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. Bye. And Tim Calpacus. What is up? Oh, and we're the sloppy boys LLC. Each equal partners. Yes, that's true.

LLC. The sloppy boys. more than ever. We each own 33.33 remainder. And we each talk 33% of the time. Yes. And I looked back over the numbers this whole year. That was my New Year's resolution this year. Was to only speak my 33%.

I hit it perfectly. You have something that can quantify all that? Well, I was looking at the waveforms, yeah. Hey, here's a question. Look at it this way. If you talk over 33%, you're losing money because you're only making that 33% from the LSU. I was going to talk to you guys about. about the distribution, actually.

You're burning calories faster. Then you have to buy one extra steak for the year. So I heard of a 37 steak. What if we did pay by percentage of talking, so we're all just trying to get shouting the whole time. It reminds us. This begins a volume game. Remember when Robin Williams used to drop into UCB to do improv

and everyone wanted to get to do a scene with them? So it was just like tagouts, tag out, tag tag tag tag tag. That's what I want our podcast to be like. But instead of Robin Williams, it's Billy D. Willis. No, Benjamin Franklin.

Ah. You know? Benjamin's. Oh, money. Ah, I see what you say. Because you get paid. Oh. Hmm.

Those flappy little green guys. Yeah. That's right. Oh, wait. I was going to say, oh, speaking of quantifying and all that stuff.

Sure. You guys are on Spotify still. Yep. But here's the thing, Mike, I'm glad you ask. Trying to get off in 2025.

And not. Not get off the way you're thinking. You've got very little time left to get off on 25. Trying to get off Spotify. But for, you just do that for 26. Yeah, maybe you say that.

Just have a stress-free 25th. No, but I was going to ask, have you guys gotten your raps yet? Have they done that wrap-up thing? See, that I don't do, no,

no, they haven't come yet, but also like I never post it because, yeah, I'm not going to do free advertising for them. Right, right, right. But it is a weird feeling to be a musician. And Tim doesn't post his W's,

like that. No, no. I've posted every L ever, though. Yes. Wow. But it's weird.

If you're a musician, it's, and you, but then you're also a subscriber. I'm like paying money to the very people that are screwing me. That sucks.

That sucks so bad. I got to get off there. But then again, where do I go? Apple? Marginally better for artists. It's marginally. Oh,

oh, you mean for paying out? Yeah, that, that is, you know, that ship is sales, I think.

But Spotify in particular, like they're politically. shitty as well. They're like mask off evil. As far as like AI scraping and like funding wars and stuff, right? Yeah. Like I didn't click on an article,

but I did see a headline that was like saying like they enabled genocide. So that might mean they donate to some politicians that I don't know about. Well, even more so than just every other streamer being generally not good for musicians. They are particularly bad. Well, come on over to Apple. They are paving the golden path to paradise. I don't know what they're doing.

over there. No, I mean, they're all corporations and they're shitty in their own way. Okay, so you're back off of corporate shit. I think around the, the holiday season here, it's like, enough with the advertising. You go, you go to Target and you walk around during Christmas too. That's when you, wait, so wait, I'm confused. When normally year round, you're sick of corporate shit. No, sometimes I'm with course. I'm not to like it. He's into it and then he kind of falls off the wagon. I like in the down seasons like the summertime because the corporations just aren't getting the love they need a certain minimum during the holidays they're doing great i like to think of the little person okay the general mass the general public the corner store i'm doing all my

shopping at the corner store at the corner store the cornerstone at the bodega oh yeah you guys for christmas are all getting packs of meats you're getting bologna for jecks that's a good stuff some halls cough drops you get some off-brand undershirts cough drops and undershirts that's all I wanted Mike I gotta tell you some I owe you an apology Thank you

I even need to know what it's about Hey first do we say that we're at Jeff's place Hey we're all together We're live at Jeff Casa Day Jeff Casa Day Jeff Let me say this is nice that This feels like a return to form

After all the touring And the Chris Fair And the hoopla Oh the fast life Oh yeah also today We'll get into it later But we're doing it It's kind of a return to form

type of a drink a classic cocktail. Here we are all together, not promoting some sort of tour. See, this is the sort of pod. I like getting back to basics a little bit. Not fully IBA shackles basics.

Fuck that. Fuck that. Never going back. But a drink that isn't a silly prank. Or we do it because it's a weird color or something like that. We've heard something on the internet about it being a drink from the 90s or. Now, I do like all of that stuff.

I do like it too. But in moderation. and I do think disproportionately this year maybe we did a lot of it. That's what I'm not saying back to basics. I'm saying return to four. This was sort of a 2025 was Rumspringer. Yeah. And now we tried a bunch of stuff we've, we, it wasn't for us. Isn't that what our horoscopes told us?

It made elastic impact too. I'm not done with Rumspringer, but no. You do you do have to be, have some sense of order. No, after this episode, I'm going to continue on with my hypnotic rumspringer. Well, Well, that was, we took a lot of, you throw shit at the wall. What's going on over there? Mike is having a issue with his microphone.

I need to, tighten up these fucking, okay. Mike Stand is good for the Mike man. If we didn't throw a lot of shit at the wall and try stuff, we would have never come upon the Incredible Hulk, which is part of my life now. A lot of the best episodes. We wouldn't have had, you know, doing the Incredible Hulk made it so much better

because we had done something like the grape ape that was brought to us by a live event. Yeah, I think it all mixes. in. It's all very interesting stuff if you pay attention. And look, the silly ones are great. You had the sidewalk slammer. That was a great episode. That was, was that this? No, that would have been a long time ago.

Okay. But that's like, but I'm just that's the one where I ended up on the back of a trailer. That's a deep part of the lore. And for those who have, those of the shows who bought the stickers, the one of Tim lying down is from that night. Oh yes. And then, hey, don't forget the lineup, which we're going to reenact live at Crystal Ballroom with Mitch Man.

That's going to be fucking great. Now that I know what the lineup entails, I'm, or like what, what but he means to do a lineup. I'm excited. I was a little nervous going into the lineup. Because you didn't know what it meant. Well, it means to... A pint of Guinness and a Yeager bomb.

No, a finite Guinness and a Yeager bomb and a Bud Light all in a row. And we're going to be doing it in Boston on December 28th. And as fast as you can, it's a speed game. Yes, it is a speed game. Now, when I said, Chug, you didn't think that implied as fast as you can? No, I mean, a nice slow.

We're going to be like, there with a stopwatch time that was the episode where we found out that tim was a chugger after all yeah Mitch couldn't believe it Tim you're a chugger he said it six times it feels like a sporting event doesn't it it's athleticism yeah we should get some jerseys made up but some of those some of those weird apps are great and they're gonna stay in the test of time but it's nice to get back to going into 2026 get some classics in there we're not gonna say what no but something you can hang your hat on Yeah, that'll be good. The hat hanger.

We're going to have a good wrap up to 2025, of course, at that show. Oh, then we're playing in New York City on the 30th. You know about this, Jeff Tim. You know about this. Oh, you mean the Mercury Lounge. Oh, yeah. I can already hear the cheer. You know what's a band show.

You know who used to play there at the Mercury Lounge. Julian and the other strokes. Yeah, I think that the Strokes actually played there last night. Yeah. Last night. They're going to play there again Someday Someday

Yes and as they get older Their skin is looking very reptilian Did you ever hear that? No, that's for us all What is it? Reptilia Reptilia Did you ever hear that thing about

There was a feud between Ryan Adams and Julian Casablancus And Julian said that Ryan was a heroin addict who like was given heroin to his friend and stuff Brian Adams who is no no Ryan Adams was yes I always get that confused um but then the Ryan Adams who not to say he's a bad person for being an addict but he is an all around shitty guy he's

the guy who um oh yeah with a Phoebe Bridgers wrote a song emotional motion sickness about him because he was shitty to her anyway um but I got it handed to Ryan Adams he fired back at Julian and said well it looks like Julian's addicted to lasagna. He'd gotten a little fat But it's a funny food to choose Like picturing a cool guy Like a cool New York guy With skinny jeans

Like eating a lot of lasagna Yeah Lanzania to me is like It comes out nice And then you put Try to get a fork through it And just everything shifts And slides

And now you got a whole plate full of lasagna What do you think that Jimmy? We went somewhere and they And somebody said Not to get the lasagna Oh yes Tom Sharpling told me Not to get the lasagna

Yeah At Little Tony's We went there after we had done his episode. Now, I'm not saying don't follow Tom Shropling's advice. Sure. He's a sage. But in this one case, I'm so happy I struck out on my own and learned for myself. Wow.

I loved that lasagna. Wow. It was a little wide mound. It was a mound of slippery little mound. You had to put on your bathing suit and get in there. Eat your way out. You order it and you're like, the waiter is like, okay. And, sir, whenever you're ready, there's a.

changing room you want to get in your bathing suit and put on your water wings? Oh, you're going to be diving into the lasagna. Cabloosh. Cablooing. Oh, the,

the apology that I owe you, Mike. From seven minutes, I guess. Infamously on this series, Slopi Boys podcast, early in the run, we were drinking some apparitifs and you called, you said that Campari was ashy.

Yes. And we laughed at you and it's been, you've been the laughing stock of the world ever since. But on that day, I'm recalling that me and Jeff were drinking name brand Kampari and you were drinking the Luxardo brand version of Kampari. And you're trying it now. Is that what's in your head? Jeff had some luxardo bitter. I'm drinking right now and I swear to God, there's there's something that I, it doesn't taste ashy to me, but I see

what you meant. It's, it's less, it's a weird thing. It's more of a like a mouth feel, a kind of thing. Yeah. It's a taste that also makes you feel a little, this is going to sound crazy, but a little dry too. I don't know. And there's nothing drier than ash. That's perfect. A dry liquid. Interesting.

Interesting. Well, thanks to Luxardo and Slophead Andy for hooking us up with some, what is it? Bitter Bianco. Yeah. Thanks, dude. We should use that

as any time somebody gives us something. Yeah, thanks, dude. I don't want to use that. Come on as a drop. I don't use that. All right. Something to think about. Meal and maybe could have

stitch that out and save it, save it. When he's editing the pod, that's what it sounds like. I think I took that from David Spade's stand-up special from 1998, where he's talking about, like, he's like, okay, that's going to. He's funny, man. Yeah, he's, it was good. We should have him on the pot. I know.

He keeps asking me to get on it. What do you say? I say, well, I got to go. I got to ask me another time. Oh, Michael. I don't say yes or no. Okay. folks, or not folks, you guys.

in collaboration with all those people mentioned in all those attacks. Those are all Booz News music creators coming together on a collab. I like that. I felt like the Wu-Tang Clan. It did. I also like the spooky Dracula background.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was really scary. Very possible they send that to me in Halloween season, and I didn't check the email. Hey, that's all right. You run the show. Now, if you have a boo's news theme, email it to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com, and if you so choose, and you can become friends with all those people that were in that theme song if you subscribe. And if you so choose. If you so choose, you can subscribe to our Patreon and become a member of our dance.

Discord and meet all those people and become friends, if you so. If you so, booze. Some people don't do Discord. They do Patreon. Patreon is easy to do. Everybody should do Patreon. Sure. But Discord, if that's not for you, that's fine.

You don't have to be friends with all these incredible people who are friends in real life and come to the shows and, like, hang out for real. You can also just go into the Discord and snoop around, take a quick peek. What's over here? Hey, what's going on here? Yeah, lurking all day and night. Um, okay, you ready for the booze news? Oh, yeah, uh-huh. You guys want to hear the latest TikTok trend that's like a fun party game that you play

with your, no, it's not a TikTok trend. I saw it on TikTok, but it's just a fun party game people are playing. Yeah, I love to hear about that tip-top trend. I would love to know about the tip-top trend for you and your friend. Around the holidays, you get the family all together in house, you sit around a big circle, you play buzz ball hot potato. Whoa! You go holding that potato.

I'm going to have to drunk, I bet. Yes. So, you know, little buzz balls, but then remember we talked about the big, big balls. I have buzz ball biggies. You get a buzz ball biggie. Hey, little buzz ball. Don't call me that anymore. You pass it around while music's playing here.

Now, Auntie, here, uh, onk, you know, and you're passing it around. And then the music stops and someone has to take a sip. And then they're out and the circle gets smaller. And then bib a bit all the way until Tim wins the day. Wait, well, hold on. Last person has got to chug it all. But same. Is it a fresh?

biggie ball each time? No. It looks like people were sharing their family, so they're putting their lips on the same thing and just doing one chug. Okay. Dangerous around holiday season, a lot of colds happening. Oh, yes. Yes. Not to mention the forbidden cold. We won't mention. Oh, Fef. FF. CoFFFF, hey. That sounds pretty good. I would do that with my LLC. Yeah. I don't mind busting open a buzz ball with you guys. What are we going to do for the LLC? party this year. That would be so funny if we were at like citywalk universal. We like rent out a

restaurant and it's just us and meelin. We can each bring a guest. And we're like, well, we each get 100 tokens for the arcade. Dave and Busters. Catered by Badger Bev's. And we spent way too much on this. We're all going under.

Meal, we need to do you take a pay cut please because we went way over on the tokens. Mike, do you have any booze news? Not particularly. I had something I wanted to share with you guys. This is of particular importance to the members of Sloppy Boys LLC. So you know when we started off this venture, the Sloppy Boys' jangly band.

That's how it all started. And Sloppy back then was in regards to our musicality. Yeah, still is. Particularly trying to maybe get ahead of the criticism. you call yourself the sloppy boys jangly band it's it's a fun thing yeah now yes fast forward to today the sloppy boys doesn't mean sloppy anymore now it means it's an entertainment mogul is that's that the word i'm looking for yeah we're the moguls yeah we're magnates magnates it's now sloppy means entertainment empire empire empire oh it means it's synonymous

with timeless integrity yes so you're kind of changing the meaning of the word Because through generations, we take on new meanings. Right. And for a long time, we were unchallenged. When we started as the sloppy boys and even starting the pod, it felt like if you Google sloppy boys, you're probably going to get us. Yeah, there was Noah Taylor's band that. We knocked them out, though. We knocked them out.

Nobody hears about him anymore. Sorry, bud. Back to, uh, middle. That's for you. Oh, yes. Yes. Back to the earth. If you go.

Down with that dashed they ring. So, times were good for a while. but then I noticed there's been an uptick in the usage of the word slop. Really? Yes. Have you not noticed it? No. Out there on the internet talking about slop

content. Oh yes, yes, yes. AI slop I've heard. Not just AI slop though, just like anything, here's what I looked up. Low quality mass produced content and products that prioritize volume, speed, and efficiency over substance, originality

and human craft. Now, how does that sit with you. Oh, I don't like that. After years of launching an empire? We sunk our lives into this word. Built on timeless integrity? I read a New York Times article about this where, and it's, it talked about lunch places that serve bowls, you know, like office lunches that are like protein bowls.

And it's like, it's all the same as every other office lunch you ever had. Yeah. Your chicken bowl. Yeah. so what should come across my feed this video of Lil Yadi we love Liljati he's basically a cousin of the sloppy boys LLC

he's a fellow alum of Sonic Ranch we covered let's start here on the blowout and he was a guest on my favorite podcast MD Foodie Boys oh my God and and uh hot ones right yes very funny they let them do boneless wings because he doesn't he only eats pizza normal Yaddy. We love Yadi. Come on, Yadi. Eat some real food. Yadi, yadi, yadi. Oh, I also edited his GQ 10 Essentials, fun fact.

Oh, man, we got to open for him. Or him. Or him. Us. Well, here I am. I'm watching him on the Shannon Sharp show, the Shee Shea Shea Show. And he's calling out Shannon Sharp, who's like 57 or 60 or something like that, for dating younger women. Okay. Oh. And they're kind of talking past each other. It's kind of funny because you can tell Shannon is excited to talk about this. And Lily Yottie's trying to actually like mentor him. a little bit even though Yadi's probably what 25 yeah so check out this video and we'll talk about it after like you man y'all get to some age and you still like them young you like yeah yeah yeah yeah you like the same age girls i like when you get to certain age i'm getting old but my eyesight still young right okay and with that you got you got to uphold a certain way because you can be old and sloppy you get you get one other right young and sloppy or old old in shape.

Exactly. You're going to get old in this shape. Women. No, no, no. It gets together. Exactly. I don't know. First of all, I like the yacht.

He's wearing a sweater and then two, like, wrapped around his neck. He's got three sweaters on. He's got a good look going. That's cozy max. Here he is trying to tell his elder, you know, you can't be moving sloppy. Yeah. You ever heard that phrase, moving sloppy? No.

It's just like being kind of messy. and it was like in dating and so in socially and like careless not mindful yes that guy's out there just dating young but it's funny that it feels like that's such a trail of wreckage in his past it's just so specific though because that I under that is understand that as a blanket term but we're talking about a 60 year old man dating 20 year old women is such a specific thing to me that it's like like you're being a little sloppy yeah but so it's Is this good that we're called the Sloppy Boys? This is what I think we've got our work cut out for us. Now the field is crowded with more traditional usages of the word of the word slop and sloppy. We need to make sure people know it's a good thing for us. And like, how does it feel for us to be out there called the sloppy boys in this environment? The slop heads.

And slop heads. Are you talking about renaming us? No. Taking it back. I feel like I don't like that association. but I think that here's how we correct the course. What if the three of us

start dating much older women you know? And then it's and it's like publicly like there's an outcry of how weird it is how old they are. Like it's like Anna Nicole Smith. Jeez. Oh like when she did that that Houston guy?

Yeah, she dated like an oil baron. Well, he was rich. Hmm. So a good business move. Hey, we do have that song, Smith, a little Miss Socialite. Right.

This could be. like old miss old lady social age yes old ladies yeah sloppy boys movie little old social guys the sloppy boys movie is us trying to marry old rich lady oh that's fun competing for the heart of an old rich lady this is very familiar the tour bus gets broken down and we we're stuck in some little town we have to make do is this not dirty rotten scoundrels it's kind of damn chico's torpays too so dirty instead of sloppy

scoundrels instead of boys. Sloppy rotten scoundrel Sopi rotten scoundrel Sopi rotten boys. Well, in our case we would really fall in love with her. Yeah. Each of us.

I suppose. And they with us. Woo. Love and memory. So there you have it, folks. The official statement from the sloppy boys LLC in response to all this

slop talk is what? We want to make a movie? Yeah, we want to make a movie. That gives us an idea for a movie. Yeah, that gave us an idea. for the movies, but we want everyone to know. Also, here's what I want to say.

Little Yadi, helping the podcast. Thanks, Yadi. I want to say to all of the big liquor brands listening to the show, when we named ourselves the sloppy boys, we were referring to our musical prowess on our instruments and stuff and the vibe of our band, not the fact that we are some sort of binge drinking fools. No, we're responsible. So you, let's say you are Diageo or Anheuser-Busch and you want to get.

Give us money for commercials. You can do it because we're just, we're not, we don't overdrinks. You don't mean good. Yeah, you don't have to be scared to invest or to advertise or to sponsor. You should feel good about it. You should be excited about it. Oh, what are you scared? In 2026, maybe you make your resolution.

Don't be scared. You make it so a way business move scared. You're not going to succeed if you live in fear. You don't operate out of a place of fear. You operate from a place of abundance. I like that. And joy. And fucking bruskeys.

A lot of bruskeys. A lot of bruskis. Do you guys remember when Cayman Jack malt beverages came knocking out of the door? And they offered a deal that was going to be we had to change the name of the show to Kamen Jack Presents. The sloppy boys,

we had to put Kamen Jack logo on our logo and we said yes. Then they listened to the show and said, no, never am I. They got cold feet. We'll do anything you want. No, we don't want to. We would be rich now.

It was like a 360 deal. it was going to be a lot of money. We should have done that. They said like, they should have done that. You put our name on your product. We'll put your name on the Cayman Jack. I've been putting stickers at gas stations when I see Cayman Jack.

I think they were going to give us a flavor. Do you imagine sloppy citrus? That must have just been like an exec was out of town for two weeks and like a younger assistant was making all the deals. And then he came back. No, no, no. We're not doing anything like this. In fact, we're not advertising at all.

We're going under. Yeah, that's why no one drinks this crap, you see? Sorry, Kaven Jack, we would have said your product was great, not crap, if you gave us the money. Well, that's it for booze news. Thanks, dude. Now that that's out of the way. Yeah, let's get into this thing. I'm ready to get into it.

Oh, the drink of the day. See. Yeah, man. All right. The drink of the day is the Rob Roy cocktail you've had. No. you've heard yeah yeah i've heard of the man oh you speak of rob roy aka robert mcgregor alias robert campbell the highland rogue himself the historic cattleman slash outlaw slash rebel folk hero slash scottish robin hood they call the scottish robin hood the scottish robin hood we should be the uh uh californian robin hood the los

Fulies Robin Hoods. You know, Rob Roy was once portrayed on Celluloid by Liam Neeson himself. Really? What was the film? Rob Roy, 1995. Yes. Now, you may be thinking, okay, Tim is going to tell us

when this drink was invented. We're probably going back to 1700s, Scotland. I hope not. Nope. Because we're going to go to 1800s, New York City. Oh, peep, peep, out of my way, Mac. Yes. For because that is when the Waldorf Hotel

and the Astoria Hotel built a little hallway to link each other up and became the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Wow. All it took was a little hallway. They called it Peacock Alley,

a little hallway, linked them up. Buggock. Peacock Alley. Now, this hotel would, of course, eventually be leveled to make room for Mike's beloved Empire State building. Does that thing go to NBC?

Oh. Stop! The peacock hallway? Stop that. He doesn't know. He was as a real question. He doesn't know. It got leveled.

because they built the Empire State building on that very plot of land. Sorry. And now, sure, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel relocated up to its current spot up on Park Avenue and would soon be acquired by Hotel Mogul, Conrad Hilton. And yes, his great-granddaughter would grow up to be a little bit too promiscuous for my taste.

But back to that original location. Opinions not shared by the rest of the LLC and continue. The original location, was owned by the famed Mrs. Aster. And in 1894... Ari Aster's mom? Stop that. In 1894, there was a new operetta opening at the Herald Square Theater.

And that show was called Rob Roy, about the Highland Rogue himself. To celebrate the show's premiere, a bartender at the Waldover story, said, hey, I'm going to invent a drink. How about this? It's Scottish thing in New York. This Manhattan is all the rage invented only 15 years ago. here. What if I make a Manhattan but instead of rye, I use scotch. It's perfect for

the play. It's perfect for the pod. So he does that. It's a hit. It has remained a classic cocktail to this very day. And my dad, this very day is a time when I'm happy to report, Paris Hilton is happily married with two beautiful

children. Really? To who? Her husband. So she's changed her ways. She's changed her ways. She's still buying up those stupid ape or those board ape NFTs. Did she? Is she the one that like bought the famous ape? She, uh, she had like there's a bunch clip of her and Fallon talking about. The NFTs.

So when I picture the NFT ape though, is it that's something that a lot of people can own? Yeah, there's all different kinds. Now's not the time for us to figure out. It's come and gone. Thank God, speaking of slop. Damn. So I thought a that, that, Oh, yeah, let's not get into. Here's the recipe from liquor.com. Two ounces, scotch. Three quarters of an ounce, sweet red vermouth.

Ooh. Three dashes Angostura bitters. Garnish brandied cherries. Here's the method. Add the scotch, sweet vermouth, and bitters into a mixing glass with ice, and stir until well chilled. Strain into a chilled Niconora or cocktail glass garnish with speared branded cherries. Ooh, we got all that stuff

That's good No ice in this one This is gonna be like an old Timey drink Oh, that sucks for me I got a feeling You're gonna still like it Now we got our special

Lixardo Brandied Marasino cherries Can we get to break those open Brand new? Wonderful And now did you get the stuff today Jeff? I got the stuff

Did you get a brand new Red vermouth? No, I pulled a dusty bottle from the back of the cabinet it down with it on Wally Pratt but I did get a brand new bottle of Dewars

the first drink that made me gag Randy Maxwell used to have Dewers in the freezer and I fucking hated it now to me doers is the the Scotch that is the Swingers one he orders it in Swingers get out of here

I got Doors because Doors rocks it originates around the same time as this drink in New York City I am told I was like what kind of scotch do I get and some people said J.B. Some people said... I love that bottle of J.B.

Yes, me too. It's in The Thing. And it's in... Yes. Oh, I'm thinking of the thing. You know, in Goodfellas, there's Cuddy Sark. Continue. And Cuddy Sark was the other one.

They're both milder and very mixable. Somebody was saying online. Cuddy Sark is a cool name. Cuddy Sark. Cuddy Sark. I feel like Cuddy Sark is a Robert Burns poem. Then he's like, knock it off. Burns.

Yes, you're right. Like, Cuddy. Hey, Cuddy Sark, my boy. Cutty Sark, give me another. Hey, I said, hey, I'm in the three of us. Cutty Sark and go make this drink, huh? I like that. Hey.

I like that. All right, folks, we're going to go make up these Rob Roy's. And when we come back, more of the sloppy boys. He-hoo. If I ever meet Tom Collins, I'll kiss them on the lips. It squeezes little hips. Do some twirls and tips. Hold them in my crimps

To thank them for the ships Because they got me Oh yeah, they got me And we're back Three beautiful Rob Roys in Hand I chilled the coops and everything Yeah That looks really nice

These look great Jeff The cool The chilled coop comes standard At Hanford's place That's not a move you'll see Around here too often Well you know these days You know after the

Well let's take some sips I'll fill you in that one That's gonna be a long one Here we go. Mm. Mm. Okay. Ooh.

Jeff, this is a, this looks, this is a good looking drink. This is a classic. You made a good looking drink. This is going back to what. You took a sip of the drink and then you said it's a good looking drink. Well, it affects the way I like sip a drink. You know, if it, if something's in like a plastic cup, I'm just like, eh, this is probably whatever.

And you kind of, your brain starts to feel like it's going to be cheap. You're swayed by the site. This, yeah. Yeah, no. This looks like a classic, uh, 18-dollar drink. This is not hastily made. Slop. Mm-hmm.

This is not mass-produced hastily made. This is good craftsmanship. Yeah. Yeah. Now, oh, that's hair is good, too. So basically we're having a Scotch Manhattan and the Manhattan was a divisive drink on the pod. If you guys remember, yes. We did it on the show once and you guys both hated it.

And I was, even I was. was like, I'm not so into this. Then I grew to love them over time in my personal life. Then we did the Manhattan. Just keep that off the pot, too. Mealing cut that. Then we redid, we did Manhattan revisited in New York City at the Gramercy Theater. And we all said we liked it.

Yes. Because I think we had new, new rouge. Yes. And I believe that that first time, not only am I saying that Jeff today has that noily Pratt stuff. Tim, it looks good. The drink looks good. Jeff, I believe this is the very same bottle.

Yes. So now something that everyone knows, vermouth, you should maybe put it in your fridge after you open it and have it there for three months, max. Jeff has had this un-refrigerated for four years. In the dark. Oh, wow.

Four years, right. A cool dry place. That's the first time we did this, didn't we? Yeah, this is the very first Wally Pratt I ever got for the pod. So, well, that leads me to the reason I was talking about the sight of it first because that leads me to the drink feels like it's got the, that something funky in it. That old shit. Well, dusty old sweet red.

So your, your palate has to do some, uh, a little bit of gymnastics here. It's like an obstacle course to try to taste the scotch is also what's bringing something new to the table. I'm getting, you're getting scotch. That's the only other thing in there. I'm getting lots of scotch. but it's just funny that when it comes to the vermouth, I have to hit pause and say,

imagine better, better Verminth. It's tough with, boy, it's tough. Fast forward through it. Isn't it funny how you can, when you listen to a song or something,

you can key in on like the bass or the kick drum or whatever? Well, the rhythm section, yeah, that's what we're so into. But then you can just listen to the whole thing. It's tough for me anyway with a, with a taste to pull something out.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Well, in a good, well-balanced drink, you can't. Mm-hmm. But you got a couple of years of cocktail podcasting under your belt. Give it a shot. I'm doing it. I can imagine it.

I have just talking about how the human brain works in mysterious ways. Mike, having had five years of this podcast under your belt, what cocktail thing do you think that you have applied most to your life? Ooh. because I'll say celebrity bartender Jack Shram early on taught us to use a lot of ice more ice than you think you need

and I feel like especially he meant it in every possible way like even when you're just shaking and mixing like a drink like this but I would say when I have a drink on the rocks I see a lot of people in their homes or like on Instagram posting it like a big pint glass with like three moon shaped cubes

at the top and I'm like I don't want any like that looks bad to me you know what it used to be it used to offend my uh like uh my depression era brain to see somebody make a cocktail and like fill a pint glass or fill a a a collins glass with ice because i'd be like no that's space for the drink right you know that's that's like a thrifty you know thinking on my part but now i know you do that ice is the first ingredient you'll get better cocktails I'd say the thing Jeff just mentioned

about putting the glasses in having them ready in the freezer You've taken that and ran with it And I think I think that The thing I've learned

Most from this podcast Is about the aesthetics of a drink Or like the Having the thing in the freezer Just having the The whole experience

The extra step stuff Yeah Which which You know Sometimes if I don't have A garnish or something For the drink It's always

If I do have the garnish It's always Add makes it look Just a little better And Sets it off A little sweeter I think with the cold glass thing, especially when you're having a martini, you're just selling cold there.

That's what it's all about. Yeah. So if the glass isn't cold, like you're immediately losing so much of that coldness you just were shaking to a get. And then also, you put a room temperature all of in there. You fucked it up, you know? Oh, yeah. This stuff must be cold. It must be cold stuff.

It must be cold stuff. That's good from Jack Schram. Also, he advised when you build a drink in your shaker or whatever. do your least precious ingredients first because if you start fucking up you don't want to you don't want to toss out good liquor you want to toss oj not liquor exactly right um i think my lesson has been and i've taken this in cooking too is uh i've said this before balancing if something is too sweet don't uh dilute it or if if there's a taste you don't like don't add a bunch of club soda which was what i did for the first 20 years of my life now you're just creating more volume of

that taste you don't like you want to counteract it with some bitter with some sour balance it out my balance it out with very little volume you can make quite a change and it's true in cooking as well I uh oh one thing I learned too in this damn podcast of the we've been loving when you break out like when you use mint and stuff which we don't use often but that idea of muddling is just a few taps or just clap the mint it's not like pound everything out and that kind of goes with cooking too. You don't need to like squeeze everything out. It's good

sometimes to leave it in there. It's hard to not pulverize it. It's fun. Yeah, yeah, it is fun. But hey, Tim, I'll take you to a adult rec room for that. I would love that. To an adult wreck room? Jeff, you stay here, me and Mike are heading out to the range cage. Okay. That's what I meant to say, rage cage.

It makes me, I know if I had a I'm going to just say professionally made, but something made in a Excuse me. A bar right now that was had up-to-date Nowali Pratt. I wouldn't, I'd be enjoying this. Each, each sip is like a, rather than a, I think this Pratt is a, is a, a low-quality, bad vermouth to begin with, and then it's been unrefrigerated. And then it was aged five years.

Tim, I can't, I can't agree more, man. But also, like, the rouge, the red vermouth is already kind of strange. even if it's the top shirt I like the one that's called like Dolin the one that's like Carapaccio or that one The one that's like It's got a busy little label

And it's called like Condorini Ooh but try that Luxardo Huh Yeah that's good Chiaria is the whole drink You know it'll be good a little Luxardo juice

Oh a Zwaster Luxardo Juxto Juxt Juxt Juxte Jwas de Lux How about that beard coming in there, Jeff? Thanks, man.

What are you going to do? This is all the hair that I was able to accrue. This is the max. What do you mean? If it grows longer, it falls off? No, no, no. This is all I could gather in about a month's time. That's pretty good.

Before we hit the road, I meant to shave. And then once I hit the road, I was like, well, maybe I'll join the guys in, uh, having three mustaches. But I never trimmed it at all. Because you can't. You trim the neck. you can't go yeah i did i did do that um because you start to look a little a bit weird yeah but you can't grow out just the mustache part i feel like you got to kind of go full beard and that would

be embarrassing to from day one just be growing a mustache looks terrible um so i don't know i think i will probably try the mustache maybe just for this string shows there if you shaved now i think you would but it's it's funny how long it takes and it does just look like scruff like i'm trying to i'm trying Just a picture if I like, if you didn't have the, if you didn't have the beard. You're right. It's tough because it's blonde, too. It's blonde. We would just get used to it.

You'd get used to it. It's like the Larry Bird mustache. Yeah. And you saw how he played. I didn't even know that existed. You know where he's from? A place called French lick. Oh.

Massachusetts. Indiana, I think. Damn. French lick. I think major league athletes should have to be from the cities that they play in. That would be really cool to see, like, the New York Rangers are just made up of people who live in New York State. And it's like, yeah, well, we got... We're growing big here.

You would have an unfair advantage if your town has, you know, millions and millions of people in it versus, you know. Oh, yeah. I remember they made that point in basketball, and that was the first time I realized, like, oh, yeah, I guess they don't. They allow teams to trade players, but that's been since the dawn of time. Like, Babe Ruth got traded from the, like, Yankees to the Red Sox. You sure did, man. Hell yeah. Okay, now, I looked it up.

The brand of Vermuth is Carpano Antica. I like that. That's the, I think is just that not too expensive normal brand that's delicious. And Dolan's good. Come on, Dolan. Yeah, Dolin. Doreno. Speaking of internet searches, I, listen to this funny thing that I came across just now, which was.

Oh, it is a Nyan cat, is it? What? Nien cat. Nien cat. What's that? Neon? Oh, it's like a cat

with a body of a toast. Oh, right. Yeah. It's early brain rot, Tim. Yes. It's random. That's funny. Actually,

this came up. I feel like I just saw neon cat. The song was like, no, no, num, damn, no,

no, no. No, I was not going to talk about this. I was going to talk about the film Rob Roy. Yes. Ninety-five. Have you guys seen it?

No. I mean, all my life as a kid that looks boring as shit to me. It's just like a dude with long hair and like a tunic. It looks like a particular 90s movie that like at our age would be like

oh man, not this but I do like the turtle. I think that's just bad marketing because I saw the movie. It's harsh. Like harsh shit happens to Rob Roy and it's like a revenge tale. Really? It looks braveheartish to me just see this is what I was getting at. I was like wait a second I haven't thought of Rob Roy in forever. I did

see it when I was a kid but I was like fucking And Rob Roy is about a Scottish guy who like stands up to British rule. And he's like, he's like fighting back. He's a, he's a rebel guy who's standing up to the Brits. He's a rebel with a cause. His heart is brave. Okay, go on.

And I was thinking, uh, that's very brave heart. And I was like, oh, I wonder is it like, they greenlit Rob Roy because Braveheart had done well or whatever or I was like, or maybe it's the other way around. or just whatever. And what's with the alliteration? William Wallace, Rob Roy. Yeah, knock it off. Braveheart.

Peter Parker. God damn. Damn. No, so Peter Parker feels like different genre to me. Bruce Wayne, Batman. Okay, so here's the kicker. Listen to their release dates. Rob Roy, Braveheart, the two same films.

Yeah. both came out in May 1995. What the fuck? We have ourselves an Armageddon Deep Impact situation. We have ourselves a Bugs Life

Ants situation, a Truman Capote in cold blood or but anyway I saw that then I was like oh I bet this is one of these things and then I looked at

the Rob Roy Wikipedia page does not mention Braveheart the Braveheart Wikipedia page does not mention Rob Roy. Nobody on like I came upon. I feel like it was brave heart of true story William Walls was a guy. There's similarly

they're both real guys that have both sort of become folklore like overblown a little bit by the movies but they both are like revenge tales with the wives and stuff it's it's very similar but I feel like it's like we should make another you know how we made

Coolidge the orange cat and we made him a success just noticing a pattern that people like that maybe there's room for a third A third, a literary of names Scottish guy. We went, we looked at the numbers and, uh, you know,

uh, Liam. Brogan Bailey, sure you're gonna give it to him. Brogan Bailey for the wind. Sloppy Boys released a movie called Brogan Bailey. Just we thought. Who plays broken Bailey? Uh, Tim?

Yeah. Brogan Bailey. I mean, look, it works for those plays broken belly. Tim. He ever plays the wife and Jeff plays the king, I guess. Now, they both did well. A Brave Art, obviously, huge hit. Rob Roy had a much smaller budget, but made back, like, double the money they spent.

And you said that was Liam Neeson? Yes. Liam Neesons. Liam's Neeson. Give me back Liam's Neeson. You guys remember when we went on tour and we met all kinds of wonderful slopheads at the merch tables after our shows? Yeah, I think about it all the time. Oh, yeah, Gordnight Columbus.

Gorni. It was a true success. It was a tumult. oh it's because that's why it was like that you found that bag yeah one dollar bag a twisted gorge folks subscribe to the fucking I remember you were going on on an errand

and we were like all right man get your bag we didn't know what we had Is that what everyone always means when they say that Okay so I was talking to somebody And I apologize listener You're listening to this right now and I can't remember who you were but you got to get you got to really Just sorry Tim this is the listener

You got to hit us with those names clear, folks. You got to really say your name clearly. That was the problem that was bristle was mush mouths. And folks, there's only one chance to make a first impression. Don't lose it. Step up and say, Beverly Brivers. Beverly Briss. Look us in the eyes, shake our hand, and grab it tight and say, my name's Benjamin Bailey.

Brogan Bailey's back. Somebody pointed out a cool thing to me. They said the whole point of Coolidge, the cat that we introduce is we said, Garfield is an orange cat named after an old guy who was a president. Heathcliff. Heathcliff is an old guy who's an Emily Bronte character, right? Hobbs. Philosopher.

Yes. Somebody came up to me at the t-shirt table and said, Chester Cheeto. What? They whispered it. Chester A. Arthur was a president. And Chester Cheetah was orange. Guys, this is like chair company.

This is like chair company. Shit. Chair company is great. Are you caught up? I'm not I'm not cut up I'm caught up it's good I'm caught up it's good I think I'm caught up fuck what about Tigger

what's the what's the entomology of Tigger Tiger obviously but I wonder if he's like based on like William H Tigger he was a senator he was a president he was vice president to

the cat oh dear well Well, I'm going to steer it back to the drink for once. Okay, but admit that's two interesting facts. They'll braveheart. Those are very interesting. And the Cicito thing, both.

Tim, you're on to something. I'm a fact finder. What a sleuth. Fact finder or fat finder? That's interesting. I should have said that. I like it. This is our return to form episode.

So we had just had some good banter. I wanted to point out that that was good. Well, now I want to bring it back to just the, the dry information of what would you change about the drink I would have an entirely different vermouth

this sucks what the fuck Tim you're a guest in my house yeah well shit Jeff that's the issue I should not be in late to know it's a five year old

drink and be like hey this was Zoom maybe one thing I bring you into my old I share my old removed with you Jeff I was just

the bathroom and it back float and my face is covered and shit right this is why I didn't do it It's very unpleasant on my face. And you're the guest to my own.

You texted me. Tim, do you have the stuff for this drink or should I go get? And I said, you should go get. You have the sloppy boys LLC card on you. You could have bought some of the most. I know, but you should say it's depression era. I'm frugal. I was like, well, I have that rouge.

It's way in the back. It's behind all the, behind all this dust. I can get to that rouge. I'll come get that when I have energy. I'll go get the fresh stuff now and then when I come back I'll dig into the cabinet What I have energy

The amount of The doctor's visits You're going to have to go to For that dusty lung Is going to far exceed What you would have paid for For my colon Yes

No wait a minute Far exceed what you paid for For this Oh I thought you were referring To my doctor's visit To my colonoscopies No no I've pushed that way out of my memory That's buying the paywall folks

You can't hear that You can't hear that You know what else is behind the paywall. We did an episode recently about Cozy Max and Jeff. And you, you've got a nice Coz happening here. Here. Here you put together because you've got these nice lights. Thanks, man. These low lights. These are called Govies. They're good. Floor lamps. They do the floor lamps. On that episode, I said, I was like, I don't like to curl up on the couch with my feeties on the couch and have a little blankie. And you guys are like, no one says they, no one would, no guy would say they do that. Look at Jeff right now. Cozy to curled up feeties on the couch, socks. touching a blankie. Yeah, I don't say Feeties and Blanky, but I am doing that. I think the distinction we made was, and folks, we're not going to get into it too much because you got to go behind the paywall. I think what we sort of landed on was like the featsies up and the cozies and the blankies is more like, for me anyway, it's that time for that and I'm doing this and do that.

Right. I think anyone can just fall into the cozy. Organically. Organically, which is to say it's subconscious. Hey, fall into the cozy. Yeah. But I don't think. if you're going, oh, I got my blanket ready. That's something different that I don't think we've done. Yeah, no, we don't do that. So I'm the opposite, because I don't sit like that, but I do say, ooh, my featsies. You got your shoes off, you're cross-legged.

You look comfortable to me. My shoes are, yeah, but I'm cool. You know why I took my shoes off? Breezy. Breezy. He's hot. When I walked in, I was hot. Then I took my shoes off. Now I cooled down. Well, you're hot because we're cooking up something for the blowout.

Folks, you heard it this week on Wednesday. Holiday ham. I can smell. It makes holiday ham. Holiday ham. Mama's in the kitchen. And you guys don't know this now. I'll reveal it.

There's a side. I was hoping. I knew there was going to be a little something going on. But it's not a vegetable. Not a traditional vegetable. It is a vegetable. I don't even want to guess. Ogrot and potatoes.

Oh, Jefferson. This is great. This is good for me. Here's what I want to do my second round, though. I am going to do everything but the Nuali Prat. And I'm going to do a... So you're drinking. Scotch.

Scotch with a little bitters in it. Scotch bitters and, let's be honest, Elixardo is getting in there. And Luxardo, uh, syrup. Just the serp. Just a, a little dash. Just a little. I'll do the very same.

Me? Double Nuali Pratt. You have to drink all of ours. I like it. I actually like how it tastes. I like rancid food. I wish we had a bottle that was older. All right, folks.

We're going to come back with round two after these messages. What did we do? I'll go last on what we did because mine is a mess. Jeff, you gave me some chilled scotch, basically, and I dripped some. I did Angus. I put some Angusir in yours. Maybe you added more.

Oh, I added a little more, but then I dripped a lot of luxardo cherry juice. Ooh, nice. I did double Noali Pratt. Ooh. And how much of the same amount of booze? Yep. It's fine, you know. It's not great.

I can't defend my actions. I can't either, Jeff I was making mine in glass and you know I had the I did exactly the opposite of what we were just talking about I put the expensive stuff in first then added the nice cherry and the nice luxardo drippy syrup

and then it was time to add just three dashes of bitters you don't want to do too many bitters and I got that big bottle of Angostura batter Angus stir bitters and I have one of those at home you just pop the cap and it blip blip Three, easy come out.

But he's got no plastic flicker on top of his bitters because of the Trinidad sour. Tim, that's what I wish you had said to me 10 minutes ago. I turned this thing upside down and just splashed in. So basically I've got. Oh, that is pitch black. It's bitters. It's bitters. It's bizes.

And it just tastes like Angistore bitters with a little bit of. I can't believe you can just drink that. It's not bad. Jeez. Give it a little taste there. get a little taste. Just a little sipsky. Because remember the, the Trinidad sour is a lot of angstora. But like I said

before, it's balanced. It's got it's got syrup in it. But this with just a little bit of the duress. Gives it a little something. It's doable. I would never make this again. What's saving your life there is the cherry juice balancing out that bitter. For sure.

I was recently on the doughboys double and Emma told me that, because I was talking about how I like D.J. Stiefs and I was talking about Frenet bronca and stuff like that and she said if you eat a big meal you got an upset stomach and like the best thing is is angostura bitters and i did that a thanksgiving i said oh for real too much squash and i and i just went into a shot i shouldn't have ate that gorge corn for eating tim those it was for gourd i took a shot glass and half filled it up with

bitters five minutes later healed i mean i always thought fernet was the cure all also i just like i prefer the taste of Phrenet than shaking a Angister a bitters thing into my mouth. And you like it better than Underberg as well. Yes, but I was going to say, it reminds me of Underberg. That was a fun fucking show. Where was that where we, uh, Black Circle brewing in Indianapolis? Yes, man. I had I had like four things of Underberg. I, I think I had two of them, but more were coming up. I said,

new, thank you. I remember and I took yours. That's why I got the number four. Yo, y, y, yoy. Oh, you know what I need to do? Remember that a Bar in New York in Manhattan that's right around the corner of please not please don't tell what's what's the other word death and co yeah and I think we've been there I think it's just called tomorrow or something like that I know I know the place you're talking about I need to go back there because I've been there before but it was years ago so I don't I have more of appreciate I will have an appreciation we that's me talking to the bartenders I will have an appreciation or whatever the fuck you do

there that's a whatever I'm like what is this Um, no, so I, this is a weird thing about life. That was July, 20, what are you guys doing over there? Nothing. Slapping hands. That was July 2021. And we walked into a bar and I was like, this doesn't pertain to me. And then now I'm like, there's nothing I would rather do than go into an Amaro bar.

A freaky Amaro bar. Yeah. Well, maybe we'll do that when we're in New York City. You want all those herbal liqueurs. Ooh. Urban. Quite herbal indeed. Steve Erbil.

Versus. Well, let's do our final thoughts. Tim, kick us off, if you would please. Well, there's a lot of tastes here on the pod here on the show. You know, I've thought a lot about tastes and the subjectivity. Because we recently on the show, I mean, many times, but especially recently we came down hard on like, Mescal and hops and said. Paul Mescal. we said these are dumb tastes and only posers with waxy mustaches pretend to like them

right i have i still hold standby but i do i do think about like just it is a weird thing that we all have different tongues it's strange that the sloppy boys would like for net but not like mescal you know i don't understand why those are just the cards i was dealt by god right so when it comes to Scotch Scotch is a if I were to rank all the types of whiskey Yeah you haven't

You haven't done that yet Every year I say I'm gonna get around to it You know you do it live on pod Damn I would put bourbon up top of these days It's Canadian blended whiskey I love Crown Royal That's number one So that's Seagram 7 as well is it not

Yes that's Seagram 7 as well What's J.B or no Canadian club Seagrams is a Canadian camera company, but seven is their American blended whiskey. Oh. Oh, Timmy. Oh, Tim, you've simply unraveled me. And then

down to Rye and then down to Irish whiskey. These are all still good. But then I put scotch at the bottom for me, but then Jameson, I would put Irish over rye for me, but keep going. Yeah, those are kind of interchangeable on my end, and you could probably fool me in a taste test. I don't need that. I don't need that seed.

What's the rye seed? Lincee, the, what's it called, though? It's not it's rye pumpernickel rye seed is it just called rye seed probably locks and pumbernacle probably oh no but what i was going to say like how funny that tim wonderful guy ranks five things put scotch at the bottom but then scotch is the one that people in know dig into most yes yes sure i went to my buddy uh adam in adam hoffman one of my oldest friends he lives not far from you mike every once in a while i'll sneak away hang out with him no in New York

yeah has that happened before once or twice don't you ever just tell me when you're in the middle of the I don't care I think Anfer fell asleep I'm gonna get

Jeff we have an agreement where you can go out as long as you tell me but uh good lord my buddy out of he sat me down he's just like I'm into scotches

I'm gonna give you the scotch tour and he put him that's fun and he put a map down and then was given me like shot glasses of like this is from here you'll notice it tastes like this

this is from here you'll notice it tastes like this And it's because it's by the coast and all this other crazy stuff. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. I have a cocktail podcast. And he was like, yeah, yeah. But this is by the coast.

So it tastes like this. He only cares about scotch. Yeah, yeah. He could give a flying fuck about cocktails. Mollie Pratt. But he really does, like if he went out, it's either scotch or a beer or like. He likes scotches and beers.

Yeah, yeah. He's done the deep dive. Wow. But here I am trying to tell him about Appleton Estate. Right. He's like the good rum. He doesn't lie here. Tiki T.

He could give a fuck. He's just done the talk. just in that one lane. But then I think it's funny is I think all of us, we have liquors we like, but I would say we're cocktail guys more than anything. And it's funny that cocktails only came out, like if you're just into love

a liquor, you don't need a cocktail. I'm into hospitality. I'm into surroundings of substance. You remind me of Dale DeGroff. Me and Dale, we talk about that. We talked about that once. Here's the issue. I'm getting tipsier than usual because I didn't eat dinner because Jeff's making

ham for dinner. Yeah, I'm a little tipsy myself here. As far as my, did you say order again, Tim, or? Oh, that was a long-winded way to say, is there a place for Scotch in my life? A tongue that doesn't get excited by Scotch, would I choose it? And when I'm drinking this drink, and I'm doing the, the mental math of what it would taste like with better vermouth, I do think, maybe call it appointment only, but I do think that there are moments in my life where I might be in the mood for Scotch on. a particular sorry Tim

the hell's angels is just pulling out it's crazy what's going on down there Jeff

somebody's got a hot rod I think that's Andy Samberg I think on a on a misty foggy afternoon or evening

if I'm at a pub I could see myself wanting some and I could see myself ordering some because I'm never I'm never

I'm never going to it's a two dinger we didn't really hear the ding day it's a two dinger I'm never going to have fancy scotch in my home, and I will have entry-level scotch that I could make a Rob Roy with.

I got a feeling in five years' time, you're going to be in a scotch. Well, July 2001, I didn't care about tomorrow, and now it's my favorite thing. So, yeah, four and a half years. Yes, yes, yes. Scotch for me is not really my thing. Like I said, bad experience with doers early on, set me on the wrong foot. I said you done a round bath in life I was just

Bad kid No Get this away for me Well no Although When we started making TV money The TV money Went away eventually
