Hi, I'm Sophia Lopercaro, host of the Before the Chorus podcast. We dive into the life experiences behind the music we love. Artists of all genres are welcome, and I've been joined by some pretty amazing folks like Glass Animals... I guess that was the idea, to try something personal and see what happened. ...and Japanese Breakfast. I thought that the most surprising thing I could offer was an album about joy. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, and remember, so much happens before the chorus.

Hey, folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys, where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton along with Mike Hanford. Hello. And Tim Kalpakis. What do you use up? Ooh, Tim, back from the boat. Yeah, that's true.

Back from the boat. If you go on a boat whatsoever, the next time you see anyone, to that person, you are back from the boat. If you, if you go on a boat whatsoever, the next time you see anyone, it's to that person, you are back from the boat. Yeah. Now, yeah, yeah. Because Mike went on a cruise for a week. I was at an Airbnb for one night, but I'm back from the boat. Yeah.

Well, we both were back from the boat in a, in a most technical way. Let me ask you this, you two. Now we've had, the last two episodes, we've had guests, right? Yeah. Great guests. Great guests. Care to name them, Jeff? Stefan and Neil.

I couldn't remember. I, but I'm thinking to myself, God, we've been, we've been hosting so much. Hosting, hosting. How are you two doing? I feel like I haven't had some one on two time in a while. Let me bro down with the bull. I mean, look, look, I love we have a guest, especially guests with such

mmm, sparkling personalities, prestige. I like that such pedigree, such pedigree. But, you know, then it's like I miss what's going on in your lives. Yeah, if I see you're still doing the yellow hair, it's great. Tim, Tim, the mustache. I love, I see you're still doing the yellow hair. It's great. Tim! Tim, the mustache. I love the mustache.

I'm still doing the mustache. Well, you're all caught up on your friends. Oh my God. Now Jeff's sipping water. So he's doing water still. Jeff, I am too. Hydrated. Oh, very day.

I have to. It's so hot here. I just came off of like, oh, four straight days of very, very hot weather. It's going to be hot out here for the next like 10 days. I love it. I was talking to my dad the other day. He's like, oh yeah, it's uh, I heard on the news it's going to be like a real hot summer. You heard that? You heard that already? Oh,

that's some good dad talk. Dad's love though. It's so funny that just hearing that. Oh, that news only makes its way to a dad. Like the rest of us are looking at a 10 day forecast, but a dad is like, yep. The whole summer is going to be all. That's so funny. My mom sent me a, there's a guy, their neighbor, their friend who has a massive toy boat collection. Like two, like I'm going to say 20,000 toy boats. And he,

he has a room for it all across different manufacturers and genres and periods. And the local news, New Hampshire Chronicle did a piece on that, like a local interest piece. And my mom sent it to me and was just like, have you watched this? It's great. I think it's going to be picked up national news. Like a special interest piece on the national news. Yeah. Like the way we pick it up. It's just so funny to me. I was like, oh yeah, that's a lot of eyeballs. And like, I was like, wait a minute, I, I haven't given one thought to like, like virality never entered her brain. National news never entered

my brain. National news never entered my brain. It's funny. I've been, when my parents were here, I was watching like just the nightly news, like the 10 o'clock news before we would go to bed. Yeah. And which I kind of, you know what I kind of like? I like putting on the, like the evening news or like the six o'clock news.

It just feels like you're like, oh my, but the city I live in has like a story going on. It makes me a little more connected. You need a Mort Krim. Yeah, right. Wait, is Mort Krim the fake guy? Who's the real guy? Mort Krim is real.

And then on Detroiters, they got the real guy. Okay, but he's on Detroiters. But there was another guy that was Mort Krim-ish that we did a whole, oh, Bill Bonds? You need a Bill Bonds. Bill Bonds, yeah, from Detroit. We did that in the Detroit live episode. Because that's, imagine if you weren't getting your news

from Tucker Carlson. Imagine you're getting your news from a guy that you might bump into at the grocery store, and he's like, I'm pissed about the local team, and I'm pissed about the new law about the bars. And I'm pissed drunk. Yeah. Wasn't it, did we hear stories like he was like drunk,

drove all the time and it was just, it felt like, it felt like a anchorman era. He was an iconoclast. Right, right, right. There was also, have you guys seen, there's like an old news story that goes re-viral every once in a while. That's like about when the law happened about like driving drunk,

you can't drive at 0.08 that they like actually, whatever year that was, they dialed into that thing. They're like talking to some guy, like old guys on the local news complaining about it. And one guy, just like old guy with a trucker hat, like a factory worker guy, he's like, it's getting to the point now where you can't have a few beers and drive home from work.

Yeah, that's exactly the thing. I know, it's only like, it's like recent history where you could drive with a beer, open beer in your car in Texas, right? Oh, I think that's what it was. It was when the open container in the car law became official. You get into the plane, we can't have a few beers while you drive.

While driving. And so if I think back, the cars we have now obviously are very safe. We're using a lot of sensory technology. Right? Yeah, airbags. Airbags, anti-flip bars. But it's funny thinking old cars it, it was just like a lap,

a lap seat belt in the front and just kind of heavy metal things just kind of rumble around. Just tears you in half. You won't get thrown out of the car, but you might bonk your head. I get that's not so bad. The lap seat belt, the bench seat. Oh, man. That's very funny. My grandparents used to have what we used to, the bench seat. Oh man. That's very funny. My grandparents used to have what we used to call

the secret seat. You know what that is? No. In a station wagon? Oh, facing back. Yeah. In the back of the station wagon, it was like a two seater for like,

you could basically put like two children back there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the best. My friend who, he kind of lived out in the country and his parents had one of those and we would sit back there. But one time, I say he was out in the country, he had a salt, you know what deer salt lick is?

It's like, I think it's a hunting thing. It's like a big block of salt. I know him for a hamster, so I can imagine just bigger. Just as- Antlers on top of that. Yes, exactly. The chat GBT imagining of a. But it was in the back and we were licking it and his dad was like, Hey, what are you doing back there?

Like nothing. He's like, don't lick that salt like deers have been licking that. We're like, oh, it's like making out with a deer. We love the salty taste. Oh, this is why you're salt sensitive Mike. Yeah, because I've got a Rabideer rabies run through you blew out your receptors back in the station wagon back in the secret seat Have you guys seen this thing with cars I saw this when I was in

Michigan recently Madison, I think there was a you've seen jeeps, people put rubber ducks across the front of like the dashboard of jeeps. No. Okay. I'm gonna look, I'm just gonna do a quick. You talking like on the dashboard in the car? Yeah, like lined up across the dashboard in the wind, behind the windshield.

I see people doing all sorts of weird shit I wouldn't be caught dead doing. I'm gonna look up to see what that is. People doing like fake grass on the dashboard with like miniature farm creatures and stuff. Yeah. Actually, I like it. I wouldn't do it, but I like it.

I like seeing it. Okay. Well, you had a change of heart. I take it all back. I love it. You're real Ebenezer Scrooge. All I had to do was think about it for two seconds. OK, wait a minute.

Jeep ducking. So it's called Jeep ducking. It's on Wikipedia. Jeep ducking, also known as duck duck Jeep, is a custom among owners of Jeep vehicles in which they leave rubber ducks on their Jeep Wrangler car, on other Jeep Wrangler cars. Oh.

What the hell? The origins of this gesture have been attributed. On others? Interesting. Yeah, have been a trip on others. You have been attributed to Alison Parliament, a Canadian resident of Alabama in 2020 during the early days of COVID. She had purchased rubber ducks to hide at a Canadian friend's house as a way to thank that friend. I thank the friend for letting her visit.

After having unpleasant interaction with the other person's parking lot, a convenience store, she stated that she felt inspired to leave one of the ducks on a Jeep in a parking lot with a simple note saying, nice Jeep as an act of kindness. On the Jeep apartment. Okay. I mean, I don't do that with cars, but if I ever like leave somebody's house,

I always leave a rubber duck behind. Thanks for having me. And I always have a big satchel of rubber ducks with me wherever I go. I did that make any sense to you? I mean, I was kind of like fumbling through some of these words because I was trying to understand what was going on. Well, that for me and Jeff, that was a factor. See, because you have the added benefit, you get to hear yourself,

but then you're also looking at the words. Yeah, but I'm not paying attention. We really all all we got is what you're saying. Altercation in the parking lot. I'm not even paying attention because I'm worried about getting the words right. Oh God. I'm seeing cars absolutely covered in ducks.

So I guess what, if you have a duck left on your Jeep, you add it to your row. Yeah, but I'm seeing Jeeps with like a hundred ducks on the hood. How much? Mike, the thing you're saying about how you are not understanding it because you're focused on reading it, that's how I feel every time I've ever done a table read for a script or

if you're like acting in a thing or whatever, I'm like, Tim, time to think about your performance. And then you like read a script and then you're like, how do you like the script? I'm like, I don't fucking know. I was doing my thing. The Tim character needs work. But I for real can't, and it was hard because I taught sketch writing at UCB and I would have to remind myself, when I taught I didn't read, I had everyone read

and then a lot of teachers would read the action and I didn't, I picked somebody else to read the action because I was like, even if I'm reading the action, I'm like really selling the action. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good because Tim, you know yourself, that's good. That's one must know one's true self. Yes.

Is that one of the teachings of the five cups? It's one of the teaching of the man. Right, the man. The five cups were owned by the man. The man has so many teachings. Or the man poured the five cups perhaps. Man, you know what? I think we've only scratched the surface

of what the man can teach us. You think we're gonna find more findings from the man? Well, he's definitely wise because he's wiser than the boy, that's for sure, because he's the boy in the future. Yes, yes, and we shan't go on to what happened after they met and enjoyed the thing. Folks, listen to our Five Cups episode from a month ago. It's really enlightening.

It's a brand new drink. You probably know the drink because it's taken the nation by storm. You're all doing it all the time. It's becoming a problem how much people do the Five Cups. It's a nuisance. If you listen to the pod, you understand its secret origins. Are you guys are you guys

dabbling with any fun drinks this summer? This is a good question. Are you finding are you finding, hey, what's my drink of the summer? Not that I need to find the drink of the summer. What am I doing? Mike, buckle up, because I actually have an answer for this. For my lap buckle on cow. Yes. What do I have to buckle up? You have Mike buckle up. Cause I actually have an answer for this. I'm off of my lap buckle on cow. Yes. What do I have to buckle up?

You have to buckle up as well. Okay. Hold on. The Mike buckle up rule applies to Jeff. Jeff will take this in stride. Mike, you got to buckle up. You can, we know you, you can't handle this type of news. Something popped into my fucking head. I was at little Joy in Echo Park.

Yes. Hot day, wide open bar, open to the outside, you know, daytime. Hot day, hot guy, I love it. Exactly. And this isn't the old Little Joy, Mike. This is new. Oh, yes.

It's revamped and nice. It's quite beige now. They blew out the front walls and it's like the open air, which I like, but I like the old one. It's all white and like pale beige. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks like Jurassic Park in there. And it's a trendy bar.

Last summer, they were quick to get the spaghetti on their menu. They've got the naked and famous going there. I'll tell you that much. Everyone does. You know you just have these moments where you're just on their menu. They've got the naked and famous going there, I'll tell you that much, everyone knows. You know you just have these moments where you're just sort of touched by grace. I was sort of in the mood, I often like to, I like to,

do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. That's the name of that song. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Yes, Glenn Miller, Tim, go on. Glenn Miller was like that. People love he was like a band leader who was famous like two days rappers.

Glenn Miller was a fucking G. OK, that he was bigger than little baby in something I've been I've been wanting to. I've been wanting to in this summer been wanting to, in this summer, something about the sticky dog days, right now we're right smack in the middle of summer. Isn't it funny?

You can't even judge a summer, like we talk about the drink of the summer a lot or the song of the summer, but like sometimes you need some perspective to even look back and be like, that was the summer of that. So when you're in the middle of it, like here we are, it's really hot and I'm sitting around.

It's what summer 2025 it's like ice raids and love island and it's not for me, you know? Yeah, you know, that's funny that it's not like, would we have been calling this Brett summer by this time last year? Oh yeah. I think the album dropped like end of June maybe. So yeah, it doesn't feel like this summer

has like a thing yet, does it? Other than like ice raids and yeah. Tariffs. Right. Like shitty stuff. And actually, like not to talk, with Love Island I know that people watch that through a certain lens, I'm not saying there's anything wrong.

I've never seen. I mean, so the finale just happened like, I don't know, a few days ago. Finally, you guys clocked how big this was like. There's a lot of reality shows that like girls are talking about. But this show, it was on every night. It was they take like Wednesdays off. Oh, you're telling me about this. That's that's so that's why it's on every night. It was, they take like Wednesdays off. Oh, you were telling me about this.

That's, that's. So that's why it seemed ever present. And then it rolled right in. They had their one finale and it rolled into the next version of it. So but like we just live in a world where you go, it's like sports basically, because it's every night. So it's just like concerts. There's the, I get why I like that better than ice, right?

So I guess Love Island is the good thing of the summer. Yeah, that's a good thing. Yeah Doesn't have a nice knit love Island summer. I'm not hearing that anywhere. No Although the love Island guys as they're getting voted off a couple of more You know like you they're like in Fiji or whatever and then they're so they're getting really famous But they haven't gotten to be celebrities in the world yet. So then once you get voted off famous in like the woods but they haven't gotten to be celebrities in the world yet. So then once you get voted off. You're famous in like the woods.

Yeah, exactly. And then you enter to being like an A-list celebrity because it's the biggest thing going on in pop culture. So like, there was one lady who was like canceled because while she was on the show, people found old tweets where she used a slur. So then she comes back to America to be viled by the world. Like her first move as a celebrity is like,

I would like to apologize. Coming back from Vietnam. Wow. Hey dude, I know there's a lot of TV pods and stuff about being canceled. It would be funny though, if you did like Rambo first blood someone who's who starred in a dating show and then returned to thought they were going to get a better

return. Fucking, oh, I was just gonna say though, a couple of guys, their first move in Los Angeles coming back was to go to 4100. Hey, all right. Oh man, the word is out on that spot, huh? Yeah, and to anyone outside of LA, 4100 is just like the meat market,

it's like a big parking lot bar where there's a lot of 22 year olds going Hey, what's up? Hey? Smasher pass And us going nothing's up get away from me smash. Nothing's up you Claude I'm trying to have a podcast meeting with my two co-hosts and by the way smash smash burger that is

two co-hosts. And by the way, smash. Smash burger that is. Smash for the side of fries. Okay, wait, Tim, this was all headed towards a revelation about a drink. Oh shit. I don't even know how that would relate because this is just a drink I ordered, but maybe I was going to say I've been, I'd been finding myself reaching for bourbon this summer. Maybe I'm getting into the dog days early. Maybe it's, I'm having my, you know, the Southern sipper vibe when you look across the yard at your kid's grave.

It's kind of a dark summer vibe. You're sweating. This is the season for a summer sipper, isn't it? The sun's hanging low like you little nuts. I'm having sort of a whiskey summer and like bourbon. I'm having sort of a whiskey dick. You know whiskey dick works with other liquors as well? No, I got gin ass.

I just, I just found this out. I have tequila elbow. I got vodka balls. They sting like hell. So I love a whiskey sour, but I think that whiskey sour is like a risky drink to order at a bar. You don't know what you're going to get some lots of times

it's way too sour. Lots of times it's way too sweet. And I said to myself, not to mention the egg white of it all. Not to mention. And that's like, I love the egg white of it all, but not like all the time. This, this was a hot story.

I don't like the egg white of it all, all the time. I like the egg white of it all, all the time. I like the egg white of it some. Anyway, this. Sorry, I'm doing exactly what I was, Jeff and I are in a adding on mood. I can't stop myself from adding on mood clips here. It's tough. Please, this was a story about a drink I ordered, so.

We can have as many diversions as you like. I just passed over five just now. We eventually have to get this story out. I can't let it go. Maybe we do an after show. Okay, here's what I was saying. The math I did, the guy says, what do you want to drink?

And I said to myself, Tim, you're in the mood for maybe like a whiskey sour, like a sticky daytime whiskey sour would be fun, but I feel like it's gonna be too sour. And then I was like, I was like, how come whiskey sours are so dicey to order, but like margaritas, sure they can be too sweet sometimes, and sure they can be sour,

but margaritas are like kind of the people's drink. It's the most popular cocktail, you know? They're quite standard. They're like homogenized across all restaurants. Yeah, yeah. And they're just good. Nine out of 10 margaritas, if it's not way too sweet, I'm cool with it. So by the grace of God, this guy says,

"'What can I get you?' And I said, "'Can I have a margarita?' But actually I said, "'Hey, this is gonna be weird.'" And he was like, "'Okay.'" I was like, "'Can I have a margarita, but instead of tequila, can I have bourbon?' And he did not, maddened eye. He was like, "'Yep.'" And he made like, okay. I was like, can I have a margarita, but instead of tequila, can I have bourbon? And he did not, mad and I, he was like, yep. And he made it for me and he poured it for me.

And I was like, this is fantastic. This is just a really good whiskey sour. It's just, you know, it's like. You tricked him. Oh, what else is in a margarita? I'm missing, I'm forgetting the. A lime and triple sec. Yeah, and the salty rim. I'm not, maybe he wasman triple sec. Yeah. And the salty room.

I know, maybe he was even using a margarita mix. I don't know, but it was basically just a limey or a whiskey sour, but I was getting that bourbon, that southern bourbon warmth with the lime. Oh yeah, that depth. And I was like, dude, this is good, this works. He didn't give a fuck. And I was like, you gotta make these more, man.

And he's like, stop talking to me. But then I thought maybe I had invented my next huge drink and I will then, seems like a lot of people have had a bourbon margarita before. But. I wonder if it has a name, like some of these. The Tim. Can't think of a good example of a song if you, ooh.

Oh, the Tib. The Margaritim. The Margaritem. The Margaritem. T-I-B-V-E-F-U-F-O-K-H-E-D-C-O-L-D while you're talking. Tim, it's funny, or Jeff, it's funny you say that margaritas are ubiquitous everywhere, but they are. It's always funny when you go into a place like, it's margarita night, or like, here's our margarita menu.

It's like, well, everyone has margarita. It's not like a special thing. And also, I ain't talking about like, oh, we have a tropical margarita and a ginger margarita and a blueberry margarita. I'm talking straight ahead. I give me one margarita, my god. Give me one margarita. I want to give you some. Hey.

I would say rather than all those other very lots of times, there's 10 margarita on the menu. And I'm like, I like the difference between the house or the Tommy's or the Cadillac. Those are the ones you're looking at. Truly house Tommy's or like a lot of times, um, uh, rest in peace, uh, Mexico city restaurant. Yes. Their skinny margarita was actually the most, uh, IBA traditional. Oh, okay.

Cause it was just Lyman triple sec. I like that. It wasn't mix and whatever other sugary crap they do. And I'll say, my little, just as a little tag, my drink revelation is, uh, Mexico city has become Encanto. They were all out of whack. They had lost themselves. They didn't know what they were doing. And and then they came in and they did some sort of revamp. They revamped the restaurant.

Well, here's what was wrong with it. You used to go in there and you could get like there was some drink. I forget what it was, but it came with a line of salt like it was presented on like a mirrored tray like. Yeah. And it was they're kind of doing like a mirrored tray. Yeah. And it was there kind of doing like a coke joke with the salt. I can see that as an opening, like you're opening a restaurant, it's like, hey, that's that place that does this thing.

Yeah, I guess. And it's like, let's phase it out at certain points. I want to say it was even called the cartel or something like that. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, so they had lost themselves. They didn't know. They forgot who they were. They were wandering in the desert.

They needed help from the man. Yeah, and I think maybe the man had something to do with it. Because they shut down. Because you can't just pivot into change. You actually have to search within. Yep, yes. So they shut down. No business.

And then when they opened back up, new menu, they switched up the decor, and then they said $10 margaritas forever and always. Oh, nice. And in Los Feliz, that's a deal. Oh, yeah. I applaud them. That's the the cost code thing, right? The Costco dollar $50 for the hot dog and soda. Get him in the door. Get me in the door. I'll drink three of those neat chips and leave so happy. And you door, get me in the door. I'll drink three of those neat chips and leave so happy. And you just made 30 bucks in Kanto.

I applaud them for like taking the note. You know, like I'm sure that whoever designed that, hey, what's really funny is first, before that place even opened, there was a sign with a different name for like a year. And then I don't know what happened, but it had some kind of try hard, like hot topic ish type of name that then went away and then when Anaconda opened, they had such a specific

style, it was like, it was like this dark black, almost like almost like golf vibes in there and the food was good, but it was expensive and small plates and they were doing a specific thing and then I think that they just were like, you know what a lot of people just want margaritas and chips. And this is a part of town that's not looking for hard edge edgy. It's sort of a village. And they just took they took the note.

It felt West Side. There's a lot of places that have been popping up in Los Feliz that feel like oh West Side money, or like West Side interests like like Abbott Kinney, like crypto Venice type shit going on. It felt like incanto feels to me like that bar Sir from Vanderpumpers. Yes, dude. Or... Dude, is it part of the Sir thing?

I don't know. There was a beautiful Tiki bar sign near UCB. You know, it shut down. Tim, what was it called? It was from those guys. It was called Oh, yeah, and Schwartz Schwartz and Sandy's Sandy. Yeah, right, right, right. That's the guys. Yes, those are two guys But like you you walk in and it was so gaudy and like you could tell everything was expensive But it was like yeah, each of these things was expensive, but they're not brought together by a mind with taste

I know if all folks this this this week to blow out the subject is best Fuck what is it best or worst? Look for a dude What's happened over there Mike? I? Was so jazzed before I was chiming in I I was throwing in little things and I lost my cool. It's so hot here. You know what it is, you know what it is, it's because we haven't turned the corner into booze news.

cause I forget which guy was rude. We sat down, we placed our order, and then the like drinks never came. And then another guy came over, he's like, can I get you something? I was like, yeah, well, I think the other guy got us. And he was like, oh, he went to the bathroom. He just, he just take it.

And we're sitting at the bar. So it was so funny to just like see him take our order, walk away and forget about us. He's like, I don't remember it. I just have to take care of this. By the way, it was right after he said we could use our vouchers at the bar. That's what I was mad about. We were delayed for like a substantial amount of time. What was it like?

Yeah. Like many, many hours. But so the Delta or whoever gave everybody meal vouchers and we went up and he told us, yes, we could use them at the bar. What he didn't say was not for alcohol. Right. And we sat at the bar and I asked him, I said, we can use, we can use this here. And he was like, yep. And then they're ringing us up. And I'm like, what the fuck? I'm, I'm a, wait, how did this end Jeff? Because I remember we ended up getting food anyway. And we're like, fine,

well it'll pay for the food. There was that much time. That is funny. It's like anyone going to a bar isn't like, a bar is for drinks. Like you're not thinking, it's unusual to eat at a bar. So you wouldn't think like that's the. We're like, oh yeah, these guys want a ham sandwich. Yeah. Ooh, I could go for a ham sandwich.

But yeah, I thought I was going there for like one drink. And then when the guy said, after we were drinking the drinks, the guy said the voucher didn't work. I turned to Jeff and I was like, we're going to dine and dash. But then our flight was delayed a second time and it was like, we have to spend the whole day here.

I don't think I've ever dined and dashed. It was just that time would cross my mind. I've done, I played D&D, but not done a D&D. That's, you know, that's ridiculous to say. I feel like they're different. Yeah, and I've only played D&D once. Right. Were you the dungeon master? Yeah.

Yeah, I was just learning it. He's only played once, but he was the dungeon master. Okay, we're all orcs. That's the first thing. You're an orc, you're an orc. I get to be an orc. And guess what? No bad guys and we got all the emeralds we need.

No conflict. No conflict. We're gonna go, we're gonna have a nice walk through this mystical magical. It's time for a big orc nap. All right, if you roll, whatever number you roll, that's how many hours your orc nap is. I'm like, this is a 30 sided die, shut up.

Shut up. All right. Okay, what's the actual booze news? Do we even have any? Okay, well this is big booze news. Anyone who has been tracking booze news, this will be interesting to you because there was recently a story in the, oh I don't know, the Wall Street Journal.

And the headline is, Welcome in the two word greeting that's taking over and driving shoppers nuts. Why are they driving shoppers nuts? I don't know, but do you remember me talking about this a month ago in the fucking show? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you called it. I still haven't noticed it yet.

I said, this is happening, this is happening, and now the Wall Street Journal, the finance bros are getting in on it guys They want to know so what's the deal? What's the skinny and we want to know what you think tell us if you had to be welcomed in? Yeah, Tim. We want to know what you read about I read about the fact I mean, we still don't know that it's actual origin. We think it's possibly from this about the fact, I mean, we still don't know that it's actual origin. We think it's possibly from this chef in Texas

that had his staff, the recent boom in it. There was a chef in Texas who in 2012, like made it the thing that his staff would say, but it's been around for way longer than that. And this article is kind of just as perplexed as me and the other one. We're not really finding this one TikTok where somebody said it.

So their news team is no more Cracker Jack than ours. I'm out there. I'm on the same exact level as all of these news sources. But this article, I didn't really have a take on it. I never said I didn't like Welcome, and I just said I'm noticing it more now than ever. But this article is saying that, yeah, when you step into a bar, restaurant, coffee shop, store, you're very often welcomed by welcoming now. And it's bothering me. I think some people find it to be impersonal or not engaging. Or some people feel, I think it's just the fact

that you only hear it in like a commercial setting and it doesn't feel like something that families say to each other. So that I think it hits some people wrong. As if that's like the script maybe that they're, they're like, yeah, it feels like corporate script. Yeah. I mean, like, cause I did know that when I go to a coffee shop and they say it, I'm, I think I only think of it as a thing that other like corporate restaurants say, not something that like I say to my dad. Folks, start saying this at home with your kids. Yes, welcome. Gather your family around, tell them they're welcome in.

Welcome in. Yeah, I think this is the summer of welcoming it in. I think, I always think of like, somebody saying welcome, I think of that as like a, going into like a candle store, like a holistic spice store or something. Yeah. Welcome.

And like they'll be like, ding, ding, ding. Like coffee and tea and stuff. Like shop, cozy shops. Yeah, yeah. Yes, like, like not, not corporate stuff, but that's funny if corporations are like, yeah, let's make us seem like small mom, pop. I don't get that at Home Depot.

But I think that that's the thing is that traditionally I agree it would be like a small shop like welcome in. Yes, come buy a candle. Now I feel as like you step in and from across the big corporate thing, it's like, welcome in. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, right.

Welcome in, the 20 packs of sodas are in the back. Don't bother me, I'm gonna go take a shit. Don't bother me, we're out of noodles, we're out of pool noodles. I also think that it sounds welcome in, but it cuts off so I feel like I'm expecting to say, welcome in to the business, welcome inside the building. You know? Right, it feels incomplete. Welcome in the building. You know, right. It feels incomplete.

Welcome in. I don't like it. I'm not a fan. Well, that's it for booze news. Wrap it up. Wait, can I can I can I say a few things? Can I just say a few words? Oh, wait, you have you have major business. I got major booze news. I just want to say that I'm going to be doing live stand up in Toronto,

Ontario on July 26. And my good buddy, Sarah Hennessey, is opening for me there. And she's very funny. Then in August, August 7, I'll be in Cleveland, Ohio. August 8, Nashville, Tennessee. And then August 9, going back up to Ohio, Cincinnati. And then, well, it's September 13.

I'll be in Bethlehem, PA. But that's a ways off. But get tickets. But it's a ways off. But these shows are, I'm turning into a fantastic standup. Me too. I believe that. I'm going to go see all those shows. I'm going to laugh.

You just saw me recently, Tim. You were in New York and you saw me. I laughed my ass off. I saw you at the Dan and Joe DVD show at the Bell House, Joe Para, Dan LaCotta, Mike Hanford, crushing. Who stacked. You, yes, and Tim commented on, he said, oh, you work some new stuff.

So the set is constantly changing, folks. Oh, it's always evolving. It's evolving. Yeah, and see, I'm familiar with the set. So when I hear new stuff, I say, oh. Oh. This is new, this is new. New tag.

We should be laughing. Well, that was a great show and I'm gonna go see all Mike's shows and everyone else should come see me and Jeff's band, the Sloppy Boys, who Mike's actually in as well. We're going on tour this fall. Oh yeah. Starting in October, we're going to Nashville,

Chapel Hill, DC, Philly, Newark, New Jersey, Boston, Hamden, Connecticut, Woodstock, New York, New Jersey Boston Hamden, Connecticut Woodstock, New York Amherst, Massachusetts, Denver, Minneapolis, Milwaukee Chicago Indianapolis Columbus Pittsburgh Cincinnati Detroit Lansing Michigan come to those shows and be ready for some also big stuff coming New Year's ish. Oh, yeah, I would say late December be aware, but just be ready for something. Yeah. And I'd let's just say it's not out West and it's not the Midwest.

And the and it's not that we're making an announcement late December. Something is happening late December. Right. But I'll just leave it at that. That's it for booze news. And now we turn our attention to the drink of the day. Now this one gives me pause because it comes from the IBA, which if you're a new listener, you don't realize you just you just don't know that the first maybe 100, 200 episodes

where we were all do with they were all IBA drinks. We were shackled. Yeah. God, remember that shackled to the tradition. What a time that was where we had to be like, OK, which of these, you know, archaic drinks do we need to make? Like, which crazy ingredient drinks do we need to make? And how we're so free.

And I think the show is has benefited. Yeah, we conquered the IBA. But here, every once in a while, the IBA will come up with a new drink and add it to the list. I guess they redo their list every year, possibly. They kick some out, they boot some off, they add a couple. Not unlike Love Island.

Yeah. That's where Love Island got their show structure, I think. From the International Bartenders Association cocktail list? I have no idea, I've never seen their show. Their show structure, they think. From the International Bartenders Association cocktail list? I have no idea. I've never seen their show. Show structure. They had everything else worked out. And then they were like, what's our show structure?

We've got the actors, we've got the cameras. We got all these hot people. What are they going to do? Well, yeah, it is funny. It was a little more than a year ago that we completed the IBA list and then went off free to do whatever drink we want. But then I check in on them every once in a while,

see what that's up to. It's kind of like the way you guys- You sort of have like Munchausen syndrome. I think it was reminding me of like how you guys say you like to stalk your exes on Instagram. You go, oh, what's she doing? Who's she with? You son of a, I never-

Who's she with? What, she with him? She ever get that tattoo of me? Yeah, after the breakup she finally got it. Hey, that's not a tattoo of me, that's a tattoo of some new guy. It's a picture of her walking with her new husband and you're looking close, you're like,

did she get that tattoo of me? Why would she do that? She's married to this guy. Let's see if he's got a tattoo of me. No! He got a tattoo of himself. I'm starting to think I'm not a part of the equation. Can I tell a story?

Yeah. There was a girl that I was flirting with in college. And we would make out a little bit, but she said like, she said. I'm a film major, by the way. Kiss me, honey. She said something like, I'm not interested in having sex, or I don't want to have sex or like something like like that.

But it felt like a bigger life statement. I have a feeling like you hear that a lot, Jeff. Yeah. I don't want to have sex with you. I just like I don't have sex. I was like, cool. Yeah. And then, you know, like we remain friends and whatever. Yeah. Oh, you thought she was saying like, I'm a virgin for life. Well, I don't know, like I'm a virgin for life. I don't know, like whatever, whatever it was. But and then after college, we moved to L.A.

and then on her Facebook, I saw she was pregnant, like like a photo with like the big pregnant belly. And I was joking that I was going to message her. Whatever happened in our liking sex? You told me. Hey. Oh, is it cause you heard I have a thinny? I guess you liked it after all. What happened to all that shit you said?

Oh, well this makes me feel terrible. That's also kind of reminds me of my friend in Little League who had never been to a restaurant before and brought him to a restaurant and then 20 years later I looked at his Facebook and he was at Bugaboo Creek holding up a big coke. Because he's like wow look at the size of this coke. I turned him on to restaurants. Oh that's so funny.

Oh wait Tim, you were also, did you send us that video or did Dave of a dad like a big beer hates to see my dad coming And it's just like 50 times in a row this guy's dad ordering like a big Coors But but like specifically like the big one Holds out his two hands like showing like a tall beer and then and he says click it of course light And then he goes a big one biggest when you got he says, can I get a cruise light? And then he goes, a big one, biggest one you got? And we're like, this is always that. Biggest one you got?

It sounds like a Tim Robbins, like the big one, biggest one you got? It's so funny. I one time was at this resort up in the Catskills, the Mohonk Mountain House. I was sitting at the bar in the teeny little sidebar, intimate sidebar there. It's a place where a lot of rich people would go on their annual vacation. And I assume this at the bar in the teeny little side bar, intimate side bar there. It's a place where a lot of rich people would go

on their like annual vacation. And I assume this was the case. Cause I should probably start going there then. Cause you're old. He's got a wealth. Yeah. That's rich. So this rich old guy walks in, but he was, I hate the rich, but this was a cute old guy.

And he was kind of smiley. And he was rather droll. You know what I said? I said, I say, eat the rich with a side of the poor. Okay. So you're anti-human. I mean, it's a middle-class, middle-class, hardworking middle-class, eat the rich, eat the poor, eat the middle-class, Save the potatoes for me.

Go ahead. I just turned my AC on so I got some life back in me. It's not making sense. It's not funny, but at least I'm pumping in blood again. Go ahead. We are way off track here, Jeff. No, I was just going to say this guy's order, which I always remember. What's my problem?

Not my circus my monkeys We get because we're in boot. No, we're not in booze news. This is just circus We're leading into the drink that hasn't even been said. It's Jeff's whole show. Jesus Christ. No, it's not you're the host Tim continue Jeff shut up me. We're like almost at the hour mark. What the fuck is going on here? I also just want to drink this drink because I'm excited and I got an eye. Go ahead, go ahead, I'm getting way ahead.

I'm going to skip the story about the guy at Mohawk Mountain House. What I'm going to say was- Look it up yourself, folks. You do your own work. What I'm going to say is that I've been stalking the IVA World website to check what drinks they add every year, and then this is finally one where I said,

hey guys, check, look at this one, the Garibaldi you've had? No. Not had, sounds like a magician. Have you heard of the cocktail, the Garibaldi? I've heard the word Garibaldi in regarding the fish. Oh, a fish. There's a fish called a Garibaldi in regarding the fish. Oh, a fish. There's a fish called a Garibaldi. I saw on Catalina Island, those orange fish that are down there

are Garibaldi. Well, this is not a fish. This is a drink. And this is, are you talking, this is the ultimate aperitivo. This thing looks like a classic goldfish. Let's take a look. You got to look. Oh, I thought you meant. Let's take a look. You got to look.

I thought you meant the drink. Wait a minute. This is a golden. And the drink has kind of a golden look to it. It sort of looks like a Nemo cross with a goldfish. Yeah, but this is one of these goldfish that you wouldn't even get. This one's meaty.

Like when you say goldfish, I'm thinking something feasibly I could have had in my house. This is go to an aquarium and see, or go down to where are we? Florida Keys? Catalina Island. Yeah, he's a bit of a chunker. We should go to Catalina as a band.

We should, that's a fun place. We could get some Wikiwhackers. Yeah. They have a drink, they got a native drink there, the Wiki wacker. All right. Garibaldi. So I just got to say one more thing about the wiki wacker.

When you get it, you get a big, a big like straw hat. Yeah. At this one bar. And one time I was on vacation there with a with a girlfriend and we were walking into our or from our hotel room. We could hear down in the little patio below, Ma, no, where's my suitcase? It's right over here, Michael.

It was Mike Mitchell and his mom and sister on vacation. And I was like, bitch. And we went out to dinner with them and stuff and hung out. And I think they did Wiki Whackers at one point. It's like a pina colada basically, right? Kind of a vibe? Yeah, yeah, I think so. Yes.

I smell a Sloppy Boys episode. I smell a trip to Ghiribaldi land. Pfft, phew, it stinks. Ugh. It's a bad smell. Sounds like a washed up gear of Baldy around here. It's like an acquired, you know, it's like the gas station. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I love the smell of the gas station. Me too. Me too. But I didn't have to acquire it. I was a kid going, oh, mama. Ma, can we go to the gas station? I got a huff. Tim, when you rather go to Toys R Us? No. I prefer Exxon.

I'm starting to get used to the smell of the electric charge up stations too. Kind of like that. Zap. Electrons. Yes. How do you make this little motherfucker? I didn't tell you the story.

Do you even care? I thought we were skipping the story. No, we're not skipping it. We haven't said anything. Nothing has happened in this whole episode. If we skipped the story, what happened today? Here's my promise to you. I am keeping my lips sealed until you finish

and we're saying, okay, let's make the drink. I'm done. Okay. I'm speaking directly to the listener. Jeff, Mike, you tune out, folks. This is an aperitif, okay? It's orange juice and it's Campari. Now I know what you're thinking.

Campari, that's from up, that's Northern Italy. They make that up near Milan, right? And then you're also thinking, wait, wait, orange juice, oranges, they're down south. They're down in like, down near like Sicily. So you're saying this one drink is sort of like Northern Italy and Southern Italy all coming together in one simple two ingredient drink. Well, that's why this drink is named for Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian general who united the north and

the south. Oh, very nice. You guys listen to that too? Yeah, we could listen. We just couldn't speak. You guys listen to that too? Yeah, we could listen, we just couldn't speak. Oh. No, I didn't know if you were listening, but you're always allowed to speak on the puff. No, I'm not speaking until we got to go make it. Okay, let's go make it because we're so deep into the show. I don't want new listeners to think it's normally this weird.

Is it always this jerk around? Right, we have all these people that are like, Hey, I'm a Digman fan, I'm a Pup fan, I'm a Rosenstock fan. I'm going to check out the show. What do they do? They what do they even do? They don't even do anything. Why? Hey, I'm a Dutton fan. What? He's involved in this shit. Huh? Okay, folks, here you go. This is where you can some people make this as a 50, but not here at the IBA. We're going to use the IBA recipe, which is 45 milliliters, ounce and a half, bitter Campari, 120 milliliters, four ounces, freshly squeezed orange juice. Build all ingredients in a highball glass filled with ice, garnished with an orange wedge.

Now, they made that really simple. I've done some research. There's so much talk about this drink, about the orange juice being fluffy. Sometimes, some people are putting it in a blender, straining it, putting it in a blender. Some people are using one of those latte milk fluffers that goes down and spins around.

Some people do a dry shake with the OJ. Just know you're supposed to use some, this drink lives or dies, it's supposed to be fluffy, and it's supposed to be a perfect, bitter, something is supposed to happen here with fluffiness and compari. I'm going to do a dry shake. Yeah, I'll do a dry shake.

And so that's funny that fluffy's got nothing to do with pulp. Like they really want it whipped almost. They want you to strain your pulp. Well, the IBA didn't say that. IBA says do whatever you want. All right, folks, we're going to go make these drinks. And when we come back, for sips.

Hi, I'm Sophia Lopercaro, host of the Before the Chorus podcast. We dive into the life experiences behind the music we love. Artists of all genres are welcome and I've been joined by some pretty amazing folks like Glass Animals. I guess that was the idea, was to try something personal and see what happened. And Japanese Breakfast. I thought that the most surprising thing I could offer was an album about joy. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts. Oh and remember, so much happens before the chorus. We're here for the band!

We're here for the band! Let me make this perfectly fucking plan! And we're back with Garibaldi's in hand. Let's see him. A nice color there. Beautiful drink. I had a bit more of the gradient, the tequila sunrise gradient at first,

but I wanted to involve all ingredients. Wow. So I stirred. Did you put the, you put the Cambrian first? Yeah, cause they said building glass, right? Or at least on the I stirred. Did you put the Campari in first? Yeah, because they said building glass, right? Or at least on the IBA. And then I dry shook my OJ and then measured out the 120. So it's perfect.

I dry shook it with the Campari in it. Oh. I was a little confused on that. Now what you really did was involve those ingredients. No, that's good. I should have done that. I got them involved. I was expecting mine to look more like a tequila sunrise

because there's gradients online, but yeah, mine just sort of then mixed all together right away and became most red indeed. Not unlike the red coats worn by Garibaldi's army. Really? So we like the red coats. In this case, yes. In this case, the red coats are coming for a drink.

I'm going for it. Yeah, so it's sips. Mm hmm. Now, that might be the best use of a bitter, ashy Campari I've ever had. I understand this, Mike, because you would have never liked Campari, you find it ashy, not a fan, but fresh squeezed orange juice is maybe one of Earth's finest gifts. Delights, yes. Liquid delights.

Delights, sorry. I apologize for saying gifts, I meant to say liquid delights. Yeah, liquid delights, because you've got solid delights like diamonds and other rocks and gems. This is very good. You know what it tastes like to me? It kind of tastes like grapefruit juice. It's like bitter orange juice.

Is this how they make grapefruit juice? What's the, I don't have it in front of me. What's the Campari ABV? Like, is this a strong era? I think I think this is a weaky, but it's stronger than. Oh, yeah, it is weak. 24 percent. Right. But it's not consistent in all regions or in all countries. Maybe you'll pop a little maybe a pop, a little lemon

absolute in there. Citrone, this guy is wilded out. a little, maybe a pop of little lemon absolute in there. Citrone, this guy's wilded out. Man, that's so funny, because I knew Campari is the stronger cousin of Aperol. But- Oh yeah. Yeah, because Aperol's sweeter. Mostly in flavor.

Aperol's ranking in at 11% ABV. That's like a strong beer. That's like nothing. Yeah. It is good. This is fantastic. And I'll say about the low ABV of it all is that's by design. This is Italian aperitivo. It's a pre meal drink and it's supposed to ease you into your drinking for the day.

You don't want to be face down in your linguine. Exactly. You want to be loosened up for your linguine. Yeah, like the linguine itself. Hopefully the chef is loosening the linguine and you're loosening yourself. Now why would this not be a brunch classic everywhere in America? Good point. That's a very good point.

This is better than a mimosa. I'll tell you too, that's a classic. That Campari bottle is nice. I like the Campari side, the font. This is good. Damn, this is good. God damn, this is fucking good. This feels like a drink too.

I know we're not at second round two yet, but this could use a cherry maybe, or another fruit option or something. This is, I think you could dress this up, dress this down. You could fruit it up, like it's pretty bitter. I think I might've done a hair too much Campari, but just I'm surprised how ashy it's bitter. So we now just call on the show,

we just call it bitterness, ashiness. So we finally just given into Mike saying ashy over years and years. Now, what if someone sort of like bitter, they wanted something they didn't get it. Would you say that person that is in their cranky about it? They say they're being ashy. They're being compariesque. But hey, you know what I'm curious to do is I wonder if we could combine

Campari with grapefruit now. Oh, here we've made grapefruit. Bitter meets bitter. What if we do bitter meets bitter? But is that better? Your mouth would turn inside out, Jeff. You know, oh, no. Well, I was saving this.

Are we are we talking about second rounds yet? I mean, we're so deep in this show. We can work. We're so deep in this. I want to tell you guys, when I was getting my orange juice, first of all, I unfortunately was not able to get any good orange juice. So I just got like, just Tropic Canids. Just Tropic Canids, one of the leading names. Leading names at breakfast, OJ.

Leading names. But I thought to myself, I was like, I was just like a cooler in the deli near me. I said, now, wait a minute, what about orange soda with this? Oh, so I picked I got myself a Stewart's origin cream and then a like a Sunkist orange soda. OK, and I'm wondering if is different. Orange cream is different. Yeah.

Wait, what's the orange soda stewards? Just a swords. No, a crush or something. Crush. Yeah. But I'm wondering if an orange soda could be mixed into a drink. Maybe not for this. But, you know, we had such a good time with that grape gorilla with the orange soda. And why do all these sodas have such violent names? Crush, Slice,

Squirt. Squirt. What's next? Headbutt. Hey, do you have any cherry cola? Yeah, what flavor do you? Oh, sorry, I don't like Coke. Do you have Smush?

Why the long lead up for that? Why don't you say smushed? They're all present tense verbs. Yes, they're rather violent. Cut stab angle. Mangle meme. Digest anyway. Philly anyway. Digest. Anyway, filet. Anyway, filet. How do you think orange soda?

I'm going to give it a whirl. I'm going to give it a whirl with the Campari orange vanilla. My next one. You're crazy. That's nuts. You're going right to the creamy one. Yeah. Well, it's not creamy.

So like, it's just got kind of a, a, a Creamsicle. Creamsicle taste. Well, you're very on trend for summer of 2025. Creamsicle flavors are very in Michael. Huh? Damn, it seeped into me somehow. I've always loved him.

Why is it booming now? Cocktail wise, there's some, when I did a little roundup of drinks, predictions of the summer, there was some talk about the creamsicle. You know what I've been doing? We were talking about what drinks you've been doing this summer.

I've been enjoying, anytime I see like a cucumber thing. Do you have the hiccups? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I do. But I like cucumber. Well, why don't we get those sorted before we start the next round, Mike?

Trying to. I think it's one of those hiccups that it's not actual real hiccups. It's like when you're just kind of your throat and lungs and chest are all just trying to get equal. It'll be when you're like, oh, you want attention. I'll tell you what, one time on- They need a little love. On the new season of Digman, a celebrity who will remain-

July 23rd? That's right. A celebrity who will remain nameless came in to play a role and he was like, was recording with me and Neil, we're on a Zoom call with him. And he was like, oh, I've got the hiccups. And we were like, yeah, that's cool.

And then he started doing the lines and he had the hiccups and we're like, and then the hiccups didn't go away. And then we're like, it's like we're kind of not getting what we need here. We recorded for an hour and he had the hiccups the whole time. And then afterwards we asked the editor if we could cut

around it. No, you can't do it. And we just had to recast last minute and like have somebody else do the voice because it doesn't work. Recast because you get a hiccup. Wow. That's, that's a little, I think you can cut. If you get a couple of takes and the hiccups are all, you can cut around the hiccups. Yeah. Did you say can you, or do you want to? This guy was talking into the hiccups or all, you can cut around the hiccups. Yeah. Did you say, can you, or do you want to?

This guy was talking through his hiccups. That's crazy. When we're off air, I got to find out who this person was. All right, folks, we're going to make around two and we come back. Final thoughts. Hi, I'm Sophia Lopercaro, host of the Before the Chorus podcast. We dive into the life experiences behind the music we love. Artists of all genres are welcome, and I've been joined by some pretty amazing folks, like Glass Animals. I guess that was the idea, to try something personal and see what happened.

And Japanese Breakfast. I thought that the most surprising thing I could offer was an album about joy. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, and remember, so much happens before the chorus. could offer was an album about joy. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, and remember so much happens before the chorus. You got me drunk, man. You got me sloshed, dude. You got me tanked, Tommy! You got me plato, buddy boy. Oh, you got me right where you want me. We're back with round two of Garibaldi's.

Ooh. I went 50-50 this time. Ooh, nice. Ooh, OK. I did a little, I just did a little more. Oh, Jay, actually, with a little Luxardo cherry. Oh, just to sort of class up the affair. This lost the magic.

This just tastes like Campari, but the other version was something was happening. Mm hmm. Something happened. I still like it. And, you know, still eat a drink this even if it's like at night Oh, as an you would I would Guy who like chipped away at a Borg all week in my I I'll tell you what I I did the orange and cream soda, the Campari, and then I added an ounce of super chilled, absolute vodka. Wow.

And here's the thing, I topped up with the soda rather than just measure it out. I think it's mostly just soda taste. Like it's got a little tiny bit. Well, what's your review of that soda you're drinking? Why is your straw wobbly? You got like a wobbly straw and a big duff beer thing. Rubber straw. Orange drink. What are you doing? You look ridiculous.

This is so far from what Giuseppe Garibaldi stood for. This is what my other Garibaldi looked like. I've never seen a wobbly straw in my life. What is this? This one's actually an end after the fish. It's rubber. It's just a rubber straw. Jeff, have you ever seen a rubber straw?

No. Really? It's like a tube. It's like a catheter. Rubber straw is like for what babies use. Children with no teeth. It's floppy. Where do you buy one?

I don't know. I got a I got a bag of a little pouch. Like that looks like it's not intended for being a straw. Like you went to Home Depot and you cut a length of tube. You like this could be used as a straw. This one's kind of bad. This could be used as a straw. It's nice. All right. All right. Nothing there, really, I don't think. Our right. All right. Nothing there really, I don't think our final thoughts though.

Can I go first for every drink must bear our criticism. Yeah. I'll in my review. I'm going to say this. I just thought of this funny thing because it's an aperitivo. You drink it before dinner so you wouldn't drink it late at night. Listen to this. You would though.

Is it too late to drink Campari? Oh yeah, that's good. Even when you're ordering it? Because I know, oh, it's aperitivo. Is it too late now to drink? No, I already ate my linguine. Is it too late now for Campari? Yeah, that did that. Is it too late now for Campari? Yeah, that's good.

Is it too late now for Campari? Cause I already ate my linguine. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Damn, it's a shame that I didn't bump into Justin Bieber at a restaurant this week. Well, he's so reclusive. He's so reclusive. You may yet, you may yet.

Who knows? I may yet. At my review of the drink, guys, this is off the charts good for two, I love two ingredient drinks. I like Italian aperitivos and I'm into the lifestyle. So I think it's a 10 out of 10 stone cold classic.

The 50 50 is also good if you want to get drunk faster or you want it stiffer, but I think there was a magic to that orange juice with only an ounce and a half of booze in it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I like this drink. This is, I don't know if I'm gonna go as far as say, SCC, but this is an order again for me, for sure.

I think there's, as I'm drinking this orange and cream one, there's something here I'm gonna work on. Oh, in the test kitchen. Trust, trust and be ready. Prepare. That's good. Trust and prepare. Trust, trust and be ready. Prepare that. That's good. Trust that's like a like Spock.

Trust and be ready. OK, OK. For me, I like it. Shoot. Oh, shit. It is a brunch drink that like, why are we talking about this? It feels like a new challenger has has entered the ring. Airport morning, huh?

Us on tour, huh? Chuggable, chuggable. And also vitamin C. Yes. True. It's an order again. I did once declare another drink that I can't recall. Best use of Campari. Now this might be coming for the crown. Oh, Jungle Bird. That's why I like this, it tastes like a Jungle Bird.

Okay, that's what it was. Is that what it was? Mm-hmm. It's the tiki drink with Campari. Yeah, yeah, best use of Campari. I bet you I probably like a Jungle Bird better than this though. Yeah.

Second best use of Campari. That, and I agree, and that hurts my 10 out of 10 theory. I guess the jungle bird is better than 10. Second best. These amplifiers can get cranked up to the level of 11.

How about this for the verses? If it's like, like, I went to the cafe, but I was coming late from the bus stop. You know, like that time.

Do do do. Like he's telling about why he's not there in time to have an aperitivo before dinner. And like maybe they ordered for him so he's just showing up to eat. He did eat, he did, that's the thing. He did manage to eat. Oh, oh, oh, right, oh, that's what, like,

oh, maybe he was at a thing, like, You're like, I grabbed a banana. I got too hungry and I stopped at the run by a banana. He's more, like, concerned, like, is this, does this count as a meal, what I've eaten? Is it too late for Campari, based on what I've eaten? Can I no longer have it? I had a pack of pretzels and a banana, is that a meal?

Yeah, there's a certain amount of snacks that you can have that don't count as eating, Can I no longer have it? I had a pack of pretzels and a banana. Is that a meal? Yeah, there's a certain amount of snacks that you can have that don't count as eating. But if you've had too many snacks, you can no longer have them. I had half a pack of cotton candy, OK? Yeah. Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha. Oh, before we leave, I just need to ask Tim, when you were talking about fluffy orange juice, you were saying shake it to get it fluffy. You weren't talking about making it more like Gabriel and Glacius were you? making it more like yes I was gonna put a little Hawaiian shirt on it yeah okay okay cool bye folks bye bye Give it up for your boys!
