Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton with Michael O. Hanford. Oh, yes, I did. And Tim McCalpakis. What is up? St. Patrick's Day stylies. Very nice. Tim McPakis.

And Jeff Houghton. And Jivvy. How you doing? Tim Kirkpatrick. Oh, that's good. Tim Kirkpatrick. I have been, we were just talking a little bit about rehearsing because we're a band, of course. First and foremost, we're a band.

First and foremost, this is a hobby, a side hustle that's not really working and we don't like it it's more of a habit yeah it's more of a hassle than a habit we try and break it every week but we can't manage to do it and we record for an hour well so we are you know we're going to gonna play in chicago and milwaukee second night in chicago already sold out so get those thursday ticket folks tickets folks and i also want to say i have been jamming my bass over here like crazy i go on youtube i put go on youtube and i put like uh you know rock backing track for bass or whatever for bass and i'm about i'm working some little blues scale oh nice i do blues i do psychedelic rock a lot of disco and funk coming over here you do any funk rock yeah huh you do

any funk rock of course of course of course no but we uh we i had a uh a fun time the other day i came across this like very trippy uh uh, like Pink Floyd style backing track. It was so easy to be like, Oh yeah. Cause it's so slow. You can just find whatever note is supposed to work. Um, what do you think is the, is the saddest instrument to play alone because guitars, I feel like, uh, piano's cool. I feel like, uh,

there's something funny. I mean, if you're getting fancy on the bass, but it's, it's bass, but it's not bass. It's not, Mike says it's not.

I mean, he just did it. So, but I feel like if you're just holding the root notes, it would be pretty funny. But I, uh, no,

Tim, I'm trying to five. I'm fine. I'm seeing the chord structure. I'm trying to see, find ways to crawl up to those next ones. Get out, you know, jump up octaves. Mike, are you doing the arpeggios? The minor and the major, because we use those in Santa Ana wins.

One last bender. My whole, uh, base theory is built around the arpeggios. Wow. The Hanford method. Hanford method is finding that major arpeggios. That's what I know. Wow, the Hanford method. Hanford method is find that major arpeggio and run it, maybe. I would also say that maybe every bass player who has ever lived sort of based their method on the arpeggios.

You gotta be. Yeah, and Mike's no different, too. You're right up there with the greats. You've gotta be very comfortable with those arpeggios. It's you and you and victor wooten have that in common i guess um but did you have that jeff you were i guess saxophone's kind of cool but i in school i played uh trumpet yeah it's dorky to bust out that trumpet by yourself any kind of any of those instruments at that age are dorky because it's like the classroom vibe.

Yeah. Or like if you want to be on the drums, because I remember my brother wanted to do drums and it was like, OK, you can do drums, but you start with a snare. Oh, yeah, that sucks. And even saxophone. I was like, I want to play the sax. And they're like, cool. So here's this clarinet and you move to sax next year. And I insisted sax now.

I demand. and you move to sacks next year and i insisted sacks now i demand i do remember after school waiting for like my mom to pick me up from school and i would like wait under the band room which was next to the gym if i had a little time i'd wail on that sacks and it would like if i had like the tile you know like i would be like all kind of alone, not alone. I don't want to make it sound that lonely, but, uh, I did find out that like the,

the athletes could hear me and I was embarrassed. Yeah. But I like the reverb. Jeff Dunn is the king of school. Is the king of school. Someday I'll be the prom king. And then the principal. Why is he singing hey from prom king to principal i like that not bad um one time i went to guitar center that's a sitcom idea on the sunset strip i was in the guitar center and i walked over to one of those electric drum kits and I put

the headphones on and I sit down and you know, I'm a bad drummer, but this, I was just going nuts. Like I was animal or Keith Moon, who animals based on. And I was going nuts thinking I'm really good. This actually sounds kind of cool. I'm doing some fills. Wow. Look at this.

And then I'm playing and then i'm i uh take the headphones off and i like put the sticks down on the stair and it goes and i go the fucking headphones were not plugged in and my and the the sound was turned way up on a speaker and blasting through the whole fucking store everybody saw me being a dork on there. Public for all to hear. That's got to be kind of terrible to work at Guitar Center and just hear people all the time. It sounds torturous.

It's like the Stairway to Heaven thing. I go in there, I pluck around on some of the chords I know. You did some good stuff. I try not to get in too deep. I hate that when a salesman is helping me out with a guitar, watching me, and I'm like, can you turn your back? I would just want to play a power chord real quick. Don't look at me.

Can you play this for me? Like Van Halen would. You're very strict with him. Yeah. You haven't been practicing your Van Halen would. You're very strict with him. Yeah. You haven't been practicing your Van Halen, my boy. Ooh, Jeff's typing away over there. What's he typing? Yeah, what's he clicking?

What's he clacking? I'm looking up pornography. He's tapping that keyboard the way Van Halen would tap that neck of the guitar. I'm looking up tabs. No, you're going, note to self. Get two new co-hosts. Hey! Yeah, Monster.com. Looking for two new co-hosts.

Monster.com. We see the listing on there. What the hell? Wait a minute. Party. Loves, feels. Party rock band seeks bassist and guitarist. That's what would happen these days.

You know the Pina Colada song? How they respond, the couple each responds to the classified ad. If you like pizza a lot. Yes. They each are trying to cheat. They each put, they respond, they go through the classified ads and they went up on a date together

and they laugh about it. These days if that happened, it would be on monster.com. Yes. Yes. Well, maybe one of the dating apps for a job same type of thing more of her jobs if it were more work related right it was work related if they ever did a work related version of that song set in these days it's a husband and wife it's a boss and a potential employee a positive employer an employee as opposed to thing for a... Actually, no, that would be a funny kind of a sketch. What we should do is a boss is trying to replace an employee,

puts a listing, and then the employer shows up. They're like, ah! I love you. The guy he fired shows up? Well, he hasn't fired him yet. He's trying to replace him. Yeah, yeah. So they weren't broken up yet in that.

Okay. Okay. I need to listen to that song again. And I also need to remember that it is not Jimmy Buffett who sings that song. No. It's Rupert Holmes. Rupert Holmes. Rupert Holmes.

Yeah. You want to get into some booze news? Yes. Hit it. I like the beer bottles clanking. Yeah. Hello, I'm Shelley Duvall. Welcome to Booze News, you fairy tale freaks. Gardens of Gomorrah Jig was a little St. Patrick's Day treat sent to us by Harglebarg.

subscribe uh it's a little dangerous no it's it's good in there it's very good that was a good one it took me a second to realize what we were listening to yeah i was also thinking are these real instruments or like midi that's real that's hard-earned instrumentation yeah i like the take on the everybody knows our hit song garden gardens of gamora has a little sample that's made by us and money mark through some very fancy little techniques that you may just hear about in a documentary someday but i liked his take on it was oh yeah that's great yeah that's great shit i didn't put that together so much it took me till the other part to pick it out um i also i

was thinking some at somewhere in gardens of gam, there's a little phrase, the phrase that pays, that sounds like a real song that exists. And I remember Mark pointed it out when we were recording and I was like, I think that's public domain. It's fine. And I just Googled it right now and it's not public domain. Yet another song that might send me to the fucking chair to fry. Why are you talking about it here on this public forum? I'm a melody thief. Tim, don't leave the clues.

People are going to sniff you out. Yeah, that's true. And it's one of those things, once you hear it, you can't unhear it. Like, I ruined another one of the Sloppy Boys songs on here one time. And now it's fucking banished from the discography, basically. Well, you're also one of those criminals who, like, you feel bad about it. So, like, your subconscious is, is like giving you away all the time. Telltale heart.

Wait, it's not that we took it off the album. It's off our discography. It just it just didn't become the hit that it deserved to be, I think. Oh, no. Nothing we do becomes the hit supposed to be. Yeah. It's almost like it doesn't deserve to be a hit. Weird. That's kind of weird. The phrase talentless comes to mind. It's almost like it doesn't deserve to be a hit. Weird.

That's kind of weird. The phrase talentless comes to mind. Go ahead, Tim. What's the booze news? I want to hear news about booze. Did you guys see this No. News story. This was a video that I saw.

Some people sent it to me and i said oh that's a funny video and it pertains and then i noticed wait a second that's just not one video that first video blew up and now it's a tiktok trend and everybody is doing a little something called uh but there's tahine on the rim have you seen this no what a trend it's it's a tiktok trend where i mean that's what you call right everyone everyone's doing the same sketch over and over again yeah um where you sit somebody's sitting with a drink like a margarita or something with tahini on the rim and they're listening to a friend tell a really sad story and but it says like pov you're telling a sad story but there's tahine on the rim so it'll um well i brought i brought the clip jeff hit play on the uh it's always this audio

great and then i found out my mother was killed and then the very next day i found my dog dead and then boom my house burst into flames and like so it's like you just play that clip and then during the course of it you politely like you're listening like oh oh my god and then you steal a little lick of your sneaking little licks and little nips off the tahini just that someone pointing out that it's like a margarita with a with the tahini room is a really hard thing to be having if you're like having sad drinks with somebody um but it blew up and it's huge and i just uh i wanted to bring it here to booze news to sort of just use it as a piece of proof that mike hanford is always right there with the culture right there before the zeitgeist gets there hanford is there i do bump up against it from

time to time don't i then it blows up and he's nowhere to be found. I'm on to the next thing. Good. You like the Tahin Rim? Fine. I drank those last year. Good. You're on to the next thing that no one cares about yet and you won't get credit for. No one cares about and just so happens

to be a TikTok thing. But Mike, you should shoot one with your Tahini and maybe it's a good way to kind of fold it back into the public consciousness. Right, then I'll put the list of the ingredients. You know what, this reminds me very much about the documentary

we discussed on the blowout this week. That's right. Who gets credit for Von Dutch? Right? Yeah. It blew up several times. But not everybody got all the credit they deserve. Who gets the credit and Von Dutch, right? Yeah. You know, it blew up several times. But it is, you know, not everybody got all the credit they deserve, maybe. Who gets the credit and who gets the blame? You know, Von Dutch turned out to have some Nazi leanings.

Mike, when you kind of designed your Tahini, you weren't into any of that stuff, were you? None of that. None of that part at all. I need that away from me. I need that away from me. that away from me. That is not what the Tahini Martini is about or Grimace Piss or

the Russian Root. You should put out a statement like we see on Instagram and there's this text like the Tahini does not stand with Nazism. Talking about referring to a documentary from years ago. Several years

ago. Oh wait, that documentary was old. I thought it was new. Yeah. I know. I wish it was a couple of years old. Yeah, it was a,

it was a couple of years old, but it was pertinent because we're, we're talking indie sleaze so damn much. And if I want to hear more about that, I should subscribe to the Patreon and get to listen to the blowout. It's a really funny show. Yeah. Plus that bonus friendship with Harglebarg we talked about.

Yeah. That ain't bad either. i feel like when we if we we really want people to subscribe to patreon because it really is a good show but if we plug it too hard here this starts to just feel like a pbs telethon all the time good good i would love to be as rich as those pbs hosts what if we though we just did this show like this we never mention uh the patreon but then it bounces out to the three of us going are you enjoying the episode and if you like quality programming like this that's good us too we're enjoying this too i just sit and watch that shit like at my grandparents house in a basement in montreal i just sit there all day watching people be like when for viewers like you you could get this tote bag and i'm like wow wow wow i can't wait till it gets back to cats that was the funny

thing those commercial breaks and those things seemed like 20 minutes long. Yeah. It's like, we're going to get right back to Mozart does Mendel in just a moment. Mozart does the limbo. Mozart gets a little nasty. He's going to get his dress caught on the floor or something. I've never seen Amadeus. Have you? Yes. We've we gotta do a blog

that's a good one it would be good because we're kind of three Solieris you know yeah not a Mozart among us yeah

missing our Mozart that's a a classified ad we should put in the newspaper a picture of the three of us all hopeful we're missing our Mozart yes

musicians you the glue that will bind us. We want to have a four-piece band, but right now it's just a shitty trio. What would a Mozart do with three guys like us? We need a Mozart-level guy. We need a conductor. That would be good. Somebody to keep time for the drummer.

That would be great. You have your own dime, I'd say. A full-time other employee just to keep the drummer on track. He keeps me accountable for you guys, that's it. A full-time other employee just to keep the drummer on track. It keeps me accountable for you guys. That's great. Hey, let's get that Bradley Cooper from MyStruck. He coops? Come on.

He was great. Yeah, you can't get coops. Shit, he's too big. Well, is that it for Booze News? Wrap it up. That's it for Booze News, folks. And then we turn our attention to the drink of the day. What is that?

What was the deal? What is the day. What is that? What was the drink of the day? Where is it? Saved by the bell? Friends. Friends, Ross, Joey, sure. All right. Well, now we're talking about the drink of the day, and I'm going to bring it the day and I'm going to bring

it up and I'm going to talk about it for a few moments and then we'll get on to making it. Oh, this is a Mike drink. This is a my now I didn't invent this, but this is a drink sort of I think figured out on online. But we are today talking about the shamrock shake from a Mickey D. The Shamrock Shake from a Mickey D. Yes, baby. Yes, yes. The same place that sort of birthed the Grimace Piss. In a way.

The Shamrock Shake. It did inspire it in a way. In a way. And we're doing the spiked Shamrock Shake here. We're not just going with the original. Right, right, right. The boozy Shamrock Shake. Now, the recipe we're going to use is you buy a small shamrock shake from McDonald's and you put two ounces of whiskey in there.

Small? I didn't know there were sizes. Mine's maybe big. Oh, we just set that on the... That's fine. Okay. I think small because there's small, medium, large. Small is 12 ounces.

I think it's like 12, 16, 22. Fuck. Well, mine's not 22, but yeah. Well, you'll have a little less boozy taste in yours, Joe. I'll just kick it up. Don't worry about that. You and I handle booze. You get the calculator out.

You do the math. The history of the shamrock, the boozy shamrock shake is not existent online. But here are some just shamrock shake facts. McDonald's made this little sucker in 1970. It was Rogers Merchandising, this company in Chicago created it

for the company. Let's see. It was first made with lemon lime flavor and vanilla ice cream. Lemon lime sherbet and vanilla syrup. I'm reading this on Wikipedia. This next sentence is funny. By 1973, the shake was merely a green colored vanilla shake.

Merely. Since it had gotten so low. Eliminating lemon lime sherbet, it is now mint flavored. Shamrock shakes were sold only in the united states canada and ireland how about that we've mentioned him this guy on the uh the pod before but uncle oh grimacy grimace's uncle yes a relative of grimace who grimace who came to visit in march he came around to market the shamrock shake uh what can I... There's one other thing I thought was funny about... These are interesting.

Do-do-do-do-do. Oh, yeah. The Shamrock Shake wasn't nationwide until 2012. Did you realize that? What? Huh? It was just Chicago? Well, I don't know. It's just on this... It's probably regional. I'm on the McDonald's website. Ten fun

facts you probably didn't know about the Shamrock Shake i mean there's probably there's probably hundreds of facts tell me next to anything about the shamrock shake i don't know it did you have it as a kid or like yeah following years of shamrock shake fandom the iconic shake went nationwide for the first time uh in 2012 yeah jeff i think I, I don't know. I can't remember. I didn't have it as a kid, no. Like I have, I've implanted a memory. I've incepted a memory of it, but probably not.

I think, Tim, I think I have the same thing where I don't believe I had it, but it being so popular, I must be like, oh yeah, we used to have those all the time. I would get McDonald's as a kid, but. Are you guys like shamrock shake is it does it stick out to you you try to get it or i know you guys are more into mcdonald's than me but you're not shamrock shake guys no i've had them and i i like them but it's not one of these things

where it's like oh i gotta make sure i get one it's not like you know some people have the same thing with girl scout cookies oh right the seasonal treat which that is around now right yeah it's right now and that that seems more passionate i am i did have i am into the shamrock shake because i'm not really a mcdonald's guy but march 2020 with the when the covid lockdown first first first happened um you know one of when when it was like really shut down, one of the only joys on earth was like going out for a long drive. And I remember driving through McDonald's, getting a shamrock shake and liking it. It wasn't my first ever, but it was the first time I really thought about it. And I like vanilla shakes and I liked it.

It's so mildly mint flavor. Yeah. But after that, I remember that. So those first few weeks I had one and I was like, well, this is good. And then we'd be going on these like long drives up to like Castaic or down to Lake Elsinore or something. Drive through McDonald's. And then the thrill was like, you know, March is over. But I pull into some places like it's like April 3rd.

I'd be like, you guys have any Shamrock Shakes? They're like, no, sorry. And then I go to another McDonald's. You got any Shamrock Shakes? I'm like, yep. I'm like, hell yeah. You get the last go to another McDonald's, you got to get shamrock shakes. I'm like, yep. I'm like, hell yeah. You get the last one. Tim,

you bring up a very good point. I went out to McDonald's today to get my shamrock shake, start punching it in the machine. They were out of shamrock shake. Oh, I also, now that I'm thinking about that, what are they out of the mixture or the green?

Yeah. The green, the powder it's like dairy mix i think uh so but on the way home i found myself a little uh make your own shamrock shake or boozy shamrock shake recipe that i'm going to use oh and i kind of had to think of what i had and is it creme de menthe yep i'm going to use uh vanilla Is it creme de menthe? Yep. I'm going to use vanilla ice cream, creme de menthe, vanilla extract a little bit.

Wow. It said vanilla rum, but I think I'm going to stick with the whiskey because that's what we're doing today. Hey, we got vanilla vodka, Mike. I know. Sorry, vanilla vodka, not vanilla rum. Vanilla vodka, which is perfect.

But I do want to do the... Irish whiskey. The Irish one. Yeah. Now, when we post selfies online and everyone sees that me and Jeff have shamrock shakes and you have some weird homemade concoction, do you think you're going to get any flack on the net? At this point? I don't care. I, I don't, that does not, I've, I've, I've, I've, you don't go on the net anymore. Tim, I've hit the mute button on that channel. Thank you. I've hit the mute button on that channel. Thank you. I've hit the mute button on that.

Thank you very much. So they can talk all they want. I've hit the mute button on that channel. Thanks. Guys, we did a Twitch live stream happy hour during the pandemic. That was my first Shamrock Shake. I remember that and

we did this we we yeah it was two years ago it's still there it's archived if you want to go watch it and we did this and yeah i mean we we did it with jameson i guess if you have any irish whiskey or you would do whatever was she whiskey but ideally it would be irish whiskey and we're just kind of pulling the numbers out of our ass but you know two ounces is the amount of alcohol you tend to use. And I think anything bigger than a small shake would be a little too much ice cream for moi. I think I'm going to do a half one now and then make for my round two do the smart, Mike. That's really good. Yeah.

And we should say, Jeff, for our official recipe for this, when we post online, we say, like, And we should say, Jeff, for our official recipe for this, when we post online, we say, like, first take a sip of your shamrock shake to make room for the two ounces of Irish whiskey that's coming in. I keep forgetting, too, that it comes with whipped cream. I don't love that. Yeah. And because mine's been hanging out in the fridge for two hours, I'm sure it's all soupy and weird. Fridge? Oh.

I've been bouncing mine back and forth from the freezer to the fridge. Really? Right, because the freezer will just get it, like, a block. Oh, I've been bouncing mine back and forth from the freezer to the fridge. Really? Because the freezer will just get it like a block. And then, oh, shit. That's that was the other challenge. I had to do this like I went to McDonald's kind of like right before we jumped on a record. And then when they didn't have, I was like, fuck, is it does it make any sense to shake it? Does that do anything for you? It's a shame if I'm trying to revive it. I'm saying if it is, I would give that a nice. Oh? It's a shame. If I'm trying to revive it, I'm saying. If it is soupy. I would give that a nice...

Oh, oh, oh, it's soupy. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe it's not soupy. I did put it in the freezer for the last, like, 20 minutes. Throw some ice in a blender and blend it. Ugh, it'll be watery. Nice day.

Maybe some slush puppy shit. Mike, yours is going to be gorgeous. I am. I'm very excited because I always forget that milkshakes, I love them, and I can make them in my own home. I forget about them. They bring all the boys to the yard, don't they? The way I do it?

No. Not as much as Khalees? Nah. The way I do it? Nah. Khalees had all the boys. Yeah, she had it down. All right.

You want to go make these up? Yes, please. Folks, here come the ads. We'll be right back. Shamrock shakes in hand. We're back. Shamrock shakes in hand. Look at him. Not soupy at all. I'm proud. And it's a small like I thought, so I'm right on board with you guys. Great. Nice. Mikey, how'd it go?

Pretty good. I can already tell it's pretty like more. I put milk in there too, which maybe I put too much milk. I mean, that's what the recipes I saw called for. So we'll see. I got a feeling this is going to be a little different. The whiskey watered mine down in a way that looks good. Mine was pretty thick.

Shall we? Sips. Ooh, yeah. Mm-hmm. Ooh, that's good. Also, that's good. Also, that's good. Mintier than I thought. Like when I took my initial sip down, I was like, hey, they're not skimping on the mint. This is a mint shake.

The Jameson and the vanilla of this mix together to make a Bailey's flavor. It's like a mint Bailey's. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's when I was looking for recipes for these. That was Bailey's creme de menthe peppermint schnapps. Like these were kind of interchangeable. So you can make them however you like, but just put the booze and the milk in there.

What are we calling this? Is it a boozy shamrock shake? Is it a spiked shamrock shake? Is it a shamrock shake with whiskey? Spiked shamrock shakes got that nice alliteration. Yeah. Is it still satisfying as alliteration, though, Jeff? This is more just a question for those.

Yeah, it's an S, but with those H's mixing things up. Spiked shamrock shake. Like if it was spiked samrock, that would, like that alliteration. Or spiked spamrock. Right. Yeah. Hmm. I got to say, this taste is one of those things where like,

the whiskey made it actually, to me, made it taste better. Like I took a sip and I was like, this is a delicious shake. I love shamrock shakes. And then now with the whiskey, I'm like. Well, it's more refined, Tim. It's more balanced. Yeah. But even if it didn't have that delicious, I mean, I like booze because it gets me drunk.

But I think this would even just be a taste for a good taste for someone who wasn't even intending to get drunk. I guess that's a possible side effect from drinking. Yeah. Like I would recommend this to non-drinkers. Let say you're sober you've been in recovery 22 years i would not get involved in this folks you're gonna ruin it for nothing for nothing this you know what this reminds me of it doesn't have the taste of it but it has the same like uh feeling of drinking a spiked uh eggnog where it's like oh there's the there's the whiskey taste in the back of the throat oh yeah you're right there's like a scratchiness yeah the back of the throat scratch

um i feel like my memory of mcdonald's shakes is that they're like they're like too hard to drink with a straw when you first get them. Yes. But Jeff McDonald's has a slightly wider gauge straw than the rest of the beverage world. Good. Cause I'm struggling with my straw and it's not a McDonald's brand. It's not their proprietary straw.

Mine is. And I can tell it's just one extra millimeter. Heavy gauge. You've fallen in it. But also, I wonder if the shamrock shake is soupier somehow. Maybe all that mint makes it soupy. Hmm. Now.

Well, you know what else I did with this? I got cookies and cream ice cream instead of vanilla. Hey, wait a second. What? What? No, it's okay if I did that. There's supposed to be an Oreo Shamrock Shake McFlurry currently available. What?

And I asked, and the guy said they didn't have them at that location. But, Mike, you're once again on trend. I know. Accidentally, but yeah, count it. Wait, let me check this. Shamrock McFlurry. Well, the whole joke with them is that their ice cream machine is down, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Yeah, what is that? Just those machines don't work very well? I think the joke is that employees don't like, they're like a pain in the ass to make, so they say it's down. Oh, that's interesting. Guys, this is brand new, hot 2024 news that McDonald's released along with the shamrock shake the oreo oreo shamrock mcflurry and that's just like soft serve ice cream right mcflurry versus the stuff the stuff is swirled in like a blizzard evenly throughout but that's that's very uh very thin mint right yeah you guys ever do blizzards dq dairy queen yeah baby dennis running around that cup yeah we're chasing them all around

jeff what was the foster's freeze version that we used to get during the pandemic i'll stop talking about the pandemic so much but it did it was unprecedented that was yeah we got a bunch of uh foster's free stuff and we ate it in Stoney Sharp's backyard on his picnic table one time. It was like a ton, a ton of food. It was called a concrete, right? Twister. Yeah, Twister. Oh, okay.

A concrete I've heard of too, though. And it might be a New England thing. No, Shake Shack has concrete. Yeah, yeah, right. And I think they are just like harder. Is that the deal? Because it's like sucking on concrete. Yeah, yeah, right. And I think they are just like harder. Is that the deal? Because it's like sucking on concrete. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. But that was very funny. I remember getting so much food from Foster's Free, like eating a chili dog and a double cheeseburger and all this shit, and then getting drunk and just walking around Eagle Rock aimlessly. It was really fun. Damn, this is so good. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Milkshake, man. Ice cream. mostly um damn this is so good yeah milkshake man ice cream that's all it's very good what did you guys do for saint patrick's day last year because i think we've on pod shared old stories

of saint patrick's day but then what did we end up doing tam o'shanter right oh yeah me and jeff went to the tam o'shanter they They had a big outdoor tent, music playing. You had a guy see you in an unfortunate state, didn't you? Yes, what was going on with me? I was choking. Maybe like puking. Choking. Or just like he saw you peeing on a tree or something.

I ran out of the tent to go choke. Did I eat something that was too hot? Why were you choking no this is what i did they had like uh corned beef and cabbage sandwiches and um and they also had roast beef sandwiches but i had a corned beef and cabbage sandwich but they i took a cup of uh for the roast beef sandwiches they had cups of horseradish and i ate my sandwich and i finished it but because i'm a weird guy i was like hey i'm gonna take this horseradish as a shot waste not want not yeah and i but i thought it was gonna be like a um you know like be uh a health like a face

melter yeah a horseradish sauce rather than just like your side is a straight root so i was kind of yeah showing off for uh jeff and mitch and mookie and i said check this out it worked and we were impressed like we were impressed especially it being like one of those one ounce plastic reseal things like not like a stunt you guys were like it's always been our dream for a friend of ours to drink but i drank it it was overwhelming my eyes were watering and i was having a hard time and i was like oh i need some air so in the heat of the panic i stepped out of the tent to to run around the corner into a dark alley and when i got there a guy who was out there smoking a cigarette turned to me and was like,

Hey man, love the sloppy boys. And I was like, do they play any, uh, jig music? They play gardens of Gomorrah jig. No.

Hey, maybe that should be the song we play at the end of this episode. Oh, very good. That's a good idea. Wait. No. Why not? Armageddon. Ah.

That's right. Armageddon. Oh, yes. It's a little more Irish. That's the St. Patrick's Day pub song, baby. That's a pub. Cry your eyes out and sing. That's true.

We have several friends who said they listened that song and cried yeah i don't i don't like that why it's not made to be to bring tears it's made to bring smiles mike it's supposed to be fun not sad i think it makes people smile but a few people i think you really got you got your point across i think they're just emotional i don't think they're sad i think they're feeling emotion yeah well they're feeling emotion. Yeah. But they're so jammed up they don't know what it is, you know? You're moving people with your art, Jeff. That's good with music. But it's got to be just

so... That's good when music does that, yeah. Damn. Would you change anything for a second round of one of these? I'm going to do the same thing I did but no creme de menthe and just vanilla vodka.

Ugh. I got to say, all of my whiskey sank to the bottom. I said a big whiskey gulp. That's why you have to stir it like a concharge. Aggressively from the bottom up? From the bottom to the top.

I'm just going to... i think this was perfectly balanced taste wise but if you're trying to get drunk i think that 12 ounces of milkshake and two ounces of uh milk of of booze is not going to really do the trick so i guess i would make mine stronger maybe i'll put more whiskey but it's already warm i don't know man jeff you wouldn't want to drink a whole milkshake just to get one booze's worth of alcohol like way down i'm like way down yeah i gotta figure out a new uh another drink around too oh this is what i was thinking maybe i'll maybe i'll put a little uh maple syrup in this one too you're putting maple syrup in it. Your scotch, everything.

That's what got me thinking about it because I'm thinking of the different booze I like. Tim, that's what I thought, too. Now, I feel like we were just last week, we're drinking a drink that was like, you know, rum and honey. And you were like, you know, this reminds me as I should have whiskey and maple. And it's like so similar. He's got maple on the brain, Tim. Yeah, that's why I'm maple-ized. Yeah.

Somebody's got me maple-ized. Who do we know that has a maple-izer that may be the culprit? Hey, maybe he's born with it. Maybe he's maple-ized. Maybe he's maple-ized. Maybe he's maple-ized. All right, folks. We're going to make another round two. We'll be back here after this. Maybe he's made for last Maybe he's made for last Alright folks We're gonna make another round two

We'll be back here After this Now we're back Round two in the house I just did a Whiskey ginger Now we're back. Round two in the house. I just did a whiskey ginger. Oh, you pulled a Hanford in you. Ah, you went a different direction.

I'm out of milkshake. I'm going to finish this off. I'm going to pivot to that because that's just a drink you can sit with. You don't have to make a big deal out of it like you guys do. Now, did you use the same? Like, you're classier. You're kind of just a little bit more laid back about it. Did you use the same type of whiskey that you used in your shake? Yeah.

I'm on the Jameson train, baby. I like that. This is a trick I'll do sometimes at like a restaurant. If I get a, you know, I get a Bloody Mary and it's like a big, huge tomato thing or, and I'll say, Hey, can i get a shot of vodka well vodka doesn't really matter but lots of times if my drink's too weak as i'm getting down i'll say can i get a shot of whatever the the liquor is that's in here to kind of goose it up as you go hey i have it that's a good technique that's that's like an official tim technique i've

seen you do it and you've talked about it on pod. And they kind of like it. I'll say, hey, can I have a shot of rum, whatever branded it was in this drink? And they're like, yeah. Get a little of this guy. This guy's kind of cool, man. He's cool, man. Hey, your brunch is on us, man. The cooks are all high. That's what I hear about.

Hey, have you ever heard this? Do you guys know what the opposite of a well drink is at a bar? Top shelf? Or another name for... He's got you. It's true. I never heard a call, either well drink or a call drink, because you have to call it by name.

I was at a bar and I was like, oh, can I get a shot of whiskey? She's like, do you want well or call? And I was like, what's the well? And she said, I was like oh can i get a call me by your name a shot of uh whiskey she's like do you want well or call and i was like uh what's the well and she said i was like what's the call what does call mean that's a waste of a question well or call you just said what say say what type of whiskey and you would either say well or your brand but well or call is like well she well she was saying like well well and call was the same price or something. I was like, oh, I didn't know that. That sounds like industry speak. She must have seen you and been like, this guy knows what call means.

Yeah. Yeah. I was like, I'll have a whiskey on the rocks. Oh, this guy's been around. Whiskey on the rocks. That's a good tidbit, Mike. I never heard it. And I like adding that to my brain. Me too.

This is. I mean, this is i mean this they should sell this in restaurants maple vanilla i mean you can't go wrong you're just adding your favorite flavors to ice cream and drinking with booze to it booze add to it but it was cookies and cream ice cream cookies cream ice cream vanilla absolute and uh you got a little kitchen sinky over there, Mike. Yeah, baby. It's a little too much. You doing a little Breyers or a little Dryers?

No, Haagen-Dazs, which I don't really like. Doesn't Haagen-Dazs feel kind of like airy or light? Like you just scoop it right out. It's like foam. It's like ice cream foam. Yeah. Yes, it's a foam. It's a thick foam.

Do you guys have an ice cream brand that's your hometown pride? Like in Ithaca, they had Purity. Yeah, Keller House. Keller House? Yeah, that's my parents' old thing, but they got out the game, folks. Sure, but I would have thought that at Keller House, you would have been serving Breyers or something. It was actually Keller.

You were making the ice cream? Yes, it was made by Duddy. Wow, my Duddy buddy. in the ice cream yes it was made by duddy wow my daddy senior um no my my home one growing up was demoulas market basket like store-bought demoulas demoulas demoulas yeah it's like that's a um irish not irish greek right yeah demoulas sounds greek demoulas market basket they just like the brick of chocolate soft serve. Not soft serve. Yeah, yeah.

Chocolate. Just brick of chocolate. Brick of chalk. Some places, I think, is it Blue Bell or some really proud regional ones. But in upstate New York, and my family is really into this, there's a lot of upstate pride for Stewart's. Oh, yeah. I would go for Stewart's. Oh yeah. I would go to Stewart's on vacation.

Did they have, they don't have it out in Rochester though, right? No. But Stewart's it's, it's a gas station, but all of their drinks and ice creams and stuff are their own brand. And the,

there's like 50 flavors of ice cream. They do sodas too, right? That's different. The orange soda and the root beer. That's like a different stewart's which is maddening oh i always thought it'd be like stewart little and patrick stewart exactly yeah one's a mouse and one's uh taller um but in stewart's news there's a lot of stewart's

passion in my family and my parents just told me that they came out with a drink that is like a shamrock shake but it's not frozen it's like a a milky drink that's in the or the refrigerator refrigerator section but it's green and it's like a knockoff of a shamrock shake oh this i'm already this is a little drunk here yeah yeah me too um mine is good i i i added ice to mine because it was too melty uh which is kind of nice to get this sound oh yeah that is a clunker and then i added two more ounces of whiskey and that drowned out all the taste and i just taste like creamy whiskey yeah i mean this we had a good balance earlier i thought two ounces of whiskey to that 12 ounce whatever 10 12 if you're like me and you're impatient because you want to get drunk without having to have like 600 calories

of ice cream maybe you're you're trying to take in shots of your whiskey and using the the shim shake as a as a as a back oh ice cream chaser yeah well Well, final thoughts? We kind of just gave the rundown. We like it. Yeah, we like it. It's order again. Order again. It's an annual tradition. I love it.

Now, what's stopping us from doing this year round? Nothing. It's not available. No, but I mean, you could get a vanilla and put a little drop of mint extract. Yeah, I think that I would say the creme. We all have bottles of big green creme de menthe on our shelves. We should be pouring that in vanilla shakes all year round. You got to use it up, folks.

If you're following along and buying all the bottles, you got a nice big bottle of creme de menthe. What about, we got this banana liqueur too, that. Yeah, why do we have that? I pulled that out the other day. What was that in? I don't know. Fuck. But you put that in? I don't know. Fuck. But you put that in some ice cream?

Yeah, that would be really good in a vanilla shake. What was that in? The Donkey Kong Arita? No. Well, anyway. The great episode guys, I wanted to ask, um, at one point when you guys, um, mentioned that this, um, this milkshake is green. Yes.

Yes. Yeah. Where's this going, Tim? You seem, uh, and you know, you guys mentioned St. Patrick's day, which is like a lot of people will wear green and drink green beer. Yeah. Okay. So you, you, you're familiar with that color. Sure. Green. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So you're familiar with that color.

Sure. Green. Yeah. Okay. So, you know, the color green, but have you heard of the green quiz? I knew that. I knew that was coming. I knew that was coming.

Oh, Timmy, you scared the daylights out of me. No, I knew it. I was prepared for it. I got to work on my poker face a little bit better. Poke, poke, poke, poker face, poke, poke, poker face. Lady Gaga. Okay. But on a serious note, guys, here we go.

This is a quiz hosted by me with you two as the contestants. And it's sort of a javalanche of questions. Lots of them are going to be coming right at you. And you guys are going to be ducking, bobbing, weaving, answering. Do we know how many questions in this javalanche? A lot. There's a lot. Too many.

But then the winner gets to be the Prince of St. Patrick's Day. Oh. Okay. I want that. Here we go. That would be nice. With the green quiz. Question number one.

On St. Patrick's Day, this city dyes their river green. Chicago. Michael gets it. Oh, that was. Jeff, you were right there, but Mike made it all the way from Brooklyn to my ears before you. So he probably said it minutes ago. And I'm right down the street. Plus, I mentioned Chicago earlier, so that should have counted.

Chi-town? Chi-town? Now, I'm going to mention it right now to say that we're playing two shows there in April at Beat Kitchen. The 25th and 26th, we're going to be at Beat Kitchen Chicago. And the 27th, we're going to be at the Cactus Club in Milwaukee. Come see us rock and roll. Tim, I'm going to do you one better. Two weeks prior on the 13th and 14th, I'm going to be at Lincoln Lodge doing stand-up comedy.

You're too many Chicago trips, Mike. I know. They never seem to line up how you want, huh? You just kind of fly back and forth to Chicago? I just really didn't put together that we were playing right after that. So don't leave me hanging, folks. Give me tickets, too. Well, go buy those tickets and then pause this this and then uh buy the tickets and come back

and that's time for the green quiz more questions for the green quiz okay i'm up one nothing this candy's green mascot traded in her high heel boots fuck fuck oh i knew it you gotta think jeff green is my favorite color so he's doing research all year i gotta think, Jeff. Green is my favorite color. So he's doing research all year. I gotta think that. I take note of. I'm in the middle of the quiz and I gotta think that your favorite color is green now? Yeah. I bet you my background on my computer is just green. You gotta think that, Jeff. You gotta think that.

I don't think he thought that. That's your problem. Honestly, what were you thinking? That's the issue here. What did you think? Mike, I know you're not lying because you did have a lovely Green Gatorade sweater I remember That's a good V-neck Wore that to Tim's party when I saw Lizzy

Kaplan get her toe in the toe And you brought a big beer with a bow on it That's right Well anyway back to the quiz Yes question three Whoops this alt rock band Jumped the shark Well anyway, back to the quiz Yes, question three Whoops This alt-rock band jumped the shark With a certain St. Patrick's Colored Rock album

Hey! See if you can guess who it is. Speaking of, Green Book. Who would you pair John Cena with if you're making a dipshit comedy? You know, Kevin Hart? Zac Efron. Okay, back to the quiz. Ugh. It's the same guy they paired The Rock with for

For a point, Jeff, for an extra point. Do I get a point for that? Yeah, you get a point. I think so. I don't know. Mike, you don't want to do that so much, but yeah, that does count. You don't want to do that. Mike, did you know that's where I was going with the question? Green Hornet?

Mm-hmm. Mm. Okay. This actor was originally slated to play Ace Ventura. Yes, this is true. But later, he played the Green Goblin. Willem Dafoe. Willem Dafoe.

Jefferson gets it. Willem Dafoe. Isn't that weird? There was like a more dour, dark version of Ace Ventura before Jim Carrey did a punch-up pass. Weird. Yeah. Okay. This

froggy guy became an alt-right icon. Pepe. Mike gets it. Pepe the frog. You know, I called Weezer an alt-rock band, so then when I saw alt-right here, I said alt-rock. It's kind of the type of thing that happens on the green quiz.

What's the scoreboard looking like these days? Mike has one, two, three, four, five, and you have four. Very close. To be fair, I gave one of those points to Jeff. Gave. Please, I earned it. You're complaining about it now. You brought it up.

Okay, next question. Wrinkly and green he is. Yoda. Jefferson. God, no. Hell. Thisly and green he is. Yoda. Jefferson. Go to hell. This is good. We're tied up. Rocky.

Don't worry about it. They probably love it more than the common man. That's true. They're better at it than the common man. This glowing substance is quite off- Kryptonite. Yes. To a certain Daily Planet journalist. Jefferson is on the board. Well written. Thank you.

I'm actually an Emmy-nominated writer. Up next, yuck. Ipecac causes this liquid to be projected from the stomach. Vomit. Yes, Mike. You got it. I would have accepted puke or vomit or barf, and Mike said it first. All right.

Mike, why are you this fast in Fortnite? Sometimes you're like kind of holding up the squad. Oh, you have to tear him down. He's having a good moment. He's joking, I hope, because I won twice today. What were you doing playing during the day on a pod? I take a little break and play. All right.

From time to time. He's quick like lightning here on the pod. Here we go. When shinging a ribeye, you may find these upon your toothpick. Well, olives. Pimento olives. Michael gets it. Quite precise.

When what-ing your ribeye? Shinging. Shing. Ah. If you listen to Sloppy Boys podcast, you'll get it, Jeff. Okay. Yuck. Tim, unfortunately, paired this green cocktail with his lamb kidneys.

Grasshoppers. Yes. At Musso and Frank. Yucks. All right. Next up. Hmm. yes at musso and frank yucks all right next up it would be challenging for me to witness a poster of this froggy guy on gonzo on an adult's wall kermit oh yeah because i said froggy guy uh you did but i i was like i didn't remember where that meme came from. Listeners were memeing you. Remember Tim had that story of if he saw his kid, or no, his friend in college had Muppets on his wall.

He was like, if he was a dad, he would say that. That would be challenging for me to witness. When I see an adult who has Muppet pictures on their wall, it's challenging for me to witness. All right. What was the make and model of tim's old green car honda civic yes extra point eight an extra point if you can wait how much is when you say extra point you mean one or is it maybe multiple uh it's three extra points if you can if you remember the nickname of my car uh oh great yeah that was

Currently, when you go over to Tim's place, you'll find that this uncouth seat is green. Toilet. Yes, Jeff. Well, what happens there is a little bit uncouth. Yeah, that's true. No, I don't think it's uncouth.

I think we need to get away from this idea that passing waste is so gross so wrong i don't know man i i get some waste in me i keep it in there i'm classy all right i have a doctor remove it he cuts down the colon and removes the turd. Does he put you out for that? Are you awake for that? At this point, I don't need it. It's twice a day. Twice a day.

Twice a day. He doesn't bother even stitching it up. Okay, here we go. This former member of the UCB Herald team Arts and Athletics now owns a green suit. Mike Hanford, how long is this?

Okay, we're in the homestretch. Oh, God. Mike Hanford once sang a song about this Dr. Seuss character. The Grinch. Jefferson. He is quite green, isn't he? Jeff is a freak for this citrus fruit.

Lime. Unfortunately, that's Mike. This is a connection thing because I'm firing away on all these shits. Final question. Jeff's home state and Mike's home state once fought over the land that now makes up this Green Mountain state.

Jefferson is on the board, but it was not enough to catch up to Michael Hanford, the winner of the Green Quiz and the St. Patrick's Day Prince of 2024. Nice. You know what I like for my winning prize here is to have Jeff sing the first verse

of Danny Boy. That's your one wish? I forgot to mention that. Oh, Danny Boy. The cups, the cups are calling. That was his one wish. Everybody knows that's what the prince gets. Who am I to deny the prince's wish? That's our show.
