Eat Drink Smoke

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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?

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.

In New York, cops are getting drenched with water by the citizens. It's not cute or playful; it's an attack.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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!

Gregory discuss CNN and Playboy reporter Brian Karem, who was suspended from the White House for 30 days.

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.

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.
