Ante and Cirbie welcome Jeff, James, Julian, and Harold to their home for a wonderful meal and a very special podcast episode. We enjoy a variety of cigars and beverages as we talk fair food, how Ante and Cirbie met, Ante's history at UPS, mixed drinks, paranormal experiences, our favorite bars, and much more. Be sure to check out the incredible duets by Ante and Cirbie at the conclusion of the pod!

A fashionably late Harold joins James, Julian, and Graydon for a Grupo de Maestros vintage 2015 cigar curtesy of Graydon. During our smoke we talk about beer, local brewers, leadership in music, beer, Graydon's education, Oktoberfest, beer, and our personal favorite episodes of the podcast. We also get the opportunity to have a few more cigars and converse about beer, the nature of politics in the podcast, and what we look forward to in future episodes.

James, Graydon, and Julian enjoy a Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto I Hexagon in the lounge, while Jeff calls in and has Rocky Patel The Edge Corojo. We also talk about rum, whiskey, Jeff's healthy food drive to Minnesota, RFK, history in America before 1942, Immanuel Kant, and much more!

Graydon and James showcase cigars that are friendly to both palate and budget. Is there a enjoyable stick costing under eight dollars? What about three? Julian gets schooled on what to look for and expect in the realm of affordable smokes. This episode also includes conversations on local fires, social security, and upcoming beers from Grass Valley Brewing Co.

Jeff, James, and Julian enjoy a Bandolero Serie A Aventureros cigar and talk about wildfires, the unhoused, H.O.A.s, how socks refuse to find their match, and when dogs turn not cool. Julian also plays a "little" ukulele, which opens up a discussion about music, instruments we find approachable and/or enchanting, and the jaw dropping performances GV Brewing Karaoke night.

After some delectable sandwiches and lemon ricotta carrots, we sit down for some cigars and beverages. Join us for discussion about childhood foods redeemed, the culture of Costco, who gets a FBJ and who is a hoddy, tattoos, color blindness, hate crimes, fluoride, and much more!

There is a pretty bad echo and Julian did his best. The lesson I (James) learned is record it right the first time.

Sit back relax and grab a cigar and try to enjoy this episode. Julian will sort it out and we will keep getting better. We have great friends to help us get this sorted but the echo wasn't there when we did sound check.

Julian tells us more about himself and shares more AI music with us. I don't remember how and why but we lightly and respectfully try and express our feelings and discomforts around the trans issue. Julian is very patient, with us. We really do try and be compassionate and understanding. Please be patient with us. We are all learning.
