Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - What Happened With The NRA And Do You Eat Raw Cookie Dough?

Tony Katz — Thu, 04 Jul 2019 00:00:00 -0400

The NRA dropped NRA TV. And it has made big news.

The National Rifle Association will remain, but the ad agency that made the shows on NRA TV lost their contract and all the programming is off the air. Anti-gun advocates love it, but do they even understand what happened? Some are infuriated about it, but do THEY even understand what happened?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! presented by Fanimation.com. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Nestle now offers tubs of edible cookie dough. Has anyone ever really not had raw cookie dough because they were worried about the health risks?

Tony Katz — Sun, 05 May 2019 12:00:00 -0400

Fried chicken became the political story of the week, proving 2019 is just madness. But which fried chicken is better?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! Today's podcast reviews Woodford Reserve Double Oaked bourbon, the La Palina 'Goldie' cigar and a fried chicken taste test between KFC and Popeye's. He is joined by Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory.

The madness over the Mueller Report continues, and one's opinion seems based completely on their tribe. Facebook bans Louis Farrakhan and Alex Jones and a bunch of other people. Facebook is wrong. And Snoop Dogg's comments on Farrakhan are just ugly

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - It's Wine! It's Champagne! It's....Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing?

Tony Katz — Thu, 02 May 2019 09:00:00 -0400

No one has ever had leftover champagne. So why are their articles and blog posts dedicated to how to propely used what's leftover? And why are some of the ideas really, really good ones?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size edition. Wine expert Drew Matich explains why you don't need to spend a fortune to drink good wine, but sometimes you do.

April D. Gregory then explains her recipe for ranch dressing that has no dairy. This leaves Tony, Fingers Malloy and Drew asking questions...and feeling queasy.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 30 - Julian Assange a criminal? Can Charlize Theron get a date? And why is Shinola watch so important to Detroit?

Tony Katz — Sat, 13 Apr 2019 20:00:00 -0400

Is Julian Assange a criminal or a hero? It really does depend on how you ask. Maybe the better question is, did Julian Assange break the law? And who is worse - Assange or criminal Chelsea Manning? (Spoiler: It's Manning.) And maybe there's an even bigger question hanging over the Assange arrest: Do American even care about this story?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN, along with April D. Gregory and Fingers Malloy. The review Noah's Mill bourbon and the Smoking Jacket Henkie cigar from Kelner Boutique Factory.

Actress Charlize Theron can't get a date. This isn't gossip; she said it herself. She said guys need to "grow a pair" and ask her out. If you do ask her out, we suggest making a documentary out of it. Kit Kat ice cream is a real thing, and you can buy it. And in a recent trip to Detroit, Tony saw how residents there are supporting a hometown brand - Shinola watch - and why it signals great things for the problemed city.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 28 - Jussie Gets Off, Transgender Flags in Congress and Movies You Must See Immediately

Tony Katz — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 16:00:00 -0400

Jussie Smollett gets away with a hoax. At least, that's the feeling of most Americans. Yet, the NAACP is still welcoming him to the awards ceremony they are holding where he is up for an image award. But it's not just the hoax from Smollett that has people angry. It's that the Illinois State's Attorney, Kim Foxx - who may have been influenced by family members and a former Michelle Obama aide - never recused herself from the case....even when she said she did!

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. They review the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof bourbon and the La Palina Red Label cigar.

April D. Gregory can't handle the Smollett story, so instead we discuss members of Congress replacing POW/MIA flags with flags representing transgender pride. "Why do you need to replace the flag?" asks Fingers Malloy. "Why can't you just put up another flag if you want it?"

And April has a list of movies that she has not seen yet, and once you hear it you won't be ok.
