There's more than.
Seven.
OK, Nine.
There's no one.
There's not.
Can't be like a Tyree kill.
Can't get out of jail free.
What are you talking about?
That guy did not.
I saw that some Miami player got
arrested on the way to the game.
The.
Best Miami player.
Oh, is he the best one?
He didn't get arrested, he got
detained.
He did the saw.
That handcuff and yeah, and the
police officer, they obviously
the body camera footage and he
was instantly on administrative
leave.
Ohh yeah.
They pulled him, yeah.
Yeah, like, dude, you're at the
stadium.
He he was literally like within
a half a mile from the stadium.
Yeah, did they not know who he
is?
It'll be interesting to see how.
Low Ringo.
Hey, you're Tyree kill.
Let's pull over this Lambo.
Right by the.
Stadium, it was a fur player.
A fur is a fur.
Yeah, it's.
Not a player.
Black guy in a Lambo right by
the stadium.
Yeah, big goal chain.
There's a big difference between
a Lambo and a Ferrari.
I'm sorry, I know we saw the
dealership in West Palm Beach
last week.
They're right next to each
other.
Oh yeah.
Did we?
I didn't see him.
Yeah, right there on Okeechobee
Blvd.
Oh, remember when I said this
used to be the slums and you're
going?
Well, not anymore.
Yeah, it was Beamer, Bentley,
Lambo, Ferrari.
Yeah, right.
So you did a little bit of
travelling.
We, we did well.
I mean, I I tagged along a
little.
Bit.
Oh yeah, so well, actually I
tagged along.
You tagged along.
Yes, which I'm going to ask more
questions next time.
Yeah, yeah, you're gonna ask
more questions About what?
You when you invite me along on
these little.
Things with you, Why I think
What was wrong with it?
What time does it get out?
I don't Fact Check these things.
OK, so I went to the Vault
conference with the the Patrick
bet David.
Yeah.
Did you look at that at all
'cause you screwed up the day it
started, I screwed up and what
time it ended.
So I.
Mean Well, it technically
started the day that I got
there.
It's just that it wasn't.
It wasn't.
Bright.
Early in the morning, just
wasn't actual speaking or
anything.
Right.
I will tell you this.
I mean, there was a lot that I
took away from it.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's not.
It's not like your motivational
speaker thing.
No chanting then.
No, there's no chanting.
And you know it's funny because
I know that you like to pick
jokes about it and stuff, but to
be perfectly honest, no, there
was no chanting.
Oh, chanting, I mean like, OK,
what you talking about?
Everybody you know say I'm the
best, I'm the best.
Don't say no, say yes.
Don't say no.
It's not that type of
conference.
Oh, what's here's what I can
tell you is.
There chanting.
I would like the chanting
please.
If I could tell you anything, if
any, if I took anything away
from it, yes, it would be
clarity about perspective and
and where I need to propel all
of our businesses.
OK, so it was really kind of
fascinating, man.
You know, you sat and you listen
and and I mean, the guy fucking
speaks forever.
I mean, he's up to.
That he's said day.
Was it Day 2?
Yeah.
Yeah, they do.
He's probably a long time.
He's 1030.
Nine, man, he's like, he's like
the Paul McCartney of fucking
speakers.
He kept kept doing what on
course.
He just kept.
He kept.
Starting to walk off and then
come back at her.
Like there was a lot of detail
and he broke down a lot of
different avenues and aspects of
business.
And you know, what I have
learned about running businesses
is that there are gaps, sure.
And things that you're doing
wrong that you may not even
realize that you're doing them
wrong.
OK, makes sense.
Right.
So this conference is kind of
like a broad conversation about
all of these things that you
need to figure out how to do,
right.
And I'm thinking, oh, yeah,
yeah, no, I need to do.
I need.
To Oh yeah, I'm not doing that.
I gotta do that.
That's a great idea.
I need to.
Do that, Yeah.
So that and the fact that
Patrick Bet David wants to have
more kids in Genghis Khan Kong.
Is that the the guy that I'm
following now?
No, that's Andy Elliott.
Oh, OK, yeah, he emailed.
He loved it that.
Guy's intense.
Yeah, barely.
That guy's intense.
I like that guy too.
I've listened to him as junk
emails.
No like I'm not buying the
books.
Stop already.
I I literally answered the first
one with I found somebody with a
book they're going to let me
borrow it.
They wanted $14.00 for shipping.
Yeah, here's how you get my free
book.
Give me your name, address and
phone number.
So how are you going to get it?
Well, you have it now.
Yeah, but it's got to be shipped
to you.
You want them to cover the
shipping too?
Yes, it then it's not free
anymore.
It doesn't cost $14.00.
The book is free.
It doesn't even cost that much
to send cigars.
OK.
So maybe the shipping is
inflated.
Yeah, they they all like. 14
bucks, it's got free shipping.
Right, exactly why did you say
that?
Yeah, it doesn't.
Doesn't sound it's a.
Paper bag book you get a.
Free book.
I just need to.
You just need to get it.
A lot of places do that, like oh
get the free knife but send it
$75.00 in shipping.
It's not free and your Social
Security.
And your Social Security?
I'll tell you what, he brought
all of his employees.
Who didn't?
The guy I'm the guy I'm
following.
Did he all?
How many?
How many y'all?
A lot.
I want to say close to 100.
Oh wow.
That's a lot.
And I met a couple of them.
They're really good guys.
Yeah, they're all out of
Arizona.
Oh, why did he bring all those
employees?
To help them level up, to
educate them.
Wait.
Oh, oh, he was attending the
seminar.
Not part of the seminar.
Yeah.
Oh, I thought he was part of no.
Oh.
What level was he in the CEO?
Down the, down in the little.
Special city.
I mean, it was like.
He was, well, I'm sure he was
all his people.
Too.
No, no, no.
They're general back there.
They're.
Behind you, back there.
With the stowage.
Right, they're way in the back
with the binoculars.
Where's the line here?
I mean, they're going to get the
information.
Right.
That's well, when we talked
about it and you told me about
the different levels and what
you pay, I was like, so what's
the difference?
The networking makes a
difference.
Oh, you get the oh, you network
with the people to pay the more
that you sit with.
Yeah.
So you didn't have to sit with
the stowage.
I didn't.
You called it.
No, I was well you.
Didn't get to mingle with the
fence.
I was one level above heathen.
I was got you.
There's Heathen Commoner.
Commoner.
Yeah, I was.
Yeah.
You were surf.
Yeah, and then there's
landowner.
Yeah.
And then royalty.
Yeah, correct.
Excellent Landowner.
It was.
It was cool, man.
It was really cool.
I enjoyed it.
Good.
Yeah, You know, it's all that
counts.
I learned a lot.
Yeah.
I highly recommend it.
I really do.
I'm going to make you cum.
As long as you pay.
Wait, wait, did you stay in
fact?
Don't you dare.
You're going to give him ammo?
I'm gonna put that on my phone.
I tell you, the person that I
really want to bring the most,
Yeah, is my wife.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, there's not a package
deal for like, more than one
person.
No.
You know, they should be like a
company.
But you know what?
There is a package deal.
I'm sorry.
Oh wow.
Yeah.
What is it like?
It's like there's a general
level package deal.
I'll send it back.
I don't care.
I can hear that.
It's the same thing to me.
It's a microphone.
Coming.
You said there's a giant video
screen?
Yeah, the guy's got a microphone
so you can hear him.
Yeah, I'll send it back.
With the book you gotta.
I'll send it back with the
homeless people.
I don't.
Care not all homeless.
Close your eyes.
It's being like an audio book.
Right, exactly.
Now you don't have to pay 14990.
Perfect.
That's a different guy, Totally
different guy, Totally different
guy.
His books are free ship.
He was 17.
That guy's all sales.
That guy's Salem.
Right, right, right.
Whereas Patrick's more business.
Every time I got you.
Does your wife want to go?
Did you tell her about it?
Was she like all excited did?
No, it doesn't seem like
something she wants to do.
She's not I mean, she's more
introverted, right, You know
sure so but I think that she
would get a lot from it so she
can send it back gunning for her
to come with me.
She's.
In the back with me, it's OK.
I'm pushing, I'm pushing for her
to come with me next year.
So what's the package deal?
I don't know, I.
Mean, I, I know what you paid
and I know what the big guys
paid.
So is it like does it, is it
feasible like you like if you
bring four or five to not buy
individual things?
Yeah, you could do that.
Oh, you're asking if it's a
better deal?
Yeah, if it's a better deal with
peoples, yeah.
I mean, like, could you spend
the same amount of money that
you spent but bring people, but
you sit back maybe a.
Row or two or something.
Yeah, maybe.
That's what I was looking at.
Oh, then we can't share a room
though.
No, it's going to be in Tampa
next year anyways.
That's right.
That's true that you did too.
Right before the Bucks game
there.
You go.
Oh.
By the way, you were on TVI saw.
I was.
Oh yeah, Britney did that.
Yeah, I did go to the Bucks
game.
Yes, you were on TV.
Yeah, yeah.
We had a great time.
They crushed.
Who'd you take this time?
I took Levi, OK, And I took
Derek.
So the Baldwins were on a
cruise, so they didn't go.
Oh, they were on a cruise.
So Christy taking a picture of
the big screen TV on a boat
going, this is the way he should
have game day or something like
that makes sense.
Maybe she's on a cruise, maybe
he didn't get to go.
I don't know.
There were no photos of him.
I would have been a Earl's
weekend.
Maybe, I don't know.
So you saw some stores?
Yes, yeah.
How'd that go?
Yes, some good, some bad.
Some good, some bad there.
Yeah, yeah, some not worth
another meeting or another trip
in just was not going to be a
fit at all type of thing.
But there were some that
actually went well, you know?
OK.
Two that went really well, one
that went medium well and then
you know.
Nice. 3/3 went medium well.
Yeah, yeah.
Good for you.
Yeah, look at you, just making
the rounds.
Sure.
It's crushing it, National sales
manager.
Right.
That's just it's very busy, very
busy.
You are busy.
You're ramping up, very busy.
Very.
You got a lot going on.
There is a lot going on.
Hey, we got a, you know, we have
a clear vision as to where we're
taking this business, right?
I don't know if it's clear.
It's clear to me.
It could see it.
Well I mean yesterday he just
randomly texted me how great we
are, which was very nice.
But I just, I was like, well,
this is nice.
He must be doing something.
I randomly texted you how great
we are.
We were talking about something
else, but you randomly threw in
about how we're going to
dominate the industry or
something as a separate, not not
applying to whatever.
Would you throw that out here?
Now it's out.
Well, everybody should know.
Yeah, well, we are going to
dominate the.
Industry actually did.
Say that on bears.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
Were you on Bear Show again?
No this.
One year there before.
Yeah, Rich.
Remember he only listed the 1st
5 minutes.
Yeah, I still don't, still don't
think the John Carney show's
going up you ever.
But I really want to watch it.
Yeah.
He's a little slow on that.
Apparently two weeks now he just
did another show.
Omar was on.
Yeah, so I was gonna say Omar
was on yesterday.
Yeah, talking.
They were talking about rockets
and things.
Nice.
Did Carney do the Snack Shack
this past Sunday?
Snack Shack.
I don't know, I saw him getting
on a plane either this morning
or yesterday, so maybe not.
I did not see the snack shack.
I didn't go.
I went there one time.
Oh.
He's got a lot of logos.
Yeah.
Yeah, he put up a thing with all
those logos on it and I don't.
I've only heard of two of them.
Well, three counting Snack
Shack.
Giants.
There's a Giants.
There's another one that's the
same color as the Giants.
I couldn't really tell what that
was, right?
Bentley's in the middle, snack
shacks on the bottom.
So.
Yeah, there's, well Purveyors
was on there.
That's the one.
What's purveyors?
What is that?
1 golden purveyors?
Yeah.
What is that?
Andalusian Bowl.
Golden Do.
Oh, is he still part of that?
I guess.
Yeah, that that was like, I
think the first start of his AI.
'Cause that's not directly
affiliated with LFDI.
Guess.
Oh it's not.
I thought it was.
I have no idea.
No, that's a project that he's
worked on outside of it.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah, I don't know where he was
headed to.
He didn't say, but he was
getting on a plane.
So yeah, I heard the Rock speak
too.
I asked you if you saw him.
You said no.
I said yes.
No, you said no.
I said yes.
And you didn't?
On Saturday I had to leave
rushed the stage.
Friday I had to leave to go
coach the boys football.
Yeah, you weren't there Friday.
But he was he wound up being
there on Saturday, so I drove
back for Saturday.
Yes, you drove back for
Saturday.
All by myself.
I was not going again, Michael.
Yeah, it's for the car ride.
I left at 4:00 AM.
Did you really?
Yep.
Oh, I'm so glad I didn't go.
And then Sunday, I drove to the
Bucks game.
I've been in my car.
Yeah, yeah, that sounds like it.
Fun car to It's a fun car to
drive.
It is a fun car to drive for.
For a couple hours, not all day
like that.
Sorry, I I have to, I have to go
through the message of you ask
me if we talk shit about a
certain person.
Stop it.
That happens every.
Stop it.
Stop.
It I'm not saying who.
So Oh my God, so the rock was
there.
So he spoke about the same stuff
to the other gentleman I'm
speaking about.
Yeah, they just did.
He did an interview with him.
Oh.
OK.
Yeah, nice.
He's really good.
No rushing the stage.
No, it's not my time yet to work
with the Rock, but it'll happen.
It will.
It'll happen.
It'll happen.
Hey, you OK?
Yeah, let's let's move on.
Dude, you're in a red line.
Stop, you get.
You're making me angry.
Now put the phone.
Putting the timer back on, put.
Passionate.
The phone.
Passionate.
Passionate not.
I'm making you passionate.
How's the lawn, motherfucker?
I spread it over two days.
The real it's already get done
in one day. 2 day put up a real.
I like it better that way.
I see why it takes you so long
now.
I saw you picking up all the
grass clipping.
Not all the grass, but I clean
out the underneath of it
periodically cause the grass was
wet.
Right 'cause with a, with a
battery powered lawn mower, you
lose the torque.
So after a while it starts
making a noise.
I know when it's getting full
and all caked, it's all caked up
in there.
Yeah, so, so yeah, every once in
a while I have to scrape the
grass out to make the batteries
last longer.
It'll still cut, just the
battery wears out faster.
Right.
Got it.
No, but Saturday we went and
spent the afternoon with mom, so
I didn't have the whole day to
do the the lawn.
Gotcha, so I split it up.
It's a 2 day process for you
now.
Yeah, I kind of like it that
way.
Fills the weekend more.
OK.
I feel like you need to be a
little more productive.
Why?
I don't know.
On the weekend.
You want me to drive around and
go places and chant?
Yes.
And get on TV?
Yeah.
Can you do?
I don't want a date night.
Come on.
Not my thing.
Nah, not yet.
Get on TV, but why not come
back?
I don't know man.
You're.
You're looking at TV, and why
not come?
Back.
You're breaking my balls about
things.
And now we got a Andy Elliott
book on your way.
Oh.
Well, borrowed it from you.
Yeah, Well, 'cause you asked me,
if you hadn't brought him up, I
would never even have followed
him.
And I told you, I told him some
of the stuff he said you're
supposed to do with your wife.
And she's not into it.
She's.
Not having it.
She's not having it.
Well, see, you gotta, you're
failing on the sales pitch.
You gotta work on that.
OK.
The sales pitch.
That's it.
That's it.
Yeah, sure.
So I had a very busy week.
And yes, yes, you're leaving the
Mega Rd.
For fuck sake.
Always.
I know, Jack.
I don't know what to tell you.
I don't know what to say.
I'm sorry, Jack.
That's just the way it goes.
We can't help but do anything
about it.
Somebody want to be a guest?
And I don't remember.
Always.
Not.
Not the one we talked about with
you.
There's somebody else.
It didn't happen today.
No, no, I know it didn't.
But there was somebody else.
I can't remember how it was.
That's OK.
Well, we can just kind of roll
in.
I feel like there was more I
wanted to talk about, but you
know what happened?
What?
So we're walking into the
stadium of Tampa Bay.
Yes, with no sleeves.
With no sleeves.
Right.
Yeah, very humid.
It's hot out here.
Yeah, very hot.
Very humid.
I got.
Good thing you had the hood
though.
I got nice tan lens good.
Thing you had the hood on.
And I said to Jack said, OK,
let's review.
Anybody fucking tells you that
you had to sit down?
You say look at my daddy.
I will handle it.
You do not comply to somebody
who is not an authoritative
figure to you.
OK.
I got it.
So shall.
Levi, the same thing.
Yeah.
OK, yeah, Levi, this applies to
you too.
Yeah, I go, OK, well, I actually
say, all right, boys, let's
review.
Derek as as well as you, Derek.
Was there another adult?
Yeah.
Oh, do we?
Do I know where?
I asked.
By every reason, yeah.
Oh, Derek.
Oh, and who is Derek?
Michael's dead.
Long story, but he went instead
of Michael.
I don't know.
You know Derek Ball head.
Yeah, you know Derek Skinny.
Oh yeah.
So.
So.
Your son Levi and his other guy
who didn't have a son there,
correct?
OK, just seemed a little weird,
but OK A.
Little strange.
Yeah, it was.
I'm not going to lie, it was a
little.
Strange filling the tickets it.
Was oh, I understand you filling
the seats right.
I got it, but it was a little.
Strange, Michael was the
original option and somehow he
flexed out and Derek came in.
Oh yeah, so he loves the stories
that you put up, by the way.
Which stories the real?
Mickey Stefan.
Cabbage ones.
Oh yeah.
Oh, does he 'cause they didn't
do one last week?
Yeah, he keeps me up to date.
Oh, 'cause no, I figure nobody
would.
Nobody's commenting the other
versions of the story.
People have commented and
things.
I got feedback, the people liked
it.
I hadn't heard anything once
from The Secret Agent 1, so I
sort of let it go last week.
Gotta keep it going.
Oh.
Apparently so.
Yeah, damn.
This can't be game.
This can't be Game of Thrones
all over again.
Man, we got to know how it ends,
OK?
Like it in suddenly, yeah, I can
do a couple of bad episodes and
then, oh, everybody's.
Dead.
And they're all dead.
And since you're not reading,
they're all dead.
You're not reading.
They're all gone.
So, you know, I, I say, hey, OK,
let's review.
Somebody says this da, da da,
you're going to handle this is
how we're going to.
GoDaddy, punch him in the nut.
And then I say, OK, where, where
do you want to sit?
Do you know, do you guys want to
be the left of us?
Do you want to be the right of
us?
And Jack said, well, depends on
who's next to me.
And I said OK, so.
And they sit in the middle.
No adult on either.
End No.
What happens is he likes to
generally stay to the left
because the bead people and the
T-shirts, they all come out of
that corner.
Ah, I gotcha.
OK.
So he likes to kind of do that.
Gotcha.
So we sit down and we're two
minutes into the game, right?
And I hear a guy and he says no,
no.
He says, excuse me, He's very
polite.
He says, excuse me, do you mind
sitting down for the game?
And I turn around and said, I'm
sorry, 'cause he talks, he's
talking to Jax.
I said, I'm sorry.
He's going to stand the whole
game.
He's going to stand the whole
game.
I highly recommend that when you
know something's going on or
whatever, you stand up and you
get excited too, like partake in
the in the sport, right?
And he's like, he said something
to me that he's like, well, you
know, it doesn't seem right.
I go, it absolutely is right.
We are in a sporting event where
you're going to stand.
He's going to stand probably the
whole time and he goes, well,
you know, I guess you're not
raising him right or something
like that.
Jeez, you were in a fight, no?
So.
Well, I guess not going to fight
when you hit him, he falls down,
No.
So he.
Was called a knockout.
I mean, he was a bigger guy too.
I mean, he was in shape.
It would have been interesting.
Oh, he could have took it.
He's not going to take me.
He.
Would have been interesting.
But here's what I'm going to
tell.
You jacks have a cell phone
still?
Why would I escalate it further
at that point?
I don't know, right?
Self-defense.
That's what we're looking for.
There's no purpose.
What's the purpose of escalating
it at that point?
Yeah, there's no.
Purpose.
Here's the goal.
The goal is he's going to do it.
He's going to stand up, right?
And there's nothing you can do
about that, right?
So sorry, He's going to stand
up.
You could say what the fuck you
want to say.
What if you would have got an
usher?
Do they have those there?
The usher would have said OK.
Wait, wouldn't it look, I can't
see this kid standing up.
I asked nicely.
And he wants.
Hey, do you mind sitting down?
Yeah, he's not going to sit
down.
OK, No, he's not going to sit
down.
Meanwhile, you got people on the
on the field coming up to you
going get up, get up.
They they want you up yelling
and screaming and all these
other things.
Right?
Gotcha.
So, you know, I'm thinking and
I'm like, OK, well, you know,
objective met.
I've already explained myself to
the gentleman.
Yep, Jax.
Balls in his cart.
Jax already knows.
You sit like this the whole time
looking over your shoulder.
No, Jax continues to.
No, he doesn't do that.
I'm not sweating it.
Touch me, he died.
I'm, I'm not, I'm not sweating
it.
I'm like, you know?
Did you take a giant blow up
ball to the back of the head?
No.
No, no blow up ball.
No blow up ball.
Oh, sorry buddy, you're sitting
down and we went over your head.
But OK, so here's what I'm
telling you.
Here's what what's remarkable to
me is like that guy made the
comment of, you know, well,
you're not raising him right.
And I'm thinking to myself, I,
you know what?
No, you're wrong.
I'm actually am raising him
right because who the fuck are
you to talk to an 11 year old
that you have no idea who he is
and you're going to tell him
what to do?
Well, you said this.
No, he's thinking this
incentive.
OK.
It was, it was Ian.
It was Ian at you a little.
Bit I'm like, well, I just, I
like to review.
I, I like to, you know, analyze
and see what people say to me.
I respect what everybody has to
say to me, right?
Sure.
So I'm like, OK, no, that's not
true.
I'm raising him correct?
I am raising him correct.
You no idea who you are.
You are in a commander's suit.
Commander's shirt.
Obviously he picked lot wrong
life choices.
You were gonna be here.
Commander was the other team
you.
Yeah, you were gonna be.
Here dressed up like a spaceman.
I don't know these things.
His Buzz Lightyear, right?
He's just a Buzz Lightyear
commander, dude.
You were gonna be here for this
one game.
We are here all the time, yeah.
Jerky, you said on the visitor
side.
Yeah, you probably got the
discounted seats.
I paid for the top dollars.
I I pay, I'm in the.
Front row asshole I.
Pay annual leave for these.
And no, you're not you.
You're definitely the one that's
in the wrong here.
You don't talk to a kid and tell
a ask a kid to comply to you and
expect for that kid to comply,
right?
The right approach would have
been hey man, do you mind if
your kid sits down?
You still would have said no,
and I said.
Hey, thank you so much for
asking me.
He's going to stay in the whole
game.
Palmer.
He's right.
I still I still would have said
no.
It doesn't matter who the guy
is, but it.
Still would have it.
Still would have been the right
way, the right thing to do,
right?
So the game goes by and it's a
blowout.
It was nice to be there when the
bucks are just crashing.
I'm like, Oh yes, this is
awesome.
No stress.
Yeah, there are some.
There are some drunk commanders.
Like there's one drunk commander
fan like he.
Called the commanders.
He runs all the way down picture
like Captain Kirk is there like.
That's her name, the Commander.
I understand that, but that's
the 1A picture.
He wobbles his way all the way
down the stairs and he yells
something at the punter or
something like hey, you can suck
Robles A.
Transporter and get the fuck out
of here.
He kind of wobbles his way back
up.
I'm like, Oh my God, like you
guys are out of control.
Yeah, they're, they're falling
apart.
So, so at the so at the end,
yeah, they're just holding on
like they're thinking if we get
seven wins, this, yeah.
Please go we'll.
Be happy.
Maybe first pick will be.
Where are they even from?
I'm not even familiar with the.
Washington.
Washington.
Oh, they changed.
Just used to be the Redskins.
Yes.
I didn't know the change of the
commander.
Yeah.
And.
Then they behind the Washington
Football Team, and now, yeah.
I know you should be watching
football team.
Yeah, so if they're taking the
Indian off the helmet too.
He's gone.
It's just AW.
Oh, for Washington, it's like
deal spell commander.
They're in shambles.
They're in shambles.
Oh, barely.
They have no identity now.
But it's not Washington state,
right?
No, it's DC.
No, it's DC.
Yeah, it's DC, which is funny to
me too, because there has been
like state, they have sold stuff
outside of the stadium with AW
with the state on it, right?
They they're just a complete
mess.
Well, they get him in China.
They don't.
Know so I see the guy at the
end.
The guy.
That's in behind.
Yeah, at the end and I said,
hey, man, I'm really sorry.
I just, you know, I gave him a
little depth and I said I'm
sorry.
Oh, sorry they lost, or sorry
your kid stood up.
Sorry about my kid.
He's going to stand the whole
time.
He's going to stand the whole
game.
Well, that was nice of you.
And the guy says, but I was
really polite.
I go.
You were really polite.
I appreciate you said the thing.
I appreciate you being polite.
It doesn't.
Just because you're polite
doesn't mean I'm going to
comply, right?
You know you stand a better
chance, but it doesn't.
It doesn't mean I'm going to
comply.
Yeah, you at least get to the
50%, but it's.
Like wow, that was.
About 4950.
That was really nice of you.
Yeah, he's going to.
Stand right.
So it went well, Yeah, Bear, you
want to know who I'm proud of
the most, though?
Derek.
Levi No, I'm proud of Jax.
He didn't sit.
He didn't bat a fucking eye,
man.
I feel like there's a story
about this about a bus.
What?
How did Derek take it?
Was Derek getting ready?
Like, OK, we're gonna fight.
We're gonna.
I'm ready.
Let's go.
I'm ready.
I'm in.
Not let's go.
Yeah, I think more often than
not.
He'd bring the karate guy with.
You he'd probably be OK with it.
Hey, we're playing, yeah.
Wouldn't even see that ninja
start coming.
I'm going to take this foot and.
Join the lift.
Study Where'd that guy go?
Where'd that go from?
I don't, you know, I, I like my
friends, but at the end of the
day, I don't count on them to
step in.
I don't think that it would
happen.
I just believe that I just just,
I have a karate Bob, no Karate
Bob, all of them.
I have to.
I'm not going into a situation
that could arise in conflict
thinking all right, well, they
got my bag.
I'm good.
I don't.
I don't.
I'm a.
Little bravery when you guys are
going to do I don't.
Count on that.
I I don't blame.
I don't blame you for counting
on me, Right?
I don't blame you for counting
on me at all.
You know, I just wouldn't do it.
I wouldn't say.
All right, Well, Palmer's got
me.
You know, like this guy.
I would, though.
You would get me.
Yeah.
So I don't.
Know.
Oh, whatever, you know I'd come
in with the old poop.
And my music is playing.
You guys want sound with that?
So yeah, I mean, so Jax.
So Jax could have easily still
like Dad.
It's OK, I'm just going to sit
down, right?
Nope, no, you're just standing.
Lock your nose back.
Utilize your knees.
I don't care if you have to pee,
you're not leaving.
Yeah, you're peeing right here.
And pee right there.
But I will never, my legs hurt,
stand up.
But look, I will never leave him
or Levi in a compromised
position either.
So like, there was your
children, I was going to go get
water for him.
Like, you know.
Oh, you can't leave back there
sitting down.
I would have laughed as long as
Derek was there, right?
Right.
As long as there's another adult
there and I would have broken it
down for him.
Same thing.
Let's review these guys.
Say anything?
Listen, Derek, say anything over
here, you just tell him I'll be
right.
Back, you know, you just let Jax
know that hey, you stay in, you
go ahead.
Right.
So I'm going to leave and
Derek's like, oh, I'll go with
you.
I need to get something anyway.
So I'm like, OK, well, we both
can't.
Go.
We can't go at the same time.
Yeah, we can't go to the
bathroom together, Derek.
You know how this works.
I've already intimidated these
guys behind us.
What if it's just to stay?
You're going to pee here, I'm
leaving.
I'm like, I'm not.
I'm not going to tell somebody
that we're not going to comply
and then leave my kids
unattended.
Nope, you're not doing it.
Come back, kids are gone.
Somebody push them out there on
the field.
They would love that on the
field.
Run around my.
God, they would love that.
Look at me, you want TV?
Yeah.
So that's pretty good.
This is a good.
Game how the show's over.

of how important is not to give
people titles.
That's a good point.
So he will have No title.
I don't know, I feel like
title's kind of.
Important is John Carney.
That's.
How it's always been.
You always have to have a title.

pole over in the corner.

Are we pausing?
No, Pause.
We're pausing.
Hold on.
Let me comment on this.
Hold on.
Well, I can read the story while
you, you know, texting.
John, because I want to talk
about the previous one.
Oh, he's Bluetooth in somebody.
I've been trying to reach you
regarding the warranty.
Oh yes, on your lubricant, Yes,
it's expired.
You know, I don't know if like I
would look in the realm of kind
of developing a brand and be
like, oh, you're the Cremo guy.
Well, he's been a JRE for four
years and they promote as
territory manager.
I don't know if you heard that
earlier.
In the story, I didn't read
that.
So before that though, he was a
Cremo.
Cremo Yeah, keep saying it.
I I'm still.
I'm still.
I've never heard of Cremo, have
you heard of?
Cremo No, I haven't.
That's my point.
Well, I mean.
Even JRE is a little, I kind of
heard of it, but I don't think
I, you know, if you handed me
one, if you went that's a Cremo
cigar, I went or JRE cigar.
What's a JRE?
I I don't know that either.
Isn't that wrist day?
Is it?
I don't know, Yeah.
I don't know.
No, that's just some Pearl.
I don't fucking know.
See we.
Don't they don't know?
I don't know what Cremo cigars
are either, but you know.
Somebody's gonna fucking light
us up.
Yeah, you.
Know, you know, skip, Jack, all
these people at Dallas every
week.
Howard's Three Mile Cigars, you
fucking complete morons there.
Oh.
There's stories about cigars
I've never heard.
Of 700 accounts, they're
crushing and they're dominating
the industry.
I'm like, OK, all right, cool.
I did you well.
The next Miami, the next stories
about Universal Dominican
facility.
I didn't know Universal Studios
had a facility in Dominican
Republic.
Universal Studios has a
facility.
Yeah, they had a big fire.
Universal, Dominican facility.
Universal.
That's what it says.
Really.
Let's go at 6:00 AM last Monday
morning.
Not today.
Last week.
Yeah, a fire broke out in
Interbeck.
I can't.
KAUBECK Cowbeck, SRL Universals
Corporate Leafs.
One more time.
Cowbeck.
Say it, say it, spell it.
Cowbeck.
Spell it Cowbeck.
That's not let's say it, spell
it.
KOWBECK, Cowbeck.
Co.
Actually it's CAU which is.
It could still could be.
Co.
I'm sticking with Co OK.

Just BECK.
There's no W.
There's no.
There's no W.
It's just Cowbeck.
COW said.
No K because I was Cowbeck.
I was spelling Cowbeck
phonetically.
So it's what is it?
KAU.
It's KAUBEC KB ACK.
BECKE as in extra.
Cow.
It's.
Keowbeck I'm glad it's only
mentioned once.
Wow.
You know, it's in their leaf
sorting and sales facility and
the Dominican Republic.
So it's not Universal Studios,
it's.
Universal.
It was at that factory, but it's
part of the Universal umbrella.
Oh really?
Yes.
Interesting.
Universal is not a cigar
company, rather it's a multi
faceted multinational tobacco
and entertainment supplier that
grows tobacco and runs parks all
over the world.
Corbin, Dallas.
It does things like processing
and sorting for a long list of
clients that likely include
nearly every major cigar company
in the.
World.
I don't know.
I believe you.
Why?
I'm reading it right here off
the iPad.
This doesn't sound right.
Is this the one that Ventura
posted?
No, no and a letter sent to
clients Universal obtained by
Cigars podcast Philip
Schumacher, managing director
for Enter to back Cowbeck said
that there was a material loss
of yeah, loss of tobacco and one
part of the warehouse affected.
The letter says that the staff
was not on site at the time of
the fire and there was no loss
of lives.
There was not listening.
You want.
To know how I know there's a
recession.
All these factors are Catching
Fire.
Oh.
Yeah, we have two more.
Yeah, two more fires.
We're not, we're not moving at
the rate we need to move makers.
Terrence.
What's going on, buddy?
Light things up, Terrence.
Insurance.
Okay, also.
I didn't say that used to, Phil
said that.
Is that is that Bentley the guy
that owns?
No, that's they're in Germany A.
Totally different Bentley, Yeah.
It's not even the same.
Talking about the Schusters, the
shoes.
Shoes, not Shoemaker.
Not Schumacher.
I know who Cremo is.
She put that on the.
Who Cremo is, We're not putting
anything on the screen.
No, no, you don't have to put it
on the screen.
What is going to blow your mind
though?
OK, what's your Cremo fan?
You're big no.
They were established.
He loves when things Cremo.
Yeah, they were established in
1896.
Cremo Cremo and creaming people
the.
Original Cremo Cigar was an icon
of the early America and the
most successful top selling
cigar brand of the early 20th
century.
But what have you done for me
lately?
Apparently they're not well
known now.
Yeah.
They were.
It was booming through
Manhattan, NY by George
Washington Hill.
OK, so when George?
Washington Hill.
Was he an assassin?
Oh, he has middle.
Name.
He has three names.
Oh, I'm starting to see a
pattern here coming out of the
Cremo crowd.
So what?
So what year did they what?
What year was they peaked?
2020 when?
No.
So that's where I'm trying.
That's where I'm trying to go.
You're gonna fuck up my joke.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Oh, I'm not going with that
joke.
So no, when did they, when did
they develop?
When when they were peaked in
like the 1900s?
The early 20th century.
OK, so that.
'D be 2000, right?
No, no, no. 20/20 was when he
very wrong when he became
territory manager.
OK, so it's.
Right before that 19 in the
1900s.
It's it's, it's safe to say that
Trey McDaniels over here.
Trey.
Shipley.
Trey Shipley, McCoy, whatever
the fuck.
Trey Mack didn't.
He didn't.
He used to be.
He was a rapper before that.
He didn't help traject it into
the apparently.
Not once he left.
It sort of just went downhill.
It felt even worse, right?
So he was just legitimately.
He left when the ship was
sinking.
You know what?
I'm out of here.
There's nothing wrong with that.
I totally agree with that, Trey.
Sure.
You go ahead and you bail,
right?
This isn't working and you're
not paying me enough.
I got to go.
Exactly.
It's not my problem.
All right, Universals.
George C Freeman the Third.
He's retiring.
There's a fire.
Then he announces his
retirement.
I think you need to step down
buddy.
Seems maybe, let's read out.
Maybe he's in charge of fire
safety.
There's a bit of a conspiracy.
George Freeman, the long time
head of Universalist Corpse fire
safety, is retired from the
tobacco giant later this year.
Oh, you read that before?
Read that before.
I don't pre read these.
On October 1st, Freeman would
leave his various roles which
include CEO, President,
Chairman, and Fire Marshall.
Oh, you're out of Universal?
You had one job.
Sorry.
Don't let the buildings burn
down.
He was everything he wasn't.
The Roller as CEO since April
2008, president since December
2006 and has been chairman and
fire safety commissioner since
2018.
Look, I don't mean to nitpick
2008, look, but listen, 2008,
there was a recession.
So that guy got fired when the
last fire happened and he came
in, there's been no issue all of
a sudden recession fire.
Yeah.
He will transition to serving
questions Vice Chair through the
end of 2024 and we'll be Senior
Advisor until March 31st, 2025,
the end of Universal's fiscal
year.
There it is.
And when the next fire will
happen?
No, they did their recession.
They got the new guy, yeah.
Let's see.
Replacing Freeman is Preston D
Wigner.
Yeah, not Wagner Wigner.
WIGNER, Wigner.
Middle name the former.
Universal's fire safety school
for more than two decades,
serving in roles such as
secretary, general counsel, vice
president, and currently senior
vice president in charge of
things that won't burn.
On October 1st, he will take
over all three of Freeman's
previous roles, CEO, president
and Fire Chief.
Like, Oh no, no, it's terrible.
It is a privilege to be named
chairman, president and Fire
Chief of Universal at this
exciting time in the company's
100 plus years history of
burning tobacco.
I am energizing.
Buildings the.
Opportunity to lead our
incredible organization and
advance our growth strategy by
optimizing our leading tobacco
business and expanding our
ingredients.
Ingredients, they're running out
of ingredients, they're burning
them.
I don't know if that works
right.
Our future success will be built
on the foundation and work of
the ashes that we will rise
from, as now we're.
Enjoying that we will rise from
the ashes.
I had a damn part.
Data.
Oh, he didn't hear that.
They haven't.
Said anything?
Really, it's not really a thing.
Oh, no, no, it's really a thing.
Yeah.
Universal Corporations publicly
traded company with a focus eye
in tobacco growing and fires.
The company's Universal Leaf
division has operations in more
than 30 countries that allow
things to burn.
Yeah, Universal doesn't have any
of this.
I'm reading right here.
Yeah, you're full of crap.
This is not Universal Studios,
Michael.
It's a different universe.
I tied them together because you
go to Universal.
No, you're lying.
I know you.
No, no, really.
Universal Corp is publicly
traded.
No, it's really it's a tobacco.
I don't.
Believe you.
OK, whatever.
I got a lot.
That's two whole stories I had
to write, Michael just to.
Universal Corp fire.
Go ahead.
OK, go ahead.
Keep telling on your time.
Universal Dominican facility
fire do that, no.
Keep going, Paul.
Keep real.
All right, we got another fire.
Agonorsa leaf suffrage fire at
tobacco process.
It's actually a thing, you know.
There you go.
Thank you very much.
But it doesn't say anything
about it being related to
Universal Studios.
No, it's not.
I added that for a comedy
portion of the show.
It wasn't funny.
You were laughing.
You don't talk about Universal,
You don't talk about Universal
Studios.
Talk about Universal Studios,
like we'll get a season, we'll
get our first season.
It's my happy place.
So agonosis burnt up.
Yeah, Agonosis had a fire.
Agonosis also burned up.
Did you see that I commented on
Terrence?
No, I said.
Congratulations.
You're not much closer to being
a Fuente.
Oh that's nice.
Wow.
On Wednesday afternoon, a fire
broke out of facility used
Wagner's relief for its pre
industry tobacco presence.
I like how he said, don't worry,
we still have a lot of tobacco.
It's fine.
I mean, they have all the
tobacco.
Well, they have all.
They have a.
Lot of it's burned up some of it
now.
You know, I gotta be honest.
Saying too much.
I gotta be honest.
It's like taking a chair out of
Yankee Stadium when it comes to
Agonorson.
They're going to be fine.
This generally involves sorting
tobacco.
Edward comes out of the curing
barns and fermenting the leaves
before they are packed for aging
and eventually rolled into a
cigar after being moved to a
factory.
On Wednesday evening, Terence
Riley, VP of sales and marketing
for Regular Relief, told CHP
that the fire occurred at a
facility in La Baranca BARRANCA.
BA what?
RRANC.
A I can't, no, I need to say it.
I can't roll my arm.
Try it.
There you go.
Much better.
And I like how Yes, yes, that's
the which.

the way along the Pan American
highway.
Can you call Cowboy?
What's his name?
Cowboy?
Cowboy.
It's been right off the
Panamera.
So we're.
Just going to agree.
Just agreed on this one.
Riley did not yet have specifics
as to what was in the facility.
It was tobacco.
Yeah.
How was that the complicated
tent?
And maybe one or two dead
hookers.
That's why they don't talk
about.
That's why they had to burn it,
because they gotta get rid of
they're gonna find them.
What do we do with these bodies?
How do we ignite it?
You know, towards the building.
How do we ignite it towards the
building?
Put some fuming stuff in there
and they say the.
Tobacco just burns.
Throw them in the Pallone.
Set the whole thing on.
Fire tie them up with the blue
strings.
I don't know which one they're.
In there will be nothing.
Hey, you get in there and rub
your hands together real quick,
real fast.
Video from the scene shows bales
of tobacco being thrown into the
fire by Terran trolley with No,
no, that's how it is, says video
from the scene shows bales of
Taco being carried out of.
I read that backwards with an
eyewitness saying about 20 bales
had been saved, but not the ones
with the blue strings.
Save the fire, not the one with
the blue strings.
Nope, no.
No blue string.
Leave that in it's.
Got an arm in it?
A video posted to Facebook by
Radio ABC Stereo shows what
appears to be a fairly large man
in tan pants standing outside
the flame.
In khakis, flexing.
Multiple reports indicated that
the local army was called to
help fight the blaze alongside
SLE Fire Department and their
chief giraffe.
Let's see, that's Terrence.
That's Terrence, right?
See an update for September 5th.
Riley provided the following
statement to Cigars for Podcast.
Yesterday one of our brain
industries caught fire.
Well, I I haven't read this yet.

this is a great loss, we are
fortunate to have other
facilities with a lot more
tobacco, so we don't really
care.

Burglary suspect arrested in
Paisley after asking a deputy to
test his meth.
You have to hear this story.
It seems logical.
I get it.
He wanted to know it was real.
Wait, he bought it before you?
Go.
No, no, he stole it.
No, Yeah, OK.
That's even robbery.
That's even better.
I love that.
So he stole it and then he
wanted to verify.
Yes.
Yeah.
Wait so I hear you have a test
kit in your vehicle, is that
true?
Possible for you to check?
This.
Well, yes, I do.
Well, I haven't done anything
wrong.
Well, I haven't done anything

Could you test this and see what
it is you?
Need to hear the details on the
story.
I love that because you know,
the cops, like, you're not going
to fucking believe this.
Yeah, everybody, everybody, get
over here.
And get over here, I have a
story.
A man accused of burglarizing at
home in Paisley last month was
arrested after presenting a
deputy with a bag of meth and
asking him to test it, according
to the Lake County Sheriff's
Office.
The deputy was patrolling around
noon.
It wasn't even at night.
He was in the middle of the day
August 27th on Hwy. 42 when he
was flagged down by the victims
of an alleged burglary, the
Sheriff's Office said On social
media.
One of the victims described the
suspect, identified as Timothy
Gunther, 34, and pointed in his
direction further up the rock.
See, not an.
Assassin.
That guy over there, he looks
just like him.
He stole, he stole money from,
he stole stuff from our house.
He took it, but he's not an
assassin.
Let's see.
After catching up to Gunter, the
deputy said the suspect.
Gunther now not Gunther.
Gunther.
Because you said Gunther before.
I just want to know who we're
doing potato, potato.
I feel like they're catching up
to Timothy, the deputy said the
suspect.
The suspect spontaneously
uttered that he had received
some bad narcotics and presented
a plastic bag he filled with a
clear crystal like substance,
according to the Sheriff's
Office.
Right.
Timothy then told the deputy
that something was wrong with
the substance and requested that
it be tested, the Post states,
adding he otherwise allegedly
admitted to entering the
victim's residence because he
heard dogs barking inside.
These dogs barking went inside.
I found this stuff.
Damn, that's like bad meth.
Can you test this for me?
Trying to let them out.
The substance was tested, after
all, producing a presumptive
positive result for
methamphetamines.
So at least it was it did have
something.
Yes, it was.
It wasn't just, you know, it was
good stuff.
Yeah, it was stopping.
On the street.
You know Sir, if you didn't rob
this house I would have let you
go after I tested this meth.
Was it the blue meth?
No, he said.
It was crystal.
It was clear.
It was crystal clear.
Yeah, it's not the same as the
blue.
No, not the blue Blues.
That's where the zombies came
from.
Is that where the zombies came
from?
You haven't heard that
connection?
No.
Yeah.
Daryl Dixon and his brother when
they were first introduced to
the show, Right.
They have a bag of blue meth.
Makes sense.
Yes.
And I think the brother is
living in the RV.
If I'm not mistaken.
Timothy was booked at the Lake
County Jail to face the charges
of years.
Yeah, I know it's been a long
time.
Jail to face charges of criminal
mischief with damages to
property and less than $200
possession of a controlled
substance.
So what?
In a bunch?
Oh, excuse me.
Still a felony.

No, probably not, but be a lot

I don't know what that goes for.
Transgeeber says what's what
size of the bag doesn't say,
