Much of the national conversation last week revolved around Britney Spears' conservatorship. Many of the restrictions that came to light after her highly anticipated hearing were shocking.

Tony Katz — Sun, 16 Jun 2019 23:00:00 -0400

More and more we are hearing about social media and technology platforms that are demonetizing and censoring content they deem unacceptable. Tony Katz starts with a clear statement: Free speech above all things, and Eat! Drink! Smoke! isn't going to change anything.

A review of Angel's Envy Rye and the Throwback 2012 Camacho Liberty Series cigar. Eat! Drink! Smoke! is sponsored by Fanimation.com and is recorded at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Whataburger is to Texas what In-and-Out is to California. Recently, Whataburger sold a majority stake to a company out of Chicago. Texas, and Houston Texans player JJWatt, are unhappy. A vaccination update involving the border might make people rethink vaccinations and the border situation. And My Little Pony makes comeback.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 38 - Friendship Bracelets For President, Schwarzenegger Love Child Not Invited To Chris Pratt Wedding and Why Are People Still Talking About CNN's Ratings?

Tony Katz — Sun, 09 Jun 2019 22:00:00 -0400

Would you invite your father's love child to your wedding? In the case of Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger, the answer was no to former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's son-with-the-maid, Joseph.

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! sponsored by Fanimation.com On this episode, a review of the Las Calaveras cigar from Crowned Heads and Barrell Dovetail bourbon.

Presidential candidate and former Vice-President Joe Biden posted a photo of 'friendship bracelets' between him and former President Barack Obama. Is this what America wants in a commander in chief? A guy who shares his friendship bracelets?

And CNN continues to fall in the ratings. Why is the political right so obsessed with this network? "CNN doesn't look like it's going to change." says Tony. "And if bad ratings don't matter to their sponsors, they sure won't care about the audience."

Tony Katz — Sun, 02 Jun 2019 06:00:00 -0400

"It started off fine," says Tony Katz. "And then it all started falling apart."

This is the first time Tony ever expereinced a rye that started off interesting, and then all fell apart. The Knob Creek select barrell rye started off interesting, with hints of cocoa. It ended with a long standing burn in the throat ...and three unhappy reviewers.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. They review the rye and the Arturo Fuente Oro Rosado Sungrown Magnum R Super Sixty 6. The cigar was not the rye; the Fuente is a fantastic mix of creamy and spice with a Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper. (Our cigar expert Richard from Blend referred to it as a Colorado wrapper.)

With nearing 1,000 measels cases now in America, is there an argument to be made for forcing vaccinations? And can schools keep your kids out because they don't have the vaccine? Restaurant workers have good reason to be angry with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is pushing to end the lower minimum wage for the hospitality industry. Coke is continuing its retro feel, and brinigng back coffee-infused Coke.

And Lamar Odom claims he spent $100 million on drugs. We say BS.

"I think he asked me to punch him?" - April D. Gregory

That's how April described a moment that occured during a game of beer pong. But she's not so sure what really happened...and her trying to piece it together is amazing!

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! Just because a bourbon is a high proof doesn't mean it won't be enjoyable.

They also review the Zino Platinum Exclusive Series.

Howard Stern has a new book coming out, and is talking about how psychotherapy helped him. He went a step further, saying that the same would help President Trump. Is it right to

A RV store is getting fined by the city of Statesville, North Carolina for having a giant American flag at their store. According to the city, it violates code. According to Tony, the city of Statesville has picked the losing side of an argument. Spinach ice cream is not a smart idea and what is Navy sex?

NOTE In the podcast, Tony refers to the number of colonists who favored revolution as 3%. The number he should have used was 1/3rd, which is a contested figure - https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/5641. The 3% number comes from a myth about the percentage of colonists who served in the militia - https://observer.com/2017/07/soldiers-militia-american-revolution/
We always try to correct the record when we notice an error. We usually blame the bourbon.

Tony Katz — Wed, 22 May 2019 11:00:00 -0400

Tony Katz — Sun, 19 May 2019 11:00:00 -0400

Democratic senator and presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren rebuked an invitation from FOX News to participate in a town hall. Was this the right move - a chance to show her left-leaning base that she is strong against the "enemy" - or did she miss a chance to be on the biggest cable news network in America and possibly find new voters?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! A review of New Riff bourbon and the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos cigar. There is an outbreak of zombie raccoons; it's a disease called distemper, and it leads to rabid raccoons that walk on their hind legs. (In case you didn't have enough to worry about!)

Tony Katz — Thu, 04 Apr 2019 13:00:00 -0400

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.

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

Tony Katz — Mon, 04 Feb 2019 03:00:00 -0500

It's rare that we are recording the podcast as breaking news is happening, but that's how it went this week as the Saga of Virginia Democrat Governor Ralph Northam was unfolding as we were recording.

A photo of a man in blackface standing next to a person in a KKK robe was discovered on Northam's medical school yearbook page. At first Northam admitted to taking the photo. The next day, he said it wasn't him. And, while we were recording, Gov. Northam was holding a press conference to profess his innocence...while admitting to doing blackface another time in his life!

As Tony Katz notes, the photo is unacceptable. But why is this the story, as opposed to Gov. Northam's acceptance and support of infanticide?

Tony discusses his inner Lewinsky conflict with Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory while reviewing Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon and the Arturo Fuente Anejo Reserva 48 Churchill.

Also, the migrant caravan has been turned into a political football, and that helps no one. Lives are at stake, and we shouldn't avoid the conversation of what this caravan is and what it means for the United States because mainstream media refuses to have it.

And Sarah Michelle Geller - you know, Buffy The Vampire Slayer - is hot. And when she posts pictures of herself in lingerie, it's not fat shaming.

With Thanksgiving coming up, is it ok to go out to eat for the holiday? And how much should it cost you to make the meal? Fingers and April have a serious disagreement about how much to spend on the family.

Medical tourism is a real thing. But if you go to Mexico for a nose job, you're on your own. And Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) wants your guns, and demands that you fall in line...or he'll nuke you. Exactly how would gun confiscation work in America? It's clear that Rep. Swalwell has never thought through his own terrible ideas.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! was recorded at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. Joining Tony are radio host Fingers Malloy and social media maven and podcaster April D. Gregory.
