Yeah, yeah, that's true.

Yeah.

I I I'm gonna tell you right

Our washer broke.

We haven't done laundry in four

or five days.

There's a massive backup.

Oh, you're still holding out on

that?

Well, they were closed Sunday

when we went to go get one.

I got one this morning and it'll

be delivered tomorrow.

A part or a new one?

A new one.

The part was more than the

Washington.

That sounds about.

Right.

It was the the whole motor.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, the guy came and lifted it

up and turned it by hand.

It sounded like he had a bowl

full of screws.

It was just just grinding

noises.

Sir, it's broken.

I I went motor high and he goes

yes it's a motor.

Yeah.

Or the door is 3 quarter

shutter.

He's in there with actually a

bowl full of screws I.

Don't.

Yeah, maybe he just said that

when he said to agree with you.

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

It's a motor.

It's Jr. from upstairs J Rs

Appliances.

He used to advertise on the

Chetton Palmer show, so I know

him, so to speak.

So.

So you bought a washer from him?

No, no, no, no, no.

He doesn't sell them.

Oh, he's just the repairs.

He just repairs and service.

Very nice, right?

Do you know what the bigger If

you have a bigger drum, it's a

same size motor as a small drum.

Really.

Yeah.

Fascinating.

Stuff it is.

I could tell you that when our

washer was down, it took 24 less

than 24 hours.

I fucking had a new wash.

I didn't care what it was.

I didn't care what it was.

You have a large amount of

children and things at your.

House, we are not waiting.

Yeah, so.

Yeah, we're talking about

plague.

I mean, things are just.

Things are growing.

Things are desperate.

Clothes are climbing out of the

hamper.

There's literally no clothes in

the closet.

Right, everybody.

Everybody's naked tonight.

Yeah, not.

Everywhere.

Yeah, there's nothing where.

In one towel.

Wear the underwear.

It's just.

Anybody got a dry towel?

We need a dry towel.

That's like being in a hotel

with no towel.

You have to use the washcloth to

dry.

Son of a bitch.

Hand towels, washcloths, paper

towels.

So how was your weekend?

Did you cut the grass?

I did on Saturday, actually.

I love cutting.

Grass, cutting the grass.

That's fantastic.

Well, I could tell you that we.

Went to swamp house.

This is like your routine.

Yeah, we're not going to swamp

house anymore.

The food and the service has

gone downhill this.

Is really tanked I.

Found him from Oba and Bob, who

hangs out there every morning.

They've changed.

Owners.

New owner?

Not good.

Well, maybe there.

Listen, there's usually a

transitional pair.

It could be.

It could.

I read a bad review last week

from somebody online and then

while we were waiting for our

food, I heard a group of 922

separate.

There was a group of nine, but

there were two separate tables.

They were complaining on the

service and the food.

Look, acquiring a business is

hard.

Sure, sure, sure.

You know, we're just gonna not

go for a while and then we'll

try back.

They give them time to work the

kinks out anything.

It's not like we're just gonna,

you know, burn the place down.

Burn it down.

I'm talking why is your camera

on?

I don't know.

I I like that it was on me.

I was going back and forth, then

you burn.

It it's mixed in and out, it's

mixed up a Little Mix up.

Oh well, you want some camera

time is.

It no, I'm fine.

I looked at too to to, you know,

to address the audience, and it

wasn't on SO.

Now, now you're on now.

I'm on again. 15 seconds of

fame.

I have nothing to say.

So we did football.

What did you did football,

Friday Night Football?

Yeah, yeah, Just as my 12

Patriots team.

Oh my God, man, I almost lost my

mind.

It was, it was rough.

It was tough.

It was rough.

Yeah.

Did.

You ever did he get in a fight?

Did you ever see?

Do you ever see it like?

You ever had to walk over?

You guys couldn't hear her home,

but she had to go over.

And break.

You ever see like like the

manager approaching the mound.

Yes.

To talk to the pitcher.

That's what was going on.

She came up.

She's like, where the fuck are

you?

I'm like, there's, you know, my

quarterback was just throwing to

the other team.

I'm like, wait, sorry you threw

your binder.

I'm full.

Oh, nice.

He threw his biker on a.

Bobby Knight style.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Wait a SEC, Yogi.

Bear on him.

Wait.

He wants to defend.

Wait a second.

Give the defendant a chance.

Like when you describe a throw,

it wasn't, it was a like a toss.

I just kind of tossed in the air

like.

Fuck, it was like a it was like

a, not a.

Yeah, it wasn't like a Yeah, And

I was.

Like it wasn't a.

And I'm like, why would you

throw to the guy that's covered

by three people?

This is practice.

No, this is a game.

This is a game.

But we well.

Did the play call for them to

throw to that one person?

I mean, they are children.

Well, there's a there's a

primary, there's a primary

receiver, and then there's a

secondary receiver.

Okay.

And if they're both covered, I

would much rather just take the

sack, you know?

But.

Did the children know that?

Yes, and Justice threw this ball

up in the air that got

intercepted pick six and I'm

like, what the fuck was that

dude?

You only have to split that way.

Is that when you threw the

binder?

No.

Well, my, I I don't remember

things.

My.

My is that when?

You threw the binder, My

supervisor.

Is he mad at his own child?

No.

No, I was mad at my own child to

start.

And then the other one.

Then I put the other one in that

was fucking up and he fucked up

and Oh my God, you know, did.

You give the watch kid a chance.

I threw the ball to the watch.

Kid No.

Then be quarterback.

No, that that's that's a bit

excessive.

He will take the sack.

Though no, the other my ball.

He'll just run.

No, wait, stop.

No, no.

But we did try to throw him the

ball.

Oh.

So you know.

Was that the interception?

No, you know, no.

You know what's funny is like

getting them getting kids to

click.

They practice.

Amazing, right?

Right.

For whatever reason, on game

day, they all shut down.

I'm like, what is going on?

Super.

Nervous.

You got people watching on?

Watching they don't get by the

binder.

Yeah, I'll say cattle prod.

I'm bringing a cattle prod did.

You drop the.

Ball response?

Yeah, yeah, that'd be good.

The other thing where you wrap

their hands in sticky tape.

Yeah, then all the kids are

going to go over to the Bengals.

The the Bengals.

Whatever teams that are out

there, I don't know who's all

out there.

Super teams, super team, mega

teams.

So we had that and Jack's,

Jack's quarterbacks for 5-6 day

and they they did great.

They did great.

They made some mistakes.

They made a couple mistakes, but

they won they.

Still won though.

They won by one point.

That's all it takes.

It was amazing.

Only takes the one.

But I got a, you know, kudos to

to the other coaches because the

offensive coach, you know, he'll

let me try things.

I'm like, let's do this.

And then we ran a play

interception.

I'm like, I'm so sorry, dude.

Sort of take over as coach on

the other team too.

He's like, it's OK.

I allowed it.

I allowed it.

He did.

You know I'm like, OK, yeah, you

know he's we're we work together

on offense.

So he's the head guy though.

Pressure, right, Brittany?

So who took ownership of the

she's?

Nodding.

She's nodding, but with a smirk.

I feel there's more story here.

Yeah, well.

His says coach.

The other guy says assistant

coach.

Well, 11 shirt, says coach.

But he did.

Try.

To get me to do coach on the

back of his, absolutely.

I was like, why doesn't mind,

say, coach?

There's got to be an assistant

in front of that.

You say you're not the coach.

Coach #2.

That'd be coach number.

Three.

The vice coach.

Yeah, Vice coach, helper coach.

He doesn't like no, no, he can't

say that one he.

Doesn't like ball handler.

Yeah, don't put.

That no.

No did children's sport League?

Michael, don't put ball handler.

What?

I'm the ball handler.

Don't.

Did it?

No.

No.

No.

And then.

And then Teddy woke up with a

stomach bug.

Oh, oh.

My God, when did that happen?

Friday night.

Man.

Dude.

Have you had it yet?

No, I don't.

You know what I honestly think?

I think that it was, you know

how I wasn't feeling well for

that week.

Yeah.

And I think Brittany wasn't

feeling well either.

She think she had.

You totally did.

She was fine.

She's fine.

She's totally fine.

Superwoman she.

Had 20 loads of laundry.

She was off.

She was off for a few days and

then it hit.

I think it got to Teddy and

she's.

Never off.

She doesn't take days off.

And it made Teddy vomit and all

these other things, so she was

throwing up like fucking crazy.

Yeah, there was definitely.

I know there was something going

around in the schools.

Dude, it was a long night.

And like, I finally, I think it

was like 4 or 5:00 AM like her

eyes were open.

Her eyes were open.

So I'm like keeping an eye.

I'm like, I'm going to have to

stay up because as soon as she

moves, I want to intercept.

And I did that a couple times

and then it was getting close to

5:00 AM and I'm like, all right,

I think she's done close my eyes

2 minutes.

But that bitch is in, there she

goes and she's like, I got to

poop.

So I put her on the toilet so

she could throw up and not poop.

Quickly she came up the other.

End.

So she threw up everywhere.

This is while I was sitting on

the toilet.

I'm like, you're lucky you're so

goddamn cute.

Yeah, it's hard at that age,

man, 'cause they don't really

understand the feelings, so they

don't know what something.

'S coming out, but I don't know

which end.

You gotta be bucket ready, man.

And she would do the like this

Adorable.

I'm like, are you thinking

you're gonna throw up again?

And instead of saying like, I

don't know whether she just

shrugged, I don't.

Know oh.

God.

Maybe.

Maybe.

All right, this is great.

So I have no more information.

Should have had a bucket.

We tried.

We tried with the bucket.

No, it didn't matter.

It didn't.

Matter.

Yeah, sometimes it doesn't

matter.

Dude.

We got that one time.

It was.

Impossible.

The buckets on the side of the

bed, Yeah, it's like literally

like 1 foot.

Oh, no, you have to.

You have to hold it.

Yeah, You know, you can't get

plays ago.

The buckets right here if you

need it now.

She was holding that one point

she threw up on the on the wall

next year, but I'm like.

You're holding the bucket.

You're holding it.

It looked gross.

Daddy.

I didn't want to talk.

It smelled fun.

So Saturday we kind of took it

easy and we thought that she was

feeling a little better.

So then we went out to eat with

our friends and and then Sunday,

same scenario, we just kind of

kept it low key right and we

went to the mall.

A mall.

V Mall.

Yeah.

Oh, all of them close to us,

Yeah.

Yeah.

That one's still open.

Let me tell you, Let me fucking

tell you something.

So the kids, they all, they both

had like 250 bucks.

Wow.

That they accumulated from

communion and other things,

birthday presents or whatever.

So we said, all right, look, 150

is going to go into your account

and you can spend 100 bucks.

Oh, nice.

OK.

If you give $100 to an 8 year

old?

Ice cream.

I mean he's gonna that

motherfucker that he bought 2

stuffed animals.

Were they the same?

From build-a-bear?

No, they were two different

ones.

He built a bear.

Though, yeah, well, one was a

dog and one was like a

velociraptor and then he.

Went to $100 and then.

Yeah, and he had to buy the

shoes, and then he had to buy

the skates and he had to buy the

leash and it was 100 bucks.

Well, Dad, just so you know,

it's all about the experience.

Yeah, well, so you know, he blew

his wad pretty fucking fast.

Meanwhile, the other one, you

know, this is his money.

He don't want to fucking spend

it on anything.

He's like, oh, maybe I'll buy

the We went into every fucking

shoe store.

I'll buy a shoelace from this

one.

We went into every I'm like

their shoes.

They're the same in every.

Store every store.

The, you know might.

Be some different, but he's

hoping.

We looked at different Crocs, we

looked, we looked at everything,

and I was just like.

What do you buy?

He didn't fucking buy.

Anything.

I knew it.

I That's fucking.

That's the.

Way Adrian's Tanner is all the

other kids would blow the money.

Tanner's like no, I just.

I'm.

Not spending that money.

This is ridiculous.

Right.

My kids are like this.

Then the week after he's sitting

you up to buy him something.

I'm like, I know you're sitting

on $100, so at.

Least so this was Sunday, So I'm

like, OK And then, so then we

had to go to Target, right?

For more shoes.

No.

Well, they need shorts.

The kids fucking need shorts.

So I'm like, alright, I'll tell

you what if you you know, if you

want shorts, we will buy the

shorts from from Target.

If you want your fucking phase

rug or your YouTube guy's shorts

that are 50 bucks a pull, like

what I'll do is I will offset

the cost of whatever I the

Target purchase is.

So call them 20 bucks and then

you'll spend the the difference.

Wait, there's some new type of

thing?

Out.

Yeah, the the Youtubers, they

all make cool shorts.

Oh, do they really?

So he's like, OK, so he goes and

he looks at the the shorts.

He's like, yeah, I'll just take

the one from Target.

I'm like, you son of a bitch.

Of course you would.

God forbid you'd spend your own

fucking money and.

The target doesn't carry the

fancy.

Shoes.

No.

The, you know, they're just

standard whatever, not.

His money?

Why does he care?

Yeah, he's like, this is 20

bucks.

Yeah, sure, you can spend that

20, no problem.

No problem at all.

So then he's like, but now I

want to go look at the toy

section.

Oh my God.

So then we go and look at the

fucking toy section and he

doesn't buy anything.

Just jacks.

Do they even have toys for kids

that age?

No, I don't.

I don't know what the fuck you

was thinking.

You look at the sports section,

You know, like this is not how

men buy things.

Oh yeah, you have to talk with

them.

Yeah, like this is not how this.

Works in your underwear.

You walk in, you pick up the

underwear, you turn around, you

walk right back out.

That's how I work.

Yeah, you describe the white

ones in your.

Assets and you execute and it's

over.

What about the black ones?

Don't get the black ones, just

get the.

White ones.

Whatever's right there, you

fucking grab.

Whatever's first time to pick.

That's it.

They just wanted to go home.

With.

Something, yeah, he just wanted

to bring.

Something home, but it was.

But he couldn't pull the

trigger.

Couldn't pull the trigger.

Yeah, Oh yeah, the the the Crocs

were like 80 bucks.

He's like, oh fuck that.

Yeah, like no shit, dude.

Well, he becomes a bargain

shopper when it comes to his.

Way I'm.

Gonna check Amazon when I get

home.

Hey, check right there.

He's got the phone with him.

I'll look stuff up when we're at

Target.

I can have this here tomorrow,

honey.

I can have it at the house and

do $20 a day.

Yeah, he'll be here tomorrow.

Do we exact same thing?

Do you need to leave with it

today?

Right?

Like, how bad do you really want

it?

Right, right.

I mean in three days, so.

So we got all this done, all

right, and then we have to go

eat.

Right.

So we don't know where to eat.

And Jack says, oh, let's go to

the Korean place, a new place

that's up the the street.

And I'm like, OK, that's cool.

So you go to this place.

Have you ever been to a Korean

hot pot or whatever the phone?

Oh, my Lord, yes, I have.

So it's got a hot pot and it's

got a grill, right?

And you can either do the hot

pot or the grill, or for 5 bucks

more, you can do both.

OK, OK.

Well, I don't know what we're

doing, so we'll do both.

Yeah, sure, Right.

You've been to 1, Palmer.

Yeah, In China, they've been

them in China.

So the experience was cool,

right?

Teddy?

That bitch didn't eat anything.

Right, Yeah.

Well, she probably saw the frog

like a sense.

She didn't even eat the

watermelon.

I mean, like nothing, right?

And Jax is 11, so he gets

charged the adult price.

Oh, he just missed it.

So, so we get the bill.

I'm like, holy fucking driver.

'S license, bro.

He should have just said he.

Was 10.

I'm like, yeah, no.

Oh, if we go back, he will be

10.

He's ten.

Wait.

What?

Why is he 11?

Lunch.

We what happen.

Yeah, No.

In our in our culture, yeah, it

goes backwards.

We made a mistake.

We.

Made a mistake, we didn't

understand your accent.

He's going to be 10 for the next

5 fucking years.

Mikey shows a burst of his

random pencil.

Yeah, look crossed out.

He's 10.

So Kathy, he goes.

Dad, I'm 15.

Oh, kids are the worst, right?

What are you talking about, Dad?

I'm not ten.

I had that.

What happened to me one time at

Disney World with Sophia, it's

like, it's four, right?

To get in three or three

winners.

She's like, no, no, I'm I'm 4.

I'm like, no, you're not.

Today.

This is not the age you're

supposed to be talking.

Yeah.

Oh, dude, we we did.

We did that forever with Teddy.

We'd smuggle her in and it was

always an argument.

I'm like, listen, just shut the

fuck up When we're walking.

Don't say anything.

You're holding her.

I'm not 2.

So for a family of five, how

much was the Korean restaurant?

That was like $200.

And you cooked your own.

Food.

And I cooked the whole fucking.

Thing, right?

Exactly.

That's what I hate about those.

Like we stopped going to what?

What's What's the famous melting

pot?

Thank you.

Yeah, 'cause last time, yeah, we

walked out with $200.00 and

like, I fucking cooked

everything.

Yeah, that's.

Just stupid.

That's just an expensive Luciano

board.

Right.

Yeah, exactly.

I mean realistic.

Skipping the cheese, you.

Could go to melting pot for just

like, dessert.

Right.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

You know, I think that's what a

lot of people do.

Like, I was scouting people out

like, oh, it's probably 50

bucks.

Oh my God, yeah, but that's a

nice little dessert thing or

whatever.

Making.

It home for $10.

Yeah.

Experience, Palmer, Yeah.

Well, you.

But if you've been once, that's

like an opening date.

By the time you're married,

you're like, no, we're not I.

Don't know that's something to

do something, you know, I I get

it.

You know the one in my house?

I'll charge you $75.

Bro, if I drop 50 for dessert,

it's not not a big deal.

If I if I drop 200 for.

Food that I'll look at you he's

so fancy over.

There.

Yeah.

Uh huh.

That's right.

Nothing but the.

Best Nothing but the best for

that Lady folding the 75 loads

of kids.

Laundry, That's right.

I can't match these socks,

they're too small.

All right.

OK, So so I took it all.

So I took it on the chin all

Sunday pretty much, right?

Right.

And we fucking go home.

She's already laughing.

Yeah, we go home and there's a

dumpster in our driveway.

Who's moving?

She's moving.

Out.

No.

So.

So we're.

Getting our We came for the rest

of her stuff.

So we're getting our roof done.

Oh, and apparently they're

starting work on Monday.

Oh, didn't tell you?

They didn't fucking tell me so.

My car is blocked inside the

garage.

So I text.

I called.

No answer text.

Hey, no one informed me that

we're starting, right?

My car is officially blocked

right now.

I understand how all of this

shit works now, right?

Right.

Because of our relationship.

I get all of this.

I understand the fucking

processes of life when it comes

to construction, right?

So I said, hey, I need somebody

to come back out here and move

this thing tonight so I can get

my car out, because I want my

car out.

You know, does he have the

truck?

No.

Well, it's, it's well, I don't

have a truck so and it's and

it's bolted.

It's locked and the dumpster

guys subcontracted out.

There's no roofing company.

They don't.

They have.

They called somebody.

Yeah, they called somebody.

They said, oh, I'm really sorry

about that.

Starting early Monday morning, I

need you to drop this off

Sunday.

Thanks for your patience.

We'll work this out, I said.

OK, come 8:15.

If I don't hear from either one

of you, I'm cutting the bolt of

the fucking lock 'cause.

He wants an answer.

He's like, I'm not dealing with

this.

Come 8:15, I'm cutting the bolt.

Come 9:00 if I haven't heard

from you guys, I'm moving this

dumpster.

With my hands.

Yeah.

I'm I'm.

I'm.

Oh.

Yeah, I just.

I was getting to that.

Why didn't you just?

I was just pushing the shit down

the driveway.

I just want you to know, dude,

there was a solid hour of me

just being angry and I was

fucking bolt in that thing.

I was like berm, berm and like

because the the mount went down

on the ground, I moved it about

12 inches.

I moved maybe a foot.

But it felt good to just beat

the hell out of this thing,

yeah.

You took in on the chin all all

week and long so.

Yeah, so I just beat the shit

out of this dumpster.

So 815 comes around, I cut the

bolt and I text.

Someone said Bolt's cut.

Now you have 45 minutes.

Before I put.

It this before I move it myself,

right?

And and now they know I'm not

fucking around.

Right.

So now they respond.

Oh yeah, It's like, hey, well,

so it's dead air.

It's dead air.

And Greg, Greg, I said, hey, you

know, this is where I'm at.

This is what I'm doing.

He's like, OK, let me come over

and help you.

I'm like, OK, he's like I we can

get a Jack stand up.

We could lift the bot in front

of it and we probably just

manually push it.

Or I could just tow it with the

fucking Hummer.

Whatever, we'll figure it out.

I would suggest towing it.

I'm like OK.

I know you're strong.

I'm like, I'm like, OK, I'm

like, OK, hey, listen, I, I

look, I now have assistance,

which is I'm very grateful for

that.

My neighbor has a Chuck, but he

wasn't.

He wasn't there at the time and

he got back to me later.

He goes, yeah, I'll be home a

little bit.

We can do it.

I'm like, OK, cool.

So at least I have my problem

solved with two different

people, right?

And I can get to my, I can get

to my, get to my.

Car he's going to pick the

neighbor.

Well, no, I'm actually, I

actually went with Greg because

Greg was going to, Greg was in

route, Greg would be there

first.

So I get a call from the owner

of the company and he says, hey,

I think it's the owner of the

company.

I don't know for I can't confirm

that, but I believe that it was

him.

And he says, hey man, here we

have a situation and I said yeah

dude.

Not in about 15 minutes.

I said.

I said I cut the bolt already

because, you know, you guys

haven't gotten back to me and no

one notified me that we were

starting right.

So I need to get my car out and

I'm going to move this thing if

you guys aren't coming to move

it and he goes, OK, someone will

be there in the morning.

And I said, I gotta be honest,

dude, that is a vague answer.

Right.

The morning.

The morning is not descriptive

as to what time the person will

be here, right?

And I am not going to be held by

you guys not having access to my

vehicle.

So look, I'm moving this thing

and I will put it back since you

called, I will put, I will put

it back.

But you're out of a bolt, he

goes or whatever, dude.

OK, I'll take care of the bolt.

I'm like, all right, so I'm

moving it, this is happening.

And he goes, OK, man, I'm really

sorry.

I'm like.

Why would they not want you to

move it?

Liability.

Or something, I'm sure.

Yeah, you know, I'm like, all

right, dude, you know?

Sunday evening, you can't get

any better.

There's like, just let the guy

fucking moving.

Well, what they thought is they

thought the first time he texted

he was just gonna leave it alone

and somebody would call him.

Right, yeah, right.

But then when he cut the lock.

But right.

But then.

But now you're met with

ultimatums, right?

Like, OK, well, here's.

OK, well, I know where you're at

now here's where I'm at.

I'm cutting the bolt.

Right?

Like, oh shit.

They thought he was fucking

around, then he said.

I cut the bolt.

They're like, oh shit, not

fucking.

Around the bolt's cut.

I'm gonna blow this shit up

next.

I would have pulled it and left

it in the street if they didn't

respond to me.

Your Your shit is blocking the

road now.

Oh, nice.

It's impeding traffic.

Like, that's the that's the

level that I was at.

Like, it's cool.

Hey, you know what?

If you don't want to, like, I

know that you're making money on

this, right?

And this should This is a

customer service thing, right?

You didn't notify me.

And we're now at a point where

you know that you fucked up.

I'm OK with all of that, right?

Mistakes happen.

Mistakes were made, right?

How are we fixing it?

Like somebody's got to have a

truck get the fuck out here and

move this motherfucker so that I

can get my car out, right?

So.

But if you don't want to fucking

engage in me, no problem, dude.

I my fucking energy is gonna

match your energy.

We will have not a fucking sake

in front of my house.

Don't worry about it.

Well, the guy that dropped it

off, he's not allowed to drive

after dark.

Well, he doesn't give a Yeah, he

don't give a fuck.

He's done.

He's done.

So he's from the dumpster

company?

Yeah, yeah, he's like fuck you.

You ordered it.

I'd.

You told me.

You told me to drop it off.

I dropped it.

The fuck?

And it's not his fault.

No, it's beer 30.

Yeah, it's not.

It's not the dumpster guy's

fault, it's the roofing

company's fault.

Right.

I'm like, OK, no fucking

problem.

So Greg pulls up, we fucking put

the Jack up on it.

He goes, I bet you we can just

push this in with the Jack up

fucking.

We Jack it up, we fucking heave

ho push it out of the way like.

Is that why he's up there and

going, Oh, my arm's up?

Probably.

Is he complaining about his

stuff?

He's moaning and groaning.

I just figured it was just

Monday morning.

Yeah, no, that was it.

Yeah, he tried.

That all makes sense.

So I shove this thing out of the

way, I get my car out, and at

8:59 I got a text saying, hey,

someone will be there at 7:15 in

the morning.

I promise blah blah, I'm like

car's already out.

Yeah, we already moved this.

Like like I told you that it.

Had to be out in the.

Front it had to be out and then

I sent a picture saying ideally

I would like it here in front of

my house and not in front of the

garage door because this is our

main entrance to get in and out.

Yeah, but if you don't want to

move it in a picture.

Of the front door, too.

We can't get in this way.

But if I but but if you don't

move it, I understand this is

exactly what I said.

So but up front that door

doesn't open.

So nobody showed up at 7:00 in

the morning.

Of course not.

Well, you already moved it now.

Yeah, but they could have still

fixed it and put it in a better

spot.

Oh.

Yeah, that Nope.

Yeah.

No, I mean they didn't fucking

move it on Sunday.

Cancel, right?

Cancel Bob for Monday.

Morning.

Tell him not to worry about it.

I'm not to worry.

Got a bit moved.

Guy's a psychopath.

Like, yeah, no shit.

I don't think his name is Bob.

It might be it's.

Bob Pedro Felipe Felipe doesn't

have to go.

Something.

Something Hispanic.

Oh, and I'm the racist so.

Yeah, he's definitely.

Racist.

He's definitely racist.

So the old white guy Bob going.

All right, so cars are out,

right?

Problem solved.

I feel better now.

Anger has been taken out on

dumpster except.

Your roof's going to leak.

No, no, the the roof people.

The roof workers don't know

what's going on.

You don't think he's told him?

No, not at all.

Kevin, the owner of the company.

No, his actually his name is

Steven with the pH.

Fellas, is it really?

Listen, fellas.

Anyway, it's a construction.

Thing Listen fellas, this guy,

you know he he kind of

complained to me a little bit.

So there's no survey, says after

you guys are done each day.

I was going to say so whatever.

You guys want?

To do on that roof, you'd do it.

Hola amigos.

Understando no good job.

Oh.

So I go.

To job.

All right.

So that's.

All you got to do, OK, so it's

the next morning, right?

I go to drop off the kids.

It's garbage day.

Oh, no, I know.

What's happening?

It's in.

It's in the way of the garbage.

Cans.

The garbage guy picked it up and

put.

It so the garbage cans are at

the edge of the driveway, right?

I go, I take the kids home,

right?

I come back.

Workers are there.

They have moved the garbage cans

onto the grass.

Well, because it was moved onto

the grass.

Oh, you're you got garbage man

like that the.

Garbage man won't fucking take

it.

Really.

Yeah, it's.

Like, it's like a principal

thing for those guys, man.

They're fucking crazy.

They roll it and.

They.

Just yeah, 'cause?

Yeah 'cause it's just the

fucking.

It's just the machine.

It's the lifty thing though,

yeah?

Yeah, no.

But they drive it to the to the

edge of the.

Dump there and it.

Picks up and dumps in, so since

it's on the grass, they won't

touch it really.

They might have had an issue

with somebody, like maybe they

ruined somebody's grass

sometime, yeah.

He's back into the circle and

then they all run around to the

houses and bring him to the

truck.

Those guys are awesome.

So I looked at the roofing guy

of.

Course, you might not get your

garbage can back, but that's a

whole nother problem.

So I looked at the roofing guy

and said, hey, you move my

garbage cans because you move my

garbage cans, they didn't take

the trash out.

Now use cans leaves.

Now you have to take my garbage

and throw it in your dumpster.

Okay.

Yeah.

No Spanish, no like, but he.

Spoke Spanish so that he became

Russian.

No, he no he he fucking

understood.

He got it, he said.

OK, no problem.

See.

Fucking good.

Oh, he's the he's the manager.

See FA.

No, you know, look, the reality

is I think that don't hurt me.

I think that you know those guys

like, I think that is the for a

lot of them, their primary

language is Spanish, but a lot

of them speak English and when

they saw that.

Oh, they all speak English first

of all.

Yeah, and when I saw, when they

saw that.

We got to arrive there.

We had a phone call.

We're we're looking at DEFCON

fucking three over here.

They're like, OK, we'll take.

Care, did you throw the the cut

lock at them to get their

attention?

No, actually put.

Throw he just.

No, I put the cut lock back on

the dumpster on the so it looked

like it was locked.

Oh, yeah, I tried to do the

right thing.

What's that?

The timeline of what?

So she's talking about for the

roof.

Sunday night you realistically

gave them like. 30 minutes to

come and move to the.

Dumpster.

Well, he was angry.

Oh, only three of these.

When you said the time.

It's not like you like like you

gave them all day.

Well, they had.

Well, they had 45 minutes to

respond, right?

That was the.

But if you see the way you told

the story, I don't know if

anybody else I thought like you

know.

We knew Palmer. 10:00 in the

morning you're like, look you

have to late 15 to answer me

back.

Like they had all that was that

night.

They dropped it off late at

night.

So.

So we showed up around 7:00.

Well, I.

Didn't know what time they.

Showed up.

We got home around 7:00.

What time we get home?

OK, we got home around 7:00.

Now he's gonna.

Get.

So at 7:30, I texted his

motherfuckers and they didn't

give me a good response.

I said OK, you got 45 minutes to

tell me what the fuck is going

on.

Because if you don't want to

respond to me, I'm gonna cut the

bolt.

No response.

Bolt's cut.

Oh, shit.

Guy Serious, right?

And then they had another 45

minutes to get a truck out

there.

So that's an hour and a half.

And Bob didn't come out.

And Bob didn't give a fuck.

No, wait.

Bob, poor people if they would

have showed up.

Oh, you're awake.

Perfect.

Oh, he was drinking alcohol at

this point.

Well, he was mad.

No, I don't.

I don't drink.

No, I'm not.

I'm not.

I know.

I just doesn't.

It's controlled anger.

He's not angry, he's.

Oh, I was angry.

OK, he's angry.

I was definitely angry that time

and the guy's like, I'm sure

you're upset.

I go, I am, but I'm getting over

it.

Somebody needs to move this

dumpster.

Somebody needs to come if.

You're not going to do it.

I'm doing it.

I can't wait till there's like a

roof.

We're gonna have an next week's

episode's gonna be on roofing

nails on the on the driveway.

Well, that's kind of a given.

I know that's gonna happen.

You know what I mean?

Like, I'm aware of all of that.

There's gonna be nails in the

yard.

Like, I'm never.

I'm not the guy that's gonna be

like, move these motherfuckers

doodle.

I'm like, no, no, all I need.

Well, they're not.

They're now just spreading them.

Like here.

Like your bird, see.

Look, here's what I fucking

need.

I need you to be direct and

honest with me at all fucking

times, right?

Like, open communication so that

we can get this done right?

Hey, I need a check for 6500

bucks.

Here's your check, right?

Like, Like, just tell me what?

Tell me what we're doing so that

we can work together and

complete the fucking task.

I'm not expecting.

I know that you're going to

clean up the nails, but you're

not going to clean up all the

nails, right?

Right.

There's going to be some

residual.

I know that there's going to be

shit, right?

Like there's going to be stuff

that I'm going to have to deal

with, right?

So whatever.

I'm not upset about that.

Just tell me what the fuck's

going on.

We.

Don't think you're upset.

I'm not.

Perfectly fine, you're perfectly

fine.

Yeah, Call Scott.

We're going to give Scott Pierce

a call from PCO from CAAC.

Yeah, yeah.

He's not with that otherwise.

May 24th, I think's actually

when he switches over.

Oh, so it's not official vigil?

Will he answer?

Hey, Mike, How's it going?

Pretty good, Mr. Pierce.

How are you Sir?

On the mend, on the mend now.

Thank you very much.

So you're feeling better?

That's good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Feeling much better than I did

last week, that's for sure.

OK, so you got the crew here

with us the I'm Mike Palmer

obviously and then there's Mike

Stepan Kevich and we got filler

engineer over there working on

the board.

Scott, how Scott, how are you

Sir?

Doing good.

Thank you.

Doing good.

Thanks.

How are y'all doing?

Doing well, man.

We're excited.

We heard about the the

transition over to the CAA

that's that's kind of a big

deal, man.

Yeah, yeah, it was.

It's it's a great opportunity.

I'm really glad that I'm able to

you know continue on and staying

in the industry and taking

taking on a little bit of a

different perspective, you know

with PC As for retailer driven,

right, brick and mortar retailer

driven and with CAA, right, it's

it's a, it's a lot more about

the the larger of the industry,

the totality of the industry

with manufacturers and suppliers

and distributors as well.

So while those are all members

of PCA, they're really kind of

members because of the trade

show and how all that functions,

whereas the CAA right, it's

really sort of you know the

larger aspect of the whole

approach to to the

manufacturers.

And you know also you know

obviously there's mass market

machine made that's part of it

too.

But really the totality of the

industry being able to kind of

build some great new advocacy

platforms for for that side and

that perspective of the

industry.

So yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm really

excited.

OK.

So that was the great political

answer.

I really appreciate that

response.

But now I I I have some

questions because I'm going to

tell you right now as far as the

PCA is concerned, as a retailer

over the past, how long have you

been there?

Four years, five years, 6 you've

been there for six years.

I have seen a lot of progress

being made right, not only on

the level.

Because of Mr. Pierce.

I think that he, I honestly

believe that you're an integral

part of that because I've seen

you take shit from people on the

floor and you would handle

things well and you would

address things and you fix them,

right?

Not only that, but I think that

you've also done an excellent

job communicating with PCA,

having them work with CAA.

And there's another one too in

in order to get like laws passed

and try and make these

transitions and and do what you

can to kind of protect that

industry.

Is that true?

That was my fault.

Sorry, my goodness, sorry.

How about you?

Yeah.

No, I I no thank you.

Ivan.

I hate him.

Oh.

Go ahead, sorry.

No, sorry.

Thanks.

I was just going to say first of

all thank you very much.

I I really appreciate the the

kind words and and the

perspective.

It's nice to when people can you

know recognize you know the the

work that you do.

One of the things though that

I've said and this isn't

political, it's the straight

truth.

One of the things I'm most proud

of of PC and the reason why, you

know again people like

yourselves have have noticed

some change and some progress is

because I've been able to to

find and recruit and put in

place a a really very strong

team, you know and so from top

to bottom they're they're you

know, fantastic, right.

And so you know with Josh

Averski and Glenn Loop and the

team there as far as the

government affairs are

concerned, look that's those

guys are still going to work

with them very closely As I head

over to CAA.

Obviously we want to continue to

grow that relationship because

of the success we've had

particularly at state levels and

working with PCA state

associations and the CAA, state

lobbyists to continue to

obviously battle against the tax

increases, continue to fight and

pass tax caps and a myriad of

other things that we want to

continue to work on together

there.

But with Lisa Cox in the trade

show, you know and and and all

of the way that that's been

evolving and changing.

She's an integral part to to

that.

You know and all the new

membership programs and and the

membership outreach with Lisa

Sigler on the communications and

everything with Antoine, we've

got a really, really good solid

team in place that can continue

to carry that forward there.

And so, so you know the I I

appreciate folks saying that

about me, but I'm I'm just you

know a part of the team there

that's been doing that work.

OK, I yeah, I think Antoine's

really cool too man.

He's that he did a great job

this this last year as far as

marketing and for us he was a

lot of direct communication as

far as when we.

Had any time we had a question,

he was he was right on it and he

had an answer for us.

Yeah, so.

Yeah, Antoine's fantastic.

Whether it was his job or not.

So your name, so the the actual

board?

What was your your description

of your title at the PCA?

Executive director, yeah, they

they kind of used that and CEO

interchangeably between myself

in the past couple, but I was an

executive director of the

association.

OK.

And now at CAA, you're going to

be what?

President.

OK, So the president has more

money.

I would assume you get paid more

for a president.

Yeah, the.

Words in the title.

I don't know if that's.

Out.

I don't know.

When it says it's like King, you

know, I guess it's.

It's top of the heat.

Yeah, something.

Like that like that's.

That's a major up to you know, I

here's what listen, this is

entirely speculative.

I'm I'm like out out of realm

here on these things.

But here's what it looked like

to me.

It looked like you didn't get

the credibility that you

deserved at PCA and it looked

like you weren't going to get

compensated for all of the work

that you did.

And because of that you you've

been close with these other

organizations.

You said, hey, maybe this will

be a better move for the

industry as a whole.

You know, I these guys would

acknowledge me and I can

continue to grow and work with

all of these organizations to

help further this industry.

Would any of that be accurate?

I think somewhat, I mean I think

that you know there you know a

lot of their organizations are

kind of in the same sort of

realm of of how they operate and

everything else.

There's a couple of differences.

And so you know the my entire

career pretty much has been

within trade associations.

And so I think that within CAA

it's it's a little bit more of a

corporate structure.

You have people that really

publicly traded companies and

and a very different sort of

structure that exists there.

So it's a larger sort of trade

association in that capacity.

And so when I was looking at the

opportunity and kind of talking

through it, there's a, there's a

lot of you know opportunity

there to go do a lot of really

interesting things as it relates

to kind of that side of the

industry, both mass market but

also from the manufacturer's

perspective.

With PCA, it's obviously been

very, very focused on, on

retailer and and those kind of

aspects and it's a little bit

different, right.

So and there's there's a trade

show component that's part of

PCA and some of these other

components that are part of PCA.

So really when I was kind of

looking at it was just kind of a

new opportunity to to do maybe

some similar things that I did

at PCA in terms of let's

implement some of these changes

that we want to have for for a

trade association that's

evolving with the times that's

needed.

Because anything you do is a

trade association where advocacy

is your main reason for being.

All of that kind of drives it

and it's all kind of scrutinized

as part of what you do as an

organization, right.

I mean, you think you can see

that just for example, the easy

one there is the NRA.

Well, the NRA is known for

obviously a lot of things.

But all the programs that they

do, the gun safety programs, the

shooting competitions and

everything else that they have

as part of that, it all lends to

their advocacy efforts.

And so there's a large portion

that that is is part of that too

within CAA.

So I mean ultimately really you

know like you said, look made

the decision that A did to still

be involved with the industry.

I really do love the industry a

lot.

I want to continue to see it

flourish and and protected.

And the other part of it is, is,

you know, good decision for me

and my family and an opportunity

to to grow another organization

in similar ways, albeit very

different.

Than with the PCA that we've

already accomplished.

So I don't know if that really

kind of answered the thrust of

it, but that's kind of the

majority of of kind of how

everything kind of came to be in

the decision process.

I think it absolutely did answer

the question.

I appreciate that.

You and your family have to

relocate.

I'm sorry, I don't know where

both places is head.

No, no, I'm I, I am here just

outside of Washington DC and as

advocacy organizations are you

know Washington DC is is where

both organizations are located.

Oh, that worked out.

Well, so now, yeah, PCA coming

up, the next big trade show is

obviously in New Orleans, right.

Yeah.

And there's there's obviously

concerns about you know how

retailers are like oh we're

going to hang out together.

There's no like all of these

things and like it's different

blah, blah, blah.

Are you?

Are you going to have a little

chuckle to yourself if with with

when things implode to some

degree Because you're not like

smoothing these things over as

things are progressing or you

know?

You know, well, maybe a little

where where it might be just,

you know, some PTSD where I'll

be like, how am I not getting

it?

It's going to feel weird that

I'm not getting the phone calls.

No.

I actually, I think people are

going to be really surprised to

be honest with you, because

we've been working on this

already for several years with

New Orleans.

And I think people are going to

be really surprised at at the

we're actually probably going to

be able to have.

I keep saying we, I'm still part

of PCA for a few more weeks, but

I think people will be surprised

that the opportunity to be able

to hang out and smoke together

in cool places, particularly not

very far from the hotel or the

Convention Center in the

Warehouse District will actually

most likely be greater than

we've had in Las Vegas just

because of of a couple of

things.

Now the the couple of things #1

New Orleans really, really lost

us.

They like us were a big show for

them.

So they kind of rolled out the

red carpet for us to kind of,

you know, recruit us back to to

New Orleans.

And you know they they took it

upon themselves, the Convention

Center to go and lobby to get us

the exemption to smoke in the

trade in the convention hall

until 2035 and then they'll do

it again.

They got a 10 year exemption.

So they're going to do it again,

you know because they want us

there.

And so because of that they they

work with us a lot more with Las

Vegas.

We we're a we're a smaller show

for them.

It's a lot of times you know

we're kind of at their mercy,

right.

You know we're at their mercy

with all the labor union laws

that kind of get put into place

there And we we really have no

recourse with a lot of stuff

that happens in Las Vegas.

But Vegas is a great destination

for, for shows.

People love it and it's a smoke

friendly city obviously.

So a lot of, but there are

things.

But but the other aspect too is,

is that the trade show is a

very, very powerful tool in our

advocacy toolbox.

And so having the show there for

a couple of years, demonstrating

to the the people, to the mayor

and everything else that all the

tax revenue they get from it.

All of the other boost in

revenue that comes from all of

our guys eating and drinking

like crazy, like our, you know,

like our people do, you know,

it's a huge boost for for them

and they like it.

And it can be, you know what?

This is not the same thing.

We didn't, we didn't want to ban

this stuff.

We wanted to ban the other

stuff.

Right.

And so there's more social clubs

that are popping up right now in

New Orleans, private clubs where

you can smoke too.

But also because they want us

there, they've also given us

insights into, I'm not saying

that they'll ultimately decide

to do this.

This is something that we had

talked about, but we might even

it's really inexpensive.

But we might even, you know,

close off an entire block

outside right behind the hotels

where we can have tables and

lights and everything and people

could go get drinks and come and

sit down outside in this entire

sort of Old Town square type of

place where it could just be us

hanging out having cigars.

But we're also working, working

with the sugar mill that's

literally right across the

street from the the Convention

Center.

Like I think it's like 2000 plus

people venue, you know, food,

drinks, maybe some entertainment

depending upon, you know, maybe

some sponsorships that come in

there, but being able to hang

out and smoke and just have a

good time there.

Then you know for after hours

you can go get some great New

Orleans food and then come back

and just hang out and you can

walk across the street to your

hotel.

So it's really it's there's

really going to be a couple of

places where people will be able

to hang out all the time with

each other and just have a good

time and smoke cigars and get

some good drinks.

I love it, man.

Dude, thank you.

We're not going to keep you any

longer.

I really appreciate you being

totally open and honest with us

and just kind of nailing

everything, hitting hitting

nails right on the head with

answering all the questions.

And thank you so much for coming

on, dude, do you have anything

else to add, Palmer?

No, no, I I appreciate you

because through his little

medical debacle, let's just call

it he, he kept me in in the loop

with what was going on and when

he was available.

So that was very nice of you

too, Scott.

Thank.

You.

Yeah, man.

You're super thorough, dude.

We're going to miss you at PCA.

I'm going to tell you right now,

if if somebody has a complaint

about you, they're fucking

idiots.

Because, you know, I think that

you did a hell of a job.

You know that that PCA has

needed that what you provided

for that short period of time,

even though it was only six

years, You know, and I'm going

to hate to see him go, dude.

He almost didn't.

You single handedly run it

during the COVID stuff.

Weren't you down to just you?

Oh yeah, we made jokes about

Just Got.

Oh, you've you've called the

show before today.

This isn't the first time.

Handling.

You were handling fax messages

and all types of.

You.

Know what's funny about that is

that when we had to cancel the

show in 2020, it was in the

contract that I had to fax

notification.

And because like there was

millions of dollars on the line,

if we penciled it

inappropriately, I literally had

to sign up for like an E fax

account so that I could fax the

Venetian, the notification, the

cancellation.

And I was literally, I was

scrubbing the Internet to find

any and all lawyers I could

because it was like, you have to

have this person.

This person, Well, I didn't have

names.

I just had titles.

And so I was.

So it's funny.

Anyway, so you mentioned faxing,

so yeah, you know, for for a

time there it was me.

And then Josh was shortly after

where it basically.

And I kind of kept the lights on

there for just a few, a few

months until we could kind of

get it back and and start

bringing people back.

Summer was over.

Yeah.

Amazing dude.

Well, Scott, thanks again.

Thanks.

So much taking the time we

appreciate.

It now.

I appreciate you guys reaching

out.

It was very nice that you guys

were you know first media outlet

to reach out to to ask me to

actually have the conversation

about it.

So I really appreciate it and

yeah, like definitely won't be a

stranger.

I'll see you around on that.

We'll actually get to hopefully

attend the trade show and just

enjoy it as opposed to, you

know, having to run everything

so that.

'D be great.

So all.

Right, Scott.

Thank you.

Thanks so much.

Thanks, gentlemen.

Take care.

Appreciate it.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye, bye, bye.

Super nice guy.

The only media source to reach

out to?

Scott.

It's the biggest fucking hit in

the news for cigars.

And nobody thinks to.

Ask.

Hey, you know what, let's not

call Scott and ask the

questions.

We're going to call Latio

because he's got that new cigar.

Oh.

My God.

You know, he wasn't easy to

find.

Nobody's got?

I asked around the other media.

Guys.

Nobody's got his phone number.

Nobody had his e-mail address.

Probably because nobody came up

to him.

Now you got I guess.

The one you ever asked?

I don't know.

Hey, we had Antoine's, and

because of how his format was, I

just put Scott Pearson

beforehand.

Like, let's see if this goes

anywhere, Detective.

Palmer was all over it.

And then he gave me the phone.

Number like.

Here, take the number program

into phone.

Got it.

Now we're going to call CAA all

the time.

Got it.

Well, hey, you know what?

There's going to be other media

drops.

He's the president of the CAA.

How's that Coop Boom?

He's already mad.

I was gonna send you messages

like Facebook.

He's already mad at us, 'cause

he he did not stay in to Barry,

phone with Scott Pierce.

No, no, no.

I want.

I want him to see this later.

First of all, I want to know

what restaurant he went to in

the Barry, right?

Who goes?

They're not known for their fine

cuisine.

That's the real question.

Donald's.

They don't have.

One, they got a Dairy Queen.

They got a Dairy Queen.

Maybe there was a new Blizzard

Oh, maybe you took that out.

Maybe.

upside down, it's good.

Doesn't come out at all.

Oh, this is the saxophone.

Play the guy.

This is a music show that Coop

does.

Yeah, he used to.

He used to pair the music to the

cigar and then you could hear

the music.

But now you can't do that

anymore because two copyrights.

So I was.

Just like we're like, we're

about like we're about two,

we're going to change things,

too.

So now he talks about the

pairings and stuff.

Oh, they don't play any music.

Yeah, they review.

Albums stuff like.

That, but they don't play any.

No.

I thought they found some way

'cause, I mean, even it used to

be if it was less than, what was

it, 30 seconds, you could get

away with it.

That don't work anymore either.

hang tents over hundreds of

acres of tobacco plants.

They use a pale white fabric to

reduce the amount of sunlight

the plant my beard's coming now

put.

It on your nose.

The plants get creating a

softer, smoother wrapper leaf.

Funny pale white fabric is what

I like to use for my bathing

suit so that when it gets wet,

business.

Nice dude.

It doesn't make.

You're boiling meat.

Yeah, it doesn't make a sense.

Yeah, it makes sense for like a

restaurant to do it.

Why does it make sense for a

restaurant to?

Do it because it it cooks you

like you just have to hit it

real quick on a grill or

something afterwards, right?

Oh so you pre cook it to a

certain level and then oh.

It's the same thing, so.

Does it make sense for three

steaks or 4?

Do you have to throw it on a

grill afterwards?

Yeah.

So you cooked it twice?

Yeah.

You got to sear it, yeah.

You could take it to the hot pot

place with.

You Britney's just getting all

cross eyed over there.

Thank you, Scott.

And I did that move and my

business cards are a lot

smaller.

Yeah, it's a lot easier.

It's, you know what it is.

Here it is.

It's less bullshit for me and

it's more fucking long he's.

At the top right more he has

more people to do the work.

I got tired of the bullshit at

PCA, how long?

He said.

Should have asked him how long

until somebody else from PCA

follows you over.

Should ask that question.

I think he'd be like, no, I'm

sorry.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, We're not.

We're not hiring.

Yeah, we're at capacity.

Bombers, just to the point.

That's right.

We showed a decline compared to

the same period last year

despite experiencing growth in

net sales of handmade cigars and

next generation oral tobacco

free nicotine pouches.

These gains were counterbalanced

by decrease in sales of machine

made cigars and smoking tobacco.

The mixed performance I can't

the microphone's in the way.

The mixed performance

highlighted the evolving

landscape of the tobacco market

with shifting consumers

preferences, storing alternative

products St.

GS ability to navigate.

These changes will be crucial as

it seeks to maintain its

position in the industry.

All I can tell you is that

Justin Andrews, that

motherfucker's driving a Raptor

Hennessy edition, so he's

they're doing fine.

Raptor Hennessy Yeah, Hennessy

comes with alcohol.

No.

compare it, Michael.

Yeah, you can't.

You can't.

A Spanish now I don't.

Think it's I never spelled this

It was a Coraline.

Did you say it was a Coraline?

Or the half wheel said.

It's not a Coraline.

It's not being amazing.

I.

Sorry.

It runs together.

In a recent move, Dan Gallagher

has been appointed as new

president of the cigarette.

Can we talk about?

Talking about fucking rolling.

Sure we can't.

We talk about what we're.

Doing so, I think that it's

going to be like store

exclusives for specific shops or

something like that, is it?

Yeah, yeah.

I think Halfwell says is going

to be part of the court line.

I don't think that's the case.

Or I saw some on Facebook.

Are we allowed to talk about

that the?

I mean, it was.

On Face on Facebook.

So the issue with the I mean.

You Are you a member of a secret

to Facebook?

But the reality is that like

something just.

Something that came out in the

nights of the Ashes or

something.

Some things you say are not

accurate because you.

I saw.

Somebody said it have face of

gosh.

You get a little woohoo on you

that.

Sound like an argument about the

name.

OK.

All right.

Yeah, there was an issue.

So I guess somebody.

I guess somebody has it

trademarked overseas.

OK, well, that's not the United

States.

I understand, I understand that.

I'm just I'm trying to figure

this out like.

It depends on the country.

He might not be able to ship it

out with the name on it.

He's not shipping it out

anyways.

Where's he shipping it from?

No he's it's if it's AUS product

he has the trademark for the for

the US.

Yeah, that's what he said.

Yeah.

Yeah, big shocker.

I just don't know.

Well, in in China, if somebody

like if somebody went

copyrighted Cigar Hustler in

China, you could not ship

anything out of the country, he

said.

Cigar Hustler without paying

them.

Gotcha.

So I don't know if Nicaragua's

the same way.

Like if somebody in Nicaragua

went and you know well.

I own it now, yeah.

No.

Well, not and I, but I have

always.

Good luck with that.

You know, though, here's the

funny part is, man, I gotta tell

you, I don't know.

It's just 'cause I'm close with

a guy and we're friends and I

see all this shit.

That guy catches so much shit

from everybody.

It's fucking ridiculous.

I mean, my fucking God.

Give the guy a break.

You know, somebody went, looked,

somebody Googled it to see if

That's fair.

Why?

He's got a live in woman and

they do.

They had a cousin.

For a while, so you know if you.

You think they haven't played

All Hail the King in that chair?

I am king.

top of the Summa.

From my good friend, Human.

Torpedo.

My good friend Michael Herklux.

He has friended me on Facebook.

We are now more friends than him

and Matt Booth, it's confirmed.

Matt Booth hates that, Yeah.

He laughed.

I think.

It was.

It was an uncomfortable.

Laugh.

I think they're.

Pretty uncomfortable.

I think they are too.

He immediately called them after

you hung up.

He's like, hey man, I just heard

some bullshit on the phone.

Your friends.

Make sure we're still friends.

Guy that wouldn't be.

They rushed me off the phone.

I just want you to know, if they

become more friends than fucking

other, we got a fucking problem.

They hung up on me when I was

talking.

He.

Wouldn't let them tell my poop

joke.

I just want you to know I'm

going to load a shotgun with

jewelry and shoot it at you.

Oh, that'd be pretty cool.

Skulls.

Lots of skulls.

That would hurt, yeah.

Those are solid rings.

Matt Booth.

Jesus ring.

Fucking Oh yeah, Jesus Skull.

Yeah, the hot dog is probably

doing hot dog jewelry now.

Oh hey, the weekend that justice

took his first communion.

We had communion at my church

the same weekend.

Yeah.

Is that like the time you're?

Supposed to do?

Yeah, it's a.

Homer.

Makes sense?

I didn't know.

They only do it one day a year.

Yeah, no, they don't do it one

day a year.

No.

Catholics do it all the time you

have Communion.

Like the official letting in of

the communion to the kids.

Yeah, but it's the same.

Day.

No, no.

But like, they gave it to

everybody who went.

Yeah.

Oh, you know, it's cool.

It was in, you know, the little

Creamer containers.

It was a Creamer container.

And on top of it was the

cracker.

And you peeled that off and ate

the cracker.

And then you open the second

one, and you drank the well.

It's a COVID.

Edition It's like COVID

Friendly.

Yeah, it's like Plastic Jesus,

right?

Fantastic.

Somebody doesn't want.

I call the juicy cookies.

Yeah, there's no juice and

cookies this week.

What happened?

Where's my juice and cookie?

There's a snack.

Oh, you don't get it every week?

No.

Oh, that's that's what I mean.

They don't do it every week.

They happened, though did it the

same weekend that Justice did.

Oh, so the Suma is 17.7g. 17.7

for a torpedo, it's pretty good.

Well, I guess when you're pre

packaging your geez, it's it

gets pretty expensive.

So maybe they don't do that

every week.

Very, very small.

Very teeny tiny.

Not regular.

You know the bigger.

Not like a Ridge cracker, more

like a.

More process.

Yeah, yeah.

It's like a baby aspirin.

No, it's bigger than that.

It's like.

M&M.

But they didn't tell you when

you get there, they just have

this thing like, you know,

they're handing them to as you

go in and you're looking at it,

shaking and go, what are we

doing?

This why can't somebody figure

out?

Just give me an M&M instead.

You know what's funny?

Is candy is not the bread or

blood of Christ.

You know.

Tastes good though.

Did I tell you that Justice

drank the one?

No.

Oh dude, that was this fucking

craziest thing.

Irish was grape juice.

No, they they won't let you do

it in Catholic.

It's got to be.

It's got to be, yeah.

It's got to be a real deal.

So, so we're, Brittany and I are

having this whole debate like,

are you going to drink the wine?

Like, I'm not fucking drinking

the wine.

Like we're not doing this the

way everybody else touching this

wine.

This is disgusting.

Oh yeah, the.

Germ.

Yeah.

You didn't have to be first.

No, so.

I have to go first, so I'm like,

wait, I have germ issues.

Objection.

So I'm like, so I'm like, wait a

second.

That cup being cleaned.

Like, does Justice have to drink

the wine?

And they're like, yeah, Justice

going to drink the wine.

Fuck.

So as we're going up.

Yeah, they take that little

napkin, just wipe it.

Dude, well, Justice drank the

wine, so I drank the wine.

I couldn't.

I just.

I couldn't just in case.

No.

Go alone.

No.

It's like here's what it boils

down.

Maybe This is why I get so angry

on Sunday.

Here's what a no This is the

following week.

I just still hopped up on the

one.

Yeah, problem.

So I just, I can't ask him to do

something and then me not do it.

Well, he fucking did.

It Does he know you have German

Jews?

Does he know it doesn't matter?

Does he know?

Well, yeah, but he might.

I mean, he might not have known

you were supposed to.

Either way, I don't care if he

knows or he doesn't know what.

Would you have to do with it

came do it with give me.

It's gonna be like, no, I'm

good.

Oh God, what you like it was?

Oh, you made her look bad for

the kid.

This was like a spur of the

moment thing for me.

What, was he gonna tap him?

I think I'm going for it like

the.

Gobble The gobble came over and

he was like he.

Doesn't lead to.

Grab her and go.

Don't leave.

We're drinking the wine.

We're going together.

You did it.

You drank the wine.

I'm sorry.

I look like it is.

She drinks wine all the time.

She wouldn't have cared.

Yeah, you you know, you got the

blood of Jesus flowing through

you at this point.

Come on, you practically are

Jesus.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, you.

Are you made of those?

Prepackaged deals, is that you?

Yeah.

She's yeah, she's just one more,

a little cup, one more job for

Brittany.

Hey, if you could just go ahead

and build all this for us then.

All right.

Because she's so involved with

the church, right?

She's not.

Really involved with the church.

She's involved with the school.

Oh, I don't know what to do.

With the Church 0 they have

those other women that do that

that wear the hats.

But we missed the rehearsal.

But we we did pretty good I

think.

We missed the communion

rehearsal.

Yeah, we had football.

Oh, yeah, But you've seen it

before.

It's not like we've lived it.

You didn't know what it was.

Yeah, the other kids already

done it.

Yeah.

Fucking.

Rehearsal.

Where do you rehearse them?

You gotta like when you get up

and when you that's.

Just more times you would have

to drink the wine.

I feel like that you get up

every 10 seconds.

Catholic Church we're talking.

About a Catholic Church, but

we're talking about like the kid

when the kid is gets his first

communion.

Like how that?

Works.

We did fine.

We just had a friend whose

mother passed and they they were

Catholic, but we opted out of

the Catholic service.

We went to the funeral and the

viewing but opted out of the

service.

And I was explaining to Adrian

Wise.

She goes, how do you know you're

not Catholic?

I've been before.

I mean, yeah.

You find the old lady in the

front and you watch her.

She gets up, you get up, she

gets underneath.

You get on your knees.

I've been to she was.

Everybody doesn't have to do it.

I go, yeah, you do.

I've been to beds with his bar

messes.

I know.

I gotta wear the lid, you know

what I mean?

Like, yeah, I've been to.

A Jewish funeral.

If you don't do it, you look

like a jerk.

Right.

Everybody's watching you.

Oh, wait.

Including God.

But realistically, you shouldn't

take communion if you're not

Catholic.

I've never done Catholic

communion right.

Lutheran Church, I've done it

there.

That's fine.

Yeah, they have.

They're all not distribution,

right?

Well, you're not.

I don't think you're allowed to

take communion.

You're not supposed to you.

Can't take Catholic unless

you're Catholic.

Yeah, or a liar.

I have had the cracker before

because the.

Guy in the booth before.

My first wife snuck it back.

She didn't put it in her mouth,

'cause I was asking questions.

So she she went to put it in and

then put it in her palm and then

brought it back to me.

Wow.

You're in trouble.

What?

Yeah, yeah, it does.

It's very dry.

You're going to hell.

That was it.

That's.

What happens when you set the

roof?

Around.

That's the reason when I get

there.

So I see the GS at the I.

See, you eat the GS at

unofficially, you're you know we

can't.

You know all these other issues,

right?

Don't really.

I mean, you know.

From the guy who was on my show,

that would be the least thing

I've done for not getting in I.

Don't know.

I disagree with some of the

things the guy said.

Like, look, the guy died for my

sins, I should be OK.

Well, sorry.

It depends on the ruling

Lutherans.

That's the way they figure.

You don't have to confess your

sins because that's what Jesus

did.

Yeah, he did that.

Yeah, he he paid the check.

So now anybody is.

Catholic, Catholic.

I cover it via payment, right?

Yeah, basically like, very

sorry.

Right, yeah, very sorry.

And you have to go tell the

priest what you did wrong.

I mean, there's a couple of them

you have.

The box you don't.

You don't go to confession.

Nah.

Do you make the kids go to

confession?

Nah.

We're we're part time.

Catholics, do they still have

the box?

Just enough to get into the

school.

Yeah, yeah, we we show up.

They don't do the box no more.

The box is gone.

You got to talk to the guy.

In front of everybody?

No.

Oh.

You don't go in the little.

There's like, there's like A

room.

Yeah.

Oh, there's not a screen.

You go look him in the eye.

I don't want to look at him in

the.

Phone.
