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 joining us today, we have a special guest, very funny stand-up and official editor of the podcast. It's Milan Patel. What is up? This is an exciting, this is a, this is an exciting day.

We don't usually have staff on the show other than us. Yeah, it's exciting to be here. I feel two ways about this. It's exciting because I listen to the podcast, so it's very cool to be a guest, but also it feels a lot like an exit interview. The last time I was in a Zoom with three of my managers, it did not end well for me. Yeah, we're here to just tell you what we think of you. Yeah, we're here to just tell you what we think of you. Now you're dropping the ball. Here's what I think.

If you leave this job, the podcast stops. Okay? Oh, shoot. We need you, Mealy. We are done with this podcast because I know Jeff doesn't want to go back to it. No, I'm not going back. You're part of the extended family. In fact, you are the extended family. It begins and ends with you.

It's not extended, just family. This is the company right here. The LLC. Yeah. The buck stops here. It stops with the lowest level employee. You are listening to the sloppy boys, LLC employees all right here. Company meeting. We could, we could do, this is a shareholder's meeting. The all hands. It's funny that it would feel like, like that to you, like an accident. Because to me, like whenever I talk to somebody that edits me, I feel, I'm like embarrassed because one time when we did the birthday boy show on IFC, I stopped by the editing suite and I remember Daniel uh daniel hayworth

like a really good editor who did like tim and eric stuff and everything we were lucky to get him yeah and he did a great made like really great sketches on our show yeah like like whacking stuff into uh like structure and sense and comedy like yeah like really really really he was like oh i kind of already did uh a rough draft of all these we're like oh this is not even the episode yet well just so you guys know i don't do any of that for this you better start this is a learning lesson for you meeland please go ahead but well i daniel then i i stopped him like hey dan how's it going and he was like super nice nicest guy in the world cool guy but he was he was like i'm sorry i was like just editing a scene where you i forget what it was i was doing but i was like doing something in a scene that was very annoying to him and like

it was like a group conversation scene and he was having to cut around something or i kept blowing takes or something so he was like i'm kind of like annoyed at the week the version of you from two weeks ago doing a shitty job on on set but so when I talk to you, I'm always, I'm like, this guy knows my vocal mannerisms and my tics. This guy cuts out all my bullshit. Yep. And all my little foibles create work for him. Well, I mean, from an editor's perspective, you guys shouldn't care what we think. We're dorks and we work in like a dungeon, basically.

A sex dungeon? It's a kink yes yes it is i mean we also edit there but jesus your keyboard must be a mess uh the other thing we did with like the editors would would be like we'd watch the first draft of a of a sketch and and be like ah daniel let me see the takes of me oh my god i did that so much then you like watch the takes and it's like like dog shit dog shit dog shit they always pick i guess we did use the right one like don't second guess the guy who had to fucking trudge through all the bats that is humiliating when you make them go fishing and they're like no you sucked in every other like really the one where i said this like yeah that's the one we're using.

Like, oh, yeah. I thought in my brain I did it like a really good actor. But I didn't. Can I talk about the drink I'm drinking? Oh, sure. Yeah, it's not the drink of the day, is it? No. Okay, good.

No, yeah, I just made it. You're more familiar with the show than that. So I made it guys. It's, um, you know, order again. All right. Bye. Nice short episode. We, we, we continue on with the episode.

Like, okay, there you go. What are you drinking over there? Okay. So I'm drinking a non-alcoholic beer. I don't drink by the way. And, uh, you what? Hey, whoa, slow, slow down. No don't drink, by the way. You what? Slow down. Nah, we know.

We know, folks. Yeah, I don't know if I was supposed to say that, but Mike, you said that adds an interesting dynamic to the show that the editor doesn't drink. Listen to Mike, Mr. Producer. I had to put this because Milan was like, I really don't want to do the show, and I had to get on a side call with him.

I was like, come on, just get out. It's interesting to be the editor. The show doesn't drink. It got to come on. Mike, maybe don't tell the employees that they add an interesting layer without running it by me and Tim first. I was telling Tim that you add an interesting layer to the show. Definitely bring something to the show.

It's only you, Tim. I mean, the three of us. Mike just calls everyone dynamic. interesting later in the show definitely brings something to the show it's only you tim i mean the three of us mike just calls everyone dynamic he uses the same description for everyone doesn't know what that word means so i'm i'm drinking uh non-alcoholic beer and uh it's from best day brewing which is a pretty good non-alcoholic beer brand let's see it show it off yeah it's called the yuzu ginger shandy which is like i guess something new that they made for the summer and so i like bought it and i'm i'm showing you guys this because i want to warn people that it's bad and they shouldn't drink it good good good good good uh these guys make pretty good na beer but

um i got suckered into buying like the new one and i i don't think other people should fall prey is it like too juicy and lemonadey or what's going on with it it just sucks it just doesn't taste like any oh bad taste i don't have a good palate but it just doesn't taste like any of the stuff that it says it's like oh ginger it it just doesn't taste like any of the stuff that it says. It's like, ooh, ginger. It doesn't taste like ginger. And then yuzu. Not even yuzu? Well, maybe that's their thing, is that if they make fake beer, so then maybe their yuzu and ginger are also fake amalgamations.

Interesting. Just approximations of what they think. Approximations. Melan, I thought it was so fun that you came out to Tam O'Shanter to St. Pat's on St. Pat's with us. And I knew you didn't drink, but it was like, I you came out to tam o'shanter to st pats uh on st pats with us and i knew you didn't drink but it was like i remember just running my fucking mouth to you you gotta drink more you're really pressuring me i mean i forget like i had you in some verbal

headlock about like old video games and then i had to remind myself like oh yeah this guy is stone cold sober jeff why don't you leave me alone no that was that was good i think i might have brought that up actually so oh no it was a you were you were very articulate in that conversation thank you and thanks for saying so on the air there have been times uh at parties and stuff where this is back in the days when jeff and i would live together and we'd leave a party and the next day you'd be like oh yeah I was talking all night to whoever they're they want to get a stand-up cabinet too and they might want to get the same uh interface for the video games like oh that's where you were all night he's a dork found romance I feel like um on St. Patrick's, I was pretty cross-eyed by the time you arrived.

I remember saying hi to you, but I think I feel like I didn't talk to you because I knew I was too drunk to talk to you. I remember, Tim, you were holding pretty steady, but then I blacked out when you got on stage to play those bagpipes. I'm just playing all the instruments. It's crazy. Let him do it. He can do it. You're like, I'm in playing all the instruments It's crazy Let him do it He can do it You're like I'm in a band They're like Okay

Yeah A band apart Mike What is that a band Quentin Tarantino's Production company Yeah Yeah

Yeah Well did we get into Some booze news Booze news Hit it. We'll be right back. Italian suits, new tennis shoes Hot, hot, megawatt big screen TVs Big screen TVs, big screen TVs Target HD, not projection screen Big screen TVs, big screen TVs

Watch a hundred channels in the 2018s It's business, you stupendous slopheads. Kanger. Big, big mean TVs was sent to us by King Kang, the Kanger, Eric Kang. Called it. And if you have a Booze News theme, email it to thesloppyboyspodcast at gmail.com. That was a heavy metal version of our song, Big Screen TV. That's lifelong vacation. That was good i thought

i kind of thought it was going into a version of uh uh the dire straits brown and oh yeah it was very dire straits up top oh yeah yeah also probably what we were referencing yeah yeah it was um how did he extricate your vocals so good ai probably yeah it's ai now i was wondering if he was singing or like re-saying it or if that was you guys but that was pure tim the t-man but i wasn't hearing all of our normal i wasn't hearing the normal track in the back i think he yeah maybe ai yeah uh meeland you don't play instruments do you no i can't uh i played trumpet when i was in like the fifth grade and um that counts i was it was fun i enjoyed it i think first chair trumpet first chair jazz trumpet that counts third chair but close close to first third that's not so bad yeah there's only three of us to honestly

that's kind of humiliating that the chair system that you were yeah i think i was second chair trumpet but yeah the guy the guy in third chair was putting up no fight you'd think in high school they wouldn't bring in such rigid hierarchies into the arts yeah right especially into something like art and music like it's about expressing yourself not about what chair you sit in i remember with the trumpet there's like a spit valve and it was the grossest thing about playing maybe that's what turned me off from playing instruments music uh there's too much spit too much spit um okay i'm the editor-in-chief of booze news and i'm happy to say uh say today's top story is brought to us by you, Milan. Take it away.

Okay. So a few weeks back, it's probably several episodes ago, but Tim, I think you brought in a story about a company that was creating ocean wine. And I don't really remember the name of the company that you were talking about. Yes, it was a Japanese company that would take your bottles to the bottom of the ocean for a year and charge you 700 and then give them back to you right so and that was like a recent article that you found uh but i remember a year ago a little less than a year ago there was actually a california wine company in santa barbara who was doing that was doing the exact same thing oh perfect that's so much more convenient. Yeah. It's closer to you guys. But it was called Ocean Fathoms.

And the reason that it was in the news is because they got into like a ton of trouble with the Santa Barbara DA for like bad business practices for what they were doing. And so this isn't news, I guess, but it's like, I'll explain like the history of like why they got in trouble. No, you could do history on Booze News where this is like a special edition where there's history.

Yes. Booze News is like an area to learn something. Yeah. The famous booze of history. learn something yeah the famous booze of history so I think I like I brought a clip that'll kind of explain their business model and then I'll talk about what they did to get in trouble where it all went wrong all right yeah here we go hi I'm Todd Hahn and I'm a founder and owner and partner in Ocean Fathoms, the most disruptive, interesting wine brand in the world. They're all covered in barnacles.

My name is Emanuele Azzaretto. Look at these guys. I am an Italian. Scarves. I've been most of my life in East Africa, being a diver since I was a child. Every diver looks for a treasure in the ocean. We have a special patent process.

We manage to get the wine over without losing its vibrancy. No oxygen, no lights, no temperature change. It allows us to perfectly age the wine. He looks like George Harrison. They all look like pick-up artists. Giant saltwater bottle. You're getting a 10- year result in one year. So the lack of UV, the perfect temperature, the ocean vibrating the bottles, and the ionization creates a perfect environment to speed age the wine. I've never been so passionate about anything

in my whole life. On a professional side. Every one of these guys is so douchey. I can't wait for everybody to try it. He looks drunk. He does look drunk, but he's going to be able to get it. He's got his going out shirt on. Ooh, these guys.

So they're all weird in different ways. There's the Santa Barbara kind of like whatever California dude who is like one of the founders, and then there's the French diver, or I think they're Italian diver, and then there's like a French marketing guy, but they're all weird in and then there's like a french marketing guy but

they're all weird in different ways but none of them look trustworthy i think we can all agree yeah yeah yeah that was uh that that reminds me like you'd see these videos just like anyone doing like this is the or the uh we did a the seven brothers brewery uh sketch on the slot of the birthday boys which was taken from this type of thing which is like we're talking about this crappy product we have in a nice way with scarves on so so important nice pretentious way well also when they cut to the bottles and they're covered in like barnacles and like algae and let's be honest just like slime yeah like wow what a premium product. Wow.

There's so much slime on that bottle. I like how the one guy was like, it's no UV light down there. It's perfect temperature. The vibrations of the water. Oh yeah. Yeah. Good. Yeah.

The bottles are vibrating in the ocean. So that super ages of the wine. Okay. So to, to hit on the note of all the barnacles, one reason that they got in trouble is because when you put like bottles like that in the water, you're like creating all these ecosystems of like coral and like plant life. And then you're creating those over a year and then you just pull them out of

the ocean, which is not good for any of that plant life. And, and then on top of that, it's not safe for, it's not necessarily safe for consumption like it's not sanitary to drink out of those bottles so they got in trouble for that just because of their bottles or like that process at all yeah and they didn't just they

didn't go through any of the proper permits to even sell alcohol like they didn't get a license to sell alcohol uh they didn't have permission to put the bottles in u.s waters they just didn't do any of the forms i guess and then uh they were like charging people of in the state of california for like sales tax but then not paying taxes themselves um and so like for all these things in combination uh like the santa barbara da like charged them with a few felonies and they like pled to a few misdemeanors and they got in trouble and then uh they had to like the the fallout of it is they were forced to destroy over 2 000 bottles of this fake shipwreck wine yeah oh and and the funny thing is like they got these bottles from like wineries and it became pretty clear like the wineries didn't know that they were reselling

these bottles after putting them in the ocean so they didn't like tell the wineries like yeah we're gonna like resell your bottles uh after doing this oh like that's yeah yeah right because you're just selling their product it's like if you just like went to uh like a store and bought a bought a bunch of like hellman's mayonnaise well that's good because i mean they wait for enough barnacles and slime to cover the label and now it's their wine right you scrape it all off you know like yellowtail it's always funny when you you like an article like this comes out and it's you're talking about people are talking about it and it's just like one of these stories where they did this wrong and this wrong and then this guy whose brother was there he was doing this wrong too and everyone

and it's just like every single detail like how does he even get going at all it's a fucking fire fest situation mike pretty much it's a fire fest of shipwreck wine of the deep we all know that that industry of shipwreck wines well now fire fest this would be a good documentary actually like a fire fest documentary but we make one about these guys yeah it's like a feature film that we're acting in and we've scripted it we're playing these guys and i'm doing a French accent. Hey, I got the best of both worlds. You want a documentary? Tim, you want us to be in it? Go see Sloppy Boys documentary, Blood, Sweat, and Fears.

You forgot the name of it. How the Sloppy Boys made an album. In West Texas. Whoa, that is the best of both of our ideas. Yeah, the perfect combination. There you go, folks. folks damn that's awesome so the final like i guess cap for this story is that like uh from the articles that i've read where people research uh the science behind all this they've said that there's no proof that putting wine under the ocean is any different than putting it in a wine cellar because when he's

describing it he's like yeah it's uh dry and um there's no sunlight and it's like you mean like a wine cellar yeah when he said it's dark it's like i can think of quite a few ways for it to be dark and he's like it's the perfect temperature i'm like i know places where the it's the perfect temperature i thought maybe like the pressure of the water or something would yeah well the vibrations of the vibrations were brought up. Yeah. The ionization. Yeah.

Right. The ionization he mentioned. Yeah. The other day I had a glass of unionized wine. So bad. Nasty. Spit it out. Nasty.

Major nastiness. It's crazy that they say it ages the wine 10 years in the court over the course of one year, uh, which is like, it's apparently rotting down there and it's not fit for human consumption. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

Um, that's a good sales page there. It's a crock of shit, but like if you, that's a, a good thing to say to someone to impress them. Like, you know how a vintage wine is fancy.

Oh yeah. Like what if I could time travel your wine? You'd be like, Whoa, that's what we guys, that's the sloppy boys movie we build a time machine and we're aging people's wine for them faster but then i make out with my future self and he falls in love with me and it's a whole problem i guess and i make out with my future wife. Aww. And all this is happening one year later. And it's happening in Jeff's head and we have to, Jeff's like

at work, he's like, I can't do it man! Till first Tim is making out with second Tim. I would like to meet up with me from one year in the future and be like, anything different? And he's like, nah, not really. Get a few more episodes of the pod nice my brother let's talk about the pod actually i'll tell you what i listened back to i was

looking for something and i listened back to an old episode of our show from year one maybe like month three and we sounded younger like Like we had higher voices like, uh, Oh boy. Interesting. I was significantly less gravelly. And like Mike, I,

I felt like you were like, had a higher voice. You're like, hi. And what about your boy? Dots? Uh, you were holding it down.

Oh, nice. You had a Riz. Look at your riz. Thanks for bringing that in, Melan. Is that it for Booze News? Wait, don't wrap it up. I wanted to make a quick correction.

Okay. Oh, Campbell correction? Remember a couple weeks ago on Booze News, I brought in a food and wine article that said that the drinkest this summer was going to be the lemon drop? Yeah. And we all said, that's random, that's random.

And I said, yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot to mention one important part of the article was the reason for the lemon drop. They were crediting the mob wife aesthetic. You know, this is a fashion trend. Yeah. They all want to be Carmela. Exactly. Which is funny.

It's the female equivalent of like kind of why I eat a lot of mortadella is I watched the Sopranos during the pandemic and then I ate a lot of gobble ghoul and got tired of it moved on to but that's happening now that's weird but yeah so i think that there was sort of a tiktoky uh i mean it was like a fashion trend last year for sure and then i think that now it but to me i think you would order a martini not necessarily a lemon drop anyway i wanted to apologize for food and wine for not that at least it at least gave justification to like the batonga was a tiktok thing and the lemon drop is a is a fashion thing there's tends to be a reason it's associated with something happening in the real world yeah it wasn't just rendo damn okay well is that it for booze news wrap it up that's not it for booze

news i got something to tell you a couple ideas in me i was at a movie theater a couple this guy's spitting from the dome i was at a movie theater the other day yesterday the metrograph oh it's not booze news i go to the movie theater all the time wow this but this place had a bar sort of a nice craft cocktail bar go on and the movie's going i'm watching the departed on film what do you think of that oh that's cool that is it was pretty right it was pretty righteous uh we were laughing a lot at the movie it was it was kind of embarrassing there was a lot of embarrassing lines and stuff chop me up and feed me to the poor yeah yeah a lot of the accents were there and then gone in a flash it was a bit of a Houdini act, one would say. Anyway, I pop out and I need a quick drink

and I'm just kind of going, I got a popcorn, so I'm feeling salty. And I said, you know what, sir? Give me a ginger ale and gin. And he said, I've never heard of that before. Have you guys ever heard of that before? I feel like I've heard of it, but never. Now, Mike, do you normally take that kind of back talk from a movie theater bartender? What? Oh, I've never heard of that before i feel like i've heard of it but never now mike do you normally take that kind of back talk from a movie theater bartender what oh i've never heard of that before

oh very interesting i need to get back yeah geez give me your fucking life story ass mike it's i hope they call it a gin gin or oh wait gin gin mule i feel gin gin gin gin are canned or ginger candies gin gins it was great. Gin gins. It was great, though. It was, you know, a shot of gin and a ginger ale and then a lemon. I'm sorry, lime. Lime, lime. It was all separate? He put them all in the same glass with ice.

Okay. And he shook them, I believe. I believe he shook them. He gave me the rest of the can of the ginger ale. Nice. Was it Schweppes or Canada of the can of the ginger ale. Nice. Was it Schweppes or Canada Dry? It was Schweppes. Great.

It was Schweppes. Is that it for Booze News? No, I looked at Liquor.com. There is such thing as gin, gin, mule, but it's gin and ginger beer. So, Mike, you're in the clear. Nice. Now, the other thing I was going to bring up is I think I have I saw some fashion out there today and I picked up on some fashion cues. I think the fashion, the male fashion trend of the summer.

Big, long pants, jeans or khaki, khakis or whatever. Tight, white tank top. I've seen this, too. But you got to have the muscles for it. These fellas sure did. I saw them. So you're talking about this is the Mark Reier look it's the bottom heavy look yeah but it was like one guy had with like big kind of floppy jeans cutting the knees and stuff and then a big chunky like

kind of doc martin martin issue very 90s look very 90s uh 98 degrees let's say yeah i know fashion is obviously cyclical but it is funny how the cool way to dress is what i thought was super lame when i was in middle school or high school like everything that's popular now i'm like oh you we would have made fun of people for dressing like that kind of how old are you milan i'm 33 that, that, that tracks. Yeah. Now that was the age that Jesus passed away. Ooh. Yeah. But I'm still here.

So I'm better than him. Hey, nice. Hey, nice. I got a dingy on, on hitting the guy, but you got a great positive attitude toward yourself.

So I give you that. Also, I think you roasted him. You're a standup. So you roasted, you roasted him. We roast the ones I love. Yeah.

Cause I'm Christian. We roast the ones i love yeah because i'm christian so we roast the ones you love is that what happens at church people go there and roast jesus because they love him so much yeah in my church we do a roast of jesus christ every year and we we get a different person to be to sit in for jesus we like be like Jeff Ross. He's there. Yeah. Yeah. Big Christian. Speaking of fashion, Tim, Tim, we had ourselves a little sock check last night,

didn't we? Oh yeah. We, me, Jeff Mookie, all wearing white ankle socks. Huh? I said,

sock check. And I, cause I was looking around, I had to buy new socks the other day, but I didn't want to go full, like all the way up the calf crew socks. Yeah. You know, the way you see the zoomers were just like big ass white crew socks. I was like, I don't need all that, but I think we're all transitioning out of the little anklet socks and stuff like that. I just got myself a pack. I needed them. Well, cause Jeff,

you don't like, you don't like the ankle socks. The low, the no-shows are very not Jeff, because you said you don't like to look country club. And I think that's showing off your ankles is very country club. Used to do it. Used to do it. But I feel like the Zoomer kids and it's just not as cool. You got to have a little ankle now. I'm not a Zoomer kid.

I've been wearing these socks all along and I'm an elder millennial. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wear big high socks too, actually. You do the big highs? What do I like? What are you doing? I got high socks. I mean big high socks too, actually. You do the big highs? What do I like? What are you doing? I got high socks. I mean, I want one.

Let's see them. Prove it. How high? Well, right now I'm wearing Crocs. I got these like half ankle, you know, these, this is the size. Yeah, that's what I do. Oh yeah, I got higher ones than that even. Yeah, mine go higher.

Damn. But the no-shows, man, I like those, but I lose them sometimes down the toe. But then you do still see them. You see them everywhere because you can do anything with fashion. There's a scene for it. It's powderized. It's all game on right now. Powderized?

Yeah. The scene. There's not like one big scene anymore. It's all just like there's all these little scenes. You're right. You can do anything. You can dress as anything you want. Yeah.

I get freaked out, though, like, Mike, if I don't see the no shows i'm like did i put on socks today what else is down there you go back through run back through your whole day my fucking car keys are down there all right that's it for booze news that's that's all i have that's all i have i'm not asking right now i'm'm telling. That's it for business. Yeah. Yeah, baby. Woo. That sound effect that we heard sometimes you don't have and Milan has to put it in. Milan, is that pressure situation for you? No, it's a pretty big honor. Yeah.

I think Jeff, not all the time, but sometimes he'll ask me to put in the drop and. And they're always good. Thank you. Yeah. They're always nice. I think about them all week about what I me to put in the drop and uh and they're always good all right thank you yeah they're they're always nice i think about them all week about what i want to put in and because they link in they tie in thematically like one time we were talking about crime and then you played a clip from the wire and i was like i see what's happening here yes yes it's clear linkage linkage well i don't know i guess maybe i don't know if i'm allowed to say this but then like you

guys do react to it and it's always like it was always like a very generic like snicker yeah yeah a fake laugh hey don't expose this is too we know it all no this is good this is why we have you here everyone's getting a peek behind the curtain of what phonies well yeah whenever there's an end of booze news and then we just go, ah, anyway, now we look at the drink of the day. It's like clearly did not hear whatever just dropped. Jeff, I'm going to let you, I'm going to let you do your hosting duty, but I think we should do the drink. And then I want to talk to me a little about certain, uh,

this is more just remember we talked about this. I want you to tell us about things that we, you take out of ours all the time or something that you know is like, oh, Mike says this all the time. Tim says this all the time. Yeah, yeah. Or if you've had to take out any fucked up shit we said during the breaks. And the stuff I add in.

We should talk about the stuff. Yeah. It's usually you doing all three of our voices in most of the episodes. Yeah, I can do everybody's voice. You've been doing a thing recently where it'll end we'll play the last music and then right right before it ends your voice comes in low vote rfk i heard that why are you doing that i just i feel like i should be allowed are you you're definitely allowed are you are you pushing buttons or are you actually an rfk freak i'm a freak and uh it's it's my voice every time

i say it differently every time he's using his platform to shine a light on social issues and your issue is to that's his right vote vote for that guy all right yeah i love it all right well with that out of the way we turn our attention to the drink of the day ah yes the drink of the day. Ah, yes. The drink of the day. Brass monkey, that funky monkey. Brass monkey junkie, that funky monkey. The brass monkey you've had. Have not had. No, never had.

Yes. Meeland, you've had? I've had. Okay. I've not had. So you're the only one who's had. And this Meeland, you've had? I've had. Okay. I've not had, so you're the only one who's had, and this was your choice today. Tell us about your history with it and what made you want to bring it in today. I brought it in because it's easy to make, and I can do a non-alcoholic version of it because I drink non-alcoholic version of it cause I drink non-alcoholic beer and I

figured that would be an easy way for me to drink the same drink as you guys. That's great. Cause you're getting the taste. Yeah. I'll get the same taste. That's really smart. And the beer is like one of the only alcoholic drinks that they can, they do the best job of recreating the taste as opposed to like fake wine or fake liquor where you're like,

fake liquor is so weird to me. Like I've never it i guess but i think liquor is weird yeah i've heard like i'll i there's like this place called bill's lick liquor store on yeah glendale and it's a really good store but they have a lot of like seed beer what's that oh i know everybody has seed lip that's like the uh that's like the NA liquor that they're trying to sell. Yeah. That's what the person was telling me about. And, uh, I was like, why would I ever want that? Like just shitty taste without getting drunk. Who cares? But, um, I figured that for the brass monkey, that this would be easy. And also, uh, I was looking at mocktails, but I also feel like mocktails are always like super overpriced at restaurants and I just would never order one. I thought you suggested this one because it was very easy, like for us to make that. It would be like, oh, since I'm not drinking, you'll do this.

But I didn't think of the beer element of it. Yeah. Yeah. I wanted to be able to taste like kind of the same thing. Yeah. But here we're here we're getting into some sticky territory because, Tim, if you'd only kept reading. Oh, Tim, if you'd only kept reading. Kept reading what? You put your left leg down, your right leg up, tilt your head back, let's finish the cup. Interesting. That's what I'm getting at here, Jeff, is I bet nobody knew that that Beastie Boys song is not about this drink.

There was, back in the day, Brass Monkey was a brand of pre-packaged bottled and canned cocktails. I got a feeling they got a really cool logo. I got to look this up. Um, it's a good looking, uh, logo. It's,

um, it was like a cheap, a very sweet drink that you buy at a liquor store. Um, and Mike D has said in interviews that they love that stuff. And, and they were, it's weird because the song even mentions a 40 elsewhere.

Um, yeah, you're right. Oh, interesting. Which, which is very confusing. And then,

so I went looking, I was like, that's fascinating that the song is not about the thing that we all think when you said Brass Monkey, every one of us thought a 40 malt liquor or something with, with, uh, OJ in it. Not only is it not song, not about it. When I was Googling there's, there's an old cocktail called the Brass Monkey. It's like vodka, rum, and OJ kind of like a, like a, like a, like a screwdriver, but weird orange whip I was googling there's there's an old cocktail called the brass monkey it's like vodka rum and oj kind of like a like a like a like a screwdriver but weird orange whip minus the cream I guess um oh yeah screwdriver with with a little bit of rum in there and so I found a lot of results for that and I saw some articles uh about the the canned cocktail from the Beastie boy song there is this version that we all know that we all think of that uh is it's we just know it from like oral tradition because it's like barely on the internet

whatsoever it's pretty crazy interesting i clicked and clicked and clicked you think there'd be like a subculture of this type of of like quick and easy to make drink uh like drink i know and it's it's just weird that i feel like anything you've heard of in real life then you go to the internet and and there's a lot about it but i had to like scroll and scroll and i found two like two mentions of this on the other than like message boards and reddit and stuff where it was just people talking about i only found like two websites i'm also surprised that like nostalgia hasn't brought back this version that we're talking about like in the age of the spaghet and in the age of like all the the gonster you know all these weird things and also just beastie boys nostalgia like i feel like we've had many occurrences of

like beastie boys nostalgia and and the fact that this version of the Brass Monkey hasn't had like a comeback is weird. Um, there, um, later on, they worked with this producer, Money Mark, who,

who made a really late, who then went on to make a good album called, uh, the Sonic Ranch. Oh, interesting. Oh, anyway,

I, I, I, yeah, I think people are drinking sidewalk slammers. People have nostalgia. It's very weird to me that this is not all over the net. That's what I mean.

I thought like a sidewalk slam or a brass monkey and even our Pobo Nono is like, I thought there would be a whole subset of like, these are the nutcracker, like the walk around drinks. Right. Everyone is doing like Corona, Corona coladas and Spaghetti. Oh, I had one of those. Where? In my kitchen.

Oh. Did you have Coco Lopez? What did you pour in there? I did use Coco Lopez because I couldn't find Coco Real in the big plastic jug. I used Coco Lopez and then um you know what the fuck else rum and stuff but they sneak up on you because it's like two ounces of rum you're putting into a beer so you're adding to it you have two of those and it's like i was like i gotta fucking dial it down but um those are good and we should do them on the pod this summer oh that's good and we're

there's a lot of talk about that and it's different variations on instagram uh definitely contender i'll say right now next week we're doing the the was it corona colada next week works for me yeah fine i was gonna say maybe maybe it's not as popular because people are less interested in beer now but i guess if you guys this corona drink that you guys are talking about maybe if that's popular maybe i'm wrong well and then but then people are extra not interested in malt liquor 40s like that has very much gone out of style although there was a brand of malt liquor 40 in the 80s called saint ides and i saw that they're kind of back now as a thc drink

interesting and it's a cool looking retro cam i'll say that also like my real history the first time i ever had one of these was uh there's like a bar in seattle uh my friend took me to and uh they were kind of like trying to bring this drink back i guess this was maybe like six years ago or seven years ago but they were trying to bring it back and like they would have little bottles of mickeys it didn't work it was not successful their effort it was just that one bar and they couldn't get it off the ground oh little mickeys though the little grenades little bottle mickeys you like take a sip and then they would put the oj in there for you mickeys is great because they've got those big big wide yeah with the barrel with a b on top there's a old

english just a little tiny guy uh but yeah tim i you're just saying there a real quick about like how you there's no uh evidence of it on the internet like you're talking about this uh beers have gone out stop but you would still go online and i'm sure you'd see a billion sites that are like the ipa guys and whatever right yeah the fact that it's just like not anywhere on the internet is so strange to me it's very odd um it's what it's one of those mysteries of the universe i guess okay well so just the one that i said the the of the very paltry few links that i found there was a website called um bar none drinks.com and i was like this looks like a cocktail website so i'm using their uh their recipe which is one bottle of oj aka joie de l'orange uh 140 of old english malt liquor

um they say take a nice cold 40 of old english 800, Old English 800, and gulp it down to the top of the label. Okay, top of the label, guys. Pour in the orange juice until the bottle's full, shake or turn over, then gulp. You don't want to let this get warm, trust me. Best part of this drink is the total cost is really low, and the Old English still has the small mouth bottles built for chugging. Small mouth? We just chugging small mouth we just said we like big mouth okay i don't really trust barton drinks that much but no mickey's is the big bob oh he's gonna be the little tiny guy i know but why is he saying

that the small is good is a good thing why is that a good thing oh either way this is what they say and this is what i picture old old english with oj but it's a it's you beer works it doesn't have to be a 40 if you're having if you're having beer and oj that's a that's a brass monkey as well um i i feel like i'm gonna look up in the in the break here there was something i saw about just like that name brass monkey it's like a nautical term or something like that uh and that that's why there's multiple things that use the name. That'll be a Google during the break for me. That's good, Tim.

Just grab the listener by the nuts. He's going to Google nautical terms. So we're keeping it in the, Tim, you just take a sip and then dump the uh orange juice in the um guys i already googled it it's a phrase that means extremely cold cold enough to free this frees the balls off a brass monkey so jokey um but we're putting in the old english yeah i'm gonna get my oj and my 40 i'm gonna do it live on the live pour oh that's good i'm gonna because i have to drink it all the way down to the label. So,

all right, folks, we're going to go make these brass monkeys. And when we come back for sips, brass monkeys in hand. Let's see them. I couldn't find Old English, so I have a Mickey's 40. Oh, I'm glad you went Mickey's.

Ooh, mealing with the Bud Zero. Bud Zero. Ooh, that's a good looking bottle. Yeah. Yeah, it's cool. Mike, I'm glad you found the original OE. I got the orig, baby. What a classic looking 40.

Kind of a weird, it's a weird shape. It's like a big cylinder and then just goes point right to the top. I looked all over for the old English and what did I find? My options. You can see why I went with the high life steel reserve, hurricane, natural ice,

Mickey's. And that's it. High Life. So I wanted to enjoy my drink. Is Pabst technically a 40? I mean, I know it comes in 40s, but I don't know if that's malt liquor. Never seen it as a 40. Pabst is beer, but when we defined malt liquor on the Sidewalk Slammer episode, it's weird.

It almost feels like malt liquor is just like beer that didn't meet a certain beer qualification. Because I'm drinking this Mickey's right now, and it is ice cold, delicious, just tastes like the lightest light beer. And I would never know that it's not beer. And there's a distinction with cerveza, too. It's like cerveza's not beer. It's different. Oh. But we're not a beer podcast. We're a cocktail podcast, Milos. We don't need to know that stuff. Cerveza's not beer. I didn't know

that. Or it's a distinction within. So should I drink it down to just where the neck stops having a curve? That's what I was thinking. Yeah. I always thought that was kind of the distinction. Because my label is riding kind of low, and I don't want to have that much oh jim's got that low label dude i got mickey's low label that jenko label i'm still i'm still drinking mine down to the thing but

this taste i mean this was early on in my drinking days old englishes were the 40s in general just easy to move yeah to get into move but uh i i feel like this taste i'm tasting is like i've thrown up this beer a lot um when did you first start having 40s i remember like colt 45 was big high school yeah colt 45 high school colt 45 um with the billy d williams commercials and i remember having like 40s parties in college. They were easy to move. Did you do 40 hands? I never did 40s hands. I don't think I've ever really done it, no.

Oh, we talked about, we've got to do it on the show and do it with Betsy Sedaro, because she loves doing that. We've been trying to figure that out. You'll need like a spotter though, right? Because you'll need somebody to tape everyone's hands. You just volunteered. No, I'm going to show up with my hands already taped together. How did you drive here? Not easy, man.

It wasn't. Yeah. All right. Sips, sips. I'm still just drinking my. Well, oh, wait. You guys are just still prepping it down. Now, Milan, can I ask what, have you never, have you ever drunk alcohol?

Yeah, I used to drink. I quit like a year ago. I think a little over a year ago. Okay. I'll let you talk as much as you want about it or nothing at all. I won't ask any questions. I would love if you grilled me. I really want to be grilled about it.

Please grill me. Please. I love me. We grill the ones we love. I really want to be grilled about it. Please grill me. Please. I love being grilled. We grill the ones we love. No, I just, yeah, I used to drink quite a bit, but it just wasn't working for me anymore, so I quit drinking. Did you ever consider monetizing your drinking?

I should have. That's the route that I should have gone is drink more and started a movie, made a movie. Now, what about, what about a... Was it a health thing, or was it like a... Again, the reason I'm saying you don't have to tell me is because I don't want you to be like, yeah, I ruined my best friend's wedding.

The movie, My Best Friend's Wedding. The DVD was all scratched. I was watching My Best Friend's Wedding with my best friend, and I was so drunk that I ruined it. Yeah, no, it was just like I just drank too much, and it wasn't good for me. So it wasn't working for my life, I guess.

So I couldn't drink it. So I guess I'm sober from alcohol. Right on. A lot of our listeners are sober, by the way. Shout out to the sober listeners. Oh, cool. A lot of our listeners are sober, by the way. Shout out to the sober listeners. Oh, cool. And all of our editors.

I like, I like, uh, when people tell me that they listen to the podcast and don't drink because it makes me feel like they, they just like the, the people. Like there's,

there's something more there than just your drinks. Yeah. They're enjoying the the interplay the interplay between us or the dynamics or something well they better because we're always like 40 fucking minutes into the podcast before we've made the drink so if they're just here and then we're bad at reviewing i think that's i think that's i think that's i like that i'm fine with it too i'm just saying saying the listeners like, they like us for us. They like us for us.

Not just because we drink the podcast cocktail. I'm ready to pour. Sips. That works syllabically. Okay. I'm ready to pour. Sips. Here we go.

She likes me for me. Okay. Tropicana plus high life. That's pretty good i like this yeah you know this is reminding me was that there was a recent viral video of the bromosa there was a beer with oj and vodka this but this is this is kind of bromosa, there was another thing that came around. Oh, the NASCAR Spritz, which is just a spaghet that people were trying to name something else and it immediately got swatted down. What was it called, Jeff?

People were calling a spaghet a NASCAR Spritz. Oh, yeah. It's way worse. Luckily, people intervened and were like, it's already a spaghet. It's already a spaghet already a spaghetti stop it uh intercepted i think yeah the first time i heard about this just combination somebody called it a man mosa and then i was like i'm never going to drink this

so wait wait wait adam carolla has something man most no he he has man Greer man shows yeah and the man show man Greer man Greer why is every put man and everything man which man Greer oh yeah we put fucking boy and everything

well man well it's man it's man which because originally it was woman which so then man which is like the version for dudes right i thought a man which was a warlock mike you stopped that right now i liked it i'm getting into fantasy malan cut that out you cut that line okay i'm getting into fantasy stuff and mike i say go nuts with it i say double down this is funny that you're in an episode that you're gonna cut how do we know you're not gonna make yourself look good and you're in an episode that you're going to cut. How do we know you're not going to make yourself look good? I will.

You're going to cut out all my funny shit, and you're going to leave all your good shit, and I'm fucked. It's just going to be a really bad episode. It'll be like me making a joke that I added in later, and then it's a silence. It's like your voice is recorded very differently. Like, I don't know about this. What you can hear is just your stand-up clips from your stand-up and then it's me laughing over

like that's definitely you at flappers in burbank it's all recorded at flappers yeah do you have any shows coming up oh we'll save that should we save that to the end you know he does you know he has shows coming up yeah let me uh maybe we'll do it at the end because i'll have to look up if I do. Sure, sure. But just in general, are you doing shows around town in LA? Yeah, I have a show on like at the yard this Sunday. Nice.

So I do like whatever small shows that people ask me to do. But don't you, you host a regular show, right? Like a monthly? Oh yeah, I'm not, I'm not doing it that anymore. Oh shit. Damn. You quit drinking and you quit doing that show you're turned over a new leaf my two vices doing that show guys i was doing that show too much i was waking up in the morning and doing that show oh you mean like the after party afterwards you'd stay out late not exactly not really it was every month this is way too much man i'd go home man i'd start booking the next shows right away my family didn't recognize me oh meeland you also do a fair bit of animation where'd you start doing

that i did that during covid uh oh i had a my roommate was doing it and he kind of showed me how to do it on my iPad. And, uh, then I just started kind of figuring out how to do it, uh, on my iPad and other, like on my computer. And, uh, that's sick. Yeah, it was really, it's really fun. Um, it's easy to get sucked into it. It's just takes forever. So what app do you use? Um, I started with procreate, uh, back when back when i first started uh which is more for like illustration but you can also do really basic animation and then now i i use blender which is like a 3d software but it also you can do 2d stuff it's cool to take you know lockdown as an opportunity to learn a skill that's very admirable yeah it was it was I'm glad I'm glad I did it because it's it's a cool thing to know how to do.

Is it you're on a like a tablet with my tablet with like one of those pens? They. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. I've never used one of those, but I've seen like tutorials online of people drawing, you know, like sketching on one of those things. It's like, whoa, you can, you can do so much stuff. And like, you know, you get to animate to your own bits, like, you know, rather than every other standup clip you've ever seen, you, you got like cool, you know, reality breaking animation. Yeah. Yeah. It makes, it does like add like a fun element to it, but, uh, yeah, it just definitely takes forever to make. And then you like post it on Instagram and it doesn't have like a human face. So like the AI or like can't detect a face.

So it'll be like, no one's going to see this. Yeah. Everything we've ever posted is like a back breaking effort. And it's like, cool. 400 likes. Yeah. I saw an AI thing today online. um i saw an ai thing today online it was the initial shot for the first second or two was like uh the uh stop making sense music uh concert footage and as it just as it going like the

david byrne character was like shifting and like into other people and you watch those things and you're just like it takes me a second to realize like a, what I'm watching and B that it's not a real thing. And that I'm not like losing my mind for a second. It's so, it's so strange looking. I hate it. The morphing,

the morphing, the, the sort of like a first pass of an AI, something where you see people like kind of move. And I don't, it's, it's interesting to me people like kind of moving i don't it's it's interesting to me you know it's the it's the uncanny valley that's what you're having trouble with yeah that's true you guys like uh ai art wouldn't you like have you guys ever seen a piece of ai art where you were like this is pretty good i was just gonna say i think if i

learned more like every time i learned something about like painting and then I go see a painting in a museum, like, oh, cool there. I can see the paint strokes and I can see how it's done a little bit with AI. It's so I have no idea how it's made. So I can't really. But you can you know when you see it, right? Right. But I can't look at it. I want to be able to look at it and be like, oh, I can see how they controlled the computer to make this image. Like that's a cool part of uh sculpture

and like art to me is seeing or thinking about how it was made yeah and with ai since i have no idea how it's made i can't think about it you don't like you don't like thinking of a computer just putting ones and zeros together but even that like i i get ones and zeros but i don't know how it like thinks of the next thing that computer was up all night toiling ones and zeros, but I don't know how it thinks of the next thing. Mike, that computer was up all night toiling ones and zeros, ones and zeros, getting inspired, going out into the world, meeting people, and reflecting it back. I want that computer to not work so hard and enjoy his time off.

That's fair. I was thinking about a joke for stand-up recently, and I wrote down a couple notes, and then I was like, I wonder what the meta AI would give me. So I typed in the premise that I wanted, joke for stand-up uh recently and uh i like wrote down a couple notes and then i was like i wonder what the meta ai would give me so i typed in like the premise that i wanted and it came up with like kind of a better version of what i was thinking oh that burns oh damn it was sad um so i'll never use that again i didn't really so i'm always ignoring the meta thing that pops up on so

that's basically just like a chat gpt that happens to be on instagram yeah but it's for images too so it's like mid journey or whatever right don't they make images uh maybe i've only used the chat i don't know i i asked i was trying to search for uh somebody's name like a slophead who sent us a booze news article and when i typed it in to the to the like message bar i accidentally asked meta and it was like i don't actually know anyone with that name but here's the the lineage of that the etymology of that last name oh perfect but here's a new joke for meal and patel says i wrote it yeah i wonder if if like you know you've got a comedian with, let's say somebody like who's got a distinct style, like, uh, me. Yeah.

Like a standup. Hedberg. Hedberg. Let me think. Somebody who's still alive. Say, say it's a Jerry Seinfeld. And he's like, Oh, I got to put together another special. Hey, AI, write me an hour of Jerry Seinfeld sounding jokes. Yeah. I bet he would. I bet he could take that and do it because he's so he or somebody like that is so well known that their style could be just,

it's all been scanned. It's all been scanned in. It's the, it's the followup questions that help you dial in and think like I hadn't used AI to write anything ever. And, and I like on like a real show, like Digman,

I I've never done that. Cause I don't even want to like open up that. I bet I could write an episode of rip Digman, like stories that just as good as me, but I was, I was working on some dumb little side gig and I used it. You know what, Tim,

the computers didn't March all didn't, didn't pick it all summer. They were out there picking it all summer union strong baby there's one computer out there i got a degree i want to use it i was i i was asking it like uh but hey uh uh you know like you'd be like hey where are some things like this and then it's shoots them out and they're not right. But you're like, no, no,

no, no, no, no. Like more like this. And then it's like, cause it's closer. You're like,

no, no, no, no. Like that. Like stop doing that and do this. And after five rounds of that, it's writing exactly what you want.

No, you idiot. So even like telling it what to do like that. I don't even know that stuff. I've never been on a chat GPT. So like, say you want to write a joke. Yeah. Or you what to do like that i don't even know that step i've never been on a chat gpt so like say you want to write a joke yeah or you want to like what what would you type in to begin with write me a joke in a style of mitch headberg or whatever and you talk to it like that like write me this you talk to it as casual yo what up uh chat oh dude how's it hanging i was i was using it to you still good i'm pitching i have a pitch

and i'm pitching a tv show and i update it i try to keep it topical so like i pitched to one network and then three days pass and i want to make sure that i have like my pitch is more updated when i go to the next network so in the morning before the pitch i'll be like hey what's happening in news that's like this and and it'll say this is what this and I'll be like, Hey, what's happening in the news? That's like this. And, and it'll say, this is what this, and I'll be like,

no, no, no, no. Like, I don't mean like political news. I mean like a pop culture news. And it's like,

sorry, Tim, I didn't know. You barely gave me any prompts. There's more, uh, advanced AI available to like beta users and people who pay. No,

I'm an alpha user. Oh, you're a power user yeah i'm an alpha dog like here i just fired up chat gbz and and i got version 40 here people are excited about like do you want to ask it to write a joke or something oh okay uh yeah give me a little prompt here how about a uh joke about eating a hamburger in a restaurant a little more specific or like in the style of somebody or like do you have something that like you're you're trying to crack for your shows yeah it's this hamburger joke i need to comment on this shit you've been up all night i can't get it i wonder if you like give it like the kernel of an

observation if it might actually come up with something mike you gotta stop saving a slot as your closer that's about a hamburger but you don't have a joke yet something about a hamburger something about those fucking things man it's the patty it's the bun there's something there man all right write me a joke about eating a hamburger in the style of yeah mitch hedberg do that that's funny um you know and it'll be one of those things where like i don't know mitch hedberg but here's a Write me a joke about eating a hamburger. In the style of, yeah, Mitch Hedberg. Do that. That's funny. You know, and it'll be one of those things where like, I don't know Mitch Hedberg, but here's a joke. How about Richard Lewis? Okay.

No, actually. He's been making me laugh lately on Curb. Looks like we are hitting on Mitch Hedberg. I was eating a hamburger the other day and I thought, why do we call it a hamburger if it's made of beef? Shouldn't it be called a cow burger? But then I thought, who am I to question this? I'm just a guy eating a cow between two slices of bread pondering the mysteries of life all right i see what like

how that's mid mitch headberg but it's like it probably is going off things like mitch headberg simply ponders the things of life right yeah well it's funny though but but that's why for writing though take that and you punch that you know like if you're writing comedy you look at that and you're like i'm gonna write 10 better punch lines for this but it just did a whole lot of work for you right it's like a word salad generator that you can be like no no no and so then what would you for those of you guys who have used this before then what would you say to this like i would say more irreverent but more scathing yeah make it dirt like you you could do words like that that's that's nuts i'll even write make it dirtier just that make it dirtier yeah okay it's at uh same same beginning and then cock i was eating the hamburger the other day and i

thought why do we call it a hamburger if it's made of beef shouldn't it be called a cow burger but then i realized if i keep questioning, I'll never get to the important part. Colon. How I ended up in this position alone in my apartment covered in ketchup, feeling more like the meat than the bun. Okay. Does Hedberg have a, I should stop questioning things because I'm, look at me. Yeah, right. I feel like I know all his jokes. have a i i should stop questioning things because i'm look at me the i don't know yeah right i feel like i know all those jokes um i we've probably done this and i'm sure people have done this and

and people have sent this to me but jeff why don't you have a radio sloppy boy song say oh write a sloppy boy song about the brass monkey drink oh yeah write a. In the style of Mitch Hedberg. How about the brass monkey drink? Oh, yeah. In the style of. The style of the sloppy boys. The cars. Oh, the sloppy boys.

In the style of the beastly boys. That'd be so. Neil, is that a mirror behind you or is that a doorway? Yeah, it's a mirror. Mirror, I thought. Okay. Yeah. And I'm looking at a chessboard. Oh, my God. Yeah. And look at this. You got a chess board.

Oh, my God. Okay, here we go. It's a big chess board. Yeah. Verse one. I'm out on the town. Feeling kind of funky. Looking for a drink.

Not just any old junkie. I need something fresh. Something real spunky. Bartender hook me up with that brass monkey. Pre-chorus. Orange juice, vodka, and a splash of rum. Mixing it up. Man, this real spunky. Bartender hook me up with that brass monkey. Pre-chorus. Orange juice, vodka, and a splash of rum. Mixing it up. Man, this party's begun.

Feeling the vibe. Yeah, I'm on the brink. Gonna get loose with my favorite drink. Chorus. Brass monkey, that funky monkey. Getting tipsy, feeling frisky. Let's get chunky. Brass monkey, that funky monkey.

Dance floor's calling, and I'm all in feeling lucky so wait i'm curious how much of this is just writing a song how much it knows the sloppy boys i haven't read a sloppy boy song with no say like write a sloppy boy song because because that could be anyone's song about a brass monkey i think like this is where we get into like normal chat gpt doesn't have access to like all the knowledge of the internet. So what may, I think we should do a bigger celebrity, a bigger, like,

like YouTube. No, no, let's start. Let's try us first because I want to have my ego flattered. We suck. We've done this before and it sucks. I want to see if it knows how,

if it knows us, you mean you too. I'll say write a song in the style of Los Feliz party rock band, the sloppy blues. Oh yeah. Try to nudge it along here. Getting back to the drink. I just ruined a 40 with this orange juice.

I don't like it. What are you talking about? You put in vitamin C, Mike. I mean, it's drinkable, but I was having a good time with that regular beer in there before see this is why i didn't get the mickeys though i see remember when we did the

sidewalk slammer i thought the mickeys was fucking gross so tim i admire you for yeah picking that well you know the recipe from barn on drinks said don't let this get warm trust me it's true that when this was super ice cold i was like that great. And now it has gained three degrees and I'm already losing interest in it. We need one of those like champagne bottle ice. I have one of those. Yeah, that'd be perfect. Champagne bottle. I have like a big crock, like a, like a marble cylinder in the freezer.

Ooh. I wonder if they make big beer koozies for forties. For forties. Yeah. They better. All right. Here's the song. Same deal, kind of. We're hitting up the town, looking for some action,

cruising down the boulevard where a chain reaction. Got the boys all geared up. It's time to make a scene. Gonna paint the city red, if you know what I mean. Flip flops on our feet, shades on our eyes, party in our hearts, no need for disguise. The sloppy boys are here let's crank up the sound we're the kings of the night and we're taking the crown um we're the

sloppy boys bringing the noise turning up the heat with our party poise how long of a song did it give you to give you like a whole song sloppy boys were rocking the block living life loud never gonna stop uh three verses with like a bridge but did it did it do all this just from were you saying party rock or or do you is it i want to know if it's if it's finding stuff about us they don't because i've tried to have this like help me write resumes and it like can't find me it like maybe vaguely knows yeah but but the sloppy boys we got like our lyrics are on genius.com and stuff no i wonder because like they are hitting on stuff like out on the town and. Yeah, it seems like it thinks we're the Beastie Boys. Ask it.

Ask it. Who are the Sloppy Boys? Who are the Beastie Boys? That's funny because it like had keywords like party and out of the town and stuff. But then like we're out in our disguise. It's like just kind of now doing like music rhymes rather than what we shit okay who are the sloppy boys the sloppy boys are a comedy rock band formed by three members of comedy group the birthday boys mike hamford jeff dutton tim kelpakis known for their humorous and

irreverent lyrics the band combines elements of rock and party anthems with a comedic twist they've released several albums gaining a following for the unique style that blends music and comedy. Gaining a following, I like that. Wow. It's a groovement. How big of a following? Ascend, expand, ascend, conquer, retain.

It should be, retain is the last one. Retain. And continue to hold. That should be, these songs should be better. It knows more about us than those songs were displaying. How dare you chat a GGB? I had an embarrassing moment where everybody uses this shit all the time. All the time.

You could just assume this is what everyone is using for their jobs. And my agent. Never touched it once in my life. Okay. for their jobs and my agent never touched it once in my life okay my agent's assistant was like hey tim like uh we we updated your bio i wrote up this new bio for you what do you think and i looked and it was like this beautiful bio and i wrote back an email being like that's so good like thank you so much you did such a great job and as soon as i hit send i was like oh it's fucking ai like there's no way that she like put any time in the writing of my bio.

Because that's all on IMDB. Is anyone doing anything these days? Nobody wants to work anymore. That's what we land on in our Brass Monkey episode. Nobody wants to work. Nobody wants to work anymore. Milan, how's the NA? BM.

I like it. Maybe because I'm drinking a smaller bottle. I don't know the science behind it, but it's pretty cold. What kind of beer did you get there? Bud Zero. Yes, Budweiser Zero. I usually get Heineken Zero because I know they're good, but this one was cheaper.

There's only one pack left. And I have that weird psychology where if I'm at the grocery store and there's like one of something left, I just assume it's like the best thing. Yeah. It's the most sought after. Very nice. But I think the reality is like nobody buys these, so they just don't restock them. It's just the only one they have. Yeah, it's the only one they have.

The stock person's lunch is happening now is what I usually think. Yeah. But it's the only one the stock person's lunch is happening now is what i usually think yeah um but it's good yeah it's it's uh i like that i like that budweiser that na budweiser label it's got yeah it almost feels like damn you wasted a good label on a beer that not a lot of people are gonna see yeah no it's good it's cool it looks like it looks like a sketch neil and how's that compared to like your uh heineken zero zeros i took a sip of it like before obviously before i put the oj and it was really good it was very like light and crisp um it has less calories than the heineken nice as well so and it's cheaper if anybody damn cares about that don't, I've got a lot of podcast money rolling in. I don't really care about money anymore. Are there any NA beers that you're, that are like the, the like step up for, you know,

like if I'm eating, if I'm at a regular bar, I'll get a Budweiser. If I'm at a nice beer bar, I'll get like an IPA. Is there like a step up in the na world yeah well i don't know i forget what the brand was that i was drinking was like best day brewing and then there's like athletic i think uh i see that one i think that people like that athletic one it's called athletic yeah it's called like athletic and then they have different styles they'll have like uh whatever lager and ipa and like yeah sometimes if i'm out uh i'll get an ipa just because it's different and i feel stupid paying seven dollars

for just like an na beer in the first place but i guess if it's in like an ipa then you know it's at least like got some flavor you know what i like have you had a lagunitas it's not a beer but lagunitas hoppy refresher yeah those rule i really like those that's so good It's not a beer, but Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher. Yeah, those rule. I really like those. That's so good. It's basically like a pine needle seltzer kind of thing going on. It's delicious. Tim, you're hitting that U in Lagunitas. I say Lagunitas. Am I saying that wrong?

Because I usually have these things wrong. I trust you. I don't know shit about shit. Laguna. Like Laguna Beach. Lagunitas. Because sometimes, you know, sometimes you'll be talking to someone and they're like, ah, yes, uh, uh, trying to get a word

at everyone. Hold on, hold on. You know, this is good. You can see what you're going to edit down here. Why did you set yourself up for this, Mike? you put yourself in this trap and now you're i had too much monkey oh yeah it's like if somebody if somebody's like uh oh yeah what are you doing why do you why don't you say again you were so confident why do people say oh yeah like it's gonna buy them a second more. Oh yeah.

If somebody comes up to you and it's like, Oh yeah. Did you see that GIF I sent you? And you're like, Oh shit. That person said it so confidently. It is GIF. I guess I'm wrong.

On the last blow. And I was like, what album did Kendrick Lamar win a Pulitzer for? And then you guys like, I don't know what he got a Pulitzer for. Did he get a Pulitzer for this or a Pulitzer for that? And I was like, I just, I just went live with Pulitzer.

Yeah, yeah. Pew. Pew. Am I wrong? Florence Pulitzer. Florence Puh. Hey, did you guys watch that new Florence Puh movie? It's really good.

Yeah, it's really good. It's really good. It's really good. It's really good. It's really good. It's really good. It's really good. It's really good.

It's really good. Pulitzer. Google says Pulitzer. Like it gave you the phonetic. Yeah yeah it showed like the lady's lips and i clicked on it and she said i don't know whether to trust those though sometimes you get uh pronunciation guides that are just wrong just are fully out there and i trust them this google lady i trust her with like normal words. Not if you go,

not other languages, but Timmy, you got to go to our guy. Where's our guy? Oh, Jeeves. Oh yeah. Miguel,

you want to pronounce this word? I'll sometimes use a, a, a pronunciation thing. It'll be like Pulitzer. Oh, it's like, it's messing with you. It's fucking with me. Oh, it's like it's messing with you? It's fucking with me. The internet's fucking with me all the time.

Wasn't there a movie a few years ago where everyone was like saying it raw? Midsommar. I remember so many times talking about that and be like, you know in Midsommar, everybody had to do that. Everybody had to couch it I remember so many times talking about that and be like, so, you know, in Midsommar, summer, whatever it says.

Yeah. Everybody had to do that. Everybody had to couch it and like, just it's Midsommar, right? It's Midsommar. It's Midsommar. Absolutely. I never say I never said that. And I'm not about to start now.

I don't need you to do that. OK, I say, have you guys seen the movie that ari astra made after hereditary and before i was afraid every single time it gets me out of this every time it works i like that the dude with the NAB every time. Trust me, guys. Trust me, bros. Every time. I had this at work with,

who's the lady from, I'm not going to say her name because I want to hear y'all say it. She's in Euphoria. She's in Challengers. Her name is? Zendaya. Zendaya. Zendaya? Oh, Zendaya zendaya zendaya oh zendaya do people say it's zendaya but uh somebody at work uh uh was recording a voice and they said zendaya and

then i leaned over to neil and i was like it's actually zendaya and he was like oh no it's not i was like and i had i had really you're in there nice and close. I was like, oh, so I'm a dumb fucking idiot. Huh. Interesting. You like stopped the recording. So what are you suggesting, Neil?

I like when people, like, they might have a preferred pronunciation, but they don't care. Like, people say Han Solo and Han Solo in the movie. Right. Luke says Han, but I say Han. And I say Greedo shot first. You and Luke are different. Yeah.

That's the only difference between me and Luke Skywalker. Well, Luke's got a little more firsthand experience, but I swear other people say Han. Oh my God. Is that, are you fucking with, because he got his hand chopped off in the second one. Are you, are you going there? Are you going there? Are you going there? That's good, though. That's a good association to make, Mike.

Thank you. You should do improv. Are people... I think that you're allowed to say words. If you get someone's name wrong, you should respect someone's name. But other than that, I live in Los Feliz. I say Los Feliz. I'm hearing people say Los Feliz.

They're right. I'm right. say Los Feliz. They're right. I'm right. We're all right. It's all cool, baby. I say Feliz because I like the way that sounds better. Feliz. I say Feliz, but yeah, I think both are, whatever. People just say it different.

People just say it. Because Rodeo Drive is definitely Rodeo, right? You can't say, well, we turned it into Rodeo Drive. No, but Los Feliz, it'so right you can't say well we turned it into rodeo driving you know but los feliz like it's like officially you can say it however you want and you're kind of a it's kind of corny it like obviously it's spanish but it's corny to say every word that's spanish like with a spanish accent like people don't like those people anyway right well like when like now when you're ordering from a mexican restaurant it's like now's my chance to say like gu people anyway right well like when like now when you're ordering from a mexican restaurant it's like now's my chance to say like guacamole right yeah in the case of los filas i've

heard that it's not like it's not that the town is called like the happy or whatever it's like it's like named after a guy or it was like rancho i don't know there's a reason there's a re i i swear i read an article hey you know i'm going down to Mexico soon for a wedding to Cabo. Down Mexico way? And I've been doing the Duolingo for a while. I'm going down there thinking like, I might be able to get by. I think it's going to be a rude awakening that I am not going to be able to keep up with actual Spanish speakers. I think it's going to be too fast.

I wonder if like your phone is going to know that you're in Mexico and Duolingo is going to get a little more aggressive with you. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's like, shit, you got to, you got to cram buddy.

Get out there. Duolingo's GPS can tell that I'm like in a plane heading. They're like, okay, uh, you might want to, oh, notifications constantly.

You hear, she's panickingicking you are not ready buddy what the hell are you doing you idiot not yet not yet cancel the flight you're fucking crazy mike you're not ready it starts giving you things to say like how to say cancel flight in spanish it's also teaching me like spain spanish i believe which is different than different countries have different spanish styles with a lisp we'll see no no no it's it's very textbooky like descanso very slow talking like it i like i like the little characters just talk slow that would be funny if you got to mexico and you just had a very good like span spain like spain accent they'd be like wow this spaniard is great like oh from spain so i'm like no the u.s all right let's get into a second round here would you make any changes i mean like it this isn't complicated enough that you can

make too much of a change right i wish i wish i put less oj because i wanted to take like this this really just tastes like an orangina right now and i wish i was getting a little bit of beery flavor i know you you don't usually say this with uh you know you say this with cocktails a lot of times it's like oh i can barely taste it but like i can't taste the beard here at all and that's the for for as odd as it sounds i do like the the taste of the old english beer yep uh i was i don't i'm not gonna do this because i don't have tahin but i was thinking that could be like a cool, like a rim. See, you can see the little rim I have to deal with here. The tiny little spigot of my 40, but I do like, I do like the idea.

I do have some to heen and I'm going to sprinkle some in there and swirl it around and get a little bit of that spice. Yeah. That sounds good. I might do that, Jeff. I probably won't finish this by the time the episode is done, but I'm kind of cooking. Check me Jeff. I might do that, Jeff. I probably won't finish this by the time the episode's done. I'm kind of cooking. Check me out. I might do that towards the end. Check me out.

Oh, look at you go. I got basically like a can of beer left. Yeah. How many beers is 40 ounces? What's that? It's like three 12-ounce cans plus a little bit more. Will this turn out for Tim the way that the sidewalk slammer turned out? I'm on track i feel it

i feel a buzz uh what's the percentage on the stuff is it stronger than beer i think so um yeah in some cases like the hurricane is something like eight percent that's why i didn't go for it i wonder what the 800 means on this old english the year 800 it's that old nope 5.9 alcohol okay so i do have kind of like an interesting history uh with this drink uh even before i told the story of like the first time that i had one at a bar in seattle but I actually had an experience with this even when I was in high school. Oh, sure. Just for context for everybody, when I was in high school, my family,

my parents were really cool about us drinking, but there were those kinds of parents where they were like, you have to drink in the house. Where it's safe. They don't want you driving. Now, where are you growing up here? Where are we talking? Vancouver, Washington. Nice. There's a Vancouver in washington what the fuck yeah it's confusing people uh so yeah your parents were like we don't we want we don't mind you drinking but we don't want you driving we

don't want you getting laid you know yes they specifically mentioned not getting laid, which I followed because they said, sorry, ladies. I agree. If the parents said laid, they're like, listen, we don't want you getting some major tail, baby. Not unless it's in the house. So yeah, I was just like one of those, those places where, one of those houses where it was like cool for us to drink beer. But then like one time, one of my friends brought over

like some juice, it was like lemonade or juice or something. And he was like, oh, like you can like mix this into the beer. And then like my mom walked in while he was doing it and she was like, what are you guys doing? And he was like, we're just gonna mix this into the beer. And she was like, there's no mixing in this house oh wow that's wow wow so a lot a lot of parameters parameters in the patel house yeah i mean it's like cool that they let us drink but that was a

weird rule that yeah my parents had they were like no mixing cocktails or like mixing things into the beer that we were already drinking that seems weird you drink alcohol as it's as it appears in the store and then you have soft drinks separately but don't you dare yeah okay um they were just not okay with mixing so cut to like a you know like later that evening we're outside of a liquor store and we're kind of hoping that somebody will come out and like buy us some juice. Like because we had the beer already. So we were just like, yeah,

right. But you're outside of a liquor store, which is so unique. They got juice there. Well, they had juice there. Sure. But you,

if I'm thinking, you know, they also have a sneakers at Walmart, but I'm not really going to, that's a bad example. Well, you know what I have uh sneakers at walmart but i'm not really going to that's a bad example but you know what i mean mike you set yourself up once again i know jesus yeah we should have gone to walmart uh but you don't have to worry about that walmart thing i guess we went to the liquor store because it's like a place where people will buy teenagers things usually it's beer but we had the beer procured.

And then, and then this way the guy's like, oh, thank God they didn't ask me to buy liquor. Like I'll, I'll absolutely buy you juice. Yes, exactly. So we're like waiting for somebody to come out and then like, we see these three dudes come out and I'm like, I look at my friends. I'm like, are those the, are those the beastie boys? Holy shit. And I shit you not it was them it was the actual beastie boys coming out of the liquor store in vancouver at rock mca mike d you shit us not

because i was gonna be like you're shitting me but you shit us not beat you to it you beat you to it no i shit you not though you still be you already should it's not so i can't even come in now and be like you're shitting me so i we can i go up to them we tell us the whole we tell them the whole story like hey we're allowed to drink beer but like we're not allowed to mix stuff into it for some reason and uh like could you guys like maybe buy some juice uh or like do you guys have any advice all right yeah can you buy some juice or do you have some advice well yeah i mean like we're hoping for both but if one or the other would have been either way you'll settle for some look milan we actually are in these situations a lot so we do understand

yeah oh good yeah i was hoping i was like felt like my story was being convoluted but it sounds like you guys understand a lot of experience you were in a situation and a celebrity songwriter's musician came up to you yeah happens all the time uh so we asked them like do you guys have any advice and uh i didn't have a smartphone at the time this was like 2009 i was in high school so but i did have a uh i had a talk boy on me i don't know if you guys remember those. That's perfect. Yeah. I just had one happened to handle it.

And then, uh, I pressed record and, uh, basically this is what they, this is what they told me. Mix it. Mix it!

You drink a little beer and you gotta plug your nose. Oh, God. It tastes pretty bitter, but you chug it down your throat. Your parents tell you beer is all you need But when you add some OJ it tastes oh so sweet You gotta ask for the brass Monkey Monkey ass. Monkey. Your pops caught you mixing and he said, no way.

Rebels. Those guys are rebels. That hypocrite mixes one drink a day. Man, drinking just beers is such a drag Ah, your mom threw away your Tropicana Pulp, no pulp or vitamin D It doesn't matter which, just drink it, then pee.

You gotta ask for that brass. So yeah, that's basically what they told us. Unbelievable. Wild. That's wild this like really taught me i don't know about you guys but taught me a lesson about like not jumping to conclusions or making assumptions because i i kind of thought that they like knowing i'm a fan of their music and stuff i thought that this was gonna go a different way melodically but but i yeah yeah i was expecting a whole different song if i'm being honest you know the yeah exactly you know those guys are are they are ready with this perfect song for the yeah but that's right

uh it was crazy i don't know if that's like a song that they have or if that's like on one of their discs or whatever but no yeah uh that with those lyrics of no it's not on one of their discs okay yeah i wasn't sure you were i'm glad you're sure now yeah it's good to know that you're sure because i'm a pretty big fan but i was well you know you haven't got skipped through all of their discs and listened to every single track sure yeah i listened to everything i couldn't find it um but i guess their advice was just ask. So which is for the brass monkey. Yeah. That's great that they had such an understanding of your situation.

Yeah. And also it's like, it's great. Thanks for bringing that in. That's like perfect for the show. And yeah, the talk boy record is such high quality. That's amazing.

I'm glad that the voices didn't slow down or speed up or go backwards the way mccallister did my god who's his uncle that he messed with that was unfair yeah i know his uncle's a mean guy but who knows he's stressed he's got a whole life these days yeah i would i generally use the talk boy to like you know spying on my sister and like getting you know being a little you know sneak but uh it came in handy for a menace a house menace of right yeah clean fun everyone's having a little bit of fun people get embarrassed but there's no real hard feeling no no all right folks get ready for some ads we're gonna go make a round two and when we come back more sloppy boys and we're back with round two and i'm gonna do a live tahine pour here we go

oh and you're just you're not rimming you're you're going right in there just got those little tahin guys. He's got little personal tahins. You need the little to go into the little tiny spigot of the highlight. Jeff, did that come with a fruit bowl you bought at Albertsons? Fruit salad? I actually bought this a la carte, Tim. Wow.

Wow. A la carte means of the menu. Carte means menu in French? Yeah. Of the cart. Excuse me, you can be a masseur, you can have the cart. Masseur. But Timmy, sometimes I'll go to my beloved Albertsons.

Albertsons. Albertsons. Albertsons. Albertsons is me, Columbo. Like Peter Falk. It was midnight. I go to my beloved Albertsons and I get a fruit bowl of like

pineapple and whatever else, pineapple watermelon. And then there will be a little like salt packet of tahini in there. Tahini brand tahini. They stick it right in there. Tahini brand tahini. You tear and dump onto that fruit. Tear and dump.

Alright, here's my sip. How does it go, Jeffy? Baby. It's barely detectable. I got a bunch of chunks floating around. Folks, you don't need to do anything to this. You just gotta dial in your 50-50 right. Is it 50-50?

No, not 50-50. That's insane. That's insane. Get your proportions right You need to get your proportions right. Yeah. I did too much. That would be my change next time. Less OJ. Too much OJ for me. Yeah.

But I did chug it. I am way, way down. I've never seen an Old English in a not 40 container. Yeah, me neither. I know, Tim, you like the fruit cups, right? Like where you get, like in LA, there's like fruit carts yeah yeah yeah baby uh do you guys all like those or yes i don't know if that's yeah do you get them with everything on it or do you get ah coconut's a little too hard it kind of like harshes the mill i let i get it with everything even the jicama and i get it

most importantly i want all the condiments i want the lime squeeze i want the chamoy yeah i do i like the tahini lime and then i don't do the chamoy as much fuck you where do you what part of town you live in um i live in What part of town do you live in? I live in... Sorry, I hesitated. I don't know if I want people to know. Hey, you know who's editing is you.

You bleeped that one out. Oh, nice. Yeah, good point. We got a guy in Los Feliz I go to all the time and I want to ask him, like sometimes there's certain fruits that are really fresh and ripe and perfect and then other times you're like the mango didn't it's never bad but it's like this mango was a little hard or a little unripe or whatever i want to ask him that but i feel like it's insulting to be like

which fruit is shit only the fresh fruit please yeah like give me the good ones to skip whatever shitty today i do i mean i don't ask that specifically but i'll ask for like oh i just want mango and pineapple um they don't usually like when i do that but uh right because i would think that would be an upcharge those are the those are the best mango is the hot item yeah which i'm okay paying extra for that but it's like i don't want where you got all this podcast money running and you got you got the money and buy as much fruit as i want yeah all right final thoughts on brassass Monkey. Let me tell you real quick, though.

I was looking up if Old English comes in anything else. They make them in 24-ounce cans. So they're not going all the way down to a normal can, but they'll compromise. But then I was looking at Colt 45. Colt 45 is 8% alcohol. What? For real? They make something called a high gravity now i don't know what that is hold on oh that's something i saw yeah it's like a black can with a it's got a

little sleeker look i was seeing high gravity what what was it under oh yeah hurricane is also eight percent and high gravity it's high gravity anyway uh my final thoughts is uh the brass monkey not order again for me you think it's a it's a it's a 40 ruined i think so i think i think i like the both the flavor of both these drinks together i don't i don't uh i not that i don't like them i just don't need them. You know what I mean? Right. It's too much orange juice. The orange juice taste is not mixing well with the beer,

but in a way that's not like, I'm going to finish this thing, but I'm not like, ooh, I can't drink any more of this, but I'm not charging for this. I'm going to bring back an old distinction that we used to throw around willy-nilly. Appointment only. If everybody's making these and we're doing Brass Monkeys by the pool or it's like a big summertime thing, cool.

But here I am looking at a giant High Life and I'm just asking myself, wow, that could be a giant spaghetti. I could be sipping on a giant High Life lemon and Aperol this whole time. I'd rather be doing that. I'll do you one better, Jeff. I'll do you one better, Jeff.

I'll do you one better. It could just be a giant high life. It could, you know, it could, I would, what have you goosed it up as you go? I would say I don't,

I would do way less orange juice than I did. I would do a little splash. It's an order again for me. Just if like, if I were drinking malt liquor every day and then I want to change the pace uh i i would do this once in a while i'd go less oj but here's the thing if you were drinking malt liquor every day this should be your change of pace that's the only change i'm making i would say with all the the goose up drinks like uh beers it's drink your high life until you get bored, then splash

your Aperol in there. Drink your Mickey's until you start to get bored and then splash some OJ in it. Yeah, where is this urgency coming from? Bring it on home in the back half. Where's this boredom coming from, folks? Come on. Take it easy. Live a little. Well, if I'm drinking 40 ounces of the

same taste, that's a lot of sips, dude. Yeah, and these do get warm. These get warm pretty quick. So if you guys had smaller bottles, would you be more inclined to drink this? Like I'm drinking out of a 12 ounce and I put in just a little bit of juice. It tastes pretty good. I would order this again. You're in a way, okay.

I'll tell you why. In the 12 ounce bottle, you're not battling the temperature like I am. You know, I would be able to drink one of those. Tim's trying to beat the heat, the heat of the bottle of drink. I would drink a beer in 11 minutes rather than drinking a 40 in an hour.

Same thing for me, except seconds. Nice. Faster. He drinks it faster, except seconds. Nice. Faster. He drinks it faster. 11 seconds, Tim. I can crush a beer in 11 seconds. Damn, okay. This guy drinks fast, yeah. So he says.

According to this man. He's never tested. He's never, he's on record saying he's never done a funnel before. I mean, I'm looking at him. He hasn't finished the 40 in this whole episode. But that's his choice yeah i'll take his word for it sure why why doubt him the guy who's smashed on half of a 40 meeland did you give your final thoughts yeah i did i would order this again i would say if i drank alcohol though and i was like trying to get, I probably wouldn't just put juice in my beer.

I would do a variation with like liquor just so that I'm still getting drunk. You know? What about a fucking sham board in here? Didn't we do something like that? What was that? I know it. It rings a bell. Keir beer.

Yeah. Yeah. Didn't we do something like that? What was that? I know it rings a bell. Keir beer. Keir beer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe you don't drink it all the way down to the bend in the bottle, but two big gulps and Chambord, I'm on board. Sure. Why not Aperol and lemon? Come on, that's the good taste. Oh, I'm just trying to think of different stuff.
