Offset, Stern, Guthrie Update and Luciano Is At It Again

Transcript

Welcome to a Cigar Hustler

podcast, episode 5 O 4.

I'm Mike Palmer, your host, and

on today's show we have Phil.

I have labor law Info Mcguffey.

Hello.

And my Co host as always Mikey

is pressing Tuesday so I'm so

excited.

Step on Kevitch.

Hi and we have Palmer.

I don't like to edit the videos

because I'm super busy.

Got a lot going on so.

The other day you begged me to

leave the opening on the

gibberish at the beginning.

So.

Like on his knees or not on his.

Knees.

No, no, he went on his knees.

So that's why you did it.

Well, that's why I didn't think

to take it off.

OK, so the whole purpose of you

doing it now though, why are you

doing the beginning stuff

recording?

Well, to put it on Saturdays, we

can't do both.

So no, you can't do both, and

you know that.

All right, well how much of the

opening do you want saved?

Because you specifically

mentioned the blurry part made

us look unprofessional.

So do you want that taken off

for the Saturday thing too?

Yeah, there you should just be.

Clip some funny stuff.

You shouldn't leave just a

running thing.

Oh, I when I agreed to do a

Saturday, I was just going to

take the front half of the

shows, put them all together as

the week goes and run it on

Saturday.

OK, that's fine.

You agreed to and no one asks

you to do it.

I understand that so.

What did you agree to do so we

could?

Do it six days a week.

So who did you agree to with it?

Well, that OK, That was my plan

on Saturday, just to cut the

front half off, not to edit it

and look for different stuff.

OK, so then I mean it's simple

to just cut it in every day, add

a new piece.

OK.

So then clip it and call it the

front half, all right, agreed to

terms, call it, agreed to terms,

front half.

Agreed to terms.

Front half, I don't know.

I don't know who you who agreed

with.

I forget what I called it, but I

couldn't do Saturday morning

cartoons.

You didn't like it and so I

don't remember what.

It was you did something else.

I called it something else,

something bloopers, because you

wanted bloopers in it, in the

name.

Was it bloopers?

I think there were bloopers in

the name.

I think that's what you put in

the name.

Behind the scenes, I think it's

behind the scenes.

OK.

Right in today's show, rapper

Offset apparently isn't

bulletproof.

We have a Nancy Guthrie update.

Howard Stern may be the king of

all medium, but he's not the

king of all employees.

Uh oh.

And then in cigars, our board

Luciano is back in the news.

Craft has shipped and PDR brings

it back.

Sounds like a good show today.

Then we have a sandwich worthy

What's the score?

Knuckle sandwich.

But before we get started Mikey,

what are the trending comments?

How do we get chapter 5 swag?

And well, this is not working

now, but what was Preston

wearing today?

Because he has rescheduled.

What you want to do is like and

subscribe where you're viewing

or listening to the show.

If you value the entertainment

that we're providing, check out

chapter pod.com for all of our

latest swag.

The newest drop is the master

Blender shirt.

It is a great shirt.

It's the funniest shirt.

It's the funniest shirt we've

ever made at absolutely epic.

Some YouTube comments from

today.

Let's see what we got published

newest.

OK, OK.

Stop looking at me at Mark,

Palmer says.

I would have made that woman

president of the company.

Like you said, if she's a top

producer, who cares where she's

working from?

I agree.

That makes total sense to me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thanks for picking that up,

Phil, because Palmer's now

checked out and he's done.

I'm sorry Steve sent us.

Somebody needs approval.

Very busy, very busy.

I haven't been a wholesale order

for me.

I was hoping it was that. 215

Ink says I can't wait until

Wednesday's show when they yell

at each other about the wrong

edit that was published.

Personally, I blame Boots.

Of course.

Well, I like the way that turned

out.

Yeah, it's all boots fall.

Phil.

Phil.

Phil.

Phil.

Please make it Phil Boots is not

part of the show.

CW6383 says mic check was

perfect, probably also

referencing the opening scene.

Yes, I'm sure it was.

Thank you for letting us know.

Do a mic check today so we can.

Tell us tomorrow.

And then this was a long one

from TX Alpha.

So I asked Chad GBT for the name

of a man who has self

preservation issues, is a DJ

construction company owner, and

makes questionable comments.

Here are their suggestions.

And there's a whole bunch here,

but there is the the one that I

like the best is safety first,

Steve.

No one else's safety is

included.

So yeah.

Safety first day when no one

else was.

If you want to hear your

comments on the show, just

comment below and we may read it

off.

So there's that.

I'm not saying if it's funny or

not or if it's just a comment or

anything, because you know,

Palmer is he's.

Just.

A comic.

Palmer is very angry.

Palmer's anger Anger is rubbing

off on me today.

Yeah, I'm not angry today.

So I called him and I said, hey,

you know what's up with the

edits?

And he goes, I'm just, I'm so

busy.

Well.

No, I said.

It's already been taken care of.

Oh, you said I can't.

I can't do all of it or

something like that.

Well, I'm sure I said that

after, but I started with.

It's been taken care of.

I learned how to use the in in

program editor on YouTube today

so you can edit it without

taking the whole.

Really.

Yes.

So you trimmed it?

Yes.

Oh, look at you.

He's happy again.

Yeah, he's happy.

Again, I'm not happy today.

I'm a little tired.

The practice yesterday was in

the rain, in the cold.

And tonight?

And like, I don't know, I mean,

I don't know, we may cancel

practice today, but like this

week, next three days, this is

the week before PCA.

There's a ton of things going

on, so.

No, no pressing today or is he

coming later?

Well, you know, Preston's a

little out of sorts, too,

because the season's about to

begin, so he's running behind.

So we're doing the best what we

got today.

Got it.

All right that.

Thing smells burning.

It's OK, hopefully they have

insurance here.

No comments on the oh, I've left

my sunglasses upstairs.

No comments on the on the

sparklers.

Did you?

No.

Did you figure out how to use

the glasses?

No.

I was just going to try again

today but apparently I'm not.

Wait, you were just going to

what were you going to do today

that you didn't do yesterday as

far as I mean you tried

yesterday?

Well, what's the score?

Right.

Did you learn something new or

just going to put them on and go

meta Facebook Live again?

I was going to, I was going to

say meta go live, and then I

wasn't going to speak.

If it says, hey, I need you to

reset the app, I would have

reset the app, yeah.

Does that bother you?

No, I thought you would have

worked it out before we got

here.

When you know, I'm just so busy,

Michael.

All right, we're all busy,

Michael.

Well, yeah, the difference is

here's the difference.

What's the difference?

The difference between your

added mistake and me screwing up

the Facebook live is the

Facebook Live falls on me and I

have no problem looking like an

idiot, but I didn't make.

I have a problem, look like an

idiot.

Well, no.

Again.

You don't let me finish.

You don't let me finish.

The difference is that your

mistake makes all three of us

look like an.

Idiot always do that.

Everybody knows it was my fault.

The guy even said it in the

comment that it well he blamed

him but everybody knows I do

the.

Edit yes.

However, you don't know what's

said at that point or anything

like that.

And this is kind of up, right?

So I mean, lucky for us that

it's pretty, it's pretty common.

We talk about the same things

kind of when we're miked up and

when we're not miked up.

You know, however, you are

destined to become the two guys

influencer that that was part of

the the opening you're not

going.

To let us do that.

Yeah, No, I mean, you, you could

go go ahead and do it, but it's

not part of this podcast.

I.

Wanted it to be part of the

show, not me personally.

Well, we, we intentionally don't

do anything in that realm for a

reason.

You could.

We can't.

We can't we because YouTube says

otherwise.

Oh well, I mean, we could do it

not be on the show.

We could do it on Instagram.

Is the show.

You can do it.

Go do it.

You have my blessing.

I.

Don't want to.

I don't want to do it by myself.

It's no fun.

It may be more fun with the

three of us.

OK.

Yeah, we're A-Team, We're

A-Team.

We should get paid as a team.

So it's super expensive.

We.

Should get paid as a team.

And there's three of us.

An influencer might just mean we

give you free cigars.

I mean, that's not going.

To you never know not.

Going to help us any here.

What I mean, Bomber, stop not

taking the things.

What's wrong?

What's wrong with What's wrong

with free cigars?

Nothing wrong with free cigars,

but that doesn't pay any bills.

It's true.

Yeah, it does.

What are you talking about?

We spend money all the time with

stuff.

David Garoppolo is indirectly

affecting sales upstairs by

infiltrating the podcast.

Look at that.

OK all.

And we have to jump to the

bigger oz 8 1/2's not cutting it

anymore, feeling the resistance.

A new brand you build up an

immunity after a while you.

Know what it is you got to give

caffeine a break is the problem.

I don't know how to do that.

Yeah, I wouldn't know how to do

that either.

So.

I do stop coffee sometime but I

just supplement with something.

Else.

Something else.

Caffeine.

Yeah, cocaine.

I wish we had some.

That's illegal.

Some days we don't do those

things.

That's not nice.

I can still wish, just just not

doing it, yeah.

You left that life.

What was the other guy?

The what was the espionage guy?

I was talking about Bahia cigar

or something like that.

Bahica, OH.

The yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cocaine.

I don't know cocaine.

Right.

All right, go ahead.

Let's get going.

All right, Rapper Offset.

Anybody know who Offset is?

I'm not familiar with this

gentleman.

Cardi B's baby daddy, Yeah.

One of Cardi B's baby daddies.

Yeah, he got hospitalized after

being shot down at the by the

casino in Miami.

Hard Rock.

Hard Rock.

Hard Rock, yes.

The guitar.

The guitar.

So Fort Lauderdale, yes, but

they say Miami because it's

probably better for media.

I would imagine, yeah.

So he he was shot last night in

front of a casino, according to

representatives who said he is

stable condition.

He's fine.

OK.

His real name?

Do you know his real name?

Jonathan.

Onsen I understand why he why he

changed it to offset.

Oh, OK, let's guess.

Go ahead.

There's three.

Wait.

Wait, there's 33 names?

OK.

Doctavius.

Jones, Xavier.

This really can't be.

His he can't even, he can't be a

real name.

What, you can't even get out the

whole Octavius?

This is Spartan Michael, you'd

like to guess.

No, I don't.

Oh, so I win because he gives

up?

Yeah, yeah, you win.

Hit the sparklers.

Sparklers are only hit when I

win.

Kiari, Kendrell, Cephas.

All right, Cephas, I'm.

I'm sure you're mispronouncing

most of that.

Maybe the first name Kendrell is

pretty easy.

Cephas.

CEPHUS.

It's Cephas.

Oh stoppers, that you're a super

mumbled.

Mumbled or poppy?

No, it's it's like it's going.

Where's your phone?

Is there anything close to the?

My phone's on on the other

table.

Maybe it's your watch.

Oh, get out.

Here, take your watch.

Is it still doing it?

Yeah, it's only you.

Test, test, test.

It's still doing it.

Did you set my?

I'm telling it this watch.

This watch is sitting right by

the video S.

You're doing perfectly fine.

Yeah, how about now?

Yeah, now it's good.

Now it's good.

See.

Look, man, your watch is away

from it.

It's back there, bubbling again.

Drink your Red Bull.

Just be happy.

I haven't used 1/3 head yet.

What no homo?

What do you think?

I don't know who's talking.

About oh, sorry.

I'm going to cut.

That to 310.

Minutes.

You the where the where all

three of our heads are up on the

screen.

Oh.

OK.

All right, he's formerly, he was

married to Cardi B, not just the

baby daddy, but he was married.

Oh, but he had three children.

With her, yes.

Wow.

Damn.

He's a member of the chart

topping Raptrios Migos.

I, I should have let you say it,

he would have said Migos.

No, I said Migos.

But you know, you interrupted,

but that's OK, I apologize.

Sorry, he knows the word Migos.

Yeah, I know Migos there.

If there was an A in front, it

would be a Migos.

Name one song from Migos.

Oh, I don't.

Know the group, I know the word.

OK, Tequila.

I don't know who this guy is,

let alone the name of his group,

but they disbanded the group

because one of them got shot

back in 2022.

Right.

So he's shot again.

Is it the same one?

No, no, that one was killed I

believe.

He died.

Fatal shooting, Yes.

Oh.

Boy.

Oh, of Take Off.

The guy's name is Take Off.

Take off an offset.

Well offset guy shot take off is

dead.

Right.

Now there's this one guy left.

Well, are you?

Looking at him as maybe the.

Perpetrator Offset's still

alive.

Fatal shooting of rapper Take

Off.

Yeah, Offset is still alive.

He got shot last night, right?

Take Off got shot in 2022.

OK, he's dead.

OK, now there's one guy left.

Well, but offset's still alive.

One guy left that has not been

shot.

You don't know that.

Maybe he was shot.

Point.

Maybe he has been.

And then what's his name offset

or safe off or?

02 people have been detained and

another person sustained

injuries that were not life

threatening, police said.

They did not identify the name

of the person who was detained.

So what happened?

No idea.

No, they're not saying.

They're just saying there was a

shooting.

Some random.

He walked out.

I don't know if there's two

shots.

Who knows?

Well, if you know exactly that

it was two shots, the police may

have some questions for you.

Quavo is the guy that has not

been.

Quavo is bullet free as.

Far as we know at this.

Point Everybody likes Quavo, I

guess.

Why is he in the group Quavo?

He doesn't have the name off in

anything.

Offset take off Quavo.

Yeah, it really doesn't.

Fit yeah, it doesn't yeah.

What was he that's.

Probably why he hasn't been

shot.

Maybe they don't know he's a

real member.

Oh, their 2013 hit was Versace.

Versace, Versace Versace Versace

Versace Versace.

Well, they got a Grammy look at.

That yeah, yeah, they actually

have some good songs they'll.

Never heard of him before.

Yeah, I know because their name

isn't.

It's just not my kind of music.

And Garth Brooks.

I know who?

Garth Brooks, Yeah.

Waylon Jennings.

I know who.

Waylon Jennings.

I think he's dead.

Probably.

Yeah, Will Rogers.

They were having a private party

in 2022 at a bowling alley when

Takeoff was shot.

Who has a private party at a

bowling alley when you're a top

producing rap artists?

Seems a little odd, doesn't it?

Amigos do.

Yeah, and Houston know that.

There's nowhere else to go.

Maybe it's a dope bowling alley.

Yeah, maybe it's a rap friendly

bowling alley, apparently.

It's really popping, yeah.

But well, it was back in 2022

shooting good time.

Shooting good time, right?

OK, sorry my throat's a little

jacked today.

Yeah, I see that.

It's all right.

I'm trying.

I'm trying.

Right, we got a Nancy Guthrie

update.

OK.

Yesterday was the first day that

her daughter was returned to

television.

Oh yeah.

She wore a yellow dress like

they do the yellow ribbons for

her mother.

Oh, and symbolism.

For her missing mother.

OK, so there's been a couple of

new notes that have been leaked.

First note said we didn't do it,

but we know who did.

Give us one Bitcoin.

What's a Bitcoin worth now?

Is that a big amount of money?

65,000 yeah, it's a little

discount right now.

It's about 65 K.

So let's say give us one

Bitcoin.

We'll tell you who who did it.

We have seen her in Sonora,

Mexico.

She's in Mexico.

Yes, I told you guys.

Give us half now, we'll tell you

exactly where you can find the

body.

They say she's dead.

OK.

And then you give us the other

half. 30 GS on the gamble I.

Don't know.

Yeah.

I mean, apparently it was a

while ago.

They got the first note.

They got the second note.

You guys are stupid.

We told you we know where she

is.

She's not alive anymore.

Now it's too late.

Oh, they said before the

previous they.

Didn't say she was dead before

the second note says she dead.

So the previous note said, hey,

we know where she is.

Right.

We have seen her in Sonora,

Mexico, which is right across

the border from where she used

to live.

Yeah.

I mean, you know, this is kind

of double.

This is kind of troubling.

Like if you knew where she was,

why don't you just give out the

information?

Because they they're going to

have to run after they tell and

they want to be able to start a

new life and get away from the

people who have it.

For $65,000.

Apparently it's all they need to

have a very simple life.

Well, I guess, well in Mexico

that might go a lot further.

Yeah, where they where they

going to run to the next city

over in Mexico?

Right the Tijuana.

They no find us here.

And their Intel was and their

Intel was disregarded.

Yes, the police and the feds

have disregarded it as not true.

But they just came back and

said, we're telling you we're.

Telling you we know right where

the body is now.

This.

How do you disregard that as an

agency?

Are there still repercussions

with this, with these people

that they give out the Intel

like, oh, you told those?

Yeah, I mean, if you say who the

kidnappers are, I imagine

they're bad people in Mexico.

I'm sure they're Cartel I.

Didn't want to say the word.

Oh is that?

Does that trigger?

You didn't want to say the word

no.

You have reason?

You think that they're cartel?

They might be fans of the show.

Oh well, if you guys could let

us know so that way we get some

Bitcoin.

All of a sudden, no more San

Andreas for us.

Right.

Yeah.

Shut it down.

Right.

They say they can deliver them

on a silver platter, that they

use that word.

It's in parentheses.

Wow.

We will tell you exactly what

Pedro's name is.

Who said that?

Oh damn.

Damn it.

OK, quarter of a Bitcoin?

Quarter of a Bitcoin.

Guess I'll give you the first

name.

I'll give you the second, the

last name, least her name.

OK, well.

You'll never guess it.

Yeah, I mean, listen, obviously

the Guthrie family wants the

body, right?

Well, they're imaginable like

closure of some.

Sort, yeah.

It would be the not knowing I

imagine would be the worst part.

Yeah, I agree.

Not knowing is definitely rough.

And then, you know, not to

mention though, I mean, what are

the what are the repercussions

going to be for the alleged for

the Snick kidnappers?

No, the kidnappers.

Yeah.

I mean, they're in Mexico.

What, are we going to go drag

them back?

I mean that I'm sure that, you

know, we just got some guy out

of Venezuela, we might pop right

over.

We might.

I don't know.

The Iranian thing is heating up.

Yeah, tomorrow's it.

Supposedly it's either come to

terms.

Yeah, they're running out of

time on the deadline.

Oh, we're going to level you.

Send you back to the Stone Age

where you belong.

That's yeah, something like

that.

Wasn't that's intense?

Yeah, especially on a rainy day.

And and supposedly I heard that

North Korea has backed off and

no no longer supporting Iran.

Well, yeah.

I mean, they're like.

They're getting a little getting

a little hot.

Over there.

Yeah.

Did you see all those F

fifteens?

It was funny, like, you know

what I remember when no, I did

not go ahead.

No, they showed on the news they

were put them all in the

aircraft carrier.

Gotcha.

I've seen footage of them flying

those F fifteens.

I mean, it's unbelievable.

How are they shooting them down?

It was maybe a.

Lucky shot.

If you ask Trump, they said that

it just got lucky.

Sometimes you get lucky and more

I.

Mean, I saw one where the planes

are going, you know, like this

and then this guy just pulls up

and goes this way, a maverick

with the plane pointing up and

the other guy's still going

straight.

I'm like, how are they?

How do they hit these?

That's wild.

I also saw SO.

I don't know if that's an F15, I

think that's a.

Different.

Well, it could be a different, I

don't.

Know.

Sorry I didn't.

That was from Top Gun Maverick.

No, no it wasn't.

It was natural.

Footage also, like, do you

remember when, when we pulled

Maduro out and then there were

jokes where where you saw like

Kim Jong Un on the phone, like,

hey Donald, are we cool, right?

Are we cool now, right?

That's kind of what's kind of

what's happening.

That's right.

Hey, yeah, you know, I don't

really feel the need.

I don't like them.

Yeah, you know what?

He bad man.

I told him to leave you alone.

Yeah, about that.

When I said I I got your back, I

was like, I don't know, maybe

not so much.

Did you see what they did?

They completely came in here

undetected, killed all your

guys, all 49 of them, and they

escaped 3 Times Now.

I don't want to die, I don't

want to on alive, OK?

For that rescue, we fed them

false information.

So they're all looking over

here, right?

But we just pop in over here and

pick the guy.

Is that what happened?

Yeah.

Really.

CIA leaked false information of

where he was.

So then Irans over here looking

by the refrigerator, and then

he's over here by the TV and

they can.

You.

Imagine.

That's brilliant.

Can you imagine all of them

sitting around the screen?

We got him.

We got him.

We know right where he is.

We look at, look at.

This way boost this way this.

Way Meantime the the guys over

here in a crevice with his gun,

he climbed 7000 feet up the side

of a mountain or something with

a busted leg or something like

that.

Oh.

This is definitely a Mark

Wahlberg movie.

This is definitely a mark.

Oh yeah, yeah.

Mark Wahlberg, right?

It'll be I want to play him.

I'm good at this.

Yeah, why did you see my other

one?

Can you I just like like think

about the the?

I could do a good limp.

Thinking about the military

intelligence and watch this.

Watch this.

They're moving towards the

bloop.

No, no, it's even better.

Hey, Sir, I think we should just

use this fake information and

put it over here for him.

That'll never work, All right.

That's stupid.

Watch this.

There's no way they're going to

fall.

OK, radio came out over there.

These.

Guys, they fell.

For IT beepers, they're all in

the same building and now they

all fell for the old whoopty Doo

trick.

The whoopty Doo.

Yeah, yeah, they got whoopty

dude.

I don't know if it's a true

story or not.

I saw that a drone flew over him

for 48 hours.

If anybody got it said 3 meters,

I don't know if that's if that's

true or not.

Any Iranian guy within 3 meters

of the guy, they just killed him

with the drone.

They shot a little rocket and

just.

Blew the guy up right?

Like, hey, there's a bunch of

dead bodies over here.

I'm willing to bet that we're

close.

No, no, no, no, the information

says.

Look.

At the map, it's over there.

He's by the Burger King.

They all like the new arch.

Oh I saw Ronald McDonald.

I'm selling Amazon, we should

get it, not Amazon on eBay.

I put it upstairs in front.

Of the shop, a statue.

Yeah, the statue is like they

used to have out in front of.

McDonald's It's expensive.

Yeah, it's got to be.

No, it's like 2 grand.

Yeah, I saw a Facebook

marketplace.

Oh, did you?

Maybe that's where I saw a

Facebook.

Marketplace, yeah.

So like 2 grand is short money,

Yeah, I mean.

No, I mean, it's not like it's

20,000.

Dollars, yeah, I mean like we

got sparklers now so.

If we got sparklers now, that

may or may not work.

Why?

Why don't we drop Ronald

McDonald in the post?

Not the show, the shop.

But what's it going to do?

It won't do with nothing.

You're going to have to put him

in a chair if he's going to do

for the show.

You're going to tell me that

you're going to go upstairs and

talk to Greg and you're going to

say, hey, Greg.

He's not.

Very emotional right now.

I want to because of JW.

Yeah, he's a soft touch.

Yeah, say you know what?

JW would really love this Ronald

McDonald in his chair.

We could put it in his chair.

Yeah, in honor of him, because

he'd always be McDonald's.

So JW was a probably one of the

first customers ever at this

store and he recently passed.

So that's kind of what we're

talking about.

Oh man, so no one told me did.

You see.

Oh.

Really.

No, Nobody told.

You.

You didn't know.

He read Greg rattle off his name

on the list of people to tell.

Apparently he didn't go through

the list yet.

Woman.

Serious.

Yeah, man, that's it.

Happened Sunday.

He died.

He passed on Easter Sunday.

Yeah, he was a good dude.

He was.

One of the best, very nice.

He, I mean he was a chromogeny

old bastard.

But we loved them.

We loved them.

God forbid you sit in his chair.

He'll kick you right out.

We should put one of those name

plaques on the back of that

chair.

In memory of Well, those chairs

are going to be going away soon.

Oh, you're talking about one of

those.

No, like that plaque on the back

of those.

But not but those chairs are

eventually going to be

renovated.

Put it on the new one.

OK, I mean.

We have a guy now that makes

metal things.

All right.

And then we'll put Ronald

McDonald next to him.

That would be nice.

Yeah.

OK.

Pete's chair now.

We've gone off the rails here 26

minutes in OH.

All right, well there's a quote

from the letter.

The letter said it's

unbelievable that millions have

been wasted and yet here I am

willing to deliver them on a

silver platter since the 11th of

February for one Bitcoin.

But I'm disregarded as a scam.

They are free and the case is

frozen, but the egos remain hot

when it comes to me.

Arrogance at its finest.

So the guy's pissed off that

they don't believe it?

That was on the 2nd letter.

I think that's great, but you

know.

Here I am, $65,000.

You're going to have it.

I mean, there's got to be some

negligence involved in this case

that's.

Well, you saw a video.

With the sheriff, you would

assume, right?

Because Barney Fife?

Yeah.

I mean, there's just no way.

Sorry.

What are you laughing?

Bitcoin prices going down, now

it's a deal.

Now you get it on discount.

Right, it's gone down since the

original notes, so then I have

the guy settling for less.

Wild man, OK.

They go for the info for half a

Bitcoin and then when there's a

public arrest, you give me the

other half.

Disregarded.

OK.

All right, moving on.

Howard Stern's former assistant

is suing him, claiming A famed

radio personality created a

hostile workplace.

I could see that continue all.

Right.

The lady's name is Leslie Kuhn.

She began working for him in

2022 as his office manager at

his SiriusXM.

Then he told her, we're going to

give you a raise.

You can be my personal assistant

and my wife's personal

assistant.

His wife runs a some type of

rescue.

Dog.

Animal dogs and cats, yeah.

So now he's now she's the

executive assistant, but her

raise well, first, how much do

you think she was making for the

SiriusXM job A. 100 KA year.

Phil, I don't know, 120 A.

$100,000.

OK.

All right, then in 2025, they

gave her a raise to take on this

new job.

So three years later, yeah, take

on all this other stuff.

OK.

What's the new rate?

One O 5.

Phil. 90 it.

Went down.

Well, I would.

You know.

Great job we're.

Paying you.

You know what we're?

Going to 10 hostile.

We're going to take 10K off the

top here.

Maybe it was the same guy that

put the information out for the

Iranians.

Hey, watch this.

Now she's making 265,000.

Dollars, OK, it's happening.

With an $80,000 bonus to move

closer to them in the Hamptons.

OK.

Your voice is getting doing the

thing again.

Me again.

Yep, just you.

What?

Is going on bling?

See where your watch is?

Look where your watch is.

It's back in that spot.

OK, yes.

It's not my watch think.

I can get him to take his shirt

off too.

We go one time.

It's.

A Gray shirt.

Nobody wants that, so but then

in 2026, they fired bubbly.

Wait, no, it's good now.

So in 2026, they fire her?

Yeah, he moved the watch.

Oh, he took it off.

Yeah, they fired her for alleged

misconduct.

I.

Don't know why you're so angry,

I'm just trying to help.

I hope it goes bubbly again.

I hope it doesn't.

What?

He says I hope it goes bubbly

again.

Oh, is it bubbly?

Is it doing the ticking?

Or is it?

No, it's like your voice is

like, yeah, it's like the story

like that, yeah.

It's your what?

So there's no details of what

she did.

Yeah.

So what's the, what's the

lawsuit about?

I don't understand.

Well, she's suing them for a

hostile work environment because

they fired her for something she

didn't do, so she claims.

OK, allegedly.

Yes, and it's affecting her

ability to find another job.

Well, I mean you were making 200

and something a year.

Yeah, over $200,000 to run a dog

shelter and make sure Howard

Stern had his hot water and

lemon or.

Look, there's no way.

There's got to be a legitimate

reason, you know?

Well, they gave her the raise at

the in December of 2025, OK.

And then in 2026, they fired.

Her owe too much money, is that

what you're saying?

I have no idea.

They're not saying why.

We're paying her 1/4 of

$1,000,000 a year.

The wife, Beth, has been listed

as one of the main reasons for

the hostile work environment.

Oh.

So maybe this, maybe this Leslie

lady, maybe she's attractive and

Beth is getting a little up in

age now.

I don't think that's the case.

I'm just looking at options.

I understand, you know, look, a

personal assistant, it's got to

be tough.

Oh, sure.

You got it.

You got to flow with the person.

And now it's it's like 24 hours

a day because now she's moved in

with them.

Yeah, You've only had, you

probably only had some

experience with with Howard

Turner's wife, Beth, kind of

like remotely just kind of

interacting.

And now all of a sudden you're

her personal assistant, right?

It could be oil and water,

right, Right.

And then that's like.

Yeah, maybe she's just not a

nice person.

What best Stern?

I don't think, I don't think

that's the case.

I think that, you know,

realistically, again, there has

to be a level of synergy there.

You know, they got a mesh and

maybe you meshed well with Stern

with Howard, right?

But adding another variable,

maybe you don't mesh with her

like, hey, listen, this isn't

working out.

So maybe she went in and said,

hey, I don't know.

I can't.

This isn't it's you know, we're

not on the same page here.

So you know, well then at that

point then I need you to revert,

revert back to just becoming my

personal assistant.

OK, well, what about the extra

100 GS?

Well, that's gone, right, Right.

So could be.

Yeah.

It's I'm not speaking from

experience and we don't pay our

assistant that much.

Since they just lost their

assistant.

Yeah, but.

They lost their assistant.

You lost your assistant.

Yeah, Friday.

Well, she's leaving Friday.

Hostile work environment.

Hostile work environment.

No, no.

Is it because if Tia's dog and

cat rescue?

Potential lawsuit?

No, she, she wants, she wants to

have another kid and we can't

give her medical insurance for

that.

I gotcha not.

Where I thought he was going to

go.

She wants another kid and I just

can't give it to her.

I just can't provide it I.

Can't.

No, it's I got.

I got a new one coming.

I can't.

Have 85 children at this point.

Whoever takes that spot, I mean,

it's it is difficult because

it's really an assistant for

Tia, but I come, you know, I'm

the extra baggage.

Oh, he's Beth Stern.

Oh yeah, you're Beth.

Yeah, in this scenario.

It's a little rough when I walk

in and I turn on, you know,

Biggie Smalls and I got to work

with, you know, with that music

and then.

And I need my Twinkies and my

Hostess cakes and.

Well, I do ask them to order

food at times.

Yeah, and I need a driver.

A driver?

What the hell you need a driver

for?

He gets anxiety.

Sometimes, yeah.

Long drives, yeah.

I I have to drive to the store.

I need Cheetos.

Can you drive me?

No.

They have Cheetos in my office.

Why aren't the Cheetos here?

Yeah, why are we at?

Why are we out of Cheetos, for

God's sakes?

There was one time I was really

hungry and I was like, we

there's a reason why we keep the

chip stocked here because if I

get super hungry, I could just

grab some chips.

Can you imagine?

Can you imagine signing up as a

personal assistant for his wife

and then realizing that he comes

along with the deal?

He can tell me to do things too.

And that he comes in like a man

baby bitching about Cheetos not

being there and then requesting

someone to drive him to go get

the Cheetos.

T is trying to get permits

pulled in things for jobs and I

had a stomp.

T, I'm sorry he wanted Cheetos.

I don't want me to.

Do I don't know why we can't

give a personal assistant here?

And T is going I don't know

what's.

Going on, they're getting paid.

I'm nice of these people and

everything.

I'm giving you money, is it?

$265,000.

No, not even close.

No, not even.

Close.

It's more like $65.

If it was, if it was paying that

much, I'd take the job.

You can't.

Get your own Cheetos.

Yeah, yeah, we've already proven

that fact.

The poor lady's quitting over

it.

Do you think he has like a king

crown?

That's.

They put.

Down as soon as he walks in.

Yeah, like it's probably held by

the door and then.

He goes back into the glass

office and changes clothes and

things and.

I must go.

Acts like there's a solid wall.

There, unrobe me so I can go

through my day.

I have to pee.

Who's coming with?

Someone hold this, I like to pee

like this.

My wipies, where are the dude

wipes?

There are no more dude wipes in

the bathroom.

Oh, you don't want to go in the

bathroom with me?

No problem.

I pissed on the floor.

You will be cleaning that.

Hey, that dog.

Hey, Phil, I just want you to

know the personal assistant

quit.

Why?

Why?

Yeah, seriously.

I.

Really liked her.

Yeah, she seems so nice.

Oh my God, that's awesome.

That was good.

I needed that after the bad news

you guys gave me.

Yeah.

JW has passed.

JW is back.

Let me bring that back.

Don't.

Forget you, God.

They unplugged him too if that

helps you stop.

You know what?

No.

Stop.

Did they look?

Yes.

Look, Oh my God, you know what?

Here's the harsh, harsh reality.

People die.

You have 100% chance of dying.

I understand.

No one gets out alive right?

And you know, I guess the sad

part is, but for you and I is

that we've had some experience

of people passing You, on the

other hand, have not have not.

Well, that's not true because

you recently had one. 23.

You're 3.

Yeah.

Did your mother tell you they

just went to go live at a farm?

Tony, my Uncle Greg, and then

Tia's dad's girlfriend.

She's she's kind of like.

That one doesn't count.

The blonde lady.

Oh, she's not blonde.

She's definitely white haired.

She passed.

No, no, no, her son, oh, her son

passed. 7/7 times removed.

Well, I used to hang out with

them and.

The get together Tia's dad's

girlfriend.

I'm like I've met.

Her.

Yeah.

And he goes.

Oh no, it was her son.

Yeah, I don't know.

No, not her son.

Her son's girlfriend's brother.

Oh.

Oh, I feel so bad.

Tony is the big one for you.

That was that was the big.

That was your biggest, I would,

I would say as far as, you know,

experience with death.

So, I mean, my Uncle Greg was my

favorite uncle.

Was he?

Yeah.

You fired him.

No, I had, I had, I had.

Well, things happened.

I had to get him away.

Yeah.

Because I didn't want to hate

him because he was, I mean, he

was like a, he was like an

uncle.

Like when I was a little kid, I

was like, oh man, I can't wait

to go to Grandma's because Uncle

Greg's there.

Do you think uncles kind of

disappoint you as you get older?

Once you kind of get to know

them a little more, they're no

longer the fun uncle.

No, he was always a fun uncle.

I mean, I no, no, I don't agree

with that.

I mean, he was always fun.

It's just.

I didn't say that it wasn't.

Just ask him.

No, I, I think, I think you

understand like some of the

things that they do.

But no, they don't disappoint

me.

Yeah, did you have a funcal?

No.

No fun, uncle.

We weren't close with the

outlying family because we moved

so much.

Right, so no cool aunt.

Nope.

Well, yeah, but that's the one

my mother doesn't talk to.

And now we understand why.

Yeah, I don't blame my aunt.

I don't.

Know maybe you should call her.

I talked to her through her

daughter, my cousin.

Yeah, yeah, we, we have the word

is friended each other on

Facebook and we we chat now and

then.

Gotcha, I feel like you missed

out.

Catch up, everybody.

Yeah, I do too.

Like Adrian's family's real

close and we see all her

relatives.

You know, you go to one place

and 75 different relatives show

up.

And I'm like.

Who's that?

I haven't even met that one

before.

Yeah.

You know, Grandma, my dad's

parents would come visit once in

a great while when we were kids,

and we'd go to Tennessee once in

a great while and visit, you

know, then you go house to

house.

But as a kid, you know, you go

house to house and then really

just sitting there where the

grown-ups talk and they just

look at you.

Minimal interaction, yeah.

Till the cousins show up and

then you all go and play.

Then you get in trouble with

being loud.

Yeah.

Stop that.

What are you doing?

Right, You think you'd be closer

with your brother once you

realize came to that

realization.

We don't like each other.

You have a brother?

You have an older brother.

Does he look like you?

But bigger, not fatter.

He's just bigger.

He's a biker, biker and a cop.

You were a biker.

Yeah.

Riding through this world, where

is he, A police officer?

Piones County.

Pinellas or Pine Hills?

Pinellas, Pinellas, however you

say it.

Pinellas.

Where's Pinellas?

He's a resource officer now.

That's like in Pinellas is like

the middle of nowhere.

That's like schools.

Yeah, he used to be the guy.

If you beat your child, he came

and took them from you, right?

Oh, like ADCF cop?

Yeah, and I mean big biker guy,

you don't you're gonna go oh,

take.

Would you like the other one

too?

I.

Just right.

Even my dead body.

I can arrange that like

Kindergarten Cop.

You hit him, I hit you.

OK, moving on. 40 minutes now.

Alright, in the cigar news,

unless you have a video for us

today, Michael, what do you

have?

Listen, I feel the pressure

every day for the video, every

day for the video.

Fire.

Spark video was neat once I

could listen to the.

Audio this the revert?

I don't want it to revert.

OK, it looks fine.

I saw this last night and it

popped back up again.

So I was like, OK, we're going

to play this.

So it's a video at Sam's Club.

Lady is going to get some

chicken and I guess see how this

unfolds.

Do you turn the volume down

again?

Yeah, that's fine.

And then you can play it later.

Oh, it didn't.

Why is this lady?

How nasty.

Did she not like the lady

behind?

Her like, I don't know.

Did you send it to Palmer?

Weird.

Yeah, I sent it with the both of

you.

Did you not get it?

And it was the lady with the

camera.

What's that?

It was the lady with the camera

who got the chicken taken from

her.

Yeah, I think she had like

Meadows on or something.

She had to be recording.

The the blonde or the lady in

the pink?

Did she say because she she they

had an interaction?

She makes a comment saying oh

she was here before you.

Like what is that about?

She can go fast at Costco.

It's Sam's.

Sam's sorry.

You got to fight that out.

Like, what's going on here?

What are we doing?

Yeah.

It seems mean.

I mean, there wasn't really a

line, yeah.

You just could have sat tight

and then another bachelor came

out or whatever if you like.

I mean, the guy just kind of

dropped it over there.

It's not like he was like.

Right, he's just throwing them

on the shelf.

Yeah, maybe the other one was

her friend.

Had to have been something like

that.

She knew or something.

That was so, but that was hey.

Nancy, you take this one.

I mean, my God, something else

had to happen before that.

Somebody.

I would, I would bet.

Maybe she sniped her on a sample

or something with a cookie.

Sample sniping, Yeah.

What do you think happened

beforehand?

Like how does that happen?

I don't know, I have a brain

block right now I'm sorry guys

he's.

Just taking it all in, He's

reflecting on right?

Now that the death.

On the demise of all of

everybody.

Right.

Wow, I don't know.

I I was, I didn't see anything

wrong in the video.

What?

What happened?

The lady with the camera went to

go get chicken and the other

lady took it the.

One in the pink.

And slid it over to the right so

that she couldn't give.

Her chicken Give the camera

chicken lady to somebody else's.

Chicken.

I mean she legit had her hand on

it and she said Nope.

Slid not for you and then smiles

at her.

Like sorry she was here before

you.

Like, Ouch.

I don't know, she probably like

cut her off with her cart or

something.

Could be could be a cart

problem.

It really is kind of hard to

tell who's in the right there

and that's.

Right, without knowing what

happened before.

Yeah, right.

Maybe she did do something to

justify the taking of the

chicken.

Yeah, because I'm sure I talked

about this before, but whenever

I have my parking space and

people would park there, I would

block them.

We'll park your parking space

where I where?

Did you have the?

Parking space.

I used to have a a parking, so

at the auction for the school, I

would always buy the front

parking space for the early

Learning Center when Teddy was

was there.

And then people said my name on

it and people would pull up

because they're going to run in

and out and just block and they

would park in the spot.

So I would just move behind them

and block them.

And then when they came out

like, hey, I got to go.

I'm like, you're going to wait.

You shouldn't have been in my.

Spot.

You know what, Mr. Mike?

Jesus.

Is.

Watching wouldn't be having this

problem.

Yeah, Like, wow.

Yeah.

Well, I don't even.

We've never heard this before.

Really.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I, well, yeah.

I'm like, I, well, you know.

So you wasn't good?

No, you go.

You have your own parking spot

and you coach all our teams.

It was annual and when she moved

out, when she levelled up to the

school, I didn't get the one by

the school.

I didn't want that one because

that one's even worse.

So like at ELCI can block that

spot and not jam up traffic.

If somebody were to take your

spot at the school, if you block

that spot, you're going to jam

up traffic.

And I'm just not that.

I'm not at that.

Level that upset yet?

You know, so yeah, I know I'd

block her.

I'd block them prepared for

whoever it is.

Now, if I if I had blocked the

person and like a pregnant lady

came out, I would have felt

terrible.

I'm like, I'm you know what you

guys had you just take my spot

no problem.

But it was always like some

dude.

What about a grandparent?

Nah.

Veteran.

Nah.

Handicap.

What type of handicap?

No.

A walking handicap.

Like they're struggling to walk.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you'd still block them.

No, if I block them like you

know what, I'm sorry.

Sorry, I didn't realize.

You know what, if I see your car

again, you can just take the

spot.

But like veterans, so broad.

Well, I'm picturing an old man.

Yeah, well, with.

A hat on it says U.S.

Navy.

I was on, you know, the USS

Constitution or something.

It's like, well, I'm a veteran,

alright.

Well, what did you do?

You know, like, I was a mechanic

kid.

I was, I was a mechanic at Fort

Bragg.

Like OK.

Mashed potato for 75,000 people.

I used to cook chicken.

Like I'm like, oh, OK.

Like, I don't know, like, like

what?

Set you off again.

Like where's the line here?

You know what I mean?

So it just can't be blanketing

for me.

You know, if I saw a license

plate disabled vet, I'd consider

it.

Like, maybe I don't block that

guy, right?

But I'd ask more questions later

because I know plenty of people

that are disabled and it's like,

you're fine, dude.

Like we're all, we're all in

pain.

You're not in, you're not in the

legitimate pain that, that, that

a disabled veteran actually did.

As a matter of fact, if I was a

disabled veteran and I saw you

walking around, I'd be pissed

off, right?

Like, you know, screw this guy.

I had, I got 3 bullets in me

that they couldn't remove,

right?

For whatever reason.

And you have neck pain.

Like, you know, what are we

doing?

It's a lot.

Of neck pain really hurts.

We're all in neck pain.

If you're 40 plus, you're in

neck pain.

You're in all sorts of pain,

yeah.

Well, when you're, you know,

putting £500 on your shoulders

and squatting it.

Yeah, that's usually not.

Of course, like you, well, you

don't do that anymore.

Are you still in the interest

though?

Don't need to blood, don't.

Need to blood.

That I've actually, I've been

slowly trying to get back to

that, to the squats, yeah.

So it's over then?

Oh, that's long time, but it's

still not the same.

I'm still not the same, right?

No pain and suffering, never the

same.

She go back.

No, it doesn't work that way.

A little extra doesn't work that

way.

She.

Says we did a story last week.

A guy's going back every six

months suing somebody.

Oh, it was Jello pudding guy

Bill Cosby gets.

Sexual allegations Jello pudding

guy.

Jello pudding guy.

Is one lady for the last 18?

Years Bill Cosby.

OK, All right.

Oh, good.

Greg is Greg is approving

orders.

Nice.

All right, now, buddy, Luciano's

back in the news.

Luciano the Maker is coming in

late June.

So apparently he's still with

Constella's group.

Luciano's Cigars has announced a

new core line that will be

showing off at the upcoming PCA

2026 PCA convention, a trade

show.

It is called Luciano the Maker,

New Coraline that goes along

with Luciano the Dreamer.

And Luciano was the other one.

Oh, he's vice president of the

Constella USA.

See, she's often overlooked when

See the Maker was developed.

With that in mind, I'm trying to

find what the other cigars were.

All right, this cigar is a

Habano Corojo 99 rapper from an

undisclosed country.

OK, can't say where I got this

tobacco.

From all right.

Ecuadorian Sumatra seed and

Mexican Senator is binders and

fillers from the Dominican

Republic and Nicaragua, creating

what the company says is a

medium to full bodied cigar.

OK, the cigars are made at

Anybody want to guess Constella

group Luciano Tabacos SA in

Nicaragua.

So he has another.

Factory.

Oh, look at that.

Wow. 2 sizes, a 6 by 52 and a 6

1/2 by 54.

You could guess the price of

either one.

I have both, Phil.

Obviously they're different.

Five finger discount.

No, How much?

Oh, I didn't know if we were

going with a theme here, $12.00.

That's probably close.

I'm going to say 14. 1275 or

1295?

Yeah.

I want both.

If Charlie, if you're watching

you have a typo.

He has 12 comma 75 not 12.75 and

12 comma 95 not 12 point.

I would correct him, but he's

been asking for a press release

and I haven't delivered that I

was.

Going to ask you about that this

morning going.

To try and get that done today.

Luciano the Maker is the largest

the latest installment in

serious cigars that explores the

human themes that dated back to

July 2019 for Luciano the

Traveller and Luciano the

Dreamer.

Now he is Luciano the Maker.

Nice.

OK, moving on.

Yep, I'm trying to Craft 2026

heads the stores as of

yesterday.

Yay.

About six weeks later than

planned.

Craft 2026 has been released

today, April 6th.

Roma Craft Tobacco Shipping

Craft 2026, the latest in this

flagship craft brand.

The 2026 measures A5 by 60,

though each 10 count box

features 10 different looking

cigars.

It's only 10 different cigars.

Gentlemen, we were wrong before,

yes.

Not everyone is different.

Right.

Not 10,000 different cigars,

just 10 different cigars.

It's not like a Andean bear.

Right.

Do you know crafts bears?

What?

You know what an Andean bear is?

Andean, a bear from Andean.

Kind of, yeah.

All right.

But you want to know what makes

them so different.

They're all different.

They're all different.

You know why they're different?

They're from Andean.

Now, the spectacles, their

dresses, around their eyes, they

call them spectacles, and

they're all different patches

and colors.

It's like fingerprints for them.

Yeah, how about that?

It's not like 10 and 10.

You.

Know zebras the same way.

They're all striped different.

They're all starting different.

You know the kangaroo has three

vaginas.

Yes, you like to drop that one

out?

Don't.

You.

That's one of my favorite ones.

Favorite thing?

Right.

Yeah, Craft series has been used

by Roman Kraft to back to show

off the talent of its cigar

rollers, and it's interesting

designs on the rappers.

Yeah, that was a nice segue from

three vaginas to craft cigars.

Yeah, that's perfect, perfect.

Previously, Skip Martin, Co

founder of Roman Craft Back,

told Half Wheel that the Craft

2026 blend uses 9 different

varieties of tobacco from six

different countries.

Delicious.

He declined to specify which

tobaccos they were.

Undisclosed.

Undisclosed Undisclosed.

Eat cigars and MSRP of

gentlemen.

You want me to go first?

Chair 16.

He already knew.

Is that what it is?

Yeah, no way.

You got it right on the money.

I figured you would have known,

right?

Now I don't remember.

I was going to say 15.

So it was scheduled to arrive in

mid February, but packaging

delays caused the release to be

pushed back to now.

There you go.

So they're on their way,

everyone.

All the leather is done, all

the.

Leather.

All the leather is done.

All right, PDR Cigars is

bringing back the AFR 75.

I know how much you like the AFR

70.

Yeah, I'm a huge fan.

This summer, PDR Cigars will be

reintroducing the AFR 75 line,

which was first released in.

Nicaragua, 2015. 2013 but on

hiatus recently.

Recently, Nicaragua was

originally released in He Goes

Nicaragua.

Knocking on the door.

I think your friend is here.

Oh yeah, maybe.

AFR 75 was originally developed

as a small batch project by Abe

Flores, who wanted to showcase

the highest level of

craftsmanship at his factory.

You tell.

Me what?

Well, not a limited edition.

It was limited in production as

it was already rolled by select

individuals.

Nice.

Very sad.

Do we need to end now?

Are we done?

That's when we're over.

No, we got to get going.

Preston is here.

And that is the end of the joke,

because Preston just walked.

In Mikey got really tipper all

the sudden.

Hey, jumped up.

He's in such a good mood.

I'll get the door.

I'll get it.

You guys don't get up.

Yeah I I enjoy his company way

better than you 2 slap Dicks,

that's for sure.

Yeah, he doesn't screw up

editing or say anything

inappropriate.

I don't say inappropriate

things.

You're not allowed to anymore.

You're a lost soul.

We're trying to, we're trying to

help you, trying to save you.

So you can have an assistant

that'll stay with your company.

Yeah.

OK.

All right.

Delaware.

Yes.

Amends their smoking ban to

allow smoking in cigar lounges.

This is Delaware County, not

Delaware, the state.

Oh, OK.

Very confusing.

On Monday, Delaware County

commissioners approved an

exemption to the county smoking

ban that will clear the way for

cigar stores and lounges to

allow their customers to smoke.

In order to qualify for the

exemption is cigar lounge must?

There are three things.

Give us $10,000.

There's three things.

Your first born child.

Have to have a liquor license.

One OK prohibit anyone under 21

years of age for mentoring 2 OK.

Three, you can only smoke cigars

inside.

No cigarettes, no vapes, no

nothing.

Else, you know, the liquor

license question mark.

But the other two sounds

reasonable to me, yeah.

Two out of three in.

Bed I don't know why I have to

have a liquor license.

Additionally, we have.

A oh, wait, wait, wait, are you

on me?

I'm on the 2.

OK.

Are you going to hit?

Are you fire the sparklers?

No, this is me.

Well, first of all, we don't

know if we're going to have

sparklers today.

I'm just waiting.

Here comes the other shoe.

I'm looking for the shoe to

drop.

I didn't know what you I thought

you were going to try to hit a

bug with the.

With the flames?

No.

No.

Additionally, the lounge cannot

function as a restaurant,

meaning the food and beverage

sales equal or exceeds 60% of

the business annual gross

income.

After year in operation, the

lounge must generate at least

20% of its gross income from the

sale of cigars and the rental of

on site humidors.

Banana.

Yes, it means a locker.

Yeah.

You get.

The turns?

That doesn't make sense.

No, that doesn't make sense.

Turn your thing off and on

again.

Who you?

Where's your watch?

Oh, jazz hands.

You know what, Dad?

Did you plug these in and are

they fully charged?

You know what could be?

The charger is still plugged in.

I'm charging the charger right?

But no, they these were charging

this.

Morning.

So they're not 100%.

Well, so the.

Charging base Charging them

every time you put them.

In right unless it's on a

battery.

But it did have battery, but I

figured it needed to be charged

again.

So all three were plugged in at

one time on a supercharger,

right?

So maybe you can't have the base

unit charging while you're using

it.

Could be, maybe, maybe I don't

know all these things.

No watch for him, they can't be

plugged in, no phones in there

or anything.

Can you turn off your

defibrillator for about another

20 minutes?

Yeah.

Right.

This is worse than the

conditions in Colorado County.

Yeah, it really is.

Yeah, take off your.

Pants.

Oh, sorry, not.

That kind of show anymore.

Yeah, it gets uncomfortable.

We said we weren't going to do

that.

Yeah, all right.

Same with the industry's

favorite game.

Oh.

What?

A score where?

Did he go?

Is he not participating in the

game?

He's the one that sat down and

got comfortable.

I don't.

Know, I said, what's the score

with this I mean.

Yeah, we do a show.

I'll tell him I'll I'll review

with him.

All right, it's from April 6th,

2016.

Patrick Lagreed is the reviewer.

OK.

Knuckle Sandwich Cigars, Limited

Edition Nicaragua Redux and

Mikey's done with the show.

I win.

Stay on him.

I win.

It's a knuckle sandwich 56

redux.

OK.

Are you going to shoot him now?

No, stay on him.

You're still on him.

Yeah.

OK, I think it's 52.

Why am I guessing the score?

Are you?

Leaving a Knuckle Sandwich Redux

by Patrick.

By Patrick the 56.

And the 56, the Redux 89.

It was done yesterday, yeah.

It's a good score.

You say cigar score. 94.

The best one was the 55.

This is an Uncle Sandwich 56

country of origin in Nicaragua

factory San Letano Letano

Letano.

Is this the Oval one?

This is the 56.

If you give me a minute, I'll

tell you.

When it came out.

Three years ago, almost.

He's 59.

No, he just came out with the

58.

Release date 2024.

There you go, 3.

Years ago, they smoked one.

That's all you got.

The redux.

So I go again.

Yes, now you can go.

Again 89. 91.

Always hitting buttons.

I'm excited.

Clue and #1 The Knuckle Sandwich

56 comes out swinging with a

rich, Hardy profile loaded with

earth, pepper and steak off the

grill kind of aroma that makes

it feel bold and satisfying

right from the start. 90. 91.

Clue #2. 18 it.

What?

What?

Have you seen it?

No, but if I win I want to hit

the sparklers.

You don't get sparklers.

They're my sparklers, that's

how.

This works.

I thought they should have been

1:00 on the other side too.

But yeah, it's not fun.

Thanks.

Palmer.

No, it's just me.

That way whoever the winner is

gets them.

Nope.

But the problem is there is only

one remote and they would both

go up every time.

I'm the sparkler guy. #2

Construction sounds excellent

overall with a smooth draw,

strong burn performance for most

of the smoke, and a profile that

gained some welcome to

creaminess in the second third

to balance out the pepper. 91.

91. #3 As the cigar moved into

the second-half, some of the

flavors lost their sharpness and

became more blended together,

with a little extra dryness and

heat showing up near the end.

91. 90.

I thought after two years of

rest, the Knuckle Sandwich 56 is

held on to many of the same

flavors that earned it such a

good cigar when I smoked it two

years ago.

The biggest change, particularly

in the second-half, is that

those flavors have come together

so tightly that a lot of their

individual definition have been

lost.

Just like a good Stew is

enjoyable, it's now about the

simmered combination of the

individual components.

And while it's still possible to

pick out the keynotes, it's not

easy as I remember it being.

That said, the flavor balancing

complexity still shine.

But if asked to pick which one I

enjoyed more, it's a no doubter

that this cigar for my palate

was more enjoyable 2 years ago

compared to today.

So before you say the final

score, I have the final score of

this one.

I also have the original final

score, so you're going to be

guessing both.

OK.

First, today's score.

So this could be a split.

If you got 1, he got the other.

No winner.

You have to get them both.

You have to get both.

You have to get them both.

That is today's rule.

Let.

Me see here.

So you were first guessing the

redux. 90. 89. 89 on the nose,

Bing.

Hit the spark.

Calm down, calm down, calm down,

calm down.

Now we have the original score

from April 2024.

If you get this one correct,

it's a split.

Nobody wins.

No fireworks.

Oh, he doesn't want to hit the

sparklers.

No, we're just trying to mix up

a.

We're not doing fireworks

regardless.

Huh.

We're.

Not doing fireworks regardless.

Not at this point, because he

won the 1st. 191. 90.

It's 91.

Go ahead, hit sparklers anyway.

So are you saying I win?

No, you.

Can only hit the spiders.

Win.

Oh, you didn't win.

You guys split it?

OK, well then maybe throw Spark.

All right, go.

So now that you did too, now you

got to throw one more in.

You know what?

No, let's now you're.

Gonna have a tie.

Breaker Yeah, let's hit the

sparklers because of J dub.

Hit it.

Nope.

Not doing it.

Not doing it.

Here's what I want you to do.

Sudden death, OK, I want you to

say the cigar, OK, and who did

it and the date and it can be

whenever and we will do a sudden

death score.

Yeah, no clues with. 0 clues.

Oh, gotcha.

OK, otherwise.

You're gonna take forever.

All right, hold on.

Let me pick one.

Ever.

Will that be fun?

That'll be fun.

I'm.

Going to win.

If you win, no spark place I'm.

Going to win.

Yeah, if he wins, no spark

place.

I'm going to throw my water in

the air.

So I just say name a cigar and

who reviewed?

It name a cigar, who reviewed it

and the date.

OK, hold on, Can I buy something

good this?

Is going to be good.

Keanu is going to.

Be so mad when I throw all this

water.

In there sudden death.

Hold on, I got to hit it all

right.

The cigar is from November 30th,

2014.

Brian Burt.

It's from 262 Cigars, the Mr.

Pink.

The Mr. Pink do you want?

Me to go is this is this mad

booth?

No.

Hold on, hold on, I gotta go.

I love the end.

You don't.

You don't get to know other.

Things I have the number.

OK, You're ready?

Yeah.

You go first.

You want me to go first?

Yeah. 82

Come on. 83.

You went the right way, yeah.

89.

Wow at 89.

You're being good at 89, no

fireworks.

No fireworks today.

You went too low.

I would have went higher on that

one.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Without even knowing what it

was.

I don't even know what that is.

I don't know what it is either.

Yeah, I felt, I felt like you

would have botched.

I don't think Brian has hit a

low one anywhere, but I have

information you guys don't have

because I see all these scores

all the time.

Right, OK, if you would have.

Went 85 then it would have been

a little harder.

Yeah.

It's probably good that we

didn't use the sparklers because

we don't know if they were.

Well, we got to test them

anyway, so we'll do it after.

Listen, you're not going to

you're not going to reverse

psychology me into pushing the

button.

Oh, I'm not reversing anything.

I just know I won.

Oh, this is what happens.

This is what happens.

The feathers go off.

Who wants to see me?

Take the mask off?

Who wants to see?

Me.

No.

All right, go on.

Me, I got something.

On April 24th.

We'll be doing a Basa Hooten

Young and Bentley event upstairs

at Cigar Hustler, and we'll have

a dunk tank where you can dunk

Mr. John Carney or myself.
