That's Matt Gourley's band. So it's going to be a hell of a night, and you got to be there, because we're going to play a lot of tunes, man. And if you don't live in L.A., come out to L.A. If you don't come out to L.A., well, we're going on tour this spring, and you can see us in the whole middle of the country. So check us out online. 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 Mike Hanford.

Ooh, I feel good. And Tim Kalpakis. What is up, Mafia Guy stylies? Mafia Guy. Oohies? Mafia Guy. Ooh, one of those mob guys. We've discussed Mogwize and now Mob Guys. The Sloppy Boys podcast, from Mogwize to Mob Guys, we cover it all. All of the two-syllable M words.

From M to M. Now, did you hear me when I was speaking, when Jeff introduced me? I said, I'm feeling good. I feel good. Yep. Let me tell you. Jeff, I'm with you. I'm totally with you on there. I just wanted to pull you before we got licensing. Oh, right. Thank you.

I ran. I went out and ran today. It's Iran, actually. I ran. Huh? It's pronounced Iran. I ran 10.25 miles today oh that's a halfer is that not a halfer no a halfers 13 13 2 but i i tell you i went out there i got these new shoes got new shoes for christmas i'm springing on each step and the weather was nice. I could not stop. I love seeing Hanford get healthy. 2023.

Hanford gets healthy and it's happening. And what did I eat today? Mostly keto. I'd say a big bowl of rice was part of it. I love keto rice. I think we have an unreliable narrator whenever you say, I think it was keto. I go, hmm. The intention is always keto. Yeah. As long as you state your intention, I think it was keto. I go, hmm. The intention is always keto.

Yeah. As long as you state your intention, I think that works. The hope is keto. I one time bought, I was trying to drop some LBs and I bought some keto pasta and keto rice. And I was like, what is this? It's on Amazon. I'll order it. And it was like the rice. It was just what is this it's on Amazon I'll order it and it was like the rice it was

just like see-through little transparent bits and it was like not made from grain I think it was like it's like silica gel yeah exactly it was kind of just a plastic and I and I tried to eat it and it was nasty yeah and it turns into warm, soft plastic like rice. It's funny. We've been talking about keto since the tour we had in May, the spring tour. And I don't think I really have a grapple on what it is. I don't think I've ever done it,

but it is nice to say that you are keto. Is keto Atkins? No, keto is you want your body to get into an area of ketosis and i know that it's keto is extreme and you do atkins is like the first leg hey no carb no carb rob low is is selling you candy bars with no carb but like ketosis is like the the state of the body when you've gone so low carb, zero carb and high fat that your body enters ketosis, the state in which Hanford dwells.

Yes. Nice. I describe it this way, Jeff. Atkins is an italicized cursive font where keto is all caps college font. College font? That's so cool. Like college guys? Well, that's where we get our font. That's how I describe

it. College font. We haven't really taught college guys on the pod. All of our listeners have to check out Mike Hanford and John Haskell have a It's a weekly web skit of the week. You know, it's not weekly, but the intention is there. Well, it's not weekly, but when one comes out,

it is the web skit of the week. Yeah, it is the web skit of the week. Periodic. It's periodic, but it's a TV show as we call it, and it's episodic. I just love seeing two funny guys sit down and commit to like, hey, we're committing

to our digital, our funny digital short series and we're going to crank them out and we're going to get the attention of the industry at some point. Yep. You say, I like that it's two funny guys like you're saying, Tim, your words, I don't say that I'm funny,

that are committing to their acting and realistically behaving the way people do in real life. And the editing, the editing in it is exactly the editing you would see anywhere. All the objects make the appropriate sound that that object would make.

Any flatulent noise is introduced properly and dealt uh, dealt with. I do. I do like that. You just embraced shooting vertically, by the way. I know that that's like a thing that our people of our generation bristle at, but you said, you know, I'm your, your Gen Z in it.

Yeah. We said, we got to put these up on Instagram and Tik TOK and where you got to, you've got to go to the medium, which is so important to us. Then when you said you had this problem, and I've had it too, where you posted Instagram real, you shot it vertically,

you're like, I'm playing the game, and then it pushes in even farther. Yeah, I don't know what's going on there. You know what also happens on TikTok? I don't use TikTok enough. But the thing you're talking about, Tim, yeah, it just is like, boop, a little too close. It just gives it a bump so it's uncomfortable. Yeah, Mike, you just

should talk to your post supervisor about that. That's you. Me? You want a job? The thing I don't like on TikTok, when I see people on TikTok, when they post stuff, is they don't put the text in the right place or something, and it's like covered up

by all the buttons and the info. Well, there's an art to it for sure. There's an art, folks. And some of us are failing that class. Not understanding the assignment. No. No, no, no. Well, did we get into some booze news?

Sure, once. Bip, bip, bip, bip, bip. Booze news. Hit it. Okay, everyone. Hello. It is time for... Bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, bip. Drew's News Podcast Hit it. Okay, everyone. Hello. It is time for Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo.

Drew's News Podcast or the Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo. Drew's News Podcast, I guess you should say, where we're serving up all the news you need. A sprinkle of

Borp. A splash of Bop. Ooh. And then always a side of Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. Apparently at like all nightclubs right now,

there's like major remixes of that song. And that is the thing sweeping the club set. Not to drop a name, but Quentin Tarantino. What? Said. It's Drew's News. You flushing your breasts at David Letterman Dudes. Brushing your breasts at David Letterman Dunes.

Drew's News was sent to us by Tommy, a.k.a. Teenage Fan Sub on the Sloppy Boys Discord, which you should get access to if you subscribe to our Patreon. And if you have a Boo's News theme, email it to thesloppyboyspodcast at gmail.com um drew barrymore you know she has a famous lisp but it's weird when you're not looking at her and you're just listening it's even more pronounced yeah yeah she kind of covers it i don't know if it's covering it or just sort of um working with it she just moves her mouth an extra little bit to kind of... It's a crooked smile kind of... It kind of goes, her jaw goes

sideways. Is that what's sort of happening? That was a good booze news theme, and that was for, because there was no music for a good part of it, I was kind of like, what is going on here? Yeah. It took me a second. I said, what the heck?

You were throwing your hands up. You were kind of looking around ah fuck um i was thinking that really gave me a real uh existential moment hearing myself go do do do do do do and just know that that's that's the type of guy i am that's what people think of me yeah i'll go'll go back. You know, we listen to these every week to sort of just QC the editing and make sure that there's no, like, somebody didn't go, hey, I just farted. Oh, make sure you cut that out. And that actually gets cut out. Anyway, I'll listen back to these and say to myself,

you can't go out and talk like that anymore in public? When you hear all the like, boop, boop, boop, dee, dee, dee, deet, you wonder like, where could that have been from? I don't remember saying dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee. I feel like maybe it's every week we kind of run out of shit chat and then you say,

should we get into some dee, dee, boop, boop? Or like, you're kind of hinting for me to say, bip, bip. When hinting for me to say bip bip yeah yeah when you want your friend to say bip bip usually you turn to them and say hey do do

dee dee dee dee they say they give you a knowing nod yes I know what this is it's the news ticker it's the news hot hot news

coming across the wire boop boop boop did we ever have that as a like the actual that like sound effect was that early on in the booze yeah before we had booze news themes did we make our own tim did you made one i think tim i started it but it was i had a jazzy one that was like talk oh talk of the town yeah yeah and then you did a second one right yeah it was like another one that's very similar yeah it was it wasn't talking the

town but it was like uh what's in the news or like some kind of whispery stuff yeah and then we said you take it folks you were smart to outsource that tim yeah and say you know what we've got legions of fans we get they all this bandwidth, all this untapped creative potential. Why don't we just point them in this direction? I don't have the time to be making these. I have Emmy nominations to focus on. I have WGA, two WGA noms to focus on. I have to focus on thinking about the next time

I'm going to bring coffee for the entire cast and crew of a music video shoot, okay? That's what's on my mind. You think that I can sleep at night? Maybe the next time you bring coffee to a music crew, what if it's a music video crew? What if it's a Taylor Swift music video? That's a lot of coffee.

I would do that. A lot of coffee. And it's fun. Maybe you'll be in the video, too. Pop in. Coffee guys have pointed it in. I wasn't really listening, and then I heard music video. I said, oh, what if Tim was in a Taylor Swift video?

Taylor Swift DM'd me the other day, and she said, you want to be in this music video? I was like, well, send me the track first. She said, I'm not done with it yet. I said, well, then I don't want to be a part of this. Figure your shit out, Taylor. Hey, speaking of pop star DMs, have you heard about the Doja Cat DM scandal?

Is there a new one or was there an old one? Like a year ago, Doja Cat DMed one of the Stranger Things boys. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And was like, hey, can I get the number of this other Stranger Things boy? Something like that. And then they were like, no, you have a boyfriend. And she's like, I don't care that I have a boyfriend.

I want to talk to these Stranger Things boys. And then somebody screenshotted it, and the whole thing got out that she was sliding in DMs. Doja Cat is in the DMs out there. And wasn't it a big, go find her. Go get her. She's out there. DMs open. Doja Cat is looking to chat.

Doja, I say lay out the DMs, and what I want you to do is text me more. Do-do-do. Text me more. Now, does she have shaved eyebrows still? I remember seeing that. Yeah, she's wild. Shaved eyebrows is a tough look to pull off. Dennis Hopper did it in the Super Mario Brothers movie.

Sure. And nobody said shit. Yeah. Well, we probably covered it when we covered that on the blowout. Yes. It's so hard. When I look at someone who has no eyebrows, when their eyebrows are shaved off, it takes me like an hour of being like, I don't like this face.

Something's up. I don't know what it is, but I'm not too happy with it. And I can never just notice that it's eyebrows. Yeah. It's a unique thing to human faces. You're like, oh, did you get a haircut? What, did you lose some weight? In a way, yes.

When you shave your eyebrows, in a way you got a haircut. Yep. Face hair. Okay, booze news. Top story of the day. Green tea shots are uniting choogy millennials and scaring the youths,

according to Vine Pair. You heard about this? Can't say I have tea. I did not hear about that from Vine Pair. I did read an article on Vine Pair for our drink of the day, though. Yeah, Vine Pair is a booze blog that usually I go to like punch drink or a few

others but vine pear is vine pear i think v-i-n-e like wine it was like wine news but now it's covering more but uh slaphead david camacho uh sent me this uh article and i had not heard of these shots apparently apparently but seriously folks um there there is a a mixed shot you don't see a lot of those shaken up mixed shots like the lemon drop shots going on but this one is right now very popular with millennials and gen z is making fun of millennials for it and calling it a cheap shot. But I hadn't even heard of this. You make a shot that is equal parts Jameson, sour mix, and peach schnapps. That sounds fine.

Jameson, sour mix, and peach schnapps, okay. And you shake it up, and you pour it on the shot glasses, and it's supposed to taste like green tea. So it's called a green tea shot. i guess a little bit of the fruitiness from the from the schnapps and the color from the sour mix and the whiskey but so millennials as green tea drinkers are ordering rounds of this thing we're doing green tea shots and that's the millennial boom i i assumed it was just in new york and yeah it's in the west Village, but there's also dive bars in Michigan drinking this.

I have not heard. I have not had. How about you guys? Not heard or had. Are you guys fans? Oh, Jeff, have you heard or had before I take the floor? No, no, no. Go on.

Have you guys, do you like green tea flavor? No. Yeah, it's not my favorite. I got two boxes of green tea in my uh kitchen they've been there for yeah years i'm going through a box of green tea right now you gotta work through it yeah i like mint tea i like mint tea lemon ginger oh i don't the weird thing about green tea it's like i don't dislike the taste because hey i don't dislike any taste but it is rather muted when you have like japanese ice cream that's green tea flavor like i like that stuff it's got kind of that matcha chalkiness to it but i think i would prefer almost any other flavor on

earth but i still love the green tea ice cream yeah yeah maybe if it's side by side with a little vanilla you say a little column a little column b you ever have, T-A-Z-O? Is that ice cream as well? I think it's like tea related. Oh, Tazo tea. Tazo tea, but then I'm talking boba. There's a boba that has Tazo flavored it. And when you taste it, you go, what is this? I've had this before.

Huh. But it's implacable. Now, isn't Tazo the tea brand at Starbucks? Um. Oh. I don't know. Could be something I'll look into. Hey folks, Dutz here.

Quick editor's note. I meant taro. T-A-R-O. It's a root and the flavor is described as vanilla or nutty. Maybe even a little bit of a sweet potato flavor. Okay, carry on. Would you want to hear what I had at Starbucks this morning? Yes.

I hope it was the egg sous vide. Actually, I ordered sous vides. I put them in my pocket, and on the way home, I decided to get a chili verde burrito. So I kept the sous vides in the pocket, threw them in the fridge, and I ate this big chili verde burrito. But what I had at Starbucks was a – it was cold and rainy here in Los Angeles. You guys are getting dumped on. We're getting cats and birds. These guys are getting douched out there.

Stop. Pistachio latte. You had? It's so good. No. Pistachio latte. I like pistachio. Pistachio's a good flavor. It's like a macaroon Pistachio. I like pistachio. Pistachio's a good flavor.

It's like a macaroon, you know? It's a pistachio. Yes. Oh, it's so good. It's luxurious. Maybe tomorrow I'll get it with oat milk, even still. You know what? You know what you'll find out there?

Have you had Oreo Thins? Yeah. Yeah, I've had them. Now, don't mock them. Don't mock them. I wasn't about to. They're not for people trying to lose weight or whatever. They're a legitimate cookie in their own right.

But here's the thing. Oreo gave its bougiest flavors to the Thins. You can get latte, pistachio, best of the bunch. And then there's another one like lemon or something, but they're all very, very good. All right. Pistachio shit is so good. I like amaretto. You know, this is the stuff I like.

My parents' candy factory, they used to have pistachio ice cream. And to make it, you know, you order shelled pistachios. You don't have to crack every pistachio you're going to throw into the ice cream. So I would sneak a handful of whole pistachios cracked and just chomp them. That is a... That's a king's move. Yeah, that's a very decadent move. That's like if you, the time, Jeff, you had all those cocktail shrimps

and you detailed them and you put them in a bowl and ate them with cocktail sauce like a cereal. Like a cereal. That seems like a bridge too far. Yes, yes. Am I using that phrase right? A bridge too far?

I'll take it. Too far. Well, wait. So is that it for Booze News? Would you... Wait, hold on. I thought I had one more thing that I wanted to say,

but it was... What even was the Booze News? Can somebody remind me? Oh, yeah. It was about the green tea. That's what we're talking. Pistachio latte. Wait, no, hold on.

I had one more little thing I wanted to mention, which was... Oh, you think, Tim? I got a booze news for you. The water quiz that we did a few episodes ago. Yeah, great quiz. I've had a few people say that that was a really good quiz. It was. I told you right then and there.

It was, well, contest winner Neil Campbell, for one. I think they enjoyed it. I think they enjoyed the, and some other people, they enjoyed the points debacle. Yeah, the water quiz. Oh, that was my least favorite part, actually. I like all that stuff. I like when different quizzes have different

rules, because it shows you in life that not all the quizzes have the same rules. Look at how it's not a bag of pistachios. Hey, nice. It's not the quiz master who makes up the rules. It's just they come along with the quiz. Yeah, they're germane to the quiz. Yeah. I wouldn't have expected

people enjoying the water quiz as much because water is just water, you know? It's just kind of boring. Save the water for your daughter. Alright, is that it for Booze News? Sure. Wrap it up. Nice. Can I just say

that I said save the water for your daughter without my brain being involved i was eating a pistachio uh-huh i i said save the water for your daughter and then i looked at the screen i saw your reactions and i was like what did i just say yeah but that's a weird thing because a lot of times if you if you're on autopilot you would say something that's been said before but he is save the water... That's not an expression. No, but it's...

Hold on. We'll confirm if you've... Save the water for your daughter. No matches found. It's never been said. Wow. Coin it, Tim. Trademark it.

There would be no reason to. Google says about zero results. About? Approximately. Or save the water for your dog. Your son is about to drink some Evian and you go, ah, save the water for your dog. I'm sort of feeling like I was saying, I ran 10 miles today. I'm feeling pretty winded and worn out.

I too am. Things are coming out of my mouth, and I'm like, well, I didn't really think of that, but away it goes. Pure instinct, baby. Sure. Well, do these words, speaking of words and phrases, do these phrases mean anything to you? I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse.

Yes, that does mean something. It sounds to me like something you might say if you were kind of a mafia guy status. Yeah, mafia guy status. Maybe you got some cotton balls in your cheeks. Yeah, yeah. How about this phrase? Take care of Fredo, Michael.

I'm talking about the movie The Godfather, the 1972 feature-length film written, based on the book by Mario Puzo, The Godfather, written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, I want to say. Well, today we're talking about the drink of the same name called The Godfather. Right, and this is very similar to last week's episode where we covered the French Connection. French Connection, which was cognac and amaretto, di serrano we used. And this one, again, just a sort of variation on that.

This one's going to be scotch, equal parts scotch and di serrano. Easy stuff. A smoky scotch, if I understand. Yeah, a peaty scotch. I understand yeah pd a pd scotch i think i've got some leftover famous gross me too i got i've got ard bag i forget what that was from or we had to get like we had to get like two different scotches for some sort of drink it could have been uh the screwball the screwball the corkscrew what am i trying to say the rusty i think the the real stinky scotch we

got for something more modern that was like from death and co or something like that like the naked and famous or the something like sprayed on top i want to say well now okay let's get back to the uh the godfather here this was this is one of those you remember last year the french connection was like it came out after the movie The French Connection. There didn't seem to be real. This one kind of has the same thing. It's like it came out around the time The Godfather came out. But there's somebody, Di Serono apparently does not confirm nor deny this,

that Brando's favorite drink was a scotch and Di Serono. Love it. And then there's also some ideas here that the disaronno or the amaretto is an Italian aperitivo? Sure. Is that the word? And they drink a lot of scotch in The Godfather.

So, putting those two together becomes The Godfather. Nice. Very classic, very simple drink. But I read this article here on Vine Pair And it's talking about Oh, of course there's different There's the Godmother, which is vodka and amaretto The Goddaughter, vodka, amaretto, and cream

The Godson, scotch, amaretto, and cream So there's a bunch of different variations on it But The thing I found interesting That I didn't really Consider this like one of those 70s Sort of fern bar drinks like the Grasshopper, the Cosmo or the I don't know what other types of drinks. The Espresso Martini. Harvey Wallbanger.

Harvey Wallbanger. Singles Bar. Yeah. Yeah. Like kind of kind of sweet and just kind of a stunty a little bit. But I guess this does fit in the fit in that era. And this Vine Pair article is sort of making the case that like, bring this one back. If you're going to bring all those other ones back, like the Espresso Martini and Cosmo, bring this back too.

We're the guys to do it. Yeah. That's right. And we're doing it today. And this was funny. I saw this. This was Slophead Red Fabry sent us this article. And I think, did it refer to this as, I only read the headline, but it was like disco drinks, right? They weren't calling it same era. It's 70s and it's sweet. But maybe there was a slight if we had if only we had a time machine, we could figure out that perhaps there was a certain yuppie go into a fern bar and having their sweet drinks and then there was more of a shag carpety kind of gang uh or

light up floor type of gang drinking disco drinks i simply don't know i don't know either uh but we we do think that basically last week you said that the french connection probably started even before the movie so are we probably thinking that the French Connection was first? And then it's like, hey, we're naming Amaretto drinks after movies. May as well call one the Godfather. Well, in terms of when the movies came out, like French Connection was 71, I believe, and Godfather 72. So if that's the case, then yeah, that would be the order.

But I'm not sure entirely. But wait, there was one other thing I want to mention about this. Oh, so in certain bars around New York and the country, they're bringing the Godfather back and doing variations on it, like mixing up the amounts and adding like bitters or adding like rye whiskey. So there's more interesting bartenders are doing more interesting things with this drink. But I submit that we do the one for one

so we can compare it to the French Connection the same way. And the French Connection was 35 milliliters, so we'll do this, 35 milliliters. So it shall be equal parts. 35 millimeters of... Millimeters. Equal parts of scotch and amaretto. We're using Di Serrano, I believe.

I know I am. Put it in a glass. Put some ice in that glass and stir it up. Stir it up. Stir it up. Great. I'm excited. I love the French connection so much.

I think that this one, I'm not as much of a Petey Scotch guy, so I don't think I'll love it as much as French Connection. But if Di Serrano's in the mix, I'm going to love it. I like Di Serrano on my ice cream, you guys. You know this. Famously. I did that two nights ago on chocolate ice cream. It was very nice.

Chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips in it. What am I? What am I? What am I, Sir Fudge over here? Yeah. I don't want to be Sir Fudge. I used to be the vanilla guy. I don't want to be Sir Fudge. All right, well, Sir Fudge has one more thing to say about something.

Can he please? I'm excited. Can Sir Fudge please get to his point? Get to his point. The point is I'm looking forward to this drink, and I think that the scotch is going to be a harder hit than the brandy, the cognac. So it's going to sort of self-balance itself out and not be as sweet. That's what I think.

Great. Mike, I hope you're right. Sir, I hope you're right. Sire. Folks, we're going to go get these drinks ready, and we'll see you right back here. After the ads. Ad bot.

Is that his name? I forget. Yeah. Thought bot. Thought bot. We had a bit that we had a bit that was thought bot. T H O T. T H O T bot.

Thought bots really cutting it up on the dance floor. THOTBOT. T-H-O-T? T-H-O-T-BOT? Yeah. THOTBOT's really cutting it up on the dance floor. Who brought the chugies? All right, THOTBOT. Bye, folks. Bye, THOTBOT. And we're back with The Godfather Enhanced. The Godfather-ish. I still haven't hit a good impression.

I'll make him a drink he can't refuse. Yeah, like a good one like that. Yeah, like a good one. But also in the last segment, I said Petey really loud, and I wanted that to be known as a Dumb and Dumber reference. Oh, that's what that was. Yes, yes, yes. Petey.

Jeff, the only Dumb and Dumber reference we make on this show is two bowls of loudmouth soup. Good one. They look great. Very simple. Let's see him. Drinks up. Nice. You can't mess it up.

Sips? Yeah, sips. I'll take a sip. I can't you can't mess it up sips yeah sips i'll take a sip i can't refuse wow you're still getting the smoke and the peat it's doing exactly what i thought it's tempered nicely tempered just tempered and it's it feels like more of a uh a more of a what do i want to say like a a heartier drink than the one we did last week yeah yeah that was a sweet sipper this is ping pang and i mean these these peaty scotches are wild yeah and and a little intense for me so the rocks in the and the uh these serono is bringing it a little bit over to a couple of steps to

Tim town. God damn. That's good. That is good. And it's got depth. It's got depth. It's got character. Height and height and width.

And for people, a lot of width, whoop, too wide for my mouth. I served my, for people that don't like sweet drinks, it's probably better than the French connection

that's true you know what this article too that I was reading said there's got to be a better way to construct that sentence but I'll figure it out later this is bars were putting it on their fall and winter menus

and it's like of course that. That makes so much sense. Even the last one we did, the French Connection. Now, why would you say such a thing? Why would I? I don't disagree. I just... Because I think the sweetness, it's like an old-fashioned, to me,

feels like a warm type of drink. Like you want to make yourself warm with it. Yeah. Like you wouldn't, unless I could be wrong, but would you drink an old-fashioned by the pool? You could. You'd do anything in this fine country we have. You'd be weird. You'd be strange to do.

You'd be strange to do it. I told you guys one time I was at a Shutter's Hotel in Santa Monica, and I was by the pool, and I saw a guy in black jeans and a black t-shirt drinking a martini in the hot midday sun by the pool. Was it Ian Malcolm? Kind of. It looked like that. And he had a wife and kid. He was like playing with a cute baby.

But he was all in black and he had olives in a martini at noon by the pool in California. Wow. The man in black. Are you saying martini is an odd thing to drink in a pool or a guy to be not in a bathing suit? Both. Two weird. Both are two weird things. Martini is a

to me, it's a dinner drink. It's a nighttime cocktail. Well, Tim, you know that you need that to cut through a stick. You're eating yourself a 42-ounce ribeye and you need the shink. Cut right through it, baby. Cold, crisp, martini cutting through.

Diamond-like razor precision. All right, all right. Precision. Precision, not precision. Like many pool goers, Tim is off the deep end. That's true. This, I think, see, I would drink a martini by the pool, I think. Certain pools.

Certain pools. Not the neighborhood pool. That's a cracking up ear. But what about the hot sun part? I usually find myself underneath some sort of an umbrella or a... Or a couple feet underwater because I dunked you. Going in the drink. Hey, do you remember when we went to the neighborhood pool? Who went?

Oh yeah, I went. In LA? Who among you? Up in the valley. Up in the valley, we went to like the neighborhood pool and it was good because they had the high dives. Do you remember this? I think I went to that. We used to go to the Sportsman's Lodge. Oh, yes, I did.

The Sportsman's Lodge raised their prices from like $12 to $20. Back when to us, that was a huge amount of money. And they were like, let's go to this pool where you just need a library card. And it was very fun. But the problem with the town pool is the fence. Like there's no lounge chairs and the fence is close to the... if you're at the pool, you're swimming or you're diving. It's utilitarian. If you want to drink a martini, you can't lounge.

You can't, you can't. But they have like, you know, you've seen a diving board at a public pool. We all have. This place has like the giant concrete structures aligning the pool where like you can go up um like a pretty big set of steps a medium set of steps or the giant one and i think the giant one was even closed when we were there yeah i think you had to be i think you had to be a member of the jackass franchise because it's funny to have a public pool and it's like by the way you can practice your olympic dives here kids because there are olympians probably in the neighborhood and they need a place to go i'm embarrassed by how scared i am of those high dives because i grew up with the pool with

the diving board i like to dive and then every once in a while we would go kind of like cliff jumping where you climb up a big rock and you dive into the water and i used to do that as a kid and that has the element of like usually there's something you have to clear or you don't know how deep the water is there so there's like legitimately a reason that cliff jumping is scary but i did it but i was scared but i did it so when when i've gone to like the um the rose aquatic center is this ithaca or or palinville like in my hometown area because it's yeah you got all those gorges in upstate new york we got it all over the place. But when I used to go, I used to swim laps at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center in Pasadena. Ah, nice.

And they have some of those, like the triple Lindy diving board there. And I was pretty scared when I got up there. I was scared. And it's like, you know, it's safe. You're diving into an Olympic size pool and it's a nice clean ledge., I was scared. And it's like, you know it's safe. You're diving into an Olympic-sized pool, and it's a nice, clean ledge. But I was scared. Wait, would you dive off those big, not the springboard ones, just the platforms? Would you dive?

I was too scared to dive, so I, like, jumped. I just, like, stepped off. Yeah, I wouldn't even attempt to dive off there. But I know what you mean. It's like, you can see the bottom. You can see everything. But still, you're up there, like, ooh, what if, what if, what, I wouldn't even attempt to dive up there, but I know what you mean. It's like, you can see the bottom, you can see everything, but still you're up there like, Oh, what if, what if, what? I don't know what.

In college, I was, uh, an RA my sophomore year. Yes. Narc. Yeah. Only for, only for a year. Nice. And then I renounced my narcish ways. Um, but I took my floor of kids, kids that are a year younger than me,

some of them probably older than me. We went to one of the gorges. Oh, yeah. There's that jumping area. There's a jumping area. And I went to the biggest drop. And I jumped off. And I've done this sort of stuff.

But the problem was this time I sat on the water. I didn't pencil in with my feet and i and i sat and it hurt my back so like i felt like i got the wind knocked out of me but i felt this sharp pain in my back and so i like good i yelped and then i sort of like twitched up to the surface and sort of like twitched my way to shore like like in like a pre-evolved little little fish mr dutton mr dutton are you okay quiet down kids we're going home and daddy hurt his ass i like like strained i guess like some muscle in my back or something uh-huh i i uh i was trying to play it cool but was like just laying on the shore and then in order to sit up i had to take

my towel and wrap it around my waist oh i think you've told this story really tight yeah in order because like otherwise my muscles like were failing me so you needed to like build a back you needed to build an exoskeleton i yeah i had to like cinch my my waist like like i was wearing a corset in order to stand up straight. And then I walked home in the woods the way that you do. With the group or just by yourself? No, I was just like, you guys will be fine. Don't do what I just did. And then my back hurt for like a day or two.

And the only thing that makes me feel like I maybe fucked something up, I got better. But I used to be able to crack my back. You know how in school you'd wrap your ankles around the legs of the school chairs and you could twist sideways and you'd get a nice big satisfying... I can crack my back one way but not the other. Well, I used to get some really big satisfying cracks. And I think I just popped all the air vessels out of my spine or something. Air vessels?

I would guess that's not it, but maybe something like that. No, no, I think it's air sacs and hollows like a bird. Is there bubble wrap in everybody's back and you popped all yours? I think I popped it. I got my one big last crack that day. Damn. I know that you're supposed to. No.

When you do a gorge jump, you're supposed to clinch the butt cheeks so it doesn't go up your butt and then you're supposed to put your feet together and a little in front of you so not sitting position but just like poked out a little bit yeah i did a butt flop i i have an injury from the same era jeff where i was shooting a comedy sketch at ithaca college and i rolled down the stairs of my condo townhouse dorm for a bit, and I hurt my shoulder. Like a log? No, like just through my, like Chevy Chase, like no plan, just was like, I'm rolling down

the stairs to be funny. Some jackass shit. And I was 19, so I was like, I think I could just be funny and just roll, like head down and body going overhead and just a full roll. Whoa, like a somersault? Just threw myself down the stairs with no plan jeez louise the circle apartments and um how many steps like a six step how many any if the good bombers that listen to the show uh tweet at us and let us

know how many steps are in the circle apartments anywhere between my guess 15 to 70. Like a skater would know. They'd be like, oh, that's a fucking 12-step. But I hurt my shoulder then, never had it looked at. And to this day, it's been exactly 20 years, and I have a little pang of pain in my shoulder in that spot. I just never asked the doctor about it. Yikes. Yikes. I guess I'll shoulder that burden alone.

Going back to the jumping off cliffs, I really like a rope swing. You find yourself in a rope swing situation that shoots way out and you have a big drop. You've got to let go at the right moment, Michael. You can't have one of these Instagram fails where someone comes back to the party porch. Covered in mud. Sliding down a muddy bank in your bathing suit. I've never done the rope. We've got to find one.

Maybe we'll find one in the bayou when we go to New Orleans. Maybe it'll be a good blowout we could do. We're doing a New Orleans rope swing. Into the waiting jaws of a gator. The bayou is like, it's so funny too, because that's like shallow water and muddy. We would swim off, swing off into a swamp. You know what's fun? You know when you go to Disneyland

and you go to that Pirates of the Caribbean ride? Yeah. And it takes you, before you get into the pirate part, you go through that bayou area. Beautiful. What a cool thing that is. Just take me a couple laps around there. I don't need to go see all that mayhem and violence.

Jeez. It was the first time I went on that when I was, oh, I'd say in my, I was 27, I want to say. I was really, my eyes were shot wide open. I said, wow, this is really cool in here. It is cool. Let me out. I want, wow, this is really cool in here. It is cool. Let me out. I want to join them.

I want to join them. I want to live in the old shack. I shall live among them. I want to collect lightning bugs with those rapscallion scowls. Now these days you have to just sell for talk like a pirate day once a year and only on that ride too it can be done hey i was just sipping this cocktail this is fantastic this cocktail it gets better as it's meltier as all drinks do um and i was thinking about the uh

disaronno and we talked about how delicious disaronno is and do you remember last week on the podcast when we did the french connection i was talking about there's a classic disaronno tv commercial from the 90s that's very sensual yeah um uh well we didn't we didn't have a chance we didn't have it on hand but since we're talking about a Di Serrano drink again today, I pulled the clip and I ripped the audio. Hey, nice. I thought it would be fun to listen to this Di Serrano commercial that I used to see when I was watching Rangers games on MSG Networks as a kid. I love it. And it's just a really interesting commercial if you've ever heard it.

So take a listen. Great. Di Serrano Sour. Di Serrano Martini. really interesting commercial if you've ever heard it so take a listen great disaronno sour disaronno martini disaronno on the rocks disaronno on the rocks disaronno's warm and sensual taste makes you wish it would never end whoa hey what's that lady doing with that piece of ice she just pulled out of her DeSarono glass? Oh, she's putting it into her lips and mouth and licking it all completely sexy. Oh, God, this woman is too promiscuous, if you ask me.

Not unlike Conrad Hilton's great-granddaughter, okay? Oh, geez. Anyway, what is up? Calphicake here. Can I get a DeSorono, please? You know, I like to put it on my ice cream, if you can believe that. DeSorono. Pass the pleasure around.

Wow. Wait a minute. You used to watch that? I was in that, it sounds like. I was in it. Yeah, I was in it. That's where you met. That's where you met. Sorry, brain fart. I was in it.

Wow. You know what, guys? I meant to say that was the original cut. I see. Okay. And they cut you out of it. Yeah. They thought, you know, let's just go out on the sexy later. We don't need this guy coming in and sort of like having original cut i see right okay got it they cut you out of it yeah yeah they were they thought you know let's just go out on the sexy later we don't need this this guy coming in and sort of like having something to say about it right because think about commercials you're selling a sexy product a beautiful model that's the way to do it but to have this extra guy kind of also yeah

shaming her for shaming her and and then someone who's not even in the commercial as well. Yeah. It's a strange thing, and he's sort of, yeah, he's just judgy and misogynistic. And then what does he do for the product? Nothing, really. I mean, he says he. Well, he did mention the ice cream. That's true.

Yeah. Okay. It's good. Now, do you order DeSorono at a bar and then bring it home to your ice cream, or do you have the ice cream with you there? I usually keep a bottle out when I pour in the ice cream, but, you know, desperate times probably call for desperate measures, I guess. Yes, desperate measures are in desperate need of desperate times.

So I was in that commercial. Got it. Gotcha, gotcha. You got it. You got it. Takeaway is, Galpique, star of the DeSarono commercial from the late 80s. And announcing himself at the bar

and saying, what is up? Early on in the 90s. This was early on when the Rangers games were on. Yeah, it was. What is up, Goo Goo Gaga? Yeah. All right. Why don't we take a little break here

and then we'll come back, and we'll discuss round two. Love it. Well, why don't we discuss round two? Oh, what we're going to eat. We're going to do round two. Yeah, we're going to do round. I maybe said that poorly.

No, that's okay. Because you have the option, a lot of recipes for this roll back to Di Serrano, but I don't feel like this was too sweet for me, so I don't need to roll back. No, no, no. I mean, sure, Walmart is rolling back prices all the time, but I don't think I need to roll back

to DiSerono on this cocktail. I don't know if Walmart has rolled back a price for 10 years, but I'll take it. Maybe I'll dig up an old commercial and see if I was in it. Well, Jeff, they're doing something right. The stock price is still shooting up. Is it? I don't know.

You're the portfolio guy. I got the portfolio, rocking the portfolio. is still shooting up. Is it? I don't know. Could be. You're the portfolio guy. I got the portfolio. I'm rocking the portfolio. I go down to Wall Street every day and see if I can build that thing. What I'm going to do differently here, I forget the exact, what it called for.

I saw a variation on this. I'm going to add a few dashes of bitters. Just, why not? Just to change it up. I saw that as some variation somebody was doing, along with other stuff. I'm going to do it with normal doers, not the 12-year PD

famous grouse. PD. Billy and Forsky? Folks, why don't you take a listen to some of the best ads available. Do yourself a favor. Go ahead, Jeff. That's a good idea, too. They want to hear the ads. These people, they don't you take a listen to some of the best ads available? You know what? Do yourself a favor. Go ahead, Jeff. Yeah, that's a good idea, too.

No, they want to hear the ads. Because these people, they don't want to get on the Patreon. No, they're fine. They're fine with not listening to the Patreon. They want to hear the ads. Well, if you're doing the ads and you want to listen to something else, maybe hop on over to YouTube and look up Succulent Chinese Me meal and watch that video. Didn't we discuss that?

That was on the blowout. What am I being arrested for? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal? Check it out. And we're back with round two of The Godfather. Godfather Part 2. Godfather.

Oh, that was actually a movie. That was a movie, and there is, that was a variation on the drink. Somebody made a Godfather Part 2 drink, and that's when they added, it's kind of a newer one, and they added some different stuff to it. Keep talking. Let me look at that. Let me look it up did they add a tumbling orange from that famous fateful scene yeah yeah well that was from one so they wouldn't add it to the part two godfather part two exhale come on michael the

listeners are getting impatient i know i know that You were supposed to fill the time here. Oh, yeah. All right. Well, I will say what I did. I added a twist of lemon. Oh, very nice. Because lately, I was kind of making Hennessy old fashions, and then I lost the cherry. And I call it a Hennessy in lemon, but it's basically simple syrup, orange bitters, Hennessy, rocks.

And it's been the thing I do a lot. So I said, hey, this ain't too different. And add that lemon. Oh, yeah, the lemon twist. Not juice. I did the same measurements, but I did it with a normal bottle of Dewars, not a very peaty scotch. And also I have an interesting conversation topic. Oh.

Let me just get this out real quick. This is from Punch.com again. Good. Reliable. Punchdrink.com. The Godfather Part 2 is bourbon, Luxardo, oh sorry, Amaretto,

preferring Luxardo, Scotch. Angostura bitters. That's where I got this idea, I guess. And three drops Sarsaparilla tincture. That's weird. Too much work. We like these equal parts.

Bing, bang. Two ingredients. Sip it. That's what makes this thing nice. Let me try this one with the bitters. Oh, yeah, yeah. Try it. Okay. I like it without the bitters oh yeah yeah try it okay i like that i like it without the bitters better did you do any did you do tweaks i did no tweaks uh and and the sip with the normal

kind of no tweaks needed tweak freak oh this is interesting because it's not peaty not smoky um it's a little more down the middle a little more cal Calpique. But I would say if you're going to go Godfather, go full bore and have the stinky stuff. I feel like a lot of people think our podcast has gone full bore at times. Stop! I just saw the wave file there, the form for your stop. It's huge. Turned into a big brick. Okay, here's my interesting topic.

Mike, you watched season two of White Lotus. Jeff, you did not see season two of White Lotus. What the hell are you doing with this show? It's not enough. Watch the show. It's not going to be a waste of your time. Or at least listen to Tim's topic, which is they bring up, they have an interesting conversation about the film Godfather.

Godfather. Where they say like say like oh men only like that movie because it's this like toxic fantasy of when like men could just like do anything they want and be violent and have sex with whoever they want and have no repercussions so it's like this toxic fantasy of male masculinity and that's what that's the deal with that movie. And then Michael Imperioli is like, no, you have it the other way around. It's a great movie because it knows that's the fantasy because that's what's ingrained in man.

So the movie is intentionally being the fantasy. And it's sort of like the, the Gen Z son and the Gen X dad arguing of what came first, the, the, the, the chicken or the egg when you watch the godfather do you think like oh this is problematic or oh this is dated or do you think this oh, is actually about family. Yes.

It's almost Shakespearean in a way. When you think about Michael being the successor for his father, it's almost not unlike Macbeth or Hamlet. Or Dom Toretto. Did they ever call in Sopranos? From the Fast movies. Oh, I don't know about that. The other great movies about family. In the Sopranos,

do they ever call Tony the godfather? He's just, they don't even say Don, do they? They just say the boss. They don't call him the godfather because I don't think he's anyone's actual godfather, but I love the way that when they reference the godfather in Sopranos, they don't think he's anyone's actual godfather but i love the way that in when

they reference the godfather in sopranos they don't say it um it'll just be like you know in two that's the best one it's just known that that's the only movie these guys watch are this between silvio and wally they're like yeah in yeah that was two uh to tim to to answer Tim's question I have not given that any thought I think I just assumed it was like taking I don't know what it was doing yeah

I mean a lot of movies were they're having it both ways right it's supposed to be fun and they're condemning it at the same time yeah who's who's uh Scarface who wrote Scarface who made Scarface De Palma yeah De Palma made it yeah that's one of those ones I really think about that because you're like that one is it's a similar type of male fantasy and then I think the movie no is not totally on the side of tony montana but i think that the 90s bros that became obsessed with um scarface and and like on cribs

like hip-hop stars that loved scarface i think they were not really seeing the uh the critique of the culture we've talked about this in reference to Wolf of Wall Street and stuff like that. See, I think you're right. I think those two movies do the Wolf of Wall Street argument where it's like, oh, you're seeing all this crazy behavior, but you're supposed to realize it's like, that's not a good way to live.

I think with The Godfather, for me, it feels to me more like a, you know, this is like how this family would have behaved during that time in the mafia. You know what I mean? Just an accurate depiction of a lifestyle, no judgment either way.

I mean, I'm sure there is judgment, but like, but that's how it always kind of came across to me because it seems so not over the top. I mean, there's definitely over the top moments and there are men treating women poorly, but it seemed accurate to the time period. Yeah, but how about that theme song? Yeah, I mean, you have the theme song there. Isn't there somebody, God, I don't know if it was in regards to Godfather or what, but there was some phrase that came out that was going around. The phrase that pays, Godfather.

Yeah, it was the phrase that pays. But somebody was saying like, yeah, that movie is, or that series is about like moments of kindness between despicable people. Godfather? I mean, I don't even think it was the Godfather. Well, I always think. That sure does sound like a good piece of entertainment, doesn't it? It does.

May I submit, Jeff? May I submit Pulp Fiction? Because I think Pulp Fiction is about a code of honor amongst people that we would think would have no morals. Oh, I think this was about Sopranos. This was about Sopranos, the quote that I'm thinking of. Very similar, obviously. But it is interesting to see

the inner workings of the value systems in this sort of upside-down world where greed and corruption and murder and lust are all standard. Just going back to what I said about The Godfather, I think that shows

how I watch movies. It's just like oh whatever's on the screen is what's happening oh that's what that's just because what's what's on the screen is what happened i don't think think too deeply about anything um wait what was the one not godfather that we were also talking about not wolf of of Wall Street, Scarface. We're like, Scarface, I think when you start to watch it, you're like,

wow, here's like a young street hustler who's got a lot of promise and he's compelling to watch. Great performance by the lead actor. And then you see him kind of get like deeper and deeper and deeper into this thing. You're supposed to kind of like lose him. Like,

I think the intention is that like you stop identifying with him at a certain point you're concerned for him like uh like walter white walter white's the best example you lose him and everyone loses him at a different moment at a different point except for me i have him all the way to the end to the very end yeah i lost him in episode one this man's a high school teacher i'm not a skylar job from his wife on his birthday i'm not a Skyler hater. This man got a hand job from his wife on his birthday? I'm not a Skyler hater, but I think they did too good a job in the pilot

of just showing a guy with no agency in his life that I was like, well, I'm with this man to the very end. Yeah, they piled it up a lot. Like he's a loser at work. He's a loser at home. He's a loser. Loser. He teaches all day and then he goes to work at a car wash where his students make

fun of him you're like oh my god uh wait wait wait there's so another good movie of one of those is uh falling down have you seen it the joel schumacher michael douglas movie that's a great one that when i was a kid even then i realized like oh he starts and he's sympathetic and then you start he starts to go a little nutty. And by the end, the side player, the detective, you're rooting for him. And I watched it again recently and I was like, no, Michael Douglas is like xenophobic from like the second scene.

I think his like second encounter, he starts to be a little racist and a little bitter and a little incel-y. Yeah, but maybe the viewers are as well. Here's a question. Could just be of the time. Like Scarface, where people like the character of Tony Montoya, what about the Joker from the Christopher Nolan Batman?

You see posters and T-shirts of that guy all over the place, and he's definitely the fun character to watch, partly because of the performance. but that's a terrible person and i'm i'm sure that people watch that and they're like oh that's kind of cool man he does whatever he wants yeah when i watched the joker i found it empowering and i was like i'm gonna do that type of stuff like and someday the world the world doesn't understand me now but someday they'll all pay i mean it's kind of a fear is that like some people are really kind of into the wrong stuff but i also think it's stupid that there's this rallying cry now for movies to just show virtuous

people having no conflict oh my god yeah right right right that's i mean yes i i don't think people like i think they should have interesting villains because it's more interesting. I don't think they should. There's a great phrase that I think just kind of encapsulates it's like depiction is not endorsement. Right, right, right. Like trust the director, depiction is not endorsement.

We're losing the thread on that a little bit. I was recently on Mama Needs a Movie, a podcast with Anne Ryman and Ryan Perez. I'm talking about Big Night. And I was talking about howeds a Movie, a podcast with Anne Ryman and Ryan Perez. I'm talking about Big Night. I was talking about how once a year there's a viral Twitter thread where someone is like,

I'm sorry fans of Catcher in the Rye, but Holden Caulfield is absolutely problematic and toxic. And then a person who says that is a full moron, but then I see the people in the replies being like,

yeah, yeah, yeah, like arguing at that point. And you're sort of like, well, do you really need to have this fight as well? And then I'm losing my whole morning scrolling down this whole thread. I'm not joining in in but every take is wrong but it's like, you know that J.D. Salinger doesn't write Holden Caulfield and say

like, root for this man unequivocally. He's the OG. He's the unreliable narrator. Narratorian. Bringing it right back. I feel like when Mike was introducing the drink of the week he was a little bit of an unreliable narrator. Narrator. Bringing it right back.

I feel like when Mike was introducing the drink of the week, he was a little bit of an unreliable narrator. In what way? I wasn't talking about keto then. You're a phony. Yeah, Mike, you're a phony. Yeah, you're a phony. I'm phonying in this episode.

Stop. All right. Can we get to our final thoughts, please? Yes. Please. This is an order again.. Stop. All right. Can we get to our final thoughts, please? Yes. Please. This is an order again. Me too. Me too.

Now, I feel like because there's such discrepancy in the recipe, if I went to a bar and said, give me a Godfather, they might not do one-to-one. I feel like I'd have to say one-to-one. I would say scotch and amaretto, please. And they say, hmm, weird. And you say, yeah, do one-to-one. I feel like I'd have to say one-to-one. I would say scotch and amaretto, please. And they say, hmm, weird. And you say, yeah, I'd do one-to-one. I'd say, make me a cocktail I can't refuse.

Even though this is on the IBA, or even though French Connection is on the IBA, I'm not confident you could walk into a bar and say give me a Godfather or give me a French Connection, and those people would know what you're talking about. They might hand you back a book or a DVD. Stop. how many cocktails there's you could say that with beers and wines but how many cocktails can you say if you were in a normal bar go ahead how many cocktails can you just say

i think there's only like 10 yeah i know what know what you mean. I feel like we had this conversation before. But yeah, there's... Aside from all the blank and blanks that just say it, you know, whiskey ginger, they would figure it out. But like, I'll have a screwdriver. I'll have a martini. I'll have a Negroni. Spaghetti.

With Prosecco in it. But yeah, right. I think sometimes I'll go out and try to order some of the drinks we've done on this show when I say I want a better version. And I'll go in and be like, hold on a second, because I have to look it up just in case. So what is that? So I can tell them what it is. And is it Negroni Spagliato with Prosecco in it?

You say, hey, how's your night going? You a mule? Huh? You a mule with molasses syrup? Episode 115, jackass! Give me your head. I'd bounce his head off the bar. Jelly remover for photo albums?

I'm back there. Now I'm cleaning out the cash register because I've seen Godfather too many times. Yeah, I did rob the... I was a cadence thief on that. Was that the Stella joke? Jelly remover for photo albums? It's David Wayne.

David Wayne. Is it Stella or is it Wayne-y days? I think that's Stella. I recently, on this very show, we were drinking a drink with cinnamon, probably the Yule Mule. No, that has nutmeg, right? Nutmeg.

It's kind of got whatever you want. It's not real. Maybe Coquito. We were having cinnamon, and I said, the secret ingredient? Cinnamon. And then I got maybe like three different DMs saying, were you referencing Michael Showalter and Stella? And I said, yes, yes i was the secret ingredient cinnamon yeah because the com we all know the shorts and they're classic but the comedy central

series stella was also fantastic and there's an iconic episode called coffee shop where they each open different coffee shops right because they're hanging out at a coffee shop all day at the beginning and they get kicked out but um michaelalter is showing this free drink that he drinks at a coffee shop. And it's just, he's like, have I showed you my free drink? It's cinnamon milk. Here, as I make it, I pour the milk in. And now the secret ingredient, cinnamon. That's the secret ingredient in cinnamon milk.

I need to go back and watch. I feel like I saw those when they came out and then not. Never again, yeah. And wavy days, too. Those are really funny. From what I remember. It's all good. I gotta go see those again.

It's all good. That's our show. Follow us on social media at The Sloppy Boys if you want to see these recipes ahead of time.
