Hey folks, welcome to the sloppy boys where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton along with Mike Hanford. Hello. And Tim Kalpacquez. What are you? Is up? Oh, and we're your host, The Sloppy Boys, also of the Birthday Boys comedy show. Are you guys enjoying the clips?

I am loving those clips. Whoever's making those and putting them out there. It's me. Ah, no. No! The source fear. So you were loving the, you're loving the birthday boys sketch comedy clips

that have been posted on Instagram on the birthday boys account, but then the reveal that it was Jeff scared you like a horror movie. Scared me because I'm thinking, who would put these out? What wonderful person. Then I'm seeing it's Jeff.

I say, Jeff's no wonderful person at all. He's a medice. He's a villain. It's him. It's him. Folks, you got to be following at the birthday boys on Instagram. A lot of people don't know.

started off with the TV show before we got relegated, elevated to podcasting. Lateral moved to podcasting. It's just a pivot. Yeah, yeah. Now we own this show. Yeah, it is nice to see those clips. And we've all said it before, but there's been some moments where I'm watching. I'm like, God, I don't even remember this sketch or where it showed up, like how it fits

into the show. Oh, yeah. But great stuff. Great stuff. And a lot more on the way, folks. Give us a follow. And hey, we'll get it going on TikTok and YouTube shorts as well. I'm loving it, Jay.

Because I'm a comedy fan and I like to laugh. Yeah, it's true. And they also have aged a little bit like, it's nice to go away and come back, you know? In fact, you got to go away in order to come back. You can't just be there. I like it because it's like now people get to see them. Like they would be on the TV show, which if you were. lucky enough to have seen that if you were the one of the 100 people a night to see that show.

Right, right. But it's nice now to have more and more people to see it because I think it's gotten bigger. Like younger people are finding going, oh, wait a minute. This is neat. This is retro. How young? Are we talking like toddlers, newborns? Yeah, one to three.

Goo-goo. This is Goo Goo Goo-Retrao. I know. I heard someone was saying that their kids' first words were, can we boot up Pluto TV? and watch the birthday boys. Oh man. Give that kid a drink of water.

If your kid sounds like that, you got to get him to a hospital. Yeah, if his first words are a sentence about a very small streamer, get him to the hospital. You guys know comedy writer Raj Desai? Yes, yes. Very funny guy. He had a kid recently,

a second kid, a son. And I text him, hey, congratulations on your kid. And he goes, thanks. I really hope his first words are a truth bomb. Raj decide is a funny guy because I don't, I may have met him at a party or two or something like that through you, Tim. But I knew him on Twitter and he was very funny. Yeah, right.

A very same sense of humor as me and us. And it's just funny that now that Twitter has gone to X and who goes on that anymore, it's like, that's a bummer. I don't have any, I don't get that funny little guys, or that guy's funny little observations. Yeah, right. You don't get that free content. He was producing the Sarah Silverman podcast for a while. I don't know.

Oh, yeah, yeah. You met him on the Silverman show. I love you, America, yeah. But I had seen him do stand up way back in the day. Very funny guy. Yes. Good to see. Good to see.

Speaking of very funny guys, I wanted to bring up. So last week on the Sloppy Boys blowout, Patreon.com slash the sloppy boys, we had a guest a little mooky B. Yes. And it was a great episode.

We talked about Reddawbavers. You've got to be there. But what was very funny was I was listening back to the episode. Did you guys get a chance to listen to that one? No. It's very, it's great.

Great episode. Everybody listened to it. What's very funny is I noticed like last week, Both on this show and that show, I felt like we, the sloppy boys, were like, not totally locked in or just having kind of like a lazy week or something. I don't know. I already feel better. This week already feels like we're hitting it a little.

You know, I know I have an excuse for me, but Tim continue. No, I'm curious. I had a Zoom with Mookie earlier in that day to work on a pitch that we're really excited. And then I had a two-hour Zoom to do my taxes where I ended up owing. a lot of money. Oh, Jeff. And then I zoomed with you guys for three hours. So I was just sick and tired just being at my fucking desk.

Yeah. I was just spent all day getting psyched up for the pod, just thinking of like how fun it was going to be. You're putting the heat real hot in your house and just like doing workouts, that's drinking weight protein. Yes. Come on. Yeah.

Hitting a baseball bat into the wall. Well, Mike, you were sad because you had decided you were not going to go to the sphere to see fish. Oh my God, I forgot about that. Yes, yes. I've still said. What just happened? Did a branch just swing down into a tube screen? It didn't swing down, but it's been, it's been sitting there. I've got a hanging plant above me now. It's a beautiful pathos. It bumped to your head and I, for the first time noticed this vegetation. It's a really awkward position. I have to, I should maybe move it up or down just to keep going, Tim. You were asking about the sphere? No, I was going to say that when Mookie was on the, uh, the blowout, what's very funny

he's great, he's insightful, he's a funny guy, and the three of us sort of have the vibe. Like, we had the vibe of like a married couple, like, because we don't often have guests, you know what I mean? And we've never have guests on the blowout, rarely. But we had the vibe of like a married couple that has someone over for dinner that doesn't want to fight in front of them because we were like, we were jabbing each other about cross talk,

which is tricky when there's a guest. But then also like, Jeff and I were arguing about the size of the towels in my bathroom. and there was just like Mike, you were like going on and on about something and me and Jeff were like ribbing you

about talking too much and like Moogie just I was talking about the movie the chase. I was talking about the movie the chase. Exactly. So but Mooky's politely

just like waiting and then it's just exactly that vibe of like this couple is about to pop there's tension there's tension underneath but they like when you bring in someone new to the equation

they have to be nice. It's funny because that very situation was Mike's most cringe moment on that paywall blowout episode. Being in the backseat of a car of a couple like quietly, tersely fighting.

Yeah. Getting a window into that side of the relationship. It's like, I didn't pay for this. What am I paying for this anyway? Yes, that was a good, that was a fun episode. It's always fun to bring a somebody on who's a good friend of ours.

But you're right, Tim. Sometimes it's like four of the same comedy brain working together is like too similar it's too similar but also sometimes it's like

hold on guys I don't think the audience knows what you're talking about you've already been talking in a secret language well it makes for a great listen

nonetheless yes it was a great listen I learned a lot about that band I listened to a little red hot this past week and I was like you know these guys they're all right

it's okay stuff did you do the old stuff I got it. The old stuff is such a black hole for me. I dipped it a little bit, but I just kept leading into the singles. That type shit. That type shit.

Yeah, you can say that's been played. Addicted to the shin dig? That's one of those. Next time I do karaoke, I want to sing a chili peppers song just to see what some of those lyrics are. Like when,

when Moogie was talking about the lyric that was like, oh man, you were like the pink umbrella. It's like, keep your wet in your pink umbrella. No idea that's, those are the types of lyrics. I should have brought this up.

I distinctly remember when like Californication came out, like being in my bathroom mirror, being like, I could sort of do like an Anthony Echita's thing and like, like raising my knees really high and like kind of like pointing at the mirror and stuff. Just being like, you know,

raising my knees high. You're like stomping around. I know, I know. Getting those knees up there, man. Get those knees up, man. Oh, I'm glad I didn't do that, though. I'm glad I didn't take that out into the world. You gave it a test run in the mirror.

That's all it needed. It's like Jeff's doing kind of like a keytis thing for a month. I don't think it's going to last, but let's see. Like when you're when your kid, you're like, maybe I'll try this sort of thing. And it's like, why is Jeff doing exactly and only Anthony Ketus? It's not a type of guy He's one of one He's one of a kind

As we all are All right do we get into a little Booze news Bibibbibbibbib Booz news hit it You are now listening to You are now listening to You are

Bollies boose News Classic chord progressions from those three great guys was sent to us by Pete Funny Joke. And if you have a boo's news theme email to the Sloppy Boys podcast at Gmail. The new classic guys, the new classic guys. The new classic guys, yes. New classic guys. Sorry, Pete.

You got to get that right. Was that Pete who you reading that from? Pete Funny Joke. I like Pete Funny Joke. That's good. We've had Pete Funny Joke submit before, I think, and maybe even met Pete. Pete. I want to say it was Boston,

but I couldn't be wrong. That was a fun one. That was from our blowout episode. There was who could sing the highest note. And so those are our voices that he manipulated. Who? It was, I think it was like Tim.

I think you may got highest weirdly. Was that, am I right? I feel like two of us tied and one couldn't hit the last note. I think I tied. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe it was me and Jeff or you and Jeff.

I guess I'll have to listen at patreon. Go back folks and listen and help Tim out. Help him remember. So for Boo's news, I got a couple of quick follow-ups here for things we've discussed in the past on the show, which was this past Friday night, I found myself on the west side of Los Angeles. And you guys know I'm kind of an east side dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was my night had come to an end and it was kind of like what you would think would be prime time party time. and I'm on the west side. So I said, I'm going to go check out.

Yeah. The open container shit over at the promenade in Santa Monica. That's good podcasting, too. Mike, you got to be doing this stuff. Yeah, Mike, you got to do that stuff. I had an opportunity the other day to go to this walkabout drinking tour. I was like, no, I'm just going to go home. Like, sure, we'll record it all for you.

I said, I just want to go home. What did you do at home that night? Masturbated. Oh, wow. Why is sad? No, it's not. It hurts. It hurts me emotionally.

So, Tim, you're on the promenade. So I'm on the promenade, and here's what's shocking. I'm around, it's the third street promenade, so I'm walking, you know, first street, second street, around the corner. Ocean! I'm waiting to see a bourbon street, Mardi Grasque party. Yeah. And instead, when I see nothing, ghost town, tumbleweed. This is 11.30 p.m. on a Friday night. Nobody there.

So then I was like, I guess this ain't happening. And I was like, I guess I'll go to a bar. So I go to Barney's Beanery. Yeah. And I say, I get carded because it looks so young. And I asked the security guard. Like, you're probably a high schooler in a gray wig. And they're like, well, you've tricked us with your wonderful wigs.

Or come on in. You've earned a drink. Trick the bartender for your second drink. I said to the security guard, hey, is there open container out here? Security guard didn't know what I was talking about. Completely vacant stare. That's weird.

Not a listener? No. I go inside. I talk to the bartender. It ends at 11. So I had missed it by an hour and a half. Oh. And then I was like, oh, okay.

And I, that's bad. That's bad for the town. Defeats the purpose. Defeats the purpose. But then a, this, this dude, a kind of a regular, local, regular had overheard my conversation. And then he was like, what? You're asking about promenade? Like, you're looking at a party or whatever?

And I was like, well, I'm just curious about this open container thing. Like, I'm from out of town. Out east. I'm from Los Feliz. Actually, we did say that. He's like, where you're from? I was like, well, you know, I just don't come out here that much. But he said he he, he, I asked him, he started recommending.

He's like, it's pretty quiet here. So you could go to Cabo Wobo Cantina or you could go to the British pub. And I was asking him about the open decadeo thing. And it was like a vague memory to him. He was like, oh yeah, they do that. Wow. He's like no one really does it. And this seemed like a guy who goes and sits and has beers by himself at Barney's Beanery every Friday night.

And he was like, uh, he's like, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, No, no one really did that. He sounds like maybe he's more of an indoor guy. He likes to siddle up, saddle up. Saddle up? Siddle up is, I think I learned from Seinfeld. When he's like, yeah, it's a sidler. Somebody can kind of like siddle up.

Saddle up is when you confidently get on the school. Yeah, I think saddles. It's like, you swing one leg over that thing. Yeah. Whoa. So I don't know. I'll try again during the approved hour. but it really didn't look good.

It's not like at 1130. There was even anyone. There was karaoke going on at Barney's Beinerie, but it was a pretty small crowd. And I asked the guy if Cabo Wabo or if the British pub would be like popping off. And he's like, no, they're just open now. So it's like, no, you'll stay with me. You'll stay with me until I'm ready to go home.

You'll drive me home. What day of the week is this in? This was Friday at 1130 p.m. Oh, man. It's the prime party time. I wonder if it's, Like, you know, you see the open container in, what was it, Vegas and New Orleans. And it's like, yeah, that makes sense because those are like party spots.

You can't, you can't really like make this open container thing and then be like, at least my imagination was like, and then it'll be a party spot. It's like, those are open because they're already party spots. It just makes like legally more sense and probably just make more money like walking around with them. Don't know. Yeah, but it's so nice. out here in LA? Like, it's been like 80 degrees this spring. And like maybe if it just had block party energy or if it was like the thick of summer, we'd see people taking advantage of it. But maybe it is just like, you know, the zoomers aren't drinking or, you know, we've been tracking

that rumor for a while, the drinking habits of the youth. But also do you think maybe just the promenade is just sort of dead? Well, yeah. That could be it too. This plan was like what Mike was saying doesn't work was like this was about rejuvenation because the promenade had been dead but this has been since the law was this came into effect last June so we're like almost at a year and it didn't do anything and you're right that the zoomers are not drinking as much but then we learn last week they are really into buzz balls but those you buy at a grocery store you know and like they still see him at like you know 4100 or zebulon or something maybe just it's not it ain't the promenade yeah they're not doing the promenade yeah yeah

It's not like, I guess that open container is not what was keeping that place from being from being. Yeah. Right. And maybe it wasn't like, we'll do this and business will be back. You know, any, well, did you happen to hear any updates on the bar staying open later? I was going to ask. Oh, you mean California Assembly Bill 342 to keep bars open until 4 a.m. in specified zones? Yes. Hospitality zones? I can't believe you remember that. We have no, we don't know V's right or not. You look it up, you're like every word of that was wrong.

Is it 3.42 that? Like, it was all wrong. It's already been voted on it. And it's bad for us. The update there is it has not moved. I looked that up today. And there hasn't been motion. It's like passed through like two levels of state assembly,

but there's still two more committees. It has to move through. before it gets to Gavin Newsom's desk. Oh, man. Well, Gavin will take care of it. He's a Chad. He'll mong it, for sure. Okay, next piece of boo's news

is actually part of a new segment. Hit it, Jeff. Tim Time. Hey, welcome to Calpies Corner. I like to have this. When I'm in Calpies Corner, it's sort of a creative zone, you know, it's sort of a lyricist lounge where artists can

you know like share their works of art they're working on and get feedback. We haven't had CalPie's quarter yet. We haven't. Was that a jingle you just made or is this? I mean, I haven't heard that. Tim Time. That's, it's, yeah, okay.

That was inspired by Ham Time. Yeah, yeah. Which only happened recently. I mean, but Ham Time was really, was special, you know? And Tim Time, I feel like, it's Tim Time pretty often on the pod. Well, it could be ham time 33% of the whole podcast if you want.

I don't know if that's a recipe for success, Tim. Like, you know what the sloppy boys? It's that cocktail show about ham. Only 33% is about ham. Okay, so last week, I told you guys that I had got an idea for a mashup. Remember that? Yes. And I don't, I'm not.

Remind the people who maybe don't remember. Coming off a very good booze news theme by Rick Tapper that was sort of girl talk-esque with a bunch of samples. Yes. It reminded me that I was like, oh, I wanted to play you guys something. And then I kind of chickened out. And it was like, I don't really get ideas for mashups that much. But I'm not a DJ, Jeff. You're a DJ.

I'm not a DJ. You're a DJ Steve. those are the two type of guys. You either spin records at a party or you drink tomorrow after dinner. No, but I had gotten this idea for a for a mashup and I started working on and I chickened out of playing it last week. But then I brought in my mashup for you guys and I wanted to share it. Oh, to premiere on pod? To premiere on pod.

This is a Tim Kelbag is original match. flash up called the U.S. nation. Here we go. Just a friend. You say he just a friend. Oh, baby. Look at that. So what, what, how did this come into your?

I was playing guitar and realized they were the same courts of key. Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date? You have to do a slowing bad. A better year to make gloves you wanted you to wait. Wow. Let me tell your story in my situation. I was talking to this girl from the U.S. nation. It's so comfortable.

Mm-hmm. The U.S. nation. Oh. From the U.S. nation. Wow. Comedically. Oh, snap. From the U.S. nation.

Down south. Wow. It was so serendipitous. I didn't have to do it. Change the key. I didn't actually change the BPM. I just had to cut and move a couple of words. But that's because BIS marquee is naturally off tempo,

even on his own song. And off key. That's perfect. Yeah. That is an amazing performance. That's, what's it called? Just a friend, I think, right? Yeah.

It's so fun. I found the isolated vocal on YouTube and hearing him be like, oh, baby you. I love the part when he's like, she said he has a, he's just a friend. Oh, man, I'm not even trying to hear that. He just, he gets off of like lyrics and just like talking to the person. Yeah. He has one of my favorite rhymes ever where he says, and for the moment, I didn't know that I was in for such an event.

On paper they, E&T, but that you say it out loud. Ooh, that's tough. Have you heard his Benny and the Jets off the Beastie Boys anthology disc? That's a great one, too. It's just him singing Benny and the Jets. But that's really great of you, Tim, and really magnanimous to take that. from beyond the paywall this week because we're covering our memos and demos, Memos and Demos Three.

Live on the blowout this week, folks. That would be a shoe in for an episode like that, but here it is for all to enjoy on the main feed. Because it came up on the main feed and I didn't want to be too much of a, you know, sneaky Pete. But. Yeah, yeah. That's honest of you.

And that's what we do here on the pod. We're full transparency. Full transparency. Full transparency. we do we practice honest business well that's such a success and such a success for i love to see a new segment start off strong tim time calpi's corner a huge addition of the pod so what else can we see in uh calpies corner is this going to be mostly mashups that never got their due on on air or yeah or anything calvi related okay it's always a david bowie bismarkey matchup always i'm wondering if we're

going to see this segment anymore in the future. I'm just not sure. I think it's a good, it's a good, it's like the marketplace of ideas. It's like, you're familiar with like the idea of the men's salon. Sort of the Algonquin round table. Sports clips. Yes, like where people exchange ideas and philosophies. And it's like for artists and notables, philosophers. Yes. Yeah, Paris in the 20s is the vibe I want to be Talby's corner. Now, Tim, you joke. But now remember last time you were here, you saw me, I had a book called

The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway, which is about his time in the Paris in the 20s. Well, I am now 25 pages in. And I'm enjoying it. God, I can't believe that I joked. You joked about that. I shouldn't have joked.

It's a funny book. Like I said, I'm only early on and I'm enjoying it. But it's one of these books where it's like, I went to this place, the hotel de blah, blah, blah, and had this type of drink with this guy and this guy paid. And then I went across the street and met this lady. And we had these and I paid. And then it's like I got just lists of who paid and ate what and where and get me home.

And I think that at the time that was stylistically thrilling because it was like Hemingway had written for like a newspaper in the Midwest. So he was applying journal. style to novel writing. But so I don't know that, yeah, I think it's almost gonzo. Almost gone. You got to imagine he was an influence. The reason I, part of the reason I bought this book is because, A, I'd heard of it. It's a classic or whatever.

Never read it before, but the cover of the book looks so cool. It was just kind of like an old, felt old time. Now when, as I was reading it, the first couple pages, it started like crack and the pages were falling out. So I was like, well, I don't want to ruin this thing. because part of the reason I got it is because it looks cool. So I went to the library and got it.

Antique. He's like, ah, the guy at the library is like, yeah, we have one in storage. Let me go get it for you. And he brought it up and it was like two times the size of the book, the book I have.

And it was like, you know, when you, the paper on the edges, it's like gold, uh, gold leaf. You see him on Bibles a lot.

Yeah. It's like the gold edges. So it's that type of book. And when you open it up like, like the margins are like an inch and a half all around this edge of the book. So it's a little bit of writing in the middle on this big giant, stupid, heavy, like, leatherbound book. It's got its, it's got its own, uh, a bookmark that like lays into the, like a ribbon that lays into the book.

It's such an ordeal just to like lift up. I'm so grand. I'm going to read a chapter from my book. I'm like cutting my hands all over the gold edges. Well, is that it for the normal booze? segments. Yes, but Jeff, I hear you have something. I sure do. I have a major, I have a major podcast announcement. Oh, shit. Coming this May on the sloppy boys blowout, Mike, Jeff, and Tim, the new class of guys, return to the 2000s to witness the birth of an empire and the battle for the

soul of one of cinema's darkest darts. It could only be Star Wars Month on the sloppy Blowout. Join us each week as we discuss what is the Star Wars prequels, the Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Return of the Sith, and yet to be revealed. Fourth mystery movie. Join us all month long only in the sloppy boys blowout. Patreon. Wow. Slash the sloppy boys. Damn. Holy shit. That was intense. And that timing was fantastic. Yeah. Yeah, it was intense. And yeah, the timing was spot on. That was good. I'm excited now for, I mean, I was excited. But now I was excited. But now I'm maybe more jonesed and amped.

I feel like this is going to make X month look like a fucking steaming turd. Oh yeah. Yeah. Wait, have you guys, after X month, our hit month of talking about the X-Men movies, did you guys see any of the TikTok comments we got?

No. No. We posted some videos talking X-Men, and they got kind of like, they were like hashtag X-Men and Marvel, so they like got picked up by the Algo. Yeah, right. So like, comic book Normies are finding it. It's so funny. Like there are some very snarky comic book guys roast us in the comments of our video. That's good. That's good. We're going to have even more with

Star Wars Month here. We're just calling a Star Wars Month or prequels month? What do we call prequel month? I think if you say prequels, people know what that means. Or what do you think? Yeah, but Star Wars, they'll just hear and go, oh, I love Star Wars. That's a prequel. I'm already listening. How about Nibuian? NABU 30 days. Okay. 30 days on Naboo with the sloppy boys. Unlike X-Men where I was sort of like leading the charge and showing the boys,

we're all familiar with these. We've all seen these. I haven't seen them since theaters, any of them. Yeah. And this first chunk, these prequels was such a new move in like entertainment, Star Wars, obviously, but like entertainment and movies and bringing things back and the idea of a prequel, which is now just like such a way to just start over again. Huge.

Prequel. Huge. Yeah. And it's like, I'm excited for this because I, I remember them coming out. And I was, I Star Wars fan. I like Star Wars. But what's funny is like at the time that pre the, not just prequels, but like, don't mess with my childhood type of movies. Yeah.

Yeah. We're so used to that now that kind of doesn't bother. you, but like, even I was like very gatekeeping when those movies. Sure. Well, like, it was unthinkable. Like, why would you have these huge movies? Like, and now there's so much Star Wars. But for like 25 years, the three movies was like kind of all there was.

There was. Yeah, yeah. There'd be like extended stuff and maybe an EWAC movie. There's so much watering. Well, let's save it. Let's save it. We'll get into it. I'll save it.

I'll save it. No, guys, the thing was that George Lucas wanted to, but the Technology wasn't they. Oh, right, okay. Right. The technology. Yes, yes. Is that it for Booz News?

Proper. Wrap it up. Help you again. Yes. Ooh. And now with Booz News out of the way, we turn our attention to the drink of the day. This is the main event, folks.

Those of you just tuning in, now you want to turn the volume up as loud as your spouse can. handle it. The drink of the day is the grand margarita, a margarita with Grand Marignay, the orange cognac from France instead of triple sec. You've had?

No. I don't know if I called it this. Yes, Jeff. What did you call it? Cadillac Morg. Exactly. That Cadillac Morg. This is, here's what's weird.

Anybody who's anybody would call it. this a Cadillac Marg, either if it's Grand Marnier in there or if you got a little floater or a shot in there or on there. It's Cadillac. But the reason we're calling it the Grand Margarita is because that is how it has been oddly referred to when it was recently added to the International Bartenders Association Cocktailist. We're back. Folks, when we first started this pod, We were bound to the IBA, the International Bartender Association list. And we've conquered the IBA. We've escaped.

But we sort of every once in a while, like to return to, it's sort of an alma mater in a way. It's sort of the scene of the crime. Just to show them like, yeah, we're still, we're still doing awesome. We put on our old IBA jackets. Hey, what's up? How's it going? But they've got a lot of good additions lately. And we've kind of been picking them off.

I got to hand it to him. the chartreuse chartreuse swizzle is one of my favorite cocktails of all time yes that was fun yes okay so this one was added mere months after we completed the cocktail list two years ago they added this one and it's weird because we've done a lot of margs on this podcast but they only have margarita the tommy's margarita which is just you know tequila agave lime and and then they just added this. So this is one of the main, like, most recognizable margaritas. They just kind of said in a word way. But so to recap, the normal margarita, go back and listen to our Margarita episode. Margaritas come out of Mexico in the 30s, kind of a spin on the daisy. And then come to America,

get heavily promoted by Jose Cuervo and Quintro and get really big. Frozen Margarita comes out of Texas in the 70s. Huge. Huge. Huge. then you got people everyone's making margarita mix and margarita becomes the number one cocktail in America. Did you know guys know that? I did. What way in what year? Or wait currently? I think current. Well currently I've seen articles saying that like espresso martini is making a bid for the crown right now. But yes, currently it arguably the world we don't have a good way of like quantifying that. but definitely in America since since like the 80s. It has been the number one cocktail.

I don't know if I've, I think we've said that before. I don't think it really hit me. That's such an odd drink to me to be like the number one drink. I would have thought it was like a rum and Coke or something just the way. Right. Something easier. You know, like Bud Light is such a popular drink,

but it's not the best beer out there. I guess it's because non-cocktail drinkers also will have this on the beach or by a pool. or at a restaurant. I think that's the bit like with dinner, like a margarita of Mexican restaurant. Non-cox, right, right, right. Non-cox, yeah, that's what we call. Non-cocktail drinkers.

Well, it's not us. It's the demographic of the cetitions who are looking up this stuff. In Nashville, New Hampshire, where I went to high school, there was a big Mexican restaurant called margaritas. Mm-hmm.

Mm. I feel like I've seen restaurants called margaritas. I doubt it's a change. Just everyone is the name in the rest. It's just easy. It's public domain. you could just name it that. I feel like on tour, we saw that a resident.

We like laughed out loud. It's just the lack of creativity. Like margaritas, okay. You mean, one, margarita. In Nashville, this was exotic. It was like, ooh, margaritas. Yeah. Like, as a non-drinker, as a non-cock,

it sounded just like I had to be there. I don't realize you had a non-cock background. Oh, yeah. All right, you guys out of here. We can't have any non-cocks in here. We were losing. money with all the noncocks around. But I mean, I like them all.

I like, you know, like a scratch martini, a margarita, but like, yeah, when you're in the suburbs and you go out for like big plate Mexican and you have a big frozen margarita, it's fantastic. They're all great. Now, as far as this one, you know,

we have varying accounts. We can't really confirm who was the first person to put Grand Marnier into a Margarita nor can we confirm for sure who coined it the Cadillac. There's a couple of stories that all make sense. But the one thing we do know for sure is the reason this drink got big, the reason it's solidified in culture is that in 1984, it landed on the menu at El Torito, the chain, which came out of Encino, California and then spread coast to coast.

owner Larry Kano, who former World War II fighter pilot, who then he took over a Tiki bar and turned the Tiki bar into a Mexican restaurant, El Trio, and then grew it into a chain. Wait, is, what's the military to Tiki pipeline all about? Direct.

I mean, Don the Beachcomber. Was he, was he, was he, was he, was he, was he, was he, was he was like his, his, he, might be a stolen valor guy for World War I, but in World War II, when he was like older, he definitely was like, yeah, he definitely was Air Force. Cool. And then he invented the test pilot. Navy has planes, too, by the way.

I know, I know this. Go on, Tim. And Air Force probably has submarines. Yeah, sky sub, they call sky subs, Jeff. They're planes that go through the clouds. It is funny. It is funny that. Marine is the word that means water thing.

and then we separately have a Navy, huh? Get it together over there, military. Get your house in order. So in 1984, Larry, who owned this El Dorito chain, was like, look, I got all the suburban families and the moms. They're having a blast eating the chips, dipping the chips, eating, drinking the margaritas. But now it's the 80s. We got all these yuppies, go, go, go guys with a lot of money to spend.

So I want an expensive cocktail aimed at them. So he called it. He doesn't, we don't even know if he like, if he, he maybe was referencing a bar called Cadillac or whatever. I just took it as Cadillac because that's the fancy car. Like, this is the Cadillac of Margaria. Yeah. Yeah.

It's like top shelf. Yeah. All the fix it, all the bells and whistles, all the trim. It's got to be that. But then, so, and then once it was on his menu, then it was huge. I first encountered it in Los Felas at the defunct restaurant Mexico City. Yes, me too. It was like a staple there.

They had a nice array of skinny margarita. Skinny margarita there was just like an actual margarita without just like no agave, right? It was just lime juice, quontro, tequila. Yeah, they kept a good there. They had a bunch of variations without having them any be like sugar bombs. I thought that they had invented the Cadillac until then I was a few blocks down the street at El Chavito and they had it too and I was like, what the fuck?

This is a real drink. Chevito. That was a nice spot. RIP. Oh, fuck. They're all gone. Go on. That would just have to open up Calpies hideaway.

Calpies Cantina. Calpies Cantina. Brought to you by the Tiger Room. Sponsored by Kelpie's Corner. So wait, wait, wait, wait. The canteen is inside the Tiger Room. which is inside Calby's corner. Better be a small canteena.

Calby's corner is a segment of booze news, right? Or what? Yeah, but they're affiliated. Because there will be Kelpie's corners and Kelpie's hide away. Right. There has to be. There has to be. This is, Mike, this is all just like a shell game for his fucking taxes.

I know. It's doing well. I got rich on my taxes this guy. It's just so we're talking about him. We're talking about them. All right. How do you make this thing, Tim? Well, straight from the IBA,

an ounce and a half, 45 milliliters, tequila, 100% agave if you can. We're saying a blanco silver tequila. A goo. 30 milliliters, one ounce, grand marnier, French, orange cognac. Oh, I'll say. Half ounce, 15 milliliters, Joastilleam, fresh lime juice.

And the method is, Rim the rocks glass with good quality sea salt. Pour the ingredients into the shaker. Add ice to both glass and shaker. Shake hard for 10 seconds. Strain the drink into the glass. Strain onto the cubes that lay there. And then garnish with a limeslice.

The cubes that have been laid will now be covered in chilled liquid. Yep. Oh, that sounds good. Well, this has been a good segment one. so far. Yeah, I'm excited for this one. Because I know I know I'm going to like it. You know, sometimes we do these and it's like, oh, who knows? But there's nothing can go wrong here.

Yeah. This is going to be a good drink. Unlike maybe next week's folks, we're still working in the test kitchen on next week's special drink. But for now, well, we can say what it is. If folks have been here about the shit and piss, it's, it's coming, baby.

It's going. It's going. That's the tagline for it. The piss and shit. We got to dial it in because look, it's got to look a certain way. We want it to taste good. And it's good.

It's got to be good brand. We have a lot of options. We have a lot of ideas. We just need to lock in. This thing needs to take off. We need a hit here. Yeah. Time is running out for takeoff here.

All right, folks. We're going to take a little break. And when we come back for sips of the Cadillac slash, what's I called him? Grand Margar. Grand Margarita. Grand Margarita. Grand Margaritas in hand. Grand Marr.

Pretty, whoops. Pretty classic. Oh, these all kind of look the same. I like the, I like the hue that the Cognac brings to the game. Yeah. It's almost, it's leaning into that kind of like swamp watery look. A little, getting there a little bit with the green. I like that it's not like neon yellow.

It doesn't, it doesn't look like a TGI Friday's version of a Margarita. or something that's like, you got real ingredients in here. Earthy. Real ingredients, real margarita. For the new classic guys. Sips. Sips. Yeah, baby.

Yeah. Ooh. Give me a one margarita. I'll put it in my touch. Jump right to the end. That is, is that the fifth margarita in the zone? Yeah, if I've already going to put in my tush, I think. Give it one margarita.

I got to give you some heed. Now, she's not talking about putting the margarita in her tooth. She's talking about the guy she's hooking up with. Yeah, she's going to peg the guy at the end. With a margarita bottle? A bottle of margarine mix? I don't know. The lyrics are you got to listen to lyrics and figure it out for yourselves, folks.

That chick angel, one margarita. Check it out, folks. It's a great tune. And the video is shot at L. Sid. I'll admit this. I forgot to put fucking salter on the rim. It's too late now. You can't rim a fucking glass.

It's too late. It's too late. Oh, Jeff is so pleased with his salt rim. He's pleased as punch. Pisco punch, which we almost did today. The listeners love to hear about the also ran. A little peek behind the curtain. Also, the idea that that's an actual connection because it's like, you're like, Jeff's pissed as, he's pleased as punch.

Pis-Pis-co punch. We almost did it. But like, it's like, it's as if that is the correct exact amount that Jeff is pleased. So it's actually. He's pleased as that as that drink. Yeah. He's Pisco punch. We're worth pleased.

I'm glad we're not doing the Piscoe-Punch. That's one of the bottles that. hanging out in like the top cabinet, the one where I have to like get the stool to reach up there. You know, where I keep the weird shit. The Ouzo, Tim, thanks very much.

You know, my culture is not your costume, okay? Okay. You must still have that whole, like pretty much a lot of that bottle of Woonkeye, what was it called? Wuliang Yeh. That's up there too.

Wilyong Yeh. That's the by issue. You could never drink that. That's, that stuff is so intense. That's only for like Dairs or like a Molotov cocktail or I have no idea. Man, that stuff's wild. But yeah, that's up in the top cabinet with the Uzo, the Sambuca. You know what came down from there was the Kachasa.

I ran out of rum. I decided, give me that Kachasa. Give me that kachasa. Now wait, Koshasa had sort of that, it was sort of that grassy taste or what was that? Yeah, I did not like that. I think I got a version of it that was much different from when you guys. I think we like the Piscoe sour, though. I think we're all into that.

The punch is probably good. I don't remember. Do not remember that one. Ooh, let me tell you guys about, well, it was going to be, I was going to go to Sardis. You know that Sardis near Broadway. It's the bar, it's the cocktail bar. It's got, Jeff, you'd recognize it. It's got the little, the caricatures.

Did we go? Carricatures, kind of cartoon. No, we haven't been there, but you would have seen it like, I think in like the Muppets go to Manhattan, I think Kermit ends up there or something. But anyway, his picture's there. Okay. He puts his own picture on the wall and sits below it and everything's a fancy critic.

Yes, yes, yes. And that picture is in the, in Sardi's. But anyway, it's like, this classic sort of you go there before a Broadway show type of thing. Anyway, I went and I couldn't make it before my Broadway show, but on Saturday, I went to the 2 o'clock show of Death of a Salesman. A classic.

An absolute classic. Nathan Lane was Willie Lohman. The wife was, his wife was, oh, what's her name? Lori Metcalfe, and she was, like, I don't know anything about anything, but she's getting the Tony this year. That's what I got to say. Damn. I don't know anything about Broadway, but it was so,

powerful. What a play. I read that in high school, but... Same high school. Completely forgot the ending and all... Right. It's fantastic. I even... It's amazing.

The Dustin Hoffman movie version of it, which unfortunately turned out that's the set where he was being a sex pest and when he was kind of a little bit canceled. But it's amazing. But that cast, is Lori Metcalf from Roseanne? Yeah, that's... Yeah. Yeah. And so and then you're saying that Nathan Lane, this is quite a lavender marriage between the two of them.

Like did they read as a real married couple? I've never heard that term before. What's lavender marriage mean? Like when gay people are married for show. Oh, like a beard type situation? Yeah, a closeted wedding. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's the thing.

I thought that too. I was like, Nathan Lane, I had just watched Birdcage and that's what got me. I was like, oh, yeah, he's so good in that. And I know he's on in this show. And as I was going there, I was like, this is going to be interesting because he's such a funny actor, but like a funny actor.

And he plays it. I mean, he does a really good job. He plays it well because he's good actor. And Lori Medcalf, she's got some really heavy speeches and things. It was cool. Damn, that's cool, man. It's cool to watch like a play,

like a classic play done really well. Because I don't think I've ever seen good stage acting. that isn't a musical, you know, like actual, just a play. Well, you're in the right place for it, Mike. I know, and I could never manage to find the time. I mean, that's like something that was just not really a part of my life. I guess I saw like, I saw Les Mis. I saw Phantom growing up just because my parents were trying to make me cultured.

And, but, you know, people our age, when people our age go to plays, I'm always a little like, stunned. Like, does, like, you and Neil, I feel like, Like are people who will be like, yeah, I saw that play. Well, Neil, Neil and Fran, much more so than I am, and Neil specifically, he knows a lot of stuff. Yeah, he really does. I mean, I guess I was only thinking of Neil. I'll often be like, Neil just, I just want to tell me the plays that are happening.

What's happening in New York? I need to know what plays are good. And he'll tell me and stuff and I'll look them up and I'm like, oh boy, I don't even know what this is. This is a lot. Seems intense. Maybe if like you're an actor type too, you're more keyed in on like who, who is. good in the plays and stuff. Oh, you know who else was in it?

Who played Biff? Tim, you like this. He was in girls. Christopher Abbott is his name? Oh, yeah. He's like the guy who's not Adam Driver. Yes. He's one of the guys and girls who's not Adam Driver and not the,

he's like the good looking guy of the three. Wait, why would Tim like this? Oh, because you just watch girls. Oh, yeah. Well, he's casting something coming out. I feel like I just looked him up recently because of a deadline story. Maybe they're doing, I didn't, Prejudice?

Or like he got, maybe he got married to somebody. Oh, it's him and Aubrey Plano. Was it the casting announcement from Death of a Salesman? No. That was you thinking of? He and Aubrey Plaza and what? Are pregnant or something. Oh, right, right, right.

But I know what you mean, Jeff, about like going to see the, or trying to get culture, like your parents taking you. You're like, get cultured, go see stuff. And I kind of am. Sometimes when I go to like Broadway shows or something, I'm like, I'm just kind of doing it just to make a see. stuff and whatever, but this was a really fun event.

It was fucking cool. I don't know if Mike revealed to you that he's a museum pass holder. Oh my God. Culture is happening this summer in New York City. The Met, no, no, the MoMA for me. It's

MoMA for me. MoMA for Mama. Hey, MoMA for me. You don't want to go. Mom for me. And me, I'm going to bet on the Met. More MoMA for me. for me while Tim bets on the bet. Jeff, where will you be spending your time?

Comic-Con! Oh, God. Oh, you're going to the Jevitz Center. Comic-Con reminded me, during the break when we were making our drinks, I looked up our, our hater with comments on... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

X-Men videos. This was on YouTube shorts. We posted the video where... I mean, I'm not even really complaining, but I'm just kind of saying it out loud to get it straight. I'm like, I'm like, so Magneto, it's like, so Mystique injected a security guard with iron in his blood. And then that way Magneto was able to suck the iron out of his blood and make little bullets. And then it was like a funny clip because then Jeff, you're like, yeah, Beemies, that's all he needs.

And then you're just pushing around. Pretty lighthearted clip. But then we have comments here like, this comment, tell me you know nothing about comments. without telling me. You're the type of people who are friends only because no one can deal with the insufferable ego that can be seen through this clip. Somebody else.

Ah, yes, those who have not created shit are criticizing people more talented. A couple of clowns. Oh, my God. That's so mean. All of those are mean and wrong. That's so funny, too. Why would they assume we haven't created shit? Like, we're

on a podcast in the club. We're creating a podcast. Well, that's also funny too. Plus the podcast is second to the band. Of course. Dude, they know nothing of the band. Well, I mean, the blowout is the main thing. The clips are created and put out because they're funny. Like, the attempt is, like, we put that clip out because Jeff says the funny thing about the BB balls being shot all around. Yeah. And it's funny to be like, well, I didn't think that was funny. And also, I don't like any of your attitudes towards this legion of superhumans, super mutants. It's funny, though, because like, you kind of

can't go viral unless you get people being like, no, actually, these guys suck. Oh, yeah, we should do a bunch of crazy takes on the Star Wars thing. Oh, that's a smart idea. Like, I think the guy with the long hair who kept saying, I think that's Yoda, the guy with the long ears, long ears. Is his hair or his ears? Anyway, whatever it is, I think it's Yoda. Viral.

Viral. Viral. All right, where were we talking about? We were discussing. Death of a salesman. got us all the way over here. We should do the death of a salesman on the blow. And I feel like I, when I went, I'm in the Broadway, I've only seen like big musicals and stuff.

I would love to see an Arthur Miller play or like a David Mamet or a Tennessee Williams. I thought you were saying like, let's get our hands on the script and like produce like the sloppy boys in, death of a salesman. And we'll just. That's a great idea. I kind of like that. Just just produce it, release it. And be like, let's. Let's do on the blowout.

Let's do the first episode will be us reading the play. Let's do a reading of the play for the blowout. Just a fully produced three-hour thing. Get somebody to do the different parts. And then the next episode we will discuss. We will analyze the text. That's good. That's cool.

We could also pick a play that's, you know, like a true West or something with small cast and like something where there's only three guys. that's a play I've heard about a lot probably I only know it because Neil has a poster of when George or who is it? I was going to say George C. Scott, but it's John C. Riley.

And Philip Seymour Hoffman did it on Broadway and like switched switched rolls every night or something. They swapped rolls like every night and I think we saw it both ways. That's wild. Yeah, it's Sam Shepard.

That would be like a Sam Shepard would be the right That would be cool. Yeah. There must be like movies or that are like films of that. There's True West has one of those like, you know when you were a kid and you stayed home from school and you're watching weird TV. And then there'd be like those like it was like a play that was just filmed multicam, you know? Yeah. Like masterpiece theater type shit.

Yeah. That has such a specific look that. Any cinematographer and editor and stuff could explain to me what's happening, but it's just like that, and there's a certain look to, if you've ever had like a drama class or something, the pictures in that of a play are like usually a scene.

The people are in the scene, but like all playing out to the camera in this very awkward. I don't know how to describe it, but it's, you know what I'm talking about. If you know, you know. Also the look is similar to like,

lie in the witch and the wardrobe or like cheap kid stuff but like I think there's like a little milkiness to it but no no there's one of those for True West that is fantastic it's Gary Seneas and John Malcovich Oh yes yes yes yes fantastic This reminds me of

I never saw it but that HBO The Sunset Limited The Cormick McCarthy play it was Tommy Lee Jones who also directed in Sam Jackson Just like the two of them One guy saves it saves the other from suicide and they just sort of have like an intense philosophical debate. That's like the whole the whole play is that those two guys.

Yeah. Just like in like a dingy New York apartment. Yeah. But we need one with three guys. Not two guys. Yes. We need one with 12 angry men. We can play four men each.

Yeah. Not the four men. All right. What would you do for round two? I mean, I would like a, my, my thing is a floater. Like you float? Yeah, yeah. Right?

Oh, that's what I'm going to do. I want some, like, cherry juice or something. You know, grenadine is in a daisy sometimes. And if you made a tequila daisy, you can have grenadiney thing. Mm-hmm. I'll do it like that. I like that. I might make a normal margarita, aka triple sec,

but then I'm going to do my grand marion floater. On top. Top. As a bonus bonus bonus. Bonus, bonus. Bonus zonis. That sounds pretty good. Now, I don't have triple sec.

And maybe it'll look yellow and brown like the piss and shit. See, I'm going to do Marnier in, Marneux on. Oh, I see what you're saying, Jeff. Because I don't have triple sec. So it's going in and going on. Love it. Michael? What am I going to do?

I'm going to find something out there. I'm going to add something. Cherry juice. Can you believe this guy? Not the first time I've heard you say. like, I don't know, maybe like cherry juice. I didn't say that's not. Have I come back with a cherry juice?

No, not yet. That's just my first thought. His mind is the way the man approaches food. It's a whole different. It's from all. It's exciting. It's exciting to watch. I was talking to my sister about, we talked about this last week that Mike made a soup out of my sister's,

from my sister's cookbook. I made a soup out of his system. A bunch of I beat her up. An artichoke potato soup, but it was supposed to be blended, but you didn't blend it. And then you texted out the picture and we're like, that's so cool. And Lee was so excited that you made and everything. But I was talking to her later and she was like worried. She was like, he did.

I was worried because like if you don't blend it, he might be like hitting big like artichoke leaves. Oh. You might be cutting up your innards. He doesn't understand. He likes that type of stuff. Don't worry about him. That's his kick. He's doing all right.

Mike's like one of those old dinosaurs that eats rocks to help digest food. I think chickens do that currently. That's what the gizzard's all about. Hey, you're right. And a T-Rex evolved into the humble chicken. Chicken. I was at the store this weekend in the meat section, picking out some chicken of my own. And I saw, usually, usually we've joked.

about like the gizzards and hearts things. But this was a styrofoam. Probably, I think it was like a pound and a half of just chicken hearts. And it was like, oh, that's a lot. That's a lot. Who's buying that? What's that for? This is why there's usually mostly gizzards.

Because you look at it, it's also like, we, I'm talking about this with chicken wings. It's when you break down, you're like, man, a dozen wings. That's three chickens. But this is, however many hearts were in there were that many hearts of chickens. Pur. Jesus Christ, this fucking ghastly. It's rough. What do you use that for? Tim, you're the food guy.

I really don't know. I don't know what you would. I don't know what you would use hearts. I've gotten them before and just like cooked them with like with the gizzards and like eat them. Yeah. Or if you cook a whole chicken, when my mom would do that, she would like take the heart and gizzard out and I would eat that. Sometimes the heart and gizzard are like

would be rolled up in paper inside a whole chicken and you pull them out. But yeah. So what's jiblets? I don't know. Maybe those are groups together as jiblets. Jeff says it sometimes when he's talking about like things that hang off your elbow or something. No, no, no, no, no.

I do like your stabilizer muscles like in your lats. Like muscles that don't have a name. I'm like, yeah, it works your little jiblets. Either like inside your armpits or inside your legs. I'm like, yeah, it works the little jiblets. That's nasty. No. He eats hearts.

That's not nasty. Wait, what's a gizzard? Is a gizzard an organ that we have? No, no. I think that's just a chicken thing. They're like a bird thing. What about King Gizzard now? Oh, God.

Ah, the lizard wizard. I'll tell you what. I listen to a fucking Omnium Gathorum. Gatherum. Avenue, yeah. I listened to that again

on a run the other day. It's a fantastic. That first song, Drip, drip, on the tap. Oh, hell, yeah. Good stuff. Good stuff, Giz.

I want to see them this summer again. All right. Let's go make the second round. We'll come back, okay? Yeah, it's a good drink. Back with round two, Grand Margarita. I, as promised,

Marnier in, Marnier on. In and on. Let's see. Ooh, it's good, because that Marnier's got to be a treat. It's got to be special. Put it on top.

Did it stay up top or did it drop down to the bottom? Tough to tell, Tim. Because the Marnier in is getting all mixed up with the Marnier on. Yeah, I think you've probably got one swing before it all becomes a strong. No, it was pretty. There was a little brown film on top. It's gone now. It's in the glass.

Film. I forgot the fucking salt again. I've seen Jeff. You got salt on your room. I forgot the fucking salt. I'm kind of getting salt. salt it out, though, to be honest. I don't like salt. For a guy with the cocktail podcast, I have no good way of doing it.

I always feel clumsy. I always feel like I'm wasting salt. Yeah. I know. I should get one of those salt rim, like things that have at bars. Yeah. Yeah. It's like rock salt and then you put a little plastic lid on it when you're done. And those things are dense with salt. In order to get like a full rim, you really need to be plunging into a lot of salt. Because when you just lay a little salt on a plate and then lime the rim and dip it, you just kind of get that weird. clumps it looks like. And when it snows, you can ice your steps. Exactly.

I, uh, well, I did something wild and crazy here. I was so ashamed of my suggestion of doing cherries that I instead reached for. I made a regular grand margarita. Then add a little dash of fireball. Ah, wow. Okay. Cinnamon whiskey. I love when people bring up

fireball on stage during our shows. It's great. Our rock shows. Because we get to play the song. People give us the Hanford handshake too, the holiday handshake. Oh, man.

But being able to play the... That's great. This is fine. You barely... I didn't put enough in to actually make any difference. So I'm basically drinking a friend, Marigarita again. Adding cinnamon, though, that's peculiar.

Yeah, but I didn't put enough in to really, I can barely taste it. If I wanted to, I should have put more. I can barely taste it. Tim, how's that round two? I was going for, I pivoted. I said, I want to do an El Dorito 1984 style suburban Cadillac mark. So I had a bottle of margarita mix in my fridge. I made a margarita with that.

And then I tried to do a Grand Marquis flotter, but it fell down. to the bottom. This is delicious, but it's a little too sweet with the mix from my fridge. But divine. Oh, the other difference I did too in this one is I used, do you guys use real limes or lime like squeeze? Real. I use bottled, but good. Not from concentrate. Nice lime. I used real in the first one and bottled on this one. It's, yeah, the real is much better. You can really, you can taste it. You can taste it. I would say the first two years of the podcast, every piece of citrus, I was, you know, I was busing out that little squeezer. That's what I do.

Chopping it up. Yeah, you're supposed to. I got one of those because of you. You're not doing that anymore? I'm cutting corners. I'm telling you guys, I'm cutting corners. Are you buying roses or Santa Cruz? Santa Cruz.

The good stuff. Get the good stuff. I, but I do like the roses lime mix. That's a good. But it's, it's cheapy and fancy. but it's yeah it's like it's like you know and say McDonald's things like I know McDonald's you make a good gimlet out of it yeah you'd make a damn good gimlet I will sometimes if if roses is all I if I don't have enough limes squeezing even like one

lime wedge into the roses helps a lot like just to cloud it up a little um real quick you just one of you guys a while ago said I can barely hear you I think and then it just reminded me of a very funny Galvanagas. Galapagas bit, yeah, the guy who confuses. He does it on the new show. He does?

I saw the trailer, yeah. The gardening show trailer. Executive producer Dave Ferguson? Dave Ferguson is on? Yeah. Yeah, I forget what vegetable it is, but he's holding a vegetable to his face and there's like a kid nearby and he's like,

I can barely hear you. This is in your roof corn or something like the idea that maybe does work at all. But yeah, originally he did that joke where it was, it got the guy who confuses his altoids for his cell phone but it was in the flip phone days, so he would open, we saw him doing Largo,

he would open the Altoids case like it was a flip phone, the alttoids would fall everywhere. That was like the, one of the funniest thing, like being new to L.A. and see, going to Largo, which we had heard was like a big spot,

seeing Galifanakis, who was like, probably not even in the hangover yet. It was like, yeah. You kind of knew, if you were cool like us, you knew who he was.

No, people knew who he was. You knew him from the late world with Zach on VH1. Right, right, right. or purple onion or out cold and you're like okay this guy hopefully you know this guy's gonna popin he's so funny and to see him in that room and like that joke fucking is so funny and and to uh it was real eye opening for me and i think all of us but it was such a fucking cool like this is cool live stuff happening now yeah it was cool for young honey mm-hmm a young hen man uh uh

That's so funny also to think about him doing that joke for like 20 years. I know. Just like, it's just like a joke he does. And it's like, yeah, that's a funny joke to do. If you have a joke that you did at Largo and is still funny and you really only did the hangover movies and maybe two other movies, do it in your now Netflix special. I don't know. That stuff's all still good.

Yeah. Like he's not out there in the same way that a lot of people are who just like are burning off material all the time. Yeah. Yeah, he's he's cool. He's kind of selective and a little reclusive. I think it's funny though, you know, not even comedians, but just when like dads or whoever will have a joke, like, I do this joke or like, that's a joke I always say for a long time. Or I don't know, you, Mike, you, Mike and YouTube. Yeah, we all. What do you mean? I don't have to conjure an image of a weird dad. I, well, that's talking about. I mean, we have them. We do a lot a dime, but I never, I never, uh, preempt it by saying I have a, that is all joke I do.

Like, I feel like our dads would have said like, oh, whenever somebody says dollars and you say, I don't know, uh, 40 doll hairs or, uh, I have done that recently where I've like, oh, that's just a little thing I say. I'm like, oh my God. What I'm doing out here? I, I caught myself that. I felt that. I, I was talking to a guy who has kids and he asked me if I had kids and I was like, no, I don't have any kids, but I know I got a couple million sperm, so I know how you feel like talking about my sperm as kids. And then I was like, I felt the need, I've made that joke a thousand times, but he hasn't heard it. He hasn't heard it, but I,

my integrity made me admit to him that I've made the joke before for some reason. So I like, that's a joke. That's a joke. I just have said a lot actually. Okay. Weird. Okay. There's something about, I do this all the time. A lot of people do it. And I need one of our psychiatrists listeners to chime in. We, you know, when like you're telling a story and say Jeff and I were talking about something before and now I'm telling you, Tim, but Jeff's here. I go, oh, I was just telling Jeff about this. Yeah, you're like, I was telling Jeff. Yeah.

Why is that? Like, I'm afraid to. So that Jeff won't accuse you of, Jeff doesn't think you're reusing the material. You have to call it out just here. Like, I've already said this, Jeff. I know, I'm not, I know that you've heard it. Excuse the reason. You think Jeff,

you think Jeff's aiming to take me down and then he's slip up like that. I know here's. But it's also, it's also very useful, uh, because it's Mike queuing me that I am, I hereby adopt a new person into the conversation. And like,

and I might be looking to Jeff to like say what he said in our conversation as well. All right. There is, there is more to it than just feeling like being repetitive. I like you, Jeff. You're all right. You're all right with some of this psychiatry stuff. Well, with all that crap out of the way,

we sort of find ourselves at the end of the line. Yep, I get what you're saying, Jeff. I get exactly what you're getting into here. And it ain't easy. It ain't easy. It's hard at the end of the line to sort of look back and be like, what are the pros and cons of the drink? How does it stack up? You and I and your friend Tim, we've had all the drinks of the rainbow, basically. Have you just been talking

to me this whole time that I have to tell. Yeah, don't relay that to me. He can hear it all, I hope. But we are uniquely qualified to weigh in on any drink. We've had them all. We've had every drink. We've had Every drink. Yes. We've had more cocktails, more recipes than 98% of the population. So where does this land? No non-cocks-wee. No non-cox-wee.

That is funny that I think of us as like, like, hey, we're no authority because maybe we don't have the best pallets or we don't know too much, but it's like your sheer number of types of cocktails. Like, name a cocktail, we've had it. Name one, we've had it. Right. I've had 300 cocktails on that. the show, who in the world has had 300 different cocktails?

It's like, you guys better have some opinions on drinks at this point. I don't know that we've accrued much wisdom. I do love looking at a back bar and a bar and knowing all the bottles. That's something I feel. Honestly, when we went to Switzerland and I could look at the back bar and I was like, yep, yep, check, check. That was crazy. It's just like, oh, I feel like I've dominated the world.

I thought I was going to get a whole different bar and a whole, a whole, whole, whole new dimension. Yeah, yeah. But it's fun, though. Then Oppenzeller sticks out because you didn't know it. So you zeroed in. What's that? And then Tim, what did I do?

Took that one down too. A whole bottle. Now you're adopted into, I'm like the Borg. I just, I just absorb all of this info. Now there is nothing left. Truly nothing left out there. This for me is an order again. I like this a lot.

This is a fun little, this is definitely one where if I'm out, I'm like in a margarita mood, Which is happening more and more I've noticed. This is a nice like, hey, I'm going to do a treat myself. Something nice. Yep. And I'll say, sir or madam, no need for the fireball dash.

I'll skip the fireball dash on this one. I mean, also we'll skip the fireball dash. I say that with a lot of drinks I order these days. Hey, you know, I'll skip the fireball dash. On this Coors light, yeah. Tim, your thoughts, submit them. Delicious order again, love it. And yeah, I would order Cadillac Margs out at restaurants because also, even if they're not using this recipe, Cadillac also infers that they're going to be using the fancier tequila.

They're going to be squeezing lines. It's always the better, better mark. They're reaching past the Cuervo, past the Espelone, all the way up to the mid-shelf casamigos. They're only at mid-shelf. we still got ways to go. I never go top shelf anything, not even for the house. What's like the most, what's the nicest booze you keep around? Mike had some gray goose.

Shit, man. I legit keep around, probably, probably Frenet Bronca. Really? I guess like, Furnett is so. Yeah, I think I got, I got a great goose once to, like, to up my vodka game, like, knowing we were going to do that, yeah, yeah. But, like, I guess, like, Fernette, For me, like, Fernette's kind of the only game in town,

and there are like one or two other attempts at Fernette that are okay. But yeah, Fernette ain't cheap also. That's, you never find that on sale. You never find that at TJ Max. It's with the old polos. You're looking through like US Polo Association and Nautica Polos, and then you come across a bottle. What's this?

A cold bottle of Fremont. The label's got like a giant like a eagle on. You're like, well, I get it. But I don't want to wear it. Regular. The regular. The labels on backwards. Oh, that Empress gin.

Was that expensive or special? I really like that. We got that special for the Taylor Lavender Hays lemonade. Was that expensive? I don't remember if it was like a big deal. I think so, but we just never really go for like the super crazy boozes. I remember we talked a lot about the, um, Jose Cuervo family reserve or Reserva de Familia that we had on our taste test.

It's delicious. I mean, I think it's a cocktail thing. I think that I, even if I don't know everything about every whiskey or whatever, like I love top shelf shit, but I would drink it neat or on the rocks. Whereas, right, if you're mixing, if you're making a cocktail, going above middle shelf is a little weird. Yeah. And that was nice. That was confirmed when I went to top line.

wine and spirits up in Glendale. And you just go up, you tell them what you're looking for and what it's for. And I think that was like the first time where at a specialty store, the person was just like, what are you making? And they said, well, for mixing, you just want like Ford's gin. And I was like, I hadn't heard of forged gin or, you know, I was thinking it's got to be, you know, Hendricks or something like that. But for a lot of mixed drinks, you kind of do just want like a solid middle.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Something that's not going to like, like a bad vodka or a bad gin or a bad, whatever, bad, anything will just stick out and be bothersome. It'll ruin the party. And conversely, don't use Johnny Walker Blue on like an old fashioned or something.

If you're going to throw a bunch of sugar and bitters in something. It is fun too. If you have a fancy bottle of something you love that's like 80 bucks in your house, there is a fun thing about how. I used to get a Balvini Scotch at Trader Joe's. Back in our birthday boys days. Are you still on the Scotch train? at all? Not at all.

In fact, I had no business buying it back then, but I had birthday boys money. I do think weirdly, though, the fancy, it's, it's fun to have a bottle of something fancy that you love in your house, but then I also feel like it helps me drink less, because I'll just pour myself

like the neat pour and then be sipping and that's all I had the night as opposed to like if you have a big handle of vodka in your house, you're just going to make a bunch of dumb shit and get drunk. Dude. When I watch movies with Kelsey, we just drink like fucking four or five. Like delicious cocktails, but they're just so easy to drain. They're like, whoops.

We watch. Make it a Cadillac. Anyway, sorry. My final thoughts. It's an order again. Absolutely, of course. Make these all the time. How does Grand Marignet different from a Quantro?

Are they both 80 proof? Well, I know Quantrow has. Grand Marini, let's look it up because Grand Marini, let's look it up because Grand Marini, Marnier is an orange brandy. It's like orange liqueur and brandy blended, whereas Quantro is just a triple sec. Grand Marnier roof. The Grand Mariner. 80. 80. 80. You're mad. 80. No, that's good. I like it. Folks, this is a good drink, make it at home. Order again and again and again. Time.

It's even weirder than that. No! Here's a project that started as a movie. Disney Plus was trying to launch streaming service and said, hey, cool, turn it into a series and we're into it. This is like the connective tissue between the prequel trilogy and a new hope. So Ewan McGregor is back. Hayden Christensen is back.

We're examining the fall. of the prequel trilogy. But we are in the era of fan edits, are we not? We are. Tofer Grace edited the whole trilogy down to an 80-minute movie. But this isn't that. Red Foreman's son? Red Foreman's very own son.

There is a cut called the Patterson cut of Obi-Wan Kenobi that takes it back to its original intended tight, tight, tight feature length. We're watching Kenobi, the Patterson. and cut the beloved renowned cut down of the bloated series back down to its tight, tight, tight, best possible form. It's freely available

online in fucking 4K if you want it, and we're going to be watching it. That's the special fourth week. Wow. It's on YouTube? That's cool. It's not on YouTube, but you can download it from a website. Pirate Bay. Do I need a VPN?
