ACHP Episode 506 Fox, Steak and Potatoes and Military Secrets

Transcript

Welcome to a Cigar Hustlers

podcast, episode 506.

I'm Mike Palmer, your host and

on today's show we have Phil.

I need to get out of here early.

I have a snack scheduled.

Mcguffey.

Hello.

Apparently he pre snack teacher

and my Co host.

Mikey, you don't help him, you

assist him in his vision.

Stephan Kevich.

You don't help him, you assist

him in his vision.

I.

Thought you'd like that.

I don't know what that means.

You have a vision, you don't.

I don't help you reach your

vision, I assist you in the

vision.

I don't know if I metaphorically

look at it like that way.

You.

Know I got to come up with

something new every day.

Here's what I can tell you.

It's like if you're going to

treat you really try and analyze

it metaphorically.

It's like I saw this big rock

and then you know that the rock,

if you bring it all the way over

there, it's worth $1,000,000,

right?

Right.

So you take a rope around the

rock and you start pulling the

rock and you might move it a

little bit by yourself, but you

can't make it all the way over

there.

And then somebody sees that

you're moving the rock.

I got you.

Such as yourself.

Let him finish.

And you're like, hey, you're

like, what are you doing?

Like, I'm pulling this rock and

we get it over there.

We get paid.

Oh, well, let me help, right?

And then, you know, a couple of

people come in and then you all

start pulling the rock and it

slowly starts to move, right?

Some people, they were pulling

the rock with you.

They realized this sucks.

This is a lot of work.

This is hard.

We're not, we're not there yet.

We're not close to there yet,

right?

And they get off the rope and

they just kind of step away,

right?

So it isn't, I don't really look

at it as like, this is my

vision.

And it's like, hey, just throw

that around.

Just.

Go.

It's beeping.

I'm trying to turn it all the

way off.

Go.

Ahead and check it.

I'm checking.

It it's like, hey, let's, let's

here's here's what, here's what

I know, here's what I believe

would happen when we get this

over there.

And you know, people join in

because they see something that

could be really cool and be a

part of it.

And people leave when they

realize how incredibly

difficult.

People fall off along the way.

Yeah, bound to happen.

Worse than that, I think that

some people pull off and they

just stand there and watch you

pull it and then.

Pull the other way.

No, the no, I wasn't going to

say pull the other way.

I would say, or what they'll do

is they'll they'll sit on the

rock.

Oh, I'm like, come on, let's go

pull.

Me too.

I want to get a piece of this.

It's like, no, no, no, dude, it

doesn't work that way.

I think that's more of the the

metaphor for if we're going

deep.

So if we move the rock over to

the corner of the room, we're

getting paid, I'll be right

back.

It's it's like a.

It's going to push.

It's, it's a metaphor.

It's it's kind of a metaphor,

right?

And I think that, you know,

what's funny is like, I always

think about that in life because

you know, when I see somebody

else pulling their own rock, I'm

like, oh, let me, let me help

you with that, right?

And doesn't mean that it's going

to financially benefit me or

not, But if I'm like, Hey,

you're a good dude, you're

struggling, you're doing

everything you got like here,

let me provide some aid.

Like I think that's how you need

to live your life.

So 2 minutes in deep thoughts

it's.

Just supposed to be a funny

little quip.

I.

Apologize and then here it is.

Well, it's a deep Thursday.

It's not my vision.

Just help or something.

Whatever you said.

I'm like, wait a second.

You don't help you, you assist

in your vision.

I guess.

Sure.

All right.

Never mind smoking an Espinoza

today.

Oh.

On today's show, Michael J Fox

is alive.

meaning.

I gave away all the secrets and

I didn't even get a free book

that in cigars, Fuente loses the

fight over the X.

Oh, I saw that.

I I want to make sure that we're

covered.

Sure, you won't have enough

tenders.

You know, so it's not going to

be, it probably will be slightly

above 50.

It'll probably be like some 55

will be consumed, you know?

It's not like you won't eat

them.

Yeah, it's whatever.

Chicken tenders.

Yeah, exactly so.

We're getting 45 tenders

tomorrow. 451040. 510.

No, we'll be here with the Rock.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Pulling.

We'll be pulling that rock

waiting on the chicken.

Right.

Yum Yum Yum.

Are you doing the comments now

or did you finish?

I was gonna aggressively attack

Phil there, but I let it go.

I know you were.

I let it go.

Thank you Did I'll ask this

later.

OK, getting into some comments,

let's go Ben Rowland.

Ben Rowland is obviously very

intelligent.

Well, he's been to that part of

the.

World, He's super smart.

He's a very smart man, he is.

Yes, I think that Ben needs to

just come on the show 1 day.

He's welcome.

Anytime barefoot.

Well, OK, well, whatever.

Yeah, he can't, because he's

plowing the fields.

He's plowing the fields, he

said.

Oh, God.

Oh, your wife.

Is that your wife?

This is my mother.

Oh, and your watch is by the

video board.

Perfect, He said.

Qatar is pronounced cutter.

Cutter Yeah, OK.

Ben, thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm going to say right now, if

we're, if we're correcting Qatar

at this point, there's, there is

far more worse words that Palmer

always announces that isn't

even, they're not even remotely

close.

And just for the record, you're

about 3 episodes behind.

So speed it up, will you?

I got something from Mctavish

yesterday and I don't even know

what he's talking about at this

point so I just don't even say

anything.

He's 60 episodes behind I've.

No, he there, he, he messaged

you.

Yeah, he commented on something

I I missed said or something I

didn't even.

I just.

He's going to have to time stamp

these things with a link episode

number or something, right?

Episode so and so at 20 minutes.

So at least we could go go look

and understand what the hell

he's talking about.

It's a good idea when he sees

this in 60 weeks they'll start.

Yeah, yeah.

So next year we'll be fine.

Next year at CW6383 says I was a

Marine.

I keep my hair short, but Palmer

isn't wrong either. touché, Mr.

Magoomer.

Yeah, well, you know.

And thank you for your service.

Yeah, and, and his hair was

messed up, bro.

It is what it is.

You know, he looked like he had

like this little Peacock thing

over here on the side.

You know, he didn't.

He shouldn't have attacked you.

I don't think that that was

right.

You were just looking out for

him.

Oh, and then a positive Palmer's

hair is much better today.

It was the hat.

Is that was that hat yesterday?

It's still a shot.

CW also wrote If Phil is king,

who's the jester?

When did we say he was king?

Am I king?

King of the self self.

Preservation.

Ginger.

Yeah.

And last one here.

Is red print.

Right, the Unicorn.

See Epicurean Smoke does.

He's very nice because he he

marks it.

Yeah, he gives you the time.

Oh, let me see what he's talking

about.

He says this is imaging but

imagining a real emperor has no

close scenario with Bing Bong

having access to a personal

assistant.

Yes yeah it's I feel bad for the

for the.

Any any update on the personal

assistance?

Yeah, How's that going?

I hired 1.

Yeah.

Is it a man or a woman?

It's a It could be.

Well, that's not funny.

It's a legit question.

You're in construction.

It could be a man.

Yeah, what's wrong with the man?

Male personal assistant.

I feel that in the construction,

maybe any world but any

industry, I feel like women just

do the paperwork better.

Like they're more organized.

They're more on top of things.

Like men, like, forget a lot of

stuff.

Maybe he's concerned he'll hit

on his wife.

No, I think that's fair.

I think both of those statements

are fair.

Wow.

Well, can.

Can we have her on the show 1

day?

Male assistant comes in and say

I have all the papers organized.

I don't know what your husband's

up to.

Right.

You know, calling me for

Cheetos.

He starts, he starts like

chipping away at him, right?

Like, doesn't he frustrate you?

You know, just.

Doesn't treat you nice, I hear

the way he talks to you when he.

Comes in here, yeah, you know.

You deserve better.

You deserve better.

I I'll listen to you, right?

I'll listen.

All of a sudden you see the

desk.

Tell me everything that he's

done.

The desks merge together, get a

little closer and like, what's

going on?

Oh, I just need.

I just need Earl close to me.

Earl I need.

Earl closer.

We're working good together.

We've turned the desk to face

each other.

Now, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The only good.

Well, it has to be like, you

know, a guy that's a little

decrepit because he would never

approve of, you know, someone

hot guy.

Yeah, yeah, No, no, too

handsome, right?

So.

But Earl figures it out, right?

Like knows what.

She just wants.

Somebody to listen and listen.

Yeah, she sees somebody to

listen.

Yeah, she's stressed out because

she's so pregnant.

Hold the baby while you make

those phone calls.

It'll be.

Fun.

I'll take care of that.

I'll.

Take care of that.

But he's in there like in

Cheetos office when he's in the.

Conference room, Earl, Where are

my Doritos?

I paid $75.00 for this bag.

Wow.

Wow.

Yeah, wow.

Attack Phil Thursday here.

We are.

No, no, no.

I let you.

I let.

Epicarian Smoke.

I I let I let you off the hook

on the first one.

I let you off the hook, buddy.

What is the What is the new

young lady's name?

Don't give her last name

obviously, just the first.

Name he doesn't.

Rosio Rosio.

Rosio.

Rosio, you can't even say your

name.

It's it's spelled exactly how it

sounds, but because she's

Spanish, like it rolls off her

tongue, it doesn't roll off her

roll.

She is the Rosia.

Yeah, Rosalita.

No, Rosita.

You're calling her Rose?

CIO.

Rose Yimachito.

No, I told her I might have to

come up with a name for her.

I was like, this is gonna be too

difficult for me.

If this one doesn't work out,

can we record the interviews?

That'd be nice.

And bring up a camera.

Interviews aren't really

interesting to be honest.

Yeah, there's not a whole lot of

interview.

You want to work here.

Good.

Thank you.

No.

When do you start?

The chips are over there.

Are you able to bring those to

me?

OK.

Well, one of the questions I ask

is you.

Know the difference between Cool

Ranch and Spicy Nacho?

One of the things I tell, I'm

like, yeah, you're going to do

many different, different things

here, you know, like Tia asked

for a lot of stuff, but you

know, when I come to the door,

if I need some type of food or.

Did you just say that?

Yeah, you do say that, but.

There's a lot of different.

Yeah.

And I'm like, this is, you know,

I have a DJ business.

You might have to make me a

shirt.

They're like, oh, make.

Your shirt.

They have their own shirt

presses.

I just.

Yeah, dude, no, I have my own.

Shirt.

Oh yeah.

At the at midway through that

interview, I'm like, I'm not

doing this job.

I'm either a lying all the way

through like Oh yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, I'll see you

tomorrow.

Never come back right or be like

or just look at him and, and be

like, are you serious?

Really.

Like DJ and food?

I gotta be your yes server for

the man baby, yeah?

Yes, yeah.

Every once in a while I'm gonna

be smoking a cigar.

If you could just go like this,

right?

So I'm gonna yell ash like an

ash.

Come in that I would.

I would prefer that.

So wait, so your wife does the

majority of the interview?

I'm assuming with all the you

got to help do permits and this

type of paperwork, payroll blah

blah blah.

I do the phone screens and then

she does the initial part of the

interview.

And then you walk in, plop down,

put your feet up.

On your face.

I'm here to fuck shit up.

Oh my God.

Sometimes, you know, I need my

diaper.

Changed.

Sometimes every once in a while.

Every once in a while I'm going

to poop myself.

Wow.

And when that?

Occurs, I do not.

Poop myself, I'm going to yell

for you.

I expect briefs nicely folded,

ready to go.

I like the powder and the

lotion.

Both.

Yeah, I need to be cleaned.

Well, they have to be military

folded first.

Of all military, of course.

Military, yeah.

Oh yeah.

So it does happen.

Perfect.

Navy military folded.

So Navy military folded.

Yeah, Navy's different than

Army.

Army they like, they just like

the roller shit up and throw it

in the bag.

Yeah, yeah, Navy's, you know,

nice creases, you get the lines,

they call it something

different.

But you, I can't say that on the

air.

OK.

Yeah, please don't.

Don't say that.

Yeah, please don't.

You've already offended enough

of our listeners.

Not a huge number.

Yeah, my dude.

For everyone that speaks out,

there's a hundred more.

Oh, that could be true.

No, that is possible.

We do have like a religious 12

to 15 that watch it every

morning as soon as it goes up.

And we love you guys.

Between like 5:00 and 9:00

there's like 15 of them every

single.

Day, we appreciate your support.

Yes.

Yes, yes.

And I miss Ken Miller already.

I need him to come back and hang

out for a little bit.

Ken Miller.

Yeah.

He popped in all the way down

the great smoke.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He has like an hour drive, he

says.

Yeah.

I mean, come on.

Yeah, it's a work.

Yeah, it's not an hour drive

from here.

No, no, no, no.

OK.

Ready to go?

Yep.

I think so.

All right, Michael.

J Fox is alive and doing well.

He died.

He was supposedly dying.

CNN, supposedly CNN has all

these stories pre made for when

certain celebrities die.

OK, I don't know if that's all

celebrities, but they have

certain celebrities.

Well, he apparently is one of

them.

Somebody hit the button and

release the Michael J Fox has

died.

Here's a retrospective of his

career.

That's creepy.

Right.

Or that they have the stories

that they would actually release

one.

Well, what's creepy is they

don't do it more often.

So, well, I mean, this can't be

the only one they have for them.

And they get, I mean, I would

imagine everybody up to a point

and they go, OK, do the death

story just in case.

So we get it first.

What are the odds that so and so

is going to die this year?

Could be they could have a death

pool.

Feel like a top 25?

Right.

Something.

Wait, what's your question,

Phil?

You do editing right, Palmer,

Yes.

And Mikey, you do editing too,

right?

I do.

So in order to put something in

production, it's a little bit

more than just hitting just a

button, right?

That's correct.

It's probably on a tape or

something.

If you go by what how they do it

in the movies, you know, they

have stories premade and they're

all on some type of cassette or

whatever it is they use.

Slide it in the machine and hit

and go.

Well, there's no cassettes.

Yeah, I think that's over.

I'm sure, I'm sure it's it.

It's not that anymore.

It's some type of electronic

storage or something.

Yeah.

Yeah, but they had to go into a

folder, move it over.

You know, there's a little bit

more to it than just boop.

Oh.

Oh damn.

Michael J Fox is dead.

Remembering Mr. Fox.

Right.

Maybe it was a story about a

different Michael or a different

Fox or something they were

looking for and somebody hit

this one.

Who knows how it happens, but

the fact is it did.

It feels like to me that

somebody's going to lose their

job.

Fake news.

Oh, could be is my point.

Obviously somebody effed up.

Yes, yeah.

Was this on Newsmax or CNN?

CNN OH, it was ACNN story.

I saw an Instagram Reel today,

this morning where there's a

couple of construction workers

up on a roof and they're trying

to get rid of this chimney.

And it said he thought it was a

good idea just to push it off.

And so, so this guy just pushes

this chimney and it goes right

into the roof and you know, the

wood absorbs it and stuff.

Not even like the edge of the

house or.

Something No, no, yes, smack

down the center of the house.

Mr. Williams, you never gonna

believe this.

You need new roof.

After looking further, we

realized that the wood is very

rotten.

Roof is bad too.

May have been termites.

You're not possibly big termite.

By termite I mean heavy bricks.

Every, every brick.

I think that guy will also be

looking for a job, Yeah.

He'll also be looking for a new

job, too.

Maybe he could apply for the CNN

job and they could switch.

There you go.

Yeah, yeah.

Nothing will change.

Nothing will change.

Nothing will change, right?

So apparently he was appearing

at Paley Fest that same day.

So everybody saw that he was on

stage.

They were quite surprised he

wasn't dead.

This kind of happened with Paul

Walker too, right?

Every there's like everybody's

on social media.

Paul Walker died.

Paul Walker.

Fake death stories all the time,

but nothing to this.

I mean, then it's just I think

one person goes, hey, put up

that somebody died.

Well, he just did an interview

on.

He was on somebody's show, like

Conan or whoever.

Michael J Fox, Yeah, he's doing

the third season of a show on

Apple Tvi believe it is.

Yeah, he's on a show.

Yeah, he's coming back.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's on the third season.

Harrison Ford's in it, the guy

from.

Oh, shrinking.

Is that the one where Harrison

Ford has Parkinson?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They meet at A at a clinic or

something.

I saw the clip.

I've talked about this with you.

This is a great.

Show.

I didn't know that was the show.

You had Mission Shriek and that

was 1.

Of the Harrison Ford.

I've seen it.

I'm almost done.

I have one more episode of Peaky

Wanders.

I'm going to move to Shrinking.

Are you going to go to the movie

or are you just going to skip

it?

No, I'm going to go to the

movie.

Should I skip it?

The Movie.

Yeah, no, I got to see it

because.

I got to see it.

Yeah, I think, I think, I think

you should skip it.

You think so?

Let's leave it where it lies.

Definitely miss it.

Shrinking's next.

And then I got to watch Land

Man.

Shrinking's good.

You know what?

We haven't watched it lately,

dude.

I mean just we don't watch much

of anything.

Like a lot of things going on.

Oh yeah, it's.

Not anything good out right now

it's.

Shrinking the pit.

Yeah, but I don't have any of

those.

But the pits new season, has it

started or is it about to start?

It's about to end.

Oh yeah, I've seen a lot of news

about it lately.

I thought maybe it was.

Catch up on the show.

Getting ready to come back.

You know, it's a really good one

that if you really want to watch

it and it has ridiculous amount

of seasons, Chicago PD, that's a

good one.

We watch that all the time,

Yeah, but that's the thing that

you don't have to really keep up

on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You could just watch the.

Episode The episodes aren't

connected.

Sometimes they are.

Well, they are, yeah.

Every once in a while, they'll

open up with one, and then

they'll circle back to it at the

end of the season, like, oh, OK.

I just don't like the, you know,

that guy always burns through

characters, though, so you can't

really get attached.

Like if Kevin leaves Chicago PD,

right?

I'm done.

Which one's Kevin?

I don't watch the show but I'm.

Familiar with it?

He's the big black guy.

Yeah.

OK.

And he's got the most in depth

stories.

He's like you're rooting from

like, yeah, kick his ass, you

know, like the whole thing.

Yeah, he's got the, he's got

like the best storyline.

But then they started to eek in

like, uh oh, what if he goes off

the show?

I'm like, oh God, then I got to

do all these other people that I

don't really care about.

I'm not invested with them.

The only one you're invested

with is Hoyt.

And it seems like Hoyt's not

really on the show that much.

That's the head guy.

Yeah, I think he has health

issues, so I think he only makes

appearances.

That because of his voice.

Maybe, I don't know.

Sounds like it could be

something wrong with his throat

or something.

Yeah, he looks.

He looks kind of.

Old old.

Well, you're getting old.

Yeah, He actually looks like an

intelligence officer that's

exhausted all the time.

Yeah, Maybe.

Yeah.

And then, you know, kind of fits

the bill.

Yeah.

Do you guys watch Madison?

Any of that.

No.

What's that?

The new Yellowstone.

Madison.

I think it's called Madison.

Is it with?

Is it with RIP?

No, no, that one hadn't started.

Yet then, then Yellowstone

hasn't started.

Well, there's Yellowstone

Marshall on right now, which is,

and we've talked about that,

right, But Madison is another

Montana show connected to.

It's in the same universe, but

none of the same characters.

Yeah, I'm going to ask Kurt

Russell.

Oh, it's like the generic

version of Walmart.

It's just another.

I think the only connection is

they're both in Montana.

Here's how.

Here's how I know I'm either a

going to watch this or B just

skip.

What network is it on?

Paramount.

OK, that changes things.

Maybe I consider this Kurt

Russell.

Kinda.

Like which?

They advertise that Kurt Russell

was in it and they show him all

the time, but he died in episode

1.

So it's like, it's like Tom

Hardy and Peaky Blinders, but he

just shows up like out of

nowhere, like.

No, they do.

They do like a flashback or a

memory, and then you see Kurt

Russell.

Yeah, that's not good.

Right.

That was what I was going to

say.

I was going to.

It's no good.

Don't watch, it's not good.

No, I mean, I like Kurt Russell,

so I was going to watch it for

Kurt Russell, but then, you

know, for his episode, I'm like,

he's dead.

It's 45 minutes in.

So it hasn't been a good job.

His he had this place in Montana

by river, him and his brother

where they would go fishing and

hang out and stuff.

The wife never went, the rich

people from New York.

So now she's sort of

transitioning to find the life

that she should have had with

him type of thing.

Oh yeah, I'm out.

Yeah.

See they messed that up.

If you make another Kurt Russell

thing, you should make like a

Captain Ron.

So there's no rattlesnake in an

igloo that we just throw at

somebody and it bites a person?

No, no.

No, there wasn't.

There was a snake, but nobody

got bit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm not interested, no.

Yeah, no.

You almost duped me.

It's.

Not good.

And Marshall's not good either.

I even though I keep watching

him because there's nothing else

on Sunday nights, right?

It's not good either.

Yeah, when?

When this was on CBS.

Casey cannot act.

Well, that's on Paramount too,

wouldn't it?

Oh, I watch it on Paramount.

Look, I don't have to tell you.

But yeah, the new one with RIP

is starting at the end of the

it's kind of like 2 weeks.

Or so, yeah.

Beth and RIP were they made

Yellowstone?

Yeah.

And it looks like the same type

of show they're just in in Texas

now.

Yeah.

Perfect.

Like I think, isn't that where

Taylor Sheridan lives?

Does he live in Texas?

He bought the four sixes.

Yeah, so that's where he's at,

right?

We'll just film here.

Went up to the four sixes show

that they the quads that they

started doing a couple episodes

where.

They started Jimmy Lives.

They started to hint towards it.

Well, they did a couple

episodes, did they?

Yeah, they did, but but Jimmy's

just not a catch.

Well I thought the pink haired

girl was was ending up there

too, I read.

I'm sure it'll tie in with RIP

and Beth.

Yeah, it does somehow.

Well, I mean that way you can

write off the four sixes.

Right, what was her name?

Squeaker or something?

Squeaker.

The the pink haired.

Girl.

The.

Texan, right?

They can't speak English I.

Was like she.

Just called me a skunk.

Yeah, I don't remember her name.

Grumbler.

Grumbler.

Grumbler.

All right, yeah, there's our TV

update for Thursday.

So Michael J Fox Alive 6. 105 O

6 All right, Hot pursuit takes

on a new meaning and affidavit.

Deputies say they responded to

an apartment complex along Grove

St. on Tuesday.

Just right in the beginning,

receive a call for help.

OK, a man and a woman start

fighting.

OK, He Yanks off her wig.

Uh oh.

Punches her and then grabs the

taters and steak cooking on the

stove and throws grease in her

face.

Oh damn.

Grabs her car keys and makes a

run for it.

OK.

I'm in trouble.

And he is, he is.

Lady chases him outside.

Yeah.

He starts to drive away in her

car.

She jumps on the back of the

car, on the trunk, tries to hold

on.

Wow, what a movie this is.

Yeah, this is like a movie.

So then he's hitting the brakes,

trying to get her to fall off,

speeding up, hitting off.

She eventually falls off and

scrapes up her back.

Jason Bourne.

The police arrived, they take

her statement.

She has, you know, burns on her

face, Rd. rash on her back.

They eventually catch the guy

and he is, hold on, let's see

what he's being charged with.

John Trace Stevens is the man's

name.

OK, I'm trying to rapidly

accelerate out of the parking

lot, blah blah blah.

Being a speeding away, he caused

great bodily harm and possible

permanent disfigurement to the

victim, investigators wrote,

according to the BCS.

OS is a Florida story, by the

way.

Stevens was later arrested and

now faces charges of aggravated

assault, aggravated battery and

two counts of Grand Theft of a

motor vehicle.

He said her car.

Yeah, he was in.

He's being held without bond.

That sounds reasonable to me.

Yeah, I guess so.

You don't need him coming out

and going back at her.

So he's with Grady, Judge,

That's Brevard counter.

Oh, he's in trouble.

Oh, he's in trouble, Yeah.

Grady don't play.

Grady, don't play.

No Grady.

We hold up a picture of him next

week on his press release.

This man is a problem this.

Man is a problem.

If you see him, shoot him.

But you're not going to see him

because he's behind bars.

You ever had steak and potato

oil thrown in your face?

You seen this man?

That was it.

When they're talking about him

stealing, you know that you're

reading the article, stealing

the car and driving away.

I'm like, where did the grease?

Where'd the hot grease come

from?

How did he get a hold of hot

grease?

So the fight started in the.

Apartment in the kitchen.

Right near the kitchen.

Like they snatched off her wig

and smacked.

Her think about the thought

process though.

Why didn't you make this rare?

Think about like, yeah, you

know, you, you pull the wig

because you're trying to yank

her hair, I guess.

And or yeah, you're probably

trying to get a hold of her or

something.

Yeah, Oh, it's Freak.

And then you punch her, right?

And then somewhere along the

lines, you're like, you know

what?

I'm going to throw this grease,

right?

Like how did you get there?

Not even, I mean, depending on

how she was I I imagine a

skillet or something, but you

might just think he's throwing

potatoes and steak at her.

You know, just something he's

grabbing a hold of, not thinking

I'm going to cover her in hot

grease.

I don't think that.

Was it's just a byproduct?

I don't think.

That I think he was mad because

his whole relationship was a lie

when he ate that wig off.

You're.

A dude.

Oh my God, no, I don't think

bad, no.

So everybody knows you fight

after dinner, you don't fight

before dinner.

Right.

You need to, you need all that

protein.

Yeah, carbohydrate.

Especially about to go into a

pokey right, You want to make

sure that you're.

Welcome.

You're going to end up in jail.

Yeah, he's hungry.

Yeah, exactly.

Bad news.

Yeah, he went in there hungry.

He's getting a belagna sandwich

right now.

Probably not even that surprise

sandwich.

Surprise.

Still a sandwich.

Great.

He walks in.

I call this worms, whatever he

feeds.

OK, that's a good one.

What else you got?

All right, former Fort Bragg

employee charged with leaking

classified military information

to a journalist.

Oh, this is not a Tom Cruise

movie.

It's not as good though, it's

not as exciting.

Help with Tom Cruise So

apparently Courtney P Williams,

40, from an Army veteran and

former Fort Bragg employee over

a three-year period, was leaking

information to a journalist.

OK.

She, she held top secret

sensitive compartment

information access.

She for some reason, she was

sending all sorts of information

to this person.

She was assigned to a special

military unit with access to

elite operational Intel.

So she leaked classified

military tactics information and

plans to a journalist over

several years.

OK, taking it.

She got arrested taking into

Federal Bureau of Investigations

on Tuesday because the

journalist used all the

information she sent him and

wrote a book.

Damn.

Now I don't know what she

thought he was doing with the

information they don't say in

the article.

Yeah.

But there was no money that

changed hands.

So I mean, it seems like most of

the exchange was either over.

They have hundreds of minutes of

phone calls, text messages.

Oh, they're dating.

But, well, there's no mention of

that.

You think that would have been

mentioned?

It seems like a long distance

type thing because everything is

text phone calls.

She sent a thumb drive to him.

There were no like personal

meetings where they exchanged

information.

Oh, seduction.

Do you think that she she found

this man attractive?

Yeah, maybe.

How do you make the initial

contact to start getting the

information?

Facebook dated.

Yeah, yeah.

Swipey, Swipey.

Yeah, you message, you say I'll

listen to you.

I.

Like him being.

What's probably.

What's just what's probably even

worse is that this is probably

like a premeditated thing, Like

he probably like knew who this

person was, maybe needed

information, put himself in

front of her.

Is the book still able to come

out because the book is out?

The book is out the.

Book is out and part of it has

been copied and published in a a

foreign type website called

Politico.

Really.

Whoa.

Hold on, I'm trying to think if

I have the name of the book

here.

Wow.

I know, I know.

A couple days ago, Trump came

out and said that he was going

to start prosecuting people who

are releasing information and

the media sources because

somebody leaked out all the

names of all the people that

went in and saved that pilot.

What?

Oh, really?

That just happened.

I I watch a video, listen I I

have the complete story for how

he was saved.

How they got him?

How they got him out.

The journalist identified her as

a source in the book and the

article, just so he hung her out

to dry.

Wow, baited her for years,

right?

The book is called The Fort

Bragg Cartel.

Fort Bragg Cartel?

Oh, this sounds good.

Yeah, it was.

And it was also published in

Politico's magazine last August

under the title My Life Became a

Living Hell, One Woman's Career

in Delta Force, the Army's most

elite unit, featuring Williams

testimonials alleging sexual

harassment while serving.

So that's the main theme of the

book in this.

Gotcha thing is the forward

where he understand we breaks

down the fact that he catfished

this woman for years in order to

get there right?

That's what you think, right?

Yeah, she gave me all this

information without even really

trying her.

I told her I loved her and she

just spilled the beans.

She sent documents and

everything.

Allegedly.

No, no, it's been proven they

have.

No, the catfishing part.

Oh yeah, the catfishing part,

yeah.

No, it's been proven.

No, no, no, they've.

Got her, She's in.

Jail.

I don't know.

She's in jail.

So he's not in jail.

Yeah, they are not pressing

charges at the moment against

the author of the book, which

seems odd.

They they probably will.

Yeah.

Because that's like, what do

they call that?

Is that collusion?

That's not collusion.

Think, think.

What is it?

What you call a military.

Man, because.

If you don't get.

Accessory take the. 75

listeners, tell us what?

It is accessory to conspiracy.

No, it's accessory to something

I'm.

Sure, accessory to something.

Yeah, whatever.

Espionage accessory

accessorizing your arms.

There's probably so many charges

they could probably throw

against them it's not even

funny.

Oh yeah.

They're just looking for the

right one.

Yeah, which one do we want to

pick?

What's the one they kill you

for?

Benny Arnold.

But it's Arnold treason.

Treason.

Thank you.

Could they get her for treason?

I mean based if if anybody is

killed or anything based off the

information she gave I.

Mean that she didn't give it to

a foreign military or anything.

Well, it is on a foreign site

though.

I like that we look to Phil for

expert advice on this.

Closest military thing we have

at the moment.

There used to be.

I still got cassettes over here

from the movies I watch so.

When I when I was serving there

used to be a website that was

like only for because of what

you would call it was big.

Seals.

No.

Scooby-doo.

No, no.

The other side, ISIS, that was

when the whole ISIS thing was

going down.

Yeah.

And they got like real big.

And there was a website that

there was like military members

going on.

They were releasing information

to them all.

To ISIS.

Oh yeah, like a dark web thing,

Yeah.

It was a dark web thing.

So, you know, we, we had to have

a whole, we had a briefing every

month with the captain.

We all went into the theater and

we'd all sit down.

He's like, all right, take your,

take your phones out.

You have to do this with your

settings, with your privacy on

your Facebook, because Facebook

was getting big around that

time.

It was like 2009.

He's like, OK, and then make

sure you don't talk to this

group.

This group, if anybody you know,

has some type of weird writing,

you know, when they send you

messages, don't respond.

They were always doing stuff

like this, always briefing.

But because people were

releasing information.

So like, I remember there was

one guy on our base that

released some information and,

you know, we had, we went and

arrested them.

And after that, I don't know

what happened to them.

I know some other people came

and grabbed them.

It was probably FBI or some, you

know, some bigger.

Now they're in Cuba.

It's Quantico, not Quantico.

Quantico in Cuba.

What's the place?

Guantanamo.

Bay, Thank you.

Yeah, they take them there

because there's no.

Rules.

Where's that at?

It's.

In Cuba.

Cuba.

No rules there.

No rules there.

It's not US soil.

Well, Guantanamo Bay is.

Not really.

OK.

So she sent a text message to

her mother.

I might actually get arrested

and I don't even get a free copy

of the book.

Oh wow, she.

Wrote adding the legal basis As

for disclosing classified

information.

So I mean, she knew what she was

doing was wrong, but she did it

anyway.

Oh yeah, for.

Three years, 22 to 25 S for

three years.

She's sending this dude in for

me.

I have no idea what he's doing

with it, but here's some secret

plans.

I just trust him.

I just trust him so much.

His eyes are so.

Dreamy.

Yeah, I believe him.

He just looks so honest.

I mean, he's a journalist.

It's not like he's going to use

this to write anything.

What does he do?

He doesn't.

Yeah.

He's not a big journalist.

Private, where are you going

with that information?

Nothing, Lieutenant.

I'll be right back.

Right.

Just have to make some copies.

Yeah, I got to go have coffee.

OK, All right, this.

Dumb lady.

Don't say allegedly.

She's been caught and they

proved she did it.

She's stupid.

I'm sorry, I was just witness.

Allegedly, it's your opinion.

It's.

My opinion the opinions of

Palmer are his own and not the

express information of the.

Only Palmer with the good hair

though.

Palmer with the bad hair.

Now I have to look at my hair

every morning to worry about

what it looks.

Like you think you're ever going

to shave your hair off?

Shave my head?

Yeah.

No, not unless my hair goes

away.

Why would I shave my head?

I kept it pretty short there for

a while.

Goes away.

Falls out, goes away.

It's not going anywhere.

He's saying that it's falling

away.

Yeah, I know.

It's been the same link for the

last 20.

It's not thinning.

It's been the same way for the

last 20 years.

Has it?

Yes, soft.

It's very it's like Baby Soft

coming from the guy with

feathers on his face.

Yeah.

You picked them out.

All right, you got a video?

Yes, I saw another video today

but I couldn't figure out how.

To get it, I would love for you

to give it to me so I could

pretend that I got it and I gave

it to you and then.

Watch I did that yesterday and

you didn't understand how it

worked and I had to edit that

out of the.

Go I sent you guys 7 videos.

Yeah we don't.

I don't even watch your videos.

Wow.

How does he do with the lol?

You just.

Sit back in lol he didn't even

watch it.

No, I was driving.

I didn't watch any of them like

what 11?

I look at the time stamp ago,

it's 11/30 12:00.

Why is he sending stuff?

So this is video footage from I

believe a live webcam on the

Artemis mission.

And this this Nutella jar is

just floating in space.

It just floats right by the.

Why won't it open it?

Just floats right by the camera.

Nice.

This is brought to you by

Nutella.

That was good advertisement for

them.

Right.

Was it really on the ship or did

somebody?

No, this is this is legit.

It looks like they're fixing the

toilet or something, I don't

know, trying.

To look how small that area is

they're living in.

Yeah, it's pretty tight.

That is ridiculous.

Crazy.

Who farted?

Who farted?

Well, there's only four of us

here, so.

Do you think a fart smells in

space?

Yes, yeah, and a spacecraft.

But it has to like, rise to your

nose.

And it's never going.

To go away.

Well, OK.

It doesn't dissipate.

I don't.

Know what we're doing here?

What's going on?

I don't need.

It I was just wondering, I was

just thinking about it.

It's one of my many questions.

Here's the one thing.

Here's the one thing I know.

What day is it on the Artemis

mission?

What day are we at 5-6?

Something like.

That Yeah.

So they're on their way back.

Yeah, it's made the turn.

I'm I'm going to say at this

point, if you were an astronaut

on that ship, that Nutella jar

would be completely empty you.

Think they only have the one.

No.

Every once in when I get a

little treat.

So first of all, I just don't

see how that's a a stocked item

on the on the spacecraft.

Yeah, we got the, we got the

carrots, we've got the

cucumbers.

Well, like like I said, it's a

treat, doesn't have to be

cooked.

One of them likes it.

So yeah, somebody likes it.

Maybe.

Maybe everybody gets to request

one thing.

Did they smuggle it on like

contraband?

Oh.

I think they're pretty tight

with the inspections and see.

What you Yeah, yeah.

How tight?

How tight?

Not tight enough for a toilet?

Well in the in the movie Apollo

didn't the Kevin Bacon character

sneak stuff on in his pockets

and stuff so he could say it was

been to space and sell it or

give it away when he got back?

Really.

Something got loose or something

and it fucked up his.

Sorry, messed up his flight.

Oh, really?

Yeah, he brought in like little,

little key chains of rockets and

little rocks, this one.

Right.

That was in the movie.

I love it.

True.

I didn't remember him being like

a.

Kevin Bacon.

Flea market guy.

Not a flea.

Market, I mean, you know.

I've got key chains.

I've got.

Well, you know, I got a key

chain that's been to outer

space.

All from space.

Come, come by, come by.

Maybe he was given away to his

wife and kids or something.

Yeah, but I mean, he's given.

To his wife and kids.

Hey, can you give your wife a

key chain that's been in outer

space?

Yeah, sure.

Rosary, go get the key.

Chain get the key.

Chain Rosary.

I need to try this.

And stop with the cool red

cerritos.

I like Nacho cheese.

Yes, this is not OK.

It's just not we talked about.

I like how we're all talking an

accent though.

Well, you said she was Spanish.

That's how you speak.

That's how I speak.

Yeah, but you're speaking to

her, so she understands.

That's how you speak.

That's your Spanish?

Yeah.

Hello.

Does she speak Spanish?

Is that a plus?

Yeah, she speaks Spanish.

Yeah.

You haven't.

Absolutely A+.

Well, I mean, I've seen his

staff lately out around.

It's not, you know, it looks

like they all speak English, the

guys.

Who show up here?

Javi Javi speaks Spanish and

English.

Is that the guy with the beard?

Yeah, I like him.

He's very nice.

Now having come in and talk

smack about the boss.

Right do the lady, Yeah.

Oh, it's got Spanish sticks with

Spanish.

And cafe is more stupid though.

Spit in El nachos.

Spit in El spito in El nachos.

Spit in the Doritos.

Wow.

Get cool ranch.

She hates Cool Ranch.

Get let me see, how do you say

spit in the nachos?

Spit in Doritos.

Doritos, I guess would just be

Doritos, yeah.

Espape.

Don't worry, I tell her to get

you the nachos, it'll be fine.

In El cheese.

Nacho cheese Escooper in Los

Nachos.

Wow, we weren't too far off.

Escooper in Los.

Nachos.

I can't wait to see her.

Can't wait to see her.

You know, I'm going to go off to

her and say wow, Escoopier in El

scupe Los nachos.

OK, what were we talking about?

I don't even.

Remember who else?

Nutella.

Who cares?

Yeah.

All right.

On the cigar news, yay.

Quinte loses the Dab X trademark

appeal.

So Dab X, I'm assuming by the

name, is a company that does

dabs, which I believe is a wax

or some type of marijuana

product.

Yeah.

They have an X's part of their

logo, an X with hold on, hold

on.

Oh no.

Where'd you get this from

because I saw it on epicurean

smokes pace half.

Wheel.

I got 1/2 wheel.

I saw an Epicurean.

Today, the US Court of Appeals

for the Federal Circuit ruled

against Arturo Fuente in a trade

market dispute with a company

that sells DAB rigs.

For nearly five years, of cigar

company has been opposing

efforts by DAB XA company that

sells electronic dab rigs to

register a trademark.

The United States Patent A

Trademark Office granted DAB XA

trademark for the mark below,

which Fuente says infringed on

two of its trademarks.

I think to do the Fuente Opus X

brand.

While dab Riggs have cigar and

cigars are hardly the same

thing, trademarks and categorize

into different groups of

products.

Smoking and vaping products both

fall under the same category,

034.

That's a mistake.

That's not the category.

No, that shouldn't happen.

That they shouldn't be in the

same.

Correct.

Oh.

Sometimes companies will specify

that their marks will only

appear to certain segments which

the 034 category, though other

times the trademarks are applied

in four in a broad manner.

In this case, Vaporous

Technologies LLC, the owner of

Dab X, specified the mark would

apply to oral vaporizers only.

Just so you know, he sourced, he

said.

Source.

Half wheel at the bottom of it

as well.

Epicurious mom, Yeah.

So this dab guy is about to get

paid.

No, it's just.

No, he just gets to keep his

logo.

He's connects with two dots over

it or something.

And it took like 5 years, yeah.

Then this has been five years.

They've still been using it, but

now they lost.

He gets to oh, so Fuente doesn't

have to change this.

No, no, Fuente wanted them to

change theirs.

Right.

They didn't want them to be Opus

X dab rigs.

OK, you know, like when I looked

at this, I'm like, well, this is

dumb for initially.

However, as you kind of look

forward more and more in the

article and the dispute for the

trademark, I'm like, OK, that

makes sense.

Because again, if you're going

to categorize both of them in

the same thing, then hey, no,

right.

And the reality is the court

kind of just said, well, they're

two totally different things.

They're two totally.

So now you're like, right,

Right.

These are two completely

different things.

There should be a category for

for tobacco cigars, and then

there should be a category for

everything else.

They shouldn't be in.

They shouldn't be lumped under

the same trade, same trademark.

Oh.

The the court said Weber's mark

is a stick figure with two

diagonal lines over it, where

Toro Fuente is the letter X.

So they're not, they're not even

the same thing.

The two stick figures look like

an X, but they're really just

crossed the lines.

If I was the other organization,

I would have moved to try and

push for some separation.

Like, like these are two totally

different categories in life.

I don't understand why the the

USPTO keeps them in the same

realm.

Yeah, I don't know either.

You know what I mean?

This is this is a federal court.

It it got kicked up to federal.

It kicked up to Federal after

five years.

Oh.

My Lord, how much do you think

that this whole thing costed?

Lawsuits.

A whole bunch of a whole.

Bunch of money.

So the stick figure has no

pronunciation, unlike the letter

X.

The party's marked different in

sound also.

After the Trademark Trial and

Appeal Board denied the appeal,

Fuente took the next step, suing

in federal court.

A three judge panel upheld the

previous decision.

Curiously, the court agreed with

the board's decision that

Fuentes ex trademark may lack

stand alone recognition because

they are often used in

conjunction with other names.

There is some evidence that

Fuentes X marks may have

standalone sourcing recognition,

see, and then there's a bunch of

other things with it.

But there is also substantial

evidence that Fuente use of the

X mark has historically been

integrated into other marks or

displayed along other items.

So they never use the X by

itself.

That's what they're saying.

Didn't wasn't there MX-2 from

CIO?

Did they win or they lost?

I haven't heard how that worked

out, but yeah, there was one

there too.

But I mean, that was definite

rainbow X on their cigar.

That was a while ago.

I could understand.

It was last year I believe.

MX2MX2 is much older.

No.

But the lawsuit we talked about

last year, I believe, yeah.

I can understand like wasting

not wasting, but spending money

on court cases for your brand if

it looks close.

I just don't understand the

spending frivolously on stuff

that's not even close.

OK, well where's the line?

Right.

That.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Like I just don't understand it.

I listened.

Opus X is iconic.

It's a legacy.

If you walked up to a guy that

knew nothing about cigars, you

still got a chance that he would

say, Oh yeah, the Opus X.

Have you ever smoked Opus X?

Right.

So if you own that brand, then

you got to swing at everything

that you think is even

questionable.

Yeah, this one, I don't know,

let's it, it falls in the same

category as us.

They use the X.

We should probably challenge it,

right, Just in order to even if

you think that you may lose,

just to protect the integrity of

that brand, you know.

So I don't begrudge them for

doing this.

I think realistically they need

to be separated.

They they shouldn't be in the

same category at all.

I agree they should do a

separate category, but I don't

think if you showed them this

other X with two squiggly lines

above it, somebody's going to go

oh open sex.

Right, that's what I was getting

at.

Well, that's the argument that

ultimately won in the scenario,

right?

And I would, but I would say,

OK, yeah, you're right, you

know, but I would argue the

point as to should it belong in

our category.

No, because of the product it

is.

I don't believe it should

either.

It should be two separate.

Categories.

That's what I'm saying, but.

When they originally made all

these categories, they didn't

care.

They didn't.

Correct.

So upgrade it you're so if

you're going to regulate

something and you can and you

see that this doesn't make

sense, then fix it.

Like that's the problem, right?

The problem more often than not

is that you see regulation and

it doesn't make any sense.

So you either a walk it back and

unwind it completely or B define

it better.

Right.

So.

Like with tariffs, tariffs all

have codes, you know, put you in

different categories, right?

You could do, I mean like if you

have something you could, you

can be inventive and they don't

usually challenge you.

I don't understand what you're

saying.

OK, let's say like you make

window hardware.

OK, window hardware has a

category, right?

But if you list it as something

else, if you don't call it

window hardware, you might be

able to get into a category that

has a lower tariff even though

it is window.

Hardware.

OK, well I can tell you that

when you go and file a

trademark, you can file a

trademark in specific

categories.

Right.

Yeah, I filed trademarks.

Before, right?

So if I wanted to file a

trademark for key chains,

there's a, there's an actual

place for that, right?

Or it, it might not be the same

thing as apparel, right?

Those are two separate entities,

so.

Yeah, I don't know what the

category specific is for this

number, like is it consume

smokeable something or?

It's listed as smoke and vaping

we're we're always looped in

with the vaping.

People oh smoke and vaping.

This is where Sarah will have to

chime in.

Ben's wife, yes, and break it

down for.

Us.

Break it down for us.

Yes, yeah, because one of these

is not THC, but whatever you

want to call it, marijuana type.

Dab.

Yeah, the dab.

Dab.

Rig right?

They shouldn't be in the same

category, right?

At least in my.

Life.

So apparently cigars, vaping and

glass pipes and accessories.

Hookahs.

Yeah, they're probably

everything in there.

So just basically anything that

provides some type of smoke,

right?

Crack.

Right, I would like to get a

straight word from it correctly.

But yeah, you see the problem

with that, right?

Well, no, no, sure there's a

problem, right?

And that kind of brings you all

the way back to the simple

aspect of FDA when they tried to

regulate premium cigars.

What are we defining as premium

cigar?

Exactly what is a premium cigar?

Right, right.

Like we.

Need to know the water source at

the factory?

Yeah.

Well, what are you, what exactly

are you trying to regulate?

What's your, what's the issue

that you feel that needs to be

regulated?

Is it convenience store, you

know, infused cigars that are

being broken apart and used for

other things?

Is that what you're trying to

regulate?

Then what are you trying to go

for?

Doesn't even make it.

It's same with the UTL.

Well, it's, you know, we

consider it a, a wholesale where

it doesn't have to be tracked if

it's above this price point and

that's considered premium.

Like that's how you define.

That doesn't make any sense.

Well, and also to be flavored it

is has to be flavored like

something so like sweet jeans

aren't affected because.

Because they don't say chocolate

right right or blueberry right.

Well, that UTL thing, you could

just look at it and see that

it's just for money.

That's all that is.

The majority of things I believe

for taxation are for money.

It's kind of in that as a tax

right to take the money.

What are you saying regulator

like regulates not for money

regulators for I would think for

safety or health, you know

something like.

That that's supposed to be

right?

But they use that to get the

money.

Yeah.

Let's regulate, which really

means make somebody else pay me.

I think it do something.

Else I saw funny, some funny

TikTok about I don't even I

don't even know the amounts.

So look, I'm going to screw up

the amounts.

Was it last night?

It was last I saw it last night,

because when Phil's ticked off

and they weren't.

When you were not watching mine.

Yeah, when I was watching this,

you said that yours this

morning.

No.

No, it was like 11/30, 12:00

last night.

No, but do you shut me off until

the morning?

No, normally.

Normally I respond to

everything.

I must have saw that.

And I was like, wow, sorry.

So it was like, you know, ways

to solve the, the homeless with

the in California with the $25

billion or whatever the amount

was that was given out as like

give each homeless person

$150,000, build a home for each.

Like it went through this whole

list, build homes for each

individual or something like

that.

And I thought that was

hilarious, right?

Because you know, this money was

given for this and it was not

even close to solved.

No, because they need money for

their golf trips and jets.

Is that what it is?

Super expensive.

It's unrelated but you say

convenience store.

Maybe think about it.

I read an article What's the

number one rated convenience

store for customer service in

America right now?

Oh.

Bucky's.

That's a good gun, I'm going to

say. #5.

Wawa.

Number one.

Boom.

Really, Wawa?

Yeah, Bucky's is number 5.

I would think Bucky's would be

better than Wawa.

On their rating scale, No, it's

number.

Five It's too big of a place.

When you need help, you can't

find somebody.

Yeah, that is hard.

Yeah, places are always so.

Packed, you can find the mascot.

I try my best to steer clear of

any of these things.

Convenience.

I like to go into Bucky's I.

Don't even want a nice.

Little 5 minute break from

driving and the bathrooms are

always clean and get a.

Snack.

I don't even.

Jen's treats are like Disney

World.

Does he?

Yeah.

He's like, I'm going to Bucky's

today.

I'm like what?

When I went open to Daytona, we

made a day trip about to see it

and had lunch.

We sat on the back of the car.

We opened up with a hatch on her

car.

She had a hatchback at the time

and we sat there and ate our BBQ

sandwiches.

Wow.

Oh, we've never been.

Let's go.

To I can't get a parking spot

there.

We're going to go to the picture

show.

Not get a parking space at

Bucky's.

I just, yeah.

That's what I'm saying.

I couldn't find an empty gas

pump, right?

I just, yeah, 75 of those.

Well, I just park at the 'cause

I park at the diesel by the deaf

fuel, I just park out there.

All right, Black Label Trading

Company is adding a trio of

toros.

Oh, Black Label Trading Company

has announced that three of its

lines will be getting a new Toro

vitola, each a regular

production line extension.

Interestingly, they aren't

exactly the same size Toros.

The three new cigars are Black

label trading company

Deliverance Porcelain Toro, a 6

by 50, Black work studio

Rorschach Toro 6 by 48 Toro and

the black work studio Rorschach

Sumatra Toro.

Also a 6 by 48 was the first

one, 6 by 46 by 56 by 48 and

then another 6 by 40.

Blend wise, porcelain uses,

well, we don't, I don't know.

There's three.

We don't need to know the blends

for each one.

It's whatever.

The regular cigars, same thing.

I'm excited to add these new

vitolas to the core line, said

James Brown.

Not the godfather of soul.

Different James Brown.

The boot.

The boot father of the swearing

the.

Shoe James Boot Brown the shoe.

Father.

Yes, owner of the brands in a

press release.

As a brand committed to

continuous evolution and

innovation, we strive to bring

fresh experiences to our

customers.

That's cool.

I hope they don't get whacked

with some surprise tariff this

year.

PCA.

That'd be terrible.

You know we.

Just shipped in all the new

toros we got to pay extra

$75,000.

Hello, we're Uncle Sam.

We're here to collect.

Tyler's working on something

with them too.

Yes, that is his next cigar he's

coming out with.

You think Tyler's going to make

one with everybody?

No, no, no.

Tyler's going to.

Tyler's going to make a few with

some some different companies

that he likes and.

Think he settles on one.

No.

Why?

Well, like he makes me make

cigars with these multiple

factories.

He goes, you know, I really like

blah.

I'm going to make all my cigars

now with them.

I don't think so.

I think because, you know, I

think it's like, I don't know,

I'm trying to use a good

analogy.

It's like if you want to make a

good steak, you go to the place

that makes a good steak, right?

If you want to make a good

pizza, you have a pizza place.

Right.

So he keeps making him cigars.

You think he ever settles down

and does like a Coraline type

thing?

Like this one's going to be

available all the time, not just

these one and done's.

You know what kind of commitment

that takes?

That's tough.

That's tough.

Yeah.

You know, I think realistically

this these are good learning

experiences for Tyler, the way

that he kind of such a.

Good way to get into it.

The way that he's kind of going

about it, and I think that he's

learning about characters of

individuals and how operations

are ran and what's kind of

beneficial for him as well as

the other parties involved.

And I think that if he, if he

made a core, there's he's got

too much going on to commit to

that at this point.

Yeah, so.

I do like the variety

cheesecake.

He likes the variety cheesecake.

No, I do what?

I don't know.

We're talking about food, so.

Oh, you like different

cheesecakes?

Yeah, I like the standard

cheesecake.

Really.

Maybe a fruit topping?

You put strawberries or

cherries.

I can go either way.

Oh, OK, blueberries too.

Oh, you're Russian?

Russian.

Yeah, blueberries.

Oh my Lord.

Blueberries on cheesecake.

It's not good.

Oh yes, it is.

All right here, the Red

Headlines League of Bravado's

new Connecticut River Valley

Selection Sampler.

Wow, wow.

And whose sampler, coming from

my friends at Drew Estate,

It started late.

Palmer was just reading about

his new cigar coming out.

OK, what do you?

Got Drew State.

Freedom of dollars.

How many cigars is in it?

You just got to guess now at

this point because.

We're losing.

I said how many in the story and

then I said each name of each

one.

There, if there's five, I'm

going to go with 70 bucks if

there's 10.

Now you just got to pick a

number.

Oh, 120.

To be fair, Phil, I wasn't

paying attention either.

OK, 120 bucks.

I'm going to say 160. $95.

You win.

Yeah, I win.

Get the spark.

Sparkler.

Oh, that's right, You don't have

those.

That's Sparkler.

Here they go.

Oh, now they list his name is

Jonathan Sand.

That's not right.

Yeah, he.

Changed OH.

That's nice.

He didn't change it.

It's always what it was,

apparently.

He went back government name.

Yeah, there's there's a quote by

Jonathan Sand, Co, founder of

Drew State, and a press release.

The price point is absolutely

perfect.

Oh, no, no, Jonathan Sand voice.

No, you guys aren't paying.

Attention.

I don't even.

I don't even I'm paying.

You got me locked in when he

said there was a quote from

Jonathan Sand.

Sorry, because I wanted to see

it.

I.

Don't even.

Know you're not doing it?

Nope.

Come on.

You guys weren't paying

attention, then you talked a

bunch of yourselves about how

you're not paying attention.

Time for the industry's favorite

game.

Is it tired?

This is not time.

Yes.

Might have time too.

Outstanding construction from

start to finish.

Quick, even light, excellent

draw after the cut and a mostly

consistent burn that never

required touch ups.

Smoke output was heavy and

satisfying the entire way.

T Money just commented.

First of all Palmer, I sent you

5, not dozens.

Second, I didn't know you were

going to say it on the show

because all you did was laugh at

an image.

I sent it to Mikey because he

engages and appreciates my

comedic input.

You just made the list.

I think he.

Only sent me two.

You said you said he sends me

dozens.

You over exaggerated.

Huh.

Well, artistic license maybe you

should do when you're in the

entertainment.

Maybe you should have more than

more than just a simple lol.

Yeah, exactly all.

Right.

Maybe you should show some

appreciation of team money.

I'm off the list now.

He's one of our best supporters

He has my personal.

He's a big believer in Postina.

He named his dog Voytek.

Hey, that's really funny.

I appreciate you something.

Send him flowers.

I want you to send him flowers.

Daisies send.

Him some.

Daisies.

Send him some daisies.

Not send him flowers.

Yes, he said.

You made roses.

Right, he said.

You made the list.

Yeah, no, I'm on the list, Yeah.

You're on many lists.

Yeah, I want everybody

definitely on Keanu's list.

I found his wallet, he loves me

now.

And there's a list and now what

did you look through it?

I had to see whose list, whose

wallet it was, yeah.

So just open it.

So you saw the list, I saw the

people to on a live, that's

what.

That piece of paper was his

Said yeah, the first one said

Palmer.

Second one said Palmer.

Third one, said Mike Palmer.

No, I crossed my name off.

I wrote yours.

Oh perfect.

Thank God.

Yeah.

Expedite this process, will you?

Did you guys give scores for

First, no, he has to give his.

88. 85.

Clue #2 flavor profile is

complex and evolves nicely.

Starts with creamy hay and

peanuts, Transitions into cedar,

leather and espresso with a

standout vanilla sweetness and

balanced white pepper on the

retro hill adding depth. 89 Get

this ready. 85.

Overall strength is on the

lighter side, spends most of the

experience in the mild range and

only creeps into medium at the

very end, which may not satisfy

smokers looking into a fuller

bodied cigar. 8986.

Final thought, I've always said

that Connecticut wrapped

Connecticut wrapped blends are

one of the toughest to get

right, especially in today's

cigar market.

Make it too mild and becomes a

boring mess.

Make it too strong and it will

overwhelm some of the nuances

that a lighter blend brings to

the table.

And I said that the Crux walks

the line nicely with a great

creamy profile that includes

lemongrass and peanuts along

with some nice white pepper and

vanilla bean sweetness packaged

with enough body and strength to

keep things interesting.

In addition, the construction

was easily good enough, I did

not have to worry about the

entire smoke.

While it is not the best cigar

that Crux has to offer, this

would be the Limitata PB5, the

Epicurean Smoke Salamone.

It's something for just about

everyone.

Wow, it's not the best cigar,

but it's for everyone. 90.

Really.

Oh, 89.

You went the wrong way.

Really. 91 hit the sprinklers.

Yes, they're not working.

No one warmed them up.

Oh, they were warmed up.

Oh, they're off.

They did turn off.

Oh, you messed it up.

We're not paying for.

Those So once again folks, there

will be no sparklers kick.

Them, kick them, shake them up

something.

Heat.

Heat.

What's it say?

It says heat.

They've been on for over 67

minutes.

They probably turned off after a

while.

They probably shut off.

Overheated.

If you want to hang out, we can

make a go and then I'll cut it

in.

OK, separate video.

Wow, really?

We're going to do that?

Or I.

Could cut out yesterday's and

put it in.

You wear the same shirt, nobody

will know.

Yeah.

So we're not buying them, we

just need one good shot of you

with.

How long is that the heat up?

I don't know.

They're not mine.

Greg, your sparklers don't work.

Where's that pirate technics

guy?

I.

Think the best thing I did for

you is pick these up instead of

you taking these anything.

Well, I was a little skeptical

when I saw him at his house.

Yeah, a little shady, he.

Got He had to keep shaking them

and stuff.

I was like.

You got really got to shake

them.

Yeah, he always tells me.

He always tells me I'm doing it

wrong.

Like there's three buttons on

the remote, Greg.

Making noise now.

They're about to blow up.

Oh, there we go.

He's dead.

Iranians.

Iranians send them the sparkler

machine.

This is where they started.

We get them now.

Very sad.

OK.

Anything else?

So, well, there was a let's talk

about the war for a minute.

They have.

They did the two week ceasefire

so everybody could get their

list together of what they want

to not keep the war.

Going right.

So that's what everybody's

working on.

That's why we were saying

yesterday, why give them two

weeks?

Just bomb them now.

Didn't Israel, but Israel hit

Lebanon OR something as well?

Yeah.

There's something going on with

somebody else now.

There's no sparks.

Up, up, up.

Nothing. 11 is kind of a little,

you know, underwhelming.

Hold on, hold on, said.

You got to hit them or

something, right?

Now you got to shake them.

Shake.

Them up, shake them up.

Shake it.

Shake it like some.

Stuff gets stuck, he said.

Like these things are a pain in

the ass.

Drag.

Sometimes we get stuck.

Sometimes you got to shake them

up.

Nope.

Maybe they're out of stuff now.

Yeah, put some paper in it.

Pour gasoline in one of them.

Dump one of the ashtrays in it

you.

Think they're out of sparklers?

He said we would never use up

the stuff he put in it, but.

Well, he doesn't have to.

Eventually, yeah.

And here we.

Are I'm thinking the rubber kept

hole is where you put the stuff?

Yeah.

So I mean you want to dump it

all over the floor.

Greg obviously doesn't know how

Mikey likes to celebrate.

One more time.

Wait, wait.

I saw a little spark.

Little spark.

It's it's sparking low.

It's not even clear in the

chair.

Oh, won't hit the ceiling.

Don't turn around and hit you in

the eyeball.

It's got to be out.

You need to put on your metas.

Oh yeah, did we go Facebook?
