Oh.

Yeah. Nice. It's pretty good. Yeah.

It's not bad. Now, let's get into the lounge, shall we? Certainly. Some comments.

Yes. But before that, make sure you like and subscribe. We're reviewing or listening to this show. com for all your chpod swag, where we're accepting pre-orders on the quarter zip sweatshirt that Mr.

Palmer is wearing. That's a good idea. So nice. He doesn't know how to show off this sweater.

I don't know what the thing is. I'd have to stand up. Yours will be a little bit higher, but that's the first one. Pressure is a privilege on the sleeve with the CH pod.

My pressure is lower. It's heavier. It's a little less pressure? No, it's more.

It's down lower. It's more pressure? More pressure. Okay.

com, Ozcigaros' podcast where we do reviews. Wow, that food smells good. I can't smell it. We do reviews, as well as talk more inside baseball about what's going on inside the industry.

A lot of baseball. A lot. We don't cover baseball at all, actually. Some comments from the previous show.

CW6383 says, "Morgan Fairchild, googly eyes, the king is turning into the next Steve Jobs, and as always, the non-gym-going, handcuff-loving BDP is keeping us entertained, as always. " Yes. Yeah, that was a good show. They're all good shows.

Well, except the one. Some are better than others. Except the one. Well, yes, some are better than others.

@kiwigman says, Mike, when Charlie Minato asked you for more information on the War Bear, did you give your usual reply of 81? Of course. 81 exclamation mark. And then we put out the press release.

Yeah. It just worked that way. It didn't do it on purpose. No.

Never again. No. Never again. Never forget.

At Jared Harper from the CH Pod Lounge, says, "Hilarious episode, fellas. Laughed out loud at Mike's response. " So good. What was it?

"I took the five minutes to watch" thing? What was it? I think it was a joke because the show was so short. oh yeah that was nice yeah yeah it took five minutes at iheart triple g says badges we don't need no stinking badges uh well well you got badges their badges coming their badges they're officially up at christopher weiss what if we actually made badges that said ch bottom we'll work on that we'll this is listen this is just in like the the beginning like actual badges right Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like real actual badges.

Okay, I mean, maybe. I'm just working on-- Somebody will end up in jail. I'm working on the-- yeah, no kidding. Excuse me, sir, you're going, hey, CH Bob.

Excuse me. Part of the pod. They said it gets me out of tickets. Yeah, just wave it when you're going through TSA.

Well, it'll be like the people that had the fake clergy badges. Same idea. That's all-- don't-- you're good. I'm good, you're good.

I'm good, you're good, we're all good. You saw the show, right? That was fine. Yeah.

Everything's acceptable. Just need a badge now. " Oh, that's a good question. That is a great question.

And the question, the answer to your question is yes. Your previous orders will count towards badges. And if you log in and you look at your humidor, you should already have badges. Now, I checked it out last night.

Yes. And I was like, ooh, this looks really good, and it looked like it all worked, which usually means that it did not all work. Yeah, it did not all work. Usually there's some snags along the way.

So, as you kind of go check it out and you're playing with it, let me know. Let me know what I'm missing, what the snags are. That doesn't work. Yeah, that's very important.

So, yeah. And then, like, the next phase is going to be integrating into CHPod so that when you comment, your badges show. Oh. Yeah, that's going to be pretty cool.

That's going to be messy. Can I have a special badge? Yeah, what do you want? A CHPod.

A CHPod badge? Yeah. I wonder if there's a way to prove that you've watched X amount of... You can answer a question.

I don't know. I'll figure that out. But that would be cool. At iHeartBDP says, I would definitely subscribe to a BDP only fans.

- That's weird. - That's not weird at all. - It's weird, yeah, that he thought about it. - He's down.

- All right, well. - Send him some foot pics. - He can just follow me around, take his own pictures. I don't care.

Just give me $50 a month. - $50 a month, and you can just take that, and then-- - Well, I'm here. I mean, that's eight to nine hours a day. - And then he has to take pictures?

- Take his own pictures. Or just follow me around. I mean, just follow me around. - Okay.

- No photos. - @Ben Rowland Rowland Rowland. - Gotta pee, come on, let's go. " Oh, my God.

Yeah. We got some flack, by the way, about your milk and eggs statements. The people overseas are very- Really? Oh, yeah.

They're like- Oh, no. your fake american food i mean like they went hard in the paint yeah oh okay well we have fake milk you have fake milk i mean just like oh okay very violent i thought that the european people were very nice and passive no they don't like depends upon the nation it does germans are dicks yeah english are dicks the french are dicks austrians are kind of nice yeah spanish are very nice yeah i'm rolling out all the stereotypes go ahead let's fire up these comments yeah exactly Exactly. I can't wait for that short clip. Asians are good at math.

Japanese can't drive. Covering all bases. Covering everybody. Let's insult everybody.

" Okay. That was it? What's all you got? I mean, I don't know off the top of my head.

You don't remember what he's referencing? You know what? If only there's a way that we could find out what he's referencing. What were you referencing?

Turn around and ask. Hold on, let me get a zoom in on the right camera. When he was talking about, um, uh, not Sarah Fawcett, but the lady. Oh, Morgan Fairchild.

Yeah, about how she could, ooh, I'm zippered Moomoo, let me see what's in the front of there. Yeah, dummy. Oh, just to comment. Maybe hers has a zipper.

So what the reference was, when you were talking about Morgan Fairchild, you told her to unzip her muumuu, muumus don't unzip. It's like a big sheet that you just kind of slide into. Maybe hers unzips. No, it doesn't.

Maybe. You don't know, she's rich. No, I know. She's Hollywood.

She has custom muumus? She's Hollywood. I'd like a custom muumuu. I'd need it to zip because I can't put my hands over my head anymore.

But then the metal would be cold, you know what I mean, against the skin? Nylon. It's nylon? Nylon.

It's heated, is it a heated zipper? No, no, that would burn. She didn't have a burn mark, looked like she had heart surgery. Low heat.

Oh, just low heat. Yeah. I don't know. Seems a bit bougie.

It's like the next Gary Brecca grounding thing or something. You know what I mean? The what? Like when they're selling the electric things that you plug in and you're grounded.

Yes, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So like a heated zipper. It warms the chest, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, nice. Yeah. Get you one for Christmas.

Oh, perfect. Thank you so much. Because you're always cold. At Corey Davis, from the CH Pod Lounge, also in the CH Pod Lounge, says, at David Hasselhoffman, this is a great point, and I was going to say this, why do you know that, in referencing of Moomoo's?

David, why do you know that? Are you on Morgan Fairchild's OnlyFan? Are you a, are you, do you have muumus? Uh, maybe.

You're a muumuu collector? He's a very rich connoisseur. He's a muumuu connoisseur. Oh, nice.

At Mike Palmer from the CH Pod Lounge. Oh, with the CH Pod badge. With the CH Pod badge. Not sure I would want to be in the, in, in on the Corey and David Carr conversations for 20 hours.

We'll be talking about muumus. They're probably a good conversations. I heard some of the things, not so much. You heard they weren't good conversation?

Right. I don't know. Kind of weird. Awkward.

T Money from the CH Pot Lounge also says: Oh, the winner! Don't worry, Mikey, if the BDP militia is forming, you just have to shut down Country Kitchen Buffet like they did in South Park. Perfect. Uh-oh, my wife is calling me.

Oh, of course she is. Hold on. Let's see. Let's see.

I'm sorry, do you need anything from Costco other than chicken? I don't think so. I don't think so. Curtains!

The curtains! Oh, if we have, if they have those curtains there, let me know, the ones we bought before. Lockdown curtains? Yeah.

Are there black or gray? Gray. All right, love you. Bye.

I mean, we do the show at the same time. I know, I know. She called, she called right at noon. Right, at three and a half.

On the button. Right. I'll catch him before they start. Nope.

Just leave it in. ". How do you know he did this? Oh, because the hand emoji?

Yeah. It's a good, it's a very good Churchill. 0 says, "Morgan Fairchild aged women sound an awful lot like Stan the Man". What's that?

Stan the Man is a character I used to do. He's going way back. Oh. on the other show.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Wow. What a reference.

Morgan Fairchild sounds like Stan the Man. That's incredible. That's funny. Yeah, I got rid of that mask.

I wish I still had it. I'm sure we're one Amazon click away from getting this. Yeah, I'm sure I could find it again. Yeah.

T Money says, from the CH Pod Lounge, says, freaking Palmer can't even pronounce Voitech correctly. What the hell is Voitech? Come on, man. It's true.

I didn't say it any way I want. National Sales Manager. Wow. You hear that?

T-Money, you need to come and save me from this, man. Maybe we'll shut down the buffets. Maybe we start there. Shut down the buffets?

Yeah. That just stops my mafia, not me. Your militia? My militia.

And finally, @MitchSmith from the CH Paw and Lounge says, "came to see my medals. Sad face. " like it would be if you're swallowed or inhaled into your lungs. You tell them.

Yeah. Somebody sent me a good friend. A good friend of mine sent me a video from a guy in the hospital. He's like, you know, I smoke cigars and he's like, just so you know, one cigar is equivalent to a pack of cigarettes a day.

It's all over the Instagram stuff. Only if you eat them, apparently. And I was like, first of all, I'm very grateful that this guy sent it to me because that was very nice of him. You know, he's thinking of me.

And I was like, hey, thank you so much. However, you are kind of misinformed here. And obviously, that guy is misinformed too. Oh, was he mocking the guy making the video or was he informing you on how bad cigars are?

He sent me the video of the guy that was in the hospital. Right, but was he saying, look at this idiot? Or was he saying, you're wrong, this is what happened? No, he sent me this video and said, look, look at what cigar smoking does.

Ah, gotcha. Right. And I'm like, hmm. And you lost me.

First of all, the guy's overweight. The guy in the hospital? Yeah. The guy was overweight.

Oh, not your head. So that's problem number one. Right. Right.

Like, can we talk about your diet for the past 30 years? Yeah, maybe cigars aren't the worst thing ever. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Let's start there. Right. Right. And I'm willing to bet that you're not eating clean, right?

Well, yeah, if he's that big. Well, he is now. Oh, right. Because, you know.

Oh, he's bedridden. Oh, yeah. Ah, gotcha. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, he had to get, like, heart surgery and some other things. Oh. Listen, I know plenty of people that have had heart surgery that don't smoke cigars. Yeah.

Just for the record. My dad didn't. He didn't smoke anything. Right.

Yeah. So, yeah. Well, with that being said... Is that it?

No, I land on the depression. That's all I got. Well, how is that depressing? The guy that talks like that.

He doesn't talk like that. He had a little oxygen thing, and he's like, just so you know, I had to get heart surgery, blah, blah, blah, blah, because I smoke cigars. I'm like, that's not the... I highly doubt that.

That's it. Right. Dude, have you seen a treadmill sauna? Yeah, the guy's the size of the house doctor goes, you should really give up the cigars.

" Like, that's when I look at that guy and I'm like... Maybe he saw the tobacco-free Florida commercial. Yeah, dude. You know, you need to just chill out with all that riff-raff.

Yep. Am I good to go, doc? Because I'd like to get the hell out of here. Well, you can't stand up.

I don't need... You know, there's still that problem. I don't need the lecture from you. Right, I hate lectures from doctors.

But in the meantime, if you want to hear the comment, your comment, read aloud on the show, comment below on this YouTube episode or comment in the CH Pod Lounge for additional praise. Did you read the YouTube comments? That was all of them, yeah. Oh.

I covered it. I didn't hear you say YouTube. I thought maybe- I don't acknowledge it. I had to say- Oh, you don't acknowledge them anyway.

No, I highlight- No. I highlight from the CH Pod Lounge, but I don't highlight. I see. Right?

Are they going over? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, gotcha. All right, news. Smoking this, by the way. Time for the news.

Boom. Yeah, I'm ready. What is it? He's bear.

Oh. He's bear. I like bear. The new bear?

He's the new bear. Oh, look at you. Fancy. On Tuesday, November 3rd, a maintenance technician working in Fargo, North Dakota apartment complex heard cries for help.

Help. Thank you. I was about to get my son. Help me.

He went into the union and found a woman. What do you, how did you find her, guys? She's in a hole. Siggy, with the black eyes?

Stuck in the washing machine. Hmm. Trying to think who's closest. You both have her in something, so neither.

She was chained to the bed. That's amazing. An officer said the chain ran from the right ankle of her right ankle to the bed. Was Siggy seen leaving the, fleeing the scene?

Only the, I think we have the man's name here shortly. Was there an upside down pineapple at the door? There was. Yeah.

Yes. Knew it. Well, it wasn't, it's at an angle because he's adjacent. Oh, it's adjacent.

Not all the way in. Got it. The worker reported seeing a security camera pointed at her and court documents say the bedroom windows were covered with foil. Okay.

Speaking through an interpreter. Some kinky stuff going on there. She was speaking through an interpreter because she does not speak English. The woman said her ex-husband brought her from Mexico to Fargo in 2024 and kept her confined in the apartment for two years this lady was chained to the bed.

Was it a comfy bed? I'm guessing no. Goose Down? I'm guessing no.

Pillow topper? I'm guessing more like metal frame Walmart bed. Oh, in an apartment? Yes.

Okay. She alleged that both suspects beat and sexually assaulted her. Officers noted... Both subjects?

Yeah, apparently there's two. There's two husbands? How did that... You just said the husband.

Now all of a sudden there's two people? Hold on. The woman said her ex-husband brought her... Ex-husband?

Yeah, her ex-husband. " Come to Fargo. Right. She alleged that both...

Well, let's see who the other suspect is. Beat her and sexually assaulted her. Officers noted bruising on her face and body, and she was taken to a hospital. Okay.

Her ex-husband, Arturo Calzada Bursaral, 40, and Arenda Morales, 41, the new wife. Oh, the new wife. Hey, we can get the old wife and do a despicable... Yeah, you know what I really like to do?

Bang my old wife while we chain her to the mat. Well, they never said that that happened. Oh, I guess sexually assaulted. Yeah, they didn't.

Sexually assaulted sort of means banger. We can do terrible things to a person together. Right. That brings you closer.

Brings you closer? Yeah, I would think, you know. All right. They appeared in court Friday, November 6th.

Number six, both faced kidnapping and additional charges, and a judge set the bond at $500,000 each. That doesn't sound like enough. 500,000? Yeah.

I really don't think they have it. Siggy, does that sound like enough? You based your bond off the person's ability to pay. Right.

So if these guys are poor as dirt, that's probably why the judge did it. Those huge bonds are just from the super rich people. Gotcha. There are people out there, $500,000.

Right, no problem. So it's not like we need to keep this person in jail, let's set the bail high. Yeah. Yeah.

They said it based on what they think they can afford? What they can't afford. Well, to keep them in jail. Oh, but they can't afford.

Yeah. Ah, I got you. People living just doors away told local reporters they were stunned. We had no idea, they said.

One long-time tenant said, you know, there was foil on the window, but I didn't really think what it was for. Usually for like, I would assume at that point somebody was growing something illegal in there. You know what I mean? Well, could be.

They could have just been, you know, maybe the guy works nights and sleeps days. So it puts tinfoil up on the window? To block the light. And that's what I did when I was working nights.

Yeah. And he didn't grow anything. Tinfoil and duct tape just so I could sleep during the day. He grew stuff.

It was a gross. I was a dirty cop, of course. Yeah. Yeah.

You ever see Training Day? Yes. That was based around Siggy. Oh, was it really?

Yeah. Oh. You and my first Iona. Right.

The big speech at the end. Oh, boy. Wow. Yeah.

Okay. Scary. Right. Yeah.

Exactly. Hmm. So if you heard somebody, but why didn't she scream before? Why'd she only scream when the worker was next door?

Maybe she did scream and no one heard her. But the worker working next door after two years heard her? Yeah. Maybe they didn't understand her because she doesn't speak English.

Ayudarme. Is that help in Spanish? Mm-hmm. Help me.

Help me? They're like, oh, somebody's cooking next door. Yeah. Oh, look at that.

Look at that. She's very excited. Wow! Well, she's screaming!

I mean, this poor woman is... Two years! is a mess now. Right!

Yeah, traumatized for life. Don't worry, the short clips are going to make you look like a bad guy and people are going to say all kinds of despicable things. I know, I know, all despicable things, right, right. I know.

Who's this guy? Who's he thinking? Piece of crap! Where's his wife?

She chained to the bed? Yeah, what a loser. I got two ex-wives and I got three bedrooms, so you gotta figure it out. Lots of tinfoil.

Lots of people chaining up. He's got lots of tinfoil. All right, Microsoft AI wants to edit what you say while you say it. Yeah.

They filed for a patent on this technology to where like you and I are talking. Yeah. They could change what we say as we're talking live. Okay.

If we were live stream. We don't live stream. Okay. To keep it, keep it G rated?

No, no. To say things that we don't want to say. Really? Yes.

Hold on. Trying to get past the opening because I already said that. The application describes working within a short broadcast delay, roughly one to ten seconds, the AI would change the audio and adjust the speaker's mouth movements to match. That's creepy.

Isn't it? Yeah. And they gave them the patent. Yeah, why would they not?

Well, I mean, because then they could make you say things that you don't want to say. They can make the president say things he didn't want to say. Okay. If they can hack into the live feed.

They can hack in. Right. Microsoft, Bill Gates. We watched it live.

We saw what you said. Yeah, we watched it live. I mean, even your mouth moves correctly. Now you can't trust anybody.

Oh, wait. You couldn't trust them before. Yeah, you can't trust them before. Yeah.

We don't know. The government might have this stuff now. Yeah. Think cutting, uh, and mm, fixing a mispronounced word, or swapping out profanity on the show.

That's what they said it was for. See, I told you. That's what they said it was for. Keep a G-rated, buddy.

That's not what it's for. That's what it's for. That's not what it's for. That is 100% what it's for.

No, it's not. You'll be fine. Yes, it is. No, it's not.

It's for the safety. That's what they're saying. It's not what it'll be used for. It's for your safety.

It's not what it'll be used for. Yes, it is. So, what do you think? Evil Sig, what do you think?

Evil Sig. Absolutely. It's probably built for that, but, you know, somebody that's got the feed and wants to be nefarious about it. Right.

You know, it starts with a joke. Let's make, you know, the president say banana 27 times. Right. Oh, banana.

Start singing the song, Don't Put a Banana in My Butt. And then what? No, I don't know if he starts singing that, but that'd be weird. It's crazy that you went there, but all right.

Well, you said banana. No big deal. Weird flex. But that's the good application.

Right. Of course, some people are going to use the bad application. That's how it always runs down. Right.

The evil villains. Do you think it has to disclose AI live yaddy yaddy? Well, probably it's supposed to, but if you're doing something bad, you're not going to put that in. Right.

Like social media now will say if it's an AI image. Right. in the tiniest little writing up top, which, right. Yeah.

Boop. Uh, I've been told lately my stuff doesn't have that on it. What stuff? There was something I did that was AI and somebody asked me, uh, something and I went, Oh no, no, that was an AI.

And they go, Oh, it didn't label it as AI. It was too authentic. I fooled the filter. You did.

Was it Instagram or Facebook? Facebook. I feel like it's easy to fool Facebook. I figured it'd be easier to fool Instagram.

Really? Well, they're the same company. Yeah, but they seem less strict. TikTok does the most ridiculously strict thing ever.

Oh, yeah, I mean, if you say anything, do not say anything. We saw a cigar in your hand. Blocked. Banned for life.

Shut it down. Shut it down. It doesn't matter at this point. If you shut it down, you can just pop up a new one.

Yeah, just make it. Yeah. Well, they want you to go to the trouble. They want you to.

Well, at this point, I don't even have to. I just tell the robot to build me a new one. David Hasselhoffman and Cory saw me working on it today. I was like, "I'm not doing that.

" They started laughing. " Oh, you're arguing with it. Well, no, I'm not arguing with it. The robot said, "Here's the prompts.

I sent all these things. " I was like, "No, I don't. " That's actually for your short clips. Okay.

Is it fixing it? Yeah. It should be all done now. All right.

Picture a guest answering in English while viewers see Spanish and see the guest's lips matching the Spanish words. See that? That's not the only good thing. That's amazing.

That's a good thing. We still can't get our stuff dubbed on YouTube. Well, the problem is though, when you start to, you ever see The Godfather? Yes.

One, two, or three? One. Okay, yes. You know Luca Brazzi?

Yes. He's sleeping with the fishes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He said a word, manchia.

Yeah. And that's actually a bad word in Italian, but they replaced it with "damn" or something like that. But he still says "minkia". Yeah.

Now we're double banned. Yeah. So it's like... What a "minkia" we get through.

Oh my God. Well, we'll find out. Three in now at this point. Yeah.

So like words don't exactly translate over correctly. And like there are times when I'll watch on like HBO and stuff. I'll throw Spanish captions in. Oh.

Yeah, you know, this is how you learn, right? Sure. And I see the words there, I'm like, that is not what that word means. Right.

So that's going to be a problem for this, for sure, you know? Well, you have four to ten seconds. I mean, that's a pretty quick edit. Well, it's AI.

I know it's AI, but still, you have to tell it. Every time he says banana, make sure he says missile? I mean, you have to... Sure.

I figure you're watching it, and he says something, and you don't want him to say that, so you have 4 to 10 seconds to type it, don't say that. I mean, you can make it say whatever you want, it doesn't matter what it's saying, you're gonna morph it into something else. Right, but it's live, you have to tell it when to put it in, or do you tell it in the beginning? He's gonna give a speech on the State of the Union, make sure he says instead.

Right, here are the things that I want him to say. I like that he went right to the President. Well, that's the biggest one. What do you got, Sig?

So, the idioms are going to be hard, because an example, like Americans say the moon's made of cheese. The Japanese say the moon is covered with white rabbits. Picture the machine, like, trying to translate idioms that don't mean the same thing in different languages. That's going to be, because every now and then I switch German idioms with an English one, then people look at me like, what the hell are you talking about?

What are you talking about? It just doesn't make sense in the other language. This large German is not making much sense. He thinks we have fake milk.

He thinks we don't put our eggs in the fridge, you know? Right. Yeah. All right, the application describes tailoring edits to viewers' profiles.

Oh, to profiles, so like you could see something, I could see something different. Oh, that's the next level. That is next level. Microsoft's taking over.

It also describes keeping the original recording for reference. Oh, and then they record this over here, but make sure he sees Spanish, he sees German, and he sees cheese. cheese give him the cheese but the origins over here here's the here's the full regular well they keep that one hidden got it that's you know if a clip goes viral how would you know which version you're seeing maybe the cheese videos like files you know what i mean the truth is out there the filing even mentions correcting information the system identifies as inaccurate or misleading Imagine that happening during a live debate. Who gets to decide what the speaker appears to say?

See, that's what I'm talking about. Right. They're going to change it as they're talking. Microsoft filed the application on April 29, 2025.

S. and there's a long patent number. So they've been granted the patent. Okay.

But they have mentioned there's no product launch. I'm holding it still for you. No, you're not. It's moving like crazy.

In an earthquake. I'm sorry. No, you're not. There you go.

That's better. All right. The story claims a man tried to steal two live lobsters from a Tampa supermarket. In his pants?

In his pants. He allegedly hid both lobsters inside his pants. That's not the good part of the story. There was no rubber bands on the claws?

No, there was rubber bands on the claws. That would have been the best part of the story. He reportedly made it past the checkout area without being stopped in the parking lot. One lobster allegedly clamped onto his testicles.

Oh, it did. It got loose from the rubber band. It escaped. Well, the claw escaped.

Right. The man reportedly collapsed, screaming for help and calling 911. Paramedics reportedly found the lobster still attached when they arrived. They locked them things down.

They don't let go. Yeah, they hold the hang tank. They hold it. It's like a vice.

How much is a lobster worth? I don't know. Depends how big it was. 20 bucks?

Don't they sell by the pound? Ziggy, how much is a lobster? You seem to know everything. That's not an unusual question.

I'm sure he knows. I think they're crazy up there, though, like the real nice ones. Give me a second. I'll look it up.

Okay. Store employees allegedly identified the lobsters as store merchandise. We recognize them, Stu. That's ours.

That's Fred and Wilma from The Tank. Yeah, it's got the public UBC label on it. It's got the public rubber man around his wrist now. You just grab them to scan them.

Boop. Boop. It's ours. Look at that.

And police were called. Okay. So he was arrested. He was arrested.

For shoplifting after they took him to the hospital to treat his testicle. I could think of 700 other things that you used to steal before you steal a lobster. Okay, he had two lobsters. Maybe he had a big date.

Romantic. Yeah, trying to be romantic. They have roses on sale right now. Maybe he couldn't afford the lobster and he bought the roses.

Couldn't show the roses down the pants? They're kind of long. They have thorns. You know, he didn't think the lobster was going to grab him in the nuts.

Yeah. Yes? So, it's between $15 and $35 per pound. So, a large lobster would be between $30 and $150, depending upon the size.

He could have $300 worth of lobster in his pants. All right, so let's split the baby here, call him $60 a pull. $120 worth of lobster. A pull.

Yeah. A pull. Or a clamp, one or the other. Or a clamp.

Right. So, he had $120 in his pants. Well, lobster-wise. We don't know about anything else.

That's not even like, what's the penalty for that? That's not even like grand theft or anything. Is that a felony? It's a petty theft.

It has to be over $700 and $4 to be a felony now. So just petty theft. Petty theft. He's in and out.

Yeah. Honestly, I would not even arrest that dude. Yeah. Because when you arrest him, you get hooked for the hospital bill.

Do you? Oh, do you really? Oh, yeah. If you take somebody in custody, they need medical attention.

Really? So I would, if I were in that case, I'd be like, ah-ha, lobster administer justice. Right. Time served.

We're moving on. Time served. Here's your nut. Lobster justice.

Do you put the lobster back? I mean, what do you do? You put it back in the tank. It's got nut on it.

It's in the water. They wash it a little bit. They scrub it with a little brush, and then they put them back in. They remove the leftover scrotum from it?

Right. Everybody turns around, so you don't know which one it is. Okay. Just plop it in?

Pop it in. Yeah, then they just kind of go, you know, they shut their eyes, they go, okay, which one was it? Nobody knows. It's the one with the rainbow flag because it likes the scrotum.

Could have been a female lobster. That's true. Good point. Might have been.

I mean, I'm sorry someone's going to rip that apart and be like, we don't eat the female lobsters, you idiot. Yeah, they do. I don't know. I'm just saying.

Not if they have eggs, but if they don't have eggs, they keep them. They don't have eggs? Yeah, they attach under the tail. Yeah.

I watch TV. You watch TV? The Asian or the African lobsters? American?

The video I saw was American, yeah, up in New England area, they were out, there's a guy that does TikTok videos that catches lobsters. " The guy or the lobster? The lobsters. I don't know, they don't talk much.

" I have babies! Look at my tail. Look at my tail, they're babies, put me back in the water. All right, Cigar News, the Kraft Marquette Foreign & Domestic heads to stores for a 2026 release.

Yay! The sophomore release of Foreign & Domestic is heading to stores, while the cigar and its release remain nearly identical to the 2025 release. Aha! The details surrounding it are a bit different.

The Kraft Marquette Foreign & Domestic is a 4x46 box-pressed Petite Corona. Mmm. When it debuted last year, Skip Martin, co-founder of Roma Craft Tobacco, declined to disclose most of the blend info. I'm not telling you what it is.

However, we now know that it uses an Equinoran hybrid wrapper. However, he got drunk one night and posted it on his Instagram. Exactly what it was. Yeah.

Just so you know, here's the blend. Just so you know, here's the blend. Just so you know, here we are. Over an Indonesian binder and Corojo & Criololo fillers from the Hamistrand Valley in Honduras, as well as tobacco from Gundega and Nicaragua, perhaps more importantly, Martin shared that the blend is nearly identical to two other cigars he's already made.

That makes sense. Yeah. The Riverside 15th anniversary, a store exclusive for an Indiana retailer, for an Indiana retailer, and the upcoming Cro-Magnum Visigoth. They just said for an Indiana retailer?

Yes. They don't even give them props? They didn't even give them props. Wow.

Half-wheel didn't skip mine half-wheel. Yeah, but why didn't, you know what I mean? Half-wheel? Yeah.

Because we didn't give them advance notice when stuff was coming out. You got to pay to play? Everyone associated. You got to pay to play.

If you're a retailer, you got to pay to play. That's right. The sophomore release of foreign and domestic would have served as a warm-up act for the sorts of the launch of Visigoth, but the latter release has been delayed from the 2026 until next year. His name is Jeff Mute, and it's Riverside Cigars.

Do you pay enough? You gotta pay to play, you just said that over and over. On Half Wheel. Oh.

He has said that cigars do not use the same wrapper, nothing that the Visigoth uses a heavier release. The price is $10 per cigar, remains the same beyond coming from a different production run. The only other difference is that the production run has been increased from 5,000 bundles to 1,200 bundles. What?

How is it increased? 500. You said 5,000 bundles. Oh, sorry, 500 bundles.

Oh, the 1,200 bundles. The 1,200 bundles. Okay. Yes, sorry.

He's old, guys. We're doing the best we've got. If you're a retailer, and you place an order, and you thought that you were just getting like five boxes, get ready for 50. I add a zero to everything.

Yeah. That's just the way it works. So, Corey, you're getting 50, by the way. 700 boxes.

STG discontinues Hoya De Monterey Epicure Selection. We're going to miss it. We're going to miss it. It's okay.

You can still get it. Oh, okay. Perfect. Scandinavian Tobacco Group has sent retailers new price list, which typically means that prices are going up, at least within the most recent.

That is not what is happening. It's not what's happening. That's not what's happening. Instead, STG has made only a few minor price adjustments.

A couple of items changed by just a penny. However, 11 items have been removed from the price list. There was a list of all 11, but it seemed pointless, I didn't want to read it. And when we say they're gone, we mean that they're not really gone, they're just coming back at a higher price point?

Is that what you're telling me? No, no. Hold on, please. These are gone.

Most notably, the Hoya de Monterey Epicure Selection, the line which shares a very similar name with the Cuban Hoya de Monterey. You can still get them at the big box retailer that they do business with. Oh, okay. Well, they are the big box retailer.

They're one of them. They're one of them, right, but it's theirs. Hold on, let's get to where you can find them, but still. They're made at a factory in Miami.

The factory El Titan de Bronze produces cigars like Cohiba, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. While those cigars have been removed from General Cigar Company's price list, they may still be offered for sale either to large catalog retailers or through SCG's own retail channel like Cigars International. There you go. There you go.

So they're just keeping them for themselves now. s distributor oh yeah the liga trident the liga trident is it habano like the nicarusica i don't know let's read on okay the cigar brand launched by entertainer They're Marlon Wayans and partner Vic Curley. Oh, that's a totally different Liga. Oh man, no one's talking to this guy?

No one is guiding this guy. Well, maybe David Gaston or Vic Curley. I don't know who those two guys are. Are they celebrities or just people?

I have no idea. Oh, they've announced it has entered into a distribution agreement with Santa Clara. S. footprint.

We build Liga Trident to be a premium experience, not just a cigar, said Marlon Wayans, He's co-owner of Liga Trident Cigars, LLC, in a press release. Partnering with Santa Clara lets us bring the experience to every major city, and I get to meet the fans face-to-face, cut and light with them, and share something real. As part of the agreement, a select group of premium cigar lodges will host exclusive cut-and-light events and meet-and-greet experiences featuring Wayans, Curly, and Gaston. Uh huh, the guy from Beauty and the Beast.

Yeah, apparently. Yeah, but he died in that movie, so I don't know. He didn't Gaston? Didn't he?

In the cartoon? Oh no, that's Tarzan where the guy gets hung. Yeah, come on. Oh, but they said he was, never mind.

Okay. Allowing consumers to meet and connect with the team over cigars and spirits. Isn't he the guy that was charging an outrageous amount of money to show up? Uh, yeah.

We have it all along from the audience. Allegedly, yeah. Right. And so, I mean, look, you know, he's new in the cigar industry, he's trying to find his footing, but in my opinion, this is not a good idea.

This is not good. This is not a good idea. Maybe we should reach out to him. No, I'm good.

It might be too late, he's already signed the papers. Yeah. Is he prize protected? You know what I mean?

He doesn't even know what that word means. Right. If it doesn't move, what can they do? Because they're notorious for doing despicable things to brands.

They're going to drag him around to dog and pony shows all over the country. Yeah. I hope it works out. Good luck.

I hope it works out, but... I don't know. Sounds like it took the check. They're excited for the opportunity to...

It's rule number one. to grow Liga Trident and expand their brands across the market. Never take the money. Said Bran Winstead, chief commercial officer of Tapical Area USA, in a statement to Half Wheel.

A press release from Liga Trident called the agreement a decisive, strategic move to meet surging consumers' demands, And will bring the Liga Trident brands to premium cigars retailers in major cities across the United States. Sounds very AI. JR still, hold on, let me see. They still have our stuff listed.

I'm willing to bet they do. I'm going to confirm before I put my foot in my mouth. All right, I'll read on. Santa Clara Inc.

is part of the Tablacalera USA, which also owns JR Cigar, Cassidy, Montecristo, two of the largest retail operations in the United States. Oh, God. They have pop-ups. Geez Louise.

A lot of stuff to read. I'm working on it. Hold on. I don't want to unlock anything.

Unlock a special. Give me your email address. I always use Greg's when they ask those questions. It's still on the site.

Yay! But they don't have any. And it's still, like, ridiculously on sale. And yeah, none of it's...

In stock. There's one thing that is in stock. Oh. No, two things.

That's the same thing. Oh. Same thing thing? Same thing thing.

Same thing, I think. No, that's sold out too. Never mind. Oh, never mind.

It's just the variant sizes there. But no, they're all sold out. But like, it's all deep discounted. They didn't even do the courtesy of removing it.

We no longer do business with them. No, we don't. We won't. And nor will we.

No. Never again. That was before me. Marlon, I wish you the best.

Good luck. And if you need any help or suggestions or any type of guidance. If you need a website or something, he's good at that. I don't need a job, I'm not looking for money, I'm just willing to say.

People don't pay you to help with the website. Yeah, that's true. So it's not really a job. I'm just simply saying.

It's just more work. Like everything we do. Maybe we should seek counsel every once in a while. Well, I mean, he's got two partners.

Yeah. A cartoon and we don't know who the other guy is. A cartoon and we don't know who the other guy is. Oh my God, guys.

This is the problem. - This is part of the problem. - Part of the problem with the industry. - Yep.

- Yep. At the PCA, come by and see us, Marlon. - He probably won't. - Probably not.

- Somebody wants to forward this to him. - What do we know? - Maybe the cartoon guy will forward this to him. - Maybe the cartoon guy?

- Maybe. - Probably not. - He's probably a big fan. - Okay, so we just signed a deal with...

All right, man. Good luck. We're counting on you. - All right, it's time for the industry's favorite game.

What's the Score? Oh, that was a good one. It's time for What's the Score? We take a cigar review from Half Wheel, give you the cigar, the blend, two negative clues, and one positive clue today.

Ooh. Followed by a final thought, your job is to guess the score. It's time for What's the Score? Evil Edition.

Today's cigar is the Blackworks Studio Culture Vulture, Pantella. Oh, that's right. Reviewed by Charlie Minato on November 7th, 2026. Okay.

November 11th? November 7th, 2026. Okay, because I was going to say, it's not even November 11th. It's from the future.

I get advanced copies. That's amazing. Yes. What do you got?

What are we doing today, Evil Sig? Well, we are doing the tarot cards like I promised. Nice. And the first card is...

Bringing in the devil. he's so cultural you know so that one here which is at the front of the back is that is it is it bad is it bad it's got a number it's got the two goats on it and some water and it says uh first score two of clubs it says uh i don't know so the one thing these contacts do mess up yeah is your short range vision i cannot read the damn card all right take one of them out no no don't do that I think this is the moon. Oh, it's the moon. Okay.

So it's a good sign. I think I'm going to go with 92. Moon is usually a good thing. So we're just winging it though.

So the moon doesn't have a number for you. The moon does have a number. I cannot read the number on there. Let me see the card.

The moon is a card of like hidden change and hidden power, so let's see. Ooh, of hidden power. Yeah, so maybe it started bad and it gets better through the smoke. We'll see.

Are we talking about the Roman numerals on here? Yeah. What's that one? What's that one?

It says 18. Yep, that sounds about right. Alright, score is 18. So we're going with 18?

No, no, tarot cards don't work like that. No. So I'm saying, but that's a good card, so I'm thinking I'm going to go with 92. Okay.

Alright. Your Majesty. I'm going 84. Do you have any weird dice or chicken bones?

Just my brain. It's weird enough. A ghost mentor that tells you what to do. Oh, your phone went off.

Is it your wife? What did your wife say to score? She said 87. 87, but I'm going 84.

Wait, wait, wait. We have guests. Oh, okay. Do you guys know this?

Did you guys read this? All right. You want to guess? Corey says 82.

Corey says 82. 79. David Hasselhoffman says it below post-line in Sumatra at 79. All right.

It's a 6 by 42 made at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Nicaragua. The blend uses Ecuadorian Maduro, Connecticut, and Candela wrapper. Tobacco is over in Ecuadorian Habano Binder, and Nicaraguan Filler. Okay, we're gonna go like this.

All right, go ahead. Terra card of death say? The King, okay. Is there a picture of me on there?

Actually, it's the Emperor, my mistake. Not the same, not the same. Totally different guy. The Emperor, again, this is another good card.

Another positive. I'm sticking with my 92. Sticking 92? Yep.

All right, Hoffman? 79, 82, I'm holding fast at 84. All right, clue number one, all three samples ran into burn trouble within the first 15 minutes. Oh, here we go.

One puff would produce plenty of smoke and then the next would give him almost nothing. Even after he knew to watch for it and started pulling more frequently, the cigars still repeatedly went out or came close to. It came close to. Now, to be fair, when we reviewed this cigar on the Patreon, we had none of those issues.

No, and we didn't have the Pantella, did we? What size did we do? I don't know. I thought it was small.

Okay, maybe we did. I don't know. I don't know what we got. Oh, because it was set in by Fran Stiletto.

Yeah. Could have been then. It might have been the Corona Gorda or something. Okay.

Evil Sig? Let's see what the- Swinger adjacent Sig? So, we have the Ten of Wands next. Oh, that's a lot of wands.

So this actually makes sense, the moon would say that the first part of the cigar is gonna stink, but the rest of it is saying like maybe it gets better, I'm gonna drop it down to, the cards are guiding me to say like a 90 now. This is so cool. The cards are a 90. Yeah, cards are telling me to do it as a 90.

Okay. Hasselhoffman? 78. 78.

78, Corey? I'll stick with 82. 82. 83.

Glute number two. The flavors didn't develop much after the opening around the halfway point the first two samples started to lose their balance while the third had a bitter salty edge by the finish sharper wood and dry mineral notes were coming through. Tarot cards say you better pull like a murderous thing out of there or something I don't know something the dead man or something like oh this oh I got the bloodbath card well if it's wrong it's it's it's it's not the cards it's me interpreting got it. " We have the one.

Oh, that can't be good. No, it's like a beginning, like... Is that like the neutral? No, no, this is more like amateur.

Yeah? Oh. I think I'm gonna start downgrading it more to a, let's go 86. 86?

Yeah. Okay, he's got like a calculator there, but he hasn't, he almost touched it there. I almost touched it there. Well, no, I have it because I keep forgetting what my score last time was, so I'm just writing notes so I remember, I got a horrible short-term memory.

Okay. David, have a 78. 78. 78.

And Corey? 79. 79. I'm going to go to the ever-elucid, ever-so-popular, 81.

Third clue. When the cigar was burning, there was plenty to enjoy. The candela brought a distinctive sweetness to the deep, earthy profile, while some creaminess and a note of sweet rice. Monado was surprised that the flavors held up as well as they did, though through all the relights.

Well, this is hilarious. It's the Wheel of Fortune, which is about being wishy-washy and all over the place, which I think is more about the review than the actual cigar. That's true. That's true.

I'm going to keep going down. I'm at 84 now. 84. 84.

Hasselhoffman? 78. Corey? 81.

81. Oh, he slides up to 81. He slides up. Well, I'm going to bump myself up to 82.

Oh. I'm in a pigeonhole here. All right, final thought. Even the best of the three samples had about six separate burn problems.

Sometimes Monado caught it in time to keep the cigar going. You know, Monado makes that boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Other times, we had to reach for the lighter. Uh-oh.

The blend still delivered enjoyable flavors, but those interruptions kept taking him out of the experience. He couldn't pin down what caused the problems, and it was ultimately what drove the score. Do you think, like, he's like a missionary guy with, like, no distractions? Like, he can't have any sounds going on in the room?

Right, it's completely quiet, in a sealed room, he wants the smoke to circulate in the room, so he gets the full effect of the tobacco. No, I was talking about something else, though. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like, you know, like somebody rings a doorbell, "Damn it! " He did mention it had flavors of rice, it seems a little...

Racist? Yeah. He did to himself. Yeah.

Right. Okay. It would be funny if everything tastes like rice. This one tastes like rice, it's so weird.

It's so... Okay. All right, people... I was gonna say something really bad, and I'm glad that I held back.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so... Leave that up to me. So, the last card is the King of Swords.

Oh! The Iron Throne. Swords is like an aggressive suit. It's about fire.

A real asshole of a dude. Yeah. All that tracks. Not helping me with the score, but I'm going to stick with 84.

But it is descriptive for the person sitting anywhere. Wow. 84. David Hasselhoffman.

78. 81. I don't like being in the middle of all this, 77. Final score is?

81. Who got it? He stole it from me. Who's got his hands up in the air?

Corey Davis. Corey Davis. I knew it. I didn't know that that was the final score.

I thought we had one more. No, I said the final thought was the thing I read before. Let me just turn this off. Well, there's one more.

It's Tuesday. Oh, let me turn this back on. Two for Tuesday. Today's second cigar is the Oscar Valladares Collaboration, Oliva, reviewed by Patrick LaGreed on November 8th, 2026.

This one better get a good rating, or you know what happens when you speak of Oscar Valladares. Trust me, I'm quite aware, I could disappear, you could be put in that hole he digs for the water. All right, new tarot cards. Do you have to shuffle?

By the way, that failed miserably for you. Now it got me closer than I've been in the past. Better than the dice. He will find the right mystical item that helps him out perfectly.

Chicken bones, chicken bones, chicken bones. We have to have him every Monday for the chicken bones. The chicken bones? Yeah.

Which is fine because his massage is on Tuesday. So that works out well. I've got back issues from wearing the belt all. The police belt?

Oh, with the stuff on it. But oh, we got a, let's see, the Page of Staves, I'm going to go with 85 on this one to start with. Do we know what that card means? How do you interpret that card?

So, for the, there's the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. Okay. Deep Dive. Got it.

The Minor Arcana is Staves, Wands, Cups, and Coins or Discs, and each one of those has a meaning, and one through ten, and the king, they all have, It's like different kind of inclinations. Okay, stay on mic, make sure you stay on mic. One is like the start of things, since this is the wands, that's... God.

Is this major arcana or minor arcana? This is a minor arcana. It's a minor arcana. The major arcana cards are like the Emperor, the Wheel of Fortune.

Gotcha. The Wheel of Fortune. But this one, page of staves, it's a number one card. It's in the staves, which was growth-related.

Yeah, like I said, I'm going to go with, it's not a crazy good card, I'm going to go with 85. 85? Starting off with 85. Okay.

Hasselhoffman? 87. 87, he says. 89.

89 from Corey. It's up to you now. This is hard with four people. 86.

Play to win, don't play to beat. That's both. Yes, I know, but one way you're trying to manipulate the scores based on what everybody else says, He's always guessing the score for what's correct. Well, it's not like I'm going to stick on 81 when he picked 81.

Correct. Yeah. But if you thought it was 81, you could say 82 and hope he jumps off 81. I still would have lost.

It was the final score. Oh, you mean for the last one? Yeah. Yeah, because he got it right on the nose.

Yeah. That happened. You can't avoid that. He stole it from me.

It's fine. He took my pots and pans. What was your score? I don't know.

All right. It's a 6x52 Toro made at Oliva's Tablulisa? Tablulisa. Tablulisa factory in Nicaragua.

And Nicaragua uses a Cameroon tobacco for both the wrapper and the binder with fillers from Honduras and Nicaragua. Okay. There's a lot of Cameroon available. Well, other people grow it and claim that it's Cameroon, even though it's not grown in Cameroon, or maybe it is Cameroon that's grown in Cameroon, but it's not Mirafel Cameroon.

Thanks for narrowing that down for us. You're welcome. I'm willing to bet that it's not Cameroon from Cameroon. Yeah, probably.

Yeah. All right, Eagle Siggy. Eagle Siggy, Minor, Arcana, The Minor Arcana Four of Cups. Uh-oh, two Minor Arcana's.

A lot of cups. I'm sticking with 85. I think that doesn't change anything one way or the other. Just, you know, four dudes, cups.

One cup. You know what I mean? Four dudes, one cup. Yeah.

Five dudes, one cup. Five dudes, one cup. Oh, no. Hasselhoffman?

A whole different video. 89. Corey? 88.

87. Clue number one. The Cameroon flavors faded in the final third, Final Third, leaving Earth and Pepper to carry the finish. A chalky, rough edge showed up from the time, and LeGreed wanted some of that sweetness back to balance the extra heat.

Major Arcana? Arcana adjacent? This is the Hanged Man. Uh-oh.

Oh, boy. Yeah. That can't be good. I think I'm good with 85 right now.

85? The hanging man does not change the score. It's neutral. I think it affirms the score a little bit more.

It tightens it up. The guard kind of let him hang. Let the score hang. Perfect sense.

85. Hasselhoffman? 89. Corey?

87. Your Majesty? He just keeps moving to my numbers. 86.

Clue number two. The three samples didn't hit the same highs. The second cigar brought the sweet and spicy Cameroon notes right up front and the other two, those flavors had to share the spotlight with earth, nuts, and black pepper. La Greed said the cigar would have earned more points if all three had matched that second sample.

I like the second one better, but it's not the same as the other two, so it's not the same score. I hope you pull some kind of animal or something. The tiger. You're gonna be horribly disappointed.

It's the moon again. I think it means more like hidden potential in this sense, like these cigars didn't live up to everything, so I'm sticking with my 85. Did you go to like a tarot card course or something? No, I got really into it in high school and young me could do this really good.

I'm just, I still got my collection of this weird stuff. A little rusty, very interpretive. It is very interpretive. He's a rusty tarot card reader.

In the show, he's going to read them for you. Perfect. No, let's not. Yeah, let's see how bad it is.

Oh, okay, redraw, redraw, redraw. The card of death, the card of death. And there's only one in the deck, this is so weird. It's, what is this very poor thing?

So where does this affirm you now to? Very poor with a microphone. Major, minor, arcana? That's a major arcana.

But yeah, the score's staying the same. Which was? 85. Pay attention, please.

David Hasselhoffman? 81. 81. Corey?

87. 87. 87. 88.

88. 88. Construction was a strong point across all three cigars. The draw was smooth, the burn line stayed even through the first two-thirds, and there was plenty of smoke.

That let La Greed focus on how the flavors changed as the cigar moved into the middle. Okay, the problem here is I didn't shuffle this deck because we're back at the Emperor again. Oh! I'm a very bad tarot card reader, so I'm going to stay with him.

Well, I saw you shuffle. Eh. Didn't shuffle well. You should have cut it.

Or maybe it meant to be these. Maybe it was. Maybe it's right. Don't argue with the tarot cards.

Yeah, don't argue with the cards. Bad things will happen. Yeah. Emperor.

Emperor. Again, I'm sticking with 85. 85. I mean, and now they're coming out in different order.

That's true. Yeah, it could mean something different. And again, there might be like a serious tarot card reader watching and, like I said, going to pop in the comments and tell me how bad I am. i am yeah chris weiss might be a you know who knows he could be a tarot card guy yeah exactly yeah all right hasselhoffman 86 or 88 of course see when i call him he's bumping his take bumping you yeah 88 you're on 88 too yeah all right final thought this is the last thing okay thank you the second sample Michael gave La Gris one of those rare stretches where the whole blend came together.

The sweetness and spice from the Cameroon worked with the Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers exactly the way he'd hoped. That stretch was brief, but it made enough of an impression that he gladly light up another just to see if he could find it again. So that, you know, Oscar wouldn't have to find him. Right.

I'm sticking with my 85. 85. What'd you get? Another sign that I really didn't shuffle this deck.

A lot of Juans. Oh, I got the Juans. The 10 of Juans again. Many Juans.

The Juans. The Juans. Multiple Juans. This is so ridiculous.

So many Juans. Mr. Hasselhoffman. 89.

89. Mr. Corey? 90.

88. 88. All right, final score is? 990.

Do you think he looked? I have no idea. Yeah, that's it. That's right.

Uh, Corey has to leave. Mr. Hasselhoffman, you're welcome to stay. No, I think Hasselhoffman got that one, right?

No, no, Corey did. His arms went up again. Corey's cheating. Corey's cheating.

He's like Greg. Yeah, it's like Greg. Do you have Greg in your ear? Yeah, Triple G.

He's looking up on his phone as we sit here and do the podcast. Acting Natural. Congratulations, Corey. Your prices just went up on wholesale.

You ordered more SBCs today. Oh, good. Fantastic. All right.

You have anything else to add? Nah, I'm good. You're all right? Oh, you don't want to read the cards for you?

I don't want to read the cards. All right. I don't want to know. You don't want to know?

No. I don't need your devil cards. All right. No, I have nothing else then.

All right, well, Corey and Mr. Hasselhoffman, thank you very much for partaking today right here. Over there where all the smoke is. You can see it in the lights.
