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 Michael Hanford. Hello, everyone. And Tim Calpacquez. What ease up. And allow me to be the first to wish you a very merry Halloween. Oh, many booze to you and yours. Booze to you.

Jeff Halloween was last Friday. Are you for real? Allow me to be the very last to wish you a Merry Halloween. It's time to put that way. People don't give enough credit to the final well wishes for any right of passage, you know? The last person to say happy birthday to you, it's almost your next. birthday yeah the birthday i can never keep these fucking date straight also the tours got me all it's got me in such a state oh the tour i miss the tour i'm brought to be back out there

we're on we're on it's a fucking mess i knew it i knew it we're playing in milwaukee tonight i know he means on stage i miss the current era we're living in i miss i miss i miss I miss later tonight. Yes, I'm going to miss later tonight later next week. That's what I meant. Do I have to explain that every single time I say I'm excited about something? No, from now on I'll know what you mean. Good.

You should. Everyone should. I'm concerned that we're this far off the rails this early. We're not two minutes in and this is the state we're in. This is going to be a tough drink. This isn't going to be a sidewalk slimmer type drink, is it? I hope not. I hope not, too.

I don't need to be going out in the sidewalks. That's for later. That's for later. We haven't even that shit yet, yes. Right now we're stone sober in the episodes of fucking mess. I feel like this is going to be more contentious like the time that Gallagher was on Mark Merrin. They'll boo you. They'll boo you.

I have to say about WTF, a podcast with Mark Maron, what was great about that show, they had this guest on, do you know Barack Obama? Yes. Yes. sir he's here sir tell us about your dog you speak of you speak of boe yeah that's right the only thing we know how to do

when we do an Obama impression say we should start having a cast of improv characters like that that we roll out we're not one of those shows Tim yeah we don't like to perform in that way in that particular way, sure.

And we don't need that kind of fervent listenership either. Well, now, well, who, somebody was talking about Barack Obama. What are we talking about? Oh, I was saying that I listened to WTF and the, there was guest was this guy, Barack

Obama. His job was that he was the commander in chief of the America. So I learned a lot about it when I was listening to that podcast. Oh, good. We never poured one out Merrin, did we? We should.

For WGF. I'll do one right now. He's sort of our pod forefather, if you really think about it. He got this whole thing going. Yeah, let me pour one out here. Damn, he's good. First, you can do an Obama impression. Now he's got a, he's the sound effect king.

A can impression. I would have said bottle. What was the first pod do you ever listen to? Sound of Young America with Jesse Thorne. I think that was mine. That was the one of them. I think either that or the Ricky Jervase podcast. The Ricky Jervase show on Guardian Unlimited.

I was like so confused. I was like, well, wait, when does this start and end? Is this a season? How many of these are there? I didn't feel like, look, I understand what a podcast is now, of course. But I was just very confused on like what it, it wasn't containable. You know what I mean? It can't be contained.

This media is too exciting. Podcasts, yeah, they can't be contained. I remember having a pod, you know, oh, podcasts around now. We have podcasts. You listen to them on your iPod. But for me, I would just burn them on CD. Like, I have many, many spindles of burned podcasts of Sounding America and WTF

and Who Charted and Ricky Jervais. I, like, didn't put it together like, no, no, these go on your iPod. Podcast. He's going on. not CD cast that's different you're going to mention it Jeff my fucking haircut it looks good yes Mike you look damn good

now this is this is high and tight this is trim trim trim oh wait what's the voice you say this to you about your own I've got a I've got a sort of a beat going in my head do to do to do ooh wait a minute what was the last thing where it was just like

you had a joke that had ooh remember that was a little song Brett summer yeah yeah yeah

yeah yeah yeah yeah I guess that's sort of my modeling style is ooh no I got a haircut

today I got a real tight cut I showed him a picture of Samuel Beckett and I said make me look

like this man the hell wait Samuel Beckett had short hair play right Samuel Beckett yeah I would have

because he would have have unfurled long locks. No, no, you're thinking of... Oh, they're very furled. You perhaps are thinking of Shakespeare himself, or Moliere. But anyway, I'm sitting there. I told the guy he did a good job where, you know, it's always the first day of a haircut.

You don't know what you're getting and we'll see what happens tomorrow. But there was a guy ahead of me that I noticed. It's like, okay, he's getting a haircut. He was doing a little bit of the whalen or the, what's the fucking country star Morgan Wallen

Morgan Wallen Morgan Wallen he was getting a little he had a really nice front like a tight front and he had a little tiny bit of a mullet in the back and I said oh wow

leave me a little flap but he was he was dressed sort of in like a suit like he was going to work or something and I said okay so this is an interesting look well it was funny because he wasn't going to work

unless he worked at home I was walking him around my neighborhood later kind of strutton because I have this new nice haircut on I'm like I just shower I got a crisp nice coat on it's autumn strutting around and I see the guy with his the other guy with his brand new haircut and I was like hey look at him he's got to do what I'm doing really standing up tall and kind of walking around like hey I got new haircut I run home after a haircut I've never liked it right out the box like that this this was later yeah

this was later in the day after I did my I had lunch and I showered Yeah, but you liked it immediately, day of. Loved it immediately. New haircut is sort of like the feeling of being your birthday. As an adult, you know, you're kind of like, you know, you're like a little embarrassed, a little proud. You're wearing a rueful grain. Right. And it's like, and if people don't know, it's like if you're talking to strangers, they don't know it's a haircut.

If you're talking to strangers, they don't know it's your birthday. But you're like, this is a little special about me. you kind of have to wait at work for some people to be like hey nice haircut or if it doesn't come by like lunchtime like no one's going to say anything about the haircut anymore

this is it you know my haircut hack right scissors it's hey it's the number one recommended way to cut hair is scissors not a knife not a razor blade no no here's your hack

this sort of like softens the blow if it turns out bad you get a haircut on the books yeah you put on your favorite shirt wow right you've told me that that way the bib you get the bib on the whole time the bib comes off and you like the way you look you know yep yep you're like hey from the neck down i'm doing great already let's take a look up whoa i'm wearing the good shirt i like the way i look i'm gonna i i do like the way i look to quote The hack for me that I've done incorrectly too many times

That's why it's not really a hack but is wearing my contacts, not my glasses Because you have to take the glasses off and then the whole time you're going Why, I can't see anything. How's it going? What are you doing over there? Hey, what's going on over there? Whoa, hey, buddy. I'm not a glasses man.

So that's not a problem for me. But you're a 24-7 contacts guy. Well, not the day I die. You're a 365, but not 24-7. I got him in case of like earthquake, you know. Until the day I talk. You got that many packs? Did I tell you guys about how I think I did it?

When I went to see MJ Lenderman, I saw my barber and I was all excited. I was like, hey, it's me. And he kind of didn't give a fuck. And he was with his Gen Z friends. And I was like, it's, I'm his customer. He wasn't proud of his work. My tips got his ticket, I'm sure. Man, that's a funny thing.

You never realized like at some point. your barber or your haircut person is going to be younger than you. I never clocked that. Like, yeah, true. A weird one is when a doctor,

if a therapist is younger than you, doctor, that's weird. Yeah. I like a young doctor. I don't like a young therapist. I, right.

I want an old therapist who's like, yes, I've seen it all. My boy. I know exactly. I do. I know how to get you out of this, uh,

emotional particulatement. It's easy. I used to have a podcast. cashed you way back in the day we used to record on wood uh what dude you're weird wood and we'd send it around you're not supposed to call me weird we talked about that but you are weird let's set a boundary that you can't call me weird oh god here

he's weaponizing therapy speak i'm gonna wop with this whoop you up the head with this boundary go bow yowch Hey, before we get off haircuts, I just want to give a shout to one of my favorite episodes of TV. In The People versus OJ, when Sarah Paulson as Marshall Clark gets her perm, that episode is so good.

Oh, I never saw that thing. I mean, I remember watching that, but I couldn't pull out episodes for you. You know, Ryan Murphy is challenging because he's campy. It's kind of over the top a little bit, you know? Yeah. But less so in those, right?

That one I remember being pretty, pretty, like, level. Like, he's done other stuff that's... Like, American Horror Story is crazy. Sure. What was it, Dolcey Gabbana? No, he did the Versace thing. That was a little over-the-top, I thought.

In a good way, in a good, like, in a purposeful way. Yeah, for sure. But the OJ one still has the thing of, like, oh, John Chavolta is playing Shapiro, and he has a funny wig. You know, like, there's just, like, not full-on camp, but there's just, there's some zaz. The trial itself, Tim, was a circus every day. Here we go. Here we're getting this.

And you can watch it on C-SPAN. I remember being a kid. Oh, Dad, this is the first court case I'm watching on C-SPAN. Dad, can we watch C-SPAN? Dad, Dad, put me down. I don't want to go to school. No, son, you're watching cartoons all night. No, dad.

Oh, no, I don't want to watch any more. Ed, Ed and Eddie. Dad, can I have my spanking early tonight? Please. This spanking is inevitable, but he wants it early. All right. Do we get into some booze news, please? Bip, Bip, Bip.

Aren't you going to ask me about what's behind me? What's behind you? I know what's behind you. The beloved America's favorite mascot, Coolidge. Yeah, I got a new background here. America's favorite. Ooh, here we go. But here's the thing, Jeff.

It's not just Coolidge. It's Coolidge T-shirts and sweatshirts we have now for sale. Oh, my God. beautiful product. If you want to rep the coolest new LLC on the block, the sloppy boys LLC, purveyors of podcasts and musical

events. Yeah. Kids are always excited about the new LLC that's been registered. But it's a hip new look for the sloppy boys. And I got I got way too much product over here. I got to move it. I got to

move that. That's why it's piled up behind me. I'm sewed under with it. So, The idea behind our iconic flagship character, Coolidge, the Cat, is we noticed Garfield, President, an old president name for an orange cat. He's right. He's Cliff. Old Jane Austen name for an orange cat.

And we said, why. Hobbs? Hobbs. Hobbs. What's Hobbs? A philosopher? Yeah, philosopher. philosopher. So, oh, what's with the

old names for the orange cats? So then we said President Coolidge. So we kind of just went back to the Garfield. But damn, he looks good. Plus, he's got his catchphrase. His famous catchphrase on here. What's a toya? What's a toya? He always got an attitude, yeah. And on the front

nasty world, there's a little nasty world. Who nasty world? The, I'll tell you, the sweatshirts went like crazy. The hoodies went like crazy on tour. People live with the hoodies. If you see him out there, folks, snap them up. Snap them up? Do you think that people like the design,

or is it that they're cold and their heads are cold and they need a hood? I think they like the design, but then they say, hey, the winter months are coming. I could get the, like you're saying,

to get this head a little warmer. Yeah. My heart's is warm as hell because I just saw the Slavi boys. Now my head. This is good. You want to anticipate the needs of the customer. You know they're going to be cold.

They don't know. They haven't thought that far ahead. You create immediacy. You need this sweatshirt right now because it's free. out there. You're going to freeze your head off. What if? If we want to sell podcast listeners, you tune out, this is private

just for the slops. In order to sell a lot of merch, if we couldn't, maybe we start doing chem trails in the sky so we can control the weather. And if we make it cloudier and colder, people need hoodies where are they going to turn? They need the sloppy boy's nasty world. Cool is the cat hoodie. That's exactly right. And we start selling

hats. We start selling mitten. boots. We sell we start selling whole I don't know humidors. Heaters. Heaters walk in heater rooms. They're like, what's that? What's the, who's drawn

all these chem trails up the sky? They look up and they see the sloppy boys in Jeff's Chevy tracks. It's got wings out. It's got wings now. They see one chem trail this way, one go that way. What is this? You step back. Oh my God, it's a Coolidge the cat. Picture. in the sky.

Skywriting. Skywriting. Yeah, yeah. We actually have that in L.A. Do you have that New York skywriting? I haven't seen it much. Probably not as effective. Too many tall buildings.

And there's just a lot of air traffic. Everyone's down in that subway, you know? Yeah, yeah. They need ads down. Somebody's got to put ads down on the subway. They'd make a million bucks. Okay. Can we get us some booze news?

I kind of want to get to this drink. I'm excited. So you're saying, I asked you if you were ready for booze news and you said you're excited for the next segment. But that's what I'm saying. I'm just getting a listener ready. we're all excited over here sorry about Mike Tim don't let him throw you sorry about Mike

okay Jeff I'm just creating a vibe of excitement Jeff don't apologize to him for me I do not apologize for him okay I'm not sorry for what I just did there was a recent article in Eater that I found very interesting I just sent you guys a link in the chat now the headline is

we're talking about decor restaurant decor and the headline is millennial minimalism restaurant decor is dead enter the nostalgic tavern white walls and succulents

be gone the people yearn for lived in furniture dark wood and grandmas chotchkes cool and on their Instagram post they say cozy maxing is back in a big way

corporate line drawings white walls and monstera plant minimalism now feels impersonal there's a new wave of restaurants with eclectic chotchky heavy decor yep i'm seeing a lot of colors and a lot of textures yep natural textures yep a lot of uh rounded booths you're rounded corner booth area types very nice take for instance pits in red hook brooklyn with its carrot print wallpaper and 90s check print details or the dollhouse appeal of luncheonette's vintage like exterior in portland maine Now, here's what I thought was interesting.

Why now? They say that in politically turbulent times, there's a shift back into escapism. There's an intense desire to inject whimsy, quirkiness, retro-influenced kitsch after a decade of what feels like very tasteful, inoffensive, though suffocatingly homogenous zeitgeist. Yeah. As somebody who likes clean and modern, I was a little bummed to see the shift in clothes. from like millennial minimal neutral I liked that I felt like that was clicking for me and but now I am seeing like what we've been seeing for a while bigger clothes more colorful clothes more clashing color blocking and I think it's that's like a shift that's quicker to happen in clothes

because it's just like a $30 t-shirt versus the design of your living room or a restaurant right in restaurants like to get a restaurant group a big corporation on board for a style shift like slowly change in fashion like people can streetwear can start doing something and then I mean I guess it takes a while between like high fashion makes its way into the mall and then like you know there's there's a delay there but like for real these coolidge shirts are kind of right on the forefront of what's happening that's kind of ahead of the game that's like next year's shit now yeah yeah and you got to get them now folks because they're not going to be lasting too long it's the next year's thing but get them now because you're going to

don't want to wear them this year. Yeah. You wanted to be all worn out and boring before next year. Yes, yes, yes. Sweatily nodding at each other.

But yeah, it's always bothered me, especially like Los Fillas, I tend to think of as a cool place, but it's expensive. So a lot of the restaurants that open around here are a few years behind the times because they're their big money, so they're based on old research.

But I have noticed a couple of the new places. There's a new place in what used to be Simply Ty and then was Ty and Hillers is now called like the Wilds just open. And it's got like some British country side flair. You know, I love Donna's in Echo Park. And that's like doing a hole in the wall Italian place, but it's brand new or from like, you know, a year ago. It's funny to think about this stuff is like, you know,

This is the cool new thing or whatever. But this will then become the thing. It's like, oh, now every restaurant is getting like the grandma chairs all over the place. And it's cool. It's cool to be thinking about it at this level right now. Yeah. I mean, I think that no trend is ever here to stay. So it's especially funny if like timeless, if you're like nostalgia or retro, it's like,

you can't have time. You can't have the cool thing be the old thing, you know, because it's like so clearly just like this moment. But it's funny, like, Jeff, you mentioned with fashion, I'm thinking like, if you, a few years ago when it was like people wearing like beige t-shirts and beige sweatpants and then you're going and eating at a beige restaurant. Yes. Like this, the contrast at first, when minimalism was new, it feels like, whoa. But then if you're, yeah, if you're dressed plain and you're in a plain place, you're like, what am I doing here? Yeah, yeah. But I think that kind of one thing that I liked,

I think that like Chotchkes and Grandma-type furniture or tavern design is a very specific reference. But I do think that that will, is just part of a trend. But I do like the idea that like just distinct stuff in general, making a big choice is cool. And the quote I like here, it said, when people go out to eat, they're often investing their time into an experience. I have a lot to say on the subject of the move away from blob minimalism, a lot of which has to do with fast-paced trends and AI slop, leading us to a monoculture

devoid of individual aesthetics. So I do think it's good when nuance is cool because nuance can be any whatever's personal to the owner of the restaurant, you know? Yes. I like this trend, especially in, as I'm drinking coffee like these days. I like this trend more in the coffee house.

You know what I mean? So you would rather be in a central purpose. with a mismatched furniture and tapestries than be at a hell yeah phoebe turn that goddamn music down i'm trying to talk to chandler about something i'm tired of smelly cat oh chanler's got some fake fucking thing going on i'm trying to figure out for him jesus what character are you this is gunther's friend is gunther's friend he was around for a few episodes they really the crowd really like the guy I mean, the gang really liked the guy, but he just couldn't get shit done. Yeah, he didn't fit in.

He's just so frustrating. Frustrated. Well, that's really cool, Tim. Oh, wait, what's the, there's a new bar on Hillhurst coming in by the low boy people and the republic people you were telling me about it. Yeah. I got to imagine they're doing a similar aesthetic. Yeah, I forget the name of that new one, but I don't know what choice they're going to make.

But like, yeah, that's the Donnas people as well. and low boy is doing that where it's like it's posh uh pricing actually it's not too expensive it's almost glitter divey yeah it's like there's like a schlitz sign on the wall but it's sort of a tidy wall you know and like they do do shot in beer specials but it's not like eight dollars for a city wide it's like you know that's kelsey's inspo for her new apartment is low boy like it's like half mid-century modern and then the other half is like weird old books and like uh ephemera right like oddities like a jackalope or you know kitch and i think that that with the kitch it's like that's where you show your personality because kitch isn't one thing it's like so i think that

anyway getting back to this article yeah i think that it depends on what the chachkes are or what the old furniture is and i and i do think that um this is we're not just saying retro like it's saying nostalgia here but like this is different than suburban chic which was a post pandemic comfort craving. Yeah. But that was sort of like a winkiness to saying like, hey, we're kind of like TGI Fridays, but we're in Brooklyn. This is more eclectic than that.

And like storybook is a pretty big swing. Like some of this stuff is full on weird and I think that's cool. Sweet, man. You know what's funny? I still like, like my favorite bar probably is still like the Tamo Shanter bar like that. that, like, it just feels like an old place that maybe a hobbit might come into, but it's like, surroundings of substance. It's like low, there's barely any music on, like, that's more interesting to me ultimately,

or that's kind of what we're talking about. It's like homesy or homing. Yeah. There's tradition there. Like, it's got its own tradition. It's such an institution in itself. It's all fake tradition. I mean, no, it's got real tradition that's like L.A. tradition, but it's joking on like a,

not joking, but it's taking from like a Scottish. was yeah tradition but that is a funny thing that happens when it's like if a restaurant is like new but in this old style it's sort of like doing an impression of what it even actually is

I feel that way about like Donna's which is just I mean you just it's just a great restaurant but like on one it's like hey it feels like I'm at an Italian restaurant it's like you are dude yeah that's good that's kind of feel like good good good

oh good good good well that's incredible booze news I look forward to the change. Okay, here's something else that you're going to look forward to is seeing the sloppy boys live. Tonight, we're in Milwaukee at X-ray Arcade. That's November 7th. Then tomorrow we're doing two shows in Chicago at Beat Kitchen, November 8th.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Now we're taking dinners with Stephen Malchimus and going on vacation with the yeah, yeah, yeah. I like the idea we're like, we're trying to, we're bragging that we're getting popular. But then we don't want to sound industry popular. So it's like, we're being whined and dined by Fugazi, and they're cool at DIY. Yeah, right. Yes.

The likes of Henry Rollins. Yes. Henry Rollins is giving us lots of money. Perfect. Well, is that it for booze news? Wrap it up. Dan, that's some good booze news. But now we turn our attention to the drink of the day.

Ooh. Perfect for one week after Halloween. Boo. The Incredible Hulk you've had. No. Not had, not heard. Not had, not heard. Same here.

I had never heard. It came across my desk in the most peculiar of ways. I saw an Instagram reel, an IG reel. Ooh. You're familiar with cups. Water canned cocktails, are you not? Yes. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, they do Bloody Marys. They do, you know, Maitis, vodka sodas. Bloody Marys, wet wanda's. Yeah, the whole thing. Yeah, wet wanas, slippery soos. Make all that stuff. Well, somebody on Instagram made a fake purple and green can. The setting, The Incredible Hulk made with Hennessy.

And, you know, it had a lady singing going, no, no, no, no. And so I sprinted. to the comments to see like, what the fuck is this? How have I never heard of a drink called the Incredible Hall? And the comments are what really got me. The comments such as crime rape about to go back

up. Nobody who survived the original would even think of bringing this back. And cut water can go to hell. So I said, this drink is a menace. What the fuck is this? The Incredible Hulk drink. So I did

some digging. And now our feature press In the words of Memphis rap group, stress-free fam, What's that green stuff in yo cup? It's that shit called Incredible Hulk. Hypnotic and Hennessy really don't mix. In the club, get buck, about to tear some shit. Oh, shit.

This is the song Incredible Hulk off of Hard Times and Few Smiles, their 2006 album. You probably never heard that, did you? Who is the band? Stress-free fam? Okay. I never heard that. This is, this 2006, and they devoted a whole song to the treachery that is the Incredible Hulk. To fully understand it, I went back to 2001.

This is the year that Hypnotic finally like, hypnotic came out. But back then, they actually called it Hypnotique. Can you imagine that? who did the guy who made it his name is raphael yakoby um and now they just call ralph yacob it's like french or french inspired it's a blend of cognac vodka and tropical fruit flavor of course you might know it just from its blue color this thing's clocking in at about 34 proof but they were really leaning into the french the french so they called it hypnotique i never had this stuff i hadn't until uh Just when I was bottling it up for Tim. But this guy, Raphael, I already like him. I like this guy already, Raphael. I don't know what it is about this guy.

Damn! He's a college dropout from Long Island who is selling it directly to club promoters and music industry influentials. So he's doing this like out of the back of his car, DIY ethos like us. Hey. Not so bad, right? I don't know. he's in New York and this big shot music

exec, Nick Storm. He's at Sony Music. He joins the team in 2001, the same year that this launches. This guy Nick joins Raphael. Hulk Storm, who's the CEO behind all this stuff? Dr. Xavier! Jesus, fucking

McGee-Shith. But he convinces Raphael to start calling it the more street-wise hypnotic. It's hypnotic. It's hypnotic. It's hypnotic. Right. Let's get it. going with the club people in urban settings, the cool clubs in New York. I know a lot of them.

Legend has it, and this sounds a little bit manufactured to me. Nick Storm is doing events and tastings at New York liquor stores. One night he's there with one of the promo model girls and they're doing like, hey, you want to try some hypnotic? Hey, come over here. Try some hypnotic. This dude walks in and he's like, yeah, we know hypnotic. Let me show you how we do it. He takes the little tasting cup, puts in a little Hennessy, puts in a little hypnotic as well, and it turns green right before their very eyes.

Really? And he says, we call this the money shot around here. And so much like the cyberpunk ethos, the street makes its own, what's the cyberpunk ethos is like, no, no, no, no, the street makes its own way or something like that. The street finds its own use. That's what it is. Nature finds a way. Nature finds its way. This guy goes away, comes back and asks the model for a number.

Steampunk says, I need to find my goggles. Yeah, that's steampunk, but not cyber. All right, all right. Steam, not cyber. So this guy, though, he shows him to drink, takes the little shot, goes away, comes back and asks, has the nerve, has the gall, to ask for the model's number. She's at works. She declines.

And he apologizes saying, quote, oh, sorry, you know, I just get confidence. This drinks makes me feel like I'm strong, like I'm the Hulk or something. Oh. Nick Storm clocks this. And he's thinking, we're not calling us a money shot. He calls Raphael and he's like, yo, I have an idea. I got a cousin. I'm going to throw my cousin in an incredible Hulk costume.

And we're going to bring him to the club night at the music industry night that I promote at Justins. Justin's is this bar and restaurant that Diddy owns in New York. Rapper and freak off. innovator Diddy. The night is a huge success. They start doing it in all the New York clubs and hypnotic becomes this like cool secret ingredient to make the Incredible Hulk.

This is a very Appletini-esque origin story, is it not? Yeah, this is, I'm liking how, like all the steps of this thing. It's like, yeah, we had this weird thing and we combined it with a well, more well-known thing. And then we set off a club explosion. We got the young people drinking it. It's especially big among rappers

and club culture. especially when it hits the south and it gets name checked by the likes of Mike, your favorite, Master P. Master P, I can relate to him. But also Chingy and Twista for Tim. Oh, thank you. Twista.

Twista, twist Fasta. From 2001 to 2004, it jumps from selling about 1,000 a year to 1 million cases a year. And you can really dig into it if you want to read this article for Vine Pear his article on Vine Pair called Hypnotic Hennessy and the Hulk

The Incredible Story Behind It, An iconic hip hop cocktail by Adam Reiner. So here I am, me, Young Duddy, trying to make it for the first time today. I know where to go. I'm going to top line liquor. I know they have it

because when I went looking for Pucker, the guy sort of made fun of me and said, you're looking for something dumb, I have hypnotic. So I know they have hypnotic. I go in, and I'm like, do you have hypnotic and the lady says no but lo and behold there is one a guy came in earlier and

bought five bottles so no news no news on who that mystery customer is no news is a good news on this one it's not ditty he's locked up i made a joke like what is it flying off the shelves and she was like well a guy did come in yesterday and bought like five bottles so i don't know what he's up to but soon as i got the hypnotic i said now do you have hennessy and she went whof and that seems to be response that this drink gets if you start oh she knew it was coming oh yeah she knew it was coming and she starts telling me like oh i remember specific headaches from this drink and i was like incredible hulk and she was like yeah they call it different things but yeah uh we called it incredible hulk in in like the the aughts in new york and so she starts like talking about she's

she goes back to the register and i i dive for my phone because i never remember to hit record on these these great conversations and so as i check I managed to get like a little bit of a thing. Here we go. It's just like waves of memories are... You said you used to drink it at the club? It's because it closed in the dark. Yeah, when was that? If you look at like old like R&B and rat videos from like the 90s or early 2000s, you'll see.

Yeah? Yeah. Wow. Dang. Ah, good times. 65. You got it. Thank you. Where in the world were you?

world, were you? Well, mostly New York. Okay. I know. Yeah, it was... I heard it was like Diddy affiliated. Yeah, he was pretty big back then, right?

It was like, because it was like biggie, it was him, but it was just like, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. Have a good one. Thank you, too. So like the head shaking associated with this drink of people who remember being like, yeah, I remember that.

It's got four loco-ish charm. Yeah, that's so funny. Her tone of like not wanting to go into it, just like, yeah, yeah, and you're like, she's got some wild memories. This is crazy. I'm excited to try this thing. Here's how we're going to do it. This is how I told they did it back in the day.

It's equal parts shaken on ice. or a stirred rather stirred you can shake it if you want you want a cold light. I'll say you lightly. Yeah, I think I'm going to give a light shake. But since it's equal parts, you can dial it up and down. I'm kind of going to go for the best green.

I'm going to go equal parts, but I'm told that a little more hypnonic is going to make it, yeah, a little sweeter, but it's also going to give you a better green. Ah. So that's going to be my round one. So, hmm, hmm.

I might just do, I don't know, Jeff. I want to be green too because I want to have the picture, you know, because everyone, you got to have the picture, it's got to be green. But I want to make the damn thing the way it's supposed to be made, 50-50. Maybe we do it according to the letter of the law to start. Tim, any thoughts? Yeah, I'm going to do the letter of the law in the first round. and let's see what this green comes out as.

But I'm really excited. This is such a, it's rare to come across thing you've never heard of and then it's like got this aura around it. It's notorious. It's bright green and it's named the Incredible Hulk and I hadn't heard about it until a week ago. Where the fuck have I been? People are scared to talk about it.

Let's make this thing. So, and do you guys know anything else people use hypnotic for? If sales of hypnotic skyrocketed, I guess it was all people making, Hulk because I don't know I don't know any other uses for it or I don't know any I'll tell you I'll say this before even having a taste of it now that I've got a big bottle of hypnotic we next next time let's find another hypnotic drink and do it yeah because I got to get rid of this shit yeah the many other hypnotic drinks um cool well should we taste it on its own to discuss that or maybe we say that for a little deeper in the app I'll do whatever man let's see that let's save that let's let's just try the Hulk for now Okay, folks, we're going to go make up these hulks. And when we come back, uh, does Hulk, does Hulk smash or does Hulk crash? Mm.

Think about that. Smash or crash. We'll be right back with more sloppy boys. We're here for the beer. We're here for the beer. Let me make this perfect thing. Fucking plan. and we're back incredible hulks in hand um i did it properly and i got to say i do not like my

green it is quite fecal um yeah this is i wish you hadn't said that jeff that's i wish that hey i didn't said that to me now i got to drink this stuff this book looks what i would have thought the the uh swamp water swamp water should look like as i was pouring my hennessee into the hypnotic there was a moment there where it was perfect green and then I kept foring to get to the equal parts and it turned into swamp. Yeah. But man, I got to say the hypnotic is beautiful.

Look how, like, how is it so neon? How is it so glowy? It's like teal turquoise. It's like that water on like a white sandy beach. Yeah, or like a Windows XP background. All right, Sips. Is everybody ready to transform? Tim, you had muted your mic there.

Interesting. Oh, I've been doing. a lot of talking. How come you guys never respond to me? You never respond to me. Sips. Sips. There we go.

Are you ready to transform? Oh, I already did my sip. Mmm. Interesting. That's interesting. Yeah, it's funny. I mean, it works because it's like, I took a little sip of it.

Hypnotic. It tastes like lemonade. And then Hennessy, so it's like, you know, Konyk and lemonade is great. This is a, yeah, this is a little bit like a whiskey sour. Yeah. Just kind of has. Yeah.

It's bizarre. They're both, so Hypnotic, again, is a mixture of vodka and cognac and tropical fruit. So, yeah, probably just a good amount of just citrus because most stuff, most stuff in drinks is just like citric acid or lemon juice derived. Oh, it's funny that hypnotic has... It's funny that always has cognac in there. Yeah, and

you add cognac. What's the proof on the hypnotic? 34. Percent or proof? Proof. That's low. 17% ABV. That's a lot of the lemon and sugar aspects of it. Yeah.

And Hennessy on its own, I do love. I've touted my drink I call a Hennessy and Lemon, which is not actually lemon juice, but lemon peel. Lemon peel. You get the lemon oils in there. Penny twist. Simple syrup, orange bitters with a

with Hennessy. It's great. Let me say this about the drink. I am, now before you jumped on my throat, let me just explain. I'm disappointed with this drink because when I heard it had this name and is going to be a fun color, my brain went to the great ape

and being like, oh, yeah, that was a big fruity like tasted like candy you sip it down three big straws this is just it's not a bad taste it's just uh not a big chugger like i thought it was going to be a uh sweety like a punch kind of yeah right either either like tasted extreme or tasted like oh i can barely tell but this is just kind of its own special cocktail uh yeah taste I think that it was probably the version that got popular probably had more hypnotic yeah and and it had that Long Island iced tea quality of like oh it masks the Hennessy so well I've had three or four of these things I didn't realize it right see isn't particularly

rough of a it's not like that's an extremely yeah okay no it's pretty it's actually pretty smooth right for like a cognac in there I would say it's very special it's a nice time. I get people having bad memories from this because it's like people that get bad hangovers, they complain about it. It's like the sugar that really does it. And this, this is a very, feels like a very sweet. Like if you're drinking a lot of Hennessy already, that's a lot of sweetness and then you add this other thing. So I see how it's a recipe for disaster. But I like, I like that it tastes like more of a, it sounds like it's going to be a crazy novelty. It looks like it's going to be a crazy novelty, but it kind of just tastes

like a tonyic and lemon. It's a little bit to me feels like I forget what drink it was but we but we said like it never becomes

its own thing you just sort of like taste the parts it feels a little clashy to me it doesn't feel like alchemy but in the punk rock scene

being clashy is great that's true Rudy can't fail did the punk scene sort of sprout from the DIY aesthetic oh we've sprouted from the

DIY, do yourself. Ah, we're punkers. Ethos. Ethos, ethos. Just putting it together, ah, we're punkers. Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha. Man, I can't wait to add more hypnotic to mine, but I am going to finish this one as scripted. I just want to say something real quick about the band. I think we are playing very well.

The band we're in? The band we're in. Sloppy boys. Sloppy boys. While we're on tour here, we've been playing well. We've been playing tight. We've been playing songs that building up songs from the

catalog that I haven't been played as much. It's a fun little time out there and we're taking us some chances. We're turning things up, turning things down. When we meet people at the merch table after the show, we played 10 cities on the East Coast

and during the course, you start to hear the word tight. It comes up more often by the end of the tour and you realize, okay so Mike lives in New York me and Jeff live in LA we didn't rehearse before the doors so we meet up in Chapel Hill

and we're basically rehearsing on stage in front of audience and then the audience wants to give us shots which doesn't help for rehearsal time no it doesn't help me it doesn't have my timing on the kick drum but it is funny to be like between the first Chapel Hill and DC

we're just like dialing in and then we're like okay we're in Philly now we're a rehearsed band and then from that point for people everyone had fun and all of these shows were amazing nights. Here's the thing about Slami Shook Boy show. Each night is unique. There's something about it.

It's unique. Something will happen in the room or between us or something. And I can think back literally 10 shows, none of them were cookie cutter. There's a personality to each night. Totally. And there's a vibe in the room, always good vibe. But there's always like, it's always a good show. You know what I mean?

Anytime you stop at a place, it's like, how is this setup going to be? What's the stage you're going to be like this and that? You know, do we have drink tickets? Do we get a meal for this one? And different factors throw you. But each show, it was good. Each show was fun. And like everyone smiles across the fucking board in the audience.

The magic comes alive. We look in the audience. We just see teeth smiling. Yeah. And they're silent. It's actually a ghastly. Yeah. And we're seeing some bad dental work too.

to look out and see just a silent crowd of people with ghastly grins this this far from Halloween um you know what's a funny thing about our shows is uh a lot of people don't like it if there's someone who's like yelling or being belliger or whatever and i don't mind it because uh it gives us uh it's fun it's fun the playoff yeah my my parents were at our amherst show and uh there was there was a very wobbly loud drunk guy there and if you're listening oh yeah buddy but um That night, my parents were telling me after the show, so they're like, yeah, we're watching this guy. And he looked like he's kind of like woozing around, like, back and forth.

And I was like, oh, did he fall? They're like, no. And then he was like yelling. And I was like, what was he like saying offensive things? They're like, no, it was like, woo for the band and stuff. I was like, I think mom and dad, I think I'm okay with this guy. I think we might have a fan. I think that your son is in a band that is all about alcohol.

And this man was taking part of this. the very liquid that I promote. Yeah. Well, hey, we're not all about alcohol. We have two weed songs. That's true. We also have some party songs. And also, I was at some of these shows,

there were people who didn't drink at all, and they had even a better time. No, they had just an equal amount of good time as the other people. You certainly do not need to drink to enjoy the band. The band is expert musicianship. But there's something funny about alcohol overall is like, are you ever at a dinner? Yeah, I have.

Yeah. End of story. Yeah. Say no more, Tim. Jeff has. You're out at dinner and it's a bunch of friends and like one person has maybe just been drinking a little faster. So like you notice like this one person's slurry.

Little Lisa slurry? Little Lisa's slurry? Little Lisa slurry. That sounds like a Simpsons reference for sure. It's not. That's the problem with it. It's not. God, I wish it was.

Ah. Oh, God. It's actually a hey, Arnold. Reverend. Hey, Arnold. Listen to you guys, Ed, Ed and Eddie and Hey, Arnold. Are you hanging out with Gen Z? Ed, Ed, Ed and that's my new, that's my new, that's my new one now, Ed and Ed and Eddie. That's Beyond Our Times.

Beyond our time. I can picture Ed and Ed and Eddie, but I never watched him. Yeah, I never watched it either. I was more like Doug. They look like morons. They are morons. At least one of them is. Back to my fascinating thing.

You're at dinner. There's six friends eating dinner. one person's like fast fast with the drinks or maybe they had two drinks before dinner and now just everyone else is just kind of starting their night but there's a funny thing like

nobody like whether I'm talking about other people or me it's bad to be belligerent right like to be rude or to be mean or to be violent or to be falling down or whatever these are the bad things it's sort of funny that first zone when it's like someone's like puts their drink down too hard on the table

or their knife and fork clang too hard on the plate and you're like, so-and-so is a little too drunk. But they haven't done anything wrong. You have to remind yourself like, yeah, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. We're all here to drink that stuff. And like me in three hours is going to be yelling and drunk and cross-eyed. But this person just like maybe had the wine too fast at dinner

and then now suddenly I'm all uppity about it. We're all here for a couple of bowls, a loud-mell soup. I think in that sense, the person is like, oh, they're doing something that they'll be embarrassed about tomorrow. But yeah, at a concert or a party where everyone's going to be drunk anyway, it's, I get you. They're living in the future, man. They're just 50 minutes ahead of you. That's all. Right.

And it's just like the idea of when you're drunk, it's like you're going to talk a little loud or too much or be a little slurry or be a little sweaty. When you're in a place where the lights are low and there's music on, that's totally fine. But when you're in a place with no music and lights up, it's like, this, this is just wrong. I'm picturing this like, this guy's from the future. It's like somebody wearing like a Marty McFly and like slick back hair, but they're also kind of like stupid drunk looking. Like, I've been in the future and I look cool, but I'm also because we're going to a back to the future party in two hours. from now, so. Hey, I should dress as duck. Oh, you know,

he dresses Marty. But I've had that to myself. Like, you ever get of next morning anxiety and you're like, you know, oh, God, did I embarrass myself? And you're just sort of like, it's a chemical thing. Your body is anxious and it's looking

for things to pin it on. Now, you might have been awkward. You might have. Your body is anxious and then your brain as fuzzy memories. So you're wondering if everything that you did was bad. But it is just funny if it's like, you know, like if you have an honest friend who's leveling with you, you're like, what was I like last night? And they're like, while you were talking loud and your forehead was sweaty and your face was red, it's, it's bad if you, you know, like commit treason.

Yeah. Or tax fraud. Yeah. You shouldn't, you can't commit crimes. I'll be like, hey, was I like embarrassing last night? And people like, let's see, you told a joke that got the whole room laughing. You went behind the bar and served drinks that everyone loved and you danced on. Yeah, no, no, you had a great time and everyone loved it.

Isn't it nice when that age where you have no anxiety whatsoever, you wake up hungover, you are hungover. It's not that you're not hungover. You are hungover. And you look back at last night and you're like, that was awesome. I was so good. I was so funny. I had such a good time. everyone loved me

a lot of the times certainly if I embarrass myself I'll feel bad but most of the time I am just sort of like if I catch myself doing that thing of like it's Sunday morning and I'm thinking back to the Saturday I'm like well did I have fun

was it a good night of life and life tends to be boring or bad than who gives it fuck I'll tell you this when I'm on the receiving end of a Sunday morning text was I weird sorry I was such a mess last night

nine times out of ten I didn't clock the person at all and I don't know what they're talking about. So that should tell you for yourself that it's like no one's really paying close attention to you. I never get texts like that. I feel like people are like, oh man,

I was crazy drunk last night. Who cares what Hanford thinks? It's fine. They text 400 other people and they're like yeah, well, Mike can think we're cool. Did you text Hanford? You kind of were like using his head like a bongo. Who fucking who cares?

I'd do that if I was sober. It's funny because, Mike, I know you, Sunday morning, you wake up and you sit at your desk, you're ready a list of people who you thought were out of line last night. I wake up at 7 a.m. My windows, flip, flop open. Here I am. Who wronged me last night? Who wronged me?

Well, I'm already feeling a little gabby off this Hulk. Me too. Yeah. I should have mentioned. to take it back to the history just a little bit. Hypnotic was doing okay upon launch with women because it's blue and delicious, but the guys weren't ordering it.

So that's part of the inception of the incredible Hulk is that they needed a way to get guys to drink it. And then guys were like, I'm in. It's funny, though, to me that, okay, so this is a hit with women. How do we make it for guys? We're going to name it after an angry, strong man

like angry green man his besides being green a guy who smashes everything his only qualities are anger and strength his shirt rips off and his pants split open the fly is open

well he's smart before he turns green so I guess people are like that before you drink you're smart and then you get Hulkified and you get dumb and smash things yeah yeah you're come up with a drink that's called the David Banner that is lower alcohol content

right right It calms you down. You have a couple David banners after a couple Incredible Hulks, and then you have no anxiety. Don't send those texts. You don't send those texts. You put your phone away in a scientifically sealed box. It would just be water, I guess.

That's what turns you back. I was remembering... It's not fun or funny, but it is water. Turn them back. Did you ever see on Conan? There was a Brian McCann bit called Wrist Hulk. where he would when he like

you're making me mad and then he would Hulk out and then just his his wrist turned green and that was like you know and he was like oh I was remembering that and think it was funny

and then I also remember there was a there's a classic Conan bit where like I think maybe Tom Hanks is laughing at him or somebody's mocking him and he's like oh you're making me mad

and then he turns green but he doesn't get mussely he just turns green and it's so funny to think the same show had two takes on Incredible Hulk. It's the thing of like Incredible Hulk twists are like a thing that like comedy writers think a lot about.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. When I was a kid like people you admire like comedians or whatever like Jerry Seinfeld and Conan, these are guys who kind of came up during, I don't know, like Golden Era comics or whatever. And to hear, oh yeah, like you know, oh, I guess it was like the golden era. You know exactly when the Golden Era was. Well, I don't know if it's golden age, Silver Age or Bronze Age, Mike. But when I hear Chris Rock or Conan make like a comic book joke, I love it so much because it's like, people I like think the things that I like are cool and worth making jokes about.

It legitimizes the thing I already like. Jerry Seinfeld is Superman's biggest proponent in the mainstream. Superman fucking sucks, though. Really? Nobody's into Superman. Good to know. I didn't know this. Superman's just like the easiest one because he's like does it all.

He was like the first superhero. They're like, I don't know. He does everything. Everything. He's faster than a speeding bullet. He jumps buildings in a single bound. Yeah. Well, hey, Tim, this reminds me.

This reminds me. I'm going to say it on pod. We were shooting the shit in the van talking about Zobabababov. And because we didn't do one this year. Yeah. Well, Zobobovies are fud. They are fud, huh? But.

They are fun. Anything even of the sort. And so we were talking about like, it'd be cool. I want to show Tim like geek shit. Maybe we have like geek shit month during a slow month where there's nothing going on. Say May. March or May. March or May. Well, no, May flowers.

We're going to be busy with that. Or April. April showers, though. February. I don't know. What if it's a leap year? It's not. I'll offer myself up, much like a Messiah type figure, I will sacrifice myself.

I hate geek shit, but here, I'm, I can tell you, Tim, I've already been thinking like, if I only have three or four shots, movies, let's say, what are they going to be? What's it going to be? I think I like, what I would like to be introduced to is like, if you tell me what Superman sucks, hey, I agree. but then for you to cap shit for then for you to then

counter with why X men are good that I would be interested in hearing or I think here's what I would Yeah I wouldn't You know how we You got me doing the Jack Nicholson nod Yes yes

You know how many times It's been like Hey you know superheroes But what if they're kind of More fucked up Like I guess Watchman is maybe the first of those Yeah Is that what the boys is too

they're kind of yeah yep the boys is that too the boys I've never seen the boys before yeah I mean and thunderbolts and I think we have sloppy boys fan Jack Quaid is on the boys

the boys is good maybe he gets us on there yes but even more important Jack Quaid is a sloppy boys fan yeah he's got the sloppy boys mudflap t-shirt can you imagine that he should be wearing it in his movies and film yeah I know man

Oh, Jack. Your number one on the call sheet, you should be able to say what shirt you wear, and it should be our shirt. These big studio movies, they provide you with a free shirt. They buy you a shirt. Yeah, we should do the Incredible Hulk drink every episode. I'm feeling good about this one. The next actor's strike, it should be let the number one on the call sheet pick their shirts. God damn it.

I got something to say about geek shit. I would like to do this, and there's no time frame here, this could be whatever. I would like to get the three of us in a room. with some people who play Dungeons and Dragons and play Dungeons and Dragons and see what that's about because I think that's geek shit to the next level I think that's a blind spot for me a terrible blind spot there's something Jeff do you know there's another thing

it's kind of like Dungeons and Dragons but it's like Magic the Gathering MTG no no it's like about like Pokemon cards okay go ahead it's like being in space it's almost like heavy metal world where it's like in space there's all different types of worlds and people it's not just like orcs and medieval stuff it's also future but is it warhammer yeah i think that is it warhammer you like draw the that's like tabletop figurines that people paint and they move around like chess boards i don't know that shit either that sounds like it's even like crazier like many crazier levels up i i would love to do a d and d thing because it's also supposed to be like

you're you're participating in like telling a story and if you're funny it can be funny and if you're tragic it can be tragic yeah i just think it's one of those things like oh dunson dragons or magic cards is just such a thing or a punchline or like a category of person i but i've never actually i think i played once when i was like fourth grade but i don't know what it actually is you speak from a place of ignorance and acceptance should we make some new uh new drinks yeah we We should, but real quick, Tim, are you kind of a nub with X-Men? You don't know X-Men. Well, I know Professor X brought all these mutants together.

And who would try to take them apart? Tim, you're well on your way. And I know that you may call him Wolverine, but I know I'm as lonely. Tim, just stay away from Beast unless he's had lunch. I'll tell you that much. Wait, but you've never seen any of those X-Men's movies? Never seen any X-Men movie, never seen Logan, never read an X-Men comic. You never watched X-Men the animated series, never read an X-Men comic book.

So, yeah, that gives me a lot of direction. But I do know the theme song goes, oh, do-d-d-d-d-d-do-doo-deep, do-deep, do-dib-dib-doo-de-de-a-doo. Yeah, I just do that. Let's get another drink going here. What do we add to this? Okay, let's get another drink. Okay, folks, we're going to make another drink. I'm going to do the same thing more hypnotic, because I want that green, baby.

Yeah, me too. I'm going to see what I got going on in here. Maybe I'll do a little of that, like, fake roses lime juice. Huh? Give that a little... Interesting. A little taste. Oh, yeah.

To green it up. Green it up. Just to switch, just to give the taste a little something. Green up. When you guys did equal parts, how big were your parts? I did like two ounces of each. Two ounces on an ounce and a half. I have to do less now, though, because I have ran out of Hennessy.

I've got a little tiny bit of Henney left. Is there anything else I could? could i don't i don't even have any of that like cognac that's like the sv brand like coniac brandy brandy whiskey yeah it doesn't make so close yeah i'll see what i got all right folks we'll be right back with more the sloppy boys the podcast not so bad drink And we're back. Round two, Incredible Hulk. Ooh. I did about two to one on the hypnotic. So ounce and a half, Hennessy, three ounces of hypnotic. I've still got like an Oscar the Grouch green. It's not quite as green as I wanted to be. Yeah, my, I did a little more. Yeah, you guys too. Hypnotic and a little that green roses lime juice. Yeah, it made it a lighter green, but still like swamp green. It's not the neon I was hoping for.

Yeah, I want neon. Sure, but I'm still impressed by adding a brown thing is this. Like, it's, you know, it's kind of cuckoo. Something's happening. Yeah, something happened. Tim, did you also just did more hypnotic?

Yeah, I did two ounces of hypnotic, and then I was just kind of eyeball and I was splashing Hennessy in until it started to get green. So probably two to one. Okay, cool. Sips. Okay. Okay. I hate to say, I'm going to be a little sweet tooth boy and say this is better.

This tastes like jungle juice. You know, this is like a sweet drink. This is the one that got people regretting entire portions of their life. The roses lime makes it like sugary and feel sweety too. I bet that's a great addition. It's nice. It's nice. But two to one is the king for me. Yeah, for this feels like it's balanced better. You know what I don't like about the hypnotic is the shape.

of the bottle. It's got that, it's that type of wine bottle look that's like long and just goes, it's kind of almost like a low triangle look and goes flat to the, it doesn't work for me. It does not work for you. It doesn't work for you. It doesn't fit into your life. I noticed it. You have a certain

lifestyle and then this just isn't working for it. People don't understand. I have a very specific set of aesthetics that I adhere to and that I like. No, I I first noticed I was looking at the I was looking at the top and it was a silver

cork like cap I said silver and it's kind of plastic I was like I don't like that that's very late early 2000s to me it looks exactly the same yeah it feels like unchanged let me grab the bottle just for that sake it feels like an era where that I didn't like aesthetically anyway so it just reminds

me that you're talking about kind of the Mick Bling early 2000 sunset strip I'm telling yeah Mick Bling I'm talking about like, yeah, just like clothes people would have worn and the look on TRL, like that era of, yeah. Yeah, right. Yeah, that is very, very round a wine bottle. And then the font is like big and small and loopy.

Yeah. And it's like, it's like that the silver is not cool to me, man. Do you think it's fair to say this is very pickup artist? Yes. Yeah, yeah. extremely so for sure um it's it's funny to be it seems like when we were like we were like how does this not hit my desk where were we in like two 2001 to 2005 we were in college and um yeah even though we were probably excited about drinking we were not club kids and um we were

probably drinking beer cheap beer right and during that probably about it we were drinking uh natty natty lights and beast ices and like even though i was listening to rap i was listening to like Ray and Snoop and Beastie Boys, not, like, Southern rap artists. Yeah, you were drinking those brass monkeys and gin and juice. Yeah, there you go. Very good. I felt like... Good pulls.

So far from Sunset Strip, Mick Bling, or Club Life in the early 2000s, for me it was more like... I thought it was cool because I was into indie rock versus jam band Dave Mavis. Matthew stuff. You know, like, that's the battle raging in Ithaca. Yeah, yeah, like, is like, do you like fish or have you heard of the strokes? Yeah, you got to pick aside, man. And then like in the wide world of music, those are so similar compared to my God. Yeah. And like, and like when we take a step back, I can like both of them. And it's just very much like, like, like white boys of a certain exact age would even care about that. But like, in my mind, I'm like defying myself like, you know what? I don't. know that I even really like Guster as much as my brother likes Guster because, well, I think I actually might like the yeah, yeah, yes. Ooh. Nasty man. Oh, okay. What do you think of a drink? Final thoughts, Mike, do it.

This is an O-A for me in the sense that like if I'm out with people and I'm like, hey, you guys want to try this incredible Hulk drink and, you know, try to tell some of the facts. that Jeff had and may become the star of the bar, but yeah, this is an order again for me just out of curiosity to see like what other people would think.

You know what I mean? Yep. Like I would do it with a group rather than by myself. Like this wouldn't be a A barkeep, one incredible Hulk, please. I want to be the weirdo of the bar

drinking a pale green drink. I think it's an OA for me because it's like it just checks a lot of boxes like there's a great backstory and it's of a specific era that's fun to talk about

then there's the physical gimmick of the color changes and turns green and that's a fun thing to show people and then after all that it's like you've talked to your friends ear off about the backstory of the drink and then you've shown your friends

and they didn't really care but you were excited to show them then it takes it and tastes like a coniac sour, that's not bad at all. You know, like, there's really no, nothing, it's not lacking in any, it doesn't taste bad. It doesn't lack context or culture. You know, it's got, it's kind of has everything. Plus it gets you kind of knocker it up a little bit.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. I like the reputation. I like it being like a, there's like warning flags all over this drink. That's fun to me. Me too. I'm also, I'm surprised it's on the rocks from that era. you would think it would be in a martini glass, but I like having my clinky, cliny cubes to get the...

But I guess the only... Clinky little clankers. My only note, just call it Hulk. Not Incredible Hulk. I agree. The other names, Green-Eyed Monster, hip and hen. Get it?

Oh, that's cool. Hens and Hens and Hark. Shrock. Like Shrek. Like Shrek. Maybe like Shrek? Shrek. Shrek.

Shrek with is like, like, you know how like people say, uh, oh, what's something like smart online says smart, SMOT. Weird. It just kind of made it. I know small instead of small. Yeah, maybe that's what I'm thinking. But it just kind of gives it a like dumb, I don't know. Okay.
