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.
Starting point is 00:00:46 And Tim Calpacus. What he's up? Oh, and we're the sloppy boys. And this is the first episode where I'm coming at you fully hung over a podcast first. Oh, Jeff. What happened to you? It's always a story with him. Who overserved you?
Starting point is 00:01:03 Mookie Play Clock did. Oh, he's, well, he's got a heavy hand, a heavy poor hand. Folks, this episode is coming out of you, unshowered and uncensored. Yeah, I feel disgusting as well. I'm a little unshoured myself. Well, we, you know, we had to do it a little early for me today because I'm going to a 9-inch Nails concert tonight. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:01:23 It's on me, yeah. Ooh, the Ninemen. Maybe they'll play that perfect rock. Ooh, maybe they'll play some absence song. I'll bring some absinthe with me. Everyone at concessions is probably going to be. Can I have a 24-ounce absinth? Do the sugar cube part, please.
Starting point is 00:01:39 It takes so long. Nobody's in the seats. Everybody's doing like a 10-minute sugar cube thing at the bar. Trent Resenter comes out, Well, where is everybody? Where is everybody? And why am I talking like this? I'm a mannequin.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Well, I'm from my home in Manchester. He's American, right? He's American, but maybe he's been to Manchester. That's absolutely a possibility. It's always possible that some of our rock and roll heroes went to Manchester. I got to, Trent, if you listen to the pot, I got to hand it to you. That's like, I really came around on him. In the 90s, I was like, not for me, Mr. Goth trying to be so cool.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Like, I didn't respect him. And then I had a college roommate who was really into him, and I opened up my heart just a little but I was still that I thought it was kind of like geek shit and then not I think maybe the the film scores legitimize them a little bit in my mind but like now I'm just like him and fincher like it's funny that that happened to like in parallel like fincher was like an edge lordy like fight club seven guy who who I love those movies but then like when he and Trent got together it was like ooh the prestige boys now I think I've talked about this uh the Facebook movie uh wait What's it called?
Starting point is 00:03:00 Disgrace book? No, no, social network. Booking around? I thought it was just the Facebook movie. Zuckerberg's Lemen? That was, to me, it's one of my favorite movies for some reason. But I think it has to do with the music. The music is like really, it's just, well, it's a good story well told.
Starting point is 00:03:16 And they're making a second one. Yes, yes. I'm excited about it. That's kind of cool to see a movie happening about something that's happening as it's going. Weird. It's Zuckerberg, but it's not fucking. Eisenberg? Eisenberg.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Zuckerberg is not Eisenberg. They should have done that. That would be because they age the same. They age the same as us. I think it's the guy, the method actor guy from the show y'all loved so much. Oh, David Bautista. No, no. They should throw Bautista in there.
Starting point is 00:03:50 What's the fucking HBO show with the rich family? Ah, yes. Succession. The succession. Secession. Secession. Jeremy Strong? Yeah, Strongy.
Starting point is 00:04:03 I think strong is Zuck? Strong. Well, Zuck is strong. I hope they touch on this on the movie. It's like the universal tale as old as time of nerd gets everything he wants and then just tries to turn into Jock. And like the current Zuckerberg with his chain outside of his t-shirt, his curly hair, his MMA. And then like he had put out. There was like an, you know, they moved a lot of the meta offices to Texas,
Starting point is 00:04:33 but then he also, like, people that work for meta got like an internal thing about, like the culture of the place changing, you know, like, these are topics we would like to touch on. Oh, yeah. Cold plunges, uh, beef. You know, like, he's like, I've decided to be a man. Cold plunges, cold play. And, uh, we've, uh, we've talked about that before with other people where it's just like, trace somebody like any nerd
Starting point is 00:05:02 if they have a chance to become hot they'll take it it's like also the money thing like once you have that amount of money it's like be whoever you want to be yeah why not be a muscle man who wears a chain and gets a lot of girls and eats beef and does cold punches have you guys seen the the pictures of the rock
Starting point is 00:05:19 has been on Ozempic or one of the no things he's well he's he's small now that's the big the things small rock pictures are going around the pebble the rock has lost all the muscle he's the pebble now he's the slate the piece of slate
Starting point is 00:05:32 the rock to me is a dumb guy and it's very funny to then see this year particularly there's always this thing at the con film festival
Starting point is 00:05:45 about the length of the ovations the 17 minute applause and it's just so stupid that they time them like I know there's tradition that we stand up and clap for a long time but the idea that that like his ovation is longer
Starting point is 00:05:58 than like Emma Stone's ovation or whatever is so stupid and to watch him taking it in like he's an intellectual or like yeah he's like tearing up yeah but you see it for the smashing machine for what movie was oh the smash Biaz-afti movie where he's like I will say I didn't recognize him in the
Starting point is 00:06:13 like first half of the trailer I was like who's this who's this unknown I'll watch the film and I'm excited for it it's just embarrassing to me how this playbook like we've done it and just when the biggest movie star in the world is like actually I decided I wanted to do an art,
Starting point is 00:06:28 a art, and that we're like reporting on it, like, wow, he did those art. He did the art. It's like, this is bad. Like, Safty, I like you, but this is my least favorite thing in the world you're doing. Find some other muscle
Starting point is 00:06:40 head bozo. But it's like, safety probably has to do that to get the movie made. You're saying Safty's crafty. Well, in this instance, you have to be. Okay, so in other instances, Safty's not as crafty. But this is safety must be crafty. Wait, is this Benny or Josh?
Starting point is 00:06:56 they were both at the screening, but I don't think they direct together anymore, right? They had a breakup, but... Were they both at the screening? Did you guys know that Benny, the reason that Cousin Greg plays two roles in the film Saturday night is because Benny Safty was supposed to play
Starting point is 00:07:13 Andy Kaufman, and he had the bail last minute, so they had Cousin Greg do two roles. Oh, wow. But Benny Safty is... I didn't like that film, nor do I like any film, so don't take it too hard, uh, director of that movie.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Who was that, uh, rightman rightman yeah Juno but the think of Benny Safty and think of Andy Kaufman
Starting point is 00:07:36 there's a child like wonder to the eyes there's a stubbly cheek he would look like he looks much like him that's good good casting the essence is there
Starting point is 00:07:45 and also Safty when I see him on when he came on Fallon when I was there and then other shows he kind of like when he was on Fallon he dressed up as like
Starting point is 00:07:55 paint himself all silver, like one of those guys in Times Square. And I didn't really comment it, I don't think. So it was kind of like an Andy Kaufmanish move just to do something out there. I love when a guest, you know, the grand tradition of Will Ferrell always going on
Starting point is 00:08:10 talk shows as doing a bit. When someone, Meg Stalter did it on Colbert kind of recently. Like I love it when a funny person is like, I'm going to be funny rather than just tell stories. Yeah, right. Oh yeah. She was on, what did she do? Did she wear like a big
Starting point is 00:08:25 costume or something? I'm thinking of something else. She was being herself, but she was glammed up in Hollywoody and acting like kind of like a how she'll be like sort of a pageanty princess. I believe, I only sell little clips. I also like when it backfires, like when Crispin Glover got kicked off a Letterman. Anybody being weird is nice.
Starting point is 00:08:43 And he was practicing his kicks too close to Dave's face. You know what I just found out? You know when Fallon, sorry, when Farrell went on Fallon dressed as Little Debbie? I don't remember that. Do you remember that at all? Yes. That was written by our friends, Arthur Meyer, and John Haskell. Nice.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Two fun men? Two fun men writing too funny of a bit. He looks good. He looks funny. Yeah, it's a really funny bit. I love funny bits. Well, I don't like The Rock either, Tim. But one thing I did kind of admire about the man was that until this movie,
Starting point is 00:09:20 he could have given a flying fuck about what people thought about his acting. Right. You know, he just wanted to do bigger and dumber and blockbusters. Uncut. He could not give a shit. Yeah, bigger, dumber, and uncut. And he finally collapsed. He finally led him.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Well, he was good and black at him. He was really good. He threw in the towel. He says, I got to show people, I can act. I don't have the box office numbers in front of me, but he probably had a flopper or something in there that made him feel like the chasing the box office was like, I saw him be like, you can't just chase box office. office, but I'm like, I'm sure that he had a heartbreaking disappointment while chasing box office that led him to that
Starting point is 00:09:59 because this is also the man that I saw give an interview 10 years ago about how he was open to the idea of being president of the United States and that he had taken meetings with both parties. Yeah, right. And it's like, okay, so you stand for nothing, you have no values.
Starting point is 00:10:16 You do not have any stance on the issues. But you are interested in being president. Right, right. Good. Interesting. I also wonder if he could sense Dave Bautista nipping at his heels because I don't like the wrestler to actor pipeline
Starting point is 00:10:32 particularly the wrestler to comedy actor pipeline oh Jeff you are well documented on that I think we know that Jeff does not like when John Sina is in his comedy movies well what about Tim he's even more he's a big even bigger Sina he has an update he likes him now Tim has an update I have to be
Starting point is 00:10:51 an honest person right I hate John Sina so much. I think he fucking sucks. I've always called him a fake-haired freak long before. We know you guys. Look, he's a very good wrestler. I saw him wrestle this weekend. That's why I'm defending him.
Starting point is 00:11:06 He's a very good wrestler. I'll tell you about his wrestling thing. My update is just hate the guy, fake-haired freak, all that. But he made me laugh recently. Somebody posted in their Instagram story a clip from the piece makers, James Gunn's series. Hate James Gunn, by the way. And I hate Tim coming at all of them.
Starting point is 00:11:29 And I hate funny dancing in movies. I hate funny dancing as a way for a celebrity to be funny. Yes. There was a funny dancing scene in the pace. I mean, I didn't know what I'm looking. I'm just scrolling through. And I saw, I heard a cool song and I saw John Cena doing a funny dance. And I went, ha, and I was like,
Starting point is 00:11:44 oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, no. You're like, ready to growl, but you're like, you're like, you're like, er. I choked on my growl. I watched a little bit of, oh, there was a wrestling event in Paris and our buddy, Jeff, sorry, Ben Axelrad watched it and I watch it with him. And Sina came on and he was telling me about how like... In Paris?
Starting point is 00:12:11 Yeah, I guess they do like a bunch of events. That's what's, I was having fun watching it because like I haven't touched into the WWE world in forever. It's like gigantic. But it's like Ben would be pointing. He's like, oh yeah, this guy. been like the biggest guy in wrestling for 10 years i was really i haven't heard him and he's like yeah they're probably they're trying to probably like pull him into movies now and i was like oh so this is just the the pipeline yeah and he was saying about uh sina is that he's really good on the
Starting point is 00:12:37 microphone which whatever yeah but you mean as like a commentator or no it's like when he's talking to as the wrestler talking to like the audience and stuff or he's like a good actor i guess yeah yeah yeah but to be like to of that level and like the rock like is just a showman and stuff yeah yeah yeah the audience loves them and you forget like oh the wdwe audience is humongous yeah so of course let put them into so but it's just like one of those things like oh my god I didn't realize people love wrestling this much or country music or NASCAR or just stuff that I find uh not even good or bad just so I don't really know it all it feels old it feels old yeah like when you realize oh not only is this still going on it's got like new fans and stuff
Starting point is 00:13:17 it's crazy and like huge it's like it's boom on ESPN at a certain point now or something. I don't know. It's a big, it's a big thing moving. It's a juggered out. Oh, but he was also saying that the, the, uh, common opinion is that John Cena isn't that great of a wrestler. He's just, like, his wrestling skill isn't that good, but he's just so like, the guy, everyone loves this guy. He's just so damn likable. Oh, he's, uh, he's also, I thought Tim, Tim, you were going to bring up that he's been outspoken about his hair transplant now. only now after i forced him to be held accountable yeah yeah he was a bosley man a bosley man what's that he's also a client bosley is like the hair pro hair it was it like bosley the hair
Starting point is 00:14:02 treatment for men it's like the bosley hair system yeah hair system it's it's the guy who's like not only he's like now i'm not only the owner on the client hair club oh that's about yeah the oh okay so the hair club for that's funny because also the uh um men warehouse you're going to like the way you look iconic tagline that guy now is does black tucks the app so they've both kind of gone onto their own solo things um oh have you guys seen turkish hair transplants this is a huge thing that's happening that yeah way cheaper i think for like three thousand dollars instead of 15 000 weren't they a seattle grunge band in the 90s stop that um men are flying to turkey getting a hair transplant sorry for him too please help me
Starting point is 00:14:49 It's cheaper, and it's good and it works, but it just looks so funny that these guys, they look like, is Zoidberg, the guy on SpongeBob, who has like a bulging head? Oh, Squidward. Squidward. Handsome Squidward. Zoidberg, though, is from. Zoidberg is Futurama. He's a crab guy. Well, these guys, they go to Turkey and they get a bunch of hairs plugged into their head.
Starting point is 00:15:12 And while they're healing, they have this like, red dots all over there. But yeah, and then their whole top of their head swells up. like kind of like a mushroom tip and then it went drip, drip, drip, drip. I've also heard that the scalp can reject it. Yeah. Oh, outright. Like sometimes it doesn't take
Starting point is 00:15:29 and you only have like three attempts. So people who do the hair transplants are like, I'm already two down. This third one's got to work. Damn. All right, now do we get to some booze news? Bip, bit, bit, bit, bit. Boos news, hit it. Hit it.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Jeff, you're the friend who, every time you're someone's trying to search for word, you try to help him out. You have the worst batting average. They were talking about, like... Clean of the ABE or something? No, no, no, they were talking about Marvel stuff. Singer and Macquarie made usual suspects together, writer and director.
Starting point is 00:16:02 As double directors? No, as writer and director. Uh-huh. Have you guys seen Star Wars? Not Star Wars Superman yet? Eat shit. No. I haven't either.
Starting point is 00:16:12 I gotta see it. Eat shit. Have you ever had a crispy cream? Was it crispy? Right, right. Right. Scandal was sent to us by Etai. And if you have a booze news team, email to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com.
Starting point is 00:16:28 That was all over the place. E. Ty. What's your premise? I was bracing myself thinking, wow, Ety. I bet he found 100 instances of Jeff doing the exact thing. Me too. We got a little hazy. I put my head in my hand when I thought that was going to be the case because I said, oh, I don't need this.
Starting point is 00:16:43 I don't need Jeff's ego busted anymore today. Mike, you call your friend out. It's been weeks. Jeff, have you altered your behavior? With Mike? In life, when someone is reaching for a word during a sentence, do you still offer them words and sometimes get the wrong words? Yeah, I still offer.
Starting point is 00:17:03 And you know what? It's in 100% batting average. Whoa. Congratulations. Now, batting averages tend to go up to 1,000 is the issue. Hmm, well. Percent. Yeah, per cent, but percent.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Okay. You know, I looked inside and I made the change. That's good. That's good. Oh, so you just decided to say the right word. I'm like, be correct. Be correct. Focus and listen. Uh, Jeff. Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me throw this at you. I feel like in the past, maybe the past year. And let me know if, if I'm, am I being, am I hard on you? No, you're, you're a bit of a hard on. I feel like I've been hard on you lately. And I think it's because I sent you that book about finances. Oh, I have it now. I have it. I saw at Jeff's place. I have the finance book.
Starting point is 00:17:49 But I feel, for a guy who's dad age and doesn't have a kid, I've pulled Jeff in as my son. Well, I just have six months younger than you, so it makes sense. It's true. And we used to live together. So I feel like, but it's like, I got to make sure Jeff's going good on his taxes. Jeff has expressed interest in investments. You didn't do that out of nowhere. I know, but even it just, yeah, I get my heart.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Yeah, but he's like taking me under his wing, like forcibly. I try to raise him right. You know what I think it is? I think you're not. doing it to me. I think it's the fortnight connection that you're out there in the trenches with the guy so you want him to be the best version of himself. This guy's got, because he's my squad mate.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Yeah. It doesn't matter if I'm fucking up. But if you're, if the guy you drop in with is fucking up. No, but here's the thing, Tim. You don't fuck up a fraction as much as Jeff does. And somebody needs to. No, I'm sorry, Jeff. Somebody needs to. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. The guy
Starting point is 00:18:43 is a lost cause. I don't know what it is. I got to make sure what Jeff does all right. I think it's because when you and I were living together, Jeff, and we maybe were doing a show, this could have been birthday boys era, but I met your mom and she was like, somewhat jokingly, it was like, hey, make sure Jeff's doing okay. I was like, I will.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Get the fuck. Did she say that? She would say that. Something like that. She's like, is Jeff doing okay? I'm like, he's doing great. I got it's so bizarrely concerned about things. This was ages ago, though.
Starting point is 00:19:16 I know, I know. But like, hey, I just saw her. And she was like, you know, she likes Kelsey and stuff. But she'll take me aside and be like, do you tell her you love her? Do you tell her she's pretty? I'm like, oh, mom, oh, yes. Oh, Jeff, don't forget to nag her. I go even farther.
Starting point is 00:19:32 You want to hear about that too? Ugh. All right. Hey, let's cleanse the palette here with a quick pub quiz. What do you say? Now? I got a pub quiz. Why now?
Starting point is 00:19:45 We're talking about nasty. The palette is tainted. We need to cleanse it. This is, you'll know this one and I, and folks, if you are a subscriber to the Big Money Hustlers, you'll know this one too. Which famous musician is
Starting point is 00:19:58 supposed to have said, we're more popular than Jesus now. John Lennon. John Lennon. That's right. Way to go. Speaking of John Lennon, Mike, why don't you tell our listeners about over at patreon.com slash the sloppy boys, you have a monthly show called Questions for Lennon
Starting point is 00:20:14 that people can subscribe to. This is true. Questions for Lennon? It's, I get bring a guest on. I played John Lennon, of course, the famous rock and roll historian. And a story in a sense of he's part of the history. Yeah, participates. Yeah. Me and a guest answer some email advice questions emailed in and we give some people advice. And these are some great get like in the last year. We've had like a Paul Rust. Oh yeah. Big guess. Recently a little mookie B. We've had Dan Lakata. We've had mookie. Oh yeah. Claire O'Kane. Nick Nanny. These are some of my favorite comedians out there.
Starting point is 00:20:49 The Mitch man. The Mitch man. Claudio O'Dorty. These are, this is fun stuff. But it, oh, it's all behind the paywall. It's behind the paywall. Sorry. Sorry, folks.
Starting point is 00:20:58 You're not going to listen to that. And you're also not going to listen to us talking about K-pop demon hunters. Sorry. Sorry. That was our one this week. So take that piggy and smash it open and give us the money. And if you don't do that, you can take your fucking head and smash that open.
Starting point is 00:21:15 No, I'm sorry, folks. The punishment for, not joining the patron. Shouldn't shouldn't be smashing your own. I think we need another pallet cleanser. I think we need another pub quiz man. Yeah, another pub quiz. Yeah, let's get another. That was way too far. I went way too far. Who co-produced
Starting point is 00:21:29 Amy Winehouse's 2006 rehab. It's 2006 hit rehab. Danger mouse? No, I know it. Mark Ronson. Fuck. Fuck. We are now, we are, the pallet is cleared. Let's go. Okay, the booze news is, uh, you always remember buzz, buzz balls.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Remember buzz balls? Buzz balls? Earlier this year, we did an episode in Texas about Merrily Kicks Invention, buzz balls. You'd folks do this little spherical drinks you love to drink. It's a mom and son collab.
Starting point is 00:21:57 And they've been having a few more since we've done that, a few more sort of promotional things. Yes, you talked about the pool and an above-ground pool. I brought in the basketball-shaped large buzz ball that was an NBA tie in with Lanzo ball. Now, the company,
Starting point is 00:22:15 it was family owned, but then it sold to the Sazirag company a couple years ago and merrily Kik got really rich off of that deal. But now, here's, I felt like I'd been seeing more buzz balls in coming across my feed or people mention them. And as
Starting point is 00:22:31 editor-in-chief of boozeus rolling across your desk, probably. Rolling across my faces, I'm sleeping. But I was, I'm like, I feel like buzz balls are kind of like just getting talked about beyond just their stunty internet. antics. So I gave it a Google search and hit the news tab
Starting point is 00:22:49 just to see, am I cuckoo about, are buzzballs like doing well right now? Listen to these three headlines. Very recent headlines. The Guardian. Buzzballs bankrupt. Greek man is wrong. The Guardian, not chic.
Starting point is 00:23:07 How did buzzballs become the undisputed drink of the summer? MSN. Inside the buzz balls, boom. Why Generation Z are obsessed. See, I would say is obsessed because generation is singular, even though it represents a lot of people. The tab, wait, why are BuzzBalls
Starting point is 00:23:22 basically Gen Z's official summer accessory? Guys, do you know what all three of these publications have in common? Ooh, are they owned by this? Are they owned by Buzzball? They're all being Buzzball. Is that thing? Buzzball media.
Starting point is 00:23:37 No, all of these publications are British. They're all from the UK. Young Brits have. gotten majorly into buzz balls. The Normans have found their buzzball. The Normans found the buzz balls. Because, you know, the other thing is we hear so much about, like, Gen Z ain't drinking. They just ain't drinking.
Starting point is 00:23:55 So it'd be crazy to me if like, but they are drinking buzz balls. They don't know what it is. So they're drinking buzzball. But it's an export. It's American export. Yeah, it's an American thing that's doing well abroad. And it is funny, you're right. So who's paying the tariffs?
Starting point is 00:24:09 I think Trump's paying him out of his pocket. Wow. We want this one to be so big. But last week when we talked about drinking going down, it was in America. It sounds like Gen Z is drinking more in the UK than in America. And basically, I read all these articles and the reason that they're offering buzz balls in the UK and especially amongst young Londoners, buzz balls have the reputation as being a pregame drink. And the fact that they are Instagramable.
Starting point is 00:24:41 the drink before the drink and the kind of ironic throwbacky winky novelty drink as something that you can take a picture for Instagram it's become a popular pregame so yeah when you're when you're in London load up on buzz balls folks
Starting point is 00:24:56 wow load up on the the thing you see in America all the time at gas stations you just won't be alone another thing I've heard from Londoners or maybe Aussies is that when they come to America they're very charmed by red solo cups because that's something they see in movies. I guess they don't have red solo cups in other countries. Yeah. I met an Australian
Starting point is 00:25:18 guy who showed me pictures, no, no, a Scottish guy who showed me pictures of an American themed house party he went to and they were playing beer pong and flip cup with red solo cups and they were like so pumped they had red solo cups. That's so funny. I wonder if they had to like buy them like online or something. Probably. Yeah. Yeah, probably had to buy them online. interesting to think about where maybe where maybe these people we don't know about something. Are you sure that's interesting to think about?
Starting point is 00:25:49 I don't know. Especially in the early years of this podcast, we're just still testing out what's interesting to people. Yeah, folks, get back to us on our socials about what's interesting to listen to. Yeah, what do you like to listen to?
Starting point is 00:26:01 Well, I'll tell you what people really like to listen to is the sloppy boys, bands, music when we play it live, when we go on tour, because we're going on a fall tour. where our band is playing a bunch of band shows. There's a handful of live cocktail podcasts in the mix. So check your local listings, folks. We're going to be playing Nashville, Chapel Hill, D.C., Philly, Newark, Boston, Portland, Maine, Hampton, Connecticut, Woodstock, New York, Amherst, Mass, Denver, Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Detroit, and Lansing.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Whoa, Tim. And hey, guys, I was thinking about this. Maybe it's just because I'm currently hung over. Splittingly so. Recency bias. When we go on the road, this is something that we encounter this a lot. We should try and figure out some tips and tricks and techniques for like maybe drinking those never too hungover guys or, you know, like, let's try and like figure out our hangover solution on the road.
Starting point is 00:27:05 And maybe make that an episode. Maybe make it an, and maybe put it behind the paywall. Hey. Yeah, yeah. I love that wall. I also wanted us. We love the wall. I've always wanted to do a blowout with the,
Starting point is 00:27:17 with the Anthony Bourdain hangover method, which was. Cessuan, Coca-Cola, spicy Cessuan food, a smoke-a-joint, ice-cold Coca-Cola, a couple of aspirin, something like that. A couple assholes. The guy's cool, ma'am. That's right. And they're making a movie about him so we could ride that wave to a podcast.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Who's playing them? uh the the boy from the holdovers ah boy i didn't see the holdovers people love that movie oh can i give you a hint slop heads write this down this christmas when you're sitting around with your shitty family you don't know what to do put on the holdovers is a cute christmas movie a sweet christmas movie but it's alexander pain so you get to enjoy it and then your family gets said well that was nice tim they say it to what if your name is it My family's not shitty. I love my family,
Starting point is 00:28:12 but I'm talking about to the listeners and their shitty families. But every family say, well, that was nice Tim? If your name is Tim, for example, you might be the guy
Starting point is 00:28:21 who recently I ordered some fish and chips on Grubhub from House of Pies, but the bag came and it said, Tim S, turkey dinner. So, for example, if you're Tim S. You sure wasn't Tim's turkey dinner?
Starting point is 00:28:39 Possessive? Okay, I'll get back to them and be like, that probably was my turkey dinner. That's a good thing you didn't look in the bag and it was locks on pumpernickel. Your order at Bagel Pub in Brooklyn? My mistake in order. Oh, I went back there the other day and look, I love Bagel Pub. This is not a slam against them. And it was very busy.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Yeah, you watch it, Mike. I know, because I'm going to go back there again and again. I was there today. I got a whole wheat, sesame bagel. fucking toasted with I wanted garden cream cheese
Starting point is 00:29:16 and a tomato right nothing wrong about that and a little lemon squeeze on there too I like that and for some reason this guy didn't hear garden he heard
Starting point is 00:29:25 blueberry so I got home with a fucking blueberry with a tomato on it and lemon I ate through it but I was like fuck and next time
Starting point is 00:29:35 I got to make sure the guy hears me sheesh I was already home so I was like I'm not fucking The lemon squeeze thing that you do, that's brilliant. But then also, I think that throws them for a loop.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I think it's not in the typical rep. I think a locks meagel sometimes we'll have a lemon slice in there. But when you're asking them for a squeeze, then it pushes a different fact out of their brain. So they start doing a blueberry. I ask, he's like, once lemon gets here, I can't think about it. Jesus. No, I thought we had it all figured out. And hey, folks, for those of you who want a lemon squeeze at home,
Starting point is 00:30:09 Don't forget the Dutton Pro Tip. You put lemon juice in a little spray bottle. Vaporize that shit for your avocado toast, et cetera. Ooh, yes. Avo toast. Is that it for booze news? Wrap it up, please. Geez, the segments are all over the place today.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I don't think so. Well, with that out of the way, we turn our attention to the drink of the day. This is the main event of the pod, folks, which you've all been waiting for. And that drink is the M and M you've had. Venom, Venom. No, I've had M&M's. That's sort of M&M, Tim. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Or this sort of M&M. Oh, geez. I'm Slim Shady. It's something real shady. From Fortnite. I've been going out of way. to not say like an ampersand like the candy. So I say M and M.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Not an ampersand. Not that you pronounce amper sand different, but I feel like I don't want to sound like the rapper. And then the candy people say M&Ms. M and M. What's your favorite of the M&Ms? Which one did they do away with? Or which one did they change her boots?
Starting point is 00:31:34 That one. I mean I meant just like the type. Like I like peanut MMs. Yeah, Tim was thinking the character. Tim's about story and character. That thing with the green M&M were like, we got to switch her shoes so they're not, so she's not as sexified.
Starting point is 00:31:49 You know, they put her in sneakers or whatever. And then I took my niece to the Eminem store in Manhattan. And the green Eminem hair had the pump suit. Nobody cared. Yeah, nobody cared. It wasn't a problem. It's just for Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson to yell about. Turquerelson.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Tucker Carlson. Turkey Carlson. I also like the peanut Eminem. is the best. I thought that I liked the peanut butter Eminem's the best, but I can't make it through a pack. Yeah, yeah, yeah, too much. You want that crunch. Are peanut MMMs sort of like a
Starting point is 00:32:19 dutton classic, much like Cheez-It's and goldfish crackers? No. They don't, not nearly. Somebody at our old birthday boy's house, I feel like, would have like a movie theater size yellow box of those sitting around. Since you brought up Cheez-It's, can I show you the thing I found? Yes. Did I tell
Starting point is 00:32:35 you yesterday, Tim? No. Oh, you guys are fucked. He found a I hope this is a big, a cheese at the side of the box. Well, Jeff's getting that. I was over at Jeff's the other day, and I asked for some cheesits, and he had them, and he brought him out, and me and Mookie were eating these cheesots, and we're noticing how the bake is uneven in a fun way. Like, some cheesots are well done.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Some are sort of rare. Yeah, like you get that one like burnt one that has a new flavor. Burnt flavor. Okay. So you know the folks at, what is it, Nabisco, Sunshine? Who makes these things? The National Biscuit Company? Let me guess.
Starting point is 00:33:07 I think it's Sunshine. I'm trying to think if I, if I can remember the box. I'm not seeing any brand on this thing. Cheez it. That's who makes it. It's its own thing. Just cheese it. You've seen cheese that's big, right?
Starting point is 00:33:19 Yep. Cheese it's big. Well, have you seen cheese it's extra big? Hold on those out, Jeff. Is it the size of your palm? See, this is the big reveal. I don't even know how big they are. Hopefully there's just one giant fucking cheese in it.
Starting point is 00:33:33 I hope it's the one that was inside the CrunchRap Supreme at Taco Bell briefly. I never got to see those and I'm so mad about it. I've seen him and I'll tell you all about it. There was a cheese-it and the Crug trap's a pre- Yeah, got in there by accident. What the fuck? Extra big.
Starting point is 00:33:50 These are just normal big. What the, oh, I thought this was going to be like... Maybe it's just, yeah. I wonder if there's no more big anymore. They're calling, they took big and now they're calling it extra big. They just changed the title.
Starting point is 00:34:02 That sucks. That's some tricky, that is some tricky tariff stuff right there. Mealing, cut that shit. Cut that. No, no, no. good. Keep that. I want, I want the listeners to hear us be human. He's talking about me, cut out me talking about the tariffs to Jevis. No. I think he's talking about, he's cutting out all my
Starting point is 00:34:20 lines. I'm mad about the snack. Um, it's a snack anger. Okay. He's angry. As a reminder, we're in the drink portion of the podcast. Right, right. Totally. Totally. Yes. Okay. So, uh, the Eminem. Um, have you guys had? No. No. I have had. I've had a couple times and I have specifically had this as something that bartenders have given me when I've like... You've had? Yeah, I've had a couple times but once like in Austin
Starting point is 00:34:49 after one of our shows we walked over to a bar with some bartenders and one of them ord one for me. I associate much like Frenette Bronco or like a like a you know a high life and bourbon shot and beer type thing. I think of this
Starting point is 00:35:05 as bartenders handshake type material. and I've lately seen it popping up on more menus. So I pitched it to you guys as a drink to cover and listen to the history of it on the Difference Guide. This is going to make a lot of sense. The diff. Short for Monte E. Mescal,
Starting point is 00:35:27 the M&M was created in 2015 by Marco Montefiorei of Amaro Montenegro and popularized by RIMs. by Robert Kruger at Employees Only in New York, USA. So popular is the 50-50 mix of Montenegro and Mescal served straight up as a shot among bartenders that the drink has gained the nickname Managers Meeting, Eminem. So employees only is the one in New York is in the movie, Hey, Bartender. It's like a bar that is for bar staff. And I've been to the one out here, and it's fantastic. But so this is funny.
Starting point is 00:36:12 It's one of these ones. It was invented by the Montenegro company, I guess. But then so you can kind of picture like a brand rep going around to an industry type of bar. And then I'm saying, you know, you're like M&Ms, don't you? Yeah, we kind of do. And especially in 2015, like the mescal saturation hadn't really happened yet. And bartenders were very into it. So it's like a non-fermetnet Amaro.
Starting point is 00:36:36 and then the bartender's favorite hip liquor of the day is very cool now tim where do where do you land on mescal i don't normally think of you as a mescal guy i do not think it deserves the reputation it has people are so excited to like something smoky it happens with scotch as well i'm fine with it i'll drink it but i like tequila way better yeah same and mike i know you're you prefer tequila yeah i i i kind of avoid mescal me too i sort of i had to go into the way back of the cupboard, get my little flashlight venture into the bottom of my liquor cabinet. And I got that old mescal we've had since the birth of this podcast. And I did go buy some Amaro Montenegro, which is a gorgeous green bottle with that brown, brown liquor inside.
Starting point is 00:37:23 I got one of those two. It's very 70s looking to me. The glass on difference kind of looks like the bottom of that Montenegro glass in a way that I thought maybe it was the serving glass. Yeah. Cut off. You know, some people you can like use that. cut kind of the glass and then he didn't break it? Yeah, it's like they sort of have the same curves as the funky bottle. I think that is what I'm looking at here. It's funny for a premium
Starting point is 00:37:46 spirit like this typically Jeff and I would like share it or one guy buys it and we pour the other guy some but today was sort of a tizzy. I was confused about when we're recording and stuff so last minute I had to run to cap and cork. Yeah. I bought the last one. I know. I went
Starting point is 00:38:02 to the guy. I was like, do you have Montenegro? And he had more in the back but he was like, sorry, I just sold the last one And it's just, it's so funny that. That's so funny. He just thinking like, there's a run. I didn't mention that it's the very same podcast. You're like, what was he? Was he kind of like a, a hungover surfer looking guy?
Starting point is 00:38:19 He said, we just sold the last bottle to a dork, I think is what he said. Oh. Damn. He said that. Fuck. He said that. Okay. So here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:38:30 even though that history mentioned doing it as a 50-50 shot we're not we're going to do this as a cocktail because of the difference guide and this is how I've been seeing more difference says
Starting point is 00:38:45 one and one-third ounce Amaro Montenegro one-third ounce del Magway de Classica mescal now just say equal parts I don't care about the one-and-one yeah selected
Starting point is 00:39:00 That's an odd. One in one third, though, you don't see too often to it. It seems like was probably written in milliliters and then Diffords was converting. Love Diffords for that. For that reason. Difford himself chimes in every once in a while,
Starting point is 00:39:13 but not on this one. Select and pre-chill an old-fashioned glass. Prepare garnish of orange or lime zest. Aw. Stir all ingredients with ice, strain into ice-filled glass, preferably over a, large cube or chunk of block ice garnish express orange or lime zest twist over the cocktail and
Starting point is 00:39:38 use as garnish allergens recipe contains the following allergens sulfur dioxide sulfites watch out oh are you allergies me i haven't seen that before yeah me neither uh that's a bummer because i only have lemons how would you guys feel like me using a lemon twist i wouldn't care one bit i'm is lime I didn't see this but orange seems sounds good that's kind of weird to stir on cubes and strain I feel like if I'm stirring on cubes I'm sipping those same exact cubes I know what are they trying to prove here yeah um I my I like Montenegro you guys ever just had straight Montenegro I never had so I got my own bottle tin I did see though this has like a licorishy taste to it you don't say that's what I'm saying like is this going to be another yet another
Starting point is 00:40:26 Oh, it smells great. Ooh, I like Jeff's reaction. It's not an niece fest. It is sort of like on first sip, you might think that the way you think that about Anyamara, but it's distinct. It smells like cleaning. It smells like simple green or something. It smells like a cleaning product.
Starting point is 00:40:43 I think it's much like Chinar or, you know, like it's got its own thing going on entirely, but fun. All right, cool. I'm psyched to do this. Okay, to get us out of this section, here's one more pub quiz. Yeah, cleanse the past. I'll out. Okay, great. Which song was the Beatles' first number one UK hit?
Starting point is 00:41:02 UK. I'm going to say, please, please me. Yeah, shit. Hold on. Wait. Well, if that's right, is he right? It's not. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:11 I want to hold your hand. It's one you don't really think of. It's, uh... She loves you. No. Eight days a week. Love me do. With and without you.
Starting point is 00:41:22 From blank to blank. With love for me to you. Bingo. my palate is cleansed me too let's go make them that me too all right folks we're gonna take a little break and when we come back first sips to thank them for the chips because they got me oh yeah they got me
Starting point is 00:42:03 that's the first that's the first one of these pub quizzes that like I was like I had no idea what this is I got a nice looking glass here folks oh yeah Jeff oh nice big cube
Starting point is 00:42:18 no I'm excited for this because I really ended up liking the equal parts cocktails the French connection and the Godfather. Those are still kind of go-toes for me. Those are really good those are ones I always kind of forget about and then my DeSorono bottle gets
Starting point is 00:42:36 like, you know, worked its way back up to the front somehow. I'm like, oh yes, yes, what was that drink we loved? Yes. Did you either of you sneak a sip of straight Montenegro? Yeah, it's, I like. Yeah. It's nice. It's not it's not Enisi the way I thought it was going to be.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Nope. Sweet. Gary Anisi. Okay. There we go. Chips. Ooh, smoky. To this one, I like to say cocktails. Oh, who. Smoky on the nose. Smoky on the nose.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Hey, okay. Okay. Okay. Hmm. Hmm. Well, it's, there's Ms. Callan here. That's for sure. Certainly is, Jefferson.
Starting point is 00:43:18 There certainly is. There sure is. That's for damn sure. And I wish there wasn't. Yeah. It's bringing a lot to the party. Equal parts is definitely tips in favor of the mescal. You know what's, so I went to my, I went to the, the wine and spit it store near me.
Starting point is 00:43:40 It's got, it's kind of a, you know, you got regular liquor stores and then one that's like, you can talk to the guy for a second and they would try to upsell you on everything, but they've got the stuff kind of that other places don't. Anyway, look at this thing. It's called Malbien. It's a type of mescal. this little bottle the labeling on it it's cool it looks like it's like just tape like uh like like sharpy on tape yeah like painters tape yeah yeah it's cool but uh i was looking at the the
Starting point is 00:44:07 mescals and they were all like over i think 30 bucks and i was like hey do you have any other mescal that aren't like so big or what's your cheapest one because we're doing it i do it for podcasts and like i don't like mess gal i just don't need a lot of it my house and he's like well you know it's it's we've got this one here uh with like little bottles like this one one's 20. And he's like, it's not that great. But, you know, it's, if you want to make a good drink, the more expensive, obviously, the better the quality. And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's true. That's true. Yeah, I'm just not a mescal fan. Yeah, but it's like a genre. I don't like it. Yeah. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, that's true. That's true. Okay, I'll take that cheap one.
Starting point is 00:44:42 He was like, yeah. So, oh, okay, like, throw a little. Yeah, that's true, sir. But I'm, uh, you know, I know the difference between top mescal's and bottom mescal's and they all suck. It's funny. So if the three of us are not big fans of this drink, I struggle to think of how to articulate that. Because, you know, on our wonderful show, The Sloppy Boys Blowout, Patreon.com slash Slop Boys. We talk about movies and albums a lot and stuff.
Starting point is 00:45:13 And I always say, like, I'm trying to not ever give my review of something just like based on my taste. Like, I don't like it. I do like it or whatever. But so in this case, when I try to articulate why. I kind of come up shorthanded because I'm just like it's smoky right. Now that
Starting point is 00:45:31 I feel like for the people that do like that they like smokiness, their tongue is different than mine. There's nothing inherently bad about those people yet why do I look down upon them and why do I think they're posers? I think I almost blame
Starting point is 00:45:47 IPA culture that hoppiness was something that bros who didn't necessarily have a great palate could jump on the bandwagon with And I feel like smoky with smokiness is another like easily quantifiable thing to teach a dumb guy that it's, this is good. And then the dumb guy walks around going, that is good. Is it also might be a thing too like smoky in liquid? All right.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Now I'm on to something magical. I smoke cigars and cigs. I think the, the fact that like there's a little bit of a hurdle to clear. Because I do think you're right that like, object. objectively, it's not as smooth. It's a little more challenging, and I just don't like it. Now, Furnett was also challenging to me, and that's another thing that some people roll their eyes at like, oh, another Furnet, bro.
Starting point is 00:46:38 But that I'm on board with. Yeah. The mescal bro thing, I'm like, you guys are sickos and pervert. But so, yeah, like taking any subjectiveness out of it, it is funny to be like, when you, when you get down to the, both of these drinks, you get over the, hump of it being challenging and then you're tasting it. It's such a funny thing it, but just a pallet. Like some people like
Starting point is 00:47:01 smokiness, some people like fernettiness. It's like the cilantro. Yeah. It's strange. And I do think like, I just talk shit, but like people who don't know way more and have a way better palette than me, we've got our our friend Noah that bartender in New York who
Starting point is 00:47:19 hooks us up. He like, you know, is really into Meskell, Jack Schramm, like all these guys who are way better than us. are into this stuff. So I know there's something there. And I keep going back to that one time we were at a mescalerie in Highland Park. And I was talking to the bartender. And she said, if you're not excited about smokiness, ask for a more nectary.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Ooh, mescal. And I love the word nectar, but I still can't say I've encountered. But when I'm drinking tequila, I can taste that aga. What does it mean sweeter? I think, I think, uh, in nectar. Okay. Yeah. But you know when you drink a blanco tequila, a good one, and you think about the cactus,
Starting point is 00:48:01 you can feel like you're tasting something from Fern Gully itself. Well, I can do that if I'm thinking of like sardines or something, but I don't know about... When you drink buzzball, a watermelon buzzball. When I drink buzzball and think anchovy, that's right? Yeah, yeah, anchovy, that's what it was. Many, many are saying this. It's surprising that how far buzz balls is just based on the, uh, the booze news today, how far buzz balls is traveling economically
Starting point is 00:48:26 with a thing that tastes like fish if you really think about it. Well, in the UK, they like tint fish. Oh, you might be on to something, Tim. That's bloody true. I've had tippers for breakfast every day. You know what I want this to be? I want this to be more like an old-fashioned here. So I want to have like a rounder
Starting point is 00:48:42 taste to it. I know, because it looks like it. It looks like it, and it smells like it with the orange. I wish you were an old fashion. I wanted to be a fucking Montenegro on the rock, so it would be delicious. Well, I'll say this. There's always round two, my boy. As the ice melts and I get a little on the tongue and in the belly, I do warm to it.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Ooh, how's this helping your hangover, Jeff? Not enough. Not yet. Take that cube and put it right up to your forehead. See, I won't let him just figure it out himself. I got to parent him through this. It's on me, though. That's on me.
Starting point is 00:49:16 He knows how to do it. He's the ripe old age of 35, wink, wink, wink years old. It's right. He's just six months younger than me. Help. Help me. Speaking of Jeff's hangover, this funny detail.
Starting point is 00:49:33 You emerged unscathed. I'm not a big drinker. What was last night's thing? What was the... Our friend Mookie had us over. So we were drinking, smoking, eating the food. Dragon stanking. Funny detail, this...
Starting point is 00:49:50 Mookie is a very hospitable host. It was wonderful, but let me tell you this. grilled wings Costco hot dogs foot longs he made these hot dogs and I was like oh those are good hot dogs
Starting point is 00:50:02 he's like thanks these are the Costco ones and then we're eating them and everyone's like these are good and he's like yeah they're Costco and then I was like are these all beef and he was like Costco
Starting point is 00:50:09 and then we were eating the wings the wings were perfectly seasoned grilled wing is a hard thing to make he cooked it perfect and I was like this is a great wing and he's like it was Costco it's so funny
Starting point is 00:50:17 it's like the idea that you're just beating people over the head with like it's cheap I didn't spend all. My dad would always do that. Like we did. Good value.
Starting point is 00:50:27 We would eat dinner my dad made. And he'd be like, you know what? That was a manager of special. 99 cents. And it's like, well, I already enjoyed it. I didn't treat you special at all. You're a cheap date, Tim. You're a cheap day.
Starting point is 00:50:43 In fact, I treated you like a chore. That's, oh, I had a couple hot dogs too recently, which I hadn't been having, Like all summer. And now, not on purpose. He just hadn't come across him. Ooh, a hot dog. So fun.
Starting point is 00:50:58 And then the next morning left over cold in the fridge. Oh, interesting. I'll take a hot dog and just eat it. Hot dog might be the most fun food. Well, pizza, but I mean a hot dog. Eh, pizza. Hot dog. Hot dog is a funny one.
Starting point is 00:51:15 It is. But I also love a nice street dog. Street dog. Man, I haven't caved in a while. Normally if I smell that. That bacon-wrapped L.A. street dog. If it hits the nose, I have to get it. But I've resisted the last few, like, concerts I've been to.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Sometimes I'm taking the Super 73 up to the Greek. And I just drive around that motherfucker. And you smell that street dog. Do you mean the Greek theater or to me? Take it up to the Greek. Take it up to that Greek. He's just circling around you, Tim, while you're walking down the street. And I'm eating a street dog.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Jeff, have you had any experiences going up there and saying, Ooh, this is a band I like. I'm going to stop by the Greek and or just listen for a little bit. I long for that day, Mike. It's always like, oh, the projectioneers are playing tonight. I had one. I was on a hike late afternoon, early evening. And I heard of a Huntrix was playing.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Go ahead. I heard a song I knew and I said, wait a second. This is Gaslight Anthem. I like that band. And then I realized Gaslight Anthem is sound checking. I stood there and listened to the whole sound check. That's cool. awesome i had a friend once who uh my brother's friend in high school was a huge cure fan
Starting point is 00:52:28 and cure came to uh town and he somehow like had the wherewithal to get there early like way early in the afternoon and he may have even gotten out of school for like it was like when they were in college uh seniors in high school he went to the sound check and said like he was delivering a pizza or something and like walked in and just sat like in the front row of the giant thing and just watched him sound check and nobody was like he wasn't bothering anyone And there was just too much people, too many people around to, like, be like, who are you? So he just sat there. And he, like, he wasn't creating a problem.
Starting point is 00:52:59 He was just enjoying his band. That's awesome. Yeah. One time writing for the MTV Movie Awards. Oh, 15 years ago. We did the sound check. And it's crazy just being like the then Gibson Amphitheater, rest in peace. And like, is it called something else now or just gone?
Starting point is 00:53:16 I think he's just gone. It's Hogwarts. Oh, it's Hogwarts. Oh, it's Hogwarts. But seeing like, oh, Ludacris is here. and, you know, like, even the biggest stars have to do sound check, like Katie Perry and Snoop Dog. And then Tom Cruise came out as his Tropic Thunder character. Oh, yeah, was that?
Starting point is 00:53:32 Yeah, yeah. He did like a live dance and stuff. In like the middle of the day, just being like, this is insane. There's like 12 people in this room. We're getting like a personal concert from Snoop Snoop Dog. It's funny on award shows when they're running the presenter stuff, either the morning of the show or the day before the show. That was one where a lot of big stars. don't show up. So if you're a star who does show up, you look, it's a little embarrassing to be like,
Starting point is 00:53:57 oh, the A-lister I'm paired up with has a stand-in. Oh, that's a funny thing about award shows that people don't know, that when you're doing a, all week, you're doing like run-throughs and stuff, there's this team of stand-ins that pretends to be celebrities. They sit in the seats. They walk up on stage and they give speeches that they've like done a little research on Wikipedia. So if they're playing a celebrity they'll say like fake Vanessa Hudgens goes up there and she'll ever since I was born in Chicago in 1993 I've dreamed of this
Starting point is 00:54:30 but it's always the same team of people so every award show I've ever worked on I noticed like the same handful of people on this team that's cool are they are they doing it like more out of like to give themselves something fun to do when they're up there or because there's no they could they could say watermelon watermelon watermelon but just

Starting point is 00:55:25 You get a whole extra show every week and you enjoy your life. A better show for being frank. Yeah. I don't know what I'm going to do here. I might switch out the mescal for tequila in my next one. I was going to try that too. Yeah, let's do that.
Starting point is 00:55:36 That just seems like the, I don't like mescal. I like tequila. And I'm not even going to do repisado. I'm going to go Blanco and be nice and easy on the tone. I'll say this too. Sometimes when we do like a round two and I still have my round one left, I'll pop it in the fridge for later.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Oh, that's nice. Not this week. Damn. This one's going in down the drain. This is going into the toilet. For me, it's down the hatch. Oh, look at them go, folks. All right, folks.

Starting point is 00:56:53 M and M. I went split base because I just simply didn't have enough tequila. Ooh. I did tequila and I did a little less tequila and a little more, you know, I didn't do so even. Oh, even this is league is better. Way better. Yeah. I did a little more Montenegro from being honest.
Starting point is 00:57:11 And then for the other part, like half Blanco tequila and half mescal, this is phenomenally better. So we are better mixologists than the, um, the bartenders at employees only in New York. Yeah. Better than Difford himself. Diffins. Hmm. Wow. This is way better.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Uh, uh, objectively. Objective. Objective, your honor. Objectively, your honor. Objectively, it's better at your honor. Okay. Well, what are your final thoughts? Weird to go into.
Starting point is 00:57:48 the final thoughts, having just made a better drink than the drink? I love it. This is an order again. Yeah. Yeah, this I like. The other one, I not so much. That's, it's funny, like, the amazing course correction just saved this drink's ass. This is a real, like, had us in the first half, not going to lie, drink.
Starting point is 00:58:07 But, like, what, how can we credit the drink? The pivot from one agave spirit to another gaver spirit. It's good mixology, good podcasting is what they saved is. Oh, we're good. We're good. at. Yes. Folks, it's an order again.
Starting point is 00:58:22 I like that it's equal parts because you know that means you can customize it, dial it up or down, suit your tastes, suit yourself. Dress it up, dress it down. I feel like I had a chance to express myself with this drink. Yeah. I love Montenegro and I love this altered, perfected M&M. The other, for me, God, how do I rate, if we're being objective critics and I'm rating in the M&M, and I'm not a big
Starting point is 00:58:49 mescal guy, but I don't want to have only my opinion tainted by my tongue. I still don't actually think it's a great drink. I don't know. I think that Montenegro is better on its own, so then that's not a good cocktail. I am glad to have this to bring
Starting point is 00:59:05 Montenegro into my life. Yeah. It's nice. Yeah. You're worth it in that regard. It's nice to have a new friend. A new friend in the liquor cabinet, man. Friend?
