In this laid-back episode, the Amber Lounge crew—Miguel, John, and Z—kick things off with some lighthearted banter about dog mishaps before diving into their featured Julius Caesar cigar. They discuss the cigar’s history, construction, and the art of appreciating a good band, then spontaneously decide to move the podcast into Miguel’s backyard treehouse. While enjoying a classic Mexican reposado tequila, the group shares tasting notes and jokes about drinking before noon. The conversation turns personal as they reminisce about tinkering as kids, family time, and nostalgic games like pogs. Z opens up about his fascination with astrophysics and entropy, keeping things accessible and fun. The crew then swaps travel stories from Haiti, Canada, and Sri Lanka, reflecting on the value of local culture and adventure. They wrap up with a playful debate about trading English for another language, rate their cigars and tequila, and close with a call for feedback and some classic inside jokes. The episode is a blend of humor, camaraderie, and genuine storytelling, all set in the unique setting of a backyard treehouse.0:00 – Dog poop & episode intro1:19 – Julius Caesar cigar talk5:35 – Treehouse move & build story8:41 – Tequila tasting13:20 – Tinkering & childhood memories16:08 – Astrophysics & entropy18:20 – Travel stories22:04 – Language swap & cigar culture23:37 – Cigar & tequila ratings27:25 – Wrap-up & outro
