Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton along with Tim Kalpakis. Happy New Year! And Mike Hanford. Happy New Year! Mike! And we're your host the sloppy boys

you guys see how I flipped it on you this time flipped the script I thought I had I thought I had a lot of time to sit back while Mike says yo

Mike were you sad because you weren't first no I'm sad because I just realized I didn't fulfill last year's new year's resolution

oh no what was it? To meet Michael Jordan. Oh, Mike. I'm kidding. I met him. We had a great time. We had a great chat.

The whole time, he's like, did I look good on that documentary? You looked fine, Mike. You're the best, dude. We love you, dude. We love you, dude. We love you, dude. Happy New Year to all and to all a good 2021. We like you best when you dunk.

Yeah. Not when you sit around looking at your iPad while you're being interviewed. We like you when you sink a three. Yeah, we like you better when you dunk. I cut you off, Jeff. You just cut me out of that. No, no.

See, the best thing is we can chop it up so it looks like we just did it perfectly. We all get our jokes in. Yeah, yeah. Great. Because we're all so funny. Even me. Oh, no. Poindexter.

I have been working on the perfect joke formula all year. Oh, no. I'll let you know when I finally have my results. All of 2021? Yes. Hey Tim, you got some booze news? What's going on? I do. Got some booze news. And this, you know, when you're watching the news and they have like an entertainment segments, like we'll Fox five on the aisle and they do a movie review or something like that. Oh yeah, that's cool. It's fucking awesome. I know, that's what I was thinking.

I've got kind of like a booze news at the multiplex little featurette which is that on our little side Patreon show we often talk about films and we have watched a few touchstone films from the 80s and 90s and we noticed a lot of product placement. Literally touchstone

pictures, yes. Yes, lots of touchstone pictures had miller products and beyond touchstone because it was in lebowski uh on this pot it was on in uh cocktail cocktail it was in coyote ugly coyote ugly and it was a specific beer that caught our eye that they were drinking mgd miller genuine draft look it up sometimes light sometimes uh high life but very often mgd so uh me being a little uh investigative journalist i went on bagoosh look what i'm doing right here wow oh boy look at that puts his money where his mouth is. It's a clear bottle. It's a black and gold label. And it says Miller Genuine Draft. Cold filtered beer.

Fresh draft taste. Did you get it on, bid for it on eBay or something? Where'd you come across that thing? I bid for it at the counter of BevMo. I'll take it at the price on the label. Sold. And I got to say, it's delicious. It tastes good.

It's good. It's almost exactly like High Life, but there's not that one little High Life-y flavor that is distinct to High Life. This is just a nice average. But I don't understand what's draft about it. I thought it was going to be flat or something. It's not flat. We should have done like a taste test with all the different millers. We should still do that.

We should still do that. We should still do that. It doesn't even need to be on the podcast. It could be at the comfort of our own homes. Let's do it later tonight in the middle of the night. Yeah, out at a bar, a crowded bar. You know what that bottle looks like? I just look at that bottle and I have an association with it being like a bunch of empty ones in the woods near my house.

I was going to say, it reminds me, I don't know why. It reminds me of like, uh, when you just see a bunch of smashed glass on the sidewalk and the only thing holding it together is like the, the remaining label.

Yeah. But the black, the black and gold does it. I don't know why. I usually have a stack of those black and gold labels in my pocket and I'll walk around the streets of Los Angeles and I see some glass. It could be a windshield or it could be a broken cup, but I'll still stick that little black sticker on there just to keep all the glass close together so that the trash person can come around and say, yes, all right, it's all

right here. Thank you, Tim. I'll bend over once. I'll pick it up once. That's that. As my dad would always say, I've only got so many bends in my knee. Hey, I noticed I've been watching Cobra Kai. Oh. You know, the guy in that show drinks Coors Banquet. I love Coors Banquet. Tim, you're going to love this guy. Now, does he drink the yellow can

or the little stout banquet bottle? The little stout banquet bottle. Oh, classic. I think Coors Banquet was the first beers I ever had a full one of. A full one? A fully. And they were warm and they were scum. Yeah, because that's how you drink them when you first find beers.

Isn't that weird, though, how much the Silver Bullet has edged out the flagship Coors? Yeah, why is that? What's Silver Bullet all about? Is that light? It's just light. They're not tapping the Rockies for the normal Coors. Oh, can you not buy Coors Light? It's just Coors Silver.

Oh, no, it's Coors Light, Silver Bullet. It's Coors Light. Gotcha, gotcha. But the Coors Banquet is on sale everywhere, and I buy them. I love them. But I don't really see them as much as I see those. Silver Bullets are a classic beach drink. I feel like that's in every cooler on the sand. The Coors

Banquet, like 22 ounce or whatever, is so funny because there's like a big yellow log that's in the beer aisle. I'll buy this log and pop it open. Hopefully there's not just wood and termites inside well that's all the booze news I have wrap it up and let's get down to business

yeah no booze news for me over here I'm pretty uneventful in the news for me on this side well hey let me set a little scenario for you guys. Oh. You know, you can close your eyes if you want.

You don't have to. It might help. Okay. Hey. Yeah, yeah. So we're outside here, and it's the three of us here on this patio. This is very nice. It's a glorious day.

Nothing, just me enjoying the atmosphere. Yes, great. Okay. Like I was saying, it's a glorious day back here at our favorite brunch restaurant, Thicket. Oh, it's so hip. It's so hip here. Look at this. Look at the patio.

Look at the furniture here. This is all reclaimed wood. It's straight out of Williamsburg. It's great. Look at this. The jam and This is all reclaimed wood. It's straight out of Williamsburg. It's great. Oh, look at this. The jam and toast is $42.50. Well, it's very good, and it's actually organic. Oh! They twisted up my napkin into a big old swan.

Hey, and nobody's complaining. We do this every Sunday. It's always the same, and it's fantastic. Oh, oh, oh, wait.. Hold on guys. Here comes our waiter. Hi Alvin. Hey, my friend, you know us, me and Tim and Jeff. Hey, yeah, we're the sloppy boys. These are, you know, I'm always telling you about these guys, even though we come here all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're ready to order. Hey, guys, would you mind if I order for the table? I've got something up my sleeve. Let's start with the asparagus tomato goat cheese frittata.

I think that would be good. Let's do the avocado toast with poached eggs. Not too runny. Sweet potato muffins for the table. Obvs. Breakfast enchilada casserole. I think you guys we love that. Let's do that.

We skipped out on last time. We have to get the creamy blueberry baked french toast. Have to. Have to. And let's see. To drink, why don't we eschew the coffee for now and just go with three mimosas. That's right. It's mimosa time,

baby. Here on the sloppy boys pod. Oh my God, Mike, you are so cool. Did you? Well, Hey, come on. You guys are cool too. Did you really feel like you were back at thicket? I did. I did. I felt underdressed. I was looking around and saying, oh, should I be wearing, I don't know, the finest khaki? Well, it is the who's who of Cincinnati, Ohio. I can't believe I wore sweatshorts to Thicket. Duds! Sweatshorts. Yes, yes.

Sometimes, you know, the most expensive sweatshorts are kind of the fanciest power move of it all. Oh, yeah. These were supreme, by the way. Oh, well, well. Hello. I take it back. It's mimosa day. It's the drink of brunch. We all know it. We all love it. It's probably the simplest thing we've had so far. I'm talking two and a half ounces of fresh orange juice, two and a half ounces of Prose orange juice, two and a half ounces of Prosecco. Pour the orange juice into a flute glass and gently pour the sparkling wine. Stir gently.

Garnish with an orange twist if you want. This is also known as a Buck's Fizz. Buck's Fizz. You ever heard that? No, we all call it mimosa. If I ever heard anybody call it a Buck's Fizz, I'd say you can't sit with us at Thicket. If I heard someone say it's a Buck's Fizz, I'd say you can't sit with us at Thicket. If I heard someone say it's a Bucks Fizz, I'd say, oh, then you must know that it was invented in 1921 at Bucks Club in London for the simple reason the gentleman had an excuse to drink before lunch.

Right? Right. You do understand. You do. I mean, that's why you're calling it a buck's fizz uh what they probably don't know is that a buck's fizz was originally more champagne but then the mimosa 1925 ritz hotel paris frank minor invented the mimosa equal parts wine and juice so question for you guys i'll be the i you guys. I'll play the dummy here.

Please, please. Now our recipe calls for Prosecco. Yes. I got champagne. Am I wrong? What's the relation here? You know I should have looked this up. I've got no idea. I've never known. There's Brut, there's Prosecco,

they're all sparkling white wine. Champagne is the famous one. I saw at the liquor store where I got this, they had Corbell, a couple of different Corbells. That's what I got. I got Corbell too. Yeah.

It's because it's like available everywhere. There's Corbell, but there's like a spectrum of the Corbell, California champagne selector. All of them laid out left to right. I had my eye on the one that said extra dry. Oh, Jefferson. And then I look at the spectrum,

extra dry is right smack in the middle. Extra dry is in the middle? Yeah, I expected, because the spectrum is drier on the left, sweeter on the right. And I said, oh, extra dry is right where I want it. It's right in the middle. Well, so then did they keep, if you keep going down is it like um a chicken wing restaurant

where they say like so dry you'll suck uranus up your sahara desert past the water please sandpaper this will dry out your ass for a year since we all all got Corbell, uh, wait, what did you guys get? I got Corbell, California champagne, extra dry. I wanted to try the Coca-Cola of champagnes. Cause I don't drink a lot of champagne.

And you know, the weird thing is I feel like I, when I do, it's always fancy champagne. Cause if I have it, it's like, somebody's like, Hey,

I got a bottle of Moet or I got a bottle of Vouv. And I'm like, yeah, give me some of that. A bottle of Vouv. And every once in a while, it's like a present. You know, if you get like a bottle of Dom from like, you know, your boss or something like that, then you're like, I got a bottle of Dom. I think almost all of the champagne I've had in my life has been fancy stuff that I can't even afford. So I was excited to buy a $12 bottle of normal stuff. Me too.

I don't know. It's not in the room with me right now. I think it was just a dry thing. I forget. Well, should I read it left to right? The dryness? Yeah. Okay.

This is from dry to sweet. The first one is natural. Ugh. Which is crazy looking. Then there's brute made with organically grown grapes. Then there's Chardonnay, normal brute, extra dry right in the middle. I seem to think mine was brute. Is there a Corbel brute?

Yeah, there sure is. I think it's the brute one. Brute is a little, I feel like a little misnamed, huh? That one of the sweeter wines is called Brut. Yeah. I got to tell you, I'm not a big champagne fan, my damn self. And then heading into the sweet territory, we've got Blanc de Noir, Brut Rosé, Sweet Cuvée, and Sweet Rosé. This all seems French to me. Yeah. It all seems French to me.

It's all French to me. I, yeah, I'm not a big champagne fan. I do like saying champagnolo, though. But no, I'm not a champagne fan. I think it gives me a headache. That might be... I think it gives me a headache, too. That's probably why people like it really

dry instead of the sweet stuff. Hey! Have you guys ever had champango? No. No. Champagne and a mango? Champango. Golden Road makes these tall slim cans of mango champagne. I mean maybe it's beer but it's like champagne-y and it's pretty delicious. But yeah I don't know. I don't drink a lot of champagne. If I do it's like New Year's Eve't drink a lot of champagne. If I do, it's like new year's Eve, somebody else bought the bottle. And then with mimosas, this recipe is interesting

because I feel like I normally wouldn't want half of it to be OJ. Right. I usually put a little, we ordered some, uh, uh, champagne kind of, uh, recently after when we got the election results, we said, Hey, let's celebrate. We're in some champagne. And I made mimosas. One little eyedropper of OJ. I didn't want to dump too much OJ in there. I like these one-to-one recipes, though. Yeah.

Easy. It's good for us math whizzes. Yeah. If you want to double it for two people, easy. See, here's what I'll do. I'm going to make one according to the IBA, but then right on my desk, right next to it, I'm going to have the OJ and have the champagne and I'm going to jack it up. Jay's way.

You sneaky fuck. Jay's way. Jay's way. Man, maybe I'll do mine Jay's way. I'm doing it IBA way. Everybody get your stuff and then do it Jay's way. Meaning your own way. Man, maybe I'll do mine Jay's way. I'm doing it IBA way. Everybody, get your stuff and then do it Jay's way. Meaning, your own way. I got, wait, do you guys have little bottles or full-ass bottles?

I had to buy a big fucking bottle of Corvette. I got a little one. I got a big bottle and there's no saving that in your fridge, so I have to drink a whole bottle. I know, I'm going to finish it. I have to. You know how you keep the bubbles in? I don't know a whole bottle. I'm going to finish it. I have to. You know how you keep the bubbles in? I don't know why this works.

You put a spoon, the handle end of a metal spoon, down the barrel of it. Huh? I don't know how it works. But it keeps the bubbles bubbly. Mike, that could be some serious booze news quality sleuthing. Check it out. I mean, that's something to really look at.

My girlfriend does that, and she says it works. That's kind of a life hack home remedy thing. That's right. You just reminded me what I have. Jessica has some fun wine paraphernalia. And so what I'm going to use is I've got this big marble bottle holder thing that sits in the fridge all the time. So it's real cold and you i'm gonna you put the bottle in that then i've got this metal rod in my freezer that goes down the middle of the champagne and it's got a built it's like a tube with a spout on the top so i can keep my

corbel just the temperature that i like it oh nice ice cold do you remember the corbel commercial that's like um they had an ad campaign when we were kids that was like, if it's not Corbell, it's not champagne. So there was an ad where there was a man and a woman on a couch and they look kind of rich and they're making out. And then he takes off her high heel shoe and he pours some champagne into it. And he takes a sip and he spits it out and he goes it's not corbel i love when when cheaper brands put themselves in a loftier position just like claim that it's the best thing that's just a lie it's just false advertising to be like so this rich guy will spit out something that's not corbel the the cheaper i bet he didn't get any hanky panky. Oh no, that dude, you know, he's got blue bulls to this day. To this day. That actor. But maybe we'll love Korbel.

Maybe we're being hard on Korbel. I think it's like, I don't know the difference of anything. It's like when people tell me like different IPAs have hops and stuff. Sure. But when you have the goods, have you had Dom Perignon? It's like fucking delicious. Yes had have you had dom perignon it's like fucking delicious yes i've had dom perignon and when i drink that i'm like oh i get it i'm not gonna ever buy it but i do i poured it in my shoe and i drank it i spit it out okay disgusting i just

come from a long hike hey have you guys heard of corksicle? Oh, wait a second. Is that a boozy ice cream we talked about on here once? No, no, no. This is, they do like a bunch of booze related stuff. My circular, my big circular ice cube trays are from Corksicle. Oh, those are cool. But the main thing that they started with was their flagship product, the Corksicle. And it looks like an icicle with a cork on top that you put into wine to keep it cold and you can also like pour through the spout it's not like actual ice it's like a freezer bag type thing yeah yeah yeah so you got a nice big cold spike going down your wine interesting you can still pour through it that's awesome very good idea i love all these gadgets and gizmos. Have you seen those ice cubes that are just like steel,

they're like metal? Yeah, you put like a steel or like a rock. Yeah, I don't know what the deal is. I don't have a need for those. I like when my cubes melt and make my drink better. I feel like those hard ones are for maybe people who are really picky about scotch or something. Probably, and it's like, yeah,

because if they melt, then it doesn't matter. Ah, there you go. This is why we're lucky to be such three bozos. We don't have to worry about that stuff. Because otherwise you got them smacking your teeth. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like that. Like an Irish car. You can have heavy objects, heavy objects in your cups. Three bozos who don't like champagne and like beer more. Every time I take a sip of a drink, my rock cubes start rolling and I feel a shaking ground like it's an avalanche coming at me. I say, oh, look out below. You're like Indiana Jones running from those ice cubes. I've had a slush puppy or two where I am all done with the syrup part and the tip it back and all the slush ice falls in my face.

It's not fun. You try and clap it just so to just coax out just enough. And then you end up getting a nose full of crushed ice. Yo, that's right. Well, this is an easy one to make. Oh, do you want to hear any more history on this thing? Let me tell you about this. It was in the Royal, the Royals in london were uh drinking

mimosas and we're drinking them as a pre-dinner drink oh um okay so the the royals had it so i using context clues there i can figure out that the lord did not have any mimosas because she'll never be royals basically exactly yes She will not ever do that. She will probably just stay with her Bloody Marys. Because I'll never drink mimosas. I'll just have water.

And a side of avocado toast here at Thicket. Damn, that was a week ago. Whoopsie. Hey, how about, are we still hungover from the partying last night? Wow. I've got a throbber.

This mimosa will be a nice hair of the dog. H-O-the-D, as they say. Yeah, yeah, well. Yeah, yeah, this will be H-O-the-D Alright, let's get into it That's just about enough of that Once we get to H-O-the-D It's time to take a little break

Once the ratings are plummeting We gotta get out of here See ya, fellow mixologists We'll be right back, and when we will We'll be right back, and when we will be right back We'll be right back. And when we will, we'll be right back. And when we will be right back, we'll be right back. We'll be right back.

And when we are back, we'll be drinking those mimosas. Perfect. Hey folks, we're back. Mimosas in hand. Brunchy brunchy. Time for lunchy. Cheers. Cheers. Bottoms up.

Are these mimosas bottomless? I mean, yours and mine are because we have a whole bottle of champagne in the fridge. Oh, hell yeah. I've hit the bottom. Okay, sips away. Sips away. Ooh. It is what it is. It zings you.

It gets there. I should have said when I said I didn't like champagne, I also don't really like mimosas. It's just something I... But you love orange juice. I love orange juice. I drink it all the time.

It's one of my two favorite drinks. But I just don't like it. I don't like the combo, and I do not like the scratchy throat feeling it gives me. It's funny because it's like a weird thing where this drink I would never just like, just make and just have it. I do love brunch. I love the idea

of like waking up really late on a Sunday. I don't love like the east side brunch scene. Sure. But I do love the idea of eating a ton of food and getting drunk at noon. It's just kind of funny because the Bloody Mary is like one of my all-time favorites.

So it's interesting to reach for this instead. Well, before, it was funny, before the mimosa showed up at the brunch table, it was, yeah, Bloody Marys were popular. And then also banana daiquiris and even double martinis. Double martinis? Drinking a double martini in the morning? Very popular amongst shaky hand alcoholics. Yes. Give me the special.

But I also, I like the idea of a banana daiquiri. Yeah, that sounds great. It's like a smoothie. Not me. Gross. Duds. There's just. I think you're gross.

Mike, I can't believe you bad mouthed the mimosa right out the gate like that. Well, what do you want me to say? I love this thing. Every sip is a delight to my tongue and teeth. Yes. Hell no. Yes. Would it kill you?

I want you to bow at the altar of mimosa. I guess I gave my, you know, my feeling of it, but I just don't like it. I mean, I understand the, it's too juicy. I get that. I just dumped a bunch it. I mean, I understand the it's too juicy. I get that. I just dumped a bunch more Corbell in here. But yeah, I mean, look, you can't be like, oh, it scratches my throat and be like, but I'll have a big salty Bloody Mary, please. I can say whatever I would damn well please about my own throat. You can't, Michael.

It's inconsistent. Mike, he's got you here. You can't. You've been owned by Facts and Logic. I just... It wouldn't be the first time. When we post this episode, it should say,

Jeff owns Mike. Yes, Facts and Logic were involved. That's the name. Yeah, this is not... It's not something I would... Like, given the choice, I would always get something else. Like what?

What are you doing? What's, what are the other, Hey, we all love bloodies and we all drink bloodies. What are the other brunchy? We don't have banana daiquiris and we don't have double my, so I would go, I would go with the, uh, I would go with the, um, a beer. Yeah. Beer. Or even like a screwdriver.

I would like better than this. Oh, how about a tequila sunrise? Exactly. Now we're talking. Hey, I had a tequila, well, not technically a tequila sunrise. The other night, I mixed up, I had some pineapple juice left over. Nice. And I said, hey, I'm going to put a little tequila in there, a little grenadine.

Hey. With pineapple. Oh, you should see if that's a thing. And if not, claim it as your own. I bet you. I bet you it's something. A Dutton dip. Have you guys ever had a thinking of brunch drinks?

Have you ever had a Kerr Royale? K-I-R. I think it's Kerr. I've only ever had at the Langham Hotel. They do a fancy brunch there. And it's the only thing on the menu that I didn't recognize. So like, oh, the Kerr Roy brunch there and it's the only thing on the menu that i didn't recognize so like oh the cur royale and it's jeff remember when you told us the history of the tequila sunrise the original uh arizona version of it from the 30s had creme de cassis yes which was

like a black currant liqueur oh i just I just Googled Cur Royale and it's champagne and creme de cassis. Ooh. And it's very good. It's like, instead of being orange juicy, it's like a mimosa, but it's pink

and, you know, tastes like a black currant. It's very elegant and they drop a little raspberry in there and I just thought that that was so divine.

Sinfully delectable. Hey, what's a Paloma? Grapefruit, right? Tequila with grapefruit soda. So like the easy one is squirt. Cuervo and squirt. Cuervo and squirt. I think Paloma sounds a little better than

Cuervo and squirt. I drink enough Cuervvo makes me squirt. Yikes. Well, so, you know, I've, I've been,

uh, I sort of sucked out the energy with my negative vibes on this drink. You guys, how you feel, how you feel about your sips over there? It's a whole context thing. It feels weird. Uh,

we're recording this, uh, podcast in the PM hours. It's kind of strange to have this, uh, now, cause I just, it's part of a brunchy

bacchanal. I think I'd like it if I had a bunch of bacon and Benedict's. I'm picturing you down in the- Yeah, yeah. Give me some eggs over here. Where's my hand job? Over in Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Tim is out there, shirt unbuttoned or off, grease from all the bacon all over his chest. Hey, how about you pour that mimosa on my crotch, will you? Shirt unbuttoned or off, grease from all the bacon all over his chest. Hey, how about you pour that mimosa on my crotch, will you? I like to burn. It did feel weird to go half and half. I feel like I'm going to try to drink this whole bottle of Corbel tonight, and I think that I'm going to just put a little splash of orange juice on the top.

I think you can do it. This isn't going to bode well for the blowout. Oh, no. We're recording a Patreon right after this, and it's going to be sloppy. That's what's fun about the Patreons. They get a little loose. They get fun. Yeah.

Frankly, this show sucks. Okay. Also, I should subscribe. Yeah. Get over on the Patreon, folks. I'm starting to think both shows suck. Hey, wait a minute. We'll hold on

to that just a second here. It's my top, it's my top podcast of 2020. Oh, really? That's right. What an honor.

Heard every episode. Mine, I did a re-listen of Serial Season 1. You're a Koenig crazy. Okay, as I, I'm in,

I'm finishing off my first one and now I'm just gonna, before I totally finish it, I'm to top it off with Korbel. He's doing it Jay's way. This is going to be Jay's way. So you're more of a, you're looking at more of a, what do I want? You're more of a Bucks fizz happening over there.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As I Google, what was that? No, no, I wasn't searching for any of that written down anywhere. See, this is the Buck's Fizz. See, this just looks like cloudy, slightly yellow. Yeah. And it tastes more like Orangina.

Oh, Jeff, you don't have a... Tim and I got the champagne flutes here. What do you got, Jeff? It's just a juice class. I'm drinking out of an old can. A rusty bean can. I'm drinking... of an old can. A rusty bean can. I'm drinking. I got a stemless little guy here.

I don't. Yeah, it looks like a stemless wine glass. Yeah, I don't do stems. Yeah, stemless. I don't like the stems myself, but you got to have them. What about stem cell research? A kind of an ethical dilemma. I like stems.

I'll tell you. I'll tell you what. I like stems on my posies, and that's about it. Hey, look at this. I got my bottle of Corbell in this frozen marble. What would you call this? Cylinder. Looks like petrified wood over there.

Yeah. Don't you dare make a joke. Oh, I want so badly to. Neither of you. No, you can't. Sick. Don't. Here's what pisses me off i know that

jessica's somewhere she's not home but i know that she has like this cold steel pole that goes into the bottle and has a spout on top and then i would have the whole collection but i couldn't fucking find it right now and that shit pisses me off because i'm never you know we own a thing and i'm never gonna use that this was my one big moment to show it off in my podcast to my two friends. Yeah. And even we'd be the only person to see it. And we'd be like, okay,

no way. Your jaws would drop. And you say, Tim, I always knew you were really something special to me. And you're telling us that's cold. Neat. He says it's cold.

He said it's cold. Um, I'm going to already amend how I feel with this drink. I love it. Now that it's nine parts champagne to one part juice, I'm going to kick these back all night, no prob. Nine parts champagne. I don't know what that's called.

Do you want to know? But there's some variations on the mimosa. There's the Grand Mimosa, which features a teaspoon of Grand Marnier. The Poinsettia, which substitutes orange juice for cranberry. The Megamosa, which uses grapefruit juice in place of orange and is garnished with raspberries. That's what makes it a... Nope. That's just Megamosa.

I added the A. I like Megamosa. Megamosa would be a cool brunch place that does it like to the max. That's like the chain brunch place that's kind of low end. Megamosa. Yeah, and the Solil, which is pineapple juice and champagne. I went to brunch here in New York before quarantine, COVID, and everything happened. I guess the pandemic.

I have such a tough time with saying quarantine, COVID, and everything happened. I guess the pandemic. I have such a tough time with saying quarantine, COVID, pandemic. You're trying to cover all of it. Quarantine. The time I heard about quarantine, being quarantined. Anyway, we went to this place, and I'm not going to get the name right, but it is something like Luke's Pickle or something like that. but it is something it's something like luke's pickle or something like that and it was the fucking they had the biggest portions of everything like every breakfast sandwich every piece of french toast was made out of that like thick what's that texas toast yeah texas toast or brioche it was

like that and everything was so much portion there's so much crap on everything. And then it was also, they had like techno music playing at a loud level. And everyone would like be yelling over each other. And it was one of those places where everyone was crammed. Like you shared a bench seat and a bench table with a bunch of people. After a while, I was just like, this is fucking nuts in here. Remember when we played in Chicago?

Uh-huh. And we got in. Oh yeah, we went to that brunch early saturday morning and then just to get keyed into our airbnb we were like well there is a brunch place like down the street we could like grab something to eat we got there and the place was hopping we barely got a seat and we had like big bags with us which always sucks when you like go to go to a sit-down place and you have like big fucking yeah and then it was just like blasting trap music at like 10 30 in the morning and we were drinking mimosas yeah great i think that there's a lot of people that that is their weekly scene

is like that they roll out at a bed at like 1 p.m on a Sunday or and just start getting tanked man but the loud music is so funny you're just turning it into another club scene yeah like I the the loud music makes it like in the morning for me it's just like oof too much it's crazy I want to hate on the food of the brunch I live in a very brunchy neighborhood and I don't take part in it too much and I just am mad about the parking and all the cars and the, and the futz. But I will say as much as I don't think I'm ever excited about brunch food, like when I finally went to squirrel, you know, and had the ricotta toast, I was like, Oh my God, this is so good. And like the grain and I order, I'm like, Oh, which is the grain bowl.

Yeah. That'll be good. And it's so good. Tim, I was the same way with the musical Hamilton. I went in there and I was like, oh, everyone's talking about Hamilton. It was good. It was good. It wasn't good. It was great. I don't like anything. You don't like brunch or Hamilton?

Never seen Hamilton. Never had brunch. Watch it on Disney Plus. Hey, you know, you've seen the brunch special, though, on Portlandia with your boy, Mini Mike. Hey! I'm starring Mini Mike. Little Mini Mike was on the screen. Hi!

Doing a scene with Lorne Michaels. Lorne Michaels, it popped in. Hi, Lorne! We weren't in the same room at the same time, but editing made it happen. So you did the whole scene to a tennis ball and a string? No, I did the scene just to his desk. To his empty chair?

He did get to an empty chair. Or no, maybe somebody probably sat there. Then he got there and then I still stood in my spot, but didn't do my lines. I just looked at him. He's like, why do we do this with Hater? It's like, well, sir, he's very busy and he's on your show and doing something different.

Let's have this nervous little weirdo do it. Okay. Hey, Mike, what did you say was the, I want to try one of these variations on mimosa. And I think I have almost all the juices you mentioned, but what was the one with Grand Marnier? I think I have some. That is just what we're doing now

with a teaspoon of Grand Marnier. A float. Yeah. So it's OJ and then also Grand Marnier? It just says, which features a teaspoon. So I think it just adds to it. I'm going to do that. It's called a Grand Mimosa.

So let's look that up. Because Grand Marnier is like orange cognac. And maybe I'll give it a shot. Maybe I'll be a Grand Mimosa guy from now on. That'll be my whole personal. Could you do it right here on the pod today? Tim, do it now or forever hold your peace. I think I'm going to change my Instagram handle

to like GrandMimosaMan and on Twitter, you can find me at GrandMimosaGuy69. Because you're about to have your first one. Yeah. GrandMimosaMan. I'm really looking for an identity. Yeah, just do what you were doing, the way you like to make a

mimosa and then add a tablespoon of Grand Marnier. A plop on top. Man, I have such New Year's associations with champagne like I only ever have it on New Year's. Yeah. I remember several years ago, Mike, when we were at our cool, mature adult apartment and you were not in town for New Year's, I believe. Well, where was I? I don't know, but I uh you were not in town for new year's i believe well where was i i don't know

but i wish you were because we had just done a ucb new year's party oh and i had stayed up so late i think i i was djing and so were some other people but i i brought the equipment so i had to stay till the very fucking end yep i packed up all my shit and then up front people were like hey we're going to so-and-so's for like a little after party and i said great very cool i'm gonna go to that and i'm not gonna drive i'm gonna be responsible i'm gonna hop in an uber yeah so i go to this other party i don't stay very long because it's already late and then i finally get back to my place and i realized that i left my keys with the valet at ucb so it's new year's eve at about three in the morning four in the morning and i was carrying my fucking dj shit and i go i went up the back stairwell because it's the only door i could get into and i was in a suit and blazer and I slept on my back until, until six

in the morning when coffee being opened. And I just like miserably walked over and got a coffee. I remember that story. And waited for, and I waited for the valet at UCB sunset to open up. It was the worst beginning to any year. I was like, it's all downhill from here. I remember, I feel like that year was all pretty much that for you all the way through, right? Yeah, sleeping in weird spots. You never did get your key back.

Never got my keys. No, I do believe I was ringing in the new year with Fish, the band Fish at Madison Square Garden that year. Yes, Trey, of course. With his apartment keys in hand. Yeah. Hey, everybody, look what I've got.

Yeah. Go get back in tonight. You know what's a wacky brunch drink? Did I tell you guys about the bull shot that I made? Bull shot? B-U-L-L. Bull shot. Bull.

I was watching Caddyshack, and Rodney Dangerfield says, hey, can I have a bullshot? And I said, what's that? And I looked it up and it is vodka and beef broth. Oh. Oh, I've heard of that. It's like a Bloody Mary, but instead of tomato, beef bouillon. Oof. I would try that.

It sounds insane, but I- We should do that on the pod, dude. Yeah, I would try that. And a squeeze of lemon. I would try that. It sounds insane, but I... We should do that on the pod, dude. Yeah, I would try that. And a squeeze of lemon. We should try it. I did it, and... Guilty as charged. Hey, hey, hey, legal has to clear that. I cleared it. I got them right

here. Yeah. They say, it's all vetted. Have fun. To me, it didn't really... A squeeze of lemon helped, but the bullshot didn't really like turn into its own cocktail. It just felt like beef soup that then also had vodka in it. But I don't know what recipe I was using. So if we've tracked down a real good one, we should do it on the pod.

We got to fast track it. Next time we go off the list, let's do the bullshot. Listen to this. If anyone out there has a good bullshot recipe, let's go. I can't believe you guys are just ready to do that for me. I'm like, well, let me look through my leisure and we'll talk it over and I'll pray on it and see what the Lord tells me. Me, I'm like, oh man, I'll do it anytime. And then just, I hope you guys forget about it because I don't want to drink that.

You're sweating bullets. Shit. So a great new year this has become oh well hey look uh we've been talking a lot about the mimosa here but uh if you don't mind i wanted to just uh uh sidetrack us for a second with a little topic change is that cool if we go off i welcome it yeah that's fine by me actually tim oh thanks for signing off well i just wanted to't you, this pisses me off. Don't you guys hate it when you can't understand song lyrics? You hear a song. Oh, yeah.

I hate that. Oh, yeah. Crap. I didn't mean to upset you guys. Well, now you've done it. Well, now you've got to bring us back somehow. Did you, is you're okay with me continuing to talk about this? Yeah, I'm just freaking a little pissed off.

Anything to take my mind off the idea of not knowing song lyrics. Well, it really gets to me, especially, you know, I hear a song a lot. I say, what are they saying right there? And it'll drive me mad. Hey, Tim. Yeah. Can I interrupt you? Sure.

Mike's got a famous one. What do you got? Two, actually. Oh, I think we talked about these on the podcast, but go ahead. I don't think we did. I think we talked about it in the zoom room, but not on the podcast. Okay. Uh,

put a ring on it by Beyonce. Yeah. If you like it, yeah, you shoot a Buddha ring on it. Right. There were two that Mike misheard that I love. And one of them is a hand on my hips,

can on my lips. And I was like, can on my lips. And you were like, yeah, a beer can. Can on my lips. Like a beer can a beer can a can of my lips like a beer can a beer can you dork like beyonce's singing about drinking a bud light i thought it was like yeah she's just kind of having a relaxed doesn't have to impress anyone thing so i'm just drinking a can of beer

yeah we should have her on the pod if she has any booze news about the beers she likes. That would be great. And then same song. You thought it was tighter than my very own jeans. And what is, I always forget what it is. Her brand is like Darion or something. Very own. My very own jeans that I bought myself. You know, the lyrics go by so quick and you're moving around so quickly dancing. You can't listen to anything.

I've seen you when that song comes on and the one hand goes up and the other hand is on the hip. Hand on my lip, hand on my hip. Well, I think the most famous, some of the most famous Mr. Lyrics are Jimmy Hendrix.

Excuse me while I kiss this guy. Well, anyway, so here's the song. This is an artist look. This artist, I don't approve of them as a person anymore. But this song has always confused me, and I wanted to know what is being said here. I thought maybe my two friends could help me out. If we played it right now, give a good listen.

That'd be great. Here we go. Here we go. give a good listen. That'd be great. Here we go. What are you? King of Pop.

King of Pop, Michael Jackson, good music, bad man. I can't. It's gibberish. I don't know what mama. Mama say, mama say. Mama say. Maybe if we like listen, Jeff, was it possible to play it again?

But if you could enhance the track and then we could listen closely, maybe then. You have that type of hardware, right, Jeff? Yeah, sure. You just have to say in a really authoritative voice, enhance. Okay. Enhance. Michael say, Michael saw, a mimosa. Michael say, Michael saw, a mimosa. Michael say, Michael saw, a mimosa. Michael say Michael saw a mimosa. Michael say Michael saw a mimosa.

Michael say Michael saw a mimosa. Michael say Michael saw a mimosa. Interesting. I'm getting on that playthrough. Michael say Michael saw a mimosa. A mimosa. He kind of stresses a mimosa. So because it was enhanced so you could kind of get a mimosa. Kind of.

It was kind of there, yeah. Well, you know what would actually really help us, Jeff? What if you slowed down the tempo and then you isolated the vocal? That could help us. Yeah, sure. Do you have that type of hardware, Jeff? Let me just... Yeah, he's got it.

Yeah, when Jeff's looking at the... You know, he's doing all that fast computing. He doesn't even see the numbers. He just sees brunette, blonde's got it. Yeah, when Jeff's looking at the, you know, he's doing all that fast computing, he doesn't even see the numbers. He just sees brunette, blonde, redhead. Oh, good ref. Hey, I think I got it. Oh. Play it, dude.

And I'm going to listen closely. Yeah, me too. Michael said that he saw a mimosa. What the? Yeah, me too. Michael said that he saw a mimosa. What the heck? Michael said that he saw a mimosa. Michael said that he saw a mimosa. I purposely wanted to take a break from talking about mimosas. Oh, my God.

It's everywhere you go. It's permeated the culture. I wanted to change the topic for a second. Well, I'm sorry, Tim, that your evening is turning out this way. Well, this sucks. I've been thinking about this all week. Like, look, when I record with the boys, we're going to be probably too much talk about the cocktail. I should come up with something else to talk

about. It figures that it comes back to bite you in the ass. Well, that really, I hate how that shook out. Yeah. You know what's weird to me is that Michael is the one singing, right?

And he's saying Michael? Yeah. He's saying that he said that he saw a mimosa? Well, I'm hearing Michael do a lot of hee-hee-hees at the moment, so this could be

the background singers are the ones who are singing. Oh, that's interesting that's interesting that's interesting so it would make sense i think what's pretty clear is what happened is probably right before the session began they were in the studio probably michael had come from brunch and most likely the background singers asked michael what he had seen on the tables at brunch and And then Michael told him about a cocktail he'd seen probably. Yeah. Right. I'm thinking maybe one of the backup singers didn't understand

or it was like, I wasn't in the room. What did he say? And the other guy said, well, Michael say that he saw. Because why else would you phrase it that way? And then the engineer was like, the mic's actually picking that up and it sounds pretty good. Let me just tinker with something here. We could actually, let me see if we,

actually sounds pretty good in the song. And then the record executives were like, I think we could sell this. Yeah, of course the record is, oh, the record executives. Awful. All they care about is the green, green paper. They think music's a green, green money machine. It's like, this is our art. This is music's a green green money machine it's like

this is our art this is not a green green money machine yeah our music has is not a green green money machine at all our passion is not your green green money machine god well now that now i feel my ass is chapped let's take a break and i contend to my chapped ass over here yeah everyone put a little balm on your buns. Hey, folks, we're back talking mimosas and I think Tim has the grand mimosa up and rolling. I do. I made another mimosa. I

splashed the top with a little floater of Grand Marnier. Does he like it? Yeah. You know, remember at the defunct restaurant in Mexico City, we used to get the Cadillac margarita, had a little floater of Grand Marnier on top.

Oh yeah, I saw Kristen Stewart there. That's right. My plan, my grand plan, she was there with one of her friends. I was newly single and I had just started a Tinder and I was going to go up to them and be like, Hey, what do you think of my Tinder profile? Oh, that's a pretty good conversation starter. They look at it and they say, um, it's disgusting. The pictures are gross. Yeah, no shit. It's hideous. It's worse than you in real life. i'm actually glad i didn't do it because i mean i

figure that that she could just lacerate me yeah i saw jack mcbrayer there once and uh we had just i had just seen him at a party i think ocherman's holiday party i saw him there and i think i within a group it was talked to or whatever yeah and then when i saw mexico city i walked by and i go oh hey jack he's he goes wait i don't know who you are in the polite in the politest like yeah i i should know you because you're saying hello he's like who are you dude that's a cool move i like that just coming right out with it well hold on i don Well, hold on. I don't know who you are. I was like, oh, I guess we really didn't have much of a conversation after all. He gave me a really McBrayery line one time. I met him at a party out on a balcony and talked to him for a few minutes. And then I said,

okay, it was like a industry party. And then I said, all right, great meeting you. I'm going to go inside and network. And then he goes, oh, I do not like you. But like, he knew you were kidding, right? I hope. He knew I was kidding. And then also he was right

to not like a guy that I was pretending to be. This Grand Mimosa, I love Grand Marnier, so this would be something, but I should have just put less OJ to make room for it. You know, now I just have a double sweet orange on top of orange, a little, come on. I got to toast you for the Grand Mimosa.

Enough nonsense. Okay. What do we think of the mimosa well i like it i'll drink it when everyone at the table with me is having bottomless mimosas and it's a or it's a deal that goes along with the brunch but i just can't imagine opting for it over a bloody the most delicious, spicy treat of the morning. I am, I stated very clearly earlier on this podcast, this was not my favorite drink. I actually do not really like this drink. That said, if it's like Tim saying, if it's brunch time and it's mimosa time, it's like, we're all doing mimosas. Yeah. Hey, get in here. We're having,

we're having a great time. More better fun than you ever had. Yes. I will have the mimosa time. It's like, we're all doing mimosas. Yeah. Hey, get in here. We're having a great time. More fun than you ever had. Yes, I will have the mimosa. Yes. Do not not invite me to brunch. I will have your drink as long as you get me the drink. I will drink it. Well, I'll say this too. I think I like a Bloody Mary

better. Yeah. It's more fun. You get to put vegetables in it. You get to decorate it however you like. This thing doesn't even have ice cubes in it. That's true. It's more fun. You get to put vegetables in it. You get to decorate it however you like. This thing doesn't even have ice cubes in it. That's true. That's how low down this gets. I will say, we'll do Bloody Mary some other time, so I won't. But I'm surprised, Mike,

that you come right out and say you don't like this. I feel like this is one of the better tastes. I mean... Taste-wise. You gotta like, if you're, if you're taste, if you're tasting something,

there is a point where all of a sudden it goes into not liking it, right? That does happen. So, I, you know,

I like, on the scale of like and dislike, it's a dislike. It's a dislike? I get it. Yes. Because, you would think,

well, you gotta help me understand, but take this, what your friend's saying. Mike, you take a little break, Mike, I get it because you would think. Well, Tim, you got to help me understand. What's your friend saying? Mike, you take a little break. Mike, Jeff, let me explain this. There's no talking to this guy. He has no idea to understand. No, no, no, you too.

He doesn't understand the slide and scale. I explained it to him perfectly. Hey, look, you're friends. You're not going to ruin it all over this drink. Dutz, you and I are thinking Mike loves orange juice, so he'll probably love this orange juice cocktail. He loved the tequila sunrise. Calm down. Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, okay, yes, yes. But here's the thing. To Mike, this is a beautiful glass of orange juice spoiled. You know, we took a drink he loved and we debased it. And if you ever offer me one, I'm going gonna take this flute and shove it straight up there you're fucking all right all right all right all right

okay cooler heads cooler heads hey everyone take a sip of a bloody mary and cool down which i have already made right here for this very thing well Well, I guess, Tim, if you put it that way, I guess I can sort of understand where Mike's coming from. Thank you. So are you, Jeff, are you a yes, I'm ordering this again? Yes, I'm having a million of these. On your own accord? Yes. In your own Honda accord?

Yes. All right. Okay. I think we Honda Accord? Yes. All right. Okay. I think we've gotten off the rails. I would only choose a couple of drinks over this. If we're talking breakfast, this is number two. Yeah. There's just not much.

That's all I'm saying. Until we have the bullshot beef drink and you love it. Yeah, that's true. That's funny that that's a breakfast drink. Yow. There should be more brunch drinks. Everybody tweet at us and Instagram us and let us know what you drink for breakfast because I'm at a loss. I don't usually love coffee, Irish coffees, and I'm at a loss.

But I want especially savory drinks like a Bloody Mary. I got to say, like, a seltzer probably could work its way into a brunch. A hard seltzer? Yeah. That's right. Sure. Oh, I just remembered one. You guys know Salazar in Frogtown?

Fantastic brunch place. Ribbit, ribbit. Yeah. They've got, not only do they have a great michelada, they've got a green michelada where they used green peppers and cucumber and stuff, and it's a beer with a green tinge. It's very good. Because it's Frogtown? Because it's Frogtown.

Everything there, I guess, like the mayor said that you have to have, you know, the color of the food. If it's possible. Amphibian. Yeah, it's not a law, but he just, he went there and he's like, please, if you could throw me a bone. Have you guys heard of this movie, Hell Comes to Frogtown? No.

No. It came out the same year as they live and it also stars rowdy roddy piper and uh it's like a post-apocalyptic mad max thing and he's one of the few fertile men left and he's got to uh he's got to go rescue this like harem of women who've been captured by quote unquote frog town and it's like people they're mutants because it's the future and everything's all uh nuclearized but they're like basically ninja turtles costumes they're all there's these anthropomorphic frogs that's why it's called frog town in the movie but i don't know is it is it based on the place in la or what they would have to know i mean mean, LA is a film town. But like, that's a cool, fun movie.

I think it's on Amazon Prime. It's not nearly as good as They Live, but check it out. Oh, you want us to give all of our money straight to Bezos, don't you? No, no, Tim, it's not like that. Guys, I just made another Grand Mimosa with a lot less OJ and more Grand Marnier.

It's delicious. A brunch treat that can't be beat. Wait, Jeff, this hell comes to Frogtown as an 88. Yeah, man. Oh, I thought you said the same. Okay. It's the same year as they live. I don't think LA's Frogtown neighborhood was called Frogtown yet back then.

I think there actually was a thing where the river overflowed and there were frogs in the town and then that happened. Yikes. Oh, river runs through it. No, no, you didn't listen. Well, folks, you want to read some mail? Not folks, not folks. The folks don't get a say. Well, hosts. They probably said yes, though. My boys. You want to read some mail?

Yeah. I'd love to. Read the mail. Okay. This email's from Connor. Connor Bailey? I like... Oh, boy. Hey, slop jocks. Long-time listener, first-time Scrivener.

Okay. You've covered drinks that are featured in film and television, which got me thinking about fictional bars. If you could choose any fictional bar to get toasty in, what would it be? Thanks for the yucks, Connor in LA. Oh, this is good. It was Fezziwig's a bar. That was just his party, right?

That was just his party at his business. Okay. Nice try. Really? Old Fezziwig? Well, I don't know what his business was. Maybe it was a restaurant or a tavern or something. I like to think that it was. I'm trying to think of like what that would like a

bar version of that that I've seen in a movie. You wouldn't want to party it up at Cocktails and Dreams? Well, that would be fun. I get to see the guys from the movie. Oh, I have one. The strip club where Natalie Portman wears a pink wig in closer. You turned this into a perverted paradise. What? I'm horny. Oh, okay. I didn't realize that you were horny.

Hmm. I like a... Did you guys ever see Tree's Lounge directed by Steve Buscemi? No. Buscemi directs? Oh, Buscemi directs. This is way back. This is a pre-Sopranos directing because he directed some of those.

It's a good daytime bar. Well, hey, how about Moe's Tavern? Hey, that's fun. Hey, get to hang out with Homer. That's kind of a bummer place, though, I think. I think I could liven it up. I'd like to go to where Harry Potter and his friends got all that butterbeer. Oh, that's pretty good.

Wasn't that their school? I think in the town in Hogsmeade. Ooh. Wait, does butterbeer have alcohol in it? You know, I think it did. And because they're British, it's okay, right? Because they're like 17 or's okay, right? Because they're like 17 or whatever. That's a good question. I always thought maybe it has, or it

was like fake beer or something. Anyway, I'd rather go, I'd like to go to Hogsmeade, have some butter beers with Harry and the gang and splash mine in with a little extra whiskey. Daniel Radcliffe, come on the show. Come on the show and talk to us. Tell us where you guys drank and if it was legal. You know what would be a good place to drink? Is martinis bar from It's a Wonderful Life, but not in the happy version of Bedford Falls.

In the kind of evil biff version of Bedford Falls. When they're mean and they're like, hey look, I'm giving out angel wings. Kick this guy out of here. Oh, the Pottersville version. The Pottersville hard-nosed hangout.

That's where I want to go. You know, I would not like to have a drink at the Gremlins One bar. Yeah. You know, it's funny. Gremlins is a funny thing because they are murderers, but they're also pranksters. Yeah. So on the one hand, you're like, ah, yes, in the tradition of the old gremlin, they are tricksters. But one

of the tricks they pull is murder. Murder most foul. But the bar scene is one of the few things where it's just like, it does seem fun for a second before I'm back to scared. It goes on for quite a while. They're bar shenanigans. And it does have that Muppet quality where they just kind of like put the puppets up on the rafters and on the ceiling fan.

And it's like, wow, this place is fucking crazy. Ceiling fan's an easy one. It's like, just get his hands on there and turn that fan on. I'm going to watch that after we record this. I might watch that too. But you just remind me, speaking of creatures, how about drinking at the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine? That wretched hive of scum and villainy? Credo shot first. You guys are so snobbish. I think that if you had spent a long day getting power converters at the Tachi station, you'd like to sidle up to that bar and have a drink.
