Episode 241 Culture Vulture Feasts on Bad Decisions!

Jerry (0:05)

Welcome to Down to Herf, the podcast for cigar smokers, whiskey drinkers, and for the people just looking to kick back, light up, and have a good time. I'm your host Jerry, and I'm joined by, as always, my co-host, Gio and Caleb. Fellas, fellas, fellas, it's Tuesday night.

It is a Tuesday. That's about all I have to say about it.

Caleb (0:31)

Crunch it it, crunch time.

Gio (0:33)

Got the pod going up on a Tuesday?

Jerry (0:36)

Apparently.

Apparently we do. Gio, what's up?

Gio (0:42)

I felt like this weekend flew by, and like, wasn't really a weekend of like days off.

Jerry (0:50)

I feel like I can kind of second that. I didn't really do much. I feel like I just watched the football game on Sunday, and we had our fantasy hockey draft last night, and that was kind of like my entire weekend. And then today we had to record. So that was, that was the weekend.

Caleb (1:06)

Well, how about not even the weekend or whatever, just the whole month of September? It's already done and gone with like, and that flew by.

Jerry (1:14)

Oh, it went literally so fast. But it is officially fall.

Caleb (1:18)

Yeah, officially.

Jerry (1:19)

Officially.

Caleb (1:20)

And we're heading into October. We got Halloween and spooky things coming up next. So I don't know, the year is flying by. Getting to that last quarter, and it's just flying.

Gio (1:29)

Caleb, for every October episode minus this one, is going to wear some kind of costume.

Jerry (1:36)

I think you should, Gio. I feel like some of the outfits you wear here could classify as costumes.

Gio (1:41)

Sweats and a t-shirt?

Jerry (1:42)

Well, today. Today is probably the most reasonable you've looked on the show in quite some time. It's like the camo tree suits. It looks like he just got out of the woods some days.

Caleb (1:52)

Could be a hunter for Halloween. That could work.

Jerry (1:54)

I don't think Gio has the patience nor athletic ability to be a hunter.

Gio (2:00)

I don't like sitting outside that long.

Jerry (2:04)

Can you imagine him sitting on his cell phone in the woods?

Caleb (2:06)

If we had to give him a text or something, he forgot to put it on vibrate. He'd scare off all the deer.

Jerry (2:12)

He couldn't stay quiet and still for long enough to hunt.

Caleb (2:15)

That's something I wish I had gotten into. I had a neighbor next door to me growing up, and every year he was always like, come on, come to hunting camp. We'll do the bow lessons. We'll do the lessons. I never did it. My one brother did. Looking back, I wish I went back and took some of those lessons.

Just something fun to do.

Gio (2:34)

I feel like bow hunting would be at least fun to try, but I'd have to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow, which I'm sure requires a decent amount of skill.

Jerry (2:45)

You can count me out. That doesn't even look fun. I know, well, I used to know he passed away. I had an uncle who was very good at shooting a bow. And like this dude was insane. Like I don't even understand how you could be that good with a bow and arrow. But of course, they don't use like real bow and arrows. They're like these fancy compact bows now. The compound bow. Yeah, the compound bows, like they're just like, they're not even fair. They might as well be guns. And I'm sure somebody's listening like, no, there's a huge difference. Trust me, I know there's a huge difference. Guns go boom and you can't really hear an arrow. Yeah, that's pretty good.

But what are we smoking tonight?

What are we getting into tonight? There's a lot to get to.

Gio (3:28)

Well, we're really jumping around because as first things first, as always, the Down to Herf Podcast is brought to you by Crownheads, our title sponsor. A shout out to the man John Huber and of course, Miguel Shadel and all of the other wonderful staff at this great company. They have a ton of new releases this year. The Decimo 2026 will be hitting stores in a few months or within a couple. I wasn't sure.

I think last time we talked to John and Miguel, I wasn't quite ready yet, but they still have so much that just keeps coming and coming and coming.

Jerry (4:08)

I'm sure we'll get more details on it on the 7th.

Gio (4:11)

Yeah. I mean, yeah, we'll tease that our next.
