ACHP 465 Superbowl Post Show
Transcript
Everybody.
Ready now?
This is how we're gonna start.
Yeah, we're gonna start.
This is how it's gonna go, huh?
OK, welcome to is the Guy
Hustler podcast episode 465.
I'm Mike Ballmer, the only man
in America that has not watched
one second of the Super Bowl.
No way I.
Didn't watch any of it.
You're kidding me.
Nope.
Didn't watch a thing.
You didn't watch a single second
of the Super Bowl.
No, but this morning I did watch
all the important stuff for us
to talk about.
You didn't watch Patrick Mahomes
play he.
Wasn't playing, was he?
Yeah, he was on the.
Chiefs didn't play.
Yeah, no, no, he's no longer
there.
Yeah, he's on Seattle.
Is he really?
Yeah.
You guys are lying.
I guess he knows enough about
sports.
She don't.
I'm your host and with me today,
as always, is Phil Prop Bet,
Mcguffey, Bing Bong and
Engineering.
Did your prop bets pay off?
Not for the Super Bowl, no.
They did not.
No day before Super Bowl was
good, but not the Super Bowl.
Every I I do know Drake lost
$1,000,000.
Drake.
Yeah.
OK.
That's that's not, I mean, it's
a lot, but I read who's dating
the that Cardi B that as the
baby from the football.
Stephon Diggs.
Yeah.
She paid 1.2 million for her and
her crew to go to the Super
Bowl.
Oh.
Yeah, but that, I mean, yeah,
it's a lot of money.
It's a lot of money and
engineering and my Co host
Mikey.
I chose so bad for the Super
Bowl winner you'd think I was
one of the money makers.
Stephane Kevitch.
I what?
Chose so bad you went on and on
how the Patriots are going to
win last week.
Yeah.
Well, they didn't win.
I chose so bad.
Wow.
You that you're one of the money
makers, it's more of a knock at
the money makers than you.
So just relax, just take it and
just move on, OK?
We do make money, we just didn't
make money in the Super.
Bowl I don't know if you make
money.
OK.
I don't, Yeah.
From our general assessment and
from our viewers assessment.
Total earnings of the money
makers may not equal total
losses of the money maker.
And that's, and that makes you
sound like a true degenerate
gambler because then you only
talk about the your WS and you
don't really talk about your LS.
You know, like man, I made $5000
this week.
Great.
How much did you lose last week?
10,000 But that's not important.
Right now, not important.
Right now I I'm on the I'm in
the black on this week.
You want to know what makes it
the degenerate gambler when
people don't win their parlays
and then they I hear them go,
you know what, I'm going to go
buy a scratch off, maybe I'll
win that.
Go off.
Scratch off.
So somebody said that to you?
Yeah, I'm like, why would you
waste more money like?
No, come on Ginger, get with the
program.
Oh, it wasn't it's.
The only other money maker.
The only other mother maker's
name right now.
It's Robbie Doyle right there,
buddy.
That's.
Why that does sound like a
Robbie Doyle?
Is Robbie Doyle one of money
makers?
No.
Well yeah he is, but I don't
know if he played.
Does he do scratch offs?
I have no idea.
He seems like a cheap guy, I
don't think he would buy a
scratch off.
He's a casual money maker.
Yeah.
All right, on today's show,
we're all about the Super Bowl
info.
Then the Navy lost a secret
weapon.
A Maryland paramedic went all
in.
And then in cigar news, we have
a new portal entry, A new cigar.
Price increases.
Tarrant No, no price increases,
but Terrence Riley turns 109.
And then we end the show with a
big What's the score?
All right.
But first, Mikey, how do we get
some of that chapter?
Pod football swag.
Well, we have no football swag
unfortunately, but what you want
to do is check out Chapter
pod.com for all of your podcast
swag where you buy 1, you get
the 2nd 140% off, and if you
spend $100 or more, you're going
to get free shipping.
I did just get the hats in.
Oh.
Yes, like since you were here.
Yeah, I ordered.
No, yeah, I ordered.
I ordered them and they came.
They arrived Friday.
Oh, so you have them home?
Oh, you should have brought.
One yeah, I guess I should have
brought one yeah, but I needed I
wanted to get it and have like
my physical hands on it so I can
actually measure where I think
what will work as far as like a
oh I.
Just want to see a blank one
press.
Just see how they fit.
I'll bring it tomorrow, OK, I'll
bring it tomorrow.
So that's coming soon.
Nice.
That's coming soon, hopefully.
Don't.
Don't put a date on it.
Yeah, don't put a date on.
It Yeah.
Bad idea.
Bad idea.
It's coming soon.
We.
Have people making their own.
Beanies, I saw that.
He'll smoke pot.
Making his own beanie man and it
looked great.
I'd love.
One that was nice.
Yeah.
Nice piece of paper on that.
It was nice.
It was a big patch too.
Yeah, it was big.
Huge it looked.
Great, that was nice.
Oh man.
Is that considered counterfeit?
Are we being knocked off now?
Yeah.
Trademark in frames.
Calling our attorneys.
You'll be hearing from my
lawyer.
That's right.
Yes.
OK.
All right, Well, let's go.
All right.
Let's get into the Super Bowl,
yeah.
Oh, by the way, like and
subscribe wherever viewing or
watching.
And now let's get into the Super
Bowl.
All right.
First off, I have a question.
Yeah, well, first of all, you
didn't see it so.
Well, it doesn't matter.
All the stuff I'm going to talk
about I have seen, and then I
let you guys do the sporty
stuff.
OK, All right, Since most people
have to work or go to school on
Monday, should the Super Bowl be
moved to Saturday?
No, OK, why?
It's because just deal with.
It I know why he's asking.
I saw this on one of the
commercials or something, or on
the radio or something.
They asked that question.
It is the number one.
Call out day.
Call out day other year.
Yes, because it's a national
thing.
Up north, it's hunting, but for
for nationwide it is the call in
day.
OK, well, I mean, you know, like
the guy, you know, I have a guy
that works out with me right
now, right?
He obviously couldn't make it,
you know, couldn't.
Make it, yeah.
And then he's going to give you
some excuse.
Yeah, that's going to be the
greatest thing about it.
Because I just woke up like I
got it.
Like, well, I'm finished.
What time did the game end?
Oh, like a 10/30.
Yeah, it was early 'cause they
went quick.
Oh well, that's not too bad.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Like you know, even with some of
my friends that were at the
house like all right, as of like
the 4th ground, 4th ground,
fourth down, fourth quarter.
Fourth quarter.
Was winding down.
What all the football
terminology?
Was as the fourth quarter was
winding down, they started to
kind of like, all right, well,
I'm tired, I'm going to leave
and like, aren't you tired?
I'm like probably going to be up
for the next two hours.
Before you're up smoking anyway.
You know, so was just going to
call it Sunday for me.
I don't, I don't know what to
tell you, but yeah, no, I like
it.
Keep it on Sunday.
That's fine.
Is there a reason they play on
Sunday?
Is it just tradition I.
Just think that that's when they
started super.
The football was always on
Sunday so.
Football Sunday, man.
Football Sunday.
Yeah.
All right.
Just curious.
What do you think, boots?
Do you think it should be moved
to Saturday?
No, that's college day.
Yeah.
Was there college games on
Saturdays?
That's over.
Look man, I like my Saturdays.
Right.
Don't mess them up.
Date night, Friday, Saturday's
like maybe a make up date night
and then Sunday is, you know,
God's day and football.
Day a year, it's not like every
weekend they're playing the
Super.
Bowl No.
Leave it the way it is.
Yeah, Palmer, stop trying to
change.
It yeah, I'm not changing it,
just curious why it was on
Sunday.
Don't mess with my pots and
pans.
How's that sound?
You're pretty.
You're pretty determined though,
to know the answer from us.
Yeah, you, yeah.
I mean you're, you're eager to
get it moved to Saturday, so you
can not watch it on Saturday.
No, I don't care what day it's
on.
It could be on Tuesday as far as
I care, but still not watching
it.
Did it mess up the figure
skating Olympics for you?
No, I'm watching the Olympics
either.
What about the swimming?
Just read the Just the
highlights when I'm looking for
stuff to talk about on here.
Did you see Lindsey Vonn go
down?
I did see that in a replay,
yeah. 13 seconds in, she snaps
her leg.
Yeah.
She hooked the flag or whatever
with her arm spunner.
Jeez, yeah, had the airlifter in
a helicopter.
They did.
Yep, Yep.
That guy looked like he was
having a good time.
Helicopter.
Guy, helicopter guy, there you
go.
Hey, I get to rescue somebody.
He's hanging in the air.
Yeah, he's like, it's go time.
Yeah, the camera's on me.
Yeah, we're going to ride in the
helicopter.
Some figure skater did some
backwards flip.
That's illegal, but he did it
anyway.
Oh yeah, that's that's the boy.
Yeah, it was a man, I said.
That's the guy.
The boy.
Well, he's, yeah, he's only like
19 or something like.
That he's pretty good.
It's an outlawed move because
it's too dangerous, but he went
fuck it but doing it anyway.
Yeah, really.
Yeah.
And he got it and.
He did it successfully too, so I
guess he got disqualified.
I don't know.
How that worked?
He got dequeued.
I don't know.
I didn't.
I didn't see the outcome.
Just how it happened.
Imagine was spending all that
time practicing just to get that
far and say, you know what I'm
going to do?
Well, I mean the girl, 13
seconds in she snapped her leg.
Last.
Time.
Oh, he did it on purpose.
Yeah.
Yeah, she didn't.
He accidentally tripped and back
flipped into this.
Amazing.
Lindsay Von didn't wake up at
the top of the slope.
So you know I'm going to blow
out my legs, right you?
Know well she was skating with a
knee brace.
She just had knee surgery.
Yeah.
I mean, that's incredible, yeah.
Yeah, 'cause she's been training
for years before this, so yeah.
She's 41 years old.
Yeah, she would have been the if
she would have medaled, she
would have been the oldest gold
medalist in history, damn it,
for America.
Tom Brady's gonna break that
shit in two years anyways.
Fly football, yes.
Let's.
Go.
All right, The national anthem
with Charlie Putnam, everybody's
talking about that because if it
was emotional enough.
Oh, did you feel that?
It was emotional, the.
Is.
Normally I guess when they see
it, they put more emotion into
it.
He just sort of straight sing
it.
Yeah, I mean to me it not only
did he not only straight sing
it, but he was under the normal
average of the length of time.
There goes again, Vegas just
screwing everybody, no?
You know, no long crescendos,
no.
You damn right Vegas is involved
in.
That.
You know, every time it's over,
every single time it's over,
right?
And he was Rockets red glare.
We're out of here.
I mean, that was a fast Yeah, he
backed it in.
I need to get my 5 mil.
Yeah, it was the shortest video
I had to watch.
This morning.
I mean, it's perfectly
acceptable.
Yep, it's for him.
Like it's not doesn't directly
affect the game, like, right.
Hey yo, this is what we need
from you.
Right, need you to sing.
Fast and we need you to get it
under 2 minutes, OK?
Right.
And you notice how they show the
Gatorade color at the end?
Yeah, of.
Course.
It's like, well, normally you
don't see it until it's on the
coach and you're like, oh, but
they showed it did.
They must have been everybody.
Everybody must have been on
blue.
Damn.
It everybody been on blue,
everybody been on black?
Someone switched the Gatorade.
Right.
They got to know beforehand.
Somebody's got to know what the
Gatorade color is beforehand.
Yeah, I'm sure the guy that
brings the packet, yeah.
We got to get that guy on the
take.
I mean, there's a couple easy
things that we could do here to
make a ton of money, right?
For one, the streaker.
Oh yeah.
Was there a streaker?
Yes.
Was it this same guy as last
time bet all the money on the
streaker, then he streaks or
he'd get the money.
We're.
Willing to I'm I'm willing to
bet that this man.
Had money on it, yeah.
Had had something on the line.
Money on the street.
Because you don't spend the
money to go to the Super Bowl to
get to the 50 yard line to jump
out and run for fun.
Right.
It was probably like the like
the dildo guys.
That's probably the same one.
Yeah, the guys are thrown on the
court.
Like, come on, bro.
That's the color I'm going to
bet blue all.
Sorts of things to.
Bet.
Them.
Yep.
Do they always have a camera in
the fly over planes or was that
a new thing?
Last night they showed the
pilots of the bomber.
In the military, yeah.
They have cameras in the
military plane.
Is that what?
You're saying?
Yeah, I think they've done that
before.
Do they?
Yeah, they said.
I don't watch but I did.
I'm not positive, but I think
they've done they've done that
before.
I thought that was neat.
OK, alright.
What did you guys think of the
halftime show?
I thought it was great.
Big big Bunny, angry Bunny,
Whatever.
His name is Bad Bunny.
Yeah, I, I had no idea what he
was saying, but I thought it was
neat.
I liked it.
Oh, so you watched it?
I told you I watched all these
things.
Yeah, but you didn't watch the
show.
Well, I fast forwarded through
the halftime show.
It was 13 minutes, so I made
sure I saw everybody was saying
right, but I didn't watch it
start to finish.
Yeah, I thought it was good.
I like, yeah, I had no argument
with that.
I know.
I mean, could they have put
words at the bottom so he knew
what he was saying?
I mean.
He could do.
That one of the subtitles.
Yeah, I had to see what he was
singing about.
I have no idea.
I mean, I enjoyed the show.
It'd be nice to know what he was
saying.
Oh, OK.
I, you know, I, I thought it was
good.
To be honest with you, he's
singing like number one hits in
the past two years.
Well, he's one of the biggest
Hardesty.
Bigger than the the blonde girl.
Lady Gaga.
No, no the Carrie Underwood.
No, Taylor.
Yeah, Taylor Swift.
Oh, the blonde girl.
She's on.
She's on your team, Palmer.
Yeah, dude.
I mean, I don't remember her
name.
There were some bad calls in
that play in that game.
Oh yeah, it was crazy that there
was only the first penalty was
like what, third quarter?
Not end of the game yet.
Everybody relax.
Oh, OK.
You guys could talk about the
bad.
I knew you there was going to be
bad place.
There's always bad.
The Bad Bunny was good.
Yeah, I thought that the the
halftime show was fine.
Did you watch any of the
alternate halftime show at all?
No, I'm not getting up and
changing the channel.
Yeah, me either.
Do you not have a remote?
I'm not, I'm not moving.
I'm not, I'm, I'm a thumb
Princess.
I'm not doing it.
Yeah.
This thing stays intact, you
know.
You couldn't have yelled at one
of the children?
I'm in.
I didn't change the channel.
No, there's no, I'm not going.
No, I'm not doing it.
However, I do like the fact that
there is like a, a, like a, a
counter.
You know, whether it's political
or not, I think that there
should always be like another
option.
An option?
Yeah, like so if you chose to.
Yeah, if I wanted to watch the
other artist, I could.
It's not a bad idea.
I think that that's fine.
Run it up against them at all
times.
I think I got good enough
ratings where they'll probably
do it again.
Really.
Yeah, I think that that that's
good.
Yeah, that's good.
But I don't, you know, like I
don't want the politics in it.
I just want, I just want other
artist options.
You know, the off halftime show
to be on the table.
Yeah, I mean, first of all, the
Super Bowl halftime show is for
an artist that is usually, you
know, a big time artist, right?
And that's some more exposure
for him stuff.
I think having the other show is
kind of like, man, he kind of
like watered this guy down like
everybody did.
Well, that's the strategy, yeah.
That's the whole intention of
that, is to take away from the
views.
That's why they do it.
That's messed up.
Of course you got to love that.
It's a good strategy.
All eyes are pinned at this.
How do we get some of those
eyes?
Like that's marketing.
They they maybe they shouldn't
have done all white people on
the alternate.
One I didn't watch all white.
People.
Was it all white people?
It was it was like Kid Rock,
Jelly roll, some country girl.
I don't, I don't remember who it
was.
Yeah.
And there was another white guy.
Taylor Swift.
No, it wasn't Taylor Swift, the
blonde.
The blonde, the brunette, the
redhead.
No.
So you watched both?
No, I didn't.
I just saw it on Facebook.
I saw the lineup, the four
lineup.
That was it.
I strategically made it so that
both sides hate me.
After saying that all the.
Things I do right, just for the
record.
You have offended both sides.
Good gradually.
I've, I've, I've upset everyone
at this point, but I thought, I
thought the halftime performance
was great.
I thought the Bad Bunny thing, I
thought it was good.
I enjoyed it.
All those trees were people.
Yeah, I saw on on bar stools,
they all kind of came waddling
out.
That was pretty smart.
How do you get something done
fast?
Put people.
In, you know, just make them all
people.
What else?
What was?
What's your favorite halftime
show so far out of all the years
that you've seen?
The one with Dre was in it.
Who?
Doctor Dre.
So that was just a few years
ago.
Yeah, that wasn't I I mean, I
saw that one.
Dre.
Really.
OK, Yeah, that was a big deal.
All right.
All right, commercials.
What about you?
What was your favorite halftime
show?
I don't watch it every year, so
I can't tell you I.
Mean this is the first halftime
show you've ever seen.
No, he said he watched the
Doctor Dre one.
I watched the Doctor Dre one
too.
OK, other than that I can't
think of.
One so OK did.
You shoot Shakira.
Justin Timberlake, because they
showed what?
Their name's Boo?
I don't know.
That's a fair statement.
I'm not going to lie if you say
that, I'm OK with that.
No, I wouldn't it.
I don't.
I don't.
They showed a clip of 1.
I can't remember who the guy
was.
He was a country singer.
Chris Stableton.
He didn't do halftime.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't remember it was they
showed one this morning as a
when I found this one on YouTube
they showed a country western as
a equivalent or a compare or
something.
I don't remember who it was
though.
Might have been Travis Tritt.
Might.
Have been?
Dang, you talking about old?
Yeah, that was old.
That was old.
Not a lot of special, not a lot
of special effects in that one
it.
Was that Super Bowl too?
Might have been, might have
been.
I mean, there've been a lot of
stars that have done halftime
shows.
Yeah, yeah, it's a big deal to
get asked.
Yeah, I think the Prince 1 is
probably the best one.
Oh yeah.
OK.
Well, go ahead and continue now,
all right?
With whatever the commercials,
now we talk about the
commercials, OK.
Because he watched those.
No.
Well, I watched some this
morning.
I didn't.
How can I flip over and not
watch the the the show but just
watch the commercials?
As soon as the football comes
back on, you're like, oh God,
change it.
Change it.
Oh, oh, change it.
The top ten funniest ones I
didn't think were were that
funny.
The ones.
But that's just somebody's
choice, though.
OK.
So I like the William Shatner
one I.
Didn't see it.
It was for Raisin Bran, but he
called himself William Shat
because he it was all about
fiber.
And.
Then it was a Shih Tzu dog.
And he goes, that dog, a Shih
Tzu.
It's very.
That's good, OK.
The Shih Tzu, the tight end
commercial, was the best one.
That was funny too.
Yeah, I saw that one this
morning.
The Kendall Kardashian one was
funny.
Did you see that one?
I feel like I missed that one
too.
It was for a betting app and
there's a Kardashian curse
because every player that she
has ever dated, he's lost.
Oh, really?
So she does it on purpose
because, and then she would go
like this car, this was from
boyfriend #2 right?
This airplane was boyfriend #3
and somebody asks her if she's
betting somebody else.
She goes, well, I do need a
yacht.
Got it.
Funny.
And then she goes, it's a
Kardashian Kirch.
My name is not even Kardashian.
Wow.
And she's Jenner.
Right, right.
Wow, I thought.
That one was funny making fun of
itself.
I like the self deprecating ones
right?
Right.
The one with the oh crap I can't
think of his name.
Ben Affleck.
No, that one was actually was
OK.
Yeah, I think that was my
favorite one.
That one wasn't bad at all, but
I thought they were gonna did
they were they gonna show the
video on the tape?
Did that happen later in the
game?
No.
OK, so I don't know how that
happened then I feel.
Like I didn't see any of these
commercials.
You didn't see the Dunkin'
Donuts one with Ben Affleck.
I had everybody in it.
No, I didn't.
Oh, I don't know what to tell
you.
I was there.
I watched.
Did you watch commercials?
Is that when you got up to go
get snacks and maybe?
Feeding time?
No, it was feeding time.
Crap, I can't think of his name.
Oh well, not important.
I guess not.
The Budweiser commercial was
pretty good, yeah.
It was OK.
You didn't like it with the
eagle?
Oh the Eagle 1?
I like that one.
I thought you meant the Bud
Light one where they all rolled
down the hill.
No, the Eagle.
Peyton Manning was in it with
the baby horse.
Yeah, that one was nice.
I like.
That one, Yeah, the Lay's one.
The Lay's potato chip one.
Oh, that, that was cool.
But the way they did it.
Yeah.
But who's the blonde?
She was somebody famous.
Who's the blonde on what
commercial?
The Pringles.
Oh, that was the that was I did.
I was talking with the Lay's
potato chip.
Oh.
I was thinking Pringles.
There's the the Pringles.
They come in a tube.
Right, but they she built the
Pringles boyfriend.
Yeah.
I have no idea, but the Lays 1
was like a, you know, passed
down to generation to generation
potatoes.
And that, that's what Lays does.
Yeah, it was lovely.
Ben, Ben Stiller.
That's the one.
I think that one was terrible.
Yeah.
Shot like an old Timey
commercial.
Yeah, Yeah, that one was stupid,
all right.
I didn't like that one at all.
They said that you notice how
there was a lot of Lays
commercials?
Yeah, they said.
Well, my source, not sure how
reliable, but he has not been
wrong before, right when he's
told me things.
Robbie Doyle.
He analyzed news, where he was
going.
Yeah, so he he said.
Definitely been wrong before,
but anyways, continue.
So he said that he knows like a
couple of the people that own
farms that do it for Lays.
Yeah, he said that they're
losing a lot of money, so that's
why they're advertising a lot.
What?
Do you mean they're losing a lot
of?
Money because he said, he said
that there was some types of
type of statistic from Lays that
people that are in Ozempic, 16%
of them never touch a potato
chip again.
I'm like, wait a second, how
long has this study been going
on for 'cause I feel like
Ozempic's only been around for a
little bit.
So people are, people are eating
healthier.
So we're like, wow, this is a
big problem.
This is a big.
Place for Lays, that's a big
problem, yeah.
Nobody's eating our our carbs.
Really need to advertise OK.
Well, they got to eat them on
Mondays.
That's Carb Day.
Yeah, and now it comes in a
pill.
That commercial was on the Super
Bowl.
I don't know how how effective
that that's going to be in a
pill.
I'd like to find out though.
Would you?
Yeah.
You would take it.
Yeah, if it was good, but I need
at least like 10 years.
You want to do the shot.
Yeah, why don't you do?
The shot, I'm good.
Why?
Wouldn't you do the shot?
You don't like shots?
Well, get your wife to give it
to you.
I don't.
I don't like shots.
It doesn't matter who's giving
it to me.
I don't think anybody likes
shots.
And nobody.
Yes, I take the pill.
Nobody's like, hey, I'm looking
forward to the shot.
Right.
Hey, there's a shot here.
Or there's a pill here.
Which one do you want?
Right, Alice in Wonderland's
Going with the Pill.
What if the shot the shots got
to be faster?
Shots got to be more effective.
I don't know, right?
Because you know it doesn't have
to dilute through your digestive
system.
Correct.
See.
Look, he's a doctor.
And he's just I like gave.
Herself, the shots when she did
it, yeah.
Yeah, I'm not doing a shot.
OK, she gives herself AB vitamin
shot in the stomach every
Saturday or whatever, however
often it is.
Dear God.
OK, dear God.
All right.
So moving on, what else you got?
All right, now you guys talk
about the game.
Oh wow, what do you want?
To say about that, there's no
point like you have no points
over there.
No, I didn't want to watch the
game to get points.
What?
Do you want to say about the
game the the paths look
terrible?
I mean, look, let's be honest.
That's OK, let's be honest.
I do like the Pats and I really
was ruined from the wind even.
No, I'm a Dolphin fan, but
really probably should have been
Denver.
If Bo was healthy, I don't think
the Patriots would have got past
them.
Look, man, I, I don't think
that's the case.
I think that the, you know, I
think a lot of mistakes were
made online, mistakes were made,
quarterback mistakes were made,
receiver mistakes.
That was the biggest one.
Like there's a, there was a ton
of, you know, you couldn't
overcome those because they
everything went wrong for them.
So defense looked good.
Yeah, Defense Gonzalez, he
played played a really good
game.
Dude Wildman, Yeah, give that
pay that guy.
Right.
I mean, and and what's really
crazy is like, you know, you got
some good receivers on that
team, man.
And those guys just weren't
catching the ball like, well, I
don't know what Hunter Henry was
doing well.
They were throwing.
He was throwing it too fast.
You think so?
Yeah.
They weren't getting to their
spots.
So the timing was off.
Yeah, but like, here's the the
part that drives me wild or it
drives me mad, right?
I don't understand how the
commentators flat out say, and
this wouldn't have changed the
outcome of the game.
So that's not what I'm saying.
The commentators make a blatant
statement of, hey, that D was
the defense was offsides, right?
And the rest didn't see it and
they didn't call it, right?
I don't know how that's missed.
Oh, I mean even like the when
the guy punched the Patriot guy.
I don't know how that's missed.
That, I mean, it wasn't missed.
It was all over the TV.
Throw a flag.
Well, that was why they couldn't
do anything, because there was
never initially a flag thrown.
So here and again, you're at the
you're at like the top of this
sport at the highest level and
you guys still can't get this
right.
Right.
And these are the best referees.
Right there was an offsides that
was blatant for me.
I backed it up to show everybody
I'm like, that's offsides and
like, what do you mean?
Listen here, let me show you
backed it up.
You know, the right guard's
going to move before the ball
gets snapped and he takes three
steps back.
He does that thing which I can't
stand, but he got to jump on.
He got to jump on it, right?
Right.
Like oh, you mean a false start?
Yeah, I'm sorry, false start,
right?
So I'm like and there's no flag.
No, Yeah, yeah, no, there was
definitely a lot of calls
missed.
And the the craziest one was
that when the guy punched the
Patriot dude, I'm like, that is
a immediate ejection.
Like it's not even a question.
How about the guy shove digs on
the outside?
Out of bounds, yeah, there
should have been at least 2
ejections and there should have
definitely been a penalty
because if they would have got
that penalty then they would
have got another first down and
you would have another 4 downs
to play, you know.
But that didn't happen.
They had to punt right after.
That Do you think that the NFL
did not want to see New England
win?
Maybe.
Maybe.
You know what I mean.
Could have been possible?
Should I get my tinfoil hat out?
I mean, there was a lot of bets
on Patriots to win.
Where were they?
Oh yeah.
I mean, that was Drake's bet on
the Patriots money line.
Really. $1,000,000 to win 2.5.
Wow.
Right.
Well, outright.
Oh wow.
Outright, yeah, OK.
And there's some guy that's I, I
don't know his name, but I guess
he's like the one of the biggest
gamblers there is.
Robbie Doyle again.
No, not Robbie Doyle.
Not Robbie Doyle.
But he put more than that on
Patriots.
Yeah, money line.
So yeah, something happened.
Look.
Yeah, it could have been better.
I mean, this will, this is Drake
May's second year, right?
He's going to come back.
Yeah.
Yeah, this.
He's a good quarterback.
You know, it's just this is his,
he's on a big stage man as a
second year quarterback.
What is he, 22?
And and what's the one lineman
that just got mold down?
With.
Anderson or something like.
That, yeah.
The entire game.
That was a rookie, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Right, right, rookie, How?
How was your?
Book that TV show.
I watched an episode of that
last night actually.
How was your book?
I didn't read a book.
The one that you read while we
were talking.
Oh.
It was very nice.
Yeah, yeah.
Good.
OK.
I actually had a snack.
Oh, good.
All right, so.
One more thing, One more thing.
Kenneth Walker played a hell of
a game.
The running back for Seattle.
Wow, that dude can run.
Who was MVP?
Kenneth Walker.
Was he?
Yep.
OK.
I thought he saw there was a
quarterback was MVP.
Is that with that guy?
No, he talked afterwards 'cause
they wanted to hear from the
quarterback of the winning side.
Oh yeah, the ginger.
They had a Unicorn.
It does make me happy though the
the The Jets starting queue
Super Bowl champ.
Oh, I saw that too.
Yeah.
He's played on other teams, but
now he won't.
Now he's done the Super Bowl.
Yeah.
There was actually a kid.
He's one of the defensive ends
for Seattle.
He played for Mainland High
School in Daytona.
Oh, really?
Yeah, no kidding.
Yeah.
That's cool.
We should get him in on the
show.
I.
Wonder if he's available?
You'd reach out to him, Butch.
I don't know.
Well, maybe I'll, I'll ask some
people that went there.
Hey.
You want to come on the Cigar
House Podcast?
That would be awesome.
On the most famous cigar
podcast, that's how you, that's
how you do it, Yeah.
OK.
All right, let's go.
Then he goes, oh, I love two
guys.
And he goes, no, no, not that.
10 I love coop.
No, that's not that one either.
Cigar Authority.
It's great, all right. 36
assassin dolphins are missing in
the Gulf of Mexico.
OK.
Wait a second, You didn't watch
the Super Bowl, but you're going
to talk about this?
Have you wait a second?
So like before you even get into
so like the Navy has created
these dolphins that when they
they if someone goes into a
specific water, they jam you.
They like head head butt you and
kill.
Them.
Apparently they have dart guns
mounted on them.
What?
That's even better?
Military dolphins are real, but
the details are disputed.
The United States Navy has
openly acknowledged training
dolphins for decades to detect
mines, guard ships and identify
underwater threats, but it
denies claims that they are
armed dolphins.
But they are missing 36 dolphins
in the Gulf of Mexico.
That's awesome. 36 experts
investigated alleged that up to
36 train Bottlenose Dolphins
escaped during a storm from a
coastal facility was breached,
potentially carrying equipment
like marker devices and more
controversial toxic dart
mechanism.
Oh, they said this.
Oh, so they admitted it?
Yes.
OK.
Accident investigator Leo
Sheridan says sources tied to
U.S.
Marine fisheries confirmed
dolphins escaped, while the Navy
insists no dolphins were there.
36 dolphins.
There's no dolphins.
What dolphins?
What dolphins?
No dolphins there at all.
Dolphin assassins?
That sounds like a it could be a
Disney movie like a Pixar.
I don't dolphin assassin.
Yeah, where they escape like I
need to go home.
Where they can escape, right?
Yeah, but I got this thing
mounted on my back.
And then and they run around in
the ocean protecting it like
saving it from evil other
animals.
Great Free Willy 20 coming in
soon, you know.
Free Willy, but it's written in
blood.
Yeah, it is the revenge.
Revenge.
So they've been trained for
attack detection and recovery
missions since the Cold War era,
but there is no public proof
that any dolphins were armed or
hostile, or even posed a threat
to.
Civilians under no lasers.
Under the lasers?
That's on the sharks.
Oh, come on.
We have trained sharks too.
No, just dolphins.
I would love some trained
sharks.
Dolphins are easier to train.
Yeah, isn't that what was in the
awesome powers?
Sharks with lasers.
Sharks with the yeah, sharks
with lasers, correct?
Yes.
Sharks with freaking laser beams
on their head.
All right, public service goes
way too far.
A Maryland paramedic busted for
peeing on the job.
OK, it's not that he peed.
It's where he peed.
Oh, can't wait to hear this must
be another R Kelly.
He's.
Facing 23 criminal charges after
investigators say deliberately
contaminated food, drinks and
workplace services with urine.
Oh, he was angry.
Wow.
Some of it allegedly filmed when
he was on duty and in uniform.
Wow, they have surveillance.
This is a bad look.
There's peeing everywhere.
OK, So what happened?
Prosecutors claim the bodily
fluids were left in places,
including a refrigerator.
Just tell me in the chili, the
coffee Creamer, the ice machine,
the orange juice soap dispenser,
somebody's chapstick.
That's a lot of piss.
Even a Firehouse Ice.
Scoop.
Oh.
He peed at the Firehouse.
Yes, he was on duty and got
pissed off at somebody and just
started peeing on everything.
I thought he was on a bus
driver.
Oh.
Look, Chapstick, here we go.
Poo.
He's a paramedic.
He's a paramedic.
How did you pee a little bit and
then hold it for that long to
get like?
The Creamer out water on shift
and eat every time he had to pee
you in.
Who knows?
He pissed on everything.
Pissed on everything.
Yeah, he was he retiring.
No, no, the picture, he was, you
know, 30 something year old guy
he looked like.
Yeah, he was angry.
Was it a Deltona firefighter?
No.
It was Maryland, Maryland.
He.
Doesn't listen.
No, I didn't.
So authorities allege he
recorded and distributed the
acts online, attempting to
profit by selling the videos on
subscription platforms.
He's just doing.
It to make money.
Don't you read this beforehand
that?
Was.
Funnier, but we talked about
this that you're going to read
it beforehand so we could have a
normal conversation.
Part of it.
I didn't read that part.
But like you've now, you've
rattled off 30 minutes and stuff
and we haven't had like our back
and forth normal conversation
that we've been talking.
We've been talking the whole
goddamn time.
Just about sports.
You didn't talk about the
Dolphins hardly at all, except
you want lasers.
You did impersonations.
Dude.
I read the dolphin story.
OK.
Are you mad 'cause there was
football yesterday?
Yeah.
I don't know what's the problem.
That was easy.
Football ate up 30 minutes worth
of stuff.
Like, hey, this, you know, I
even complimented him on the
last show.
I said, Ed, you did a great job.
The way that you handled it,
like the whole back and forth,
the way that the conversation
just kind of flowed.
And he's like, thanks so much.
I'm going to go back to reading
the fucking teleprompter.
Yeah, I told him how nice this
shirt was.
When I came down with.
He didn't say anything.
All these I.
Didn't say anything about the
shirt.
Wow.
Andy's deaf.
All these, all these nice
things.
It's like, it's like I'm talking
to my kid.
I can compliment him on
something like perfect.
Now I'm gonna go mess this up.
I'm gonna go bash the hell out
of this.
Unbelievable.
Right.
So did you read the next article
or no?
Are you gonna now?
We're getting the cigar news.
Oh, we're just right along here,
Tara.
You know what?
I mean, if you guys don't want
to talk about the guy peeing on
stuff anymore, that was the last
story because the football ate
up so much.
Oh, I mean, if we had the
ability to have like a
conversation with you.
What would you like to know,
Michael?
Well, I that's it.
I guess because you just read it
out loud.
I'm.
Going to be honest Palmer, I
said nothing bad about you, so
if you decide to pee on
everything here, I don't want to
be any of my stuff.
Leave the mask alone.
I peed on your microphone.
I'm.
Sorry.
Don't ring that foam cover out,
just stay away from that as far
as.
Possible.
We'll get into the cigar news.
All right, a major leadership
change has happened at cigar
retail.
Sarah Santos, VP of online
retail for Sgt., is now in
charge of Cigars International.
So she's, but she's, so she's in
the organization, but she moved
to retail.
Correct.
Well, she was in charge of.
She was.
Hold on.
She was in charge of.
Online retail for Scandinavian
Tobacco and now she's in charge
of Cigars International.
OK, so I don't know if this is
considered a lateral move.
I don't know either.
I mean, were they not happy with
whoever was running it before?
I think the guy quit or
something.
It was an opening created and
they had to fill it.
They fueled the growth more than
likely, Yeah, growth was fueled.
You know Justin Andrews, they
say he's going to start
answering on Mondays.
He did start.
He did talk about that he was
happy with the halftime show.
I don't know why I can't talk
today now.
Yeah, yeah, something's going.
On the guy currently had the
job, retired after 20 years.
Oh, OK.
So he left, created an opening
and moved this this lady into
it.
She looks rather young too from
the photo.
She's been there since 2003.
OK, she's been there for 22.
Years, so she's at least in her
40s.
Well, she she looks good for her
40s.
OK.
All right.
Well, that's exciting.
All right, what else you got?
There's nothing else from that.
I mean, story.
Oh, he's getting.
Look at look at how angry he's.
No, I got to Fast forward
through the information.
You guys don't want to talk
about this?
Either OK, Justin Andrews, great
job.
You guys see the video that
Jonathan Drew did last week?
No, but this is interesting
because he he did say, I saw the
video of hey, stay tuned for
this, right it's.
Going to be a major
announcement, Yeah, tomorrow,
actually.
OK, Oh, it hasn't happened.
Yet no, it's on the 10th.
OK.
Yeah.
So that's interesting.
What do you think he's going to
say?
I don't know, he was smoking an
Opus X in the conversation,
which was weird.
Oh, I didn't even notice that.
Yeah, of.
Course, I know I pay attention
to that.
I'm like.
We're in California now.
I hang out with a retired Drew,
a State employee on Friday
night.
Yeah, he thinks maybe Jonathan
is stepping down.
And that's why he's making the
announcement.
Yeah, he's going to move into
more of the liquor end of it and
less than cigars.
Is he still doing the liquor?
Yeah, but it's not as forward as
it was before.
So he's still dabbling, right?
But they think he's going to
move into that completely,
right?
Interesting.
And then maybe bring Pedro up.
Is the head guy.
Yeah, This show is going to be
bananas.
Right, exactly.
That's sort of what I said when
the guy told me I'd go.
I know him and that good stuff,
but is he in like the business
he already?
Running.
Yeah, yeah.
Is he?
But he's originally from
Nicaragua, right?
Yeah, well, and there's one
other guy who still lives in
Nicaragua because Pedro doesn't
live in Nicaragua.
There's still another guy that
actually lives down there full
time.
Yeah, I thought it was weird
that he was smoking an opus.
Like if I got to make an
announcement.
Unless he's buying Fuente, you
know?
Wow.
You know, we have mentioned
before that Fuente really has no
way to turn the company over to.
You know you know the daughter,
but because like.
He's bringing his son in, but
the son's like, I don't want to.
Why wouldn't you be smoking a
Liga like if I had an important?
Something of yours?
Yeah, I'd be smoking a postagna,
you know.
Yeah, unless, unless it's that.
I mean, that would be crazy.
Swisher is acquired.
Fuente.
I don't know.
That sounds like a lot, but I
mean, here's what's interesting.
You think they could buy them?
Yeah.
Well, Swisher could, yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
I'm just, I'm shooting this out
of left field, dude.
I have no idea.
But you know.
It's all speculation.
I realistically, if you're
worried about any type of
turmoil and you want to hedge
your bet like they already
started kind of making cigars in
the Dominican, why not go and
acquire the the big dog in the
Dominican Republic?
By their factory, Yeah, I.
Mean he was smoking an opus.
I don't, I don't know.
He's got a man bun now too.
Yeah, You like that?
No, you don't find that?
No, I don't.
Like the man.
Bun probably got a Macau when he
was in Macau.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, and Macau making
sandwiches.
Yeah, I'm going to buy a
company.
Yeah, so 1, so, so, so the
current speculation is you could
be stepping down.
Correct.
That's a rumor started by a
retired employee.
Or or there's a possible merger?
That's my guess.
Merger or an outright purchase?
Acquisition, yeah.
What would STG have to or not
STG?
It's Swisher.
What would they have to pay to
acquire?
A ton of money, yeah.
You think so, huh?
That would be a yeah.
A bunch of Cameroon we're going
to use now.
I hear they're looking for
Cameroon rappers.
I don't know man, that's what I
would guess.
Why smoke the Opus?
Yeah, but I mean, everybody
probably didn't catch it.
I did.
Well, I know you did.
You know.
But I mean, the couple people
I've spoken to, nobody mentioned
that at all.
You guys get caught up in his
eyes.
You're locked.
The glasses are are very
distracting.
You get locked in.
I'm like.
The glasses in the man button
were very distracting.
It's odd I was from here up.
Apparently I should have been
from here down.
Right, right.
I mean, he's not a big cigar
smoker.
No, you don't see him smoking
often, right?
Pcas and stuff.
I don't think I've ever seen
him.
Smoking.
So the first thing I'm saying,
like, whoa, the guy's smoking a
cigar.
Like what's going on with that?
And then I'm like, what?
I'm like an opus.
Why?
Why are we having a?
Why are we having an opus?
Why are we having an opus?
And he's going to drop it
before, right before PCA, the
news.
Like several months, man.
Now Drew State's going to own
half of the floor at PCA.
What is PCA?
It's in April.
Yeah, but like April, what I.
Don't know off the top of my
head because Charlie's not
posting it on his stories and.
Just he's got with the head.
Charlie, we need you.
I need you to put it on every
single story.
Come on, half wheel.
Over and over and over.
Come on, half wheel, OK.
They've there's been stories
that Oh no, you verify that one
was on there, but it was just
later.
All right, a vowed that we
talked about last week.
A vowed.
Yes, coming out with another new
cigar they are.
Yes they are on the the program
where you send several little
press releases instead of 1 big
one.
Smart.
Yes, it seems to be working for
people multiple marketing.
They are making an anniversary
cigar for their one year
anniversary.
So they're just starting right
out of the beginning.
One year, another cigar.
Eventually it'll be like Room
One O 1 every year they'll be an
anniversary cigar.
I think that's smart.
I think that's smart.
You know, that's the one that's
on our on my radar about.
Yeah, it's what you had
mentioned the other day.
This one is called the Hallowed
Hands.
The hallowed hands it's.
Going to be a regular production
core line item.
OK.
But they're making releasing it
in honor of their first year.
Yes.
So I guess next year it's not an
anniversary cigar.
It's just they're going to be
there.
Right, right.
It's just there now.
It's an Ecuadorian Corojo
wrapper and the company's first
box press see.
Oh, they don't mention anything
else.
That's it.
Not size, not nothing box count.
Well, they say they originally
blended it to be Corona Gorda,
but then they have robusto in
parentheses.
So a little confusing.
It's coming out on the 13th.
Have you ever had a code?
You said Kuroho, right?
Yeah.
Kuroho Box press.
I don't think I've ever seen
one.
You sure?
Maybe I'm wrong.
I would say you're wrong.
I'd say you're wrong too.
Yeah, there's a lot of them.
The regular.
Used.
Tobacco, No, that's San Andreas.
Well, but for one, Tatuahi uses
a lot of corojo and Cenizafina
uses.
Corojo, they have a whole line
called the Corojo line.
Yeah, You had any of those?
Not the box.
Press 1.
OK, Hey, was it Cenzafina
anywhere in Santa Clara?
Because they're like Big 49er
fans, right?
Are we talking about the?
San Francisco, yeah.
We're talking about San
Francisco, right?
In Santa Clara, you said?
Santa Clara.
Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know why
I said Santa Clara.
I don't know either in San
Francisco.
I don't think they were there.
I said San Francisco before
though, right?
They're in Arizona.
I.
Don't know what's going on
today.
Something going on there please.
Oh, have.
You red lighted, are you OK over
there?
No, I had to wake up extra early
to work this morning so I don't
normally do that.
I was.
Super Bowl Sunday, so.
I asked you early.
He means 8:00.
You're fatigued.
Yeah, I am fatigued.
You wake up at 9:00 AM like.
Terrible.
Usually 10.
I didn't get deep my pop.
Tart, the sun came up.
I like how Opus X calls him the
older gentleman when they refer
to him because of his voice is
so deep.
Opus X no Opus clips, sorry.
Opus Clips refers to him as.
He Holy moly, guys.
This is what I'm saying.
There's something going on
there.
There's.
Something going on?
Is there a beak in this room or
something?
You want to know what it is, is
that you know you guys are hung
out late and that's not what
you're used to, and now here you
are.
I didn't know you were Palmer.
Yeah.
We didn't get out late for Super
Bowl I.
Didn't watch the Super Bowl?
I watched the Super.
Bowl what time did you?
Go to bed well I tell my wife is
house sitting so it was 11 but I
fell asleep in the chair twice
so.
OK, so you were, so you were up
late?
I'm normally up.
I'm normally up till 11 and
falling asleep in the chair and
then wake up a few more minutes,
watch something and then fall
asleep again.
He was practicing for today.
Oh, OK.
He was running around his house
peeing on everything.
So yeah, that's.
Right.
Don't you get home.
Leave me alone.
Don't look at the footage from
the Ring camera.
Hey, you said toothbrush.
Why didn't?
You use that toothbrush.
I got you a new one.
Dear God.
She took the other one with her.
SO don't eat the chili.
Don't eat the chili.
Oh, God.
All right, Supreme Leaf Toro 109
is shipping.
They're calling it 109 because
it's the 109th time they've used
the term Supreme Leaf.
It's a 109 Bellicoso.
Is that what it is?
Why is it 109?
Because.
It's slightly rounded, it's not
sharp. 01/09 is a size.
Yes, we've had this conversation
several times.
Did you not watch the Terrence
Riley clip?
Do you not live any of this?
I mean no.
But this is a Toro.
Today, it's just a rough day.
It's definitely Monday.
It's a 109.
Yeah, it's a Toro size with a
rounded.
I thought you just said the
different.
Size, it's actually a little
slightly smaller gauge, right?
It's usually like a 50 or 48.
Yeah, this is a.
This is a real size.
It's a 109.
Yeah, this isn't like a made-up
size that someone will do.
Well, it's going to be released
tomorrow.
OK?
Are we getting it?
I would assume so.
Oh oh it's a one O 9 style cap,
that's what you meant?
Correct.
I gotcha.
It's a hybrid parejo and
Bellicoso.
OK, it's a 6 by 52.
OK, there you go.
So 52 is a little a little big,
but OK.
Yeah, alright.
That should be good.
Should be a good cigar.
Alright, guess the price?
Freedom Dollars because it's an
American company.
Phil.
A supreme wave?
Yep.
I think they're normally what,
like 16-18?
Somewhere around there I'll go
17.
I'm going to say 18. 1399, yeah.
It went the wrong way.
Wow, they're they're pretty
cheap for.
Affordable guys, The term is
affordable.
Oh, affordable, cheap, sounds
great because it sounds like
everyone's going to buy them.
Cheap doesn't sound great.
It's cheap by today.
Less expensive.
Cheap sounds like devalued.
He's right, all right.
Now it's time for the industry's
favorite game.
What's the score?
My favorite part of the show
because I can read from the
teleprompter, Yeah.
Here we go.
What's the difference between
that in the last 45 minutes?
Because you're not going to yell
at me for reading at the.
Teleprompter you're.
Right, yeah, this cigars from
April 19th, 2023, reviewed by
Charlie Minato.
It's a Dominican Republic LFD.
It is the Special Football
Edition 2023.
OK, do I go first You.
Guys have the Super Bowl. 84.
I'm gonna go to 90 on this, OK?
LFD special football 2023 from
the Dominican Republic factory
tabla Calera lafleur SA rapper
Ecuador habano binder Dominican
Republic filler Dominican
Republic length 5 5/8 by 54 to
perfecto and they smoked 3.
They're little footballs.
They have little footballs on
them 84. 90 all.
Right clue number one.
It's nice to see a smaller ring
gauge in a line that usually
pushes 58 to 60.
Plus the size feels more
approachable and compared to the
2016 version with the same
dimension, the improvement is
craftsmanship is noticeable.
The detail work looks sharper
and more fine, showing how much
the rollers have elevated their
execution over time.
We have gotten better at making
the footballs 84. 90.
OK.
Clue #2 construction is a clear
strength, overall burn
performance is solid, ash
formation is impressive, and the
draw remains consistent for most
of the experience.
While a couple of cigars needed
Meyer touch ups, the overall
build quality stands out.
The retro hail in particular
adds complexity, layering earth,
pepper, fruit and mineral notes
in a more intertwined way than
the main profile. 85 you.
Want to up 1?
Yes. 90.
I like when he thinks he has to
go.
You ever noticed that?
He's got to Rev it up.
He's got.
To get it going, he's got to.
Wake up the hamster in there
clue #3 The profile can lean dry
at times, especially in the 1st
and 2nd 3rd.
Some flavors, like damp
earthiness and the stale bottled
water note may not appear to
everyone, and a few puffs
develop a slight harsh edge.
One cigar also had a burn issue
in the final third, which
slightly detracted from an
otherwise strong construction
showing.
Staled bottled water.
His, it's very specific.
Incredible.
But can you picture the flavor
though?
I can.
Yeah, I can too.
It's weird.
His writing style is exactly
this.
Dude that is wild.
Wild.
That is incredible.
Only would have been better if
you went in particular brand of
yeah, yeah.
Nestle, right?
Zephyrhills stale ball.
What's the one nobody likes
sitting in the?
He's definitely.
Dasani Water.
No, Charlie looks like a Dollar
General water guy.
You don't know Charlie.
Yeah, he's a.
Little bougie to me.
Well, if he's so bougie, why is
his water still?
Cashmere.
Well, because he picked it up
thinking it was a new bottle.
'Cause he got it in a pinch.
It was in the back seat of the
car and he was thirsty.
Yeah.
You've never done that.
You get in the car, you're like,
boy, I'm thirsty and there's a
bottle of water.
Even if it's hot, you drink it.
No, I take my Stanley
everywhere.
Yeah, you're just a better man
than both of us.
You used to take the Stanley
everywhere too, what are you
talking about?
I know, I just.
But he puts Peach tea in his.
Yeah, it's meal.
It's fruit punch meal.
Mikey put oh, I like the fruit
punch one.
Yeah, yeah.
I think I'm going to stick it
85.
I don't even remember what he
said, so I'm staying 90.
Stillwater.
Oh yeah.
But you wouldn't know no
construction problem because a
man of your stature you've never
tasted.
Yeah, you don't know what
stalewater tastes like, right?
I bet his wife has.
If this thing rates over 90,
this.
He likes stalewater.
Like what?
Yeah.
Because.
Because she's out grinding.
Yeah, she don't.
Work Tia drinks like 20 bottles
of water a day.
Friday morning she comes out
with these armful of stuff,
putting stuff in her car.
Yeah, he's still home asleep.
Yeah, he's still in bed. 10 AM
and.
I mean, it was 815 so.
Like it's just beautiful.
You didn't ask me.
There was a video.
I had one.
Oh, I'm sorry.
So unorganized.
You were yelling at me right
then.
I just went into the cigars
trying to get this over with.
I have a video and I'm going to
send it to you after this one.
Between the two, can we just do
it at the end?
No, so much easier to find that
way.
No pain is, I'm going to edit
and put it at the end.
That's going to be more time.
Yeah, but it's easier to find.
OK, Did he vote?
Yeah, it said 90.
On the stale water still, yeah.
Oh wow.
Well I can't say I've had a bad
LFD Dominicana Special football
edition.
It's a series I think of more
for gimmicks and tie insurance
than I do for taste of the
cigars.
This release seems to be the
mildest one I've smoked, and
it's probably my favorite.
Oh, there's a lot of flavors,
not all great, that continue to
change in minor ways, puff to
puff, and in major ways, inch to
inch.
Stale water is my.
Favorite type of profile might
not be what most people think of
when they think of LFD.
It's another example of the
company's ability to produce a
great medium bodied and medium
strength cigar.
The score is hurt slightly due
to some construction issues and
multiple cigars, but the flavor
is as good as any in the series.
Damn, apparently he likes stale
water.
Stale bottled water 87. 90. 89
boots gets it.
Yeah, baby.
By 1 he gets it to buy one.
God, this guy was described.
As you have a video.
You know what?
I just don't happen to have a
video.
Oh.
Actually, let's watch the video.
When you play it, don't.
Play the audio.
Don't.
Play the audio.
Was that bad words?
No, it's just it's got some
background music.
Oh.
And.
So when I put it in.
Make sure it doesn't have.
It's from, I think it's like a
Mission Impossible thing.
I hate that the there you go.
It's great.
It's more for Phil than it is
for you.
He's saying no, don't.
So is there don't you don't need
the audio to understand the
video?
Yeah, OK.
There it is.
Don't.
Point of view.
I know this movie.
I know this movie.
Seattle defense showing blitz in
the fourth quarter.
I feel you needed audio.
You don't, all right?
He's getting hammered, dude.
Yeah.
Well, Palmer didn't watch the.
The game?
Yeah, there was this game last
night.
Oh yeah, it was a it was a
football game.
Football is the biggest one of
the.
Year.
The one that's like the LFD
cigar.
Yeah.
Oh.
Exactly.
Gotcha.
I got to tell you this.
Is a 109.
This yeah, it's a 109 shape
thing.
This is a year that I probably
watched the least amount of
football and I think that it's a
trend that's going to continue.
I feel like every year I'm going
to be watching less.
And less and less, yeah.
Yeah, the.
To where you become a baseball
fan.
No, I just think the quality of
the product is really
diminished.
There's there's bad calls,
there's just, yeah, I'm not, I'm
not about it.
It seems it's messy.
It's too messy.
There's always bad calls in any
sport.
Well, yeah, but I just, no, I I
totally understand that.
But like blatant calls that we
just talked about that weren't
called.
I mean, come on man, what are we
doing?
Like you got to bring it
somewhere.
Give me that fine line.
I don't need a penalty every
play because then it's not
enjoyable.
But like some blatant stuff
should be called, especially in
the Super.
Bowl.
That's a technical foul.
So OK, next one.
All right, May 31st, 2012.
Charlie Minato.
Also it's ACAO cigar from
Nicaragua, The Cao Odyssey.
Phil.
Cao we go 82. 86.
Country of origin Nicaragua
Factory tablet Calera Perdomo
Ecuadorian Rosado rapper
Undisclosed binder Habano filler
6 Cuban seed fillers.
No specific information.
So 6 1/4 by 55.
It's a perfecto $13.50.
This is not a redux, but they
only smoked one. $13 back in
2012.
Little man put that in my hand
if that money doesn't show the
owe.
Box of 10 for $135.
Phil The Cigar was released in
2000.
I just found it.
Box of 10.
Yeah.
Paul was trying to throw me off
82. 85.
Clue #1.
Oh, you went down.
The Ecuadoran risotto rapper
presents a rich, dark leather
hue that gives a cigar an
attractive, mature look.
Pre light aromas offer aged
leather, sweet cocoa and much oh
mocha note sorry, creating a
full and inviting introduction.
The cold draw adds another layer
of interest, with fruity citrus,
wheat, coffee, earth and a touch
of sweetness delivering a smooth
and flavourable start before
ignition.
OK, well, he likes fruity,
Fruity 82. 85 I also forgot to
make the mark.
The comments that I normally do
at TX Southpaw on today's show
or yesterday's show said just
add a Segundo's patch to the
beanies and send it.
That's a whole nother patch.
I can't get one.
Can't get one on you.
Won 2 now.
And then on, oh, that was
actually on a couple episodes
ago, on the most recent episode,
our dear friend Mark Palmer
said, Have you ever heard of
Gamblers Anonymous?
Oh, is he directing that to me?
I would assume so.
Yeah, I would assume it.
Was you?
No.
OK.
And then I have from from our
good friend Ben Roland.
Ben who?
Went and visited you and.
Then Sarah came Friday night.
Yep, they made the trek.
Gas station corn dogs are fire.
You know, no wait, I got one at
racetrack when I stopped to get
gas.
A corn dog.
I got a corn dog.
It wasn't any good.
I think it had been there too
long.
They need to put, you know,
timers on them or something.
I could see that.
I don't think I've had a corn
dog since middle school or
elementary.
I love corn dogs, but this the
corn on the dog was not much
bigger than the dog.
You know, normally they're, you
know, a little, a little big on
the size, you know, no, it was
just like a, a fine.
How big was it?
Big enough boots you would have
liked it.
Your hand was in the shot too.
Get it, get it done.
Yeah, but we're not homophobic.
You.
Are I don't know, it's just
crazy though I.
Think he's got all excited?
Because no, I did not get
excited.
How much was it?
How big was it?
It was this big.
Huge.
That's two inches.
That big around boots is just
full size.
And he has no gag reflex.
No, Palmer definitely has a gag
of reflex.
I do have a gag of reflex but
you bite it off though so it's
OK.
Yeah, yeah, on the on my
Patriots clip that I made, I
heard I got a from at Dreor.
Go Hawks.
What happened?
Bro?
It's OK.
You can still take this down
before too many people see it.
I saw that.
And no, I will not be taking it
down.
In fact, he just read it.
Go Hawks, Seahawks.
Seahawks.
Seahawks.
Why do they show on the name of?
I don't know, it's like.
Atlanta Hawks less words to
type.
Yeah, maybe he can't spell C He
gets confused.
Right.
Yeah, C hyphen.
S EE or CE maybe like, you know,
like it's Spanish.
And this is the one I really
wanted to get to.
Is C Well hold on a SEC.
Is C in Spanish spelled How?
I don't know CICEI.
I'm not Spanish, it's SI, but
that was great.
That was done too, not
homophonic and not Spanish.
So that's probably why he didn't
watch the Bad Money halftime
show.
At Stephen Wells 6945, my final
one for yesterday's episode
wrote Boots fills.
Boots fills slash Steve slash
the Jester.
Whatever his name is today,
please have him stop using the
name Money makers.
It is a great alliteration but
very misleading.
He would be more accurate just
to call him an astrophysicist.
Steven, I will use your story
tomorrow.
It wasn't appropriate for
today's show.
He sent me a story.
Oh OK, Second person sent me the
same story so I have to use it.
Gotcha.
OK.
Did you pick your number?
82.
You pick a number, I go second.
I know, but there's so much
going on out.
Of order.
I don't know where we're now.
Now I'm Yeah.
Now you got all your air time,
you're happy.
I think so.
OK, somebody's got to carry this
damn show today other than you
just reading off the screen.
What did you just do?
I read off a screen.
There you go.
Exactly.
From a comment.
And you messed up when you read
it so.
How did I mess up?
You said some of the things
wrong.
You stuttered on a couple of
things.
What?
Did I stutter on?
I'm staying out of this one with
you too.
Did I stutter, Phil?
Yeah, I'm dying.
This.
Phil, what did I stutter on?
Tell me.
I didn't hear any stuttering.
Me neither.
Yeah, but he's not.
He's not confirming or denying.
I mean, you can tell me if
there's something I missed or I
messed up.
I want to work on it to be
better.
Why do I have to be the middle
ground?
Here I'm OK with it 'cause I'm
OK 'cause I respect your
criticism.
His is just bad.
This is just mean.
Why?
Why did Ziggy just get out of a
van?
Just pulled up his car?
Oh, he's locked his keys in his
car.
Oh.
OK.
All right, he said. 82, I think.
I don't even know.
Is that what you said?
I said 82, he said 85 did.
I stutter when I read off the
comments.
Thank you all.
Right clue #2 Despite other
shortcomings, a cigar does show
some redeeming construction
qualities.
The dark ash forms well and
holds consistently, and while
construction overall is
described as subpar, the draw
remains consistently open and
workable throughout the smoking
experience.
Strength and body also maintain
a steady medium to medium full
presence.
Is there someone behind me?
Yes.
He's right there, isn't he?
He is.
Is this the third clue?
No.
This is the final thought.
Second clue.
It's the second clue.
Dear God, we're only on the
second clue.
Pay attention.
Dear Jesus 82. 85.
God, this has been going on.
Forever what?
I feel like this one's been
going on forever.
It has been.
Because he keeps stopping so he
can get his airtime.
Yeah, Mike.
Are you coaching any other teams
or have you made your own league
yet?
I'm I'm not going to make my
own.
League No No.
There will be another Preston
episode tomorrow.
There will.
Be.
After a promising start, the
cigar steadily declines in
complexity and clarity.
The first third quickly
simplifies and by the 2nd 3rd
the profile shifts to a generic
moist earth with pepper and
cedar.
Moist Earth.
Final third, can you just say
mud?
No.
What a jerk.
It's fine, did it on purpose.
Can you hear?
Can you hear that at all or?
Not coop stop you.
You better stop sabotaging us.
Can you hear that?
Yeah, I'm sure.
He can, right?
All right, well, we'll have to
stop real quick until it's
fixed.
I'm going to pause this.
Yeah, it's about 62.
Oh, there you go.
After a promising start, the
cigar steadily declines in
complexity and clarity.
The first third quickly
simplifies and by the 2nd 3rd
the profile shifts to a generic
moist earth with pepper and
cedar.
He should have just said mud.
Yeah, why don't you just say
mud?
Say mud.
The final third worsens further,
with an entire flavor profile
becoming indistinct and mushy in
parentheses.
Lacking definition or engaging
character, Combined with weak
smoke production and overall
aging concerns, the experience
ultimately trends downward from
start to finish.
That was the third clue.
It's mushy with moist Earth. 82.
84.
Final thought, I heard ACAO
radio spot the other day.
The basic premise was simple.
Our cigars are just cooler.
I don't think this is exactly a
new Reed general, don't know
what that means way of thinking
at Cao.
This seemed like something
that's been around for a while.
As far as the packaging goes,
Odyssey is great.
As far as a a narrative goes,
Odyssey had a decent story.
As far as the cigar, this was
bad.
I imagine this tasted a lot
better.
A few years ago there were
plenty of signs of this, but at
this point, Cao Odyssey is
unfortunately unforgettable.
Bill.
You know, this thing's probably
going to pelt like 89 or
something, I bet.
OK, so.
I'm going to go to 87.
Damn.
What do you say, 87?
Yeah, I actually think that this
cigar is going to do worse than
the number I'm gonna guess.
'Cause he really likes stale
water.
Maybe mushy earth?
No, Here's one of the here's.
I'm gonna tell you why it It was
probably an underwhelming cigar
when it came out.
And 10 years later, it lost that
underwhelming flavor and
probably tastes damn near next
to nothing.
When you can't even classify
mud, you have to give it a moist
earth profile.
And mushy.
Yeah, and mushy, like he's
saying things that aren't like
clear, distinct flavors.
Maybe he was like looking at a
Betty Crocker box of brownies.
Right.
He's not.
He's not.
And we heard pale.
We heard stale.
Water, right.
Bottled water, right?
So when he can, when, when he
can be precise about something,
I would at that point say that,
OK, it's going to go higher than
what I'm thinking, right.
And that's what happened on the
last one.
This one's going to go the other
way.
And you just kind of opened the
door for me because you just
went up to 87.
So I'm going to say 85 to
protect myself, that if it's an
86, it's a Washington.
And if it's anything lower, I
win.
No, you should just try to nail
it.
No.
Do you want me to?
You want you want me to go
lower?
I'll go lower.
I'll go lower.
I'll go lower.
I can't say anything because it
gives it away.
I'll go lower 78.
How's that?
He said, what, 87?
Yeah.
So I mean, you could really go,
oh, yeah, OK, it's 7070.
Oh.
So he won.
What were you thinking, Palmer?
He won.
No, no, I know that's going to
say, but I mean, he could.
You were so high he could go
anywhere within 19 of 70 and
still win.
Yeah, if I had picked, well, if
I had picked 86 or below, but I
protected it, I went 85.
And that would have been if
you'd have said 86.
Boom, right?
But then if you wanted me to
really base it off of my
thoughts, I thought that it
would have broken the 80
threshold, but I didn't think
it'd go all the way down to 70.
This just goes to show you there
is no method to this madness.
And yet here I am explaining to
you the method.
I get you saying and it worked,
but when he was at 70, you were,
you were probably thinking he
was probably going to be like
777980, like somewhere around
there he thought he was going to
be 70.
I felt that it was in the 70
range.
I don't know, you know, maybe I
would have got 70 on the dot.
Stale water.
He likes stale water, but he
doesn't let the money out.
Of his flavor.
I think Mikey's right because it
it's it aged to the point where
it has nothing.
Left.
Is it stale water like stale
inside of your house still?
Or is it stale with because you
didn't change the filter?
Regardless, it's a distinct
flavor profile that he got from
the cigar, whereas Moist Earth
is extremely vague and not
descriptive.
Right, so.
That shows you that even though
he wrote this 13 years ago, 14
years ago.
Feel like moist Earth's pretty
descriptive, no?
No, if he'd have said volcanic,
right, volcanic earth, volcanic
dark earth that was wet, like
something like that, that would
have been more he just said
moisture generic, generic to add
to it, right.
And also just so.
So I listened to what the
description was and then I did
my own analysis and.
Like when the entire flavor
profile becomes indistinct and
mushy, lacking definition.
So.
But yeah, he was getting
nothing.
You're just mad that Stephen
Wells called you an
astrophysicist, and that's a
compliment.
No, I didn't.
I wasn't mad at that.
This was a very long.
So many.
Words.
What's the score?
So I wore you down.
Yeah, the second one was was
very long.
When did CEO have radio ads?
You know, I don't know, think
about that 2012.
You know, more importantly, now
I know how to really discourage
him.
I'll, I'm going to throw some
stuff in in the half wheel
description and like, lose his
train of thought.
Sound like a gunshot outside.
No, Greg just dropped his wallet
upstairs.
Oh.
He's at home dying, Yeah.
Oh, he's dining again.
Anything else to add?
That's it.
On February 25th I will be at
Northport Cigars at 1:00 for a
little afternoon event.
Bang.
OK, and I will be here.
And I'll be at home sleeping.
Not up yet at 1:00, of course.
Yeah.
All right, guys, this is my
episode 465 of the These Cigars
Are Podcasts.
And just for those of you who
are curious, he's still locked
out of his car.
And like and subscribe And
thanks for watching all.
Right.
Bye bye.
Goodbye.
Show Notes
On Todays show we are all the superbowl info….then the navy lost a secret weapon! A Maryland paramedic went all in! In cigar news we have a new portal entry! A new cigar and Terance really turns 109….then we end the show with a big what’s the score!
