How was your week, Michael?
My weekend.
Your week or weekend, whatever.
Saturday we went to the APS
Christmas party.
Did you?
Yes, I saw you there.
Oh, I was there.
Yes, you were there.
It was a lovely affair.
I had a good time. 20, OK.
I had a good time.
It was.
It was fun.
Yeah.
My wife had a great time.
My wife had a great time too.
Good.
It's really what's important.
Yeah.
And then we just, you know, we.
Just haven't gotten smoked.
We got the bullshit and your
children.
Your kids had fun running
around.
Yeah, pushed the the swing,
always did you?
Put the rock climbing wall in
your house yet?
No, we we didn't install the
rock climbing wall, Teddy.
Oh, well.
Well, she did too.
I would not bring it up.
But that would be pretty cool.
You're supposed to put a rock
climbing wall on here.
Well, they like it.
Teddy loved the rock climbing
wall.
Yeah.
It's pretty.
I mean, it's pretty easy.
Just they just come in a little
bag.
Those little things, yeah, you
just screw them to the wall.
But how do you know the where
they're supposed to go and
stuff?
Well you can put them anywhere
you want.
It doesn't like come with a map
like red one goes here, green
one no.
But you can color code them
because most rock climbing
places are color-coded so like
you would only climb on the red
ones like that's.
How are they like, easier, like
the different colors or
different difficulties?
Yeah, smaller pieces or less of
a ledge or something.
Oh.
Yep, interesting that came up.
I could do that.
We're already grown.
I could do that.
You could.
I could build that.
Just make sure you put them on
studs.
Pulls the drywall out.
Oh, not a bigger hole.
You can put them outside.
I can just run them through the
cinder block.
Yeah, yeah, that's on the House.
Yeah, Outback.
Yeah.
And then I have access to go and
you know.
And you can use it to climb up
on the roof, yeah.
But the problem is she can also
climb up on the.
Roof.
No ladder needed, right?
She could also climb up on the
roof.
I didn't.
I did.
It looked at him on the roof.
Yeah.
Oh, your roof's flat, so it
would be safe.
Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
Well.
Unless she finds a spite, Uncle
Greg fakes and she might fall
through.
True, I hit heritage cigars for
on Friday.
That's right, Friday night.
Very busy man.
Yeah, it was quite the day.
You didn't go over to the
Heritage Festival in Tampa, did
you?
No, that was on Sunday.
No, I couldn't do that.
What was I doing Sunday?
Oh, the football.
We went to the Bucks game.
Oh, oh, gotcha.
Our last game of the season.
We did chores.
Oh, very nice.
Last home game.
For us, yeah.
I mean, they have two other home
games, but we're not going.
There's on Christmas Eve and New
Year's Eve.
There's no fucking way I'm
taking the boys.
Yeah, like, so I'm gonna go to
the game.
Yeah, I'll be back.
Yeah, let me know how Santa
goes, you know?
Could you put on two?
We're talking back and forth.
Hey, so enjoy, enjoy New Year's
and I'm gonna go to the game,
all right?
I'm gonna go to the game.
Happy New Year.
To you.
Go Bucks.
Love you Go Bucks.
So I'll call you and those
should be.
Pretty easy to sell anyways.
Yeah, they're gone.
I get rid of them.
Nothing's easy to sell right now
with the Bucks.
Are you kidding me?
I'm like, somebody give me 50
bucks, please.
They're still in, aren't they?
Yeah, kind of.
They are.
Wild card.
They're called and I mean, they
could take the division.
It's possible.
Yeah.
Look, I think they're gonna fuck
it up next week anyways.
It doesn't.
Matter who do they play on New
Year's Eve?
On New Year's Eve, they're
playing the Saints.
Oh, and on Christmas Eve, I.
Don't know what that means.
On Christmas Eve, they're
playing the Jags.
Jags Yeah.
Oh, they could win that.
One Jacksonville Jaguars.
I mean, it's a possibility.
Well, the next game, Not at home
though, but the next.
OK, all right.
But the next game is the Atlanta
Falcons, and if they win, then
they could be in the top of the
division.
They're not gonna win.
They're gonna fuck it up.
You know, I just see how Atlanta
played.
How?
How'd they play it?
Like shit.
Yeah, they played horrible.
It could be a possibility.
The division is just so sad.
It's just one fucking gigantic
sad face.
So I said they're they're still
in it.
It's.
A sad face, it's.
Just one gigantic NFC Southland.
It's got a frowny face.
That's what it that's what it
looks like.
So I did the heritage, yada
yada.
I went there and that was pretty
cool.
They shortened, they shortened
their humidor.
They added more lounge space.
Yeah, which is nice.
So what?
What was this like?
What did you go there?
For it was their official grand
opening I.
Believe correct.
It was their official grand
opening and this was leading
into the weekend of Heritage
Cigar Festival.
Nice.
Oh, are there.
Is the name some type of
connection to the?
Festival.
Oh yeah, Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Big connection.
It looked like they did the
cigar festival different this
year.
It was indoors.
Was it?
From the photos I saw, oh,
interesting.
So they must have used.
There's a little museum there at
the back of the park.
They must have put everybody in
there instead of out in the
park.
Smart.
Did they sell tickets this year?
I heard they were selling
tickets.
I.
Gotta be honest, I have no.
Idea 'cause I heard last year
they sold tickets and then they
oversold the tickets, so they
just let everybody in know we
had to buy a ticket.
Fine, just come.
Which pissed off.
The people who paid.
Tickets, right Son of A.
Bitch, why did I spend my money?
Ray.
Ray Mabelonts.
Yeah, yeah, the mouthhole BBQ.
So he opened his kitchen, like
the the area for him.
Is it connected to the?
Yeah, but it's enclosed and
there's no smoking in that area.
The whole shebang.
Gotcha.
Oh, but it's connected.
That's nice.
Yeah, And I gotta tell ya, so so
I did the event and then I had
to go 'cause I had I.
Had I had to hurry back?
I had a basketball game that was
crouching, and then we had the
druest event, right, The druest.
And then we did a podcast and
we'll talk about that in a
minute, right?
So I'm going to leave and raise
like, you know, you want any
food to go.
I'm like, I got to go.
It's OK, man.
Don't worry about it.
No food take.
Food.
And he's like, Are you sure?
I'll just give me two seconds
And I said oh fuck yeah.
All right, I'll take some food.
My car got blocked by an 18
Wheeler.
Oh, I saw the photo.
Yeah, so, so.
You had a minute for the food.
So I was like, OK, fuck it.
Right, I have to wait.
I got to tell you, dude, this
guy's fucking BBQ is ridiculous.
I heard it was good he.
Gave me brisket, pork sausage,
ribs.
Wow.
Yeah, he gave me all.
I devoured it in less than 10
minutes.
All very easy to eat in the car.
With my hands, I just sat out in
front of the car and just
fucking.
I think you're driving chewing
on a rib.
I was.
That was my plan.
But I was waiting for the truck
to.
What type of rib was it?
Like the Big Beef Rib I.
Don't know it's delicious.
What was it bigger or little?
It was about medium pork, maybe.
I don't know.
It was awesome, I can tell you
that.
It was fucking awesome.
His food was ridiculous.
And what's crazy is, you know
when you when you have that many
people there, right, you would
think that the quality would be
less right to some degree.
You you gotta move.
You know you're going.
Mass producing.
So if this is if if what I
experienced was not his best,
you know.
Lower end of good.
Yeah, it was not his, you know?
Hey, I got time to make this
perfect, right?
And it was fucking amazing.
I can only imagine what it
tastes like.
Were there a lot of people
eating?
There were.
Oh, well, that's good for him.
Yeah, he was going, man, it was
fantastic.
Got to see Mike Rosales.
That's.
Right.
Yeah, hung out.
Mike Denny stopped by from Cle.
Oh.
Oh, Pete Hernandez stopped by.
Oh, I saw a picture of Pete and
Edka at the Heritage.
He's lost more weight.
Yeah, he looks good.
His head looks smaller.
Yeah, you don't remember when
the.
No, I know he lost weight.
But he looked.
He was running up the stairs.
He looked smaller than then.
Oh, it looks good.
It looks good.
We're just getting fit in the
industry.
You know what?
I mean, right, everybody, right?
I mean the two of you, but
everybody.
The two of us, the two of.
You.
Oh, Mike.
Denny's looks all right too.
I can't picture him off the top
of my head.
That's because you never come
here.
Oh, maybe that's why.
And when he did come here, we
just would never leave.
Like Alfredo leaves too fast.
Mike Denny's.
He doesn't go oh.
We hang out.
Who else was there from the
industry?
Just the three of you than
anybody else could you.
A lot more people might have
showed because Heritage was
coming up, which is apparently
is why Rosales was there,
because there was pictures of
him in Heritage.
Yeah, that was a parlay, right?
Well, this guy now runs Grand
Cathedral.
He runs Heritage and then oh.
The guy in charge of heritage.
And then he just bought King
Corona, I think.
Oh, wow.
Really.
I've been there.
So yeah, I've been to two of the
three.
Never been to Heritage.
I've never been to.
Heritage.
There's a younger guy involved
in Heritage too.
I know him.
I can't think of his name off
the top of my.
Head, Jamie.
My B.
Did he work there?
Yeah, he works there.
I thought he was one of the
partners.
He's not a partner.
If that was him, he's.
Not.
Oh, then maybe that's not him.
I apologize if you're a fan of
the show.
He's not there anymore.
Oh, I could be too.
Yeah 'cause I haven't heard from
him lately.
I talked to him the other day.
So did him a basketball game.
Right.
Did they win?
They won.
They won.
They the coach dominate.
Well, I mean, I'm not really the
head coach in this.
I'm the.
I'm the number 2.
Well, it's only a matter of
time.
Just.
Man, I handle it.
No.
I wait.
To be fair, when you were doing
the scoreboard, you said you'd
never coach.
Yeah, do you remember that?
You remember that?
That was like episode 2208 or.
Maybe 208 or something.
Yeah, I'll never coach
basketball.
I don't know anything about
basketball.
Just helping out this one time
on the scoreboard.
Now you're the I'm a sucker for
my kids, man.
It doesn't.
That's why you.
That's why.
We're saying, hey, can you, you
will be there.
Hey, can you coach?

Fuck yeah.
Bring it on, dude.
You're gonna see.
Palmer, walk out of the gym the
next time you go and you're
gonna be like, what are you
doing here?
No reason.
Then you're gonna go in and go
like, hey, you want to be the
head coach.
Well the head coach that I the
that guy that I coach with is
great.
He knows the basketball he's you
know my kid and his kid are
friends right.
He's awesome.
He's not.
Don't have.
To move his job will transfer.

Something will happen and you'll

He's not like that.
He's not the type of dad.
He's an involved parent.
No, I mean, he'll still be
involved, but something will get
busy after the first of the

basketball.
Fuck you guys.
So let's talk about your your
half wheel reviews 'cause I
don't have it in the news, I.
Think we used to be able to
talk.
About this, you don't have it in
the.
News.
I don't like pulling the reviews
for the news.
I used to do that and then they
'cause they're so long and
winded and so I figure we talk
about it now before we get into
the other stuff.
But we could, you know what we
should do when the reviews
happen.
You could say whatever it is, if
there's three or four that we
know or we like or whatever, so
and so gets a 89.
Oh, of other people.
Oh, we can do that.
Yeah, they review somebody every
week.
Yeah, So you can say this one
and I'm like, oh, that's the
Garcon.
But you get 290 ones last week.
I I I did.
Yes, we did.
We did.
We we we we we did it.

So after the basketball game, I
came and joined my fellow Cigar
Housers podcast Brethren at.
Not right as you got back
because you had to do the raffle
upstairs.
You did that first.
No, we went up.
We were upstairs doing the state
event.
I was gonna oh, I thought you
meant the end of my sentence.
Coming to was the end of my
sentence.
I would have finished my
sentence if you had said.
The brother in were you?
Upstairs.
Yes, I was were.
You upstairs?
Clicking photos and social media
posting boots wise, Phil was not
here.
So you guys were upstairs?
Phil was down here setting up
the room.
OK.
For for our largest studio
audience, we've ever.
Had, yeah, apparently, yeah, it
was.
They couldn't get in fast.
Pedro's like, come on, let's
bring.
Everybody down.
I get you on.
Come on, you come in.
Hey, you at Circle K, Come on
over.
Do you like to be on the show
all?
Right, so this is where she gets
in.
You are the best.
So we did a podcast with with
Pedro from True Estate.
Yes, and he was a little.
You know, he's very thirsty.
He was, he was very, very, yeah.
Yeah, so, so after we did the
podcast, yes, Pedro politely
reached out to me the following
day.
And.
Or I actually.
I thought you're gonna because I
left right after the podcast.
I thought something happened
upstairs.
No, I actually text him and I
had a question for him and then
he said hey, hey.
By the.
Way.
I'd really like to listen to the
podcast before you air.
It sounded just like that.
Complete perfect English.
Yeah, yeah, All of a sudden he
was.
All of a sudden, he was fine.
No way.
All of.
A sudden He's from Chicago.
Well, actually it was.
Well, he sent it via text,
Right?
Right.
But it started with my main I
would like.
I would like.
To could I look at?
Could I listen just a?
Little bit please as of right
now.
Which we normally don't do.
We normally don't.
We normally don't do.
We normally don't do, no.
Pedro has been a good friend for
a long time, A long time, and he
reminded me of some shit that I
did back in the day, right.
I didn't even remember.
I totally forgot about it.
It's just I didn't think twice
about it.
There was a time when he was in
Miami, right?
He had just moved into Miami,
right?
And he didn't have.
I don't know.
I guess he didn't really know
anybody.
And I drove down there, right?
And.
Just to see him.
I think it was kind of a parlay,
obviously visiting.
Your mother I.
Took him around for some
groceries and stuff, some stuff
like that and helped him out.
This is how we buy groceries in.
America.
And then he like he mentioned
that.
Oh, it was super nice.
I.
Was like, oh shit, that's right.
I did do that.
But it.
But I didn't think anything of
it.
You know what I mean?
It's something you would do for
anybody, yeah.
And just the way, you know small
guy from Nicaragua had meant
them big deal.
He has always been nice to me,
right?
So of course you know and.
He remembered my name when I
walked, when he saw me upstairs,
when I first came back, which I
thought was very nice.
And when, Yeah, 'cause he's a
nice guy.
And when he had come up a long
time ago, before he was no
longer allowed to speak to me,
'cause there was a period of
time.
Yeah, where there was a seasoned
assist against anything.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
You know, I, you said.
Hey, come on to the Come over to
the house, we'll have dinner.
Whatever.
This one.
I only had one kid.
Oh, you had him to your house?
I had, yeah, I just had the one.
Child Jax.
Yeah.
Oh wow.
I had him.
In the apartment, Yeah.
In the apartment, Yeah.
Oh, I.
Didn't even know you.
I forgot about that.
'Cause every since I've known
you, you've been in the house.
Really.
I think so.
Unless you were in an apartment.
I didn't know it, 'cause we
weren't that level.
Yet nine years I've been at the
house.
I go back about nine years, OK?
So yeah.
And I was like, yeah, man, you
know, those are things that I
don't think twice about, right?
You know?
But you could tell that it made
a big impression on him.
And, like, he's always been a
good guy.
So you know, because he is.
The personal relationship.
Yeah, yeah.
We're going to hold this back.
It probably won't see the light
of day.
It might not.
It might not.
It probably won't see the light
of day.
However, you know, whatever,
whatever it is, what it is, we
do have some sound clips.
So we do have at least one sound
clip that we we should play so
that people understand the level
of the podcast that it was.
It was bananas.
It wasn't bananas.
It was bananas.
Kept saying we were gonna go
bananas.
It was gonna go bananas, so
without further ado going, by
the way.
Cigar Hassler is the God damn
fucking best.
And that's true.
That's.
So accurate, yes, that's so
accurate and.
The guy was wild.
Yeah, he was bananas.
He wasn't.
Bananas.
He was bananas.
It was bananas.
So.
Shout out to Pedro and KD for
coming out with the Jewish state
event.
It was a fantastic event.
It was, it was a good time.
It's good seeing lots.
Of swag, a lot of giveaways and
they're very generous.
There's giving.
I think they gave some stuff
away.
It wasn't even.
There we we had a blast, man.
We had a blast.
I got there late, but.
Well, we had a blast.
We were there.
You guys had a blast.

The last 20 minutes.
Oh, then I enjoyed the podcast.
Yes, the podcast was fantastic,
whether it whether it makes it

The podcast was a lot of.
Fun.
There's a lot of it of us over
talking to him because you have
to things that were going on.
Yeah, we were.
We were trying to have a
discussion and he just wouldn't.
He was going on.
He was.
He wouldn't stop.
Yeah, He was a beast.
He was a beast.

Great for your fun facts over
there.
Phil's fun facts do do, do, do.
He's not even ready.
Welcome the Cigar Hustlers
podcast feature Phil's Fun
Facts.
Hello, people.
All right, fellas, back in the
17th, 117th century.
Whatever it says.
Physicians believe that smoking
cigars could help cure a variety
of ailments, including headaches
and even the plague.
They thought the smoke would
drive away the disease.
Turns out that wasn't exactly
accurate.
There's no joke, it just sounds.
What it was, that was terrible?
I was looking for the punch so
that.
Was terrible.
Is that true?
I really.
They did that.
Yeah.
I'm trying to see apparently.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Where do you find that, Sir?
You.
Have to Google a lot of Google.
Google.
A lot of Google, a lot of
searching.
Lot of searching lot.
Of Google.
At a Google.
We Google.
And under the news from the four
corners of the world, all the
cigar industry news you could
possibly need, The Cigar Hustler
Podcast report with Mike too,
Jura State announces a 2024
price increase.
We start with that.
Jura State, one of the largest,
if not the largest cigar company
in the USA, has announced that
it will increase prices next
year.
Effective January 2nd, 2024, the
company's new pricing will go
into effect.
In a letter sent to retailers,
Drew State says What?
Do.
You want.
Sigur Hassler is the goddamn
fucking best, that's what.
They said no price increase
here.
No price increase here.
It said the weighted average of
the changes amounts to an
increase of approximately 4.5%
Portfolio wide.
The company said its 2023 price
increase amounted to roughly
4.5% also.
So apparently it's a yearly
thing as was the case for 2023.
The price actions are we are
taking for 2024 are a direct
result of a wide range cost
increase.
Well, I was looking to see you
did and see if I needed to go
back.
It's not Jonathan through it's
David Lazarus who I'm not
familiar with.
We have made every effort to
navigate and mitigate all cost
increases that have been cured
over the past 18 months.
After careful assessment and
analysis, these costs pressures
along with continued labor
challenges that made these price
changes unavoidable.
While a select group of
companies notably altered his
USA and dab it off of Geneva,
USA announced price increases in
the third quarter and earlier in
Q4, most cigar companies
announced the price increase
around the new year.
Below is we don't have that
list.
Arango to distribute Aladio
Diaz's and Versario in the USA.
The Latio Diaz 70th Anniversary,
a limited edition cigar
originally destined just for the
European market, is now shipping
to US retailers thanks to
distribution agreement with the
Arango Cigar Company.
Arango Arango Cigar was shown
off at the Interbag 2023
International Tobacco Trade Show
that took place in mid-september
in Dortmund, Germany.
All the details about the cigar
remain the same, though
nothing's changed.
In the US, the Eladio Diaz 70th
Anniversary is priced at 1995.
For Cigar, there were 1400
boxes.
How does that play out for
Alfredo?
Because he was running the
Elanio shit.
Oh, was he?
Yeah.
Well, apparently he lost it.
Wow.
I I would imagine the
representative did not say.
The Diaz and Cup families have a
change of heart about releasing
the cigar in the US in light of
its importance as a cigar
market.
The Cup Family operated Cup
tobacco, formerly known as Some
Word I can't pronounce the
distributor of the cigars in
Europe.
As for the #70 in the cigars
name, it references more than
just Diaz's 70th birthday, a
milestone he celebrated on May
28th.
There's also play on the #7 his
mother bought.
Who are we calling Alfredo?
Aladio.
Calling Aladio I.
Was gonna say hello, Sir.
Much.
Well, hello.
Sir, how are you this lovely
afternoon?
I'm doing well, so you're on the
podcast, just so you know.
I am on the podcast Wonderful
right now.
Right now.
Amazing.
So.
Listen, I had a quick question
for you.
Do you still do you still handle
representation for Aladio,
Aladio, Aladio, Diaz super
eager?
For, well, for.
Freud for, Yes for.
Freud, yeah, because he does
have his new one that just came
out on Afrio on.
He's doing on his own.
But we, I do represent Freud.
Yeah.
So.
How does that work?
So he doesn't.
So he that's a different
company.
Well, he owns the factory.
He makes the cigars, that many
of the cigars that Floyd sells,
we have some victorious made
stuff as well.
But but he's got his own, yeah,
he's got his own factory and and
yeah, he's doing that on his
own.
It's kind of odd that he
wouldn't use the distribution
that the factory uses for the
Super ego, but.
It is, but that's above my pay
grade.
I don't have those questions.
OK.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, can you by chance get us
his birthday cigar?
The one.
That's in the in.
The trunk of his car.
A lot of you in the trunk of his
car, a lot of you.
He passes them out.
He doesn't they?
Yeah.
I'll grab.
I'll grab them for you next time
I see him.
Really.

hell happened there.
All right, well, you're breaking
up, so I just wanna.
Hey thanks for the for the
birthdays ago.
Thanks.
For enlightening us on the
situation and making it totally
clear that Freud is not the same
company that Eladio's new cigar
is.
All right, brother.
I'll talk to you later.
Love you.
Bye all.
Right.
Bye.
Be safe.
We may or may not get those.
You might have just died.
You may have just.
Crashed his car into a lake.
Of town like so.

I stopped listening.
I know you're on your phone,
yeah.
And you saw the Camera 2 on So
everybody saw.
I'm fine with that and none of
that bothers me.
PCA has launched a grant program
for state associations.
I figure maybe we see how we get
some PCA money.
The Premium Cigar Association
has announced a new grant
program aimed at funding various
state associations.
The Cigar Hustler Association,
The oh CHA.
Not CA cha.
Cha, cha, cha.
Yeah, the Cha Cha as people call
us Indiana.
What's that guy's name?
Scott What?
What's his name?
I.
Don't know?
Let's read it on the scene,
Scott.
The new program will see the PCA
awards grants to state cigar
retailer associations, like, for
example, the Texas Cigar
Merchants Association or the New
York Tobacconist Association.
Oh, oh, it'll be the Florida
Hustler.
Association Florida.
HA.
The FHA, yes.
Oh.
That hasn't been used before.
No.
In order to see the grant, the
organization will need to apply
to the PCA.
We can do that, Sure.
Yeah.
Specify what the money will be
used for.
Might lie there as a condition
to receive the grant.
Oh, further further video
educational films.
We can do that.
Wait a second.
We can do that.
We have to make films.
Yeah, we just released these.
Yeah, we.
We're.
Very educational.
We're talking about them right
now.
Yeah, we do.
Yeah.
You know, it was funny.
Two years ago, they had no
money.
Now they're giving it away.
We got so much money, so much
money.
Now we just giving it to people.
What are we doing with all his
money?
All his money, they were down to
two to employees at one time,
yeah.
Yeah, I thought they were going
away.
The condition to receive the
grant.
The state organization will need
to agree to match whatever the
PCA is awarding, and we can fake
that there, yeah.
That's a fucking PDF Photoshop
file away.
That's.
Right.
Joshua Habersky, the PC as head
of government affairs, told
Cigars With Podcast That
they'll.
Pull up in Lambos.
Vary in dollar mounts, but
provided a range of 5000 to
$15,000 per grant.
We're gonna need the big one.
Well, it's not quite Lambo
money, but hey, you know, 15 GS.
We can all get verses, yeah.
Yeah.
Actually we could.
That's about 5000 each about
what they.
Got you get 3 verses.
There are no restrictions as to
how much a stabilization could
ask for.
Back to the Lambo money.
That's the limit.
That's right.
The PCA is hoping to use this
money to not only strengthen the
more established state
organizations, but also to help
the newer and less funded
groups.
We're the newer, less funded.
You're.
So less funded.
This is not only a way for us to
support existing state
associations and their advocacy
capacity, but also establish
baseline for starting a brand
new state association with
perspectives of Seed OH.
Seed money.
Seed.
I'm sorry.
Wow.
Wow, that's nice.
In order to see the grant, there
are a variety of conditions
beyond that the grant must have
matched by the state group.
These include having
incorporated an active state
association.
No problem.
Have an elected board of
directors.
Not a problem.
Not a problem.
I vote for you.
Yeah, all in favor.
Now you do like OPCA does during
breakfast or whatever in the
middle of the day like you're
here, board members are please
say aye in favor or nay if you
do know.
OK.
I heard the eyes.
That's it.
Directing we have to have a
designated treasurer with
authority over account.
That's fine.
That's you.
Yeah, thank God I.
Have no idea what something.
I don't want to handle anyone.
No, he can't.
He's not allowed to touch him.
No, nothing.
Agree to comply with PCA
reporter requirements.
We agree.
Yeah, yeah, we totally agree.
Agree to PCA involved in
consulting lobbyist selection
process.
We agree.
Oh we're doing a video
application.
Agree to the school yes.
We'll send this to Mister
habersky agreed to disclose any
and all issues for which funds
are used for which lobbyist is
engaged yeah OK that's fine we
only got to report the
lobbyists.
That's a Lamborghini it's
250,000 I want to hold on to
that one.

development.

budget and amount and source of
funds raised by the status of.

important issue that affects the
bottom line of retailers that it

called to the Wawa along the
25th street around 12:30 AM on
Thursday.
Upon arrival they found a woman
who claims she and her boyfriend
had been threatened by a 30 year
old Angelique Glenn the report
showed according to the woman
Glenn had accidentally placed
her wine bottle with the couple
's orders and once the couple
realized that they got a refund
for the wine investigators said
however Glenn became angry and
said something to the effect of
why can't you just pay for my
bottle of wine Glenn reportedly
began threatening the couple
before striking them both with
the wine bottle knocking the
boyfriend uncocked.
She then continued to make
threats saying she was going to
in parentheses kill them as she
walked out to the parking lot
according to the affidavit Glenn
was later taken into custody
where she faces 2 counts of
aggregated aggravated battery
with a deadly weapon for those
charges she is now held on bond
for 30. 1000 wait a second so
she they accidentally paid for
her.
They put all their stuff up on
