What he is up? Oh, and we're your host, The Sloppy Boys. The Sloppy Boys. culture starts here. Think about it. Where else are you going to get the Brogan Bailey shirt? Where else are you going to get the sloppy squad shirt? It starts

here, folks. Thanks for picking those up. Thanks for wearing those around. Thanks for explaining the jokes to your friends. You make a good point, Jeff. I have been scouring the websites of other bands and podcasts looking for the Brogan Bailey shirt and I can't find it.

Not going to find it. They're not putting them out? I just can't find it. It might be a computer issue on my end. Did you take my bloody Valentine? I think they maybe announced they had new shirts. Maybe it's one of those. Yes. It's a damn cool.

Okay. They have the Loveless 40th anniversary vinyl release and yeah, broken Bailey T-shirt. Small, medium, large, all out of X-O. Hey, Loveless, not on Spotify. kind of a strange move. I don't know.

They have other stuff, but no loveless on Spotify. Not that I'm still on Spotify. I don't know much about that band. Is that like what their big album? Like, is that the one that everyone knew? Mike, if anyone brings it up, just say Shugays. That's what I was going to say. Is that the name of a song or?

It's a genre that and the only band I know in that genre is them. What is you? I've heard Shugays before, but like what's the, is the idea like you're just down and out that you're just looking at your shoes? They're looking at their pedals. No, it's like you're looking at your, well, well, I guess yeah, but it's, it's it's like droney, peddily

noisy. It refers to the band, not the audience. It's like, yes, and that the band is not, uh, you're not getting a charismatic frontman saying, you're welcome to the show tonight. The way, you know, if you go to a sloppy boy's show, you experience some hospitality like it's a, like it's a hillstone restaurant. Yeah, we're like, welcome in.

We should start our shows that. We have three showmen up there. Our shows are out of sight, folks. Come out to these March shows and then a couple more than a May. Yeah. And quite frankly, if there's any shoe gaze bands listening, we got three charismatic frontmen that could be kind of loaned out to your three shoe gaze bands and you finally get you on the fucking charts for us.

Yeah. Just send us the lyric sheet so we should be fine. Tim, who puts together, well, and Mike, who puts together his pedal board for every show. I don't know about the, I don't know how you'd hack it in a shoegaze band. I got the best compliment on my pedal board, which, you know,

very entry-level guitar gear, not that is bad or anything, but like if you walk into a guitar center, the pedals you see the brand is boss. Yeah. I was playing a show, and all four pedals of all of my pedals were boss. And I guys saw it and was like,

I like the Norm Corps setup. You're like, yeah, they're talking about sponsoring me, but I'm going to see how I like their stuff for me. Maybe spray steel sponsoring. He's the boss. I had a funny shoe moment today at the airport. I was coming back from Toronto. I'll tell you. Oh, whoa. Thanks for everybody coming out for Toronto shows. It was the stand-up special taping. I'll get into that. Oh, Jeff. Thank you. We'll get into it. And I want to say this. At the airport today, I walk by, I walk by the shoe shining area, right? and I walked by to get to my gate.

So where my gate was, then went past him again to get some food. And then once I got the food, went back to my gate, passed him with the shoe shine guy a third time. Each time I walked by, he was like, hey, can I do a shoe shine? I was like, no, I don't, that's fine.

I don't need it. He's like, but your shoes are so dirty. I was like, I know, but I don't have the cash. And each time he was like, your shoes are dirty. I was like, I know, but I like it this way. I'm a grunger. I'm like, I don't need bright, sparkly shoes

with like the jeans I'm wearing. I don't have patience to, notice someone twice when I'm doing my Hillhurst strut here in Los Feliz. Someone says, hey, would you like to sign this to help such and such cause? I say, you know, I don't have time right now, but best luck to you.

And then if they don't remember me on the way back and they say, again, I say, you don't remember me? I was kind. You don't remember my tail? What am I broken Bailey over you? Seems like no one remembers my tail anymore. What did I used to be small? Jesus Christ.

I'm doing it. I'm told. Yeah, geez, I'm not anything like Brogan Bailey. Ooh. I was going to a kind of a afternoon party where there would be children present, which I'm allowed to do. I have no legal restrictions on that type of thing. And I was walking out Albertsons and I saw a Girl Scout cookie table. Right.

And they were like, Girl Scout cookies. And I look and I say, you know what? I'll take one of each. And they're like, one of each. It's a real Diablo El Diablo Yeah, this lady This girl was happy as hell

But it's a fun thing to do at a party Because if you have a long You can say, I actually like these You're actually like hey the docy does Aren't that bad I think they changed the Samoa's They did change I had a thin mint the other day

And I was like it's lacking something It's something used to be more forward I don't know if it's the mint or the chocolate But it was a it had a Coke zero sense to it where I was like the flavor, I just can't grasp it and it's gone. It's like, it's the disappearing flavor.

What's the word is? It's not shrinkflation, but when they just make something with shittification. Yeah. I fear if that happened, that sucks. But another thing, Jay, is I've read an article that says there are two

factories in America that make these cookies and that there are slight recipes. If like you get from the Arizona one, you're like your Samoa has a little shortbread cookie at the bottom if you get from the New Jersey one, it doesn't Tim, I've heard this and in fact I know that some of the cookies are vegan

depending on your regionality because they use palm oil instead of butter. And weirdly, where all the vegans are and out here in SoCal, it's the butter version. Hey, oh. We've got all those palms.

We can't even seem to get rid of. now speaking of cookies which are fun to eat another fun thing to do is to perform a stand-up comedy special mic yes yes yes oh tim i was going to say speaking of palms imagine all those palms smacking each other after a great hand for joke yeah or or my palms are sweaty about to go on stage well you didn't eat your mom's spaghetti you ate noodle salad continue mike Yes, you saw, I got the noodle salad going. I got a box of cookies backstage from a one Mr. Jefferson, Dutton. I had some other gifts.

Okay. But we did two shows. It was so fun. The audience was like, they wanted me to win. You know what I mean? There was a few moments where I was like, I do a joke and I'd be like, hold on, folks, let me just do that punchline again because I didn't like the way I said it or something like that. Oh, wow.

They were all cool for it and stuff like that. Not a lot, like a few times. or every punchline and there was one time I was like oh shit folks hold on let me just make sure I got everything on that

and I had a written set I was like make sure I know where I am I know where I am okay dude that's cool I can't wait to fucking see that it was awesome man I was we shot with a little tiny crew Stony Sharp directed

remember Marco Marco Cordero from uh he was I think I met him on bang bang cameraman yeah cinematographer he was our DP and he was awesome.

I can't wait to show you like just what it looks like. It was neat. Two things. Jeff, how dare you big time me and send Mike a nice treat? And I didn't send him jack shit. But secondly, I actually thought I was a little like kiss assy. He's kind of a Hollywoodie guy. Secondly, I transitioned into to Mike talking about Toronto by saying he was talking about cookies.

So that would have been a good transition. Here's my question. you, Mike, about the stopdowns and stuff like that. Live podcasts with the sloppy boys, your friend Tim snaps at both of you. Anytime you kind of like talk to each other or refer to the live podcast being a podcast because I'm always like, no, no, the experiences in the room.

And then when you guys are like, we're going to take a commercial break. I'm like, there's no such thing. So now here you are doing the opposite and letting them have a peek behind the curtain. Would you say, I'm wrong? Did they stay warm? They didn't feel discluded by that. Yeah, I've always thought that attitude towards you was crazy. I don't know what you're thinking of that.

So given my own, when I'm on my own time, yeah, I kind of do whatever I want. But yeah. Whenever I do that, you guys kind of look at each other and you kind of go, coo-coo, coo-coo-coo-bur. Believe it or not, I think there's a middle way. No, no, because I was doing, like shooting it and like I really want it to be tight, tight, because I've been doing a set for so long. I was like, I can't flub one thing.

I've been doing this set for forever. So we have on sloppy boys gone like out of control with like stop downs and and over talk and stuff. Like when we first went out and we're like, we can't be doing that. We got to remember the people in the room. No, this stuff I can't be like just focusing on all these blunders, but it wasn't like a blundered filled show. The special is going to be very good. You trip on the stage. You roll around the whole time.

One more. I heard from Stoney and Carl. is fantastic and then you said it's fantastic so it is it is fantastic we shot some really fun stuff like for the intro too we got an outro we're going to shoot uh it's just really I you know I'm you I'm rarely the uh like the guy the boss who's like this is what has to happen I and my decision on this is this it's usually like oh I don't know we can discuss this later but I had to make a blue one yeah yeah hey in this special you wore a green lacost uh Polo shirt. And I was thinking, hey, two, two shows, one shirt, you're telling me under all those hotlights,

you didn't pit out. Tim, I, so I got up to Toronto like three days, three days, three days early. To help yourself get really cold before the show so that you wouldn't pit out. Well, honestly, it was so helpful because like my bed was kind of like whatever. It took me probably the day before the show, I didn't really sleep much. The day of the show, I was too excited. didn't, like after the show, didn't sleep that night. And then, like, just was overtired. Like, I haven't slept much. It's all just kind of been anxiety and, uh, running on fun fumes.

That's great. Uh, your question, Tim, about the shirt. Yes. Did you pit out? I was going all over town to find a replica shirt. A double. Yeah. I was like, fuck, fuck.

It was like the only thing I was really stressing about. And maybe it was that was my brain just being like, just, stress about this one thing. If you're just too calm, it's going to be weird. It's true because your brain's stressing no matter what, it's just like, it's going to pick a thing. How's it going to manifest? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I ended up just using the one and it

was like, I was really sweaty, but this was kind of like cost that maybe didn't pick up the sweat as much, but then I took it off like right after the show and put on right before I went to the second one. I do know what you mean about that. It's like the knit of that thing is not very liquid showy, but

it is funny because you text us a picture of the shirt. My first thought was I was going to say have two. And then I was like, Tim, not everyone is as sweaty as you. Other people have different lived experience. Also, Mike, you tearing off the shirt and then like hanging out and then putting it back on before you got on stage. I think of my friends, of the people in my life, you're the shirtless guy. I think I've seen you shirtless for more time than most. I think it is when I get to my house, like the shirts off. It's just uncomfortable. I don't know. When you take a shower, there's no impetus to get clothes on.

He's a drip dry. The shirt's off in the shower for just anyone listening who's confused. Always, always. Yeah, I let the air dry. I'm just kind of walking around. I do the thing after watching the Seinfeld where George takes the shirt off of the bathroom or to take a shit, I do that too. In not every situation, just like in my house.

It's such a funny Seinfeldian. thing too where it's like he takes his shirt off then he's looking at a magic eye and he gets so dazed out that he forgets to put a shirt back on you're like there's not really a correlation between magic eyes and memory yeah yeah yeah it was like a late season like kind of a those Seinfelds where they stretch some of those

more cartoony plots yeah what can I tell you though yeah I'm just so happy the whole venue uh the venue was cool comedy bar now we play the editing game snip snip snip bitch where the cuts come together. It's funny because I haven't seen much of it yet because it was so like breakneck speed of shooting the first night, then or the show night,

then the next day shooting all the intro, intro stuff, like just walking around the city. So I've only seen it like as the cards are loading up to the laptop and you see just like little blips of each like every 20 seconds like a stop frame. So I've just seen a little bit of like that, but none of the moves. Oh, this is exciting. Oh, Mike, the shirts.

You got some beautiful shirts for that. Mike Hanford Live in Toronto. Can people pick those up? They will be once Mike Hanford, Inc. gets its shit together. I've heard it's like pretty bad of their sort of like Enron type shit. Well, it's just a bad corporate culture over here. Yeah, exactly.

It's like, it's pretty toxic. We're staying late. People are we're 60, 80 hours weeks over here. You know, it's crazy. that sucks dude i'm sorry no i will get those up fun and jeff and jeff helped with it's a managerial issue i'm glad i'm glad you got uh you had a good story for shit chat because my my whole thing was i was going to do a follow up on uh deviled ham i never did i bought the deviled ham but i didn't make the same which i was supposed to do that today oh good good so so who's i bought the devil

next week folks big updates i think that counts jeff i think people be in the thrilled that you bought the devil damn you just still haven't done made the same culture starts here you know what that reminds me of you know in like uh in grade school if your class was giving presentations or something and it was like you do as many as you could fit for that period and then like if it was coming you're like fuck do i want to go now or do i want to like get the fuck out of here like you know do i don't want to do today but i got to have to do it first tomorrow well that's okay too because that'll be done oh that reminds me also like of our running gag uh like trying to get out of sports or like having kids try to get out of like practice or whatever.

You're going, oh, coach, I have to miss. Can I miss? My mom has to pick my sister up earlier than usual, so I have to miss. Well, that's it for shit chat, folks. We're going to turn into a little section called Booze News. Booze news hit it.

You ever have one of these fucking days where you're just like, I cannot get out of this like tired, Funk, Funk, Funk, Funk, Funk, Funk, Funk, Funk, Funk, Funk, Funk, Funk. Cortisol spike, cortisol levels. Cortisol funk, funk, funk, punk, fuck, punk. Cortisol blame, cortisol belly, everything else. It's all cortisol. I got a cortisol ass.

I had some cortisol in my tongue there, I think. Ooh. Cortisol funk was sent to us by Rick Tapper, and if you have a booze news theme, email it to the Sloppy Boys Podcast. email.com. Nice. Tapper. Tapper. He's had another one recently that we liked. Tapper.

Yeah, just last week. Tapper. Tapper. I really like his arcade game. Tapper. That's really good. Stop. Tap into Tapper on the sloppy boys.

I like his friends game. Logger. Was there one about logs or timber? Timber. Timber. Timber is like you're collecting logs. It's kind of, it's the same idea, but I don't really understand how it is similar. Well, fun fact about Tapper, it used to be Budweiser's video game.

And then it became so popular that too many kids were playing it and had to re-release it as root beer tapper and take all the bud stuff. So it was at like bars and stuff instead of like kids are kids. It was the same game. They just took away like the big red Budwiser. When it first came out, were they selling it to bars? It was just like, yeah, in public places everywhere. But yeah, bars in particular. That is pretty funny that kids were ever playing a video game where they're pouring

beers and churning beers and sir it's also it kind of reminds me of like that simpson's joke where mar just like go out and do yard work like we don't want to and then they go to the science fair and they're playing like the yard work simulator it's like hey you get to work as a bartender it's a fast pace and um everyone's like screaming at you and you're anxious the whole time um i'm embarrassed that uh i there's a there's a tapper machine at the barcade in highland park LA and I'm like not a video game guy but I love playing that game and it's embarrassing that it's just like yes Tim that drink you like it's in the video games this one suddenly is a good gameplay is so good at that one's you're easily manipulated Tim yes I love that yellow liquid is there are is there like a magazine anymore like Nintendo Power would be like where would you go for like

all over the internet, but like, is there like G4? Was that the latest type of like, we're talking video games and there was, I mean, I grew up in Nintendo Power and not realizing that they were just trying to get me to buy Nintendo things.

Yeah, yeah, because it's like, it's like propaganda essentially. And then there was the more third party as you get a little older into the Metal Gear Solid PlayStation era. There was electronic gaming monthly.

That was, but I was not, I wasn't like buying video game magazines at this point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was kind of growing out. of that sort of thing. And then there was IGN on the internet. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

IGN, yeah, I remember IGN. The, uh, I remember like, would late looking at like, uh, Nintendo powers at the grocery store or something and be like, you could see the whole level like at a, like a, how would you say that, linear version of like a linear visual representation. Yeah, like almost like screen grabs all put together for a map. Basically, it's like, oh my God, this is so cool. Yeah, right. Yeah, this is how it would look.

Mom, can I stay more? Jeff, you mentioned Metal Gear Solid. Mike, you probably don't even realize this, but the guy who voiced the main guy on Metal Gear Solid. He also wrote the first X-Men film and we're, it's X-month over on the blow. Jeff is showing Tim X-Men movies. And Mike, he's showing Mike too.

We talked about that last episode on the X-Men, first episode, X-month. So you retained. Well, I needed to be reminded, though. Okay, you guys ready for booze news? Yes, please. Well, it's awards season here on the pod here on the show. And that means the Academy Awards are coming up this weekend, and it's time for a new segment.

Hit it. It's time for the Oscar Roundup on the Sloppy Boys podcast. Culture starts here. Okay, now, here's how it's how we're. works over here on the Oscar round of guys. It's gamified, right? This is game. Game.

You mentioned, you mentioned Nintendo Power. Yeah. This is perfect. Is the first, is the first game question, re-creating that little outro? That was any fans of the garage band for Apple computers, you'll notice that one is called oboe.

Oh. Um, can I ask you a quick question, Tim? You made a recording last week for, it was like Don Beach's, uh, explanation of how he came up with a drink. Yeah, but there was a bird that got in the way. And there was that crow that gave. Yeah. Did you, was that, did you record that yourself or was that already recording? You just took the birds on and kept popping it in places.

He was sort of like Zach Efron in that DJ EDM movie going out into the world and getting samples. So I imagine he found a crow and crawled up there. I went on a South Seas adventure. And just got the best car? He rented the equipment. No, I mean, I mean, was, did that car exist in that recording? And then you just lifted that one and just kept adding it? No, it was like, the background was like tropical birds.

And then I separately downloaded Crow. Oh. Oh, call. That was good. But I did it for comedic effect. Okay, here's how it works on the Oscar Round of Guys. There are 10 films nominated. for best picture. I am going to

talk to you. I'm going to post to you the prompts. I'm going to tell you the film. And then you see, if you can tell me, what alcoholic beverage is most featured in said film. Is this a quiz? It's a gamified booze news to sort of get you excited for the Oscars this weekend. You ready? That's funny.

Should I play the Superstager? Yeah, play the Superstager. Wait a minute. Okay, well, you just did it. I don't know if that's okay. This is not quite time. We had a quorum, right? I don't know.

We get, like, nailed on our taxes. Did you play a super stage or during booziness? Well, I see a super stage playing without all three signing off. That is going to ding you. The good thing about this game is you're not facing off against each other. You're together. You're on one team and we're just trying to see. Because we don't even know all these films,

but maybe with some. context clues. We can figure out, you know, some of them it's very obvious. Some don't really feature a drink, but there was like one that's a scene. But let's kick it off. This is a bad year for me knowing the Oscar movies. Me too.

Don't have many of them down. Then you're going to need context clues. First film is sinners. What drink is most featured in sales? Ooh, whiskey. Oh, whiskey. Corn, whiskey, moonshine. I'm giving it to you.

Great work, guys. very good. It's a moonshine type of boot, leg, and fine. That's from the beginning when the movie is good. Jeff, okay, moving on real fast, real fast here. One battle after another. Medella. Medello, few small beers. Very good.

I forget we're on the same team. I'm like, trying to be, yeah. Well, it's good if you're a team that's just really fast. We're like Lenin and McCartney. They're sort of, it's a team, but we're also sort of like trying to rise to each other's level because you're friendly competition. We challenge each other. It's like when you like off season to like I want you at your best to like top golfers like practice together off like a little time.

You know what? If you find that you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room. I'm usually in the wrong room. Luckily all three of us on this podcast are dumb. It's a bad room. Next film F1. Champagna. There you go.

Fancy. Formula one is fancy. That one I saw. I've seen all these. far. What am I talking about? Hamnet. I haven't seen that one. I'm Elizabethan England. Like meat maybe or wine?

Meat is the right track. Mald wine. Ale. Ale. British. English ale. At some point they drink some ale. Marty Supreme. Oh, ping pong ball. The ping pong ball cocktail.

This one's not very iconic. There's drinking in the movie, but I chose one that I thought was like, uh, factored into the plot kind of the most. He's sort of a bad boy, right? Marty. Yeah. Marty. Um, and this is a softy movie, safety. What's a, what's a drink that you sort of send back and forth

a bunch? Wait, you guys have not seen film? No. I've seen it. Oh. He's, uh, he's, there's orange. There's an orange ball. I don't remember a drink at all. That, that's actually a movie I just don't remember much of anyway. For some reason, that movie did not stick with me. It's 80s.

Well, this wouldn't stick it either, but it's, I think it's like the 40s. 50s. Really? Oh, man. 50 to, you. There's in that, there's a, there's a bowling alley hustle scene where they're hustling ping pong and there's lots of beer flowing in that scene. So I'm going to say beer.

Next up. Okay. Train dreams. This is one of those movies I didn't know. I haven't seen it. Didn't know it was nominated. Don't know what it's up. Choo, chew, chew, juice.

Chew, yeah, choo, chew, juice. Choo juice is correct. Oh, that counts? You're going to take that? No, this is an old time. A guy lives in the woods in a cabin. At one point, he brings home two bottles of whiskey, and his wife says,

ooh, we're going to have a big dinner tonight. And that made me laugh that two bottles of whiskey, but you have to eat a lot of food with it. Frankenstein. Ooh, slime. Green goo. Electricity. Green goo.

Blood. At one point, Dr. Frankenstein takes loudness. of a medicinal mixture of opium and alcohol for pain relief. Let's do it on pod. That sounds like that. He was a, Jeff, he was a mad scientist. You don't want to follow his recipe. Bagonia.

This one I've seen. Vaca. Yeah, vodka. There's really just nothing to that. Background wine, some glasses of wine, a couple beers. Notably, not alcohol, but Emma Stone has a Stanley cup. and that was the first time in a movie you see that type of culture

like, hey, girls in there's Stanley Cups. Yes. Sentimental value. I don't know what this is. I didn't heard this movie. That's crazy. I didn't heard of this one. Okay, okay.

Well, listen to this. Who's in it? Can we get a synopsis, please? It's a Norwegian film. I once watched a film. Or should I say it was movie? Norway. What drink a company's

their meal in small chilled glasses. Apenzella. Furnette. We had it on the pod. Yeah. What is it? That fish, the one that went down past

the equator and back up. Yes. Yes. Oh, Aquavit. Aquavit. There you go. Very good. Fish. That's cool that they did that. We had just learned about it. That's great. Wait, is Aquavit really in the movie?

Yeah. And here's the last. Last one, give me to be. Give me a bit of context. It was here. The secret agent. A film that takes place in Brazil. Falka Martini. Ooh.

A film that takes place. Shaken, not stirred. In Brazil. Uh, uh, down in Brazil. A, uh, Coke in. I don't know how you do it down in Brazil.

You're rubbing Coke. Jeff, do you know the Brazilian liqueur we've had on pod that they drink in secret? Oh, it tastes kind of like. Kachasa. Yeah. Chasasa. There you go.

And that's it for the Oscar Roundup. We'll play this segment again. It's a good song. It's time for the Oscar Roundup on the Slopie Boys podcast. Culture starts here. Wow, that's pretty good. Is Blank starts here a tag, like a slogan for something? Something.

For your podcast. It's like cinema starts here or, no, know, but there's a real one. Oh, something starts here. I think there's a lot, like, there's, I think there was a campaign for, like, cars.com is like your search starts here, but there's one that's, like, pretentious like that, too. Yeah.

Remember, uh, remember the neon, the Dodge neon and the whole ad campaign was like, the car would pull up, but it would be like, it would just say high above it and kind of like plain text. Do you remember the neon? Yes. There, I, there was this car the other, I was walking around. I was like, I haven't seen a neon in forever. Like, you'd think there'd be junkers around or something.

It feels like we kind of have chilled out on the cute cars for a second, you know? Like rounded, bubbly, huggable cartoon. Yes. I feel like for a long time, the shape of every car was what I call an aggressive jelly bean. It was just like a forward-leaning, italic jelly bean. That jelly bean can really rip. It kind of feels like cars now are doing that, like, station wagon-y, half-station wagon SUV

sort of thing. It's like a crossover. Yeah, it's like, well, it's either a high riding station wagon or a mini SUV or a truckish type thing. Or a low rider. A lot of people have a Chevy tracks. A lot of people do.

A lot of people do. A lot of people getting that tracks. That tracks. That tracks. Well, it's it for Boo's news. Wrap it up. Well, with that out of the way, we turn our attention to the drink of the day, a continuation from last week of sorts. Yeah. Tim, are you going to present this one?

We didn't really discuss it. The jet pilot you've had? No. No. I had it when he was a test pilot. You've heard. Yeah, I had it when it was a test pilot. Yes.

I had his little brother. A little baby brother. I haven't triggered your little brother since he was in flight school. Fly boy. What? We loved it. it right that we said hey this is great oh yeah it was like teaky

101 almost we were pretty drunk recording our X-Men episode for the for the Patreon episode and it didn't stop there folks Tim how did the rest of that day go for us oh we kinda we we had a wild one went to Russ it was an early record too

it was an early record for you guys yeah it was the middle of a weekday it was like fully day drinking you know because you know we we started at maybe 11 and we were like wrapped up fully at three, but with a bit of a buzz on. Yeah, and you're not going to make that big count after two test spots. So yeah,

we went to Rustic, we had wings and more drinks. Mookiee joined us, and then we went to Cassina del Campo had martyas all night. It was kind of a bender. Isn't that funny when you do something like that, you're like, hey, holy shit, I just went on a little bender. Good thing I'm home. Yeah. I had that thing

of the next day. I was like, oh, God, I can't really get it going. What's going on me? I was like, oh, I had a whole day of alcohol And like we had a lot of wings too. And then also when we went to Casino del Campo, we just piled on, piled on chips and salsa because they just kept bringing chips and salsa because it's like free when you're sitting at the bar. Slang and drinks down.

Is Casino del Campo on sunset? Hyperion. Like all day I just had spice. I just like gooey spice layers layered on my belly all day. And what a nice touch that you don't have to buy. I've food to get the chips. They're giving you salty chips and saying, they're going to buy plenty of double marks when they not.

Ooh, I could go for a, I could go for a, like a real Mexican restaurant, like sit-down restaurant, chip dip. It's always so good there. Yeah. Ooh.

Chip dip like salsa or somewhere like. Yeah, but like, like, like a French onion ruffle. Yeah, but still to torstititos. Tortitos. Tortitos.

Tortitos. Okay, so we loved Don the Beachcomers drink the test pilot. But in the intro for that drink, I made an error that I need to correct. I said that Don had been in the Air Force in World War II and he invented the test pilot as a precursor to his more popular drink, the jet pilot. Right. His more popular drink? No, that's false. He did not, in fact, invent the jet pilot.

Ooh. But it is a jacked up. souped up test pilot, but it wasn't invented by Don. Its roots actually can be traced to Hollywood actor Stephen Crane. Interesting guy. He was married five times, twice of which was to Lana Turner. He acted in films for Columbia Pictures back in the old studio system in the 1940s. And I actually brought in a clip from his 1944 film, Cry of the Werewolf.

Let's give it a listen. Oh, here we go. Darling, what has come over you? Well, nothing. It's just now that I've met and talked with the gypsies, I'm convinced they're simple, harmless people. They may have strange customs and secrets, yes, but, well, I'm not going to run around

and make wild accusations against innocent people. Maybe there's some things we just don't understand. And furthermore, I probably shouldn't be saying this now, but after we're done acting in this movie, and after I finish my whole acting career, I think I'm going to open a restaurant. And you know, I'm such a big fan of that guy Don the Beachcomber.

Maybe I'll call it the luau. Maybe I'll invent a drink. You know, I like his drink that's called the Test Pilot. Maybe I'll put my own spin. I'll call it a Jet Pilot. Huh? Huh? Darling, that's wonderful.

Good movie. Like, yeah, that's great. Yeah. This is a good movie. They don't make them like they used to. People breaking character talking about their other plans outside of the movie. That would end up on the editing room floor these days. He sounded like his speech patterns sort of sounded like

went to the same acting school as Wayne the skeleton king. Yes, he did. You know, he kind of sounded like that guy from the staircase, Michael Peterson. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Oh, no, I'm picturing the jinx.

I, yeah, oh, yeah, Michael Peterson. Michael Peterson had that, like, rehearsed, like, well, I don't know what it happened. Yeah, yeah. Like, incredulous voice going up an octave. Yeah, make him seem so guilty, but I don't think he's not, but he just had the wrong dude. Anyway, the luau, uh, it was an iconic Beverly Hills restaurant on Rodeo Drive. I've seen pictures, like, the menu is kind of famous in, like, tiki shit, like the graphic design is Polynesian and very cool

and there's a jungly dining room and pictures of it have popped up everywhere. But, um, where is it? And then, uh, it was on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Gotcha. Until 1958.

And then Stephen Crane sold the place and he launched, uh, con tiki, the restaurant chain that was at, uh, Sheridan hotels across the US. Wait a minute. Canada. We, have I been to a con tiki?

You know, when I talk Tiki to my parents, they are like, you know, in Montreal, we had a place called Conteiki. So I think it's pretty, and I think there's one in Fort Lauderdale that people told me about. Oh, dude, we saw, wait, no, no, no, hold on, Contiki. I think there was one in Switzerland. Whoa. There was one in Zurich.

Really? Did we go in? No, but sure enough. Oh, yes, we saw it like next to the Cuban cigar bar kind of. Yeah, yeah, wow, that's crazy. I took a picture of it and everything. yeah those those look awesome and then but the luau for sure like if you look at pictures online the yeah looking at it's so cool and the boy the dining room's all jungly and then they expanded

kind of out to the street of palm trees and stuff it reminds me that that uh that restaurant glendale that has this is still around but has that like tiki theme oh damon steakhouse yeah yeah remember when we were writing birthday boy season two our offices right next to damens and we and do Mai Tai Mondays. And their house, Mai Tai was basically like just OJ and rum, but there were like four bucks and we pounded them. I love that place.

Is that place technically a steak restaurant? Like that is that their, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's great. Steaks are good.

Um, okay, so this, uh, drink, uh, invented, I don't know if,

uh, Steven himself invented or one of his bartenders, but this recipe is via, liquor.com. And you'll see that not only is it a juiced up test pilot. but it's also very, very, very similar to a zombie. A lot of ingredients here, folks, but you're going to have to do some substitutions

where you need to, and that'll be okay. One ounce overproof Jamaican rum. Wow. Three quarter ounce overproof Demerara rum, such as Plantation OFT Day. Which I got. Jefferson, nice get. I found it.

I found it today. I wanted to come get some from you, but instead I did my taxes. Anyway, oh, I got to do my taxes. Fuck. Three quarter ounce gold rum. Three rums, baby.

That's fun. Half ounce grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed. Three quarter ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed. Half ounce cinnamon syrup. Mm-hmm. Oh, did, yeah.

Mm-hmm. I made it. I made it. You did? You boiled cinnamon sticks with water and sugar? I sure did. Well, I had bottled simple syrup. And I just,

I don't, I don't want a ton of this stuff because I think I have old ancient cinnamon syrup in my fridge that got funky. Ooh. Based on the smell of it. So I had to make fresh. How did you make it, I just boiled up or warmed rather simple syrup and I snapped some cinnamon sticks and half for about 10 minutes. Ah, nice.

The recipe I saw said infused for six hours. So I hope you got enough flavor of those cinnamon sticks. Oh, my God. And Mike, you know what I'm going to do as a substitution? Yeah. Because I'm going to need a little soap. like a fireball fireball interesting

now are you going to do less of a different liquor to no because these rums are overproof I only I have one overproof Jamaican rum but I don't have the overproof demurara so I'm so this makes up oh I've made a concoction of I have like caruba dark rum

and pussar's room I made a little mixy of rums and I kind of created my own demurara type rum but it's probably only 80 proof so oh I actually have some remember I have that 99 but 99 bananas pack. There was a cinnamon one in there. Anyway, I'm going to do a half-ounce

and I think it's good that it'll juice up the proof a little bit because my rums are not super strong. Half-ounce phlearnum, one dash absinth, one-dash angostura bitters. Add all ingredients into a blender with a cup of crushed ice. Blend on high until combined, but not

smooth. About five seconds. Bore into a double old-fashioned glass garnish as desired, for example, Maraschino cherry or more. Wow. Yes. This is great. I'm so happy.

I'm a law-abiding citizen this week. I got pretty much everything to the letter of the law. Cool. I'm excited to hear what you think of that Demerora room. I've never had that. Could you, Jeff, when you bring that back, can you bring the bottle? I want to see what that looked. You know what I'll just look it up online?

Why the hell not? What the hell am I doing? I'm a little intimidated by this. Yeah. Plantation changes the name to Plantere. Is yours Planta ray? Yes, plant array. Because for a while, Top Line was self.

selling off the old plantation stuff for cheap. They sure were. This is going to be, yeah, this is going to be a really stiff drink and it's going to be tough for the blowout today, I think. Yeah, which makes it better. I haven't eaten anything really today. I had an apple fritter. Yeah, I'm going to like eat bread real fast.

Yeah. I have some spaghetti and meatballs. All right, folks, we're going to go blend up these drinks. And when we come back, first sips, jet pilot. Here we go. Spring has sprung and the sloppy boys band is coming to your town. L.A. Zebulon, March 20th. Phoenix, Arizona at the Valley Bar on March 21st.

You got to check us out and check us out online. Tickets on sale now. Jet pilots in hand. Look at that. Ooh, yeah. Yeah, it's a good looking drink. It's pretty good. It's got that general catch-all, brown, orange, teaky look.

It really does. good ones have. And as you're adding 30 ingredients, it starts to smell like every teaky drink you ever have. Yes, baby. The, the, the, um, uh, absinth drop in here. Is that unique to this drink or is that in a lot of teaky drinks? Absinth. Um, it, it's in the, uh, the zombie, but last week we used per no, which is also, uh, are you

probably use sambucah. Yeah. It's just in there to, to bless it with a little magic. Yeah. Well, should we? All right. Sips. Sippies.

Ooh. Oh, that's deadly. That's, this. Yeah. That has a sharp edge on it. Yes. Yes. It does.

Two overproof rums. I was going to, yeah, I was going to say like, I think I may have made my wrong. But this is a pretty harsh. I mean, yeah, this is why it's called the jet pilot. It's like they posted up. Holy shit. Yeah. Is there something called the jet fuel or a,

You're called jet fuel or something. We did rocket fuel is the, is the fire island. Yeah, maybe that's the wrong thing. Kind of a pinia collata type drink. Oh, it was a pinia colada with Amaretto and we loved it. Ooh. In the master, Joaquin Phoenix's character drinks ethanol. That's jet fuel.

That's what made me, yeah, that's so crazy. I think that that if you had a 200-proof liquor, that's ethanol. It's like, that's just like pure. because that's the ethanol is the alcohol that our alcohol is. Like ethanol is in the rums and the whiskeys

and the there you go. There you go. But yeah, he just like would unscrew something and drink it out of the two like the pipes and yeah.

Nasty. I guess. Nasty boy. I guess. So much like a zombie and I love just thinking of zombies, I love when you see on a menu

when they actually enforce the two drink maximum thing. Yeah. there's places in L.A. that do that and it just makes you be like, yes, that's what I was at TikiT

earlier this week. And I love that their menu, the animated ones that kind of play on the screens. Yeah. They all kind of have like, they all have like a fun warning. Yeah. It's like,

not too many of these. Careful like this one's going to bite you. So shark tooth, this one's going to bite you. Yeah. The alligator, this is going to bite you. you.

I remember one time we were there. This is like maybe mid-spring. And was it you and me, Tim? And I was like, hey, we know what we should do is look, get this menu and do all the drinks all summer long. And we calculated it. It was like something like $8,000 to get all the drinks. Wow. Worth it.

What's the one at, uh, what's the one at Tiki that's like a dryer my tie? It's called like Jim's special or something like that. Dry tie? I was, I was just Googling that. I think it's raised special as opposed to Ray's mistake. Oh. Oh, Jim. Maybe.

I think it is. I think it is Jim special. Yeah, because Jim is a, is a, is a regular. Yes. I met Jim. And, uh, I prefer the drink to the man. Yes. Is he, uh, is he like a, uh,

no offense, Jim. I, I, I think I was one time sitting in Jim's stool and he was rather nasty to me to me. Oh, shit. Yeah. Is he older dude? Like, how old? Yeah. Yeah.

A little grumpus. Like the start, like they're kind of all since the Tiki T started type of thing. I don't know from the very beginning. You might not have been that old, but he certainly was no spring chicken. Are chickens born in the spring? Is that the issue? That's the issue. The issue.

Yeah, they're all tourists, Tim. Oh, yeah. Button heads. Remember when time a guy came up to me at the Tiki T and it was another regular, I think his name was Dave. He was like, you got to tell him to make you Dave's rum and coke. Dave's special rum and Coke. And I was like, okay, I'll do it. And I went up to the bartender.

I was like, hey, what's Dave's special Roman Coke? And he goes, it's just a rum and coke. Was he like, yeah, I know who you're exactly here talking about. He does this all the day. Yeah, he did. I mean, I think it's luckily Dave has been drunk for 40 years. so, yeah. Got sober up Dave.

God, that's so funny. Why, Dave's been drunk for 40 years. Dave's been drunk for 40 years. That can't be true. Dave's been drunk for 40 years. Man, Tim, I had an idea that I'm not going to write, but you should. Should I reveal it here on Pod? Ooh.

Is this a script or a song? Now you have to. Script. Yeah, reveal it on Pod. And if I, if I use it and I get Rich Bull, bleep it. Great. It's called Tekey Wars or something. Imagine like a

heightened comic rivalry between two godfathers of Teaky. You know, you got your Vic and your Dawn. You got your Vick and your Dawn, but it's sort of got like the, it's like the prestige. You ever see you're going to go on the prestige? I love that movie. Like the one upsmanship between these two guys and like, hey, maybe in the movie that's, it's more crazy. Like they try and kill each other. Right. And that's the thing you're allowed to do.

is sort of be like, yeah, it's inspired by the story of real people. And then you take it to a more fun place. But it's like, yeah, yeah, but it was inspired. It's not Vic and Dawn. It's Rick and. I like that a lot, Jeff, especially because these guys, they're sort of elusive figures that we've learned on the pod. They've kind of created their swashbuckling lore around them. They're not exactly what they say they are.

But they're certainly fascinating guys. Yes. And you can make them up. You could do like a Hatfield and McCoy's type. thing where it's like family like uh teams not just two people it's like uh if you ever see a john the beachcomber guy around here you can kick it that oh that's good and hey you know they got a fight over the affection of a woman but maybe maybe one day like one of the teakies he's all he's losing the battle at all he's lost he's walking the streets rainy a night and he's sitting i guess i'll

just die here on the sidewalk and then so and pat some on the back and say hey brother you look like you could use a drink come here and then he steps into the rival bar and he's like it's actually kind of cool in here right you know wait what if well how about this he steps into calpies hideaway and his and like you're like this is kind of how it's done you know no we don't we're not fighting each other it's not a combat it's just cheeky man but that's not tim that's like tim's grandfather or something yeah yeah yeah like it's we abandoned the whole plot and he goes now this is how it's done I'm telling us I where let's fucking go. Well, yeah, thanks.

I worked pretty hard on my bar. I hope one day my grandson starts a podcast. I assume he will. There's a hole in the market for good bar movies. I think that there's a lot of bad bar movies, but I don't think anyone's ever taken the cake. We should do another bar movie after X month, X-Men month, do Roadhouse.

I haven't seen Roadhouse. We should do the old and new roadhouse. There was a Jillon Hall one recently, but the Swayze one is the early one. Roadhouse Fortnight. Mike, are you on the jilly wagon right now or no? Mm-hmm. It was a long time ago I fell off, but I am back, baby. The jilly wagon, toot, to, came through my town.

Scooped you right up. Yeah. I'll tell you, I like that nightcrawler move. Don't need no ticket to ride the jilly wagon. Don't need no credit call to. ride jelly wagon. I'm on the Jilly wagon, but the Maggie one. Oh.

Wait, did she direct the, uh, the new Frankenstein movie? Am I crazy about the ride? That's her right. I want to see that. Curious. I thought it was Guillermo del Toro. No, he did, uh, Frankenstein. No, there was another Frankenstein movie.

That was the Allerty one. Frankenstein. That's a lordy. Um, I think it's funny that all over L.A. There's those, um, posters that say, here come. It's got like splatter all over it, but it's like, here comes the motherfucking bride. The motherfucking is all like blotted out.

Did you see Bridger Wienegger's real about it? He's just, he finds like a bench and it slowly zooms in. And it's like, here comes the banging bride. Here comes the Mindy Kaling bride. That's funny. I said, Bridgett, you got me. He's good. You got me again.

That just kind of reminded me of Chris Fleming, the stand-up who, it doesn't hide his feelings towards the popular culture. You know, he'll love it. Yeah, me too. I find it like amazing that he does it. But I think he has a special out now, right, on HBO? Is this true? Have you seen it yet?

I see it. Home box office, yeah. Home box office, yeah. He has a monthly show at Largo, like a Chris Fleming and Friends thing. And I went to it the night before the HBO special dropped. And he was kind of like doing some of the material from it, like his last chance. But his first guest of the night was Conan O'Brien testing out Oscar jokes. Oh, cool.

Ah, they did, they just did an interview together for interview magazine where they, you know, it's like a one. person interviews and other. Yeah, Conan like championed him early on and they're both from Massachusetts. But then the other two comics in that night, I'm from New Hampshire. Yeah, now that's just. Rachel Colley and Sam Taggart were also on the line.

Oh, that's a great night of comedy you had there, Tim. I was laughing it up. Did you, how are your sides? Split and I'll tell you what. I'm not going to say it on pod because I don't want to blow up a spot, but Chris Fleming on stage at Largo talks some shit on some comedians that you wouldn't really

he made fun of like a very famous L.A. comedian that we all know. Right. I was like, hell yeah, Chris. I love that like he had a, he did a lot of stuff years ago. I feel like he did front facing camera videos.

That's, that's where I first saw him. And then at one point, he just became radicalized or he, I don't know, fell in some ooze or something. Like, he was calling Jost that did it to him.

He snapped on Jost and then. Now he's like so aggressive now. It's insane. It's great. I love angry Chris Fleming. It's so refreshing. He's really physical. And what's crazy is like on podcast and stuff,

he really talks like that with all the specifics. He can pull him out of his ass so fast. I was going to say his, his like vocabulary or just like the way he structures sentences and stuff is impressive and makes everything funnier. I saw him a clip today of him talking on Caleb Heeran. That's what I'm saying his name, right?

They're making fun of clown. Shitting on the clown community. it's like he's so good and so sharp and fast with the specifics i'm like damn he's got it i'm slow with the generals he's put with the specifics i'm slow well it's funny because that whole game of uh specifics it's funny how that's kind of played by every uh community and i i sometimes will have an an aversion to it but chris does it well but it isn't it isn't it funny that like speaking of like clowns like when

Chad Damiani roast someone. He uses a bunch of specifics. But then if you're at a roast battle in Austin, Texas, they use a bunch of specifics. And then you're Chris Fleming. Like, that's, it's become a style of comedy that can cross the aisle. And you use it.

Yeah, you use it the way that you use it. But the specifics. Hey, use or lose it to. The specifics in, like, stand up, they got to be original. When people are just using the, same it's like then it just feels like the community chess shit it's like oh everyone that's me if you guys seen me do stand up lately i'm like oh this guy over here drive SUV driver um and this

guy over your SUV driver in the back we got me on the SUV driver's no no no tim you got to say 10 cups of ketchup and an onion ring you know like something weird well if we were really doing it would have been 10 um 10 cups of hinds that was the old rule is uh uh from our improv book. Don't say ketchup. Mike Myers would always say, Heinz, not ketchup. That's a terrible example

because Heinz in the normal nomenclature is not a brand that gets tossed. We don't say, past the Heinz. Nobody says past the Heinz. You might say, give me my Nikes, not giving my sneakers,

but you don't see you say ketchup. Perhaps the only bad brands to subvert your whole point is choosing Hines to sell that idea. I know. Any other one, like Nike's, yeah,

that would have been. I was just on this podcast stores and I was talking about the Heinz ketchup improv phenomenon I saw a clip of that well what is that it's him stores it's uh great it's it's like doughboys but with stores so I talked about Albertsons and um they uh were like I I said uh that like when my friends used to practice improv I had read the book truth and comedy it says to say Heinz instead of ketchup so every time I gave a suggestion for an improv show, I would say Heinz. But then we were talking about it and they were like, it's weird because like the word

mustard is way funnier than Frenches. And I was like, yeah, I think you're right. Like mustard's a great. Yeah, mustard is. Especially these days and I don't want to go into a whole Kendrick Lamar thing. I think Jeff's, I don't want to, I'm not telling tales out of school here, but over on the other podcast behind the paywall, Patreon.com. slash Osama was a little friend's the X-Men could use some specifics i wouldn't mind

Wolverine i like your Levi's oh thanks storm did you use pert plus in that streaked hair of yours you know that's rogue who has a streak but yeah i know i agree oh yes no uh a storm you've you've got blonde hair altogether basically storm i sure you could use some a cumulus clouds right about now sort of white hair that's the brand yeah that's the brand of cloud not a not a not a Cirrus cloud and not a stratus cloud. Storm, you could probably use some vizene for those eyes that cloud up all the time. Oh, God. No, Cyclops is the one that could use vizine.

Next subject. You guys are fucking this all up. No, no, I'm saying. Her eyes always kind of go white. Hey, hey, hey, Charles Xavier, you bick in your head? Yes, you're right. Storm does have cataract-esque eyes when she uses her powers. What are you going to do differently on the next drink?

I feel like this is the teakiest. This teaky drink, I don't know what to do differently with these teaky drinks to make it that much different. I'm not even halfway down and I'm like hot in the, I'm hot in the face. I would say it is what it's supposed to be. I don't really know what to tweak, but just because I have it, I might put a little more grapefruit. Did you fresh squeeze? Well, I bought a whole grapefruit and it only took like one meager little squeeze. I was going to buy an ocean spray unsweetened thing, but I knew.

it was first of all was more expensive when I realized we only need half an ounce of grapefruit just to make this thing because there's fucking nine ingredients I know I was like I'm just getting I'll just get a grapefruit it's better to do fresh squeeze anyway I didn't I didn't even look at the amounts because I just saw grapefruit I was like I'll get that I got an

ocean spray and it was just like you know I got a giant one with like the handle on it and I looked at it was like oh a dash or a a bipper a little bops and a bibbers it feels like the move to make would be to sweeten this up but I don't want to I like when it's dry. I like the gym special Mai Tai that's dry. A little dash of grenadine.

Oh. What would take the sour out of it? Yeah, you got to sort of balance, balance on another taste coordinate like bitter or sweet. But it's hard. You don't want to put like hors d'at and turn it into a mitailles. You still want to keep its integrity pure. He might want to.

Maybe more, maybe more than cinnamon syrup. Oh, yes. Oh, I got a report. I have to report. this cinnamon syrup plenty punchy plenty aromatic oh good good job jeffy and folks you can do that at home 10 minutes just a uh i got it to a boil for like a minute but in general you're just simmering that simple syrup with some broken cinnamon sticks in there and of course you got to strain it but it was

it was a nice little uh you got a brownish tinge and you got some floaters in there um do you want should i take us out to the neck to the uh uh uh break with a quiz. Pub quiz question. Take me out, Mike. Which U.S. sitcom features the character Sheldon Cooper. Big Bang Theory.

Fuck. Big Bang theory, but this is probably written before Young Sheldon. So, Young Sheldon, I would have accepted. Oh, there were two correct answers to that one. That's great. That's what's fucking crazy. Well, I knew it, but I was simply too slow.

All right. You've got to be quick with the specifics, Tim. Quick with the specific. we're going to make second round when we come back. Final thoughts. And for the listener and to you guys, mine just hit me. Big time. During the commercial break, Mike is going to have a little.

Mike, you're like Shaila Buf during Mardi Gras during the commercial breaks. Did you see that interview with Shailabuff with that other guy who wears a suit? I don't, I forget who the guy's name. I've only seen clips online, but. Channel 3 News, Channel 5 News, Channel 5 news, yeah. It's intense. I want to watch the whole thing

because LeBuff is an intense dude. It's getting clipped. It's certainly getting clipped. Clipped. I saw an interview with him and, oh, who's that fucking meathead actor? I do not like who played the Punisher. Me?

No. Meathead. Rob Reiner? John Burnthal. You know, you know John Bernfall. I agree. I don't like that guy. He's in Wolf Wall Street.

He's the tough guy, like the... Yeah. Yeah. He's a dead brother in the bear. He's also in Walking Dead. But he plays against Type and Kimmy Schmidt. So, see, he's like willing to make fun of himself. But he's such a fucking bro.

He's such like a frat bro cop looking. And in interviews, he's like he's got hashtag rising grind energy that I don't like. Yeah. Hey, hey, I have that. I'm trying to get that. Yeah, and I don't like it. I know. Try and get you on board.

Tim, Mike has that. I have that. I want Mike to smart enough. Like he's got Like he's got some embarrassing Disease Yeah Mike has that

He rises and grinds Oh I didn't mean you I mean like like when like Kevin Hart Like says on TikTok is so annoying You're cool though It's cool All right folks We'll be right back

This is gonna be a wild blowout Yeah Test pilot round two I just added a little grenadine And Still great Like undriggated Didn't ruin anything.

I did a, I did more, a little more grapefruit juice. And this time I didn't do the fireball. I did just like a squirt of simple syrup and then like a couple dashes of cinnamon. And that is, it's okay. It adds a little, I can tell what the flavor is supposed to be. If it's the actual, you know, syrup and stuff, but it's just not really perfect. It's in there, but it's not like complimenting it. anything.

Are there like cinnamon grounds floating in your drink? No, not really. I blended it, so it kind of got it pretty. Foncafad. I doubled the grapefruit, which is really not a lot.

It was half an ounce, so I just put a full ounce. But yeah, it's great. It didn't, I was afraid I was pusifying the drink, but it's still very, very strong and sharp.

It's got an edge. It's the edge that'll wedge. I hear, crawl. Oh. The edge for me, I'm realizing, I think, is that grapefruit juice. That's like the sharp sour I was talking about. The tart, yeah.

Because I don't usually think of rum as having too harsh of a flavor. Like the way sometimes if you have too much vodka and drink, you're like, ooh, that's too much. Rum to me is a little rounder. But two overproofs, though? I don't know if, I don't think I have two overproofs. I think I only had the one. And then I used. Well, you got that Ray and nephew, the LMFAO of Rums.

no I have Smith and Cross I have Ray and nephew yeah I have a that's how they build themselves the LMAO Mike

as I increased the grapefruit it tip those closer to the hand slammer but it doesn't have that oh oh don't get too close I feel very good about we should do a hand slammer

variant this summer my my palate fails me here when I think about the difference between sour and bitter Like lemon is sour Lime is sour So obviously grapefruit is sour too

But are we saying grapefruit is Yes It's bitter as well It's more tart maybe How does tart fall in there? Well he said tart Yeah tart is that a different thing But tart is not a taste

It's not what? I mean of the sweet sour salty bitter umami I think when you think of The tart is probably sour Which is a version of Really? Really?

I think tart is sour plus bitter. I think that's the Venn diagram of sour plus bitter. I think that would be a good explanation of it because I think that that is, I'm getting, but when I think of Kampari and the part of my mouth that the bitter hits, I do feel like grapefruit is hitting that, but then also has that squinty sour-faced lime taste. You know what parts of the tongue taste, which is the edges or the bitter? I don't know if that's even.

I just remember seeing that. You could. Yeah. When you Google it, there's a chart of it. Right, right, right. But I never, that chart I've seen, but I never knew if it's like, it'll only taste that bitter if it's that part's on that part of the tongue. I don't understand.

No, no, that's where you feel it. Oh. I can feel it. Yeah, I don't know. And I'm seeing like different ones and this one just saying like this taste map is wrong. Everything you ever knew was wrong. If, if I were to show. shave off the sides of my tongue. Would I not be able to taste sour? That's my question.

You should try that. I see what you're saying. Wired magazine is disputing this. But in general, everyone says, bitter is the back of the tongue. Sour is the two sides of the tongue. Sweet is toward the front, but the very tip front is salty. And the way back, blah, blah is bitter. That's why, you know, when you take that Kampari bottle and you'll, oh, oh, oh. yeah we know yeah yeah yeah well tart damn all right I think it's time to do you think this drink stands up to the harsh adjudication that we sort of applied every drink here on the show we're pretty strict yes Mike you want to give us your final thoughts yes this is an order again and and I I got to say you know we

joked about like oh it would be fun to do all the drinks at a Tiki T it would be fun to do that only for many reasons but one of the reasons would be to actually be like, do any of these teaky drinks in Mike Hanford's brain, are they really any of that different? Like, I don't have the best tongue, as we know. So it's like, are any of these different enough where I'd be like, oh, I like a Toro, but not a zombie or something like that. It would be fun to do a shootout to go get four, like, $420 tea drinks and then go go down the line and be like, no, this one's the Mai Tai. Oh, this one's the Mai Tai. We should do a special episode, a special main, where the three of us go to Tiki T.

And like in an afternoon and like set up a little recording thing and just order drinks until we're done with the hour and see what happens. And then we bar up our way home. I think that that's where it's in trying to tell them apart, that's where you're really happy when there's like the Singapore sling has gin in it. The jungle bird has Kampari. You get really excited about those differences. And the Toro, the Toro, I was just mentioning. a bull goes a little mechanical

foot long bull does that A little robot stuffed animal bull runs down the bar I one time I think I told you this I was coming out of the bar at Tiki T and someone had ordered that and it was

it was kind of the first time I was there I walked out of the bathroom just as like people were going Toro Toro and I was like oh shit did I like not wash my hands is this stuff thing the thing that they yell at you when you walk out of that.

And I think it was from that that image was in my mind because of the far side uh comic where the guys walking out of the bathroom and a big light to blink that said did not wash hands yeah i had that shirt or did you i feel like i had that shirt i had it in many collections and calendars oh i love the farce i had the shirt it was a big a big color graphic on the front that said like with a neon sign that says like didn't wash hands and then down if you look at the bottom corner of the shirt there was a little like black and white sort of second panel where it was somebody walking out and it's in the signs that didn't use enough soap um I was at Tiki Tee the other week like I said

I brought a friend and um immediately the Toro Toro thing started happening and he was already like mystified by the place like we got in immediately because we got there when it opened but it was so nice to look over your shoulder and be like oh yeah they're sort of do a crazy thing for some of these drinks. But when you bring somebody, you want them to see like the bells and whistles and like go-buga stuff and the Toro-Toro stuff. And you're like, hey, order that beer on the shelf, man. Yeah. Order the Newcastle Browdale, man. You're a loser, man. I went into the, the Tiki one time. I was like, hey, can I have a water? And then the guy gets up on the counter, do we serve water in this bar. No! And shoots me

with the water hole. No, but we should. Tim, your final thoughts? Submit them. I love this drink. It's fantastic. I'm going to have it again, but I want to use my final thoughts to tell you guys about a sauce I invented. Hey, it's your platform.

You guys know Sichuan chili crisp that I love so much. Like Lagoa, like all the, you know, put some of that in ranch dressing. You got some leftover ranch dressing from your buffalo wings or your chicken strips or whatever. You got a little cup of ranch dressing. Put a tablespoon of Sishuan chili crisp in there and mix it up.

It's possibly the best sauce of all. Really? So you want to take the cooling, you want to take the cooling power of the range and you want to kick it up? That's exactly what I want to do. And I'll tell you what, Jeff, I want you to dip your pizza crust in there, my man. I'll do it. I will do it. Tim ordered some chicken wings to the house when we watched X-Men 2 the other day.

And you better believe in the morning I had three chicken wings left over in the fridge. I ate them before I even had my coffee. And then I kept the sauces. So you know I'm saucing up this and that. I'm saucing up a turkey sandwich with a little honey mustard. That's really fun. And Jeff likes the honey mustard. Now, Mike, you're probably thinking, oh, this was these were American buffalo wings.

Now, these were Korean wings from Kiyoshaun. Okay, shit. Because now I'm thinking, now I have to like picture a whole different thing. And I'll go further, Mike. You know how Tim doesn't like boneless wings? He's like, what battered, fried, what a white meat chicken? That's not a wing. This place doesn't do that.

They, they, you get like a little piece of a chicken thigh with the skin still on it that's fried. So you kind of are having a boneless experience that is still very winged ass. Mike, it's a true boneless experience. It's a boneless experience. It's the whole wing experience in one bite. We still have to do that. The great chicken wing hunt. Oh, yes.

We have much to do. Did we not? I never, I've never had the version of a chicken wing that, where the buffalo sauce has, uh, blue cheese and celery blended into the francs red hot, but it's,

it's the whole chicken wing experience. We did have watched that film on the blowout, right? Yes. But we, we stopped at, um, God, what was it? What's the famous chicken wing place on tour?

A duff. Anchor bar? Anchor bar. Anchor bar. So we had the anchor bar version, but I want the one that's the whole wing experience in one bite. Yes, and that place is closed. It was like Ophelia's an Oneonta or something, so we're going to have to make it ourselves. Sounds like a good blowout. Folks, this is an excellent drink. It's an order again, but it's an order again, sort of order again with caution. Like, you know, some caution signs on an exclamation points on a yellow triangle.

But it's a compliment. You're supposed to kind of go in and be like, we're doing test pilots. You and your friends, you drink one of these, you open up to each other. Jet Pines up. It's a whole new thing. You got to do it.

Get your friends together. You're all test pilots. You're all trim tabs. You have to explain that. No, just right. Let's go. Let's go. That's our show.
