And Tim Kalpakis.

What is up, Mardi Gras stylies? Oh, hey, nice. Oh, hell yeah. I'm a little curious about those two purple lines. It's not a Mardi Gras thing, is it? Those two lines, purple lines, are what I saw on my COVID test. Michael. Showing me a positive. Purple lines are what I saw on my COVID test. Michael.

Showing me a positive. Michael, this is Covfefe round three for you, no? Number three. I can't believe it. Ding, ding, ding. Yeah. Well, I know this one. I know exactly how I got it.

I was going home. Eating a big virus. Yeah. Snacking on the coronavirus. I was going back home for a funeral, actually. Let me tell you about that. It was my uncle, unfortunately, passed away. He was a great guy. My condolences. Thank you. I appreciate that.

He was a big Sloppy Boys fan. Oh, shit. Yeah. And he had cancer at the end, and I zoomed with him a little bit right before the end. He was not doing the best, but still got on the thing.

And the first thing he said to me was, hey, here for the beer. But he would email me and tell me how much he liked the... Yeah, he was great, Uncle Rich. He would email me and tell me how much he liked the videos and the music and stuff. So, RIP. Uncle Rich. Yep, Uncle Rich the videos and the music and stuff. So RIP. Uncle Rich.

Yep. Uncle Rich. Great guy. Rest in power. We love you. Great. Slap it. But yes, my brother was picking me up to go to the funeral.

I met him. I took a train up to Albany and he was coming in, picked me up, and we went all the way across the state. And towards the middle of the trip, he starts coughing. And he's like, oh, yeah, I've kind of had this cough. He's like, but it's not COVID. I was like, okay, cool. And then we got to my parents' house. He's like, you know what?

I'm going to take a quick COVID test. And it was positive. People are so insistent on this thing of like, I'm sick, but it's not COVID. And it's like, and you don't know. He tests at school a lot. You're right. I know that. Because he teaches, so he tests at school.

But every time. We know by now. It's like you're coughing in the COVID era era give it a few days before you go telling everyone it's not but tim every time i'm like it's coveted it's not and every time i'm like it's not coveted it is that's what's so great about covet but it was it was just that thing of like okay well i'm gonna have it soon i'll have it so then what was uncle rich's funeral like a super spreader are more people popping up with it now no i mean i i didn't have it then because i tested because it was just the next day so i uh didn't have it then i just knew it was coming hell yeah i went to the funeral but my brother stayed home he didn't he didn't go and he didn't like expose people to and i more were masking didn't really i stayed for a few minutes and left

damn so you've been isolating what are you watching what are you doing what am i watching He didn't expose people to. And I wore a mask and didn't really. I stayed for a few minutes and left. Damn. So you've been isolating. What are you watching? What are you doing? What am I watching? Oh, I am watching the Oscar movies. Will the Oscars happen?

When does this come out? No. The Oscars happen so much later than I think they always do. The Oscars are, I forget what. They're in June. Yeah, they're June this year. No, I think they're like March 12th. You know what I watched? I watched All Quiet on the Western Front,

and guys, that is a tough one to watch. It's intense. It's intense. I also watched The Banshees of Inosharan. Okay. What? I'm allowed to do the accent if I've seen the movie? Yeah, you are

And then I watched a movie called Pinocchio And another one that was, I didn't think I'd like Which Pinocchio? We talked about this Yeah, this is the Guillermo Guillermo Yeah, Guillermo's doll Pinocchio, Guillermo's doll And then I watched a movie I didn't think I would like that much,

but I liked was Tar. Oh, yeah. All the movies are so intense. Loves Tar. They're intense. Tar is good. Hey, I'll tell you what. When I was one scene into Tar, I was like, oh, no, Timmy.

This is one of these movies. Long, talky scenes, bad acting. And then the acting got better. The scenes got faster. Bad acting. Everyone's saying how she's like the best timmy timmy started swallowing the popcorn faster and faster you know what i i got great learned about you tim remember the other day uh the other podcast you were like oh you know that uh beethoven's fifth or whatever it starts just uh it doesn't start

on the one it starts on the upbeat that's like one of the first things Tarr talks about. I brought that up because I said I saw this in Tarr. Oh, I didn't know you said you saw this in Tarr. Yeah, he wasn't passing that off as original Calpacus info. I've been pondering the works of Ludwig von. When I saw it in Tarr, I was like, damn, he's just pulling stuff off of Tarr. That bastard. I thought he was so smart.

Oh, he gets everything pulling stuff off of Tar. Bastard. I thought he was so smart. Oh, he gets everything from Tar these days. That is embarrassing, though, when you say something and then the other person hears the same NPR thing you just heard. I know. Well, that's the thing. We all get the same news feeds and stuff that it's all just pinged back and forth. Yeah, this is why I don't listen to the daily because I assume someone will tell it to me. Yeah. I still don't know what the Chinese balloon

was all about. I'll fill you in. Also, Mike, I love Tar, and I'm not going to spoil anything, but I love the ending and then I did a little googling about it. Did you fully understand the ending? I don't want to ask questions because, okay. No spoilies.

Okay. It's novel. Oh. But a fake story, Tard. I mean, fictional character, right? Fake story. Fake person. There's somebody.

Yeah, I think there's a loose. But yeah, you're right. Fake. Fake story. Just give it to him. Fake story. It's fake to him. Fake story. It's fake. The whole thing is fake.

Okay, enough tar talk. Jeff's back from the Bahamas. How was it? Bahama Jeffy. That sand and that surf. It was very good. White beaches, turquoise water as far as the eye can see. Oh, I know.

That picture you sent us, that's the nice type of water. Dude, it's like science fiction or something it's it's too paradise like it looks man-made yeah but somehow there's this beach where you're it's hip deep water not like super cold and you can wade out there for like half a mile not super cold not warm not not like it's not like a warm, but it's quite pleasant. And you can just float around and like, you could go out like half a mile and then you hit a sandbar and you can walk around.

It's just like the most, it's like a lagoon or like a wading pool. Cool. Damn. We got to move down there. Oh, yeah. So I went to visit my parents who were staying down there. I see you applied the sunscreen. You didn't get burnt out.

I did. I did. I diligently reapplied when but when i was flying out it said that the forecast was going to be three days of rain oof and then it only turned into like uh a day and a morning of rain and then the rest sunny beach let me guess you got one of those raindrops right in the head, huh? Yeah. Big fat rain. Splash. Ate a lot of fish, drank a lot of beers. What do you drink down there?

A Presidente? What's the drink? The local Bahamian beer is called Kalik, and there's a Kalik light. It's K-A-L-I-K, and then there's also one called Sands. I actually preferred, they do Rattlers down there a lot now. Oh, what's that? Is that like a grapefruit beer? Exactly right.

Oh, yeah. It'll be like basically half a beer and then like some grapefruit juice. There was a time when Rattlers in our like friend circle was a big. Stiegel? The Stiegel Rattlers? Yeah. Yeah, Rattlers. I don't like them.

They're lighter ABV. The Rattlers and like the pineapple carts and stuff like that, I don't like them. They're lighter ABV. The Radlers and the pineapple carts and stuff like that, I don't drink them out at a bar at night, but if you're on a hot island during the day, give me a Radler. Here's what you do. You go to the Bigfoot Lodge. Right? You go to the Bigfoot Lodge.

They have the big tall boy, Stiegel Radlers. I believe they're grapefruit, which is a lower ABV, right? And Stiegel is a German-sounding name. i don't usually associate grapefruits with german well radler seems like a german word as well sure jeff you've got some explaining to do but here you go you take that low abv can you say hey give me a shot of fucking tequila and you pour it right in there. You kick it right back up. That's good. Kind of like a Paloma situation going on down there. Yes, that's right. That is why you rule the bar scene, Jeff.

That's why I rule. That's why you're a hero on the bar crawl. You're the bar crawl hero. I wish it was true what they say. I'm not the bar crawl hero. It's true what I say. Well, I say it and everyone's like, no, he's not. They're like, you are.

I was like, no, I couldn't be. All right. Duh. Me? We did a good bar crawl the other day when you were around. Didn't we? Hmm. I don't know if we did.

I'll cut that part out. Who was at the bar crawl where we went to? Tim, you were there. Oh, yeah, the Roost. Yeah, Tam O'Shanter, Roost, and Hilo. Yes. That's a good string. We didn't even make it to Bigfoot.

You couldn't. We were barfing and asleep. Do you guys remember last week on the pod I said, oh, I have something to correct or apologize for. Yes. I couldn't remember. It was killing me. And my scrambling brain,

though this will keep you up more nights when you hear what it is, it occurred to me it wasn't something Slopheads were correcting me on. It wasn't something I've been DMed about, but it was just the general feeling of shame. I was like, I'm carrying around shame about the podcast and i remembered what it was in the godfather general quality the general quality which i love um the godfather episode of our show that is amaretto and scotch and when i made my godfather i poured on the rocks amaretto and i reached for sometimes if i don't buy a bottle jeff will drop me off like a little a little side bottle of

something he's poured for me and i grabbed one of those little bottles and went smells smoky that must be a pd scotch and i poured it I drank it. And remember I liked the Godfather and I said, Ooh, it really pings and pangs around your mouth. Really? Yeah. Really complex. It was mezcal.

No. Wow. Well, you can't be blamed. It's mezcal and scotch. Yeah. But, and yeah,

but, but it just makes me think that I still, to this day have not had a Godfather. So I please, if you're a, if you're a slop head, delete that episode from your phone. but but it just makes me think that i still to this day have not had a godfather so i please if you're a if you're a slob head delete that episode from your phone um it's uh it's tainted but then the other night i was out at a bar in hollywood and i said hey maybe i'll get a godfather's though they never properly had a godfather and i order um i say the guy hey can i get a And I order, I say to the guy, hey, can I get a fucking... Scotch and DeSorono?

Can I get a DeSorono and... Can I get a DeSorono and whiskey? Did he leave and come back? Can I get a DeSorono? Do you remember The Well? We used to go there way back. Yeah, yeah, The Well. It's still alive and kicking.

And not exactly, not like a mixology place. the well we used to go there way back yeah yeah the well it's still alive and kicking and uh and uh not exactly not like a mixology place although i did go to the varnish the other day and that's fantastic but anyway back to the well you said all this to the bartender yes i said to him dude i want a de serrano and whiskey on the rocks and he said okay and he comes back with a decent runner on the rocks and a whiskey on the rocks two drinks and uh handed them to me and i was with mookie and he already had a drink so this bartender thought i was that ballsy to just have to be double fisting and one of them a sweet drink and one of a so i still i i i drank down one of them and i poured them together but i've still not had a proper you know what you do godfather tim i we got famous grouse for one of the cocktails

that's like a smoky pd scotch and you know it was hanging around my bar for a long time because it's not really my normal steez but um today i had to pick up a brand new Di Serono just to keep making these Godfathers. I'm loving them. Ooh, that makes me happy. It's very funny. Isn't that when you have to buy a thing like that? You're like, I thought I would have this forever. I'm getting to the end of my Luxardo,

and I was like, I thought I'd be buried with this fucking bottle. Man, when we finish the Galliano, oh my God. That's what we're doing with this podcast. The Piss Spike Bell. Well, that's pretty good shit chat. Man, when we finish the Galeano, oh my God. That's what we're doing with this podcast. The piss spike fell. Well, that's pretty good shit chat.

Yeah, but it's got the sicky-sweet flavor of a monster. Yeah, so the taste you don't like and the over-sweetness, but I'm looking to see if there's taurine, and I don't think so. I think that it's basically just saying what was once an energy drink is now

Rockstar. I party like a Rockstar. Oh, no. I was just thinking about... You know those phrases we all say that like...

Yeah, like party like Rockstar. You talk about the community chess stuff. Rockstar for me is one of those like, okay, Rockstar. It's like, you're such a Rockstar. Dude, it's the worst. This is my Rockstar. Especially if somebody,

like a rich person on vacation be like this is our rock star this is manuel he's been showing us around the whole resort you're crushing that's what rock stars do mick jagger we show you around the hotel yeah rock star when we were first applying to jobs in la which was like prime time for people throwing around rock star in like 2005 through 6, 7, 8. So many job listings were like looking for a Rockstar assistant. A Rockstar doesn't call in orders to Jones on 3rd. A Rockstar loses his lunch, not ordering it.

Thank you. For you. Thank you. Now, I got to say, while we're talking about booze news, I'm getting a good look at you, Tim. I'm getting a really good look at you. And those rumors about you looking like Pedro Pascal are right on. Spot on.

The rumors, you're confirming the rumors? The rumors are true. He looks like him. Are we all caught up with Last of Us? No. We are. I won't tell anything for you, Jeff. They drive around a lot. Whoa. I know. I won't spoil anything for you, Jeff. They drive around a lot.

Whoa. I know. Well, yeah. Oh, whoa. Mike not a fan of the Zababovers, huh? I'm giving you a hard time. I didn't see the first two, and the only one I saw was the third one,

the fourth one so far. And the third one was obviously a departure from the main story, so I was like, well, what's this? I don't know. These are not the people I see on the posters. then uh yeah you know the fourth one okay i'm getting into it i'll watch i'm gonna finish watching it the fourth one got you i felt like i well no no the fourth one did not get me but i feel like i've watched two of them and now i gotta how many do you think there are you're in how many How many are there, Jeff? Got to be 10, 12. I could do 10. The next one looks like it's pretty exciting too.

Gets pretty exciting. I don't like, I got trouble. I like watching the next week on, but I don't like watching that inside look after. You know, you just barely finished a show and the creator is talking about how they created them. Like, let me simmer for a second let me have my for my own opinions agreed and and i don't want to you know i'm going

to get a bunch of shit online hey hanford doesn't like the popular show i didn't see the first two okay i'm not going to go back and watch them so that's why it's taking me a little while to get into the show um i would i i think it's like hey you got to give it up for HBO to have White Lotus and The Last of Us back to back. Two Mondo shows, two different audiences. I'm more of a White Lotus guy. I'm watching them both. But isn't that crazy? This network, they own Sunday Night, man.

Well, they used to. I hate to break it to you. Remember, we used to watch Curb and Flight the concords and uh don't forget oh yeah and don't forget that no one on earth watched earth's biggest movie star had a show called ballers for 20 seasons and uh starring the rock and just nobody watched it isn't that so weird on hbo too because usually i hear like if I think about shows like that I'm like oh it must be on Showtime the network I don't get. You're right. That does seem

like that's HBO's Showtimist show. Yeah. I'm sure Showtime passed but imagine finding out that like Tom Cruise had a little TV show that nobody watched. It's so weird. But life is weird and I guess it's time to wrap up Booze news well let's wrap it up all right very good i'm so excited to hear about the drink of the day

the d o the d well you guys recall that um this week's episode was uh mardi gras stylies yes it was slightly overshadowed by the covid but we're gonna push past that yeah yeah well mardi gras is this tuesday fat tuesday and here on the pod we like to around mardi gras have a sazerac or a hurricane and this time we're going down to new orleans for a different type of drink aka brandy crusta you've had crusta crusta rhymes had not had when i hear crusta i'm thinking crustacean i'm thinking lobster roll me too you serve this thing in a nice lobsters hollowed out lobster shell that sounds a little sick tim but i'll go with it. Is this a shellfish? You're wrong, but guess what the name is.

The crusta. Why crust? The crusty sugar? Yes, the sugar-encrusted rim of the drink. There you go. It really paints a picture of that word crusta. Yeah? Crust. It's a good word, too.

Your mouth makes kind of a crust. Crust. It's a good word, too. Your mouth makes kind of a crust. Crust. That's an onomatopoeia. That's nice. Crust. Sizzle. Ramp. Ooh, crash.

Ooh, honk, honk. They're all great. So, look, there are different crustas of course gin whiskey for example but brandy is the big one um that that was big back in the day we're gonna talk about this is an old old old drink and i've just told you where that name comes from and you're probably thinking like oh hey well that's what's most significant about this drink is the crust of if there's one notable thing to know about the brandy crust that's probably that crusted rim right wrong oh you are dead wrong because here's what's significant and here's what you should know about this ancient old drink you don't hear about too much anymore the brandy crusta is the first cocktail to have citrus in it. No.

The first cocktail to have citrus in it? You got to be kidding me. Is that real? Jeff, you're a lime freak. This is a history of your people here. Basically, like way back, really old days, in the 1800s, there were cocktails in the old-fashioned way, as Mike taught us in our episode about the old fashion where it

was like a little bit of liquor a little bit of bitters sugar sweet and it's a short glass um and then that's a cocktail and of course separately elsewhere there were punches which we learned you know coming from like grog stuff, daiquiri type drinks where it was like rum, lime, sugar that started on boats. To keep scurvy away. Exactly. So it was like a boat thing. And then taverns in New York were serving it too. But with punches, it was like you'd make a big batch

and you'd like be ladling it out warm and people would be drinking it in the colonies or something. But it's very different from a cocktail. Okay. But in the 1850s, there was a guy in New Orleans, an Italian guy named Joseph Santorini. And he said, hey, I'm going to put a little lemon in my cocktail. And I think ice was kind of all the rage too like ice in a cocktail oh man that's kind of exciting okay so this is so early on they're just barely

coming up with this stuff they're barely coming up with this stuff but he he puts lemon juice into a brandy cocktail and that's bonkers nobody had done it and he does it at the city exchange and the jewel of the south these bars in new orleans and gadouge it's a hit it kind of we don't know about the brandy crusta but it becomes the sidecar which we do know and we've done on the pod and the sidecar begets the daisy and the daisy kind of becomes the margarita and holy shit now we got citrusy cocktails and uh we done the day uh no but we talked about it in the margarita episode so this is like this drink is like moses thank you it'll part the um red sea of your um saliva in your mouth i'll tell you i don't think

you need to go that far. I think it just means both Moses and his drink involve liquids in their stories. Yeah, that's where I was. Thanks. Moses was in a little basket on a river. Well, no, just the sea thing you were talking about. It's just that they're both

involving liquid. No one ever talks about, if I ever write a Moses movie, I'm going to start with the basket in the river scene. Yeah. And then I'm going to end with the part of the Red Sea thing. And I'm going to have them turn to camera and say, all my life, water has been present.

Except for when I went up to the top of Mount Sinai and got those two tablets. Or the 40 years I spent in the desert. I forgot about 40 years. There was a lot of not water between the first two. We had some water. There had to have been some water to survive, but yeah, you're right. Not much.

Maybe just amend the line and say most of my life I've dealt with either a ton of or a little bit of water. Well, that's getting wordy. I might change it to a text scrawl of the screen that says, during certain parts of his life, water was plentiful, whereas others' water was in lower supply. Let's see where and when I give you the Moses story.

But I wish I had some of that water for that burning bush, put out that bush. The burning bush spoke to him, I think. Yeah, but you see a burning bush, you think, if I had some water, I'd splash that thing. Right, but I think, okay. Well, we can discuss this. This is off-pog talk. I want to do a religious studies with you two.

Yeah. We should do a Patreon episode on Moses and his waters. Moses and all his waters. Mike, you could start tutoring us Sunday school. Moses, man of water. That's the modern cool version of it. Man of water. Or lack thereof.

Sometimes. Moses, colon, man of water, colon, or lack thereof. Okay. moses colon man of water colon or lacto okay uh the brandy crusta is a iba cocktail what's one of the unforgettables because it's very very old here's the recipe folks 52 and a half milliliters of brandy 52 and a half usually if it's that specific usually it's like rounded down from ounces so an ounce is 30 was is that an ounce and two-thirds as long as there's a reason and the reason is you okay seven and a half milliliters of maraschino maraschino luxardo liqueur one bar spoon curacao nice uh 15 milliliters fresh lemon juice you know the big important citrus one bar spoon simple syrup

two dashes aromatic bitters wow i realized i didn't look that up but i do have that thank god that's not just angostura or peychaud's aromatic i mean that would be more peychaud's technically there's a i have like a fee brothers bitters bottle that just is called aromatic bitters but well peychaud's is not angostura peychaud's is aromatic right but i'm thinking i think that there's a whole different bitters that's that's neither pe Peychaud's is not Angostura. Peychaud's is aromatic, right? I think that there's a whole different bitters that's neither Peychaud nor Angostura, but I'll report back when I taste this. Okay, great. Method. Mix together all ingredients with ice cubes in a mixing glass and strain into prepared slim cocktail glass.

Garnish. into prepared slim cocktail glass. Garnish. Rub a slice of orange or lemon around the rim of the glass and dip it in pulverized white sugar so that the sugar will adhere to the edge of the glass. Yeah.

I like that. Adhesive. Carefully curling, carefully curling, place the orange or lemon peel around the inside of the glass. That's kind of complicated, folks. But if you Google it, you'll see the IBA has a picture. It's a little curl of the rind inside the lip of the glass.

It looks cumbersome. Yeah. Looks kind of weird. I wasn't prepared for so many ingredients in my mixing glass. It looks like a cool looking drink it's it looks like a sort of yeah you know you go to a fancy restaurant they just curl the uh stuff just so i don't know what i'm saying go ahead well and your your orange rind your lemon rind needs to be the entire circumference of the lemon it looks like yeah that's kind of it's a big ass right

so wait no ice pulverized white sugar is funny of the lemon, it looks like. Yeah, that's kind of weird. It's a big-ass rhyme. So wait, no ice? Pulverized white sugar is funny. Yeah, wait, what was all my ice talk? Oh, yeah, no ice. Mix all together. Oh, wait, but yeah, you... You're stirring and straining? You're stirring and straining, yeah.

Interesting. I can't wait to get into it. Do you want to leave these suckers with the ads and we'll go make our drinks? I love it. Guys, I'm't wait to get into it. Do you want to leave these suckers with the ads and we'll go make our drinks? I love it. Guys, I'm not going to make the drink tonight because I'm having COVID. But I'm going to drink, and I've been drinking these a ton lately, orange Gatorade. Wow, that's good.

You can report back. Because you guys are doing an orange thing, so I wanted to make sure I had an orange thing going too. All right, great. All right, great. All right, folks. We'll see you back here in a jiffy. I don't want to say jiffy. Jiffy.

Folks, we'll see you back here in a minute. Just say a jiff. Like the peanut butter? Just say we'll see you back here soon. Folks, we'll see you back here soon. Soon. Soon. Soon. Soon.

Soon. Soon. Soon. Soon. Folks, we'll see you back here soon. And we're back with brandy crustas in hand. Woo-hoo. Took me a while. You'll notice a little something about mine. Blue Curacao has turned your drink slime green yeah i fucking crust on the edge though nickelodeon ass brandy would you use

lemon there or uh or you got lemon jeff lemon also i didn't have like the i didn't have the skinny mouth cocktail glass so i just have this like big donut of rind just sitting in the middle me too i switched to like this kind of tiny rocks glasses smart smart shit fuck all right let's try this stupid drink this took forever to make i'm already kind of mad at it sip time hmm who's zippy yeah zippy also i i really sugared this rim i don't know if like i really yeah i sugared the shit out of it really dunked it well it's a pretty dry cocktail otherwise i i read that the the the maraschino was added later and became part of the modern recipe and it's funny because i'm mainly like getting maraschino yeah same they could have uh chilled out a bit um but the orange gatorade is good

is this is this gonna keep me up all night gatorade yeah the electrolytes oh yeah zip me up do you have that thing where you um I associated lemon-lime Gatorade with being sick, so I lost the taste for that flavor specifically. That's funny. I always love in Gatorade when you say, there's something funny to me that electrolytes is plural, because when you say a drink has caffeine or taurine or sugar, but when you say Gatorade has electrolytes, I picture there's like three or four little chunky electrolytes floating around in there. And they're like little balls of sunshine. You chew it. Oh, I got one! That's funny because I do have a

picture in my mind of what electrolyte is too, but it's not that. It's like little light kind of zipping all around. Like electricity, but little bits of them, particles of them, but a lot. Electrolytes are just like salt, right? It's electrolyte.

It's electrolytes. Depends on how many electrolytes we talk in here. Baker's doesn't. Hold on. Let's do a real concerted sip here because this is a weird drink. I'm swayed by the smell. Even though it has lemon juice in it

the orange rind is giving me a lot of smell like an old fashion giving smell it's so strange it's stiff what a strange taste I'm very I wish I had done this one because I was looking forward to it when we go to New Orleans oh yeah

the Luxardo really takes me to like when I taste the Luxardo really takes me to like, when I taste the Luxardo, I think of the Hemingway Daiquiri, but in this one, it all kind of combines to be like, it's very rindy because there's that orange rind there. Luxardo makes you taste like

you're eating like the pith of a citrus fruit. Also, it has this weird quality where it feels like the glass is cold, but the drink is warm. Yeah, mine too. I don't know how this happened. That is a lot of Ryan there.

You're supposed to do the whole thing. That's crazy. My glass is freezing and my drink is scorching hot. There does seem to be like the glass and the drink are not on the same page. They did not understand the assignment um i it's funny that we're both getting this would be a good one though to get it up you know i always say this but a good one to get at a professional place because it seems like it's a little bit involved we're gonna go to the hometown baby we're gonna get the real deal oh for that tour we're gonna go on get

your tickets here's what people don't realize, you love us for this cocktail pod. You don't know that we're a band and we're a good band. And we're about to go on a really good tour. And the first night of our tour happens to be our 10th anniversary as a band. And we happen to be playing in New Orleans. And we're going to get some brandy crusts and we're going to get drunk. And if you haven't seen this, you probably think, you know, their podcast is a little sloppy.

The band's probably kind of sloppy. No, no. Tight. We don't care about the podcast. No. We don't like it. We don't listen to it. We're a band.

We try hard with the songs. We play them real good. Yeah. That's a good Gatorade. I'm liking this drink, but it doesn't have the opportunity to get... I mean, it can get better as I get drunker, but with no cubes in there, it's got nowhere to go. It's all downhill. Wouldn't you like for this drink to be a little meltier?

Yeah, I sure would. Now describe, is it a strong flavor or is it a... What is going on? Here's the thing. Oh, I took a little sip of aromatic bitters, guys, and it's very holiday cinnamon nutmeggy. Yeah. Oh, that's not what I was picturing. My Peychaud's is just aromatic.

Oh, but you have like the pink, like the red Peychaud's, right? Yeah. That's a New Orleans classic. And it's like spicy, a little bit of a licorice- new orleans classic and it's it's like spicy a little bit of a licoricey thing going but it's spicy yeah could you mike i would describe this as if you if you remember our sidecar episode sidecar is sort of a classic sour in that it is cognac lemon juice and triple sec so this is essentially the same drink because as cur juice, and triple sec. So this is essentially the same drink because it has Curacao instead of triple sec.

But what it adds is the bitters and the maraschino. So it's got a little stank on it. It's a stanky side. Maraschino isn't my favorite. No, it's the taste of the stems and the sticks of the cherry tree. I don't know if I'd like this drink. I don't know if I'd like this drink. I don't know if I'd like this drink. Oh, you know what I meant to say before when I was talking about just I wasn't doing this drink?

We had somebody recently on our Twitter, one of the slopheads, say they're taking sort of a break, slowing down from drinking. And I got to say congrats to you. And that's great. Because you don't have to drink you don't have to drink orange gatorade mike how is it oh it's great uh it's orangey it's cold it's like the uh five others i've had this week you can stop drinking but don't stop listening to the show exactly we. We love all listeners. We hate all drinkers.

It's a lifestyle podcast. We're going to run out of IBA cocktails, but it's a lifestyle podcast. Right, right. It's a show about humor and fun. Humor and fun. We drink so you don't have to. Don't you get it? Right, right, right. Good.

Are you guys excited? Now, I feel like i run my mouth about new orleans all the time on this podcast i brag about my 17 mile saunter i'm talking about all the food and drinks i've had there in actuality i've only been there twice it's just that i raised a lot of hell right i love it i had four days there to myself and then went back working on a tv show where we'd sneak out at night and uh get crunked but i'm excited for you guys to to see it and do you have we're playing it at what club are we playing at gaza gaza gaza gaza which i've heard about i've told people about that like where we're playing they're like oh that's a cool place tim there's just one thing i'm planning on doing just me when i get there

um uh it's an 18 mile saunter fuck i'm not invited no breaking the record as you as you said 17 mile even 18 mile that's a that's a far distance to be walking yeah that's kind of alone saunter that's why it's that's why it's notable mike i know but that's a real one to do it with no sense of urgency it's a real that's a real long way um i i went for a walk i went for a walk with our friend mitch of doughboys fame the other day and he said uh hey can we let's go to 7-ele. I want to get a sugar-free Gatorade Frost. So it ties in with the Gatorade, basically. He's big on Gatorade.

He's always drinking Gatorade. Yeah, he was really big on those fierce strawberry for a while. That's what it was, fierce. Uh-huh. Yeah. See, I like the purple one, but where I was ordering from, they- What's that, Glacier Frost? Glacier Freeze?

just purple you say I think it's frost I think it's purple purple please purple please I called up I called Seamless up

I said, if I need purple please I'm sick bring it directly to my door let's be honest we all know Red Gator's the best way to go Fruit Punch, Red Gator by a mile or red power. If you're in a pinch, if you're in a pinch,

Hey, in, in the Bahamas, they had this fucking drink called Bahamas. Goom Bay punch. Whoa. And it has a weird looking can. And on the side of it,

it says Coca-Cola Bahamas. Okay. And there are, I i'm gonna pull up a pic and there are cocktails made from it here it is oh i've seen that that was cool that's a really cool can. I was like, what does that look like? What is it, like Hawaiian Punch? No, it's like Mountain Dew colored. Wow. That can, the graphic on that can looks like in like the 80s and early 90s when people would have like pictures on their wall from like museum exhibits. Yeah.

Like advertised like a poster, framed poster of like a museum show. I remember I was in the Baja way back in the day and I saw somebody drinking a canned cocktail, a dark and stormy ginger beer and dark rum out of a can and it blew my mind. I had never, this was in the 90s and I had never seen a canned cocktail before. Now they're plentiful.

That's all you can get. Jeff, did you see the Baja men when you were down there? Well, I noticed that the dogs were out, but I was like... You didn't know who was responsible? Nobody had anything to say about it, and I turned to Courtney. I was going to say, yeah, they didn't take them out, and they just didn't know who. No, they saw the same thing I did, and they wrote a song about it let out by whom whom whom whom

they never got to the bottom of that did they that's too bad that's why they never had another song now mike i asked what you guys are looking forward to your first trip in new orleans jeff says an 18 mile saunter when you think uh because I'll say for me, I've never actually drank a grenade, one of those yard grenades. And I know they're supposed to be super sweet. I love getting the frozen. There's places where you can like serve yourself frozen daiquiris in a big cup and some of them are 151. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 151 oh yeah yeah yeah but I but I I go for like the hurricane

or the 151 daiquiri but I've never had a proper grenade drink we're getting you a grenade

we are getting you a grenade yeah I was gonna say like more so than the other drinks that we've come across that all have

Nolans-ish origins I need a proper hurricane and a proper hurricane glass you know what we're going to

a place that people make fun of me for loving it, but Pat O'Brien's Piano Bar where they invented the hurricane. It's fun as fuck. And the hurricanes are great. Now, you know what I'm looking forward to? You know what I'm looking forward to?

A couple of grilled oysters. A couple? Yeah, baby. I'm into it. It's a big grilled oyster town. You're getting some, dude. I am into it. Baby. Po' boy? Mm-hmm. That's like big grilled oyster town you're getting some dude i am into it baby oh boy that's like a grilled oyster sandwich oh yeah i'll do that let's just walk the length of bourbon

street and you can get a po'boy with uh shrimp or beef or anything you want oh but it's the same we should walk am i lagging on the internet no i hear you check check it's just our it's our chemistry is bad um now that'll be fixing the edits i think what we do is we walk the length of bourbon street and we never stop for a meal and we never you know you just have you have a bite and you keep going you have a drink yeah you never settle in how long is this street that's my big question this isn't the 17 miler is it no it's like one might have to bring my skateboard oh maybe i'll bring my skateboard down would that be cool i could be the skateboarder of new new orleans they've never had one down there it's sort of a different culture mike i don't know if they've ever seen a skateboard before it's not the fact and I suck at it, too, so I could be like the Tony Hawk down there.

I suck at it. Oh, I love to skate, and I suck at it. Hey, who likes to see me do my thing? Oh, I've never seen a skateboard before. Well, get used to it, buddy. I live here now. Now, Tim, and to a lesser extent, Mike, would you change anything about the drink? Dial back to Maraschino.

I love the stuff, but I feel like I am drinking this drink. I like it, but I'm longing for a sidecar that has none of the weirdies in it. Yeah. And for me, I wish mine wasn't blue, but, you know, I only had the one Curacao. What can you do? It's the same taste. It's the same taste. Well, why don't we...

Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, why don't we you know, fix our... Let's do some corrective measures. Please. And we'll come back here and we'll give our final thoughts. Great. I love that! now we're back with round two and our final thoughts on a brandy crusta oh boy is it the top drink in new orleans is it top the other ones is it the best of the bunch the hurricane and the sazerac no way and the view. Ooh. Those were good, the Vucaray.

Guys, you know when we're getting something wrong in the podcast and listeners who know about booze are fuming and foaming at the mouth? Yeah. I feel like I just did that when I was talking about bitters because I looked at my bottle I used in round one that said aromatic bitters and it said old-fashioned aromatic bitters. And it was of cinnamony like for old fashions i guess then i looked at my angostura bitters and it said angostura aromatic bitters and then i looked at my peychaud's and it said peychaud's aromatic bitters yeah so i don't know what to do here it it didn't

say angostura bitters but i guess it's the aromatic bitters of your choice. Right. Interesting. Yeah, I'm seeing here. Peychaud's is the lighter and sweeter of the two with notes of candied cherry, clove, orange, and a distinct bitter finish. Angostura is deeper and more savory. Well, Angostura comes from Trinidad and Peychaud's comes from New Orleans. So I feel like Peychaud's is more appropriate for this drink.

You know what? I just put some cubes in this. Just make it with cubes. Yeah. Use the real smack. I made another round i rolled back the luxardo maraschino to like about a half uh maybe five milliliters and um that stuff permeates huh everything like this is the third drink in a row we've had where there's too much uh cherry wood stick that's what should be the bar spoon that

should be it should be the teeny amount and and you can maybe amp up the curacao and stuff. But this is better. With less of that, I'm liking this better. But I didn't crust my rim this time. It's a very dry, zippy, stiffy without that sugar. So it's a challenging cocktail overall. Don't crust the rim. Well, I'm going to disqualify myself.

I cannot answer if I will have order again. You understand why. Sure. I'll order a Gatorade again. Oh, good. Well, you do have to submit final thoughts regardless of if you... Yeah, my final thoughts on my Gatorade is good not having it again.

Yeah. I would have this again, but I don't care about it. You know, this... Are you going to order it in New Orleans? not have it again. Yeah. All right. I would have this again, but I don't care about it. Ooh. You know, this- Are you going to order it in New Orleans? Yeah, of course. I'll do like one. I would make time for one. Do you like the name though,

Brandy Crusta? Yeah, I do. Yes. I'm a little bummed that mine looks like a Kool-Aid burst, but other than that. That's sad. It's the picture on the IBA is very nice. And Jeff, I got to say,

you know, it's a tough one. It's a tough one to replicate you got a couple of Jack you're supposed to drink like through that big ass rind or what? Yeah it's weird here's the thing they had orange curacao and they had an orange

rind you have a lemon peel in blue curacao so you got it's just a whole different look really it's very it's very it's've got, it's just a whole different look, really. It's very, it's very, it's a bad look. It's urinal-esque. Yeah, it looks like a urinal cake over here. It's not a good look.

I'll tell you what, I wish it tasted a little bit more like this little guy I got prepped. It's a godfather, folks. I'm going into the blowout ready with a godfather. Fuck that. Nice. Very nice. Final thoughts on the Brandy Crusta for me. Here's one. I would

order it again when I'm in the mood for something really dry and not too sweet. I struggle to think of why you would drink this instead of a sidecar, which is a simplified better drink if you like Brandy, orange, and lemon. Focus up.

It's technically absolutely an order again because i know for a fact i'm going to order one again in march when we go to new orleans that's march 31st folks get your tickets now gaza gaza the sloppy boys and dear blanca where can people find these tickets? That's my big question. You go to the Sloppy Boys either on Instagram or Twitter, at the Sloppy Boys. You look at our bios, you go to our link tree and the

Mike, I had the advantage. Full disclosure, I was Googling answers to the Krusty quiz. Well, maybe the answer you'll have for this first one. Dan Castellaneta voices Krusty the Clown. Who else besides Homer does he voice? Flanders. Barney? Barney. No? Flanders. Barney? Barney.

No, Flanders is somebody else. Jeff, you get it. Great. Barney. And I worked there, and I sat in on the records, okay? I know. That's why I'm so surprised. Wait, there are more than even that, though, are there not?

Oh, there's tons. There's tons. Yeah, yeah. I love it when there's like a rando character that's just totally Homer's normal voice. Yeah, I like when it's Mo. Okay. Stop. In the Simpsons episode, A Star Is Burns,

Springfield holds a film festival. On one of the finalists of the festival is a short called Football in the Groin. Castellaneta voiced Hans Molman. Well, let me just get the question out. Which Dan Castellaneta voiced Hans Molman. Well, let me just get the question out. Which Dan Castellaneta voiced character stars in this short? Hans Molman.

Hans Molman. Yeah, Timmy got it. There you go. Alright. This is definitely the Krusta quiz. What animated guest star joins the Simpson family in the aforementioned episode? Oh, uh, uh, uh, fucking...

Jay Sherman. God fucking damn it. Oh, Timmy got it. Oh, god damn it. Fuck. The critic, Jay Sherman. I could have had it. Jay Sherman.

Jay Sherman. Guys, if they ever did, like, a gritty reboot, it would be called Jay-sh. Oh, that would be cool. In the Simpsons episode, a star is Burns. Who wins the film festival? Barney. Barney.

Barney. I said Barney. I gotta give it to Tim. He said Barney. He didn't... What? Bernie is not a character. He didn't say Barney three times before he said Barney? No, but you got Barney for the first one, Jeff.

I knew it. You knew it. I've known the answers to all these questions. His film was called Pukahontas. Right. Who does the voice for Barney Gumbel? Dan Caslanetta. Tim got it.

He's Italian, much like Josephellaneta. Tim got it. Yes. Fuck. He's Italian, much like Joseph Santorini, Joseph Santini, who made this drink. Hey, very nice. Dan Castellaneta got his start in television on what British actress's show? Tracy Ullman. Fuck my whole life. Fuck everything from now on, and I'm serious. Orange and lemon are possible garnishes for the brandy crusta. Which of these garnishes' color is closer to the skin tone of the Simpsons?

Lemon. Jeffy, got it. Closer. Next question. What orange snack and drink does your humble quiz master like cheese eat together orange juice that's right orange juice and cheese it together eat those together i mentioned it on the pod it's gross i don't listen to the pod i'm not a fan i I'm more into Come Down. Okay.

This is the last. Well, wait a minute. Hold on a second. We got Jeff is up five to three. What? I mean, I'll take it. I'm surprised. You're up five to three if I'm doing my math right.

Of course, I've got COVID, so who knows what's going on here? Fortunately for you, Tim, this is a three-point question. Perfect. That could be great for me. That could win it for you or send Jeff over the edge. What does that mean? Over the edge? Is that like, is this like a brandy crusta?

You ever hear the, uh, the Aerosmith song living on the edge? Okay. If I get knocked over the edges, is there a chance that I can come back from the edge? No. No. If you, you, you win. If you get the next one right you win what's the mortal combat rules that's right that's right okay final question for everything in the myth in the mr plow episode of the simpsons who was the plow king homer simpson no no no he was mr plow the plow king was blanders no you mean who voiced it or who was

now who the character was barney that's right jeffy won the whole thing and i feel like mr plow is iconic and here i am not even remembering that it's weird barney came up a lot in this quiz, the Krusta quiz. Yeah, it's funny. So there's only one mention of Krusty the Clown early on. Was that the pivot to just kind of send us into? Well, there was that one question about the lemon and orange garnishes. Yeah, but I don't like,

and this is not a knock on you at all, Mike, but like, yeah, I don't like the Krusta quiz for that reason. It's called the Krusta quiz and it's all Simps all simpson stuff and that's just i'm it's not my preference i would have liked some more crusts eat the crust first pizza hut that type of thing oh yeah sure and counterpoint i actually do like the quiz you like the quiz unlike my friend tim here um i like the quiz a lot and i used to get a little more annoyed when the quiz. You like the quiz. Unlike my friend Tim here. I like the quiz a lot. And I used to get a little more annoyed when the quiz didn't have to do so much with the drink and it would just be like a Simpsons quiz.

You remember the early days of the pod? I would sort of bristle at that sort of behavior. Now, I actually am taking it in stride and I think that's a lot of growth. Well, I think so too. For me and for the pod. Jeff, honestly, it's post-pandemic and you've kind've kind of chilled out yeah and i think the pod has found its footing and early on i was a little worried about like what are we doing here yeah and the cool thing about the podcast is people have been saying the the a lot of people they write in and they say you know i love this

show tim is pretty much my boy at this point i love Tim and I love his two co-hosts. And I love hearing that type of thing. I've been getting emails recently that are like, that's just a point you wanted to make, Tim? This guy likes to hear himself talk about himself. I've been getting emails the opposite. They say, Mike, you are not a boy of mine. I do not want you on the podcast anymore. You're not my boy. No.

I get those emails almost... We wrap up here and I'll open my inbox and I'll get a bunch of them. That sucks. Alright, that's it. That's our show. Follow us on social media at The Sloppy Boys where you can see these recipes ahead of time. And hey,
