Speaker 1:Does that make you a snowbird now?
Speaker 2:No, not really, Because I just come down to visit and I go back up north. Unbelievable. Does that make you a snowbird now? No, not really, because I just come down to visit and I go back up north. I like it up north, yeah, so that's just the way it is. I do like it, but you need a little break once in a while to come down and see something green instead of white. That's what you need.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's been a tough little winter up there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been a tough little winter up there.
Speaker 1:I can tell Tough little winter, so tough you guys had to send some of your coal down. Here we get there. It's snowing in Florida.
Speaker 2:The fishermen are all ice fishing. They love it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've always wanted to go ice fishing.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, oh yeah, they love it. They're out there Fishing away the smaller lakes. Lake Erie is about frozen. All the way the bay is frozen.
Speaker 1:So you can walk to Canada now.
Speaker 2:No, you don't want to walk to Canada. You want to stay off that lake, stay off the ice domes and everything. Yeah, yeah, you want to go where it's flat and frozen Ice domes. Man, they're hollow. You fall through. You're 10 feet from the water. There's a splash. You ain't coming out.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So but here we are, down here having a little cigar, taking it easy.
Speaker 1:Exactly. I just want to say thank you, lugo, from Old Time Cigar of Claremont. You guys are absolutely fantastic, your selections are amazing and great service, and I just wanted to say thank you, lugo, for the awesome service once again. You know what you're doing, so I appreciate you, lugo, thank you oh yeah, that's a nice smoking cigar how do you get into smoking cigars, by the way? Pardon me how did you start smoking cigars?
Speaker 2:how did I?
Speaker 1:yeah, how did it happen?
Speaker 2:oh man, I don't know, I think it's someone down the down the road introduced me to one one night. I have a drink, smoking a cigar, and it just keeps on going. Yeah, don't get yourself a bad cigar, get yourself a good one. If you're going to smoke a cigar, get yourself a nice mild one to start. Mild, not a heavy, hard cigar. You want a nice mild one, smooth, and then you can just relax, have a drink with it. There you go, you know what I think.
Speaker 1:I'm not into smoking cigarettes or anything. I think that a cigarette is like a pause in your day and I feel like a cigar is a conversation, because if you're smoking a cigar, you're smoking a cigar to relax and have a long conversation with someone. That's what I think. Yeah, you might be right, because here we are I know, I know, yeah, yeah, I like be right, because here we are, I know.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like bourbon, though I like bourbon with my cigar.
Speaker 2:Hmm, well, we're just, we're back from a commercial break.
Speaker 1:Exactly, we're back from a commercial break.
Speaker 2:Everybody has to have a commercial break.
Speaker 1:This is true.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I haven't thought about doing commercials or anything, though.
Speaker 2:Well, we did a nice little one about the cigar place. You know, this is true, that is true. A nice little cigar, and every year I come down here, I stop there and get my cigar. That's good, that's true, that is true, yep.
Speaker 1:So how's Seller 54 doing?
Speaker 2:Seller 54 is doing great. It's doing real good, nice good, fantastic year. Every year we're growing a little by little. One of these years we'll make it down here in the shelves of these stores down here one of these years, but it just takes a long, long time to get developed and branch out everywhere.
Speaker 1:Are you in any grocery stores up north right now?
Speaker 2:Yes, wow. Yeah, we're in grocery stores, the state stores, you know Wine and Spirits. And yeah, we're at other places too, you know. So we are branching. It's just, you know our marketing department. You know it takes a long time to get a new product out there on the shelf, but they are working hard and doing it so and the winemakers making some good, fantastic wine, oh trust me wine.
Speaker 1:Oh, trust me, wine is something that I love. Wine now, I never used to like wine as much, but you guys have definitely made me a wine lover. Oh, yeah. And how's the golf course?
Speaker 2:What's the golf course? Called again um lakeside lakeside because it's right on the shores of Lake Erie on the New York and Pennsylvania border yep, yeah, it's all.
Speaker 2:We're hanging in there with everything right now. You know it's over. We're hanging in there with everything right now. You know winter does slow everything down, but then we are getting. We're over the hump a little bit. You know it's still cold down up there and uh, but we are. The days are getting longer. Uh, by I'm gonna say around the 20th of February we'll start getting the flux and the temperature. You know it'll start hitting 40s and staying there, maybe down there in the upper 20s at night. So you'll start seeing that March comes along. It's like a roller coaster. Yeah, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. You know up and down, up and down all the way. So we're getting through the rough ones, the first time we had a rough winter in probably a good three years. So you know it's over, but we are getting. You know we're coming around out of it now.
Speaker 1:So I can't wait to come up there. I think if I come up, if I go back to Erie, I'm not going to come back to Florida.
Speaker 2:Well, I'll tell you one thing it's not as busy.
Speaker 1:That's what I like.
Speaker 2:As it is down there.
Speaker 1:That's what I like. I mean you're going to become roommates. Yes, the boys will smoke a cigar every night. I mean you're going to become roommates, just the boys will smoke a cigar every night, play some card games and that's it.
Speaker 2:But yeah, yeah, pretty nice, nice up there. Yeah, Lower, it's not a fast pace, it's a slower pace.
Speaker 1:That's good for you. Everyone needs that, you know. We definitely need that Yep. So I'm going to ask you a question that I asked my brother. My question is how do you know when you're dating someone?
Speaker 2:Oh boy.
Speaker 1:How do you know?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I haven't dated somebody in I don't know how many years. It's been a long time. But I would go this way you see somebody, they look attractive to you, you ask them out, you ask them out again. You might start leaning to dating. At that point I'm saying a second, second date you're dating too quick?
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't. I don't think that's too quick, I think that it's different. All right, let me ask you this. So if I go to go to someone, I said, hey, let's go grab lunch, and we grab them, and we grab lunch twice, how is that day? Or do you have to say, hey, it's a date and that makes it dating?
Speaker 2:It all depends on. Let's say, you're working with this person and you say, all right, let's go get lunch. It could be just a working relationship.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You're not leaning toward a date, but a working relationship, I think, is totally different. You want to communicate with a male and a female when you're working. That makes a good environment to work in, but I don't know if you want to date somebody that you're working side-by-side in.
Speaker 1:I definitely wouldn't do it. They say you shouldn't crap where you eat, so yeah it's.
Speaker 2:You know, everybody likes, everybody likes to be. You need a break once in a while. That little break is not a break from your date, but it's. You can't concentrate on your date when you're working, working's different, working's for work. Yeah, I agree For a relationship at that. Uh, in that point, but you have, you gotta have a, a working relationship.
Speaker 1:I agree, I think that a lot of people don't know when they're dating and that when they're dating, dating means different things to people. So you could go out for lunch a million times and it's not dating. And for some people you have to say, hey, this is a a date, so they know that it's a date that's when you get home, get all cleaned up, you go on a date yep, exactly like. Oh, it's a date. All right, it's a date. I'll pick you up at two o'clock so it's.
Speaker 2:And today gets harder because you know you take it down here. Okay, you gotta. You gotta get the bed at 930 or so, Get up at four and get ready. You gotta drive through all the traffic and everything and get to work Before you know it. You know you got you work an eight hour shift but you know actually you're working at 13 hour shift so you can't date during a work week. Yeah, so you got two days off, at the end maybe, or during the week, but it's tough. It does play a big toll on a dating relationship where it does. In a bigger city where you have driving time to get to that point of work it's become very difficult. But time to get to that point of where it's become very difficult. But I don't know.
Speaker 2:Dating another thing is a lot of people get their relationship way back in school, maybe a little bit in high school. They could date, go to college and they find somebody they can date there. They get out of school before you know it. That might lead to something else, but I think a lot of people do find their dating mate in some type of relationship with school or something like that. I don't think they find a lot of it at work. I don't think they find a lot of it at work. I think I don't want to involve dating at work. I want to separate that. But that's just the way I look at it. Yeah, so what do you think about it? Like what? Where would you know? How did you meet your wife here? We go see. I put it shifted over to his side.
Speaker 1:Um, I actually met her randomly when she was at work, but but I wasn't working.
Speaker 2:There we go.
Speaker 1:See that I saw her and I said to her I said you have beautiful eyes. And she said these are contacts, because when I saw her, those were the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen in my entire life. And so when she said these are contacts, I said well, you have beautiful contacts. And I said you know what? We should get coffee sometime. And she said I don't drink coffee. And I said to her I said the great British empire shines always, so we can drink tea. And then she laughed and we had tea the next day.
Speaker 2:Well, there you go. So when would you say it was you were dating?
Speaker 1:I think we were getting to know each other, like just to meet each other the first time. But when it was time to go on a date, in my head I was like, hey, do you want to go on a date? And he said yes. When we went to for tea, that was just me saying we should just have tea. And then after that I was like, hey, you know, we should go on a date sometime. And we went on a date. There you go. You know what's really funny? When it was time for me to go on the date with her, I had a flat tire, I actually had two flat tires and my neighbor was like man, you look good, where are you going? I said I'm going on a date, I have two flat tires. And he was like well, here's my keys to my car. And my neighbor gave me the keys to his car to go on my date.
Speaker 2:Oh, that was nice of him. Yeah, geez, very good, yep. And you see, now that's a different angle, you know, than how I did, how I met my wife. I met my wife, matter of fact, we went, you know, we went to school with pretty good size and I really never noticed her until one time at a basketball game, mm-hmm yeah. And I met her and we started talking, and then I started talking a little bit more and more in school with her.
Speaker 2:And it led to. Well, we got married and kids, and that's what it all led to.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But that was in school. Like I was saying, it was in school. You started a relationship and it worked from there, but it was just something. She was in the same grade and everything else in high school and it just escalated more and more from there and that's the relationship that grew there. So we had two different ways. So I don't know, I think it took me after I met her in the basketball game. It took me probably a couple weeks. After that we went on a date. You know, back then we'd go to a movie or something like that. You know I go to a movie, okay, and you know, and so we just hung out like that, you know, and then it was a date I was, I didn't go to me, you know, in school. You know I had a, I had. You know I was a wrestler and and so you know, in football, and so it wasn't too much, you know, dating during those sports you know, afterwards yeah, you know, in the summertime, go on a date, this and that it just grew from there.
Speaker 1:Yep, wrestling was one of the reasons why I didn't date too.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yep, I tell them like hey, I'm busy, it's wrestling season.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:I tell them as a guy, I tell them I don't want to gain any weight.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, that's true, you gotta watch your weight and everything like that Gotta watch that. Wrestling is great, for I think wrestling is a great sport Getting off the dating. But wrestling is a great sport because it gives you self-confidence in yourself. It's just you and your opponent on the other side and you're going to do a little battling, mm-hmm, and it's self-discipline and it teaches you that. It teaches you self-discipline where it gives you that little bit edge over a lot of people, where you can apply yourself. Yes, you don't need a crowd behind you, I can apply myself to whatever I'm doing, and so that's and it develops a lot of young kids out there.
Speaker 1:Whenever I'm having a hard day at work, I'm always okay. I just I tell myself challenge accepted Whenever the day is hard, challenge accepted. Whenever someone doubts me, challenge accepted. Whenever the day is hard, challenge accepted. Whenever someone doubts me, challenge accepted. I think that's something that wrestling gave me, that it makes it okay for things to be tough. I'm okay with things being tough. I wouldn't trade that for anything. I wouldn't trade running up the stairs a million times. I wouldn't trade running in the hot Florida sun. I wouldn't trade that for anything. I wouldn't trade running up the stairs a million times. I wouldn't trade running in the hot Florida sun. I wouldn't trade wrestling in that hot wrestling room, sweaty, I wouldn't trade that for anything. I wouldn't.
Speaker 2:Yep If it's you. That's what he taught me, it's you how much you put in.
Speaker 1:It's you, that's what he taught me.
Speaker 2:It's you how much you put in it's you, now let's carry that experience you had into. Okay, now you got a relationship going. Now you get married, you have a family. There's where the guy has the guy has to say, hey, this is my family, I have to give all I got toward that family and that's how it has to be. There's no, oh, it's getting too tough, I want to run away. It's that's what it's all about. That's what life is about is raising of good, good, healthy, spiritual family.
Speaker 1:I agree, because your kids see it all in.
Speaker 2:And there's where the guy has to step up and say this is the way it is, not the way it was when you were a kid running wild. This is the way it is. You're going to have your ups and downs in a relationship, but it's how you get around it and I think wrestling teaches that. You're going to have ups and downs in a split second. A split second you relax and boom, that guy's components are going to point against you the downs in a split second. A split second. You're relaxing, boom, that guy's scoring points against you. The same. In a marriage, sometimes you have those up and downs, so you have to work around it and never run from it. You work around it, your emotions and stuff, and you work it out and you keep going and that's how a relationship and the dating and all that stuff comes together. See that, the circle of life.
Speaker 1:The circle of life Wrestling, dating, working hard. Yes, the circle of life.
Speaker 2:There it is. And then when you say it's all done and the kids are growing good and the wife's having a great time, you're having a great time. You can sit down, have a beer or a glass of wine or whatever and have a nice little cigar and say guess what we did?
Speaker 1:it yes.
Speaker 2:We did it. Look at this, look what we have. We did it. And at this, look what we have we did it. And that's what life is. That's exactly what it is. We did it Right there, when you can say we did it yeah.
