If you buy the ticket, it's 10 bucks. And then you don't have to watch it live. You could watch it for, is it a week or longer? I think let's call it a week. Yeah, at least a week. And then here's the other thing.

If you're one of those intrepid slopheads that stumbled upon the link and just plopped down the 10 bucks, not even knowing that you- Thank you, first of all. Thank you. Yeah, thank you, first of all. Not even knowing that you were available for the date.

Your ticket still applies, dude. Right, right, right. That ticket's still good. Will they hear the, or see and hear the Q&A afterwards, too? Yes, it's all part of the stream. It's all happening on the watch party. I, this is great. And we said, we're not going to be talking during.

We're not chatting during. No, because it's a pre-premier viewing. Viewing. It's not chat. And you at home, when you're watching, don't chat with your friends. Silence. Silence, audience. Let's say you are among the lucky people who live in Philadelphia or New

York. You're also going to get screenings where we come and screen the film live.

Folks, get those tickets. We're going to get off the tour talk and stuff in just a second, but I want to say the guy who runs Bottle Rock in Pittsburgh, great little venue. I can't wait to play there. He said he got the, he asked us if we wanted to play because somebody in the supermarket called to him like down the aisle and was like, hey, you should book

the Sloppy Boys. Whoa! The town wants it. Damn, that's a big one. I think we're doing two sets there too. There's no opener there either. We're going right into it. Right into it. A full night of just the slops. I like playing these big fat sets. We're learning more of our own songs, which is a funny thing to have to do. We're doing it. A full night of just the slaps. I like playing these big fat sets. We're learning more of our own

songs, which is a funny thing to have to do. We're doing it. We put it off for too long. Well, it's rather sophisticated music. Some of it is more than three instruments on it so you need more people. And for folks that are like, I have seen the Sloppy Boys.

I know the 20-ish songs they play. Oh yeah? We might have three more new ones for you. We might have two new ones. No, don't say that, Jim. They're all new songs. We're playing every album in a row. That would be cool, guys, at some point. Oh, like when we hit the

10-year anniversary of Lifelong Vacation, we do a tour where we're just playing that album beginning to end. The masterpiece. That would be very fun. Next year, then do Dance on the Wind. Next year, Paradiso. Yeah, it's funny because it would be three years in a row. Playing Lifelong would be a really funny 28-minute show,

and then we just get out of there. Beep, beep. we just play it again we should play yeah we should play it in order and then play it back we don't even have to get out of the van we just roll by all right do we get into a little booze news booze news hit it when the episode is a few minutes in and they've run out of chit chat. The drink of the day is on the way, but it's not time for that. Don't go anywhere because there's a segment just for you. Where Tim will dip your ignorance away.

Here comes booze. When you hear all about the news you were without. But one time I mean I'm an e. On the show that has timeless integrity.

Wow. Flamin' Booze was sent to us by Chris Finkie.inkie stinky finkie finkie's done some good work oh my god he's one of the big boys out there and if you have a booze news team email it to the sloppy voice podcast at gmail.com and if you want to be friends with stinky finkie subscribe to patreon.com slash the sloppy voice. And you can hear our other podcasts and connect with Slophead. It's just a nickname. He's not stinky. God, I hope that one day somebody says, refers to me that way.

He's one of the big boys. Stinky Jeff is one of the big boys. Did you guys recognize that melody? Flaming Bones, right? Flaming Moves, right? Flaming Moves. Yeah. Flaming Moves. Well, we had put the word out that we wanted a Cheers style.

No, we wanted a Cheers style photo or opening with our faces in it or something. Either way, we got a still. Yeah, we didn't ask for a still though, did we? The ghost of Craig T. Robinson doing great work, but I want a video. Craig T. Nelson. What did I say? Craig T. Robinson. T.

That would be so funny if Craig Robinson was making Photoshop for us. Weird. He's a TV star. He does tourist comedy, but damn, he just does a little Photoshop for us. He puts aside a little tie to do a TV star. He does towards his comedy, but damn, he just does a little Photoshop for us.

He puts aside a little time to do a little Photoshop. I always keep time for a little Photoshop. We had a cheers parody a couple of weeks ago from Lamont to Bob in our Daiquiri episode. Now we had a flaming Moe's parody. Very good. This is very, very good.

This is good. This is good stuff. And we probably won't get busted for copyright on YouTube. That's good. This is very, very good. This is good. This is good stuff. And we probably won't get busted for copyright on YouTube. That's good. Love that. It's good for the show. Very. Keeps the show moving. And speaking of keeping the show moving, what's the actual booze news? Okay, here's some booze news.

We are, it's spring. Am I wrong? It's spring. Spring is spring. Wait, you know what they should do? We should call spring spring and summer sprung. I think that would be funny. Sprung, yeah. That would be funny. And winter, call it

fell. No. No, we're not with you on that one that would be funny too far anyway i'm tracking some drink trends and some new drinks and uh we'll see what takes hold in the spring and then blooms in the summer but um there here's a new drink that uh was viral uh that i wanted to see if you guys heard about it. Nice.

The Bromosa. You've heard? No. No. But it can, I guess it's a mimosa with like a bro-y vibe to it. Yes. Nice. Ooh.

Hanford, you still got it. Mike, you're really good with etymology of terms. That's right. Content and context clues. Okay. So we're on aology of terms. That's right. And context clues. Okay. So we're on a booze podcast. It's booze news. Tim's not going to be talking about something not booze related.

Then, Jeff, then I start to think, okay, I've heard half of this word before. Right. A drink. Yeah. Then I start thinking about the word. Then I retired to my study. Bro. I put my about the world. Then I retired to my study. Bro! I put my smoking jacket on.

Bro! You look so... I believe everything you say with all those books behind you. I know. I'm in my brother's office. I'm in my brother's house. I'm in his office. He's got books everywhere.

He's an English teacher. I'm prone to believe you. Also, you can probably tell if people are watching the video, I keep coming out of it. My microphone is duct taped to a hockey stick. Okay. So I can't move it. I can't see there. I don't even know. But yeah, I didn't want to bring my thing, my whole thing up other than the. Go ahead. The books on the shelf, are they, is that like literature or are those Don Cherry Rock'em Sock'em hockey books as well?

That's interesting too. We got, we do. First one I said, or picked up, Hockey Tough. Nice. A winning mental game. Four by Mark Messier Not bad But then we've also got

You know Let's see here You got any old Farsides in there? No Confederacy of Dunces I'm seeing Blue Highways A Journey into America

Okay I actually read Confederacy of Dunces By the way The Brothers K Gentleman in Moscow These are big Books

All right. Can we hear about the Bromoza, please? Oh, yes. The Bromoza. Well, you didn't like what I was looking at. Putting away from the microphone talking. Parsing through books. See, I guess we're bad, but don't worry about that.

The Bromoza. I brought a clip. Here is a TikTok fromok from tiktoker morgan middendorf and she's out on a golf course and here's what she has to say okay i've got a golf course drink of the day it is called a bromoza she'd a cup and any light beer will work so we're gonna fill about it. It's a Coors Light. Here with Coors Light. Just a little bit of OJ.

Now, this is the perfect drink to start your round of golf. And then a shot of vodka. Shot of vodka. Tito's she uses. Tito's she uses. Is that it? That's it. I was waiting forito's she uses. Tito's she uses. Is that it? That's it. I was waiting for it's booze. That's it. We're talking a beer with a splash of OJ and a shot of vodka. I do like the idea

of this shot of vodka because when you always, if you have just a brass monkey or a mimosa, alcohol that's diluted, then you're getting diluted. But if you put that vodka in there, then you're goosing it back up for us. A quick goose. Could be good. Could be very good. I would try it. I would try it. Hey, you know what? They're just trying to make it happen with that catchy name though. I don't like that barstool sports shit. Romosa? Yeah. I don't like that barstool sports shit. Bromosa? Yeah. I'm with you.

So, Will, I'll be out for the next episode. I'll be with you guys, right? I only want to be with you. We'll be in the same room. I have a little bit of an idea for a drink. Okay. Do we go golfing with Bromosas? That's a good idea. That's even better than my idea.

No, but I have an idea for a drink that I want to... My idea sucks. I want to show you guys. I want to bring the ingredients and reveal what it is. A big reveal. But it's going to depend on if I can get the ingredients. A big reveal live on the pod? One might be difficult to get.

And guess what? It's only two ingredients. Do it. Okay, do it okay do it okay mike wow us fuck put up or shut up i can do it you guys hear a dog we got a dog back here oh yeah what can you hear his name yeah i believe you believe i can her name Gracie. She's a beautiful dog. Just beautiful. Only, I mean, born in October, I think. Young dog. You're talking to the two wrong guys, Mike. Oh, not me. I'm talking to the right guy for me.

We don't give a fuck. But I just came up with a good dog name. I was joking. I said, what's her name? Barker. But then I was like, Barker is a name. That's a good name for a dog. Barker.

Yeah, yeah. I had a family friend. No, they did have Barker was the name of the dog a good name for a dog, Barker. Yeah, yeah. I had a family friend. No, they did have Barker was the name of the dog. I thought it was Barkley. Or a pop punk drummer. That would be a good name for them. Good name. When you're naming your drummer, keep that in mind.

How do we name you, Jeff? You came out of that gooey egg and we said, we got to give this guy a name. Where's drummer name books? Gooey egg? Like, ugh. In the hatchery? egg and we said we gotta give this guy a name. One of those drummer name books. Drummer egg. Like, ugh. Where did we get that egg? Why did it come to us? Yeah, it was some sort of a mystical

traveler was like, could you hold on to my egg until it's ready? Yeah. He never came back for me, huh? Nope. Damn. Still waiting for that traveler. And I'm glad he didn't.

Yeah. I hope that traveler's dead long. Still waiting for that traveler. And I'm glad he didn't. Yeah. I hope that traveler's dead long ago. I hope that traveler's dead. All right, is that it for Booze News? Wrap it up. You guys will notice, too, I'm sitting in a desk chair, so I'll be doing this a lot. My hands are sort of right here. Index fingers pursing your lips a little bit.

It's just I don't usually have. You can't do that on the coffee table, can you? No, I can't. I feel like a real kind of office guy. The office politics in here are tough. All right. Well, what news behind us? Hold on.

I was going to do a good joke. I was going to say, watch out for Jim from accounting. I shouldn't say Jim because that makes you think of a helper, but Don from accounting. Well, that was Don. Every,

every show you, yes, every improv show you've ever seen in your life. There's an office scene and the improviser on stage has never worked a fucking job in their life. So they're always like, Oh, Roger from accounting.

And you're like, just shut up. You don't from accounting. Fuck off. Uh, Ian Roberts had a thing. Cause people would come in and be like, Oh,

the Johnson file. And he was like, all right, there is no Johnson file. There's never been a Johnson file. That's just office talk. Like you're saying that you've never experienced it just sounds like office talk and it's embarrassing to just like know when to see some 22 year old like just look it's rough to work in a cubicle and have a corporate job but i want to hear that from

someone who has done it i hate this like built built in malaise that people are like, Oh, a dead end corporate job because I hear it from a lot of unemployed kids or a lot of trust fund kids. And I'm like, yeah, working a job, you should work a job. I was surprised how many people like when we were at UCB, we were all working in office jobs during the day and then doing UCB at night. And then you come to find out a lot of these people are just like, yeah, I auditioned.

That's what I do. That's my job. So you're just kind of chilling. You audition, but you don't book. But you don't book. Imagine saying that to an actor. How rude that is. Now you mentioned audition, but I didn't see you book. You audition? But the book. You auditioned?

But the guy who booked auditioned, dude, didn't he? He was a little bit better. And that wasn't you, was it? Oh, God. That's a good way to be. We should start acting like that. Fucking asshole. In all aspects.

I go to Subway sandwiches. I'll have the ham and put the provolone on it. What are you trying to? It's so weird. He's got cheese. All right. Well, enough about cheese. I want to hear about the drink of the day.

Oh, Jefferson, this is a good one. The drink of the day is the Batanga. You've heard? Not heard or had. Not heard, Mike? Well, I've heard from you. Yeah, I've heard from you. On the text chain, of course. I've been to the Tonga hunt.

Did it appear in Booze News, Tim? Is it possible? It appeared in Booze News, and I would like to hear from my two co-hosts what what this is because i i i'm bust my ass being the editor-in-chief of booze news every week i got it i know what it is i know what it is yes we made a whole thing about it it was a trip a tick tock and it's it's and it's sweeping the nation and we have got to get our hands on this thing. Sounds very similar to the bromoza.

Yeah. And, you know, we've got to get our hands on this. We've got to learn about it. Everybody's finding out what it is. We've got to find out. No, guys, this was only like three weeks ago. And it was interesting. There's a wrinkle

tim come on let us get in there let's root around let's let us do that tim i remember tim i remember it's because people started ordering a fancy drink called a batanga and it's what is it essentially it's essentially a cuba libre with tequila instead of rum yeah and all the bartenders saying we're like yeah batanga batanga herea, here's your, here's your, you know, $17, but Tonga. And then somebody else could like saunter up the bar and say, uh, tequila Coke, please. And you get the same drink. How about that? This absolutely.

This was me. I talked about this. This was an online attitude. But do you remember this, this, this swindle of it all? The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the batonga week uh the year of the batonga not ringing any bells ah yes yep the the influencers the tiktok influencers that's all i needed but what about them what happened with them they tried they said they went down to this uh they went down to south america central america is somebody even think. Yeah, where Mexico is. Where is it? North America.

The southern part of North America. Okay. And they went there and were going to this big liquor company. And they said, we want you guys to drink this stuff and talk about it. And they said, okay, we'll talk about it. But we're going to make up a fake drink. So close, but I'll take it you guys listen you you listen good enough to make me feel like uh respected heard yes i but i will say to him a lot of the

time i just just so you know a lot of the time when you talk i just hear it just so you know just so you know, just so you know, when you talk, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh blowout early yes i gotta subscribe because that shows good it's better than this yeah it's way better um anyway yes it's basically that it was that uh i'm sitting at home minding my own

business and this is in like february suddenly the batanga batanga i see i see an uh like a cocktail guy on instagram being like hey everyone i was just in Mexico. Everyone's drinking the Batanga. It is a real drink by the way. It was, it wasn't a fake drink, but everybody's drinking the Batanga. It's a tequila and Coke with lime and salt. And you mix it up with a knife that you cut the lime with.

You got to try it. I think it's going to be the drink of the year. And then I said, Oh, and then I saw another guy say almost the exact same thing. And then slop heads were tagging me it's it's going across twitter youtube tiktok everyone is hitting way too hard with this batonga and we're being programmed dude yes us dude and then the truth comes out eventually one

of these um tiktokers uh lets the cat out of the bag and says, guys, here's what happened. A tequila brand invited us all down a bunch of different influencers down to tour a tequila distillery. And then that night we were partying at a bar and having fun and drinking batangas. Uh, and we all said, Hey, these are great, but they're not big in America. What if we get it going? What if when we all get home, we all make videos about it? And what if we see if we could start a trend?

And it was, they kind of did it. And we on Booze News were like, well, it's interesting. We're clowning on drink of the summer culture. That it's become post Spritz, post White Claw claw, post dirty Shirley. We now live in a world that's so hungry for drink of the summer talk that you can fake it. That they can manufacture it. Isn't that fucked up?

It's so fucked. We should pick what we think the drink of the summer is going to be before the summer. Oh, like a... Like make it an official, like this is the pick that the sloppy boys picked yeah yeah prediction the pick prediction the big pick prediction yeah folks next episode we're gonna be making our big prediction three little nostradamuses three little nostradami yeah that's

what the episode is gonna be called okay somebody put us in cloaks looking at a crystal ball hey i'll tell you what it's not i have never had a batonga but it's not out of question that uh it will be the drink of summer because even though it was through this kind of scammy uh pranky method it did make suddenly every cocktail person in the world is thinking about this drink that had been otherwise pretty uh not a thing here in america also the fact that you know they came out and said it was a it was a fake a setup not a lot of people i would like be paying attention to the story and go oh it was fake oh okay i don't know they just they hear whatever they hear oh i think only a small fraction of the people heard this uh the cat get out of the bag there yeah yeah and so they're still walking around fooled they got their head

in the clouds and they got that sheeple sheeple frankly. Okay. But this drink, that's why we're talking about it now, but it is a drink. It does exist and it was invented in 1961 in Tequila, Mexico. How appropriate. I didn't know there was Tequila, Mexico.

I tried to tell you. I tried to tell you. I didn't want to hear it. I didn't want to hear it. I believe that there's like five counties in Mexico where if you make an agave spirit, you can call it tequila. Otherwise, it's not that. Like the champagne rules. The Cuervo guy told us. Mezcal.

Yes. I don't remember a lick of what he said. That was a wild night. Well, he got us drunk On each level of Jose Cuervo No he Supplied chips though to line our stomach Yeah right

A basket of chips and salsa And we had seven shots of tequila By the time we got to the fancy stuff We couldn't taste And that fancy stuff is good the reserva is like thick dark syrup the familia de reserva yes tim go ahead yeah you mentioned it's invented when 1961 tequila mexico there's a bar called la capilla chapel. And there was a bar owner named Don Javier Delgado Corona. And

basically what we got here, guys, because it's the tequila, salt, and lime, it's a Paloma, but we're swapping out the soft drink. Instead of squirt, it's Coca-Cola. Oh! And this, the name of the drink, this was a funny story. I

was able to find a YouTube video of Don Javier himself telling the history and making one for the cameras. He has since passed away, but there's a good YouTube video if you want to check it out. He said the name Batanga came from he like making fun of his fat friend. The, the Batanga, the wordonga is Filipino for little canoe. And so I guess this, uh, this kid went with this Filipino guy, maybe when, when he was a chubby kid, his friends made fun of him and called him Batonga cause he looked like a little canoe or something. Um, and then, uh, cut to adulthood.

He's pretty much, his name's Batonga now. Everybody calls him Batanga. And Don Julio likes him. The dude hangs around the bar. And there's one day Don Julio, he wants to go buy more highball glasses, the tall, thin Collins kind. But the only thing that he can find at the store are slightly wider, slightly rounder glasses. slightly wider slightly rounder glasses so he said he made a joke and he said they look like batanga because they're fat because they're fatter and rounder and wider he could get his batanga guy a break batanga is crying in the corner life of pain this poor guy for all we know batanga was was honored by this because he liked this nickname. So then from that point forward, Don Javier was using those glasses and that name for his tequila Cokes.

And here is the recipe. We're free from the shackles of the IBA list. So we got this from the Diffords Guide, another very respectable go-to source um and then i also watched on javier make one so there's there's little tweaks here but here's the differed's guide recipe you ready yes three and a half ounces coca-cola mexican glass bottle if you got it cane sugar not high fructose. Damn. The lesser of the Coca-Colas, I think. You like regular Coke

better than Mexico. You're the only person that has ever said this. I know. I know. Two ounces Blanco tequila. Don Javier uses El Tequiliano tequila, but you can use any Blanco tequila. Then half ounce.

I got Patron nips, the little ones. Oh, fancy. They're funny. It's like the Patron bottle with like a little cork thing on it. Oh, those are fun. Now, you might find that that nip is probably 50 milliliters, whereas two ounces is 60 milliliters. Adjust accordingly, Michael. That's why I got two a little extra.

Now, Don Javier uses a shitload of te accordingly, Michael. That's why I got two. Now, Don Javier uses a shitload of tequila. Actually, he fills it up almost like half the way with more than half the way with tequila in the splash. He's going to get drunk if he does that. That's the idea, Mike. Half ounce of fresh lime juice. Don Javier squeezes half a lime

straight into the glass and then one pinch salt. This recipe says to put the salt in there, but Don Javier, he puts the, he rims the glass with it. Here's the method. Stir salt with lime juice in base of glass to dissolve. Add ice and other ingredients and briefly stir. A brief. Now, okay, so wait a minute.

Are we doing, are we doing the salt rim? You can if you want, right? Or is that just Don Julio's thing? I think I might put it right in there. I think I might do Diffords. Yeah, I'm a Diffords guy. Also, I don't like the idea of having all that shit on the bottom because it never stirs throughout. It never does.

But here's the thing, Jay. The iconic important thing about the batonga that was mentioned in all these TikToks and that Don Javier makes a point of is you take the knife that you used to slice the limes, you dunk it in the glass at the end, and you stir it

around. That's what you're missing, Jeff. You never stirred it around. Don't lecture me, Mike. You never stirred it around. Mike with the me Mike. You never stirred it around. Mike with the wall of books behind him. Fuck off. You're not smart enough to know that you need to stir the whole thing. It's bad luck

to stir with a knife. I say tsk tsk tsk. Interesting. That's what they say I think. Seven years bad luck. But we'll do it for the sake of the pod. You guys want to make these drinks? I'd love to. Yeah. Alright. See you soon. Folks we'll be it for the sake of the pod. Okay. You guys want to make these drinks? I'd love to. Yeah. All right.

See you soon. Folks, we'll be right back after this. Bye. And we're back. Batangas in hand. Let's see them. Classic look. I just put mine in a pint. Batangas in hand. Let's see them. Batangas. Classic look. I just put mine in a pint.

Oh, that's nice. I didn't get a great yield off that Diffords recipe. Yeah, I didn't fill my glass, but I wanted to. I didn't want to put too much Coke because I don't think there's supposed to be too much Coke. It's supposed to be a stiff drink. Now, did you rim your glass? No, I put my pinch right in there. Yeah, I did a pinch.

Yeah, I was going to rim it and I said, my lips are chapped. I don't want to do that. I'm dry. I did hear that the salt is necessary. You know, the recipe even said two pinches on one that I saw.

Okay. So here we go. Sips, yes? Sips. The recipe even said two pinches on one that I saw. And then. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So here we go. Sips. Yes. Yeah.

Sips. Oh. Mmm. Now that's. That's okay. I maybe went heavy on the salt. I'm tasting salt. I think so too.

It's like drinking seawater. It didn't seem like I went heavy on the salt. I'm tasting salt. I think so too. It's like drinking seawater. It didn't seem like I went heavy on the salt, but like salt in a Coke is, maybe that's, it just magnifies or something. A nice brine. Yeah, it's a brine. It's a good brine. I like that it's, it tastes complicated.

You know, like the Coke and tequila mix is like an interesting thing, as opposed to a Paloma that just like tastes grapefruity. This is, it tastes fancy. It does. And I'm a guy who spent a lot of time with a Cuba Libre, thanks to this pod. Right, right, right. Did you ever think, did you ever think like, ooh, did salt ever enter your brain? Mike, it never, it never entered my brain nor did um tequila just switching up the

spirit right never would have occurred because uh uh cuba libre is rum and coke yep that's your standard rum and coke and what makes it the cuba libre was the lime is that what we said like lots of lime lots of lime yeah yeah it's the extra step it's funny though that just like swapping a spirit makes makes us think like you're not supposed to do that. It's like you grow up hearing of a whiskey Coke. Yes. You grew up Jack and Coke. You grew up hearing about a rum and Coke.

Absolutely. And then only recently did I hear of a vodka and Coke. And I was like, can you do that? And of course you can do it. And it's a popular drink. You can. A vodka diet especially. Hey, how about that vanilla vodka would be good coke or vanilla coke

and vodka or vanilla vodka vanilla coke yay too much but we're looking for uses for that vanilla absolute that's pretty perfect that's your round two mike you it's funny i'm not in my home i'm not i should always travel with my bottle of absolute vanilla. It's funny. Just the tinge of tequila in this does taste more like a, oh boy, like this is a nasty boy drink. This is a party drink. It's because the taste of tequila always trips my brain into, uh oh, it's going to be one of these nights. This is going to be a Mike Talks Loud to People night. You know what I thought about Maestro? I thought

it was great. Oh, God. You haven't heard my Maestro rant? This is supposed to be an afternoon drink, by the way. It's a daytime after because it's a highball. That makes sense. That makes sense. I don't know, man. I feel like mixing

sugary Coke with your upper tequila. This is a party drink. So I guess daytime does make sense as far as i'm at a pool party yeah but i don't know man dangerous tequila during the day come on i think it's a boozy day i think don javier fills it up past the halfway point with tequila and just puts a splash of coke i think this is for a it's a darty instead of a board yeah i have that's right i um i did not stir with the knife i used to cut my lime because my lime was already cut did you use a different knife i i did use no i ended up using a spoon this is the first thing i grabbed i kind of forgot about it so maybe that's why this is too salty it's nice

you just did a big ah there jeff and it is like i do that too and i'm like oh but salt it's like the ah from the coke and then i don't think i did enough salt then if you guys are tasting brine well yeah i'm getting a big time actually i'm gonna i'm gonna run out and just dump the rest of my coke in this. Have fun. I didn't use a big pinch of salt, but the salt I used was the big fat, like coarse kosher salt. So I do think that maybe that made it saltier than I realized because those pack a punch. Yeah, you got like pretzel salt hanging around, clanking around. I was afraid it would all like stick to the bottom though.

I guess it's okay. It's worked in, but whenever they, whenever they tell you to put ice on top of like some of the ingredients, I'm always like, you're that stuff's never getting kicked up. I'm just going to taste them at the last sip. Yeah. Hmm. Hmm. I do. I'm liking it. It's interesting. I'm liking it It's interesting I'm liking it It's I yeah I needed to dilute this A little more Knee jerk I do think just Well I don't say

I'll save it for final thoughts My thoughts might evolve You never know I'm curious what just Tequila and just coke Would be that I feel like the salt Is throwing me off

But I do like salty stuff So maybe I'll grow to like it Maybe just do the rim That was the original That's a good idea Oh, Mike wants to sip selectively A little of this, a little of that

You could do a little tahini, that wouldn't be weird, huh? Not at all! Tahini is like the new thing from what I'm hearing Right, Tim, they said that, they like that now They being just the internet and have you been paying attention during booze news yes oh yes yes yes yes I pay attention from the meme let me ask you guys this

from the meme from the meme we're having a tequila coke right yep truer words were never spoken Tim now let's talk when i was younger i didn't hear the word cocktail well i heard the word but it was always like mixed drinks like do you want beer or you want a mixed drink you go to a party mixed drink um so i i tend to think when it's just blank

and blank you know like it's it's it's still a cocktail but if you know, like it's, it's, it's still a cocktail, but if you're thinking in terms of, uh, a blank and blank, what's your favorite, you, you, you, you know, uh, uh, yeah, probably Jack and Coke, rum, rum and Coke, Batonga. Um, I do tequila soda a lot at bars if I'm just trying to, like if I do a marg or something like that, I'll be like, okay, that was good enough of the sweet and sour. I'll just do like a tequila soda. But if I'm at home, whiskey ginger.

Whiskey ginger. You love whiskey. That's right. That's right. Oh, I should have said, well, it's not, I should have said a Russian root, but I didn't. Well, that would just be, well, it's not, I should have said a Russian root, but I didn't. Well, that would just be a vodka, you know, if we're doing like whiskey, ginger, gin and tonic. Vodka root beer.

It'd be a vodka root beer. He's optional. Don't put it on the ground. Spiced rum and cherry cola. Served from ground because some, I thought she was my friend and she threw her on the ground. Getting all worked up. We should have her on the show. We should have

Eva Anderson on the show. She's a big cocktail-y. She gave me my first peaty scotch. Not like a big scotch guy, but she gave me my taste of it. I was like, this is fucking gross. This is like a bandaid. And she's like, yeah,

I like it. I remember her handing me a glass and saying, taste this. It tastes like bandaid. It's like, she's selling it. Yeah. She's a,

she's a, she'll, she does some good. We'll get her on. We've had her on in like a cameo form, but we'll have her on as a bona fide guest. We should have her on to talk about, like have her pick a drink because I know she knows,

like she's a really good cook and baker and stuff. She knows some really cool specific recipes. Old timey, like pre-prohibition cocktails and shit like that. She made punches.

That's very good. And like infused stuff. She does a lot of infusing. We should have her make the, or do the drink that she put my Russian root on the ground for Her well made She should bring in the drink

Make the drink talk about the drink Put it on the ground We get to hang out Yeah we're looking to unload We get to crack wise for once Have we talked about Having a guest host Like the three of us take off for a week and having like Neil and Fran come in and host?

I think that'd be funny. That'd be great. That's funny. If the audience wants it. What if it was power violence? So it was Whit, Clay, and Bud. Oh, that's funny. And they're kind of each being one of us.

My fear with each take one of our personas. I'm Bud. I'm Bud. I'm Eva Anderson. I think we should No, I'm sorry. What I was going to say is I would be worried that either

Neil and Fran or the Power Violence guys would be better than us at this and people would want to hear them more. Michael! I think they're very funny people, so I wouldn't want them to Powerbond's guys would be better than us at this, and people would want to hear them more. We're rating Skyrocket. I could think they're very funny people, so I wouldn't want them to take our... I'm pretty funny myself. You know, I got an Emmy nomination. Yeah, but not to the level of a Neil and Fran or a Powerbond.

You're kind of your own... They got more Emmy numbs than me, that's true. Sloppy boy humor is a little... I'm not too into it um but here's a weird thing my my favorite blank and blank is gin and tonic but i've never remembered to order it you know i've never seen you with a tonic of any sort i've poked through your fridge many times tim never seen the tonic i used to have a whole bunch of diet tonic real good real good stuff with some quinine in there i bet huh i say hey hey seagram go heavy on the quinine give me that cue i was

out at a mexican restaurant recently a couple days ago with my brother and some friends and we had uh margaritas hadn't had a margarita in a long time i said this is so great this margarita it's i always kind of it's almost like the daiquiri where i'm like margarita no i don't want a big complicated drink it's like oh yeah margarita is so simple not complicated if you order it somebody else's problem it just arrives mike no i know i know but i'm picturing like you know we're talking about the daiquiri, and I was picturing a big flowery. A flowery affair, yes. It's very simple.

I made myself a Cadillac margarita the other day where I floated a little Grand Marnier on top. At the home? Most delicious, indeed. Hey, we got to do another Di Serrano drink because I want to get some of that back in my life. Yep. I did, what is it, Godfather's? The rye and the diesel? No, the Godfather was the

bourbon and scotch and amaretto. Scotch and amaretto, that's what it was. And then the French Connection was cognac and amaretto. Both good. Jeff,

were you there at the well? When I ordered a, I said, uh, can I have a French connection? And he was like, what? And I knew he wouldn't know that.

So I was like, I was like, Oh, can I have a, uh, a cognac and amaretto on the rocks? And the guy was like, okay.

And he came back with two glasses, a cognac on the rocks and an amaretto on the rocks and i was like i was probably gonna drink two anyway so i'll figure this out but you're a nice tumbler full of godfather i have now of a third glass to put i thought you were gonna say what was it you went to a movie theater or something you tried to order one and they they came back and were like that's gonna be like 36 dollars you don't want that oh Oh, it was at McGuffin's at AMC. They were like, you should buy these separately. Do you go to McGuffin's when you're not seeing a movie?

That's your idea. Yeah, it's my water. I get out of work, I belly up to the bar. Hey, kid. How are you? I had another rough day, kid. Oh, hey, Mr. Galbagas. You want some popcorn?

Another rough day? I had a rough day of telling. Oh, okay, Mr. Galbagas. You want some popcorn? Another rough day. I had a rough day of telling those toons what to do. I said that when we did the, Neil, hello, Neil, I know you're listening. I recorded a voice with you guys for the next season of Digman. And I was in the booth and it was like Neil and Tim and some other producers and stuff out in the, uh, through the window.

I was like, Neil, just, uh, just so you know, once we get done with it, or just so I know once we get done with this, we're going to,

you're going to make, put this to cartoons or something. I felt like the laugh I was looking for, but I, I hope I didn't offend him. I hope I didn't offend you. You, I hope I didn't offend you. You're going to put this in the cartoon or something? In this studio, you said there was Neil and Tim

and some producers and stuff. Did you get the sense like you would do a take and then you'd look through the window to them and they would all, everyone would turn to Tim and I would say, that's great, let's move on. And they'd be like, okay. There was even some where he just, kind of in a desk chair like this, you'd just,

they'd look at you and just the smallest, the smallest nod. Yeah. And then remember you were walking out after the session and I, I kind of gave you a thumbs up and it was like, that's huge. He never does that. Yeah.

And it was so great. Cause like, I was like the guy who gave me a thumbs up and it was like, that's huge. He never does that. Yeah. And it was so great. Cause like, I was like the guy who gave me a car ride here, thumbs up me and now I'm going to see him in the car all the way home. That's cool. Also the guy who's stuffing his face with snacks, snacks and filling his pockets with kind bars before he leaves. Actually, let me, it's good to post my W's, right?

Oh, here on the pod? Yeah. Yes, you have to. Because no one else is going to do it for you. Well, I had a big W at the, with the snacks

in the Digman studio up at Titmills Productions in the green room. I was looking and I said, look at the candy. And they had Tic Tacs in one pack with all different colors.

And I forget, it was like a tropical pack with all these different flavors. Fruit Adventure. Yes, Fruit Adventure. And I said, this is fun for me. And I took them and I was eating them. And Tic Tacs are delicious, the fruit ones. Yeah, you're just working your way quickly through a whole carton.

Here's what I did. I'm chewing them. Candy. And I start thinking, Tim, you got to guess the flavors, right? And I guess them. That's a fun little game for yourself. It's pretty clear, this one, that one. But then there was this one flavor i couldn't place and i said

jesus tim tim do you think this could be passion fruit and lo and behold i googled it and it was passion fruit wow the palette on this guy that's pretty good for a candy i I'll say. Because candy flavors we all know are wildly different sometimes. Nonsense. It could have been guava. It could have been dragon fruit. What's the deal with a Tic Tac? You eat a white Tic Tac, that thing takes a while to crunch.

Green, same thing. But the orange ones is just like chewy food. They turn to chew. Delicious. Just chew them down. And the white ones, when you first pop it in your mouth, you're getting a little vanilla. Then you get down into the mint and it tastes like toothpaste. I wish I could just have that outer coating the whole time.

Well, you could eat it like a sunflower seed, Catman. You just take one, you go get that vanilla off. Yeah, spit them out. It's expensive, but I'll try it. Jeff had Coca-Cola ones coming back to the drink. He had some Coca-Cola Tic Tacs. Can you believe that? Coca-Cola did a collab with Tic Tac. I love that.

They were okay. They were certifiably okay. These are okay. Did it taste real? Like what it was supposed to taste like? Real as the day is long, Tim. Yeah. Hey, speaking of Coca-Cola, I'm due for round two.

Yes. Not me. I'm slow on this. I think the salt is slowing me down. I'm getting down, Drew. Mike, you don't have enough ice in your glass, Mike. What are you talking about? I got three cubes. Yeah, maybe I should put a little water it down they're half melted though look at them they're pathetic yeah these are pretty fucking second string huh would you change anything for round two mike i know you already did a tweak in round one which is not normally

what we do here on the pod but what i do you added coke did you not i added oh oh yeah yeah yeah you're right i added coke to it just to because i think i added too much salt so you're getting a lot of iterations here yeah you know types of i never really one doesn't start and then they kind of start again before they end yeah it's pretty groovy scene over here for me more lime more lime lime freak i'm gonna do the don javier method to the to a t i'm gonna rim my glass with salt the pinch is not going in there and then i'm gonna do a lot of tequila and a splash of coke up top i'm in the mood to get a little drunk and to be on the sloppy boys below and i want to be like slurring and steamrolling you guys so i'm gonna make a really stiff one great isn't it funny isn't a funny feeling when

you're like i'm gonna get drunk right now when you make a concerted effort when you're like you kind of think about your day like say it's like a saturday afternoon you're like you know what i got nothing to do tonight i gotta start drinking right now a lot of times the drunkenness insists upon itself. It sort of sneaks in. So it's nice sometimes to just get ahead of it and be like, you know what? I choose you. I know what you're up to.

And I'm already at it. I have agency in this relationship. For me, it's always a reaction to that first sip. Like it hits me different any day. Like sometimes you have a sip and it just makes you tired or grumpy or weird. And then other times it's like, Ooh, Timmy.

It's one of those days. You know, sometimes I see you, Tim, and you go, let's go. Let's fucking go. Is this one of those nights? Yeah.

Pretty much. Yeah. Well, here's what I'm going to do is I'm going to get drunk because when we're done recording pods, I'm going to take out my guitar and I'm'm gonna rehearse some sloppy boys songs for our tour so i want to get nice and loose for that because i'm always drunk on stage so i should be drunk when i practice you want to rehearse in the state that you're gonna be in when you perform

yes exactly all right ten shots of fireball. All right. Well, folks, why don't you open up your ears and open up your wallets? Because here comes the ads. And your hearts. And your hearts. Don't forget your hearts. And we'll be right back here after these messages. And we're back. talk around too how'd it go timmy you did the deluxo edition the the the drunkard edition yep my my my salt went only on the rim not into the drink um and then i went

about almost like two-thirds tequila and then splash of Coke up top. Damn. I didn't do quite that much, but I had one of those fiascos happen where you get all the ice in there, right? Then you dump in the spirit and it hits the ice just so where it slingshots right back out of the glass. And I said, well, I don't know how much went in. So I'll just dump in a bunch more tequila. I wanted a nice full glass, so I topped it up, and I think I just did sort of like a freestyle.

That happens to me every time I clean my jigger for my cocktail making. I put it right under the spout or the faucet, and it goes zoop, and it comes back and it's me. Or like an ice cube tray if you're not paying attention. Those things are a That's a fly. It's a fiasco. Lupe fiasco. Kick push.

Michael, what'd you do for your drink? I'm still working on my next one. I added more ice. I'm still working on my first one. Oh, okay. Gotcha. I was like, who's working on a tick? Less salty.

I caught a little bit from the rim, not as much as before the other one was too salty my fault this one is perfect too salty god fucking damn it sorry jeff it's that it's that lag it's that internet lag wait wait explain that joke that you both made at the same time too salty my fault what too Too salty, my faulty. Yes. Yes. Jeff was about to say the why, but he realized I saved him. He scooped me.

Yeah. Scooped him. Damn. I've been scooped. This is really good. More lime juice. It's like the one thing I made a concerted effort to just pile in there is lime juice. Ooh, I would do that.

Now, this is where I would love to be at a Coke freestyle machine. Usually, this is where I would like to be. This is where I'd like to fly. There's times like this in life. Many times, useless. I'm angered that that's the option. You get it. Yeah, a lime

Coke in here. Ooh, this is going to get me nice and fired up to tear Beyonce a new asshole on the blowout. Jeff! What? I can't tease? Jeff, this is exciting. What's Jeff gonna say in the new... And who cares

what he has to say about the new fucking smash Beyonce album? No, no, everyone does. They should sign up for the Patreon. They should sign up for the Patreon. They should sign up for the Patreon. This is something people need to know. I'm worried that Jeff's going to ruin Beyonce's finances when he comes out against her new album.

I know. But Jeff, don't, I mean, say what you think, but don't go hard because she's got a family. Yeah, you're right. You could ruin them. You could ruin the Carters. Well, yeah. Hey, ruin the Carters.

Final thoughts. The one to get into it. Shall we? Should we wrap it up? My final thought on this is I would like to try this again with no salt at all. Because I think the tequila is doing a lot of the salty weight for me. They're like the flavor weight for me. The salty weight. I think I. Interesting're like the flavor weight for me. The salty weight.

I think I, I don't know what I'm saying. Interesting. You don't want the salt. Just say you don't want the salt. I don't want the salt. I know this is an order again for me. I do like it.

And I want to, I want to have it again. Hmm. Timothy, your thoughts, submit them. I have to agree. It's an order again.

I like it. I'm a Paloma guy and I love just not even a fancy Paloma, just tequila and squirt salt lime. And I like Palomas better, but it's fun to have this whole different flavor. It does. It's different. I've never had anything like this.

And, uh, yeah, I could see myself selling this spring. i can see myself settling down with this drink no like just just for variety i do think i will order this i think my most popular blank and blank order on tour i get a lot of uh i get a vodka soda but i say can i get a vodka soda in a pine glass with a lot of soda and so that it's uh hydrating but i do think i'm gonna order these like like a spritzer um i think that this is worth having a seat at the table it's different i really like it um

and here's what i'm also thinking is this is a very stiff version and it's delicious but i would you know sometimes like a little bit of rum or a little bit of whiskey and a lot of coke is kind of nice what about a version of this that's ranch water style popo no no yes yes go to a bodega get a mexican coke and a nip of tequila take one gulp of the coke pour the nip in there, walking around the streets of New York. Popo no, no, baby. Popo no, no. You go up to the cop and you say, yeah, I'm just drinking this.

Nothing wrong with this. You don't know nothing. You smell like tequila. You're arrested, you asshole. You can't shove me, that's for sure. Speaking of that type of thing my whole twitter feed x feed i i guess i clicked on some effed up videos but now when i when i open up the x app my the only thing i see is like watch this bully messes with this kid but then this kid

kills this bully and then it's like i know this kid messes with his adult and then the adult body slams the kid and this cop gets shot and this cop shoots somebody i'm like what i know i know it's that it's that for you i mean i had this too i was like how i'm not following any of these people and then i realized the front page of twitter or x there's following right up top and for for you, my following that from Tik TOK. Yeah. Yeah. My following delightful. All my friends posting jokes,

posting political stuff, whatever the for you is all like fights and like accidental murders and shit. Now, is it like that because of our algorithms, because we're dastardly dudes, or do you think everyone is seeing effed up surveillance videos all the time? I don't know. I'm looking at my, I'm'm gonna look at my twitter right now and see what i see like three people die every day when i open my phone i know it's the worst and i wish they lived well yeah

full of life and full of love people yeah people of people indeed um i think it is everybody but there is that thing though when you do click through with morbid curiosity, look, I do like to see a bully get punched in the face sometimes. I don't like to see somebody accidentally fall down an elevator shaft. That's not fun for me. I like comeuppance and I like redemptive tales. it's like watch this bad person do something awful to a good person or like like there's one i've seen a lot where it's just like a guy's walking through walking in the subway and just punching people in the face like old ladies are getting punched in the face i'm like i don't want to see yes what the fuck is that also that's like a thing that's happening now like like a guy in new york

is punching specifically women in the face what the fuck is this is it one like is that a person like one person or is this like a rash of stuff happening i don't know maybe it's one guy i feel like that i feel like that comes up all the time it's like oh watch out don't go to detroit because they're punching people in the face in detroit now or don't go to denver it's denver's getting punched in the face when somebody really gets rocked there's that half second where like a human body just looks like a piece of matter and it's really hard to witness, you know,

a lot of them hit the floor and then they're okay after a second. But in that one moment when you see a whole being with a whole life and a mother and father, and they just are a piece of matter flopping, just a piece of meat. And look, some people can take it. If you see us walking down the street and we get punched in the face,

that's fine. We can, no, no, no, no. I'm going to amend that. Don't touch me or talk to me on this. Certain people, we can take it. If you see us walking down the street and we get punched in the face, that's fine. We can... I'm going to amend that. Don't touch me or talk to me on the street. Certain people, we can take it, but other people, they can't take that. They can't take that. Don't touch me, talk to me, look at me, think about me, or be on the street

when I'm on the street. Well, think about us. Think about subscribing. Yes, only think about that aspect of me. The part of me that only is reachable through a subscription the part of me that is behind a paywall you are free to think about yes think about it my final thoughts real quick if i could fucking talk for a second yes yes yes this is a great drink but is tequila better used in a paloma i I think so. Is Coke better used in a Cuba Libre? I think so.

Oh, interesting. But hey, sometimes you want to go freaky and you want to mix things up a little bit. This is like, this does taste like a party drink. It's already got me sort of motor mouth and I'm ready to trash Beyonce. So I think you do try this and it is in order again. How about that?

Jeff, can I pitch an idea? I listened to an episode of Cocktail College about the Batanga and these guys are experts. They know their shit. And here's what they're saying. Oh, wow. In America, bottle service culture is like, oh my god, I'm in a club

and it's like $500 for a bottle. In Mexico, that's not the case. It's more like here, if you're at a restaurant you have a bottle of wine if you're both gonna have wine it just makes sense to just like get the bottle um they're saying in mexico it's very common to be like oh we'll have a bottle of tequila for the table and we'll get a couple of mixers so you have like you have a a bottle of coke a bottle of topo chico a bottle of squirt cool and everyone's making their own little highballs at the table

cool imagine that next time you have a party or just an intimate gathering in your home put the tequila bottle out there and then a few soft drinks and see who goes for the coke see who goes for the topo that's great you sit back behind a two-way mirror and you take notes of your friend just as I suspected. They're like, where has Jeff been all night? We hear him giggling through that mirror. Through that mirror. Through that large conspicuous

mirror. Just as I suspected. My calculations weren't correct. You're just looking at a mirror at them Oh Timothy Aren't you full of surprises Yeah Jeff I can hear you Just as I suspected

All my friends left I left for two seconds and they're all gone And they took the tequila That's our show follow us on social media At the sloppy boys where you can we release these recipes ahead of time

oh boy that's a batanga talking that's a batanga and if you can't get enough boys go to patreon.com slash the sloppy boys and that's where you get

the blowout that's where you get questions for Lennon and that's where you get access to the discord where you can chat with us at the live stream post-party Q&A. Pretty good deal if you ask me. These are all great. These are all

great things you should be doing. Can I share something really quick? Because it just hit me and I've got to say it. If it's personal. It's personal. Yeah, sure. Okay, so the word Batonga is really familiar to me and it finally hit me where it's from there was a toy when we were kids a what that was like it was like a nerf sword toy a toy so it was like a nerd like a like a sword or something but it was soft and foamy and you could hit each other with this soft foamy sword and i remember when i was a kid my babysitter was babysitting me and my brother

and classic her boyfriend came over and we were like oh rick's here and then he he was like beating the shit out of us with these batangas and we're like, Rick! We love you, Rick. That's what they were called? Batangas? I'm calling them... Oh, interesting. I thought they sounded like that or something. I like that name, Batanga. It sounds like a real battle cry. Batanga! You know what it reminds me of? I was like, what does it sound like?

Morongo? No, it sounds like Pachanga Casino and Resort. Pachanga. Pachanga. Pachanga. Okay okay so batanga means thick in the middle oh damn okay that so that's why that guy oh that makes sense for canoe because a canoe is like that makes sense for your babysitter's boyfriend damn yeah your boyfriend your boyfriend's thick yeah girthy boy um we should do like a uh pachanga or morongo getaway sometime like yeah oh yeah stay down there for a weekend i'm sure

they probably get a lot oh i don't know maybe it's not true but some like ironic stays where a bunch of like just like a collection of friends is like we don't want to do Vegas but like we could probably live it up in Pechanga. Yeah. Think about it. I don't need to think about it. I love it. Where's the one by the outlets when you're heading out to um. That's Morongo I think.

Okay. Morongo. Right. There's also one down by San Diego that's like Yamava. And then there's Bugaboo Creek. Is that something? That's a Canadian themed chain restaurant. We talked about that during the month.

I go there too. I do want to do it. I'll backstay. It's a good time, isn't it? After last week, we were talking about TGI Fridays, and I was looking to see if there's one in the area. It's a good time, isn't it? After last week, we were talking about TGI Fridays, and I was looking to see if there's one in the area. And all the close TGI Fridays are just like mall locations, but there's one in West Covina that's like an 80s TGI Friday.

Yeah, I've never been to West Covina. I hear it advertised, and it sounds like exactly the sort of place that would have a throwback-y TGI Friday. It was gotten by time. There's still serving food that was prepped in the 80s. Well, good episode, guys, and good episode, those of you listening at home. You're doing good work to all of us. We'll see you back here next week, and tell a friend why, don't you?

Yeah. Bye. Later. Bye. Later. Bye. Peter. Peter. Give it up for your boys
