Yeah, you know the top of the bracket is where all the action is I think everybody knows that these guys on the bottom of the bracket

03:22

I got to tell you you guys have had a very very easy run But Keith and I we're the ones who've run through the gauntlet

03:27

So I consider the semi -final actually the final so I don't know what happens after this but once once I take out a

03:33

Keith I'm already going to preemptively consider myself a champion because the bottom of the bracket is just like Who are these guys

03:40

Keith? Have you ever even heard of some of these guys on the bottom of the bracket? Yeah, well, I know you

03:50

Matthew I love you. I'm thank you. You're my brother you two brother for the next 24 hours.

04:06

So that sounds good, man. See you. Have a great day, buddy Have a great day See you Keith yeah, so just a little backstory to I kind of knew of Matthew but didn't include him in the reformed podcast bracket and I had so many people tag me and they went what about ever hard What about ever hard?

04:26

What about it? Right and I went jeez this guy This guy's got some people that really want him in this bracket. It was my oversight

04:32

So he's definitely gonna be in the reformed bracket podcast bracket next year But we threw him in the cigar cigar bracket and Matthew I got to tell you

04:38

I looked at your kind of run to even get to the final four and I was like Well, it was nice knowing you. I mean,

04:44

I mean I you have a huge following on YouTube hundreds of thousands of followers and likes

04:49

And videos and we get that I go. I don't know how that's gonna translate to a Twitter poll But let me tell you something man

04:55

The guys have really come out for you and the memes and the pictures that you're posting are funny to the

05:01

Presbyterians Uniting and things like that. I don't know man. Thanks for being involved in the bracket

05:06

I love when people like to kind of take hold of this and in run with it and Kind of get the idea of what we're trying to do here.

05:13

Yeah. Thank you so much. I really appreciate that opportunity I was just happy to make it through the first round like my thought was honestly going into this if I make it through one

05:22

Round I'm gonna be happy I'm gonna consider it a victory and yeah, the the Presby brothers have just kind of carried me along the way

05:28

So I'm very thankful for that. And yeah final four man. I'm pumped. I'm stoked Keith and I've been cheering for each other all along the way and now we get to go at it

05:36

So this is gonna be really great Yeah, so unlike are you are you in the same boat as Keith to where you've maybe only lit up one cigar?

05:44

Do you actually smoke cigars? No. No, I'm a little bit more of an aficionado than Keith is

05:50

I still think that his one is suspicious. I'm not sure he technically qualifies for this entire bracket here

05:56

But but I'm more I'm more legit on that mode for sure Yeah, so look at CR Wiley and Joe Rigney we're gonna jump on to see ours in the middle of a construction

06:06

Project, you know, he's got like 80 doors or something in real estate So he's always busy doing that Joe was in the middle of a counseling session.

06:13

So I said do you want to what let's Let's hold off on those. You don't have to jump on here, but I wanted to have chance on to chance 1689 cigars

06:20

We appreciate you doing this all sticks mark down to 10 bucks right now on the website for the bracket Tell us a little bit about 1689 cigars and why you want to do this

06:29

Well, I mean it was kind of birthed out of a gentleman named Al Gomez started reform cigars and he needed somebody to do his tech side on The state side to sell us cigars and then my my wife didn't like that.

06:43

I was spending So much time playing video games. So she said get a manly hobby. She handed me a cigar and the rest is history

06:51

So she kind of got me into the cigar world and my first cigar was like a sober Mesa Brulee blue from her.

06:59

I probably still my favorite cigar just because it has some of that background and history to it and Then I'd noticed that the hobby is expensive.

07:07

So I was like, okay Well, I want to get into this and then I started going down the rabbit hole for the last two years

07:12

Just working on blends meeting the factories direct and then there's a lot of smoking, you know

07:19

Daggers in this industry and there's there's a lot of liars and so you kind of got to go through that lose some money and Then then you figure it out and then you have a wonderful cigar line and it's kind of how

07:30

I got here Hey, look at appreciate you doing this and I think it's good to support other brothers in the

07:36

Lord and the kingdom that are building things Matthew really quick You know

07:42

Jeez, man, I it's crazy because like I said before the reason I do this too is kind of to like To shine light on maybe people who follow me or listen to me and maybe might not know other people

07:55

Obviously you have a much more larger following on YouTube and stuff like that than I do but I'm so glad you made it to the final four because I think

08:02

I posted on one of your Videos a month or so ago. You're you're quickly becoming one of my favorite

08:08

Presbyterians Which is tough to say cuz I hang out with some pretty great Presbyterians, right? And I said it kind of tongue -in -cheek when

08:14

I say Presbyterian, but we do share that I just wanted to you know, not that you need it

08:19

But maybe tell people a little bit about YouTube channel what your ministry is some of the places and they can find resources that you've written or done

08:26

Just so people watching the live stream and that are voting can go. Yeah, Matthew's now my guy Well, thanks for the opportunity

08:33

You know the whole reason that I have a YouTube channel in general is just to Proclaim the gospel of Christ and make sure that as much as I'm able to do

08:40

I'm always talking about Christ and his his greatness his glory his kingdom Beside from that.

08:47

I like to shout out my church gospel fellowship PCA Having a YouTube channel is a great way to Identify people with your church if there are people in the area north of Pittsburgh Love to have you come check us out in real life gospel fellowship

08:59

09:07

Also our PTS the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh where I'm an adjunct professor

09:13

Love to shout out those guys to do an awesome work if you're thinking about going to seminary RPTS is the place to be

09:21

Awesome. All right. Let's finish this up guys. I don't want to make it too long We're gonna get to voting for today will be our final four which will be

09:27

Keith Foskey versus Matthew Everhard Who's here with us on the live stream? CRY Lee verse Joe Rigney on the second one.

09:34

So we only have two brackets to vote on for 24 hours I'm sure it's gonna get fun and routing and maybe contentious, but that's fine.

09:40

It's all good fun Predictions both chance and Matthew now Matthew. I know you've predicted you're gonna thoroughly handle

09:47

Keith Foskey And he's not here to defend himself. So we are going to pile on Okay, I do I've had people say will you tweet this out and retweet and look at as the admin?

09:55

I do have to stay impartial. Obviously, I have my own personal buys So I stay out of it when retweeting things, but I do like all of them because I like to see it

10:03

So we'll start with you Matthew. You think we're you're gonna take care of Keith, but in the CR Wiley Joe Rigney Are you familiar with either of those gentlemen, or do you think who do you make it to the final?

10:14

I'm I'm really not unfortunately I wish I did know those guys a little bit better, but I can't really give a give a recommendation there

10:21

But I will say this when it comes to me and Keith, you know You have two choices. You got a real Presbyterian and you have one who plays one on TV.

10:27

So You know if you want to go with the guy that has the superior theology or the guy that has to put on a you

10:34

Know a vest and pretend that he does then I think the choice is pretty clear Okay, so you go for the actual pastor adjunct professor in Presbyterianism, okay

10:43

You got a chance. What do you think? Are you familiar with CR Wiley obviously from theology podcast pastor?

10:52

Joe Rigney out there in Moscow author pastor What do you think about that bracket?

10:57

First of all, I'll start I'm I'm really familiar with CR Wiley actually met him at a dinner a couple months ago and Been texting back and forth as this is going on and so I I kind of I think

11:11

CR is gonna take that bracket especially because he's 61 and he's still building houses, so I mean, yes the strength to overcome that and then

11:21

Honestly, I'm sorry Matt. It would probably be Keith for me just because he's the only bathrooms left

11:27

I hope he takes the whole whole bracket and You know, that's that's kind of my my my my choices there.

11:35

No problem. You know, I totally understand that In fact Keith is such a nice guy. I might I might legitimately vote for him myself and let the rest of them

11:45

I might do it. I might do it just because I said I'm gonna do it I'm gonna vote for Keith just because he's a really nice guy.

11:52

I'll give him this for his first vote I'll spot him one vote and we'll see what what happens. You got a screen record it and post on Twitter.

11:58

We'll do I'll do it. So yeah chance you bring up a good point. We're in a 1689 cigar smoking bracket

12:06

We've got one Baptist three Presbyterians left So the chances aren't that great that we have a 1689

12:13

London, you know Baptist Confession guy winning But Keith is a powerhouse Matthew is too though.

12:18

Like I said before you jumped on Matthew I don't know if you've even tapped into anyone on your on the YouTube side so it's pretty crazy that you're in the final four and Just by kind of working it off Twitter and other

12:30

Presbyterians which I found hilarious like Presbyterians unite, but I do like that But look at it's all good fun. Yes, we have secondary doctrinal ish, you know disagreements tertiary issues

12:39

But at this end of the day we bring glory to God in doing this. I appreciate you Matthew for taking part in it chance

12:45

I appreciate you for for having this idea and sponsoring it and giving someone a good prize package to Guys, make sure you go check out 1689 cigar if you need some sticks some accessories things like that Let's support another
