Starting point is 00:00:00 Oh, boys, I love it when the flowers are in bloom. Oh, Jeff, I can't agree with you more. Yeah, I love it when spring is sprung. Me too. I love when the Tweety birds are tweeting and flitting all around. I like it when the birds and the bees are getting it out. Oh. Mike, what do you like?
Starting point is 00:00:21 I love when the sloppy boys go on a spring tour, 2026. Oh, shit. Los Angeles, March 20th at Zebulon. That's right. Then we're going on to Phoenix, March 21st at Valley Bar. Oh, and then on March 23rd in Salt Lake City at Quarters Arcade Bar, D.L.C. Denver, March 25th at the Marquis. Then we're going on to Texas, Dallas. March 27th at the Texas Tea Room.
Starting point is 00:00:53 And then finally in Houston, Texas, March 28th at White Oak Music Hall upstairs. come upstairs. Then that's right, Houston. You love that Jeff did a cartoonish version of your accent when he was advertising a show to you. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Their ears perked up.
Starting point is 00:01:10 One of us. Check us out, live on stage, the band, the band, guitar-based drums, the band, the band. Some of these shows, we're coming back to Rocky a second time, and some of these shows, we're seeing you for the first time ever, and we cannot wait. I'm looking at you, Houston, Dallas, Denver and Salt Lake.
Starting point is 00:01:29 A Slophead never forgets their first time. So come on out, folks. It's spring time. Spring is sprung. Let's start this thing nice. Spring is here. Let's get sprung. Spring is here.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Jump and cheer. Spring forward and fall back to the Sloppy Boys show. Expand, ascend, and conquer and retain. We'll see you there this spring. Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton along with Michael Hanford. Hello. And Timothy Calpacus.
Starting point is 00:02:18 What is up? And we're your boys, the sloppy boys, fresh from our year and shows. Guys, how you feeling? Back in business, baby. I feel all right. Let's talk about Boston a little bit, huh? Okay. The lineup live with Mitchie?
Starting point is 00:02:33 That was wild. That was a fun night. And I remember it all that night. I remember it all. I remember feeling surprisingly spry the next morning. Now, you guys did the, you did the patches. Buki gave us some H2O, like patches you put on your arm. And I didn't do one, but I did feel pretty good too.
Starting point is 00:02:50 He said they were B vitamins, but the funny thing about those patches is he said like, he was like, wear it while you're drinking, but make sure you take it off before you go to bed. And I was like, well, we joked about like what it, that it would like. Too many B vitamins. It just looked like a little nicotine patch, but I had like B vitamins. But I will say, guys, I on after, on New Year's Day, I will go. up with the number one worst hangover in my life and I had left my patch on
Starting point is 00:03:16 all night so maybe those B vitamins I think you're asking too much of that patch that night though you can't hinge all your hopes on a weird snake oil patch Mookie gave you from the internet we should make PSAs that's like don't ask too much from the patch
Starting point is 00:03:31 what are you asking your patch? I saw I you put that patch through a ringer to him and I saw that patch in the garbage the next day and he was just like oh Oh, I put, I'm not, I'm not made for someone of that drinking capacity. Oh, we, the next day, we find like a stack of Polaroids that we're going through the night and it's like me and the Patch and they went down to China Town. The Patch is drinking with these buying shots.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Patch went down to Chinatown. Oh, Jeff, you went to Chinatown. We didn't really talk about Boston yet. We're talking about New York. Well, Boston, everybody kind of heard, right? Like, people on Pong for Boston. They didn't. Right. But just to get today's listeners up to speed, folks, we're back for 2026. This is our first episode back in the studio after having the end of the year. We did some live episodes and we played a wonderful show in New York City. We had a great end of the year, Falk.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Yeah, we had a great end of the year. That was great. Normally we don't like to timestamp the show, the pod, but there's just so much going on with us autobiographically with these shows and all the comings and going. You can't, yes, you have to. You cannot talk. about it. Boston was awesome. Boston was Austin. Boston was Austin. But you all know that. Fast forward two days later, we all shuffled over to New York City. Oh yeah. New York City. Didn't we just? And Tim, you know you're saying like you push the patch to the limit. I remember King Bitch in New York City. I think you pushed the auto tune to the limit on that one. Yeah, it's hanging on by a thread. I was like, man, they're really that the machine was smoking. It's like if you're if you're one note off auto tune fixes you. If you're three notes off,
Starting point is 00:05:15 it's hard. But this man is, they're only in the Western scale. There's only 20 notes. How is this man? The beginning, before the freaking New York show, Tim and I did the vocal warmup.
Starting point is 00:05:29 That's probably what did it. The voice was probably going way too much for the, the auto tune. It was like, you don't need me at all. Young, young, young, young, young. Yeah. That is a life changer.
Starting point is 00:05:42 I forget if we got to mention that before. Jeff Rosenstock and Chris Farron turned us on to an app called Vocal Ease for you. For me? Yes. And so you've got to, now we, before shows, we take like, it's long. It's like 12 minutes ago. Like, gong, yong, yong, yong, yong, go, go. But it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Like, you do feel your throat like warming up and being better. and then when I was on stage singing, there's notes like throughout the set that I'm like, oh, here comes that bad note that I don't think I'm going to get it. But there was no worry. There was no, it was all ease. And also at the Mercury Lounge, come on.
Starting point is 00:06:22 You got to warm up. Legendaries, the strokes, man. What a great staff. I got a shout out of the sound guy, Garrett. I've never shouted out of a sound guy in my life. He was great. No, we have. We've had some good sound people.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Oh, yeah, we have. But we have. And we'll hopefully do it again. No, that was a great show and we sounded great, but I thought that too, Mike, about my notes. And it's so funny that, like, this is a very sloppy voice thing that is, like, I'm burning with embarrassment and shame about it.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Like, we just had the biggest touring year of our lives. We played 50 shows this year. And for almost all of them, I was like, yep, voice don't work, can't hit the notes. The fourth last show, we tried using it. We heard about a voice thing. And the answer ended up being like, oh, vocal warmups. mean like what vocalists do what we've been told to do oh yeah does all right i don't want to
Starting point is 00:07:16 man but you have to boy i i i had a first at the mercury lounge new york show which was a total blank out i was playing a solo song by myself and i forgot the lyrics and then i just totally stopped and i was like what the hell is the next one isn't that weird when that happens like Because even though it's a song that you've played a thousand times this year, still those moments are like, fuck, wait, what was I saying? And it just makes you like for the rest of your life, it's like, well, that can still happen. So I got to make sure I know what the fuck's going on. Yeah, let you know how much of it is autopilot.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Like way more autopilot than you get doing live comedy. You get zero autopilot doing live comedy. But, uh, playing songs. Like you can get lost. It's almost like driving on the highway. And then you're like, wait a minute. Fuck. I miss my exit.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Why do I visit a guitar in my hand? It is weird to then be like, oh, I was fully mind wandered. Like, like, I'm on stage in front of 150 people singing a song. And I'm like actually literally thinking like, hey, I wonder tomorrow if we're going to go to dinner at that restaurant. Tim, you were saying that. I'm back there like, why does some cars look like weird wet, pretty clay? Oh, you said as a video on that, Jeff, I still haven't watched it. It was just funny to see.
Starting point is 00:08:33 another person go through exactly the same steps. Yeah. Now, now some colors it doesn't hit me, but this one does, and this one definitely does. And like, he went through exactly the same.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Like, okay, it's not this, but it is this. It's not Matt. Matt's different. This is glossy, but it looks different.
Starting point is 00:08:51 There's, there's something in the social media era that we're still in, I would say, that it feels like things like this, like, there's a tone of like conspiracy, not that this is a conspiracy,
Starting point is 00:09:01 but there's a like, what is happening? Why is it happening like this? Have you all noticed that this, this and this is happening? Well, here's, it just, the whole internet makes me feel like there's somebody, uh, behind my back all the time doing sneaky stuff. We live in very manipulated times, Mike. Manipulative. Interesting. Oh my God. I feel like. No, he's right. Tim, no, he's right. Society pod. I'm right. Society pod. That's good. Society boys. We would get way more hits, way more hits as society boys than Slashiety. Bobby boys. Well, let's change the name. I think we've also like, each year we've sort of decided like this year it's, um, expand, ascend and conquer and retain.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Then the next year was the new classic guys. I think we're ready for a new new persona. The sloppy boys, the society guys. How about, how about this? The sloppy boys, just the right amount of professionalism. Oh. Just the right amount. Catchy.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Yeah, I don't know. For me personally, last year, my goal for the year was to make sure I was only speaking my 33% on the pod. And congrats on a sheet. I checked in, yes. I hit exactly 33%. I've decided in 2026, I'm going to scale it down to 32%. To what? Scale it down to what?
Starting point is 00:10:23 Sorry, the people were cheering so much. I'm going to roll it back to 32% and forfeit one more percent to you to whoever wants. And that just goes to charity. That's nice. And I'm going to be sort of like the strong silent type during that 1%. Yeah, it's funny. The strong silent type doesn't really work on podcasts quite as much as Gary Cooper. I wanted to bring it back to the New York show.
Starting point is 00:10:48 First of all, what a show. Yeah, we rule. When you look at the pictures, I'm speaking specifically about the pictures taken by my new favorite slophead Joe Salinas. Ooh. AKA track package on the Discord. You seen these photos? Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Yeah, nothing like a tall guy standing right in front of everybody, taking pictures with a giant camera all night. He was funny about it. I like that it was just like, yep, that's going to be the deal. But it was worth it for the great. He also was with, he was with like a wife or a girlfriend who was shorter than him. We were like, who's the first time here? And it was the girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:11:22 I was like, who you're here with? And she pointed the big guy. I was like, oh, so you're here with a big camera guy. He was the stand right in front. And there was another camera guy, and they were kind of dueling and working together. Oh, yeah. Hey, hey, dueling guys. Send in your stuff, man.
Starting point is 00:11:35 It was it, yeah, really? It was a moment where they kind of looked at each other. We're like, hey, we're the camera guys here today. Game recognized game. I think when we did the countdown and played a long line sign, I thought I saw them hugging. I actually do. They probably were hugging.
Starting point is 00:11:51 That was really funny to do odd leg sign. Hey, we're the two camera guys after all. It was like an 845. Look at us. A couple of shutter bugs. But that was cool because we were like, We were like leaning into the crowd and he was like leaning into the stage. You see the pictures.
Starting point is 00:12:06 It's like, damn, he was really getting up in there. Yeah. I love when I like pose or like goof for the crowd and then no, I hate when someone I do that. And then no one posted. It's like, well, I messed up the song because of that. I missed some notes, of course. I was doing it for the digital clout. I was doing it for the Benjamin's.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Hey, but the three of us looked cool as hell in our three different colored suits that we just fluked. We said let's wear suits and then I wore black, Mike wore green, Jeff wore white. We look cool as hell. Oh, Mike, I stole your white jacket. I still have it. Oh, that's okay. That was the linen jacket. It was a linen.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Yeah, I wore that for the John Lennon. When I would do that live, I think I would wear that. Oh, nice. Live. You wearing it around? I am going to wear it around. It's a woman's, it's like a woman's coat, like a linen, like coat that probably goes along with the pants thing.
Starting point is 00:12:58 It's got shoulder pads. It's got shoulder pads. So you feel a little. Yeah. It feels good. A feel a little 80s vibe. Now, Mike, this was another one of your famous love them and leave him wardrobe items where you wore that green suit on stage.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Oh, yeah. It looked great. And you said, that ain't coming home with me. That's staying here. That ain't coming home with me. This is the venues problem. I've had that suit for a couple years. I've worn it enough times.
Starting point is 00:13:22 It was a $50 suit on Amazon. And it does not fit well in the thighs. Like, it's like loose in heat. I remember seeing the thighs were. thighs were tight and everything else fit. It's like looser in the looser of the waist, tighten the thigh and then looser again the knee. It's like, well, what happened
Starting point is 00:13:38 to here? Which is funny because you're not like an ample hipped man. No. It's poorly designed suit. I think that's why it was 50 bucks. But I, yeah, I left it because it was like starting to rip and I said, I don't need to do this in again. It's not worth wearing.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Night of that show, I had lost I made it home just fine. We all did. We always do. But I lost my wallet, my jacket, and my sunglasses. Three key items. And next morning, I was, Tim actually found my wallet. So it was down to me to find the jacket and the sunglasses. I made it back to Mercury Lounge.
Starting point is 00:14:12 It was down to me, the owner of the stuff. Of all people. The owner of the very replaceable items. All coming down to me. And luckily, Mercury Lounge, I show up, buzz the door. They let me right in. I was expecting it to be a problem just because security was kind of tight. night we were played. Yeah, I mean, the sloppy boys are playing, you've got to protect us.
Starting point is 00:14:35 But, uh, we had a lot crooks come in. He's like, yeah, yeah, jacket. Come on, come on. And he brings me back. And I think finally, I found my jacket. And he shows me a green jacket on hangar. Mike's. This is like the bomber jacket episode of, uh, ha ha, my bollas. Um, and so I was like, no, this isn't mine. He's just like, no, sloppy boys. And I was like, no, no, that's, no, that's not ours. Because I didn't. want that jacket coming back with me. And then he said, all right, well, you know. And then I was about to leave and he said, oh, I got more jackets over here.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Sure enough, Jeff's jacket with his sunglasses in the pocket. They're right there. That's the best feeling when you see it. And you say, yes. My bomber. Oh, can I bring up something going back to the Boston episode? See this shirt I'm wearing? Worcester.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Worcester Hot Dog Safari. Worcester Hot Dog Safari. Safari. This was given to us by some guys. I forget their name. But the hot dog Safari, I looked it up because they told us at the merch table and I was like, I can't hear you. Thank you for the shirt.
Starting point is 00:15:42 It's an annual, it's a day restaurants and chef competition raise money to fight hunger and fun local food assistance programs in Worcester and New Orleans so far. But I just want to give that a shout out. Hell yeah. Sounds like a fun event. Can I also shout another thing out? you guys remember this stuff oh yeah
Starting point is 00:16:02 righteous vice is coffee baby righteous vice is coffee this is from the guys in way the headband Marshall and Adam and Marshall came well who does who works it there
Starting point is 00:16:12 Adam or Marshall Adam? Well Marshall was there too you must say well I will admit anyway they gave us this too love that stuff thank you very much
Starting point is 00:16:22 folks if you give us stuff and we like the stuff we'll shout you out Well, I want to give the biggest shout out of all time. Do you guys know what we're about to go get up to the three of us, sloppy boys? I have a little bit of an idea. Oh, baby, we're going on a ski trip to the Swiss Alps.
Starting point is 00:16:46 I can't wait. We are going to be skiing. The three of us, my gosh. Yeah, and it's all thanks to Badger Bev's. Even the travel hater himself. Yeah. Even the little travel hater himself is going across the ocean. Even your little dutty buddy is excited to go to Zermot.
Starting point is 00:17:04 He's never left North America and now's the time. He's pumped. Hey. Really? You've never been to Canada? North America. That's North America. That's North America.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Yeah. I consider that North America. It's funny when you, I kind of love that about this trip that we're just going to, we're just going to Zermat, Switzerland and we're just going to be in this one spot. And I think that's right for this trip. But it is funny when you have that thing where you, if you've never been to Europe, you kind of think like, I think I'm supposed to do London, Paris, Rome, Athens. You know, like, do all of it.
Starting point is 00:17:38 But you'll get, you'll make your way back. You'll get bit by the European bug. I'd rather settle in. Yeah. I want to settle into the lodge, the Opre. I want to do all that stuff. That's the thing is. I think those sightseeing trips are more educational than fun where we are going to be Opry ski boys.
Starting point is 00:17:56 They're for the blue. hair's man they're for the you know getting the tour bus with the old old retirement group from Florida this is this is a wild child we should do wild child that's funny I haven't heard blue hairs in reference to old people in a long
Starting point is 00:18:10 I know because it's like blue hairs is a young people I think blue hairs is like because of the spray that they put on or something it's like hair and I turn it to it made it hold or something the video we were watching I've been watching videos on just go
Starting point is 00:18:26 TikTok and write Zermat and you see so many people. You know, every time you're like in a vacation spot and you see somebody like just holding up their camera and you're like, this loser. Just enjoy it. It's like, well, I like that they are doing this because it's helpful to me. Also, that's not a loser thing.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Meil and clean that up. Winner. You know who's a big winner is a, uh, uh, uh, uh, Badger Bev's. Rick Steves. We got to watch Rick Steves do his traveling in the Alps. Uh, yes. He's done a whole series about the Alps and he goes back like all the places Rick Steve's the travel guy covers he goes back like every year to be like yes it's still nice here that's good he's accountable
Starting point is 00:19:05 he's got integrity timeless integrity like us um hey one thing about Zermott i just looked at the weather and cold the weather after my my little i was freezing my little nuts off in new york city i'm woefully unprepared for Zermott so i spent the day scrambling trying to get like a jacket and snow pants and a hat. How'd you do? Um, good. I, I didn't exactly have the deep discounts I was hoping to find after Christmas.
Starting point is 00:19:36 I guess it's ski season, so it's like, it's not post, you know. I walked in there like a big fat, juicy mark. Yeah, they saw you coming. You're like,
Starting point is 00:19:45 I know, I need everything like a little bit. I know. I kind of did. Like, I'm used to, I grew up in New Hampshire and I grew up skiing until basically college, until, you know, it wasn't something my parents paid for.
Starting point is 00:19:59 And, but when you're growing up in New Hampshire, there's a whole bin of hats and gloves. And they're just for the taking. Yeah, right, right, right. Hats and gloves around. And now I'm like, $70 for gloves. I'm not buying those. Yeah, especially because all that shit, I always picture, like, the cool version of it. Like, yeah, I get some boots and gloves and a scarf and a hat.
Starting point is 00:20:21 And, like, everyone I picture is the one that's like the showy, yuppie version. You know, like, I don't wear any Patagonia, but when I'm at RIA, I'm like, maybe I'll get a Patagonia. I'm like, $400. What the fuck you're talking about? Yeah. It is amazing when you see the prices on some of this, especially like outdoor stuff. You're like, whoa, this backpack is in, is too much for anybody.
Starting point is 00:20:41 I'm going to show you a jacket. I found it's a Fial Raven jacket. Are you familiar with Fial Ravis? Yes. I never knew how to say that. I like the little signal. So this wouldn't actually work for me because it's like, it's a fat puffer. But I was doing all this stuff and I was like, looking at.
Starting point is 00:20:56 black jackets. Yo, man, I'm a bit of a fat puffer. But like, look at that. You look cool. You look like Drake. I mean, it looks awesome. It's like mustard on the inside and olive on the outside. Mustard.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Mustard. If you lived in like Boston or New York, you'd buy one of those. But you're right. It's like insane to spend $400 because you would never wear it, I don't think. Yeah. So it was a challenge, though, to, I was sending you guys picks like, do I go black jacket or do I do colorful jacket? Oh, what did you get?
Starting point is 00:21:25 Yeah. I got colorful jacket, but not the one you saw. So you'll have to wait and see my killer, I pray trip. But you got snow pants as well. Yep, they match too. That's what I got to get. I got to get some windbreaker thing. I even did the bib style, the overall style.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I wanted to feel like gear. I want to feel like I got gear. Yeah, that is fun when it's like you got snap some stuff in and go. Let's fucking go. it would be fun to kind of, you know, we were saying like not, we're just going to one spot.
Starting point is 00:22:01 It would be fun to take advantage of like how small the town is and be like, oh, maybe we will do a day of like, go on a chocolate tour if they have something like that. Or like take the train all the way up to the very, very tippy town. There's a little place with igloos and stuff over there.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Mont Blanc. Oh, yeah. Like a little igloo bars and stuff. We're going to find out where that is. Oh, I would love to do a kind of monorail thing up to the peak. of the mountains. And they have some, I forget what's called, but I think, I think that that peak is called the like Gorgonglot or something like that. That's the other funny thing, he's all the words or so.
Starting point is 00:22:36 They're crazy, man. It's funny because I've been looking, I've sent you guys some links, but I follow an Instagram account that's, I think it's called vintage Wall Street or whatever. Zanian Zermot. Wall Street memories or whatever, but it's a lot about 80s, decadent Wall Street. Yeah, yeah. They've done a few, like, carousel posts of just like, the Swiss Alps pictures from the 80s and the opulent wealth and stuff like that. So I've had this image of my head of like
Starting point is 00:23:01 an 80s ski trip. And then Mike, you've said like, oh yeah, there's bars where it's like you're skiing and halfway down you stop and you have a drink and keep going. I had a certain image in my head of it. But then when you sent us a TikTok reason that I'm like, oh, this is like these, some of these bars are like. It was like a house DJ like a European.
Starting point is 00:23:20 There's a clubby. It's like Ibiza. A clubby club. Yeah, yeah. the like during the day on the slope like on the slope like you can see it's dark it's only dark inside dark enough to see the lasers and it's like dusk that's that's gonna be fun we're gonna extend this trip it's gonna be too fun yeah man i'm i'm so pumped um yeah i'm afraid i'm gonna be cold but i did get a solid jacket and snow pants and the rest i'm filling out with amazon cheapies nice smart
Starting point is 00:23:49 I just layer up. Yeah, that's the point. I might take a peek in Target because Target is cheaper than I even remember. Last time I went to Target, I was like, oh, that's why everyone goes here all the time. It's so, the clothes are so cheap. Yeah, fuck, I should have done that.
Starting point is 00:24:02 But you still return that stuff, Jeff, after you wear it. No. Yes. He's going to do that. No. It is fun, though. Well, you're just going there and seeing. like European people and seeing like
Starting point is 00:24:21 oh yeah there there are styles like their ski styles are more like just brands you've never heard of or like oh I never see that logo but everyone seems to have it interesting to me yeah we also got to get some fondue some cheese fondue yeah man I'm so curious to see
Starting point is 00:24:38 yeah like what is the stuff like we've been on this podcast we've been talking for years about doing like a ski lodgee vibe but we've been saying like oh let's do a a residency in Aspen or like I've only ever pictured it being like Vermont or Tahoe or something. The idea that we're actually going to be in the Swiss Alps is so much more legitimate than anything I thought we would do. Then I don't even want to bring in like my idea of what I just want to like go with
Starting point is 00:25:03 the flow and make friends and be like where are we headed? Remember remember in Phantom Thread when they're on their honeymoon maybe and they go to like the Alps? They might be the French Alps but it's going to look a lot like that. It's going to be cool. I can't wait. It's going to look a lot like that. It's going to look like that. Well, damn, dudes, I'm super pumped for that.
Starting point is 00:25:24 And hey, reach for the badger folks. Badger Beves. Rang. They didn't ask us to say this, but this is just me, my personal opinion. Fevertree fucking sucks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, yes, this is true. This is all very true.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Badgerbeves. That was just a personal note. That was a personal note for me, Tim. Here's another personal for me. I love Badger Babs. I do. So reach for the Badger. And let's turn our attention to Boo's News.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Booz News. Hit it. Like actual music. Actual mashups and mixups and stuff. Not just like the sloppy boys. Who that bass Yuppie Man remix featuring Lamar Woods was sent to us by Ian Bauer
Starting point is 00:27:22 The Bauer Turbo And if you have a booze news theme Email it to the sloppy boys podcast Atgmail.com That was cool, man. That had some funk to it. That was very good. Have we met Bauer Turbo in real life?
Starting point is 00:27:38 No one has. He sort of stays up. He has like a mansion on a hill and he never comes down. He got a little. all that money for making booze news themes, I heard. Yeah, we paid him a ton. It's sad.
Starting point is 00:27:50 He's become, you know, like, detached from society. He's a recluse. Plus, we're society pod, so he gets everything he needs to know about culture from us. You guys ever had this? You know, the term recluse being someone who, as we just described. But I, I, the word recluse makes me think of like reckless, like someone who's like, he's reclusive. He's wild, man.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Man, you two recluse. You're like, you make a wreck and it's a loose. You're loose about it. But we like you all the same, Bauer. If you, you make recommendations that you haven't tried for yourself, these wrecks are loose. Is that good? Get a little loose.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Yeah, there's something there for sure. Thank God. That'll do something for somebody. I think that's very funny. The idea of somebody being like giving out a lot of recommendations, like I've never been there, but I get this recommended all. lot. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:47 What's the actual booze news, please? Okay. This was big. Well, as I said, we're just getting back. We're just hitting the ground running from this year. But at the very tail end of 2025, while we were gone, while we were on a break, the last episode of Saturday Night Live of the year had a sketch about a cocktail. It was cut for time, but it made it to YouTube where it made the rounds on the internet.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Yeah. Jefferson hit the clip. Hi. I'm Panina Withers, and I'm here to warn you about a dangerous new substance affecting a vulnerable population, women in their 20s. It's turning our precious loved ones
Starting point is 00:29:28 into horrifying monsters, leaving them ranting, raving, and foaming at the mouth. The substance I'm referring to is, of course, espresso martinis. Cut the trip. So this is like, it's a PSA sketch, and then it does all the beats. It ends up being an ad for like espresso martini safe room where it's like you take like white girls and they calm down in a safe room and there's like, we'll give you a cardboard cut out of your boyfriend so you can take out all your issues on them from nine years ago.
Starting point is 00:30:00 We give you like a gay friend that you can talk to like a bit, bit, bit. But that was Ariana Grande hosting. Booze news. Don't you can just save that, Jeff. You got to play that. Now Jeff has to play the theme song all over again. We have to start it all over. No.
Starting point is 00:30:17 But I just thought it was interesting that like it's kind of the cool thing about having done this podcast a lot is in this, in the summer of 2021, we saw espresso martini be like, oh, this forgotten relic from the 80s, 90s is kind of coming back. And then it was like, we covered it on booze news saying like, oh, it's actually been on a lot of Bravo shows. Like they drink it on below deck because it wakes you up. And then there was a New York Times article about it. So just I feel like something being on SNL is sort of the official like that is has been crowned mainstream. It's done now. Yeah. And or that it's just like that's a reference that has been vetted that it's safe for all of American consumption.
Starting point is 00:31:01 You know, it's not going to be like a weird. Everyone knows what it is. Yes. You know what? We once joked about how like flavors have a trajectory like this too. Yes. Or just like for a while there it was like, ooh, chap. Potolet is like as the flavor,
Starting point is 00:31:16 but then the one I remember recently was ghost pepper and there was like there was like ghost pepper at fancy restaurants and then other places and then finally there was the Wendy's ghost pepper chicken thing and that was the end. What's the what's the current one? Like Nashville hot had a bit of a moment
Starting point is 00:31:34 but then I feel like smashburger were still stuck in. Smash burger yeah. Okay. Oh, let me tell you this. I just had a fucking great smash burger at this place. in the village called American Hamburger. That's what it's called.
Starting point is 00:31:50 No, Hamburger America. Go to that place, folks. Was it an old place? No, I didn't, it didn't seem too old. Oh, no. Well, the funny thing... You know, I think my grape with Smashburgers is they're all 10 out of 10 perfect. Everyone I've ever had is good. So I have trouble
Starting point is 00:32:06 as a foodie getting excited about a blogger talking, like comparing them when I'm like, guys, this is the easy, like, it's a perfect food, junk food, but it's also like easy to do. So like, there are five places in LA that have cute names that do them and I'm like, yeah, they're all perfect.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Yeah, yeah. 10 out of 10. That's part of the reason for this, uh, Zermot trip is just a, you're way too stressed. We need to get you just away from this smash burger thing. Yeah, right, but this guy can't get away from a perfect 10 out of 10 smashburger Jeff. We land in Zurich, uh,
Starting point is 00:32:38 or we're on the plane and they'll fight it. Then it says smash burger, sir. Oh, get me out of here. Is smash burger and the chicken sandos. The funny thing about a smash burger or not a funny thing it's a great thing is that fast food chains can't go, we have a
Starting point is 00:32:54 smash burger too because fast food chains don't take beef, fresh beef and press it into a grill. Like you can't replicate it at scale the way that a nice restaurant does it. People have tried like I feel like Jack in the box was just like, try our new
Starting point is 00:33:10 smashy burger. It's alive. The smashed Jack It's not a smash. Yeah, right. It's just like, because they come in frozen patties shipped nationwide. They're not smashing anything. You're not smashing a frozen beef fatty into a grill. He can't do it.
Starting point is 00:33:24 You can't jump the shark with it. Yeah. We should get some, we should get some, you know, some of those raybans sunglasses with the meta cameras and go into a, you know, what was it? Jack's in the box. Jack in the box. We go in the jacking the box and say, hey, yeah, we want one of these smash burgers. And you'll smash it in front of us, right? that'll get them
Starting point is 00:33:46 no we won't make anything in front of you whether than pour the sodas and scoop the fries okay well I guess I have to go back then and see the smashing because you said as a smash yeah sure just take off those glasses with the camera lenses on it no I can't I need them to see is what I'll say I'm doing an expose
Starting point is 00:34:04 I'm doing an expose you understand oh god well it's funny though with the flavors Jeff like yeah I think that espresso martini is one that like honestly organically happened. Like, um, I think that ghost pepper,
Starting point is 00:34:20 there's a little, and it went. I think it's here. You think, you think espresso went? No, no, it didn't,
Starting point is 00:34:26 it didn't went. But, I, I think, I think the ending of the espresso story is like, it is at a lot of bars in America. It is the most ordered cocktail. It's like kind of margarita level,
Starting point is 00:34:37 like most popular cocktail. And I think it'll just sit there because it has a purpose. It has caffeine. and oh I get them yeah I right yeah me too but I thought you know for it to be like an SNL joke I thought it was going to be buzzballs or something oh
Starting point is 00:34:52 oh yeah yeah well like I think um it is just funny though that sometimes ghost pepper for example like I don't know that ghost pepper pepper had like an authentic fan base that I feel like that was just a prediction made so like or even like beeria you know when you're like
Starting point is 00:35:10 dip in the your taco into a little cup of sauce. Like, that's a delicious food in Mexico, but it didn't really organically happen in America, and then just suddenly it was like at every fast food place, and you're like, I feel like just flavorists predicted this. It's just been foisted upon us.
Starting point is 00:35:28 But with the espresso martini, it did happen organically, and I know Bravo was a big part of it, but I think for me, I think we've read these articles about how like Gen Z doesn't drink as much Gen Alpha may never drink. And
Starting point is 00:35:43 millennials do do a lot of the drinking gen X. We'll pick up the slack. Yeah. And there's there's references to like millennials being the drunkest generation ever or stuff like that. But I do think. I can't speak to that. But I think there's something about the espresso martini being for people who are tired. And I think when you're 21, you're not tired and you're not trying to rally.
Starting point is 00:36:09 The millennial generation is tired, Tim. Believe me. We're tired of bullshit. Tim. Thank you. But I think it's no surprise that as drinkers as a whole age, that then the most popular drink is the drink that helps you stay awake, you know? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Because we're dead. To piggyback on what Jeff was saying, I think a lot of us are done with the bullshit. All this bullshit out there. Yeah. I got to agree with you guys that we're sick of all everything out there. It's all out there. It's enough.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Is that it for Boozness? Wrapping up. Hey Matt, came out this way, had to explain direct from Domingo. Kelsey's a friend. She's like my sis, but we did hook up, though. Very good. Well, with Boozno's out of the way, finally, and after all that lengthy shit chat, we turned our attention to a drink of the day. And this one I remember, maybe it's just recency bias.
Starting point is 00:37:12 but this one, this one, I know it. I feel like I know it well. Yeah, it was the two, 20205 was my year of the drink of the day. I don't want to blow it yet. I don't want to say what it is. Mike, you know what?
Starting point is 00:37:28 Yeah. I give you the privilege to say it. Folks, we're doing fucking undercover today. Hell yeah. Yes. Yes. Now these showed up on stage,
Starting point is 00:37:41 if I remember, if I recall correctly. In Indianapolis, that's right. We were in Indianapolis. During the break, I'm going to look up and find the name of the slophead who brought him to us. But she DM'd me, we've been saying like, we were going to follow up. And she DM me recently and be like, I'm that lady. But yeah, we were on stage at Black Circle brewing in Indianapolis.
Starting point is 00:38:02 And somebody started handing us, Undrabergs. And we did like, I think I had four. Me too. Full four. I had like two because I couldn't do anymore. I gave them to somebody. else. I said, no more of these. Before that, were you
Starting point is 00:38:17 were you guys familiar and have you like, do you have an image associated with his drink and who drinks it and where? Yes. I picture it in a very thick wood, dark wood, Germany type bar and it's in a band a
Starting point is 00:38:33 it's like in a bandalero up on the wall. Like like hanging from the back of the bar. It's a bandalero which normally holds what? Shotgun ammo? Shotgun ammunition or something? I think it's always Underbergs. Yeah, bullets, bullets. Bullets, bullets of some sort.
Starting point is 00:38:48 But, um, Underberg, folks, you know, it comes in a bag and like the bag is part of the bottle and the bottle's in a bag. Yeah. It's got sort of the, the, the, the, uh, the, uh, f like, Angostora vibe. The paper on the net, the neck. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the turtle neck. Except this one goes all the way up over the top and you twist it like a spliff. Isn't that fun?
Starting point is 00:39:12 Oh, Jeff. And it says right on it, after a good meal. So you know you're dealing with on digestibos. A digestive. Now, where are these come from? This is the same family as Furnet and what's the other gross thing? From Chicago, I can't think of. A general lord.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Yeah, and this one agrees with me more so than some others, but we'll get into that after Sips. Um, yeah, it's a, this one is a, it's a, the German version of his de jester. It's, it's like the family of drinks is a Croyder liqueur. And it's an herbal de jester made with like herbs and spices that you have after meal. But yeah, it is basically the German version of in Italy what they, like they have Amaro. And yeah, I think the Mallort is a Swedish warm wood lique liqueur. But I do think every culture kind of came up with their, their weird little stanky liqueur that they could say, this is one is medicinal? I was going to say
Starting point is 00:40:14 there's something across like regions and cultures here that's like why, who got this anisee licoricey, licoricey idea that it's got to be in bottled in liquid form? They all did. We've also found out that there's a whole lot of roots that taste like Star Anise. Like
Starting point is 00:40:29 this flavor masquerades as a lot of different drinks. Yeah. Well, for the full story on Underberghurberg herbal liqueur, why listen to me tell you about it? And you go straight to the source. Jeff, hit the track. Come,
Starting point is 00:40:43 this is a commercial. Come, come do with off the underberg. You pretty much get the vibe. I'm fucking with you. You can stop that. It's in 1846, Hubert U.S. Underberg created Underberg by combining aromatic herbs from 43 different countries.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Oh, wow. What year was that? 1846. 1846. But the number of countries is 43. Aha. So you always remember that, Jeff. 1846, subtract three.
Starting point is 00:41:31 You've got exactly how many ingredients. 43. Wow. And as for the 18, well, disregard that all together. Well, that's part of the year, you understand. That's part of the year, not the number of countries, you see. I feel like this mnemonic device is harder to remember than the original stuff. Yeah, it's not really that. Yeah, it's kind of stupid.
Starting point is 00:41:54 I need a device for the device here, Mike. Just remember, just remember this one. Well, to this day, the great, great grandchildren of Hubert Ounderberg are the ones overseeing the extraction and import of these 43 secret herbs. It's one of these secret ones. Let's be honest. After a while, they moved all the herbs to Germany and they just do it local. But they had to find the herbs originally scouring the globe, right?
Starting point is 00:42:20 It is funny that they're not saying 43 herbs. It would be enough. I feel like other things we've had like Chartreuse or Fernandez will go, wow, 40 herbs, but they keep bragging about 43 countries with this one. But yeah, other than the papariness, what's notable about is that flaky little bottle. Um, there is, you are supposed to, uh, not take it to the dome straight from the bottle. There's a special glass you drink these out of. It's like a stemmed, very narrow looking cocktail glass that you pour.
Starting point is 00:42:52 I have a perfect drop for this. I have a perfect drop. So you're saying, um, so Tim, you're saying, it's a sip and thing. Yes. It's a terrible thing to chug. Well, wow. As much as I enjoyed the production of that,
Starting point is 00:43:12 you do chug it. It's a one-shot shooter out of that. One-shot-stimmed glass. I don't know why having a stem thing if you're just going to take it as a shot. But these first came on my radar as like a thing a few years ago at like New York bars. Yeah, like behind the counter, the bandolier of them.
Starting point is 00:43:35 And then I just knew guys like collected the caps. and it became a thing that, like, you save the caps and you're showing off how many, I got a bowl of the caps or like people are like making things out of the caps. And then you can cash them in. You send them in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:50 I have a link. Like Pepsi points. Or a Coca-Cola Red Hot Summer. I remember that. That used to be a deal, man. Red hot so, which I'm remembering Pepsi points. I don't remember Red Hot Summer. What was that?
Starting point is 00:44:07 It was the Coke version, but I remember it was so good for a while. It was like one in three, 20 ounce coax, you just won another Coke. They were giving them away. What a cool. Maybe this still happens, but they're not marketed to us because we're not preteens and teens and kids and stuff. But like, that was so fun. Getting a soda and popping the top. My buddy had the Pepsi. Maybe it was Pepsi points. Maybe not. But he had like a CD booklet for like, you know, holds 15. CDs. I had the CD booklet. It was Pepsi branded. Yep, I had it forever. Oh my God. It's so funny. We used to have to, we'll look at all this stuff. Okay, Tim, you sent, you sent a hot link here. I sent you a link. This is the, the, the, the Underberg people, they now offer like a whole shop online of things. Like, it's actually really good stuff, swag that you can get if you send it. Like, I'm looking at this on, on page two, there's a Underbergberg weekender duffel bag that's like gorgeous. 996 caps. That's a lot of caps. These are awesome. I also love that it's not like, oh, get our tin signed,
Starting point is 00:45:17 144 caps or $36. Like they don't even give you their option to do money. It's caps only. It's only caps. Wow. This is cool. Oh, Tim, did you end up buying that jumpsuit, that underbird jumpsuit I set you?
Starting point is 00:45:34 I don't remember you sending me one. A link to an Underberg jumps. Was this recent or back in the day? It was recent late. Because recently when we were talking about you getting a, I'm looking at all this underberg stuff. It's, this is good stuff. Mike, I don't think I, maybe I was inebriated because I don't remember looking at that link.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Oh, it's, it's awesome. Let me see if I can find it. You talk, you tell your tale. Well, that's pretty much it. It's people save the cabs, people drink them. I also, like, they have these at, um, I've heard it's save the cap, but save you. the caps, Tim? Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Now that you've heard Save the Caps, which do you like better? Save the Caps. Save the caps. How long has this been going on? All right. I'm sending you a link to right now in the chat. Okay. I'm receiving the link. And Jeff, you may look to. Oh, and this one you can buy for money.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Well, they've got a lot of Underburg Sown, Underburg Dad Hat. Oh. Very nice. I kind of like this. sucks. 195 though for that track suit. Yeah, look at that.
Starting point is 00:46:41 A lot of, they got a hockey jersey style thing. If you get this, it looks like you're in Viagra Boys just immediately. I think I could pull off that look though.
Starting point is 00:46:51 I kind of got the body type. I think you could. I'm wondering how nice because when you see the picture of it on these guys, it looks maybe like it's kind of cheap material. It doesn't have like a,
Starting point is 00:47:03 nah. That's pretty much. That's pretty good material. meal. Yeah, material. So, as far as drinking this thing, did you guys just eat a giant meal that needs digestion? You know I did. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Now, I have a big asterisk with mine. I could not find any at any of my liquor stores. It was. Whoa. Yeah, I was walking into these places. I went to like four or five places into my house. And I'd walk in and say like, hey, do you guys have an underbreak? And each person looked to me like they had never heard that.
Starting point is 00:47:36 thing before. I was like, wow, this is really... That's so weird. I would think... And it was all... It was like, you know, crappy liquor store, wine and... Like, highfalut and wine and spirits. One place is just his, like, warehouse. He has everything. I couldn't believe it. So what I'm going to do is just... I've got all types of other bidders. But I looked up, like, on...
Starting point is 00:47:54 Reddit, like, what can you substitute for? People were saying, Phrenat. People were saying... I think it would be more like taking Angus Storris right to the dome because it's pretty harsh. well which like you also did recently did you not didn't didn't you yeah I just had it over the the holiday too so I can yes that's what it was but um you know what I see it more at bars than at liquor stores yes yes I feel like it's behind the counter at a bar with the weirdies and you know what's funny is I think that it it's not like classified as liquor so you can sell it without a liquor license
Starting point is 00:48:28 yes because there's a wine bar by me and they do have underberg oh I should have gone to like just my grocery stores I wonder if they would have it. Do you have any just bar bars by you? Mm-hmm. But it's too late now.
Starting point is 00:48:45 I can't go out now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd have to get my code on. Oh, brother. Are we, so what do you think? We come back and we crack these. We'll take a little break. Yeah, but here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:48:58 I'm looking at the packaging and it says like a, wait, I'm reading. It is a beverage and should not be sipped but taken all at once because of its strong herbal taste. Do we want to flick them out of the bottle or pour them out into shot glasses like they tell us to?
Starting point is 00:49:21 In the past, I've sort of Heinz 57 to this thing, just straight to the dome, just slapping at it. Flicky, flaky. But I would like to take this opportunity to do a small glass. I did what, well, recently, I was at the Red Line and Silverlick and such a, I'm a beloved guy over there. They gave me a free round of these. Free.
Starting point is 00:49:39 After my dinner. They know I like to digest. But they serve it there. They give you the bottle upside down in a like a frozen shot glass. So I have chilled a shot glass from myself. Oh, smart. I really like these little Underberg glasses, these high stemmed. It's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Did you see me yet, Jeff? They look like a big long stem wine glass with just a little shot glass at the top. a little shock glass up top. That's cool. We got to do something like this when we're in Swiss, Swiss. The cool thing about these is they're cheap. Like, Jeff, I gave you a pack of three that I found a cap and cork, which is a great place on the priceier end of things. And it was only six bucks.
Starting point is 00:50:16 So it's not like this is a expensive thing. I think bars used to have them for like a dollar. And they're 88 proof. Oh, that's what's crazy for this to not be, you don't need a liquor license to sell it, but it is 44% alcohol. Well, they're just so small. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:36 I think it's time. I got to go to the bathroom. All right, folks, we're going to take a little break, and when we come back, Underberg to the dome. Underbrunder. You got me, Plano. Back, I'm here prepping the Underbird tearing at the paper. You hear that?
Starting point is 00:51:17 What a tactile show, folks. What a tear. And I am going to, I've decided I'm going to, my first one's going to, be just Yeager Meister. I'm going to do, I've got the extra Yeager from the lineup. Hey. Oh. We got some Underbergs at the lineup too. Somebody gave me a sort of a Hanford handshake. Oh yeah. Oh, yes. Yeah, we did do those. Hey, I just dipped into our, um, uh, Instagram message and found, um, it's Amanda from Indianapolis who are first, uh, who brought
Starting point is 00:51:51 these to the Indianapolis show for us. Um, uh, uh, she's the one, who, yeah, we were discussing those in the holiday special, and that's what led to us doing the episode. But she says she sometimes messages us from Hand Holder, her cocktail consulting and event bar business. So folks, go to Hand Holder. And then also, I've got, while I was searching our DMs for Underburger, I came across some interesting stuff from other Slobeds.
Starting point is 00:52:21 I'll get into after we sip. After these first sips. Okay. are you poured out yeah look it's not it's not very much so this isn't 30 ounces that's more like i'm going to say 15 yeah i did this like it's it's i think it's 20 mls 2 thirds of an ounce yes it is 20 m l yeah so half a shot basically all right here we go i wonder if there's a thing you say for underberg prost prostit prosoporgo and we just shoot there we go mm-hmm it's a bitter I thought we said we were sipping these.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Falling in love is a bitter herb. I've only flecked them into my throat. That's a strong. I mean, I will say, they warn you it's a burn. It's meant to have a burn and it burns. But I'm into this shit.
Starting point is 00:53:17 I don't know what clicked for me, but whether it's Amaro or any DGST-type thing. Like the aftertaste of this, I'm not just bearing it. Like I loved with the 43 herbs that Hubert put together here. Did nobody get my bitter herb reference? I did.
Starting point is 00:53:36 I did. I was dealing with my taste. Bitter herb is that like a Hanukkah thing? No, I was doing the beginning of Ishtar that, uh, with those two guys. We should watch that for the blowout. Falling in love is a bitter herb.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Yeah. Falling in love is a bitter herb. Enough with herb. I haven't heard a hit song with the word herb in it. And then like the next shot is to be like, you're a genius. It's the best opening to a movie. It's very funny. We can put that at the end of the episode, I bet.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Yeah. I've tried to watch that movie once or twice and I've never, not that it's bad because it's known as like a bad movie, but not because it was bad, just because I just haven't been able to finish it, but I always watched that opening on, online. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:54:29 I got to tell you guys about something. There's something I was looking up before. There's something called Brazilian Berg, too. Let me look this up real quick. You know about this? Yep, I read about it on the Wikipedia. Well, talk, talk, my boy. Oh, is it related? It looks related.
Starting point is 00:54:46 Brazilburg. Yeah, like, it is the Ounderberg family. They expanded down to Brazil. And here's what's funny. remember in our Fernette episode or Fernandito, we've talked about how Italian Amaro is very popular in Argentina. And the German, what word was that, Croyd, Croyder is popular in Brazil. There's something about the South Americans love their D-J-S-Stefs. How do you spell Croyder?
Starting point is 00:55:20 I'm going to say K-R-E-U-R-A with an umlaught, U, T-R-A-A-U, T-S. E-E-R-L-I-K-O-O-the-U-L-L-O-L-O-L-O-L-O-L-A-R. And please type those um-lots. No, I, I, there's a hockey player whose name's Crieder and I, right from the get-go, it wasn't right, so I didn't even, wasn't even listening. Okay, you brought up hockey. I got to say, guys, have you watched?
Starting point is 00:55:43 He did rivalry go! No. No, not yet, but I'm hearing it's the best thing on, was it Netflix? Look, I love this when Tim is watching the thing you have it. Hey, how about this? Uh, uh, have you guys seen Marty Supreme? No. Tim has and you have it. I'm the, I'm the viewer. Tim saw Marty Supreme. Okay. The viewer has logged on. The viewer has watched the movie. Hey, you want to know the first movie I saw
Starting point is 00:56:09 2026? What? The fugitive, Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, hot on his tail. Wonderful. Very good. That's a fucking movie, baby. I haven't watched a full movie yet, but I put on, one battle after another. That's good. Here, here. To the Underberg. Mike's taking his Jaeger shot. Me,
Starting point is 00:56:34 bong. Well, I, as a film buff, am excited for you guys to see Marty Supreme because Mike, you mentioned one battle after another. Very similar films. One bathrobe after another. If we're going to be society pod, I think that we should be talking about how
Starting point is 00:56:52 The films of the year have common motifs. Yes. Yes. Yes. And what are those motifs? Ooh. Interesting. Supreme.
Starting point is 00:57:03 So Marty Mouser is the real guy, right? I don't know. I mean, his name in the movie is Marty Mouser. I know nothing about the real story. Oh, interesting. No, it's based on a guy, Marty Risman. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Interesting. Which one of them was Supreme? Marty Supreme is Marty Mouser based on Marty Reisman. What? Hmm? I don't like this one bit. How was the movie, Tim? I really enjoyed it, and I liked what I had to say, and it was interesting, and I wanted to talk to my co-host once they've seen it, so I can draw parallels between one battle after another.
Starting point is 00:57:44 The message was ping pong and can be exciting. Is it... Now, I've heard it's a comedy where you... you laughing at all? Do you like to laugh? I did laugh. I mean, I'm a Shalamee fan.
Starting point is 00:58:01 So I'm not, I wouldn't call this like, oh, comedy. But it's in the way of Safty Brother movies. Yes, it's, I mean,
Starting point is 00:58:09 it's very uncut gems. Really frantic pace, uh, type of, uncut jobs. The type of film. But, um,
Starting point is 00:58:19 it's funny, uh, for those are both A-24, right? What, Uncut John's? Yeah. No, Marty Supreme and one battle after another. Well, I guess Uncut Jems is two. I think so.
Starting point is 00:58:32 One battle is not, I want to say. Warner Brothers, I'm guessing. Yes, Warner's for that. Oh, okay. Right, yeah. One battle, I think, is battle entertainment, and Marty Supreme is Supreme Studios. It's ping pong films.
Starting point is 00:58:48 Pingpongfilms.com.com. bouncy rounder we're giving out the bouncy rounder awards here at ping pong studios in association with the paddle boys uh eped by martin mouser
Starting point is 00:59:06 I saw me making fun of guys for liking 824 and geese and uh there's memes about everything these days yeah I don't know. I mean, I didn't even, but it's funny. I'm not, I can't call myself an 824 bro, but I have been in a big geese hole. And then I, it's funny to just be like, oh, that, I am just the demo. Hong Kong. I like that band. Man, I saw, I saw a video that pissed me off. I mean, whatever. I don't really care. But it was like a reel where some, uh, young comedian was making fun of like, uh, you've gone back to this guy's house or whatever.
Starting point is 00:59:50 And it was just somebody putting on, I think you should leave sketches and being like, in this one, they're trying to find the guy who did this. Just making fun of like Tim Robinson fans. Which is like, yeah, I guess that's fair. You're kind of like, kudos to Tim Robinson for being. Right, zeitgeistina. As beloved by a generation that you can make fun of him in the same way that people make fun of like Radiohead and Weezer. Like, oh, all people like this like Radiohead. All people like this like, I think you should leave.
Starting point is 01:00:20 But if you're making fun of Tim Robinson or even his fans, you better make a damn funny video. Right. And this was not. Yeah. Wait, that wasn't just a meme. That was a video? Yeah, it was just somebody doing a reels thing of doing a reel of making fun of that type of guy. Mike.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Mike, your thoughts? I was going to say, I don't think that's so much making fun of the, you know, Tarantino. The man himself. Right. Or the project. It's more that type of person being like forcing something on someone who is, you know, maybe there for something else. Oh, you know what I mean? You know, maybe the part of the person he's.
Starting point is 01:01:01 So less Netflix more chill, you're saying. Yeah. Well, that's the thing. He's, he's Netflixing. Ah, but he's not chill. Do you remember when Mike we wrote for the Lonely Island guys produced Michael Bolton's big sexy Valentine's Day special? for Netflix. The production logo at the beginning of the thing,
Starting point is 01:01:24 Akiva wanted it to go like, Netflix, and chill! Because it was like a horny show. And Netflix is like, we don't fuck with that. We can't touch our thing. Oh.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Like our thing is our thing and we don't, we don't do these things. Oh, that's a vibe. I forgot about that. It's like, you know, every once in a while, you'll see the, like the Fox 21 or the 20th century
Starting point is 01:01:49 Fox logo and it'll turn into like it'll look like it'll like you'll go up and then you'll see Batman's stuff I don't know but it's like oh that's that's cool when they do that it is cool when they do that because like they used to be so sacred and nobody would ever fuck with their thing but then I saw like um I want to say it was Kingsman or something like the Columbia the Columbia lady beating the shit out of guys Kings well that's Kings that's Kingsman for you that's Kingsman it's a little different on Kingsman ain't nothing off the table I think Kingsman is that like kind of an old an adage known about that
Starting point is 01:02:23 oh yeah Kingsman oh yeah eggsy come on you got to see eggsy man oh the Kingsman I love that movie I gotta watch it again I'm unfamiliar with it
Starting point is 01:02:33 and then the golden circle Kingsman's golden circle or something like that Mike saw one and two we saw one and two in theaters Tim take it away you don't know the Kingsman but that's okay
Starting point is 01:02:43 Akiva finally had his way with the naked gun film because the Paramount logo at the beginning. One of the stars knocks a fisherman off the boat into the water. Ah, very good. How about, like, the beginning of the Indiana Jones movies would always work
Starting point is 01:02:58 the Paramount Mountain into something. That's cool. Get off my plane. Get off my whip. You switch the samples. When we make our movie Nasty World, I don't want you guys to fuck with the sloppy studios logo at the beginning of our movie Nasty World.
Starting point is 01:03:17 I won't touch it. I was going to have one of the lights smash and go, and then fall and go, like it's a little fucked up. It looks professional, but then it's a little fucked up. Well, what if one of the lights kind of comes out and hops out and crushes one of the letters? That could be kind of cool, too. What is up? We were doing that over the weekend.
Starting point is 01:03:46 I always thought that was Ewox. What is that? I just think of it as like battle, like a, I think of it as like a horse, a Viking type, I don't know. It's just a battle call. What about a battle call, but it's kind of in a fantasy type world. Monty Python Holy Grail has some kind of like limp, trumpetty bugle announcements. Oh.
Starting point is 01:04:13 I mean, he's like, the curtains. Yes. That part. All right, I'm having a, I put a little, a few peychodes bidders in here. I'm going to take a little shot of this. Oh. Oh, straight payshodes. Oh, he almost gagged.
Starting point is 01:04:29 That's not so good. I also brought a little charreuse. Hey, that's my stuff. Dipping into all the little weirdies on a show. All my little weirdies. Hey, it's no Lixardo del Santo, but it's okay, that stuff. Do we do a second round here? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:45 I'm feeling hot in the face. How about you guys? Yes. I'm feeling like my, I'm not, yet digested, I need one more to fully digested. Right. Yeah. Oh, and to leave a guy half digested, is there any worse crime?
Starting point is 01:04:56 That's no good. Oh, it's, girls don't leave a guy digested. Half digested. Oh, no. Tim's got blue intestines. Okay, we cracking it? Yeah, well, should we take a little break and then come back? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:14 Yeah, you're right. Let's adhere to the format. Adhere to the format. folks we'll be right back after we take a break and then we'll continue adhering to the format back underbergs in hand and this one I'm just going to clap out of the bottle like I used to do yeah I'm gonna flicking flakets not me I'm doing shartrue I'm sure truzy I'm getting while you guys shartrue do that over there you flicking flak I'll talk about what I'm doing I'm getting chartrusie yeah my time is very shartruzian over here well you prepare shots
Starting point is 01:06:07 this other things I found in my DMs. We've had a guy named Shimbo in our DMs for years. I know the slophead and he's been recommending we do an Underberg episode, but he says he does a shot that's Fernette and Baiju and Malort and Undurberg altogether. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Wild man. Biju is that is that crazy yeah, Wuliangye. Yeah. The Chinese stuff we had. Probably the harshest thing that we've ever had on this podcast. Chinese. Yeah, that was too much for me. Those are all, I guess, after dinner things that are roto-ruder for food.
Starting point is 01:06:46 But here's something interesting from Slophead Troy. This is from about a month ago. The Troy boy? Yes. Are you guys familiar with the Underberg game? Everyone cheers and drinks an underberg. Then everyone checks the number on the bottom of their Underberg and the highest number has to pay for them. Oh, that's cool.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Okay. What's the number on mine? Oh, like on the actual glass. Yeah, there's like a serial number. Oh, no. Mine says 21. Just like a big old fat 21 right there. No, my other one says 47.
Starting point is 01:07:22 51. They're all different numbers. I guess you guys got to pay for mine. We don't know if it. He's got 51, though. So he would win if it's. Looks like you're paying for mine. Well, he won.
Starting point is 01:07:37 Oh, well, we're not doing that. All right, round two, ready? Wait, which one is empty? I can't even tell. Hey, bags off, caps off, let's go. Oh, you want to do an Undeberg nude? Could be a thing.
Starting point is 01:07:52 Hey, cheers. Hey, cheers. Here we go. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Ooh. Oh, see, I guess the downside of that is, as you're dumping it into your stomach
Starting point is 01:08:14 and it's welling, welling, welling up in the back of your throat. You really do have to sit with that underberg, huh? Yeah, you do. It's harsh in a way that these liqueurs make you real. Like when I was a kid, I thought black licorice was disgusting.
Starting point is 01:08:31 And I was like, I can't believe that counts as candy. But it's like, if the adults are having this type of stuff that burns, then black licorice is the same taste but mine is the burns. It seems like give that to a toddler. You're lucky to get black licorice if you're a kid.
Starting point is 01:08:47 You're lucky over Underberg. You get a little bit of a numb off that too. Like a numb heat warming sensation. I can't feel my face when I'm with und. Oh. Is that what he's saying? I think so. In Germany he has to sing it that way.
Starting point is 01:09:08 With uned. He has to like when he, like enters the country as a meeting with like he does a private little thing for the uh what does germany of a president or a prime minister of your here's a funny memory of mine i was and maybe i've said it on pod i was drinking one of these at the red lion and silver lake and a guy just the type of guy you don't want to talk to at a bar i get that a lot came up to me and was like are you having an undrberg and i was like uh yeah and he's like dude my my grandma used to give me those when I was a baby oh yeah you have mentioned this before
Starting point is 01:09:48 yeah yeah okay that grandma was giving 90 proof liquor to her baby I have a feeling this man was a liar that boys are liar um but it's funny with the digestive elements of any of these things you I can never tell like I guess I looked I googled and there's an argument to he made that this like helps with bile production or something. Good, good. I'm low on bile. This is perfect. I had heard that Furnette loosens the stomach lining.
Starting point is 01:10:23 Great. That's good to. The for now, I know the Frenet bottle in the Underburg, too, you could use the bottle. It's good for urethroel loosening too. Yeah, mine is getting tight, man. That's disgusting. It's good to have one of these skinny little bottles. That's disgusting.
Starting point is 01:10:43 I've had too many shots of bidders tonight. I have to take my, I have to retire to my quarters. I've had too much business tonight. This is on the topic of whether or not these worked for digestion, which I believe they do, but you know, anytime an alcohol thing, you can be kind of skeptical, just to support how weird the argument is on the Wikipedia page for Unduberg, it says like, the effects are known to subside digestive issues.
Starting point is 01:11:10 And then citation needed. and no one has put in a citation. No one's had that, no one's put in the citation. It's been in the country for over 160 years and nobody's confirmed that it helps with digestion issues. That's crazy. I bet it's got, there's too many scientists in the scientists world. It's like, hey, you got to go on there and like tell someone that this isn't, you know,
Starting point is 01:11:33 it doesn't work. And it's like, well, no, no, I'm not, I got to, I'm a, God want to be uncool, man. I want to be the guy that ruins it for everyone. I want to be cool. I want to be cool. when I was home for the holidays I did I was very into the I got my family to understand yeah my family doesn't drink much and then the around the holidays I'm the only one drinking the table but I explained I need an apperateef before dinner and I need a DJ Steve after
Starting point is 01:12:00 and my mom and dad are kind of on board for like Tim did you have your approteef because food in between yes and we watch movies I need a beer to watch the movies beer teeth. Yeah, beer teeth. I mean, I certainly believe in it. When I have too much food in my stomach, I have one of these and I feel fine. You got to believe in some. It's fun to have faith.
Starting point is 01:12:28 Oh, you got to have a fate, the fate, the faith. Tim, you ever think that like the underberg is maybe just like Dumbo's feather? You know, it's like, you could digest the whole time, but the underberg gives you the confidence to do it. you can innately do. Yeah, so my organs were just sitting there not secreting any enzymes or acids or anything. And then once I believed, I think you're right. You don't need the Underberg. You can digest all on your own.
Starting point is 01:12:55 Wait, now didn't you one time, you gave you gave me what you said was an Underberg, but it turned out to just be some water with some black food dye in it. Yeah, yeah. And then I drank that and I digested the whole Thanksgiving there. That also happens in Angels. in the outfield. Oh. Danny Glover
Starting point is 01:13:15 tells the boy, he got an angel. No, no, tells Tony Danza, he got an angel with you right now when he doesn't, but with the belief that there's an angel with him.
Starting point is 01:13:26 He pitches. He pitches perfectly. He's got pitch perfect singing. Pitch perfect pitch. Pitch perfect pitching. He's like, oh, as he's throwing it and Danny Glover's like on pitch pipe.
Starting point is 01:13:40 He's like, he's right on. Key. Danny, is that is that how we, the best use of our pitcher here? Angels in the outfield. Look it up.
Starting point is 01:13:54 That's our show. Follow us on social media at the sloppy boys. Did we give our review? Oh, God. Well, it's our first one back in a while. We're getting used to it. Well, we're the societal boys. Yeah. What do you guys care? You're not the structure guy like me. I walk around and the other structure guys just clown on me. It's an order again for me. It's a very fun one. It's a very fun like, hey, you guys want to do these?
Starting point is 01:14:18 Sure. It's fun because if people don't know about it, you can be like, you haven't done one of these? Check it out. And they're like, oh, it comes in a bag. And you're like, yeah, it comes in a bag. And you keep the caps and you trade the caps and you get a track suit. There's so much to know.
Starting point is 01:14:32 But it's a real opportunity to be an obnoxious type of guy that people don't like. And up, your number is lower than mine. You're buying. them all. Now, Michael, you tonight had Yeagermeister, payshields, bidders, and Chartreuse. What did you prefer the most? Chartreuse has more of the like, has I think what's closer to the underberg. It's got a little more of like the minty flavor from remembering it.
Starting point is 01:15:01 Oh, yeah. Well, you want that sweet sting, don't you? Yes, but which was your favorite? Favorite. My favorite was probably the Yeager, because it was like, the taste was subtler. Now, Yeager is disgusting to me, and I do it when I have to for my boys.
Starting point is 01:15:17 I do it for you guys. And I do it for all the listeners listening at home. And I do it to do a personal best at the lineup at Crystal Ballard. Personal best, that's right. That was a PB for me. But I will say the thing that almost made me puke when it came up to my lips was the Yeager Meister. So I can't believe, Mike, that you kept it.
Starting point is 01:15:39 and I can't believe that you willingly uncork that thing. I never had like a Yeager in college where I think a lot of people had it and was like where they over-served themselves, let's say, and got puky on it. So I never had that, excuse me, I never had that type of association, which I think is a big part of it. Do you feel like you've been robbed of sort of the rights of passage of American life?
Starting point is 01:16:03 Oh, no, no. I have sustained such a year. I never got to have that. Yeah. I sustain such a rich American life that I don't know. I'm fine. I'm fully fulfilled with my Americanness. But it's in order again for me.
Starting point is 01:16:23 Well, Jeff, how do you feel about your American life? Not so good, Tim. I will say it is a appointment shot because it would be weird to do it by yourself, I think. Not weird. What about after dinner? after dinner. Mike, like it's after dinner, you're all alone. Your food isn't digested.
Starting point is 01:16:42 What do you do? Your food's not even off the plate yet. You're laying in bed. Food is just sitting there. Not doing anything. I told you guys during my stomach problems. I feel like I would eat a bunch of stuff and I would go to bed and I'd wake up and it was,
Starting point is 01:16:56 it would be like I had just eaten. And I would be mad at my stomach like, the arrangement is I go to bed and you work, you digest. I work during the day. You work at night. Ah, yes, yes. I would wake up and I'd have like a belly full of food. Like, what did you do all night?
Starting point is 01:17:12 The fuck. Oh, you slept too. I think we made the same exact joke last time you talked about. Tim, what do you think? Let's get the hell out of here. I mean, obviously, I love it. This is my type of shit. I love it.
Starting point is 01:17:22 How can you know it? Yeah, it's an order again. Folks, I didn't give my final official final thought. That's our show.

Timmy St. Rock. You speak of Timmy, St. Rock. You speak of Timmy, was there an episode where we all saw how long we could hold her breath for?
Starting point is 01:18:49 Tim, you're trying to talk to through a burp there or something? What's going on? We're off pod. I can do whatever I want. Oh, yeah, yeah. This is all getting what. What are you all? I shouldn't have any indigestion after this D.J. Steve. I think that Underberg is sort of getting things going. Yeah, it's kind of sending
Starting point is 01:19:05 the burps up and the getting the other stuff on its way. Okay. Food, you go down this way. Burps you go up that way. You know this way. Food down. Burps, you're going upstairs.
Starting point is 01:19:16 Burps, all you burps. Get over here. Is he with you? Come on. It's here with you. Splitting up families. That burp is married to that food. It's just like, no, put the child burps in cages.
Starting point is 01:19:28 Get them out of here. That onion fume is married to that. Child burps. Oh, a terrible. thing to laugh about. And I wanted to give a quick little shout out before we say goodbye to Badger Beves. Reverend Guitars ever hear of them? The best guitars on Earth? Wow. Yes. Badger and Reverend, of course, we love you very much. I do. I got to say Ice Made Clear coming up there for me. But hey, let's not forget our friends, Zach and Elena at Franklin Park for showing us a great little
Starting point is 01:19:56 New Year's. We had a New Year's show that was like the day before New Year's. A bar in Brooklyn called Franklin Park. Go there. December 30th, we had a big show thinking like that'll be the crazy night. And then we'll have a nice dinner on New Year's. And we did have a nice dinner. But we had an early nice dinner and we drank at it. And afterwards, we went back to the B&B
Starting point is 01:20:17 and we had buzz balls and we had white claws. And then we finally went out to Franklin Park for the ball drop where Zach and Elena treated us like kings. We love them. Check out Franklin Park if you in Brooklyn, folks. Crown Heights neighborhood. Jeff, let me tell you, they're wonderful people.
Starting point is 01:20:33 I hate to do this. But I was over served on that night So I find them to be problem I find the Zach and Elena to be problematic Okay Ouch Sorry I'm going to be speaking to the NYPD
Starting point is 01:20:49 About their behavior Folks we love you See you next week And bring a friend why don't you Yeah it's about time you bring a friend Bye Goodbye Goodbye

Starting point is 01:21:24 Telling the truth is a dangerous tunnel. When you get out of that tunnel, you've got better herbs. It's a black life ahead. Forget herb. I never heard of a hit that had the word herb in it.
