I you're right, 34 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: it's not flying away, but just a little more I 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: think would do me fine. But it does feel very 36 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: very good in the hand. 37 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: It's not top heavy, bottom heavy, right, So they've got 38 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: that right.

It is absolutely beautiful. Now. I 51 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: don't know much about an ECUADORI and Havana Rosata rapper. 52 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: Is that just another way of saying a habano and 53 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna get some big spice out of this? Not sure, 54 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: Nicaraguin and the binder and the filler, this comes out 55 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: of their Nicaragua factory, so out of s to lee. 56 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: But off the bat, I have flavor. I have a 57 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: nice bit of a very very simple spice going on 58 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: with a bit of wood on the tongue. That's all 59 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: I've got right now. Maybe a more natural sweetness, not 60 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: necessarily a nutty, not necessarily a creamy, just the spice 61 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: and wood with a nice it's a nice blend to 62 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: it off the top. I agree with you, except for 63 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: me that spice is a little bit bolder than what 64 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: you're If I'm understanding you correctly, it is for me. 65 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's punching me in the face, but 66 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: it's definitely hitting me, and not in a bad way. 67 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: I'm really enjoying it. And that wood is definitely there 68 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: as well. 69 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: This is this is a nice, nice so far representation. 70 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 2: Every year they do it and every year I buy it. 71 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: I started with the two just to see where we 72 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: would be with this. I will go back and get 73 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: a box now seven and three quarter. You gotta have time. 74 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 2: This is two hours. This is two hours worth of smoke. 75 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: And I love, love, love the forty eight ring gauge. 76 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: That is a real nice place to be because what 77 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 2: you get is the ratio right, so wrapper to bind during, filler, 78 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 2: more wrapper, more flavor. 79 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: So when you get into those. 80 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 2: Smaller ring gauges, it's one of the reasons we enjoy 81 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: a Lancero so much. You just get this better combination 82 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: of flavors going on. And that is what I love. 83 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: I love that the way that that feels, I love 84 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: the way that that presents. So this is seven three quarters. 85 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: So they call this a Churchill makes sense seventh three 86 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: quarter by forty eight fingers moloin is this in your humidor. 87 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: For twelve dollars a stick stop it.

That's 303 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: the only complaint I've got. But it's smoking beautifully, and 304 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 2: that spice is it's not building. It is just presenting 305 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 2: very very well, a little bit of wood undercurrent. I 306 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: don't want to say creamy, that's really the wrong word 307 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 2: for what I'm experiencing. But if you want something that 308 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 2: kind of feels a tumnal, and. 309 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: This is kind of it. Yeah, I will know. I 310 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: like that. I agree with you about the spice. I 311 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: agree with you about the wood. The only thing I 312 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: would add is there's like kind of a for me, 313 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: a hint of cashew. Okay, I don't think that's crazy, 314 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: all right. I was saying, it's not a cream and 315 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: as there's something else going on, you see it as 316 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: a nuttiness, right, And sometimes there's the idea of the 317 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: flavor of cashew. And then I've talked about before, the 318 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: idea that what you what you have is the you 319 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: know when if you're chewing on it, that almost kind 320 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: of that that texture that sometimes presents and those are 321 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: those can be seen as different things. 322 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 2: It's just the best way I can describe it. But okay, 323 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 2: if you're getting a bit of cashew nutty. 324 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: I could see that it's there. But predominantly the two 325 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: things that I'm experiencing is that spice and the wood. 326 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: By the way, it's been very low maintenance, haven't had 327 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: to touch it up at all. Plumes of smoke, plums. 328 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: This has just been so far a fantastic smoking experience. 329 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 2: It's a very very nice stick, burning a touch on 330 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 2: evenly for me. I'll see what I can do about that. 331 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 2: Twelve dollars a stick, seven and three quarters by forty eight. 332 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: This is find a box if you still can. 333 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 2: This is a limited release, not easy to find, but 334 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 2: is still out there. 335 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: Split a box with a friend, with a couple of friends. 336 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: This is your football cigar. 337 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 2: And I think we've got maybe taken from halftime to halftime, 338 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: right halftime, third quarter starts boom, light this up at 339 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 2: the from the one o'clock game, take into the four 340 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 2: o'clock games, and you'll be all right, especially if you're 341 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 2: watching outside something. 342 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 1: Like that, which you should be watching outside. It's beautiful 343 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: out right now. I don't know about you, but here 344 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: it's beautiful. It's time. Fingers all the way for News 345 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: of the week, Tony. Before I get into the news 346 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: of the week, it's it's a story that is dominating 347 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: the headlines, and yet we haven't really touched upon it 348 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: because the story can change within a few hours of 349 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: the government's shut down. Yeah, on the news of the week, Tony, 350 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: and arrest has been made really quickly. 351 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 2: We have been through so much of this crap it 352 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 2: is as we're talking to you or on one, like 353 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 2: day eight or nine of the shutdown, No one cares. 354 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: No one cares. News isn't talking about it because they 355 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: don't think they can win the political game. No one 356 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: has yet missed a paycheck, so nobody's complaining about that. 357 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: It's the weirdest thing in the world. And the craziest 358 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: part is. 359 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 2: This is all about these These guys can't even like 360 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 2: pass a budget. This is all about a continuing resolution 361 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 2: rite money to keep the gvernment open until November twenty 362 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 2: first they have. 363 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: To do this again. And it's been eight nine days. 364 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: And by the time you're hearing this, if we're into 365 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: two weekville and nobody people are like, wow, did you 366 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: hear that Zach Bryan song? Or oh, that's the. 367 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 2: Whole thing with immigrations and customs enforcement. That's a good story. 368 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,479 Speaker 2: Have you seen the price of gold? Which, holy crap, 369 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 2: you you want to freak out about something? 370 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: Can I totally bogart go ahead? Gold crossed four thousand 371 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: dollars an ounce. I'm here to tell you, uh, pull 372 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: those fillings now. I'm here to tell you that one 373 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: should not be excited by such things. Why does gold 374 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: go up. Gold is a hedge against inflation. Gold is 375 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: a hedge against market issues. The stock market is climbing, 376 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: gold is climbing. I'm sorry these two things cannot exist 377 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: in the same space. I am. 378 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 2: I am super concerned about what I'm seeing, also going 379 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 2: to the jeweler tomorrow and selling it all there. 380 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: It is. Well, the other thing that's going to be 381 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: interesting isn't there going to be a decision soon on 382 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: interest rates, whether they're going to make another interest rate 383 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: cut and how will this all have an impact on 384 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: that decision. 385 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 2: I don't know if they can make that decision while 386 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 2: the government shut down because it was supposed to be 387 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 2: on the what was Friday the third, On October third, 388 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 2: they were supposed to release the labor numbers right bure 389 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 2: of Labor Statistics. They released the labor numbers, and the 390 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,239 Speaker 2: government shutdown, so they didn't release the labor numbers, so 391 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 2: we don't really kind of know. Now the labor numbers 392 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 2: aren't perfect, and the whole formula is totally our cane 393 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 2: and ridiculous. It's embarrassing the way we figure out labor numbers. 394 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 2: We're using a formula from eighteen oh two. It's not 395 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,719 Speaker 2: really that old, but it's still pretty old. We need 396 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 2: a better formula that considers a lot more factors. We 397 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 2: have more data day, more access to data, so we 398 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 2: don't actually have that number. I don't know if we're 399 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 2: now affected in the Federal Reserve, which is its own 400 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 2: independent body in that regard by the shutdown or not. 401 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: But you're right, we were supposed to get two more 402 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 2: cuts this year, probably of a quarter point quarter point, 403 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: could be quarter point half point, that would get you 404 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 2: to a full one point reduction over the course of 405 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: the year. I assume it'll be quarter quarter and be 406 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 2: three quarters of a point. But the gold prices going up, 407 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 2: say that the inflation is still here and there's a 408 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 2: worry about it. You can't be cutting rates as a 409 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 2: matter of just sheer economics, not where you may want 410 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 2: things to be. I want lower interest rates. It doesn't 411 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 2: make any sense from a layman's perspective. It doesn't make 412 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 2: any sense. Ahole thing's crazy. 413 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: We're going to bring back a term from the seventies, stagflation, don't. 414 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: You're talking about possibly unemployment rising, the numbers rising, and 415 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: inflation continuing to rise. It's something that's not easy to fix. 416 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: With this the Japanese. Yeah, the Japanese were eating our lunch, right. 417 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: That was the big conversation in the mid eighties, right, 418 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: think of the rise of Sony and all these other things, 419 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: and all the manufacturing they were doing, all the vhs 420 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,719 Speaker 1: and Beta max players. They were making your discmand as 421 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: ask your gen X grandparents if you will. By the way, 422 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: there are gen X grandparents out there, that's how old 423 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: you are, Fingers molloy. The Japanese then invested crazy in infrastructure, 424 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: crazy in infrastructure. The problem with infrastructure is that doesn't 425 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: necessarily bring a return. And so what happened is there 426 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: was all this spending, but there were there wasn't this 427 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: this this movement, and because of that, they took this 428 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: economic boom and it turned into like a decade plus 429 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: of stagflation where nothing was moving. It was brutal. They 430 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: really have just. 431 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 2: Started engaging in a recovery to the extend to recovery 432 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 2: maybe six years ago. 433 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: Things moving in the right direction. So you're bringing up 434 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: you're bringing up one of the worst options, but not 435 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: necessarily the worst option. I would make the assumption that 436 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: economists would say, oh, it could get even worse than that. Stagflation. 437 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: It's not fun, it's not going to be it's not 438 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: good for business, and it's not good for consumers. But 439 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: you bring up an interesting point about the lack of 440 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: attention to this government shutdown by major media outlets. Well, 441 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm right about that, right yeah. And the other thing too, 442 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: is it makes you wonder. You know, before all this happened, 443 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: there was almost a feeling of terror in Washington, d C. 444 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: If the government shutdowns, like oh my god. Yeah. And 445 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: now if we're talking about a government shutdown now to 446 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: try to get a continuing resolution passed to get us 447 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: to November for another possible government shutdown, people I think 448 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: are just going to completely tune out until you see 449 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: checks not starting to hit the mailboxes or the direct 450 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: deposits not going into the counts. And I got to 451 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: tell you, I know there are plenty of all different 452 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: kinds of people that listen to eat drinks smoke and 453 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: are part of eat drink, smoke nation, and I don't 454 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 1: want them impacted or hurt at all. But there's this 455 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,479 Speaker 1: conversation about back pay. Well, if we miss a paycheck 456 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: and we get the government back home, we'll just pay 457 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: them what we owe from the week before. I have 458 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: a real issue with that, and I'm not trying to 459 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: be heartless. I'm asking, well, then, what actually is the 460 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: damage of a shutdown? Let's see if we get into it, 461 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: fingers Maloy. There are bad headlines, and then there are 462 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: awful headlines, and then there are horrific headlines, and then 463 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: there's this. I'm listening to Eat Drink Smoke. I'm Tony 464 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: Katz and that is America's favorite amateur drinker, fingers maloy. 465 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: I find everything we do at Eat drinksmokeshow dot com. 466 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: That's not the headline. That one's great. It very very, 467 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: very world class. Here is the headline. Ladies and gentlemen, 468 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: your toilet doom scrolling might be giving you hemorrhoids. Film 469 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: at eleven. Oh you know you don't want that film. 470 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: I didn't know we were on OnlyFans, no one. No 471 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: one told me, And here I am wearing clothing. 472 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 2: First things, First, we can all agree doom scrolling is destructive. 473 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Go read a book. It's terrible. It is terrible, 474 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: and I avoid it for several minutes a day. 475 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 2: It's so this whole idea of addictive right, is it 476 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 2: addictive because it's mindless, or is it addictive because it's 477 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 2: like a crackhead trying to get the hit. You know what, 478 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 2: The next one is gonna be the one that works. 479 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 2: The next video will be the one that's great. 480 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: It's both. But then also it's this weird thing where 481 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: people are on their phones, and for most people, you 482 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: would think getting on your phone is some sort of 483 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: an escape from whatever you're You're trying to avoid something 484 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: or nothing's on TV. I've got to pass the time. 485 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: I'm escaping from what's going on in my life right now. 486 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: And then they're going through their phone and just making 487 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: everything worse. Right, So basically you think doom doom scrolling 488 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: is like the Pinia Kalada song, Oh see, I would 489 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: have gone with something by train.
