Starting point is 00:03:24 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.
Starting point is 00:03:41 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
Starting point is 00:03:57 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
Starting point is 00:04:11 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,
Starting point is 00:04:21 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
Starting point is 00:04:31 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.
Starting point is 00:04:49 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.
Starting point is 00:05:09 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.
Starting point is 00:05:29 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.
Starting point is 00:05:42 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.
Starting point is 00:06:05 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?

Starting point is 00:16:51 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.

Starting point is 00:19:47 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?
Starting point is 00:20:06 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
Starting point is 00:20:19 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.
Starting point is 00:20:27 But then to be like, well, I've watched that a thousand times. What about Detroiters again? Yep. Yep. So funny. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:20:33 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
Starting point is 00:20:48 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
Starting point is 00:21:04 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?
Starting point is 00:21:22 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,
Starting point is 00:21:44 Possible drinks. Indeed. Robocop punch. Awesome. Bozooki strip club pussy juice. Oh, God. I wanted to say
Starting point is 00:21:58 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
Starting point is 00:22:11 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.
Starting point is 00:22:25 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.
Starting point is 00:22:39 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.
Starting point is 00:22:55 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,
Starting point is 00:23:04 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.
Starting point is 00:23:11 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
Starting point is 00:23:26 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
Starting point is 00:23:42 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.
Starting point is 00:23:52 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,
Starting point is 00:24:09 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,
Starting point is 00:24:23 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?
Starting point is 00:24:36 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.
Starting point is 00:24:51 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.
Starting point is 00:25:11 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.
Starting point is 00:25:33 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.
Starting point is 00:25:56 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.
Starting point is 00:26:16 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.
Starting point is 00:26:25 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,
Starting point is 00:26:42 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
Starting point is 00:26:55 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
Starting point is 00:27:08 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?
Starting point is 00:27:23 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...
Starting point is 00:27:38 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
Starting point is 00:27:56 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.
Starting point is 00:28:17 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.
Starting point is 00:28:31 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.
Starting point is 00:28:44 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
Starting point is 00:28:57 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
Starting point is 00:29:12 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,
Starting point is 00:29:34 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.
Starting point is 00:29:50 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.
Starting point is 00:30:07 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.
Starting point is 00:30:20 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.
Starting point is 00:30:40 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
Starting point is 00:31:03 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.
Starting point is 00:31:22 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.
Starting point is 00:31:44 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.
Starting point is 00:31:59 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,
Starting point is 00:32:14 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.
Starting point is 00:32:54 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,
Starting point is 00:33:11 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?
Starting point is 00:33:48 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
Starting point is 00:34:09 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,
Starting point is 00:34:27 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...
Starting point is 00:34:40 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,
Starting point is 00:35:15 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.
Starting point is 00:35:29 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.
Starting point is 00:35:44 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.
Starting point is 00:36:01 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.
Starting point is 00:36:59 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
Starting point is 00:37:23 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
Starting point is 00:37:48 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
Starting point is 00:38:03 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.
Starting point is 00:38:16 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?
Starting point is 00:38:38 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.
Starting point is 00:38:54 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.
Starting point is 00:39:07 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.
Starting point is 00:39:19 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.
Starting point is 00:39:32 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.
Starting point is 00:39:45 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.
Starting point is 00:40:08 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.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Ish. Ish. But it's got like a caramel toffee worthers. Yes. Toffee. That's what I like. Heath. I would never know.
Starting point is 00:40:33 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.
Starting point is 00:40:49 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?
Starting point is 00:41:02 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.
Starting point is 00:41:19 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,
Starting point is 00:41:32 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.
Starting point is 00:41:44 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.
Starting point is 00:41:54 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.
Starting point is 00:42:08 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?
Starting point is 00:42:17 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.
Starting point is 00:42:33 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,
Starting point is 00:42:47 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.
Starting point is 00:43:06 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.
Starting point is 00:43:21 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.
Starting point is 00:43:38 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?
Starting point is 00:43:54 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.
Starting point is 00:44:12 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.
Starting point is 00:44:24 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.
Starting point is 00:44:36 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.
Starting point is 00:44:47 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
Starting point is 00:44:58 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.
Starting point is 00:45:17 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.
Starting point is 00:45:37 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.
Starting point is 00:45:54 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
Starting point is 00:46:09 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?
Starting point is 00:46:27 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,
Starting point is 00:46:34 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,
Starting point is 00:46:51 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,
Starting point is 00:47:04 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.
Starting point is 00:47:22 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.
Starting point is 00:47:35 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.

Starting point is 00:50:17 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,
Starting point is 00:50:31 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:51:08 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.

Starting point is 00:57:25 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
Starting point is 00:57:55 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.
Starting point is 00:58:12 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.
Starting point is 00:58:36 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?
Starting point is 00:59:06 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.
Starting point is 00:59:20 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.
Starting point is 00:59:38 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
Starting point is 00:59:54 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?
Starting point is 01:00:19 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,
Starting point is 01:00:31 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.
Starting point is 01:00:41 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.
Starting point is 01:00:56 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.
Starting point is 01:01:06 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
Starting point is 01:01:14 High Life. Hey. Can you tell us how it is? It's sweeter. Wow. And? Pretty good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:26 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
Starting point is 01:01:40 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
Starting point is 01:01:56 222 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.
Starting point is 01:02:06 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.
Starting point is 01:02:20 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
Starting point is 01:02:33 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
Starting point is 01:02:44 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
Starting point is 01:02:57 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,
Starting point is 01:03:13 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.
Starting point is 01:03:29 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.
Starting point is 01:03:47 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
Starting point is 01:04:04 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.
Starting point is 01:04:33 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?
Starting point is 01:04:46 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?
Starting point is 01:05:01 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.
Starting point is 01:05:11 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.
Starting point is 01:05:43 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.
Starting point is 01:06:49 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
Starting point is 01:07:04 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.
Starting point is 01:07:21 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,
Starting point is 01:07:37 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.
Starting point is 01:07:50 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.
Starting point is 01:08:04 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.
Starting point is 01:08:23 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.
Starting point is 01:08:36 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.
Starting point is 01:09:12 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.
Starting point is 01:10:49 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.
Starting point is 01:11:31 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.
Starting point is 01:11:58 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.
Starting point is 01:12:09 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.
Starting point is 01:12:50 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.
Starting point is 01:13:06 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,

Starting point is 01:13:27 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?
Starting point is 01:13:43 2014. Damn. He missed COVID. Did you miss COVID? I wouldn't say I missed it. Stop. All right. Stop that.
