But you know me, I don't like spicy cigars. A little peppery. I'm not into that. I mean, that's >> I'm not a real serious cigar smoker like Angelo. He smokes like three, four of these things a day. But somebody who's like Angelo would probably >> This is my third cigar today. >> Yeah, like I said, three, four cigars a day. But I mean, if you don't smoke them all the time and you smoke one of these, I mean, you could handle it. I'm just not into the pepper kind. I'm more into like the creamier, smoother cigars, lighter cigars. The gay kind. Yes, the gay kind. The gay kind. I've always I've been raised with this guy right here. And he always calls me gay all the time cuz he is. I speak the truth. 40 years of hearing I was gay. Don't mind this LGBT flag. That's over. I'm not gay, but don't pride. I'm not gay. Oh, that's I'm smoking Alec and Bradley, too. >> Shout out to Alec and Bradley. >> Shout out to Alec and Bradley, man. You [ __ ] guys, you come up with some [ __ ] man. But I'll tell you what, you guys got some good stuff. >> I don't know if you noticed this, maybe not. Their their branding, the bands, they get weirder and weirder. Not that one, cuz that one's really not much of anything, but their [ __ ] gets weirder and weirder. Like look, look at this. Look at this band. >> Yeah, looks like kind of like a witchcraft kind of stuff going on there. >> Kind of. Look at this [ __ ] This has got first of all the Alec and Bradley logo. It looks cool, but then they have this crown on it. That looks evil as [ __ ] right? And then look at the thing on top. >> What crown are you talking about? >> [ __ ] That's the Alec and Bradley with a crown on top of it. >> All right. >> Right. That crown looks pretty looks like the crown from [ __ ] Lord of the Rings. The what's his name? Evil. The evil guy. >> Uhhuh. >> Um Sauron. >> Yeah. Yeah. And then they got some CERN [ __ ] over here. >> Yeah. Some CERN [ __ ] Some uh Hydron Collider. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Some Hydron Collider [ __ ] over there. And then you got that that thing on top of there. >> Uhhuh. And we're looking at the Magic Toast cigar, by the way. So if you grab a label of the M, you'll understand what Sorry about that. >> Said about what I was smoking. So there's that. And then what was the I I just smoked this cigar. It wasn't really great. It was called the Happenings or something. Mish happenings or something. It was like it was this crescent moon [ __ ] >> Mhm. >> Right. At the top. And it was like a stairway like stair. It's like stairway to heaven type [ __ ] >> And I was like, "Okay, this is a creepy band. It's one of their new ones." So I don't know if the podcast people know that you're religious and all that. >> Yeah. You tell them. >> Yeah. >> So we are religious and we're Christians. >> No, we're not religious. We're spiritual. >> Spiritual. >> We're we're of the Christian faith. We're not good Christians. We missed the mark. >> We are terri We're going straight to hell. Lord forgive us. Anyway, so when we see things like that, it's like it weirds us out. But >> the creeps, the bleeps and the peeps. >> I'm sure that all these cigar makers are probably into some kind of good Illuminati. We'll find out come April. >> Yeah, >> I'll find out come April. >> It's all good, but I mean keep doing what you know and we appreciate the cigaras. We like them. >> Sure do. Now, pair this with with this. I mean, that don't suck. That's for sure. >> Was that one better or the other one before? >> Actually, this one paired better with this. >> So, it's the Girka Evil Evil. Is he saying that was a better one? Paired with this Belvi. >> Now, I got to say, how long have you been smoking cigars? >> Couple years. >> It's been more than a couple years. Maybe 10, 15 years. >> Remember the Remember the time when I drank like half that? >> 30, 40 years. >> Remember the time I drank like half a bottle of Reisling and smoked a cigar and threw up in the >> Oh, yeah. In the backyard. >> That was like >> 2010, 2000 something like that. >> Florida. >> Here. No, we were here. >> Yeah. 20 >> We were outside by the pool, the fire pit. It was like >> 2010, 2011. >> Kind of breezy outside. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 2010 2011. >> So, it's longer. >> Yeah. It's been 16 years for you. >> You see what happens when you eat that food that they're injecting that medical [ __ ] and chemicals. >> No. Here we go. >> Just lose our mind. >> Conspiracy theories. >> I'm telling you, you're going to find out. They're saying it. What's that guy's name? Bill. What's his name? >> N the Science Guy. >> No, the guy that owns all the farms. What's his name? The guy with the glasses. The evil bastard. >> Be Bill Gates. >> Bill Gates. >> Bill Gay. >> Yeah, Bill Gay. You're gay. Bill Gay. Yeah, that guy. He's putting [ __ ] into the food. They're saying >> I can say that because I don't have Microsoft [ __ ] So, [ __ ] you, Bill Gates. >> Yeah, stop eating the food. Oh, you know what? >> What are they gonna eat? >> So, they he has the peels. Those peels. >> What? >> The manufacturer peels. >> What's peels? >> P E L Z, I think it is. That's his brand >> of what? of the food that he puts a a chemical that he puts the fruit and vegetables on and it's supposed to the fruit is bad, but this chemical that he injects it with keeps it fresh and you make it it make they make it look like it's still fresh and it's but you bite into it when you get to the core. >> Good thing I haven't had any of that [ __ ] >> I haven't. I actually uh so as a truck driver um I drive trucks and I went to a truck station. >> The whole gay thing is kind of working out. >> Get in there deeper boy. >> Get in there nice and deep. >> So I went to a truck stop. It was at a pilot station in Louisiana. And I went in and got some fruit. I got an apple and some bananas and an orange. Yeah. You know what? Maybe I am gay. Yeah. So, I'm eating the apple and I get down to >> My wife left me because I was eating a banana with my butt. >> So, I get down to the core and the apple tasted good. There was like nothing wrong with it. The juice was great. Get down to the core and I see mold and I have a video of this mold and like [ __ ] growing in there. >> Nope. I'm good. >> And I I literally threw up my guts from that. I've just seen what I ate. >> Yep. >> And after that, I said, "This is not conspiracy. It is the truth because you can't make an apple taste like that and then get to the core and it's rotten and not good. That's why I know it's not conspiracy because I actually hate it. And they're saying it's making you foggy in the brain. It makes you forget a lot and I do. Does it make you like guys? I say that that too. Yep. Makes you like the same sex. Well, listen. As long as that [ __ ] doesn't trickle down into the tobacco plant, I'm good. I'm good. Once this [ __ ] >> What do you mean? Yeah, Bill Gay better not get his hands on [ __ ] tobacco farms. >> Yeah. So, the travel, let's talk about that travel thing. >> Let's talk about this. Have you heard all this [ __ ] about um Well, everybody knows at the time of this recording, it's March of 2026. Everybody's getting their asses bombed off, okay? Dubai, Israel, Iron Dome failed and some missiles got through that [ __ ] And let me tell you, [ __ ] their [ __ ] up. So, everybody's getting bombed right now. We're like at the brink of World War II. However, have you heard about all this [ __ ] going on with the moon? Listen to this. Elon Musk. Now, I >> I want to hear facts. I don't want to hear just by what you think or what I want to hear somebody talking [ __ ] >> Elon Musk wants to go to the [ __ ] moon and he wants to put data centers on the moon. I don't know how he's going to do this, but he wants to put datas data centers on the moon for Grock. He wants to put AI data centers on the moon. And now like everybody wants to get to the moon. Now, you know, I go to a lot of networking events. You know that there's a networking event over here in Space Center called Cupa Joey. And Cupa Joey has an event at NASA and it actually is pretty cool. So, you get into the NASA you get into Johnson Space Center like an hour before it opens and you get into the cafeteria and you get to like chop it up with other people, whatever. And then when it opens, you're in NASA Space Center for free. Like everybody's in there paying $30, $40. >> So, is this where their office is where they say, "Um, Houston, we got a problem." >> Yeah. Yeah. The Houston, we got a problem. >> Actual building. >> You remember where we went on the tour? >> Yeah. >> You go in there. >> Yeah. But that that wasn't the That's just where the museum is. >> That's what I'm saying. The museum. >> Oh, it's not it cuz the office is down the road. >> No. Okay. >> The networking event takes place in the cafeteria, which I didn't even know there was a cafeteria. Okay. >> You go in the cafeteria. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> And you have you buy a cup of coffee and you can, you know, network with people. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> It's NASA. There's people from NASA there. >> So, you see the astronauts >> at this event. Yeah. You like you see people from the the organization and everybody like that's in space travel and [ __ ] right? People from Space Force are in this networking event and all this type [ __ ] right? It's all the space and aeronautical people. They told me that they're all right now trying to come up with technology. I actually met a guy, young guy, who told me his idea on how to build on the moon is actually spoton, but there's no way to test it because we don't have moon dust here. But he's he's got a technology that you can build on the moon with the resources on the moon. You don't have to bring anything. You just bring the machinery and it actually builds from what's there. It's a long story, guys. Like a freaky genius. But they're all saying the same thing. They're all trying to get to the moon to build on the moon. >> So, I got a problem with that. Excuse me. If the first guys that said we went to the moon and they came out just now on our deathbed and said we didn't go to the moon. I don't believe that we went to the moon. How is the hell is Elon Musk going to get to the moon and get the [ __ ] to Mars if you can't leave the Earth? >> I don't know. I don't know if they found some kind of an island here that nobody knows about that they're going to film and say that it's the moon and it's really not. >> Maybe it's just a way to get more money to for investments and for and to say, "Hey, we got this project going on and it's all bullshit." Oh, we're going to scratch that. We can't make it there. >> He's got enough [ __ ] money. If he just says, "I need an investment," people are going to invest. >> That's what I'm saying. >> They're going to throw their panties at him. >> We need $350 billion to go to the moon and they give it to him. And I mean, look at look what was going on with this Somalian case thing or whatever in Minnesota. >> They're going to throw it at him. >> Yeah. So, people take money and they make this [ __ ] happen and they say, "Oh, it's a flop." >> I saw a thing on social media. You can't take it verbatim. You don't know if it's real or not, but they found a place in Canada up in the Thousand Islands that it's the rocky terrain. It looks exactly like the footage from where they say they went to the [ __ ] moon, the Mars. They did like picturein picture and obviously the the real footage of the place in Canada is not red where it looks like Mars. So, what they did was they tweaked the footage in post-prouction. Like they added filters and [ __ ] to it >> and made it look like Mars, but it's not Mars. It's Canada. >> I would think you could do that in like Australia cuz in the Australian outback there's red land and that might be closer. >> I don't know why they I don't know why they picked Canada, but what they did was >> But white it's snow. >> No, no, no, no, no. This was a desertous >> place. What? >> You know how vast Canada is? I know how vast it is. You know how damn cold it is. >> Shout out to all the people in Canada. I know you guys hate us, but whatever. We love you. Not mad. These are all crazy and out of your mind for staying up there. Cuz you know why? Guy told me I just got I had to do some training and the guy was out of um North Dakota. And he said, "Oh, we're having a vacation right now and it's hot up here. It's about uh 70 below." >> 70 below. >> 70 below. I said, "How do you even you can't even go outside? How do you go outside at 70 below? Just layer some clothes." Said >> South Dakota. >> No, North Dakota. >> North Dakota. >> That's right. Near Canada. He was like 100 miles away from Canada. >> You know, you know the guy, you know, Ryan's uh smokehouse. >> Yeah. >> On three. >> Yeah. >> He's from one of the Dakotas. Well, let me tell you, those people in Canada, there's no way to have red land that looks like desert or anything like that up there because their average weather for summer is like 70°. That's their heat wave. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> So, how do you going to put any desert in Canada? There's no way. It's got to be like in Australia or something like that, >> dude. They also have a summertime. >> Did you hear what I just said? >> Their summertime is 70°. Yeah. >> Yeah. But how is desert going to lie in in 70°ree weather? >> You don't understand what I'm saying. It's not desert. It just looks like what the footage they're saying is >> bring it up. Bring it up right now. I want to see it. So, I am the show me state. I don't want to hear no [ __ ] I want to see it and then I'll believe it. I don't talk about [ __ ] Show me proof. Now, Australia, I seen videos of people in the outback of Australia. >> The world's largest uninhabited island. Devon Island >> playing a YouTube video right now. In the past week, we experienced two drops totaling about 53 >> mouth though. >> Technically are not dunes and rovers have been messing with them since the intentionally scuffed one back in 2004. >> He's a real Canadian. All right. So now I could I could see that because that was it was brown. But if they change it red, they make it look like >> I said that in postp production. They were [ __ ] with the video footage. >> So, let's go back to that. So, my word I think reigns true. If he gets billions of dollars from the government, cuz him and Trump is boys, right? And they're making this, what do they call that? That space network or whatever it is, the fighting network of space. >> Space Force. I was I was made honorary space force, by the way. >> All right. Good for you. Anyho, so they're doing this uh high-end space force. Who's going to get there first? All this other [ __ ] I think it's just another way to get money. >> Could be >> because there's no way. There was a video. >> We're not Yeah, I know. The the rocket exploding in in orbit. >> It went straight up this time. If they if they let leave them go, they take off and they go on a on a curve >> and it looked like it hit water. >> Yes. You know, the Bible says disintegrated. He split when he split the waters, right, >> and he split the firmament from the day and the night and all that. There's a video of a rocket taking off and exploding in orbit, but it looked like it hit a wall of water. >> Yeah. And it disintegrated like just turned into powder. >> Let me see if I can find it. >> And that's why I'm saying cuz that one went straight up and hit that. And all the other rockets when they take off, they have them like go into a curve. So, I think they're just screwing with our minds and they're making it look like they're going out of space and oh yeah, we just landed on the moon and we're setting this satellite. I don't think they're doing it. I think this is just a freaking mess with our minds and make us think these things. It's mind control. >> I don't think I don't think they're doing it. I don't think they're going to do it. I cuz because I know I know what you know the the good word says. If they could raise millions and billions and trillions of dollars, why the [ __ ] not? Why would they? >> Exactly. >> Even Even billionaires need more billions because they spend >> Yeah, because they spend billions. >> They spend it a lot faster than anybody. >> Jeff Bezos's boat, his boat cost $25 million to run a year. >> Yeah. So, if I can get an extra billion dollars, why not? >> That's like another >> Sure. >> 10 years of running my boat. >> Yeah. >> That I don't that I don't use. I'm sure everyone else is going to take a billion dollars if they can get it. Why not? Just because you're a billionaire doesn't mean that you don't need another billion. So like all these companies like Axios and all these corporations, they're all trying to build [ __ ] on the moon, but I don't think we can get to the moon. Everyone says that we went to the moon. Every one of them astronauts, they won't admit that they went to the moon. When there was a guy that went >> Who was the guy that went to the moon that they said he was on his deathbed? He died recently. He came on. He said, "I can't live it myself. I got to let everybody know we never went to the moon." And like a couple hours later, he died. And I think it was those um the two guys that he said they went on to the moon back in what was it 1960 or whatever it was. >> Yeah. What was his name? >> Forgot their names. >> There was a It was a guy doing a documentary and he made them uh put their hand on the Bible and say that they went to the moon and the majority of them wouldn't. Yeah. >> And then one guy, I forget who it was, it wasn't Buzz Aldrin, it wasn't the famous ones. It wasn't Buzz Aldrin. It wasn't um >> remember they made a movie about this with two guys where they were supposed to go to the moon and they made they got a a hanger and they made it look like the moon and th those two guys said that we never >> hired Stanley Kubri. >> Who the hell is that? >> One of the most famous directors, the guy who did Eyes Wide Shut. >> Yeah, they had him direct it. And >> how do you think Stanley Kubri on some of his movies shot the with with [ __ ] NASA cameras, >> right? because he had him. They hired him, >> right? Their their their explanation was the official story was we didn't know if we were going to do it or not. So, we had to have it in a sound studio just to make sure like if everybody died, if we set the rocket up there and everybody [ __ ] died in the rocket multiple times. We at least have footage on the ground of them doing it. So, I think it's all just a hoax. It's all [ __ ] because you have I'm going to go back to the thing with the Minnesota thing. These people put these daycare centers up in Minnesota. >> Now we're getting into some nasty territory. >> Yeah, but in some nasty territory. >> Look, all they try to do is make money, but it's because our government throws out >> Come for me, [ __ ] I don't give a [ __ ] They they they throw out millions and millions of dollars, billions of dollars for these programs that if you put this up, we'll give you a grant. So, who's not going to take advantage of that? You know what I want to know? This is what I want to know. All these people got these these these millions and billions of dollars for teaching women to farm in a country where they can't show their [ __ ] nose. And they're going to be outside tilling the ground and [ __ ] They got hundreds of millions of dollars to teach women to farm. They can't show their nose. They can't show an ankle. >> Oh, I saw ankle cleavage, >> right? >> Off of their head. >> Yeah. But we can't go to [ __ ] Cuba right now and go buy some cigars. Really? We've spent hundreds of millions of dollars, billions of dollars, and we can't go to an island 90 miles off the coast of Miami and buy a cigar >> cuz you got to follow the money. Castro is not giving that money up. That's why. They probably told him, "You got to pay a tariff. You got to pay a license fee. You gota" And he said, "I don't pay a shit." And they said, "Oh, okay. We'll ban everything from Cuba." I don't I don't think it has anything to do about that. I I don't think it has anything to do about that. And I don't want to even mention what I think because I like my life currently and I don't want to wake up dead. >> I think we need to become that uh that kid that exposed the Minnesota thing. What's his name? >> Nick. >> What? The guy Nick. >> Nick? >> What is his name? The one that found out about the thing in Minnesota. >> Who's Nick? What? >> Man, I don't know the name. >> Nikki boy. Who Who's Nick? >> The guy who exposed the min Minnesota >> the Menendez. >> No, the Minnesota thing with with this daycare center. >> I have no idea who the [ __ ] you're talking about. >> Some kid. >> How was he a kid and how did he expose it? >> I don't know if he's a kid. Like he's not 12, but he's like maybe 20, 30 years old. He looks like he's 12, but I think he's like 20 something. Almost 30 years old. >> All right, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Here we go. >> Yeah. Nick Shirley. >> Yeah. Okay, that's We need to become like a Nick Shirley. >> And he does look like he's 12. He looks like my nephew Michael. >> Yeah, but that's the guy that exploded. >> Our nephew Michael >> and he's um I don't know that they got a lot of he had a lot of death threats and I'm surprised he's still living cuz he exploded everybody's [ __ ] >> Okay. And Nick Shirley, a 23-year-old self-described independent YouTube journalist, posted a 42-minute video on X and YouTube the day after Christmas. In it, he and an older man identified only as David visit various seemingly empty daycare centers, bombarding Somali employees with questions and accusing them of not providing services to any children despite receiving public funds. So, this is going back to where I was saying that they had fraud because the government was giving out these grants if you put up a child care place and these guys from the government that work in these states and cities and the officials had people put up these shell companies, uh, ABC daycare, and they would give them the grant and it would be millions upon millions of dollars. break it down to you because I really don't give a [ __ ] And if people come to cancel me, I I don't give a [ __ ] So, the reason why if you want to get down to the nitty-gritty and the brass tax, why are we sending so much money to Afghanistan, Ukraine, Somalia, all these different places? Because once the money leaves United States shores, it's not accounted for anymore. people in power. I'm not going to mention nothing other than that. People in power, if elites and all of those types of people want to get their hands on taxpayer dollars, hundreds of millions and billions of dollars, if they want to get their hands on it, all they have to do is send it offshore. And at that point, there's no holds barred. There's no government agencies that can come in and tell another government, another foreign government, you have to give us an accounting of what hap they can't. So if they send the money offshore to the Ukraine, to [ __ ] Somalia, to Nigeria, to wherever the [ __ ] they want to send it because I heard there was, you know, funding sent to Africa for condoms and [ __ ] Like you could send all that money offshore and as soon as it gets offshore, that money can go wherever it goes and no one will ever [ __ ] know where it went. They had, I don't know if you heard about it, the Somalian people that were doing this thing, they were going to the airport once a week, flying from Minnesota to Somalia >> with $2 million. And there was two people carrying, each one was carrying $2 million cash, US dollars cash, and taking it to Somalia. where it takes 50 cents to live for the year. >> Yeah. 50 cents that get you solid for like one year. >> I buy my own hotel. He did one of those things. >> You see this nickel [ __ ] Like that's like Wolf Wall Street when they were taping the money to that broad, >> right? >> And going to Switzerland and [ __ ] >> Yep. >> Same thing. >> And the TSA employees were saying like there's got to be something wrong with this. Somebody's got to be notified. And one of those guys came on where they had the, you know, the program where if you over >> I tried to tell him while I was at the strip club. I tried to tell him I tried. They didn't listen to me though. >> You and I try that. Guaranteed we're in prison for the rest of our life. We ain't getting nothing. Throw away to key. >> Yep. >> Both of us will be gay. >> You be gay. We're all going to be wearing Yep. shirts. >> We'll defin We're too pretty. We're too pretty to end up in prison cuz we'll definitely be somebody's girlfriend. >> We're going to be wearing rainbow shirts for the rest of our lives. >> Yes, sir. >> But somebody walks in, whoever the [ __ ] they want, send money off our shores. >> Law comes down to who you know, >> scottree. >> Who you know, who you take care of. So, the war because that's what we were supposed to talk about. >> We just went all over the place. >> Yeah, we sure did. That's what >> for someone who was talking about going all over the place. >> We were supposed to keep on track and we were supposed to talk about the war in Iran and we screw that up big time. >> Yeah, we have ADD squirrel. But listen, I think right now everybody's getting their asses blown off. Did you see that? The missile that got through the Iron Dome. Oh, man. Hold on. >> Wait. Wait. In Israel? >> Yeah. Iran. >> I know. One hit in Dubai. D. No, I don't know if the Dubai thing is is real, but hold on. Missile. >> What does it say? Iran pounds. What does it say? >> Iran. >> Iran pounds Israel. That don't sound good. >> That doesn't sound good. That doesn't sound good. That sounds like special units. Special victims unit. >> He's definitely part of it. >> There was a couple of them. Oh, it got it. They got penetrated. All right. >> That was a couple of them. >> Yeah. >> How did all those get through? >> There's like supersonic. It's something that it's something that they're not She wasn't ready. It was It's like that. They weren't ready for it. >> Well, that's got to be something from Russia cuz I don't think Iran's going to have technology like that. >> He didn't just say that. >> We're not [ __ ] with no Russians. We're not [ __ ] with no Russians. >> I don't know. I tell you, Iran's not going to come up with that. I don't think >> somebody came up with it. Well, whoever did, they got through that Iron Dome [ __ ] >> Wow. So, what happens now? When did that happen? >> Recently. a couple days ago, you know, but the our guy Heg love you. He uh he came out and said that they're doing pretty good with the sport. Like everything is excelling faster than what they thought. He said this today, I think it was. >> Yeah, because >> March 4th >> cuz we're on everybody like NBA players on white girls. >> I guess cuz we're there now that we're we're taking control, dude. You get a couple F-35s, squadron of F-22s, couple of boats, couple of tanks. I do have to say I thank God because our president Trump, love him. He got us back in shape. America. Yep. We're finally taking over and going back to where we used to be. It's taking some time, but we're getting there. Listen, got to have patience. I don't know how we got to this conversation cuz this is a cigar podcast, but everything changes when I'm around, buddy. Gay. Everything in all in all seriousness. In all seriousness, I think that innocent people dying is a very very bad thing. I don't applaud or condone actions that cause innocent people to die. I think that is very very wrong. I think I don't know if we can fix it. I think this is like humankind. I heard a comedian uh talk about this. There was three people on earth. Four people. Four four people on earth. Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. And Cain killed Abel. I mean, it's there's four people on Earth. The guy was saying like killed Kane killed a quarter of the people on Earth, right? I think it's just it's in our makeup. It's in our DNA. We're going to be [ __ ] We're going to do [ __ ] up [ __ ] And I hate it. I don't think it's right. But it's like, where's the fix? Who's going to fix it? When are they going to fix it? Is it going to be fixed? Is it taking weapons away? No, it's not. It's not taking weapons away because in all honesty, Iran was not supposed to have intergalactic missiles. They're not intergalactic. They're they're intercontinental ballistic missiles. They weren't supposed to have ICBMs. Whether they were armed with nuclear warheads or not doesn't make a difference. They launched some [ __ ] that got through the Iron Dome. They were not supposed to have those weapons. taking away weapons is not going to fix the problem because no matter what man has evil in him and her what is going to be the fix I don't know but innocent women children men dying for the actions of few is not cool not cool at all however my thoughts his thoughts is not going to stop it it's not going to stop anybody from doing it it's going to continue to happen but What do like what do you do? What do you do? You can't sit there and watch people who have for 30, 40 years said they're going to wipe out your entire race go and enrich plutonium to make nuclear weapons. You can't let that happen because let me just put it this way. If somebody takes out the United States, you guys are all [ __ ] You guys are all [ __ ] because everyone talks [ __ ] about the USA. Everyone says that we put our nose where it shouldn't be. Everyone talks a lot of [ __ ] about us. But let's just come to a scenario. Let's just go into an imaginary world where the US gets blown off the face of the [ __ ] map. If somebody can blow us off the map, you guys are in deep [ __ ] Deep deep [ __ ] So taking the weapons away from everybody, first of all, is never going to happen. never going to happen because as long as there's gun runners, which there always will be, as long as there's people that are selling the [ __ ] always going to be around. So if you take them away from people that can actually stand up and they have some balls to protect other people, if you take the weapons away from those people, who's left? The bad guys. That's who's left. The bad guys are left with the weapons. They're the ones who are going to knock your door in and murder your family for all your possessions. That's who's left with the weapons. So, it's not taking the weapons away. What's the resolution? I don't know. >> So, you're saying that the United States is the daddy in the other countries are the baby and mamas? >> I'm your daddy. Listen, we are a superpower. There's there's no doubt about it. any sort of armament, military, we are superior. I mean, we have the top end [ __ ] Do we use it? No. We have it just to protect ourselves, but that's like people who carry weapons, people who carry um firearms. There's a lot of people out there that carry a lot. Millions of people carry in the United States every single day. Millions. >> 90% of them are in Texas. 90% of them are in Texas and Florida. Do they use them every day? No. No, they don't. I know people that have carried for 20 plus years, have never pulled their sidearm ever. That doesn't mean you go out on the streets unprotected. You know, it's kind of like that thing, [ __ ] around and find out. Well, thankfully, nobody tried to find out with a lot of these people. You see all these videos on YouTube of people robbing banks or robbing stores or whatever, and somebody was there with a sidearm. It's I always say this. If you take the weapons away from everyone, you know who's going to be left with weapons? The bad guys. Cuz there's always going to be a gray market. There's always going to be a black market. It's been from the day weapons were created. There's always been that market. So if you take them away from the people, law-abiding citizens who just want to live their life, make a living, and protect their family. if they're going to protect their family, see somebody in danger, they see somebody in danger of losing their life, you you're damn straight they're going to help that person if they can. >> So my my thing is you get a lot of these countries that talk a lot of stuff bad about the United States, but when something happens in their country, >> who do they call they call United States? >> America. >> They call us. Why? Cuz we have the most money and the most firepower. We got the best weapons, the best team. So they call the best when when the mob was the mob. You didn't have people going around killing anybody because they knew that the mob would take your ass out. >> Bro, we could we could find a bad guy taking a [ __ ] in the Amazon rainforest under a palm tree somewhere where no one can find him. We could find him. >> Yeah. Yeah. But and everybody knows that when you have somebody that's got a ton of money, got power, got weapons, got everything. What are you going to do? Not go to them if you know they're going to fix your problem. So, a lot of people are going to talk a lot of [ __ ] but they know what the truth is. The United States is the best. We ain't going to beat it. We the best. >> Got to You got to say it. And you can't live without the United States. >> We the best music. >> Like he said, if the America goes out, the world is screwed. It is. Put that into perspective, guys. If we did not exist, what the [ __ ] happens to the rest of the world? Australia gave up all their weapons. Costa Rica has no military. Let's take it back to history. Germany, Nazi. >> He went there. >> Look what he did. >> Snap. >> And then what happened? United States had to come in and save everybody's ass. >> Well, the United States and and and England. >> Yeah, but I mean, England tried to do it and they couldn't. They have they have uh >> Don't go there. What? Don't go there. The UK are the ones who broke the Enigma machine. Without them, we wouldn't have known where all the ships. >> I would know that, but they couldn't. They didn't have the firepower. They didn't have the equipment. They didn't have the technology at that time. >> It was a team effort >> to come in. It was a team effort. But if they wouldn't have called the United States to join with them, they would have never won that war. >> No. >> The world would have been blonde hair and blue eyes. >> Technically, if you want to get into if you want to split hairs, you want to get into the nitty-gritty. One of the main reasons why the war was won by the Allies is because if you look at it, if you put it neck to neck, you know, head-to-head, the German artillery and armament was way superior to ours and to Britain's, but our [ __ ] was made in factories. So, we had tons of spares that worked and if a sprocket broke, if a if a track broke on a tank, they just replace it. >> They had it in their pocket. Hey, >> Germany, everything was far superior and handmade. That's why if you go into the back country of [ __ ] Germany and where all the war was fought in in um Italy and France and [ __ ] you will find old German tanks in those like ravines and [ __ ] Far superior. >> I met a guy that was at the gym today. So after the gym, I uh I went to get a protein shake and there was this guy sitting at the thing. So, we started talking and he said he wants to go to Germany because in Germany there's so much history and like war. He said you can go underneath where the um the passes are going over the like the canals and stuff. And he said you can go down there and you could still see the bullet holes that they had from the war times in those >> Yeah. Cuz in those days Europe is not like the United States where they change everything every 5 years where they >> No, they keep all their [ __ ] >> They keep all their [ __ ] So bullet bullet holes and all that [ __ ] all there >> tanks >> and all that [ __ ] is still there. >> And there was a couple companies uh actually there was a couple of companies that made it to like um TV that were like TV programs of companies that went out into the river the riverlands of Europe and they found these old German tanks far superior. the the the armor pierced like the the armor um the tank armor was like 10 times thicker than the US armor, but it was everything was handmade. They like hand grinded that [ __ ] hand welded that [ __ ] If something broke, no shot no shot of getting that [ __ ] >> They would have to leave it there, wouldn't they? >> They left it there. That's what That's what they did. That's what they did. >> They walked away from it. >> Remember those two British guys? They It was a show. It was a >> restore the tanks. >> They would restore the tanks. Yeah, >> they pulled them out of wherever the hell they were. But that's what you'll find. You'll find that till today. There's all kinds of tanks and trucks and all kinds of [ __ ] out there in Europe because if [ __ ] broke, they left it right there. And it's like, you know, you got a team of six, seven guys in a tank. Their asses are running through the fields and [ __ ] because they don't have no tank no more. That's one of the big reasons we had the Enigma. We broke the Enigma machine. So, we got all their encrypted conversations, their encrypted messages, and then all of our [ __ ] had spares. Not that it was better, we just had spares. We had lots of spares because when we sent our [ __ ] over there to Europe, we sent a ship with spares. All kinds of fuel tanks and sprockets and propellers and all kinds of [ __ ] engines for everything because we knew shit's going to break. And if it breaks, it's got to be replaced. All our [ __ ] was made in Ford factories, Chrysler factories, John Deere factories. Shout out to all those people. Love you all. Everything in Germany was handmade. Everyone was like grinding and [ __ ] welding and [ __ ] all by hand. >> So, the moral of the whole story is you need America. America. America. >> You need us. And I love this country. It's the greatest country ever. And I'm glad we're taking it back. >> All that to say, >> love you, Trump. all that all America's free and we can trade whatever we want even though there tariffs and [ __ ] but brotherhood of the leaf we're able to buy any cigar we want except for Cubans which hopefully that'll change soon what do you think about >> that's the last country we got to take over that's it we did them all there's only one more left and we're good >> we don't give a [ __ ] we'll take over you we'll kidnap your leader we don't give a [ __ ] >> no I think this is good uh Alec Bradley do not disturb it got better on the >> did it Yeah. I don't know if just my palette did the spiciness go down or >> Yeah. I don't know. Like I said, I don't know if my palette just got used to it. >> It got less gay. >> Yeah. >> Is that what it is? >> Yeah. >> But it's good. >> But anything Alec Bradley, >> I mean, >> they're good. >> There's There's only a few like I I my daily driver was the Tempest for a while. I bought a box of Tempest and I I smoke that every day for like with coffee. Yeah. I'm a real psycho. I have cigars in the morning. >> What was the one that they made that you gave me that I really liked? Alec Bradley one. It wasn't You bought that one that you're smoking now and then another one. >> I didn't like it at all. >> What is it called? What was it called? >> The Blind Faith. >> Blind Faith. >> I didn't like it at all. >> I liked it. >> Didn't like the Blind Faith. >> That's another one. You know, so the Blind Faith was actually the first cigar that the owner of Alec Bradley, which I don't know his name. Alec and Bradley are his two sons. The Blind Faith was the first one that they blended. >> Yeah, I think I didn't think it was good. >> Good job, guys. >> Second of all, um it had a weird band. The guy with the head of a TV, it was a man with a with where a TV where his head should have been. Pretty weird. It's pretty weird. >> Yeah, but I mean all these cigar guys, they all have weird crazy I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't see Steve Saka got we, you know, Dun Barton Tobacco Company, cigar company. He doesn't have weird labels. He didn't have weird names. He didn't have weird [ __ ] I mean, there's there's a bunch out there. >> Yeah. >> You know, one shot, one kills, got that dragon head, whatever. >> That's what I'm saying. Like, you walk into a a good uh humidor that's got a lot of cigars and 75% of those labels look very evil. >> It's a little high. 75% is pretty high. I don't I don't think it's 75. Maybe 50. I think I'll give you 50. >> No, I think it's more a 75. But >> this is a good cigar though. I like it. >> Alec and Bradley has come out with so much good [ __ ] Black market. I think they did pre-imbargo. They did uh an America uh cigar. They've done this the magic toast. The fine and rare. Fine and rare. They've got like three different fine and rares now. They did uh the gatekeeper. They've done and this is this is actually one that I'm going to do a podcast on or a re review. I did something called um I started a thing called hard hard pass and this was a series of cigars that I hard passed on and then I'm going back to them to try them again just to see if anything changed. And the first one that I did was the God of Fire. I bought there was so much hype on the God of Fire and I bought a box of God of Fires and I thought every single one of those [ __ ] cigars was [ __ ] and I never smoked another one again. Then I went to uh Pasadena Tobacco and Cigar on um Spencer. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And I went through the the Love that love that cigar shop owner Chris is so cool. He let me in go in there and shoot and I shot in the whole humidor and I went through and just gave people my picks, my favorites and stuff like that. And I bought another God of Fire, um, a Carito God of Fire and it was like $27 or something like that. It was good. It didn't have the same problems that they had when they first came out cuz it was a bad draw. It just I don't think it was blended right. But for $27 it that's high-end premium. It it definitely was not a high-end premium cigar. Having said that, part of that hard pass hell no was one of the first Alec and Bradley cigars, the Predado, which got like was critically acclaimed cigar afficionado like numbered it one of the highest numbers like 95 or something. And when I got my hands on that thing, I thought it was going to be like a miracle. I thought it was [ __ ] And I've not smoked it since. And I just I just got one now at C DOT when we were at C dot. So I'm going to I'm going to re revisit that cigar. But for the track record, Alec and Bradley, they got some good [ __ ] man. Like the ugly the ugly hooligan. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. With a little leprechaun on it. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's coming around now. >> The barber the barber. >> Yeah. barber pole. The green barber pole for uh for St. Patty's Day. >> That was pretty good. It's a pretty good stick. >> They have another blend when they do in October called the ugly gooligan. >> Oh. For uh >> for Halloween. But Alec Riley's got so much so much good [ __ ] out there that I mean the Tempest and uh Kugi. Have you tried the Kugi? Holy moly. >> It's an Alec Bradley one. >> Yeah. Alec Bradley Kugi. Uh The Tempest. The Magic Toast, the fine and rare, uh, the American one. You're saying that that one's pretty good. >> This one's pretty decent. I like it. >> They have a ton of [ __ ] that is like topnotch. So, you can't knock them for that. I mean, there's cigar companies out there that have been like one hit wonders. Like, they did one good cigar and everything else was like [ __ ] Like, Gran Habano, they make some good stuff, but they don't get any love whatsoever. They're coming out with like new [ __ ] now with like sexy bands on them and [ __ ] like that. They make the Persian Tiger King. Great cigar. Everybody knows. I've talked a [ __ ] ton of them on the about the YouTube. Love the the Persian Tiger King all over the or Instagram, all that [ __ ] I think it's fantastic. But a lot of cigar shops stopped carrying Grand Habano cuz they just didn't sell. Now they're coming out with like a whole new line of stuff. So, you know that that that's it is what it is. There's another there's another cigar brand that you know I know Adabbe >> that used to be good. >> Have you seen the Adabay? >> Believe me. Now they're horrible. >> Have you seen them? >> No. >> They have Adabay that are $50 a stick. >> They ain't worth $6 now. >> Exactly. >> The small like little They have a nub version. >> Yeah. >> They have like the little nub. It's like It's like that big. $28. >> That's ridiculous. When they first came out, then it was in that porcelain jar that you bought. you gave it. It was fantastic. >> Fantastic. >> And then I don't know what they did. They sold it or got a new leaf or whoever took over. >> I think they sold it because >> when Adabay was out of bay when everybody was on weight list and every cigar shop owner was like selling their first born to get a box for $35. >> It was so worth it. It was only a couple of sizes. As Frankie said, they came in a porcelain uh tube uh box and I bought a couple of those and I went golfing, which I'm a horrible golfer, but I went golfing. Not not golfing. I went to uh I went to a driving range to shoot a bucket of balls. I lit that [ __ ] one time and it never died and I shot a whole bucket of balls. You don't swing a golf club with a cigar in your mouth. So, you got to put it down, you know, shoot a couple balls, pick it back up, take a couple puffs, do it again. >> I mean, you could, but you'd have to be a professional. >> You'd have I mean, but I mean, you you'd have to you'd have to be a real psycho. But I made it through a whole bucket of balls and that thing did not die. And it was the taste. Everything about that cigar was unreal. And then I I I don't know this for a fact cuz I haven't really done the research, but I think they sold the company. But back then it was like Adabay would make maybe 300 or 500 boxes for the entire year. And if you got a box, you were lucky. If you didn't, it is, you know, better luck next year. And now I walked into C DOT and there's like 15 [ __ ] boxes of different Adabay on the shelf. That there's definitely a difference there. Definitely a difference. It's either that the family or the company that originally started the brand either sold out or they went out and got like hedge fund money, private equity money to make more product and they made more product and it ended up being shittier product. So, we went all over the place like two ADHD cases. >> Sure did. >> But we had some good smokes. I had a good drink and uh I think we had a good time and I'm you know pretty much going to get cancelled after this but you know who gives a [ __ ] And that's it. So, with all of that, I hope you guys got some sort of entertainment out of this. I wish you all of the best and many, many blessings. And above all else, until next episode, guys. Keep it rolling, baby.
