Eat Drink Smoke

Protests over stay-at-home orders are popping up all over America. Why has the issue of re-opening society become so political? What are the true motives of the protestors?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Tony is enjoying a Lito Gomez No7 Small Batch cigar. Fingers Malloy is trying to smoke an Acid Kuba Kuba cigar from Drew Estate. Their drink - a 41 year old bottle of Seagram's V.O. Yes, Seagram's.

Protests over the stay-at-home orders have occurred in states like Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina and Utah. Is this an astroturf movement as some have claimed, or is it an organic reaction to perceived government overreach?

How will America change in a post-lockdown world? How will major professional sports leagues like the NFL and MLB move forward? Will Vegas fully recover? These topics are discussed, as well as Nancy Pelosi's fancy kitchen on this episode of Eat! Drink! Smoke!

Stay safe. Wash your hands. Smoke cigars.

Lots of governors are showing their power-hungy side during coronavirus, trying to ban near everything and control the movements of everyone. Social distancing is one thing, but what Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan is doing is just madness.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Tony is on his deck, enjoying Bravo Bourbon from Hotel Whiskey Tango and an Avo Domaine 70 cigar. Fingers Malloy is on his patio, nursing a Busted Knuckle porter from Quaff On brewing, while enjoying an AJ Fernandez New World.

Gov. Whitmer is not only banning travel to one's own property, she has banned the sale of seeds. Yes....like tomato seeds, to grow your own food. When does America decide to open up, and how do we handle these shameful elected officials?

Actress Alyssa Milano, who continues to be the activist no one ever asked for, has noticed that more people are buying guns because of coronavirus. She fears this means that people will become insane, and use them in school shootings. Listen to the most amazing straw man argument ever!

Stay safe. Wash your hands. Smoke cigars.

It's hard to get together during coronavirus, so this week Tony Katz took some great interviews he recently conducted and brought them to the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast

Tony has started a new web series called Virtual Bourbon. (You should subscribe to his You Tube channel!) Two of his interviews deal with people who have had to deal with coronavirus in different ways.

First, John Rich of the country duo Big and Rich. In addition to being a musician, John is an entrepreneur. He owns a whiskey label called Redneck Riviera, and he has a restaurant in Nashville of the same name. In all of his businesses, he's been forced to figure out how to keep emplopyees afloat. How does he do it, what toll does it take on him? We discuss

Then, Rabbi Ben Sendrow talks about God, faith and coronavirus. When a pandemic like this hits, with thousands of lives lost, people often question God. So Tony asked him about what he gets asked, and how do you answer the old question, Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen To Good People?

John drinks Redneck Riviera, obviously. Rabbi Sendrow drinks Aberfeldy scotch.

Coronavirus continues to dominate the news. And while there are amazing stories of heroism and good works by Americans, media and politicos can't stop the hate. Speaker Pelosi says President Trump is "fiddling" while people die, and he's holding back on providing needed medical equipment. Of course, there is no proof of this. So why say it, other than hate?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com For the first time, it's a review of cognac; Courvoisier VS. It is paired with the CLE Prieto box press cigar.

Joe Biden has started a podcast, called "Here's The Deal." He's running for president, so why is he acting like a talk show host? And is Tucker Carlson right? Will Biden not last as a candidate?

Stay safe. Wash your hands.

With all the coronavirus talk in America, a few things never change:

Some people only want to help.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Today, Tony and Fingers Malloy review Big House Bourbon (on sale for $8.99!!) and the Liga Privada Ratzilla cigar.

Also true: many countries lie about how they are being affected. Is China one of them? And actor Jon Cryer from Two and a Half Men has the worst Trump Hate Tweet ever written. And that's saying something!

Due to coronavirus, Eat! Drink! Smoke! was recorded in Tony's garage.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! hosts Tony Katz wasn't in a quarantine. Co-Host Fingers Malloy was in a self-imposed quarantine. Neither one of them had or ahs coronavirus. But after a week of working from home and staying away from work, they both know that the virus is spreading, and the panic is unnecessary.

But what's worse than the panic is desire of elected officials to use the crisis to achieve their ideological agenda. Forget your politics: Why is an Illinois mayor using coronavirus as a way to stop gun sales?

The Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast is presented by Fanimation.com. They review the Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey and the Litto Gomez No. 7 cigar. Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

All they did was attend the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, MD, just next door to Washington DC. Yet one attendee tested positive for coronavirus. They're both fine, but Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy still have to deal with self-quarantine. Seriously.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Sitting on separate decks, they review the Rocky Patel 2003 Vintage Cameroon cigar, the Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro cigar, Old Forester bourbon and a coffee liquor that has Fingers embarrassed about who he is as a man.

Yes, they are in self-quarantine. No leaving the house for the rest of the week. They're both calm, but the panic across America is pure madness. And why are people making runs on toilet paper at Costco? Nevermind the inability to find hand sanitzer in any store! Can Americans deal with a problem without manufacturing a crisis, and without losing their minds?

Klobuchar is out. Buttigieg is out. And they both endorsed former VP Joe Biden. So what will be the effect on Super Tuesday? Will the supporters of Pete and Amy go to Biden, or is there another candidate that best fits their wants?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. They also have an in-depth conversation with Jeff Stone from Davidoff about cigars, personal preferences and where the American palate is compared to the rest of the world. Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

A video of Michael Bloomberg eating pizza will make you want to puke. Turns out $53 billion may buy you an election, but it can't buy you class.

The corona virus hysteria is just that. And the politicizing of corona virus is downright disgusting. In an interview making its way across the internet, celebrity Dr. Drew Pinsky does a brilliant job admonishing media for hyping up the fear. He also explains how in Indiana then- Governor Mike Pence handled the HIV outbreak, and why it wasn't "bungled" or "mismanaged" like media says.

Sen. Bernie Sanders destroyed the field in Nevada, winning the Democratic caucus handily. In response, media has gone crazy. Did they not know he was a socialist, or did they just realize what being a socialist means for the nation?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Today, they review Aberfeldy single malt scotch and the Davidoff 50th Year Diademas Finas. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Russell Stover, the company that makes the Easter candy you love, has now come out with white fudge bunnies that also taste like blue rasperry. Why would they do such a thing?

Fingers Malloy has choice words for Costco, while April D. Gregory has a creepy story about Southwest Airlines.

When raising children, what matters most? And how do you raise them to have purpose, or a sense of self, in a maddening PC world?

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is running for president. Actually, he's trying to buy the nomination, spending at least a billion dollars to get there. And he's raised the stakes as his campaign confesses that they'd like Hillary Clinton to join him on the ticket.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Today, they review Diplomatico Ambassador rum and the Davidoff Nicaragua box press. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Another lawmaker, this time in Alabama, has decided to propse legislation that would limit the ability for men to obtain Viagra as a way to stand up for abortion rights. This comes up every year or so, and everytime it comes up it's a reminder that women who advocate for this position are not feminists.

But high school girls in Connecticut are suing the state to ensure that transgender students cannot compete against them in sporting events, because it's unfair. These girls are standing up for themselves, and one has to ask how soon will they be attacked for not being "woke" enough?
