things you want.

Guess the score we have had a
few times.
You've dozed off during the
show.
Yes, tired a lot of comments

Costco burning down in Mexico
was fake.
Really.
Yeah.
Put out by Costco.
Mexico was fine.
It was the the Costco in Mexico

It was some cars, trucks and
motorcycles that were burned in
front of Costco.
Oh, maybe there's hope for that
cartel yet.
So they were eating the hot dogs

sense.
Maybe they were cooking the hot
dogs over the cars.
Yeah, it was a cookout.
Cookout Hey man, we need cook

All right.
Have you heard of the squatty?
We're on with the show.
Then we're just going to move
right on.
Unless you got somebody.
You want a phone call?
No, we'll call Jack again so we
can say bad things about me.
No, that didn't go well.
No, I just accept it now.
You're just good with it.
We just, we've beaten you to a
point where you just.
Accept I don't even fight back
anymore.
Like yes.
Hey, you familiar with Squatty
potty?
Yes.
Do you have a Squatty Potty?
I do not.
Phil, do you have a It seems
like somebody Phil would have Do
you have a Squatty Potty?
No.
That little stool you put in
front of the toilet?
We can raise your legs up so.
Raise your legs up so you poop
better.
Nope, you have a flow with your
poop.
It wasn't in that movie film.
A poop.
Squatty Potty.
Film a poop that porn movie you
did.
No, OK, all right.
The millionaire founder has been
charged in federal court.
Of the Squatty Potty.
Yes, the tell me it's money
laundering.
That'd be amazing.
What?
What?
What?
OK, it's not money laundering.
What is?
You want to try?
You want to try again.
Falsifying Squatty Potty rules.
Tax evasion.
Robert Bobby Edwards.
Oh wait, Epstein.
He's an Epstein guy.
No, we don't.
That would be funny, but no.
We don't, we don't arrest those
people.
We.
Don't arrest those people only
for the I.
Thought this was the first
arrest being made the squatty
potty guy.
As long as long as you brought
that up, there's a rumor that
Ellen DeGeneres is a cannibal
right there.
Oh my, really the?
Amount of trash I have to read
for this show.
That's but Epstein files have
put that that is a myth that is
not true.
She is not a cannibal.
She does not eat people.
Well.
I mean, I mean it.
Made sense when I was reading
it.
You're like, but then I'm like,
no, she eats people.
Well, there was.
I just somebody told me a story
and I don't know if it's true or
not.
About like the Jameson guy, the
like the founder of Jameson
Whiskey.
He would go to a place where he
would watch a person get eaten.
Makes sense?
Does it?
I don't know.
I don't know the guy.
Me neither.
But they show that the one
commercial where the barrel
falls off the boat and he jumps
in after it and then paddles
around.
So maybe.
And then he walks the person get
eaten.
Maybe it was like his thing.
Who knows how true that is?
All right, anyway, back to the
show.
Robert Bobby Edwards, 50, was
arrested for allegedly buying
and receiving countless images
of kiddie porn.
So you start a company, you
bring in your mom, your dad,
your brother, your cousin.
You go on Shark Tank, you hook
up with Lori, what's her name,
and she helps you make $12.3
million.
I have all this money.
What am I going to do?
Oh, why don't you just go on the
Dark Web by Kitty Born.
The children.
Let me look at the children.
Right, so from March 2021 to
November 2025, the US Attorney's
Office in the District of Utah.
Are you having problems in Utah?
Announced Monday.
The entrepreneur, whose product
promises to help users get off
the toilet, was indicted by the
federal grand jury on February
10th and arrested February 12th.
The FBI Cyber Division set up a
sting.
Went into one of these dark web
chat rooms where they're all
watching Kitty porn, right?
He was there.
There's a chat room of this.
Well, they say into a room.
I mean, I don't think, I don't
know if it was like into a real
room.
Had to be in some type of.
Or they're into a chat room and
his handle was Squatty Potty
woman I was.
Just going to say that.
You know I mean.
Dude, you took that.
You took the words right out of
my mouth and say what was his
username?
Squatty Potty.
Yeah, they say it was a chat
group for a chat room or they
went into a room.
They don't say, but they say
they saw everybody watching it
and he was one of them, right?
So I don't know if somebody
recognized him from Shark Tank
or something or I mean, dude.
Did that person get in trouble
that reported them 'cause they
were in there?
No, no, the FBI went in there.
They were the FBI.
They were the FBI.
So they set up a sting.
He bought some from the from the
FBI and poop and the pokey he
goes.
Dude, that's so weird.
Let's.
Get him and the subway guy to
fight to the death.
Oh, you know what I mean.
Oh, Jared.
Yeah, he didn't he get out.
I think he's out now.
No.
I think he's out.
They don't throw these people
under the jail.
No, no, Jared only got like 10
years or something with that.
He didn't get long.
Yeah, he didn't get much so.
But he did lose all the money
from Subway.
Subway still in prison.
You said Subway Still in prison.
Jared from Subway.
Jared Fogle?
Yes, he's still in prison.
Oh, he's still in.
Prison.
How many more years?
As early as 20, he's serving a
15 year, 8 month sentence. 15
years.
So he's expected to be released
2029.
Three more years.
He can finally get AI.
Don't understand how it doesn't
go, how it's not instant death,
you know what I mean?
Well.
That's what they say.
Child molesters and things get
get well, maybe Kitty porn's a
different level for prisoners.
I don't.
Know it's bad enough for me.
That's terrible.
Somebody beat him up.
How?
About we go after the people
making the Kitty porn that's.
A good that too, yeah.
Yeah, them too.
Tim Tebow's trying to solve all
of this, by the way.
He's on the case.
Oh, is he?
Is that his new thing?
Yeah.
Yeah, with the with the seal
group.
Oh, Seal Team Nine, no.
I don't think they have a
number.
They're just like the Seal team.
We kill Kitty porn people.
Excels.
With electric.
Kiddie porn people child
trafficking they they do child
they.
Child trafficking, there it
goes.
Child trafficking, it's a whole
different thing.
It's kind of similar.
Though that's pretty cool.
Yeah, well, they're.
Not making movies, they're just
trading them.
Oh, like Pokémon?
No, they what do you?
Think they're doing though.
Well, not videodaping.
You don't know that.
No, I don't know that.
Yeah.
Wait a second, do you know that?
No, I don't know that.
Why would I know that?
All right, we're on camera.
What's going on here?
Yeah.
Don't start insinuations.
Right.
I'm the third most famous person
in the cigar industry.
Are you?
That's what you said, yes.
Is that what he said on the on
the podcast?
Yes, Fuente, Bobby Newman, and
then me.
Oh wow.
Yeah, there you go.
Palmer did he say anything about
both of us?
Woody, who were you?
No, sorry Buzz, you weren't
mentioned.
Wow.
Well, I have not watched the
whole show, but no, you weren't
mentioned.
Wow.
He did mention Greg briefly.
That was like a.
Week ago, I don't remember
anything I said.
I wonder what year I started
getting mentioned.
Probably never.
Oh, that's very.
Hard one day when I got to keep
keep dangling the character.
Maybe one day.
One day, yeah.
Don't say ever.
He'll just leave.
It's going to it's, you know
it's going to happen.
Push.
Your own tan buttons.
It's been 15 years.
No one's your.
Name is say my real name.
You won't even acknowledge me as
a person.
Oh God.
Oh God, OK.
Alright, moving on.
Yeah, it's twisted and.
I think he's a bad man.
He's in jail.
And no more Squatty Potties.
I guess you know what?
And all of you people that own
the Squatty Potty help help your
contributing factor to this.
$12.3 million worth of squatty
potties.
I hope he can buy kiddie porn.
I hope your flow is was worth
it.
What's crazy is that he's being
thrown in jail and none of the
Epstein stuff is still.
Is it?
Is it crazy?
I mean, I would think that
anybody in the Epstein thing
would have been confronted and
arrested or detained.
There's been headlines about the
Clintons, but nothing exciting.
Yeah, I saw Hillary said that
she knows nothing about Epstein.
Right.
Yeah, that was the Hillary
thing.
Jeffrey never heard of her.
Jeffrey Epstein, I don't like
Jews.
I don't know him.
Oh my God.
Wow, she said.
Allegedly, I just heard check
that box.
What I heard.
No, no, there's nothing about
racial slurs.
Level 2 it's.
Just comedy.
It's just comedy.
Just comedy might not be good
comedy, but it's still comedy.
It's.
Funny.
It's good people.
Like, oh God, some people have
some people.
Some people come to our show for
that type of humor, Michael.
OK, baby you.
Don't want to make Hillary
threats?
This.
This could be your last episode.
Come get me.
Oh yeah, I'm alone in the I'm
whatever.
I'm looking at the light.
I'm alone in the house all
weekend.
Come get me.
That's what Maduro said, buddy,
and we came and got him.
True.
Yeah, so, you know, beware.
Of cowards, you won't come.
Beware what you wish for.
What are you going to do this
whole week in Palmer?
Nothing.
I'm doing nothing at all.
He's going to stab himself seven
times in the back and we're
called suicide.
I'm going to accidentally hang
myself after I slit my own
throat, yeah.
Don't say that.
There's a big tree in the
backyard.
Oh my God, All right, customers
complained, so the king
answered.
They're redoing the Whopper.
What the Are you serious?
Yes.
Why?
Customers complained they
didn't.
They don't like the Whopper.
They want a new Whopper.
Why?
What's wrong with the Whopper?
They don't like the bun.
What?
Burger King, home of the
Whopper, is making a first
change to its best selling menu
item in nearly ten years after
consumers complained the Whopper
replace its bun with more
premium one.
They use a new, creamier
mayonnaise they have.
It's in a new box.
Instead of pep, instead of
paper, they're making a new
Whopper.
It's in a box.
And now it's going to be coming
in a box like a Big Mac, I
guess.
I don't like any of this.
I like it the way it was.
You like it the way it was?
Yeah, well, we were supposed to
have some here to sample on the
show.
And what happened?
Somebody fell through, but we
they're on their way.
Well, I had some stuff going on,
I mean.
His wife hurt her ankle or
something went to the.
Hospital.
Oh my God.
She's only pregnant.
Yeah, right.
I know exactly.
She's only with child.
Right.
And she went with Dana.
So couldn't Dana take care?
Of it, I mean.
So he was he was on Whopper
detail.
He was on Whopper detail, yeah.
And he blew.
It he blew it.
I would have crushed A whopper
right now.
Oh, you're going to.
It's coming.
It's coming.
They're coming.
Doordashed it.
Yeah, he.
Door He door dashed it from the
bathroom.
OK that I told Parma to stall
but he sucks at Stalin.
Well I mean I dragged out the
guy with the kiddie porn as long
as I could.
I got accused of having to know
what stuff was.
Did she really hurt her ankle?
No, no, no, she really it's
pretty swollen, OK.
Yeah, at Bagel King, she slipped
down a bagel.
Because she had just left here.
Oh, did she?
Yeah, she said.
She went to go step out the car
and when she stepped down on her
step, it kind of moved and she
slipped and she fell down to the
ground and.
She fell to the ground.
It's a little swollen.
They call an ambulance.
That's not good.
No, no, she well, I told her I
was going to call one, but she
was like, no, that's
embarrassing.
She's like, I just have Dana
drive me.
You have to do your podcast.
I said.
I said, just let me get this out
of the way and then I'll come to
the hospital.
You know I'm going.
To say I said I said it on a lot
yesterday's episode, I'm gonna
say it again.
You know, she knows who she
married, you know what I mean?
Like, this is not, you know, and
I hope her ankle's OK because
this Friday you're going to be
down at the pub, DJ.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Oh, that's right, you can't walk
at.
Night like, are you shopping
around the house?
Are you good?
You got this because I got to
go.
I got to go with the pub.
The pub needs me.
I got to.
Make a little DJ boots.
Look, if people don't think
we're dedicated at this point,
like she's literally going to
the hospital right now, yeah,
we're dedicated.
This is this is your moment to
be dedicated.
Yeah, yeah.
Which is honorable.
Thank you.
Worst thing that happened to me,
What dog died and I showed up?
Yep, put the dog down.
Think that was the toughest one,
like, all right, let's go
record.
What about you?
Dad died.
And you still we recorded that
day, Yeah.
We talked about my dad on the
show.
Yeah, let me talk about my dad
for the whole show.
Listen.
That was a hard show.
I don't mean to nitpick here,
but think you won on that.
Just for the record, just
slipped.
We increased along the way
slipped ankle dead dog dead dad
and the winner is and boots
still feel the the.
Only other thing we can do is
one of the three of us die we.
Still do the show.
Oh my.
God, yeah.
During the show.
I'll do it.
I'll have a heart attack.
I'll do it.
I'll be fine.
Anyway, the burger's gonna roll
out in 7000.
Restaurants nationwide this
week.
So we have the original Whopper
and then when the new one comes,
we will get the new one.
OK, Unless they show up in a
box.
Unless we got lucky and then the
local place got a new one.
I doubt it.
I doubt, they said.
You know what, Deltona?
You know where we need the new
ones, Deltona, We're.
Gonna do it I.
Don't know there was one time
that like Deltona was the.
Whopper capital of the industry.
No, it was like the testing
ground.
Was that them calling saying
they're here?
Supposedly McDonald's making
like a new sandwich called the
Arch or something.
Oh yeah, yeah, I heard about
that.
When it comes out, we'll have
one.
Yeah, you know, what we should
do is we should just pivot and
just copy everything Coop does
and just make a food show.
Oh.
Just make a food show.
Yeah, it's just we're going to
cover food.
He's almost there.
This is exciting.
All right, well, the enhanced
Whopper will cost more.
It'll charge the franchise $4000
more a year, but they think they
will sell more of them.
It'll.
Cost them the the franchise.
Franchisees an extra $4000 a
year, so each each location will
charge, they're going to charge
them $4000.
Probably because of the box
instead of the wrapper.
Yeah, the box instead of the.
Paper the I don't know about all
that reinforced bun.
Sounds like it's a money grab
for the corporate power you know
well, you know it's good.
Good Mayo is on this one.
It's extra creamy.
We make it for you.
It's special.
We take the bun and we make it a
very good.
It's a very good it's a brioche.
It's a bun.
It's a croissant.
With the 17 little things on it.
There's little things, Sesame.
Seeds.
Sesame seeds.
Thank you.
I got the name in.
Seeds.
Is it 17 sesame seeds on?
It it's 17.
Is that what the song says?
No, it is.
The song I know you know the
song, Palmer.
It's a Big Mac bro.
It's a Big Mac the song.
To all beef Patty special.
Sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickled
onions on the steps to eat bun.
I knew, I knew he knew the song.
I got the I could do the first
two I can.
Do the whole thing.
They're advising their local
owners not to raise the prices.
Oh good, so now we're squeezing
them.
Inflation weary consumers
suggest that the investment will
drive up sales so more.
Hey, we don't want to get crazy
here, I want you to sell the
more expensive item for the same
price.
But and then give me $4000 to
the king.
Man, you know, now you should
see what happens on the cigar
industry.
This is.
Same thing.
It's terrible.
Yeah, prices go up every six
months.
Right.
For some companies, every three
months.
I'm curious to see Dr. prices
increase if they're doing that
15% blanketing tear of yada.
Yada, Oh yeah, 'cause now
they're going to start.
That that should start pelting
here pretty.
Soon.
Well, the ten it's going to be
10.
I thought it was 15.
No, now he's saying he's backing
it back down to 10.
Oh, he's walking at the. 10 he's
walking it back to. 10 May I
only get my news from you so
right?
Sorry.
You got to update me on these
things.
Does that mean you didn't know?
So you're talking about like
Fuente basically?
LFD.
Fuente, what's his name?
Fratello just went to the Dr. We
have that story.
Ventura, Henderson.
Ventura.
He's still trying to get his
money back from the voyage, so.
Yeah, still.
Still, all these years later.
Years later, still not getting
in, still hadn't come in yet.
You.
Got to write that off.
What he should have done is he
should have 1099 them.
Oh, there you go.
Just give it to him as a gift.
He goes 30K, There you go,
whatever it was.
Worth that on your taxes,
everybody.
Right, All right, moving on
because it's still not here yet.
OK, we'll stop and eat in a
minute.
Poop pills are a game changer
for treating cancer.
Nope.
They're taking fecal matter,
putting it in capsules, and it
helps with the side effects of
the radiation therapy.
OK, how did the how?
A pair of new Canadian clinical
trials show poop pills can
reduce the toxic side effects of
cancer medication.
Course the Canadians.
And even support patient
response to immunotherapy.
So you have I don't know who's
poop they're putting.
Eat the poop.
Eat the poop.
It's a these little brown
capsules.
Yeah.
Oh God.
Also known as crapsles.
This is like a pharmaceutical
grade centipede, right?
Fecal microbiotal transplant FMT
pills contain freeze dried fecal
matter and according to new
research published in Nature
Medicine, of course it's an all
natural thing.
Pooping poo may dramatically
improve cancer treatment, but
there's a side effect if you
take too much.
You're full of shit.
You can get colitis.
Yeah, this is retarded.
What are we doing?
They analyzed data from 20
patients.
The team found the customized
FMT may help relieve some of the
severe side effects associated
with immunotherapy.
Standard treatment for advanced
kidney cancer often includes an
immunotherapy drug that helps
the patient's immune system
tackle cancer.
Too much reading from the
teleprompter.
I'm sorry, there's medical
stuff.
I got to get this right.
You don't have to explain all
that.
You just say, hey, if you eat
too much poop, you get sick.

severe that patients must stop

I looked at you.
In a bad poop, it's bad poop.
How do you feel about eating
shit, Phil?
I don't know how this story made
our show I.
Mean do you eat pieces?
Of shit because I needed a third
story and it was a slow news
cycle.
So the only piece of news in
there was about eating poop.
You eat pieces of shit for.
Greg thought it was fascinating.
I ran the stories by Greg.
That's not a.
Surprise, of course.
Greg thought it was fascinating.
You eat pieces of shit for
breakfast, I eat pieces of shit
like you for breakfast.
You eat pieces of shit for
breakfast.

Saying, oh, that pill, yeah,

And I've been so hopeful this
whole time and now.
Sorry to burst your bubble there

Really could use a whopper about

I don't know what.
This guy's doing right now.
So do you have a video for us

Oh.

There was a guy in Canada that
was attacked by two turkeys.
But it was bad footage.
How do we not have and?
Then some lady pulls up, some
lady pulls up to him as he's
being chased by the turkeys and

We get stuff all the time.
Haven't the last new stuff.
We haven't got any of them.
What else haven't we gotten?
Whatever we talked about
yesterday.
What was that?
I don't remember.
I moved on.
I got to memorize this stuff.
You think I got to keep it?
Stuff you would never bring into
this humidor, that's what was.
Yesterday, third year in a row,
Roja cigars were released at
Living Edition Cigar to
celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
OK, you want it?
I'll go get it for you.
No, I don't want it.
I don't want to buy.
Three tacos.
Mexican holiday that falls on
May 5th.
There's a lot of a lot of time,
a lot of time.
Why are you breaking my balls?
It's a 6 by 54 Toro vitola made
with Ecuador and Habano wrapper,
Mexican San Andreas binder.
That makes sense.
It's a Mexican cigar.
Yeah.
And Phil's from Nicaragua, grown
in the Halapa region.
And Connecticut broad leaf grown
in the United States.
Well, you jam up on Jamistron,
so it's not halapa that you
screw.
I always get halapa right?
Yeah.
So they told half Will that the
amount of halapa tobacco in the
filler has been changed slightly
compared to 2025.
We make a little difference.
Really.
They post, oh, they produce it
their own factory.
Sounds like it's going to.
Be the same.
Looks like it's going to be the
same.
MSRP will be what, gentlemen?
Phil.
What are these like?
I think these are like what, $9
cigars?
I don't know.
Maybe like 9 bucks. 9.
Yeah. 12. 1250 Wow.
It's like I'm in the industry
and I know what I'm doing and
they're crazy. 2000 boxes or 40
thousandths ago.
Follow me from Work Knowledge
and Intel.
You have ashes all over you.
Thank you.
Nope.
No, there's still there's a lot.
You finally did it after all
these episodes, you gave me a
proper heads up.
All right, Fratello, who went to
the Dominican Republic to get
around the tariffs.
Finds himself.
Finds himself shipping cigars
with tariffs.
Right from yeah in his rocket
center.
Shipping the 1821 Dominican
Republic the first cigar in its
new puro collection that will
feature cigars made with tobacco
from a single country.
That way, no problem with the
tariff at all.
It's all Dominican.
Oh boy.
Oh sure, now they got a tariff.
Oh, so it's like the original
Opus X, You know, that's what
the Opus X was, was.
A tariff free cigar.
At one point it was all
Dominican tobacco.
Oh.
However, I don't think it's that
anymore.
I could be wrong, but they don't
really tell you anything about
the blends at this .0.
It's like Opus X.
We're actually doing an opus on
the what's the score today, so
we'll be able to tell if they
say what it is.
Oh, OK.
Yeah, it depends on what year it
is now.
And he's making all the cigars
at the La Aurora Cigar factory
in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
OK, it's a 6558 vitola.
What is the price?
Vitello Cigars 6558 12 cigars in
a box. $14.00.
Oh Fratello 18 bucks. 1821 Good
job there's a car outside
driving slowly.
I'm gonna.
Get it?
I'm gonna get.
It it's like you know what
you're doing and you're a part
of this industry.
There are plans for a series.
The mask off.
Why would you take the mask off?
There's plans for a series of
these cigars before we found out
they're going to be tariffs.
Is that what it says it?
Doesn't say anything about the
terrorists, but it says it was
slated for a series of cigars.
He's like son of A.
Next one will be the Fratello
18210 Nicaraguan.
So now he's going to a.
Different.
Oh, that's smart.
He's moving.
Well, maybe it's he likes.
Making cigars for places like he
did those state cigars.
Right now he's doing country
cigars.
He's just working in different
angles, right?
The project gets their names
from the year 1821, which is
when the Dominican Republic and
Nicaragua gained independence
from Spain.
There you go.
Look man, you got to try
something.
Yeah, you got to have an angle.
You got to do something.
Story sells.
I don't know if Greg Sells says
you got to sell the sizzle, not
the steak.
Yeah.
I don't know if 1821 is
something like yes.
Yeah, like everybody knows 1821,
what a good year that.
Was, you know, but maybe, maybe
it does.
Well, here comes Phil.
Here comes Phil with her thanks.
I'm not hungry, I'm hungry.
Did Phil have to pay for these
whoppers?
Yes, yeah, we don't make.
Money on the show.
Well, that's a reimburse him.
He just made a lot of money.
He didn't make a lot of money.
He did get a check.
You do make money on this show.
The Fratello's new releases will
be at it, says a 2025 PCA
convention.
Adreja.
Maybe that was late.
They were late.
Probably a glitch.
Oh, there a lot of typos lately
in the half wheel.
Lazy.
So what am I supposed to do with
this?
Do you want me to eat a whopper
right now on this pocket?
We're gonna eat a whopper, and
then when are they in paper?
They're in the.
Standard 1.
All right, well, this is the
original.
Then next week when they get the
new one, we will eat.
This is a whopper now.
We got Whopper juniors or
something you got to throw.
This look at this is the
saddest.
This reminds me of falling down.
Why is it remind?
Why is it a junior?
So we're broke, Michael.
It doesn't even have cheese.
No, you don't get cheese.
On you don't get cheese on a
Whopper.
You don't get cheese on a
Whopper.
No, there's no cheese on a
Whopper.
You.
This is ridiculous.
What is on this?
It's just a burger.
Pull all this crap off.
Yeah, pull this onion shit off
this.
Can't believe this is happening
right now.
You see the little amount of
lettuce?
There's lettuce.
Yeah, there's a little bit of
yellowish green stuff on it.
Whopper has cheese, no?
No, no, you have to add cheese
you.
Didn't even get real whoppers.
You got whopper juniors.
They're smaller.
It's a short show.
They're not redoing the
Whoppers, Whopper Juniors.
Yeah, they will.
It'll be a junior version of the
Whopper.
Yeah, it's going to be the same.
No, it's not.
Yes, it will be.
Yeah, Whoppers never had cheese
on it, just the Big Mac.
Big Mac has cheese.
You know what?
I believe you.
You're the fast food
connoisseur.
I couldn't tell you last time I
had Burger King.
Today sometimes because it's
smaller lines.
But I can't believe that we're
having it on the show.
This is ridiculous.
We thought you'd enjoy it,
right?
VI Skull and Bones Red returns
for 2026.
We're getting these right?
It's not bad.
Mayonnaise isn't creamy enough
for me.
Yeah, we're getting those.
We really, we really need
creamier mayonnaise.
We have some cream on your on
your list.
Somewhere around maybe?
A different bun would be good.
Somewhere around $4000 worth
annual per franchisee.
We must all be really hungry
because we're just fucking
pounding out these
opportunities.
Well.
I'm hungry.
I'm not really that hungry, I'm
just a savage.
For the first time in three
years, a trio of Fiahi, Skull
and Bones will soon ship to
stores.
Didn't we get you last year?
We got something with Skulls,
but it wasn't Skull and Bones.
Oh, you had like The Wolverine
stuff.
Yeah.
So we're getting the red big
Ivan, the red fat man, and the
red little boy.
Oh, that's not appropriate for
right now and.
The new The Fat Man and Little
Boy cigars.
Oh, those just came out in 2011.
That's two things for Palmer.
That's two strikes.
Yeah.
Why?
Isn't that two strikes?
They're not redoing the Whopper
Junior, which is just stupid,
but thanks for the food.
How do you know they're not
redoing They of course they're
redoing the Whopper junior.
'Cause they would have announced
it.
It's the junior of the whopper.
Whatever the big one is, it's
just a smaller one.
They're not going to redo it.
Yeah, they are.
No, they're going to keep that
one the same.
Oh, we'll see.
Don't you guys know anything
about marketing?
There's no way.
Yeah, but then they're going to
carry two kinds of mayonnaise.
Right.
Are they going?
Perfect.
This is exactly what I wanted
him to do 'cause I was about to
do it.
And you can't type.
All right, now my fingers are
greasy.
You found it?
Yeah, it was just a little bit.
Must be a new guy in there.
He's a little lazy.
Well, he knows these are short
lived so he doesn't care.
Yeah, we're doing it anyway, so
hopefully you hate this.
There has been no official
announcement to to suggest the
Whopper junior will receive the
same changes.
It's assumed.
Yeah, no, they're.
Not gonna find out in two weeks.
They're not gonna.
We'll find out in 2.
Weeks that would be $5000
annual.
No, it's not.
Then they carry two kinds of
mayonnaise, two kinds of buns.
Right, the buns are smaller.
They're not the same buns.
It's the same buns.
No, they're not.
Yeah, it is just they cut them
down you.
Want to hear a funny story?
I feel like the story's not
going to be funny.
Can you laugh anyways, though?
I'll pretend that it's funny.
Go ahead.
He's not.
Obama's not gonna laugh.
I'll laugh.
So Palmer was working the shop
this morning and every online
order that goes through I
approve.
So there was an order for
Posania Broadleaf Bellicosos 5
pack.
This isn't funny.
And he takes a picture of these
five cigars and he turns one
over so that I can verify that
it's the Bellicoso.
So it says it on the UPC.
And I look at them and they're
all Corona Gorda and it even
says on the UPC, the Corona
Gorda.
Oh my.
God.
And then I say to him, like,
dude, these aren't even the
right.
These aren't even close to the
right size.
Yeah, I mean, I can understand
if you didn't flip one over, but
you know.
Yeah, you flipped it over.
It says it on the.
It says it there.
It says it there.
So then he said, well, they were
in the wrong box.
And I'm like, the bellicosos are
pointy.
It's a smaller box.
And they're bigger.
Yeah.
Yeah, somebody put Coronas in
the Bellicoso box.
Brandon, who used to work here,
had walked in and I just scooped
them out and laid them out while
I was talking to Brandon that I
haven't seen in I don't know how
long and I didn't notice.
Oh, you missed them.
Is.
He always getting triggered
there.
I'm getting triggered.
I'm just explaining what
happened.
Look at the anger.
I'm angry you miss Brandon.
You miss Brandon I.
Miss that other show.
That other show was fun to do.
Brandon was on that show.
Yeah, he was our engineer.
Wow, what show?
The Chet and Palmer Show.
Oh.
This show's fun too, but that
was a different type of show.
He doesn't like this show.
He's trying to quit.
I've been doing.
It well, the other one he could
talk about sex, drugs and
rock'n'roll.
That is.
True, yeah.
Palmer's ready to retire.
You didn't want the Wednesdays
off, you know.
Right.
Maybe that's why Brandon came
in.
He's trying to infiltrate
Brandon to us.
He did offer he go, you want to
do the show again?
And I was like, no.
Did he really?
Yeah, I don't.
I don't have time, he doesn't
have time.
He's travelling.
All over the place.
Maybe just Wednesdays.
Maybe just Wednesdays.
I.
Don't have time for podcasts on
Wednesdays.
I have to do my other podcast.
There's a lot of information
about that cigar.
Alrighty, give Fray you.
You all ready now?
Are we all done eating now that
we just ate on the air?
It was great.
It was great.
We should have snack time.
Tell you what, I will still do
Wednesdays if we can have snack
time once a week.
I asked about food the other
day.
That's.
Right.
I thought maybe this was
Palmer's way of granting my
wish.
Texting people the the lighters
on the site are coming up price
0.
Dollars.
I don't know what to tell you.
Great, now Mikey's just giving
them away on the on the.
YouTube site, it's still $7000.
For a hat.
But we sold.
We sold.
All of them I would imagine for
0.
Of course, no.
Well, Mark Palmer bought 1.
And I was like, you could just
happen like, whatever, that's
fine, you know?
I mean, it's Mark Palmer, you
know?
Yeah, really.
It's riveting back.
Yeah.
So like.
People are contacting me saying
hey, these are $0.00.
Buy them all guys, get them when
you.
Can those are good customers?
I mean this is Miguel Rocha.
I was like hey dude I got 5 in
my.
Got 5 for.
Nothing.
It's costing me 995 for
shipping.
I'm like.
Yeah.
Shouldn't I get free shipping?
It's over $100, right?
No, they're $0.00.
That's right.
So you got to pay 10 bucks?
You bought 5 is that Buy one get
one half off.
Providers.
He would have to, yeah.
Yeah.
So he would get basically one
for free.
No, he'd get buy one and get
140% off.
Right, but he bought 5 of them.
It would be 1 big one, but he it
was one big 14 small ones.
I like that all of that jades
you.
Like doesn't jade me.
Yes it does.
No it doesn't.
There's something else you said.
Yes.
On yesterday's show, I was like,
man, he's just got to lighten
up.
So angry.
Ready for the industry's
favorite game?
I am at 38 minutes, yes.
What?
We dragged this out for a good
15 minutes.
I think we're good.
We had this delicious Whopper
Junior that won't be changing.
Can't wait to see the updated
Whopper Junior that'll be
exactly the same because it's
not changing.
Well, we're going to find out.
All right, there's nothing to
find out.
Sure we will in a week when we
get another one, yeah.
Dude, you guys, I can't believe
they removed gullible from the
dictionary.
I mean, it's gone.
It's not.
It's going to be the same thing.
All right, we'll.
Find out they remove gullible
from the dictionary.
Exactly.
Exactly.
All right, this cigar is from
March 26th, 2013, reviewed by
Brooks Whittington.
It's the Arturo Fuente Cigar,
Dominican Republic, Maine
reviews the Opus X football.
Champion first.
What year was it?
2013.
The Opus X football, but it's
Brooks.
I don't think he's a Fuente guy.
No, he's a Tetua 80. 4. 81.
Cigar reviewed the Fuente Opus X
football country of origin
Dominican Republic Factory Tablo
Calera, a Fuente rapper
Dominican Chateau de la Fuente,
Rosado and Maduro with an
asterisk.
I don't know what that means.
Binder Dominican Republic filler
Dominican Republic with an
asterisk.
Size 5 by 128.
Why does it have an asterisk?
I don't know.
Ring gauge.
I said 128.
The vitola.
It's a football.
Estimated price $500. $500.
Yes, released in 2013.
He smoked one.
I mean, they bought one of these
for $500.
Yeah, $50.
Yeah, they make money, Palmer.
You guys make money.
No, no, I mean like they make a
lot of money.
But you guys make money.
Yeah, No, I'm not.
Complaining about the money I'm.
Just saying they make a lot of
money.
One for $500. $500.
I wouldn't reviewed a $500 cigar
if I had to pay for it.
I wouldn't buy a $500 cigar if I
had the money to pay for it.
I think you would.
No way.
Yeah, No, I didn't even buy the
Millennium that one time.
I traded services.
So you still bought it?
Kind of.
I mean, not with cash, I.
Mean he, Greg?
Pretty much no.
No, that's not what I meant.
Yeah.
Should've made that one of your
movies.
That way you would've already
had some.
Yeah, something in the can, as
they say.
Something in the can.
Right footage in the can
industry lingo.
Sorry, I thought you were aware.
Filled with Greg.
Right, filled by Greg.
Filled by Greg.
Wow.
Wow, wow, 82.
That was his review of it.
Wow, 81.
All right clue #1 the extremely
smooth rapper and substantially
weight give the Opus X football
a bold high end presence that
immediately stands out.
82. 81 not changing.
Pepper on the retro hail and
smoke production increases
nicely in the second third,
adding depth and making the
experience more engaging as it
progresses.
Why are these comments so?
86.
It's not a long review from.
2013.
Yeah, it's back when they were
Stogie Press or whatever it was.
I'm I'm going 81.
I don't think this, I don't
think he likes it.
They were half wheeled this time
2013.
You're right, they just put the
logo on the pictures.
The third clue, The profile is
staged largely consistent
throughout, and by the final
third, the sweetness fades while
bitterness increases slightly,
dulling the overall experience.
Man, this is going to be a tough
one 87.
Well the problem is is that the
comments are short and very non
descriptive.
Yeah, back in the old days.
I think the good final thought
of this cigar was ass.
Yeah, 80.
I'm going to stick at 81.
We still got a final thought
though, right?
Final thought OK, like I
mentioned in my Bahiki review.
Bahiki.
Yeah, that's what I said.
Smoking and scoring a cigar that
is this rare is almost criminal,
but one of the main points
behind the sites reviews is to
do exactly that.
Having said that, at a certain
point a cigar becomes so big and
odd that the focus becomes on
making sure the cigar burns and
less so on flavor.
Factor in the fact that this was
never meant to be a commercial
success, and in the amount of
time that goes into perfecting
the flavor is probably close to
minimal.
The football did have flavor in
it that reminds me of very
slightly of an Opus X, but the
persistent bitterness in the
profile, while not overwhelming
at any point except at the end,
was persistently annoying enough
to notice.
It ended up being not even close
to as strong as I expected, and
it flavors it did possess, well,
not horrible in any way.
We're pretty 1 dimensional in
the end.
I'm extremely grateful to have
been able to smoke one.
But as far as smoking goes, the
Opus X football was basically
just one huge, boring pile of
burning tobacco.
Oh, he was going to say burning
pile of crap.
One far more entertaining to
look at than to smoke.
One heaping pile of cow, Heaping
pile of I can't.
You know it's almost criminal to
smoke this $500 cigar.
However, one must do the Lord's
work and smoke this.
Here's a nice piece of.
Yep, can't say the words
anymore.
I have to put up.
And you can still say it 84.
I win 83. 70 he wins.
Yeah, I was never going to get
70, but I knew it was definitely
low.
Ouch.
I'm a fan of the low scoring
cigars, gentlemen.
You should notice that they're
tough.
So.
So they made a football cigar
and then LFD made one.
LF DS is considerably smaller.
This is looks like it's about
like that big.
Oh, so it's like the shape of a
football?
It's the shape of a football.
Oh, wow.
Listen, nothing is new under the
sun, all right?
Nobody, nobody created it first.
And then something, something
like stop.
Just stop it right now.
Well, saga, Saga.
Nobody made the Postania
justice.
Saka invented cigars?
Ask him.
Other than Saka?
And the Postania justice?
OK.
Are you going to be anywhere?
Nope.
OK.
Do you want me to put up a
voting thing where we say, hey,
do you want us to continue five
days a week, or do you want us
to do 3?
No, keep going.
Why give up now?
That's that's my feelings.
Wow, I'm surprised that you even
put that on the table.
In the middle, I don't know what
to tell you.
It doesn't mean I'm not in for
the five.
It was just a nice break.
Palmer was just, you know, he's
having a bad day.
It was a long drivey day.
It was 6 hours in the car.
It was nice to get home and not
have to do anything.
OK, we were working on some new
things here to make it even
more.
Efficient, I understand that.
Yeah, like food during the
podcast.
Yeah, that was great.
We should just eat on every job
it.
Was terrible and it didn't do
anything.
Maybe the commercial will be at
that point.
Right, we ate something that's
not gonna change.
Well, we'll see.
Doesn't it?
OK, yeah, we'll see.
Waiting with a bated breath.
You know what I'll bring in next
time?
A box of fudge rounds.
Maybe that will change.
A box of what?
Box of what?
Fudge rounds.
What's that?
Little Debbie's fudge round a
what?
Yeah, I I can understand what
you're saying.
Fudge rounds.
Fudge rounds?
What's that bring in the oatmeal
pies?
Yeah, see, Palmer's on the right
track.
Oatmeal pies are all right.
Little Debbie Oatmeal.
Pies.
Oh, are you talking about the?
The chocolate one.
Chocolate oatmeal pies, No.
No, the fudge rounds are they're
like blackish.
With the cream inside.
Yeah, like the Swiss Swiss cake
rolls.
Well that's a Swiss cake roll.
A fudge round is like a cookie
looking thing, but soft cookie.
Great, now we are coop show.
Is that how he explains like?
No, but now we're just talking
about food.
You want to know what you are,
Phil?
I'm a great guy and thank you
guys for watching show.
Bye.
You're a you're a borderline
diabetic.
No, no.
The Chinese have figured out how
to reverse type 1 and type 2
diabetes.
Oh, I have a story for Monday
about the Chinese.
You want to do it today since
we.
Have extra time?
Sure, go ahead.
They have come out with a
machine that you hook your phone
to and you can kiss your
significant other through your
phone.
What?
