Coupon.
No, let's do this.
Let's mail him a sandwich in the
regular US mail with mayonnaise
on it.
And.
Then we'll have him eat with us
on the show.
Well, I mean, those things won't
go bad if it's Burger King.
No, no, a regular sandwich with
Mayo on it.
It gets old.
Datacast 2004 says Howard
invented the kissing machine
That kissing machine years ago
on The Big Bang Theory.
Yeah, OK, that was TV show that
wasn't real.
This is a real one.
It does look oddly similar
though.
Yes, Kratos 899 says.
I give props to Phillip.
I bet doing the flipping on the
cameras of the cameras is
intense.
Super intense.
Yeah, well, Kratos did fill in
for a brief period of time on
one.
Of our thank you, I'm thank you
Kranos.
I'm glad I have another name
now.
My name is now Phillip.
He's giving.
He's giving you.
He was giving you a proper name.
Like I need another one.
And then Rook's coding says if I
want to know what's going on in
the world, I just TuneIn here.
Thank you guys for the great
show.
Oh, you're welcome.
It's Charlie Charles.
Charlie like Charlie Manana.
No Charles like Charles from
Rooks Cody.
Oh, and Bryce Field says I have
to agree with Mikey.
When I see an AI post on
Instagram or Facebook, I hate it
and scroll past it is going to
make it so we can't trust what
we are seeing.
Do you think that's what they
want?
Yes, it's very possible they
care.
You know, I just wanted to know.
I had a friend of mine go to
Mexico for the weekend.
I know a friend of mine went to
Mexico too.
Yeah, and he saw nothing of
cartel shenanigans.
Where in Mexico did he go?
It's kind of like there would be
war in Florida and you go to
Montana, you know, it's a big
country.
I think that they they would
attack the, he said.
They went into a bunch of
places, a bunch of tourist
places.
Did they go where the Puerto
Vallarta area or is that
somewhere else?
Did he go to the hood?
I'm going to say yes.
I don't think so.
And there was nothing.
Because the airport's closed.
How'd they get there?
They flew.
So they didn't go to Puerto
Vallarta?
Maybe they did.
Because the airport's closed.
How do you how do you know that?
Because it's in the news.
So we just believe everything
the news says.
Pretty much.
Did they have spiders on their
necks anywhere around there?
Spiders.
I don't believe anything.
It's in the news.
Then why are we reading the
news?
'Cause it's fun.
Oh.
It's edutainment.
It's edutainment and people get
divided.
It's.
Fun and names.
'Cause people get divided and
they get fired up.
We enjoy that.
Oh, oh, I can pick more decisive
stories.
Decisive or divisive?
Decisive.
Decisive.
People have to make a decision
which side they want to be on.
And then they're divided, yes,
which makes them divisive.
I don't think so.
No, I don't think that's how
that works.
No, they're just.
Decisive.
Your edge of attainment stuff.
Edutainment.
Whatever.
OK, OK, well hey, let's get into
the war on everybody against
America.
It's not everybody against
America, it's everybody against
Iran, right?
Well, Iran's a problem.
Right, they started it.
Sounds like.
Well, at least this time.
Sounds like a sibling war.
Well, what happened?
So what happened without looking
at that teleprompter?
What happened?
Yeah, Iran shot missiles at a
Navy base.
Oh, they did, yes.
And that's what we and then we
said.
And we went up.
Now you've done.
It so you guys are all in in the
same room and bye bye them.
Right.
Well, the CIA gave them
information that they were
having this little meeting, and
that's when they whooped and
then they killed.
All the people, yeah.
All the heads of state or.
Whatever and clean slate.
Clean slate.
You think they should have?
Well they would have done like a
zoom meeting or something
instead of all being in the same
room.
Well, they might not have that.
Utility you don't think they
have?
So you have zoom you.
Don't think they have Internet.
Maybe it's called something.
Well, actually, the Internet's
down over in that part of the
world.
It's it's down for regular
people.
Well.
I yeah 'cause they don't use
regular Wi-Fi.
They use Ahala.
Ahala ahala.
Ahala Baba.
All.
Right.
Interesting.
It's like AT&T.
Yeah, it's just like AT.
And T it's different.
OK.
Somebody asked in a news report,
somebody asked Trump who was
going to be taking over for the
the person that they killed.
He goes, I don't know.
He goes, I guess the position's
open.
He goes, oh, hey, look, I'm
opening jobs in other countries
too.
Well, from they shoot some
missiles.
We shoot some missiles back and
forth, back and forth, right?
Israel shots the missiles.
Israel shots the missiles and.
Well, William Jong UN goes, oh,
America should not have bombed
Iran.
King Jong UN calls, Trump says
Yo, we good like you're.
No, he calls.
You guys shouldn't have done
that.
Yeah, well.
China's like, you should not
have killed the Ayatollah.
I'm like, he was in the room.
What do you want us to do?
We wanted to kill the Ayatollah.
Right, I know these are the bad.
People, he's on the list.
But it's up to Iran now to
create their own revolution,
right?
Correct.
I guess I don't know how this
ends.
It's not.
It's not even an official war.
It's a conflict.
Well, I don't want an official
war and I don't want us getting.
I don't want boots on the
ground.
I don't want to send.
I don't.
Want to go on the ground either?
Sending our troops is not the
right move.
We're.
Already troops over?
There sending more troops is not
the right move in my opinion.
Oh well, we sent a whole another
carrier group.
The USS Lincoln is there now
with the the Reagan.
There's two.
Lincoln and Reagan are there.
Yes, there's two aircraft
carriers there now. 2 The two
super ships.
I mean, OK, that's.
That's more planes than Iran has
we have on boats.
Yeah, that's good.
You know, if we if we help
facilitate, I'm OK, but I'm not
OK with us going in completely
insane.
Oh well, that's how it's going
to work.
Well, is it going to have to?
People guys go hey do something.
Please help me.
No way.
Is that how they sound?
They sound like Pepe Le Pew,
Yeah.
Help me help me.
Yeah, hey, do something.
They're French.
They're all French there.
Or no, it wasn't Pepe Le Pew.
It was Speedy Gonzalez.
Yeah, his his brother, Slowpoke.
Rodriguez.
Slowpoke.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Amen.
Where are we going to Where are
you going?
That's what they sound like.
Yeah, just with a turban.
With a turban.
Yeah, OK.
Because.
You didn't say towel.
Oh, I wasn't going there.
I didn't want you to check
boxes.
Oh, Kuwait, He shot down three
of our judges by mistake.
Kuwait.
Kuwait did.
They got involved.
Obviously they messed up the.
Next country over they saw some
planes flying over and shot them
down and they're like, yeah,
well they're ours.
Oh so sorry.
Well, did you, did you guys hear
about the planes that we sent
over there, the kamikaze planes?
We said we have kamikaze.
Planes.
So they're kamikaze drones?
Oh yeah, yeah, I've heard about.
Those.
So there's not people in these.
Things.
No, there's, there's nobody.
They're unmanned, but.
Japanese guys, no fly.
No.
But listen, the greatest thing
about this is they replicated
the Iranians planes, the type of
planes.
That they look the same.
They look exactly the same, so
like they thought they were
their planes.
That is some sneaky shit right
there.
Do we just have like sitting
around for different countries?
Who are we fighting this week,
guys?
What planes do we need to get
up?
How do they not know though
'cause they got like the three
planes?
Like, wait a second, our planes
are right here.
We.
Can see.
We can see all of.
Them Yeah, we we have the whole
fleet right here.
What's going on here?
Wait, Terry, You're still on the
ground, Terry.
Terry Yeah.
Terry, Terry, all like Baba all.
Right.
Some of the Royal Guard, their
elite fighting forces, have been
cut off by radio.
They can't get contact with the
higher ups so they just do
whatever they want.
That's like screw it.
Screw it, let's just attack
something.
Yeah, this is fire.
Dogs.
Fire at will.
Well, I like the fact that the
King Jong Moon said, Hey, you
shouldn't do that.
I I would respond to him with
like, bro, we're pelting them
out monthly.
I'd keep your mouth shut
exactly, you know.
China said you.
Oh, we already talked about.
That China says listen.
Listen.
Like that wasn't was that
necessary?
Can't.
Everyone get along, it's very
rad.
Was that necessary?
Is.
That exactly necessary.
Yes, it was.
Well, they get all their oil
from Iran.
Right.
It's almost like there's a
strategy here.
Gas prices are going to go up,
they say.
You think so?
The report says over $3. 299 so
it's.
Not like it's had a big deal.
I I love, I love the chaos of
the news.
Yeah.
Gas is gonna break 3 dollars.
Yeah, like, OK.
Do you remember when it was $6?
Right.
And I'm like, what the hell are
we doing?
Yeah, that's when, that's when
it's chaos.
It's not even the number one
story in the news right now.
The the whatever conflict in
Iran.
What's the number one story?
Zanaya and Tom Holland got
married.
Way more important.
Way more important.
Spider Man.
Spider Man in a secret ceremony
her hairdresser has told
everyone they got married.
Oh, she leaked it.
Yep, she is no longer the
hairdresser on this.
Yeah.
Are you OK with the?
Yeah, the hairdresser's dead to
me at that point, right?
Or do they go look if the day
after you tell everybody?
You go ahead and you leak the
news.
We don't want to tell.
Anybody.
We don't want anybody to know.
Maybe.
Maybe that's the move, you know,
maybe keep it low key.
They don't have to announce at
that point like you were the
mole.
You just let it go quietly.
Leak the Intel.
Call those guys who are looking
for the lady's mother.
Well, that's cool.
Wow, the lady's mother.
I couldn't remember the name of
the show or the lady.
Oh, I thought you were talking
about Samantha Guthrie.
Yeah, Samantha Guthrie's mother.
Who's this show that gets all
the information?
Good Morning, America.
No.
I don't know TM.
ZTMZ Yeah.
TMZ Call TMZ, tell them we got
married, Yeah.
There was a lot in that whole
segment just right there and.
Then tell her where Samantha
goes through his mother is.
No, that we don't know that.
Maybe the hairdresser knows that
too.
I don't know, did your friend
find him in Mexico by chance?
No, I had a friend looking.
You had a friend of Mexico.
I thought maybe they would have
run into her at the bodega.
Or something.
Oh, I got you.
No, no.
Why they're out sightseeing all
over Mexico.
No, I think that they're
starting to look back at the
family again.
That's what it sounds.
Yeah, I heard they they took in
someone for questioning it.
Doesn't make sense.
It doesn't make sense.
If there was no ransom, there
was no nothing, you know well.
There's been like 17 ransom
letters.
But yeah, but they were all.
Were there any of them found?
Out terrible if one of them was
the right one and you just got
lost in the shuffle.
Yeah, that would be terrible.
Sometimes that happens.
I sent the note.
Yeah, well, I guess you got to
die.
I'm sorry, lady.
They.
Don't want to pay?
Send it again.
Send it again.
You think she's still around?
No, I don't think so either.
I hope so.
I think the stress of the
situation would have done her
in.
By that I would love the like.
Nothing would be awesomer than.
Big reunion shot of her being
hugged.
Her face is dirty, her hair's
all messed.
Up.
Yeah, we got her.
She's got a teardrop.
Tattoo.
She's OK.
She's, you know.
Wearing Costco pajamas 'cause
that's all they gave her to.
Wear Kirkland signature, right?
I mean, they spoiled her if they
gave her that, maybe you know
what I'm saying?
So.
Bags half on her head, still
just hanging off the back.
Yeah, I got free.
I killed them all.
She went straight mercenarial.
She went mercenary.
Yeah, it's where the teardrop
tattoo comes.
From.
Yeah, like the.
Hairpin.
She found a hairpin in her.
Hand like Martin Lawrence's
son-in-law and bad boys forever.
You snags me snags just.
Cleaned out the house?
They're covered for you.
Got it.
I got it.
All right.
Well hey, I'm glad that we
covered 3 topics there very
briefly.
All the big news stories.
Wait.
Wait 15 minutes.
Perfect.
Yeah, but I don't, I honestly
hope that we don't go to like
official war.
I don't want to see boots on the
ground.
I don't think that.
I don't think that the American
people want that, you know?
How else can it end?
They surrender.
They got it.
The majority of the, from what I
understand, the majority of the
of the Iranian population want a
revolution and they want more
Western culture, Western
society, because that's how it
was a long time ago, 40-50 years
ago, right?
So then you know this guy came
in whatever the hell his name
is.
I am Bose.
And he's a.
And he was a.
Ayatollah something A.
Complete douche so.
With the Sierra law or whatever
they call.
It Ayatollah blah blah blah.
If you're getting World News
from us, just for the record, I
mean.
Go somewhere else.
Yeah, like, just enjoy the
entertainment, yeah.
Oh, not the education.
Edge of attainment.
This is not.
Part of the edge, it's the edge.
Go ahead.
The edge is very small in that
the edge attainment the
attainment's bigger.
Some of these facts are true.
Some, yes.
I mean, they're true, just
skewed.
It's just we're just actually,
you know what?
I guess we're just like every
other news source then.
Right.
Yeah, this is our side.
We like it, we walk that back.
Anybody knows anybody, the New
York Post, can you tell them to
give me a free subscription
because.
'Cause I'm not paying.
Yeah, it's not paying.
When you try to read the
article, it's like click here to
buy.
You click on it and then it.
You know after you read 3 lines
it comes up.
You know what they're good
though?
They're good writers because
those 3 lines really get you.
You think about clicking the.
Button, they end up going to,
you know, South Dakota news or
something.
That that pays for their New
York subscription and then just
copy and paste, right?
Yeah.
Makes sense?
South Dakota News South.
Dakota News.
They have news.
They're free.
They're free.
They're on top of things.
They have a free website all
right, I.
I couldn't agree more.
Disney World's closing a ride,
Michael.
They're closing a ride.
Oh right, yesterday was the last
day to ride.
Oh, which dinosaur ride?
Nope.
After three decades of being a
fan favorite, they are closing
the rock and roller coaster star
in Aerosmith.
They've been closed out.
Oh yeah, they're going to.
Redo it official last day was
yesterday.
They're going to redo it.
Do you want to read the story?
They're getting rid of
Aerosmith.
Right.
And they're bringing in The
Muppets.
Yeah, Sam Ride.
They're just now there's a
Muppet.
Oh yeah.
So you think they were just
getting tired of paying
Aerosmith for the Yeah.
They're like royalties in my
ass, right?
We own The Muppets.
Let's just put them in there
that.
That's probably gonna be a great
roller coaster, though.
It's the exact same roller
coaster, they're just changing
the graphics inside.
What happens is like every seven
years or something.
Yeah, you have to.
You have to redo the track and
all that stuff like for safety.
Yeah, yeah.
So then you have to at that
point you have to decide, is
this ride worth keeping or
should we just redo redo it
completely or wipe it out.
It played three Aerosmith songs,
so I imagine they paid for that
too.
Yeah, of course.
Well, cutting ties.
Right.
Make it cheaper.
Yeah, it's like the in
Universal, they have the that
RIP ride Rocket, which I love
that ride because it was always
problematic and breaking down
and stuff, and I kind of
gravitate towards those things.
So when it came time to redo it,
they've wiped it and they're
going to put up the new Fast and
Furious roller coaster there,
which will be really.
So everything's like, if you've
ever gone on the the Guardians
of the Galaxy ride at Epcot, the
roller coaster, probably not.
You're really old, but.
Yes, I've been.
There's like 4 different carts
on this roller coaster and they
all turn, yeah.
So in the same fashion, it'll be
like that where the cars turn
and they slide and yeah, yeah.
Didn't we go on a fast and
furious ride when we went there
for the Christmas Day?
I.
Don't know if we went at that
time, but they have it's like a
they.
Used to have a Fast and Furious
show.
It's a cinema thing.
Oh, OK.
Which will be closing, I think
as well, because they get so
many mixed reviews.
But I always like that ride and
I like seeing the cars.
Yeah, so whatever.
You still have passes.
You don't talk about it.
Of course.
Do you still go often?
Yeah, man, you just don't talk
about it anymore.
Well, it's been the winter time.
Yeah, well, I like going, you
know, we've gone a few times.
I, I don't go as often as I'd
like to just because I sport at
a level, you know?
Time when would you go?
Yeah, I sport at a level of Oh
my God.
Right.
Yeah, we heard you just acquired
your new league.
No, I didn't acquire a new
league.
I would never do that.
Oh, we thought.
You started.
You started one.
I didn't start a new league.
Oh, you just took over?
No, I wouldn't take over one
either.
Became second banana.
I don't have time for that.
Are you the scorekeeper for it?
Yeah, that's how they get him
in.
Just take, just take the just do
the score for us.
OK, that's a great idea.
Palmer and Bucha going.
You're going to be running a
team here soon.
No.
No, never.
No.
Now I have 17 teams, right?
I I apologize for showing up.
I apologize to us, just except
when we tell you something that
it's going to happen.
Yo, is that how that works?
That's how it works.
You can tell me that I'm going
to be a billionaire.
I'd like to poo poo that.
Too.
Why would we tell you that?
That's ridiculous.
We don't do anything that makes
money here.
We would discuss that last show.
God, I wish I could do that.
If I could, if I could tell you
something that come true, I
would definitely tell you that.
What are you talking about?
We told you we were getting
curtains and look, we have
curtains.
There you go.
Those are nice by the way.
Nobody can see our curtains.
Hope they look good open.
Costco baby.
Why wouldn't they look good
open?
I don't know.
Oh, is it Costco?
The orange?
It look like Home Depot.
No, it's Costco.
I don't get an idea there.
All right.
And Australia scientists are
testing a new male
contraceptive.
OK.
It's called the atom, the atom
the.
Atom, ATOM or AD AM.
AD AM OK groundbreaking male
contraceptive.
It's an injection that you have
to get in your nuts.
I'm out.
Why would I do that?
That sounds ridiculous.
I.
Don't know.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
It's in phase two human trials.
They're ready for you, Michael.
People are letting them just
shoot them in the nuts.
Shoot them in the nuts.
I like to know how much money
that they're getting for the nut
shooting.
The complimentary nut shooting.
Yeah, they use a hydrogel
injected to do the vast
difference.
Oh my God, I'm cringing over
here.
It kills the sperm.
No, it blocks it.
Where does it block them?
And the vast difference, that's
the the connector where the
sperm goes through to get out.
Oh, so you can't have babies?
So they clog the tube.
They clog the tube.
Sounds like there's going to be
some shooting going.
On that can't be good, yeah.
Wait, can't that be good?
You clogged the tube.
You clogged the tube last time I
the tube where the sperm is, not
the tube where everything else
is.
So there's still discharge.
There's no sperm.
In it I understand that, but
from what I understand you want
everything to kind of flow.
Right.
Like just in, you know, like.
Well, how is it any different
than if you get a vasectomy and
they cut it?
You still same idea.
It's.
Probably not a good idea there.
I said not a good.
Idea.
This is the flow.
We're shutting down the flow.
It prevents sperm from mixing
with the semen.
The minimal invasive procedure
only takes 10 minutes just to.
Oh gosh, I don't know why, but
all my muscles just go limp when
you talk about it.
It can last for up to two years.
That's 'cause you're still
producing babies.
Yeah.
Are you done at this point or
what?
I'm done.
I'm not getting the gel you're.
Not getting the shot in the.
Nuts.
No.
Are you going to get the snip?
Nope.
Problem is, it says up to two
years.
So how do you know when it's?
Oh good, it's time to revamp.
You have to set an alarm on your
iPhone.
Yeah, but up to two years.
So it means it could be anywhere
from, you know, one day to two
years.
They call.
They call you after 18 months.
After 18 months they come in and
check and see.
It's time to redo your oil.
There's going to be a lot of,
there's going to be a lot of
lawsuits with this.
You think so?
Yeah, you told me up to two
years.
Well, we said up to we didn't
know it was only going to take
six months.
Yeah, Australia's an overly,
overly regulated country.
They're they, you can't sue
them.
They won't let you do that.
It's completely reversible.
They could dissolve the gel with
another shot.
Clear it out.
Another shot.
Another shot.
Jesus.
What are we doing?
What are we doing?
Who are the guys sitting there
going?
You know what would be a great
idea?
Let's shoot each other in the
nuts with this gel and see what
happens.
I bet if we shot each other in
the nuts with this.
Yeah, no, couldn't.
Have babies.
I mean, how do you convince the
first guy?
Not tap.
With a with a decent check, how
much money do you need?
Right.
How much money for us to shoot?
Hey mate, how much money for us
to shoot you in the nuts?
I'll do it for fosters.
You ever see?
Surviving ice cold beer.
It'd be fine.
You ever see you ever see
surviving the game with Ice
Cube?
No.
Really.
Oh, it's a great movie.
I have to chill that out.
They hunt homeless people.
Oh, OK, He's got he, he's, he
gets hunted.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh.
He's homeless.
There's been several versions,
yeah, as you see, yeah.
And then like to to see if he
would pass a test, they charge
the for 20 bucks.
They asked him to run on a
treadmill for X amount of times
like, yeah, sure, no problem.
I'm sure that there's somebody
that for, you know, or a
sandwich, they want to shoot you
in the nuts.
So this is like a downgraded
Hunger Games.
Yes, pretty much.
OK, You know it's this lab
experiment, right?
Are you talking about the game
or the OR the real life?
The movie or?
The movie Is there a real life
Hunger Games?
This is before hunger.
Games.
This is before Hunger Games.
There's been several movies
where homeless people get
haunted.
Yes, Sean Quinn Van Damme did
one.
Did he?
Yeah, it was probably very 80s.
It's probably very common in.
The very, yeah, very 80s very I
kick you in the face.
He has parachute pants and does
splits.
Right.
You know, maybe like Hollywood
tries to implement these things,
right?
And then you're like, oh, man,
that was that was from this
movie, you know, like you could
see.
And then it's kind of becomes
part of I'm really kind of upset
about that.
We still don't have flying cars
from Back to the Future.
Well, we kind of do.
And power laces.
Oh, the The unmanned taxis are
all over Orlando now.
They have power laces it.
Popped up, I thought, you know
what?
I think I saw one today.
The waygo or whatever.
Yeah.
Yeah, they said people were mad
about it.
They're park.
They're parking in prime parking
places, yeah.
And that upsets them, yes.
I want to ride in one.
I heard the robots axes are
better.
Yeah, and more affordable.
Oh.
They don't have these around
universal.
You think?
They're probably about by the
airport I would imagine.
I saw one.
You said that.
Yeah, I saw one.
In your neighborhood.
Do you guys watch?
Speaking of shows that do the
same idea, do you guys watch The
Rookie?
I used to a long time ago.
That's an old show.
Yeah, it's still, it's still on,
but they did.
Is it?
Still rookie after all this
time.
No, no, he's not rookie anymore.
They still call it that, which
is kind of odd, but they did
Conair.
I mean, they exactly did,
Conair.
Yeah, Did they?
Yeah, even the airplane with the
slow motion, the people getting
on the plane, this is blah,
blah, blah.
He's killed 17,000 people.
Right, they took the insulin
from the guy.
No, but there was a bad guy on
the plane that had a gun.
And he didn't need his meds.
Cyrus the virus.
Cyrus the.
Virus did you?
Guys, watch the new Marshall.
The new Yellowstone.
Spin off?
No.
Did that start last?
Time don't talk about.
CPS.
It's on Paramount.
Is it?
Yeah.
How was it?
That's what I thought.
It was.
I would watch it again.
I'm out.
Why'd you do the face and then
say that?
Comment because he's a little
Rambo Yi mean, like there's a
whole team of people, but of
course he kills everybody.
Well, yeah, he was a was it a
Ranger or something?
He was a Navy SEAL, a SEAL, but
so was his boss who got him to
be a Ranger and apparently to be
a Ranger.
Your buddy just goes I'm going
to deputize you, then hand you a
badge and then you're AUS
Marshall.
Just like that.
That's that's all they did.
Yeah, that's true.
And they killed off his wife.
She died.
Stop talking about the show,
Palmer.
The show's spoiler Spoiler, The
show starts.
She's already gone.
Did she leave or did she?
She died of cancer.
See she.
There's a lot of people in on
the rez dying of cancer because
they're poisoning the water.
She obviously sided with Kevin
Costner.
Yeah, decided not to be in the
spin off.
Allegedly signed, believed in
Kevin Costner and lost that
battle.
Apparently.
So.
OK.
But it wasn't bad.
It's not a reigning endorsement.
Right.
I mean, there's only so many
things there to watch.
Is it better than Peaky
Blinders?
I don't have Netflix, I don't
watch Peaky.
Blinders.
Not much is better than Peaky
Blinders bro.
And I'm getting towards the end,
it's getting good.
All right, the McDonald's is
putting out the big arch.
Told you 30 years.
Ago they released this same
hamburger and it was a terrible
flop.
Really. 30 years ago. 30 years
ago.
Wasn't there another one that
they released?
It was the big and tasty.
There was a big and tasty.
Are you going to release?
Are you going to have us taste
like a double cheeseburger in
comparison or something now?
Not.
Until this comes out.
But this is the most expensive
hamburger they've ever made.
It cost $9. $9.
Just for the burger.
Really.
Yes.
Son of a bitch, I'm in.
You're in.
Take my money.
Take my money.
Well, Oh well.
Over $9 for the burger alone in
many markets.
It features a new sauce.
Yeah, tangy mustard.
A new bun like the Whopper,
right?
Toasted and topped with poppy
and sesame seeds.
Double.
This is the big and tasty.
A new topping.
Crispy onions.
Oh that sounds good right?
I like crispy onions. 3 slices
of new cheese of white cheddar.
I like where this is heading.
It sounds good, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Following the Quarter Pounder
would also be the second burger
on the McDonald's menu.
Be made to order with fresh
beef.
Nice.
Did you see that the CEO took a
bite of this on Instagram or on
social media?
Yes, that is actually the news
story I had to take this
information from.
That, and he hardly took a bite
of it.
He did a taste test and didn't
take a bite.
Yeah, he's like, he's like, wait
a second, They could have.
They should have got somebody
else.
If Oprah.
Take a bigger bite.
He's probably going.
I don't need this food.
Right, I don't know.
I eat all naturally organic.
Right, I only eat Wagyu beef.
Well, we're savages.
We'll take well, the big arch is
naturally organic.
We'll take that chemically
enhanced food all day.
Right.
You eat ice cream sandwiches.
Get a video for us.
I do, I sent it to you.
Don't play the audio 'cause it's
music and we'll get in trouble.
It's broken.
My phone's broke.
I can't watch it.
Screenshot.
So kind of in regards to our, I
just said don't play it with
audio.
I'm turning it down.
Imagine if you turned it down
before you turned it on.
Well.
I like Jury and other people.
So So here's what's really funny
in Dubai, there was a lot of
like shrapnel and.
Oh yeah, you can't play to Dubai
either.
The airport's closed, too.
Yeah.
So people that were in hotels
left the hotel rooms, bad
reviews.
I do not recommend a rocket hit
our room.
No air defense, so I thought
this was absolutely hilarious.
Mine's blurry.
Yours is blurry.
Is yours blurry, Palmer?
I don't know, it's really small.
It could just be me at this
point, I don't know.
I have my contacts in.
I do not recommend a rugged hit
my room, no air defense, rugged
debris in front of us, Stay
safe.
But Sheikh Abdullah, somebody,
whatever, who owns a hotel, is
giving everybody free rooms.
Who is stuck there?
That's great.
Yes.
Well, yeah, who the Hell's going
to?
Pay the government, he said.
The government's going to pay
them back.
They have a ton of money.
Yeah, Dubai's just got money on
the streets over there, Yeah.
So, yeah, I thought that was
great.
Can you imagine?
Can you imagine staying at a
hotel and then like a missile
striking it and like or, or just
shrapnel being around you or
whatever?
And you know what?
One star.
One star, no air defense.
Zero air defense at this hotel.
What's kind of scary is these.
Prices.
They should be defending us.
I.
Was going to bring this up
earlier but the the naval base
that they shot was Bahrain.
You weren't there.
You didn't get on a boat.
No, but that's where all the new
guys usually go from school.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
So it's probably a lot of, you
know, unexperienced sailors
there.
Did we hear there was any
casualties?
Yes.
There was casualties, yeah. 11
people died and then we just,
they hit us.
So then we just liberated the
shit out of them right?
Like no problem dude.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
There you go.
Oh, you guys are all going to be
in the same room?
No problem, hold my beer.
How does that work with
everything?
You know what we should do?
We should bomb American base.
Great idea.
Oh, Diggy, Diggy, you're a
crazy.
Shoot back.
They never shoot back.
We got a crazy ass president now
that shoots everybody.
Right.
How did?
They think this was going to
work well for them.
I like the fact that, you know,
it's he's just pelting people
off.
Maduro got him.
Right.
Well, there's a long list, and
it hasn't been served in a
while.
So where they going?
He won't come get to us.
You see what he.
Just you see what he just did?
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
King John Moon's calling.
Like, we cool.
Yeah, like.
Don't come get me, Don't come.
I say a lot of dumb stuff,
Donald.
I'm really sorry, President.
Trump so sorry.
I you know, I like you.
You're my friend now.
Well, we we calmed.
Him.
I finished you a Facebook
request for a friend, right?
We calmed him down a long time
ago with the worm.
The Worm.
There's Rodman.
There's Roman.
That was Robin went over and
made made nice.
Yeah, let's smooth things.
Over.
They don't hear from him
anymore.
Right.
They're getting their hair color
together and stuff, you know?
They play basketball.
Yeah, talk about Carmen
together.
Maybe you'll get me one of those
big arches.
We have no McDonald's here.
Yeah, we don't.
We don't even have food here.
Enough said.
Let me call Michael.
Call.
Michael, OK.
He pitched some kids.
Ass.
Oh, come on.
Dude.
Alright, cigar news, here we go.
What the Segway?
Principal Cigars releases
engagement.
Principals.
Oh, it's a cigar.
Yes, I released a cigar called
the Engagement.
OK.
After a soft launch in 2025,
Principal's newest land
engagement is now getting a full
release.
You OK over there?
He, no, he lied to us about the
news headline in the beginning.
Why 'cause you said somebody was
getting engaged?
There's a hook.
They are.
They're buying engagement.
Yeah, play the cigar.
It's a five and three quarter
Corona that uses the Nicaraguan
wrapper and binder, while the
filler contains a pair of
Nicaraguan leaves.
Oh, just a couple leaves.
Couple leaves and a pair of
Dominican leaves, so they have
two pair.
Oh, it's a hybrid.
Company isn't disclosing what it
is we know stay.
Have you heard of Principal
Cigars before?
Nope.
You're right over there.
What was their?
First blend.
No idea.
The Ring.
I don't know the ring the.
Wow.
Right then, then they go to the
engagement.
This is the girlfriend, right?
This is the.
The first one is the
relationship the.
Relationship.
It'd be more believable if you
call it the baby.
Are they going to make one
afterwards called like the
wedding and then the divorce and
it's going to be half the size?
I'm not Privy to all these
people's.
The divorce and it's they lost
half their stuff.
Right, it's a it's a little
short.
Yeah, Perfecto.
It's a.
It's a 5 by 50, right?
They started off with a.
Production is limited to 8000
cigars, with 2000 used for soft
launch.
Just soft.
Soft.
Do a handful of retailers, oh,
we getting them.
No, of course not.
I have no idea who these people
are.
We're not going to meet hand.
How much is a cigar?
For the engagement, yes,
engagements are always
expensive.
It's $18.00.
That's a good.
That's a good number.
We're all 16. $13.
Wow, I went the right way.
Box of 12 cigars for 260O260 for
a bundle of 20.
Oh, they're in bundles.
Well, no, they have a box too
box.
A box of 12 is 156 or you can
get a bundle of 20 for 260.
The principles.
Do you think we're going to run
into some of these people at BCA
Like you were not nice to me.
You heard of me now?
I think the I think the words
are.
Going to be 3 years.
Nobody.
Ever.
He's still at a thing.
That's a good point.
I still don't know who you are.
I got a picture with Luciano
though, the year we were making
fun of him every day.
Yeah.
Yes, I take picture with you.
Yeah, but he's caught on now.
Someone one picture please.
Well, that's why he stopped
coming out with new factories
and stuff 'cause we caught on to
him, he caught on to us.
You think we're the deciding
factor there?
Yeah, he's like, I know, Tell
nobody no more.
These guys always tell on me.
They always say how I know dude
thing good.
Do you know she's been out of
the news lately?
He put up a big long post the
other day.
On the same day, Espinoza senior
passed.
Oh yeah.
His grandmother passed.
I don't mean to laugh, but it's
awful coincidental.
The same day Espinoza.
Slid that in.
Well, I mean, sorry for your
loss.
That's never.
Yeah, that's not very good.
So.
He he didn't call her
grandmother, called her
something else, Abuela, like my
Nana or something.
Banana.
Nanu or something I don't.
Nanu.
Oh, that's Nanu.
Nanu.
All right, Tablet Calera SLU
turns to pre insolvency amid the
Chen XI drama.
They're trying to dissolve the
company but keep all the stuff.
Oh, bankruptcy.
We know not what he was doing.
We have no idea.
We're done.
We're done, Spain, if you would
please just let us you know,
dissolve company.
Don't take our money, keep
assets, don't take our stuff.
Our stuff is fine.
OK, I have to read this because
it's very technical, OK?
Yeah, all.
Right.
The Madrid based company that is
business partners with the Cuban
government in Habanos, SA has
filed for pre solvency
proceedings, but the company
says it's not running out of
money.
We have plenty of money.
Everything's fine.
Everything's fine.
It's the latest chapter in the
Chen XI drama.
He was supposedly he's still in.
Oh, here he is.
He was arrested in Cambodia and
deported to China, where he is
believed to still be in custody.
We believe this.
We don't know for.
Sure, we don't know for sure.
Chinese are very mad that we're
bombing Iran.
Right.
Yeah, well, Chen XI is loose
now.
How do you like them apples?
We turned him loose.
Hide your crypto wallets.
The Eastern Caribbean Supreme
Court is overseeing the
liquidation of various
businesses and the British
Virgin Islands owned by Chen XI.
You know, years ago I had a bank
account, the British Virgin
Islands.
Is it still there?
No, my father and I had one.
It's still there.
No, it's not that court has
appointed Interpath, a
restructuring firm with presence
in the Bridge of Virgin Islands,
to oversee the process.
He's got hidden investments.
Amongst the many complications
with this process is the
entities like Simply Advanced
Limited are sanctioned by the US
and British governments, so they
wanna dissolve the companies
that they have the sanctions
against.
Right, yeah 'cause they need to
free up their stuff.
They.
Need them.
We need to get the stuff.
Right.
We want our stuff back.
Well, they have it, they just
can't use it.
Hey.
Listen, you'll you know you,
you're in trouble.
There's nothing you can do.
No, no, we have plenty of money.
There's nothing about the money.
Yeah, this is like, this is like
the little dog holding the
coffee cup and everything's
burning around them, right?
I'm fine, I'm fine, everything's
fine.
The liquidity constraints reduce
demand, product issues or
business performances.
It's not the money.
It's not the money.
It's not about the money.
They.
Keep saying that over and over.
They normally when they say that
it's about the money.
Well, the hard part about this
whole situation is, yeah, they
can.
They can get everything back.
They have to buy it.
No, no, we already own it.
Attorney Phil.
No, how it works is they create
a new company and then they have
to sell everything at fair
market value to the other
company.
You know how Spanish law works.
You understand Spanish law.
No, I just know how dissolving
the company works.
Moving to another company, but
this sounds like they have a lot
of assets and that's a lot of
money, so they got to find
somebody who has a lot of money
because Chen Z's money is not
usable.
They don't have.
They don't want his money.
Well, of course not.
Your money's no good here.
It might no good here.
Your cryptocurrencies.
That's on hold.
The report also alludes to
Turmeric Capital, a private
equity fund that is believed to
be tied to one of the ruling
families in the UAE.
Is that the king?
Is that the king?
I mean, what are the ruling
families in the UAEI?
Mean I don't know.
Sounds like that's the one.
There's a lot of royalty over
there.
You can identify them, too.
Yeah, they're easy to spot.
I see.
Really.
Doesn't Ron Epstein's list?
Nope.
Jesus.
You know, I don't think they're
on a list.
Maybe.
Maybe.
I don't think so.
I don't think they're on a list,
buddy.
OK, so.
Oh, it says the least corporate
structure would be for Turmeric
to buy Chenzi steak, so they
have to buy what he owns.
To take it out of the equation,
right?
There it is.
But then they would be giving,
yeah, they'd be giving him
money.
Yeah, where's it?
Yeah, where's that money go?
We take that too.
It goes in holding.
He gets nothing still.
You get nothing.
The objective in Spain is to
achieve, through interpath a DEF
a definitive separation from Z
and obtain from the US Office of
Foreign Assets Control the
corresponding license to
facilitate the restoration of
the company's banking operations
to full Normandy.
But we don't need the money.
We don't need.
It's not about the money.
Not about the money, but we
would like to get the money.
But if you could give us some
money, we could put it.
With the name of this company L
Confidential.
L not about the money.
Specifically mentions the
importance of having Asia Unit
Corporation, one of the shell
companies, drop below 50% of
ownership in the short term and
less than 20% in the medium term
to get around the sanctions
opposed by the American and
British governments.
So we got it around 50% in the
long term, 20% in the short term
and then come up 15% in the
after term.
Once we survive all those.
Yeah, and hold the God that
everybody gives us back our
share.
It sounds like they have a plan.
It was a flow chart but I didn't
get that.
There was a flow chart.
There was a big chart.
Oh my goodness.
So they know what they're doing.
They're white boy and.
There was a lot going on.
Somebody's getting paid.
Somebody's getting, but it's not
about the money.
But it's not about the money.
It's never about the money.
It's about getting their
ownership of the company back
from Chen XI, who apparently
owned all the money.
Right and cause, and that's why
it's not about the money, 'cause
he had the money, right and now
he's just on a beach somewhere.
In China.
In China.
Do they have beaches?
Yeah, they have beaches.
They're up north though.
They're cold.
Not all your own.
There's a Sunshine City that's
very pretty.
Yeah.
OK.
All right.
Moving on.
Half Wheel apparently did a lot
of talking.
They said to Half Wheel they're
moving 10s of millions of guards
to AJ Fernandez and the
Placencia family.
Yeah, that's obvious.
We kind of tapped on that
briefly.
The majority of it's going to AJ
and then 20 or 30% of it's going
to Placencia.
Right.
None of the employees have been
accused of wrongdoing.
Are they moving the employees or
are they just getting rid of
those guys?
No.
The employees are in a different
country.
They're in the Dominican
Republic, they're moving
production of the cigars
somewhere else.
Yeah, to AJ and to Placencia.
To only AJ.
So AJ fires those people.
Again, no.
Those people are staying in the
Dominican Republic.
There's a factory there that
they can't open.
You think they're just putting
him on a plane and and flying
him out to Nicaragua?
I don't.
Know I I will take them all in,
he says.
Bring him here.
Sounds like there's a lot of
cigars that need to be made.
Can the people at that factory
someone?
Needs to clean my coral reef.
Can he, can he sustain that type
of production?
Yeah, I'm sure he can.
Now here's the catch.
If he's very busy, what happens?
Oh, their cigars are last.
What's that?
Their cigars are last.
No, Altadus's cigars will not be
last.
He charges more.
Well, for one, yeah, they pay a
premium from what I understand.
Number 2 is I think that what
happens is a lot of the other
guys with smaller brands that
makes up with AJ, he's like, I
don't have time.
Oh, so it disperses?
Well then, then what happens?
They need to find someplace
else.
If he can't sustain the
production then he needs they
need to find someplace else to
make their cigars.
So they go back to the Dominican
Republic and all those people
make their.
And then they open up a cigar
company.
I know where factory in
Dominican Republic is no one.
Choosing to remember basketball,
the Lakers moved to so and so
where there is no lake all.
Right Black Works Studio
Boondock returns for 2020. 6.
Boondocks.
Boondocks you.
Could call it that.
That's what it's called, Yeah.
Oh, because the boondocks
Saints.
Yeah.
You don't put Saints at the end.
No, no.
But there is a a cartoon a
famous cartoon called Boondocks
called Boondocks as an SI.
Don't know if that's 20.
Percent you have to have the
rights to to in in every Ave.
Right, that would just be You
couldn't make a cartoon called
Boondocks.
They could make a sneaker called
Boondocks.
You know more, but there's
definitely a fine line there
between like tobacco products
and other things, you know?
So for the first time since
2019, boxes of the Black Work
Studio Boondock will be heading
to stores.
We're not getting those either,
no.
I don't think you've ever had a
black works.
We had, we had Black Label
Trading Company here for a
while.
Yeah, it didn't sell well.
It was too strong a cigar for
our market.
Is that what you think?
That's why I thought it was too
strong for the people.
I don't think that's the case.
No, no.
And why didn't you?
Why do you think it didn't work?
I think that realistically you
pick your horses.
This is not one of our horses.
It's it's not like it's a brand
that if people came in to ask
and say, hey, I really want you
to carry black works, then
perfect, we would carry it.
But we're not going to invest
time and energy in developing
that brand in the store when
we're developing other brands in
the store.
Gotcha.
Bosagna Romacraft Foundation
Espinoza You know, after you
kind of have two or three
horses, everything else is less.
Can't have too many horses.
No, and it just sits.
It's part of the company's Black
Works Studio.
Sub brand Boondock uses a
Pennsylvania broad leaf wrapper
over a Nicaraguan Habana binder
and fillers from Connecticut,
Nicaragua and Pennsylvania.
It's.
A lot of Pennsylvania A.
Lot of Pennsylvania the same
blend as the previous three full
releases for the line.
The cigars are made of the
company's Fabrica Ova Negra
factory, Nicaragua.
She actually.
What did you call?
It fabrica ova negra.
OK, that's better.
He just said it quickly.
I said it quickly.
Obey Negra.
'Cause I had a thought and I
didn't want to go away.
Do you still?
Have it?
They just paid 10% tariffs on
their last shipment that went
out.
Only 10%.
Only 10%.
OK, that's good.
The Boondock is one of our most
asked about limited releases
from Black Work Studios, said
the company in a press release.
This will be the first full
release since 2019.
'Cause they got rails last PCA?
What?
Do you mean rail?
They got caught up with a
shipment and they had to pay a.
Premium.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Yeah, I remember.
Oh God that sucks.
And a similar story, Posanja's
New Sumatra cigar would be
called the Dunebach.
Oh really?
The Dunebach.
The Dunebach.
Sounds like something that
Hanson.
Coming out very soon made
perfect.
Now it's time for the industry's
favorite game.
You slow down.
Sometimes I feel like I'm
talking to myself.
I'm making comments over here
and you're just blowing through
everything.
Yeah, I started singing the
song.
Yeah.
Did you start singing?
OK, What song you want to say?
No, it's too late now.
Yeah, you just messed up the
vibe.
Messed up the vibe.
What's the score?
Wow, that now?
Now there's the energy, huh?
That's what's happened.
Just left the room.
Well, he's just ignored us this
whole time we were talking.
I'm like, oh really?
I'm like, OK, well screw us in
our opinions and it actually
being a podcast, you just go
ahead and rattle off because
because we didn't laugh at his
Dune Bach comments.
You know what?
You didn't find that funny?
Screw you guys.
Yeah, what's the score?
Here we go fellas, right now.
Oh, oh, time's perfect.
Now it's our time with the
score.
You ready?
First cigar.
No, no, you have to start from
the intro 'cause I have to do
the cameras, so that way Cha
Ching or whoever's on the comic
and see me do the buttons, Cha.
Ching.
Who's Cha Ching?
I don't know his name.
That your Chinese friend.
Whatever his name was this and I
do the buttons well.
Kratos 889.
Yeah, Kratos.
To Ching.
Now it's time for the industry's
favorite game.
Yeah.
What's the score?
Today's First Cigar, February
27th, 2026.
Brooks Whittington Cigars, JC
Newman, limited Edition
Nicaragua Review.
The Jose Gaspar, 2026.
Oh my Lord, didn't we smoke
this?
Yes we did.
That's why I chose. 87. 70.
Cigar Reviews a Jose Gaspar 2026
country of origins Nicaragua
factory JC Newman pensa rapper
Ecuadorian binder Nicaraguan
filler nicaraguan linked 6 by 54
It's round and they smoked 3
cigars. 86. 70.
The flavor profile shows
impressive depth and evolution,
transitioning from creamy oak
and charred meat in the 1st 3rd
to a rich sourdough bread and
coffee bean corn in the 2nd and
final thirds.
The growing fudge to chocolate
sweetness and balanced red
pepper retro hell add complexity
without overpowering the
experience.
I didn't get any of that when we
smoked it.
Yeah.
Fudgie.
I'd like to take Fudgie.
That'd be nice. 88. 70.
Clue #2 Construction is largely
dependable.
Despite minor burn corrections,
a cigar remains firm with no
soft spots.
Draws stay within normal limits
and overall performance supports
the medium to full flavor,
delivering without strength,
overwhelming the smoker.
The terminology How?
How's the construction?
Dependable Black Rock.
I'm a Stick 88.
Brooks might be a little
delusional in this one.
But yeah, did we smoke the same
cigar?
Yeah, 70.
Third clue The persistent bitter
espresso note, especially
noticeable early on and
strongest in the final cigar,
along with the occasional tart
vegetable lemongrass finish,
detracts slightly from an over
from an otherwise rich and
cohesive flavor profile. 86.
There was only two words out of
this whole thing so far that I
agree with Bitter and tart.
Like, but he, but he made it
sound lovely.
Yeah, it's it's a lovely
bitterness.
It was.
I'm sticking at 70.
Final thought, JC Newman is one
of those companies that I will
try any of its new releases, so
I was looking forward to seeing
what the Jose Gaspar 2026
brought to the table.
However, while not giving me the
most complex of profiles, the
blend is well balanced and quite
enjoyable, exhibiting flavors of
charred meat, creamy cedar, and
toasted bread combined with some
rich fudge sweetness and a zesty
red pepper note on the retro
Hill finish that is obvious
without being overwhelming at
any point.
Even with some minor burner
shoes, I enjoyed the Jose Gaspar
2026.
And those looking for a
balanced, flavorful cigar under
$10 should, too. 87 I.
Mean I'm going to have to go up
because this is ridiculous.
To what, 72 Like a rock?
Sounds like this was a tattoo
wahe for it.
I said nothing but good things.
Unbelievable.
As much as it hurts me to say
this, I'm going to go 88.
Right on the nose 88.
Nail it.
Nail it.
Nail it.
Went the right way.
Should have stayed there.
Should have stayed.
I thought I was going a little
bit lower and my strategy was to
get him to commit.
Yeah, should have stayed 88.
All right, Sam, second cigar
April 26th 20.
Oh did you guys want to chit
chat a little or anything before
I go to the next?
One.
Oh yeah, I won.
No, we're good.
You sure it's nice when you're
engaging with this?
I just want to have conversation
with you.
OK, so you're good.
I can move on.
Still wanting to just move
Mullis down when we're trying to
talk.
Oh, are you?
Are you ready?
I, I think I'm ready.
Ready, Boo.
No, no I'm not.
Ready.
Bill's not ready.
No, me and me and Mikey have
more talking with.
Them OK go.
Ahead, I won.
Yeah.
He's ready.
I want you to realize that.
You backed right into it
because.
It happens so infrequently he.
Puts a reminder it's a new week,
baby.
All right, let's review how you
won.
You panicked.
Bought at 88.
I did.
I was at 87.
I did.
There wasn't logic behind your
number.
It was just strategy of oh man,
I guess it's higher than what I
think, so I'm going to pucker up
my butt cheeks here and take 88.
Well, I compare.
He was comparing it to a tattoo.
Why is what it sounded like
unbelievable?
He didn't.
Well, that's the way you guys
play.
You're not really trying to get
the score, you're just trying to
beat the other one.
Well, it depends upon where you
ask we If you're first, you're
trying to get as close as you
can and make that person screw
up.
Right.
Yeah, the well, we know that
most of these cigars are in the
80s, so unless they start like,
really pelting it, then we know
it's way lower or Charlie gives
him a 99, you know?
All right.
It was only one of those, and we
already did that one.
Yeah, to have it off.
All right, next Cigar, April

It's a petite perfecto.
They smoked 3 jalapenos.
Jalapeno.
Jalapeno. 84.
On Mystique 89, oh boy, are we
keeping.
You.
What did he say?
84 OH.
Clue #1 construction and burn
performance are strong overall
despite the tight resistance
early due to the nipple foot wow
nipple.
The draw opens up nicely, smoke
production improves quickly and
the cigar burns above average
with no relights or major touch
UPS required.
Is it called a nipple foot or a
closed foot?
Nipple, foot, nipple.
Is that the correct terminology?
They bring it to the point.
Looks like a nipple.
I got to tell you if a half who
calls it.
That's probably the correct
terminology.
You have ash all over your
shirt.
How long has it been there?
85 I don't know, I just.
He won.
Yeah, yeah.
I want you to look clean for the
for the lawsuit.
Now you gonna tell me 89 for
all?
The footage of your face as he
won. 89.
Clue #2 Cigar delivers on its
theme with a unique and
intriguing jalapeno like Tingle
that weaves in and out of the
profile.
Combined with pepper, earth,
faint chocolate and even a minty
retro hail in the final third,
it creates A distinctive and
memorable smoking experience.
Can you not interrupt me while
I'm talking please?
It's kind of rude.
I'm just, I'm just adding to
your conversation.
No, you're interrupting.
No, I didn't stop you from
talking.
Because I talked over you.
Jalapeno.
People can't understand me.
They've been complaining.
Have they?
Yes.
Who complained?
Why do you want to know who?
So you can intimidate them and
make them stop?
Yes, I'm not telling.
'Cause there's nobody.
Yes, there are several.
Several.
No, there isn't.
Several.
Many.
There's many, many, many.
There's no one.
Yes.

I don't know who Ching Jang is.
OK, go ahead.
He didn't read anything yet.
Yes, I did.
You read something.
Yeah, I interrupted the whole
time.
Didn't you?
Oh, man, yeah.
I don't see you couldn't
understand.
'Cause you can't hear you.
What we're talking about
strategy.
I'm going to stay at 85. 89.
Third clue.
I'm reading another clue.
This is a clue.
Bam.
Attention, attention, clue.
Reading a clue.
There we go.
The second third introduces some
less pleasant notes,
particularly a dirtier
earthiness along with chalky and
slightly metallic flavors that
momentary throw the Do you want
to read this?
No.
Then please be quiet.
Still gives you the tingle
though.
All.
Right, I'll be that momentarily
throw the profile off balance
and dulls the overall enjoyment.
85. 87.
Final thought, with no notes as
to what to expect about the
Viaje Jalapeno other than that
is offered the ultimate balance
of heat and flavor, I'm
generally pretty pleased with
what the cigar had to deliver.
I'm still not sure how much
actual jalapeno flavor I got
from the cigar, but there is
definitely plenty of pepper and
a good bit of palate tingling
flavors, so I'm comfortable
saying the cigar lives up to its
billing.
While the package in and
packaging in creative may not
win for everyone, the cigar
itself should end up being a
decent palate pleaser for those
looking for some something with
a good bit of distinct kick in a
small format.
Phil.
Thank you for not speaking as I.
I close my eyes the whole time
for you.
You're probably sleeping. 86.
It's a good number 87.
You went the wrong way.
Yeah, 83.
