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. Oh, ouch. And Tim Kalpakis. What is up, British stylies? All right, Mike. Mike, what's Kalpakis? What is up, British stylies? All right, Mike. Mike, what's wrong?

What? What? Oh, right, because I went, ouch. Well, here's what happened. I was getting the ingredients for the drink out of my, I had some of them in the fridge, and while I was doing that, I was also microwaving a plate of leftovers

to eat before the thing went. You're like an octopus in the kitchen. And I bent down, I went up, and I didn't close the... I have my microwave on top of the fridge. Yeah. And I went right up. I went right up, boom, head into the corner of the door of the microwave. It hurt.

I thought I was going to be bleeding. I'm not bleeding, but I am a little hurt. You got a big old welt on the old dome. Big welts coming. And yeah, it's one of those, you know when you hit yourself or like hurt yourself like that, you're more just like, what did I fucking do that for? Yeah, you do it and you're sort of like, why? The other day I was trying to...

I forgot about this. I have a delivery. I got to... Hold on a second. I meant to bring that up shit this is a this is an on pod delivery um i wonder what it'll be i'm nervous my guess is that it's wings what do you think it is yeah he wings for the blowout perhaps i got a delivery coming myself so this is kind of a view into the future for me jeff you ever have d-Town pizza in LA?

D-Town, no. Detroit style pizza in West Hollywood. Oh, it's good, good, good. I had it last night. What's it doing in West Hollywood? Get it out here. I know. We need more pizza out here and less condos.

Yeah. And I'll tell you, I'm not going to name names, but we have some of the worst pizza on Earth right here. Yes, we do. And some very good pizza as well. Yes. La Luna Truck. Maxamino's my boy.

Okay, he's back. Are you rustling? And kerfuffling? And tussling. Oh, he hit his head on the microwave door again, folks. Oh, sorry about that. All right. Okay, now I was half expecting John Haskell to jump out,

and this was some sort of weird bit. No, it was a medication delivery. Edibles, man. I got uppers, downers, vikies, poppies, rozo boys. Nice. Zoomers, screamers. Yep. I'm going to have a good ass week.

I've been leaning on the claret pretty hard these days. You can probably tell in the old voice. Oh, yeah. I'm grogged. You guys don't... So I live up a few floors. I guess you guys don't live up too far. Jeff, you live up a floor. But like,

if somebody comes to deliver and they say, meet me at the door. It says, meet at the door. Does that mean like, meet at the door you come in at? Or like, my apartment door? The building door. Case by case. Yeah, building door. I went down the stairs

a meter halfway. you should insist they do the walk up yeah the walk of shame well it's also it's like raining outside and i was like this person doesn't want to be doing this at all um i had a help out a little bit if you are you talking about interesting um delivery experiences yeah because i I had a curb your enthusiasm worthy miscommunication yesterday. Oh boy. I ordered

D-Town pizza and I was very excited for it to arrive. I was tracking the door dasher as he was driving. That's how excited I was. He's coming to my street. I go stand outside outside i don't normally do this but i really wanted to eat some of that square pie then i get out there and i see a car kind of like rolling down my block and and looking around and i wave i'm like hey it's me and then the person kind of gets out of the car and i'm like yep come on

cam over as the guy walks over to me and uh at the same time another guy rounds the corner on foot with a big stack of d-town pizza for me and i say wait who the hell are you dude identify yourself yeah and it was dave's hot chicken and uh i looked across coming to me also coming to me uh um well i did that when i was in arizona me and uh ben ordered four grub hubs at the same time that's too much wait get back to the main story it's fun when you see the grub hubbers seeing each other hey wait a second you're cheating on me um so the dave's hot chicken guys walks all the way up to me starts handing me dave's hot chicken i say oh no that's dave's hot chicken and then i look across the street i see a neighbor wandering the streets looking for their dave's hot chicken

i say you go over there you come here you're directing traffic it's all meat at my house we're we're eating this all light up cones and i enjoyed cones. And I enjoyed it. So now, yeah, today I'm going to go stand out there and kind of direct all the delivery guys. That's nice. Okay, we got Uber Eats over there. We got Postmates over there. Succession, you guys watching? No.

Yes. Now, Jeff, you've never watched. I've seen the pilot. And Tim, you're in. You're all the way in. Jeff, you don't watch Succession? Why don't you fuck off? Why don't you have another bullshit day at the fuck off company?

Yeah. I've only seen the first episode of this season so far. And it seemed more like made up fuck words, fuck swear words than I was used to. You fuck word. Fuck word? Fuck word. Fuck word, bring me my... Fuck word, bring me my shit. Why do you want to bring your shit?

You want out of the toilet? Well, because fuck word is like a curse word guy. Wait, did you say shirt or shit? Shit. Okay. If I did say shirt, I misspoke. Here's what I did. i started watching the other night when it came out on sunday and uh it's getting a little late i was like i don't want to stay up too late but i gotta start i gotta watch it i gotta be up on what's going on

and i just i must have the last time i watched the last episode of last season. I must have like watched on half on my TV and then half on my computer. Cause it, it was still like it registered my, sorry, my HBO app was like, Oh, you still haven't seen last episode of last season. So I'm watching it.

I make it about halfway through. I was like, I've seen these scenes before. What the fuck is going on here? I went, I got like 35 minutes in. I was like, what the fuck is going on? I I got like 35 minutes in. I was like, what the fuck is going on?

I'm trying to get to sleep here. A lot of these interfaces feel too smart. They're trying to be too smart. And they're like, hey, pick up where you left off. And I'm like, you don't know that I didn't watch the last episode at my friend's place or on my phone or something. I think it's a pain in some cases

to just get to the episode list. Like a lot of these shows, they'll be like, you want to keep watching Sopranos, right? And then they just pick it up where they think you are. Yeah. And I say, no, no, no. Let me control where I start. Yes.

Let me decide. I disagree. I like when they keep track of it because I'll bounce around sometimes from one Apple TV to another. I'm not logged in. I am logged in. I'm in a different account. I don't know where I am.

I need that little red bar picking me right back up where I was. But here's the thing, Tim. I will sometimes just turn my whole TV off and shut everything off, which I think is shutting off the Roku. I do that every night. But I'll go back, and then it's like the TV shut off, but the episode kept playing. But it doesn't happen

all the time. And then sometimes I'm on it's a very freaky thing around here. Oh god. Yeah, it's the whole thing is freaking me out. We'll save it for the Halloween episode. Yeah, save it for Halloween. We don't need that.

Now it's spring. Jeff, remind me about that Halloween thing. Yeah, I will. I'll remind you in late September. Yes, yes. I mean, what the fuck are you talking about? Can we just get on to the booze news, please? I would love that.

Yeah. And I don't support J.K. Rowling, quite frankly. What is that mysterious ticking noise? Hey, guys, did you hear that? Snipe. Snipe. Savarese Snipe. Certain type of news. Snipe. Snipe. Savorous Snipe. Certain type of news.

Snipe. Savorous Snipe. Bip. Bip. Bip. Snipe. Savorous Snipe. Booze news.

Snipe. Bip. Savorous Snipe. What about wrong? Snipe. Savorous Snipe. Booze. Snipe.

Savorous Snipe. Oh, it's the unmistakable sound of Booze News, everybody. Yay! Booze News. Bip, bip, bow, bow, bow. Booze News. It's Booze News, you Daniel Radcliffe enthusiasts. The mysterious bip-bipping noise was sent to us by Sarah Poletti.

And if you have a booze news theme email it to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com well you know you know I love the one who lived Harry come to die Harry Potter

you know maybe I mentioned this before you but you know Daniel Radcliffe is in an episode of digman that i wrote yes oh nice so you might call us collaborators i was in the record hopped on zoom with him hey daniel it's great to collab man maybe i come on one of your things maybe you take me to the wizard shop i heard about this recording i heard he had he kept stopping and he was like, I'm sorry. I know it was explained to me.

Why is he here? I don't like the look of the man in that one square there. He reeks of Hagrid. Does Hagrid smell really good? Oh yeah, Tim.

Hagrid's like a bouquet of a lot of fucking daffodils. I don't know. Oh, those are good-smelling flowers. Let me tell you something I did recently. I'm not proud of this. Is it booze news? Yeah, it's Harry Potter news. I saw an ad for the Harry Potter video game,

and I was like, I wonder what the Harry Potter video game is like. So I went on YouTube, and I watched a playthrough thing yeah the guy a guy was just playing it and uh it was a 45 minute video I didn't watch all of it but I'm I'm sitting there it starts up from the very beginning where you're just like following a guy around these cliffs or something and it got about 10 minutes in I was like what the fuck am i doing here i can't do this i can't i can't be watching somebody else play a boring video game this is nuts a lot of people it's a big industry well that's what was so cool it was like i know i'll be able to find it and boom did but i didn't even scrub through i should have scrubbed through you gotta scrub get to the good parts it's the good stuff get to the good parts with booze news

okay here's the top story nice uh white claw vodka white claw premium no vodka now you're probably thinking oh vodka soda because they put out a line of vodkas you know white white claws very vodka soda-esque but it's a malt beverage and they more recently put out a line of vodkas you know white white claws very vodka soda-esque but it's a malt beverage and they more recently put out actual cans of vodka soda much like high noon uh but no that's not what i'm talking about i'm talking about vodka this was sent to us by uh costco hypebeast on the sloppy boys discord and if you uh want access to the to the discord of the sloppy boys you can chit chat with other slop heads you just gotta subscribe to our patreon and have a blast but um this is uh bottles of vodka we are talking the world's first triple wave filtered vodka filtered three times

using pressure equal to a 30 foot wave it's vodka reimagined for a superior, smoother finish. Best served crashing over ice with soda at sunset. 100% American grain, triple filtered, gluten-free, 40% alcohol, aka 80 proof. We're talking about black cherry vodka. We're talking about mango vodka. Talking about pineapple and good old original premium vodka you've had no i've not heard about this they're going in reverse that's funny that they made a big splash with seltzer and then all the vodkas or everybody else tried to pivot

and get to the seltzer game and they're going the other way they're also brand wise all this surf terminology is funny because i kind of felt like the branding on white claw was like let's claw and it was maybe a little bit skateboardy but it was really more um it's like surf waves like literally like a cresting a cresting wave white claw but but they do not step on that no i mean has anyone said that before no they're has anyone said what i didn't know if that was a known thing in the surf world, like a white claw is the... Well, their logo is sort of like a claw, but it's a wave.

Oh, yeah, yeah. But I didn't know if that was coming from a surf thing. I bet it did. I was kind of just not thinking about it. I thought that logo was a clam. White clam. White clams. Would be good. Clam vodka. It could be was a clam. White clam. White clams. Would be good.

Clam vodka. It could be like a Caesar. Yeah. Yeah. But their TV commercials were basically like a black and white version of Euphoria. A bunch of teens, scraggly hair teens clowning around. Yeah. And now they're kind of going back to be like, it's like drinking a wave, man.

It's a little more like straightforward maybe maybe that gen z approach didn't work for them i don't know i mean they have gen z they have them already so maybe they're just trying something new um and i saw in an episode of euphoria in season two there were white claws and it didn't look like brand placement but they like go into a convenience store to steal booze and it looks like a pack of White Claw or definitely is but they're not even showing off I think what happened because I think I saw something about this I think

what happened is they got so like seltzer they got so big they were like the first of the seltzer wave seltzer wave and then everyone else did seltzer so they now need to like do something else yeah but there's also so many vodka brands too so it's just like getting them a little bit of a head start because like oh

you know white claw well now they do vodka and truly they're they're like value add the the thing that is makes them interesting is their flavors like if the flavors of their vodka is good they will have a product i don't know about this filtered by the pressure of a 30-ton wave or whatever they said. No, that checks out. 30-ton, that checks out. The surf community would understand that. Nobody's impressed by the amount of times the charcoal filter

does its thing anymore. I don't see why they spend any time on that. But if the mango tastes like good mango, I'm buying it. I'll go one step further and i say stop stop filtering uh my vodka i want chunks i want to bite down into a big vodka filter chunk this got pulp in it uh fucking lost my train of thought sorry it can't be too many white claw you can't be blamed here on booze and it's a very special episode, a separate thing I can say is I do like Black Cherry. My go-to White Claw is the Black Cherry flavor.

How about you guys? I tell you, I don't think I've had enough White Claws to really have a favorite flavor. I don't really like seltzers in general. Michael. Yep. Don't you want to fit in with the youth? I know, I know. know I'm over the corner drinking a I don't get excited about the seltzers but I do like crushing 10 white claws on a hot summer day

sure I think it's just the that that like fakey malty flavor yeah that's true but some of them have gotten better like I mean I remember because because during COVID, I tried every brand. I feel like the Corona brand was a standout. I remember you said Topo Chico as well. Ooh, Topo. Corona is the zero-carbo one, so that's why people like that. Ooh, that might be good for me in my keto diet. Oh, God, here we go again.

Hanford gets healthy. How's that going? Have you eaten one carbless food this year? I'm slipping Let's see today I may have done well I had a I had I'm pretty sure I just I had a salad for lunch And I put some meat on top of it

And then nope this morning I had a Fig bar What kind of meat just like cold cut turkey Flopped on top of a salad? It was like cubes, like turkey cubes. Oh. But I had a fig bar this morning. Whoops.

That's a Carbo. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Newton? What kind of fig bar? Newton? It is a... Because that's actually fruit and cake.

Not baked or a nade baked. I can't really see the box, but it's right... I can see it right here. Dang. Good. Strawberry flavored fig bar. Hey, I joined's right. I can see it right here. Dang. Good. Strawberry-flavored fig bar. Hey, I joined a gym. How about that?

How about that for my Hanford Gets Healthy? Doesn't get healthy. When you do it. Oh, wow. Jeff is doing Hanford Gets Healthy. Wow. So what is it? Like he eats some keto every once in a while and talks about it more than he ever has done it?

Sure. And every once in a while and talks about it more than he ever has done it. Sure. And every once in a while runs a marathon without preparing. And this, this weekend I haven't run in a while cause it's been crappy out, but this weekend I was like, all right, I got all Sunday. Let me,

let me go for a run. Like it just never, never came together. That's been my whole life, Mike. Yeah. I'm not an exerciser. So this is new to me.

I went to the gym twice in a row. I went like a Thursday morning and Friday morning. And I'm learning all the machines, all the weird ones, where you strap in your leg and you do a weird thing with your leg that you don't ever do in normal life. And then you wake up the next day and you go, ooh! Because weird little giblets in your leg are sore that you never really get to use.

Jeff, I want you to don't get discouraged if you don't look like the Incredible Hulk the first day. Yeah. Okay, good, because I don't. Oh, man. I don't even look like J. Jonah

Jameson. He's an old man. Who is that? He's what? He's an old man. Never mind. Just a random old man? I don't even look like Stan Lee. Is that too many there for you? There you go. Incredible Hulk reminds me of the phenomenon I have a lot where I'm like,

whatever happened to Mark Ruffalo? That was a good actor. I liked him, but his career fell off. And then you find out he's been in 10,000 movies as a Hulk. I'm just not watching him. Well, is that it for Booze News? Yes. Jesus Christ! Bye, Booze News.

And with Booze News out of the way, we turn our attention to the drink of the day at long last. Ooh! Ah! You might have heard of this one. The official drink of the Chelsea Flower Show, the Henley Royal Regatta,

and of course, Wimbledon. Wimbledon. We speak today of Pim's Cup. Wow. You've had? I've had, yes. Not once have I had. You've heard, though.

I've heard, I've heard. I'm very excited to drink this stuff that looks more like, I thought it would be a gin. Pimms would be a gin because it's English, but it is not. It's like a kind of a digestive gin-based. It is. Well, it's like a dark, it's dark. That's why I was confused and concerned.

Jeff, before you teach us all about it, I've had maybe two Pimm's cups in my life. Both times, daytime at a pub being like, it's daytime. What should I drink? Oh, I know. I'll have this. You know, they do this thing in London where if it's like a nice day and a pub is like full of people and they go there. You know, people in London right after work, they go to a pub and they get a shit house drunk and then they're in bed by 8 p.m um but they you're kind of allowed to spill out into the street even i guess that's

more chill now in the post-covid era what's that and spill your drinks yeah you spill your drink you spill your seed you do whatever you want oh oh but um you're kind of allowed to step out the door of a pub and enjoy the nice weather and be standing on a sidewalk and not get the bobbies don't come after you for open container um and i feel like it was i had it once in london and i've had it at like verdugo or so or or the york or some pub like place around here but i i think of it as a preppy britishy tennessee like a gin and tonic kind of and you're you're right on the money t it's a big british thing it's very um like storied it's been around since like the 1800s over there and it got a second wind in new orleans but yeah it started as like an elixir for digestion, a gin-based cocktail

invented by Pim. James Pim. Hey, Jim Pim. Jim Pim. Jim Pim. This guy owned an oyster bar in 1823, and he started serving spirit-based punches in cups.

He sold it to another dude in 1856 it changed hands several times but at one point it says according to wikipedia at one point pym one of his employees or one of his successors created the first pym's liqueur so it's another one of these like we don't know exactly how it came out but this is an old ass drink It started from Pim and his oyster bar. And say again when that happened? Let's say 1850-ish. Okay. I just missed that.

And then it was designed to be mixed with lemonade and trademarked and commercially released in 1912. So that's when you start to get the bottle that says, Pim's the number one cup by appointment to Her Majesty the Queen. Now, 1912 is the year the Titanic sank. Do you think that could be related at all? Don't know about that. Probably not.

You might notice on the bottle it says the number one cup. Hell yeah. This is Pim's number one we're dealing with. There is also, or at one point there was, Pim's number two, three, four, five, and six. Most of them are not available anymore, but I did a little digging. According to belanet.com, as in like beautiful year, you know, French. The No. 2 cup is based on scotch whiskey. No. 3 cup based on brandy.

No. 4 cup based on rum. No. 5 rye whiskey and No. 6 vodka. All are now phased out with the exception of a limited production of number six vodka and number three brandy which is currently being marketed as pims winter cup similar to mulled wine i just saw here a cup according to the net a cup is like it's like a it's like a a spirit and a soft drink and a fruit. It's a genre of cocktail, I guess. A mixed drink. I'm seeing that the London version, the classic one,

is made to be served with lemonade, their version of lemonade, which is sparkling and clear. And these days they use lemon soda, so your Sprites and your 7-Ups. You ever had Fentimans? They sell it at cap and cork but i've had entenmans at the case at the end of the aisle um fentimans lemonade is it's a fancy victorian lemonade they sell it at cap and cork and it's fizzy oh that sounds yeah dynamite

or like you know you know those italian sodas you get where it's like, ooh, you can make an ice Paloma out of this stuff. Oh, yeah, like a limonata. Well, those are good. But the other one you see a lot of and the one we're going off today that I found at liquor.com is ginger ale. That's kind of the more common one and also the more Nolans one. Love it.

Ooh, that's what I got. Noise. I'm looking up these. This is a drink that has a lot of variations. You're not going to find a standard recipe but if you look online again liquor.com they got the hookup they're telling you to do the following two ounces pims number one half ounce lemon juice ginger ale to the top garnish buckle up folks yeah cucumber slice oh mint sprig oh strawberry huh lemon wheel optional orange wheel also optional but you know i got all of them i'll be above it's gonna be a pool

party in that glass i'm looking at the picture of oh okay yes yes this is sort of uh this is sort of like an everybody get in here drink. It's kind of like a brighter Bloody Mary, one might say. Yeah. Here's how you do it. You build it in the glass. You add the Pimm's and the lemon juice to a highball glass over ice, top with ginger ale, stir briefly to combine.

Leave room for all that garnish. It's going to be like a salad up there. And this is sort of, would you call it a long drink? It's a low ABV sipper in a tall boy. Yeah, yeah. That's what I was going to ask. Yeah, Pimms is not a very licorice liquor, huh? No. I'm seeing

here it's 50 proof. I'm surprised this isn't more of a posh drink these days. People love the low alcohol. It's bright. It's approachable. Yeah. I do think that even though we've heard of this,

because we tread in these waters all the time, this is probably one that not a good section of slopheads maybe haven't come across. How dare you? I was telling people today about it, and they were like, like half the people knew what it was, and half the people were. And I went out in the street i was all different boroughs getting a really solid survey i i feel

like it's one it's a weird one where half the people don't know it but then the other to the other half it's like old hat they'd be like you haven't done that yet like it's a very it's a very famous cocktail but it's just not on a lot of menus in america no we haven't done that yet but we've done over 128 episodes so far yes we ever hear of the borga victor borga yeah i drank one just before i came here you drank a whole borg you're impressed with this hypothetical person wow you're a hell of a guy i have first had one of these in the in the christmas time which is a weird time to be having a pims cup people call it a summer drink but here on the pod we're calling it spring you know I have first had one of these in the Christmas time, which is a weird time to be having a Pimms cup. People call it a summer drink, but here on the pod, we're calling it spring.

Summer's got enough drinks. That's how this came up. We were having our brambles last week, right? And we said, let's keep the spring fling alive. We're on the gin train. It's a spring is sprung. Yeah. It's a spring is sprung drink.

Wait, didn't we have like a thing, kind of a hashtag for people? Oh, take a ramble with a bramble. Yeah. This spring. Yeah, did that ever take off? It probably did by the time of this airing. I wanted to add one that would say, post your spring fling. Let's say you're having a romance this spring.

Post a picture of you and your lover, and maybe you're having a Pim's Cup, and you say, Sloppy Ways, here's my hashtag, spring fling. Oh, that's nice. Maybe you're making love Pim's cup and you say here's my hashtag spring fling oh that's nice maybe you're making love no we don't want to see that stuff anything that's appropriate for Instagram is what we want to see you could be maybe doing double vaginal double anal out of frame

it's totally fine with us also okay yeah that's enough fine with us. Yeah, all you hear is... Also... Okay. Yeah, that's enough of that. If you find yourself eating some hot, spicy, deep-fried

chicken, maybe show us your spring wing. People who listen to our Patreon probably heard us eat some spicy hot chicken this week in our Hot Ones episode. You gotta subscribe. Tim, we can't call it that our warm singulars episodes warm singulars tune in folks all right why don't we make these pims cups yeah when we come back first sips i'm gonna have to do a lot of chopping and yeah, me too. Do you guys have all the garnishes?

I got cucumber. Jeff got me mint. I have strawberry. Ooh, I got to save a wheel of my lemon before I juice it. That's good to know. Smart. This cucumber in the picture is interesting. It's like a long sheet of a cucumber and you kind of slide it in the side.

Yeah, there's a lot of creative use of cucumber. The length of the glass. Also, I'll say, I'm going to do this kind of slide it in the side. Yeah, there's a lot of creative use of cucumber. The length of the glass. Also, I'll say, I'm going to do this kind of to specs to start. But a lot of people saying, don't be afraid to muddle the cucumber. Muddle the lemon. Get those juices flowing. That could be good for round two. Wait, I'm looking at pictures on Google Images.

I'm pretty surprised by the amount of... What? It's all highball glasses and different clear glasses, but I thought that this was a drink that had its own cup, like a Moscow Mule or a Mint Julep. Like you said earlier, Tim, a cup is a genre. I know, but still, even so... I thought it was in like a pewter cup.

Yeah, pewter, a pedestal pewter cup. A pedestal pewter? Tim, you're simply wrong, wrong, wrong. Bring me my pedestal pewter. Put it in whatever cup you like. I was wrong and I made some bad choices and I regret it and that's, it's not reflective of who I am. Yeah, sure.

Nice. But hey, if you have a fancy cup, you want to give it its day in the sun, put your pims in there put your pims in it on the sloppy boys podcast we'll be right back as women our life stages come with unique risk factors like high blood pressure developed during pregnancy

which can put us two times more at risk of heart disease or stroke know your risks. Visit heartandstroke.ca. And we're back! Let's see him. I've made an absolute vegetable and fruit mess in my kitchen. What a medley.

Oh, my God, Hanford, that thing's gigantic. I know. That looks like a Garth Algar kind of thing. Go ahead. I didn't really have a highball glass, and I didn't want to use the same one, so I like this glass, so I tried it out. Man, look what you get when you do all the garnish.

Red, orange, yellow, green, and don't forget, brown. It's beautiful. When I've ordered them at bars, I think I got a little carried away, and we all kind of turned ours into these big spa waters, like salads. Yeah, yeah. I feel like usually there's, they maybe choose a garnish and don't use all five garnishes. Yeah, hanging an orange and a lemon off the side is... Too much.

A bit much. I also felt like all day I was like, oh, we're doing that drink that has a lot of ingredients tonight. And then I was making it. I was like, oh, it's just Pim's lemon a lot of ingredients tonight. And then I was making it. I was like, oh, it's just Pimms, lemon, and ginger ale. Yeah, the drink itself is quite simple. It's all the, it's the Carmen Miranda bullshit up top. But Jeff, is it delectable? Let's find out, huh?

Let's find out. Now's the time. We're getting a little swayed by the smell. I can tell it already. Oh, very good very refreshing my god spring has sprung babe very nice spring has sprung like three times in the last month i know every episode seems to spring jimmy pym i love your drink man. Jim Pym does it again. I got to say, I took a little sip of the Pym's when I was making it, and I was like, oh, this is, it didn't taste very ginny to me,

but I did get a little digestif. Yeah, you probably digested a bunch of your lunch. Yeah, it was gentle. Jeff is drinking Pym straight from the bottle now, nasty. Okay, cool. Now no one can drink from that cup? No, they can't. COVID.

From that bottle? Yeah. I'm kidding. It kind of disappeared. Maybe I had to add a lot of ginger ale to top, but I don't taste it in the drink. Well, it's designed to be mixed. You're not supposed to drink it straight. It's made to be like, give it the sweet and sour of a lemonade and syrup.

It reminded me of an alcoholic version of Dr. Pepper. What Dr. Pepper is to other sodas, this felt like. Yes, yes. A little bit of a cinnamony taste. Dr. Pepper, another closely guarded recipe. Combining all sorts of herbs and pittas and roots i heard a rumor that the recipe for dr pepper is pepsi pepsi root beer two-thirds pepsi one-third root beer it can't be that easy it's that easy make it that's what they're doing. I like a drink that's associated with an event.

Like when you said this is the official cocktail of Wimbledon. Yeah. It's like how a mint julep is the official cocktail of the Kentucky Derby. I feel like there should always be something like that. Like when we play a Sloppy Boys show, everyone should know they're drinking a Calpe Cordial. You know, there's the official drink. Brings you together, makes you say, this is kind of fun. Tears you apart on the inside.

Hurts your feelings. I feel like the official drink for, like, any American or most sporting events is just beer. Yeah, it's Budweiser. Without, like, a... Bud Heavy. Dilly Dilly. Specific thing. The first Pimms Bar arrived in 1971 at the Wimbledon tournament.

So they like, you know, you go to the tournament, you actually go to a Pimms bar and they make it. 1971? That seems late for this. Yeah. Yeah, it does. Mike, you once went to the Indian Wells tennis tournament in Palm Springs. For the, what was that called?

The something open. Hey, you're wearing a tennis shirt right now. I know. I was just thinking about it. A tennis t-shirt. The BPN Open, I think it was called. When you went to that, I would imagine that probably everyone was drinking Mic Ultra, right?

Or was anyone doing this type of thing it was uh i didn't see any of these but there were uh but i didn't know what they were at the time either um but there was yeah like heinekens and mick ultras were kind of the uh the vibe but i think you could still get like bud lights and stuff um and they did have mixing cocktail stations uh mixed cocktail stations but just kind of the general stuff. And there was, I forget what the brand was, but there was like a champagne section that had kind of a cool like

fake brass down. Corbelle? Huh? Corbelle? Corbelle, yeah. But it had like a table made out of like this glass case that had tennis balls all inside of it and stuff. A sectioned off area that I sat in for a few minutes. The garnish should be a little tennis ball,

a little slice of tennis ball fuzz. My little, I picked this color specifically, this little tennis ball at the end of this, my little strawberry was on. That's kind of cute. Yeah. I thought it appropriate. Got to say, all your guys' drinks look stunning.

Beautiful. This is a real photogenic day. This is a good bachelorette party drink, huh? Don't you think? Bachelorette party. Let's say you're all lounging at the Bellagio pool, and then somebody brings up a pitcher of Pimms. Oh, baby.

You're getting all excited for the Sloppy Boys show you got together to go see tonight. In Las Vegas. For the bachelorette's last big hurrah yeah you spend the afternoon with pimp and the evening with tim oh shit i got the i got the i got the hiccups oh all right oh no you know when you have the hiccup maybe i don't have the hiccups but you you you're like waiting for the next one to come and you're like, is it over? Oh, the anticipation is the best. Mike, you know I learned the secret. Somebody showed me the secret.

Tim, you were there. I always thought the secret to curing hiccups was you plug your nose. You plug your nose and you chug water. Yeah, right. That's not the whole story, unfortunately. That's what they didn't tell you. What you need to do is, this person told me, what about

your ears? I said, no, it's your nose. They said, ah, you plug your nose and chug this water. I'm going to plug your ears. And I was having, I was having those painful hiccups after you eat something hot. Tim, you, you just fed me a spoonful of chili oil. Oh yeah. Remember this? Yeah. You, you got, you got the did you you didn't turn your head and others a spoon that was the fastest hiccups ever you had it like you you had barely swallowed and you're yeah yeah no i know it was painful too it was like the ones that like kind of hurt a little bit it was really it was chili crisp it was it was yeah it was it was really good but then um sure shooting that's the actual cure.

It worked immediately. Really? I just hope that I could do it with earplugs and I don't need another person. Right, right. That's tough. Because I live alone. And if I ever get hiccups alone, I'm fucked. Knock on your neighbor's door.

I had one. My brother was telling me. He like, I had the hiccups. And he asked me a series of questions. And all of a sudden, you like forget about having hiccups. It was like a series of questions. And all of a sudden you like forget about having hiccups. And it was like a spell, right? It's taking your mind off.

That's what this, the, the scaring people or drinking water upside down, like leaning forward and drinking out of the far end of a water glass. It's not doing anything physically, but it's making you think really my thing is psychosomatic. My thing that never fails and works instantly is take the biggest slurp of air you can and fill your lungs and just hold your breath. And it goes away.

You can't hiccup with full lungs. Oh, interesting. I feel like I've done that before. And then like, while I'm holding my breath, I'm still like. Well, truly. Yeah. And that's a fail. Yeah, that's a fail.

Yeah. Well, check my blog. yeah and that's a fail yeah that's a fail yeah i will check my blog if anything uh these might be helpful later tonight on the blowout when we do the spicy uh hot sauce challenge because i tend to get hiccups oh the warm singulars huh the spices yeah warm singulars it's happening well i gotta keep sipping this drink hold on um mike you mentioned corbel champagne jeff did but i was there to hear. You witnessed Jeff's mentioning, but he's drinking now, so I'm talking to you.

That just reminded me of the old 90s catchphrase, if it's not Corbel, it's not champagne. And I was thinking that that's exactly false. Champagne, if it's not French, it's not champagne. It's sparkling white wine. Corbel is from California, so

that slogan is an actual lie. Wait, is that what? I thought you flipped it. I thought it was, if it's not champagne. If it's not champagne, it's not Corbel. That's true. It's true that if you're not drinking champagne, you're definitely not drinking Corbel.

Corbel. Give me a glass of Corbel. We're celebrating. Can I get a couple cups of Corbel? A me a glass of corbel we're celebrating i got a couple cups of corbel a couple a couple solo cups of corbel please ah this is a good and i'll take them on the toilet please i'll tell you what i was a little suspicious of what the cucumber would do it comes through yeah cucumber's in there i told the cucumber i'm, it comes through. The cucumber's in there. I told the cucumber, I'm like, hey, we're going to be chilling out, come through.

Yeah. And I also thought the lemon was maybe going to be not enough lemon. I wonder if I'm actually tasting or just all the other shit in there. We got lemon juice in there though, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. A whole cup of it. Do you guys spank your right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Wait. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Hold a cup of it. Do you guys spank your mint? Yeah, give it one big spank. Spank the minty. And it said, yes, daddy.

Oh, God. What it did. Yowch. Zaddy. Mint is zaddy now. Oh, I didn't know that. Didn't realize that was the case, but I guess it is. I guess it is.

I'm sort of guessing that it is. My man was the case but i guess it is i guess i'm sort of guessing that it is my man i sort of guess that uh would you change anything um be honest i am for my round two i want to taste my pims more so i'm going to pack my glass with more ice and try to put less ginger ale but i mean i really i was gonna say back off the lemon but i like a lot i love a tom collins i love a gin and tonic this is a very refreshing drink it's nice to keep it kind of bright yep i'd probably pull off the i pull away from the garnishes maybe yeah i totally made a salad it looks like a garden yeah it's insane i also didn't leave enough room so i kept taking little sipsips to poke on a strawberry head or whatever.

I've also heard you can try ginger beard. You can try champagne or club soda. Two versions I probably would not enjoy, Jeff. I wouldn't do ginger beard. I think ale is welcome here. It's a rare... Ale's welcome. Great execution of ale. Much like the Yule Mule.

Ah. I think. I see. I just had a thought. You know, I haven't actually been getting very drunk on the pod lately. That's a lie. That's not true. How quickly you forget, Timothy.

You know, it kind of fucks with my memory. Yeah, yeah. At Guinness. I was going to say that I was in the mood to get drunk tonight, and maybe I was going to pour a big one. This might not be the drink for that. Yeah, but I feel like I want to because it's a low ABV. Maybe I really pimp up my glass like halfway.

Also, I mean, you know, this is a good drink, and it tastes good, so you can have four. Yeah, and you're going to be happy with your life. Mike, did you cut your cucumber the long way like they did online? Yeah, if you can see it in here. Yeah. Doesn't that bother you that you just kind of house the whole cuke now? I'm going to find out.

Look at him. He couldn't be happier. The cuke is pretty... I kind of cut it in half and then did it the long way and then you know cut that a half the long way and then just shave it off i sort of did a spear can i tell you something about cubes spear normal big fat american cucumbers rather boring food but you ever have had those those little summer kukes they use in like korean food in like a cucumber salad oh Oh, that's good.

Never even heard of it, Tim. Never even heard of it. You ever eaten at Dune in Atwater? Mm-hmm. Yes. I got some of those little cukes there. And you can dip them in the hummus. Oh, Timmy.

If I got a fried chicken sandwich at Dune, would I have those cukes in there? You could get a side. That's what's interesting about Dune. It's Middle Eastern food, like lamb and shawarma and stuff. And then you could get fried chicken. It's so good. Yeah. It reminds me of that, like, what's the Japanese fried chicken karage, I believe.

They're doing that at Dune. I don't think that exists in the Middle East, but it's a fusion cuisine. That place is so good. It really is. exists in the middle east but it's a fusion cuisine that place is so good it's also like you can you can eat a giant piece of fried chicken and a big fat pita with all that like dressing and all the vegetables on it and then their pita is so good because they make in a wood-fired oven it's like a it's like a neapolitan pizza and it's all fresh and like you could still feel like you could go for a jog you know you're you're clean running. It feels like light. Sprint home after the meal. Yeah.

Sprint home to the toilet. I never really feel that thing. When I eat, I'm like, okay, I'm not going to jog for a few hours, but it would be kind of funny to have a big spaghetti dinner, garlic bread, spumoni, and then go for a spumoni. Carbo-loaded, instantly run. Every time I have garlic bread,

a good one, I'm like, why? I should do this more often. It's so... A good garlic bread. I had a garlic bread a good one i'm like why i should do this more often it's so a good garlic bread wow i had a garlic bread era during the pandemic and it was very fun i had like a week where i kept getting italian food and getting a side of garlic bread and i was like this shit is so good and when you're a kid not a little kid but like i felt like east coast teenager tim was eating garlic bread all the time. Sure. And it doesn't come up that often in LA town. Well, is there a garlic bread era in the Taylor Swift tour?

Do we know? Yeah. Yeah. She comes out dressed as a loaf. Well, you know the ones you get at like the freezer department and like it's like the baguette. You cut it in half and you take it out of the bag. And they're like neon yellow looking buttery things.

Yeah. It's like, ooh, this is going to be good. Like at the Dresden or the Smokehouse or something where they're proud of their kind of like, oh, we have this cheesy garlic bread. Dude, Venice Room. Yeah, man. They got a nice, I mean, they gave it to you frozen, but you slapped that on the grill. You grill it up yourself.

It's got a nice big fat chunk of garlicky butter on it. I mean, they give it to you frozen, but you slap that on the grill. You grill it up yourself. It's got a nice big fat chunk of garlicky butter on it. Yeah, but don't try to kiss me after that garlic, Jeff. I won't have it. And don't try to kiss me either. Dracula. Drake? Count Drake?

Residual garlic. Dracula, that could be good. You used to call me on my cell phone. Dracula. You used to call me on my cell phone. Dracula. You used to call me in my coffin. I know when that garlic stink. Damn. Yes, the meme. Did I tell you guys about the grocery trip I had,

rounding up all these ingredients? No. You usually don't tell us about the trips because they're you're pretty mumble pretty yeah no pretty uneventful usually right right right normally normally because a lot of the time it's cut and dry but you know as you'll remember even as early as episode two for the zombie sometimes you got to go on a bit of a scavenger hunt. You gotta grab this, you gotta grab that. So here I am. The zombie especially. Especially. You need the flurnum!

Was that flurnum in the zombie? Probably. Yeah. Alright, here I am at Albertson's, right? Where it is. Cart teeming with fruits and vegetables. And then I get my ginger ale. That's like a trust is a must.

I'm sweating in my wool suit. I got, what do I got? Cukes, lemon, orange, ginger ale, the Pimms, the mint. And, but then all of a sudden I was beside myself. I was like, i'm forgetting something right i'm i'm frozen in the middle of boys and i'm thinking what am i forgetting what is it going what's the delivery mechanism for this drink do i need to pick up a jar or um a jug or a stein or a stein or a pewter cup what is the vehicle the vessel for this drink yeah and then all of a sudden bang i hear bang well i look up i was like what the

fuck and then another cart had crashed into mine and in that cart lemon lemon, orange, mint, cucumber, all exactly the same stuff. Same. What the hell? And as I look up, slowly I'm looking up from the contents of the cart up to the hands. And I see like there's a bunch of bracelets and sort of like fingerless gloves. And I was like, what the fuck is this? And I keep looking up. There's a bear chest with like a vest and a bandana around the neck.

As I continue to kind of, my head is slowly going up.ning you're tilting tilting a slow tilt well you're a director you know that type of stuff bandana around the neck did you do a dutch angle at all at any point no no this is just a straight you know one axis and then um sort of a sort of an older dude he had like you know scraggly blonde hair and i like, this guy is like a rock guy. I feel like I've seen this guy. And he could tell. He was like, yeah, I know. I was in Van Halen.

And I was like, yeah, Eddie Van Halen. And he says, no, no, no. He said, no, David Lee Roth. Yes, David Lee Roth. And I said, I was like, buddy, you look like you're up to what I'm up to. I just can't remember what this got to be in, this drink. You were in a quandary. Yeah.

And so he sort of understood. And he's like, I can help you, dude, totally. And then luckily. He had your back. Yeah. Luckily, my phone was already in my hand because I was looking at the list. Like, I got everything, I think. And so I just quickly, I press record, and this is what I got.

Oh, shit. This is what he said. I sort of got it. I see where you're coming from, dude. A lot of people have this problem. It even happened to me once. In fact, I wrote this little song to help me remember. I got stuff.

Got stuff for my tree. Ginger ale. And a lemon and mint. I got cubes. Got the cube real slim. You got to go with strawberries to put in your pins. Here it comes, though. But I got a little problem.

Can't remember what to put them inside. Think I'm losing my mind But the name will remind But the name will remind It's a Bim Scum Yes, yes Put it on, cum It's a Bim Scum

Cum It's a tall glass cum Cum I know you'll be all right. If you just remember the name of the tree. It's great to meet you. Dots. He knew you were done. Wow. He's walking away there when he,

yeah, yeah, yeah. It's so true. The name will remind. Yep. I, if I just stopped to think, you knew like what you had to get, had to get, but you weren't thinking about the name of the drink.

Yes, exactly, Tim. I had the ingredients, and I knew how to combine them, but I didn't know what to put it in. That's cool, man. Cup. Cup. Yeah. Cup. And you met him.

You met the guy. Yep. It's so weird. That's awesome. David Lee Roth, there was so much made out of him breaking up with Van Halen and then Sammy Hagar's in and David Lee Roth's out and he's a solo artist and all this shit and then you see him, you look at him a little

confused and he goes, yep, I was in Van Halen he's done with it enough he's quick to offer that he probably has said in that grocery store he probably has said it 10 or 20 times. Yeah. Yep.

I'm the guy. That's cool, Jeff. That's really cool. Other people have had that problem as well. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You're not alone. You couldn't remember it.

You never know what people are going through. People are suffering in silence. Everyone you meet is dealing with the invisible battle all their own yeah that's true that sucks this is water you know that sucks yeah that sucks well why don't we make a second round and when we come back we'll give our final thoughts hell yeah on this very summery spring drink oh hell. Hell yeah, playa. Great. I am going to make a full number two.

Me too. Great. Oh, shit. Stop! Now we're back with round two of Pim's Cups. Nice. I just went a little harder on the Pim's. Just another heavy splash of Pim's.

I went a little softer on the ginger ale, but I took a bigger sip of Pim's this time. It's really kind of a classic Amaro taste, and I feel like some of the Frenette bros should switch over to Pim's. Ooh. You know what's good about my Pimms? I didn't make a new one. I'm finishing my other one. But I pushed everything down to the bottom.

I used my toothpick. Boom, boom. Everything down to the bottom. So now my last sips are like soaked in fruit juice. Garden salad. Oh yeah. And I am not complaining. Let me mash up that cuke a little bit. Yeah. Squish.

Crush it up. Crush it up. Squish it. And squish it. Damn. I'm still losing the pims to the lemon. The lemon really neutralizes it. Is that what they call lemon the pym neutralizer?

Yeah, that finally makes sense to me. The pym neutralizer. Jimmy's nemesis? Hi, what's your name, Jim? What's your drink called, Pim? Okay. That'd be like making him drink the Tim Pim. Yeah.

I want to try the lemon-lime Sprite-y version. I'm normally not a Sprite guy. I'm on the record. Don't like Sprite. I know, I know. I just Sprite Zero today. I think it'd be pretty damn good. A Sprite Zero? how was that, Tim?

Kind of tastes a fakey. Because I am Sprite. I am pro Sprite. Love Sprite. Had a 7-Up this weekend. You on cola? Fucking it, that's good. I got the spot.

Here's another idea, folks. Yeah. We all know by now, Pim's number one is derived from gin, or it's gin-like. What you got here is a nice low ABV sipper. What if you put a nice little shot of gin in there, too? Whoa.

Oh, fortifying with another spirit. Think about that. Just something to think about. And we will. We will think long and hard about it. Oh, it sounds good. i've got to feel like my bar just got a lot more british i've got i've got the still have leftover slow gin and now i got pims hey uh the bramble i ran out i was making a lot of brambles i love the bramble been making

a lot um ran out of gin I was making so many. And I said, I might have to go split base. And I threw a little slow gin in there. Didn't hurt anything. Sweet. Made it sweet. Made it a little sweet. Damn, might have to go split base on this mofo.

Were you there, Mike? No, but I know how you get when split base is in the mix. Oh, man. It's so weird they're making a sequel to that movie Split, and it's called Split Bass. Yeah. It's weird. Yeah, that is weird. I'm with you, Tim. I'm with you. It's freaking weird. It's freaky. Did anyone see

Cabin in the Woods or Knock at the Door? Knock at the Cabin? Was that it? Yeah. Knock at the Cabin. Knock at the Cabin. Clearly Cabin in the Woods was taken, so like Knock at the Door? Was that it? Yeah. Knock at the cabin. Clearly, Cabin in the Woods was taken, so knock at the door, that's taken. Knock at the cabin. Wait, you said you did see it? It was a piece of shit.

Oh! I heard it was a book, and the book is good, and they changed the ending, and now the movie's bad. It felt like not a book, but a short story. It felt like a... A black mirror. Would this be some rather interesting circumstances? He's a French guy. Rather...

You want to pronounce this word? Hello? What is up? I know when that hotline bling... I was trying to do Dracula and I got stuck between a few things there. Fuck my whole life at this point, quite honestly. Jeff, we're just getting to hour two

here. I know. Alright, let's, as we wind down, slowly but surely, I'd love to hear your final thoughts on this very spring drink. I'm going to say your final thoughts on this very spring drink. I'm going to say something that I don't say often, and I usually kind of try to pump the brakes when it's said on this podcast.

Just to make sure everyone's clear mind. Is he going to say S-C-C? Slow Children Classic? It's a Stone Cold Classic. Whoa! And I will order it again. This is a Stone Cold Classic. I actually will order it again.

Unlike last time I wrote it. Stone Cold Classic? I hate it. I don't like it, but it is a Stone Cold Classic. I wish I wish it wasn't. Yeah, folks, this is in order again and again and again because of its low EBV. You're going to have more than one

of these. Make a pitcher. Have it at a party. This is for mass consumption. Mask consumption. Mask consumption. And femme consumption. This drink should not be like

I feel like it's a c-tier drink this is an a-tier drink it should be more people should know about it should be celebrated yeah I think it might have to do with the fact that Pimms is only one thing it's not like like vodka there's many brands Pimms is just Pimms number

one also like what else can you really even do with Pimms besides this? You can do so much. You can put it in a boiled bacon, put it in a stew, slip it in a stew. Ooh, Pimms potato. Okay. Pimms for Tim.

My review is it's a stone cone. And I will order it again. And it's's you know what make it a part of your spring fling go for a walk with your lover text us a picture to our cell phones and bring it along on your bramble ramble let's say you're going on a

bramble ramble make yourself a pim you're taking a pim on a bramble ramble yeah why the hell not pour a pim for your bramble ramble now Yeah, why the hell not? Pour Pimms for your bramble ramble. Now, before we scoot on out of here, I do want to say, we all know the meme where DiCaprio is like pointing at the TV from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Yes.

Does Tim's color palette right now in his Zoom screen not look exactly like that? He does. The light is something he's wearing, kind of an orange. I actually don't see the color palette, but I see when you look at my he does it's the light is something wearing kind of an orange i actually don't i don't see the color palette but i see what you're doing like when you look at my face it's very look at the man a-list celebrity heart that's where you and i differ my boy i feel the exact opposite i mean specifically the color palette i have said before and i will stand on this platform tim does not resemble the hunks. He's a chunk, not a hunk. Except for Pedro Pascal.

No, no, he looks like Pedro. Oh, man. How about that, Pedro? I was watching Last of Us, and I said, God's just like my boy, Tim. I mean, I get it a lot, man. I get it IRL. I get it in the...

You know how you had David Lee Roth telling you stuff in the grocery line? I get it, Pedro Pascal there. I, during, it's already dying down, but during Last of Us, I felt like it was. Daily. If I poked my face out the front door, I would get it. Has anyone stopped you and said, hey, you know who you look like? Constantly. Really?

Strangers, constantly. Yeah, that's great. Yeah. Damn. They make, they specifically say I look like Pedro Constantly. Really? Strangers constantly. Yeah, that's great. Yeah. Damn. They specifically say I look like Pedro Fatscal. Yeah, Pizza Fatscal. Oh, hey.

Hey, you look like Pizza Fatscal. I'm like, a fat pizza version of Pedro Fatscal? Yes, yes. To me, to me you do. To me? I'm like, well, I got it 10 times today.
