I like to think that if I was ever the target of like a state hacking group, that they wouldn't publish

photos of me that indicated I had the most classic stupid person interests of all time.

I would like it if they published any photos that I'd taken of myself with other people

instead of just like having a great time with my friends who are out of shots.

Like I, if they published all of the saddest like R slash solo travel photos of my vacation,

because like I think they could be really rewarding, but like obviously that's a sort of like

maneuver in the information battle space to show us Cash Patel in Cuba.

Just kind of hanging out, you know?

Getting into cigars in the way that only the monumentally stupid are able to get into cigars.

Yeah, I'm kind of a cigar guy because I went to Cuba, you know?

Cool, man.

You know what?

I have unique insight into this, right?

Because me and Cash Patel and Zoran all hung out together. But like, we're all sort of like these kind of nerdy Gujarati kids who grew up in the West. And like, we were all sort of probably more influenced by kind of West Coast hip-hop music than we would like to admit. And we were like all bought into that gangster shit, right? And, you know, if I wasn't American, I didn't really have access to cigars.

And so, you know, when we were like pretending that we, like me and my, my other two buddies, like, you know, pretending that we were into rap music, like, we would like, try smoke those like shissy cheap-chips, cigars that you can get from, like, news agents. I can't remember what they're called. Oh, no. Yeah, like they tasted horrible, but we feel like the cigarillos, like him, the good, the bad and the ugly.

Yeah, like they tasted horrible, but we thought...

Like the cigarillos?

Like him, the good, the bad and the ugly? Yeah, we had, we had like the fucking cigarilla. I can't remember what the brand was called. It tasted, fucking, it tasted disgusting. But yeah, did we think that we were sort of gangster hanging out in, like, suburban Kent doing that? Absolutely. And when I saw Cash Patel with his like cigars,

that he also probably doesn't really like very much, like acting the way he does, I was just

like, I recognize a fellow brother. I recognize someone who like, you know, is under like the

immense pressure of kind of being from not a particularly cool diaspora group that desperately wants to be,

and probably was influenced by Harold and Kumar go to White Castle a lot more than they should
