On today’s show we have the newest update in the AI challenge, What’s the hottest toy for Christmas 2025 . Even in Space there is traffic then over in the cigar world Midnight seems the right time to launch a cigar. Can we have more supreme leaf cigars please and ever get an ugly time for Christmas? Then a quick what’s the score!

We’re joined by Mo Maali of Patina Cigars for a wide-ranging interview that starts with cigars and quickly goes off the rails—in the best way possible. We dive into Patina’s recently released Red Pill cigar, breaking down the blend, the concept behind the project, and the messaging that sparked it all. What begins as a cigar review turns into a full rabbit-hole conversation touching on culture, perspective, and the need for change.

Patrol Gone Wild delivers chaos as usual, featuring a former UFC fighter tied to a massive drug bust, a wild and unfortunate headline involving actor Rob Reiner, and yet another reminder that criminals still don’t understand you cannot, in fact, outrun a helicopter.

Caleb’s News rounds things out with new release announcements from Viaje and Principle Cigars, while the whiskey segment looks at Garrison Brothers pushing the limits with the drop of a straight hazmat bottle.
