It was the last Drew Estate
secret cigar thing that came in
the.

Did they announce what it was?
I don't know.
I don't I don't watch the video.
I don't think anybody watches
the video anymore.
Freestyle live.
There we go.
That's.
What?
Oh, that's what FSL is.
Freestyle live, Yes.
Oh, I thought it was the first
secret Lego.
Yes, that too.
The first it's.
Not the first one they do a
secret one every time they do.
One, but it looks like it's a
Connecticut shade of some sort.
Obviously they released a black
in Connecticut I think last
time, right?
There is a regular Connecticut
blackened already.
Oh, they didn't mean the black
in Connecticut.
Yeah, it was the last.
Yeah, I believe that was the
last one.
So.
Who knows what that could be?
Could be anything, but it was
17.1g. 17 grams. 17.1. 17.1 All
right, you ready, you guys ready
to get into some trending news
couple?
Dry draws here.
Check it out.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Let's go.
All right, Kim Jong Kook
announces private wedding plan.
South Korean icon Kim Jong Kook.

He has officially announced his

Wow, apparently it's a big deal
in Korea.
Yeah, I don't know why we were
covering this.
What is it?
What is It's a big deal
internationally.
OK, how's that gonna like?
But I don't know anything about
this guy.
I don't care about like I have
no.
But if you do, if you do the
short and you tag him, then
people over in Asia might be
watching.
Yeah.
You think we can get the Asian
market?
You never know.
There's a lot.
Apparently Superman was bigger
than Taylor Swift last week.
Yeah, you never know.
Right there, Yeah.
You never know.
He shared the happy news via a
heartfelt handwritten letter
revealing that his fiance is a
private individual.
This was the biggest story on
Google Trending.
Kim Jong Un.
This guy was, yeah.
Not Kim Jong Un.
To be honest, I had to look up
who it was.
Yeah, but when I.
Did tell us what he looked like?
He looks like a Korean guy that
lifts a lot of weights.
This is not the same.
Yeah, like Tong Paul.
More more tall, less stocky.
Oh, like, but but you know what
I'm talking.
About the guy you know.
Exactly who I was talking.
About.
Well, there's only.
One Tong PO Tong PO in the 80s
blood.
Better, a lot better looking
than that guy, too.
That guy was kind of scary
looking.
Oh, yeah, Yeah, he was scary.
He was kind of.
He always sort of had that face
where it was he was supposed to
be.
He's always the bad guy.
He'd kill people.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, he'd go like this.
Yeah, yeah.
They plan a small intimate
wedding in Seoul with close
friends and family, though the
exact date has not been
announced yet.
Oh, very excited for them.
Congratulations.
I don't know.
Maybe we'll get invited.
It's media.
Maybe.
Oh, that.
Media coverage.
We would definitely go.
We would definitely go to Seoul,
Korea, all right.
NFL shifts Jets trade Nadi to
the Chiefs.
OK, I love this.
Is this story no good anything?
No, I love this already because
of the name that you just
pronounced, but go ahead.
That's how you do it.
I looked it up.
OK.
Is it OK?
How do you think you say it?
I.
Don't know.
I don't know the story yet.
Go ahead.
Oh, the NFL news.
The New York Jets have made a
roster move that's turning in,
turning some heads.
Defensive tackle Derek Nadi is
on his way back to Kansas City
Chiefs after trade that sends
him out in exchange for a
conditional late round pick swap
in 2027.
Draft Now.
Nadid is a familiar face in
Kansas City.
He spent the bulk of his career
with the Chiefs after being
drafted in 2018.
He was part of the tough
defensive front that helped
deliver multiple playoff runs in
Super Bowl appearances.
Known for his consistency and
run stopping ability, then
flashy stats, Nadid has been a
reliable presence in the
trenches.
So why move him now?
For The Jets, this deal is about
depth and direction.
They've been busy reshaping
their defensive line this pre
season, adding veterans like
Harrison Phillips and Joanne
Briggs.
Is that Joanne?
But those pieces in place,
Nadine became expendable and
flipping him for a future pick
swap keeps the roster flexible.
For the Chiefs, it's a bit of a
homecoming.
They know what they're getting
with Nadine, a steady, physical
player who understands their
systems.
And with Kansas City looking to
tighten up against the run and
reinforce the rotation, bringing
him back makes sense.
It's not the kind of blockbuster
move that dominates headlines,
but trades like this can pay off
in a long grind of the NFL
season.
The Jets get to move forward
with their new look, and the
Chiefs added a proven veteran
who can step right in.
There's a lot of sports this
week.
I figured you guys would be
excited.
Yeah, you know, because we're
right on the cusp of football.
Thank you.
That's why there's a lot of
football information.
Can't wait.
Yeah.
Well, you know, I don't think it
doesn't matter what The Jets do,
whatever.
And I don't think that Kansas
City, I think that they're done
too.
So the Swift power is over.
The Swift power, yeah.
Well, the Mahomes power is over.
No, the swift power has ended
the tailors.
The popularity, yeah.
So yeah, good for that.
Who do you think is going to
who's?
Say chime in boots at.
Sports, Yeah.
Who's your shocker?
Who do you think is going to
shock quarterback this year?
Oh, Dart.
Dart.
Yeah, from the Giants.
The Giants, Yeah.
This boy's out of his mind.
I don't.
Know who?
The Dart.
Is I You know what?
That guy is throwing some good
passes.
You know what it's funny is I
actually disagree with that
statement so much that the
person who I think is going to
do well is Daniel Jones.
Oh God, yeah.
I would have thought like you
would say like Cam Ward or.
No, Cam Ward's an ass.
Any of the other.
People, we saw Kim Ward at the
Tampa game.
My son yelled for him the entire
time, the entire time and he
refused to acknowledge him.
Like it's not like he was
playing the game.
Like he did 2 drives and they're
mediocre at best.
And you know, he could have just
waved and he did not wave or
anything.
And like I don't like that shit
at all.
If you know, if you're a player
on the field, you should
acknowledge kids.
It's just that simple.
They pay your, you know, they
pay whatever.
I don't know they, you know, you
know what I'm saying?
I get it.
Yeah, they make you popular.
Unpopular.
Not even like a a like.
That but like, you know, Oh my
God, Cam said hi to me, you
know, and then like.
Then he's a Cam fan for a long
time.
Yeah, exactly.
Sure.
Makes sense, you know, And he
wasn't really playing, you said.
He did 2 drives and that was.
It and the rest time he's just.
Sitting there bullshitting,
yeah.
It's not like the, you know.
Sitting there doing shots or
something.
Yeah, this is pre season, right?
That's what.
It's pre season, I mean that was
the time where you can turn
around and go.
Thanks, kid.
Right, exactly.
Not even like a comeback story,
like a Sanders anything.
No, Yeah.
Sanders.
Sanders, Dion.
Yeah, nobody heard, but not.
Shiloh shooter.
Oh yeah, Shudor also ignored a
kid.
Yeah, yeah, that's ridiculous.
Damn it.
That's so ridiculous.
Alright, before we go any
further, everybody, we got the
poop Coke from Mr. Mitch who was
in Japan.
So everybody want to take a
drink of their poop, Coke,
Whoever, whoever pooped first.
We're going right into the poop
coke.
This would have been a great.
Before we get going.
You should have, you should have
shown the coke when you're
talking about that first story.
Before well, that's Korea.
That's not Korean.
Oh so sorry.
Dude, dude, wow.
He just thinks, you know.
They're all we can count on you
to, to always lob up something.
Something racist or insulting.
No, no, no.
It's don't push your power off
on me.
All right, so what's it taste
like?
Tastes.
A little sweeter.
Well, I don't drink regular
Coke, but it just tastes sweeter
to me than regular.
I don't the way they described
it.
I mean, it tastes OK.
Yeah.
There's a little bit of a after
taste a.
Little bit of Finnish.
Well, I was.
Like wine, the finish.
The nose of it is a little
fruity.
I'm a Coca-Cola Sommannier.
It yeah, it has notes of.
Boot, you got a poop yet?
Chocolate s'mores.
Some nutmeg.
Yeah, nutmeg, maybe teriyaki
chicken.
It tastes like Coke 0.
Bro it kind of tastes like flat
Coke 0.
It does taste a little flat,
you're right.
Interesting.
Well, just know we're all going
to be blasting the toilets the
back.
Of there's only two down here,
so.
Well, thank you, Mitch Smith.
Yes, thank you, Mitch.
Well, thank you Mitch Smith for
the.
We've had it for a week.
I forgot last week.
What's the over under on this?
On what?
On who has to go first?
It's not colon blow bro.
Colon Blow.
It's just, it's just high fiber
or whatever.
Oh, I mean, he's talking about
it as a laxative.
It's not a laxative.
It's got a little bit of a
laxative in it.
The fiber.
The type of fiber is used in
laxatives.
Yeah, but it's not, it's not
like a instant purge.
No, no, no.
It's not like we're going to all
soil our clothes.
Yeah, no, no, not like just
supposed to help.
If we do, we'll keep the cameras
rolling though.
Everybody you take a camera
with, you would take one.
With me would take Oh God.
Oh, I did a Dumber right.
Oh God.
Yeah, I did have Waffle House
this morning, so it could be a
oh.
You have extra Yeah.
OK, Drink.
You didn't hardly drink any of
yours.
You're going to be destroying a
toilet regardless.
Take a big O swig of that there
booty.
Halfway.
There you go.
There you go.
Halfway there, all.
Right.
All right, go ahead.
All right, Buccaneers are waving
rookie safety Shiloh Sanders.
Yeah.
That baby Buccaneers informed
rookie safety Shiloh Sanders on
Sunday that he is being waived.
His agent sold ACH, PS Mike
Palmer, agent Drew Rosenhaus and
Robert Well, it wasn't ESPN.
I changed it.
No, you don't have to tell
everybody the secrets.
OK, well you just the way you
said it, I was wrong.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus and Robert
Bailey told Palmer that they
hope Sanders gets claimed on
waivers.
Nice.
You guys know what he did is
that?
Beautiful.
I don't know what this is.
The cigar.
I've tasted this cigar before.
It tastes identical to
something.
It's definitely not the black
and I think it's the shady.
I'm trying to figure this out.
All right, well, don't say what
here.
Yeah.
The news comes after Sanders was
ejected from Tampa Bay's third.
We know what we know what he
did.
Well, maybe everybody else does.
It's on the news.
It's on the news.
Oh, I thought he asked us.
I asked if you did this, you
know, trying a little
interaction and Mikey was like,
oh, it tastes familiar.
News come after Sander was
ejected with Tampa Bay's third
preseason game against the
Buffalo Bills on Sunday night
for throwing a punch.
He's in trouble.
Sanders punched tight end Zach
Davidson, who is blocking him
after some heavy pushing and
shoving in the second quarter.
Bucks linebacker John Bullock
tried to calm Sanders afterward,
and Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles
looked at Sanders and as he
walked back to the sideline.
Bowles, Bowles.
Can't check all the names I
guess.
Well, that one looked obvious.
It wasn't, you know.
Apparently it wasn't.
Double NADEE.
So how do you say bowls?
Bowls.
Bowls.
Yeah.
It's not bowls, alright?
It's going to be the Sanders and
he walked back sideline Bowls
address the incident of Tampa
Bay's 2319 loss.
You can't throw punches in this
league.
That's inexcusable, Bowls said.
They're going to get you every
time.
You've got to grow from that.
Sanders also flagged for a pass
interference call in the first
quarter of the game.
He had been competing for the
4th and final safety spot with
Kevin Merriweather, that one
drag right and Rashad Wisdom do
backup Antoine Winfield, junior
Tykee Smith and Christian.
What is with the names of these
football?
I don't know, the last one you
pronounced was Smith.
Yeah, right.
Tykee Smith and Christian LZ
i.e.
N, Lizin L What LZ i.e.
N Or maybe that's a capital I.
I don't.
Know whose father's Pro Football
Hall of Fame Deion Sanders and
signed with the Buccaneers after
he went undrafted.
So we've covered that.
You're not allowed to throw
punches in NFL, but it is
perfectly acceptable to take
someone's helmet off and smack
him with it.
That was the Miles Garrett to
Rudolph.
OK, well, listen, I don't care
what you say about life.
Here's the reality.
We live in this hierarchy of
things, and if you're really
good at something, you can get
away with a lot of stuff.
Miles Garrett is one of the best
in the league.
So look, he was sorry and we
moved on.
Shaddor Sanders is at the
beginning of his career in the
NFL.
His dad is a lot more prolific
than Miles Garrett.
It doesn't matter.
Shaddor Sanders is Shaddor
Sanders.
Deion Sanders is Deion Sanders
I.
Can I?
Dion could have got away with
it.
There's.
Yeah, Dionne could pull it,
could have pulled it off, but
Shidor can't yet, right?
So the only way that Shidor gets
to pull something like that off
is he had to be unbelievable.
He had to go top, you know,
first round pick.
He didn't even go in the draft.
He went after the draft.
Did you guys see the clip of
what happened to him?
Why he threw the punch?
I saw, I saw the clip.
Yeah, he got, he got bamboozled.
Right.
I I mean I get why he did it,
but at the same time I mean
maybe you should have tried to
get through the block.
You can't punch the guy.
It's just that simple.
You can't punch the guy.
Yeah, he's obviously on anger
issues.
I mean he.
Well, he was getting pushed
around like a child.
I think you know what, dude,
here's what's happened is like,
you've had these guys that
they're they're great athletic
ability and they've done a
fantastic job in college, right?
And now they're scrapping for
their lives to join an NFL team
for whatever reason.
I don't, you know, I don't know
if it's politics, if it's, you
know, the audience, it's if it's
the, the organizations, if it's
the companies, if it's their
lack of performance or whatever.
I don't know what it is, 'cause
I'm not that smart when it comes
to only this thing.
So I'm not going to act like I
am.
But they're gotta, they gotta be
getting agitated.
Both Sanders boys, they have to
be getting agitated.
Shiloh and Chidor.
Right.
Yeah, but what do they expect?
What do they expect?
Yeah, I think that they expected
a little bit more than what
they've gotten.
I don't think that what they've
gotten has been fair.
Can I ask you a question?
You get one question.
OK, you know who Michael Jordan
is, right?
I've heard of him, yes.
What son?
Which son went to the NBA?
Which son went to the NBA?
I just know the one that tried
to park his Lamborghini SUV on
the on the railroad tracks.
Well.
He was DUI.
Neither one went to the NBA.
OK, but they both play college.
OK, This is the greatest
basketball player of all time.
Sanders is not the greatest
football player of all time.
He is a great football player.
OK, maybe he's a better father
than Michael.
I don't know.
No, but no.
What I'm just saying is, is I
don't these guys played on
Colorado.
They didn't play for any of the
big time schools, right?
And I'm not taking anything away
from what Colorado did, but I'm
just saying what division they
played in, it's a lot different
in that division than it is in
the NFL.
Maybe.
And it's a lot different.
Like if they would have played
schools like Alabama, LSU, you
know, any of the big time
schools, Texas, any of them, I
don't think they would have done
what they did.
You know what, I'm not
disagreeing with you.
I'm not agreeing with you
either, but I'm not disagreeing
with you because I honestly
don't know.
But I will say this, they seem
like they have a lot of hard
work and ethic, and they seem
like they have good athletic
ability.
I've seen highlights of both of
them.
I'm like, damn, that's pretty
good.
So you know.
Well, Cleveland's just a messed
up area anyways, and that was
probably the worst team for him
to go to.
Cleveland's, I mean, I would
have loved to see them both be
in Tampa and both let give them
time to develop and grow and
watch them come up and be both
be on the Bucks.
I thought that would be badass.
I don't think that I think that
Shiloh winds up somewhere.
I don't think that he doesn't
wind up somewhere.
I think even if he doesn't play,
I think a great publicity would
be the Dallas would make sense.
I think that he's going to play.
I'm just saying if he even if he
didn't, yeah, right, Dallas
would be a spot.
Well, Dallas should have picked
them both up.
Yeah, I don't know why they
didn't.
What?
They didn't.
So what do you you got somebody?
Hey, I have no idea what's going
on.
You have no idea.
What's going on?
I don't.
Even know what his point was,
with everything he was saying, I
got completely lost to them.
Maybe they go to Kansas City.
Maybe some.
Maybe.
No, I think the Kansas City
thing's over.
Maybe it's done.
These teams you're mentioning,
you didn't pick them up because
they're not that.
Good.
I think that they are, but I
think that they come with a lot
of baggage.
They come with a, they come for
one.
They come with their dad, right?
And I think that that makes
things difficult.
Is he one of those stage dads or
who's going to show up practice
all the time and they're all
stage?
I don't know.
I could tell you that his name
was.
His nickname is Primetime.
I know who he is, you know?
Yeah.
But I mean, that doesn't tell me
that he's going to show up in
practice and try to coach his
kids and, and well, don't tell,
don't listen to coach.
Do what I'm telling you.
I don't know if that's the case.
I just think that this, you
know, he's a showman, right?
And people don't like that.
They don't like showmanship.
That's not strictly for the
team.
You know, like Cam Ward is a
team guy.
Right.
There's only been two children
that have come into the NFL so
far that I've seen that done OK.
Who are they?
Marvin Harrison's son, which
he's OK, but on the team that
he's on, I mean, he's one of the
top wide receivers.
And then Frank Gore, son, I
really like him.
I think there's more than that.
I just don't think that you're
realizing it.
I think as far as lineman,
there's definitely been some.
Oh well, yeah, maybe I just
don't remember.
Those guys, you know, the was
how long and Jig Long comes to
mind.
I think that there's more.
Than Paul Long.
No, no, I think that.
I honestly think there's more
there than you think.
So.
Yeah, probably.
But the Pouncey twins, one of
them was on Pittsburgh.
One of those was on the
Dolphins.
Yeah, so there you go.
Just making your rounds.
You're a legend in your own at
this point.
I don't know.
Well, I mean, they'll definitely
remember.
Well, one of them he.
Exchanged numbers.
You call them from time to time,
now no.
No, no, no, no.
Are they cigar guys?
No, actually they're not.
Well, because they're at a cigar
thing.
They are, but they just peddled.
Their wine told their not their
wine.
Their whiskey told their story.
And then they left.
Did you ask them if they smoked
cigars?
No, they wanted to talk about
the whiskey.
I know all about their whiskey
and their other.
Stuff, but you should ask them
if they like cigars.
You guys like cigars?
Yeah, well, I mean, it was in a
cigar lounge.
But did they smoke cigars there?
No, like I said, I showed up an
hour late because of traffic.
So no, when I got there they
were just starting their
presentation.
Yeah.
So, you know, if they were just
starting their presentations
been an hour long, they would
have already been smoked.
The cigars still would have been
in existence at that point, you
would think, right.
So they never smoked.
No.
So I mean, I would have asked a
question, do you like cigars?
And if they said no, I would
have said I had no idea you're a
central.
And then what you know.
Well, we couldn't remember their
names and so Saturday morning I
had to look them up so Adrian
could tell her friend whose
autograph she got, and the
information I found about them
online was not overly friendly.
No, they were part of a scandal.
More than one, apparently.
Yeah, what kind of scandal?
That was the whole dolphin
thing.
Mike Poncey.
I don't know what happened, I'm
not a dolphin.
There was a.
They were both involved in
separate ones.
Yeah, the IT was a what is it
when you like, make fun of
somebody and beat him up and
stuff?
And that was the one guy who got
his feelings hurt in the locker
room.
Yeah.
Yeah, they told him he wasn't
black.
Enough.
I thought that that was the
other guy.
I thought that was Fitzpatrick
or something.
No.
No, no, it was one of the them.
They told him he.
Was and Long.
That's why the Dolphins got rid
of Long and Pouncey.
They told him he was not black
enough.
Yep.
That's.
A true saving.
The other one threatened to beat
up the Japanese trainer on the
anniversary of Pearl Harbor in
retaliation for them attacking
Hawaii.
Yeah, they're, but that sounds
like, you know what I mean?
Like that just sounds like
locker room BS, you know what I
mean?
Like, hey, I'm a.
Well, I mean, we obviously
weren't there.
We didn't see it depends on how
far it went.
I don't know.
It went far enough to him get in
trouble.
He no longer plays football.
It's hard.
Well, I mean, they're older now.
They retired in 21.
It wasn't much before that that
that happened because they had
given football all they had to
give.
Well, we got Pauler.
It's very easy to judge from.
Well, I'll just tell you what I
read.
From a bird.
'S eye perspective.
They were very nice when we, my
wife and I were talking to him.
I mean 1 was.
I can tell you that I am a
severe ball Buster.
I don't know if you knew that
about me.
No, I had not.
No, no.
All these years I did not know
that, no.
And you know.
Just don't bust my balls on
Pearl Harbor Day.
I mean realistically.
Well, you're not.
You know, if you collect, if you
took a week of interactions with
me and you and I hurt your
feelings, you could probably.
And I was a big enough
celebrity.
I'm probably in some hot water,
right?
Like he said these things and
I'm like, yeah, but he's my boy
and that's how I talk.
You know what I mean?
I'm not aggressively trying to
do physical harm to anybody, nor
would you me, you know, like you
say dumb shit too.
Maybe not as aggressive to me
as.
Not as aggressive, no.
But Boots is definitely as
aggressive as me.
He's hurtful.
Oh wow, am I?
Speaking of which, we have
boots.
Trending news.
I send it to your phone.
Oh.
OK, sorry, I forget the
unprepared.
Yeah, I've been completely.
Unprepared.
Is it the Wieners again?
No, he's doing a movie.
Movie reviews today.
Oh, a movie review.
His top three favorite movies in
a certain area.
In a genre.
All right, here we go.
That's the word.
Thank you.
Are we going now?
Yep.
Hello, peoples.
OK.
All right.
You have to read out loud.
I'm going to.
Yeah, read it as as you see it.
Before RuPaul's Drag Race
brought drag into the
mainstream, drag Queens and
gender bending characters had
already made their mark on film
for decades.
From campy comedies to
underground documentaries, these
movies.
Come on.
These movies help shape queer
culture and continue to inspire
audiences today.
Here are three of my favorite
from the 1950s through the early
2000s.
First up, Some Like It Hot from
1959, Tony Curtis and Jack
Lemmon disguise themselves as
women to hide from the mob,
joining an all female band
alongside Marilyn Monroe.
It's funny, clever, and one of
the first mainstream comedies to
bring Dragon to Hollywood in
spotlight.
Next, The Queen from 1968.
Long before Paris's burning
document the New York ballroom
scene, this film gave audience a
rare look into drag pageants of
the era.
It captures the glamour, the
shade and the artistry of Queens
who paved the way for the
culture we celebrate today.
It's only his top three.
Favorite And of course, The
Rocky Horror Picture Show from
1975.
Tim Curry's unforgettable role
as Doctor Frankenfurter, the
sweet transvestite from
transsexual Transylvania, turned
this cult classic into a rite of
passage for generations of queer
fans.
With midnight screenings and
audience participation.
It became more than a film, it
became an experience.
From the glitz of Hollywood
comedies to the rawness of
documentaries to the wild camp
of cult musicals, drag has
always found a way to shine on
screen.
And these films remind us that
drag isn't just entertainment.
It's history.
It's resistance.
It's fabulous.
This has been boots with gay
movie history.
Thank you Boots, he went through
it as fast as he possible.
I hit camera 3.
When this whole time?
That whole time.
No, not just now.
There is no camera.
Three, you did that on the last
show, too.
Sometimes my fingers get crazy.
Sometimes my fingers get crazy.
He gets exciting.
He's his favorite.
All the wieners last week the.
Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Rocky Horror Picture Show
transsexual stuff.
It gets exciting.
Are your eyes OK, buddy?
My contact was book gambler.
Why didn't you put in like
sorority girls?
Like that was a great movie.
Because it's that's not one of
your top three.
Does it fit your genre?
It does doesn't fit what you
were talking about this, Yeah.
Have you guys ever seen sorority
girls?
No, no, no.
It's when the three guys dress
up as girls and they join the
sorority.
So see, he is a big fan.
A cross dressing movie.
He digs it.
Yeah.
Yeah, he digs it.
Hi, Michael.
Anything in social media you'd
like to talk about?
Tonight, you know, didn't really
catch too much in social media.
However, we did briefly talk
last week about Joshua Huberski
and the PCA salary and stuff.
He.
Expected my.
Friend request yesterday.
Yes, he did.
So he did comment on our.
Oh, did he?
Yeah, he said.
He said.
Well, he goes.
I think he wrote something like
at the very least I need a comb,
which I thought was pretty
funny, right?
Nonprofits have to disclose a
salary.
I had the mix.
Nonprofits have to disclose your
salary.
Yes, we were corrected by Yeah,
Mr. Corporations don't have to
disclose your salary.
That's why the NFL change from
nonprofit to corporation,
because they had to disclose
prior to.
So the PCA is a corporation.
No, there are nonprofits, so you
can look up the the data and the
information and from what we can
figure.
From what we've been told.
Oh, I mean, we're just looking
at the data, yes, we can figure
that Josh would probably make
somewhere north of 300 KA year,
right.
I think that that's fair.
Really.
Yeah, OK.
I honestly think that that's
fair.
So how much do you think the new
guy's going to be making now,
now that you know what roughly
Joshua makes?
Oh, you're talking about the
the.
Guy in charge of the
international educational
programs, which we have a follow
up story this week on that day.
It's too much 1,000,000.
Whatever he's getting, whatever
he's getting.
Too much, too much.
You think it's more than Joshua
though.
No, it's got to be close.
Yeah, it's got to be like 2250I
would guess.
No, I think he's at a million.
He's from Priceline.
A MIL?
No, he's from TripAdvisor.
Oh, whatever.
The owl.
Now, if we're assuming Josh
makes around the three mark.
Yeah.
And Scott Pearson left because
he wasn't making enough.
Yeah.
What do you think he's making
over at the CAA?
Way more.
It's got to be more.
Well, that's what I was saying.
I mean, so what's the move?
What's what is the, what is the
logic?
Where is the range for hey
logic?
I'm leaving this corporation to
move to the other corporation
because.
How much do you need to move?
What's?
The percentage, I would say it's
about 20%.
You think that's it 20%?
That's the baseline.
Now did he have to move or did
he just go across?
Town he moved.
OK, so CA is not in DC area.
Oh, he's in the DC area?
So plenty of money.
No, no, I know he moved company.
I meant physically moving his
entire family from one house to.
Another maybe he was there
already, I don't know so but
like at least mid threes to
close to fours.
I think it's a lot.
I think it's got to be at least
four over.
I mean, you saw Glenn.
I didn't imagine that type of
job paid that kind of.
Money.
You seen Glenn Lewis with the
bow ties, bro?
Well, what is it?
What?
Glenn Loop's an attorney,
though.
That guy.
What is he?
What are we doing?
Exactly, that's what I'm getting
at.
Yeah.
Apparently there's money to be
made in the cigar industry.
We're just not be making it.
Well, you need to.
You need to be a consultant of
some sort.
Well, everybody's giving their
money to that guys.
Those guys in the cigar.
I think that Joshua does good
work and I think that I think
that a 300K salary is
reasonable.
Did he get to you?
What?
No, no.
If you look at my previous
conversation, I said the same
thing.
I think that that price is about
right.
That makes sense.
Four, I got questions like, I
don't know, man, You're, you're
real, like right, you know.
I've kept plenty of questions
for. 3 I think a lot, you know a
lot of, but you know you better
perform, you better perform so.
Definitely, yeah.
And this is what, year 2 for
him?
This is year 2.
Yeah, but he was, wasn't he the
second guy before?
So, yeah, so right.
He was the interim director.
Whatever.
Oh, and now he's, well, I guess
this comes up later.
Now he's the CEO of PCA.
CEO, yes, yeah, he's, he's the
head honcho, right?
The big dog, right?
So how do these guys make their
money?
Like how does PCA make their
money?
Through the convention.
Well, we become members.
You pay for your membership, you
pay, you know, you pay dues
through conventions, you show up
the conventions that cost money.
The wholesalers pay for booth
space.
They make money on that, you
know, and it's they grow
somewhere about four or
$5,000,000 annual.
And PCA does what?
Well, they have the convention,
they make people join, They have
Nick.
Well, they help with, they help
with the rights of of cigars,
the cigar industry, they
definitely lobby and.
Lobbyists and stuff.
So they're so they're lobbyists.
I mean, I wouldn't say that.
I think they have lobbyists is
the way it works.
Yeah, they're all about.
They take meetings with senators
and now.
Isn't now we're cutting me off
now?
Now we're back to that.
We were doing so well for the
1st 30 minutes but go ahead,
tell them what?
They do for PC.
No, no, you're done.
No, no.
OK, then run the cigar news.
Here we go.
Next week, Roman crafted back.
We'll be in shipping the newest
cigar in his Craft Marquette
series to steal Porcupine Oh, a
4 1/2 by 56 Priya Ho that uses a
Ecuadorian Connecticut seed
wrapper over a Cameroon binder
and fillers from the Dominican
Republic and Honduras.
Each cigars in MSRP of $12.00 in
production is limited to 796
bundles of 10 cigars.
The name refers to that refers
to the term introduced by Ursula
von Deer Lien, president of the
European Commission, has a
defense strategy for the future
of Ukraine.
Land's basic argument was
Ukraine should develop enough
defense that it would deter
Russia or any other adversary
from the invading of the future,
as an attack would seem
unrealistic given the robustness
of the Ukraine military.
No, it's where you got the name.
Me neither.
It's a cool name though.
It is cool.
The Craft Marquette series was
introduced in 2023 and has seen
a seen a half dozen releases.
Roman Craft says the series
allows consumers a peek into the
company's blend process.
While the blends have varied,
the cigars have had similar
packaging.
Ribbons are ribbons are in lieu
of bands and the cigars have
been packaged in 10 count brown
paper bundle.
You excited about this one?
I had it when he was here.
It was good.
I liked it.
That was the one I wanted to
have, too.
I mean, you know, he had a small
buffet of assorted cigars.
You could try this.
I actually traded somebody to
get that one.
He, as you mean Skip Martin?
Skip Martin.
Sorry, yes.
And Boots, are you excited about
this?
Super excited.
Like, yeah, why are you so
excited?
No, I am.
I already got 2 bundles.
You got 2 bundles.
OK yeah it's a good blend man.
They, I mean, they don't make
bad cigars, so.
No, they make great cigars.
I can't wait till they get here.
Shipping this week, supposedly.
Allegedly shipping this week.
Hopefully not staying in a China
box or anything.
Yeah, OK.
All right, PCA announces
executive education program at
FIU.
Oh.
This falls right in with their
new Director of education.
The Premium Cigar Association
has announced that it will host
an executive education course
centered around the marketing of
premium cigars.
They're going to teach you how
to sell cigars.
Is that what they're doing?
It'll be held November at
Florida International University
Miami.
Joshua Bursky, who has changed
from PCA executive director to
CEO, will lead the course.
The guest speakers will be on
hand for the three day course.
The course says that it will use
the marketing of premium cigars
as a lens to understand broader
marketing and consumer
engagement trends.
Is that because the cigar
industry is always changing or
I'm not understanding that?
I don't know either.
I'm not quite sure either is his
background in marketing.
Do we know what he did before?
Ricardo Carbioni.
No, Joshua Bersky.
He's he's leading the course.
So what's the other guy doing?
I don't know yet.
He's just getting away from
Priceline.
I thought the other.
Guy getting away from
TripAdvisor.
I thought the other guy was
supposed to handle the
education.
Maybe he's one of the guest
speakers.
This is interesting.
Yeah.
I don't know how well it tracks.
I think.
I mean, you got to do something,
but I don't know.
So they're, so they're teaching
a college marketing students in
the college, correct?
No, this is for people like us
to sign up for.
There's a fee at the end.
I'll tell you how much it costs.
Oh Lord.
All right, keep going.
Luxury today is about more than
a product.
It's about crafting
unforgettable, emotional
resident experiences, says
Suzanne Bagnamara, program
director of FI, US Chaplain,
School Executive Education and a
press release.
This course is bridging the
world of tradition and
innovation, giving professionals
the tools and insights to
elevate their brand and
authentically connect with the
luxury consumer.
They're going to teach us how to
use Instagram.
It's literally what it sounds
like.
They're going to teach you how
to use Instagram.
That's what it sounds like
they're going to teach you how
to do.
They didn't say anything about
social media.
Where do they say?
No, but what other marketing can
you?
You can't do ads for cigars
except in cigar publications I
guess.
Yeah.
Well, if they're talking about,
you know, marketing can be
anything.
Marketing can be, you know, a
sign that they put by the
register.
Marketing could be something you
put outside your store.
I mean, it could.
Be a whole, it does cover a
broad.
I think there's specific
workarounds.
Here's the real question.
Do you think that the time and
energy should be put towards
this for Josh and PCA or should
it be put towards something
else?
I like to see the numbers
because what they're basing it
off of is some type of growth,
right?
So what growth and what is the
numbers of that growth?
OK, what about you?
What do you think?
Let's read on.
I'm going to do the course
description.
I'm going to tell you exactly
what it is.
OK, alright, perfect course
description says that those who
attend the course will walk away
with a deep understanding of how
luxury brands craft emotional
and aspirational value.
Strategies for creating
experimental marketing that
resonate with high end
consumers.
Insight into cross brand
collaborations and their impact
on brand equity.
Tools for positioning premium
products in saturated or
emerging luxury markets.
Real world perspectives from
industry experts shaping the
future of luxury branding.
Situated in Miami, a hub of the
premium cigar industry, FIU
Hospitality is the perfect
partner to launch this master
class, which will feature the
best of the premium cigar
industry, said Haberski in a
press release.
My hope is to eventually offer
both online and in person
classes to help personalize the
premium cigar industry and
educate people on the niche
industry in the largest
hospitality sector.
Course will take place November
19th through the 21st.
So with that's two days with the
first two days at FIU's 3.
Three days, sorry, first two
days at FIU's Biscayne Bay
campus and the final day at
Empire Social Lounge, a cigar
retailer in Fort Lauderdale.
The course will cost can I guess
that's what I'm getting at.
Who would like to guess three
day course FIUI?
Would like to guess $600.
Right, 12-12 hundred. 499 that
was close $500.
Mike was closest so you get 2
days at.
College.
One day I win, I win.
At the Empire Social Launch, we
would like to offer a fourth day
here at Cigar Hustler if they
would like to come.
Extra 199.
So like he OK, so, so it just
sounds like he's trying to
figure out a way to generate
more income, Right?
Right.
Exactly.
Which I I don't disagree with.
I think that that's OK.
I just don't know.
I don't know if it works.
Mikey, did you hear anything in
the description that you think
would help you and your retail
or online business?
I don't really think that this
is something that's geared
towards me.
I would actually go take the
course, to be honest.
I would go take the course.
Just out of curiosity or you
actually think it would do good?
To go listen to see what exactly
it's about, I would totally go
do it.
What's it called in college when
you don't?
Oh, maybe it's the wrong crowd.
What do you in college where you
take the course?
We don't really sign up for it.
There's a term for that.
Non committed.
Wait, what'd you say?
Extracurricular?
No, no it's not.
It non committed committed.
Yeah, it's.
No, there's a thing where you
you just in there watching, you
don't get a grade.
You observe observation.
It's called being a cuck.
No, no.
That's something that you do on
your own.
That's something.
That's what you do.
Don't you use?
Don't.
You throw it.
I do.
You're the one who brought it
up.
You have that.
Conversation.
OK, observation.
But there's a way to take a
college class where it costs
less, but you don't get a grade
at the end.
OK, that's what the kind of
thing you.
Should do, but I don't think
this is a graded course anyways.
This is like a.
Coaching strategy?
I'm just looking for a
discounted way to take it.
Maybe you don't get all the
information or something.
Yeah, whatever.
I'll give him $500 to go sit
through it.
I don't care.
Just charge it to the game,
baby.
Let's go.
Greg loves it when he charges
things to the game.
Oh.
Yeah, Oh yeah, he does.
He's amazing, Yeah.
I mean, realistically, you're
talking about marketing
strategies and all these other
things.
Wouldn't you like to see cigars,
cigar retail stores, cigar
brands, any of these other
things being permitted,
advertised on social media
platforms, on television and all
all those things?
Sure, certainly.
But I don't think this course is
going to do it for you though.
Right.
But that would be ideally the
best form of marketing, you
know, being able to promote your
store on a local TV channel.
But you can't really, because,
you know, if you talk about
cigars, it's, I'm sure there's a
loophole, but you can't.
Yeah.
If you're going to make a course
like this, right, something like
that where it can help grow your
business and grow the industry.
And also, yeah, I mean, there
should be future of the industry
portion of this class of this
course.
It's the same thing, like you
take an AC course or a plumbing
course or any of that stuff.
There's always a future of it,
like how do we progress and make
this industry better?
You know, this sounds more like
a money grab.
Yeah, I mean, realistically, if
I have to watch an advertisement
for, you know, something,
something Cialis or whatever.
By the way, rectal bleeding may
cause death.
Disclaimer at the.
End Some of the side effects are
worse than the the original
disease.
Yeah.
Why can't I talk about cigars on
the television?
I just don't.
That makes no sense to me.
Yeah.
You're going to get mouth or
lung cancer right?
No rectal bleeding, possibly the
the like right?
But I'm just you have to prove
that right.
The list is a little bit shorter
with cigars than it is with
scallops.
Yeah, yeah, disclaimer may calm
you down, you know what I mean?
Like.
May cause feelings of
relaxation.
Yeah, it may give you a moment
to.
Of clarity, yeah.
No choking people.
May lower stress in your.
Life, yeah, in order to reclaim
your thoughts may save your
children, you know, I mean, who
knows?
Like, who knows what they can
do?
This is ridiculous.
Will help your image.
Sorry, what?
Do you think he's going to wear
to the class?
Joshua Bershey?
We've given the.
Well if you look through his
posts, he actually does dress
well.
Well, I mentioned it.
Yeah, he normally wears like a
vintage type suit look he has
going on.
Except for that one day.
We don't know what the hell
happened on that day, right?
He was he was in the middle of
jobs, so he wasn't getting a
paycheck.
It was like he grifted.
Job was he in the middle of?
It was like he.
Was he was transferring?
It was like he was grifting on
the way in, you know, to put
together a couple bucks and then
and then showed up like I didn't
have the opportunity.
Oh crap, they think I'm supposed
to be here for this?
Maybe ever.
Maybe he walked in to buy cigars
and they were like, you were
supposed to be here.
Wasn't it?
Don't be a medicine South
Central where drinking your
juice in the hood had the
homeless guy and then he got in
his Mercedes afterwards.
Yeah.
Listen, if you're making 300,000
plus, he better be well dressed
at all times.
He usually is well dressed.
Well, he's not at the level
where he can wear anything at
1:10.
Anytime he's not quite a
millionaire though, like he's
not at I think what's what's the
salary?
Said he's in year 2.
One more year, he's there.
No, I think that the salary for
a millionaire is like 5 or 600
K, something like that.
That makes you a millionaire.
So yeah, he's almost there.
Most millionaires make 5 to 600
K annual.
Oh it's something like that.
OK, next story.
Now we have the world's most fun
tobacco game show.
What's the score?
Oh.
We're already rolling into that
there's.
Been a lot of conversation with
the stories.
I think there has been, yeah.
Well, that's that's the next
story.
What's the score?
What's the score?
We're moving on to?
What's the score?
That's all right.
This is from August 24th, 2025.
Brooks Whittington is the
reviewer.
Mr. Jump around.
It's Mr. Punches Weiner.
Wow, boy.
Here we go.
OK boots, you want to go first?
Nope.
You want me to go?
First.
Yep.
Well, did you set the standard
for the punches, Weiner?
82 I'm going to 82.
He wants 82 for the punches,
Weiner boots.
What do you want for the
punches, Weiner?
I'm.
Going to go 81. 81 for the
punches, Weiner OK, All right.
Scar reviewed is Punch Mr. Punch
Mr. punches Wieners.
Country of origin is Honduras
factories STG Donna Lee rapper
Ecuadorian Sumatra seed binder
USA broadly filler Dominican
Republic, Honduras and
Nicaragua.
Nice 6 inches by 50.
It is round like a Wiener and
MSRP is 699.
Bundle OF106990 Release date
April 2025, and he smoked 3
wieners for this review.
The only thing that sounds good
about this cigar is the size.
The 6 by 50.
Ecuador and Sumatra burnt.
Honduras burnt.
Yeah, not a big fan of Honduras.
There's a lot of a lot of
negatives here.
Tobacco sound like shit.
I'm going to go 84 solely based
on the 6 by 50 size.
I mean it is a good size.
It does not affect the score,
but it is a.
It is capped on both ends, so
you can choose from which end
you would like to smoke the
Wiener.
For anal plugging purchase
purposes, yeah.
Is this a room one O 1 cigar?
No, it's a punch.
It's like like.
Like Punch.
It's a punch.
Ridiculous.
Whatever.
Right, these cigars are OK.
BDPA couple years ago it that's
not OK, but an actual cigar
called a Wiener perfectly.
Fine, again that that brings me
back to the Miles Garrett
syndrome.
Like you can do things and get
away with things if you are
higher up on the food chain.
Like I I mean the Fuentes made
the pink whore or whatever the
hell.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, one of the cigars
you called the whore, it's.
Perfectly fine.
The prostitute, the pink hooker
or something like that.
You know that's not an issue.
Certainly.
Right.
But if you're but if you're
wrist A and Joslyn Crowl and you
put CBD in your cigars and call
them nugs, guess what?
You can't.
You can't show up at PCA, no.
You can't do that.
But if if Wente wanted to do
that, that would be perfectly
fine.
This is the pink mug.
It works like that in every Ave.
of life.
I got news for you.
It's just that simple.
I'm going 82. 8284 All right,
first clue.
The wrappers are mottled milk
chocolate brown color covered in
oils.
Each has numerous veins running
along the length.
All right.
It's a very veiny Wiener.
And vast, chocolately brown.
Yes, modded milk chocolate
color.
Seems like the size wouldn't be
correct.
It's.
Vascular it doesn't really
change much for me 85. 85 boots.
You went up one.
What are you talking about?
Doesn't change a lot.
You've got up like 3.
I'm just flirting in this area
in the mid 80s.
Oh God, I'm just going to say
the comments in this whole game
show so far have not been great.
He's very upset about the veiny
Weiner.
He loves it.
I'm going to stick in 82 look.
At his legs twitching over
there.
He's getting all excited. 82 All
right, when it comes to
construction, my second cigar
needs a couple of minor burn
corrections to stay on track,
but the other two cigars are
excellent in that regard, and
there are nothing but great
draws and plenty of thick smoke
on all three cigars.
We're talking about a puncher.
This is the Wing he's.
The thick he loves the thick and
vascular Wiener.
Thick veiny Wiener with lots of
smoke. 85 I'll stay 85. 82.
OK.
Way to go.
I couldn't hear him 8282 other
than a minor burn correction for
my last cigar.
All aspects of the construction
are problem free until I'm
finished with each cigar.
Is that your final one?
You got a.
Final thought.
Nope.
Now there's final thought.
OK, so there is.
That was the last clue because
you've given a 0 indication of
the flavor profile.
There wasn't a whole lot in
there.
Because it probably tastes like
shit.
Probably I'll stay 85.
Me too.
Whenever I hear about a cigar
that's blended to have two or
more profiles in the same cigar,
I immediately have two separate
but equally important questions.
First, is there a clear
transition between the different
profiles?
And 2nd, do these transitions
make the cigar better or worse?
When it comes to the Mr. Punch
Wieners, the answers those
questions are yes and absolutely
respectively.
The profile starts out with
fairly standard flavors of earth
and oak, but right around the
halfway point, everything
changes as flavors of coffee
beans and sourdough bread take
over, along with a very
interesting BBQ sweetness on the
retro rail.
Give me a full cigar that tastes
like a second-half of a cigar
and I would be a happy camper.
But even with the less
interesting profile in the first
half, the Mr. Punch, The Punch
Mr. Punch Wiener is a great
addition to the series made-up
of memorable releases.
So he liked it.
He's in love with it.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Did you hear all that?
Brooks loves the Wiener.
Apparently it changes to a
different cigar halfway through,
right?
Yeah, I didn't catch that until
the the final.
Thought Brooks loves the Wiener.
Brooks loves the veinie Wiener.
I'm gonna go 88.
Yeah, I was.
I was trending towards the 90s.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to go 90. 87 Booch
should have stayed.
Yes, well, 88.
I still would have won even if
he did 85 or 84.
Well, you were at 88.
I thought maybe he would go as
high as 87 and then stop there.
Well, he made it sound like this
was his Creme de la Creme.
I know it doesn't.
And the final thought I when I
was reading it originally too, I
was like, oh, he's really going
to like this.
And I was like.
What?
It's still a punch.
Right, But it's his favorite
punch, I guess.
His way.
To the end of the day, it
doesn't.
Yeah, right, But it's still a
punch.
It's the nicest Ford Pinto I've
ever seen, right?
You know what I mean?
It's.
Still a Ford Pinto?
It's.
Still a Pinto?
Oh God.
All right, second cigar from
June 26th, 2016, Mr. Charlie
Minato. 2.
It's a Padrone 1926 series #48
The Natural, Very specific, very
specific.
Who's going first?
You go first this time.
OK, I'll go 91.
That's a good number.
I'm gonna go 92.
Before you read anything.
Yes.
If this doesn't get over a 90 I,
this is absurd.
It's the natural though.
It's not the Maduro.
It's not the Maduro, it's a
natural.
I understand the the Maduro
should be like high 90s.
And it's nine years ago.
They haven't.
The the padrone has never
changed.
Doesn't mean Charlie's taste
haven't.
Whatever, No, they haven't
changed.
You're right.
Because he likes to wear the
same thing all the time.
All right is the 1926 series #48
Natural is from Nicaragua.
I no longer have my mute thing
on here, right?
No, we didn't put that in
anymore.
You guys sneeze?
I'm.
Going to need it again.
Country of origin is Nicaragua
factory Tabaco Cupacana.
Good.
Rapper Nicaragua Binder
Nicaragua Filler.
Nikki Ragua.
Nice length 5 1/2 by 60.
It's a robusto Gordo.
Back then it was $20 a stick.
The release date May 4th, 2016
Number Let's See Cigar smoked 3.
Even the price hasn't really
changed by much.
OK.
I'm sorry I'm I'm sticking 91.
This is going to be tough
because it's a bigger gauge.
It's Charlie.
It's natural.
I think he likes natural over
the Maduro.
I'm going to pivot to 90. 1991
Yep, the Pedro 1926 #48 begins
with me wondering if I cut the
cigar too much.
I didn't, but the lack of
resistance on the draw has me
concerned.
On a 60 gauge lack of resistance
so it's like easy to pull.
Yes.
That's a padrone, isn't it?
OK, So what you got?
I'm sticking 91.
All right, I'll go 90 still.
There is a mild spice blend
through the nose, more of a
sensation than a flavor, along
with some dry pepper skin and
Raspberry on the tongue.
I'm.
Sorry, a dry pepper skin, Yeah.
I don't know what that means.
Oh God.
Have you never had dry pepper
skin before?
Now with Raspberry on my tongue.
Sounds like a different Charlie.
OK, what you got?
Oh, that was it.
You were.
That was, yeah.
That was the glue.
Raspberry on the tongue, OK?
Dried pepper skin, Raspberry on
the tongue.
Period. 91 there's there's no
change.
You wanted flavor profiles?
This one's got flavor profiles.
Horrible mind.
I'm a stick at 90.
All right, well, one sample
avoids the tunnelling.
All three are plagued by a
problematic draw. 60.
He may have cut it wrong.
No he didn't.
Might have.
I got pepper skin and Raspberry.
He never cuts it wrong.
I'm a go idiot.
He drops to the 80s.
It's a bold move.
I'm a stick 90.
OK, 9088.
Given just how good the 6 by 60
version of the 1964 was, I was
interested in trying this
gigantic version of the 1926.
Flavor wise, it's a great
representation of the blend.
However, an extremely open draw
and constant touching up torpedo
that score a major torpedoes the
score in a major way at $20 per
cigar.
Oh, this must be the final
thought already.
Yeah, all right.
At $20 per cigar, construction
issues aren't acceptable in my
opinion, but they become far
more annoying when a cigar takes
nearly 3 1/2 hours to smoke.
Yes, I smoked slow, but even
after 90 minutes, I was fairly
over the 1926, even with the
flavor improving.
No matter how good the cigar
tastes, struggling to smoke it
is never fun.
That's it.
That is it.
What?
Are you doing?
86.
Damn.
I'm dropping.
That is a hard that's that's
hard because I was hoping you
stayed 88 and I was going to
swoop in 87.
Is it?
Does the cigar rank lower than
86?
Man, I don't know.
Like Ginger's getting hair over
there.
It tasted good, but it sucked
for construction.
What you said it doesn't matter
that how good it tastes I.
Can't believe we reviewed a
cigar for three hours.
And at what point do you give up
and go, OK I can score this now?
It's only been an hour and a
half, but I'm good.
Well, it's 20 bucks.
When his 20 bucks oh.
I thought they always.
Buy this you know he pays for
his own.
Well, the company does, but it
didn't like, come out of his
pocket, I meant.
Because that was bottom line.
Not like he made $20 less.
That does it go to 85?
I don't know, Sir, but he's
running out of.
Time.
Oh, there's a pitch clock.
Sorry Sir, we're going to need
an answer.
Boots may win this one.
I'm going to go 87 and.
What did he go 8676?
Yes, wow, he fucking scored
that.
The construction problems really
pissed Charlie off, apparently.
Yeah, on a pedrone.
Damn, I didn't think he'd go
that low.
But three hours?
He's fed up.
But he said one was good, though
not all of them were.
Bad.
Not all of them tunneled, but
they all had burn issues.
You think it's the size?
Look, it's hard to pinpoint CC
could just be having a bad day.
I mean, who the fuck knows.
Yeah, maybe, you know, lit it
sideways or something and you
know.
He could have just chose
violence that day.
He could have been pissed off
that maybe his hair wasn't good
that day.
Yeah, maybe he's bipolar.
Who knows?
Yeah, probably.
He got some ash on the hoodie
and pissed him off.
I like seeing Happy Charlie
talking to Happy Charlie is
awesome.
I like Happy Charlie.
Yeah, Angry Charlie.
He throws like these casual jabs
at you and I'm like.
He does.
He's very because he's so smart.
He can be mean with his work.
Like is that supposed?
Am I supposed to be offended?
Smart.
He is.
He's very smart.
I know, but I like how you said
he could be mean with his work.
Right.
Well, he knows how.
I mean, it's a talent with yeah.
Slides it in.
I'm like, hey, that wasn't nice.
Yeah.
Hey, that hurt.
Hey.
Dude.
You're not in the group.
Not allowed to say that to me in
your sweats.
Yeah, you're not allowed to say
that to us.
Only he could say that, and I
could say that to him.
You're.
Supposed to be nice to me.
Right, we advertise on your
little magazine.
Anything.
On your magazine thing.
Did they ever put out a printed
version?
It's always been online.
Has it?
I think it's always been.
I mean, back when it was called
whatever it was out there before
Taste the torch or something
like that Stogie.
Something Stogie's Stogie Stogie
Stogie Press.
No, that's around now.
That's what's Fred Ruiz
Magazine.
It's.
The other guy, that's cigar
Press.
Oh, OK, then why Stogie Press?
But he had, yeah, he had another
partner.
The guys reviews are there too,
but I don't feel it's fair
because you guys don't know who
he is.
No, that's OK.
You can throw it out there.
I have one you guys didn't do
well, so I stopped doing him.
Who's the guy that lives here?
Is that Brian?
Yeah.
I'm going to try to find a Brian
next week.
OK, Alright.

Yes, you like transsexual
movies.

Point.

Perfect.
We're in a tie this week.
For this week, you finally.
Finally come out tied.
Hey man, even a broken clock is
right twice on perfect.
I was going to say that too.
Every every once in a while a
blind squirrel still catches the
nut.
Perfect.
Well, he's been that day.
Today Butez is nuts.
I had a.
Moment of weakness.
I should have won 85.
And Joshua, hello, We, we love
your clothes.
We love your clothes.
He's my friend now on Facebook.
I don't know, he might be
watching.
We got to you got to have him
call in.

Oh, not a problem.
The other guy's wages.
We want to ask what happened
with the attire on that.
Right.
What happened that day?
Yeah.
And what's the purpose of the
whole yadda yadda?
Education.
Yeah.
Oh, the class.
Oh, that's how I can get him.
Don't we want to talk to him
about the class?
Yeah, that's.
How I can get him?
Yeah, it's not like he listens.
He's not going to.
Yeah, well, he's but he sees the
shorts, everybody.
Sees the shorts, the rest of the
world 5000 people like Superman.
