ACHP Episode 550 Richest Man

Episode Summary

Episode 550 of A Cigar Hustler's Podcast finds Mike Palmer, Mike Stepankiewicz and Phil McGuffey in their usual free-form groove — cigars, news and a lot of tangents. They open with housekeeping: the 4th of July BDP overalls pre-order officially sold out (thanks to super-fan Ken Miller buying the last two), a plug for chpod.com swag and the unfiltered Patreon show, and a batch of listener comments covering the Texas sentencing story, the brothers' matching black-t-shirt wardrobe, and Mike's brother's bicycle-and-yoga fitness routine. Mike is smoking a Mirafil on mic.

The news block digs into the 10-year anniversary of the fatal alligator attack at Walt Disney World — 414 nuisance gators removed from Disney property since 2016, Florida's 1.3 million gator population, the FWC's SNAP program and the $50-per-gator trapper bounty. From there: an update on the New World screwworm fly reports flooding the inbox, a former Air Canada captain charged with flying 900+ flights over 17 years without an airline transport pilot license, Patrick Mahomes' reworked Chiefs deal (a two-year extension worth $239 million, bringing the total to a record $504.75 million through 2033), and the escalating U.S.–Iran strikes, including downed Apache helicopters and bombed water reservoirs near Sirik.

Cigar news covers the Siglo Gold Leaf Humidor — a 50-count humidor with a "gold leaf" that contains no actual gold, MSRP $700 — and the Indian Motorcycle 120th Anniversary cigar from Phil Zanghi III, a 6x52 Toro with a Pennsylvania broadleaf wrapper over a Dominican binder, rolled at De Los Reyes in the Dominican Republic, limited to 500 boxes of 20 at $20 per cigar and debuting at Rhino Cigar Lounge by Owl Shop in Windham, New Hampshire.

The episode closes with What's the Score, guessing Charlie Minato's half-wheel review of the Stallone the Pony — a $4.95 4x58 short gordo from Las Villas Cigars in Nicaragua with an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. The review praises the construction (excellent burn, stack-of-dimes ash, big smoke) but slams the dry, bitter, grainy flavor with hints of brown mustard. Final score: 66, nailed exactly by one of the hosts on the last guess.

Transcript

-What do you think of that? -Three, two, one. -What do you think of that? -Action.

-What if I did that for your background? Welcome to a Cigar Hoster Podcast, where cigars are just the starting point. Join me, Mike Palmer, with Mike, I'm going on vacation next week, Stepan Kiewicz. I am.

And Phil, my new movie is called Banana in My Tailpipe, McGuffey. I thought I was smoking bananas. As we dive into the latest cigar industry, news, sports, current events, business, and whatever crazy stories are making headlines. Whether you're a seasoned cigar smoker or just looking for entertaining conversation, expect honest opinions, plenty of laughs, and a few unexpected detours along the way.

See, that way I covered the people that wanted the old way, and we still have the new one. Oh, that's beautiful, so you just get better over time. On today's show, welcome to the gatorist free spot on Earth. Canada's pilot requirements apparently are a little relaxed compared to America.

Oh. Patrick Holmes is now the richest man in football. Patrick at Holmes? Patrick, yeah, he's at home, but his name is Mahom.

We have upped the score with now bombing water plants in Iran, and they are not very high. We're not happy about it. I'm sure. We're not hydrated.

The desert country. Yeah, the desert country. We're bombing their water. And cigars, we have a gold leaf humidor that has no gold in it.

And a motorcycle cigar to celebrate an anniversary. Then in what's the score, we're riding that pony pony. But first, Mikey, how do we get some of that CH Pod swag that everybody is receiving at their homes? Like and subscribe.

What happened to them? There you go. Like and subscribe wherever you're viewing or listening to this show. First and foremost, most important thing.

com for all your chpod swag. I do have an announcement. Our BDP pre-orders for the 4th of July has officially closed out. Bring out the chafing.

Yep. Oh, excellent. It took one man, one man, one super fan. Greg.

To close it out. The guy that said over there? No. Oh.

The Apex listener. Oh. He bought two. Ken Miller.

Yep. There you go, Ken. Ken's the best. Ken is the best.

All of a sudden, my headphones aren't working. Uh-oh. There's an off button on it that you might have picked. Now it's like coming back.

Like the right was working and then the left was off. Are you plugged in all the way? That was super weird. Mine are fine.

You got one in your ear. Maybe it's because they bombed the water plants. Could be the water plant bombing. Maybe it could be the water plant bombing.

Yeah. So, Ken, listen, I'm going to tell you, we have the greatest listeners of this show, the greatest fans. Oh, yeah. And we are super grateful for all of you guys.

Yes. From sending in cool things. Right. From constantly listening, from commenting and interacting, and, you know, from Mike Palmer: From your purchases on the merch store, thank you very much, man, and Ken, thank you so much for closing out, I can't wait to see Palmer in the official 4th of July BDP overall.

Mike Palmer: I haven't even tried them on yet, so now I'll try them on. Mike Palmer: No, don't try them on. Mike Palmer: Yeah, no, we want this to be day of, we either want them so big that you're swimming in them, or like super tight where you can't even close it out. Mike Palmer: Yeah, that's what we're hoping for.

My wife, because she's off obviously, she's looking for stuff too, she's cleaning up stuff and finding things and she found a large t-shirt she made me put on and it fit. Oh. " Look at this. Look at this, large t-shirt.

You're not as big as you once were, you know what I mean? Yeah, apparently, yeah. Well, he's getting older. What am I, shrinking?

That's, yeah, that's what happens. Oh. You know what's funny is I sent him a picture, thanks, that looks better, I sent, we were, we were kind of rubbaging through the back end. Yeah, we were cleaning here as well.

We're making this, you know, the back end, the back area of the wholesale kind of retail online stuff is just kind of become a little overwhelming, so we started clearing through some things, and I found some pictures of him and I when we were starting the podcast together, and I was like, dude, look at how much weight you've lost from this picture, and he instantly starts attacking me. Well, what you said was, look how fat you were in this photo. That's how you said it. Okay.

What's the difference? Because one is a positive, one is a negative. How fat you are is worse than, hey, look at all the weight you've lost since then. How fat you are and how fat you were are two totally different things.

I don't think you used were. I think you meant, this is how fat you are in this photo. Not that I am fat now, but how fat I was in this photo. And you took that as an attack on your...

Well, look, we don't throw a lot of compliments back and forth around this place. So you should have taken that as a compliment. Well, I wasn't expecting it. It caught me completely off guard.

I feel like when you didn't throw something at me the other day. Hmm. And when you did the beaten puppy reaction? Right.

Ow! I'm smoking this, by the way. I don't know. I know people ask.

So here you go. Boom. You have to say what it is and most people can't. It's Mirafil.

There you go. It's Mirafil. com. Check out our Patreon, Oz Cigar Hustlers Podcast.

Where if you buy, purchase for the whole year, you're gonna get 10% off. But hurry up and bye. We said some really good stuff on the last one. That's probably my favorite show.

Patreon? Yeah. It's the hardest, but yeah, it's my favorite too. Yeah.

Well, it's because we're completely unfiltered. Well, right. Well, not like we're that filtered here, but it's harder to come up with information for that show. I mean, we can only swear five times on the show.

Not even four. It's four, don't go five. Five, I gotta check the box. And now I'm picking stories where I know if I read this, I have to check a box so I don't do it, but please go ahead.

Ruckus Unchained. Hello, Sharon. Mikey Mom. Said, I know you're hiding those SBC Segundos.

Okay, I'm starting to think I might know who this is. Is that Greg or Steve? No. I'm starting to think I might know who this is.

Yeah? Yeah, I'm gonna start trying to piece this together. Does he live in another country? No, no, no, no, no.

And I think that we talk often. So we'll see. Brett Mercurio says, "I've noticed Triple G's SBC Daily. It's good to be king.

" Yes, a couple things here. Number one, he is not king. He is not king. No, no, he's not king.

He is not king. No, no. But, yeah, it's good to reap the benefits of the king, I can tell you that much, without kids and all of these other things and life, like the rest of us get to experience. BW Racing properly states here: King Master Chief Ginger almost hit the ginger snapping point.

Laugh out loud. Yes, I think that that was where the power thing happened and you didn't do it and I didn't get to hit it at the right time. - The sparklers? - My sparklers, yeah.

David Hasselhoffman says: "I think the time matches the punishment. The other kid got a life sentence, so not seeing his family again, never getting married, never having a kid, and many things between. If he gets parole in 15 years, he'll be 32-ish. " Listen, I can't argue with anything you're saying, right, like that's, look, here's what I love about the community that's on this page, at least for the most part, is we can have conversations, we can disagree on things and perspectives, but the reality is that I don't want somebody to agree with me all the time, I want to be challenged and have, and think, and actually think about what someone else's perspective is to consider it, and yeah, this is a hard one, man, and that's why it's always becomes a hot topic, and it becomes, It's touchy and people get sensitive about it, and I think at the end of the day, there really is no right answer one way or the other.

The fact of the matter is, man, I feel for both families, it sucks, it sucks the way that it all happened, and man, I just wish that somebody was there to stop it and be there for these, for both these kids, right? So... Oh, I'm guessing, I wasn't here for this, but I'm guessing you guys are talking about the Texas thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

At Jace 1911, Ruckus Unchained, have the boys always dressed as twins? What you would think Sharon would know. Yeah. No.

So, you know, here's the thing. Here's what I'm going to tell you about my brother. I love him to death. He has a tendency to cramp my style on things.

You know, tell me I'm wrong. No. He likes to add his own stuff. Like, I'm not, I'm not about the accessories.

He's a maximum accessory. I agree. You wear blue socks? What?

No, and I'm not blue socks. However, when he sees that I'm doing something that he's like, oh, that looks like a good idea, he parlays, right? So, years ago, I dropped into the, hey, black t-shirt, keep it simple, just keep it moving. And then, all of a sudden, we find him in constant black t-shirts.

So, that has always been part of my life. Our friends used to joke back in the day that for the first two and a half years of him being bored, he just banged his head up against the wall because he didn't know what to do until I got there. But we love them all the same. So, and, uh...

Did you do yoga in your underwear as well? No. Oh, okay. I was just trying to see where the lines are.

Has that stuck though? Oh yeah, ask Palmer. He didn't do it on the last trip. Oh, no?

No. I thought you said he did. We were all deathly ill though, so... Yeah, I think that he's, he's stopped that.

He's grown out of it? He gave up the yoga. He's grown out of it. I think that that's his way of exercising.

Now he doesn't care. Well, he used to have a bicycle with a basket, remember? Yeah. I think he still has the bicycle.

Does he? Does he use it as a question? We'll have to ask. I don't know if he still goes on rides or not.

I mean, he's going to be on the show again. We'll have to remember to ask that question. Okay. His fitness regimen?

Yeah. I'll find out. If you want to hear your comment read aloud on the show, just simply comment below, and there's potential for it to be read out loud. On with the show?

On with the show. On with the show. Now the news. Wildlife trappers have captured and removed at least, how many alligators do you think they've removed?

This is the anniversary, I'm sorry, of the little boy that died at Disney World by the alligator attack. In the lake, yeah. Yeah, the lake. So from the lake, the removing from the lake in Magic Kingdom?

Yes, yes. How many have they removed in the, since the kid was killed by the alligator? Let me see. That was a tough year.

That was Pulse. That was like, it all happened in the same weekend that there was a singer who got shot in front of a nightclub here by like an obsessed fan. There was the Gator thing and Pulse all happened in the same weekend. So was that five years ago?

Ten. Ten years ago. Ten years ago for the kid. So how many alligators have they removed in the last 10 years from Disney property?

Phil? Now that they're obviously a little more vigilant. I know there was a lot of gators in that water, so let's go with 50. That's way higher than that.

I'm going to say close to 1,000. 414 nuisance alligators from Walt Disney property since the toddler was killed by an alligator in Disney Resort. The Disney Resort 10 years ago. I win.

You said 50. Yeah, I was closer. He said 1,000. I guess he was.

Oh, I guess technically he was, wasn't he? Over the eight years prior to the child's death, state contracted, wildlife trappers removed an average of 23 alligators. So there's much more after, I guess. I guess the word's out, the good food or something, I don't know, it seems weird.

They're probably baiting them and pulling them out. Yeah. Could be. I mean, you have to assume, as a Floridian, any body of water has a lot of alligators in it.

Right. Yeah, you don't go into any fresh water, you always assume there's an alligator. In 2016, the year of the fatal attack, 83 alligators were removed from the resort. The following years, 57 alligators were captured.

From 2018 to 2025, an average of 36 alligators were removed from Disney property every year. 35 every year? 35 every year between 2018 and 2025. So they would remove like two a month.

I was assuming they did like 10 a month or 8 a month. Keeping with our strong commitment to safety, we continue to reinforce procedures related to reporting, sightings, and interactions with wildlife and work closely with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to remove or relocate certain wildlife from our property in accordance with state regulations, a Walt Disney World spokesman told News 6. To address complaints about potentially dangerous alligators, FWC administers a Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program, or SNAP. The goal of SNAP is to proactively address alligator threats in developing areas where conserving alligators in areas where they naturally occur.

There's a long list of things to look for. There's an FWC hotline. More than 8,700 alligators that pose a threat to people, pets, or property were captured statewide under the program in 2024. They were all released in Lake, what's that one over there?

Lake Jessup. Lake Jessup, yeah. Lake Jessup's got a real bad algae bloom right now, so maybe the alligators are moving around a little bit. State pays trappers $50 per alligator that is caught.

The FWC says it does not relocate nuisance alligators. They terminate them. Right, because they usually just end up back where they started from, so they let them kill them. Many trappers euthanize the nuisance alligators.

The Capture and Sell, Authorized to Sell the Meat, and Hide for Additional Profit. - Yeah, I mean, 50 bucks is-- - 50 bucks isn't a whole lot, but I mean-- - As Kendrick Lamar says, it's not enough. Like, that's not close. 3 million alligators.

- That's a lot. - That's a lot of gators. - Who counted all those? One.

- The FWC SNAP program. - Two. - Right, ah, he moved. One, um, Disney World officials eventually began to, oh, they used to allow swimming when Disney opened.

Yeah. Yeah, they used to have a lake, a water park there. Yeah. Yeah, there was a water park in the lake, but you, I don't think you actually swam in the lake, it was River Country Safari or whatever.

No, no. River Country or something. No, you, you, it slid into the lake. Oh, did it really?

Yeah, because somebody died, they got the bacteria. Oh, that's right, they got the bacteria. Yeah, whatever that was. What was that?

Amoeba. The amoeba. The brain-eating amoeba. Phil's on.

Did you have a pink drink from Dunkin' today? No. We should get those one day. I want to have them.

Oh, yeah. They're good. Before they're gone. Before they're all out.

I'm getting a lot of screwfly information from everyone. Thank you very much. We can stop with the screwfly. No more screwfly.

No more screwfly. Screwfly's serious. We get it. And they're trying the male screwflies with no penises thing and sending those everywhere, and I get it.

And Ben, thank you for the constant screwfly. He's concerned. I, I, yes. It directly affects him.

He's very, yes, he is. Well, they're eating people too now, so, and now they have found three. They found three screwflies? Three screwflies in Texas.

You know how hard it is to find three screwflies in an entire state? I imagine you find a fly with a hole in it. Is that what it is? Well, from the last video that I was sent, the female screwfly finds a cow with an open sore, lands on the open sore, lays all her eggs inside the open sore, and then when the larvae hatch, they don't go up, they go down, and they start eating the animal from the inside out.

Hence, the screwfly. Hence, the screwfly, yes. It's like alien. I like how you watched the whole video.

No, I just watched that part, and I was like, I've seen enough, I don't need to know how far these things go. I know more about screwflies than I ever thought I would though. Yeah. All right, moving on.

In Canada. Wait, before we move on. Oh, sorry. Like what animal eats alligators?

People. That's it, right? That's it. That's why there's...

Top of the food chain. Apex Predator. They're up there, right? Are they?

I don't know. Let's find that out because I thought there was something else that ate them. Well, they'll fight with the Burmese pythons in the Everglades that aren't supposed to be there, but... They aren't supposed to.

But we've been fixing that with the possums. Yeah, we tracked the possums. We've been C4-ing the possums. We put trackers on the possums, they eat the possums, we find the snakes.

They eat the trackers. So only humans are the predator for them. That's what I said. But when they're babies, then there's a lot of other things.

So you gotta get them when they're small. - Do you think that we kill off enough of these things on an annual basis? - No. - Well, they were endangered until we protected them.

3 million. - They were endangered? - Yes, they were originally endangered back in the '60s. - Really?

- The American Alligator. - The American Alligator. - Ugh. 3 million.

- We should have wiped them when we had the chance. - No, no, no, you can't kill them off. - Now they're stronger. - Oh, now they're stronger, they're bigger.

- Now they're coming after us. - Right, now they're organized and they're gonna start revolting. - Yeah. I think they should just do like how the Everglades does with the snakes.

Just have an open hunting? Yeah, like for a certain period of time, right? Well, there is a hunting season. We covered that one episode.

Oh, okay. There's two different permits you can get. You can get the permit where you can only hunt in a certain area on a certain day, or you can get the Mac Daddy permit where you can get them anywhere you want. If you wiped out an alligator, do you think somebody's reporting you?

Oh, if you like poached one? Yeah, I guess it depends on who sees you. Popped it, you know what I mean? Yeah.

I'm sure there's, that's why there's Fish and Wildlife, I'm sure there's, well there's, I imagine, Tattletales out there with those. There's a vine or something. You're not going to strap it to your hood and drive down I-4 and hope nobody says anything. Yeah, but like, if I lived on a lake, you know, and Bill, in his infinite redneck ways or whatever, Was the guy with, you know, the whole shebang.

He's got the pickup truck, whatever. Right. He's got red, white, and blue overalls. Oh, nice.

And, you know, he's got the pontoon boat. Right. He's out there, and he sees a gator in the lake, and then I see him toting it back where he took care of it. Right.

I'm not reporting him. No, I'm not calling him in. I'm glad he's gone. Right.

If I lived on a lake and it was in my yard, I'd probably find some way to pop it. I mean, I've got dogs and a wife. You know, things go down by the water. Yeah.

I don't have to worry about that. No. Wipes outside in the backyard having a cigar, next thing you know an alligator's got her leg. Right?

No. Is it palm or palm? I think it is. Am I popping?

You were, just then and there. Oh. Want me to reset? Yeah, reset.

I don't hear it in mine. Isn't that weird? Da-la-la-la-la. Hello, hello?

That's better. Better? Is it better or is it gone? Oh, there it was.

No, it's doing it again now. Crap, I got to mark these so you get the bad one. Wow. Where's your phone?

Oh. We had zero popping yesterday. Yep, no popping. Either show.

Oh, by the way, I did notice, and thank you for the viewer that brought this to our attention, I saw that there was a video where we were talking and you put the video up on it. I mean, on it. Like before we got to the video view. Right.

You know what I'm talking about? It was the robot that kicked the kid. Oh, did it end up on it twice for some reason? Yeah, you played it earlier on.

Oh. Mm-hmm. I know how that happened. Okay.

Maybe we do better? Maybe we do better on that one. Well, when you go to put the video up, if you don't have the, you know when you do it, you have the white marker that shows where you're at? Mm-hmm.

If you don't have it right where you want the video, it'll put it wherever it is. - Right. - So if it's, you know, way up here, way back here. " and then didn't see it.

- Just left it. - Well, I didn't see it and didn't remember doing it or something, who knows. - Yeah. - Sometimes things happen when you're editing and you get up and leave or whatever, so.

My apologies. - Mm, okay. - The problem with removing alligators is like the neighborhood I had before, there was houses on the lake, you have to get a permit, The trapper does for every piece of property, or he can only take it from the one that he has it for. Oh, that's silly.

Yeah, I know, that's stupid. So if there's nine houses around the lake, he's got to get nine permits. Right. Because they give it to you for the location, which is what we talked about when the different permits were available.

Does the permit cost money? It's got to. It's got to be something, yeah. Hopefully it's not more than 50 bucks, because that's all you're getting.

- Yeah, well, it's gotta be less than that. - Yeah. - Or maybe for him, maybe he's a different rated, where he still has to get it, but maybe it's minimal charge. - I'm a trapper.

- Right, I do this for a living, call me the trapper man. - I'm the gator trapper. - I'm the gator trapper. - Okay, moving on.

- All right, moving on. All right, now we're going to Canada, international news. A former Air Canada pilot faces criminal charges. Why?

I like this part of the thing where you guys have to guess. - Negligence. Phil? He was smoking cigars in the front of his house.

Oh, there it is. Oh, there it is. No, that's apparently only a graduation somewhere. For flying tens of thousands of passengers for nearly 17 years with a fake pilot's license.

Oh yeah, I heard about this guy. Legend. Canadian police announced Tuesday Jeffrey Wall was arrested June 1st after investigators say he captained over 900 domestic and international flights I love this guy. Well, so if you read through the story, which is kind of long and drawn out, it's not that he wasn't a pilot, it's that they require a specific license for a, um, he had a commercial license, but he didn't have like a commercial license with a passenger rider on it or something.

Some technicality. So over-regulation is what you're saying? Right, yes. They, uh, he rose to the position with a passenger rider on it or something, some technicality.

So over-regulation is what you're saying? Right, yes. 75 in US. Or six bucks.

Salary. Actually, it's 2 million, so you do better in Canada, you get 3 million. So in a random check of his credentials, they found out he's not supposed to fly people. This guy's not here.

This guy's not a pilot. Really? Did he hurt anybody? Nope, never had any problems.

Did he crash? Never crashed a plane? Nope, never crashed a plane. Nope.

And we're just gonna, we're gonna go after this guy on a... Technicality. On a technicality. Because he can't fly people.

You know how those Canadians are. They're sticklers about their paperwork. Uh, what he didn't possess, an airline transport pilot license for aeroplanes is what he didn't have. But he had a commercial pilot's license to fly at the beginning.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, hold on. The Aero Pilot Yada... The ATPL-A.

You don't have the ATPL-A? What are you doing here, bro? What are you doing? Wow.

In 2009, they promoted him to captain, and he just never bothered to get the paper. Mmm. Said it's similar to a doctor who has a license to practice medicine, but he's doing brain surgery. I don't think it's really the same thing.

He's still flying the same airplane, just has people in it. Yeah, I don't know. What are we doing? Well, there's no boxes anymore?

Ah, it's fine. What's the difference? It's fine. Oh, see, we believe the accused misrepresented his qualification to both his employer and the regulator.

Now, they promoted him. I mean, didn't anybody check before they promoted him? " Nobody mentioned anything else. Right, already mentioned the A-P-T-L-A.

Yeah. Oh. He was caught after a routine examination of his credentials in 2025, revealed anomalies, but then the pilot-licensed documentation and aired Canada-notified regulators, investigation. So he's even retired now, too.

And then they went for him. Right. Canada. You know what, this is why you're not worthy of being the 51st state, 'cause you're a hot mess.

They've always been a hot mess. " Maybe he won't even be a Canadian, then. Maybe he will come to America. Yeah, or maybe...

Come here and fly. Maybe we take them. Yeah, and own a McDowell's. Let's shut off their water.

Ooh. What will they do? We're big on that. What are you gonna do?

So he faces seven criminal charges, including fraud, over $5,000, two counts of uttering forged documents, so he just told them apparently that he had it. Right. And three counts of possession of a counterfeit mark. Oh, so maybe he went to a little extra trouble.

He's inspected to appear in court June 29, 2026. What's the punishment for this? Oh, I'm sure it's bad. How bad could it be?

It's Canada. Well, you're dealing with the FAA, right? No, this is not America. At the best, it's a CAA.

Doesn't the, what? FAA is the Federal Aviation and Aeronautics. That's a US government organization. They're not in charge of the world.

Oh, I thought it was an international. It's not flight? No. No, it's not flight.

It's federal. Okay. Federal. That's who Team Money worked for, the FAA.

Oh, yeah? Federal agent at the FAA. He's in charge of planes. He's in charge of planes.

Nice. You're in charge of planes. I did get a nasty text from the other show. The Transport Canada Civil Aviation, the TCCA.

Oh, they have more letters. Serves as the Canadian equivalent of the FAA. Okay. They have more letters.

One more. Just one more. Anything with planes we have seen is not a good thing. In Canada?

And anywhere. Just one more. Just one more letter than the Americans, and we should be fine. It was a Chinese plane, they're just down in the ocean.

They never see that guy again. Yeah, never see him again. They just shoot it down. We know what happened.

Allegedly. He gone now. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Want to buy spare parts? Want to use number on plane? We recycle numbers. No number.

No number on plane. Okay. All right, next. All right, the Chiefs are adding two years to Patrick Mahomes' contract and a reworked contract that ties him to Kansas City through 2033.

How old will he be? That's another 10 years. Will he still be able to play football at that point? No, he'll be the coach.

Ah. Yeah. Look, man, I don't know what they're doing. Has this guy ever played anywhere else?

He's never played anywhere else, and that's going to make him pretty old, and he's already got a bunch of injuries. Yeah, he's coming back from a knee injury. They're hoping for good things. 75 million and see if his knee worked.

Another one? So how much is his extension? Two years. Or 10 years.

10 years. So he gave him another, so they locked him in for 20 years? Yes. 75 billion.

There's no way. Half a billion dollars. That was his first contract was half a billion. I think, I think the extension was just for a total of 10 years, so however many years are left on the contract.

Oh, so they just, so he's been playing there for six. His first contract was for half a billion? Yeah, well, after his rookie contract, yeah. So he just got another contract for another half a billion?

So they extended it and probably said, all right, we're going to bring you back up to another, to that total number. 75. So, you know, he makes, he made 50 million a year for, you know, for the first amount of years or whatever, something like that? 50 million dollars a year.

Okay, so it's a, it's a two-year extension. Oh, okay. Oh, so from 31 to 33? Yeah, so it was just an add-on, which probably totals for 10 years, total on contract, but it's bringing it to 504 million.

So it's up two now, 504. So they kind of kept it the same, it sounds like to me. They're still making the 50 million, and they just gave them an extra two? 50 million dollars a year.

Yeah, but listen, with inflation right now, does that even cover that? I think I could make it work. I think they got them on discount, is what it sounds like. I'll play for half.

You'll play for half? I'll play for 25 million. They can throw me in front of anybody they want for 25 million dollars a year. I will be just a tackling dummy.

I mean, I wouldn't sign that guy for more than two years anyways, with the type of injuries that he has. Right. Who knows, the next time he blows his knee, he's gone. Right, is a blown knee as big a deal as it used to be?

Well, they recover, you know, like, we're talking about like ACLs and stuff like that. Right, I mean, that used to be like a career-ending injury back in the day, I thought. Yeah, yeah, it used to be, but, you know, technology is different. A lot of these guys are recovering quicker.

Now the data's not out on if it's lasting. Yeah, I mean, they whipped him into surgery the day after he blew it. Right. They don't waste any time anymore.

No, but I mean, we'll see. Did you get his nod? Did you get his nod on camera? He's nodding.

When we get close to once to score, I will text you and you tell me what the number is. Oh, sorry. No, here's what's happening. Here's what's happening.

With my homes or what's going on in your phone? On my phone. Oh. I'm redoing the site.

Yes. All right, we had a site issue and that just made me say, hey, you know what, I'm going to scrub this whole thing and I'm going to build it ground up and I want it specifically to do these things. Okay. And I want it to be the greatest experience that anybody can have when it comes to sites, not saying what it is, right?

" But it sounds like he is way more versed in this realm, and you know, so I'm intrigued to hear his back and forth. Is it the part about the ring girls that I suggested? Where when you click to another thing, a girl pops up and goes, "Broadly" for the sign? Yeah, that's exactly what you said.

Is that the same thing? Yeah, same concept. Perfect. Perfect.

It's amazing. I don't know, like, I showed you guys an update today. Yeah. And that was pretty cool.

Right. That was pretty cool. " And then when they say that, you're like, "Yeah, you're right. That would be cool.

That would be good. " So, yeah, I'm really excited about it. It's been keeping me up till two or three o'clock in the morning every night, just cranking away and working on developing this thing. So, God willing, it'll be up in Nice.

Okay. I mean, you were giving me a hard time. No, no, I just, if that was the end of your story, yes. Yeah, Patrick Mahomes is never going to win another Super Bowl.

How's that sound? Oh, why is that? Because, why, Phil? He's just, he's done.

He's all, injuries, so it's not going to happen. And the team's pretty much falling apart anyways, at this point. They've been trying to hold it together for years. Travis Kelsey's got to go.

When he walks away, when you start to revamp your offense, they haven't found a receiver, in my opinion, that's, they should have went for Evans, that's what they should have did. Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't. You know, that veteran deep threat, and develop around that. But, look, he's probably, you know, he's the highest paid quarterback, and he is because everybody buys his jersey, but they're probably overpaid.

So, anyways, moving on. Uh, it says the additional years is worth $239 million. Yep. Wow.

Uh, beginning in 2027, when the new money begins, the deal averages $64 million per year, setting an NFL record for average annual value. Yeah. Yeah, he's the first, first, uh, player ever to be over half a billion. Yeah, meanwhile, we can't work out a deal with Baker and Tampa.

That was a team that was doing so well, and then I don't know what happened. Well, they heard you give up your seats, now they don't care anymore. That was prior to. Well, yeah, but they heard.

Well, when Liam Cohen left, and he did it dirty, he did it dirty, that means, you know, there's something else that's going on there. Hmm. Possibly. Mm-hmm.

So, carry on? All right, a war update, it's not over. Oh, I thought it was over again. No, no, no, it's not over.

They're not calling it a war anymore. I don't know what they're calling it, but it's not done. The intervention? We're still bombing.

The Iranian intervention? Who knows? S. launched waves of attacks starting late on Tuesday following the downing of a helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz.

Uh-oh. S. described the attack as self-defense strikes, so they shot a helicopter, an Apache helicopter. They shot ours?

Yeah, they shot an Apache down. They're not saying how, two pilots, they're safe, we have them, it's not a big deal. But we launched... How much does that Apache cost?

A lot. Less than a water treatment plant? I don't think so. Probably not, yeah.

Probably not, yeah. Them helicopters are well over a hundred million dollars. Are they? Yeah.

Damn. That's two years of Patrick Mahomes throwing a football. Just to kind of weigh that out. Because we get a lot of messages on your, um, that the refs make a million dollars a game is not correct.

For the finals. No, but no, $20,000 is what people said. Look it up. They did, apparently, I don't know, I'm just telling you what they said, I don't know, this is a sport.

Anyway, and a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression, well, an official, what? The base flyaway costs for an effect, so you can buy one with the roll-up windows? Oh, oh. And that one's roughly $35 to $50 million.

Yeah. Do you think they have those? What is a used one called it? A lot of miles on this guy.

Right, it could have been a lot of miles. Yeah, the military buys the base model. They had to fly it over there and everything. S.

Defense Security Cooperation Agency, the price routinely jumps to $100 to $125 million per unit. Well, yeah. So that's when we sell to others. Why are we selling our good shit to other people?

I could think of about a hundred to a hundred and twenty-five million reasons why. Yes, we don't sell them to bad guys though, do we? Of course we do. They're like a list of no sell to people?

Have you ever seen Lord of War? Yeah. That's the whole reason. That's a good movie.

Got to keep the economy moving. It's a true story. S. inquiry into what caused the helicopter to crash is yet to be concluded.

S. President Donald Trump, not the buffalo, quickly blamed Iran, which he said had deliberately shot it down. I have just been informed by our great military that the last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved.

Both are safe and uninjured, Trump wrote on a social media. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack. , which hit targets including Sirik, Jask, Manuk, Quizum Island, Quizum Island, and the port of Bandar Abbas, had caused major damage to telecommunications towers in the town of Sirik and destroyed two water reservoirs there. No more water.

Done. That's not good. Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. S.

set this precedent, not Iran, Arachi wrote in an expo. Oh, they're on TikTok. They're over there on X. Oh, look at them tweeting away.

Somebody said we up the ante now. Oh, they're attacking water plants. Fine. What are they gonna do, attack our water plants or what are we over here?

I don't know. Oh, you know, the scary part is, like, do they have nukes? They do not. Well, isn't that what started this eventually one time?

They wouldn't let us in to look and see if they had nukes? Yeah. Supposedly, they do not have nukes. I'm sure our government has been watching this and looking for that type of stuff.

Right, I saw Maverick. Mike, they took those out. Oh yeah. And I ran.

Aren't they coming out with the Top Gun 3 or something? I have heard Rose. Supposedly. He's very excited.

Yeah. He's getting a little old to be a pilot, isn't he? What? You have to fly a plane.

He's Tom Cruise. Yeah. Yeah, but I thought he retired at the end of the last movie. He's like the next Chuck Norris.

Jason Bourne went on for like 20 years, man. Jason Bourne can still happen. I like Jason Bourne. Not the weird one they threw in in the middle when they couldn't get him to do a movie.

Let's get him to do a movie, the regular guy. Top Gun 3 is officially in development as of June 2026. He's got a cane and a walker, and now Rooster is now the star. Hey Michael, am I supposed to ask you if you have a video?

No, no, don't. All right, Cigar News! See, I'm not supposed to ask, Phil, but he had one yesterday, so... But I mentioned it to you prior, too.

" Yeah, but I mean, you might have, I mean, maybe somebody said you won again. That's fair, but I probably would have mentioned it. All right. But I appreciate it.

I mean, I'm good either way. All right. Charlie Monado sent in yesterday's video, Phil. Oh, great.

Which means he's a listener, because he knows we do videos. What was the video? " No more lacrosse. No more lacrosse.

They were in the semifinals and they had to fight. Oh, they violated, yeah. Yeah. But they weren't really cigars.

The dad went to a cigar shop, hired a tobacconist to teach him how to make a cigar, and he made it out of bananas. Out of banana leaves. That's still bananas. " Oh.

There'll be a lot of banana stuff going on. Yeah, with Phil. "Dead Inside Me" was the best one, though. And the poster.

The poster. I mean, and the poster for a banana in my tailpipe. Oh. Phil McGuffey stars in Banana and Mateo, but you like that better.

Well, it's a line from a movie. Yeah? Beverly Hills Cop? Yep.

Never heard of it. Oh, wow. Axel Foley? Should go back and watch it.

Not like Den of Thieves 2? Because I'm not watching that. I did watch it. It was good.

I mean, it wasn't great, but it was good. But break it up over a couple of days. No, it's not happening. Dude, at this point, I couldn't even tell you when I've watched...

watched an actual movie at where where i'm currently at like well you're very busy the like this building that like and that i've i've always been kind of wrapped up and now i'm developing this whole site so it's like the finals are going on in the background i don't know i don't understand how san antonio jacked that up oh i heard about that they were They're ahead by 30 or something, and they still lost. Yeah. Yeah. Right.

Well, I don't know, there's a bunch of different theories. Yeah, what you got? Well, if you're up by one. You can go to you, Princess.

If you're up by one, and you get a steal at the end, why do you go for a layup when the time's, you know, six seconds left? Why won't you just run out the clock, make them foul you? Cause that's what Fox did, Fox went for a layup, off the steal, and they're up by one. Bad decision?

Yeah, I mean, or, paid, Adam Silver was there. Oh, conspiracies. So the other, the team that was behind by 30 came back and won by one basket? Yep, the next.

Oh wow. Wild. Yeah. Crazy, crazy game.

Crazy. Is that a sweep now? I was thinking it's going to seven. After that, gentlemen sweep?

No, it's going to seven. You still think it's going to seven? Yeah. Okay.

They need the money. Yeah. If we're going to go conspiracy, they need the money. They want to play as many games as possible.

Well, it's going back to San Antonio now, right? Yep. San Antonio next, and it's one and one now. So San Antonio, then they come back to New York.

Everybody gets money that way. Yeah. Yep. Well, it's just like hockey right now.

Stanley Cup, it's tied up 2-2. I just don't know if I would be okay with having it in New York anymore after what I've seen. You saw what they did last night? Somebody threw an egg at Wemby.

Yeah. Last night, they smashed all the taxis. Yeah, like... The checkered cabs?

Yeah, like, how are you guys all gonna get home? It's not like you have cars. Wow. Right.

Good point. Right. There was this kid on top of the taxi, there was like 20 of them on top of this taxi, and this This kid took his belt off like he was freaking, what's his name? Indiana Jones?

No, he took his belt off and started whipping the windshield like he was, uh, uh, Phil in his new movie? No, what's his name? Supporting University of Miami. I don't know.

Supporting University of Miami? Yeah, he played football. Uh, Michael Irvin? That guy he likes.

Wasn't Michael Irvin the one doing the belt thing? I don't remember. Or he's whooping people? Oh, really?

Yeah. Uh, that's what, that's, dude, I don't know. I don't know, like there's no, and you know what's funny is you see this stuff and then you see like this little sea of cops just kind of hanging out together while all the chaos is going on around them, some of the videos I've seen, I'm like, what is going on here? Well, you're not, if you're not a riot, have like riot shells and stuff, you're not supposed to approach.

You could die easily, just start tear gassing them and get them out of there. I mean, I agree, but there's a way to handle that. There's 100% a way to handle that. 3 alligators coming get out of here don't you know the ninja turtles are down there what i do is i force everybody out of the stadium and once everybody leaves i just start dropping tear gas around the stadium and then i start kind of spreading the parameter yeah forcing them to move what's crazy is like you've been to a magic game right yeah so when When you go to the game afterwards, like you are herded out like cattle.

Yeah. Go, go, go, go. Yeah, and you can only drive one way, you know, I mean it's a whole thing, like that doesn't happen there? It's like they've never had a sporting event in New York ever.

Right. I think it needs to stay in San Antonio. I'm not even a San Antonio fan. I mean, you know what, since you guys are out of control, we're gonna bring in Alaska.

We're gonna just take it and we're gonna put it, you're gonna, we're gonna play in, we're gonna play in some church, where no one can sit. Now we can see, just bring in a couple of cameras and just call it a day. Or we bring it to Disney and we put it in a bubble. We bring back the bubble.

Right. I like the bubble. That was awesome. Okay, continue.

Alright, we done? Yeah. Alright, Siglo... He's like sports, I don't know.

No, it was fun for a few minutes, but then... Okay. Siglo Gold Leaf Humidor goes on sale. Hmm.

The Siglo Gold Leaf Humidor goes on sale. 53. Rated to hold 50 cigars. As the name suggests, it's centered around a gold leaf, which is made of metal.

There's no gold. - Oh. - No gold on the-- - So it's not even real gold. - Nope.

Look at you. I don't want to play the game today. Yeah, this must be a good day. I don't want to play the game.

I don't want to play the, what's the score? That's the-- I quit. It's the end of the story. It's three lines.

It's the dimensions. There's no gold. $700. Not exciting.

Not even like a gold foil piece? Nope. Well, it's painted gold. There's a leaf embedded into the top and the side.

It sort of folds over the edge. An actual tobacco leaf? It's supposed to be a gold tobacco leaf, but it's just metal. I wonder what mountainside they get that from.

What mountainside? Well, it's not from Placentia. - In the middle of the Iranian war. - Right, it's from the water plant.

- Well, now they don't have water, so they can't even grow tobacco. - Yeah, that one village can't grow water. - Yeah, when there's no water, they turn gold. - Oh, it's like wine into gold?

Water into gold? - Now we're starving the people. - We're not feeding anybody anymore. This is it.

There's no water. Move on. - This is just disperse. Everyone disperse.

And Prima Nocta. Okay, we're all doing Prima Nocta. Yeah, I didn't want to drop it again because I dropped it a couple times. Yeah, it's like your go-to thing.

Felt redundant, so that's why I just used the quote instead. Indian Motorcycle Cigars, 120th Anniversary, is arriving. Indian Motorcycle Cigars? Yeah.

They're not that good. I've had one before, nice. It's just my opinion. Like, is this the real company, Indian Motorcycles?

Well, I mean, they're using the real logo. The first box of the Indian Motorcycle Cigars... Who buys these cigars? Let's read on and find out.

120th Anniversary have gone on sale at... Let's guess, it's a shop exclusive? This is a price. It's a shop exclusive?

No, no, it's a place. 150th anniversary? 125th. Don't prematurely age them.

I'm very sorry. They'll get upset, but you don't ask a cigar how old it is. It's a humidor or a box of cigars? No, no, the place where you can buy this.

There is a cigar shop that has this cigar. What is it? What's the cigar shop? Who has it?

Two guys? No, Phil? Smoke in. No, Rhino's Cigar Lounge.

By Owl's Shop in Wyndham, New Hampshire. He must be in the game. Oh, so if it's in New Hampshire, that's up against two guys. Not really.

I don't think they're hurting for this, bro. " Yeah, God, now they're gonna beat us. The cigar is the latest release from Phil Zangy III, made in honor of the 120th anniversary of Indian Motorcycle, America's oldest motorcycle company since 2015. Zangy has had a license agreement to produce Indian motorcycle cigars.

As for the cigars, it is a 6x52 Toro using a Pennsylvania broadleaf wrapper over a Dominican binder and undisclosed fillers. Cigars were made at De Los Reos in the Dominican Republic. Quick, Eat Cigars & MSRP, up... Gentlemen, how many?

$16. Sounds like they're trying to get their money, so let's go $20. $20! Look at him!

I quit. I quit. There's no what to score today. Big bong.

There's nothing. In production is limited to 500 boxes of 20 cigars, Zangy told Cigarsler Podcast that over the next month he will ship orders to other stores if they want them to. In addition, he is working on taking part in an event with Indian Motorcycle as the brand celebrates its major milestone over the summer. Indian Motorcycle was founded at Hendy Manufacturing Company in 1901 in Springville, Mass.

There's a hiatus, though. Oh, there's an update. What? The cigar debuted at Rhino Cigar Shop by Owl Shop, not Owl Shop.

What? Rhino Cigar Shop by Owl Shop, not... I don't understand that. They advertised another...

Rhino Cigar Lounge by Al Shop. Not Rhino Cigar Shop. Oh. Right.

Okay. Hey. Hey, get it right. Now it's time for the industry's favorite game.

What's the score? Players hear clues from a half-wheel cigar review and try to predict the score before it's revealed. As more details are shared, the challenge gets easier. - Or does it?

The closest guess to the actual score wins the round. Can you read between the lines to predict the score? Let's find out. - I don't even know why I turned them on.

- Me either. - First, or the only cigar, August 14th, 2021, Charlie Minato, it's a Nicaraguan cigar, Stallone Cigars, Stallone the Pony. - Oh, not like the boxer? - No.

84. We don't even know what this cigar company is. I've had one of these before. It wasn't bad.

I don't think I had the Pony, but I bought one at Karen Berger's place years ago when I was out there with Chet. You had to brush the dust off? Are they still around? They're probably not still around.

Still own cigars? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know.

I've never seen them anywhere else down here but her place. I can't look at a cigar that I have no clue about and put it in the 80. I'm going to go, you know what, I'll go 80. I can't, I can't put it in 80, but I can put it at.

Yeah, I'll put it at 80, but I'm probably going to go down. I was thinking like 75 or somewhere around there. All right, cigar reviewed, Stallone the Pony is from Nicaragua. Factory is Las Villas Cigars.

Have you heard of that factory? Who? Las Villas? Sounds familiar.

Sounds familiar. V-I-L-L-A-S? Bias. Bias?

Villa. Rapper is Ecuadorian Sumatra. Binder is Nicaraguan. Filler is Nicaragua and USA Connecticut.

Broadly. It's a 4x58 short Gordo. 95, which is the reason I bought it. Such a deal.

At ABC? No, no, at Karen Berger's place. Oh, yeah. They smoked three of these.

That means they spent $13. It's probably not even a long filler. Yeah, it was. No way.

No way. Yes, I need a score, gentlemen. It has the golden leaf for my ram. 82.

I mean, I'm at 80. I mean, I can't change. What am I changing? Alright, clue number one.

Your score. Are we ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, clue number one, one of the standout aspects of the Pony was its construction.

All three samples delivered an excellent burn with solid stack of dimes ash and an impressive amount of smoke production. Even when smoked at the quicker pace, the cigar maintained its integrity, proving that the craftsmanship behind it was top-notch, top-notch. So we're already talking about construction. Yeah, I thought that was weird too.

It has to be a real dog rocket. It was a horrible cigar, but you know what was really good? 84. It was made really well.

I'm going to say 84. 84. I'm going down, man. You know, I'm going to my original.

I'm going to 75. Glue number two. That wasn't your original. The original was 80.

No, I said I was probably going to go down to 75. Glue number two. So number two. The cigar offered an attractive presentation and an approachable price point.

The thick Vitola, unique saddle-inspired band design and the reddish tones of the Ecuadorian wrapper gave it a distinct look. Additionally, in an era where premium cigars continue to climb in price, having a new release available at less than $5 per cigar is a refreshing option for budget-conscious smokers. Bro. You know like when you go into a gas station and you look at the food?

Yeah? Right. You mean the food they make or the food you can get in a package? No, no.

I mean, yeah, say you go in there and they have the hot case, right? I generally stay away from the hot case at gas stations, but please continue. Let's just say you're super hungry. Okay.

99 on it for a plate. 99? What time of the day is it? I gotta be honest.

No, it don't matter what time of the day. 99 hamburger. I gotta be honest, dude, I have no idea what you just said. I'm just lost in that mask, bro.

I'm just looking at you like, my goodness. Wow. You know, I know he broke the antennas off by accident, but I put it on yesterday, it's much more comfortable without the antenna. The antenna must have been broken in the middle.

That was the problem. I mean, it's quite comfortable that way. 99 food from the gas station? 99.

You're super hungry and it's a $5 bag of chips. 99 slice of pizza that may or may not have been sitting out there. Let's just go even worse because we know he's a food conscious type of dude, right? Yeah.

Let's go, are you buying the $10 bag of nacho cheese Doritos because the price increased because they're so rare? Ah, yes. 99 two piece and a biscuit over in the hot case over there? Two piece and a biscuit.

What type of biscuit? It doesn't matter. It looks like a Cracker Whale business. I'm just door-dashing.

That the guy had left over from lunch. 99 really screams out. You can't door-dash. It's midnight.

You're at a gas station. Stop changing the parameters. What am I doing? 99 really screams out, there's something wrong with me, but please buy me to get me off the shelf.

I may. The hot dogs look like wizard fingers. Are you going to get the hot dogs? Well, that's not what he's saying.

He's saying it's beautifully crafted. Stop changing the parameters of the Kobayashi Maru and answer the question, Mr. Spock, or Captain Kirk. 99.

Right. Right. Did I pick my number yet or no? No.

No. Eighty-four. Didn't you go first? Seventy-five.

Oh, okay. Clue number three. The cigar tastes like... There it is.

Unfortunately, the flavor profile never lived up to the cigar's strong construction. From the opening draws, the experience was marked by overwhelming dryness, bitterness, and sharp grain notes that overshadowed the more subtle flavors trying to emerge, while the second third showed slight improvement and the final third introduced hints of brown mustard and nuttiness. Sounds horrible. The persistent, bitter, and abrasive character made for a challenging and ultimately disappointing smoking experience.

That was so nice, the last word. 74. Yeah. I'm surprised you didn't go lower off of that.

I kept looking for the, you know, it tastes like cashews and whatever. I go, where is the part? And then I saw the third. I'm like, oh, because it's terrible.

Brown mustard and onion. That's definitely the hot case at the gas station. Brown mustard. Well, he knows.

He's lived it. And food poisoning. Here it comes. Food poisoning.

70. All right. Final thought. " 57.

Whoa. A decision must be made. Hmm. Hmm.

Oh, he's rubbed three times. Really got that brain drinking. This is a bad cigar. I mean, they just straight out say it.
