He probably had the entire day.

Oh, you know who else was there?

The People's Choice Award for

the best Chili Steve Hernandez.

He won the People's Choice.

He was really, you know, if they

didn't pick him, he was going to

burn that whole fucking place

down, the excitement.

Yes.

Oh, I'm sure.

So Chet's talking about the

level of excitement that that

what's his name?

Jay of Industry Industry had for

Jason.

Taylor, we talk about boots.

Boots, Boots Industry I.

Don't want to screw it?

Up.

No, no, no.

Don't confuse Phil with boots

and industry.

So you know, boots geeks out

when it comes to athletes,

especially dolphins.

Yes, well, he's been trying to

meet Jason Taylor for like 2

years.

Now, yes, we've been trying to

facilitate this and we have

failed miserably time after

time.

Yes, always been some reason he

couldn't go.

And we finally made it work.

It did.

Did you did he have the It's

hard to ask questions.

Did he have the the jersey with

him or did he scurry off to the

car and get it?

Or did he carry around all day

long until he saw him?

I brought all that.

I know, but did you carry it

around?

No, I.

Carry it around with you?

No, I left it in the truck And

then.

I was very.

I was very nice about this whole

situation.

Yeah, because I met him when he

first walked in.

You mean he was not you?

Well, yeah, but both because I

didn't want to, like, put him

out in front of everybody, like,

oh, sign all my stuff.

Filled, not filled boots.

Did not want to put them out.

Yeah boots.

You guys talking the third?

Boots didn't want to put them

out, yeah, but I didn't want to

put them out for everybody.

So once the chili cook off was

almost done.

You follow into the bath.

Boots.

No.

Boots then asked.

Excuse me?

Then ask Danny, like, hey, hey,

Danny, is there a way I can get

this done?

You know, maybe we could do it

in the prior lounge or whatever.

And he was like, no, we're going

to do it right here.

He's my friend.

Yeah, He'll do whatever I say.

I'm like, oh, OK.

Yeah, man, they're tight.

He's only a partial shareholder

of the place here.

I'm his boss.

So that after they did the award

ceremony, then he was coming

back towards us and Daniel asked

him for me and he signed it.

There you go.

Nice.

There you go.

I'm glad Boots enjoyed.

That so, yeah.

And then, you know, when and

Chet was out there, we chat with

subbing.

He's putting in his work.

Yes.

Spreading through the Switch

now.

Spreading the post Anya, you

want?

To put him on the camera now or?

No, we're not, he said.

We're.

Not doing that, We're not doing.

That OK, but we did.

This is a parlay as well.

So not only did you guys go down

there for to to make boots his

titties happy, right.

Right.

You also got to speak the gospel

of Post Anya and you had a

pickup of of something special

down in Miami.

Ohio, yeah.

I'm going to show it here for

the first time.

I'll put it on our social media

posts later, but we now have

look at that.

They're very nice.

Post Anya tins.

They're very nice.

So what are you?

Are you gonna like, just give

these things out firmly?

No, no, no.

So I have AI.

Have to have 7 box tops from the

from boxes and then you send

them in with all the Upcs from

the cigars.

Well, so you gave a couple out

of the the event.

Yeah.

And you left some for Daniel and

the store, which is cool,

fantastic, I think.

Here's my game plan.

Here's what I'm thinking is I

would like to build a Facebook

group solely for Postanya and

what we'll do is for the first

few members that enter, we will

randomly select ten of them and

give them away to 10 of them.

Just for just for joining, just

for joining the.

Original 10.

Not the original 10, but like,

let's say you know, you get a

few 100 people and we'll.

Do a drawing.

Yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll, we

will give away the goods.

Or maybe, maybe Patreon members.

Maybe.

Like, let's not.

No, no.

Stop messing with them.

We haven't fixed it.

Yeah, let's, let's mess it up.

We.

Haven't fixed it.

OK, there's a lot going on here.

Yeah, I mean is.

Is there already a post on you?

No, there is not a post on your

Facebook group.

Oh, he has tied my hands for a

while.

It wouldn't let me do it.

Call it Mikey's post on your

people.

I was thinking like we are post

Anya or something like that.

Oh, then we can play it.

We are the world like that.

We are the world.

Oh, stop.

Yeah, that.

Don't worry.

That's it.

That's.

Like flagged.

Flag shut it down.

I knew Enter Music got flagged.

It did.

But then there was a second

coming like, oh, we're sorry,

you have used to use that on

face on YouTube.

Oh yeah, you're.

Right.

I do shut up.

It was original music.

Yes, but it's original free

music.

We have a website where we get

all our music and sound effects

and video clips, and she was on

that.

Gotcha.

Wasn't there a show that just

got banned from YouTube?

Somebody did.

Yeah, yeah.

I forget who it was.

They're getting tapped left and

right, man.

Yeah, I.

Think it's crazy?

Oh, the cigar guys got some

taken down, did they?

Because they said theirs were

child friendly.

It's.

Not child, you're not.

You're not child friendly.

They thought that would help

them with their algorithms.

Well, there's one that just got

shut down for I think Jeff

Borchowitz was on it actually

from.

Korea.

Well, I probably got shut.

Down and they said that they

were trying to sell cigars.

Sorry to hear that.

Oh, well, they have to do cigar

commercials.

Well, that's unfortunate.

That's why we are sponsor free.

Yes.

Hold on, let me read it again.

No, it's OK.

So, so how was your weekend?

No, nothing.

We didn't do.

Just regular stuff.

He did nothing.

No yard work on Saturday,

Sunday.

Saturday night.

Oh, where'd you go?

Where did we go?

Where did we go?

We went somewhere.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

We had wings, so we went to

O'leary's over in Deberry.

If you wait too late on a

Saturday night, everybody's

busy.

Yeah.

So it's true.

And we hit a couple and we're

like we.

Don't want to wait so many.

I tried my wife's mask on

Sunday.

Yeah, I don't like the mask.

You.

Don't like the mask?

Is she still using the mask?

Yeah, but it's set up for her.

So I can't, there's not elastic

straps there, Velcro thing.

So I can't adjust it till I kind

of have to.

Yeah, I have to hold it and then

that's a thing.

Yeah, so I did, but I did red

light this morning.

OK.

And for you, well.

Are you coaching any more teams

or?

We oh, he has a big

announcement.

baby.

Yeah.

Good.

Thing we got that pre Baby show

out last week.

Congratulations.

Fastest.

Pregnancy.

Ever.

Right.

Two weeks, Who knows?

And Baby Boom.

So it looks so weird to see her

and her baby pictures because

two weeks ago I saw her at a

bar.

I mean, she wasn't drinking,

but.

You know.

Two weeks ago I'm at a birthday

party with her hanging out.

And now, Oh no, go ahead, baby.

And now, boom, instant family,

right?

Here we go.

You get the.

Whole baggage.

Now we are three.

I think that was cute.

Does the label for.

Her And then there was three And

then?

You guys got to go to the

hospital.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, it all happened Friday, of

course, the the night of the day

of Catholic schools, yada yada

was going on.

Oh.

That's right, it was dress up

week.

So, Brittany, Brittany

volunteered for the jump for

Jesus thing that they do.

Jump for Jesus.

Yes, but she couldn't stay.

Oh, oh.

So I was.

He skipped for Jesus.

So.

So she was there for

temporarily.

And then I came in.

Oh, you subbed.

In.

And then she went into the

hospital.

Oh.

Nice.

And then I went to the hospital.

Afterwards, I think after you

jumped.

After I jump for Jesus.

Oh, that's nice.

How many jumps did you?

Do I didn't jump at all.

I I maintained the the jump

rope.

So you did the.

Helicopter.

I spun the helicopter for the

kids.

Maintained for Jesus, yeah.

It was fun though, because, you

know, coaching dad came out and

I said, hey, listen, we're going

to go on three, like you guys

are second graders, right?

I'm like, yeah.

Yeah, second graders.

Right.

So we can all count to three,

right?

Yeah, count.

To three.

Because some of them would just

run in.

One Oh, yeah.

So the teacher says you're.

Going down.

So you spin the rope this way.

And then they jump in and we all

they all just try and survive,

right?

Oh.

Yeah, so the teachers, but the.

Rope has that little bend in it.

When you're the what the rope

has a bend.

Does it have a bend in when

you're doing it tightly?

If you keep the momentum up.

Right, it has.

It has the little Bender.

I'm just trying to picture what

the kids were doing and.

They they all get in the circle

of.

The head.

If they can't jump, they get

whacked in the side of the head.

No, they get no, it's down on

the ground.

Well, you go, well, fast when

you know, like Johnny other

night, you know the.

Teachers like hey, you know.

Johnny fell down too LED Too

bad.

That's a big Welt on the side of

his face from falling down.

Now he didn't count to three, he

only went to two.

So the very passionate about the

counting.

Yeah, very passionate.

Go ahead.

So never mind, I'm moving on.

So it was a good time and then

we had we had the football.

A couple couple complications.

Company that went you in and

that bed.

We got it out.

We got to move the table.

Hey, you got 24 hours.

They they originally had

intentions of getting her out

and but they had some they did

have some irregularities.

I wanted to make sure that

things were OK Good.

So things are fine.

Yeah.

So.

But we nothing.

Like Mad Hunt.

That's good.

yeah.

It's just.

It he goes to show you I.

Yeah, that's all bullshit.

And he's got a hair too.

So all that special vitamin for

hair, nails look.

No heartburn or anything.

Yeah.

Wow.

Look, when you were born, your

fucking mom was drinking plenty.

You know what I'm saying?

Well.

She's never been a drinker, but

yeah, she's not working in the

field.

So you had me and then right

there was.

There was no fuck you know what

I mean.

If she was a cigarette smoker,

she was fucking hitting.

She was hitting the fucking

cigarettes.

Running from the Indians when

they attacked the one day.

And you turned out just fine.

John Smith came to it, came to

town.

John Smith came and then took

him to the New World.

You know, it's not like.

Dinosaurs running everywhere.

Oh my God.

Now, you know, obviously there's

some extremities here.

Crack.

You're probably going to fucking

have a problem with the baby,

right?

You know, it's like heavy drugs.

The faces that Chuck are making

right now is fucking hilarious.

Probably, you know?

But realistically, listen, you

had a few drinks or whatever.

Or you know what?

Cigarettes.

It's not the.

Fucking end of the world.

It's.

Not the fucking.

End of the world.

Bill's character.

We have a whole society that

survived up that.

Sure, yeah.

So whatever.

No seatbelts.

Nice little nappy as you drive

into grandma's house.

The good old.

Days He slams on the brakes when

he gets there.

Hey, we're here.

You wake up at the floor behind

the seat.

I remember when we went to

Naples and stuff, it was like a

two or three hour drive.

We had a caravan so they would

remove the middle seat and they

would put like.

Blankets and stuff down to the

floor.

They lay there, rest, whatever.

It's all good.

toys, yeah.

What was the outcome today?

Couple dubs, baby.

Oh, good.

So yeah.

Finally, after last week's

debacle.

First came with, yeah.

We're very disappointed made

this point.

Well, my 12 team, the team that

I, I head coached just as his

team, They did great.

We were up big and so we got to

spread the ball a little bit

more.

We got to test kids out.

Some kids did OK, Some kids, you

know.

What's so much?

More to work on there, you know.

Back on the bench, Bobby oh.

You know, it's funny.

It's fun for me because when

when things go sideways and

like, they melt.

Like just like somebody else.

I'm like get off the.

Field, you know, hey, I don't

have my gloves.

All right, then.

I don't know.

Then why are you standing here?

Do you have a lot of a lot of

meltdowns?

No.

Oh, no.

Or it's like, hey, my mouthpiece

is dirty.

I'm like, OK, well clean it.

Well, I don't know.

I'm like, OK, Johnny, little

Johnny got off the field.

I need another kid.

With a clean mouth guard place.

Bring on your You know well what

happened.

You got to be ready.

Right.

You get ready to go.

Coach calls, You go.

And they're like, hey, so we go,

so, you know, we go.

So the 1-2 team, great, They

play great.

They play great on defense, they

play great on offense.

We can stuff we can work on

period, right.

The five, six team I got to head

coach this time.

Don't you Head coach?

The five?

Both.

Teams No.

I I coach with the 5-6.

He's close. #3 please Michael.

Thank you.

He's close.

I coach with the five.

Six.

Well, we were having a

conversation.

I didn't know you just wanted to

be solely.

On Well, you're about to tell

about your 5-6 thing.

I coach with the five six team.

I am not the head guy, so

there's a head offensive.

I thought you were the head

coach on both.

No.

And there's a head defensive

coordinator, defensive coach and

head offensive coach.

Oh, you're the defense on that

one?

And I help.

No, I help on offense.

Did you used to be the defense?

No.

Last season.

No.

Were you ever, like, I remember

you being a defensive coach on

something?

Maybe it's basketball.

No, you're probably confusing

his.

I was.

No, no, I was gonna ask him if

he was Jackson on the other.

No, you're right.

I was defensive coach on quite

over there.

Fell on Justice's team when they

were smaller.

Gotcha.

But now I run everything on

Justices.

Every years ago.

Was that what do you bring him

up?

A passport.

And Jax?

Jax is my defensive coach.

Yeah, yes.

On your Well, you're the head

coach, yeah.

Right, so.

And basketball?

You're that coach.

No, I I'm an assistant coach on

basketball.

He's also the time keeper

though.

What about pickleball?

Are you doing pickleball?

Can I tell my fucking story or

do you want to keep talking all?

Right.

No, no problem.

Just want to make sure because

this is like the third time that

I've tried to get some shit out

and both of you guys continue to

run me over.

Ask questions I.

Understand.

But I at least need to talk.

Can I talk?

I thought, I thought we were

going to talk about cows first

of all, when we were supposed to

talk about nothing about cows.

We gave that up.

We're moving on, Sarah.

No cows.

So the first half of Jax's game,

right We we our defense was a

little shaky.

OK.

We would get a touchdown day, We

get a touchdown.

We would get a touchdown day.

We get a touchdown.

Oh, high scoring game.

It was a very high scoring game

and we Jack's through an

interception.

It was a stupid play.

We'll fix it, we'll we'll work

on that, right?

So we wound up being down

touchdown or two at the half and

they were getting the ball.

OK.

So our kids are getting kind of

dumpy.

Yeah.

And I was like, hey man, don't

worry about it.

It's a dogfight.

We're in it.

We're going to stick it out.

Well, the offense continued to

drive.

We continue to make plays.

And on defense, we actually had

a couple stops.

So we wind up winning the

Friggin game.

Oh, nice.

By one touchdown.

That's all it takes you to one

point.

It was amazing.

We had a huge stop at the one

yard line.

Oh, nice.

The kids played out of their

minds, dude, did they?

Run it back from the one all the

way in eventually and score.

No.

When you get turned over and

downs you just start up a little

bit.

So it was it was amazing, man.

It was a great game.

I mean and and I'll tell you

what, it was hard play because I

had to make a Baldwin call

afterwards.

I had to get my doctor to to

take the.

Kids get injured.

Yeah, Jack got banged up.

There was a couple times where

these kids, they're playing

hard, right?

The other team, when things are

going sideways, they started to

kind of lower the shoulder a

little bit.

It was actually when I watched

the film, and it was actually

just one kid.

It was one kid in particular.

And did you talk to his dad

afterwards?

You beat his dad up.

No, no.

I mean, I like when when you're

in the thick of things, you can

see a couple plays, right?

And you're like, OK, that was

messed up.

That was messed up.

But you don't realize what.

They all look the same, right?

They're all in blue.

Shirts.

Yeah, the kids do.

Yeah, at the moment, right?

They're all in blue shirts.

It's like you don't know

exactly.

Hey, which one it is right?

So when But I went back and I

checked the film.

I saw the number because they

have numbers.

No, because I'm that psychopath.

Then which one it?

Was I recorded all the the games

I want to make the team better.

Insurance purposes.

I want to see where the mistakes

are made so that sounds and

things, so I can correct things

on defense and offense.

Certainly this.

And this one kid?

He didn't shake hands at the end

of the game, either.

So he can beat up his dead next

week.

Yes.

Next week, he beat up the

father.

Yep, at the PTA meeting.

At the pregame.

I will find you.

No, but you know what?

A guy, but I'm going to tell

you.

Probably goes to corona.

As a coach.

Don't say that word on our show.

Oh, probably goes.

The place with the crowns.

Then you are off the charts

today.

I'm going to, I'm going to hit

he's.

Still, he's still excited from

his celebrity weekend.

Unbelievable.

That's not him, though.

Well, I know, but you know, they

share a lot.

Oh yeah, jammed in with Detroit.

Could have used those children.

Detroit definitely could have

used them.

I don't know what happened with

Detroit.

All of a sudden they decided not

to catch balls, which is

ridiculous.

Oh.

So yeah, man, it was fantastic.

They played.

They played amazing.

There's a lot of stuff we can

work on.

Yeah, but they played great,

dude.

I'm really proud of the kids.

Everybody took the fields.

You know the kids that some of

the kids were a little confused

as to where they were.

The kids that are kind of newer

to the team, we'll work on that

and stuff like.

That oh where they were supposed

to stand.

Yeah, Where their positions,

where they're supposed to be,

you know, I.

Thought maybe they couldn't find

your team and they were running

around.

And then some of the older kids,

the kids that have been on the

team forever, right, We're

making some big mistakes.

We'll work on that.

We'll work on all of them.

But you can't fix that without

looking at the footage.

And I'm like.

Right.

That's why you.

That's why you tape everything.

I see what you're doing now.

No, I it's a good idea.

I'm sure nobody else does it.

Does your wife run the camera?

Who runs a camera?

Usually it's a sideline,

somebody, one of the kids so on.

One of the kids.

Yeah, so on Justices team, I

actually have a person helping

me.

It's one of the kids, older

brothers.

He loves doing it.

And I gotta tell you, Justices

footage is way better than Jax's

footage.

Because Jax, there's just the

kids are like, I'm going to play

with it And another thing,

right?

That's really when he's a kid.

That's what I'm picturing just.

Yeah.

And sometimes, sometimes I'll

see a glove get in the in the

way or or do.

You want to come in and be our

Phil?

I mean, he'd be a fantastic.

Phil, We should have him come

in, That'd be.

Funny.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I wonder if he, like, maybe, you

know, he's kind of young.

I don't think he likes cigars.

We have to wait till he's 20.

One.

Well, we don't give him a cigar.

Yeah, we give him a bubble gum.

Oh, perfect.

You can have a 10.

Do they still?

Make those.

I believe so.

I'm sure we can find some, you

know, retro candy store or

something that carries them, of

course.

Sure.

I'm sure they exist though.

I'm sure.

And then Saturday.

I don't know what happened

Saturday.

Oh.

The game was, oh, so that's was

Friday night?

Yeah, Saturday.

Oh, so you just stick around for

the baby long.

I thought the game was on

Saturday.

No, Saturday was baby stuff

again.

Right.

I feel like something else

happened Saturday.

Did they get the nursery?

Do they have an extra bedroom?

And where they live, do they?

No.

It's a one bedroom.

A1 bedroom So they're.

They're growing into it.

It's a process.

Maybe thing in the bedroom,

yeah, the only pictures has on a

car seat.

So I you know, I assume it was

better than car.

Seat that was where?

That's where.

That's where.

That's where Cooper's gonna be.

Oh, Cooper sleeps in the car

seat.

From now on, it's very safe.

But we don't let Cooper out of

the car seat.

It's just Oh yeah, except for.

Like, don't they get used to the

idea that they have a baby,

'cause it's still so new?

Yeah, right.

Makes sense, except for diaper

changes.

That's yeah.

You gonna change the diaper,

feed him and then put.

Know to feed him?

There's somebody explain that to

them?

Well, listen, if not, that baby

will let you know that he's

hungry.

Well, he's broken.

He's crying.

We have no idea what it is.

You know, I will say this.

You don't get to read that book.

What to expect?

What you're expecting?

I will, yeah.

I mean, they bought that book.

Did you get it?

Read Do you have time?

What should be expected to?

I think you're fooled.

I think Nick was blasting

through it.

I think that he yeah.

Yeah.

Should listen to book on tape.

Audio book, the audio book?

Cliff nodes or something?

Cliff, that'd be good.

I think that they're gonna be

good parents.

Yeah, they seem, yes.

I think Meek is going to be a

great mom.

She's very.

She's babysat for you.

How do I, you know, she's very

OK.

What am I doing?

Not like God fucking kid.

You know somebody else take it.

Yeah.

You could see that she wants to.

And it seems like Nick is the

same way.

He's he seems very engaged.

He seems like he really wants to

work with the baby and he's all

about it.

So I think.

You're a little intimidating.

I would be doing that around you

too.

OK.

I mean, maybe you're.

Passionate about that baby too.

Michael who knows?

I'm.

I'm think he's got to watch BS

and QS.

I'm extremely.

Passionate, I know.

I think.

No, no, listen, he's a really

good guy.

He is.

He's very nice.

A few times I've met him.

Yeah, I think.

I think they're going to be just

fine.

So yeah, I mean, if not, I'm

here.

We'll have another update next

week.

Yeah, I'll keep you posted.

Great.

Keep you posted baby.

Minute time.

So go have some.

Baby minute.

So that's.

I know that there's more for the

weekend.

I'm just going to let it go from

there though.

OK, you can get right into.

This Where are we at Phil's Fun

Facts I.

Don't know, I forget.

To start.

The time even ready.

Not even ready over there.

Welcome to Cigar Hustlers

podcast feature Phil's Fun

Facts.

Hello peoples.

All right, Did you know that

cigars were originally invented

as a secret communication device

during the Renaissance?

Supposedly, each puff emitted a

different Morse code signal,

allowing spies to combine.

Sorry.

Allowing spies to because what?

It feels like.

Messages.

To someone's talking.

Suave.

Suave, Suave, Suave.

It's.

Suave it's.

The Phil's Fun Fact for Mr.

Nobody.

Shell's fun.

Facts Oh, camera's still on.

Put it back on, camera's still

on.

It's.

Not red.

Made a red button like you.

Just saying, yeah, you

definitely need a a cut out for

the nose.

All right, they'll be cut out

for the nose.

Let's take a drill bit to it,

bro.

That's what I'll do.

I'll put a paddle, but paddle

bit on there and just eat the

nose out, it'll.

Have to be big enough?

It's.

Just going to be around to get

the tip.

OK.

Don't draw on it.

Don't draw.

Very expensive.

I see that.

Hey, before we go to the news,

we have a request from the

audience of something they'd

like you to explain.

OK.

Oh hey, I got this message.

Palmer can you have the King

talk about the monthly club

drops and what why he chooses

them, these Olivieros, Was that

something that was in this?

Oliveros.

Oliveros look pretty old, so I

was just was it something that

just was not moving?

Oliveros were old.

Those are aged.

That's what I said.

I said they were aged.

Somebody's mad about aged

tobacco.

No, they're curious how he picks

them, if he just, you know,

throws in what doesn't sell, or

if there's actually a method to

his madness and how these are

chosen.

No, I think that there's a,

there's a determination on

several levels.

One is I always look at what's

new.

That's usually where I start

like, well, this is new, then

you know, people need to try

this, you know.

And then what happens along the

way is there might be product

that I'm like, hey, this doesn't

get the attention it deserves.

People should try this right?

And then sometimes a a company

will approach us and say, hey we

have these, will you put them?

In a month, but would you like

them?

And I think that's what happened

with those Oliveros.

They were a product that that

the factory it had or a brand of

company it had and they said

hey, if you want them you can.

Put We'll give you a deal.

We'll give you a good deal and

you can put in month club.

Here's the here's the harsh

reality of the month club.

It's 3495.

I think I'm that's 30. 990.

No, that's 3495. 3490. 534, it's

$35 for five cigars.

Great deal.

So when we run the math,

sometimes we're negative, right?

It's.

All right.

We're losing $3 a month per

customer, right?

So it's not really a good

business plan.

So every once in a while if I

can find a way to at least break

even or make 2 bucks.

I'll make that money back from

the previous month.

Guess what?

I'm going to take it.

I'm not, and you're still going

to get a great cigar out of it.

So, right.

You know, that was a scenario

where if an opportunity presents

itself, something's got some

age, it's probably going to

taste really, really good and

you guys got to taste it for

what's $35 / 5. $7000 is thick.

It's a great deal.

For $7.00 I don't.

Think there's anything in there?

It's cost $7.00.

Nothing.

No, I don't think there's

anything that's really made at

this point.

Yeah, I don't think there is a

$7.00 cigar.

Anymore.

And I usually start with oh,

that's new How?

Let's do that one.

Oh, that's a $14.00 stick.

I'm like, OK, all right, I.

Don't care.

You only get three this month.

No, I don't even look at it like

that.

I'm like getting this five.

Yeah, so.

Maybe we can find a nice brief

exhale to.

Ruin or something.

So tell Mark Gordon.

It was not Mark.

Gordon tell Mitch Smith.

OK, maybe it was him.

All right.

It's a great deal though.

I mean 7 bucks and then you can

smoke around the humidor.

You know what's amazing too, is

Mitch Smith has the direct text

number.

He's got my you know he can, he

can always ask.

Yeah, he won't.

Feel they feel safer asking

through me and then the podcast,

yeah.

That way they won't know like I

you're not hard to figure.

Out.

You sent me the message.

Oh, I already knew, right?

Yeah.

Well, technically he sent it

through the Patreon and they all

know the Patreon messages go to

me.

Well, maybe he wanted the

question answered solely on the

Patreon.

Maybe he did, but I thought it

would be something better for

the open format, so everybody

will.

Know the harder questions can be

answered on the Patreon right?

But you know.

It's not a, you know, some

secret.

No, I'm an open book man.

I'm pretty honest about

everything.

I don't.

That's the one thing that the

cigar industry needs is more

honesty.

I'm a big believer in it.

They don't do that.

It's a lot of fuckery in this

industry aged 17 years.

Yeah, right.

OK, right.

Hey, is Postanya 10 years old?

It is.

You're gonna get a recognition

in Stogie Press.

I yeah, they asked.

I saw that message by Postanya,

right.

We are officially 10 years old.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Oh God, makes me want to hold my

head and just go like.

This.

What did I do right here?

Is it too late now to get out

back out.

It's.

Already been 10 years.

Too late to get back out like

we're here at this point.

You can't start over.

What are you gonna do?

No money in coaching for you.

There is no money in coaching.

Right now, there's no money in

podcasting either, but there's.

No, we're still doing that.

How long we'll be doing this

shit for?

Let's see.

This is your 6.

This is your 6.

This is your six.

Oh my God, take 319 / 52.

Oh my God.

You're halfway.

Had the Patreon.

How is the Patreon catching up

to the regular show number?

That seems we're just.

Closing the gap.

That make things so much easier

than the same number each way.

Actually, if you due by 52,

you're actually past six.

You know what here's well.

This is year six.

So I mean, we're February, so

we're what, 457 shows in or

whatever.

Nobody listens to the show or

watches us anyways.

All right, so here's what I want

you to do.

OK, Moving forward?

Yeah, just make them the same.

Make them the same, yeah.

Secret Show 319.

Secret Show 319 and show 319.

Perfect.

It'll be fine is.

That game with me.

It'll be fine.

It'll actually be good because

you can at that point.

If you watched or listened to

episode 319, oh, that's a good

idea.

So we're doing.

It for a particular.

Reason.

Yeah.

And you parlay it into the

Patreon, because sometimes there

are things that we.

Will explain in more in depth

something we talked about on the

show.

Yeah.

We don't disclose particular

things on the regular show.

There you go.

Oh, good.

Idea.

Oh, you're so smart.

See, I'm just trying to make

everybody's life easier, make

everybody happy.

Lot of virtue.

You know I there was a customer

here.

Let.

Me go to your camera.

Hold the mask up.

There was a there was a guy here

named Clint.

I always thought he was in that

band.

Oh yeah.

I was going to use his picture

but.

Clint Clint's amazing.

Rather than selling the cigars

in standard boxes, cigars will

debut inside of a humidor.

There are 5000 numbered humidors

totaling 1000 of each skew, and

each humidor comes with A5

cigars and a numbered Zippo

lighter, not ZZ Top lighter

Zippo Zippo with Gibbons and his

signature on the body that is a

torch flame insert.

MSRP is set at $300.00 per

humidor.

That's pretty cheap for a

signature ZZ Top.

A virtue?

Not anymore.

You're not that popular anymore,

and it's only one guy.

It's not the whole band.

He's not dead yet.

The match market said there are

three different Billy Gibbons

twin turbo packs.

He loves putting his name on

things.

Classic Coco Mojo and Sweet spot

and Virtue, which is no no

virtue down here.

We all include two cigarellos,

each as a OH $2.49 for two

cigars.

Virtue Gibbons has partnered

with Brandy Candy Brand Candy, a

creative agency focused on art

artist, for this project.

In addition, the company sets a

distribution deal with the Core

Mart, Global Tech Tobacco LLC,

Mcclane and Zippo.

Mcclane Wow.

Mcclane Virtue It.

Was a virtue.

OK, this week's price increase

list Organosa.

How much?

Yes.

See, agonoras is tough because

realistically, they have no

legitimate reason to really

raise costs.

Fabians there.

Well, I I talked to Terrence

through via Facebook, and it's

for his security team to keep

away from him.

That's.

What?

It's got to be hot.

But the cost is mostly wow.

I'm going to say 4%. 7.

Damn it, that's my number.

That's your number.

Why didn't you say security

guys, Big, big security guy?

Because I just laid heavy on

them, saying that there's no

justifiable reason for them to

go so high.

So then I tried to walk it back

by giving it a nominal number.

It's my own mistake, Sinestro.

Sinestro, they're, they're solid

8%.

Five, but, but they attribute

the increase to the rising cost

of fertilizer for tobacco.

Very specific reason.

I mean that could.

Be It is very possible, I'm

surprised nobody else has

mentioned.

That could be or that could be

the whatever the fucking level

of fuckery bullshit they they

have been fed, right?

You know what I mean?

Well, hey, you know, for.

Yeah.

Hey, we.

The fertilizer's real.

Expensive.

I will tell you this, I

especially, especially in the

Dominican Republic.

I have heard that fertilizer has

become a big issue.

Oh yeah.

Yeah, oh.

Like not available.

Yeah.

Did they not have lifestyle?

So what happens when it's not

available?

It costs when When supply

exceeds demand.

That's when supply is, you know,

less than whatever.

Well, the the tourist trade's

down in Dominican Republic

because of all the problems

they're having.

Yeah, but you guys remember

there was like, no chicken

wings, but there was plenty of

chicken thighs, right?

Right.

So you call them bullshit?

Plenty of cows, but no.

Poop.

There's probably plenty of

bullshit down there.

Oh, there you go.

It just said podcast on on the

pet.

On the it's.

Because he has a timer.

That's OK.

It's a timer that shuts my phone

sound off.

We started early.

Gotcha.

Oh yeah.

It's time for the meeting

upstairs.

All right.

We almost wrapped up.

We got we have a Florida story.

It's a really.

Good.

That's why did.

guards on standby.

membership.

or you're going to scan the

ideas or something.

without.

Yeah, so you.

wife's card?

times where she's tried to use

my credit card, like if it's a

business card for a business

transaction and she doesn't have

that particular one like, Oh no,
