  <description>&lt;p&gt;This week Tony and Fingers asked themselves "what would be the perfect drink for Independence Day weekend?" &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The answer was beer. But they couldn't get away from their bourbon roots. So, the guys decided to put it all together by drinking the Dragon’s Milk White, Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout from the &lt;a href="https://dragonsmilk.com/dragons-milk-white" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;New Holland Brewing Company&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://eatdrinksmokeshow.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy&lt;/a&gt; host &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/eatdrinksmoke" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Eat! Drink! Smoke!&lt;/a&gt; recorded live at &lt;a href="http://blendbarcigar.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Blend Bar Cigar&lt;/a&gt; in Indianapolis, IN. Along with the Dragon’s Milk White, the guys smoked &lt;a href="https://www.jcnewman.com/the-american-cigar/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;The American cigar from J.C. Newman&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There's a bipartisan movement in Congress to get the FDA out of regulating premium cigars. Tony explains why this is a great idea that is long overdue. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A North Carolina restaurant has added a 20% gratuity called a ‘Fair Wage Service Fee’ to every bill for dine-in customers.  The restaurant owner sees the fee as a method to close the wage gap between staff who did not make tips and those who did. Will customers go along with this new fee? Should they?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile in Texas, a restaurant chain is offering teenagers the opportunity to earn $50,000 as an attempt to lure workers to seek gainful employment. The process involves hiring teens and training them in-house to move into management. Will this be the new way business hire people? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is a new weight loss tool which gets wired into a patient's mouth that looks like some sort of torture device. The fellas describe it, and list the many reasons why it's a bad idea. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;If we listen to the media, America seems to want changes to gun laws in America. But does the 'Do Something' crowd really know what it wants?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On the &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/eatdrinksmoke" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Eat! Drink! Smoke!&lt;/a&gt; Podcast, presented by &lt;a href="http://fanimation.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Fanimation&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/tonykatzradio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; and Fingers Malloy dig much deeper into media reaction, America's reaction and possible next steps. They also review New Riff Rye (they've have previously reviewed the &lt;a href="https://eatdrinksmoke.fireside.fm/65-eat-drink-smoke-fox-news-democrats-townhall-zombie-racoon" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;New Riff bourbon&lt;/a&gt;) and the La Imperiosa cigar from Crowned Heads.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is there a place for Red Flag laws, and is so bad to have a conversation about them? Also, Tony challenges the notion of 'Do Something,' and explains what he is already doing. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Monica Lewinsky is producing the latest American Crime Story, which will dig in on the events leading up to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton. Fingers can't wait to see it, Tony won't see it at all.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at &lt;a href="http://blendbarcigar.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Blend Bar Cigar&lt;/a&gt; in Indianapolis, IN.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;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! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz hosts &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/eatdrinksmoke" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Eat! Drink! Smoke!&lt;/a&gt; recorded live at &lt;a href="http://blendbarcigar.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Blend Bar Cigar&lt;/a&gt; in Indianapolis, IN. They review the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof bourbon and the La Palina Red Label cigar.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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?"&lt;/p&gt;

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

  <description>&lt;p&gt;President Trump has declared a National Emergency on the southern border. Is it an emergency, and will the country go along with it? &lt;a href="http://instagram.com/tonykatz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; hosts &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/eatdrinksmoke" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Eat! Drink! Smoke!&lt;/a&gt;, and discusses how the emergency breaks down and where the real arguments for and against are.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Along with &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/aprildgregory" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;April D. Gregory&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/fingersmalloyradio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Fingers Malloy&lt;/a&gt;, they review the Le Careme cigar from Crowned Heads and a mystery bourbon which turns out to not be a bourbon at all; catch the review of the Auld Blow In single grain scotch from the guys at Backbone Bourbon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fingers Malloy has learned that you can lose weight if you don't eat garbage. The LA Times starts a fight by ranking the best fast food french fries in America. Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gives her boyfriend Congressional email priviliges....is that normal?&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Rep. Elect Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is not afraid. In response to a trolling tweet from Donald Trump Jr., Cortez basically - actually - threatened to investigate and subpoena Trump Jr.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz makes his prediction about Cortez - she's going to get herself expelled from the House. He also labels her "female Trump" due to her Twitter feed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tony is joined by Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory. &lt;/p&gt;
