Apparently I worry about you

sometimes, Michael.

Still doing my red light,

Michael.

Excellent.

Oh.

Oh, yesterday.

I did it when I did it

yesterday, yeah.

So I I sort of, I laid down,

then I sort of adjust it so it's

hitting me in the back, you get

the full Dome.

Get the full dog, get the full.

But apparently I had moved it

off the end table slightly and

it was tilted so it was closer,

which I thought was good till

halfway through the whole thing

fell down, hit me in the head,

Oh.

I was like, ow I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Does it stand on the ground or

is?

It no, it's a table.

It's on a table.

OK.

Yeah.

Well, that's good to know.

But those arm things are very

adjustable.

So I mean you can tilt them like

this right off the thing.

So I have the one cuz you said I

got at the top, so I have the

one that's straight down in the

back and then the other three

are we gotta take care of the

Dome.

Right in the front and then the

two on the side.

Excellent.

Still listening to motivational

things.

What was that guy's name you

told me to do?

I listened to a nice one

yesterday from Rocky Balboa, but

not him.

Still on motivational things,

yeah.

Who did I tell you to listen to?

Yeah, I'm looking for new ones,

about 10 minutes.

You were talking about the guy

that you listen to all the time.

Yeah, who I listen to.

I don't know, that's why I'm

asking.

The first name was Frank Frank.

Could be wrong.

Frank from Seinfeld, The father,

George Costanza's father Frank.

That would be great motivation.

Whoo, Shah man's ear.

I like Eric Thomas.

That guy's.

Oh, Eric Thomas, is that with an

E or an A or the E?

That guy's amazing.

Does he do a 10 minute one or is

he one of those 35 minute guys?

I mean he, I'm sure that he has

little Clippy's.

Oh, I like the Andy Elliott guy.

I think he's good.

Andy Elliott Yeah, he's pretty

cool.

Like Elliott?

Like he's more sales.

Than oh, I don't want yeah, I

just want general life stuff.

OK, my I enjoy Eric Thomas.

Tell you about your football.

How did you know?

Because we did this yesterday,

well before we got into, before

we get into the football, we

went to Halloween Horror Nights.

Oh, it's right.

Myself and.

And boots and boots.

Or was it filling his wife?

It was.

It was Boots.

Oh yeah, as boots.

And we didn't get our express

passes when we got there.

The express passes were sold

out.

And so we had to get the 11:00

express passes.

Yeah, So we had to huff it the

whole time.

And then, you know, we went to a

bunch of houses.

Are you done?

You already scribbling?

What are you?

I'm setting up the score sheet

for the other thing and so we

had to go around the place

twice, right?

We almost.

So what?

You almost broke who I almost

broke, my friend.

Oh yeah.

He looked OK and we saw her

upstairs.

T was fine.

Oh, there's the other guy.

Oh, that husband hurts.

Yeah, I got you.

Yeah, right.

The guy with the STD, you got

shot in his PB.

Yeah, yeah, he was.

He was poor guy.

I felt bad.

What time did you, what time,

what time do they open?

I think they open like 6.

Really that fast is in there

because there's like a

changeovers.

What do they close at 5:00, open

at six, something like that?

Because I'm sure there's things

they got to get out and stuff.

Well, they have most of the

stuff out, yeah.

But they have to like do the

change of characters, right?

Stuff like that, but most of the

props are already pretty much

set.

Yeah, So even the scare zone.

Are the scare zones decorated?

Yeah, they are.

Just like between these two

trees, somebody's going to chase

you.

No, they're they're decorated.

It just seemed like this year

things were a little less.

See, that's what the cheddit

said.

Yeah, you felt that way too.

I mean, there's like vampire

hipsters or some shit.

I'm like.

Vampire hipsters, Yeah.

Like hippie vampires.

It's weird.

That's that's really low end,

yeah.

Yeah.

I don't think I was as scared

this year, this year as it was

the year prior.

Yeah.

Yeah, Chad said.

It was a lot less that year, I

will tell you that.

My favorites.

Can we go to two since we're

discussing my favorite house?

Thank you.

My favorite house was the Dark

Deal.

Is that the name of it?

Dark deal, Dark deal, Yeah.

And why was that your favorite

house?

Because, because the angles,

Michael.

Oh, they had the place.

We didn't expect it to be open.

Yeah, I see.

I mean, you can at least act

surprised on our conversation.

I am acting.

You're not doing a good job.

That was the best one, yeah.

I felt like The Exorcist was the

best one.

The Exorcist was pretty good.

Oh, somebody spit pea soup at

you?

That thing?

Yes.

Did they really?

No.

Because that's, I mean, Brittany

got highly.

Irate an hour, yeah.

Where where in the evening was

the exorcism, 1 Exorcist was

much later on in the evening.

Yeah, that was lately.

Yeah, So she had a chance to get

a couple of drinks in her and

loosen up a little bit.

Yeah.

So.

Well, at least she's before

then.

Yeah.

What she does is she buries her

head in my back.

Oh, that's.

Cute walk through it so you know

you go through one or two, maybe

three houses and then as you

know, the booze starts flowing.

She gets a little looser.

She starts picking kind of a.

Little braver and start rolling.

So we were in Exorcist, and she

was She was already rolling.

Ah, got you.

But there are two things that

she does that I love, Mike.

Oh, what are they?

Yeah.

You're not going to believe

this.

Oh, it's really weird.

Yeah, #1 yes is.

She screams extremely loud.

OK, And she starts to back out.

She starts going back.

She screams.

He goes backward.

Yeah.

And I say, you got to go

forward, you got to.

Go forward the lines back and

you can't touch her.

She gets mad.

You know, I'm like, come on,

come on, come on.

She gets super.

Like a little reassuring hug.

Or nothing.

None of that.

Have you seen those videos where

they they walk in and the guy

just ditches the girl?

No, I haven't.

Those are funny.

Oh yeah, I saw.

I was the one where they walk

in, the scare person screams and

it comes out and the guy yells

and leaves and shuts the door,

leaves his girl in there with

the scream person.

Sort of look at each other and

then she hands the girl the

plastic knife, and then they

chased him down the hall.

Together.

Stop it.

It's funny, the other thing that

Britney does that I fucking

love.

See, This is why I can't run

away.

I can't run like that because I

I need to see the I mean.

You gotta experience, right?

Right.

I need the experience.

Half the fun for you?

Oh my God, yeah.

Yeah.

Is that what this is all about?

You just love seeing her gets

good.

You want us to come over and

stare in the windows or once a

week or something.

It's all about the fun that you

know, I like this.

You're.

Not worried about.

I'm worried about the dog boot

that boots was in the back so he

you know he did his best to not

sure is right.

So Brittany does this.

I have a migrate.

It only happened once.

It was but it usually happens

more than once.

But she did this run in place.

Ah.

How she screams and start drink

like she can't.

Like a cartoon.

Yeah, she can't move.

I love that.

It's fantastic.

What do you think of Chucky?

So I told you my fear of Chucky.

Yeah, you're afraid of Chucky.

That's like my most fearful

thing from my childhood.

I'm but it's Chucky Halloween

Party.

I thought it was kind of My

parents are the most fearful

thing for my child.

I didn't think it was.

They weren't there.

I did.

I was kidding.

Well, am I?

Am I?

Well, let's unpack that.

A little a.

Little too close to home I.

Don't think it was, like, as

scary as I thought it was gonna

be.

Yeah, I thought Chucky was lame.

Was a little corny when we got

out.

Thought there were no midgets

dresses, Chucky?

No, there was that term.

Small people, little people,

whatever the hell it is, yeah.

I don't know.

I think if they would have had

somebody like that, it would

have been scary, been a lot

scary.

Yeah, Chet said.

There was a lot of animatronics

in the Chucky well.

So at that at that point we had

gotten to use our Express.

I think that was one of the

first houses that we got to do

the Express and the wait was

about 70 or 80 minutes.

Oh yeah, So we did the Express.

We were right on and we got off.

I said.

I looked back and I looked,

talked to everybody.

I said I would have been fucking

pissed if I had to wait 80

minutes to do that house.

Yeah, for sure.

Was it short or just not good?

It just wasn't good it.

Wasn't good.

They're all about the same

amount of time.

Yeah, to walk through them, but

that one was.

You know they can't all be

winners.

Well, you would expect something

like that theatrical, you know,

that type of.

Right.

Better special effects.

It just had a feeling like.

It was a guy with a puppet going

there were they did have those.

It had a feeling that it wasn't

that this year just wasn't what

it normally is.

I didn't see as much hype on TV

and stuff for it.

Yeah, I don't even know what the

theme is.

Normally you see all those

commercials that there's a

certain theme or one big.

One, yeah, I don't think there's

really, there's not a person

that's in charge of the the

scare person or whatever.

Like last year, it was that

movie.

I can't remember what it was.

Well, I think last Ranger

things.

It was Jack or somebody like

that was like the scare back.

Oh, I see.

A scare person.

Yeah, they used to have a main

character.

Jack pops up once in a while.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Everybody's pushing hard for

Christmas.

They're all concerned about

Christmas being a fucking bust.

Oh, I think that was.

I mean, Lowe's is already

covered at Home Depot.

They all they all have their

Christmas shit.

Well there's no after Halloween.

There's no real oh because we're

not even we're not even

Halloween yet.

That's what I'm saying.

This I saw this October 2nd I

We're covered in Christmas.

My Oh my God.

My local Home Depot just has the

Halloween stuff out.

Still, it lets it switch.

I haven't been here in a couple

of weeks.

If you're there, it's all gone.

Well, maybe they sold through.

When they sell through, they got

to put something out.

Yeah, maybe they just have a bad

Halloween, so they try to.

Cover it with more Christmas

light for Halloween?

Maybe.

So we did that.

Yeah.

And what else we do?

Do we use anything else?

Boots, Phil.

One Phil. 2:00 in the morning?

I mean, yeah, we were there till

Yeah, that's when it closes.

So yeah, to push me back in a

wheelchair.

I wasn't gonna bring that up,

but yeah.

Did you really have to bring in

a wheelchair?

I did.

Wow.

Yeah, yeah, he was fucked up.

I guess he was struggling.

Was a hard night, but it was

close, you know, I felt.

Did he drink too much?

I don't know.

No, he wasn't drinking too much.

Do you guys carpool or meet

that?

We did carpool.

I felt your house, but at the

like the last three houses.

Britney, look at me.

I don't see these.

Like this is not happening.

Yeah, I'm like, fuck.

And at first I was upset and

then I got over it and I'm like,

OK, hey, listen, So but then I

started telling him, look, if we

got to call it, then we'll just

call it right, you know?

But they they toughed it out.

Yeah, they toughed it.

No, we're going to make.

It wheelchair because he was

just so tired or was he starting

to get sick?

No, he's just he wasn't feeling

well because of his hips.

Oh yeah.

So I would think between that,

between I was totally

annihilating him at Halloween

hard nights, right?

And then him going and partying

it up.

Three day gay weekend in Miami?

Yeah, three day gay We weren't

invited to?

No, we weren't.

We never.

You know what?

No, I'll take that back because

once he got down there, he did

text me and asked me if I wanted

to come.

Oh, he did, but it was 4 hours

away.

I'm going to drive down by

myself.

Hey, do you want to come?

Yeah.

Hey, you.

Should come down.

I'm like, no, it's Miami, silly.

You have an extra ticket.

Oh, he would have left me in the

game.

Take it.

He knew I wouldn't come.

There's one of those fake

invites.

I would have found somebody to

get you another ticket.

And it's about myself.

Actually, they had a guy not

come.

You know, I bet Groover would

have had a ticket, a concept you

probably just have.

A groover?

Is that what Groover?

So I think that between us, you

know, Halloween Horror Nights in

the middle of the week, plus the

whole gallivanting partying is

what made Boots sick.

To get the STD to have the STD

and that's why we're actually

late to release this.

People were asking on Facebook

where it was.

Yeah, there's some.

I blamed you.

I believe that.

That's fine.

I don't care.

All right.

There's some hostile.

I had it all.

I didn't ready to go.

And then we had football.

Oh yeah, football.

Yeah, I had football Friday.

Went out Saturday night.

You did?

Yes.

We went to Sanford with bar

hopping.

Oh, nice.

See my wife and Megan.

We talked about that.

Went down.

Saw Casey.

You're gonna blow all this now?

Why I?

Thought he.

I thought he just said that he

had to know things.

He.

Cancelled Sunday, oh Saturday

night.

He was at Celery City Craft.

Oh, so.

And then Jimmy had somebody too.

But Jimmy's guy was like, OK,

well, we can't get Casey, so

we'll just get this guy.

Yeah, Jimmy says.

You can't sign him for like 3-4

months or something like.

That, yeah.

Do we have him sign up for

another event upstairs?

You know, I completely forgot he

was doing that event.

I think he's doing.

Is he doing Espinoza?

Espinoza.

I have no idea.

I think he's doing Espinoza.

That's cool.

Because I was, I was beat Friday

after working upstairs and then

doing Dana Show and I just

didn't make it back.

So football.

So football, football Friday,

our football Sunday.

I know we had football on

Friday.

Oh yeah, you had.

Oh no, you didn't come in for

Jackson.

Team played fantastic.

What'd you do all day Friday?

Cuz you didn't come in?

I don't know.

I went to the gym and then what

happens now with football,

right, is that I have sometimes

there are games at 4:30, right?

And then there's a game at

fucking 9:00.

So I kind of got off to a late

start.

I figured that I'd make some

calls and stuff and handle

things at home, right, Instead

of burning an hour, 30 minutes

here, 30 minutes back, because I

only had like a three hour

window.

So it gave me more opportunity

to work.

Gotcha.

And then I went in and did the

football stuff.

Justices team is regressing,

man.

They're not pulling flags.

So we lost to a team that I

don't think is better than us,

which is kind of kind of sucks.

Made the kid just had an off

night.

No, you just see a run.

This is the second night, so you

see a run and you know they're

just all over the place.

So we're going to start focusing

on that today and really try and

get it developed and get them

back on.

Oh practices, Yeah well this is

the non mandatory day and then

Wednesday will be the actual

practice.

And then?

So how many kids show up for non

mandatory practice?

About half.

Not bad.

You know, it's funny.

Those kids are all progressing.

Those kids are catching the

ball.

Better practice.

Yeah, they're, you know, they're

all doing things better.

Quarterback come to the extra

practice?

Yeah, he should.

He needs to work both of them.

And he's listening skills.

He does need listening skills

because we were getting our ass

kicked and you know.

What you should do with him

today?

Sorry, I mean to rub, but I have

a great idea, I think.

I feel like you do mean that

der.

Up.

Well, no, she just worked on

listening.

So tell him he can do whatever

he wants as long as when you

tell him to do something, he

does exactly what you said right

then. 3112 yell run left and

then run right.

Yeah, sit down.

So we were getting our ass

kicked in.

Put your arms up.

We were getting our ass kicked

in the game.

But like Simon Says, sorry, go

ahead and get your ass kicked in

the game.

So we were getting our ass

kicked in the game and the refs

asked me if we want to do one

more drive and I said, hey,

absolutely that way and get

more.

Sure people.

Yeah, everybody get a chance.

Jesus Christ.

I'm.

I'm not interrupting.

I'm adding you are.

No, you are.

You're very touchy today.

You're bringing it out of me.

You're.

Very touchy.

Go ahead.

Are you done?

And then I gotta shut down.

She's.

Gonna light my cigar.

I'm letting you tell your story.

And I said I'm trying to add to

the show but apparently don't

want me to, so I'll just light

my cigar.

So anyways, we we got a

complimentary kind of drive and

I tell them to throw the ball at

the center.

Yes.

I didn't know if I was allowed.

I was just waiting.

I I tell him throw the ball at

the center and he disregards

that and he decides to throw to

my son and gets an interception.

Game over and I'm like, dude.

Maybe that you'd like it if you

threw your son.

No, my kids wouldn't.

The number one target.

We have two different offenses

and justice can catch.

Because he's been playing

football with Jax for so long,

right?

So he's a primary, right?

And.

So you have the Jax offense.

And then another one.

No I have Jax isn't on play with

I have actually go but it goes

by the quarterback.

I call it by the quarterback

offense and quarterback offense.

Oh their names.

So so we threw to him threw a

pic.

Game over.

I'm like man I wanted I'm trying

to get the ball to other people

man.

So that didn't that didn't go

well.

Did he catch it?

No.

He threw an intercepted through

an.

Intercepted.

No, you're not.

No, You said a pick.

I didn't know.

You'll never be a quarterback,

Palmer.

No, I'll never be a quarterback.

I can't even throw You threw an

interception.

Ohh, that's what a pick is.

Yeah.

Ohh.

OK.

I wasn't familiar with the term

and I was wasn't allowed to ask

questions, so.

We've been talking about

football for probably about 100

episodes.

Like, I can detach this thing

and yeah, beat you to death

with.

Probably, but then it's on

camera and you'll go to prison.

No, I feel like it's going to be

justified.

But yeah, there's no yeah, he

was fucking.

He was kind of taking him on.

That's not the way it works.

Yeah, that works.

It's.

Not clearly, Officer you.

Can see he aggravated him

completely.

Officer, you can clearly see an

unstable man.

Judge if you watch the video,

provoke him.

Provoke him by talking during a

podcast where they both speak.

As he was speaking, he was

cutting him off.

I was adding to the story.

I don't know if Phil's laughing

or dying over there.

I can't tell because he's got

the mash back on though.

Well, because we're at 19

minutes.

Oh, he's ready to go.

We're just jumping to it like

that.

That's just the way it's going

to go.

I mean, I was.

Your story over was that it?

I mean, I think that that is

over for me.

I don't know.

I don't really have anything

else to add about this.

Did you guys will lose?

Jax's team lost.

I mean Justices team lost.

Jax's team got a interception,

they did well, they kicked ass.

And then Jax had a one handed

interception which was sick.

Nice.

Yeah.

Wow.

Really.

Yeah, your wife to put up the

video.

Normally she has a.

We didn't have it on recording

and of course we didn't have it

right and they want.

Normally she's good.

They want it now and now I have

to coach their team this week

like me, run their offense.

And we we did a practice, is

that different from any other

week?

As far as Jax's team, yeah,

yeah, Yes.

Michael, you raised your.

Hand Is this where you

transitioned into being the sole

coach for football?

This is it.

No, this is it.

This is how they get him.

This is it.

You know what?

We're all sick this week, Mike.

Can you fill in?

Sure.

Not a problem.

They never show up.

Oh, thank God Christmas is

coming up.

We really need some of the

stuff.

No, the coach that runs the team

is.

He's a really good guy.

He has.

Everybody's got their limit.

He's just beat down by the

children, he said.

The window.

Listen, kids, listen.

That's a different team.

Oh, sorry.

Maybe these kids don't listen.

Neither they do.

Listen, they're good kids.

What's the next sport coming

around?

Yeah, I have to cut the back

more often because the dog's

allergic to grass now, so when

it gets long.

Whiskey my my younger boxer.

When the seed pods pop up, you

know, and they can rub him, he

gets his sores under his arms.

He gets him across his chest

wherever the grass hits him.

He's got a late turf.

Nah, I just cut it twice a week.

So now I'm hiring Steve to cut

the big park once a week.

In that way, it's a matter of

keep all the dirt there that was

there before.

All the grass has grown back.

We got those damn sprinklers

fixed.

The grass is real thick and

luscious now everywhere I.

Mean that was killing whiskey.

Right.

That's killing whiskey.

For bullets getting shots for

the machine being down.

For shots fired.

Yeah, they did.

For the milkshake machine.

They have a little gate and

people kept coming from the

other.

West End.

You have to fucking suck the

shit out of it.

You know about this fun fact

already?

Well, you're an alien.

It's unbelievable.

You're an alien.

Rate it.

In 1979, during the Skylab 4

mission, astronauts smuggled

cigars into space and smoked

them.

And the space station?

Nah, I wonder if they hid them

them in their prison wallets,

Phil said.

That would have done and left

his plug at home.

You know, he has to read it

exactly the way he's written.

He can add, he can add into it

or just get the general idea or

nothing.

He just reads it exactly.

So I'm going to start writing it

worse verbatim, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I read it exactly

how you wrote.

It that's what I mean.

Can't you add, Liv?

I mean, I throw in names of

other people in the stories I

read, yeah, What do you want me

to say?

Palmer said.

I don't understand.

It was written for another

person, obviously, because you

weren't here yesterday.

Yes, and then he didn't adjust

it.

And then I didn't adjust it

because he's irresponsible.

What do you want me to do?

I'm just a talent.

You're supposed to be the

writer.

I like that we're falling apart

here.

Go to go to camera too, because

we got we have something to

cover here.

Yes, let's, let's.

Get We have something to cover

here.

That's that is very, very

important.

Now, without going into detail,

Phil.

We covered a major story on our

Patreon, a major story about the

character and individual of

boots.

Our friend Boots.

Our dear friend Boots and and we

asked on the Patreon to get some

comments to get the opinions of

our patrons of the Patreon and

and they they responded of

course they.

They responded and.

We're going to tell you some of

the things were said, but we

don't want if listen, if you're

not a Patreon member, you don't

get to know what we were talking

about.

Right.

You're going to have to buy into

the show to figure out what.

We have to figure it out, but

I'm going to tell you, don't

tell them I'm.

Going to tell you some of these

Got to do better.

Are these all for Mikey and

Palmer?

No, no, no.

These are legit.

Sorry bro, that's dirtbag shit.

Don't mess up your seat at the

table.

And then finally he should have

to give those cigars out as a

penalty.

See now I didn't read exactly

the said because he had typos it

and so if if I read it the way

he wrote it, it would be he

should have tie give those

cigars out as a pimp.

Yeah, I understood what he said.

So I, you know, fixed it figured

out.

You're seeing.

I'm a profession.

I have.

You're completely right, man.

Hard to trust someone right in

front of you when they can't do

the right thing behind your

back.

Integrity is everything.

Powerful.

Let's see what else we got here.

I know there's more.

Oh yeah.

Sorry.

You know.

What this one says this

listener, said Michael Joseph.

Fucking dare burn you with.

This one is Robbie is the one

who should have stepped up and

corrected the situation.

But Phil should be aware.

You could tell.

You could tell who you are if

you look at who your friends

are.

Yeah, it's true.

That's true.

True.

My favorite one.

This is my favorite one I'm.

Gonna say there's one that you

much for the patrons of the

Patreon to reaching out for

myself and Mr. Palmer.

It's good to hear that we have

good people on the Patreon and

that you guys all sided with me

and and I really, truly

appreciate that.

I hope, I hope that Boots will

take this as a valuable lesson

and that he will move forward

from it and he will learn from.

His mistakes, yes.

And never do something like

that.

Be a better person?

Yeah.

And if you want to know what

we're talking about, just go

ahead and sign up to the

Patreon, right?

That's all you got to do.

It's that easy.

That's it, $15.00 a month.

Phil, do you have anything to

say on Boots' behalf?

Exactly, that's what happens.

The Americans what?

Yeah, I mean, look, I don't know

what else to say.

Yeah, the American cigar just

wasn't a fan of it.

I didn't think it was good at

all.

But isn't that's the one that

What is it?

Yeah, that's from United.

No, it's from JC Newman.

$25 per cigar.

Election Day in.

America, I wonder what the staff

meeting was like that on that

cigar.

What do you think?

You know the small ones aren't

working.

Some guy goes, let's add more

tobacco.

Let's make it.

Bigger, always better.

Allamerican cigar blade.

Wise USA.

Florida Sun ground rapper from

that place that you know, I have

all that five acres of tobacco.

By a box you get a.

What also grows he have vanity

tobacco used for the filler.

There's also puts Pennsylvania

tobacco in the filler.

Five boxes, you get a.

But an American horse?

Not a number of those Americans.

No, no, no.

Well, the Allamerican Land is a

novel.

It's not really what makes the

American unique.

Every other part of the

production is also made in

America, something no other

cigar can claim.

Ha.

Oh, that includes the bands

maybe action labeled in Sanford

Great, which we like the people.

That we do like.

So the bands might be the best

part of the whole.

It could be could be the best

part.

The boxes are made by Millennium

Wood Box in Miami.

Even the cigar molds and box

hinges are produced in America.

Predictably, this what?

About the people, the people

that make the cigars, Are they

all American?

Oh, let's find out.

The cigars are made in America.

So yes.

after?

I don't know.

Find somebody who's big.

Find something with the big last

name.

Quaaludes passed around at the

the meeting.

Yeah.

Over JC Newman they they went I.

Don't know?

You don't think so?

They don't seem like Quaalude

We'd do that too.

Cash the check and then they can

pull out.

We're done.

We're done here.

Sounds like the.

I know I don't have enough room.

He's cares, Keys crew sounds

like a red light district job.

The United Kingdom could become

the next country to ban tobacco

sales to future generations.

Yeah, Prime Minister.

Minister, it's not gonna happen.

Rishi Sunak has unveiled a

planned that's not like an

English name.

Rishi soon.

I am Rishi Shunak.

That wasn't a British.

He's got a pipe.

Smoke for the.

Pipe unveil The plan to ban

kill.

Me.

So let's say you guys.

Can't smokes, Yeah.

So anybody born in 2008 or

later?

There'll be no tobacco for any.

After oh, so anyone born in 2009

or for the lawn a year?

Technically this would raise the

minimum age.

Purchase tobacco by one year

beginning in 2027.

Currently the requirement is

that you must be 18 years old.

The United Kingdom has been

studying a generational tobacco

ban for more than a year.

We have been stuck in.

I've been taking a look at.

Following the lead set by New

Zealand, I hate New Zealand.

What do they do?

They just have green.

Stuff.

They're very green.

They have very green.

Yeah, like that's the place

where we go to fucking film

Braveheart and fucking Lord of

the Rings.

Because it's so beautiful there,

because there's no smell.

At all, right there, because

there nobody wants to live.

During COVID, they locked the

country.

You couldn't get in or out.

Yeah, it's just terribly that

lives there.

Yeah, it's a lot of people live

there.

I don't believe you.

Who?

On the field names the one guy

from Jones.

Mr. Smith, yes.

Robert.

Shoemaker Robert Schumann.

If I can, Let's see what's that

guy's name?

John Cannon, The Prime Minister?

Rishi Sunak at Summer House?

Yeah.

Is a summer house the guy from

Gladiator?

Yeah, the guy from Gladiator.

Russell Crowe.

Right. the US bills were

introduced in California, Hawaii

and Nevada, three of my least

favorite states.

They called the various forms

generous from tobacco bans,

though none gained traction.

People Soon Act, the leader of

the conservative party, said

that this will be a free vote.

How?

Meaning that members of

parliament be, but wait, that a

free vote then?

Let's deprive the.

Guys with the Whigs are voting.

Oh, the the white, the white

wig.

The parliament's They still have

Whigs.

I mean, you do.

I do.

Do you do see the irony in the

fact that there is a cigarette

named after them for the love of

God, for the Parliament?

Yeah.

Used to be a gay place in

Orlando called the Parliament

House.

That's probably why they're up

in arms about it.

Probably some.

New Multibacco Because we have

the cigarette named after us

right now, I'm going to go and

smoke me cigar.

I'm ready to move on.

Are you?

Yes, I'm not.

Oh, please continue.

No, let's go.

One fills one pass.

Paladino Sumatra heads the

story.

That was it for the story.

Oh yeah, that was the end.

That's right.

End.

Yesterday, JRE Tobacco began

shipping its newest blend, the

Aladino Sumatra.

I'm gonna light up on this one.

So you know the blends roots go

back seven years.

In 2016, Julio and Husto Arora

begin planting Sumatra seed

tobacco at the Arola family

sprawling farm outside of

Donnelly Hunters.

OK, wait.

I'll be Hulu.

Who?

I'll be Julio.

You be Husta.

OK, what should we do today?

Let's grow some Sumatra tobacco.

Oh, great idea.

Let's go put the seeds in the

dirt.

The tobacco is used as a rapper

covering to blend the company

describes as lighter than usual.

Oh sorry, tobacco varieties of

undisclosed over the Galatino.

Sumatra is debuting in a single,

6 by 52 Toro size of a hollow

cigar.

No.

Oh, I'm sick.

It was.

Very nice.

I like.

I love who's though.

I didn't know he had a brother

named Julio.

Me neither.

They obviously keep him locked

up.

Julio, Husto, Julio and Husto.

I hear he has a daughter name

and Genevieve.

Really.

I did.

Wasn't even funny.

I know.

Yeah, it starts with a G Yeah, I

guess I tried to choose a

swinging a man.

Sometimes it happens.

All right.

It's a lot of pressure here.

Hey you Miss 100I?

Can't Michael?

You miss 100% of shots you don't

take, so good for you.

Speaking of those boxes, fans of

JRE tobacco, you might notice

they look a bit different.

Triangles.

Everybody loves triangles.

The company says that the

family's 4th generation has more

involves role led to the more

modern box design.

So the other three generations

right?

Ah, fuck Boxes, we're.

Gonna just keep it the same, it

keep it the same part of the

change is actually an emission,

so that's better to do less.

Is it gonna be shipping crates?

This is the first Eledino cigar

that does not feature the

Eledino painting on the inside

of the box.

Who Stow you Stow on Hulu?

How can we save money?

Let's remove the paintings that

guy paints.

Every.

Single.

Yes.

No, no.

He must go.

Feed the growth, feed the youth

feel.

I'm feeding it.

I'm feeding it excellent.

And triangles, Jerry.

You know, if they got together,

those people from last week to

cut the instead of the big hole,

they put all the little holes,

the little holes, the little

hole guys.

That would be very industry

revolutionary.

Industry revolutionary No

pictures on the inside.

Little tiny holes.

Yeah.

You know what?

I I think the next step would be

for like a box.

Yeah, that is.

A little battery on the side of

it, right?

Oh, they had that that the

window light.

And no, no, And then I would

just incorporate a blow dryer.

Just something that just hits it

with dry heat.

Doesn't that dry down?

Yeah, it would be the next

generation, though.

You guys smoked fat.

It would be.

So revolution, we go through the

cigars fashion because they're

drying out because.

Brittle.

And then we put the little holes

up top, So that's blows right

out.

Yeah, if there was only a Oasis

pack, you could put in it.

I I wish that many letter I

wish.

I wish there was an Oasis.

All right, let's find out.

If somebody could create right

some type of pillow, oh, that

would keep humidity, right?

It's kind of two way control

that I could just throw in a

pack and just let it go.

Throw in the box and peel off

plastic and just toss it in.

Just leave it.

Forget it.

You know what?

It'd be good if it had a little

card to turn colors.

That way I would know when it

went back.

That would be fantastic.

That would be amazing.

The only way you can make that

better?

Yeah.

Is if you put it, attached it to

an app.

Oh, what a great idea.

Yeah, and that way, you know, we

should copyright that.

And that way there would be a

notification on my phone saying

that I suck because I don't take

care of my cigars because the

Cobblers kids have the worst

shoes.

College kid.

That's right.

College kids have the worst

shoes.

That's right, Right.

Let's read about this cigar.

OK, All Saints Solemente 2023

should be huge.

Huge.

In 2019, the then new All Saints

cigar quietly released.

We're going to release an LE.

It's.

Going to be limited.

Don't tell anybody.

We don't want to talk about it.

Don't tell nobody.

We won't tell him and nobody.

Will know it'll be fine.

It's a 5 by 58 Toro that uses

Ecuador and a banner rapper

covering the binder grown in

Nicaragua and a combination of

Honduran and Nicaraguan tobac

going, oh, I'm sorry, a

combination of Honduran and

Nicaragua and tobacco really got

a today.

The company's beginning to ship

the 2023 versions of the

Solamente or the 2019 that they

didn't tell anybody.

Oh my God.

Which is offered in the same

size and blend.

Just a coincidence.

Same size as the ones we didn't

tell anybody.

Four years of age though, right?

However this is.

additional four years.

This is where the similarities

end.

Super delicious. 43 minutes.

We should just do a compilation

of all delicious.

I have that delicious.

That does have a woody.

That was one blow.

You have to fucking suck the

shit out of it.

And so now we started knowing.

Delicious and then super

delicious.

That I want the I want all the

delicious is together, right?

There's only two.

Super delicious.

No, there's just the more

that.

So many delicious where the

similarities end in 2023 version

Cigars in a Box.

Michael Jordan, can you put to

it the company plans to release

Solemente is a limited edition

each year.

You have to put like a filler in

it, yeah, one of the blocks and

then something 7-7 and then

nine.

If you did 3 rows right.

But it's a bigger cigar, right?

What if you did a row 5 by 50?

8:00 What if you did a row 12

and 11?

What?

12 and 11?

Yeah, that would work too.

Yeah, but then it's a longer

box.

It is.

That's an awful lot more little

holes.

So many more so.

Many little hole guys,

revolutionary tiles, yeah.

You got that guy.

No paint, no paint on the inside

and more holes.

I don't want the holes.

I'm very tired.

I'm very tired my Ridge from

other hammer holes and tired.

It's so stupid.

It's a Mexican guy now.

Let's see.

Yeah, yeah.

Next year the 23 count box will

go to 24 count boxes.

So then it's lot.

Easy, nice and even 4 rows of 6.

4/4 rows of six right?

Or two rows of 12. 22 to 12 box,

Yeah, but then we still have the

guy tired.

From 4/3 rows of eight, I know

no so many choices.

Here where do we go with 21 roll

of 24?

You know, I think super long.

Yeah, one row of 24, super long.

How amazing would that be?

That would be fucking hilarious.

Give me 100 bucks count.

Single stick across the board.

What do you mean you don't have

the shelf space?

Yeah, I don't even want to hear

it.

I only want one facing it's.

Just the one, clearly there

could be one.

There's got to be 1 brand that

you could just remove some of

the stuff, get rid of all the

Espinoza, the 17 boxes they have

from.

There.

Oh my God.

If you looked at the 8020 roll,

you know that 80% of the humor

doesn't do anything.

It's only 20%.

So let's right easy.

Exactly.

That'd be a cool looking box

though, 100, yeah.

But they get out of cartoon ups.

UPS could would fucking their

ad, but it would go through the

roof.

How much is shipped at $135.00.

But they're $3 cigars.

Yeah, because it'd be fucking

shoot.

Oh, sorry.

Are you ready?

Yeah, I was reading the story.

Oh, we're waiting on.

There's a Mickey Bag quote and

yeah, you know, it's a huge,

it's a lot of thumbs up.

Yeah, like the rest of all stage

portfolio cigars made a deblical

era.

Villa Kuba as saying and essily.

Nicaragua excellent.

The Diesel sideshow returned

from 2023 it.

Actually looks kind of cool.

It does.

I like the box.

I like the way they presented

it, the diesel.

Diesel, yeah.

This it's a freak show.

It's called a freak show box or

something.

No, go ahead.

Go ahead.

I don't have to read it.

Tell me.

No, I want to know but tell what

the price is there just.

In 9995, there's only 8 cigars

you don't even have.

It's not in the story.

Yeah, exactly.

Last year the Diesel brand

released 7 unique cigars,

perhaps 8 cigars, as part of a

limited edition sideshow

sampler.

Now the sampler is once again

shipping to stores.

The cigars use Ecuador and

Habano, Pennsylvania.

Thanks again.

A lot of different things.

Let's see, Sampler has these are

the cigars that are in the

sampler.

The frog.

Boy, we're trying that again.

Yeah.

It's Tuesday, the Frog boy.

No meeting.

Yeah, cuz I'm here, he'll

answer.

Pen Head Do, Headed Nightingale,

Bearded Lady, Elephant Man,

Bohemian Twins, and The Strong

Man.

Justin.

He's a terrible person.

Yeah, what a great friend he is,

huh?

Technically there are 8 cigars

as a bohemian Twins is a cool

brat Cool.

How do I say it?

Again, kubba libre.

Kubba Libre, Kubbra Libre Yeah

that would work.

Traditionally a Cuba Libre

contains 3 cigars rolled

individually, but the twisted

together almost like the vines

of a plant.

Last year there were 1000

samples released.

Production numbers for 2023 have

not been announced, but the side

Joes described enterprise

release as a limited production

annually released.

That sounds like Hector, you

know what I mean?

He told us, he told us that last

night I was in the backyard, I

was having a cigar, my wife was

sitting there, says he was

sitting there and and he told us

that.

Then when I hung up I said, says

Well, thank you.

Thank you for always answering.

You'll have a bunch of cigars

and a bunch of swag for you.

Super.

I can't wait.

Great.

We'll pillage it before, yeah.

Great event.

Fine, but I'm bringing 10 signs

too, so.

Hopefully, uh, hopefully we'll

have a good event.

But there's the, you know, a

couple of signed bottles of

tequila.

There's boxes of cigars signed

by Guy.

Nice.

Oh, there's Deshon autos signed

by Guy.

Oh, nice.

I'm.

So excited.

I can't wait till he gets here.

You know, I don't think I can

keep up with with with the

previous pumpkin events, but

hopefully we can I.

Believe.

I believe you can do better.

I think this will be.

I believe you can do better.

How much higher he can throw the

pumpkins?

Is there a pumpkin throwing gun

you have to smash?

You have to smash the pumpkin in

order to see what you want.

But you don't have to throw a

pumpkin up to smash it.

You can just smash it.

Oh yeah, but we like up.

Everybody.

Everybody throws.

Everybody throws those in up.

Like they're they're usually

some angry people that try and

slam it down.

It doesn't look as good.

Hit by a pumpkin yet?

No, we've had some close calls,

though.

We've got a few close calls.

There's a waiver, don't worry.

Full disclaimer.

Yeah, I saw him.

I saw him at the Dolphin game.

What was that about?

Yeah, he was.

He's a big Dolphins fan.

He was living it up.

Huge.

I didn't know the dolphin fan.

I thought he had joined the the

Tampa Bay carousel.

Over there?

Oh no.

He loves the Dolphins.

The.

Fans up, baby.

Ben's the left, Ben's the right.

Wow, thanks a lot fellas.

You know, but what's really kind

of?

And let's talk about a couple

quick things before I let you

go.

Number one, it's really amazing

to see a team put up 70 points

and then fuck the dog the next

week against the Bills, who then

lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars

in England.

But, but I will tell you what,

there are six.

I think it's six NFL teams.

Have scored over 60 points in a

game and the following week they

are one and five collectively.

I believe it.

I believe it because you know

what happens?

They run a little less.

Anybody had to turn around the

Dolphins that get 48 drops on a

minute?

Yeah, no shit.

Yeah, yeah.

There was no hard work, no hard

work at that practice.

We're gonna be 5 again.

Again, cautiously optimistic.

We have played the 29th, 30th

and 31st worst teams in the NFL.

And I think we're about to play

the one of the worst in

Carolina.

So the record, while it is good,

we are playing some pretty bad

fucking teams right now.

You might say what?

Say that again.

I might have to say fucking on

the air, yeah.

Yeah, what the fuck we care.

Yeah, we're the number one

podcast.

We do whatever the fuck we want.

Yeah, we have.

We don't.

We have no sponsors for a

reason.

Oh listen, I got a text message.

Tyler Jones sends his back.

I love Tyler.

Oh yeah.

We love number one.

He's a little upset.

He wasn't invited to this, this,

uh, smashing pumpkin.

He's invited.

It's never too.

Late The Hustler guys were not

good at invitations, yeah.

Yeah, that's true.

All right, well, we gotta go.

Love you, love you.

Bye.

Right, right.

Jack Turan.

You think a sales office it

would have better phone or?

Espinos.

Where do you think he's posing

in the warehouse?

I don't know what's going on.

No, he's sitting in that little

dungeon him in.

Hector's desk?

No, if Hector, if Hector comes

and Jack comes and Eric comes,

we can't fit everybody.

I'm going to say, first of all,

Hector doesn't have to sit down

here.

That's fine, OK, OK, And #1 and

#2, he's not sitting in Hector's

office without Hector.

There, that doors locked.

No, they share that.

They share the.

He's not allowed in there.

Oh, Hector's not there, bro.

Bro, you know, but but my desk?

No.

Yeah, you can go.

You gotta be outside, you know I

only have the one key.

Yeah, I don't want you in here,

right.

Look, and it probably just said

that legit.

Probably.

It probably.

I really don't want you in here.

He just locks.

He just locks the door when he

leaves.

Yeah, right.

That's good.

Jack comes in and.

Biometric entrance or some shit.

Thumbprint only.

Yeah, fancy cop things.

Yeah, exactly.

And I got two more stories.

All right, but we're out of

time.

Just wrap them up real quick.

Let's see.

All right, Post.

Anya.

What deck?

Oh my God, we're gonna skip.

Post Anya War Bear two weeks ago

Lake County Cigars of.

Lake Country, you fucking

retard.

I don't understand why you can't

get that right, because there's

a Lake County, Florida just to

have.

Oh my God.

All right, I can edit.

That out, Bill, is just 8

minutes.

Hey, go to camera one.

So.

Camera 1-2 weeks ago at Lake

Country Cigars of Delafield,

Wisconsin hosted the launch of

it for the Post Anya Vote Deck

2023, now that cigars beginning

to arrive in stores nationwide.

Yes, the Most Anya Vote Deck

2023 is a 5 1/2 by 46 Bach Press

Corona Gorda.

Like previous VO Techs released,

it features 2 rappers, Ecuador

and Habano, and Mexican San

Andreas in an unbalanced Barbara

Pole design which most Barbara

Pole cigars aim to mimic the

appearance of a classic Barber

pole well, where the alternating

rappers occupy roughly the same

amount of service area, the Vote

tech has the Habano rapper shown

for most of the cigar.

I've said it four times.

You couldn't correct me in the

beginning.

Well, you just told me you were

editing me out.

The fact that you call the

fucking Lake County and not Lake

Country songs.

Oh, I wait, really, really

wasn't gonna oh, OK, that's so

much work.

This will be the second show.

I've had to completely add it.

Yeah, underneath the Indonesian

minder and fillers from the

Dominican Republic in Nicaragua.

Yeah, a modified version of the

Pastania Habano blend.

It's set at 1340 per cigar and

production is limited to 500

boxes of 21 cigars, which works

out in three rows or 7.

Yep, 3 rows, 7 right?

And then there's the Syrian

brown bear thing, blah blah

blah.

It's an amazing cigar.

It's amazing cigar.

Alright, The 2019 was 12

dollars, 2020 was $13 at 20/21

was 1340.

Yeah.

And this one's 1340, Yeah.

You missed a.

You could have went.

No, it's a smaller.

It's a smaller cigar.

I'm not an asshole, but there's

inflation.

There is inflation, rising cost

of Labor.

That's why it cost the same as

the Toro did two years ago.

Oh, right.

Delicious.

See another This is the 4th

release, also known as the War

Bearer.

Like the rest of the post on

Portfolio, it's made of

fabricated and then finally

Michael Cigar Oasis Ships Oasis

Pack.

Oh, what?

They must have heard us.

Oh my God, you're crazy.

You can go back to two film

Cigar Oasis is best known for

its electronic communication,

but the company has gotten into

the portable humidification

space thanks to a new

partnership with Interga

Specialty.

Stop it right now, the company

has announced.

Yeah, that is.

Begin shipping the Oasis Pack A2

Way Humidification Pack White

Label Agreement, meaning the

outside of the branding, the

packs are identical to the Boots

Packs cigar.

Oasis is focusing on 60.

Way it's a two way cigar.

Ways is focused on 69% relative

it where's relative you?

Mean relative.

It's about average, OK.

Kind of kind of sort of maybe

69, which will offer in both 67

grams and 8 grams.

So it's the big one in the

little one and it is also

offering the 62% and 75% and

just in the small sizes.

I hope they're focusing on the

69 like other two way

vindication.

Yeah, it's always better, yeah

Yeah.

What is?

What is 6.9?

6.9 Yeah, I don't know what it's

6.9 a fun eating ruined by

period.

Wow.

Like other two way vintigation

bags, your ace bag comes wrapped

in blades, always swinging,

always taking this swing.

All the consumer needs to do is

take the pack out of the plastic

bag and the peg will begin

working.

It's like magic.

Wow.

It aims to equalize the humidity

in its surrounding environment,

meaning the air is too dry.

It will add humidification.

Yeah.

Conversely, the air is too

moist.

It will absorb.

X Oh, I just need the app.

I need the I'm sorry, not the

Bo.

No, this doesn't.

Happen the Oasis pack.

Oh, it does come with that

little cart thing though.

Turn from pink to blue to having

a boy or a girl baby.
