Transcript
Action.
Welcome to a cigars or podcast
where cigars are just the
starting point.
Join me, Mike Palmer, along with
Mike, Stefan Kevich and Phil
Mcguffey as we dive into the
latest cigar industry news,
sports, current events,
business, and whatever crazy
stories are making the
headlines.
Whether you're a seasoned cigar
smoker or just looking for
entertaining conversation,
expect honest opinions, plenty
of laughs and a few unexpected
detours along the way.
On today's show, we have another
Flesh Eat Flesh Eater in
America.
Duncan makes a doll of a deal.
Trump's health is a concern,
United says turn off that phone.
And then in cigar news, United
Cigars is going to pop more
tariff updates.
Oz like soccer and then a
Chinese takeout version of
What's the Score?
But first we have Phil
Mcguffey's joke of the day.
Oh God, it wasn't really.
Why didn't you say?
Anything in the pre pre talk?
I figured you would do it from
yesterday.
I did not.
Like we only do it on Wednesday.
I mean, I could pull up, I could
pull it up.
No, that's fine.
That's fine.
Never mind.
I'm right here.
Here it is I.
Have to edit.
I got it right here.
This is thrilling.
Airspace.
You know what's funny is you
could have just been like, hey,
make sure you have this.
Well you you don't make the pre
production the production
meeting.
All right, guys, the.
Production meeting.
Here comes hello peoples.
Here at the VA.
Joke of the day is William
doesn't smoke cigars, he
conducts exit interviews.
That was worse than yesterday's.
Yeah, that's all I got.
Is he, is he creating these or
are you?
Oh no, no, I have nothing to do
with this.
This is.
It would have been funnier if I
did.
It So why is this happening?
Let me ask you.
He wanted to, he had three or
four yesterday.
He wanted to be a little more
involved so I gave him a bit.
Yeah, and I tried to do the
Justin Andrews one, but you
didn't like that one either.
This is a This is terrible.
Well, then this bit goes away.
Really.
Not like he's going to remember
that.
We do it.
Yeah.
Wow.
No, no, please.
We're still going to do it.
We'll do it again tomorrow.
Thank.
Thank you so much for that.
That was riveting.
And we'll do it again tomorrow.
Perfect.
Right.
That was great.
All right, Mikey, how do we get
some of that chapter?
Pond Swig.
Before I start though I just
wanted to introduce my Co host
Mike Thirst Trap Palmer.
The.
Legend.
We're not doing the intros
anymore.
We can put it back, Mike.
Don't worry, there will be
revenge.
There's trap, what is there to
revenge?
I didn't post anything you
posted.
It no, I took it down you then
you posted.
How was I supposed?
Apparently you're showing it to
other industry people and
brought it up again on the show
today, so you know.
Don't worry, I'm sure our
comments section will will have
brought it up already.
No, they have.
Yes, they have.
I told you that so.
What are you worried about?
I'm not worried about anything.
It was great, I loved it.
I don't mind making fun of
myself.
Yeah, but who?
I'm going to get you back.
Well, because you keep bringing
it up, I can't let it go on a
on, you know, I'm.
Dressed.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
I feel like we've done this
before and I don't think it
ended well for you.
Oh.
I'm not talking violence.
Neither am I.
OK, you're still here.
I know I'm still here.
I'm not a violent person.
OK.
Ouch.

Didn't think I had the overalls
for no apparent reason.
Yeah.
Check out patreon.com US Cigar
Hustlers podcast where we review
cigars and talk more in depth
inside baseball about people in
the cigar industry.
Great episode that came out
yesterday.
It was fantastic about the Opus
X.
We smoked the L tribute.
Tributo, Tributo.
I think that's right, yeah.
And then we talked about a
couple of things, which I
thought was fantastic.
Yeah.
Considering we didn't know what
we're going to talk about at
first, worked out well.
I'm pretty good at that, man.
There's, I mean, there's a lot
of, there's a lot of things that
I kind of reflect on anyways
that it's easy to talk about.
So some comments from
yesterday's show, Michael Z
Cigar Guy.
Can we get Palmer's video as
part of the opening?
It's going to attract a whole
new demographic for you guys.
I could cut it in.
I could cut it in.
You'll have to give it.
No, I still have it on my phone.
Hey, viewers are viewers, man.
I like I'm.
I don't care.
It doesn't bother me at all.
Bother me either.
It bothers Phil.
Oh yeah.
Right, Phil?
No comment 'cause I feel like if
I comment someone either you
know, doesn't like it or you
know, I.
You're probably right.
You probably just shouldn't
talk.
Yeah, I'm just not going to.
Comment on that.
Yeah, no more jokes.
Yeah, time to pay Palmer Moore.
His new $20 is $20.
Dude track videos seem
desperate.
Definitely best video of 2026
from at Brett Mercurio.
I agree.
I agree too, pay more.
You know, what was funny is I
just love how all this has
played out because I didn't know
that you took it down.
I just saw and I was like, Oh
yeah, this, this is great.
OK.
I mean, does that make any
difference?
I mean, I put it up.
It was up long enough for people
to see.
I'm surprised Hasselhoff hasn't
commented about being jealous if
you keep doing those Baywatch
videos.
Oh, Baywatch running.
At T, Money says then these
people watch Jurassic Park.
They had all male specimens.
But nature also always finds a
way.
That's what I was thinking too,
when you said the mosquito
thing.
I'm like.
The mosquitoes?
Oh yeah.
Oh, don't think about that.
One more from T Money.
That right there is exactly why
no one sends 3 of things to the
show.
Phyllis so unappreciative.
I was going to send.
I was going.
To send you didn't like the
mask.
I'm wearing it.
Yeah, but yeah, disgruntled.
Yeah.
Disgruntled because did you see
the fan art today?
T Money.
I didn't see the, I didn't see
the fan art.
Another movie poster.
Yeah, I feel like T money's
setting me up.
I feel like that's why he's
making that comment from.
The man who starred in Dead
Inside of Me.
Butterfly kisses dude, that has
got to be one of the coolest
masks.
Coming to a theater near you?
See you.
Nice.
I'm appreciative.
I think it's amazing.
You know what?
And if I didn't thank you, David
Hasselhoffman, thank you very
much.
That was very well thought, very
thoughtful and the cigars too.
We appreciate you guys.
We appreciate all our listeners
and cigars.
That was very nice.
Yeah, cigars too.
Only two.
Yeah, only two.
Of three different kinds. 3 Two
or three different kinds.
So there's still 6 but.
Yeah, sorry, but yeah.
There's not an extra of any of
them.
At the Buzz Inator 19, Why is
Google playing God?
In my opinion, nothing goodwill
come out of this.
Just like Bill Gates telling us
he's a medical expert, or
Leonardo DiCaprio shaming us for
climate change change as he's
flying his private plane and
yachting all over the world.
I mean, yeah.
Does he have a private plane?
I don't know.
Probably.
I don't think he does.
I you don't think, Leonardo.
No, I think we would have heard
because I mean, you hear about
everybody else.
He might fly private, but he
probably doesn't.
Does Leonardo DiCaprio have his
own private plane?
Of course he does.
Leonardo Dicaprio's private jet
is a Gulfstream G650-O.
Look at that which is 1.
Of the most expensive and
luxurious private jets on the
market.
Oh yeah, has the most emissions
and gobbles up most of the gas.
Listen, when the Earth wants to
become a cold dead rock again,
it's going to do it.
There's nothing you can do to
stop it.
Well.
We don't have to hurry it along
either.
I don't think that we are at
Rooks Coatings.
Once Mike runs from the cops and
the Hellcat and they get him, he
calls Greg to get him out of
jail.
Exactly.
That's exactly yeah.
There'll be no bond.
The mosquitoes really took off.
Jace 1911 mosquitoes created by
Google.
Sounds like more data listening
devices, but Phil is probably
right about another problem
being created.
Thank you.
Thank you Jace, because I said
you know to fix a problem and
create a problem.
Rooks coding says I have a mask
I want to send it.
Send it and I'll appreciate it
even though T money doesn't.
Think I don't want his mask, I
know what it is.
Oh, don't send it at Brooks.
Send it.
At Brooks coding says so I have
to order two more, but he
already ordered. 10 that was.
Yeah, that's not.
No, I didn't realize.
I didn't.
See the name?
No, No.
At Steven, Wells says I have an
idea for a mask that Phil will
be more comfortable with.
I can't wait to read this.
And it would and it would be
easy to make.
Just take a OH.
Oh, don't read it.
I'm not read it.
Angry people.
Read it.
I'm not reading it.
That's not nice.
That's not nice.
Wow.
Oh, I remember what it said.
At CW6383, it sounds as if Mikey
and Phil were stunt drivers for
the Fast and Furious series.
And our dear friend David
Hasselhoffman.
You're welcome, Phil, your
November mask has already been
printed.
Oh nice.
Gobble gobble.
I don't know what it is, but I'm
guessing.
Does he must have like AI mean?
I have a 3D printer but I don't
think mine can change the color.
You don't even know how to use
your 3D printer.
Yeah, I know.
I'm going to grab it here soon.
I got to figure out how to use.
It is it still here?
Yeah, it's in Greg's office in
pieces.
Been there for like 3 years.
Yeah, probably longer.
If you want to hear your comment
read aloud on the show, just
comment below and we potentially
may read it out on our next
episode tomorrow.
Today is the last day to be
entered to win the lighter and
Cutter said that's not next to
me.
It's not there today.
Carbon fiber set.
I didn't see in the cabinet.
Hope nobody stole.
It it's a carbon fiber set of a
lighter and cutter.
Look, Palmer's holding.
It and then somebody took it.
Here, Palmer's holding it, here,
you guys want to see it and
we're going.
There it was.
We're going to give it away.
We'll be giving it away on
tomorrow's show.
So OK, on with the show my
friend.
Now the news flesh eating screw
worms are confirmed in the US.
Oh.
Screw worms.
OK, what's a screw?
Worm.
A new World screw worm has been
detected in a bovine located in
Zavalia County, Texas, the US
Department of Agriculture Animal
and Plant Health Inspection
Services said in three weeks.
Yeah, right.
You on fire?
Something going on there?
Oh, you have ashes on you.
Thank you so much, three-week
old.
Your Your shirt's on fire.
Your.
Shirt's on fire, stop and roll.
Stop, drop and roll.
Phil Pee on him.
Oh, is that how you get out?
Stop.
Oh wait, no, that was for as you
get stung by a jellyfish.
Jellyfish.
I thought that don't.
Pee on him anymore.
I thought that was the opening
scene of butterfly kisses and.
Hey, Phil, pee on him.
Phil pee up.
Phil whips it out and pees on
him, and then the credits come
running out of his penis.
Wow.
A three-week old calf was
affected with larva when
identified, its identified in
its umbilical cord, according to
a press statement on Wednesday,
adding that there are no further
detections to date.
So I don't know how they found
this one worm inside the baby
calf's umbilical cord.
OK, well, there's probably a
gentleman named Bob or Frank
sitting there, and he probably
went, man, that's a screw worm.
Maybe USDA invested heavily in
the tools needed to eliminate
the New World Screw worm.
Ever since cases start
increasing to Central America
and Mexico, the United States
has defeated the pest before and
we will do it again that USDA
said.
USDA and Texas officials are
working to contain and eradicate
NWS from the country, including
the establishment of a 20
kilometer infested zone around
the detection and enforcing
quarantine.
So what does this thing do?
It's a flesh eating worm that is
laid on a cow or horse or
something by a family.
OK.
So it's the larva version of the
fly, and then once it grows, it
becomes the fly.
It flies around somewhere else.
Next thing you know, there's two
of them, Then they both land
somewhere.
Make 4/4, make 6.
And they eat flesh.
They eat the flesh of the
animals.
Got it.
It's a problem.
It, well, it also makes it to
where like you can't, I mean, at
that point the animal has to be
put down.
You can't like, cut this part
out and then give the stakes to
somebody that way, right?
Right.
Sort of like the hoof and mouth
on Dutton Ranch.
Still haven't watched?
Wow.
Still not.
It's hard out in these streets
to watch TV.
New World screw worm, which
Burrows into the flesh of a
living animal, is a pest that
can affect livestock and cause
economic losses in the
agricultural sectors.
Apparently they don't like to
eat humans.
Got it.
OK, but it's a new thing.
It's a new thing, but it's an
old thing because we dealt with
it before.
We eradicated it once, but now
it's coming over from Mexico.
However, we do like to fear
monger and we're running out of
things.
The Hantavirus did it.
Hantavirus did not take off.
Didn't scare people like we
hoped.
No one was fazed.
Nope, Nope.
You know.
So now we're doing flesh eating
flies.
We've already tapped into sex
trafficking rings.
We're arresting people on Disney
cruises.
Right.
Still that nobody's worried.
It's still doing.
Cruises.
Nothing has changed.
The Strait of Hormuz.
Except the guy in charge keeps
saying that we've got a peace
deal, but there's no peace deal.
Well, we did put a missile into.
A We did shoot in into an.
Engine through the window and
that's.
Because our military is
incredible.
Oh, I know, isn't that true?
And So what do we?
Why would anybody pick a fight
with us at this point?
I don't.
Sometimes they don't pick a
fight.
Sometimes we just go.
We just feel like, I don't know,
it's.
Been a while, we need to bomb.
Sometimes we got to fuel the
economy here, allegedly.
Allegedly.
So, yeah, then then at that
point, normally it goes Asian
bird flu, but obviously we've
kind of surpassed that.
Maybe it's just out of rotation.
Well, oh, they were talking.
Oh, we got the mosquito thing
about that happen.
Yeah, so that's when we went
flesh eating fly.
Google right so.
Google is creating little
mosquito androids.
Right.
How many little mosquito PPS are
you counting up to now, Phil?
Yeah, how many are you at?
32. 32 you know, there's 34
billion you might want to get
going, David.
Hasselhoffman.
His mask is off, just so you
know.
It's out of his forehead, yeah.
It has this little thing like in
the middle of that, like I know
digs into my forehead.
Well, let's put a little.
Hole in your forehead.
It's actually the top portion of
the mask because it's it was two
things created and put together.
What you need is just a little
piece of foam.
Yeah, that would be great.
So when you send the next one,
put a little piece of foam on
the fork.
No, we're not doing that A.
Little piece of foam in the box
and we'll put.
It on he's not no, I'll just
I'll just get a piece of foam
and put it on there for you.
Perfect.
Because you're a crime.
No, I was trying to figure out
how to put this thing.
Snap off another piece, and you
just snapped one off yesterday.
I was bothering.
Yeah.
All right.
Duncan is serving Pink this
summer with a bold beverage
lineup and iconic collaboration
with Barbie.
Oh.
Starting yesterday, Duncan is
serving summer in pink with a
vibrant lineup of ice beverages
from the all new Pink Pineapple
and Pink Daydream Refreshers.
Lovely.
With a collaboration with
Barbie, the iconic fashion doll,
she have another movie coming
out this summer.
Probably that would make sense.
It would make sense.
The iconic fashion doll and
cultural icon from Mattel Duncan
invites guests to sip their way
through a collection that brings
its signature color to life in
new ways all season long.
There's like 9 or 10 drinks.
I didn't feel we needed to read
through the list.
There is no new live action
theatrical Barber movie release
in the summer.
Very weird.
Beginning June 10th, Duncan will
debut a Barbie Dream House
inspired store takeover in New
York City, transforming a
Manhattan Duncan into a must
visit pink destination
throughout June, where guests
can step inside, snap photos and
enjoy their favorite pink sips.
Follow along at Duncan or at
Barbie and at Barbie Style for
more details.
Pink has always been part of
Duncan's DNA.
Were you guys familiar with
that?
And it's always been part of the
thing.
Well, it's in the logo, right?
I guess you're right.
The pink donut.
And this summer we're taking it
further than ever.
Bold Fund and unmistakenly
Duncan, said Jill Nelson, chief
marketing officer at Duncan.
Would you go and buy the pink
drink because it's a pink drink?
I think I would try the pink
drink.
You would try the pink drink.
It's probably way too sugary for
me because I usually stay away
from that stuff, but it some of
the names did seem intriguing,
like it might taste good, be
like drinking ice cream or
something.
And I don't get their iced
coffees for the same reason.
Right?
Too sweet.
Phil, would you buy the pink
drink without questions?
These are already out and I've
had one.
They're already out.
Yeah, they came out yesterday or
the day before, Yeah.
And you're already there.
My girls like to go to.
My daughters like to go to
Dunkin' Donuts.
Yeah, so that is the excuse.
You take the daughter so you can
get the pink drink.
I guess we need three of these
silly drinks, please.
When we would go to Starbucks,
we'd get him a pink drink.
Yeah, like the passion fruit
lemonade.
Oh, he'd also get the hot apple
juice.
Yes.
We're getting coffee like I
would like the hot apple juice.
Like a kid, like like a Thai
juice.
And heat it up.
Does it come with a toy?
I don't like coffee.
I know you don't.
Like it?
There's not even caffeine in
apple juice though.
I didn't, but I wasn't going for
the caffeine.
Well, that's why you drink
coffee.
That's what the drugs are for.
Yeah.
I would go.
You would go.
You have a daughter.
Yeah.
She would love that.
Sure she would, right?
I'm kind of excited about this.
Take her and get a get a thing.
Yeah.
Because, you know, the boys are
always run around doing stuff
with their friends and stuff.
And then Teddy gets so mad that
she's stuck by herself.
Singled out.
I mean.
So there's something Daddy and
Teddy can do.
Yeah, yeah, let's go get a
Pinterest.
Let's go to Dunkin to get a
Barbie.
Barbie Coffee.
There you go.
Wait, if it is coffee, is that
OK that?
It's not going to be coffee,
it's pineapple yatta yatta.
Well, some of them have coffee,
but I guess some of them don't.
So I guess you're right.
The refresher.
Yeah, it's yeah, it's like
lemonade and some.
They still have caffeine in the.
Refresher.
Yeah, just speak to our the our
fast food connoisseur, right?
Exactly.
So which one did you have,
Philip?
The pineapple one.
Pineapple.
That was the one I did think
sounded good.
What?
What is in the pineapple one
besides pineapple?
Pink yeah, I think it's like
passion fruit and pineapple and
something else like lemonators
on like.
That is it thick like a
milkshake or thin like a drink?
Oh, it's just a drink, Yeah.
What did your girls have and
what did you taste from them
that they had?
Oh I can't remember man.
They have like.
There's only two of them.
It was 2 days ago, yeah.
And there's two of them.
I can't remember 75 drinks.
Yeah, how does it not remember?
You can't even remember what I
did this morning.
You went to the VA hospital and
got your pee.
Pee looked at.
Well, not my pee pee.
But calling off I.
Did go to the.
Because you got a big movie
shoot this week for your new
movie, Butterfly Kisses.
So now the VA is firing the
money for my movies.
I don't know.
You just got to get your health
certificate for the movie.
Yeah, you need to be cleared.
See if you do thirst trap photos
by yourself.
You need no medical.
Yeah, and apparently your DMS
blow up.
Yeah.
Right, I can't believe I'm the
one getting movie posters made
of me while this guy has, you
know, secret sex videos coming
out of him on.
Face you guys see the thumbnail
for the for today?
I did.
Was it me and him watching the
movie?
We're holding hands, watching.
You cut the hands, Yes, that's.
Why?
I saw that.
That was pretty fun.
That was pretty good.
I'm glad you caught the holy
hands.
I was like, you're always good
to see the hand.
Yeah, I saw it.
I very much saw.
It so you don't remember what
they drank.
No, they probably the other
drinks too.
They didn't have the one I had,
So what was the other one?
I don't know, there's like 7 or
eight of these things.
No, you said there was a
pineapple one and another one.
No, there's like 7 or 8 on the
list I didn't get all of.
Them, well, they they didn't get
coffee in theirs.
So if I had coffee in it, they
didn't get those?
Ones I got you got you.
Oh continuity director of
continuity is just had heart
attack as he change his camera.
Yeah, no, I mean like, yeah, no,
it's a yeah, definitely take
your daughter 'cause I, I like
to do things like that with my
my daughters.
I'll take them for those, or
I'll take them go get their
nails painted or hair did.
Oh, I guess Mommy probably takes
her to the nail thing, but she
might like taking go to the nail
thing with you.
If I had a daughter, I would go
to the nail salon.
No, you don't want to.
You don't want to pry into dot
the mommy daughter.
Yeah, you don't want to screw
that up.
That's.
Stupid they still go.
That's a rookie move, you know,
as far as go and get your nails
done, go, go, you know?
I mean, I get my, I do my toes.
I know you do.
I love that.
What about you?
OK, next.
All right.
Questions about President
Trump's health?
Squirrel.
Not squirrel.
Squirrel.
They're spinning after delayed
release of yearly medical
report.
He does this every year and
they're holding back all the
information.
It's probably just a tactic.
President Donald Trump's medical
reports no longer include OK,
wait till before you guys say
anything.
Body fat.
They've taken something out of
it that has been in there his
entire first term.
Body fat percentage is gone.
No.
That's still there.
Well, I don't know if that's
included.
It's.
Not what's missing.
I'm going to probably say
something with memory.
A common hair loss prevention
drug that his physician said he
routinely used during his first
term in office.
I was close from.
Venice tried, also known as
Propecia.
Yeah.
Yes, we we understand what you
know, Michael is fine.
What do I know?
Nobody.
Nobody.
Well, used to be a ginger.
You've made several comments
about you feel that maybe your
hair is falling out.
I'm not saving it with finished
Dryden.
I can.
Tell you, I don't think he says
falling out.
I think he says thinning.
It's.
Just thinning.
Oh well, same thing.
Tomato.
Tomato, same thing.
Why is it thin?
Because it falls out.
OK.
Brand name Propecia is used by
millions of American men to
prevent male pattern hair loss.
3 of Trump's past physicians
have said that he used the drug
before and during his first term
as president, but the drug has
not appeared in Trump's medical
reports since he returned to
office.
He dropped it.
Including a report released
Friday night that mentions 3
other medications he uses from
the past but not propecia.
White House officials declined
to comment on the Trump's past
use or a fast put it
finasteride, and whether he has
stopped taking it.
The current report reflects all
medications deemed clinically
relevant to disclose at this
time, White House said in the
statement, adding that Trump.
'S what are some of the side
effects from finish tried?
Well, let's read on.
OK, looks.
So we'll jump right to that.
Trump's allies have mocked the
the persistent focus on the
president's health, saying that
many questions about his
medication appearance, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
Or is it?
Trump's use of a hair loss drug
may reflect his willingness to
be honest about nearly 80 year
old president's health.
It raises significant questions.
What else is possibly not being
revealed?
All right, it's in here
somewhere.
Depression and loss of memory.
OK, that.
Was right for long term use.
OK, so yeah, they probably, you
know.
Oh, here it is, right here.
Noted that the used has been
linked to an increased risk of
depression, which could affect
the president's performance,
adding that it was crucial for
Trump to be open about his
health and medications.
Other stories have said maybe
possibly had a stroke and they
don't want that released either.
Well, I mean, politicians are
never forthcoming.
Oh, what happened there?
There's a little pop.
Politicians are never
forthcoming with all the their
information anyways.
Well, yeah, you're not going to
release the bad stuff.
You know, no one's going to say
yeah, yeah.
So at least the part where he
says he has fits of anger and
may feel like attacking other
countries, but don't, don't put
it they included that.
No, no, that's what I'm saying.
That's the kind of stuff they're
going to leave out.
He's got the praise.
Like, I just want to die.
Hit the button.
How I didn't think releasing
medical information of an
individual is legal anyways.
Well, I think that the people
want to know 'cause he's the
leader of the.
Free, right?
I think there is allowances.
So.
But he's talking about HIPAA
rules and regulations.
I just like, even when they did
this with Biden, I thought it
was kind of crazy.
Yeah.
Only because what other country
do you know where they go?
Yeah.
Our leaders are real jerk.
And we don't like him.
And his hair's falling out.
So he's.
He's got memory loss.
Yeah.
Memory loss.
He calls his wife Mommy.
That person would be hanging in
the middle of Times Square so
fast he's.
Starting to wear diapers because
he's incontinent.
Right.
I just think it's crazy.
OK, well, let me ask you
something.
Yeah, as far as age is
concerned, there's this weird
thing that happens where our
presence tend to be older,
especially as of late.
What was the youngest president?
I think Kennedy.
No, I don't think it was
Kennedy.
Who was it?
Who was going to have been?
Kennedy was #2?
Yeah, it was a guy that stepped
in.
Holy shit.
Yeah, no, I I mean, I know some
stuff.
OK, go ahead.
Why isn't it on you show that
butterfly?
It was the one, I think it was
the one when the guy got shot or
whatever and then he, he jumped
in God.
He's right there, yeah.
I can't think of his name.
He's a good one.
But Abraham Lincoln's vice
president?
No.
He's a good one.
Yeah, he has a great slogan.
Is the star of the B?
No, I don't know.
Bob.
Bob, the vice president.
His slogan was speak softly but
carry a big stick.
Oh dude, I'm I'm drawing a blank
all around anyways.
Teddy.
Teddy Roosevelt.
That's right.
Oh, Teddy.
Yeah. 42 when he well, he
stepped in for the president.
This is the first time remember
that because he was twice.
Yeah.
Who was the president that he
stepped in?
Would you say McKinley?
Yeah, 42 and then JFK was 43.
Don't you feel like it's time
for a young president?
Yeah, I mean, why aren't all
these old guys?
Yeah, I think.
I mean, I think the next term
you probably get your wish.
Get some youth, yeah.
Get some young blood.
They'll.
Probably be in their 50s.
No, no no, I need 40s.
His vice president's going to
step up.
I want a.
President, I don't think it's
going to be him.
Well, they could have been the
one kid that got shot, but no,
now he's got shot.
Charlie Kirk.
Yeah, Charlie Kirk.
Yeah, he was like in his 50s, I
think.
Charlie Kirk, No.
No, in his 30s or 40s.
You sure there's?
No way he was that old.
Look it.
Up this is We're looking up a
lot today, I guess.
How old was Charlie Kirk?
Maybe his wife?
When he passed.
I hear a lot of grumblings of
who could be, but. 31.
He was only 31.
Yeah.
Wow.
I don't know.
I just want to see some.
I don't care.
I don't either.
Party, both parties.
Let's get some youth in there,
you know, like this shouldn't
this is.
Why is this an old man job?
Maybe because they have to pay
the guy after he's out?
They want to they.
Don't want to pay for that long?
Yeah, Yeah.
That's what it is.
Benefits, Benefits.
Benefits, benefits.
We got to watch this guy for the
next 40 years.
Which president has been in
office in our lifetime?
That has passed.
I think the last one I can think
of was Bush Senior.
There was one that just passed.
Was that Bush?
Bush senior.
Senior died a couple years ago.
Yeah, didn't Jimmy Carter?
Carter die.
Yeah, I think it was Jimmy
Carter, Yeah.
He, yeah, you know, he wasn't
even, was he in my lifetime?
I don't think he was in.
Probably not in New York, no.
When was he president in the
60s?
No, when in the 60s?
It was in the 70s.
The 70s.
OK, let's move on.
Stop looking.
At No.
Let's look at more presidential
time.
This is fine.
What was the favorite food?
Thomas Jefferson's. 77 to 81 was
Jimmy Carter.
OK, so not in our lifetime, not
Palmer's.
In Palmer's lifetime, it was
actually Palmer.
We went to school together.
Yeah, Palmer was 5 when he was.
I voted for him.
No, it wasn't 5.
Palmer created the whole
president.
Palmer was 70.
We hang out the other he.
Was Yankee Doodle.
He helped write the Declaration
of Independence right.
We the people.
It was my idea to use we the
people.
They wanted to say all the
people.
I was like, no, no, come on now.
That's not good.
It's gotta.
Be weedy people.
When Palmer got his concealed
weapons permit, he went in with
a musket, right?
Yeah, very hard to hide that
too, by the way.
He was, he was Mr. Yankee
Doodle.
He just he didn't like the
ponytail anymore, so he chopped
it off.
Yankee Doodle just out of.
Curiosity.
There you go, out of curiosity.
Yeah, in case you guys were
wondering who Yankee Doodle was,
it was you.
It was.
Me why they call Yankee Doodle?
Well, I knew who Yankee Doodle.
Yeah, the.
Town riding on a pony.
Yeah, yeah.
But what Yankee Doodle was was
Yankee Doodle was telling
everybody the business.
I stuck my feather in my head
and I called it macaroni and
it's the end of the story all
right.
United flight returns midair
after Bluetooth device name
reportedly sparked a security.
Scare.
It says here that Yankee Doodle
was a fictional person.
Well, you know, I don't like
taking credit for everything,
OK?
I mean, you know, we the people.
Was it like Paul Revere or
somebody?
Was the real 1.
No, but there wasn't Paul
Revere.
What was he like?
Paul, yeah, he, he was very
loud, very loud.
What was he like Paul?
I got Paul had a drinking
problem.
He's very loud, he yelled a lot,
so that's why we gave him that
job.
He was really close to the Sam
Adams guy.
They were, they were really good
friends.
Loved the winches, OK.
That's actually what he was
riding around looking for.
OK, moving on.
Moving on.
I.
Started a new story.
You jumped back to the Paul
Revere.
OK.
All right, the device name
reportedly sparked security
scare and and caused the United
Airline flight to turn around
and go home.
What was the Bluetooth name?
It was probably something
ridiculous like C4 bomb or.
Explosive, Phil.
Praise Allah.
Sorry it was bombed.
Oh, there you go.
The four letter word that nobody
likes on a plane.
Saturday night, after potential
security concern prompted the
aircraft to turn around over the
Atlantic Ocean, United Flight
236 departed Newark in route to
Palma de Mallorca, Spain, but
reverse course about 90 minutes
into the trip and landed back in
New Jersey later that evening.
Why is it always a United
flight?
'Cause there's more of them.
How is it always a United?
Play.
Weren't those the ones that
crashed into the toy towers?
No, I think one of them was one
of them was a united play, but
that might have been the one
that hit the clearing, I think.
I don't think it was United.
I don't think United was around
at that time. 911.
Oh yeah, yeah, they were.
Yeah, they were.
No.
Didn't they merge into something
else?
No, listen to Jesus here.
He knows.
Hey, come on.
I was there when they signed the
contract.
Originally, he was there when
the Wright brothers were
thinking about it.
I said do you?
Know what'd be a good idea for
an airline if we all were united
together and they.
Go.
This is the last thing I'm
looking up, and then I'm done.
OK, Just continue.
Go ahead.
Oh, you're right.
American Airlines and United.
Yeah, I just always hear them
with like, like the one that
disappeared I think was United
flight.
Yes, it was right.
He what do you have his vitamins
today?
What's going on here?
I don't know.
Oh, that one president, that was
because the other one with the
assassination, I'm like, Oh my
God, he's getting it.
He's getting it.
He was at the VA, they gave him
a shot.
Let me get into.
The let's try this super soldier
serum on, see if that works.
Yeah, Doctor, barefoot with a
door in your hand like a shield.
Doctor my brain no work for
years.
Oh, we got something for that.
This guy, he walks out and you
know.
Great.
Now Hydra is going to be looking
for you when you get outside.
He solves world hunger on the
way to the car.
There you go with pink drinks.
Anyway, somebody pulled up their
phone and looked on the list of
Bluetooth things and it said
bomb.
So they tried to figure out who
it was.
They couldn't figure it out and
then the kid went.
He raised his hand.
It's my Fitbit speaker that's in
my suitcase in the belly of the
plane, so they couldn't turn it
off, so they turned the plane
around.
Oh my God, went back home.
He didn't do anything wrong.
What?
Was the point in turning the
plane around.
Because they want to go because
they were flying over open water
very soon and they didn't want
it.
To because it was called bomb
and you got to, you got to take
it seriously.
Yeah, the speaker was the bomb.
Yeah, you're right.
We're going to fly all the way
back to 90 minutes this air.
That's not even halfway to
Spain. 90 minutes is with the
bomb on board.
If you don't, you're taking this
kids word for it.
Well, there, I mean, you don't
know how long it took before
somebody saw it on their
Bluetooth list.
And then they try to fix, then
they try to.
Well, I don't know.
Do you pull up and turn your
Bluetooth on the minute you get
on the plane?
Yeah.
Why?
Because people always have like
weird like handles and stuff
around you.
You know you can send them weird
photos from phone to phone on
the plane.
There was a story one time this
guy was sending pictures of hot
dogs to people.
Like air dropping or what?
Yeah, because if they're
Bluetooth, their phones open,
you can AirDrop pictures so and
they don't know who it came
from.
Yeah, yeah, if you don't have
the contact, right.
You don't have the contact.
Just don't send that video of
you, Palmer.
They'll know too.
Oh yeah.
Well, my face is in.
I mean, I'm sure it's famous by
now.
It's probably all over the
Internet.
I remember a joke for what it
was.
I think it was like, back in
Covid's peak when somebody would
drive with the mask on by
themselves and then somebody
would AirDrop, like, a picture
of, like, never mind.
It was really bad.
Like, there's a picture of,
like, a big woman mounting,
like, picking up her dude and
shoving him up against the
fence.
Phil, I appreciate that.
You.
You appreciate that, Phil.
It was funny.
Yeah, like air dropping a random
photo with somebody at a traffic
light is hilarious.
Oh, at a traffic light?
Sorry to hear that.
I was trying to Fast forward to
the next story.
Oh, that would be funny.
I'm going to start doing that
while I'm driving.
There you go.
All right, Michael, you have
another video of me doing
anything embarrassing that you
want to share tonight.
I do not.
I do have a video though.
Darn.
Is it a Phil doing something?
No.
That would be I would never put
any videos of myself on the
Internet like that.
It.
Doesn't matter we that's not
true.
It's AI and I can make whatever.
First of all, that's not true.
You do put inappropriate videos
of you on, like you floating in
a pool.
Is that inappropriate?
And like this is like the like
hanging out of your mouth.
Like once I add different audio
to it, it is.
Well, yeah, when you alter it,
did they alter your Baywatch
video?
I didn't.
I didn't know it wasn't altered.
Right, authentic.
Here's your video, it's
I'm done.
Somebody sent this to me.
Was it you?
It was me.
Yeah, that was funny.
Yeah, this kid gets pelted by a.
A robot karate kicks him in the
belly and he double S over.
By a clown bot.
Right.
Yeah, not only a robot, but a
robot with big fuzzy blue hair.
I like that nobody like whoever
was controlling the robot,
nobody stopped to check on the
kid or anything like that.
There was.
No, Yeah, the parents, the
mother sort of grabs him and
pulls him back in.
Yeah.
You think somebody was in Rd.
controlling it or?
Well, even if it's AI, someone's
got to be there that's
responsible for the robot,
right?
I think it just ended up, you
know, it's programmed to do that
little dance.
It did a little karate thing.
It did right, and it just ended
up next to the kid when it was
time to kick.
Yeah.
You think it would know better?
What?
What is it for For, for what?
Did you see the playground?
It's in like a playground area
or something.
Oh, is it?
I don't know.
It looked like some kind of.
Yeah, some kind of demonstration
for the robot, I would imagine.
Now you said in China that kid
goes down and gets hurt.
Whoever checks on him is
responsible for him.
Yep.
If they, yeah, if they need
constant care, yeah.
That's why nobody stops and
helps anybody.
Yeah.
Oh, he look like he may be
handicapped.
No check on him.
You can't and I'm I don't.
Want to take care of him the
rest of his life?
There's definitely no lawsuit
there, I would assume.
I would assume yeah, no.
Do they have lawyers there?
Yes they do.
Only for the Prime Minister.
Yeah, I mean, it's communist, so
it's like, you know, I'm the
lawyer.
Yeah.
You're not going to win today.
It's not your turn.
Yeah, he's King you.
Haven't even heard the case.
Doesn't matter.
Now your turn.
You lose you.
Lose Buddha.
Buddha says no.
Buddha said no for you.
OK.
Move along, all right?
Cigar news.
Yay.
Speaking of United, United
Cigars are shipping Independence
firecrackers.
This week did.
We get independence
firecrackers.
We did.
Did.
You see the little case they
come in?
No, I said.
You should see it.
Oh, oh, you said, did you?
Oh, oh, you should.
It's nice.
Comes in a metal tin.
Yeah, a square metal tin.
And you turn it over and makes
an ashtray.
Really.
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
That's so thoughtful.
The latest addition to United
Cigars Firecracker series will
start shipping to retailers this
week, just in time for the 4th
of July holiday.
The Independence firecrackers
are 3 1/2 by 50.
Petite robusto.
Not a Petit Petit.
This one's got the E.
This one's got the E.
There, there you go.
Somebody knows how to spell
double check?
Their Oh good, that's good.
With a long pigtail blend white
with fuse.
It's supposed to be.
Yeah, Fuse.
Blend wise is cigars made with a
Habano wrapper grown in Mexico
covering a Dominican binder
grown in Dominican and Dominican
Republic in Nicaraguan filler
tobaccos.
The cigars were made at the
Arnold Andre Dominican SRL
factory.
Never heard of that each cigars
and MSRP of do you know because
you bought them so we just let
him.
Guess I don't know, but we can
guess anyways.
Yes, they're called Greg.
I'm.
Going to go with.
Our friend Oliver called Greg.
Somebody called Greg. $9. 99
sounds good.
It is 9.
I was going to win.
I didn't.
Let me guess.
He says that sounded.
Good, I figured that we should
guess I was.
Going to say 8 but no it's fine
now I now I didn't play.
Each cigars in MSRP have $9 and
it's packaged in a 12 count, 10
boxes that can also be used as
an ashtray when flipped over.
You know, we need to get more of
those.
I don't.
We didn't order enough of those
because Greg ordered so.
You're like 6.
Like 2 take two.
Yeah, I could have guessed 2 for
Greg.
Want to show 1 to go?
That's what they call me.
Yeah, Greg, one to show when to
go.
When asked about production
numbers, Oliver, director of
operation for United Cigars, and
our friend.
And our friend.
Told Half wheel that we don't
have set quantities now for
boxes and some will be used in
different ways, but overall
production numbers are over.
Over 5000 Phil.
Oh, I have to guess that.
No, I just stopped reading at
the end of the story.
Yes, yes.
This is a limited Let's go
10,000.
OK, since I said numbers are
over, so whatever number you
said, if it's under it, it would
be correct.
OK, right.
But it's whoever's closest.
So Phil wins is 30,000 boxes of
cigars these little 10 things.
Yes, our partnership with Arnold
Andre began a few years ago and
this profile came together after
many hours together in the
factory, said Oliver in a press
release.
The company has purchased some
amazing tobaccos over the years
and we were blessed to work with
these aged leaves.
United Cigars, the American
distributor for Arnold Andre The
Firecracker series, dates back
to 2007 when introduced by Two
guys Smoke shop in New
Hampshire.
Bobby, Bob.
Owned by David Garofalo, who
also owns United Cigars, The
Firecracker cigars, typically a
3 1/2 by 50 petite robusto that
features a long pick tail.
Oh, they just give me the
information twice.
Something about Agonorsa?
The department of the redundancy
department.
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff
about the different cigars they
had.
And then the USTR paves way for
the next round of tariffs.
Oh.
Cigar producing countries are
set at what is a new percentage.
10%.
OK, wait, Phil, before you
answer, it's at 10 now.
You want to guess again.
Why do you have?
There's a new percentage because
he didn't understand the
question.
He's over there texting.
Somebody, maybe he understood
and he wanted to stick with 10.
Do you want to stick with 10?
15.
All right, Thank you.
Now what is yours?
12. 12 1/2 percent.
The fireworks today.
The Office of the US Trade
Representative, the USTR, has
concluded the investigation into
60 of America's largest trading
partners over allegations of
child labor.
As expected, the USTR, which
serves the White House, is
recommending that the Trump
administration impose a 12 1/2
percent tariff on many of these
trading partners.
Officially, this investigation
was done under Section 3.
O1, we're not reading all this.
It's about child labor.
Child labor bad.
Let's just say, all right, child
labor's bad.
The Supreme Court says it's bad.
The national emergency wasn't
supposed to do the 10.
But now he's doing something
else.
Liberation Day.
Once the Supreme Court upheld
the lower court ruling that had
found that it was illegal, Trump
pivoted to Section Illegal 122
tariffs, another part of the
Trade Act that allows the
president to introduce some
tariffs under the emergency
basis.
However, those tariffs are
limited and will expire on July
24th unless Congress passes
legislates to extend them.
As such, the administration also
began working on imposing
tariffs under Section 3.
O1 a lot of sections here with
it.
The investigation into these
countries proves apparently no
discernible difference between
how Canada and China uses child
labor.
So either China doesn't or
Canada does.
We're not sure they're just.
Keep them, They're in the same
wheelhouse in.
The same wheelhouse.
They don't say which one's good.
We should call Mctavish about
that.
Ask him.
Well, in six to eight months,
when he gets to this, he can.
He's close to 100 away, by the
way.
Oh, he's speeding up.
The report has no.
We're we're speeding up.
We're speeding up.
He's getting further away.
You know, I tried to find this
section in the thing about all
these numbers and stuff.
You know what's really kind of
funny?
Here's.
Keep talking.
Here's some inside baseball
cigar stuff.
Yes, these are a lot of these.
The brokers and the distributors
that are handling that handle
your taxes and your tariffs and
stuff.
Yes, I've heard rumors that some
of them are collecting, going
out and getting the money back
from the tariffs that were
considered illegal.
Yes, where you fill out the
forms and stuff, right?
And then they're not paying back
to manufacturers.
I have heard several rumors
also.
Yeah, because apparently when
you file, when you pay the
tariffs, when these guys pay the
tariffs, they pay in their name.
It's not like they're paying for
poche.
They're paying because they, you
know, John Smith is bringing the
cigars in.
That's correct.
So when he fills out the refund,
they cut the check to John Smith
Tariff Company or whatever,
right?
Now one could argue the fact of,
well, hey, this, that money
needs to go back to the consumer
who bought the product, who paid
the the higher price, right?
Right.
So then it's up to the
manufacturer, then pass it to
the retailer that paid more
money or whatever the case may
be.
But here's what I'm going to
tell you about Postania cigars.
We didn't raise our price, we
just took the hit, right?
Problem solved.
Right, Seems like it would be
close to impossible to give the
money back to the people that
bought the.
Cigars it would be.
Extremely difficult.
Let's say we had raised our
prices right and some shop and
some other state has seven
customers that bought our
cigars.
How would we ever know?
Right.
You would have to give the money
back to specific retailers and
then those you would hope that
those specific retailers then
track the consumer and then you
would give 5 bucks back to
somebody.
Right.
And let's say you're like
Walmart.
There's no way you can figure
out who bought, you know who
bought the shovel that had the
extra tariff on it.
They have all the data you got
to just I got to check myself
out there.
Yeah, I understand it.
But still, I mean, you say you
paid cash and there's no record.
Right.
Well, yeah, I guess you.
Well, they still record you.
So let's do facial rig.
So call the CIA and the FBI.
Run this large, hefty man with a
shovel in his hand.
Photo through.
Hefty.
Well, it's a general speaking
term, yes.
Hefty, I must.
Realistically, I could take a
picture of you and I could
probably put it.
I would bet that I could put it
into AI and say who is this
person?
And it would probably tell me
who you were.
Probably, but I put my face on a
lot of different things.
If you Google my name it comes
up.
Really.
Yes, I mean, there are several
Michael Palmer's, There's a
couple of authors and there's
somebody, but I come up pretty,
pretty early.
If you had cigars to it, I come
up first, but Mike Palmer
cigars, Oz Family Cigars ships
the I thought it was Macarena
and it was going to be funny,
but it is Maracana Marasaya.
During 10 messengers.
Time at Cao prior to its 2010
integration into Scandinavian
Tobacco Group, the company
released a number of iconic
cigars.
Now hey, your mother made
another comment today and you
didn't read that?
I didn't see that.
Oh yeah.
I didn't see that.
Now that Ossinger is full was
fully back in the business with
Oz Family Cigars and Crown
heads, he has decided to
recreate one of them.
The brother, the CEO, Brasilia.
Oh, really?
Oh, that's the best one.
That's, well, the Italian.
We like the Italian.
The new, let's just say
Macarena.
It's funner to say the new
Macarena line, which is shipping
to stores and Ossinger's modern
take on a Brazilian rapper's
cigar.
For that, he uses a Brazilian
out of her rack over Honduran
and Nicaraguan binders and
fillers from Honduras and
Nicaragua.
It's offered in four pressed
vitolas, the Robusto, the
Robusto Extra, the Gordo, the
Toro, and it's made at My
Father's Cigars, Honduras.
Ozinger told Half Wheel that
this is the first time and that
the Garcia family and owners of
my father have worked in a
Brazilian Adaparaka rapper,
Araparaka.
Araparaka Adaparaka, Adaparaka
Adaparaka.
There's not even AD in the word.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, what are you saying?
Adaparaka.
Adaparaka.
Adaparaka.
Sounds like ADA Paraka.
But it's not.
You're so western.
Arabic, Arabic.
You got the air.
Brazilian air.
Anyway.
The name is inspired by one of
the Brazilians most famous
soccer stadiums, the Estado do
Macarena, home to both Flamingo
and Fuminente A.
Lot of soccer crafts been going.
On FIFA, FIFA's coming.
I don't.
Know what?
Well, the World Cup is about to
start.
That's FIFA.
Are you excited about that?
About the World Cup?
You are you like such a well
versed man?
Are you excited about any any
sport at all?
No, somebody I was talking to
one of the customers yesterday
and he goes are you going to
smoke something tonight with
during the he said something.
I go is that a sport thing?
In the NBA Finals.
Yeah, but he didn't say NBA
Finals.
I think he just said the Finals.
During the finals.
Yeah, and I went, is that a
sporty thing?
Because I don't know anything
about.
Sporty tonight's hockey.
You're from Michigan, aren't
you?
I don't live there briefly.
I'm not from there.
I mean the fact.
That is from Missouri.
The fact that San Antonio lost
that game.
Well, you knew that because
because of Scott.
What's his name of?
Americans yeah, cause the Native
Americans went crazy after the.
Game Well, well, the referee
that's in there, Scott, was it
Frost or whatever his.
Name is the referee's name is
Scott Long Tail.
No, in the finals they're 10 and
O with that guy reference.
Oh, just that guy.
Really.
They have specific specific
stats now based on the.
Well, this, well, this guy was
was being looked into and he
admitted that, 'cause he's been
around since Jordan.
This this this referee, Yeah,
no, since Michael Jordan.
Yeah, He admitted that there was
some games that he had to make
calls based off of, like mafia
betting.
Yeah, he admitted to it.
Then why is he still a ref?
You know, I asked the same
question when this whole article
came and I was like, how is he
even allowed to still, you know,
be in the building?
He.
Admitted that he, you know,
favored somebody based on.
What's the guy's name?
I think it's Scott Frost.
Scott Frost.
Scott, if you say it quietly,
if.
You put an NBA ref, Scott, he'll
pop up Gray hair.
NBA Scott Gray hair.
Oh look, it's a picture of me
again.
Might not be Frost.
I don't know why they meant
names.
It might be snow or maybe wind
chill, something cold related.
No NBA referee named Scott Frost
has ever admitted to throwing
games from the mob.
That's.
You're likely thinking of Tim
Donaghy.
So close with the Scott Frost, a
disgraced former NBA referee who
was sentenced to federal prison
in 2007.
So he's not rapping anything
because he's in jail.
Well, they could have picked up
games in jail.
Who refed the game last night?
I thought you weren't looking
anything else up.
I know, but it's just so readily
expensive.
Scott Foster.
Scott Foster.
Scott Foster Foster or phosphate
Foster Foster.
He's born in 67.
So not Joe Frost, Scott Froster,
I can see you get confused.
Very similar names.
Did Scott Foster admit to
throwing any NBA games?
Let's see.
No Scott Foster has never
admitted to throwing NBA games,
nor has he ever been charged
with a crime related game
fixing.
While while Foster is a huge
Nicks and doesn't say that.
While Foster has remained a
figure of intense public
scrutiny due to his past
connection to disgraced referee
Tim Donaghy.
Bro he he admitted to it.
It doesn't.
I know, I know what that's
saying, but I'm telling you if
you they're this.
Is what the Internet says, but.
When all that, when all that was
going around, he had, he said it
in a conference when they
interviewed him that he did it.
And I probably because of that,
I didn't know that he was linked
to that guy, but he is now
called the extender.
The extender, yeah.
He likes to make things.
Because every every series that
he's ref so far has gone to Game
7.
You sure that's not what they
called the fluffer that makes
all your movies?
So you think this is going to 7?
Yeah, they when?
Well, because the extenders
doing it now of course.
When the when the game was about
to start, they showed Scott
Foster and they're like in the
extenders here.
No, they did not.
Yeah.
They did.
The commentary can.
I have my camera for a minute.
Yeah, the comments made by Phil
Mcguffey on the cigars or
podcast are not that of the
advertisers, the owners of the
show, or me and him.
If you're going to sue someone,
sue Phil.
He is nicknamed the Extender.
Yeah, OK, except when he says
the extender.
Apparently that part was.
He is also sometimes referred to
as Agent 48, a play on his or
the.
Part when the whatever else he
just said about Agent 48 or
something once Asian or agent.
The nickname comes from a long
standing fan theory that the NBA
assigns him to playoff games to
ensure a trailing team wins,
thereby extending the series to
more games and generating more
revenue.
Yeah, so so he so.
You like to produce our show?
So he is one of the top refs in
the NBA and one of the oldest
ones.
So he gets first dibs at the
finals.
These guys get paid like
$1,000,000 a game.
Oh wow, the Rep the finals.
But they were thinking that he
wasn't going to be in in the
beginning of the series.
They were like, oh, you know,
maybe he'll come in like towards
the end since he's the extender.
And he got substituted in last
night.
Supposedly.
This is what happened.
He got substituted in last night
and at the last minute.
And they're like, oh, the
extenders here.
And what was funny is during the
third quarter, right?
Right.
The beginning after halftime.
Put the camera on you.
Sorry, you're not a lot of
talking.
Brunson, for the Knicks, went up
and talked to him 'cause he was
getting fouled a lot.
He talked at the end of him too.
Yeah, at the end, yeah.
Which is kind of crazy that he
did that 'cause now that, you
know, there's, there's a lot of
flags with all that.
But at the at the beginning of
the second-half, he would have
talked to him.
And then all of a sudden the
Knicks started getting calls and
coming back and the Spurs aren't
getting all these calls anymore.
And it's kind of crazy, man.
Wow, wild.
Yeah.
Anyways, so game one in the
books.
Apparently we're going to 7.
Yeah, going to. 7.
Yeah, why wouldn't you?
How much money those guys are
making here?
Comes the money here comes the.
Money What else is time for
industry's favorite game?
What's the score?
What's the score?
Players are clues from 1/2 wheel
cigar review and try to predict.
Can you wait till I get done
with this?
No, you got let me.
I have a pause built in after I
tell them what the game is.
No, yes I do OK, but it's too
late now.
I'm very sorry, I won't do it
again.
You know, you asked me to put
this in so people would
understand and then they can't
hear it because you did every
time I do it now.
You're so chippy today.
Players are clues.
Because time's ticking.
On Yeah, time is I don't have a
lot of time left.
It's they just lost 3 seconds.
Try to predict the score before
it's revealed.
As more details are shared, the
challenge gets easier.
Or does it?
The closest guest to the actual
score wins the round.
Can you read between the lines
and predict the score?
Let's find out.
I think I might be in trouble
today.
This guy is so on fire with
everything else.

Chimali cigars.
Not pronounced correctly, but
that's how we say it here on the
show.
Limited edition The Chimali
Pangu double Corona.
OK, what?
Are you looking it up real
quick?
What are you doing over there?
Typing away as I.
Say no, I'm dealing with website
stuff.
I, I haven't, I haven't been
able to get in touch with my guy
for like 12 hours and now he's
lighting it up and.
No, I sleepy what you call me
now.
He said that he had some kind of
emergency so.
Emergency There was beepers at
my door.
He have heart attack can.
We not make fun of my guy,
sorry.
He doesn't watch the show.
You don't know.
He might.
You said there was a guy in
Bahrain, right?
There's a couple.
We're, we're big.
We're big with the military.
We had, for a while there, we
had shows being watched in some
weird countries that we, I'm
trying to say how to describe,
had to be like secret military
bases or something.
Because I mean, it's no way
there's like, you know, seven
guys in one of these Middle
Eastern countries all sitting
around their Wi-Fi.
Going you don't know.
Oh.
Listen to the show, it's on now.
These two guys are funny.
I love them so much.
Little screen, 9 goats, three
guys.
Quick, crank up the generator.
It's time for the show to come
on now.
Get on your best white gum.
Here they come.
Here they come here.
It's so funny, OK?
All right, go ahead.
What was the song?
There used to be a song that we
played at the beginning of.
They had words in it.
Yeah.
I don't remember what it was.
And now, yeah, yeah, the.
On the podcast.
Yeah, the the the original theme
song had words.
Rick Ross.
No, no, no, no.
That guy who's not I know
doesn't have it all.
The guy who wrote it, I can't
remember his name.
Hugh.
Yeah, he'll be asking.
He did the first the the first
theme song we had, but it had
words.
Did it?
Yeah, I mean it was very simple.
It's like a 2 second song and it
was like a cigar house or
podcast.
Cigar house or podcast?
It was.
No, you're OK.
No what?
Hugh be asking made the one that
you still use Adam Acree.
Oh, that's.
Right, it was Adam Acree.
His name is Mike.
Oh, that was it was Mike too,
right?
And this is Cigar Hustlers.
It was.
Adam Yeah, right.
So that's why the Indian guys
are all sitting around singing
the song, yeah?
His name?
His name is Mike.
He Mike too.
He's a cigar hustle to podcast.
Oh I love this show.
All right, so.
Who goes first?
Oh, I'll go first, OK.
He looked it up while we were
over here singing.
Yeah, he did.
Let's go 82 I'm.
Going to say 87.

Who did it?
I don't remember.
Do you want me to look it?
Up.
No, you better not look it up.
Pull up the other page you have
over your phone.
Brooks Whittington.
Thank you.
We go in 84.
Dammit, 87.
I'm Fast forward back to all the
stuff I already read.
All right, what did you say?
87 clue #1 The flavor profile
was rich, complex, and
consistently engaging throughout
the entire smoking experience,
delivering notes of toasted
sourdough bread, creamy cedar,
peanut butter, coffee beans,
lemongrass, and unique sugary
cereal sweetness on the retro
Hell.
And he yawned.
Oh Lord.
He just looked at me and it kind
of looked like it was like a,
you know, if you looked at a
fox, they're like, we had a
flashlight that was kind of like
in the woods or whatever is
because the beam was bright, but
it was with butterfly wings
instead.
And that was amazing.
OK, Signor.
He didn't.
Did you read something?
Yes, I read all of it but the
beans and the lemon grass.
I'm multitasking.
It and I got.
That, oh God.
Because you're busy yawning. 84.
And I heard you yawn.
No, I'm yawning. 87 dude.
He yawned further.
I didn't yawn it.
Together.
I didn't.
I didn't.
Oh, I didn't.
Fell asleep last episode OK.
I'm only yawning.
Your final thought was terrible.
It wasn't mine and.
You could have surmised it,
summarized it so.
Because then you don't get the
full clue you'll complain I
couldn't get the scar rank
'cause you shorted the thing.
I've been nailing everything I'm
going to miss today though
'cause.
He tells you that that it's your
fault who didn't get the score
right.
Yeah, it was.
That's what he says.
How?
The show's over.
How do you leave?
Yeah, I blame.
Oh, I blame you.
He blames me.
You would have read that right.
I would have won.
Yeah, I want to hit my
fireworks.
Clue #2 Construction was a major
strength for most of the cigar,
with excellent draw resistance,
copious smoke production, even
burn lines, and a virtual no
performance issues until the
final stages.
I just want you to know I'm the
furthest thing from hillbilly
out of the three of us.
I needed to earn my fireworks.
Oh, sorry, I mean it was just.
Kind of like not even close.
Yeah, it was just a voice I.
Do my fireworks and you screwed
that up.
Thank you.
Because that was the opposite of
hillbilly. 80.
Whose phone keeps going?
On 84, it's my watch.
Oh, settle down. 87.
Clue #3 While construction was
impressive overall, a wrapper
crack on one sample and a
required touch up on another
during the final third prevented
the cigar from delivering a
completely flawless smoking
experience.
That was it.
That was clue 3.
What else you want?
OK, you want me to say the
score?
No, it's just just so short.
The last one was like a novel.
No, that's the final thought.
That was the third clue.
Completely different thing.
Yeah, final thought is next.
All right.
Oh yeah, it's long 85. 86 final
thought excessively long final.
Thought is it?
Well, I had heard of Chai Molly
from our news stories and PCA
convention to trade show
coverage, which I think is how
yesterday started almost a word
for word.
Except for the Chai Molly, I had
not actually smoked anything
from the brand until I picked up
these cigars.
What I found is that the Pangu
Double Corona excels on multiple
fronts.
It is not only extremely
flavorful and nicely balanced,
but also well constructed
overall.
The flavours are nuanced and
distinct, and the solid medium
strength what make this a great
blend to smoke just about any
type.
Of.
Day after enjoying the Bango
Double Corona Vitola as much as
I did, I will be on the lookout
to try more of the company
cigars to see how they measure
up.
That was pretty good.
Yeah, want me to add more?
No, but if I kisses, let's go
that.
Was funny. 84.
Do I just win or do I go for?
It so I'm asking questions.
Whatever does it make?
When to win?
Because like, I could go 85 and
win.
Then go for it if you think
that's the way it works, because
that's too easy.
OK.
Like I was talking to somebody
yesterday and they were saying
this is what I would do.
If I play, they go well, that's
why you're not going to play
because you're not playing.
You're just throwing out a
number because you think it's
better than the other.
Tell Keanu he's not going to be
on.
It wasn't.
Greg.
No, Greg plays all the time, but
he looks at me and sees I have
to pee and then he picks his
number based on whether I have
to pee or not.
Alex from the Cigar Guys.
I'm going to say, OK, I'm going
to go 88.
You went the right way, but the
score is 90. 90. 90 He said he
had no problem with other than I
had a slight burn issue.
Victorious.
I need to spread those out
instead of moving together.
Oh shit, now they won't go off.
We're all going to die.
We're all going to die.
They.
Won't go a 90.
I need to spread those out.
I'm covered in sulphur.
Yep, but it's worth it to
rotate.
What did the San Andreas just
get on half will 90?
97.
This week.
Flawless.
Wait, no, you.
Didn't get this one on the
money.
You didn't get this one exactly.
I have won every.
Single.
Just let them have a moment. 88
take anything away from. 88 was
pretty good.
I mean, I could have just did
85.
Yeah, I understand.
I shot it.
OK, well to be fair, you knew
you would win if anything over
85, so I mean.
I knew, so then I went with the
number that I thought it would
be.
Has anybody smoked this 90
rating cigar before?
I have.
We I said we hand some of these,
but I think only he smoked it, I
don't.
Think I've smoked them more than
once and I'm here's what I'm
going to tell you.
The one that I smoked at the
show was amazing.
Then the one that they sent me,
not so much.
They switched it.
So I no, I mean like you don't
know what happened.
They had special show cigars,
they had a little something
extra.
No.
But you know what could have
happened?
No.
What could have happened was it
could be made at 1 factory and
then that whole deal fell
sideways and then they just
tried to recreate it somewhere
else.
This is not the original factory
listed on this.
Thing.
So there you go.
Because everybody was talking
about they were made at one of
the old Drew Estate factories,
right?
But this is not the name of the
old Drew Estate.
So there you go.
So.
That's probably what happened.
Holding back you.
Can't just take the recipe and
make the same cigar.
You cannot.
No, tobaccos are different.
They're different, they age,
they smell.
Well, fermentation processes
are.
Different, right?
The Bovida packs that they put
them in do do weird things when
they're in the.
Refrigerator being in being in
different factories make it
taste it sure.
Like I I mean different water.
Dude I'm going to tell you when
I pick up a Neanderthal HN and
before I light it, I pre let
like I didn't just smell it man.
It smells exactly like Nika
Swineau.
It's crazy and it takes me right
back.
There Is it just that one or
because you smoke so much?
I mean, I smoke that one the
most.
It's probably all Roma product,
I mean.
But to be fair, I mean, I don't
smell it with Postagna.
Oh really?
Yeah.
And that weird.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Maybe skip sub serves out to
some little small.
Factories take it over there.
Take it over there, making it
that shit factory.
I'll look at them when they're
done.
It'll be.
What they hit #2 damn it.
Bring it back, bring it back,
bring it back.
Send mine over there.
OK, anything else to add?
You know, I would like to do
like a blind tasting with you,
but the Roman craft stuff is
such unique sizes, there would
be no way to disguise it other
than blindfolding you.
And even then you could feel it,
and you could you'd be able to.
So that's.
Correct.
Let's do different cigars.
Yeah, but the thing where he
just said it tastes like I.
Can smell.
He can smell it.
You know, give him give him 4
cigars unbanded, but.
Let's do it.
Let's do it with Postagna and
Roma first of all.
Roma is such different sizes,
they're unique stuff.
First of all, he could feel it.
You tried to screw me with my
own product on the Patreon.
No, but you knew it.
And you failed.
No, I I mean, it wasn't.
It wasn't you.
I was.
He was after me, wasn't after
me.
To be fair, he was after you,
but I was part of that I.
No, I just couldn't tell you
about it because I know that you
would tell.
Paul, I could have easily got
caught in the crossfire.
No, he wouldn't have told me.
If you would have told him what
you were doing, he wouldn't have
told me.
No, that's not like something
that's going to change my life.
No, I wouldn't scar me forever.
But I know that you would have
known it.
I mean, he put up my thirst trap
yesterday.
I mean, come on.
Do you put up your own?
Thirst.
I took it down because it was
thirst tracking.
Oh no.
What did I do as soon as you
went to the bathroom?
I was like.
Yeah, I put it up.
I went in the house and then I
thought then I had the, you
know, a couple of that's.
Him, that's where it changed.
Yeah.
He didn't think it was bad until
he realized that he he had other
dating opportunities that were
coming out of this post.
I sent it to my wife.
I go, is this OK?
And she goes, oh, it looks
great.
I'm thinking OK.
Yeah, to her.
Right, exactly.
Apparently her and a couple of
fellas so.
Right.
Hey, you know I have options.
I don't know if you guys do.
Yeah, no, I don't need options.
I need.
Well, I don't need them.
I'm good with my one option.
I want zero other options.
Don't come for me, I will block
you.
Oh, I just deleted the comment
and took the well, I took the
post out.
I didn't even delete the
comment.
Oh, it was a comment.
It wasn't Adm.
They commented on the photo.
Nice.
Oh yeah.
I mean, everybody could have
seen it.
Oh, you should have kept it up.
They're coming in a little
Wiener pic, huh?
No, no Wiener pic I.
Didn't.
Have anything from you?
Nice.
OK, anything else to add?
No, that's it.
I'm done.
I have to go make more thirst
traps.
I think it was the best show of
