Transcript

You.

You all right?

We're in.

Welcome to episode 383 of the

Cigar Hustler podcast, The post

PCA show Yes.

We are alive, barely, but we are

alive.

We're alive.

I'm very tired.

Are you tired?

Yes.

Did you drive or something?

No, I punched in orders in a

bouncy car.

Indeed you did.

You did a great job too man.

Come on, give yourself some.

Question in the orders, Yeah,

yeah, it was OK.

I feel Greg slowed down at some

point because when I would turn

around to get another order, he

was not punching.

But I did take a nap for 15

minutes, so maybe he felt like

he.

Yeah, it was a little bit

longer.

Than was it longer than that?

Oh, it felt.

Like an hour.

Was it an hour?

Yeah.

I couldn't keep my eyes open

anymore, punching in order.

I was nodding off and it was, it

was becoming dangerous.

I couldn't tell where the order,

you know, where I was leaving

off.

So.

We're going to get into the PCA

in a little bit.

But yes, what are we?

What are our topics for today?

Well, first on the Patreon today

we're doing the new Sinisa Fina.

Oh, we can't do the hand.

We don't need to do the hand

thing anymore.

We're doing this Sinisa Fina,

Connecticut, the the darling of

the trade show, the.

Darling.

Very, very popular of the trade

show, yes.

MMM, delicious. 16.2g. 16.2g so

I should probably write that

down somewhere.

Excellent job.

Mr. Bootch.

We have Bootch with us again

today.

Hello, there he is.

I left everything upstairs.

Wait, no, no, wait.

It's here.

Because I don't have backups

anymore, the backups went to the

backup.

We're a bit of a train wreck

today, but we're rolling.

Better late than never.

We're going to Still we got a

podcast going for this week.

We like to say hello to Gavin

with Espinoza cigars just so we

say hello to him and he stops

asking us to say hello.

He'll never stop asking.

All right, let's go what we got.

Let's see today's trending

topics.

It's the Dallas school shooting

today.

The suspect shooter, 17 year old

Tracy Hayes junior, turned

himself in and is charged with

four counts of aggravated

assault in a mass shooting at

Wilmer Hutchinson.

So.

You're not going into the the

topics.

No, this is just a little

synopsis.

There's plenty of information

about this, this is just the

highlight.

You wanted a longer intro to the

to the stories?

Well, the I could talk faster

like the man does in the car,

but I can't do that.

I feel like you just say, OK,

there was a Dallas shooting,

we're going to cover, we're

going to whatever go.

Ahead.

Well, he went.

Whatever you want to do, you're

in charge.

You know what?

Nothing.

OK, what else?

Spotify is down.

Oh.

No.

People are going to other places

to get their music.

I had no issues today.

When did you listen to Spotify?

11:30 It might have been back up

by the end of stories from this

morning, but 200,000 people were

talking about it.

It was the hot topic thing.

OK, how your eyes by the way

might got a little bit of an eye

issue with the thing.

It's getting better.

Thank you, mine was just

bothering me that one day.

I told you I think it was just

psychosomatic.

The day after you had yours I

was having eye problems.

Hong Kong is suspending package

shipments to USA is a fight back

tactic to the tariffs.

Interesting.

Sweden's top new show has 24

hour streaming access.

Oh my.

OK.

Is that it?

That is it.

That and much more.

That and much, much more coming

up on a Cigar Hustler podcast.

You need to pick it up.

Do you want a gummy or

something?

Let's go.

It's a little late.

Those gummies are upstairs.

Need you to dial in?

Let's go, baby.

Those do work, you know, It's

kind of weird 'cause I had one

the first day and then didn't

have any more.

Yeah, you need to.

Yeah, I need to have them all

the time.

Was busy the first day.

They're good stuff, So busy.

Super busy?

OK, let's go.

Shooting, Let's go.

What happened?

Well, first we're starting with

Spotify.

We'll start on Spotify, yes, OK.

10s of thousands Spotify users

around the world have reported

they were unable to stream music

on the app this morning.

Down detector which tracks

platforms showed more than

20,000 people reported Spotify

was not functioning on Wednesday

afternoon from 1330 GMT.

Greenwich meantime, so there's a

worldwide application.

Thousands more reported issues

in the US and parts of Europe.

Spotify told the BBC the issue

with the search has been

addressed.

Oh, that's nice, it was rolling

out the update to its users.

However, it is unclear how long

it will be before the app works

properly for everyone again.

Where is Spotify located?

Are they in the US?

Don't know it's.

Where's?

The Spotify.

Can you check for that please?

He's like, oh God, oh God, I got

to put my cigar down.

Spotify says it has more than

675,000,000 users worldwide.

Users reported they were still

able to play music they had

downloaded onto their device,

however they were unable to view

artist or use the search

function on the app.

So the search is down.

Yes, but we mentioned earlier,

OK story.

Oh, you better get it together,

dude.

After trying to search for

music, the app appears to time

out and display a message

reading something went wrong.

Oops, oops.

It's in Stockholm, Sweden.

Oh, a lot of Sweden in the news

today, they have a brand new TV

show.

They edges all this love.

So the Swiss are taking over.

This week Swiss are taking over

with a refresh button.

We we're aware I was trying to

do a Swiss accent, but I don't

think I can.

OK, I'm from Yemeni.

We are aware of some of the

issues right now and are

checking them out, the firm

wrote on social media in

response to rising complaints

from users.

Is that where all the companies

now go to announce things?

I guess where social media.

Yeah, where else did you go?

Would you e-mail it?

Well, what did they do before

social media?

You just let it shut down and no

one said anything.

There was like a a bullhorn,

wasn't there?

Nobody.

It was just a guy with a horn

going a Dun Dun Dun Dun.

It is dumb.

You had to go in your Myspace.

Yes, I miss my space.

You had to message Tom directly

and tell him that your Spotify

was down.

On social media, a number of

users told the company they were

unhappy with the outage and the

impact loss of music.

I can't play my music today.

I'm very.

I don't really understand that.

Oh, so when the music doesn't

play, they complain that they

can't?

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

You know, how shitty is your

life going where you're upset

about your Spotify being down

temporarily?

Well, you don't know how far

down.

Sorry.

Boots.

What?

And first of all, why does

people only have one platform?

How many platforms do you have,

Mikey?

Just Spotify.

You don't have Apple Music?

No, I don't use Apple Music.

Why would I pay for two

different subscriptions for

music?

Oh, I.

I don't pay any of them.

No.

If you have an iPhone, you can

search music.

On Apple.

Music yes, but don't you have to

have it downloaded also?

Don't you have to pay for that?

Too.

No, you can stream it, you can't

download it.

For free, yeah.

Oh yeah, I use it.

I use the free version.

I pay for Spotify.

Yeah, I pay for Spotify as well.

I used the free version but I

haven't why they're complaining

because they pay.

Or even like a Pandora, You

don't have Pandora.

Nah, my wife uses Pandora, I

like Spotify, and I use iheart

in the car.

I see you have multiple

platforms, Palmer.

There's certain things you can't

get everywhere.

I was getting frustrated on the

drive when the when the car

wouldn't work.

Oh, when the car play wouldn't

work.

Oh, you're very upset?

No, that's between my peeing on

the way home and your turning

and trying to reset the the the

ways and the musics.

Yeah, that's why it took so

fucking long to get.

Home you got to pee every 30

minutes.

I was very thirsty from all the

talking.

For three days.

I consumed massive amount

because during the show I tried

to keep it down.

Like, OK, I can't really leave

to go pee, so let's keep the,

you know, liquid consumptions

down as little as possible.

So you bulked up for the trip?

I was very thirsty by the third,

by the 4th day.

Nothing from U boots on that.

So you you took your peace

suppressor pills?

I wish I had some, that would've

been nice, some peace.

I did venture into the caffeine

package for the trip.

He was.

He was hitting caffeine packets.

I don't know if they made a

difference or not, but they

tasted good and they kept my

mouth from getting too dry.

Really.

I found blueberry ice to be the

most appealing.

Where did you get these from?

Amazon.

I didn't know that cocaine had

flavors.

I wish you'd take a pill.

Or something nice blueberry.

Blueberry and blueberry ice, I

had a boom.

I had one of those boom sniffers

too, but I only did that in the

morning.

Because that burnt.

What's a boom sniffer?

You know what that is?

You don't know what a boom

sniffer is.

No.

OK, we all know that I have a or

a hat.

I guess you always do have when

I'm an addict, I guess.

Nasal.

Allegedly.

No, no, I was an addict.

The nasal.

Spray I fully confirmed.

I only confirmed we saw one on

the ground and he had to keep me

from picking it up.

Oh.

Look.

Oh look, there's one there.

Let's shake it, see if it has

fluid left.

You remember the old Victoria

inhalers?

There's the little round things

that just had mentholated stuff

in it.

Yeah, OK, they've done that

again, but it's a different

company now called Boom or

something.

I saw it on Shark Tank.

OK, but they also have added

vitamins and whatever to.

It it's good for you now.

Yeah, now it's good for you.

It's.

Good with the cocaine.

With the cocaine.

So in the morning I I sometimes

do that as a little pick me up.

Gotcha.

And that helps.

I don't know, I just, it just

makes me feel good, you know,

it's like an alcoholic.

You drink or what?

What's the what's the stuff the

cocaine guys take now?

After they get out of a stuff.

When you addicted to cocaine,

methadone, it's like a

methadone.

That's your move.

Yeah, this.

This helps you off.

This this helps me think that

I'm still.

Using Oh, it's your Suboxone.

Whatever that is, Suboxone, it's

my Suboxone.

I don't know what that is.

OK.

Well, I don't know, man.

You know, I'm glad that

Spotify's working, but you know,

look at the end of the day, if

it's if it's down for a small

period of time, these things

happen with the technology.

It's not easy if.

You're paying for it while you

would be upset.

Whatever man.

It's like when cable goes out,

everybody complaints that the

cable.

Is cable a thing?

Go read.

Well, it used to be what's

cable?

Sorry, satellite service.

Sorry, my point your your

streaming service goes down.

Just damn thing.

What?

One urged the platform to hurry

up and fix the issue as they

were at the gym.

You can understand that,

Michael.

Well, another pleaded for a

quick fix that the lawsuit music

was disrupting to their

revision.

More significantly, some said

that they would switch rival

streaming platforms such as

YouTube or Apple Music.

Yeah.

That's it, I'm switching.

If you use Apple Music, is that

like having an AOL e-mail

address?

Apple Music, Yeah.

No, I think Apple Music's

competitive in the in the space

is it?

Yeah, you just never hear much

about it, I think.

Spotify's The Dominator.

Yeah, I would imagine.

So I love spotifying.

I didn't even realize it was

down.

They give better

recommendations.

Do you play mostly saved music?

Yeah, yeah, but no, but I played

podcasts today.

Oh, I listened to podcast.

But you know, it's so smart.

I don't have to search for it.

Like you're the ones that you

like to listen to.

Just click it and there you go.

Oh, I'm not going to, I'm not

going to say which Spotify,

which podcast I listen to

because as of right now, we

don't know if we're invited or

not, if we're allowed in.

So.

So.

Do you if you did not have

Spotify while you're working

out, would you still work out?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm a psychopath.

I don't do any.

I no longer do pre workout, none

of that stuff.

Oh, I'm, I'm unaffected.

I'm going in.

Here's where here's the one

thing that upsets me.

If I go to workout and I don't

have, if I don't have my notepad

where I can track my progress

and look at my previous goals,

that's where I start to lose my

mind.

OK, that kind of frustrates me.

Then I have to give it up and

just understand that, OK, we're

going to have to do some kind of

cluster sets and just work to

failure, you know, and not

really be geared in towards one

more Rep than last time or

something like that.

Do you think, do you feel the

music helps you lift more or

doesn't have any effect on that?

I think that there's time zone

it benefits you, but I'm

indifferent now.

I listen to podcasts and stuff

while I'm working out at this

point.

All that.

More informational.

Whatever I'm trying to do, you

know, especially when we're

doing, if we're doing an

interview with somebody, right,

that's usually where things kind

of consume me, I'll have.

You go, yeah, you try to listen

to everything I've done.

Before, yeah, I'll cover as many

recent podcasts up to two or

three years back as I possibly

can because I don't want them to

say any of those things.

And right.

And then you what's really kind

of funny is you start to see the

patterns they're go to.

Imagine yeah, they get the same

brushes all the time they're go

to.

So how did you get into the

cigars?

Right.

And then sometimes, not even

sometimes if a podcaster is

really bad at things, right, but

the person being interviewed is

good, right?

They know how to curve it into

that conversation.

And then they have their go to

speeches and I like to interject

when they start to no, no, we're

not talking about that.

Oh, the interview, EE the

interview has their their

standard stuff they like to say

correct.

I can see that.

Yeah, so I usually like to

problem with.

Here's what we're not talking

about.

Right.

No, no, don't say that.

Don't know.

You don't get to say and you can

see it actually in our

interviews when someone slides

in and I'm like, dude, what are

you doing?

Don't say that you said that on

developing pilots.

You said that on every show that

you.

Said that on all the other shows

that are all the same.

For you.

All right, Dallas school

shooting.

This is interesting.

Go ahead.

Teen suspect arrested, charged

with aggravated assault at a

mass shooting The suspect gunman

in the Wilmer Hutchins High

School shooting turned himself

in and is facing first degree

felony charges, according to the

arrest affidavit.

So I guess no one died, thank

goodness.

Turned himself in.

Well, yeah, at the end, OK, I

guess.

Usually they don't turn

themselves in.

Keep going.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Why he was talking?

I know, I'm curious.

Newly released details in the

affidavit gave insight into what

led to Tuesday's shooting at the

southwest Dallas campus.

Police were able to review

hallway surveillance video to

help piece together what

happened on Tuesday.

OK.

Tracy Dennard Haynes Junior, 17,

turned himself in in the Loose

St.

Justice in around 9:00 PM.

Oh, so they didn't get him at

the school.

He got away OK turned himself in

Tuesday.

He has been booked into the

Dallas County Jail and is

charged with four counts of

aggravated assault and a mass

shooting and a first degree

felony, ADPS special agent who

wrote the affidavit, probable

cause said.

At the conclusion of my review

and based on the totality of the

circumstances, I believe Tracy

Haynes Junior committed the

offense of the Texas Penal Code

22.02 B 4 aggravated assault,

mass shooting, first degree

felony.

So I'm guessing that's all one

offense. 222 Niner. 22.02, B 4.

Yeah.

First Degree.

Finally, when Hayes Junior

intentionally, knowingly, and or

recklessly attempted to cause

serious bodily injury and or

death to students attending WHHS

and during the Commission of the

offense, used and exhibited a

deadly weapon.

Additionally, during the

Commission, Hayes Junior

committed the assault as part of

a mass shooting where Hayes

Junior discharged A firearm to

cause serious bodily injury or

death or to attempt to cause

serious bodily injury or death

to four or more persons during

the same criminal transaction to

transaction.

Every, well, everything's a

transaction life.

Haynes is being held in the

Dallas County Jail on a $600,000

bond, $150,000 per count.

OK, so did he shoot people?

Yes, but he did not kill anyone,

apparently because there's no

murder charges.

That's kind of well, nobody's

dead yet.

Maybe.

I'm surprised he didn't.

There was no attempted murder

mentioned.

Yeah, I was going to say that.

So.

So what did he do?

He shot four people.

What we don't get, this is what

they don't know.

Officials have not said if

Haynes with a student at Wilmer

High or if they've received

information as to why Haynes

brought the gun to the school.

Police documents say that five

people were injured in the

shooting.

Dallas ISD and Dallas Fire

Rescue said on Tuesday that four

were injured.

FOX 4 has reached out to

agencies For more information.

It looks like somebody somebody

died.

It looks like somebody died.

Well, maybe there's an update

after this story.

After this story because he's

not accused of murder in here.

Aggravated assault with a

weapon.

The charges can upgrade down the

road.

Certainly.

Yeah.

Well, as things change, I would

imagine so, right?

According to police,

surveillance video show an

unknown student letting Haynes

into the school through an

unsecured door just after 1:00

PM, Haynes walked down the

hallway and encountered a group

of male students, the affidavit

says that's when he pulled out a

gun and began shooting, striking

5 students.

He then approached one student

who was unable to run away and

shot him point blank range.

According to the report, all 5

victims were taken to local

hospitals, 4 have non life

threatening injuries and 1 is in

serious condition that.

Must have been the.

Death.

That must be the one that

passed, Dallas Mayor Pro Tem

Tennelle Atkins said all the

victims are expected to recover.

Well, I I now I'm confused.

Well, this has one dead.

I mean, this is all kind of new,

right?

So.

Sure.

Well, the the Pro Tem mayor says

everybody's fine.

Everything's fine.

Everything's fine.

They're fine.

Three of the victims are between

15 and 18 years old.

The ages of the other two have

not been confirmed.

Instead of high school.

You figure that would be pretty

safe bets unless it's a.

Teacher, right?

The extent of the injuries has

not been fully released, but

sources told FOX 4 and Cigar

Hustler podcast that at least

117 year old male student was

shot in the lower leg.

Despite extra security measures

at the school, Haynes was able

to enter through an unsecured

door.

So it is not a failure of our

staff, of our protocols or of

the machinery that we have, said

Dallas ISPISD sorry.

Police Chief Scott Smith.

Well, apparently there was some

problem.

There was an unsecured door.

Yeah, I thought the Guardians or

whoever's on campus is supposed

to check all those anyways, make

sure they're locked and or

secured.

And my interaction with those

guys, they sit around a lot.

OK, so allegedly, OK, so here's

my question to you.

Yes, where did he get the gun?

And that has not been reported

yet.

OK.

And what type of gun?

I don't give AI don't care, that

means nothing to me.

Do you think that there should

be a penalty involved for

whoever was the original owner

of the firearm if it was as long

as it wasn't stolen?

Like let's say it was his

parents gun or something like

that, correct?

You think that that person?

What are you deeming stolen?

Taken without authorization.

Reported stolen.

I think what he's asking is did

he steal it from his parents?

I don't think you can steal it

from your parents.

Yeah, what I'm saying is, you

know, if it was, if you had a

burglar in your house and your

firearms were stolen, it was

reported that your firearms were

stolen.

At that point, if it's used

later in a crime, you know, I

don't think that you should be

held liable.

Right.

Yeah, no.

And then also, I mean, if it's

with the parents, you have to

see timeline on this.

So was it taken and then

immediately taken to the school

and the parents weren't home?

Yeah, I think, yeah.

So let's say it was taken out of

the house and the parents

weren't home.

Do you think they should be held

liable?

That's my question, no.

I think they should be, I think

they should be.

I think they absolutely should.

It was unsecured in the home and

the I mean child, for lack of

better words, 'cause he was 17,

he had access to it, right?

Are they trying him as a

juvenile or as an adult?

It has not been mentioned.

We don't even know if he's been

tried for murder yet.

It's Texas charges.

Well, I mean, you know, I, I've

read two different articles.

One said he one person died.

One one said that he didn't.

Right in this article I got the

mayor said that everybody's

fine.

Yeah, so 5 injured.

And in Texas, if somebody

murders somebody, they get the

death penalty correct?

Texas does have the death

penalty, but they have to be

convicted and I'm sure there's

certain extenuating

circumstances on how they get

the death penalty.

Yeah.

I don't think murder is an

automatic death penalty, just

puts it on the table.

I think that if you own a

firearm and you are, you're

responsible for that if you're.

Responsible with it?

Yeah, somehow it is accessible

to the child again, for the lack

of better word.

Yeah, I believe so.

It should.

Be in a it should be.

In a safe should be.

Secured in a safe, unloaded both

in a different place, whatever

the rule is.

Well, I mean, I don't know, you

know, maybe not all that, but I

have access to the firearms in

my safe, right?

My wife does, right?

That's where it ends.

That's where it should end.

Right.

I don't.

You know, that makes no sense to

me.

Is there an age where you would,

I guess not, wouldn't you?

I mean, and your children aren't

of that age yet, but is there an

age where, let's say Jax gets

access to the gun, he's still in

the house and he's 19 years old

or?

Something would I educate my son

on handling and controlling

firearms?

Sure, right.

Well he would still not have

access to it gotcha without me.

So as long as he lives in your

house, he's not on the list.

He will no, 100% curious.

Not at all.

No, no, because they're not his

right.

They're mine.

Sure, right.

So I'm responsible for it and I

would take that very seriously.

I would never say, ah, well, you

know, hey, sitting on the

coffee, standing we ever need,

you know, or if, oh, if.

God, I didn't do that either.

But I wanted to take the

mystique away from it, so I did

let the boys see it and hold it

unloaded in controlled

situation, just so I wasn't

like, Dad's gone, let's see if

we can find it.

Yeah, you're educating them on

firearms, certainly.

That's totally different.

Right.

I'm just saying what my policy.

Was I would never ever have let

my son have access to the gun

for his for him to use for

protection or safety.

I have bubbles.

That's what I was going to say.

Is your wife comfortable with?

Would she want to get it if

something had happened?

You're not.

I mean, we were just gone.

So something happened.

Somebody gets in, right?

Would she go for bubbles or go

for the gun?

I think that potentially both.

I mean, bubbles is a gun

bubbles.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Right.

No one's getting in.

Certainly.

Right.

Oh God.

Yeah.

Oh God, listen.

Never mind, there's got to be a

better house.

And the other one's sticking his

nose up my ass.

What the hell is going on?

So yeah, I mean.

Yeah, my wife wouldn't.

She knows where ours are,

obviously, and there's no

children in our house, so I

mean, mine's not locked up

anymore.

But she would, she would do the

dog.

She would have the dogs right

first.

Several.

Dogs.

Yeah, we have.

We have multiple dogs also,

right?

Yes, yes.

So, yeah, I think if they want

to roll the dice and come in

with the dogs, OK, See how?

See how far you can get.

The house isn't that big

anymore.

There's no place to run.

Right.

Yeah, I think that the parents

should be held liable.

I believe so also, yeah.

Didn't they just do that with

that last school shooting?

Both parent the one of the

parents or somebody went to

jail, both or one or something.

Well, they got charged, but I

don't think they I don't think

it stuck.

Oh, really?

I didn't.

I didn't see anything about them

going to jail.

Like, you're responsible for

that kid, right?

And what he does?

Right, certainly.

And you're responsible for your

firearms.

OK, let's, let's go one step

further.

He's 17 years old.

OK?

He can drive your car.

OK, say he goes and runs people

over.

Yeah, you know, does a a group

thing where he's going to a

parade and just runs through the

people.

Are the parents responsible then

because he had access to the

car?

It's a great question.

That's what we're all about here

at Cigars Podcast.

Great.

You know, anything can be used

as a as as a murder weapon, I

guess.

Certainly to some degree, right?

Oh, I guess your point there.

So.

So if a you know, I would say no

in that scenario.

I think no, also because the car

is not meant for that.

Purpose, right?

It's right.

Well, I mean, I mean, a gun

isn't meant for killing people

technically, it's more for

self-defense.

Well, but it is used to hurt

people, right Where, you know, I

mean, if he takes a gun, he's

not because he had to go to the

movies, right?

Well.

Unless he was watching Dark

Knight Dark Knight Rises.

Yeah, that was a horrible.

That was that one guy who went

in and lit up the theater and

then sat out front waiting for

the police, right?

What do you think Boots?

With a car, yeah.

No, I mean, so the hardest part

with any type of attempted

murder or murder, right, is the

black and white on all of it,

right.

So and especially the school

shootings, because they actually

don't have a lot of black and

white on school shootings.

It's it's very minimal, right?

So when they charge these guys,

it's really hard to get a

subsidiary off of the main

charge with a parent or with

anything involved in accessory,

right?

So I think, I think gun laws

need to evolve a little more to

be able to stick stuff like

that.

Gotcha.

OK.

Our legal expert because, you

know, in the Navy, Yeah, it

wasn't that boats.

Well, you know, he's more like,

I think everybody should be able

to kill everybody.

You know, like he's all for it.

Yeah, He's he's fine.

All right.

Next.

All right, something a little

lighter.

Hong Kong suspends Postal

Service to the US after Trump

terrified.

Yes, definitely lighter.

Not a more.

No more sending packages you

cannot get your Timo or your

shin.

And no more, no more.

That's dumb.

Unless, you know, Jonathan

Drew's there and.

He was just in Macau.

I was just in Macau.

I was in Hong Kong yesterday,

but then I'm in Macau.

I like if somebody attacked you

on YouTube, said, you know, mean

things about you.

That's hilarious.

I don't think I saw that.

Yeah, it was good.

Oh, oh, they did About the the

the.

How dare you attack him?

How dare you?

Attack this man, this St. of a

man this.

Great man.

This great man, yeah, we, we

know him.

We know him.

He said he loved this stuff.

He stopped and said hello.

Yeah, he's our friend.

Right, Hong Kong, CNN Hong

Kong's Postal Service will stop

handling packages coming from or

going to the United States.

So I guess if they get there,

they're like no, no, come in and

no more for you.

In the latest retaliatory move

amid A escalating trade war

between Washington and Beijing.

In a statement published

Wednesday announcing that the

decision, the government of Hong

Kong cited U.S.

President Donald Trump's

decision last week to eliminate

the so-called de minimis

minimum.

That's what it says.

Exception for items posted from

the city to the US.

The exemption applied to

international shipments worth

$800 or less entering the US.

Oh, so I guess it used to be an

exemption in place where it was

$800 or less, no tariff.

Now everything tariff.

OK.

The US is unreasonably bullying

and imposing tariffs abusively,

the government said.

They can't say abusively with

their accent well.

They don't pronounce BS anyways,

right abusively.

Abusively, the government said

in the statement the oh it's

just written statement, OK,

yeah, that's the public in Hong

Kong should be prepared to pay

exorbitant and unreasonable fees

due to the US unreasonable in

bullying acts.

The government said the Postal

Service Hong Kong Post will stop

accepting packages transported

by C with immediate effect and

stop taking airborne packages

starting from April 27th.

So on the water stopped in the

air.

Better order fast.

Get it through.

Other postal items containing

only documents, for example

letters, will not be affected.

So you can send, you can send a

letter, that's OK.

Like anything in an envelope.

Who sends letters anyway?

That's why this has no big deal.

It would take a week to get a

letter from China or Hong Kong.

You think so?

Sure, we should start sending

postcards.

I don't like everybody can read

them.

With like, Oh yeah, there's no,

but no, it should be like, you

know, something with Trump on

the one side.

Of it.

Oh, you send them over there?

Sending them to Trump.

With the thumb up.

Thank you for embracing the

American culture.

Right, Mega postcards.

So everybody quickly send mega

postcards to the people of Hong.

Kong see how quickly the

communist country starts

rounding up random people.

Sir, we saw that you got this

letter.

This letter.

We saw you got this postcard

from Trump.

The retaliatory move means

companies and individuals in

Hong Kong will have to pay

private couriers such as FedEx

and DHL to deliver packages,

further driving up costs for

consumers on top of US levies.

So wait a second, it's a move.

OK, so the government is no

longer handling the.

Government's not handling, but

there's still ways to do it.

That's, you know, that's the one

thing that I can't stand about.

Well, there's more than one

thing, but that's the one thing

I really can't stand about

politics is the theatrics and

the BS of it.

All right?

Oh, well, then you know what?

No more shipments from us.

However, if you want to get a

shipment from us, contact DHL or

FedEx or UPS and we'll get that

out to you, right?

Yeah.

What pack?

OK.

Have you ever got?

Did your wife order stuff from

Sheen or Timu or that stuff?

I think she tried once or twice

and she regretted it doesn't.

Normally come by the mail

anyway.

It comes by DHL or UPS or.

Or private or some weird Courier

service where you have to

download an app to track it.

So what can we say that sounds

threatening, but it really

doesn't.

Have what we do, We say no more

mail.

You know.

What they could do DHL, it'd be

fine.

What's funny, though, is they're

going to have to find a way out

of this.

Both, both of these countries,

both the US and China, There's

they're.

Going to, yeah, it's that thing

where who's going to who's going

to bow first?

I don't yeah, but they're going

to have to figure out some term

where it's Oh, well, we have

another issue and we're just

going to set this aside for now

and you know, right, we're we're

going to work, we're going to

work hand in hand to solve this

right for the this other major

bigger problem for the.

Noodle shortage Noodle shortage

over here.

We need more noodle.

Right, virus or something.

If they're, I mean, you know,

you maybe they shut everything

down or so who knows.

I've heard, I've heard about

that before.

That could be a thing.

Do you think maybe this is a a

move in politics to enrich the

shipping services such as DHL,

UPS and FedEx?

DHL is behind all of this.

No, no.

But I just mean in general.

Because they're almost out of

business.

I mean they don't have their own

trucks and stuff anymore.

Well, those are those are

American companies, correct?

They do have them in China and

Hong Kong and stuff, but it's

not the same.

DHL because we've had problems

before in the past, you know,

you call the number and they go,

I'm sorry, we took it to China.

DHL we can't help you anymore.

That's as far as it goes.

Oh, you wanted the China DHL?

The tracking has a lot of CS in

it now.

We can't really handle that.

Yeah, there's various woo you

need to call some.

You need to call circle square

trying wait wait what?

Oh, that's a PlayStation

controller, Yeah.

Exactly right circle, square,

square, square circle, circle

what?

Are you doing?

That was the finisher in Mortal

Kombat.

Oh, the DHL spokesman told CNN,

and cigars are podcasts.

We're rich, and we'll get to get

you to process shipments to the

US, monitor the situation and

work with customers to help them

keep up with the latest changes.

CNN has reached out to FedEx and

UPS.

Cigars are podcast says not For

more information and comments.

Here's their phone number if you

want to ship.

Yes, here's their phone number

if you'd like to ship.

Oh my God.

We China, FedEx, we all fine.

They're fine here.

Everything good, everything good

UPS.

No bad bad UPS.

So comical, man.

It just goes on and on and on

on.

You know, we haven't even had,

have we had 100 days of

President Trump in office yet?

No, because you know, there'll

definitely be a thing in the

paper.

There'll be a T-shirt.

Hit 100 days Where are we today?

You know, well, it's a good

hundred days.

It's the best 100 days that

we've ever had.

On who you ask?

Huge.

Huge.

Huge 100 stock market doesn't

feel that way.

Stock market went up and down.

Stock market is down.

Is it down today?

Well, he'll just raise the

tariffs again for a day and then

it drops and then he says no,

we'll go back down to 10.

No, and it's up again.

Well, why do you think he does

those things with the tariffs?

What you know what, what makes

you think?

What's the reasoning?

Maybe to move the market?

You think he's trying to just

manipulate the market?

I mean, I think all politicians

try to manipulate the market.

Rich, I have a plan.

If you're that powerful, if

you're that powerful and you

can, why not?

I think that he's really trying

to just focus on China.

I think that that's his main

issue.

Well, that's our biggest problem

as far as the tariffs.

I think that he's trying his

best to bring back

manufacturing.

Yeah, I think he's trying to

level the field because almost,

from what I have understood,

almost everybody but China has

come and go.

Let's take a look at this and

see what we can all do.

We want to review, we want to

review.

He would like to review.

You know, the poor little

countries are like, that'd be

fine.

We'll buy all your stuff.

Bring it over it.

Yeah.

I'd be interested to see how

much investment Trump has in

China products or China

businesses.

Well, none now he was he's.

Screwing himself.

I mean, that's a great question.

I don't think he has none.

He might buy stuff from them or

had bought.

I don't know how that works when

you're president now, right?

So now his son had buy stuff

from China.

Yeah, whatever.

Whatever the loophole is

regarding, no, you can't do that

anymore, however.

However, he met my son.

Right, I just love that like,

you know, well, you can't

directly send hush money.

That's a no no right through a

campaign.

However you can you pencil if

you wanted to send hush money,

this is the proper channel to

send said hush money.

This is my.

Venmo.

Politicians, men this.

Is my new payer I mean nanny?

Right, this is my au pair.

This is my au pair you.

Wanna know what Swedish's

hottest new TV show is?

Non-stop live coverage of the

epic moose migration.

No, that's Oh yeah, that's

definitely love related.

The show will be non-stop for 24

hours a day for the next 20

days, following the animals via

remote cameras and drones as the

moose journey through forest and

swim across the Angerman River.

And this is the highest rated

show.

And right now this happens once

a year in Sweden.

There's really nothing on TV of

After hours of slow shots of

calming nature, the stars

arrive, Sweden's beloved moose

on their spring migration.

So no more police live.

Right, no more police live

Scandinavia or whatever.

Our T VS way better.

The Great Moose Migration

started airing on Tuesday on

SVT, Sweden's public service

Television.

It's not like CMT, it's not a

it's not a music station

company.

It captures the creatures on the

path they follow for thousands

of years to rich summer grazing

pastures.

And then watch the show.

Some guys in there go got a

great idea.

I got a great idea.

Follow me here.

We need drones.

Do we have drones?

We have drones.

Lots of drones.

We need lots of drones.

And we need a guy on a

motorcycle and three guys with

jeeps.

Perfect.

Follow those goddamn moves

everywhere they go.

You want to know what?

No one's watching this.

What do we do?

Let's shut down Spotify.

Everybody's listening to that

stupid music.

Yeah, the Swiss.

I wish I could do a a Swiss

accent.

Because it's right.

They're both.

They're both from Sweden.

Oh yeah, we we love to shut down

the Spotify.

That that's Hong Kong, we're not

doing the Hong Kong story

anymore.

The show will air non-stop for

24 hours or 20 days following

the animals via remote, which is

repeated again the same thing,

you know, the crossing the

Anchorman river.

So The Associated Press reported

the series debuted in 2019 on

SVT Play and drew about a

million viewers in the first

year.

Last year, viewership exploded

to 9 million.

And his fan base is dedicated

and massive.

It's the most ridiculous thing.

Read a book.

Seriously, I make sure I have

coffee, I have snacks, sleep,

forget about sleep, I don't

sleep.

Ulta oh Oola Pomegran, 62, said

an I don't know if that's a man

or woman, said in an interview

aired Wednesday and NB CS Today

show a Facebook group entitled

Visum Gillard Densora.

OK.

It's obviously.

I love waiting, I love you, I

love your hearing.

No, keep going.

Yeah, yeah, more.

We it translates to we who like

the great Moose migration and

SVT has over 78,000 members with

fans sharing photos of their TV

screens when moose appear.

So I guess they all sit around.

Also, they put on Facebook.

The moose have arrived.

They're here, they're here, here

they go.

Couldn't they just find them

earlier?

Yeah, couldn't they just put a

tracker on?

Them.

Well, maybe.

Maybe it's the swimming part

that they all like.

They like the swimming part.

Maybe 'cause then when they

cross to the Anger river.

OK man, Sweden, come on, get

your acts together.

What a what a world.

It's Sweden.

We played the Moose.

All right, they're German.

Kind of Thunder by German, you

know, we OK switching to PCA

news, OK, because that was our

last story.

We were within earshot of the

German engineered cigar people.

Again, we were they were very

close to our booth.

They.

Were they were on the other side

of Ricky?

Yeah.

Ricky Rodriguez.

OK, still didn't talk to him.

Still didn't talk German

engineered cigars.

I know it's our favorite cigar.

To this day I've yet to have

interaction.

But we always see him, yeah.

So when we talk about placement

of the of the show, how did you

feel about your placement of the

booth?

Because of their last minute

changes, from what I understand,

we were shifted.

If you're looking at our booth,

we were shifted to the right.

Yeah.

And we were hidden behind a

giant wall that we looked at the

entire time that said Jake

White.

So.

We were behind the Jake.

Wyatt directly behind the Jake

Wyatt people.

You couldn't see us.

Doug Espinoza walked around on

the phone going bro, can't find

you.

Where are you?

We're behind Jake Wyatt.

Eric, I'm standing in their

booth.

I can't see you.

Down by the bathrooms.

Right.

Yeah, That's when we mostly saw

people that we knew when they

had to pee.

But we were still busy.

We were busy.

We had people found us.

We.

Had great appointments.

Yes, we had a lot of new

customers.

First two days we were packed.

I didn't even get lunch.

Yeah, I got no food.

Somebody did deliver a sandwich

and you ate it all.

It was a half a sandwich.

Well, that means, you know, if I

would have gotten half a

sandwich, we both would have had

a quarter of a sandwich.

Tyler would have had nothing.

Tyler gave me 1/2 of somebody

else's sandwich.

Perfect.

I'll take it.

He wasn't very much Sherry after

that.

He wasn't.

He's like that.

That's it.

Well, because he tried to give

me a full sandwich and I go.

Someone took a bite out of this

thing.

I did.

I'm sorry, man.

I.

Didn't.

See you.

One of the things I wanted to

wanted to get.

We were like, I've never been to

New Orleans before.

Was a beignet.

So Romo Craft had beignets every

morning.

OK, he did give me part of his

beignet so I could.

Try.

That's sweet you guys shared a

beignet.

It was terrible.

It was everything you thought it

was.

I thought it was more

croissanti, you know, light,

fluffy, but it was a wad of

dough covered in powdered sugar.

Yeah, that's it.

Yeah, it was almost like it

wasn't even.

Cooked.

Somebody gave me a beignet.

Too.

Yes, I did see you eat a

beignet.

The Tyler gave me a beignet.

And you were just eating the

sugar.

I just yeah, I just grabbed the

bag and just.

You're just snorting the ship.

Yeah, I just, I, I whatever you

use the boom sticked it.

I boom, sticked it.

Your boom sticked it up the

nose.

Yeah, it's good to go.

Yummy.

Delicious.

So we got to we got some things

to cover.

I want to talk about Anthony

Mackie Gate.

Oh, Anthony Mackie, I.

Think it's the same as Anthony

Mackie?

The most horrible man in the

world.

Allegedly.

No, he's so horrible.

No, he's not.

Don't.

You can't say that.

That's discrimination.

That's not nice.

You have to say allegedly.

Say allegedly.

Allegedly Allegedly a horrible

person.

That is Captain America.

Captain America was in the

building Boots.

That was Captain America.

He was.

He liked to use the bathroom

right behind us and escape out

the loading dock door.

He did he we did escape out the

loading dock door.

Twice so.

Here's what happened, unless you

want to tell a story.

No, no, no, go ahead.

So Anthony Mackie, well, we

heard he was in the building.

I'm like, oh, that's cool.

Oh, I didn't hear.

He was.

I saw him and I'm like, that's

somebody important.

I don't.

I can't recognize who is it.

Willie told me.

Willie Herrera.

No Willie from La Aurora.

Oh, OK, Willie.

Is it?

Oh, he just missed Anthony

Mackie.

They didn't come across the PA,

no.

No, no, he was.

He was low key Incognito.

He was trying to be low.

Not have the Captain America

suit on.

Right, so, so I ran into him.

So I had one of my son's best

friends necklace on me from

basketball.

'Cause he was a cross, say he

was a cross.

Yeah, whatever, I don't care

what it is.

So, you know, as as you're going

around, I want to take pictures

with celebrities since I had it

'cause I thought it'd be funny

and it'd make the kids day.

So who all did you get?

Carl Malone.

Oh, Carl was there again.

Yep, and Guy Fieri.

Nice.

And I did do one with Matt Booth

as well.

I feel like he's.

Definitely a celebrity.

Well, he's a celebrity in our

world, but that's why I was

curious.

Jewelry, Michael.

Yep.

Oh, that's right.

And liquor.

Yeah, yeah.

And liquor.

He's a jewelry like everybody,

and not just her.

But go ahead.

He's a jewelry phenom.

You think he's known for his

jewelry?

Outside of the cigar issue, yes.

Probably.

Definitely in LA.

Yes.

All right, go ahead.

So yeah, the Cypress Hill guy is

a big collector of his stuff.

Doctor Greetham, Not that 10 the

other one.

So so I ran into him and said,

Hey, can you take a picture of

this?

And he goes, hey, no, sorry, I'm

not really taking pictures.

And all right, no, no worries.

Whatever.

Like I didn't think anything of

it.

But then you hear so Abe was Abe

from smoking ran into him and he

wanted to get a picture with his

daughter and he said no.

So Abe was upset.

Abe did a post about it.

Oh.

Boy.

Now my cat hashtag, not my

Captain America hashtag.

Hashtag.

Captain America's an asshole.

Oh wow, hashtag everything,

anything.

I'd be hating him.

Then apparently on one of the

espinos on Gavin, Oh wait, was

it Gavin or was it Richie on

because Richie got a picture

with him.

He commented on Richie's picture

hashtag.

Captain America's an asshole

again or something.

Yeah, so, so.

So he's going around and he's

saying, hey, I don't take

pictures with people.

Right.

Right.

The problem is, though, he took

pictures with people.

Yeah.

He took pictures with Guy Fieri.

He took pictures with Rich.

He took pictures with a couple,

with a handful of people.

So do you think he should have

taken pictures with people as a

as a celebrity?

Should a celebrity stop to take

pictures with people?

Yes or no?

What do you think?

I think so.

I mean those the people made you

a celebrity.

Right.

OK, but now listen, as a

superhero, you're, you're a

cigar guy, allegedly a cigar

guy, right?

It might be a bad look as far as

the personification of a

superhero being liking cigars,

right?

Arnold Schwarzenegger, He's been

a superhero.

He's.

He's had a Disney Superman, a

Disney superhero, right?

I don't know, I just feel like

he is.

He's the last action hero.

So yeah.

And Terminator.

So maybe that was his logic

behind not taking the picture.

Maybe I'm just giving you

devil's advocate.

And sometimes those guys have

rules with their agents and

lawyers and stuff.

Hey, I'm not allowed to, right?

I heard he told one person.

This is not been confirmed.

Highly speculative, right?

Give me a box of cigars.

I'll take a picture with you.

Oh.

I heard that same.

Story.

What a weasel.

Weasel game Give me a box give.

Me a box and take a picture with

you.

That's pretty funny.

I don't know what booth that

was.

Like the guy couldn't afford the

boxes.

George, we don't know if that's

even true.

Yeah, we don't know if George

Padrone, he just went and got a

drink and then just said, yeah,

I'll be back later with your.

Samples.

I mean, I had two interactions

with the guy and he would seem

really nice.

Now here's the problem.

OK, if you decide yes, I'm gonna

take pictures with people or no,

I'm not gonna take pictures with

people.

If you're gonna say no, you

can't take pictures with people.

Right.

You gonna hold the line?

Yeah.

No matter the circumstances, if

you're, if you're going that

route, the answer's no.

Hey, I'm really sorry.

Yeah.

If the answer's no, then you

know no pictures.

It's like, hey, look, I'm not

supposed to be here, you know, I

can't.

I don't want to be.

I you know I love this.

This is not a scheduled event.

For me, you know, I just wanted

to kind of hang out and and meet

some people.

Just wanted free cigars.

Have Yeah, I just wanted some

free cigars.

Whatever you have a box.

You have a box, so now.

Do I hear two boxes?

Because, because I think Abe has

a valid point.

I, you know, I, I'm arguing both

sides here, right?

If my son loved Captain America,

right?

And I'm like, hey, can you take

a picture of my son?

And he told me no.

And he went and took pictures

with other people.

I would be like, yeah, fuck this

guy, 100.

Percent.

I understand why Abe is mad,

right?

Sure, there's.

Definitely going to be a rule

change next year at PCA.

What do you mean?

Must take pictures.

No more unauthorized celebrities

unless they take pictures with

Abe.

No.

No.

Yeah, that might happen.

Well, you got a.

Whole look at.

The end of the day, you have to,

you know, if you're a celebrity,

you got to decide what you want

to do, right?

Fieri stops for everybody.

He stops for everybody.

Well, we're talking about, you

know, two different people.

This is 2 totally different

worlds.

That is.

That's a fair statement too,

right?

Guy Fieri doesn't have the

celebrity.

I mean, he's a celebrity for

sure, but he's not Captain

America.

Right.

Yeah, he's a, he's a, he's a

celebrity, but a different level

of celebrity.

He's not Captain America.

He's not.

You know he's.

Not I think he should be.

Well, I think he should be too,

but.

That hair, he should be Iron

Man.

And let's be honest, Iron Man,

you know, Anthony Mackie wasn't

Captain America in the

beginning.

He kind of got gave him the

shield all.

Right, so he's not the Falcon.

No.

You know what I mean?

Doesn't his Captain America

still fly with the Falcon?

He does, yeah, Yeah.

So is he Falcon America?

It's kind of.

It's a little strange, a little

weird.

Yeah, I got to fly somebody

hold.

This Disney does all this crazy

stuff you know they can do.

Whatever they want, they're

Disney.

Yeah, apparently I would listen

to a Terrence Howard interview.

You know who Terrence Howard is?

Yes, the guy who used to be the

Falcon.

No, he was the.

Hustle and flow, guy.

And he was War Machine.

Oh yeah, Yeah.

In the originals, yeah.

And the thought process for

Disney was that Robert Downey

Junior wasn't going to be great

as Iron Man, so they were going

to focus on Terrence Howard, and

then they went a totally

different direction.

Thank God.

The second movie, Terrence

Howard wanted way more money

than they were willing to pay.

Yeah, I don't think Terrence

Howard would have the same

effect as Robert Downey Junior.

No, but do you?

Think they were going to war

machine him?

Yeah.

But he but he was replaced by

Don Cheadle.

Which I think did a fantastic

job I.

Like Don Cheadle.

I like Don.

I like both of them.

I think either one.

Of them, I do like Terrence

Howard.

You know.

But he's a different person.

I got to be honest, nothing

frustrates me more than shifting

into a different Oh yeah.

Oh, wait, now you're you're who

they.

Would have went back and forth,

back and forth, back and forth,

yeah.

But there are a lot of things,

even with TV, they'll do the

pilot and they'll have certain

characters and then they, you

know, when the show runs,

they're like, well, that person

really didn't work, so we

replace them with somebody else.

Right, I can't stand that.

Oh, I don't.

I don't mind that so much.

From a pilot, OK, I can see.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But from an entire movie?

I mean, well, it's not like he

did 2 movies.

He did one movie.

They did it in Batman too.

Yeah, oh, what The Who did

Batman Begins?

Anybody can be Batman now.

No Batman Begins.

I don't know their names.

Batman.

Rachel Dawes was replaced with

Gyllenhaal's sister.

Jake Gyllenhaal's sister. 00 and

then she, I don't like her.

Oh, wait, I'm thinking, yeah,

he's got two sisters, doesn't

he?

I don't know.

There's like a cute win and

there's one that's like, not

cute, but we could put a lot of

makeup on her makeup.

We're kind of deviating at this

point, but my point is, at the

end of the day, if you're going

to, you know.

He should have said it

differently.

He shouldn't say I don't take

pictures.

No, look, honestly, I got to be

honest, he probably should have

just taken the photos and.

Well didn't he say something

like I don't do photos cause

dude, you don't know where they

go or you don't know what

happened.

He said something like that,

yeah.

And that's fair.

Yeah, that's reasonable.

You know, but at the end of the

day, anybody can take pictures

of you moving around at at any

given.

Time Did you see?

Did you see Tyler's ChatGPT

photo?

Oh, of him.

I mean, it was perfect.

It looks good.

He took it down because it said

weasel something in the back.

I mean it.

Roma Craft, Weasel Team 6, the

sign in the behind the two of

them.

Oh yeah, yeah.

Took it down because of that,

right?

That's pretty funny.

It said, it said.

I love Anthony Mackie.

He's my Captain America.

He's.

Something what he said.

Captain America I.

Mean it was perfect.

Yeah.

So I mean, look at the end of

the day, I think that.

We'll get a little more into

this on the Patreon because I

have a different theory.

Oh, do you?

Yes.

Oh, interesting.

I do.

All right.

Patreon material.

OK, What else happened at PCA

that was a major highlight of

epic proportions?

Trying to.

I got one for you I.

Was very bad, both of you.

Untangle my cord here that Tang

it in my face.

How about the giant Johnny

Tabacanot?

That room one O 1 Tabacanot

fiasco.

Yeah, so I saw this, this

fiasco.

So I saw this.

It was at the time, but it

turned out not to be.

So I saw this giant Johnny

tobaccon at at the beginning of

the show when we were kind of

building this mic.

Yes.

And I was like, I am stealing

this.

I'm like.

Giant.

You mean 4 feet tall?

It wasn't four.

It was probably what, maybe like

a 2 foot 2 1/2.

Foot.

Oh, I think it was bigger than

that.

It's pretty big.

Was it?

Yeah, it was, you know, 4 feet

ish.

You think so?

OK, well.

Not life-size.

You say giant, you think huge.

So I saw this and I'm thinking,

OK, I gotta, I can't wait.

I'm going to have, you are going

to film me stealing this on day

one.

And this is going to be

hilarious, right?

And I ran into Booth, Matt

Booth.

And he goes, yeah, we're giving

them out with orders.

I'm like bullshit.

That kind of takes the fun out

of things for me.

Are they really though, or do

you?

Yeah, yeah.

Are they?

Yeah, so do.

We have 1 coming.

Yeah, of course.

Perfect.

So, you know, day one goes by

and we're busy as shit and then

day two goes by and we're busy

and shit and day three is always

the day where things are kind of

lingering.

People are pretty, people are

gone and stuff.

So I'm like, OK, I'm just going

to take this thing anyways.

It was.

On the edge I mean, they could

have made it any easier.

So I grabbed this thing and I

brought a 2 hour.

Heaved it up on his shoulder

like it was a sack of potatoes.

Yes, I heaved it up on my

shoulder and I brought it over

to our booth for it to kind of

hang out and apparently the STG

guys went to booth and like he

just that that guy just stole.

That big guy just took our.

Statues.

Freaking tattle tales.

And so, but Matt, Matt obviously

knows me.

So he's like, yeah, well, I

guess you know, hey, he stole.

Guess it is now.

Yeah, what do you what?

I don't know what you're gonna.

Do go get it back for a while.

So they should we should go.

They actually came back.

They.

Weasley guys too.

They were the the minions.

Oh, the grease.

CTG minions.

They they do not even have

names.

But it took three or four of

them to come by and get it

right.

Yes, they came by to pick it up.

I'm like OK cool, no problem.

They took it away.

So how are we going to do this?

Were you guys going to force me

to do it or?

So I went back and I stole it

again.

Yes.

I stole it again and then all of

a sudden I decided to make an

adventure with this thing and I

took it around to everybody in

other booths.

So we took it to Pete Johnson,

Nick Melillo, Eric Espinoza.

Show the Pete Johnson photo.

Yeah, because I took that

afterwards.

Oh, you sent him on a wild goose

chase?

Did you post it after you left

the booth?

Yes.

Yeah, it wasn't like done as he

was going.

It was a a montage of.

Yeah, it was.

It was.

Music.

Very lovely, very done.

Very.

Michael Herklotz.

Yes, everybody in Espinoza

except Anthony Mackie, because

he had already.

Left.

Yeah, Anthony Mackie did not.

There was not a Guy Fieri photo

with him.

Yeah, we don't take.

That he was already gone.

He was.

Already superheroes?

Anthony Mackie refused to take a

photo with the astronaut.

Right.

It was on the couch with Eric.

Michael Herklotz sat on his lap.

Yeah.

It was pretty awesome.

Skip took a picture with it.

Rosales took a picture with it.

Willie Herrera.

Willie Herrera took, I took.

We took numerous photos with all

types of people.

And then they came and got it

again.

Yeah, then they came and got it

again, so.

Up to this point they don't chat

when they come and get it, they

just come and scoop them up and

take them back.

Should have just put a

tablecloth over it.

'Cause now, now this is funny.

And it's like, oh, OK.

Right.

So now this is the the second

time that he's taking it, so he

gets it a third time.

So I stole it again.

The third time.

Now when they come back, they're

trying to reason with him.

Did not take it again.

Wow.

Like, come on, man.

We're getting in trouble.

Yeah, we have to have this back.

It's got to be over there.

We we've given it to someone

else.

Yeah.

So they sort of linger a little

bit.

We were going to take it home.

We were just taking it around

here.

Oh, we were taking, we were

taking it off.

It was going to be in the car

seat, belted in with the three

of us and it was making the

trip.

Yeah.

We were going to leave with it.

Yeah, I was stealing it.

For sure.

So then that was the third time

they came and got it and took it

back.

Yeah.

So then he went and got it

again.

So then I stole it again.

Nice.

Then they sent the Asian dude

over who sort of stroked the

antenna on his head a little bit

and he was kind of being sexual

with it was really

uncomfortable.

He thought he was going to Matt

Booth hit, but only Matt Booth

can.

Matt Booth?

Yeah.

You know you can't.

You can't.

That space has already been

taken in the cigar industry,

right.

And when you try and.

Be the booth.

Yeah, you cannot.

You cannot be the booth.

Is that the Sancho Pazza Ponza

guy?

No, no, no.

It's just, it's a minion.

It's a worker bee.

It's a minion, Worker bee

minion.

But he picked it up and he only

carried it to Jake Wyatt.

Someone else had to come get it.

Oh, he was tired.

It was heavy.

He could not.

He couldn't.

He couldn't carry.

He tried.

He couldn't carry.

He.

Loved to find Jake.

So the big guy came again.

He was very angry.

He didn't like to talk, and he

just took it.

Yeah.

Was it Tony?

Does he working for STG now or?

No, it wasn't Tony.

No.

It wasn't Tony.

No.

Tony was there though.

But he wasn't big Tony.

Yeah.

Tony got it.

Wait, a nice little chat, Big

Tony?

We'll get into that in the

Patreon too.

Yeah, OK, we're now friends.

So I told Matt, I was like, hey,

I'm going to, no, I'm going to

keep it.

And he goes, but it's it's

Keith's.

But it belongs to somebody, but

it belongs to he.

Sounded so defeated.

He did.

I have promised him to another.

He did, you know, and he's.

Giving me 3 goats and promised

to marry my daughter.

You could tell that like he

didn't want to tell me no and he

knew that this was going to be

awkward if I decided to press.

And I was like, all right, dude,

bro.

Please let.

Me.

Just please just don't stop

taking my man so.

I took it again.

So I stole it.

No.

So at that point when they came

and got it for the last time, I

had said OK.

Well, they moved it further in.

It was no longer on the edge of

the booth.

So then I went around.

So Skip says, you know, you

should go around, go around and

kind of peep at it just to

continue to mess with him.

So I did that a few times as.

Well, they see him and then we

were going to steal Matt Booth.

Yeah, I was going to do that,

yeah.

Just heave him up on his

shoulder and carry him away.

But he was he was always busy.

They were going to start

tethering all these things at

Justin Andrews boat loops.

Start tying everything down.

What do you think the big

difference was between New

Orleans and Vegas 'cause this

year was New Orleans and has

been New Orleans for.

I like the show better.

I didn't like the city better.

Yeah, the weather was nicer.

Obviously you.

Didn't like the shooting that

happened up the street?

Well, yeah.

Luckily, we weren't.

Four people were not.

Yeah, where the four people got

shot.

Didn't like the shooting.

No shooting.

The hospitality employees suck

in New Orleans.

Yeah, it was really bad.

It's not alleged they suck.

Yeah.

No, it was.

It was pretty terrible.

I went, we went.

We.

One night got a hamburger at our

hotel because it was like we had

not eaten yet.

And Tammy, Tammy, lovely Tammy.

We finally get her to come over

and take her order after Greg

had to go fetch her.

She looked through US like 3

times.

Oh yeah, right.

Is this really going on?

So then Michael ordered a

hamburger and she goes OK, your

cheese choices are American or

cheddar.

What would you like?

Yeah, and I said American.

And she goes, OK, cheddar.

Obviously, they're out of

American.

Greg.

Greg sort of giggled.

He goes, ma'am.

My brother said American.

So she scribbles on her pet.

Oh, I'm sorry.

So it was cheddar.

No, she brought American the

second time.

How did you Cause.

And then I did want to tax her.

I just said whatever he got,

I'll have the same thing.

Right.

So how did you ask Fears to be

cooked?

I didn't.

Oh, I thought you had said

something 'cause mine was raw.

Yeah, mine was raw too.

Yeah, but at that point it

already been an hour.

I did not care.

I was, yeah.

I mean, I'm sopping up the blood

with my bun.

Yeah, that's as it like it's

sauce.

I like it like that.

I'm not a fan of raw hamburger.

I don't care.

Your brother, oh your brother

got tuna medium something and

his was almost burnt so.

Yeah, you know, it's it's the

mentality in New Orleans was

very we don't give a shit.

We're all smoking dope.

As far as service, it was really

bad.

One night it took me over 2

hours to get red beans and rice.

Oh staple.

That's yeah.

So that's pre made, that's in a

big bucket in the back or

something, but.

The food was good that night.

Well, what?

Your third sandwich.

I only have the second one.

'Cause he ordered, 'cause they

forgot to take Mikey's order,

Franklin forgot to take your

order because you were on the

phone talking to your children.

Yeah, I said.

I'm sorry, I didn't look yet.

Can you come back to me?

Right, so Mikey ordered and then

instantly his sandwich comes

out.

Yeah, an hour and 15 minutes

before anybody else's food show.

There's. 16 of us at this table,

so my wife has taught me not to

eat.

Right.

So he didn't eat.

Everybody's going eat.

It's going to get cold just to

eat.

These are no, no, I have rules I

must abide by.

My wife is watching from

somewhere.

She will know.

How you know you learn to be

courteous to people.

Sure.

Yeah, yeah.

Nobody else has their food yet,

so.

You want to sit there and eat?

But the but 16 people, the food

came out onesie twosies.

So he'd already set the line so

no one else ate?

Yeah.

Everybody.

Else is looking.

So they brought him, brought him

another sandwich.

It was like everyone was looking

at me to eat.

He's got a, he's got a Yeah, he.

Didn't eat, so no, I can't eat

except the one guy over in the

corner.

I forget his.

Name.

I think a couple people want to

beat him.

Rosales started eating his

salad.

He was going to wilt.

He had to eat the salad.

Yeah, it's going to wilt.

It's going to get hot.

I was second to last to get

mine, and then Rosie was last.

Yeah, Rosie was last.

By then, his sandwich was cold

again.

I don't care.

So they.

Brought a new one.

No, at that point you just eat

it.

Yeah.

And I got to wait for another

one.

Yeah, it was pretty bad.

Terrible.

Greg got really upset with me

because I don't like phones at

the table.

Oh, that was the first night.

Yeah, they got in a fight the

first night.

Yeah, I said.

I'm not eating with you for the

rest.

We found one restaurant open

after 10 PMI.

Said put your phone down.

That's kind of par for the

course, right?

Are they get in a fight?

Yeah.

First, Normally it's a little

later.

They had not even, you know, had

time to piss each other off yet.

I got to tell you though, for

this show we had minimal

conflict.

Yeah, other than that, there was

really not.

Any we've gotten a lot better

with a lot of things.

Well, you don't room together

anymore.

That was half the problem that

that very first trip I went on,

right?

We all 3S.

Room we're more organized yes

more you're a huge help thank

you very much Paul was a huge.

Help Paul was a huge.

Help.

Things were set up before we

even walked in, even though we

did show up on time.

It's on which call?

Was earlier?

Well, he was right across the

street.

Right, he was ready to go.

Right.

He had vacuumed and had things

cleaned and set up.

After the first day.

He goes, OK, I know how to do it

now.

Tomorrow it will be ready when

you get here.

It was amazing and he had the

best pockets in the show because

anytime he needed a sample, he's

like.

Bam, there you go.

You want a San Andreas Boom.

Yeah.

Would you like a San Andreas or

a Connecticut?

And they would say, and then I

would just turn and go.

My concierge is here.

My manservant Paul here you call

him.

Country.

I didn't call him.

Manservant.

No.

Yeah, you can't tell.

That's not nice, Manservant.

So yeah, what else do you want

to cover from that?

Let's see here.

What did you 'cause I didn't get

out that much but would?

You still prefer it being in New

Orleans than Vegas even though

the service is terrible?

Yeah, because that that last

night, the service was excellent

at that place.

Yeah.

Kuchong.

So I think we just chose bet

poorly.

Yeah, yeah, Cochon so.

We just got to find out what the

local spots are that are good.

Yeah, well, Blue Bayou, you know

what?

You know what the problem was?

Blue Bayou was over on Canal

Street.

So that's tourist town, right

where I don't think Cochon was

in a oh, I guess it was close to

a couple of hotels, but not far.

So would you rather was in New

Orleans still?

Or I think so.

Me too if it's still in April.

Yeah, it was great.

Yeah, I would watch the.

Weather was amazing.

I would take New Orleans over

Vegas.

Maybe a different hotel?

Do you think?

So it was a little far from the

place.

OK, I didn't mind that.

We had the car, we didn't have

to walk.

Yeah, you know, I guess it was

OK.

Oh, but we're doing that Airbnb

thing next year.

Yeah, we're probably going to do

that.

Yeah, that'd be great.

Then we all we each get 2 rooms

and our own bathroom.

We each get 2 rooms.

Right.

Mike and I shared a room.

Greg had the single.

Because Greg's a pig.

Well, you know what, dude?

And he does his yoga in his

underwear in the.

Morning.

Look at the end of the day,

though, every time he calls, you

know what?

Here's for me, it gives me more

opportunity to talk with you

about other things we're

viewing.

Right.

Well, yeah.

And it's not like the first time

we've shared a room.

We have a a a program on how

things work.

Right, with the tour, we share a

room, we're on the same page.

Right, your shit goes everywhere

and I get this little spot.

On you get a little crevice,

right, Right, right.

Yeah.

And then I have to pack

everything up by myself and I

got a cart thing down three

times.

Well, you got to make a.

Statement we will take a photo

like I said so I will know how

it goes back in because your

wife didn't have a photo photo

for me.

Yeah, next time there'll be a

photo.

Yes, I'm sorry, right as so I'm

packing up all my stuff and he

says well all my stuff is done

and he leaves.

I'm like, well that's not what I

said.

I said there is nothing out that

is mine.

I'm sorry, that's exactly what

he said.

There is nothing out here that

is mine.

So I was slammed the door.

I did not slam the door.

I was getting out of your way

because the one day I sat in the

chair in front of the TVI got

berated for blocking you because

you could not get around.

Well, you blocked me from my bed

and my section of stuff.

It was like, it wasn't like

there was a lot of floor space.

Where else would you like me to

it?

Was like you were trying to

charge a 25% tariff or something

for me to get to my bed, you

know?

And you wouldn't share your M&M?

'S no, yeah, I wouldn't share

them.

They were.

You got mad because I was openly

eating the M and.

M's I made you eat the M&M's.

Well, probably because your wife

had heard that you did.

She did not hear.

I made you eat the M&M's.

You ate the M&M's, I told.

Her, she goes, how's it going?

You go?

He won't let me have M&M and.

M's.

No.

You ate the M&M's.

Don't you lie.

I ate three.

You met Josh Harbarski.

Oh, I did meet Josh Harbarski.

Yes.

Oh, I met Frank Herrera.

Oh, wait.

Frank, Frank.

That's, yeah, that's right.

The premier cigar industry law

guy.

Yeah, you didn't want to talk

about Joshua We.

Can get to Joshua Bershkin one,

but I met Frank first.

I want to mention Frank.

I'll mention Joshua, please.

I have to.

Yeah.

Did you did you approve?

Steve.

Steve.

It's frantic.

I'll.

Approve, Steve.

OK all.

Right.

So we went.

We went the pizza with the with

the Roma crew one of our pizza

nights.

We had a lot of pizza.

We had a lot of.

Pizza, a lot of pizza.

And so Frank showed up.

I I know who Frank is.

I'd never actually met Frank.

So at the end of the evening I

went over to shake his hand and

introduce myself and to say

goodbye and to meet his wife.

And I go, hi, I'm Mike Palmer

with the Pisania.

And he goes, oh, I know who you

are.

I've seen you around.

I'm like, oh this is pretty

cool.

Is it is it good or is it bad?

There he goes.

No, I've seen you roll with

these people.

So yeah, I know who you are.

Like, oh, well, it's lovely

meeting you, Sir.

OK.

Not a podcast guy though.

No, we got a lot of compliments

about the.

Podcast.

A lot of compliments of a

podcast.

Yeah.

Did I tell you about Charlie the

last day?

No.

Oh yeah, you did?

Yeah.

OK, we can tell that story, too.

That's a funny story.

OK.

But then was it day two or three

when Joshua came by?

Day one.

Was that day one?

Yeah, cuz he came by to see how

everything was going.

Yeah.

OK.

Joshua Bursky is in charge of

the PCA.

We have had him on the show

audio.

We have not done a video.

He's not been live right?

So we've never met him.

We've only seen pictures of him

from, you know, mid chest up

right?

He is 5 feet tall.

Oh wow.

So he walks up, he has his

lovely double breasted blue

pinstripe suit on, He's got red

hair and he's got his little

twirly moustache on.

He comes up and he's.

So everything's going guys, you

guys having a good show And I

looked at him and went, you're

Joshua Bersky.

He goes, yes, yes I am.

I go.

You're 5 feet tall.

Like he didn't know.

He had red hair and curly

moustache.

Yeah, Curly Moustache I.

Was almost I.

Sort of awkwardly kept going.

I'm taller than you.

I'm taller than you.

I'm.

I did not realize you were this.

You were not tall.

I'm a giant in comparison to

you, right and.

He took it well.

He's like, yeah.

He gets it.

I'm OK, I'm sure.

I get it, I'm sure I understand.

Probably not the first time he's

heard it.

Very funny, No?

Probably.

Not even the first time that

day, because he's going boot to

boot to boot.

Oh yeah.

Oh, I thought you were taller.

Yeah, I thought you were.

You look so much.

Taller in photos, yeah.

Are you really Joshua Haberty?

And he walked away and I'm

telling everybody to go.

There's a 12 year old that runs.

How did we all not know this?

Oh.

My God, the lollipop kid.

Lollipop.

Dude.

So now when we do his voice, we

will do the lollipop.

There you go.

That's not nice.

No, no, he was very nice.

He seems very sweet and he was

on I still feel weird about the

hot Dolly was.

I'm trying to see what else we

wanted to cover.

OK, so every time Charlie goes

by, because I, I, I get the

impression Charlie doesn't like

me because I'm annoying, right?

And it's fine.

And Charlie's kind of quiet.

He's a little reserved.

He is serious.

When he's at this thing, he's

running, zipping back and forth

back.

So he walks by us a lot now.

He's ago.

Hi, Charlie.

Hi, Charlie.

Oh, boy.

And he doesn't say anything.

Half wheel.

Charlie.

Yeah, Charlie from Half Wheel.

Sorry, he never answers.

Not not a bunch.

He'll leer at me sometimes, give

me a look, maybe a nod.

Never says a.

Word no engagement.

No engagement, yes, no

engagement but he stopped and

talked to Michael and then when

he left and said bye Charlie,

still nothing, nothing at all.

Last day after we we are

breaking it where we breaking

down?

I had broken down.

There was nobody standing there

but me.

So he comes by again.

He's coming right at me.

He's a little walkie, walkie

just he's buzzing to the next

stop.

I go hi Charlie.

He didn't turn a look at me and

he goes, hi, podcast star.

Oh, and they kept walking.

I'm like.

Acknowledgement.

This is perfect.

I've met miniature Joshua

Luberski and now Charlie has

spoken to me.

I It has been three days but I

finally broke him.

I broke him.

Good job next year, Charlie.

You have to look at me when you

look.

At me eye contact.

He has lost a lot of weight.

He looked great.

Yep, his hair was done the first

day.

He looked lovely.

No cashmere though.

No cashmere, no no sweat suit,

no big white hoodie, nothing.

No, no sweatsuit, Yeah.

Yeah, last year every time I saw

him, he had a hoodie on, a

hoodie sweatsuit.

Yeah, I do want to talk about

one other thing and we can talk

more about it on the Patreon

picture.

I am going to say this one thing

though.

Yes, it has come to my attention

that people do not like when I

speak of their issues or things

that they do right.

But I will tell you this, if you

want me to speak good of you,

then do good things 'cause I

don't hate anybody in this

industry.

One guy, right?

Oh yeah, 1.

Guy.

There's one guy.

I do.

There is one guy.

Legitimately.

Allegedly.

And you know, but that goes back

15 years.

Right.

Choose your enemies wisely,

right?

He's definitely my enemy.

He's definitely my enemy.

Apparently his wife was too.

But as far as everybody else is

concerned, if you do good

things, I'll talk about good

things.

If you do bad things, I'm going

to talk about the bad things.

So pay your debts.

I keep receipts.

We didn't attend many of the

after hours PTA.

Event no man.

And by not many, I mean none.

Yeah, we didn't attend.

Any we didn't go to.

Any not even like a Espinoza 1.

Well, no, not really.

The only thing that I really we

generally when you have you go

have dinner and then you're kind

of done.

We did go buy smoke on the

water.

We saw them brief we.

Went to the Espinoza private

roof type thing but we got the

before Espinoza did.

Yeah, we generally we leave

before I I like to be in bed

before midnight.

I saw a.

Video of you guys.

I think it was Richie, or maybe

it wasn't of you guys, but I saw

Danny, Danny in the background

mopping.

What is?

It what?

Danny Daniel.

Yeah.

He was in the background

mopping.

Yeah, yeah, No, I know.

I was like, oh, man, this guy,

he even does it there.

This guy's great.

Dude, the guy that's Daniel,

man, Yeah, that's why he's a a

stand up guy.

Yeah, but the one the one night

that we kind of hung out when it

was still till about midnight.

The last night, no, we went to

the media house.

Oh, they tried it for that?

Then that's that's always the

best night.

We have a great time there every

single year.

It's always good conversation.

Justin Andrews in the building,

he got drilled and Bradley.

Bradley was there.

I love.

Alec and Bradley, yeah.

The actual Bradley of Alec and.

Bradley, you know, him and

Justin look very similar.

You think so?

Really.

They both have robust heads,

yeah.

Black beards, black hair.

They both wear.

Bradley's is obviously more

manly and thicker.

Yeah, I'm glad he's gone back to

the beard.

I like that better than the

mustache.

More stormtrooper uniform kind

of evil.

Empire, yes.

Type of scenario, yes.

Yeah.

Yeah, 3 seconds.

So yes, they they attacked

Justin Andrews and STG killing,

killing cigar brands like

they're small planets.

Well, he came.

He's the Death Star.

He came for me, yes.

He brought up my the short clip

that we talked about, yes.

And I said OK bro.

So and Ben Lee went at him,

sitting on my left.

Yeah, so, so I countered, I

lobbed the grenade into the air

and.

And then the media guys had a

feast.

It was amazing.

It was amazing.

You're saying Justin Andrews

came at you by the short clip?

Yes, OK.

Yeah, yeah.

Where we or he talked about STG.

Yeah, don't come for me, bro.

Right.

Don't come for me.

Coop kept going.

You just wait.

You guys are next.

Yeah, like, yeah.

But once you have some, we have

a bun to pick with you.

Yeah, but once he saw how things

went out when somebody came, I

think he was like, you know

what?

Yeah, then he went inside and

started doing his short clips.

Probably best to go get to work.

Yeah, probably best I go to,

yeah.

You know, fuck those guys and

just kind of.

I don't want to mess with them.

It's very scary.

Yeah.

And Bear and Ben aren't because

they love us so.

Yeah, yeah, I remember.

Developing Palace guys.

Yeah.

And Bradley did have muscle.

The Large.

Scott, I think his name was

Scott the Large.

He's quite the large man.

Must be a security guard.

You think so?

He was tired, sleepy.

He was tired.

And we didn't really come for

Bradley.

No, no, no, no.

We like Bradley.

There's no reason to come like

Bradley I.

Still want to meet Alec though.

We've heard of him.

We've heard, we know there is

one.

He exists, right?

It's like Greg, it's.

Like, yes, people were like, so

you're Greg.

Yeah.

We don't let him out.

We don't let him out much.

I'm sorry.

He doesn't speak much.

All right, Oh, wait, wait, wait.

When the last night in the car

when we're talking about the,

the, the order for the shop up

north and Greg's asking

questions about how they

operate, how they run and stuff.

And he didn't know they had a

podcast and none of that right.

And he's going, well, somebody

should probably go up there,

right?

And we were like, you should go.

Right.

Yeah, yeah.

Greg goes, I'll go.

They were like, no, you can't

go.

No, you're not allowed.

You're not allowed to talk to

people.

You can't go.

No, I go.

We'll give you a big bucket of

change.

You can count the money.

And then Mikey and I'll go.

Yeah.

We thought it was hilarious at

9:00 last night in the car, but

right now it doesn't seem as

funny.

He was pretty bitter.

But Speaking of new accounts and

up north, yes, shout out to

David Garofalo of Two Guys.

That was the one I was talking.

About I know I didn't know you

want to do that or not, so I was

just letting that go.

But OK, you're really good at

throwing me under the bus.

How's that throwing you under

the bus like?

Oh, no, that's.

Oh, you mean like what, the last

episode when I was trying to not

mention a person or something,

you're like, oh, you mean this

person exactly like I was?

Well.

That's why I didn't mention it.

I beat around the Bush as much

as.

Human as possible try my best to

protect you because you didn't

mention the retailer.

So then I was leading into, hey,

shout out to David Garofalo 2

guys because he's a good guy and

we had a good.

Interaction I thought you were

going into.

That's who you were talking

about?

No.

You are the number one podcast.

No, he's not.

He's #2 he's #2 But he's a cool

guy, He.

Is very nice.

He did what he said he was going

to do.

He told me he goes, I can't set

an appointment but I will come

by.

Yep, not expecting him to bring

the buyer.

I thought she was going to come

by and say hi and just hang out.

Yeah.

And normally when you hear that,

you're like, OK.

Yeah, OK.

You know, maybe he won't come

by.

Yeah, got delivered.

He did.

Had a good conversation with

him, you know, so.

And apparently Greg's going to

go up there and he's going.

To go up there and work the shop

great.
