It’s our 3rd anniversary and we are at the Masters Event in Plaistow with Erik Wentworth of Hammer & Sickle Cigars. Back at home-base and recording on a Saturday afternoon, we had quite a turn out. I don’t know how we manage to have a dozen people on, but somehow it works. We do our usual anniversary Hidden Herf Pot Luck with the extra cigars from the past year.

The Gringo is heading south to Florida so we have a ton of laughs on his last in-person show for a while. Why Baby Shark and who is Ludwig?

We also received an email from Guam. Due to the timing of this week’s recording the Guam email will be addressed next week – stay tuned.
