Episode 390 A Cigar Hustlers Podcast Flamethrowers, Flying Cars, and Final Farewells

Transcript

No talking.

OK, you're up.

He's got all.

Wine.

Welcome to episode 390 of the

Cigar Hustler Podcast.

And we're late again this week.

My fault.

What happened?

Mom took another tumble

yesterday.

She fell down and tore her elbow

open.

And last night, Connor and his

girlfriend, who is a nurse's

assistant, I believe, is the

official title, something like

that.

They got nervous and took in the

emergency room.

And she has also fractured her

eye socket.

So that's interesting because

you went and checked on your

mom.

Yeah, and well, we got a call

from one of her neighbors that

we had never met before.

Apparently she was out on one of

her walks and somehow fell down.

She doesn't know how she fell on

where she fell on.

She waved at them and they saw

the blood on her elbow and she

had caught herself on the ground

and it cut her thumb just a

little bit but apparently went

like this or something get the

dirt off her face and striped

herself with blood on the.

Face.

Oh, she did.

The Simba.

Yeah, so she did the Simba.

So she she looked like some type

of horror movie thing, I guess.

So one of the neighbors turned

out she's a semi retired nurse.

So yeah, I mean, there was no

marks on her face.

So.

They they did a head CT to see

if she had hit her head.

I mean, there was no

distinguishing marks or

anything.

And that's where they found the

fractured eye socket.

But you went and saw your mom.

I went over there and spent

several hours with her and yeah.

And you're like, oh, she's good.

Well, I I tell the doctor, you

know my little thing.

And she did the video with her

arms flailing and Chris goes she

fine.

OK.

Yeah, he, he said exactly what

this was.

There was some fancy medical

term for it.

He said clean it up a Neosporin,

keep it clean, bandage it.

I don't think ablation was

weird, but that's something to

do with fire, I think.

But yeah, because, I mean,

there's no marks on her face.

Last year when she fell, she hit

her head and you could see she

hit her head.

So So what should she not do?

Boots.

Fall down.

Well, she can't.

If you fracture your eye socket,

there's nothing they do.

I, you know, they don't put a

cast on your face or anything,

but they give you antibiotics so

you do not get a nasal infection

because if you sneeze or blow

your nose hard, you could pop

your eyeball out.

Nice.

Yes.

Oh good.

So Connor spent the night there

last night.

She won't know how she did it.

Yeah, she woke up this morning.

Doesn't know how she did it.

Oh yeah, she'll go.

Why is my eyeball in my hand?

Right, Right.

I can't see.

She woke up not knowing why her

arm hurt or.

Freaking bandage on.

It's freaking me out.

You know what's so weird about

this whole situation is there

was ATV show, I was watching The

Resident last night and this

happened to one of the patients

that was in there.

New, new, new, new, new, new,

new new.

Yeah, that's so weird.

I'm very good friends with two

of her neighbors.

One of them, he says, semi

retired nurse from Saint Louis

no less, where my wife is from.

So she's going to go over and

check him on this morning.

Connor's girlfriend's going to

be over there by 2:30 and Connor

will go back over there after

5:00.

Got it.

OK.

Well, I hope she has a speedy

recovery.

Well, she's going to assisted.

Living now, I think that that's

probably.

We're in the process of

replacing the roof on her house.

As soon as that's done, she's

out.

Assisted living as an assisted

by you or into a facility.

Probably a a facility.

We have offered my house, my

brothers offered his house.

She can live near either one of

us.

She gets to choose, but probably

going to be some type of

facility, right?

And those those places are

getting a lot better too, you

know, activities and you got a

lot of things to do a lot of

people, the things around here

I.

Mean, you know so.

I mean, either way she's a

danger to herself at this point.

Right at this point, yeah.

I mean, you know, thank goodness

she doesn't cook.

She only microwaves.

Or she could have burned the

house down.

Yeah.

Is there a stove still in the

house?

Yeah, but it's never been turned

on.

She didn't.

She needed it before.

She uses the, the, her oven has

a type of air fryer thing on it

or what, whatever that's called.

So she uses the oven, she uses

the microwave, the dishwasher

still has the original packing

material in it, and she's lived

in the house 2223 years.

Oh wow.

I mean they never use the

dishwasher.

It was just her and dad.

So what 2 dishes take him a week

and a half to fill the

dishwasher?

Yeah, I'm walking out my house,

there's 75 cups on the counter

and that.

Drives me crazy.

And that was from yesterday.

Yeah, that was Monday night into

Tuesday morning.

I had to clear all that off.

I got to take my wife's coffee

cup and put it in the dishwasher

every morning.

Yeah, it's such a frustrating

thing, isn't it?

You're a great husband.

It's.

You know it.

What, two extra seconds to open

and put in?

It's next to the sink.

Yeah.

Drives me crazy.

Bro that's I do the same thing I

can't I why do people leave a

sink full or even anything in

it?

'Cause they don't want to do it.

Yeah, the kids always go, well,

it's soaking.

Yeah, that's what the cup you

had milk in is soaking.

What the fuck you soaking that

for?

Right.

It's so aggravated.

That's a bunch of BS, right?

Yeah.

I can't do it.

My wife has trained me.

I I do my best.

Yeah.

Clear the sink.

No water remnant.

I can't go to bed with stuff in

the sink.

I it just.

Yeah.

Oh wait, wait, you wipe it out.

No, the outside like you know

how you know it washed?

Yeah, you can't.

Have Oh yeah, I can't use the

the spray gun at my house 'cause

it makes water around.

It's got to wipe it down.

I don't, I always miss

something.

Oh.

Boy.

OK, so hey, let's get going.

Let's all.

Right.

Multiple people were burned in

an apparent anti-Semitic attack

on Boulder's Pearl Street Mall

and number of people were

attacked and burned on the Pearl

Street Mall in Boulder on Sunday

afternoon.

Law enforcement say a man threw

incendiary devices at people

participating in a walk and

vigil for Israel hostages being

held by Hamas.

Boulder police took a man,

identified as Mohammed Sabri

Solama, 45, into custody at the

scene.

Investigators say he yelled Free

Palestine before attacking the

walkers.

The FBI said eight people, four

women and four men between the

ages of 52 and 88, were injured,

2 serious enough to be flown to

the burn unit at UC Health

University at Colorado Hospital

in Aurora.

The first calls, the 911, came

just after 1:30 PM.

Sunday afternoon, with a report

of an attack near the Boulder

courthouse, the group run for

their The group ran for their

lives, finishing a peaceful walk

to bring attention to the

hostages.

The initial callers indicated

that there was a man with a

weapon and that people were

being set on fire, said Police

Chief Stephen Redfern at a press

conference.

When we arrived, we encountered

multiple victims that were

injured with injuries consistent

with burns and other injuries.

Police said the attacker had a

makeshift flamethrower and other

incendiary devices.

An 11 block portion of downtown

from Broadway to 16th St. and

Pine to Walnut will remain

blocked off into tomorrow as

officers investigate.

Officials are warning people not

to fly drones or personal

aircraft over the area while it

is closed.

Was the guy apprehended or was

he killed?

Yes, that was mentioned earlier

in the story.

It was.

I saw a video footage and it

looked like he had something

that had a flame on it in one

hand and then some type of spray

bottle that sprayed the whatever

the liquid was he was doing.

So it was sort of a, you know,

like a.

Oh, like a Lysol can or

something?

Well, no, it was.

It was something bigger than

that with a big clear tank on it

full of liquid.

But the same idea, you know,

hold up the torch and you know,

squeeze the other thing and make

your own fire, fire flame

thrower.

Why didn't they just shoot the

guy?

I don't know, I wanted it too.

Before I saw the picture I

thought, well maybe the thing

was too big, they're afraid they

shot him.

Maybe he would have exploded and

the stuff would have went

everywhere, right?

But it looked like 2 handheld

devices he had.

Like a napalm type?

What do you think about Abuzz?

Do you think that give me your

thoughts?

I think it's kind of weird that

a guy named Mohammed did an

attack on this type of area.

On Israelis.

Yeah, well, he was probably a a

a Hamas.

There's no Israeli named

Muhammad.

But you, you don't know how that

whole the whole thing.

Works well, I know, I know that

the war thing, Palestine, I get

that.

But I'm saying.

I don't think Muhammad is a

strict.

It's not a Palestine name,

Israeli name or Israeli name,

whatever it is.

No, I'd like to see this guy.

You have a picture of him.

There was a picture of him

online.

He was shirtless.

Yeah.

Yeah, he should have definitely

been taken out quickly.

Oh, here we go.

He also saw a shirtless man

holding squirt bottles and

yelling.

We watched as the police arrived

a a couple of minutes later and

this guy, the shirtless guy,

went down on the ground and was

handcuffed and taken away.

Then, oh, apparently he

surrendered.

What state did you think this

happened?

What did it?

Happen was in Boulder.

Colorado in Colorado.

You think if it happened in

Florida the the guy would have

survived?

Oh, he would have died

instantly.

In Lakeland, they'd have shot

him.

He'd.

Have been gone, right?

Polk County, He's gone.

Like I don't understand how you

attack a group of people in any

type of a peaceful protest.

Well, he was for the group they

were protesting.

Right.

Well, it was peaceful and then

became unpeaceful.

Yeah, because he interjected.

Right, That's what I'm saying.

Like that's insane.

Yeah, well, that, that's

definitely they, they didn't

deem a terrorist attack.

They're considering a terrorist

attack, yes.

OK.

Yeah.

So.

So does that mean the the

punishment?

I'm I'm surprised they didn't

take him out then if it was a

terrorist attack.

Yeah, one of those he.

Surrenders as soon as the police

showed up.

Well, that doesn't matter.

Well, he's got a gun.

It's not.

It's not Florida.

They don't just shoot people

everywhere.

Stop resisting.

Stop resisting.

Stop resisting.

Hey, we don't shoot people

everywhere here.

That's not nice.

Allegedly.

Yeah, you can't say that.

Why did you shoot him 86 times?

We ran out of bullets.

Yeah, right.

I mean, but look.

You could read the newspaper.

This guy, I mean, come on, To

put an attack on people that are

just peacefully protesting, set

people on fire?

Well, it's very bad, yes.

I don't.

Why are we waiting around for

this guy to settle in where he's

no longer harming people?

First of all, that's one of my

biggest fears of all time.

Being set on fire, yeah.

It's like drowning.

Why would you tell us that?

I'm just saying now.

We're going to chase you with

letters.

You guys aren't afraid of being

burnt, like being set on fire?

I can't say that I think.

About it, don't worry about it

on a daily basis you.

Can't even let the coffee cup

sit in the the kitchen sink.

You're not.

Sure, I'm sure.

It's very terrible and I hear

it's extremely painful and you

suffocate before you die.

So he's not worried about the

coffee cup jumping out of the

sink and killing him.

Right.

I mean, it's no different than

you know.

Are you worried about drowning?

Of course you don't worry about

drowning.

Why do you think he never got on

a boat in the Navy?

That's true.

The Navy guy is scared of the

water.

I forgot.

I can tread water for a little

bit, but I can't tread it

forever.

So yes, I am worried about

drowning.

So you're scared of being burned

alive?

So we always.

Pull.

First of all, you guys already

know I don't like death and I

don't ever.

I don't want to die.

So everything where you'd die.

Very few people are looking

forward to it.

So what's what's the number one

way that you don't want to die?

Suffocating.

I mean like being buried under

the ground.

Suffocation.

That would be terrible.

The buried.

Buried alive.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because I'm slightly

claustrophobic too.

So I think we can do that would

be.

Should go out back and dig a big

hole.

Absolutely not.

And we should just put like a

boot sign on it.

This will be the last day that

Boots ever does the park guys.

I'll see you guys later.

Just.

Leave it there.

Like, no, I don't know what, I

don't know how that got there.

It's weird now.

We have a redhead sitting in the

ginger.

Congratulations, you've been.

Promoting Ginger's been

upgraded.

By the way, Ginger, thanks so

much for the 50,000 comment on

the cruise, on the amount of

people on a cruise.

Yeah, apparently that number is

way large, unfortunately.

Yeah, Once we got home, he was

like, I was wrong.

He's like he Googled.

It Yeah, thanks so much.

Since we just took your word for

that, we've been berated on

where every on every single

platform possible messages

everything.

Are you crazy?

50,000 people you.

Think 50,000 people will be on a

boat.

I'm like, I don't know how big

you think these boats are.

I just, you know what the the

problem is that I just trust

everybody when somebody makes a

statement.

He sounded like he knew.

Yeah, and he's a cruise guy.

Super convincing.

We should ask him something

today too, and he's just a

rogue.

Just give us.

The see how convincing it is,

Yeah.

So, ginger, when you burn, how

fast do you die?

How fast does it take you to die

when you're being burned,

ginger?

Depends on how.

There you go, you.

Should have came out with a

number man.

That sounds.

It sounds reasonable, yeah.

Depends on how hot the.

Fires.

Yeah, yeah, you never.

There was no guns in Colorado,

See.

No guns on campus in Colorado,

that's where.

They were down.

They were downtown.

Oh yeah, you can't smoke cigars.

You can't do anything.

No, you can smoke cigars.

Apparently you can light.

People on fire.

You can't smoke them in public

because.

You think you can bury somebody

alive in Colorado?

Yeah, it's definitely an

outdoorsy type.

Yeah.

Dorsey murder?

So you're saying you won't be

visiting Colorado anytime soon?

I went and I hated it.

It was a horrible place.

Yeah, too many ditches.

No, it was just too many rules

about cigars.

Holter said the incident did not

seem to have sparked a large

panic.

People were not afraid.

A crowd of people on the mall

watched the arrest from a

distance.

Hey, look over there.

That dude sent people on.

That's.

Insane.

Man.

Well, of course it was from a

distance they didn't want to

get.

Burned so nobody died though,

just people were really badly

hurt 2.

People were airlifted by plane,

I guess, or helicopter, but

that's yeah, they didn't, I

don't think.

I'm I haven't seen any I don't

even want to see.

It nobody died like I had.

Super car volatile contest in

the stand.

Where did you go that's.

Insane.

Well ways why he had no shirt on

because in practice they

splattered and caught a shirt

on.

He wanted he'd rather singe his

flesh a little bit.

Well, it's less, you know, less

flammable your flesh than a, you

know, cotton or polyester

T-shirt.

How?

Many people do you think are

going to comment on the fact

that he said Muhammad?

People are in it, you know, is.

Oh yeah, sure.

Now he's anti I mean.

Yeah, well, there are.

There are plenty of Muhammad's,

I'm sure in Israel, I'm sure.

It's just not.

They're not all in Israel.

What was the guy's name on the

planes and stuff?

Oh my God.

Hey, you got to move your

microphone down just a little

bit, Palmer.

It's kind of bugging.

Me.

Is it too high?

Yeah, it's like right in front

of your whole face.

Yeah, you got to move it down.

They're perfect, all right?

Yep.

OK.

All right.

Next story.

All right, and Orlando sets its

sights on flying cars by 2028

with airport vertiport plans.

The city known for theme parks

and tourism is now aiming to

become a pioneer and futuristic

transportation Orlando is

planning to accommodate flying

cars, officially known as

electric vertical take off, and

landing aircraft, or evtols.

Evtols.

EVTOLSE Evtols.

EV tolls probably.

Yeah, there's not a, there's not

2E S There's just one.

EV.

Say it again, EV.

EVTOLS it's a little E and a

little S, but VTOL is in capital

L Evtol I don't know.

By building a dedicated

vertiport at Orlando

International Airport by 2028,

according to multiple news

sources, the vertiport would

function much like a terminal

for these next generation

aircraft, providing space for

take offs, landings and

passenger boarding.

Unlike traditional planes,

evottles don't need long

runways.

Instead, they lift off

vertically like helicopters,

making them ideal for urban and

regional travel where space is

limited.

Orlando's plans are part of a

growing global interest in

advanced air mobility, a field

that promises to revolutionize

how people move between cities

and eventually within them.

The idea is to make fast, clean

and efficient air travel more

accessible to the public.

By 2028, city officials hope to

have infrastructure in place to

support flying taxis connecting

Orlando to other major Florida

cities such as Tampa and Miami.

These short range flights could

slash travel times from hours to

just minutes, all while reducing

the burden on Florida's already

congested highways.

Would you fly in an epitole?

In a heartbeat, you would.

I'd fly.

I'd come pick me up right now.

Yeah, Yep.

I'm not afraid of air flight.

OK, what about you boots?

Absolutely not.

Do you see the ones that are

now?

Something else he's afraid of?

Do you see the ones that are?

They can't even the FAA and

everybody can't even control the

ones now.

Yeah.

So just imagine, you know,

Sorry, nothing about the elderly

Palmer, but.

Oh, the elderly.

Could you imagine that 80 year

old flying one of these things

I.

Don't think that.

I don't think they're going to

make him in charge of it.

You don't get to fly it

yourself.

You will be.

It's like a taxi you.

Don't think yeah, it'd probably

be automated at some point.

OK, could you imagine Mohammed

driving one of these things?

No, no, couldn't.

Imagine.

I don't think Mohammed would get

clearance.

Just imagine if he, you know,

went by a peaceful thing you

know, and all of a sudden

crashes the flying thing right

into it.

What's that?

Automated probably makes more

sense.

Yeah, I think so too.

Then they're all going to catch

on fire like the ones are now.

Less weight, that way they hold

more people.

He's very doomy over here.

Yeah, today's a hard day, He.

Is very doomy today.

How long did it take them to?

Build like.

They don't have to build the

highway.

It's in the air.

They've been talking about

flying cars for 20-30 years now.

Now there's somebody who has not

sponsored but invested.

Where do you think the first

route is?

What do you think?

Like hey, we build the pad at

MCO, where do you think the

first location is that they can

have travel to?

No, if we're talking about

Florida, they're going to put it

somewhere where nobody goes.

That's how they do their stuff

here.

You think it's going to go where

nobody goes?

They're going to put it like on

the backside of Claremont, yeah.

Disney.

That's where I think it goes.

I think it goes right to the

mouse.

But then they can get Disney

money.

Right.

Hey, you know now you no longer

have to take a bus once you

land, you just get on the.

I guess it depends how big it

is, because if it's only holds,

let's say two to four people, is

that really going to be

efficient for Disney because now

they run those giant buses?

That I think that they're going,

they have a would.

It be cost effective to fly four

people at a time.

Well, do you think it if you

don't want to deal with people,

right, and you have your family

and this is your vacation for,

you know, you've saved up for

years or whatever and you're

coming, especially if you're

coming in out of the from out of

the country, you land at MCO and

then you jump on one of these

things and you're there in

minutes, 5 minutes.

What's the average size of a

ginger?

What's the average size of a

family nowadays?

How many people?

Totally a new source of

information. 4 So for, like,

your family's five, you guys

couldn't take it?

Yeah.

I would say that these things

got a hold at least 6 to 8

people.

And they have to be bigger.

Yeah.

Pictures I saw it looks like 4.

Yeah.

So you have to take multiple.

Yeah, put the kids in the other

one.

So they have, they have tons of

these just flying around.

I could.

I would never do that.

I would never put my kids in a

separate one.

No, your wife goes with Teddy

and you and the boys go on the

other.

One something like that, yeah.

Well, you got to put a boy in

each.

Oh yeah, why is that?

Survive Doom Day.

So just yeah, exactly.

That's what I was going to say.

That way all the all the men in

the family don't go down at one

time.

You can still.

Because Greg's not having kids,

so I mean.

Names got to carry on.

Yeah.

How many boys do you have?

1.

So him and his son can't.

Fly My wife wants to have

another one, so I'm going to try

all the little tricks of the

trade.

But you don't know if it's going

to be a boy or not.

Oh, of course.

Well, that's what he said.

They're going to try all the

tricks.

We need to do a whole episode on

ways to ensure you have a male

boy.

Nice.

Orlando's position itself is a

test bed for innovation

transportation technologies.

The city already has a strong

aviation presence and a booming

tourism industry, making it an

ideal location to experiment

with futuristic travel options.

There it is.

In 2020, the Lake Nona community

in southwest Orlando announced

plans for what was then billed

as a nation's first vertiport.

Although the timeline and

developers have shifted since

then, the enthusiasm for flying

cars in Central Florida has only

grown.

City City leaders believe the

investment could pay off big by

attracting tech companies,

creating jobs and strengthening

Orlando's identity as a city of

the future.

I would love just to fly from my

house to work, that would be

awesome.

They make those small.

Gyrocopters.

Yeah, gyrocopters or an

ultralight.

Well, I guess ultralight you

like a runway, so they go into

that, but you can do the copter.

I would love that.

The one you peddle.

No, Greg, swipe the card, swipe

the card, get you one, Yeah.

Swipe the card.

You get a street?

Well take off wouldn't be a

problem.

You can use the street out in

front of your house.

I'd land on top of my house.

Yeah, it's a flat roof.

Oh for the I was thinking the

ultra light and.

I'd land on top of this roof.

I don't know that.

I don't know that that's scary.

That is even fun.

Make sure I'm down here when.

You land on the roof, Paul

Murray.

I'm landing.

I'll be downstairs.

Yeah, there's you got to use a

ladder.

Yeah, you have to use a ladder.

Well, I meant it holding the

weight.

That's what I was more concerned

with, the actual age of the

building and the construction.

Right.

OK, These aircraft are fully

electric, quieter than

helicopters, designed to carry a

handful of passengers on short

distance flights.

Regulatory approvals and safety

standards are still being

finalized, but progress is

accelerating.

The Federal Aviation

Administration has already begun

working on guidelines for

vertiports and evil tool

operations.

Yeah, that was my biggest

question too is.

Well, there's going to be,

there's going to be tons of

regulation in ways you have to

do it and certain licensing that

you have to have.

Right.

OK.

All right, Next story.

Well.

I'm trying to get there.

There's only supposed to be a 3

minute read.

Oh boy.

Orlando, it seems, is ready for

take off.

Oh, there you go, now it's done.

Lovely.

There we go.

Reds Eli De La Cruz homers after

learning of his sister's death

started into the world of

sports.

Cincinnati Reds star Eli De La

Cruz played with a heavy heart

Sunday after learning of the

death of his older sister, but

manager Terry Francona said the

23 year old shortstop was

insisted on being in the lineup.

De La Cruz had a two run Homer

and scored two runs in

Cincinnati.

Seven to three loss to the

Chicago Cub.

Oh, so they lost anyway?

But he hit a Homer.

Hit a Homer for the dead sister?

Yes, De La Cruz insisted he

wanted to play in the finale of

the weekend series, and the team

was going to support him after

his towering home run, the 50th

of his career.

De La Cruz patted his chest as

he took his final steps towards

the plate, pointed to the sky

and clapped.

After stepping on the plate, he

made a heart shape with his

hands.

We care so much about playing a

game and winning, Francona said.

But in a hurry, you're reminded

of what's really important.

So I think everybody's,

everybody kind of kept their

head on a swivel with him today,

just trying to take care of him.

Family members confirmed to Z1O1

Digital in the Dominican

Republic the De La Cruz's sister

died Saturday after dealing with

health problems for some time.

De La Cruz declined to speak

with a reporter Sunday.

The Reds also declined to offer

any more details, citing De La

Cruz's wishes.

He takes so much pride in being

available.

Francona said.

Guys like Carlos Santana in

Cleveland was very similar.

And for a kid that's young as an

admirable trait.

Words, yeah, words are

difficult.

Words are difficult.

OK, so he knew his sister was

ill.

Yes, it wasn't sudden.

It's not like it's after a long

bout of something 'cause they're

not saying what it was.

Do you know what it was?

Boots.

No, it wasn't disclosed.

No, yeah, they're not saying.

Ginger, what was it?

Ginger.

What did she die of?

He's.

Checking into it right?

Just pick something ginger.

Oh my goodness.

COVID related.

I mean, yeah, I guess that's a

catch all now, yeah.

It is.

That's what everybody dies of

now.

COVID related Related.

Insurance money.

OK, so are you surprised that he

played?

No, you hear this kind of stuff

all the time with these high

level athletes.

Yeah, what about you?

Boots.

No, it's for the love of the

game, man.

I mean, so still got to play.

Yeah, I mean, I'm not surprised

that the guy play.

It's not like it was a sudden

accident or something, you know,

like some major.

Listen, losing so many love is

always terrible.

Terrible thing.

However, it's a little different

when you know that they've been

ill for a long time and it was

and you're expecting it, you

know, So I, I guess I think in

that, in that type of scenario,

I would kind of continue on

right, you know, do.

You think the the other team's

pitcher soft pitched him so he

could hit the and run?

No, they still it was like a

9495 mile per hour.

I, yeah, I I'm not giving them

if I'm, if I'm, if I'm no, no,

if I'm on the field.

You know what's funny Is they.

Lost.

They lost anyway.

They were down seven to three.

Yeah.

They they still crushed them.

They were down 7 to 3, so maybe

when you know I'm just going to.

Lob one over there, that'll be

no mercy.

I did see a clip recently where

Brett Favre ran into.

Underhanded.

He ran into the guy that Strahan

took his sack record from.

Did you see that and he was like

you ruined my life.

You wrote because the last play

that Brett one of the for

Michael Strahan to get the sacks

like for for the entire and

Ginger can Fact Check me on this

to for the season.

He just kind of rolled and just

kind of fell flat and let

Strahan sack him in order to

take that new record.

So the other guy was so pissed.

Pissed at the quarterback.

Yeah, the other guy really

earned it, whereas they just

kind of gave it to Strahan at

the end.

Yeah, the other guy, that's all

he had.

Yeah, so if Brett Favre was

pitching, maybe, maybe.

But I, I don't think just

softball pitched underhand.

You know, I was going to give

this one just, yeah, like a

little softball thing.

You go poop.

Yeah, they're going to get real

close and use two hands.

Right.

Go take a knee.

Lift it.

Nobody chased the ball.

It's fine.

It's fine.

Just let it go in the park home

run.

It's amazing.

Yay Ned sister.

Sorry.

Now let's kill him, 7:00 to

3:00.

Right now, let's rack up those

runs, OK?

All right, Mark, Marone's WTF

podcast ending in fall were

burnt out.

This was a show that started

when there were no podcast, and

now there's nothing but podcast,

said Marone.

What about that?

Said Marone when announcing the

news on his Monday show.

We are utterly satisfied with

the work we've done, Marone

announced the news on his Monday

show, saying.

It's nice to be able to end

things on our own terms.

We started the show on our

terms, we grew it on our terms,

and we'll end it on our terms.

A lot about the terms.

How else would it end?

Why would you end it?

He was burnt out and said that

in the.

Beginning, yeah.

But, you know, do you think that

he would have continued forward

with it if it was more

lucrative?

Well, they're making money.

They were, yeah.

They had sponsor making money.

They've been doing it for 16

years.

In the beginning, they're like

us.

They didn't make any money in

the beginning.

Oh, where do they start making

money?

It was a, well, apparently 15.

I got halfway there.

I got news for you.

Yeah, well, we're not in the he.

Started selling shirts

apparently.

Oh yeah, yeah, that was started

selling shirts.

Started selling.

That was a big hit.

It was a big hit.

He started offering his own BTF

shirts.

WTF.

Merchandise.

Yes, I love it.

Nice.

So you're saying there's a

chance?

Right.

We're going the right way, yes.

Rone and his producer partner

Brendan McDonald made the

decision together, he said,

explaining that the pair behind

the two team groundbreaking

podcasts are simply burnt out.

WTF will turn 16 years old on

September 1st?

16 years is a long time.

It's a long time to do anything,

he said to open his show, which

welcomed on guest John Mulaney.

All of a sudden you're old and

you realize you've been doing

something for a long time.

This started in an old garage.

Yeah, very, very similar to.

How many times has he been

married?

Married.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Jen.

J, you want to look that up?

I have no.

Idea sounds like it's important.

15 years, a long time so.

Oh, no one knew.

Move on.

No one knew what a podcast was.

I was coming out of a horrendous

divorce apparently.

There it is.

I was.

Wanting to figure out how to

continue living my life.

Things were not looking good for

me, he continued.

When Brendan and I started this

thing, all we knew was that we

were going to do it every Monday

and Thursday.

We don't do it often enough.

That's the problem.

And then there was no way to

make money.

There was no way that we knew

how to build an audience or

anything.

We were doing it in the garage.

In the beginning, that was just

a garage filled with junk.

And it slowly evolved into the

show that became what you listen

to twice a week. 16 years we've

been doing this and we've

decided that we had a great run.

And now, basically, it's time,

folks.

It's time.

WTF is coming to an end and it

is our decision.

But he's moving on.

But he's doing other shows now.

Oh.

So.

That's that's the weird part.

So he's tired of doing this

show, but now he's going to

start doing a new show.

So he's and he did it with

somebody else that show.

This show, yeah, it was with.

Yeah, it was him and the

producer.

Right.

Yeah, so maybe he just got tired

of the guy.

The producer?

Yeah, maybe 16 years long.

Time.

I mean, you tried to do that.

You got tired of me.

I didn't get tired of.

You Chet Palmer show.

Well, I was doing other shows.

Yeah, and then there was a

sports talk for boots.

Yeah, let's go.

Wow.

And look at and look at you

both.

You're still here.

Couldn't.

Right, because we're dedicated,

you couldn't motivated.

You couldn't escape me.

Couldn't want you.

You couldn't escape me.

Oh well, to be fair, Chet quit

too, so I would live by myself.

Chet couldn't hang, no.

I think we both realized

together that we were done,

Maroon 62 continued in the

announcement.

There was no convincing or

pushback or arguing.

We're done.

It's done and it's OK.

It's OK for things to end.

That was a show that started

when there were no podcast, and

now he's big on the fact that he

did.

He just read all that.

No, he's just big on the fact

that he started podcasting

otherwise.

So what do you think?

What do you think they if he, if

a guy is going to continue to do

podcasts, what makes you think

why would he stop that podcast?

Do you think that he was just

tired of it?

No, I think, I think the

producer probably had to stop

and that guy doesn't know how to

produce so.

So he just got fed up.

So you think the show's got to

end.

So the producer quits.

He's like, OK, we're done.

Yeah, 'cause we, I mean, let's

be real, when Palmer passes

away, this show's probably going

to go.

From either drowning, burning,

or buried alive.

Yeah.

You think that.

You think if Palmer goes, the

show's done?

I mean, I can't do all the stuff

he does.

Oh, that's 100% accurate.

Hey, most weeks I can't do all

the stuff I do so.

Yeah, exactly.

I mean, I guess we can do it on

Facebook Live with our phones,

I'm sure.

We would figure it out.

Hopefully he doesn't go away

anytime soon because I have to

redo a lot of other things, not

only just this podcast.

Right.

Yeah, but I won't sit in that

chair.

I'll chose another one because

that would be the death chair

for me.

Well, you know, the problem is I

rearrange it, It's, it's one of

these four.

Every week it's different.

I just have to bring my own

then.

Yeah, it could be any death

chair.

So apparently the WTF show,

which I'm not familiar with, was

an interview show.

Yeah, I've never heard of it.

So they interviewed celebrities,

politicians.

I mean, it's not like it was a

good show. 55,000,000 listeners,

2000 episodes.

How long has Joe Rogan been on?

I don't.

I don't know exactly, but I

would probably guess probably

somewhere around that.

Our IT guy's looking it up right

now.

Behind you is.

He I'm looking up.

Now he's doing his taxes. 2009.

Oh, this guy started in 2009.

Yeah.

So same amount of time there.

I mean, if I started the same

time as Joe Rogan and I was

based on solely on interviews,

right?

And Joe Rogan.

Yeah, I.

Mean, I know who Joe Rogan is.

Rogan holds.

Cloud, you don't know this guy

yet.

Well, Joe Rogan was famous, to

be fair, before he did it.

Not really.

Fear factor.

He did that show where they made

him eat the bugs and stuff.

Fear Factor?

No, no, he made other people eat

the bucks.

He did UFC.

He did UFC stuff so I mean he

was the name before he started

doing it.

Stand up comedian.

Wasn't he an actor too?

I.

Don't think he's a good

comedian, I don't.

Think he's a good comedian?

He's not a great comedian.

I haven't really liked his.

No, I think that's just

something he threw in.

I talk to people.

Why not just say funny stuff?

He's amazing with his

interviews, obviously.

Yeah, you know, but yeah, I

don't think the the comedic part

is his biggest.

No, I don't think he's that.

Funny either We went, we went.

Oh, did you think you saw his

whole act?

I've seen clips and they're sort

of hit or miss.

The the kill Tony guy crushed

it.

He opened for him.

I was like, man, that guy is

hilarious.

But yeah, the JRE.

So I mean, if I had come out at

in around the same time,

regardless of what my background

was, I mean, one guy is retarded

rich now, you know, and every

he's a household name.

I have no idea who this guy is.

Yeah, No, I don't.

I've never heard of this show

before.

He's obviously the creator of

podcasts, is what he said.

Right, he invented a podcast,

right?

They were the first.

Maybe not.

I wonder who distributed it?

I guess a website.

It's not like, you know, Pod

Bean or Apple Podcast had to be

around back then.

Apple was probably around at

that.

Time.

Well, Apple, but maybe not the

Apple podcast branch.

You don't think so?

Well, he said he was the first

one.

So I mean, what?

They just had this one show.

When, well, Realplayer back then

was Realplayer.

I don't know if you remember

that.

Oh, I remember real player.

Yeah.

Apple launched their podcast in

2005.

So then he wasn't the first one.

It's erroneous information.

He's lying.

He just wanted out.

He just fucking wanted out.

Yeah, he's lying.

Yeah, yeah.

He he was done doing.

He was done with his format.

I just think, I just think he

was just done with his partner.

Yeah, could have been.

Just couldn't stand him anymore.

Trying to go with a heart throb.

After 16 years?

Yeah, well, he's got a bad track

record.

He's divorced probably after 14

years.

Right?

Right.

Makes sense. 2 extras.

Great boots.

Trending News.

Oh yes, oh, Hui Yan, Hui Yan.

Paul Word.

Why is he always on?

Me.

Yeah, go.

I was.

I was last week.

OK.

Oh great.

Still no ink, huh?

Still no ink.

What are you talking?

What printer are you using the?

Same one everybody uses

upstairs.

How come there's no issue with

anything else but yours?

Everything's light.

Oh my God, that looks

transparent.

He held it up with the light

behind.

It we have plenty of toner,

somebody changed the toner.

All right, Hello, peoples.

Conservative Carol Naraki wins

Poland's presidential election.

Well, what a story is close.

Poland's Electoral Commission

has declared victory for

conservative candidate Karo

Norwaki in the second round of

the country's tightly contested

presidential election.

Question How many rounds does it

take to elect a Polish

president?

How many?

2 Securing 50.89% of the vote,

Norokee defeated the liberal pro

European Union candidate Rafael

Trezowski by just over a

percentage point.

Norokee campaign on a promise to

defend traditional Polish values

and reduce the number of Polish

people it takes to screw in a

light bulb by half.

That's efficient.

His opponent Trezowski, who is

the mayor of Warsaw, had vowed

to push ahead with Prime

Minister Donald Tusk's plans to

reinstate judicial independence

and liberalize abortion laws.

But with major veto powers,

Milwaukee is expected to block

Tusk government in pursuit of

more nationalist agenda, much

like the predecessor and

outgoing president Andreas Duda.

Duda, who in Associates story

was confused by Polish man #1

knock knock Polish man number.

Go ahead.

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

What do you call a Polish

fisherman?

I don't know what do you call a

Polish fisherman?

A fishing pole.

You know, Poland's got one of

the lowest crime rates in

Europe.

Well, that's because they're

sitting at the bar trying to

figure out each other's name all

the time.

And that's because they don't

let anybody in.

Oh, is that what it is?

Yeah, but they let them out.

Yeah.

If you want to leave, you can

leave.

OK.

All right, now you want to talk

about your social media, the

topic for the day, Michael.

Oh.

Sure, I do.

All right.

Go.

Ahead.

So this just in.

So I don't know the details of

the full story here, but.

Oh, perfect.

It would appear that's.

Exactly how we like it.

Yeah, that's how we make stuff

up.

Speculative news, Yeah.

And then we get everybody angry

at us, right?

It would appear that Steve Saka

went ahead and made this merch.

Yes.

For events or whatever.

And they were Steve Saka dolls.

Were they wood dolls or no?

Like stuffed doll.

Dolls.

They were plush dolls, OK?

I don't know, plush.

You mean with cotton?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Stuffed.

And apparently they had arrived

and he thought they were

absolutely atrocious.

So so he did an event with Abe

where they did a a smoke in live

of the burning of the soccer

dolls.

Oh, he.

Burned.

Them.

Yeah.

So he did some social media

clips as he was doing it.

Who in their right mind would

make a stuffed animal of

themselves in order to sell for

merchandise?

This is my first question,

Steve.

I'd love to have a BDP stuff.

Would you make a stuffed animal

on yourself?

Sure I would.

You make a plushie.

Yeah, that's great.

I prefer an action figure.

OK, no, yeah, like a super.

No, no, we didn't go action.

No, I said I would prefer, but I

would still make.

You would make a plushie of you

sure.

See, The thing is though, he had

to have approved it at some

point, so he knew what it was

going to look.

Like it was totally greenlit.

You're right.

Yeah.

So what?

When 75,000 of them showed up,

he's like oh this was a.

I've got to see a picture.

I got to see a picture of this.

I haven't seen a.

Picture terrible.

I love them.

I need one.

I need to get.

Well, if I understand, there are

three left in existence.

I think that there's more.

I would believe that there's

more you.

Don't think 'cause it didn't

look like there was a large

number of them.

I mean he didn't get 75,000 of

them look like 50.

I don't think Steve just said,

all right, I'm going to send you

3 and then I'm going to torch

the rest.

We need to start getting plush

dolls of all the people in the

industry.

Oh yeah, and start making.

Them, yeah, they can sit, they

can sit around Palmer because

he's got a little bit of gappage

on the left and.

Right there.

Sit right around him.

That way we can have cigar

hustlers podcast and friends.

Oh, a Saturday morning TV show,

right?

There you go, you and your

stuffy.

They could be puppets.

We could sit behind me and work

the puppets.

That would.

Be way better by the way.

That would be way.

Better.

OK, so let's say hypothetically

you produced, I don't know, 500

stuffies of you stuff seems a.

Little excessive, but OK.

They arrived.

They arrived and you absolutely

despise them.

Right, they would have to be

pretty bad for me to despise

them.

Would you be OK with torching

the he?

Had to have money invested in

them I mean.

I'm not even talking about the

money.

Well, but I'm cheap.

We've established that earlier.

I mean, if I've got, I've got

500 of them at a buck apiece,

let's just say, you know, that's

$500, right?

I'm still doing something with

them.

I don't care how they are.

I don't care if they.

Believe.

But let's say that you decided

that you didn't want them to see

the light of day.

OK.

For whatever reason, like man,

these are hideous, but they are

still a resemblance of you,

right?

Would you set them on fire?

No, if I didn't want anybody to

know about them.

It's a great marketing plot to

set them on fire.

It's brilliant.

I mean, I'm talking about it.

I think it's hilarious.

But it's still you.

It's still in.

It's still in the likeness of

you.

Are you OK with setting the

likeness of you on fire?

Yeah.

You'd be OK with that?

Have you ever heard of a voodoo

doll?

Yes, yeah.

So that's exactly right.

But this is not.

But it then has to be blessed or

whatever it is by voodoo

priestess, and I have to have

the Gregory or whatever put all

over it.

The Gregory.

Is that what?

Happens.

That's what they call it.

The Gregory.

That's the evil magic, The

Gregory.

Well, how do you know one of

them didn't get blessed?

Because I have all 500 of them

here in my purpose.

They came in.

No, they were built somewhere.

But did it go through New

Orleans, where all the voodoo

people?

Are there's someone?

Definitely went through a third

world country.

So maybe somebody?

Because they were made.

And where did they go through a

third world country?

I had them made in they're.

Not a dollar being made in USA.

I had them made in China or

Japan.

Well, we got to be made in third

world country, ship to China,

put made in China on it.

Made in China on the bottom of

my foot.

I think they were definitely

made in China.

I think they were held up.

That's that's what.

Could be.

It just reminds me of the Temple

of Doom.

Do you remember Temple?

Temple Kalima?

Yeah, he didn't.

Have Oh, because he had the

voodoo doll of.

India of India, Yeah.

Yeah, that wasn't New Orleans.

No, that was in India though.

Yeah.

Did these go through India?

Maybe they have them made in

India, Maybe they're tracked.

OK, so now when we make the

dolls of me, they don't go

through any voodoo country.

I just don't know if I would be

I would be able to burn them if

I didn't like them.

If we had dolls of you, Yeah,

little muscle dolls.

Yeah, and you made a bunch of

them.

And I'm like.

Those are like the stretch

Armstrong or he man looking

doll.

Those are hideous.

Those can't see the light of

day, right?

I don't know if I'd let you burn

them.

How would you?

Be OK disposing of them so

nobody ever saw them.

I'd probably just have to put

them in storage and keep them

forever.

Somewhere and pay forever.

Until I died, and then somebody

would.

Children find them, yeah.

These are a bunch of there you.

Go this is weird.

Look at all these dad dolls we

have.

What would you do?

Boots if you absolutely.

Well, he's not.

Going to burn him.

He's not going to drown him.

He's not going to.

Bury him.

All right.

Well, let me ask him I.

Just said, well, he's not there.

All right.

Thanks.

So, so you have the stuffies and

you, you don't want them to see

the light of day.

What would you do?

I'd probably just sell them and

to be done with it.

You should have said I'm not

going to burn.

Them.

Yeah, I'm not.

I'm definitely not.

Going to do that stuff.

You would still you would bite

the bullet and just sell them.

Yeah, that's what they were

meant for.

And you'd be, but I'm just

saying you're not OK with them

getting out in the in the wild.

No, I mean, we've seen the

bronze statues of Dwyane Wade

and, you know, all the issues

that have happened with these

things and they still embrace

it.

So you would just embrace it no

matter what?

Yeah, no.

Matter how, look at this

horrible looking doll of myself.

Yeah, buy it now for 1999.

Got a point?

The fact that he hates it might

make us all more get this

limited edition Boots doll that

I can't stand.

I mean, it's definitely a rare

commodity at this point.

I would like one of these right

for whatever reason.

Just to have, yeah.

Right.

I don't know how you set them on

fire.

That's insanity.

They didn't look like they had

little clothes on.

Look like they're all one color.

Maybe you did it to make them

more rare.

No, I don't.

I think that.

I think that he had this come to

Jesus moment where he's like,

what am I doing?

I can't.

Yeah.

What am I going to do with these

now?

I don't know how you green light

stuffies.

I know that you said that you'd

be OK with it.

Would you be OK with making your

own stuffies boots?

Yeah, sure, why not?

I think it's a little, I think

it's a little crazy, but the

next.

Step from AT shirt with my

likeness on it.

That's just hilarious.

Well, yeah, but the doll would

look like the guy in the T-shirt

I'm picturing.

You have a doll made of you.

The bobble head.

Yeah.

Yeah, It's in my house.

Yeah.

Thanks so much.

You're welcome.

You want to know why it's at my

house?

Because it's hideous and I don't

know what to do with it.

Oh, but he won't throw it away.

And I won't throw it away.

To be to be fair.

And I'm Naked and I'm wearing a

towel.

Yeah, we weren't, we weren't

aware of that.

We.

Did not know about that.

So yeah, that is not shown in

the order.

Form.

So that's a little.

That's to make it even creepier.

If anybody would like to buy it

for $400.

The little tiny king Wiener was

not.

It's was not.

Featured is one of the options.

It's not for sale and it's not

anatomically correct.

Maybe.

No, not true.

And he's too skinny.

Well, that was when you were

starting.

It's a bobble head, not a bobble

body, right?

Yeah.

No, we only got to design the

head.

Did you guys collaborate on that

or?

Did you don't Remember Me taking

all the pictures?

We did, yeah.

Yeah, so.

Nobody ever questions me around

here.

I took I I need a left right.

Problem with the fact that

nobody ever questions you.

Sometimes it it just it's so

amazes me that I mean I need a

left, right and full face photo

and then they go OK.

Yeah, I I told Palmer I was

like, man, how we're going to

get these photos.

And the next day he came back

here.

I got all the photos.

I'm like, how'd you get all

that?

He's like, oh, I just took the

pictures.

They didn't ask me how much I.

Just figured you were creating

something right?

Exactly.

That's what I mean.

I mean, how much?

How much stuff do you create

every week?

Right.

No, no, I understand why you

didn't.

But sometimes some of the things

I do, I'm like, I don't know why

people don't ask questions.

Here, stand over here, get naked

and hold this doll.

I knew, right?

OK.

It's not like you asked me to

take my pants off or something.

You know what?

I that might not be a no.

There would at least be

hesitation.

Are you sure Right now?

Yeah, right now.

Does it have to be now and right

now I got to do it now.

In front of all these people,

even Greg.

He was like he did, he didn't,

not when I got done.

He didn't go.

What was that for?

He just went back to work.

Yeah, well, we got stuff to do.

We don't have time for your

fucking nonsense for.

Your shenanigans what he's

doing.

Yeah, so I'm looking forward to

hopefully obtaining a soccer

doll.

No.

So if you get your hands on this

like a doll, we would like to

have.

Steve, send me a doll please.

Because apparently everybody

listens to the show, so you can

ask.

Who?

I think if Abe sends one, I'll

have to send him something in

return.

Boxes of something.

But just go get it.

Just bring a plushy doll of you.

Make a plushy doll of you.

We'll do a.

Trade.

A plushy doll, Greg.

I don't want a plushy doll of

me.

How about Greg?

Who's going to buy that?

It's not a buying thing, it's a

trading.

Thing nobody who knows who Greg

is.

Nobody knows.

Who Greg is, we can.

Use Sasaka 1 and say that's

Greg.

Thomas is Greg.

Put a hat slightly skew.

There you go.

There you go.

All right, turning to the cigar

news.

Very rare, super exclusive

Amazon basin tobacco is being

made into a second type of

cigar.

It's again, they haven't.

There's so much another rare

one.

They have more canoes.

Another more canoes.

General Cigar has announced the

release of ACEO Amazon Basin

Dagger.

The Amazon Basin Dagger is a

limited edition that brings the

brand's popular Amazon Basin

blend into a compact 4 by 38

format.

The Amazon Basin Daggers are set

to hit stores in June of 2025.

The filler for the Dagger blend,

similar to the original Amazon

Basin, features the rare and low

yield Brazilian.

I can't pronounce that word.

Braganca.

Braganca.

Braganca.

BRAGANCA Braganca the unique

tobacco is grown organically in

pristine remote areas of the

Amazon rainforest is harvested

only once every three years

after the harvest, the tobacco

leaves are carefully rolled into

tubes referred to as carrots.

These carrots are then subject

to high pressure fermentation

before.

Carrots are carrots.

What is it?

I'm going with either or.

OK.

So you're just mixing it up to

cover both bases, Yes.

I have a transported by canoe

from the depths of the

rainforest.

So this super rare limited

tobacco that one every three

years, once every three years,

we can only make these cigars,

except now we can also make

these cigars.

Now we have some more.

The canoe people were doing such

a good job, but we have extra.

You know what it is, is I think

that they've been using those

evotol those, you know those.

Oh, the flying the cars.

Things to get it out of the

Amazon.

How did they take off all the

trees on the wind?

They're like.

Incas they created a an Amazon

Amazonian it's B and.

D and four deforested.

Yeah, they deforested A helipad.

They did, and they gave it a

charging station.

Oh, and a charging station.

Oh, the filler of the Cao Amazon

basin contains Colombian and

Dominican tobacco.

Additionally, the cigar

incorporates an Ecuadorian

Sumatra wrapper and Nicaraguan

binder.

Well, there's not a lot of that

super rare tobacco in this, it

seems.

Yeah, well, they got to keep it

limited.

You know what?

I.

Mean it's just a little sprinkle

dinkle.

Boop.

Yeah, just boop, Boop.

A little sprinkle, get the

shaker out.

We got to come over here.

There we go.

Too much, Too much.

Production comes from SGGS dele

in Nicaragua.

Dagger comes packed in five pack

paper bundles.

Each five pack is priced at.

Anybody want to guess this super

super?

Rare, but it's.

Acao, it's a 4 by 38 you said.

Seeing this as a little bit.

It is 4 by something, I don't

remember what.

It's a little cigar.

It's a little cigar.

I'm going to say $8.

Well it's a 5 bucks.

It's a 5 pack.

It's a 5 pack sold in A5 pack.

So 40 bucks.

Boots $20. 2499 for this $25.25

dollars is super rare tobacco.

So it's $5 a cigar, yes.

I knew is it super?

Rare.

Super rare.

The big one's only like 10

bucks, yeah.

Wow, this could be a bad name

for the cigar.

It's, it's apparently very cheap

to bring it up by canoe, right?

Yeah.

Very cost effective.

Well, they don't charge any

money to.

Do the canoe, it's like 1 goat.

Is it GOAT Only $10?

Yeah, it's a goat for all the

tobacco.

Oh yeah.

What a deal.

A counter display is also

available to retailers.

Oh, a goat you can milk I.

Wonder if the counter display

looks like a goat?

2 goats.

You know what they should look

like?

A canoe if they were smart.

It's going to look like a

dagger.

The retail display the.

Name is Dagger, yeah.

Knives and backpacks, baby,

Let's go.

Oh, that's Gurkha.

Different company.

Oh, online cigar sales in

Connecticut to remain legal.

A bill they could have outlined

online sales of cigars to

consumers in Connecticut has

once again been modified, this

time removing the language that

would have banned those cigar

shipments.

Assuming the bill does not get

modified again, non face to face

sales of cigars will remain

legal in Connecticut.

The HB7275 is a bill that aims

to introduce new restrictions

for the shipments of E

cigarettes and vaping products

to consumers in Connecticut.

They've taken the cigar part

out.

However, various alliterations

of the bill have also contained

language that would have made it

illegal for retailers to ship

cigars to consumers in

Connecticut.

This included versions that

outright banned the shipments,

as well as other versions that

would have would have allowed

for the shipments of premium

cigars.

So as long as cigars were

handmade, didn't contain added

flavoring, and had a wholesale

price of at least $30, which

would have banned the shipment

of most cigars.

Now all the language is gone.

How do you think?

How would they regulate that

shipments going in to

Connecticut?

Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe that was what they they

then.

Maybe that's why they took it

out.

You mean like by the mail, is

what you're saying?

I don't know.

Yeah, it's I.

Mean it would have been like

shipping cigars to a foreign

country.

There's ways to do it.

Well, importation and and into

another country, you have to

disclaim what's in the

packaging.

Right.

Maybe that was part of the plan,

too.

They went, how do you do that?

You know how many packages come

in there?

This is Connecticut.

We can't even stop all the

cocaine.

Right.

There's a lot of cocaine in

Connecticut.

There's a lot of cocaine that

goes by mail.

Into Connecticut.

I'm sure.

Both start with CS.

Interesting.

Yeah, it was AC state.

It's an it's an interesting

take, All right, Stop shipping,

shipping some cocaine to

Connecticut.

It's a very big, it's a big

thing.

It's a.

Big industry.

It's a big industry.

There, Yeah.

I think this is like one of

those laws that somebody was

like pissed off about cigars or

something, and they were like,

you know what, we're going to

make this law and everybody

didn't raise their hand.

You know, just the one guy I

did.

Just the one guy who wrote it.

Yeah.

All in favor.

Come on guys.

Come on, I mean you would hope

that you would see more

deregulation of just tobacco use

in general.

Unfortunately with the E cig

stuff it's continuing to ramp

up.

I think it got it just got

lumped in.

When they were writing I just

don't.

I'm just not OK with the

regulation of the E cigs either.

I.

Mean, I'm, I'm seeing cigars are

being more accepted than any

other tobacco.

I mean, like, OK, let's say for

instance, in Volusia County,

right on the beaches, the only

thing you're allowed to smoke on

the beach is a cigar.

Yeah.

You can't smoke cigarettes, you

can't smoke weed, you can't

smoke vapes, none of that stuff.

Well, the problem with all that

stuff is the residue, like the

cigarettes, the little filters

and stuff.

But even like the vapes.

Well, vapes people are leaving

those on the beach.

The battery's dead.

Nah, Chuck it.

I always bury, I mean.

Well, the cigar.

Yeah, this is bad, but I always

bury them at the end of my

cigar.

And you always bury your vape.

No, no, the cigar I bury.

I bury my cigars at the beach.

Why?

Don't you just break them apart?

They're leaves.

Well, it's going to break apart

anyways, but just bury it.

It's all you got to do is just

RIP it open.

What's left?

Oh OK, well, ties you make a

little ashtray in the sand

anyway.

Oh yeah, look at you.

Yeah, Cover.

It up when I'm done.

Yeah, I dig my heel.

That way the ash doesn't blow

around.

Either you know it would be even

better is if you just broke them

apart.

Well, when it's hot, how do I do

that?

It smolders.

It doesn't take a long time for

it to smolder out.

Can I take all my my cigar butts

and make another cigar?

There are people that take cigar

butts and put them in pipes.

That sounds disgusting, but you

can do whatever you want.

I mean you can.

You can take Michael's cigar

butts and smoke them if you

wanted.

To you can put them all together

and shove them up your butt if

you wanted.

To.

I don't do any of that.

That sound like a complete.

Yeah, I.

Don't want none of that.

Did he just say he has a couple

over there?

He's getting started, Yeah.

Yeah, it's like, it's like a

tobacco butt.

Chugging is what you're about to

do.

Oh, it's that new age.

That new age stuff, New age,

it's perfectly legal at this

point.

All right, hooting young ships.

The Paladin.

Connecticut.

Are they sending cocaine to

Colorado or Connecticut?

Possible they're sending Paladin

Connecticut.

It's a Connecticut cigar.

Oh, not to Connecticut.

Oh, so it's coming from

Connecticut?

Well, no, it's probably rolled

down in South America somewhere.

Hooten Young has shipped a new

addition to its Paladin series,

which the company calls a

tribute to the brave men and

women of the US and armed

forces.

The Paladin Connecticut is a 6

by 52 Toro made with an

Ecuadorian Connecticut.

See it's Ecuadorian Connecticut

seed wrapper covering a

Nicaraguan binder and filler.

The blend was developed with the

assistance of Cordova Morales

and is being made at the

Tablicalera CM factory in

Nicaragua.

So.

Each cigar is MSRP of anybody.

$16.00 it's.

Hooten Young.

Hooten Young.

Probably 20 bucks.

Good Omar Morales cigar. 16.

$10.10 It's package in 4 packs

priced at $40 each.

Cigar prices are trending in the

other world.

It sounds like you're.

Yeah, you're starting to hear.

Things are coming down.

Some pullback I think.

The cigar honors those who led

the calm, determination and

strength, said Norm Hooten,

founder and president of Hooten

Young, in a press release.

So our ongoing collaboration

with Cordova Morales, we've

developed a cigar worthy of the

Paladin name, subtle, smooth

with body, and debuts in our

lineup thanks to the

overwhelming response and

ongoing requests from both

retail partners and loyal

consumers.

This is the second regular

production release in Hooton

Young's Paladin series,

following the original Paladin

that debuted in 2022.

Cigar is a 6 by 52 Toro package

in a 20 count box supporting A

camouflage design that is made

with Ecuador and Hermano Clara

wrapper covering Nicaraguan

tobacco in the binder and

filler.

The box has a camouflage design

or the cigar.

The box OK, so once you put it

down you can't find it.

Oh God.

In an e-mail, John Carney told

Cigars With Pod Guys that the

Four Count Bundles of Platin

Connecticut began shipping to

retailers on May 27th and the 20

Count boxers are scheduled to

launch in late June.

Carney leads Bentley's Tobacco

USA, which has a service

agreement to manage Hooten

Young's premium cigar operation.

I'm interested to try this one

for 10 bucks.

Yeah, I think Gordo Morales

makes some good stuff.

They do make good stuff.

They make the BDP excellent

cigar they do.

Probably one of their better

ones.

It's probably the best one.

Well, it's nice you to say, but

I'm not that pretentious.

Are you sure?

But the new stuffed animal?

The new stuffed animal style BDP

dolls will come with.

BDP, you got that pretentious.

However, you will have blood

cheese.

I will make my own stuffed

animal, OK?

Gurkha announces a price

increase due to tariffs.

Trending in the other direction.

Well, let's see what the

percentage is.

Now, there's a reason this is a

standout story.

They came back with the knives.

Gurkha has announced that it is

raising the cost of some of its

cigars due to the recently

implemented tariffs on foreign

made goods.

However, the company isn't

saying how much.

They're not disclosing which

lines and they're not saying how

much the increase is going to

be.

So we're raising prices.

Yes, and we don't how much, how

much we're not saying.

It depends on the retailer.

Ask me which cigars.

Which cigars?

We're not saying.

Wouldn't you want to?

Know ask me when it starts.

When does it start?

We're not saying sometime soon.

The only thing that the company

has confirmed is that the

increase will go into effect.

Oh, they are saying on Monday,

June 2nd.

So the increase went into effect

yesterday.

Did you get any information?

No, no.

This is what I love about the

cigar industry, the complete

disorganization of all of it.

Well, the company made the

announcement via press release

that was sent to media.

When asked for specifics about

the increase, a representative

said the company is not

discussing anything further.

We don't know.

We're doing an increase.

We're not telling you we know

that.

It's more.

Right, it started yesterday.

What do you want from us?

Why are you being so hostile?

Why are you being so pushy?

Well, we got a factor in the

knife cost, you know what I

mean, right?

10% increase on the knife.

China, you know, probably more

than 10.

Those will come from Nicaragua.

I don't know what the Chinese 1

is now.

Is it 13?

I think.

I don't know.

Backpacks if we're probably from

India.

We worked out a deal with India.

Oh, did we?

Yeah.

Oh excellent, but it might have

voodoo stuff on it and could be

Kalima.

Chatide.

Yeah.

Like that?

You knew that, Kalima.

Look at you.

Said it earlier, Did I?

Yeah.

Plus, I do know that from the

movie.

I like the movie.

OK, all right, now it's time for

everybody's favorite.

We just, we just burned right

through that one.

You just, you wanted to get to

this.

Yeah, well, I.

Mean, what else are we going to

say?

There's no information.

It's just what they're doing.

Prices are going up.

Maybe prices?

No, they're going up for sure.

Yesterday.

They went up yesterday.

Right.

For what we don't know.

We don't know.

On what we have no idea.

OK, oh, this is.

Jim OH prices would have $5 each

cigar.

No, no, we're not saying.

Oh.

OK.

So when you place your order,

who knows what the invoice will

say?

OK, so again you have half wheel

reviews.

Yes, this is we have I have two

half wheel reviews this.

Week and we have no idea what

the reviews are on.

Correct, as long as you didn't.

Look, I have not looked OK.

I get my news on how to find

half wheel.

You're my news source.

That's it.

OK.

And we are going to guess what

the rating is as soon as you say

the the I'm going to.

Give you information about the

cigar A.

Description.

A description, I'm going to give

you a couple of clues, right?

And then as we're, there will be

places we stop where you guys

guess the score.

But we're I'm going to start

with once after you give the

title, the name of it and who

the author is from.

Yes.

You'll give a flat answer then.

Then as you get these clues, you

can change your score.

OK.

And then I will give you the

final thoughts on the cigar and

the actual score all.

Right.

So we've done two of these

before, yes, One I was dead on,

yes.

And the second one I was off by

1.

Off by one.

OK, he was wrong on both, all

right.

Yeah, he's like 3.

All right, this is the Charlie

Minato review all.

Right Minato's tough.

All right, Cigar reviewed.

Is it Lido Gomez Emerod?

OK.

Lido Gomez.

So it's LFD.

It's Dominican.

Yes, I'm going to say that this

thing hits a 90 flat.

All right, boots. 88. 88 and a

90 OK all right Country of

origin Dominican Republic

Factory tablet Calera LFD right

rappers Dominican Republic

binder Dominican Republic filler

Dominican Republic.

OK, you're giving.

Me 6 inch by 54.

OK, it's a little big.

M you want the MSRP, Does that

affect the score at all?

Yeah, it will.

All right, 2599.

Whoo, it's up there.

A cigar, OK.

Release date was December of

2024.

OK.

And he always smokes 3 cigars.

Apparently that's Charlie's.

At the same time.

Right.

Anybody want to change anything?

Now you know what's in it.

No, I like.

It $25 cigar.

Is it a box press?

Doesn't say no.

It's 6 by 54.

Standard 6 by 54 that would.

Have been in the size the

vitola.

And it's what's the wrapper?

It's all Dominican.

It just says Dominican.

Dominican doesn't say.

It doesn't say anything else,

Nothing specific.

All right, I'm going to stick

with 90 and keep moving.

All right, you sticking with 88

over there boots?

Yep, sticking 88.

All right, here's the first

hint.

Upon cutting, the 1st and 3rd

cigars caps unravel while the

second cigars cap waits to come

off until I stick it in my

mouth. 87.

Needless to say, it's a problem

with these three cigars.

Wait till the end of the clue.

OK, that's the first clue.

OK, changing I'm yeah, OK, OK, I

moved down to 8888.

Boots, you were at 88.

We're going to 87. 87 He's

playing the prices.

Right, he doesn't want to be.

All right, clue #2 better yet,

the flavors are great.

There are many different types

of woodiness, sweet, savory, and

even a bit juicy with some

meatiness, waffle cone sweetness

and sharpness.

OK.

That's clue #2.

And we know who wrote this.

Charlie All right, So where you

at?

He's at 87, You're going to 88.

No, he's going back up to 80.

Eight, he said.

It's juicy.

I'm going to go, I'm going to go

89.

So you went up one, all right.

Third and final clue.

My largest frustration in the

first third is that the flaky

ash of the 1st and 2nd cigars

makes a huge mess.

The third cigar has a much

better ash and enjoyable flavor,

though I have to use my lips to

push the unraveling wrapper up

to get good puffs.

This is such a weird description

just by the way.

I know I like lips.

I like juiciness.

He's.

Struggling on the burn.

He's struggling.

On the burn, so it's short

filler.

Not necessarily, no.

It's possible, but when it's

flaky like that, yeah.

Just to summarize, he's got

construction problems, he likes

the flavor and the ash is

falling off all over the place

and one of them he has to hold

together in his mouth as he

smokes.

It but it's juicy.

But it tastes.

Yeah, that was the flavor.

He enjoys the flavors.

And it's expensive.

I think I'm a stick.

Stick with 87, Michael.

I'm going to hang tight at 89.

89 All right, final thoughts.

Sometimes it's tough to figure

out there's anything to say at

the end of a review, but this

time it's tough to figure out

what to focus on.

My overall enjoyment of the

cigar was most Hanford by the

across the board unraveling of

the caps.

A major annoyance.

However, the score was most

impacted by the massive amount

of sharpness in the second

halves of the first two cigars.

Admittedly, both Patrick and I

were somewhat surprised by how

high the score was.

Most of the first half of these

cigars were like pass Lito Gomez

cigars I smoked very good.

It became a mixed bag after

that, but I suppose even a

problematic version of a good

blend is slightly better than

average final score.

Boots. 87.

I'm sticking 89. 87. 87 I won

one.

Yep, one for booty.

He's he learned, he reviewed, he

watched the shorts over and over

again.

Oh, did he right?

He did.

He's like, yeah.

All right.

The next cigar was reviewed by

Brooks.

OK.

OK.

The cigar reviewed is a 90

Davidoff Escuro 10th Anniversary

Limited Edition.

OK.

Oh, oh, you want us to?

Now you do your initial.

I'm going 90.

Yeah, he's sticking with 90

booty.

I'm going to go, I mean the the

dabbed off, I'm going to go 8.

I'm going to start at 87.

OK, All right, the Dominican

Republic cigar.

OK, obviously cigars were made

in the dabbed off factory,

right?

It's in Ecuador and Habano

Rapper Binders Brazil, Filler

Brazil and Dominican Republic.

It's a 6 by 56.

It's round and it sells for $37.

A box of 12 is $444.

Release date came out in 2025.

You don't need to know in

October and he I guess 3 cigars

is the.

Rule This is a tough one.

Habano, it's a Habano Escudo I

would have just a.

Did I say escudo?

I think he just said Habano.

Well, the brand says it's in.

What's the what's it called?

I don't.

Know I got to back up.

I think it's called the

Escuduro.

Yeah, I think it was too.

All right.

So it's got to be.

That wasn't in the description.

Well, it was also a Dominican

cigar.

So it's a mano, it's Dominican,

It's it's got Brazilian binder,

Brazilian fillers, but it's big.

It's a 64 gauge.

You said yes.

Damn, that's big.

Big cigar, no taste.

Big Davidoff cigar.

OK, I'm going to go 88.

So you were at 99 down to 88.

You were at 87.

I mean, all hints from Mikey

mean Brooks like really scores

these things pretty high.

Brooks has a well you got to

know the audience, right?

So or, or, or the reviewers.

So Brooks has a tendency to be a

little more favorable when it

comes to flavour profiles.

Charlie is very in depth and and

more scrutinous as far as you

know his feelings on the

ratings.

The funny part is that both of

them are normally right when

they when they give a rating

review.

You just got to know the guy,

right?

So if Charlie gives something an

88, it's probably a good cigar,

right?

If Brooks gives something an 88,

it may or may not be good.

Any idea how low they've ever

scored anything?

I don't know the absolute lowest

but I just want to know

something pelts in a 70.

I'm instantly want to smoke it.

It's bad.

Yeah, I need to know exactly

what that tastes like, right?

All right, first scent.

When squeezed, all three cigars

are extremely spongy, but only

my second cigar has a soft spot

located just under the secondary

band.

So it's under filled.

Yeah, I'm a Go 85.

I'm.

Just reading the hints.

OK, I'm going to go 87.

All right, clue #2 there are 0

issues with construction as all

three cigars feature great draws

along with copious amounts of

smoke, and I did not even have

to glance at my lighter.

Of course, because they're

underfilled and it's a huge

gauge, that makes sense.

I'm a stick.

You're stick 80.

Five yeah, 85 I'm.

Going to go 88. 88 Third and

final clue Flavor remains at

full, the strength increases to

a solid medium, and the body

hits a point just under the

medium mark.

OK.

I'll go to 86.

I think 88's where it's going to

where it's going to pelt. 8688

Yep, All right.

The original Escuro blend has

never been one of my favorite

Davidoff creation.

Thankfully, the Davidoff Escuro

10th Anniversary Limited Edition

is a different cigar altogether.

In fact, this is a cigar that I

wish the original Squirrel was.

It is more complex, more

balanced, and more engaging,

with an interesting combination

of lime on the finish and fruity

sweetness on the retro hail.

Then there's the construction,

which was flawless on two of the

three cigars and extremely good

on the last one.

If the blend had just a bit more

inherent body and a tad more

sweetness, it would really bump

into the stratosphere.

Where even those minor quibbles.

I can tell you these are ready

to smoke now and would highly

recommend that you try them if

you can find them.

Boots, I'm going to 90.

Sounds like this guy's all in on

these.

You're going 90.

Yeah, I can see how you would

raise that there.

That makes sense.

Yeah, 'cause his whole

description was not great, but

then all of a sudden it's like

you got to buy these.

Yeah, I wish another cigar was

just like this cigar you said.

I'm going to stick with 88. 91 2

day for booty.

Well, you know, he was.

He was closer.

He.

Was closer.

That was such a crazy

description though.

Like.

It was These are so bad.

These are bad, but they taste

great.

Oh, I wish all of them were like

this.

Yeah, that's a Brooks rating.

I should have, so now I know the

two guys.

I should have known better.

Well, there's.

More.

Yeah, there could be.

Yeah, there could be another

one, too.

I'll try to find a Patrick 1

next week.

OK.

All right.

flavored Asylum 13 Split

You know what?

Right.

They're, you know, they're

trying to tap into that flavor

profile and somebody would do

it.

Not only, not only are they

trying to do that.

They made a 770, a giant banana

cigar.

I'm not going to lie, I do want

to smoke one banana split.

I want to smoke one.

Too.

I would like to try one as well.

I'm intrigued.

Who do we get Cao from?

Not the 770 though.

I don't want.

I don't want the 770 in my life.

No, no, I don't want the big

one.

No, no, I just any of us want to

try one?

I don't even know who our Cle

Rep is anymore to be honest.

I don't need a IS.

His name?

Mike.

No, no.

No, maybe Greg will not.

He was.

Greg, we need 3 banana cigars.

Yes.

Not the big one.
