1
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: So there I was over the weekend, and I was

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: hosting an event.

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: For a few hundred people, and I was doing a presentation,

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: and and in in the presentation, uh I I incorporate

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: a tremendous amount of bourbon bourbon for everybody.

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: And the people who supply me the bourbon, Mike and Jim.

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 2: Uh they they said, hey, we got something for you

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: for your table, and uh walks over, walks over the box.

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 3: Got it?

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: I got it right here, I got walks over with

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: a box. Nice sniss. Is the Jack Daniels Sinatra.

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: Tea drink smoke. I'm Tony Katz. That's America's favorite amateur drinker.

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: Fingers maloy and uh yes, it's a it's a lovely,

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: lovely box in the interior, uh, with with the little

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: book and the story of.

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: Sinatra, and then a place for the bourbon.

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: It's a one liter bottle, ladies, and Johnny coming in

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: at ninety proof. No applause, but it is the Sinatra, So,

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: oh my god, he makes the exception.

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: Luck be lady, two nights.

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: Shut chat shut, Sammy, bring the car around, which I'm

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: pretty sure God said, I'm just going to say that

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: right there.

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: The Sinatra is like for some people the Holy Grail.

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: There is a real, real love of what this is.

26
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: And this isn't bourbon, of course, this is Tennessee whiskey

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: because it is Jack Daniels eighty percent corn, eight percent

28
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: rye twelve percent malted barley or it's just just say

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: twelve percent barley aged five to seven years. And there's

30
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: a whole style in which how they do the barrel.

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: They kind of cut these grooves into the middle of

32
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: the barrel and then you know after I think it's

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: after the char and so you have different types of

34
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: wood hitting the.

35
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: Juice right here.

36
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: But it is, it is is the rarer find the

37
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: Jack Daniel sinatra is one of the rarer things.

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: And and it's it is this.

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: I mean that is just a deep, a deeper orange

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: right there. It's almost apple juice color.

41
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: Is where we are with this. And what's weird is,

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, normally Jack Daniels is that banana knows right,

43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: that banana flavor.

44
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: It's it's so outrageously distinctive, but it's I don't get

45
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: it from this. So it's a little breadier, it's a

46
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: little richer, a little a little fuller, a little more.

47
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: It's a little more cake for me than it is

48
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 3: more fruit banana. Okay, I guess is the way to

49
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 3: put some The banana is there for me, but it's fainter. Also,

50
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: you get some oak, a little bit faint oak, and

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: for me vanilla.

52
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, a touch of vanilla. Touch of vanilla. By the way,

53
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: this groove idea.

54
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: If you don't want to get yourself a bottle of

55
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: the Jack Daniel Sinatra, we'll go over costs in a minute.

56
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: According to the people at the bourbonculture dot com, the

57
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: same barrel process is used on Cooper's craft, the one

58
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: hundred proof, and we have had that bourbon before because

59
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: it's made by Old Forester, which is Brown Foreman, same

60
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: group of people as Jack Daniels. But it's the nose

61
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: does not overwhelm. No, it's it's flavorful, but it doesn't

62
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: have any particular punch to it. I can't say that

63
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: I'm getting a great bit of oak on it. I

64
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: could argue there's a little bit of a citrus kind

65
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: of kind of movement going on there, but that's that

66
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: is really it.

67
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: I'm starting to worry that I'm getting the cold that

68
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: you had a couple of weeks ago.

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: You're not picking things up.

70
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: No, I'm starting to get a little stuffed up. I

71
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: to the point where it makes me want to sneeze.

72
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: But I can still pick things up. But it's weird

73
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: that banana hits me first. But I don't know if

74
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 3: it's just because I've got Jack Daniels on the brain,

75
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: and you know this is all just psychological. But once

76
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: you get in there, it's the first hint is banana.

77
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: But it's not nearly as strong as what I would

78
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: expect from Jack Daniels.

79
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's the it's it's it's more cake. There's

80
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: more of a citrus right going on.

81
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: But you know what it's. It's enough A sniff and

82
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: fingers from WY. Are you ready for this?

83
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 3: I've been ready for well, for Sinatra. I've been ready

84
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 3: for this all my life.

85
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: The Jack Daniels Sinatra right here, the Sinatra select bold, smooth,

86
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 2: classic Tennessee whiskey.

87
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: Fingers from WY is doing what's known as the Kentucky chew,

88
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: moving the.

89
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: Juice around the palette, really trying to get a feel

90
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: for it. I'm a believer in the two SIPs methodology.

91
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: The first tip to set the taste buds. The second

92
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: tip to really.

93
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: Get an idea of the flavors.

94
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 4: What say you fingers, Well, there's definitely Uh, I would say,

95
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 4: what that banana as if you happen to be Inhaling

96
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 4: as you take it, Uh, you know the taste, Uh,

97
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 4: you'll get that.

98
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 3: But there's no real banana flavor on the palate. It's

99
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: a i'd say a little bit of baking spice. Uh,

100
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: there's some oak, maybe some cherry. Uh, it's a pal Yes,

101
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 3: it's very good. It's it's it's it's very good. And uh,

102
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: I'm going back and forth. Maybe a little bit of

103
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: brown sugar. Okay, so you're you're giving the sweet a name.

104
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I'm going in, going in, he's the

105
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 2: Sinatra from Jack Daniels to Your Health.

106
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: To your Health. He's going in, ladies and gentlemen, and

107
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: he's doing what we like to call the Sagonna swish.

108
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 3: Maybe some cinnamon on the finish, not just swish, the

109
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: Sinatra swish there is.

110
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm going back. I'll good for you.

111
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 3: Once again, going in and he's doing the Memphis munch.

112
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: H I a rat pack row ninety proof huh ninety

113
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: nice little bit of sting on the tongue.

114
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it plays bigger than ninety I do.

115
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: I think you're right about Are you right about cherry?

116
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: You might be.

117
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: It's it's a it's a big fruit. There's a lot

118
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: of depth to the to the fruit. That's that's that's

119
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: that's going on there.

120
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: It's it has a little bit of spice and that

121
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: that certainly stays so the middle tongue going back in

122
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 2: only now do I get any kind of warmth in

123
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: in the chest?

124
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: There there is a sweetness that's kind of like a

125
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: that's not dark chocolate, that's not chocolate. Is that chocolate?

126
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: There are?

127
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: There are a couple of different layers of sweetness that

128
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: are going on. I'm wondering is that that's not nutty either?

129
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: And you do you do get a little bit of

130
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: vanilla in there? There is I think a little bit

131
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: of that kind of working its way through. It's got

132
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: a little bit of mouthfield to it, a little bit

133
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: of richness in the cheek.

134
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 3: Did you get any cinnamon unfinished it all?

135
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: No?

136
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, you must have a problem.

137
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: Probably it could be you. It probably it could probably

138
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: be you. My issue because I've had this snatcher before

139
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: I appreciate what Jack has done here. Fingers moly, is

140
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: this in your.

141
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: Liquor cabinet for one hundred and fifty five dollars? Now?

142
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely not? Now it's a leader, not a seven fifty.

143
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: No.

144
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I like what they've done here, and it

145
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: is a a unique presentation, but man, is it not

146
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: my speed? It has never been my speed.

147
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: And when they brought it to me for the event,

148
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I'm gonna try, of course, because I

149
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: was happy to give it another go.

150
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: Nope, Oh, listen, I like this one hundred and fifty

151
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: dollars a bottle. I love Sonati, I love Sinatra, I

152
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: love the rat pack. It would look cool on a mantle.

153
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 3: But man, for the juice one hundred and fifty dollars now.

154
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: Fifty five dollars? Oh well, definitely. No. I think there

155
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: are other Jack things I'd want to do. I really,

156
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: I really do. But we're gonna put it on a

157
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: cube and find out.

158
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: Let us talk about the state of tipping, which, as

159
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: we have discussed and you have experienced in your life,

160
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: has become freaking ridiculous.

161
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, drink smoke. Ops, Oh no, okay, you can say yes, whoops.

162
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: Yes, drink smoke. We should have had rehearsal. I'm Tony Katz.

163
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: That's America's favorite amateur drinker. Fingers with bloy because there

164
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: was the story over there from Fox News that we

165
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 2: found on the New York Post five most and least

166
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: generous tipping states, right who's good at tipping?

167
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: Who is terrible at at at at at giving the

168
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: giving the tips? Right there?

169
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: And it turns out South Carolina is the top of

170
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: the tipping world, giving twenty point seven to one percent,

171
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: the only state to pass the twenty percent threshold.

172
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: And then after that it's Wisconsin, Connecticut, Maryland, and Nevada.

173
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: But on the other end.

174
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: You go to Illinois, then Alaska, New York, Virginia, and

175
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: then Oregon as the least generous state right there at

176
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: only thirteen percent is what it is.

177
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: They tip.

178
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: You can play a lot with this and talk about

179
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: the politics of the state, and you can do the.

180
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: Whole sorts, do the whole thing you could. You could

181
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 3: play politics with this all you want, well, I would want.

182
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: Let's take the state of Oregon. We don't know what,

183
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 3: off the top of our heads, what the wage laws

184
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: are there as far.

185
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: As the minimum wage higher.

186
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then some states I believe, or at least

187
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: some cities have enacted where you have to pay you

188
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 3: know how some you know, weight staff. A lot of

189
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 3: times they'll only make three or four dollars an hour,

190
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 3: and then they make most of their money on tips

191
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: some restaurants. Maybe some states have made companies go ahead

192
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 3: and force them to pay a higher wage. So people

193
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: are saying, well, the tip is folded into the bill

194
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: already tipping.

195
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: As much, so that could be it as well.

196
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: By the way, in Oregon, the new laws come and

197
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 2: effect July twenty twenty six, where the standard rate will

198
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: be fifteen.

199
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: Dollars and five cents an hour. That's the minimum wage.

200
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: Non urban counties are fourteen dollars and five cents an hour,

201
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: and then in Portland, the Portland metro area, it's sixteen

202
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: dollars and thirty cents an hour, which that alone ends

203
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: the conversation of this living wage thing, because they're saying

204
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 2: you can get less money in non urban areas because

205
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: it costs less to live, so therefore there's no such

206
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: things as a living wage, right, It's all mythology. But

207
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: the real issue here is that we have destroyed tipping

208
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: by demanding tips everywhere, always a machine. Do you want

209
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 2: to leave a tip? Do you want to leave this?

210
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 2: Do you want to leave that? And the answer is no.

211
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: Yet none of these people have learned that it's damaging

212
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: to the customer. And I can only conclude that the

213
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: only reason they haven't learned is that people are tipping less,

214
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 2: but they're tipping more often. So the percentage no to

215
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: your point, right, you make a good point. I'm going

216
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 2: in a different direction. The percentage could be down, but

217
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 2: the amount of tipping is up because every damn machine

218
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 2: kiosk nonsense for cock.

219
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: The craziness is saying, would you like to leave a tip?

220
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: Do you care? Or are you low life scumbag?

221
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: Huh?

222
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: Everybody's watching.

223
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,479
Speaker 3: Well. And what makes it worse is when the cashier

224
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: will not to cash here, the waiter or waitress cashes

225
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: you out and has the machine right there. Oh, the

226
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 3: machine is going to ask you a question, but I'm

227
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 3: not looking what the answer is. But they got one

228
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: eye on the machine looking what the answer is. I'm

229
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 3: gonna tip you anyway, but it's like they're standing right

230
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 3: over you as you're writing what the tip is going?

231
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: To be. So that's it's a violation.

232
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the reason for that is that it's about

233
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 2: card safety. Right, You're no longer giving your card to

234
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: a total stranger who you also trusted to bring you

235
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: food that wasn't spit in, or we can go full

236
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: South Park and and and then they walk away with

237
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: the card and you're like, well, what did they do.

238
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: In my card? Where'd they take my card? Which is

239
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: that with my card?

240
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 2: And so this way the card is safer because it's

241
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: never out of your eyesight or possession.

242
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: Then print a receipt for me to be able to

243
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 3: fill out the rest of the information necessary to pay

244
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 3: my bill instead of you standing over me with the

245
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: tablet in my hand looking to see what I'm tipping.

246
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 2: And you've only given me three options two percent or mortgage.

247
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: That's the you're you're you're not You're not wrong about that.

248
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 2: The the tipping culture is a problem, and I do

249
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: think it's it is abusive, but I don't and I

250
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: by the way, you hear crazy stories where shop owners

251
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: keep the tips.

252
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: Have you heard these? Oh? Yeah, that stuff is so

253
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: messed up.

254
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 3: I'll tell you another thing you need to start looking

255
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: at to our fees that are added to a bill

256
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: that you don't know what they are. And I'll give

257
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 3: you an example. Over the weekend, I was at a

258
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: hotel and spent the night and then charged a meal

259
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: and some drinks from the bar to my room. Right

260
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: and I woke up the next day and I looked

261
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 3: at the folio Industry lingo and there was a thirty

262
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: dollars service charge from the bar. And I said, I

263
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: don't know what this is. What a thirty dollars? Just

264
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 3: said the name of the bar, service charge thirty dollars.

265
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: And I said to myself, I have no idea what

266
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: this is. And if I would have just you know

267
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: a lot of people when they stay at a hotel,

268
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 3: they'll just leave and not check out, not get the bill,

269
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: and be surprised later. And well, I called the front desk.

270
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: I said, what is this thirty dollars service charge? They

271
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 3: put me on hold for about two minutes, came back

272
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: and said, we don't know what that service charge is,

273
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: so we will wave it. No. Yeah, So they waved

274
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: the thirty dollars service charge and I said, thank you

275
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: very much. Since you don't know what it is, it's

276
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 3: nice of you to wave it and I walked away happy.

277
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 3: But if I wouldn't have looked at the folio and

278
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 3: then called down, I would have been charged.

279
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: Thirty front desk said, we don't know what it is.

280
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: Yes, we don't know what it just says the restaurant

281
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 3: the bar service charge. And we're like, we don't know

282
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 3: what this is. And being that the bar wasn't open

283
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: because it was eleven thirty in the morning.

284
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: Assuming it's the bar giving itself the tip for the

285
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: server because you charged it to the room.

286
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 3: But I left, They still give you paperwork to fill out,

287
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: and I filled out the paperwork when I paid my bill,

288
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: and I put my name in my room number and

289
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 3: the tip and the total, and it wasn't thirty dollars

290
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: on the nose. It was very strange, But thank you

291
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 3: to that hotel for waving that fee that they imposed

292
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: on me.

293
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: That they didn't know what it was.

294
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 3: That is.

295
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I have not seen that you.

296
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: Hear about that in Vegas too, Brando, Vegas can kiss

297
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 3: off and a lot of people are saying Vegas can

298
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: kiss You discuss that many times. But there are fees,

299
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 3: mystery fees where you can ask the restaurant what's this fee?

300
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: And a lot of times they'll wave it. It's crazy

301
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 3: the fees that are added in Las Vegas. So look

302
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: over your bill, whether it is the tip that's That's

303
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: the other thing too, when there's an automatic tip added

304
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 3: to your bill, and if you're not paying attention, you're

305
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: gonna tip on top of the bill and the tip

306
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: that was already added to begin with.

307
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: But those are places where you're expecting to tip. I

308
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: don't want to be asked for a tip at a

309
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: kiosk where I had to do all the work. It's

310
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: not it. It does have to stop.

311
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: It is a be and the only reason I can

312
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 2: come to is that it hasn't stopped is that people

313
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 2: still do it and somehow the places they're making.

314
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: Money off of this.

315
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 3: It's our new normal, Tony.

316
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can do it, your new normal. Tell you

317
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: off the air, do it your normal. Eat drinks, smoke

318
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: it is your cigar, bourbon food, the extravaganza. I'm Tony Kats.

319
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: That's fingers from why you find everything at Eat Drinks,

320
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: Smoke show dot com. You're of the duke or is

321
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: it duque?

322
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 2: From Dunbart and Tobacco and Trust right here this five

323
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 2: by forty eight with the Habano rossatto Ecuadorian rapper, a

324
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: Mexican San Andreas, and the binder filler that's Nicka Roguin

325
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: and Pennsylvania broadleaf. All Right, I got a little une

326
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: even of a burn here. It's probably my fault more

327
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: than any thing else. It's not a big deal. Into

328
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: the final third here five by forty eight, smaller a cigar,

329
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: you have no problem with the burn whatsoever.

330
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've talked me into it.

331
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 3: Just because of my experiences lately with cigars and a

332
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: lot of them being high maintenance. This has been a

333
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 3: delight to smoke. The flavor profile is nice. At seventeen

334
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 3: dollars a stick, I'm probably in. It's wood, there's a

335
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 3: little bit of cocoa, there's pepper. You mentioned it's getting

336
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 3: more tobacco forward as I go into the final third

337
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 3: of the cigar, and.

338
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: No, I'm getting a little more spices. I go into

339
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: the cigar. It's wild.

340
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think I'm in. I would not buy

341
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 3: a box of these, but I think I would have

342
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 3: a couple in my humanity.

343
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 2: But if I buy a box of these and then

344
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: we split it, okay, I do that. Yeah, I'd do that.

345
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: It's a nice stick, it is, and Dunbar and Steve's

346
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: soccer well done. Well played with this.

347
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: It's it.

348
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 2: It's it's not as spice forward as I really thought

349
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: it was going to be with the Habano Rosato Rapper,

350
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 2: but it's it's now at least present.

351
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: It's there, But that initial with the char and I keep.

352
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: Going back to this, which remind me a little bit

353
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 2: of of The Meat Lovers, the Red Meat Lovers that

354
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 2: he does, Steve Soka, Dunbart and Tobacco and Trust.

355
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: I like that.

356
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,959
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start searching that out.

357
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: Can I find cigars that have this little bit of char?

358
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: And You're like, Tony, do you mean burnt?

359
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: I wish I had a better way to kind of

360
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: explain it to people and and and present it to people,

361
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: but this is this is a nice it's a nice stick.

362
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 3: This is.

363
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

364
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 3: Was the Red Meat Lover's a limited release or can

365
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 3: you still get I.

366
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,239
Speaker 2: Think you can still get it. If I remember Red

367
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: Meat Lovers with something that was only going to be

368
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 2: a elbow. It was for an event that he was doing.

369
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was in New Hampshire where

370
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: their home base is or somewhere else, and then so

371
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: many people liked it.

372
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: He introduced it out right, it.

373
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: Was it was.

374
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: Was it for an event on a battleship.

375
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: I think it was where they serve steak this and

376
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: meet that and and everything else, And so I think

377
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: it was for that. And we are drinking the Jack

378
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: Daniels Sinatra coming in at ninety proof right here.

379
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: Now, I got a cube where I'm gonna dump it in.

380
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's got a lot of fruit to it,

381
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: a little bit of that traditional banana on the nose.

382
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: It's there. There's nothing wrong with it. It's just not

383
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: my flavor profile as it is neat. But I moved

384
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: into a cube. You added a little bit of water

385
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: to yours. Let me let me go in here.

386
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 3: He's going in ladies and gentlemen, and he's doing, uh

387
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 3: what we call this week the Sinatra swish.

388
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.

389
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, it smoothed out a little bit, right, It's definitely

390
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 2: got a little bit smoother. I keep saying, is that

391
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: chocolate that I get dark chocolate?

392
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: You said, cherry.

393
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: I think there's something too there. I'm a little more

394
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 2: just fruit in general going on. There's a little bit

395
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 2: of richness, a touch of mouthfeel. But in the end,

396
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 2: and by the way, the ice on the cube a

397
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 2: little more oak, which I appreciate. This is not my

398
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: flavor profile. It's not my flavor profile. And one hundred

399
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 2: and fifty five dollars a bottle. It is a one leader,

400
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: but one hundred and fifty five dollars a bottle. There

401
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: are Jack products for thirty two bucks. The triple mash

402
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: is what I'm thinking of. I would I would absolutely.

403
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: Do over this.

404
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: I just listen. I like this, but we're talking one

405
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars. I mean, I guess it's one

406
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 3: of those splurge bottles. It's cool to have. The box

407
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 3: is cool to have, yeah, you know, on your mantle.

408
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 3: But that's that's just it's two orch for my blood.

409
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 3: But now I'm going to go in. I took my

410
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 3: eye drop it, and I took a couple of drops

411
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 3: of cool water, and I did not use a drop

412
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 3: or stop lying to people.

413
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: Stop that. Now, water will bring down proof. That's what

414
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: water does, and same thing with a cube.

415
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: But what it does is some flavors more pronounced, some heightened,

416
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: some a little more subdued, and that's why you got

417
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: try it and all the ways to see bourbon that

418
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: doesn't work if you unique could work for.

419
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: You in a cube and vice versa.

420
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 3: It brought out little bit more that kind of that

421
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 3: baking spice, and to me, it enhanced the sting even more.

422
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 3: Really yeah, which I wasn't expecting. There's oak there, a

423
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 3: brown sugar like a cherry, like a dark cherry.

424
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: Listen.

425
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 3: I like it, I really do. This is just all

426
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: a value conversation. And when you could buy five bottles

427
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 3: of jack for one bottle of this, I just can't

428
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 3: do it.

429
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: There it is, that's all there is to it. Yeah,

430
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: for me, it is it is. There is a dollar conversation,

431
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: but it's just it's just not my it's not my juice.

432
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: And I feel bad. I feel bad, but honesty above everything.

433
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 3: This isn't going to get back to Sinatra, is it.

434
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: Well, he's watching right now. It's time fingers with LOI

435
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: for News of the week.

436
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 3: So I have a story from CNBC Tony that makes

437
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: absolutely no sense to me at all. Okay, because we

438
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 3: have been talking for months now about the affordability crisis

439
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: and how people are struggling to pay their bills and afordability. Yes,

440
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 3: that's what people are saying. And yet CNBC reports that

441
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 3: there's research done by the black Rock Foundation and Commonwealth

442
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 3: that says since twenty twenty, the number of low and

443
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 3: moderate income investors has increased one hundred and sixty seven percent.

444
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: Wait stop, walk me back through it. This is from CNBC.

445
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 3: Yes, and this story reads that what now, since twenty twenty,

446
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 3: the number of low and moderate income investors has increased

447
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty seven percent.

448
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: Okay, that's not data. Data has to come from the

449
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: follow up question. I do not know if it's in

450
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 2: the article.

451
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: I actually just pulled it up. What age group? What

452
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: age group are we talking about here?

453
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: Because low and moderate income investors who are gen Z

454
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 2: and just starting out in life, this is very very

455
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: interesting that they see.

456
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: Their economic future having.

457
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 2: One and they're seeing what the markets can do, whether

458
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: they're finding stuff on YouTube or on Instagram other places,

459
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 2: TikTok videos where they're getting advice, ideas, etc. Or Is

460
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: this is this gen X and boomers trying to engage

461
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 2: in some level of catch up thinking that they're going

462
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: to live for freaking Ever, it does not have from

463
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: what I see here a breakdown as far as the

464
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: age of the investors. But what it does say is

465
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: the reasons why there is much more information out there

466
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: for people to make intelligent decisions on investing. And then

467
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: on top of it, there are many more avenues.

468
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 3: On which to invest, particularly through apps. May get much

469
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 3: easier for people to invest, but it's been.

470
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: Easier for the last twenty years. The apps have been there.

471
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 2: Fifteen years, they've been there and has been easier. So

472
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 2: you had said something to me the other day that

473
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 2: you think maybe people are starting to have a little

474
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: more faith in the economy, that maybe some things have

475
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 2: turned a quarter Now. I think that what has happened

476
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: with Iran changes all that. We should get into what's

477
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 2: going on with Iran, and certainly we can only give

478
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 2: you the information we have now and not information that

479
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: might And this is a fluid, fluid situation. I would

480
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 2: like to think that that's true, because that's that's a

481
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 2: nice sign. I don't know if it necessarily is true,

482
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 2: but I would like to think that that's true.

483
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 3: You do you I buy that you see certain apps,

484
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: and I don't have the information on what apps they are.

485
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 3: Off off the top of my head or in front

486
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 3: of me, but where they'll even take when you make

487
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 3: a purchase, they'll round up and then take that money

488
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: and invest it so it may only be thirty cents.

489
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 3: You know, you spend six dollars and seventy cents on something,

490
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 3: they'll take thirty cents, roll it into an account and

491
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 3: over you know time. You know it's a little bit

492
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 3: of money here, a little bit of money there. But

493
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: if you are making several purchases a day, a week,

494
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 3: and a year, that does add up and accounts.

495
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 2: If if you're not teaching your kids about compounding, start

496
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: with anything and just keep at It's all you gotta do.

497
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: Just keep at it, don't look at it every day,

498
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: Just let it cook. Life will be good down the road.

499
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: It will. We do Eat Drink Smoke to avoid the politics.

500
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: We started it this way.

501
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: We both do political radio myself in Indianapolis with a

502
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 2: morning show here and a nationally syndicated radio show Fingers

503
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: Maloy in Michigan, and we wanted Eat Drink Smoke to

504
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 2: be the break and the escape from that. But we

505
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 2: also talk about what's being discussed in the cigar lounge,

506
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 2: and the war in Iran is something that's being discussed

507
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 2: in the cigar lounge, So it's gonna get discussed here.

508
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: It's eat, drink, smoke. I'm Tony Katz. That's America's favorite

509
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: amateur drinker, Fingers Maloy. So this was early last weekend,

510
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: Saturday morning, the United States and Israel engaging in this

511
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 2: coordinated attack against the Iranian regime. You then had the

512
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: announcement from President Trump video announcement the Israeli state, absolutely

513
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: we are involved in this. You had forty high level

514
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 2: members of the Iranian regime taken out, the Ayatola, the Iola, Kammane,

515
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: what was killed. You had Iran pushing back and firing

516
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 2: at neighboring countries like Kuwait and Qatar, countries that would

517
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: normally possibly be on a rand side.

518
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: Well that ended. That is over. This has continued in.

519
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: The days ahead. Now as we are talking to you,

520
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: we only have limited information. It's only been a few days,

521
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: so things absolutely can change. But the real as we

522
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: bring this part of the story is not whether or

523
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: not we agree or disagree. If I'm asked, I'll tell

524
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: you what I think and if you ask me, I

525
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: do agree. But we can discuss that part of it later,

526
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: oil prices immediately shot up, immediately shot up. The markets

527
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 2: went all sorts of cattywampus, and it's kind of amazing

528
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: that you take a look at I think it was

529
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: a Tuesday.

530
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: The Dow went down twelve hundred points immediately, and then

531
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: it came back and it closed four unto points down.

532
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, four under points down is

533
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: a real down. But I think the.

534
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: Story here is that there's still these these fluctuations, there's still.

535
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: This kind of feeling it out what it means.

536
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 2: And the oil prices went up per barrel. The Brent

537
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: crude was at eighty dollars a barrel. I'm sorry, the

538
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 2: Brent crude was at eighty seven dollars a barrel at

539
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: one moment that I saw this week.

540
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: It could be higher by now.

541
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: And then the West Texas crewed which comes out of

542
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 2: the ground, was at eighty dollars. The West Texas is

543
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: always a little less expensive than the Brent crude on

544
00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: the barrel price. Gas prices have been coming down, and

545
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: if you want to take a look at popularity polls

546
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 2: and approval poles, Trump's popularity was going up because gas.

547
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: Prices had come down. This changes things.

548
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: So when you were seeing national averages that were getting

549
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 2: that two dollars and you know, the administration claims a

550
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 2: little bit lower, I would say it was a little

551
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: bit higher.

552
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: I think we're now going to see three dollars plus gas.

553
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: For a while, especially when you see oil refineries in

554
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: ryand in Saudi Arabia and other places that are offline

555
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 2: right now because they're dealing with these attacks that are

556
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: coming from Iran. And Iran and Saudi Arabia are not friends.

557
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: They have been in this fight for hegemonic power. The

558
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: whole civil war in Yemen is a proxy fight between

559
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 2: the Saudis and Iran via a group called the Huthi

560
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: Rebels h O U t Hi.

561
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: So there's no love lost there.

562
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 3: But the.

563
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 2: America's acceptance are not acceptance of this. And I'm calling

564
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: it a war. You can call it a conflict, call

565
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: it anything you will. I'm just using a more generic term.

566
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 2: Going to be based on whether or not it increases

567
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: their prices and for how long. I think that's how

568
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: people look.

569
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 3: At this, and also how many American service members end

570
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: up unfortunately losing their lives during this whole operation. Right,

571
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 3: But you know, it's it's strange that when this happened,

572
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 3: and especially because there was talk, you know, Iranian threats

573
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,719
Speaker 3: of cutting off the Strait of Hormos, which which may

574
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: still come in time you hear this, it may have happened.

575
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 3: Twenty percent of the world's oil supply flows through that strait.

576
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 3: You know, there used to be talk if that threat

577
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 3: ever happened, you'd see oil shoot up to one hundred

578
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 3: and fifty dollars a barrel. Of course, that hasn't happened,

579
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 3: but the threat has been there. I'm actually surprised that

580
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: at this point as we're speaking, that oil hasn't shot

581
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 3: up more than it has, especially with the attack on

582
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 3: the on the refineries that you were talking about, and

583
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 3: then you know, the threat of the Strait of horm

584
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 3: moves being closed, and some people have asked, how is.

585
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 2: That going to happen? The Strait of Hormone is there's

586
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: this little where the Persian Gulf is. It goes into

587
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 2: the Gulf of Oman. Look at the map, it's really interesting.

588
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: There's this jut out that takes place, and so it's

589
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 2: a very very thin bit of of area where these

590
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: massive ships are going around.

591
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: You put a couple of ships in their sideways. No

592
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: one's getting through.

593
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 2: And what the theory has been what the Iranians would

594
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: do is they would take some of their ships and

595
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: just think them boom right there. Now, the initial TAC

596
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: took out eleven ships out of the Iranian navy. Now

597
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: there are other ships, and there are the boats, and

598
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 2: are the things that they could do. They've gained planned this,

599
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: but they've also lost a tremendous amount of their leadership

600
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: and they may not be able to operate the way

601
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 2: they normally operated. But yeah, that is a huge one.

602
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: That is a huge one, not only an oil price,

603
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: but lives loss.

604
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 3: And the other thing that I think needs to be

605
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 3: talked about is how impressive it is that they were

606
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 3: able to pull out pull off this operation without any leaks.

607
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 3: I mean it everyone felt like this was coming, but

608
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 3: usually you're Hue whispers.

609
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: Hey it's it's coming.

610
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 3: Now, Hey we're going to see something this weekend. And

611
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 3: it really I felt even though there was a build up,

612
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: there was still talk of negotiations, and the fact that

613
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 3: it happened Saturday morning, I think caught a lot of

614
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 3: people off guard. And I think it's really impressive that

615
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 3: they were able to pull this off without any leaks.

616
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: Can I change the subject for one moment. Absolutely, you

617
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: have some cigar ash in your right eyebrow. Of course.

618
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 3: Oh some of us have a real passion and flair

619
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 3: for cigars. Tony, I was say, thank you, it's still

620
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: it's still, thank you.

621
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 2: It was.

622
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: It was totally freaking me out. I know it was serious,

623
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: but come on, come on.

624
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 2: The the ability as of late, and again, how however

625
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: you feel politically whatever for this Pentagon, the attack that

626
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: took out the nuclear facilities in Iran, total misdirection. What

627
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 2: the capture of Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela. These have been

628
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 2: incredible operations. One of the things that you also have

629
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: to be looking at is the taking of Maduro leads

630
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 2: to the US control of Venezuelan oil. Agreer disagree. I'm

631
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 2: just saying, what is now You have this, and it's

632
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: a control of an oil flow. In both of those

633
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 2: places engage serious oil flow to China, and so what

634
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: you have to be looking at is how China reacts

635
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 2: because this is approximately one fifth of the oil that

636
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: they get. Remember they're also getting oil from Russia. This

637
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 2: is going to either force them to do without or

638
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 2: buy on the regular market, which is going to cost

639
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: them a whole bunch more money, and which is also.

640
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: Going to tie and supply.

641
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 2: Right, let's supply because more is gonna be used, increased demand,

642
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 2: and that is also going to raise prices.

643
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: That's standard stuff.

644
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: So how China acts and reacts on this is gonna

645
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: be pretty interesting of a story to tell. One of

646
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 2: the places that has plenty supply is other good people,
