The United States' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) made numerous unsuccessful attempts to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro. There were also attempts by Cuban exiles, sometimes in cooperation with the CIA. The 1975 Church Committee claimed eight proven CIA assassination attempts between 1960 and 1965. In 1976, President Gerald Ford issued an Executive Order banning political assassinations. In 2006, Fabián Escalante, former chief of Cuba's intelligence, stated that there had been 634 assassination schemes or attempts. The last known plot to assassinate Castro was by Cuban exiles in 2000.

Nicely played. Appreciate the timing.

So Tom gets to sit this one out so if the rest of them get canceled for this, Tom has to carry the podcast forward”

That thumping you kept hearing was Dana Carvey hearing Noah's Bush impression.

I’d honestly hoped they’d cover this topic at some point for the pure comedy of it, but yeah… timing.

Okay but Why did they need to design special goddamn poison? Poison just exists IRL, we didn’t need the Colonel's secret fucking blend. Rat poison probably would have been fine, and would be available to food service workers, presumably.

One of my favorite episodes you've done! That was the best joke, Eli. I had to brace myself to keep from falling over I was laughing so hard!

Animator Chuck Jones was running the CIA.

The opening bothered me.. So much I had to consider this response carefully.. If, as I understand it, any attack on Eli just brings misery to Cecil, an attack on Tom rebounds on to whom..? His Ex..? Phew.. Now I can sleep again..👍

I just wanted to post this here so that someone else might see it: you all should go back and listen to the opening sketch of the Salvation Army episode! I was listening to old episodes while doing spreadsheet work, and oh god damn is it excellent in light of new information! Wow

I give up. Burying a Cuban like a cigar? Penis joke? Can someone whose knees click explain the joke, please?

Bill Clinton liked to watch Monica Lewinsky masturbate with a (possibly Cuban) cigar.

Oh wow, that's new lore! I'm surprised this is the first time I've heard a joke about that aspect. Classic case of not being taught REAL history in school smh
