1
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: So it's one of those times where Fingers molloy and

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: I we're not we're not drinking the same thing.

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: It's because Fingers MOLOI has near death chest cold. Isn't

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: that right, Fingers, I have the croup.

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that's what you have. I don't think

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: you actually have the croup. Fingers wore the croup.

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 3: I don't worry. I've I've I've rubbed a little vixed

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 3: vapor rub underneath my chin, and I've got an onion

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 3: tied to my belt to find it. No time.

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: You you are a medical marvels.

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: He drinks smoke.

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm Tony Katz and that is America's favorite amateur drinker,

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Fingers wine. And yeah, because he's sick, wasn't able to

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: be in studio and having a cigar, so separate locations,

15
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: but bring you the same fantastic show.

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: And we both needed something to drink. And I said,

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: you know, I'm just gonna go back to the well.

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: We've actually done this a couple of times and I

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: got to finish this up anyway. This is my bottle

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: of blue Run the high Rye, coming in at one

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven proof.

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: Fingers Willy, Thank you right there.

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: Honestly, I think that blue run is just fantastic.

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: I think it's a must have in the liquor cabinet.

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong.

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: There are less expensive bourbon's out there. This one is

27
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: going to run you ninety to one hundred bucks. When

28
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: I say high rye, that's just because of the mash bill.

29
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: It's a higher rye in the mash bill.

30
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: So this is sixty five percent corn, thirty percent rye,

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: five percent malted barley, that's why. But it's not a rye.

32
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: This is a bourbon coming in. I just heard that

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: open at one hundred and eleven proof? Should I just

34
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: finish that? I just finished that. I just filled that.

35
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: Ever you, oh, look at that. This is our professional pores,

36
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen.

37
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: They call you the finisher.

38
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: That's swell. I don't mean to brag, but that's it.

39
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: But fingers Willy, I was worried about your health and

40
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know if you were gonna be having a

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: beverage a cocktail.

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: What do you what are you gonna be drinking today?

43
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: Well, you suggested it earlier today, and I had it

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: in my mind that I was going to have a

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: hot toddy using the hot toddy using the recipe that

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: you can get from Let's Go Bourbon oh our book, Yes,

47
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: which you could find at Amazon dot com. I was

48
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 3: going to do that, Tony, but apparently my uh, the

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: guy that uh he delivers honey every week.

50
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: Uh stop stop. I don't know if you're joking right now.

51
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: Ah yeah, I'm I'm I'm I'm joking. I haven't. I

52
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: haven't purchased honey in several decades because honey.

53
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: Guy, I swear to you all laugh.

54
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: But I could totally see Fingers doing that. I could

55
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: totally see Fingers being a guy who has a honey delivery.

56
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: I must have my honey delivered right to my front door. No,

57
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: I don't have any husband drink, so I don't have

58
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: any honey. So there goes the hot toddy right out

59
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: the out the window. But you know, Tony, you know

60
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: how much I enjoy the term comfort food.

61
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: Do I?

62
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just wonderful and it's not overused at all.

63
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: I actually do buy into comfort drinks, however, right and

64
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 3: what's really comforting for me for the holidays is a

65
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: good eggnog, And so I have I'm drinking right now,

66
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: Evan Williams has I don't think I've ever seen this

67
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: before until this year. Peppermint white chocolate eggnog.

68
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: So you're not drinking eggnog, You're drinking special eggnog.

69
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: That's right, Evan, Grandma's secret formula.

70
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: Eggnog, Grandma Evan Williams eggnog, peppermint white chocolate. It is

71
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: made with Kentucky straight bourbon, whiskey, uh, blended whiskey, liquor

72
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: rum and brandy coming in Tony's thirty proof. There no

73
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: dirty proof, no.

74
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: I By the way, I can't imagine that, you know. Uh,

75
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: dairy based drinks are what you're supposed to have with

76
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: a chest cold.

77
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 3: See why you gotta do that? Why you gotta do that?

78
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 2: Just what I noticed. That's all. That's all.

79
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: By the way, there's brandy in it, though, God, it

80
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: is freaking delicious.

81
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: This nose then, Oh, does your nose go like brandy?

82
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: I know, I can't. I can't smell anything anything.

83
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: This is nuts.

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: The the the the nose on this blue run high

85
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: Rye bourbon. It's just it's beautiful. It is this right

86
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: amount of caramel. There's a little bit of spice, I

87
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: think you kind of get tricked into thinking that there's oh,

88
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: just because it feels so very good.

89
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 3: What about ethanol, Tony, I mean you're talking one hundred

90
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: and twenty proof.

91
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: Hold on, watch me go in one hundred and eleven proof.

92
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: Watch me go in here.

93
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: Watch Wow.

94
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fine. It's just so. So I'm going in fingers. Well,

95
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: I have no time for you. I'm going first. I've

96
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: been waiting for this all day.

97
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 3: There you go. So he's enjoying the well, look at you.

98
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: Look at how happy he is. He's doing what we

99
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: like to call the sagona swish Memphis munch.

100
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: It's actually hitting me a little hotter than I remember.

101
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: And I thought it would be a good mix with

102
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: the cigar excuse me, smooth, but I'm doing the lray

103
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: Domundo the appointment because it had this cedar spice to

104
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: it that was building, but it did cap And I

105
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: thought this would be a nice mix because there was

106
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 1: a little caramel in the cigar, which is a six

107
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: a bye, I'm sorry, five by sixty, really big green

108
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: gauge at Gordo, and so I thought it might be

109
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: a nice mix. This is just it's a caramel there's

110
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of of of the char you almost

111
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: get it.

112
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: This bourbon has so grown on me.

113
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: And and I'm and I'm sorry to say that I

114
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: have now officially emptied the bottle here. Uh there there

115
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 1: will be another one. There's no worry, there's a replacement.

116
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: I just think I think it's a winning, winning proposition.

117
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: I think that that palette is great, and I think

118
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: that that finish where the rye finds its spot. But this,

119
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: this caramel sweet, this this to an extent butterscotchy, which

120
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: I happen to love in a bourbon. I'm surprised that

121
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: I do, But I really think it works more and more.

122
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the older I get smarter, I get.

123
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: Whatever it is.

124
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: I I think this is tremendous and even at the

125
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 1: you know, going back to early COVID day ninety dollars

126
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: a bottle, I mean, yes, I think it's that good.

127
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: Is the blue run high righty bourbon. But it's no

128
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: match for Evan Williams egnogn Fingers, which I bought, I believe,

129
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: for nine dollars a bottle. So I'm going in right now,

130
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: right Well, I like the rocks glass, right, I like

131
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: things with a good etching, right, it's got the.

132
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: Cross pattern etching there. And you can't taste it.

133
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: Oh no, I can't. It's it's it's nice. I don't

Speaker 3: the hat Fields and the McCoy's. When it comes to

136
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: white chocolate. People either love it or they hate it.

137
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: I'm kind of fine with it. I'm not bothered by it.

138
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: I have no time to put that in my do

157
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: let's do a follow up.

158
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: Conversation here about the spending because and this is about money,

159
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: this is about your financial future.

160
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: Neither Fingers Molly or I nor I.

161
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: We are we financial advisors, and you should never take

162
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: financial advice from us, but sometimes we engage conversations of

163
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: what is happening around us. You know how they were

164
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: floating the idea of a fifty year mortgage, which is

165
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: of course an insane idea. Well, we're now into the

166
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: idea of what is it, Fingers Moloy, seven year eight

167
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: year car payments?

168
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you already see that, uh seven year.

169
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: Well, let me let me explain how to avoid that.

170
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: It's Eat Drink Smoke. I'm Tony Katz, that is fingers below.

171
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: I find everything we do at Eat Drink smokeshow dot com.

172
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: So it has come to my to my attention, fingers Moil,

173
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: that I am going to need myself a new vehicle,

174
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: and I'm going to need.

175
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: To buy a car.

176
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: And I said to my self, Fingers self, I says,

177
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: what is it that you would like? Now as I say, fingers, moloy,

178
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: I do mind my p's and q's and mind my dollars,

179
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: and I live a debt free life. I have worked

180
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: very hard at this. I have been through the ringer

181
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: on this. I apologize to no one for it. So

182
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: the idea of having a car payment is making me

183
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: a little crazy.

184
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: So I said, okay, well, here's what i'd kind of

185
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 2: be interested in.

186
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: Right, here's the more reach stuff, here's the more like

187
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: stuff that would work for me.

188
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: And some things are right out right.

189
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm just not getting something that would I would call

190
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: what what's the word I'm looking for? Fingers basic pedestrian.

191
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I am not getting a four door Sinan.

192
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: I have nothing against four door Sinnanz. I'm not doing that.

193
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: Are you getting a sports car?

194
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: No? No, no, no, no no, I don't I don't think.

195
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: So I'm looking and I start looking. I said, okay,

196
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: what about this range? What about these types of cars?

197
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: I do not know when a car of note, right,

198
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: I didn't say the four door Sedan a car of note,

199
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: so luxury but not super luxury, is seventy thousand dollars.

200
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: Fingers molloy, What the heck by this?

201
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: I have a friend in California it's also looking for

202
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: a vehicle and was looking at Genesis. Now, this is

203
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: non an attack on Genesis. They make a fine car.

204
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: My brother has one. I think they make some beautiful stuff.

205
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: My friends would have them. It was a smaller suv.

206
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: Jen's.

207
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: A smaller suv is a little over seventy grand. And

208
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: I said, well, I don't know what you're gonna put down,

209
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: but you understand we're talking about a payment of one

210
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: thousand dollars plus a month.

211
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: And he said yeah. And at that moment I broke.

212
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: I went out of my head.

213
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: One thousand dollars a month car payments.

214
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's very common. I mean you're looking at

215
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 3: a seventy thousand dollar car. You know, you mentioned the

216
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 3: other day you had friends that were looking at or

217
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 3: just purchased a Hummer. If you don't lease it, those

218
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: vehicles are close to one hundred thousand dollars or over.

219
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's where we're at right now, and

220
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: that's why use car prices are so high for people

221
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: who want to avoid that thousand dollars car payment. I'm

222
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: looking at used cars that are ten years old and

223
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 3: still seeing fifteen to twenty thousand dollars on the price

224
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: tag is just it blows my mind.

225
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: Me too. But that's what I'm doing.

226
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen or twenty

227
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: sixteen pickup. That's what I'm getting. I'm gonna get the

228
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: F one fifty, or I'm gonna get the Silverado. If

229
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: I can get myself a GMC Sierra, I'm gonna. I'm

230
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: gonna do that. I would look at some the rams

231
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: from then or like that's like the end of it,

232
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: because Silantis went through I think a bad period there

233
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: and I don't think the qual is there like like

234
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: it should have been.

235
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: That's what I'm doing. I looked at everything. It's not

236
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: a question whether I can afford it. Who wants to

237
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: afford that?

238
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 4: That's insane, that's psychotic, And there are people out there

239
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 4: doing that for not for the thing that is exceptional, memorable,

240
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 4: just for the idea of saying, look what I drive?

241
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: What are you doing?

242
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: It's so hard, you know, I I drive a Chevy

243
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: Volt and I drive thank you, and you know, one

244
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: of the gigs I have, I can charge it for free.

245
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: So that's why I have it. It's I've got one

246
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty seven thousand miles on it and I'm

247
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 3: still getting a good life out of the battery, right,

248
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: you know.

249
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 2: And so.

250
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: There's part of me that's just like, Okay, I'm gonna

251
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 3: run this down into the ground, right, three hundred thousand miles.

252
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 3: But I understand. You know, my insurance agency at the

253
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 3: end of the year, you know, they I have an

254
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: app that will and I hate that I do this,

255
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: but for a discounting car insurance, I've got their app.

256
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 3: It told me I was in my car for a

257
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 3: total of almost twenty nine days with all the driving

258
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 3: I've done. So the part of me is like, I

259
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: can completely understand why people say to themselves if I

260
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: have to spend if you're in sales or whatever, if

261
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 3: you have to spend almost a month of your life

262
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 3: in a car, I can totally understand why they're saying, well,

263
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm going to get something that is

264
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: not only comfortable, but something I love being in and

265
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: that may lead you to one thousand dollars a month

266
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: for a car payment.

267
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: No bad fingers, Absolutely not.

268
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: I refuse.

269
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: I am going to pay cash. I'm going to make

270
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: the deal. I'm going to walk away. And that's it.

271
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: Seventy and it's not seventy thousand dollars of Portia R

272
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: seventy thousand dollars of the other car looks basically like this.

273
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: That's the other thing too.

274
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: And and.

275
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,479
Speaker 3: You look at cars from the fifties.

276
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: I moved me up into the late sixties, early seventies,

277
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: but I mean the KK, but THEK even in the seventies,

278
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: the character the cars, all the.

279
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: Sedans look alike. Now, uh, you know, there is some

280
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: creativity in the pickup trucks with the grills and stuff,

281
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 3: and you know, some look different than the other. But man,

282
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: for the most part, these cars all look the same.

283
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: There was a moment there where SUVs, every one of

284
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: them was exactly the same. Because of the cafe standards,

285
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: which I know something you talk about a lot, the

286
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: idea of the fuel efficiency standards. Well, they all required

287
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: a certain type of look to the the wind and

288
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: how it was gonna deal with you know, fuel efficiency.

289
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: So they all ended up basically looking the same. They're

290
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: all the same.

291
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: I'm not doing any of that crap, No, no, And

292
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: by the way here, I am calling a crap and

293
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: someone's like, hey, I drive one of those pieces of crap,

294
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: how dare you?

295
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: I get it? I get it, I get it, I

296
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: get it. But even those are like forty to sixty grand.

297
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 3: And but what you realize the vehicle that you're choosing

298
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 3: a pickup truck, those values and prices are all inflated.

299
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: You're gonna be spending much more on a pickup than

300
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: you would if you were going to get yourself a

301
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 3: sedan or an suv, because everybody wants their pickup truck.

302
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: I think everyone wants their suv and the large scale suv.

303
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm not one hundreds cent sure about the pickup, but

304
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: if that's the case, so be it. I think the

305
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: price has been a little bit more expensive, but comparatively speaking,

306
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm getting I'm buying a twelve year old truck just

307
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: so I can stay sane.

308
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, well, I don't know what that says

309
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: about the economy.

310
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 3: Look, I drive thirty thousand miles a year on a car.

311
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 3: If I didn't have to drive all that, I would

312
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 3: have a huge pickup truck. Massing twice about it, massive

313
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: pickup truck.

318
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: and whatever else you associate with chess colds and crud.

319
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 3: It's not pretty. You know, a lesser man would not

320
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: be on the air right now. But I am mustling

321
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,000

323
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: charge of smoking, and we're drinking different things because we're

324
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: not in the same place. This is the al Ray

325
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: del Mundo. This is known as the Appointment. I'm doing

326
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: the Gordo the six, the five by sixty right here

327
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: with that Cameroon Rapper, which is done by Christian Aroa,

328
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: and then the Connecticut Broadleaf Ecuadorian and Nicaraguan in the filler.

329
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: This is an absolutely wonderful smoke. It's an absolutely wonderful smoke.

330
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to do this as the tour on

331
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: the six by fifty four.

332
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: If my local shops don't have it, I'm I'm ordering

333
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: it online.

334
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: The Cameroon, there's been almost like a little bit of

335
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 1: caramel there with the Ecuadorian broadleaf. There's been a spice

336
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: it from the cedar. It has mellowed into this nice

337
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: bit of a wood and tobacco. It's not the super

338
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: prettiest of the rappers. It's it's it's much lighter. But

339
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: at eight dollars and fifty cents a stick, all day,

340
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: no question, it's it's it works beautifully for what it is,

341
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: beautifully for what it is. So you know I'm saying

342
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: that wrong. Hold on, I want to be sorry. It's

343
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: not what it is. I don't think there's any any

344
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: compromise here. They just did something really nice at a

345
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 1: price in today's world that is unbelievable.

346
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: And I'm all day on this cigar.

347
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: So I have to ask you this, if that were

348
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 3: only available in that ring gauge, would you still buy them?

349
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 2: Ah?

350
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: Not as many, but I will try. I want to

351
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: try the Toro, the six by fifty four. If that

352
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: gives this flavor, I will buy it. I will buy

353
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: it a box at a time. I am.

354
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 2: I am impressed with the cigar at the price. I'm

355
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 2: out of my head. This is this might make a list.

356
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Yeah, there's something happening here that By the way,

357
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: we're very close. We are very just weeks away from

358
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: our Bourbon of the Year and Cigar of the Year

359
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty five. That'll happen the first two weeks

360
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: in January.

361
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: Fingers my way. I'm very excited.

362
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 3: Now, me too. I'm going over the list. It's gonna

363
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: be of what we reviewed this year. It's gonna be

364
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 3: difficult to come up with, you know, a top three,

365
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 3: because we've we've had a lot of good pairings this year.

366
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: Yes, and we've also done some flavored cigars, which was

367
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: well it was.

368
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: We'll be on a top three list, that's for sure.

369
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 2: Probably the bottom.

370
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: God, we're not nice people some now, but we do

371
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: love the people who make cigars, and so we're drinking,

372
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: and we weren't in the same place, so we weren't

373
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: able to review the same thing Fingers as the chess cold.

374
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: So he's doing some Evan Williams white chocolate pepin peppermint eggnog,

375
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: which we are told by physicians the world over is

376
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: the only thing to have when you have a chess cold.

377
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 3: It's true doctor Oz, I believe said that. Not the

378
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 3: doctor Oz that's famous it's a doctor oz, I know

379
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 3: down the street. Having said that, No, this is. This

380
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: was less than ten dollars a bottle. It is fifteen

381
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 3: percent alcohol, that's thirty proof. The Evan Williams eggnog, peppermint,

382
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 3: white chocolate, Kentucky Strait, bourbon, whiskey, blended whiskey, liquor, rama

383
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 3: and brandy, all in this little bottle right here, for

384
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 3: less than ten dollars. Like I said earlier, I have

385
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 3: three bottles of this in my house, and.

386
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: I decided just to kill my bottle.

387
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: A blue run high Rye bourbon coming in at one

388
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven proof, sixty five percent corn in the

389
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: mash bill thirty percent rye, five percent multi barley. I

390
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: didn't add a cube to it. I'm just going to

391
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: enjoy it.

392
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: It is this is, you know, back.

393
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: When I first saw it, early COVID days, ninety dollars

394
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: a bottle, so probably I would say if you find

395
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: it over one hundred right now, I'm telling you that's

396
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: a must. It is an absolute must. In the liquor cabinet.

397
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: They just do a beautiful job, and I do not.

398
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: There's something a little bit and the end there that's

399
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: a little sweet caramel butterscotchy, and that butterscotchy thing is.

400
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: Working for me lately. It's working for me.

401
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: I have a whole barrel pick coming out that I picked,

402
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: like I picked the barrel. We're putting it out soon

403
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: and it's picked because well, that butterscotch just knocked me over,

404
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: really really did. I don't know why it's happening these days.

405
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: So the blue Run Kentucky Strait high Rye Bourbon whiskey

406
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and eleven proof. It is a must for

407
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: the liquor cabinet.

408
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: But it's time fingers maloy for News of the week.

409
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 3: Well, NPR has the story, Tony. The Federal Reserve lowered

410
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point Wednesday,

411
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: taking cues from an earlier each drink smoke. You know,

412
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 3: they all the Federal Board, they listened to eating smoke,

413
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: and they heard me say, I want to refinance my

414
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 3: mortgage in February, so you need to continue to lower

415
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 3: interest rates. And they agreed. So they went ahead and

416
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 3: lowered the interest rate.

417
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: And just to prove how good it was that they

418
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 1: did indeed lower interest rates, let's take a look at

419
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: where the price of silver has been and oh, yeah,

420
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,959
Speaker 1: sixty one dollars an ounce.

421
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 3: Sorry to me, t YEA, I did yeah, because he

422
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 3: sold his silver at four dollars an ounce.

423
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: I sold it at fifty one. True story. I sold

424
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: my silver at fifty one.

425
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: I did pretty well, sixty one dollars an ounce. Precious

426
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 2: metals are.

427
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: A hedge against inflation, and we're lowering interest rates. Something

428
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: has got to give Fingers Bloy.

429
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 3: It's all bizarre because you keep hearing the numbers about

430
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 3: the job market, and they don't want the job market

431
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 3: to soften anymore than it's allegedly softened. But then again,

432
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: you know, prices continue to go up. It's boy, you

433
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 3: hate using stagflation. I don't want to use that word,

434
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 3: especially because when you think of stagflation back, you know,

435
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 3: forty fifty years ago, you were talking interest rates and

436
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 3: unemployment are in double digits, and we're not anywhere near

437
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 3: that yet, not even close. But it's clear that something

438
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 3: isn't going well right now, and it's just a matter

439
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: of what's going to shake this economy out of a funk.

440
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: And I don't know if it's going to be able

441
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: to with the AI coming on.

442
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: So but now go.

443
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: You got to go in a different direction. You can't

444
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: think of it as just the job losses. Right, the

445
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: report from CNBC, the reporting, i should say from CNBC

446
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: one point one million jobs lost this year and a

447
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: lot of it has to do with AI and people

448
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,959
Speaker 1: and being replaced by by the artificial intelligence. And you

449
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: say AI is a pro elements costing jobs and look

450
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: what it's doing. Think of the trillions of dollars of

451
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: investment that has sent markets through the roof and four

452
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: oh one k's into happy places. And now what do

453
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: you do? You cannot stop the progress.

454
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: You can't. What's really interesting is all these kids that

455
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: were told, hey, you should learn to code. I've said

456
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 2: those words.

457
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: The coding is being replaced now the AI doesn't do

458
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: it perfectly yet you're still years away from it, but

459
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: they're being replaced. So now they're like, well what do

460
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: I do with these skills that everybody told me we're

461
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: always going to be in demand.

462
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 2: That's a hard one, right.

463
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: So things are morphing and changing, and you can argue

464
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: there's a pain.

465
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: You can argue that there are people who are impacted.

466
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: I won't say no, I'll wholeheartedly agree to this however,

467
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: they were impacted. I think we've talked about this when

468
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: you got rid of the horse and buggy and went

469
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: to the automobile.

470
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: There is always a moment of it. Somewhere.

471
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: There was someone out there copying pamphlets one at a

472
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: time with their quill, and then here became Gutenberg with

473
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: the press, you know, the printing press, and.

474
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: They were like, this quill is worthless now.

475
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: So I am I supposed to like to be all

476
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: angry with the march of progress? Or do I say

477
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: this is the moment for resilience and you got to

478
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: rethink and figure out where your opportunities are and go

479
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: get them.

480
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: Well, that's what's gonna be curious, because are we gonna

481
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: be in some sort of purgatory now where people are

482
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 3: just looking around and not wanting to spend money because

483
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 3: they're thinking AI is going to take my job, so

484
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 3: they're just sitting back and being really conservative.

485
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: I think we're there.

486
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

487
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: If you take a look at Black Friday sales just

488
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: real quick, because we got to run, it was luxury items,

489
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: less items, but luxury items. They're buying the fancy thing

490
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: and that's it. I think we're gonna see spending down.

491
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: I think people are keeping their powder dry for sure.

492
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: If you are concerned about AI taking your job, we

493
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 2: get it. We were just talking about this.

494
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: However, there is a list, because we hear Eat Drink Smoke.

495
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: We always love a list.

496

Speaker 1: There is a list of fast growing entry level careers

497

00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: How thick? How about those ribbis? Oh you're gonna get this.

535
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,440

549
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: Number one. Oh wait, should I do number twelve first?

550
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: I'll do number twelve first.

551
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: Number twelve EMTs and paramedics makes sense.

552
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: So unless we have the AMT robots showing up, which

553
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 3: I'm sure will happen in due time.

554
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: Maybe that's no scary median salary forty and fifty dollars um.

555
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: Then number eleven is solar photovoltaic installers.

556
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what that's supposed to mean.

557
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 3: Oh, that's those are people. You got your regular photo

558
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 3: alic installers, but then you have the people that are

559
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 3: are in charge of the solar full of velic installers.

560
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: You don't know, you don't even know what the word is.

561
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 3: A photo alicoto, a photo all tach full of a tack. Yeah. Yeah,

562
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 3: that's why I get all my information at resume later.

563
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: Heating, air conditioning, refrigeration mechanics. It's true, you're never gonna

564
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: have AI replace the person who's willing to sweat and

565
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: replace the can outside in the month of July. And yes,

566
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: they make money, and they can make a lot of money.

567
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you it's it's a situation too when you

568
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: start talking about this stuff. It feels like when it

569
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 3: comes to any kind of manual labor, when it's either

570
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 3: fixing something or construction. Uh, there's a real demand now,

571
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 3: and I don't see how any of that's going to

572
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 3: be replaced.

573
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: By an electricians medium salary sixty two thousand dollars a year,

574
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: physical therapists assistant sixty thousand a year. Then we get

575
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: into some things that it requires some post secondary work,

576
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: surgical assistance and technologists wind turbine technicians.

577
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: Now, I don't think that's a smart field to go into.

578
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: Why not because I think people are gonna look at

579
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: the wind turbine and be like, yeah, we're not doing

580
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: these anymore. I think you're gonna see well. I really

581
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: think it depends on elections in the United States. I

582
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see those things go away. I think

583
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: that the immediate move is, why are we looking at wind,

584
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: which we don't have the technology yet to really make

585
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: work in a way that it can be truly sufficient

586
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: enough for our communities. We should be looking at nuclear.

587
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: It is nuclear's coming, kittens. We had it, people walked

588
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: away from it. Watch them walk back to it. That's

589
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: my take.

590
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 2: Fingers.

591
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 3: Then you're saying the only thing that could change this

592
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 3: are the political wins.

593
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: Look at you.

594
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 3: I think you've just been dad joked.

595
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 2: He's sick and he still got it.

596
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Occupational therapists at number five, radiologic and MRI technologists

597
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: at number four, with a median salary of seventy eight

598
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: thousand dollars.

599
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 3: Fingers it. Okay, you've got to have the people that

600
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 3: gets you into these machines.

601
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: But then.

602
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 3: Is there going to be the analysis that's done of

603
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 3: whatever images they take place they take I wonder how

604
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 3: much of that's going to be taken by AI. Yeah,

605
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 3: but analysis of the imagery.

606
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: But I still think it's going to be the doctor

607
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: who announced who does the analysis.

608
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 2: AI I think is going to get used.

609
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: But I still think the doctor is still going to

610
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: be the doctor, because I don't think the doctors are

611
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: going to allow themselves to be replaced by AI.

612
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 2: Just don't see that happening. I think there's gonna be

613
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: some kind of of thing that goes on that stops

614
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: that story.

615
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: Therapist at number three with over eighty thousand dollars a year,

616
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: diagnostic medical sonographers eighty nine thousand a year, and number

617
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: one on the list dental hygienist.

618
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 3: Look at that median salary.

619
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 2: Ninety four thousand dollars.

620
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: Now, the downside is you have to look the fingers

621
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: will awye's mouth every day. The upside is ninety four

622
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 1: thousand dollars.

623
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 3: I'm shocked. I had no idea that dental hygienists made

624
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 3: that much money.

625
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,600

626
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 3: Look, I don't know about you, but my dentist office,

627
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 3: the practice there. I think they're only open four days

628
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 3: a week. I mean I think they work for the

629
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 3: three twelve hour days and then they throw in a

630
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 3: four hour day, you know, so they're like three and

631
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 3: a half days a week they're open. That's a pretty

632
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 3: sweet gig.

633
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,160

00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: My family goes there, and I'm like this, this is

637
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: this is a dental farm. They're just moving people through

638
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: left and right. This is nuts.

639
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 2: So I went to a place that's smaller, and I'm like,

640
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 2: I feel like I.

641

Speaker 1: and and and I love it.
