a cigar.

Is him smoking it?

Wow.

Look at this.

He's not even smoking it.

He's got it in both hands and

he's smelling it.

And then he leans way back in

the second photo and has it

balanced on his upper lip.

OK, let me ask you.

Yes, when he's smelling it.

Yeah.

This is what will determine for

me.

Oh, I know what you're.

Gonna if it's bad or if it's

good, was it sellout or was it

uncelled?

No sellout.

No sellout.

Does have a band but you can't

really tell what it is.

It kind of looks ashtiny but

ChatGPT says it's not for this

this reason but they can't adapt

it.

Yeah, I mean, I can't, you know,

listen, you, you FBI guys and

your legacy brands, well.

No, it's supposed to be some

type of Cuban.

The pictures are from Cuba,

supposedly in 2013.

It's.

Legal.

So they went through a lot of

photos.

Or it just hasn't been updated

in?

Could be 12 years, maybe he

doesn't use it that often

anymore, Yeah.

Out of all the photos they went

through, that was it.

Yeah, that's just it.

They're all sitting there going.

That was the look, look, look,

look.

Smokey cigar.

Yeah, look.

Release the cigar photo.

You know, get him.

I got to be honest, that's

probably one of the best things

that ever happened to Cash

Patel.

Oh, and people are talking about

him again.

No, not even that.

But like when you go and dig up

dirt and that was all you could

find.

Well, yeah, right.

Like guess.

Guess what?

That's it.

Maybe he's not a bad guy.

I don't know, maybe right.

But usually when they when

someone gets exposed for all the

bullshit that they're doing,

you're like, I knew.

It right?

They're in blackface, right?

Or they've got somebody sitting

on their lap.

Like black blackface?

I don't know man.

Well, no, that was not long ago.

There was a congressman or

senator or something who

blackfaced in Halloween and then

he got kicked out of office.

Yeah, like, I don't know about

like that, because there was a

time when it wasn't as sensitive

as it was the.

Public doesn't look at.

It right, You can't like we

can't go back in time when

something was more common or

whatever and then and then just

obliterate that guy.

I don't think that that's

appropriate.

Right, Appropriate, but it

happens.

Like if, if, if we if a cash

Patel blackface would have

popped up.

I'm like OK.

You would have been OK, but

there would have been other

people and went, oh, he needs to

be out of office.

He hates black people.

Yeah, but that wouldn't have

been true.

No, but still would have

happened.

I don't think he would have lost

office.

But the congressman a year ago,

that happened to did.

Yeah.

Was it a Dem or was it a

Republican?

Because I think the Democrats

hold that a little bit higher.

I don't remember to be honest.

Like they're not.

Think you're from College of him

and a couple of friends in

blackface.

It wasn't the Canadian guy, the

Prime Minister, who didn't lose

his job, no.

I think it was an American it.

Was a Canadian Prime Minister

who didn't lose his job.

Well, the Canadians, they don't

really know what's going on.

They don't respect it.

Oh, Mike Rosales, call me back.

Hey, Tell.

Me can't answer.

Hey, you're on the podcast.

Oh, hey, what's up?

Hey, real quick, how did your

TSA experience go when you were

leaving through Tampa to get

home?

Exactly how I said it was going

to go.

I walked, I I got to the

airport, I dropped off the car.

I took the little tram over.

I walked over to my thing.

I I scanned my barcode.

I got on the subway, went to the

gate.

Literally I was in and out

through TSA. 2 minutes, 3

minutes tops.

Did you cheat?

Did you cut the line?

I didn't have to Like literally

there was no.

There was no.

There was no.

Line.

There was nothing there.

Was like 2 people.

There was two people ahead of

me.

So it was like when words

cutting, I didn't have to, but

it was, it was super simple.

That regular TSA or the

pre-check?

Pre-check, right?

Is pre-check clear that?

Was that was that was pre

checked?

I didn't have to.

No, I didn't use.

Clear.

I mean, it was pointless.

Excellent.

Yeah.

OK, perfect.

Was there a big line in the

regular TSA?

So I, I don't, I couldn't, I

mean, honest to goodness like,

and that was kind of, that was

kind of the idea like someone,

someone might ask like, well,

why didn't you go to Tampa?

It's like, well, that's a whole

other, you know, fighting the

people that go see the mouse is

a, is a, is a completely

different animal than like Tampa

Spring Breakers, you know what I

mean?

Like, so it just made sense to

kind of like, OK, so from your

shop to to the airport, what is

that 4515 minutes more or less,

right.

So what's another, you know,

another cigar along the way?

I get there, do my stuff in the

car, you know, clean it out, do

the ashes check, you know, wipe

down.

Right.

Pull it up and then I'll see you

go.

But like I said, I mean, it was

there was no, there was no TSA

issues at all whatsoever.

There you go.

Boom.

Perfect.

Easy peasy.

OK.

What was your question, Palmer?

Was there a long line at the

regular TSA?

Was there a long line at regular

TSA?

Yeah, I mean, it was, I wouldn't

say it was a long line like out

the like back around down the

hallway and like that, but it

was probably just curious, a

solid 20 minute wait.

Maybe.

OK, so normal, nothing crazy.

Yeah, nothing crazy, nothing

crazy.

Perfect.

All right.

Well, thank, thank you for your

the ground coverage.

Of the.

Of the TSA airports of Tampa, we

appreciate you.

Well what'll be even interesting

is you'll need to talk to Skip

about his adventures through

Houston.

I have not heard but I'm

assuming because they're saying

Houston is a really bad and he

flew in yesterday.

So I'm I'm I mentioned to see

how that debacle went.

We'll call.

We'll call for an update.

Yeah, yeah.

It'll have to be later in the

afternoon.

I'm sure he's still.

Yeah, we'll, we'll review

tomorrow with him at.

The at the 1:00 take.

Care.

All right, bro.

Thanks.

There you go, Michael Rosales of

Roman Craft.

My sister-in-law yesterday at

the Saint Louis airport. 3 hours

no pre-check at Saint Louis.

No pre-check.

Took her three hours to get

through.

Just get the pre-check, keep

your shoes.

On I thought she said she had it

here, but she told my wife it

took her three hours to get

through security yesterday.

Well.

Apparently we're good to go now.

I don't know if you have that

covered.

News.

I didn't know.

I don't have it.

I didn't see any.

I know we're supposed to have

been OK, as this morning I saw

nothing, that everybody was back

to work.

Executive or you're always

supposed to be at work.

Executive order supposed to pay

everybody though.

Right.

But I only saw that he had

signed it on Friday or whatever

whenever we talked about it.

I didn't see anything this

morning.

Like all the lines are gone,

everybody's working.

There's still stories about TSA

agents, how long they have not

been paid and people getting

losing their apartments and

homes and things.

So they so they got paid or it

did not get.

Paid.

They're supposed to have gotten

paid as of this morning, but I

didn't see anything that

verified it.

Yes.

Supposedly there was a executive

order where he said pay the TSA.

He wrote it on a sticky tab.

Signed it, yeah.

And then, yeah, you did his old.

Stamped it with his official

Trump stamper.

However, I don't believe that it

fully funded DHS and paying

everybody else.

No, it was just them.

Which is kind of shitty because

like, if you're not, it goes to

show that if you're not on media

and not creating the outrage,

then you're going to get

botched, right?

Yeah, like I only heard, I only

saw one story about the coach

guard not being paid.

Right.

You know, the funny irony of all

of that is the best stories that

I always hear about are the

quiet ones where it's just the

person doing the right thing,

and then somebody caught it and

they're like, I should write

about.

That I should do this?

This is a good this is a good

piece, right, right.

So it would have been it should

have you know that that means T

money's not getting paid.

You know what I mean, right?

So.

Is T money OK?

He's not TSA but he is DHS.

OK.

Unless you're ICE because they

have an exemption where they get

paid for the next three years.

Really.

Granted.

Yes, if the if the government

shuts down, they still get paid.

Well, that's because whoever was

in charge of that whole debacle

made a good decision.

Well, they want to make sure

we're all safe.

I don't know.

I mean, checks and balances are

important buddy.

God forbid that part shuts down.

I don't like, I don't like using

government employees as

bargaining tools on either side.

I think that that is ridiculous,

ridiculous.

And I think the TSA should be

privatized.

That is a good idea, I never

thought it before till it was

mentioned.

And then you can't use it right

either side.

Like we talked about over the

weekend, they're taking money.

There's money on your flight fee

to fund them anyway, right?

So just keep it inside the

airport or or you know, have all

the airlines kick in.

Yeah, well, the airlines would

pay for it, right Then if you

had to charge more for an

additional fee or whatever,

let's do it.

Well, let's let the airport

airport pay for part of it too.

That's not how it works.

Why not?

They would just charge the

airliners.

The airport's trying to make

money.

So is the airline.

Yeah.

So they would just charge the

consumer.

Nothing is free.

Dude, I know nothing is.

Free, yeah, so.

Why can't the airport pay part

of it too?

Because, well, then the airport

would just charge the airliners

more money to do business there.

Trickle down economics.

Well, you don't think the

airline would just charge the

consumer more money?

Yeah, trickle down, there it is.

Yes, that's where the money's

coming from.

So no matter if the airport or

the airliner is going to cover.

So then what is your problem

with the airline paying for part

of it?

What's that?

What's your problem with the

airline payment part of it if

all the money's going to come

from us eventually anyway?

I don't have a problem with it.

My point is that you're saying

the same thing.

You're like, well this guy

should contribute to them like

either way.

I misunderstood what you were

saying.

Privatize.

Yeah, I think privatize would be

the way to go.

I think the whole reason why TSA

is government based anyways,

because there was a, I'm going

to say an act signed into into

Congress, but whatever it is

defense Act.

I think that's why they were in

there.

I I don't know if they can go

privatize, yeah, based off of

that, but maybe who would buy

it?

You want to know what I think?

I think you should wear that

mask all day.

No, that is amazing.

The feathers would not hold up

for your word all day.

That is beautiful.

Look at you then you know when

you're still.

Like when he shakes his head.

Like, I don't, I can't even

attack you right now with

anything you're saying.

I'm just in awe of this mask.

I think it's hilarious.

Well, I'm glad that I can be the

joke.

I I love every aspect of it and

our viewers are grateful that

you were willing to play along

with whatever myself and Mr.

Palmer decide to throw at you.

And we went through a bunch,

just so you know.

Yes, it was quite the

conversation and the trip.

I'm sure you guys did.

We had a lot of time.

I'm glad this is the one you

stopped at, huh?

Well, there were some other

options, but we had to keep in

mind the camera angles and

things.

And and the fact that you know,

you want to use your mouth to

smoke and stuff, yes, your.

Your request for the certain

conditions, so we worked in with

the variables.

We had, we operated within the

guidelines.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

I'm sure you did.

So there's that, yeah.

Like a Peacock.

Like a Peacock.

OK, anyway, now they are locking

up a Gmail where nobody can get

in.

Oh, now they're going.

To do it you.

Think at this point they just

delete it.

You know, just delete that it's

from.

Just just yeah, cash money from

the 99 two thousand at Yahoo.

Just get it out of here, right?

Yeah, just close that down.

So no this.

Problem.

You think you think it was his

cousins that did this?

Oh.

They're Iranian.

Maybe.

They could be.

If they can find it, they might

be.

Maybe tell they had the

password?

Wow.

Hey, remember when we had his

password?

Under 30 minutes we should

check.

Again.

Peanut butter Jelly time was a

password.

Peanut Jelly time.

Peanut butter Jelly time. 12

asterisk and you have to have

numbers and the symbols.

You're going to need some type

of character, some type of

special character.

Like a 00 or anything.

Yeah, no exclamation mark.

Exclamation point.

Question mark.

Square, square.

Square, square.

Hey, Dawn with the show, OK?

Now on.

Ladies on a Frontier Airline

flight.

She sits in the exit row.

We've all been in the exit row,

I would assume at some point or

another.

Not on a Frontier flight, but go

ahead.

There's an exit.

Yeah, You know, they asked that

question in the case of an

emergency, would you be willing

to help everyone get off the

plane?

And he goes, I'm just getting my

ass off this plane.

That's what this.

So then they had to make her get

up.

She didn't want to get up,

right?

There's a whole thing going on.

The police came and had to take

her off by force.

Oh.

Wow.

Frontier flights from Charlotte.

So it started Charlotte.

No one in the no one there said

listen to Sly say yes, I got

you.

Like, don't worry.

No, you have to answer yes.

Yes, you've been there.

And you know, you can't even

nod.

You have to verbally say yes.

Yeah.

That's what I'm saying.

No one looked at her and said

just say yes, don't worry, I'll

see.

She held to her.

I'm getting my ass off.

Was it the front one or the back

one?

I don't know.

This seems very odd.

And fellow pastors were pleading

with her to to board the plane

for all of their sakes.

This lady right here, when she

first got on the plane and

acknowledged the exit row, she

said, oh, I'm not going to save

anybody.

If something happens, I'm going

to save myself.

This is a perfect candidate for

Boots's next wife, you know.

Right.

I'm going to save I that then at

that point like the self

preservation becomes almost like

a feud, right?

Like who will live in this

scenario?

1st, I just offered the

reseeder.

Well then we're going to have to

move you to another scene.

Not happening, pal, not

happening.

I like the extra.

Leg room.

I paid premium for this.

I'm not doing the label.

Pay extra for the leg room, of

course.

Yeah, for the exit row.

Yeah.

Yeah, ultimately the police were

called, the entire plane was

forced to board, and then they

got the lady off the plane and

then they everybody got back on

and left it.

She was arrested.

I love this.

I just don't understand why you

have to acknowledge that you

would save everybody or whatever

it is that they make you

acknowledge.

Are you going to be a good

person and open this exit door?

And she said no.

Legal experts noted that the

exit row verbal agreement is the

only contract in aviation that

can be voided by telling the

truth.

It's like, ma'am, you don't have

to stay there and watch people

exit off the plane.

I think someone just didn't

fully explain man.

I can't even put my mask on.

You think I'm going to alone

know how to open this?

Door, that's that thing they

always have to say that it's

this.

It's like, you know, when they

read you your rights, they have

to say this verbatim.

So we'll do that.

Yeah.

In the event of an emergency,

would you be willing to help

everyone get off the plane or

some?

That's not.

But that's not what you say.

Well, I mean, you are helping

everybody get off the plane by

opening the door.

OK, well, I mean, all she had to

do was say yes.

Right.

I just think that could have

been averted by somebody saying

stating, hey, listen, here's

here's what you got to do.

All you have to do is hit that

latch and open the door.

Well, they were, but all the

other pastors were pleading with

her to, you know, to either get

up or say you'll do it.

Yeah, but again, I just feel

like.

You wanted somebody to

specifically tell her exactly

what she was required to do.

Yeah, like, hey, OK.

I mean, look, I'm the person

next to.

I'm like, OK, listen, let's

break this down.

What exactly are they asking to

do?

Plane crash?

Here's the latch.

You're going to open the door,

right?

I mean, first of all, you don't

have to worry about it because

I'm going to open the door for

you, right?

I've already deemed that you are

not going to help me in this,

and it's OK.

I will open the door and then

you're going to leave.

Is that what you want to do?

Yes.

OK, perfect.

Just say yes to them and we'll

go and we'll go on our way.

And, and that would have been

it.

Instead, it was met with, ma'am,

the requirement for yacht, I'm

willing to bet, I don't know,

but the requirement for you

doing this is you're going to

Aiden blah, blah, blah, blah,

blah, blah, blah.

Are you OK with that?

Please say yes or no.

I'm not moving.

Right.

Again, because look 0 de

escalation, 0 explanation.

This person probably never

flies.

Or, you know, like there's a

million of variables here to

consider.

Like all you have to do is say,

look, here's what we got to do,

here's what we're going to do.

Plane crashes and we live latch

has got to open up, right?

Once the latch is open up,

you're going to get out.

Are you OK with that?

Yes.

To say yes to them.

Yes.

Perfect.

All right, let's go instead.

There's a big friggin to do and

people are shouting hey, get her

off the plane, get her off the

plane, blah blah blah.

This is a problem.

And now you have a situation

that could have been easily

avoided.

That's my point.

Why can't they?

Why does it have to be a latch

on the door?

Why can't they have some type of

technology where like it blows

open like with airbags or

something?

Or it doesn't work.

What?

The plane crashes and the door

pops open?

What if you?

What if you hit water?

Here's what would happen I.

Don't want the door to open?

Then why would you open it with

a latch?

OK.

In that case, if the place was

it was automated, you want to

know what the statement would

say.

The statement would say the

emergency door exit is automated

to eject outside by itself.

However, if it fails and

malfunctions, you are required

to open it and aid everybody

else exiting.

Are you OK with doing that?

No, So it doesn't right.

So that so that doesn't help the

scenario is my point, right?

That doesn't straighten anything

out, right.

So no, that that that's not it.

Just somebody needed to explain

it.

I, I just, I think she knew what

they were saying.

I just think she didn't want to

do it.

I don't think that she knew what

she was saying because she got

off the friggin plane, man.

Like she paid for the ticket to

go somewhere, right?

Unless she didn't want to go

somewhere and she's like, you

know what?

I know how to get off of this.

However, this isn't a Delta

flight.

This is a Frontier flight.

You.

Know what I mean?

Yeah, we're talking about

something completely different.

Right, so.

Do they make you do that on a

Delta flight?

They make you do that on every.

Flight.

It's FAA regulations or whatever

it's called.

You have to agree to help get

them off.

Dude I just went to go and ash

and I ashed on my red bolt.

On purpose.

Sorry, it all goes to the same

place.

Yeah, it all goes in the same

place.

Might be really fine I'm.

Going to make that work anyways.

Not giving that up.

No, not today.

It's Monday.

It's Monday.

Even though it's Tuesday.

Well, how late were you up?

You said the when they were home

Saturday, said the Red Bull

might keep you awake.

It's about 1:00 or so.

Oh.

That's not bad.

Yeah, I passed that on outside.

Oh, on the back patio, yeah.

Oh, he went to the back patio.

Yeah, my father-in-law.

I forgot he was there.

I ate a little something, clean

up, went to bed.

Yeah, can we talk about the gas

pedals?

It's been fixed.

I mean, I drive it all the time.

Not a problem.

Maybe you or your foot moves

when you push down, I don't

know.

So yes, is that a yes?

I need a yes or no?

If not, you're going to have to

you're going to have to get off

the podcast.

I.

Don't care if we talk about.

It OK so Phil, so Palmer has

this beautiful new car.

Yes.

It's are you triple there, just

go double or just?

Me you want triple or what do

you want?

I want me got it.

OK, so Palmer has this beautiful

new car and then you can flip to

you when you respond.

Palmer has this beautiful new

car, probably the newest one in

the fleet of PO chic slash cigar

hustler, right, like the newest

one.

And we use this car to go to

Dothan, AL, which we had two

great events.

Thank you very much, Mr. Wells

for for hosting us.

When when?

Anyways, so we're driving up and

he has this issue with the pedal

and I'm like, OK, what's wrong

with your pedal?

He's like, oh, I just got to

tighten it.

What it's a It's a hold on, hold

on.

Well, no hold on.

It's not a full pedal.

Let me let let me you can defend

yourself.

I'm not defending, I'm

explaining.

So he has he has these racing

pedals that go on top of his

pedals that are like red and

kind of riveted and shiny and

very fancy for his car.

Huh.

Yeah.

Racing pedals.

Yeah, now you go to him.

Go to him.

Was it like they're just

cosmetic looking red metal

looking pedals?

Yeah.

Were they left in the comics box

trying to figure out a way to

get these pedals?

Why I ordered them online?

Yeah, why do you have the

pedals?

I said they look nice.

I saw them online.

Yeah, you want to go fast.

No, they don't make you go fast.

They just look like you could go

fast.

But they almost made you go.

Not good.

Yeah, one of them came loose on

the drive out there.

Yeah.

Oh God, I typed it.

It's just a cover.

I mean you can just take it off

with your hand.

It just says these 4 screws on

the side that have these clamps

that tighten up on the back.

So it came loose from the from

the drive.

I tried to tighten it up when we

got there with my knife and then

it came off all the way on the

way home.

Yeah, so I'm driving for the I

only drove for two hours, which

is great for me.

I've never ever driven this a

small of an amount, yes, ever

for any of this right.

So but we did agree that listen,

when it gets dark out, I will

drive.

Right.

Oh, 'cause his eyesight, you

know.

Yeah.

Well, and then it's on the way

home.

I'm tired and getting late.

So for it was just it made more

sense.

Yeah, so there's a point where

I'm hitting the gas pedal and

it's struggling to let me go

past 6 deals and like I'm going

down.

I'm like this pedal, there's

something wrong, right?

So I give it a hard push and I

feel the pedal kind of come off.

It was still on top it it just

now.

At that point, it had slid all

the way off the pedal.

Yeah.

Sitting there, yeah.

Oh God.

So would you ever buy fill a a

pedal accessory for your car?

No, I'm not Cardi B.

You're not A, you're not Cardi

B.

Yeah, I'm not.

Yeah.

I put it back on.

I like the way it looks.

Are you?

How all the all the little red

things on the knobs and

everything are extra too?

They look lovely.

How are you?

Are you often looking down at

the gas and brake pedals?

When you get in the car.

You know, there it is.

When you open the door, you can

see them.

And you needed that.

I just like the way it looks.

Yeah, right.

OK.

I don't know what the big deal

is.

I mean.

It's a little crazy.

Yeah, but it's his car.

But it's my car.

Yeah, I'll give him that.

It is your car and it's still a

little crazy.

But it's my car.

Does your wife have colored

pedals?

You know, hers comes with

apparently I was going to get

her a pair of Gray ones for her

truck because they come in Gray,

but hers already has them in

there.

She.

Already has beautiful.

It's yeah, they're.

Regular pedals.

Regular pedals, but they look

like my pedals but it's Gray.

They're not added on top of the

pedal.

Because she couldn't have put

those on, she wouldn't have

known how, right?

She doesn't do that comes out

right.

No, she has.

All her accessories in the car

are pink though.

Stairwell vent covers all the

knobs.

Do you have a Nos in your car?

No, but I did the release an

Ozium Fogger in there yesterday.

Oh, because.

It smelled like stale tobacco.

Yeah, it smelled like stale

cigar.

OK, I.

Didn't know they made the it's

like a flea bomb.

Yeah.

Yeah, I've only had the.

Yeah.

You hit it and you just leave

it.

You leave the air conditioner on

for 10 minutes and seal the car

up.

Yeah, now it smells fine again.

All right.

The Central Florida city just

had the biggest population boom

in America.

Oh.

Well, Florida's overall been a

hotspot for movers in recent

years.

Reported some troubling results

for the following county.

So which counties have the most

people moving into them?

Lake.

Which county has the most

moving?

Central Florida County.

Central Florida County Seminole.

Pinellas is number 2 Miami

Dade's number three.

Obviously not Central Florida.

Taylor.

Anyone know where Taylor is?

Taylor County?

Where's that at?

Central Florida.

That's number one nationally

for.

Population.

I don't know what it is.

It's gonna be good.

I have a question.

Well, he's, I was just repeating

what he's at.

I know where the city of Taylor

is.

All right, Monroe County is now

#4 that had the biggest

population boom.

Really.

No Lake County, huh?

Orlando Metro saw nearly 400,000

people move into during this

time, putting it in the number

10 nationwide for numeric

growth.

Interesting.

You want to know?

It's also interesting.

I think it's time for our Phil's

geography question.

Oh, do you have one?

Yeah, I can just throw one out.

That's good, because we're right

up against your video in cigar

News.

OK, perfect, Phil.

This is a thing now.

Yes, Phil's geography.

Phil C.

Phil B.

OGRAPHY, geography.

All right, Phil, today's

question is?

What state is directly north of

Oklahoma I.

Don't know if I could answer

this one.

Michigan.

That was incorrect.

Sorry, that was incorrect.

Would you like me to give you a

variable?

We don't want to do multiple

choice.

Let's get babies.

You should do multiple, multiple

choices, multiple.

Choices.

Yeah, that sounds good.

OK.

Is it Colorado?

Policeman.

Nebraska.

What are the choices?

Kansas or Missouri?

Well, Palmer said.

Maybe it's Missouri.

Is that your final answer?

I said what I said.

Police Michigan one of the

choices.

That's your final answer.

Yeah, please.

Like Vish, you can one of the

choices.

You're incorrect, Sir.

It is Kansas.

Kansas, Yes, you're popping.

That's OK.

OK, we're going to try something

different.

He thinks that's not it's in the

air.

It's in the air.

Someone's using the microwave

upstairs.

Am I still popping?

Probably triple yeah, triple G

spot.

Triple G spot something

microwaving is is warm and hot

pocket.

Yeah, peanut butter Jelly.

We're going to test the

recording from the mics to see

that.

However, you always step off the

mic and it drives me nuts.

See, I warned him before the

show.

Yeah, yeah, here, he told me.

You guys must have had a

conversation about this.

You have headphones, you should

know when like, oh, I sound far

away.

Well, sometimes I laugh and I I

back off with a mic and.

Then I told him don't back off.

Now this is you talking and then

you go like this and you're

having the conversation over

here for some reason, it's.

'Cause he laughs and goes off to

the side.

Wow.

Hey, you want to send us that

video?

I do.

Can I watch you without my

glasses?

Is that kind of video?

Well, is Greg sending thumbs

UPS?

I'm going to send you the video

via Instagram.

This is.

Instagram I have to go to.

Yeah.

Is that OK or no?

No, no, that's fine.

Which Instagram do I have to go

to?

I have several.

Which one do you want to go to?

I don't care.

Palmer.

So what comes up with Palmer?

Postonia Palmer.

Yes.

Boots, are you on?

You've got to be on here.

DJ Boots right?

There he is.

DJ Boots Entertainment.

OK, and then I'll I can edit

this and send it to you.

Afterwards, it's the Omar one.

Yes, OK.

If the Cuban government falls

this year, this is what I think

is going to happen to the cigar

industry.

Number one.

A lot of the big cigar families

that had to leave Cuba because

the government expropriated a

lot of their land and their

businesses will be going back #2

the US will definitely have a

say on how this transition

happens #3 the immense

investment that's going to

happen from overseas of players

that have been in the premium

cigar industry is going to be

massive.

What do you think would happen

if Cuba falls this year?

So we kind of really talked

about something like that, right

in the previous episode, right?

Do you think Cuba's going to

fall in 2026?

Let's start.

There, that's what I was going

to say.

Is that like a thing that could

happen that the Cuba fall?

I mean, I understand they have

no power right now.

Chinese is sending them rice,

somebody else is sending them

beans.

They have no gas.

They have no power.

But does the communist leader of

a communist country go?

I guess I fucked up.

Somebody else could go.

You know what?

You're in charge.

I'm out of here.

Yeah, I'm out of here.

There's no power of water and

I'm tired of eating rice.

Somebody get my floaty boat.

Ready so you don't think it's

it's logical to happen.

I mean, in today's world, we

could just go get him.

Right, we just.

Yeah, I mean, you know, we, I

assume they're much larger than

Cuba and an island, so, you

know.

And podcasting.

Goodbye.

You should just call her at the

beginning of every show.

Yeah.

And go look, is there anything

for the next 45 minutes to an

hour?

Yeah, Just tell me.

We can talk about it right now.

I don't.

Think it's going to matter

buddy?

Yeah, it's not going to matter.

Yeah, I'm sure.

I'm sure These things come up

right at the moment.

Oh, you know what I need to ask

Mikey.

Well, she's yeah, she it was a

father killed her mind.

She's super busy and she needed

answers.

Do you want pot roast for dinner

tonight?

Is that OK?

No chicken rice.

Chicken rice, we got to get back

to that meal prep that's.

That's lunch, buddy.

Sorry, I thought it was

breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Jackson and I didn't have it

last week.

I know you don't do the cereal

stuff anymore, so.

Yeah.

Do you think 2026 is going to be

the year that Cuba is like?

Who's even in charge down there

now?

I have no idea who what the

guy's name.

Is it's probably a Castro.

I'd say yes it is.

I don't think it is.

That.

Makes sense.

I think it's one of his, yeah.

So it's like a cousin without

the same name.

Because I don't think Castro is

the.

Name cousin without the same

name.

You know, like, you know, Fidel

Castro was in charge, but now

his nephew.

Colado.

Juan Valdez is now in charge.

Coletta.

He's Italian.

Colada.

Colada.

Oh, pina, Colada.

Yeah.

And then his his niece Pina.

Yeah, his first name is Omar,

last name Pina, little name

Colada.

Last name.

God.

Cuba is governed by a single

party author, authoritarian,

authoritarian system.

Get it with Miguel Diaz Canal

serving as the highest ranking

official.

Latio's cousin.

He is the he is the president of

Cuba.

And for the birthday party?

And the first secretary of the

Communist Party of Cuba.

Oh, so they're not really

communist now?

It's like a casual way of saying

it.

The converted, you know what I

mean.

He's the leader of the Communist

Party, but it's an authoritative

whatever thing.

Authoritarian as of early 2026,

he manages A deepening economic

crisis, with Raul Castro having

previously stepped down.

Right, that was the son.

Raul.

That's right, I didn't know who

took over after Raul.

Raul's like, I can't do this.

Raul Junior.

Did you know there's very little

power and very little fuel?

And I don't like rice.

Did you hear all this?

These people are starving.

I got to go.

I'm out of here.

I'm going to Miami.

OK, so maybe I mean.

But a nice little cigar.

Shop.

I guess it's possible that it

could happen.

I guess.

I mean, they could.

I mean, if they're going to fall

now, you'd think would be the

time where they fell, right?

Things are getting pretty bad.

Yeah, but are the people going

to rise up and fight them?

They don't seem the type.

They're very chill.

Yeah, I think all the mad ones

came to went to Miami.

Like drink, you little papi.

Everybody that was all upset

didn't like the way they're

running things.

I'm going to Miami.

They got the hell out of there.

They're like, we're at this,

this is ridiculous.

There's no food.

It's.

Ridiculous.

I don't like rice either.

And we can see these buildings

on the other side of the water.

This building, right, right.

I can see with the lights at

night over there looks.

Great.

Yeah, it looks great.

They look.

Awful happy over there.

South Miami Look, they're eating

chicken.

We got power.

Oh damn power.

It's a short swim across.

You're not going to believe.

This area put that garage door

in the water Let's get over

there the.

Garage door in the water.

Put the garage.

What's the balloons are on the

outside of it?

We'll be fine.

Listen, if we all don't make it,

it's fine, right?

Just like.

Chair run.

You gotta get your feet out of

the water.

Get your feet out of the water.

You get to stay.

Yeah, come on, Rose, let's.

Go.

I don't think it works that way.

Buddy, there's a wet foot, dry

foot rule.

Is there?

Yeah, there used to be.

I don't know if they still do it

or not, but yeah, if you get out

of the water.

Oh boy.

How do you know this first?

Of all I read it one place

somewhere.

Put in wet foot, dry foot rule.

See what you get.

Oh boy.

They catch you in the water.

They send you back.

Searching.

No, no, you're wet.

Go home.

The wet Foot, dry foot rule was

a former US immigration policy

that gave preferential treatment

to Cuban migrants.

It was officially ended on

January 12th, 2017 by the Obama

administration.

Oh, so not that long ago.

Yeah, I'm only 12 years off, or

not even 8 years off.

Wet feet Cubans intercepted at

sea were generally sent back to

Cuba or to a third country.

Dry feet Cubans who made it to

US soil were allowed to stay,

apply for work permits and

eventually seek permanent

residency under the Cuban

Adjustment Act of 1966.

Can you?

I don't know why I had the

craziest epic chase in my mind.

Just go off of a Cuban running

on water to get to the land

before the guy caught.

Dude, it was, I mean, they land

on the beach and they're all

high tailored, you know, as

close to the parking lot as you

can get where they catch you.

So think about that they're.

Like, oh oh, but I can stay.

Put that blender in the water.

Let's get there faster.

Dude, hold on, wait a second.

Think about, think about this

like you're 30 feet away from

the PAT, getting out of the

shoreline and being on the beach

or whatever, right?

Right.

And you get intercepted.

Right.

Yeah, 30 feet. 30 feet from

shore.

I think that that probably means

death as soon as they send you

back, no?

Well, or a third country, I'd

say, yeah, which I don't

understand what that is, what's

between here and there.

Well.

There's some.

Well, if you're not gonna give

me option A, which is United

States, right, and you're gonna,

and the option B is Cuba, I

don't care what option C is

'cause I know if I go back to

Option B, it's over.

Yeah, so I'm killing whoever's

in front of me.

It's like, oh, oh, you tried to

run, right?

Like that's not gonna be good

for me or my family.

Look, there's 20 more Cubans

trying to get to the land over

there.

Like, that was like, you know,

if that rule existed today,

there would be a social media

page for it.

Oh yeah.

Like Oh yeah, video like.

Right wet foot, Dry foot, who

made it?

Who's like, like the, you know,

like I know you talk about the

bright line thing like it would

be in that same premise.

Yep.

Like did they survive and make

it to US or are they going back?

Well, maybe when?

They take you back.

They don't like, you know, hand

you off to the authorities in

Cuba.

Maybe they go, OK, you got 10

feet there.

You run that way now.

Yeah, now you run that way.

I don't think it works that way.

Maybe take you to Guantanamo and

they'll let you.

OK, it's going to get dark soon.

Just sneak back in.

Seems a little.

I mean, that's a pretty creepy

rule, yeah.

Like wet foot, dry.

Foot like, here's the deal guys.

As soon as we get there, you

better get on the land.

That's what they're all talking

about on the boat.

I don't know.

I don't know if if they were

close, I'd probably be a

terrible Border Patrol person

because if they're close, I'd

like that one.

Run fast.

I feel like.

Nobody's looking.

Run like I'm going to get you.

Oh God, I fell.

Rapido, rapido, andelay andelay.

I had a teacher in high school

that was an immigrant from Cuba.

Yeah, yeah.

And he's he, I didn't know about

the wet foot, dry foot thing,

but he said that he came through

the water.

Did you ask him how he felt

about Cuba?

No, I didn't ask him any

questions.

Why not?

Because I thought it was crazy

already that he was a teacher.

Why?

Why?

Good.

I was just like.

They know stuff.

Why?

Why are you?

I don't know, I.

Thought maybe you should be in.

Heidi, maybe I was in the wrong.

Maybe I was in the wrong

obviously.

First of all.

Did you go?

Are you resting under the tree?

I just wanted to know that when

you're speaking, you're

definitely in the wrong.

It doesn't matter what is your

topic is, you're 100% in the

wrong.

So there's that.

I think it's the same time too,

when Elian Gonzalez was found.

Oh, the little boy.

Yeah, they got him in the closet

or whatever.

You have a closet.

He's.

So maybe I was like comparing

the two.

My neighbors in Eustis, when I

lived out there, they were the

children that came over on the

airplane.

They used to tell that story.

Yeah, really.

I mean, they, they saw that big

tower thing and they flew in and

they're crying.

Oh, we've been to America.

That's a big deal.

Yeah.

You know, like, how do you know

what someone has experienced in

life if you don't ask them

questions and where they feel

like, where do they stand?

Because maybe they were pro

Castro.

I don't know.

Who knows?

You know, that exists in South

Florida.

Yeah, Yeah.

Like you pro Castro people.

Oh yeah.

Well, yeah, you guys are

closest.

I don't know, Hector probably

has better answers for you on

all this.

He's more Miami knowledgeable.

Meow me but.

There are definitely.

I mean look, for every for every

opposition there is someone that

believes in the current system.

Oh, I'm sure.

I just curious why, you know, if

they he's doing a great job.

We're all doing fine, but I want

to go to Miami.

It's better over here, but I

still like that.

Guy, he's still doing a good job

back there.

Everything's fine.

You know, me leaving allows him

to do more good stuff.

Right, I'm just trying to help

him.

Right now, no rice for me.

Right now he doesn't have to

worry about feeding me right?

So yeah, you should have asked

him, man.

Not a big fan of his son though.

Raul, I don't like you.

He's like Raul, Raul.

He's not even really Cuban.

He could have told you.

He's like, man, I was, I was.

I almost fell back into the

water where they could have

intercepted me and I made it and

then I got a workers.

Well, you can imagine you're

running and you're still ankle

deep and they're like, gotcha.

Right.

No, no, no.

I was on top of the water.

Foot dry, yeah.

The other ones went no, no.

It had to be abolished because

people were probably like, I'm

not like, there was this a dumb

rule.

There had to be a dumb.

Rule.

Well, you got to make the rule

something.

Yeah, but I mean, obviously.

Automatically everybody goes

back.

Well, but listen again, you know

what?

If you're Border Patrol or Coast

Guard or whatever, like.

I mean, that's what.

What are we saying?

We got to argue about 10 feet,

Like I'm letting them in for 10

feet, you know?

There's only so much trouble.

I think by making the wet foot

Dr. Foot rule that was like a

party game or something like it,

like it should have been.

Hey, you're not allowed over

here if you make the rule right.

If you have a wet foot, you go

back home if you have a dry

foot.

Four patrol standing there on

the beach.

OK.

Everybody line up right here in

the knee deep water first five

guys that get dry right to stay

right?

Ready.

Go shit.

All right, watch this guy.

Watch Miguel.

You see him?

I got $5 on this one.

We take the best athletes.

Right.

OK, you're going to play

baseball.

Good job.

Yeah, you got the, you got the

jump thing over there to see

what their vertical is.

It's like Navy SEAL testing.

God this is horrible.

Why are we joking about this?

You're soccer, you're baseball.

We don't know what you're doing,

but as.

We're God almost.

We're because we're because it's

lighthearted comedy, I guess,

but dark humor.

You know, it's soccer, baseball.

Now we're terrible for America,

too.

You know what's funny is there

was a person on one of my

Instagram posts and you could

tell that they were upset.

They looked at a 32nd snippet of

us talking about a cigar.

It was actually from, I can't go

too far into detail because you

guys will find it, but we were

talking about a review and you

were reiterating a review from

half Wheel, right?

And you were kind of giving a

cigar praise and because it

wasn't your point of view.

Right.

It wasn't.

I didn't review it.

So this guy took it that oh,

this is his point of view and

obviously right.

Terrible cigar.

I can't believe he liked it so

much.

So.

So he wrote one question, are

any have any of you ever even

been a brick and mortar

retailers?

So I was like, like, I instantly

go this, I could take this

either way.

This guy could be, you know,

trying to us or maybe he's

legitimately asking the

question.

So then I went to his social

media page and one of his first

posts was are you going to

listen to me or are you going to

listen to some Jack Off

podcasters as what he had stated

when he was smoking a cigar.

So then I was like, OK, so not

he's not pro podcast, not us,

right?

I mean, yeah.

Was he a shop owner?

I I didn't care.

You couldn't tell.

Yeah, I'm not Jackass, buddy.

I honestly didn't care and I

didn't look.

Got you.

So I wrote back, yes, there you

go.

Yes, yes, we have brick and

mortar experience, yes, almost 2

decades at this point, but

that's not important right now,

no.

And then he asked where, ha,

where something and whatever

like I wanted.

He wanted more Intel, more

information for me at that point

as far as who we were right and

what we represented.

Watch the show.

I now he was looking at my

Instagram page that has a

profile that states some of this

Intel.

Sure.

So at that point I felt like

he's going to have to do some

leg work.

Do a little bit of.

Work in order to figure out the

validity of our statements right

are.

We in an hour.

Yeah.

We're only halfway through.

It's very look, it's very easy

to do.

I just didn't.

I mean, you know, you lose track

when you're doing the show and I

just didn't realize it done you.

Spent 30 minutes on wet foot,

dry foot.

Because you guys didn't believe

me, you had to look it up.

Have you guys ever been Border

Patrol?

Agents No.

I was going to be.

No, let's see, 2017.

I mean, I, I was here, but that

probably wasn't even important

at that point.

It must have been significant.

Oh.

Well, good thing, because you

wouldn't have made.

It in well, you know, I didn't

come.

Unless your feet were.

DRY.

I didn't come in that way.

Jesus, maybe, I don't know.

That wasn't the way I.

Don't know your complete

history?

I think you have a pretty good

idea at this point.

I'm not sure.

Yeah.

All right.

We're we done with international

whatever this looks called?

I don't know.

Did I cover all the things I

wanted to talk about?

Cigar News Let.

Me.

See.

Yeah, I.

Next Door is a good one.

Yeah, yeah.

OK it.

Better be good bomber if you

say.

It German engineered cigars

announces a coot pill like

packaging for cigars.

Oh.

So they come in so the cigar is

plastic covered and they come in

and you pop it through the back

like it's a pill.

Yeah, yes, it's like a pill.

It looks like a big pill since

it was founded in 2016.

German engineered cigars, which

we still for.

Whatever reason, we're huge fans

about these people we always

talk about, I always talk about.

Them, but we have never seen

them we.

Find them very fascinating.

They promise to bring the

technical precision and

innovation of some of the

Germany's most famous companies

to the world of handmade cigars.

Force News Release It has

developed packaging that makes a

cigar seem more like a pill.

Right.

Next month, the company will

unveil A coot.

A new a coot?

Wasn't that a character's name

from something?

I don't know a coot.

Maybe at one point.

A new 4 by 50 petite robusto

vitola for two of its lines.

The more notable part is the new

blister packaging, which is like

a first, which is likely a first

for the cigar industry.

Have you ever seen it before?

I've never seen it before.

No, but some ash definitely got

inside of my Red Bull, I can

tell you.

Everything.

I'm still drinking it.

The company worked with a German

supplier who makes pills to make

the packaging, which is often

times used in the Pharmaceutical

industry, most notably pills.

That's why we keep mentioning.

Pills.

OK, so we're putting cigars in

plastic capsules.

Is that what we're?

No, no, that's not what he's

saying.

No, no.

OK.

You know, like if you buy, let's

say, a pack of cold pills over

the counter.

Regular cold pills, right?

You know, like Nyquil.

Two of them in a thing.

They're covered with plastic.

You push them through the foil,

they pop out the back.

Now it is a petite robusto cigar

in a line of five or six and you

push them through the foil and

come out the.

Back now, if I push through that

wouldn't isn't there potential

for me to affect the integrity

of the cigar?

You're correct, I think, but you

have to be careful or.

That that's your.

That's your response.

Take a knife and make a little

cut off to one side like you're

cutting open a pack of

batteries.

You said that you would think,

but you got to be careful.

Be careful.

Well, this is German

engineering.

This.

Is German engineering?

Yeah, we look at other

industries, optimal solutions

and learn from them, said Oliver

Nichols, Co founder of German

Engineered Cigars, in a press

release.

A pharmaceutical blister is the

optimal packaging for protecting

an individual's cigar.

Sealed, portable, no humidor

required and.

I just push through and.

You push it through.

This sounds amazing.

I I don't think that.

It the picture is the picture is

very nicely done AI.

Yeah, I don't think that it

makes sense.

But yeah, here I am thinking I

need one of these so we could

put this on the show.

Right.

I wonder if Bovita had anything

to do with those.

Bovita had nothing to do with

this.

Yeah, because there's no little

tiny bovita.

Pack inside of it.

They were not concerned.

They didn't want any piece of.

This, this is German.

They don't mess with the

Germans.

Yeah, Bovita doesn't mess with.

The German?

What about boost?

Are they German?

Man Booth.

No, boost is the other.

One boost?

No, I don't believe so.

They're an audio company that

now makes little packs.

No, but I did learn that the

Krispy Kreme actually originated

from Nazi Germany.

Yeah.

Were we in the car together when

they played that?

Yeah, that's right.

That was that.

Yeah.

Apparently Krispy Kremes are

German.

Yeah, they're Nazis.

Maybe that's why they're spelled

with two KS.

Well, there used to be a.

Thing there was a thing on

Wednesdays.

There was a society on

Wednesdays, the Krispy Kreme

critters or something.

Would go together.

It was not good.

Makes a lot of sense.

Here good.

Yeah, Yep, there was some time.

He when he raised money, he

would give it to the Nazi Party.

So do we.

And this was old.

Obviously it's not current.

But so now what do we do?

Do we abolish the?

Yeah, do we now not eat?

Crispy cream donut no where

where.

Are you going to get hot

doughnuts?

Like that, Don't you?

Take away my Krispy Kreme

doughnuts, you know.

Yeah, they got hot doughnuts.

Crazy.

And the Jelly ones are good too.

Yeah.

Only the original.

Glazed ones.

Yeah, are the optimal Krispy

Kreme.

Doughnuts, I think they're all

pretty good, to be honest.

Yeah, yeah, I enjoy.

The Krispy Kreme we had

Saturday, right?

Yeah, I like the the sour cream

ones.

I didn't know.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

I.

Didn't know that was.

Wait, hold on a second on

Saturday.

You're right.

Yeah.

At the event.

Oh yeah, I know.

I it's.

Not Easter yet, yeah.

I thought him.

I know.

I caught him halfway through

when I'm like, you know, it's

only Saturday.

Yeah.

We weren't going to say

anything.

I promise not to tell Jesus.

Yeah, I'm not proud of it.

I'm not proud of it but I

watched it buddy.

Well, the worst part is he got a

second one.

Yeah, after it was made aware.

I actually made the statement of

thank you for telling me.

However, now I have to go back

and have a second crispy cream.

Done.

Yeah, you're already messed up.

Yeah, it's gonna send, send big

yeah.

In for what is it?

In for a penny and for a pound.

And for a penny.

And for a, let's.

Go wow, you're Catholic.

So then tomorrow is church day.

On Sunday, you go to the box.

Throw a couple Jacksons in

there, you know what I mean.

Good to go.

Do you have to?

Do you have to mention that?

Do you do confession every week?

No, I don't do that.

I the last time I think I

confessed.

Probably like fifth grade or

something.

Oh, but shouldn't you now that

you eat the Donuts?

No, I'm not letting.

I just did.

I confess to more people.

Yeah, but you got to tell the

priest.

But not.

Jesus, I suggest he watches the

show.

Tell Father Timmy no, don't

watch the show.

Yeah, he's.

Got yeah.

Yeah, why not?

Why not?

It's not that type of show.

What do you mean he should

embrace this?

Well, I'll be in the bus.

Now he's throwing out all those

Krispy Kreme doughnuts if he's

watching this.

He should totally be a cigar

guy, you know what I'm saying?

He should be.

If they drink the wine like I

would love that.

You know how awesome that would

be.

If he could hang out and have

cigars, we'll get the Band 1.

What's that?

Give him one.

Maybe that maybe he's waiting

for you to.

You know, I wish he would offer

me the cigar and then we could.

I don't know if he's Hispanic.

Santi Santi.

I mean, let's just say that he

is, because that was amazing.

But you know, you're right,

yeah.

Give me the cigar now.

I need to hit him up and say

hey, listen.

Why don't you come over next

Saturday?

No, we'll sit out naughty tweets

and smoke cigars.

I'm going to say I'm going to

actually, I'm going to lay, lay

down some facts and like, do you

know that tobacco is closely

aligned with the lineage and the

history of Catholicism?

Yeah, and I done it on Saturday.

And then he's going to say

something like, really?

Because you know, he has no

idea.

I'm saying, let's so look,

Christ wants you to smoke the

cigar.

He told me and I'm going to hand

him a cigar.

He told me, yeah.

You don't think those guys smoke

cigars?

He talks to you too.

You know how awesome that would

be if he did?

I'm sure they do.

Yeah, there's a couple in

Florida Cigar Club that smokes.

I know, but I need mine to do

it.

Oh, I have a rabbi that smokes

cigars in Florida.

Cigar.

Club.

He minded it 7 a day he smokes.

They're kosher cigars.

God bless that.

Rabbi, there are certain kosher

cigars.

We we went over that John

Hanukkah last year.

But I'm saying I wonder if he

smokes those.

No, no, he smokes a couple of

good ones and the rest of them

are just.

Dog walkers.

Well, you got to at 7:00 and

7:00.

Yeah, right.

You know what?

I mean, I know.

It can't just be premium after

premium. $25 cigars 7 times.

Yeah, right.

Especially on a rabbi's

Commission, you know what I'm

saying?

Like I don't.

Know what they mean?

Yeah, those Pickles only make

them so much money.

Right they'll.

Probably make more lower than

fathers, you know what I mean?

More than priests.

Maybe.

He runs an organization that

goes over and donates food in

the Middle East, but I I don't

think he's been in a while.

He's been sick lately.

It's the. 7 cigars.

Oh, that's not good.

It's not the seven cigars.

Don't you blame the cigars.

Palmer's a rabbi.

How much do they make?

I'm not a rabbi, he's a pastor.

I'm a minister.

Oh, a minister.

I feel like they're they're from

for.

Clouds What's?

Not the same thing.

What's the different?

Thing one's got curly hair, one

wears a hat.

Ministers don't make money.

They all look the same, is what

you're saying.

Everything I do does not make

money.

Right.

You know, I mean, I get that,

yeah.

But he did marry Greg.

I did marry Greg.

Did you invoice him for that or

no?

He gave me that real expensive

knife.

That was just part of the whole

thing.

Yeah, because I got that too.

You know, I think he might have

tipped me.

Yeah, I think so.

Like 50 bucks or something.

Something you know, the

handshake with the money in the.

Hand, here you go.

Hey, thanks for coming out.

Good job, Good job from triple G

job.

Triple G Good job, good job.

Well, he's Puerto Rican now, so

he doesn't sound like that.

Not anymore, no.

He did then.

Yeah, at that point he was.

That point he was still mobbed

up.

Yeah, yeah, he was.

Yeah, that was before he went in

all.

Aficionado, it's an all

Dominican blend, starting with a

Corojo seed wrapper from the

southern part of the country.

Underneath that are two binders,

1A Sumatra seed and the other

San Andreas Negro seed, both

grown in the southern part of

the Dominican Republic.

Apparently everything's from the

southern part.

The filler contains barrel aged

Habano 2000, Carojo 99, Carlolo

98, Carojo 06 and Piloto Cubano,

with the Carlolo 98 coming from

the southern part of the

Dominican Republic.

I'm glad that he actually named

all of them.

The cigars are packed in boxes

about the cigar and confirming

the accuracy of the Cigar

Aficionado report had not yet

been returned.

No one's.

Getting back to you.

Allegedly.

The idea was for Exemption was

proposed late January by Dave

Biafore and might go Oh dear.

Not Mr. after Faith.

No.

Well, several counties have

approved such variances or

considering one.

The board did not appear

interested in voting 3 to the

one against the proposal of

drafting language to create the

exemption, according to a report

by dominionpost.com.

Where we get all our West

Virginia.

News Oh, that's a good.

Point board members did not see

the merit and the variance, so

we would like to put out a

business, the cigar lounges for

the cigars.

Yeah, You know, we figured that

why would you be able to go to a

place where you can buy things

that you would smoke and then

smoke there?

We think that that is a

ridiculous statement.

And what we want is we don't

want you smoking there.

So we're not really going to

concern about specific

individuals in our population.

We're only concerned about the

individuals that don't smoke.

So no, you're not permitted to

smoke here in Monogaylea area.

Yes, they saw it as endangering

the health of the public.

How?

By letting them smoke inside the

building, because then the smoke

would be in the building.

Aladio Diaz is 73 years old this

year.

You think he smokes one cigar a

day?

They're protecting the 109,000

residents they have.

Because they all go into the

cigar store.

Yes, at one time.

Wonder how Brett Fryer feels

about this?

He's not in West Virginia.

That's a totally different

state.

Yeah, it's West of him.

Double geography fail for you

today.

He heard Virginia, I mean right.

He thankful he knew he was in

Virginia.

Yeah, that was nice.

He is in Virginia, not West

Virginia, which is not the

western side of Virginia.

It is a totally different.

But this state, this county is

in the northern corner of the

state.

However, the song, when he says

West Virginia, you know what I'm

talking about.

Country Rd.

Yeah, he's not talking about the

state.

He's actually talking about

Western Virginia.

Right.

Yeah, didn't know that.

Shenandoah.

Shenandoah.

All right, well, let's go, man.

We're running all.

Right, here we go.

We got this long episode.

We have the greatest game ever

developed for the cigar

industry.

What's the score?

Why did you go so fast, Bomber?

You messed it up.

I knew where we were going.

One more time.

We have the game, the greatest

game ever made for the cigar

industry.

What's the score?

You too good for this now?

I just want them on that.

That's perfect.

The WAVY the.

WAVY First cigar October 31st,

2013.

Charlie Minato It's a Cuban.

We don't do many Cubans here in

the show.

Is there illegal?

It is the Troya vintage.

Troya Universals pre embargo.

Oh.

Which means it's legal 75. 76.

You just guessing.

It's a Cuban cigar.

No factory wrappers.

Cuban binder, Cuba filler.

Cuba 5 and 2.

Sevenths of an inch by 38. 5 and

2 sevenths of an inch.

The vitola is universals. 5 and

it said 52/7. 52/7 inches.

Yeah, well, the wet foot lost

some of it on the way over.

They are $10 apiece.

They were released pre embargo

so there's no date they smoked

one. 65 you.

Think it's going to get that

low?

You want me to you know what

dude?

I'm just going to tell you

exactly how I feel off the jump.

I think that this cigar is

extremely old, so the flavor

profile is going to be non

existent and if we're lucky it

has a good draw, but it probably

won't.

So at that by with me just

specking on that one statement,

yeah, I think it's going to hit

that low and I'm going to go 65.

82.

First half of the cigar is

genuinely enjoyable, opening

with a mouth watering cedar

note, light saltiness and

evolving into a nuttier profile.

There are even brief flashes of

lemon zest that add some

complexity, showing that despite

it's age, the cigar still has

moments where it really shines.

65. 80, 80. 20 I didn't know if

he stopped clue #2 From the

start, the cigar shows promise

with a solid draw, firm ash, and

a surprisingly flavorful cold

draw featuring dried Raspberry,

pecans and a touch of pepper.

The aroma off the foot is

leather nuts in a slight fruit.

Adds to the expectation that

there's something good here

early on.

Drink of the Kool-aid. 65. 82.

Clue #3 Unfortunately, Oh the

experience drops off hard in the

second-half.

Burn issues like tunneling,

constant relights, and even

combustion takeover, while

bitterness and harshness build

to the point that the cigar

becomes more frustrating than

enjoyable.

By the final third IS struggles

to stay lit at all, completely

killing the experience.

Oh, you have faster than we

sure.

You're supposed to tell me these

things?

I didn't it. 65. 76.

Final thought, I had zero major

expectations going in this

review given that this was not

my first rodeo with cigars.

With his age, I was not shocked

when the cigar began smoking

well, but it was nice to smoke a

cigar that could actually be

enjoyed, even if it was only for

25 or so minutes.

We judge cigars the same way

every time, and for that the

Troy of fails.

The reality is the second-half

of the cigar was so bad there's

little there's little the first

half could do to justify it.

If for some reason you have some

pre embargo Troya universals

laying around and haven't smoked

one, I would freaky out for

curiosity's sake, not because

the example was sublime. 65. 64.

He went the right.

One yes. 60.

You know, dude, I was going to

go 62.

I didn't think he was going to

go that low.

Good for you.

Wow, I'm surprised.

I thought he was really going to

put it like, because Charlie's

pretty nice.

I just got news for you though.

7080.

I gave you that one.

I mapped out the logic on the

first clue for you, so you're

welcome.

Oh I appreciate it.

Yes, I'm still weaning tips.

I'm still the Wiener.

Listen.

A broken clock is right twice a

day.

Even a blind squirrel can find a

nut now.

That's it.

OK, Yeah.

Oh, nice, right?

I'm sorry, what was your score

for the third?

Time 87. 87.

Oh, he went up.

No, I was.

No, no, that's his first score.

75.

All right, clue #1.

Clue #1.

The cigar delivers a bold, full

flavor profile, led by a

dominant Berry sweetness backed

by layers of honey, cereal,

fruit notes, and occasional

touches of cedar and coffee.

As it progresses, more

traditional cigar flavors like

cocoa, leather and nuttiness

begin to emerge, adding some

depth to the experience. 87. 77.

Clue #2 construction is a strong

point throughout most of the

smoke.

As it is underfilled then draw's

fine.

With an excellent draw, a

consistent burn with only minor

touch ups and a solid smoke

production, overall performance

stays reliable, especially in

the 1st and final thirds, making

it an easy cigar to physically

enjoy.

Phil. 87. 77.

The overwhelming artificial

sweetness, especially the

cloying saccharine coating on

the cap, can be too much, often

masking the underlying tobacco

flavors.

Combined with occasional

bitterness and some

inconsistency between cigars, it

can make the profile feel more

one-dimensional than balanced.

They thought it was more than

one-dimensional.

Yes.

Yeah, that's what he said.

That's what he said.

I wasn't there when you smoked

it.

Yeah.

We could call him if you want.

Yeah.

Flamingo, Phil. 83. 77. 77 Yes.

Final thought, Let's get one

thing out of the way right up

front.

There was no cocoa nibs in this

profile.

I don't smoke flavored cigars on

a regular basis as I have found

the majority of them to be

overwhelming when it comes to

flavors and extremely

unbalanced.

It's overwhelming, but it gets

75 different flavors of our

regular cigar.

However.

Having said that, there have

been flavored cigars that I have

enjoyed more than I thought I

would like the Mocha and the

Drew Estate Acid 20.

Well, the Tatiana Groovy Blue

Bellicoso TAA Exclusive is not

close to the level of those

cigars certainly had some

positive attributes going for

it.

Yes, the flavored notes are

extremely aggressive,

overwhelming really in the first

third.

But as the burn line past the

halfway mark, more traditional

cigar flavors begin to become

more obvious than the profile,

with the artificial Berry

sweetness moving almost

completely to the retro hell.

This made for a much more

enjoyable second-half, but you

still have to get through the

first half.

Excuse me?

Having said all of that, the

construction all three cigars

was just short of phenomenal.

All in one cigar needed one

touch up in the first third, and

then just north of the medium

strength with nicely balanced

with the rest of the profile.

In the end, the Tatiana Groovy

Blue Bellicoso TAA Exclusive is

not going to convert me to

smoking a flavored cigar on a

regular basis, but I can't deny

there are some enjoyable

qualities about the blend in the

second-half, and that is good

enough for me.

Bump, bump, bump, bump.

All right, somebody say

something.

Something.

Anywhere in an hour and a half.

Flamingo, Phil. 80.

It's a good number.

Yes. 81.

Oh, you went the right way, 82.

82. 80.

Two, I was there.

The pressure was on.

Yeah, he didn't like it, but he

still gave it an MA.

That's crazy.

No.

He said it wasn't bad.

He's got other ones, he's like

better, but this wasn't bad.

He said it was like a scooter

cigar.

You don't want to be caught on

it, but you.

Know.

Right.

Yeah, it was decent.

I like how you said scooter, not

fat chick.

Yeah.

Well, he said scooter for a

reason. 2026, yeah, I'm getting,

you know.

Or it could be moped.

More in tune.

It would be scooter nowadays.

Yeah, yeah.

It's like an electric bicycle.

Actually.

Those are very common kids

around them, no helmets, 35

miles an hour.

Very dangerous.

Oh, there's a lot of grounds to

write them now.

Yeah, I get that.

I can get almost like a car for

$300.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, especially they got three

tickets.

And they got to go short

distance, right?

So, OK.

Anything else to add, Mr.

Palmer?

No, I have no event scheduled

other than April first.

I will be doing the online zoo

with the beer guys 911 OK which

is the two days.
