Burgers, Bikes, And Biker Talk

A perfect ride can still start with a dead battery and end with you soaked in the parking lot, and we’re not pretending otherwise. We kick things off with pure garage energy: the crew tearing into a next-level smash burger, trading jokes, then reliving a jump-start nightmare where the rain only hits when the hoods open. It’s funny, it’s frustrating, and it’s exactly the kind of real-life chaos every rider recognizes.

From there, we roll into the heartbeat of the motorcycle lifestyle: Father’s Day stories, local hangs, and what’s coming up on the live music and biker events calendar. Pat shares highlights from charity rides like the Ride for Autism and the Biker Down run, plus a full recap of seeing Red Hot live and the debut of their new guitarist. If you’re searching for motorcycle events, charity runs, bike nights, or live bands that actually show up for the community, you’ll get a solid list of leads and the kind of word-of-mouth you can trust.

We also go deep into the machines themselves with a garage tour and talk about high-mileage motorcycles, what breaks first, and why electrical gremlins can haunt even the best builds. Then Rod drops a seriously detailed cigar segment, from how to toast and cut to what flavors show up as the cigar “turns” through each third, plus pairing ideas for when the ride is over and it’s time to sit still. We wrap with practical protection talk too: motorcycle accident legal help, smart financial planning, and why riders should think ahead before money ever hits their hands.

SPEAKER_05 4:22

The British say bloody. That's their big curse.

SPEAKER_08 4:24

All right, so anyway, so my day started out good. It actually did start out great. I got up this morning feeling great. I had my Lavaza coffee. Then I realized it was a year ago. Today I was in Italy.

SPEAKER_02 4:37

And I was like, no, no, that sucks.

SPEAKER_08 4:39

You know what I'm saying? Anyway.

SPEAKER_02 4:40

Because you never talk about Italy.

SPEAKER_08 4:41

I never talk about Italy. Never. Never.

SPEAKER_05 4:44

Wait, you went to Italy?

SPEAKER_08 4:46

No, we did. I went to Italy. It was amazing.

SPEAKER_02 4:48

Yeah, little Italy in New York City.

SPEAKER_08 4:49

So that's now. Last year I was actually stepping in Rome. I had my uh hay dudes on, my shoes, and my kids

Rainy Jump Start Misery

SPEAKER_08 4:58

all bust my balls also about talking about Italy. I go, look at my hay dudes. You see him? I go, these are special. Because I got a gelato stain from Rome on them. Okay. Anyway. So never gonna wash it. So anyway, I had a great day today. You know, got done early. I figured, okay, I get to the studio, maybe I'll clean this up a little bit in here. You know what I mean? So I parked my work truck, I get in my car, I got my headphones on, I start my car. Next thing you know, I'm like, did my car turn off? Car turned off and won't start again. I don't know what happened there. So I got my big work truck, I pulled it up, I got in when I got my cables, it started right up. Boom, nice. So now I'm on my way to the to the studio. I said, let me stop and get my coffee. The car I must have left a light on or something, I don't know. Maybe I never started it. I don't know. Maybe got my headphones on, I wasn't thinking. So I go to I stop at the quick check. Quick check, ching ching, ching. Anyway, I get out, I get my coffee, get back in, it's dead. My car is totally dead. Meanwhile, it's cloudy out, but it's not raining. So I call Pat, I'm like, Pat, I mean you just stop here on the way. Then I realized that Jonathan lives right here in Colmack. Can you swing by give me a quick jump? Sure, he's coming to the studio anyway. Quick check, it's only like walking distance from here. Right. So he pulls up, and the second we popped the hoods, the skies opened up.

SPEAKER_05 6:22

It was like uh Shreshank redemption, yeah. Standing in the rain.

SPEAKER_08 6:25

Right. The skies opened up to the I couldn't believe the rain. It was coming down like holy shit. So we get the cables on, it ain't happening. The car was not starting. I don't know what the hell we're doing wrong. We're soaking wet, blah, blah, blah. So John goes, I got a jumper at home. They go get it. So he leaves. So the minute he leaves, the rain stops. It's beautiful out, just cloudy. All right. So John returns and said, I couldn't find my thing. We go for the cable. The minute we pop the hoods, the skies open up again.

SPEAKER_05 6:55

Right?

SPEAKER_08 6:55

The minute we pop the hoods.

SPEAKER_05 6:56

It was insane.

SPEAKER_08 6:58

Insane. So we got the car started, and uh, it's actually outside running right now. I got locked up and it's running. Because I I gotta figure out I gotta get it to my son. Thank God that works at Dodge. So so anyway, so let's just say hello to Jonathan and uh I was Pat again. Hey guys, how was the weekend? How was your father's day? Happy Father's Day, everybody.

SPEAKER_02 7:18

Happy Father's Day. Happy Father's Day, everybody. So what'd you do, Pat? I just went I just went out for lunch. That was it? Yeah, that was it. Nothing, nothing major, nothing extravagant. Like I said, my daughter lives out in Arizona, so.

SPEAKER_02 7:31

Um, she will once in a while. You know, like she didn't come for Father's Day. Oh, okay, all right. Which is fine. I you know, you know, she's got her own life, and God bless. Oh, nice.

But you know, I went to go to the butter cookie, which is one of the greatest bakeries around. And the line was going out the door. I said, you know what? I'm gonna stop at Stopping Shop. I stopped there, nothing good. I told my daughter, I'm bringing enterments. That's it. I love enterments. You can't go wrong with enterments. You can't go wrong with enterments.

You're building some motorcycles, you built some really awesome looking motorcycles. You got a great garage. Talk to us about these bikes. What do we got?

SPEAKER_19 25:55

Okay. Well, let me turn the camera around. Yeah. There's a couple mini bikes.

SPEAKER_08 26:06

Now, John, what John does a lot is he uh he fixes up these mini bikes and we send them to Daytona, and they they race with them usually at the broken smoke, or yeah, but Chris isn't

Garage Tour And Bike Builds

SPEAKER_08 26:17

doing that no more because some crazy racking them and shit like that, you know. I don't know my microwave in the studio is making noises. I don't know why. We use it four times, maybe. I don't know.

SPEAKER_19 26:30

Yeah, and then here's a couple my other my bikes here. That's nice. This bike's got 225,000 miles on it. Really? That's sweet. Yeah, geez. I painted, I did the paintwork and everything here last year. Then it's my ultra classic.

SPEAKER_08 26:49

That's the one I've seen. Yeah, I've seen that one. You got a little you got a little trailer pulling that one, right?

SPEAKER_19 26:55

I do. That's cool. Yeah, it's up, it's up around the house there. Then there's my uh there's my dog, Maisie. She's mad, she's walking away. Maisie, your bike smoke me. All right. Oh, I I forgot. I have this thing too.

SPEAKER_08 27:15

Yeah, it looks like it's a storage bin right now.

SPEAKER_19 27:17

Oh, wow. Yeah, I know. I was just moving some stuff around in the garage.

SPEAKER_08 27:22

This is what you get when you don't have any kids, guys. All right, just so you know, when you don't have any children, you can do stuff like this.

SPEAKER_19 27:29

Well, yeah, then my race car's up in the trailer, so but it's just sitting there. I think I'm thinking about buying a drag bike.

SPEAKER_08 27:38

A drag bike, right?

SPEAKER_19 27:40

Oh.

SPEAKER_06 27:45

Did you see Spider-Man's wipe out the other day? I did, actually. That was scary as hell, man. That that bike just locked up and he went flying.

SPEAKER_08 27:56

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_19 27:57

Well, yeah, but you know what? If you really look at the video, he was kind of like he won the race and then he waved. Well, you're doing 200 mile an hour, you know, and it blew him off, is what happened. You know, but I was uh this past weekend, I had the opportunity to go. I was at the National Trappers Association rendezvous on Thursday, and then Friday and Saturday I was at High Point Raceway for the pro motor cross races.

SPEAKER_08 28:27

So what do you prefer? What's your favorite bike, John?

SPEAKER_19 28:35

I you know what that Honda V65 I have over there, it'll outdo any Harley. It's smooth, it's shaft drive, it's 120 horsepower, and that was a 1983. Come come with that horsepower, you know.

SPEAKER_08 28:52

Right.

SPEAKER_19 28:52

So, you know, back in when I was I used to race them, and back then in the 80s, when I was racing them, I never lost against the Harley. I mean, I beat them all because the technology wasn't there then, you know. But the bikes to race against was your KZ1000s and 900s and your Yamaha V Max's that had the big horsepower.

SPEAKER_08 29:13

Right, right. So, how many bikes have you built?

SPEAKER_19 29:17

Oh, I don't know.

SPEAKER_08 29:19

You don't know?

SPEAKER_19 29:20

A bunch. Yeah, I don't know. I mean I can't.

SPEAKER_08 29:24

What do you prefer working on working on Harley's Yamaha's? It it don't matter how many cars.

SPEAKER_19 29:29

Well, no, car, like for instance, car-wise, I stick with Chevy, you know, GM products, but uh, I didn't ask about a fucking car.

SPEAKER_05 29:41

You didn't really car mayhem radio.

SPEAKER_19 29:45

As these motorcycles are getting miles on them, you're always maintaining them, you're always doing stuff to them, you know.

SPEAKER_08 29:52

So what's the big uh a bike that you just showed us has 225,000 miles on it? What are the things you have to look for on that bike that stuck going like bad first? Having that many miles.

SPEAKER_19 30:03

Your uh electric.

SPEAKER_08 30:04

The electricos?

SPEAKER_19 30:06

Okay, yeah. The uh I don't know what it is, a bottom, but the uh wiring and stuff, there's always a ghost in there somewhere, you know.

SPEAKER_08 30:16

Oh, yeah. I think I got a ghost in my truck right now. I think the one right.

SPEAKER_19 30:22

I mean, I got it all figured out. I just actually put a crank sensor in my ultra classic. So that's good. New air cleaner. I cleaned the uh fuel injection system out, which made it run a lot better. But the that softtail with all the miles on it, I the carburetor was bad. So I cheapened out and bought a Chinese carburetor.

SPEAKER_08 30:47

No, let me are they easier now to work on, or back in the day, like old style easy to work on, or is it everything's too computerized these days?

SPEAKER_19 30:56

Oh no, I I don't want nothing to do with this computer stuff. It's like, for instance, when I was in Daytona, you know, every I I test rode a bunch of different bikes BMWs, Harley's, Honda's. Um, I was looking for at adventure bikes, and every one of them says you could plug your phone in it and put an app in and everything like that. I'm like, no, I don't want to do that.

SPEAKER_04 31:19

I want to ride my motorcycles, you know.

SPEAKER_19 31:21

Yeah, talk about you know, I want to ride, I I want to ride my motorcycles. I don't want to fuck around on the phone, I don't want to listen to music or anything

Old School Riding Versus Tech

SPEAKER_19 31:30

like that. The other day I was going up the road and some kid was pulled over on his Harley, so I stopped to help him. You know what was wrong? What he had these fucking speakers like this big in the in the saddlebags, and then big ones on the fairing. His amp was overheating. I said that motherfucker. I said on his amp for hysteria. I said, take that fucking thing and throw it over the guardrail and go ride your motorcycle. You don't need all that shit in there, you know. I and I'm serious. I mean, that's you don't need all that crap. Just go ride your bikes, you know. You know, my soft tail might that Honda is an 83. Yeah, 83. There's nowhere to plug a phone in or nothing, just ride it.

SPEAKER_08 32:15

You gotta that's the whole thing. You want to ride your bike, man? I mean, I got a I got a roguelide, it has a beautiful stereo, I got a sinister sound on the bike.

SPEAKER_19 32:24

By the way, I remember riding with you in Daytona when we went to go eat that day, and I'm trying to catch you, and you're you're jamming to the drums. I wrote I went all over the Murray Beach that way. What the fuck is he doing? I'm jamming, man. You know, you gotta know, but I'm trying to, I'm trying to get your attention because we're trying to. I told you I seen Chris Callan, so we turned around to see Chris Callan. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, that day. I'm like, fuck, he's doing fucking 70 in a 35 zone. He's jamming to the drums. I'm like, what is this guy doing?

SPEAKER_08 32:56

I gotta tell you, John took me to this. I'm like, I want to go to like like the one of these diners to have a nice breakfast, man. You know, I'm out early. I'm like, you know, let's get breakfast. I'm thinking pancakes, you know, still what you think. Waffle House. He takes me to a bar. I'm like, what fucking Rudy's bar? That was that that breakfast was badass. I will say, yeah.

SPEAKER_19 33:18

But then see, you don't know the history down here like I do in Daytona, but that was Rudy's bar. Now, Rudy is an old school biker guy from uh he's from not Ukraine, but he's from over that part of the the world somewhere, and he worked his ass off to have these couple, he had a couple big bars, and he did a lot for the motorcycle uh um community in Daytonum. But he just turned out he wasn't there that day when we were, you know, we were there. We had to put up with his bartender.

SPEAKER_08 33:51

Let's say hello to Rich out there. Rich is from Sagatoga, New York.

SPEAKER_02 33:57

And John, just so you know, uh Johnny's five feet in front of me, and I have to get his attention. You know, that's true. It's not always easy.

SPEAKER_08 34:06

That's true. Because usually I'm eating.

SPEAKER_19 34:08

Yeah, and then I did see you guys at the uh cabbage badge.

SPEAKER_08 34:13

The cabbage badge?

SPEAKER_18 34:14

Remember?

unknown 34:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 34:15

Oh, yeah, we didn't really want to see the cabbage badge. You know what it is? When you go to Daytona, especially when like I go with the show, and you know, there's so much, you know, I can't just go to Daytona and relax and have a good time. I've always got to do something. I always gotta be somewhere. You know what I mean? Same thing with Louie. Louis's down there, and you know, me and Louis are constantly going on stage, maybe, or throwing out shirts, or just doing stuff in Daytona. I just want to go there and take a day and go in the pool. We did that in Italy, right? Last year, I know I'm not talking about it.

SPEAKER_02 34:43

You never talk about Italy, I know.

SPEAKER_08 34:44

We took 21 days in Italy. We took one day, me and Don, and did absolutely fucking nothing. We sat by the pool, ate pizza, drank beers, and that was it. That was our day. That was the best. I want to do that in Daytona, too. Can never do that. Oh, it's gotta be somewhere. Do they have dominoes in Italy? Hell no, are you kidding me? You get shot if you say that.

SPEAKER_02 35:02

I can't even believe you asked that question. Domino. Just stop at do they have dominoes? No. Doesn't matter where it is.

SPEAKER_08 35:09

You know, the funny the funny part about that is, you know, kidding around before we even went to Italy. You're like, I love 7-Eleven coffee. I thought it was the best in the world. So I'm saying, I hope they have 7-Eleven in Italy, man. I gotta get coffee. Don't says to me, once you drink their coffee, you're not gonna even think about 7-Eleven anymore. And you know what?

SPEAKER_05 35:27

Now you're on quick check. Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_08 35:30

That's iced coffee. That's iced coffee, man. Gotta have the iced coffee. But uh, you're right.

SPEAKER_02 35:40

But Domino's. Welcome to Motorcycle VM Radio where we discuss Johnny's eating habits.

SPEAKER_08 35:46

Yeah, here you go.

SPEAKER_05 35:48

Domino's doesn't use real dough. I I've had 7-Eleven pizza, so I love how Daniel spoke dough like a deer.

SPEAKER_08 35:55

I've had 7. You know what? I've had 7-Eleven pizza in Daytona.

SPEAKER_05 36:01

I thought you were gonna say in Italy.

SPEAKER_08 36:03

No. But you know what they do have in Daytona? They have like the iHop is open like 24 hours there.

SPEAKER_02 36:09

Oh, that's nice.

SPEAKER_08 36:10

So you can go there at 3 o'clock in the morning.

SPEAKER_05 36:12

I'm sure they have Denny's, too.

SPEAKER_08 36:13

There's a Denny's there too. But one time we made the mistake by getting crystals down there.

SPEAKER_05 36:18

Crystals is like a fake uh white castle.

SPEAKER_08 36:21

Yeah, it's it's their version of White Castle, which is fucking disgusting. They got they put they they put lettuce and tomato on their burgers. Who puts lettuce and tomato on a White Castle burger?

SPEAKER_05 36:30

I have to say, my mother used to put lettuce and tomato on a white castle burger. Really? But it was that was never my thing.

SPEAKER_08 36:36

See, one thing about White Castle, okay? How old are they? About 100 years old? I mean, they'll not didn't do anything to improve themselves. And it's the best.

SPEAKER_05 36:45

How do you improve on perfection?

SPEAKER_08 36:47

That's right.

SPEAKER_05 36:47

Exactly.

Daytona Memories And Ride Culture

SPEAKER_08 36:49

So Rob, what do you got down there? That's good. Anything?

SPEAKER_06 36:53

Uh around here? No. No, uh, you gotta go into Scranton to get to the uh the fast foods and stuff. Uh everything around here is local bars, restaurants, but really good stuff around here. But as far as like White Castle, no, no, I when I go back to the island, I'll bring home a case or something. You got it. And you know one of the one of the things about being up here is that uh very rarely hit the fast food. Um McDonald's is the closest, and that's 20 miles away. Everything else you like, yeah. Wow, no, yeah. I got no, I got no fast food within like five minutes of my house.

SPEAKER_08 37:31

Really? Well, I gotta say, me and Dawn did eat McDonald's in Rome. We found a McDonald's. There's a couple of them. There's some Burger Kings and McDonald's in in in Italy. I had McDonald's and chili.

SPEAKER_06 37:45

You know, McDonald's and chili.

SPEAKER_08 37:47

You know, you know what it tastes like, McDonald's in Italy? Like McDonald's used to taste here before they started putting all the bullshit in it.

SPEAKER_05 37:53

I thought you said it tastes like pizza.

SPEAKER_08 37:55

Yeah, right. But you know what's so funny? You know, you go into McDonald's and they have like their bakery, it's like a real bakery in there, and they get really good stuff with the LaVaza machine, and then they have wine and beer on the menu.

SPEAKER_05 38:08

So I I had McDonald's in Tel Aviv. It was awful because it was kosher. It was terrible.

SPEAKER_08 38:15

What does that mean? I thought kosher was just a blessing.

SPEAKER_05 38:16

No, no, no. But you can't mix the milk and meat, so there's no cheese, no bacon. Oh. Then why even bother? Exactly. It was it was horrible.

SPEAKER_08 38:25

Can I can I eat a shoe instead?

SPEAKER_02 38:28

No bacon, no cheese? I mean, come on, then what's the point? Right?

SPEAKER_19 38:31

Oh my god. Yeah, what's wrong with these people? I tell you.

SPEAKER_02 38:34

Well, check in check Israel off a place I'm never going to. Yeah, I don't have any reason to go there.

SPEAKER_08 38:41

Forget Israel. We're not doing it. No.

SPEAKER_19 38:44

There's too much going on now, you know?

SPEAKER_05 38:46

Although the falafel there was the best I've ever had.

SPEAKER_19 38:49

Well, in in Israel. In Israel. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 38:51

That falafel?

SPEAKER_05 38:52

Oh, phenomenal. Really? At a roadside stand in uh Orakiva, Israel. It was unbelievable.

SPEAKER_08 38:57

Wow, okay. Yeah. I won't eat that shit here. I'm not gonna go there anything. You know, it's funny. We're we're in Queens, not far from Dawnstadt, there's a corner, and there's a one on each corner. It's like, how do these guys do business? You go there at three o'clock in the morning, they're still there.

SPEAKER_05 39:11

It's like gas stations. You got one on each corner up here.

SPEAKER_08 39:14

I'll tell you, what they do have in Italy, though, is these things called the the uh the grill, the uh auto grills, right? With the on the road. It's like it's like the rest areas you see going like down the turn of pike. Like our parking rides? Sort of. Like like not on the parking lot, not like exit 52. What do you know about that?

SPEAKER_05 39:31

What do you know about that?

SPEAKER_20 39:32

What do you know about it?

SPEAKER_02 39:34

I don't know, man. That's killing me. Anyway, but I have no idea what these gentlemen are talking about, just so you know. We saw you there. What is there?

SPEAKER_19 39:42

A bunch of lot lizards hanging out.

SPEAKER_08 39:44

Pretty much, not none. You have a male lizards, male lot lizards. No, Lorley Pop Park. There you go. No, so no, the oil grills are like the rest of the areas along the Judge Hunter Park. You know, you can go in there and have the broken and all that stuff. But this is like an upscaled, you pull in there, you can go have your coffee, five-star restaurant in there. You can get all whatever kind of sandwiches you can think of. Amazing stuff. So we hit, we drove over 1,500 miles at the same time. Exactly. Well, you can do that anywhere. We drove over 1,500 miles around Italy, and we stopped in almost everyone we passed.

SPEAKER_05 40:21

Wait, how many kilometers was that? I don't know.

SPEAKER_08 40:25

You got you got me on that one now. No, you got me on that one. So I'm trying to do this because Louis sent me the pictures late, so I can't I can't figure it out. We'll see. I forget it. I'll have to talk. I'll have to talk it. Anyway, so uh let me see, where can we go from here?

SPEAKER_05 40:46

Wait, Rod, uh how do you how do you pair a uh a White Castle with a with a cigar?

SPEAKER_08 40:52

I don't you smoke the white castle, this is good.

SPEAKER_05 40:57

There you go.

SPEAKER_06 40:57

That's just you know cigar is one of these things that it's uh it's a beauty little uh pleasure of life, and to scarf down 36 white castles and then go and smoke a phenomenal cigar, for me it's kind of sacrilegious. Give me a nice ribeye, a nice freaking two-day

Road Food Debates And Travel Stops

SPEAKER_06 41:20

sauteed uh marinated flat iron, little filet mignon prime rib with a cigar. Yeah. White castle, you know what? Give me a pack of Marlboro short and a box of shit. How about a Philly blood?

SPEAKER_02 41:33

Marlboro short. I'm just thinking at the 36 White Castles. You're officially on the clock trying to get back on.

SPEAKER_08 41:38

I mean, I can't, you know. Here's my philosophy with White Castle, okay? When you're in your 20s, you can eat it every day. When you're 30s, you eat it maybe three, four times a week if you want. You start hitting 40, you're like, I maybe I'll have like two a week, like twice a week. When you're in your 50s, you gotta say to yourself, What am I doing tomorrow? What am I doing?

SPEAKER_07 42:05

Am I gonna be on the I gotta be prepared because I'm gonna eat the white gala, I gotta know what I'm doing tomorrow. When you hit your 60s, you're like, what am I doing for the rest of the week? You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 42:15

So when you think you hit your 60s, you gotta make sure you have your depends right again. Exactly.

SPEAKER_05 42:19

But but when you're in your 70s, you're back to eating them every day. Yeah, there you go.

SPEAKER_07 42:23

It doesn't matter at that point because you're probably wearing the pension. Exactly.

SPEAKER_06 42:26

Gotcha. Am I gonna drink this drink or go get a crepe case? There you go.

SPEAKER_08 42:39

There you go. You have the crepe case and boom, you're cleaned out.

SPEAKER_05 42:43

Or bad night of Taco Bell do the same thing.

SPEAKER_08 42:45

Your taco bell, you know what? Remember Jack in the Box?

SPEAKER_05 42:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 42:49

I'll say the same thing about Jack in the Box. A bunch of years ago, maybe like eight, nine years ago, I was in North Carolina, and we get to the hotel and we look in the parking lot, and there's a jack in the box in the parking lot. I'm like, holy shit! I haven't had a jack in the box in like 40 years, right? So we went there, just like White Castle, after all those years, they did nothing to improve themselves. It was amazing. The grease in the bottom of the taco, the horse meat.

SPEAKER_05 43:16

And my brother-in-law was just uh in Austin, Texas, and he had taco, he had uh uh Jack in the Box, and he said the exact same thing as about a couple weeks ago.

SPEAKER_08 43:24

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I love Texas, man, because you know what they also have there, they have that other burger place, the In N Out Burger, which I think it's a Whataburger, yeah?

SPEAKER_06 43:34

Yeah, Whataburger.

SPEAKER_08 43:35

The Whataburger is amazing too. So now, remember Whataburger? You know, when me and Rod, me and Rod were in Texas together, and we stopped at a Whataburger one night and we got like a shitload. It was one of those we were drinking till like three o'clock in the morning, the bar was over, and then the hotel van picked us up and we're like, Stop at the water burger, stop at the water. So the burger was so good, but I knew that we were gonna be going in the mill the the hills. For like two days camping with these guys. So I had a burger with me in my bag for like three days. He tried to get on the plane.

SPEAKER_02 44:10

Oh, God, that's nasty.

SPEAKER_08 44:13

Rod’s Cigar Pick And How To Smoke

SPEAKER_05 48:53

just ran across the studio.

SPEAKER_08 48:54

Oof. Talking about whiteys, man. This went through the system, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_06 49:00

Oh, geez, we're uh here we go. This is, I don't know if you can see it. I didn't have a chance to send Johnny the picture, but this is from my father. Um, if you're a fan of my father's cigars, this is an interesting cigar. This is the blue. This is a recent addition to their family. This was uh blended by Jose Papin and his son Jamie Garcia, uh, from My Father's. This is a pretty much a 100% Honduran binder and filler cigar, which is surprising. Uh I'm I'm I'm kind of thrilled with this beautiful Connecticut, broadly uh rapper on it, gorgeous-looking cigar. The artwork on it is just amazing. Um, but if you're familiar with my father's cigars, they have a really interesting peppery note to them, sometimes a little bit harsher than some people would like. This one is surprisingly um different. It's a very mild uh cigar for the uh my father's line. It's it's kind of pepper nuts, but it's very, very subtle and very like subdued, and it and it's it's kind of cool. Um, like I said, this thing is is uh Honduran uh binder and film, Connecticut broadleaf uh smoke. Beautiful construction on it. It's a stunning cigar. I I really enjoyed smoking this the other day. Uh and if anyone's ever if you remember me from years ago, and if you're an average cigar smoker, you know that these cigars all turn on you. Uh there's either one turn, two turns, or three turns on the cigar, the way they're blended. Uh so when I say the turn, the first third, second, third, third turn on this guy. It's got three turns on it. Uh the first third of the cigar, it opens up with those peppery notes that are my father famous for. But then it turns into this little creamy, woodsy note. There he goes with the creamy. All right. But yeah, the pepper subdues a little bit, and the creaminess, the woodsy notes come through. And it's it's rather pleasant. But the second note got me because the pepper faded, and a cocoa, creamy, really rich, earthy notes came on to it. And I was like, I was very surprised. And first first third of the cigar, a little bit of uh I don't want to say tough smoke. Uh, this the smoke that was coming out of it wasn't as thick as I I've seen from my father. Second, third, it got really thick, cloudy smoke, real full ball cane. The aroma on the on the afternoon was beautiful. Just sitting here with smelling the smoke coming off the foot of the cigar was fantastic. And that's what I expect from my father. Uh then last, it got beautiful. It darkened up, it got some really hard, leathery notes, real coffee, some dark cocoa kicked in. So for me, the last third of the cigar was phenomenal. Uh burned beautiful. Uh, I toast up, and if you guys remember, I'm I'm I like to toast up the cigar a little bit before I light it. I want to get the the oils in the tobacco to kind of open itself up. And a good kind of source uh cigar smoker is gonna want those notes to open up. The minute you hit it with a ladder right away, you're gonna lose those flavors from the tobacco oil, because as the heat comes into the cigar, the oils come out. And you want to get those oils to just give you all that flavor. So I'll toast before I like the cigar, let the oils come out. And let me tell you something, it burned beautifully. It's not an issue. I didn't have any problem with the cap. It's a triple cap, which is an interesting thing, too, because a lot of people are, you know, their caps will pull a little bit. Like this little feel again that I'm smoking a little bit. The cap is a little bit uh not bad for me, but I had a little bit of uh uh an opening on it. But it's all good. But this thing has a triple cap, didn't have an issue smoking it at all. Draw was phenomenal, real easy, real open draw, creamy smoke, and it really it fills your palate. Retro hell is amazing. And it it's this is one that I don't recommend you take out on the bike and just puff away when you're at a stop. This one, hit the bar, hit your hit, you know, your your stop. If you're gonna be in there for an hour and a half, two hours, that's when you like this. Nice worth sitting back enjoying. I will um I'm gonna go Jack Gentleman to pair with this to start off. Uh Angel Zandling with the smoke feeders, real good cigar for the uh uh Burman for this. Um Woodford Reserve. That's another one. That's your uh recommendation this week. This is a phenomenal, phenomenal cigar. Find it, try it, give it a work.

SPEAKER_05 54:03

Hey, Rod, I I I got a couple questions. Uh so first of all, do you take the ring off or you or do you smoke it with the ring on?

SPEAKER_06 54:12

I prefer, I prefer to take the ring off uh when I smoke. Um because at some point I'll be like, start fiddling with it. Right. I I I um I'd much rather get the ring off prior to getting a burn near there because if the if the wrapper has the the the the brittleness of it, and then you're gonna peel the ring off, you'll pop the wrapper. Yep. So that's just but that's me. Everybody has their own preferences. And with this guy, you can see the artwork on the rings. It takes up two-thirds of the cigar, so you may want to take this off first.

SPEAKER_05 54:46

And that's that's why I asked. I saw that that large ring.

SPEAKER_06 54:49

Yeah, yeah. And like here's I got one of my uh favorite perdomos here, too. Also a rather large band on it, too. But it's all preference. People like to, you know, leave the rings on. And you know what? If if you're a cigar smoker, all of us have actually watched, and I don't want to use the term idiots, but they go and they like the cigar, it's got a foot ring or it's got a cedar sheath on it, and you sit there and you're like, where did this idiot come from?

SPEAKER_05 55:19

Nice ride! Now, now, also, do you prefer a punch or a slice on the uh on the cap?

SPEAKER_06 55:27

Okay, that's a great question. Now, that for me depends on the cigar. Uh, this, my father is a box press, which I left out. For this cigar, I would probably do a V-cut because of the box press. Um, more like this Perdomo, which is a round top, round cap, I would, you know, depending on the cigar. This one here, I would punch because of the cap. I'm I'm kind of nervous with Perdomo and their caps. I like to punch my Perdomo. Uh my um Esteban Canadis, I V-cut or straight cut. It all depends on the cigar. And it's also your preference, too. If you're smoking a very harsh cigar and, you know, like a double Maduro or a triple Maduro, for me personally, I'd like to have a small ring because you take the wrong inhale, it's gonna knock you out for a little while. It depends on you know where you're going. Uh, I've seen guys with with uh beautiful uh straight cuts on double and triple Maduras, and I ask them how the hell they're living. I really don't. But it's crazy. But it all depends. You know, it's your preference. And you know, my recommendation is you know, try the cigar. If you don't feel that uh you're getting what you want out of it, change it up. Go go to a go to a V, go to a punch, go to a street, uh, do a double V depending on the cigar. Uh you got a question though in front of your Maduro Gordo. No, this is a uh what is this one? This is a double Toro, I believe. It's uh box press double toro. Uh crazy, man. Good stuff. That uh Maduro Gordo, uh, yeah, we're talking uh a Ben Hawker of a cigar. Um I I tend to stick with Robustos, Coronas, um Tauros, because that's where the uh the blenders go with. Uh when the blenders design a cigar, they usually stick with the Robusto in the medium section of the sizing, because that's when you're gonna get the church blends. When you get a longer, fatter cigar, they're just adding a more uh filler to it. Not that it's changing uh the complexity a lot, but the blenders, when they work, they work with this the medium-sized uh vitolas, the robustos, the coronas. They that's where they stick with when they're when they're blending. So for me and and and my mind thought is if the blender's working on that size, that's what I want to smoke.

SPEAKER_08 57:57

Well, I think what I got out of this, what I understand out of what Rod's saying, I only thing I really understood was the double bourbon, the double gentleman's reaction. I got that down, but otherwise, I wish I smoked this shit, man. You know, I don't, it makes it sound like it was freaking awesome.

SPEAKER_05 58:17

You know, smoking a cigar is a time commitment. You sit down, you do it when you're doing nothing else, you're relaxing, and you're not the kind of guy to sit down and do that, Johnny.

SPEAKER_06 58:30

You know what? It's a beauty, it's life's little pleasures. Uh, I've been smoking forever. I love my cigars. Um, you know, at some point, you never know. Johnny might just find a find a point in life where he's gonna settle down for maybe two or three hours a day, and maybe he will smoke a cigar and enjoy. But like I said, you know, they're there are different sizes. So if Johnny does want to try to, you know, have a good cigar, we can we can get him a you know a a little uh little corona, maybe four inch, and he's got a half-hour smoke.

SPEAKER_02 59:04

You know, you say corona, Johnny's looking for a beer. Yeah, I know, I know.

SPEAKER_06 59:11

But you know, it's you know what? If you smoke, enjoy, take, you know, everyone's got their own little pleasures in life. This one's one of mine, you know.

SPEAKER_08 59:20

Well, that's awesome. Great job again. Rod is amazing at doing his cigar porn, and uh, he does a great job, man.

SPEAKER_02 59:28

I gotta I gotta say, uh the amount of detail is impressive. I will say that.

SPEAKER_05 59:32

Yeah, how can we get our hands on those cigars? They they sound they sound wonderful.

SPEAKER_06 59:36

They are all over the place. Uh just from where I know exactly where they're at. Uh Goodfellow Cigar in Medford on Route 112 has them. Uh Village Cigar Hero on Waverly in Patchon has them. Uh they're all they're around, you know. They it's the newest blend from the My Father's line. So they're gonna be out there. Uh grab a few when you go, because apparently, from what I've been told, they're selling out rather quickly. Uh online, uh Cigar International has them, uh, famous has them. They're they're around. They're around, but the Brazilian nut. Pick a nice pick, you know, because I guarantee if you're a smoker, you're gonna enjoy this, you're gonna turn around in a few days and have another one. And then you'll be like me, like, oh, that was the last one. Now I gotta get more. But Rod, you're lucky not necessarily. Everybody be like, give me a cigar, Rod. Give me a cigar. Well, this this is one of those cigars that, you know, as soon as I got the extra cash, I'm I'm probably gonna order a box or two and have a nice stock of them in the house. Um, add them to my humidor that right now has about 1,200 cigars in it.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:45

Awesome, man. Well, that's Rod Cigar porn, guys. I hope you guys liked it. Right? Awesome job.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:53

I enjoyed that a lot.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:54

Well, I'll tell you, but let me just let me just bring something up real quick because I I'll be remiss if I don't. Uh, for the you women out there who are smokers or not or interested in trying cigars, I just want to throw a hat out to Nova Cigars. This is a friend of mine, Leo's uh company. Cha Ching, Cha Ching. I'm sorry. I love to get her on as a sponsor. She's phenomenal. Uh, I forget where she's from, but she's from Latin America. She is a Spitfire.

First of all, I love Valerie's boots. I love those boots.

unknown 1:06:28

SPEAKER_08 1:06:37

Yeah, I think I got one too.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:38

Oh my god. Yeah, like I said, from 80, from 86 to 90, nothing was off limits.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:43

I wore Spandex back in the day when I was in the band. Yes, I did. Thank you for this visual, guys. I'm done. I'm out. Bye. I don't need that.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:52

SPEAKER_08 1:06:56

Yeah, right? You know? Remember the parachute pants? Oh my god. Genie pants.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:01

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:03

Oh my god. Night, Daniel. I was on uh I was on the island a few uh weeks back. We had an 80s night over in Patchog in front of my Kelly through this 80s night hour party. Let me tell you, there was a lot of fun, a lot of laugh. But you know, there's a certain time to get rid of those 80s mouth clips of those leg warmers because I needed a little bit more alcohol.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:31

Oh my god, exactly, man.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:33

Well, the leg women weren't cool the first time around. They're definitely not gonna be cool to return. That's true. So what else you got, Pat?

No, but I appreciate it. Thank you, Dan. I know. I'm worried about everybody else. The last person I was worried about was May.

SPEAKER_08 1:08:19

But the funny part about it, I read the article, it's like the bike we found in the back of the bar. It was great. It's like all these bikes that we found, there's one bike parked in the back, we couldn't figure out why. Then when it says on the bottom, because we saw this cow talking. Anyway, it was all good. All good. Congratulations.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:34

SPEAKER_05 1:14:58

Uh yeah, so uh New York Life, it's a 180-year-old company. Uh it's really comprehensive uh financial planning services. Uh of course we do life insurance. We're we're the best in the industry on it, but we also make it so that anyone can retire, anyone can uh really realize their dreams, and uh pretty much everyone walking around could use our services. And uh, you know, I look for the opportunity really to help people, and and and that's kind of why I'm in the business. So uh I would love to

Financial Planning After A Crash

SPEAKER_05 1:15:29

talk to anyone out there and and and see if there's any way that I could help them.

SPEAKER_08 1:15:33

Well, it's true, because if you get a lawyer, especially like uh Richard Jaffe, the ridingcouncil.com, which you know why you're looking for a lawyer, you have a motorcycle accident, and you need somebody that's gonna understand you. Richard Jaffe's the guy. Ridingcouncil.com. Go check him out. And when he wins you the money that you're gonna get, you gotta go over to Johnson. Because if it was me, I'd I'd have a house in Italy, I'd have uh you know a condo here, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05 1:15:57

It's it's true. Uh I've heard uh so many horror stories where people they they get the settlement and then people come out of the woodwork. Oh, I can uh invest it for you, I can uh do this for you, I can do that for you, and then the money disappears. Yeah. So uh one of the things that we do routinely is take a settlement like that and create a lifetime income from it.

SPEAKER_08 1:16:16

There you go. So, yeah, so that's that's awesome stuff, man. New York Life. How do you get that? That's it.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:21

New YorkLife.com or well, New YorkLife.com is is the website. Uh you can reach out to me. Uh my phone number is 516-551-6629. Happy to talk to anyone about uh you know about their situation. Uh and listen, the best thing on the planet would be for me to sit down with someone and say, Hey, you're all set. You're you've got everything in in place and you don't need me. That almost never happens, but uh but but it is that would be a beautiful thing.

SPEAKER_08 1:16:48

Yeah, because you know, you never know, especially running a motorcycle. You throw your leg over that seat, you're not guaranteed anything, man.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:54

You you never know. It's you know, we're targets out there. Uh it's every time that uh that I'm out there, I can do everything right, but there's still something wrong that can happen. Exactly.

SPEAKER_08 1:17:05

Exactly. So you know you need somebody like you. You need somebody like Rich, because Rich, you know, if I have a motorcycle accident by, God willing, I don't. Um you want somebody like Rich because he rides. Yep. He's everywhere, he's up in Laconia, he does everything, he knows what you're going through. He knows He gets it.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:23

Yeah, he gets it. He gets it.

SPEAKER_08 1:17:24

You're not gonna get a lawyer that is does personal injury for a fall, a car accident, who understands the motorcycle, and that's what you need. You need him to fight for you, to tell you the rights that you may not know. Right?

SPEAKER_05 1:17:39

Right, and there are legal nuances uh where in terms of what the negligence is, and someone who understands motorcycles can get you the best representation uh possible because someone who doesn't understand motorcycles, they might miss something and you might miss out.

SPEAKER_08 1:17:55

You know, you can come to um a situation where, like in a divorce, let's just say a divorce attorney, right? You're gonna go to court, you're divorced, and there are there are uh things out there that you don't know. And if you don't know it, that's just your own problem. They're not gonna tell you.

SPEAKER_20 1:18:10

No. Right.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:10

So now let's just say you have a motorcycle accent and there's two motorcycles involved. You've got a guy on the left, a guy on the right. They hit each other, blah, blah, blah. He gets his lawyer, you get your lawyer. So his lawyer might know all the ins and outs, right? Everything you should know, all the rules and whatever things that you may not know, Rich will know.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:29

And there's also nuance about negotiations involved where you can get two guys that everything is pretty much equal, but one guy is a better negotiator. Right. Uh, and and uh Rich is a good negotiator.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:41

There you go. So check out the ridingcouncil.com, everybody. If you have a motorcycle action, by God hope you don't. And uh, or any kind of thing. You fall or car action, anything that you may need, a personal interview lawyer, Richard Jaffey's the guy you want to go to, the riding council.com, he'll understand you. And then you take whatever money he is going to win for you, and you go see my man and Jonathan over here. And Jonathan's gonna make you invest it the right way. Like not blowing it like I probably do. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 1:19:10

Open up a chain of white castles.

SPEAKER_08 1:19:11

Open up a chain of white castles. Right? So Rod, you got anything else you want to end it with Rod? Oh, we lost Rod. Hold on, did I meet him? Yeah, I did. Sorry, Rod.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:26

I just wanted to judge with your deal with the plan. Um, whatever. You can't do it. You're full of your family. You're gonna fall with it. You know, we're gonna share off the whatever we're gonna do for fighting for whatever money. You know, and I'm coming from my fish for my fish. I can actually do this guy when you get people coming in with these settlements. Because remember, a lot of people don't. We were talking about all that time. A lot of people don't plan for the future, and you know, they don't have a retirement program in these kids today. They don't have you know, that's just my teacher.
