Acast helps creators launch, grow and monetize their podcasts everywhere. Acast.com 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 Michael Hanford. Yes, hi.

And Tim Kallpakis. What is up, Halloween style-ies. Oh, very good. And we are your host, the Sloppy Boys, going four years long, four years strong. Four years skeletal. Yeah. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

That's playing the ribs. Yes, yes, sorry, I had to turn on my AC unit. Oh my god. Are you guys, let me ask you this. I'm super stuffed up. You probably tell. I got bad. You ever get those bad allergies in the autumn time? No.

I get no allergies, Jeff. No, because the allergies are for pollen, Mike. There's no pollen. All the plant life is dying. What could you be allergic to? Leaves. Leaves. The dead pollen. The dead there's no pollen. All the plant life is dying. What could you be allergic to? Leaves, leaves. The dead pollen, the dead dust in the leaves.

The pollen comes back. Yeah, that's why it's so spooky this season. No, I don't know what it is, but every year, we started getting the fall weather sort of officially this weekend. Every year that happens, and then when it flips back to spring, I get like, oh, bad.

It's like a full weekend where like my head is stuffed. I do feel every time the seasons change, like every once in a while, I'll be like, oh, yes, my summer cold, that cold I get every summer when it goes from. Yeah. Oh, my house is dry now. I'll be sick for a few days. If it goes from nice to really nice, I get sick. Is that why Future Islands have that song?

Seasons change. I'll be sick from. Seasons change. I'll be sick for a day or two. Yeah, for a day or two. Yes, that is why he says that's why he said that. That's why. Oh, OK. Well, he sang it melodiously. You guys do any Halloween stuff this season?

Have you been to any haunts? We all know I went to an escape room. No, I still have not. My plan is to go to a haunted house, a haunted maze, but I don't know where. Go up to the Hudson Valley, go up to the haunted, the sleepy hollow hayride guy. I did do sleepy hollow last year or two years ago. It was, what a festival town that was.

Oh yeah. I did a Halloween thing. Yep. What'd you do? Bought a gourd. Did you cut it up? You know the kind. It's a pumpkin, but it's squat.

You know, the little tiny, tiny pumpkins, but it's squat. Oh, you really did buy a gourd. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, but it looks like a pumpkin, but it's squat. Is it big what you're doing with your hand there? It's like a hamburger, hamburger size. The size of a hamburger. And I put it down next to my welcome mat so it's just like a completely blank door and

welcome mat but there's like a small gourd. When you were trying to demonstrate the size of that cheeseburger sized gourd to us, you were kind of doing the heart shape with the two hands a little bit. I first saw Justin Bieber do that. Did he introduce that? Oh, I wonder if that's from Baby Ara Bieber. Baby, baby. Oh, I first saw it as a on sport, like a soccer players doing it.

Like for their celebration. Ronaldo. Messi. Then that was around the time that Messi would. That was around the time when that was like players were also doing Fortnite dances. So maybe it was a Fortnite thing. Oh, sick. Yeah, that was a good time.

Hey, do you guys ever see there's this heart, right? Where you're kind of. Oh, that's what we were talking about, right? I thought that was on the bottom. But then what's the other one where people do it like. Yeah, with the, with the pointy fingers. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's just fingers.

That's a little weird. I don't like that one. It feels very like a Bloods and Crips. It's less round like a heart. Yeah. This one's like angular. With your middle fingers pointing straight down and then your pointer fingers creating the humps. Yeah. You can get cut on that one.

Yikes. Yowch man. Yowikes. Yowch man. Yowch. Yowch man. It's a Halloween heart. The Halloween heart, yowch. Sing. Pumpkin, the Halloween heart.

It's also kind of crazy. This is our last episode of October, which then means we enter the month of November, which is the month where we have a West Coast podcast tour, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles. Go to our socials and get those tickets, folks. And then come on out, book your plane tickets for Chicago on New Year's Eve. That's going to be so fun.

And book a place to stay. You know, I've been, you know, I've gone to, and Tim has gone to Fish playing at New Year's, and what a fun thing it is to do. And folks, we're not gonna play Fish songs, that's not the whole point here. We're still gonna play Sloppy Boys songs. We're not gonna be playing Guy-a-Tee.

No, we're not gonna be playing Guy-a-Tee. One time we covered Suzy Greenberg one time. That's right, we did. Well, yeah, we did actually do that one time, but we won'tzy Greenberg one time. That's right, we did. Well, yeah, we did actually do that that one time. But we won't be doing it this time. We won't be doing it this time. Bouncing around the room, we won't be doing that. No, no, no, no.

No farmhouse. Farmhouse there for you to live. No Wilson. Well, but my point is, the point is it's always more fun to go to a concert rather than go to a dinner or something at your friend's house. And everyone's like, well, what else should we do? We're actually gonna get home a little early

just in case the weather gets bad. Oh, okay. I hate that. I hate that. I hate people being duds. That sucks when people do that shit. You hate duds? I'm with you.

I hate, I hate- You hate duds? No, I love duds. I hate duds? I'm with you. I hate, I, uh, I hate duds? No, I love duds. I hate duds. Oh yeah. If duds was a dud, I'd treat him like a spud. I'd put him in the ground. Back in the ground. He's a bit of a couch potato sometimes. Put him back in the ground.

Kill him? No, no, no. I'd let the head come up the top and just his roots would grow. Anyway, Tim, you were saying about- I have to say this. Let's say you're listening to this podcast. You have the best intentions, but maybe you are one of these people who was out on a Friday night, Saturday night, New Year's Eve, whatever, and you tend to be one of the people who's low energy, yawning, mentioning how you're tired.

Just go. Get the fuck out of there. I hate- Keep it to yourself. Keep it to yourself. you're tired, just go. Get the fuck out of there. I hate, I don't, I'm a guy who's now into my fourth decade on earth, I still like going out and being drunk. And if you don't want to be out there, get away. But I'm tired of people telling me they're tired. Don't you hate that?

Get the fuck out of here, I don't care. What are you doing? You know how stupid you look when you yawn? If you're a work though, and that's a bonding thing with people. I'm so tired. Oh, man. Oh, of course. Commiserating. I know it was a big it was a bonding thing with the members of the kinks when they go

I'm so tired. That's as a Beatles. Wait, oh yeah. Wait, is there a Kinks one though? The Kinks love that song, Mike. Wait, the Kinks I think have a tired song as well. They would all say it. I'm so tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for food.

That's the Kinks? I pray it's the Kinks, otherwise I'm just a dumb guy. You're a dud, you're one of the duds we've been speaking of. There's a lot of money to be made in these tired songs. I'm making fun of people for yawning, a normal human bodily function to get oxygen to your brain. And you can't even remember the kinks. No, what I was gonna say is,

the kinks did have like an early era that sounded like, like, I'm gonna say hermits. All day, and all of the night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hermits, hermits, hermits. All day, and all of the night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Quite angular. Yes. Franz Ferdinand-esque. Yes.

Now, Archduke, who was assassinated and started World War I? Watch what you say. He did not start it. Notim, the staccato rock band. Hold on, I can't let this slide. You know that the Balkans were a powder cake. I know about the Balkans. But Mike, you never seem to think about how the sinking of the Lusitania

is really in a way what got America involved. OK, you don't think I think that. You don't think I read the you don't think I read the Eric Larson book all about the Lusitania sinking from three different perspectives? Now, is Eric Larson the guy that also wrote Devil in the White City? That's right, baby. And we're going to be in the White City on December 31st? I implore you all to read that.

I got to, what was the name of that book? Hold on. It was the... I'm writing a pilot about these two brothers, Eric and Gary Larson, one does the far side comics, the other guy does the historical fiction. Dead Wake is the name, Dead Wake. Ooh, the story of the sinking of Lusitania. Was it covered up?

I don't think it was a cover up, but things could have been. Things could have been. It's not exactly out there. Yeah. Information could have been passed at different times. I don't know, conspiracy? I hate to use that word.

All right, all right. OK. Any other historical stuff to get through before we move on? Let me just say that I have an interest in elucidation and it's a thing. Later in months to come on this podcast, I'll say, hey, I wrote something about the Lusitania. Yes. You're really going to write something about it?

I am, but I can't reveal it yet. Okay, that's good. Good podcast. That's a good reason to keep on listening. Maybe I'll reveal it on New Year's Eve. Three, two, one. The Lusentania thing. I'm doing a Eric Larson book.

Okay, let's turn our attention to Boo's News. B-b-b-b-b-b-Boo's News, hit it. I was busy thinking about boys, boys, boys. I was busy dreaming about boys, boys, boys I was busy dreaming bout boys, boys, boys Had a sinnin' thinking bout boys Boy News was sent to us by Blair of the Blair Witch Project We don't know Could be, this weekend it could be Yeah, and if you have a Who's News team,

email it to thesloppyboyspodcast.gmail.com. I chose that song because boy, that's kind of an iconic, scary story I told from my youth on an episode of the Sloppy Boys Blowout. Yeah, I got a lot of mileage out of that one. Subscribe to the Sloppy Boys Blowout, $5 a month, and I don't know what episode, but I once I'm told a long 20-minute story

about my old lady neighbor who would stand in the front and yell to me, bye. Bye. You think last October maybe was that a scary story? Hopefully. Bye. Yeah, probably. You know what? I'll slug it in like a little quote thing here. Yeah, I like when we do that. Folks, it's from the Reanimator blowout October 25th, 2023. Now Tim was there booze news to be shared? Oh yes. I have two pieces here. One really quick little banger sent to us by Slophead, Matthew Bozek, dollar zombies at Applebee's

this time of year. So if you want a spooky cocktail, go to Applebee's, have dollar zombies. That sounds irresponsible. Applebee's. What are you doing? Dollars zombie. Wait a minute. How big is this? It looks like a big old blue. It looks like a Aussie jazzy before you add the shark attack.

I have a feeling they're not as strong as Don Beach's original. That's where they get you. Yeah, the zombie you're only allowed to have two of. Right. Exactly, Jeff. That we fight about movies is like we have the same thing too. So just $2 for us, then we'll give you two drinks and that's the end of it. We just need to get rid of this blue carousel.

No not enough people bought the Aussie jazzy from other restaurant restaurant, from our other restaurant, our sister restaurant. Hey, have you seen that deal? I think it's a Chili's. It's like a burger, fries and a drink for 10 bucks. Damn, that's unheard of. That's the new McDonald's. McDonald's is like more than that. Yeah, fast food has gotten has crested the $10 mark.

Kind of weird. That's why Chili's is stepping in and saying, hey, us too, but better ingredients. Yeah, perhaps. All you got Chili's is stepping in and saying, hey, us too, what better ingredients? Yeah. Perhaps. All you gotta do is park and come inside. Chili's $10 burger meal with drinking fries. $10 burger meal with drinking fries. Okay, now here's the thing that I,

this unfurled to me, a slophead DM'd me, and this, I'm sharing this in the Halloween show because I was shocked and frozen and couldn't believe my eyes. And if there's a moment in your life where you can't believe your very eyes, it's sort of Halloween-esque in a way. Okay.

So Slophead, Matt Malemsetter. Okay, we had Matt Bozek, now we got Matt Malemsetter, Halloween ask you to wait. Okay. Yeah, so Slophead Matt Malem setter, okay. We had Matt Bozek now we got Matt Malem setter the big big week for the Mets Malem setter, that's a unique name. I've never heard that. Yeah before I don't like it Sorry Matt number two you're out. Okay, so I You guys got your phones out cuz I'm gonna text you pictures as I walk you through what happened. He says, hey, check this out. Somebody gave me this book as a gift. I just texted it to you, it's called, you see it.

What's it called? Craft Cocktails Made Simple. Yeah. Mm-hmm. And then he says, oh, and I said, okay, what's the deal? And he says, well, you might said, okay, what's the deal? And he says, well, you might want to know, here's the table of contents.

I said, okay, Malem Seder, what do you got? All right, so this is another text coming in. I texted you the list. All right, now I'm looking. Oh, now you're looking down the list of cocktails, are you not? Yes, I am. Anything catching your eye?

They are all. Oh, my God. What the fuck? Got a lawsuit on our hands. When did this come out? Well, we should say all these are nearly all these are recognizable. But one drink in particular, the Calpe cordial sticks out. Oh, really? Only one drink is there, perhaps a second drink. Oh, and the Russian root too. That's what I'm talking about.

What the fuck? Oh, and a Southern sipper. Booze. What is this? Can you believe this? I don't understand the, I don't know the backstory. I don't know how, what, why, even where. These are in print.

These have been published. Interesting. So when we say on the pod, oh, this drink first appeared in this old ass dusty text, people are gonna be saying that about the Russian root, like, oh, it appeared in craft cocktails made simple 2025. So, yeah, whoever is the author of this book is the new Harry Craddock and Harry McAlone.

I wonder if this is AI. That's what I'm wondering. No, no, that's what I wondered. OK, so basically this guy who got this book. Jeff, AI happens all around us. Yeah, OK. OK, this guy has said that he didn't know what the deal with the book was, but then

I'm looking, I find a copy of the book on eBay and I've ordered it, it hasn't arrived yet, but it's called Craft Cocktails Made Simple by Tommy Marshall. Isn't Tommy Marshall that rapper? No. Tom Marshall? Yeah, wait. Yeah, what's the song that's like... Yeah, Million Dollar Baby?

Yeah. Tommy Richmond. Damn. Well, Marshall amps are also a music thing. So you can see how I- Marshall Mathers. Marshall Mathers and the rock opera Tommy. So I got to go confused on that front, but okay.

So I ordered, I mean, it was one of these purchases where the book was 579 and then shipping was 499. So- one of these purchases where the book was 579 and then shipping was 499. So Tom Marshall, Tom Marshall, uh, is a, uh, uh, co, often co-wrote a lot of the fish songs. Tom Marshall. That's how I knew that name. I was wondering, is that, is this AI right? It's got three sloppy boys create. If you don't know folks, Mike created the Russian root years ago then I created the uh the Calpe cordial and the southern sipper and then now we're seeing them

pop up in this book now he sent me some and the descriptions are like are like kind of like uh what we said about them on the kind of like like the Russian root one is like, don't serve on the, or put a, what does it say? Yeah, do not put on ground. Yeah. So that, so, so the Calpe cordial description is pretty straightforward. And then the Southern sipper one has a kind of a joke. It says best served with the TV turned off and enjoyed over good conversation or contemplation with yourself. Because I said you're supposed to sit on the front porch and think about your regrets. No mention of graves on the horizon. Yeah, looking across the yard into the graves of your wife and kids.

And regretting you could have stopped at all, but you didn't. But then I feel like this description for the... This makes me think it's a real life human slop head that it said. Yeah, I think so too. Just the Russian description. A no- no nonsense alternative to fussy cocktails. This drink just makes sense. That's a Mike Hanford reference. This just makes sense, right?

You didn't have a whole bunch of Instagram sketches, where like, why do I have this product? It just makes sense. Interesting. And then whatever you do, don't serve it on the ground. So that's not AI. That is a Mike Hanford fan. So Tommy Marshall, show yourself.

Show yourself. Show yourself. Something's a little weird though. I'm not seeing any mention of a black lagoon or a Yule mule. Jeff, if you want to be in a book called cocktails made simple, maybe don't include teriyaki sauce, eel sauce, eel sauce and molasses. It's pretty simple. I looked at, I was in my room.

I saw that black strap molasses and I was like, why do I have this? All right. Will I do anything with this? No, no, no. You got to put it, what do you put, put on waffles or something. Michael, don't keep molasses in the fridge. That's a novice move. Let it go bad. The molasses is out of the fridge.

Oh, because it's like it would get too hard. It's thick enough as it is. Well, I don't know what to do with it. What can you make with molasses? A cookie. Jeff puts it on waffles, right? I toast, put peanut butter on it, put a banana on it, drizzle a little molasses on it. Hup, hup, hup.

Okay, now what do we do for those who are trying to keep carbs light in their routine? Straight molasses, brah. Oh, all right. Take me forever. All right, this is really cool. Kraft cocktails made simple. There's real photos of it that have been sent to us.

Yes, cool and curious. The cocktail's made simple. There's real photos of it that have been sent to us. Yes. Cool and curious. And self-published by some sort of a pirate. Rather odd. Tim, you're getting your, now all we can do is wait. It feels like a Stephen King novel, though. What if we find out that this person is going to kill us and break our foot?

Hey, not unlike Misery, the movie we talked about on the blowout two weeks ago. Oh, I gotta listen to that. I subscribe $5 a month. Oh, then you should have every single episode we've ever done. You gotta listen. Plus the extra blowouts, where we have a lot more fun.

Yeah, listen up, folks. This is low energy Jeb Bush stuff. We get really zipped up on that one. Yeah, baby. Let's fucking go. All right. Is that it for booze news? Yeah. Give us a spooky wrap up. Bye. Oh, shit. Bye. Oh shit. Bye. Nice. Kind of funny if you, you know, when you hear a church organ go, you know, like a Transylvania

kind of sound. I think of Donkey Kong. The first person that wrote that was just, they weren't trying to be like, oh, this is like Dracula, or whatever. They were just kind of trying to write a pop song. Yeah, they were like, oh, I got myself a hit. And everybody goes, oh, we love that song. It's so scary.

No, it's a hit. No, it's make your booties bounce at the club. Ha ha ha. De de de. Well, we're going to pair it with this ghoul myth that we have in our town. Oh, shit. You're going to pair it with this ghoul myth that we have in our town. Oh, you know what? Shit.

Oh, that fucks my shit right up. Well, let's turn our attention to the drink of the day, shall we? Yeah. Hmm. Well, the drink of the day on this Halloween season. Oh, I don't know, the vampiro. ["The Vampiro March"] ["The Vampiro March"] You're scared?

I had a cat hiss at me the other day. You ever have that happen to you? Black cat? Were you provoking it? No, I just walked by near it and it was like, it was like, oh, I'm doing it again. I thought that was a snake, man. Maybe that cat thought you were a dog.

Yeah, yeah. Well, he's a dog. I'm a dirty dog. Yeah, that's probably it. Okay, the vampiro I have not had and I have vaguely heard, but I didn't really totally I have a visual even of what it was but we said I said guys I think there's a drink called the vampiro that could be good for Halloween had you heard not not heard I

don't believe I'm much and Piro I've heard that word before maybe we've basically had a deconstructed vampiro but more on that later. In a way. Jeff, do you... we're not allowed to talk. You're referring to the presence of... you're talking about sangrita which was the red juice that I made a big batch of for our bandera episode. Sangrita very commonly in Mexico used as sort of like a chaser or a mixer with tequila. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

And it's tomato and citrus and a little pepper. Yeah, fruity. There's a lot of different ways to make it, a lot of different ways to make it. A little pepper. But for this vampiro drink, this comes from Mexico, from San Luis, Soycatlan, Mexico. It was invented at a fruit cart by a fruit cart guy named Oscar Hernandez. So he's got all this stuff around, you see. He was selling all, you know, if you subscribe $5 a month and listen to the sloppy boys blow, we did an episode about Mexican fruit carts.

We love them. But if you didn't subscribe, sorry folks, you can't listen and you're left out like a loser. Think about those carts we went to. He's got the fruit, but he's also got the chamoy, the tapatio, the tahini, all the stuff around there. Do you think he was ever pushing that cart down the street and he rolled over someone's shoe and they're like, excuse me. What was his name again?

Oscar Hernandez. Excuse me, Oscar. I've heard of a fruit by the foot, but fruit on the foot. Would you move your fucking cart? Yeah. Hold on. I'm looking at his bio and yes, that happened. Yeah, it happened. It didn't say who said it to him or just didn't say who that guy was, but it definitely happened to Oscar Hernandez. Yes. He parked on his foot.

Ouch. Yowch. Yowch. Yowch. Ooh, you're reminding me of misery again. Ooh, fuck, that was a month of slumping. Ooh, just saying ouch like that. So he was selling his fruit at his fruit cart down in Mexico and then this was a drink that

he would make for himself while he was hanging out selling his fruit. And because it was red as blood indeed, he called it a vampire, vampiro. And then some of the regulars that bought fruit from his fruit cart a lot were like, what do you got there? And he's like, oh, it's a vampiro. I'll make you one. And he was making them, only the people that were in the know that were like regulars. But then they started ordering them a lot.

Then suddenly he starts to say, hey, I'm full on just selling these vampiros. Then they catch on. Then they blow the fuck up. Then they're at bars across Mexico. Now bars all over the place, even to the point where the Differents Cocktail Guide calls it the national drink of Mexico. Wow. So who's this guy?

He's selling fruit, but he blows up selling a vampiro. Am I getting that right? Yep. It's sort of like the main feed podcast is the fruit and the blowout is the vampiro. Right. We're doing that just for ourselves. Oh, are you interested in this? $5 a month. We don't really sell this per se, but I guess if you're into it. Now don't be confused because this episode is called vampiro,

but the blood is more like the vampir. Yeah, that's very confusing. Well, what's the drink that we had that was bandera shot? That's the one I'm thinking of. Yep. So that's Sangrita first came on the pod. That's how you batched it. And we did bang, bang, bang down the line.

Right. So this dude is basically just making his own. There's so many different recipes for Sangrita. And this guy was just had all the stuff. So he's just mixing this up himself with some, some tequila, but, and here's the thing. If you get these at the, the fruit carts, street carts in Mexico, they put a lot of tequila.

And another cool thing is much like Oscar Hernandez, they still quite often serve them in a plastic bag, like at a fruit cart, you ever get a coke water from a fruit card guy? He pulls it into like a clear sandwich bag and gives you a straw poked into a bag. Yeah. Oh, I feel like I have seen that. That's pretty weird to me. Those are tough. Those are tough to handle. It's so when you order this at a bar, they give it to you in an old fashioned glass. But when you order this from a fruit vendor, they'll give it to you in a bag bag.

Straw. That's even more bloody looking. If I have a bag, I'm going to I'll give it to you in a bag. Bag straw. That's even more bloody looking. If I have a bag, I'm going to, I'm going to make mine in a bag. A bag of blood. I mean, you can't put it down. Um, okay. So we're going to use the recipe, uh, from different guide and which is sort of a paired down the, uh, cocktail guide version of this. And fucking, let's see, I mean you can use whatever,

say you could buy Stormade Sangria for all I care. It's usually like OJ and tomato or pomegranate juice and tomato, something like that. But here on the Sloppy Boys podcast, we're going to do two ounces Patron Reposado Tequila. I don't know if it's true, but I do have Reposado. Yeah, same. Ha ha.

Two ounces of that. Then one ounce tomato juice, one ounce OJ, a joise de l'orange, half ounce joise de lime juice, half ounce grenadine or pomegranate syrup of course, seven drops hot pepper sauce. I'm going to do tapatio. Could be chalula. Could be whatever you got. I got tapatio too. Could it be crystal, Tim? Tim, could it be crystal? Yes, but that is Louisiana hot pepper sauce. Just so you know. One pinch sea salt, one grind black pepper, shake all ingredients with ice

and strain into an ice-filled old-fashioned glass or I'm adding the caveat plastic bag and that's what I'm gonna do. Is this all gonna fit into a old-fashioned glass? Damn. Sure. You're right that's kind of a... well no the last few things are just pinch drop and... Pinch drop and grind. You're right. That's kind of a, well, no, the last few things are just pinch drop and. Pinch drop and grind. You're fine. Pinch drop. Four, we're talking about five ounces here.

Pinch drop and grind. All the time. Pinch drop and grind. That's pretty good. That is good. Pinch drop and grind. We'll call the song Vampiro. All right. Wanna go make these up? Yeah. And I might actually,

because it's Halloween, I might make mine in a hollowed-out gourd Go right I believe when I see it Tim well Halloween hamburger as they say Heart-shaped Halloween hamburger all right folks here come the ads we're gonna go pinch drop ingrained Pinch drop and grind.

Oh, the bag, Jesus Christ. Put that thing down, I don't want to look at that thing. Yeah, that looks like an old mushed apple in there. Mine looks like a tequila sunrise in a bag. Mike, yours looks beautiful. Yeah, I know, but why doesn't yours look this red? Did you use roses? I bet you used roses.

Yeah, roses, yeah. Jeff, what'd you use for grenadine? This is like a little slightly fancier one because they didn't have roses. I wanted roses, but I got- Okay, I have the same one as you then. It's like pomegranate. Yeah, it's called like pure pomegranate

or like real grenadine. As I was making this, I have the same one as you then it's like pomegranate. Yeah, it's not like pure pomegranate or like real grenadine As I was making this I was like this is gonna taste a lot like a bloody Bloody a sweet bloody but then I like the grenadines gonna do something. Yeah, yeah a bloody Maria Shall we yeah, we shall yes sips Zing pals anger z zanger, zing, zing, zing. Ooh. Ooh. Tart and tangy.

I like the sweet on top. I don't know. Oh, Mike doesn't know. Mike is unsure. You know, I'm unsure a lot of the time the first time we take some of these drinks. Or sometimes we go, ooh, no thanks. But you know how sometimes we say like,

oh, it's got an ice cube, maybe it's got a mellow out a little bit. That also might not be the case. Maybe it's just like, when I taste it, I had no idea with like, I thought it was gonna be very Bloody Mary-ish. And it's got a very different taste. So I think sometimes when I go,

or any of us go, ooh, whoa, it's just cause it's different. Maybe it's not what you expect. And then you take a few more sips and you go, exactly, exactly. Yeah, you got to get to know it. This was my, whoa, whoa, whoa, was neither good nor bad. I'm still just taking in just how many zaps all over the place because I definitely,

I'm getting reposado. Like I used, I used ha ha. I used a tequila that we were gifted in El Paso called El Perro Grande. It's in that Chihuahua bottle. Thank you very much, folks, to El Perro Grande. Yeah, I was going to say you had one of those. Yes, yes, yes.

Let me get mine because I just got a good one from a nice liquor store. I want to tell you about it. I'm tasting the smoky, woody reposado type of thing, but then I'm also lime is shooting me this way. Grenadine shoot me that way. Tapatio shoot me this way. Pang and I'll ping, ping, ping, ping. You're like a bullet that goes bounces off the walls

and then through somebody's sombrero in a cartoon. Mm hmm. I used for my hot sauce. I found some hot ones. Caliente. Oh, remember that one we got Caliente was that the first level is the rojo one. Oh, that's good. This isn't a reposada what I got. It's a it's a rat type of tequila here. Look at this. You ever seen this?

It's clear. Yeah. Blanco. It's Blanco. And yeah, the guy sold me it, man. I was like, I need a tequila. And I just, I don't want to get the usual just like Jose Cuervo.

And he's like, all right, all right. Here's a couple. And he told me the stories behind. I was like, oh, okay, good, good. This one. Seeing the prices were the same. I was like, oh, okay. Good. Good. This one Seeing the prices were the same I made the decision on this one. Oh That is interesting Yeah, I don't love this it's giving chamoy, mm-hmm

Yeah, I mean, I'm anytime I can have hot sauce in my drink, I'm happy. It's still, it hasn't, like, I'm enjoying it, but it hasn't congealed into one new thing. I'm still tasting flavors this way, flavors that way. Yeah. Are you better off splitting it into three glasses and feeling like you have a story arc or something? Like, I take sips of this and I'm like, cool, what else? I'm like, nah, this is just it. It's all in one glass.

Enjoy it. Remember when we did the Bandera, Mike for round two dumped them all into one glass and basically was drinking this. Yeah, basically. Yeah, I didn't love that either. I think the tomato based drinks, so we're recording this at,

it's almost nine o'clock where I am. That's kind of weird time to be drinking this stuff. How so? This is a blazing in the hot sun fruit cart Mexico day drink. Yeah, but this episode is more like tomato after dark. After dark. Tomato.

Joie's du Tom. Also a vampire would never have one during the day. That's true. It could have been a very early morning. What do you think? Vampires, did they? Does it does it start with the tale of Dracula or was it folklore before that? You think I'm going folklore. Folklore. Vampire is old, old guy, right?

Yeah. Vlad the Impaler. Vampire is old guy, right? Mike, are you proud of the way you worded that? No. Yes. So you remember Vlad the Impaler, he would drink his enemy's blood. Oh, the actual Vlad the Impaler. Yes. Was he a warlord? Yes. Died in 1476. Yowza.

There are stories of like people in the US or in like colonial New England and stuff, thinking there was like a vampire scare, probably along with the like witch hunt. And they would go into people's graves and like, and then kill them, you know, second time. Go into people's graves and kill them, a little bit redundant dudes.

And put a spike through their heart. What was left of it? Who would do that? This is like in New England. I remember hearing some podcasts about this, like in the colonial times, there was like a vampire scare. So they would they would go. People, I guess, would say they would see like people that were already dead,

like still milling about. So they go digger these people up and put a stake in their heart. That's funny, because like I bet you, you know, there's doppelgangers and lookalikes. But if you've only ever seen 200 people and then you see another person that looks like one of those 200 people, you're like, oh, yeah, we got to go put a stake through that guy's heart. I haven't seen enough humans for there to be a repeat like man in the iron mask and a lot of like,

you know, Hercule Perot books or Sherlock Holmes books, they'll, they'll rely so heavily on someone like having a doppelganger or like, Oh, he was a disguise. Like disguises now can't trick us. If I, if we see somebody in the disguise of like the 1800s, it's like putty noses. When something's held up as great literature and having leaned on something, I mean, like Shakespeare very commonly uses potions

and you're like, this is the best writer of all time and he's like, oh, a magic potion did it. And it factors in like, central to. Potion. Romeo and Juliet is all about the potions. He took the sleeping potion and then she thought he was dead and she took the potion and then she was dead and he didn't know the potion.

Yeah. Shut the fuck up. Yeah, you wonder if like Shakespeare, was he that popular and studied in his time? Or he was just popular. So like if you took- Popular. He was like for real.

The Marvel. The Marvel movies are popular, but in years from now, people will be like, oh yeah, I can see how this was high level art. Well, they might think that Thanos's hand is stupid. No, they wouldn't even think that. No, they wouldn't think that. If they're like me, they think it's cool as fuck. It's got the gems on it after all.

Did you ever punch someone with that hand? I know you would punch the ground and kill half the Earth. No, the big thing was a snap. He snapped with it on, if you can believe it. Killing half of organic life on Earth. Those are high stakes. Honestly, if we're going to be, I don't want to use my geek shit time on Thanos.

I like Thanos. I'd like you to use your geek shit time, Jeff, and explain to me why Thanos and Cable are the same actor. What's Marvel and what's Fox? Jeff, you have you have seven minutes of geek time. What do you want to talk about? We love I got to prepare it. You can't spring this on me. This is huge.

This is this is great. Why don't Jeff, why don't we do a another tier? You know, put it on a higher tier in the patreon and it's seven minutes in heaven Jeff you talking about geek shit for seven minutes. You'd have any guests on you get Tim on me anyone you want Oh, I could have you guys on geez Yeah, for seven minutes you'd want someone to tolerate your jabber for seven minutes when you I'd have not a jber, just jabber.

I'd have Hugh Jackman. No, I'm going to, I'm going to save up. I'm going to like put together a geek shit thing. You're going to love it. I'm going to turn Tim. I could have sworn I wrote down an idea for a sloppy boys blowout. Oh yeah. Barbecue.

No shit. Did you think of that on your Casey trip? No, I was kind of thinking about when I got back and it was making me want to go to Texas for Texas is my favorite style barbecue. So I was thinking, we would all eat test Texas brisket. In Texas. You know, me and Jeff would go to Blood Zos in Hollywood. And Mike, you would go to hometown in Red Hook, Brooklyn. And we would have some authentic Austin style brisket.

Let's do it. Do they have like, is that like with cornbread and what's it worth their sides? I'm not a side guy, but yes, cornbread. Dang, sounds good. I like not a side guy, but yes, cornbread. Dang. Sounds good. I like a little food adventure. Tim, we just went to late night.

So late they barely gave it to us. Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. Oh yeah. Ooh. I only went there once. It was good. I feel like I've gone like twice over a decade and we were in Hollywood. We'd just seen Joey Valence and Bray

and we went to the Frolic Room, which is like the drawing room of the Hollywood proper. Yes. On the way home, we were like, I'm starving, let's get some food, but let's not just get Postmates Taco Bell. Let's get something Hollywoody, because we're in Hollywood.

And we walked into Roscoe's and they were like, no, to go only. Because we stumbled in and then we took it all back to my place. And it went great. It went great until it until. Why does that look great? Somebody spilled gravy on my rug. No meat. Yes. Do you not remember that?

I do remember this, but it's funny, because now I'm like, well, I cleaned it up, but I'm like, oh, I probably did such a bad job cleaning that up. Gravy, oosh. Does your house smell like gravy? No, it's fine. I got a little on it, but this was a two

in the morning clean up where. Oh, that's the worst. Walking back in, I was like, you know, I'm not a guy who even takes the shoes off in the house, but I do care about my little rug. Gravy on my rug, yeah. But I do not spill gravy all over the floor. And I remember we were watching, you know,

whatever bullshit and eating chicken and waffles, eating waffles with your hands with syrup is, it just feels insane. And then I was like, well, this isn't gonna be too messy. And then I heard like a kathunk and a styrofoam styrofoam thing was on its side with gravy on the road. Oh, thick, dark, fatty gravy on the flat weave. Yeah. Oh, jeesh. I was very drunk and my vision was impaired and the problem was also I was cleaning it up. This was like very beige looking gravy, almost more like

it looked like the country breakfast kind of gravy. and the problem was also I was cleaning it up. This was like very beige looking gravy, almost more like, it looked like the country breakfast kind of gravy, but it wasn't. It was light beige chicken gravy. And Jeff, your rug is like light beige as well, kind of, right? Yeah, it's actually kind of, it's okay. So I was dabbing, like thinking I got it all, but like.

And you knocked over. And he was dabbing like the victory pose. Yeah. But I mean, I didn't use any cleaning products or anything. I just blotted and was like, I don't see no stain. I'm going to keep on watching. What was it, Jeff? Daft Punk music video?

It was Interstellar 5555. I don't see no stain. Well, in the harsh light of day, I saw chunks of gravy in my flat weave. Actual 3D chunks. My flat weave has gravus chunks. That was a funny thing where Roscoe's, you make fantastic fried chicken. I had four chicken thighs, that was my order,

and they were so good. But the waffle, it's a very straightforward waffle, like a thin floppy waffle you would get anywhere. Damn near Eggo, damn near Eggo. Really? Shallow and flat. And Eggo would have a nice little crisp to it coming out of the toaster.

But I was also just thinking, it's a sign of the times that when we were new to LA, I was like, I had heard of Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. I believe it's name checked in Jackie Brown and stuff like that. It was an iconic place and you're like, fried chicken and waffles, that's crazy. And I got them on the same plate and I remember hearing like Obama likes this place. And I like Obama. It's weird that that's one of those ones like Nashville hot chicken or smash burgers or whatever the fuck that had such a moment as like a past appetizer at a work event or something.

It's no longer like this novelty to have chicken and waffles. So I kind of noticed that the waffles were mid the first few times I've been there. I was like, this is crazy. I'm having syrup and waffles. So I kind of noticed that the waffles were mid, the first few times I've been there, I was like, this is crazy, I'm having syrup and waffles and chicken. Now I'm like, I've had better waffles with my fried chicken. Yeah, like I feel like bougie places, even though it didn't start out like a wildfire trend

the way that Nashville Hot did, or maybe it did and we were just too young to know. Lord knows plenty of fads passed us by when we were new to Los Angeles. Hey, and still passing us as we speak. It's passing us right now. But imagine you got your Roscoe's, they're doing it. But if you go to a bougie place and they have a big ass Belgian nook and cranny waffle with some chicken on it, I mean, that's gonna be a better version.

You find yourself sitting in one of the crannies eating around you. Like, what? Get me out of here. What around you. Like, what? Get me out of here. What were you guys seeing before that? You said you went to what? I was a silly hip hop duo. Joey Valence and Bray.

Ooh, that's fun. Mookie led the charge, but I like him. Over at, where are you guys? Over there at, across from the product room, the Fonda. The Fonda, the Jane Fonda Theater. Ooh, Jeff, where I almost got trounced by a Yeah, yeah, yes for a fan We got a play there giving me an eye the whole time yeah, we got it

I would play just on the roof. We went up on the roof. You would play there I would play on the stage to a sold-out every night of the week. Sure. Just on the roof. They've got a whole stage down below. Love that frolic room though. Iconic dive bar. Yeah, that is a cool one. Very cool. That was my first time, I wanna say.

If I go to a Pantages show, you know I'm going to frolic room. Was Hamilton at Pantages? Cause we had friends who's just coming out of Hamilton. That's where I saw it Mmm. I haven't seen oh, it's back. I saw it there. I really enjoyed it Hamilton Hamilton is history rap and you if you like rap is the history rap and you if you like rap you could give a crap. Remember when Josh Fadim did a Hamilton thing and I think it was... Hamilton Hamilton Spamilton.

It was like Hamilton Bramilton Slamilton. He was doing it for... In a stand-up. I don't know something Bugmane was up to. No stand-up. Man you write a musical and you get to do that shit for like a decade huh? Yep. You know if you if you write a musical if you do Book of Mormon or you do like a decade, huh? Yep. What? Yeah. You know, if you if you write a musical, if you do Book of Mormon or you do Hamilton or something like that, like it's brand new for years.

Oh, yeah. Years like because not enough shit comes through there. And if you write a good one, you milk that for like a decade. They're not making a Book of Mormon movie. Like Book of Mormon is still going. Yeah, specifically why? Like the reason we don't have a Book of Mormon movie is that the touring company still makes so much money.

As soon as that Peters out, we'll get a movie and like there will be the Hamilton movie. There'll be all these movies in due time. Is there a pavement musical? I think there is. I think Angela Trimber. Darling, don't you go down to Broadway. Angelo did like the choreography for a video for them or something like doesn't seem like super unlikely. Yeah.

Like, you know, Green Day doing a musical. I get that. But pavement doing a musical that strikes me as odd, but it does sound familiar. Alicia Keys has a musical on Broadway right now called Hell's Kitchen. Broadway. I. Broadway. I say Broadway. Broadway. Broadway. Broadway. That's why I'm not on Broadway because I can't un-ciate. That's like Scooby Doo. Broadway?

Hey, yeah, Scoob. Speaking of Scooby Doo. What? The people that attended the Sloppy Boys Watch Party live stream recently got a look at our new music video. That was... Oh, they got an eyeful. All right, Tim. It was a Scooby-Doo style animated video from the Sloppy Boys. That watch party was fun. We had a blast. We got to do more. We're thinking the Christmas. You're drinking the eggnog. You're watching old Christmas specials. A holiday live stream. I wonder if there's a way, is there a way to do like a gift exchange type thing on that? Like if we have like,

okay folks, here's the gift, who the gift swap or something. I don't know if you can do that. I know that the slopeds are already doing a white elephant or secret Santa type things on the Discord. That's right. I think that's where I got the idea. That's where you got the idea. Mike, you had a great idea on Fortnite the other night. You were like, hey, we should try to do a thing where you and me and Tim do a Secret Santa thing. And I think you need to have four people minimum,

because if I draw Mike, I know Tim has me, right? It just goes around in a circle. Because there's no way I would have Tim and Tim would have me and you'd have yourself. Yeah. But then I was like, well, then maybe we just get gifts for each other. What if we each get a gift for ourself?

I have a little idea for each of you. Yeah, I got something for you, Jeff. For you, a big Ludwig, a brand new Ludwig drum kit Jen Tim for you a brand new fender Amp isn't it funny that we say Ludwig even though we know it's Louie we say Ludwig Ludwig Ludwig Ludwig wait, it's Louie and Ludwig is pronounced Louie. Yeah, Louie Vaughn. I say Ludwig Ludwig Yeah, that's probably more proper More proper Louie is a different name than Ludwig. Ludwig.

Ludwig, Ludwig. Oh, baby. Let me ask you this. Speaking of presents given from one sloppy boy to another. Mike, the Chang tank tank I gave you, was it too big? It's a large. No, I was just wearing that the other day actually. Okay, good, good. I've realized that the medium shirts, while they're getting a little tighter these days,

but they don't fit as well. The modern style is a bigger fit. I was also imagining you jogging in it. I didn't want to get a form-fitting hip, form-fitting shirt. I figured it's a bigger fit. I was also imagining you jogging in it. I didn't want to get a form fitting hip, form fitting shirt. I figured you it's a workout shirt. Yeah, you want to see it kind of flow behind you. So people go, well, you guys moving.

Hey, there was another article of clothing. I watched petty theft on the live stream. Mike's senior film, Petty Theft. And I drew attention to an article of clothing that ended up at Tim's. Is that right? an article of clothing that ended up at Tim's? Is that right? What article of clothing? Maybe like the Red Windbreaker?

Oh, Red Puffy Vest. Oh. Also, I think one of those films featured my blue flannel that Dave Ferguson gave me. That was always just like your like rugged look for when we had to do like a shot for someone. The Lumberjack or a tough guy. We're camping.

We're classic sketch comedy. We're camping and then I'm like, what do I have? I'm like, I have this shirt that Dave Ferguson gave me probably from Urban Outfitters. Yeah, right, right. We got a lot of good clothes from Dave. Dave gave Hanford a whole wardrobe it seems like. Honestly, he's We got a lot of good clothes from Dave. Dave gave Hanford a whole wardrobe. It seems like honestly he's probably getting rid of some good stuff right now. I

know he's always got some good and he's dressed Dave's dressing nice these days too. Mike remember when we were in doing a live pod in Chicago this summer. Who is that maniac in the crowd that came up? Doug something like that live pad. Oh oh uh you switch shirts with him? Yes, who he switched the shirts with. His name was... Paul? Paulie? Doug? No, it was... He's gonna... He's screaming at me right now.

Damn. He's screaming his name at his device right now. His name was Anthony. Anthony! Yeah, he's... Anthony! He said, what's his name? Anthony. He... You and him swapped shirts. You said you were doing your classic move of going on a vacation with a shirt to retire it.

You gave him a shirt, and then he gave you a wonderful Hawaiian shirt. You both looked fantastic. And then we had pictures of him drunk with holes ripped in the shirt and everything. And then after the fact, we found out, this was just not just any not just any shirt, vintage yellow polo shirt. This is something you had worn in the Tom Collins music video on the cover

of the first album. It's a cover of the first album. It's it's the Highland Park TV, possibly. Who knows this thing to the Smithsonian? What's it doing on it? It's it's probably ripped up in some Chicago dump right now, which is fine. It's fine.

Oh, I had an idea. Wouldn't it be fun? Maybe I'll do this every, for every live podcast show. I'll take the shirt Anthony got me. I'll wear that and then switch with someone else in the audience. And then I'll wear that one at the next one. Just keep switching the shirts out.

That's fun. That's sort of like a sisterhood of the Traveling Pants type thing. We get some good surprises in the works for these West Coast pod shows. I'm excited. Yeah, those are good. Also, I started putting together drink ideas.

I don't know if you guys saw my Google doc, but I started compiling. Yes. I saw it, and I started just pulling things off. I said, what is Tim thinking? We got to read. This is ground up. Trash.

No. No. No. and I started just pulling things off. I said, what is Tim thinking? We gotta read, this is ground up. Trash, no, no, no. I was much like a Carthusian monk from Chartreuse, France, writing up ideas. Oh, San Francisco, I know what's popular there. Oh, Portland, I could see myself having this there. Right, but this is in total silence, Mike. That was inner monologue. All those things you heard him just to say now.

Can he write them out instead of saying I took a vow of silence and chastity while I was writing that list. Well, you've never had a problem with that. He was chased for two hours. He was chased until lunchtime. It was a no fab Google doc. Oh, it's a no fab attack. Hey, we should do no fab November. It's coming up. No way. Watch yourself, buddy.

We don't talk about such things. Fab, fab, fab away here on the Sloppy Boys pod. Wait a minute. Talking about San Francisco. Scrimshaw, you know that scrimshaw beer? Yeah. That's a good one. Is that arimshaw beer? Yeah, that's a good one. That's a is that a San Francisco local? Yeah, that's real good Yeah, scrimshaw anchor steam possibly they got good. That's that's the first place I had I've had those First time I had scrimshaw was in I think Vesuvius

Oh Vesuvio my god the beat that were the beats But that like is It's got like such a cluttered look and the bottle's kind of an old design on the front. I think it's. Yeah, we used to have some good times there. Either that's the first time I had it or that's the first time I really took notice.

I miss Vesuvio. That was a great spot. Let's go. That is a good spot. Let's go. We'll go there for the, hey, we should have an after party there. You mean the rallying cry of Gen Z, Tim? Let's go. Ves go there for the, Hey, we should have an after party there. You mean the rallying cry of Gen Z Tim. Let's go.

Vesuvio? Oh, let's fucking go. Um, well, hold on. Is it Vesuvio is Artie Bucco's restaurant in the Sopranos. So maybe Vesuvio's is, oh yes, Vesuvio's. This is where, uh, where the beats, no, no, I'm right. Vesuvio's. This is where the beats, no, no, I'm right. Vesuvio Cafe. That's where Kerouac and all those guys got wacky. Kerouac. It was a whack attack. And there's like a fun upper level. There's like an upper level, but it's like a ring around the body of the restaurant.

Like, yeah, it's like a balcony around the whole. It's like, yeah, I don't know. That's the word I'm looking for. Balcony. Ring around the whole. I love those types of things. That's the word I'm looking for. Balcony. Bring it around the restaurant. It's sort of this upper ring. Well, that place, I think it's sort of, it's not as touristy as like Fisherman's Wharf or something, but it's sort of an obvious out of towner place to go, but we always loved it.

And it is cool. And because we get dinner at House of Non-King and then walk up. Oh, and then we go get, we get some extra dinner over some cheeseburgers at Sammy's. Some double dinner. Oh, Sammy's. So yeah. Yep. Yeah. That's good. And I think it's actually, it's called like Sam's pizza, but it's just burgers.

We ordered a slice of pizza one time and they were like blue dust off of it. Yeah. But I love House of Non-King, what's so magical is any place where you walk in and you say, hey, there's seven of us, take care of us. You're gonna bring, start bringing the shit. And they never took our order. They would bring us so much stuff. And then when we, by the time we paid, it was like $13 per person.

It was like nothing. Yeah, so great. And like, we kind of were, I remember like kind of not finishing the meals, but being pretty, they were just the right amounts. I remember that was so scary the first time we did it cause we went up there probably 10 years in a row

for SketchFest. 13. 13. 13, wow. When you're 23 and you go up and you're sitting down and you don't know how much something is gonna cost and you're like, we're paying for the table and they just keep bringing us shit.

It's so relieving when you're like, oh, $12 a head? Yeah, no problem. Especially because they bring you the best shit you've ever had. And then if any of them are really good, you say like, hey, we'll take one more of those. And you can kind of keep them coming if they hit on something really good. That a great spot that I love it's really weird

the rich people think of you ever go to a fine dining place where there's no no prices on the menu and your gauche for asking like scary shit, man, I I haven't only done that a couple times at one time. I Feel actually they maybe had the price on the menu, but I Spago I had all my whole life wanted to eat at Spago. I kind of thought of it as a joke, but an expensive joke. But then of course you go and it's- Modern Californian cuisine.

Exactly. Wolfgang Puck's finest. Of course you go there and it's unbelievable and you see a bunch of celebs and eat delicious food. But I remember one time back in the day, I went there with Jessica and I had just gotten some paycheck or something. So I was feeling splurgy and we went to Spago and she ordered some steak and then just as if it's super salad, the guy goes, and did you want to do the Wagyu?

It's an upgrade. There's a normal steak or Wagyu? And she was like, oh, sure. I'm like, yeah, go for it. Why do you, but like there was no talk of what that is. I got the paycheck. And then the, the, the, it was already a very, very, very expensive steak, but then the little on the menu, little plus Wagyu 70 bucks. As if it's like, did you want Splenda with your coffee?

It's like, still are sparkling. Yeah, yeah, no big deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Man, that's so funny. And then when the bill comes, they want you to pay for it? That's true. Now suddenly the prices really do matter.

Like it was supposed to be cool. Like we're all cool with that. Yeah, it'd be so cool when I'm ordering now. We don't really care about the prices. Like, you don't care. And then when the bill shows up, suddenly they care very much so. All of a sudden we're caring.

That thing happened where they come out with a bill, I stand up and start walking back in the kitchen to wash dishes to pay off the meal, right? And they're like, no, we need your American Express card. We need legal tender. Ha ha ha ha. Hmm, baby. Well, hey, let's take it back to the drink.

Would you change anything for round two? I'm not having this drink again. I do not like this drink. I don't know. I don't mean I don't mean not in order again. This is that's not what I'm saying here, Jeff. I'm going to make a different drink when I come back. You know, like that's bad journalism.

Mm hmm. OK, I'm doing a tequila. I'm doing a tequila sunrise when I come back. Oh, I have good ingredients. I got a really nice tequila and a really nice orange juice. You got the OJ, you got the grenadine. Why not? Yeah. So you want to make a drink that's a staple of 70s rock, huh? The official drink of a Rolling Stone tour that started in Sausalito. That's crazy. They couldn't give it up. They loved it. That's early, early pod, folks.

You gotta go back. If you're listening, if you're just jumping on now, you're listening to the news, you gotta go listen to the olds. There's a lot of gems back there. Yeah, that's all the good stuff. It's the good stuff. I don't know what to do, Jay.

I mean, there's this drink is zingy, pangy, zangy, and I don't know whether I wanna to push it more in that direction or Diluted I I'm I'm I can't believe these words are gonna come out of my mouth. I Might do what Mike's doing and make it to the tequila sunrise I got the OJ and grenadine and tequila never have those it's kind of fun. Okay, it's fun Here's a little idea that I just said Do you make a third is there a version where you make? Because I also love the idea of that beautiful gradient

sitting in that what is it called? The glass with the flute, the fluted glass, the hurricane glass, hurricane glass. Could you make a spicy version of a tequila sunrise? You know, kind of kind of weave in some of the flavor we're getting here. Maybe that's the thing about this. I am. I don't think tapatio is a good drink. Hot sauce for a drink.

And this is too salty. You know, tomato. I don't want the salt. But Jeff, I like what you're saying. Can you get a spice without the salt spice? That's all. What about this, Jeff? Do you have any of those little what are those little packets that you put on the tahini?

Tahini. Yeah, those that might be good. And it might be just enough spice that you're talking about. I think I'm going to come up with something because I'm going to put in the grenadine first. So it sinks on the bottom and I get that look. And then I'll see what kind of spice I can add. Well, I think you want the grenadine. I think the idea, it's more when you're serving it like it trickles down, but I think by the time you bring it back here it will have trickled

down anyway. So trickle down effect. You remind me of trickle down economics, yeah. Fucking Reaganomics pot up in here. Fucking Reaganomics pot. All right folks, we're going to go make round two when we come back. Final thoughts. Kew, kow, kow. Kow.

Did your hurricane glass. Yeah, I tried to, I tried to give it that effect and it didn't quite work. Vampiro round two.

The tequila sunset hour. Yeah. Piro round two, the tequila sunset hour. Yeah, I just did the OJ last and grenadine first and hoped that like it would all kind of work out and it didn't. But I basically have not quite a double, but a drink and a half here in a beautiful hurricane glass. But you did you did like it's still tomato juice and still. Yeah, hot sauce and all that. And I'm going to turn off my AC

and me, I made a tequila sunrise down the hatch. Here we go. I did same shit. Mm. Wait, as scripted? As scripted, but I put my bag into a glass so that I don't have to swing a big bag around. But the bag is in a glass. Yep.

You need both. Ooh. Yum, yum, Yep, you need both. Ooh, yum, yum, yum, yum, okay. Huh, where do you rank it? What do you think? Mike, take it away. Nah, not Oregon for me, I'm sorry. I just did not enjoy the taste. Timothy?

I'm gonna say, I'm gonna ding Gifford's guide real hard for me not liking their recipe. I am curious, I guess I'm gonna ding Gifford's guide real hard for me not liking their recipe. I am curious, I guess I'm gonna say appointment only for, next time I'm in Mexico, I'm gonna be scrounging the fruit carts because I do want to try this because I'm looking for the alchemy for the whole to be greater than the sum of its parts. Sangrita sounds very up my alley, Something spicy and zippy and sour and everything. And sweet and cold. I thought you didn't practice sangria.

Sangrita. I know. He's being a stinkerton. I said it at just the most inopportune time when someone else was speaking, though. What did you say, Santaria? You practiced sangrita. Jeff was saying something, but as he was talking, I said, I thought Santoria you practice sangarita Jeff was saying so but as he was talking I said

I don't I thought you didn't practice sangaria. Okay now the first time I ever heard the song Santoria It was not this sublime recording version. It was my high school friends singing it. Oh, yeah, you remember the name of my friend Mmm Recently came up on the Paul Rust episode when I was talking about the first time I ever heard of a Jack and Coke. Oh, uh, he's got a funny last name, right? No, I'm thinking Jeff. I think you, Tammy Lenny, this is Andy Tammy Lenny, this is just right. Tammy Lenny's Tammy Lenny's and the melanocos. I don't know, Tim.

Yeah. What's his name? Sal DeFalco. Sal DeFalco. We've heard of him before. That's so funny. I've heard of that. I mean, that sounds like an adult man, not a kid. Sal DeFalco. Sal DeFalco. He had that vibe. It's funny though, uh, when, uh, on this pod, but I'm like talking through the, the, the, the drink being like, so the, the monks made this liquor. Um, and you guys are making little like comments. It's funny to me how often, uh, we, because I do this more than anyone. It is just song lyrics like that. You hear something, you hear something that sounds like a song and then you say the song and you're like, I do that constantly in normal life. And it's weird how pleasurable it is to get to be the one to say,

yeah, like I made an association. Yeah. And I think when I do stuff like that, it's more meant to be a, almost like the sound effects person on like the morning zoo show, but because we, um, because these, because these were on delay sometimes, these microphones are bad, you'll stop. And I'm like, oh no, don't stop with that. It's nothing. That's what I mean to leave a gap for it to be said

and then laugh and keep going. But it is funny when it's like, what did you say? I said something lighthearted, sir. It reminds me of that classic Mitch Hedberg joke when he's like, I mumble a lot and then people ask me what I said and I end up, I have to, I have to say it louder, but then I ended up saying some dumb, having to repeat dumb shit. So I'll say some people like, what? And then I say it again, they're like, what?

And then I'm yelling, that tree is far away. Tim, don't change the subject. We want to know what you think about the drink. Yes. Order appointment only Mexico fruit cart. Whoa. That's very good, Tim. Very discerning. Um, I'll say it's an order again.

Uh, I wish it's an order again. I wish it was part of something. This should be the third glass in the bandera shot. You know what I'm saying? Oh, like stretch the cell rather than have pure sangrita in your bandera. Have one that has lime juice and tequila in it already. I feel like this is fine all mixed together, it's not my ideal. Make a Bandera, folks.

That's sad. I'd like to do, it's a Vampiro. You know what I'd like to do? No, but I'm saying make the Bandera version, don't make a Vampiro. Oh, I thought you said that's the Bandero, folks. Vampiro, folks, is this one, yes. What I was gonna say, oh, I'd like to make,

we should do another tequila drink next week. I feel like tequila is not, I don't really have many drinks that I like with it other than margarita, which I don't order very often. Or shots, tequila's a shot. Ooh, that's a go-to for me, man. Yeah. I order Palomas a lot.

Or just tequila soda, Palomas too. Paloma, Palomato for me, man. Yeah, I ordered Paloma's a lot. Or just tequila soda. Paloma's too. Paloma's pretty good. Yeah. No, no, no.
