Hey folks, welcome to J.D.'s place. I'm here sitting here with the sloppy boys. They're here to take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. We're going to find out what that's all about. We got Mike Hanford. Mahalo. And I'm your host, J.D., and the place to be. It's J.D.'s place.

We're all fine with you plugging J.D.'s place. You don't have to come on so strong. We just let us know first. What's going on? It's fine. but JD can be a bit of a format breaker. Oh yeah. He is a disruptor.

Yeah, yeah. It's just that you're kind of, you know, like fucking up the intro of the pod and kind of throwing everything off just to plug the new nickname of your apartment. I'm sorry. J.D.'s place is one of those places you can actually ask questions. Everything's open here. You can actually question stuff on this show. When I, when you first started talking, uh, J.D, you held your hand up like you're reading

off a sheet. Now there's nothing on your hand. That's just J.D. You don't know that. You haven't seen this side of my hand. He's doing a palm reading. Okay, for real, we're the sloppy boys. We're back from the road.

Road dogs, a band. Not a podcast. A podcast on the side. We had a great time on the road. We love everyone who came out. We talk all about it and have some field recordings on the blowout that came out this past Wednesday. Patreon.com slash the sloppy boys. That's where you find it.

That's where you go if you want to hear all about it. Yeah. Thanks. Everyone who came out and saw us on that first leg of the spring tour. What hot, hot, hot shows. We're playing great. I keep saying it. But we are going into the show is feeling good.

We're a good band. We've reclaimed our throne. Yeah, it was, the crown was slipping, wasn't it? What do you? The crown was slipping. No, the crowd has been great. It was like, oh, you know, geez, maybe Harry Styles is taking the crowd. Maybe Madonna's back.

Maybe Beyonce, Queen Bee. ever lost it. No, we got it back. We're the crown now. The crown is back and it's a fixed. It's a fixed. It's a fixed. It's bolting off. It's in, baby. We're the band now. Yeah, because we also, we kind of changing up to set list, kind of getting loose doing it. It was, it's a spring, spring cleaning. Yeah, easy when the band is warmed up, lubed up, ready to go. You guys are looking rested too. Good to see you again. Good to see again. Great times in the car with both you. I feel, you know what? I'm back. We're here in L.A. I'm going for a jog this afternoon.

I haven't done a lick of exercise in a long time. Yeah, I got to get back in that. Didn't he crazy bad on the road the way we can. You didn't drink on the off nights ever. Yeah, we did a good job. Surely. Well, we had a little bit here and there. I'm speaking for myself.

Something to get you back in a bed and sleep. Something to quiet the voices. Dealing with your demons. You should have had a southern zipper. You know, we don't look out across the long. That's the most time. Each stop we would always see Tim out the way. window from our bed. What's he doing out there? Just looking across the planes. Mike and I are in

bed. Same bed. We look over at Tim's empty bed, but we look out on the porch. You can't see him, but you hear that rocker. He's just out there thinking going over all of his many regrets. Occasionally you hear a, what's that? A spatoon. I thought it was like playing some little game and winning. You hear that too. Angry birds. Well, speaking of my many regrets and drinks on the road, my most regretted sip was when folks, in Amarillo, Texas, we went to the big, the big, the big Texan steak ranch. Yes. I was going to do the 72 ounce steak challenge where you eat a 72 ounce steak, a baked potato, a shrimp cocktail, a dinner roll, and a side salad.

We were seeing, we were seeing billboards. We were getting hyped. It was like, this stay, 72 on steak deal, you know, 500 miles, 200 miles. 200 bells we're there Tim we're gonna fucking do it you finish it in an hour and it's free is the deal and you think like oh it's one of those steakhouse challenges and Tim you you alerted me it's the steakhouse challenge it's the one from like the movies 72 ounces 72 bucks

yes if you can't finish it you have to pay the 72 if you do finish it in an hour but you go up on a stage and it's a whole thing so imagine there's timers up there yeah and it's they make a big product it was in the film what is the name of the Harper Will Ferrell documentary on Netflix. I want to say it's called like Will and Harper or Harper or Will.

I think you're right. I think so. And then it's like reference anytime you see that, I'm sure Homer Simpson at one point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or at least wanted to. But anyway, he never said so. Even if the character, probably the character Bible, he would want something. In the Bible, you put things that'll never pop up in the show, but they're there, you know.

So imagine you're seeing all these billboards you getting amped up, Tim's going to do the challenge. Oh, man, this is going to be wild. I was texting my family. I was like, I'm taking pictures. Everyone was like, this is great. My mom read like the rules of the history was sending me all that. I got to say I was rock solid confident. I think I can take down the steak for sure. I think the potato is, will be a hurdle for me. But when I'm juiced up with all the eyeballs on me, you know, I'm a consummate performer. Yeah. Yeah. You feed off the, I feed. I feed on the steak. Yeah, don't feel on the eyes.

You'll fill up your stomach. You need a 72 ounce. So our fatal flaw, we arrive there. It's a busy night. We put in our name. It's going to be 40 minutes until we get a table. During that 40 minutes, I go to the drink. The bar to get a drink.

They point you to the bar. They point you to the bar. I fucking get just a Texas whiskey on the rocks. We're waiting. I'm saving it for dinner, basically. But sure, I've had one sip, maybe two sips. Yeah. And when we get to the restaurant, I order the challenge and our, frankly, mean wait

waitress says I think she was just over it. She had no interest in being at that restaurant anymore that day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I still tipped her two grand, so she'll maybe she probably quit that. But she put you down for the steak challenge. We had all ordered. We were going to do it. And then she was like, well, hold on.

Are you drinking? Is that your drink? And it was like in your hand, a mostly untouched. Yeah. What was it? Just whiskey rocks. I got the same whiskey rocks after you. mine was almost gone.

Yours was barely touched. And that one sip prevented you from being able to do the challenge. Disqualifying for the challenge. You can't drink and do the challenge. DQed. Because she was saying people get too rowdy up there or something. But I was like, come on, he's perfectly fine. Look at him.

I mean, I was going to get pretty rowdy, but the alcohol had nothing to do with it. Exactly. This guy gets crazy. We just steak. Sad. So I didn't get to do that a challenge. And then I will say, then we got three normal size steaks. And mine came out overcooked.

I sent it back. Yeah. I wasn't going to have two downers on that day. But then the other weird thing was if you, if you wanted to do the 72 on steak and you couldn't do the challenge, it was $200. Yeah, because, you know, that's like insult to injury right there. That's the middle one. Can you let me eat the steak dinner at my table?

I don't need all the pomp and circumstance, but I do want to eat that as my dinner. Yes, it's $200 instead of $72. What's the fucking logic there? Is there a thing of like, yeah, I don't really. You know what? Maybe a family of four comes in and tries to split it. Yeah. I don't know.

I mean, you guys ordered steak dinners. So who gives a fuck? Yeah, I know. Yeah. You're still giving away your meat. Just get the meat out of there. Well, if we ever go back through Texas, I would like to see a redo. Me too.

Because I don't think this is the sort of pissed off or like, I'm never going back again. I think you got a score to settle. It's more frustration. But we now we know what to do. It's just hard to imagine when we're going to be. an Amarillo. I guess it's really only if you're playing a Denver show and a Dallas show. Bikes. Buy those tickets, folks.

Talk to your mayors and have us back. I love I was going to ask you this and I don't think I did on the day. What was your strategy going to be? Were you going to do steak first and then the sides? I was going to attack the stick because I have this theory that protein will never fill me up and it's

all the other stuff that would do it. It's like that theory of you can carry infinity grocery bags. Exactly. It's never been disproven. If they're plastic, grocery bags, he thinks he can carry infinity. He's never hit a limit. He's never hit a limit. Your brother's a big, he's done big eating stuff like, uh, yeah, he could probably

beat me it probably. Yeah, he could do that, yeah, you guys should do it to Saturday. We should fly him down there. Slop beds chip in, fly my brother down to Texas. Um, my, my, my, my strategy was going to be attack the steak with, with all full force. Then when I get bored of steak, get some other bites. And then when I've, when I've, when I've, when I've, you know, been entertained,

return to the steak, but really make it, like try to finish the whole steak, because I really want to take the steak. If I were to lose, I'd be okay with losing because I left a shrimp on the table. Did you say what the sides included are? baked potato, dinner roll, shrimp cocktail, side salad.

Oh, from cocktail as well. Yeah, that's a funny little one to sneak in. So the dinner that we had ended up being, we had like 12 ounce rib-eyes with a dinner roll, a baked potato and I had a side salad. So, yeah. Well, I guess I didn't have a shrimp cocktail.

Why are they doing a shrimp cocktail out in Amarillo? Yeah, that's a weird way. Jeff, you kept bringing that up. We were like, oh, we should do seafood.

You're like, guys, we're in the middle of Texas. There's no seafood out of it. That's a funny thing where it's, I know most seafood restaurants we eat at, even if they're of the ocean. I know it's not coming in fresh from the docks.

But there's something weird. Like, I don't want to eat sushi in the middle of the country. Yeah. No. It's weird. No. The thing that was funny about,

you know, we did see while we were in there, we saw a guy start the 72-honds challenge. And it was funny because, like, it kind of starts out, though, the waitress goes up and is like, okay, everyone, this is this guy, he's going to do the hour challenge. No one's really listening, but if you hear him, you're like, yay. And then the lady goes away and the guy is just above there by himself eating for an hour. For an hour. And in some cases, in the movies, people like around him like, come on, come on, come on. Yeah, right.

And in this case, like, there was a dude who's like kids were sitting next to us. Right. And they were just like on their iPads and stuff and occasionally looking up at their dad. Yeah, they like look to their watch when it was an hour, went up and left. It looks kind of lonely up there unless you're like a dad. Fully at the top, dude. Lonely at the top. I think maybe some loneliness epidemic dads that want to get away from their kids are enjoying themselves on there.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, then how about this? We went to later down two days ago or two days later, we went to another steakhouse on the road. Dad and his family, we saw he got up and went to the bathroom and puked. He wanted to get away from the fam to him. Yeah. We were concerned about that guy. That was, that was very funny.

He, it just so casually, I walked, I was in the bathroom and I heard him puking and then I walked back to our table. I looked and he still had like a big beautiful dinner in front of him. It is funny with puket, like, if you have to throw up, it's a tough thing to try to balance the like, okay, I'm going to throw up. And then like, I don't want to make a scene. I don't want to run through a restaurant with barf shooting on the sides of my mouth. Yes. But it's like, mm-hmm. I believe.

And like any question someone asks you, like, are you okay? You're like, mm-hmm. Just make it to the bathroom. Whatever happens in the bathroom is fine. Just make it to that safe zone, let a rip. You can, you can slip and fall and cry and make a mess and whatever. But then you come back out. We're composed.

You're like, ooh, somebody was making a mess in the bathroom, I think. I mean, maybe I was reading too much into it. But he was also, that was a guy that I looked at. rather young guy who had four kids and a wife with him and they were out at dinner. And I kind of got the vibe like, this is his, like, he probably was pounding beers and eating so much food because he was like, oh, God. This is what my God. You know.

Or the food was poison and he barfed because it was poison. Yeah. I was like, excuse me, what did he order? Yeah. I do remember like, well, we ordered before, he ordered before us or we ordered before him. I remember doing the math in my head, like, nothing he just ordered made him sick. he brought in that sick. You know what I mean?

Like if somebody in the table next to you starts puking, you wonder like, I hope I didn't get what he got. Right, right. But I quickly did the math to be like, we're safe. We're safe. Yeah, we're safe. We really go to the wife. We're like, hey, what did you guys ever again? Okay, now we're good.

We're good. All right. You guys want to get into some booze news? Yes. Bip, Bip, booze news. Hit it. Here on JD's place. Hit it, Meelein.

I like that fun. Hey, I do a disco. Introduce me to the DJ. Tell him, my name's Tim. What he is up? Turn the music up. Turn the speaker on. The song.

We used to our home. That's a party, dude. Party, dude. Party. And if you have a booze news theme email out to the sloppy voice podcast at gmail.com. Tapper. Tapper. Tapper.

It's coming out of Tapper. Tapper. I will say you missed a trick at the end. You could have gone, but you're new. You're new right here. I worry about him being new. This guy's on a tear in it.

He's a vet, man. But you know, you think about these Lola Young or, or, you know, Chappel Rome, they get too big, too fast.

Yeah, right, Gale. Gail. Gail. Gail. She exploded. On tour someone. The chopper.

Yeah. Somebody on tour is like, hey, when are we going to get another Gail report? I was like, geez, we're going to see Gail again. I don't know. Well, I do think Gail at some point, yeah, like put up a post that was like, I'm taking time off from touring. She went to college, I think. Did she? I got to take some time off for four years. Middle of a tour. I got to quickly, you know, to college. She's getting a physics degree. She wants to go back on the road.

Bad news, everybody. I'm going to college. No, I mean, everybody's watching Rick Tapp. Kind of like Cameron Winter from geese. Everyone's watching Tapper and Cameron being like, I hope these guys can handle this. Yeah. Yep. It's intense.

Okay. Well, one thing about that song. The, first of all, I assume he used AI or some nasty trickery. Ooh. Just strip the vocals. Black magic to strip the vocals out. So you'll be hearing from our attorneys on that front. But then also, interesting on the song, they're like, we'll go this morning.

Yeah. The soprano song. the whispering kind of like the hushed stuff going on. Or maybe it was like, I'm getting my bitch, keep change. Maybe that's what it was. Did you hear it? Because it was like, I heard my boy, Tim, but then maybe it was just the reverb off the main track.

You get a little, I, you're hearing things that everyone else doesn't even hear. I thought I heard like, oh, baby, you know what I mean? Just like low stuff. Well, remember one time you and I were listening to this really short song and I thought it was called a yanny and you were like, oh, that's on Laurel. No, he's saying Laurel, Laurel. Me? I like Annie, but you're more of a warrel kind of a guy.

The way that those songs fit together, the pacing was the same. It reminded me of Sam Smith, the lawsuit with Tom Petty. Like, will you, won't back down? They sued, stay with me. Stay with me. That's flimsy to me.

I don't, I don't. They settled, Sam Smith paid out to, the petty estate. They settled down. Yeah, it's pretty petty if you ask me. Yes. It's more intense with these estates, the Marvin Gay estate.

I feel like Tom Petty would be like, hey, man, that's how right with me. But when it's like, Tom Petty's grandkids, they're like, I don't have a fucking job. Yeah, the flaming lips were sued by the Cat Stevens estate or, uh, what's on? What is it? Youssef. What's his? Oh, yeah. Yusuf Islam.

His father and son. And it, it's accidental, but it is the melody. Yes. And, like, but it. Yeah, yeah, it's like, it's not time to make a change. Just relax and take easy. Fight tests. If you were wrong bottom, double-dottom and I, you're Yoshimi, battle the robots here on the show.

Tim, you're conflating two epic songs. Yousef reached out to Wayne and was just like, hey, man, I like the song. Sorry, you're getting sued. Yeah. That's cool. Yeah, cool. These things get nasty, you know, like a big one is. It's a nasty world, Tim.

It is. It's a nasty world, Tim. I'm not surprised. There's a great nasty world t-shirt on the sloppy boys.com. That's right. With a different orange character. Take it away. Take it away.

Fucking, no, Livrod and Taylor is a nasty one. That's a relationship that doesn't exist because Taylor was like, oh, Olivia, you're my biggest fan ever. And you talk about how much you love me. and you kind of accidentally interpolated my songs. Me and Antonoff are taking all your songwriting credit, and I'm going to, like, publicly have, like, Sabrina Carpenter open for me and not you.

Sabrina Carpenter famously stole her fucking boyfriend. It's, it's, you know, it's ripped from the tabloids, it seems, almost. Well, I think Livrod was, she was like. The tabloids are ripping it from there, Mike. From their life. I think Livrod was like, I'm going to be okay. One day I'm going to see Dutz at Albertsons. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. And what happened? Oh, then she stopped touring, right? Yeah, that was it. After that, she went to college. She said, I'm done. She said, I can't hear the music anymore. I can't hear the music.

All right, what's the actual boo-soos? Okay, so you guys know I'm an activist, right? Yes. I'm politically involved. And I'm into Activision. Yes. I thought you were talking about like a bathroom activist. You're like active in the bathroom.

I'm there too. Yeah, that's true. But in this case, I'm talking about politics. And this is a call to action, guys. This is big California Assembly Bill 342. I'm going to read you verbatim straight from the fucking legislative piece. Does it matter if I haven't read 1 through 341? You're going to be a little confused, but there's some recaps online that you can watch.

Now wait a minute. Is Tim just going to start filibustering and take over the rest of the episode? California Assembly Bill 342. This bill beginning June 1st, 2026, would allow. an on-sale licensee or their agent or employee to sell or give alcoholic beverages until 4 a.m. On Fridays, Saturdays, or specified state holidays within a hospitality zone, defines to include a hospitality zone and a special event. Hospitality zone established pursuant to the bill's provisions as specified.

Yeah. Someone is trying to get California to have the bars open till four. Wow. And is there, what's the official now, two or one? Two,

but the kitchen closes at midnight and they start ushering you out. The chairs are going up earlier. I feel like they start. I've been at bars, even in New York that are starting at like midnight. If there's just nobody around, they just start getting you out. It's like, hey,

but I'm here. That's what's funny is like, if there's nobody around, then like there's a lot of versions of what I understand, but sometimes in L.A., You're in a packed bar. It's way too early. And a grumpy staff is just, and like, I think that four, I don't need to stay at a bar till four, but I do want to stay until two.

You want to stay until you're ready to leave. Exactly. I want to stay until they talk to me on the street. But I feel like bars in L.A. Like if there was a legal last call and it was 4 a.m., I feel like they'll probably close at 2.15. Right. And then that would be like a normal life. That's funny because it's going to take some time for people to, like, realize bars are open that late and get used to that, like, style.

of going out. You know, because people, if you go out now, you're like, yeah, I'm going to start drinking. I know I have to be done by 1.30 or two. But now, it's going to be exciting. I hope that passes. I'm a little, I think that's pretty fair, maybe a little too fair. What's this whole thing about the entertainment zone? So basically you would have to apply.

So this is this bill is for all of California. But like cities would like L.A. would like offer up what their zone of bars. So it's not, it wouldn't be citywide. And it wouldn't be statewide. it would be like the way that the Santa Monica Promenade now has open carry. Yes. I was wondering if that took. Not open carry.

Open container. Imagine? Yeah, there's one shopping mall where you can shoot. Servers coming out of the beach. Chest holsters. But, you know, I think what they ought to do is because a lot of bars can't afford or a lot of places can't afford to be open that extra two hours. I say,

give it to everybody, you can be open till four. And if you're a bar that can sustain a customer base to stay open till four, more power to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This double hurdle of like

you gotta be within the fenced in area and then you can do it. It's just like any bar that can be able to do this should be able to, and I think it should be determined by do you have a healthy customer base supporting you until for you. Right.

And I fear that if this goes through, LA's hospitality zone would be like the sunset strip or something. Yeah. And I'm there every day. But I would love it. Imagine if it was like Silver Lake and Los Phila's. Yeah. But even just like Vermont and Hillhurst, like that should be an entertainment zone.

Or what are they kind of hospitality area? Hospitality zone. You know what's a fun thing that some places do, some cities do is like just shut down a street. So all the bars around it has this like crawl feeling without any danger, the feeling of danger. So it's like if, you know, that strip in, I'm thinking of. of Echo Park between El Blade. I mean, did they do it at the... Just like opening it all up and just having...

Like, that would be a summer night to remember. A promenade. A promenade. A promenade. I love standing out in the street. It's the best. We used to have the sunset junction music festival. Standing in the middle of sunset boulevard, look at me now! And you're like, it makes it feel like the whole neighborhood is open rather than just like a bar or two. Yeah, exactly.

Did they do that at the Texas T-room? It's a community builder. No, I guess cars could drive through there where we parked in front of the Texas T-room because there were barricades, decorative barricades. So I think that maybe we just missed or there was a block party set up on that street. That had a bunch of cool stuff. Yeah, it really was. After our show, we ran over to Rat Boys show over at another bar.

And another bar. Dada's. It was crazy. It's fun. Dada. Well, as it sits now proposed, Bill 342 remains under consideration in the California legislature. and it must still pass committee stages. I thought so.

And both legislative chambers before reaching the governor's desk, Gavin, get that signing pen inked up. Because this thing, I hope it's coming your way. Ooh, he's going to give it the gruesome-newsum text. So, wait, we want gruesome Gavin Newsome. That's good. He should run with that. He should run on like sort of a Guar Sarasquorum-esque campus.

Yes, a Frankie Freiko. bubbling system. Yeah, yeah. Like my pet monster looking guy. So we want yes on 342. Yes on 342. It's not one of those deceptively worded ones where we actually want no on 342. We want yes on 342.

We want yes, but I don't, we don't get a vote. So call your legislators, folks. Yes. Remember there was a Simpson joke where Homer was running for something. They played an ad and they misspelled on it. It was like, vote yes, no, 247. They're like, well, no. Wait a minute, that made me think of

Oh, Tim, when you were reading that thing, I thought you were going to say like houses can open bars We were talking about the copy's hide away Now wait a minute, now is J.D's pad, J.D.'s place. Yeah. Kind of competition. Is it kind of competition? Or it's like you hang a Jadie's pad and then the after party's over.

Do I see a tiger room? What the fuck? The Panther Lounge. That's actually the Cougar Corner over there. You're filled with silver boxes. Ooh. Yeah, you can go back to it if you want. Ooh.

I don't want. Exciting stuff. Yeah. Gavin, we know you have your eyes on the White House. Maybe you've got to start, make your California constituents happy before they're going to give you their presidential vote. Yeah. Maybe you stay out campaigning until 4 a.m. at the bars. He's fucking weird out.

Get over and join. Come on down to J.D.'s place. Get on the sloppy boys podcast. Yeah, shit. And you know, you don't have to just do Adam Friedland. Yeah, we're political too. Yeah, we can talk about that stuff. We thought of voting.

I was going to vote. I was going to call you. No, I vote at all. I vote a couple times a year. Well, that's it for Booz News, is it not? Wrap it up. Vote or die, motherfucker, voter die. Rock the voter else I'm going to stick a knife through your eye.

Democracy is founded on one simple rule. Get out there and vote or I will motherfucking kill you. Oh, and now we turn. our attention to the drink of the day. This is the sort of crown jewel of the show if you're just tuning in. A lot of new listeners out there. Yep. A lot of new listeners. They found us on the road. A lot of people, I guess I'm just having a drink at this bar in Texas. One of these amazing sounds

coming from the stage. Why is my foot tapping in such a way? Yeah. Why am I subscribing at patreon.com slash the slobie boys? I'm usually such an uptight curmudgeon, but I'm letting loose. I'm putting my hair down and I'm loving it. I have to just give it up for my boys. We did that, I think it was the Denver show when we there was a somebody's girlfriend in the crowd who hadn't

heard of us but was having a good time. We made her come up to the phone. Yeah, yeah. We need to be able to read your expressions. He said, who's a Megan? That was our word for anyone who brought a partner who's never seen us before. And Megan's in the room. I brought Megan. Okay, the drink of the day. The Chartreuse swizzle you've had.

No. You've heard. I've heard. I've heard of it. And tell us where you've heard of it. On the text chain. No. It is new to the IBA cocktail list.

The very list we conquered a year ago. IBA is coming back. They got something going out over there. Somehow the IBA returned. Without us shining a light on them, they persevered. They're like Burger King. They said, you know what? We've been failing.

We're going to turn it around. Better and green. Hey, we know what you think of us here at the IBA. Then we're going to turn things around. Well, Jeff, you pointed out this drink is very similar to the swamp water, which was a 1970s. And I thought we drain the swamp.

Stop. I don't know if that's true, Jeff. From what I'm seeing in the news. Okay. I don't know if it's true anymore. Chartreuse pineapple lime? Is that what was in the swamp water? Yeah.

And it was a 70s party drink, Swingers party drink. Yeah. Created by Chartreuse to try to sell this monk liqueur. when it was slumped. That's so funny that like some they had there were some advertising agency got the what is it the rights? They got the

um, the bid. Okay. The bid on that. I think you're right. The bit. These these Carthusian monks were like we're trying to sling our liquor. They won the campaign. And these ad men were like, we're going to sell it to fucking swingers and people who cheat on their wives. Yeah. I'd call it swamp

water. We're going to call it swamp water and it's like we're going to have ads in Time Magazine. that say, would you invite her to your swamp water party? There were all these kits you would order and it had like all kinds of swamp water stuff. But I think by calling it swamp water and having like a sexy alligator with eyelashes on it, it was sort of, it sort of felt like conversation pit orgy like like come on in. The swamp water's fine. It feels like the thing that was kind of happening in like early 2000s of like fake trashy stuff.

Yeah. Like a little bit. I guess happens all the time. Like kind of celebrating. a trashy thing, but it's like very procured, you know, in a way. Yes, curated. Curated. Like, I think of maybe not early 2000, but like when a restaurant does like,

a nice take on street food. It's kind of like we were calling it, you know, the sidewalk hot dog. Or even like a big scorpion bowl, which is like, everybody gets a straw. We're all drinking out of one vat. Okay. So I thought that the history would be someone saying that they were doing a riff on the swamp water. No mention.

This drink was invented in 2003 by San Francisco bartender Marco Dionysus. What a name for him. Interesting. That can't be his birth time. Dionysus. The Dionysus is like the... The wine god. Yeah, right, right, right.

Yeah, that's cool. Very Dionysian. Dionysian. Dionysian. Well, I could tell you what Marco, how he invented it. But we just hear it from the man himself. I'd rather hear a review. There were a series of cocktail competition sponsored by Chartreuse starting in, I think, 1998.

And I was already a fan of Chartreux, and it entered every year for four years. I won once with a hot drink. I took second place once, third place once. One year I didn't place. And the fifth year, I had kind of run out of ideas. Every year, I kind of came up with a couple different cocktails and picked the one I thought, had the best chance, the one that I like the best. And I had done kind of everything I could think of with Chartreuse and decided to go in kind

of a different direction. And it almost didn't enter the competition, but ended up winning. And that was the one that seemed to have the longest legs. That was from Radio Embib. So then after that, the drink didn't take off right away, but Marco's the type of guy who's like bartending, helping open different bars, designing the cocktail programs in San Francisco. and he's putting it on his menus. And then eventually one of the owners is like,

that's good. Put it all my menus and it. Bibbib, San Francisco likes it. 2000s Blasosphere. Blasts around the world. See, I like that. Marco isn't going to let one loss get him down.

No. You know, he reminds me of us in a way. I was the Trinidad sour, also a competition drink? That's cool that like, yeah, drinks companies have competitions and that's fun.

Yeah, But you know, the Long Island iced tea was a triple set competition. Yeah, that's right. Competition or not, whether it's for a podcast or competition, first crack at a drink, he might not always crack it. Nope. Like the berry pie, still in the works. It's still, and we've gone back a few steps.

Like the Black Lagoon, my fish sauce drink. Didn't get it the first time. We're still waiting on this. You still working on that? You still working on that? You're still working on that. There could be a return. I would say you're from the creature.

Maybe the creature doesn't have so much soy sauce in this time. he's not soy sauce at all this time. Yeah, maybe it's not even a Black Lagoon. It's a crystal clear drink. You got to persevere, folks. Yeah, that's true. This guy persevered. His drink eventually took off, and then two decades later,

the International Bartenders Association added this drink to the list, mere months after the sloppy boys had conquered that list. I have a feeling we help spur some of their movement. All of it. I think so. Is there a timeline on the IBA website of like, there are, like, here's the history of the IBA. No.

I think that they should have one. I think they do have that history. It's like in book form in the Smithsonian, but I don't think it's online. Yeah, they should put it online. And then on it in 2020, they should say it's sloppy boys conquered us. Yes. A couple of new drinks were added. Or like the first like in 2020, it's like sloppy boys interact with the first time with

the IBA in four short years. They have conquered us. Now, here's the, the. chachew swizzle recipe. Swizzle is like a they're typically rum drinks but it's like a strong drink that you is it's named for the swizzle stick it's usually

served with crushed ice but it's kind of a rumy you know like the rum swizzle okay so here's the recipe 45 milliliters green chartreuse. Nice we'll be using Luxardo del Santo. I love it. Nice. Everyone you should do the same

it's hard to find green chartreuse because the monks that make it only make a certain amount. There's been a boom in last words and charchoos swizzles. So, um, I also think distributors, it takes a, it takes a hero like Luxardo Andy to step up and bring Del Santo to the masses.

And we met him at our show in Fullerton and he's a hell of a guy. Um, 30 milliliters fresh pineapple juice. 22 and a half milliliters fresh lime juice. 15 milliliters, fullerum. Does it have to be fresh?

No. Beltletful. Learn of this. Now we have it because in episode two of the pod, we made zombies. And I feel like we got to dig it up for something weird. Just recently. Yeah. And another teaky thing. It's some, it's a liqueur that is made originally in like, in like Barbados on like a sugar plantations. They, they make it with sugar and then they add cloves and a bunch of spices to it. We had it on the road because somebody in Pittsburgh gave us a bottle of craft for Lurham and we liked it. Correct me if I're wrong, but Barbados. is where Rihanna is from. Yes. All right. Thanks for the non-correction. Yeah, well, you weren't wrong.

Got it. Here's the method. Pour all ingredients into a tall glass. Add pebble ice, Jeff. Pebble ice. I hope you went to... Um... Hmm.

Well, to the place that we... Coffee bean. Oh, but isn't it a chick-ballet? You can get a free cup of... Oh, or something like that. We had some nice ice at canes, but folks listen to the blah. We talk all about our...

And more exciting stories than what we ice we had in Cains. Raising Cains gave us our cups with ice in it and then sent us to the fountain. I was because the I was guessing because there was no ice of the fountain. It was maybe broken or something. That was that was very strange to me. Good ice though. Great ice. With the help of a swizzle stick.

I have. Or cocktail spoon. Hey. Mix vigorously complete by filling the glass with more pallialized, Jeff. Oh, God. Darnished. with mint leaves and grated nutmeg. I don't have that shit.

And guess what? One more piece of place. One last. One final pebble! No, I don't have mint, but I might have nutmeg. We can do nutmeg.

Nutter. Love it. Nutter. What would you say to some mint oil? What would you say to some mint oil? I don't think we really need it because I don't want to change the taste. I just want to, that's a garnish.

Okay. What about this, ma'am? Boat. We're going to go swizzle these. sticks and when we come back first sips on the what's it called again? Blowout JD's Place

No the name of the chartreuse Swizzle. The Sharchrish First Sips on the Shartreuse Swizzle. Here on J.D.'s Place. On the back! Shartreuizzles in hand. And let's say

I mean these are very nice swizzles sticks you have. Oh these are vintage glass little tachatoos and little birds. They're really cool. It's a You've got a glass menagerie. I like these little guys. What are you got a seal over there? No, you got two can.

For the T-Man. I'm going to take my swizzler out because I don't want to break it in half. I think I'm going to. Yeah. But we did aggressively swizzle. I'm not really impressed by the yield of this drink. Just because, I mean, frankly, folks, we didn't have pebble ice. If we had pebble ice, you'd fill the whole glass and it'd be a big slushy.

I like it. When any time you're disappointed in the yield is funny because it's, it's like, you know you could just add up. It's like a half an ounce, two ounces. You know what's going, but you're thinking, I mix them this up. He's going to gush, man. It's going to be an overflowed water. Like somehow a bunch of volume is going to come out.

It's like streaking oil. It is funny. I kind of said how many times I am surprised by like, I'll pour him like, oh. Or it's going to fill it up, baby. This smells great. Here we go for tips. Giles. Smells refreshing.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Holy shit. That's a fucking summer ass drink. Whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa. Where have you been on my life? This is, I remember I bought the swamp water,

uh, Mason jars that I saw on eBay, thinking like, oh, I should have these. We're going to love this swamp water. And liking the swamp water drink, okay. Right. And then being,

looking back and being like, I didn't spend $30 on eBay to get these mason jars. I'm never going to use these again. But this, but it just reminds me, I, I think I like this much more than I remember liking the swamp water. Now, do you think you could use the mason jars for that, for this?

Sure, sure. I think so. The mason jars should still be in play either way. Sure. But the taste wise, the taste. That's good. This feels like tiki adjacent to me. Yeah.

It's very refreshing. I'm looking up with the specs on the... I'm going to say it was more pineapple juice because this isn't nearly as cloying. Now, what was the liquor in here was just the charteroose? Oh, Tim. You could just simply go to sloppy drinks. I'm at sloppydrinks.com. Was it just charthrus?

Was the alcohol in here? Yeah. Right. Well, Fleran, does Fulernum have a little bit in it? Yeah. But it's like, it's light. It's like 15 or so. I could even, look, I love this drink and I know I'm jumping head to a second round.

Which out we're not there yet. I can drop a little rum in here, too. Just on top. Just a little rum floater. Oh, a floater. That would be fun. Or like a, or like a, yeah, like a nice around rum taste. Mike, Marco Dionysus.

said that when people do soup this drink up, they tend to use overproof rums. I'm dying it's here. Okay, I got the swamp butter recipe. It was only an ounce and a half of green chartreuse and then six ounces of pineapple juice and a quarter of lime.

So that was a big juicy juice belly heartburned sure makes your jizz delicious, but that's not why we do this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But ain't no one doing that. You're not trying to get in the pit with your best girl with this. This is,

This is divine. And I got to say it, though, and when you're drinking a charteroose drink, you want to taste chartreuse. It would be a shame for it to get buried in there, knowing it's such a rare bird. This is elevating. Knowing how many monks,

how so many monks stayed so silent to make it. The lack of decibels during the distillation process. I saw a video of one of the monks was carried a big barrel. It got off his, you know, shoulder and fell onto another monk's foot. The other monk was like, his face turned purple. Now he is allowed to be like, ah,

he can't add another like, he can't go, ah, that's a word, that's a sentence. Two sounds, two letters. But you can say one letter really loud.

Ah! And they make sure, everyone knows like, there's no H on the end of the. Capital A, long A, vowel sound. Um, damn, this is,

oh, When I picked this and I was like, oh, it's probably going to just be another swamp water. How wrong I was. You got to make a decision and go through it and learn. Yeah, this is fun. Very fun. So just like if juiciness may be the problem with most cocktails on the whole, right?

But a big old flabby, juice, belly, juice, sweet. When you're out and you don't want to order a cocktail, you're probably worried it's going to be juicy or sweet. So cocktails are supposed to be stiff. The whole thing with cocktails is keep them stiff. Yeah. It's nice and cold, too. On this hot summer day, it does feel like very refreshing, very appropriate for the clean. Isn't it funny? It feels like pineapple, phleurneum, and lime almost like makes more chartreuse taste. Like if you don't have chartreuse, maybe you just have those together.

It's kind of chartrusia. It's a good sub. Maybe we find out three of the 40 ingredients in the chartreuse. Hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Let me tell you this, Jeff. So I'm staying over at Tim's house, right? Yeah. Hosting a fantastic host.

TK's place. We go out, TK's place, TK. Lounge. And I'm lounging. And yesterday, yesterday morning, we said, let's go out for some egg suvids to the whole Starbuck. You know, Tim Walk experience. Yeah.

I got the full treatment. We're in there. We're talking. Two of the employees recognized Tim. Tim's catching up with them. I'm being introduced around to people. Hey. Passing Mike around the room.

You know, in Goodfellas, the scene where Deborah Winger finally, Lurine Brocko meets the whole family. It was like that. Passing Mike around, passing around. Hey, how we've heard. A bunch of two-handed shakes. Yeah, yeah. People put in envelopes of cash in his hand. It's the look to you and you're a baby.

A kiss on the cheek. They're all Starbucks cards. So that was exciting to see. Then we're walking down the street. And Tim had two pep up type moments. Just passing somebody, hey. And didn't say pepping up. But it was very like, this guy.

is known on the block. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it really, really was. It was fun to see. You got, it's scary being a pillar of the community like that because people got eyes on me. If I do anything wrong, it'll be canceled. Right, right. It's gonna be tough on the community. Right.

At one point, he, uh, got really mad and punched through a window of the store. I don't know that was about, but the community didn't like that. Was it an old person? Yeah, I think an old person inside. He just sort of shoot his fist on. A lot of this, a lot of the seniors have it out for old Tim, I hear. Well, because he's not for them. Any headway on the, um, um,

what, you know, Mealyn kind of brought up last week on the Mealyn report. Yeah, the elderly protection. Any, uh, I haven't fought with an old person, uh, since. Any olive branches between you and the, uh, silver community? Uh, not just yet. I'm waiting for them to reach out there. Yeah, they know where to find me. This is like a union strike. They've got to come to the table at a certain date.

But it is funny, like, um, that my altercations are always with old people. Um, and that, I feel like I used to have a problem with dormen at bars. Yeah. Like, for example, the one that beat me up. Right. But I remember I was in general, I had a lot of, you know, like, I'm a guy that could take a lot of,

I wouldn't say I'm thick skin, but I would say I'm non-confrontational. But for some reason I was getting in a lot of verbal altercations with security guards at bars. We had differences of opinion about my behavior. where I should be within the confines of the bar. So now, now I've reached middle age.

I'm no longer causing a scene at bars anymore. So now I'm looking to, who's the new authority figure for me to fight with? Oh yeah. Because you're just going to old. It's the elderly. Right. Right.

I mean, you do cause a scene at bar these days, but it's with me and Jeff and it's a sloppy boys. It's a positive scene. It's a musical scene. Yeah. No one would complain, hey,

a cool DIY punk scene just popped up in this bar. I'll tell you, this is a great drink. And the pineapple, Tim and I were just talking about how pineapple feels like such a 70s thing. If you look at these Instagram accounts about like hosting in the 70s, disgusting pea green backgrounds with a ham. It was like bright yellow. Yeah. Oh, yes. Why the pineapple all of a sudden made like, we need a big yellow circle on our on our hair.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The hot shit, man. Yeah. It's just the way that those are photographed. They look so like the color. are so because back then like it's like the film and the printing everything was just like tan the paper was tan all the colors were muted like when you watch we were just talking about this in the car yeah about if we went back in time you'd feel a surprise thing pro would be the lighting

you'd be like whoa it's not so halogen yeah yeah yeah because when you when you're when you see representations of the 70s and stuff it's all in that sort of like the color palette of the medium, be it film or video or whatever. If you were actually zapped back there, I think it would probably seem really colorful. It would, yeah. Oh, I see what you're saying. You know what I mean? Just because I think it would be.

I'm thinking about something. I was like, if you walked down a street in the same street in L.A. today and then back in the, let's say, 50s. Yeah. Not even that far. But just like the fact that it wouldn't be as many bright lights and stuff, I would be an interesting feeling and I wish we had the technology to take us back there. That's the only reason you're interested in time.

And I want to know what meat tastes like in the day. Oh, yeah. And I want to have one of those old bananas. He wants the old bananas. I want to meet Gandhi. Gandhi. Yeah, over here, buddy. Stop that hunger strike.

Let's have a hamletal. It tastes great out here. There ruts. That was the issue. His hunger strike was about that he couldn't find a good enough banana. He's like, they're not making rungs the same. Now, you bring up a good point about a floater, huh? Doesn't he bring up a great point about a floater too?

He brings up a good point about a floater. But you got to imagine that's going to look pretty ugly. Yeah. You're going to have this green yellow drink with, uh, well, do you have any, um, some brown floating on top? White rum? Well, yeah, but I'm trying to make a funny point about like the, the, you finish your funny point and then I'll come in with his white rum.

Oh, just a floater in the truest sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looked like a floater in the truest sense. They have some Myers on top of there. What about Grenady? There's different tastes, maybe. Did I tell you guys? I have a plan.

A swamp sundowner, just in case we want to do grenadine. Ooh, maybe a good gradient. A, what's the sunset drink? Oh, God. Tequila sunrise. Yes. Tequila sunrise. That's what I was just saying, a sundowner might be a little.

Good episode, by the way. Staple of the 70s. Early, early. Rolling Stones inspired. Oh, yeah. We may talk about Mick and the rest. And that one? What about Keith?

That one? Keith, sure. We're talking about Mick, Keith, Ronniewood. Charlie Watson, that back. Charlie Watson, keeping the beat. Stop. Why? That's a good sketch. Why? Why? It's good.

Okay. Do you want to hear my plan? Yes. Yeah. This is just sort of another sort of JD's place type thing. I've noticed a smell in my bathroom. Oh, God. Is it coming from the toilet bowl? Mm-hmm.

For the longest time. I was like, it's not the toilet. I know what a bad toilet smells like, and it's not what I'm smelling. Especially after a certain act is performed. So for a year, I've been like, there's a weird smell in my bathroom.

I hope nobody notices it. Sometimes it's better. Sometimes it's worse. And I'm smelling around like the molding. And I'm like, is there like water collecting somewhere? It smells just like a little bit like locker roomy or something. Okay.

Funk. There's a funk. There's a little bit of a funk. Mildewy? I don't know if it's, It doesn't... So subtle. And for the longest time, I was like, it's not the toilet.

And then I read somewhere, you might have to replace the wax ring under the toilet. That's like seals the moisture. Okay. Yeah. So there's that. But then also, this might be gross to people. Here at JD's place. We're talking about the bathroom.

Yep. And it's stink in the bathroom. Okay. I keep the toilet seat down. When you piss. Forever. So you're pissing? Not in the toilet seats getting everywhere.

That explains my wet ass, currently. Not the lid, the seed. You just keep that down all the time? Why not? I can't. It's bad, no, you can't. And it's bad manners is bad habit. Bad hosting for JD's place.

Yeah, that's why people aren't showing up a JD's place. No, people show up. Oh, yeah. Give me a dim. But then, so I lift up the seat. I lift up the seat. The underside of the seat, not looking so hot. That's why.

And I'm thinking that might be part of the smoke. So it's been like a year since you've seen the bottom of your seat. Yeah. But in my mind, stuff's not going up and up and around and through the crack and into the bottom of the seat, but it is. Yeah. Because it's just splat. It doesn't have to go. It just has a drip at a time for a year.

Jeff, you got moldy ass piss in your bathroom. So here's my buddy. I don't want to look at it. Nope. Yeah. It would be so easy for me. I don't want to hear about it. Just keep the seat down.

Toss the seat. I'm tossing the seat. the seat. Yep. Replacing. That's kind of cool. Get a fun color. I don't want to scrub it.

I was thinking about wood. Oh, it would make you good. Getting a wood. I'll tell you something, Jeff. I've done this before because I want to change my toilet seat. It's a little more expensive than you think. What is?

A toilet seat. How much you think? I'm looking at 40 bucks. And I couldn't. That was online. I was like, no, I got to see this thing in person. I can't just worry. I think I was hoping for like 25, but I would go 40 bucks.

I have to. Yeah, you got to clean that up. That's disgusting. Next time you're over here, I'm going to clean that whole toilet. While I'm here, do it before. Here's what's a cool move. I'm due for a new toilet seat as well, but when you get one, match it with your shower curtain. Oh, the shower room together.

Let me say you've got to match it with the toilet because I could see myself coming back with like. Size wise for sure. But also white on white. Like you might end up with like an optic white seat on an egg. shell white bowl. And like that would just hurt my eyes. Like a black on a white would be cool. Black and white's fine. Any color. Any color or solid color on any. Like when we first moved into the Monterey. Yeah. We've probably talked about this. We had a commercial toilet. Tanceless. Just the, you know, like you go into a bar or something and it's just like a metal pipe with a big metal

handle. I have that my current apartment. You kick it. It's like tankless. It's just it sucks. It's a fucking jet. Yeah. I kind of. I wish we kept that. When we first moved in, the landlord was like, I was so excited about the toilet. She said, we're going to give you guys a new toilet. No. Like, Pam, Pam. We like the old toilet.

You got to understand. Toilets are a funny thing. You don't want to have anything to do with them until you got to have a lot to do. I want to get a fucking bidet attachment. I went to somebody's house and they had one. I was like, okay, this thing. I was like, this is great. I've never.

Yeah. America is centuries behind on this. It's crazy. You guys like him. I love it. I like it. I thought it was great. You like it.

I felt clean. I don't like a water going up there. That's, that's going to be happy. You'd be your thing, man, because I love it. Hmm.

I don't know. What about, what about that time you were in kind of a cliff jumping in a lake and you didn't squeeze your butt cheeks tight enough about a bunch of water went up there? That's why he doesn't like it. That's an enema. That's different. Yeah.

Broke your back and you just tie a tight towel. You're back together. It was like first day of school. Yeah, it was fucking terrible. That wasn't like freshman year, wasn't? No, but I was an R.A. So I was supposed to be an example of these kids. They were like sons to me.

Like, I got to get them back. Some of them, you know, eight, nine months younger than me. I take him cliff jumping and I hurt myself jumping off the highest part and sitting on the water. It sends a reverberating crack up my spine. I can't walk. He's thinking of yourself. In college, I'm going to go up. to the dorm and I'm going to make some

stoferes and just let it wharf. I did it. Let it walk. And then in two days I could walk again, thank God. Like Jesus coming out of the hole in the rocks. Happy Easter, everybody. I'll tell you what. I don't know if I'm going to I need a second one. This is really good and I'm enjoying I don't need one. I might do with what I have. I got about

half left. I might do a splash of rum just to see the taste. white rum white rum I don't know if I have Lincoln Ray's white overproof there you go

overproof and I might do a little splash of something on top but I am going to make another one I might not finish it

it's kind of early in the day here Lincoln Ray Ray and nephew yeah what's Lincoln Ray though Link Ray is the

the ramble brown brown brown but there's also link in something that's like a YouTube

duo who And not to be confused with Lincoln Hopps. That's the sausage and beer restaurant. Hey, speaking of sausages, right before this episode, we cut our so. We cooked up and cut into some very nice bratwurst from Furndale Farms. Oh my goodness. Turkey, some of the best turkey sausage you'll ever eat in your whole fucking life.

We each had a beer turkey brought and a cheddar turkey brought to the dome with pickle on bun. The people that are putting cheddar into meats, thank God for you. These are fun events. It's about time. It's about time. It's about that time. Ferndale Market from Minnesota. Go online now.

Folks, we'll be right back after these messages. Round two with a Chartreuse Swizzle. I topped it with a little dab of Myers rum. I did another type of rum and we kind of came up with a new name for this drink. The piss and shit. Brown rum on top of the yellow drink. Swizzle, you don't understand where that looks like.

And in the brown, it just kind of looks like a diarrhea. It looks like Jeff's toilet situation. But you got a solid half and half. I saw you went for the crack and black rum. Yeah, and it's too big of a porcel.

Yeah, it's a giant fucking poor. But the piss and shit, see if it's good. Maybe the pissly shit will take off. I topped mine with some Ray and nephew. Ooh, that's good. I got a little stank on it from the Myers.

Piss and shit needs a little work. This is good. great. I put just a little splash of super strong rum here and it's great. But you swizzled after right? It's not just, you didn't just take a sip of the LMFAO. I lazily. On the top of your No, I lazily swizzled. Now I'm remembering I was supposed to aggressively

swizzle. Listen to this one. Oh yeah, I got to just cool back in my drink. I'm going to swizzle so fast. I'm going to break this little swizzle stick Jeff gave me. Yeah, it's class. Where, where, where. You know what? The biggest regret of the day is for me so far is not turning on the AC during that last break. Oh, you're fine. I'm just sweat.

Your leg is in the sun. You see this shirt I'm wearing? I know we don't like to talk about the shirts online or on the show, but it's got the dentist. Thinthous collar? Thick collar. It's kind of a hip cut. Thick collar? I really got to break this thing in.

Is it tight? Is it crawling up to not tight. It's not tight. But when I take it out of the dryer sometimes it's right up there. It looks like a dentist. I was really excited about a T-shirt that I got when we were lived together back in the day. And then it was a bad cut and we called it the dentist cut. It was too thick of a.

But it was like a good logo. So I was like so sad and I tried to wear it. And it was before that look was like hip. It was just a bad, poorly made shirt. But it was like a thick collar tight and crawling up the neck going way up. It wasn't the party sorris shirt. That wouldn't work. That one worked out for you many ways.

Was it Wally World from vacation? maybe something. No, that was the one where you got and it was like distressed too much. Fake too much. I hate that. Well, have either of you guys tried the the heavy tea like the bear? Yeah, versions of it. How's it working for you? Because you're supposed to wear that like

I mean, it's a cool looking tea, but especially if you're trying to pull off the t-shirt and blazer look. Oh, I've now tried that. You're not supposed to do that with a normal shirt because then you get little wrinkles and it just doesn't work. But if you have that thick, heavy duty tea. This might be. a thick, is this a thick heavy tea? It had a little structure to it. It's just different

from most teeth. There's like a very specific like Instagram brand. I haven't done that. But I will say I got some teep, some pocket teas from Target, the Goodfellow brand. You know, it's like they're in store brand. I have very shorts. I'm good fellow. I got these pocket teas during the

fall winter. So they're just very, they're like very thick. They're quite thick. I've got some other thick teas from various places. a t-shirt that is sold to me so hard online is true classic. Have you seen these? I don't think so. Is that a pet.

Is that the brand I'm talking about? I don't think so. I think the bear probably has like an even, like the bear. Like, the burr. I bet you they have like a really nice. Yeah.

$80 t-shirt that they put Jeremy Allen White in to shoot that show, even though he's supposed to be like, you know, a man of the people. A kitchen guy. But true classic is the one where it's just like, it's tight around the bicep. tight around the neck roomy in the gut Rumi around the gut Hide your shape

man I notice those podcasters wearing those if you're watching a doughy barstool sports guy talking he's wearing a true classic but maybe it's good maybe hugging the bicep is good

I've found on the road my t-shirt's getting a little too small what I call arm pity like oh getting creep it up the style is too tight you know I feel like the style is getting bigger more drop shoulder and here I am like I've got like

I got a little tan line on the bicep and the t-shirts going up. I thought you were saying the body was getting the bigger. Oh, I just had a moment with this this morning. I told Mike, I put on these shorts and I was like, hey, I was about to go get a belt, but I don't think I need one. You just have to belt these and now I don't.

Like, saying it's a good thing. And I'm like, oh. Sometimes you get dute because right out of this dryer, you're like, hey, these fit great. And then after one hour wearing them, then others drooping again. That happens with my jeans because I try not to wash my jeans too much to keep breaking in and stuff. But then they just get loose and like...

I don't know if your jeans is too small out of the dryer and then after one wear way too big. I'm like, what the fuck? You got to catch me in that one half hour. You go to somewhere to get out of your car, put the pants on it. I'm going to catch me at the top of the parabola before I started the downturn. If you see me then, you're going to notice. Oh, that's a good fit. Okay.

Final thoughts on the Shartreuse Swizzle. Tim, hit us with it. I love it. It's an order again. It's a very, very good drink. And this is almost like filling a little gap in the drink scene to me where I'm like, sometimes as cocktail podcasters in a moment where you read articles and articles about the alcohol industry, hitting the skids and Gen Z not drinking and all this shit.

It's funny to say, as a cocktail podcaster, like name one other one besides the three in this room. Dale the girl. Okay. Paul Feig had a cocktail. That was more an Instagram thing. Well, I'm doing research and I try to shout it out if I, if it's one of the one, I listen to a show called Cocktail College. It's really good. I forget the guy's name.

And then there's a show called behind the behind bars with the David Wondrich and a guy. Good name. It was good branding behind bars. That's really great. Really great. But I think that it's funny. Like we, we, I sometimes wonder. you know, what's going to happen with drinks,

cocktail culture and stuff? And sometimes when you see these waves, when you're a part of one, you don't always know it. But when you know, like, oh, the 2000s was like a hipster wave bolstered by madmen or whatever.

We were, have been experiencing the COVID cocktail wave. Oh, you know what I mean? And as that goes away, I'm sort of like, is there, is drinking going to be,

I don't care about it being cool, but like interesting to me. Like, is drinking just masking an addiction or is it an actual hobby? You know what I mean? But I'm like, if we're just going to go in cycles of nostalgia and be like, hey, Tiki's back. Hey,

haven't done that in a while. Haven't done that well. Then it's like, and if you're a host in this podcast, that's not fun and fresh and interesting for us. But I think that I don't know, maybe this is a 2003 drink made for a competition and then it was big in San Francisco. But I don't know the genre,

but I do think like, this is a drink. I'll say, like, I can imagine a lot of people and women enjoying it, loving it. It's not a teaky drink. It's not a sprits. It's not. It's a, it's stiff.

Pretty welcoming to a lot of people. Very teaky light. You know, like, like teaky drinks can be can pack a serious punch and it's a lot of ingredients. So it's not very user friendly as a maker. They can just be like, I don't want a teakie drink because I don't want to be like on the floor after two drinks. This kind of fits in with, you know, the menu overall. Vandelle has a lot of clarified fruit drinks. I think that this would be the star of their menu.

Oh, yes. I even dare say there might be a way to kind of brunchify this. I think it's ready to be brunch. It's brunch ready. Even the name, swizzle, makes it sound approachable, friendly, daytime. Brunch. Everybody likes pineapple juice and charitrues.

It's an interesting thing right now that like, I read that the company Chartreuse, they favor distributing to bars over liquor stores. That's why it's really hard to find on shelves at liquor stores, but you can sometimes get drinks. It's like it's a bummer that Chartreuse is expensive and hard to find out, but I do like these copycats. This Luxorneux is delicious.

Oh, it's a hell of a taste alike. Yeah, there's a lot of them, some of them cheap and fantastic. And I do think that Chartreuse is like maybe replaced Frenette a little bit as a bartender's favorite because it is 100 proof. Oh, and wait, isn't there? one that mixes yes, yes, the industry sour, does it not? Phrenet, lime, simple, and green charteroose, equal parts, shake it up.

That's a hell of a drink. And this is like that, but more approachable. Yeah, so I think that Marco Dionysus, you've energized us. I almost said excited us, but Kanye says you should say energized, not excited. And we might have apologized. I just heard something on a different podcast, which I won't mention you should only listen to this podcast, talking about the Austin Powers movie, that there's been the same amount of time since the 60s

that Austin Powers is parroting until the movie came out and then that till the movie until now. Does that make sense? Yeah. So if Austin Powers was made now, we'd be unfreezing a guy from 1999 or something. Sure. But the point they were making was there's been more innovation.

Forget about the movie. That was just a thing. We're film freaks. There's been more innovation in that 30-year period. than the second 30 year period because the innovations that are happening in the last 30 years are all like to advertise to get into your pocket a little more

rather than to advance science or I mean there's still good stuff happening AI AI is one AI but it's like there's Hintjana there's more repeating styles and takes on styles like we talk about clothes and as you're talking about drinks other than coming up with brands yeah And like, and we're not using technology.

We're not using our technological technological advancements for the people. We're not doing bullet trains and like, we're using them to space travel. Keep down the people. We're using them to keep down the people and extract money from their little pockets. Like, like, X, you know, Peter T. I think the guy was Peter T. I don't know. It was such a great guy.

Said something like, we've gone, we put money into Twitter instead of putting money into cancer research or something like that. You know, I just another one of these, the Austin Powers thing you're talking about, which I know we're not talking about the movie. I was seeing this morning, I was watching a clip of back in the day the strokes on top of the

pops. And they were playing last night. And I remember when the song last night came out, they got a lot of flack because it sounded like American. The intro sounds like the intro of American Girl by Tom Petty and the Heartro. It's also a little bit of Iggy Pop. Lus for Life. Yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah. Well,

all the, but bam, bomb, bum, bum sounds like, bang, ba bum, bum, bum. But I remember reading an interview. Sam Smith was like, hold my beer. I remember reading a Julian Casablanca's interview in Spin Magazine at the time where he was like, a lot of people keep pointing out that this sounds like the Tom Petty song. And let me just tell you, I know, I love that song. That's why I did this. And I was thinking about that.

I was like, I remember reading that when that song was new. And it's like the distance from the is this it album. And that Tom Petty song is the same distance that is now Julian Casablanca coming out with last night to now. Oh, wow. You know? And so now I'm thinking, like, I think that's a cool thing with all the people saying, oh, geese is too much like the strokes or whatever. It's sort of like, you're, you can't.

You can't. And I'm going to extend it to this drink. I'm going to say, this is a drink from 2003. But to me, it's fresh. It's 2026. As 2026 is something good taste. And it's from 2003. We hear that drinking is down with the youth.

Come back. That's why we need Prop 342. We need Prop 342. We need the Charchery Swizzle. The Swizzle's going to do it. Let's make Prop 342 T-shirts that have a swamp water alligator on. Grosome Newsom, get it done this November. For me, it's an order again and again and again, folks.

This is a standout. I can't believe the IBA is pitching us good drinks now. This is going to be like a summer, this summer staple for me. I'm going to try to make, like, see how I can. get around this and get around my get myself around it more and more. A sum of staple. I'm interested to hear. We love this, this lusardo green liqueur.

But there's a few others floating around. I like, it'll be interesting to, I might buy up some of those like secret monk liqueur or whatever the other ones are and taste them. Play around. Oh, true. Do you give your final thoughts? Oh, yes, it's an order again for me. Not with the rum floater. That's got to be figured out.

original recipe beautiful so wait what's your review of the piss and shit go with the structure swistle for now and not the piss and shit still needs work that's going back to the lab with the berry pie so much like the IBM cocktail list they went with the

shit they didn't do the piss and shit nay I have not looked at that I would love them if they put the piss and shit on that they hear from this podcast like let's get ahead of the game that's our show follow us on social media at the sloppy boys where we release these recipes ahead of time. And if you can't get enough boys, it's patreon.com slash the sloppy boys.

That's where you catch up on the tour. That's where you catch up on X month. That's where you help independent artists. How about that? Oh. We love you, folks. Yeah, I love you folks. And I love you guys as well.

Love you too and love the Chartreuse. Damn. I'm going to need to turn this AC on now. Folks, last thing you're great here is an AC. is an AC happening. Bye folks. Bye. Thank you.
