1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: Wow, it is just two days after Thanksgiving? Or is

2
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: it a day? Honestly, I don't know when you hear

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: the show, but we decided here to eat, drink smoke.

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: Everybody's in a turkey coma or for us, a brisket coma.

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: Must we be so aggressive with our reviews of bourbon

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: and cigars. Wait, are we ever aggressive? Fingers Molly aggressive aggressive? No,

7
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: We're just more laid back right now than normal.

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 2: It's like we have three glasses of chill before we

9
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: start the show.

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: Seat, drink smoke. I'm Tony Katz and that is America's

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: favorite amateur drinker. Fingers molloy, A very happy Thanksgiving weekend

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: to you. I assume that if you're listening to us

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: on radio, this is the moment where you've decided, Hey, uh,

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: I believe we're running low on milk. I'll run to

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: the store and get that. No, no, no, mother in law.

16
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: I'll be back in just three hours, and you're enjoying

17
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: the show wherever it is you are. That's what I

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: assume is going on.

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: See, I thought they would just be saying to their

20
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: mother in law, let's all rally round the radio and

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 2: listen to our favorite radio program.

22
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: Honestly, that would be fantastic. So we decided we weren't

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: going to do something new this week, figuring a lot

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: of people might just be in a in a bit

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: of just slow down mode, and we decide to treat

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: ourselves with something that you don't see every day, something

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: we've done on the show before. This is the Arturo

28
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Fuente rare pink sophisticated hooker.

29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: It's a sophisticated hooker.

30
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: You say, I don't get a t he for that?

31
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: Oh t good lord Now, for those of you wondering

32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: how you could say such a thing on radio, this

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: according to the legend Carl Delfuente naming this after seeing

34
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: a fishing boat called the sophisticated hooker. Get it, hooker fishing,

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: that's what it is. This is a seven to one

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: quarter by fifty three, which means seven and one quarter

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: inches long. There it is, and the ring gauge is

38
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: fifty three the diameter of the cigar, or how thick

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: it is around, good lord man, A sixty four ring

40
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: gauge would be a full one inch around. So this

41
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: is a dadima starts at a point, ends at a point.

42
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 1: The cap ends where you cut the foot ends where

43
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: you light. I have just lit this up. This is

44
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: an Ecuadorian habano wrapper here and then I think it

45
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: is Do I have it right? Let me double check

46
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: myself here on the binder and the filler, I did

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: a total blank. I know equadorin a bottle, Dominican in

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: the binder and the filler. I think there's some Nicaraguan

49
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: in there as well. There's a little bit of spice

50
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: to this. The rare pinks are certainly sought after. They're

51
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: there in some ways collected. Is it the best thing

52
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: that our turf Pointy does or Turlepointe does. I don't

53
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: think so. I think they've got some They've got a

54
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: really really nice pallett of things going on. But this

55
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: has become something unique and special for people, and I figured,

56
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, after Thanksgiving, let's pull it out and relax.

57
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: And I'm really happy that you decided to do this cigar.

58
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: But what I'm really curious about, Tony, is how many

59
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: cigars you had on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving because it's it's kind

60
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: of a weird holiday when it comes to cigar smoking,

61
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: because the families all around you want to spend as

62
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: much time with family as possible, but also it's really

63
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: a day of meals and then relaxation. Well, so you

64
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: have to peel away to smoke your cigars, So how

65
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: many cigars did you smoke?

66
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: So first, a cigar smoking on Thanksgiving totally depends on weather, right,

67
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: how cold it is, So if you're in a place

68
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: it's cold, it's a much more difficult thing to do. Me,

69
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: I've got the studio connected to the house, very easy

70
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: thing to do. Second, I was smoking the brisket there

71
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: in the overnight Wednesday Thursday, So it's not that I

72
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: had to find the time. The time was provided to me.

73
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 1: But if I had on Thanksgiving with the people here

74
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: and the football and everything else, four on Thanksgiving Day itself, wow,

75
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: that's not that would not be surprising. But between the

76
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: start of the brisket and the actual meal, because we

77
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: do a lunchtime meal, so we do the meal, it

78
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: was like one thirty. So when we did it, six

79
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: six in a thirty hour period. God bless you. I know,

80
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: America's great, isn't it.

81
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: You're making up for the fact that I'm not having

82
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 2: any because it isn't because I don't want to. It's

83
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: just I'm at that point in my life where I

84
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: do not want to sit outside when it's thirty degrees out.

85
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: It's focusing, and you're up in Michigan and doing ale

86
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: the whole thing. So we grab the sophisticated hooker. I

87
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: wanted a little bit of that spice that comes with

88
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: this as a compliment to you know what is a

89
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: very base, rich kind of meal depending on who you are.

90
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: The wrapper here is very very attractive. It is very smooth,

91
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: nice bit of oil, almost a touch of sueded. The

92
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: hef done this cigar seven and a quarter by fifty three.

93
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: I could use a touch more, but it still feels

94
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: good and it's got this at least this one. It's

95
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: not a box press, but it's this quasi kind of

96
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: what's happening here. I think because of that diadem of

97
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: shape right closed foot or closed in foot and close cap,

98
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: it gets this a little bit more oblong kind of

99
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: thing going. It could have been just how it was

100
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: in my human or it just feels great and not inexpensive.

101
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: And so this is where it gets weird. The question

102
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: I would ask your fingers, well, boy, is is this

103
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: in your humid or for what was an MSRP at

104
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: the time of seventeen dollars and seventy five cents.

105
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: I mean, we just lit this, but if you have

106
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: to have an answer right now, yes.

107
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: So I think the rare Pink is something that if

108
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: you haven't tried it, you absolutely try it and then

109
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: decide if it's in your humid or The problem is

110
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: you don't find them at that price. It's one of

111
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: those things that you find secondary market stuff and hey,

112
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: we happy to get something in and then it's thirty

113
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: two dollars or it's thirty five dollars and you got

114
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: to decide whether or not you want to play the

115
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: game on this. And I think that you should not

116
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: play it with box buying, buying boxes until you've actually

117
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: had the stick. Buy one, even if you feel it's overpriced,

118
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: then decide for yourself if the rare pink is rare

119
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: enough for you, then you could search it out right,

120
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: try and find deal uh maybe by it in larger measure. Now,

121
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: admittedly I do buy the hooker by the box, I

122
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: absolutely do. But I have an ur turf our turf

123
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: onete uh extra vie on yeho in there, which is

124
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: not the rare pink version. That is a less expensive cigar.

125
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: I would buy by the box and I would smoke

126
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: over this all the time, much more my flavor profile.

127
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: Uh this is. This has got a nice bit of spice.

128
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: I don't know about you. That is on the back

129
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: tongue working its way into the throat. It is it

130
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: is right now for me. Maybe it's just because of

131
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: the week. Uh playing a bit of white pepper. Uh there,

132
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: but a lovely smoke and well constructed and well put together. Yeah.

133
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: For me, it's the roof of the mouth going into

134
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: the back of the throat. That spice is there. You

135
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: mentioned white pepper. I would agree with you, maybe a

136
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: little bit of like Hay the handfiel you mentioned you

137
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: would like a little bit more halft. To me, it

138
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: feels almost perfect. I would always like the cigar a

139
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: little bit more on that, on the heavier side. But

140
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: this feels really good in the hand, and you know

141
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: I would. I'm just gonna be really interested to see

142
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: if that spice picks up as we move through the

143
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: first third of the cigar.

144
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: Well, I will not ruin it for you. I will

145
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: not tell you what will happen between you and your cigar.

146
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: It is Thanksgiving weekend a good chance to just bring

147
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: it on down from a lot of insanity and family

148
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: and hard work. Take it easy, relax, great show ahead.

149
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: We told you here. First, it was Eat Drink Smoke

150
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: that told you that all these influencers are absolutely ridiculous.

151
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: If you follow influencers, you're guaranteed to be disappointed because

152
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: they're frauds, they're liars. Admittedly, there's some people who do

153
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: some things that are worthwhile, some people who do something

154
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: that are fun, and even we have a couple people

155
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: were like, yeah, they do some really good work, but

162
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: Eat Drink Smoke. Now, I want to say for the

163
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: record that we have never once referred to ourselves as influencers. Never, once, never, ever,

164
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: ever do you think we fall into the category of influencers.

165
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: No, absolutely not.

166
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: Is it because we don't have the cleavage You.

167
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: Just hit the nail on the head. I mean, how

168
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 2: many times we would go to some of these shows

169
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: and there would be a lot of cigar shows.

170
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know what kind of show you were

171
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: talking about.

172
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: There'd be a lovely woman that would show up and

173
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: say something like, oh my gosh, the cigar unity is

174
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: so welcoming. I just started my Instagram account six months

175
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: ago and I already have thirty thousand followers. And you

176
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: get on the Instagram account and it's bikini bikini, bikini, bikini, bikini, bikini,

177
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: which I've said for years, why aren't we doing the

178
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: show on a bikini?

179
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: And I believe the answer is you tried on the bikini.

180
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: That's true. I'm not going to tell people not to

181
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: make a living. I'm gonna notice. And it isn't just

182
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: those kinds of influencers. It's all of these people who

183
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: engage in a level of outrage or in the world

184
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: of food, the people like, hey, we're at this great restaurant,

185
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: we're trying this now. There are some honest, decent people

186
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: doing some Hey this is a cool place. Hey check

187
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: out this stuff, and where I live and all that stuff.

188
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: This is a story of a woman by the name

189
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: of Pei Chung, first name pay Pei. She has been

190
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: going to restaurants ordering lavishly. She shows up dressed to

191
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: the hilt and the prod of this and the Gucci that,

192
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: and then she says, oh, after ordering all this food,

193
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm an influencer and I'm going to give you a

194
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: good review, so you should give me this for free.

195
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 2: And people bought into it, and I can go further

196
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 2: than that, just saying I can't pay. Yeah, no, I

197
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: can't pay. Oh she's done that if yes, and gets arrested.

198
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: The story from NBC New York. According to police records,

199
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: Chung has been arrested at least six times in the

200
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 2: last month for ringing up a bill at trendy restaurants

201
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: and failing to pay. Thirty four year old is known

202
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: for ordering multiple courses, snapping pictures of the food, and

203
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: later posting that content on her Instagram page. But every

204
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 2: time she gets arrested, Chung is charged with theft of services,

205
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: a class A misdemeanor. But that's like turnstile jumping in

206
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 2: New York. So she gets released.

207
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: So so it didn't start with the Hey, I'm an

208
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: influencer and you should give me this for free. It

209
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: starts with I'm an influencer and I don't have any

210
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: money and I'm not gonna pay you.

211
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 2: Yes, she starts like that, Yes, So what happened was

212
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: that this what true the attention of NBC New York

213
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: is this restaurant owner actually recognized her name because you

214
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: know her account and her profile. It's starting to, you know,

215
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: appear on the radar of these restaurant owners. And he's like,

216
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 2: I'm not No, you're not eating here, Get out of here.

217
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: Go.

218
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: And so she tried to go to other restaurants, and

219
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: she's tried over time, because, like you said, she's dressed

220
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: to the nines and she has the Prada bags and

221
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: all that stuff where she'll try to barter after she eats. Well,

222
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: I got nice shoes on, I got I got a

223
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 2: beautiful per.

224
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: At one moment, according to one of the stories, she's

225
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: at Peter Luger's right, steakhouse of steakhouses right, absolutely phenomenal place.

226
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: She's given the bill, she's like, no, I can't pay this,

227
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: but hey, let me see what I have in my bag,

228
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: like your grandmother offering up the sweet and low. She

229
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: stole from the local diner, or maybe a plum she

230
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: had wrapped in a paper towel. She's like, well, I've

231
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: got this, I've got that. At one moment, offered up

232
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: a set of kitchen shears, and she probably stole from

233
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: another restaurant. She's walking around with scissors that could possibly

234
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: have been used. What I have many many questions? How

235
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: are you arrested for theft six times and not in jail?

236
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: How are you not in jail? There comes a moment

237
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: where this becomes so serialized that you you don't you

238
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: don't get to just keep walking around and walking into places.

239
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: How is it possible that every restaurant doesn't have a

240
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: picture of her that says, do not serve this woman,

241
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: do not serve this thieving tramp? Wow? What you walk around? Tramp?

242
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: In there? You walk around stealing from restaurants.

243
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 2: I get to say that it used to be where

244
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 2: wanted posts and there are guys who do this too.

245
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: It used to be wanted posters would be at the

246
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: post office. Now they have to be at upscale restaurants.

247
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: They used to take the bad checks and tape them

248
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: to the cash register. Oh my god, Oh Tommy bounced

249
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: to check to you. Oh my gosh, I know Tommy,

250
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: we went to high school together. I can't believe it.

251
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: But here's the problem with this is there are too

252
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: many people in society today that applaud this type of

253
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: behavior and say, yeah, another instance of someone sticking it

254
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: to the man's restaurants.

255
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: Can you think that's happening. Oh, she's so great sticking

256
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: it to the man.

257
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: Well, she has a Instagram account that I'm assuming. I

258
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: haven't looked up her account to see how many followers

259
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 2: she has, but if this is her thing, and if

260
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: it's known that she is basically stealing meals and getting arrested,

261
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: there has to be an audience out there. That's if

262
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: you're following her, you're condoning this behavior.

263
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: She has twenty four nine hundred followers. I think I

264
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: think that's her. I'm looking at the pictures of food

265
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: and pictures of her in various levels of undress, and

266
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: because that that's yeah, that that that's her. So I

267
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: think that's it. Listen, that's the account. I'm showing a picture.

268
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: I don't think she got that lingerie from a restaurant.

269
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just pretty sure. I if people are like,

270
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: good for you, and you're sticking it to the man

271
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: that we've often discussed the end of civilization. That's that's

272
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: a great example of it. I don't think people are

273
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: like that, though, I think more people are like I

274
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: hope I'm there when she gets thrown out my local place.

275
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: My Peter Luger is an institution. That's who you take

276
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: advantage of. No no, no, no, no no, no no.

277
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: Well, you know more about Peter Lugers than I do.

278
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: I'm assuming that Peter Luger is based on the conversation

279
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: we're having right now, if you wanted to go in

280
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: and get yourself a ribbi, you're gonna be spending one

281
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty two hundred dollars for that ribby.

282
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: I would assume you're going to spend a fair amount

283
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: of money.

284
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: You don't think that there are people out there that

285
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: are saying to themselves, Oh, how dare they charge that

286
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 2: much for a stake? How dare they charge that much

287
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: for a meal? They must be making money. Hand over fist.

288
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: Good for her sticking it to the man.

289
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: By the way, if you are on the website for

290

291
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,440

292
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: I just want to say, for the record, you cannot

293
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: afford Peter Luger.

294
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: Well that I freely admit that I can't afford Peter Luger.

295
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: There could be some I guess it's New York, so

296
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: I guess there could be some Mom Donnie voters who

297
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: feel that way, you know, sticking it to that normal

298
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: people are like, throw this woman in jail and keep

299
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: her in jail.

300
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: Well, she doesn't go to jail.

301
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: And that's the part, man, that's the part that's most frustrating.

302
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: How is it possible that if I jwalk, I get

303
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: a nineteen thousand dollars ticket. She steals from restaurants and

304
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,080

00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: do all the things. I'm Tony Katz. That is Fingers

310
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: molloy smoking the Sophisticated Hooker. It's named after a fishing boat.

311
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: People settle down. This from Artura point Day part of

312
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 1: their rare pink collection seven or a quarter by fifty

313
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: three that Ecuador and Habano. We're in the first third

314
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: of the cigar, and the spice is absolutely there.

315
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 2: What do you think made that fishing boat sophisticated? Do

316
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: you think they had AMNFM radio on it?

317
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: I believe that the seats made a fine Corinthian leather. Nice.

318
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: That's that's what I believe. And and they had a

319
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: wide array of BoA's. That's so that's a that's the

320
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: that is the the telltale sign of sophistication.

321
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 2: That is so true this cigar, the spice for me

322
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: has picked up a little bit, but not not as

323
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 2: much as I thought it would. But I'm sure it's

324
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: going to probably continue to pick up for me. Actually,

325
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,239
Speaker 2: now that that hey that I was talking about's kind

326
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 2: of gone away and it's kind of morphed more into

327
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: a wood note, I'm not really getting any sweetness off

328
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 2: the cigar.

329
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: I think that's accurate. No, No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't

330
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: say that at this point. And with everything we we

331
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: we've talked about this cigar before. We're just taking it

332
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: easy after Thanksgiving, just like you are. And we wanted

333
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: to grab something we we already knew, and a little

334
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: bit of celebration. It's been a long week, and it's

335
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: been a long year. Fingers Maloya. As we're starting to

336
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: gear up, Fingers reminded me that we have to start

337
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: gearing up for our top cigars and top bourbons of

338
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. And there were some flat out bangers

339
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: this year. There were some monsters this year, and I

340
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: am at a total loss of where I'm gonna be.

341
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: I think I've got a pretty good grasp on cigars.

342
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: I don't have any grasp on where I'm gonna be

343
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: on bourbons. There were so many things didn't agree with me.

344
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: So many things just made me say this is special

345
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: and fun and I'm not sure where to begin.

346
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: I feel like a theme for this year, and to

347
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: the point where it's probably gotten to the point where

348
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 2: some of our listeners are yelling at the radio, you're

349
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 2: talking about this again. It was a value conversation where

350
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: we kept saying to ourselves, man, I wish this cigar

351
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 2: were about three or four dollars cheaper than it is.

352
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: I felt like that was a theme almost throughout the

353
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: entire year.

354
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: It was I am not going to utilize that at

355
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: all in my decisions for what I thought was the best.

356
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: The value will not play a part in my decisions.

357
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: As per tradition, Yes, fingers went away. I picked the cigars,

358
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: and I picked the bourbon. Or if it's a rye

359
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: or something else. By the way, I'm pretty sure there's

360
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: something on my list that is not a bourbon nor

361
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: a rye. No kidding, oh oh oh oh. We will

362
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: get to it. But no matter what, with any cigar

363
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: that you're smoking, whether you're smoking along with us at eat, drink,

364
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: smoke or not, you want to get your notebook out,

365
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: any spiral notebook will do what did you eat today,

366
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: what'd you drink today? The weather that all affects your palette.

367
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: Then take the cigar and break it up into thirds

368
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: in your mind first, third, second, third, final third, and

369
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: then write down your flavors. What is it that you're

370
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: getting out of the cigar, And when you try that

371
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: cigar a month from now, six months from now, you

372
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: compare notes, get an idea of the through line. It's like, okay,

373
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: that's what I got out of the cigar. It is

374
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: so important to do that. We've got this show for that, right.

375
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: The show is my notebook in a way, but you

376
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: want to write it down. It's so important. You'll remember

377
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: it so well and you'll be amazed at how you

378
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: start building up your cigar knowledge. I think it's just

379
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: one of those clever tricks. It's like journal and writing

380
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: a diary. Right. This is something that's been going on

381
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: for forever. It's the same same concept, same same philosophy.

382
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: There you bring that up. I really wish That's one

383
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 2: of the things I got into when I had our

384
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: first kid, was I wish I would have had some

385
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: sort of journal, yeah, to jog my memory, you know,

386
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 2: when I can look back and you know what it's

387
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: funny is now Facebook is that right? To be able

388
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: to back at Facebook memories?

389
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: It really does help it. It is kind of amazing

390
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: because I'll get stuff like I don't remember that happening,

391
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: and I have to really go back and reasearch and

392
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: be like, oh, yeah, that it is very very cool.

393
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: Do you when? So this is the season of course

394
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: with Christmas cards and all that and gift cards, thank

395
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: you cards? Right? Do you write thank you cards? No?

396
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: Because generally I don't really have anyone in my life

397
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 2: that gives me much to where I would send them

398
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 2: a thank you card.

399
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: Wow, that's fantastic. Do you have your own stationary from

400
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: the desk of Maloy.

401
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 2: Now, I'm just trying to wrap my head about how

402
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: sad that sounds.

403
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: I have stationary, do you. I think it's extremely, extremely important.

404
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: I gave stationary to both my kids. Oh, they're names

405
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: on it. The importance of the thank you note cannot

406
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: be understated.

407
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 2: I agree with you. I have stationary. At the top

408
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 2: of it it says Hilton Garden in nicely done.

409
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: But I whenever I write a card, I did it

410
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: at first. It came to me later. I put the

411
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: date on it because people save things and if it's like,

412
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: hey when was this? When did I get this? It

413
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: helps jog the memory. Just put the date on, I

414
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: put month and year. I don't know, sary, I put

415
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: the day. I put month and year in the top

416
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: right corner because I just I don't know. I think

417
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a touch, like it's a

418
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: little bit of this. This mattered to me. I think

419
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: it's I think it's incredibly important. Along with your notebook,

420
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: start that this holiday season, this Christmas season, I.

421
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 2: Would really be curious and maybe people could, you know,

422
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: hit us on social media and let us know if

423
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 2: people still send thank you cards out anymore. Because everything's

424
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: so digitalized now, do people send emails and think that

425
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 2: that's the appropriate way to thank people.

426
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: It is not. It is in no way appropriate to

427
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: send somebody an email to thank them. If it's a

428
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: simple thing with a friend, you send them a text,

429
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 1: that's fine. If it's a gift for an actual moment,

430
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: it's for a gift, it's for a recommendation, it's for

431
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: a lead in business. No no, no, no, no no,

432
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: say thank you like a grown up. I'm big on

433
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: the grown up thing.

434
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 2: Oh you know, I like to send singing telegrams.

435
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: If honestly, if you want to send a singing telegram

436
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: this we will allow. Singing telegrams will be alone.

437
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: Do you think that still? You think it is easy

438
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: to send us singing telegram in twenty twenty five.

439
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: I want to send you one right now. No, I

440
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: would prefer thee too late, too late, it's happening, singing telegram.

441
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: It's gonna come back. I'm sorry, Grandpa. Those days are over.

442
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: That's what it's going to say.

443
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: I found the website. It is the best singing telegrams.

444
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: Oh you know what I got, I got it. I

Speaker 2: was just a throwaway joke, and now I wish it

461
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: would have went away about ninety seconds ago.

462
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: But now it's something that everybody must see fingers belloy

463
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: single handily bring them back the singing telegram.

464
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 2: Well, and what's the purpose of getting the singing telegram

465
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 2: if you don't have a phone nearby so you can

466
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 2: post it on the gram.

467
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: That's true. That is true. This whole thing about saying

468
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: thank you, this falls into the category of wedding gift.

469
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: Do is a wedding gift cash? Or is wedding gift

470
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: to gift? It's cash? Okay, So I agree with you,

471
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: except I have a pair of candlesticks that we use

472
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: for Jewish holidays. I have a vase from somebody I

473
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: grew up with who I don't speak to anymore. We

474
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: use them all the time. These things last, and it's

475
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: very unique that they do last, that it's been years

476
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: and they're still there and they're still a part of

477
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: what goes on, and those people aren't for varying reasons,

478
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: not in every gaze, but in varying reasons. But I

479
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: think it's interesting. It has kind of turned me on

480
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: the idea of maybe there's something there. I get it.

481
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: Cash matters because things are purchased with the cash and

482
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: utilize it with the cash paying for the wedding, for example,

483
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, and it is helpful, but man,

484
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: the gift is something.

485
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: I think that the art of sending a thank you

486
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 2: note is gone, or just being thankful in general. If

487
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: only we had a day of the year where people

488
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 2: just sat back and had these thoughts about being thankful

489
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: and really celebrated thankfulness.

490
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: Isn't that Ruth Buzzy Day.

491
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 2: Ruth Buzzy Day for some of us is every day.

492
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: That's true. By the way, that's a holiday that we

493
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: should put together. We should, on the anniversary of her death,

494
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: celebrate Ruth Buzzy Day, and everybody hits everyone with a purse.

495
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: It used to be the Black Friday was a moment

496
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: of coming together, of planning and of excitement, and you

497
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: wake up early and you get to your favorite store

498
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: because there were doorbuster deals Fingers maloy Doorbuster deals. And then,

499
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,239
Speaker 1: of course came the advent to the cell phone, and

500
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: Black Friday became that day where you sat home and

501
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: watched videos of really overweight women or unbelievably stupid men

502
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: beating a living crap out of each other over a toaster.

503
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: Shalla la lah. I missed those days too. See Drink Smoke.

504
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: I'm Tony Katz, that is Fingers Maloy. Don't forget our books.

505
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: Let's go Bourbon, Let's go bbq, Let's go barbecue. They're

506
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: available at Amazon dot com. Perfect gifts for Christmas, Hanukkah,

507
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: anything that you should celebrate.

508
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 2: So you know we mentioned earlier about where we discussed

509
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: earlier Facebook memories, right, and I had some Facebook memories

510
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 2: from Black Friday twenty twelve. You want to hear some

511
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 2: of them from?

512
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.

513
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: I didn't have to stand in line at Walmart to

514
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 2: save on this Xbox game. I hit it behind an

515
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: Alan Colmbs book three weeks ago.

516
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,479
Speaker 1: You did an Alan Colmes joke. It's twenty twelve. Alan

517
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: Combs was half of Hannity and Combs, the original show

518
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: on Fox News Channel. Alan Combs was on the political left.

519
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: Sean Hennedy was on the political right. Alan Colmes passed

520
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: away some years ago. I disagreed with him vehemently politically.

521
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: Everything I ever heard about that guy, most unbelievably decent

522
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: cat you would ever meet. I'd be curious to hear

523
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: his thoughts about today's political Insanitay and Alan Colmes reference as.

524
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: A poll man just shoved an old man aside at Walmart.

525
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: I saved fifteen percent on a Wei game and he

526
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 2: got five stitches. I never felt so alive.

527
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: You something tells me we have our next book. Everybody,

528

Speaker 2: these big box warehouse stores.

566
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,440

00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: ninety eight inch. Yes, this could absolutely handle a ninety

590
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: eight inch TV. Now I don't buy TCL. Yeah, I

591
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: have my rules. That is made in China, and I

592
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: do everything I can not to buy it from China,

593
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: not to bring politics into it. But boy's got to

594
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: have some standards, and that's mine. So this TV ninety

595
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: eight inches of television, yes, normally nineteen hundred and ninety

596
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: nine dollars.

597
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: Yes, and it was on and now again, I don't

598
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: know if this is like Cohle's, where you know, everything's

599
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: on sale and oh it really was never two thousand dollars, uh,

600
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 2: nine hundred and ninety eight dollars under a thousand dollars.

601
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 2: And I'm looking at this and I'm having flashbacks to

602
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: when I purchased my first big screen TV. It was

603
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 2: a fifty five inch Mitsubishi sixteen x nine screen format

604
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 2: and it was twenty six hundred dollars and that was

605
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 2: on sale. And now you can get a ninety eight

606
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 2: inch TV.

607
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: For I believe my first big screen was a Panasonic

608
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: and I think it was forty eight inches, but it

609
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: might have only been forty two inches, and I think

610
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: I paid somewhere between twelve and fourteen hundred dollars.

611
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: It's crazy. Yeah, even more of a flashback. I was

612
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 2: a college student early nineties, and I had a Sears

613
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: charge card right and it was getting right at the

614
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: beginning of football season, and I ran out and I

615
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 2: got the biggest TV I could afford. It was I

616
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 2: can't remember my credit limit was on the Seers charge card,

617
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: but I got a thirty two inch TV Tube TV

618
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: and it seemed huge. It weighed seven hundred and five

619
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 2: pounds tony if I remember correctly. This was in nineteen

620
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 2: ninety two or something like that. I paid eight hundred

621
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 2: dollars for it for thirty two inch TV. My how

622
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: times have changed.

623
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: You paid eight hundred dollars for it. Yeah. Wow, sounds

624
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: like a lot. No, But the prices, of course on

Speaker 1: and things like that. It's one hundred and ninety nine dollars.

630
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: It is unbelievable how easy it is to access the

631
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: world for what is seemingly a very inexpensive number in today's.

632
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,279

00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 2: Max snobbery thing. But I've been a Mac guy for

636
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 2: so long, I don't know how difficult of a transition

637
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 2: it would be to go to a PC.

638
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: So in the work that I do, the radio work

639

645
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: looks good, and that's it, okay. I don't use it

646
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: for anything at all.

647
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 2: So you're using Windows.

00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: I go to Microsoft Edge, which is their browser, okay,

649
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: and I go to YouTube just to make sure everything

650
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: is looking appropriate. And that's all I do. That's the

651
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,640

652
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: why I have it there. I don't even know what

653
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,359

656
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 2: I haven't used a PC. I haven't had a PC

657
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,480

00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: Right. It weighs seventy four pounds, Yes, exactly the max

659
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,399

660
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: not moving from that ecosystem. I just don't want to learn.

661
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to engage the people who

662
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 1: have Android or Google phones. They seem very happy, they

663
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: seem like very like it somehow works better, and I

664
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: just I don't know what better is? How much time

665
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: do I have to spend with it to be like, oh, yeah,

713
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,920

714

Speaker 1: rare pink sophisticated hooker, which is named after a fishing

715

Speaker 1: gustle hooker. That's please don't send any emails, but we've

716
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: said what to drink, and I said, this may be

717
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 1: a good time, Fingers malloy, to introduce to you a

718
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: barrel pick that I have done with a local distillery

719
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,479
Speaker 1: here we've talked about before called West Fork Whiskey. They're

720
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: relocated here in Indiana, and they've got a whole host

721
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: of things they do under their name West Fork Whiskey.

722
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: And then they've got a whole host of things that

723
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: they do. You can you can buy it in a

724
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 1: lot of places around the country called Old Hamer h

725
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: a m e r. It's pronounced Hamer, not Hammer. And

726
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: they've got an eight year and they've got a ten

727
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: year expression and they have a really interesting mash bill here.

728
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 1: It's ninety nine percent corn. Wow, Yeah, it's it's it's

729
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: pretty nutty in how they do it right. So instead

730
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: of a corn rye barley or adding wheat, it's ninety

731
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 1: nine percent corn. The more corn you have, the sweeter

732
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: that it's it's going to be and bourbon by law

733
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: has to be fifty one percent corn. I did a

734
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: barrel pick for them. You offen see barrel picks everywhere.

735
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: Everyone's got a barrel pick. I did this barrel pick.

736
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: I went and I and I spoke, and I looked

737
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 1: at barrels and I tasted things directly out of the barrel.

738
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: I said, this is fantastic. I will be putting my name,

739
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: the Tony Katz name, to the old Hammer single barrel

740
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: eleven year bourbon whiskey coming in at one hundred and

741
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: twenty seven point six proof fingers. I am incredibly, incredibly

742
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: happy with what has happened here. That's wonderful. So this

743
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 1: what you're about to drink, and soon what the world

744
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: will drink. It's gonna be out. Honestly, I think it's

745
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: gonna be out in the next week or so. To

746
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: bet right, we're talking after the weekend of Thanksgiving. So

747
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: I think in the next week or so, so plowed

748
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: people are gonna be able to get this for for

749
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: for Christmas, get it for Hanukah, get it for uh,

750
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: get it in time for Valentine's Day. You know, just

751
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: think early, think ahead. Nothing says I love you like

752
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: a Tony Katz picked bourbon.

753
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 2: So what's the the actual name of this?

754
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: Then the old Hamer eleven year okay, right, selected by

755
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,479
Speaker 1: Tony Kats. That's what we've got right here.

756
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 2: So this also has for the mashvill ninety nine percent corn.

757
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: Ninety nine percent corn. So what's the other one percent? Love?

758
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 2: Oh, there it is?

759
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: That is right?

760
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 2: Then it's perfect for the holiday season.

761
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: That's what I say. Uh, it's it's a very very

762
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: interesting expression. First things. First, I am a fan of

763
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: the look right, it's it's not into the ambers, but

764
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: it definitely is in see some darkness there. That is

765
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,800

767
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: malted barley is what we're talking about here. And fingers,

768
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 1: you're doing the nose on this and by the way,

769
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: there are a lot of barrel picks. Try them at

770
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: your local places there, you know, it could be a

771
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: very unique expression that works exactly for your for your

772
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: flavor profile. You're doing the nose, right, he's got his

773
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 1: nose in their fingers, biloy, what are you getting fingers?

774
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 2: Well, I'm getting oak. But then also I'm getting.

775
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:35,919
Speaker 1: Now.

776
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 2: There is a touch of ethanol alcohol on the nose

777
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 2: as well, and then a little bit of caramel, a

778
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 2: little bit of vanilla. Am I crazy?

779
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: Oh? Would you like to see my tasting notes?

780
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:50,439
Speaker 2: Sure?

781
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: Caramel, oak and cocoa. Okay, that's what's on the nose. Right,

782
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: they're well done. Look at you, Look at you.

783
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 2: But you know, Sniffin is for suckers. Sniffin is for suckers.

784
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: That's that's how I keep kids off drugs. Okay.

785
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm really anxious to try this, especially one

786
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty one, for it's been a while, one

787
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty seven point six, one hundred and twenty

788
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 2: seven point eight, it's been a while since we've done

789
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 2: a bourbon that has gosh, have we done anything recently?

790
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 2: It's been over one hundred and ten. I don't I

791
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 2: don't think.

792
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't recall at the moment, I don't recall. But figures,

793
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: are you ready for this? Oh? Yeah, sure thing? But

794
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: you're ready for this all holiday weekend. This is the

795
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 1: West Fork Whiskey Oldhamer eleven years selected by Tony Katz.

796
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: He was doing what's known as the Kentucky Chew. He's

797
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: moving the juice around the palate getting an idea of

798
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: the flavors. I'm a believer in the two SIPs. The

799
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: first sip to set the taste buds, second sip to

800
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: really get an idea of the flavors. Think, Fingers took

801
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: a sip of water afterwards, I need to take another

802
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: sip of this. Oh is that right? Is that right?

803
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: For too much popcorn? Oh? Is that it? Maah, that's

804
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: a problem that will that could mess with your palette? There,

805
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: Fingers malloy, he has taken the second sip, moving it around.

806
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 1: What say you, Fingers ratio maloy? Wow.

807
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 2: So that cocoa that you mentioned that hits harder than

808
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 2: the caramel. That caramel is there?

809
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: Oak? Is there?

810
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 2: That chocolate? Boy, There is a nice bit of sting

811
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 2: on the tongue. But I have to say, as far

812
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 2: as any kind of warmth, in a gentle warmth, this

813
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 2: plays on the palette like one hundred and twenty proof,

814
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 2: but it doesn't play, you know, in when you get

815
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 2: into the chest. Correct, it's not overwhelming, it is It

816
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 2: is a nice winter bourbon.

817
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: So I absolutely agree there's an absolute hot finish here.

818
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: There's definitely a cinema overtone that takes place in that

819
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: there's definitely a sting on the tongue, sting on the lips.

820
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: Then there's the oak is present, which made me super happy.

821
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: But the thing that I liked is that this is

822
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: I think a fantastic presentation of butterscotch. That's the flavor

823
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: that for me. There's my tasting notes right there. It's

824
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: over here and there in position number one. That's what

825
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: took me over the edge. It's this nice mix of

826
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 1: sweet but not overwhelming, mixed with that little bit of cinnamon.

827
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: You definitely have that oak underneath that that ties it

828
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: it well together. I said, this is something that you

829
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: can absolutely enjoy. You can put this on the cube.

830
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: You can add a little bit of water to this

831
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: as as we will. What's interesting and I think fingers

832
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: might be curious about it's a little sweeter than I

833
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: normally go.

834
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 2: Well, you said ninety nine percent corn right away, was well,

835
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 2: I'm I'm surprised that you would sign up for something

836
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 2: like that because you normally are not one for a

837
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 2: very sweet bourbon.

838
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: I don't think this is overly sweet, and that's what

839
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: it is, sweetness in a very nice, controlled degree. But

840
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: the heat of that cinnamon and the oak undercurrent, I

841
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 1: think is that is the perfect levels of balance here,

842
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: and so I am overjoyed we have any idea on

843
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: an MSRP. Yet, oh, I'm not going to be sharing that.

844
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 1: The Old Hammer eleven years selected by Tony Katz coming

845
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:47,399
Speaker 1: out soon. So, as we sit after Thanksgiving and the

846
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: Black Friday is ringing in our ears, and there's still

847
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 1: deals out there and we will get to it. Can

848
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: AI pick a deal better than the experts out there

849
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: who pick Black Friday deals? The very best Black Friday deal?

850
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: We are aware that I'm curious to see where spending

851
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: is going to be this holiday season. The economy is

852
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 1: not great, as we have discussed. Sorry to bring reality

853
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: crashing down in the middle of your turkey or brisket, food, comade, drink, smoke,

854
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm Tony Katz. That is America's favorite amateur drinker, Fingers molloy,

855
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: And the story out of Yahoo Finance foreclosures are up

856
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: twenty percent, and some people saying, I've seen two thousand

857
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: and eight and I've seen this movie before, I know

858
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: how it ends that that's what we're getting into. Thirty

859
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 1: six thousand Fingers thirty six thousand, seven hundred and sixty

860
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: six foreclosure filings in October twenty percent increase year over year,

861
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: along with thirty two percent rise and completed foreclosures Florida,

862
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: South Carolina, Illinois reporting some of the highest rates since

863
00:47:54,239 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: the end of COVID is what they're seeing. I find

864
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: this to be not surprising. It's not rude or it's

865
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: not what's the word I'm looking for negative To say

866
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: that things are not great out there, They're just they're

867
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: just not is the only way to explain it. What

868
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: I cannot do the math on is we have seen,

869
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: although we haven't had numbers recently because of the government shutdown,

870
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: we've seen retail spend up across the country and it

871
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: has been very vexing. How can things be as problematic

872
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: as they are, yet spending still goes up. We've talked

873
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: about this. People are still in restaurants. Okay, maybe there

874
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: are less restaurants because some closed, but they're still out.

875
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: They're still spending. I want to see where credit card

876
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: debt has gone to.

877
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 2: But does this number shock you fingers No, because it's

878
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,720
Speaker 2: happening in other industries as well. I just came across

879
00:48:54,719 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 2: the story from w LWT NBC LOCALCIET in Cincinnati, Yeah,

880
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 2: saying recent data shows a sharp rise in US vehicle repossessions,

881
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 2: with seizures climbing due to record high prices for new cars.

882
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 2: So you're seeing this in the car market as well.

883
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 2: People aren't able to make their car payments. You're seeing

884
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 2: it with homes now with the foreclosures. You know, I

885
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 2: don't have the data in front of me, but I

886
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 2: feel like we've done stories recently about credit card debt,

887
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 2: how that's increased. People are struggling, you know, because we've

888
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 2: had several years of prices that continue to climb and

889
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 2: what seems to be with not much relief. So no,

890
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 2: none of this surprises me.

891
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: The I'm always amazed by the cars because when people

892
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: don't pay their mortgage, it's a stupid thing to say,

893
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: but go with me. One could argue that that's rational,

894
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: that if something has to go, it's the mortgage payment.

895
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: You're going to stay in the house as long as

896
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: you can, and eventually you can get an apartment. But

897
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: if you don't pay for your car, you can't get

898
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: to work, you can't engage other opportunities. So it's very,

899
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: very limiting. It's a very strange thing to do, and

900
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: I think it is a sense of proof on this

901
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,720
Speaker 1: forward and at full disclosure, I work with a local

902
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: Ford dealership here in Indianapolis. I always I'm a big

903
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: believer in disclosure. I always identify if there's some level

904
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: of connection. And they had done after the tariffs, they

905
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: immediately jumped on employee pricing. They were going to take

906
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: advantage of the fact that this American made and you

907
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't have the tariffs here, and we've got even better

908
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: deals in it. It was very helpful. They're moving out

909
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: of that, and now they're moving into zero percent financing,

910
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: zero down, zero percent financing, and wait, what's the other one? Wait?

911
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 1: What else? Was zero down, zero financing and zero payments

912
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: for the first ninety days and the zero percent interest

913
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: is for the first forty eight months. Now they exclude

914
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:04,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of vehicles, the Raptor. No it's only twenty

915
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: twenty four or twenty twenty five models. No Raptors, no Mavericks,

916
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: no Rangers, no super duty trucks, no transits, the Bronco,

917
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: the Bronco Sport, the Expedition Link Navigator. No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

918
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: no no. And if it's a twenty twenty four Lightning,

919
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: which is the Electric or the Mustang Mokey No, but

920
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Lightning, you can get zero percent

921
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:28,959
Speaker 1: financing and no payments for ninety days and zero down.

922
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 1: You know way more about cars than I do in

923
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: the car market. Is that a turn on to people? Yes?

924
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

925
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it a sign that things are problematic?

926
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 2: Yes, because you know it costs automakers through financing companies'

927
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 2: money to offer these rates, and then on top of it,

928
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 2: the other problem is if you have people that bought

929
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 2: cars recently and they didn't put a lot of money down,

930
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 2: they may still be underwater on their loan to where

931
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 2: they would have to add much more to their new

932
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 2: car loan to cover paying off their old car if

933
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 2: they're trading it in with trade in values. I found

934
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 2: something interesting the other day. I was on YouTube and

935
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 2: some weird things will pop into my feed every once

936
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 2: in a while, and one was an old commercial for

937
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 2: Melfar Ford. Melfarr was a Detroit Lion in the seventies.

938
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: Everything goes back to the Detroit Lion, that's true.

939
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 2: Well, anyway, then he had a few Ford dealerships, and

940
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 2: he was doing a commercial and he was talking about

941
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy seven Fords, and I can't remember the models,

942
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 2: and I don't know the interest rates back then, but

943
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 2: he said, oh, get this new Ford seventy seven whatever

944
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 2: it was for one seventy seven a month. And I

945
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 2: thought to myself, Wow, So I asked our good friend

946
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 2: chat GPT, oh, did you know, yes, what one hundred

947
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 2: and seventy nine dollars in nineteen seventy seven, what that

948
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 2: would convert to to twenty twenty five dollars nine and

949
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 2: seventy dollars a month.

950
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: Now.

951
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's true. I'm only going by

952
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 2: our friend chat GPT. But you see what people were

953
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 2: paying back then, you know, as far as what the

954
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 2: dollars were back then compared to what they are now,

955
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 2: and it's like wow. But of course, you know, people

956
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 2: back then weren't They didn't have cell phone bills and

957
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 2: internet bills and all the other bills that people have

958
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 2: right out door dash. But what you're seeing is for

959
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 2: some car manufacturers access inventory. That's when you'll see these

960
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 2: zero percent financing deals come out. When the dealerships are saying, hey,

961
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 2: we got a lot of cars we got to move out.

962
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 2: Sales aren't what they what they have been, and so

963
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 2: they need an incentive to get people to buy vehicles,

964
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 2: and that's where you'll see the zero percent stuff come out.

965
00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: But the bigger issue is that everyone agrees nothing is

966
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: looking great now. I am optimistic that I think that

967
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,280
Speaker 1: the not great is short term. You've seen the layoffs

968
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: from ups, You've seen the layoffs from Amazon, seventeen thousand

969
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: from Verizon get Ready. According to my sources, more big

970
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: tech layoffs are coming because also people are relying on

971
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: AI more, even though it may not be reliable, they're

972
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: gonna give it a go and they're gonna go down

973
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: that road. I think that all this talk about all

974
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: the investment coming to the US, if we actually start

975
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: seeing money flow, things turn around very very quickly. So

976
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 1: I think that the next six months really until let's

977
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: call it June twenty twenty six, I think that's not fun.

978
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,720
Speaker 1: It might it might go earlier, it might go longer,

979
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: but I think that's where the real key pain is.

980
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 1: It could be.

981
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 2: I think also that because there's been just so much

982
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 2: bad news recently, you know, in the in the news

983
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 2: cycle that people just aren't feeling very good in general

984
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 2: about anything, and that usually translates into spending. Hopefully, you know, holidays,

985
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 2: we'll change people's mood a little bit and we will

986
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 2: see better spending numbers.

987
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: Consumer spending.

988
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 2: Then maybe we were we were thinking originally.

989
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: Eat Drink Smoke. You did your cigar bourbon foody extravaganza.

990
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm Tony Katz, that is fingers. Will I find everything

991
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: at Eat Drink Smoke show dot com. We have taken

992
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 1: it easy this Thanksgiving weekend. It was a long week

993
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of food cooked in, a lot of

994
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,919
Speaker 1: food and a lot of family dealt with, and we're

995
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: taking it easy this weekend, just like you are. So

996
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: we picked a cigar we already knew. This is the

997
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 1: Artora Fronte rare pink sophisticated hooker seven and a quarter

998
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:52,760
Speaker 1: by fifty three ring gauge. You could argue a retail

999
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: price on this, but it's very hard to find retail price.

1000
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna spend twenty five thirty thirty five bucks for

1001
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: this day. That's what you're gonna find when you find it.

1002
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: If you have a chance. They come out once a year.

1003
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: Try it, see if it works for you. There's a

1004
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: bunch of different looks to this, a bunch of different

1005
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: shapes Vitola's of this cigar. I happened to like this

1006
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: one with the Ecuadorian habano rapper. Nice bit of spice

1007
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 1: which is still their fingers. Molloy, The spice is still there,

1008
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: mellow to touch. You had mentioned, Hey, I get a

1009
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,720
Speaker 1: little bit more of a wood, but there there's there's

1010
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: a there's a there's a big miss to this cigar,

1011
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: but not overwhelming. I think that the spice on this

1012
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 1: is worthwhile. It isn't pepper bomb. It's playing more than

1013
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: that white pepper. I enjoy. I happen to enjoy the stick.

1014
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do as well. Uh, you're right, the spice

1015
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 2: picked up, that wood is there. The we're what midway

1016
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,439
Speaker 2: through this, the second third of this cigar. We lit

1017
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 2: this up a little over in an hour nine years ago, correct,

1018
00:56:55,840 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 2: so we may get two hours out of this. Yeah.

1019
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 2: So yeah at seventeen dollars. If you can find it

1020
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 2: for seventeen dollars a stick, you jump on it.

1021
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, because that was the original MSRP on this thing,

1022
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 1: seventeen seventy.

1023
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 2: Five thirty if it's you see it for thirty dollars

1024
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 2: a stick, what do you think me?

1025
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 1: I pick it up. I pick it up. But admittedly

1026
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: I do buy this by the box. When I see

1027
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: a box, I buy the whole box.

1028
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, yes, please hold And like you said for

1029
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 2: the best of lists of twenty twenty five, for our

1030
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 2: cigar and bourbon picks, one of your main themes.

1031
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: You say it all the time. Money money when it

1032
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: comes to the best of which we will do at

1033
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: the end of December, actually the beginning of January is

1034
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: when we do our best of lists. I do not

1035
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: look at value. We've talked a lot about, as you mentioned,

1036
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: value in bourbon and cigars this year and the cost

1037
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: when wear prices have gone. When I decide what is

1038
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: the best thing to be smoking and drinking, I don't

1039
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: worry about the dollars. I'm like, this worked, so I

1040
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to that when it comes to the

1041
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: best of list and what we're drinking. I have a

1042
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: bourbon coming out West Fork Whiskey, which is located here

1043
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: in Central Indiana where I live. West Fork Whiskey dot Com.

1044
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: I have done a barrel pick with them. I've done

1045
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: one of these before with a good group called Hotel

1046
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: Tango Tango Dissillery. And so this is West Fork Whiskey

1047
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: and part of their old Hamer line. This is an

1048
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: eleven year bourbon coming in a one hundred and twenty

1049
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: seven point six proof. Absolutely thrilled with it. Can't wait

1050
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: to see it on the shelves, which should be in

1051
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks from now. So absolutely there for Christmas,

1052
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,919
Speaker 1: for the holidays to enjoy. I don't have a price

1053
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: to give anybody yet on this per bottle. I just

1054
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: cannot wait to bring this to everyone, bring this presentation.

1055
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm a fan. You had a little bit of water

1056
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: to yours, Yes, go right ahead, give that a little

1057
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: sip right there. Now. Water will bring down proof and

1058
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 1: this is one hundred and twenty seven point six. Water

1059
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: also opens it up some flavors, more pronounced, some more muted.

1060
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: That's that's what you get by adding a water to it. Oh,

1061
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: it added to it. Added to the heat. You it's

1062
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: too much heat for you? No, do you need to

1063
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: burn you? No?

1064
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 2: I won't subject to eat drink smoke nation to my dulcin.

1065
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: Tones if that's what you want to call it.

1066
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, But here's what I will say. This pairing is

1067
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 2: not for the faint of heart.

1068
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: No, no big cigar, big bourbon. Uh.

1069
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 2: That brought out for me even more of the sting.

1070
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: Tongue.

1071
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting because you say butter scotch, and I

1072
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 2: can see that. To me, it's a combination of chocolate

1073
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 2: and oak. Okay, but you can if I sit here,

1074
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 2: you could talk me into butterscotch.

1075
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: Uh.

1076
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 2: This hits you in a way that I I told

1077
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 2: Tony off the air. It actually made me tear up

1078
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 2: a little bit. But I would argue it's not because

1079
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 2: it's one hundred and twenty seven proof that sting hits you.

1080
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 2: But it's not like an ethanol sting to the tongue.

1081
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's there, and it's lively and it's

1082
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 2: really enjoyable. Now could I drink more than one of these?

1083
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 2: I could. I probably wouldn't, but I could. I really

1084
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 2: like it. I like stuff like this. Is this an

1085
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 2: everyday drinker for me? When you start getting into one

1086
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 2: hundred and you know twenty one hundred and thirty proof, No,

1087
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 2: it's not an everyday drink for me, But yeah, it

1088
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 2: would be in my liquor cabinet. And I'm not just

1089
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 2: saying this because it's yours. I yeah, I don't care

1090
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 2: if you are. I think I'm totally fine with that.

Speaker 1: Friday DEFIANCEPEF dot com.

1111
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 2: You looked, I looked, and there are a couple of

1112
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 2: deals when you compare it, or at least one I'm

1113
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 2: seeing right off the bad.

1114
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. So CNN said they had hand picked Black Friday deals,

1115
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 1: and we said, could these individuals, the so called experts,

1116
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 1: do it better than AI and fingers will always gonna

1117
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: find out.

1118
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 2: So from retailers and tech guides from chat GPT, number

1119
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 2: two on the list here. First, number one on the

1120
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 2: list was AirPods Pro second Gen for one thirty nine

1121
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 2: at Walmart. Then number two on the list is AirPods

1122
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 2: Pro three all time low two hundred and twenty dollars

1123
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 2: at best Buy. So at the CNN piece, it was

1124
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty dollars on Amazon. Now a lot

1125
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 2: of these places they will do a price match and

1126
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 2: they know that that's going to happen. Some of the

1127
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 2: other deals that chat GPT brought up was a MacBook

1128
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 2: Air thirteen inch with the M four chips seven hundred

1129
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 2: and forty nine dollars early Black Friday deal at Yahoo

1130
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 2: Shopping Samsung.

1131
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: Wait, it was a thirteen inch MacBook air M four.

1132
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: How much was it? Seven hundred and forty nine dollars. Yep,

1133
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: that's what they've got here. I think they made this

1134
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: list with AI. Could very well be that. I don't

1135
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to disparage you CNN. I'll let others

1136
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 1: do that. But that's exactly what they've got right here.

1137
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 1: Seven hundred and fifty bucks for a brand new laptop.

1138
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 2: So going down this list, see if anything matches up.

1139
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 2: Ninja appliances at Walmart, they're offering up to fifty percent

1140
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 2: off certain categories.

1141
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: By the way, can Ninja do no wrong? It's unbelievable

1142
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 1: what they're doing with the air fryar there, the crispy

1143
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: and now they've got so they've always had a good

1144
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: coffee maker. I used to have a Ninja coffee maker,

1145
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: and now they've got a Ninja'spresso machine, the full thing.

1146
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 1: And I seriously considered getting one because I do. I

1147
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: absolutely trust the Ninja brand one thousand percent.

1148
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 2: Well, the other thing we're talking about, you know, we're

1149
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 2: finishing the basement. Yeah, and we're talking about getting one

1150
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 2: of those slushy machines that I believe Ninja makes.

1151
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: Though. Stop, you're now officially in the new house. You're finished.

1152
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna have the basement all done up. And the

1153
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 1: thing that you're going to add is a slushy machine.

1154
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 2: One of several things we're going to add, shuffle board table,

1155
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 2: poker table, maybe even a couple of poker machines.

1156
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 1: Wait, hold on, you know this is a poker table.

1157
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: You flip this over, it's a poker table. Oh, the

1158
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 1: table we use for you drink smoke if you turn

1159
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 1: this over. I have not done a poker nute should do?

1160
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: You want to do one?

1161
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 2: I would be all for that.

1162
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna need some electronic card shufflers.

1163
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 2: But the slushy machine I believe Ninja makes that you

1164
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 2: do where you can put alcohol in it, and but

1165
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 2: you can also make virgin slushies. All you have to

1166
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 2: do is push a button to add the booze. I

1167
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 2: believe is how it works. We're talking about getting one

1168
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 2: of those. You're right, Ninja can do no wrong.

1169
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: The Ninja slushy with rapid chill rapid chill technology.

1170
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five, that's the key tone.

1171
01:04:55,280 --> 01:05:03,479
Speaker 1: How are they not a sponsor? It's me. We've discussed many,

1172
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: many times that the streaming costs are radical, and part

1173
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 1: of the issue is you have every streaming service known

1174
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: to man and beast, and it's no longer cheaper than cable.

1175
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: But the amount of people who have cables down to

1176
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 1: fifty percent of it is it of the country or

1177
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 1: fifty percent at the height, we're now fifty percent.

1178
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 2: No, now we're at fifty percent. It was much higher.

1179
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 1: Okay, fifty percent of the country or okay, fifty percent

1180
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 1: of the country. It's eat Rink Smoke. I'm Tony Katz.

1181
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: That's fingers from the while. You find it all at

1182
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: Eat Drinks Smoke show dot com. How many more people

1183
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: will stick with cable as they start losing channels because

1184
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: they're channels that are just they're going to go away.

1185
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: And one of the biggest one is MTV, the juggernaut.

1186
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 1: The thing that changed everything, quite the disruptor of disruptors

1187
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: was MTV changed music. And if you listen to there's

1188
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: a fantastic doctmentary about yacht Rock. Yacht Rock Documentary. I

1189
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: think it's on Amazon. It's so good, really it's so good.

1190
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: It's so good. And one of the things they discuss

1191
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 1: is when MTV came around, it no longer mattered what

1192
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: the music was. It mattered what the look was. And

1193
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys who were these seventies and

1194
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 1: early eighties musicians, they you couldn't put them on TV.

1195
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 1: They looked weird, they weren't rock and roll in that

1196
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: in that kind of way, and so it was all

1197
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: about the performance of the video and not so much

1198
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: about the music itself. So changed things. But this is

1199
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: going away. Paramount, which owns MTV, might put them into

1200
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: smaller channels on Paramount Plus Right, less and less, Team

1201
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: Nick and Cartoon Network most probably going away. Direct TV

1202
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 1: didn't have it in its new entertainment package, but they

1203
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 1: did include adult Swim. And there are so many places

1204
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: now to see the stuff. You don't you don't need it,

1205
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: you don't want it. It doesn't have the value that

1206
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 1: it had. I guess I'd wonder whether or not cable

1207
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: still holds any value for people. But again, this is

1208
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: about the money. Is it's it's we've decided that it's

1209
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 1: not about choices. It's about the choices you want to make.

1210
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: I still have not seen that there's any slowing in

1211
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: the streaming services of I had to make a decision,

1212
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: and these these are the ones that I chose. I

1213
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: went through and I looked, and part of it's because

1214
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: of what I do. I keep tabs on things. Part

1215
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 1: of it is because this one likes this and this

1216
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 1: one likes that I do. I have Hulu, Disney ESPN,

1217
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: I have Netflix, I have Peacock, I have Paramount Plus,

1218
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 1: I have Apple TV. I think I have another on

1219
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 1: I have Amazon Prime. So that's six. I have these

1220
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: six things. And it's that's dumb, right, Like that's just crazed.

1221
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: It feels like you have.

1222
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 2: To, though, if you because there are these streaming services

1223
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 2: have just enough exclusive content that are big hits where you, oh,

1224
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 2: you can only watch this on you know, you name

1225
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 2: the show that's only on Apple TV, or that's only

1226
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 2: on HBO and.

1227
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 1: So HBO Max. I have Hbo Max. Oh, that's what

1228
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: it is.

1229
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 2: So it feels like you have to if you want

1230
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 2: to keep up on television shows that are popular, especially

1231
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,600
Speaker 2: if you're you want to stay topical and actually know

1232
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 2: something about pop culture. You know, it feels like you

1233
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 2: have to. But I wonder with some of these networks

1234
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 2: like and I freely admit I have not turned it

1235
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 2: tuned into cartoon Network in a long time.

1236
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 1: Oh, you're missing out.

1237
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 2: But some of these networks where they're not getting as

1238
01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 2: much revenue from cable TV as they used to. If

1239
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,799
Speaker 2: because these streaming services have deep pockets, if they're stealing

1240
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 2: the best talent and the best content, where it's making

1241
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 2: these networks useless to where all they're running is repeats

1242
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 2: of shows that were made fifteen years ago. Well, you

1243
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 2: don't need that anymore. You can pill it most of

1244
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 2: that up stuff on demand.

1245
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 1: Does streaming really have the best content? They have nine

1246
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: million pieces of content, and there are really good shows

1247
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 1: that don't get a second season. The amount of times

1248
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: my wife and I've been like, what do you mean

1249
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 1: there's not a second season of named the thing coming out?

1250
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: Really good stuff because the cost is too much. It's

1251
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 1: not a viewership to it. So I don't know. I

1252
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:48,639
Speaker 1: don't know if they're getting the very very best stuff.

1253
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,680
Speaker 1: But this one has this, and that one has that.

1254
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 1: But how many people are getting streaming because well, the

1255
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 1: streaming is where I get Thursday night football on Peacock

1256
01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 1: and oh, my gosh, look look how angry you.

1257
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 2: And that's only gonna get worse. Oh, yes it will,

1258
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 2: because you've got networks that are struggling to come up

1259
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 2: with the cash to cover these ridiculously high broadcast contracts

1260
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 2: for the NFL, where streaming services are are standing on

1261
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 2: the sideline saying I've.

1262
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: Got the money. I've got the money.

1263
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:19,799
Speaker 2: And so you know, I know we brought this up before,

1264
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 2: but my poor father, you know, having to navigate through

1265
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 2: the NFL season. Say okay, well this game dad, that's

1266
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 2: not on locally on the on on cable, You've got

1267
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 2: to go to Prime Video or you that's exclusively on Peacock,

1268
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 2: and you go down the list. For the people who

1269
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 2: are traditional cable consumers, especially seasoned citizens, it's this is

1270
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 2: there are going to be some tough waters to navigate.

1271
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:53,639
Speaker 1: The sports thing. So you have you have the YouTube

1272
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 1: stuff where you watch football.

Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I've got NFL Sunday tickets.

1274
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: So don't you have to have YouTube TV in order

1275
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: to get a NFL Sunday tickets? You don't, Okay, I

1276
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: thought you did, because YouTube TV is like eighty two

1277
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: dollars a month.

1278
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 2: Now they give you a discount I believe on Sunday

1279
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 2: ticket if you have YouTube TV, but you can pay

1280
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:19,719
Speaker 2: full price for NFL Sunday ticket and watch it on YouTube.

1281
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:21,839
Speaker 1: And how much is NFL Sunday Ticket?

1282
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 2: Oh, good lord, it's I think it was five hundred dollars. Yeah,

1283
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 2: but see maybe even more than that. That's insane five

1284
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 2: hundred dollars.

1285
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna try and rationalize, and then I realized,

1286
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 1: I can't do that. That's a crazy, crazy amount of loot.

1287
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:45,759
Speaker 2: Well, I understand what you're saying.

1288
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 1: Oh, and I have fan Dual Sports Network for the

1290
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: sponsor of EA Drink Smoke so I can afford all

1291
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 1: these streaming services. If you're a non.

1292
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 2: YouTube TV subscriber, I think it is close to five

1293
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 2: hundred dollars, And like I said, they give you a discount.

1294
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 2: But if you're the type of person that loves your

1295
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 2: football team and you're an out of market fan like

1296
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 2: I am. Even though because my Detroit Lions are are good,

1297
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 2: not as good as they were last year, but they're good,

1298
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 2: I could see probably eight to ten games a year

1299
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 2: locally here in Indianapolis either because they're a national game,

1300
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 2: they're on Monday night football, Sunday night football, Thursday night football,

1301
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 2: or because we're regionally in the area, you know, they

1302
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 2: may choose the Lions game in the early window if

1303
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 2: the Colts aren't playing. But yeah, the alternative is, if

1304
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 2: you're a huge football fan, you go to a bar, right.

1305
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 2: You know, if you go to a bar twelve thirteen

1306
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,760
Speaker 2: times a year to why your team, you're gonna spend

1307
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 2: more than five hundred dollars by the time you have

1308
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 2: some beers. But you're just gonna sit in the beer

1309
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 2: and sit in the bar, watch your game and have

1310
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 2: one beer. You're gonna order some drinks. You're gonna order

1311
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 2: all the bar food. Fried fried with a side of

01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:24,680
Speaker 2: in front of me right now, or some fried pickles.

1316
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: On your rings. By the way, fried pickles are the

1317
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 1: thing like like, that's like a fifty to fifty thing

Speaker 2: the fried mushrooms too. People either love those or they

1321
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 2: absolutely can't stand them.

1322
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 1: It's the mushroom is in and of itself watery, and

1323
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 1: sometimes that that feel is not so not so great. Man.
