alk about the Ducks Unlimited:00:04John: Scotch and Cigar Event at Good People Brewing
00:07John: the 20-acre farm, Robusto, by Drew Estates.
00:10John: We'll give you a little bit of feedback on that.
00:12John: Pairing tequilas and vodkas with your cigar.
00:14John: Gary.
00:16Gary: What's better than smoking underground?
00:24Gary: Ducks Unlimited.
00:27Gary: Episode, Ducks on 20-acre Farm.
00:34Gary: Whack, whack, got a light.
00:38Gary: Hello and welcome once again to Smoking Underground.
00:48Gary: Today we will be smoking the Drew Estates 20-acre farm.
00:57Gary: Oh, yeah.
00:58Gary: This bad boy.
01:00Gary: Yeah.
01:01Gary: I'm taking a sniff of it right now.
01:03Gary: And I got to say, I have been impressed with just the smell.
01:07Gary: I haven't lit it up yet.
01:08Gary: Yeah.
01:09Devin: What do you think there, Mr. Gary, about it so far?
01:12Devin: Oh, I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it.
01:16Devin: That one right there, I will buy again.
01:19Devin: I will buy that one again.
01:22Devin: That one right there, of course, you know, but man, I'm telling you, that was good right
01:26Devin: there.
01:27Devin: Drew Estate Master Blend Willie Herrera constructed on a 20-acre farm.
01:32Devin: Man, golden Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper.
01:35Devin: Man, sungrown Honduran Bono, Nicaraguan, Esteli and jalapa all mixed into one.
01:44Devin: My God, it's good, dude.
01:47Gary: Lord have mercy, it's tasty.
01:49Gary: I've got a caveat to your description there.
01:51Gary: Oh, I'm ready.
01:53Gary: You said sungrown.
01:55Devin: I did.
01:57Devin: I am going to add to that because of the way this thing smells.
02:03Devin: Golden sungrown.
02:05Devin: Golden sungrown.
02:06Devin: Okay.
02:07Gary: Because there's like sungrown and this makes me think a little bit of the Alfonzo.
02:12Gary: That particular smell that I'm getting, it's a very rich smell.
02:16Gary: I'm going to start reclassifying.
02:17Devin: If I smell that on a cigar and it's labeled sungrown, I'm going to say golden sungrown.
02:22Devin: Golden sungrown.
02:23Devin: Okay.
02:24Devin: So it's going to be a, it's going to be a, what do you call it?
02:27Devin: A Devon.
02:28Devin: Devonism.
02:29Devin: Devonism.
02:30Devin: That's it right there.
02:31Devin: It's going to be a Devonism.
02:32Devin: And we can always use Devonisms.
02:33Devin: We can always use that.
02:35Devin: But yeah, man, that, that one you'll be, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
02:39Devin: And I'll tell you what that one reminds me of.
02:42Devin: That one right there reminds me, it reminds me a lot of the Camacho Connecticut, the My
02:46Devin: Father Connecticut.
02:49Devin: And that's what it sort of reminds me of in some sense.
02:54Devin: In this particular case, it's got a little bit more of an undertone of sweetness to it.
03:00Devin: Yes, it does.
03:01Devin: A little bit more of an undertone of sweetness to it.
03:04Devin: And that's what appealed to me, you know, so I was very enlightened to it.
03:10Devin: And you know, of course it's got that cedar rap on the outside where you can literally
03:15Devin: take the cedar rap off if you wanted to.
03:17Devin: Careful with the tape, but I mean, if you can remove the tape of it, whatever else,
03:22Devin: then you can like the cedar rap to light your cigar with.
03:25Devin: And that actually on this particular blend, being in Ecuador and Connecticut, you would,
03:30Devin: I think you would thoroughly enjoy it better that way myself.
03:34Devin: Yeah.
03:35Devin: So just FYI in that right there.
03:38Devin: It's my two cents.
03:41Gary: So cash it.
03:42Gary: A quick technical note to the tape and stuff that they put on this, a little insider's
03:47Gary: trading is the best way to handle it, especially if you've got tape going all the way down
03:51Gary: the spine of the cedar.
03:54Gary: Instead of trying to peel the tape off, which you're never going to do successfully, just
03:58Gary: grab the top where the tape's at and then just pull it down, like unzip it and it'll
04:01Gary: come right off.
04:02Gary: And it'll separate the cedar into two pieces.
04:04Gary: Very good.
04:05Devin: I highly recommend that.
04:06Devin: Awesome.
04:07Gary: Thank you for that insight, Mr. Dave.
04:09Gary: Split it into two pieces.
04:11Gary: Use the first one to light it.
04:12Gary: And then when you got to do a purge about midway through, use it again.
04:16Devin: And you're going to get it all the way through.
04:18Devin: Are you going to light it with it?
04:19Devin: You are, aren't you?
04:20Devin: Oh, look at you.
04:21Devin: Oh boy.
04:22Devin: Look at you.
04:23Devin: Sweet.
04:24Devin: What do you think?
04:25Devin: Off the top.
04:26Devin: What do you think?
04:27Devin: Off the top.
04:28Devin: What do you think?
04:29Gary: Oh my God.
04:30Gary: It has this nice, this nice caramely, vanilla-y kind of smooth, creamy flavor to it.
04:37Gary: Like with the cedar, because it complements it.
04:39Gary: Like, in my opinion, when you get a cigar that has a cedar wrap on it, it's designed
04:46Gary: specifically for that, for the flavor combo, for the light and the purge relight.
04:52Gary: I like that.
04:54Gary: Cause you're getting the nice, you're getting the nice smells of white and the cedar in
04:57Gary: general.
04:58Gary: Then you're getting the pulls of it inside the tube.
05:01Gary: That is the cigar.
05:03Gary: And I tell you, if they have this cigar in the Ducks Unlimited pack that we'll be talking
05:09Gary: about here shortly, that would be well worth its money.
05:12Gary: I don't know what's going to be in there, but man, would it be great if it was in there?
05:16Devin: I'd come there just for that.
05:18Devin: I will say something here though.
05:20Devin: I am very pleased.
05:21Devin: I used to not be, and I'm going to sound like a snob, but I don't care.
05:26Devin: I used to be a very hard anti-drill estate fan.
05:31Devin: Same.
05:32Devin: Yeah, right.
05:33Devin: So, you know, they concentrated on just the flavored stuff, just the acid, so on and so
05:39Devin: on and so on.
05:41Devin: And I was like, ah, and then they come out with, you know, Steve Saka showed up and said,
05:45Devin: hey, listen, you know, I don't know, I don't know how that relationship with him and Jonathan
05:50Devin: went, but they have come a long, long way with what they have.
05:56Devin: And they have, they've literally stepped up and done some really good stuff, man.
06:02Devin: I mean, really good stuff.
06:05Devin: And they're not stopping, man.
06:06Devin: They're not stopping.
06:07Devin: They just keep on keeping on, man.
06:10Gary: They hit hit or miss with me sometimes when you get to that, some of their lower end,
06:14Gary: you're just like, meh, okay.
06:15Gary: But when they, when they really decide to step up and do something, they do it as you
06:19Gary: would expect from professionals like them.
06:21Gary: Right.
06:22Gary: I have no complaints with this.
06:23Gary: And today I am enjoying this with a nice Kirkland Signature Silver Tequila.
06:29Gary: Really?
06:30Gary: Cool.
06:31Gary: Yeah.
06:32Gary: You see, you see that announcement of the libation had a nice little ring to it as I
06:36Devin: was doing it.
06:37Devin: Yes.
06:38Gary: That's how it goes.
06:39John: That's the sound effects, the top quality sound effects we have here today.
06:42John: Hey, I was doing stuff over here to do to do.
06:46John: Yeah.
06:48John: So most people wouldn't.
06:49John: I've had other sound effects.
06:52Gary: And just so you know, get it, John.
06:55Gary: Most people really wouldn't think that tequila kind of goes with cigars.
07:01Gary: But when you have a good tequila, which I highly recommend this one, you get it at Costco,
07:07Gary: it will it'll change your it'll change the way you look at stuff.
07:11Gary: Because in my opinion, tequila has two two avenues and the same tequila can have both
07:18Gary: avenues.
07:19Gary: Most do.
07:20Gary: You have that shot worthy, get you drunk, nice kind of buzz, blah, blah, blah.
07:24Devin: Then you got you got this, which I'm using it as a refreshing, nice weather out, cool.
07:32Devin: It's wonderful and it fits perfectly.
07:35Devin: That's one thing that I did not know that you really cared about was tequila.
07:40Devin: I love tequila.
07:42Devin: Really?
07:44Devin: That's that's one thing that I had no clue about.
07:48Devin: So because I've always heard you talk about either whiskey or bourbon or scotch or something
07:55Devin: like that.
07:56Devin: But now, OK, so now and you've probably already done this.
08:01Devin: Chances are you probably already have.
08:03Gary: Have you? You've done a vodka with it, right?
08:06Gary: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
08:07Gary: Yeah. And vodka is a little harsher.
08:08Gary: I'll be honest with you.
08:09Gary: Is it in the sense that you have good vodka?
08:13Gary: Don't get me wrong.
08:14Gary: You do it. You do a sit down taste test.
08:16Gary: You've got good straight up vodka.
08:18Gary: Sure. But for the most part, I haven't really found a vodka that just straight up.
08:25Gary: No, no rocks on it.
08:26Gary: Just straight up.
08:27Gary: You're like, I want to drink this vodka with a cigar.
08:30Gary: I've never found that to be the case.
08:32Gary: Now, Moscow Mule, different story, but I'm not talking to mixed drinks.
08:36Gary: I'm talking just straight.
08:37Gary: Now, tequila, on the other hand, has such a botanical flavor to it that it kind of
08:44Gary: goes well with medium to light cigars.
08:48Devin: So medium to light, some mild to medium.
08:51Devin: They are OK.
08:52Devin: Yeah. All right.
08:53Devin: Well, that's that's interesting.
08:55Devin: I wouldn't have known that.
08:56Devin: So that's pretty neat.
08:58Devin: So would it would it be fair to say that that's pretty much all of the vodkas?
09:05Devin: Would you say are some of them more harsh than others?
09:08Gary: There are some vodkas that are way more harsh than than others that are just
09:12Gary: they'll be honest with you, they're garbage drinks, but got you down to tequila.
09:18Gary: You've got good tequila.
09:19Gary: You got bad tequila's.
09:21Gary: But for the most part, the stuff you buy is going to be fine.
09:24Gary: And I highly recommend the Kirkland one.
09:26Gary: And it really goes well with this 20 acres.
09:30Gary: And you can't beat it.
09:31Gary: I mean, you got a price point of like about 12, 13 dollars.
09:34Gary: Right. It's perfect.
09:36Gary: I'll be honest.
09:36Gary: I mean, you can have a whiskey with it.
09:38Gary: But I think what I'm talking about here is the pairing aspect of
09:42Gary: is it too harsh?
09:43Gary: Is your whiskey too harsh?
09:45Gary: Do you want a hardcore whiskey that's got a nice bite to it?
09:48Gary: Yeah. And then you got this nice, smooth cigar.
09:51Gary: Do you like the counterbalance, the yin and the yang?
09:54Devin: Me personally, I don't. I like smooth on smooth.
09:56Devin: OK. OK. Really?
09:59Devin: OK. Well, that's one for our listeners there.
10:02Devin: I think that's very intriguing.
10:04Devin: OK. Yeah.
10:06Devin: So that's that's pretty neat.
10:07Devin: So that actually works out well, would you now in doing about?
10:11Gary: Well, let me ask you this, first of all, what do you think about the band?
10:16Gary: So the band on this 20 acres is simple.
10:18Gary: The background is all like solid white.
10:20Gary: It's not really an eggshell white. It's a plain white.
10:23Gary: And then it's got some nice, normal, some red, some red top reds.
10:27Gary: And then it's got kind of a finished gold, not a gloss gold,
10:31Gary: but around it, it says the Florida Sungrown
10:36Gary: by Drew Estates in the gold.
10:38Gary: And it says Acres 20 Farms, so 20 Acre Farms.
10:42Gary: And it's simple. It looks like a classic cigar band.
10:46Gary: It does, doesn't it?
10:47Gary: Yeah, that's what I like about it.
10:49Gary: And the one thing I really like that Drew Estates does is like a seal on a letter.
10:53Gary: They have their Drew Estates circle, you know, the bridge, the archway.
10:58Gary: They have that at the end of the band.
11:00Gary: So when they wrap the band up, you know, around the whole cigar,
11:04Gary: it looks almost like, bam, sealed with the Drew Estates symbol.
11:09Gary: And it's also in gold.
11:10Gary: I mean, it's simple.
11:12Gary: Don't get me wrong. I like a row of bands and I like CLE bands
11:15Gary: and really complex, crazy detailed stuff.
11:18Devin: But sometimes you just want a classic simple is better.
11:23Devin: Exactly right. Yeah, man. Yeah.
11:25Devin: Kind of like John simple is better.
11:27Devin: That's what I'm saying.
11:28Devin: Dad, go on simple and perfect.
11:30Devin: So, yeah, you're something like that.
11:34Devin: Yeah, you go.
11:35Devin: John's humbleness. Oh, my goodness.
11:39Gary: And now to step a little bit more into the cigar smoking.
11:44Gary: And the reason for the episode is we're going to have a good conversation
11:48Gary: with Mr. David, and he is going to be able to like lay out
11:52Gary: the Ducks Unlimited event at Good People.
11:54Gary: And what's great about this event is
11:58Gary: everything, I'll be honest, everything is great about it.
12:00Gary: But there's an aspect to you if you want to get a little bit practical.
12:03Gary: If you don't care like the wetlands, you have no opinion about it whatsoever.
12:09Gary: It doesn't matter. They do help with it.
12:11Gary: And you're you're doing a good event.
12:14Gary: You know, $60 tickets online, $70 at the door.
12:18Gary: You can go to smoking underground dot com slash ducks.
12:22John: It's much easier than their website.
12:24John: Their website is ducks dot org forward slash Alabama forward slash events.
12:29Devin: And you've got to scroll around a little bit.
12:31Devin: Yeah, it's a little more complex, but we'll have it in the description below.
12:35Devin: Why can you for the podcast?
12:37Devin: Yeah. And I see here that they got free valet parking.
12:43Gary: I got to take advantage of it this year.
12:45Gary: I'm not having what happened last year.
12:46Gary: You'll find out.
12:47Gary: So here's here's the discussion.
12:49Gary: Without further ado, here's the discussion with Mr.
12:51Gary: David Patton on Ducks Unlimited and my embarrassment with parking.
12:57Gary: Oh, and look what we have today.
12:59Gary: We got something special.
13:01Gary: There is an unlimited ducks.
13:02Gary: I mean, a ducks unlimited here.
13:04Gary: We got an event coming up.
13:05Gary: It comes up every year.
13:07Gary: And we just happen to have the main man himself, Mr.
13:10David: David Patton. What's up, David?
13:12David: Good afternoon.
13:14David: Thank you so much for having me and our group come on to this podcast
13:18David: and get a chance to talk about our event on the 24th.
13:21David: Am I correct?
13:22David: It's going to be a good people, is that right?
13:24David: That's right. So this is the Scotch and Cigar event
13:29David: for Ducks Unlimited here in Birmingham.
13:32David: And it'll be held at the Good People Brewery on the 24th of April,
13:36David: starting at about 530.
13:37David: And then we'll have everything wrapped up probably around eight.
13:41Gary: So really looking forward to have everyone there.
13:44Gary: Excellent. Now, one thing I want to make sure to stress to everybody
13:47Gary: listening is watch where you park
13:50Gary: and make sure you park in the right spot, because I got towed last year.
13:54Gary: Did you really?
13:55Gary: Did you? Oh, my God.
13:56Gary: In one spot in the wrong spot and left.
13:58David: Oh, no. I had no clue.
14:01David: To that end, Devon, I want to I want to emphasize to your audience,
14:05David: we do have free valet parking.
14:07David: So that's something that I want to make sure that you know.
14:11David: And the rest of your audience knows that you pull up to in front of good people.
14:15David: We've got free valet parking.
14:17David: That's part of the deal, along with all the other accoutrements
14:21David: that come with the with the ticket price.
14:24David: I know that parking here at Good People can be a challenge.
14:27David: And so we've tried to take that challenge out of it.
14:30Gary: Definitely won't be making that mistake again.
14:33Gary: And so what I'm seeing is it's $60 in advance, $70 at the door.
14:37Gary: And what exactly like does that get you in the pack
14:40David: that they're going to hand you at the door?
14:42David: Yeah. So great question.
14:44David: And what we're really trying to do is provide, you know,
14:47David: your audience just a great value.
14:49David: So for that $60 in advance, you get access to the event.
14:53David: You'll get to two beer tickets, so you'll get two drinks there at Good People.
14:58David: So whatever it is that you want from the bar.
15:01David: We've got Porky's Pride.
15:02David: That's going to be the food truck.
15:04David: And so you'll be able to get a meal with that.
15:07David: As I mentioned before, you also get free valet parking.
15:10David: And then thanks to cigars and more, we couldn't do this without them.
15:16David: Everyone is part of the ticket package will get a sampler of cigars.
15:22David: If you think about that, two to three hours worth of entertainment on a Monday,
15:28David: two beers, dinner, parking, you know, and three or four cigars.
15:33Gary: I don't think you can find a better deal.
15:35Gary: Sounds like it. I mean, I've had a great time every time I've been.
15:38Gary: The people are wonderful.
15:40Gary: I remember the first year I went, we got rained out hardcore.
15:43Gary: Oh, yeah. We still were all there.
15:45Gary: We all huddled under the thing.
15:46Gary: It's it doesn't stop it from happening.
15:48David: Rain or shine, be there.
15:50David: Yeah, rain or shine.
15:51David: We do it outside.
15:52David: So we in the loading dock, the old loading dock for good people.
15:56David: So it's outside.
15:57David: So if you guys want to light up, you know, we're we do this event so you can.
16:03David: Can't you buy more raffle tickets while you're there?
16:05David: Is that right? Yes.
16:06David: So that ticket price gets you into the door.
16:09David: The way we operate, we've got one set of live auction items.
16:13David: So we'll be doing that in a traditional live auction format.
16:17David: And then we've got several raffle opportunities for for everybody.
16:21David: Packages will vary at the low end.
16:24David: We'll have what we call a card raffle.
16:27David: So or a banner, a banner raffle.
16:29David: And that will be twenty dollars for a ticket.
16:32David: And basically, we go through a deck of cards and then we give away a prize.
16:36David: And once we finish that deck, we we roll up another one.
16:39David: So 20 bucks, it's a value,
16:42David: you know, a value for people that don't want to spend a whole lot.
16:45David: And for the raffle tables, we've got two packages available.
16:48David: One is one hundred fifty dollars, which will give you tickets
16:53David: to apply to our raffle tables, which are also I think we've got a pretty good
16:57David: spread for the raffle tables.
17:00David: The three hundred dollar package, we're only selling 30 of them.
17:04David: Wow. With that package, you will get a ticket for a one and thirty chance
17:09David: at a special gun.
17:11David: And let me let me pull that up just to.
17:14David: Oh, you've got I've got the the list here.
17:16David: So you can. Wow.
17:18David: I'll be I'll be a little bit more specific than I was able to be last year.
17:23David: Come on, come on.
17:25David: For that, for that one and thirty chance, that's going to be at
17:28David: for a Benelli super black eagle.
17:31David: We want to gauge all three hundred dollars
17:35David: will give you a lot of raffle tickets for all the tables.
17:39David: And we've got some really good tables, plus a one and thirty chance at that
17:44David: at that gun.
17:45David: The there's one other raffle that I want to mention, and that is
17:51David: we call the bottle raffle.
17:52David: So we've got some special bourbon bottles
17:55David: that are going to be etched with our logo on it.
17:59David: And there's only to ask about that one.
18:00David: It's only going to be 10 bottles.
18:03David: So what that bottle does, and it'll be three hundred fifty dollars for that.
18:07David: That'll give you a one in ten chance at a Christensen Mesa
18:12David: honey rifle. I think that's in six point five Creedmoor.
18:15David: It's a really nice gun.
18:17David: It also includes a loophole scope on it.
18:21David: It's it's really nice.
18:22David: So that'll be a one in ten chance at being able to get that firearm.
18:27David: I don't think that our prices are unreasonable.
18:29David: And what you get for it is going to be pretty nice.
18:33Gary: We talk about raffle and the whole event and everything like that.
18:35Gary: And it being reasonable.
18:38Gary: What are the funds going to not maybe not exactly, but specifically
18:42Gary: so they can know exactly where these raffle money gets applied to?
18:49David: Thank you so much for that question, because this is a Ducks Unlimited event.
18:53David: And the money raised by Ducks Unlimited goes into
18:57David: habitat conservation for waterfowl, specifically
19:02David: into the wetlands here in all of North America.
19:06David: The way Ducks Unlimited operates is we go out and try to influence
19:12David: the preservation, conservation and use of America's wetlands
19:16David: along the along the waterfowl flyways.
19:20David: I've got some statistics here, but last year in Alabama,
19:24David: we raised almost seven hundred thousand dollars, of which you and your
19:29David: viewers that came to the event helped to contribute to last year.
19:33David: This year, it's been a great year.
19:35David: I think we're up over a million dollars for this fiscal year.
19:40David: This event will really this event will contribute to that.
19:43David: Now, one of the things that you'll also need to know that Ducks
19:47David: Unlimited does a really good job with the fundraising.
19:50David: Over 88 percent of the funds raised by, you know,
19:55David: by volunteers like myself and my team go back into the ground
19:59David: or into programs to help preserve the wetlands.
20:04David: A real high efficiency there.
20:06David: On top of that, we work really well with state
20:10David: and federal agencies, both in the United States and in Canada
20:14David: and also Mexico, to help match those dollars.
20:18David: The dollars that we raise on that Monday night on the 24th,
20:23David: really, you can multiply that almost by four to know what the true impact
20:28David: of that that money is going to be.
20:29David: And it will be applied both here in the state of Alabama,
20:33David: as well as where our ducks and waterfowl come from.
20:37David: Right now, they're in their breeding season up in a lot of the ducks
20:40David: that we end up seeing here in Alabama from Ontario.
20:44David: So that's where the money goes to help make sure that those areas are concerned.
20:49David: It's a good cause.
20:50David: It helps out the waterfowl.
20:52David: But in addition to that, the wetlands are Mother Nature's kidneys.
20:56David: So if you like, you know, clean water, you know, this has a lot of impacts
21:01David: across a lot of things, not just waterfowl.
21:04David: So appreciate your all support.
21:07Gary: Very, very much appreciated from you as well, sir.
21:10Devin: The other question is not going to buy it.
21:12Devin: He's not going to buy it. Don't worry. He's OK.
21:15Gary: The other question I had was kind of the counter question of that,
21:18Gary: because obviously this this was set up to help.
21:22Gary: Hypothetically, if it hadn't have come around and you guys
21:24Gary: aren't doing what you're doing,
21:26David: where what do you think the state of all that would be right now?
21:29David: That's a really good question.
21:32David: And probably, you know, when you think about the development
21:35David: that's happened in America's wetlands, a lot of them, you know, would be disappearing.
21:40David: If it if it weren't for volunteers to step in
21:44David: and to make sure that, you know, the habitat remains around for for the waterfowl,
21:50David: but not just for the waterfowl, but for everything.
21:53David: And Ducks Unlimited, it's not
21:56David: it's a conservation organization, not a preservation organization.
22:00David: So we work with businesses, farmers, agriculture
22:06David: so that we're using the land in a good way,
22:08David: but in a way that is going to provide habitat for the wildlife so they don't disappear.
22:14Gary: You're talking long term.
22:15Gary: This is long term planning and you couldn't ask for anything better.
22:19Gary: I'll be honest with you.
22:20Gary: You're it does good and we get to have a good event.
22:23David: I mean, there's that's a win win.
22:25David: Well, yeah.
22:26David: So, I mean, that's the name of the game is obviously as an organizer,
22:31David: I want to raise a lot of money.
22:33David: But we also want to make this a great experience for the people that show up.
22:38David: We understand that this group may not be duck hunters.
22:44David: May not be waterfowlers.
22:45David: And that's fine. It's you come on out.
22:48David: We've got stuff for everybody.
22:50David: As I've told some people, we might be better called be called the ATF
22:54David: chapter because we're going to provide, you know, alcohol, tobacco and firearms.
22:59David: You know, if you like one or any combination of three,
23:01David: you are going to find something that you'll enjoy at this event,
23:06David: as well as, you know, we've got stuff for the significant other or
23:11David: and one of our most popular tables is tailgating table.
23:13David: So, yeah, that's a winner.
23:16David: Take all we're going to give you a tent, a couple of chairs, cooler stove.
23:20David: I'm working on getting a TV for the event.
23:24David: That's winner take all.
23:25Gary: And you get to get to take that home.
23:28Gary: Gotcha. Yeah, that's a buddy of mine.
23:31Gary: He was there last year and he did the banner one for 20 bucks.
23:34Gary: He took home a pellet grill.
23:35Gary: Oh, yeah. But yeah. Yep.
23:39Gary: OK. How about that?
23:41Gary: Well, I think that hits a lot of notes there.
23:44Gary: I think we're looking good so far.
23:45Gary: What are some of the other major sponsors that help out with this
23:48David: besides good people and yourself?
23:50David: Yeah. So good people, they give us the event, the space to use.
23:55David: And they've been a great partner.
23:57David: Cigars and more.
23:58David: We could not do this event without without them,
24:02David: because they do provide the cigars, the samplers that
24:07David: everyone's going to get a chance to chance to enjoy.
24:10David: Watts Realty is who provides us the the valet parking.
24:15David: So, again, that's one of those things we couldn't do it do it without them.
24:19David: And then we're getting donations from from Nichols, from Bass Pro,
24:25David: Precision Tactical, as well as Hoover Tactical.
24:28David: And I just heard you like this kind of late breaking news for
24:32David: I'm not going to probably have this for everybody,
24:36David: but for a lot of the folks who come in early, they're going to be able to get a
24:40David: a one day free pass to to Hoover Tactical.
24:44David: So that's that's another thing that we're going to try to try to provide folks.
24:49David: So got a lot of a lot of good support from local local vendors
24:53David: around here that are being able to provide some really quality stuff.
24:58David: Yeah. OK. And we're not and we're not done yet.
25:01David: So there's probably going to be some some stuff that we're going to get
25:04Gary: in the next couple of weeks that'll add to it.
25:07Gary: Right. So this is just the tip of a proverbial iceberg.
25:11Gary: That's right. Things that are going to happen.
25:14Gary: Well, we appreciate you stopping out telling us all about this.
25:17David: Do we have any more to add there, Mr. John?
25:19David: And the interview is yours.
25:20David: OK. OK. Dave, how long
25:24David: ducks and limit been around?
25:25David: OK. Another good question.
o the organization started in:25:30David: Really? A group of duck hunters.
25:32David: This is during the Dust Bowl era.
25:34David: And also, there was a lot of market hunting that was going on.
25:37David: It was just wiping out the ducks during that era.
25:41David: This group of duck hunters came together and just said, we got to change.
25:45David: We got to change the tone here.
25:47David: We got to do something.
25:48David: Otherwise, we're going to lose this great natural resource.
25:50David: And so that's where it started a long time ago.
25:53Devin: OK. Yeah, I spent a while.
25:54Devin: Now, are you guys associated also with the clothing line?
25:57David: That's Ducks Unlimited Clothing Line.
25:59David: Yeah. So the logo, the trademark logo stuff.
26:02David: Yep. And we've got some.
26:04David: And we're going to have some branded merchandise
26:06David: that will be given away at this event, too.
26:09David: So we'll have a we'll have a mix of stuff.
to your point over the since:26:19David: Ducks Unlimited will cap over six billion dollars raised
26:23David: and volunteer fund raising over over those years.
26:28David: A lot of great support from a lot of great people doing
26:30Devin: doing some really good stuff.
26:33Devin: And you guys have grown exponentially over that particular time.
26:37Devin: Right. And the awareness, I think that every that comes out of each year
26:41Devin: that you guys do this right here, man, it's it's especially when the
26:47Devin: when the raffles go crazy, man, oh, man, you know, that stuff right there.
26:52Devin: People start talking. Well, you hear Devin, you know, and of course, I myself,
26:56Devin: I was at the very first annual event of the of the event when
27:01Devin: when when you guys were at the one out on 280.
27:04Devin: Right. Over there.
27:05Devin: And Superior Grill, I believe it was.
27:08Devin: Yeah, Superior Grill. Right. Wow.
27:10Devin: Yeah, that was a ball right there.
27:12Devin: And that got a lot of publicity.
27:14Devin: Man, that got a ton of publicity.
27:16Devin: I will just say something right quick like here, Dave.
27:19Devin: I actually found one of the clothing lines here that you guys
27:24Devin: this very appealing in some sense here.
27:26Devin: And it's it's actually one of the camouflage clothing lines right here
27:31Devin: by the Ducks, do you I got to say it's it's quite
27:36Devin: it's quite revealing there.
27:37Devin: I just didn't know whether or not that was going to be at the event or not.
27:42Devin: I wasn't sure.
27:43Gary: I wouldn't quite count on that.
27:45Gary: But OK, all right. OK.
27:47Gary: Well, the audio listeners are loving not having any idea
27:51Gary: what we're talking about right now. This is wonderful.
27:53Devin: I was looking I was looking up your clothing line there
27:58Devin: and I was like, oh, that's pretty.
27:59Gary: And then that run across and I said, OK, all right.
28:02Gary: Well, you should come dress like that there, Gary. Yeah.
28:05Devin: Yeah. And just burn retinas from here to the sun.
28:09Devin: Yeah, that will do it right there.
28:11Devin: Dave, thank you.
28:11Devin: I appreciate everything what you have you guys done.
28:16Devin: I've got some dear, dear good friends
28:18Devin: in that particular organization for the other companies over there.
28:22Devin: They're actually working for the per se enemy, if you will.
28:25Devin: But nevertheless, Jeff Alverson, Bob Sollentroff,
28:31Devin: all those guys, we go back a long ways.
28:34Devin: Ralph Welch and we go back a long ways for for for what you guys do.
28:40Devin: And they have pushed the fool out of this thing each and every year.
28:45Devin: So that's a good group to be associated with right there.
28:48John: It is. And I don't think there's anything wrong
28:51John: with saying the name of that other company because they are an official sponsor
28:55John: and they're on the flyer along with us.
28:56David: Is that Bellicoso? Bellicoso.
28:58David: Cigars. So yes, sir.
29:00David: Well, and I'll tell you, Bob, since you mentioned his name,
29:04David: just like, you know, he's not just a member of this chapter,
29:07David: but he's now the state chairman for Ducks Unlimited within within Alabama.
29:12David: So why? It's great.
29:14David: It's great having him as as part of this.
29:18David: And and this is getting some visibility across the state.
29:22Devin: Good. Great. You picked a you picked a good one.
29:25Devin: I'm telling you, you picked a good one.
29:27Devin: So that's great.
29:28Devin: He's going to make leaps and bounds in the organization from time to come.
29:33David: Yeah, very good.
29:34David: Well, I'd love to have you and your entire audience come out
29:37David: to see us on on the 24th and have a great time.
29:42David: Spend it. Spend a little money.
29:43David: Hopefully get something out of it and then have a good time.
29:48Devin: You know, you'll see the five of us there. You'll see it.
29:52Devin: Well, we appreciate your time today.
29:54Devin: Very much so. And I know the sacrifice is on your end,
29:58Devin: but we really do.
29:59Devin: We appreciate your time and efforts in doing this right here.
30:02Devin: And if you can, again, my name is Gary.
30:04Devin: And if you see those guys over there, just tell them I said hello.
30:07David: We'll see them during the event.
30:09David: I sure will.
30:11David: I'm getting ready to step into a planning meeting right now.
30:14John: All right. Well, thank you, Mr. David.
30:16John: All right. Well, you guys have a great afternoon.
30:20John: You too. Thank you.
30:22John: Thanks a lot, David. I'll be in touch.
30:24John: All right. Thanks. Take care, Dave.
30:27John: I really want to thank David for joining us and doing that interview.
30:30John: I know I kind of stayed quiet through all of it as allowing Devon's
30:34John: superior interview skills to take hold there.
30:37John: I thought I did pretty well.
30:39John: I'm going to give me a minute while I take my boots off now.
30:42John: It's taking place at Good People and Good People has been around since like
30:45John: 08 and it's a great brewery.
30:48John: There's a little bit of story that a couple of sorry, Auburn alumni
30:54John: on home brewers couldn't take it anymore.
30:56John: They created their own beer.
30:59John: Good People. It was a little bit stronger than the state's six percent cap.
31:04John: These guys did a lot to help change that.
31:06John: So the microbrewery explosion
31:11John: in Alabama can almost be traced back to Good People.
31:13John: I just wanted to throw that in. Is that right?
31:15Devin: Correct. Good job. Yes, sir.
31:17John: They were one of the originals.
31:19John: They've got a really long history that you really have to dig for.
31:22John: I think their story is fascinating and it should be on their website.
31:25John: What would I know about marketing and social media and publicizing things?
31:30Gary: Nothing. Nothing at all.
31:32John: Let's get them on here one day.
31:33John: Yeah, maybe maybe I can reach out to them.
31:36John: Maybe before the event, maybe we're going to end up doing a month.
31:39Gary: The April of Ducks Unlimited. Nice.
31:43Gary: I tell you what, I would like to record that podcast on site with beer in hand.
31:50Devin: I learned on my other podcast, don't drink on the podcast.
31:54Devin: Oh, wow.
31:56Devin: I'm going to counterculture to that because I'm drinking right now.
31:59Devin: Oh, there you are. Oh, my God.
32:01Devin: It ain't water.
32:02John: I imagine whiskey and friends enjoys a libation or two during the recording.
32:08Devin: That's right. That's right.
32:10Devin: I don't think do we have any distilled?
32:12Devin: We have do. Is there any distilleries here in Alabama?
32:15Devin: Yeah. Red Mountain or Redmont. Sorry.
32:17Devin: Is that right? No kidding.
32:19Gary: Red Mountain distillery. Red Redmont distillery. Yeah.
32:23Gary: Red. That's right next to Cahaba.
32:24John: Like it's we literally within walking distance, they use the same parking lot.
32:28John: Why?
32:29John: Cahaba uses their libation.
32:31John: A hundred years ago, everything in downtown Birmingham was within walking distance.
32:36Devin: It's true. True. Boy, I miss that.
32:39Gary: God, I miss that.
32:41Gary: He just said he was over.
32:42John: I was going to say, Gary, we know you're old, but I don't think we're quite that old.
32:47Devin: You don't know. I know. I don't know. But
32:54Devin: back then, they use my they use my posture as as part of the Vulcan up there.
33:01Devin: Back when you were fit and thin.
33:03Devin: Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
33:05Devin: Just the fingers, fingers on.
33:07Gary: That's what she said.
33:09Gary: So there we go.

34:09John: You don't have to give us money.
34:11John: You don't have to just tell a friend about the show.
34:14Devin: I mean, you can give us money if you want to, but we don't.
34:16Devin: We're not. Yeah, exactly.
34:18Devin: You buy us a cigar if you want to or drink if you want to.
34:20Gary: We don't mind. Hey, hey.
34:22Gary: Somebody emails in.
34:23Gary: I'd like to I'd like to take Devin out for a drink sometime
34:27Gary: to smoke cigars and stuff. Yeah, sure. Yeah, let's do it.
34:31Devin: You mean emails us a cigar is it smoking underground dot com?
34:36Devin: Yeah, exactly.
34:37Devin: See, easy is like it all rolls together in one giant cigar. Right.
34:43Devin: That's which, you know, and you got a brother forever after that,
34:46John: which in my mind, that cigar that it all gets rolled into is a Camacho Candela.
34:50John: I can't remind me.
34:50John: I wanted to order a new Candela and I forgot to a better double check
34:55Devin: and see if it's still available.
34:57Devin: I still have my hemp cigar available.
34:59John: I just thought what you know.
35:00John: Unfortunately, cigars and more does carry the cigars,
35:03John: but they did not jump on to the small release of Candela's by that manufacturer.
35:10John: And we do think cigars and more of I told a fine cigars
35:13John: for sponsoring this podcast, providing it, helping put it together, backing us.
35:19John: They're actually who provide us our cigars for every episode.
35:24John: That's right. That's right.
35:25John: He's wonderful.
35:27John: I've got no legal happenings for you guys this week.
35:30John: I'll apologize. Just no legal lights.
35:33John: No, we've got that episode coming up that
35:37John: I kind of go to town on legal legal stuff.
35:39John: So we'll give you a break from this one.
35:41Gary: That one will be rolling around the corner here in a week or two.
35:45Gary: That's all right. We'll get it next week.
35:47Gary: So what was the date on the Ducks Unlimited
35:49Gary: one more time before we get towards the end here?
35:51John: Well, the quick wrap up of the Ducks Unlimited Monday, April 24th, six 30 to nine.
35:57John: And they do a really good job of ending it at nine.
35:59John: I mean, if you want to stay later, you can. But
36:02Gary: five thirty to eight, isn't it?
36:04Gary: Yeah, it's already done.
36:05Gary: It looks like five thirty five thirty.
36:08Gary: Yeah, and they do. They they wrap up quick.
36:09Gary: Because I remember the other events.
36:11Gary: They're like, OK, we're done.
36:12John: They're packing up and like sixty dollars in advance for tickets.
36:16John: You're going to get cigars worth 60 bucks.
36:19John: I guarantee you that. That's what last year.
36:21John: Plus, you're going to get the food.
36:22John: You're going to get a couple of beers. Parking's handled for you.
36:26John: That's the worst thing about going downtown.
36:29John: I'm assuming there's no baseball game that night.
36:32John: So God, I hope not.
36:34John: Not not not really our problem, because we don't have to worry about parking.
36:39John: And then I can't remember Porky's.
36:41John: We were talking about pigs. Porky's Porky's food truck was there.
36:45John: And they fell a little bit behind last year, but they got it handled and
36:50John: wasn't wasn't too bad.
36:52Gary: Barbecue. It's a great event with the beer.
36:55Gary: And I'll be honest with you.
36:56Gary: Oh, nice, man. Good. Good deal.
37:00Gary: And I highly encourage the event because like my buddy Garth, no joke,
37:04Gary: he put in one twenty dollar ticket and got it.
37:07John: And Devin didn't buy any tickets and got towed.
37:10John: That is accurate. That is accurate.
37:14John: That is accurate.
37:15John: I didn't know about that till tonight.
37:18John: I remember him telling me about this great parking spot he found, blah, blah, blah.
37:21John: And I'm wedged into this alley.
37:24Gary: And yep.
37:26Gary: Oh, no.
37:27Devin: One hundred and thirty five dollars.
37:31Devin: Oh, wow.
37:32Devin: And that could have been you could have won.
37:35Devin: You could have won the pellet grill.
37:36Gary: I tell you, if I had to want a rifle or something, I would have gone.
37:39Gary: I don't even care.
37:40Devin: I don't even care. Oh, man.
37:42Devin: Well, that was an over to spend money.
37:44John: Say, had I won a rifle, I wouldn't care.
37:48John: We can construe that a couple of different ways.
37:51John: They do not provide ammunition at the event.
37:53Gary: Remember? No, they do not.
37:56Gary: I'm saying if I had to want a big time item like that,
37:59Gary: I would have been like, yeah, hundred and thirty three dollars.
38:01John: I'm good. I'm coming out way on top tonight.
38:03John: Good. Yeah, right. Right.
38:05John: You should have submitted that to Harris.
38:08Gary: It's a podcast expense.
38:10Gary: Yeah, right.
38:12Gary: Oh, hey, it's not a bad idea.
38:15Gary: I didn't think about that.
38:15John: I was just like, I guarantee you, when I go to a car event for my car podcast,
38:21John: that all goes into the business business expenses.
38:24John: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Park there again this year, Dave.
38:27John: Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.
38:29John: What we think of the 20 acre farm, you know, I smoked it a week or two ago.
38:34John: By the way, I've taken to usually I have a long drive home on
38:38John: when I'm coming back from on the road and I've taken to smoking
38:41John: at least a cigar in the car.
38:44John: I bought a little 12 volt USB powered HEPA filter thing.
38:49John: Did you? I let it run all the time, even when I'm not smoking it.
38:53John: But while I'm driving, which I'm in the car five hours a day,
38:57John: so it's running all the time and I do the window cracking thing.
39:01John: The following day, you can kind of get a touch of cigar odor.
39:05John: But by the end of the day, it's pretty much eaten up.
39:07John: I'm happy with that.
39:09John: We'll have a link to that little HEPA filter.
39:11John: It's like I don't do any of that.
39:13John: It's like 20 bucks.
39:14John: We'll have a link to it on the shop on smoking underground.com.
39:18Gary: Yeah, I may have to actually try that out because I use
39:21Gary: we'll have a whole episode about how to smoke in your vehicle
39:24Gary: and other places like that, because I've been doing a lot of research on that.
39:27John: When I order that Candela, I'm ordering some of their odor absorbing gel.
39:32John: If you buy two, you get one free.
39:34John: So it's like 20 bucks for three of these things.
39:37John: And it works really well.
39:38John: Just in the summer, it turns to liquid really quick in a car in Alabama.
39:43Gary: OK, better.
39:45Gary: Well, you send me the link for that as well, because I'd love to be able
39:48Gary: to give it a hand hand review of that HEPA filter of all that kind of stuff.
39:51Gary: Because when we do an episode about filtration,
39:54Gary: I think it would be an excellent check on it, because like in my truck,
39:59Gary: I don't use any filter except for that.
40:01Gary: I forget the name of it, but it's a little puck that helps to do that with.
40:04Gary: And it's a it's a neat aspect to think that you could smoke in your vehicle
40:08Gary: and it still smelled just fine. Anybody can get it.
40:11John: Yeah, I learned today and I don't have a lot of details.
40:14John: Audi employs five people,
40:17John: and their job is to smell the interiors of every Audi produced
40:23John: to verify that the smells are correct.
40:28John: Wow. What?
40:31John: Because the different fabrics and stuff that they use for interiors,
40:35John: they want to make sure the leather smells leather.
40:39John: There's not an overpowering scent of glue or something.
40:43John: So there's five people on staff at Audi that their jobs.
40:47John: And I don't know if they do it to every single car that's produced,
40:50John: but they're steering wheel sniffers.
40:53Gary: Yeah, I think that's that.
40:54Gary: That's all they do.
40:56Gary: Like they get paid like sixty thousand dollars a year.
40:59Devin: And all they do is smell.
41:01Devin: I bet they get paid more than sixty thousand dollars a year.
41:05Devin: As engineers. Yeah, they get paid more than that.
41:09Devin: No, I bet that is all they do.
41:13Devin: Yeah, I tell you what I was impressed with, John,
41:15Devin: you saying that right there when I was down at Mercedes,
41:18Devin: walked into a particular area where the engineers did audio
41:23Devin: and they had this particular area right there where you can move speakers around
41:28Devin: and get these particular the the engineering of where the speakers would go
41:34Devin: in a particular, you know, automobile.
41:37Devin: In this particular case, we're in Alabama.
41:39Devin: So advanced, they did the M class down there.
41:42Devin: When I was there.
41:43Devin: Wow. So they they literally had the engineering where they could move stuff around.
41:47Devin: That was fascinating.
41:49Devin: That was very fascinating.
41:51John: And now with AI and the computer control stuff that's out,
41:54John: they can put the speakers anywhere in the car.
41:57John: And then they just position a couple of microphones like near the driver
42:00John: and near the passenger.
42:02John: And you it can optimize the sound by delaying the signal to the speakers.
42:08John: Wow. That's pretty cool.
42:10John: That's crazy. Yeah.
42:11John: We used to get a little bit into that years ago when I got it,
42:15John: it was in the car stereo or you'd put a capacitor or something
42:19John: to just slow a signal, get it to a certain speaker.
42:22John: And then when I was doing home theater in the mid 90s,
42:26John: you could set up two microsecond or three microsecond or millisecond
42:31John: delay for the rear speakers or the front speakers or the signal
42:36John: gets sent to the rear speakers just prior to the front speakers.
42:39John: So that the sound arrived at your sweet listening spot
42:43Devin: at the same point in time.
42:45Devin: Yeah. Yeah.
42:47Devin: Audio engineering is a very big deal.
42:50Devin: It's a huge, man. Huge.
42:53John: Yeah. Sounds sound therapy.
42:55John: So what did you guys we got?
42:56John: Well, I got way distracted and I went way off topic.
42:59John: What did you guys think of that?
43:01John: The 20 acre farm or boost, so after you've now smoked it a little bit on the show
John: and we retail it for:43:11Gary: Well, it's definitely not an Alfonso, obviously.
43:14Gary: I would say that if you didn't want to pay the thirty five dollars
43:18Gary: for an Alfonso and you wanted something similar in a similar vein,
43:23Gary: you'd definitely hit the right mark on this.
43:25Gary: It's got all the great notes when it comes to the sun, the golden sun grown.
43:31Gary: It's got a nice lightweight flavor to it.
43:34Gary: The the ring gauge of this one is perfect.
43:36Gary: I'm using a wide mouth punch on mine.
43:39Gary: I got to say everything about this has been spectacular.
43:42Gary: I'm hoping I can get a few more of these.
43:44Gary: I think I'm going to add this to my repertoire of cigars.
43:48John: Now, I'm reading this little history on that cigar.
43:51John: Majestic Florida sun grown leaf, which is actually grown
43:55John: in central Florida in a town called Claremont
44:00John: on a 20 acre plot of land.
44:03John: That's pretty cool.
44:03Gary: I love the fact that it has a US grown leaf in it.
44:07Gary: I love that. I absolutely love that.
44:10Devin: The seed that they're using for Florida sungrowns a Sumatra. Right.
44:14Devin: I know that because I've got some.
44:16John: It's pretty neat.
44:18John: Rower, which I unfortunately I cannot pronounce his last name, Jeff Boyerski.
44:23John: Boyer is it wits.
d the Corona Cigar Company in: tobacco on the small farm in:44:36John: with hopes of reviving tobaccos from the Sunshine State, as it says,
ar tobaccos that had ended in:44:46John: So it's something he's trying to revitalize 30, 40 years later.
44:51John: It's great.
44:53John: Good, good, good.
44:54John: He's doing a good job so far.
44:55John: If you haven't had it, it's pretty good.
44:57John: It's only been on the market for about four months right now.
45:00Gary: Yeah, it's very nice.
And I'm telling you that that:45:05Gary: that you can get more.
45:07Gary: You could definitely charge more.
45:08John: Dead on me.
45:09John: Heck yeah. We probably will.
45:11John: Yeah.
45:12Devin: If it. Yeah, by all means.
45:15Devin: Yeah. If it was a beer, it would probably be a good logger.
45:18Gary: Yeah. You know. Yeah.
45:20Devin: I could see that. You know.
45:22Devin: Yeah. Well, that was a good.
45:23Devin: That's a good stick, though. Sure is.
45:25Gary: Well, a special thanks to Mr.
45:27Gary: David Patton at Ducks Unlimited.
45:29Gary: I thank you, Gary. Thank you, John.
45:31Gary: John, you do a lot of work.
45:32Gary: We really do appreciate it.
45:33Gary: Yes, you do. And God bless you.
45:35Gary: And make sure you guys subscribe to the podcast
45:39Gary: and all of your favorite podcast locations, whatever device.
45:42Gary: And like we said, tell a friend, you know, just tell them, hey,
45:45Gary: I got a good podcast here about some guys talking about cigars and events.
45:49Gary: And just just share it around.
45:51Gary: That's all you got to do.
45:52Gary: Just somebody somebody else, you know, who smokes don't have to have them.
45:55Gary: Anything. Just send them the link.
45:57Gary: Say, hey, you should take a listen to this.
45:59Gary: Now you got that's it.
46:00Gary: That's all it takes. That's it.
46:02Gary: It's like it's like John's face.
46:04Devin: That's it. That's all you get.
46:06Devin: You can't handle anymore.
46:08Devin: That's like the truth.
46:10Devin: You can't handle the truth.
46:12Devin: You can't handle the truth.
46:14Devin: It's like rich wagyu beef.
46:17Devin: You know, you can only handle so much, you know, but it's so good.
46:20John: So, you know, so it can only afford so much.
46:24John: Not not all of us make the money.
46:26Devin: Gary, that's right.
46:29Devin: God, where did that come from?
46:30Gary: That's what we ask all the time.
46:33Gary: Exactly. Oh, it comes in with gold chalices, you know, full of,
46:37Gary: you know, gold and slugger, you know, that's, you know,
46:40Gary: all this kind of fancy stuff.
46:41John: He's smoking a hundred dollar cigar.
46:43John: The reason Gary brought up the wagyu beef is that's what he will be serving
46:48John: and his next shift at Vitola on Saturday.
46:52Devin: No, I will.
46:53Devin: So you should be smoking up 300 pounds of it.
46:59Devin: Boy, I wished my hundred dollars a plate.
47:01John: The Chipotle lime glaze.
47:04John: Oh, stop it. I'm getting hungry.
47:07John: Don't pair your to go on the side.
47:09John: And I picked up some salad dressing this weekend in the mountains
47:13John: over in North Carolina.
47:14John: We were at the mountain house over the weekend.
47:15John: Bacon, maple, balsamic vinaigrette with something else in it.
47:21John: It's a little bit sweet, but it's damn, it's good.
47:24John: Oh, it was. Huh?
47:26John: That's the same place I get my chili jalapeno dip, which.
47:30John: I've compared it to fentanyl.
47:34John: What they must do is mix this up in a big vat and they throw some chilies in there
47:39John: because the last thing I got had just a light hint of chili.
47:44John: This one, I think I got all the chilies.
47:47John: It's hotter than hell.
47:50John: Wow. It's kind of like, you know, fentanyl.
47:52John: They mix it up in a bathtub.
47:53John: So your heroin gets some of it gets just a little bit.
47:56John: Other ones gets a big chunk.
47:58Gary: And that's where you owe the.
48:02Gary: So, OK.
48:03Gary: Thank you, everybody, for joining us today on our salad dressing episode
48:07Devin: of smoking underground.
48:10Devin: That's awesome. That's great.
48:12John: Stick around to the end. You'll never know what happens.
48:15Gary: You'll never know. I'm out of here, though, tonight, guys.
48:17Gary: Thanks a lot.
48:19Gary: All right, everybody.
48:20Gary: Thanks for joining us on Smoking Underground.
48:21Gary: Join us next time for the next exciting adventure of smoking underground.
48:24Gary: How many times can I say smoking underground in one sentence?
48:27Gary: All right. I'm a Vitola Saturday.
48:29Devin: Good night, everybody. Good night.
