ACHP Episode 531 Skip Martin Plays What's The Score!
Transcript
Welcome to Sky Hustler podcast
episode 531.
I'm Mike Palmer, your host.
We have no fill today in
engineering.
Yes, he's shooting another movie
I heard.
Oh yeah.
Yes.
What is it?
It's called when a polar bear
eats you.
When a polar bear eats you.
That's what I heard.
Oh yeah, I was also told there
are no polar bears in
Antarctica.
You beat me to it.
Because that's what I was going
to say.
Craig told you as well, huh?
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah, there's no polar bears in
Antarctica.
So your point of the doors being
unlocked for polar bears?
Well, it said safety.
It did say safety and emergency.
But you were trying to state
that it was based on polar bears
maybe?
It's a rogue.
Polar bear, I was expressing to
you that that's not accurate.
Maybe he took a flight to
Antarctica.
No, I don't think so.
Maybe polar bears only fly
spirit, and that's now off the
table.
Yeah.
I told Craig we were doing a
Cigar Hustler podcast relocation
program with the polar bears.
Yeah, because there's none
there.
There's plenty of room for them
to all run around.
Oh.
OK, I guess that tracks.
All right, my Co host Mikey, do
you have this shirt today?
I do not have the shirt today.
Mikey, I forgot the shirt again.
Stefan Kevage.
It's coming, it's coming.
It's made.
What's the problem?
I text my wife and said hey do
you know where that Apex
listener shirt is?
And she wrote back, yes.
Is she wearing it?
No, she just let me know that
you know.
Oh, she goes, oh, well, that's
good, at least somebody knows
where it is.
And then, excellent.
That's half the problem here.
Only half.
As long as she knows where it
is, does she still listen to the
show?
Rubbing against your collar.
Now you don't have to do that.
OK, that's.
Better.
Yeah, All right.
Does she still listen to the
show?
No.
She's she's giving up.
She's giving up.
We went to every day and she's
like, I'm done.
And I can't tell her to put it
in your bag.
I'll text her later.
OK, you text her later.
All right, on today's show, more
California problems.
OK, you can be voted off a
plane.
Like we can get a general
consensus of everybody on the
plane and.
They have to wait till we get to
the story.
OK, Fire trucks go fast.
OK.
How many Polish cows does it
take to escape from a farm?
Polish cows.
They're Polish cows, my friend.
OK, Tom Cruise and the little
people.
I need a new spoon.
And in cigars, Tennessee is
closed and then we have a
double.
What's the score?
Me versus me I.
Don't know how that's going to
work.
That's just what I have on the
teleprompt, maybe.

Comments.

Comments.

Comments.
No my comments.
Still on me.
Comments.
No my comments.
We're using auto switching today
where we discovered that we
really don't need Phil.
Been replaced by a machine.
OK.
Wow, that's loud.
Yeah, cough in the monitor.
At Rooks Coding, says Mike.
If you ran for Mirror, I'd vote
for you.
Oh, he does a little.
Over that way he does.
That's my guy.
Yeah, thanks, buddy.
I appreciate you at CW6383, he
says.
I spit out my approaching shake
when Palmer said they're in the
US too.
Great recovery, Mr. Magoomer.
Thank you.
Yeah, I don't remember what what
you said.
I don't either the bear or.
The polar bear?
I think so.
I think we were talking about
Antarctica, and he said they're
in the US too, or something like
that.
Yeah, like Antarctica was.
You said Antarctica was part of
America, pretty much.
And I go.
That's not oh, did I mean,
that's not right.
And then you said they're in the
US too.
Yeah.
I I mean, it was the bears, Bub.
Bears.
Bryce Field commented on 5/28
and said I loved the look on
Triple G's face when Phil was
talking about the eggs and
gluten.
I'm sure that that was.
Yeah, he was saying people don't
eat eggs because they have
gluten in.
That was what Phil said, yes.
Well, Phil is very special.
You know, it's funny is, you
know, there's some posts on on
the previous episode that I
didn't talk about from 529 from
when we recorded.
I'll just give you a couple of
those at Lightning in 1993.
Says Phil needs a Playboy money.
Bask.
That would be pretty funny.
Yeah.
Playboy money.
Playboy Bunny.
Oh, Bunny.
Yeah.
That would just be the ears
though, right?
Yeah, no, but it covers the
front too.
Oh, does it?
Yeah.
Real smoke pods.
His favorite part of the show,
The announcement of the Sumatra
is here.
Can't wait to try it and get it
on the show.
And here it is, right here
again, just so you can see it.
Kind of that's when you
announced it.
I couldn't remember when you
announced.
It yeah.
Well, it, it arrived when we
were talking and, you know,
listeners picked up on it.
It hasn't, we haven't started
really shipping it yet because
we're sorting through the
inventory and then we had an
employee that helped with the
inventory and the inventory is
all jacked up.
So that's why we have Triple G
still upstairs trying to sort
that out.
You know, the the unfortunate
thing is I can't fix everything.
And when we rely on Greg
sometimes, sometimes things are
a little messy.
Sometimes the things that get a
little low.
But sometimes it may be good,
the sometimes it may be shit.
Apparently it's something like
we have 63 boxes, but there's 4
missing, but they ship 63 boxes,
so he can't figure out why
there's 4 missing.
Yeah.
It happens every time, every
time, every single time.
Let me see anything else from
5:30 'cause there's still some
more than 529.
Team Money says he doesn't pick
sides.
Oh, my wife's calling.
Oh, excellent.
Yeah.
Oh, you didn't start the timer?
Oh, the timer might have died.
I can see it.
I can't see that far.
Hey, I'm podcasting.
OK?
Of course.
Everything good?
Everything good?
Yeah.
OK, All right, Love you.
Love you.
Bye bye.
If you want to hear your comment
read aloud on the show, just
comment or.
Talk to Brittany.
Or or no, you don't get to talk
to my wife.
She's my wife.
You don't get to talk to her.
Comment below and we may be.
Brittany's calling me.
Read a comment below and I'll
read aloud.
Or I may kill Palmer.
I don't know.
That's the way that this day is
going.
So ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I'm having issues with
the site.
I'm trying to upgrade these
things.
I know, I know.
It's very stressful times right
now trying to make things better
for our customers.
I know.
OK.
Are you done?
I hope so.
On with the show.
On with the news, Vice President
JD Vance announced the federal
government is deferring over a
billion dollars, a billion with
AB in Medicaid reimbursements to
California.
Whoa.
Citing a failure by the state to
combat systematic fraud.
OK, they're just letting it go
through.
Anybody can apply for Medicaid
in California.
They just give it to you.
OK.
We're announcing that the
federal government is deferring
1.3 billion in Medicaid
reimbursements from the state of
California.
And the simple reason is because
the state of California is not
taking fraud very seriously, so
they're being punished.
So.
So we're not sending the billion
now?
We're not sending the $1.3
billion to California because
they don't check to make sure
all these people actually get
it.
OK, I mean I don't know how all
that works but.
I'm not exactly.
Sure, either I will tell you
this.
I mean, but it they spent like
$30 billion on on the homeless
and.
Well, they need homes.
All they did was increase the
homeless.
Right, More people showed up.
Yeah, so it, I mean go to.
California, you get to you're
not homeless.
No, well, that's still not the
case, because they're still out
on the streets.
Well, we just want the money.
So the well then if they gave it
to the homeless, then they, you
know, that would have made
sense, I guess to some degree,
but that that didn't happen
either.
Can't get Medicaid though if
you're homeless.
But it's safe to say that
there's something wrong there
significantly something with the
system, with all of their
systems, right?
I don't know about right, Just
punishing and saying, you know.
Maybe it's till they get it
straightened out.
I don't know when when they're
ever going to get straightened
out.
I feel like I'm popping.
Why do you feel?
Like I can hear it.
I can't hear it.
I can't.
I can't.
Well, turn your thing off.
Turn it back on.
Oh, it gets so quiet now.
This is so nice.
OK.
Oh, now it's back on again.
Yes.
So anyway, next story.
Yep.
All right.
I can't see the time.
How much time did we go through
in the 1st?
You're at about 10 minutes right
now all.
Right, a Frontier Airlines
flight from Trenton to Atlanta.
Do you know where Trenton is?
Yes, New Jersey.
Yes became the setting for a
unique display of cabin
democracy OK after an unruly
passenger's erratic behavior led
to a collective vote for her
removal.
Everybody, everybody got
together as a unit.
Some lady was being erratic and
was yelling and screaming and
they all voted who would like
her off the plane.
I Everybody raised their hand.
They all raised their hand.
I'll raise their hand.
The incident began with a female
pastor reportedly became
aggressive and began yelling at
folks shortly after boarding.
Viral footage.
Because, you know, everybody was
out there, shows the woman
engaged in a heated argument
with a fellow traveler.
Well, another passenger, a woman
in a blue hoodie, took an
unconventional approach to
deescalate the situation by
addressing the entire cabin.
If you wander off the plane,
raise your hand.
Yeah.
The woman shouted to the
aircraft, prompting a near
unanimous show of hands.
Somebody, somebody didn't raise
their hand.
Apparently someone abstained or
something.
At that point.
Maybe there's the crazy lady's
husband.
And be like, OK, if you want her
off the plane and this guy that
did not vote for her.
He should have to go to.
It you can go with her.
The Democratic removal was met
with cheers and applause as the
disruptive passenger was
eventually escorted off the
plane by security. 20 bucks says
that person's a teacher.
The one that was disgruntled.
No, no, the one that.
Would that built the system?
It makes sense built the.
System.
Hey, here's what we're going to
do if you want this.
Pay attention, kids.
Yeah, All right.
I need everybody.
Everybody.
Focus on me, everybody.
Quiet time, quiet time.
Eyes on me.
Eyes on me.
OK, listen.
Eyes on me.
Eyes.
If you want her off the plane,
raise your hand.
Perfect.
All right, let's get her out of
here.
The video, which has gained
millions of views, captured the
woman in the blue hoodie
declaring I'm not even a hater,
I'm just a woman that's seen
enough.
I don't hate the woman.
I've just had enough of her,
just had enough.
Right, other that that's what
the woman in the blue hoodie.
Said yes, the woman in the blue
hoodie.
Arranged like, neutral party
like.
Stock she did a disclaimer at
the end of it.
Yeah, I'm not a hater.
I just the woman had seen
enough.
Right.
Reflecting the general sentiment
of a cabin tired of increasing
traveler entitlement while the
airline eventually handled the
removal through standard
security protocols.
Right.
Security we need to carry down
the plane, please.
Yeah, the footage of the vote
has sparked a massive debate
online about whether passengers
should have more say in
imagining disruptive behavior in
the sky.
Now you know this is going to
catch on.
You think so?
This is going to happen.
All the time where there's
voting rights.
Yeah, people are going to be
voting on planes and eventually
somebody who kicked off, who
didn't do anything, just
somebody didn't like somebody.
Here's the problem.
You give me that power, I'm
going to entertain.
I'm going to work.
First of all, boarding time,
it's going to take an extra hour
because as they approach, I'm
going to say on the plane or
like they don't even do it.
They're.
Not even in.
Yet as soon as I just want them
right past business class into
economy with the rest of us and
then I'm going to say is he
going or is he staying?
Yay or nay?
Did this guy get in?
Yay or nay?
Get him out of here.
You.
Got to wait till there's some
people in there to vote.
No, no.
It starts one at a time.
I will vote the first person.
You vote the first person.
You're OK.
OK, now you got to pay
attention.
Now you sit right here.
Yeah.
Now help me with the next one,
right?
No, sorry man, you're not coming
in, he said.
No, I don't want to tell you.
Did you see the footage from the
Frontier thing?
This is how it works.
This.
Is this is the process?
Oh my God, dude.
So frustrating.
All the stuff I'm dealing with.
Oh, that was a phone call.
So this is good customer service
on Frontier.
This is this is frontier.
This is where.
The one was in front there.
The blue hoodie lady was on
Frontier.
This is a teacher.
Because it's cheaper flights on
Frontier.
No, no, I'm just debating it has
to.
I have.
No, I'm disregarding the fact
that you said it's Frontier,
just the system that she
implemented.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe she's a government worker.
She should run for mayor or
something.
Maybe she works at the DMV or
something.
I know there's an opening in LA
that she can take over.
California, we don't know
exactly where it.
Is in LA.
Was it LA?
Yeah.
Oh.
Where?
Where Missus Wang is no longer
available for comment, but she's
in jail.
She's in jail.
Go around that.
Eating the Bologna sandwich.
All right, let's see.
Does everybody want this?
It looks like they all want this
looks.
Like everybody wants a Bologna
sandwich.
Hand them out.
Yeah, start passing out the
Bologna sandwiches.
Whatever this lady in the blue
hoodie now who's got she's gone
power crazy.
She does this everywhere.
She's at a restaurant and they
tell her she can't have her
table.
Can we all vote if this guy
needs to leave?
It looks like he's done eating.
She just.
Maybe that's just her thing.
She doesn't.
Even know who I am, I am.
I am the blue hoodie.
I am the voter person.
We will determine if you get to
do what you want to do or not.
Kind of wear that blue hoodie
like it's a badge.
What happens when you find
yourself at like a 5050?
You know what I mean sometimes.
It's going to be a tie breaker.
Is blue hoodie, who's been
neutral this entire time now the
deciding factor?
And now she is.
She gets to break the tie.
Gets a little complicated at
that point, you know what I'm
saying?
Until she has ultimate power.
Right, right.
You know Frontier should just
hire her to get on every single
plane before it just starts.
I just like the voting of if
they can stay or not because
here's what I would do.
I would say, OK, here's some
simple parameters of things that
I don't appreciate.
Things I don't like.
Pyjamas, you know, I know that
Judge.
It actually doesn't bother me at
all, but I'll be like.
Hey, it looks sloppy.
If you're coming in, yeah, but
whatever, I don't care because
they're traveling.
Pyjamas and socks.
They let them be comfy.
You know, you used to travel,
you had to wear, like, a suit.
Yeah.
I mean, that's before my time.
Too, but that's not that's not
before your time.
Yes, it is.
No, it's not.
Used to smoke cigars on the
planes too.
What do you mean used?
To you don't smoke on the plane.
It's a federal offense now.
You end up in jail.
Now, what I did was I did a is
everybody OK with me smoking the
cigar?
And they all raised their hand.
So then I was fine.
I said, you know, you guys can
sit back down.
So OK.
All right, we have an update.
You have an update.
It's a double update.
A double.
I don't remember his name but
the the slot.
We don't know, no.
No, it's just the sloth that was
still sick.
Yeah, he's still sick.
He's fighting for his life.
OK, I didn't even know there was
another one that was sick again.
No, this is this is the last one
we talked about.
His name's like ginger or
something.
Oh, I thought we were all at a
point where the other ones were
fine and the other ones have
died and that's it.
No, there was still one that was
on the watch list.
Ginger.
Ginger.
That's it.
He's fighting for his life.
OK, but that's not the update.
OK Florida wildlife officials
are stopping the importation of
sloths to the state of Florida.
We've had enough.
No more.
We have killed enough sloths in
Florida.
We don't need any more.
And the wake of the death of
dozens of sloths meant for the
Orlando attraction.
So they're going.
That's it.
No more sloths.
We we apparently can't handle
them here.
We don't know what we're doing
with this loss.
No more sloths are allowed.
It's too.
Cold here.
It's too cold, it's too hot.
We don't have the right food.
It's too rigid.
It's terrible here for the
sloths.
So we just shut it.
Down.
So yeah.
So no more applications.
I'm sorry you can't bring your
sloth.
In No more sloths.
No more sloths.
At sloth capacity, yes, OK.
And.
They're thinking about tearing
down the Sloth World death camp.
What?
I have just named it.
That's what we're calling it.
Now we, we should memorialize
this thing, you know what I
mean?
Just put statues of the dead
sloths.
Inside, like, leave it as is and
then just, yeah, just, you know,
let.
It just crumble and decay
naturally.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And then just kind of mark it
off, you know?
We should make the guy live in
it who opened up.
Sloths.
That guy's on the on the land.
He's still yeah, nobody.
Knows where he's out of here.
He's.
He's hiding with the one sloth
that is a lot.
Yeah, and the 1 turtle that he
kept the 1 turtle from the
previous.
Place the one.
Yeah, the turtle and the sloth.
He's got two of them now.
Yeah, they went with a sloth and
a turtle.
All the trouble I have to go to
to get this.
Yeah.
What if they find out he like
poisoned all?
He really dislikes sloth
desperately.
He's a hate.
He's a sloth hater.
Sloth hater and allegedly he
just set this up as his own
little.
I just think it's.
Rid the world of sloth.
It sounds as like absolute
neglect, like this guy was.
This guy was just so focused on
trying to make money and he was
delusional at the fact that
Sloth World was going to crash.
There's just no way.
Let's say it worked.
None of us lost that.
He got it all set up.
It's over on iDrive.
Yeah.
Are you and the children and the
wife going to Slothorn?
He's closed in a solid 90 days.
Right.
I mean, how did it?
They don't move much.
Right.
Oh, this one's.
They did hanging.
Yeah.
But they're little little hook
hands and you're walking through
looking at all of.
Them like, where's the parlay?
Where are we selling stuffed
animals?
Sure, he's selling stuffed
animals and T-shirts.
Yeah, sure.
Certainly.
No, I, I yeah, I don't see it
working.
I don't either.
It's so odd that he would pick a
sloth.
It's not like it's a, you know,
a high demand.
People want to know more and,
you know, interact with.
He probably got an investor is
probably under capitalized and
that's why they died.
I think they showed up early
too, but that one, the one group
of them was emaciated.
I didn't say the word.
So I think maybe those like we
said, maybe got those on like a
black market discount.
I heard they were emancipated.
Well, that's how they got here.
Yeah, but when they got here,
they were emaciated.
Oh see, when they let you start
taking care of yourself, that's
what happens.
Right, Yeah.
I haven't been able to take care
of myself years.
Yeah, I know.
It's called marriage.
You know I don't know.
No, you don't know that you're
not married.
Several times.
Several times, really.
I'm not good at it.
Yeah, your wife doesn't.
Your wife doesn't keep it on
lock.
I know you're.
It's always itching.
It's in.
No.
But it's not underneath
bothering me today.
It's the actual nose.
The T-shirt I have on under my
thing itches too.
It's driving me crazy.
You're a train wreck.
I am.
I thought I was a.
Train wreck on my wreck today.
And then I'm looking at you.
My wife keeps the house nice and
tidy and clean and tells me how
I keep making a mess.
So she does.
So she takes care of you to some
degree.
Sure.
OK, there's, oh, there's always
going to be some ridicule in
that.
You know what?
I.
Mean well, I mean, there's all,
I mean, we're men.
There's something we're not
doing right there.
Today there's got to be some
criticism.
Certainly.
Do you criticize your wife's
cleaning at the house?
Do I criticize my wife's
cleaning?
I mean, you just said there's
always criticize criticism for
the men.
What am I crazy?
Yeah, exactly right.
You know, I would never tell her
is this is how you're cleaning.
No, this is, but there's a
difference.
I mean, I got to be honest,
I've, I've let everybody in the
house try and vacuum the house,
right?
And it's just frustrating to me.
So you're the only one that
vacuums?
I prefer, no, I'm not the only
one that vacuums, but I prefer
to vacuum at least once a week,
right?
To get everything like because
you know the dog hairs is crazy
and it gets in all the little
crevices and stuff.
Well, you've got a hairy dog.
And I want it all to disappear.
So yeah, I handle that without
question.
We only see our dog's hair if
something is white, and then
you're like, Oh my God, how did
all that get there?
I just, I just thoroughly
address it once a week, yeah.
Yeah, well, yeah, we do a
thorough cleaning on the on the
weekend.
Like I move everything.
Yeah, she'll do that while I'm
not doing all the yard work and
stuff.
I'll move the couch.
I'll move the.
Fridge, I don't think she she
doesn't do that seasonal deep
cleaning it where the baseboards
and everything get hit.
I hit everything and I feel I
feel better for about.
A day?
Is that because nobody else can
do it the way you want it?
I feel like it's it's at a
specific level, like it's yeah,
I go, I go pretty hard in the
pain on this right you.
Know what I mean?
So let's say you're sick and you
don't feel good and Brittany
does the vacuuming that weekend
or whatever because you're not
well.
Do you lay there in bed and go?
I got to get up a vacuum.
Because no, no, I think it'll be
it'll be up to par.
It's not sufficient.
It'll be up to par, you know, it
just won't be at the level that
I like it, right?
But I'm satisfied with it.
I think it's good.
All right, now Jax did it.
Well, that's one of the
children.
Yeah, dumpster fire.
Yeah, you know, there's only so
much you can expect.
Yeah, he likes to, you know.
Oh, I'm a victim.
He does that right now.
That's where.
Yeah, that's his cry.
Oh.
Yeah.
Do you enjoy the food?
He's like, oh, I suck.
I'm like, I'm going to beat.
The suck at you, man.
Apparently you do, so sit down.
Yeah, it's wild teenage years.
You know where you should take
him.
To Sloth world.
No, no, it's close.
Leesburg Police Department.
They've arrested a man for
stealing a fire truck.
Why would I steal?
Why would I bring them there?
I'm just transitioning.
It's a terrible segue.
The only line I saw was Leesburg
police and I don't remember what
the story.
Was OK.
Yeah, epic fail.
Anyway, they arrested a man for
stealing a fire truck from from
the fire department that was
parked at the Leesburg
International Airport.
I did not realize Leesburg had
an International Airport.
Yeah.
Have you seen it?
No.
It doesn't look that big.
OK.
Do you get to call international
if one plane comes in from out
of the country?
Yeah, I don't even know where
Leesburg is.
Really.
Yeah.
Where's Leesburg?
On the north side of Sorento
before.
We're batting 1000 here, buddy.
I don't even know where Sorento
is.
Because my mother lives, it's on
the other side of that.
Oh, so over here.
Lake County, OK Anyway, the fire
truck was parked at Leesburg
International Airport on
Tuesday.
According to the arrest report,
the incident The incident began
when a Leesburg Fire Department
Lieutenant from LFT Station 63
located airport property, saw
the 2002 fire truck designated U
63 number three O 5 exit it's
parking space.
Leaving it was a Co worker.
The Lieutenant jokingly raised
his hand and waved.
Hello.
Hello.
That's when the suspect, 55 year
old Thomas Sisson, rolled down
the window, revealing he was
unauthorized.
He knew I rolled down the.
Window.
He blew it.
He blew his cover.
Right there, yeah.
And the times you go, who the
Hell's that?
Right.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office
came and assisted with the
investigation system was later
seen fleeing on foot, possibly
attempting to burglarize or
steal vehicles at dealerships
across from the airport.
But it went for the fire truck.
He took the fire truck from the
airport, drove it across the
street to the car dealership and
was trying to get cars at the
dealership.
Because he was in this non, this
was very discreet.
Right, he really realized.
I waved and I'm in a red truck.
He was later apprehended and
told officers he found himself
at Station 63 through an open
door in the Auto Bay Area and he
believed the building was
unoccupied.
That's where he found the truck
with the keys inside and started
it, intending to leave the
property while the vehicle.
It's a rookie move.
With the vehicle, it's a rookie.
Move to steal the fire.
Truck No to leave the keys in
the vehicle.
Well, I mean, now those
emergency vehicles, I imagine
they do that all the time
because say, say, like there's a
fire and they need the truck.
Well, Phil's got the keys.
I mean, there's, well, there
should be a spot for the keys.
In the truck.
No, no, no.
Yeah, because then wait out to
go find.
Them no, because guess what?
Somebody else found them, then
they started the car and then.
Well, they were in the truck,
right?
But they have to leave them in
the truck, so they get started.
So they go put them in the visor
or something.
Well, the guy didn't say they
were in the ignition.
That's the first place everybody
looks.
Is that the visor?
They're probably sitting in the
in the I've.
Seen the movie?
Everybody Always Goes.
It's always where they're at.
That's the first place you've.
Seen the movies?
Yeah, in the movies it's always
that's.
Where it's at?
They always put them on the vice
excuse.
Me.
That's where it happens in the.
Fire truck.
The guy gets in, he looks around
a little bit, and then he.
How about the fact the fire
trucks in 2002?
How long does a fire truck stay
in?
Service.
Yeah, I imagine a long time.
Yeah, until it doesn't work
anymore. 24 year old truck.
How long does a fire truck
normally stay in service?
A fire truck usually stays in
service for about 12 to 15
years.
This is. 2002.
This is Leesburg and this is the
extra 1 to keep at the airport.
OK, so this is past prime.
This is not the standard.
We use this everyday fire truck.
I got to be honest, I feel like
the winner of the fire truck is
this guy Tom or whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, like, I don't know.
Like, you know, we can walk all
of this back.
You can say, hey, you know what,
here's what we did is we wanted
to see if anybody would claim
the truck, and now it's yours.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
We left the keys in.
You know, if not, somebody's
going to get fired.
Here's.
The pink slip, it was in the
glove box, right?
All that's all yours.
It's signed over and.
Everything.
But then you went to go steal
the other cars.
That was where you got that.
Was right, yeah, that's and you
know, if you would have drove
away, they probably wouldn't
have got him.
In the fire truck.
Fast.
In the fire truck.
Sure, you click on the siren and
you just haul ass.
This.
Is a go.
Just go.
Floor it.
You know, and then you just
drive, you know, people are
pulling away, they're getting
out of your way in the road and
everything.
If you had a fire truck, would
you drive it daily?
Sure.
Yeah.
Just to in a fro Publix.
I don't think that's legal.
Making a stop.
I don't think it's legal.
Well, maybe not till the light
the sirens up, you know.
Oh, I could have one and not
light the sirens.
Yeah, it's like having an
airplane but you can't fly it.
I don't think it's the same,
yeah.
It's a good analogy.
No, it's not.
No, it's not.
It's still.
Anyway, our friend here was
transported to Lake County Jail
and a police car so he got to
ride in all the emergency.
Everything that day.
No EMT though.
Did he have an EMT?
No, I don't think he needed a an
ambulance.
Any chest pains throughout the
transition?
I would have started claiming
chest pains.
It's too much.
Like, I took it because I had to
get the fire truck.
I took it because I had to get
to the hospital.
There you go, poor Tom.
Poor Tom.
He's not in the Lake County
Jail.
Tom, I hope you're watching.
Congratulations.
You won the fire truck.
I.
Hope his name is Tom.
Last name is Sisson SISSON.
We'll call him Mr. Sisson.
Mr. Sisson.
Mr. Sisson, you get a 90 day
stay in the Lake County Jail.
He'll be out in a couple days.
Come on.
What?
Are they getting a Grand Theft
fire truck?
No post bail.
He might not have bailed.
This is the way he was getting
home from the airport.
You get the bail bondsman, you
put up 10%.
Maybe, maybe don't have it.
Maybe it's a high bail.
They're free.
You know, he's a, he's a flight
risk.
I was going to say a flea risk,
a flea risk.
He's a flight risk.
He steals cars.
You can't fly in the car.
No, but you can.
Drive away.
It's a flight risk.
That means you're going to leave
the county.
It's on the plane.
Leaves.
We should go visit him and
videotape the interactions for
the show.
Can't be that far.
Yeah.
You know what in between all the
chaos that's going.
On with with all our free time.
Yeah, let's go ahead and stop
and go check out Mr. Sison.
Well, it could be Sison.
Yeah, OK.
Think we could call him on the
phone?
I'm sure you could.
I mean, I bet he'd accept the
collect call.
I don't think it works that way.
I don't think you can call in.
No, I don't think he has a phone
in his cell.
Just say you're his attorney.
Well, that's how you get in.
Hi, I'm Mr. Sizon's attorney.
I'd like to speak.
To Mr. Sizon, I'll wear this
outfit, yeah.
It'll be fine with the jeans and
the hat all.
Right.
I, Mr. Sizon.
Oh well, I might lose.
That I'm a lower end I'm.
I'm almost needing a haircut
stage, that's why I'm doing more
hat.
Is that what's going on?
Yeah.
I'm trying to let it grow out
long.
I saw that it was a little like
you had, like you got like this
going on over here.
Well, you saw me after I had the
hat on and then took the hat.
Off yeah.
It was like, I'm Mike Palmer,
like.
A feather like I'm an Indian.
Yeah.
All right.
Now we turn to international
news.
OK, one of your people.
One of my people.
One of your people, the Poles, a
cow in Poland, refused to be
loaded like freight and chews
water instead.
God bless this cow.
The most remarkable part is that
she did not only flee, she
seemed to improvise and escape
with nothing but fear, strength
and hooves.
I love it.
In January 2018, while being
prepared for to transport to
slaughter, the cow broke through
a metal fence.
This is 8 years ago.
It's.
Not my fault Poland is very slow
with the reporting.
Yeah, OK.
They're.
Not that.
Smart.
Oh, is that what it is?
It's apparently except the cows.
The cows are geniuses.
They got a thriving economy.
The cow broke through a metal
fence, injured a worker who
tried to stop her, ran towards
Lake Nisa NYSA.
Are you familiar with that area?
I'm not.
Is it a pretty?
I don't even know where Leesburg
is.
It's 20 minutes on the street.
But you're Polish, you don't
know where this is.
No, I was never born there.
I didn't see where.
First born.
Never been.
Polish, no.
I'd love to go though.
I would go to this area with the
lake.
I might be the only lake they
have.
I've never been to Europe.
Oh, I've been to England, but I
that's.
How was that?
It was OK, it rained every day.
Yeah, it was gloomy, cold.
No air conditioner in a hotel.
Very weird, really.
Yeah, you had to sleep at the
window.
So you've been poor your whole
life is what?
You're saying fish and chips
were amazing?
Yeah.
OK.
Oh, it's in southern Poland.
Does that help any?
No.
No, not at all.
Huh.
Let.
Me.
See.
Let me see.
Nope.
Nope, all right.
Then came the part no one
expected from an animal that
looks more built for grazing
than a getaway scene.
She swam out to an island and
stayed there, avoiding capture
by locals.
Watched her become a kind of
four legged legend.
Here is folklore of the cow.
The escaped cow.
Susie the Cow.
She lives on the island now.
By herself.
Grazing daily.
Free of the Butcher.
Her owner reportedly brought her
food because even a rebellion
needs fuel.
Poland, you guys like to do that
stuff?
They like to help the rebels.
They're rebellious peoples.
Yeah, that's the name of our
cigar company.
We don't just.
Post Anya cigar.
We don't just she yelled.
Post Anya from the Thing post.
Anya, instead of moving, Yeah,
OK, that makes sense.
For a week she lived alone on
the island, cold, stubborn, and
absolutely unavailable for
collection.
It's not a storybook escape.
It was panic, instinct, muscle
and one animal design.
The gate was not the end of the
line for her right, but they did
go back and get her after a
couple of.
Weeks and then and then.
Now we ate her.
And then she went to slaughter
anyway.
They should have left her on the
island.
She resisted.
Earned the right to live on this
island.
She resisted.
You know what I mean?
She made her statement.
Yeah, but.
Short lived.
It starts there, you know what I
mean?
Now all the other cows will
stand up and remember this cow
and remember.
Suzy.
What's a Polish cow's name?
Why call her Suzy?
That didn't sound very Polish.
No.
Suzy Ski, How do you say cow in
Polish?
How do you say cow in Polish
crowa?
That should be our next cigar.
Crowa, we have Vo Tech.
We should have Corolla.
Crowa.
Crowa.
Yeah, we should have Crowa.
Cow.
Crowa cigars could be a Maduro
with Habano strike.
You know what we should do and
we should take a box and we
should make it totally sealed
and then we should put water in
the box and then the little
island and then one cigar in on
the island and then the and then
the band could be spotted like a
cow.
Oh, that's a good answer.
Spot a cow.
So water in the box, it's going
to be perfect for shipping.
I love this.
It's going to look great on the
shelf.
Water won't come out-of-the-box.
Yeah, it's going to be perfectly
fine.
No issues, especially when
you're dealing with boxes out of
third world countries because
everything that comes out of
there is perfect.
Right.
It's all yeah, exactly right.
You spell everything correct.
There's there's no.
Boxes are crushed.
There's no spelling issues,
there's no color problems,
right?
Nothing.
There's no painting issues.
There's no none of that.
None of that.
None of that problem.
At all.
Everything's up to spec all the
time, right?
Zero chaos.
Perfect.
Everything's perfect in the
Third World.
By the way, you're changing the
names on our on our Sumatras,
right?
You're updating that?
I fixed it, yeah.
So now there's no ES or DS on
any of the.
Words, right?
I texted Skip and said are we
still fighting?
He's not.
He didn't even bother
responding.
Were we fighting?
Yeah, Yeah.
I thought he was just
complaining about this show.
We don't talk.
I didn't say his name.
We don't talk about him now on
the show, OK?
We don't speak of him.
It's period.
We refer to him as something
vague.
Something big.
Why don't we just call him?
Claude the the no, no, that's
what triggers him.
You can't trigger him.
I think Claude has taken over
him.
Now.
Now you can't.
Now he's going to be even more
mad at us.
He's not listening anymore.
You can't.
You don't know that we have to.
You can't say that that's not
OK.
He's a very smart man and he
writes his own stuff.
OK, He does.
Is that what he's mad about?
He writes his own stuff.
Yes, he does.
Yes he does.
He does.
And he's smart.
That's it.
And he's smart.
And he's very smart.
And now he said he's very smart.
Well, no, now you haven't lately
now.
You.
I can't.
We're not talking about.
Him.
You've devalued the man that we
don't speak of.
I've devalued him well on our
weekly call with me and Rosales,
we'll discuss it you've.
Devalued his thoughts.
He didn't.
Tell me he was mad at.
Me and you've made him a robot.
He wasn't even on the list.
Yeah, well, be the last time you
eat dinner with him.
No more Kochuri.
Where do we eat?
Where do we go?
I don't know.
Everything there was spicy.
I don't care.
I'm never going to the.
City.
I see you're going back there in
a year.
I can't make it.
I'm going to be sick.
I think.
You know who's not sick?
Leesburg Police Department.
I'd like to see how this segues.
Tom.

He's perfectly.

Oh, I miss Phil Till.
So anyway, as you're being
escorted back out, some lady

I will say this though, Phil is
the only one that we can
continue the show on without him
being here at all.
That is true.
Yeah, that is true.
Yeah, it's very difficult that
we're both gone.
Yeah, then it does switch.
I'd like the second monitor, by
the way.
OK, we're going to keep it.
Sure.
All right, OK, I guess that
story's over.
You don't want to like that
anymore.
How much time we used?
You got about 40 minutes.
Oh, hot dog, But you can get to
the one cigar.
Story Oh, there's only one piece
of news.
There was only one.
OK, Charlie.
All right.
Have you ever had Halo Top ice
cream?
What about a video?
We haven't got that far yet.
That's right before we get into
the cigar.
Now we're already on.
This is still current events.
Halo Top ice cream, Yes, yes I
have.
That's the low carb or low.
Is that what it is?
Yeah, I don't think I've had it
before.
Yeah, it's like healthy, like
low Cal.
Oh well, as of today, they have
put out a special spoon.
Oh, OK.
What do you think is special
about this spoon?
Small.
No, it does something.
It's small.
So they can eat less.
It smacks you after you have too
much of it.
No.
It's Bluetooth, it has a speaker
and it if you if you close your
mouth around it, you can hear it
sound very.
Close.
Serious.
Very close, I'll give you one
more try.
The Bluetooth part is correct,
but not that's not what it does.
OK, that would be great though.
Have you seen those suckers that
do that?
It tells you how much you eat
and how fast you eat.
See, that's what everybody gets
on the radio this morning when I
heard this story the first time.
No, it connects to your phone
and then when you start eating
it puts your phone on do not
disturb so that you can eat the
ice cream in peace.
This is the most ridiculous
thing I've heard in my life.
I need a spoon to turn off my
phone.
Turn off your phone so that you
can eat ice cream in peace and
you aren't disturbed by your
eating ice cream.
It doesn't turn it off, it puts
it on.
Do not just.
What are we doing?
So so so.
You don't want me to buy you
one?
No, they're only $4.90.
Cents.
I believe it.
They while supplies last.
It's not even going to be
effective.
The thing isn't even going to
work.
It's ridiculous.
Well, you put the Halo ice Cream
app on your phone and then it
Bluetooths and then when you put
it in your mouth.
Yeah.
Your phone goes on, dude.
And disturbed.
I would say I would like this
this thing if it was Bluetooth
attached to you and as soon as I
put it in my mouth you shut the
hell.
Up and I don't talk, Yeah.
Then I would love it.
Oh, then you got any ice cream?
Yeah, like that.
Just like that.
Exactly.
It's inviting ice cream
enthusiasts to unplug and eat
ice cream without any
distractions.
The company has unveiled it's
new silent Alamode spoon.
Listen, if I'm going that hard
in the paint with the OR the ice
cream, ice cream.
Well, you can eat more of this,
it's that special.
All the all the noise around me
doesn't matter anyways I've.
Already you don't hear it.
Anyway, it's already.
Consumed me, you know what I
mean?
Like I'm reflecting.
Spoon is gold.
Does that mean anything?
So it's Trump spoon, is what
you're saying?
The Trump.
Spoon, this is what's coming
out.
This is where all the gold win
for the phones.
Yeah, that's what happened.
That's why the phones got shut
down, because we started doing
these $4.00 phones or for
spoons.
So anyway, as of today when this
show airs, you can the customers
can buy the spoon starting
Friday, which is today at 9:00
AM Eastern Time at Shop dot.
I love Wells WELL s.com for
$4.90 while supplies last.
See on that part a little
sketchy because I mean, they
could have one.
Right.
While supplies last.
Sorry Sir, you weren't the first
caller you don't get.
It's a great marketing thing.
That's what probably happened
with the the caviar, the
McDonald's.
Caviar.
Oh, they only had the one.
Yeah, they had one.
Yeah.
I'm so mad I missed out on it.
Never saw any posts about that.
Never saw anybody eating it.
No never did.
Weird.
Only the story that the website
crashed.
Yeah, never heard.
Not a single Instagram reel.
Nothing.
Nothing because it crashed so
they couldn't sell any.
Yeah, like, oh, went so well.
I might try to buy this spoon
tomorrow morning.
OK, keep it updated.
All right, do you have a video
for?
Us.
Oh my God, thank you so much for
asking.
Yeah, I do.
I have a video, I'm going to put
it in the Eminem Productions
text anyways, just to let him

No.
Oh, it's not a good video.
I like it.
I try and make.
I try and get some cigar ones in
here.
Do we have another one with
Michael Zagowski or whatever it

Mike Wazowski.
Wazowski.
No.
Well.
Somebody's invited me to

training or whatever asks for 50
minutes of cardio 5050 and he'll
say you can just walk at an
incline for 50 walk at an
incline.
OK, I walk in my neighborhood.
It's roughly 45 to 50 minutes.
I've been I do it.
I now have just started smoking
a cigar while doing it, which I
think is counterproductive to
the cardio.
However, yeah however just I
smoke weed while training.
It's a vodka talk show sponsored
by some kind of a vodka.
Company, no, that's what's on.
The sign in the background.
Yeah, well, it's it's it's WWE.
Those are WWE wrestlers.

That's the hair.
Looks done.
The American nightmare.

Dream, so he's the American
Nightmare, correct?
Correct.

That's the daughter's sleep
apnea.
Do you think that walking and
smoking cigars counter?
Productive, I do it all the
time.
Oh I don't think it's counter
productive when I do walk.
I used to walk more but not
lately.
I would smoke.
When I walked, yeah.
Yeah, people.
And I would do the videos and
stuff.
People are you smoke while you
walk and go.
Yeah, what else am I going to do
while I'm walking?
I got to be honest man, I would
love to work out of the gym and
there would be just a bunch of
stinky ashtrays around.
I was like, oh, at the.
Gym.
Yeah, so.
Why you're lifting?
Yeah, yeah.
So I could just put it down, hit
the weight and then pick it
back.
Up you're not afraid you would
forget and hit it and knock the
ash all.
Over there, no.
I would put it when I went to go
do my set, I would put it on the
ashtray.
I would.
Why don't you just start doing
that and see how it goes?
I'd do a massive amount of
weight and then I would pick the
cigar back up.
You should just do it.
You think so?
Just try it.
One.
I don't know.
I think the booth.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
No, you go.
I'll follow you with the DGI
from a distance so they don't
know.
Oh, it's a trick like the one
the one really strong dude.
Well, I was gonna say like the
the worst running through the
Scientology.
Belief Tom Cruise Tom Cruise.
No, no, you just smoke and lift
and see how long it takes for
somebody says.
Something I don't think that I
think that it would instantly be
shut down.
You don't.
I bet you get away with it for a
couple of minutes.
No way.
Sure.
Yeah.
You don't light it till you get
out there.
So, you know, like walking in,
smoking it.
Go into the locker room and, you
know, change your clothes and
start smoking it.
You wait till you get to the
bench.
You sit down, pull it out of
your little spandex pants, light
it up when you lay back, and
start going.
I would instantly be banned.
OK, go to a different gym that
you're not really remember.
OK, gym is not as important to
me.
Yeah, because we know how much,
you know, you love that place.
I do love that place.
I know.
That's what I said.
It's my happy place, right?
So go to the the ones that got
the.
Lunker alarms, they don't.
The lunker alarms.
I don't remember the name.
The purple one.
Planet Fitness.
There you go.
Go there.
For the dollar.
For the dollar, For the dollar,
Tell me you just want to try it.
I want to.
Test out.
There's always a pass in the on
Facebook and stuff.
Yeah, a one day pass.
Right.
Should do that.
I think it'd be.
I think it'd be awesome.
I'd totally be down with that.
Why don't you open your own gym
smoking heavy?
Smoking heavy.
Well, you can't do lightweight.
Smoke.
You could do lightweight smoke
and lift.
Smoke and lift.
Lifting smoke.
Lifting smoke.
Puff and push.
Puff and push.
Puff and pump, puff and pump.
Now that sounds like you're
getting breastfeeding place.
Smoke and pump.
Smoke and pump.
I don't know, I like to lift.
Those of you that do the AI
images, we would like a picture
of him smoking and lifting at
his new gym and then give it a
name.
It doesn't seem counter
productive to me.
No, I mean, why would it be?
I mean, I'm not running and
smoking, so it's not like, you
know, I need, I'm going to be
breathing heavy.
Yeah, I mean, I smoke sometimes
before I go get into the gym.
Right.
I mean, it's just a leisurely
stroll around the neighborhood.
And why not smoke?
I'm outside the entire time.
Yeah, I enjoy it, right?
Yeah, whenever I walk in my
neighbor, I was always smoking.
Not like I'm throwing cigarette
butts on the ground.
Yeah, like a tool, right?
You know, and I'm not.
Picking nose up.
And I'm not sucking on a pouch
like some of these other.
Right I.
Don't know what the Hell's going
on with these people.
Do you see the latest meme with
that Lady and her little brown
friend?
No.
It's I saw it this morning, it
said she is known to spit her
nicotine pouches into Underlyn's
mouth when she's doing their
reviews.
Nice, this poor lady.
And they gave her a lower cut
top too.
She was well, not even had one
at.
This poor lady she's going to
be, this is going to be
affecting her for a long.
Time they did try to pay him
off.
I saw that.
For $1,000,000.
And he said no.
Yeah, he wanted 10 million or 11
or something, Yeah.
That goes to show you that this
guy's bad shit crazy.
Well, or that it's true and he
thought he had more ammunition.
Either way, I take the mill if
it's true or not true.
Yeah, they said the mill was
like 3 times his yearly salary.
Yeah, yeah, I'm out, right?
Like, Oh my God, I bullshitted
my way through this.
There's two scenarios here.
I completely bullshitted my way
through this and I got to the
million or this legitimately
happened and they're willing to
give me $1,000,000 to just shut
up, right?
Right.
At that point both scenarios is
AW for me.
Right.
You know the attorney, they're
going look, they offer you a
million.
We can get more, We can get some
more money on this.
We can get more than a.
Million no, but I think that I
think that the reason why option
three happened is because this
guy is just batshit crazy.
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, yeah.
If he made it up, he had to be
anyway.
I take the $1,000,000 and I go
back to them say hey, I'd like
to open up an account with you.
I'd like to I'd like to what
you've been.
I'd like she's real smart.
I'd like to get her to manage my
money.
I'm looking for an investment
firm she.
Can call me her little brown
customer, I don't care.
First name for my account,
Little brown boy.
Middle name Brown Last name.
Boy, if you could just, you
know, I expect at least a 15%
return annually on my money.
And you know.
And she stopped spitting those
pouches in my mouth, right?
That was gross.
Yeah, if she if she continues to
spit the pouches in my mouth, I
need an extra 150 K annual.
All right, Cigar News Knoxville,
TN plans to ban smoking inside
bars.
Can't smoke in Knoxville
anymore.
No more on Tuesday May 12th and
Knoxville City Council voted 7
to 2 in favor kicking the man
off the plane.
The lady, the lady off the
plane.
OK wow that was loud gurgling
there by.
The way I apologize.
Seven to two in favor of a new
ordinance that would ban smoking
inside bars and music venues.
This was the first vote and the
second vote will take place on
Tuesday, May 26th.
If, well, who's voting the
second time?
They got to do 2 votes and
everything.
I don't know.
I don't know how it works in
Tennessee.
Seems odd.
Maybe they can't really count so
they're not sure how many votes.
One more time, one more time
we're.
Going to do it again on May
26th.
We have a light meeting schedule
that day.
The law with outlaw indoor
smoking at those venues in
effective January 1st, 2027.
The ordinance would not restrict
smoking inside a cigar store,
vape shops and other retail
tobacco stores.
So you can still smoke inside
retail shops but does not have
bars.
Right.
I mean, you have real smoke in
bars in Florida forever, right?
Can you smoke?
You can't smoke cigarettes in a
bar anymore.
Yeah, that's correct.
Well, they're kind of behind on
the times here, aren't they?
I thought it was everything.
I thought it included cigar.
Shops.
Well, I think it's wrong in its
entirety.
I think it should be up to the
owner of the business if they
want to allow smoking or not.
Do you remember going to
breakfast?
And then there was the smoking
in the non-smoking section.
Sure, that was incredible.
Well, on planes, if you go back
one more seat at smoking,
there's this invisible force
field.
You know the guy behind you is
blowing smoke on your head.
But I'm in non-smoking.
Oh.
Dude, I remember.
Someplace still had the little
ashtrays in the in the seats.
I remember going to breakfast, I
was smoking or non-smoking right
and there was nothing to say
like the left was smoking, the
right was non it.
Was like the plane.
Yeah, there's nothing to
separate the 2.
I was like, OK, non-smoking, was
what my parents would always
say, obviously.
Because they were.
Yeah, we don't.
We always.
And then the the Hostess would
go, I have a table just right
inside of smoke.
Would that be OK?
Like no, no, I need to be on the
other side because the smoke
won't get me there.
Because the smoke won't get me
there.
I know, it's just ridiculous.
But then I mean, yeah, honestly
at that point, like it's up for
me, it's the choice of the
customer.
Like will they have smoking
there?
And I don't want to go there,
right?
You just don't go.
Yeah, I doubt all these people
go to bars were complaining.
It's so smoky.
Somebody is complaining.
That's how it comes up.
I couldn't do my shots.
That's exactly how this happens.
I can't go and get shit faced
without smelling cigarettes.
Oh.
Yeah, when I get home I'm going
to stink.
Like it's so terrible.
So terrible.
Then they're going to know where
I was at, right?
Oh, I wasn't working late night,
I was at the bar.
Started a happy hour.
Got ripped.
I got so happy.
I finished off the buffet and
then that's when things got
interesting.
You know what I mean?
Buffet, Buffet chicken wings.
Yeah, yeah.
A 2022 Tennessee law allows for
cities to pass additional
smoking bans like this one.
Age restricted venues like bars
are one of the few exemptions
for the state's ban on indoor
smoking in public places.
The change was requested by
council members Karen Adams,
Debbie Hensley, Doug Lloyd and
Charles Thomas.
Lloyd.
Four non-smokers, I'm assuming I
can't go.
The four of us can't go out
angry on our wives and husbands
with each other and not come
home to like smoke we.
Keep Allegedly allegedly.
You don't watch the show.
You don't want to get sued.
What are they going to take?
My pots and pans.
Yes.
I don't have any pots and pans.
What do you do?
Knoxville's best known as the
home of the University of
Tennessee, has a popular.
I don't know why this is
important to the story, so we're
skipping.
That who cares?
All right, it's time for the
industry's favorite game.
What's the score?
There we go, Mikey.
Thank you, Sir.
Want to play against Mikey?
No, I don't know who do you want
to play?
Oh, who do you want to play?
I don't know we're going to call
somebody.
Call the Little Debbie guy.
Little Debbie Guy, Justin
Andrews.
Justin Andrews, he just did the
podcast yesterday.
OK, I'm going to call.
Deep cuts with our friend.
He's not going to answer.
I have them under Justin Pee pee
pants, Andrew.
Let's see see how loud this is.
Oh, it's very loud and it's
crackling.
It is crackling.
Maybe because it's so loud?
I think he has a crackling
phone.
It's his phone call has been
forwarded to voicemail.
Three rings and he sent you to
voicemail.
All right, strike, Strike one.
I.
Didn't get to 4.
All right, who's next?
Terrence Riley?
Oh, you're throwing some.
Let's throw some people that
don't talk to us out.
Terrence Riley.
Call the man who we don't talk
about, see if he wants to play.
Also crackling.
He's going to answer because you
never call him.
Mike, let me call you back in 2
seconds.
OK, bye, bye.
All right.
Now when he calls back, don't
answer.
Yeah, I'm not going to.
All right.
Who else we got?
What are the options here?
I'm going the man we don't speak
to.
How are you all?
Right, he's going to be so mean
to you.
Let's see.
It's good.
Hey, you're on the podcast.
What's going on?
What's up, buddy?
I'm working.
That's cool.
I need AI, need a opponent for
what?
The score.
And even though you don't like
us anymore, I want to play with
you.
You want to play.
You, you guys are the most
sensitive bitches I've ever met
in my life.
We, my feelings weren't hurt.
I didn't even know you were mad.
My.
Feelings weren't hurt.
Your feelings were hurt, Sir.
Your feelings, my feelings are
not hurt.
I feel like you ought to put
some respect on my fucking name.
Oh, like because we don't put
respect on your name?
I say uncle.
Listen, listen.
A guy who does nothing but make
AI slop all day making comments
about how I fucking wrote
something, how I wrote something
with AI is, is beyond fucking
paradoxical.
It's fucking bullshit.
I expect reverence when fucking
Palmer talks about me or my
products.
That's it.
So you're all good.
So you better come correct.
You hear that?
He writes beautiful Facebook
posts.
Yes, all by himself.
They're so concise.
There's no AI involved, All of
them.
There's no AI you.
You guys were confused by my
fucking big words in Facebook
posts long before AI ever
fucking existed.
So he does have a point there.
It's so true, I'm still
confused, but that's you know.
Is Claude there?
Can he play too?
Claude does not get to play.
Oh, sorry.
OK, Are you ready to play so.
You don't.
You don't deserve Claude.
You don't?
No, no, obviously I have his
cheaper brother ChatGPT.
Oh my God that's that's a
teaming 1.
Right, the wish.
OK, you guys are cutting into my
fucking work time here.
Let's get this moving all.
Right, let's get it all.
Right First Cigar, September
10th, 2015.
Brooks Whittington reviewed it.
It's a Dominican Republic
limited edition.
The Viaje Summerfest 2015.
OK.
I'll go first on this one.
I'm going to say 86 skip.
Who's the reviewer?
Brooks.
Brooks, you don't even listen to
him when he talks.
That's so hurtful.
Brooks.
Brooks is honest, but Charlie
loves VI.
But Brooks is honest.
So what year was this?
Was this review again?
2015.
Oh, the good years for Aganorsa.
I'll say 87th.
OK, all right.
Country of origin is Nicaragua
factory Tabaco valet de Jalapa
rappers Nicaraguan puroho 99
he's.
Kept the word there.
He's kept the word there, no?
I didn't there's a they did a
fanatic TABSA OK binders
Nicaraguan so.
That's a different, that's a
different.
That's a different factory then.
Interesting.
It's a 6 by 52 Toro.
They smoked 3 cigars.
I'm going to say 86.
I'm going to say 86.
Oh, he's, oh, he's with me.
First clue, great balance and
complexity overall.
Creamy oak, earth, espresso, and
subtle sweetness all working
together, especially in the 1st
and final third.
I'm going to, I'm going to eke
up here to 88.
Staying at 86.
OK, clue #2 solid construction
from start to finish, excellent
draw, strong smoke production,
and a burn that corrects itself
early and stays consistent. 90.
Yeah, it doesn't sound like it
has any high texture tobacco in
it.
It's tracking it.
Didn't say cocoa nibs though.
I'm going to say 88.
OK, third clue.
The second third loses clarity
and intensity, with flavors
becoming muted and harder to
distinguish before recovering.
Later 87. 88 all.
Right, this is the final
thought.
I made no secret of how much I
disliked the original Summerfest
blend and I was interested to
see what the re blended version
would bring to the table.
I can safely say that the new
incarnation is noticeably better
than what it used to be, both in
terms of the amount and number
of flavors in the profile.
Having said that, it is still a
fairly predictable blend, and
the blandness and that reared
its head in the 2nd 3rd of each
of the samples, however briefly,
did impact the enjoyment I got
out of the cigar.
Anyone who is disappointed in
the first version should
definitely give the new blend a
try, but I'm still far from a
box buy.
I think I'm going to track at
87. 88 You went the wrong way.
80 Oh.
An 80, an 80.
That's a lot of nice words for a
fucking 80.
Yeah, that is a lot of nice
words for an 80.
OK.
All right.
Round 2 Are you ready?
OK.
All right, Brooks Whittington
again.
It is the Honduras Oscar
Valedaris Tobacco Company.
Raw dog.
Skip pick your number. 69.
Damn 82.
It's a Honduran cigar from the
Oscar Valedaris Tobacco Company.
They're not disclosing the
wrapper.
The binder is Honduras, the
filler is Honduras.
It's a 5 by 60 and they smoked
3.
This is a redux, so it's a redo.
Skip. 87.
I'm going to stick.
I'm going to go 84.
Clue number one unique raw
presentation stands out
immediately.
Shaggy foot, no rapper and a
unrefined look that actually
adds to the experience and
curiosity factor.
Skip 87 you.
Think you looked it up?
Nah 84.
He doesn't care enough to look
it up.
That's probably true.
Clue #2 Core flavor profile is
consistent and approachable.
Cedar and nuttiness lead the way
with supporting nodes of earth,
coffee and subtle sweetness
making it an easy, steady smoke.
87.
That's pretty good at that
number 80, 86, oh, 86.
Clue #3 construction and
complexity both fall short
there.
It is loose, draws, frequent
burn corrections, and a very
linear profile with minimal
evolution throughout the cigar.
83.
That's that's a good number.
Like that's this one sounds way
more negative than the last one.
So how is this not a fucking 78?
It just depends upon if Brooks
rubbed one out prior to the
review.
Buddy, that's how this works.
I'm going to go 82.
All right, final thought.
This is a tale of two very
different experiences. 2 of the
cigars, The first and last
cigars I smoked for this review
were the lightest of the three
when it comes to weight and
featured A looser than normal
draw, more burn issues, and a
profile that was noticeably less
complex.
However, the second cigar, which
was incidentally the heaviest of
the three terms of weight,
featured an excellent draw,
virtual no burn issues, and
flavors that were not only more
enjoyable but also noticeably
more distinct on both the
palette and Retro Hell.
Having said that, even at its
best, the Oscar Valdari's Raw
Dog has a fairly linear profile
with a less than ideal amount of
balance in the current market.
Having a name that people will
instantly take notice of, an
extremely attractive price point
and unique visual appearance are
not bad things, but at the end
that those ended up being the
best attributes about this
release.
OK. 82. 82, that's going to be
lower than that.
I'm going to go 81.
Oh, we got it.
Congratulations, you win the
day.
You win the day.
So let me let me ask you a
question.
So you guys have been doing this
for what fucking 20 episodes
now?
30 episodes.
Much longer than that.
Much longer than that.
So, So what have you learned?
So what's the what?
What's the the moral to the
story here of this guess the
score?
The moral to the story for me is
that I want Brooks reviewing my
cigars.
Can you score Tyler?
You can't compare 1 to the
other, which is always a problem
for Phil.
Yeah.
So let, let me, let me say this,
I really honestly feel like
there's there's very little bias
when it comes.
I mean, there is subjective,
there is subjective bias between
the different reviewers, but
they have a system of scoring
stuff that I feel like they they
adhere to very strictly.
They do right, yes, regard
regardless of who they're
fucking reviewing.
Mm hmm, right.
So better than cigar aficionado
better better than your man
Coop, right?
Who who really, you know,
apparently has has a + 3 or
whatever for if, if, if you can
say your your name and you send
them a check or whatever, right?
Or if you if he if he gets if he
gets pussy hurt, he doesn't even
review you, which, which is fine
with me.
That's that's more honest than
than just shitting on stuff.
That's good, right?
Right, right.
OK so all that said, what value
do reviews add?
I mean, if, if you, if you read
Charlie's reviews or Brooks
reviews and you say, you know,
man, I've tried a bunch of
cigars and every time Brooks
doesn't like it, I don't like
it.
And every time Brooks likes it,
I like it in that way it has
utility, right?
Because you can say, well, if
Brooks likes it, I'll try it.
Sure, yeah.
Right.
So, but other, but other than
that, right, We put all this
weight on reviews.
I mean, people pay money to put
the number in their Cigar
Aficionado ad saying this random
play person gave me this score
and they're all fucking.
I mean, you don't see 80s in
cigar aficionado, right?
You don't see 80 twos in cigar
aficionado.
So they're very I mean, at least
half was a little more honest
about it, but even an 82 is a is
a pretty decent BI mean fucking.
If Mike Palmer got 80 twos in
all his classes in high school,
he he he was pleased as punch.
Right, right.
Yeah, he wouldn't be working so.
Yeah, I wouldn't be doing that.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, I smoked a
cigar, so you asked me, I'm not
going to say the name of the
cigar, but you guys recently
reviewed it.
You said what was the most
overrated cigar over hyped cigar
at the thing.
And I'm like, you know, there
was a lot of hype behind this
cigar and I thought it was
pretty unremarkable for a
Sumatra cigar.
Having Palestine, you're coming
out with a Sumatra cigar which
has a little bit of an ugly
rapper to to be honest.
He is a banger.
Oh.
Right.
I mean, the wrap, the wrap
around the Palestinian Samantha
is not as pretty as it was on
the the the tobacco we selected
for the Buster fuck or whatever
you called it, right?
Yeah, mistakes were made.
Yeah, that one.
Mistakes were I like, mistakes
were made.
That's what he wanted.
He's like all these calm
mistakes were made.
Yeah, so I, I think that the,
the, the production run of it is
not as pretty because to be
honest with you, it's the rapper
we deselect from Volstead as
being too light and Sumatra is
not pretty to begin with.
Right, Right.
But it tastes great.
I'm, I've probably gone through
a bundle of them in the last,
you know, couple of weeks and
they're all smoking grade.
Yeah.
And and Bob Finley, right,
cigars.
Bob the cigar guy, he obviously
looked at samples because he
loves that cigar.
Well.
He's going to get him
regardless.
I like Bob, so we're you.
Know, right?
No, he said.
He said tons of positive stuff
about it.
Yeah, but if you compare, if
you, you know, if you, if you
know at the same time some
people, if you send them a huge
box of fucking swag and a bunch
of free cigars, you know they're
going to say the same thing
about the other ones, right?
But the other one's not even
close.
It's not even close.
It isn't.
You can use, you can use average
Nicaraguan tobacco and it is a
solid filler.
So you put a decent wrapper and
a bunch of average Nicaraguan
filler, it's still going to have
a lot of flavor, right?
You can't get away with using
average Dominican tobacco.
No.
So true.
When you use average, there's so
much bland, flavorless tobacco
in the Dominican, it's crazy.
It's hard to find tobacco.
You can find tobacco in
Nicaragua that tastes bad, but
at least it has flavors, right?
I agree.
It's just not good flavor.
Yeah, but, but I'm telling you,
when I was working with Ernie on
King Guajanario, fucking 70
percent, 60% of the Dominican
tobacco I taste, I'm like, dude,
I'll be honest with you, I can't
even taste it.
Right.
And and that's what you were
saying is like it's just muted.
It's like it has nothing.
It's like what's going.
And if you if you put nothing
underneath the the tricky
Sumatra wrapper, it's not going
to taste good.
Right.
So it's nothing on top of.
So I mean, Ecuador Sumatra is
another tricky thing too,
because there's so many hybrids
based on the grower, right?
There's no such thing as just
Ecuador.
Ecuador, Sumatra.
Yeah, some of them are so right.
I'm working on Visigoths right
now and what I'm really trying
to go for is like a heavy, a
heavy dark Sumatra like you like
on VSG, right?
Like on Ashton VSG.
And it's not easy to find,
right?
But it's a heavy Habano.
High priming Habano hybrid with
Sumatra seed.
Can you get, can you get if you
find enough of it pre industry,
can you get it there?
Can it?
Can you make something that can
get dark enough or no?
Well, the problem is it has to
be thick to begin with, right?
So, and it has to be right.
So if you can ferment it for a
long time, I mean, we had this
Volstead wrapper that was too
heavy and for Volstead, but
we've just been fermenting for
like two or three years and some
of that's turned into really
good heavy tobacco and dark,
right?
Right.
I mean, it still has like the
giraffe spots that Sumatra has.
Mm hmm.
But that tobacco is a Cameroon
hybrid, right?
That makes.
Sense so, so Alex recently just
found some heavy Sumatra at, at
Nika Prosa and it's available
because nobody wants tobacco
that heavy for a Sumatra cigar,
right 'cause there's there's not
enough of it to make any
significant number.
So my point being is that you go
buy an Ecuador Connecticut
wrapper.
There's LB like brown, there's,
you know, LW, there's all these
different grades of color, but
it's all basically the same.
The taste is the same.
There's some it's a little more
bitter than other.
I like the darker colors because
the commercial guys don't like
the darker colors and to me, the
darker colors have less
bitterness, but it's all
basically the same.
See, there's like 5 different
levels of flavor within Ecuador,
Connecticut.
There may be 40 levels of flavor
within the different hybrids of
Sumatra.
So when you say I'm making a
Sumatra cigar, the, the, the
wrapper we use on Palestinian
Sumatra, what I'm looking for,
for Visigoth, what we use on
Volstead, what we've used in the
past, very different wrappers.
So I, I guess the point I'm
saying is, is that these these
reviews depend so heavily on
this objective.
You might guess that's why you
don't ever see scores under 75,
because if it draws and it
lights and burns, then you know
it's a 50, right?
Yeah, I mean, but you know, to
be fair with with half wheel
we've seen, we've seen scores
that go low.
I think 46 is the lowest one
we've.
Ever seen we've seen, you know,
we have definitely seen it and
you know for us that they're
definitely the most unbiased.
That's why we that's why we
always try and give them a nod
and try and acknowledge them
because we want people to go
there and get their data from
that, you know, right, right.
So.
Well, I don't know.
Me neither.
It's it's a fun game.
It's a fun game, but.
It is a great.
Game the fact that the fact that
the fact that it's hard to nail
down even based on reading the
details of their commentary just
tells you how subjective it is
one. 100 percent, 100%.
All right, well, I'll let you
get back to work.
