1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,159
Speaker 1: Sometimes people get sick ladies and gentlemen. Happens. Sometimes they

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: get a touch of the cold or the flu, or,

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: in the case of Fingers Malloy, meningitis. No way, I

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: mean gingervitis. Meningitis would be a serious issue.

5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: Fingers, focus on men, manly, that's what we're doing here, right.

6
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: No, you sound throaty see drink smoke. Sorry, I'm Tony Katz.

7
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: That right there is America's favorite amateur drinker, Fingers Maloy.

8
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: And because he's got some kind of creeping crud that

9
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: hasn't stopped him from looking magnificent in his shadowy, shadowy cave.

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: We had to be in separate locations today in order

11
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: to do the show. I feel bad about this.

12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: Fingers, No, you don't. Let's be honest here. You told

13
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: me not to show up at the Eat, Drink Smoke

14
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: studios because you said, oh, I don't want to get sick.

15
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: When when when I have a vacation to go on

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: to Vegas. Now I ask you, would you let anybody

17
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: get in the way of your time in Las Vegas.

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: It's impossible to be sick in Las Vegas. Once you

19
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: show up and you have your first makers mark on

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: the rocks. All of the germs, the bacteria, the bacteria germs,

21
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: they all go away.

22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: All the bacteria, germs go away.

23
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: All go away. And what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,

24
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: and what happens outside of Vegas stays outside of Vegas.

25
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:34,919
Speaker 2: That's how it works.

26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: We are smoking the l ray Domundo. This right here

27
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: is called the appointment Interesting interesting stick where the rapper

28
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: is made by Christian Aroa and then the rest of

29
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: the cigar is OURDM. This is a gordo. This is

30
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: a five by sixty, which means it's five inches long. Gee,

31
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: oh my god, oh you sound bad. You see, usually

32
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: I say cigar is five inches long, and fingers will away,

33
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: I'll go tee And because it's kind of funny to him,

34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: it makes him laugh and it's always hilarious. And now

35
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: now you just sound like death, just a chess cold right,

36
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: who knows? You know?

37
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: It was odd oddly enough, you know, I was speaking

38
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: to missus malloy earlier and it said, I go get

39
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: like one of those those COVID tests. No, And then

40
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: she said, well what do you do with that?

41
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: Right? Like?

42
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: What am I gonna do with that? What are you

43
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: gonna do with that, So I just continued to lay

44
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 2: in bed and moan.

45
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: So the cigar is five inches and the ring gauge

46
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: is a sixty six zero, So that's a diameter of

47
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: the cigar or how thick it is around? Te Glad

48
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: we got passed this part. A sixty four ring gage

49
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: would be a full one inch rounds, I will tell

50
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: you right now, not my ring gauge, not how I work.

51
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: And yes, indeed I am the only one smoking because

52
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: fingers if he does, he'll he'll immediately die.

53
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: Well that and unfortunately I do not have the ability

54
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: to smoke indoors when it's well. Actually, today in Central Indiana,

55
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: the weather isn't all that bad as far as temperature goes.

56
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: You know, we got a lot of rain, but it's

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 2: still if you if you had a covered porch, or

58
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: you smoke in the garage with the door open, it

59
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: wouldn't be all that bad. I think it's still in

60
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: the high thirties, low forties.

61
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. When you plant your beanstalk,

62
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: how tall does it grow? Wow?

63
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: What? Seriously? This is once again showing ladies and gentlemen

64
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: just how close of a friend Tony katz is he

65
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: enjoys seeing me in pain. He he loves seeing me uncomfortable.

66
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: Not true, not true. This has me concerned in many ways,

67
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: mostly for the show, right, I gotta make sure that

68
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: that's always doing all right.

69
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: Well, I do feel bad that you know, here you are,

70
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: you're trying to light up your cigar, you know, to

71
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: give each rink, smoke nation, your thoughts, your impressions on

72
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: the first third of the stick. And I'm not there

73
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: to help you and to smoke a cigar because I can't.

74
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: But that don't don't ever force yourself, which is key

75
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: and fundamental. This is a Cameroon wrapper that's done by

76
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: a roa broadleaf USA Connecticut broad leaf in the binder filler,

77
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: and Honduras and Nicaragua. So this is hey you first

78
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: of all, that's lovely, man, holy cow, there's a mix

79
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: of things. I love Cameroon, love Connecticut broad leaf, love,

80
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: Honduras and Nicaragua. We're friends. We'll see how it goes.

81
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: Excellent draw the wrapper itself. A little bit of oil

82
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: on this, but definitely bumpy. If you could take a look,

83
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: you can like see every single part of that right there,

84
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: every last little bit of this of this wrapper.

85
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: But it's a beautifu band too.

86
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, the band is in the purple and gold, and

87
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: it's called the Appointment. It comes in a bunch of

88
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: different batolas that it's a five x fifty robusto. There's

89
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: a six x fifty four toro as well, but this

90
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: is the gordo. A lot of halft, as you can

91
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: imagine in a sixty ring gauge. They will tell you

92
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: that it comes across as a medium on first puff.

93
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: Right here, I would think that they're accurate. Get your notebook,

94
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: what'd you eat today? What'd you drink today?

95
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 2: Right?

96
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: That matters? And the weather right now, fingers is right.

97
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: The cold has broken. We've gotten over forty degrees. It

98
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: won't be that way for long. It's not gonna be

99
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: that way for long. And we will see temperatures because

100
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: it's the Midwest that hit negative seventy two thousand. It's

101
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: gonna be very, very chilly. But you want to take

102
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: the cigar, break it up at the thirds, Yes, even

103
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: a robusto at five inches long, first third, second third,

104
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: final third, And what is the flavors you're getting out

105
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: of each third of the cigar? Write those down in

106
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: your notebook, what'd you eat, what did you drink? That's

107
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: gonna happen a effect on your palette. And then when

108
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: you try the cigar a month from now, six months

109
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: from now, whatever it is, you go back, you do

110
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: the same thing and you check your notes. You kind

111
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: of get you through lined. You're the idea of where

112
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: you are with the cigar. Um. This is unbelievably rich.

113
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: There's a lot happening within this cigar. It is rarely

114
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: do I say that a cigar has that bourbonesque kind

115
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: of caramel going on in it, But that's their fingers.

116
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting. The other thing that I'm actually kind

117
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 2: of surprised that you have this in your human or

118
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: because this ring gauge is not something that you're normally into.

119
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't do sixties and I don't do rabustos. Both

120
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: things are not my things. But what do we do here?

121
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: Fingers boy?

122
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: We try new things, that's right.

123
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: We do people's taxes incorrectly, we also try new things,

124
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: and so that's that's what this is for us. So

125
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: I have one for you waiting for you. There's a

126
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: little bit of caramel, there's a little bit of there,

127
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: there's definitely a seater going on, and I think those

128
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: two things are giving a very very unique richness to

129
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: this cigar right here. This is a nice presentation. Now,

130
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: I would rather have gotten this as a toro and

131
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: had six inches to work with and because that's more

132
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: of where my my my palate goes into, more of

133
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: my time goes. But this from l ray Do mundou

134
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: this is the appointment cigar fingers will lowy coming in

135
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: at eight dollars and fifty cents. And the answer is,

136
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. How would I know? I just

137
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: lit this up. My my knowledge base of lray Do

138
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: Mundeau is limited, and that's that's being kind. But I

139
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: love the fact that a roa is connected. I totally

140
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: dig the Connecticut broad leaf underneath. There's nothing here that

141
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: would ever keep me shying away. I want to try

142
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: every single bit of this. Now. I know you're not

143
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: gonna be able to smoke with me. Are're gonna be

144
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: able to drink with me? Fingers?

145
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: Yes, yes I am. And unfortunately I do not have

146
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: honey for a hot toddy, so that's out the window.

147
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: But I do have a holiday classic that I will

148
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: be enjoying it in the second hour of the show.

149
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: Is that a Jamoka shak from Arby's.

150
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: No, it's not. But now you've got me door dashing

151
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: as we speak.

152
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: Jamocha shakes. You can't you cannot go wrong. Al Ray

153
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: del Mundo, we're doing the appointment cigar. There is drinking

154
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: to be done, and fingers will hopefully feel better. I

155
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: tell you that some things are not necessary. They're not.

156
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: When I say they're not necessary, it's it's not that

157
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: you might not think them necessary. You may absolutely love it.

158
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is you're wrong. It's totally not necessary.

159
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: It's eat, drink, smoke. I'm Tony Katz. That is America's

160
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: favorite amateur drinker. Fingers molloy and Fingers. They've got there

161
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: at at the news site there that you found all

162
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: about Amazon. It's about Amazon dot Com. Prime Video introduces

163
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: a dedicated news destination for customers. Oh gosh, I thought

164
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: they were I thought they were getting into the news business.

165
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the hell are we doing here?

166
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: Why would they get? Amazon likes to be financially successful, right,

167
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: So who needs getting into who needs getting into the

168
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 2: news business in twenty twenty five? So no, they're gonna

169
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: be like a hub Tony.

170
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: An aggregator.

171
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: Perhaps, yes, they're going to offer several different networks their content. Geez,

172
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 2: you go over a lot of it. BBC News, five, Snooze,

173
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: you know, ABC News, CBS and so obviously it makes

174
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: a lot of sense, right, I mean, you're you're Amazon.

175
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: You don't want people leaving Amazon Prime and to go

176
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: somewhere else to look at their content. You know, if you, oh, geez,

177
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: I want to know what's going on with the news,

178
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: I'll go over to the ABC app. Well, then you

179
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: get sucked into ABC's content. If you can keep all

180
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: that on Amazon Primes app, then it makes good business sense.

181
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: But how I don't know how it works. If you

182
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: are let's say, ABC, which is Disney, why would you

183
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: even let them aggregate your content?

184
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: The only thing I can think of is Amazon paid

185
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 2: them a pretty penny to allow that to happen. I mean,

186
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: Amazon's got deep pockets, right, They're throwing money around everywhere.

187
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's the NFL coverage or you know they

188
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: they they're a major player. So with some of these

189
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: networks that are struggling, why not see the handwriting on

190
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: the wall and let Amazon invest some money to prop

191
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: them up.

192
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: As my mema always said, bezos money is good money.

193
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: Really.

194
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, used to say it all the time, all

195
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: the time. Oh that mema of mine. I miss her

196
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: very much. Meanwhile, if people go to Amazon, probably one thing,

197
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: and that is for gifts and things you don't need,

198
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: and gifts you shouldn't actually buy people because you don't

199
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: like them anyway, You're not kidding.

200
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: You know what I did the other day. So I

201
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: needed to pick up a quick gosh what did I need?

202
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: And I got it at Amazon, and they I was

203
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: three dollars short of getting the free delivery. So you

204
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: bought brand new car socks, picked up some socks that

205
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: you know, who doesn't need more socks. When you're above

206
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: the age of thirty. Below the age of thirty, you

207
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: get socks for Christmas. It's a disappointment. After the age

208
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: of thirty, you're thrilled. I spent seven ninety nine on

209
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: some athletic socks so I can get free delivery. So

210
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: I spent more. Uh, but at least I got some

211
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: socks out of it.

212
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: Do you do you are you of the of the

213
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: of the persuasion where you wear socks around the house.

214
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: You barefoot around the house.

215
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: Oh, socks around the house?

216
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is that because you get cold? Or it's just

217
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: because you know you have very unattractive feet? And who

218
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: needs that?

219
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: I was a foot model in college?

220
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: Is that right?

00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: That is a regift.

311
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: G Yes, that is the fruitcake of gift heat drinks

312
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: smoking is your cigar bourbon food, the extravaganza on Tony Katz.

313
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: And that is an unhealthy fingers maloy suffering from the

314
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: creeping crud, a chest cold that prevents him from enjoying

315
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: a fine cigar fingers How are you right now?

316
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: First of all, evergreen with unhealthy fingers maloy, but it

317
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 2: actually has to do with some sort of virus or

318
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: bacteria or whatever else it could be. But anyway, it's

319
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: in my chest and it's not going away. And you said,

320
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: and rightly, so I understand I gave you a crap

321
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: a little earlier. But who needs someone coming into your

322
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: studio coughing all over the place, right on, all over

323
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: your stuff. So no, I'm fine. The only thing that stinks, though,

324
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: is I'm not able to enjoy this cigar that you are.

325
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: Yes, the lray de mundo, this is the appointment. There's

326
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: actually a little bit of spice that is building up

327
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: on this doing this in the gordo A five by sixty.

328
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely not my ring gauge, Absolutely not my size. Man,

329
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: this is a very very worthwhile bit of cigar. There

330
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: is more heat on this than I expected. It started

331
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: with this caramel and this seedar, and the cedar is

332
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: now getting spicier and that's hitting the like the side

333
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: of the throat. It is smoking beautifully. It is not

334
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: the prettiest cigar, I will not lie. It's not the

335
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: prettiest wrapper at all. But at eight and fifty cents

336
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: a stick, allow me to say, yes, right now, I

337
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: think people are gonna flip over this. I I've got

338
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: another one for you. I'm trying to remember where I

339
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: bought it. I don't one hundred percent remember right now.

340
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: Oh wait, now I do, Now I do. I got

341
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: these here in Indianapolis town called Fishers, at a cigar

342
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: lounge called Cigar Haven is where I got them. Um,

343
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: this is this is gonna make some people's lists. Here's

344
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: there's a there's a nice smoothness going on. That spice

345
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: is built up in it in a very very joyous way.

346
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: It is medium body. Yeah, let me say it again. Yeah,

347
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: this is all right, fingers woint.

348
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: Now forgive me if you you already explained this and

349
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: I just missed it because I'm under the weather, and

350
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,239
Speaker 2: that's what I'm gonna blame everything on if I make

351
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: a mistake last week. Does that come in another vatola?

352
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? So you can get this as a robusto five

353
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: by fifty. You can get this as a toro as well,

354
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: which I think is a six by fifty. I think

355
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: they do it as a fifty four. Yeah, six by

356
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: fifty four, which I would love to see this cigars

357
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: at six by fifty four. I cannot wait to try.

358
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: This is impressive.

359
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: Are you surprised at how much the spice is picking

360
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 2: up on that?

361
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: I am. I am surprised that there is spice on

362
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: it right that. I think that more than anything else,

363
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: I'm surprised there's a level of spice in the slightest

364
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: l Ray del Mundo, Cameroon, A rapper coming out of Honduras, Connecticut.

365
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: Broad leaf there in the binder Ecuadorian and Nicaraguan. Oh,

366
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: it's Ecuadorian in Nicaragua. Wait a second, I know it's

367
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: it's nick Honduran and Nicaraguan in the filler. Is the

368
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: way I have this. Oh, I take that back. That's wrong.

369
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: It's Ecuadorian Nicaraguan. I apologize. Also, I'm a little bit

370
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: surprised by the level of spice here, but it's being

371
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: balanced nice. This is a if the spice continues to

372
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: pick up, the cigar is going to give me an issue.

373
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: But at this stage, right now, there's a lot of

374
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: good happening for eight dollars and fifty cents.

375
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: It's crazy, Yes, it's crazy. That's well, I'm good. I'm

376
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: hoping that it will. You'll continue to enjoy it and

377
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: it won't be off putting as you get into the

378
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: second third and the final third of this.

379
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: You have me to get out. I can get a box.

380
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 2: Well, get through that one first before you decide to

381
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: get a box. But uh, that's that's good. I mean,

382
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: we've we've talked about this for a long time, how

383
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: it's getting harder and harder to find that kind of

384
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: stick under ten dies. So at eight fifty, that's that's

385
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: wonderful to hear.

386
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: I will pick up some toros. I will get some

387
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: toros and see what we could do with that. But

388
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: it's time fingers maloy for news of the week.

389
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 2: So you know, Tony, we have been documenting the problems

390
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 2: over at Spirit Airlines now for quite some time. It

391
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: feels like it's been a couple of years now. They've

392
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 2: transferred Spirit Airlines the Chicago airport gates to American Airlines

393
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 2: for thirty million dollars.

394
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: Does that seem like a lot to you? Thirty mili?

395
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: I wondered if it was enough. Well, but it's only

396
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: according to Reuters, it's only two airport gates to American Airlines,

397
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: So maybe, yeah.

398
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: But it's gate space. Now. Wait, so Spirit O'Hare or

399
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: Spirit Midway, So.

400
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: It's O'Hare International Airport.

401
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so you have two more slots at one of

402
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 1: the busiest airports in the world. Like, okay, you know what,

403
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm totally wrong. I'm thinking of this as Spirits basically

404
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: having a fire sale. They're out of business. They're lucky

405
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: to get anything. This is prime real estate. It's like

406
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: buying a liquor license. I assume that's the way it works.

407
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: Two more spots, how many flights is that per day?

408
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: How many options is that per week, per month? And

409
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: the dollars just you know, generates itself, and especially for

410
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: a place like American because O'Hare I believe is a

411
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: United hub, So this I think gives American some more

412
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: opportunities that way.

413
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe it isn't Midway Southwest.

414
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: Yes, Midway is Midway is all Southwest. It's great, it's

415
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: a fine airport. It's interesting because my first reaction was

416
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars. It's yeah, who is who's giving Spirit

417
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: Airlines thirty million dollars? No? No, no, they in real estate.

418
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is part of of its network optimization. Spirit

419
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 2: determined it no longer needed all four preferential gates at

420
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: Chicago O'Hare International Airport, but it will retain two gates

421
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: while assigning two gates to American Airlines, so Spirit will

422
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 2: still have a footprint at O'Hare, according to Reuters. But

423
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 2: it's interesting because I was looking to fly down to

424
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: Florida Fort Myers and Spirit used to from I was

425
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: looking for a flight from Indianapolis. Used to offer flights

426
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: from Indianapolis directly to Fort Myers, and that no longer exists,

427
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 2: apparently because I looked and I could not find anything

428
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: from Indianapolis to Fort Myers through Spirit.

429
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm not here to bad talk to them, even though

430
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: we did have that bad flight. I'm saying that to

431
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: play to get on a flight, to buy a ticket

432
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: on Spirit Airlines is to play a See. I was

433
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: gonna use an expression, but I think I'll get in

434
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: trouble if I used the expression. I was gonna say,

435
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: it's flight Russian roulette. But you wouldn't go that far, right.

436
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: But the issue is whether or not you're there's gonna

437
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: be a plane, not whether you're gonna get hurt on

438
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: the plane. So and so I was like, I shouldn't

439
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: use that one. So I said it, but you now

440
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: know where I was coming from.

441
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: So my question to you is, you know, I just

442
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 2: mentioned that I was looking to fly to Florida in

443
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 2: December and looking to Spirit and it wasn't there. Without

444
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 2: naming the airline that you are, said you were flying

445
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 2: to Las Vegas for the holidays. Uh, you know the

446
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: flight that we took that we complained about on Spirit

447
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: Airlines was a Las Vegas flight. Yeah, returned. So did

448
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 2: you happen to notice was were there flights available through

449
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines Vegas?

450
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: I did not even check.

451
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 2: And I'm even tapped out on Spirit altogether.

452
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm all oh tacking out as fast as

453
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: I can. Absolutely no. I I ended up taking, against

454
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: my better judgment southwest to Vegas because it was NonStop,

455
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: and to find a NonStop flight these days is impossible.

456
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: It drives me nuts. I'm going with the family, so

457
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right with them. I could be next

458
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: to them. It's it's totally fine. It's it's good, it's

459
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: it's no problem. It's not my first class once. But

460
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: I I have learned to suffer like a common man

461
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: for family.

462
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,199

Speaker 1: tickets that I won't use. It's just gonna be that easy.

471
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: I often question exactly how much it's going to take

472
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: me to retire? What is the money that you need?

487
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: story that you found over there at Yahoo Finance, whereas

488
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: I believe where you get all.

489
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: Your financial news absolutely Yahoo and MySpace.

490
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: Nice. The average American sixty five years of age and

491
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: up earns an annual income of sixty five thousand, four

492
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty eight dollars. So am I to take

493
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: that as that's like a pension kind of pay.

494
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 2: Either that or average out whatever they've saved for retirement.

495
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: You know, whether it's mandatory withdrawals out of their retirement

496
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: account and whatever extra that they plan. That's my guest.

497
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: So according to this which is from the Federal Reserve

498
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: Bank of Saint Louis twenty twenty three, which is the

499
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: latest data, right, a couple of years trailing, does group

500
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: spends out of the sixty five thousand, four hundred and

501
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty thousand, eighty seven yearly four thousand, six

502
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two dollars a month. So another way

503
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: to look at this is that the average retired American

504
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: needs forty six hundred dollars a month to survive. Now,

505
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume that is a single person, not

506
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: a couple, and that according to a survey of consumer finances,

507
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: the average American between the ages of sixty five and

508
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: sixty nine has about two hundred thousand dollars in retirement savings. Okay,

509
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: this is a hard conversation. That is not a lot

510
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: of money. And I don't want to be the person

511
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: who's talking about people who are in this situation and

512
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: go at them. That's not my interest. I'm not doing that.

513
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: That's you you are still working with. If that's what

514
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: you have in the bank. That is a hard one

515
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: to make stretch. Yeah, and people are gonna be like

516
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars because it sounds like money. It's

517
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: it's not two hundred thousand dollars invested. How throwing you

518
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: off what? And the real question is what are you

519
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: spending on between now and then? And I speak as

520
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: a guy who lost everything in the downturn of two

521
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: thousand and eight two nine, twenty ten. I lost everything

522
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: I owned. I had to give up the house that

523
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: we had in Florida. That I mean, that's a house

524
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: I we We've talked about this before. We could have

525
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: still lived in five bedrooms. It had three bass at

526
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: a pool. It was in Tampa, great place, great place.

527
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: Could have raised the kids there, you could have you

528
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: could have come and gone for gone for a dip fingers, fantastic.

529
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: But then we moved to California and we rented out

530
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: the place and everything went to hell and a ham

531
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: basket in that in that downturn. Uh. And we still

532
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I I speak very honestly. We worked it

533
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: out and there was some money owed and we just

534
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: every month, every month, we send a check and take

535
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: care of our debts, right like a lanister. We're taking

536
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: care of our debts since that time and rebuilding my

537
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: entire life, which which I mean were you saw it happened, fingers,

538
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: you saw every bit of it take place. The levels

539
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: to which I don't live above my means is exceptional.

540
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: And I listen, I'm not afraid to spend. You've heard

541
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: me talk about cigars and other things. I don't buy

542
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: the big fancy house I don't have. I don't do

543
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. I don't know what people spend

544
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: their money on, and I don't know how people get

545
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: to a certain age. Listen, bad things happen and you

546
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: fight through it, and what matters is you got through

547
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: the other side. As long as you're through the other

548
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: side and you worked towards that, you can then rebuild

549
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: to some level and be like, you know what, this

550
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: all happened and here I'm at now. But if you

551
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: haven't thought about it and that's not something that's going

552
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: on in your life, what are you doing? I mean,

553
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: that's a long winded way of me getting to this point.

554
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: What the hell are people spending their money on? That

555
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: If at the age of sixty nine, with no necessarily

556
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: damaging things that took place in life, because it can

557
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: happen and nothing bad happens. What were you doing? That's

558
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: the part the boggles of mind.

559
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: Am I being rude? No, We've talked about this a

560
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 2: lot where first of all, when you graduate from high school,

561
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: there is no real financial literacy for American people. There

562
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 2: just is not. They don't give you any kind of

563
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: training on how to even And I know this sounds

564
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 2: totally old man screaming at the cloud, but balance a

565
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 2: check book. Let alone think about retirement because you mentioned

566
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: it early, or time is your best friend, and really

567
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: you can somehow figure out a way to sock away

568
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: a bunch of money in your twenties and just let

569
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 2: time take care of things for you. You won't be

570
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 2: in a situation where you have just two hundred thousand

571
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: dollars in your late sixties for retirement.

572
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: And we're not. And for the record, again, neither one

573
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: of us are financial planners, and neither one of us

574
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: did it right, but we're both we in this conversation

575
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: it is about admitting it like we didn't do it right.

576
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: We both are are you know, if we had known,

577
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: if we had had the advice, if we were smarter,

578
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: and so we both spend a lot of time engaging

579
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: this with our kids. Yeah, in an aggressive way, because

580
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: if we can set them up better, then okay, we

581
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: can break the chain, right, we could break the cycle here.

582
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: And so much of this is psychological. You don't need

583
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: the new thing, you don't need the biggest thing. You

584
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: don't need that thing because somebody else got the thing.

585
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: You have to ask yourself what is it that you're

586
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: trying to do? What is it you're trying to get accomplished?

587
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: And trust me when I say there is something very

588
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: joyful about the first of the month coming. You sit down,

589
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: you pay the bills, usually your old school right the check.

590
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: Now you're just doing everything online. Yeah, and then you're done.

591
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm gonna go have lunch without a care.

592
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: There are no worries here because you decided to live

593
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: right over here. And other people are in debt up

594
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: to their eyeballs and they're house poor, and there's nothing

595
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: worse than being house poor.

596
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 2: How much of this do you think? And you know

597
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: how much I love to blame social media for everything.

598
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: Oh, this is marketing issues. This is going back long

599
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 1: before social media. People want immediate gratification. There's no understanding

600
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: of the of the value of sacrifice.

601
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: I mean, making it worse. The whole idea of keeping

602
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 2: up with the Joneses and seeing all these influencers doing

603
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 2: all these fun things, and you see yourself going to

604
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 2: work every morning, coming back home and feeling guilty about

605
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 2: buying your five dollars coffee, and so you decide, well,

606
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 2: the heck with it, yolo. You know, the young people think, well,

607
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 2: climate change is going to destroy the planet anyway, why

608
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 2: should I worry about retirement? And next thing, you know,

609
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: you have next to nothing for retirement.

610
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: The coffee thing that I've seen from the people I

611
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: work with in radio, the amount of money they spend

612
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: at a Starbucks like place is mine. It's mind boggling

613
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: how this happens, how this works, Why they think that

614
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 1: this is somehow good or smart or valuable. They've never

615
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,440

00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: the croup.

664
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 2: I don't worry. I've I've rubbed a little vixed vapor

665
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: rub underneath my chin, and I've got an onion tied

666
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 2: to my belt to find it. No time.

667
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:39,600

668
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: Tony Katz and that is America's favorite amateur drinker. Fingers wine. Yeah,

669
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: because he's sick, wasn't able to be in studio and

670
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: having a cigar, so separate locations, but bring you the

671
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: same fantastic show. And we both needed something to drink,

672
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, I'm just gonna go back

673
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: to the well. We've actually done this a couple of

674
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: times and I got to finish this up anyway. This

675
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: is my bottle of blue Rub, the high rye coming

676
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: in at one hundred and eleven proof, fingers, will I

677
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: thank you right there. Honestly, I think that blue run

678
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: is just fantastic. I think it's a must have in

679
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: the liquor cabinet. Don't get me wrong. There are less

680
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: expensive bourbon's out there. This one is going to run

681
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: you ninety to one hundred bucks. When I say high rye,

682
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: that's just because of the mash bill. It's a higher

683
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: rye in the mash bill. So this is sixty five

684
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: percent corn, thirty percent rye, five percent malted barley, that's why.

685
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: But it's not a rye. This is a bourbon coming in.

686
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: I just heard that open at one hundred and eleven proof.

687
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: Should I just finish that? I just finished that. I

688
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: just filled that. Ever you, oh, look at that. This

689
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: is our professional pores, ladies and gentlemen.

690
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: They call you the finisher.

691
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: That's swell. I don't mean to brag, but that's it.

692
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: But fingers Willy, I was worried about your health and

693
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know if you were gonna be having a

Speaker 2: Well, you suggested it earlier today, and I had it

697
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 2: in my mind that I was going to have a.

698
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: Hot toddy using the hot toddy.

699
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,280
Speaker 2: Using the recipe that you can get from Let's Go Bourbon,

700
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: Oh our book, Yes, which you could find at Amazon

701
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 2: dot com. I was going to do that, Tony. But

702
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 2: apparently my uh, the the guy that uh he delivers

703
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 2: honey every week.

704
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: Uh stop stop. I don't know if you're joking right now.

705
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, I'm I'm I'm I'm joking. I haven't. I

706
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 2: haven't purchased honey in several decades because honey.

00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: I swear to you all. Laugh. But I could totally

708
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: see Fingers doing that. I could totally see Fingers being

709
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: a guy who has a honey delivery.

710
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 2: I must have my honey delivered right to my front door. No,

711
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 2: I don't have any husband dry, so I don't have

712
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 2: any honey. So there goes the hot toddy right out

713
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 2: the out the window. But you know, Tony, you know

714

739
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: of spice. I think you kind of get tricked into

740
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,720
Speaker 1: thinking that there's oh, just because it feels so very good.

741

Speaker 2: like to call the sagona swish Memphis munch.

752
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: It's actually hitting me a little hotter than I remember.

753
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: And I thought it would be a good mix with

754
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: the cigar excuse me, smooth, but I'm doing the lray

755
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: Domundo the appointment because it had this cedar spice to

756
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: it that was building, but it did cap And I

757
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: thought this would be a nice mix because there was

758
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: a little caramel in the cigar, which is a six bye,

759
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, five by sixty, really big green gauge at Gordo,

760
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: and so I thought it might be a nice mix.

761
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: This is just it's a caramel. There's a little bit

762
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: of the char. You almost get This bourbon has so

763
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: grown on me and I'm and I'm sorry to say

764
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: that I have now officially emptied the bottle. Here there

765
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: there will be another one. There's no way there's a replacement.

766
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: I just think I think it's a winning, winning proposition.

767
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: I think that that palette is great, and I think

768
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: that that finish where the rye finds its spot. But this,

769
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: this caramel sweet, this, this to an extent butterscotchy, which

770
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: I happen to love in a bourbon. I'm surprised that

771
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: I do. But I really think it works more and more.

772
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the older I get smarter, I get whatever

773
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: it is. I think this is tremendous, and even at

774
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: the you know, going back to early COVID days, ninety

775
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: dollars a bottle, I mean, yes, I think it's that good.

776
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: Is the blue run high Rye bourbon. But it's no

777
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: match for Evan Williams egnogn fingers, which I bought, I believe,

778
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: for nine dollars a bottle. So I'm going in right now, right, Well,

779
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: I like the rocks glass, right, I like things with

780
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 1: a good etching. Right, it's got the cross pattern etching

781
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: there and you can't taste it.

782
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 2: Oh no I can't. It's it's nice. I don't know

783

784
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 2: hat fields and the McCoy's. When it comes to white chocolate,

785
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 2: people either love it or they hate it. I'm kind

786
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 2: of fine with it. I'm not bothered by it.

787
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: I have no time to put that in my do

788
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: I like or do I not like thing? It's like

789
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: the pineapple on pizza. People they have a problem and

790
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: they just want to look special. And it's fine. You

00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 2: Yes, unless we're talking about ketchup on a hot Have

00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 2: you said that the white chocolate is there? There's just

795
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 2: a hint of pepperint, you know, the star of the show,

796
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 2: especially as you let the ice melt in. This is

797
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 2: the white chocolate. Now, get's fantastic. It's a great holiday drink.

798
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 2: I have three bottles in the house right now.

Speaker 2: Three bottles because I'll go buy three more.

801
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: Okay, because this this is how you get rid of

802
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: a chess cold.

803
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 2: That's right.

804
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: That's that according to all the scientists at the Fingers

805
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: moy Institute for Institutes of Institutes right there. We have

806
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: a lot to get to. So let's do a follow

807
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: up conversation here about the spending because and this is

808
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: about money, This is about your financial future. Neither fingers

809
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: Molly or I nor I. We are we financial advisors,

810
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: and you should never take financial advice from us, but

811
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: sometimes we engage conversations of what is happening around us.

812
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: You know how they were floating the idea of a

813
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: fifty year mortgage, which is of course an insane idea. Well,

814
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: we're now into the idea of what is it, fingers Moloy,

815
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: seven year eight year car payments?

816
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you already see that, uh seven year?

817
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: Well let me let me explain how to avoid that.

818
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 1: It's Eat Drink smoke. I'm Tony Katz, that is fingers below.

819
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: I find everything we do at Eat Drink smokeshow dot com.

820
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: So it has come to my attention, fingers Moil, that

821
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: I am going to need myself a new vehicle and

822
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to need to buy a car. And I

823
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: said to my self, fingers self, I says, what is

824
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,800
Speaker 1: it that you would like? Now, as I say, fingers Moloy,

825
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: I do mind my p's and q's and mind my dollars,

826
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: and I live a debt free life. I have worked

827
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: very hard at this. I have been through the on this.

828
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: I apologize to no one for it. So the idea

829
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: of having a car payment is making me a little crazy.

830
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: So I said, okay, well here's what i'd kind of

831
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: be interested in. Right, here's the more reach stuff, here's

832
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: the more like stuff that would work for me. And

833
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 1: some things are right out right. I'm just not getting

834

00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:40,680

Speaker 1: No? No, no, no, no, no, I don't I don't

840
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: think so I'm looking and I start looking. I said, okay,

841
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: what about this range? What about these types of cars?

842
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: I do not know when a car of note? Right,

843
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: I didn't say the four door Sadan a car of note.

844
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: So luxury but not super luxury is seventy thousand dollars

845
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: fingers molloy, what the heck by this? I have a

846
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 1: friend in California it's also looking for a vehicle and

847
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 1: was looking at Genesis. Now this is non an attack

848
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: on Genesis. They make a fine car. My brother has one.

849
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 1: I think they make some beautiful stuff. My friends would

850
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 1: have them. It was a smaller suv. Jen's a smaller

851
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: suv is a little over seventy grand. And I said, well,

852
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're gonna put down, but you

853
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: understand we're talking about a payment of one thousand dollars

854
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: plus a month. And he said yeah. And at that

855
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: moment I broke. I went out of my head. One

856
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month car payments.

857
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's very common. I mean, you're looking at

858
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 2: a seventy thousand dollar car. You know, you mentioned the

859
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 2: other day you had friends that were looking at or

860
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 2: just purchased a Hummer. If you don't lease it, those

861
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 2: vehicles are close to one hundred thousand dollars or over.

862
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's where we're at right now, and

863
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,399
Speaker 2: that's why use car prices are so high for people

864
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 2: who want to avoid that thousand dollars car payment. I'm

865
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 2: looking at used cars that are ten years old and

866
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,280
Speaker 2: still seeing fifteen to twenty thousand dollars on the price

867
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 2: tag is just it blows my mind.

868
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: Me too, But that's what I'm doing. I'm gonna get

869
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: a twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen or twenty sixteen pickup. That's

870
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: what I'm getting. I'm gonna get the F one fifty

871
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna get the Silverado. If I can get

872
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: myself a GMC Sierra, I'm gonna I'm gonna do that.

873
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: I would look at some the rams from then or

874
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: like that's like the end of it, because Silantis went

875
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: through I think a bad period there, and I don't

876
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: think the quality is like like it should have been.

877
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing. I looked at everything. It's not

878
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: a question whether I can afford it. Who wants to

879
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: afford that? That's insane, that's psychotic. And there are people

880
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: out there doing that for not for the thing that

881
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: is exceptional, memorable, just for the idea of saying, look

882
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: what I drive? What are you doing?

883
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 2: It's so hard? You know, I drive a Chevy Volt

884
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 2: and I drive thank you. And you know, one of

885
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 2: the gigs I have, I can charge it for free.

886
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 2: So that's why I have it. It's I've got one

887
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty seven thousand miles on it and I'm

888
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 2: still getting a good life out of the battery, right,

889
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 2: you know. And so there's part of me that's just like, Okay,

890
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna run this down into the into the ground,

891
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 2: right three hundred thousand miles. But I understand. You know,

892
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 2: my insurance agency at the end of the year, you know,

893
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 2: they I have an app that will and I hate

894
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 2: that I do this, but for a discounting car insurance,

895
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 2: I've got their app. It told me I was in

896
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 2: my car for a total of almost twenty nine days

897
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 2: with all the driving I've done. So the part of

898
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 2: me is like, I can completely understand why people say

899
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 2: to themselves if I have to spend if you're in

900
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 2: sales or whatever, if you have to spend almost a

901
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 2: month of your life in a car, I can totally

902
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 2: understand why they're saying, well, you know what, I'm going

903
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 2: to get something that is not only comfortable, but something

904
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 2: I love being in, and that may lead you to

905
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 2: one thousand dollars a month for a car payment.

906
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 1: No bad fingers, Absolutely not. I refuse. I am going

907
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: to pay cash, I'm going to make the deal. I'm

908
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: going to walk away, and that's it. Seventy and it's

909
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: not seventy thousand dollars of Portia seventy thousand dollars of

910
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: the other car. Looks basically like this.

911
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 2: That's the other thing too. And and you look at

912
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 2: cars from the fifties.

913
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 1: I moved me up into the late sixties, early seventies,

914
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,760
Speaker 1: but I mean the KK, but THEK even in the seventies,

915
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: the character the cars, all the.

916
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 2: Sedans look alike. Now, you know, there is some creativity

917
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 2: in the pickup trucks with the grills and stuff, and

918
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 2: you know, some look different than the other. But man,

919
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 2: for the most part, these cars all look the same.

920
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 1: There was a moment there where SUVs, every one of

921
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: them was exactly the same because of the cafe standards,

922
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: which I know something you talk about a lot, the

923
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: idea of the fuel efficiency standards. Well, they all required

924
00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: a certain type of look to and how it was

925
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 1: gonna deal with, you know, fuel efficiency. So they all

926
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: ended up basically looking the same. They're all the same.

927
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: I'm not doing any of that crap. No, no, And

928
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: by the way, here I am calling a crap and

929
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,399
Speaker 1: someone's like, hey, I drive one of those pieces of crap.

930
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: How dare you? I get it, I get it, I

931
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: get it, I get it. But even those are like

932
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: forty to sixty grand.

933
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 2: And but what you realize the vehicle that you're choosing

934
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 2: a pickup truck, those values and prices are all inflated.

935
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 2: You're gonna be spending much more on a pickup than

936
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 2: you would if you were going to get yourself a

937
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,240
Speaker 2: sedan or an suv because everybody wants their pickup truck.

938
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: I think everyone wants their suv and the large scale suv.

939
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 1: And I'm not one hundreds cent sure about the pickup.

940
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: But if that's the case, so be it. I think

941
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: the price has been a little bit more expensive, but

942
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: comparatively speaking, I'm getting I'm buying a twelve year old

943
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: truck just so I can stay sane. I don't know what.

944
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what that's it is about the economy.

945
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:05,720
Speaker 2: Look, I drive thirty thousand miles a year on a car.

946
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 2: If I didn't have to drive all that, I would

947
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:13,240
Speaker 2: have a huge pickup truck. Massing twice about it, massive

948
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 2: pickup truck.

949
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:22,720
Speaker 1: The Fingers five thousand eat drink smoking is your cigar

950
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: bourbon footy extravaganza. I'm Tony Katz. That's Fingers Maloy and

951
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,280
Speaker 1: we are well. Fingers is sick. Fingers has the chess

952
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: cold and the crud and whatever else do you associate

953
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: with chess, colds and crud.

954
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 2: It's not pretty. You know, a lesser man would not

955
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 2: be on the air right now. But I am mustling

956
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 2: through for Eat, Drink, smoke Nation.

957
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: You are an amazing, amazing American. So I am in

958
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: charge of the smoking, and we're drinking different things because

959
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: we're not in the same place. This is the al

960
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: Ray del Mundo. This is known as the Appointment. I'm

961
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: doing the Gordo the six, the five by sixty right

962
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: here with that Cameroon rapper, which is done by Christian Aroa,

963
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: and then the Connecticut broadleaf, Ecuadorian and Nicaraguan in the filler.

964
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: This is an absolutely wonderful smoke. It's an absolutely wonderful smoke.

965
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to do this as the tour on

966
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: the six by fifty four. If my local shops don't

967
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: have it, I'm I'm ordering it online. The Cameroon there's

968
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: been almost like a little bit of caramel there. With

969
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: the Ecuadorian broadleaf, there's been a spice it from the cedar.

970
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: It has mellowed into this nice bit of a wood

971
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: and tobacco. It's not the super prettiest of the rappers.

972
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 1: It's much lighter, but at eight dollars and fifty cents

973
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: a stick all day, no question, it's it's it works

974
00:56:56,239 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 1: beautifully for what it is. Wo tile for what it is.

975
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: So you know I'm saying that wrong. Hold on, I

976
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: want to be sorry. It's not what it is. I

977
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: don't think there's any any compromise here. They just did

978
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: something really nice at a price in today's world that

979
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. And I'm all day on this cigar.

980
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 2: So I have to ask you this, if that were

981
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 2: only available in that ring gauge, would you still buy them?

982
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: Ah? Not as many, but I will try. I want

983
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: to try the Toro, the six by fifty four. If

984
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: that gives this flavor, I will buy it. I will

985
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: buy it a box at a time. I am. I

986
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: am impressed with the cigar at the price. I'm out

987
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 1: of my head. This is this might make a list.

988
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Yeah, there's something happening here that. By the way,

989
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: we're very close. We are very just weeks away from

990
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: our Bourbon of THEE and Cigar the Year for twenty

991
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: twenty five. That'll happen the first two weeks in January.

992
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: Fingers my way. I'm very excited.

993
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 2: Now me too. I'm going over the list. It's gonna

994
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 2: be of what we reviewed this year. It's going to

995
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,959
Speaker 2: be difficult to come up with, you know, a top three,

996
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 2: because we've we've had a lot of good pairings this year.

997
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: Yes, and we've also done some flavored cigars which was well,

998
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: it was.

999
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 2: We'll be on a top three list, that's for sure.

1000
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: Probably the bottom. God, we're not nice people some now,

1001
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: but we do love the people who make cigars. And

1002
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: so we're drinking and we weren't in the same place,

1003
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: so we weren't able to review the same thing fingers

1004
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: as the chess cold. So he's doing some Evan Williams

1005
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: white chocolate peperint peppermint eggnog, which we are told by

1006
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: physicians the world over is the only thing to have

1007
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: when you have a chess cold.

1008
00:58:56,360 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 2: It's true. Uh, doctor Oz I believe said that. Not

1009
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 2: the doctor Oz that's famous. It's a doctor Oz I

1010
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 2: know down the street. Having said that, No, this is

1011
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 2: this was less than ten dollars a bottle. It is

1012
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 2: fifteen percent alcohol. That's thirty proof. The Evan Williams Aggnag

1013
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 2: peppermint white chocolate Kentucky Strait bourbon, whiskey, blended whiskey, liquor,

1014
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 2: rama and brandy, all in this little bottle right here

1015
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 2: for less than ten dollars. Like I said earlier, I

1016
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 2: have three bottles of this in my house, and.

1017
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: I decided just to kill my bottle. A blue run

1018
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: high Rye bourbon coming in at one hundred and eleven proof,

1019
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: sixty five percent corn in the mash bill thirty percent Rye,

1020
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 1: five percent multi barley. I didn't add a cube to it.

1021
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: I'm just going to enjoy it. It is. This is,

1022
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, back when I first saw it, early COVID days,

1023
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: ninety dollars a bottle, so probably I would say if

1024
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: you find it over one hundred right now, I'm telling

1025
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: you that's a must. It is an absolute must. In

1026
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: the liquor cabinet. They just do a beautiful job and

1027
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: I do not. There's something a little bit and the

1028
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: end there that's a little sweet caramel butterscotchy, and that

1029
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: butterscotchy thing is working for me lately. It's working for me.

1030
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 1: I have a whole barrel pick coming out that I picked,

1031
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: like I picked the barrel. We're putting it out soon

1032
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: and it's picked because well that butterscotch just knocked me over,

1033
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 1: really really did. I don't know why it's happening these days.

1034
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: So the Blue run Kentucky Strait high rye a bourbon

1035
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: whiskey one hundred and eleven proof. It is a must

1036
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: for the liquor cabinet. But it's time fingers maloy for

1037
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 1: news of the week.

1038
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 2: Well, NPR has the story, Tony. The Federal Reserve lowered

1039
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 2: its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point Wednesday,

1040
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 2: taking cues from an earlier each drink smoke. You know,

1041
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 2: they all the Federal Reserve Board, they listen daturing smoke,

1042
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 2: and they heard me say, I want to refinance my

1043
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 2: mortgage in February, so you need to continue to lower

1044
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 2: interest rates. And they agreed. So they went ahead and

1045
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 2: lowered the interest rate.

1046
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: And just to prove how good it was that they

1047
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: did indeed lower interest rates, let's take a look at

1048
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 1: where the price of silver has been. And oh, yeah,

1049
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: sixty one dollars an ounce. Sorry to me, t y'all.

1050
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he sold his silver at four dollars an ounce.

1051
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,439
Speaker 1: I sold it at fifty one. True story. I sold

1052
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: my silver at fifty one. I did pretty well. Sixty

1053
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: one dollars an ounce. Precious metals are a hedge against inflation,

1054
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: and we're lowering interest rates. Something has got to give

1055
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 1: Fingers Bloy.

1056
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 2: It's all bizarre because you keep hearing the numbers about

1057
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 2: the job market, and they don't want the job market

1058
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 2: to soften any more than it's allegedly softened. But then again,

1059
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 2: you know, prices continue to go up. It's boy, you

1060
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:11,439
Speaker 2: hate using stagflation. I don't want to use that word,

1061
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 2: especially because when you think of stagflation back, you know,

1062
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 2: forty fifty years ago, you were talking interest rates and

1063
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 2: unemployment in double digits and we're not anywhere near that yet,

1064
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 2: not even close. But it's clear that something isn't going

1065
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 2: well right now, and it's just a matter of what's

1066
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 2: going to shake this economy out of a funk. And

1067
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's going to be able to

1068
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 2: with the AI coming on.

1069
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: So but now go you got to go in a

1070
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: different direction. You can't think of it as just the

1071
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: job losses. Right The report from CNBC, the reporting, I

1072
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: should say, from CNBC one point one million jobs lost

1073
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: this year, and a lot of it has to do

1074
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: with AI and people and being replaced by by the

1075
01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence. And you say AI is a problemance costing jobs,

1076
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: and look what it's doing. Think of the trillions of

1077
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 1: dollars of investment that has sent markets through the roof

1078
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: and four oh one k's into happy places. And now

1079
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 1: what do you do. You cannot stop the progress. You can't.

1080
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 1: What's really interesting is all these kids that were told, hey,

1081
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 1: you should learn to code. I've said those words. The

1082
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 1: coding is being replaced now the AI doesn't do it

1083
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: perfectly yet you're still years away from it, but they're

1084
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: being replaced. So now they're like, well, what do I

1085
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: do with these skills that everybody told me we're always

1086
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: going to be in demand. That's a hard one, right,

1087
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: So things are morphing and changing, and you can argue

1088
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:45,919
Speaker 1: there's a pain. You can argue that there are people

1089
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: who are impacted. I won't say no, I'll wholeheartedly agree

1090
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: to this. However, they were impacted. I think we've talked

1091
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: about this. When you got rid of the horse and

1092
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: buggy and went to the automobile, there is always a

1093
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: moment of somewhere there was someone out there copying pamphlets

1094
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: one at a time with their quill and then here

1095
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: became Gutenberg with the press, you know, the printing press,

1096
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 1: and they were like this quill is worthless now. So

1097
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: am I supposed to like to be all angry with

1098
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: the march of progress? Or do I say this is

1099
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: the moment for resilience and you got to rethink and

1100
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 1: figure out where your opportunities are and go get them.

1101
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 2: Well, that's what's gonna be curious, because are we gonna

1102
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,439
Speaker 2: be in some sort of purgatory now where people are

1103
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 2: just looking around and not wanting to spend money because

1104
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 2: they're thinking AI is going to take my job. So

1105
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 2: they're just sitting back and being really conservative.

1106
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:41,439
Speaker 1: I think we're there.

1107
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1108
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: If you take a look at Black Friday sales just

1109
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: real quick, because we got to run it was luxury items,

1110
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 1: less items, but luxury items. They're buying the fancy thing,

1111
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: and that's it. I think we're gonna see spending down.

1112
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: I think people are keeping their powder dry for sure.

1113
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: If you are concerned about AI taking your job, we

1114
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: get it. We were just talking about this. However, there

1115
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: is a list. Because we hear, eat, drink, smoke, we

1116
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: always love a list. There is a list of fast

1117
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: growing entry level careers at low risk of being replaced

1118
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: by AI and number eleven on that list, co host

1119
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 1: of E Drink Smoke. Ouch. No, I'm just saying we're

1120
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 1: both gonna be all right. Oh okay, D Drink Smoke.

01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: Right now, there is a list from a group called

1125
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 1: Resume Now. They've identified, oh, the fast growing entry level jobs.

1126
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 2: What I only listen to resume later?

1127
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: Oh? Smart, This is resume Now. These are jobs unlikely

1128
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: to be replaced by AI, and you'll pay abroughly fifty

1129
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,919
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and above, and they are projected to grow

1130
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: by five percent the average job growth rate or faster

1131
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:22,560

01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: UK and out of France, they do not ship to Europe.

1161
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: I apologize to the United States, You're covered. Sorry Europe.

1162
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: I feel bad. I feel very very bad. Maybe you

Speaker 1: can trade them for baguettes defiancebeef dot com. Go there

1164
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: and go there immediately. Here's the list, fingers Willy. Here

1165
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: is the list of the jobs not being replaced by AI.

1166
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Number one. Oh wait, should I do number twelve first?

1167
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:26,640
Speaker 1: I'll do number twelve first. Number twelve EMTs and paramedics

1168
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: makes sense.

1169
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:31,719
Speaker 2: So unless we have the AMT robots showing up, which

1170
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 2: I'm sure will happen in due time.

1171
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: Maybe that's no scary median salary forty and fifty dollars.

1172
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 1: Then number eleven is solar photovoltaic installers. I don't know

1173
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 1: what that's supposed to mean.

1174
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 2: Oh, that's those are people. You got your regular photo

1175
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 2: alic installers, But then you have the people that are

1176
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 2: are in charge of the solar full of velic installers.

1177
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: You don't know, you don't even know what the word is.

1178
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 2: A photo alicoto, a photo ale tach full of a tack. Yeah. Yeah,

1179
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 2: that's why I get all my information at resume later.

1180
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 1: Heating, air conditioning, refrigeration mechanics. It's true. You're never gonna

1181
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 1: have AI replace the person who's willing to sweat and

1182
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 1: replace the can outside in the month of July. And yes,

1183
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 1: they make money, and they can make a lot of money.

1184
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you it's a situation too when you start

1185
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 2: talking about this stuff. It feels like when it comes

1186
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 2: to any kind of manual labor, when it's either fixing

1187
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 2: something or construction. There's a real demand now, and I

1188
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 2: don't see how any of that's going to be replaced by.

1189
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: An electricians medium salary sixty two thousand dollars a year,

1190
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 1: physical therapist assistant sixty thousand a year. Then we get

1191
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: into some things that it requires some post secondary work,

1192
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 1: surgical assistance and technologists wind turbine technicians. Now, I don't

1193
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: think that's a smart field to go into. Why not,

1194
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: because I think people are gonna look at the wind

1195
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 1: turbine and be like, yeah, we're not doing these anymore.

1196
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see well, I really think it

1197
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 1: depends on elections in the United States I think you're

1198
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: gonna see those things go away. I think that the

1199
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:31,679
Speaker 1: immediate move is, why are we looking at wind, which

1200
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 1: we don't have the technology yet to really make work

1201
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:36,679
Speaker 1: in a way that it can be truly sufficient enough

1202
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 1: for our communities. We should be looking at nuclear. It

1203
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: is nuclear's coming, kittens. We had it, people walked away

1204
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 1: from it. Watch them walk back to it. That's my take. Fingers.

1205
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:53,679
Speaker 2: Then you're saying the only thing that could change this

1206
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 2: are the political wins.

1207
01:10:56,720 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: Look at you, thank you.

1208
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 2: You've just been Dad joked, he's sick and he still

1209
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 2: got it.

1210
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Occupational therapists at number five, radiologic and MRI technologists

1211
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:13,639
Speaker 1: at number four, with a median salary of seventy eight

1212
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 1: thousand dollars.

1213
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 2: Fingers it. Okay, you've got to have the people that

1214
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 2: gets you into these machines.

1215
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: But then.

1216
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 2: Is there going to be the analysis that's done of

1217
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 2: whatever images they take place they take I wonder how

1218
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 2: much of that's going to be taken by AI. Yeah,

1219
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 2: but analysis of the imagery.

1220
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: But I still think it's going to be the doctor

1221
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 1: who announced who does the analysis. AI I think is

1222
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:46,719
Speaker 1: going to get used. But I still think the doctor

1223
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 1: is still going to be the doctor, because I don't

1224
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: think the doctors are going to allow themselves to be

1225
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: replaced by AI just don't see that happening. I think

1226
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some kind of of thing that goes

1227
01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: on that stops that. Respiratory therapistsnumber three with over eighty

1228
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year, diagnostic medical sonographers eighty nine thousand

1229
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: a year, and number one on the list dental hygienist.

1230
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 2: Look at that median salary.

1231
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: Ninety four thousand dollars. Now, the downside is you have

1232
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 1: to look the fingers will Lowy's mouth every day. The

1233
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:26,959
Speaker 1: upside is ninety four thousand dollars.

1234
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,639
Speaker 2: I'm shocked. I had no idea that dental hygienis made

1235
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 2: that much money.

1236
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,559

1237
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,640
Speaker 2: Career shift? Look, I don't know about you, but my

1238
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 2: dentist office, the practice there, I think they're only open

1239
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:43,679
Speaker 2: four days a week. I mean, I think they work

1240
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 2: for the three twelve hour days and then they throw

1241
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 2: in a four hour day, you know, so they're like

1242
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 2: three and a half days a week they're open. That's

1243
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 2: a pretty sweet gig. I don't know about you.

1244
01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 1: I changed dentists recently because I went to Blaze. It

1245
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 1: just didn't work for me. My family goes there, and

1246
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:01,879
Speaker 1: I'm like, this, this is this is a dental farm.

1247
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 1: They're just moving people through left and right. This is nuts.

1248
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 1: So I went to a place that's smaller, and I'm like,

1249
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: I feel like I get better care, like there's a

1250
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 1: real attention shift going on, and and and I love it.

1251
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: But I assume they're making a living too.

1252
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 2: So did you move the whole family over to just

1253
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:22,759
