What is up? Thank you. Oh And where your host the sloppy boys ascend retain conquering Wait new classic guys send expand conquer retaining all over the East Coast this fall Mm-hmm as the new classic guys Yep. Yeah

appearing as the new classic guys and Jeff when you you're we said all over the East Coast you're referring to our fall And Jeff, when you said all over the East Coast, you're referring to our fall tour? Yeah, which is even more than the East Coast. Yeah, because you might say Nashville, Chapel Hill, DC, Philly, Newark, New Jersey, Boston, Hamden, Connecticut, Woodstock, New York, Amherst, Massachusetts, Denver, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus,

Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Detroit, Lansing. Wow. Woo. Yowansing. Ooh. Wow. Yowza. From the dome. From the dome he wrote it. Is it from the dome when you look at your cell phone? To dome. I used my dome to read.

Yeah, that's it. And to sound out the words. From brain to mouth, the dome is where it happens. From brain to mouth, those dome is where it happens. From brain to mouth, those words went south. Hmm, it rhymes, I'm not sure what it means. It rhymes, which is good. I know, Jeff, you're going to have my head for this, but I want to compliment Tim's shirt.

It's a nice shirt I don't think I've seen before. I'll allow it. Okay. Thank you, Jeff, first for allowing. Thank you, Mike, for the compliment. And just know, I've got two of these. Hey! Whoa, wait! Different colors. Okay. Thank you, Jeff, first for allowing. Thank you, Mike, for the compliment. And just know I've got two of these. Hey. Whoa, wait.

Different colors. Oh, for colors. Two of these, and you got two friends. Oh, I see, I see. Two color ways? I got this in sort of like orangey-pinky. I got warm colors and cool colors of the same flowery polo.

Oh, nice. It's a nice little flower pattern. To match your mood. I bring that up to talk about my own shirt, the shirt I'm wearing right now. We like it. You'll see it. Let me describe it. How would you describe this as a pocket tee?

It's a dark. It's kind of a black tie dye. Black tie dye. Black tie dye or like marbled. You know, I like it, Mike, because the tie dye is a little dated these days, but I feel like this black look you got going is almost a little bit of a metal head. Folks don't listen to him, Tye-Dye is not dated. Keep rocking it. Keep rocking it.

Keep buying those sloppy boys Tye-Dye shirts. Hold! Hold! Hold it! Where are your shirts? All the Tye-Dye guys. What's the difference between a black, like a Metallica T-shirt and a Tye-Dye thing? I got a little bit of a difference between a black,

like a Metallica t-shirt and a tie-dye thing. In the middle, that's sort of like, I imagine like a stoner or sludge rock type of guy. I could wear this to a sludge metal show. Now, Tim, that's exactly my thinking when, you know, you were saying the tie-dye might be a little done too much, the bright tie-dye. That's what I was thinking when I made this shirt.

Oh my fuck me. Uh-huh. You won. I came across on TikTok of all places a tie-dye making, a lady just making tie-dye shirts in her backyard. And I said, well, wait a minute. I'm cleaning my bathroom over here

and I've got a very bleachy spray for the mold and mildew culture. I'm turning brown to white. I'm turning brown to white. Why not turn? Your whole bathroom was brown ceiling to floor. Wait, wait, Mike, so you mean to tell me you didn't take a white shirt and dye the hell out of it.

You took a black shirt and bleach dyed it and bleach dyed it I got a bunch of rubber bands and just pinched it just kind of a grab I didn't not a spinner anything and I put in the tub sprayed it flipped it over sprayed again left it for a day Dude, it's cool. Why not? I can't believe it's white and not like, you know how when you bleach clothes accidentally you get they turn like orange That looks a little pinky. It's a little, it's probably just the lighting in here. It's a little.

Is this good podcasting? Is it good podcasting? Yes, yes. Okay, then continue. Well, it's not white, it's a little more of a darkish, it's a little purpley in there. Oh, I think I would like it. You'd love it, you'd love it.

And Tim, this is good, because I think a lot of our listeners are sort of like DIY artists in their own right. Yeah. Punk rockers, man. Scene kids, dude. Here's what I like about that, Mike. With a tie-dye, sometimes you run the risk of the dye fading, but bleach is bleached. That's on there, man. It ain't going anywhere. In fact, it's not on there. It is taking other stuff out, I believe. I believe that's how bleach is working. Now Mike, can we see the back? Can you do a little spin for us?

Give us a little fashion show. Oh, you got some brown back there. Wee hoo, wee hoo. It looks great, dude. It looks awesome. Wee hoo. It looks great, it came out well. I was so happy that it took me two seconds of thought to do

and it actually worked. You know, I see so much shit online it's like, hey, make a little, turn your golf bag into a cooler. And it's a guy, it's like that quick motion stuff and he's got little circular saws and he's cutting things and it's like, nobody, what are you talking about? Nobody can do this shit. Yeah, I've been turning my cooler into a golf bag

and it is not going well, man. Tell you what. Yeah, four shots of liquor. Club's all cold and shit. Yep. Yep. Well, do we get in some booze news? Bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, bip,

booze news, hit it. An extra bip that time. Yep. A breakfast sandwich bacon oh the ramen hungry baby yeah do I make you hungry oh yeah do I make you hungry baby the schnitzel you hungry baby oh Michael stovetop stuffing ooh turkey burger oh yeah slim jim oh plain mashed potatoes oh and I'm talking just the way I like it BK Whopper. Oh, Michael.

So it's like a couple bad baked potatoes. You can't even eat that. Oh, Michael. Egg bake. Those oh so hungry boys was sent to us by Tom Hand and if you have a booze news team email us at slobbypoospodcast.gmail.com. That was good. That was so funny.

A couple of bad baked potatoes. Because like I was laughing already because it's supposed to sound really good and then like some of them are like gas station jerky and like rubbery shrimp They don't sound all that good. And then soon as I started to notice it a couple bad big potatoes That was really good that was making me hungry to talk about all those saltless potatoes And jerky that that was who made that one to Tom hand who's good good He did the one that was like the fun van, you know, he's yeah That was that was really

It's like one of those obviously it's just words were saying they don't have Musicality to him, but he added like a bridge Music so now it just sounds like it's, oh, this is just listing off these stupid foods makes it sound exciting and important. Yeah, he's redefining what music can be. Yeah, what it should be. That was very good. Hand, the handyman.

Yeah, good job, Hand. OK, so for Boo's News, just right before we started recording, we were kind of referencing about how it's sort of a flop summer, right? Yeah. How's your summer? Anything cool up? Anything good other than Mike's fucking bleach tie-dye and My glorious floral. I'm working on my posture. That's my I'm getting better at that. Oh, yeah

We all have been I mean well, I mean I'm growing up in the birthday boys house. You can speak for all of us You know one of the names that we bandied about was the poor posture pals. You know what I bought and it didn't work for me, but maybe a more expensive one could work for you, Mike. On Amazon, I got like this like figure eight shaped strap that you put on your shoulders back and I got the cheap one that just felt like it was digging into my skin. I bet there's like a $500 one that does it for real. Right, right, right. I have one of those two in the same thing. I put it on like, and I'm like, okay,

this will be the week I wear this all week. And after a few minutes, I'm like, God damn, this thing's too pinchy. Pinchy. It pinched me. Damn. Yeah. The summer doesn't, that's not a lot of going on. Um, I'm kind of laying low to saving all my energy for the big tour. I already list on off all the dates. Fuck. That's OK. I got some dates you can list off for you. Hey, wait a minute. I'm not ready for these little bit of Monica in my life.

Folks, if you want to see me do some stand up comedy, come to Cleveland, Ohio on August 7th, Nashville, Tennessee, on August 8th, Cincinnati, Ohio. On August 9th, I, Ohio on August 9th. I'm doing stand up, baby. But so that's the highlight of the summer, but it is a bummer. Yeah, lots going on in August, that's good. Societally, culturally, for lots of reasons,

we were talking about how it's an indistinct summer. Actually, you know what's a funny one? Then we were talking about, it's not like it's some brat summer, but then one thing that happened was Charlie XCX got married out of nowhere. And she did. Yeah, that's more of an addendum to Brad Summer though.

But that's what's funny is like, I thought it was cool. She wore like traditional like wedding dress too. And then it was like kind of out of nowhere, like boom, that lady's married. And I was like, that's appropriate that I know like lots of people are happy for her. Hey, I'm happy for Charlie, but there's also something really un-Brad Summer

about the main brat getting married to her husband. About her whole natural moaning. It's like, remember how this was fun? Nah, that's... Now I'm married. Yeah, remember 365 party girl bumping that? It's not anymore. Well, she was married to,

or she's married to now a producer, right? He's like a musician. Charles XCX. Yeah, yeah. No, he's he's in a band. XCX. It's like the it's like the National Ears or something. No, it's something. Yeah. Bastille Day or something. Not something like a mural. Oh, seven. Nineteen seventy five.

That's exactly what I was picturing my head. Right. And that's why there was all the drama with with Taylor and Maddie Healy and the Charlie fans chanting, kill Taylor, or whatever. Kill Bill, maybe, if you're listening to last week's Sloppy Boyz Blowout, talking about Tarantino movies. In a way, I got to subscribe to that. It's only $5 a month, and I have a whole other episode a week of a whole different show

that's us riffing and having fun. Oh yeah, and you can listen to this show. You can listen to this show ad free. Right. And like the hosts are a little looser over on the blowout. They're a little more looser, a little more likable. I love that. A little more likable. Yeah. Well, anyway, I've heard more stuff about the summer being a bummer.

And I like or have you seen the TikTok trend, Jet Two holidays? No. Not worth explaining now, but that's the thing too, where people are using it and it's sort of the tone being a bummer summer. But then I thought, you know, it might be kind of nice to look at the lighter side of things. And I brought in a little bit of a lighter side news,

look at the lighter side of life. Okay, and you want to do that now? This is from CNES 5 News San Antonio. Oh. Okay, great. A serious mistake on the last day of school at Pease Middle School. A teacher handed out drinks to students, not realizing they contained alcohol. Northside ISD says a special education teacher brought several cans of hard Mountain Dew

Baja Blast, a spiked beverage with 5% alcohol, and made these drinks available to the students in three classes. Five students drank them. One child, who had also taken cough medicine that morning, ended up in the nurse's office feeling drowsy. His father says the school did not notify him until hours later. Our kids can't bring in cupcakes from HED

for birthday parties. Why are people allowed to bring all this other stuff and uncheck and give it to children? The drinks, which look and taste like regular soda, can be especially dangerous for kids. The National Poison Center says low blood sugar, seizures, and coma have been reported in severe cases. The district says it's investigating,

but so far no word on whether the teacher will face disciplinary action. For San Antonio's own KENS5, I'm Alyse Ineyadis. Download KENS5 Plus on your CD and watch KENS5 News and other great local programs for free. Apologize Ken's 5 for calling you CineS5. CineS.

Ken's 5. Okay. Well now wait a minute. So that was, I think they missed the note because we were trying to have like a fun, you know, fun highlight to the summer, blooper of the summer. They missed the note?

Yeah, Ken's five missed that. They missed the note because they were like, oh, it's bad, it's dangerous. That was supposed to be fun and uplifting. I did actually remember it being funny when I said I'm going to play this for the guys. But now I see that it's kind of sad. But I thought it was just funny

that some kids got drunk at school, but then also that's annoying to me. That father, like a thing happened, so it's like, I understand an angry father being like, I'm mad that kids got drunk, it's my kid got drunk from this teacher, but it's so small town school district PTA to be like, well how come when we wanted to bring in cupcakes

to the school, they said no to that, but then the teacher, and it's like, shut up, you have a chip on your shoulder about cupcakes from a year ago, that's not worth being on the news, you dumbass. I also think it's like, you see this on the news all the time and it's the news' fault for just like, putting their microphone in some regular person's face and they're like, oh, and like,

why do we need to hear from the parents? We know the parents don't like this. Like, there's no parents like, I'm okay with this one. Hey, it happened and that's okay. We can't bring in cupcakes, but somebody can bring in all this other stuff. It's like, this was, there's not all this other stuff. This was like a weird thing that happened.

It's like, we can't bring in cupcakes, but people can bring in accidental intent to bring in sodas and make an accident. Yeah. That is though, every time I see like a soda brand or a non-alcoholic brand doing an alcoholic drink, I'm like, man, that's so easily mistaken by a user. It's cause they look a lot like.

They do. I mean, I think if you aren't into this sort of thing, if you look at this box, there's a lot going on. What's it called Mountain Dew? Hard Mountain Dew Baja Blast. I think I would at least assume it's an energy drink because it looks sort of monsterish. Yeah. I mean, it does say hard

in capital letters above the whole thing, but still. But that doesn't, you know, if you're not, I don't think, if you're not in the know, you don't necessarily know what hard means. Yeah, exactly. You know what I mean? I mean, we do. We do, yeah, because we're old enough.

That's, that's, That's bad news, man. But it is funny thinking of it in the 90s sitcom version. Or a movie where Problem Child, for instance, would have something like this. Yes. It would be appropriate. Something funnier would happen rather than one kid got woozy and the reason was he had taken cough syrup that morning. So it was just a drug interaction.

These kids, I guess, can hold their liquor. I feel like I would have been had a lampshade on my head if I drank a hard. Well, only five of them drank them, so maybe they only had one. Plus you can't tell these kids at the end of school are going so crazy anyway, because they're so amped up on the idea of summer vacation.

They don't know that, oh, these guys are crazy. What are they on hopped up hard mountain dew? Who knows? No, they're just excited. Speaking of kids, speaking of summer, let me tell you guys about a metaphor I came up with when I was a kid.

And my parents recently reminded me of it. I was impressed with my young brilliance. You ready for this? Yes. You know, when you was a kid and my parents recently reminded me of it and I was impressed with my young brilliance. You ready for this? Yes. You know when you're a kid, grade school gets out like, it's like mid-June. Like three. Oh, okay. What'd you say? Like three.

Oh yeah. Well, it's called during the day, yes. Did I? Well, after your point, Tim, I got to make a very good point. I want to hear your point first. No, Tim, I gotta make a very good point. I wanna hear your point first. No, no, no, it's not good. No, I don't want people waiting through my metaphor waiting to hear Hanford's good point.

All right, all right, all right. I gotta say this, Jeff, I gotta call you out. What? I will say, Jeff, you are my friend, right? That's it, okay. And you're the friend who, you know, every time someone's trying to search for a word, you try to help them out and finish for them.

You have the- To be wrong. The worst batting average on that. Yeah, dude, what dictionary have you been reading, man? You are so fairly, you so rarely pick the right word. Well, maybe I'll be less helpful. I'll let you guys just fucking flounder. You're already being not helpful.

But I hear it on the podcast all the time or in life, and I'm always just like, Jeff, just never answer. Don't change a thing. That's not what I bring this up for. I just, it's something that I told myself next time it happens. I'm in, I don't remember. I'm in it. It's a fair point.

I'm glad you did. Well, the words you're pitching are always Duttonisms. It's all I I'm like, uh, you know, I met and you're like, uh, Wolverine. Uh, uh, uh, you don't have for lunch yesterday, uh, two turkey burgers. You can't have found them any experience outside of your own Jeff. I didn't mean to put you on blaster Jeff. I just, I love it. It's good pod fun. It is good pod fun. It's good pod fun. We're going to have words after the show, but it's good.

Mike's getting reamed. My note session is going to be bad. Go ahead, Tim. You had a story to tell. Here's a metaphor I came up when I was a kid. I told my parents. Because when you're in grade school, you get out mid-June, and then you go back toward the beginning of September. So I told my parents, I was like, hey, summer

is like a weekend. June is Friday night, July is Saturday, August is Sunday, and September is Monday morning. And if you think about how August, you get the Sunday scaries when you're like, see back to school signs up, but July is Saturday all month long. And June is just like, yeah, June is like.

Doesn't even count, freebie. I can't even plan this summer yet. Who knows what's gonna happen. Yeah, who knows? You just got out and you're just happy, but you don't even have to make any plans with doing shit. I'll break it in the flip flops. And then like your Sunday Scary set in in August,

but then September, it's like Labor Day weekend and stuff. It's almost like, this is bonus. I know I'm going back to school next week, but I already bought my new like Labor Day weekend and stuff. It's almost like this is bonus. It's like, I know I'm going back to school next week, but I already bought my new Trapper Keeper and it'll be okay. But it's like when you're a kid, sometimes you'll watch a cartoon when you're eating breakfast.

I know I'm in Mr. Rear's class. Gross, gay and rear, my three teachers. That's really. Between school years over the summer, just to give the kids a chance to settle down, they sent out a mailer to all of us. Hey, when September comes, we'd like to welcome our three new teachers, Mr. Gross, Mr. Gay, and Mrs. Rear. We advise you to get your help, your kids get all the jokes out.

I ran around screaming for a full month and was tuckered out by the time school started. Rears and gay and gruesome are coming. That's very good Tim. It reminds me of a great tweet I saw who will remain uncredited. It went like so. They were like, I can't explain it, but October, Thursday, and 7 p.m. are all the same. October, Thursday, and 7 p.m. And I said, yes, it's the beginning of Act Three, my boy.

Oh. Yeah. That's good. Yeah, I feel it. I feel you, Jay. Wow, that's really great. A lot of connections to be drawn in this life of ours. Yes. Yes. Is that it for Boo's News? Wrap it up.

Wow. Wow. Hell of a Boo's News segment. Boo's News was a good one this time around, and it's in the rear view now, unfortunately. I'm so glad that journalism is running strong here on the pod. It's probably the only place left. We really do get the stories that we get them down and out to the people.

We get them down right. We get them written down right and sent out to the people. Yep. Even when it's news of the weird on the lighter side. Even when it's news of the weird on the lighter side. You think the lighter side is going to come back much? Yes. Did I tell you that in Northville, New York, where my parents live up in the Adirondacks, there's a restaurant where there's a section of the menu

called the lighter side. And this is a menu that had not been updated since the 90s. And you would see some light meals. One of the things over there on the lighter side was fettuccine Alfredo. But it was like, the color is like, it's a beige dinner. I'll give you that. It's pasta and cheese.

It's, it's carby, it's fatty. It's the heaviest, most color thing on the menu, but it's the lighter side. They should say the bezier side. Is it like lighter side because of the color or just because like, we all know what spaghetti and meatballs is, but could you imagine a white sauce on it? I mean, everything else was like, you know, like the two turkey patties and cottage cheese

are like the like 90s versions of foods. So, I mean, Jeff heard about those two turkey patties and his eyes are lighting up. Today, we're not going to talk as much about, you know, turkey patties and lighter sides of things. Cause today, today, and for one day only, we are talking about a cocktail called the East Side. You've had? Never had. the East Side. You've had?

Never had. I have had. You've had? You've had, have you? And you've heard, obviously. You've heard, we've talked about it nonstop. I have had, I hadn't had one before this, but leading up to this, I was at a bar and I said,

I'll take an East Side, and they knew how to make it, and ooh, it was good, it was refreshing. Now this came up almost accidentally on pod, if I remember. Accidentally in love. Yes, because we were talking about the South side, or we were talking about the East side, but we were like, it's like the South side,

but have we done the East side before? No, we did the South side, now let's do the East side. And because we, yes, the South side is from Chicago and it's like a gin sour with mint. Yes. So that's the common thread. Yes, and now here's the East side cocktail. Let me, let me just tell you what's in it.

It's two ounces of gin, one ounce fresh lime juice, three fourths ounce simple syrup, eight mint leaves, two slices cucumber, and you're going to need a shaker, muddler, and a strainer, and a cocktail glass. I'm gonna slap my mint. Ooh, yeah. And a garnish, you want a thin slice of cucumber.

Lightly muddle the cucumber. Daddy! Don't, Tim. Daddy! Don't, Mike. Don't. Sorry. Lightly muddle the cucumber and mint leaves in a shaker.

Now that's a light muddle. Remember when we first learned about muddling, it was like, my brain was telling me, like mash it all down to a pulp. Pulverize. You're merely nudging. Couple pops, just a couple pops. You're just gonna push it a little bit.

Yeah, you're pushing the flavor out a little bit. Excuse me. You just wanna move it around the bottom of the shaker. Would some of that flavor wanna maybe come out? You don't have to, you don't have to, but I will say there's going to be some cucumber. I will say there's going to be some lime, you know, some lime coming in here, a little, you know.

Add liquid ingredients and shake well with ice straight into a chilled glass. Float the garnish on top of the drink. Ooh, float the garnish. I like that. This is a drink, and I'll get into the history. This is a drink though, did you guys look up any pictures of it?

Oh, I've had, so I have a mental picture. These, this is a drink where like, you'll, you see a lot of, it's a nice, it's dressed up nicely. Oh. If you put it in a nice thin glass, you know, it's, it's, it can be a classy, it's a nice looking, it makes you look nice classy. It's a nice looking makes you look nice

Very classy also what some of these people are doing to these Cucumbers making me blush over here. Hey You might be on the wrong site what they're making all sorts of roses and spirals and curlies and yeah That's good. Wow. Now, let me tell you about the history of this drink. This is a nice one because it's recent. 2004, it was created by George Delgado at Libation, which is in New York City in the, I'm guessing the Lower East Side. And this is 2004, so this is like the big cocktail pop of the early 2000s.

It was originally a long drink, you know, served with ice and a long glass, but then Christy Pope, who we've talked about before, yes? I don't remember. Milk and Honey, I think Tim would. Tim, you recognize that name? Christy Pope. Christy Pope.

Some's familiar, but I do not know. She brought it over to Milk and Honey, another, I don't know if that's still around, but that's another big cocktail. No, but that was, we went to Attaboy, and that's sort of in the lineage of Milk and Honey. That was like the next version of it? It's kind of the same kind of scene of bartenders,

I believe. Well, legend has it, she took it over to Milk and Honey where they popularized it as a straight up drink, losing the ice and putting it in a cocktail glass. Now, that seems pretty straightforward and I like these newer ones, newer drinks, because of the history, you can kind of believe it more, because there's a little better note keeping.

But people say that somebody else took that drink and really made it into what the Eastside is now. His name is a guy named Solomon, a bartender with the last name Solomon, brought it over to milk and honey. Like he took it from what's his name, Delgado, and made it into what it is today. But I don't know.

I heard that like Delgado and another guy came to Solomon and they were like, hi. Chad Solomon, Chad Solomon. They went up to Solomon and they were like fighting over who owned the East side. And then he said he cut it in half. And then Delgado was like, no, no. And then he said, ah, you are the true father.

And then Solomon said, ah, then I will say I'm the owner of it. Yep. Parable joke, Jeff. Laugh it up. Laugh it up, fun boy. No. No. This too, so it's 2004.

And you're thinking, why did this gin drink spring up in 2004? It's because Hendrix was making the scene. You see? And Hendrix has kind of a cucumber, it was a hero flavors of it, is cucumber and something, but cucumber. So then I think Hendrix was saying like, hey, use our stuff and he's like, hmm,

it has a cucumber-y thing. What would this work well with? And yeah, that totally tricked me when Hendrix started coming out and being like, whoa, this is this new, this is good stuff. And then realizing like, oh, it was brand new. It's not from like the 1800s. Right. Right, because we learned that the company Hendrix

has been around since the 1800s. So the bottle says established 1800s, but they didn't start making gin till like 99. I think Schramm, Schrammer told us. Well, I'm shocked because the south side is a classic cocktail. So I always just assumed that the east side was also a classic cocktail.

It's nice to know that it took 80 something years for someone to come up with this idea. And that this did sort of, this is in the rotation. To me, this is a wedding drink, daytime, spring, summer. Like, hey, the bride and groom have these two featured cocktails for cocktail hour at 5 p.m. And then that's what you have. This is a very spring summer drink,

which I'm so happy we're doing it now in August. And you've had cucumber on the brain, I feel. Oh yeah. I've been trying to have as more cucumber drinks this summer. I like those little green, are they like summer, are they Korean perhaps? I think they're called. Yeah.

In like a cucumber salad type? Just to the dump. Ah, gosh. They're about as thick as a nickel. More like a mosaic platter You know, I like I like you take a cucumber you put in some vinegar for a while. That's what I mean Now what happens pickle town it withers up Doing this thing with a cucumber on more off pod by making a cucumber disappear my god

Okay, all right, mr. Magic man Okay. All right. Mr. Magic man. I saw this too. In some article, people were calling it renegade spa water. Ooh, that they're trying to make it a bad ass thing. You know, it's already a nice thing. I like that. It's not spiked or hard. Renegade. Whoa. Renegade. Renegade Maverick. They know that any little kid at a school on the last day of school will be like, hey, I'm not touching any renegade. Renegade, yeah, well, Mrs. Rear gave me renegade Mountain Dew one time.

Ouch. What? She did. All right, let's go make these things. Wait, did you say the recipe? Yeah, I did it up top. Okay. No, and we're doing them up in a cocktail?

Yes, no ice. This is up in a cocktail. Close. All right, folks, we'll be back with more Sloppy Boys after these messages. Commercials. Suckers. suckers we're here for the bear e-sides in hand beautiful let's see him beautiful oh no let's spill yeah thin little wafer of a cucumber just floating on top Beautiful. Let's see him. Beautiful. Oh, don't wanna spill.

Yeah. Love that thin little wafer of a cucumber just floating on top. Yeah, it's nice. Now, I should have double strained. I got some little floaties in there with the Yeah, me too. pulverize.

It's funny the idea that you lightly muddle, but then you shake the shit out of it. So you're kind of, you know. I saw one recipe that said shake for 30 seconds. So they really want you to get that Smell that I'm swayed by the smell already. Let's do it. Can we go sips sips? Oh Swayed by the smell. Oh, that's so good. Oh stiff

That's two ounces there of that gin a Ginny thing Yeah, because it's gin and it's simple syrup. Oh my God, I forgot my lime. I'll be back. He forgot lime. It's a lot of lime, an ounce of lime. Jeff, when you squeeze a lime with one of those little spoon, whatever, you have one of those strainer, spooner.

That one lime is supposed to be one ounce. I had a tough time getting fucking limes out of this damn thing. Yeah. So you're squeezing lime. Yeah, squeezing lime. I like to have those little lime bottles, you know, shaped like a lime or a lemon. I've been doing the Santa Cruz. The, I don't know, it's like a little fancy, like the organic, not from concentrate lime,

but it's like always on sale at Albertsons, so In't know. It's like a little fancy, like the organic, not from concentrate line, but it's like always on sale at Albertsons, so I nab it. Ooh, it gives you a free Santa Cruz skateboard deck with it too. Ooh, I love that. It's funny that brand's been around for so long that like it's in California games, I want to say. Like the old.

The Nintendo game. The old like NES game. You boot that up and say, oh, Santa Cruz, that's so rare. That's funny. Well, huh, I'm going to stay silent until Tim comes. You wouldn't think a line would take this long. Well, you got to cut it up. Then you got to mush it up. And you get straining.

He's probably sending the whole thing back through the through the. He's probably just making a whole brand new one. Hey, you dropping in after this? Yeah, for now, I was just going to ask. Yes, I am. Oh, here he is. Hey. So, Tim, you're yours might have been especially stiff. It was sugary gin. Sugary gin.

Sugary gin. With a little kuk and mint. Okay, now is here my first official sip. Perfectly balanced and there you have it. This smells good. This would be a good, this is what the US Open should be making for people. Doesn't this remind you more of a- What about the honey deuce?

The honey deuce. This looks like a ball. Looks like the court and everything. Yeah, this is so fresh. It's a garden drink. This is like a ramble, like a bramble ramble type of drink, you know? Mm-hmm.

It makes me want to get a bunch of friends together at the park and bring this in a sneaky little vessel. Yeah. But also I want it's, it's, it's fancy. So I want to be wearing a white suit, no shoes, white suit, no pants, white suit, no pants, bottomless Jeff. I feel like I saw you at maybe a wedding or an event in the last couple of years, kind

of linen doubt, right? Top, bottom linen, flowy, blowy. I'll tell you what, I'm happy with this new trend in fashion that is the elastic tie. It's almost like wearing sweatpants, but when they're made out of like corduroy or canvas. Totally, totally. That is, especially at something like a wedding

when my suit is usually gonna be too tight and I'm just like, I'm gonna be eating a bunch. Man. And like, oh, I don't wanna deal with a fucking butt man. The times I've had to bust out a suit in the last year have not been pretty. I know. I know.

Yeah. It's like, I've made it work, but it's like, when you undo the button and hope the belt covers up the fact that your pants are unbuttoned and every trick in the book I use. Yeah, and like weddings are tricky for men and for women because it's like you want to look good for pics up top and everything, but then you want to eat a big fat dinner

and cake and everything, and then have the ability to dance and sweat and stuff. It's hard to dress. And then you got to light up the dance floor, yeah. Well, that's the other thing. Suits and stuff are just so uncomfortable for me. I don't know. If I can do anything, if I can wear,

like I was saying, a sweat pant basically and a sweater. Ooh, ooh. The stretchy waist or even the drawstring, like my linen pants are like, these are nice linen pants, but they got a drawstring. Yeah. You see a drawstring on like 80s sweatpants or something, but no, I can wear these to a wedding. That's nice.

If you ever get a nice casual, like I had at one point a really like light suit, like weight wise, like just like a light breathable, almost like suit that looked like it was formal, but felt like nothing. And I was like, this is the fucking best. So I lost the jacket. You know what I'm going to try this,

I lost the jacket. This fall, as we're getting into the, the sloppy boys touring season, I'm going to try, maybe not necessarily on tour. I'm going to go out one, maybe if I'm going out to drinks with friends or whatever, or maybe a date, put on a suit coat., maybe a date, put on a suit coat. No tie.

Michael, put on a suit coat. Don't do that around us though. Not around you guys. Mike, I can see it being like, you could be Tweed or corduroy professorial kind of guy in the fall. Tweed? That's what I'm saying.

Not like a suit suit coat. So you see your boy in a hound's tooth. Maybe, but I don't know. I don't know, it's gonna have to be just the right situation to wear that. Because sometimes I see people wearing a suit coat in the wrong situation. I said, oh boy, you're way too dressed up for this. It's hard, man.

You don't wanna, you know, you can't be the guy doing the suit and t-shirt, look like fucking Adrian Grenier up there. But then there is the modern version of the suit and the t-shirt, but the t-shirt's a little bit more solid color and choose a fun color, or white or something. Understated, yeah.

Yeah, or V-neck, that seems a little too hip. I don't think I can do the t-shirt under a blazer. Sure you could. Just gotta find the right shirt for you. I could, but I don't want to. What about turtleneck, huh? A little turtleneck? I wouldn't mind a turtleneck.

I put on a turtleneck. I did that, Mitch, Mike Mitchell and I did a NFL promo thing, a little sketch or whatever on Sunday football. They put me in a turtleneck and a sport coat. I said, this is a good look. I kept saying to Mitch all the time, Mitch, this is a good, this is a good look. I kept saying to Mitch the whole time, Mitch, this is good, this is good, not me. You know what I'm saying? You know, a couple winters ago when I was up in Montreal

and I did all those like spas and heavy restaurants and stuff like that, I was wearing a dickie. So it looked like I was wearing a turtleneck, but for a sweaty guy like me, I didn't actually have to have an inner layer. But you know, I mean all this French Canadian food and duck and stuff and it kind of looked like a chateau kind of a guy.

I got an ascot when I was on the cruise there with my family a couple months ago. And it was funny and I'm glad I did it, but I put it on right outside the shower. Like I was kind of rushing to dinner and I'd shower and get up so I was so hot and I put this thing on and it's just like covering up any vent.

You've tied it on really tight. But I like it. We had our fun and I was like halfway through dinner. I was like, I got to take this. That's a problem with like a summer shower or just a really hot shower. If you're into that, like me is the first time you dry off, you're drying off the water from the shower. And the second time you dry off, you're drying off like the sweat from the from all the heat. Yeah. Drying off is a constant thing. Like you get that area and then you're like, well, I'm

still hot from the shower. So now I'm sweating and I got to keep drying off. In the summertime, I got to, I take a shower and I stand in the AC and my towel for like a half hour. Smart. You used to air dry anyway though, if I remember. Yeah, I don't, I don't. Underpants, pants don't enter into it until a half hour after the event. I, that's the best. I learned that from our old roommate Eric Shiner.

He used to walk around in a towel for a solid hour after a shower. And he would tie it up high like Homer Simpson, like around the navel. Just be scooting around there watching South Park and laughing his ass off. Who was the guy on Kids in the Hall that was like, you could win a day with Dan Bonnellini or something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He had an Italian name. He was a writer on the show. He was a writer, but he showed up in a towel, right? Yeah, yeah. And it was just, yeah, it was like a sweepstakes where you could have him show up at your event or something. It was just like a guy with a mustache with a towel around his waist.

He had a funny name. It was like, yeah, it was like an Italian name. Like Eric and not even like a comedy one, but yeah, like Eric Bottolini or just. This is a good drink. I'm, I'm happy with this drink. Yeah, I love it. It makes me want to compare it to like your, oh, if I just had my little way, I would have this and a Mojito and a Pimm's cup all lined up and I would just take sips down the line.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mojito is pretty much this too, right? Yeah, minus the kuk. And what's Mojitoitos, are they tequila? I gotta say tequila. Paul Bellini. Paul Bellini, that's right. Ooh, Bellini, another drink.

Yeah. Yeah. We've done that already, Peach Bellini. Peach Bellini. Speaking of drinks and everything, did I tell you guys what happened to me? Mojito was rum, Tim. Take it away.

Yeah, we did that one in Neil and Fran's backyard, remember? Ooh, the Mojito. Yes. Contest winner, Neil Campbell, and we did pushups in the backyard. That was a Mojito night, I believe. Hey, wait a minute. I gotta tell you guys about this.

I was just looking at my August schedule. I think I'm gonna make myself a little trip out to LA. There we go. Oh! My come out for King Giz. Tim, I think it's gonna work out exactly. Yes. Ooh, nice. We were just talking about that. Yeah, come out for King Giz. Tim, I think it's going to work out exactly. Yes. Oh, nice.

We were just talking about that. Yeah, this is going to be good. King Giz at the Hollywood Bowl, right? Yeah. That's going to be great. Yep, I will be there. Rosenstock's going. This is going to be good.

Oh, he's going to the show. Yes, yes, good, good. Mm-hmm. Rosenstock in the crowd, us on stage sitting in with King Giz. This is going to be great. Rosenstock. Oh yeah, folks, we should say we are touring with King Giz. We're sitting in with him. They need more of the guys on stage. Man, I'm pumped for Pup and Rosenstock, that tour.

Oh yeah, that's going to be great. Yeah, the Pup-Rosenstock tour. That'll be fun. Wait, but getting back to the drink real quick, did I tell you guys what happened to me? No. No, no. So I knew we were doing the East side this week and I was like, oh, that's sort of like the South side.

I think it's got fresh botanicals in it. I'm going to go. Botanicals? What was that? You were taking a sip there, but were your glasses nudging the glass or something? No, I was trying to look at something in the screen while I was sipping, so I tipped my glasses up so I could see.

Well, you looked like a dork. Yep. Quite at home in the lab, I might say. This weekend, I went down to the Lowes Field's Farmers Market to get the botanicals for this drink. So I went up to one of these vendors, you know, they have a lot of beautiful California produce. Yeah. And I went up to this one farmer and I see.

You're not happy with that beautiful California produce. No, I'm happy with it. You've seen better. All right. He's just enraptured in the story. I'm sort of waiting for the other foot to drop. Like this seems all normal. So for this just seems like a nice day to him.

Well, that was the end of I got all this stuff came home and then I recorded. No, I go up to the one of the vendors and I was like, beautiful California produce here, such rich colors and vibrant smells, but the technicals and one of the botanical vendors. Yeah. and vibrant smells, botanicals. I want to make an east side, and the farmer's like, well, that's like a south side, right? And I was like, well, pretty much. So first the farmer helped me, was like,

oh, you're going to want some lime. I was like, great. Right. Oh, you're going to want some mint. And I was like, great. And I was like, okay, so we have all this, this would be enough for a South side. Did you have any other customers that were waiting

or did he spend this much time with you? Lime's down the block. Wow. Wrapped around the corner blocking traffic, kind of a big incident with the LAPD. But I was like, well, I've got the lime, I've got the mint, everything to make a South side, but I want to make an East side.

And I, so I needed all the ingredients for that. And he said, well, okay, so there is another ingredient but what is it? And I was like, I don't, I can't, I don't know what the extra, what should, because I want to put one more thing in here, I know I want to put something in here. And not just anything, the thing that's going to make a south side and east side.

Yeah, and then the guy was like, oh, I know what you should put. But he couldn't think of what. He put it that way. He said, I know what you should put. I know what you should put. That's just an interesting way of saying that. Yeah.

And I was like, what? And he was like, you know, what are those things? And you know, and then I was like, well, what color? And he was like, uh, I think they're like, they're like black or they're like. This guy doesn't know. Maybe they're blue. Maybe he's a farmer.

Maybe they're blue. Maybe they're chartreuse. Anyway, we were kind of just in the weeds and we were lost. And in that very moment. Those two kind of rhyme with a word that I'm thinking. This is still your story. I got a tap on my shoulder. I turn around.

It's fucking Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon? Yes, because he and Keira Sedgwick live in the neighborhood. I've seen them around at Hillhurst before and stuff like that. But I was like, Kevin Bacon. And I was like, stop fucking interrupting us. And he was like. from the Bacon Brothers Band. Yeah, and he was like, yeah,

and not somebody that knows me by proxy, the actual me. Fucking one degree here, bitch. You're looking at the first degree. Yeah, you're ice cold. He's not tired of people saying that to him. He's always the one bringing it up. One degree, bitch. Like, we don't like this game, Kevin.

He had this knowing smile and I was like, what should we put? And he told me this. I grabbed my phone and I hit record and here. And put is the word that everyone and all three of you were using. Yeah, that's what you say, I don't know. Okay.

I hit the voice note. music. Yeah, that's what you say. I don't know. Okay. Hit the voice note. Not gherkin, no shard. It's crunchy, it's hard. Ain't flour or nuts. Those are just what it's hard ain't flour or nuts those are just what it's not I got this feeling yeah it is green and not brown not brown

this shit's appealing it's long and it's ends are round. So you gotta get kukes. Put kukes. Pickles left unmade kukes. Green, oh green. Please admit they are green. It's black. Those hacks who report these are black or blue for char-chus Everybody let's put Q's You know what I realized it was Kenny Loggins not Not not making that's what I was gonna say as it started. I thought to myself Kevin Bacon must be he saw he was in that movie that that song kind of sounds like. But that's neither hither nor thither. I'm unfamiliar with any movies, not much of a movie guy.

Isn't he in Footloose or am I losing my mind? Oh yeah, unrelated, he's in Footloose. So he seemed to also have a lot of time on his hands because he was going through a lot of what wasn't in the drink or what wasn't a process of elimination. Right. Right. Right. But I like how you responded directly to the farmer who led you astray saying it was black or blue or chartreuse. Yeah. The farmer was way off. So lucky that blue and chartreuse have that sort of rhyme scheme with Cuke. Well, the Lord works in mysterious ways, Michael.

If you listened to last week's faith-based episode. Yes, I did. And I took it to heart. You got to put Cuke. Now, so that just happened to you when? The other day? That just happened. Earlier today, right?

Just now? Oh today, earlier today. Can you believe? I can't believe it. I like Kevin Bacon. I think he's, he was, he was, when he was on the comedy bang bang show, I wrote a bit on the couch gag that he had to do

and he did it very well. It was a line I had, I probably mentioned before, the line was talking, we were talking about the Ninja Turtle. He's like, he's like, oh man, I love those little robot lizards or something like that. And he did it. He did it. Well, he did. He did it really was good.

Good guy. Well, he's a good actor, Mike. That's right. And I always said to anyone who came on the show, hey, you take my material, you do it well, you got a friend for life. You do it poorly, I'm your biggest fucking enemy. Yikes. Yeah.

And then I was asked not to come to studio anymore when we shot. Mike's making the actors uncomfortable with his terms. His terms. I think, are we doing a round two on this guy? Yeah, what would you change? I don't know, I gotta say this recipe from Imbibe Magazine is utterly perfectly balanced.

Any sour would love to be this balanced, right? Mm-hmm, sure. Because they scaled back the, you know, we learned that two, one, one rule, but you roll, to taste, you roll the simple syrup back a little bit because no one wants their drink to be too sweet. Right, and it's nice and stiff.

Wait, I got to look back. How much was the simple syrup in this? Was that a full? 3 quarter ounce. 3 quarters with an ounce of lime. 3 quarter ounce. I'm going to pull that back a little bit. I'm going to do half.

Even more back? This guy wants it dry. I want to take the simple syrup back back a little bit. I'm gonna do half. Even more back? This guy wants it dry. I wanna take it, I wanna take the simple syrup back just a little bit. I mean, the only thing I could think of is like, trying this on the rocks, but I really thought it worked perfect like this. But maybe I'll do rocks just for to know.

This is really good. Oh, you know what I started doing? So I keep my cocktail glasses, more so my rocks glasses in this case. In the freezer, right? In my freezer and what I did the other day. I got that one Mike, I got that one. I knew I shouldn't have brought that up.

You're gonna be in your head. No, no, no, no, I did it, go ahead. You're gonna be in your head just to talk? That's human communication. Talk. Human communication, that could be album five stuff. Communication. It's human communication, baby.

Wait, what was the other thing we just said but we could be out right before we start recording, we said something for album five. I think we said it on this. Oh shit, what was it? No, we weren't recording it as the issue. Oh crap. Okay, that's okay.

I mean, we've got no shortage of ideas. We're three smart guys. We're inspired. We're not worried about it at all. So many ideas. But what I do, I'll take my little rocks glasses, I'll put like a centimeter of water in there. So they freeze the bottom.

You got a bottom ice cube already. Ice built in. Ice built in. Wow. It's kind of fun. I've never heard of this and that's actually smart. You know, not to say, I didn't mean to actually,

Zohar, it was. No, I took note of that. Amongst all your very smart ideas, I didn't mean to actually sort it. No, I took note of that. Amongst all your very smart ideas, this is one. Look, look, it's not the first, you're not the first one to have this idea. Add this one to the pile of Mike's many smart ideas. Yes.

That pile was around here somewhere. It was here. Built in cube, cubed glass. Guys, what if there was a whole glass made of ice? Oh I've seen that was shot glasses shot glasses made of ice That's epic. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've seen those you shoot it and then you eat the glass You throw it in the snow Yeah, because I took I saw the glass and I said all we're doing with the glass in the freezer is just making it cold

Why not just put an ice cube in there? Hmm. It's fun stuff. It's fun. It's kind of a wild ride with me in the kitchen. Well, you feel like a chef in there, right? When I'm cooking in the kitchen? That's right.

The number of food references you had in that booze news theme today, it's so funny that you, I think of myself as the foodie of the pod, but you had listed 200 little foods there. That's what I was thinking too, but I think we talk about food quite a bit. I would imagine that, what was his name, Hand?

Tom Hand. Hand. Hand, he's combing through the archives looking for every mention of food. I think he was picking like, kind of, because you, Tim, you'll talk about steaks and stuff and Jeff, you have wonderful meals as well. But like, I think the song didn't have all those in him,

like talking about our duclorage croquettes. For those following along on Instagram with my Ribi account for the year, I'm doing pretty good. I forget my last check. I'm going along on Instagram with my Riba account for the year. I'm doing pretty good. I forget my last check. I think I have maybe like 15 or 16. I think I'm just barely behind.

You want to get 30 a year? Not want to, just tracking whether or not I eat 30 in a year. Okay, there's not a goal attached to this. Just tracking. Right, this is just tracking for next year's, we're just gathering information. Just gathering information, but that means as of July 1st,

I would have hit 15 and I think I was maybe at 13. Because I remember you started a little behind, Tim. Do you remember that? Yeah, you did kind of not. Early on this year, I think you were a little behind. We were a little worried. But I think I will make up time in the late, doesn't it feel, I don't even know this,

but it feels like the late fall, early winter holiday time is when you're probably. That's more ribeye season. I'm going to find myself at some steak houses and stuff. Yeah, steaks, you don't go to a steak house in the summertime. It kind of, you could, but it feels strange. But I've been taking pictures of them and posting them. And I think, yeah, I think I'm at like 16.

You can't have steak on the beach and see a shark, but. Other than that. Yes, we'll see a shark. That's your most fervent summer wish. Subscribe to the Sloppy Boys Blowout, patreon.com slash the Sloppy Boys. It's $5 a month and you get four episodes. That's $1.25 an episode. That was your wish.

That was your wish two summers ago, I believe, Jeff, or was it last summer? Two? Oh, I hope it was just last. Can you believe it's been last two summers? School lunch was $1.25 when I was a kid in school? Yeah, me too. Chicken nuggets and a milk hot go day nasty talk.

Go cubes. All right, we make it around to a lot. Yeah, I'm making same recipe on the rocks. Yeah. OK, same here. Same recipe. I'm cutting the simple down. Great. OK, folks, we'll be right back with more Eastsides. I'm a yuppie, please don't fuck me Unless you wanna talk about money

Cause all those yuppies, yeah we like money We spend it in this hotty hoity hoity Whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa And we're back with round two of the East Side. East Sider? East Side. You know, Jeff, I had the same, when I was ordering it,

I did the same thing. I was like, I'll have an East Sider. East Side. It sounds like it should be East Sider. But cider. Ah. Ah. Well, that got the response I was hoping for, baby.

It works on the rocks, to be honest. Yeah, of course. I'll say this is absolutely perfect and divine. But I think that I drink so many drinks on the rocks that it was a little bit of a treat to have something in my home that was served up and perfectly balanced and what didn't get warm too fast or anything like that. So, I maybe like it on up just cause I can, but the rocks is like my go-to and this is wonderful.

Yeah, this, I, I like mine with a little less of the simple syrup. It's got a nice, it's just a nice sweetness in there. And wait. I went back to a half ounce rather than three quarters. Now Mike, I gotta call you out. You called out my friend Jeff, I gotta call you out. Hey, Kahlua. You said Kahlua is the name of the segment

when we call each other. Now it's time for the call out sponsored by Kahlua. Bajiba Kahlua. Hey, it's this week's Kahlua call out. Let's do that. Come on Kahlua, where are you? We know all the brands listen. What you just said is you like that

when you dial down the simple syrup and then your reviewer was it's got a nice sweetness. So you put less sweetness and you said, oh yeah, that's a nice sweetness. No, he means there's a nice low level of sweetness. Compared to the other ones, that's a nice sweetness. The other one was too sweet. Oh, it was a gaudy over the top sweetness.

It's a gaudy over the top, this is nice. This is classy and sophisticated, I guess. Yeah. But here's my other big problem is I still got a ton of these chunks of mint and stuff in here. Mike, your drink looks like the Dagobah system. Okay, now the Dagobah system is where Yoda lived and it's all swampy.

Yup. Yoda, God, remember him? Jeez. Yoda. Yoda. That furry little dude. Is Baby Yoda Yoda still in is that show even happening anymore Mandalorian What if what if and or brought in baby Yoda? And or doesn't need baby Yoda. It's a fucking thriller bringing baby and or he's cool Yeah, baby and or

Now you got me Alright final thoughts for me, the J-Man. Folks, there's a lot of drinks here on the pod. No, Tim, that's not what I was going to say. Damn, I pulled a Jeff. No, a lot of fruits here on the pod that get used fruits and vegetables. If you have company over, you're not going to impress them with a lime or a lemon anymore. They already know you listen to the sloppy boys podcast.

They want more. Yep. They've already come over four, five, six, seven, eight, nine times. You need to bust out something a little unusual. Now, I used to look at the cucumber and be like, no, thanks. What do they make like two different tricks with a cucumber? I was once like you, Jeff. I'm going to buy one cucumber and be like, no, thanks. What do they make like two different drinks with a cucumber? I was once like you, Jeff. I'm going to buy one cucumber for this one drink this one time. I love this drink so much and I'm so happy to have leftover cucumber.

I'm going to eat it all night. Yeah. Do you got any anything to dip it in there? Some Tadziki or something? Now, there's already cucumber Tadziki. That's overkill. You can dip it in whatever you want. Dip it in your fucking ace. I have lemon hummus at my house. Ranch. I have lemon hummus.

Some of that sweet baby Ray's buffalo barbecue. Dude, the other day I dipped celery sticks in crab dip. Crab dip? Crab dip. Were you making crab dip at home? No. Did you at least grow the celery? No. Did you know the crab's name?

Sebastian. Oh. Here's a little food hack. One time, I was going to make a tuna sandwich. I dressed up this tuna with horseradish, you know, chunks of celery, mustard, all the good stuff. I reach into my pantry, no bread. Oh, so what did I do?

Oh, took celery sticks and just ate it like a dip. Hey, there you go. You are adept, dude. Hey, now I heard someone once say that chip dip was sauce now. Chip dip was salsa now. Here's what I'll say too about this drink. Chip dip was salsa. Your final thoughts.

These are your official final thoughts, Mike. Don't take them lightly. I'm not taking them lightly. What I would like to say about this drink is that. Oh, mine's in order again and whatever. It's good. Mike, go ahead yeah it's this is delicious this is what I've been looking for this summer this is to me a stone

cold classic this is what I would think a mint julep tastes like remember we did the mint julep and I was like right and then mint julep is like whoa that's a lot of bourbon yeah it's like to the bourbon overtakes the minty. This minty is helping me out quite a bit. You don't really taste the gin much at all, even though there's two ounces. Gin is it, and that's because it's well balanced. It is very well balanced.

Ooh, Delgado, you've done it, my man. Tim, your thoughts? My thoughts are, I got an important message for the Slop Itz, I'm going to deliver it right to my camera here so that Mealyn can clip it out for a viral clip for the internet. Folks, this is a East Side.

This one's on the rocks, but you can make it straight up. And now the East Side is a great drink, right? South Side is a great drink. What I want slop heads to know is what you have to have in your arsenal is a gimlet, okay? Gin, simple syrup, lime. If you have that in your house and you make it all the time, swap the rum, have a daiquiri, you know, whatever.

But if you make that all the time, you add mint, you got a south side. You add mint and cucumber, you got an east side. Your friends think you're a genius. You barely fucking did anything all summer long. Your friends are fucking stupid. But you're kind of a cool kind're a genius. You barely fucking did anything all summer long. Your friends are fucking stupid. But you're kind of a cool kind of a guy. You're a cool guy, you're a cool gal.

Ditch the friends, hang with us. We're your new friends. You don't need friends, you have friends in your phone. Yeah, yeah. It's okay to cut your friends off, to isolate. This is to me is- You found an online community. This is an order again. And then I'm electing Gimlet is the Stone Cold Classic.

But what's funny because when we did Gimlet, I remember I made it with like roses. Well, that was great too. Anyway, the Gimlet is the Stone Cold Classic and the South Side and the East Side are its order again branches. We should as a, you know, three cocktail entrepreneurs, think of what the West Side and the North Side could be.

West Side. Do they exist? West Side could be like a West Side. Hip hop. Well, well, but it could be like West side, like thinking about the Western side of the country, LA where you guys are, and maybe we get a little.

Like Tahin or something. Yeah, like a taco stand type of vibe. French dip. But it's still got to start Gimlet-y, right? Yeah, right. Is that the idea? Yeah, a Gimlet plus one thing, or plus on top of the mint.

Or like, you know, if you maybe, could you switch out the spirit if everything else stays kind of the same, you know? Sure. Like how much leeway? See, I don't think we can switch the spirit out. I feel these North and South, let's- We're committed to the spirit. As far as I can tell.

Think how many daiquiris there are, right? So if you switch the rum in any daiquiri to gin, that makes it that type, like, how was that El Compadre the other day? They got a daiquiri menu as long as my fucking cock. Damn. They got a five inch menu, wow. You got a five inch cock?

Wow. Well, I love it. I love this drink. I'd shout it from the rooftops if they'd let me out there. That's for true. 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, folks, we can't say it until we're blue in the face.

Well guys, because we're a drinking show, I'm gonna end with a question from my pub quiz deck of cards. Love it. Okay. This one, this pub quiz stuff, this is the music round, says the pub quiz deck of cards. Love it. Okay. This one, this, this pub quiz stuff. This is the music round, says the pub quiz. The car.

That's awesome. Yeah, it's awesome. The Carter show was the 2013 tour name of which US singer? Aaron Carter. Lil Wayne. Nope. Beyonce. Oh, Jay Z. Beyonce. Beyonce! Yep. Yep. I bet Jay-Z did a song or two on that tour.

I was walking around the Glendale Galleria and there was a big billboard for a new documentary, an expose, The Carters. And I was like, oh shit, it's going down. They finally nailed Jay-Z to Diddy or something. And you with the brown hair. And it, or yeah, just all that stuff. Cause they're so secretive in Sphinx life. Sphinx like those Carters. Illuminati. But no, no, no, no. It was about the other Carters. Aaron Carter. Oh, right.

No. And who's the backstreet, guy. Nick think guy Nick Carter, Nick Carter and Aaron Carter. I don't care about those. Carter's snooze fast man. Did one of them pass away? Yeah, Aaron Carter died. Sad. Rest in peace. That does feel kind of like a well, we all know the Carters are the

Jay-Z like it feels like they might be slipping some. But like it's so bad to be. They might as well put on the billboard like the Carters not those ones. The other Carters. Not the ones you're thinking of. Tim you were saying you kept saying Lil Wayne his albums are like the Carter one two and three right? The Carter yeah he's up to five now. Is that what he names all his albums? Those are like the big bedrock albums. Those are like his is that his last name? Man I say Carter so much. It sounds like it sounds like not a word anymore Carter Carter Carter Yeah, it is did the did the last one I feel like the last one was poorly received right after a lot of wait waiting

Yeah, it did have Aporlor on it Aparor is raps when I was this was during the football season last year I was watching and It was like a game playoff game was coming up and they had they were in the studio and having like You know just the announcer guys talk about who they think is gonna win win. And they're like, and we're going to bring in Lil Wayne here to talk. He came in and his eyes were like, he looked like stoned as hell. He's like, okay, I think I want this.

I don't know what he was talking about. Seemed like he knew what he was talking about, but just so funny. Like, and now we're going to have Lil Wayne come out and talk to us for a while. Goodbye. Peace and love. Bye folks. All the world will raise you
