Happy Hour - My Father La Gran Oferta Lancero

Tony Katz — Sat, 30 May 2026 13:00:00 -0400

Tony and Fingers light up the My Father La Gran Oferta Lancero, a 7.5 x 38 smoke with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Cuban-seed binder, and Nicaraguan filler.

The cigar opens with leather, pepper, spice, and a debate over whether the finish is wood or bitter espresso. Because obviously, this is where civilization hangs in the balance.

Also on the Happy Hour: Tony talks about his early-morning Indy 500 tradition, Fingers considers upgrading his Masterbuilt Gravity Series grill, and the guys get into Memorial Day barbecue plans, brisket strategy, ribs, grill deals, Cracker Barrel’s summer giveaway, Allegiant Air filling part of the Spirit Airlines void, and whether ordering Cracker Barrel for delivery is a crime against the Republic.

Plus, Defiance Beef, smoked sirloin tip, reverse-seared steak, brisket logistics, and the eternal truth: there is no one “right” way to barbecue, despite what the brisket weirdos on the internet keep telling you.

How To Get Your Memorial Day Grill Going Great!!

Tony Katz — Mon, 25 May 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Tony and Fingers review the My Father La Gran Oferta Lancero and the James E. Pepper Barrel Proof Decanter Bourbon.

The cigar brings early pepper, leather, wood, and a mellowing medium profile that makes a strong case for the humidor. The bourbon turns out to be a hidden gem, with oak, vanilla, fruit, a rich mouthfeel, and a shockingly smooth finish for nearly 110 proof.

Also this week: Memorial Day grilling, Indy 500 cigar traditions, brisket plans, grill deals, Masterbuilt vs. Traeger talk, Allegiant filling Spirit Airlines routes, Cracker Barrel giveaways, old-school lunches, used car chaos, EV range anxiety, and whether anyone should ever order Cracker Barrel delivery.

Plus, Tony explains why the radio call of the Indianapolis 500 is unlike anything else.

This week, Tony and Fingers review Presidente Beer and the Sencillo Platinum Short Churchill cigar.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy host Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

"Diet" soda is disappearing from store shelves, but not for the reasons you may think. It's all about branding, and what the younger generation likes and dislikes. Is this surprising?

New Zealand is looking to ban smoking. There is a very creative proposal now under review that would make it illegal for citizens to smoke if they were born after a certain date... forever. Is this a good idea, or will it lead to a huge black market?

A state liquor control board released the best selling liquor brands in its state for 2021. The results are surprising. The guys share the list -- because Eat! Drink! Smoke! loves a good list.

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 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.

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.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 136 - Drink Westland American Oak Single Malt Whiskey, Review The Davidoff Dominicana Toro Cigar, Meat Shortages, Churchill's Cigar Butt Brings Big Money At Auction And Amazon Prime Day Is Coming!

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?

Speaking of buying stuff -- Amazon Prime Day is coming! When? The guys will fill you in on what you need to know.

Tony Katz — Thu, 24 Oct 2019 10:00:00 -0400

A list created by Rolling Stone Magazine naming their 100 greatest singers of all time was heavily debated on social media. Tony breaks down Rolling Stone's favorites with Fingers Malloy.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - Hollywood Blacklists And How The Hate Drove Tony From Judiasm

Tony Katz — Fri, 06 Sep 2019 02:00:00 -0400

Are Hollywood leftists actively working to keep conservatives out of the business? It's a subject of debate, but when Debra Messing and Eric McCormack called for a list of Trump supporters in Beverly Hills to be published, the debate became a lot more one-sided.

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! presented by Fanimation.com.

Tony, Fingers Mallloy and April D. Gregory take a deep dive into the hate, and how Hollywood really has a penchant for control of others.

So much of this is about how politics have grown hate, and the hate too many have for President Trump. Tony talks about how the politics got in the way of his own religious journey, and how he walked away from - and returned to - Judaism.

The podcast is normally recorded at Blend Bar Cigar. This episode was recorded on Tony's backyard deck.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 50 - Dave Chappelle Gets Honest On PC Culture in his New Netflix Special. The 1792 Small Batch Bourbon and Cohibas!

Tony Katz — Mon, 02 Sep 2019 20:00:00 -0400

Dave Chappelle, in his latest comedy special 'Sticks and Stones,' directs a good amount of focus at those people - the 'Woke' - who want to tell the rest of us how to live, and who want to destroy those who they think have done a wrong. Like, for example, telling a joke.

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! presented by Fanimation.com. They review 1792 Small Batch bourbon and try out a series of non-Cuban Cohibas.

Rep. Beto O'Rourke has responded to a shooting in Texas by selling t-shirts that declare, "THIS IS F****D UP." The proceeds of the shirts go to Mom's Demand Action and other groups that push anti-Second Amendment sentiment.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 49 - Andrew Luck Retires, and Money and Mental Health Matter. Is the Yamazaki 10-year Worth It?

Tony Katz — Mon, 26 Aug 2019 03:00:00 -0400

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has retired. At 29. With millions in the bank. He says the injuries have gotten to him, and he is 'mentally worn down.' Many people are mentally worn down, but don't have the luxury of big bank account to stop working. How will his answer be taken by fans, and the NFL?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! presented by Fanimation.com. With Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory, they review the Yaziki 10-year single malt whiskey and the 7x50 Sobremesa cigar.

Luck's retirement is about more than football injuries; it's part of a growing trend of players who have decided to hang it up early. Is this the new way for millennials, who have a much different view of culture than older generations? And what does this mean for the NFL; will they continue to invest millions in players who leave in their prime, preventing the league from benefitting from their investments?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - Let's Buy Greenland!

Tony Katz — Thu, 22 Aug 2019 08:00:00 -0400

The pumpkin spice craze has hit a new high (low?) with the creation of Pumpkin Spice SPAM. This is just obscene, says Tony Katz. But, according to others, it's just giving the people what they want

On the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com, Tony, Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory discuss the pumpkin spice takeover. Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Friends as a movie? Friends getting a remake? Why is this television show still so popular? And Preisdent Trump said he wanted to buy Greenland, and it turns out he wasn't the only one.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 48 - The Review of Chick-Fil-A Mac and Cheese and the 72 hours that Exposed Rep. Rashida Tlaib and her Hatred of Israel

Tony Katz — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 05:00:00 -0400

In the span of 72 hours, Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar went from being denied access into Israel to being shown as hating Israel so much that one of them, Rep. Tlaib, was willing to throw her own grandmother under the bus.

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! presented by Fanimation.com. Why didn't Reps. Tlaib and Omar go with the rest of the Congressional delegation? Why did they accept funding from an organization that has vocally supported terrorism in Israel? And why did the media spin the facts - or simply fail to report them?

Chick-Fil-A now has mac and cheese. Tony, Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory give the definitive review. They also reviewed the Bardstown Bourbon Company Phifer Pavitt Reserve Bourbon and the Diamond Crown Figurado #6 cigar.

Speaking of Chick-Fil-A, they rank highest in customer loyalty and emotional connection. Makes sense, but how did Taco Bell get into the top 5?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - Cindy Crawford Still Has It, And Some New Yorkers Are Fine With Water Being Thrown On Cops

Tony Katz — Thu, 15 Aug 2019 03:00:00 -0400

In New York, cops are getting drenched with water by the citizens. It's not cute or playful; it's an attack. In some cases, people are filiming the officers while throwing water on them, goading the cops into responding.

There are already laws about assault, says Tony Katz. But what's happening here is far beyond on legal reasoning.

On the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com, Tony, Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory discuss all the ways this new trend causes problem for society. Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Cindy Crawford still looks amazing in her 50's. But when she posted a bikini pic on Instagram, some people decided she was too old for this. Those people, as you will here, are very wrong.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 47 - The 'Do Something' Crowd Wants To Make A Move On Guns, Do They Even Know What They Want? And Monica Lewinsky Manages To Go Lower On Bill Clinton

Tony Katz — Sat, 10 Aug 2019 12:00:00 -0400

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?

On the Eat! Drink! Smoke! Podcast, presented by Fanimation, Tony Katz 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 New Riff bourbon) and the La Imperiosa cigar from Crowned Heads.

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.

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.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - ABC's Ellen Pompeo Tweeted Her Thoughts on the Democratic Debate, And Leftist Twitter Called Her a Racist

Tony Katz — Wed, 07 Aug 2019 16:00:00 -0400

The star of Grey's Anatomy, Ellen Pompeo, did what many Americans do: she voiced her thoughts about the Democratic Debate on Twitter. But it wasn't laudatory of presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris. So, Twitter called her a racist.

Tony Katz hosts the Snack Size edition of Eat! Drink! Smoke! presented by Fanimation.com. Now, so we're clear, nothing that Pompeo said was racist. Not a single word. Pompeo simply thought that Harris' strategy of going after former VP Joe Biden was problematic....specifically, she called the strategy a case of Harris being "overconfident."

Pompeo's tweet wasn't racist, and Pompeo's analysis wasn't accurate. Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 46 - Playboy Reporter Gets Tossed From White House, Will You Eat The Olive Garden Deal and What Do Democrats Want In A Candidate?

Tony Katz — Mon, 05 Aug 2019 06:00:00 -0400

What kind of candidate do the Democrats want? If they nominate a Progressive will America vote for them? If they nominate a moderate, will the Democratic party vote for them?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! presented by Fanimation.com. The debates left everyone with a comment, and with more questions about who the nominee will be than answers.

Tony, Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory discuss CNN and Playboy reporter Brian Karem, who was suspended from the White House for 30 days. This isn't a story of Trump and the administration laying a smackdown on a reporter they don't like. No, this is about how Karem acted at the White House...including threatening a guest of the President.

They review the Old Granddad 114 bourbon and the Davidoff Bellicoso "Special B" cigar, which can only be found (we believe) at Blend Bar Cigar locations across the country. Olive Garden has a $5 meal deal, but April explains that it's no deal at all.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 45 - Is Trump's Baltimore Tweet Racist? A Lesson on Ardbeg Scotch and Let Your Kids Be YouTube Stars!

Tony Katz — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 09:00:00 -0400

The President tweeted about Dem Rep. Elijah Cummings and Baltimore. The media and fellow Democrats screamed racism. But is it?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke!, presented by Fanimation.com. The President often tweets in ways that ride the edge of acceptability. But is the issue here what he said, or that he called out Rep. Cummings - a black Democrat and civil rights icon - for the failures of the city he represents.

"Saying the city is rodent infested is tough talk. But the Baltimore Sun said the same thing. So what's the issue?" - Tony Katz

YouTube stars make money, so why not let your creative kids make content and try and get paid? Beth Anne Kendall represents Ardbeg scotch in Indiana, and she explains that you're not crazy - maybe you don't want to have a cigar with it.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - Trump, A$AP Rocky and How Kim Kardashian Moves Policy. Oh, And That Trailer For CATS

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?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! the Snack Size edition, presented by Fanimation.com. The new trailer for CATS has come out, and everyone in America is losing their mind. Most people hate it. Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory hate it. Tony think's its fine and everyone is over-reacting.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 44 - Restaurant Delivery Drivers! Stop Eating Our Food! Who Had A Worse Week - President Trump or Speaker Pelosi and The Squad?

Tony Katz — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 06:00:00 -0400

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?

Maybe now you understand why we drink bourbon every week!

Eat! Drink! Smoke! is presented by Fanimation.com. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. On this episode, Tony, Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory review the High West American Prairie Bourbon and the Camacho Corojo "Distillery" edition cigar.

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?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - Steak and Bourbon Ice Cream and Tony's World Famous Strip Club Advice

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.

Tony doesn't understand why anyone would go to a strip club, but he does have good strip club advice. Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. On the podcast are Tony, Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory.

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

Democrats are fighting amongst themselves, and all you need to do is sit back and watch the show.

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! sponsored by Fanimation.com Along with April D. Gregory and Fingers Malloy, they review a wine flight - Ruinart Brut Blanc de Blancs champagne, the Double T 2016 chardonnay and Warrior Princess Block pinot noir. (It was supposed to be a rose, but we changed it up.) They also check out the Avo Unexpected series "Passion" cigar.

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! - Snack Size! - 25 Best Beers in America

Tony Katz — Thu, 11 Jul 2019 15:00:00 -0400

USA Today came out with their list of the 25 best beers in America. Were they right? What got left off the list?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! Along with Fingers Malloy, they review Beer Barrel Bourbon from New Holland Spirits and the Arturo Fuente Double Chateau cigar. Eat! Drink! Smoke! is sponsored by Fanimation.com

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! - Episode 40 - An Injection To Increase A Woman's Sex Drive, Politics Before Country On Iran and Whistle Pig Rye

Tony Katz — Sun, 23 Jun 2019 13:00:00 -0400

People are more interested in playing politics than how dangerous it can be to have a war with Iran.

Tony Katz takes a look at the back and forth with Iran, and why America's politicos are far more concerned with gaining political points than supporting the country. "Is Trump hate so extreme that a good Twitter burn is more important than the safety of the nation?"

Tony hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke!, sponsored by fanimation.com. Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Tony and April D. Gregory check out the Whistle Pig 15-year Rye and the La Palina Illumination cigar...as a lancero!

There is plastic in your water, and that's because you wear clothes. People like processed meats...probably because fried bologna is amazing! And April is no fan of an injection for women that increases sex drive. Why, because the female orgasm is way more complicated than a shot!

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 Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! is sponsored by fanimation.com, and is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

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! - 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."

Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN with April D. Gregory and Fingers Malloy.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - Hollywood vs Georgia

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

Can Hollywood force Georgia to bend to their will?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! presented by fanimation.com. Georgia passed a heartbeat abortion bill. Hollywood is doing more and more filming in The Peach State, and has threatened to stop filming if the law is implemented.

The amount spent on filming in Georgia is around $9.5billion. If Georgia gives in, they may keep the money but they will give Hollywood studios and actors even more cultural power When the University of Alabama was told by a donor they should oppose the abortion bill in Alabama, the university gave back the donor's $21million.

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

Tony Katz has never had a Mtn Dew, or a Mountain Dew. Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory decided to fix this injustice.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 37 - The Unrewarding Rye, AOC Is Really Not Helping Bartenders and Tony has Never Had A Mountain Dew

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.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! is sponsored by Horse Soldier bourbon and Fanimation.com. Joining Tony are April D. Gregory and Fingers Malloy.

Tony Katz hosts the Snack Size edition of Eat! Drink! Smoke! With April D. Gregory and Fingers Malloy, Tony talks about whether Kanye has any impact with his politics. Does he reach any voters?

"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.

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/

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - Mentoring in the Me Too Era

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

It seems that #MeToo has backfired. Male employers are no longer as willing to mentor female contemporaries for fear of maybe, possibly, unintentionally, accidentally doing something that can ruin their careers.

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! A review of New Riff bourbon and the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos cigar. Some states want to end the religious exemption for vaccines, and there are zombie raccoons.

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!)

Oh, and someone took a picture of former Yankees baseball player Alex Rodriguez on the john. Privacy really is dead.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.)

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?

Do we iPhone right? A New York Times opinion piece says late founder Steve Jobs did not the device to be so dominant in our lives. But would have been able to foresee the apps we use and the identity people get from their phones?

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.

The latest episode of Eat! Drink! Smoke! reviews Prichard's Tennessee Malt Whiskey and the Florida Sun Grown toro cigar from Drew Estates.

There's no deal on the shutdown, and the Women's March took place. So did the March for Life, but you didn't hear about it...unless you learned that Ben Shaprio lost two sponsors because of his speech.

And a New York restaurant has barred women from sitting at the bar, because they may be confused for hookers.

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 — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 12:00:00 -0500

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.

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.

The Snack Size! Edition of Eat! Drink! Smoke! has Tequila and Rudolph this Christmas season!

Tony Katz, along with April D. Gregory and Fingers Malloy, discuss how tequila can help one lose weight...and you don't even have to puke to do it.

Then, April explains why the classic tale of Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, is a terrible story of an abusive Santa Claus. Fingers contends its just a cartoon, and getting worked up about it is nonsense. Tony tries to understand them both...he should have ordered some shots of tequila.

Charlie Brown is not a racist. Tony Katz starts this Eat! Drink! Smoke! Snack Size Edition with the breakdown of how social media is going crazy over a Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving, claiming that it shows insensitivity to Franklin, a Peantus gang character who is black.

Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory explain their drinking issues, then break down how Tony is not a bro. It's true. He's a good guy. Great friend. Just not a bro.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 13 - Sarah Michelle Geller Did Not Fat Shame You, and the Caravan Isn't Getting An Honest Debate

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.

**THIS WEEK'S REVIEWS
The Drink? – Maker's Mark Private Select
The Smoke? – Davidoff Millenium

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.

**THIS WEEK'S REVIEWS
The Drink? – Col. E.H. Taylor Bourbon
The Smoke? – Four Kicks Limited Edition

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.

On this Snack Size edition of Eat! Drink! Smoke! Tony Katz talks with Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory about government regulations. Are they necessary, no, or where is the line drawn? Are we responsible for our own choice of healthcare provider?

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

And why does everyone freak out about Daylight Saving Time?

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.

Is Megyn Kelly really a racist, or did NBC just find a great way to get rid of a $69 million mistake? What have we learned about the alleged Trump-loving pipe bomber? Chelsea Handler thinks its fun to make fun of gay people, or, at least, Sen. Lindsey Graham. And what's the best Halloween candy?

If you win the Mega Millions lottery - currently $1.6 billion - what would you do? Or, what wouldn't you do? A caravan of immigrants is coming from Honduras, and it looks much more like an invasion. Who wants cereal wine, and is Hillary Clinton seriously thinking about running in 2020?

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?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! Episode 6 - Brett Kavanaugh Confirmed And The Pineapple Pizza Fight

Tony Katz — Sun, 07 Oct 2018 09:00:00 -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.

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.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! – Snack Size Edition! – New Football Leagues Are Forming To Compete With The NFL. Does Anyone Care?

Tony Katz — Sun, 30 Sep 2018 22:00:00 -0400

On this Snack Size edition of Eat! Drink! Smoke! Tony Katz speaks with Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory about the new competitiors to the NFL

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?

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?

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.

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.
