This week, Tony and Fingers review Wilderness Trail 6 Year Bottled In Bond Bourbon and the Ferio Tego Timeless Panamericana cigar.

Best Buy CEO says the trauma from rising retail thefts could force employees to quit. Businesses are shutting down in places like San Francisco because of flash mob shoplifting. Why is all this happening?

Brooke Shields flies to her family every Christmas with a smoked brisket in her carry-on. That's cool. What's also cool is that Tony finally bought a grill. He smoked his first brisket. How did it turn out?

Tony Katz — Mon, 19 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

This week on the big show, Tony and Fingers encounter something they have never tried before -- a vatted rye whiskey. They had questions. What is a vatted rye? What goes into the process of vatting a rye? Those questions and more were answered with this week's drink -- the Hochstadter's Vatted Straight Rye Whiskey.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy host Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. Along with the Hochstadter's Vatted Straight Rye Whiskey, the guys smoked the Kristoff Ligero Maduro cigar.

To kick off their coverage of the Premium Cigar Association's Convention and Trade Show, Tony sat down with Glen Case, Owner of Kristoff Cigars. Glen talked about the Kristoff brand, why he got into the cigar business and the industry in general. You don't want to miss this interview!

Coca-Cola announced they are changing the formula of Coke Zero and fans of the zero calorie soft drink are freaking out on social media. Is this a good move? Do they not remember the New Coke debacle of the 1980s?

It was supposed to be a one-hour flight from Vegas to Stockton. It turned into a 17-hour nightmare that included reroutes, a lockdown and for many passengers, a night in an airport. What went wrong? How would the guys handle that situation?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 141 - Drink Bumbu Rum, Review The Avo XO Legato, Big News For Rye Whiskey In Indiana, Subway Restaurants Are Retooling and Gas Prices Are Surging

Tony Katz — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Cigars work with rum. Tony and Fingers usually pair their cigars with bourbon, whiskey or a coffee. But cigars go great with rum. So this week, the fellas did something a little different for them, and sampled Bumbu Rum. It did not disappoint.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy host Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. Along with the Bumbu Rum, the guys smoked the Avo XO Legato.

People who are familiar with Eat! Drink! Smoke! know that Tony came out with his own rye, called Recovery Rye. It's distilled in Indiana. Indiana has a long history with making rye whiskey. This is why Indiana Rye whiskey was recently made a legally binding regional whiskey style of American whiskey. Great news!

Subway restaurants have been in the news a lot recently. The chain has been struggling. In a move to try and change that momentum, the sandwich chain will close most of their restaurants for one day and revamp their menu. Will this reverse Subway's slide?

Gas prices continue to rise. How much longer will we see these high prices? How will it impact the economy?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 140 - Drink The Dragon’s Milk White, Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout, Review The American From J.C. Newman, Congress Looking To Limit The FDA On Premium Cigars, Fair Wage Fees At Restaurants And A New Scary Weight-loss Tool

Tony Katz — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

This week Tony and Fingers asked themselves "what would be the perfect drink for Independence Day weekend?"

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 New Holland Brewing Company.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy host Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. Along with the Dragon’s Milk White, the guys smoked The American cigar from J.C. Newman.

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.

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?

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?

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.

Tony Katz — Mon, 28 Jun 2021 08:00:00 -0400

This week on the big show, Tony and Fingers were thrown a curveball. Due to some flooding, their favorite cigar lounge was closed. That, along with some rain, forced them to record this episode from Tony's garage. Being they were at Tony's house, he went into his personal liquor cabinet and pulled out a gem -- a bottle of Horse Soldier Signature Barrel Strength Bourbon.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy host Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live in Indianapolis, IN. Along with Horse Soldier Signature Barrel Strength Bourbon, they review the Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial cigar.

Normally the fellas do not review ice cream, but Häagen-Dazs makes a pint that cannot be ignored. Häagen-Dazs Bourbon Praline Pecan ice cream is sampled and Fingers fell in love. Is it a good candidate for a milkshake or a bourbon float? They tell you.

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. Should her father still be in charge of her affairs? Tony breaks down why this story is more than just celebrity news.

Speaking of shocking, the New York Times made some shocking claims about Subway's Tuna Sandwich. Their lab reports are in -- what are we to believe?

Tony Katz — Mon, 21 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Tony and Fingers are a little early celebrating Independence Day, but quite honestly -- you can never be too early when you're celebrating America. And a good way to celebrate America is to turn to Jack Daniel's -- specifically Gentleman Jack.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy host Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. Along with Gentleman Jack Tennessee Whiskey, the guys review the Camacho Liberty Series 2021 cigar.

There continues to be supply chain issues for many businesses across the country. The latest product that has become harder to find is chicken wings. Restaurants are pulling them from their menus. Will things get better soon? Is Fingers in a panic?

Meanwhile in Girl Scout Cookieland, millions of Thin Mints and other Girl Scout cookie offerings may go to waste due to the difficulty of running a cookie sale during a pandemic. What's the solution?

The Washington D.C. Council passed a bill banning the sale of flavored tobacco products, such as flavored e-cigarettes, menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars. The guys go into detail as to why it's a bad bill.

And in some of the most unsurprising news of the year -- the popularity of the name Karen for newborn girls has plummeted. We can thank social media for that! The guys show their sympathy for Karen Nation.

Tony Katz — Mon, 07 Jun 2021 12:00:00 -0400

This week on the big show, Tony and Fingers review a single malt whiskey. But this isn't at all what you would expect when you hear "single malt." On this episode, the guys review the Westland American Oak Single Malt. How will this compare to other single malts Tony and Fingers have tried in the past?

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy host Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. Along with the Westland American Oak Single Malt, they review the Davidoff Dominicana Toro cigar.

Not too long ago, hackers went after America's fuel supply by launching a cyberattack on computers that managed the Colonial Pipeline. Recently, our food supply was attacked. The world's largest meat supply company was forced to shut down slaughterhouses because of a cyberattack. How can we prevent these attacks in the future? Can we unite as a nation to come up with a solution to this problem?

A lot of crazy things have recently been put up for sale/auction. A cigar butt that was discarded by Winston Churchill just sold at an auction. A chicken nugget that kinda looks like the state of Indiana was listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace. The asking prices will surprise you! Who buys this stuff? Would you?

Tony Katz — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 23:00:00 -0400

A$AP Rocky is in jail in Sweden for a fight that happened, and many are saying the condition he's being held in are inhumane.

Inhumane? Isn't that how Democrats describe the Southern border?

It was President Trump's worst week as president. And it was worse for Speaker Pelosi. Tony Katz breaks down the entire back and forth between Trump, Pelosi, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and "The Squad." Who was told to go back home, who has a problem with America, who is defending bigots?

Delivery drivers need to uphold their sacred oath: Bring us our food without eating it. There are horror stories about families losing their farm - or their home - because they can't pay the taxes. But how much of this is because of bad family planning, and how could anyone think a "Death Tax" is a good idea?

Tony Katz — Sun, 14 Jul 2019 11:00:00 -0400

Steak and bourbon ice cream from Longhorn Steakhouse is totally shtick. But it still sounds great.

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! presented by Fanimation.com. The impossible burger is another one of the big food gimmicks recently unloaded on America. And people are eating all of it up.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 43 - The Democrats Fight Each Other For Power And Weird J Lo Lap Dances

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

Tony gives the background on the fight between Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and how bad this can be for the party going into an election season.

The ice-cream licking copycats have now graduated to swigging Listerine, spitting it back into the bottle and putting it back on the shelf. Tony wants her to get all the jail time. Fingers wants to know if it was all an act to get clicks.

Jennifer Lopez, at one of her concerts, gave USWNT member Carli Lloyd a lap dance. Why? We're not really sure.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 42 - Licking The BlueBell and What The Hell Is White Twitter?

Tony Katz — Sun, 07 Jul 2019 22:00:00 -0400

OK. What the hell is "white Twitter?"

According to multiple sources, "white Twitter" is in uproar because a black woman has been cast as Ariel in the live-action version of "The Little Mermaid." Unfortunately, the sources don't have it right. But it shows exactly how media uses social media to move their narrative.

A politician in Seattle thinks cleaning human waste off city streets can be seen as racism. A young woman might get 20 years in jail for licking BlueBell ice cream at a local supermarket, then putting the ice cream back in the freezer for someone to buy. (Fingers thinks it's way too long of a possible sentence. Tony thinks it's nowhere near enough.)

California deals with earthquakes, and will the US Women's National Soccer Team go to the White House now that they've won the World Cup? Or will it be better for them (and Megan Rapinoe) to just be angry and say no?

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?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 41 - What America Learned From The Democratic Debate

Tony Katz — Sun, 30 Jun 2019 12:00:00 -0400

The Democrats had a debate. Two, in fact. Who won, who lost, who looked the fool and how much did Sen. Kamala Harris save Mayor Pete Buttigieg while she went for the kill shot against fromer VP Joe Biden?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! sponsored by Fanimation.com. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN with Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory.

They review the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos "The Man's 80th," which is made in honor of the 80th birthday of Carlos Fuente, Sr. The drink is the Journeyman Last Feather Rye, and the pre-mixed Journeyman Distillery's Manhattan made with their Silver Cross whiskey.

US Women's National Team co-captain Megan Rapinoe was not wrong to stand at attention during the national anthem. But she was wrong to say she wouldn't go to the "f_ing" White House. And she was also wrong to accept an invitation from Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.

Is grilling a man's job? And was Rep. Tulsi Gabbard the most Googled candidate from the Democratic debates because she was the most attractive? A Chick-Fil-A employee saved the life of a child in the drive-thru lane, thanks to a pocket knife. Also, America prefers cold pizza to, well, just about everything.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - A Dog Does Not Make You A Dad And California's Second Amendment End Around

Tony Katz — Wed, 19 Jun 2019 23:00:00 -0400

California law requires a background check for buying ammunition. Is this good policy, or just an end around of the second amendment?

Tony and April D. Gregory talk about how you don't have to be a fan of guns but still support people's right to use them. Also, what is your situational awareness? And if you have a dog, it doesn't make you a father.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 39 - Free Speech No Matter What YouTube or Facebook Say, Angel's Envy Rye and What Happened To Whataburger?!

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! - Snack Size! - The Mountain Dew Review

Tony Katz — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 00:00:00 -0400

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 34 - Who Sings Karaoke Without Beer? You Can't Celebrate Mother's Day Because Someone Will Get Offended and Grapefruit Margaritas and Vegas Bombs are Real Drinks

Tony Katz — Sun, 12 May 2019 14:00:00 -0400

A Utah law prevents karaoke bars from serving beer....as if you can sing karaoke without beer.

In the latest episode of Eat! Drink! Smoke!, a school in Australia has dropped Mother's Day because some kids get upset by it. Tony Katz thinks this is just another example of so-called adults actually harming kids more than helping them.

A great review of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Tennessee Whiskey, and the Nat Sherman Timeless box press cigar. Tony and Fingers Malloy also get a lesson in 'Vegas Bombs' and grapefruit margaritas from April D. Gregory.

A Utah law prevents karaoke bars from serving beer....as if you can sing karaoke without beer. And Rep. Ocasio-Cortez claims a Trump supporter left her a note of support. April and Fingers think the story is fishy.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 33 - Snoop Dogg Fails On The Farrakhan-Facebook Flop, KFC or Popeyes and How Fried Chicken Dominated The Political World This Week

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

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! - Snack Size! - Best Easter Candy? But You Can Only Have A Vote If You Can Pronounce Reese's Correctly

Tony Katz — Fri, 26 Apr 2019 12:00:00 -0400

Who knew so many people abhor the Cadbury Egg Easter candy?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! Snack Size edition. April D. Gregory spits fire about the Cadbury Egg, but gives nothing but love for Reese's peanut butter eggs. It's just too bad she can't pronounce the words "Reese's." And where do Peeps fit into all of this?

Along with Fingers Malloy, they review the Bone Snapper X-Ray Rye and the La Volcada cigar from La Flor Dominicana. Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN, and is sponsored by Fanimation.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 31 - So Many Mueller Report Hot Takes, But Only One Truth. Can You Really Be Offended By A T-Shirt? And April Sings Tony The Passover Song

Tony Katz — Sun, 21 Apr 2019 03:00:00 -0400

The Mueller Report has been released. Everyone has a hot take, and Tony Katz needs to take a step back:

> "The media told us this was all about collusion. And, now, all anyone in media is talking about is obstruction of justice. Can we discuss the first part first? America got told for over two years there was collusion, and there was no collusion. What the hell?"

Tony host the latest Eat! Drink! Smoke! podccast, recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. Along with April D. Gregory and Fingers Malloy, they review the Bone Snapper X-Ray Rye and the La Volcada cigar from La Flor Dominicana.

A T-shirt from a barbecue restaurant is causing a lot of anger because of it's connection to LGBTQ. Also, Tony thinks Q stands for questioning, April says it stands for queer. Some websites say it stands for both. Which is it? Also, there is currency in being woke.

Also, are some curse words allowable? And why is it ok for Tony to say but not April? Chocolate marshmallows are coming to America....and the outlook is not good. April is convinced there is a Passover song....and she tries to sing it to Tony.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - Michael Avenatti's Indictments Make Him Look Like Even A Bigger Creep Than You Thought He Already Was

Tony Katz — Wed, 17 Apr 2019 12:00:00 -0400

You already thought former Stormy Daniel's lawyer Michael Avenatti was a jerk. OK, maybe that was just April D. Gregory. But when you hear about the indictments against him, you might find yourself agreeing with April just a bit more.

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke!, the Snack Size edition, recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. Tony, April and Fingers Malloy discuss the indictment, and question what kind of guy steals $4.2 million from a mentall ill paraplegic?

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! - Snack Size! - You Said I Look Great, And Now You're Out Of A Job

Tony Katz — Thu, 11 Apr 2019 02:00:00 -0400

An 80 year-old radio host quit his job because management had a problem with him telling a 75 year-old woman she looked great.

This. Is. Not. The. Onion.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - Is there a wrong way to cut a bagel? And is Gen-X interested in nostalgia?

A guy in St. Louis brought bagels to his co-workers, and Twitter lost their mind. Why? Because the bagels were cut vertically, not horizontally.

Tony Katz hosts the snack size edition of Eat! Drink! Smoke!, along with April D. Gregory and Fingers Malloy. They review the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof bourbon and the La Palina Red Label cigar.

Tony says cut your bagel any way you like. April and Fingers somewhat agree. And doesn't everyone go to Wendy's for a Frosty and fries? April says not anymore, since the fries at Wendy's have changed. What foods connect you to your childhood? Tony, April and Fingers walk us down their memory lane, and show how they all connect.

Fingers wants to know if there is interest in a Gen-X nostalgia podcast.

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.

According to one institute, porn and video games are having a damaging affect on existing relationships. Not that it's stopping people from entering relationships - which it does.

"Put down your damn cell phone!"

That was Tony Katz' response to a story of an elderly woman being attacked on a NYC subway. People on the train took video of the attack, but did not step in to stop the assailant. "Maybe Childish Gambino was on to something in his video, 'This Is America.'"

Eat! Drink! Smoke! reviews a unique dark rye from Basil Hayden, and the very spicy Opus X Lost City cigar.

The Mueller Investigation is done, and the report has been handed in to Attorney General William Barr. Ok, now what? What will the press say, how will Democrats and Republicans react, will anyone be swayed from their original position?

Lucky Charms cereal is offering up prize packages of cereal that are all marshmallows. Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory love the idea. Tony wonders why we're screwing with breakfast.

Tony Katz hosts the latest Snack Size edition of Eat! Drink! Smoke! with Fingers and April D. Gregory.

Tony Katz — Wed, 20 Feb 2019 16:00:00 -0500

April D. Gregory has no interest in Colin Kaepernick's protest move of kneeling for the National Anthem. But what to make of his decision not to play in the AAF? Was it about money, or about Kaepernick being more interested in being a martyr? And since the NFL has allowed people like Kareem Hunt back in the league, can Kaepernick claim that he is really being blackballed?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! As for what the real story is with Kaepernick? Tony and April discuss it with Fingers Malloy. (NOTE After the podcast, it was announced that Kaepernick and Eric Reid settled a lawsuit with the NFL for between $60-80 million, though other reporting has the number at far less. Could this open the way for Kaepernick in the NFL? Possibly.)

A man in Saskatchewan, Canada wanted to put his last name on his license plate, but the government said no. Because when you spell his name, it's a potential curse word. Or, he's just Kramer in Seinfeld.

Tony Katz — Wed, 23 Jan 2019 17:00:00 -0500

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! Snack Size edition.

The media had a terrible, awful, very bad week. Between going all in on the Buzzfeed article about former presidential lawyer Michael Cohen, and then trying to cover their mistake by going all in against the Covington Catholic students, there's a lot of embarassment and shame to go around.

The question is: Will They Learn Anything from it?

And Game of Thrones is returning to HBO. Tony can't wait, but April D. Gregory and Fingers Malloy don't care.

A water tax? Really?

The new California governor wants to institute a water tax to help others get access to water. Yeah...it's just an excuse to add yet another tax in the state. Unfortunately, California is not alone in raising taxes. Check out Indiana...and France!

Speaking of water, is it drinkable yet in Flint, MI?

And a guy in Canada gets pulled over in his car for speeding. His excuse? Motley Crue was on the radio, and he just had to drive fast. Do you think that excuse would work? April D. Gregory says she never had to blame the music to get out of a ticket.

Tony Katz thinks Kevin Hart did the right thing by walking away from the Oscars. "He's gonna make movies and make millions! Who needs the headache from the same self-righteous Hollywood that will gladly give Harvey Weinstein his career back...and you know they will!"

This is just part of this week's episode Eat! Drink! Smoke! They review West Fork Whiskey's B-Street Blues Bourbon, the Arturo Fuente Short Story cigar and antelope sliders!

Michael Cohen, President Trump's former lawyer, is why everyone hates politics and politicians. He used his position to grab some extra cash, to the tune of $4 million. He's going to jail, and so should a bunch of other people.

And Baby, It's Cold Outside is not a rape song. It's just not.

Tony Katz — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 21:00:00 -0500

The latest epsidoe of Eat! Drink! Smoke! has Tony Katz wondering why Monica Lewinsky is back in the news? And why is she now saying that former President Bill Clinton may have asked her to lie on an affidavit? And why wasn't this known years ago?

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.

Last week, SNL's Pete Davidson was a tool. This week, he's apologizing to Congressman-Elect Dan Crenshaw. Did SNL get the apology right?

Rep. Nancy Pelosi might get the Speaker's gavel again, and she says gun control is her first priority. Does that also mean that babies with fake guns can not be photographed? What do we mean? Listen, and try to keep your jaw off the floor.

The Snack Size edition of Eat! Drink! Smoke! is focused on chicken and waffles! Tony Katz speaks with Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory about the new menu item at KFC.

Extra crispy chicken. Mrs. Butterworth's syrup. Belgian-style waffles. How could it be better? Fingers has an idea that includes dessert items from a vending machine.

Millennials are most willing to purchase a haunted house. April needs her house smudged, and wait til you hear the gruesome reason why!

Also, Chick-fil-A remains tried and true with the possible addition of mac & cheese to their already perfect menu line-up.

Can we all agree that SNL's Pete Davidson is a tool, right? But can we all agree that the idea of "believe all women" falls apart when you learn of a woman who lied about SCOTUS Justice Brett Kavanaugh; she claimed he raped her. She made it up. And what are the lessons of Pittsburgh? Well, defending yourself is one of them.

The Snack Size edition of Eat! Drink! Smoke! Tony Katz speaks with Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory about the taco cleanse....which is a very real thing.

But it's nothing compared to the lemonade cleanse, which involves drinking and eating nothing but lemonade made with maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Both Fingers and April have done it, and they say it really works.

And that you should definitely keep a bathroom nearby. Eat! Drink! Smoke! was recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis.

The latest episode of Eat! Drink! Smoke! – a review of bourbon, cigars and great food mixed with some conversation of the news and culture of the day with radio host and entertainer Tony Katz.

The Eat? – ?????
The Drink? – Russell's 10 Year Bourbon
The Smoke? – Davidoff Churchill "The Late Hour"

The mob is real. Unless you're Brooke Baldwin on CNN. In that case, there are no mobs going after politicans and others in restaurants and at their homes. Why is the word "mob" now something that network and cable news push back against?

Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, appearing on The View, says that her 12 year-old daughter is an "activist" and a "feminist," and she cried when she learned that another 12 year-old said she wasn't a feminist. What were you like when you were 12? And do parents want their children to be activists?

And Apple screwed over Tony's mom. Did the same thing happen to you?

The latest episode of Eat! Drink! Smoke! – a review of bourbon, cigars and great food mixed with some conversation of the news and culture of the day with radio host and entertainer Tony Katz.

This episode was recorded as the confirmation vote took place on Judge Brett Kavanaugh. He was confirmed to the Supreme Court. So, with him in mind:

**The Eat? – Domino's Pizza
The Drink? – Bud Light
The Smoke? – The Ivy from La Aurora

Kavanaugh's confirmation did not come without controversy, and it has no end in sight. Tony says that Oct. 6th is the day that you can mark the start of the new Civil War. He added to it here - "Look, call it what you will. Maybe someone will come up with a better name for what it is we are seeing in America. But when people call Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, "pro-rape?" We have a problem that doesn't just go away with the next news cycle."

Fingers Malloy likes pineapple and banana pepper pizza. Yeah, it's wierd. But why does pineapple bring out such anger in people, and what's the point of being faux outraged about everything you see and hear? Also, Domino's Philly Cheesesteak Pizza? Not bad at all.

Oh, and Tony flat out disses Chicago pizza.

Vince McMahon, of WWE fame, is restarting the XFL. (No word yet on whether HeHateMe will be playing.) And then there is the American Alliance of Football, being backed by people like long time GM and front office pro Bill Polian.

Is there room for competition with the NFL? Can these leagues deliver high-quality entertainment without the political nonsense? Or does America only have room in their heart for one team, and one league. Even if that league is the NFL, and even if that team is the Lions.

Right, Fingers?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! Episode 5 - Do Women All Think The Same On Brett Kavanaugh, Grades For Doing Nothing, Cupcakes and Pumpkin Spice

The latest episode of Eat! Drink! Smoke! – a review of bourbon, cigars and great food mixed with some conversation of the news and culture of the day with radio host and entertainer Tony Katz.

The Eat? – Gigi's Cupcakes, Indianapolis
The Drink? – Wild Turkey Long Branch Bourbon, in association with Matthew McConaughey
The Smoke? – Davidoff Escurio

The Brett Kavanaugh hearings has media saying that women oppose the Supreme Court nominee. But does CNN, or Sens. Kamala Harris or Mazie Hirono, speak for all women?

A teacher gets fired for giving students a zero for failing to hand in their homework. The school district has a "no zero" policy, and the lowest grade a child can get is a 50%. This sets of an intense and hilarious exchange about parents, students and participation trophies.

And what's with all the hate towards pumpkin spice?

Episode 4 - Google Is Evil, $300 Scotch, Anger at Trump Jr. and Train, Creed or Nickelback?

Tony Katz — Sun, 23 Sep 2018 02:00:00 -0400

The latest episode of Eat! Drink! Smoke! - a review of bourbon, cigars and great food mixed with some conversation of the news and culture of the day with radio host and entertainer Tony Katz.

The Eat? - Cheese! Smoked Gouda, Gruyere, bleu, gorgonzola, and havarti with dill
The Drink? - Macallan Rare Cask
The Smoke? - Table 36, The Peacemaker

Decorum is totally broken in America. A guy boards a Delta flight, drinks too much and headbutts the flight attendant. On SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh, people identified as witnesses say it never happened. Google responded to President Donald Trump's travel ban by changing algorithms to give people results they liked. Forget your politics, that's evil.

And what's worse? Nickelback, Train or Creed?

Episode 3 - Taco Bell Rules America, Checking Nikki Haley's Curtains and Will The Jews Be Insulted?

Tony Katz — Sun, 16 Sep 2018 14:00:00 -0400

The latest episode of [Eat! Drink! Smoke!](http:://facebook.com/eatdrinksmoke) - a review of bourbon, cigars and great food mixed with some conversation of the news and culture of the day with radio host and entertainer Tony Katz.

The Eat? - Taco Bell (named in a poll of 77,000 Americans as the best Mexican Restaurant in America)
The Drink? - Margaritas, made with Casa Pacific Blanco tequila and Grand Marnier
The Smoke? - Davidoff Puro d'Oro

Clearly America is broken, as Taco Bell is voted the best Mexican Restaurant in America. But maybe the real proof is how the New York Times wrote a story about UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and $52,000 curtains...which she didn't even order.

April D. Gregory asks a question about whether or not a certain word is insulting to Jews. That leads to a conversation about BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanction) on college campuses across America, which is definitely insulting to Jews, and to anyone else with a soul.

Oh, and actor Jim Carrey has gotten so woke that he wants to be a Socialist. Hollywood makes people crazy, clearly.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size Edition! - Tim Allen Markets Last Man Standing To Trump Supporters

Tony Katz — Sun, 16 Sep 2018 12:00:00 -0400

On this Snack Size edition of Eat! Drink! Smoke! Tony Katz speaks with Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory about Tim Allen's comments on President Donald Trump.

Allen's show, Last Man Standing - which was cancelled by ABC and has been brought back to TV by FOX after an outpouring of support by conservatives - is about to start airing new episodes. Tim Allen, in an interview, threaded the needle on a question about President Trump that show's that he's far more interested in marketing to Trump supporters than throwing in with Trump supporters.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

But there is a bigger question: Will conservatives watch the show?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size Edition - The Funeral Of Aretha Franklin

Tony Katz — Sun, 02 Sep 2018 10:30:00 -0400

A one hour eulogy that focused on Black Lives Matter, a bishop that groped singer Arianna Grande and made quasi-racist jokes and attendees that included bigots Louis Farrakhan and agitators Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

That is the funeral of Aretha Franklin.

Tony Katz discusses the madness with radio host Alex Clark, radio host and podcaster Fingers Malloy and social media maven April D. Gregory.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 2 - Chick-Fil-A Wins Again, The In-And-Out Boycott Fail and Breastfeeding In America

Tony Katz — Sun, 02 Sep 2018 04:00:00 -0400

Tony Katz hosts an all-new episode of [Eat! Drink! Smoke!](http:://facebook.com/eatdrinksmoke) - a review of bourbon, cigars and great food mixed with some conversation of the news and culture of the day.

The Eat? - Chick-Fil-A breakfast sandwiches
The Drink? - Irish Coffee with Jamesons Black Barrel
The Smoke? - The Griffin's Toro

Why is it that Chick-Fil-A continues to destroy their competition, when they hire from the same employee pool as the everyone else? And why does everyone immediately jump to boycotts the second a company - like In-and-Out burger - does something as normal and boring as a political party contribution?

A female tennis player at the US Open was penalized for taking off her shirt and turning it around (she had a sports bra on.) How this turned into a conversation about breastfeeding is anyone's guess.

When Tony Katz and his friends can't fit everything in to the Eat!Drink!Smoke! podcast, they get together for Happy Hour!

Millennials are not buying Harley Davidson Motorcycles. Is this because millennials are too afraid, or has Harely Davidson failed to properly market their product for a new generation?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Happy Hour Edition - Molly Tibbetts

Tony Katz — Sun, 26 Aug 2018 02:00:00 -0400

Tony Katz and his friends can't fit everything in to the Eat!Drink!Smoke! podcast, they get together for Happy Hour!

When University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts went missing, media covered the story daily. When it was discovered that she was murdered by an illegal immigrant, the coverage changed....and in some cases, disappeared.

Did the murder of Mollie Tibbetts become too political, to quickly? Or did it bring a problem about politics and media front and center?
