Yo.
Shiggy is Furned.
All right.
Wow.
A dab.
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.
Yo.
And Tim Kalpacchis.
What is up?
The applause levels are too high.
Our microphones can't handle.
My microphone's about to first off to the side.
It's like Ghostbusters crossing the streams.
Whoa.
Hey.
A little hot, a little heat.
A little heat up here.
Hey, how about my geek shit reference
When the Ghostbusters cross the streams
That's not geek shit
That just means you're an 80s kid
Oh shit, for a second
I thought I was at Comic-Con
Don't encourage them folks
Detroit Comic-Con
We can say Detroit, I know we're in Furndale
But this is Detroit
Oh yeah
As far as I'm concerned
We brought out the Furndale Fern
Yeah
Hold on I think you wanted to say something
You guys suck
Oh hey what
Wait us or the audience
You guys
Oh you
Well I think he sucks
Yeah he sucks
He sucks
Is this Mike and Jeff
Is it your first time in Detroit?
No it's not my first time in Detroit
But
It's the first time we've played here
This first time I'm a whole first timer
Damn
Yeah
How are you finding out
What's the big thing
Go see the museum or what
Yeah
Yeah
Get some burners at the museum.
Oh, yeah, right?
You joke, but I actually love them.
Have you been to the car museum, that automotive museum?
Ford?
Henry Ford.
It's great.
Like, I think I went there not expecting to be blown away, but they have, like, the car that
JFK was shot at.
Wow.
Did you know JFK was shot?
I knew he was shot.
If they only had the guy who got him.
That would be impressive.
Get the guy who got him.
Finally, put that one to rest.
He was a Ponzi.
He was a Fonzie?
That place should also have the fastest horse
just as a comparison.
It'd be like,
the car took over from this horse.
It starts at the slowest car
and the fastest horse. This is the last
horse before. This horse was defeated by
our cars. We have
his bones out to
remember him.
You can buy some of the horse's bones on the way home.
Do you guys
like the gift shop on the way?
You can buy some glue and a bone.
Like, well, won't you eventually run
out? No, because no one's buying
them. We'll have them for a long time. Are you guys
car guys? I'm not really a car guy
but I don't own a car, but
I like cars, I think.
You know what I mean? I think I
if I'm driving and I kind of
rev it up, I feel kind of pretty cool.
That doesn't count as being a car guy.
No.
There's so, I recently went down. That's just one small example.
I accidentally kicked open a whole
YouTube rabbit hole like how that
happens. Sometimes you're like, well, I didn't realize there's a million
video, but like guys like us talking about cars and like comparing like, oh, the new this and the new
that.
Oh, donut media.
Exactly.
What used to be known as donut media.
Now speed.
Yeah, three E's.
So I was watching some of these viral videos and, uh, you would not hold a candle if you were
just saying, yeah, when I drive the rental minivan.
I get excited.
Well, that would be my, that would be my, that would be my thesis that I have supporting
argument.
I enjoy, I enjoy driving.
When I'm driving, I enjoy it.
Well, you're a motorist.
I'm a motorist.
I'm like a motorhead lemmy.
I did think I was a car guy
when I left Fast and the Furious One
in high school.
I sort of left and I was like,
I'm like one of these guys.
I love that.
In my high school,
guys were getting their cars
tricked out to be a,
but it was just like,
you know,
seeing a Toyota Corolla
tricked out is so sad.
Yeah, like,
now I have little purple lights
under my pedals.
I used to like the kids
who would bring like
the Rims magazines to school.
like, I want to get this and this.
You're probably not going to get any of these.
You work at you fry
hot dogs.
But it's fun to...
That's a New Jersey thing.
Well, maybe this guy was from New Jersey.
This took place in New Jersey.
This story he's telling me.
I'm a car guy of local interest.
My car is a 2002 Thunderbird
made by Ford.
And when I'm done driving
and I'm going to bring it to the museum and say,
I got your latest exhibit, bitch.
Well, with that attitude, we're not putting your car in here.
The 2002, that's a fun one because it's like, it's cute.
It looks like Lightning McQueen kind of.
Yeah.
This was like a Ford Thunderbird was a cool classic car that went away for a few decades and then in 2002.
Like around the time.
They brought it back VW Beetle style.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
That and what was the...
The PT Cruiser.
P.T. Cruiser.
Oh man, my buddy's dad at a PT Cruiser.
Oh, no, no.
Plymouth Prouler?
Yes, a Plymouth Prouler.
Yeah.
The PT Cruiser was like throwing back to like the 30s or something.
Yeah, like a mobster's cars.
They all have that same.
They're all in that era.
They were all bubbly.
We should talk to that aestheticist that we know who taught us about McBlink.
Because think about my laptop in the era was a like a Mackey.
IKintosh I book that was also like bubbly.
Translucent? Or no? Yeah.
Yeah. Well, my IMac,
my desktop IMac was translucent at home.
But then everything was bubbly. Why in 2000 on
do they love the bubbles? That's why we got to talk to you.
And this was before... This was even before the
bubble butts were everywhere. Right, right.
Bubble, bubble, bubble. Computers.
Our bubbles went from computers and cars to our asses.
And we're not complaining.
Ain't that right, Fernie.
You're sort of a cultural...
Culture pod.
Yeah.
Hey, speaking of culture,
oh, we got off the,
this is our first show
here ever in Detroit.
Ever, ever.
So we thought we'd celebrate
with a little shot.
Yes, you're gonna kick off.
To get things going.
We want us to kind of kick it off.
How am I going to do this?
I'm gonna put this down.
Here's your little, here's,
we have little ketchup cups.
You know, we wanted to,
we wanted to eat dinner at buddies tonight
because I love buddies,
but it didn't work out
because we stopped for lunch
too late at Culver's.
How do you guys feel about
Culvers.
I had a deluxe butterburger and it kind of blew me away.
Me too. I loved it. It was smash burglary.
We had a thing the night before.
What's the, the, the Polly brothers, Dementi brothers?
Yeah, we had set a scene. We were in Pittsburgh. We were in Pittsburgh. We had just done a show and then we were in the hotel room. I was fucking starving.
And these two wanted to eat something. Go ahead, Jeff.
What's it called? Pimenti.
Permanti brothers.
Pramante brothers. Do you know this?
Do you like it?
It fucking sucked.
It was the, like, I've never been more disappointed.
And, like, if you hear about a place, it should at least be, like, two stars.
This was, like, toilet.
Not even any stars.
I've been there once before, sat at the place, eaten, gotten the burger one, and it was, like, I wouldn't say it was worth getting again.
But I was like, okay, it's not bad food.
We got, like, the cheese steak-ish thing.
Yeah, this, we got steak ones.
Steak sandwich is, like fries.
was garbage.
I didn't even...
What in my life
have I not finished a sandwich?
Like elementary school attempt at a
state. The fries were rotten.
Imagine you're drunk. You just rocked Pittsburgh
all you. Like, who are better customers
in the world than us and we didn't fucking eat?
We didn't even eat. I just heard as my
eyes were closed, just hearing you guys
like,
it's white bread.
Oh, this is bad.
This is bad, right? Yeah, it's bad.
These fries suck. The fries are brown.
So, have
The fries were old and brown.
They were.
But then we were driving past the Culvers, and like, it wasn't even on our radar.
I was driving, so you know, I was like fucking putting the hammer down.
I felt like a real Detroiter.
It was like, why not?
Yeah, we'll do it.
Why not?
And blew me away.
The concrete, incredible, the burger, incredible, fries.
Even the crinkle cuts fresh.
Put primanti to shame.
But, you know, so bad food in Pittsburgh, but you know,
Detroit's got the fucking
one time I ate at fucking
Polish Village
That's my shit
You know I got the Coney's
Over at Lafayette and the other place
Right there, all American
Something like that, we'll love it
You know I fucking
Got drunk at
Fucking Bumbos
You know I fucking
Got drunk at the Mongos
And you know this guy
Cheers for the Detroit Lions
It's that easy.
Actually...
Hey, remember Robocop?
He was here too.
Remember any type of Robo? Remember Osamo?
Did Robocop go to all the same places I just listed?
He did.
Damn.
Actually...
Let's do this shot.
I want to have my hand free.
Okay, I want to say one more location after.
Do your location because I want to be done with that.
Bottoms up.
Location.
No, it's a long story.
God damn it.
Cheers.
Great.
Oh, that's good.
So, buckle up.
Jim Beam, all right.
Do you want to listen to my long story?
Do you want to just check it?
I'll check out.
Okay, Jeff.
I didn't go to this place, but my friend, Ben Axorad, who you know,
he brought me to this wonderful Greek restaurant in Greek town,
and we got like flambay type, like cheese lit on fire and all this stuff.
Then we were leaving there.
It was early in the day.
It was like an early lunch.
And there was like a strip club with a Greek theme called bazooki.
Pizuki?
Bozuki with a Bizuki.
B-O-U-U-K-I.
B-O-U-K-I.
Not sexy.
But you know the Greek font?
Yeah.
It was the Greek font and like the ladies on the sign had,
I'm sorry, Jeff, you got roped into this.
Sorry.
It would, we didn't go.
It was not the vibe.
You could do the Chicago one.
Keep going, Tim.
I don't want the Chicago.
That's going to be in for a long.
Yeah, that's where I went to a polar strip.
All right, all right.
I didn't get to go to bazuki, but it was funny picturing just like
if it truly was like only Greek ladies there.
And they played Greek music and there's just like feta cheese all right.
I tried to check out during that, but I couldn't think of anything.
So I heard the whole thing.
I couldn't think of anything.
Not anything.
Not one thing.
That was your me time.
My little brain went, uh,
Beep
It beeped
Like a flatline
Well to be getting to some booze news
I don't know Detroit should we?
Yeah
Bibbib bit bit
Boos news hit it
I remember when Madonna was just
The Material Girl
Material
And there was just so much material
And I didn't know my stuff
So it's so sexy you stop
And you try to get a little of that material
That's like DNA material
Protein protein material
material. I gotta get this material out of me.
It's the taste
of your material.
My material smells like
spurt.
Boo's news.
Material was sent to us
by Tommy, aka
teenage fan sub on the Sloppy Boys
Discord. And if you have a booze
news theme, email it to the sloppy boys' podcast
at gmail.com.
Tommy couldn't make some good ones there.
Yeah. Yes. And did you notice? Because he has good
material to work with. Yeah, yeah. But
Not the material.
We were talking.
Come.
Yeah, come.
Right.
But is everyone caught up?
Is this your first time?
Anyone's first time here?
Or not here, but seeing a knowing what the sloppy was.
Okay.
So we call, we've in the past called come material.
It's a nice way to clean up the language.
Yeah.
I feel embarrassed now.
I mean, it's your genetic material.
Yep.
It's nasty.
Did you know that Madonna is from here?
Yes.
That's what?
Jack.
Stap it off?
Stap it off.
Is that close to
Is that close to Detroit?
Zachdard.
But still, state, though.
Still, state.
When I said here, I meant Michigan.
I didn't, I didn't mean
the magic bag,
theater in Ferndale.
I meant the state.
But the whole tour I met,
I picked all of these themes,
Booznews teams, to fit the city
and I've been forgetting to point out
that every night.
But yeah, that's right.
She's Michigan.
You know, you know, the magic bag,
I love this place.
first of all, but the magic bag is also what my doctor calls my ball saying.
Your doctor?
Yeah.
Well, then I get physicals.
He's like, all right, let me see that magic bag.
My hands on the magic bag.
I was like, dude.
Get that cock out of the way.
Let me see that magic bag.
Yeah, I wish this magic bag would learn the levitation spell, dude.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm kidding.
I get it up on a regular basis.
Hell yeah.
My boy gets his sky high.
Okay, for booze, for real, booze news.
Yeah, what's the actual booze?
Well, we've been doing something.
The sky's about an inch and a half.
All right, all right, all right.
Yeah, we got to talk to a meteorologist and see,
does the sky, can we get the sky lower?
We've been doing a special thing on tour
where we've been meeting the people,
talking to the people, asking questions,
getting to know what the real people out there actually feel
in a segment called Booz News Cues for me.
You.
We want to know what real Detroiters think.
What was that?
Hmm?
I remember.
Do you guys,
we're going to ask you your preference.
Your preference.
Two Detroit things.
Now, do you guys prefer Violent Jake?
Jay.
Violent Jay.
Well, no, no, you might be talking about someone different.
Who's Violent Jake?
Violent Jake is a guy from a band.
It's his brief.
really calm band. They don't rap.
Violent Jake?
Violent Jake is in this really calm acoustic band.
Now, Violent J
is what I meant to say. So Violent J or Shaggy
Too Dope. Who here likes
Violent J better?
Okay, and who's carried the torch for Shaggy Too Dope?
Wow.
Split, split, and not everyone voted.
Yeah, low turnout. Yeah, not a hot button
issue. Yeah, low turnout at the polls today.
Low turnout at the polls.
Sheesh.
Sheesh.
Um, okay, here's another one.
How about Ford versus Ferrari?
Who's it?
Who's Ford?
Now Ferrari.
Exactly.
Yeah, you go.
Fuck those guys.
Our cars are going to be a million dollars.
Fuck it.
Fuck that.
Our cars are gonna be blue.
I want my car places to kill horses.
Actually, Ferrari has the body of a horse on the logo.
Yeah, Ferrari's a pretty warm.
wild car. To be honest with you.
Well, you're a car guy. A car guy
like me would love to get behind the wheel of one of those.
Same this for your YouTube channel, man.
Yeah, shoot. How much horse power do you think that
thing has? You got to, well,
at least one on the little logo.
They count that horse.
And Lamborghini is a bull.
Lamborghini has a bull on the logo.
So the hood ornament
powers the car. I didn't know that.
Part of it. Part of it. Well, that's the genius
behind Ferrari cars.
Do you think this is right? I remember.
when I was a kid I was like trying to wrap my head around the idea of horsepower because you're like horse you're hearing a commercial as like horses and my dad was like yeah horse power it's how they measure like how hard a car how strong a car is and I was like well what would one horsepower power be and he said a hairdriar no way one well my deeper is 250 horsepower so you can imagine 250 hair I'm not a car guy I know just for a car guy that's
funny to me.
You're going to dunk on me on your YouTube
Joe. No, no, no. I love when people
are taking an interesting car. Imagine 250
hair dryers. That's probably similar
to my car. Yeah. Shit.
You'd think of a hairdry would be like, that's like
not even a horse. That's like a gerbil.
Yeah. A hamster could power that.
But this, you've seen me with my T-Bird
top-down driving my hair in the breeze. That's about
250 hair dryers worth of blow.
Okay. I'd tell you that car's as hot as 250.
Damn, that's a good looking car.
Cherry Red
It's on our album cover
And also our vinyl cover
Now available at the merch stand
Wait a minute
Come by that merch table post show
We got some vinyl for you folks
Not to mention the posters and the t-shirts
But vinyl for you folks
I think that's pretty good on the booze news
We got the answers we needed
Oh you want to wrap it up
I'm fine with that
Okay great
Tim
Wrap it up
That's it for booze news
That sounds like how
they would work on one of the Hanovera cars.
Like Fred's car.
Yeah. Fred's car. No tires.
George Jetson's car?
Ship.
Why is it? It's 2025.
And we were promised flying cars, you know?
Yeah.
Now it's, fuck.
Fuck.
I thought you didn't like geek shit.
You're on fire, bro.
I'm going to save that for my YouTube channel.
I might do another fantasy stuff
You're gonna what?
I might do a little hafer
Oh, a little hafer
I'm having a good time here
What day is today?
That's not so bad
Anybody in the audience
Want to join us for a little hafer
Yeah
It's thirsty Thursday
Thursday. It's Thursday Thursdays
We are turning our attention
To the drink of the day pretty soon
Oh, the D oh the D
Yeah sort of the main event here on the pod
Anybody who hasn't
Initiated
yet.
Well, we certainly had
a lot of options for drinks in
Detroit. We know we've, previously
in the pod covered the last word.
Delicious.
Should we say all the fun, exciting drinks we didn't
get to cover today? Sure.
Ooh, so right off,
have you guys ever watched a television show
called Detroiters?
Fuck, man, that show is so good.
We got to talk about that show for a single.
We watched, when I was at your house recently,
I hadn't watched it a little while,
and it's on Netflix.
That show is so fucking fun.
It's so fun.
It's so fun to have a show
that you laugh at and like.
I know.
So rare.
To have a little distance and go back,
like we've all,
you know,
I think you should like
the funniest shit in the world.
But then to be like,
well,
I've watched that a thousand times.
What about Detroiters again?
Yep.
Yep.
So funny.
Fantastic.
Should we do these shots?
Let's do it.
Oh, shit.
To Tim and Sam.
But it really is that I'm so,
there's such a funny drought.
happening there in TV land.
Especially on the Sloppy Boys podcast, we got
nothing. Oh, yeah.
Okay, so
fun drinks, we're going to cover.
So on Detroiters, there's a scene
that I love where Tim and
Sam get to go to, like, kind of like
a fancy event, and it's like catered,
so there's people walking around taking orders, and they're
like, oh, excited that their drinks are free?
So they're like,
can I have four Boston Coolers with
booze in them? And then they're like, oh, yeah,
I'll have four Boston Coolers, no booze on them.
actually, you know what? Put some booze in them.
And so we were like,
weirdly, it sounds like a Boston thing. It's a Detroit thing, right?
Right. Right. It's Vernors, right?
A Boston cooler is Vernors and vanilla ice cream,
but on Detroiters, they're going to put some booze at them.
Yeah.
We also, what, we, there was the last word.
There's also stroze beer, right?
Oh, yeah.
There's all kinds of, uh,
Possible drinks.
Indeed.
Robocop punch.
Awesome.
Bozooki strip club
pussy juice.
Oh, God.
I wanted to say
something kind of
crass.
Timmy, it sounded like my doctor.
He's like, let me see that
magic bag.
Man, I was going to tell you
earlier, Tim.
My God, I was down there
the other day.
There was a lot of elastic on this.
I was down there at the strip
I'll be drinking down pussy juice before this meeting, Mike.
I know, I heard that.
Mike.
I feel the same way, folks.
I got a little too, well, I had two shots.
So, you know I'm going to get a little last.
Yeah, that hafer wasn't a hafer at all.
Nope.
It was full.
That hafer was more full than the original full shot.
Yeah, I just will flip-flop.
Halfers will do that sometimes.
Haffers will, yeah.
Haffers can be just.
All of a sudden, a hafers are fuller and more.
You know what's great is that.
I feel drunker than I typically am at the top of the show,
but then also, with these lights in my eyes,
I can't see the crowd.
I can't see a fucking thing.
So it's sort of just into it.
It feels like we're back in the van.
I can see,
I can see Mitch on the web,
and that's about it.
Oh,
it's all this fucking haze.
Oh, that's what it is.
Yeah,
that's cool, though.
Yeah,
give up for Tony.
Tony got the haze,
we got some lasers going to.
Tony's running the sound.
Oh, look at those.
Oh, that looks good.
Sounds nice up here.
If you're wondering how Tony got this haze in here,
he sparked up before flip bong
yeah he sort of
darked the green thumb
oh yeah Tony man
he was he was fucking puffing
I was like dude can you
are you sure that mute sound is coming out of here
he's like dude I'm hearing
fucking Hendricks out of this thing
I was like Tony maybe
hold out on the smoke for now
let's also hear it from
Nick from the venue hooked us up with his house plant
he brought it to the show
and
we were like we're like
we want to
the stage to look fucking incredible.
He's like, I got a house plant.
He brought this from...
I didn't realize this was from the house.
I thought we agreed.
It was the Shurndale Shurn.
Oh, that wasn't canon.
I got to remember all this stuff
if I'm going to launch geek shit.com.
Anyway, back to the drink of the day.
I'll be the first one to log on.
So,
um, Jesus Christ,
this is taking forever, right?
Holy shit, the show's almost over.
Okay.
Kidding, there's a lot in the story.
a wonderful time here on the pod.
Okay, so we had these options.
With the Boston cooler,
we didn't, we just didn't,
this, we didn't have the,
the, what do you call it,
the amenities, the ice cream.
Yeah, ice cream.
Yeah.
We couldn't pull it off to be scooping ice cream in here,
but before I even knew that,
I'm kind of a Hollywood guy, right?
Yes.
Sure.
I've got a deep Rolodex.
Yeah.
Yep.
So I reached out to Tim Robbins,
himself and I said, hey, Tim, we're talking about
Boston Cooler, we're talking about Detroit.
You work with him on Digman, that's right.
Hey, Digman season two coming to Comedy Central and
Paramount Plus soon.
Coming at you.
But I also know him for just me being out partying in the Hollywood.
I know, yeah, but I want to get that.
Digman plug in there.
Debrolodex.
So I asked him about Detroit drinks,
and he told me about a little drink called the Bill Bonds.
You've heard?
You've had?
You're a drink one right now?
Nice.
Who in this room had heard of this drink before tonight?
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
One very proud one got a new well-in-lawful.
Okay, that tracks.
I think that was Jack White.
Because here's what Tim Robinson said about this drink.
He said there was this famous Detroit news guy named Bill Bonds
and he used to drink his signature drink,
Crown Royal with Butterscotch Schnapps.
No one will know that, but it's true and he's a legend.
So Tim was wrong because one guy, one guy knew it.
But is anyone here familiar with newscaster Bill Bonds?
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
We were listening to him, man.
He's a cool dude.
Yeah, he is cool.
That's like a presence we don't really have anymore.
Not at all.
When would he have been,
are you going to do the history, Tim?
I'll do the history.
But yeah,
we've been listening to,
because he's a news man.
He's on like Action 7 News,
WXYZ here in Detroit.
He's like,
like 70s, 80s,
90s type of Ron Burgundy era.
Classic newsman.
And here's the thing.
Ron Burgundy,
Will Farrell has said Ron Burgundy
is based on Mort Crim.
And Mort Crim is the guy
in Detroiters.
But,
but like more,
so that's the main thing,
but like Mort Crim's like competitor
on a different network
at the very same time
would have been Bill Bonds.
Very.
And Bill is a charismatic drunk.
Absolutely.
Slurry, little,
there's little super cuts
of him getting a little slurry
with a little slurry with a way.
It should make one of those for us.
It would be the shortest compilation
in the world.
No, these guys,
are just good newsmen.
Have you heard booze news as tight as a drum?
Anyway,
for anyone here,
most of our fans are
Gen Alpha, and they're not too familiar
with Bill Bonds.
So if you're not familiar with the concept
of a news anchor or broadcast news or anything,
Jeff, why don't you hit...
I brought one Bill Bonds
clip so that
you can get a sense of the man's personality.
Here is a...
The raw footage of him doing
a promo for
the news. Great.
This is no bonds. We keep reporting that the economy
is improving, but the long lines
for new jobs are still forming in this metropolitan Detroit area.
Today, hundreds of people are expected to apply for car selling
positions with four dealers. Also today, some poor people in Detroit
are without a place to go.
Tough shit.
What the fuck does that mean?
What the fuck kill its fucking thing.
Oh, come on, Bill.
I don't know what it means.
What the fuck does it mean?
What the fuck do those two first things mean?
No place to me.
Jesus, fucking age.
Christ, what the fuck is wrong with a short declarative sentence?
Like, good evening on Bill Bonds.
Nothing is new.
Good night.
That's a keeper.
You ready, Bill?
Yeah, I'm ready.
Yeah, I'm ready.
He's real Winnebago, man.
Illinois.
Winnebago, that's right.
He rules.
He's got big, uh,
also like his hair
he proudly wears a toupee
and makes one of himself for it
but a big hair
charismatic guy in that clip
what's great is he was getting pissed like
what is this shit but he was right
it was like bad copy like
it was like the news tonight like
many people in Detroit are
poor and do not have homes later tonight
and it's like it wasn't like a headline
so he was
screaming at the crew
at the poor journalism
at the passive voice and such.
But he was right, and the people on the crew are laughing.
Like, they kind of agree with him.
So, but we've been listening to clips of his commentary.
This is back in the day where it's like impartial news,
but at the end, it's like, now it's time for Bill Bond's commentary,
and he would just wax poetic.
So that was just a thing at the end of every news hour.
And it's like, he's the news anchor, but then at the end he'd be like,
you know what, Mr. Reagan all times?
Tell you this.
Yeah, yeah.
He's like a man of the people.
Yeah.
But like, so he would sit down and like write these opinion things and just perform them.
And they're like beautifully written.
Yeah.
It kind of starts one.
Some of them start one way and he like turns it and then yeah.
And it's funny because he's like an old white guy in the 70s, but like a little, he made
some points that you were like.
Pretty progressive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For the.
For the news.
But then also it was mixed because he was also talking about like the Detroit Athletic
Club where the last word was invented.
I tried to get in there and they wouldn't let me.
Not athletic enough?
Because you didn't have a suit coat, right?
You had not only, you had to be wearing a suit and Ben, my friend Ben, was wearing a tank top.
And shorts.
So you're not getting in.
You were wearing a full tuxedo.
He was in shorts.
But like the Detroit Athletic Club was men's only.
And that was late, once it got to be like the 90s or something, that was problematic.
and he did a commentary.
It was weird because he was like,
there's nothing inherently wrong
with a club being for men.
And they're kind of like, okay, weird.
But then he also then like went on to like make some feminist points
and be like, the Detroit Athletic Club is stuffy and old
and I would never be a member there and he talks shit on them.
So it's like he's kind of a, he's a moral guy.
I don't even know what his politics are, but we liked him.
I liked him a lot.
I liked when he would talk about Reagan or something.
and he'd be like, you know what?
Somebody's got to go to that guy and say,
listen, pal, that's just not the way it is around here.
Fogsy, like the pal and buddies.
What was awesome.
Standing up to Mr. Reagan about like standing up for the automotive industry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But now there were some other interesting commentaries we'll get to later,
but here on the pod, it's a booze podcast, right?
Oh, yeah.
So that's what we wanted to inspect one aspect of his personality was that he was drunk all the time.
So that was the thing, like on the news,
the man was just always drunk.
So this was like Anchorman.
This was Anchorman.
And when 1995, when he was finally fired,
it was for a drunk driving incident.
Really?
Yikes.
But, but, but before that,
here I went to Reddit,
and here's some people of Detroit
described people who had met him, talking about him.
Cool.
Here's someone says,
oh man, some of the stories out there
about this guy are really,
something. And then somebody says, I ran into a liquor store in Birmingham once, and I didn't
think he was going to make it back to his car without falling over. Back to his car. From the
liquor store. Yikes. That's a rough move when you're opening drinks in the liquor store drinking.
Imagine seeing a guy, like, he's so stumbling, he's so drunk, I hope he gets to his car.
Then he'll be safe.
somebody who says
doesn't it feel like back in the 70s, 80s, any other time,
but now it's like, yeah, you just bounce around.
Everyone was fucked up, nobody wore anything.
There's a seatbelts.
Doc on Hunter S. Thompson on the Fear and Loathing DVD, I think.
And the camera's riding along with him.
He's driving around Vegas.
And he has a six pack of beer that he's just freely cracking in the car
when he's driving.
Those types of people who are just,
like do drugs and drink all day every day and it doesn't affect them that's an
interesting I think it doesn't affect them but that's uh that's it's so few and far
with those people you meet they're just like do I was at a fish concert once and I was
with Harris and his buddies and we were yeah RIP and we we were hanging out with
his buddy and he was that we were down the floor I just I did first time meeting him and
he's like, yeah, I'm on acid.
That wasn't working, so I took some Molly, and we were like smoking.
I was like, you got a, what are you talking about?
You're doing Molly at acid.
It's insane.
And then just like completely successful, good at his job and everything.
And yeah, he runs like a restaurant in Houston.
Well, to back that up, have you heard of the incident with, here's somebody recounting talking
about Bill Bonds?
He said, my buddy used to work at this country club as a busboy.
First time
we met Bill Bonds,
he was semi-passed out on the floor.
He was supposed to be on the news at six.
Sure enough, six o'clock rolled around
and there he was on TV like any other night.
Wow.
That's what I'm talking.
And I don't condone this behavior,
but that is like those people who just like can
come back to do it.
Yikes.
I got a couple more of these I'll share later,
but I want to talk about his drink of choice.
Yeah.
It's very funny.
Like, it's built into this man's legacy that he was...
Like, I watched, like, a remembrance of him on ABC 7, like, talking about, like, after he died.
And even in that, they were like, he was best friends with the bottle.
And his drink of choice, this is so funny to me that it would be Crown Royal whiskey, which we love.
Yeah.
And butterscotch schnapps.
Come on, folks.
Now, give it up.
Now, Tim had said, I didn't know what the ratio was,
just Crown Royal and Butterscotch Snops.
And then, like, a lot of people on Longbournob talking about,
but I found a blog of it that said, equal parts.
Wow.
One part.
So I would have thought you're just kind of sweetening it up with his shots.
But I think.
No, he's a big sweetie.
He's a sweetie.
This is going to be, that's going to be tough, I think.
Yeah.
Although I'm liking butterscotch these days.
We could always, we could always do it.
I'm a senior citizen, man.
But, I mean, that is good that the old guy
likes something that tasted like Wurthers.
Yeah, yeah.
The classic, like, grandma's purse candy.
But this would be good, so we can do it
Bill's way, and then, round two,
we can sort of customize it.
Right, exactly. The first round is going to be
very sweet indeed.
Yes.
But I say we,
should we, like, let's get to it, right?
Yeah, so folks, you probably all have them
in the audience.
You can't wait to drink them or you've been drinking them.
But we're going to take our very first sips when we come back right after this.
Back live in Detroit.
We've got to make these drink.
Let me get some icing these.
Ice them up.
Okay, well, you guys ice them up and make us some 50-50 crown royal and butterscotches.
I wanted to read some more.
I had a couple more recounting.
of Runnings with Bill Bonds.
This one was
somebody on Reddit about Bill Bonds said
Bonds is a legend. When I was a teenager,
I was in the same rehab as him.
He was a really nice guy.
And then, oh, this one, I like this one.
This is someone who was at the same country club as him.
And he said,
I saw him at the pool
I saw him in the pool
and his head never went on her water
it's a toupee thing
it's a two pay thing
do toupee things
are people wearing toupee things
are they just so good?
No no
are they just so good that you don't know
they get the surgery
you've seen the surgery
they sort of needle
these dudes have like a band of like
needleed flesh
but you only notice the bad ones
the good ones I don't think you have
I think the good ones are expensive and you don't know.
Yeah, you don't notice on Steve Correll, do you?
Right.
You don't notice on Tim Kel Pagas, do you?
You know, the big one, they don't want you to know about it as they say Harry Stiles.
Hey, I'm a fan.
You can still be a fan.
Good.
You know who got it?
You know who just recently got was Pam Anderson.
I'm kidding.
Here I go.
First Sips.
All right, folks.
Here we go.
the bill bombs.
Not too sweet.
Not too sweet. I thought it was going to be bowled over
by sugar, not at all.
Ooh.
Yeah.
I got to say Crown Royal is my
favorite whiskey, so I'm pumped on that.
And then I'm getting this
Werther's aftertasting.
You know what it reminds me of?
Oh, we did some good drinks on the pod.
French connection and the godfather.
Oh, yeah.
Decerona.
Decerona with brandy.
Yeah.
And then like a rye and di Cerona or something.
Like that's right with anything is good.
Oh, yeah.
Those are good drinks.
Those are also like equal parts-ish, right?
Yep.
Yeah.
I'll tell you what.
I would like this butterscotch liqueur and like a like a milkshake.
Yeah, I was going to say milkshake or nice room.
That would be good.
Maybe it's the Culver's talking.
Well, that's true.
I had a vanilla milkshake.
I'll tell you what, it's fucking shamrock shake season out there.
We got to hit some.
Ooh.
Maybe tomorrow on the drive we go to Mickey Diz and get some shamracks.
Has anybody gotten a shamrock shake?
Are they good this year?
Good batch, good batch, good batch, good batch, good batch, good batch, good mix, good
Where did we see? Someone else had like a very funny named knockoff.
Oh yeah, what was it?
Some other fast food plays was like the lepricon cocktail.
Look out, it's the clover drink.
Clover drink.
The pato gold frap.
Potto, potto gold frat.
Oh, this is really damn good.
You know what?
It's like a down and dirty, easy, old-fashioned kind of a thing.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Ish.
Ish.
But it's got like a caramel toffee worthers.
Yes.
Toffee.
That's what I like.
Heath.
I would never know.
Folks.
Heath is Toffee.
I love that shit.
He doesn't even have to be Heath.
Any brand toffee.
I'll tell you what.
Jeff's parents came to our Boston show, gave us some coffee.
Jeff loves toffee.
I think just Jeff loves
toffee.
I was raised on that shit.
I got a call from your dentist the other day.
He said, Mike, can I just
cross? Can I just ask you a few questions?
Dr. O'Mario?
I was like, who is this again?
She said, yeah,
how often is Jeff eating
toffee?
Said, look, that is none of my business.
And frankly, that's none of your business.
I say, lady, lady, lady,
you want the flossie?
to to to the toffee.
If you want to floss my teeth,
I got to put some stuff in there.
It's weird.
She's being pushy about it
because you know she's getting rich off
but she's sending her kids to college
because you're toffee.
When toffee teeth comes to town,
she's sending these guys
to the best schools in the world.
Here's the thing, though,
toffee, caramel,
buttercotch, all of these,
Google them and be like,
I wonder how you make that.
Sugar.
Sugar and butter.
Yeah.
And then you look at the other one,
butter and sugar.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, sugar.
I'll tell you, from the candy factory,
I've made all that shit.
I've made butterscotch and all that,
all toffee and all that.
It's all different kinds of sugar.
It'll be like,
first you take a big scoop of sugar.
Yeah.
But then you've got to add your corn syrup.
And then don't forget a little pinch of invert sugar.
Where's the butter?
Butter is in there too.
Oh, good.
But it's all just like different kinds of sugar.
You should make this at your house.
You should make, I'm going to make some taffy at home.
I could be like this.
Why should you do it?
I could be like the Toffee disruptor.
I could be the
Casper mattress of Toffee.
The Toffee industry didn't
see this guy coming. That's the
article right. This is the one guy
that Toffee industry fears.
Everybody get in here. We are fucked.
This guy's making Toffee. The Toffee industry
hates to see him coming.
Just one weird trick.
Toffee.
Many people hate that.
Go for it, Tim.
Well, I was going to say,
I was going to say,
I was going to say the toffee industry hates to see them coming and it's a picture of you having an orgasm.
Oh!
How about this one?
Well, I'll clean it up a little bit.
If you want to get really big with this, go huge and make toffee like the biggest thing in the world.
You say, move over coffee.
It's time for toffee.
And all of America.
You should make a toffee drink.
Yes.
Ooh.
Everyone wakes up in the morning and they peop up with a toffee drink.
Yeah, yeah.
Give me a venty iced toffee.
All the same.
I'll have a to coffee with milk and sugar.
I'll have a black coffee.
You get to work, your teeth are all stuck together with the toffee.
Yeah.
You're going to fucking die soon because you eat too much sugar.
Your heart's coated in toffee.
Anyway, the drink's good, though.
Yeah, that's right.
It gets even better as it's meltier.
This is, I'm kind of shocked.
I sort of thought we were going to be doing something kind of stupid here.
I thought, yeah, I thought it was going to be way sweeter than this.
I think Mike, next time, if I could talk about my next round.
Round two, you mean?
Well, can we hear from the people real quick?
Yes.
Folks, too sweet?
Yes.
Or, hey, this is a treat.
Both the same answer.
No, and yes.
Mike, go ahead with your thing.
Well, where was I?
Oh, I think next time I'm going to do just a little less of, I'm going to do two to one.
Oh.
I think.
Two to one what?
Two to one what?
Oh, sorry.
Two to one whiskey over.
Scotch.
Hey, what about this buttercotch
in Scotch? That would be cool.
Wait, okay, there's something there.
There is something there.
Butter scotch, schnabs,
and scotch, it's like,
the two schnapps is twin schnapps,
schnapps, schnapps, scotch,
scotch, not schnapps.
But no.
Butter scotch and scotch.
Snaps and scotch.
No, no, get rid of the schnapp's part.
Butter scotch and scotch.
Yeah.
And scotch. So it's scotch, scotch.
Right, but you were saying schnapp, schnaps.
He's slurring.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
I'm just trying to clear it up.
Hey, what's the...
You don't be respectful of the drunk.
You're right.
What do you think, Furt?
Oh, you're being awfully quiet.
So this is the part of the show
where we get too drunk,
we start talking to the foliage.
That actually sounds
that is creating a good sound.
I feel like I'm safariing
through the Amazon jungle.
That's going to be a beat on the next album.
We know it.
Wait, what's drambuie?
That's Scotch bass as well.
Dramboo.
Dramboo.
No, A, B, we did this, we heard us,
Gail had a song that was A, B, C, D, Drambo.
That one's for the heads.
Banger.
Can I say something, this may be the drink talking.
I'm having a great time.
And I'm just looking at, hey, yeah, are we having a good time?
You have a good time?
And I'm looking out here, and this is such a cool room.
I love the way it's set up, the tears.
What a great place.
I'm feeling good.
Mike, can I piggyback off your thoughts?
Please.
I'm having a great time too.
Jeff?
Make it.
Never better.
I'm staring.
The general admission pit
and they're going fucking nuts.
They're moshing.
You're my boy too, man.
Okay, but here's the thing, though.
All the patient girlfriends and wives
are slowly being one over.
Can we ask who's the girlfriend's wives
who, uh, yeah, okay?
I've never heard of us.
Right there.
Thank you.
You?
You look like,
so you're a newbie.
But you're having fun.
But you look like,
you're having great time.
You're aware of you.
You've heard of us.
Anyway,
I wanted to say this.
I agree with my two co-hosts
that I'm having a lot of fun tonight.
And like,
I want to express it in a way.
You know,
like I'm an artist, right?
And when I have a feeling
I get really inspired at any of you get it out
using the art of music.
Yeah.
And I'm maybe,
the way for me to do it is in song.
Here on the pod?
Here on the pod, maybe I'm a musician.
Maybe I express how I feel.
I'm so happy tonight.
It's a great medium to get your feelings.
Yeah, exactly.
But maybe I do it using the music of the region.
Oh.
And then maybe I, but maybe I,
and maybe it's time for me to do a song about how,
what, how things are going here tonight.
Ooh.
Okay.
Anything else we should know?
Yeah, you should know.
Jeff hit the track.
I think he's lost in the moment, Jeff.
Jeff, and I can't even believe how delicious the cocktail time of my life.
That is some good nine-mile wrapping to them.
That is just about right.
That's good.
Did you guys know that we're just off nine-mile round?
These people know where they are.
you guys know where you are
whoa man
you can't slip anything past this crowd
they're aware of the street
they're on
Tony's up there going
damn I wish I knew where I was being
yeah because he's smoking
to the haze up the room
it's a big responsibility
he's smoking all that weed
I know
he had to smoke all the weed to get this place
filled out
can I ask you a question sir
why does your Detroit
Tigers hat
why is the D backwards
Just in case you see me in your rear view, you know where I'm coming from.
In case you see him in your rear view, you know where he's coming.
I don't know why I'm back there, but...
What are you doing?
You're driving.
I like it. It's cool.
A funny thing happened right at the top of the show with you,
where the waitress was showing you the...
What do you call that thing?
Menu?
No.
QR?
No.
machine that rings you up with your car.
Oh, yeah.
Those, but like, she
was reached out kind of far to show it to you,
but I couldn't see from the stage that
that's what it was. I thought it was a cell phone.
So I thought she was just like, showing you a picture
on our phone.
Yep. I was like,
what the fuck? Who could be on there?
What's so damn interesting
on that thing? I do like that when
a waiter, waitress, brings out the
thing, the TIA-83,
the calculator thing. And you're like,
great, boom, and I'm out of here.
That's my favorite just paying and leaving.
You remember the T-I-83?
Yes.
I used to play like drug war on there or something like that.
Was that what it was called?
There was drug war. I played snake.
Snake, of course.
I remember I lent my T-83 to a kid who, it was like the last day of school, and he was like,
I need it for a test, like, I need a calculator, I'll give it back, I'll send it to you this summer.
Okay, because I needed it at space camp.
And I was like, yeah, I guess you can borrow it.
And I never saw it again.
It's so sad.
Fuck that guy.
Okay.
I want to know what you change about the drink.
You're doing two to one.
Tim?
I think so.
Your tweaks?
You know, I would have sworn earlier in the show
before I had it that my tweak would be
to roll back the butterscotch.
Oh, you're a tweak freak.
Yeah, I'm a tweak freak.
I thought I would roll back the butterscotch
but I'm going to roll the butterscotch up.
I'm going to do a two to one.
Whoa.
I bet I bet a just this stuff alone on ice
would be good too, the butterscite stuff.
Yeah, could we just take a little sip of that butter.
You want to do it in the shocklight?
Just really quick.
They ran out of butterscotch in the house?
We got a bunch of it here.
He said now they're making them with amaretto.
That sounds even better.
That's delicious.
Just give me a little boop.
Yep.
There you go.
We should donate this bottle so that people just want to taste.
Okay, bottoms up?
Ooh, that's straight weather.
That's sweet.
Yeah, it's a melted Wothers
Exactly, exactly Wothers
No, oh my God

Damn. So let's get these round
two's going, huh? I love that.
Folks, we'll be right back with more sloppy
boys after this.
Let's hear it for Dutz
featuring Mike Hand. You're looking
for a feature and you get Mike Hand for
and Holy shit.
It helps to live with him.
That's your in.
All right. We're back in. How's it going up there
in Detroit?
Baby.
Who, baby.
Okay, we're talking a big game about how we're going to mix up new drinks with new proportions.
We're going to do that shit.
Two to one.
Two to one and then two to one flip.
One to two.
One to two.
Okay.
And while you get those big stuff, I'm freshen you up here.
I had one more thing I wanted to read about somebody.
I got to chuck my round one here.
Yeah, go for it.
Yeah, I'll take that.
Plink.
Here's what somebody said about, um, uh, uh,
Bill Bonds.
That's going to be good later.
Yep.
What was that? You were just drinking?
Yeah, I just chucked the last one.
Oh my God, this guy's a maniac.
Okay, from Reddit, this was the last
eyewitness account.
I was here for Reddit.
Lots of great stuff happening there
and 8chan and all kinds of stuff.
This was my,
the last one. I really like this one
because it was like,
oh my god Bill Bonds of this
Bill Bonds to that and then somebody
said I actually used to go trick or
treating at his house growing up
his wife gave out full size
candy bars
that fucking rules
That feels like
Just for what we heard from that
That feels like a move that he would do is like you know what
This is the thing. Give him the fucking
full candy bar and the full candy bar
I know like the street in my hometown
That I would have said that about that I was like
Oh my God you go to this one place
This is big houses the
Give a fucking little fucking candy mars, man.
He's a generous man, and we name drinks after generous men, don't we?
Nobody's out there drinking the Elon Musk, are they?
They ain't doing it.
It doesn't exist.
No, but there's a few people drinking the Kool-Aid.
Oh, he flipped it on me.
I'm not flipping it, I'm agreeing with you.
I wish I had a mic stay.
Well, I'll get you one for your birthday.
November 3rd?
I'm sticky now.
All right, the drinks are ready.
All right, the drinks are ready.
Does anyone need any more butterscotch?
Is this me?
You and I got the same.
Put the butterscotch on the lip of the stage.
If anyone who wanted it,
or splash your drink with some buttercotch.
Or you could go to the bar
and you can get like just a crown royal on the rocks
and then you can come up here and you top yourself off.
That's community butterscotch now.
Yeah.
It's the Bill Bonds way
Okay, 221
221
221 221
Here we go
Yep
Did you get the right one mic?
Yeah
I still think it's pretty balanced
You got two butterscotches to one whiskey
Yeah
Can I tell you something off the record?
Yeah
I'm a little bit drunk and I wanted to say yep
And instead of saying into my microphone
I set it into my glasses
Jeff did that before
It's fine
That's fine
It's been happening all tour.
Oh, so it's a pandemic.
I went ahead and I, it's the pandemic that everyone's talking about.
Tim, last night in Pittsburgh you did 20 minutes into your glass.
I went ahead and I went ahead with him, Mike told the glasses tonight.
I was like, hey, everyone, did I ever tell you I was on the sunset strip and I bumped into a musician and I put his music in my BBDs?
But on a serious note, yes.
Other of the hundreds of hours.
of Bill Bond's commentaries
we've been listening to in the van.
He did a lot of like funny
misdirect type stuff like where
it was the time
of the year where you were, uh, girl scout
cookies were for sale. Oh, I like that a lot.
And he did a commentary that it was like,
well, it's the time of year.
Well, we're also, I love like any
commentary that starts with like, fall is here.
But he'd be like,
it's the time of year when a Girl Scout cookies
are for sale. And he was like, now here
at ABC 7, I'm not a
allowed to promote any business. So I can't tell you about the new Girl Scout cookies. For example,
I can't tell you about the brand new. And then he described the whole thing. Every cookie too.
He was like the delicious crunchy Samoas, the ooey, gooey, this and that. He had such a like a poetic
way of describing them all too. Yeah. Also, he just didn't say Girl Scouts, right? Like, he just
tiptoed around it in the most basic way. He just said, I'm just not allowed to tell you.
And then he was like, I might not be on the 11 o'clock tonight.
And then he like took out a box of Girl Scout cookies and was eating him and was just like,
I wish I could tell you about these, but I can't.
This guy was cool.
By the way, we're smack the fuck dab in Girl Scout season, aren't we?
I don't know.
I got groceries the other day and those girls were swarming me.
I was like, get out of here.
I might, I might pick up a tag along.
What do you do?
What's your Girl Scout move?
Thinman is my.
Thinman is a go-to.
And then what's the coconuty drizzles?
That's me. Samoa.
Samoa.
Yeah, that's a good one too.
I am not a fan of coconut.
I understand that about the kind of like wet, shreddy coconut in general in life in like a mounds or an almond joint.
Yeah, yeah.
But there's something about the Samoa.
It's a little more toasted and I like it.
And I'll tell you this.
I read an article that.
Tim, I just had a reverse situation where a guy walked by the stage and cheers me and I cheers them with my microphone.
That'll happen.
There's a pandemic of the.
that happening. I know. I'm doing everything crazy
today, too. I took a shit in his hat
backstage. I was like, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
That goes in the toilet. My hair goes on the... I put a toilet
on my head. I put a lot of hair my hair. Sorry, Tim, you're
mid-story.
This is a loose one. This is a loose one.
Show? That's okay. It's Detroit.
I like it. I don't know what's going on tonight.
Hey, who hears from Ham-Tramic?
See?
Did Eminem end up coming in?
because I did send them an email.
Oh, Marshall?
Yeah, I said it to m&m.gmail.com.
M&M.com.
It's a weird one.
By the way, yeah, folks,
if you ever want to know
a celebrity's address,
it's their first name
and last name at gmail.com.
Just guess it, and you're right.
Stephen.
Dot Spielberg at gmail.com.
Yeah.
I have an idea for a dinosaur film.
He's hard up for ideas.
Hmm.
Shh.
Let's not talk.
Let's not talk for a dinosaur film.
a few minutes.
Here's the thing, though.
Yeah.
I had a special surprise for the two
of you.
Holy shit.
Wait a minute.
It's funny.
There's shadowy figures
coming up to the bar.
This isn't a shadowy figure.
We know this guy.
Oh, hey.
We know this.
That's bitch on the web.
This is Mitch, baby.
My absolute.
Boar butterscotch schnops into a Miller
High Life.
Hey.
Can you tell us how it is?
It's sweeter.
Wow.
And?
Pretty good.
Yeah.
Sweeter.
pretty good. Normally when there's like
when there's illicit behavior at the edge
of the stage people are giving us shots or
something. Now they're coming up and just like
taking little bits of
butter scoffs. It's time for us
to give back. Yeah it's time for us to give back. This is
the sloppy boys give back. I like
that though. That move is very untrend.
He's pouring anything into a Miller
high life. I feel like
it's right. The world's opened up.
It's great. A couple years ago we had this
spigat but now it's anything. So
we just had a great experience in Toronto at two
222 where they made like...
Oh yeah, you bet?
You've been to that bar?
Really?
Are you Canadian?
We had a fucking blast.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, oh yes, yes, yes.
Wonderful bar.
They took great care of us.
We had free drinks all night and they...
They let us jump the line in karaoke.
Imagine you want to sing karaoke.
Everyone's waiting and you get to go...
You want to sing a whole new world with your boy.
Yeah, we did.
We did a whole new world.
I was Jasmine.
Me too.
And at the end of the night.
I left my backpack
there and the bar closed
and the backpack got my passport
and I was fucked
and one of the bartenders
woke up early in the morning
and let me back in and get my passport.
What a place.
Two, two, two and Toronto.
But that's a huge
move.
And that is, save the tour
and that's like that's Canada, baby.
You got Toronto going out there.
That's canon?
Canada.
That's Toronto helping out.
But I bring them up to say
they had a,
like a French 75
cocktail in a
Miller High Life with a little bit
of St. Germain as well. It was delicious.
Anyway, I have a surprise for you guys.
So did somebody mention we're
on nine mile road?
Yeah.
And is, my math's not great,
but is that near eight mile road?
Yeah, it's one mile away.
Do you think it would be appropriate for us to have
a freestyle rap
battle?
Yeah.
Okay, here's the thing.
Jeff and Mike.
Oh, this is, I know.
You guys, I'm no good at freestyling.
You guys are going to have a showdown in a rap battle,
but I know, I know you're not professional rappers.
Not even amateur rapper, really.
I did out on the town.
Oh, okay, Mike is a professional rapper.
I'm a pro rapper.
And you?
I'm nothing.
You're nothing.
I mean, you got that pop album with Dutz, but you didn't rap.
Yeah, I didn't never really wrapped.
Okay, go ahead, Tim.
I accounted for that when it came to the,
beats permitted of the track. I figured you might need a little bit of time to think. So I've
accounted for that in the beat. But right now, it's time for you guys to have a freestyle
rap battle as if you were rabbit from a mile. Are you ready? Two rabbits? No, no, no, I'm not.
Can you give me anything about like, what are we rapping about? You're dunking on Mike.
No, but talking about too hard. And Mike is dunking on you. It's brother versus brother.
It's brother versus brother. Here in Detroit.
Here in Detroit.
Can I have someone to come up to and be my, like, hype person?
Of course.
If anyone wants to come up.
And somebody for Jeff's corner, too.
We need the Mackay Fifers up here.
I guess that's not going to happen.
Here we go.
All right.
I'm not going to make this.
Mackay is not in the house tonight?
Not tonight.
Nobody wants to come up here.
Okay, Mike, you're going first in the, imagine.
And I'm making fun of Jeff.
Well, it's a rap battle.
You do, like, you're going against them, but you wrap.
rap at him.
Is it a slow beat, you say?
Yeah.
Good, good.
Does this need to be stopped?
Is this something you should control, or is it just like...
Yeah, what do I do?
It's just this button and it stops it and starts it.
Okay, great.
Stop it if I get too nasty with it.
If I'm really burying this fool.
I'm going to put him in that ground tonight.
You're at a hip-hop club in a basement.
Everyone has been freestyle rap battling each other all night.
And now it's you and...
Jeff are up and hit it.
Thank you, Tim.
You a mess.
Easy-ass nasty mess.
You stink like a piece of mess.
And you're so bad dress, Jeff.
Whoa.
You think you smart, but you stoop.
I'd love to slap you with a glove.
Now, Jeff, I know for a fact Jeff does not believe
life after love.
I like, I like rapping poorly
and that afterwards going, I had to do.
He had to do it. Being more animated
afterwards. For those you keeping track,
he rapped stupid with, he rhymed
stupid with stupid.
People do that. People are doing that now.
And he rhymed mess with mess
four times.
And I think, but the thing
is he had unmistakable flow.
Nobody
flows like him.
He's got flow.
you know, that's the thing
about him. It's the flow you know.
It's distinct.
Mike Hanford, it's the flow you know.
Sure, yeah, maybe I learned my flow
from progressive, but whatever.
Stop. Okay, Jeff.
Now, I should have used that in my song.
Here's what's so cool.
When I introduced this idea,
the crowd got kind of sad
because, like,
well, because we're a positive group.
We're boys, we're good friends, we pump each other up.
And I was saying, like,
you guys have to dunk at each other.
Yeah.
But so, like, it was like, oh, no.
But what happened?
Mike was vicious to you, Jeff.
He called him a mess.
He called you a mess?
Yeah, he was.
Several times.
He called you stupid.
And he said that you don't believe in life after love.
I should arrive duts with suss.
Yeah.
Like, oh, oh, your coolness is suss.
I heard your album.
You think you're duts?
But that's a problem.
Okay.
For those keeping track, he rhymes album.
That's what a real rap battle guy does.
Security.
It never stops.
It never stops.
This guy's out.
You should hate it.
Okay.
Jeff, Mike was ruthless, so the gloves are off.
Here you go.
Hit it.
Oh, that kick in the snare.
Sitting just so.
Thanks, buddy.
Rap against Mike, that's just wrong.
I'm Godzilla, he's just calm.
Eating bananas, I'm over here wearing pajamas.
Mike, I hate to say this straight to your face.
You don't belong in the human race.
You know, human lives here at four.
Jeff, are you just gonna take that?
Tell you about, I'm talking genus and species.
But my man,
You smell like fucking feisty.
All right, Jeff.
Oh shit?
Then why do you smell like it?
Oh, shit.
I'm sorry, bro.
That was fucking vicious.
Now we got to find out who the winner was.
Let's hear it for Mike Hanford.
And now let's hear for Mike's boy, Dutz.
You have won the Detroit rap battle.
And you know what you won?
What?
A cony dog.
Can I tell you something?
There's nothing that strikes fear in my heart more than the idea of you have to do a rap.
It is so, I am so bad at it.
You're so bad.
What do you mean?
You're completely annihilated Jeff.
I lost the battle.
Well, he annihilated you more.
Oh.
I think you guys did a great job and I'm proud.
My proud.
Oh, thanks, Tim.
Thanks, folks.
This could become a recurrence.
segment. You might have stumbled into some gold.
Oh, really? Gold record. Yeah.
Wait.
Curring segment? I stumbled on gold.
But if we do it again, that shit'll get old.
Oh, people are cheering. Some people are like that. I don't know.
That's okay. They're not allowed to not like my art.
Oh. Sorry. I'm divisive.
Damn. Well, uh, we
Do you want to rank this drink and sort of like give it in the official.
Order again.
I love it.
Order again.
Surprisingly good.
Yeah.
Better.
I thought we were doing a novelty drink and we did a good drink.
It was delicious.
Well, yeah.
Tim,
I think you're right.
Because look,
here's a guy who's like a famous drunk.
A famous drunk.
Yeah.
Known for his,
known for his way around the bottle.
Doesn't go underwater in the pool.
Neither.
No.
So he's not going to like,
you're not going to drink what he drank.
for like 30 years and be like, oh, it's bad.
No, he knows what he's doing.
He's kind of a professional of this.
He's sleeping on the floor of the floor of the country.
And then he made it on the evening news.
When did he pass away, Tim?
2014.
Damn.
He missed COVID.
Did you miss COVID?
I wouldn't say I missed it.
Stop.
All right.
Stop that.
I think we're doing about the episode, so I should stop.
I should cut out this shit.
No?
You want me to keep going?
Oh, Mike, what you got, man?
What do I got?
Hit that beat.
If you want to meet us after the show,
the t-shirt tables where you should go
will be saying hi and signing things.
And we have vinyl, too.
Wait, wait a second.
Wait, hit it.
Mike, you got some gall.
Fucking shirt looking like a tennis ball.
Here's a real question.
If you come up, we're not going to roast you.
Is anyone an actual freestyle who could do something that'd be?
Yeah.
If you want to come up, well, not you.
I mean, you already crushed it.
Jeff crushed it.
I crushed it.
I would love to see someone wrapped at that slow beat.
There's not one freestiler in the house.
We're not going to roast you.
Is that the Tarantoneanian?
This guy can't get enough
in the filming up here.
I thought we had security
in this venue.
Wait,
sir,
could you toss yourself out of here?
What is it?
No,
no, no,
you're not going anywhere.
No,
Hey!
Hanford,
what's your name?
Give it up for Casey.
Casey, with the Hanford.
Casey, Philbauer you want.
I was just fucking with it.
Casey just slipped Hanford
to fireball on the sly.
Casey, do whatever he want.
Casey,
you know what, you're welcome to stay in venue.
Yep.
Every show on the tour,
we announce one person who can stay in venue.
Yeah.
But for everyone else, you got to go.
Man, I only got one thing to say about that.
That's our show.
Follow us on social media.
At the sloppy boys.
Thanks, everybody.
We release these recipes ahead of time.
And if you can't get enough sloppy boys,
it's patreon.com slash the sloppy boys.
That's where you have put some coal in the engine
And folks, you fucking just wait.
That's how you get us back here next year.
Thank you, Detroit!
