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. 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 Michael Hanford. Deep dive, cannonball! Ugh.

And Timothy Kalpakis. What is up? Ooh, and we're your hosts of the third best comedy show this side of oh no that was last year's ranking i wonder i know we gotta milk it uh we gotta we gotta i bet this year's is gonna be um not reviewed yeah i bet so now mike you had a haircut last week and we made a big deal out of it yeah and this time you come on your you've got it all covered up in a hat? I had a hat on, yeah. Well, because I did the thing where I got out of the shower and I combed it back, and then it was doing a big pop-up thing, so I was like, I gotta

keep this down a little bit. Oh, you know, they're doing a hair pop-up over at the top of Hanford's head. Great. How are you guys feeling? I feel really good. Mike looks like Buck Henry when he wears his hat and glasses, but other than that, we're doing good. Who's Buck Henry?

He's a writer. He wrote the screenplay for The Graduate. Oh, of course. I've also got just like a button-up yellow shirt on. So I look just like a guy with a shirt and a hat on. But not the yellow shirt where you cut the epaulets off of it. No, no. The Dave Ferguson original.

No, this is probably a Land's End. Speaking of guys with shirts and hats and stuff, I saw a type of, I was driving today, I passed a 7-Eleven, and there was a nerd guy walking in the parking lot with just the most iconic nerd posture, nerd arms swinging, like Steve Urkel kind of

walk an adult guy middle-aged guy still a nerd you don't know wow i thought you were gonna say like look at it closer and it was and then say somebody we knew you know what i do think i know uh i have a theory but you bleep it because i don't want to insult this person. But I think it could have, it was maybe. Ah, yes, could be. I didn't know if he was back in town. I'm back in town. You got to light up his email and see where he's at. I'm working on a new bath problem.

New bath problem. You know where I went the other day is Runner's Circle. Oh, new shoes. Jeff getting into running in the new year i love that i just ran a 10k myself yeah well that's the thing is um i love the runner circle it's basically like you're talking to like a foot doctor who's helping you buy shoes like i'd rather talk to a spin doctor but yeah well you know don't let that stop you keep going that's a weird thing to say. I'm in the middle of my shoe story. Just laugh and continue. Just laugh appropriately.

It's very funny. The spin doctors were banned from 90s. Double back with laughter. Catch your breath and continue. With your story about the shoe store. Yeah, yeah. No, this is good. They measure the foot.

Then they measure your gait. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This guy says, hey, you kind of of like loop your you kind of wing your legs around you got to go straight forward and back and i said doc that's how i'm built this that's how i come from the factory you know and then uh they they give you shoes with like the wedge to um support your arch or lack thereof you know i have high arches but i got i got high arches. But I got low arches. Damn. I got golden arches. You know what? I knew that was coming.

I said I saw it coming. I did. Long story short, I'm out there running, pounding the pavement, baby. What did you end up getting, Jeff? I'm sort of doing my own Hanford Gets Healthy. Was it Asics? Was it Brooks? I ended up with Asics.

I did Brooks a while ago, many years ago, and those things were blown out, and I was still using them. Yeah, Brooks just don't sound like running shoes either in Brooks? I ended up with Asics. I did Brooks a while ago, many years ago, and those things were blown out, and I was still using them. Yeah, Brooks just don't sound like running shoes either. Brooks? Yeah, Brooks Brothers. Stop. Do you remember what style, Jeff? What Asics? No.

The 950s. No, they weren't a number. They were something weird. They got big bright colors on them. These are black and white. Oh, jeez. Sorry, they got big bright colors on them. These are black and white. Oh, geez. Sorry guys,

I'm striking out here. You know how you say, you kind of analyze your, your, your gate there when they're selling these shoes. I had a interesting experience there where they're like, oh, so you want some shoes?

Okay. Oh, you're a size 11. Okay. Why don't you get up and, you know, we'll take a walk around. And then I,

I stood up not thinking anything of it, went for little stroll around yeah and the guy goes his jaw drops oh my god and i'm like what is wait as it goes i said what is it he's like you have the finest gate we've seen here the perfect gate and i was like and he goes hey everyone all the other employees you know and they all gather around stop working with other, and they all gather around, stop working with other customers. And they all, oh, the Greek gate. Wow. Yep. The great Greek gate. This guy was like, came on a little strong as far as like, so you're training for a race?

You know, like that sort of talk. And I was like, Doc, I'm starting to run. I ran a mile for a podcast once. I'm looking for black shoes. That's all I need here. And then, you know, every shoe he gives me, he's like, you know, these you could run a marathon in. I was like, dude, I'm just starting to run. Yes, but it could be a marathon that you run in.

I ran a 10K this past weekend in the rain. It was raining out here. Yikes. And it was the Coco... What was it called? Coquito? Huh? Coquito?

No, we'll get to that soon, though, I hope. If we don't run out of time. If there's time for it after this 10K story. Yeah, this is a long one. It's a... Well, kilometer one was rather fun. Kilometer two was a to-do. Kilometer two, I lost my shoe.

Kilometer three, I had to pee. Kilometer four, I peed some more. Whoa! You can't drink too much water out there. Anyway, ran the 10K. It was called the Coco Classic. It was in Prospect Park. You run the 10K, and then at the end,

they say, you know, you have some cocoa, some hot cocoa waiting. Nice. So I got to the end. Yes, that does sound nice, right? Especially on a day where it's so cold and rainy. I get there, and I was not a straggler in this race. I finished in, like, less than an hour. And I got up to the cocoa area, and I said, oh, I'll have my cup of cocoa now.

And they said, sorry, we're out. Out. Out? Cocoa. They ran out. They had like a bunch of people must have been double dipping or something. The namesake of the whole race. Yeah.

Your whole reason for being there, basically. And on a day or two where there probably weren't like, I bet a lot of people dropped out because it was raining. They're like, oh, I'm not going to run that today. Pissed me off. Did they even give you any leftover marshmallows? No, they didn't give me anything. They gave me a plain bagel. And then I get to the t-shirt area because I want to pick up my t-shirt.

I say, yeah, yeah, I had me down for a men's medium. We're out of those. Okay, then I have the men's large. What do you have? What do you have here? We'll give you another bagel. Oh, you got 6.2 miles. I just took care of those for you. I took care of those.

Yeah, when you needed someone to run those 10 kilometers, I was there for you. I was there for you. But now you don't have the cocoa. Start the next segment of this show. I'm getting too flustered. All right. Folks, let's do some Booze News. Tim?

Booze News! Hit it! B-O-O-Z-E-N-A-W-S-U-C Spell it for me, spell it for me, spell it for me, spell it for me, spell it for me, spell it for me, spell it for me, spell it for me. S-P-E-L-L-T-E-F-O-R-N-E-S-T-E-L-L-T-E-F-O-R-N-E-S-T-E-L-L-T-E-F-O-R-N-E-S-T-E-L-L-T-E-F-O-R-N-E-S-T-E-L-L-T-E-F-O-R-N-E-S-T-E-L-L-T-E-F-O-R-N-E-S-T-E-L-L-T-E-F-O-R-N-E-S-T-E-L-L-T-E-F-O-R-N-E-S-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L-T-E-L- I don't like it. spell it for me was sent to us by pecan be brosen and if you can't be brosen p as in piss p can be as in b movie made by jerry seinfeld and Broson as in the name Broson. And if you have a Booze News theme, email to sloppyboyspodcasts at gmail.com. Jeff, you said you didn't like spelling in songs. You did a whole Duttons Demolition segment about it.

And here's Pecan Broson sending you a Booze News theme where he spells? You got trolled. He's trolling. Pecan, I don't like it. I don't like it. It's poor songwriting, Pecan. Good production,lling you. I don't like it. I don't like it. It's poor songwriting, Pecan. Good production, though. I like the sound of it.

Damn. Well, I thought it was funny that he spelled spell it for me. Yeah, that's funny. That's a good joke. Also nice and tight. You're funny. You get in, you get out. That's the way to do it. That's the way to do it. What was his, what was his, it's Booze News. What was his like final thing there?

He spelled freaks. Ah, E-A-K-A-K-A-K. Okay. A-K-A-K. Okay. Booze News. I've been waiting on this one because I wanted to see if it developed. Michael, you're a white Lotus viewer.

Yes. Yes, I am. And I'm caught up. Jeff, you're a white. You're not a white Lotus viewer. Yes i am and i'm caught up um jeff you're a white you're not a white lotus viewer yes i abstain okay well i want to say mike i was looking at the booze in the show and um so for anyone that doesn't watch the show as of the airing of this pod this this show has just wrapped up the spectacular second season. And they're in Sicily.

So there's some wine and Aubrey Plaza gets drunk when she's kind of suspicious. She drinks wine. But there was use of, did you notice, Michael, some very good looking Aperol spritzes in the show? In episodes maybe like two and three, of early on big old wine glasses big old wine glasses and that orangey pink hue that we all know and love um but i want to add i haven't talked to anybody about this but did the meaning what did you think when you see those spritzes did you think one way or the other about like the choice to use that mike white's what he was doing there well i i saw it as like the the

couple who i noticed it with the couple that uh aubrey plaza and her husband are paired with and i saw them as like uh just very trendy people and especially just knowing that it was trendy like last summer it was just funny to me that it was like oh they're they're trendy and like whatever like this is what their go-to probably is. That's exactly how I took it. And that's what I was going to say is that it was fun. Even since we've been doing this pod, I think when we started this show, we were like, we knew that Aperol Spritz has had a giant moment in 2019. But then, you know, it stayed like a hip drink for a while and i thought it was interesting that we're finally as far as a prestige cable drama is concerned um i felt that way too we were seeing spritzes on a

table first you just see them but then in another episode cameron is like another round of spritzes and i do think it's being used as um rich people bougie but a little bit out of date like these people are they're cool enough that they go to a luxury hotel and then they're dressed cool and stuff but they're not actually cool cool right so their thing would be the cool thing from a few years ago and their whole thing that couple's whole thing was like oh we don't read the news anymore it's like too much yeah so they probably like fell off at 2019 or something totally and like it had to make its way to them i also love in that scene too how like we think where they're dumb when they say that and aubrey plaza and her husband are like oh boy we're the smart ones here

but then later you're kind of like the smart people are kind of grumpy and miserable and they're like they're probably talking shit at us and then you the cuts to the dumb people are kind of grumpy and miserable and they're like, they're probably talking shit at us. And then you, the cuts to the dumb people and they're happy and having a blast. They are like blissfully ignorant with their money and just like, Hey, whatever life's dumb, man. You got, you got to factor in though,

that there's the time, the production time when you write something like the Aperol spritz, they're not banking on, Oh, I mean, I guess they are banking on like eight months are going to pass. Well, it's still going to be the,

when did they write that? This would have been like, they shot or when they shoot months are going to pass. Well, it's still going to be the, when did they write that? This would have been like, they shot or when they shoot this year, it was a long, they were shooting from like February to July of this year. And then they turned it around really fast. So I'm guessing if the first season aired in the summer of 2021, then got renewed.

Then Mike white probably wrote it this time last year. He's still, he's like, it's like a one man thing. It's pretty yeah you know like you just gotta you gotta remember that innovation happens on the fringe you know and then it goes mainstream so it's basically like dualipa then us then stanley tucci and then finally when it hits white lotus you know it's dead oh oh the with the aberral sprit yeah yeah but yeah in this case jay like white lotus you know it's dead oh oh the with the aberral sprit yeah yeah but yeah in this case jay like white lotus is cool as shit and they know like as cool as us tim um i give him credit i

give my way credit to be that the characters are uncool yeah and and i would say um when i first saw them drinking the spritzes i i thought of it as an art department choice but then when cameron actually says, can we get a round of spritzes? Yeah. Like you're like, oh, this is,

it's written. They stepped on it. Yeah. I like that. But see, so what's the move if you want to be the coolest drink, you can't even do a trend. You have to write to the,

like the specificity of the character, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or you choose if you're very cool, maybe you choose something so timeless. Yeah.

That's brave. Or if you have, you know, if you write Bond into your TV, James Bond into your TV show or movie, you know what he's getting. It's done. It's easy. You don't even have to have a conversation

with the art department. They know. Yeah, do you mean? They should know. Are you talking about James Bond? Or Barry Bonds? James. Barry Bond would do creatine powder.

Steroid cocktail. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Injected in the butt. All right. Is that it for Booze News? No, I got something. So, you know, as we're getting to the end of the year here, people's favorite songs are coming out on the podcast.

On the blowout today, we talk about our Spotify raps and talk about what we listened to this past year. Well, this song has come up a few times on this podcast. Stephen Lacey's song, Bad Habit. Yeah. Tim loves it. Jeff can't stand it. Says it doesn't deserve to be on the radio.

Jeff can't stand it. He doesn't like the melody of the verses. Of the verse. Tim, I wouldn't go as far as saying Tim loves it, but I would say that Tim is really happy that there's one of these chill bedroom pop lo-fi songs at the top of the Billboard charts. You hold a candle for it, I'd say.

I'd say that Steve Lacey is cool and I respect him. Cool. I'll tell you what. You know what broke my heart? I saw the internet on a video on my phone his the band that he is in playing a deep cut from jamiroquai mr moon off return of the space cowboy and i said god damn this band is crushing this fucking deep cut jamiroquai song and then who's there on guitar steve lacy and you're you have a problem with that yeah because

he's got no i i like that i mean you know i had to give it up for that but just the the the fucking verse where he's like i hate that that part of the verse sucks i hate it do you oh wait what what is he saying there he's like my dear that's great. Oh, I get why you don't like it, because it's like, it's not too far, his performance there, it's like emo-y, and it is very like Kid LAROI, if you don't, if you're not also charmed by the lo-fi production,

it is doing this kind of modern. I'll say that part of the song has the thing where it's like, you my dear, like he's really hitting the R, and it's one of those things that you hear in pop music every so often that's like, oh, he's doing the wrong thing. People don't, you don't hear your R that hard, but it sticks out. And that's what makes it, like, memorable. I guess that's better than hearing, like, you broke my heart for the millionth time.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, he's, it's just, he's making a choice there. Anyway, so I, you guys are sort of back and forth. I listen to this song. I said, I got to listen to this song and see

what's happening with it. And I listen, and I was enjoying it. So when you walk down to the library, you take out the vinyl, you go to a listening booth. Yeah, I got my,

I bring my big headphones. I go, yeah. The sound quality in there is fantastic. Anyway, I put it on and i'm listening to it and i was like there's something weird at the end of the song and i liked the song and then it's like after the you know after the there's like a breakdown part where he's the music kind of fades out and he's they're just just his vocal and he's talking about, it's biscuits, it's gravy. Well, so I heard this.

He has sort of a finicky stomach. He's got lactose issues. So biscuits and gravy make him a little gassy. Oh. And right after that, if you listen to the snare track, it is supposed to represent his farts. Now, we can listen to- This represents him? Because I've listened to the snare track, but I've never represent his farts. Now we can listen to... It represents them? Because I've listened to the snare track,

but I've never really thought about what it represents. Listen to it. You hear two quick farts, then another one, and then a long one. So I have that. We'll pick it up right as the sort of breakdown is done and we get back into the instrumental. And remember, he's got an interesting stomach that

he gets gassy a lot. Sure. Yeah. Okay. Nice voice. Yeah. Here we go. Here come the two right here.

Right here. Yeah. Another one. And here's a long one. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Wow.

It's a lot. I never noticed that. Yeah. It's a lot I never noticed that And again you can cut it here It goes on like this Yeah You know I was happy that you reminded us Right before I played To keep in mind that he's lactose intolerant

Right Right So and I can't Because you heard that You heard that Uh huh I read it In a medical journal.

But I can't listen to that song now without thinking, oh, this is just farts. Oh, it's ruined for you. But, you know, they say genius takes a medium and rethinks it. And he certainly did that with his snare track. It's funny that the snares represent his farts. But then he did seem to either play the snare with his farts or just mic his farts. I think he sat on the drum and farted.

I think he played the snare with his farts. I think he had it right there. I think. I'm not sure. But it's really a... Yeah. Well, this is great because it's all kind of a big commercial for our Patreon because on The Blowout,

we dissect music like this. Yeah, we talk like this on The Blowout. You can hear these insights all the time. It's so cool. It's really awesome. Anyway, so I like the song, but when it got to that, I said I got to rethink this guy as an artist. And I hope to see what he has for his sophomore effort.

I think he's doing some P stuff. Piano? Not unlike pee can be frozen. Is that it for Booze News? Jeff, get us the hell out of here. Yes, okay. That's it for Booze News. Wow.

Ooh. I can't wait to hear about the drink of the day. Oh, you're talking about the Coquito, a.k.a. the little coconut you've heard? Yes. No. Mike, you've heard. Just on the spot. Where have you heard?

Oh, okay. No. Right. I forgot we made that. No, I never heard nor heard. Had. Hmm. Well, I hadn't heard until a couple years ago when I and I had saw some blog posts and

then I saw it on Instagram and stuff. But this is a longstanding thing. This is Puerto Rico's Christmas drink, oftentimes referred to as Puerto Rico, Puerto Rican eggnog, which is, you know, it doesn't have any egg in it. So it's not eggnog. It's coconutty. But here's what you do is if, you know, let's say you're a Puerto Rican grandma will sort of make a big batch of this stuff and will bottle it up, pour it into glass bottles, put it in the fridge. And then throughout the month of December, sort of being like, hey, here's a bottle of Coquito. I'm giving this to you as a gift.

And people take it out and you you pour it into little glasses. I'm giving this to you as a gift and people take it out and you, you pour it into little glasses. I usually online, I'm seeing a lot of like just a small, like a juice glass, but then, uh, it also says,

you know, even a little shot glass. Ooh. So you batch it for your loved ones. You batch it, batch it, which is great for me because I'm a batch batch. Um,

and I'm bad shit crazy, but it kind of came out like mid 20th century it first popped up in a cookbook and um yeah it's big in puerto rico i feel like i haven't seen it here until very recently and then my friend hunter toro is from florida and her her family's from puerto rico and i saw that she last christmas was like making it and drinking it so i was like what is this stuff and she's like that's coquito and i said aha you thought you'd keep it from me um and we wanted to try this shit and i found us a nice layup of a recipe from i went straight to the uh the source on this one discover puerto rico.com it's a nice recipe. And here's what I like about this drink. You think of Puerto Rico, you think of island paradise. You might be thinking of fresh coconuts or something like that, but it's an island, is it not? It is.

And lots of times on islands, you are relying on canned stuff, do you not? You do. You've been to Hawaii, do they not eat spam? They have. They do? You do. You've been to Hawaii. Do they not eat spam? They have. They do. They do. So this is very, it's a very kind of mid-20th century recipe that's like cans of stuff that you could get your mitts on and feels like it would, you know, the type of stuff that could have been passed around the the caribbean because there's lots of other similar drinks at similar islands but um here is the traditional coquito recipe that i'm going to be talking about one can of condensed milk oh rich um now it these it just

says like one can but there's the when you'll see it you'll know when you see it. It's like a 14-ounce can. It's like a little can. When I went to shop for this, the condensed milk was in like one size for every brand. And was it Carnation or Nestle? I think Nestle. I tasted this stuff for the first time, and I was like, oh, this is that taste that's in so many desserts. But I didn't know what it was. And then one can evaporated milk.

It was impossible. This shit's weird. I never tried that either. Just like a can of milk. Yeah. It's powder. It's wet. It's wet.

Mine's wet. It's evaporated. It's rehydrated in the can. It should be vapor. It should be. Mike, was yours wet? Oh yeah. Yeah. It should be vapor. It should be. Mike, was yours wet? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. One can. Here we go. Cream of coconut. And now, on this pod, we've done cream of coconut before, and I can only find a bottle of that real brand coconut. But central to this recipe is in Puerto Rico, they love Coco Lopez.

I found it at a specialized liquor store. Mike, did you find Coco Lopez? Yeah, I got it. And it wasn't that specialized. It was just at the grocery store. That's the key because there's coconut cream and there's cream of coconut. And I remember I made a bad pina colada because I got the wrong thing. Pina colada, you're going to want the weird plastic squeeze.

What did you call it, Tim? Coco. I think it was real maybe. Coco Real or something but you know with these recipes being brand specific is a good idea so tim i'm glad you got the real shit coco lopez is great i've had this shit on vacation and it's and it's fucking good and uh they're proud of it so see if you can find it and it's not that obscure um and and so the difference jeff is it's like that stuff you bought by accident one time that was very weird was you got a can

of like thai coconut milk that was like unsweetened whereas this is like a sugary treat that's meant for this type of shit um yum i got a question about mine but i'll get to it in a sec half a cup of white rum oh preferably don q but if you can't find don q bacardi i couldn't find don q my friend hunter said don q i couldn't find it i got bacardi great i got bacardi too i love bacardi bacardi white come on classic you'll notice well i'll come back to this later, what you will notice. Half teaspoon of vanilla extract, one teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Add more to taste if you like.

And here's what you do. In a blender, add evaporated milk, cream of coconut, sweetened condensed milk, rum, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

Blend on high until mixture is well combined for one to two minutes. Transfer into glass bottles and chill in the refrigerator until cold. To serve, pour Coquito into small serving glasses, almost like a shot portion, and garnish with ground cinnamon or cinnamon stick.

Were we supposed to put the cinnamon in the mix? Because we already mixed these ourselves, so they're chilling. Right. Yes, we broke from our format a little bit to make these prepared so that we could put them in the fridge and chill them down. Wait, I didn't put cinnamon in the mix. You were supposed to put one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and then later you're going to garnish with.

Oh, my. Yep. That's a disaster well you can put it give it a good shake or something just double up the cinnamon you'll be fine i'll just i'll just um my observation about this drink is that especially since they say a small serving glass almost like a shot portion yeah um this is very weak booze wise we put yeah half a cup of rum is only four ounces of rum so that's like two cocktails worth of rum in this giant this filled my blender to the top great and then you split it up and batched some yeah split it up and we're gonna drink like one ounce pours of it so i do think that it's gonna be weak but maybe that's the way they do maybe you're sitting around with your family and you just want to drink like one ounce pours of it. So I do think that it's going to be weak,

but maybe that's the way they do. Maybe you're sitting around with your family and you just want to get a little aperitivo. And that's probably helpful for our daytime record we're doing right now. Yeah, it's earlier than usual and I don't want to get tanked. Well, I wonder too if,

I wonder if I'm going to be able to even taste the rum in this thing. Because I think it's going to have some strong other. Right. And there's, it's got that vanilla extract, which tends to take away, like it's similar to a rum flavor, but stronger.

So, so my question was when I had my, uh, cream of coconut, I opened up the can and it was like, like hard on top. And I used a fork to like poke it through. And then all this coconut liquid came out.

So it was, it was definitely like separated in the can or something. Yes. But it didn't seem like even a good shaking would get it done. I had the same experience as you, Mike. And then I remember one time opening a can and it was just like delicious and blended in there. I took a sip right from the can. So maybe on that day it was very hot or something.

Is it like a time of year thing? Because sometimes I have coconut, what's it called? Coconut oil. Yeah. And then during the winter, it's firm and flaky. And during the summer, it's just goop. This is exactly the scenario. So it's probably like room temperature is like 72 degrees.

But then if it's like 73 degrees, it's a liquid. Finicky. I'm excited for this. I love coconut stuff. And I love pina coladas, but I think that I like the coconut aspect. It's my favorite Christmas aspect. Nice. I love it.

So let's check out the sentiment. Great. All right, folks. We're going to go fetch those Coquitos, and we'll be back here in a minute. Until then, enjoy the ads. And we're back. Coquitos in hand. Check this little guy out boosh yeah jeff you forgot to mention that a little christmas elf brought you some coquito this morning huh oh yes yes uh one of my loved ones batched it for me i batched it up last night and then i did the old los velas swap

um ran it over in a little jar. I didn't have a little glass bottle. I swear I have a little glass bottle somewhere. Couldn't find it. No, no. You gave me a nice little ball jar filled with it. Ball jar? Ball jar.

Ball jar. The brand. Yeah, yeah. And you know what? It smells great. It smells like batter. It very much reminds me of the Tom and Jerry so far. I'm mainly getting cinnamon. And you know what? It smells great. It smells like batter. This very much reminds me of the Tom and Jerry so far.

I'm mainly getting cinnamon. It's giving cinnamon. The secret ingredient? Cinnamon. Yeah. But it smells like I'm at the airport walking past a Cinnabon. Sips? Sips. Oh, man. Incredible. Oh, my God. Oh, man. Holy shit. oh man incredible oh my god oh man holy shit this is great this is crazy it's too good to be true

i can't believe it what's the catch it is i mean the catch is that you're drinking just like all this like it's just different kinds of dairy and sugar all thrown i'm just drinking like batter it looks like but i mean it's it's batter thick like pancake batter it's fucking delicious it's so sweet it's hurting my mouth but it's so good oh that's good that must be why they have it on the rocks or even blend it with that must be why they give it to you and like they want you to have like little glasses. Yeah. Because a whole, like a pint glass of this would be too much. Look, we all had tiny, not shot glasses, but we all had the appropriate tiny little weirdies. I use this all the time. I got a creme brulee from a...

Cream brule. A cream brule from a takeout. And they gave it to me in a small glass guy. So it's about, it's like an old fashion glass but half the height and i use it all the time for like fancy little whiskeys and stuff and i'll see these in the wild it's good it's good i was afraid that the cinnamon would dominate the flavor it only dominates the smell the flavor i am getting a little rum somehow i am getting a lot of vanilla.

But you know what's a nice surprise? I knew I was going to love the Coco Lopez, but the sweetened condensed milk is giving this like a flan-like taste. Yeah, yeah. I'm not like the biggest coconut fan, but the amount of stuff in here that's like countering the coconut is perfect. Yeah. Yeah. Perfect. Oh, it's perfect.'s perfect man damn this is very good i don't know here's the thing yeah i even got a nice little

cinnamon stick i'm feeling very festive but here's the thing folks come on i want like a a triple rum version of this like yes i want to add this to like to a shot and a half of rum. I agree. Triple is actually a good number if you triple whatever was in this. This would be a candidate for something to add a little nip of fireball to. Yes, Michael! But keeping the rum.

It wouldn't replace the rum with the fireball. That would be too much. Too much taste. I went out last night with a groupball. That would be too much. We mustn't forget. Too much taste. Too much taste. You know, I went out last night. I was with a group of friends. We went to this holiday light walk. If you live in the Brooklyn area, go to the Botanic Garden. The light walk is really cool.

You're talking to me like I didn't go to Descanso Gardens here in L.A. on Friday night. I saw your wonderful wife's post. And Tim. How dare you look at her post? I look at that. Well, should we follow each other on Instagram? I thought you knew about that. I'm looking at this post and it was the lights and the sounds.

It's a LSD heads paradise. Did you do acid at the botanical? Yeah, they served it in cups. We drank it. Wait a second. This LSD is dosed. And he drank it. Yeah, yeah. Hey, wait a second. This LSD is dosed.

No, one thing we did do, though, we brought in a thermos of, I was with Haskell. Oh, and I did my little trick. You put the fireball nip in your hand and say, hey, happy holidays. I shook his hand and he had one of his hands. And then his wife went in for a hug. I was like, no, no, shake my hand. No, no, I have a weird joke. This will all make sense in time.

His wife Rosa brought some thermoses of hot cider, and we put the fireball in that. Yeah, great. Oh, my God, it was great. And I think she had already spiked it with a little bit of something, but the fireball added. Oh, great time. When I was doing a walk around at the Descanso Gardens,

I had a spiked apple cider. It spiked with bourbon. It was delicious. Then they had hot chocolate that they were spiking with Frangelico, which is delicious, but it's also sweet. So you're having kind of a sweet bomb. Frangelico. While I was walking around Descanso Gardens looking at the lights,

it was raining, so it really made it. Usually those lights are kind of creating a vibe, but when it's raining, you're like in a vibe, you know? Yeah. And I survived the vibe shift. So wait, you just have an umbrella? You're walking around outside? Yeah, they emailed us and were like,

it's a rain or shine ticket, so you better come. So I just kind of walked around and got pummeled with rain. I didn't buy an umbrella until the next morning. Sounds like me on my latest 10K run. Yeah. Okay. Yep. Now, I haven't been to Descanso Gardens, Tim.

Jeff, you'd love it. But I have been to Huntington with my main man, Handstand, the hand man. I took you to the effort. Oh, you shot a took you to oh you shot a famous video there we shot a famous video there we were removed tim did you know that yeah on the last shot removed wait the martini shot yeah yeah it was like good great we're done anyway good perfect that's a wrap we made our day uh we were being sneaky and you were wearing a lav. Do you remember that? Yeah. And then I had the little transmitter on top of a still camera. Because that's the move

folks. You don't get a camera that looks like a video camera and you definitely don't have anything with sound or that screams sound. You want it to make it look like you're just taking photos of a daisy. Oh, a posy.

I'm just taking a photo of my friend who's talking to a still camera. Yeah, yeah, that's all it is. And they said, wait a minute. You guys are making funny jokes. Get out of here. You're being funny. How did it go down? It's so funny.

Getting kicked out of someplace when you're young happens all the time. Getting kicked out of a place when you're young happens all the time getting kicked out of yourself a place when you're like drunk or causing trouble it happens when you're young but you guys this was broad daylight you're 30 years old and you got the boot how do they say it what they do i think they just kind of somebody came up with a suit coat on it was like uh you can't take video here we We're like, oh, okay. It wasn't that you were removed, it was that you weren't allowed to shoot, so you removed yourselves. Right, because we were done, actually.

Yeah, until the fisticuffs. And then they tried out their biggest dude. And he was like, you two get over here. Here's our biggest dude. And I said, I can't handle this guy. I'm going home. Jeff said, no, we must right this wrong. And Jeff, you should have seen Jeff, man. He was, you've seen that show?

You've seen that, the Hulk? Yeah, you've seen the Hulk? Attorney at Law? In the Avenger movies? Oh my God, it was like that. I've seen, when Jeff gets in a fight, it's like one of those fights that's like in a cartoon where it's just a cloud,

and then you see like a head pop out here and a foot pop out there, which is really a cloud. Oh, and we should say the video that we shot there was uh seven dirty words you can't say on tv very funny video yeah we'll post it yeah post it why not get some views huh speaking of fights with big dudes jeff you were not there a few weeks ago when i was yelling at a guy right at a bar remember i had a little altercation with him? I heard about this. Where, what bar? The Fable.

Oh no, I must've just left. You were there that night. You really shot the Fablemans? Yep. Yeah. This guy came in, he was doing press for the Fablemans. Yeah, older guy, beard, hat, glasses.

Answer to the name E's creator um when you say they brought out their biggest guy i pulled a move i don't i i'm not gonna fight anybody i'm not i'm not a fighter or a lover i'm a podcaster um we were at little mookies be birthday little mookie b's birthday party and then like at the end of the night after duddy was in slumberland, a guy, you know, the look of a guy who's just like, I'm walking into a bar to fight, you know, I probably like struck out with all the women in LA and here I'm in fight mode. Yeah. This guy kind of came in, like he couldn't even form words. He was so drunk and he was like looking to, uh, just a fight man, you would call him. Yeah, sure.

A fighter. But I knew I didn't want to get in a fight, but I also didn't want to like let this guy have his way. So I pointed, I tapped my friends on the shoulders. It's also funny because it's not like I'm a small guy, but I tapped Carl Tartt and Mitch and Alan McLeod, none of which would probably fight on my behalf, but they're tall. but I tapped Carl Tart and Mitch and Alan McLeod, none of which would probably fight on my behalf,

but they're tall. I tapped them all, and then I walk over to the guy, and I go, you see these guys? These are my friends. They're going to kick your ass. And it kind of worked. The bartender yelled at us to break it up, and then he left.

But then he was standing out front with his phone out, like he was calling people to come kill mitch and carl and oh wow so it was like the bartender could tell it was a uh an altercation this guy had already tried to pick a fight with a different with a stranger and then he kind of came over to carl and then he came over it was like he was bump he was bumping into people and yeah we don't fucking touch me what was yeah what was he saying to to and being like, well, don't fucking touch me. Yeah, what was he saying to want to fight? Well, actually, he honestly couldn't talk. He was out of his mind drunk. Well, that's too bad.

That is too bad. On that somber note, do you guys want to make a round two? Yep. What are you going to do? I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to take what I'm going to take what, I'm going to splash, I'm going to put it on the rocks with a shot of rum and bring it up to cocktail level. Me too.

I'm going to try something here. Let me just see what I got. Actually, you know what? I have fireball. I'm going to do that thing. Ooh, nice. Yeah, I'm going to do that. All right, folks.

We'll be right back after this. And we're back with round two of Coquitos. Let's see them. Here they go. I did a little something different here. I added a half ounce of Southern Comfort to this. Ooh. Good choice, Michael.

My fireball, I noticed, was the 30 proof version, not the 66.6. It was a gas station fireball. Yeah, so. It's going to give you the taste, though, I think. Yeah, but it's just more volume that I wanted for the proof. Sweet. This Southern Comfort... Ain't bad. I ain't complaining.

The Southern Comfort didn't do too much. I taste a little bit more of it. I probably could have done more of Southern Comfort to actually get that taste to come through. A real kick. SoCo. Now, Tim, you're who I want to hear from how's it with the bacardi and ice this is it this is perfect this is the best drink ever because here's the

thing soco and fireball both have sugar of their own you know i just put i i did half a little cup of coquito um on the rocks and then i put it almost i put as much rum as i had top up and then i stirred important i'm using my cinnamon stick oh top up with rum make a rum cocktail then top up with rum um i'm using my cinnamon stick as a stir and here's what's really happening guys it's making it we're losing that thickness we so loved but it's worth the trade to make this just a delicious cold a little bit diluted yeah and rummy just make sure it's really cold to begin with maybe you don't need those ice cubes yeah but i'm kind of liking it watering it down it's pretty fucking good this is better

this is better than eggnog. Yeah. Oh, dude, for sure. For sure better than eggnog. Eggnog is like a few sips and you gotta go barf somewhere. This is... I almost bought some eggnog today. Some of that Pennsylvania Dutch because it's starting to hit stores. I saw it at Albert's. And I said, Jeffy, remember what happened last year? You had

two sips and then you threw away a bottle. Well, I made that blunder myself, but I shake that stuff up to... The high heaven. Yeah. But I think it's the same thing with... I'll buy eggnog and then just put a shitload of cognac or rum in it, or bourbon. It's just nobody wants things to be too sweet.

You know what I... Hey, here's... You said the magic word, Tim. Cognac. You know what i've been doing i call it a hennessy and lemon just because i like the sound of it but it's not actually it's a little different than that a henny lamb lenny ham i was making hennessy old fashions love it which are delectable and then i was like you know what i don't know i don't know if i need all that

cherry so what i was doing was big ice cube little dram of simple syrup orange bitters and then your um your henny and then just the twist no no lemon juice just get that oil everywhere and my god i was watching i it wasn't sopropranos because I finished Sopranos. What could I have been watching? I don't know. But damn near went through four of them. Oh, Jefferson. Yeesh. You know what?

I might present that on the pod someday. Yes, and you know what's good by expressing those lemons, the zest, the twist. It's effervescent. You're getting the oils on your hand. It's a sensory experience and you take it with you all night. It's magical. Oh, you you take it with you all night. It's magical. Oh, you know what would be good in this? Instead of the SoCo, I'm seeing it now behind the SoCo on my cocktail rack.

The Grand Marnier. Yeah, Grand Marnier. The Cognac and Orange, yeah. Or Triple Sec. Oh, yeah. Orange might be fun in this. Oh, I like that. Orange and vanilla and coconut especially the grand marnier that sounds great yeah yeah triple sec might be a little too lifesavers

yeah but grand marnier is like triple second and hennessy at the same time triple second it's like triple sec on steroids stop okay this might be I'm going to be making for family holiday. Of course. And they're going to say, is this eggnog? And you'll say, no. Just drink the fucking thing. They're like, is this a Tom and Jerry? Fuck you, asshole.

You're going to say, no. No. No. And where are my gifts? Damn. That's good. All right. Are we ready for our my gifts? Damn. That's good. All right. Are we ready for our final thoughts?

Stone Cold Classic. Order again. Wow. And no appointment necessary. Better than eggnog. I would say the appointment is the holiday season. That's true. But this is a classic.

Stone Cold? Yes. Look, Tim. Question for you, though. Yeah, sure, it's creamy. I might be allergic to it. Look, Tim, sure, it's creamy and dairy-based. But your rummed-up one over there, how different is that really from a pina colada?

Could you have this in the summer, or are you going to feel like a fool? I've got school. I've got school. I would maybe skip the cinnamon in the summer. I don't know. That's what is making it feel holly jolly. Well, the sun is already spicy. You don't need the spice from the cinnamon.

Exactly. But yeah, rum and cocoa on the rocks in the hot summer. Oh, Timmy's happy. All right, folks. Yeah, it's a stone cold stunner all around. A stone cold classic. Order again. Try it immediately.

Not since the Trinidad Sour have I been so pleasantly surprised. Yeah. Wow. What about the Yule Mule? Yeah. What about the Yule Mule? Yeah, what about the Yule Mule? The Mule Mule. The Mule Mule. The Yule Mule.

Two of my Coquitos for me. It was very good, and I was pleasantly surprised. I mean, I'm always surprised with the ones we make up because I don't know what's coming out of the test kitchen. Sure. Right. Now, Mike, you mentioned the Coquito, right? He did. Yes, just now.

I just did now. Oh, also known as the Little Coconut. So you guys, you've heard of Coconut, but have you heard of the Coconut Quiz? Fuck. Oh. No, I haven't, Tim. Never had, never heard. Haven't heard of it?

Hmm. Well, it's time for it. Are you ready? Oh, shit. Okay. Quiz time. I'm going to ask you coconut-themed questions, and you're going to blurt out the answers. Winner gets a holly jolly holiday scratcher.

Oh, nice. I thought you were going to say winner gets a holly jolly Christmas. Yeah. That, too. If you win the jackpot, that's a scratcher. Gu win the jack guarantee and the loser accidentally locks himself in the basement yeah we're all holiday season um okay here we go fan folks at home you can play along with the coconut quiz question one lights camera action in what film does amer America's dad try for a long time Cast away

Yes, Jefferson, cast away He tries for what? And how does coconut fit in there? He tries for a long time to open a coconut I've never seen that movie Michael Michael Neither have I

I've seen the part where he takes his tooth out Now would you consider watching the film if I told you that during the break in filming when Tom Cruise was losing weight, Robert Zemeckis went and directed What Lies Beneath? You have mentioned that on the pod before, and yes, I would love to do that now, hearing that again. Great. Perfect. So you weren't really listening when I said it on the pod before, but this time we got you. Well, you didn't have it. The stakes weren't there. Yeah, So you weren't really listening when I said it on the pod before, but this time we got you. Well, you didn't have it. The stakes weren't there. Yeah.

The stakes weren't there. Okay. Next question. Question two. Medium rare for mine. Stop. It's not that kind of stakes, Mike. Question number two.

That's cute. When my sister was a kid, she used to pretend she was- Coco L. Coco Alice. Alice Coconut. Jefferson. Alice Coconut. Jefferson! When my sister was a kid, she used to pretend she was a waitress named what? Alice Coconut. And Coco Al did the food making?

Mike, you just guessed question number three. My dad? That makes it no fun. That makes it no fun. No, no, no. You get it. You get it. You get it.

No, I get this one, but you can't just blur it out. You can here on the coconut quiz. Coco Al was the proprietor of the restaurant that he was in the back room. Alice Coconut would come up to me like at our vacation house in Vermont and say, what would you like to drink? And I'll be like, apple cider. And she's like, I'm going to go ask Coco Al if we have any. That type of thing was going on.

Okay. Question four. Lights, camera, action. Name the four stars of the film. Coconuts. Coconuts.

That's a film. Chevy chase. Alec Baldwin. Catherine Zeta-Jones. Steve Zahn. I'll help you out. Cocoale. Yeah, please.

It's a Marx Brothers film. Oh, Harpo. Zeppo. Groucho. And? And? What is his name? Will you want a hint?

No, because it is... You got the hard ones. That was the hard one. I know. What's his... Chico. Yes. So wait.

Coconuts. I was trying to keep track. Did you each say two of the brothers or did one of you say three and one said one? I said three and Jeff, I think, said none. That means that. No, I said one. I kicked it off, baby. Well, the question was to get all four, but Mike got three.

Jeff got one. That means Mike wins the point. The coconut quiz is sitting at two, two, neck and neck. Tim, shouldn't I get a quarter point, and Mike should get three quarter points? Wouldn't that be more fair? Yes. Okay. Let's just see here.

Okay, you get a quarter point, which translates to... Okay, we're going to count that as zero points. And Mike, you get three quarter points, which the exchange rate is basically about one point. Sort of a roundup, rounddown. Okay. Good. okay okay good okay okay so it's two two on the coconut quiz um next question lol in a famed unproduced birthday boy sketch written by tim kelpakis a coconut landed on a guy's head and did what erased his bank bank tie that's a tie and but here's the thing you it doesn't cancel each other out you both get a point so oh cool okay three okay yes it erased his spank bank and he was unable to jerk off so his friends helped him

walk around and see horny things to refill his spank bank. Weird we didn't do that on TV. Okay. Next question. Yummers. This coconut candy bar has no almonds. Mounds. Michael. Almond Joy.

Oh, fuck. What did I say? The wrong answer. Mike was just fast, but then you said Almond Joy, which does, believe it or not, have almonds. No, I said mounds. We both said mounds.

I got first, but then I covered myself by saying almond. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Same family. Same font family. Oh, man. Mike is winning 4-3 here on the Coconut Quiz. Next question. You don't say.

The famed club, the Coconut Grove, was located at the Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire in Los Angeles. Yes, this is true. But also, when Bobby Kennedy gave a speech at that hotel, he got shot by this two named dude. Two named dude. It's the same name twice. John, John. Nope. Henry, Henry.

Let me put this. Let me ask this. Here's a hint yeah now what if mike had been a a knight at the round table what would mike's uh name be if mike sir and sir Yes! Oh my god. See, I kind of knew, but then I was like, do I say that and sound insane? Tim Spadwick? Sirhan, Sirhanford, Sirhanford. And you know, of course, that the real live Mike Hanford was an extra in a Robert F. Kennedy movie. And I was an extra at the Ambassador Hotel scene.

Get out of here. My early days in L.A. brought me to set. You're also in the background of Monk. Next question. Huh. When Bobby Kennedy visited L.A. to make his doomed speech at the Ambassador Hotel, he was actually staying at this fun valley hotel whose pool was later frequented by the Sloppy Boys. Oh, Sportsman's Lodge. God, Sportsman's Lodge.

Fuck. Michael gets it. That's where he stayed? Wow, that's very funny. That is very fun of him. Yeah, plus you would think he'd stay at the Ambassador Hotel, take the elevator down, give the speech, get safe and sound back up to his room. No. He probably wanted to avoid crazy people.

He's covering his tracks, Tim. Okay, last question. Yikes! When Ted Kennedy did the whole Chappaquiddick incident, he was drunk on this cocktail. Whiskey sour? Nope. Mart sour? Nope. Martini? Nope.

I gotta say, Cochitos? Nope. I've mentioned this on the pod before. Pina Colada. Yeah. It went down in history. It has nothing to do with coconut. I was just coming off of the Kennedy questions, but here's the big hint. In the news, it was referred to as

a highball. He had been drinking highballs. It was referred to as a high ball. He had been drinking high balls. Old fashioned Tom Collins. Ah, you're getting, Nope. You're, you're getting close to John Collins. Let's it's,

it's a, it's a spirit and a soda. Fuck Roman cope. There you go. Jen. Now I'm adding it up. And now Jeff, you may have one,

two, three, four. This is true true but Mike has one two three four five six which is more meaning Mike has won the coconut quiz it's crazy that's great I'm excited for the holly jolly scratch off but so crazy the coconut quiz has no mention of extra points side points anything like that well there was that one point where you had a three-quarter point, but the conversion rate was one point. Yeah.

No funny business here on the coconut quiz. No, you think it's going to be, oh, crazy coconuts, coconut quiz. No, but it's actually pretty orthodox. I'm surprised one of the questions wasn't, he put a lime in one. Ah, Harry Nilsson! That's right. Jeff, you want to do an off-the-dome coconut question?

Yeah, join in. It's fun around the holidays. This tropical fruit is sometimes comically used for a bra. Oh, that's good. Yeah, baby. What movie used a character used coconuts in lieu of a horse?

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Yeah. That's our show. Follow us on social media at The Sloppy Boys where we release these recipes ahead of time.

every day. Damn, Lauren. They get harder and harder throughout the week. Wow. Not unlike the shells that bear the squishy meat.

Have you ever tried to open a coconut? That's damn near impossible. No, but America's dad tried for a movie. Yeah, he did. It took me all day. I did it as a kid, and I was throwing it in the air, smacking it on the stairs. I remember I tried to open one as a kid, smack it in on the stairs. Yeah.

I got a coconut. I smack it in on the stairs. Yeah. I got a coconut. I'll throw it down the stairs. I had one of my dad was trying to help me. Like I was trying for a while and it was to get one of those things where I had like a screwdriver. I was hitting it with a hammer. Yeah, yeah. One of my parents was, my dad was like, hey, all right, let me figure something out here.

Yeah. And we drilled like a bunch of little holes in a line and, like, tried to break it open that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we finally got it open all, like, misshapen and the edges were sharp. But then you got all that gross, like... You have hair to, like, sift through, too. Yeah, but, like, if you drill into it, it just, like, drills all the outside and it's gross. Oh.

Like, you can't just, like, cleanly crack it open. It's like, oh, here's the coconut milk without refuse from what you used to crack it. Right, you used too long of a drill bit is the issue. So you're saying drill is bad when it comes to coconuts, but drill is good when it comes to Twitter? Yeah. Drill is Wint. Wint is drill. Wint is drill? What are you talking about? Wint. Wint is Drill. Wint is Drill?

What are you talking about? Wint. Wint. At Wint. Drill. At Wint, a.k.a. Drill. This is like when someone said, I can has cheeseburgers to Tim,

and it felt like he was going nuts. Yeah, yeah. It's a meme. What? A meme. What? A meme. I can has cheeseburger? It's like, was going nuts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's a meme. What? A meme. What? A meme. I can has cheeseburger.

It's like, oh boy, I'm having a stroke. This person has gone loony. Not unlike me talking to Jessica and saying, you know, rock-a-doodle. What? Rock-a-doodle. Chanticleer. Hey. hey we should watch rockadoodle and also um there have you heard of this movie rock and rule not rock and roll rock and rule no it's another one of these like um don bluthy things but it's
