We're having a blast on tour. And we wanted to share with you this amazing night. Neat. Oh. It was a neat night. A neat night. We wanted to share with you an amazing night. We had in Nashville drinking the Tennessee meal.

It was a goddamn blast, and we hope you enjoy listening to it, huh? Roll the tape. Enjoy! Oh, wow! Welcome to the sloppy boys, where we take a deep, into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton, along with my. Michael Hanford.

Howdy y'all? And Tim Calpaccus. What he is up? Oh, and where the sloppy boys hitting the road. Good to see you all in the fleshy flesh. In the flesh.

In the nasty sweat. How's everybody's hummus? Ugh. That's the best part. I love performing a city wine ring because we're doing a song and I look out and I see Hulp.

Hulp. This is actually really good. Shut up, dear. I'm trying to hear the sloppy boys. I'm trying to watch this wedding reception. Where? Are we? Honey, take a drink.

Your throat's going crazy. Speaking of it being a city winery, guess what I'm drinking right now? Uh-oh. Looks like I have a pint of beer, right? Yeah. A pint of wine. Hey. A pint of wine.

These days... Champagne, yeah. Just a nice big pint of champagne. Why not? A pint of wine. What are you celebrating? My favorite podcast. That's my favorite podcast, too.

You know what I liked about doing this show particularly so far? Looking out in the audience, we did a little opening number. The listening audience doesn't get privy to that. But you guys heard an awesome musical number. It's fun looking out in the audience and seeing who's a fan and who's the partner. Who was brought? Who is not smiling, confused, and making sure they know where exactly every exit is. I really look, folks, they're very close.

Leaning over and being like, you like this? Okay. Well, I love you. You listen to this every week? I will make space in my life for this type of shit. What's worse? You give them $5 a month? We could be using that for more hummus.

You don't even work. I work. They say. They say. You've been to Nashville before. I love national. Is this your first trip? I've been here, but Tim didn't go out the last time I was here, but last night I went out.

So you have the accent? Already I do. It takes you two times to get down here. already have the excellent. Folks, I understand no one talks like that down here, but it's fun for me to do, you understand. I don't, I'm not, I know no one here says, I, I know, I know, I know, I'm not, you're playing with, uh, troughs.

I, yeah, I do that from time to time. And doesn't it make satire so much more interesting? Just, it's just, you fix your chair, put your chair back. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you got a satirists. Tim, get back here. Oh, no, I'm doing it. Oh, no, I'm doing it. Oh, please.

Uh, yeah, satire is so fun to play. It's, for a comedian, it's, it's so, fun to play in satire. So, will you shut up? Yeah. I'm just waiting for someone who's doubt. You've, you've been here before for a stand-up gig, but you didn't get to party. Last night, me and we were all

supposed to be having a big fun night together, but our flight was delayed. So you kind of had a solo Nashville night. I had a solo night, and I call it Mr. Creeper. He goes out. Mr. creepy guy goes and sit at the end of every exciting bar goes, oh, what's happening here? I'll have

another bush, please. I don't get those very often. from no i went out and uh i had the uh the signature drink of the night which we'll get too later i don't want to talk about it uh the signature drink of this night of this night yes yes yes but i'll talk about that uh later because we don't want to dive into that yet but no i went down to broadway folks if you've ever been it's fun it's a lot of fun everybody from here says don't go to broadway go anywhere but broadway we want to go to broadway it'd be like in Vegas if you're like oh no go to the mall go to the shopping mall go to the outlet center it's We want to see the nastiness.

We want to get in the line dance. They line dance me right back home. I said, oh, I'm going back in, folks. That's the sound of line dancing all right. Look at these new kicks. God damn. Those are new, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You spend enough time on Nike.com's sale page. You find something like that. But I think those are custom laces. You swap those out. Yeah. Black laces. Wait, I want to talk more about Broadway. It was so exciting.

Yeah. Well, it's wild because I feel like every city has that place that is the crazy party town. Like the locals are like, don't bother. But then if you're a tourist, you do want to go there. But like, even in terms of those types of streets, Broadway is fucking crazy. It is the best one. It's a Saturday night on Broadway. That's, you don't have that elsewhere. No. And it's like, it's all just in one, not one block, but it's like containable. I could do the whole thing. I could only compare it to New Orleans, a place I've never been. Me neither. just the mind's eye of New Orleans I was like, it must be like New Orleans

Must be something like this It's got to be something like this Brinks at least, music Here's usually the only difference Jeff If you're in New Orleans You're here in like Zidico And kind of Cajun music When you're here in Nashville

You think you'd hear a country No, no no No You're walking by a bar and you go Open up your eager eyes And then you walk and then you go by the next bar Because I'm Mr. Bryce side last night multiple cover bands oh yeah at two bars i swear that exact timing happened where i heard

one band playing the killers and the next man and then and all the pedal pubs are are shut up and dance yes yes today all of them were well today they were like shut up don't wave to me because we were like hi they make it their own yeah they hated us well i came here last year exactly this time yeah it was like a week before Halloween and i was walking around and i knew Halloween i was saying Halloween would be fun here. Oh, yeah, I saw a Ghostbuster. Not a real one or just a... Screen accurate.

Uh-huh. Proton pack. Now, folks, a lot of people don't realize that takes a lot of time and effort to make a screen-accurate pectop pack. But I was walking around expecting there would be

country singer, songwriter, hopefuls peppering all these bars. And no, I remember messaging you guys and saying, we got to learn Stacy's mom, man. They love Stacy's mom down here. Here. I, I, so Mike was there early. We got in, like, out like 1 a.m. I'm already in bed by the time. This guy's sleeping.

And our flight was marked above average CO2. Really? What does that mean? You know, when you buy a flight, sometimes they make you feel guilty, and it's like, this one's above average CO2. The emissions of the actual jet? Mm-hmm. But here's the thing. Sorry, folks. Your airspace. I made up for it. I didn't exhale for the whole flight. Good.

great as Tim's just a big burrito in the in the uh lounge goes in this is a safe CO2 flight right that's methane that's okay oh that's fine that's encouraged that's encouraged sorry yeah so we're catching up oh oh but yeah we get here Mike's already had a whole night he's in bed we get here kind of late now still awake would just you guys decide to watch some freddie Kruger and go to bed but I but I I hear the call of the wild and I got to venture out um so I went I went at John Daly's. Yes. The golfer's bar.

And I walk in and the cover band was playing. No, no, no. Stacy's mom. And it was a great time to enter because they had like a lead singer who was good looking at a good voice, but this was clearly like they were letting the bass player sing one. And he was like, Stacy, can't you see you're just not the one for me.

I hope the guys like this. I hope they don't roll me off stage. See, Mike. You're lucky we let the bass players sing as often as we do. I know. I should, the way they were treating some of the bass players out there on Broadway last night. I said, oh, well, these are my brothers. These are my brothers and my sisters.

These are odd. The four stringers, we walked around like this. It would be a cool. Four fingers held high. A cause for you to unite as bass players. Base players are okay. Well, actually, I was in one place and they were getting into sort of a heavy metal groove, okay? And I kind of like that.

It was fun. But they were playing, oh, they were playing heavy metal. and they were playing Nirvana, you know, Smells Like Teen Spirit. And the thing that bummed me out about it, and I hope they're not in this room. They're not. Where would they hide?

But they didn't, they kind of went at the, like they acted it, like they kind of like play acted it, like, oh yeah, we're doing, you know, smells like Teen Spirit, okay. I was like, you gotta get into it. It made me feel low.

Because if you're not gonna, you're pretending to be something, we know we're not at. My culture's not a costume, okay? No, but it's like you've got to go for it if you want to go. I'm the 90s kid. If you would have pulled these 25-year-olds aside and be like, I was around for Grudge, man. Look at that, buddy.

You put the bass player in that band. He wanted to play Bulls on parade. And he went over to the drummer and went, Bulls, Bulls, Bulls did the Bulls horns right in the front. Bulls horns on the head. He sang Bulls and he did it for real. I was like, this guy gets it. Okay. the other guy who looked like

he looked like the second singer in Bare Naked Ladies Not the guy who stuck around Which one do you think Mike would think is the second second? Dude, there's the chubby one with glasses And then there's the Adam Carole Man, I didn't know, they had one singer. First one, first one.

They had two, if you can believe it. Which one did he look like? First one. The chubby guy with glasses. That's my favorite one. They did sound good, they just didn't really go for it. Oh, the other funny thing I saw too.

In that same venue, they were playing a Metallica song or something. A guy walks by in a Metallica shirt, you know, like a distressed one from Target, and you could tell he had no idea that the music was his shirt. There was no like, yeah, I was just like. And yeah, let's see. What else did I? I had, when I ventured out, I was trying to, I was like, I got a top hand for it. What kind of, uh, shit can I get into?

So first it was John Daly. and I had his can of his iced tea lemonade. A can. He has a canned beverage and that's what they serve at the bar. It's like his own white claw brand. Cool. But then I was like, Tim, you know what? I don't care.

It's like after two, but still, let's, you're going down the Broadway. You're going to get right into the shit. And it was fucking crazy. And then I, well, you went all the way down into Broadway. I went all the way into it, into it, man. It's a round floor. And I looked, I was like, wait, what am I done here before? Last time I was a Nashville, I had a good time what I do.

And I, you know, in the photos. Sounds like you did Nashville right, yes. You know, on the photos app, you can bring up the map and then you see, like, the pictures. I was like, I know I've did some fun shit here. So I zoom in to Tennessee and I zoom in to Nashville and there's one picture. And I zoom in, it was Reba McIntyre's dress. In 2015, I went to the country music. He's like, I got one picture.

Better make it good. It's never. I'm not a Ramah McIntyre fan. I didn't know, think. I don't know any fans, but the idea that that's the one time I reached in my pocket, it was like, oh, yeah.

This is good J.O. material for later. I'm going to want to see this in exactly 10 years. So then I'm walking around Broadway. All the guys look like Morgan Wallen. Yeah. All the girlfriends are wobbling and barfing all over the place. And the Morgan Wallens are kind of keeping their drunk girlfriend. And also, there's the crosswalks,

the cars don't slow down for a crosswalk. They're just bawling. Yeah, it was kind of nutty out there last night. I was kind of, whoa. The drivers, it's a whole different thing. They're like, it's my road too. So they're kind of fighting back. And it's a root and dut road at that.

Oh, no. You guys need Waymoes out here. You don't have Waymoes? They fucking suck. You don't need Waymoes. I finally saw one in New York, but it had a driver in it. The hell? Yeah.

It was like, obviously, it just wasn't waymoing, but he was driving it. Like, the guy was driving it. Oh, fuck. There's a wheel in a way, though? Yeah. Oh, yeah. It moves, too.

It's not just decoration. Anyway. God damn. I thought it was a dummy wheel. Okay, wait, so no, but I'm down on Broadway. And then I'm walking and I hear, I hear someone as I'm passing say, smash or pass. And it was one of these, like, YouTube guys, like interviewing girls, like, like, he had the little microphone. Yeah, yeah.

What's your body count? Yeah, exactly. So I heard that, and then I was like, oh, that's funny. This is where that type of thing happens. Like, this is where like Hawk to a girl probably? And then I was like, where was the Hawk toa girl incident? Where did that happen? I Google it.

I bring up a picture. I Google it. It says Nashville. It says Broadway, and I get excited. I bring up a picture. I'm standing in the very spot. The very, and I had, it's funny because this is, a weird joke from a drunk girl two years ago.

I had the feeling like if you... See, there are energies that linger. If they asked you something, you'd say something crazy? Yeah, but like, yeah, what do you people? You don't believe in the spiritual realm, but you were standing right in the middle of it. I looked down to the ground.

I was like, oh, my God, this earth that I stand upon is where our history is made. And it made me feel invincible. Who knows what funny shit I'll say in that. Some people have this feeling at like graveyards or like in the desert. You had it at Hocktuah.

Ground Zero. This is how far we've come, Jeff. That's what I'm saying. It's a terrible culture that Tim lives in. And then I started recording a video. I wanted to text you guys. So I was videoing myself and I was going, Haktua.

And then a guy who got behind me and he didn't know Haktua. So he was like, Hattara. And I was like, you should know your culture, boy. It's Haktua. This is your town. I wonder if, do you think that, you know, you were having that feeling of like,

oh, I've been here. I've seen this. Do you think it was just because you've seen the Haktua? But so many times? It just goes around, wheels around our brains all the time. You're like, yes, this is it. I spend most of my day walking around places being like, this has nothing to do with Huktuah.

And then finally, one checks out. I was at peace for once, and I was like, oh, that's fucking weird. What is this feeling? But I'm not joking. I like was a little starstruck by the ground. And you wish upon the ground. By the pole, the signature pole.

I remember you took a picture of it. Folks, you can see this. He took a perfect. But you got to get online. But you got to get online. Get those modems going, folks. Get those modems. You got to dial the mother face.

You're going to look at stuff later. By applause, who doesn't know who Hock Tua is? Really? You don't know Hock Tua girl. She's a meme girl. You got a Googler. You're going to love it. You have the best night of your life lying at him.

Well, let's put it this way. Do you know who Haley Welch is? Do you know the talk to a podcast? I love her. Do you have any Tua coin? Wait, so hold on. This guy's wallet fell out. I'm just going to grab it here.

I'm got his license. Oh, his address is under a rock. That makes a lot of sense. Michael. You got to get online. That's what I'm saying. It's all how you shop online. We're getting you online by the end of the next.

You online. Do you know the Sloppy Boys podcast? Are you here, do you? Oh, man. Are you just people who come to City Winery for shows and stuff? Yeah. Okay, we're going to make it great for you guys then. This is good because we're very knowledgeable cocktail experts.

Right. So you're going to learn a lot of knowledge, right, gangs? We're smart. We're funny. Yeah, right? You're going to love it. Sorry, I just want a couple together? Married?

We're going to get out of you. Mike, you know what I'm supposed to like, you know what's supposed to nice, You don't do that. You don't do that. Yeah, don't get married, folks. You missed the point, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the other thing.

We missed the point a lot. We also got some real culture. We went to a museum today. We sure did. Thank you. That sounds like the books. That sounds like the books we were opening and closing. Yeah, yeah.

The flapping of pages that reminds you of. Folks, we went to the Johnny Cash Museum. Thanks to our buddies, Blake, and Jordan. They own a shoalman. Bar. I don't know if he's been anything that he's been there. Hell yeah. You know it? Nice. Nice. Nice. And then had a burger.

Well, the burger was at Roberts and I had a I had a fried boulogne sand. Great place. We love that there. So I understand Roberts is one of the only two legit honky tonks that people actually respect and regard. Would that be a place you guys would actually like go to Broadway 4? Okay. Yeah, I get you. This guy's not going to Broadway for nothing.

Okay. If you go downtown, that's where you're going. I see, I see. What was your takeaway at the Johnny Cash Museum? Did you learn anything? I learned quite a bit. I saw his house. That was probably the coolest thing I saw. You didn't know Johnny Cash's height. No, I was like, oh, yeah, I'd love to go to a Johnny Cash concert.

Looking him down there doing his thing. What'd you learn? Stick to your guns. Yeah. Keep making music until you're an old guy. Make 1,500 songs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was successful young, but... Have a five-decade career.

But he didn't stop. That wasn't enough. 1,500 songs. Really? I didn't see that play. I thought it was... There was one little exhibit where they were showing the...

On a TV, they were showing the trailer for Walk the Line, the Woon-Feed Phoenix movie. And I'd never... Baby, baby, baby. I've heard you quote that a lot, but I'd never actually seen the film, so I was watching the trailer.

And it was so funny. So you just think I'm like, cool. Yeah. I was like, I like Jeff's style. The trailer to that movie, I don't know if you've seen it,

but it was like, it's like young Johnny and someone's like, you gotta have one song that sums you up. Boy, you need a song. And he's like, everyone's like, you need a song. And then he's like,

I fell into a burning ring of fire. And everyone's like, it's a ring of fire, ring of fire, ring of fire. And then the title comes up, walk the line. It's like, Definitely, they fought so hard to have the movie be called Ring of Fire.

There was an issue. They had already made the teaser trailer. Walk the line. Oh, here's one thing I really learned. I didn't learn anything by his height. He was on Quinn, the Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. He was on it? He was one of the people in the town.

I'll tell you what. He also did a Taco Bell commercial. You can see it. He did? He was like, I'm Johnny Cash. Worked out me. I went to the canteen. Go get a cheesy gorgeous.

a crunch and bring one back from me and Gene. Well, will we get in some booze news? Yeah. I don't know Nashville, should we? I said, I don't know, Nashville. Should we get into some bib-bib-bib-bib-b-b-bos news?

Oh, yeah. Bip-bib-bib-hit it. Tommy beep the boat with his thing-a-ling. Beautiful. Ranch. 11 out of 10. Tommy beeped the boat with his

ding-ling. beautiful ranch 11 out of 10 a penis injury but one day a year Hasselhoff just a funny thing to say a penis injury but one day a year Hasselhoff why just a funny thing to say to be a brothel. Tommy Beeped the boat was sent to us by Calvin and if you have a booze news

email to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com. That was nice. Tommy Lee. Before we get to, what? Tommy Lee. I know, I know. Before we get to the Boosh News.

I just want to ask the people who haven't ever seen this before. That doesn't make any sense. You would just happen? We do that on the pod. But these people all understand that, but you must be saying, I'm having a stroke. This is nuts. It's interesting to think about it.

I have all the contexts in the world. I didn't understand half that. I didn't either. I'm worried about these guys. But I at least know that a song will come on at certain points. Yes. Yes. The way that I think of it, all of this is just sort of background to the, there's the wine and the meze platter.

The hummus. If you want, if you glance over at the sloppy boys once in a while, oh, that's okay. And then you look back down at your beige bread going into. to your beige dip. You have a problem with that? A monochromatic meal? Too much beige. I've said it before.

I've had too many meals that have been rice, chicken, and like potato just white. White on there. Dasty. Rice, corn, chicken, and cheese.

RICO chitechia, baby. Oh, I feel bad. The people who don't know us, don't understand that. Look up, Ryko Chai Chi. They're having the night of their life. I know. I just weren't,

if everyone in the room isn't 100% happy the way I am, I'm here. But the honest truth is they're perfectly happy. You're miserable. Give me an hour.

We'll start to show an hour. You guys come back with me. I'll show you, though. This isn't real. Okay, so here's the booze news I wanted to get into. We are a party rock band. We also do this cocktail podcast, but we're on tour and we're playing rock clubs.

On the side. We do it on the side. The podcast. We're starting here. We're going all the way up to Portland, Maine, rocking our whole way up there. But we've been off the road for a few months, and now we're back on.

So I thought I would check in with an old booze news segment called the snore report. Whoa, this is very important for us. I haven't been vulnerable lately and opened up about my snore journey, but I had to revisit it because I'm in sharing hotel rooms

with my bandmates. So to those who don't know, I had a murderer's row of deviated septum enlarged tonsils, enlarged uvula, and sleep happening, huh? Hanksua. You got to remember that.

I got to write that down. I never will. He never will. He never was. So there was a time where touring with these guys, it was prohibitive, and I would have to sleep

in a different room. We called it the snore door. Yeah. Does this room have the snore door? Yeah. It could be two conjoined rooms or a suite with the door, but I need to have a snore door.

And just so that you guys are... And the hinges would be I thought the Babadook was in there. You guys are thinking, oh, I've heard snoring before. No, you haven't because I use this app called Snore Lab, and it rates your snore. Is that what Dr. Dre is talking about when he's going back to the lab with a pen in the pen? I always assume.

Right down when I snore. I'm this pet. Um, the, they score you, you, you can look and see your, how you snort you, it rates you out of, uh, 250, uh, and, uh, just to know where I was starting from. Odd number. I know. Yeah, this scale, this one goes to 250. Every other scale, 100. This one, it's like, twice at a half that. Bearing in like, Calvin, it's like, uh, freezing is 150. Here, I bet they want it to be over 100, so it's alarming so that you stay on the app.

Yeah, true. Yeah. Yeah. But so, so let's do a little retro rewind. Jeff, I brought a clip. Here's me, uh, January 10th, uh, 2023 at my peak, at the peak of my snore issue. At your lowest. At my lowest point, SnorLab recorded me performing the following sleep. Lowest as a, as a man. What do you say, folks? We want to hear a clip of this snoring. Come on. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. I was hoping. you don't want to do that

you don't want to be in a band with that no it's very sharp and it's got it's it's paint yeah it is painful to listen to because it it almost does you know when somebody's snoring and you hear it like that last little

it was like you that one was for me yeah yeah and that's where it's got a little a little treble a little it feels like Darth Vader it feels like I'm opening up my eyes and looking at it guys take that sweet dreams bitch he's talking and he's looking at

I think he's still awake he said sweet dreams bitch like he's Freddie Kruger well tell him we don't like that I missed last night you missed it you missed Freddie 4 how was it

awesome it was so good it's age beautifully I wish they could award I wish they could award it a post posthumous Oscar award it's fun when you watch Post-postomous. Post-postomis. Post-postomis. So anyway, that was 20-23.

Post-postomus. Went to Post Malone's bar last night, too. Postie. Posties. They love him out here. I got it enough for Posties. Seeing a lot of head shaking, no. We don't like him? Or he doesn't live here? Neither. We don't know anything about him. So you guys know the base level. Cut two last night. I'm sharing a hotel room with my band. I've got new tricks. I have snore spray for my nose. I have snore spray for my throat. I have a nose clip. I have a mouthpiece. And I take a pill called no snores with a Z. Wow. What is what does the mouthpiece do again? It pulls your jaw forward so that it doesn't. Yeah. Anyone else do you have snoring problems or have to wear the mask or anything? Do you wear the mask? Okay. Did you ever try the mask me? I tried it for a month and I

couldn't stick with it. He'd rather try five techniques at once. But I couldn't imagine putting that mask on with all the tubes and stuff and laying just on your back. I'm moving. Bringing that machine on tour is just admitting something that's too humiliating for me. Yeah. I've had a little briefcase.

I mean, we know. So you got a humiliating guy. All right. So you got spray, spray, clamp, pill. Mouthpiece. Mouthpiece. And a prayer. Let's hear the results. Let's hear the results. It doesn't have the attack at the end.

I don't take this person. 31 out of 250. Woo! All right, Timmy! Nicely done. Nicely done. We're going to get that number lower. I know you are, Tim, but nicely done.

It's soothing in a way. It's almost positive for your bandmates. It feels like you're sleeping next to like a comforting jungle cat. Yeah, yeah. Just rumbling the room for you. I told Jeff today, I was like, how'd you sleep? I slept so good. It was probably because you weren't snoring.

Well, I'm happy to hear that you guys slept good because there was a curveball. My snoring was not an issue, but I was on the fold-out couch. Right. And it was wrapped in plastic. I didn't notice that. Because the fold-out couch guys liked to pee on the mattress. Did you notice it? Yeah.

When I rolled around it all crissed. It sounded like a diaper or like a. Pool tarp. I kept pushing Jeff. I was like, just change him, change him. Like,

I put him down, you change him. Oh, right. Were you like, the diaper on his head? Were you like chuckling about it

at one point? Yeah. Because I didn't want to say anything but I thought I heard like, it was comically loud your like diaper mattress that you were curling up on.

It was, it was like it was made to be loud. Okay, well, when I looked at SnorLab this morning, there was a, like a part where it was like, it said loud,

snoring, like epic, loud, bad snoring. And then I listened and what it was playing, hearing was actually this. Jesus. Just rolling over right next to it. Snor lab's like, uh, check your bones this morning, sir. I think there was an earthquake last night. This is my bones snapping.

Your snoring was fine, but your bone non-snapping was very high. So I just want to let people know. If you use SnorLab, try not to sleep on a plastic bed because it'll skew the numbers. That 31 is probably not even a legit 31. I might be down at like nine. Wow. Well, let's give it up, folks. That's a hell of a lot.

Yeah, come on. Take a bow. He looked in the mirror, and he made the change. Yep. Is that it for booze news? Wrap it up. That's wrapped up. Sucinct.

Now today, what are we going to do today? What do I want to tell you guys about? I want to tell you about the drink of the day. Yes? I want to tell all y'all about it. Today we're doing a drink called the Tennessee Mule. You've had? Yeah.

I see a few. Oh, nice. Nice. Is that your second one or you're not saving it until we start? Okay. Oh, you're waiting. You're waiting for first sips? Look at you.

I'll meet this. I'll meet this. Boy, right there. shaking, sweating. I got you, I got you, I got you. Okay, the Tennessee Mule was made today. Let's drink it. No, the Tennessee Mule, this is a take on the Moscow Mule that we did ages ago.

If you want the history on that, you check that podcast. It was invented, Moscow Mule invented in 1941. Look it up. But we're doing the Tennessee Mule today. And I'm thinking to myself, okay, Mike, you're introducing the drink today. You got Nashville by the ears. Taking by the two fucking ears. tell him. And I said, what am I going to talk about? And I'm walking around with you guys.

You guys could probably tell today when we were eating those burgers and walking around Broadway. I was like wringing my hands and really nervous. Biting your nails. Don't talk to me. Don't talk to me. I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think. I kept saying, like piss streaming at the bottom of your hands. Yep, yep. Backside. I don't even want to get into. But we were over at the Johnny Cash Museum today. And I said, hold on a second. I got to find this app here. Okay. We're at the Johnny Cash Museum. I said, what am I do? And I look behind one of the cases with his suit, and I see a little piece of paper sticking out.

I said, oh, this is something the curator's missed. Pulled it out. They missed it? They missed it. I found it. It was a poem. I guess it was going to be lyrics to a song that never got made. It was a poem about, it was titled Tennessee Mule.

This is an amazing find. Johnny Cash. Yes. Didn't you hear, like, during the Cash, we were all walking around, didn't you hear from one room, all of a sudden you heard it. Yeah, who I did it. Yes. did hear that. That was me. I found this poem. And that's what I read that, because I read the whole poem and I looked at the title. I was Tennessee meal. I said, perfect. I did it. You, you were hoping that that was going to happen. If I just have a little luck today, I'll do it. All right. So here's, here, here's, here's luck today. I'll do it in his voice, too, actually. It says, under the title says, do it in my voice. So we're talking Johnny Cash's voice. Come here, June. All right. It's kind of Elvis, too, but we'll find it.

All right, so this is Johnny Cash. This is his, I'm going to call it a poem, but probably lyrics to the song. This old world's been spinning around. And one thing's always been true. Rocks become sand, man become dust, under southern skies of blue. That's his first one, here we go. But the times they are changing to borrow a Bob Dylan phrase, some people think we were born the same year, but no, I'm nine years older in age.

But anyway, the time. Times are changing. Some changes suck and some are cool. And this old country boy only lacks it when cool things are actually cool. Okay. Doesn't sound a lot like his style. Yeah, I like his other stuff.

I know. This is probably why this was probably why this was tucked under a case. Yeah. It's also, you'll see, it gets a little anachronistic as we move on. You'll hear. Okay.

So who knows what this is. The curators probably thought this doesn't, fit. They probably thought it was fake. He likes cool things. I like old guitars and Cadillac cars and hugging and kissing my wife, Junie. I'd rather watch an old Seinfeld show than see an MCU movie.

So he well, yeah, he likes kind of the old thing. Maybe he means like Iron Man One. Maybe I know. He might have been around for that one. Yeah. It was in pre-production. Yeah. That's what's so weird. See nowadays, folks like their cocktails. with a Russian twist. But if you give me any of that

vodka, I might make you meet my fists. So you keep your hashtag GPT, your luboos and hard iced teas. I'll be on Broadway. Hey, Bar Keep! Make Tennessee mules for me and my southern buddies. That's from Johnny Cash.

His old song, The Tennessee Mule, now... Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash. He wrote it down, and he's tucked it way back in that booth or underneath that suit thing. I need this again. I need to tell us about the drink. That was a little cool though. And I threw it down. So what do we think? That was kind of an interesting take. I buy it. I buy it. But it's weird. If you're the curator of the museum or you're part of the Johnny Cash estate, you find some of his worst lyrics ever. And then you want to keep it away from the world. And you choose to bring it to the Johnny Cash Museum, but kind of tuck it down away. I'll throw. I think I used it. I'll throw the away later after my shift. I found this at a fake Johnny Cash Museum, he said.

But hey, you know, so we're talking today about the Tennessee mule that Johnny Cash loved. And it's basically we're making a Moscow mule, but just switching out the vodka with whiskey. Here we go. Which I feel like, yeah, we know the Moscow mule is Los Angeles

1941. It made with cock and bowl, ginger beer. It was like a branded drink from the corporation then blew up. But then it feels like Tennessee Mule, I don't know that it's not like, like in Tennessee, is this something you guys drink and you say, this is the hometown drink? Anyone. Yeah, a lot of nods, a lot of big nods, a lot of huge nods out there.

I know it more as, I feel like when we were at a kitchy restaurant in L.A. called Clearman's Northwoods, they had a mule menu and they had 10 mules and the Tennessee Mule was on there. But I feel like it's always that it's like, it's always the thing you were expanding. The substitution of the liquor is the main thing. the Tennessee just happened to get tacked on. Which is so weird about his lyrics because he's talking about going back to the old, which would be the Moscow.

Well, he's weird. We've agreed. He's weird. Yeah, the way he, some of the songs are weird. But you're right. You write 15,000 songs. Like, some of them were going to be kind of shitey. So here's it.

15,000? 1500. 1500, yeah, 15,000. I think Dolly's got 5,000, though. Dolly. We only got like 30. Yeah. They're good, though.

They're good. They're good. You don't need 3,000 if you've got three good ones. Or 30 good ones. Okay. We're going to make it here with Nelson's Greenbrier, Tennessee whiskey. This is made right here in town, folks. It's in a different type of thing.

But yeah, we're going to drink that. So let's get the freshest whiskey you got. Run it over from the distiller. So what we're going to do, two ounces of whiskey, half ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed. And we're going to put it in those. copper mugs. Copper mugs there with ice.

Then we're going to top it up with ginger beer and add a lime wheel to garnish. Wow. It's utterly delicious. It's going to be a nice, easy one. It's going to go down easy, I think, which is going to be a problem for me. Yeah, it's going to be a problem for me, too.

We have a lot of people waiting on first sips, or at least one in the front row. First drink of his life, he's waiting. He's got like a pile of empty cans underneath. He's like, just for this one. So why do we take a quick little break? Tiny break. And then when we come back.

Yes. Tennessee mule first sips. Woo-hoo! What do you say, folks? Let's say, folks, pop, bo, sappy, bo, sappy, bo, sappy,

bo, sappy, bo, sappy, bo, sappy, bo, sappy, bo, sappy, and we're having on the beer. Let me make

a perfect thing, fucking slam. And we're back. building this drink live on stage. We're building live. I'm going to put this down. You guys do a little chichet. Oh, yeah. Well, what do you think, Jeff? Uh-huh.

Makes Tennessee whiskey, Tennessee whiskey. As opposed to bourbon and Ryan's Scotch. Tim, it's simply made here. I'll tell you what. I actually looked up with Jack. You know, Jack Daniels on a label. It doesn't.

say bourbon. I know Jack. Sam. Stop. But Jack Daniels does, like, adhere to all the rules to qualify to be bourbon, but they choose to not write the word bourbon on the label because they're more proud that they're from Tennessee than that they're bourbon. Oh, so you knew.

You were setting me up. You knew the whole time? I know that that's the case with bourbon, but I don't know what makes Tennessee whiskey. Tennessee. I know the word mash is involved and I ain't talking about the TV show huh

filmed here filmed here folks they did mash here with the chop the helicopter coming in the whole crew came out

from L.A. to shoot the studio stuff here Mike you're being very discerning with the measurements love to see that this is one of those ones where like we know what

this is come on we're in Tennessee baby see I want to try this one and then I want to try this one and then I want to try try the front row guys and make sure that we made it right. Hang on, hang on. I'm in there.

You get a squeeze a lime, don't you? Give a little, yeah, I did, I did limes and everybody. Oh, you did? I'm going to do an extra line. Just because I do like one. I'm going to get my little free up here. Okay, city, winery, Nashville. Who's got one?

Here we go. First, first sips. Saloo. Down the hatch. Saloo. Ah. Yes. Yes.

Nice. Good. Limey. Mash. You're getting mad? I like, oh, too much mash! You put too much mash in this. Notes of mash.

That's good. That's good. Yeah, that's wonderful. I mean, because I feel like the thing is the Moscow mule, the vodka just stays out of the way. Did you have an era? I feel like before we were cocktail guys, I feel like you were ordering Moscow mules out at bars. Am I making that up? Yes, and I really enjoyed each and every one of them.

You don't remember them at all. They were drunk the whole time. They weren't kind of having a moment. They were, when we first moved to L.A. was like, oh, mojito, mojito. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was kind of thing. You like mojitos, I remember. Well, yeah, I like anything, they drink on entourage.

I'll take the turtle fizz. I think there wasn't really a big one until maybe the Moscow mule. I feel like somebody at our old house, maybe Chris had the mug. I feel like there was a mug. Yeah, we had a mug like this. And it seems so fancy to us that I never used it.

I was like, oh, my God, There's a copper mug here. The one thing is the audience doesn't have copper mugs, though. They just have regular glass. Oh, that sucks. Sucks. Get your own talk show. It's a podcast, you fucking idiot.

Dude, watch it here. They come back. They do have all their own talk shows. Last laugh goes to them, dude. Yeah. And good, because we want them to laugh. That's what this whole show is about. To grade the audience and make them cheer for you.

Um, this is really good. Uh, I don't taste the whiskey at all. I put some, this was liberal pouring too. We got Gosslings ginger beer, which is a nice beefy one. Isn't there something with goslings that's dark and stormy can only be made with dot goslings? Gosslings will go after a restaurant that makes a dark and stormy without goslings. Yeah. Isn't that fucked?

And that's why you like pay attention to cocktail menus. Lots of times they've put their own little spin on it. And if you see one, there's a hotline you can call it, rat them out. They listed on the menu right there. Ratt us. Gazzlings. But that's why, you know, you look at a menu, you see stormy and dark, dark and one other factor. Yeah, yeah.

Dim and drizzly. Extreme drizzle. Not bright and inclement. Okay. That one's good because you can order that easily. I'm right in glove. And it makes your mouth water when you hear it. Ooh, I'm parched.

Well, I have a gosseling story. Ryan? You're spoiling it. Tim? Now, I'm not telling it. Tell it. He'll tell later than I. We'll tell you guys.

We had a UCB show at UCB Franklin in L.A. When we were kids, essentially. Comedy Theater in Los Angeles. I'm going to call it we were 28, let's say. Sure. Mike, you and I. wheeled up to the theater with a bunch of dumb props. Yep.

Because we used to have, in order to do a comedy show, you'd have to make a bunch of big dumb props. Well, we used to do shows. We used to kind of embarrass ourselves, but now we're doing... Now we're cool. We're cool. Yeah, we didn't come up.

So we pull up, throw on the flashers, and I got an arm full of dumb props. And then Mike says, oh, hey dude. And he starts talking to some dude. So dude, I know. Who was your old... High school friend.

High school friend. I thought he was like a college roommate. High school friend. He was in a, yeah. Went to college with you, though? For a year in Toronto, but I'm trans-prud. See, I just, yeah, high-school-friend. This is good. This is good.

Yeah, okay. Okay, actually, this is good. This is like a Roshaman situation. You did go to college together, but he's your high school friend. You hated him in college. I just thought, to keep this story going quickly, I didn't need to go, well, actually, it's, but now we've gone way long. Y'all have been in that situation where it's like your partner or your friend,

and then, like, they run into their friend, and then the person, that's with them. You're both like the third party. Oh, yeah. And you have to be like, yeah, so what's up? Like, yeah. How long you don't him? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I look up and I see like the most stunningly handsome, blonde guy. And it's Ryan Gosling, his friends with your old friend. Yeah, they're in a band they're in a band called Dead Man's Bones. But it was funny just to, uh, it took me a second to realize like, that's Ryan Gossling. And I just gave him the sort of like, the like dumb, flat smile where he was like

he probably at that moment was like I'm a fucking movie star this is the last time I stand off to the side talk to a friend's friend that fuck that shit I'm gonna win an Oscar it's the reason why you become a movie stuff so you don't have to stand off the side like to avoid awkwardness

that is really funny though to be like and I'm talking to oh hey what's what the fuck the believer himself who I made when I used to do uh when I I was like, when they offer you, Ken, man, you got to take it. When they offer you, Ken, you got to take it. He's like, no, I couldn't do that. Street fighter?

No, Barbie. Barbie. For Barbenheimer. Oh. God, you movie stars really are dumb. Show what they say, you dummies. Hit him in the head. I made a delivery to him when I would use to deliver scripts for James L. Brooks

when I worked for the Simpsons. And I remember one detail. He used to write for The Simpsons. You know, you tell it. It's your story. Well, just that I, now I respect Brian Gosling. I actually think he's very funny for a non-comedian. Me too.

But at the time, I had a little chip on the shoulder, like, oh, this cool guy. Oh, there's another handsome guy in town. Oh, oh, crazy stupid love. There's another handsome guy in Hollywood. And I don't know about me yet. Hey, this town's not big enough for the both of us. He's like, yeah, it's big for me. So I went up to his house with a chip on my shoulder.

And then I was like, this guy thinks he's so cool. And then I go up and he's like, house up on Mohan Drive pretty cool and a pool is pretty cool and then motorcycle parts all taken apart he's a he's a motorcycle guy builds and I was like that's pretty cool you got his building it in the

living room taking apart motorcycle yeah these movie stars are they have those parts shipped in it he's got a designer just lays them out it's ridiculous you get the kit yeah I'm a motorcycle guy kit yeah he's pretty cool Ryan come on the pod sometime

defend yourself We think you're cool. Tell us you're not. If you want to. While you were telling that story, I spill, I don't think you can see, I spilled right on my crotch, right where you would think a penis would be. Thank you. It's just right where you think I'd peeed my pants.

But I'm sure you, folks, I only was clumsy with my drink. I didn't pee. This is good, man. As it gets melted. I always thought the copper mug was kind of lame, but it keeps it really good. ice cold. It's good. Okay, I'm doing the swap.

Ooh. What's your name, buddy? Grant. Grant has one made from the experts at City Winery. Well, Jeff, before you take a sip of that, maybe we get an SDI check real quick. I don't know Grant.

You don't know Grant. This is pretty good. Oh, no, better than ours. Grant was stirring that with his cock. Grant thinks... Grant thinks yours is better, maybe, Mike. I don't know if I agree, Grant. I don't know if I agree, Grant.

Grant. Stop joking around about Grant. Grant's is quite limey. Ooh, too limey. No, no. No, no. Limey is good. You like Lime.

Yes, yes. I got to say for round two, for me, more lime. Much more lime. You know what we should do? Sort of a builder error. Hmm. In round one. A builder, not a shower?

Yes. We're talking about our genitals too much. I think. And, Grant's. Yeah. Sorry, Grant. He didn't come here to have his the way he calls it

is magic stick talked about as much that was you you got you went by a different name Grant is a pervert we have learned we got one right there Nashville PD pick him up

okay well I wanted I wanted to run something by you guys I have a little project that I've been working on not project 25 that I do not sign up that's my little thing when I go out to the garage at night

tinkering on to 20, 25. Flip on the old Springsteen out, see the grease on my face. It's coming along good, boys. Yeah, they sell those grease kits any fucking, it's coming along good. You'll never have to vote again. Well, I got really excited coming here to Nashville because it's Music City, you know?

Yeah. And we're musicians. You love that stuff. Exactly. I love the sound. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It doesn't smell so good, but the sound. It smells like nothing. But I was really excited to come here because I was like,

this is where you can become a songwriter and you could break big. You can be on Nashville. You could be on the country charts, you know, if you make a name for yourself here. Oh, yeah. Yeah, here. So I was thinking about, I actually do listen to a good amount of like pop country type stuff.

And I listen to the radio. And these days, there's a lot of, I noticed the trend because you know I'm very perceptive. Yeah, I can tell. Yeah, yeah. You can tell when I'm bullshit and he gets me right away. I noticed that there's this trend in country music of songs about drinking to forget.

You know, you're going through a bad breakup. You're having some whiskey. There's not enough whiskey. You know, like, I heard my sorrows type of thing. When Morgan Wallen had to do it.

He had some hail. Our Uber driver today, me and Mike have mustaches and we were wearing hats. And our Uber driver was like, all the white boys have much. asses and hats like Morgan Wall and Jesus Christ. And you guys are in the back like, yeah.

I think this is our stop. Sorry, sir. So I was studying Nashville radio and I was like, oh yeah, all these songs about drinking and a changing your mind state, you know, drink what having some type of liquid that you would drink. Yeah.

Be it as whiskey tequila, you know, and then not knowing or, you know, changing what you thought about your relationship. I guess is what they do. Okay. So here's the thing. I took a stab this morning. You guess that's what you?

You say you listen to the music, quite a little. I listen to the music. You're not that perceptive. That's what you guessed. I changed my mind. I know. Gotcha.

So I noticed this trend, drinking to forget. And then I was like, okay, what could I do? I'm in the hotel room. I'm kind of tinkering away. Maybe I write a song. Maybe I could set it while I'm in town.

The ass caps building right next door. So, you know, register a song. So I was like, I got to come up with a drink and I got to and I was working on. I don't know. Did you guys hear this or it was out the crinkle? No, no.

My bed was too loud. Just the crinkle. What's him singing over there? Well, when you guys were out, I laid down a track. Oh, wow. I listened to it back in. I don't think I did a good job. Oh, no.

I'm sure it's great. Maybe next time we can hear. I think I fucked up. I think it's a dud and I think I fucked it all out. He needed help. But Tim, you got to be like Johnny Cash, they're not all going to be bangers. You got to write 1,500 songs.

You heard, we just listen to a nod to get your original fire. Okay, well, then maybe, uh, this could be it. I'll, I'll perform it for you guys and you guys could give me some feedback. Okay. That would be great. It's a song. Let's do it. It's a song about drinking something and what might happen when you do.

So, Nashville, do you want to hear it? I do. I don't know. I'm kind of a bashful guy. Bashville and Nashville. title of episode. Write that down. Write that down.

Who's been writing all this stuff? I don't even remember what the other thing was. I know. No, it was a hunk shua. It was a sleeping. Okay, so this is a song.

I fucked it up. Why are you running away? No, no, I'm getting wrapped up because I have staged. Stay in front of me. I can't see.

I get nervous when he's behind it. You know, there's all these songs about like drinking to forget and stuff. I tried to write a song today. I don't know if I did a great job. But I'll hit it. I've been drinking a lot of water, and I only remember you better.

I've been drinking a lot of H2O, and I just remembered your mom's maiden name. A lot of water, lot of water, lot of water, lot of drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking, baby. Come on and come drink with me. I think these songs are in like parts, you know. I've been drinking magic mind. Yes, the Pete Holmes endorsement magic mind. I've grown my brain to a wonderful size. And now I remember our anniversary for once.

Lot of water, lot of water, lot of water, lot of... Drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking, a lot of water. Drink a lot of water. water drinking baby baby come on and come drink with me the tambourine hits why did i take that limitless pill i never should have taken that limitless pill you all remember the brad cooper film where he unlocked the full potential of his mind now i'm doing all that stuff too i got all good at numbers and math i made all kinds of money. Me and Robert De Niro bought me a beautiful house on the fucking beach.

A lot of water, a lot of water, a lot of water, a lot of water, a lot of water, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, drinking, drinking, drink a lot of water. Maybe. Oh, and one other thing, my memory got so good that I actually remembered why I dumped your bitch. Oh. Wow. Wow. Wow. Thank you. He was in, he took the Limitless pill that guy. That song was called Laada Wada. Yeah, that's good. Lada Wada. Lada Wada. You know, in Limitless, he became president, didn't he? POTUS? POTUS. And you know. He wrote, he started off. He was like, I got to work on my sci-fi novel. That was why he took it.

Oh, that's why the kid. Yeah. He was writing like his own little Dune, couldn't finish it, took a pill. Was that an M. Night Shyamalan movie? No. He wishes. And then he got good at numbers, beat the stock market, and was like, I should be president. I think is how the movie ended. I should be president.

I applauded. He ran and lost. Rigged. Rigged heels, he said. Oh, the restraint for them to not put that in the trailer, which I watched this morning. They didn't show any. You show, yeah, my God. That's why I'm so critical of while these trailers.

Tim, that was a feat. Do you think that what is keeping anyone from being president is smartness? No. Not to comment on the current administration. Uh-oh. It's political. It's a political country. Oh, Jeff's eating another lime.

Boop, bo, bo, boo. A situation in this country got me eating full limes. Well, what do we think about round two? We make another one? Yeah, I'll make another one. I think we do make another one. For sure. I don't know what we can do differently because we don't have a last.

It's a perfect drink. I don't know. Yeah, it's pretty good. Do you have any tweaks? More lime just for me, that's all. I'll have some more lime as well. Yeah, we couldn't use. We're almost out of ice if we could get a little more.

No, we're fine. We're fine. We're good. If ice made its way up here, we wouldn't. All right, folks. Melt it. Are you? Are you?

ready for round two. Oh, yeah. We'll be right back with more, The Sloppy Boy. Woo! Woo! Whoa, how are you doing, folks? All right, Nashville.

We're back with round two. Round two, let's do it up. Let's see here. I'm going to make, I'm just going to splash that. I'm just going to start squeezing, man. Splash her here. I'm just squeezing, man. Yeah, round two is always a little nastier, messier.

They want it to be nasty, messy. Yeah, it's supposed to be an improvement, but it's nasty, man. Yeah. bottoms up and a to you and to you and to your family ah yes you like yeah I like this quite a bit

I already know my ruling shit yep that's how good he is sometimes folks he tastes something and knows if he's going to drink it again or not oh sure in my

short 63 years I've really learned what I like and don't like you've learned the taste that you like yep it took me a while

I'm gonna be I'm turning my birthday's November 3rd huh 64 it's gonna be my Beatles year when I get older when I get older

would love to see the Beatles on my birthday all right enough bullshit no that's my new character the the drinking guy who wishes

Dead Rockers would play. The guy who's dumb. The guy's dumb. The guy's who drinks and that's why he's dumb. I wish Hendricks would come to my bowling night. All right. Enough funny business. On this show, we

we fiercely and shrewdly adjudicate each drink. And now it's time for the Tennessee mule to enter the octagon. Will it make its way out of the octagon? You know, hit me a little bit, the drink.

No, no kidding. Mike, why don't you kick us off with your final thoughts? This, to me, is an order again. Thank you. To a room of people said, like, we would ever drink these. Folks, it's an order again, of course. And I may even say that it's climbed

its way up on top of Stone Cold Classic Mountain. God bless you, drink. We love you. God bless the drink. Drink that we drink. Tim? Beat that, dude. I'll say this, that it's funny to appraise it as a drink because to me, it tastes like a drink that always existed and always shot.

It's funny that it ever even had to come to be. What could be better than whiskey and ginger? I mean, whiskey ginger is a drink. Yeah. So Tennessee Millsills used. ginger beer instead of ginger ale guess but yeah i mean it's funny that that ever even had to happen and it's very funny that this even grew out of the moscow mule i'm happy to let us do having this copper mug because i do think the moscow mule came out of like a corporate deal

with a mug maker yeah was that and and polaroid like some company just got a polaroid picture that the guy who was selling those mugs worked with or something he took pictures of bartenders holding shoes smirnoff and those mugs and we take a picture and then take it to the next smart and be like, see what they're doing over there? And they'd be like, we do that too. You take pictures and like, that was just like marketing. Oh, wow. These days, that picture would be on Instagram.

I know. Folks, I don't know if you, he's right. I don't know. He crossed his eyes. He said it like it's a dumb thing to say, but he was right. But he looks dumb, but it is smart. Actually, that's not a smart thing to say now would be on Instagram. It's correct.

It's not smart. No, yeah, you're right. So it is, it's my ginger. funny because ginger in a way like when i think of ginger i kind of think of like uh like sushi or you know like uh pallet cleanser sure spice you bite it between the the neguaries you don't put it on top no no no but um so i don't i don't think there's there's no ginger growing around in tennessee is there they've ginger yes oh got ginger here morgan wallin says yes oh yeah you got a nice wallin look do you like uh have you ever like come across actual real ginger out there in the in the

Wild? No, but there's Ginger Beer producers from Tennessee. Oh, what's right? You know, Brent. Tennessee ginger beer. Tennessee ginger beer.

Hey, unrelated, we should have a wallin off. Oh, yeah. From all you guys in the crowd, come on up here. Who can out wall and wall and walling? It's a tie with everybody. And me and Mike.

You'll never believe the guy who I'll out wallin' wallin, what's jelly roll? I think he had his own bar to us. He does. I'll say that. Yeah, he does. When I drink a ginger beer on its own,

I almost think it's like missing the twang that whiskey is bringing to it now. So it's like this is, this, before there was creation, there should have been this drink. I give it an order again, stone cold classes. Whoa! Which is interesting because it's not really like when you're listing like the top 20 cocktails,

people don't say Tennessee meal, but it's better than the Moscow. You can't even like find stuff about it online. It's like, this is a Moscow mule. And sometimes people make it with, Yeah, it should no longer be an asterisk on the Moscow Mule listing. It should be on the A.B. It should be its own page.

It should be recognized. I feel like the Norman Rockwell painting of the guy who's like, oh, stand. You know that painting. Yeah, yeah, I don't you. He's a meme now. He looks like a young Abraham Lincoln, but he's not. Yeah, and he's just sort of like.

Yeah. I'm a Lincoln ass. He's brave. Norman Rockwell. paints the best memes. Yeah. He was quite a meme artist for his day. Well, hey, can I say my fucking shit?

Sure, good. I'll say, this drink is an order again. It's a stone cold classic. And sometimes you got to make some shit before you stumble into something good, don't you think? That's right. That's... You sent us a meme of Paul McCartney diddling around on a piano being like,

no, this is just some bullshit. Plop, blah, pl, pl, yeah, yeah. Jeffrey Roberts made some tea and he Melvin Bragg and he's like now Melvin Rigby

that's a song that was funny Are you saying that the Moscow mule is scrambled eggs And the Tennessee mule is yesterday That's what I'm saying Wow That's what I'm saying

Here on the pod Scramble eggs Oh my darling how I love your legs Those were the temp lyrics I understand that Stick with me You can learn a lot You told me that

50 fucking times. The Beatles are performing your birthday, dude. Oh, I love it. I'd love to see him up there. She loves you. She loves Mike. Yeah.

So, uh, they got to change the lyrics. Everybody on a scale from 1 to 10, say the number that you think the Tennessee mule is... Yeah. You heard it here, folks. It's mixed.

I think in general, we like it, though, right? Yeah. It's mixed. The answer is blob of noise. All right, well, that's enough of the Tennessee Mule. Are you guys ready for the... Nashville quiz? Oh!

No! Yes, those of you who don't know the show at all, it's still going. This is sort of one for the road. It's the quiz, the Nashville quiz, here on the pod. And it's between my two co-host, Mike and Tim. It's nice that these quizzes, this one lined up nicely for us in Nashville. Yeah. Because we have them all figured out for the year.

It just happened. Serendipity, my friend. Oh, Denver. Are you ready for the Nashville quiz? It doesn't work over there. They're going to, it doesn't work as well. They don't get it. Oh, we're up in the mountains.

Shut the fuck up. You guys don't know jelly roll? Question number one. Starting. During the Civil War, Nashville was the first city to temporarily legalize and license this. Whiskey. Cars. Legalize and license?

What is light? What would you license, Tim? Um, firearms. I have firearms. Good. During the Civil War. Yeah. Legalize, uh, Civil War one.

Uh, Oh, dear. The analog civil war. He legalized a high-speed internet. Alcohol? No. Cigrants? No.

Quartering soldiers. What? Quartering soldiers. I'm going to say it one more time. During the Civil War, Nashville was the first city in the nation to temporarily legalize and license this. anyone know? They know. Tobacco. They're from here.

Tobacco. Especially the freaks. Marijuana. Ooh. Prostitution slash Brackles. That's right. During the Civil War, the occupying union military leadership set up a licensing and examination system to reduce out of control

venereal disease among union troops. You hear that, Grant. Wait. You should have never told us your name, Grant. Mike, let me tell you why I didn't get it. You know, he said, it's kind of weird and Civil War, and there's a guy named Grant. That's exciting. That's fucking interesting.

The other thing is, he said war, and I was sorry he wasn't thinking about love. Ah. Ah, yes. Very interesting. Question two here on the quiz. No points awarded for question one. I've got a story for you later, Tim. The 33-story skyscraper

on 33-33 Commerce Street in downtown Nashville resembles this crime fighter. Batman. You guys don't start supposed to answer. You're tossed. You're tossed. You're tossed. You're tossed, but I knew it anyway. Michael. Yes. Largest in the state. The AT&T building built in 1993 looks like Batman.

But built in when? 93. Quite Gotham-looking in architectural terms, isn't it, folks? And yet we know Gothism went out of fashion in the 1700s in Europe. Oh, what were you going to say, too? just that I've never seen this building I haven't seen this building I'm assuming

has two things that look like ears but I wish it wasn't that no it's got a guy who looks like this yeah and there's a building across the street

that's going and in between there's a helicopter looks like a bad ring that flies in between you didn't see that I saw there was a I was way on the other side

down there's a building that was like why he's so serious that's stupid I'm sorry about that normally the show is a lot better question number three here on the pod well she's not a carry

she's not a Charlotte she's not even a Samantha but at least she has a honky tonk on Broadway oh shit Charlotte Cynthia no Cynthia Nixon

no he said carry Yeah. He said Charlotte. Nobody say anything out there. I know you'll want to. But sex in the city. Wait, wait.

And they have a bar, Dolly Parton? No, wait. But there's a fourth lady and he only said three ladies. I know, but didn't you just say what it was? Say their names. Well, she's not a Carrie.

She's not a Charlotte. She's not even a Samantha. But at least she has a honky talk on Broadway. Oh, that's not fair. This is a good question. This is a well-written question. Miranda! Yes?

Moreau! You get half a point for that, but who is the Miranda who owns a honky talk on Broadway? Cynthia Nixon. Miranda? Miranda Lambert. I was there almost.

Tim gets half a point. Oh, I get it. I get it. We saw it today. We saw it today, but I didn't want to point it out. I would have helped us on the quiz if you pointed out. Yeah, I know.

Question number four here on the pod. This sounds like just a quiz of things you saw today. We did not see. Back off. These are the two legit honky talks, even left on the strip. Roberts. Roberts is one. Does anyone have the other one?

Posties. No one does. It's just Roberts, I think. Arnold's. Adults. This is what was told to me. Are we all in agreement of what the other one is? is it called Tutsi's Orchid Lounge

is the other one here. I heard Roberts and Tutsis are like the two legit ones. When you said Tutsi, I thought you said two boots, the pizza place. I'm like, that's legit.

No. Wait, so who said Roberts? Be honest. Me. Mike, you get a point for that. Thank you. Thank you very much.

You don't have to clap for each question. You can? You guys realize, for six dollars, you get a fried baloney sandwich. A bag of chips, a moon pie,

and a can of PBR for $6. That's smallest moon pie you ever seen, but whatever. You don't know me. You don't know my experience. You don't know what I've seen. You don't know the moon pie sizes I've seen. Nope, I don't, but I just know the moon pies I've seen would make that moon pie shit its pants. Question number five here in the pot.

I'm looking for the occupation. The occupation. Job. Singer-songwriter. The song, Jolene, is inspired by a black. who flirted with Dolly's husband, Carl Dean. Hairstylist? No.

Oh, bank teller. Bank teller. That was a guess. Wow. I didn't know that. That was a guess. That's sometimes you've got a guess, folks. Dolly and Carl were married for 58 years.

He passed away this March. He was crushed by a titty. Question. number six here on the pod. So it goes. Dolly Parton is godmother to this famous pop star. What was that? Mayor Cyrus. I could bring your heart's dead. Miley Cyrus. Miley Cyrus, yes. It's heating up here on the pod. Prince's hot chicken shack sure kicked off the craze. But this is the hot chicken chain

that follows me. Heidi B's. That follows. Dave's hot chicken. Dave's hot chicken. This is the one that follows me on Instagram. Dave's hot chicken. Jeff was one of the first people to go to Dave. Because they started in Los Filles. Next to his, like, in his neighborhood. Next to his house. His old house. Okay, yes.

Next up. What national change did you start at? I went to Arby's once. Yeah, the fucking 90s. I'll say this. That trip that I came to national and I only took a picture of Reba McIntyre's dress. The revelation of that, this is 2015, like in the spring,

I did a lot of research and I found out about princes and I ate the hot chicken I fucking loved it I went back to L.A. being like you guys won't believe this and it was like just minutes before the craze hit everywhere

so I was like I'm interesting I'm well traveled and then just tenders tenders tenders as far as I could see every fucking corner was that shit in L.A. I'm well traveled I went to a Vegas two Michael, you have three points.

For that little comment I just made? You earned three points. Tim, a paltry two and a half. Oh, it's coming down. Is this the last question? What do you think I got the half for? For naming Miranda. You didn't know Lambert.

But not Lambert. I know you had it. In my mind, we're tied up. Question number eight. Well, he might have lost the beef, but at least he won the chicken. Yep, Drake. This guy is a major stakeholder in Dave's Hot Chicken. Yes, it's Drake.

Sorry. I gotta give it up. That's a well-worded question and a great answer. Well, yep, thank you. Thanks to both of you for the question and the acknowledgement, the praise. A little acknowledgement goes a long way in this business. Sure does.

We're down to the last question. Here's the weird thing. This question is worth 600 points. So either one of us blows against This blows the other one out of the water. Makes my four points seem like. This one comes from X formerly Twitter. You guys are both chronically online, yes?

Yes. And don't feel bad. I've heard that when you drink a lot of Tennessee mules, it makes you confuse Twitter and X. I'm on there, but I got to get out of line. Drake, the type of dude to close this with his hips. Door. Door.

Car door. was the limo door Dreyer door Drake the type of dude to close this with his hips Tab, bar tab I don't know He's an artist

He's a singer We've seen Jeff How lyrics can be out of control sometimes That's true Pussy Shakes his Oh Think less creative

He's not closing pussy Closing bar tabs Not door More creative than door Shakes his Wait what is he's shaking what Drake, the type of dude to close this with his... Refrigerator.

Tim. Mike, the quiz closes out. Hey! Ew! Ah! Wow! Give it up for Tim on that quiz. Give it up for Jeff, folks.

Damn. I thought I had some cheering, but I'll just play some random little sound effect here. That means quiz. Tim, that means you won. You have... Tim, you win with 6002.2.5 points versus Michael's four. Tim's already gone up and accepted it. There's been cheering. He's back down. I'm back at the hotel.
