Hey guys, this is Milan Patel official editor of the pod I Want to apologize for uploading the episode late last week Whether you're aware of this or not the episode didn't get uploaded until 10 a.m Pacific Standard Time last Friday. The truth is I fucked up I got caught slipping and there's frankly no excuse for that. You guys deserve better and there's frankly no excuse for that. You guys deserve better. The real reason that I posted the episode late is that the night before I was watching the guys perform at Zebulon in LA. It was an amazing show. There were a bunch of amazing guests like Lamar Woods and Kyle M. The guys played a bunch of songs I've never heard live before and I even saw Dutz perform his solo work.

D U T S Not to mention I was standing mere inches away from the Pickleback Queen, Fran Gillespie. I became intoxicated, not from alcohol or marijuana, but from music and sound and celebrities. Time stopped and all my worries and responsibilities slipped into the ether. And for the first time in my life, I felt really, really good.

But the next morning I woke up and I realized that I had forgot to post the episode. And the harsh reality of my life began to set in and I felt this deep shame wash over me. I had let my identity as a slophead make me forget that I had a more important identity. An editor. I want to make up for my mistake. I want to urge you all to go see the guys play live and feel what I felt. Go see them play in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on May 28th at the Press Room. Go see them play at Battleboro, Vermont, May 29th at Stone Church and go see them play at Westerly, Rhode Island, May 30th at the Knickerbocker Music Center. You can find ticket links on their website, thesloppyboys.com or go to their link tree and you can see all

the dates on there as well. Oh, and one more thing. I've decided that unless these shows are completely sold out, I'll be resigning as the editor of the Sloppy Boys podcast and the blowout, which is only $5 a month and is actually a better show and the show that the guys care about more actually. So if you want me to stay on his editor, pack out those live shows and show the guys that I'm not just dead weight. Show them that I can contribute to the pod, and show them that I deserve a second chance. Anyways, enjoy the episode, guys.

Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton along with Mike Hanford and Tim Kallpakis. How bad bad do you want me? What is up? Oh, oh, you quote the the Taylorish Gaga song. Guys song of the summer. I'm I'm I'm I know it's early in the year. I know it's early in the year. But this stuff happens to this stuff happens.

Really stuff happens. And here's the thing. She put out the album. This song hasn't been pushed as a single yet. Not yet. So I'm thinking June rolls around suddenly. Deluxe version. Deluxe. I'll say this Lady Gaga has put out the best Taylor Swift song of the decade.

Over Taylor Swift, you're saying? Yeah. Wow. I haven't heard any of the Lady Gaga stuff. You know what we should do at the end of this episode is play our song, our favorite lady. Oh yeah. We couldn't call it Lady Gaga.

That was so funny. Down to the 11th hour, we tried to upload it and they were like, you can't name a song and artist. That was Apple Music, right? Yeah, one of them. There's Columbia Records. We had a big meeting with him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then just really quickly, we're like, Mike, it can't be called Lady Gaga. What do you want to call it?

So my favorite lady. We knew we had to get a lady in there. called Lady Gaga. What do you want to call it? My favorite lady. We knew we had to get Lady in there. I have backups for all the songs if we ever need them. We got it. I know this is I got to give a shout out to this Chang Everton soccer jersey I'm wearing. Very cool. It was given given to me by a slop head. Now you're going to have to find in your heart to forgive me sir because I forgot your name or where this was It was out on the last podcast tour and this dude came up to me and said I got this shirt for us

This is great. I think people know that the dates kind of blur together for the hosts. I hope so Yeah, the dates do but the people should know the people blur the faces The people the people blur after shows after shows at the t-shirt table. I'm like, hey If you've ever had an interaction with me with me at a t-shirt table, it's forgotten folks This shirt is reminding me that I was saying to Jeff the other day, we were watching, we're on Spotify, we're listening to some Viagra Boys. Do you know that band?

No. They got, they're a good band, but their look is kind of that blokecore type of thing, which Yale told me about that. Which is like these soccer hooligan guys who wear Adidas. Like train spotting guys, or like the streets or something. I was telling Jeff that we should have a blokecore song at the very least and now you have your,

you already have your fucking shirt for it. I can do a, because I've got some fuzzy like suede pumas and some jeans. Oh, I could do blokecore tonight. Oh, he's got some jeans ready to go, man. I got some jeans and the shoes are always ready to go. I got them on a rack next to the door. And I mean, you watch soccer, you you like Manchester United.

I don't know. I've fallen off of soccer. I'm not a Manchester United fan. I don't know if I am a fan. I liked that fan Harry Kane on Tottenham. But I think Neil told me he got traded. So all that, like anytime there's something with my quote unquote favorite team, Neil will text me, I'll go, oh my God, I can't believe this.

The Tottenham Spurs, is this happening to them? Your quote unquote favorite team. We've got a Dodgers text chain with Dave Ferguson and Neil as well, and sometimes they'll chime in with specifics of a trade and I'll be like, what are these guys talking about? Oh, right, the Dodgers. Yes, yes. Yes, yes, yes, oh good, good, good.

But most of it is poetry. Most of it is rhyming. We write a lot of rhymes about Dodgers as they are traded to and from the team. It's a good thread, Jeff. I wish you would take an interest in basketball early on. No, thanks. I could hedge on the thread.

I don't know. Polite pass. Hey, what else is Bloke Corps about besides like soccer? You mates. Pints. I'm going to give it a Google. Pints, your mates. Fit beds.

Probably hanging out in bars with no music on and carpeted floor. Okay. Bloke Corps is a fashion trend originating in the UK Probably hanging out in bars with no music on and carpeted floor. Okay. Blokecore is a fashion trend originating in the UK that blends casual everyday wear with a football inspired aesthetic, offering features, oh, it's just a look,

featuring vintage soccer jerseys, jeans, and sneakers. Wow. I'm not getting, I'm not really getting much. So funny, because you could dress in all those things that you just listed and not be blow core like sneakers. You can do different versions. Or is really thrown around these days by fashion people like like if we were wearing a T-shirt, you're like, OK, I'm T-shirt core. Well, a lot of our friends are slop core.

I've noticed that. Yeah. Did you say friends or fans? Fans. Oh, with the sloppy boys, the friends are our fans. Yeah. say friends or fans? Fans. Oh. With the sloppy boys, the friends are our fans. Yeah. Nope. The fans are our friends.

It makes me very happy to see like when there's like a sloppy boy show and you're out on the on the sidewalk in front of the venue and you're seeing some Hawaiian shirts, you're seeing some jerseys, you're seeing some really, really bored girlfriends. Yes, or I don't know, you see a lot of like, D-Pop freaks finding old Bud Ice shirts and stuff. That's fun to see. That's what I like the most, that's my shit. Yeah, I do, and we do this too much,

no, not too much, it's okay in the live shows, just like between a song, be like, hey, that's a cool shirt. Yeah, right. Hey dude, what's that shirt? He's like, hey, that's a cool shirt. Yeah, right. Hey, dude, what's that shirt? He's like, yeah, it's a lot of people wearing pup shirts. Those pup shirts are the unofficial sloppy boy shirts. I'm seeing those.

That's kind of cool. Uh, we should. Yeah, we should. Well, I had a good idea for a T-shirt the other day. For sloppy boys, one for a sloppy boys T-shirt. Do you want me to tell you now? Yes. Yeah. So it would be like, we'd kind of fake a,

like late eighties, like early nineties, like a fun run t-shirt, but have it be like the slot, like I, you know, the slo, I listen to the sloppy boys to keep my blood pressure down. It's all blood. It's like a blood pressure fund raiser, but it's a, but it's like, well, I don't know. We'd have to find styles, but.

And we find to do a bunch of shirts where there are events and then we just act like the sloppy boys. Bland band was a sponsor like our name is. You put like pizza places and all different names on the back. There's such an art to that where like you watch a movie and, you know, like you don't want, I don't know, for example, you don't want to wear a shirt that says stranger things on it. You want to wear the shirts that they wear

in the world of the show. You know what I mean? Like the Wally World shirt. You want the one that looks like it's a real park that exists. Like you want to dress a little like in universe. Yeah, it always pissed me off when I was a kid when I would see the Halloween costumes

where it's like the Bart Simpson that it says Bart Simpson on his shirt or the Simpsons on the shirt. They don't have that. Bart doesn't wear a shirt that says Bart Simpson on it. Although I'm wearing a shirt that says Sloppy Boys right now. Alvin wears a shirt with a big A on it. Yeah, that's true. Well, we don't know if that's for Alvin.

It could be for a chipmunk. A chipmunk. Or his favorite food, acorns. Simon, for example. A chipmunk, why this one happens to be called Alvin. This one is Simon. Who was the other guy? Theodore was the other guy.

Theodore, Teddy. I liked, I liked in that, that was a trend in cartoons. I didn't like it, it's funny. This is another one of those examples like, hey, you know what's funny? It's not funny, it's sad. But I always took notice of, it was like, the Chipmunks were the Chipmunks,

and then the Chipmunk ads or the Chipettes were like, the nerdy one went with the nerdy one, the leader went with the leader, and the kind of like, Shlub went with the Shlub. Right, the Shlub one is like Theodore is only his character trait is that he eats a lot. Right. Yeah. Is that what his thing is? Yeah. And that but that was just like, I don't know.

You see, like that was a thing also in the 90s cartoon. We're like, somebody eats a lot. Yeah. But to run out that fast, you're like, OK, Alvin is funny, charismatic and he's a troublemaker. Simon's a nerd. You need the brain inventor guy. And then one who eats. I mean, that was also in Pro Stars.

Wayne Gretzky's thing was that he ate a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He ate a lot. Oh man, pro stars. I wonder why, and then the turtles came by and you've got. They all eat a lot. They all eat a lot. You got the smart guy, the leader,

then you got someone with an edge. That's why the turtles stick around. Angry guy. I like that. Because you're now that age, you're in Jeff's case, going into middle school, and you've got turtles and you got that edge to you as well. And you're like one of the only guys that even likes the turtles anymore. Who even cares about the turtles? Seems like. Like for example, in the band, you two, who do you think like the edge was, though?

The edge of the band. Bono, probably Bono or the guitar player and not the one you're thinking of. Larry Mullen, Larry Mullen. And don't forget. Oh, God, wait, Clayton, Mike, not Michael Clayton. There's yeah, Bobby Clayton might not Michael Clayton. There's yeah, Bobby Clayton. No, because I used to have a remix of the Mission Impossible soundtrack. And it was the two boring guys.

It was the two boring guys. It was it was fuck. That's kind of cool that the rhythm section was doing like EDM remixes. Yeah. Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. Well, and that was the bass player in the drummer. Yeah. The edge lists. Wait, I was going to say something about you were just saying it, Tim. Well, I think that we are three Raffaels. I think you're right.

And also we need a splinter. Mieland's a splinter. Three Raffaels also we need a splinter. Mealins a splinter. Three Rafaels in need of a splinter. Personal ad. I forgot what the fuck I was going to say. I was going to say Johnny Green. It's cool that Johnny Greenwood makes soundtracks is what I was trying to say. I agree with that. It's cool that Trent Reznor makes them.

It is cool. I like Trent Reznor's soundtracks. Sometimes I'll just listen to the to the social network. Yeah. Who's who's the other guy? He let in the other guy now. Atticus Ross, Atticus Ross. That's a cool move that he pivoted to soundtracks and then forever. It was just like Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. And now I think by now he's like, OK, nine inch nails is Trent Reznor

and Atticus Ross. Oh, damn. Oh, cool. Big congrats to Atticus Ross. He's moved on up. Way to go. Ross, let me see. Yeah, he's the only other member. But that was Trent just solo forever, right? Even if he had a band with him. Yeah, right. Which I didn't realize for a long, long time. I got to say, I'm embarrassed.

Nice nails, kind of a blind spot for me outside of like the singles and the videos and stuff a long, long time. I gotta say, I'm embarrassed. Nine Inch Nails is kind of a blind spot for me outside of the singles and the videos and stuff. Cool, cool dude. Yeah, I'll dip in every once in a while just to be like, oh yeah, I kinda like this and then it doesn't last too long. It's tough to listen to for me for too long. I was surprised how electronic it was.

I thought it was scary rock when I was a kid and listening to it now, it's like, no, this is like proto techno. Yeah, yeah. It's funny that the name is Nine Inch Nails, it's the N-I-N and it's like, no, this is like Proto-Techno. Yeah, yeah. It's funny that the name is Nine Inch Nails. It's the NIN. It's like, oh, that's so scary. I was like, oh, my God, that's a scary man.

Who's the lead guy? Trent Reznor. Ah! Wow! He's even a scary name to back it up. Reznor is like a razor of a name, huh? Shee! Trent Blunt Reznor. Ooh!

Blunt Stab. Blunt St Reznor, Sue Blunt, Stab Stab Pivot Perry block. OK, run, run. Oh, yeah, let's get through this because I want to get to the drink. Yeah, I want you to the drink of the day. But first, we can't just go right to the drink of the day as much. I know we would all like to. But first, we got to do the damn thing.

Do the obligatory booze news. Yeah. Bip, bip, bip, bip. Well, I like it. Well, I'm going to power through this shit. I hope I'm the bomb. I really hope I got it going on. I hope I'm the bomb.

I really hope I got it going on. I hope I'm the bomb. I really hope I got it going on. General secretion. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Ah! I hope I'm the bomb. I really hope I got it going on. Me fucking too. I hope I'm the bomb.

Me fucking too. I really hope I got it going on. Me fucking too. Oh, fuck. It sucks. Damn. I hope I'm the bomb was sent to us by Zach Moats, aka the human neighbor. And if you have a booze news theme, email it to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com. Zach Moats. So do you think that in his country of origin, his people made moats?

M.O.A.T.S. They emote. Maybe they invented the emoji. I actually don't know. Wait, the river-y type of moat, I don't even know how that's spelled. M-O-A-T. M-O-A-T.

Oh yeah, so that is what this is. Oh. Oh great, perfect. So the answer to your question is yes. His parents, his family invented moats. Next time, just say yes. That is one of my favorite Booze News themes ever that little melody that he came up It really had me moving and then that he found a little me fucking too from Jeff and like little things

It was intricate. Where did you serve up that lead line though? Was that memos and demos? Yes Patreon subscribers know that every once in a while We'll do episodes where we play old memos of song ideas and one of my earliest sloppy boys songs was, I hope I'm the bomb. I really hope I got it going on. I hope I got it going on. But you never had a melody to it. No, it kind of became I'm one hell of a dude. Ah, I got you.

Well, memos and demos, those are good episodes, but everybody don't go listening to them because they're so vulnerable. We put them out, but we just hope everybody don't go listening to them because they're so vulnerable. Yeah, we put them out. We just hope people don't click on them. We don't like opening ourselves up in that way. Tim's scared eyes in that way. I should be doing this without Heather present. Yeah, let me get my therapist on the horn here and then I'll open up in that way.

You call your therapist on speed, or on a conference call. It's like, what do you need Tim? What is it this week? What is it this week? What is it this week? What now? That's what happens most week, is I tell her everything going on in my life and my feelings, and she goes,

ooh, I never heard you open up in their way. Ooh, and someone just swore to me. Heather, would you put down your cigar for 10 seconds? That might be beyond my pay grade. Yeah, you might want to be in the looney bin. Come on now. Come on now. Well, you can put me there if you want.

Nah, I never put anyone there. I never put you in a rubber room, Tim. By the way, what's your straight jacket size? Hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Every week hey, hey, hey. Every week with her. Every week. Okay, well, a couple things on Boozness here.

The first one, do you guys remember when we were in Austin, Texas and we did an episode about buzz balls? Yeah, who could forget the tour kickoff? Well, Slophead Matt Bradford alerted me to this post from basketball coverage on Instagram. The story is Lonzo Ball just released a 116 ounce drinkable basketball with buzz balls.

Yes, that's Buffalo. No, no, no, no. That's Chicago Bills player Lonzo Ball. The flavor is berry cherry limeade and the basketball can hold the equivalent of 17 regular buzz ball. His name is ball. Lonzo. Yeah.

That's making me think that's maybe why Merrily kick reached out to him from Carrollton, Texas. He's like, can I use your last name as my drink? Hey Lonzo, can I make a big ball of you? I don't think so, ma'am. OK. Man, that's another one where he seems destined to just, you know, have a ball, dribble a ball, shoot a ball. There's something about the ball family. There's like two that play basketball and one that is like a pop singer

or something makes jars. What about the one that makes jars? All jars, all jars. A diving bell. You don't know ball jars like it's written ball. It's like a mason jar. Oh, the brand. Yes. The ball.

I never thought that that's a brand name on there. Baked in there, the brand. If you got a mason jar that isn't ball, you're fucking up. But but anyway, the ball. I remember when what's his name, Keenan did did like an Alonzo Balls father impression on Weekend Update. He was like, my boys are the best. They're going to do it.

They could do anything. I think that's like a real life guy or something. I do remember that. Don't know much about the balls. Don't know why I spoke up. Nice. Well, I'll tell you this Alonzo ball giant buzz ball. It's blue.

It's shaped like a basketball, a regulation size basketball and you drink out of it. But here's the problem with all these big buzz balls these days. You lose the stack ability. That's what's brilliant about Maryland. Yeah, you stack them. You and your friends stack them. Those are weird looking.

Yeah, it's almost a perfect sphere except the stackable part. You want to be able to stack those balls. You've never stacked a normal ball. Right. They're impossible to stack. These stack. And it doesn't function as a basketball either because it does have a little spout on top of your drink out of so you can.

Well, it's blue like a basketball. Mm-hmm. That's so true. Wait a minute. I just went on one of these pages. I was like, I want to look at what this is. And without even looking, it was like, are you 21? And I just clicked one of the buttons and took me out the thing.

Cause I pushed the button. I'm not exactly 21. I've noticed that I go to a lot of liquor websites when I'm looking up booze news. And it'll, lots of times it asks me, you know, you have to toggle like your age, you know? And you take the year and you just do the mouse wheel, weigh the fuck down like.

Vroom! Vroom! I'm a hundred years old. So I'll spin the wheel, Trebek. But it's funny that I always go all the way back to 1983. I'm like, I could just go back to 2004 and move on, but no. No, you zing all the way down. They're like, I was born in 1920.

Vroom! And they're like, okay, old timer. And then the website is like an old man version of it so that you understand it. I hear that they have those tracking things more, not so much for the drinking age, but to like track the oldest people. Like if there's an oldest man in the world,

like if someone says like, I'm 110, they're like, oh my God, we got to find this guy and give him the award. The award? It award. The award. It's a major award. It's an award. It's just the only way they have to track people's ages. Okay. Now here's some very cool booze news segment you guys are going to enjoy. Do you remember? I just kind of referenced this phenomenon a little earlier.

One time at one of our live shows, we made a joke. We were talking about how there's the Slopheads and then there are the significant others who are dragged to our shows. And we said one time. Not always women by the way. Sometimes it's a bored looking dude and a very happy lady. If you were picturing a woman that's on you, listener.

I will say more and more, especially on the podcast tour, we had more and more ladies come to the teacher table like, yeah, I brought him. And we're like, wow, it's usually the other way around. We're like, cool, more and more guys are hating us. No, but what we said, we said, hey, look, you maybe didn't know us at the beginning of your show. A lot of people are converted during the course of our show.

We charm them. And we were making this guarantee, and at one of our recent shows, we- It's sort of a conversion camp. Tim, go ahead. Yeah, we should open up a conversion therapy camp. To get people to become fans of us. Or people start off, they're not fans of us,

and then we go through the camp and they become straight. But we put the challenge out. If you're bringing a significant other to one of our shows, record their reaction before and after so we can see what we think. And so we did it. Slophead, not just anyone, Sean Beaumont, Sean Sean Beaumont did that. S did that. Sean Beaumont did that. S.B. is the man to be.

Now he sent us a couple of videos and it appeared to me, judging from the background, I think they were at our Detroit show, very recent, very good Detroit show. Oh yeah. So I've got two clips here. First is in the room pre-show. He asks his significant other how she's feeling,

and then I'm gonna play the post-show clip after that. This is so exciting because a lot of the listeners, they hear the live episodes, but they just don't know what it's really like to see us live. And it's so cool to see us live. It's kind of the best way to do it. Here we go.

What am I supposed to say? Nothing. You know who the Bobby boys are? I know who they are because you watch or listen to them. How is your happiness right now? Are you still feeling it? Pretty happy. On a scale of one to ten? Seven.

Okay, so she's out on a show. There's electricity to the air. She's with her beloved Sean Beaumont. And she's out on a show. There's there's a electricity to the air She's with her beloved Sean Beaumont and she's feeling a seven out of ten. How is your happiness right now? I'm gonna ask more people that house. That's before the show is at a seven flies. No, that's not that's not too much room I give us a lot of that scary because there's a lot of room to drop. There's a lot of room to lose She could bottom out. Okay, now it's time for clip two. He's recording her while she's driving home in their car.

Nice. So you liked it? I did, I liked the show. My fun levels got from a seven to an 8.5. Oh, when in the hell? It didn't. So, I mean, we did a two hour show and bust our asses and we increased her happiness one point five percent, but I will say eight point five is pretty happy lady.

Yeah, that's pretty. I mean, if you're as a happy lady, she wasn't drinking because she was driving. She must have been the designated driver of the night. She's a cross-eyed drunk driving home. I think I think that's a great job. We're changing minds left to right. Yeah, I mean, think about when you go to a show that you don't know, like usually, like the last half hour, I'm just like hoping it's the last song and you are, it's exhausting to watch a show

you don't care about. And then you gotta like drive home, you gotta park. There's all that stuff you gotta do. They sound like they were listening to do do do do do do do do. Semi-charm life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Third eye blind.

So that's what she's into. She's like, if I was at the Semi Charmed Kind of Life concert, I'd be a 10. I'd be an 8.6. If they would just have played Semi Charmed Kind of Life. She doesn't like that. Babe, they don't have the rights, babe. She's not a Third Eye Blind fan,

she's a Semi Charmed Life fan. Yeah, it's a concert where a couple bands come and play that song. What a time. I would be a cool festival idea. And the last piece of booze news is that we're going to be playing in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on May 28th, Brattleboro, Vermont on May 29th and Westerly, Rhode Island on May 30th. Westley, Westley. Hello, Westley. 29th and Westerly Rhode Island on May 30th. Westerly. Westerly.

Westerly. Hello, Westerly. That's like a fancy boy who's gonna come to the show. Hello, Westerly. Hello, boys. Hello, Westerly. That's great because that's sort of my hometown turf. That's the closest we've ever gotten to where I grew up.

Maybe we'll go run through the halls of my high school. Scream at the top of our lungs. Yeah. Do you have to be quiet though? Okay. Yeah. Here's, here's my, this is you, Jeff. Yahoo. No homework.

No homework. I'm 41. My friend Jack who listens to the show. Hey Jack. He, uh, he sent me pictures recently, he broke into, our high school went out of business because it was a private school. We were sort of dumb kids.

They went out of business, but he broke in recently and sent me pictures and he was like, check it out. And I was just like, inside a darkened high school. It was like, we didn't like being there when we had to, now here, now we choose to break into the place. It's so interesting in life. Yeah, it is interesting in life. That's just dudes being dudes.

You want to be where you're not supposed to be. Yeah. Well, is that it for Booze News? Wrap it up. Battle Toads. Damn. Bam, bam. Jeff, I just kind of did your damn.

I notice sometimes on the podcast when you're bored and you want to change the subject, you go, damn. Yeah, that's my turn. The page. Tim's been talking about Bruce Springsteen for two hours and then there's a long silence and damn. Well, I'll tell you, I was really, my finger was twitching on that damn during all that athlete talk earlier today.

So I'm glad that's Lanzo ball. Yeah. And then also even before then there was some, I was just gritting my teeth. Soccer. Yeah. Oh, we were talking about soccer, baseball.

We're talking about all the sports. It's too much. Damn. This isn't Jock pod. Could be. I actually, I would, I usually don't do this But I would love to get to the drink of the day quickly because I'm very thirsty This is a good one. Oh, I think this is gonna be I think this is gonna be a good one for my thirst. This is

Exciting for me in general an exciting time to be in the sloppy boys band Let alone to be a slophead we got a lot go I mean for Christ Christ's sake, Tom Sharpling just kind of gave us the crown and said that we're. The new classic guys. We're the new classic guys. Yeah.

So we've got that street cred. We've got more surprise guests coming up that people are gonna love. We got those shows we mentioned, but really also we got the warm weather coming, and what starts to dance in your head is that thought of drink of the summer. I was just saying Lady Gaga song of the summer.

We will cover that on our Patreon show, The Blowout. Not this week, of course. Not this week, but. Too early, too soon. We started this, we have our first little bid for a 2025 drink and here we go, ladies and gentlemen, it is called the ice rocket you've had. No, I've had something similar to him. Continue. You've heard. No, no.

What have you had this similar, Jeff? Well, don't tell them, Jeff. You know, I'm going to I'm going to say it, you know, here on the pod, we occasionally we come up with drinks. And our good friend Tim came up with something called the Alpine Crush friend of the body. And I love every friend of the pod. One of those came up with the Alpine Crush.

And that was a Coors light with a little bit of rumple mints. Yeah, you take a shot of hundred proof peppermint schnapps liqueur and then you chug, chase it with a Coors Light. Unless you do a Wild Child style. Which is... You drop it in. You dump the shot into the thing. Right, I don't think I did Wild Child style. I also did one style where I spit the shot in by accident. That was folks, wow, got to listen to that. That was our LA show that was live.

That was good. That had the Meal & Report too. That was a good show. That was a very good show and that was a fun one to do live. It was a nice party drink. And what's tricky for me was, yeah, that was, it was fun. It was winter. We were at a lodge, the lodge room, and it was, I was, I had invented this drink thinking,

I want to gust the fresh mountain air vibe. And when we were praising the drink, Jeff said it worked emotionally, but not flavor wise. Oh yeah, yeah. So then you can. It works on the heart, but not so much the tongue. Now here we today have a drink that he's kind of going for the same thing and might be better

and looks like it'll probably be better. So I'm scared, but here is what we're, I mean, first off, you guys all know, everyone listening knows that Piotr Arsenyevich Smirnov started his vodka company in Moscow in 1864. Yeah. And you know that Adolf Coors started his beer company in Golden, Colorado in 1873.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And never the twain show meet, we always say. Both the ledgers of both the letterheads. Is that letterheads? Well, here's a kind of an interesting footnote. I mean, sure, Adolf came out with the Silver Bullet Coors Light in 1978, but in 1993, he came out with Zima, a citrusy malt beverage

that didn't catch on and click, it went out of business pretty fast. And then, oh, I don't know, in 1999, suddenly Piotr Smirnoff, he's got his idea for Smirnoff Ice in 1999, suddenly, Piotr Smirnoff, he's got his idea for Smirnoff Ice in 1999. A malt beverage that's rather citrusy indeed. Yes, I think they were at a meeting at Smirnoff, and they're like, Piotr, what's that glint

in your eye all about? He was kind of looking out the window. Oh, nothing, just having one of my little fits of fancy is all. As you were, gentlemen. Mike the Hard Lemonade guy, not Mike Hanford, but Mike of Mike's Hard Lemonade, came out with his also in 1999.

So there was this, that was a big moment. But, you know, we remember Smirnoff Ice, it came out to the delight of high schoolers worldwide. It's sweet, it is refreshing, but it's sweet. Don't get iced. And then in 2010, there was the pranky drinking game meme trend called icing. Did you guys ever take part in that? That was all the way in 2010. It's been out for 10 years.

2010, isn't it? Icing? I had never been. I knew I know what it is, but I'd never been iced or iced anyone. So somebody, a friend conceals a, a sprint of ice makes you see it, and then once you see it, you've gotten iced, so you have to kneel down and chug? Yeah, you kneel down, you're on one knee and you chug it or something.

Can they just show it to you, or does it have to be like poked out of a pocket or coyly presented? Well, it can be poked out of a pocket, a shoe, anything you have really. A zipper? Zipper work? Because I've always seen it just like shown to someone like, hey, you're getting

ice. But in my Googling, it made it sound like you had to like surprise them. It's flimsy. I bet I bet I bet some of the college boys got a little fun with it and it was like, oh, we're going to get our we're going to get Drake. Not the Drake we all know now, but a guy named Drake and Cow. That's a poor boy. They're poor choice. You got Drake on the brain, man.

I got Drake on the brain. Oh, I just want to crush that guy. Oh, I just want to rap him to death. That'd be funny, though, if like, you know, you're you open up your cupboard, you open up your file cabinet is like, Oh, they got me. There's an ice in there. Or like it. You can't just show them one and be like, you have to drink it now.

That's guys. What if we get really into icing this summer? Could we get free back? Anytime I'm at a birthday party, I'm usually pretty into the icing. Mike. OK, so is it funny? Hold on. Isn't it funny as a kid? Like there'd be a birthday cake comes out. You're like, oh, man, I want that corner piece with a big, huge row. The fucking icing. Yeah.

And now to even think of that, I'm like, oh, disgusting. So much. I eat around the frosting in a most in like most cakes. I'm not a big frosting guy. I don't need all that frosting. Worst part of the Oreo. I mean, but in the old, but as a kid though, you. Yeah, as a kid, you love the frosting. You love the ice. I do still like cheap cake though. I like fancy bakery cakes are a little bit lost on me.

And if I get like a sheet cake from a supermarket, I'm pretty amped, but I agree. The icing will make me tired and sad. Yeah. All right, go ahead. You were going to say to drink. Well, we were talking icing. That was 2010. And then the spirit of we weren't talking about icing that long. Mike, the trend, the spirit of a of a smear.

No, I wasn't here to stay with a smear. Drinking trend. It would it would lay dormant for nearly a decade and a half. And then, no, let's say exactly a decade and a half. And then, then cut to me. Fucking, who's lighting up my phone? But I think I wrote down that.

Zack Myers, Slothhead Zack Myers. Not to be confused with Zack Moats. Right? Oh, we got a lot of ZM's in the discord. Yeah. He sent me an Instagram video of this and I was like, what the fuck? It's an ice rocket.

It's two thirds Coors Light, one third Smirnoff ice poured into a pint glass and chugged. And I said, fuck, this is like Alpine Crush style. And then I looked to see if it was viral. It was, I'm seeing a fucking. You sent to a TikTok in a reel of two of the most annoying possible guys. Yeah, one of the guys, TikTok or one big pikey

was one of these like daddy, like sense of humor type guys and then Instagram or Mike versus beer is sort of a Sports guy who was reviewing it, but they both liked it and a big tick tocker drinks with Jason It was kind of a grumpy jock dad. He liked it and This is I couldn't find like who started it. But but Some people call it the smirno, but some people call it the Smirnoff Rocket, some people call it the Ice Rocket, but it's a chug situation, and to me I'm like,

Coors Light is a pretty weak beer, Smirnoff is a pretty sweet malt beverage, but mix them together, we could be onto something. It does sound like a, it's like a Shandy, like a, like a Linen Kugel, or you know, like a Lemonade and beer a lemonade and beer. Oh, I love that Yeah, I haven't it's funny. I haven't had a spirit I'm just now thinking about what the smirnoff taste will be like and yeah, I haven't had one in such a long time

But it's it's really I mean we we all had them before but in like high school and college, right? Yeah Yeah, but it's just not a good tasting thing Like it's very it's just not a good tasting thing. Like it's very chemically, I remember. Yeah, but like it's so in my brain, like we had beers, but we were really lucky that those came out in the time that it did. Like probably pretty generation forming, generationally forming.

You're probably. Yeah, and for people that didn't like beer, it was such a way in. And I do remember the first sip being delicious and the last sip being like, too much, you know, gross. I definitely got a little drunk on Mike's and probably puked. Like I think you're not supposed to have like three, four of those.

Yeah. You're not. That's my doctor, I guess. Should we get our stuff? Now, this is a chug situation. I mean, we should do it on camera, probably. Or on the show. We should do a live build. I've got a tall boy and a big smear off.

I'm going to bring him and we'll do our pores and everything. Great. Great. I'm going to do my little picture, though, before I do that. Oh, that's not nothing that audience has to worry about. Folks, we're going go round up these ingredients and when we come back, first sips. And we're back! Coors Light and Smirnoff Ices in hand, And we're back.

Coors light and smirnoff ices in hand, ready to be combined into the rocket ice. Live on pod. What were the dimensions again here? Two thirds Coors light, one third smirnoff ice. And it's just kind of, are you just eyeballing it in your glass? Yeah, just eyeballing it. These are huge. Did you guys both get tall boy cans and tall boy bottles?

Yeah. No, I didn't get a tall boy Smirnoff. I got a tall boy can, but like I got a six pack. I'm like, I don't want a fucking six pack. But here's the thing. They didn't have the big ones. So I went to the Hillhurst liquor store and they did have the big bottles,

but I was also seeing at that place, people do that thing where they pull out Lucy's, you know, and just pick one out of a six pack. You know what? I was gonna do that. And I was like, I had my headphones in and I was kind of enjoying my music and everything. I was like, I don't wanna even have a conversation

about this with anyone here. I don't wanna do it with this. Can I have one Smirnoff ice? We don't do that. Oh, it's for, okay. I'll go back and get this other five. It's funny, the TikTok that you sent and then your own private comments to us just now to light being kind of a piss beer. You know, I don't think of it that way.

I love it. I'd say beach beer for me. I'm a big fan. You know, I drink it quite often up at the golf course in Griffith Park when I'm sitting in the Adirondack chairs Franklin's yes, Franklin's, you know, they stop serving Margaritas up there. You can't get them anymore. They used to have awesome margaritas. You can't get them because people were being too insane because because the miners were getting their hands by Let's drink our drinks and I got the scoop on that as well. OK, great. Let's do it. Now, this is a chuggle chuggle lug.

I think it's a chuggle. All right. This is a chuggle. Yeah, it looks good. Ready? Cheers. Cheers. Cheers, matey. Oh, matey. Oh, I'm. Now I couldn't finish the chug, not because of the taste.

Bubbles because just the bubbles. You bubble it was getting at me. Oh, my God. I'm hanging on to a burp here that I hope doesn't turn into a fucking. Hang on to it. Upchuck. Hold on to long enough so it becomes a fart. My eyes are watering, can you see? Me too. Oh, cause of herb is but a fart for the face.

It's funny that any chug thing is like, the chug is the, you know, like, but that is what I was going for with the, off my crush too, is like, wanted to be experienced. But I gotta say, that did, it tasted like a line, tasted like a line in Google summer shandy. And I think it's fucking delicious. Now I am not, I'm gonna, I'm gonna try to knock

what you just said out of my head, Tim, cause I don't like summer shandies, but I like this drink. So I don't want to have that influence anything. Okay, so hit your head with your hands. Ah! Ay! Oh! Ah!

Mike, what don't you like about the Shandy? Uh... Too sweet? I don't like the balance of alcohol to, um, lemonade taste. Too juicy for you. Too juice for you. Yeah. It's got like that Hefeweizen mouth feel to it, which I do not like.

Oh, okay. Yeah, fair. Too fair to to to round to To caramelly too rich. Oh, I was gonna say that I sometimes feel like that lemon flavor in the line in kugel is Fakie so so in this case, I am a big fan of Coors Light So I would toggle like I wouldn't I would only need a splash of spirit off for this to be Coors light, so I would toggle like I wouldn't. I would only need a splash of Smirnoff for this to be doing its thing. But me too. But a big splash.

Yeah, I'm talking a whole fucking class. I wish I had stirred it better because I had all Smirnoff up top or just give it a swirl or something, you know. I always think when I'm if you're pouring stuff that's like this amount, it should it should like mix itself, especially with no ice and everything. I should. But I fear that it don't. Oh, yes. But the density of the liquids. Hi. But that's how I think of things when I pour stuff.

Um, I try to see the it's four point four point five percent alcohol in this. Yeah, it's weird. It's fun that it's just a big chugger. It's four point four point five percent alcohol in this. Yeah, it's weird. It's fun that it's just a big chugger. It's not strong. You know, I'm getting is a Bud Light Lime vibes a little bit. Oh, I like Bud Light Lime. I think that's a pretty fair.

I yeah, I'm I was I was tasting or a sprite seven up more so specifically was coming to mind. And I didn't mind that a bit. Do you guys ever do the grapefruit, Rattler, the Stiegel Stiegel? You had that in the Bahamas, right? No, there's a bunch of Rattlers in the Bahamas. Some of them are good. Some of them are not so good. But the one you see.

I have had the Stiegel and I would say like that's another like like warm weather outdoor beer. Fantastic. I don't like Rattlers either. I don't like this fantastic. I don't like radlers either. I don't like this stuff. I don't like sours. Mike, you do my little trick where you go to the, when you do it at Bigfoot Lodge, you get yourself a big can of Radler

and you get a shot of tequila and you kick the ABV right back up. It's like a Paloma, Jeff. Oh, you kick it right back up. Where should it be? It's like, here's like a light drink. I'm saying, no, no, no, no, no. Kick it back up.

Okay, I'll have that light drink with a side of fucking tequila. I love that. Now that I'm a shot in beer, citywide, Boilermaker, Alpine, Crush type of guy, I really just can't just have a beer is not strong enough and then a shot is boring because it's gone and you got nothing.

So like last night I was at the middle bar at Red Lion last night doing schnaps paired with beer all night. And it's just so fun to have to, you got to have a little strong thing and a big wet thing. That middle bar, Tim, welcome to my first sexual experience. Yeah.

A little strong thing. And it ain't drenched. I don't even know what's what in this situation. I do. I got a pretty good idea. No, you don't. The bar you were just talking about, that middle bar. That's bar in L.A. in Red Lion.

That is a fun little. That's a cool little dig out there. I like those types of bars. It's short and it's a low roof ceiling. It's got a tiny little room next to it's all very soft lighting. Oh, there's bar stools, but only like six. Yeah. Yeah. Very tiny little guy. It did. Now, were you is that where you were with like a party, Tim,

or was it just like- No, I was meeting up with our friend Jocelyn, and that's where I chose, because it's my favorite bar. Oh, that's a good spot. And here's what was great. I fucking, she wasn't even eating, but I was, and she was buying, but I weren't food. And so-

That's how you do it, folks. That's a good arrangement. You eat, she buys. It was, we were doing shots and beers and then I was like, I want a meal and they have this big menu and I was like, ooh, I'm gonna get a, I'll have a New York strip steak with German fried potatoes and peas.

So just a big. You're buying right. And what, what was the last thing? Peas. Peas, okay, yes. Peas. I bought some peas myself the other day. Well, it's in the air.

Maybe it's a pea year. Anyway. It's pea season. I'm having a ball because I'm drunk, but now I'm eating a steak. Heartbreaking that wasn't a ribeye, so it doesn't count as one of my 30. I've-

Oh, how you doing on the 36? I've had- Four was the last check, I think. In January or February, maybe? Okay, I've been writing them down. I have had in 2025. Are you writing down where to? Yep. One, two, three, four, five, six.

This is like the quarterly report. This is the end of quarter one. So Emma, I might be, I've had six rib eyes this year. Pretty good. Pretty good. You got to pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers. Don't worry about court. Just do do it. Just comes naturally. Well, here's what's sad. I've had two New York strip steaks wasted. Wasted wasted steak wasted steak.

That's a whole that's a whole different group. That could be a good song or a novel wasted. Wait, Tim, I had a question about schnapps at Red Lion specifically. I was there not too long ago. I noticed they had a whole page of schnapps. I was looking for my beloved walnut schnapps. Oh. And I saw they had so many, and at the bottom, egg schnapps. No.

Yeah. Let me guess, it was $30 a shot. I've not had that, but Mike, I wonder if it's actually distilled from eggs or if it was like an egg noggy type thing. Cause I've had something kind of creamy. Yeah. Okay. Egg nod doesn't make sense. Yeah. Jeff, I have this, the walnut schnapps that they have there.

I have that at my place now. Cause I bought it at cap and cork. We had it on Thanksgiving. Tiger room? At Kelsey's hideaway? No, in the main room. What was the tiger we get is just where the tiger It's getting more tiger-y themed in the main room. What was the tiger? We guys just where the tiger. It's getting real tiger-y theme. It's in the back. Well, I liked it. Now we've just introduced this constant confusion.

It's just exactly like when we say we're going on tour and people are like podcast or band and we're like, why did we ever do this? Just calm. It's called them in safety. I like that it positions your apartment to be like the Roosevelt hotel or something where it's like, well, there's the library bar and then there's the spare room. Yeah, yeah. That's a good bar to that spare room where they have the bowling alley. I love it. It's a cool. I wish you go there more. That's that's a fun place. It's too like hipster expensive because it really is like a handmade like from wood bowling alley, a Tulane bowling alley.

Those are real bartenders That's like those are like guys from the varnish and stuff open that up. So it's like legit cocktails varnish Really, you know who I saw there once I was on a date and Mike my date pointed out Sasha Grey was there. Oh porn star porn well, she's an actor she's a porn actor and so over films and Whoa. Porn star? Well, she's an actor. She's a porn actor in some of her films,

and a traditional actor in some of her other films. So you kind of take the whole filmography, whatever movie she comes out, you see it. It doesn't, you know. See it as it comes. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. So you celebrate her entire catalog.

Some of them are 20 minutes, some of them are two hours, and they're in a theater. I did that with Jenna Jameson, I did that with Kristy Canyons. Yeah, I watched their whole filmography. Christine Canyons? I don't know that one. That's pretty good.

Christie, I think her name is. Christie, I think. I heard. Mike, you're very thorough, very comprehensive when it comes to that stuff. When it comes to these, I like to see every frame and just really live in the performances. So I'm at the middle bar

and I order the steak and peas and potatoes, right? Steak and peas and potatoes please. And there's this one, it's a very quiet bar, so and it was early, like it gets rowdy at night, but this was like evening, so it was just me and Jocelyn and then the German bartender lady who's great, who's telling us stuff, but then there's this one dude

by sitting by himself and then he kind of saw, I was having a shot in a beer and he's like, can I telling us stuff. But then there's this one dude sitting by himself. And then he kind of saw I was having a shot in a beer and he's like, can I have a shot of this in a beer? And he's doing his own thing, we're talking. I'm telling some of my Hollywood anecdotes, he's probably used them. He's probably used them. Anyway, a weird lady walks in and goes to sit next to him

and she's like, can you move your bag to Jocelyn? Jocelyn's like, oh, sorry. And then she sits down and I give these people their space but then in like five, 10 minutes this weird lady leaves and then the bartender walks over to the dude and was like, what was that? And he's like, that was a date. And we heard, we were like, that was a date?

And he was like, yeah, it went bad. And we were like, that's the shortest date ever. He's like, I think she was drunk or something because I didn't really understand what she was saying and she just got up and left. And I think she's like down at the bar downstairs now. But he was like, we were like, well, sorry your date was bad,

but at least it didn't take your whole night. And he was like, yeah, you know, whatever. I mean, I came into town, I came into Silverleg all the way from Pasadena, so I may as well hang out. And then he looks at my plate and he's like, how's that steak? I was like, pretty good.

He says to Bartender, can I get that same plate of food that he has? And then he ate his steak and potatoes and peas and had a great time. It was fantastic. Tim, you're an influencer in a classical sense. Yeah, yeah. In a very, is a very local, it was fantastic. Tim, you're an influencer in a classical sense. Yeah, yeah. In a very, it's a very locals, the most localized sense.

It's spread from one guy to one guy. Everyone's eating the New York steak with peas. Let me tell you a funny, I've like cut to later, the plates are both finished and you're both drunk and like, okay, so here's how it works. We switch clothes and cars and no one will know. No one will know. He did have a mustache and kind of looked like me.

He's a hell of a guy. That's fun. I want to do another one of these. Me too. But I'm curious as to what, because I want to add something fruity to it. Now, we did the grape ape last week and I still have a whole thing of grape star-kissed

or whatever it was. Oh yeah. With a little thing of grape star kissed or whatever it was. A little splash of grape. Sunkist. A sunkist grape soda. Would this be a fun thing to put a little grape into? Because I will say it's just not that tasty. Well, I'm kind of wondering how you, I feel like you want to stiffen it up is the thing.

It's a low ABV drink, so it could use, I'm not saying Campari, but Campari. Yeah, soda's just gonna be your water weight. Something that's gonna. What about, what about, What's the liquor in the Bramble? Gin. Or not the liquor, what's the,

Oh, Chambord. Chambord, yeah. Oh, I could see, in the name of spring, bringing in a berry element, I could also imagine. In the name of spring, I could see it. In the name of spring, bringing in a berry element. I could also imagine. In the name of spring, I could see it. In the name of spring. But that's kind of the only thing I can think of. And that's always my go-to.

Well, let's see, triple sec is orange. What are the other citrusy liqueurs? Is there something that we might? But you know, this did really have not a lot of taste to it. You're insane. It tastes great. Wait, maybe it needs a shot of rumple mints.

That's not what I'm saying. It's it's nothing doesn't taste great. It's just like it doesn't have much to it. It was like pretty it's the way like a Fanta is or not a Fanta. I'm not fresco fresco is like has a little bite to it, but it's pretty. Right. The main taste is bubbles. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's that sprightly limey. Really? I feel like maybe I put too much spirit off or something,

because mine was fairly citrusy. Take a smear off sip just by itself. It's a lot less flavorful than I once thought it was. I think it's absolutely fine, but of course, it's going to be cloying after one or two. I agree like you.

You wouldn't. You definitely wouldn't want to have to. But this is not as like, I thought it would be like, you, that's for kids. I'm like, I might want to pour it on the rocks so it gets a little melty or something. It feels like a vodka soda with a bunch of citrus in it. Yeah. And honestly, it's like, it feels like most drinks at bars that they make too sweet, like when you get a margarita, it's just a little too sweet. My problem with it is this.

Oh God, here we go. Just like the grape ape, I actually like the taste, and I get that it's a stunty drink you do, but I wouldn't mind sitting with this. I agree that- Put on some ice. I think the chug makes it, much like the Alpine Crush, an experience,

but I do think it's it's very sippable. It's it makes like like a lining cougar shandy You would never in your life chug. That's so stupid, right? so I think for round two I will do a chug just in the name of the pod in the name of spring and then For and then as we coast into the blowout, I'll probably do a sipper in the name of spring Yeah, cuz Jeff I think I think with a super version, it would be like that's when you want to put a little more stiff something into it, because it's so chugable because it's so easy. Hmm. I'm going to push out of I'm going to do a rumple.

I'm doing why choice? I'm doing an ice rocket. Why? Chai style. So this is a bizarre choice to be Tim because yeah, citrus is refreshing. It's got like a refreshing snap. It's very bright and so does mint, but I don't often see mint and Mojito citrus hanging out. Mojito.

Okay, okay. You're right. I have seen that. And I'm going to put like half a shot of rumple mints. It's going to be dialed in baby. We're locked in. Let's fucking go. I say we, I say we stick with Tim's attitude. shot of rumple mints. It's gonna be dialed in, baby. We're locked in. Let's fucking go.

I say we stick with Tim's attitude. I like that. But let's all go off. We'll take a, do a commercial break for the suckers who haven't bought. We are gonna go off. We're gonna go off, King. You dropped this.

And then let's each come back with one item we're gonna add. We know what Tim's is. Okay. Also, when we come back, I wanna ask you guys if you've had the golden sriracha Doritos. But that's when we get back. You can totally ask us when we get back. OK.

I already know my answer. Perfect. I got to think about it. Folks, we'll be right back after this. We're back, folks. We're in the lab concocting and I feel like we all did different little additions. Concoctions. Yeah, different additions for round two. For me, I dipped until last week's recipe.

I grabbed the absolute citron. Oh, very nice. That's good. I grabbed myself a little peach blossom schnapps. It's one my I just my I saw it. I said, you know, Lord's. Yeah, that seems like some of you. That's a very funny bottle. It's like a really long bottle.

I mean, every every time we do a schnapps of some sort, Lord's is the brand that my liquor store, so I've got like peach and mint and all the creme de cassis. With the whole set. But I also, for my next one too, I'm going to make another one with. Fireball. I feel like this would maybe be fun

just because it's already like a funny shot type thing. Right. And like a fire and ice thing. Let's go fire and ice. Fire and ice. Icy hot. Icy hot. Smirnoff ice and we should make a drink with icy hot. I don't think you're supposed to eat that. No, you might not. But you're supposed to drink fireball and spearnoff ice.

Fire and ice. Because there's also like icebreakers that's like, you know, it's typically mint, but a cinnamon style. Cinnamon cinnamon. You've heard of that. Certainly you've heard of cinnamon. Never. I've chewed on some cinnamon. That's a gum, I think. As a gum. Let's do it.

Tim, your ad. I did. I did. I'm doing a fully. I did. And I plopped an ounce of rumple mints in there. So it is a alpine ice rocket. Why Chai style? It's some sort of unholy hybrid. Yeah, let's see. All right. Here we go. Sips. I'm doing a half chug. Oh, that's good. Flatter too.

Even just an ounce of something not bubbly and the stir maybe release some bubbles, but that's good. You know, it's funny when you're chugging it, you really can't taste it. I have to I had to like stop down so I could like get my tongue on some of this stuff. It's running right by your tongue. Wait, wait, just jump it over. I want to taste you. Like, get back here.

It was running over the teeth. Mine, I will admit, does not work, because the mint in Rumplemint is peppermint. It's not like a green mojito mint. If it was spearmint, you'd be rocking over there. Definitely not. But my mojito argument is Nolan Void, because this is more like candy cane and lemon you know

what I mean your theories debunked the bunk but they can't debunk the funk you don't even try to debunk the funk this peach blossom is like it's just got a little bit of a peachy taste nothing no big deal to it it's like fakie flavory peach like yeah yeah that was last night at the Red Lion all night I'm like I'll No big deal to it. It's like fakey, flavory peach. Yeah. Last night at the Red Lion, all night I'm like, I'll have the pear schnapps and all of the fig schnapps. And they're all schnapps that are actually fermented from those fruits.

So they don't always taste like the fruit because they're the fermentation. And then I was like, ooh, I'll do a peach one. And the German lady was like, oh, just so you know, that's like- Fake, flavorous. And I was like, oh, is so you know, that's like. Fake flavors. Yeah. And I was like, oh, is it DeKyper peach tree schnapps? And she took out a bottle of DeKyper peach tree schnapps.

And I was like, okay, nevermind. And then Jocelyn was like, I might like that. These other ones are too strong for me. And then the German lady was like, okay. And Porter went and then Jocelyn was like, this is my favorite of the night. She's like Elaine. She's like Elaine.

Schnapps opens the vault. She's like Elaine. She's like a lane. She's like a lane Shots opens the vault. She's like a lane. She's quite funny Yeah, that's true. I like mine it all jives. It's just I Don't know if it's it's flatter and stronger Mine tastes like toothpaste Yeah, I Think that I think what I'm not liking about this is I'm not in the mood to chug beers or any really thing right now. And yeah, I did.

I did a half chug. I think we're Jeff. Yours makes sense because you're stiffening it up. Mike's you're in that like it's reminding me that this if this were to take off more this year, like the last couple years in the wake of the Spaghette were very much about. Take off, eh? Take off, eh?

Pouring a sweet liqueur into a beer, and that is what the peach one was. I wonder if anyone ever did like a peach cobblery beer type of a thing or whatever. Yeah. I don't know. Mikey, you seem down. I'm just unsure of my next move here. Yeah, I know. Mike, you seem down.

I'm just unsure of my next move here. You know, in life, in life so much as in the life of my drinking, the life of a vodka. So you have five Smirnoff ices in your fridge now. Yeah, yeah, too. I'll probably give mine to a local youth. You should you should be icing people all the time. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'll probably give mine to a local youth. You just ice. You should be icing people all the time.

Well, yeah, next time we go to a bar, I'm going to ice somebody. Yeah. You bring it into a bar. I'll get ice the bartender. He's like, no, no, you can't. I used the bartender. I master the drinks. But bartender is master of drinks. All right. Give me your final thoughts both of yous. I think it's great. I think absolutely. I was tuckered out on the beer cocktails after 2024, but if I were at a pool party this 4th of July and someone said, Tim, do you want to smear it off ice?

I'd say no. If they said, Tim, do you want to Coors light? I'd say, yes. They say, Tim, do you want an ice rocket? I'd say, yeah. It's like the Vince McMahon meme. Bigger and bigger. His eyes started glowing. I got to agree. I think it's, uh, we had one of these in the past recently where it was like it's better than the individual ingredients. Like I prefer this to a to a course and I prefer it to a smirnoff. Interesting. I would kind of need each other in my book.

It's hard for you to picture them outside of each other anymore. Yes. Yes. You see someone just drinking a silver bullet at the beach. You're like, bro. I'm like damn half an ice rocket Like is that even possible? Hey guys are serving half ice rockets two-third ice rockets But apparently they only sell them to fucking idiot. Do you guys remember? Did I bring this up on the pod before? Back at the old house. I would always make two sandwiches Mm-hmm two turkey burgers Well, yeah, or just two sliced turkey sandwiches, always make two sandwiches. Two turkey burgers.

Well, yeah, or just two sliced turkey sandwiches. But you're right, it's funny they're both turkey. That's not important to the story. But Shiner, who we lived with, picked up on that. And then he saw somebody eating a sandwich and he said, oh, you eating a half, Jeff? That's good. I like that guy. Very good. He's a hell of a guy.

Me too. And my take on this one, it's an order again, but it's not, it's order again because the other option is not order again. You know what I mean? This isn't something I'm dying to do next. How do you, how do you mean? Well, like we've got two options here. But Mike, how does, yes or does, how does the ice rocket stand up

to just a silver bullet on its own for you? Oh yeah, I like a silver bullet better. Okay, okay, fair enough. But I wouldn't chug a silver bullet. That's so strange. Yeah, yeah, right. This drink is so strange because it's like we've just been like,

okay, here's the drink, gool. I mean, I don't, I don't want to chug anything. I only chug it for the, Yeah, yeah. For the TikTok glory, but in my life, I don't want to chug anything. I only chug it for the, yeah. Yeah. For the tick tock glory. But in my life, I don't like to chug. I don't even like shooting my shots. When I do a city wide, I like to sip on my Jim beam. You do? Nice. Y'all. Here's what gets me and it probably gets to him even more. So he's just being putting on a, um, a stiff upper lip is, uh,

guys, I thought we really had something with that Alpine crush. We need a hit. Oh yeah. We can't have the internet scooping us and trumping us with, you know, goose-dubbed versions of our own drinks. We need a hit.

Yeah. I will lay down, I'll give it up, much like how Tom Sharpling gave us the crown and said that we're the new classic guys. I will say that my Alpine crush, I was going for more of a ski lodge vibe. This doesn't do that, it's more summery,

but the idea that Coors with the mountains on the thing and then Smirnoff Ice, it emotionally ties together and it's a better flavor than my creation. So they win. But Jeff, we have the Carmen Miranda cocktail, which untested. We still got to work on this. That's the one. And that was derived from what?

I forget her hat. It's derived from the silk panties. It's from all the, it's, it's from all the peach schnapps-y sexy drinks of the 80s. But we decided if you put like, we'll figure it out, but we should be like, you gotta have an ounce of four or more schnapps-es. Yeah, right.

So it's an ounce of vodka and an ounce of, one ounce that share different fruits, all the tropic can of flavors of the. But but like get as many fruits in there as you can. Oh, but we're not even going to like that. That's just out there like. No, we would. No, we would. We would say triple sec peach schnapps. And we got to pick the other two. I would also Asterix that and be like, yo, whatever you got,

if you got four fruit schnapps is so like, like how jungle juice can be anything. That doesn't make it marketable for a sloppy boys drink. We need to make it like, this is the recipe. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Four fruit schnapps. That's kind of. Normally I'm the hard ass. This is how you deal with me all the time.

You are giving them a lot. I think Jeff, this is, this is a, I think a sure sign that it's time to end the app. No, I got more to say.. I think, Jeff, this is a, I think a sure sign that it's time to end the app. No, I got more to say. I don't know, Christ. But Jeff, I could've sworn. I'm kind of done, so I'm just gonna end this.

Mike, you take your headphones off. Jeff, I could've sworn that in the last week at your place, we were like, oh, that's another idea for a drink, and we were like, yeah, I'd like the Carmen Miranda one, but it was something else. It's like the Carmen. It was like the grape ape. But here I was out on errands.

And I might've brought up that every once in a while I'll do a white monster. Not normally a monster guy. I don't like the branding and all that stuff. But I got into a white monster and they didn't have them where I was, but they had purple. And I was like, I bet that's that same fake grape,

ultraviolet they call it. And sure enough it was, but this grape, it's not like the poppy, it's not like the slice, it's not like the sun kissed, this is unhealthy taurine, drink, energy drink, fake grape. And I was like, if you make a great paper with this and you add another straw or like we were saying, the boba straw, the thick straw and we call it a grape gorilla.

Oh, or hey, even bigger grape, Kong, the grape, Kong, damn. Be good. Bulma straw, fucking Toreen, fucking flying, bro. Oh, you know what I did? I had I made a grape ape with tequila. Oh, it was the same thing with the other grape. You're really just taking taste in the grape.

But it was a little hint of tequila. So if you want a little extra kick, you know, that's killer shines through a little more than the grape, but it was a little hint of tequila. So if you want a little extra kick, you know, that's Kila shines through a little more than the vodka, but still pretty gravy. Damn. We got some solid leads for this summer. I think I feel like this summer should be our thing where we come up with the hit drink. Yeah, for sure. We got it in the bag.

I think, though, we had to have been doing it like now. It's got to be out yesterday. Because, like now. It's gotta be out. Like yesterday. Today. Because like you said, Lady Gaga's already got the song this summer. This came out in February. It's like they say, the best time to plant a tree is a year ago.

The next best time is right now. Shit. Yeah, but what about tomorrow? Can I put it off? Tim, you're never gonna get ahead in this life with that attitude. I'm never gonna get ahead in this life with that attitude. I'm never gonna get ahead in this life. You remind me of my curly redheaded friend, Tim.

Tomorrow, tomorrow we'll do it. Ronald McDonald? And... Ronald McDonnie! That's our show! Follow us on social media at The Sloppy Boys where we release these recipes ahead of time. And if you can't get enough boys, patreon.com slash the sloppy boys. I'm tired of saying it, folks.

That's how you help independent artists put on the content that you love so much. You don't want to give it to a Bezos. You don't want to give it to Viacom. Folks, if you want to help the show, you don't want to do the Patreon. Here's something you can do in like two clicks. Oh, yeah. Go to your preferred pod app. For me, that would be Apple Podcasts. Spotify for me.

We need all you sloth heads to both follow the show and auto download. You probably already follow us because that hasn't changed. But what has is that auto downloading new episodes is no longer the default setting. Yeah. And podcast metrics have taken a huge hit across the board. These are the numbers that correspond very directly to our advertisers, to our platform, and to our wallets. Yeah.

What we're asking listeners to do is make sure that on whatever podcast app they use, that their episode is auto downloaded, right? That's what I'm saying, baby. Yes. On Apple Podcasts, go to the show page, hit the down arrow, and click auto-download. On Spotify, go to the show page, click the gear button, and press auto-download. Do that, folks. It's super easy.

Help us out. It's like two clicks. I'm going to do that. The only podcast I listen to every week is Les's like two clicks. I'm going to do that. The only podcast I listened to every week is Les Cultureistas, but so I'm going to make sure that I'm auto downloading it. That's very good of you, Tim.

Mm-hmm. Folks, we love you and we love, you know, we're expanding over here at the Sloppy Boys. We love that you're bringing in new people all the time. We see you out there. If you're a new listener, we appreciate you.

Hey, we'll see you next week. Tell a friend why don't you? Oh, and bring a friend to a show in Portsmouth, Brattleboro and Westerly. Yeah, I know who I'm going to be bringing to the pod next week. Two friends. Yeah. See you there. Bye, folks. We'll all find out who we brought next week. Bye, folks. We'll all find out who we brought next week Bye folks
