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. Hi everyone. And Tim Kalpakis. What is up? And Tim Kalpakis. What is up? Long holiday weekend stylies. Yes. Now, did you guys eat some turkey yesterday or what? I did, but then I've got my tryptophan levels are a little higher than I'd like them to be.

Come on. Yes, yes. We all know the one word associated with turkey is true and i am required by law of a funny boy to say it every single time i hear turkey i'm required by some weird thing in my brain that makes me say the thing we've talked about this before that i'm sure you have to eat an entire turkey by yourself to even feel tryptophan. It's probably minuscule. No way. Is that true?

I don't know. I mean, is it possible that you bite into a bite of turkey and there's a lot of a chemical that makes you fall asleep? Somebody recently was telling me at work that they ate a whole apple, like core and all. And we were like, Oh yeah, the seeds, you know, have cyanide in them. And they were like, what?

And I was like, oh yeah, that's like an old thing. Everyone knows that. But it's like, if to eat, you need like pounds and pounds of seeds to give you. To poison you. To poison yourself. You know what I heard is that if you took like the tobacco out of a whole pack of cigarettes, you put it in a cheese cloth and you soaked it yeah you know let it drip i do that a lot yeah you dripped out all the tobacco juice

yeah that could kill you oh yeah to drink it could it could be poisoned wow arsenic you think yeah is that true uh yeah arsenic how How about this? Just stay away from cigarettes altogether. Well, smoking them is okay. Jeff. God, I'm up to a pack a day at this point. I better not come to LA and see you two driving around Los Feliz, both cigarettes in your hands, drive, no seatbelt, acting a fool. Yeah, we're going on one of our smoke cruises where we have cigarettes and we're hanging out each side of the car.

I do feel like cigarettes are kind of back, though. You think? You don't see the vapes as much. Everybody's back to acoustic cigarettes. That is funny. I have seen a couple people on the street, and I kind of clock them like, hey, interesting. New York is smoke town, man. If anyone's smoking cigs, it's the big apple.

I wonder if that has something to do. I mean, this could be the internet saying this, but like everybody is sort of saying that, you know, you got the end of the world blues type of stuff. Nothing's going right for businesses are crazy. There's wars. I wonder if people are smoking more because of that. Kind of like a who gives a shit type of a vibe.

Like I said on a recent episode of the show, I said, you may as well play video games. You know, why don't work? Don't do anything constructive with your life. Just sit around, play video games because who cares? It brings your pleasure. Now, maybe you should smoke some cigarettes. Not only is it pleasurable, but it shortens your life in a good way. You don't have to pay as much rent.

Get you out of here a little faster. Get you on your way. Off you go. We're all basically waiting in line. It just kind of gets you through the line. It saves you money on rent. I'll tell you that. Oh, man.

No, no. That's not how we want to start this podcast. No, no. I'll say this, though, about the SIGs. It does sort of feel like there were all these technological advances in the last couple years and we all embraced them didn't we we all embraced uber we all embraced streaming and even things like um the automatic hair dryer uh not hair dryer hand dryer yes the dyson airblade hey put your head under it's a hair dryer the the accelerator and then we learned all these we we didn't think of the downsides Yes. The Dyson Airblade. Hey, put your head under it. It's a hairdryer. The accelerator.

And then we learned all these. We didn't think of the downsides. With the hand dryer, they say it spreads around poop particles. The hand dryer does? Yeah. It's better to go paper towel. It's more hygienic. But why do you have poop particles if you just washed your hands?

You're in a public bathroom. They're all swirling around anyway. Oh, blowing all around the room. Yeah. I've been doing that thing where instead of I go in the stall and then instead of sitting down on the toilet, I've been kind of doing a handstand and kind of launching it up into the sky. You've been doing

that thing? You try not to do that but then you find yourself like oh i wasn't supposed to do that thing you act like you're going to the toilet shitting down but instead at least i have somebody just kind of was peeking under to see who was in there and it's your face hello but with uh but with sigs you know they said popcorn lung that's worse than the additives is you don't want popcorn lung from vaping and all that so people said fine i'll just go back to regular ass cigarettes regular ass weed interesting popcorn lung that sounds awful what's that jeff that's like you know you're they use carrier oils in vapes to carry the good the good stuff and i guess you you can't have too many i don't know

the science of it you don't want to be sucking down hot oils it gives you popcorn lung okay i think i'm imagining something maybe that's not true but that's what i'm imagining imagine something gross. Yeah. If you do have popcorn along, you might want to suck down some hot butter and, you know, have kind of a movie, the full movie. Put some jalapenos down there for Hanford. Well, you know what I got recently? It was a pepperoncinis.

I'm going to try and make a, because I put them in my salad sometimes. I'm going to try and make one of those pepperoncini martini. Bad Roman. Did you talk about it on the pot already? The pepperoncini martini? Yeah. I remember last time i did a uh hanford it's his way through new york city oh good oh good good tim you're gonna say something a second ago i was gonna say that we have not discussed uh on the pod yet a recent trip uh that me and jefferson took we were up in wine country napa, like a couple of sideways guys,

sipping on a little bit of the grape liquid itself, you know, which was fantastic. And then on the way back, we stopped in the flagship Trader Vic's in Oakland and had some Mai Tais at a wonderful tiki bar. There's good drinking up there in Noracal is what I'm getting at. I saw the pictures. You guys looked like you had a great time. You were on a vineyard.

Yeah. Stayed on the vineyard. What fun stuff did you guys get up to up there? We ate grapes. Picked grapes right off the vine. We ate grapes right off the vine. We walked around. They had a pond up there.

They had a fireplace. Not a fireplace. Fire pit. Oh, I love fire pit. Late night fire pit. Let me ask you this about the grapes. When you ate them fresh off the vine, what did they taste like? Better than you'd think.

Tastes grapey. They were sweet. Really? The skin is a little bitter, but it tastes like a delicious sweet grape with a pit in it. I thought wine grapes were all going to be something different. That's what I thought. But you see, you learn something different. That's what I thought. But you see, you learn something when you take these trips, Mike. Yeah, I'm always, anytime I take a trip,

I got just my head in my mobile looking at all my friends who are home. You know, you get so homesick as soon as you're one mile out of town. Oh, what's everyone up to back there? Who's posting? Who's posting on the Tw sphere sorry x um but uh no speaking of learning jeff did you feel like you learned because i would it's tricky with wine tasting i always want to learn but then i always get drunk so i feel like a good uh goal to set is to learn one fact sure you know like to learn ourselves We paced ourselves pretty well to start.

We did not embarrass our friend Robert in the beginning. In the beginning, no. In the beginning only. We went to Frank Family Vineyards and we got the whole deluxe tour. This woman, Olivia, walks us through all this stuff. And she was so good about talking about wine and so verbose. I wasn't catching it all,

but it really got me in the right headspace for all my sips, you know? Yeah, I wasn't catching any of it, but it got me in the right headspace. It would kind of rinse over the brain and then go away. You're too verbose.

Olivia, you're too verbose. Olivia, you're being too verbose. What was your favorite? We had some really good Cabernets and we had a few in a row like three real good we were kind of doing this thing where it was zeroing in like you know this this wine has grapes from the valley floor and the mountain and then this one and then the fanciest one is like this expensive one has just the grapes from this one acre and they're all from this. So that's what I'm learning. I think that my favorite wine would be like, if you could make the whole bottle from one grape, single source, really in there. Truly.

Yeah. Because they were telling us, you know, if you start to think about wine as like an expression of the climate and like the topography of this one chunk of land, which I always kind of do anyway, but yeah, I know, you know, I know you do that. I'm saying for Tim and, uh, you know, they said some blends are good. If you got a good winemaker with a good palette working for you, he can sort of balance out the wine with, Hey, this vineyard is producing, this is a little more, whatever volcanic or whatever. This one's a little more fruity, put them together. That's a little more fruity. Put them together.

That's a good red blend. I always thought of red blend as being like, oh, that's like a cheap whatever, like a catch-all. But it gives the winemaker more authorship, basically. But, Tim, I agree. And then they got into the really expensive wines and it was like this is a the purest possible expression of like this little chunk of land all the grapes are right from there and you taste it and it's just it's fantastic yeah and that was our favorite right so so the patriarch but i did i did like that idea that when i hear blend i'm like no i don't want blend no way but i do like the the the vintner is like a symphony composer a little bit of this

a little bit of violins you know you can't have a song if you have 80 people up there all on in the orchestra you don't just ask one violinist to play the whole show oh god then you got uh you got um oh geez then you know who you got then coming up is the guy who's like. Yes, yes. He's got his guy. Yes. His name. No, his name.

I forget his name, but he comes up and he goes, oh, well, Cowbell. Yep. Yes. There it is, folks. And let's take it to Booze News. What the hell is his name? And I'm not. Bruce Dickinson.

With the greatest top yourself evan and you better not disappoint us outdo yourself in one week hey evan wow us wow us dazzle me um well well well

it looks like i've got a little booze news today tim tim handed over the uh editor-in-chief hat and today i'm doing booze news now you've heard of an official state bird you've heard an official state flower sure this is all normal to me so far wisconsin could become the first state with an official cocktail that's right a what an official cocktail and it will be the brandy old fashion yeah no surprise there now this is something obviously we've heard of it because we might be doing it today on the pod but uh it's a funny as i'm reading this thing i'm not exactly sure why they're doing it just as a thing to do, I guess. Like why would a state, I guess maybe to get strum up some, uh,

press for the state. I'm not sure. Well, yeah. I mean, I guess they're drumming up press for this drink they want to spread around or get some attention and maybe it'll be good for tourists or whatever. But it is funny to set the precedent of if other States, if we have our state bird and state flag and stuff now they're kind of it's it's sort of putting the ball on the rest of our courts to say what are hey we got this what do you what do you got well there's some countries that have national cocktails right didn't we there are and then uh there's some oh actually i don't know about that

i thought you had said states no no uhries like Caipirinha is like. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Oh, yes. Brazil had. Yeah, you're right. But Alabama and Virginia have whiskey as their state spirit. But that's not cocktail. So any state can have their state anything.

I guess so. But here's the thing. It's not as I'm reading this. I don't understand it exactly. But it's like it's a resolution not a law yet and the resolution has to go in front of somebody whatever man and then yeah wow what a blast from the past that how a bill becomes a law yeah this is good how does it get ratified i have not heard the word resolution in this sense in 30 years. And I'm like, Oh, I had to write this on a quiz.

Mrs. Ellsworth taught me this. Yeah. The state pants in California are corduroys. How about that? That's just an idea. I had no way. It's gotta be a resolution.

There's gotta go through to the mayor. The mayor's got to sign off or governor. I don't know. But, um, the one thing that I found interesting was Wisconsin has this. They're the dairy state. They're the state. State drink is milk. Ice cream. Yeah. State pastry is the crinkle or the cringle.

I don't know what that is. State pastry. Pringle. And then corn is the state vegetable. But as I was reading this, too, they were talking about, oh, a brandy or old fashioned can be made with usually whiskey, but also a gin as well. Gin, bourbon and whiskey. I don't I don't know about gin. That's odd. But with the with later being the most popular gin, I've never heard of such a thing. I know I'm. That's rather odd.

You're going to want a dark, oaky, warm fella, not a gin. Well, we're going to have to see. We're going to have to look that up in a little bit and maybe do it on the pod. What would the California cocktail be? I feel like New York State cocktail should be a martini. I know there's the

Manhattan, but a martini was kind of invented there and rose to prominence and it feels very New York-y to me. And there's a lot of steaks to cut through. I'm trying to think of the whole state. Oh, yeah. Fine, then Niagara Falls Punch.

Okay, gin old-fashioned. My god. Okay. What do they drink out here in Cali? Probably margarita. you guys are drinking tiki man you're tiki's yeah we're tiki man i don't know i think it's got to be something something tex-mex popular or like uh something a pacifico with a lime in it tequila ish yeah see that's the thing too with uh with california it's so it's so tall it's such a long state.

You cover all types of people. Mike, you're talking. We know. We drove it. Yeah, I know. That's why I'm bringing it up. Because you drove it. We drove it, motherfucker.

Here's what else I'll say. I have some personal booze news. I am currently on a WhatsApp thread with a bunch of people who want to get me invested in Bitcoin. My number got. I've never had this before. My number got picked up by some scammer or whatever. And it's like these huge swaths of text being like talking about how to invest and why to invest in Bitcoin. And I keep asking, I was like, how'd you get my number? Why am I on this? And no one will get back to me.

But every once in a while a quote-unquote real person will chime in and it's so funny it's like hi uh alan allen's the alan investment team or something hi uh dr allen or professor allen i'd like to um know how much money i can make if i put in this amount and he's like i've never seen like you know bots not not bots just like plants interacting weird he's probably just talking to himself what were you doing on whatsapp is it did you do some international travel or are you regularly a whatsapper my summer basketball team for some reason decided that we wanted to do our chain on whatsapp and that's where we are interesting it's kind's kind of a Gen Z thing, huh? Maybe it's because you got some Samsung users

and it was thrown off the iMessage or something. Maybe, maybe. But I don't mind it. I was nice to have. I did talk to some family members who were down in Mexico at some point. That's nice. On WhatsApp. So that's nice.

Practical. Yeah. Are you guys slacking? Are you guys doing any slacks? Are you on Slack slack i slack at work slack off at work that's different that's different god we used to slack off at work didn't we mike oh jeff at your old uh uh production assistant jobs yes yes we can probably talk about it now yeah yeah i'm

not i was the archive specialist yeah sure i managed the digital archives sure yes yes oh my god the skill with which you have you that's your perfect skill set it's it's a it's ultimately a librarian's degree i'm i should have had yeah yeah uh mart Martin Scorsese would have been proud of old Hanford. The care he took archiving all this footage, man. You had a great skill where people would come up to you and say like, Oh Mike, would you like to learn how to run the website?

And you'd look him dead in the face and say, no, no, no, no. They said, do I want to learn dream weaver and help make like build a build a website i said this is not why i moved to la so i'm gonna stay where i am because i don't want any more responsibility here yeah and i want to just be honest and say that is so funny i get it and it's great because

everyone gets these entry-level jobs at companies and then after a couple years it's kind of weird and sad so they give you promotions but for you to just be like, oh, not me. I'm not like, I'm a PA. I'm not climbing your ladder to nowhere. Yes. And hey, guess who had to learn Dreamweaver and make the website? This guy, because the guy next to him said no to everything. Well, you, but I would say I said no to a ton of stuff and then you got a job there. So they were like, oh yeah, that's true. We got to hire somebody to do all this stuff Mike refuses to everything. Well, you, but I would say, I said no to a ton of stuff and then you got a job there. So they were like,

Oh yeah, that's true. We got to hire somebody to do all this stuff Mike refuses to do. But we wouldn't have pool jumpers without that job. Jeff and I snuck away and edited that thing all day long. Because at one point, the company was growing, so they

annexed some offices across the hall. And we said, oh, we'll go over there. Here's the thing, Tim. Out of sight, out of mind. That's very true. We would get asked to do things all the time when we were in the field of vision. And when you're across the hall, people stop asking you to do stuff. So you can edit in peace.

We had a phone. Nobody knew the number. And we wouldn't go on our uh instant message apps or whatever uh aol or whatever well yeah whatever it was so we couldn't nobody could message us they could email us if they had our email but i don't know if they did and some people would come by there sometime looking like okay these are where the new uh chairs are gonna go oh oh you guys are over oh you're now. Okay, that's good to know. That's why we haven't been getting lunches for two weeks.

I like the idea that the way to get in touch is email and they didn't have your emails. No, we didn't give out that information. We kept that private. Alright, is that it for Booze News? That's all Booze News I have. Wrap it up. Wrap it. All right. Is that it for booze news? That's all the booze news I have. Wrap it up.

Wrap it. Turtles. Nope. Double Dragon. Contra. Close. Close. Street Fighter 2, Tim.

You probably remember it from your dad's pizzeria. Yes, we had that there. We certainly did. You ever play Street Fighter 1? No. Is that just Street Fighter 1? No. Is that just Ken and Ryu? I should. I played it on a, I forget what console, but it was no fun. The characters, they couldn't punch or kick each other.

A lot of walking. Speaking of consoles, I'm still do not own a PS5. Ah. Just so you know. Well, Christmas is coming, Mike. Yeah. Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fed.

Maybe you ask the Patrons for a little PS5. Yeah. Hey, maybe we start up a new Patreon level. Get the sloppy boys some PS5s. We got to start wish lists. Right, right, right. Like those e-girls have, where you just click on her name and it's like, oh, what does Tim want? What does Tim desire?

Ooh, 30 ribeyes. Wow, okay. I'll get in that. That'll make it in that thing. I'll sit on that. And me, 30 PS5s. And me, 30 socks. 15 pairs.

15 pair. There you go. 15 pair. I've been starting saying pair singular. It makes it sound like a thing. Hey, 15 pair of testes. I'm shooting a porno movie. I need 15 pairs of testes.

That's me on the phone. I'm shooting a porno movie. I need about 15 pairs. I need 15 testes. God, you wouldn't believe how we run through these things. Testy is funny too, not testicle. Testy, everyone has their option. It's like you could say dolma.

You could say dolmas or dolmadas. I guess you could say. Oh, my testies. I got one testy and one testicle. You hit me in the testicles, I get testy. That's right. You know what I hate, though? What?

When guys say, oh, she had nice chesticles. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The worst. Chesticle? I don't think I've ever heard that in real life, but it just does make me think of people who say wifey. Yeah. I love my wifey's chesticles. Oh, double header.

That's the worst. I got to ask wifey. Yeah. I remember that sketch I wrote for comedy. Bang, bang. The touching machine where a guy, a scientist invented a teleporting machine so that he could teleport his hands home to touch his wife's tits

and it was like it was like you this is amazing technology uh it could be used for other things and he's like it can but there was a funny yeah maybe that was the funny turn of it but it was like something even stupider it was like I just love my wife or something like that. And then at the end, I think I reached and I touched Reggie Watts' butt. Yes, I think you're right. Yes, real high-minded satire over there on the FC. Okay, can we talk about the drink of the day? Thank you.

Yes, please. Okay, can we talk about the drink of the day? Thank you. Yes, please. This is a tradition, a Sloppy Boys podcast tradition. That's right. Yes. Thanksgiving weekend, the Friday of Thanksgiving weekend.

It's a wonderful weekend because he did the big day yesterday. Now he's just kind of laying around, flopping around, watching movies. hopping around, watching movies, you know? And we, a couple years ago, did the old-fashioned with bourbon, and we said, this is great. The classic. We should always have old-fashioned. It really is good for this weekend. I think old-fashioned is a great drink for Thanksgiving dinner because it is, you know, stiff and small,

and I don't like drinking beer with my turkey dinner and wasting too much space., stiff and small. And I don't like drinking beer with my turkey dinner and wasting too much space. Stiff and small. Tim, that sort of reminds me of the time you and I took a shower together. Shower. No, but Tim, we also said we should do this every year. But wait, same drink every year? That's a little weird.

Yeah, you can't do that. Different variations. Variations on a tradition. That's nice nice it's nice to have some tradition there's no thanksgiving traditions you know it's nice to have one um then the following year last year we did the brandy old-fashioned go back and listen to that episode as the precursor to this one because if you haven't heard it this is a drink that comes from wisconsin there is this whole tradition of wisconsin supper clubs and they are these big old family steakhouse type restaurants with a big bar and and there's like the relish platter and

there's the dessert dessert and the dessert and you've been yes yes so after we did we did the uh that drink and the brandy old-fashioned sweet and i had only heard of these supper clubs and watched some youtube videos and there's like multiple like there's a travel show and there's a there's a pbs show all about wisconsin supper clubs and i recommend it as a long holiday weekend watch. Um, and I eventually, I had watched these videos and then some slop heads from Wisconsin had told us about the Wisconsin supper clubs. But then last June, me and our friend Ben went to Milwaukee and I finally ate at one and it was a lovely experience. And we recapped that whole experience at some point back in like June or so. And the crucial part of it was that I had

a brandy old fashioned sweet, but really that's, it's a old fashioned that is made with brandy instead of whiskey, but then they top it with, with seven up. Cause when you, when you order a brandy old fashioned, they say sweet or sour and the more popular one is sweet so i said sweet and i think i told you guys this part it was crazy they the guy built my drink and then topped it with the seven up and then dumped it into a shaker and shook it i've never seen soda get shaken before it seemed like a physics was a little flawed but the drink was delightful and these wisconsin old fashions i love the way they look they're they're not like you go to a craft cocktail bar and you get an old-fashioned and it's very elegant and it has a small amount of

liquor and it has a fancy luxardo cherry these ones are more like the old fashions that you see uh rick dalton or don draper drinking where it's like it's got a lot it's not one big cube it's like just a little cup full of ice and mashed up oranges and cherries muddled and it's topped and it just looks it's a little more uh approachable approachable there you go it looks like just like a fun, uh, fun, like drink from the fifties or something. And the, and the cherry is not a Luxardo. It's like a cartoon red food coloring cherry. Exactly. Like the red one that you put in a, when you make a ice cream Sunday at home.

Yeah. When you put that little cherry on top. Now, Tim, when you go to a supper club, my impression is that you have a huge family and you stay all day. Yeah. Does that sound about right? Yeah. You could be, or you could be me and you could just go with your one 45 year old friend and you, you sit and you have 45 minutes, 45 year old.

You're in and out for five seconds. No. Yeah, it is that it's, it's, you make a night of it. think you go you kind of go after work and you you start at the bar you place your food order at the bar but then they seat you i like that that's cool you're drinking your drink and then they say your table's ready you place your drinks on the server's uh tray she walks you to your table the table's set and there's already food on it like your salad is already served you know that's cool i like it's fantastic and then the other thing i told you guys about was that their desserts are like they have these dessert drinks that are like big ice cream sundaes that are grasshoppers and brandy alexanders and stuff

like that and just yeah amazing steaks big heavy slabs of meat and stuff like that but when i went there i had the brandy old-fashioned sweet and we talked about it but we've always been talking about well what about the other one the brandy old-fashioned sour where instead of topping it with your seven up, you put a splash of sour mix up to the top. And these are for, I've also heard people, you can use like squirt or different like sour sodas. You ever have half and half? It's like a soda you'll see in a liquor store.

That's like basically just a very like lemon limey soda without as much sugar in it. Interesting. Wait, I still have some of that grapefruit soda from some drink we did oh great could be around too very well could be around too could be around too but come on let's i like the idea of sour mix because it's so that seems insane to me to throw that in an old fashion no it's not it's not insane well i love a whiskey sour that's that's i'm ordering at a bar i'm in the mood for a whiskey drink and I'm choosing between a whiskey sour and an old fashioned. So maybe this is the best of both

worlds, or maybe this is garbage for the toilet. Last Thanksgiving, we did which old fashioned, just the brandy old fashioned? Brandy old fashioned sweet. And now this is the brandy old fashioned sour. Gotcha. And let's, that drink is very sweet because brandy is already sweeter than whiskey right like their thing is that in the midwest brandy is a spirit that's made from grapes it's sort of a wine-esque i guess but it's like a it's a distilled spirit from grapes so it is a little bit sweeter so when you add the sweet stuff to it you're really in for a sweet treat so maybe the sour version will be perfectly balanced so what we're doing i couldn't find like the perfect this is not an iba drink this is a local wisconsin drink but um i just took our liquor.com recipe that we used last year for the brandy old-fashioned sweet and we're going to swap

and make it sour we're going to do the sour mix instead of the seven up so here is the recipe from liquor.com that we're using three dashes angostura bitters two orange slices two brandied or maraschino cherries. I'm going maraschino. One sugar cube. Two ounces brandy. Sour mix to top. Garnish with a brandied or maraschino cherry. Garnish, orange slice. And here's the steps. Add the bitters, orange slices, cherries, sugar cube to an old-fashioned glass and muddle to combine.

Whoa. Okay. So that's what's happening here, folks. You're mashing up cherries sugar cube to an old-fashioned glass and muddle to combine whoa okay so that's what's happening here folks you're mashing up cherries you're mashing up orange in the drink right we saw don draper do this now what do you orange slices how big are you making an orange slice soccer practice or smaller no that would be a wedge let's say a slice but like the like the half circle not the whole circle. Gotcha. Gotcha. Add ice to fill the glass, then add the brandy. Wow. Top with sour

mix, stir to chill. Garnish with a skewered cherry and an orange slice. Okay. I like that. I like building something right in the glass. I like not shaking. When I was at the Wisconsin Supper Club that I went to, I saw the something right in the glass. I like not shaking. When I was at the Wisconsin supper club that I went to,

I saw the guy shook, but it seemed unnecessary. So I'm not going to shake. All right. Cool. Do you want to try it out? Uh, yeah,

I just want to curious. Do you guys have sweet and sour mix? Uh, what do you got? Tim? I've been juicing limes and lemons all day. Beautiful. I made it.

You Googled it and you found a recipe? It's basically half simple syrup and then half citrus juice. And I did, for the citrus juice, half lemon, half lime. Nice. Beautiful. I have store-bought stuff. I got Zing Zang. But yeah, anybody, if you want to make your own, it's just citrus sugar and water.

Yes. How about you, Mike? What do you got? I got lime juice, but I'll mix that with the simple syrup. Great. Great. All right, folks. We're going to go make these drinks.

We'll be right back here after these messages. and we're back with the brandy old-fashioned sour and it looks good oh yeah look at that huh you guys you guys are darker than mine yeah i i had a a blood orange and I didn't have the cartoon cherry, so I had to go Luxardo. This thing cost me three Luxardos, Tim. Jeff, I also had a blood orange. I wonder if we went to the same table at Albertsons and thought the regular oranges were... We did. We did. This brand is called Dracula Blood Oranges. It's funny. Now, normally in life, I feel like a blood orange would be like, oh, he made it fancy, but I didn't want a fancy drink. I wanted to like a Wisconsin supper club classic.

This, the look and color of this thing feels so, uh, seventies issue. I don't know. Tim, yours looks pretty classic too, though. I, here's what I did. I remembered at the supper clubs, my glass was on the smaller side. And then I remembered that a lot of times the rocks glasses we use, old-fashioned glasses, are actually double old-fashioned glasses. So I remembered I have this Crown Royal glass

that I believe is smaller. And this might be what you would call a single old-fashioned glass. When I was topping up with the sour mix at the end, I only got about like an ounce and a half of sour mix up top. So if you have a bigger glass, you might... That's that's pretty good oh okay um i did use a bigger glass and i i measured it just to make sure because i wanted to know what top up really meant and it was an ounce and a half

a little bit more maybe even two well it looks like you have a bigger glass but you were able to fit more ice in there so we're i went ice crazy because i was worried about too much sour and it's funny that this is the sour one because it still has a lot of muddled fruit and a sugar cube. It smells really good. Oh yeah? You're swayed by the smells? Maybe take a taste?

Yeah, I'm getting swayed. Here we go. Sips. Sips. Let's get in there. Ooh. Oh, the happy days are here again, baby. Ooh, that's got a nice little tart to it. Tartuffe. I could see myself having done this for many years in the past.

If you had known about it earlier. And reminding me of it today. In the future. Now, Mike, you mentioned Tartuffe. Thanks, man. i said it's you missed my first point which was it's tart yeah yes so then then of course i i my brain said well you know another word that sounds like that and it's got a little bit of a flourish on it tartoo say it just say it no one's gonna hear it and no one little bit of a flourish on it. Tartuffe, say it. Just say it. No one's going to hear it.

And no one's going to call you out on it. I think that that could be a nice new Thanksgiving tradition. You take a sip of a cocktail and you announce to your family, Tartuffe. Ah, Tartuffe. The reason they have you read Tartuffe in school is an example of a deus ex machina. Oh, yeah. Tartuffe in school is an example of a deus ex machina. In that play, it's like, you learn that this device is

kind of a bad thing, where you're like, a story is happening, and then out of nowhere, the conclusion comes out of nowhere. And I don't remember the conflict in Tartuffe, but I know there's a family in a house eating dinner or something, and then just a guy walks in and is like all the problems are solved and you're like you're like thank you is it also like an example of a farce play where everyone's kind of

leaves the room and that the guy who's about to get married is really having an affair with this person but she's also having a yeah yeah like a door-to-door but but I don't know is it a comedy I thought so. You know, I'm going to check it out. Tartuffe. Well, I love that type of shit.

I've never heard of Tartuffe. This is weird to me. Tartuffe? Tartuffe? Never heard of it. Tartuffe or the imposter or the hypocrite first performed in 1664. That's why you don't like it. Jeff,

you like, I knew it as the hypocrite. Keep going. The characters of Tartuffe. I'm not going to read through this now, but yes, Tartuffe. Tartuffe to you two, to you both. Thanks. Many Tartuffes, but it is very funny that, yeah, it's like, oh no, what will happen?

And then like the King's guard walks in and is just like, all is settled. And it's all over. Okay. Enough tartuta. Let's talk about the brandy old fashioned sour for once. I wonder if I'm mixing up that play with the importance of being earnest. And that's a farce, I believe. Well, that's Sir Oscar Wilde.

That's wild. Wild to the bone. Wild thing. Oh, that maraschino cherry. I got a big... I wanted red ones, but I didn't want the little ones in the ice cream sundae section, in the

liquor section at Albertsons. They had big, fat, red cherries. They're so good. Big boys. Oh, yeah, you guys. I thought you had a tomato in there, Tim. Are they filthies? Yeah, they're filthies. I got so much cherry juice on my fucking phone here. God, that is good.

I feel like I'm drinking Hawaiian punch though. Yeah. See, mine's pretty tart. Maybe I didn't make my sour mix right. Mine is it is it's just funny that this drink would be called the Brandy Old Fashioned Sour because it is an extremely sweet drink. But when I think about it in comparison to the other one, I guess it's sour.

But you're right, Jay. I mean, if not for the Angostura bitters and the brandy, this is just such a rum punch we're drinking. So if you made this thing with rum, you'd be on the island. Would you, Tim? A rum old fashioned. That sounds pretty good. And we've never done rum punch. There's a Caribbean drink.

We did planter's punch. Is that on the IBA? No. Damn. Well, we got to see if we can get it on there. But the book, the novel that Jackie Brown was based on, it's called Rum Punch. I watched that movie, Jackie Brown. Yeah, I think I was with you guys.

I was thinking the Rum Diaries. I just watched Jackie Brown and I loved it. It is very good. Coffee, C-O-F-F-Y, is a Pam Greer movie. And Tarantino named the vista coffee shop coffee with a y okay it's open mike that's the news what the vista oh the vistas are back open yes oh the coffee shop next i see what you're saying i thought you were talking about the uh los feliz three okay no no tarantino reopened the vista we're back you want you wanted a bigger Actually, I see what you're saying. I thought you were talking about the Los Feliz 3. Okay. No, no.

Tarantino reopened the Vista. We're back. You wanted a bigger reaction from Mike? I was getting nothing off this guy. Well, I have been asking about it. All this Tartuffe talk, no one's talking Vista. I came at it from a weird angle. Mike, go ahead.

Somebody posted, tagged me in something on Instagram that was saying, Deadpool 3 got pushed. Oh, I can't imagine how you feel. When I saw that, I was like, I had to leave work early. Everybody's checking on you. How are you holding up, Mike?

Mr. Fallon, can I miss? How come? Jimmy, he heard about the Deadpool 3 stuff. Oh, let him go. Mr. Fallon, I need to miss. I need to miss.

That was like in gym class, right? You would say, next week, or not even gym class, like a sport. Just anything. CYO basketball. I have to miss. Oh, coach, I have to miss. I love missing. Yeah, me too.

And you mean to tell me there's a lemon, a lime, an orange, a cherry, and I added a sugar cube to this. Seriously, man. I bet there's some little crunchy sugars down at the bottom, but no spoilers. I really this is fucking delicious. It's a sweet treat but i'm i used zing zang brand sweet and sour mix and when i tasted it was not very sour it kind of just tasted like a good lemonade and um i gotta say my drink is uh i'm not getting a ton of bitters and i'm really not getting a ton of brandy. I'm just having a delicious rum punch.

I put rum in it. I tried to get sour mix and I just saw margarita mix everywhere. That's no good. Salty. What's the difference? I mean, probably very, very,

very similar. Margarita shouldn't be made with mix. You know what I'm saying? It's like a triple sec lime. You know what I'm saying? It's like tequila, triple sec, lime. So why all the margarita mix, everybody? Does the mix have alcohol in it? No. Okay.

So it's maybe just trying to replicate everything but the alcohol's taste, maybe. Yeah, perhaps. But then the triple sec has stuff in it i don't like that either now i feel like this this is a beautiful especially with the cherry and orange garnish if you got the family around for the holiday walking out with a tray of these you're gonna knock some socks off and everyone would love this i and i think it's perfect for those purposes drinking right now picturing a wisconsin suburb club i don't know that it's perfect for those purposes. Drinking right now, picturing a Wisconsin Suburb Club, I don't know that it's getting me in the mood to eat a big giant steak.

You know, it's a little bit of a sweet. Tim, let's be honest. It doesn't take much. No, I would refuse the most delicious steak. This is not a shing thing. You know what I mean? I want a shing thing. Okay, I see what you mean.

If you had a steak in your stomach and this thing met up with it, it would be thud. Flap. It would flap up against it and ooze off of it. Oh, here it comes. And then the steak gets mad.

Oh, Jeff. And then the steak gets mad. Ooh, Jeff. Ooh, Jeff, you just went wild for a second. Zencaster shut down and then you bounced out to your room, Mike. But now you're back, I think. What were we talking about? We were talking about a thud, the steak thudding. Just the idea of the steak getting angry was very funny to me.

Yeah. Time for a page turn moment, a new chat. Well, here's a page. So if the audience might be able to tell right now, we had a little audio flub and now we're back. But this, I had an audio flub the other day. I'm listening to my headphones. Yeah.

You know, my wired headphones into my phone, my earbuds. And I've been so like dried out and staticky. I take off a fleece and it's just like, yeah, I don't know what I did or what I touched. But all of a sudden I felt like a zap in my headphones and it felt like a charge met in the center of my brain went between the headphones like i was like oh and i'm like i like whoa i like pulled them out of my head and i was just like oh man that kind of feel felt very strange you got electrocuted man off those buds yeah right in that brain i heard i i had an audio flub the other day i was uh at a coffee shop talking to a beautiful woman and then i heard i heard an audio

flub i said oh i hope you excused yourself that came came from my fucking ass. Nasty. Wait, it was you or her? It was me. It was you? It was me, if you can believe it. I turned around back. I looked down by my ass. Nasty.

Just speaking of audio flubs. I was like, did you hear that? Did you hear that? Awful. That came from around and down. That came from me. You hear that audio flub? There's also some type of solid mass flub going on back there, too. There's a solid mass flub floating around, too.

Can you believe that shit? Casually swearing to a girl you're on a date with can you leave that shit i shit my pants i can't believe can you believe that shit doug benson used to have a funny joke that was uh he's like i was taking a uh a shit or i was on sitting on the toilet the other day for over two hours i was like i'm too old for this shit i'm getting too old for this shit that's funny very good very good what do you guys uh it's a long holiday weekend yesterday was turkey day what do you guys how do you guys tend to roll out the rest of this weekend is it uh are there any traditions that you have or do you play a bit by year? Because I remember a couple of years ago,

it was fucking the Beatles documentary. Get back. It dropped. And that was just, I, I had, I watched that by like, first I watched it here.

And then when I was home for Christmas, I watched it with a family again. That's how good of a boring, put it on and forget about a type of watch at once yeah yeah i'm due to watch that again i'm due to put that on just have it on uh i freaking no i don't have a tradition or anything but it is like a couple days of the like the rest of this weekend is one of those things where you just kind of are lazing about and you say to yourself i'm gonna be a little piggy for the next couple days no no i don't have the cash for that you can't afford to subscribe to your own patreon not for that money uh but no i sort of i do sort of revel in the uh

Sweetness on the bottom A lot of the sugar Rested down there You can see it Yeah Ooh That reminds me When I was a kid

I went to I went to to friendlies with my mom and my grandma i got so i got something you know at friendlies they would have the the upside down cone like guy yeah it was like eminem eyeballs yeah yeah it was like a milkshake or something or a sundae and the waitress said oh and uh you, there's a little surprise at the bottom. I said, okay, there's going to be a toy down there. Some type of little plastic figurine I'm picturing. Sure. I eat, eat, eat.

I don't even enjoy the thing because I'm trying to get to the toy. I was so toy crazy back then. Addicted to toys. Just the idea, toys. I eat, eat, eat. I get to the bottom and I get to get these to these uh reese's pieces and i'm eating those yeah yeah yeah and i'm like looking at my mom i was like i don't know what where the thing is do we have to go tell her that i'm done and then then she gives it to me

because i was like oh it's probably that because they don't want the toy to get sticky okay so i'll finish this and she was like my mom was like no no the reeses are the surprise i was like i had reeses on the top of this fucking thing it's not a surprise i don't care about this it's more of a re you know introduction it's not a surprise yeah it's not the fucking deus ex machina up in here Machina. Tartuffe up in here. This is no Tartuffe, mom. My grandparents got me a cheapy little thing of bubbles from like the grocery store. You know, like you blow bubbles and it's got a little plastic tank. Yeah.

Yep. And on it, it said magic wand inside. Oh, uh-oh. And I thought, oh my God, there's a fucking magic wand in this bubble thing why isn't everyone buying these and so i reached my little crook finger in there and i pulled out the little i pulled out the plastic thing which lets you blow the bubbles i said get that out of here and find this gotta find this wand once i find the magic wand i won't need something like that i'll be i won't need any of you any of you and i sat there and i explained my thought my thought process to my parents and

they're like yeah okay whatever it's like it's like no i'm gonna find this magic wand then i'm out of here i don't need any you. I got my hand all covered in bubble solution, and Dad finally broke it to me. Now, the magic wand is what they call the little plastic ring that you blow the bubbles through. Did you just, like, grit your teeth? You're like, I hate you. This sucks.

I want to go home. I one time was given a gift of a uh a camouflaged pencil and a birthday party or something and on the way home my brother told me he's like oh yeah that's a or no my brother's friend was like oh yeah that's a camouflage you bring that into the woods and it disappears and i was like okay so i went we got home i got right out of the car and went right into this like big overhanging tree that had like bushes around it and you can kind of you know get in into the woods a little bit with it yeah and i brought it in looked at the pencil thinking it was going to vanish before my eyes and i then i was like okay and i like held it deeper and deeper into the bush and i was like

oh i don't know i didn't i didn't know i was like how i got tricked i mean he wasn't trying to trick me i don't know how i was fooled but i was like this isn't working for some reason we were both young men given to flights of fantasy. That's right. And I'll tell you, it still happened to me. I ordered a Dyson vacuum cleaner and the thing said it's here and someone stole it from me. You ordered a Dyson and it got stolen? I found a very low-priced Dyson. Maybe this is why I'm getting scammed here.

Maybe it was never sent to me, but it said it was delivered today. I got home from work and it was not in the lobby of my building. Hey, my Dyson is good. Yeah. You know what I saw just today? A pair of headphones,

Dyson headphones, and they had an extra plastic thing. These are $800 headphones. Yeah. And it looked like a chin strap. You know? It looked like a Mega Man helmet or something. Oh!

They called it a visor. It wasn't a visor. It was an air purifier that looped around your chin. Oh, I've heard of this. And it gave you like fresh air in your nose and mouth. Yeah. It's like a mask, but on a pair of 700 headphones

that's uh does it cover your mouth or just blows the nice air only like kind of sort of like up to your nose weird sounds like my c-pap machine you're off that right i bailed on i still have it my health insurance company like paid 900 for it and I just sort of gave it one month of, you know, I, I said, if you can win me, you know,

I have this for anything in life. I'll give you one month. You have something you're trying to pitch me on. You have a new idea for me one month to win me over new investment opportunity. You put me on a crypto WhatsApp. Sure. Once they tell me why I'm there how i'm there i'm all ears but i'm not listening until i know why well tim you don't need it because you solved it on the

road i know it just sort of uh when when we played the hopscotch music festival in raleigh north carolina i all i had to do was four things an anti-snore nose clip an anti-snore mouth guard an anti-snore nasal spray an anti-snore throat spray and i still snored a little bit right but in like within reason yeah everyone snores like a normal guy you made a peep but the c-pap machine was more than just like getting you to stop snoring it was like to get air into you you're well here's that's what was weird was i eventually got the results back from my sleep lab and they said that my oxygen levels were fine so that's what made me think it was kind of weird was It was like the whole worry with sleep apnea is like,

I'm not getting enough oxygen, but they were like, no, you're getting enough oxygen. So then I was like, well, then you fuck off. You quack.

Am I getting enough oxygen? I am pretty dumb. I haven't had a thought in a while. I take a deep breath. The square root of it. I bailed on that. Not because I didn't know the formula. I do. But because I think that's a Simpsons joke.

Ah, what? It's the Pythagorean theorem. I think. Isn't that in the Wizard of Oz? The scarecrow gets a brain and then he says the Pythagorean theorem wrong. I believe. Oh, maybe that's the joke. Because Homer says it and he's like. gets a brain and then he says the Pythagorean theorem wrong, I believe. Oh. Maybe that's the joke because Homer says it and he's like

he's talking about like an obtuse triangle and then somebody next to him is like, it's a isosceles triangle, you idiot. That's funny. I don't know. I don't know what type of jokes they're doing these days over the Simpsons. Those are Harvard guys. They're probably, yeah, they're doing the math correct. Yeah, those are Hartford guys They're probably, yeah, they're doing the math. Correct. Yeah. Those are Hartford guys.

Yeah. I am going to, uh, Jeff, do you want to lead us into what we're second round? Cause you can say people, people know by now. Okay.

Okay. I didn't, I didn't know if I needed to wait for you for the go ahead for your permission. Round two. What do you do? What are you doing? I'm going to try that grapefruit soda.

I got. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think that's going to try that grapefruit soda I got. Yeah. I mean, I think that's going to bring you back towards sweet territory. Yeah, probably. That's okay. Better than you just making a martini because you want one. Yeah. Better than just

living the life I want with really no consequences because what's going to happen if I just make the martini? You can't just live your life with no consequences because what's going to happen if i just make the martini you can't just live your life with no consequences yeah yeah i mean instead of just you know valuing the the time that i have here on earth by living my best life or should i know stick to the script you're gonna fire me from the pod jeff but you two are gonna talk about cocktails the the world doesn't work if everybody just does what they want. Who would pave the roads and take out the trash? People who want to pave the road. Some people like that.

Road pavers. Nobody wants to pave the roads. That's why it's a job. I'd love to pave the road. Pave right over you, dude. You know what? Hey, here's a little bit of trivia for you. The movie Taxi Driver. We all know that movie. Gritty. Yes.

Gritty New York. Hot, sticky New York City. Now, when you say gritty, you don't mean the Philadelphia Flyers mascot. No. If I was talking about a Philadelphia movie that he was in, I'd be like,

it's a gritty-ass movie. This, no. That movie was shot during a garbage strike here in New York. And that's why you see big piles of garbage and like, you know, you can almost smell it on the screen. Damn, of all the unions to go on strike,

imagine that. Waste management. They should do it again. Sanitation. Those don't last long because it's very quick before especially in big cities where people are like, okay, give them what they want. This is disgusting. Nasty. Nasty stuff. stuff tim any tweaks

boy i'm at a loss for what to do for uh round two i really like this drink but i also it's i didn't eat dinner it really smacked me really hard and i and i feel me too yeah and normally that's fun but i feel like last week on the podcast i got kind of too drunk and i was talking too much about pickles remember when you got a pickle jar and it was kind of went on a whole pickle thing i don't want to have make it a habit where i'm drunk on the podcast all the time so i was gonna be like oh maybe i was gonna use my zing zang sour mix and make a whiskey sour but uh i can't think of a tweak this drink is uh perfect i mean it's sweet yeah but i there's nothing i want to dial back i don't know maybe i i guess i'll just do the same thing all over again and just not finish it because i

don't want to be too drunk maybe try a different charity of luxardo's there yeah but i really love these red ones i'm gonna just do it all over again and just get drunk and if if you want to hear me drunk you have to subscribe to the patreon and hear our episode about memos and demos because i will be entering all lit up this is gonna be this is a good this is a this is a good patreon too we're playing playing our voice memos to ourselves about jokes and songs and playing demos of primitive songs. It's going to be a very vulnerable moment for your hosts. Do people like that in podcasts? Do they want human people opening themselves up and being vulnerable, even though they're podcast stars? Do they want to look at their icons and see them, that they're flawed just like them?

No, they prefer like, what is up? I'll stick to the script. No, wait, wait. Well, I'm going to make a little tweak. Maybe it's just because I had a great Mai Tai at Trader Vic's yesterday. I'm going to do the same fucking thing with a little Appleton Estate rum. Whoa! Okay, he's switching

up the spirits. Can you imagine? I cannot. Alright, I think I might have stumbled into a nice little tiki. Folks, we're going to make the second round, and when we come back, final slaps. Slurp, slurp.

Now we're back with round two of Brandy Old Fashioned Sours. Yes, yes. Alright, here's a little taste with the grapefruit instead of the or uh the sour mix oh oh i don't i don't like that i don't like that very much you were you cringe you cringed a little bit there michael yeah i don't like that much at all i wonder if the grapefruit soda is not good anymore. Like, we did that drink a while ago, and I haven't touched that stuff.

Paloma? That was like three years ago. Is it still bubbly? Or is it flat? Yeah, it was bubbly. It really shot up. I think I'll get used to this drink. I think I'll get used to it.

Something tells me after a few sips, it'll be just fine. It'll be just fine. I did the same recipe all over again by the book, but I used a bigger double rocks glass. And it doesn't look too small in here. Still only an ounce and a half of sour mix. I didn't feel like putting more because I didn't need more. But delicious. Nice. ounce and a half of sour mix. I didn't feel like putting more because I didn't need more, but, uh, delicious.

Nice. I'm gonna try my rum version. Normally I use Appleton and it's like, uh, with another rum, you know, cause you're mixing rums. Yeah.

Yeah. A lot of Tiki. I didn't do that this time, but here we go. Ooh, it's good. Ooh, he's got a sly grin. He likes that. This is real good.

I can't blame him for liking his own drink. This guy just went out to Wisconsin Island. Now, Tim, would you normally find Angostura in a tiki? Ooh, I forgot Angostura. BRB. It happens. Don Beach has done it. But yeah, I don't know associated with tiki.

But for sure. Yes, it does. It does happen. I guess as a balancing agent, as a balancing thing, just because it's so sweet. Right. It can't be bad. Can't be a misstep. Maybe there's something else you could do in place of it.

A little, uh, a nutmeg, a little, uh, Don's McCall. I don't know. Yeah.

We figured out what Don's two was. Oh, it wasn't like, it was like cinnamon and grapefruit or something like that. How did we find out? Was that, I didn't say it on booze news. Is that it's something that recently,

that's one that I think came out. back when we made the zombie it was like dawn's mix too and then people said oh dawn's mix too is like grapefruit and cinnamon i that's that's what we used was grapefruit and cinnamon you know the the bitters much better it is make better bitters make it better oh the bitters are better all All right, final thoughts, Michael? That's an OA. Not this version. This isn't great, but the original one we did today, that's an order again. And that's, I mean, you know, like sometimes I'm like, eh, once for the night.

I would order like two in a row of these. Sure. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Well, the sugar bombs do quite well over here on the Sloppy Boys LLC. Oh, yeah. I would order this again and again. We like our candy. Is it a Stone Cold Classic?

Ooh. Ah, geez. It does taste like Fruit Punch. I mean, the old-fashioned was already a Stone Cold Classic, I think. Yes. Right. But this tastes like, you know, Juicy mean, the old fashion was already a Stone Cold Classic, I think. Yes. Right. But this tastes like, you know, Juicy Fruit, the gum.

This kind of tastes like Juicy Fruit. Oh, yeah. I mean it as a compliment. I didn't get that. Oh, that would be good, Jeff, too. You should do like a extraction or an infusion.

Or you know how they do like a fat wash or something? What if you... Gum wash. No, Jeff, here it is. This is the Sloppy Boys cocktail. Get a bottle of white rum, just like the white Bacardi. Put a bunch of pieces of juicy fruit in it. Let it sit for a year.

Then you got juicy fruit rum. Everyone loves juicy fruit in it let it sit for a year then you got juicy fruit rum everyone loves juicy yeah the taste of taste the taste is going to chew you chew yeah the taste is gonna chew me to me i didn't do anything i would love to know the history of how they came up with the tape because juicy fruit you know much like this very very cocktail, it's a Wisconsin fruity thing. Wrigley Gum is Chicago based, right? Because Wrigley owned the Cubs and Wrigley Field and all that. So I would love to hear about the flavorists in the 50s or whatever working on Juicy Fruit Gum and how they came up with that taste. If only we had a gum podcast.

Also my first time working with actual sugar cubes. Every other time they've required a sugar cube on the show, I faked it. What? Just hearing about it now. I would take salt and kind of try and pack it together. No, it doesn't work. Sugar or salt? Salt, salt, rock salt no no but like you know sometimes you see the flaming lime in a tiki drink you need a cube for that you need the constitution of the cube you can't just use a

little bit of sugar like oh it's just sugar no it'll turn into a little swamp you need the cube for structure i will say the second one is hitting me. The first one... You're probably just feeling the first one. The second one just doubled up on the first. Maybe, but slow. The second one's coming behind it. Pushing him along.

Make a tray of them for your family walk out of the kitchen i've been slaving away get drink a lot of them get tanked on them i don't care about there's a lot of sugar a lot of calories but you only live once and here's what i'll say i like both variations of wisconsin brandy old fashions better than the original whiskey old fashion i like a big sugary i don't want i don't want to go into a fancy bar and have one big cube and a

tiny bit of bourbon i want to have a cup full of ice red cherries slurping down the sweet drink getting drunk and barfing on my shoes. Okay. You know, Tim, you're right. It's good for the family.
