Speaker 1 (00:03):
You just keep lighting, fingers, don't worry about the lighter.
I just wanted to get started because I'm so happy.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Fingers Maloy, would you say your heart is filled with joy.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Joy, birth, and a little bit of Asian asi qua
Oh nice.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
The same with me, except at a little bit of cholesterol.
See drink, smoke, come tony Kats and that right there,
that was very funny.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Is America's favorite averager drinker, Fingers molloy, Ladies and gentlemen,
the Padrone nineteen sixty four.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Could we get a hand please, We're gonna have to
get a machine to do that.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, pulled out the big dogs for today because the
sixty four Padrone Maduro is probably on my top five list, always, always, anywhere,
all the time, the fiftieth anniversary.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
When I can find them, I'll buy anything I can find.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
The sixty four padrone is I think a terrific cigar.
And this is the diplomatico, this is the natural. So
this is a seven x fifty, which means it's seven
inches long.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Always makes fingers with only laugh.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
And the ring gage is a fifty that's a diameter
of the cigar, or how thick it is around me if,
for example, a sixty four ring gauge is a full
one inch round.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
This is a perfect mouthfield.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
This is a soft box press, easy to deal with, great,
great mouthfield, great in the hand, the right weight, the
right color. That rapper and this has been in my
humidor for a while is oily. Is silky, but you
can still feel a little bit of the leaf. And
that color. That color is sexy. Girlfriend, that is a

(01:48):
sexy color. I adore this cigar. This is not the
first time I've had this, Ladies and gentlemen, Oh gosh, no,
you got to. I adore just today. I adore this smoke.
We just lit this up just in the first third
of the first third, as Fingers Moloy would say. And
there's a whole bunch of there, a whole series of

(02:10):
we toldas here different sizes. They will offer you something
different because you've got you've got. Certainly, time combustion can
change on ring gage and things like that. I like
something longer. I love the seven inch. A six inch
is where I am. I'm not so much a robusto
guy in that five inch cigar, but I found plenty

(02:31):
that I liked. I love this this box press Churchill
as they call it a true medium with this is
this is all nicaraguin, But I believe the rapper here
is Habano and then you're a Nicaraguin and the binder
in the filler.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
We just lit this up. Fingers maloy, where are you?
A nice bit of spice right off the bat and
it's lingering for me on the roof of my mouth
at this point. That's that's about it. But I've monkeyed
with my palace it a lot today. Do I even
want to ask? You probably don't want Do we want
to play the game? You probably don't want to. Is

(03:06):
it because I'm gonna be embarrassed for you?

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Or it's because because you're gonna tell me what you ate,
I will have the heart attack.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Probably let's go with that. Really, yeah, you don't want
to do it. If you want to, uh, we'll get
to it. Yeah. I was gonna say take away from
the first segment reviewing the cigar with my there's.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Spice in this cigar, And that is true. I think
this plays in a little bit more of an intensity
as opposed to generalize a little bit more to me
in that white pepper place. But there's also a real,
real lovely richness with the cigar that plays in a
in a cocoa, there's a little bit of wood. You
could argue that there's a coffee that you get, but

(03:48):
maybe you want to think of that there There might
be a touch of berry going on here, But for me,
it is more in that richness. It is more in
that top line spice that compliments it so well. And
the construction is freaking flawless on the padrone sixty four
on this diplomatic let me say it again for the

(04:10):
people in the cheap seats, freaking flawless right here fingers.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, the hand feel is tremendous. It to me that man,
that spice really sticks with you. Is that doing that
for you? Yes, it is. I'm getting a little bit
of the cocoa that you and you mentioned, not much
else other than the spice and the cocoa. I'll be
interested to see what happens as we get further into

(04:37):
the first third of the cigar. Yeah, so some people might.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Everybody's got a different palette and you taste things differently.
One could argue, maybe, hey, that's a little nuttier kind
of thing that I'm getting, and not so much that
that cocoa kinda kind of flavor.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
But really I still equate it more to a richness
some people.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
I think, my, you taken more by the spice by
this cigar, And this cigar doesn't play into based on
what we know about it, based on the ideas upon
a rapper, My gosh, big big spice, it's not. This
is a medium. It's gonna play as a medium. That
spice is going to be present, but isn't going to abuse.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
And that's why I like it so much.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
There is so much happening here, which is why I
say there's this overall richness that I just adore. But
for the record, and you're gonna find this for different
prices in different places, and your local tobacconist might have
a different price than what your online is gonna have.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
But I can find this online seventeen dollars and forty cents.
Oh wow.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
And at seventeen dollars and forty cents, I'm not so
sure there's anything else to smoke.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
It just works. It works constantly for me all the time.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
It actually makes me take a step and say, right on,
I'm glad this is a seven inch cigar. Now it
could be that, you know what. It's just it's been
a long couple of weeks. It's been an insane couple
of weeks. As we're recording today in the studio here
in Indianapolis, Indiana, we learned about another shooting at ICE
Agents in Dallas, Texas, where a detainee was being transferred

(06:26):
and was shot and killed. This is You've got Charlie
Kirk two weeks ago. We are in a real ugly
time and we both do radio outside of this, I
think you guys know that we do writings and consulting
and other things, and man, I just needed I needed
to put my feet up, take a breath, and be like,
what the bloody heck am I supposed to do?

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Exactly? How disgusted am I supposed to be with the world?

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Or I can take a moment and enjoy something beautiful
and something valuable at say seventeen.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Dollars hell, Yes, worth it in every single way. Absolutely,
And we talk so much about how this is an
escape from the craziness that has gotten even crazier in
the last weeks. Yeah, it's it's the news cycle. Sometimes,

(07:14):
I understand when you see social media influencers videotape themselves
just screaming into the abyss. No, I don't understand that.
Oh you don't, I do it. That's how I wake
up in the morning.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
No, No, I get I get screaming into the abyss.
I just don't understand putting.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
It on video. Oh okay, I'm I'm I'm totally opposed
to that.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
That's that's kind of a kind of an insane way
to act and to treat yourself.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
And it hurts the voice. It does hurt the voice.
And also there are things that you do in private
that should be off the video camera, and then there
are other things that should be on video camera. Exactly,
we should start an only fans of just us yelling
and screaming. What do you think that's what we make.
We make dozens of dollars doing.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
That, right, because people are coming to only fans to
see us screaming.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
This from Padrone in nineteen sixty four.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
This is the natural DIPLOMATICO Churchill seven by fifty.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Is this cigar seventeen dollars and forty cents? Is this
in your humidor? Yes? That is correct, it is.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
I'm not saying you gotta buy it, by the box.
I'm saying, you buy a box and split it with friends,
and I'll go in on it. If this was a
once a week cigar for you, I could see it.
This was a once a month cigar for you, I
could understand that as well. But it has to be tried.
This should be in in a some part of your
lineup somehow. This is a treat yourself cigar, and you should.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Fingers, I ask you.

Speaker 1 (08:46):

Depends on the product? Medicine EH, milk, yes.

a that's accept away. To answer the question, it's ea
drink smoke, I'm Tony Katz. That right there is Fingers molloy.

Oh you want so the tony your fingers.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yes, there's been some talk about maybe trying some other
things and well, I don't know if we'll get to
that before the holidays or not. I'd love for some
people to have access to things before the holidays come
so they can eat.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
You can even get briskets from Defiance Beef defiancebeef dot
com in your cupboard? Do these things exist regardless of
the expiration date?

Speaker 2 (11:07):
This is a list from a Yahoo Yahoo Life, Yahoo Lifestyle.
There you go, Yahoo dot com. Somebody had a lot
of free time. That's where I get all my lifestyle news. Spices.
Do you have rosemary in your cupboard? From nineteen eighty four?
Do I have rosemary? Look at me? You don't have

(11:29):
any rosemary. No salt, pepper, garlic, that's it.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Not a super big fan of rosemary. Not a super
big fan of a regano. Two things I'm not a
fan of.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
But you do you.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Actually pay attention to expiration dates on on spices?

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Uh? This is how I pay attention to expiration date
on spices. If I shake the container and there's a
big clump at the bottom of it, it's time to
say good night nice Yeah, who needs the clump method? Yes,
because you know, I've noticed recently that they're really putting
small print on these spice bottles. Now, God, how old

(12:06):
are you? How old are you? How old am I?
I'm having cataract surgery Monday. That's how old I am.
That it is Monday. And I learned from you that
cataract surgery is one eye at a time. You know,
at my office it is. I have you met in

(12:26):
the standard I have seen some when I went to
when I was told that I had to have this procedure,
I went to doctor YouTube and some doctor YouTube offices.
They do both at the same time. But I was told, listen,
just in case we would make a huge mistake, we

(12:46):
want at least one eye working, so you get the
one day knocked out for the surgery. I think it's
very similar to like a colonoscopy, where or oh, I
was knocked out for my colon Oh. I thought you
still had to have somewhat of absolutely not no, to
hell with that. Oh. But I did hear that the

(13:08):
colonoscopy versus the cataract surgery. Thankfully they use different instruments.
I never heard that, but having said that. No, they
not like you had to say.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
No.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
They knock you out enough to where you're still alert. Widlight?
Is that what they call it? Something? Twilight? So a
vampire is going to be in the room, you have
to knock me out. Oh okay, you'd have to knock
me out completely. You got to be able to obey
commands and things like that, but still feel kind of hate.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Never getting your eye is open and they're sticking things
into your eye?

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Is that what they do? I don't know what they do?
You know what they do? What do they do? They
peel back the cornea. Yes, they take your lens out,
and then they put from what I understand, going back
to the whole doctor, they actually peel back the cornea, yes,
and look for the creamy middle. They they they peel
back the cornea and then I believe it's the cornea.

(14:06):
You know what, They make a decision in your eyeball,
and then what they do is they put they take
the old lens out, they put the new lens in
and yes, apparently it's folded. Uh. And then when they
remove their instruments, it unfolds like like a like you're
inflating a mattress. That's what they that's what they do.

(14:26):
Like when you pull the life raft, yes, and everything
just pops. Okay, And I'm sure there are many eye
doctors right now screaming at their radio, going, that's not
how it is at all.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
If you like to sponsor eaturnk smoke eye doctors, optometrists,
that's how old im ophthalmologists.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Let's call the whole thing off opticians. I just want
to see how much we can insult them at this. Wow,
that's really where we're going.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
I want full rage emails sent to fingers at EA
rink Smoke show dot com.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
By the way, I have completely respect for the entire field. Yeah,
because you're going in that's exactly right. Oh, then they
get this. Then they do a follow up because my
right eye is the one that's really screwed up. My
left eye is almost perfect. And the next day they're
going to pop out the lens of the eye that

(15:22):
they corrected and they're gonna put a just a clear
lens in there. Because I'm getting the lens that they
put in where you can see far away and close up. Okay,
So this this really brought the show to a complete
screeching halt.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, you started it. I want to apologize. I'm just
saying I don't think I could be awake for it.
I don't think I could be awake for any part
of that. The idea of poking around in my eye
be too much.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Can't handle that.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
I can't take the thought of it right now. The
thought of it makes me nauseous.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
I okay, I can, I can. I can appreciate that.
But I think that they they fill you up with
just enough to where you're like, oh, the room's on fire.
I'll look at that.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
That kind of feeling cannot be kojin must be knocked
out completely.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
So I shake the spice bottle and if there's there's
a clump at the bottom, it's time to time to
say good night. All right? Umm, expiration day on ketchup
or mustard. I honestly know it because I go through
ketchup and mustard so quickly that I'd never worry about
something like that, Like how what's the shelf life on

(16:37):
a bottle of ketchup? Do you know? Twenty three years? Oh?
Be done? What an age we live in. I have
no idea, I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
It's just when when the cap is too crusty to clean,
that's when I say we're done here. When I feel
gross having it on my hot dog, that's when I
say I'm done.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Oh see, it never happens with me because I always
take a little bit of steel wool when I'm done
with it.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Smart, we should get into the conversation about expired medicine
because you that's between you and your doctor, and we
are not medical professionals and we are not giving any
medical advice. But there are some medicines that you keep.
You do you talk to your doctor, don't listen to me.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Eat Drink Smoke.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
It is your cigar, bourbon, footy extravaganza, Tony Katz, that
is Fingers Mloi. I find everything we do at Eat
Drink Smoke show dot com and of course the YouTube channel,
more and more videos going up every single day.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Enjoyable.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Why just laugh at the antics of fingers maloy when
you can watch it happen now in technicolor. Go to
YouTube dot com, Eat Drink Smoke. That's all you need
and subscribe. Do that immediately, if not sooner. Smoking from
Padron the nineteen sixty four The Diplomatico which is the
seven x fifty doing the natural here with that Habano rapper,

(18:02):
and it is just an absolute knockout of a smoke.
Grab your notebooks if you haven't already, and take your
cigar and break it up into thirds in your head.
First third, second, third, final third. We're still in the
first third of the cigar. Write down what you ate
that day, what you drank that day. Should we play
America's favorite game, No, we're gonna skip it for now.
We'll skip it for now. What the weather has been like.

(18:23):
We had crazy hot temperatures in Indianapolis. Then we've had
a ton of rain. Now it's a little bit cooler.
Fall weather finally upon us, which is very, very exciting.
But the weather, everything else, all can affect your palette,
all can affect how you taste the cigar. Then write
down what you experience first third, second, third, final third.
Write down in your notebook. Any notebook will do. And

(18:45):
then three months from now, six months from now, two
months from now, four days from now, whatever it is,
do it again. Smoke that cigar again, write down your notes,
check your notes and see what.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
It is that you picked up.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
And you kind of like you're through line what is
it that you constantly experience. That's what you're getting out
of the cigar. That's the way we suggest to do it.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
That spice for me has subsided a little bit, and
now I'm getting a little bit of coffee that I
wasn't getting before.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
My point is is that what I'm calling a white
pepper stays. It's that you can argue that it subsided,
it's not as present. You can argue that you're used
to it, but it isn't gone. No, it's part of
the mix. And I think this beautifully, beautifully mixes. I'm
telling you, I think it doesn't even make any sense

(19:34):
to me. Why this why a habano rapper, et cetera.
Just some things hit me as some things hit me.
There's a cigar from Drew State Liga Bravada. They do
the Feral Flying Pig. The Feral Flying Pig is a
Connecticut broadly, which I love with. I think it's a

(19:56):
Brazilian matafina in there as well. It's more of a
full cigar that cigar. Anytime I can buy it by
the box, I'm buying it by the box. I don't
know what it is. I don't know why it is
that cigar is spectacular to me, and it's just it's
just this interesting thing about how some things hit and

(20:19):
some things connect with you and they stay with you.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
That cigar has stayed with me.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
This Vitola the seven by fifty from Podrone nineteen sixty
four has stayed with me. Nothing to me beats, I
should say the fiftieth anniversary series from a Padrone the
fiftieth birthday. That cigar over near everything. I love that
freaking cigar, love it. But this is at seventeen dollars

(20:47):
and forty cents. I may just order some right now,
just to show you what's what.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
I would have one in my humidor probably two or
three for after a football game, maybe lighted up right
around five or six minutes left in the fourth quarter,
for a good victory cigar, and this would be absolutely
perfect for that. How are the Detroit Lions doing, By

(21:13):
the way, they're two to one. They just defeated the
evil Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night football. That's what they
That's what they did. It's time Fingers moy for News
of the week. Tony ABC News has the story a
thirty two year old South Carolina assistant teacher has been
arrested on charges he surreptitiously sprayed his school with a

(21:34):
substance that smells like poop, sickening students and causing more
than fifty five thousand dollars in damages. Can you explain
to me how this was sprayed and from where it
was sprayed. It was sprayed from a can or a
little bottle, but it was sprayed there. They don't go
into detail, but you know how usually when you have

(21:55):
perpetrators of crimes like this, they have three names. This
guy has four. Alexander Paul Robertson Lewis allegedly dispensed the
substance at West Florence High School in Florence, South Carolina
over a nearly month long span, leaving school officials mystified
as to the origin of the foul order. Apparently, though
it left students sickened, there were this isn't a student, No,

(22:20):
this is a teacher's assistant and was putting their own No,
you could buy this stuff what he's selling it? Man,
OnlyFans has changed. Wow, No, you can buy We'll just

(22:42):
call it fart in a can. Yes, you can buy
this stuff and spray it Was this a substance or
was this a smell? It was a substance. He used
the spray on multiple occasions, allegedly and over time, resulting
in the disruption of the school children, requiring medical attention

(23:06):
for respiratory issues, oh, because they were breathing in the
chemical yes, and requiring the school to incur an expenditure
of over fifty five thousand dollars for inspection and damage
to the school air conditioning system. So we help me.
So I'm guessing into the returns and stuff like that. Yes,

(23:26):
we can all agree. Seventy years in jail, life in jail, right,
life in jail, life in jail, life in jail.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Let's see what smells like after that. Let's see how
much you like scents and odors. And you're not getting
from the can. Oh, no, you're getting them from the source.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
What are you in for, Alex Well, I was spraying
fart in the can and the air conditioner immediately beat
down by the entire yard, the entire prison yard. Together.
You got the skinheads and you got to this group
shaking hands. We be like we agree on this, bang
pal ping, dang. Oh, there's a place in hell for this.

(24:11):
But here's what kills me about this is, first of all,
this sounds like a frat prank, right, a one time
thing that some frat boys would do. Or Okay, a
fifteen year old stumbles across this and I'm just calling
it fart in the can, right, and it's like, wouldn't
it be funny if we did this once? He was

(24:32):
doing this over a period of weeks. Apparently he's thirty
two years old, and this this was he was to say,
Oh wait, I know the answer to this one. I'm
telling you right now.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
If you walk into the anybody walked to the studio
and sprayed fart in a can as a prank, it'd
be like good one, and I would never speak to
them again.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
And amazingly, two weeks later their tires would be slashed.
The whole reason why I brought this story to Eat, Drink,
Smoke Nations attention and I had this on the radio
broadcast today was because I was hoping I was going
to get Tony to say fart in the can in
a microphone. Mission accomplished. It's I'm quoting the story. I

(25:25):
just made fart in the can? Up? Was that not it?
They just said a substance that uh, that smells like poop.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
That's what I'm asking was this dude? You can't or did?
It was a homemade As you know, Tony. ABC News
has tremendous journalists. They did not delve into whether it
was actually purchased on amp, but I know that there
are products out there that you can buy.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Oh you you you did two all fingers, no journalistic
integrity one oh one. It is possible that this was homemade. Yeah,
but if it were homemade, don't you feel like the
odor would dissipate over if it were a spray where
it was economical if we're chemical you know what, I

(26:16):
don't know what Alexander Paul Robertson Lewis's diet consists of.
You're right, I don't know if he went to Chipotle,
point taken. I apologize to each Drink Smoke Nation for
assuming that this was some sort of chemical product that
Alexander Paul Robertson Lewis allegedly purchased at some sort of

(26:38):
joke shop.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
And I apologize to Chipotle because they have excellent guacamone.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
I also don't want to be sued by the Chipotle.
Are they still on by McDonald's that I don't know,
but the Chipotle CEO is listening to this. How did
I get lumped into this story? We're gotting another phone call,
aren't we? Yes? We are.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
If you have a flight booked on Spirit Airlines, check
yourself before.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
You get stranded.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
I was gonna say wreck yourself, but then I realized
that wasn't appropriate.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
No, Eat Drink Smoke here. I'm Tony Katz. That is
Fingers molloy.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Be sure to follow us on Instagram at Eat Drink
Smoke podcast. Spirit Airlines is furlowing a third of its
flight attendants eighteen hundred flight attendants being furloughed. This was
written on the Winds where they made the announcement a
little bout a month ago that they're.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Not sure about the future.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
That led to I believe it was United Airlines immediately
offering routes that were exactly the Spirit Airline routes in
specific cities because they're gonna need to be serviced. It's
an opportunity.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
This is.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
I am not interested in putting us in a position
where we're, you know, saying something that's going to impact
their business, you know, negatively.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
This is the end. This is the end of Spirit Airlines.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
And my last flight on Spirit was with you, and
I said, this is terrible, and I never felt that
way about Spirit before.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
It was just it was just really bad.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
It's stunk, and I awful because I've enjoyed the airline before.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
It's comical to me and not that people are losing
their jobs. And I feel bad for the eighteen hundred
flight attendants that are going to be losing their jobs.
But you bring up that story and I share it
with people a lot because I was so floored. We
were flying from Las Vegas back to Indianapolis and the
gate agent got on the intercom and said, ladies and gentlemen,

(28:53):
if you have to use the bathroom, you may want
to use it now before you get on our flight
because only there's only one I'm working lavatory on the plane,
thank you very much. And that was it, like, oh, okay, well,
thank you for that. And then two minutes later, ladies
and gentlemen, if if you're hungry, you may want to
grab a snack now before you get on the plane
because we only have one beverage cart and snack cart available.

(29:16):
Thank you very much. Like geez I don't. They said
very much. They said, deal with it. I was trying
to put a positive spin. I was trying to do
but you and I looked at each other like, what
is It's six o'clock in the morning. What is this? Yeah,
but if you can't eat or drain, then the bathroom
part doesn't really doesn't really, And you want me to

(29:36):
wear a suit on a plane like that.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
I want you to wear a suit because you have
a standard and you're trying to get other people to
uphold your standard.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
It's the Walmart of airlines. I'm not going to Walmart
in a suit. I'm not getting on Spirit with a
suit on.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
That's fingers Malloy, m A. Llloy for your law suits,
fingers Welloy as an individual?

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Am I wrong? Am I wrong? They don't claim to
be something that they aren't. They're not saying, listen, if
you want a top dollar airline experience, come on over
to Spirit. They don't do that.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
I want to know what airline you can get a
top dollar airline experience.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
TWA. I swear to god, I thought he was gonna
do Braniff so help me.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
And I had somebody who was just visiting Italy and
they TEXTA said I'm back.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Never take and they put the airline never ever, ever take.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
It's not a US based airline, so the odds of
you taking it.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Are zero zero Caspire Airlines exactly. But it don't you
feel like everyone. I'm not going to mention the airline
that I just flew to New York using but had
a terrible It sounded like South Best. No it does not,
but some of it allegedly wasn't their fault. I had

(31:07):
never heard this before. Was trying to land at LaGuardia
and they said there was turbulence in the landing field.
Have you ever heard that one before? And tell them
where you ended up? Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. That's a true story.
That's brutal landed at I was supposed to land at
Laguaria at five. We landed at Harrisburg round six thirty

(31:28):
and the whole airport was closed. There was no restaurant. No.
I was like, okay, it's the first Monday night football game.
I'll go go to the airport bar. Nothing nothing, zero.
I watched it on my phone like a savage god.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
First world problems are the best problems ever ever ever made.
This is a first world problem. This is the headline
from NBC News. So who knows if it's true. Oh yeah,
come at me, NBC on that. I got spirit that's
going out of business and I'm more worried about them

(32:09):
than you. Missouri woman is sentenced in brazen and blundering
attempt to steal Graceland.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
What hasn't everybody tried to steal Graceland at one point
or another.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
This woman sentenced to over four years in prison. She's
gone by a bunch of names. She's done a bunch
of of these kind of grifts, and in this one,
she posed as an investor claiming rights to Graceland. Graceland
gets more than half a million visitors a year. By

(32:41):
the way, that's all just a half a million. Still,
Oh that's a good point. So what she did is
she posed as someone named Kurt Nassony, an executive for
a company that didn't exist industries.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Thank you, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
So this woman begins emailing lawyers for Presley's granddaughter, who
is the sole trustee and owner of Graceland following the
death of Lisa Marie Presley. This woman, pretending to be
this guy, demanded payment on a three point eight million
dollar loan. She said Lisa Marie Presley had taken out
in twenty eighteen, putting up Graceland as collateral, and the

(33:24):
company Nausity Investments Vangeli Industries filed papers asserting it's right
to the home. Now, none of this was true. The
signatures of had Lisa Marie Presley forged and Florida notary
who had nothing to do with the case. This is

(33:47):
what made her think this was going to work.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Probably not the sharpest knife in the drawer. You would
assume that anyone associated with Graceland at some point would
look at that and say, maybe we should contact our
lawyers to look into this. The signature of Lisa Marie
Presley was written in crayon. I don't think this is legitimate.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
I am stunned by people's brazenness, and I'm stunned by
the creativity. Whenever I think of a business, whenever I
think of an idea or how we're going to grow, eat, drink,
smoke my own stuff, the live events that we do,
it's based on stuff that I do. I never once
think how can I swindle Graceland? How what moment was

(34:38):
she like in a supermarket pocketing cans of tuna, and
she said, you know that'd be a great idea.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Hold on, it's coming to me, yes, And then Lisa
Marie Presley, Oh, yes, she's an easy mark. This is
just cashing the bank people.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
And that's to be rubbing my hands together like I'm
a nineteen forties villain.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Eugene Robinson's coming to get me. Nah see, man, they'll
never catch me alive. I you, where do you start
with this?

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Where do you start with the At what moment were
you like, wait, this is a terrible idea.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
No moment. What does that say about her? The level
of delusion that exists here, imagining her now in the
grocery store trying to pick out a ripe avocado, saying,
I'm in too deep? How do I get out? How
do I get out? I've gone this far?

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Stay cool, just stay cool, just stay cool. It's good work.
It's gonna totally work. They don't need the hassle. They'll
just pay it. They're rich people. They'll just write the check.
They'll never pay attention to three point eight million dollars, never, never, never,
never ever, Everybody pays attention to three point eight million dollars.
Yes to Larry Ellison of Oracle now the richest man
in the world.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Richest man in the world.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
That means he has over three hundred and eighty billion dollars.
Someone says, hey, we're missing three point eight million dollars.
He goes, what we mean, We're missing three point eight
million dollars?

Speaker 2 (36:10):
What are you out of your mind? Was that woman
who was trying to scam Graceland? That's that is spectacular.
You have to think of the ego. You think you're
some kind of criminal mastermind that you're gonna be able
to get three point eight million dollars out of the
Graceland estate. She might as well just call herself Lex Luthor.

(36:32):
Good lord, let's drink some bourbon because it is time.
