1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: I have found myself realizing that Foundation does some good work. 2 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: Foundation cigars. The olmec is an absolutely terrific smoke. And 3 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: we've done some other Foundation cigars as well. It's like 4 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: we haven't done them, and now we're hitting them all. 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: And lately I have ended up at meetings at a 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: cigar lounge where they've got the Tabernacle and I'm like, why, yes, 7 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: yes I will. It's eat drink smoke. I'm Tony Katz. 8 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: That right there is America's favorite amateur drinker. Fingers molloy. 9 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: This is the tabernacle. Havana seed. This is the CT one. 10 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: Two is the Havana seed, which we is a reference 11 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: to the rapper. Now we've got this in the double 12 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: corona size. It comes in a series of atolas or sizes, 13 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: and this one is the double corona, which it means 14 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: it's a seven by fifty four. It's seven inches long. 15 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: Always makes fingers with one laugh. And the ring gauge 16 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: is a fifty four. That's the diameter of the cigar, 17 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: or how thick it is around, again with the laughter. 18 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: Now a sixty four ring gage would be a full 19 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: one inch around. This is on ring gauge. Is really 20 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: the top of the mark of where I like to be, 21 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: where I feel comfortable in the mouthfeel when you're getting 22 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: into bigger stuff. I know some people really like that 23 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: sixty four. It's just too much. It hurts the jaw. 24 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: It's just that's not a pleasurable experience. The seven inch. 25 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: I like a longer cigar and this wrapper, this is 26 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: a just a beautiful not only a beautiful color, like 27 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: a beautiful this is a cigar or color like you know. 28 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: It's the browns with with with almost like almost like 29 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: a black undercurtain, like they painted it black and then 30 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: you put brown over it and a little bit of 31 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: the black shows through. That's really where it's at. That 32 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: is smooth and the touch of grit all at the 33 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: same time it's got oil, but it's not oily. It's 34 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: a really nice composition of a wrapper. 35 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 2: Yes it is. And the hand feel is very nice. 36 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 2: I'm leaning towards a little bit lighter than I was expecting, 37 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: but still it feels very good in the hand. 38 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: You're talking about the actual weight of the cigar, Yes, 39 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: like the feel of it. You figured it would be 40 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: have a little more, a little more heft, a little 41 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: more hot shatcha. 42 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: Yes, And I always I struggle with describing it that way, 43 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: as if it's a little hefty, because I don't want 44 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: to fat shame the cigar. 45 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: Oh, well we know it's it's fine. Well, body shame this. 46 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: We can body shame a cigar. And all we want 47 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: you perfect us, you little fatties in the middle. You yeah, 48 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: and your pointy heads. We love you. So the the 49 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: idea of the Havana seed, the the c it's a 50 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: it's a varietal. And so what you have here is 51 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: how seeds moved from one place to another, specific how 52 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: seeds moved from Cuba to Connecticut. So if you do 53 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: drew a state and you do the T fifty two 54 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: from Lego Pravada, that's an example of it. I think 55 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: the guys at cons do a very good job of 56 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: explaining this. Ko h n e ed conned k o 57 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 1: h n h e d knead kand I never knew 58 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: it was content or con u k o h n 59 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: h e d dot com. He does a really nice 60 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: job of explaining this, well done. The cigar has been 61 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: around for a while. The Tybernacle's just we haven't gotten 62 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: to it. So now we're getting to it again, rapper 63 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: is beautiful. Again the the wait, I think it's fine, 64 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess you could expect maybe a little 65 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: bit more heft to the cigar right off the bat, though, 66 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: as as we've started smoking this thing, there's almost everything 67 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: going on. You want wood, it's in there. You want 68 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: some earthy it's in there. You want is it a 69 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: bitterness of chocolate or is it really an undercurrent of 70 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: the pepper. You can play that too a lot, right 71 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: off the bat, from the very beginning. 72 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to take a peek at what other 73 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: people are saying before we review a cigar, just to 74 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 2: see get the pulse of the cigar community. Well, I 75 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: got on Foundation's website Foundation Cigar Company dot com and 76 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 2: their description of what you can expect is cedar a 77 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 2: deep earthiness, a natural sweetness, and warm spice. And I 78 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: read that as I was lighting the cigar, and I thought, 79 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 2: warm spice. That's interesting. And then then once I started 80 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: into the first third of the cigar, I was like, oh, okay, 81 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 2: I get that. 82 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, how I have a definition for warm spies Because 83 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: everybody uses their own words and their own terminologies, and 84 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: we should all be clear with each other Some people 85 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: are totally full of crap. The way they describe a cigar, 86 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: the way they like the terminology they utilize for a bourbon. 87 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: They're they're only there to try and impress other people 88 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: who want to be impressed by by big words or 89 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: esoteric types of flavoring. I have an idea of what 90 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: you mean by warm spice. How would you describe that 91 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: to a person? 92 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: So to me, you know how there's a rye spice 93 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: when when you're having you know your your rye whiskey. 94 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: Oh, I sure do. 95 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: Uh So there's a spice here that lingers on the 96 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 2: palette and it almost feels like there's an intensifying warmth 97 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,559 Speaker 2: to it. You know how it'll dissipate on a rye 98 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 2: for a lot of people when you're you're drinking a rye. 99 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 2: This to me, there's a little bit of spice and 100 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: then it in your mouth. It intensifies that spice and 101 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: it actually gets warmer on your palate. That's how I. 102 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: Take yeah, because when I hear a warm spice, I 103 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: get the feeling that it's not pepper bomb, but it 104 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: is something that just gradually moves its way. It's it's 105 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: it's subtle in its performance. And that's what I think 106 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: it means, because I would never consider warm spice to 107 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: be like baking spices. Baking spice is a very specific 108 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: kind of of thing going on, and so when I 109 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: hear warm spice, I assume they're playing in that pepper, 110 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: but they're saying that pepper is more soud. Now I 111 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: don't get that. I get that pepper right through the 112 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: middle of the tongue right there in present for me, 113 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: so not not warm. 114 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: And once again, you know, we talk about this all 115 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: the time. I don't claim to be a cigar expert. 116 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 2: I'm I'm a fan of cigars, and you know, we 117 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 2: talk about our experiences smoking them and kind of give 118 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: an idea to the audience of what they may experience. 119 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 2: But everybody's palate is different. I with that spice, for me, 120 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: it starts off like with a black pepper, but then 121 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: that black pepper kind of goes away and it kind 122 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 2: of broadens out into like a more baking spice isn't 123 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 2: the right way to go, but there's a there's a spice, 124 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: a flare to it, and then it sticks to the 125 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: palette and it actually continues to warm on the palette 126 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: a little bit well after your draw and by the way, 127 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: nice pleasant draw on this cigar too. 128 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Tabernacle from Foundation Cigars is what we're smoking here. 129 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: And you want to take your cigar and you want 130 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: to break it into thirds in your mind, first third, second, third, 131 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 1: final third, and then you want to grab your notebooks. 132 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: What did you eat today? What did you drink today? 133 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: What is the weather like humidity in Indianapolis, Indiana that 134 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: seems like it's never going to go away? This is 135 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: the new normal we live in. Just a sticky healscape. 136 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: But a nice inviting, sticky healscape, which, oh fantastic people, 137 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: just terrible weather this week. 138 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: And so you take the cigar, you break into the 139 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: thirds and what are the flavors? You get? Write them 140 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: down in your notebook first third, second, third, final third, 141 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: and then when you have the cigar a month later, 142 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: six months later, two months later, you do it again, 143 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: and then you can pare your notes. You really see 144 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: where you're your flavor profile is at. Right there, There 145 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: is some building spice that's going on with this this 146 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: stick I do think there is a bitterness of chocolate 147 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: that exists. And really, where I'm at the thing that 148 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: is now most connecting these two is for me, a 149 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: wood There is a woody that's happening there that may change, 150 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: that may morph a little bit. We've just started this 151 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: the Tabernacle seven by fifty four from Foundation Cigars. You 152 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: want to grab them. We've got a lot more to 153 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: get to keep it here.

And we have a 157 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: quick movie update. It's e drink smoke.

But last week, if I can do 161 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: a flashback, oh. 162 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: Well hold on, hold on, eat, drink smoke flash back. 163 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, we really need a special effects department so so bad. 164 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: We were discussing that.

The reach out 212 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: was very cool, but now my concern is, oh great, 213 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: someone can complain about just anything, and then this guy 214 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: has to end up giving you a free this and 215 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: free that, and like at some moment it like it's 216 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: it's too much. 217 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 2: That's why, that's why it was super kind.

This is the tabernacle, the Havana 335 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: seed right here, the CT one two uh seven fifty four. 336 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: It is starting to get to the place where I 337 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: know it to be, where that bit of that, that 338 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: pepper that came in to me, that wood that came 339 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: in to me, a little bit of bitterness, the chuck 340 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: came in. It's all starting to blend together. And there 341 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: is and I don't know how many people discuss this, 342 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: go go over this right off the first there's a 343 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of sweet that kind of materializes 344 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: from all the things that are happening. The sweetness is 345 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: not overt it is not sugary sweet. It is not 346 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: candy sweet. It is not cream that's not happening. There's 347 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: just with with the chocolate, bitter, with the wood, there's 348 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: this little sweetness. And then you have you know, you 349 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: refer to it as a warm spice. You have this 350 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: pepper there. It is to me, not my everyday flavor, 351 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: but a very nice flavor. I would dare say, almost 352 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: an almondy sweetness. Will you get a nutty out of it? 353 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 2: That with the wood, that sweetness, to me, it almost 354 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: has like an almond back to it. But for me, 355 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 2: it's mostly that wood is intensified. 356 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: The spice. 357 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 2: That pepper has kind of de escalated for me. And again, 358 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm just getting used to it 359 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 2: or if it if it really is starting to subside 360 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: a little bit. 361 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: But I interesting. 362 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 2: I sat back and I thought to myself, that sweetness 363 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 2: where I can't put my finger on it, but it's there. 364 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: And but like you said, it's not a candied sweetness. 365 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 2: It's so you're getting almonds a little bit. Yeah, I 366 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 2: think you're totally wrong. But that's neither here nor there. 367 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: You have your palate and I have mine. I think 368 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: it's a really interesting way to categorize it. For me. 369 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't it doesn't fall into that. I don't. I don't. 370 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: I don't get that one. But I think it's interesting 371 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: that you do. 372 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 2: Maybe it's because I've been scarfing down at almonds for 373 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 2: the last hour and a half. 374 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: I don't think that's it. In the slightest fingers moloy 375 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: the Tabernacle, and by the way, you're gonna get to 376 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: different tastes than other people. Your palate. It's it's all individual. 377 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: There is no right, there is no wrong. There's only 378 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: what you experience out of it. Is this in your 379 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: humidor from Foundation Cigars, the Tabernacle, Havana seed cet one 380 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: the seven by fifty four? Is this in your humid 381 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: or at an average price of thirteen dollars, is still 382 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: stop it? Yes, absolutely, Here's what I'm going to tell you. Oh, 383 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: first things first, there's no question it's in your humid or. 384 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: When it comes to Foundation, I am still a fan 385 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: of the OMEC. The Omech to me is much more 386 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: where I like to be. I've said that before. Here's 387 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: the story about Foundation Foundation cigars. You know, we talked 388 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: about that big fire at the Fernande. It was the 389 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: aj Fernandez factory. Foundation was part of that fire. So 390 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: it might be harder to find right now because shipments 391 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: that one would think were going out weren't going out. 392 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: Millions of cigars were destroyed in that fire. We had 393 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: reached out to a bunch of cigar friends, Hey was 394 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: this Were you affected? And some of our friends weren't affected, 395 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: but others were. We don't know the guys the Foundation. 396 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: We'd love to so to find it, the price may 397 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: be more expensive now, the amount might be limited. Now. 398 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that at thirteen bucks, thirteen dollars all day, 399 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: not even a question. This is in the humid or, 400 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: and this is not my typical profile because there is 401 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: more pepper on here. I like a little more richness 402 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: in the cigar. I do like those creamy elements, but man, 403 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: it smokes beautifully, absolutely beautifully. The tabernacle right here, excuse me, 404 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: the havana seed seven by fifty four. But it's time 405 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: fingers mowaii for news of the week, Tony. 406 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 2: As you know, I've said to you, I have a 407 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 2: few things that I live by. 408 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: Hope, floats, hope floats, live, laugh, love. Yes, if you 409 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: don't climb the mountain, Tony, you can't see the view. 410 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: Oh wow, wow, this is going to be a book. 411 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 2: And also one of my passions, Tony, is to future 412 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 2: proof democracy. 413 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: Thank you. I've been wishing somebody would do that, and 414 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: I'm on it. Thank goodness that someone thought that they 415 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: could devise a new system to future proof democracy other 416 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: than the constitution and free elections. 417 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 2: Well over in the United Kingdom, Tony, Oh well, it's over. 418 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: The United Kingdom could become one of the first European 419 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 2: countries to lower the voting age to sixteen in all 420 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 2: national elections in what the government is calling a landmark 421 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 2: effort to quote future proof it's democracy. 422 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: They are insane. This allow me. We don't get political 423 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: on this show. You guys know, we come from political places. 424 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: We do political radio, We've done political writing, We've done 425 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: political consults. There's nothing except run for office that we 426 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: have not done. We've done the TV stuff, We've done 427 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: the radio stuff, We've done the podcast up. We have 428 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: been in the rooms. Other people have been in more rooms. Right, 429 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: we're not trying to tootor on home. We're just saying 430 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: that we live in this world. The vote has hurt 431 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: more people than the gun, and the idea that you 432 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: would let us sixteen year old vote is insane. I 433 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: would raise the voting age to fifty seven. Are you insane? 434 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 1: Do you think this is gonna future proof? No? Wait, 435 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: it will future proof the UK if indeed the UK 436 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: doesn't want a future. 437 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: Here's my take on this. I have a fifteen year 438 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 2: old trying to be sick teen. Oh fantastic. I see 439 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 2: her interact with other fifteen and sixteen year olds if 440 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 2: it were up to. 441 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: Somebody, do they interact on the gram? 442 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 2: They do the snapchats. I'm quite certain if we just 443 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 2: left them on their own, they would live on sour 444 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 2: patch kids, that would be their diet. 445 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: I'm not turning. 446 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 2: To these people to future proof our democracy. 447 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, when he said these people, he 448 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: totally meant these people. 449 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 2: So I don't know what the United Kingdom is thinking. 450 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 2: This is ridiculous. Kids are naive and they can be 451 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: led down a path through narrative to come up with 452 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 2: decisions in a way to live a life and lead 453 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 2: a country that can destroy it. 454 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: And there's no way anyone. 455 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 2: I'm not even sure you're mature enough at eighteen to vote, 456 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 2: to be quite honest, but we. 457 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: Got I say fifty seven, I'm in seventy three. You 458 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: need to be seventy three years old to be able 459 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: to vote. 460 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 2: But the reason why I brought this up, it's like, Okay, well, 461 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 2: why do you bring this up. It's in the United Kingdom. 462 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 2: The talk has been in the United States from some 463 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 2: that we should lower the voting age here in the 464 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 2: United States to sixteen years old. 465 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: Yet I can't have a gun at all. Like if 466 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: they the same people want to lower the voting age, 467 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: want to tell you that you're never old enough to 468 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 1: be able to have a gun. If I go through history, 469 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: and by the way, if anybody wants to check my 470 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: historical accuracy, go right ahead. The vote far more powerful tool, 471 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: far more dangerous tool in the wrong hands, because in 472 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: the wrong hands people can vote for a way that 473 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: prevents a vote from ever happening again, almost as dangerous 474 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: Sour Patch kids. That's that's rough. By the way, Sara 475 00:26:53,680 --> 00:27:00,719 Speaker 1: Patch's kids are skittles, which is worse skittles. Sure. I 476 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: have found that over time here on Each Drink Smoke, 477 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: we Fingers Moloy have become basically America's best dads.

It's a 501 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: story about how younger generations Joe, we talked about would 502 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: you let a sixteen year old vote? Younger generations have 503 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: this real failure to launch. I'm not getting out of 504 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: the house. I'm not getting jobs. They need parents to 505 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: go with them on a job interview. There's just a 506 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: total fear of everything, and in a large scale sense, 507 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: and it certainly is not true of everybody. I have 508 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: real faith in gen z as opposed to millennials. Whe 509 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: I have much less faith just based on my observations. 510 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: It's totally an observational thing. The story is from The Independent, 511 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: where a California mother talked to CNBC about how much 512 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: she and her husband pay to financially support their twenty 513 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: seven year old daughter. The daughter moved back home in 514 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: early twenty twenty four, and she and her husband are 515 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: paying an extra five thousand dollars a month fifteen hundred 516 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: on food, seven hundred on transportation, four hundred on her 517 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: pet cat. So they're no longer going on vacations. He 518 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: is considering delaying his retirement. The question before us is 519 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: why in the world is it five thousand dollars. Listen, 520 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: there could be all sorts of reasons. Your kid has 521 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: moved back into the house, all sorts of reasons, but 522 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: the kid's just gonna stay there. How does it come 523 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: to five thousand dollars? And what is the kid doing? 524 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 2: So I can only assume, first of all, that fifteen 525 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 2: hundred dollars on food must include a huge amount of 526 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 2: door dash and Uber Eats. 527 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: Has to write yeah, because at fifteen hundred dollars a month, 528 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: I can feed everybody. Yes, and then some that's that's crazy. 529 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: Seven hundred dollars on transportation, okay? Is that you're paying 530 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: the car payment and the car insurance or there is 531 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: no car payment or car insurance and you're paying ride 532 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: share services for because the kid doesn't drive. Yes, which 533 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: was a trend. I don't know if that's still a trend. 534 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: Kids like not driving afraid to drive. 535 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 2: It's crazy. It just is so foreign to me. You know, 536 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 2: you and I have talked about it on several occasions. 537 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 2: How it feels like our generation X was like the 538 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 2: last generation that really really had a passion for cars. 539 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 2: And younger kids. Man, it's sometimes nineteen twenty years old 540 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 2: before they get the driver's license. But for seven hundred 541 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 2: dollars on transportation, four hundred dollars on her pet cat, 542 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 2: I can't even imagine unless it's a really sickly cat, 543 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 2: that they're taking the vet all the time, and they've 544 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 2: got some ridiculous prescription food and actual medication that they're 545 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 2: giving the cat. Listen, you you touched on it earlier. 546 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 2: If one of my daughters said to me at twenty three, 547 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 2: twenty four, can I move back in? I have, you know, 548 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 2: a student loan that I want to pay off. I 549 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 2: want to start my own business whatever, and I just 550 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 2: need some help, of course I would say, please come 551 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 2: back home, we'll help. 552 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: If I see them working and they're actually doing it. 553 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, then it's like, Okay, her nose is against the 554 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 2: grindstone and I'm working. And but if it's just this, 555 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 2: but even even in that, you set a standard in it. 556 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 2: My kid has a goal, they're trying to achieve the goal. 557 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 2: They're asking me for help in achieving the goal. I 558 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 2: can help them achieve the goal. I'll do it now. 559 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 2: You could also say you got you got to be 560 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 2: able to manage these things. It might take you longer, 561 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 2: but you've got to do this on your own, right, 562 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 2: depending on the kid and you. But you might say yes, 563 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 2: you might say no. 564 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: But you started with a place of because I would 565 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: I would be the I would be the no guy. Yeah, 566 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: but you started with the place of you have a goal, 567 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: and certainly starting a business, well maybe that's a little 568 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: bit different. That's your investment in talking them with the business. 569 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: Parents help their kids start businesses all the time. They 570 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: are different ways to go about doing that. But in 571 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: this situation, and so the story is from CNBC, there's 572 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: a growing number of parents who say their children aged 573 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: eighteen to thirty five are impacting their finances. Forty percent 574 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: of parents say that supporting their adult children has impacted 575 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: their saving goals. I'm sorry, no, no, no, no, no, no, 576 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: no no, no, no, no. And this is certainly there's 577 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: a cultural aspect to play. This is a falt of parenting. 578 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: And this is a fault to parenting because in yours, 579 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: as I said, in your setup, they're after something, they 580 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: have a goal that is an ambition, that is a drive, 581 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: that is something, and you're like, I can reward that 582 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: help that I want to cultivate that. Good on you 583 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: and you're doing what you do right. Yeah, if the 584 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: kid is like I just I just don't want to work, 585 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: I don't understand. It's also very stressful. You don't understand 586 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: what it's like. I know what it's going to be 587 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: like if I'm seventy four and saying welcome to Walmart. 588 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: And there's, by the way, nothing wrong with doing it, 589 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: and some people have to do it. There is no 590 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: issue with it at all. But if I can set 591 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,959 Speaker 1: myself up now to not be doing that, that's what 592 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: I want. You don't get to take from me what 593 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: I want. That's not good parenting. That's my point. 594 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 2: The amount of people that I know that are in 595 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 2: their fifties and even early sixties that are making their 596 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 2: adult children's car payments. 597 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: No, you do not, not me. I didn't say you 598 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: you don't really know people do. 599 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 2: Absolutely, you do, not to the point where they're actually 600 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 2: working a second. 601 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: Job or whatever, because they're treating that. I'm not the no, no, 602 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: I'm not making it up. Look me and the eye 603 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: and tell me that's real, that's. 604 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 2: Real, working over time because oh my kid needs a 605 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 2: helping hand. And then I ask what kind of car 606 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 2: they're driving? 607 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: A BMW? This is not no this Why are you 608 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: still friends with those people? 609 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 2: I'm serious more of a work acquaintance. But the situation 610 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,399 Speaker 2: here with this story or what I'm talking about, it's 611 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 2: one thing. If you break down what you just said earlier, 612 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 2: it said, Okay, you're you're helping them because they have 613 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 2: a goal and they're working to achieve that goal, versus 614 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 2: a sense of entitlement where that's what it feels like here, 615 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 2: five thousand dollars a month. 616 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,399 Speaker 1: How is that even possible? How is that possible? You're 617 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: they're living underneath your roof. 618 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 2: How could they possibly add five thousand dollars unless they're 619 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 2: just sitting back and just with their hand out and 620 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 2: you're willing to put the cash. 621 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 1: You're there to sacrifice and they're there to take you 622 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,280 Speaker 1: love your children. You do take care of your children. 623 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: I pay for my kids education and my oldest is working. 624 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: We was supposed to be a part time job, it's 625 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: now a full time and why did you make it 626 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: full time? Well, I want to be able to make 627 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: as much as I can and contribute to what I'm 628 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: doing for college. And I said that's not happening. You'll 629 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: contribute what you can to an IRA or to a fund, 630 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: or to stock purchases, to your investments, to your future. No, no, no, 631 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: I've got college. You take care of your future. And 632 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: my kid looked at me like yeah, But I said, 633 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: I'm not having this conversation with you, and I'm not 634 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: interested in your opinion on this. I've got this part. 635 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: You've got to take care of. You trying to teach 636 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: the lesson that you have to focus on your things, 637 00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: and there will come a time where you have a 638 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 1: kid's take care and. 639 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 2: You will and time is on their side when it 640 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 2: comes to that sort of thing. You get fifty thousand 641 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 2: dollars in some sort of fund by the time you're 642 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 2: thirty years old, and see what it'll be like at 643 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 2: sixty five. That's good parenting. You can't you can't be 644 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 2: a good parent by giving. You have to be a 645 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 2: good parent by giving properly. And sometimes what you have 646 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 2: to give is call it the tough love. Sometimes you 647 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 2: have to give a no. You have to tell them no. 648 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,919 Speaker 2: They have to fail to figure out what it means 649 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 2: to succeed. And this story is frightening in every single way. 650 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: You really know somebody doing that. Four hundred dollars in 651 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: our pet cat
