Yeah, funny man. Jeff, what do you got? Funny guy or Mr. Creepy? Mr. Creepy. Mr. Creepy Peepy. Mr. Creepy Nasty Man. So you can probably hear I've got a little bit of a

a frog? a frog in the throat I was out at a Mike Mitchell surprise party last night oh it's not a surprise anymore he still hasn't gone yet he's late

it's still a surprise so you're frogged up? we are a little frogged up it had a little bit to do with the um the uh the drinks of choice last night a lot of them served in a small glass let's say shot back did you do a lineup the famed mike mitchell lineup no no no lineup or anything like that it was just weren't we supposed to talk about that? We talked about that on Doughboys.

We were supposed to have him on here and do a lineup, no? We still got time. This is a podcast. Folks, this podcast is going nowhere. I mean, it's not going anywhere. This is a dead-end road. No, no, we're going to be here for a long, long while. He also loves the Mai Tai famously.

Yes. Mitch loves a Mai Tai, but he's not known for it. Well, his move is ordering a Mai Tai at a normal bar. He's like, sorry, do you have a Mai Tai? And I'll be like, yeah, kind of. We'll put some orange juice and some rum. And I'm like, yeah, could you do that? Hey, you know what kind of day I'm having?

Uh-oh. A bird shit on me. Oh, bird turd. rum and i'm like yeah could you do that um hey you know what kind of day i'm having oh a bird shit on me oh bird turd now jeff that's good luck they say is it that's what they say have you had any well if you like having shit if you're a fecal freak it's great luck yeah i was getting my iced coffee walking around couldn't be happier and i felt a wet plop on my shoulder oh look up and then i see there's a power line with 12 birds on it and i still don't know which one's the guilty party angry birds oh yeah maybe they saw some of that work you did with angry birds and like we're being misrepresented get him fuck you you little asshole well have we talked about your angry birds commercial that you directed on this pod so that people know when they see it that it was directed by Duddy Buddy?

We didn't, but folks, it's a hit. We should be saying that so you know that you were watching the commercial, you see a commercial, you say, that was my little Duddy Buddy. Yes. It's for angry birds journey it stars christine quinn and melissa gorga from gorga selling sunset and real housewives new jersey respectively yes i love that and also an animated bird and they're big stars jeff uh when you when you told me about them i was or you told me they're like reality people i was like oh yeah and then you know you told me who you worked with and i i'd recognize one of, I think from the Housewives of New Jersey show. And I was like,

oh my God, these, these ladies are like super popular. Right. When it was pitched to me, I didn't realize like the premise of it is that two people go to anger management run by the angry bird. And, um, they were like, we got this woman and this woman. And I was like, okay. You, I'm sure, at first said, okay, I know just the two people, Tim and Mike. Yeah, I know just who to get.

But I didn't realize that they are like the respective... You need high-profile glamour girls, Tim and Mike. But they're like the hotheads on their respective shows. Oh, they're all hotheads. So I said, that's very funny to me.

They're all hotheads on those shows. They're all... They all So I said, that's very funny to me. They're all hotheads on those shows. They're all, they all, everything's so dramatic. Sort of like here on the pod. Now, what was the on-set drama? Because there was a picture of you on TMZ or something, right? Like you between- Tim, I can't talk about that. That's NDA shit.

Okay, so we're having a little bit of a, huh? My earbuds weren't wrong folks we're having some uh uh technical issues over here you probably meant noticed i said that this was halloween stylies episode yeah right we said that because we it's a scary name name drink but i'm finding the scariest thing is that mercury is in retrograde right now so that our issues are are we having tech issues on the pod well it's it's surprising too because jeff's got all this good luck with it with the bird shit on his shoulder right so this is doing me nothing crazy well you know maybe this is like pretty good for what it could have been oh yeah yeah you know that that's what they said about that's what they said about gremlins, by the way,

is that gremlins are known for messing with machinery and electronics and stuff. What about ghoulies? They mess with toilets. The movie or just in general, gremlins? Gremlins from lore, not from the movie, but then also in the movie. So they're not a very Luddite-actic creature Okay Luddite-actic

Luddite-actic No, I wanted to say before we moved on From your Angry Birds commercial That this type of stuff should be included In Booze News Because it's news And we're boozers If you direct a commercial

Michael, you were on tour recently you you did stand up your opening for kevin nealon that's booze news i that's true uh it was announced if you're watching social media sabba i are a friend of the show contest winner of campbell's corrections neil campbell created a a comedy central show that's coming out next year i wrote on it. It's called Digman. Look out for that. This should be in Boo's News.

It's good. Imagine, he sold a show off the strength of the essay that he wrote to win the contest. That was his sample that the network saw? Yeah, and it was a... Did he read it on the podcast? I forget. I think he counted our abs, right?

Yes. No, he didn't read it. He didn't read it. He opted for instead of reading his essay, he wanted to count. Maybe somebody did some pushups too. If you want to hear all this, folks, it was our Mojito episode of the show. We first met Neil. But any news.

That's when the three of us met Neil. But any news regarding us, the three of us, is above the fold. Top of the show, Booze News. Yeah, that's right. Because we're the hosts of the show. Hey, speaking of which, you guys want to get into a little... Hit it! Booze News.

We have to say Booze News for the uninitiated. Right, Booze News. Booze News. Booze News. We have to say Booze News for the uninitiated. Right, Booze News. Booze News. What would you do if I gave you some news?

Would you be mad because you think it's not sloppy? Let me on beers and I'll prove you wrong. Beers. Because it's Booze News. Beep, boop, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. I get mad. Beers. is funny. Could it be about Joe Biden? It needs to be about booze. Could it be about

McCartney? Yeah, that new one that's a collab with Nike shoes. Wow! Yeah! I know I'm getting so sloppy right now. I'm looking for that new self-help pack.

All right, well, this one's kind of wack. I'm looking for that new self-help pack. All right, well, this one's kind of whack. Might be good with a leg. It's booze news, you Joe Cocker Spaniels. Are we sure that's the whole thing? Is there more? With a little booze from my friend sent to us by Trey Diamond. And if you have a boos news theme,

email it to thesloppyboyspodcasts at gmail.com. That was brilliant and funny. But yeah, slowly these boos news themes have become feature length. You're getting indulgent. Yeah, yeah. That was very well done. We don't need the full version of the song.

When you go to the bridge, it's like, oh, okay. There's a lot of, you know, when I go to our booze, I go to the sloppyboyspodcast.gmail.com to pick out the booze news teams. Brilliant work in there, but there's a lot of longies, I'll say that. And for the most part, it's like people, it's just that they're repeating things.

Like they'll do a full chorus twice or something. I'm like, yeah, yeah yeah we get we get the joke so your suggestion tim is as the curator of the booze news uh theme songs you kind of look for something that's punchy that gets in gets out gets the job done folks that might be something to maybe think about i'll say this if you're if your mp3 is over a minute you're maybe possibly not even getting listened to. Wow. Wow.

Well, that was a good one. I do appreciate the vocal dynamics. Yeah, he's got pipes. We used to do that song when we were the cover band Sloppy Boys. Yeah. We got to bring that song back.

That's fun. I want to say we even played it on tour once we had some original music. That's a very good song. And hey, Trey Diamond, I love this. I don't mean to shit on this Booze News theme. This was one of the funnier ones we've had.

Yeah, it was great. This is great. Okay. Today's top story comes to us from the Sloppy Boys Discord, which you can have access to if you subscribe to our Patreon. I haven't been on the Discord in months. I've got to get over there. Mike, you've got to get on there, man.

They're shit-talking you on there. They're ganging up against you. Defend yourself. That's why I stopped going on. Well, Discord user Zappa Frank, who's always on there chopping it up. Big fish guy. He sent this article. Guys, have you ever heard of the Brazilian art of drinking a beer in the ass?

A butt chug? No. Is it Brazilian? I've heard of butt chugging. It's cerveja na bundinha, which translates to in the ass. It's not actually putting. It's not butt chugging. It's not putting a beer in your ass, but it's drinking a beer upside down.

Here, I'm going to text you this link so you can get a visual for it. Texted. Basically, just to be funny, this is kind of like a family gathering thing to do in Brazil where you drink a beer, like a can of beer. Instead of popping the top, you turn it upside down and puncture a hole in it with a knife or a screwdriver almost like the way you would pop a hole in a uh like shotgunning shotgunning a beer yeah um and it was just that you i thought you the drinker goes upside down i see what's going on that's how i tend to drink my calvi cordials but this is you put a couple of holes in the bottom of the can and then you put a hole to drink out of in the bottom like rim off to the side and people were just doing

this just to be funny but then to make it into a thing they started putting some coarse salt on on top of the can there this is an article in the takeout the brazilian art of drinking a beer in the ass and um you put a bunch of coarse salt on top of the can and then you squeeze lime so it's almost like you made a chalada with salt and lime but it's kind of just sitting on top and it's mixing as you're drinking yeah yeah what how because that's so weird it is it is kind of weird your whole mouth on the... And how do you not dump it all on your nose and in your mouth? I feel like you probably do, because this is...

This caught on as a TikTok trend and a YouTube trend, but I think it's kind of jokey, and it's sort of just... You're doing it for the thrill of having people see you, that your can is upside down, and they say, your can's upside down. And say your can's upside down. I'm thrilled. I know I'm kind of a funny guy actually. And I'm a little bit of a nasty boy.

Is it meant to be chugged? Is it? No. Because then it doesn't matter. You can make a mess. You just do it in one. You're just sipping. It's just a slow sipper. But then as you're making room in the can the lime and salt is dripping down into the can more. All right.

Wild stuff out of Brazil. It's coming out of Brazil. And we also saw across South America, they still have that trend going with the Moe's Taverns, Taverna de Moe. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going on down there. A lot of interesting ideas going on with our neighbors to the south.

More popular, the drinking upside down or the Brazilian butt lift? Oh, it's got to be the BBL. BBL. Speaking of puncturing holes into cans, were you ever big shotgunners? I don't think I've ever shotgunned a beer. I feel like Mitch used to do it a lot feel like mitch used to do it a lot right like just him at the end of the night it would just be him shotgunning one i was an experienced

funneler i've maybe only shotgunned once a funnel i don't think i've done a funnel either i did a funnel when you do it right when it really launches into you i think just chugging out like when will ferrell does a funnel and it touches his lips in old school he's not gonna do one yeah he does a bunch of gulps you're supposed to just kind of relax your throat and let the gravity launch oh well that's tough because the character of frank the tank frank before he was frank the tank there he's he couldn't relax he he was stressed about even being at the party, so it was tough. When you say the party, you mean Mitchapalooza, right?

Yes. Releasing Mitch back out into the wild. Sponsored by Speaker City. Bring your little green hat. Snoopaloo. We're going streaking through the quad. Well, is that it for Booze News? Now you guys were talking about how this episode was Halloween style-y, I guess you said? I wasn't.

Well, we agreed with you when you said it. I agreed with you. Well, would it shock your hair white if you found out that the drink of the day had a scary name? Yes. Blood and sand, you've had? had no not heard nor had i've heard never had i would say one of those words is yeah i'm fine with the halloween scary thing yeah one of those words is scary mike you fine with sand sand i'm good with sand the sandman who hates sand anakin skywalker he does he lives in tattooing you know who's got to be careful around sand is paul a racket paul atreides from arrakis yes yes he does have all his friends on the planet of dune oh god you wanted to talk more about the blood i am sure that's geek shit no no no no um it's sci-fi baby well wait jeff you've

you've heard and do you have you heard of someplace specifically the blood and sand yes uh dresden has a blood and sand on the menu right now and i've heard it's weird this is exactly what i've heard i i originally knew it from seeing it on the menu at the Dresden. It's always been on the menu. And then it's actually on the menu at Tiki Tea. It's not really a Tiki drink, but they have one there. Okay, go ahead. I was going to say the only thing that I knew about this drink is that

it's that like bartenders don't like it and dissuade you from it. Because it's hard for them to make you think. No, I think just bartenders no booze and this is a bad drink but um well i heard our friend celebrity bartender jack schramm um i had a memory of him saying that he didn't like it or just that it sucked so this week i texted him and was like you're kind of a hater of the blood and sand right and he's like yeah it sucks and was like, what, is it just too juicy? And he's like, it's juicy, but he said it's unbalanced and that the orange juice makes it flabby.

This is a word he uses a lot for OJ, flabby. He probably means pulpy. He better not talk about his favorite pod host like that. He wouldn't there um now so in my research this week i found many people that agree with him um this is a cocktail invented for a movie there was this uh rudy valentino great screen actor uh he made in 1922 he came out with a bullfighter movie called blood and sand and then soon after um we all know the savoy cocktail book from the savoy hotel in london and we all say it with me the guy who put together the book credit credit harry craddock. Not to be confused with Harry of Harry's New York Bar in Paris, but Harry Craddock's famous book,

the Savoy Cocktail book, has this recipe, The Blood and Sand. And so it's around that time. So we don't know whether it was invented for the premiere or just a fan of that movie named the drink after it, but... Do you think a cocktail,

what would be the equivalent of a podcast back then like a newspaper i think one of the writers of the podcast of the cocktail newspaper was on his way to see the movie and he said i'm going to invent a drink and then the blood and sand was already invented not unlike you when you tried to make the cow be cordial and you saw that the batman movie had already invented the same drink yeah i bet I bet that they swung by McGuffin's Bar at the Americana Mall and saw, oh, Blood and Sand already exists. The Blood and the Batman. Well, so as I was, that's the origin of the drink.

And then once it's in the Savoy cocktail book, that's like what solidifies it. So it just exists. But like, I don't really think of this as a drink that a lot of people love. It's just canonized because it's in a popular book i saw one place attributed it to tiki tea but that's not right because tiki tea was after the savoy cocktail book but it must have been a mainstay at the tiki tea well what's possible is uh the tiki tea guy um uh booing his dad ray was a bar back at the original don the beachcomber so maybe

maybe it was at don beach or something like that um anyway i i found a lot i i like to go on youtube and watch like 10 different cocktail tutorials watch like influencer bartenders and pretty much all of them were like i don't really like this drink um uh to the point one guy even used the word flabby uh really jesus what does this mean well here's like jeff you and i recently were out uh shram was in la and he made us some drinks at thunderbolt and he he made this one tropical drink that had oJ in it, but it was acid-adjusted orange juice. It's where you put a little citric acid into orange juice, and it makes it so that it's as strong as lime juice or lemon juice. Oh, that sounds great.

Citrus-adjusted. It's great, and I think that that's flabbiness refers to like OJ. Water weight? It's just like OJ is delicious, but it's waterier than lime juice and lemon juice. So if you don't do this acid adjusted thing, you just have a dull, flabby. I can see that. You know what? And like the recipe today calls for, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but it calls for fresh squeezed orange juice.

And I bet you that that is better than even i even got good like simply orange but you know right out of the plant is right out of the fruit is probably the way to go for the most acid i did that i bought myself a couple of nice big navel oranges that i'm gonna squeeze but here's my theory this drink i'm gonna get into the recipe right now, which we're doing the Harry Craddock Savoy one. Um, it's equal parts. And I think that's the problem is when you see equal parts, we love it.

It's easy to remember. You say, Hey, equal parts, but easy on the, for that simplicity, it's easy. It's easy on the old noodle.

But what it's, the problem is to keep it simple. You're compromising. Probably. You probably could have done a slightly better measurement and and nailed it but instead you kept it really i think of the negroni as the only cocktail where it's like holy shit that's equal parts and it's perfect and you don't need to fuck with it some people some people do but i'm guessing that like just by keeping these equal

parts that's what made it sort of a diluted, bland. But Tim, it makes for a good segment three, doesn't it? Oh, everyone. You mean when final thoughts comes out? When the tweak of the week comes in. Oh, twists and turns. Speaking of tweak of the week, one YouTube influencer guy I watched made it with acid-adjusted orange juice.

That's the move. And then he sipped it and was like, hmm, still not great. But where does the common man buy citric acid? It's just around. Look around, you'll find it. Couch cushions, whatever. Have we gone into what's in this drink yet?

No, here we go. According to Harry Craddock, you're going to want to use... Like keeping us on task. Tim, take it away. I honestly didn't remember. This is not on the IBA list, but it's a very very very common it's kind of strange it's just probably because it's bad it's not on the iba list uh but it's on all the other standard places i got this from

liquor.com but it's the savoy cratic recipe three quarters of an ounce of scotch so that's odd how this is grouped with tiki drinks a lot, but it's a scotch drink. Now you want like an extra peaty scotch here? Michael, no. It says right here, choose one that isn't too peated. You don't want to over smoke this drink. Three quarters of an ounce sweet vermouth. Y'all have that? Mm-hmm.

I got red and Wally Pratt. I have Carpano Antiqua. I have a brand I love, but it's old. That's the kind you like. Yeah, I want to try that sometime. I got Dolan. Yeah, okay. That's a good brand.

Dolin. Dolinio. Three quarters of an ounce of Cherry Hearing liqueur got it michael have not got it but i have solved my little uh no maraschino cherry problem yes i got maraschino cherry so i'm going to use that syrup that's going to work um i have a big bottle of hearing left over from when we did the Singapore sling it just said cherry liqueur and we called Jack and he was like use the cherry hearing

it's just this it's a cherry liqueur that's dark it tastes like Luxardo cherry syrup kind of so if you don't have cherry hearing I would drip some from your jar or get a grenadine that's like one of the darker purple fancy grenadines and use that.

Drip it from the jar. Now that's the blood for the, now where's the sand? Three quarters of an ounce orange juice freshly squeezed. Ah, yes. That's the sand? That's the sand. That's the sand? Well, it's orange.

Okay, here's the steps. Add the scotch, sweet vermouth, cherry liqueur, and orange juice into a shaker with ice and shake until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass. I lost my coupe glasses. Garnish with an orange peel. Tim, I have one of your coupe glasses. It's here. It's safe.

There we go. Coupe a loup. Great. Bring your green hat. Coupe a loup. Well, what do you say we get on out of here, make up this round of equal parts. Fine, fine.

Good. And then discuss our feelings. Let's try it. Let's sip it. Then we'll discuss. Yes, yes. Sip it. Don't skip it.

Folks, we'll be right back after these messages. As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors, like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause, causing the risk of heart disease to go up. Know your risks. Visit heartandstroke.ca. And we're back! Blood and sands in hands. What do we think? It looks like shit.

Yeah, mine doesn't look like... The picture looks good. Mine got kind of weirdly red. Mine's very brown red. Yeah, Jeff, yours looks like when Austin Powers accidentally drinks the shit. Ooh, nice, nice. Is that a nice mental image for you, Jeff? I sort of ran out of the good scotch.

I use like, I don't know. I forget what it's called. But so I had to kind of do a little smokier, like they say not to do. Yeah, I think mine's a little too peaty. Oh, it's too peated. Too peated. Well, it's sort of a split base in that regard. Wow.

Shall we? Sips? Yeah, this does not smell good Jesus Christ I wondered how such disparate tastes would combine not well turns out yeah

not great I mean Not well, turns out. Yeah. Not great. I mean, this could very well be because my expectations were so low because everyone says it's terrible. But I do like cherry herring, and that's the main taste that's coming through. But I also, there's something nice in mine, not to say it's a good drink, but the fresh squeezed Oj is nice yeah and i gave it such

a shake that i have that kind of japanese um you know a lot of ice on top so having some orange foam i don't think i like you know the the cocktail itself isn't anything to write home about but crunchy orange ice on top is sort of fun we could use that in something i think scotch is a scotch is such a tough scotch scotch scotch i love yeah it's such a tough one it's such a tough uh dominates like orange juice and scotch is just uh it's like i don't like that idea you know what I mean? That's not a good idea to me. How about this? Listen to this.

Yes. You know what brand of scotch I used? What? Dewars. Dewars. And who orders Dewars? Dewars and soda. Jon Favreau in Swingers.

Where do they go in Swingers? Yes. The Dresden where this is on the menu. And furthermore, who acts in Old School, the film we earlier referenced but vince vaughn wow wow actor in swingers this is getting creepy and i think it's because mercury is in retrograde yes these are meaningful what a wide breadth of cinema uh things we know yeah oof um speaking of wide breadth of cinema if this is named for blood and sand the 1922 rudy valentino film are there any are there any silent films that you have watched that i love that you have watched and enjoyed other than when you're trying to be

when you're in film school and you're a pretentious little prick no are there any silent films you've enjoyed? I tried watching a, like years ago, tried watching a Charlie Ciappolino. Oh my God, he's my lord and savior. I appreciate it, but I was just like,

I just can't do this. It's by yourself. Like watching a silent movie alone is like, whew. Yeah. I watched Metropolis. Oh, I love that movie. It was pretty good.

It's a little bit archetypal. Like you can sort of... Did you make it through the whole thing in one sitting? Yeah, well, I watched the Giorgio Moroder one with like a bunch of like pop... Cheating. People. No, it's not cheating.

It's good. I hired a pianist, an upright pianist to play sit my house and play uh an upright pianist yeah what's the uh the the salvador dali movie that's referenced in the pixie song debaser oh shun shen andalou yeah slicing up eyeballs we watched that in film school and i remember thinking i actually really enjoy this um yes my education is quite refined now i will say this the reason i brought up uh that i was watching it by myself was this i you ever watch a uh a marx brothers movie at home yeah it's like it's funny and you're kind of like, oh yeah, this is pretty good.

I get the appeal here. But it's tough to watch a whole thing. Just because it's so old, and it's like, you know, the cutting is slow, the scenes are long. But I went to, I've probably talked about this on the podcast,

I went to the Egyptian before I moved to New York and saw two Marx Brothers movies. It was Day of the Races and A Night at the Opera. And they were so funny. And it was so fun to watch it with a group. That sounds fun, watching it with a big group. I've seen

like Horse Feathers and Duck Soup and some of the... Well, I'll tell you this. I like them. They're like 65 minutes long. That's nice. But I feel like I would enjoy it more with a crowd laughing it all up. Yeah, I think so many movies, especially comedies I watch at home because they're not in theaters anymore. But, man, imagine watching when Barb and Star.

I love that movie. When Barb and Star came out, imagine watching that in a theater. Yeah. I rented Barb and Star on Amazon the weekend it came out. Imagine watching that in a theater. Yeah. I rented Barb and Star on Amazon the weekend it came out. It was like COVID time. Hulu. Not the before times. But me and Jessica were at an Airbnb in Palm Springs,

and we rented it on Friday, and it was like a 48-hour rental. We watched it three times. Oh, yes. I watched it like twice in a row. Just have it on. You paid for it. We sat down and watched it three times once per night on a three-day weekend. It was amazing.

Great. Very funny. Very funny. Mike, when we saw Big Trouble in Little China. In the theater. All together. I think that was really helpful because that's not a movie where uh the laughs are like super obvious throughout but at the same time it wasn't full-on like when you watch like a wes anderson movie and people

are annoyingly laughing too hard right at little things like it was just fun to get little chuckles because kurt russell is being like weird and making weird funny choices the whole movie it's not like yeah yeah but they're not like banging you over the head with like a little rye um oh yeah well me and hanford saw uh kill bill at the old double feature theater on hollywood and vine and there was like a douchey guy there by himself like laughing to prove that he got that it was like pastiche he was like no and it was it was just like me and tim and this guy like there wasn't a lot of people in the theater and i went over him i was like pesty she was like no and it was just like me and tim and this guy like there wasn't a lot of people in the theater and i went over him i was like dude i love you and i respect that hell out of you now you gotta shut up wait wait who was it was i there i don't remember this is

just a story i remember where we went to or you went to someone else's when it's oft repeated went to darjeeling limited yeah yeah yeah and then somebody had brought their laptop and was watching um what is it hotel chevalier whatever yeah yeah a little short the natalie portman short yeah it's just like as people were sitting down yeah yeah he watched it like close to his like okay great you have to you have to watch it immediately before the film to understand. He was sitting in the front row so like 500 people behind him were like, oh cool dude.

Yes, it is cool. I'll sometimes in a movie I'll fully just barely look at the screen and just look at the audience when they laugh. I go, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Hmm. Ha, ha, ha.

Whoa. Boy, guys. boy guys as i'm drinking this here's a problem that i'm having i've i've got a bit of a reputation of just being a softball tim likes all the drinks oh he never says he doesn't like it he says i love all god's foods he says he doesn't like a drink. He says, I love all God's foods. He says he loves all God's foods. He's a pushover. It's not a great reputation. I want to be, I'm trying to expand my horizons and be knowledgeable, but I don't want to say I like everything. That doesn't make you sound smart. Tim, I still think of you as a discerning man.

Oh, thank you. Well, here's the problem. You've said exactly that, though, before that you love everything. I do love everything. Except rotten food. Well, maybe this is cool. Maybe I'm, well, with a drink like this that everybody hates, then it's also kind of a pretentious move to be like, I actually like it. You know, nobody likes it, but I like it.

But my problem is, as I'm drinking this, I'm like, I'm not a huge Manhattan guy and I've had some good Manhattans, but this has scotch whiskey and this has sweet red vermouth with my fresh squeeze orange juice and my, and the good brand of sweet red vermouth that I do use for Manhattans and the crunchy ice in it. I am liking this more than Manhattan's. You know what? If you went to Manhattan and just put a dash of the cherry hearing in it, that would be great. Yeah. This is a waste of cherry hearing in my book. I'm hearing cherry.

I'm kidding. I do like a big fat Luxardo cherry in my Manhattan's, and sometimes that juice kind of emanates and gives it this flavor. As you push it out of the jar, it scoops in that juice. This is a drink I'm not hating, but it's kind of just a lot of weird flavors. Jeff, you said you used Simply Orange. Mike, what was your OJ? My OJ was...

I kind of biffed it a little bit. I squeezed mandarin. That's good. I squeezed mandarin. I didn't have orange juice. I forgot to get orange juice. And I don't have oranges in the house. But a mandarin's an orange.

A mandarin is so an orange. And it's fresh. That's amazing. You did a good thing. So what if it's not a navel? Thank you. A navel. Well, let me say this.

I think the Manhattan deserves a retrial. Ooh, could be. Manhattan revisited. Manhattan 2. Redux. How about this? You two come out to Manhattan. We go to a bar and get Manhattan's. Let's go to

Bemelman's. Bemel Boys. I feel like we learned that the Manhattan was invented at a social club in Midtown that is no longer there. But we should do that. That fun plus jeff we're going to see fish new year's eve yeah yeah so you'll be in town that'll be convenient no no i'm not

going i'm sorry i'm not going no no no no no no fun shall be had not even for a joke not one groove not one jam you guys can jam. You guys can go be crunchy. Yeah, but I want to put it on the Sloppy Boys LLC card. But that's not what we want. That's not what we want. We want you to be there. It's no fun if it's just me and Tim. We hate it. We hate it when you're not there.

I'm sort of the lube. You know what's funny, Jeff? You've gone on record in the blowout saying you do not like the Violent Femmes. Yeah, correct. So now, when that song, Blister in the Sun, comes on these days, a song I, it's overplayed for me, but a song I generally like, it'll come on and I'll be, in my brain, I'll be like, Jeff doesn't like this.

And it makes it not fun for me. I yucked your yum? i yucked your yum you yucked my yum and that's okay but because i was already probably on the way out with that song anyway but it is like jeff doesn't like this i'll skip this it's bad folks it's coy and whiny well i want to do a second round but i don't want to drink any more of this i think you should do second round. You go a little extra with the cherry. Yeah. And maybe the orange juice,

but I'm not going to do another round just because it's, I get it. Tim, another round for you. I'm going to do another round. I'm going to do it on the rocks, which I think could be fun. And I love the violent fans.

And I think, I think that blister in the Sun is a fantastic song and unique. New York. You heard it here first, folks. All right. We will see you after this next round of fresh ads. French ads. Peace.

and we're back with tweaks on the blood and sand i just added more cherry hearing and put it on the rocks and it's a little better but i don't care about this drink jefferson how about you what about rudy rudy valentino's silent film you know what rudy valentino oh oh oh you know you say you like movies but you don't like rudy valentino what'd you do timmy you liking it i put it on the rocks yeah i like it my fuck i like it fuck fuck my life i like mike mike do you like i like i made no change but uh i'll do my final thoughts here this is a very apprehensive order again very apprehensive i'm curious so you'll order it again but your hands will be shaking as you tell the bartender to make you one

I'll order it again I might not drink it you order it again you pull the fire alarm and run out I sort of already said what I feel like about it but I'm just going to say officially this is a skip okay it's a skip but is it a stone cold classic? A stone cold skipper.

This is for me pains me to say. Order again. I love it. Do you love it? I love it. And I'm not nor I don't want to be a pushover and I nor do I am I trying to be a contrarian

I unfortunately just love it you're just being an edgelord Tim yeah I'm a shock jock did you hear that guy he likes the blood and sand even though a lot of people think it's flabby what guy oh shut up

I think it's better than a Manhattan fresh squeezed orange juice inside of a Manhattan. This is great. Well, I guess that's it for the blood and sand, one of the most divisive drinks on the entire pod. Yes, yes. That was the blood and sand drink. Now, are you two ready for the blood or sand quiz?

Yes. Okay. This is the blood and sand quiz. That's all this is the blood and sand quiz that's all this is i'm gonna write down your scores here the blood and sand quiz that's all that this is the blood and sand quiz now i don't know if you've heard of this before i think it's getting very popular it's like one of those trendy games people are playing at home yeah this is one of those games where the answers to the questions have the word blood or sand in it you see there will be blood cool um here we go do any of my quick question before we start yeah last week i came really close to winning that, Oscar Gold. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had a lot of points there. It was a slow quiz. The slow quiz.

Now, do any of my points from the slow quiz come into play on Blood or Sand quiz? No, I assume you're asking this question for the listener, because we did discuss this last time. You will get those points again when we do another slow quiz. Right.

But this is now the blood or sand quiz, you see. Yes, of course. Question one. This was the first Coen Brothers movie. Blood Simple. That is a Tim point. Fuck. Miller's Crossing. No, you got it all right with Blood Simple. Huds a Tim point. Fuck. Miller's Crossing.

No, you got it all right with Blood Simple. Hudsucker Proxy. Now, Bloodsucker Proxy would be something. I would accept Bloodsucker Proxy, but he already came in with Blood Simple. You would? How about this? Fart and Stink instead of Bart and Fink. Okay.

What about instead of Fargo? Well, that wouldn't work because it doesn't have blood or sand Fargo could be Sando I wouldn't mind eating a chicken Sando Okay next question Here we go Exit light enter night Take my hand we're off to never

Blood man Enter Sandman There it is The song is from Blood Man. Enter Sandman. There it is. Fuck. Timmy boy. The song is from the band Metallica. They made that song. Okay. In this movie, Leo DiCaprio employs a shoddy South African accent.

Blood Diamond. Damn, I knew it. I knew it as well. Do I get a side point for knowing it? No, he doesn't. That's interesting. Mike? No.

He does not. He does not. You can't just give away side points like that this early in the game. Side points sort of come around when it's like, oh, what's going to happen next? Okay. Here we go. How long, how long must we sing this song? How long?

How long? Sunday, Bloody Sunday. Sunday, Bloody Sunday. Yeah, for Sunday. That was a little... I screwed it up a little bit. Can I tell you, the reason I didn't get it was because Mike screwed it up. A little screw up.

Yeah. That's okay. You can expect a few screw-ups in the blood or sand quiz oh i didn't know that i didn't know that about the blood or sand yeah you can expect that make him the cutest that i've ever seen give him two lips and roses and clover mr sandman tell him his lonesome nightsights are over. That's right, Mr. Sandman. See, again, another screw-up. I messed up the lyric.

Well, that'll happen on the Blood or Sand quiz. Yeah, there's some screw-ups. Some screw-ups can happen. The eighth track on this album is called The Same Boy You Always Know. New. The eighth track on this album is called The Same Boy You Always Know. New. The eighth track on this album. The Same Boy You've Always Known is the name of the song.

Another little screw up. Another one of these little screw ups. Same Boy. Quicksand. Now, I don't know the album Quicksand. Blood on the Tracks. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. The eighth track on this album is called The Same Boy You've Always Known.

Is it Blood on the Tracks by Bob Dylan? No, no. If you get... Oh, with the blood or sand, if you get the answer correct, I go, yes. Oh. Or I'll say, Tim got it, or Jeff got it. You know, something like that. Blood on the Dance Floor.

Nope. Blood on the Leaves. Sand on the Dance like that. Blood on the dance floor. Nope. Blood on the leaves. Sand on the dance floor. Sand on the track. This band would wear red outfits at times. Devo. No. Blood sport.

You and Me Baby Ain't Nothing But Mammals. Well, I picked a probably too hard of a song. I'm going to say, I'm just going to go. You're going to get it immediately.

The first song on this album is called Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground. White Blood Cells. There it is. Fuck. Fuck. Yeah. Same boy you've always known. Same boy you've always known. Same boy you've, oh, you've known.

All right. Meg, you take it from here. Here we go. What are you looking so miserable about? There's a whole ocean of oil under our feet. There will be blood. There it is. Tim said it at the top of the damn thing.

But then he came around and got it again. He came around and got it again. Now, this is tough. Jeff, you have two. Tim, you have five. Yeah. And there's only one question left. Mm-hmm.

So. Is it a zero point question? If you really get this one, Jeff, you might be able to knock yourself into the lead, but you really got to get it. If you really get it. What? If I really get it? Not to get it, but if you really knock it out of the park.

Sometimes, like if it was... This is the final question. This is the final one. So you got Blood Diamond, Jeff, and you really got those points because you said Blood Diamond. But you would have... I mean, you got the points because you said Blood Diamond. If you said blood diamond but you would i mean you got the points because you have blood if you really said it you said blood diamond immediately you knew it immediately sometimes it's like uh oh blood diamond you know what i mean like that's

right right that's you just get the one point but you could win i understand perfectly you could win the game if you get this one really get it and tim all you need to do is just kind of get it. I just got to be me. You don't even, yeah. Now it's up to you. We can make a secret rendezvous. Just me and you. I'll show you loving like you never knew.

Is this a song? It's lyrical, indeed. Yeah, part of what I don't like about this quiz is the lack of context. Either it just launches into a quote or a song. No, it's one of those quizzes where you have to kind of, you have to get the rules as you go. Oh, okay.

You know what I mean? And there's screw-ups along the way? You know the game, there have been screw-ups along the way. This one was read, actually, surprisingly, pretty perfectly. It was fairly

lucid reading. Can we say it again? Jeff, you know that game we've played at your house? I always forget the name of it, but it's a side-scroller and you kind of like have to learn the game

as it goes. Limbo? Inside? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just kind of do it and you learn it. Great. can we get that question again? Now it's up to you We can make a secret rendezvous

Downtown, downtown Just me and you I'll show you lovin' like you never knew Sands of Time The band is Foreigner Blood Foreigner Blood Foreigner Sandstorm

That's our weekly bonus episode where you can listen to us talk about Nightmare on Elm Street for once. That's patreon.com slash the Sloppy Boys. Hey, good episode, guys. A nice spooky one. I'm going to end you. Speaking of spooky, I'm going to end you with this. I just said that I saved myself at the last moment.

Another thing you could also say, saved at the nick of time. Saved by the bell. We've heard that before. I was on a spooky haunted tour recently. Very fun. You take a van all around Brooklyn. It stops at different places and tells you about spooky things. Well, it was talking about, the guide was talking about, in the old days,

they used to bury people alive because they didn't know they were dead. They didn't have the medical resources. You're talking about the bell? The bell. And what they would do, they'd bury people with a string on their finger, going all the way up a tube to a bell, like up on top of the earth. So if you woke up in your casket, you'd ring the bell and they'd get you out. So that's where Saved by the Bell comes from.

Interesting. Dead Ringer also comes from that. And the graveyard. I thought Saved by the Bell came from boxing when there was a 10 count, but the bell. You'll have to talk to our tour guide. I'll find his name and I can. venmo just i venmoed him so for a tip so you can venmo you you venmo me now and then i'll work from there yeah

but also the term uh the graveyard shift because somebody would be employed to like sit around and listen for the bells oof and you can imagine on some of those windy autumn nights, yes, it wreaked havoc with the bells and yes, there was a lot of digging up of corpses. Oh, that's funny.

You know, sometimes if I was one of them and I didn't want to really do my job, I had, you know, I was trying to like get a little shut-eye. Yeah.

If I hear a noisy-ass bell, I'll go over there and just clamp it with my hand. I didn't hear nothing. Yeah, you'd be sitting in your graveyard shift chair, headphones on. Hot-blooded chicken sea.

Hot-blooded. Well, great episode, guys. What do you say we all meet back here same time next week? Yeah, I think that rocks. We should have a steady drumbeat of putting the episodes out every week so that listeners can follow along.
