ACHP Episode 529 Boy Am I Thirsty
Transcript
Welcome to a Cigar Hustler
podcast, episode 529.
I'm Mike Palmer, your host in
engineering.
Today we have Phil.
I like to imagine what it sounds
like when Palmer poops Mcguffey.
Nice, can't wait to get rid of
this mask.
What's up Peach?
Attaboy Peach.
Yeah, get rid of that mask for
another 30 days.
You just got it.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to make
some real.
Alterations.
Alterations on this?
I tried that's my Co host back
from his vacation.
Mikey, I smell like coconuts.
Stephan Kevins I.
Smell like coconuts.
The Centennial oil.
Like coconuts or peanut butter.
Coconuts.
Peanut butter was what he said
Preston smelled like when he was
leaning over his shoulder.
Two totally different things.
Two different things.
You were sniffing him.
He was not me.
You didn't see that picture I
sent you?
I saw the picture, it was just
weird.
I know.
It was weird.
No, I mean like the peanut
butter comment.
Oh, I don't know why he smelled
like peanut butter.
It's what he told him on today's
show.
Chinese takeout can get
expensive.
Red Bull can give you stripes.
Trump mobile update.
Remember we did the story on
Trump Mobile.
Yeah, we have an update.
Don't lick the straw.
And then in cigars, a a defunct
Cuban brand comes back.
OK.
Yeah, right over there.
Yeah.
All right.
Ghosts are back.
They're just smaller.
Drunk chicken is shipping.
The headphone just went dead.
Yep, they sure did.
Did you charge them before you
took them out-of-the-box?
For God's sakes, they charge in
the box.
It's a charging box.
The transmitter just died.
Did.
The transmitter, now look at it
is it got lights on?
Nope, it's dead.
Well wait, well, 2 are dead, 1's
not you.
Don't know how to charge?
I'm sorry, is there a certain
way to plug them in?
Because one of them is charged
and two aren't.
They're all in the same box.
Apparently there is.
All right.
DD.
Drunk chicken is shipping and
then a What's the score?
I'm not mad at you.
I didn't say you were.
OK, this is just a process, part
of the process.
I'm worried about it, but before
we get started, oh, you don't
still want to wear them?
Just get the feel of.
It no, that doesn't work.
I'm not wearing them.
What am I?
How do we get some of the
chapter pod swag Mikey?
Like and subscribe wherever
you're viewing or watching this
show.
That's what I forgot yesterday.
The like and subscribe I said
it.
Check out chapter pod.com for
all of your chapter pod swag.
We're going to get going on the
cups, man, What are we doing?
We're all getting electrocuted
one day.
We're back at our free shipping.
Buy one, get the same 140% off
and free shipping over $100 or
more is now back on.
So.
You watch that part of it.
Yeah, I saw that part.
And yes, I got a couple comments
from from yesterday's show.
I'm sure it's about the free
shipping.
Without me there's.
There was no free shipping
yesterday.
It depends if you bought
something.
Sales.
Were down, down, down, down.
Nobody bought anything.
Only a couple comments.
Apparently triple G is not as
big of a track sequence as your
boy.
That was some of the the
comments yesterday.
We missed triple G We'd like
more triple G Yeah, they were
both from your mother, but
that's OK.
They're both.
What from your mother?
Ruckus Unchained is my mother.
That's her.
That's her YouTube.
Team Money says the movie poster
was of course from me.
What was the movie poster?
From Phil's new movie The love
story as Dead Inside of Me.
Dead inside of.
Yeah, we didn't have a video, so
we put up the movie post.
I got it well.
I thought team money is supposed
to be on my side.
He was.
He made your movie poster.
Team money's on my side.
Team money's on team money side,
yeah.
CW6383 says why does it seem
homier with boots Triple G and
Palmer?
Not that we don't miss Mikey.
I'm going to get your hat up by
the way in the upcoming days.
I'll message you when it's
ready.
The the black war bear hat.
Did we send him the other one?
No, it's right over there.
He's he's local.
Oh OK ish localish.
Yeah.
And I already responded to that.
Look, you know, here's the
reality that when you put the
three of them in, it's obviously
lacking structure, then nobody
even bothers listening to each
other.
They just talk at each other for
45 minutes to an hour.
So that's why it feels more
homier.
No shot caller.
You know and.
Beating or beating?
No beatings.
Well, he did mention several
times yesterday.
At least I'm not getting in
trouble.
You don't.
You don't?
Oh yeah, You know, it's really
hard to talk to Greg.
You you can't bounce a lot of
things off of.
Him.
No, Yeah.
He doesn't really engage.
He doesn't.
No, Yeah, it's hard.
Well, you know the other part,
that here's one of the weird.
The strange thing I'm going to
tell you is that Palmer is more
comfortable when I'm in the
room.
For whatever reason.
He's more engaging.
He has more like he has better
conversation.
I only have to do this when
you're here.
When you're not here, I have to
do this and that and I have
problems doing both of them and
keep it running.
And he was worried about
legalities, too.
Like, at least when you're here,
Mikey, you could go, hey, cut
that out.
Can't say that.
Hey, look, dude, you're a stud.
You're.
You can handle these things.
I know, I know.
No, I don't like to.
Not that I couldn't.
I don't like.
To so then best not perform at
our highest performance.
I mean when I did when I had the
other shows I did 1 show
completely by myself and I kept
the other one running before.
Oh did you?
I just found out today.
Both of the guys from my other
show are doing their own shows
now.
Oh, there.
But I just saw Brandon's doing
1.
I saw it on LinkedIn for what is
that job he does for a living
surveying?
Yeah, it's it's a high tech
surveying podcast around episode
279, so he must have been doing
it for a while.
Well, he must have joined in
later.
He might have, or it might have
been going longer on longer than
I thought it was.
I don't know.
I just like I said, I just found
out 20 minutes ago and Jet's
wanting to start 1 so with his
fiance, well, it's kind of neat.
Yeah, good for them.
Yeah.
See.
Look, you inspire others.
Like Chet?
Yeah, yeah, you're bestie.
He wants to do another podcast.
Yeah, with his fiance.
She'll fiance, right?
Then he'd get married yet.
Yeah or yeah.
Yeah, Yep, that's great.
Something about travel or
something.
He sort of went over with me
roughly.
Are you?
Producing.
These No, no, no, no.
I'm not producing either one.
Chet wants to buy some of our
old gear, though.
Oh.
OK, there you go.
At my at my T Sharp 4 The irony
and the fact that you wanted to
do an egg skit based around
Alzheimer's and forgot.
Yeah, What's that about?
We covered a story yesterday
about how eggs are good for
Alzheimer's.
And I meant to buy eggs, hard
boiled eggs, and I was going to
just start pounding them as I
was reading the story, eating
them.
And then when they cut the boot
he would be eating.
Them and you just cut.
The Greg Well, I forgot, I
forgot, I forgot, I forgot
twice.
There's been a lot of money in
eggs, just by the way.
Well, I was.
Only going to buy like 6:00 or
8:00.
They have those hard boiled
packs at Publix.

It's apparently.
Oh, you like yesterday's?
Show, Yeah, you blurted out.
You blurted out.
Dumb.
Dumb.
We're talking about somebody.
Oh well, that's he was already
on a list.
Yeah.
And then the other one I don't
know.
Are we not supposed to talk
about those people?
I I, you know, I'm not here for
those meetings.
Yeah, You guys got to tell me
stuff.
We don't allow them to come to
the production meetings.
Yeah, you guys got to tell me
about these before I just, you
know, let it out.
I just don't say anybody's name.
That's hard.
Come up with code words.
Oh, OK.
But not like don't like just
change the 1st letter of their
name.
That's not a code word.
Rhymes with.
Rhymes with Mooper.
Manciano.
So anyways, just put an M in
front.
Of the percent different so.
So so we're going to be

All right.
And then we have to take the
photo and then everything else
we got already.
Friend.
OK, so perfect.
Photo of what?
Just me and Mikey for the for
the guys.
So if.
You if you could take the photo.
For us, that'd be great.
You know, somebody asked them
all the messages, how did the
masks, how did the masks start
to happen for Phil?
And honestly, I don't know how
the match started to happen, but
I, you know, I think that
honestly, what probably happened
was we looked at each other and
figured how much shit is he
willing to take to stay on this
podcast?
And the answer is a lot.
And we've pushed the bar.
So that's, that's how the masks
happen.
And now the masks are a thing
and they're not going away.
And now Princess Peach, even
though he's not properly wearing
it, he better not put it on and
put.
It on I'm I'm not on the camera,
man.
He brings it.
He brings it down when he.
Yeah, this is difficult for me
especially.
And plus these are like furry,
Yeah.
They're like like felt or
whatever it felt.
Yeah, it doesn't.
It doesn't work well when it's,
you know, it's like 90° down
here.
Everybody by He makes us sweat
out and he beats us.
Cold in here today, yeah.
I can't work in these kind of
conditions.
No, it's itchy.
It's like super itchy when I put
it down by my.
Give you a rash?
I'd love if I gave him a rash.
Just where he wears the mask.
It would not be OK.
Let's get him a lotion to apply.
I must put down the lotion or it
gets the hose.
Well, well, there's a lot of
those, buddy.
We got a hole.
I wish you, I wish you guys
would.
The last mask was good.
You guys hit it.
You guys are good on that one.
But the feathers.
Yeah, I was fine with the
feathers, you know, the mat, but
it was the eye holes.
I didn't have to mess with
anything with the mouth or
anything, you know?
Yeah, well, I tried to go the
same route with these.
No, you pick kid ones.
If they were adult sizes it
would be OK probably.
We can get longer elastic for
the others.
It's not the elastic.
Well, that would.
Oh, it's the actual size, yeah.
Paul, why don't you?
Why don't you pull one of these
masks?
On.
I think I've had that one on.
It's like a low.
I put it on.
We should all wear one one
episode.
I put it on that, that's why I
cut it for you.
Whichever ones we don't want him
to wear, we'll wear one.
Episode I have like the middle
size Ed out of all of us.
Adult size Mario masks don't
buy.
More We have plenty up there.
Or you take those home to your
children.
Yeah, let the kids wear what
the.
Kids wear.
Oh yeah, they they didn't get
good reviews.
Oh, no much.
I did get good reviews.
For horrible for icon.
All right, I'm moving on with
your mass shopping.
OK.
The billionaire owner of the
Milwaukee Bucks is was allegedly
blackmailed by a Chinese born
divorcee after he hooked up with
her and she demanded half of his
fortune and had compromising
material in a box of sanitary
pads, according to federal
prosecutors.
No, I heard about this.
This is, yeah.
This is so he got divorced, met
this lady online or no?
She made she direct messages
LinkedIn.
He hooked up with her, she
videotaped it, hit a phone in
the maxi pads and then demanded
half his money.
Half of all of it.
Yeah.
So it's like 3 billion or
something.
Released the video.
That's basically what he did.
He's divorced.
What is he getting?
Yeah.
Wesley Eden, 64, is also the Co
founder of the Wall Street
investment firm Fortress
Investment Group and owner of
the Aston Villa soccer team.
Had sex with Chang Lee Sophia
Lau, 46, after she slid into his
LinkedIn DMS in 2022, according
to federal prosecutors.
And as the Wall Street Journal
reported, after Eden's, who was
newly divorced, had a night of
passion at Laos Manhattan
apartment, she sent him a
desperate love letter and they
became progressively more
deranged when he did not
respond, prosecutors said.
Amazing.
She got mad he did not love her
back.
It's got to be tough to be a
billionaire a single.
Billionaire.
He got a direct message from
some Chinese lady.
Yeah, he's she's leading to the
DMS and he's like, I'm single.
I'm single, I've never had
Chinese before.
Well, she's half.
This is why her middle name is
Sophia.
Right.
Chinese steak out.
It's expensive.
Got it.
Got it.
Yeah, but like, imagine being
having to be totally guarded,
worried about somebody always
trying to take your money from
you, right?
Right.
Like you, you have to go back to
what you're who are your
original friends and like those
are your, your boys or whatever.
And it's kind of hard to branch
out.
Hard.
Yeah.
I mean, you don't know if any of
anyway level of men or women or
being nice to you just because
you have $3 billion, Yeah, or 6
billion, whatever it turned out
to be.
So you know what he did?
He called the FBI.
Thunder in.
FBI agent searched her apartment
and found a phone hidden in a
laundry basket and another in a
box of sanitary pads, according
to prosecutors.
One phone had several
pornographic videos and images
that had Eden's face edited onto
another man's body, according to
prosecutors.
So wasn't even real.
Wasn't even real.
I mean he's saying he did it but
the video she had wasn't even
him.
Wow, she ChatGPT them.
She ChatGPT them.
Now make it look like this guy.
Make it.
Look like this man, I'm sorry.
That violates our standards.
And no, no, it's OK.
Just like and make it kind of
look like this guy.
Kind of look like him.
Yeah, just don't put it in from
behind.
So she was arrested on June 14th
at JFK International Airport as
she tried to board a flight to
China.
She was hitting the road,
getting out of here, getting out
of town.
Man, she could have got a free
vacation.
Now she's in jail.
This didn't go as planned,
right?
The video wasn't that good I
guess.
Darn it.
Wait wait, they were going to
put her in jail for the video or
for?
The blackmail.
Blackmail.
Blackmail is illegal.
So she asked.
Oh yeah, she asked for half of.
All the Chinese inspectorists
came after.
The inspectories.
The inspectories, yeah,
Inspector Division inspectories
came after.
Chinese inspectories missed out
on that that.
Was that was yesterday.
That's Chinese version of
Interpol.
I'm going to have to go listen
to this episode catch up.
Yeah, mustard.
So I don't remember what it was.
Mustard.
There was something with ketchup
and mustard, I don't remember
what it was.
Yeah, yesterday.
He doesn't like either one.
It's not true.
Wait, that was that was last
week.
When was that?
That was when Greg was here.
Last week, wasn't it?
When the When the Kid stole the
100 wieners.
No, it was yesterday when Greg
was like, oh, I'm going to have
to catch up on something.
I'm like, yeah, get your
mustard.
And he's like, what?
Oh, it's getting something you
don't hear.
Gotcha.
Riveting stuff.
Sorry.
All right, SO.
Call that back.
OK, got it.
Yeah, so she's in trouble.
So yeah, so now she's in jail.
He didn't have to give half of
his billions to some random
Chinese lady.
And he gets to keep the
Milwaukee Bucks.
She had no leverage.
He doesn't care.
No, he doesn't care.
It's not like he stepped out on
his wife and would ruin things.
And we were single anyway.
Yeah, until he tell until she
tells the FBI that he
inappropriately touched her or
something.
And I got news for you if it
like she didn't play this all
the way through because like,
even if he was married, right,
and he realized that this would
ruin him, like I'd be like, OK,
well, you know, then I'm going
to give the half to my wife.
When she's going to divorce me,
I'm going to lose half.
Why not give it to her?
You crazy bitch.
Because.
You're going to come back after
me for the other man.
Right.
Like it's a terrible blackmail.
Well, have a better strategy.
She's.
Obviously not good at it.
Yeah.
Oh, I know.
Good.
I go to China.
I.
Got to get out of here.
Got to get out of here.
Excuse me ma'am, I'm getting to
come to this.
Right now, please Phil, what are
you looking up?
Like how to properly blackmail a
billionaire?
No, I wanted, I wanted to see
what she looked like.
Of course she did, she's semi
attractive.
But he's wow.
He's an old dude.
He could do something with his
hair.
He's 64.
He's sitting on his wallet.
Bro, he was 44 or something like
that.
So, I mean, yeah, so he looked,
you know, with 6 billion
dollars, $6 billion better.
Yeah, he's much more appealing.
Yeah.
All right, lot of international
news today in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia.
OK, wow.
A French teen is facing mischief
and public nuisance charges in
Singapore after posting a video
on social media.
What do you guys think he did?
I remember these countries are
very strict on things you're
allowed to do or not do, like
that one kid got caned years ago
for spitting gum on the.
No, the kid got cane for spray
painting cars and vandalists.
Oh, that was a different one.
That's super.
Strict also got cane for
spitting gum on the sidewalk.
OK, So what do you think he did?
So this guy is where exactly?
Malaysia, Singapore, Singapore,
The stories from Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia.
But he did the crime in
Singapore.
In Singapore.
Well, we wouldn't really think
of it as a crime, but they do.
I'm going to say littering.
He wouldn't dress up as a boy.
She, she, boy, boy, girl.
What are they called?
You know what's even funnier
about that is that, like, he
acts like when we talk about
things, he gets all up tight,
makes him uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, he's all about, you
know, picturing this kid dressed
up as a girl.
Yeah, but maybe they want him to
do that.
And he said no.
And he's like, you're like, Oh,
well, you're going to jail.
I don't think they're that
strict.
Really.
But anyway, he walked up to an
orange juice vending machine,
pulled a straw out of the straw
holder, licked it, videotaped
himself licking it, and then put
it back in.
Oh, he's a criminal.
That's.
Terrible.
I know, I figured you would
think it's under.
The jail.
Especially with this hanovirus
going.
On.
That's worse than the that's
worse than the poop runner guy,
right gal or whatever.
He did a video of himself on
social media of him licking a
straw from the orange juice
vending machine and then putting
it back.
Dieter Owen, he's 18, was
charged after April 24th and
hasn't entered A plea, the city
state largest English language
newspaper The Straits Times
reported.
He allegedly committed the
offence at a shopping mall on
March 12th and his video spread
rapidly when it surfaced, the
report said.
So as a kid. 18 year old, yeah.
He thought this would be funny.
Let me lick this straw and put
it back in, which he should have
done.
In America, he wouldn't have
gone to jail, but in wherever
this is, Singapore, whatever it
is, you're going to jail.
And, well, you don't.
We don't have unexposed straws,
just kind of laying around.
Yeah, yeah.
By the way, I was just wondering
about that, Like what?
Why would you have that on a
vending machine?
Yeah, you want to.
There's this wild concept, It's
called paper, and you put that
over the straw.
Well, yeah, but then there's or
plastic littering by the paper.
So if they eliminate the paper,
there's no littering of the
paper.
Straw Palmer.
I understand that, but you stick
it in there and then you have to
throw it away.
Some of these countries, they
don't put out public garbage
cans.
You have to take it all home and
throw it away you.
Have to put it in your pocket.
It's a carton of orange juice.
We're talking about the straw.
Well, yeah.
But you still got the carton to
deal with too.
So why sell the carton of orange
juice?
People are thirsty.
Yeah, why sell a carton?
I don't know.
It's a vending machine for
orange juice.
I feel like this whole logic is
wrong.
Yeah, I like that you're getting
upset about.
I'm not getting angry.
Like they don't put paper on the
straws.
The teen was granted court
permission Wednesday to travel
to Manila from May 24.
School trip.
Oh wow.
Bradford's graduation.
He is due back in court on May
29th.
Mischief, which is a crime he
was accused with straight
mischief carries a penalty of up
to two years in prison.
Oh, fine or both?
Oh, while public nuisance is
less severe, with up to three
months in prison or a fine or
both.
So he's been charged with
nuisance and mischief.
OK, Bill, do you think the crime
matches the punishment?
I have a question before I
answer that.
Do they have misdemeanors and
felonies over there?
I don't think so.
I think it's just crimes.
So you just, you just get hit
with a crime.
It doesn't matter.
Does the crime match the
punishment?
Hope you're not looking as
strong, no?
Hopefully not strong put it back
in where other people might use
it, no?
OK.
Do you think the crime matches
the punishment?
Well, they just cane him like to
do everybody else and get over
with it.
Yeah, we.
Got it that far?
I asked the question.
No, it seems a little excessive.
I mean the three month thing,
OK, maybe that's.
Three months in prison for
licking a straw.
Well, that's for nuisance.
It's it's just because his crime
falls in this category.
I'm very sorry.
Don't lick a straw.
So you think?
The kid that took the poster in
North Korea almost got killed.
So so So you're saying the crime
does match the punishment if
it's the three month penalty in
prison for licking a straw?
Yes, Malaysian prison, that one
the guy does from the movie
where he talks where he has all
the tattoos.
Have you seen that clip?
The guy was in some weird.
Never mind.
Nope, that sounds weird.
OK, so apparently Palmer's OK
with three months in jail for
licking a straw.
Where are you at on this?
What's the punishment for this?
Yeah, there's absolutely no jail
time.
OK, But maybe like, like, public
shaming?
Shaming.
Yeah.
How do you shame somebody in
public?
What's that involved?
Like.
Maybe what you should do?
You hang him up, pull out his
pants, and everybody laughs.
You pants him out in public.
No, I I think like.
That's public indecency.
That's another crime.
Two years.
I think they should bring back
like, like the where, the what
was that little thing like it's
not a guillotine, but.
Chop off his head.
No, no, no.
Three years in prison is too
much, but let's chop off his.
Head lick the straw he's.
Gotta go cut the head.
No.
What was the thing that he used
to put their head and their
hands in and they close it and
they had to sit there?
Oh the the.
Yeah, Yeah.
What is that called?
I don't know what it's called.
I know what you're talking
about.
Yeah, that thing that that's
what it should.
That's what his punishment
should be, in the middle of the
busiest place.
And people can throw stuff at
him.
Or lick straws and throw them at
him, yeah.
Stick dirty straws in his mouth.
Yeah, maybe a dirty Band-Aid or
two right on his cheek.
Rub it on his head.
Oh, gross.
This guy was.
Visiting.
He goes to school there.
So he knows better.
Right.
He knows a crime.
Yeah, he's been there.
Do not lick the.
There's actually a sticker on
the straws that says do not lick
this and.
Probably on the dispenser it
says it only take one straw.
Do not lick.
Yeah, I juice.
I'm.
Sorry.
The company operating the juice
vending machine filed a police
report and sanitized the
dispenser while replacing all
500 straws in the machine.
You got.
You need to pronounce that word
next time better.
That's what is I J0 0Z I juice.
It's probably like juice.
OK.
Upgraded machines to include
measures such as individually
packaged straws and straw
compartments that unlock only
after the transaction is
completed.
Lawyers for the teen, who is
studying in a French Business
School in Singapore, declined to
comment on the case when
contacted.
And we're at. 26 minutes go.
Right?
All right, Florida.
What are we doing now?
According to the Hillsborough
County Sheriff's Office Excuse
me, 33 year old Nicole Schuler
all.
Of a sudden, I can't breathe.
Yeah, Oh.
God was arrested.
After allegedly stealing a Red
Bull delivery truck in Tampa and
leading the deputies on a multi
county police chase across
Florida, There you.
Go.
Oh, I saw.
You see this?
Yeah, I saw this one.
But here's the part.
That everybody's talking about.
During the police chase, she got
thirsty, so she pulled into a
quickie Mart.
No, Deputies say during the
chase, she literally stopped at
a Quickie Mart to grab herself
something to drink.
Stop.
It that's where she got caught.
Is it?
What an idiot.
You know what?
I was so.
Puzzled by with this story, but
is there really a quickie Mart
in Tampa?
Yeah, I've seen them.
Like The Simpsons?
Quickie Mart.
Well, it's like.
A 711 or like in the store, you
know?
Oh, OK, I thought it.
Was like the name of the place
was a Quickie Mart.
It is.
That would be The Simpsons.
Yeah, but.
There's no APU running the shop.
You don't.
Know that Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Yeah, it is Tampa, ma'am.
Respectively, you are already
driving the world's largest
energy drink truck.
Authorities say the chase went
through Hillsborough County and
the Polk County before deputies
finally arrested her with help
from aviation units and multiple
agencies.
The charges include Grand Theft
Auto.
There is no quickie.
Mart in Tampa.
Well, they said it also went
into Polk County.
Is there a quickie Mart?
In Florida.
Yeah, yeah.
And Universal, well, Universal
Studios has one.
Oh, maybe it's where.
They.
Got her, She got it.
She pulled it.
Got out of the car.
She has passes.
Got a ticket?
Went into universal no she has
passes she.
Didn't have to get to the Yeah
and she valet and.
She valet.
The Red Bull track, yeah.
I don't know if the $80 is going
to cover that.
You know, people are really.
Upset about the fact that you
mixed up the Disney Cruise thing
with ice when it was the child
thing.
But what I read said.
Ice and they even talked about
the the mad lady and everything
they had to there.
Was two stories about they got
hit twice.
Actually, there's a third.
Story about Disney too.
They refused to depart and made
everybody get off the ship.
Why?
All the same way.
I know I didn't.
Read the story.
I figured 1/3 Disney story just
seems too much.
Yeah, so with the.
Headlines everywhere they were
getting left.
And right hooks everywhere,
yeah.
They they searched 10 ships that
day.
Wow.
So.
I guess universal.
'S getting their own cruise
line.
Now they're mad at Disney.
They made a call.
OK, so.
Sorry.
So yeah, sure, she got caught.
She got caught.
Do you think she had the new
seasonal summer edition?
I don't know the story.
Says, imagine explaining this to
your family, that yeah, I got
caught because I got thirsty,
but I'm driving a truck full
around full of drinks, right?
That you can just continue.
To drink and keep going, you
just turned around and got.
One, I would imagine at some
point.
Well, she had to explain.
That as she came down off the
crack.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Yeah.
Well, Red Bull gives you wings.
She should have just flown away.
Who steals a?
Red Bull truck, first of all,
that is so like, where are you
blending in, man?
You're not blending in anywhere.
It's a Red Bull truck.
Well, I mean if you get.
Far enough away from the police.
You're not the only Red Bull
truck.
Oh yeah.
They've got huge numbers on the
back too, 560.
That's the one we're looking
for, fellas.
Maybe they can't find it.
Oh wait, it's for the woman.
For the woman with the woman
driver not.
Wearing the costume, not wearing
the outfit.
Yeah, She thought she'd blend.
In like she's making a delivery
at the gas station, that's why
she pulled in.
The cooking you'll never think
the look here.
Cover nothing.
Imagine the idiot that.
Left the keys in it when he went
to make a delivery, right?
Oh man.
That guy, he's that guy he
fired.
He's done.
So what?
Did you do?
Oh, I just left it running.
He now works for Bang.
Energy drink Bang.
They I have the.
Next one I can think of where
they at?
I haven't seen them.
They're still in the quickie
marts and stuff.
Are they quickie marts?
More Quickie Marts.
Yes, we're going with.
Quickie Marts.
After both of you guys.
I don't want to say the word and
have to edit myself when you do
the intro.
For tomorrow, can you say hi?
And I'm your host, Mike.
I don't know how to charge
transmitters, Palmer or
something like that.
No, I'm not.
No, no.
Last year we covered the new
Trump Mobile, the company, the
the cell phone company that the
Sun started.
It's done.
It's done.
It's worse.
It's worse.
It was a gold colored mobile
phone bearing President Trump's
name and has allegedly been in
the works for nearly a year now.
But a firm's timeline for his
release has remained unclear for
almost as long, so the phones
never got made.
A firm they.
Probably never planned on.
The firm that was making the
phone.
Probably never planned on
releasing.
This it's even worse, like
somebody hyped up the money,
right?
Oh yeah, yeah, as if they're.
Taking the money scam the T.
One phone.
Announced in June of 2025 by
Trump's son Donald Junior and
Eric was to be a signature
offering for users of the Trump
Mobile wireless plan.
Company also began taking $100
deposits for the phone.
Oh boy, there's the There We Go,
which is listed as a total
promotional price of 499.
At the same time, the device is
yet to be shipped despite an
initial delivery date of August
2020.
Five, 490. $9 people had to put
down No, they had to put down a.
100 of the 499 Honda.
So they all paid the.
Deposit of of $100, but nobody
ever got a phone you know it
serves.
Them all right it serves them
right why would you give $100
deposit on this phone well, I
mean at the.
Time.
You thought it was coming out in
60 days.
You don't have to put a.
Deposit on the iPhone.
No, but this way you.
Were guaranteed a phone yeah,
this is to.
Get on the list.
That makes sense to me.
That makes sense, no?
What was the last time you put a
deposit on like that, Mikey?
I'm talking about a my Trump
phone.
I never.
Got no, not like.
A a huge, huge item like a house
or anything like that season.
Tickets for the New England
Patriots.
That's a big that's.
A big item?
OK.
That's about $30,000 instead of
that big?
What?
What?
Price, do you consider a high
ticket item?
Yeah.
Anything over 10.
Grand.
Wait.
When did I ever give a deposit
for something over 10 grand No
10?
Oh, when?
I prepaid for a box of cigars a
pre-order.
Good point.
Great point.
Thank.
You very much no, no.
Hold on, he's lying because he
doesn't buy his own cigars.
Well, I know.
Maybe I.
Didn't do it, but but people do
it.
Yeah, yeah.
And they pay.
For the whole thing, they pay in
full, yeah.
Hoping that this.
Cigar comes out, Yeah.
Good .0 I have two things.
For the Patreon.
I.
Thought of something else?
Write it down now, please.
So you don't fucking no, no, I
remember I.
Remember, no you won't.
Yes, I will.
Oh my God, as they.
Were because they.
Had to do with the same person,
so just the one thing.
Then No2.
Besides the cigars.
Go on, move on to the next one
besides cigars.
Yeah, a watch you.
Don't know you can pre-order
watches.
What is that?
What is that service for people
to come out with new stuff, put
down payments on stuff?
Yeah, to show that I'm
committed.
Did you ever heard of layaway?
Lay.
Away we put it in the back.
Kmart, he's doing on.
Bicycles and then at Christmas
time we couldn't find the
bicycles.
Is that how that?
Works sometimes I want to.
Keep my comments.
I'm sorry, Sir, I know.
It's Christmas Eve, but we can't
find your bicycle.
Oh my.
God, pick the next.
One up please.
I could understand.
Why people go bankrupt at that
point?
Well, yeah.
People don't understand.
How important customer service
actually is, right?
And spirit.
Airlines that's.
Not why they went out.
That's exactly why they.
Went out.
No they didn't.
Yes it is.
No, it's the.
Price of fuel?
No, it's not.
The Trump Mobile.
Website is still directing
customers to a wait list for the
T1 phone today and still taking
deposits.
I'll be at a phone that appears
slightly different from the one
introduced with the oh, now
they've changed the look of the
phone that.
Did you get new company?
Yeah, it's not a gold anymore.
Now it's red.
It's red.
I don't know.
Yeah, when you call them.
To put down the $100 deposit,
they go.
Just put it the right tier, huh?
Can I get it?
In gift cards, come and pick it
up.
At the Quickie Mart we have them
here.
The Red Bull lady's here.
The Red Bull lady.
She took on the phones.
Come on man.
Representative of Trump.
Mobile was not immediately
available to answer questions
about the phone, of course.
Not you can't call them, they
don't have.
Phones, I'll get back to you on
that.
It just rings and rings.
I can't get through.
People are.
Gullible.
Man, Hi, Mike, you.
Got a video for us?
So you're saying that the phones
haven't come out and there's no
information phones haven't come
out?
They won't answer the phone and
when people have questions, but
the picture of the phone that is
now available that you can get
on the wait list for is a
completely different phone.
So there's.
No way to tell if this is a fake
website or a fake company or
anything.
Well, it's Trump Mobile.
Dot Gov So it's OK because it's
a dot.
Govright.gov it's.
Official we can buy that we.
Can scarhustlerspodcast.gov?
I don't think we're allowed to.
Buy dot govs.
That's that's how you know it's
officially the government.
No, you can.
Doit.gov No, you can't, no.
You can't.
The inspector, it won't let you.
He's looking it up now.
How much is boots.gov?
Oh, video, We're getting videos.
Attached.
One movie?
Oh, sounds so official.
You can buy it.
If you're AUS based government,
oh you got this one.
Is there volume?
No Volume.
No.
Oh my Lord.
They showed that one.
I haven't seen this one.
OK, dude, I just.
Wanted you guys, this guy
standing.
There in the runway and then the
guy no must in there then he's
not there, no.
More so, is all that white
stuff.
Is that fire or smoke?
I don't.
Know because it's it's.
Still, it looks like fire.
Yeah, it's probably.
Fire, fire and smoke.
Whoever that person is got
sucked into the motor, he got
sucked into the jet.
The jet I would.
Believe so.
But yeah, I mean, he's.
Gone well I from the video I saw
look like he might have been hit
by like the front wheel but I
didn't see this one before so
this happened in.
Denver, I think that's what.
It was This is recent.
Yesterday day.
Before 1 or the other SO guy
walked out on the.
Runway climbed a fence to get.
On the runway, I don't know why
you couldn't hear the plane
coming.
Was trying to cross the runway.
I think he.
I think suicide.
I think he.
Intentionally, I think suicide
by Jet.
Yeah, 'cause do you know?
What it takes to get all the way
out there?
What's it far away?
Do you think you got something
against?
Delta or something.
What was the plan that hit him?
It was.
Delta, but I don't think he
cared which one hit him.
No, it just happened to be the
first one.
Can you imagine like getting
being on the plane me like, OK,
I get to go home, it's been a
long week, whatever.
Get all your stuff on the plane.
You sat down and then some.
Some dude goes out into the
runway and didn't they see him?
Coming.
I mean, it's not like no.
How can you see?
Him.
Yeah, we can't turn.
Left or right?
The people in the plane.
But the people in the tower like
a security.
Breach.
Yeah, you know.
Something, I mean, granted, when
he climbed the fence, there's
the airplane, but he had to be
coming through the field.
It's not like there was, you
know, buildings right there.
It's normally a big clearing,
you know, around the runways and
stuff.
Well, they have.
You know, cameras everywhere,
right?
They couldn't go.
Hey, Delta Flight 444.
We've got somebody coming onto
the runway.
Please stop.
I guess you.
Got a great point there.
There's there's definitely.
A lot of people in trouble in
this whole situation.
I used to work for a ground
handler.
There's yeah, lots of people in
trouble, so.
OK, so that's got to suck for
everybody that's on that plane
for starters, right, right.
Well, you know you're.
Technically not safe on a plane
until it's in the air and you
hear that Bing Bing or Bing
bong, whatever.
Oh yeah, that's what you're
safe.
Yeah, you're free to move.
About that's when he's taken.
Off.
Yeah.
And there's like, that's past
the point of no return now.
If something happens, we got to
keep going.
Oh, gotcha.
Well, I got to tell you that's
what that's for.
It's a safety notification, I
got to tell you.
That means I always feel safe on
this podcast because he always
says Bing bong, right?
Exactly so.
We're good.
We're rolling over anybody.
Yeah.
So wait.
Hold on, let me get this.
That's right.
You're telling me when you're on
a plane?
Yes.
And it goes Ding Dong right
after it takes off.
That means I'm safe.
That means the plane.
Is taken off successfully and
it's.
You're not going to crash.
That's what it's for.
That's.
A notification for the pilots
telling the stewardesses.
I don't know if that's true.
Or not.
It's not going to.
Crash.
It can still crash, yeah, but
that's.
The point where they don't, they
can't go just back down and
land.
Like if something goes wrong now
we got to go up and circle and
come back.
You know, you're very
convincing.
With what you're talking about,
but well, when I.
Used to talk to my one son, His
wife is a stewardess and we
asked all these questions.
It's the first time we met her
because I mean, you don't get a
opportunity to talk to a
stewardess, you know, right
there.
I mean, I don't believe
anything.
Palmer says anymore.
Well, get up over there, Phil.
What's even funnier is the.
People all all over the
interwebs are going to let us
know whether it's right or
wrong.
Yeah, they are.
And.
And you know what?
Sometimes they're wrong too, So.
They're just like us.
That's even more comical.
Like, you just don't know what
you're talking about.
And then they split out
something that makes no sense.
I'm like, OK, you're one of us.
Yeah.
All right, one of us.
All right, one.
Of us all right on a cigar new.
I'm not done with.
We're not done with the dead
guy.
On the plane, already seen him
die four times.
What else we got?
We may or may not submit.
I want to hear.
I want to hear more please.
What do you have?
Do you?
Think.
That.
This is the way that you would.
Want to go out?
No sounds so worth.
The same thing.
Excuse.
Me.
Really painful.
And then what if the plane blows
up too?
What do you just want to take
all these people with you?
Yeah, you're.
That could have happened.
Yeah.
Can you imagine right.
So if you so.
So your question was, if you had
to die other than old age, how
would you go out if you if if
you had?
Decided to UN alive yourself.
Oh, sorry, I can't say.
Another word.
We're being correct.
We're.
Being politically correct.
We are finally being politically
correct on this show.
Look at that.
I mean, for the most part I'm
pretty.
Politically correct.
It's it's you 2 yahoos and screw
this whole thing up so.
If you decided to unalign
yourself.
Would would plane running in
front of a plane even be in the
conversation?
Well, I've never actually
thought of.
How I would like to do it right,
I don't see that being on the
top of the list.
Well, let's unpack that.
How would you want?
Me to pick one.
Yeah.
How?
Would you want to go out?
I think.
Gun would be the easiest the
fastest gun if you take pills
might take a while, you know and
drowning No, I don't want to do
that.
I hear that's very painful.
Not going to light myself on
fire.
That hurts.
Guns a good.
Statement piece.
Hanging you might change your.
Mind, yeah, you regret it
halfway through, right?
Halfway through, then what do
you do?
You can't.
You can't reach the rope.
You.
Yeah, kind of just being so.
Morbid.
There's so many other ways to go
out, I don't know what I have
to.
Slit in your wrist again, going
to take a while.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know the gun.
You don't have to think about it
and you don't get to, you know,
halfway through you're not
going, oh, I shut down 911
before all the blood runs out of
my, I mean, get in front of a
plane, obviously.
Seems pretty quick and
effective, yeah, but there's a
problem you could take.
All the other people with that's
true, you got to think about
that.
I mean, unless they're so
distraught, they're like, I want
to take people with me.
I don't know.
OK, Phil, your king of self
preservation, if you're going to
go to you, what is the least
painful?
Easiest way to do it?
What?
What do you think?
How?
Would you go about unaliven
yourself?
I know that this is we're
opening your mind up to
something that you couldn't even
deem.
Well, I already had something in
mind.
That's why I put my mask down.
OK, All right, because I'm going
to go on the camera for this
one.
Good sexual cardiac arrest
you're.
Going to F till you die.
You got to purposely, Yeah.
Why?
How?
Else would you want to go out,
man, that's the best way to go
out.
You're going to pass that I'm.
Sorry, go ahead, you're going to
purposely.
Bang the hell out of something
until you die and then they're.
Going to have to deal with your
dead body laying on top of them.
You have to deal with your dead
body when you slit.
Your wrist over there.
No, I'm shooting my, I'm
shooting myself, he goes.
Someplace quiet.
Go someplace.
Quiet where nobody can find me.
Go out in the.
Woods you want to get like an
old dog, They're eventually
going to find you.
Your brains are going to be all.
I wouldn't want my wife.
To come home and find me, yeah.
Or you.
Know one of the kids or
something?
Then forever she's going to be.
Like where did he go?
I'll leave a nice note.
Oh, we've got a huge.
Audience today, that's great.
Yeah.
He's going to come try to see.
The spark because they can't get
anywhere.
He is the Sumatras are here, I
think.
Oh, Greg, everyone.
Greg has entered the room.
Triple G.
Has entered triple G is.
Here he came back.
To give us our money for the.
Sparklers.
And you, Michael, hi, what is
your chosen of an alive?
I would say probably.
The same as yours, yeah, but it
would be yeah, someplace off
basis, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I.
Wouldn't want to, I ruined the.
House.
Yeah.
They're going to find you.
Maybe like.
On a bridge that when I did it I
went into the river or ocean or
something.
Oh, do it and then fall in the
water.
And you get washed away, yeah,
but then you're going to die
twice.
No, it doesn't work that way.
Because an animal's going to eat
you.
He just come in to wash his
hands down here.
Then left pretty much he just
wanted he just.
Wanted us to know he's back in.
The there's a truck full of
cigars up see like part of the
show.
I hate the show but.
Say my name check out.
My hands, just so you know,
Greg.
We're going to be.
Super busy the whole time.
Then there's a meeting and then
we leave.
We got to drag this out.
We still got to do the Patreon.
We're doing a four hour.
Mooper Show.
All right, let's go to the cigar
news.
HVC.
La Decoracion heads the stores.
La Decoracion.
A defunct 19th century Cuban
brand is returning to shells by
way of HVC.
Rainier Lorenzo, HVC's founder,
decided to revive La Decoracion
as a new regular production line
coming from Nicaragua.
If you get one of these that
have expired, you're exempt from
any FDA thing on the way.
The old FDA thing?
Read What the FDA?
Things I know.
It's gone now, but I'm.
Saying at the time, if you would
have bought one of these older
names because then you are
grandfathered in because that
brand existed before they
started.
Why he did it, I don't know.
Yeah, this is well.
Beyond that, yes, yes.
I'm just saying, OK, I don't
know if there's any advantage to
picking up this old brand would
he just couldn't come up with a
name.
I just like the fact that you.
Just said, hey, you know the
rule and regulation that doesn't
even exist anymore?
Well, this would have exempted
that rule and regulation.
That's the way it was back then.
I don't know what.
It is now.
To me it sounds like.
Without you reading further, I
would assume that Rainier
obviously has Cuban heritage as
he is Cuban and probably said
hey this would be a cool piece
for me to possess.
They do can't come up with a
name.
Let's just take one.
I don't think it's that.
I don't think it's can't.
Come up with a new name.
I think it's, hey, you know
what, this would be cool for me
to own.
So he's paying homage.
Kind of thing, yeah.
I'm not going to let you just
stand here and.
Attack people all the time
anymore.
I have friends that are now
angry at me for the things that
you say, things that I say.
Yeah.
Oh, why aren't they angry at me?
Why are they angry at you?
No, they're mad at you.
Oh.
But but, but they lash out at
me.
Oh, that's good.
And I'm like, are we serious?
What are we doing right now?
Like, what's going on here?
I'm so glad they don't have my
phone.
Number to lash so they have your
phone numbers.
Everywhere they have your phone
number, but then they know that
what are they going to lash out
at you?
What's that going to do?
That's like beating a dead
horse.
Yeah, I might talk about it on
the.
So I'm not.
Going to let you attack when you
he's a nice.
Guy.
It's offered in four Soft press
Vitola's Soft Press Soft Press.
There's also a sampler that
includes one of each vitola,
priced at $54.00.
For the moment, only 300
samplers have been made.
Oh, that's pretty cool.
So, Lorenzo.
Told Half.
Wheel.
He was open to producing more.
Yeah, the sampler's kind of a
neat idea.
What's the wrapper?
Does this.
Lost Cal does the same.
Thing.
Oh, did I?
Yeah.
Oh, I love it.
Here's the thing about the
scarring machine.
There's nothing new and
innovative about it.
A lot of these things have been
done before.
I'm glad that they happened.
I'm glad, you know, but like,
none of that.
When somebody claims something's
original, it's probably not
original.
That's my point, yeah.
There's only so many things you
can do.
Yeah.
It's like, OK, dude.
I mean they're.
They're cigars You.
Barbara.
Pole, I'm like, wait, no, it's
not like there's there's.
You know, new stuff that's going
on in the cigars where they're
like, I made a square when it
shaped like a pretzel.
Sounds great.
He uses an Ecuadorian 2. 1000
wrapper over Tobacco's from
Esta, Lee and Halapa regions of
Nicaragua.
Ecuadorian what?
I don't know, it's what it says.
OK, undisclosed.
HVC describes it as a.
Medium bodied release, 20 bucks
is habano.
It's an Ecuadorian 2000 wrapper.
That's all it says.
I bet you Habano.
We read about the.
Sampler inside the lid, known as
the Vista, pays tribute to the
Cadro Metropolitan de la Havana,
which was founded in 1777.
I'm guessing that's a church.
Sounds churchy.
Take me to church.
It's not Don't say.

premature.
Well, the ghost have been around
for a long.
Time.
I used to smoke those, Yeah, but
go zombie.
Well, I don't know why they call
it a.
Zombie.
They have changed the band
slightly.

larger size, with the Brazilian
Adebaracco wrapper and a
Dominican Creolo 98 binder and
fillers from the Dominican

A lot.
Dedication.
Yes.
Who were they owned by before?
Cuba.
I try.
To look it up, I can't find.
Them even even like the
original?
Well, there's probably nothing
dating.
Back, I mean it could be, you
know, an old old old name, but
it was registered somewhere.
I was just trying to find like
the original and.
See if it said like how it was
made and if it's made in.
Cuba, there's probably no
records that are on the
Internet.
On Al Gore's Internet, right
back before it started.
Drunk Chicken ships Mother

Dream Connecticut.
The two newest limited edition
cigars from Drunk Chicken Cigars

Sumatra, San Andreas, whatever.
Just the broad leaf.
I don't know.
Just give me a little bit of
Intel, because now we're just
getting to this path of such
vagueness.
Or don't tell me anything they
say.
Then would you rather just?
Say not available, it's
undisclosed, undisclosed perfect
and then I.
OK, but like to do, you know,
like like, you know, I'm trying
to find a good comparison, you
know, like how fast did you
drive?
Well, I drove, you know what I
mean.
What?
No, I asked like one specific
question and you're not giving
me any Intel.
I went between 0 and 100.
Yeah, exactly.
In a car like OK I.
Will start filtering the
stories.
For you, how is No, no, I would
much rather.
That you did it and we bashed it
a little bit.
The original mother Clucker
which is made.
With a Habano wrapper over non
disclosed fillers they said
Habano.
It says Ecuadorian actually.
Oh, the rapper, they said what
the rapper was, but not the
filler.
OK, that's perfect.
Yeah, but the filler is OK to
be.
Just Nicaraguan or Yeah, no, so
they disclosed.
It there, but the one before was
a.
Mexican San Andreas wrapper
covering binder and fillers
grown in Ecuador, which is fine.
OK, that's what but.
That was the one you were
yelling about Where?
In Ecuador?
No, I wasn't really basically
talking.
About them, I was, I'm saying in
general, like I got you.
Yeah, like at least say that.
What he's saying?
Is at least, say, the rapper,
right, Right, right.
Yeah, the rapper.
At least give me the if.
It's Ecuadorian and and it's a
Habano seed.
Tell me it's everyone Habano if
it's you know.
So like their next cigar is a.
Connecticut Seed rapper grown in
the US Perfect, right?
Ah, gotcha.
We.
Don't have a problem with the
chicken people?
No, no problems, no problem.
No problem with chicken people.
They're on par.
They're on par.
I like the chicken people.
We.
Like the chicken people?
Yes, we like the chicken.
We say nice things about the
chicken people.
Yes, I know I smoked the cigar.
On the your other show you were

good.
Oh, very nice.
Yeah.
The Connecticut.

Took a nice picture and put it
up.
For me, there you go, both

living.

'S favorite game What's the?

Because Greg would not give us

He did an excellent job, Mikey.
Greg his.
Nephew.
His nephew is his nephew.
No brother-in-law.
Brother-in-law.

It's yeah, it's because of his
age.
It seems odd, but that's what it
was I thought.
All right, anyway one.
Cigar we are doing today.
It is May 21st, 2023.
Patrick Lagreed.
It's the Dominican Republic
Gurka Ghost Connecticut Asura.
You go 1st 80. 5 Is it funny?
8575.
It's the Gurkha ghost.
Connecticut Asura Country of
origins.
Dominican Republic Factory PDR
Cigars the rapper Ecuadorian
Connecticut OK fair binder
Mexico filler Dominican
Republic, Nicaragua and USA.
It's a 6 by 54 Toro extra.
They smoked 385.
If I squint my eyes.
I can kind of wear this.
OK good.
Keep them squinted.
It's funny looking.
At you, before your eyes were.
Like peeled back.
So it was like this, I started,
I started laughing.
Yeah, it's not the best.
It's not the best, so we going
to go 7370 what 3?
He was talking.
Yesterday we.
Couldn't understand him either.
That doesn't.
Cover his mouth in any way.
Does it?
If only we had headphones.
We do have headphones, everybody
knows.
What I say out there in.
The world fully charged.
To tell you.
Construction really stands out
from start to finish, draws
consistently spot on, smoke
production is thick and
satisfying, and the burn line
stays mostly even.
The ash is especially
impressive, holding firm and
showing the cigar is well put
together 87.
Gurkha 73 clue #2.
The flavor profile delivers a
smooth, approachable Connecticut
experience with some nice
transitions.
Creaminess, Graham cracker,
light coffee, nuttiness and even
a touch of saltiness keep it
interesting.
The late stage bump in white
pepper and that doughnut like
sweetness at a welcome change of
pace.
Little bump in the white pepper.
Little bump on white pepper and
then a.
Doughnut because after.
You do a little bump you.
Need a doughnut?
Little.
Sugar, little sugar.
Need a.
Little Sugar 87. 73 At times the
flavours feel.
Like a bit too muted with
stretches where the profile
leans heavily on creaminess and
becomes hard to distinguish, it
never quite reaches the depth of
complexity that would elevate it
beyond a solid but somewhat
restrained experience 84.
Yeah.
We like this creamy.
Nothing.
Donut. 73.
Final thought.
The 1st 2/3 of the Gurkha Ghost
Connecticut Asura are almost the
quintessential mild,
approachable, very smokeable
cigar.
Flavour is quite tame on my
palate, with little bits of
light pepper providing A gentle
tingle on my taste buds.
The final third sees things pick
up a bit, almost as a cigar,
knows it has gone easy thus far
and wants to deliver a bit more
flavour and stimulation.
It's not always the cleanest
transition and outcome, but it's
noticeable and keeps the cigar
from being too linear.
Construction is very good on the
whole, though the fragility of
the rapper Lee figures it to be
an issue either throw it's
cracking on its own or when it
comes time to remove the band as
it cause damage to all three
samples.
The Gurkha Ghost Connecticut
Asura.
Is it going to wow the pallet
with complexity or unique
flavors?
But for a mild, approachable and
easygoing cigar, it seems to fit
the bill quite well.
I mean, it's Connecticut.
It's going to be.
A Fred Geely.
Yeah, Fred Geely. 87.
Really. 8680.
Seven.
Whoa.
That's absolutely we.
Only got 1 today.
Donkey.
And Jed, stop.
Drop and roll, stop, drop and
roll 80.
I can't believe.
You even guess that?
I can't believe you panicked
anyone 80. 6 when he said 86 I
was like oh shit and then here.
I am just nailing it.
Here you are just nailing.
It top of the key.
Kobe, I'll retire you tomorrow.
Like LeBron retired last night.
What's that?
I'll retire you.
Tomorrow from it.
Like like LeBron retired last
night, LeBron retired.
Oh yeah, they got swept.
So this.

But he didn't officially
announce it.
He.
Didn't say it.

Article this morning about he.
Has said he needs to spend more
time with his family, so I
assume he's getting ready.
Yeah, I mean he's.
Been doing it.
