Visit heartandstroke.ca. Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys, where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton, along with Mike Hanford. Hello. And Tim Kalpakis.

What is up? And spring has sprung. How do you feel? Wow, it's still, I feel great. i feel like this is going great yeah yeah joe saunders is safe at home and we are back on the rails dealing with iba or iba adjacent drinks so you're referring to the fact that our podcast was recently terrorized by a supervillain called the trickster and he was gonna dunk our friend family man comedy writer joe saunders into a vat of acid if we didn't make an acid adjusted cocktail and then we did so now everything's fine damn that was a great previously on the sloppy boys it was interesting because we didn't we just had to make it we didn't even have to like it because

some of us didn't really like it well you can Well, you can't control what you like and don't like. Right, right. And that's awesome that the trickster is open to that. He forces his will to a certain point and then he realizes he's only human or subhuman, some people think. I tend to think he's subhuman the way he treats friends more. The way he treats people. That's not human. Nope. But he

yes, he's willing to say, okay, I've gone as far as I can, now you guys take it. Yeah. Still no word from the trickster on what he thought. But I thought it don't happen at the end of that last one. I would say that he's a contender for being called a nasty boy. Oh, yeah. But I also I wanted to make an apology to all the acid adjusters of the world. If you recall, when we did the acid adjusted whiskey sour

i didn't like mine and we've said this before the pod we're like i don't like mine but maybe someone could do it better well that someone not 24 hours later i was over at jeff's place and he made me an acid adjusted oh wow sour and it was unrecognizable from mine it was delicious it was perfectly balanced it tasted orangey but it was like a whiskey sour the way you want to i order a lot of whiskey sours and half the time they're undrinkably sour this was like a perfectly balanced eggy orangey whiskey sour so i don't know what the hell was going on with me and all my shit drink is good uh that's good to hear jeff have you ever thought about opening up a bar you're the manager you're the head bartender

you're around shaking hands the whole like every day in every way i am trying to open a bar it just hasn't happened for me yet i'd love to see that um yeah you know the dutton clubhouse maybe the duts I like it. Well, here's the thing. You had a weird sweetener, right, Tim? Didn't you say you had like Equal or had a taste of like aspartame? I mean, I used a bottle of store-bought simple syrup that was brand new, but my theory is that it was like all sugar and no water or something because it was...

And you juiced your oranges, right? Yes. What a waste that i squeezed two bags of oranges all to just drink a bad cocktail i grabbed a little simply simply orange and that's the key yeah i think that's probably it and this thing was dresden ready baby folks make yourself that weird go get yourself some citric acid powder and make that drink it's dresi ready it's dresi ready it's dresi ready um i'll tell you this yeah i you you asked jeff if he's ever thought of opening a bar and he said it every day in every way um i did have a brief uh moment uh

maybe like a year or two ago i was like not that it was you know i was anything i was gonna do but as a distant goal to have on the back burner i was like man it'd be fun to open a bar someday so i did download uh on audible opening a bar for dummies and uh and it was great because the intro was like do you like hanging around at bars you like talking to people you like drinking drinks you enjoy hobnobbing and the fun of being at a bar well then opening a bar is not for you as soon as you open it it will be ruined open a bar because you're a business person looking to make profit but it is not fun and do not think of it as a fun thing for you to do damn that's what they say on bar rescue yeah the bars that are failing are the ones that are just like i want a place where i can hang

out with my friends do you like to hang out at bars is a funny thing uh you know the the sweet spot is being like a a money contributor and somebody else does all the work and you come in and go hey all right this is my place i helped design the menu yeah yeah when i was a production assistant for james l brooks he and phil rosenthal were investors in mozza the uh mario mario batali nancy silverton restaurant um and i think batalia since gotten the boot for his behavior but that was Brooks and Phil Rosenthal they were just guys that liked pizza and wine and stuff so they got to go like they were like part owners

and they hung around but they didn't have to like carry the bag of flour I ain't carrying the bag of flour I would insist on carrying the bag yeah I'd bring all the wheat and hops and barley to the kegerator.

You know what I saw is next to me, remember Dave's Hot Chicken? Started in the parking lot. They were back in the parking lot for just one night. One special night. That's fun. A little reunion. And I feel like they did that before, like an anniversary thing. Okay, folks, this was a viral hot chicken place, kind of chasing the Howlin' Rays, but doing a good job out here in LA.

And very charming in the parking lot days. It's like cool to go in a parking lot and get a deep fried Nashville sandwich. That was great because you'd go, you'd put in your order, and then you'd wobble over next door to Tabula Rasa, the bar, and have a drink or two, and you come out and you get your spicy hot chicken. Oh, what a one-two punch that was. But then they got really big and blew up, and they have brick and mortars now. All over the place. Yes, they follow me on Instagram, of course.

And then Drake swooped in, and he he invested and now they're like everywhere they're in like new jersey and canada and stuff dude my parents drake did yeah drake's drake did that my parents uh live up in the adirondacks in uh upstate new york and they next to drake they've got two no that's toronto mike the very city where you attended your freshman year of college. I have been put in my place. You've been called out? I've been called out and I get the message loud and clear. You know what?

I always thought Drake was chilling on the Space Needle in that one album. He's not? Views. It's the CN Tower in Toronto, of course. Oh, you thought it was the Seattle Space Needle. Yeah, I mean, how many needles do I got to keep track of? Two. Two.

And one would be pretty clearly the Drake one. You can remember, Jeff, Seattle Space Needle, two's CN Tower Canada Toronto C Here we go Man you know CN is Cartoon Network To the J man Seattle Seahawks CN Tower

This is gonna be hard for me Oh shit Well Tim you were saying Your parents have two of them Up in where they live Well my parents live In the middle of nowhere And they got two

Dave's Hot Chickens Up there Are you for real? Yeah and they They eat there all the time and send me pics being like, hey, look, we're eating LA food, which is funny because it's real Nashville food.

That is. Well, are we getting... No, not yet. We're not getting into that. I gotta tell you about Hanford Gets Healthy. Today, I have been keto. Mike, it's worth mentioning.

Did you just come from the bagel bar or what? No, hold on. It's worth mentioning. Because I got a response to what you're going to mention. We're recording much, much, much earlier in the day than we normally do. We just woke up. All I've had to eat today was a salad.

Breakfast salad? No breakfast lunch salad. Okay. Are you intermittent fasting? I guess so. I'll tell you what. I normally... Okay, go ahead.

My goal for dinner time is to do some chicken drumsticks in the air fryer and make that my meal only. Nothing else because I can't eat anything else. Keto. Or else. That's keto. Maybe I'll get a vegetable going or something. But let me ask you this.

Are potatoes, do they fit inside keto? No. Damn. Carb. Too carby. Too carby because I was going to make mashed potatoes with chicken, but I guess I'm not doing that. Now, that would be a classic hanford square meal

i've seen the man eat you know when we all live together the rest of us were we're having uh you know you at our old house with the birthday boys sketch group you would see a lot of stouffer's skillet sensations and a lot of hungry man dinners but then hanford would bake himself some chicken and have some some green beans that were steamed and some mashed potatoes. But here's the thing, Mike. The chicken legs were always purple and sinewy on the inside. Have you learned your lesson?

I've been cooking them all day. I have learned my lesson. I am doing very well with the air fryer right now. But so my meal tonight is just gonna be six legs of chicken six that's okay i mean it's enough that's the amount of food i want to eat but that's just like a funny thing this is what keto dudes do yeah they gotta eat just weird meals i still have weird meals sometimes that like aren't a meal because if i haven't cooked or anything i'll just have a meal that's like all right i have a yogurt i'll eat that what else do i should i eat baby carrots i'll have a hundred baby carrots while i watch sabranos i like when the snack

kind of accidentally turns into a meal it's only in retrospect you're like i guess i ate enough baby carrots that dinner jeff what um, how are things going in the gym? Going pretty well. You know, like I said, there was a little talk of Jacked by May. That didn't happen. So we're sticking with Jacked by June. Oh, okay. But it's going good.

Muscle-y May leads to Jacked by June. I'm going up in weight, and I'll tell you what else. I've flirted with the idea of doing a light responsible steroid rinse. Have I mentioned this? No, you mentioned it. Yes, and I think that's... Don't do that. Okay, so I'm doing the other thing.

You're going to shrink your nads, man. No, no, no. I'm keeping my nads nice and plump. Okay. And sticking with protein and creatine. Okay, good. Don't do any... What's the matter with you?

What? I already don't like you doing the creatine. Why are you doing that when your friend Tim is a is a bona fide brand ambassador for m drive and you you won't yeah just listen to me tim you had to beg for that powder and you know it yeah i groveled long enough and they gave in and now i'm back on it no that's good uh hey wait i was gonna say something about oh yeah we're recording early, are we not? Yes, we are. That makes me think...

Here we are back on the IBA. We haven't tackled a Bloody Mary yet? Shit, man. The brunch classic. We have not done that yet. We've not. No, we were saving it. We haven't done the Mai Tai.

Saving it for what? What are we holding out for? Well, I knew we were... We wanted our 100th episode to be special and our annual... What's this magical future you're dreaming of? How about this? Bloody Mary is a famous

brunch drink or a hangover drink so it would make sense you know, New Year's Day or what's a big hangover day or a brunchy weekend maybe? Mm-hmm. Oh, maybe... I mean, it's one of my favorite cocktails.

It'd be also a good in-person hang. Yeah, that's a good one in person. My top three cocktails in no order. Martini, Mai Tai, Bloody Mary. Wow. Very different. All over the map. All delicious. Mine is mart martini gin and tonic beer

beer beer me cure beer me for me honestly lately these are just maybe the hot 100 coming from jeff uh or hot three bramble i thought you could list 100 drinks. Acid-adjusted orange juice. And I also still do... Pimms? I was going to say old-fashioned, but I do quite a bit of Palomas. A lot of Palomas around here. Yeah, you're Paloma crazy. Paloma summer. Go for it, folks.

Get a big bottle of squirt. Chip away at it every day. All right, now can we please get on with Booze News? I would love that. Hit it. all right now can we please get on with booze news i would love that hit it i'm not When you said That there was no Made a Peace of Recorded it

All alone Didn't Matter Who died To kill The hero He died to carry the bureau Nice. Oh, hell yeah.

That was a built-to-spill parody. Carry the Bureau was sent to us by PagePagePage from the Sloppy Boys Discord, which you can gain access to and hobnob with us and Slop heads if you subscribe to our patreon and if you have a booze news theme email to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com page herself is a musician a legit musician and a legit legit band called pictures of vernon i checked them out on um spotify and she's uh great and let's be honest this band has more

plays than us on spot so kind of the tail wagging the dog if you know what I mean do you think you think we're going to get to a point where like Zach De La Roca throws in a booze news theme maybe or the guy I saw at Go Get Em Tiger

yes the same guy I saw when running a LA marathon he was out there with his kids saying, look at these guys. He could do Bulls on Parade, but he changed it to Bullshot. Bullshot Lemonade. Bullshot Hooray. That's good. Bullshot Hooray.

That's a good song. Hey, why is it? Don't drink it now. I was just listening to some music with my brother. Oh, we were listening to the first Incubus album. You don't like Incubus. Oh, I hate Incubus. And he does too, but he was at like a very...

Stinkubus. Which one? Science? Which album? What's the first one? Stanker. I think they had one before science but i kind of like science no it's bad well my brother had been at a very hip coffee shop and seen the first

incubus album on sale and he was like that's weird is that is that a nostalgia thing that is cool now so we put the album on and i very much disliked them but i also in general i was thinking about like drop d chords rap rock and new metal and i was like it's kind of crazy that rage against the machine might be the only band to come out of like i love rage against the machine i think they're fantastic and i can't think of any other band that even like i ironically listened to that one papa roach song enough that it made it into my like itunes most listened to it at the time but you know it's stupid but like did were you guys did you listen or maybe i think there's a deftone song i love but i'm hard up for any new metal that i was into that's just one of those and you're saying you're

now you're saying rageage Against the Machine is considered nu metal or rap rock I call them rap rock but why is it that I never liked Korn I never liked Limp Bizkit yeah lots of people blah blah blah but only Rage how is there not one other rap rocky

band I mean 311 for some people I went to a big 311 high school no fuck them you know who I liked? I liked that one, the big album from fucking... Chop Suey? Yes, Toxicity. Oh, System of a Down.

Yeah, the first System of a Down album. I love that. I just went on Spotify and played their hits, and I was like, wow, I can't believe I know as many system of a down songs as i do and they're very intricate continue jeff oh no no um it's just funny that a lot of those bands have uh you know the appeal of like oh yeah that one song or like yeah they had a couple songs and you can kind of put yourself in that nostalgic headspace, but you're right. That rage is the one that's just like, Oh,

those are albums with integrity and they're their whole own thing. Yeah. It doesn't feel, I want to see them before they, uh, before they stop ever doing shows together. Well, I mean,

they toured last fall back and forth. Delaroca hurt his Achilles on the first show and, and had to sit down for half of the tour. And then they canceled the second half of the tour. Kind of sad. That is so had to sit down for half of the tour and then they canceled the second half of the tour kind of sad that is so funny to sit down for those songs they're such like jumping the air songs uh what was what were the what were the incubus songs that that you were coming across yeah okay yeah they're bad I always think of them like I'm always like i know i don't

like that group but i forget what songs they say well they're i guess i was bringing them just i guess the guitar style and the fact that they have like dj scratches in the mix is why i brought them up but like that's more of a pretty boy singer maybe they're they're more like lincoln park where there was there was rap rock guitar influence but they're definitely more like a pop and they're like funky too like them and 311 will be like oh we sort of got a little groove happening yeah i mean 311 would definitely come original they're not a two singer band are they no inky no inky is stinky no stinkubus is not. 311 had a rapper and a singer, right? Right, right, right. I know Linkin Park did.

Sloppy Boys had a rapper and a singer. Yeah, we do. Yeah, a little thrilling. Talked about Dicto. Haven't heard from them lately. Yeah, well, it's better we haven't heard from them. Which is good that we haven't. Better them.

Yeah, we're not huge fans. Leave them to their own devices. Or anyone like them. Yeah, or any nepo babies. Little wien their own devices. Or anyone like them. Or any nepo-games. Pipper popper or whatever. Yeah. Did you have something? Yeah.

So, for today's booze news, we've got a special segment. Hit it. It's time for... Kalpakis' Corrections. Oh, no. Damn. Hey, there's some rap rock right there.

Shit. Yeah, there you go. You guys probably thought it was going to be Campbell's Corrections, but it turned out that it was really cool and it was Kalpakis' Corrections. Now, this has never happened before, right? No. Not in my memory. Okay. Not in my memory. But I recognize the music from Campbell's corrections. Yes.

Anyone who hasn't been living under a rock would recognize that classical song from Campbell's corrections. I'm with you. Okay. Sometimes, here's the thing. Usually corrections would come from our from Campbell's corrections. I'm with you. Okay, I had, sometimes on, here's the thing,

usually corrections would come from our whip smart friend, Neil Campbell, but for me, I just had to, we've gotten so many slop heads pointing out mistakes that I, What? On other podcasts? Yeah, yeah, of all the other podcasts,

but I'm like, I'm sorry, this way you should just stick with us. I ignore most of them but i wanted to mention a hugie which is our most corrected thing ever dms my phone's blown up twitter oh yeah everywhere all over the place uh the the the incident heard around the world uh the slap uh will smith was not supposed to slap that was not in on the cue card the correct behavior would have been remaining seated and laughing at the gi jane two joke not cursing on live television i see no recently in one of our Spring Has Sprung episodes, we were making a cocktail that had a berry liqueur in it. I was the quiz master, and I led a quiz called The Berry Quiz. Oh, yes.

Mike, I asked, what hill did Chubby Checker get his thrill? Huh, okay. What would your answer be? If I asked you that today, Mike wasn't a blueberry Hill. It's blueberry Hill. And I, I knew it was blueberry Hill and I thought you said blueberry Hill,

but apparently according to 100 different people who DM does, you said mulberry Hill. Ah, sure. And I haven't been able to walk down the street without someone saying, Blueberry, not mole. Blue. Now, what does this do to that game?

Did I win by a lot? Did I even win at all? I don't remember. No, it sounds like we're back to a tie. I think you won by one because it was a hot quiz. Oh. So you're back to a tie. Back to a tie.

Oh, back to a tie. Back to a tie. No, yeah. Well, maybe we can have a quiz at the end of this one. Yeah, a Barry quiz. Maybe there'll be an impromptu Barry quiz at the end of this.

One question. One question, Barry quiz. Barry Bonds. Okay, I apologize about that. Oh, and then a small one I wanted to mention was, remember, we were talking about Philadelphia in our Clover Club episode. And I talked about our long history with Philly and all the different Philadelphia Slopheads and all the great shows we played there. the great shows we played there and i somehow neglected to mention some of the most important philadelphia slopheads that you know there's there's the famed sloppy boys window in philadelphia that's got a bunch of sloppy boys merch everyone takes pictures there's also slopheads sunday

these are all thanks to sean chairman ring on instagram every sunday at this very cool dive bar, the friendly lounge in Philadelphia, they make the drink that we, we met over the week. They pretty much have none of the ingredients and they do their best. And, and I don't think they like the drink very much, but Sean and then Samantha,

AKA secret pants. Sam is always in the mix. Strong showing of Philadelphia slop heads that I forgot to mention. And on the topic of Philly, I wanted to say Philadelphia slophead Jackie B just pointed out. Remember a couple weeks ago I talked about Rita's came out with a beer and it was mango? And it was mango. And I said, this Pennsylvania, you know, institution came out with a mango beer. Well, this has happened again.

Bongo Fizz is a new beer from Yingling, America's oldest beer. And they just put out their first fruit beer and it is mango. So for some reason, all of the Pennsylvania products. mango. So for summaries, all of the Pennsylvania products. I don't think anyone has ever grown one live mango in Pennsylvania, yet now there's two mango beers coming out of Philly.

We got live mango down here. That's great. That's great. You love to hear it. Good for them. Also, hey, I saw that Sean and those boys made another Kier alternative. They made the pink Russian the other day. That's the one that's creme de cassis and milk. Yeah, that's interesting.

That's the one I want to try, but not when I'm like, hey, I'm making a cocktail. That's when I just want to be like, I got nothing planned here. I just want to see what this tastes like. I got nothing to do today. My schedule is clear. Clear. I'm not using see what this tastes like. I got nothing to do today. My schedule is clear. Clear. I'm not using this as a cocktail party thing. I'm not using it when I'm out in the town.

I'm just drinking purple milk. Yep, purple milk. The new purple drink. Purple. Wrap it up. Okay, that's it for booze news. All right. Okay.

Well, well, well. We are now at the drink of the day. Yes, we would all agree. Hmm? Yes. Yes? I'll allow it. I can't deny it.

I can't deny it. Good. Now, we did, a couple weeks ago, we did the cure. Did we not? We did. We did. We did. I'll be the first to admit.

Creme de cassis and white wine. Yeah. Now, there's something called the Kier Royale. Creme de Cassis and champagne. Yes. Yes. It comes to our attention recently. It was brought up on last week's Booze News.

There is something called the Kier beer. You've heard. You've had. I've not had. And. You've heard, you've had. I've not had, and I've only heard when you brought it up. Yeah. Only heard, I was once like you. Pathetic. Young pathetic.

Lost in a world of drinks. Blind to what was really happening out there. The real truth underneath. What the people are drinking not what royals are drinking off and luxembourg so many misinformed sheeple out there walking around thinking oh there's no cure beer there's no such thing as a cure beer there's no such thing as that beer there's no cure beer why are they saying if they don't know about it why are they saying it if they don't know about it? Why are they bringing it up so much? Now, research on this particular drink is difficult to do online. There are different...

It's very difficult to just write Kier beer and see exactly what we're going to be talking about today. You gotta... A lot of people call beer with creme de cassis... Still, they call it a Kier Royale. Oh. Don't know why. It's one of these things where it's just got many different names and ideas. You can go on websites that say Kier beer, and the English description of it is proper

nouns are not capitalized, words are spelled wrong. It doesn't seem like the type of, you know, this isn't the IBA. Let's say that. So the true history of this drink comes from, this is April 22nd, 2023. Ooh. I, Mike Hanford, am at a picnic in Fort Greene Park. I'm drinking a beer. I'm talking to John Haskell and his brother, Matt Haskell, about the latest drink we did, which was the Cure.

And Matt Haskell says to me, have you ever had the Cure beer? They're great. I said, what's that? He says, it's creme de cassis poured into a Miller High Life. He said Miller High Life specifically because it's the champagne of beers. Right. So it's like the Cure Royale.

Like a spaghetti. So that was... Oh, fuck. And also that would make sense. It's like a spaghetti. Yeah. Fuck, I should have got Miller High Life. Well, let's get into that

because I couldn't find it. So then I... You couldn't find a Miller High Life? Dude, I checked four places, no Miller High Life. Interesting. And it made me think they canceled it because I know they canceled High Life Lite. then i uh you you couldn't find a miller highlight dude i checked four places no miller high life and it interesting it made me think they canceled it because i know they canceled high life light i could only find it in a in cans i couldn't find the bottom this is weird because there was a there was a whole story there was a news story recently that in france they like destroyed a huge like

shipping container of miller high lives because they thought it was a fraudulent claim. The champagne of beers, they were like, well, no, champagne has to be made in France. And they destroyed them instead of just like- Like Kid Rock. They could have donated them to a certain podcast. Yeah. That would be nice. Well, so I did a little further digging, and I interviewed Matt through text recently.

Oh. Let me share you the text exchange. It's brief. Hey, dude, we're doing the Keir beer. This is me. Hey, dude, we're doing the Keir beer today on the pod. You told me about it! Where did you learn about this wonderful drink?

He says, ha ha, nice man. I've only seen it on the menu of the bar at Bell Rev down in Tribeca. They use high life and serve in coupe glass. Oh. It probably has a history from somewhere, but that's the only place I've seen it. Fun idea, fun name. I wrote fun times. And then he sent back a gif of a dancing honda osimo robot

that is the extent what did he say before the uh the coop glass i wasn't listening i was looking buried in my mobile yeah they use high life in a coop uh there's a probably history of it's probably has a history from somewhere but that's the only place I've seen it. Oh, I've only seen it on the menu of the bar at Bell Rev down in Tribeca. And I looked up this bar, and it's kind of cool. It's kind of just like a divey-type bar. I've actually maybe been to this place. But it's got some, you know, the tin on the roof there, the tin on the ceiling. It's got brands of liquor you've seen on the roof there, the tin on the ceiling. It's got brands of liquor

you've seen on the back shelf. It's got some fried foods. There's a guy playing some music at some point. So bar rev. So that's all we know at this point. So we don't even have

an official recipe. I like this, though. This is the type of thing the pod needs, which is we're out there. We're meeting people. We've got our ear to the street and it kind of is coming off we had done the bramble and the clover club and the cure and we said maybe this maybe the summer of 2023 last year we were dripping things into beers like uh spaghet maybe the berry liqueurs

will be the new drippers of this year and then you hear about this thing so we're kind of signal boosting it we are yeah we're single boosting and we're i think we're sort of creating the history of this one yeah oh yeah well uh i page... This is going to be an evolving story. The Wikipedia will say, Mike Hanford asked Matt Haskell about it, and Matt Haskell said there's probably some history to it. There's probably some history, which we will eventually find out. This story is not dead,

but we have smacked right up against as much as we know. We're at the limits of what can be known. Right. I have to say... But guess what? But guess what? Hubble Telescope is in development over on our side and we're going further out into space.

Yeah. And for me speaking, speaking as a writer, a Digman writer who is interested in archeology and uncovering history. Okay. I might pitch an episode about this for Digman where everyone, everyone knows about the cure beer, but where did it come from? I like yeah i like that you know that's exciting they also refer

to it as the tarantino on the wikipedia and every time i search for like cure beer tarantino or tarantino cocktail it just sent me to all these like craft blogs where people were making tarantino inspired like the filmmaker quentin tarantino inspiredinspired, like the filmmaker, Quentin Tarantino-inspired cocktails. And I was like, no, no, no, no, no. Why do they call Casis and beer a Tarantino? Couldn't figure it out. Can't be found out. And the one article I saw on a website

that I thought was illegible was said like, the Cure beer is Tarantino smooth. So I don't know what that meant. And Tarantino was not capitalized don't know what that meant. Interesting. And Tarantino was not capitalized. But for us to make it, here's what we're going to do. We're going to take a Miller High Life

or other beer if you have it. Something probably... I've got a Coors Original. I think that's going to work. Can or bottle? Tall boy. I got cans because I couldn't find bottles. So I'm going to pour into my favorite glass.

My glass is shaped like a can. So that's going to be fun for me. I'm going to take a big mouthful, and I'm going to replace that mouthful with it and drink it. Sort of a spaghet. And then replace that mouthful with, yep, spaghet style. You do it what you think is necessary. Here's the thing. I couldn't find High Life. I wanted it so bad because I also was thinking of this in terms of a spaghetti right yeah not a popo no no a well popo

definitely no because it's a beer but i couldn't find a high life i wanted a clear glass so i see what i i want people to see like oh that's not what i think it is he did something he's he's in his up some he did a little tweak so i found um modelo okay now oh that's good that'll be a. Okay. Now, oh, that's good. That'll be a good one. It's a lager. That's in the same yeah, same. Oh, I said Pilsner for High Life. Is it a lager? Maybe it's a

lager. Not sure. I kind of always just pair Pilsner's lagers together. I know the beer bros are gonna kill me on that one. But yeah, you never know if they say American Pilsner beer and they're lying. But what should I i do i've got a big tall boy of coors original because i was just like i was like should i get like a frenchy beer and then i was like no i just want a classic and that's kind of

my favorite of the sort of normie beers is i like that banquet i like the slim i say pour it into a pint glass okay that's good and do that so nobody's doing coop nobody's doing coop i guess i mean that's fine i wouldn't be caught dead with it i don't really want to do it that way the problem with the coop is like the whole point we saw this with um with the spritzes getting the beer swap the point of the spaghet is it's a poor man's aperol spritz so you're using beer i i feel like if you put in a coupe glass you're like trying to class it up when we all know that the cure royale is the classed up thing so this is it's so cool i love walking around i've ordered a lot of spaghetts from

places and what you have to do is order a high life and then a shot of half lemon juice half aperol then you make it yourself if you're at bar, they don't know what you're talking about. So they give you the tip, I see. Okay. Oh, yeah. I take Venmo also. But to walk around with an orange high life, people say, oh, what's he up to?

What the hell's wrong with you? This is an interesting guy. I want to get to know this guy. Yeah. Who's this man? This is a good man. Yep. Yeah, let's do it. Oh, yeah, because the ads are coming and i can smell them yeah oh let's get out of here that's good because i'm feeling spendy no no us three let's get out of here yeah yeah these guys listeners they get

they get they're feeling spendy but we we're not falling for that corporate no no i don't fall for that we're not falling for that corporate crap. No, no, I don't fall for that. We're not doing that stuff. Bye, folks. Bye. And we're back with Keir Beer. Jeff, I got to say, before we left, before the break, you got going on a little joke run there about how we want to, whatever the joke was. And I had to go pee so bad. I wasn't even listening.

I had to go pee so bad. Whatever the joke was. Yeah, yeah. Whatever dumb fucking joke you. All you're thinking is piss, piss, piss. No, I was just like, okay okay yeah you gotta be done now mike you were looking at us and we were probably looked all yellow to you like the simpsons because you were seeing a mirages of your future yellow making toilet bowl yeah i i saw two beautiful toilets in front of me

with the with the lids flapping like mouths so they could listen to the ads but we don't listen to the ads yeah yeah okay yes yes you little piss your tongue is a turd i do a lot of non-listening on the podcast here there was a one time recently where not listening jeff you were like um you were like you know penelope spheras the director of wayne's world and then like four minutes later i was like wayne's world that's what she directed like and you guys didn't give me a big response and i was like geez what's with these tough crap also in that same moment i was like i, I admit it, I was like, yeah, I don't know what you guys were just saying. I was looking up what somebody else directed.

We got to stay focused, which we are going to do from here on out. Yeah. You know what? These drinks will help. Yeah. All right. I'm actually, I'm going to make mine right here. Cool.

Oh, we're witnessing a real-time make. Wow. Okay, so I'm going to take a big gulp of this Miller High Life right out of. Cool. Oh, we're witnessing a real-time make. Wow. Okay, so I'm going to take a big gulp of this Miller High Life right out of the can. Oh, shit. None of us had the clear bottle of Miller High Life. Well, Jeff's got it. Now, that was a big Miller High Life gulp, which you know I love. Yeah, man.

I took a sip of my Coors Original, and I was like, this is a good beer. Maybe I should get back on the beer train. Yeah. Oh, yeah, Tim and I were just commiserating one day. I was going to let that head cool down for a second. Jesus. Earth's worst pour. I went straight down into it.

Mike, that's going to be like 45 minutes for that foam to settle. Maybe segment three, we can get a taste of that thing. Yeah, that'd be nice. That'd be nice. That'd be nice. Well, you know what, Jeff, when you open your bar, don't hire me. I don't pour well.

He's got a bad pour on him. He's a good guy. He's got a bad pour. Mike, I was telling Tim, we had people, we were all hanging out one time and I was making acid-adjusted whiskey sours. It was that night. And I was like, man, I wish I just had like a 12-pack in the fridge for the boys.

Because all I have now is like fancy cocktail ingredients. I've gotten off of like just having beers that you can crack and go. Yeah. Doesn't help with the Dutton gets Hanford healthy, though. Dutton gets Hanford healthy? Dutton gets Hanford healthy. Hanford healthy, Dutton gets Hanford healthy. Dutton edition.

It's smart to have a pack of beers around for when you got the boys over, because you don't want to be, hey, guys, come over. We're watching Succession. That's my bro guys, come over. We're watching Succession. That's my bro. My bro-iest activity is watching Succession. But it is, I am all like, would you like a Fernandito? They're like, I'll disappear for 25 minutes

and come out with some well-shaken cocktails. And I'll be all sweaty and grumpy. Nice. I should start putting a little towel over my shoulder, though. That's a good look when you're preparing. That would help sell it. I'll do that sometimes when I'm cooking,

and it really does make me feel like I'm a yes chef, no chef type shit. Mike, you do that thing where you'll make us breakfast, and you'll be wearing one of our big T-shirts, and you're bopping around the kitchen. Oh, I'm making pancakes. Or like a sort of half-done Oxford white shirt. Yeah, yeah. It's a good look. Barefoot, sort of half done Oxford white shirt. Yeah, yeah. You know, barefoot, sort of prancing

around the kitchen. Yes, yes. Alright. See his ass cheeks a little bit. Yeah. Now goes in the creme de cassis. How much are you gonna put? A sip's worth? I'm doing like a 30 ounce. 30 milliliter

worth. Okay. I did one, like a shot. 30 milliliter worth. Okay. Yeah. I did, I did one ounce in a pint. I don't know if it'll be enough. I think that's, sure. I think that's good.

I did. Yeah. About that. But in a 12 ounce bottle. It turns it purple right away. Mine isn't full purple like that. Mike's is very purple. Me and Jeff have kind of just,

they almost just look like IPAs. It sank right to the bottom. So I was trying to get in my, in my picture, I was trying to get that nice gradient. Well, you can wiggle the bottle around in a circular fashion. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. Should we sip? Okay. Shouts out Jason Derulo.

Okay, sips. Bottoms up. Smells like beer. Wait, who is Wiggle Song? Is that Jason Derulo or Big Sean? Oh. I think that's Big Sean. Oh, that's good.

Nope. It's Jason Derulo and Snoop Dogg. All right. Damn. I said it with such confidence. That one ounce went a long way. This is nice. I'm tasting it.

Yeah, this is good. Oh, I get a little taste. That's for sure. I like this. Hmm. Mm-hmm. I get a little taste. That's for sure. I like this. Nice and sweet. Hmm. Mm-hmm. It's a little fun.

Like, you know what? I made my brambles at the very same picnic that our history lesson took place at. I made brambles for people, and it was so sweet. It was such a nice surprise for people. I think this would be the same thing, a nice little sweetie. And it's nice and easy. Hey, want a kewbier? Yeah. Sure, I think this would be the same thing. A nice little sweetie. And it's nice and easy. Hey, want a kewbier? Yeah.

Sure, I would, but that's going to take you forever, wouldn't it? Tim, I love the simplicity of that interaction. Hey, you want a kewbier? Yeah. Also, what a nice day in the park these friends are having. Want a kewbier? Yeah. Okay, here you, fuckface. Oh, thanks, you fat piece of shit.

Oh. You fat whopper. Hey. You fat whopper. You know what I was thinking, Mike? On the blowout, maybe this could be like a Burger King collab with the blowout.

You know, you see a lot of like fast food. It'll be like, oh, the Cardi B meal is here or whatever. Yep, yep, yep. They should come out with the big hand whopper how about that oh that'd be fun could be good you put a little uh put a little cheese on that thing what else do i like pickles that's good just make a normal whopper yeah but you gotta give it to me for free cheese and pickles wow and Wow. And other stuff. And other stuff.

Lettuce, tomato. Lettuce, tomato. Maybe a banana pepper. Bun. Toad. Flip those buns. You know what I mean? Ha ha.

My parents know that I like the shamrock shake at McDonald's. And particularly, I enjoy getting it as late as i can after saint patrick's day like if you can get a shamrock shake shake in april it's fun um one time my mom texted on the group chat texted me a picture of her shamrock shake in like early april because she to be like hey tim look but the cup said Offset, you know, because they have a meal there. And the way that Travis got it. And so I was like, what am I decoding here? My mom sent me a text that says Cardi B and Offset.

And I was like, man, maybe she's a hip hop fan. I never really talked to her. Wait, wait, wait. Tim, why do you like it late? Why do you want to know that they're running low on the mix or something? I like the drink anytime, but let's say it's April 4th, and you pull up to the drive-thru, and you're like, oh, I hope they have some left, and you ask.

And nine out of 10 McDonald's are like, no, we discontinued it. But every once in a while, there's a Mickey D's. It's like, Tim, we got your back, bro. We got a little bit of that green powder. So you're living on the risk. You love the thrill of like, maybe they don't have it. Oh, and I get off on the fact, the idea of me not getting it,

makes me just completely get off. Oh no, he's getting off. I'd like to get off this topic. Jesus. Okay, I'll change the topic, but stemming from my parents, I'm going to do a little show and tell here because I recently had a big birthday, the big 4-0, and my parents got me some really nice tailor-made gifts.

I don't have it all right here, but look at this. All my life, i thought it would be classy to have a decanter to put like you know pour like scotch into and pretend you're kind of a fancy guy they look at this can you read that beautiful they custom made oh it says calpacus nice with a big k and a crest and that's nice four uh rocks glasses with the crest and the k that goes along with it and they gave me a polo shirt navy blue with the crest in white on the breast and it says calpe cordial so i'm like a whole kind of a guy oh that's cool i'm cool i'm a whole custom crest guy.

You come up to me thinking, oh, Tim, you probably don't have your initials on your clothes. You're wrong. That's good. You're like Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks who has the big A on his chest. So people know which one he is. I always thought that was for adultery.

Oh, gosh. You've been reading too many classic pieces of literature, my friend. I've got it. It's not Herman Melville. It's Nathaniel Hawthorne. That's right. That's right. He's got it.

He's got it. He's got it. All you need me to do is check, and he has got it. Did you guys ever see the 90s movie version of Scarlet Letter? Uh-uh. It's funny because you know the scarlet letter the novel doesn't have any sex in it it's all like after the fact and about the shaming and the remorse and the regret um but they made a movie that kind of flopped in the 90s and it was starring demi more um oh yeah yeah and they were like well we can't like it's a movie about sex and it's starring to

me more it should be kind of sexy but they also didn't show the adultery happening but there's just like scenes of to me more like like incidentally nude like she happens to be taking a bath yeah her being like my body's all dirty i better take a fucking bath. Wait, is it period, though, or is it modern day? Period. Of course. Well, wait, what was the modern day one? Easy A? Oh.

That's supposed to be Scarlett. That's what Easy A is? I've never seen it. That was a comedy, right? Yeah, but isn't that based on, like, isn't it like an update of Easy A? Interesting. Kind of like how 10 Things I Hate About You is an update of Taming of the Shrew. Oh, man. It even sounds like it. 10 Things I Hate About You is an update of Taming of the Shrew. Oh, man.

It even sounds like it. 10 Things I Hate About True. Tame things I... Taming of the Shrew. 10 Things I Hate About You. Yeah, that's right. Did it wait? Is this a wrong fact or a correct fact that Emma Stone won an Oscar for EZA? Wrong, but... Wrong. Wrong fact.

She was in that. She was definitely in that. Maybe she was nominated. Maybe she won, too. Jeff, what do you say? She was nominated. No, I just don't know. A high school comedy getting an Oscar nom.

Well, hold on. Jeff doesn't know exactly. I don't know. He cannot find... It can't be known be known it there's just no way of knowing it it's one of those things you know you have to live with uncertainty in life and you have to get used to that emma stone had uh was nominated for birdman for the favorite and for la la land oh the favorite yeah so why am i here walking around telling people that eza was nominated for an oscar why am i doing that if it's not true i was nominated for an Oscar? Why am I doing that

if it's not true? I would discontinue that action, Tim. Well, I'm going to stop the behavior, but now I'm kind of thinking how can I make up for what I've done?

You know what I got going on over here? You probably can tell in my voice. I'm a little stuffed up in the nose. Woke up with a sore throat. Oh, my God.

You know that just sort of like you get sort of that, like, I don't know, but I don't feel sick. It could be COVID round 10. No, I don't think it's COVID.

I just had COVID. You did? He had his third round. Like three months ago. Yeah. Yeah. I've got this problem where my, I'll be breathing through my nose happy and healthy all day

then it's time for bed and gothunk the nostrils closed up close up shop because they're done for the day yeah um what about the the c-pap machine you're liking it i hate it but i've had a number of very helpful slop heads of DM me and said, Tim, I know you hate your CPAP machine. I felt that way for the first month. Power through, power through. I stand with you. CPAP brothers till the end. Apnea will not stop us.

So I'm going to keep going. But as of now, I'm struggling with it. I don't like it. I pull it off my face by accident sometimes in my sleep. It's hard, but it did stop the snoring. Mine's a little different, but I just did get fitted for a night bite guard. Oh, my fucking dentist gave me one of those. I did like 10 fittings, and then I got home, and I'm like, I can't sleep with this shit, and I never wear it.

It sucks. I hate it. I do it sometimes, but it's it's a bummer i have one of those and i and i've just in the past i've had it for like years just in the past like two months been wearing it every single night wow it's like i leave it i leave i take it out in the morning just put it right on my nightstand yep and then right when i go to bed i see it and i go oh shit and I get out of my like comfy position get back out of bed and wash it off

I don't even wash I do the really firm blow cause I figure if anything just dust is getting on it so I'll be like in bed I've been looking at my phone for an hour I look at the thing and I go oh that fucking thing so I pick it up

and I go like an old Nintendo cartridge. And then I figure that's got to be fine. Harmonica. See, I get in there with a toothbrush, with the electric toothbrush, do a couple rounds. Yeah, I do that too occasionally. But on an odd night, I just give it the. You guys use electric toothbrushes?

Yeah, baby. Sonicare. I don't know why i don't i should but i don't the first time you do it it's like a world of difference but then it just becomes sea level i have one i just forget to use it much like my c-pad c-level c-pad this guy cannot remember C stuff. Well, is there anything you'd change about this cure beer? I kind of already did. I put a little more Cassis in mine. Just another drop. I'm going to do more just out of curiosity, but I will say that having a pint,

sip taking a gulp, and then adding an ounce of Cassis,is i think was pretty perfect it kind of made the beer not too sweet and i do get black currant but i'm gonna overdo it now just out of curiosity all right yeah i might do an overdue because i took a big sip of my bottle and put in less than a shot so i bet you were we're in the same ballpark but i want to i want to drink like a purple beer and see what that tastes like. Yeah, because spring has sprung and it would be floral and fancy. All right, folks.

Why don't you listen to these ads and when we come back, final thoughts. Give it up for your boy. You gotta give it up for your boy. You gotta give it up for your boy. You gotta give it up for your boy. Singing your own song wrong. You gotta give it up for your boy. It's like what my mom does. My mom will like scat out her favorite songs and like ruin them a little bit.

And we're back. Round two of Cure Beer beer i just took a little sip of my cassis thinking that man that stuff stinks it's got a real aroma on it it's not just sweet did you remember to keep it refrigerated much like i did well i might have no i did not i should do i might have refrigerated it i mean like a week after i opened it after i saw that i think you told me about that right that you Because I've been keeping it in the fridge, but I didn't read that. I thought you guys were going to try... More cassis is good.

Not creme de cassis. It was something else. Chambord? Chambord. Oh, I should have done that. I've got some of that. Chambord in this would be... I mean, of course.

Chambord's my favorite of the three. Yeah, it's more sparkly um yep okay i'm taking this i doubled up my cassis let's now i've got myself kind of a purple uh this beer is reminiscent of let's be honest it's brown it's brown it's purple brown i was gonna i was gonna say it was maroon who's the guy from the mcdonald's commercials who's purple grimace grimace it's it's like grimace is shit watery shit sips loose stool yeah too much double dent is too much too much yep it's still delicious but i don't want to drink i don't want to have this much sugar i'm trying to get fit as

a fiddle right that's right right i want that you know that thing when you have you when you could bounce a quarter off your ass of your own ass yeah because i got all these quarters i don't know what to do with them hey bring him take jeff out to a game a night of barcading. He would love that. I take him out. I pick him up. I'm in the driver's seat. He's in the back seat. I drive him to a barcade. I wait in the parking lot.

I give him quarters. He has a fun time. I bring him home. Bring him home. He gets all tuckered out. He goes to bed right away. Yeah. You got to tucker him out.

Get him going. That's always difficult. When I stay with Jeff, it's tough to get him down for the night. Oh, sure. Yeah, you got to get him in the bath. He always pops back. I'll be watching TV. He'll come out.

I can't get to sleep. I say, Jeff, you've been in there five minutes. Yeah. You haven't tried. Can I watch what you're watching? No, no, no. But I just remembered I had something to ask you. That sort of stuff. yeah yeah and it's sort of also uh

jeff we gotta get you in the bath and you but where's my rubber ducky can i bring your other toys too can i bring a luke skywalker toy yeah sure sure luke skywalker then i'm scratching my head geez we got that at funko pop that was He's going to fucking ruin the toys I'm getting. Mom, Dad, did Greedo shoot first? Oh, gosh. Go to sleep, you little freak. All right. Enough joking around.

Yes, thank you. Now it's time to get serious. Was this going to be a whole joke episode? A whole jokey episode? It kind of was. It kind of was. But we forgot to have a disclaimer. Heads up, this is going to be a whole jokey episode.

But now the time for casual lightness has come to a close. Right. We have to submit our final thoughts. My final thought is order again. This was great. It's, you know what I sort of noticed throughout this whole thing, we weren't taking sips and going like,

Ooh, yeah, this is great. It just kind of lives right on that line of being good. It's nothing too crazy. It's nothing too underwhelming. It's just whelming. Perfectly.

Well, just whelming. Tim. This is great. This is order again. Especially if you're in a park, a park that was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, especially, would be great.

Do it. Go for a Bramble Ramble with a Keir beer. I guess my only note, this is a little side note, is that I was drinking mine, and I was like, this is good. And then I took a sip from my can of just Coors original banquet beer, and that was better. only note that this little side note is that i was drinking mine i was like this is good and then i took a sip from my can of just core's original banquet beer and that was better so that's interesting that one of the ingredients is better than two of the ingredients mixed together but um i really liked it a pint with one ounce of cassis when i put the second ounce of cassis. When I put the second ounce of cassis, it was too much, too sweet.

I think this is a fun thing to do at a party. This is not a, like, I won't have two of these in a row. No, it's a daytime spring fling. Sure. I'll say this. You won't have two in a row, right? It's a one and done? I think so. So I'm going to say it's a one and done i think so so i'm gonna say it's a not

order again folks you can skip this one but but on a different day i see what you're saying maybe maybe you can order but that's what it means or again in your life yeah not two rounds order again can mean so many things tim but there's a lot of things that you wouldn't have two in a row of i i'm half the drinks on things that you wouldn't have two in a row of. Half the drinks on this show I wouldn't have two in a row of because I only really... When I go out at night, I have one fun cocktail and I switch to vodka sodas

or whatever. Sure, but here's the thing. I'm going to be the stinker who says skip it. Okay. Because look, Cassis, we all know it's... We all know Cassis is my least favorite of the Holy Berry three. You like Chambord. You like creme de more.

Creme de more. No, you put Chambord and creme de more. Really? I put Cassis dead last. Wow. And then here's the other thing, folks. This is so close to a spaghetti. How about spaghetti?

Yeah, spaghetti's better. Shit. That's true. Yes. Have the only thing you're used to and never grow and never change. No, no.het's better. Shit. That's true. Yes, have the only thing you're used to and never grow and never change. No, no. Here's the thing.

It's about balance. This, you're just adding a bunch of sugary berry to it. With the spaghet, you're adding bitter and lemon. Yeah, but the spaghet is more of a complex. But Jeff, the spring is sprung. Ramble, ramble. Lifestyle. Hashtag.

Hashtag it. I don't dispute the lifestyle, can you do that like you know if you're if you're shooting a film and you forget to slate at the beginning you could do a tail slate at the end yeah is it can i do that with a hashtag if i just say bramble ramble hashtag can i tail hashtag it yeah yeah but it has to be upside down okay Okay, great.
