Let's see.
Well, today's Columbus Day.
It is.
But it's no longer called
Columbus Day.
It's not.
It's Indigenous People's Day.
Indeed it is.
Didn't he kill a lot of people
or something?
I'm.
Sure.
I mean whatever I.
Thought he was a bad man.
What's Indigenous?
Indigenous means Indians, people
that already.
So what's people that already
live here?
What's weird about this holiday
now is that some people have,
oh, some people.
Yeah, it's a national holiday.
It's one of the national
holidays.
But banks are no banks are mail.
No Mail Today, no Mail Today, no
Mail Today.
OK.
But that's really the only
thing.
So hold on a SEC.
You get rid of the Redskins, you
get rid of the Indians, the
Cleveland Indians, correct?
And you make Indigenous Day.
Yeah, we Indigenous People's
Day.
So we we acknowledge they were
here first.
Yeah.
So does the Redskins and the
Indians.
Yes, but that's a racial.
Yeah, that's racist.
That's unbelievable.
Listen to him.
So banks, it's an option if they
want to be closed or not, right?
The Stock Exchange.
Stock Exchange is running.
Yep.
No, no, retail's closed.
Walmart's open.
Target's open.
Costco's open. chick-fil-A's
open.
Oh, by the mail that that tells
it all.
Just said no mail.
We started the show with the
mail.
There's no mail.
That's the only thing that's
happened today is no mail.
No mail I mean.
No mail.
That's big.
But we got UPS came in.
UPS is not mail.
I feel like I got mail.
They're not run.
Oh, you got mail?
They're not run by the US
government.
No, you got they got no, no
mail.
No mail, no mail today.
Very interesting.
It's such a weird holiday.
I guess so.
Kids are.
My kids are at school.
Oh, are they?
Yeah, but public schools are.
So I was going to ask, is your
county closed?
I think so.
But I thought you if your county
was closed, you were closed.
Is that just?
On no, not, yeah, not on that,
but like, well.
They're a private school
anyways.
Yeah, but right.
But he said they followed
Seminole County.
Yeah.
But there are specific holidays
that are off, right that we're
on.
And look man, they've been home
for five fucking days, almost a
week after the storm.
Well, Volusia County, the
schools are open, but it it was
already an in service day.
So teachers are there but no
kids, right?
Yeah, I'd have been like,
listen, right.
Well, there's they're all going
there's.
Schools out here that are closed
in Volusia County.
Because of power damage?
Yeah, I believe it.
Yeah, like Adrian's old high
school over at Pine Ridge.
The canopy walkthroughs canopies
got ripped off.
Yep, and they have some flooding
problems out there.
I mean if the canopies got
ripped off I just feel like they
could still walk to class.
It depends on I guess the damage
and stuff 'cause you know, kids
if they're hanging down, maybe
try to swing from them or.
Something.
Yeah, just stick a faculty
member there and say, hey, don't
do that.
Oh yeah, they listen.
Those are those are the same
ones.
Just say don't fight each other
right before they start
fighting.
Yeah, my wife used to do that
there.
Yeah, that's I think that's the
problem.
Your wife.
Your wife can't be the don't
fight person.
No, there needs to be like a a
presence.
Well, they have.
They have.
Like a big guy, they.
Have those security guys or
whatever they're called
guardians.
Guardians, they're not allowed
to break up fights.
Yeah, they're not allowed to
touch.
Not a lot of touch.
They're not allowed to touch
anybody.
They're.
Just a lot of guard.
Yeah, it makes no sense.
OK, They're only there, I guess,
in case somebody shows up with a
weapon.
Yeah.
So yeah, then they bring theirs
out and start shooting.
Right, exactly.
But you can't touch you.
Can't touch?
Yeah.
You know, touch up with the
bullets.
Barely if you want to do it.
Well, if you if they brought the
bullets and they brought the
guns.
Yeah, Adrian's nephew is a
teacher in Missouri.
He got in his first fight last
week and he called her goes how
do you keep doing this?
This is crazy.
Pepper spray.
You can't do that.
Either you can't spray them.
Nope.
Why not?
Nope, can't tase them either.
Nothing.
Lawsuits.
Not a tase.
There's only certain ways you
can touch them, too.
Yeah, they take.
There's training, really.
Yeah.
There's only certain things you
can do.
And that guy, I would imagine
that goes out the window as soon
as you get the first smack in
your own face.
Then I'll get a crunch.
I'll.
Start Ryan, The start of Apple
students.
Right.
That's a bam bam bam I I lost
it.
They hit me.
I don't want to.
Tell you, you know.
It's crazy though.
Is it?
Then It used to be like that.
No, no, when she started, she,
well, I've told the story, she
took down a six foot drug dealer
her first day, right?
She dropped him to the ground.
Yeah, sweep the leg, Johnny.
I guess, well then the training
was a little different, right?
Right.
Go for the nuts.
You know that that was really
that.
Was wow is.
That what she did.
No, no, no, she, she swept the
knee and dropped him.
She did, swept the knee, put him
in a hole on the ground and
nice.
Ground and pound?
Yeah.
Impressed.
Yep.
So there's some other news.

story all day long today.
Really.
Detroit Lions star defensive end

The team he is extremely

Team They won 47 to 9.
I know it's just the other team
wasn't extremely important.
They put oh, So what?
It was they.
Listen.
Oh yeah.
They were playing the Miami
Dolphins, no?
They were.
No, they weren't.
You're hurtful.
You're being hurtful.
They were playing the Cowboys.
They were.
Playing the Cowboys, but.
You know, listen, the way that
the last game ended when they
played Dallas, very
controversial, right?
So so this is a statement game
for Detroit for sure.
So.
So they put on a fucking.
Clinic There's no timetable for
his return.
His injury occurred in the third
quarter.
In Sunday's game.
The star edge rusher's leg
appeared to snap above the ankle
when he collided with the left
leg of a teammate.
Oh, not even the other team.
Yeah.
Aim, Aim.
By the way, I was corrected,
Kyle Allen and Josh Allen are
not brothers.
Yes, yeah, it's almost.
Several times.
Several times that's corrected
on that by people that aren't
generally watching the show.
They're like, hey, by the way,
hey.
That's not him.
OK, we don't talk.
To you, Yeah, it was the The
injury appeared to be
immediately serious.
Yeah, no shit.
Well, it's like sick, you know?
Yeah.
Well.
Right then swinging.
Oh yeah, man, it's.
Oh, that's broken.
Dude that's so bad.
He remained on the turf for
several moments before being
loaded into a cart with a cast
on his leg so he didn't walk off
the.
Field No, he was not walking.
Did they get the applause?
Did they?
Do they I'm.
Sure.
I thought maybe they only get
applause when they walked.
No.
They're taken, out they go.
Oh no, like that, do they?
Keep playing.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, he didn't die.
He didn't die.
Well, that was a that was a big
blow for Detroit, man.
He is a he is a beast on the
field.
Teammates and Dallas players all
reached over to Pat his.
Pat, the 24 year old.
Oh, they didn't hit the leg.
Oh damn it.
That would hurt.
It's probably.
A.
You'll be all right.
You'll be fine.
Let's see, there's just over 7
minutes remaining in the first
quarter.
Harborough finished the victory
with no further issues.
What?
I don't know who's Harborough.
This guy's not allowed to report
sports.
Out.
Dude, you just I did.
I did this story.
There was no headline.
Sorry.
I just jumped over your story.
OK, yeah, I don't do Spartan.
Actually, I think he's a
baseball player.
No.
Oh no.
He's not.
Well, there's a baseball story
too, but I didn't pull that out
apparently.
Harborough is a coach.
Yes, yes, for the Los Angeles
chair.
For the Los Angeles Chargers,
that's the next story.
What?
No, he's not.
Endured a concerning moment on
the sideline.
How many sports stories do you
have over there?
It was during the Los Angeles
Chargers game, but he's not the
coach for the Chargers.
No.
What was he the coach for?
I don't know over the it's got
to be Denver Broncos, 'cause
that's.
Going to take no, you know, this
is a good.
Jim Harbour endured a concerning
moment on the sidelines early
during the Los Angeles Chargers
23 to 16 Weeks 6 win over the
Denver Broncos.
So he wasn't even part of the
game.
I don't.
I don't think you have that
right.
I copied this off of off of
Google.
Wow, they fucked you up.
And paste.
His team's purple.
What team's purple?
I.
Don't know, there's no colors
on.
Here.
Well, that's Baltimore.
Harboro began with the Week 6
game.
Coaching coaching the Chargers.
Wait a second on the sideline.
Is Jim Harboro the Chargers
coach now?
Because there's two.
There's Two Harbors, one of them
left missing.
So apparently I'm the sports
expert now.
The two of you are the idiots.
What's his name?
Jim Harbaugh.
Oh, maybe he is.
He coaches the Chargers just
like I.
Said he is the coach of the
Chargers.
I would like, no, you just said
the Broncos.
So sorry problem.
No.
Well, because you said Chargers
were wrong.
So I said, well, the other team
was the Broncos, so he must be
the Broncos.
Oh, he had a heart condition.
Yes, he had a heart murmur.
I would have gotten to that
eventually.
That was in the headline.
OK, hey believe he left.
The briefly left the field and
went back to the locker room in
the first quarter, leaving many
to wonder whether the 60 year
old was OK.
Eventually, Harborough emerged
from the locker room and took
back the coaching range from the
interim coach, defensive
coordinator Jesse Minter, also
coach for the Chargers.
That's got to be tough,
especially if you're defensive.
All right, we're going to run
some offensive.
I, I look at the quarterback and
be like, OK, you got this right,
whatever, All right, trips left.
I don't know, run it.
Yeah.
What plays next, Coach?
What were you thinking?
Let's have a quick back and
forth.
Mine are completely different in
my book.
Blitz What?
OK, what else you got there, Mr.
Palmer?
Oh, there was another possible
assassination.
Attempt another possible.
I think the sheriff just wanted
to be a possible.
I don't know, dude.
Well, they felt OK, so he did a
rally at the Coachella.
Trump did Trump.
It was a Trump rally at.
Coachella.
Where they normally do the
Coachella stuff.
Oh, OK.
It wasn't Coachella was not
going on.
All right.
Yeah.
They broke the concert down.
He walked out.
Right.
Here he is.
He ate a shroom.
Yeah.
It all went great.
It's a micro dosing.
No, he was going to do a rally
there.
So they're doing the
checkpoints, guys.
OK, this one guy had guns in his
car.
OK, so now they're thinking he
was there to shoot Trump.
What state is this?
Wherever Coachella is, is it
California?
Where's Coachella?
CA?
Isn't it like Southern
California?
Guns in California.
I don't know, we really need to
do more research on this before
we just go.
The man being accused of a
potential third assassination
attempt on former President
Donald Trump spoke with Fox News
Digital and says the claim
against them is are false.
Coachella is in Cali.
That's what I say, yeah.
They don't have no guns in
California, do they?
Apparently.
But they weren't loud.
Them Miller, 49, said he
reported the guns to
authorities, which he says he
always travels with despite
never using them.
Somebody was just trying to get
that guy.
I don't know but.
No, apparently he had a death
threat on him a couple years ago
and ever since he's carried the
guns with him, a shotgun, a
rifle and then a pistol.
But he's never shot him and he
doesn't know how to use them.
Why would you bring them to a
rally?
Why would you always have them
with you if you don't know how
to use them?
Look, man, well, they're in the
car.
I don't care.
Well in a semi related story, a
couple years ago a a teacher got
fired because he had gone
hunting and forgotten, left his
rifle in his car and somebody
saw it on the school campus.
Yeah, you don't want to do that.
No.
So he was fired immediately?
Yeah, I mean, man, I don't know,
man, but this guy's not a
hunter, this guy, he says.
I'm not even a novice, not even
at that level.
I know nothing about these guns.
So why do you have them?
Yeah, if you're not there to,
you know, use one.
Yeah, it's a bit much.
A shotgun is an unusual choice
though for a rally shooting.
Why don't you have to?
Be.
Relatively close to hit somebody
with a shotgun.
The guy had an assortment
pistol, rifle and shotgun is
what you said.
Right, but I don't, I don't
think the other rifle was a
sniper gun.
He starts far and then starts
coming up near.
Well, at least at least without
securities in play here.
Right, right.
They stopped it of what could
have been I guess.
He was released on $5000 bail,
and so far, no federal charges
have been filed.
So yeah, So I mean, if they let
him go that fast.
Right.
Yeah.
They're not.
Yeah.
So the sheriff just, you know,
because now we know this
sheriff.
Well, it's a question of what
legal grounds do they have at
that point.
You know, is there, are you
permitted to carry your weapon
in your car still, even if it's
at a rally?
I don't think that that's
illegal.
I don't think so either.
Is he up for election?
Unadvised Trump.
Yes, Trump.
It's not the bright, it's not
the brightest thing.
No, exactly.
Yeah, it's not a a wise
decision.
Yeah.
He started Gay was while doing
his work that Miller told Fox.
He began receiving death threats
and purchased the firearms,
Miller said.
He was a Democrat growing up and
thought Barack Obama was going
to save us from the needless
wards and censorship.
What?
Interesting.
Yes.
OK, you're a Democrat.
You're at a Republican.
Was a Democrat.
Well, he he, he was a Democrat.
I understand in there it's a
weird story.
It is.
It's a very weird story, yeah.
I mean, I heard Trump's not
golfing anymore until after the
election.
Well, yeah, that second attempt
was on a golf course.
Yeah, but it's hard.
It's hard to contain.
Oh, hard to contain a golf
course.
Yeah, right.
Interesting, very interesting
stuff.
What else you got?
Then we get into the news.
Oh, OK.
Oh no, you we have Phil's fun
facts, OK?
But before we get on that, did
you have any any fun sales
things nothing this?
No, no, because I didn't.
I haven't visited, did did jobs.
It was hurricane last week, so,
you know, a lot of downtime.
Yeah, I did find out I was
planning to go into Tampa this
week and I was advised not to.
Yeah, it's probably pretty messy
over there.
Yeah, still a lot of people
without power.
Gas is still hard to find in
some areas.
So yeah, put that off again.
So I might go as far as
Lakeland.

Board Monkey from the four
quarters of the world, all the
cigar industry news you could
possibly need.
The Cigar Hustler podcast report
with Mic 2.
Bentley Tobacco launches an AI
cigar project survey.
Bentley Tobacco says that we use
artificial intelligence for an
upcoming cigar project, but
first they want to ask lots of
questions.
Yeah.
The German company and US
subsidiary are you are.
Human.
Are you human?
Do you like cigar?
Pick the seven photos of the
stairs.
Pick the seven photos of.
The German company and its US
subsidiary, led by Jonathan
Carney, have launched the AI
Cigar project, which will
eventually result in what the
company says.
Just will have a lot of
information on you.
By the way, we're smoking the
pedrones from the Padrone and
Fuente Legends Legends box.
Then we're going to review that
on the Patreon.
Right, the new website with a 30
plus question survey has been
launched where people can
provide feedback about what they
look for in cigars.
Though approximately half of the
questions seem to be focused on
how consumers purchase cigars.
I would agree there are some
questions that are distinctly
related to how cigars are
designed. 11's related to shape,
country of origin and smoking
characteristics.
Bentley says these responses
will be submitted to an AI model
that has already been developed.
So Chad GBTI, guess Bentley.
Bentley.
Yes, Bentley.
Isn't Bentley a guy or Carney
said that?
Bentley says the responses.
Oh, maybe that's the AI's name.
Hi, I'm Bentley.
Hi I'm Bentley.
What size are they paring?
With Elon Musk and they're
getting human robots.
No.
Oh, did you see that?
That's not one of the stories.
And it wasn't even trending.
It was.
Weird.
Why was that not trending?
I don't know, they look like the
ones for my robot.
Yeah, I heard you could.
It can babysit your kids and.
Yes.
Good luck with that shit.
You need one.
You should get one.
Babysit my kids.
Basic household chores.
They're super affordable.
Sure they are. 20 to 30,000.
Charge it to the card.
Yeah, what the hell?
Greg will take care of take 66.
Yeah, you only have 5.
You only have 4 kids.
Each Well, you know the dogs.
Oh, the dogs you went to?
I don't know.
Bubbles is going to need a
bigger one.
Bubbles is going to We're going
to have to put chew toys around.
Right, or it will become a chew
toy.
Yeah, but put them plots.
Plots.
See the robot yelling at.
As he's being chewed his head
off plots, they say.
I will conceptualize the ideal
blend blending technology and
the deep expertise of world
renowned tobacco producers.
The result will be a cigar
created through a harmonious
balance of consumer insights and
artisanal traditions.
I don't see how AI.
That sounds like chat TBT to me.
It does, but I don't see how AI
he's going to balance.
We'll get into more of that on
the Patreon.
Yes, we can talk about.
That yes, yeah, maybe.
I thought he was drinking a year
cup like that.
Maybe we can get John Carney to
subscribe to the Patreon and
then he could tell us to go fuck
ourselves like Mickey did.
Oh.
That'd be nice, yeah.
So great for just a mere 10 to
$15. 10 to $15.
You can hear all the shit that
we talk about everybody.
For those hoping to get a cigar
that was developed exclusively
AI, this isn't good.
I didn't know it says that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I don't know what they're
saying.
Did anybody want?
Is someone looking for that?
Well, I mean, it's kind of what
they're saying is going to
happen, but then they're like,
no, that's not, that's not we,
but we have your e-mail address
now.
So we're we're building that.
It sounds like they have Charlie
Minato's e-mail.
Oh, you know, he took the
survey.
Yeah, he I'm sure he's got a
throw away e-mail.
Probably several.
Probably, yeah.
Chinesegirl.com.
Foot fetish at half wheel?
Right.
No, not at half wheel.
We don't want the half wheel to
connect to it.

birthday.
Often times they release a
cigar.
What else are they going to do?
They make cigars?
Yeah.
Are they going to release a car?
Yes.
Typically it's a limited
edition, though other times it's
a regular production line.
Depends on what kind of tobacco.
This.
One's especially do some things.
What is it?
Well, the cigars might be
different.
The concept is more or less the
same.
There's a major milestone, and
then we make a cigar and we sell
it.
Yeah.
Professor Placencia senior is
the Father 75 birthday Placentia
concept is quite actually quite
different, really.

detail that says that it's a
personal cigar of Nesser
Placencia.
There are 750 boxes.
I have 10 screwed up.
There should have been of seven,
but there's a major twist.
They aren't.
There's only 7.
They're not for sale.
They're not for sale.
He's making a cigar for his
birthday, not selling it.
I like it.
A lot of him sells him out of
his trunk.

cigar retailers and others as
gifts.
Oh.
We love Nestor.
We hopefully.
We should call.
Her Nestor, happy birthday to
you.
You're welcome.
Birthday to you.
We're not qualified for that,
just for the.
The company says the cigars are
being sent as a gift from Elder
Placencia for those who have
walked the path with him.
Yeah, that's not us.
We haven't walked the path.
Not he doesn't feel that.
Way I think you did the PCA was
you follow him around for one
whole day.
I walked behind you all the.
Steps.
What are you doing?
We're walking in your steps.
We're following your path.
Following your path.

We've all going to walk 75 steps
behind you.
Yeah, 75 years is a milestone
birthday and inspires us to look
back and appreciate all that he

release.
Is that the the son Andres's
middle name?
See, that's French.
It sounds French.
I know, Andres.
They're all French now.
They're all French.
Andres.
He's accomplished in the tobacco
industry.
Speak for themselves.
My father looks forward to
recognizing those close to us

blends.
The Placencia family grows

AI quiz that we're going to take

Multiple scarf factors between

The elder Placencia.
I don't think he likes being
called the elder Placencia.
I don't know, I wouldn't mind
calling the elder, it sounds
wise.
Greg's older, though he would be
the elder he's.
Definitely the elder.
The elder man.
Look it though.
No.
He's living his best life, Tan
did.
You see the hat he's wearing

That's fine, all right.
It's one of the large growers
and suppliers of tobacco for the
premium cigar history we know
and also has its own cigar brand
that the best known for the
likes of Alma Fuente and Alma de
Fuego.
While releasing a cigar to make
a major birthday without selling
it is incredibly unique, it's
not the first time this has
happened decade ago, decade and
a half ago.
Arturo Fuente did nearly the
exact same thing in 2010.
It's a gangster move.
Arturo Fuente sent retailers 10
count boxes of a special Don
Carlos Robusto wearing 75th
bends.
The cigars were sent out to
celebrate the 70th birthday of
Carlos Fuente Senior and cigar
was the blend that he was
smoking at the time of his
death, a cigar formerly known as
the Don Carlos Senior Death
Blend.
Really.
That's Blend.
No, I yeah, I figured.
This.
One, as with Placencia I.
Wasn't believing.
These.
I will call it the death.
The death.
There's the when my father was
smoking when he died.
I shall call it the death.
As my time is coming to an end.
They were sent to retailers free
of charge.
Dwining it down here.
Fuente did the same year later
for Fuente senior 70th birthday
but stopped after that.
Like it's getting too expensive.
You know, Eric Espinoza called
me.
He's doing a birthday cigar.
We get it for free.
No, but he called me before the
storm.
He called me after the storm.
Check.
A lot of people checked on me,
which is awesome.
But Eric called.
Well, he's nice, yeah.
Jack called me.
So if Eric is going to make a
cigar for his birthday.
We might get, we might get that.
That would probably for that.
Jack called me.
Hector texted me.
Yeah, but no.
Yeah, Jack called me as well.
You didn't answer the phone.
Is that what happened?
Yes.
There's a lot going on, buddy.
You were still sleeping.
It was early in the morning.
What was that?
Because you weren't answering me
either.
I had to call you very tired.
Had to call your brother.
So he's not making any more?
No.
I said get like, two years in a
row.
We can't afford this.
Dad, stop sending us free
cigars.
Yeah, you might be dying soon,
but I'm not.
I need to keep the money.
Residuals.
Crytek taking over US
distribution for Clipper
lighters.

The parent of Clipper made the
announcement today.
The synergy with Crytek's
current brand portfolio provides
Clipper with a robust new
presence across retail channels
where we compete, said Jorge
Munoz.
Maybe it's George.
CEO, It probably is George
George, CEO of Flamongus in a
press release.
Crytek extensive distribution
network will also help us
through.
Never seen a Crytek
representative in here either.
No.
So we're not getting Clippers?
Probably not.
They were founded in 1959.
Few different models was known
for a unique feature compared to
its competitors in the
affordable lighter category.
The lighters are refillable.
It's a disposable looking
lighter that you can refill.
That's fantastic.
The classic Clipper lighter
retails for around a dollar, has
a single soft flame packed
inside a unique body shape that
combines a cylinder with an
angular shape.
Though the company offers other
styles and even the torch flame
option.
There's a press release.
There was some information.
Yeah.
He's releasing the Crow Head of
Halloween.
Yes.
Now I read this quickly.
Original.
I thought they were releasing
the crown head.
No, the crow ahead the crow.
Yes, I know it's a crown head.
The Crow.
The Via is a new cigar called
The Crow.
It's.
Just like the original Crow with
Brandon Lee, where you can smoke
and it doesn't die, it doesn't
go away.
Yeah, it's a 5 1/2 by 50 robusta
with a new.
That's not true.
Yeah, it is a 5 1/2 by 50.
Yeah, but.
When you smoke.

It can't rain all the time.
Oh, Nicaraguan blend highlighted
by the Coroho 99 wrapper is
being made at the Aguinosa
factory in Nicaragua.
We're not explicitly.
It's Aguinorsa Aguinorsa, so it
should be good.
When I explicitly in offshoots
of the company's full moon line,
which is not being released this
year, there is still a
connection as a full moon
packaging features a small crow
on each box.
Yeah.
Pricing is at $9.60 per cigar,
is offered in boxes of 15
scheduled to be in shipping
October 16th.
Are we getting this?
We are, but they're all gone.
I hate when you sell stuff
before we get it.
Look, man, I understand.
That's that's the listen.
That's how the business works.
Stuff comes in, it gets sold and
then we can buy more stuff.
I pride myself on customer
service.
Yeah.
So if someone's going to reach
out and someone's interested,
right, it's gone.
So how many do we get?
You got three boxes.
Oh, OK, well, you could.
Yeah, normally you.
Sell three boxes where you're
still working out.
I, I sold those three boxes were
sold without me reaching out the
other.
You know our consumers reach out
to us.
Yes, yes.
Well, we know.
You.
They're also coming out with the
ghost pepper.
I had the pepper before I didn't
really like.
It Oh yeah, maybe it's a
different pepper.
Well, ghost pepper seems like it
would be stronger, more peppery.
More peppery.
Peppery.

Here we shipped the COD.
The plan was for it to return
again this year.
Now that's happening.
Part of the plan.
I call the Knight Commander.
It's called the Knight Humander.
The other one does better the
high Claire Sandiger, right?
That's also coming out, too.
Well, I think the Knight
Commander is just a little too
expensive, wasn't it?
Here, Mary?
How much does Senator worth?
Quasi disappointing. 40 dollars,
$40 per cigar.
Yeah, that's no.
Today's market that's kind of a
cheap cigar.
What we're smoking 185 dollars?
We're just over here, just.
Put their own Fuentes just let.
I was letting this thing sit in
the ashtray over here like. 12
more dollars you get a 50th.
That's right, the Night
Commander's cigar is my way of
giving back, and I'm honored
that all the net proceeds will
support the Royal Ethiopian
Trust.
Well, now I feel bad.
See.
Just like that, 'cause he gave
them.
Wow, What is the What is the
Royal Ethiopian Trust?
I don't know.
I don't think they need more
money though.
Do they need?
It's royal.
What do they?
It's royal.
They need his little Peasley
cigar money.
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
Maybe.
Maybe he's the royal Ethiopian.
Maybe you should sell those to
Joe Rogan.
Make take some Joe Rogan money.
Put up a ban on it.
Yeah, these are the the Royal
Joe Rogan commanders.
Yeah, the Joe Rogan commanders.
He'll never know.
He'll never know.
Let's see, The Night Commander
of the Ethiopian Star of Honor
is an order of knighthood that
he was established to honor both
foreign and domestic people for
their service to the country of
Ethiopia by the Ethiopian Crown
Council.
What did he do for the Crown
Council?
He's just really smart.
I don't know.
I know he's very, very, very
smart.
He is maybe figure out how they
can all build wells or
something.
Maybe you will figure out how to
respond to texts, I don't know.
So maybe that's where the draws.
Line opios don't text.
He's not.
Yeah.
I'm an Ethiopian night.
I don't.
He's tapping on those drums
every time he texts them.
And drums.
Send me smoke signals.
Boom boom boom, boom boom boom
boom.
What are the drums here?
Maybe he's got to make an
Ethiopian tobacco.
Well, he's not up during the day
either.
He's only at night.
He's the night commander.
He's the night commander.
The Ethiopian Crown Council is a
community organization that aims
to reserve and promote the
culture of the former Ethiopian
Empire.
Well, now I feel even worse.
I don't know, this sounds like a
made-up group.
Yeah, that's a real thing.
It's gotta be a.
Thing.
Well, I'm sure it's a real
thing, but.
Probably just some.
Type well, you'll know it's
You'll know it's real when he
has to change the emblem.
It'd be like Dana making a, you
know, the Deltona, the Tona
Crown Council, Deltona
commander.
Yeah, the Deltona Crown
Councilman.
And she Knights you a member.
Of the I mean, Ethiopia's a
little bit bigger than Deltona,
okay.
Not by much.
Volusia County.
Is there not?
By Volusia County Royal Council.
There's 100,000 in Deltona.
Yeah, we're.
Getting bigger all the time.
Singles are swallowing us up.
We need, we need somebody to
help us with the infrastructure.
Here too, when my time comes,
yes, and I'm at the golden
gates.
Yes, you want him to go.
You're the night commander.
No, they're gonna play clips of
all the shit that we said.
Yeah, like, look, here's why you
can't come.
In you remember that one time
you made fun of those Ethiopians
like.
This guy sitting over outside
the gate, that's Palmer.
He's not getting in.
You're sitting with him.
Play episode 356.
We're gonna wait for Nick
Malello to get here.
We're gonna talk.
About about 32 minutes.
No, Nick's already here.
Nick.
He's trying to get in.
Nick.
Nick, you're not gonna believe
this.
He's not you.
Know he made fun of my cigar
fucked.
Him in as he pulls his sword
out.
I am the night commander.
I am the night commander.
Do not let them pass.
Oh, done it.
Winter is coming.
Winter is coming.
But I just says it done a
knowledge profits from the sale
of the night commander to the
Royal Ethiopian.
All proceeds.
What it says I believe.
You think they would make it
easier for you to get it then?
Well, you know.
All the $2.00.
I just think that there's a,
there's a, there's some issues
in that chain.
Maybe it's been fixed by now, I
don't know.
Who knows?
We'll find out when they say
you'll buy 750 boxes to get your
one night.
Command I got news for you.
Oh my God.
I still got the other.
Unfortunately, I won't be
donating this year to the next
Ethiopia.
The Ethiopian Crown Council will
not be getting my money.
There.
Not this time.
Not this year.
Sorry I'm.
Going to be famished.
As it is, oh wait, plenty of
time as is coming into the
Halloween season.
Yeah, Halloween.
Season, we have a surprise.
We have, yes.
We're going to start doing the
most haunted places in Florida
sound that sound like a little
thing.
Saint Augustine's haunted.
Well, that's not the one we're
going.
We're starting here and working
our way out.
OK.
So right near US Interstate 4,
the dead zone.
Are you familiar with this?
Is that where I lose service?
It's the.
Bridge.
That's from the bridge to the
first exit.
Really.
Yes, as you're coming this way,
moving back to downtown, OK,
blah blah blah blah, I4.
You're not alone if you travel
I4 in Sanford and see strange
lights or hear questionable
noises.
In the 1870s, a group of German
immigrants called this area home
after surviving many hardships.
Via the Germans.
We are the Germans.
We must move to Florida.
Including the famous yellow
fever outbreak of 1887.
We have the yellow.
Fever.
They're bringing the fever.
Buried the dead and left the
area for greener pastures.
So that's.
I mean, that makes sense.
So that stretch of Rd.
Between the bridge and the first
exit?
Yeah.
There's a graveyard there.
Really.
Yes.
Of Germans.
Germans.
Germans settler.
Yeah, the Germans.
Years later, New State 4
developers agreed to move the
graves of the German immigrants.
Poltergeist.
They're in trouble, but they did
not move them.
Oh, they left them.
They did not follow through with
their end of the bargain.
Today we see ghostly
apparitions.
Can you imagine that
conversation?
Hey, we're going to move these,
all right?
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, right.
No, that's a lot of work.
The ground's kind of soft.
We.
Don't have a taxation?
How do you move that anyways?
You dig them out, you dig them
out, you dig them up and move
them.
They're disintegrated by.
Them, they're probably in
coffins or something, like in
Saint Augustine.
Yeah, that whole graveyard's
still there.
You dug them up.
The dead zone.
No, not there.
They leave them there.
But yeah, they're they're
probably in some type of shell
concrete.
Some type of shell concrete
thing?
Yeah, yeah.
But they didn't move them, so
today we see ghostly abrasions,
truckers hear strange noises on
their CB radios, and the section
of I4 is notorious for deadly
car accidents.
That's fucking with my.
Supposed to be more accidents
than that one mile stretch than
the entire length of I4.
Stop it.
I've read that before.
I don't believe there's
accidents there all time.
Yeah, all the time.
It's always jammed.
It's so fucking aggravating.
And it's so weird.
Because I lose phone service,
everybody freaks out.
Yeah, because there's really no
reason, because you'll notice
there's really no backup.
But at that exit, everything
opens up.
Yeah.
You got a little ghost.
Out they go.
Wait, vent.
Do not go.
To German vent we are good.
We can't do that no more.
No, we cannot.
You crash.
You crash.
Crash.
Join us down here.
Nati Volkswagen.
Nati, Volkswagen goes.
Over we.

The Passats.
The Passats.
