They talk about the rise of Dogecoin.

They talk about innovations, advancements, discoveries we didn't hear about in 2020 because of all the 'noise'.

Reminding everyone about Cigar Rights of America and Cigar for Warriors while we're thinking about it.

They look at the 1.9T and 900B breakout. Allowing the power company to shut off the power to prevent them from getting even more in debt. What? Hoping that the infrastructure bill will actually do some infrastructure improvements. The boys smoke an Espinosa Crema and drink some Buffalo Trace. The entry level BT.

Today is a rambling that really does feel like a cigar lounge because it is aimless. They talk about the TV shop Cops, Bills Boston Visit, dealing with Karens, interesting activities in Vegas.
