Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys, where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you
love, America's favorite podcast and the best choice for you.
Celebrating four years of ascension, expansion,ansion, Conquest, and Retention.
I'm Jeff Dutton, along with Michael Hanford.
May the fourth be with you.
And Tim Galpakis.
What is up?
And we are your hosts, the Sloppy Boys,
celebrating four years of Ascension and Expansion,
Conquest, and Retention.
Four years, wow.
We were doing that the whole time, wow.
I thought that was a newer thing.
This is pretty incredible.
I don't even feel like it's a four year old show yet.
We've been doing this pod as long as we went
to Ithaca College.
And if you think about it, this podcast is,
we sort of have a degree in casual cocktail making.
Some of us are passing with A's
and some of us are squeaking by with C pluses
and stealing some answers from their other classmates.
That's how college goes.
But hey, you'll walk across that stage all the same.
That's true.
You get that diploma and you enter the workforce
all the same.
The drink force, the bar force.
Folks, we're out there drinking now.
Happy fourth, hey, from the bottom of my heart,
happy fourth anniversary to you guys.
Hey, happy fourth.
Happy fourth to you, Tim.
Now, what are you drinking over there
to celebrate the fourth?
Adult Pedialyte.
Now, this, I wanna know if this has anything to do
with your weekend, cause I know what you did this weekend,
and I want you to tell me.
Yeah, I know what you did last weekend. and I want you to tell me. Yeah, I know what you did last weekend.
This actually not really, I'm not doing,
I have this on hand, but I just had it now
because we're doing a shot today.
And I'm like Ernest Hemingway,
I typically like to start the evening with an aperitivo,
work my way up to a glass of wine or a martini,
and then wind down with a DJ Steve.
It's not common for me to start the man.
The old man, the sea man.
I don't like to start with the shot.
So I'm trying to over hydrate.
So this first shot doesn't make me like, doesn't this like make me like red faced and sweaty
and screaming into my microphone.
But Mikey bring up a good point.
The Sloppy Boys, this is our first time seeing each other since we were scattered across
North America.
We had big weekends this weekend.
The great diaspora, yes.
Jeff way out there in New Jersey, like way up north in Toronto, way Midwest in Kansas City.
We got the whole continent.
I had a blast in Toronto.
Thanks to everyone who came out,
met some new, some slop heads I'd never met.
We had some slop heads I had met before,
but a great time in Toronto.
I'm talking about two sold out shows.
Thanks folks.
Oh, Chet Sheen.
That's good to know that there's a market up there.
The Hanford market is booming in Toronto.
I told some people, you know, lightly, I wasn't scolding anyone as I usually am.
But somebody was like, hey, we were so happy you guys came, or you guys, you came up to
Toronto.
We're waiting for you.
And I was like, I'll tell you what I tell everyone who says we got to come to their
town.
We're trying to go to every single town.
We would be doing this every single day of our lives if we could.
We're trying folks.
We want to come to your town today.
But now that venue, the Comedy Bar, am I correct in saying that that's like our old friends,
comedy Torontonian pals like Rebecca Adelman and Atlanta Johnson and...
Don't forget Holly Prez off.
And Nessa and Holly, is the comedy bar
where that was kind of their place, right?
Well, and I'll tell you what, the Skechersons was there.
That was like, have you heard the Skechersons?
I've heard of that.
Yeah.
It's like a lot of Toronto people's,
a sketch show that was on Sunday,
like Scott Thompson would come in
and maybe do the monologues or something.
No, that's kids in the hall you're thinking of.
Yeah.
But who should I do monologues?
Every episode, yeah.
Every episode, yeah.
And sometimes he would do scenes with his other guys.
Yeah, Bruce McCullough would come in too.
Yeah.
Oh no, but I walked,
I walked backstage to the little green room
and who do I see on the wall?
A young Norm,
Atlanta's husband.
Suza.
Oh, I was thinking Norm MacDonald.
Oh yeah, I know.
He's also Canadian.
I guess, yeah, I guess I didn't want to say his name.
Norm Suza, but I guess we could say his name. Suza-phone. Yeah,, he's a sousa phonist not true. But anyway, it was just fun. It was like, oh, yeah
This is like that contingency of people
This was like they're starting off their UCB stage. Nice. It was good. It's good now, but that's that's boring stuff Tim
Jeff you were there for a wedding you were in the West Coast, East Coast? No, I was there for a baptism.
I'm a godfather and I will be referred to as such.
Hey.
Jeff, you did the splashing of the holy water, right?
I did the splashing.
And now, did you slip in a little brisk while you were there?
Snip, snip.
Yeah, let me add that thing.
Give me that.
Hey, throw mine in there too for a snip.
Who's over here?
You take a little off the top.
So you put your dig side by side, one snip, two tips.
Okay, come on.
I'm sure the family loves that.
Disgusting.
That's nasty.
No, I didn't get to dunk.
Did you, where in New Jersey?
Cranford.
Cranford?
You gotta get a Hanford down to Cranford sometime. Does that answer your question?
Yeah, I mean, absolutely perfectly answered my question. I've never been there. We're talking
we're talking North Jersey. It's beautiful. Actually, Tim, I don't know where it is in the
context of the rest of Jersey. Is it near Patterson? Is it by Morristown? Is it by Haldane? Is it by
Wayne? It's 20 minutes from the Newark Airport. That's all I know. Okay. It's Newark
adjacent. I know exactly where that is. And there are canals. They call it like
the, it's sort of like the Italy of Jersey. The Italy of Jersey? Yeah, where
they got the canals in Italy? Come on. Venice. Yes, the Venice of Jersey.
That's what they call it.
They do. Yes.
And they flooded one time.
Go ahead, Mike.
This this
piddling and nonsense bores me.
Tim, tell me about the.
Tim's got the big one.
Tell us, Tim.
Tell us.
So I was.
I should have like recorded some audio.
That would have been nice.
It's all right, you recorded it in your mind.
That would have been dynamic.
You might have heard,
you got that daydream, daydream.
No?
Is that not true?
Wait, but what song is that?
Cause that sounded like,
Style.
Oh, that's so, of all the songs to choose, you picked the one that was your choice of
best Taylor song on the blowout.
Yes.
Well, you know, let's keep the Taylor stuff about this short.
You were at something bigger than Taylor Swift for once.
I went with friend of the pod, Ben Axelrad, who you've, Mike, you and him like went to
a food hall one time and you recorded.
Smorgasbord.
He and I went to a Wisconsin supper club together
and I played some audio on an episode.
We did a Kansas City barbecue tour.
So, you know, of course I went to.
I've done stuff with Ben too, everybody.
I just didn't have a tape going.
Yeah, but did you go to Arthur Bryant's?
Did you go to Gates?
Did you go to Slaps?
Did you go to Joe's? Did you go to Stroud's even?
How long were you there for Tim? Um long weekend
Four day weekend or so, but yeah, the highlight was are you guys aware of the the tailgate scene?
It at Arrowhead at that where they were the Kansas City Chiefs tailgate scene. Oh this
No, I can only imagine.
I'm aware of tailgating, but I didn't know
that they have a big one.
Ben was like, oh, we should go.
He's like, a Monday night football
is a home game for the Chiefs this week,
so we should go and tailgate.
And I was like, yeah, yeah, and we'll go to the game.
And he's like, well, we'll go and tailgate.
And I was like, no, tickets are cheap.
We'll go.
And I was like, yeah, and we'll go.
It didn't register it because tailgating
sounds so fun but I'm picturing the wimpy versions like the tailgate of a
truck flops down and I sit on it with a hot dog you know nothing wrong with that
though nothing wrong with that Tim Tim's pick wants a whole he doesn't want to
sit on the back of a tailgate he wants to sprawl out on a flat bed. He gets some Z's. He gets the last two hours of sleep.
And a hot dog when he wakes up wouldn't be so bad.
This is just, it's a whole scene, it's crazy.
The entire parking lot is completely full.
You know, it holds 73,000 people at the stadium.
The whole parking lot is full the whole day.
People get there at 6 a.m. and start setting up
their trailers and their smokers and their
grills and stuff.
I roll in there in the afternoon.
This is one of the biggest events I've ever attended.
There'd be parties of 20 people, whole families having crawfish boils and smoking briskets
and these huge,
I couldn't believe the,
it's almost like one upping each other and how much work you put into your
thing. No one was just eating hot dogs. Everyone was having-
That's like a parade. It's like a stationary parade.
They consider them themselves a float.
And everyone was the grand marshal. Um, but it was amazing.
So I just walked around and, uh, drank a bunch of Budweiser. That's kind of,
you know, we like to, if, when we're in Chicago, we drink Old Style. When we're in Texas, we drink Lone Star. So I just walked around and drank a bunch of Budweiser.
When we're in Chicago, we drink Old Style.
When we're in Texas, we drink Lone Star.
When you're in Kansas City, I was like, what's the local beer?
And it's Budweiser.
That's what everybody's drinking there is Budweiser because you're not that far from
St. Louis.
It's a Missouri beer.
You know?
That's a very appropriate thing to be drinking at a tailgate party for NFL.
That's good.
Parking lot. It's a good thing to be drinking at a tailgate party for NFL. That's good. Parking lot.
It's a red can.
But yeah, if anyone ever has the opportunity
to go tailgate, it was a real experience.
You're talking to people, people come up to me,
hey, me, oh, hi, you know.
Hey, oh, pepping up.
You kind of barter, you can offer somebody some,
like hey, want a beer?
Can I have some food? That type of thing.
Oh, pep it up.
This isn't working, Ben.
They're still talking to me.
Go ahead.
I'm walking.
I see.
All I can let us pipe in for our jokes at some points.
Yeah, but this is going to trounce your jokes.
I see like not a lot of people,
like 12 teenage girls by this fence.
And I say, hey, what's up over here, ladies?
And then they were like,
we're looking down here in the VIP entrance.
I was like, is this the player entrance?
And they're like, we're hoping to see Taylor Swift.
I go, okay, I'm gonna face this direction.
Booze!
Taylor Swift, see her.
Bing bang boom.
Wow. Wow.
Now I thought she would be coming in,
she's famous for like hiding in a box
and having the roadies carry the box in
or roll the box in her.
She just walked right in.
She just strolled in.
I thought she would do one of those cool stage entrances
where the floor elevators up real quick
and she got flies in the air.
And then walks to her seat.
They kind of rocket her up there.
But she saw me and she was saying,
hey, do you want to collab on some music?
I was like, oh no, I'm doing barbecue this week.
Yeah, we don't want her music.
That is the least, that's the last thing we want from her.
We're a party rock band, Tim.
We don't go in for all that high wattage songstress stuff.
All we need from her is one retweet.
Does she understand that?
Or a regram?
Did you try to get that across?
That's all we want.
She can't wrap her head around that.
One regram.
She wouldn't listen, you know?
Because she doesn't, because I don't think
she does her own gramming.
She has some team do it.
Repost us on X, please.
Please?
We said please.
If I drank this whole bottle of Adulpedia Light, I don't have to drink water again for
like a week, right?
That's like so much hydration.
Now you're good.
You're good.
You're paid up.
Yeah.
But somebody's got to change your diaper pretty quick soon.
Oh yeah.
Turns you into a baby.
I didn't see that on there.
It says turn you directly into baby.
Turns you into a little bald baby who shits his diapers.
Fuck.
Hey, wait, I have
questions about the tailgate. So you saw no game. You saw no game. Oh, Jeff. I was spitting
game. No. Yes. I, Ben didn't seem to give a flying fuck. It would not if we go to the
game. But I was like, I want to go to the game. So I opened up stub hub and I got us
tickets and we went to the game and we had a good time.
Oh wow, okay.
I was gonna say, cause a lot of people,
you hear tailgating, they're like,
we're going tailgating, like Ben's approach,
Ben's original approach, his original intent.
Some people just do that.
Tailgating doesn't have to be the appetizer
to the main course, it could just be tailgating
in and of itself and you have a good time.
Yeah, do those people then, like,
who come in with buses and like, don't go to the game,
you think they watch the game out in the tailgate, or they go home?
I left, we left the game early and the parking lot was silent.
So it didn't feel like, I think that a lot of people
either went home or went to sports bars or came inside.
But like, the parking lot scene is dead once the game starts.
But this was cool because there was also
the Royals had a postseason game at the same time.
So like you had people tailgating, watching the Royals game on TVs in their trailers and
stuff.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
Wait, this was the Monday game, right?
Yeah.
Are people going to tailgate before the West Coast pod tour for us?
I think so.
And they won't even go to the show really. They tailgate before the West Coast pod tour for us? I think so. And they won't even go to the show really. They tailgate.
And that's sort of where their community is and they can sell bootleg stuff and do
drugs and crawfish boils and smoking briskets and they go home.
We played a no one.
Have you not being a big sports guys, have you guys heard of the Bill's mafia?
What that's all about.
That's the tailgating that the Buffalo Bills do. Of course not. No. Well, that's what I'm gonna tell you. I figured Tim probably knew.
I said both of you because you know. I've heard of the real, I've heard of the Cosa Nostra, the Mafia.
It's much like that.
And the Yakuza. No, it's the it's the tailgating group. It's just like the Bills fans.
But for some reason, there's this tradition
of taking out a folding table.
Oh, they body slam.
Slam each other through or jumping off of.
Yeah, I've seen that.
So that's what's going on.
Tim, did you say anything wild like that?
Or is it pretty, people were doing stuff like that?
Yep.
OK, he did.
OK, well, all right.
I didn't see any body slamming, but I saw there was so much
going on.
You have no idea how much setting up there was.
I can't put it into words.
It was overwhelming.
People were probably playing some of that, what's it called,
where you throw the beanbag at the cornhole.
Lots of cornhole.
Lots of pigskin being tossed around.
Big Jenga?
No Big Jenga.
How about this?
I see Big Jenga.
Fuck!
I see a-
Fuck you, Kelsey!
Travis Kelsey, that's Travis Kelsey I'm talking about.
Oh, also, Travis and Jason Kelsey's faces
are all over everything there.
They have a beer called Flight, I think.
No, no, no, Garage.
They have a beer called Garage.
I saw a different beer called Yingling Flight,
which was light, I guess.
There's a bottle of water and and had Travis's face on it
You like like every they loved that guy there and Jason Kelsey to his brother his brother
That's why his brother didn't play for that team, but allegiance are thin
I guess when cash is on their co-hosts of a podcast Mike and that's what people love is podcasts and podcasts
Yeah, we should have our faces out there on the, what were you,
TG stadium?
Is that what it's called?
Geehee?
Teehee?
Yeah, G-E-H-A.
Huh?
Gee.
Gee-ha.
I think it's Gee-ha.
No, it's G-E-H-A. The guy was like, welcome to G-E-H-A.
Oh.
Terrible.
You don't get to do that.
If your acronym is three, you get three.
IBM, you get three.
UBS, we love you.
We hate the color, but.
YMCA, you're grandfathered in.
And nobody else after that.
I can't pay attention to that many letters.
I have ADHD.
Ah, no, you got me!

Bunch of slopheads sent me this and I said, I'm actually interested in that.
Seven up Shirley temple.
Okay.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Nothing game changing there so far, Tim.
What else you got?
So that's game change, Jeff.
When you make your dirty Shirley's, here's you.
Oh, I got to get seven up.
Oh, I also have to get roses grenadine.
Yeah. So now you're reaching for one bottle. Oh, I got to get seven up. Oh, I also have to get Rose's grenadine. Yeah, so.
Now you're reaching for one bottle.
Psh, one can.
Psh.
Ooh.
And it's got good reviews from Eater.
They said, this tastes like a really good Shirley Temple
and a nice strong grenadine taste.
And it is-
Eater said that?
Eater said that. And here's the thing though.
The New York Times, the failing New York Times.
Hey, I have a subscription.
The failing paper of record.
They thought that the Dirty Shirley
was gonna be the drink of the summer 2023.
With the saying, oh summer, summer, summer.
But now that you think of it, pink drink.
Don't you think around the holidays,
you're getting a bottle of seven up Shirley Temple?
Hey, it's Christmas.
You're pouring pink drinks for your family.
Everybody's getting tanked, barfing all over the tree.
I like my gifts.
You barfed up my gifts.
We made a fucking pink drink.
Or I did not for the pod.
But Tim, you came over for the holidays here one time to my little apartment.
Poinsettia punch.
Poinsettia punch.
So we did cover it on the pod.
Yeah.
Damn, that was a good little pinky too.
That was a good little pinky.
I just think that if you garnish this with a cranberry, but this is limited time.
It's out from now until the end of this year, until New
Year's Eve. So yeah, you can buy it the day of the Sloppy Boys New Year's Eve show in
Chicago.
Oh, that's gonna be good.
So you just buy this and you add your own vodka. Vodka.
I mean, yeah, you also just buy this and drink it if you just want to Shirley Temple, but
it's part of booze news.
Yeah, it is part of booze.
I thought you were going to say it was going to be like the Coca-Cola Jack
Daniels in one can.
No, they don't have the balls for that.
I don't know. I don't love this design here.
I don't like the color of it.
What don't you like about the drink?
I don't like the colors, too.
It doesn't. There's no boldness.
I want bold.
What are you talking about?
It's red.
Yeah, but it's like a, it's kind of like a, the, the can is like a light pink red.
But the can does look very holiday.
Does it not?
Yeah, but it's holiday and like, and you know, like that like sixties, like white Christmas
tree type look.
I like that.
Mid-century. That's fun. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You don't like the white tacky like white Christmas tree type look. I like that. Mid-century.
That's fun.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You don't like the white tacky Palm Springs Christmas tree?
That's fun.
It's giving a Christmas story.
I can't believe you don't like that.
I don't like it and I don't want to talk about it anymore.
I love it and I specifically like that.
You know, when I make myself an old,
I make myself a whiskey sour, I'm picturing that era.
I don't do the fancy whiskey sour.
I do half whiskey, half sour mix,
bunch of ice, cherry on top.
Cartoon cherry.
I'm looking for that.
No egg?
Isn't egg in the?
If you're fancy, not me.
Not me.
Mike, you want to fancy, you come over to Casa de Dots.
Oh, I'd rather go to Casa de Mel.
Even my old fashions.
You think when I make an old fashion, I'm using the big cube?
No, I've got a smashed bunch of ice there, bunch of cherries.
I'm having a hell of a time.
I got to get more just cranked, cranked, cracked ice in my house.
That's true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I had a good time the other night. I got some shitty drinks at old,
God, what's it called?
The drawing room.
That's a place, you want a great shitty drink?
Go to drawing room.
The best.
Oh, it's a heavy pour, I love it.
For a $10 drink, you get more than a double.
More than a double.
Last time I was there,
Tim and I almost didn't make it home alive
Truly I get that I got a frenet on the rocks there
I feel like i'm getting like four shots in there and i'm blasted out of my brain
You're getting a good portion of that bottle
We saw that girl leave and then just run back in the room and make out with that guy
Oh my god, it was a real moment of romance this
This guy this lady was kind of drunk
and she was like flirting with this guy for like two seconds.
And then she left, her friends were like,
we're going, she left.
And then she like dashed back in the room
and jumped on this guy's laugh and like made out with him.
It was wild.
You could see her, she was leaving
and she was like scanning the room
for a dude to make out with.
And then she like went to talk to him for like, yeah, they only talked for like 10 seconds
before her friends pulled her outside.
It was funny to witness that Mike, because that was the same night, like earlier in the
night you saw a couple at a booth in the corner and they were being kind of cute and flirty
and like, oh yeah, that's a first date and watch this.
And then when they set up to walk out, you said, Hey, are you guys on a date?
And they're like, yeah.
And you're like, Oh, well you guys, you, you, are you guys on a date? And they're like, yeah. And you're like, oh, well, you guys, you are adorable.
You make a really cute couple.
And you could see.
Well, cupid, Michael.
That they got wet and hard when you said that.
Yeah, I wanna just bring people together.
He's not saying which one got wet or which one got hard.
I would never.
I would never.
I mean, it's that, but yes, the lady who ran in and then she kissed the guy and then left.
And then the guy and his like dorky friends were like, what the hell is that?
And then the one guy left and ran after I think she was gone.
Of course, it was crazy.
And what were the friends doing pulling her out of there?
They why do that? It's always the friends, huh?
Because they're like, you're too drunk.
You can start making out with this nerd.
Well, it was also, yeah, it was it was a hot babe making out with a dumb nerd
so they were sort of like
All right, that's fair
All right. Is that it for booze news? That's a good
Okay. Yeah, that's good booze news me one hit him with it
Fucking whiskey so I couldn't stop a fucking three or four right? Wow
Nice I couldn't stop a fucking three or four. Right. Wow. Ha ha ha. Yeah.
Nice.
That's good.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Now you guys are interested in the drink of the day.
Yes.
Very much so.
Yeah.
Well, good.
Let me tell you all about it today.
We are doing for for our fourth anniversary, of course, we are doing something called the
Four Horsemen Shot. You've had. doing something called the four horsemen shot.
You've had.
I've not had.
I've heard.
I fear it.
I revere it.
Feared and revered.
I've had, I've heard, but not had.
Remember we did, I think maybe just on the third birthday
of the show, we did the three wise men,
which was Johnny Jack and another J name
Yeah, this one so this is one of those drinks where you know, there's no real history about it it
It's like any college kid could come up with this type of drink
It seems like Mikey always seems to get the drinks where there's no real history about it.
Isn't that funny?
I know there's no real history.
Well, no real history that I'm interested in looking up.
So here we go.
Let me just tell you about the,
no, I looked it up, I looked it up.
I spent hours, hours, micro-fiche,
yards of micro-fiche I was going through.
Where, where, where, where when this first brought up?
Mike has basically a PhD in this sort of thing right about now
Yeah, yeah this sort of thing
So let me just tell you what's in it's so easy
The recipe calls for four whiskies whose names start with the letter J Jim Beam John Jameson Johnny Walker and Jack Daniel
All are combined in equal parts into a shot glass and then serve. There's no shaking, straining, or even stirring required.
Now, I was looking for the recipe.
We can stir though, right?
You can if you want.
I could probably shake it if you want to,
but it's just gonna be a shot, Jeff.
We're only doing 0.75 ounces of each.
You see?
What was I gonna say?
Oh yes, I was looking up the recipe,
just as I was looking up the recipe as I was looking up the history.
And a lot of them replaced the Johnny Walker
with Jose Cuervo.
Yeah, that's a little weird.
Which we saw with the three wise men,
like if you added Jose Cuervo to it,
it was like the three wise men go to Mexico.
Or one of them was like adding wild turkey. It's like the three wise men go to Mexico. Or one of them was like, adding wild turkeys.
Like the three wise men go on a turkey hunt.
So some people do Jose Cuervo, but that's a tequila.
So that might throw the-
Yeah, Johnny Walker's a little out of step
because it's blended scotch whiskey
as opposed to the other ones.
But you're going even crazier if you're putting in tequila.
But I think the scotch is good to the,
I mean, it's not like this drink is made for any reason. It's not about the taste. It's about the name and the concept. And no one
ever like was taste testing this. But yeah, I think that if you were going for a dynamic taste,
it makes kind of sense to mix together all the different types of whiskey and scotch should be
representative. If you're throwing in Jose Cuervo, you're like just throwing shit at the wall.
I have an idea for a second round
that I'll talk to you guys about later on.
Oh, I was reading this on Thrillist.
It said this sentence,
if you're a whiskey lover, you're sure to be fine.
The sentence ahead of it was saying like,
this might be too much for some people.
It says if you're a whiskey lover, you should be fine for some people. It says if you're a whiskey lover should be fine.
But I would think like if you're a whiskey lover,
you don't want your whiskey is all mixed together.
Like you like whiskey and appreciate the taste.
It's not like I'm a whiskey lover, therefore I can handle four whiskies at a time.
I like to ruin four whiskies.
If you're a whiskey lover, you don't like any of these whiskies.
I'm not picky. I like these whiskies, but whiskey lovers don't.
Yeah.
Oh, I also saw this, the apocalypse shot is all these,
but then a layer of overproofed rum on top
and you set it ablaze.
See that, okay.
But then again, you know,
you're adding different kinds of liquor.
I like this, I like this four whiskey thing.
Yeah, that's what we're doing.
If it's the four horsemen of the apocalypse,
as told to us in the Book of Revelation,
then they lighting it on fire.
That's that's fun. That's biblical.
Yes. I was I was reading up a little bit on the four horsemen here.
Do you know that any specifics about them?
I know the names. You guys know the names. You do? Go for it.
War, famine, pestilence, death.
Yeah, this one says conquest, war, famine, and death.
So conquest.
What about pestilence?
Plague and pestilence are the same.
That's conquest.
But the horses are the whole. What the fuck, now I'm looking at,
Jesus Christ.
There's a red horse, a white horse, a black horse,
and a pale horse, whatever that means.
Oh, the pale horse, that's the scary one.
So that's the biblical version,
but I was looking up some disambiguations,
and there's the four horsemen of the Supreme Court Court were four guys who were trying to block the New Deal
conservative FDRs New Deal
Mm-hmm
Four horsemen of the apocalypse in blackjack. This is a cool and there was four US Army engineers who discovered in the 50s the like
Strategy of blackjack like mathematical the strategy and they were called the Four Horsemen by like the gambling community.
Like the people who like ran the gambling
because they were gonna like bring down their, yeah.
So Four Horsemen is a professional wrestling,
Rick Flair, American football, Four Horsemen,
and the Notre Dame fighting Irish in the 24.
So Four Horsemen obviously is a force
not to be reckoned with,
which I think we're gonna get with this drink. Not to be reckoned with. We're going to reckon with it. Well,
we're going to reckon with it. But the idea is like, of course, not to be reckoned with.
Don't reckon with these guys because they will take you down.
Because there are four of them. They're tough. Guys, I got a good idea.
We put out an album called Four Horsemen and on the cover, it's the three of us.
That's good. Just called Four Horsemen. Damn, too bad we already did four.
Fuck.
We did like three of us on horses.
Yeah.
Like, oh, weird.
Okay.
That's good.
It's like kind of hard to look at.
You read the title, look at the picture, it kind of hurts your brain a little bit.
Why is that hard to look at?
There's no extra horse.
We could have Roland. We could have Roland.
We could have Roland on a horse.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah, the force member.
Make it like a make an electric album.
Our fifth album is coming out.
Four horsemen.
There's three of us.
None of us is running up, guys.
And we sold two copies to one guy.
All right.
All right.
Let's make this drink.
Wait, wait.
Do we say the proportions, Mike?
Yes, it's a three quarter ounce.
Yeah.
Of each?
No, three of an eyeball equal parts equal parts.
Yeah, I'm just going to do equal parts.
And I got I went to the liquor store and got four.
I had Jim Beam.
But I got three of two of each of the three that weren't Jim Beam because I had Jim Beam, but I got three of, two of each of the three that weren't Jim Beam,
because I had Jim Beam.
But so that's going to be fun to crack those open,
just pop them in.
And I just got hit by a wave of major nausea,
like I'm going to barf from drinking a whole bottle
of adult Pedialyte.
Ooh, we'll check in on Tim after the break, I guess.
Overhydrated.
That doesn't make you nauseous, does it?
Yeah, but I'm over hydrated.
It's like a fucking ocean down there. Oh, all. All right. It's a good cliffhanger.
Good podcasting, too.
All right, folks, we're going to go make these drinks, and when we come back, first sips.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Oh,
our bag for horsemen in hand.
Oh, let's see him. I did half an ounce of each.
I can't gulp all that shit.
Me too. Me too. Okay, great. Perfect
It's still a big shot. Two ounces is a big shot. Normally shots are one and a half
You know what? Let's take these shots and I'll spill my goddamn guts to you
Here we go. Skull. Hey, hey, happy fourth anniversary. Hey
What's up? Here we go.
Oh baby, I almost had a bad guttural reaction to that.
It healed my bad guttural reaction.
I didn't even, I couldn't even do the whole thing.
Normally I don't, I don't try and gulp
the whole fucking shot.
Like I'm-
What do you mean?
You're supposed to, it's a shot.
I mean a normal size shot, yeah,
but like sometimes you get shots at these bars
and they're like fucking glasses of liquor.
I don't do that.
I was going to say, Jeff, you know what I like the,
when people take a shot, ooh, I'm having a tough time with that shot. I didn't do that. I was gonna say, Jeff, you know what I like, when people take a shot,
ooh, I'm having a tough time with that shot.
I didn't even finish mine.
Yeah, I got like a baby remnant.
Yowza.
I gotta say, I'm surprised that Jameson's
coming through the most.
I wouldn't have thought that he would be the-
How can you tell what's coming through?
Cause I'm getting more on Irish whiskey.
Damn.
Oh, what I was gonna say is I like it in bars
when they give you a shot that's in a big cup,
like a shots worth, but in a bigger glass.
You don't have to like, Oh, I'm going to drop it.
Big cup.
Boom. Yeah. Big cup.
I agree. Big cup.
I like that.
Someone was complaining about that to me recently.
I was like, I like the big cup.
Little shot, big cup.
It's kind of, I feel like it's a newish thing.
I've seen it more little little shot in a big, big cup.
Farley used to do fat guy, a little coat around the office, you know.
Are they doing a Farley movie? Did I hear about that?
I am. Yeah. Yeah. It was Josh Gad, wasn't it?
Is it? Yeah.
Yeah. No, it's the other dude.
Oh, Paul Walter Hauser.
Walter Hauser, yeah.
Well, that'll be interesting.
They heard about that I'm gonna have to live through
a Jeremy Allen White Springsteen movie,
so then they were like,
nah, let's make things even harder on him.
Let's do it while he's down, let's just do it.
Kick him while he's down,
and then he can rise like a phoenix after this, you know?
But just pile it on now.
Remember that Jerry Garcia movie he wanted to see?
Let's put that on indefinite hold.
That's true. What the fuck's Gorsese?
I know.
If Jonah Hill's canceled, then recast, but what the fuck?
Ooh, that would have been good.
Yeah, it would have been good.
And it was kind of synced up with Jonah Hill
being sort of like Mr. Malibu Surfer Man.
It kind of was in the air.
Mm-hmm, right.
And I understand if you don't want to make more.
He was dying his hair and stuff.
Yeah, he would have been good.
But he's a complicated figure, Jonah Hill.
You could get somebody else to play Jerry Garcia.
Don't kill the whole film.
Yeah.
I'll tell you who could play him
with a little makeup, Paul Rudd.
The Rudder?
Paul Rudd.
Jerry Garcia?
I don't know, man.
I'll say anything after a four horseman shot.
Yeah, man.
Hey, I feel like this episode's going too fast.
Guys, the popular podcasts are chill.
Maybe Meeland can slow us down.
Yeah, slow it down.
Or add vocal fry.
At least slow us down for this next quick portion
where we just say our names.
Hey, I'm Tim.
Yeah, man.
Hey, I'm Mike.
Hey, I'm Jeff.
Great.
Now back to normal.
Yeah, make those really low sounds.
Somebody on Instagram once slowed down our show,
and it just makes us sound like we're drunk.
Man, the funniest thing I heard on IZON Discord was,
normally I listen to podcasts at 0.75 speed or like 0.8 speed
so I catch all the jokes.
You can save for it.
I don't know.
They're like, I listen to Teacher's Lounge
and stuff like that. And I listen to it on 0.8 speed so I can catch all the jokes. I don't know. They're like, I listen to Teacher's Lounge and this other thing, and I listen to it on point each speed
so I can catch all the jokes.
I don't really have that problem with sloppy boys,
but I still listen to it that way.
Ha ha ha ha.
Not worth mentioning.
Don't say that shit on our Discord.
You're done.
You're off the Discord.
I feel like I recently got a compliment
that I didn't like.
What was it?
Somebody talking shit to me. I'll fucking kill him. You're getting nagged. I've been having
a compliment myself lately. I'm like, folks, help me out here. I gotta, I gotta be only one.
I wake up in the morning. Hey, you're looking so handsome. So good. I go in the street and I hear the exact opposite from strangers.
Oh, I just checked my notes app to see if I had jotted down this beef that I had with...
Because I've, you know, some I've got a note called podcast and I'll put in little notes like I should talk about that on the
podcast, you know. Yeah, that's good. That's good. And then, hold on, my parents are Google meeting me.
Okay, fine.
I didn't, the thing that I'm looking for is not here, but what is here was I saw, you
know that meme format we like where you say like, you say something and then like, it's
like me when I whatever, and then it'll be a clip of a song
with a really slow build up to it.
You know we were like it was like it was like me when you asked me what if I'm like tired
and you asked me if I want to go out and then oh yeah yeah yeah yeah slow song and then
it was like no but it would takes a long time.
The lyric the natural lyric like answers the question of the thing.
Yeah.
Yes. I saw one of those that made me laugh. That was, um, it was, uh, uh, me,
me when my friend tells me their jacket is re reversible. And then it was that song that was
like slow acoustic buildup and turn it inside out so I can see. What is that song? You're everywhere to me. And you're really for Tata.
No, that's she's married to the drummer from the Black Keys.
Michelle Branch.
And then she beat the shit out of him.
Well, he sucks, but she beat him up.
Yeah, I'm on her.
Michelle Branch beat up her husband.
She beat up a black key for for.
I hope she beat him up for ripping off the white stripes stick
Mm-hmm. That's what it was for. Geez. Didn't it didn't he what beat up one of no way Jack White beat up
The guy you've on bond on bond ease fun bond ease. That's right
whoo
Wait in these sleaze days, man. I was there
I was in the thick of it Green Day fought third-eye blind and the three guys from Green Day beat the shit out of the five guys from third eye blind.
Now I don't condone violence.
What? When did that happen? Beat the shit out of?
I like that.
Why did he fight in the three blind, three eye blind?
What is he saying? Third eye blind?
Four horsemen, three blind blind.
Four non-blondes, four horsemen.
Speaking of the third-eye blind,
I think maybe I sent it to you, Mike.
I saw a funny thing that tricked me
where it was like a fish performance
and someone had dubbed over the intro
of How's It Gonna Be by Third-Eye Blind.
And I was watching and I was like,
what the fuck, they covered this?
Do do do, do do do, do do do do.
I can't, there is so much, so many things I see online
that I'm like, I think this might just be AI.
I can't trust anything.
And I don't trust it.
I have an idea for my next version of this shot.
So this is pretty, we've had lime and whiskey before, right?
Would lime be good in here?
A lime, squozing lime?
Lime's never gonna hurt a drink, Mike.
That's what I'm thinking.
But there is like a whiskey lime thing,
or is it a scotch and lime?
What was that?
God damn, I just finished my remnant.
Oh wow.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of something
that'll give it more of a easy flow.
Easy listening? This drink isn't of an easy flow. Easy listening?
This drink isn't really an easy thing.
Pour a little Coke in there.
It's kind of the nature of the beast.
Hey, speaking of easy whiskies, I fucking
worked on the Emmys this year, and the sponsor
of the after party was Johnny Walker Blue Label.
Now, I've had Black Label.
I've certainly had red label.
Blue label's the fancy one, right?
The fancy one, that's in True Detective Season Two.
I've never had that.
Exactly, so I walk up to the bar, open bar,
and it's end of the night, I've eaten a lot of food,
so it only got a lot of room down there in the stomach,
so I'm gonna wanna just drink some liquor.
So I said, hey, can I have a Johnny Walker on the rocks?
Because it was like the Johnny Walker bar.
I was like, can I get a Johnny Walker rocks?
And the bartender was like, black label or blue label?
Shitty or really expensive.
Yeah.
And I was like, blue label.
It's open bar.
And it's like, yeah, that's the difference.
Ask me that again, I'm going to make you black label
and blue label.
Your fucking eyeballs.
Beat the hell out of you, sir.
If you ask me that again,
I'm going to reach across the bar and slap you around.
If you ask me that question one more time.
I saw a lot of people doing that.
I'll make your eye the color of that label.
You know what this reminds me of is I I wanted to watch Casa Bonita
Miamor the other night.
Are you familiar?
The beautiful house. My love.
You know that Trey Parker and Matt Stone bought the storied restaurant
Casa Bonita. Yes, yes, yes.
Colorado and I read a story about that.
And it's like a failed investment, right?
They lost a lot of money on the deal.
But not failed.
Just just extremely expensive in a way that only
two of the most successful men in Hollywood can afford.
They priced it at 20 million and well,
they bought it for 10 million,
restored it for like 20 projected
and then it ended up being like 40.
But now it's back open and sick.
And the documentary on it is incredible.
Check it out on Paramount.
But anyway, when I was I was like, man,
when they when they came out with Peacock and Paramount,
I was like enough of these fucking streaming services. Sure.
Paramount was when I drew the line. I'm not doing it.
And I said, you don't want to watch Digman.
I bought Digman on fucking Apple.
And I go, I watch Hulu.
Oh, wait. So I saw him like Paramount. The And I go, I watched Hulu. Oh, wait.
So I saw him like Paramount.
The only way I can watch this.
Okay.
And then they said free trial.
I said free trial.
And they were like, which one do you want?
Do you want the ones with no ads and showtime?
Or do you want normal ass Paramount?
And I said, for a free trial,
I want the ones with a showtime and no ads.
If you have.
I'm not gonna choose the shittier one.
I'm gonna cancel in six days.
I might as well get the one with all the bells and whistles.
Wait, so that's, wait, what were you watching?
Casa.
It's a documentary about the restaurant?
Yes, about Trey and Matt restoring the restaurant.
Yeah.
Guys, if we do, this winter, we're
going to do the Aspen sloppy boys, right residency
We're at a ski lodge and Aspen rockin every night of the week the whole winter to all the ski bunnies
And then we swing over to Denver we go to Casa Bonita and we were to record an episode the sloppy boys blowout there
We need to go there before before the doughboys or before podcast the ride go there. I fucking know. We need to, we need to, we need to scoop them.
We're always getting scooped by those guys.
Yeah, we gotta scoop them.
Yeah, we gotta scoop them.
Yeah, this is a, this is, we are,
this is a challenge now to those other podcasts.
Who will get to Casa Benita first?
Casa Benita!
We have to work it within our schedules.
We can't just go.
It's out there now, folks.
That's what's happening in the podcast world that you pay attention to.
Three podcasts are vying for the position of who will go there first.
We challenge them.
But then I'm sure somebody will get back to us and be like, podcast the ride went two
years ago.
Oh yeah, I know.
We challenge, we hereby challenge Doughboys and Podcast the Ride.
And we're not going gonna do anything about it
You fans get together and deal with it. You know what? I'll fucking throw in action boys, too
I don't give a fuck. Yeah action boys out while we're at it
I'm ice bucket challenge action boys doughboys and podcast the ride
I'll even will will get there before
What else comedy bang bang gets there? We'll get there before smartless else? Comedy Bang Bang gets there.
We'll get there before Smartless gets there.
Oh, way before Smartless gets there.
Yeah, we'll get there before The Daily gets there.
Sorry.
Yeah, we challenged The Daily to all that shit.
Ice Bucket 2.
Today on The Daily.
Casa Bonita today on The Daily.
Isn't it so nice to be, it's like,
we're in a huge community of really wonderful content.
Yeah.
No, I'm serious.
That's really wonderful content we have out there.
You know what?
A lot of it's for free.
Well, hold on, Jeff, a lot of it's for free,
which is so awesome.
It's so awesome, but there's a lot of work
that these podcasters put in,
a lot of them do it from their home, that's fine, but there's a lot of work that these podcasters put in. A lot of them do it from their home.
That's fine, but there's a lot of work involved.
And a lot of these podcasters get paid when they go behind their paywall.
Yeah, that's true.
So if you don't go behind the paywall, we start to lose money.
We start to maybe say, we're not going to do the podcast anymore.
We certainly won't have money to go to Casa Bonita.
Or do the Aspen thing.
Right.
I mean, you might even say that it's kind of a big test.
We're playing this big fat three and a half hour show
on New Year's Eve in Chicago.
I guess if that were to, I don't know, sell out
because people would fly in from all over the place,
not just the Midwest.
It's New Year's Eve.
You want to do something special, this is worth it.
And you don't use your miles, You pay good, hard money for it.
Yeah.
What the f-
Save your miles.
Use your miles on the airlines.
We don't have any interest in those.
Well, we should offer sloppy miles.
Use your miles and save your money for the merch table.
That's good.
That's good.
Yeah, do that.
Do that.
If we have fun in Chicago on New Year's Eve,
it's going to encourage us to do more stuff like this.
So therefore the Aspen residency might have.
I already, when I was in Toronto,
I already talked to people who are coming down
from Canada to come to that show.
So if you're in Chicago right now being like-
They're not crossing state lines,
they're crossing country lines.
Yes, right.
If you're in Chicago right now being like,
I don't know if I'm going to go to this.
Well, you got people from other states, other countries taking your ticket.
So bye.
We don't care.
We don't care if you're from Chicago with this show.
We want people there.
And furthermore, T-boy, Calpy K, pretty much your boy at this point.
I'm looking forward to this night for me, for my own enjoyment of my own New Year's
Eve. That's how excited I am
about this. I'm thinking I was going to wear either a bow tie or a top hat.
I'm so hard up for a New Year's Eve. I want to see the ball drop in full regalia. And also I've
heard that my bandmates are going to load me in to the show in a box.
Nobody cares. We're like, this is a box with Jeff in it. They're like, okay.
Yeah, we saw him a second ago. He was getting drink tickets from the front of house.
We can hear him inside the box. He's like, guys, let me out of here.
Can you help us get them out, folks?
It's a cardboard box from Uline. It's not a fun Taylor fake janitorial box.
His arms and legs and headers take it out.
All right. Do we make round two? fake janitorial box. His arms and legs and headers take it out.
All right, do we make round two?
Yeah.
I'm gonna do round two, but I'm gonna do that lime
I was talking about just to give it a little something.
Dude, I need something, cause that's kind of rough.
Yeah.
Tim?
I'm just gonna do another one.
Maybe I won't do a 50, maybe I won't do a 50 milliliter,
not 50, maybe I won't do half an milliliter, not 50, maybe I won't do half an ounce.
See, that's the thing about Tim.
Tim stares the dragon right in the fucking eyeball.
I'm just gonna do another one.
It feels like the point of this one,
like I have some sour mix and some cherries,
I could do something else, but I'm like,
I think you're supposed to have all these stupid things
all piled on top of each other and go, oh.
I think you're supposed to have a bad time.
But I had, I did that already.
I get it.
I hate it.
Now I'm going to do when I knew.
I heard of Buffalo when they see a storm, Mike,
they don't go around the storm.
They head through the storm.
Cause they know that that is the shortest,
that's the fastest path to get past.
Buffalo?
Buffalo.
Well, they've got, you know,
they got those big thick coats.
I got nothing.
Yeah.
Buffalo is not going to get scooped up by a twister.
I'm just a thin middle aged man and getting thinner, hopefully.
And Mike's susceptible.
Wait, Mike.
Yes?
He could get sucked up, Tim.
I'm bringing this up just to hold you accountable.
Oh, man.
I know.
September 20th, no, November 27th at the Lodge Room
in Highland Park, Los Angeles.
The night before Thanksgiving, we're doing an ab reveal.
Mike is gonna pull up the front of his t-shirt
and we're gonna look to see a six pack.
I gotta start getting serious about this because.
Yes.
I should say so. It goes in waves. I should say so about this because. I should say so.
Who's in waves?
I should say so at this point.
Well, he's being so hard on him.
Jeff, can you believe how much he's
doing so hard on himself here?
I can feel the abs in there.
I can feel it.
But there's a big bunch of fat in front of it
that I need to spurn through.
But the abs are coming.
The abs are in there.
You should freeze it off.
Free just a simple freeze it off
Yeah, just I might have to go back into ketosis for this one
We're gonna do ketosis we're gonna do cryo freezing of the fat
That was that's a good concept for a show like people come out to the lodge room
they buy a stage and we walk on stage and they're
like, we are within the state of Ketosis.
Welcome, welcome to the state of Ketosis.
That's a little theater of the mind.
It's like the far off tent at a traveling show.
You can see three men in Ketosis.
Also it's the last night of the tour.
There's no way, like we will have just spent a whole week drinking beer
and eating sandwiches. There's just no possible way.
I know. I know.
It's going to be tough.
You know, you know who you got to compete with.
This could be sort of your North Star, like John Cena.
I'm not one to say who your North Star should be, but
J.J. Abrams, Gracie Abrams.
She's online showing the abs. She's got abs for days. Who's Gracie Abrams? You know, Gracie Abrams. She's online showing the abs.
She's got abs for days.
Who's Gracie Abrams?
You know, Gracie Abrams? No.
Gracie Abrams daughter.
She's a pop star.
She's a nepo pop star now.
She's Gracie. She's J.J. Abrams daughter. Yep.
Everybody's nepo.
She's got Abrams daughter.
You got you got M.Night Shyamalan's daughters, a pop star.
And also smile is about a pop star. Gee whiz. And also, Smile is about a pop star? Like, are pop stars in this?
Heheheheh.
Are pop stars in the zeitgeist?
We talk about them every fucking episode,
of course they are.
It was Brad Summer, you fool!
I'm going to make another drink.
All right, all right, folks,
we're gonna grab another drink.
Did you guys know that David and Donna Kelpakis' son
is like a big time podcaster?
Yes, of course, fuck.
Folks, we'll be right back with more Sloppy Boys after this.
And we're back with round two of Four Horsemen.
And we're back with round two of Four Horsemen.
Guys, it happened starting the night with a shot. I feel drunk.
Me fucking too.
About my neck is red.
Look at my neck is red and I'm drunk.
Oh yeah.
I kicked off the night in secret with a Coors banquet
and just to sort of warm into the pod.
I want to hear about your shot.
The stubby little bottle?
Yeah, the stubby little guy.
Reminded me of a session or a red stripe.
Oh, session.
Yes.
I think so if you subscribe to the Patreon
or the blowout, you're gonna love the next,
this week's episode, which will be out
What the Wednesday before Wednesday, but know that we will be you know, we're pretty tank
I'm feel the same way you guys do so if you're like, oh, what are these guys like on the blowout?
Well take a I mean sign up and take a listen. They're a lot more fun because of we tape them after the
Thing yeah, sounds like it's gonna be fucking manic based on this episode.
Sounds like we're gonna let our guard down and be our true selves rather than
being uptight. I want to hear about your your your innovations for round two. Did
you do anything? Same. Yeah I did the same and then I added, I added,
I put an ice cube, big ice cube in there,
that's why it's so full.
For a shot?
Yeah, because I'm gonna take a big mouthful
and then just sip the rest,
because I don't need to prove anything here.
But then I added, then I added a,
let's see, it was a half ounce, no.
Yeah, half ounce of liquor.
No, full ounce of each liquor, so it's equal strength.
Half ounce of lime juice. Ooh, full ounce of each liquor. So it's equal strength. Half ounce of lime juice.
Ooh, full ounce of each?
Yeah, but that's the thing.
I'm not gonna like drink it all.
This is taking you to the bar.
He's gonna chug it.
All right, my innovation was make less of it.
Get it down to that ounce and a half.
So call me a pussy.
I love pussy, made a whole album about it.
Ha ha ha.
Self love. I appreciate your joke, Jeff, and I love Pussy. Made a whole album about it. Ha ha ha. Self love.
I appreciate your joke, Jeff, and I love the album.
You know that.
Hey, you are what you make an album about.
You are not a P dash dash dash dash.
If you don't take a full shot, that's ridiculous.
We're all old enough to realize.
Folks, be careful out there and don't hurt yourself.
Don't over-ambide.
And don't take a quick shot and puke.
I have something to say about drinking,
but after we do these.
Yeah, great.
Bottoms up.
Here we go.
Duh.
Boom.
See, that I could take.
That's a good, that's a shot.
Wow.
That's a half.
That's weird.
Woo hoo hoo.
That lime is weird.
See, that time, that one felt more bourbon centric.
D. Hey, of the four horsemen.
Yeah, I gotta say, Johnny Walker was the one where even pre pod, the pod was just a
twinkle in each of our eyes. And I was like, I'm done drinking Newcastle
and not knowing what I like to drink.
The birthday boy show was canceled.
Mike and I are in our Los Feliz Boulevard,
nice apartment.
Weeping.
And I'm thinking, weeping.
I was sad.
And I got, I was like.
Yeah, I was sad too.
It's okay to admit, I was sad for a long time after that.
And I was, got into Johnny Walker Black.
Mike, you remember, we might've even had
the bar cart back then.
I always had a little Johnny Walker Black on there
and I would pour a little on ice.
And it was my, kind of my foray into,
I don't just drink beers around the house,
I pour a little bit of something nice.
And my way in, it's not my go-to anymore,
was Johnny Walker Black.
It was my sign that dad is going offline.
He's on his own terms now for the rest of the night.
I got it.
I would spend the rest of the night in my room.
Couple of Ron Burgundy's over there, Scotch, Scotch, Scotch.
I remember Mike, you got into gin around that time.
You were like- Yeah, I was martiniing it up.
And Rossi?
Does gin pair with rum in any drinks,
in any tiki drinks? Never thrown gin in there.
If it's any, it would be Singapore, Singapore,
Singapore sling, I'm drunk, but no, that's just gin,
gin and pineapple and other stuff.
The tiki outlier, the gin tiki outlier.
Curious about a Tiki gin drink.
A split base, a split base.
I was thinking up something today in the liquor store.
I've seen all the liquors.
I said, you, you could dance with them.
Mikey, you can dance with them.
You're like Bradley Cooper in Maestro.
When you stand there at the liquor aisle,
you're this, this, and that, and this, and this.
And I'm smashing them all around.
Here's what Mike's getting onto here
that's actually really impressive.
Please explain your friend to me, Tim.
When I have martinis, you guys know I like Seagrams
and Gordons, I like a nice straightforward cheap gin.
And then sometimes we complain, all of us
say the top shelf botanical gins, they're very junipery, they don't really work in a martini.
But now I'm imagining what Mike's saying,
a tiki drink that has rum, and then if you get
like a botanical artisanal gin, that would work.
It's adding like some floral garden notes
to your tiki drink.
What botanical ginsins like what would be the brands
there that you're talking about?
Um, a mass like Bombay, Omaz Empress.
Oh, I like it. I got Empress.
The whole top shelf like the whatever's up there.
Hendrix. I can't reach that high.
Oh, I went to a liquor store today to get the
three of the ingredients today and I went to a liquor store I've been to but
not in a while and the most of the shelves were bare and I said you guys
going out of business or moving? He said we're just restocking. I didn't ask any
further. Take all the bottles off and put them all back on.
Well, I think he I think he meant like they got rid of a bunch of brands or
something. I was like, why?
This doesn't make any sense to me because some of the brands,
it was like a huge store. So it's like the room for a lot of stuff.
And they had like Bacardi, like brand new Bacardi's on the shelf
next to like nothing and then like really strange types of liquor I'd never heard
of. So I thought it was a going out of business sale because it was like just a lot of brands
I hadn't ever seen.
It's weird with liquor stores that like we've talked about it with grocery stores where
anything that's there, somebody's buying it.
You know, when I said there was a can of bread, like in the bean aisle, I found a can of bread
and it was like, they wouldn't stock it if somebody's not.
A can of bread in the bean aisle?
What store is this? A can of bread and it was like, they wouldn't stock it. A can of bread and the beat.
Hold on. Where's the manager? We found a can of bread and the beat.
The alert is a can of bread.
But at liquor stores, I am wondering, I mean, we famously at Circus Liquors in the Valley
saw a package of ice cream cones from 1992.
Covered in dust, a thick mat of dust.
But a lot of, when I'm at a liquor store, I'm like, this bottle of Drambuie, how long
is this sitting here?
And there's certain things that age well, but then when I was doing the research on
swamp water last week, it was saying chartreuse doesn't age well, but then when I was doing the research on swamp water last week, it was saying like, chartreuse doesn't age well.
You should buy it and you should drink it.
It loses flavor.
I bet a lot of these spirits on the shelf are just sitting there for a full decade and
no one buys them and then you got to restock.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaking of which, I came by a bottle the other day in my travels, and I said, I've been doing this podcast for four years,
and we ain't never used Frangelico.
Jeff, you're right.
It's never come up.
Frangelico, let me see what that looks like.
Hazelnut liqueur, I've had it.
And I love hazelnut.
I went to Disconso Gardens to see the Christmas lights,
and they put Frangelico in my hot cocoa and I loved it.
Frangelico, like the Franciscan monk looking guy.
That's gotta be.
This is a Miss Butterworth ass looking liquor right here.
Guys, we're doing monk month.
Let's do, let's find a good Frangelico for next week.
No, let's do it for the holidays.
Tim put it in his cocoa.
Yes, yes, yes.
Tim put it in his Swiss Miss.
I've ordered it as an after dinner sipper.
It's really nice.
This is going to be a good one to look up because.
We're putting your coffee in.
I'm just seeing an old ad for it.
It's like a monk holding the monk looking liquor bottle.
It's going to be funny to find out this is like from the 70s
and it was just like a weird.
That'd be good for monk month.
Monk month.
Monk month.
Put on your monk clothes and dance with me.
Put on your monk clothes.
Monk month.
Monk, monk.
Put on your monk robes and dance with me.
It's monk month, baby.
If somebody makes a boosness thing with that,
then we will do monk month, but only if somebody does that.
We're not doing a day.
Not just anyone.
We want Josh Joke-Nave or whatever his fucking name was.
Pete Funny Joke.
Sorry, Pete.
Get to work, dude.
We need to start putting these on our Instagram,
these songs with an image or something,
because these are good.
We'll tag you.
Well, we already do a thing where you can,
if you subscribe to a certain Patreon level,
you get the songs that we kind of bring on the pod
from our BVDs and from encounters with celebrities
out in the wild.
Those you can get your hands on at the $10 tier.
But we've never offered booze news themes.
Wow. What an untapped resource. Cause you, that's like, that's like when you jam a shovel
down to the ground and oil blasts up, you know? Yeah. Blast you in the face. Oh, I'm
James Dean and giant at this point. At this fucking point.
Or if you're a Fortnite fan, it's like
digging your ax in the ground and up comes a blue chest.
Up from the ground, kind of bubbling, bubbling brew.
Yeah, and sometimes if you're Daniel Plainview, you just get that oil.
Jeff, I just watched it.
It's a beautiful movie.
He's working on a new one with Leo Mike.
Huh? To forge.
Can you believe P.T. Anderson doesn't have an Oscar?
He's been nominated for almost every project for director or screenplay.
He doesn't have an Oscar.
Here's the thing. It's cool that he doesn't have an Oscar. That's cool.
I don't know if he agrees with you.
I hope he does. He agrees. That's cool.
PTA is working with Daniel Day.
No, no, with Leo, with Leo. He's working with Leo.
With Leo! Oh, even better.
I'm so happy. Tarantino's next movie is Brad Pitt.
The movie, the film critic.
We've got. Oh, there's a reason to stay alive.
There's a reason to live alive.
It stinks.
That would be if fucking Tarantino is doing an adaptation
of the critic TV show with Brad Pitt.
For my 10th movie, okay,
I'm gonna do an adaptation of the critic, okay.
That'd be awesome.
He should do something like that. Why the hell not?
Wait, what is Daniel Day-Lewis up to?
There was a story recently that he was coming out
of retirement.
It's been seven years and he's doing something again.
There was a weekend update joke about it.
Oh, I like him.
I can't remember whether it was Joe Sturce.
That's our show.
Follow us on social media at the Sloppy Boys
where we release these recipes ahead of time.
If you can even call us on a recipe,
if I'm being totally frank with you.
Ah, and you know you gotta follow us at,
oh boy, okay, actually take that out.
No, no, because Jeff.
Let him go, let him go, let him go.
Let him cook, we'll get it later.
No, no, I gotta stop the show.
We didn't say our final thoughts.
Oh, boy. He was on a roll. He was on a damn roll. No, he wasn't. show. We didn't say our final thoughts. Oh, boy.
He was on a roll.
He was on a damn roll.
No, he wasn't.
It was a misnomer.
Yep.
All right, all right.
Jeff, please post this.
Leave that all in so that people know
that Jeff is foulable.
Here's the thing, Tim.
It wouldn't bother me so much
if I didn't do this very same thing last week.
That's good.
People know that you're getting worse.
I did it even more confidently wrong this week.
No, this is good stuff.
I'm gonna say it's an order again,
but only when you're celebrating the fourth something.
Yeah, order again in the most appointment only.
Somebody else is gonna have to say,
hey, we're doing four horseman shots
and I'll have to be in quite a mood to say,
I'll be right there.
I can't believe I didn't remember the three wise men.
Me, formerly known as the memory man,
I have no recollection of that episode.
Memory man.
Wait, oh, okay.
But okay, I thought you were talking about
the three wise men from the Bible, like they had names.
No, the drink, the three wise men, I did not remember it.
That is weird. The memory man didn't recognize that too much time flying,
not too much time memorizing.
That's how I was the memory man was looking over the episode guide.
He puts in the work. That's the thing they don't tell you about memory, man.
It's not just a skill. He puts in the work.
That makes it way more sad.
He's very blue collar about his calling.
Folks, this-
Can I throw something out there?
No, I'm doing my final thought, Mike.
Jesus Christ. Please, please, please.
This is the most sacred of moments on the pod.
Yes, I know, I know.
You almost skipped it even though, but it's great.
Yeah, I almost skipped it.
This is not an order again.
This is a freak shot.
Now, I had a great time with my boys
as I do every week for the last four years.
But don't drink this.
Use each of those liquors better elsewhere.
Build back better.
Don't drink this by yourself.
Eat too.
Don't be at home.
Stop the podcast.
I got something interesting to say.
Ooh.
Okay.
We're stopped. I just got back from the airport and I took a,
I got back to from the airport and I, uh, the Uber I was taken home, uh, Charlie X X, by the way, I'm going to brat night anyway
Night one I'm drunk, but I have to say something interesting
I was riding in an uber and I the driver was this really cool guy and
I was talking to him Tim. I don't drive ubers Stop that and we had a it was a long drive hour and ten minutes
so we had a wonderful conversation
with this really cool guy who's like a,
a jazz radio host on KCRW.
And then he-
That's cool.
I just got a text from Sarah Silverman, my old boss.
And she said, I'm, I'm riding with that guy that you,
that she just rode with.
I- Get the fuck out of here.
I talked about Sarah to him.
He was like, what do you do for a living?
I was like a TV, I'm a TV writer and I told him a bunch of Sarah stories
That's fucking crazy. I still fucking donate to KCRW every month
I love KCRW you haven't lived in California for two years. It's but I don't even
