He did a He does a very good
show the the two hours goes by
quickly.
I was surprised it was over
already.
And the data and the research
that he knows.
I was surprised that you were up
the whole time.
I thought we were going to lose
you at some.
Point.
Yeah, you kept going.
Are you there?
I mean, I was.
My Palmer still here?
I was watching the show.
I know.
I mean, there's not always time
to troll.
And, you know, no, but normally
what happens is we talk about
the interview that we did or
whatever, and you're like, yeah,
I went to bed around 20.
Minutes.
You're right.
Normally I do, yeah, but.
Not that time.
A little more involved.
Oh, you were dialed in like I'm
working, honey.
I have to stay up.
Right, she didn't.
I just went in the other.
Room oh good, Trey got see me
have the breakdown and
everything.
Yes, yes, of everything.
Greg did a little too.
When they cut to him, he was
wiping the tear out of his.
Head.
Oh good, it went to him too.
Well, anytime he liked to make
noises and and you know, rattle
around till the camera would
cause I'm I'm in the middle of
you talking.
Greg was on the show.
Greg was on the show, so, you
know, so I'm losing and I, I
know that this camera is just
fucking staring at me.
I'm like.
He didn't know where to go.
What's the problem?
He didn't know what to say
either.
Apparently his father has passed
recently.
Yeah, he did.
So yeah, so he, I think he was a
little, a little in his feelings
too.
I think it kind of.
It doesn't shift, it shifts by
sound.
Yeah, well, it does, but it
shifted to him and he wasn't
talking either.
Oh yeah, it.
Was like, it was like dead air.
Like fuck.
And then he goes to Greg, and
Greg put his glasses back on,
wiping his eye.
Yeah, yeah.
But I think Greg did.
Well, I think, you know, he did,
too.
I texted him right after the
show last night and told him he
did a good job.
Yeah, and then this morning he
asked me.
Well, this afternoon, whenever
time I was you got here, what
should I have done different?
Where did I go wrong?
Right.
Like, other than your bad
lighting in the giant air
conditioner off your left
shoulder?
Yeah, I mean that should just
like.
That was it.
I got a kick out.
He did a good job.
Yeah, the first couple minutes
you could tell that he's not.
He's not quite seasoned.
No, no, he's not comfortable.
So, yeah, so he was a little
timid at first.
Barry, sitting up straight,
didn't have his hat, you know,
And it was like, well, that's a
good question, Mr. Bear, Sir,
let me answer that for you.
Yeah.
Well, thank you very much for.
Thank you for asking.
Me for having me on today and
but that that quickly
dissipated.
It quickly did, and he went
well, fuck, let me tell you
what's going on, right?
Well, yeah, it just, you know,
I'm sure that it was helpful
with me being on with him.
Oh, I'm sure, because I was
like, look at the fucking lights
on this.
Thing what was the other show he
was on?
He couldn't remember either.
I thought he was talking about
what we did to our show.
That terrible episode with
Island Jim where neither where
neither one of them talked and I
can only talk to myself for 15
minutes.
Yep.
Right.
That's the little story I
remember you telling me, Paul.
Yeah.
Oh Greg, I like all camera shy
and everything.
Breaking all camera shy and
everything.
Yeah, that was yeah.
I tried listening to that and I
was like, holy.
Shit, luckily it was only 15
minutes.
Yeah, Thank you.
Wrap that one up.
Like, all right.
Thanks, Jim.
Hey, you just got up and left.
Dude, I don't know what to tell
you.
We put out, we put it all out
there.
We put out the good shit, the
bad shit, the ugly shit.
There are a couple that were so
bad they did not even air or
they were to protect somebody.
We didn't air it.
Yeah.
So, yeah, Well, we almost put it
all out there then.
Almost, almost, almost
completely. 98% out there, yeah.
It's like 98.92.
Five.
Yeah, Yeah.
So and then we had.
The air kicked off.
I thought the whole room died.
I heard the the the fans stop
running.
And then we had the we had the
surprise birthday.
Party.
Oh yeah, it's your surprise
birthday party.
That was quite fantastic.
It was.
Yeah, very well orchestrated.
They were.
She does a good job, yeah.
There were people there that I'm
like, how the hell did she do
that?
Right?
Yeah, that was impressive.
Yeah, a lot of people, I had no
idea who they were.
Yeah.
And they must be fans of the
show because they knew my name.
Oh yeah.
Or they would introduce me, or a
man would introduce me to his
wife.
And I'm like, I asked, great,
where are these people?
This is Mike Palmer is.
He now, yeah.
Palmer this.
Is Mike Palmer and I'm like, oh,
hi, nice to meet you.
I don't know who your husband
is.
That's pretty fantastic.
I can't wait till Palmer turns
into the 10 second Timmy. 10
second Timmy, we're almost.
There forgets everything after
10 seconds.
I've never met these people
before.
Yeah.
So apparently your cousin was
there.
I I have no idea which one he
was.
The tall one.
Oh, OK.
Oh, he's older looking than I
thought he was.
Yeah, I thought he was like,
you're in Greg's.
Age.
No, he was always.
He was our older cousin.
Oh, gotcha.
Yeah, yeah.
Very interesting stuff.
Man.
The guy I do jiu jitsu with was
there.
That was that one was a big one
for me.
Oh, which one was he?
Eric is his name.
Oh yeah, OK.
He didn't have, he was like, he
had like he's got black hair.
He's kind of skinny, taller.
Everybody was tall then,
apparently.
Yeah, everybody was tall guy.
Not cousin Tall, but there's
you.
Know Jack Teranio was there.
Do you know Jack?
I know Jack.
Kind of tall, Yes, he was kind
of tall.
I know Jack.
Peter Nano's there, not tall.
Not tall, not tall, not tall and
likes to drink.
Yeah, yeah.
But we'll get into that later
because he's supposed to be on
the show.
We'll see what that looks like.
Yes.
Yeah.
So, you know, pulling some of
that off like some of the my gym
buddies being there, my buddy
Greg was there who came from
Sarasota.
Wow, yeah.
That was pretty awesome, man.
There was just a lot of, you
know, the Gordon's were there.
Yes, Gordon's.
Yes, yeah, Mark and Julian,
yeah.
Oh, Julian's last name is
Gordon.
Isn't it so I like to call.
Him.
Gordon's.
Pete saw them.
He goes.
The guy's in the ties.
Who are those who are?
They.
So that's Mark Gordon and his
brother Julian, and he sort of
looks at me.
Man, he should have fucked a
little.
I didn't, he goes.
They in the cigar industry and I
go, no, he goes, oh, could they
look for mayor?
Yeah, 'cause they're fucking
always other events, the regular
quarters of the of the regular
hustler and the brands and the.
Should have been like, they're
the new directors of Padrone.
Come on, Pete, don't you know
this?
Yeah, what the fuck are you?
Doing Oh, hello gentlemen.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah.
Would you like some of Greg
Scotch?
Here how some of Greg Scotch,
but yeah.
Just a little because I'm
drinking it.
Myself, I don't want to go too
far into the Pete thing, but
there's some there.
Some shit went down there.
It was pretty funny cause.
Oh, I I sat there for 15 minutes
when he told me how great you
and Greg were.
Oh, that's awesome.
Yeah, well after 5 minutes he
started repeating himself and
stuff and and I couldn't there.
There was no pause where I could
go.
Well, I need to talk to somebody
I don't know, I need to get a
drink.
I need to stop listening to you
ramble in my ear.
So, so I did the event, the
Placencia event on Friday, yes.
And it was like a fucking ghost
town, right?
Right.
So I'm looking at Mike and I
said, hey, listen, I think
there's a party tomorrow.
I have reason to believe that
there's a party on Saturday and
I think that would explain as to
why.
I think we did the cutting light
too close.
Yeah, that.
I mean, that could have hurt
too.
But I honestly think that, you
know, if half of those people,
your regulars were downstairs
and they were to some degree,
you know, between Jesse and
Pedro and, you know, the Gordons
and, you know, there's, there
was enough people there that
would have been there on Friday,
but.
Gordons aren't a big fan of
Placencia cigars.
No, no they're not.
OK did the air die?
It's getting hot in.
Here, so then so then the then.
I guess the event just sucked.
I think it was too close to
cutting light.
Get up and turn it down.
I don't have it down as low as
it normally is because we're
saving money.
We're cutting costs.
Cutting costs, tears.
We're mounting 72.
Yeah, it's normally at 70.
One, but I got to have some good
conversation with Mike.
Mike Denny's.
Oh, Mike Denny's.
Yeah, you guys are talking about
fitness and working out.
And that was the beginning of
that conversation.
Oh well, I left at 8:15, 8/30.
Yeah, we got more in depth
afterwards, right?
Just about all their stuff,
personal stuff.
He's a good guy, he really is
so.
You gave a lovely speech at the
end.
We, we won't go into the details
about it, but it was a, it was a
nice speech.
At what point did you know your
birthday was on Saturday?
A birthday party.
Probably when it after Friday
night, Yeah, I was.
Gonna say when it didn't happen
Friday night.
Yeah, after Friday night.
OK, so it's deadly Saturday.
He was pretty sure it was Friday
night.
Yeah, I thought at first it was
going to be on Friday.
What?
Were you thinking when you had
to put on the blindfold before
you got in the car?
We're going to cigar hustle.
So there was no fooling you
where you were in.
Need no fooling.
No, yeah.
It's the only venue in the
budget for the party, yes.
See, what we got to do is we got
to, like, blindfold him, drive
all the way down like smoke on
the water, pick up Danny down
there and keep him blindfolded.
So then he hears Danny talking
in the car.
Yeah.
But then he'll never guess that
we're going to a cigar hustler
after that.
OK.
You're in charge of that next
year.
That seems a bit.
You can't drive 45 minutes.
Yeah, we got to fool you,
though.
You're never fooled.
OK, we'll build a fake plane.
We'll put you in it.
That sounds actually great.
It'll just be one of the
trailers Outback.
Oh my God, why is it so hot in
here?
Maybe we could do the podcast in
there too.
We're on a we're on our own
plane now.
Yeah, there you go.
Right.
We're on our own plane.
Did you guys have our broadcast
plane?
Did you cut the grass?
I did cut the grass on Sunday,
Yes I did.
Thank God.
I was concerned.
This show is going to be bananas
right here.
It has bananas because you had a
busy weekend.
You were helping out a lot.
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, it's been a busy couple of
months actually.
Yes, with the party planning,
Lot of planning, a lot of lot of
planning.
Brittany had her text messages
turned off so that.
I wonder why you never heard
because.
I mean, there were some nights
where it was back and forth all
like my wife.
Who are you talking to?
Yeah, talking to Brittany.
I mean we got details about the.
Party trying to work this out.
Trying to work this.
Out.
I mean, I don't, I don't.
There were some time I figured
you should have.
It's going off.
I'm not.
I'm not.
Yeah, I mean, there were times
where she had to be right next
to you or, or in the same, you
know, in the house if you're in
the house.
Well, we're normally sitting
next to each other in the
evenings, right?
Right out on the patio and
stuff.
I mean, she's always on her
phone.
She likes to solitaire thing.
So I'm not like, what are you
doing?
Is it the solitaire cash thing?
I think it is.
Is she making any money?
I tried that she's.
Close.
Close to making money, yeah.
Yeah, I if I gave up, she
thinks.
She's got like 20 bucks or.
Something put $5 in to play the
big money.
I'm like, I just won two, let's
be -3.
How did that work?
So out done.
I'm done with this, done with
that one.
Yeah, and my, my best friend
growing up, you know, he was
there.
With the big guy.
John.
John.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I helped him light a cigar.
Did you?
Yeah.
Oh, I've met him a couple times.
Yeah.
He didn't remember, but it's not
a big deal.
No, he wouldn't.
Remember, no, no.
He consumes.
Yes, I've got awful amount of
Bud Light.
Yeah, he was carrying four at
one time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You go to the fridge, you get 4
and he's very thirsty.
Honey, don't pay attention to
the big man.
He is next level, yes.
He is next fucking level, yes.
It's very impressive.
So.
And there was like a little
video thing montage for people
who couldn't make it and stuff.
Yeah, that was another task in
itself.
Yeah.
Weren't a whole lot on there
that there were more they were
supposed to be.
Yeah, I know.
It's OK, We're going to build a
little list, people that, well,
Rosales actually.
At least he made the video.
Yeah, he cancelled it the last
minute from.
Whatever he know showed.
Yeah, he didn't skip.
Skip was never coming.
He had.
He was very busy.
Skip was busy playing with
Poison Ivy in OH.
Yeah, apparently he did.
I don't think that was the plan
originally though.
He had something in New York,
or.
Something I got plans I have to
garden is that was that?
Yeah, I heard that.
Oh yeah, not even.
Z showed up a day early by
mistake.
He popped.
In.
He thought.
He thought it was Friday night,
too.
That makes sense.
'Cause when he hugged me the
second time, he leaned in and
went, yeah, bro, I fucked up.
I'm here on the wrong day.
I'm like, yes, you are.
I'll tell him I'm seeing my
nephew.
Like, OK, whatever.
Whatever you want to do, yeah.
Jack Terano did a a great job
covering 'cause he kind of blew
it at first.
Yeah.
He called me originally when the
invitation was came to him.
Yes.
He thought it was for my
brother, I guess.
So I was like.
No, I think he said that to
cover.
Now he goes, what is your
brother like and.
I said no, he thought he was
calling Greg.
I think, 'cause there's no way.
I have the invitation, obviously
your pictures on it, there's no
way he knew it was for the
different one, right?
I think he thought he was
calling Greg when he called you.
So but he did a good job acting
like he wasn't going to be here
and.
Then he showed up and then.
I knocked.
Unless he's drinking, I brought.
Up several times in her daily
phone calls about the party and
what you what did she get you
and president ID he.
Got me ice cream.
Yes, I know.
That was a great idea.
Very excited about.
This is it like ice cream of the
month or something?
I don't.
No, I don't.
Supposed to be really good ice
cream have.
To try the ice cream.
Looking forward to that ice.
Eric Espinoza called me this
morning.
Oh, did he?
Yeah, very cool.
Well, you got him and Jack got
you that wonderful video from
Guy Fieri.
He did give me the Guy Fieri
video and we have these shirts.
Yes, you.
Want to show these shirts?
Which one are we showing first?
Well, this green one.
This is the new.
The Brandy new knuckle sandwich

Are those are very pretty?
We will have these on next week
as I'm hiding.
Well, you will.
Oh, I will.
I won't.
I can't fit into.
This sure you can he he thought
like the shirts you have on now,
he thought that was a large.
They are.
They're my shirts are tight.
This is kind of to some degree.
It is kind of blousy.
It might fit.
I got to tell you.
What?
What size is yours?
Listen, I'm a large man.
This is an XL.
You got a large, you're a large
man.
You got, you're an.
XL man.
And then we got what about
these?
Are these?
He didn't give any story.
He just said there's two shirts.
He goes up with two shirts for
everybody in there.
Espinosa, this is the Yeah,
maybe this is a Lazona shirt
this year or something.
So I'm waiting on the Matt Booth
call.
I don't know if that's going to
happen right now.
We did a whole thing about this.
He fucked this up, remember?
Last year, yeah.
Was it last year?
It was last year, yeah.
No, it was the year.
Before fucked that up again.
Well, he said on the on the
interview that you had a
birthday coming.
Off, I know, yeah, I think he
thinks that was.
That qualifies.
It doesn't qualify I.
Think so.
It does not qualify.
Who else he calls from Energy?
Yes, big Dick energy.
Who else did you get calls from?
Anybody.
Anybody notable?
I'm sure I did.
I don't.
Know oh, they were so notable.
You just don't.
Remember the Justin Andrews
call?
No.
Unbelievable.
And he claims he wasn't invited.
He was invited.
He was invited.
He was invited.
Unbelievable.
Oh, that's even better.
Yes.
Is my Rd. caster attached are.
You going to call?
Him.
He's in Nicaragua right now.
Nothing's lit up.
OK, we'll let him.
I'll let him off the hook for
it.
So he was invited.
Yes, but he's in Nicaragua.
He's not on a medium.
Where they he's he might be
having a meeting there.
Zoom.
Zoom meeting.
He was.
See the picture with AJ
Fernandez yesterday?
No, he put up a picture of him
talking to AJ Fernandez.
Yeah.
And I commented on it where he
goes.
OK, AJ, here's the joke.
They call me every week and I
tell them in this God awful
meeting with an absurd name,
they believe me all the time.
And he goes, yes, that's exactly
how it happened.
I could.
I could read your lips.
He, just, like I, say the same
thing, yeah.
But he said it in Spanish.
I like.
His well, when he posted well,
well, I didn't get the invite or
whatever.
I guess I won't, you know, now I
don't feel so bad not answering
the phone when?
I Oh yeah.
That's what.
He's I was like, well, nothing,
this changes nothing in my
everyday life, so I don't thanks
for the punishment.
I I.
Don't know to tell you that.
Whatever.
Yeah, there was.
There was other things I was
going to mention, but now
they've they have left my brain.
Oh, on the bear show, yes.
Oh, I can't talk about it.
Never mind.
It was after the bear show.
Oh, he's going to announce.
When he's ready to announce
something, I'll talk about it.
Can we talk?
About it on the page.
Can we talk about it on the
Patriots Stop.
Recording.
He's got some big news.
It did stop or.
That camera did.
Oh, but that one's still.
That one's still going.
Just keep.
Going no space.
Yeah, probably right now.
Oh, is that what he says on the
screen?
So what did we get?
Three shows on that card?
Or once you know what's good to
go, just scrub it out.
Well, then you got to take that
whole thing apart, OK?
That's that's your job.
That's also my job.
Yes, I got to do everything now.
No, no, you don't edit, you
don't upload, you don't make the
graphics for the week, you
don't.
Now I got to.
Handle.
You don't.
Make the description of the
episode.
Keep going.
You don't clean the room.
Keep going.
You don't clean the room either.
Sure I do.
I did when I rewire or we had to
rewire it two weeks ago.
So every two weeks.
Everybody's happy now that the
home is gone.
Yeah.
Oh, it is gone.
It was gone last week.
I don't, I don't know if that
was it or if I did something.
Oh, I dubbed.
Yeah, yeah.
We found a way around the home,
right?
That's what it was.
No more humming.
No more humming.
Getting better.
So yeah, great birthday.
Great birthday party.
Good, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Do you feel 40?
I feel 50.
Well.
When do you get to 50?
You feel 60.
Everything hurts.
Yeah, everything hurts.
It does.
After working Friday, parsley
Friday night, Saturday, cutting
the grass, Sunday, knee brace
last night.
And I was looking, brother, and
apparently I broken out with
some rash.
I got something.
I got into something on my arms.
No, that's what Adrian keeps
going.
She goes Poison Ivy.
We don't have Poison Ivy in our
yard.
Wow.
It might be one of those
stinging nettles.
Oh, yeah, yeah, Yeah.
I might have ran over it with a
lawn mower and it sprayed up on
me or something.
My goodness, you're a mess. 56
feels like 80.
Feels like 80 feels.
Like 80 feels like 80.
Yeah, can't.
Wait to see what 80 feels like.
For you, I'm not going to make
it that.
Far you don't think so right
now.
What do you think we've?
Been training my replacement in
three years.
At 59, yes, you think at 59
you're you're cooked.
Nah, too stupid to die.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Right, so much easier.
I'm really intelligent.
You're not allowed to talk about
that on the show.
I know, I know.
I did like during your very
emotional speech and everything,
your birthday party, people kept
yelling at my name.
Oh yeah.
To interrupt you, they wouldn't
mean to interrupt you.
Really.
You don't remember that you
were, you said the beginning.
This is the part where Palmer
normally interrupts.
And everybody was like, yeah,
Palmer interrupted.
I.
Don't know.
I was kind of zoned in.
Yeah, you were.
I was pissed off at one guy
because I didn't want any of it
recorded.
Yeah, somebody videotaped behind
you.
Yeah, I have the I'm not.
Done with him.
Singing of the Happy Birthday to
put up at the end of the show.
Oh, very nice.
'Cause they shop in the back, so
you're doing a lot of dancing
and your butt is.
Back oh oh.
And a lot of dancing with your
butt.
Yep, very nice.
Yep, it's been nice.
I can throw the Guy Fieri video
up too if you want.
Yeah, that's cool.
OK, throw that out there.
He's, you know.
Guy Fieri.
Gallivanting, travelling, the
world or whatever.
Well, apparently Jack texted him
at like 10:00 in the morning.
Yeah, didn't expect to hear back
from him anytime soon.
He had it in two hours.
Oh wow, that's impressive.
It is impressive, yeah.
Guy's a very busy man.
Just.
Bang down the car.
Yeah, he's driving, so it
probably worked out well.
I.
Guess I can just do this.
I can.
Do this in a car.
I got a couple hours to kill I.
Got my minions with me?
Sure.
Yeah.
Full boat.
Car.
Yeah, there was a lot of people
in that car.
We're with you, guy.
Bring the chicken.
Riding with you, buddy.
I want a knuckle sandwich.
So, yeah, yeah, well, pretty
good, bud, Pretty good.
So what'd you do Sunday?
Anything.
Just recoup and clean up and.
Yeah, Sunday was kind of chill,
just kind of hung out.
Anything planned for today?
Your actual birthday.
Just cake with the kiddos and
stuff Sunday.
I mean, I was up till 5:00 AM
Saturday, so Sunday there was
some sleeping.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's so silly.
My father-in-law was in town.
We hung out on the patio.
Oh.
Yeah, Carmen, I like him.
Yeah, so we're out there for a
while, like, all right, it's
after 5.
I have to get up soon.
Yeah, and you're like, your body
is trained, right?
So excuse me.
So, you know, I could force
myself to stay down till about
9:00.
Right.
Yeah.
And that was it.
It's like, OK, dude, that's
we're going.
We are ready.
We're ready.
This.
Is it there's burning daylight?
We got things to do.
We got shit.
To do so, yeah, I worked on a
couple other things at the house
and I, I got some projects that
I'm working on some very cryptic
secret things.
See how they develop.
Yeah, I stayed busy Sunday too.
And I was like, can't you just
sit down?
I go no, I I can't just sit
down.
Not really built that way.
Right she I go, when do I ever
sit down and just veg out in
front of the TV Right she goes.
OK so I came up here, took the
mic and mic thing apart from the
other room, cleaned up some in
here and stuff set up because
Dana's show was just there so
nice.
I played video games with the
kids, did ya?
Yeah, I've been doing that a
lot.
Good.
Well, now that the babysitter's
upping your experience.
Oh, wait.
Or whatever.
Exactly right.
Yeah, so you have a better
character.
I'm about to hit level 200.
Oh, you need to go out there and
let them come over.
So much easier, right?
You know.
I'd like to be level 400 before
you leave if that would be OK.
Dude, the devotion to get to low
400 it's got to be.
Is it really hard to go from
2:00 to 4:00?
Maybe you got to go out twice
next week.
Well, it it's going to reset
here in like 7 or 10 days or
something, it goes back to level
1.
What's that?
What?
Yeah.
It resets every like 3 months or
two.
Months so nobody can be like a
level 1000.
Yeah, So what happens is it
resets so that you can earn
another battle pass and get
other cool things.
Earn or pay for another battle
Pass.
How does that work?
Well, if you don't spend the V
Bucks right over and over again,
then you can just you acquire
them by earning them more in the
battle pass.
Yeah.
You know what I did do?
What did you forgot?
Well, I totally forgot about
this.
I don't know how you forget
about this.
At a pedicure.
I took my kids to see Deadpool.
Oh, that's right, you didn't
mention it.
You did that Friday.
Deadpool.
Wolverine.
Number one movie in the world
right now.
Fucking every bit of amazing
Terrence Riley does.
Not Riley did not like it at
all.
You know what?
Listen, for Terrence.
I think that, you know, he
peeked it like fucking gone with
the wind or something.
I don't, I don't know what it
is.
It's just absolutely absurd.
The stuff that he said he was
upset about is in it, but I
don't see that's that was.
Every bit of what it should have
been, right?
Deadpool movie, first of all, is
completely sarcastic.
Yeah, lot of lot of over the top
blood.
Yeah, a lot of killing, right,
You know.
I've seen a lot of TikTok people
walked out, but they're.
They walked out churchy.
For what Churchy people and
stuff they didn't like, I guess
they don't like 'cause he calls
them.
Churchy people?
Haven't they seen Deadpool One
people?
Yeah, like, well.
He calls himself Jesus or
something in the movie.
He's Marvel Jesus.
Yeah, that that's pissed some
people off.
Let me make something perfectly
clear.
Yes, Deadpool is Marvel, Jesus,
without question.
Without question, Deadpool is
Marvel.
Jesus, cancel culture just
attacked us.
That's fine.
Unbelievable.
I'll be down to two listeners
now.
How do?
You know the guy on the candle
is the real guy.
You know what's funny?
What's funny to me is like I
brought my 8 and 11 year old to
the movie, right?
Like it was and they fucking
loved it.
Sure they did.
It's the most American thing we
could do this weekend.
Oh, you don't watch any of the
Olympics?
Go no, fuck that.
That's not American.
Everybody hates that now too.
Oh yeah?
Well, if you're talking about
the thing in the beginning,
yeah.
Yeah, well, apparently the
athletes are hating it now too,
so they're moving out of the
village.
You know, look.
Beds suck, no air conditioner,
and now they're bringing in
private chefs because of food
sucks.
Well, it's in France bro.
Yeah, French food sucks.
Anyway, think so.
You would think it'd be good.
Well.
Maybe the food's good, but the
other shits?
Well, apparently in the village
it's all plant based.
Oh, because they're trying to be
eco friendly whatever.
OK, so not a lot of all right,
so we've.
Lost our mind in France a little
bit.
OK, get it.
But like.
What do these athletes eat?
What's the point?
Meat.
They need protein.
Look, all right, so now you got
me dressing so many things.
Number one.
Number one.
He's in overload.
Who I don't.
People being in an uproar about
anything in the Olympics is the
fucking most ridiculous thing
I've heard in my life.
Like, get over yourself if
you're upset, change the
channel, whatever.
Well, it's not all the channels.
OK, well, you know what?
There's Netflix.
I don't know what to tell you.
Not no more.
They're not Netflix.
They've got rid of Netflix now.
There's just a lot of I don't.
Know if because because the
whole Republican or he voted or
somebody.
They gave money, Yeah.
OK, Well listen, the owner of
the company gave money, not the
company.
I don't know how much more so
much you had.
On your list here, look, there's
Hulu.
I don't know, there are options,
but the Paramount Plus maybe a
fucking break.
You know I.
Mean the whole world's falling
apart.
Come the fuck on, man.
You can't go to the movies or
nothing.
I can't wait till election
season's over.
I don't give a fuck.
Whoever wins, I don't care.
Yeah, it's going to be a circus,
intent I.
Just want this over with already
because the the the feed on
social media is already over the
top.
Like I'm just fucking give me a
break.
Over the top.
But look, if I'm an athlete, if
I'm an athlete and I'm in the
Olympics, yes, I'm not banking
on wherever the fuck I'm going
to to provide the food.
I'm making sure that I have all
of those resources squared away.
Yeah, this is normal life.
You can't bring your own food.
OK, so then I would arrive to
France early.
You can't bring your own food.
I'm like fuck you.
I would have things set up.
No, there's rules.
Oh, you can't bring food in,
right?
Are you?
Well, I understand.
Sure is.
It's just like you can't bring
fruits and vegetables from a
foreign country.
They don't want you to bring
them into their country.
You know what?
I like you.
Could land in France, right?
And then you can establish food
sources that you would need on
the weekly basis is that you're
there.
Where are you going to get that
at?
It's not a fucking third world
country.
No, it's not exactly.
But they eat high protein and.
What he's saying is you can't
leave the village.
Right, you can't leave the
village.
They have rules for I'm sure
probably for like PDS and stuff
like that.
Probably why they try to do
that.
They had to get special
permission to bring in air
conditioners.
Because you can bring in, you
can breathe in PED.
All right, well, listen, fuck
friends.
I don't know what to tell you,
but I'm not going to go on
social media about it and be
fucking in an uproar, you know?
Why not?
This seems seems like it's too
much.
That's what that's what you do.
You want to get the attention so
that you get sponsors, so that
you can make some of this money
back.
You've been spending your entire
life to learn how to canoe.
I mean, if the Olympians are an
uproar, that's fine, but if I
see somebody else that's not an.
No, no, it's the Olympians.
It's not.
It's not like we're upset.
I don't care what they eat, I
mean.
There are people that are upset.
Oh.
I'm sure there are, yeah.
Maybe their parents?
No, it's not their parents.
It's like the, you know, I think
30% body fat guy.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know whether the
food I've seen that, you know
that this.
Oh, it's Justin Andrews
interrupting you.
It's Justin Andrews.
It's not Justin Andrews.
I would.
BDPI would mount you like a
fucking face hugger.
Thank you, Mr. Booth.
I've been thinking about that
since I said it.
I've been thinking about it
since you said it when you were
here.
And the only reason why Matt
Booth knew was probably because
he was invited to the party.
Yeah, he was.
Yeah, he was.
I handled that personally.
No video.
No message, no video, no
message.
A lot of people had vacations
planned.
Oh.
Groovers in Colombia.
Yeah.
Mike the mailman is in Alaska.
Yeah, Sam went on a cruise.
Alaska.
Yeah, he's in Alaska.
Yeah.
There were a couple other people
too that had either had cigar
events planned, industry people
or.
Well, you know, that's what you
get for parents banging in,
what, October?
Right.
I mean it, it is summertime, so
you know if you can move your
birthday to maybe November.
I mean, it was a little cooler
out that time, then it was
snuggled up and it's bam.
Baby, maybe next year we do your
birthday in November.
Oh no she you don't get another
party till 50.
Perfect.
She's not.
Going, I don't, I don't, I don't
feel like that's true.
Of Yeah, it's my wife said too
she could No, there'll be one
next year.
Just tell me what she told me.
I don't know, maybe I might walk
this back.
I might go a different
direction.
We'll go down in numbers, go
like 39th birthday.
I'll go back like, like at 41,
you know, maybe not have a
party, you know?
Just maybe we just all sit
around and smoke cigars.
Maybe I'll just go far away do.
You know what I want for a
birthday?
Ready.
I just want.
To.
I just want to go away.
To a quiet place.
Oh, that'll be nice.
No, you don't get to come.
I'm just going by myself.
For your birthday, no.
No, that's what you tell her and
she goes, oh, that'd be nice.
We'll take a trip and you go,
No, no, I just, this is just me.
I want to be with my wife and
kids.
Oh yeah.
Not much of a birthday, but I
love.
Being with the cast, Are you
kidding me?
But.
You do that all the time.
You just thought you went
something different.
Bring it somewhere else.
Oh, you know, yeah.
Go to France, I hear the food's.
Really.
I heard that, you know, we're
going to go to France, but.
You can't leave the village.
I'm going.
To bring my own AC.
The village because the village
will be empty.
Can't leave the village, Yeah.
It'll be a white elephant.
Right.
You know, this year only Well,
for this Olympics only two
countries offered to take it.
I guess nobody wants to do it
anymore.
It's too expensive.
I believe that.
All the building and the venues
and stuff and you don't get a
return on your investment.
There's no ROI, no.
So ridiculous because everything
just sits and starts decaying.
I mean, what are they going to
use it for after the Olympics
are over?
Well, if you watch Billions, he
explains that.
Yeah, obviously you don't watch
Billions, You don't watch
Billions.
I stopped watching Billions too.
Is even the same people on it
anymore?
Can you stop?
Watching it.
Yeah, when?
Bobby Axelrod.
Oh, that's the end, by the way.
When Bobby Axelrod left.
Right, there's been the end of
the show.
Apparently to Phil just said
it's over.
When Bobby Axelrod left, are we
at 30 minutes?
We're at 31 minutes, OK.
Yeah, it's almost.
I stopped watching and then he
came back and I'm like, oh, what
am I going to do?
All right, well, hey, let's
we're going to pause this here.
OK.
And hopefully when we're back,
we're going to find out if we
will have Pete Hernandez or not.
If not, we'll be getting into
the news.
He's upstairs.
All right, so apparently,
allegedly, we'll have Pete
Hernandez.
All right.
Oh.
Yeah, there we go.
All right, now we can hear you
can.
I hit start now or are you done
over there?
You want.
Me to hit the cigar house
somewhere.
No, no, no, no.
We're just going to put it in.
We don't need music again.
It's not a whole new show.
It's the second-half of the
first one.
Just went inside, you know, and
he's writing.
Welcome.
Yeah, go.
Yeah, you know what?
Fuck Alfredo.
Whoa, hey.

That's a terrible bag.
We won't be smoking.
Anymore, I mean, we'll, you
know, hold.
It back, Yeah.
Make sure you can still read all
the addresses on the front that
tell me you didn't cover.
Yeah.
So I bought some samples.
Well, I got some samples I
wanted to share with you guys.
Without making that you never
can tell.
Sometimes we can rendezvous and
circle back on certain things
that we've had in the past and
and want to go forward with in
the in the future.
So would you prefer that we will
you review something on the
Patreon together?
Because I have these placentas

What?
And what an event it was, yes.
Yes, and it was like.
A multi vendor thing with not
many vendors which is great.
Right.
Yeah, I was seeing important
ones.
You know, I was expecting more
cigar guys, you know, more of
the industry cats.
I'm glad they weren't here.
Who did you?
Who did you expect that wasn't?
I thought the.
Best ones were there.
Absolutely.
At least the best one.
Of the ones 17.2g, who did you
expect?
Oh.
I don't know.
Oh, this is the list you're
gonna make his list.
Skip Martin, I thought.
Skip Martin.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, yeah.
He was, he was unavailable.
Unavailable.
I'll I'll tell you what
everybody's answer.
Was he was playing with Poison
Ivy?
Oh, perfect.
Yeah, you can you say that on
the regular one?
Poison Ivy.
OK, yeah, I mean, they're all
nobody likes you said Fuck, I
just hate him.
I'm.
Like what else?
That's OK and that's OK.
Or someone from that camp I
thought would be.
Yeah.
Other people cancelled it the
last minute they had.
They had things pop up.
Notice how I did?
I didn't confirm until the last
minute.
Correct.
Yes.
Pete did not say yes early and
did not show he said yes late.
So he had just a clip I.
Knew I was going, I knew I was
coming we're trying 2024 we are
trying not only not to lie right
in any instance, right.
I don't want to yeah 'cause I
mean, it's easy to I'm.
Sorry, are we bothering you?
No, it's easy to.
It's The Who got the bag from.
They need their bag.
They want their bag back, yeah.
Hey, you didn't pay for the bag.
Yeah, that's right, I am.
Fucking it's, you know, I don't
want to say I'm going to do
something then not do it.
Although I knew I was coming.
I just wanted to make sure that
I'd be here.
And so I didn't give the a OK
until like Thursday last week.
OK.
Or.
Wednesday.
Wednesday.
Thursday, so he repeats the
fence.
I did not have to chase him for
the answer.
So who else?
Who else?
Let's see.
Who else you would you like?
Wow, that guy.
I can't believe that guy didn't
show.
Well, I knew Alfredo wasn't
coming because Terano was coming
from that camp, right?
Yeah, I mean, look, Alfredo
doesn't come anyways.
Yeah, he doesn't come to sell
stuff.
He's not coming for a his.
Girlfriend doesn't say that
though.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah, he gets there quickly.
Well, she knows that he gets
there quickly in a.
Timely.
Fashion.
Timely fashion.
Smoke on the waters right there.
Right, I heard he's not allowed
to go there anymore.
No, he's been exiled.
No, really, that's not true.
I heard.
Well, I've talked about it on
another show I've read.
On the other one.
I'm the one they wish I wouldn't
show up, but I've.
Talked about it on the other.
Show they haven't been asked not
to come back.
Please go on exile man.
This is a 6 by 52.
Let's see.
And anybody?
Yeah, or.
No, this is a small.
It's a smaller.
Yeah, I think it's a 50 by 6 1/2
or six.
Yeah, six.
There's a Toro.
I thought anybody who kind of
lives in the area that didn't
have to travel all over half
across the state.
The two guys that did come did
have to travel halfway across
the state, which doesn't speak
to anything other than their
affection for you.
That's right.
That's all.
That's really what it matters.
So who else did?
That play out the names.
Yeah, who else uses the?
Kind of, you know, I don't know,
I'd have to look in the humidor
to see who coincides with the,
you know, I'm, you know, I
didn't expect.
Which ones rhyme with friend?
I would BDP.
I would mount you like a fucking
face hugger.
I've been thinking about that
since I said it earlier.
Yes, Matt, me too.
Thank you.
What about him?
You thought he was coming.
That guy's coming across the
country.
If he would have been in town,
he would have shown.
Yeah, he was here 2 weeks ago.
Yeah, he would have shown if he
was in town.
Oh, he forgot the date.
It was the he thought it was
them.
I think he just said that.
No, I think he would have shown
up if he if he would have been
on this side.
Yeah.
Who else?
Justin?
I guess that's it.
Pete Johnson.
No, no.
Zaka.
Howard G.
He he had he had events all
weekend.
Yeah.
And I funny thing, yes, I
thought I would G because I had,
I had spoken to him the night
before.
I didn't mention this because
who knows who's invited, but I
did step into the bathroom and
his name was on the screen
because his podcast was coming
through and I he's not here.
Yeah, you might not be allowed
to come here.
No, Matt Hunt.
He's allowed to come here, is

station one night because I
didn't want to wake up.

went to the gas station.
That's the real reason bro.
I wanted a burrito and I got a
burrito, a Taco at Taco Hell,
and on the way out of it was a
McDonald's right there.
So I went in for a double
cheeseburger with extra.
After the tacos.
In between, I didn't eat them in
the car.
I took Smorgasburg home to, you
know.
Laid it out on the buffet, yes.
Laid them across the bed and you
ate.
Yes, that's why you had to peel
the sheets and saw some cheese
everywhere.
And forgot to go to the
bathroom, so then I had to
wiggle my way into the house
anyway, slowly.
Here's a nice piece of shit.
Exactly.
Did you use the one in their
bedroom?
That's where you should have.
Went.
No.
Oh man, it's yeah.

Right, Yeah, It's offered in a
10 count box.
A total of 4000 individually
numbered boxes were produced for
the release and the cigars are
going on sale Tuesday, July
23rd.
So last week.
Beyond the standard Red Edition
regional secondary band, the
cigars also get a bit of a added
decoration.
They have a foot band with the
word podium on them, which while
inside the box, the cigars come
wrapped in blue, white and red
ribbons that invoke thoughts of
the French flag.
Oh wow, right.
Wait, wait.
All right, Artensinio del
Tobacco signs international
distribution agreement.

Yeah.
Your mom gave that to me, right?

That's like the.
That was by the way, Siri says
it perfectly.
Yeah.
Yeah, every time.
Siri says his name.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh my.
My phone does not say your name

Anyway, they're the parent
company of Viva La Vida brand
and announced that it has signed
an international distribution
agreement with the Humidor
project.
Unlike most distribution
agreements, which typically
focus on just one or two
countries, this will cover most
of the world, Africa, Asia,
Europe and the Middle East.
It doesn't mean now that Viva La
Vida cigars will suddenly be
available in 100 countries,
rather.
I mean, you would think that
would be what that means, what
it would mean, hey.
Right, We're going to put you in
all these countries.
We.
Have the ability to.
Just not these countries.
Yeah, OK.
Like Oh no right, that's what
they're thinking, right?
Humidor project now has the
right to market these cigars in
those areas and sign local
distribution distributors to
sell the company's cigars in
those markets.
Companies like Arturo Fuente
uses 3 tier model where singular
entity is responsible for
managing most sales outside of
the US.
So they have the right to hire
other people that may possibly
want to sell their cigars.
Sounds like somebody got fucked.
These countries, yeah, it does.
Yeah, it.
Does like a car salesman I.
Don't know if I'd make the Yeah,
no.
What we're going to do is we're
going to have the rights to sell
your stuff.
Right, but we don't really want.
To.
But if and if we decide to, we
can.
We can, but if we don't want to.
But you still have to give us
money.
Yeah, and cigars, you're going
to have to.
We're going to need some
samples.
Yes, some samples, lots of
samples.
And the bags that Pete carries,
we like those bags.
Yeah, we love those bags.
We love those bags.
The distribution globally by the
Humor Project is a significant
step.
Forward see, Pete walked in,
thought he was like doing a good
thing.
So check this out.
I got to be on the show.
Yeah.
And and then instantly.
Instantly.
Fucking.
He's talking about gay sex.
No bag.
We saw that bag and I was like,
dude.
Rough start, I lost interest in
this story.
All right, moving on.
Well, Gloria Cubana Grand
legato.
Arrives.
I thought that that was the
other one that's the same.
OK, so.
Is that another store?
It's another.
It's another, yeah, but that one
went to France.
That's right.
It's coming to America.
This one.
Yeah, this is.
I see London.
I see France.
Got it.
Yeah, I see La Gloria's
underpants, right?
This has no label.
On his The newest La Gloria
Cubana arriving at America's
cigar shops is made only by
workers who have at least 15
years of experience.
These are that would qualify.
These are the people that didn't
fuck up the measurements.
Yeah, actual wait, no.
So it's not a ten.
Yeah, never mind, never mind.
The cigar is a la Gloria Cubana
Gran Legato A7 and 3/4.
Son of A.
Bitch by 62.

That's big, Salamone.
Oh, oh, it's a Solomon.
Yeah, that uses a Connecticut
broad leaf rap.
Popular.
Size.
High filler tobacco's.
Well, I mean, I can think of
once ago that sells very well.
That is a Solomon, yeah, yeah.
But you just can't get them on a
regular basis.
All you do is charge more for
them and you'll have them in
stock.
True.
Yeah.
What's the which one?
Don't tell him.
Don't tell him.
If he doesn't know what it is.
Don't fucking.
Have no idea, I've never smoked
that.
I had one very good.
Yeah, I've had one very bad
difference of opinion I guess,
and only the one because I
haven't smoked another one.
I have not either.
We have no friends at that
company anymore so it's fine.
Oh yeah, I guess.
Yeah, they've all, they've all
moved on to other.
I mean, friends are not at a
company.
We're always going to be honest
and open about our opinions.
Certainly, but I might not say
that kind of bad stuff, you
know, that was just being mean.
OK, so you're just angry.
When you said that I'm choosing
anger or violence, yeah, yeah,
OK.
Each cigar is an MSRP of 1499
and production is limited to
just 1900 boxes of 10 cigars.
I can practically get smoke
three of those from the fucking
Frenchies, and I got an extra
inch out of that.
Oh yeah.
It's important when you can give
it an extra inch, yeah.
What wouldn't I do for an extra
inch?
Right.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Can you time stamp that?
When Pete said what would I do?
What would I do for an extra
range?
Yeah, time stamp this. 57
minutes.
There's no.
Timer on anything over there?
There's a timer on the board.
Oh, he can't see it.
He's on this.

You didn't know that's how they

assortment of ones you can buy.

OK, let's get that finally.
Finally, the decent stuff.
Like, no good news.
This is what you're.
Telling sharks test positive for
cocaine.
I love that.
According to the marine
biologist who published a study
in Science of the Total
Environment, 13 sharp, no shock
sharks.
I'm sorry, we're tested.
Each shark's liver and muscles
tested positive for high levels
of cocaine, according to the
study.
Yes.
The scientists appropriately
dubbed the study Cocaine Shark.
According to the BBC, experts
believe the cocaine is getting
into the water through illegal
drug labs.
Yeah, go figure.
It's the mystery and I don't
know how it's happening.
That's not that odd.
And Miami, we have square
groupers, so we heard of those
square.
Groupers.
Oh yeah.
Square grouper.
Yeah, I've heard square grouper.
Yeah.
They eat the square grouper and
they're it's a.
Bail.
I know the bail or something
that's.
Why it's square?
I can't.
I can't wait to see the the
poster for this episode.
It's.
Going to probably have poop
inside of a shelf.
Shelf shark mouth.
Maybe it's AI.
Bet you.
Peter Hernandez got a square
group around him right now.
Oh hey, just car in the back of
his car.
It's been a hell of a.
Weekend I'm not going to
confirm.
Or dinner.
He has anything, he has half.
Of a square.
Group and no one is going to
check my liver.
It is not known whether the
cocaine is changing the shark's
behavior or not.
Sharks are always angry anyway.
Oh, is that how that works?
We can't confirm that.
Can't confirm.
When we were up in Destin, FL,
one shark went nuts and bit
three different people.
Right?
Motherfucker, he's going down
the Beverly line right before
he's like you.
Know they found cocaine on him
when they finally.
Yeah, yeah, they found power for
nearly.
