corded.
Live at the Mike and Mike

business and life.

people in cigar industry.
And me, I'm the engineer in
sound tech.
Phil, whether you're season
aficionado or new to cigars,

Sit back, relax and light up a
cigar with cigars.
Just podcasts.
We've eliminated paper, I texted
that to him.
Bing bong.
Really.
Now he just reads it off his
phone.
Bing bong, Bing bong.
I put that on.
Him.
We're going green, Bing.
Bong man.
What?
What does that mean?
We're going green.
Oh, I thought something.
Happened, you texted me and

Going green that way to say stop

Stop recording.
Is that what green means?

So how was your weekend?
Well, we haven't had one yet.
We're doing this show early.
This is pre recorded for for
your enjoyment.
We are.
We're doing it for two reasons.
One is you're going to be out of
town next week and we could have
done some kind of Zoom, yada
yada.
Sure.
But I think it's more important
that we show our listeners and
our viewers that we're making
some progress.
How come when you travel we get
to do the remotes, when I travel
we have to squeeze in?
I just explained to you why
we're doing.
It he wanted to see them.
Because because you've been
working diligently on this.
We, Michael, we.
OK, we have been working
diligently on this.
I wouldn't mind Jedi.
Jedi, that was.
And we're making some and we're
making some progress here, and I
think it's important that we
show that.
They make these cables that you
can HDMI to your phone.
Yeah, I'm gonna buy one just so
we can play with the other
connections, see if we can run
it as another camera.
OK, I'm pretty close to buying
another camera, just so you
know, do.
You win the lottery or something
over there.
What are you doing?
No, I haven't.
I haven't won the lottery.
Actually took out a refi.
We haven't do.
Is that what that meeting was
for?
Did you just refi the entire
building?
No, take the equity.
Take the equity out of the
shopping Plaza.
No, but let me let me make
something perfectly clear and I
know I've said this to you
before.
Yes.
I believe in this, yes.
We've been doing it for five
years.
Eight years, Michael, the
podcast.
Yeah, it's been more than five
years.
No, it's not sure it.
Is episode 341 this?
Is our fifth.
This is our fifth year.
Seems longer.
I'm glad that it feels like 8
for you.
Feels like 8.
We've been doing it for five
years, all right, and I want it.
What?
Boy, do we make money.
Maybe you're 10.
OK, wait, I'll do a different
what?
Wait, what year do we stop
spending money?
Well, you've stopped spending
money.
I don't have any, Michael.
Neither do I, but I'll continue
to invest and continue to build
this thing.
All right?
And you know, if we finally have
ironed out the next step, yes,
we've linked the camera in.
We have the right lens.
It's going into a board.
The boards were probably
recording at 1080P, so we'll
eventually have to fix that.
But before we.
But I mean it looks.
It's like at the screen though I
mean it looks.
Good.
Well, the screen.
Yeah, you're talking about the
zooming thing.
Well, no, the overall recording.
Yeah, are we touching feet?
No, we're not touching feet.
We're touching feet.
Hector can't stand this, by the
way.
To see your feet.
No.
That we face each other.
Yeah.
When we give two more people,
yeah, well, sure.
I mean, basically people now are
just paying for us to talk to
each other.
We can put a camera upstairs by
your desk where my chair is.
That's.
What this whole show's been
about for the last five years.
But yeah, the reality is that
they don't pay for anything on
the Regular Show.
Well, no.
The patrons.
Patrons.
Don't Yeah, the the people that
truly love and.
Support.
So anyway, what I meant to say,
if there's two other people, do
we just another chair there,
another chair there?
Oh, you can remember.
Then we then we turn.
Yeah, you.
Modify this.
OK.
Does that 'cause if you look at
the shot, yeah, it's from this
chair to that chair, yeah.
So does it zoom out or do we
have to move the camera?
Probably have to move the camera
back because.
There's not a whole lot of room
without putting it in the other
room.
We'll figure it out.
Well, I'm trying to learn as we
go, Michael, instead of.
Just and we are.
No, no, we normally just buy
something to panic.
We learn as we go.
I mean, realistically at the end
of the day, what you can do is
you can leave that there.
You can add two people and you
can just do 2 separate shots
with your cameras.
Well, I figured that's what we
do like we did before.
It'd be a four shot and then you
know, 1 camera shoots me and
whoever and one camera shoots
you and whoever.
What's important though this
week is that the sound is fixed
again, because man, did you get
a lot of a.
Lot of complaints last week
about the.
Humming.
Look, it's a process.
Man, it's fine.
We're doing.
We're doing everything we
possibly can to get better and
better and better so.
Yes, 'cause now Espinosa's gonna
sponsor the show.
No, he's not.
Oh wow.
No, he's not mine.
Espinoza can sponsor down to
Herf.
No, we don't get as much money
that way.
I know, but at least it'll cover
a camera.
No it won't.
Yes it will.
Depends how much they pay.
As long as I facilitate the
deal.
Oh.
OK.
Oh, it'll cover all three
cameras.
Drinking cameras for everybody.
Oh yes.
Well, I have camera crews
following us around.
Yeah.
I I kind of look like looking at
the back of his head now.
I just can't wait to see him at
work flipping the cameras.
Well, he used to do it before,
but he touched the screen.
But he always complained about
it.
It was delayed.
Well, yeah, there's no delay on
that.
It's live.
Yeah, it's direct feed, direct
feed stuff.
So the for so as far as the week
is gone, I've just done some
football practicing.
I went to Cigars on the Ave.
Oh, did you?
Yep, hanging with them for a
little bit.
Man, that guy's just, he's a
hell of a dude.
Do you see Perla del Mar's there
apparently?
Who's Perla Del Mar?
It's a cigar from Fuente.
Yeah, Greg.
Greg Junior and men.
Now he goes.
Pete Earnest wants them in The
Star.
Yeah, he got one that's like a
lower end.
Yeah, I've heard of it, just you
admit, he said.
That's where he got it went the
other day.
Oh really?
Yeah, it must have been
rummaging.
He said there was a big box.
I'm right inside the humidor.
Interesting.
On the lower shelf.
So was that for the birthday?
No, that was just for just to
hang out date night with the
missus.
Oh.
Yeah.
Take it to a cigar.
Shop, it's a nice spot.
Well, so we went to Linda's La
Cantina.
Perfect steakhouse.
And the only reservation I get
was at 8:00 and I already booked
the sitter at six so.
Time to go.
Yeah, I see.
So yeah, let's go to the shop.
And a story pulled up and then I
touched the screen and it went
off.
What was that?
Was the steak good?
The steak was really good.
Everything else is kind of May.
The sides.
Yeah, the sides, the apps.
It kind of reminded me back of
my old bar days.
Oh, that bad?
Was that the first time?
The wine glasses.
Or like you'd tell that.
Nobody cared.
Well, they're they're set like
our steaks are really good.
Fuck off.
It should.
It should be there.
We do one thing really well.
Yeah, I mean so much to a point
where I think that there's this
one guy maintaining and making
sure.
That, oh, in the kitchen.
Yeah, because I saw a note on
the door that said June 30th to
July 17th we're going on
vacation, so we're closed.
Yeah, just one guy.
Yeah, the the probably the man
that owns the place.
Yeah, or Linda.
Where's Linda?
Linda's La Cantina.
It's.
Called Oh, Linda's La Cantina.
Yeah.
Is it a Mexican restaurant?
No.
La Cantina.
Just that.
Maybe.
No.
I mean, but they didn't have
like calamari or anything like
that.
You thought it was like more of
an Italian vibe, but it's not.
They do 'cause they have
spaghetti.
They have spaghetti, but they
don't have calamari.
Linda's La Cantina specialized
in Italian.
And the mozzarella sticks.
They call them cheese sticks.
Delicious.
Oh.
Just frozen ones, they don't
make them from scratch.
I.
Don't know, did they make them
from scratch I.
Don't know, they're delicious.
Oh, you had them?
Yes.
So yeah, we did that.
That was really cool.
Oh, good.
I enjoyed that a lot.
And yeah, football, football got
rained out on one and these
kids, dude.
Yeah, wait, you playing football
again already?
I'm, I'm practicing with them,
yeah.
Wasn't that long.
There was no break.
About a month.
Yeah, November.
It was always like a month.
Yeah, but it didn't seem like it
was a month.
Yeah, the summer's flying.
By it goes quick.
My wife's already back to work.
Yeah, she's gone.
Yeah.
Good to see you.
Right, right, summer's over.
Well, you're going on vacation
the next week.
Right, but she should be at
work.
But she'd already had Subs.
She was like, sorry, I gotta, I
can't do that week.
I gotta go on vacation.
I have a trip.
Going on the trip, Yeah.
So we're gonna do a little LFD
event tonight upstairs.
Oh.
Very excited about that.
And now Mr. Carney will not be
in attendance.
No, he will not be in.
Attendance.
Oh, good.
I've been advertising he was
gonna be there all week.
Perfect.
Great, just go upstairs and tell
her where you're John.
Carney All I need All I need is
some Crocs in a red, white and
blue headband.
Listen, nobody gives a fuck if
he's there or he's not there.
Well, I thought he might be
somewhat of a draw.
Is Leo still coming, or was
since he was here yesterday?
He's not coming either.
He's not coming, He's not
coming.
All right, you get Caribbean
cigars on the phone.
We need the script for his.
Complaints and we're going to.
Start doing it as soon as we get
upstairs.
Start doing videos.
No, those guys are my friends.
I understand that you're well.
He was friends with the guys at
the Crown Head so.
They show up, they ask for a
pass.
I'm like no problem.
I wonder why Leo was here a day
early.
No, that's why.
Yeah.
If I do that way, come up and
got a cigar from him before I
left yesterday.
He asked to give you 10, he said
are your is, is he around?
I want to give him a cigar.
Around.
He sat there for 45 minutes.
I guess he's forgot.
He sat in fill seat and ashed on
the floor, if you remember
correctly, and you went Palmer
cleaned it up.
Did I say that?
Jesus?
Don't worry about it, Palmer.
Don't worry.
Palmer gave it as you guys were
walking out the door.
He like he left his stir sticks
in the ash straight too by the.
Way from his coffee.
And did I didn't want to say
anything because I figured, oh,
I'll get this cigar from Leo.
No, you say it.
You said you weren't going to
say it, but you say.
It I said it now because
apparently he didn't leave me
one.
I saw him on the avenue too.
He was there.
Boy, oh, he was invited to your
dinner too.
No, we didn't.
Wasn't invited dinner, whatever,
that's fine.
It wasn't.
Carney was actually cooking the
steaks, right, Carney?
That's why he needs a vacation.
Why the sides were bad.
It was potatoes, yeah.
They were raw.
Potatoes are cooked fine.
The potatoes are cooked fine.
He put up something on Facebook
about potatoes the other day,
Yeah.
He's not a good potato cooker.
No, not a potato guy.
He's.
Not really a potato guy.
No, he's wearing meat.
Not a potato.
Yeah.
So that went well, man.
You know, I like, I enjoy
conversations with good
retailers and he's a good
retailer.
So you're sitting around, you
have a conversation and, you
know, and it was cool because
Brittany was there with me and
we know, like, I don't know, she
got kind of a taste of it,
right?
Like.
Sure, she's terribly excited.
I think that she wants.
Something and they're talking
work.
Nice.
OK, good.
There was wine.
Oh, she's fine.
Yeah, yeah.
What's the new bread and butter
wine we have upstairs?
That's for her.
I assumed but it just it didn't
sound high fluting enough for
whatever.
High.
Fluting enough high.
Fluting high, fluting German.
No, that's not the country.
It's a it's a country.
Turn dog.
Didn't seem fancy enough for
Miss Brittany.
Bread and butter.
Bread and butter.
Could you think of bread and
butter and Pickles?
Well, those are delicious.
Well, by the time this comes out
I would have solved the Charles
and Charles problem.
So oh was.
That right 'cause we couldn't
get Charles in charge.
Yes, you couldn't.
We can.
Charles and Charles.
Yeah, it's not the show.
Oh, it's.
Not the show, Scott Peyote
didn't come to your house.
No.
Oh, that's a good show.
Speaking of which, Speaking of
shows, are you updated on The
Boys?
I watched it yesterday.
Actually, there was.
The whole episode of the farm,
yes.
Oh my God.
Yeah, yeah.
Spoiler alert In the hospital,
yeah.
That was a really good episode.
The thing is so bloody and
brutal all the time.
They've really, really, I
thought that that didn't think
they'd get darker.
Oh no, they've, no, they're.
They've really turned it up.
From where?
Whatever his name is, killed
everybody at the old place where
he grew up.
But I was a different person.
He's saying, hey, well.
You can do what everyone do
something.
Same person.
I love that.
Oh that girl beating the shit
out.
Of the guy, and rightfully so.
Made me feel good.
I was like, this is awesome,
'cause that guy's fucking
abusing his power, you know,
trying to fucking make it
awkward for the intern.
But now the kid was slurping his
breast milk.
Milkshake or whatever?
No, it's a different milkshake.
I.
Don't.
I don't know, I figure at this
point they're just going to be.
But then he got the most evil
little grin on his face as the
girl's beating his shit out.
He was doing good.
Again, he wasn't doing good.
Hit him again.
Fuck yeah it was.
Hit him again.
Yeah.
I loved it.
House of Dragons.

Dragons?

starting.
Little.
Slow.

new, I watch.
Anything that's not a rerun at
this point, I'm like, oh God.
So yeah, we had a great Patreon.

Covered a lot.
Yes we did.
Got some different perspectives
on things I.
Forgot what to go.

was.
What drug thing?
The show.
Ozark Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,

There, right.
They have a lake house.
They have two lake houses.
We're going there for the 4th of
July week.
Perfect.
Yeah, it sounds really nice.
And we're getting a we're going
parasailing one day, and he's
hired a boat to drive us around
one day.
Parasailing in the air.
Yeah, I've never done that.
I'm looking forward to that.
Oh man, it's gonna only go one
or two ways.
Up or down?
Well, you're either gonna like
it or you're not gonna.
Like it, right?
Yeah, exactly.
It's gonna be weird being a lake
with no alligators.
That's that's just not a thing
we deal with.
Yeah.
I It'd be awesome if you got
attacked by an.
Alligator.
It would, yeah.
Yeah.
Is there anything else in there?
Why are you wishing to harm my
people when they traveled?
You hope Jack's plane crashed.
Well, Jack was being.
And now you want me to get
attacked and eaten by an
alligator?
Listen, Jack Kroner was being an
ass.
OK, then why do you want me
dead, killed by an alligator in?
Missouri.
I just think it'd be funny.
Oh, it'd be hilarious.
Florida man gets.
Attacked by an alligator in
Missouri, right?
Yeah.
Isn't there other things in
their lakes though?
Snakes.
No, not really.
I mean, there's a lot of traffic
as I understand it.
I'm more rewarded by get hit by
another.
Boat.
Yeah, that's probably a bigger
concern.
Yeah, and when it floods, that
there are cemeteries around the
edges and they go underwater.
That's fantastic, 'cause I
didn't go last year so I just.
Had to start.
I started look well, I guess the
lake gets bigger every year.
Somebody fucked up this whole,
you know, climate change, right?
We.
Love the view for all of our.
Right.
I love the love the view there
on the shore.
Yeah, he will always remember
the lake, especially when he's
in it.
Especially when he's underneath
the the water.
That'd be.
Great, this just end. 10 dead
bodies floating.
Oh my Lord.
Well, it's just that they don't
come out.
So I mean, apparently maybe
there's concrete Crips on the
water or something.
The things they put them in.
No, no, they don't.
They don't pop up.
I saw footage of headstones and
things underwater.
I love that sounds great.
I.
Can't wait for those.
Sure, should be a good time,
right?
I guess when was the last time
you took like a whole week
vacation?
It's been years are you do.
You think you're gonna function

Then I come down here and go to
Dana's show, which she was in a
terrible mood or did steroids

She was very angry, super
aggressive.
So that's 'cause the thing was
on TV.
No, they didn't talk about that
very briefly.
She's yelling at Eric and.
To scream at him.
Huh.
And then she's asking him to
explain something, so he's
trying to explain it and she's
just mocking him the whole time
he's explaining.

report.
Are you wearing?
Are you wearing your Spanx at
all or no?
No, no, I only did The One Show
and you could really tell.
I could have put the fluffy
shirt on.
It seems to work well, yeah, but
I just didn't care today.
You've given up.
I've given.
Up.
You've accepted it.
Well, this is black.
It doesn't look as bad.
Oh yes, it does look right
there.
Joshua Bersky's been named the
new executive director of the
Premium Cigar Association as the
industry trade group that
focuses on retailers.
This motherfucker, I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm.
Going to do whatever they is.
Yeah, whatever they asked for
me.
Well, I guess they asked you to
be the the boss.
Is that a bath?
Being the boss is good.
No, he's seem like a good.
Yeah, but it with the the term
he is executive director, that's
not really the boss, is what
Scott Pierce told.
Me, well, he just, you know, The
thing is like we interviewed
both of them, right?
And Scott's got a little more
zip to it.
Sure, he's a little more open, a
little more fluent.
Just he's.
He spit the boss longer.
Yeah, he he knows how to handle
himself.
Josh has got to learn that,
sure, to some degree.
Right.
He sounded more like a numbers
guy type thing.
Yeah, yeah.
And they probably paid him half,
so you get half the person.
Oh, there you go.
Right.
OK, no pizzazz.
You just get the.
Yeah, so you're not as
charismatic as Scott.
Well, I mean, look at the
terrible photos.
Of yeah.
There is a better photo out
there floating around now.
Yeah, the image on on the half
wheel.
Yeah, right.
You gotta love the whole suit
thing.
I'm not a suit guy.
No, I'm not either.
Yeah, either.
And it's not if I got that job
of being the fucking same
T-shirt.
Right.
Yeah, like, oh, why aren't you
in a suit?
Because fuck you.
I don't want, I don't want to be
in a suit.
It's not a good suit.
It's not a good suit and.
That a good shirt.
It's it's just PCA money.
It's not CAA money.
Well, that's true.
If it was CAA money.
Yeah, Scott Pierce wanted a
tuxedo all the time.
You've seen the other guy?
Looks like James Blind loop his
fucking.
He's got the fucking spinning
boat bow tie all time.
Yeah, that guy crushes it.
Let's see, he's a Well, given
that Berski was serving as the
deputy executive director as
well as head of government
affairs, uh huh.
This promotion is seen as a
likeliest option.
Oh, so had to.
Well, there's nobody else here.
Nobody wants to do it.
I guess, I guess it'll be you.
How?
About you, Antoine.
You want to be in charge?
No, I don't want to do it.
That's.
Not how that's what sounds.
No, thank you.
That's.
Not how he sounds either.
That was closer, and April
Hoberski added a third title
interim executive there.
He's a bargain.
Look at all these, all these
jobs he's doing.
You get the, you get the
quaaludes, you get.
It sounds like a Palmer.
He was named intern executive
director after Scott Pierce, the
PC as former executive director,
announced that he was leaving
because he was getting more
money somewhere else.
Hoberski joined PCA in 2019 as
the head of the Federal Affairs.
Sounds.
Big.
It does.
It sounds fancy.
I'm.
The federal.
A press release says that he
will continue to serve as the
organization's chief lobbyist.
Yeah, that means he can pay
people to have us shut down.
Executive.
Director Hey, Cigar Houses
podcast, gotta go.
Yeah, make sure they shut that.
They didn't say nice things.
Let's talk about my pay.
Yeah, he won't be on the show
again.
Abersky is the highest.
Maybe we should get him on now
while we're talking now.
Congratulations.
Hey, we we said you were gonna
be president.
You said no.
So what happened?
So yeah, why'd you try and
downplay it, man?
And I said, yeah, I'm pretty.
I'm pretty much a shoo in.
Where else they gonna go?
Who else they gonna get?
Who else they gonna ask?
Antoine, he's 12, yeah.
He's. 12 Wow, he's a very small.
Little He's the only guy that
fucking responds to us like
Johnny on the spot.
Not anymore.
And that was we've been
blacklisted in PCA by it's.
Official.
They buy him a damn.
We should give him our old
camera.
Yeah, he has to use his iPhone
when he interviews people.
Does he really?
He interviewed you with an
iPhone.
Antoine Yeah, Do you?
Remember Antoine?
At PCA.
Remember the little guy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Habersky's honored and excited
to lead the Premiums Guard
Association into the next
chapter.
I am.
Yeah.
Let's get Antoine some good
fucking equipment.
I mean for.
Fun.
He's a social media director.
He's the representative of PCA.
Right.
You are 100% correct.
I'm very fortunate to have the
opportunity to work well.
Maybe since Abersky's doing 4
different jobs they can free up
a little.
Money.
I want to see my membership dues
go somewhere and I think we
should go into the equipment of
Antoine.
Maybe you could pay next year's
dues with a camera.
Oh I I don't have the money, but
this is for and.
We'll give him a chair, too.
And a blue chair.
It's a nice blue chair.
The press release did not say
whether the organization plans
to fill the deputy executive
director role.
That position has not been used
prior to Habersky's promotion in
early 20220.
So they just made-up a job for
him?
Yeah, back in 2022.
Yeah, so he's gonna have to do
that as well, you know what I
mean?
That's what they said, you know.
You did such a good job at being
the 2nd.
OK, so who's gonna fill that
role?
Well, you know, we're gonna
leave that one kind of empty and
you're just gonna make the same
amount of money.
There you go.
Oh, here we talk about this.
It's.
A lateral move.
No.
He's probably making more money.
I'm just saying that his second
why is he he never he Why?
Don't you ever mute that?
Yeah, yeah, we're gonna get
comprimented from you.
Right.
Maverick's gonna shut us down.
Yeah.
Great.
Great, another hit from you 2.
Another five foot one person
angry at us.
Only short people get mad at us
man.
Alden is Sealy.
Punch down, punch down.
This might have been what we
some we were talking about the
other day.
Altidus, Cle Oliva and Rocky
Patel bring back the Traveling
Roadshow for 2024.
Oh yeah.
The summer of 2024 cigar
companies teamed up for a series
of multi city city events to
sell cigars to retailers.
Dubbed the Traveling Roadshow,
the hope was to serve as a
replacement for the 2020
convention and trade show.
The the annual Midsummer trade
show was canceled that year due
to COVID.
Oh yeah, that's why they did it.
Well, they were looking so.
So successful, they're bringing
it back four years.
Later.
So here's what's happening is
the PCA is what Q1 beginning at
Q2 now, sure, instead of it
being Q3, right.
So they're trying to figure out
a way to have their summer sales
still be up.
Everybody's used to it, yeah.
So it's like, so it's almost
like a double dip.
It's like, hey, well, we got the
PCA.
Is that maybe the same reason
they were doing the thing we
talked about?
Of course, that's exactly why
those things are happening,
because they they're trying to
offset.
Right, we can't have the slump
in the slump screws up our
Ediba.
We need a solid EBITA.
EBITA, yeah, or Abita, as you
like to say.
I almost said enema.
Which is like a great band
dancing queen.
ABBA, I'm my rabbits from my age
group.
All right, the four companies
are participating.
Are we already mentioned what?
Are they talking about?
Altadis Altadis, Cle Asylum,
Oliva Cigar Company and Rocky
Patel.
So not, not really anything we
need to hear.
They're just 4 mainstream
brands.
Right, let's see, where are they
going to be?
That have over inflated their
cigars.
That's all I'm going to.
We'll give you a deal.
Well, CL ES doesn't really fit
into that.
So it's interesting to hear them
as a part of it.
So weird, the only they're
starting, they must be starting.
Oh, that's why they're starting
in Naples.
Oh yeah, and they're not
stopping anywhere else in
Florida.
Well, that's where Burn is.
Right, that's where they're
starting.
Oh, big shocker.
Right.
And then after that, they're
going to Pittsburgh to a burn.
Yeah, and then they're gonna hit
a Casa de Monte Cristo along the
way.
They're gonna hit a Casa.
All right.
And then after Pittsburgh,
they're going to an Indian
casino, OK.
Where's the Indian casino?
In Washington.
Oh, so they're obviously not
driving the bus that they show
the picture of?
No, no.
No, 'cause then they'd be going
from Naples to Pittsburgh to
Washington, Yeah, to Cleveland.
No, the big dogs are flying in
and flying out.
Right, a little less.
It doesn't sound as big of a
deal.
No, it's just four guys showing
up with a briefcase.
Yeah.
I mean, I would, I would like to
see something, you know, like
pull up.
The bus.
Walk me in.
Show me the where's.
Like the four guys go in and
there's like some type of death
match.
Oh, you wanna fight?
Maybe there's a title involved,
you know, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
Could be.
World champion Rocky Patel
defends his title against
Christian Arroa Cle.
You know what I mean?
Something like that.
Oh, they here they go.
Morrisville, NC.
They're going to catch.
That's where the tag team match
is happening.
That's where the Casa de Monte
Cristo is that you were so
concerned about.
The tag team cage match.
Oh, they're going to a
restaurant.
Oh, in August.
And that's the that's the
Tombstone match.
Oh, then Dallas and other Casa.
Somebody winds, it has to wind
up in in a tomb like a coffin or
whatever coffin match like
Undertaker did back in the day.
How far apart is Dallas and
Houston?
Who's the L to this guy?
Three hours.
They don't say.
They don't give people's names,
they don't say who's going So,
so really it's just gonna be the
Rep.
From the Yeah, so nobody's
fucking traveling.
Yeah, nobody's traveling.
Nobody's traveling.
Right, it's the Rep from.
The air, yeah, yeah, the four,
the four reps.
The traveling roadshow.
Yeah, it's it's, yeah, right.
You know, it sounds good at
traveling, but the reality is
that the show pops up at
different spots, but not people.
Right, yeah, your regular Rep
comes.
In all right, so then here's
what I want to see.
I want to see a tournament of
the reps I want to see battles
happen in each individual one,
and then whoever wins advances
at the end.
Like we'll do a a single
elimination.
But it's a different guy each
time.
Yeah, yeah.
So we'll, we'll do a single
elimination and then they'll
have to, we'll have to figure
out who's like the home team and
then like they'll fight, but.
It's always the home team.
Yeah, Yeah.
So like in Naples, it's the
four, it's the four reps for,
right?
Right, right.
So what happens is like so they
win.
So whoever wins, so.
Those four guys fight, yeah.
And then?
Whoever wins, yeah.
And then the four guys fight in
Pittsburgh and then whoever has
more revenue out of that, like
let's say the alt of this guy
succeeds, then the Naples guy
has to go and fight, right?
And then the other two spots,
same scenario, right?
And then you have one ultimate
Who?
Yeah, it's no longer the
traveling roadshow.
It's the traveling deathmatch of
the sales reps.
The final show's in Kansas City
at Outlaws, so that would be a
good place.
Perfect.
They get some.
Yeah, they have tanks and
helicopters, all types, all
types of shit.
It'd be perfect there.
You know, I really feel like
they missed the mark on that
one.
Yeah, you know, I'm so
disappointed.
Now there's no bus and there's
no traveling.
There's no bus, there's no
traveling.
It's.
Not a traveling Rd. show.
It's four.
It's.
And nobody fights.
It's your Rep comes and sees
you.
Like what are So what are we
selling here?

a couple commas in their
purchases.
You know, I've seen some more
fucking podcast like clips now
'cause it's feeding more on my
feed and some of the shit that
these guys talk.
Oh, because you watch other.
Ones yeah, I don't it's like,
well, you know, let's talk about
the cigar rights and I'm like
what the fuck?
I just you know well our cigars
are different than other tobacco
We're why are we being I'm like,
what what the fuck are you
talking about what are you
talking about?
This is this is issues.
You're going back 20 years, man,
Like style.
Somebody reviewed the the
Chokwe.
What?
Which one?
The Ragusto.
Carojo Ragusto.
Yeah.
Oh, what'd it get?
Oh yeah, just skip all that.
Skip the serial talk.
Yeah.
What's the number?
Oh, it's bad.
Don't read the number.
Don't read.
The number Tell me, tell me,
tell me 86.
No, it's worse.
It's worse than an 86.
Wait, wait, wait.
He's rating.
It 82.
It's Charlie.
Oh man, No lower.
It's in the 70s.
Yeah, it's on the Ouch.
Many years ago I remember
hearing Pete Johnson of Tutwahe
comment on the idea that Cuban
cigars must be aged in order to
achieve their potential.
His comment was something along
the lines of bad tobacco that
has been aged in the humidor for
five years is still bad tobacco.
Oh, this can't be good.
His comment has stuck with me
for its simplicity and universal
application.
I have borrowed that hypothesis
to also apply to draw issues.
A cigar that was bunched
improperly is still going to be
bunched improperly after five
years in the.
Humidor so he had a draw issue.
In this case, it's more like a
cigar that was bunched too
tight.
It's still going to have a bad
draw after two years and a
humidor.
It's a shame because there's
plenty to like about the
Chokweed Dose 77.
It does taste good.
It just got a plugged on.
How complex the flavor profile
should be despite not having
many different flavors.
I'd love to see Chokery return
for a three-point O era as I
enjoyed the vast majority of
cigars I smoked from Victor
Nicholas.
Unfortunately, this release is
just never one upped them.
Yeah.
So was it just a draw issue or
was it a taste I.
Don't know I it sounds like.
It sounds like does he not
listen to what we're?
Talking, we surmise it sounds
like this is a draw issue.
You had a draw issue.
Right.
So why such a low?
Charlie woke up and chose
violence.
I mean, you know, that's OK.
Well, look, the reality is that.
Not every cigar can be perfect.
Well yes that's true, but you
should do a good job of making
sure the checks and balances to
that.
You know minimal plugs happen.
I don't I've.
Smoked several of those.
I've never had a plug.
Yeah, me neither.
I.
Have one in my bag now.
Light it up, Steve.
It's plugged.
I don't want to smoke it right
now.
All right.
I like, I like to smoke them by
myself.
Anything else you want to cover
on the news?
I'm looking, I'm looking, no.

This is what is what's.
A good thing?
Wait.
Wait, wait, he said that quick
is it was.
Red.
No, that's not true.
It's supposed to be red.
You're a bad.
You're a bad person.
When you turn it on now, because
we have to unplug the whole
thing, that weird screen shows
up and you just have to hit this
other button.
'Cause you unplug it all the
time.
It's got no off button.
I'm sure if you read the 3000
page, no.
I did I I I googled everything.
There is no off button.
One guy put a switch in the line
between the.
He plugged the the plug into the
switch and then the switch into
the you.
Would think for a $500 video
board that I.
Think it put a damn on and off
switch?
Yeah, no.
All right.
Anything else?
No, you guys shot of the week.

He was scrolling through
Facebook.
Yeah, gotcha.
Alright.
No, we're just waiting on our

Boom, right?
Wow.
You know you should probably
switch arms.
I noticed your one shoulders
getting a little beefy there, a
little bumpy.
From the pumping, from the
probably pumping he needs to.
Switch the arms.
So that makes it up?
Yeah, on and on.
What are you drinking, Paul?
Where I've been looking at the
candy.
It's a monster, a real punch.
I just found it next door the
other day.
I wanted to try it.
Found it next door in the
private lounge.
No, no, the next door Circle K.
He man Cigar has like.
Yeah, when I left here
yesterday, my wife asked me to
bring over a fountain.
Diet Coke.
They're better off the fountain.
Yeah, that's what she says.
But she always wants the big one
and then she never drinks so.
What's it like an extra $0.20?
Well, I know it's not the
expense, it's the waste.
So I always figured, well, I've
got half a Diet Coke I have to
drink.
Yeah, the big one's 79.
Ten well, it's kind of like, you
know, I'm at a point almost when
I want to go to dinner with the
kids, I almost don't want to
order something.
Yeah, 'cause you're gonna eat
their food.
Because I'm gonna eat all their
shit.
Because I'm it's gonna happen.
I do that sure they're gonna be
leftovers.
Yeah, I mean, especially with
Teddy.
Oh yeah?
She takes a bite.
One chicken nugget.
And she's done.
She's like, OK, that's it.
OK, we go now.
All right, I'm done.
I'm like, OK, well I got to eat
yours too now.
You can take it home.
I feel obligated.
No, so that why it dies in the
fridge and then we'll throw it
away later.
Dogs.
I don't give the dogs food they
eat right you.
Don't give the dogs food they
don't eat.
Yeah, they don't eat.
Yeah.
Killing machine.
Food.
Yeah, Bubbles is so mean.
Yeah, I gave them.
I gave them V digits.
Yeah.
So they're super.
Yeah.
They're superhero dogs, yeah.
That was so weird.
Can you imagine if Bubbles
became a superhero dog?
He would definitely be a
villain.
I'd be like, Oh my God, another
person's dead.
Right.
Bubbles would be just
aggressively humping things out
of control I guess.
You don't want to ruin the show.
Kind of dead.
No, they don't know where
they're at.
What happened to you know,
that's true.
We didn't say.
It kills the the V Bowl.
We didn't say.
That Yeah.
Yeah, we didn't say that.
We didn't.
They cut the guy's leg off, so
everybody thinks he's dead.
They didn't say that.
At all.
No, we didn't happen.
That didn't happen.
So now you don't have to watch
the boys.
You're welcome.
I saved you.
It's like 90 minutes.
Each episode or something that
was that felt long.
It was like over an hour.
Yeah, it's a good it, but it was
a great.
I felt good after that episode.
You know, there's not really a
lot going on other than people
just keep dying.
It's like, how can we gruesomely
dismember and kill someone?
You know, like.
I'm OK with it.
I'm OK with it.
It's 'cause you're a violent
person, Michael.
Maybe you're enjoying silent
rage.
What would you like to happen,
Palmer?
I don't know.
I like superhero stories.
Let's do a superhero.
Thing I like how they commingled
politics in it now.
I miss something because I
usually doze off.
Yeah, when I watch the TV.
So why did every OK when they
got to the place where the lambs
and or the goats or whatever
they was, they already had blood
on them?
Who did?
I I looked like everybody.
Firebug or whatever.
She had blood on her face.
Firebug.
I can't know the name, the
Starlight.
There you go.
That's the one.
Yeah.
And then the guy who's in charge
of everything, his suit, he had
blood on his shirt already, on
his collar and stuff.
And the CIA guy whose name I
can't remember either, he had
either He had blood.
His name is not Banana.
He had blood on his sweatshirt.
Or that's the way the design was
was splashed as a red line stuff
which could possibly be.
Yeah, I don't know what you're
talking about.
I know that they had some
interactions on the farm.
On the way to the farm.
No, like immediately at the
farm.
Maybe that's what it was,
because when I saw him, when I
woke up or turned it back on or
whatever I'm gonna do the they
saw the bull.
Oh yeah, They had already gone
through some stuff at that
point.
They had there was, there was
these chickens.
You gotta go.
Back.
Oh, I gotta go.
Back, you gotta go.
Deadly chickens.
You gotta see the deadly
chickens, yeah?
So they have been practicing
with the V on various animals.
No, it was an accident.
How can you actually give it to
that many animals?
The hamster broke out.
Oh, a hamster with V broke out,
right and shattered a bunch of
the V and it went into the
grounds.
The water of the farm.
Oh, so they all ingested the
water?
Oh, so I heard somebody mention
something about the hamster.
How did this happen?
Well that was a fucked up
hamster.
You never give a hamster.
V is what is what somebody said
God, rookie.
Rookie.
I haven't watched this show, but
I did see the.
I just finished Billions.

new one.
