Hey folks, welcome to the sloppy boys where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton along with Mike Hanford. Hello. And Tim Kalpakis. What is up? And we are the sloppy boys band out there on the road crushing it and still doing a podcast at the same time like it's no thing at all. That's kind of cool. That's kind of cool. Rise and grind type of thing for us. A couple Sigma males just grinding it out together. How do we get so gobbled up by hustle culture, huh? When did that happen? Well, we spend too much time online. That's the problem. I think you'll notice my, my voice is a little sticky today. Sticky? Yeah. Or stinky. Sticky, sticky. Watch it, buddy. My throat's a little blown out.

Is this from singing? Yes. On the tour. My ears are a little blown out. Jeff, you were complaining about your ears and now now I'm joining the ear team. My ears ring every time. I was so surprised, Tim, to hear that you don't wear earplugs. I can't believe it. Mike and I are devoted earplug wearers. But don't you want to hear what's going on? Well, that's the thing.

If I don't have earplugs in, I think I have weird ears where it just sounds like, like everything is just like maxed out. I had a touch of that when, when, uh, uh, dear Blanco was sound checking, I was standing in the room listening and it was sort of like, like everything was mashing together. I was like, it's mashing, it's mashing. Um, so I do know what you mean, but I guess I just have impeccable ears. But I guess in the long term, I should I should protect my ears. They're my moneymakers. Tim, the iron ear.

I like that. Indestructible. Iron ear, iron stomach. Memory man. That's three attributes. And he flies. I can't I can't afford to to hurt my ears because I already have problems with my tonsils, uvula, and septum. Right. Sure.

All the head holes are fucked. The whole head's falling apart. You're losing notes left and right. You're hemorrhaging notes. You can't compromise the inputs as well as the outputs. Oh, God. I'm fucked. You'll notice I have shaved the area around the mustache.

It is now looking like a bad mustache, but I assure you it will be bold soon. Good to have the assurance, yeah. I assure you. That's impressive. It's over a webcam. It is visible. So this thing's growing, man. Also, my light is, my light's off.

Why? Because I use pretty low light in here. Yeah. I was so dead set on like we gotta pivot to video gotta pivot to video and our videos fucking suck man yeah these we're on the videos on the way out we've already talked about this i don't like it anymore i don't think the people i think even the youtube comments are like you you could do a way like this sucks i close my eyes during this i don't know who it's for and once again i don't like today is a day where i feel greasy grimy didn't want to be camera ready i even put on a nice shirt but this is more like a farewell farewell video aspect folks this is the last video wow mike why not we're all we're

doing is saying we don't like it honestly i'm fine with that fuck it see you later fine with it now if there were a fan uproar yeah we'll do anything the fans say but well sure if there's a fan uproar also like i mean i'm looking i'm looking at the the views on youtube of our our videos and it's like the same number of subscribers we have so it's like it's just like it's like popping up it's like, it's just like, it's like popping up in people's inbox and they're clicking on it for a second or something. But we wanted these to go viral all over the whole net.

That's the fun thing about this podcast. We're sort of learning how it works. Try something, pull it back. Yeah, it's nice to try something for six months and then realize it was a waste of fucking time. We're like McDonald's. No, we gave it a whirl. We gave it a whirl we had we did our own weird version of it though like we're not sitting at a studio with uh with nice cameras and we don't have the look you know

like guys you know you look at instagram yeah there's the look there's a bunch of guys and they got headphones on and they're talking and they're and they're like hey what's your body count yeah exactly it's like um would you smash who's who's the comedian who's my body count sure would you smash your body count anyone on the body count you'd re-smash we should have a blowout episode called body count where we go through and we talk about who we want to re-smash so with our body you we have to pick it at a moment where we know our body count is not going to go up because we're just going to be going back and re-smashing again um yeah but then that would be a good discussion too what what what does that do the numbers of a body count it keeps it the same i haven't heard body

count in real life joe i i get what it is, but is that an internet thing? No. I feel like. There's a sex thing. There is sex on the internet. But you hear like, you see like a shirtless dude on the beach, like holding the earbud. You know how like they do that now? They like hold the earbud right up to their mouth.

Yeah. And they're like, they like find a drunk girl coming out of a club and they're like oh would you smash what's your body count oh just stupid shit like that you know what is crazy is in that genre of video on youtube and tiktok and stuff there's like prank videos from people that like don't have a brain so like you what prank tv shows bare minimum somebody came up with like a moderately clever prank on, on now you see these clips where it's like a hot girl walks up to a nerd and she's like, hi, I want to go on a date with me. And he's like, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

The worst acting you've ever seen in your fucking life. And then she's, she's like, I wasn't talking to you. And it's like, Oh, no. And you're like, well, there was not even a clever thing about this whatsoever. Yeah. But then 52, you know, thousand people in the comments are like, Oh, what's her at? Oh, sorry, bro. Do you know her at, by the way, taking it completely face value. I love to see a prank. Like, um, there's a lot of pranks of like people in target or something. And when somebody is not looking, they get a ball thrown at them and then they turn around and the person has like disappeared or whatever. But you know,

when you do a prank, you're, you're supposed to be like, I'm the clever one. But when you're not clever and you do a shitty prank and you put it on YouTube, it's like, it's funny to see a dumb person think they got away with something.

Yes. I like that. I like the videos. This is more, more in Tim's thing where it's like, it's funny to see a dumb person think they got away with something. Yes. I like the videos. This is more in Tim's thing where it's like someone's in peril. Like someone's getting their pocket picked. And the other person, they're all in on it together. Like comes by, pushes that guy off, gets the pocket back to the other guy. And then he gives the wallet back to the other guy. It's like, oh, okay, this is what we have to do on the street.

And they have like the little highlighted zones to see to the other guy. It's like, Oh, okay. This is what we have to do on the street. And they have like the, uh, the little highlighted zones to see where things are happening. It's like, it's all fake, man. This is me off. This is me.

This is me off. Hmm. It makes me sad. Well, you know, it doesn't piss me off. Tim hit it. Um,

uh, bib, bib, bib, bib, bib, booze news. Hit it. Ooh. Tim hit it um um boos news hit it

Dank Caliendo! He makes the beat fart. Oh, boy. Running with the booze news was sent to us by DJ Dank Caliendo from Atlanta. And if you have a booze news theme,

email it to sloppyboyspodcasts at gmail.com. He makes the beat fart? Yeah, I don't know about that. That was an ending of an outro rivaling Thriller and Benedicto.

Yeah, I should say so. Which we talked about on the blowout. Yeah, and hey, if you want to hear that, the worst of Dr. Benedicto and Lil Thriller, plunk down the five, folks. Go to Patreon.com. Get on that blowout. And company. It's not just those two. It's all the guys like them. All this run, this sort of this.

It's all genre. This whole scourge. There's like the British or the British wave that came British invasion. What would this be? Just kind of a dud rapper invasion. Shitty invasion. Shitty rapper invasion. We discussed it all.

Hearing this final countdown and running with the bulls by dj dan caliendo was reminding me of how cool was it us live in chicago coming out night one we're playing chicago we come out we're wearing bulls jerseys people like oh fuck they're wearing bulls jerseys we fucking opened the show with running with the bulls oh we open with the new fucking crushing the jerseys are screen accurate to the running with the bulls music video as if everyone would assume yeah they definitely bought three different jerseys after after that one afternoon of wearing them there's like with uh hollywood productions like we have the hero outfit and versions all of it in the back. And one thing that I wish I did on the Bulls jerseys, when you order them, they do have like a little blank patch on the breast where it's like if you have another logo or a sponsor, if you're if these are for a little league team or whatever but i found an nba logo and so we could have made them look even more like

nba official by having the embroidered official logo on there but it was like an extra like 20 bucks per and i said nobody's gonna care yeah now they will i'll get my own patch i'll send my shirt back to that uh wherever that was fansidea.com. Fansidea. Fansidea. They're really good jerseys, I got to say. So, you know, we rocked Chicago. We rocked Milwaukee. We had a great time.

As of, you know, tonight, which this episode is dropping on May 10th. So tonight we're going to be at Littlefield in Brooklyn. Oh, yeah. Playing a big fat extra long set tomorrow. Saturday, May 11th we're playing in Westerly Rhode Island and then at the United

Theater, part of the Alt Comedy Fest. Then Sunday night we're doing a screening of our movie and then you can catch us next week in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. So like there's a lot going on. Great time to be a slop head. I'd say. Always a great time.

But you get a podcast and you get a movie and you get albums and you get music. It's it's did someone once call it a groovement? Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Hey, and shout out to all the patrons and slopheads that came out to our Chicago and Milwaukee shows. Great seeing you guys. And you guys are, I love seeing the little pockets of friends out in the audience. They're having meetups during the day. They're flying in from all over the country and they're splitting Airbnbs.

Yeah. It's so fun. They tried to have a meetup during a show and I was like, hey, get the hell back here right now. You too. Yeah, you all. Disperse. Disperse. No meetings during the show.

You paid for this, so you sit down and listen to this. Fine. Let's talk a little bit about Chicago, Milwaukee. Because whenever we travel, I am a little bit mind-blown by... Wait, did we get to the booze news? I'd say, Jeff, I say we do booze news. And then when we get into the, after we make the drink, let's talk Chicago. So that'll be a nice tease.

Yeah, well, because also the drink is a shot. So we're going to take a shot and then it'll be hitting us when we talk about tour. Yeah, we can wax nostalgic. Okay, cool. Okay, well, and here's the good news. Today's booze news is one of your favorite things. It's quick bips, following up on stuff,

bipping and all around a little bips that people have, uh, followed up on stories. Yeah. Number one, this was sent to me. I'm only getting to cover it now, but this came, everyone was till a Tim.

Did you see this? Did you see this? And it was good detective work. recently there was a Jimmy Buffett, uh, tribute at the Hollywood bowl. I believe is where it was good detective work. Recently, there was a Jimmy Buffett tribute at the Hollywood Bowl, I believe is where it was. And there was a viral video that came out of it because of the number of celebrities on stage singing Margaritaville. Did you guys see this? I did see this. It's a slow pan left to right.

And the caption, the one I saw anyway, was just like, every that like comes into frame is somebody you'd be like what right like you'll never guess who's next you're like woody harrelson it's like i think harrison ford yeah harrison ford is is the real shocker because it'll go from like joe walsh from the eagles to harrison ford like and then like mccartney and woody harrelson's in there so that was the thing is that if you're if you're an eagle-eyed slophead and you looked at Sir Paul McCartney in his hand, he's holding a margarita and you would notice it's visibly juicy and orange. It had the juice from one orange? It had the juice from one orange. We can only assume, Tim.

And only assume, Tim. It's a Paul McCartney margarita, which we covered a year and a half ago on this very pod, which was a viral thing that if you're the private jet company that is flying Sir Paul around, make sure on the plane that you can make for him this juicy margarita. Very strong, but also very juicy. Yeah, which is pretty strong pretty uh heavy on the booze yeah i pulled it up on sloppydrinks.com one of my favorite websites oh yeah oh shit um do you remember this logo that we made like we'd post the little recipe captions if you're following us on social media and i found a neon signature of paul mccartney and so i kind

of like put it in the bottom left corner of this just to make it kind of look semi-official and i did get some dms of people being like damn dude podcast blown up like in what world would paul mccartney collaborate with our fucking podcast yeah he signed off we got like wow yeah it's official we were told that this is the year this is the year the sloppy boys reap the the Sloppy Boys reap the rewards. Oh, yeah. So that was a year ago. Now he may be knocking at our door.

Yeah, that witch told us that. Who said knocking at your door? We're reaping the rewards this year. Maybe next time they do one of these big star-studded benefits, maybe we'll be up there because a friend of ours. Because? Because a friend of ours, Patrick McDonald, who he used to just host a jimmy

puffett buffett podcast but he got eventually hired he's a dj on margarita sirius xm margaritaville now that's right he's like one of their main dudes and he uh invited us to come play at the city walk uh margaritaville we couldn't do it because we were on tour, but I could see us and the Parrotheads being a very simpatico audience. I would think almost the way that a lot of Phish fans are ex-Dead fans. Once their favorite band isn't functioning the way it used to, they come back down. They make the pivot. Now, Mike, what do you think of the sphere? Do you think they were on the cusp of something big here?

If you didn't listen, folks, go back and listen to the blowout. We talk about the sphere. In Vegas, I've been having so many wonderful thoughts about the sphere. That's nice. You just have a thought and you smile? I was watching some YouTube videos of the different songs from different nights. And Jeff, there's one I'm going to send your way that kind of is a nice example of showing the limitations and what can happen.

Limitations? Interesting. Where we are now. Don't arm Jeff with limitations. He's already a naysayer. Yeah. I know. He already doesn't like the sphere for some reason. Oh, because he It's too round. He got scared in the Boston Omni Theater. Yeah. Well, Roger Clemens threw a ball right at my head.

Well, Jeff, don't give it away. That was the blowout. Yes, Roger Clemens threw a ball at the screen, and Jeff had to leave in tears. Yes, yes. To be fair, it was a, you know, it was a middle school trip. Yeah, middle school. I was 13.

Wait, I was going to say something Yeah. Middle school. Yeah. This was 13. Um, wait, I was going to say something about, yeah, yeah. Peculiar alliances. You know, I feel like the slop heads and the parrot heads would get along really well.

Like, um, what's that quote from Lord of the Rings where it's like, I never thought I'd be in battle fighting alongside a dwarf. Oh yeah. How about alongside a friend? Is that, wait,

is that Braveheart or is that Lord of the Rings? There's no dwarfs in Braveheart. No, but am I subbing in like an Irishman or something? Either way, that's pretty good. I think that was in the Irishman movie. Oh, the Irishman, yeah. I believe it was Joe Pesci who spouted those lines. Oh God, that movie is so long it's still

going on. God, I know. I love that movie. Everyone complained about length. I loved it. Every minute of it. Fuck off. No, it's a great movie, Tim, but one time I had some friends who wanted to do a Snyder Cut of Superman and Irishman back-to-back matinee. I said, guys,

we'll be here until next week. Yeah. Exactly exactly and then they wanted to listen to cowboy carter and the fucking extended tortured poets society yay enough wait what is what did they what did she call that ttpd right but but the extended one is called like uh xl big boy long dong johnson style But the extended one is called like. XL Big Boy Long Dong Johnson style. Here comes the magnum. Okay. Next bip of three bips is that the film, The Dawn of Tiki, which is a documentary about Don the Beachcomber.

We've been waiting for it to come out. It had its premiere at the Florida Film Festival recently. So we're going gonna get this film soon we're gonna get to watch this that's great it got some really good reviews and it does look uh very cool so i'm pumped for that to be here we are in a similar business right we have a documentary we're doing live screenings but there will soon be a a wide digital release but right now we're talking to people in person hey that would tim that would be a good double feech yeah yes a little a little feech feech maybe that and then throw irishman on the end of that one you won't be done until next month uh damn

i so i was really hoping for a i was over a cheer after that well it's just like the sloppy boys documentary and then the Don the Beachcomber one because we like cocktails and we like tiki and stuff. And then the Irishman because it's long. Yeah, because we've just been talking about it so much. Let me tell you this too.

Don the Beachcomber, big cocktail maker guy. We're about to, the Sloppy Boys are going to sit down with Dale DeGroff and have a chat with him and release that. King of the cocktail. This is huge. King of the cocktail. Dale DeGroff. Living legend, Dale DeGroff on the pod. When we started this show, we had a lot of people

being like, you know, you'll never meet Dale DeGroff. You guys couldn't even meet Giuseppe Gonzalez. Uh-huh. He stopped responding, by the way. Remember, there was a brief moment where he and I were like DM buddies? Right, right.

He was like, okay. He probably was like, ooh, let me check the profile of this guy. What the hell am I doing? What is this guy's whole thing? This guy's sliding into my DMs, at Tim Kalpakis. He probably saw just like your little icon badge and was like, and was like oh i'm talking to pedro pascal i'm gonna keep this going then he clicked here oh freak showman fright night well hey look the quick bips aren't that quick when we riff for like okay here's the third and final bip get a

I was the test kitchen and I approved of them and I just helped her like with some like how to list out some of the recipes. But for slop heads, listen to this. She invented these are all batch cocktails that you make like an like like a canteen cocktail for when you're camping camping there's an amaro spritz an amaro sour spritz jam drink black currant spritz passion fruit colada hibiscus ginger gin fizz

that black currant spritz sounds great it's got to be shamborg it sounds like it sounds like a bramble ramble to me oh shit ultimate bramble ramble out in the woods in a camper so timmy lee sort of did like an off the grid thing as as i understand it right she was like during covid she left brooklyn and and lived in a camper in the woods with her boyfriend and they built a house and she was doing all this cooking just nash posting on instagram like hey i made this one skillet thing over a fire or whatever and got so much attention from she had been a food stylist in brooklyn working for thrillers and stuff she got so much attention over instagram then comes the lit agent then come the publisher bing bang boom damn now we got a new most famous kelpakis

On Booze News, there was a different. Yeah, no. Remember the Madam Preserve? Madam. Yeah.

It was like Bon Madame. Bon Madame. And it was like, hey, when you're done with your jam, don't rinse it out and recycle it. Put a little booze in there. Shake it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, those drinks sound, you said, go into a canteen. They go nicely into the Sloppy Boys flasks people bought. The merch table that our shows.

Yes. Yeah, pretty good. I'm excited for this book because, Tim, you've been telling us about each step. And I really like just seeing the cover now. I really like that cover. It looks like an old-timey cookbook like I would see in my mom's. Yeah, it's real. It's beautiful.

It's beautiful. Yeah, yeah. And it feels, you know what's funny? Like on the internet, I couldn't tell because it's, it's, it's on Amazon, but you're just looking at a JPEG that's like kind of blown out, but I'm holding it. It's like, yeah, this is like a beautiful book you put on your coffee table or your shelf of cookbooks.

And you say, look at that. Oh, let's see the author picture. In the back. It's her in the camper with her boyfriend, Sean and her dog, Mackie. Nice. Yeah. That's in Catskill, New York, right across the river from Hudson, which is like, uh, Hudson is super, super posh and hip.

And then Catskill is like kind of, uh, up and coming, but still woodsy. Nice. Well, she and Sean and I have, uh, plans to ski at some point. Now are you going to do a French fries or pizza when you're skiing? If I want to go fast, the French fries. No pizza. I'm on a low-carb diet. Yeah, okay. You don't see a lot of pizza

stands up there on the double black diamond. A lot of fries. They're lousy with fries up there. I think that's where you see a lot of people going, I ain't going down there. Hey, just wait until our little Aspen residency, our sloppy boys Aspen residency. Yeah, I know. That'll be nice.

You get a lot of skiing done. You know what? One time I was skiing. I was skiing once. And, you know, this is when I wasn't on keto. And my, you know, my backside was a little bigger. And, you know, I'm doing the, just by myself. I was in a lesson doing the French fries pizza, French fries pizza.

And I was kind of going down to a pizza and an instructor looked at me and goes, whoa, look at that. You're doing pizza with a little stuffed crust. I said, my God. Jeez. Jeez, Louise. Pizza with a little stuffed crust. He's trying to plug Pizza Hut out on the slopes too.

Corporate shit. Yeah, corporate shit. So what what there was before the keto mike there was an era where your butt was so big that you burned it on the heater in your bathroom because right you couldn't get from the shower because that thing it's like driving an 18 wheeler tim he's turning around this little brooklyn apartment i bent down and my butt stuck out and hit the heater that's's when you knew. You gotta make some changes. I said, somebody fried up some bacon around here.

Is somebody baking ass? Alright, is that it for Booze News? Wrap it up. Yes. Okay. Alright. Now, today we are talking about a shot that was brought to us by a fan in night two of Chicago, I want to say. Yes, night two?

Yep. I believe. Yes. I'm going to find all the information on this guy. This is Sam, and he's on the Discord. He goes by Fanny Dooley. Fanny Dooley. Fanny Dooley Fanny Dooley I was trying to track him down and I asked

Dan Padley from the Discord I was like hey what's that guy's name again and Dan Padley was like well he's Bad Liver Piss's brother Well Dan I know the lineage of the fucking family tree here man He's doing his own Lord of the Rings

lineage lore over there the discord oh shout out to dan padley too jumping up on stage with us and playing oh yeah yuppie man in milwaukee well that was good hey more well okay go ahead we'll get into it we want to talk about that segment too sorry that's like but we we're sitting there in the uh was saying hi to people and sign up some posters in the merch line uh sam comes up to us you guys want a shot it's called the ferrari say all right what is this he says it's fernet and campari wow and i'm gonna tell you the ingredients right now uh uh equals parts both all right put that in the shot glass and drink it up it's an easy one i i'll give you the exact uh. But yes, this is a drink that I couldn't find anything exactly when it came out.

But these Fernets and Campari's were getting big in like the 90s, 2000s in San Francisco. So I'm assuming this isn't too late past that. I'm assuming it wasn't too late past that. Good podcasting. That that. Good podcasting. That's some good podcasting. The podcasting is the research is what's lacking. I always forget about this San Francisco connection because I always think of Fernette as a kitchen staff drink. Right.

But then it also, yeah, it did. It got big in America because it started in San Francisco. But what did we say? Tim, go ahead. You're going to say it, right? I was going to say we were at a dive bar in Chicago and we roll up. Hey, it's a record scratch moment because we roll in with a Pequod's pizza and we're like, and they didn't really like it. But we I ordered a Fernette Rocks and Jeff ordered a Fernette and Coke.

And then a bar fly next to us was like, hey, are you gays from Chicago? I'm not. I said, you, sir, are from Chicago. I know. He said, are you from San Francisco? And we were like, no, L.A. And we didn't put it together in the moment. I thought he was hitting us with like, oh, like a West Coast, like, oh, you think you just bring your pizzas around here?

Right. It's like, this isn't your living room, bud. Yeah. Well, I think there was a little bit of that, like, ain't from around here, are you? But then I softened him, did I not? You did. You rizzed him up. And that's the thing.

His intention wasn't to be surly. Tim? It turned out that he was born and raised in chicago was back in chicago but had lived in san francisco for five years so when he heard frenet that's uh he just assumed it from san francisco and then i talked to the guy for an hour and we talked about bars we like in san francisco and he's the love of my life well the articles i read about the ferrari shot start to mention when we're talking about the Fernet Branca, the bartender's handshake.

Yes. Like if you're if you order that, they might go, oh, are you a bartender? If you know, you know, free. That one's for free. But I think it's it's not just for that. My understanding from what I read is just kind of like any type of stinky little shot or a funny shot is a good one. This is one I hadn't heard before.

A miniature daiquiri is a good one this is what I hadn't heard before a miniature daiquiri is a snackery in the bar world I have heard that I like that it's kind of cool so we've got we got for net made in the I'm gonna get these dates right Campari invented by a guy named jesperi campari invented in 1860 then you got fernet bronca also named after the uh inventor benedicto bronca in both in milan benedicto oh my god no no no i got benedicto on the brain bernardino bronca both made in milan isn't that funny 1845 for the for the phone for the for that bronca Bronco Mix them together and we're going to Shoot them down because it's a Ferrari

It's going to go fast Shoot them? I heard I mean we shot them down On the day we discovered them This is what we can talk about But then I read a lot about it saying This is also a nice pungent slow sipper Could be

Put a big cube in that Put it in rocks glass that's gonna be good equal parts yeah and i i saw some recipes where you double the amount uh uh because the shot is like yeah three quarters of ounce but if you double that and then you shake it and you serve it up uh yeah it's a good cocktail yeah um now i want to tell you guys about a show let's let's make these and get to it i want to tell you about another drink that i found while looking for this okay that'll be fun but uh how do you guys want to do this i'm thinking just my stuff's been in the fridge uh no nothing none of the recipes said to freeze it or anything or to uh cool it but yeah i want it it's hot here why don't we go away and then come back

and we do a live pour is it simple enough we can do a live pour i think if you want equal parts that's all you gotta do do. All right, folks. Now, Jeff, are you doing the cocktail or the shot? You know, I think I'm going to do... The episode's the shot, so... I'll do a shot and then I'll sit and sip. Thank you, because I have been... Tsk, tsk, lambasted down to a nub for stuff like that before.

Well, this is good. I can learn from your mistakes. All right. All right, folks. Well, this is good. I can learn from your mistakes. Alright. Alright, folks. We'll be right back. We're going to gather our ingredients, and when we come back, a live pour. Hell yeah. And we're back with a live pour of ferrari shot the rare live pour guys can i show you what a what a reputable trustworthy co-host and man of who is true of heart i am yeah yeah when we said we were doing this drink i thought hell yeah timmy you get to buy a bottle of Fernet and you get to put it on the slop card. That's going to be good.

Sloppy was LLC paying for one of my favorite drinks. We weren't doing that anymore. I look at my bar cart when I'm about to step out the front door and there's just enough Fernet in the bottom of this guy to do the drink. And then I go, okay, well, at least I'll get to buy Campari. Then I look at this Campari. There's just enough Campari. So it's going to clean me out of two of my things that I love. Damn.

So the sloppy boys LLC will be able to keep that money in the account for a little bit longer and earn the interest on it. Good. Yeah. Thank you, Tim. Because we do a lot of, it's like like like bank of america we use the money to it now i i had heard uh maybe it was in the there's a book that um tom lennon and uh uh ben uh ben garrett yeah uh is it the movie writing one yeah that's great that's really

great it's a great book. Yeah. Ben, wait, who am I thinking? It was Garrett, Ben Garrett, Brad Garrett,

Brad Garrett. He's the fucking, anyway, it's called how to, how to write movies for fun and profit. Yeah. It's something like that. Like how to make millions and move writing movies. Yeah.

Anyway, they're talking about how like writers tend to write screenplays or features tend to get paid a lot later because the companies can keep that money in their accounts to make money i think that's the book he was talking about interesting i think just in general that's why people get paid so late a lot of time oh i made a kind of a towering shot i made a little guy because i assume we're going to have some more of this i this this is i was happy to get to use my jigger that is a three quarter ounce. So this shot,

it totals an ounce and a half, but look how big that is. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't say. So we're going off the liquor.com. It's three quarters an ounce Campari, three quarters an ounce Fernet Braca. Common wisdom is to double that for a cocktail version. Ah, yes. Right. Also,

I did see some that were like put it in a glass and stir with ice to cool it down that's what gave me the idea to cool this down you know another thing uh speaking of being on the road the tiny little plastic shot glasses oh yeah those were everywhere out there chicago little one ouncers yeah yeah like the little little tiny guys which by the way are um very kind to your band who's trying to play a set to shoot a bunch of those little guys. Thanks to everyone who got us shots. All right, want to shoot it? Yeah.

Bombs away. Vroom. Here we go. Thank you, Enzo. Four versus Ferrari. Thanks, Enzo. Ooh, that was a two-gulper for me. We should say thank you, Sam, for giving us this idea.

Thank you to Bad Liver Piss's brother. Wait, now, who's Bad Liver Piss? I mean, I know the name, but have they been to shows before? Rings a bell. It's funny because their screen names or their handle on Instagram is often not their handle on Discord. So I've just given up trying to keep track of everybody. Yeah, it's like I know when I see him. But yeah, yeah, sure.

Sure. Wait, Sam also brought us the Malort spritzes. Yes, he brought us cans of Malort spritz for that was night one. That was night one. I mean, obviously we don't I don't love Malort. I'll do it as like a fun little thing. But I was thinking like this is going to be a tough drink to get through. It's a delicious drink.

I loved it. It was, it was very light. And then what was funny the next day though, I had one and I took a sip and I was like, it tastes a little bit like Heinz ketchup. And then from that point for once I had the thought, I was like, Oh my God, this I'm like drinking Heinz ketchup. Yeah.

Don't know what that is. Um, but Sam also recommended Small Cheval Where we got those Really good burgers Oh yeah See Sam like

Put together our whole Curing Curing our off stage lives Thank you Sam We did Pequod's We did Small Cheval We had some great breakfast At the Airbnb we stayed at

We hung out at the Corner Bar in Bucktown And then in Milwaukee We went to A fucking At Random We had some great breakfast at the Airbnb we stayed at. We hung out at the Corner Bar in Bucktown. Mm-hmm. And then in Milwaukee, we went to a fucking At Random. Oh, wow. That was so good. That was just a cool spot. And that was like a late night, last minute thing.

Yeah. Because there was basically a rave going on. Yeah. On our stage right after the show. Yeah. We hung out for a little bit and said, you know what, let's check out this bar down the street at random. People had mentioned it to us.

Called at random. And when you walk in, they have curated such a vibe. All of the lights are the same color temperature red. It's this like beautiful wash, this mellow vibe. We sat around a big horseshoe, like a semi-circle at the end of the bar. Yeah, that was fun. And then I got myself an ice cream brandy old-fashioned. Jefferson, it was so good. Delectable. I got something on their menu.

It was a tequila drink that I thought was really good. A couple of the dudes got Last Words. That's a big Midwest thing. And me, I had my first ever brandy old-fashioned press. Which is a brandy old-fashioned sweet with 7-Up or Sprite. But then it's watered down with a little bit of seltzer. Makes the whole thing a little brighter. Should that be the next one we do for Thanksgiving?

Yes, Michael. That's a great idea. But man, this place really excelled. They had page after page of ice cream cocktails. Yeah. It's like their thing there. Yeah. It was funny because like in the menu, if I remember correctly, it was like a bunch of

ice cream things. And then it's like, where aren't there drinks here? Yeah. Page after page. Yeah. Page after page. Chapter after chapter. Book guy.

Uh, IFC. It's what I'm after. What's the next line? Something. I was what i'm after what's the next line something i was what i'm after my oh my i don't know why i'm a book dude and i'm in the mood um you know what's funny though i was drunk at uh at random and then i uh you were me i think we were all fucking shit house i i was like he he i'm gonna be doing my little move of quietly ordering some pizzas to the apartment when we get back. And so the only thing open was toppers pizza, which is kind of like almost like a Domino's pizza type chain. But it had all these Midwest.

It had like Wisconsin cheddar pie or a cheese curd pie. And then it had I was like trying to be covert and I was looking, I was like, okay, I'm going to get one hand tossed, one classic thin crust. Then I'm going to get one tall pie. And I thought it was going to be so dynamic. And then we got back and it was just like pretty much three identical pieces tasting like dominoes. That was, no, they tasted better than dominoes.

And those, those crusts were humongous big old chunker they were good they were kind of like light too crush you got to work on and some guys uh they passed out with crust in their lap yeah crust in the lap all we are is crust in the lap i was i was able to find myself a bed but we had a few guys who went down um man imagine waking up 3 p.m 3 a.m 3 a.m 3 a.m you're on the couch your boys didn't find you a bed yeah you got a paper plate with three crusts on it and a full cocktail by your side without lack of trying that we tried to get those boys they wouldn't budge folks um here's something i is, um, I was, there was this theory, Hey, let's put the snorers together. So the snorers have to deal with each other.

So I, I shared a room. I shared a bunk bed, uh, with clay, the trumpet player from dear Blanca queen size, drunk bed, bunk bed. Yeah. They should call them drunk beds. That's when I walked through, I passed through your bedroom you guys were sharing the bottom bunk of the bunk bed and i was like this looked like a fucking snuff film because i i had this it was dark and i had the flashlight for my phone on and i saw it's you guys both in your underwear it looks seedy it looks like the criminal video above the blankets just like yeah that was it you weren't under the blanket it was too hot it was too hot anyway i shared the bunk bed and the other room with another snorer he falls asleep he's sawing

logs and i i didn't find it unpleasant it was loud and i and but i realized i listened to 10 hour box fan on spotify when i go to bed and i like a little bit of white noise so i it was kind of a good thing we put the snorers together because I didn't give a fly the fuck. I slept right through it. I, uh, wait, oh shoot, something about snoring? Damn, I just forgot. Oh, the shot just hit me right

now in one second. Me too. I was just trying to remember something good about sleep. Did you guys eat lunch? Uh, a light salad. I had a great, no, did I have lunch? Sleep. A light salad. I had a great... No, did I have lunch? I had a great lunch. I had a great lunch. Did I have lunch?

I had a great lunch. It may not have happened today, but I've had great lunches. I had two black and white cookies for breakfast and then no lunch. Timothy, you could be doing shots after that. I know. And now you want to go out on the town? I'm feeling the zing-pang-pang.

Out on the town. We're burying the lead on this episode, what today is. It's a very special day. It's a very special day. The day that Mrs. Kalpakis gave us. Timmy. Don't forget about Mr. Kalpakis. Was he on a ball? He had a little something to do with it, too.

He did his part at the beginning and I stepped out. And then we got that cat. And then he took off and no one has heard from him since. Mr. Mrs. K had a beautiful evening together. And then 26 years later, we get Tim Kalpakas.

Yeah. So I would love to get the play by play of that whole evening. Not me. That's a, I just like to leave it as a magical night. You know, what's funny is I actually do know, uh,

my mom very casually mentioned one time we were at, uh, the Winona lodge, which is like a lake, like a hotel on a lake upstate New York. And my mom was like, Tim, you were conceived here.

And I was like, Oh, Hey, it's funny, man. Have was like have you seen that uh that vintage light that i have that florida ceiling sort of tension pole light that i have it's like a mid-century little it's like brass it's got this like beautiful green glass globes coming off it that was in my grandparents basement and for a short time before i was born my both my parents were staying down in that basement bedroom while they were like building the house or whatever and so my dad you know he he brought out they were like do you want this lamp do you want he brought out his dick he presented it to my mom he brought it out he brought it out of his underwear forever conversation

like you know your parents are like do you want this thing from your grandma? And you're like, yeah, yeah, if I have room for it. Yeah. Eventually, they were like, we're going to bring you this lamp. And I said, good, I want that lamp. It sounds like very fragile. So they bring it out lovingly. We put it all together.

We do a little trip to Home Depot, me and my dad. This is a good project for me and my dad. Both handy boys. We put it up. It looks great. Connecting on a caveman level yeah you guys what are you listening to counting crows savage garden what's on the boom box we're listening to my mom go you're not doing it right um and then uh no she's not like that

and then we finally we we put it all together and it turns on and i was like wow i remember that lamp from grandma's basement and here it is isn't that crazy and my dad goes yeah you were conceived in that basement basement I was conceiving a penthouse baby tell that story but here's the thing I don't feel weird out weirded out by that I feel a strong kinship towards this lamp. This lamp saw me get fucking. Yeah, the lamp. Sure. Yeah, the lamp. The lamp saw the whole thing.

Saw it all go down. You guys have those nice stories. My parents, I've asked them about my conception. My mom just said, let's just say we were close to calling you a 10 pump Hanford. Mom! Let's just say your father was cranking off and I caught him and then next thing you know whoops oh mom let's just not say why do you do that that was i let's just say i don't want this my mom's thing took a turn too because i was like oh the winona lodge that's a beautiful place and she was like yeah and we were getting into some real kinky BDSM shit. I said, Mom!

We actually had to pull you up off the floor. This is where we washed the gimp masks. We were both wearing gimp masks because we're both subs. Mom! Two subs? That's why I love Jersey Mike's. Okay, okay. All right, let's take a love Jersey Mike's. Okay. Okay.

All right. Let's take a little break. We'll come back. All right. We're going to settle Mike down a little bit. Folks, we're going to listen to the ads. We'll be right back after this. And we're back ferrari round two wing wing i'm gonna do now jeff you're gonna make the what are you doing over there i am right now just uh making a cocktail version i got one big cube

in an old-fashioned glass i don't want a big one. I'm probably going to do like an ounce of each. Yeah. I wanted to shake myself a cocktail, but I was not prepared for such things. So I'm going to build mine in the glass and stir it around a little bit. I'm going to do mine a little different. I'm going to do one. How does this work? One part Campari to two parts Branca. Interesting, because I feel like the Branca was dominating. I think it

was, but I just don't really like Campari much, so I think I could maybe make this shot better for myself. The Branca is the Dom, and then the Campari is the sub. Is that what you're going to? So my parents are both Camparis. I was going to say Campari is the original drink that Mike said was ashy.

I remember there was one drink in the past that I announced was, uh, Milan put a little echo on this best use of Campari. I mean, it's gotta be a Negroni. No, I don't know. Did I like,

I don't know. I might not have liked it. You know, my fit, we haven't done it on the pod, but my favorite use of Campari is the jungle bird. The only Tiki. Yeah.

Honestly, I think it was that. I think it was, I saw that listed as like one of the drinks. I never heard it before. done it on the pod but my favorite use of campari is the jungle bird the the only tiki yeah honestly i think it was that i think it was i saw that listed as like one of the drinks i never heard it before i thought it said yellow bird i said oh yeah when we went to uh joe saunders wedding in santa barbara joe saunders that we rescued from a vat of acid yes because we owed him because he invited a trickster was after him um we went to i i love that tiki bar in the funk zone uh test pilot i believe and and they have i think we were drinking we were drinking uh the one we went to three three nights in a row yes because we were just like we'll keep going but they have a jungle bird on the menu and i believe we had a whole round of jungle birds

and they were great i love that place that place was place was so great. I love the Funk Zone. I love Test Pilot. The Funk Zone's the best. Also, I love the name, the Funk Zone. It's just such like, it's such an NPR, like, scene, and they're like, yeah, but come down now to the Funk Zone.

Every city in America has a little spot that used to be industrial, then was vacant, and now it's breweries or whatever. And to flat out call it the Funk Zone is so like the most uncool name i love it i had third i had first thought it was like it stood for something like

the we were at santa barbara so i don't know what i could even imagine it would be but if it was like those are uh letters an acronym i'm trying to say that's what i would call like they thought that the word for hipster was funk that's what i would call my like basement basement jam room at like 12 years old like the funk zone that reminds me of a couple years ago i went on a um one in a uh like a haunted trolley ride here in brooklyn with like uh nick and brett nick serralli and brad evans and uh who else was this martin urbano came there's some funny people and it was really funny because the like it was kind of on like the person would the person leading the tour would like talk for a while and like okay now watch this video and you'd hear like you'd see a picture of say uh Joan Rivers

and it's like a bad impression being like you know I was born in williamsburg and this is this was before all the coffee heads and fitbit users and fitbit kept coming up like a few times in this recording fitbits oh no we hate those it was a fun time but it wasn't like it wasn't like ghost stories a lot of it was like there's a theater back in the 1800s. A play was going on. It caught fire and all the doors were locked and everyone died. And here's where a plane crashed. I was like, well, is there any hauntings? They're like, well, this is just where all the people died.

These are real life bummers. Yeah, these were exactly real life bummers. It's like, I want to talk about, oh, at midnight on certain nights, you can see like a man in a bowler hat. Yeah, of course. Yes. on certain nights you can see like a man in a bowler hat yeah of course yes you know i did the uh the tragical history tour of la where you see like manson locations and stuff and i thought that was really fun so i've done a lot of bus tours i keep doing it and then i took the esoteric like the la noir tour of pasadena and they had all this cool shit because there's like

you know there was like a uh jack parsons was like a jpl scientist who was into the occult black magic orgies and stuff yes there's all this really cool stuff in pasadena and then they're like and here's sirhan sirhan's house and stuff like that and then eventually they stopped on a corner and they were like on this corner um a lady was uh murdered and we were like was she a hollywood starlet and they were like, on this corner, a lady was murdered by this guy. And we were like, was she a Hollywood starlet? And they were like, no. Did it tie into government politics?

I was like, no. No. And then we were just like, well, I don't want to just hear that a person was killed. I know. It's like that makes it like too realistic, too personal. That's where true crime just becomes true. Yes, true. That's true.

While I was stirring my Ferrari rocks, I looked up the Winona Lodge where I was conceived. And it's on Lake Saranac, home of the beer, which is probably why I'm such a booze hound. But it's not spelled Winona like you would think. It's W-E-N-o-n-o-a-h like the native american winona iroquois winona so so not winona rider no i wish or winona judge judd but any slop heads uh up in the saranac area go hang around the winona lodge and know that a guy who's pretty much your boy at this point was conceived there it's pretty much conceived there at this point nasty stuff my man okay i'm sipping it being cold is definitely different huh better of course way better better i wish it was colder

i wish i did more than just one big cube um i did a bunch of cubes and spun them and it's great i think uh maraschino cherry juice would be good in this oh mike you might you might be right about that i think so it's sort of got that blood red look at that oh yeah sort of like a uh for sort of like a ferrari testarossa yeah i'm still not tasting the campari i'm tasting the frenet but i am getting the on the back end i'm getting the bitterness from the back end, I'm getting the bitterness from the Campari. I don't love the bitterness. This thing that I did is basically just Fernet forward. You know, I think I do need a little more Fernet. I think this needs to be top of soda. Yeah. In fact, you guys keep talking. I'm going to, I'm going to go grab soda.

I'm going to, I just did another little splash of Fernet cause that's my preferred out of the two. That's my favorite Amaro. Between the two, it's funny that they all got it kind of get lumped in as being Amaris. Yes. They're quite different. Now, Jeff, I think that's pronounced, because I read this, I had to go back over this sentence a few times. It was like, they're both Amari. Right.

They're both Amari. I said Amaris, like a dumbass. Right. And you wouldn't, because I would have said Amaros. Yeah, Amaros. But it's like two Amaros are Amari. Two Amaros are Amari. I said Omari is like a dumbass. Right. And you wouldn't, cause I would have said Amaro's. Yeah. Amaro's. It's like two Amaro's are Omari. Two Amaro's are Omari.

Interesting. Hey, look at me with this tiny little Schweppeskin. Hey, guy looks like a huge giant. I wish I was a Mario brother named Luigi. Now why Luigi and not Mario? This is interesting.

Well, Luigi's tall. You see? When he jumps, he goes. Yeah, he can do that little thing. And also, you guys, you don't know what you have. Yeah, you know.

Until it's gone. You're six feet, each of you. Are you not? Mike's 5'11 and a half. I'm 5'11 and I'm very close. Well, I look up to the both of you. I'm down here at old 5'10, 5'10. On my best day, 5'10".

You're doing great. So I wish I had that height. I was always waiting for that college growth spurt, that second puberty. That second puberty, they'll always say what happens. I'm not looking at what's the average men's height. What do we think it is? I'm going to say 5'9". 5'10 on the money.

It's 5'9". I'm going to say 5'10". Oh, okay. I meant 5'10", but maybe a little. Oh, this is in America. Globally, 5'7.5". Wow. Jeff, you're tall. You're officially tall. Damn. We have a friend,

our friend Carl, who very tall guy, 6'5", 6'4". Carl Tart? No, no, no. Carl Filer. Carl Filer, yeah. Mr. Carl Filer. His wife is to say six five six four carl tart yeah no no no carl uh feiler carl feiler yeah mr carl feiler he uh his wife is japanese and he's been to japan before and he said it was just like he was a everyone looking at him like whoa this guy is huge godzilla situation they think i mean the term they use is kaiju over there for a guy like him really what's kaiju it's like a monster like

it's like godzilla's like a kaiju but like he like a monster. It's like Godzilla's like a kaiju. But he really was ducking into places and was like, wow, this is made for a smaller person. He turns around and his big tail knocks over glasses. But he was like, I was a celebrity then. The only time I really felt that was, have you ever been in a Mazda Miata? No. I know what you mean. My friend Gloria in high school drove a Mazda Miata and when I sat in it, just my whole body was hanging out. It fit me like a

pair of pants and then the whole top half of my body was flopping. It's a really small car. It's like a Hot Wheels. It's like when you get the Muppets or Fraggle toys from McDonald's and they're like half their body's sticking out of a radish that's a car. This is the way to go with soda guys on the rocks with soda now i'm now i'm tasting these these delicious amari and uh not slugging them down they're cold and they're

drinkable yeah cold's the way to go i added a little more fernet but you know i'm not going to tell you to do that i'm going to tell you to do what you like maybe you like a little more campari that suit it to taste is this much liquor this is 24 alcohol in the campari and i'm gonna say for net's not big right 39 yeah yeah 39 so this is a pretty pretty light drink although it is hitting me i don't know it's two liquors there's no no mixer it's funny because i i uh i think of campari as an aperitif and i think of fernet as a digestif so we're kind of meeting right in the middle dinner time baby it's preparing the stomach for food yet to come and food on its way out that's good it's doing the job of two men it's sort of a new sheriff in town you swallow this and it's sort of like you get men. It's sort of a new sheriff in town. You swallow this and it's sort of like you get over there.

Steak. You got to get in half. Oh, I wanted to, I wanted to tell you guys, go on Tim. I'm looking up another drink that I want. While you look that up,

I just wanted to make a little footnote that speaking of for net and the whole kitchen staff, I said, there's, there's an article that i haven't yet read that explains why frenet is a san francisco thing but we know it as a bartender the bartender's handshake and remember we covered the industry sour on the show which is like a sour made with frenet um contest winner essayist corrector neil campbell told me he was at a bar in LA called on Fonte and he had,

uh, he saw on the menu, they had a frenet cocktail and it was called the shift drink. So yet again, the restaurant, that's the one drink you work in the kitchen. You're allowed to have one drink at the bar at, uh,

during or after your shifts. I see. Interesting. I was looking up, uh, the Ferrari shot on difference guide, uh, but they did not have it. But they had something called the Flaming Ferrari. And it's got a lot of ingredients. I was like, what is this? I was looking through how to make it.

It says layer the first four ingredients by carefully pouring in order into a martini glass. In two shot glasses, pour the remaining two ingredients separately. I'm just not going to go through ingredients ingredients it's just a bunch of stuff ignite contents in martini glass give two long strokes to the drinker and instruct them to drink the contents of the martini glass in one go as they do slowly pour the contents of the two shot glasses into the flaming martini glass so i read that i was like what is this so if you look it up on tiktok or something it's like flaming martini glass. So I read that. I was like, what is this? So if you look it up on Tik TOK or something, it's like a martini glass with levels on it, liquor levels.

Somebody's drinking out with straw as that's happening. A bartender is like pouring the other two shots in it. So you're sucking up one as two or I, so I don't know what's going on, but that a lot of pressure on one. I like this though. I like, I like a little pageantry.

Something a little different. Yeah. It's funny. The garnish was, this is what got me to keep reading. Assistant to help the drinker consume the concoction. So that's who helps pour the thing. Although I think you could hold a straw in your mouth. Anyway.

But that would be a good one to do live. We'll do it live. At a bar to do live. We'll do it live at a bar. Fuck it. We'll do it live. Now I'd like to bring us right back around to our final thoughts on the Ferrari. Tim, why don't you kick us off? I love this. And as predicted, I like it more as a cocktail than a shot.

You know what? Guys right they're weird we still have to do the green tea shot the gen z phenomenon but oh yes remind me what's in that again because it's not green tea it's it's a whole bunch of stuff and sprite he had one in milwaukee it was good schnapps and perhaps uh hey we've never done had any midori drinks on the show that'll be fun well somebody in the somebody at one of the shows was like hey you should try a drink i made or i know about called the something relaxing on a lily pad and he had midori i just can't remember all the stuff because it was post showed he was telling me but uh i was like midori that was that must make it green he's like yep yep yeah i had a reanimator drink uh this halloween that it was just like a bunch of it was like green apple schnapps and madori so you're just combining all the neon green

shit and calling it the reanimator shot good though i think that if you're tim kelpakis i hate to say it but shots are kind of just tequila shots. Let's be honest. If someone says the word shots, I'm like, I think tequila shots. And then I'll do whiskey shots. I'll do a vodka shot if it's chilled. Tim, what about a little fireball? Yes.

I mean, we said we were going to talk about the tour. We never really did. But I would say thanks to everyone who brought us in Chicago. We did Malort shots on stage. Yeah. No thanks for that for me. I love them. Oh, we did a really sticky one. What was that?

It was like a pepperminty. Oh, Rumpelmints. Mint Ripple. Oh, they miss me with that one thank god oh mint ripples that was called i said rumple mints is that something i think i like the sweet shit when i mean when we're on stage especially and i'm like thank god you brought up something a little wimpy uh when it's sweet stuff well that's why fireball is the best i like fireball on stage but fireball is 80 proof it's deceptive no it's 66.6 is it not no that's the gas station version no

no no is this gas station version what is this let's see this is taylor's version come on stop i think the original is 66.6 and then the the weak the weak one is is weaker jeff you're completely right uh yes so in normal life tequila tequila shots are the only shots I really get amped for. And I also like the salt and the lime and all that shit. Even though one of our very good friend's girlfriend routinely orders vodka shots? Yes. And she should start chilling them for me. Yes.

But. Somebody brought up rum shots too, I think. That was funny. That was funny yeah that was funny we played the song tequila and we went rum when it was time if anyone was really listening they'd bring us a shot of gin rum um all this to say i like this ferrari shot but would I order it again? I think it's, I mean, maybe out at a bar, but it, to me, it's sort of a waste. I was never into taking for net as a shot. I know a lot of people do. I like to sip it.

I like it on the rocks. So when I have to take Campari and for net two fancy ass fucking things, you know, and to just shoot them down your gullet real fast. It kind of feels like a waste of these spirits. So do I like it? Yes. But I much prefer the cocktail version, especially with some soda and on the rocks.

And that to me is the one I will order again. That's fair. Fair. Michael, your thoughts, submit them. This is an order again for me and I like it as a shot because it's like

a lot of time when you do a shot it's kind of the communal like oh we took a shot of tequila and everyone's face is going it was bad. With this you kind of get the same vibe. It's like this isn't the most popular ingredient. These aren't the most popular ingredients for a lot of people.

You take a shot and it's like oh what was that? It like it's for that oh my god it's a fun uh community builder that is good and also with a shot you can get on with your day get your shot then you go pick up the kids from school you go i will say though the market true that these things and i froze my shot glass too. It was better cold. The second one was a little warmer and that was great. I didn't put the liquor in the freezer though because I figured with such low ABVs

it might expand and crack. Like that bottle of Dom Perignon champagne that I... But liquor doesn't freeze therefore it doesn't expand. You can put it in the... But that's why... But remember that time that champagne busted open?

Was that because it was... That's the carbonage, my man. Carbonage? And because it's less proof? Is that part of the... That's what I'm... Science? Right. Yeah. Beer and champagne can freeze. Yeah. Well, now it's time for my final thoughts, which is kind of like perfectly in the middle of the two of you.

The middle way, the Buddha would be proud. And he listens. I like it as a drink. I like to sit with it. I don't love Campari, but it's okay in this. It's not his best use of Campari. But yeah, I like to sit with it. The coldness makes it better.

So I would say, folks, definitely ice cubes. Maybe a little more Fernette, if that's your thing. And it's an order again through and through. Nice. Nice. That's our show. Follow us on social media at The Sloppy Boys where we release these recipes ahead of time.

Any slophead will tell you they've been fun. It's a little bit... It's getting weird how good these shows are. I will... I'm a modest man. Yeah. We're a very fun band to see and i felt like on this tour we've had people come up to us and kind of they're like no no you don't this was so fun i don't you

don't you don't know and i'm like i know i'm the one over there i was there motherfucker and then also it was so nice the amount of people who came up to us and were just like, I didn't know what this was, and I had a fucking blast. People who were like, I didn't know you were a podcast. I didn't know you were a band.

My friend told me that I needed to come see you, and I did. And man, it's just so nice knowing that this is, it's fun for us, but it also spreads the word, and it makes it all so much more sustainable. It's great. On that, knowing that like, this is a, it's fun for us, but it also spreads the word and it makes it all so much more sustainable. That's great. On the fun for us department, I felt we played four shows in the Midwest and we, all of them were unique to me

because everything, the show manages to go off the rails and in a different direction every night. Sometimes the gear doesn't work and it's funny. other times we're playing a weezer song for no reason other times like there's always shit that goes down i forgot about that that was like we put we fumfered our way through like four weezer songs yeah we that was in a haze because we had done two shows that night so we're like what was it i i like a lady in the audience said say it ain't so and i was like are she requesting this right well i think it was like we were trying to figure out a problem with mike's bass and then so you and i were like we're like vamping on weezer songs or something yeah there was a point i think at one of the milwaukee shows where we played a song and sometimes we'll do a little uh chit-chatting

between it was going for a long time it was like five ten minutes it's like okay we gotta play the song sometimes we do a little chit-chatting in between like it's not the entire business we do a whole podcast between songs like oh fuck um truly there's there's more talking than music in the show and but i think one of the highlights for me was definitely you know people on our first couple of shows where people were requesting yuppie man and mike the composer of the song was like i don't i don't know how to play it i forget how to play it so then uh we got dan padley who you know from the discord he's a listener of the show and happens to be a jazz guitar player mike pulled him up and

had him play i took bass and dan padley played guitar and we played yuppie man for the first time ever on stage and it went great it sounded fantastic great i jumped in the crowd i did some stage time mike with the crowd surfing oh man you're developing a taste for uh stage diving i like it it's fun i get in there with the people mike mike it suits you it suits you it does i like also how you're very combative like in milwaukee you're like this song might be the one where i fucking stage dive and you know what i'm gonna cannonball on you motherfuckers but in chicago you were crowd surfing and i didn't see it until some instagram videos later that as people were passing you around you you spit a a geyser of a sprayed beer up into the air. Expertly. Did you hear me right before I jumped in?

I said, here comes the whale boy. Yep. No, that was great. Cause if you did it perfectly, which is like a mist, nobody objects to a mist.

I wasn't going to, I wasn't going to be like, you get a little, you get a little beer mist on you. You go, ah, it's fine. It was in his mouth,

but to me, it felt like a celebration, some closure post COVID that here we are in a dive bar breathing each other's breath and now the singer of the band just spit beer on me now we're misting oh man all right but the shows are fun other than getting misted yeah folks come on now we love to see you live um get misted we love to see you live so immediately uh this weekend new york and rhode island next weekend pittsburgh philadelphia check our socials and we love to see you live so immediately this weekend New York and Rhode Island next weekend Pittsburgh Philadelphia
