ACHP Episode 530 Soccer Cigar

Transcript

Start with boots is the best.

I mean, Phil is the best.

That's not where it is.

Either one.

Welcome to a Cigar House for

podcast episode 530.

I'm Mike Palmer, your friendly

and non confrontational host

engineering today.

Phil.

I just came from a three hour

meeting and boy is he full

because.

He did you just come up with

that?

He.

Was eating, he wasn't actually

at the meeting.

Got it.

Then my Co host Mike.

I forgot the shirt.

Step on Kevage.

Oh wow, I would have solved the

shirt problem.

Why did you, why did you throw

him out there like?

Is that not true?

You forgot the shirt.

I was going back to get the

shirt but.

After you forgot it.

So this is true, it's just just

where it starts.

It stops.

But my guy wanted to get going.

Well, it's not.

Funny if I say and my host Mike,

I forgot the shirt.

I was going to turn around and

get it, but Phil said he needed

to do the meeting early, so he

gave up.

And then Phil's here and I would

have still had time because it's

been an hour since you got here.

First of all, wait, I want to

retract that.

Since I got here.

Only 3045 minutes but I mean he

wasn't here anyway so it doesn't

matter.

That's the thing, I could have

doubled back.

Yeah, you would have technically

had time, the time he arrived.

Well, guess what?

Not quite as funny as just

saying Mike.

I forgot the shirt.

Stefankovic.

Wait, wait, I want to retract

what I said because I don't want

him to attack me today.

You what?

Did you say, well, just for the

record, it doesn't even matter

if I had the shirt because you

don't have the picture?

We have to take the picture and

then it's one hour photo.

I can have it in an hour.

Yeah, but you don't have the

picture, but I can have it in.

I mean, I can say all of these

other things, but then it

wouldn't be funny, right?

No, it's still funny 'cause I

said yesterday we needed the

photo but you guys left.

Yeah, we don't.

This is just like what I just

left.

Except we're not women.

This is exactly it.

Except what people pay to hear.

Except we're not yelling at each

other.

Not.

Yet.

I have a photo, it just doesn't

have him in it.

Remember, watch the last two

episodes of Soon The Beatings

Come with the Belt.

Wow, wow.

I'm wearing diapers.

You're treating us like children

and spanking us with belts.

Apparently the the part of Tia's

pregnancy where Don't Touch Me

is going on now.

Oh, OK.

All right.

In today's show, California has

ties to China Way.

MO can't swim the movie.

The RIP is way too true.

Memphis Grizzlies may have open

tryouts.

Wow.

Then it's cigars.

We have World Cup, We have World

Cup cigars, English cigars and a

special cigar clothing.

Then the show ends with a What's

the score?

Yes, but before we get started,

Some comments from our latest

episode.

Can't wait to hear him.

Team Money Sports.

Phil isn't too.

I got to turn this volume down.

I feel like it's getting louder

in my ear.

It might be if you're sitting on

it.

It says Phil isn't too versed on

the real world anymore.

You need to deposit for tons of

things.

It shows you're serious and not

wasting people's times.

And then with people's time, I

had to put a deposit down for a

tattoo, vet appointment, a

custom pistol, etcetera.

I love how he chose those three

things.

To be fair, his wife probably

takes care of all that and he

has no idea what's going.

On Phil, Yeah.

Yeah, that's actually probably

true.

Or my assistant.

They put down or his assistant

'cause he's basically a large

man baby that doesn't know how

the world.

Works.

Wow.

AT Nargar says damn not Greg is

back.

I am.

And I got news for you.

You didn't.

You didn't misspell Greg and oh,

you know.

Attacking the listeners.

Just for the record, I know that

name Nargars I.

Don't know who it is.

Is that your mom?

No, that's ruckus Unchained.

That's Ruckus Unchained.

Maybe.

Maybe the GARS is the mailman

over here.

Maybe.

Nargars.

Nargars.

My mom said Palmer needs to Fact

Check what he says.

Laugh out loud, shout out from

Ruckus Unchained.

Yes, we know.

Look.

We don't fact.

Here's the reality.

The reality is that Palmer was

going to say whatever he wants

to say, and he's going to say it

with the level of conviction

that we're all going to believe

it unless you check.

So don't.

Check.

So I highly recommend you check.

Don't check, just go with it.

It's more fun.

And I'm going to drift back to

this one from episode 528, Ben

Rowland says 5280 Things people

should know.

That's the number of feet in a

mile, not yards.

Palmer.

Oh, it wasn't about me thinking.

So what did you do on that?

That's when Greg was trying to

metric system was much better

than freedom than.

Freedom.

He's an idiot.

He didn't like freedom

measurements, he doesn't like

the term.

He doesn't like how it's all

random, that it's 12 inches make

a foot, 3 feet make a yard.

And then I went on 2 yards into

miles.

Yeah, yeah, he said Americans

make no sense with freedom.

Anything which I was like, I'm

thinking in my head, I'm like

this guy uses a tape measure to

cut all the wood and like, what

is he talking?

About yeah, maybe he's got a

metric one.

Sometimes he's just angry, man,

you know what I mean.

Yes, he's just angry.

I don't know why he'd be so

angry.

I mean, he's going on great

vacations, got lots of money.

And again on a great vacation.

His mom likes him, his mom a lot

of things.

He doesn't have to get her

anymore.

She comes by train.

Yeah.

Oh yeah.

Train an Uber.

I mean, he could technically not

see her and she could come up

here and leave.

Yeah.

She came into town on Friday and

she said she was so tired so she

didn't go to see any of the kids

football games.

Tired from the train ride?

Yeah, maybe she walked on the

train the entire time.

Yeah.

I want to be first.

I got to go together and I'm

very.

Tired.

I'm tired.

All right, my guys, CW6383 says

the Sumatra is here.

And you are correct, Sir.

Indeed it is.

Look at you.

There it is.

The Churchill is the smoothest

for sure.

I had the grand grand robusto,

Grand Toro.

Grand Toro.

I had the Grand Toro this

morning.

It was very smooth.

It was very good.

Yeah, I like both of them.

I've not smoked the Church Hill

or the Grand Bruce, no.

Well, we haven't swung any

hammers today either.

Yeah, I don't know what that

means, but.

We work in cigars, he works in

construction.

Gotcha.

Well, you know, I would say that

they're available upstairs, but

they're not yet, you know, on.

Camera stop working.

I don't know why.

So weird.

So weird.

I'll make sure you get one at

the end of the show, so.

Did yours?

Thank you, Mikey.

Yours did too, in editing.

CW says I'm not really localish.

I'll pay for shipping if I need

to, Palmer.

I've reached out to him to send

me his address, don't take care

of that.

His address.

I have his address.

Oh, I didn't know.

Yeah, I have his address all

right.

Did he order the hat on the no

Palmer or on the Palmer no

shipping?

He won a hat.

No, but what I'm going to do is

I'll build the link for the

other hat and send it to him and

then just put them both

together.

I forgot he was the one getting

the other.

Hat Yeah, I just, I'll make it

tonight after whatever. 15

games.

So, Phil, don't leave today.

I got to get you to sign his

mask.

Yeah, OK.

If you want to hear your comment

Riddle out, settle out on the

show, comment below on this

episode and it may get settle

out.

It doesn't have to be funny,

could just be a comment.

But we but we prefer funny.

I I prefer you attacking these

two that I'm with.

Oh, why?

Because everyone's attacking you

right now.

You don't want that no more.

Oh, I don't care that that

doesn't bother me at all.

People can attack me all day,

but it bothers you?

Yeah.

Some of them, yeah.

None of them.

OK, so.

No comment from Palmer on that.

OK.

I don't care if they attack me,

I mean what difference does it

make if they enjoy it, let them

go.

As long as they're having fun,

yeah.

Let's take away.

I mean, I purpose I I for the

most part, I don't really engage

on the short comments because a

lot of those are negatives like

OK, like they have no idea

anything about us or the show,

but they chirp about something

I'm like.

Somebody said something on one

of the shorts and I didn't

really understand what their

problem.

Was, yeah.

And that makes sense.

That's usually the way it goes.

Like what are they talking

about?

You know, I like to hear a lot

of Greg jokes in the comments.

Let's do that one.

Well, they say that they like

him.

We know what I'm talking about.

No, don't say that no more.

I want to hear like mean stuff

about.

That mean stuff about triple.

G yeah, Triple G spot.

Triple G spot All right,

everybody, are you?

Are you with?

Us, he's doing his taxes.

No.

That was funny because it was

just sort of out of the blue.

I have, I did a major change on

the site and I'm working on it

and we're at like this, yeah.

Which site you had a little more

specific?

There's a lot of them.

There's the wholesale, there's

the Chapter 5.

Well, to be honest, I'd like I

it's, I'm usually dabbling on

all of them at the same time.

Right now it's the retail site

and I'm working on bringing

everything together.

So it's box 5 pack single gotcha

instead of individual products.

So it was merged and it was a

disaster.

So it's not.

So it's up, but it's messy.

So I'm trying to get it sorted

and you know, this is my life.

It's not and there's nothing

new.

So it is what it is, buddy.

I hate that saying.

That's what it is, buddy.

It is what it is.

It's worth saying on the planet

and for whatever reason, when

Eric Vala da La La la da of

Mirpfell came in, he said it.

And now it's constantly, I

constantly hear it.

Oh, and it's driving me nuts.

The new sales guy that Eric is

that.

Eric National Sales.

I didn't realize he was national

so.

He's the top dog.

Oh, he's a big, big, big deal.

Sometimes I see him and he just

like backs out when he comes

back in.

Hey, how are you doing?

This is this.

And they do.

That I was like a.

Wandering magician.

He likes the magician thing.

I saw the Magician, the PCA by.

The way no that guy is.

AI saw him.

Weird magician.

I saw him in PCA.

He was arrogant.

He's the one that like, acts

like the birds going to come out

of his jacket and it doesn't.

And always like, oh, it's in my

pocket.

Hold on a second.

I like the fact that Phil hates

the mask so much that it's not

on so he refuses to put himself

on camera because.

Right, he would rather not me on

camera.

Than wear the mask.

It's super itchy.

You guys have no idea.

It's actually so this is working

well.

It's working out for.

Us, because we've done

everything for him, we've given

him the camera, we've set him

up, we get him the new masks,

keep it exciting and he just.

I can't do this mask, fellas.

So we just won't set up the

camera next tomorrow?

Yeah, I was going to say next

week, but no, it's tomorrow.

Leave it off.

No, no, no.

I received how?

Does this become about me?

Let's move on.

I've received a message from 13

knives.

Oh, I'm getting one.

He thought 14 Knives was very

funny.

He he enjoyed the joke.

And then he offered to make me

one.

I was like, no, no, no, it's

fine.

It's fine.

It was just for the show.

I'm not mad.

I mean, there's no reason to.

But thank you very much for the

offer.

Why don't I don't get these

messages?

Because you didn't go, you

didn't go to 15 knives and and

promote your knife.

We did.

There was a whole spiel about

all this.

We did a whole joke, Palmer told

me.

He he bought his one, but he

didn't really buy his or

something.

And we started making jokes back

in 14.

Niners I.

You know what, here's what's

funny and everything.

It's like, look, that was very

nice to him to reach out to you.

Right.

Yeah.

Well, he thought it was funny.

He thought the bit was funny.

Yeah.

And look like he gets it.

We're we're trying to help him.

Yeah, right.

Yeah.

Which is a dope knife.

Well our our Bahama friend wants

1 so I've connected them.

He's going to be making one for

him.

There you go.

Yeah, perfect.

He thought we sold them

wholesale and he was like, what

is the price for that?

I will buy them.

I'm like.

That's alright, we're not doing

that.

Yeah, this was a gift.

I'm sorry, we're not in the

knife business.

No, right.

No, that's that's pretty funny.

Yeah, it was.

It was entertaining.

I will buy one.

I hope he gets good business

off, but you know.

Yeah, yeah, me too.

Yeah.

They're great, nice, and nobody

got squeezed.

We didn't say, well, to promote

it, it's going to be blah, blah,

blah.

He just did a good thing, right?

And then we did a good thing.

Yep, so.

All right, California mayor

resigns after being charged with

acting as an illegal agent of

China.

Surprise, surprise.

What is going on?

Eileen Wang, that's a real name,

has agreed to plead guilty as

she faces up to 10 years in

prison, according to federal

prosecutors.

They say she secretly worked to

advance pro Beijing messaging in

the US, allegedly spreading

propaganda tied to the Chinese

government.

We're not asking leaving.

We're not asking leaving.

You should buy Chinese products,

they're very good.

Think about how did how did how

did these people get into

office?

I don't get.

It I know, I mean.

There was definitely some hands

greased.

Oh, you think the getter elected

mayor?

They're not saying what city,

just a California mayor, right?

Not saying what city.

And that's only how many

resignations there are.

This is.

Wang I feel like I could run for

mayor and get it.

Here.

Probably not.

Here.

Wherever.

Oh, somewhere else?

Maybe somewhere?

Else like where I live.

Where you live in Seminole

County?

Oh yeah.

It's good.

I feel like I could get it.

Then you should.

Who's your man now?

For you and he doesn't need to

live.

In your account, I'm going to

tell you like, I would do it and

then I would just see what I

could get away with.

I would just not wear pants

ever.

I mean, the pantsless, man, Like

like a suit.

I'd had the jacket and then just

like briefs.

And you only have the one suit,

so nobody would.

Yeah, it'd be the same thing

like now.

You don't need it then.

Don't.

Don't talk to him.

Don't.

Don't, don't.

Tell I'm sorry, are you looking

at something like?

Make a boxer, Bruce.

Like boxer briefs, OK.

Yeah, well, you just said

briefs, so I thought it was a

tiny Whitey game.

It's not tight.

I don't I don't know what mine

are called that I use.

They're they're boxer briefs.

Are you?

Do you want to show us?

No.

I mean I.

Don't know.

I don't know how you want us to

help.

I'm pretty sure I know what they

are.

They're boxer briefs.

They're boxer briefs.

Are they thongs?

Stop.

Yeah.

Thong to Tong Tong.

Now available chapter pod my.

Face Thong.

My face on your way.

After you wear them, put them in

a Ziploc bag.

We'll sell them that way.

There you go.

They are scented as Mikey.

Mayor, mayor, mayor, Mayor.

Step on Kevitch.

Oh, watch the news, try to say

your name.

Well, you have to say, Mayor

Mikey, step on Kevitch, 'cause

there's another step on Kevitch.

I don't.

Think they're going to think

it's the triple.

G he doesn't qualify.

He'll he'll be out of the

country.

Yeah.

Like he's, you know?

Yeah, he'd be the illegal one.

He's in Antarctica.

He's going to Antarctica.

He probably is.

That's probably next.

Antarctica.

He wants to go fight with the

polar bears.

Oh my.

God, oh, that doesn't go well.

Yeah, we've seen the video that.

Doesn't go well.

That doesn't work out his favor.

I don't know.

They don't lock their doors

there in case you have to run

and hide.

That's not in Antarctica, that's

in Alaska.

No, in Antarctica they do too.

And they're people that live in

Antarctica.

Sure.

There's the stations there.

The the, the I can't think of

where we're going.

Stations.

No, no, they're the.

Go.

Ahead.

Well, they do all the all the

tests.

And stuff all the time.

All the tests, all the tests,

they just live in Santa.

Claus Stations.

And the experiments and.

Things and the experiments, yes.

On like the aliens or what?

OK, when you're talking, I will

look up the number of people

that live in Antarctica.

No, I'll look it up, don't

worry.

OK, you look it up.

Yeah, yeah.

The Norad 51.

Yeah, let me ask how many people

live in Antarctica?

Santa Claus.

There's actually people that

live in Antarctica, true.

There is people that live

everywhere.

I wanna hear the number.

What do you think?

1000.

How many people?

10,000.

You went the wrong way.

Less than 1000.

People, there's 1300 people.

Dang, that's it. 1300 people.

And they don't lock their doors.

They're frozen, chant.

Ask it, ask it.

Ask it if they lock if they lock

their doors.

Do people in Antarctica lock

their doors?

They.

Probably don't live in

buildings.

Do you want me to use chat TPT

for this?

Yes, I do the timu of AI.

Wow.

Hey chat, TPT works well.

Yeah, I like chat TPT.

You just got to train it.

In Antarctica, particularly in

research stations like those.

Research stations.

McMurdo or Amundsden Scott doors

are generally not locked.

This is largely due to safety

concerns.

Keeping doors unlocked allows

quick access in case of

emergencies like severe weather

or accidents.

Polar bears In a small close

knit communities where everyone

knows each other, there's little

concern about the theft making

locked doors unnecessary.

So now here's what we need to

do.

So I was.

Right.

You were kind of right.

You talked about, you said polar

bears.

That is not.

They said in.

Emergency situations If a polar

bears chasing you, pretty much

an emergency situation.

It said more like severe weather

conditions.

Well, that too, yeah.

What do?

We need to do.

Listen, here's what I'm going to

tell you.

First of all, I'm going to give

you the West on this one, OK?

Because you're constantly

attacked, right?

You're constantly attacked.

Everybody tells you you're wrong

all the time.

And you were right, right.

So there you go.

OK, first and foremost, All

right?

Second thing, we can go into

Antarctica, right?

And then become like friends

with everybody and just take all

of their stuff in like like

Grinch style, like on one night.

Where are we gonna go with it?

Just to to Mikey's mayor.

House and then just go.

Mikey's mayor of Antarctica?

Yeah.

Oh, then why did why did you do

it?

Because the doors were unlocked.

I mean, what did you want from

me?

It's not breaking and entering.

I get this really nice

clipboard.

He got a camera.

Yeah, I got this.

He got a big flashlight.

Polar bear coat.

It's still it's, it's still

highly illegal to do that.

By the way, I know that you

you're.

In Antarctica.

Where you live in this this

fantasy world that you can just

walk in if the door is unlocked,

it's OK and it's not illegal.

It's definitely still breaking

the law.

Yeah, tomato, Tomato.

OK, no, that's not how that

works.

Breaking and entering.

Not breaking and entering.

No.

No such law in Antarctica.

There's only 1300 people.

OK, All right.

So we're leaving China.

We're done.

We're done with the Chinese

story.

It's week 1, here we go.

Mayor Wang.

Mayor Wang, she's going to jail

for maybe 10 years.

Whatever.

Which type of jail?

A Chinese gym.

Somehow we started in Cali and

we wound up in Antarctica, but

whatever.

Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know how we.

Way MO is recalling its massive

fleet of autonomous vehicles

over a defect that may post

significant safety risk.

All right, what do you think it

is now that they can't do so?

We've already had the problem

where if the power goes out and

the red lights don't work, they

don't know what to do.

OK, So what do you think the new

problem is?

They can't make U turns.

Phil over there knocking Flint

and something together.

What a years ago?

Yeah, I got to have this, these

two rocks.

What was the original problems?

If the power goes out in the

city, they don't know what to do

with the stop light, so they

just stop.

Oh yeah, these are the automated

cars.

Yeah, way MO.

Maybe a child runs out in front

of the car.

No, I think it does a good job

of that I would assume.

All right, due to a software

defect that could allow robo

taxis to drive into flooded

roads, they don't know what to

do when the road is flooded, so

they go faster.

That's.

Amazing, that's what I do when I

see a puddle.

That is amazing.

This is flooded, not just a

puddle, so they go faster and

then they crash.

They crash into the water.

Well, they crash either into or

out of the water, one of the

other.

Yeah, but where are these?

Where are these cars located

While?

In Orlando.

What type of flooding is there?

When it rains here, what do you

want?

Type of flooding serious.

Is there flooding like that

where you could crash in the

water and die?

Of course.

Who said die?

Well, it sounded like it.

They're recalling 3791 vehicles.

I'm very convincing.

He's gonna die.

That's over.

That's almost triple the

population of Antarctica.

That's right.

The recall follows incidents of

vehicles entering or failing to

stop for high speed flooded

areas.

The action allows an indecent or

incident in which a driverless

vehicle failed to come to a

complete stop after encountering

flooded road conditions on a

high speed roadway.

You should have gone with them

decent.

What's the lawsuit look like on

that?

You know what I mean?

It depends on who they who

they've hit.

I'm sure there's a checkbox.

No, no, no, no.

I'm sure there's a checkbox when

you get in there when you ask

for the ride that says I have no

rights.

If you die, if you aren't alive,

you're there's nothing you can

do.

Yeah, yeah, there's no way.

They probably, there's probably

some lawsuits already.

I would.

Assume.

Oh, I'm.

I'm sure somebody has.

Morgan.

Morgan's all over that.

I like, yeah, I like to see the.

Waymos.

We call them death boxes.

Call us now.

Call us now I.

Call us now for the people.

Not the robot.

You find yourself in a lake with

a Waymo.

Has anybody looked at this stock

on this company?

Like are they making money?

No.

Has anybody been in one yet?

No, no, I saw, I've seen them.

Yeah, I've seen them.

I've seen one.

I've not been.

In one they still have did.

Did we ride in one in Vegas last

time I was in Vegas?

No.

No, through the tunnel.

No, I thought.

We the tunnel was closed.

The tunnel was closed.

Oh.

Because we really wanted to ride

it, remember?

Yeah.

But I went down there.

I'm like, this is cool.

And there was nobody there.

Probably could have just walked

in there.

Oh, stop me.

Well that's the tunnel where the

cars going the same way, so like

4 of them go and then they turn

around they all because there's

only one tunnel.

Right, we should, we should go

ride one in Orlando.

They have a tunnel in Orlando,

no?

No, no, the cars.

The way MO.

Well, they have. 3791 have been

recalled.

There might not be any in

Orlando.

That's a problem.

You think this is something they

would have they would have

checked for, you know, like the

street lights or the the stop

lights?

You know, look, I don't entirely

agree with that statement.

Yeah, you got to work through

the kinks.

Man, yeah, the reality is that

you're not going to catch all of

it, and there's going to be

things you don't see coming and

you just got to pivot, adjust

and fix, I guess.

I'm so glad I have these

headphones though because I just

caught him with a little

undertone statement.

What did you say I.

Don't know, but it was funny at

the time.

Oh.

Man, I don't even remember why I

said yeah.

I'm sure somebody will comment.

Somebody will say something at

2459.

No, not quite.

Well, yeah, it was before that.

Adjusted minutes, buddy.

But you know what?

Antarctica.

I guess we're going to add it to

stuff you didn't understand.

But Antarctica came up because

you guys are talking about

Greg's vacation.

Yeah, All right, We're moving

on.

Moving.

All right.

Two South Florida police

officers claim Ben Affleck and

Matt Damon's recent action

thriller The RIP.

Has anybody seen it?

Great movie.

I've heard I started watching it

I didn't like.

It it was predictable.

I've heard the controversy of

this.

Well, you know why it's

predictable?

Because they use too many real

life details in the

fictionalized narrative, causing

harm to the officers personal

and professional reputations.

The two officers that they

followed around getting

information for the movie are

suing them because they use the

information for the movie.

It doesn't work that way.

Yeah, I don't know what kind of

releases they signed, but

apparently they use too close to

real life.

I mean, yeah, but if you looked

like OK, it would have to be

virtually identical.

Yeah, I mean, you know, they,

they, they have started a

defamation lawsuit.

Yeah, there's also legality

things with police officers.

There's like certain things you

can't use.

The idea of the movie was that

they were stealing money or

something from drug dealers or

something.

No, no, there there are corrupt

cops, but the way that it

without ruining the movie,

there's a way of.

Spoiler alert.

OK, now you can do whatever.

You want, there's a way of

looking at it where you don't

know if this guy's a good cop or

a bad cop, but if you if you've

seen a few movies, you pick

right up on all of them.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Oh, is this the one with the

Mexican cartel?

Yes.

Oh, I've seen the movie.

Yeah, it's a good movie.

I sure didn't like it.

I didn't like.

Yeah, you're just grumpy though.

No, no, no it's not.

I'm not a big fan of Ben Affleck

to start with.

He makes make great movies.

Name 1.

Yeah, name 1.

Batman.

Yeah, that's a terrible version

of Ben.

Yeah, I, I, you know, I got

caught like a deer in the

headlights on that one for.

How about goodwill hunting?

Yep.

OK, you can't do the first one

they ever.

Made How about the accountant?

Bourne series.

Ben Affleck was not in the

Bourne.

No, you said Matt Damon.

No, I said Ben Affleck.

I said Ben Affleck.

Oh, Ben Affleck, he makes all

the great Dunkin' Donuts

commercials.

I like Ben Affleck.

I don't like Ben Affleck.

He's a great, He's a great.

He's a great actor.

What's the one?

The oceans?

Weren't they in the oceans

together?

No, Ben Affleck was not in

Oceans.

He directed it.

He was in Flash.

'Cause he was Batman again.

OK Air.

He was great in there.

He played Buck Knight.

Yep, Buck Knight, baby.

He's never watched it 'cause

it's a sports movie.

No, no I didn't.

Man, Damon did a better job of

that movie.

What?

But Ben Affleck played Buck

Knight?

Great.

How about the?

Guy that gave the amazing

speech.

How about the last duel?

That was pretty good.

Was that that looked terrible.

Yeah, that was a good. 10 It was

a good movie.

Townies.

Townies.

Oh, you're talking about

Jamestown.

Yeah, that.

Was oh with his brother.

That was a great movie.

Yeah.

What was the one where they were

in Boston?

The town.

It was the town.

Yeah, it was Batman.

Everything was Batman.

Smoking Aces.

I mean, this guy's been in a ton

of movies.

Yeah, that doesn't make him

good.

Does.

It mean Daredevil.

He was great in Daredevil.

Oh, that's a terrible.

Movie.

You're a terrible person.

No, I'm not Pearl Harbor.

Yes, that's why we have spam.

The accent was terrible.

Jay and Silent Bob strike back.

He was silent.

He didn't have a line.

Boiler Room.

Yes.

Boiler Room.

I'm not familiar.

With that, Oh my God.

And his speech in that movie was

great.

You never watch the boiler room.

I said I'm not familiar with it,

I haven't seen it.

Money doesn't buy you happiness

and he throws his keys to the

Ferrari on the table.

Ear to ear, baby.

Yeah, he was in Pearl Harbor.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's why we have Spam.

Terrible accent.

Though Armageddon.

Yes.

Guys, OK.

Everybody cries.

Come on, is that name of a?

Movie.

Everybody cries.

I don't.

Want to miss a thing?

Yeah, when you watch it, you

know that he's going to.

Bruce Willis is going to die,

you cry.

School ties.

My familiar.

Brandon No, this is that's an

old movie.

Yeah.

He was in Fields of Dreams.

Great movie.

Was he the kid?

I'm sorry, I've seen that. 600

times, yeah.

He was the child.

He was the child.

He must have been the.

Kid, that was.

Him in 1989.

Yeah, it's definitely a Kevin

Costner.

Listen, we can't even hear.

The dreams?

No, let's build that.

They will come.

That's the baseball movie, Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, Ray, Ray Liotta's.

See the problem is Kevin Costner

had like 12 different baseball

movies so it's hard to follow.

It's either baseball or G1 of

the other he's always done.

They're great movies, but

they're all the.

Same.

They're all the same movie with

a different name.

Yeah.

Except Yellowstone.

He fucked that up, Taylor shared

and said no problem and you're

dead.

Well, it was the end of the.

We're going to Texas.

That's supposed to start next

week.

Yeah, OK.

I'm getting tired of Marshall.

It's.

I don't even watch it.

I don't know what what article

you're on, but we should just

keep it moving.

Memphis Grizzly.

Ford, Brandon.

Clark, can't believe you brought

this up.

My.

Son was a.

Sports story there was on the

radio this morning.

Yeah.

But the way that you titled this

in the beginning was bad.

That gets people to listen.

His agency in NBA said to.

NBA said Tuesday he was 29.

Neither the Grizzlies nor the

Clark's agents elite agency

Priority Sports provided any

details about his death.

LAPD sources confirm ABC News

that Clark was found dead from a

possible drug overdose Monday in

his home located in Los Angeles,

San Francisco.

Narcotics were found at the.

Los Angeles, San Francisco.

San San Fernando.

Sorry, San Fernando.

Close enough.

Valley sarcotics were found at

the scene and there was no

evidence of foul play.

We just merged 2 cities.

Well, they weren't sure where he

was.

ABC News in Los Angeles first

reported details surrounding

Clark's death Tuesday.

The Grizzly said in a statement

that they are heartbroken by the

tragic loss of Clark.

Brandon was an outstanding

teammate and even better person

whose impact on the organization

and the greater Memphis

community will not be.

Forgotten.

Yeah.

Man that's terrible dude.

Yeah. 29 Holy moly.

He was a good, he was a good

role player.

What'd you say?

Drugs will do that to you.

And, well, allegedly, because

you don't know for a fact what

happened, what went down.

He was also arrested this past

April 1st in Arkansas for

speeding possession of a

controlled substance.

Which one?

Yeah, they didn't indicate what

the substance was.

Reportedly, kratom, an herbal

supplement promoted as an

alternative pain remedy that

becomes illegal in Tennessee and

July 1st.

He was released on bond a day

later.

I don't understand the kratom 1

like.

It knocks you out.

It's like potpourri.

Slows you down.

What a shame man.

You know, like every year.

I just saw this awesome video

with Michael Beasley.

I thought you got to see Ben

Affleck.

You know who Michael Beasley is?

Yeah, Mr. Homeless now.

Mr. Homeless now, Yeah.

And he was, I think he was

talking to Shannon Sharpe, I

think, and it was about D Rose

and and him and they and he

goes, look, man, 60 people make

it into the NBA every year.

Of that, 20 of them instantly

get cut, right?

Right.

So you're talking about a pool

of about 40 people that made

into the NBA when this kid made

it in.

And to go through that, to work

your ass off to get to that

level and to have something like

this on so unfortunate happened

to you, that's just a damn

shame, man.

Yeah, it's easy when you're

being shovelled a lot of money,

right?

Yeah.

You not have access.

Well, cause money, you know,

money buys the drugs and the

people that you're probably

partnering with.

Cause a lot of those guys party

'cause they're a professional

sports player.

They're just in that world.

You know, it's, it's, it's

probably pretty easy to do, but

you know, they got to stick the

line.

It just sucks to see someone so

young with so much opportunity

and and them losing their life

at such an early age.

Michael Beasley was the guy you

were just talking about.

He's super lucky that he hasn't

died yet because that guy is an

NBA champion, but he lives on

the street.

Yeah, you could tell that guy

was.

He's not still an NBA champion,

is he?

No.

You can tell he's a.

No, he hasn't.

No, he has a ring.

Well, he may not have the ring

anymore.

He might have sold it for crack

because that's he he was doing

crack.

The way you said it made it

sound like he's still playing

basketball.

He just doesn't go home, he goes

to the streets.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

He's.

You start listening to Tori and

you and you hear about all these

people that take advantage of

these players as they're coming

up and it's just terrible, man.

I'm like God damn.

Yeah.

Another basketball player died.

I didn't pull the story the.

Yeah, Collins, Jason Collins.

Yeah, how do you?

Die for they didn't.

I don't think they really

mention it because the headline

with him is he was the first

openly gay NBA player.

Yeah, that was the headline.

Well, I hope it wasn't suicide

or something man.

He's young, so I mean, it's

it's, yeah, I don't know.

It didn't.

It didn't.

It didn't specify that.

The pictures he didn't look as

young as the other guy.

I think he was in his 30s or

early 40s.

Yeah, I was gonna say I thought

it was 30s or 40s.

Man, it's still pretty, you

know?

That's art, you know, That's me

and Mikey's age.

So that's old.

I mean, not like my friend over

here for the US Mail, but.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's just terrible, dude.

You better give me something

light.

I need to give me something, you

know?

What's the next article?

Cigar News.

He might not like it.

Here it comes.

Do you have a video?

I do.

Is it a light video?

It can be.

We can talk about your video

from yesterday.

They've released more

information about that guy.

What?

Oh, the plane guy, Yeah.

Oh, there's a follow up.

It was suicide.

No, Yeah, yeah.

Like you didn't know that.

Jump in.

Front of a plane?

Yeah.

And we jump in front of a plane.

Suicide by plane, Yeah.

I didn't see this plane coming

down.

And it was a frontier, it was

Colorado.

It was a frontier airline, not a

Delta plane.

They're about to go back, grow.

His frontier.

He died of reoccurring head

trauma.

Oh.

God, it's not.

It's it's.

I know it's much faster.

So you're saying that they his

body was intact?

Yeah, it sounds like it just

whacked him in the head several

1000 times.

Wow.

Suicide, huh?

Yep, that's what.

They're saying no, no,

unplanned.

I sent you a video.

We did, you know, if you watch

our episode from that day,

you'll see all the ways that we

talk about we could go.

Yeah, nobody commented on that.

I thought there would be

comments.

I thought mine was definitely

getting comments but Nope it's

not.

Oh, I saw this.

OK.

Yeah, I'd like to talk about

this.

This is definitely Patreon

content, however we've already

recorded the Patreons A.

Very important question for you.

Tell me.

So how do you like my new

haircut?

I I call it reggaeton fresh.

You know I'm.

Glad you asked me about.

That I happen to be very partial

to it myself.

Dare I say it's attractive?

You dare.

So do you have a question for

me?

In fact, I do.

I was going to ask you in this

new chapter of your journey in

the cigar business, what is the

most exciting part of it?

Family.

Family.

But you said a couple of months

ago before the PCA show, we were

at the corner having lunch and I

said to you, what do you think

of Jay says?

He said, I love what you're

doing with your boy.

I love that piece of what you're

doing with your family in this

next chapter.

And I've always said to you when

I see you with your son, that's

that one feeling I get of what I

want with my JD too.

Like the way you're always with

him and doing great.

Things I.

Haven't seen this.

Love you.

All right, I'll start with you

'cause I'm, I can, I can feel

Mike on the other side over

here.

In the beginning, it's kind of

awkward seeing these two just,

like, sitting there, just kind

of disgusting.

But it gets pretty deep, you

know?

Like now they're.

Yeah.

Like they're talking about I,

I'm guessing he's referring to

all the trips that Booth's going

on with his family and stuff

like that, Right?

I don't think so, but OK.

They're talking about Sans's new

cigars and stuff, yeah.

Oh, I thought it said something

about his.

Boy, yeah, he asked, or Booth

said that he likes that he's

doing something with his son,

right?

I think that's very exciting.

Is this cigar with his son?

Sons and Sons is the name.

Of the Welcome to the Cigar

House's podcast.

We've been talking about this

for about 3 months.

Sons and Sons is his new cigar

brand.

Oh, so it was confirmed we were

talking about him?

He's got a.

Confirmed he's already put out

cigars.

Yeah, we we have talked about

this.

I don't remember him having a

new company.

I remember we were talking about

why is he doing this?

He's.

Opening up a retail location,

he's going direct to consumer

and he's going to make special

products for people.

His own brand.

His own brand sell other cigars

and you can rent the place out

and have parties there.

I'm sorry anyways.

OK.

So, so you're excited, you're

OK.

No, I'm not.

I'm not excited.

Yeah, no, it just, it looks like

you're like it was.

It got deep.

No, I mean, it looked like it

was getting deep.

But I mean, if we're if, if

that's what they're talking

about, then yeah, he's creating

his own brain.

He's still doing it.

That's what he's doing.

He's marketing.

OK, Palmer.

There's several things.

OK yes.

Can they not make all?

I'm trying to be nicer though,

but this is.

Look, just apologize now.

Just just hey, listen.

I apologize now.

Yeah, I'm.

Very sorry, we're sorry we have

an opinion about.

That very sorry, we have an

opinion and then I get everybody

else in the room to be quiet

while they make their.

Video.

Oh my God, 100%.

Can they not get microphones?

Off the jump, OK, Yes, correct.

Correct.

OK, OK.

I didn't understand that or I

didn't realize.

I don't even know what they call

them now.

Mr. Sons was built that way.

He's got like a large head, tiny

shoulders and his arms and legs

were skinny.

Is that because he's wearing a

skinnier?

Shirt, I guess because I've

never seen him in shorts and AT

shirt definitely he's wearing

more flamboyant.

Something baggier.

Yeah, Yeah.

That's.

What?

Whoa.

Whoa.

Whoa.

Not flamboyant?

Yeah.

Well, I'm, yeah, flashier.

Flashier.

Flamboy.

Does that mean flashier?

It could.

It doesn't have to be gay.

That's what you're saying.

I.

Didn't say that.

Yeah, relax.

I didn't say that over there.

Homophobia.

I didn't say that.

Listen, I'm tired of this

homophobia.

No kidding, and it's hard to

tell if it was scripted or not.

You saw him in a bathing suit.

It was hard to tell.

You think it was hard to tell?

Part of it has to be, but then

some of it wasn't, and it's not.

I mean, not like they're reading

a teleprompter and they had cue

cards, OK.

I mean, that's a lot of memory

to OK.

You think Matt Booth will read

scripts?

No, I thought more the other guy

was that was the one that was

the other guy.

Like a better word, a little

dry.

Like how you say the other guy.

OK, the other guy, Mr. Mr. Sawn.

Is it Drew?

Is it Drew?

JD?

Mr. Sawn?

This is Mr. Sawn Johnson.

I have no idea what his name.

Is you know what, we're just

going to dub him the new guy.

OK.

The other guy.

OK, OK, Why?

I agree with a lot of things

that you're saying.

OK, OK.

And anything else, Barbara,

because Mikey's chomping out

the.

Bed to get his stuff off his

head.

Wait, let's, let's interact.

Here, because some of those

things were 100% action.

Those are the things that like

what?

No, Mike's like what?

What?

Yeah, like can I get a two shot

out of this?

You know, like something

something.

Right.

No, we write this out.

And I don't know, Soda Cam, I

don't know what's going on in

the background, but like, yeah,

somebody's negotiating

something.

He's doing ordering her lunch or

something.

I don't.

I don't.

Yeah.

And I'm like, OK, all right.

And.

You can't go.

I'm sorry.

We're doing a video.

Can you please just keep it

down?

Forgive us 5 minutes.

Yeah.

To clear the room.

The haircut thing.

Super.

Weird.

So, so it was like it was set up

so that there was 2 questions

asked, right?

Right.

Mr. Son asked his question.

Do you like my hair?

Right, Rigaton, whatever.

Right.

OK.

And then and then Matt had to

ask this like an in depth

question about this business,

right, right.

It's you took the most, you took

the guy that was the most

authentic and would say whatever

how he felt at any given moment.

And you and and people gravitate

towards that because of it's

authenticity.

Talking about Matt now, Yeah,

OK.

Yeah, the poop guy.

And you put him in a box with a

frigging question that he had to

ask you that did not look

genuine.

No right.

And and if you look at Matt, the

poor guy, you could he's like,

if he's not himself, no, he's

not himself.

The one of.

Them were, I mean Jonathan or

the other guy, he, he does

videos off the cuff all the

time.

They couldn't have just done

that.

That would have been perfect.

That's what they had.

To do.

Could you show us an example,

Palmer?

What he does, No.

That would have been.

Perfect video we mocked

yesterday where he I've smoked

two boxes of these already.

It was 3 by the way.

You say 3 something.

You did the voice.

I know that you're going for

that, but we're I'm staying on

track with this.

Very good.

Like, yeah, I mean, one of the

of the best things to do with

Matt.

Is let him be mad.

Is to let him be mad.

Right.

Hey bro, what's up?

You know, just whatever you

could have winged 45 seconds of

nothing.

Oh, he could have winged 45

minutes of.

Nothing and it would have been

hilarious and you could have

dabbled in about you could have

did your little plug if you

wanted to.

You could have told him, Here's

what I want us to talk.

About hey, now go.

All you got to say is, hey, are

you excited about me building

this?

And boom, you would have heard

it.

Oh, I'm so excited.

I can't stand that.

You have no idea how extremely

hard my nipples are at the fact

you know what I mean.

Like that's what.

That's what Matt does.

And then it would have been

like, Oh my God.

This is great, right?

This is great.

But instead you put it in a box

and now it has 0 authenticity

like you can't do that.

Nope, you can't do that.

They put a saddle.

I expect better from you, John.

They.

Put a saddle on Matt Booth.

I expect better from you.

Yeah, we don't.

You don't saddle Matt.

Saddle Matt Booth, Yeah.

You don't, no.

You let him Booth.

You let Booth booth, right?

Love a guy.

So yeah, I'm sure we'll get a

message on that one, so I'm

sorry.

But look, it's him.

Who do you think you're going to

get the message from?

Booth Well, JD lost my number

probably 15, probably 15 years

ago, but he'll he might chime in

on a short.

Well, that's not his name

anymore.

Maybe.

Sometimes.

Whoever you are.

So there's.

Tons.

Other guys.

Look the second guy, look all

I'm saying.

Is a rigaton that's a dude named

Mr. Rigaton.

You know, I like that one,

Rigaton.

Rigaton Hair.

Even though it's reggaeton, but

we'll go over you.

Just got to let him cook bro.

Just.

Let him do it.

I text Matt, I said.

I'm talking about this and

you're going to be mad, but then

you're going to have to get over

it because we're friends and

what do you say?

He didn't respond.

Must have been a meeting.

Probably busy, yeah.

This might have been what he was

doing when we were trying to do

the the Little Debbie cakes.

I called him yesterday.

He didn't answer.

I was going to say, what the

hell was that it?

Looks like this was a piece.

This wasn't a PC.

AI assume it was.

Yeah, no.

You know the thing I was where

is it going to find a stage?

Probably at son and son's events

and that was at the.

Store could have been that rest

Yeah, just walking around with

that gold thing in his car.

And I don't.

Yes, and I don't know how

somebody doesn't.

And that was the big.

One like, hey, we're doing a

recording.

Yeah, sure.

This is a minute and 15 seconds,

right?

You don't have to unpack now,

right?

Put the glassware back down.

Right.

Like just can you just right for

one.

Where is Sons and Sons Event

Center located in Miami?

Miami Wood in South Florida.

Really wood?

Yeah.

OK.

So that was, that was, that was

terrible.

That was, I expect, bad.

Why does nobody have a

microphone that likes to make

videos?

Why does nobody call these

people out on this shit?

That's what I don't understand.

Everybody's like, oh, that's the

best.

Oh, Oh my God, no, it wasn't.

It wasn't even close.

Wait, wait, wait.

Who was that?

What's that?

That's that's the what'd you do

The lip thing?

The fanboys, the.

Fanboys, they go, oh this is

hilarious.

Look at the two of them.

Like no, it was.

He said Rigaton, Yeah.

You know what the problem is

about the microphone?

Tell me.

Is that everybody uses the same

damn microphone.

No, nobody has one.

No, you can hear them.

You can hear when people talk.

You can, yeah.

There's an echo.

Yeah, because they probably have

one off the they use the camera.

Yeah, they use the one on the

camera.

They just use their phone, dude,

you can attach the mics to the

phone, right?

Listen, look, he can.

He can have a guy with a camera

following him around.

Yeah, he can.

They can probably do it for a

box of cigars, you know what I

mean?

Like there are, there are there

are people out here that will do

that.

If he's going to do this kind of

stuff, get the equipment there

in your little entertainment

area.

Just have it.

Just have it there.

Get a DJI Osmo Pocket 3, get 2

mics and you're done.

There you go, and you're ready.

600 bucks.

Don't tell everybody how to do

their.

Own podcast, I thought he I am

going to tell people how to do

stuff.

You want to know why?

Because we need more good

content in this industry.

We need to grow this industry.

I I agree.

I agree.

And we can't do it by ourselves.

Well, we're.

We're doing 5 shows a week.

Yeah, we're doing it kind of

like that.

Can't we keep doing?

Yeah, seven days a week.

We're technically 6.

All right, but I can critique

and help people get better.

Two shows a day we got to start

doing 2 shows a day there's.

No way.

A little.

Morning show and a night.

Show let me tell you something.

Right now, Podcast after dark.

Don't you tempt me.

And we don't wear clothes.

Because that's where you lost

me.

Yeah.

Don't you tempt me because, you

know, like it wasn't that long

ago where we said doing every

day, every weekdays, Yeah.

But we know you're not coming in

on the weekend.

Yeah, you're not, and you're not

coming here at night.

Yeah, I'll zoom in.

You got.

Sports.

I'm not coming here at night.

You know what I wouldn't mind

doing the zoom one.

Like off my patio.

I'm on the field right now.

Hold on a minute, run.

Right.

Let me see all.

Right.

Sorry, Preston.

All right, back to you guys.

I need a spread tight 91 Larry.

Larry.

Zone.

Well, I want you roll out left.

We're looking at why on this

one.

We're looking at why that was

actually a legit conversation,

legit play.

So, yeah, OK.

All right, cigar news.

Oh, here we go.

Ahead of the 2026 World Cup,

there's a new Placencia cigar

arriving in stores.

So we've got the top of the

mountain, the bottom of the

mountain, the World Cup, the

volcano, and now we have on the

soccer field.

On the soccer.

Field the six and a quarter by

54 Toro extra that uses a

wrapper from Finca La Tradicion

in the Hamistran Valley of

Honduras and a binder from Finca

San Augustine from Olancho,

Honduras.

OK, that sounds like a lot.

It doesn't a lot.

The fillers come from Finca La

Tradicion and Halapa, Nicaragua,

But since he says that a single

pair of workers at its Tabaco de

Oriente factory and Donnelly and

Honduras rolled every cigar.

OK, just two people's.

Just two people.

Two people's one.

Pair well, hey, you know, if

anything screwed up, we know

exactly who to go to.

True, something wrong with the

cigars.

Not like we got to guess who

made it right?

Hey, Frank, you're in trouble.

Frank, Frank.

Well, I didn't want to say, oh,

because you guys say I'm racist.

You are.

Juan and Maria.

Yeah, I didn't want to say

anything like that.

Rosalita and what's the lady?

Who's your salesperson?

She doesn't sound racist.

She doesn't sound.

Racist.

She doesn't.

Sound racist enough?

Her name's Franchet.

It's not Spanish at all.

Well, that could be Spanish.

No, it's not even close.

All right, E cigars and MSRPF

special soccer type cigars,

gentlemen.

I think the last one was like

125 bucks or something.

Like that, the green one?

This one's green also, but it's

in a square.

I'm gonna go with 125. $45. 5999

Congratulations.

They made 5000 numbered boxes of

10 cigars.

Really.

One guy and one girl. 5000

boxes.

You're assuming it's a girl.

Usually it is.

Well, yes, but it, you know,

could.

Be a flame this day and age.

You never know, of course.

Just be a regular man.

That's very.

Meticulous man is true.

Yeah, that does a really good

job.

Yeah, who am I to judge and who

are you to judge, man?

Who is he to?

Judge.

Who is he to judge?

Keep me out of this.

He's a judger.

He's judging, Yeah, No, The

company says this is the first

time it has released a cigar

that has organic tobacco from

Honduras and Nicaragua.

In the middle of the earth.

Yes, this is the one from the

soccer field.

OK.

Crown Heads is entering the UK

market.

That was it.

That was done Well, yeah.

What else you want to talk

about?

We made fun of the names.

We we guessed the price.

We talked about the cigar, said

what's in?

It.

Yeah.

What else you want?

Yeah, go ahead it.

Was kind of like a bad preview,

like you were really like up on

it and then all of a sudden it

just ended.

OK, and that's a short story,

right?

What you want the quote from the

guy?

It makes no sense.

We've never heard of him before.

Yeah.

What do you want to?

Yeah.

What's his name?

I've taken the quotes out of

most of the articles because

they're usually just.

This is great.

I really like.

It we have worked tirelessly on

this blend.

Stuff every time.

After decades of effort, we have

created the soccer, the

football.

The.

Football, the football.

I do like the Alleva.

Soccer box, I'm sure you can get

it.

It's garbage for $4.

Really.

I don't want one, I just thought

it was it was unique, something

different.

We want it's garbage.

What?

The hell you are.

And then our new Executive

manager, Mike, the mailman

running the cameras moving

forward.

Hey, can you come in every day

at noon?

That would be perfect.

So let me ask you.

Retired.

You're retired, you just got a

lot of free time.

You can ask one question, What?

I'm, I'm kind of puzzled by

Oliva coming out with the soccer

ball because they have never had

something like that before,

right?

For for FIFA.

OK.

Right.

So, but the Placencia, this is

like kind of their thing every

year.

OK, So what happens?

What happens with most

companies?

Think.

Let's think about this.

But why didn't Placencia come

out with something like?

That OK, so something is working

for a company.

So what do you do?

You try.

You bite off of it.

You try and make it better by

putting it in the crazy wooden.

Soccer.

Soccer ball.

Yeah, it's kind of like the year

of, right.

The year of did well for one

company and then now we announce

75 year of at the beginning of

every year, right.

Right.

I mean we should make a year of

GFYI.

Think you guys are waiting for

the bear?

You're the bear.

No, I'm not waiting for any of

it.

I go to the beat of my own drum

and that's for better or for

worse I guess.

We come out with a better every

two years.

Seems like there's about to be

some type of commitment thing

here.

You keep on going with those

words.

Till death do us part.

Oh God.

Forsake all others.

For better or worse.

He said that richer.

Or poor?

Did he say better?

Yeah, richer or poor.

It's all right, we know you

didn't red light.

Sickness and in health.

I can't do it anymore.

It's broken.

By the way, I can't find that

one on Amazon anymore.

What 1?

Is red light, the red light that

I have that we're going to do, I

was going to do the little.

Thing they have them at like

Sam's and Costco.

Now you can buy the mask.

My wife has the mask but I need

the top of my head.

I would have to stretch it and

put it on top of my head.

You have to have the top of your

head red lighted.

Yeah, that's what we're going

for.

And also eating more eggs.

Why?

Don't you just wear some foil on

it?

Foil will reflect the red light,

not let my brain absorb it.

You had watch you watch the

view.

They have them every day on the

view.

The red light on the view.

The Dome one, Yeah, it sits on

your head.

Oh, is there one for that?

It's like a hat one.

Yeah, I have to look at.

That I'll buy you one.

They have them at a tractor

supply where the red lights

right in them.

That's a heat lamp for the

chickens.

Not the same thing.

Just think of it as a turbo

version.

They've changed the base of it

now, so they're not the same

anymore.

Right now they actually have

legs, not just a metal plate.

Makes sense?

Yeah, Yeah.

All right.

Crown heads entered U.S. market

for the first time in.

UK market.

What I say?

US.

They're in the US market, too.

This is why I said he's so

believable.

This isn't the first time.

No, no, the the headline was for

a different story, the second

story that's going to come out

for this one.

I believe you.

OK, for the first time in its

history, Crown Head Cigars will

be available in the US market.

The Nashville based cigar

company has announced that it

has signed a deal with Barkers

of Harrigot.

Sounds like something from Harry

Potter.

That's what I thought too when I

read it Sounds like Harry

Potter.

Harry Potter, Harry.

Potter to have it's products

distributed in the UK.

Crown Heads has not shipped any

products yet, but has not and

has not finalized when it

expects her products to be on

the shelves of British.

So you have.

They isn't there a generational

age?

Shut it down in UK now.

Yes.

So why the hell are we even

going to that market?

This just then, Crown Heads has

exited.

Not to do business with Barker's

of Harrogate.

They were confused, thought they

were renting the next Harry

Potter movie.

Hey, we're going to go into a

space where you're not going to

have anybody smoking in about 15

years.

Yeah.

Well, they get 15 years.

That's a good run, yeah.

John Hubert Co founder of Crown

Heads in a press release.

Being a family owned business

with over 30 years in tobacco

industry, Barker's was the

perfect partner for Crown Heads

as we share a common vision and

appreciation for premium cigars

and Harry Potter.

And Harry Potter?

And what about Bond?

Bond.

James Bond.

Well, yeah, but this is Barker's

of a Harrogate that sounds like,

you know, sounds like one of the

little groups that they, you

know.

What are the things that we like

out of the UK?

They put that witch head on you

and he goes oh you are Barker's

of arrogant.

Goodbye.

They also distribute Gurkha,

Christophe, Macanudo and others.

Wow, sounds like we got an

upgrade by taking on ground

heads.

Yeah, I like the moving thing up

there.

What sound like some of my

favorite cigars?

Sauter a Tear, a new project by

Lawrence and Melanie Davis.

Do you know these people?

No, not familiar either but I

did see this.

So debuted the PCA trade show

Inside Tetra Hayes booth space,

the concept focusing on cigar

specific clothing.

In Tataway space.

Yes.

You see that as you walk down

the aisle.

They were on the right hand

side.

The jackets.

Yeah.

I wonder, I wonder what that

was.

So when I saw the story, I

thought we could talk about it.

They're expensive.

Were they expensive?

Were you smoking jackets?

They are cigar specific

clothing, jackets and Blazers

designed with built in pockets

and compartments for cigars and

accessories while maintaining a

clean, stylish look.

That's pretty cool.

The goal is to offer functional,

well designed cigar apparel at a

more accessible price point.

They were expensive.

Maybe.

Maybe I'm mixing things up.

Compared to typical high end

cigar products, future products

and development include travel

cases, caps, scarves, cigar

scarves.

Yes, well, you put the cigar in

the scarf, keep your neck warm

and boom.

Tuxedo, vest and other cigar

related lifestyle items.

Initial feedback from the New

Orleans show was very positive,

encouraging further expansion of

the brands.

They don't mention the price and

anything but like, I mean, I

have a like a put a cigar right

here in this pocket.

Yeah.

But the difference is, is your

stuff from Goodwill?

This is not from Goodwill.

Or TJ Maxx You you and Chet used

to go all the time.

What?

Difference does that make?

I'm not out buying suits for

this job of which right?

I know, I'm just saying I just,

I don't see why these people

have these super expensive

things.

He's salary.

I'm going to I'm.

Going to get you one of these

jackets.

One of these jackets, I don't

know, they seem like they need

to be like burn proof or

something so you don't burn it.

You know a power or something,

don't not accept it, just get A2

XL.

I don't want A2 XL, it'd be too

big.

Yeah, it's stupid.

You're not getting one.

I have to have jackets altered

anyway because I have bigger

shoulders in the chest and.

A few arms, big shoulders.

You know what?

Unlike Jonathan's son.

Right, who has no shoulders?

Has no shoulders.

And a large head.

No offense, he got a big brain.

Yeah, he could be.

He could have a big brain.

Am I?

Well, he's on keto man, we even

got one.

Keto.

You know he's on keto.

I don't.

I didn't know that I'm just

whatever you.

Said leave him alone, he's on

keto.

Yeah, move along.

Time for the industry's favorite

game?

Why would you say that?

'Cause his body's smaller than

his head.

What's the score?

Oh.

My mask is off.

I close my eyes.

Now we have to edit that out

now.

We get that out of 59.

I think it was a lot better with

me closing my eyes.

No, it wasn't.

All right, one more time.

You were stealing the Red Bull

truck though.

But I put sunglasses on you.

Nice.

One more time, let's go time.

For the industry's favorite

game.

What's the score this.

Mask is horrible today's cigar

May 12, 2026 Patrick Lagreed,

Dominican Republic Fratello

Reviews of fratello 1821

Dominican Republic. 86.

Pick a number, it's not hard.

Mask is so.

Between 1 and 100.

We got we got a whole year's

worth of them, buddy.

We got to get bigger ones.

It's just maybe.

Some of the other faces are

bigger.

Yeah, they're not all Princess

Beach.

Did you guys see the SNL

version?

Of.

The Super Mario no Super.

That'd be great if they did,

aren't you?

But they have a Super Mario

Brother one.

They just did it anyways 85.

I like the news part of the

Saturday Night Live where they

write each other's stuff and

they have to read it.

Yeah, it's Michael.

Yeah, Michael.

Chet Chet and I did that twice,

but he didn't quite grasp the

concept.

Oh, maybe you guys should do it.

It'd be great.

You know, the best Mario skit

that I saw was this one kid.

He did this like it was in like

a almost like it was in like a

police interrogation room.

And Luigi comes in and he's like

Mario, we got to go.

And he's like, no, we don't.

He's like, but the Peach has

been captured and he's like,

yeah, she called me.

She called you like, you got to

see this.

It's amazing.

It's like every time this bitch

gets, you know, with the same

thing over and over again, and I

got to go save her ass from a

turtle, you know, like, and like

it, it takes an awesome turn.

Yeah.

Like Luigi's about to, to go off

on Mario and unalive him.

He's like, oh, it's like that,

OK.

Again with the unaliving.

Yeah, this thing with with SNL,

Mario and Peach are like married

in an apartment in New York.

It's great.

Oh, did he say a number?

Did you ever say a number?

Yeah, 85.

Clue number two, overall

Producing good smoke, he told

her to look it up and then text.

Him.

Yeah.

She doesn't care about any of

this.

Doesn't mean she wouldn't do the

favor for you, producing good

smoke output and generally even

burn lines.

She even.

Where are you?

The meetings still going on?

Yeah.

They're fighting. 87 I need you

to come up here right now. 87 I

went.

I went first again, by the way.

That's for you.

Almost done, honey.

And we're doing What's the

score?

I can't leave. 85.

Consistency issues, especially

with the second cigar which had

a tight drop, poor air flow and

repeated burn relight problems.

83.

And you just yell and obscenity

from the audience.

Jump low there.

Huh.

I listen to what he says and

then I put my score.

You don't always listen to it.

Not always. 81.

Final thought, talk about a tale

of two cigars.

The first half of the Fratello

1821 Dominican Republic is very,

very good.

It's complex, balanced, lively,

nuanced, and flat out really

enjoyable.

The second-half, well, it's not.

It's a sharp, peppery Chard and

begging for something to

counterbalance the profile.

And that's before taking into

account the combustion issue.

While the first was very good

with its construction, the other

two weren't.

With the second cigar one of the

most uncooperative I have smoked

in some time, I'd love to take

the flavor profile on the first

half and simply extend it well.

Figuring out what made the first

cigar burn so well and replicate

it as the result would seemingly

be a very enjoyable cigar.

Since I can't, I'm left to offer

an evaluation that comes with a

lot of hesitation and

reservation.

Smoke the first half, enjoy the

heck out of it, then be ready to

bail out the second-half in the

burn issues in the flavor turn

as you did on me means they did

on me.

Is this a cigar That's two

different flavors?

Is another one of those.

From I don't think so.

It just changes in the middle

and tastes terrible.

Wow. 7800.

You really wrapped up. 76.

You went the wrong way. 80. 2.

I was on it.

I win.

I'm.

Just going to start putting one

of those out.

Wow, it's really picking up.

OK.

We have pyrotechnics now.

Oh well, I won the.

Only cigar podcast.

No, you said it wrong.

The number one show.

I said we were the only cigar

podcast that with.

Pyrotechnics.

Wow.

Let's just let's just talk about

me winning again.

Potato, Potato.

I said 82 and then I came down.

Unfortunate.

When did you say 82?

8082 I don't.

Know I don't listen to you guys.

No, I say 81.

It's too busy trying to stay

awake.

I get so tired but.

Yeah, Mikey too.

Oh, I was given a picture of you

yesterday asleep during one of

my story reads during

yesterday's show.

I shut head down.

A picture.

Yes.

Not for me.

No, not for me.

I didn't say it was from you.

Well, there's only three people

in this room, I mean.

Not yesterday.

Chat.

Yes.

Wait, he's the only other one

here, and he was right behind

you?

Thanks for not filming me now.

Chet's not allowed in here.

I wouldn't.

Never.

See him dancing around.

Where are you going?

We're still recording.

Dude where?

Are you going give him a kiss?

Give him a kiss.

Yeah, yeah, right on the camera.

Pinch his nipples.

He likes that, yeah.

He likes it, then you have to do

that to leave you.

Have to do it to leave the door

won't unlock unless.

Yeah, he's going to act crazy if

you don't pinch his nipples.

OK.

Well, now Chet's not allowed in

Thanks guys.

It's been an experience.

All right, you're welcome.

All right.

Mailman.
