Tony and Fingers keep the Thanksgiving weekend chill rolling with another round of the Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Sophisticated Hooker, then turn to meat, money, and modern misery.

First up: meat. They shout out Defiance Beef, talking quarter, half, and whole cow orders, 21-day aging, ribeyes, strips, brisket, and why freezer beef might be the smartest “Black Friday” buy you can make.

Then Tony unveils his own barrel pick:


Old Hamer 11-Year Single Barrel (selected by Tony Katz)


99% corn, 1% malted barley, a monster at 127.6 proof


Big butterscotch, cocoa, oak, cinnamon heat, sting on the tongue but a surprisingly gentle chest warmth

Fingers nearly tears up after a sip and warns that this pairing—Rare Pink plus 127-proof bourbon—is not for the faint of heart.

From there, they dig into the real world:


Foreclosures up 20%, car repos climbing, and zero-percent car deals that scream “trouble.”


Why some people are still spending like crazy while falling behind on mortgages and auto loans.


Streaming overload: multiple services, skyrocketing sports rights, and how NFL Sunday Ticket and exclusive games are punishing traditional cable viewers.


The slow fade of channels like MTV and Cartoon Network, and what that means for old-school cable.

Big cigar, bigger bourbon, and a sober look at an economy that doesn’t quite add up.

All that, and more, on an all-new Eat Drink Smoke!
