We have backups.

Yeah, but apparently we're going

to use one of these.

We are.

We're having a guest special

episode this Friday.

Oh yeah.

Yes.

Bear is in town.

Bear is in town, but he is at a

work function and unable to

attend coming here.

Oh.

It looked like you were

surprised that person.

Maybe not surprised.

I was super excited, he's

saying.

I was too.

Fuck yeah, dude, yeah.

I was like, yay, bear's here.

We had Bear on the show.

Why we talked to Coop that we're

going to call later in the show

would have been nice because it

was his show we were defending.

Yes, right.

We were defending Bear.

Yes, well, you were.

I just jumped on.

You get angrier than I do.

Passionate.

Passionate.

I'm angry all the time.

I did go after George a couple

of weeks ago, so yeah.

Yeah, I mean, if you look at the

clips that we put on on social

media, you're definitely way

more aggressive than that.

I come across as super chill.

Dude, you better.

Relax and you're like, dab it

off and joints PCA Yeah, you're

all like fucking yeah.

And here I am just super like,

yeah yeah, 4.

Horsemen.

Yeah. 4 Horsemen.

Apocalypse.

Yeah, yes.

The Devadorf.

I like the clip.

The Devadorf, Yeah.

You were the devadorf.

Yes.

So what'd you do, Michael?

What did I do?

I did all sorts of things.

Very busy men, huh?

Very.

Very.

We had basketball started again.

We did that.

Yeah, you went to some night

time football thing.

I guess you're gonna get to that

though.

Sorry, I just haven't think

about it.

I saw a post your wife put a

thing.

Oh no, it wasn't night time.

We went to Levi's football game.

Is that what we're talking

about?

Oh, it looked like it was in the

dark.

It was a big screen in the

background, like a big

Buccaneers.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

We went to the preseason Bucks

game.

Oh, nice.

Yes, we did that Friday.

Yeah.

Oh, did they win?

They did.

Oh, actually, they look good,

man.

Yeah, yeah.

Was that guy still smoking your

cigar?

What guy?

The guy you gave a cigar to he.

Can talk about him, I can't

talk.

No, I was saying his name.

He was about to no.

No, I was just saying.

Right over there, felt.

No, I don't think he was on the

field.

I didn't see him on the field.

Oh, he's probably smoking in the

locker room.

Yeah, probably.

Probably something.

Probably now he's addicted.

Now he's got a.

Problem.

They're not addictive.

Though Are you?

Yeah, that's what I say.

Are those cigars addictive?

No.

No, they're not.

Now he's got a problem.

Only the right cigars.

Phil obviously was at the beach.

Look at that tan that guy's got.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, he was at the beach.

Working beach, yeah.

Working at the beach.

No, I was working at home out on

the hot sun and then went to the

beach.

So.

Friday was the football game.

Yes, we went with the Baldwins.

Oh, did you?

Yeah.

Oh, they were not in the photos.

They weren't.

I did not see.

Them we took some nice pictures

with them.

I didn't see them, but it went

well, you know, It was pre

season game, you know.

How many did your wife go to?

Yeah.

Oh, so you got extra tickets?

I always have four.

I have 4:00.

Tickets Oh, so just couples win,

no children.

It was couples.

It was a couples thing.

Well, Brittany doesn't get to

really go to the game.

Yeah, she doesn't go to many.

So we did the pre season thing,

right?

I don't feel like it was enough

because.

What do you mean enough?

Well, you know, not enough of an

evening for the men.

No.

So like of an experience.

So the first thing that happens

when you drive on fucking I4 to

Tampa, Yeah.

It's terrible.

If it's an hour and a half

supposed to be, it took us

almost 3 hours to get that.

It's terrible.

So because car accident, car

accident, rain all, you know,

there's just whatever.

Thing aliens, so livestock on

the road.

So we still made it a a

relatively good time 'cause you

try and factor that in and we

almost.

You have a lot of time for.

That yeah, we almost had a three

hour cushion, but we wound up

being like a 2 1/2 hour cushion.

OK, so we missed the first

offense to drive.

OK.

And that was the only time the

starters were in, right?

So it's like, OK, so you know,

I'm like.

So she missed all the starting

players?

Yeah, but.

It was still, they were still

fantastic.

What you saw was still

incredible.

You know, the game in itself and

looking at the development of

all the other players, and I

just don't think that it

qualified as enough as a game,

as a good enough, you know?

So she gets another one.

Well, yeah.

Because what happened was she

was getting excited about

things, right?

And the rest of us were just

kind of like, yeah, it was cool.

Oh, does she normally get

excited when you watch the games

at home?

Yeah, yeah.

I didn't know how big a fan she

was.

She's involved, OK?

She's involved all right.

She's a fantasy football player.

She's involved.

Well, the entire family is.

I mean, at this point I think

Teddy is also I, I believe.

Teddy is very adamant about

having her cheerleading around

for Ron.

Yeah.

She's not about that life.

Yes.

She's not happy that it doesn't

fit anymore.

She needs a new one.

Yeah.

She's a new one, Daddy.

Daddy knows.

Me a new one on the way.

Needs a new one.

Yeah, it's on the way, honey.

It's on.

Daddy's got it.

It's coming.

It's coming.

So we're.

Not going to eat next week but

you will have that outfit.

We're definitely listen.

We shouldn't have.

We had.

Food.

We shouldn't have had food.

Months ago, we're definitely in

a recession.

You know, that's OK, we'll get

into that.

Is the recession?

Yeah, people are saying how bad

the economy was.

I went out and had to run some

errands on Saturday and Sunday.

Places are packed.

Somebody's spending money from

somewhere.

Yeah, I mean, I had to go to

Hobby Lobby.

It's a craft store.

It's a giant craft store to get

some elastic string or something

for Adrian, something she was

doing.

Place was packed.

I had to wait in line.

They had five registers open.

Hobby Lobby's always packed,

though.

Yeah, but that's not anything

you have to have.

Yeah, Hobby Lobby is not an

essential store.

It's not an essential store.

It's like Michael's like the

weekend.

That's when everybody likes to

do their things.

I mean, realistically there's

nothing essential than food and

water.

Right, exactly.

But I mean, if you go to a

Target, you can buy, you know,

pharmaceutical type things and

maybe you need food or even

clothing at that point, but do

you need a new chair that's 50%

off that?

It's just a decorative chair.

You can't even sit in it because

it's not going to hold noise

weight.

So you're saying people are

still out there?

Yes, people are out there

spending money.

Look, we all these things.

Do you need a?

Giant metal sign that says bear

crossing.

Listen.

And we all have these magical

things that's plastic.

They're about this big.

Yes, I understand.

Called credit cards.

Yes, Yeah, I know.

That's what I'm saying.

People are still out there

spending.

Money, of course.

Yeah, yeah.

They're always going to spend

money, yeah.

Just.

Yeah, but people are saying the

economy is bad tightening.

Up.

That's 100% accurate.

Well, there's definitely

pullbacks.

It's not a Michael's.

Like though not a Hobby Lobby

apparently.

I mean, I think.

Or Target or Home Depot.

I think there's pull back in the

cigar industry.

Well, yeah, seen.

Across the board, talk to

retailers.

I talk to retailers all the

time.

Everybody says how bad it is.

Well, well, that's an item that

you can do without.

Sure, right.

And the reality is that a lot of

guys that are cigar smokers,

they probably have still some

cigars.

Yeah, you see pictures, people

that.

Start working through some of

that, money's a little tight and

then we start smoking.

Stuff that I have, smoking,

stuff I have and I'm not

collecting any longer that I've.

Accumulated over the past

decade, exactly right, yes.

So what's important is that you

make something.

That they have to have.

Right.

Right.

And that's where this industry's

kind of falling off.

People are making things people

have to have.

I think that a lot of people are

still trying to cut corners and

make bullshit, you know?

Yeah, making bad cigars, right?

I agree.

So.

You're doing terrible interviews

on podcasts and things.

That's OK.

Yeah, we're, we're going to.

Address that.

We're going to address that I'm.

Sorry, I'm still worked up.

I'm sorry I'm.

Still worked up so.

I'm just waiting on the phone

call.

You're so angry just waiting on

the phone call just.

Waiting on the call.

You know, I really.

Like you in the the Postagna.

Shirt that you wore?

Which one?

The one you like?

Red.

Oh, I looked terrible in there

without the shirt tail.

You think so?

Yeah.

Yeah, I didn't.

Like I thought it was great.

I like the caller today, yeah,

Yeah.

But you know, I think that.

Well, I mean, I still have to

dress for the other job, I just

don't wear the jacket.

Yeah, yeah, as national sales

manager, I like seeing you on

the podcast.

Oh, A.

Little a little nicer clothes.

Yeah, instead of a dress like

me, like.

Right.

Yeah, there's one that replays

upstairs where we both have on

black T-shirts and and blue

jeans and sneakers.

Yeah, it looks very bad.

It looks bad.

It looks bad.

You think it looks?

Bad.

Because we match.

Only it looks.

Bad.

No, because we match.

It looks bad.

Matchy.

Yeah, we're matching matchy.

Matchy matchy.

Matchy, matchy matchy matchy.

So Saturday we had basketball.

Yes.

Did you win?

Justice's team won.

Jack's team lost by two in

overtime and how's?

How's the boys?

I'm doing great.

Good.

Yeah.

Good to go.

He's good to go.

I don't.

Get the newsletters anymore for

the family.

I apologize to work on that.

Thank you.

I I will notify.

Because apparently Mika even

changed her hair color I saw.

Oh, I you know what?

I saw that on the top of my

Facebook storyline.

Yes.

I didn't click it though.

I was like, oh.

I looked at it, looks nice.

It's copper.

Yeah, yeah, mixing it up.

Yeah, she's living her best

life.

Sure she is.

Yeah, of course.

New mother.

She's got her own house.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's just hair appointments,

apparently.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, she's that sort of

thing.

She's the she's a Real Housewife

of.

Is she staying home with the

child?

Is she watching the child every

pretty much or is she homework?

She's staying home.

Good for her.

Yeah, good for Nick.

You can afford to do that.

Yeah, Yeah, it's going well

good, at least from what we can

tell, Yes.

Yeah, you never know.

He could be beating or.

Behind closed doors, it could.

It could.

There's no bruises, so he's

good.

He knows how to cover it up.

He's doing a good.

Job.

He knows the phone book.

It's very sneaky crafty, that

Nick.

I see the movies, I don't know

how that works.

Knows Greeks with the high

temperature so.

So Britney's car is getting

close to getting out of

warranty.

We're like approaching the 30.

1000 miles.

That's where you get rid of it.

And there's some sensor issues

and stuff.

Get fixed.

So we go to turn it in.

Right.

At the dealership.

Yes, yeah.

You know I set the appointment

you.

Have set an appointment.

Oh yeah, yeah.

So they say, hey, when do you I

hate bikes, When do you want to

bring it?

I said soon as.

Possible.

It's about to.

Bring, yeah, bring it tomorrow

at 8:30 AM.

Like, OK, perfect.

And then the person is and do

you want to wait for it or do

you want to come get it later?

I said oh, I'll wait.

I thought you're turning it in.

Well, they meant like for

service.

Yeah, like, oh, I thought like

the lease was up and you get rid

of oh, no.

Oh, OK, I.

Got to get these things fixed on

February.

She and the.

Thank you for clearing that up,

Phil.

It was very nice.

No.

Problem.

And the girl on the phone says

you got to wait for it.

Oh, wait, wait.

I was like, yeah, why is it

going to be a while to fix these

couple things?

Well.

It'll be Tuesday.

And say, well it's at least 48

hours.

I was.

Like then why did you ask me if

I wanted to wait?

Yeah, I'm like, OK, it's.

Rhetorical.

This shit just doesn't.

It's on the paper.

It's on the paper, Sir.

Nobody says yes.

Here's the shit that I laugh

about is, you know what's really

funny, really funny is when the

economy was surging, right?

This fucking service sucked

because everybody was so fucking

busy.

Right.

And now that the economy is

going down, still sucks.

Service fucking sucks because

oh.

We're to lay people.

Up.

We're short staffed.

It's.

Like so when is service going to

be a?

Good service.

When I just want it to be

decent.

Just, you know, it doesn't have

to be stellar, just somewhere in

between reasonable and fucking,

you know, excellent.

I don't know, you know.

It's a wide range wide.

Range like just give me just

give me a, you know, like answer

the phone when I call.

Right.

And tell me what's going on.

Act like I just spent $120,000.

Yeah.

So we drop off.

So we're going to drop off the

car, OK?

And you didn't wait.

No, obviously. 48 hours, yeah,

should have showed up with a

suitcase.

So we're going to have the car,

but I'm I'm still waiting, but

I'm thinking it's going to be

two.

Days Where's the three hots and

a cot I'm?

Thinking it's going to be two

days, OK.

They called you before.

You so we dropped off the car.

No, we no, we dropped off the

car and Brittany says how long

do you think it's going to be?

And the guy says do you want the

honest answer?

Like, Oh no.

Like no, I want you to fucking

lie.

Lie to me like what the?

Fuck, make something up.

Like what?

What?

He goes.

It's gonna be at least five to

seven days for the diagnostics.

Of the vehicle.

Michael Joseph, fuck you there.

Burn you with my.

Smoke Wait five to seven days to

find out what's Wrong with it

just to look at all the.

Things.

Oh wow.

How much is wrong with this?

Car look in the muffler.

It's got, I mean, we're talking

about minuscule things they.

Hook it to a machine.

Like the washer fluid doesn't

work, it needs a new sensor that

wasn't installed in the rear end

of the of the vehicle.

The AC kind of flip flops, turns

on and off.

Oh, that's a lot of things.

At the beginning.

And I think there's one other

thing.

That's a lot of problems.

They're all like small things,

so it's like, OK.

Yeah, my my washers thing has

not worked since the day I had

the car.

I just don't care.

Well, your thing was yeah, but

your car?

It was not a brand new vehicle.

Yeah, 120,000.

Dollars.

You fucking bought your car with

an ALDI fucking gift card.

Pretty much just turned it in.

You handed them some bananas and

they gave me the car.

Yeah, I don't do anything to.

It yeah, it was a great deal.

Great deal.

Yeah, it's been paid for for

three years or something like

that.

So it's like, OK, let's go get

your rental.

Like, you know, obviously you

need a rental car.

Did they provide the rental?

No like.

So do you have a loaner like Oh

no.

No.

OK, that's why the economy is

good.

But maybe.

You can contact GM and they

should refund you.

I'm like, OK, pretty OK.

Perfect.

Yeah, that's not going to

happen.

So so we.

Walk into Enterprise.

Hey, we need a rental, OK, What

kind of car?

I need a full size SUV.

Oh.

We don't have those.

We don't have those.

They never have them.

Does she need a full size

rental?

Hold on.

Don't you get ahead of yourself,

Mr. Palmer.

Sorry, we don't, we don't accept

walk-ins right now.

Yeah, yeah.

You have to set.

You have to set an appointment.

All right?

I go outside, turn on the app,

set my appointment, walk back

into this motherfucker, Right?

Exactly.

And I say, hey, I just set my

appointment.

I need a.

Full size SUV because it said

you had one available or you had

several available.

Oh no, that doesn't work.

Wait, wait.

Wait, I made the appointment.

So wait you.

But I just that doesn't work.

No, that doesn't work.

No, but if you'd like this

little Datsun.

Like no, so yeah.

So the app doesn't talk to the.

Brand you have a pickup truck in

case he rented for his podcast.

So we're going to put you on a

waiting list.

All right?

Wait, what?

We're going to put you on a

waiting list for a car, for SUV.

All right, OK, whatever.

So I pick up the.

Phone.

So I pick up the phone and I

call Enterprise.

I call Enterprise at.

Up to 2000 number or whatever.

No, I call pile deals, like

start calling other ones.

Hey, do you have SUV?

Yeah, we got SUV.

Yeah, come and get it.

properly.

So we don't.

Well, who did you call?

We have all colors, blue, red,

yellow, all colors.

Something OK, put me back on the

fucking waiting list of the

other one 'cause that was close

to my house.

Let's go back on the waiting

list and we pop back in the next

day after the basketball.

Game so so me so how long is the

waiting list?

Hold on, this is a story

actually.

So you you have no car at this

point, right?

So we have my car, which is

fine.

Right, right.

And it's the weekend, so that

works out.

But come Monday, come Monday, we

need a fucking another car walk

back in.

Hey, am I on the waiting list

headlights?

We don't.

We don't do waiting lists.

Wait, do we have a waiting?

List.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We have a waiting list.

Got you down.

And I think we have an SUV being

So if you call back around, if

you call back around 1:00, we

should have an SUV.

So this is Sunday.

This is Saturday, I said.

Perfect.

I'll call you at 1:00.

Cancelled.

Yeah.

Isn't it first come first serve?

I don't know you have set an

appointment.

Well, it's got to be turned in

back out, I could pick it up.

OK, so I call it one.

Right.

Hello.

No one answers.

No one here.

Nobody.

This is booby.

Nobody do not answer.

Phony this man for a few.

Boobs, cousin.

Nobody fucking answers.

Did you try a different place I.

Tried everywhere.

I mean like.

What about Greg's rental

service?

He's got like 5 cars.

Hey, go get the.

Van I fuck with national or

enterprise?

Those are the two companies I

like, so I tried at.

This point anymore at.

This point I'm calling dollar,

I'm calling Hertz, I'm calling

OJ so.

No car on Saturday.

Got a Bronco?

You got a Bronco?

So I call on Sunday.

Hey, do you have an SUV?

I'm supposedly on a waiting

list.

Yeah, it's good morning, like.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like.

This is where tensions get super

high.

This is like the guy who put the

dumpster in his driveway.

I got a Tahoe here for you and

we got a Wagoneer as well that's

going to be cleaned.

Up you can pick which one you

want.

OK, I said, you want the top of

the Wagoneer.

She's like, well, maybe I want

the Wagoneer.

I'm like, you don't want the

fucking Wagoneer.

See, this is the thing when

you're when you're married, you

know a person's sure, sure,

right?

You know all the all the You're

not.

Going to like the Wagoneer.

You gave her a decision though,

like the lady said about waiting

for the car.

Because like a Jeep, any type of

Jeep is going to ride hard.

Yeah, they're right.

Yeah, they're they just all.

Ride fucking hard.

Adrian wanted a Jeep, so I made

Jet drive her in his and she's

like, oh, I don't, this is

terrible.

Yeah, I know.

I've had three.

That's the way it works.

Even the luxury ones I would

assume, I don't know, but I

would assume that the Wagoneer

is going to be the same way,

same way.

I'm the same way.

I'm not driving.

The same way Wagoneer's the same

way, it just has better.

Doors right, Right.

So we.

Pull up and there's a Suburban

in the car return.

Is it yours?

No.

Yeah, it's from across the.

Street, it's yours from the

dealership.

Rent.

Just fuck around.

We get it fixed, they get it

back for seven days.

Economy's bad, we got to pay.

So I'm like, hey, I'm going to

go in and see what's going on

and see if maybe I can get the

Suburban.

You want to go?

Do you have an appointment and?

Who are you?

I'm like, I've been here before,

motherfucker.

Damn it, Bobby.

So.

They were very nice at that

point.

Yeah, they're scared of you.

They should be right?

But I was still cool.

I I wasn't.

Probably in a tank top, a little

biker shorts at this point.

Like I'm just ready now.

I wasn't agitated and.

You're singlet you.

Can I was I was agitated, but I

didn't let them know that I was

agitated.

Oh, you could tell you don't

hide it very well, Michael.

So.

So Brittany's outside and she's

checking out the wagon in the

air and she's.

Oh this is nice.

I like.

This, I'll take this one

actually, it's a little bit

tighter in the back seat or

whatever, but it'll be fine.

I won't ride in the back Tron or

whatever.

So I said, listen, we need the

Suburban.

Is the Suburban available?

Like we can get that cleaned up.

It's a little bit more money,

but whatever.

I said, OK, perfect.

Just give me the fucking

Suburban.

Don't even have to clean it.

No, I said.

Clean the car, We'll wait.

And we'll take the yeah, with

the waiting.

We'll take yeah.

We want to wait like.

Three to four days, yeah.

For cleaning.

Sorry Sir, actually somebody

just rented.

It yes, I rented it online.

It was rented online for Pine

Hills.

Online.

Sorry, it's gone.

Should have rented it.

It's gone.

So I while.

It was being clean turned,

someone else took.

It so I go out and I said to

Brendan, I said.

Listen, we got to the suburban

I.

Went to waking the air.

Well, she goes well.

Don't you dare, Michael Jones

have burn you with.

No, I mean, so she's like, but

all those other two vehicles

would have worked.

And I said, listen, I know you,

right?

I know you better than you know

you.

Sure.

I need to get as close as

possible to the same vehicle

that you're used to.

Right.

So that you don't get annoyed

with any of this shit because I

don't know how long this is

going to be.

Right, Houston, we have a

problem.

You can be stuck with this car.

For weeks for. 2-3 weeks, maybe

a month, I don't know.

We might have to buy it.

Like, and there are going to be

times where you're going to get,

I know you, you're going to get

frustrated with things if you're

in this Wagoneer or if you're in

this Tahoe.

Sure.

Trunk space, how it rides,

whatever.

She's thinking it's an

opportunity to drive something

different.

And that's what I said.

I go.

You I I get because I have done

this like I have when you

travel, you rent cars like sure,

I I know this from my experience

and knowing you that either one

of these cars is eventually

going to become a a mistake.

Sure.

It's like, OK, I think that's a

little ridiculous, The.

Longer you have it right, the

more likely something's going

to.

Happen, right?

I think it's a little

ridiculous, but whatever is it

was there.

Was there leather in all of

these?

No, I don't know, maybe.

Yeah, I would assume.

Perfect.

OK, All right, so we got the

bourbon.

Sure.

And we get to the house and I

beat her home and so she's

backing up.

Oh no, did you get the interns?

She's backing up and she's she's

got a look of disdain on her

face and I said, what's wrong?

And she goes, well, this one, it

doesn't have the 360 cameras

that I'm used to for backing up

and correcting things.

It just has a standard camera.

I go and this is exactly my

point, like this is as close as

we could have gotten to your

vehicle and it still is going to

fall short.

Right.

It's still going to fall short

of what you needed, so thank God

we got this one, because I'll

tell you right now if you'd have

pulled in with the fucking

Wagoneer at the top.

Not had a camera at all.

You would have been fucking

irate halfway down the road

driving home, right?

So I said, hey, is it OK if I

talk about this on the podcast?

She said, yeah, but you better

not talk about me like I'm

fucking, you know, I'm like,

don't worry, I'm not going to

too late.

I'm not going to hold you in bed

light.

Me and Palmer were not involved

in the recording of this.

Yeah, we we had nothing to do

with this is the way he made you

look better.

But he actually clipped all of

her voices in.

That's right, we're not even

here.

It's all him.

I told him not to talk about it.

What's in the box?

So.

This is a box from Justin

Andrews that he'd like me to

open.

Justin Andrews sent you a

package.

He did.

Why is Justin Andrew sending him

packages?

'Cause he did.

Are we supposed to give a shin?

I want one of those cut out

Justin Andrews hooker board that

they stood.

No, you know what I liked?

So I saw that post on Facebook,

so please post put it up here.

Yeah, I want it but.

No, I'm just put it up on the

post.

Yeah.

But you know what's really kind

of funny is like he looks a

little bit more pudgier in the

photo with him.

He.

Looks a little.

Gay with the with the

lumberjack, maybe?

You don't know his preferences

maybe?

Well, he he's married or has a

girlfriend or.

Something you don't know.

We've talked, we've talked to

him with her on the phone

before.

Maybe it's could be, I guess,

maybe.

No.

I mean, I don't care if he's

gay.

That's fine with me.

Yeah, I don't care.

Yeah, it's his life.

Let him live his life, Sure.

There's no judgement here if.

He wants to be a lumberjack,

right?

Let him be a lumberjack.

With that pouty look on his

face.

Magnum Yeah.

You don't have a camera.

Should you throw it and let

Michael opening?

No, go ahead.

It's it's not for us.

It's for him.

Oh.

There's no camera.

That's what I mean.

You don't have a camera.

I can open it and do the.

I have to put my hand behind it.

Is that how it works?

Yeah, if it's a cigar, you do,

yeah.

Was that the end of the store

though?

You didn't finish the store.

That was it.

Sure, she's already upset with

the car.

Yeah, do.

You want me to fire her up?

Look, I'll call her real quick.

No, no, no, don't.

Fire up, don't fire.

Up.

No.

Yeah, we need content.

I don't.

Watch.

I don't know.

Palmer No, don't fire.

Hello.

Hey, we just.

Spoke, you're on the.

Podcast we just spoke about the

adventures of car rentals and I

held I held you in a good light.

I just simply say stated.

I just simply stated that he.

Made you look crazy.

I did not make her look crazy.

I didn't.

I didn't say that.

You know what's so funny is you

just said no, don't call her,

don't fire her up.

Meanwhile, you're over here

fucking that's.

Why I didn't want you to call

her.

I knew what it'd say.

Shut the fuck up over there.

What?

What did I say?

Was it first world problems or

something like?

That yeah, it's just, you know,

it's OK.

Go ahead.

In my in my dissect.

OK, first of all, yes, I like my

car.

I have a really nice car.

I enjoy the 360 camera around

it.

That's what I'm used to.

I was just a little thrown off

when I went to go back up and it

was just the backup camera.

Oh.

Yes, that's exactly what I said,

Exactly what he said.

Mm hmm, mm, hmm.

She can't wait.

To listen to this now.

Oh yeah, this way 'cause I may

be calling back in now.

Well, it's not live.

You have to call back next week.

Yeah, you have to recover.

Yeah, yeah.

So take notes.

Let's just get this straight,

OK?

Yes, I have a nice car and I

enjoy these nice things.

However, that was the only

Suburban that was available when

we purchased a new car, correct?

Yes.

OK.

So if there was other ones we

probably would have gotten the

Lt.

Right.

Is the Lt. lower than what she

has?

Correct.

It is.

It is OK.

It's a little different when you

go from driving with really dark

tinted windows to not tinted

windows to a little hotter.

OK, well.

He didn't mention that.

Well, this is an experience.

I just I this is today I got

this.

Is today, this is today, this is

oh, it's so hot in here.

Yeah.

Michael, you have to get this

tinted tomorrow.

Look, I might have this for two

weeks.

Look, I want her to have the

best experience on a daily

basis, so make sure the car is

get.

That thing tinted Michael

tomorrow, no.

Problem I've got spoiled my

suburban before, the ones that I

have now was literally falling

apart OK.

Yes, Oh yeah, the black one.

Right, the black one.

Yeah, he also opened up on me

while I was driving on 4/30.

Wheels come off.

It was terrible.

Yes, yes.

Yes, everything OK so yeah, so,

so I got a nice car that was the

only one that was available the.

Only one.

That was the only one.

And it happens to have a 360

camera, right?

I, I it's not your fault.

I don't.

Understand.

No.

No.

No, it just came with it.

That's just the way it worked.

Right, Michael?

Makes perfect agree with her,

Michael.

I totally agree.

Why are you laughing, Michael?

Oh wow, he is not laughing.

What?

Else did you say what else?

That was all I said.

That was it.

That's all he said.

You were.

You were so.

Excited to do the podcast today

because of my comment of the

backup camera.

No, no, no, it was.

It was a wonderful story.

He told the entire thing start

to finish, from the four days

for the car to be ready to the

72 hour wait for the car and.

Did he, did he say, did he tell

you that the suburb is more a

day than the other vehicles that

we had signed?

Up for yes, yes, he said.

It was slightly more expensive,

but he wanted you to have the

best.

Right, OK.

But I told him I would have went

for the Wagoneer that.

You could not have driven a

Wagoneer.

And did I say?

Wagoneer will drives like a

Jeep.

You do not.

You would not be.

Comfortable with a Wagoneer?

I just want.

A Jeep drives like no other car.

It is very rough.

Ride.

I know you better than you know

you as you know me better than I

know me.

I.

Don't know why I feel on such

edge right now.

I'm like.

Boots is scared right?

Or Phil is scared right now for

some reason.

You're making me feel like I'm

some like Princess, that I need

a certain certain thing.

But I mean, I take the kids

around everywhere.

There are multiple times where I

have other people's children in

my car.

I can't go down to A5 seater,

no.

And football's coming up where I

like all the stuff.

The wagon.

We all agree, certainly.

I'm not disagreeing with.

Nobody disagreeing with anything

I'm not.

Disagreeing with me and Palmer

definitely agree.

I'm not disagree with anything

you're saying and I want to make

sure.

Think you're very unappreciated

and an even nicer car?

I want to make sure if I if I

can afford a nice car, She yeah.

It's like a limousine.

She needs to be driven.

I mean, listen.

First off, First off, OK, First

off, there was an Escalade at

the Enterprise in Winter Park,

but you know, whatever, we

didn't, we didn't go to that.

Well, that did.

Not come out.

Here, you should have got the

Escalade back.

You didn't mention there was an

Escalade available for the young

lady.

That was at a different

location.

Well, you went to Pine Hill.

You can't go to Winter Park.

But he didn't want to be fooled

by Bob again.

Oh yeah, on the phone.

So yeah.

There's.

Totally an Escalade over here.

You'll come get down.

He told you how aggravating he

got with the the guy on the

phone in India.

Yes, yes, he did he.

Did he hung up on me?

Oh wait, no, he didn't say

anything about.

It I didn't say I'm.

Passionate.

He was very passionate about his

phone call.

You know what?

I don't even know why I'm doing

this.

That did happen.

I locked out too.

I was like what the fuck is

going on?

Yeah.

Michael, Mike I.

Just want to make sure you're

good.

And I will, I will scalp

everybody to make sure that

you're.

Good.

That's right.

OK.

I'm good.

I mean, I do wear Costco

clothes.

Yeah.

That's I like that she's

defending herself.

Yes, yeah.

No, she.

Is like.

This is that motion.

She needs probably needs new

shoes too.

Honestly, the woman's shoes, she

honestly feels like she thinks

that we attacked like I attacked

her in the story, but I didn't

at all.

Yeah, what's this we stuff like?

Yeah.

Well, he corrected himself.

He did correct himself.

We talked.

To you yesterday said, oh, can I

talk about this on the podcast

Because God forbid I make a

comment about the backup camera

not being the same as my cock.

I happen to really love my cock.

You're focusing on this backup

camera, he said.

It just in passing.

It was not the focus of the

story.

Yeah.

Oh well, that's what He what?

It was, it was humorous to me.

It was humorous to me.

It was sure.

It was the look on your face,

yes, of discontent.

Not even knowing what it was

yet.

Yeah, there was just something

wrong with the car, Yeah.

Your car.

That is fucking bullshit.

Your car was in the driveway and

when I went to go reverse I used

the 360 to see all around me.

So I was certainly startled when

I couldn't see your car.

I didn't want to hit your car.

Right.

She was doing it for you,

Michael.

I appreciate that.

Yeah.

So thank you very much.

You're an amazing woman.

I love you very.

Amazing woman, completely

unappreciated in this family.

All right, I'm going to go home.

I'm going to throw all your

fucking chicken that I grill.

Oh, you begged your grilling

chicken?

Oh good, there was a week there

we didn't have grilled chicken.

There, it was a rough week.

It was a rough week, he was.

Eating peanut butter and Jelly

sandwiches.

On crustables, yeah, Crustables

make it work, that's where.

They all went, yeah.

Well, he brought 7 every day.

Yeah, it's bulking season.

Oh.

My God wouldn't share A1.

All right.

Well, I love you.

Did you talk?

About Wait, did you talk about

our experience at Volcano Bay

yesterday?

No, no, no.

I.

Haven't gotten that.

No, no, no.

No, the show's only half over.

We have that for the second-half

of the show.

You want to go ahead, Go ahead,

go ahead.

We're we're OK.

So daddy wants to go to Volcano

Bay.

We finally get the car right, So

we're heading to Orlando.

There's a massive fucking

tropical storm approach, right?

And I'm showing him the radar

and I'm like, Mikey, no, it's

not looking good.

But I don't want to be the

person to, you know, crush

everybody's feelings and say,

hey, look, I don't think we

should do this right?

But that's what my husband does

to me.

He leaves it to.

Me mommy says we shouldn't go

kids.

I don't know what to tell you.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Mommy says it's going to rain.

The Dark.

Daddy would go.

Coming in.

Yeah, exactly.

If Mommy wasn't here, Daddy

would take everybody.

Just so you know, Daddy likes to

go we're.

Pulling in and I'm like, I don't

know, It's not looking good.

It's not looking good.

It'll be fine.

It'll be fine.

It's OK.

It's all going to work out.

It's all going to work.

Out is what I like to say.

That's what I like to walk.

Into the fucking park.

No.

No sooner do they scan our tags,

it starts fucking raining.

Yeah, OK, then we start walking

into the park.

At the water park.

Then we start walking into the

park and we hear the

announcement due to weather and

in the area everything is shut

down.

Due to severe weather in the

area, all rides are closed.

So we had a huddle in the corner

outside the bathroom because

there's no really indoor places

that Volcano Bay bring you to

hot, right?

And he's telling the kids Mommy

closed all the rides, guys, we

should go home.

Yep, exactly, exactly.

So anytime, anytime.

So then we get to now lightning

strike.

OK, and I don't do lightning

right now.

He's This is Mikey, the

meteorologist, counting.

Meteorologist Michael Nice.

That one was 15 miles away.

OK, so now he's doing this with

Jack.

Oh, don't worry, guys.

That one was 20-3 miles away.

Yeah.

We're counting the lighting

strikes.

Oh, counting the lighting as

noise.

As they're going away.

He said that and a fucking

lightning bolt dropped inside

the park.

Oh wow, everyone's fucking.

It was a rare one.

It was a rare.

Yeah, it.

Got away.

Rogue and then.

It where a rare rogue lightning

bolt.

It was not Rogue, because then

he continued to calm down.

Oh.

There were more.

More to where Teddy and I had to

run into the bathroom and hide.

She's fucking panicking.

Her heart is racing.

Him and the boys went into the

other bathroom.

Yeah, so then we sat at Volconia

Bay for maybe two hours and then

left without doing.

Anything you know kids, I'm so

sorry.

So mommy brought the lightning

bolts and Teddy would never

break the.

That's why you're telling the

boys in the men's room.

OK, all right.

So wait a second.

Did we go to City Walk

afterwards?

Yeah, we did go to City Walk

afterwards and Cowfish, because

you were not saying no to that

after what you just put us

through for those two hours.

Did we have dinner?

That's.

Where you get the Brussels

sprouts right?

No.

I thought we didn't get them.

They they do have good Brussels

sprouts.

Did we did not get the Brussels

sprouts?

Did we have a good time at

dinner?

Yeah, yeah.

No, it was great after, you

know, almost dying two hours.

Being struck by lightning.

So did it all work out?

I fucking hate you, I have to

go.

I love you.

Goodbye.

Have a good day, love.

You.

Oh, she didn't say love you.

She hung up.

She said it.

No, I.

It was very adamant in calling

you.

Was that skip again?

No, that was that was CC mobile

or that was Spectrum.

Oh, all right, finish your box

there, boss.

Yeah, what's in the What's in

the box?

What's in the Justin Andrews?

I love Phil.

I love Phil.

I hope it's a mini cut out from

his photo shoot.

I hope it's fossilized feces.

Let's see, it's a lighter and a

cutter and apparently that's it.

It's a diesel lighter.

Yeah.

That's OK.

You don't have to show.

It's just a That's great now.

Yeah.

Is it?

Completely out of focus.

All we saw was your big pale

paw.

It looks like a cutter.

Oh, there you go.

Oh it.

Looks like a knock off socket

cutter.

Cutter in a liner.

Oh, do we?

Can we sell this?

No.

No.

Well, I can do what you want.

You know, just go ahead and take

your time crinkling the show.

Yeah, crinkling, crinkling the

stuff over.

That's nice.

Keep doing that, Rick.

We're.

Just going to stop telling him

when we're doing the show.

Yeah, I guess so.

We do it on a different we're

doing it on.

Tuesdays, yeah, they just go to

the liner in a car.

Yeah, Liner and cutter.

Justin, he probably sent him to

himself.

Not even from Justin Anders.

He probably bought them.

He bought them, yeah.

Do you buy that because this is

an Amazon?

Where can you buy diesel stuff?

Amazon.

Can you?

Sure. eBay.

Yeah, people traded.

I don't.

Even have an eBay account.

Maybe your wife does.

We don't know who all Phil

knows.

It seems like an eBay account be

something Phil has does.

Phil have a wife.

I feel like Justin Andrews.

Yeah, she she tried to divorce

him when he got lost in the

jungle.

She ran off with that other guy

for a short amount of time.

I feel like Justin Andrews is

just so disconnected.

From the industry.

It just gives stuff to Phil, I

guess, yeah.

He was at Rocky Mountain Spotted

thing.

He was at the Rocky Mountain

Spotted fever tick event though.

Everybody's at the Rocky

Mountain.

Yeah, everybody was fucking

lumberjack.

Yeah, it's with his.

His.

Foo Foo Lumberjack.

Never.

Answered.

I appreciate that.

Why does he need that?

Is he that big a celebrity now?

He's trying.

Is he?

So that's what you have to do.

You have to get.

I'm going to get one though.

You should still.

We're going to get you one.

We should get me one.

Yeah, yeah.

In the same shirt.

Oh, in the same shirt.

Yeah, I don't know.

You know, I have one of those

shirts and mine's blue, I think.

Yeah, then we're going to post

you up against the wall.

Oh, with my foot, with the with

the pointy cowboy boots.

Yeah, nice.

Nice.

Well, enjoy your lighter and

cutter.

Yeah, enjoy that.

I've not seen this lumberjack

man.

It's very nice.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's on social media, you know,

No big deal, all right?

So did you.

Thanks.

What'd you do?

I mean, I had a lot.

Nothing comparable and I mean

the the wife redid the

countertops all weekend so I

really just had to stay out of

the way.

OK.

Except when she got started.

Yeah, yeah, I did cut the grass.

Yeah.

When she got started, she was

like, take the box and read the

instructions and then help me.

I'm like, I don't want to do

this, so I have to learn how to

do it and then teach you.

This is not my idea of doing the

countertops.

I didn't sign up for this.

Yeah, this, this is not, I'm not

artistic, I'm not this type of

work.

I'm like a rough Carpenter.

I don't do this kind of

finishing stuff, but so and they

don't come with instructions

anymore.

You got to scan the QR code and

then you have to read the

instructions.

But it's very simple now to read

the countertops.

There's no sanding, there's no

buffing, there's none of that

now, right?

You just put the base coat on

and then you have to streak it

and then put the top coat on.

So good.

To go, Yeah.

Just time consuming.

You got to wait 4 hours to

drive.

Improving your rental property.

Yeah, so.

Well, I don't know.

I mean I didn't mind the Peach

ones before but apparently she

hated them.

OK, so hey.

Or what color are they now?

They are kind of a white with

grey marble.

Streaks.

Very nice.

Did you put up pictures I didn't

see?

I haven't really been on social

media this week.

I did just see the Justin

Andrews thing.

Both.

Yeah, well, I tagged you.

And the Justin Andrews.

Thing, Yeah, why don't we have

one of these?

Oh, that makes sense.

Yeah, that's probably why I saw

it.

Probably and then you are all

you are always nice and common

in all the post Nanya mafia of.

Course.

Yeah, of course.

Like to show my appreciation.

Certainly, Yeah.

Who else won hands that haven't

got hands yet or what?

Do they have to go in the thing

to see their name?

I mean, we've gotten 3 basically

counting Gruber.

Well, I have Jim from Santa

Clara.

How many did you do?

Four or five?

Five.

So it's 234.

Yeah.

So you're taking care of Jim?

I don't have to take care of

Jim.

Yeah.

Yeah.

OK.

So I guess there's only one more

floating around out there

somewhere.

All right.

OK.

There you go all.

Right, you ready to call Coop

and?

The other one's groover.

Right, Groover, But you said

we're not sending that.

He's got to come get it.

Yeah, He's busy playing golf and

going to Costa Rica.

And why was he at the Rocky

Mountain thing?

He's not a he's a Florida Rep.

I have no idea because Terrence

can't fly along.

Well, he wasn't really with

Terrence.

He was with the the Miami Vice

tube cigar, Monte Lago or more

Lago or whatever that's called.

He was with him.

El Milagro.

Yeah, that's it.

I know, just curious, maybe you

wanted him?

Because Terrence had Fabian so.

Oh, I saw Fabian up in Lake

Country.

Lake Country?

Yeah, he was there too.

Yeah, that's all he does.

He's a very busy man.

Yeah.

They're busy.

Nice guy.

Love Fabian.

He is, he is a very nice man.

All right, all right.

Do we get a call Coop?

Yeah, let's give Coop a call,

all right?

Hey, guys.

Cigar media king, here he is Mr.

Cooper.

One and only William Cooper.

What's up buddy?

Called right right on time.

Good to see you guys.

Look at that.

See.

See, we, we're very punctual.

We deliver.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Good for good.

Yes, yes.

So you have a grievance.

You feel that I have been unjust

in my my comments of 1.

Casey Johnson's appearance on a

Bears show.

Is this correct?

I know you don't have a lot of

time, so we're going to get

right in.

Leading the witness We're we're.

Going to get right into it.

Yeah.

No, no, I don't have a problem

that you said.

Hey, the guy, you know, the guy

was doing it without great

lighting anything.

That's totally fair game.

But when you say that this

industry needs to do better, I I

think there's a lot of other

things the industry needs to do

better on.

And that's just, that's just

kind of nitpicking and that was

my point.

Well, I would agree that there's

several different things the

industry needs to do better, but

there are certain things though

that more apply to us as media

or podcast people that we should

have more control of than say,

you know, something else.

What was that Bear's

responsibility or Casey's

responsibility?

Well, I can tell you that it

doesn't have to be Bear's

responsibility.

Because it was Casey's.

Because.

Bear's my friend, so I'll go

ahead and take take care of that

for him.

I'll I'll do the head and.

Look, but also I don't, it's

kind of like you guys didn't

hear the whole show because

there were circumstances.

Why?

Why he was doing that show in a

car?

OK.

And what what were the

circumstances the.

Circumstances, what he was doing

in an event.

And as you know, when you do

things like when you do these

interviews in cigar shops and

events, it's the worst place to

do it right.

Oh.

Certainly the the.

The noise, the no, I mean, don't

get me wrong, that's something

where when we tell someone don't

do your interview in a cigar

store and then they do it in a

cigar store, that's where, OK,

that's what you need to do

better because we gave you

specific instructions to do

that.

Right, Correct.

OK.

Do you think that maybe turning

on a fucking Dome light in the

truck?

Whatever.

Yeah, at the least you could

have turned on the Dome light.

Well, you could, you could bring

the battery with that.

I mean I I turn.

The car Turn the car on 1st.

I, I, I'll say this, we always

want to have good audio and good

and good video, right?

Audio is always the thing that

we will get beat up on.

If our audio is off, we get beat

up on, people will be forgiving

on, on, on the lighting stuff.

Don't get me wrong.

I, I want people to have great

lighting and and look good, but

but the audio's a piece.

We get beat up much, but he

could kill his battery with his

own line on it.

I don't know if it was a rental

car he had or not either, so

keep that in mind, OK?

I feel like he could have done

better to be perfectly honest,

and he's not the first person

I've attacked.

By the way, it was a very good

interview by both sides.

And I understand, you know, hey,

you want to put someone in the

best light and everything, but

it was a very good interview.

In case he doesn't do a lot of

interviews and I go to the

excellent I go to one of bears

best interviews of the year

today.

It was a really good, good show.

Do you think that enough people

would have watched and stayed

tuned to it because they

couldn't see him as he was

hiding like a ninja?

Or do you think that maybe if he

had a little bit better

lighting, more people would have

listened?

So I'm curious to see what you

guys think on on viewing

patterns.

But this is what I see is when

the shows live, people watch

watch it and they don't really

blink an eye on it.

But once the show goes to on

demand and download, we find the

people go more to the audio on

that.

So I I don't think it made a

huge difference.

That was just my opinion on.

OK, I think he's got a point

there on the audio because this

is usually so many people listen

to in cars while they're

travelling out walking or

something.

It's not a sit.

Hey honey, let's sit down and

watch Coop show for the next 4

hours on YouTube on the big TV.

People don't do that right?

Right.

Right.

I mean, if I consume your show,

to be honest with you, it

usually, well, you guys are

always on demand, but I usually

go for the audio piece.

I put it on in the car or in my

office or something like that.

OK.

Well, I mean, you know, so.

But just for the record.

So you're OK with me criticizing

somebody about video or no?

Oh.

Oh, I think, I think, I think

look, I am OK with that.

And one thing I'll say very

clear is we're in the media

business, right?

And in the media business, media

is what we do, right.

So we have to, we have to kind

of cover the media business as

it is.

I just thought the the comment

about the industry needing to do

better, there's a ton of other

problems in there, but I had no

problem.

It's fair game.

It's totally fair game.

I don't think that part was the

part where you guys went below,

below, you know, it was a part

like industry doing better.

Well, you know, because listen,

we just did that one media

podcast and George was on there,

right?

And George has a lot of

interesting things to say.

And I feel like a lot of his

things got discredited because

of the way that he presented

himself.

He stopped.

He fucking got got a sandwich or

some shit.

And like we heard it the entire.

Time throat.

As other people were talking,

the camera switched to him and

then you couldn't hear somebody

else talk.

The guy was in a fucking lawn

chair.

I mean, like there were so many

things that I'm like, OK, if

this guy, you know, he's an

icon.

He's done all these great things

in this industry and he's just

kind of looking fucking.

I feel like I just got to throw

a change at the guy or

something, like he's a little

borderline homeless, you know,

Like, I just feel like, why not

invest a little bit of time and

energy in presenting yourself so

that, you know, you look.

Just you come off better.

Just together, like you have it

together, you know, and the I.

Don't know how to show George.

I didn't take it that bad.

I I don't think that was that

bad.

What he was on with.

I mean, I guess I, I don't know,

I maybe I, you know, being on

the show, I saw it a different.

Way it's a little different if.

You're on the show.

Yeah, I was watching it and I

stopped because I couldn't

handle his, his little noises

and stuff the whole time.

It was just driving me nuts.

Yeah.

And then like, you know, so I've

talked about this before in the

past.

Obviously you haven't heard it,

but I was also talking about

Ian, a Dapper, you know, same

scenario, guys kind of laying

down, almost borderline falling

asleep when he's doing an

interview.

And I'm like, OK, come on, man.

You know, and I'm not trying to

aggressively attack someone

because I, you know, I think all

these guys are great guys.

I'm just simply stating that,

look, if you put a little bit of

time and effort into this and

you present yourself properly, I

think that the brand

representation that you're

trying to give off will be

better, right?

You know these guys are.

I, I can, I, I agree with that.

I will agree 100% with you on

that.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah.

It's kind of the.

Same thing like when we get a

press release, right and we get

these pictures that are just,

you know, that that they're

crooked or they're off focus or

you know, they're selling errors

in in there.

So I get it.

I get what you're saying with

that.

Yeah, take a little bit of time

and and you know, I have no

problem calling any of these

people out, right?

Because because I know where my

heart is and I know where my

intentions are.

I'm not here to chastise

somebody because I just want to

feel better about myself.

I, I want them to do better so

that when somebody view clips,

let's just say someone randomly

is getting into cigars, right?

And they clip on, they click on

Bear's recent episode on

YouTube, right?

And they see, they don't know

anything about this guy, but

they see a guy in a truck and

you can hardly see his face and

he's kind of talking about his

brand.

Doesn't that make that brand

look bad?

It's not going to be something

they want to go find.

I don't.

OK, maybe I'm not that

interested in getting the scars.

This isn't the only industry has

that problem.

There's celebrities that do

terrible on location interviews.

Yeah, but some of the

celebrities.

They mail it.

Some of them do.

They go above and beyond.

Especially during COVID, there

was tons of people doing

interviews from home and they

were just having Earpods in,

right, using their iPhones,

right?

And these people have money.

I mean, they could easily set

up, you know, a ring light and a

camera.

Right, it's, it's $30.00 from

Amazon, right?

It can be there tomorrow, You

know what I mean?

You normally have notice.

Like, hey, I mean, I could tell

you right now that if I'm

traveling, even if I'm at an

event or whatever, I could

definitely step away, get to a

hotel room, set up a nice little

corner angle.

It doesn't take, it's not that

hard.

Like, hey man, you know, I'm, I

really apologize that I'm not

perfect, but hey, I'm, I'm

travelling currently, you know,

and at least you could see me.

Right.

Like that's my point.

Well, I'm going to be out to

you, you guys.

Actually, I I see your points on

this is you're right, you're not

wrong on it.

We should be beating up on KP.

You don't want it, but but I in

general, I absolutely feel you

telephone with that.

I'm going to beat up on

everybody.

Just want you to know I.

Know you are, yeah.

And because you know there will

be.

I keep wondering if I retire,

like, what are you guys going to

do?

You're going to lose half your

content on the show if I retire,

right?

Maybe we'll find, we'll find

somebody 15%, but there's got to

be somebody.

Else Fred Ruiz about to make a

magazine or something.

Jack and Justin, then it's no

one and Mickey.

Yeah, yeah.

But Fred, Fred's coming up.

Yeah, Fred's coming up.

He's doing a magazine or

something.

He's working with Cigar, he's

working with Thor's cigar press.

So we'll have we'll have some

new content there'll.

Be some good witty banter there.

Right, by the way, I I, I

thought I might have been stuck

a banana to Nikki was Nikki was

supposed to come on today.

He's on the.

Patreon.

He doesn't want to do the

regular show.

He.

Wants to patriot.

He wants to show.

Over the weekend, that's why.

So yeah.

Yeah, I did a nice little

comment like, well, you know,

maybe he'll call or something

because we tried contacting him

several times.

Several weeks in a row.

And he just went Zero Dark 30 on

us.

Yeah, again, for the record

guys, I I didn't turn you guys

down last week.

I was on vacation and I wasn't.

Oh, I know.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're in Italy.

And if you had watched the whole

episode, I actually stated that,

but.

And I didn't, and I didn't admit

you on that one.

But the clip, that clip back

there, of course, sure, of

course it's called.

Yes, thank you.

It's called.

Clip News.

Yes.

No.

No fake news.

No.

Yeah, you have to.

What we said was true, we just

didn't expand.

It's just like any other piece

of.

News.

Right, right.

You did not take our phone call.

End of comment.

Right.

But if you go in, if you watch.

Yeah, if you watch if.

You watch the entire episode, I

flat out said.

Well, you know he's.

Going around the Dondules, he.

Yeah, he's going.

To talk to a guy in the parish

last week.

So I mean phones ring.

Yeah, that.

I mean, that's a good point.

That's a good point.

I mean, his wife may have killed

him, right?

But yeah.

We have a problem, yeah.

Right.

So OK, well I'm glad that we

could work this out Coop.

I've been waiting for this.

Absolutely.

Look, you guys, I love you guys.

We love you too.

We love you too.

We'll clip this up and make you

look bad.

Don't worry.

Yeah.

I'm sure, I'm sure.

It'll be fantastic.

We'll have you cursing out.

We'll have you cursing out Casey

before we.

Hit his his.

Yeah, I got quaaludes, I got

acid and I got cocaine.

There you go.

I mean, we don't.

And, and, and by it looks like

Jack Piranio called me or, or

what Jack or heck, Hector, I

said, you know what I said?

I gave those guys a license to

use it.

Actually, I gave them the clip.

He reset it for us nice and

clean so.

I did.

I said yeah.

I said it's for those.

Guys, it was permitted, yeah.

It was crazy.

Yeah, you have permission to use

it.

Don't.

Don't make me revoke it now.

Oh, I'm sorry.

We haven't for two.

Two.

And yet you're breaking up.

You're breaking up.

We can't hear you.

Are you in?

Are you in Italy again?

We.

Can't hear you.

All right, brother.

Love you, man.

Thanks so much all.

Right, you have a good day.

You too.

OK, bye all.

Right.

Bye bye.

So there you go.

I don't know.

He sort of backed up on his.

Of course he did.

Of course he was ready for a

fight.

A little disappointed.

He's not going to go.

Come on man.

He's not going to come on.

Well, look, he's a very nice

man.

Look, the reality is that you

right he he fell into it.

He did keep saying, but you did

go a little hard on Casey.

I did well.

He's going to defend.

He was driving.

Was he driving to an event?

I'm apparently sitting in the

car at the event.

Oh, I but you could turn on the

Dome light.

And you turn on.

The you could do.

You could do better things.

Right.

Walk in, stand in front of the

headlights, something.

The, the reality is that this

industry is we're a fragment of,

of consumers in the, in the

world, especially in the US,

right?

It's like 2 or 3%, something

like that, right, right.

And I don't think that it it

gets the justification that it

deserves.

And what the?

Industry represents and what

it's all about.

Sure.

So, and it's demonized and I

think that as a whole, it's

important that everybody works

together to put in the extra

effort.

Right.

Just look good when you do it,

you know, I mean, granted, we

have a little advantage here

because we have all this studio

space and all this stuff.

We have equipment we take with

the state.

Of the art technology.

Sure, but still, I mean, you

know, iPhones do really good

pictures.

They need the light.

They do do great pictures.

I mean, I could put together

something on the fly right where

I look decent, where the sounds

good, sure I could whip it up.

Not a problem.

Not a problem, not a problem.

I bet you I could take that DGI

and fucking Bluetooth it to my

phone.

Sure you can.

Yeah.

Everybody should have a DJ Osmo

Pocket Three.

If you're in the industry, it's

400 bucks.

Let's go.

Everybody, if you're going to

talk on this.

I think some people should,

yeah.

Then I mean, there's usually the

same group of people do the

show.

Maybe now when when you ask

somebody to do your show, you

give them a little checklist or

you give them something like,

OK, here's what I need you to

do.

I need you to buy a $20 light.

Listen, I need you to get a $10

microphone, right?

You can use your iPhone if you

have to, but get a tripod or

something to hold it.

Don't just pull it out with your

hand.

Well, it's important that you

look good in in the eyes.

Try.

To keep the background noise

down.

Right.

Yeah, yeah.

Try and keep the dog barking to

a minimal.

Right, exactly.

Yeah, changing your food if

you're going to.

Eat.

Yeah, don't eat.

Don't eat during the Maybe you

should eat itchy wheat.

I mean, you know, unless you're

doing coop for four hours, you

can probably go without eating.

Yeah, you might need a snack.

You'll.

Try your best not to pee during

the coop thing like you got to

pee beforehand.

Yeah, always go to the bathroom

before the interview.

Greg got to step away.

Did.

Greg have to rookie right

fucking.

Rookie, right?

So there's all that.

Or I mean, the most of the shows

have a light Cam or we have to

go to a sponsor or something

where you could, you know,

quickly pee if you had to.

Right.

Just time it correctly.

Absolutely not like in the

middle of your interview.

Well, we have this new cigar

going up.

Oh hey, I got to pee.

I'll be right back.

You guys just talk amongst

yourselves.

Absolutely right.

All right, now what are we

doing?

Oh well, let's get into the

news.

Oh wait, Fills 1 fact.

We have a fills 1 fact.

OK, we're doing fills 1 fact.

Yeah, do that.

We'll do that.

Welcome the Cigar Hustlers

podcast feature Phil's fun fact.

Hello peoples.

In ancient Rome, it was common

for men to have relationships,

both women and men, but the

social status of the partners

playing a big role.

The Romans believed that a man

should always take the dominant

role in sexual relationship,

regardless of whether his

partner was male or female.

One unusual practice was that of

the spintria, small coins or

tokens that depicted various

sexual acts, including same sex

interactions.

These tokens were sometimes used

in brothels or as kind of a

entrance fee to certain

gatherings, showcasing the open

yet complex views on sexuality

in that society.

Is that it?

That that's it.

Oh, interesting, interesting.

Interesting fact.

Do you have those coins?

Yeah.

I don't have a coin.

Would you consider yourself a

power bottom?

No, no.

Are you shaking his head?

No, he's not a power bottom.

He's a top.

He's.

I don't think it's a top.

You don't think it's just not?

What's the other option?

Maybe you should ask just after

bottom.

Should ask Justin.

Maybe.

Weak body.

Yeah.

Well, ask Justin.

Ask Justin.

Yeah.

His title was director of global

business development, and May

That's not a great idea, man.

May won't be responsible for

distribution, that will be left

up to his local distributors,

but he will be able to assist

with everything in between the

factory and those distributors.

This includes assistance with

sales and marketing, shipping,

quality edge rappers are filled

or fillers sets them apart.

Very nice.

May told the guy after podcast

So good, in fact, that his wife,

There you go.

Oh.

Really.

Not at all.

She does.

Wow, she might.

I have no idea.

She could clean the house.

She might, I don't know.

She probably.

Worked with Rocky Patel.

Well, yeah, that's what that

says she works there.

Yeah, he left she was allowed to

stay SCG review grows during Q2

2024 review grows revenue.

Sorry.

OK.

It would block the microphone

two different they're reviewing

the revenue.

Oh, they're.

Reviewing the revenue they're.

Reviewing the revenue, yes.

Then they come out with their

their revenue like a little

while.

Ago, that was Q1, this is Q2.

Pay attention.

So here's the wait, wait, more

things happen.

OK, I haven't read this article.

OK.

I haven't either.

I don't pay for eight days.

Here's.

What I think they're gonna say,

they're gonna say though our

overall number of cigar sales

have been down, the prices of

things have been up and that

means that we have an increase

in revenue.

Close After starting the year

with a percent drop in year over

year revenue for Q1,

Scandinavian Tobacco Group has

reported a positive Q2.

Most notably St.

GS Q2 review was $350 million,

which SCG described as a six

point 3% increase compared to Q2

of last year.

It was only 4.8 last year.

OK.

The company said that the growth

was driven by handmade cigars,

handmade handmade Nicaragua

handmade cigars and next

generation products which

include items like tobacco free

nicotine pouches.

Mm hmm guys buy that one

company.

Last quarter, SCG indicated that

a decline in machine made cigars

and smoking tobacco hurt his

performance.

The company says that those

categories are improving.

It also disclosed that volume

remains down, though it says it

is improving.

Boom, so there's that.

The evidence before special

items was 86.39 million.

The at above margin was 24.5, up

from 23.1.

Adjusted earnings per share were

61 cents.

Sounds that's down.

You're going to sell at some

point.

Return on investing capital, the

ROIC was 10.5%, down from 13.1.

On July 1st, SCG announced that

it had agreed to acquire

Mcbarron, a pipe tobacco

company, for roughly $77

million.

We talked about that, yes, but

apparently.

Just waiting.

I'm just waiting for my offer.

That deal closed a couple of

weeks ago.

But Cigar has a podcast retail

store.

All of it 77,000,000 is perfect.

I'll take 77.

I'll take 70 easy, Yes.

STG, which is publicly traded on

the NASDAQ Copenhagen, has a

large Freeman cigar portfolio

that includes retailers such as

Cigars International, cigar.com,

cigarbid.com, Thompson Cigar,

pipesandcigars.com and Cigar

Segura CIGORA.

It also owns General Cigar Ford

Cigar, which sells Cohiba, La

Gloria, Cubana, Partigus and

other brands in the US.

In both the US and international

markets, it sells Aggio Ali

Bradley, CEO, Machinudo Room One

O One in Terano still sells.

It doesn't sell Toronto anymore.

SCG also has a strong machine

made cigar business, especially

in Europe, as well as units that

include Pipe Tobacco, Roll your

own and tobacco free nicotine.

They said just throw Terano on

there.

Can you tell what the edible was

again?

The EBITDA, the EBITDA, the

EBITDA 80. 3.9. 6.3 Oh wait, the

EBITDA before special items was

86.39 million.

So that's just cigars.

No, that's all this stuff.

You said before special items.

Before yes.

'Cause I'm just trying to figure

out how they have 350 million

in, they're paying people 77

million and they're Ediba.

Is EDIBA?

No.

There's no B, there's whatever.

Yeah, that thing is low.

I'm just, I'm just thinking in

my head here.

Oh, he's just thinking.

He's just thinking.

It seems to be working.

The math seems to be mathen.

Is the.

I don't know.

What is the multiplier for

cigars?

7.

I I believe Palmer 7.

Seven.

That's pretty high, yeah.

Are we moving on?

I think so.

Are you any other questions?

No, I was just, I've just been

hearing this in the news lately.

So it just sounds like they're

going to sell.

He's been hearing a lot of

they're going to sell, they're

going to sell STG.

Maybe I don't know or something

of it.

Who's going to buy them?

China.

Right.

Who's bigger than them?

China.

China.

That's the only one.

That's it.

The country.

The country, not Chinese tobacco

company Saudi Arabia.

So there's no tobacco company

bigger than them?

No.

Do you hear all they own?

You're not paying attention.

Cigars International, cigar.com,

cigarbid.com, Thompson Cigar,

Pipes and Cigars, Cigarra,

General Cigar Ford Cigar which

sells Cohiba, La Gloria, Cubada,

Alec Bradley, Cao, Mega Noodle,

Room 11, Terano.

Meanwhile he could only send you

one fucking lighter and a

cutter.

5 chick-fil-A's, and apparently

one Arby's somewhere in

Minnesota.

We have the beats.

Right, including pipe tobacco

roll.

Your OH does not include pipe

tobacco.

Roll your own tobacco and

nicotine free pouches.

Can I get?

Some type of Cao at that.

Arby's is what I want to know.

No, no, they're all separately

And a room one O 1 giant

tobacco.

Room one O 1 you can yes.

Oh, not Cao.

say anything about how they

owned room one O 1.
