And Tim Calpacus.
What a he is up.
And we're your host of Sloppy Boys back in the high life again in this format adhering episode.
Yeah, that was wild last week.
Wild stuff.
Can you believe that?
I don't know how people got my phone number,
by being phone calls nonstop since that episode's come out.
Concerned about the format?
What the fuck are you doing?
What the fuck?
Put the format back together.
After we broke it, we have to reassemble it.
I structure my whole week about the around that format.
You fuck.
What the hey.
Well, I've been answering those calls and telling people,
it's worth it to create a viral hit sensation drink of the summer,
the piss and shit, sweeping the net.
You'll be thanking us when we're rich this summer.
I don't know if we made it so clear on that episode that,
episode that folks when you're out there we need audio of you ordering the piss and shit you need to
start telling people about it let's get this thing moving this is up to the three of us can't do it
on our own by going out oh can i have a piss and shit at up one bar a night no we need thousands
we need the tens of thousands of you out there we could do it that way we don't have time
i like if our approach of this drink is not just like it's good you guys should try it it's more
like uh like public television or something like you got to help us out because
we rely on you.
It's like the last episode's like,
hey, it's fun, we're ranking it, we're having fun.
Okay, guys.
Now it's the homework episode.
Balls in your court, guys.
Well, everyone,
I'll tell you what, I feel good.
My summer is shaping up really good,
and I feel like it's,
it's nice to have the drink of the summer
just squared away right off the bat.
We know what that is.
Oh, yeah.
Get it done.
I'll tell you another one.
I got a new show.
Widows Bay. You guys watching Widows Bay?
Oh, I have heard of Widows Bay. Tim. Hit him with it.
So fucking fun. Created by UCB's own Katie DiBold.
Yes. It's an Apple TV series. It's a horror comedy, hard genre to pull off. Very hard.
Very hard. Also, I would say, you know, lots of times you're like, is this a drama or a comedy?
And it's whether it's an hour or a half hour. This is when the episodes are like 38 minutes.
And I'm like, oh, that's perfect.
Right in the middle.
So, and it's on Apple, you said?
It's Apple.
It's a creepy.
It's got sort of, it's about an island in New England, like a misty, foggy island.
Which one?
Widows Bay.
Misty foggy.
Where creepy stuff happens.
And it's about the mayor trying to hold everything together.
So it's got Stephen King or Jaws type of vibes.
But then it's also a little faulty towers as the mayor's, like, there's funny.
townspeople. I'm laughing out loud.
It is like a, oh, good. It's like, is a comedy like a heart with hard jokes?
It's funny as fuck. And it's not, you know how comedies will sort of overplay, or just, I guess, every aspect of television writing, it has to be very surface. Like, some jokes are like kind of played pretty subtle and tossed off. They're not, it's not begging you to know it's a comedy, but if you have half a brain, you'll, you'll be laughing out loud.
You know what? I'm kind of, um, you guys are the sort of the Twin Peaks heads.
of the three of us.
Certainly.
That reminds me of Twin Peaks.
Because it's like, if it's funny and there's weird stuff going on, that's Twin Peaks.
Yeah. It's, yes.
And I would say it's a little more imagine if, well, no, yeah, it's a lot like Twin Peaks.
And there is more of a straight line like where it's not like the town is weird and the
genre of filmmaking is weird and the reality.
Like, it's more like it is rooted in sort of like a protagonist that's a real world guy.
I just love it.
I'm laughing my ass off.
I encourage all slop heads to get on board for Widows Bay Summer.
That's great.
I am hearing a lot of buzz about it.
Yeah, I just looked it up and I saw a bunch of just articles like,
I'm three episodes in and, you know, the best show that I'm only three episodes in,
and I'm already hooked.
I'm excited to watch.
And that's a tough, without spoil.
I'm just going to set this out there.
You don't have to answer it to him.
It's tough with like comedy horror stuff or comedy mystery because, like,
Like at some point it does have to kind of be scary or do the thing.
It has to solve the mystery.
So that's a tight, a tough tight.
We'll see how they do.
I'll be watching.
I think one thing they're doing well too is they're not overdoing it.
But slowly they're making me kind of care about people so that then like even if the,
the horror element isn't going to eventually scare the shit out of me,
I at least want people to
characters to not die
or characters to not let each other down, you know.
I have a feeling I'm going to put this show on
and like all the characters at one point or another
are wrapped up in a rug and taken out of a room.
Jacob Tremblay in Room.
Oh my God.
It can't just be that one thing.
It's so weird.
Folks, check out the movie Room.
It's the second time I ever emoted in a movie.
The other one was George Bailey
being called the richest man in town.
Well, now wait a bit.
You emoted happy emotions at Batman
McGins when you brought a sub sandwich.
That was the sub, Mike.
Very true.
Yeah, but that's still an emotion.
I think that's still an emotion.
And I will say, over on the blowout,
patreon.com slash the sloppy boys,
where we talk about like geek shit like X-Men movies
and Star Wars prequels,
almost all of those movies have been greatly elevated
by the snacks at Jeff's house.
You know, if I'm watching a shitty Star Wars prequel,
but I'm eating a gummy nerds cluster.
Yep, yep.
You know, I keep them common, dude.
Nerds gummy cluster.
Two flavors last night, rainbow and very berry.
I was alternating.
Oh, that's exciting.
I didn't even look at the screen.
I was just facing the bowls of candy.
I got myself a box of nerds just a regular box of nerds the other day.
Yeah.
It was great.
I put them in the fridge.
It got them cool.
It was really, it was fun.
Do you see my post the other day that nerds are Yoshis or Yoshis are nerds?
they're quite similar in design, don't you say?
Yes, I did see that.
You're just saying they look similar.
It's not like that there's a connection between Martin.
I'm just saying, no, there's not an actual thing.
But I'm not the first person I come up with it.
Because I would be, these days I would be convinced.
Gosh, gosh, I know.
Wonka and Nintendo collab.
But no, no, I'm not the first one to come up with this,
but I did come up with it on my own, if that makes sense.
I was like, damn, I always did think Yoshi look like a nerd
and a nerd look like a Yoshi, and I looked it up online, and I'm not the first one to think that.
There have been huge exposés.
I never had that opportunity, Jeff, because they're not around me long enough for me to even recognize what they could possibly be.
A lot of people going into a rabbit hole on like the new virus, the new crude ship virus. Not me.
Yoshi nerds is my rabbit hole. Once we get that figured out, Jeff, you could move on to the any type of virus pandemic.
One thing about Widows Bay, folks, if you don't know, Katie Dippold.
is the creator and subject of the one of the funniest tweets out there ever.
It was Halloween.
She went to more of an adult party.
And she dressed up as the Babaduke.
And the picture of her like sitting at a couch with other people.
And she's just there by herself dresses the Bobbuk and saying,
this was more of a wine party.
Classic meme.
I love hearing.
Like we have a lot of friends that have made big memes, me included.
But that one,
I've just heard that reference.
Like, I feel like on a show or movie recently, they're like, I love Halloween.
You know, there's Carvin Pumpkins.
There's that Babadook picture.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
In a lot of the reviews of Widows Bay, it's like Katie Dippold, writer of Ghostbusters and the Bobadook picture.
Oh, she wrote Ghostbusters too.
I forgot about that.
And she wrote for her parks and wreck and, and, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's a great writer.
It's great to see a show from like a new person, you know?
Yeah.
Like a new show from a new person that isn't just like, hey,
we got some of the old writers from that 70s show to come up with a cop thing for real and not that 70s show a 70s show from the 70s not the one you're thinking of not red foreman's playground if somebody cool from the cool comedy world does manage to create like create a show it tends to be like co-created and co-eped with a big old dinosaur that bogged it all the fuck down this is just like uh from creator katie dipper like it's all yeah i'm excited
to see. Katie would love it. We should have her on. Can we have her run? To defend herself,
yes. We should. Let's have run next week. We have, oh, I got another good summer thing for you.
I was on a jog today, right as, this is right as sun is starting his set. So it's a beautiful time.
I'm getting my nice miles and 3.2 miles, all told.
Very nice. I'm listening to, this is a good summer album. I implore you to listen. It's a good June
album. Maybe we're May, but into June. Father of the Bride by Vampire Weekend.
I mean, you know I'm on board.
You guys love that Vee Wee, not me, man.
You do not love Vee.
I love Vee.
If you're J.D, you don't like Vee Wee.
It ain't the place to be.
It ain't the place to be.
I love that album.
It's a really, but it's just as such a summary vibe to me person.
Maybe it's just what that's when I was listening to it.
Are you summary vibe, comma, Timmy?
Yeah, it's a summary vibe.
Timmy.
And you too, Jeff.
And to a lesser extent, Jeff.
F.
No, V-Wee, he.
Mike, I'll listen to that on my jog tomorrow.
Probably two miles, not 3.2.
But, hey, how about, speaking of having a summer thing,
like Widows Bay and Biss and shit,
I know it's not going to be the song of the summer.
It's a bit of a two-minute novelty,
but I love that new Charlie X song, rock music.
Come on.
Do you?
Oh, no.
I love it.
I haven't even heard it.
It's the,
it's been stuck in my head.
And then I know it sets up
itself very much up for that
TikTok trend, but I like
that. I think it's a good, as far as
like, if you're following brat,
no one wants you to just be like,
hey, I'm following brat. So like
she did the movie soundtrack that had
some cool music on it, but it counts as a different
category. Now she's just slipping
out an interesting kind of
Wait, what movie?
Wuthering Heights. Wuthering Heights.
She also did some tracks for Mother Mary.
She's kind of like done.
a big Hollywood pivot that I don't, I wish she was just doing more straight up comedy acting.
Like I thought her, I thought her S&L stuff was so good. And I was like, oh, great, she can act.
And now she's going to be an actor. And they were all so, like one movie is called The Moment.
It's like kind of a parody of the Brat thing. And she's playing herself. And she's got all these other things.
It's like a faux documentary. A faux documentary. And I wish you would know that. Yeah. That's cool. I, because I saw
a trailer for like half a trailer. I was like,
I don't want. I'd seen these types of movies.
That's fun if she's doing a character.
But I kind of feel like, I feel bad talking shit, but it was kind of a misfire her pivot
to Hollywood for me. So her being like, I got new music coming out. It's going to be rock
music. I thought, cool. That should be interesting. I get not wanting to follow up,
Brat. And for her to do like, oh, it's a take on rock music. I also get that.
Oh, wait. I missed the announcement. I didn't know anything before this song was like on my phone
and it was called rock music.
Had she said I'm coming out with a rock album?
She said the dance floor is dead, so we're making rock music,
which is also like the chorus of the song.
That's the chorus of the song.
So I wonder what that means.
Like, you know, everyone's expecting the part three of the Beyonce trilogy to be a rock album.
And as much as I like that one Jack White song on Lemonade,
I don't really think that a whole rock album for Beyonce is as fun as a dance album for Beyonce or whatever.
But from Charlie, like, her discography is so eclectic and so cool.
I would be open to it, but I took that song as just a fake out.
Because she's like making fun of the dance floor.
And but then she's also saying like she's banging her head and the nerve damage is real.
It's not even legit.
It's not even.
Yeah.
I think we're all being trolled.
It is.
Yeah.
I was going to say I haven't heard it yet.
But just seeing how the Brad album was like rolled out and it was like a big thing.
I would imagine this.
She is going to do stuff now like pretty planned out and pretty.
like like uh like i see what you're saying tim she's got a crown to defend you're saying she's not
going to wing it she ain't winging it it's pretty amazing that to think of bratt summer that like
it didn't i'm sure the people that were tapped in uh i mean i liked her previous couple albums but i
wasn't like a super fan so i wasn't watching but like all i don't remember any promo for it or
lead up to it but i just remember when the album cover was revealed that alone lowercase brad on a green
like a green square, that caused ripples.
Like, and even I looked at it and I was like, it stuck out to me.
Like I, in it, the visual was like bad in a good way.
And I was like, what is this?
And it was confident and trashy.
Yeah.
Do we still have our, uh, our Brett, uh, Sarbina shirts on?
Oh yeah.
That's a best seller, Mike.
Go, folks, go to the slobbyboys.com slash store.
We got some good Sarbina and Brat inspired merch.
I'm wearing this Sarbina one right now.
That's a good look with all the pictures over.
Yes.
online folks the sloppy boys.com.
I was going to say some good Charlie shit.
Charlie has, so I just don't like that song sonically.
Like they picked a weird thing to kind of go throughout it.
There's like a weird guitar-ish sound that just is sort of like picking and prodding
through the whole song.
You know what I'm talking about, Tim, right?
I got to listen to this.
I do know what you mean, but I like it.
But like I get, you know what would be a more your style, Jay?
And I get this is like Hollywood baby by.
100 gecks is like, ha ha, we're doing a like a pop punk song, but also, holy fuck, we're doing a good one, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But also, I think there are apologists online who were like, well, look, Charlie's always been
ahead of the curve.
It took a while for people to come around on Charlie.
And I'm like, not me, motherfucker.
I like dollar shit.
Yeah, me too.
I don't like this.
Go back.
I liked this one one second into it.
I like that chord progression on that guitar you don't like.
And then I like, I'm making rock.
Chewbacca's dipping in for the hook.
That's cool.
Well, hey, you got to agree to disagree here on the sloppy boys LLC with your car.
It's a forum for opinions here online.
I'm two seconds in on the music video.
She threw a TV out the window.
It looks like rock and roll music to me.
Rude.
Rude.
Well, do we get into some booze news?
Booz-bib-bib-bib-bib-bib-bib-bib-bib. Boos news hit it.
Let's take this party on the road.
on your tune for this little space evader
I'm gonna put a bullet up his
robot ass
every one of you, EWox is a
girlfriend half solo
what happens if I don't you
bastard? The boy you act
completely different than the character
with the very same name in the other movie
Yeah, yeah
News news
you sci-fi dudes
Wilhelm
Scream called it
A duel of the slops was sent to us by
King, Eric Kang the Kang himself
And if you got Booz News NewsDeme email it to the Sloppy Boys Podcast at gmail.com.
Very good. Very good. That was a good sketch.
Take that Rick Tapper. Daddy's home.
Damn, yeah, really. Daddy's Home, too.
I'm trying to create a generational rivalry among our Booz News creators.
They're all very talented. I love you guys.
They're all very talented, but we will crown a champion at the end of this podcast
at the end of its run.
on his final episode, to be determined.
That's what this was the whole time.
It was just a competition for the booze and things.
I like that that referenced a couple of things I care about.
It's prequel month over on the sloppy boys blowout.
We're watching Star Wars movies at the sloppy boys.
Patreon.com slash the sloppy boys.
Very interesting to revisit.
And then also it had clips from the birthday boys sketch.
Star Wars, our old sketch group.
We've been rolling out some classic clips newly verticalized.
How fucking funny is Tom Lennon in that sketch?
He's very good.
He dropped right the fuck in, huh?
He was great.
A little backstory on that he was shooting the pilot for the odd couple at the time.
Remember that show with Matthew Perry?
It had a season or two maybe.
But he was like, he was yelling.
He's like, I really want to do this guys.
Just so you know, I probably can only do a few takes of the yelling just because I don't want to blow up my voice for this.
pilot that I'm like, right. So he was like doing his favor by like jumping away from that
project. And he did like more takes than we even needed. He was so great. To anyone listening
who's ever worried about blowing out their voice, you're going to want to get an app called
Vocal Ease for You. The sloppy boys were turned on to it by Jeff Rosenstock and Chris Farron.
It's a vocal warm up app that makes you sore to greater heights. You never thought possible
and never lose your voice. To such great. You got me using it. I'm the drummer, man.
Yeah, you're doing warm-ups like,
okay, ready for some booze news?
Yes, please.
Okay, because I got some hot topics here.
A couple of new products I wanted to make you aware of that just came out on the market.
Rumpelmints cinnamon whiskey.
That's right.
Rumpelmints.
Whoa.
The 100-proof mint shot that goes with my invention in the Alpine crush.
of course.
Yes, yes.
That's also become
sort of a bartender
handshake type of a shot.
I've noticed that because...
The Upman Crush specifically?
Wild style?
I mean,
Yajai style, yes.
But Rumblemints is a little bit
of a winky,
funny...
It's like an oddity of the back bar
that bartenders do like to drink.
But so they're trying to get in the,
obviously in the fireball game.
But as we know,
fireball is like 66%
proof or something like that or even less when you get at a gas station.
Right.
This one is 100 proof, just like Rumblemints.
And I read some reviews.
They say it's a good shot.
It starts off cinnamon, then it ends mint.
It's not too sweet, but it is a little mouthwashy, so you've got to be on board for a mouthwashy finish.
That's when people bring us, bring shots up to the stage.
It's happened a few times where people have brought Rumbleman's shots up there.
It's kind of a, it's kind of that York Pevere and Petty, whoosh.
Yes, yes, yes.
I feel like I got snowflakes, like flying out of my nostril.
But it's also the fucking stickiest.
If you get any of it on your guitar, it's there for the whole night.
I spilled like a whole shot on my guitar once.
You'd think because it's 100 proof you could like clean your electronics with it and stuff.
But no, it's so sugary and sticky.
Yeah, you don't want this anywhere near your electronics.
It is weird, like on a tour when you start to realize like my guitar is so sticky
from the Coomers being brought to the stage.
Just like drinks and sweat and dirt.
The other one like that was in New England, they're fond of the Dr. McGillacuddy's menthol mint.
Yes.
But I like that one is shaking, you know, shaking on ice and then poured in their shotguns.
Chilled.
Chilled.
Shaking not stirred.
Okay, Mr. Ball.
You remind me of someone who's talking to James Bond.
Yes, maybe one of the villains of his movies.
Did James Bond direct all these movies?
We are colleagues of Goldfinger.
Yes.
Dr. No.
But perhaps odd job himself.
Yes, yes, yes.
We're friends with jaws indeed.
I'm just naming them off of the Nintendo 64 game.
I'm a bit of a Bond head, though.
I know some Bond guys.
Is Bond?
Did you ever read all the novels?
No.
I didn't read all the novels.
I made that.
I was like, I'm going to read.
I'm going to start the Bond books.
And I read like two of them.
I was like,
these are fine, but, you know, I just don't want to read more of these.
Too many of these.
One's enough.
One's enough.
And there's a lot of them out there.
Okay, next new product I want to tell you about,
Yeager Meister Orange.
That's right.
Jaeger Meister Orange.
Now, this one, I guess they've been testing it in Europe a couple years.
Then they first test marketed it in Wisconsin, and it did well.
it's everywhere.
This is your beloved Jaeger or your reviled Yeager.
You're a reviled Yeager, right, Jeff?
You're a reviler.
Nah, it's not my fave.
It's not my faith.
But you had like a, like I had an upchuck situation.
Yeah, or it's like it always has a little bit of like once,
if you're, if you've been drinking, which is when the Yeager comes out and you do a shot,
I did one with Carl Filer.
And I felt like it, I felt it bounce on the bottom of my stomach like a trampoline.
and try and come back up and I had to be like,
oh, no, no, no, no.
The stomach totally empty, just a hard floor to bounce out.
It's always a bit of a wretch risk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I do agree.
It has something to do with the time of night.
It's coming out.
But here I am.
Now I love, like, your fernets and all the stuff
that's sort of Yeager-adjacent.
So maybe I need to give it another sort of fair shake.
Yeah, I can't remember if I've done a Yeager.
I think I've done a Yeager shot before.
and it was fine, but I don't remember it being like something I loved.
I like it exclusively if it's from one of those upside-down shot machines where the two
upside-down bottles and it's super freezing cold.
That's really good.
Yeah, those are cool.
Reviews of this Yeager Meister Orange say that it's good.
It starts off with this orangy, Sicilian orange flavor.
And then it does on the back end.
It is classic Yeager taste.
So you're getting orange and black licorish.
And it's 66.
proof.
I know,
I know,
Yeager Meister isn't a chocolate taste,
but you know those like around Christmas time?
It's those little chocolate orange.
It's like a shape of an orange and they're chocolate,
but they also have like a hint of orange.
It's like wedges.
I don't care for those.
I'm just going to say,
I like them,
but I think I,
yeah,
I think it's you too.
Like people don't like,
it's a really like.
I don't need fruit and chocolate.
That's not a mixture I need.
Yeah,
I eat fruit on its own.
But I do like the presentation of that thing.
And then you kind of smack.
and it falls into segments.
It's pretty impressive.
It feels like an English toy or something.
Like you good on Christmas.
We've got something.
Maybe something like Harry Potter.
Like a kinder.
Kinder egg.
Yeah.
It's like in the lion,
the witch in the wardrobe when they're like,
Turkish delight.
Normal Yeager is 70 proof.
This is 66, the orange.
So nice subtle.
Sipper.
And next piece of booze is that,
a piece of business.
I had to get to. This is kind of annoying. You know how normally
we run ads on the show.
Acast makes us run
ads on the show. Usually we wait until
later and we do them all in the ad breaks.
But Acast said there's
we have to start running
commercials during booze news as well
which is kind of sucks. Anyway
that's crazy. We have to pay the bills.
So Jeff, they gave us
a commercial to play. Can you play that commercial?
Yeah.
Ah, this is Huey Lewis from Hugh and Lewis in the news.
You know there's a hot new drink
going around and everybody's loving it, so you've got to give it a try.
It's a party shot that was invented on a podcast and went absolutely viral.
You're probably wondering at this point, hey, Huey, what's this thing called?
It's pissing shit.
You got up the sour mixing dark brown rum.
It's pissing shit.
It's the drink of the summer.
Flush one down just like.
Hi, we're the news.
We want to tell you that the sloppy boys are going to be in Knoxville, Tennessee
tonight, May 22nd at Open Court, and Nashville tomorrow, May 23rd at Jortsfest at the Eastside Bowl.
Bye.
Whoa.
You don't often hear from the news.
Yeah.
And they wrap that song up real quick.
Yeah.
That's cool.
It's cool.
There's an advertisement for our drink.
I like that, but I think it's a little tacky.
I mean, this is it.
Hugh Lewis is a classic.
I think it's cool.
Yeah, also like commercials during boo's news,
it's like, and shitification has come to the post.
Yes, yes.
And I'm sure you're going to see or hear that song on our Instagram as well.
Yeah.
We're going to post it.
We've got to post that because that's part of the deal.
You've got to make these deals.
Well, is that it for Boo's News?
That's all for me.
Wrap it up.
And with that out of the way, we turn our attention.
attention of the drink of the day back on this format adhering episode.
Yeah, rigidly.
Rigidly.
Back in line for us.
I'm very excited.
This is a really cool drink to be doing.
The drink of the day is the Mexican firing squad, tequila, lime, grenadine bitters,
kind of a tequila jacquesquilla daisy here.
The Mexican firing squad you've had?
Never.
Never had.
Never heard.
Never heard.
Mike.
Me neither?
No, neither.
Let me ask you this.
When you hear, with the name, Mexican firing squad, what do you think?
What, any feelings?
I think, are we allowed to say that?
It was my first thought.
Exactly.
Me too.
Really?
Just because it's, yeah, it sounds like, is that, is this weird?
Yeah.
And that's why I like this drink.
I've had it before, but I've like shied away from bringing in until I looked at the history.
it sounds like it's like some 1980s dark ages like gimmicky thing that's like trying to be salacious sounding but this is actually a classic cocktail from Mexico City oh oh shit there we go so Jeff you can let your woke guard down I think Tim I feel like as though I've been cured of the woke mind virus it just happened right now you had it until this very moment look at his glow is coming back it's like a veil has been lifted
He's happy.
He starts like yelling slurs out the window at people.
Are you there, you?
Are you there, you?
What?
Okay, so this was invented at a swanky bar in Mexico City called La Cucaracha Club.
And it was in the 1930s.
And in the 30s, they had fairly recently just the less than two decades come out of the Mexican Revolution,
where firing squads were used for execution.
So there's graniteen in this drink.
I think it's referring to the blood or the fire of the guns.
The spilled blood.
Spilled blood, yeah.
So they were being a little edge lordy,
but at least they were doing it in the 1930s in the place where the thing happened.
Jacob Edjolorty?
Jeff, you got to.
Come on, that's pretty good.
You got to do something.
This is like maybe a whole animated series, I guess.
Maybe a way of it.
Yeah, we're going to cut this one short, folks.
We got to work on this Jacob Edgelory thing.
Everyone's, oh, like, yeah, no, that's fine.
No episodes for all these guys got work to do.
Another format breaker.
Sorry, folks.
You see in nine months, folks.
Yeah.
You got to go to the new season of Euphoria and clip some salacious stuff, he says, and say,
oh, great, Jacob Edge, Lordy is back.
Okay.
So, this is, uh, this.
This cocktail was being made at this fancy bar in the 30s in Mexico City.
And then a traveling bon vivant cocktail writer, an American guy named James H. Baker came to town.
He was touring Mexico and kind of writing about his travels in the culinary and cocktail world.
Bordane-esque, Mike. Bordane-esque.
Yes.
And it sounds like he was having a kind of a boring visit in Mexico.
and he felt like his guides were bringing him to stuff that they thought would impress him when it was boring.
So he split off from the group.
He went to this club La Cucaraja.
On the menu, there's a cockroach smoking a cigar.
But that's cool.
And he ordered these drinks.
He got tanked on him.
He loved him and he wrote about him in his cocktail book in 1939.
And then that blasted it out to the world.
This drink, now I had it.
You know, I've seen variations where, like, this is like a sour version, but I think the modern versions, lots of times will be a highball with some soda in there.
But I've also seen the liquor swapped out.
Like, Tiki Night at Mess Hall in Los Fel is they had a Nicaraguan firing squad where it was like rum instead of tequila.
They served as a highball.
It was very refreshing.
But what we're going to do here is the Mexican firing squad via liquor.com.
They have a nice straightforward recipe very close to the original, but they've sort of just.
just locked it in.
You guys ready for this?
Hit me.
Two ounces.
Blanco tequila.
I've heard people use repisado,
but tends to really be Blanco.
Blanca, I got myself some,
ooh, some cronitos.
Ooh, you got some patron.
I got one of those little patron guys.
Not a nip, but like the next size of it.
It's like a baseball.
Yeah.
Still keeps the cool shape of the bottle.
I like that.
Three quarter ounce lime juice.
Joastalim. Freshly squeezed, Jeff.
No.
I won't do it.
Three quarter ounce grenadine.
Now, look, in the 30s, they would have been using some fancy pomegranate granite greenadine they made.
Liquor.com and every blogger says try to use some fancy pomegranate grittanine.
But also on the sloppy boy show, we like roses greenidine.
We're not above that.
That's what I got.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think I have some fancy stuff for round one at least.
And now this is key, four dashes Angostura bitters.
So that last dash sounded too big.
The last one was shooting a rope.
Add all ingredients into a shaker with ice.
Shake until well-chilled strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice garnish with a lime wheel.
Rocks glass, fresh ice.
I love it.
This sounds great.
Tim, I got to say when I first heard Mexican firing squad, I was picturing like a Bandera shot.
like going down the line like a firing squad,
boom, boom, boom.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Almost like the five cups.
Almost like the five cups.
Unlike that.
People's doing the five cups.
We're not hearing much about the five cups anymore.
Wait, I wanted to release a five cups t-shirt,
you know, and it's kind of ominous and it's kind of got an illuminati look to it.
Oh, let's do that.
Let's do that.
We'll do that, folks, after the break.
We've got to work on Jacob Edge Lordy.
a lot to do here at the LLC.
Can I take us out on the break with some music?
I've been working on something. I want to show you guys.
I would love that, Mike. Mike, play us out. This is good.
Folks, we'll see you after this. This is good.
This is a cover.
This is good. He tells us this is good.
Alishi Keys.
Dr. Drake?
Yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
Guess who was.
back.
Oh, hell yeah.
We gotta play this live.
Wonderful, wonderful work.
Fantastic.
I thought to myself,
I should be able to figure out that song.
And I did.
And you did?
Folks, we'll be right back after these.

You get the tickets.
You come to the show.
You're going to have a hell of a time, baby.
Mexican firing squad.
Let's see him.
What a gorgeous.
Beautiful.
Bloody red drink, eh?
That's cool.
It looks like just like high sea.
Or not high sea.
Hawaiian Punch.
It looks like some high seat.
It looks like some high see.
Mm-hmm.
You guys got a better yield than me, as Jeff would say.
Hey, nice yield.
Shall we?
Yeah, I got my ice made clear in there.
You can't see.
Yeah, we love ice made clear.
I don't know if there's still our sponsors.
I love that ice made clear.
Damn.
Yeah, we also love Reverend guitars, baby.
If you've seen us play live recently, holy shit, we look and sound cool.
Ooh, we sound cool.
Oh, and don't forget, badger beves, reach for the badger.
Well, if you're reaching for the badger, you've reached for the bev.
Here we go.
It's so true.
Here we go.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Now, I did use fancy, old-timey pomegranate and greenity.
How are you guys over in Rose, Rosedown?
We are doing all right.
Over here.
This is a fun one.
It's funny because I've been throwing a little roses around in the test kitchen, or not test
kitchen.
If I'm making drinks, just like watching movies with Kelsey or something, I will be using tequila
and making sort of margaritas or something similar.
And I've been using roses, but I guess I wasn't getting the proportions right because
this feels like a locked in drink.
Well, you were using, they're sweetened, they're sweetened lime juice is an entirely different
product than their grenadine.
Right.
But I'm saying like I've been throwing grenadine in instead of like simple syrup into into tequila drinks.
Jeff, you've been making firing squads.
But this is better.
It was fantastic.
You didn't even know.
Here's what's exciting to me is very simple drink.
I also do love it as a high ball.
That's a good looking drink.
A good looking drink.
But think of how many times like the margarita is the most popular cocktail in the country.
It's delicious.
It's wonderful.
But I don't sometimes at home.
I don't make marks and I want to seem a little cooler, so I do palomas.
And Badger Bev's has a delicious sparkling grapefruit I use.
But I've been making so many fucking palomas that it can't,
I can't just be a guy who's just only drinking palomas.
This is the mental fucking palomas over here.
But I think with this drink we found, the third way.
Yes.
Yes.
This is good.
You know what I'm so happy about with this drink is I was,
not in a tequila mood.
And when we were going through the recipe and reminding me that we were doing
quakela, I was like, oh, man, I don't feel like tequila.
But this, you just don't really taste it at all.
It's a nice little, it's nice.
I taste it just a little bit at the end.
At the end, there's that, that no, nectary cacti flavor, and I like it.
Me too.
It's because it's not like, it's not harsh.
It's like, it's like just coming at the tail end of this nice,
Fruit punchy drink.
I really like the Angostura bitters in there.
And I wonder, you know, when we did the Jack Rose, we loved it.
But which is Apple, this, basically this with Apple Jack instead of tequila.
But if you want to put a dash or two of Angostura in that one, that would even make more sense over there, too.
Was Apple Jack the one?
Was Apple Jack the drink where it was a guy who said he fell into some rotten apples and it got in his mouth?
That was the Washington Apple shot.
Yeah, that's right.
He was, he fell into a pile of rotten apples.
Some got in his mouth and it gave him an idea.
It got in his mouth.
It's like the classic fake story.
Like he fell into a pile of apples and some got into his mouth.
A kid made it up.
Oh, it got in there and then he liked the taste of it.
That's like the.
the acid guy who thought he was
yeah, he had acid in his pocket and it rained
and he thought he was a thing of orange juice
he couldn't tip over. We had a guy like that in my town though
for real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it was from
your town. Yeah, yeah. And that his friend.
I had a friend in college who told me of a friend he had in high
school. And this is high school. The kid told him that
he told his friends he had a washing machine that would
like wash his clothes, dry his clothes,
fold it and bring it to his room.
He had the robot from the Jetsons?
Yeah, but like in high school,
like trying to get people to believe that.
It's just like, what are you?
No way.
No way.
Ah, the firing squad.
Good.
We need a story for our hit drink,
the drink of the summer,
piss and shit.
It's a shot that's pineapple and sour mix
topped with dark rum in a shot glass,
flush it down your throat.
But yeah, we heard this one.
Yeah.
We heard the Huey, well, the commercial.
The commercial, yeah.
Sucks.
It's not enough to just say, like, these guys worked really hard, and they have, they're
very smart, and they worked hard, and they created this drink.
We have to get some lore going that it was like, we were walking and we fell in a toilet.
And some got into our mouths?
No, we, some got into our eyeballs, and we saw an idea for the drink.
Oh, okay.
We saw them close to the alchemy.
We would never put real shit in our own mouths.
The honest story is that, yeah, it was that you, we were at Jeff Soutes making the amber moon, and it was yellow and brown, and we said, hey, piss and shit.
We'll come up with something better for that.
And folks, don't tell that story yet.
We don't have an official story.
We were walking in the sewer.
Right.
Yes.
Yeah, I like this.
Trying to find the Ninja Turtles.
Yes.
Talked about before.
Yes.
I like that.
Good.
Good.
Yeah.
This is good.
This is very good.
Slipped and fell on a turn.
Ouse.
Turning us into an injurels.
And then April O'Neill was like, hey, you three, come on over here, big boys.
Come on over here, big boys.
I got two twin sisters.
Look how yellow my jumpsuit is.
What?
I have two twin sisters, May and June.
Oh, God.
And look how brown one of their hair is.
It was a red hair, a blonde, brown hair.
That's what the, that came from.
This myth could use some work, but, you know.
It could, it could.
But we just need to be told by, like, a guy who's like, behind a curtain.
He's a beated curtain is there?
Oh, I like that.
I think I'd like that even more.
Speaking of, like, drinks we've invented, have you guys ever been out in the last year?
I can't think of any time I've been out at a bar and just seen people.
drinking the five cups.
That's a tough one to order.
You kind of have to, it's like you need,
first of all, you need five shots,
which is tough for a guy for a bartender.
And then also like you need the space,
table space and like,
because this is sort of a ceremony,
original,
yeah.
Right.
You have to have a red curtain,
then you have to have a beaded curtain.
Yeah,
yeah,
it's a lot.
It's kind of sad because it just lets you know
how many people are walking around
with all five regions of the tongue,
unstimulated.
I know.
It's fucking depressing.
Right.
So all has not become one.
The spectrum of tastes have not made the future of the past yet.
Exactly.
Exactly.
That sucks.
I'll look into,
I'll be walking around in New York and I'll pop my head to a bar and see no one doing
five,
doing the five cups.
And I'll be like,
all their drinks are in one cup.
It's crazy.
And I'm like,
you're all dead.
You don't even know it.
Jeff,
you and I were doing that somewhere.
We were,
it was on tour somewhere we were like
walking through something
to say joking about something. Is that from something?
Yeah, I feel like it's, I feel like it's
from a lot of things like soil and green
and shit. The way that you're yelling is very
poltergeist to me like the headstones.
Oh yes, that is. Yeah.
I'm thinking of yeah, that is, it does
sound like, I'm thinking of
like they live or something. In the movie network
when the guy yells on his window, he's like,
I can't take it anymore.
But it's not that. Mad as hell.
I'm retired from acting.
I'm merely an award-winning writer at this point.
But if I ever had to do, like, Tim, bring in a monologue for your audition,
I would do the poltergeist, the headstone breakdown.
You switch to headstones.
That would be so fun to just be in a casting office,
just yelling like that.
When I auditioned for Rachel Bloom's show, that.
Crazy ex-girlfriend?
Crazy ex-girlfriend, yeah.
And it was like, I'm not a theater, a musical theater person.
And they, right, it was like, it's like you have to prepare, you know, do the scene and then prepare a song and sing.
And I think I sang like, call me out or something.
That's so funny.
They're sniffing out the people who don't know like show tunes and stuff.
Like you're supposed to do like a Vita.
I know, but I think it was maybe Tim on your advice.
You were like, well, just, I mean, maybe just sing something you're good at or have fun with because you're not going to do like a show.
You don't know those songs.
Right.
And in auditions, it's like, if you're going to be bad, it's like, you may as well
be yourself and then be wrong for the role as opposed to like trying to become some
other thing and just making a fucking fool of yourself.
I feel like we didn't even get to the song or something.
Maybe we did it.
But it was just like the whole thing didn't really go so well.
Man, it's a pet peeve of mine.
This is my piss people off, but maybe not here in the sloppy boys.
When you go to karaoke night with a group of friends and you get.
people doing musicals, musicals stuff.
Yep, you don't like that.
That's like a dividing line for me where it's, you know, I always just thought it was pop
music.
And then you get some people who get up and do laymise or something like that.
I'm like, that's, I don't mind that.
You don't like when the two guys do Jean Valjean and Javert?
I don't like that.
See, Tim, the closest you can get is when Tim does like a Disney thing.
Yeah, and that's, and he's doing, he's being fun with it.
He's doing like a whole new world or something.
Jeff, I don't mind your thing.
people are like good or having fun with or if it's songs we know like if it's uh pulling deep cuts that's
deep cuts of any genre is no thanks and i have heard alan mccloud fucking crush uh don't cry for me
argentina and stuff like i think it's a case by case but but i do feel like i am a held hostage if
i'm like oh no it's one of those musical groups and that and they're all loving doing this going down
this vein i say get me out of here i'm going to go grab a fresh height let me know when my
When machine head is up.
It's a banger.
Yeah, I know it's a banger.
Remember when we were in Chicago,
Eric Rayhill told us to go to the California Clipper Club?
Yeah.
And we loved it.
And all of the singers there were fucking fantastic professional singers.
But it didn't have the vibe Jeff's talking about of like an insight.
We just like sat back and enjoyed the show.
It was amazing.
There's this place in the village.
I think it's called Marie's Crisis.
And you go in there.
It's like a cool little.
bar like low, you know, go down the steps, everything. And it's a bar where I was there on
Halloween a couple, four years ago. And people were, it was like packed. So maybe it's not like this
every night. But people were in costumes and singing along and stuff. And there's a guy at a piano
playing and people are singing like, I don't know if they were signing up or like one at a time
coming up and like belting out these Broadway tunes. And I was like, this is really cool. I hope I
know some. And I was like, did not know anything. They were all way deep concerts. And I'd like,
like I said, don't know too much.
But it was really fun to just be there.
It was fun to see people like really belting it out.
When you're like a piano person at one of those bars and it's like you got a routine
and you're also no 500 songs.
So when people come up and like you probably got regulars and you kind of know that they want
to do Kiss for Morose or whatever.
But I love the idea of like doing karaoke at a place where it's a live pianist.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it was cool.
It wasn't even karaoke.
it was people just knew the song.
I don't even think they were read them.
There were probably people who like audition for these plays and shit.
Off the dome.
Off the dome.
Off the costumed dome for some of us.
Well,
you guys still sipping your drinks?
Because I could vamp for a little bit if you want.
I finished mine.
I was going to tell you, I have a story.
I was going to save it for the next segment,
but I could tell it now.
Mike's still sipping.
I'm still sipping too.
Yeah, I'm still sipping.
Yeah, great.
You guys saw Michael.
we talked about it last week.
You know, folks, you can feel how you feel,
how you want to feel about it.
You know, this is a despicable, you know,
piece of propaganda.
But the Michael, the Michael biopic.
Speaking of, we got to go see despicable me this song.
It's not, not an excuse.
But just so, you know, we did go see it as,
ironically, as part of a birthday party
where someone wanted to ironically go to this dumb movie.
But we still gave her money to a bad cause.
Continue, Jack.
We still gave the Jackson family, you know,
1650 a pop or whatever the fuck.
it was. And I told you that when I went, I stayed to the very end and there was a post-credits
thing. I was just really happy to see. I was just really happy to see the sloppy boys mentioned.
Yeah. But someone didn't sit right with me. I was like, man, that was so weird. I got to go back.
I got to go back and see it. Whoa. Wait, do you want to talk about what happened last time?
So last time, at the end of the episode, it shows Michael in its modern day and he's listening to
a podcast. He's talking about his favorite part of the sloppy boys,
all, see. And it ends up being Meelan.
And he's, and modern day Michael,
alive and well sings about our very own
Meelan Patel. And we were shocked. Just to be
clear, this scene started with
a gray jerry curl, right?
Yeah, close on a gray jerry curl.
Close on that, close. And he's going,
he, he, he.
He was struggling.
That's his actual laugh, too.
You thought it was part of a singing, like a
scat thing? No, he was laughing.
He, he, he, he, he.
He, he, he.
He's laughing his ass off.
So here I am.
I'm back at the movie theater,
but here's what I did.
Remember how once upon a time
I was talking about,
talking about if I ever want to see a movie
and I don't want to contribute to it as a cause,
you go to the look cinemas in Glendale.
They don't really police the seats so much.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So I go back to the look and I'm like,
I just want to sort of catch the end
and I walk in.
They're sort of wrapping up the movie.
The credits are going.
Everybody's walking out.
I'm like, nobody wants to stay.
And they're like, nah, we don't know how we feel about him.
And then I don't know how we feel.
I stay to the end.
And once again, credits are over.
Nobody in the theater.
Just me.
Gray Jerry Curl.
What the fuck?
Wait a minute.
So I'm expecting you're to see the same scene as you saw last time.
It's a different...
Same movie.
That's what I thought.
What the fuck?
Camera's pulling out.
He's not listening to his iPhone.
He's watching TV.
It's like 1997.
It's not modern day.
It's 1997.
you.
But he still got the great Jerry curl.
He's laughing.
He's watching something on the TV.
You can't really see what it is, but it's animated, right?
And then he says, he's like, I'm going to sing about it.
I don't know.
He just says like, I'm going to sing.
He says that just to whoever.
He's going to sing about what he's watching.
I'm going to sing about it.
Sometimes I do that.
Seemingly to know one.
You sing about it.
I forgot to mention when I went.
I was watching Widows Bay this past week, and I did sing about it.
I'm watching the show.
Hey, I'm going to sing about it.
I do that all the time anyway.
Well, you must have known because I'm sitting there wondering, what's he watching?
What's so funny?
What's he watching?
What's he watching?
What's he watching?
And he, and, uh, I'm going to sing about it.
He, he, he, he.
And then this happened.
So I die from my phone, right?
This is what he says.
Just me.
It makes him so happy when he says fire, like, fire.
Yeah, yeah.
But he's a delight, too.
Yeah, well, he thinks.
That's what my MJ thinks, sure.
Wow.
And it must have been, they must have been, it must have been watching the feature do America
because he says, he says, he's got the X5 in his back pocket or something like that.
Yeah, I didn't, that's, that's the line that I was going to ask you about, just since you're so close to the material.
He's got the X5 in the back of his pants.
That was the chip from the, that was the McGuffin and Beavis and But I'd Do America.
That's right. That's right. That's right. That was great. That was exciting.
It's just such a weird choice from this movie, like to have these post-credit scenes that are so different than the rest of the time.
One's different screenings. Like that's the clue would do that. That's crazy.
Well, like I said, sinners did it and people loved it, Tim. So.
But that wasn't post-credits, I don't think.
Right.
Right. Yeah.
One of the many pre-credit scenes.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, so you get that.
You get that.
Well, hold on.
It was post the opening credits.
Aha.
Yeah, okay, yeah.
Okay.
I just think that since last week we're talking about this,
I learned that the movie Michael,
the reason it was so samey and it's just hammering the relationship between Michael and his dad so long.
It was like there was a lot of stuff cut out of their,
from the script that was
because the Jackson Estate was fighting over some of the stuff
I feel like there's so much character
in these post-credit scenes
that the main body of the film would have been
could have some nuance
and it also feels like they've taken
in the movie Michael they try to make
what the audience sort of knows about Michael Jackson
they try to get as like
realistic to the sort of expectation
as possible and then in these post
credit scenes.
Yeah.
It's like this is a side of MJ
no one has ever seen.
Right.
It's also kind of odd that like.
It's exciting.
That song, like that the
track musically,
it is used in the movie.
He gets bloods and crips together
and he sings about gang violence
and is a song called Beat It.
But now he covers that song, right?
Yeah.
He covers that well in the movie.
But but like there's a lot about
that Trump being written.
It's weird.
Then also he gets the idea
from a, to sing about
Mealyn from Arpad from the Sloppy Boys LLC or he gets the idea to sing about Beavis and Butthead
and then just sings to the same melody.
I wonder to him which is the hero one, you know, which is-
Maybe they're so familiar that he just thinks in these melodies.
Yeah.
Oh, that's true.
That's actually probably true.
What, what I'm sort of stepping back and thinking about like the, the filmmaking process,
the songwriting process, but the film, the fact that filmmakers did two versions, it's like,
right.
It's like they thought of two versions and, like, couldn't decide which one to do so they didn't both.
And they gave one to the look cinema and.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But they were like, we've got two really funny ideas.
We can't do both of the same theater.
I don't know if it's meant to be funny.
Mike, I think they're just.
Oh, I thought it is very funny.
I thought it very laughable.
I think it's a strange move for any creative individual to have two ideas for the same thing and then just do them both.
which you know folks we're talking about that over on the uh the patreon we're talking about
the prequels right all this month the star wars prequels and we're seeing how some of the movies
you'd see them in the theaters one way and different versions or have different things oh puppet
yoda versus uh cg yoda yeah yeah and it's like give me the real just give me the one
what's the one definitive do it good and do it once so that's why yeah this this uh post
credits michael thing is a fucking mess well i mean
I mean, I hope it's not still in theaters next week, and I have to hear another one of these fucking songs.
I hope so, too.
I hope you don't have to go there.
I hope your keys are in your, you need to get a carabiner.
For my keys.
Yeah.
Free keys.
Free keys, of course.
Damn.
Well, I'm finally done my Mexican firing squad, and I would love another.
Yeah, I'm going to do a do another.
You know what I'm going to do?
What are you going to change it up?
Well, I'm going to join you guys with the roses grenadine, but I'm also, I'm going to get a, I'm going to get myself a fucking high ball glass.
I'm had soda.
make a highball out of this fucker.
Ooh, a little fizzy would be nice.
Highball.
Fezzy wig.
Reminds me of the fall highball.
Now that's a good drink.
Yes, Tim's going to use a highball.
Highball.
I don't know how I'm going to switch it up.
I might not.
Ooh.
Oh, you know what I'm going to?
I'm going to switch it up by doing orange angostura, or orange bitters.
I think I like the sound of that.
That's good.
Yeah, we'll see.
All right, folks, we're going to make round tune when we come back,
final thoughts
Be there
F on the page
guys I have a major
admission to make
Oh oh
You know how on
IMDB there's IMDB
Goofs
Yeah
Yeah
What do we call the goofs
On the pod
Here at the sloppy boys
Zells LLC
Hmm
Um
dribbles maybe
Uh
Miss Sips
No no
That's good
You nailed on the first take
This is an official
Sloppy Boys dribble
Uh
I
I accidentally made my first round with twice the grenadine and twice the lime juice.
That's why, Tim, you said you got such a good yield.
I didn't do three quarter ounce of each.
I did an ounce and a half of each.
I loved it.
So I may,
I expect that this drink will be a little more balanced.
I won't like it as much.
You're not going to taste,
you're going to taste tequila this time.
Yeah.
So you didn't have any tequila taste.
No.
Yeah.
Well,
it was just like way more sweet and sour for like a little kid palate.
Yeah.
But at least the sweet and sour were in ratio with each other.
Yes.
but I will say that was good.
I did like that very much.
Look at this beautiful highball I made.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, look at the gradient.
Doesn't that look like a summer refresher?
Yeah, it does.
It kind of looks like a tequila sunrise.
I put the orange Angostore Bitters in here and they're good.
Oh, smart move.
I like that.
Ooh, smart.
Yeah, it's good.
Tays good.
Sips?
Wonderful is a highball, wonderful.
You put a little, what,
you put in for the Fizz?
Soda.
Just club soda.
But I'll tell you this, folks,
in the debate between the fancy
pomegranate of grenadine
or roses electric red grenadine,
I switched to roses this time
and you're adding four dashes of Angostura bitters,
which is kind of a lot.
It still tastes fairly fancy
even if you use roses.
So don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it.
This is a boy.
climb down off that ledge, folks.
I mean, this could be
a drink of a, maybe not this summer,
but a drink of the summer.
A drink of a summer.
Well, yeah, it's like a better,
it's better than the dirty Shirley
and the drink was one.
And it was one.
I think that the name is getting in the way.
I think that a lot of people
with Jeff's woke mind virus
are afraid to say it or people
who are afraid of violent things.
You know what?
Who I blame?
I blame the,
Irish car bomb, which we now just kind of call the Dennis bomb, because that is more insensitive
to have this, like, silly novelty drink based on like a very specific set of tragedies.
As opposed to this one, yeah, there were people, many, many people executed, and I'm sure
that was very, very, very sad.
But you're just kind of referring, it's not about any one, you know, it's not about any one group's
death.
It's the, it's like the practice of having a firing squad.
Right.
It's like calling it a gun, you know?
You wouldn't get sad if it was the American gun.
But if it was the pistol.
Like next week we're going to do Epstein Island Punch.
And we're going to hear so much shit about all that.
It's basically this, but bigger.
I don't even know what that joke means.
All right.
Your final thoughts.
Tim, take it away.
This is a banger.
I think for me, this is an order again.
I'm teetering on Stone Cold Classic because, folks, you know,
I've made so many margarias and Palomas.
that I'm ready to retire them and become,
hey, you want a firing squad?
You want a firing squad?
Yeah.
Yes, yes.
I told you that.
Yeah.
I texted you on the way over.
I've told you so many times.
You need.
Well, let's go through because I think we should rename it.
But by giving me your,
give us your thoughts.
Order again for me.
This is fun.
I had no idea.
This is what it was going to be like.
And I'm happy.
Yeah.
It's a banger.
Folks, make another one.
And don't be afraid double up the sweet
and double up the sour.
That's even.
better. It's better for
people with a less refined palate.
Better for all ages.
Better for those who don't want to taste the alcohol and get drunk
very quickly. Yeah.
Which we do not recommend.
So what do you call it if it's
well, not? I mean,
here's, the weird thing is
the margarita
evolved from the daisy.
And then the daisy basically as
it's, all of these are sours.
The sweet thing in the margarita is quantro, whereas the sweet thing in the daisy was grenadine,
but it was like brandy and then they switched to tequila.
So we are drinking a daisy, a tequila daisy.
Here's the issue.
Mike and I remember, this is just for the listeners.
Right, right.
Of course.
Here's my problem, though, Jeff.
If we change the name, we're softening the name, we're making it more palatable to the public.
But this drink, the Mexican firing squad, was invented.
At what cost.
Right.
It was invented in Mexico City at La Cucaracha by most likely.
a Mexican bartender or owner,
who are we to whitewash his drink?
You don't just want to make it more palatable for the snowflakes.
Exactly.
The same way that I don't want to take out swears out of the captions for birthday boy sketches.
But have you been doing it anyway?
Sometimes.
Have you been saying segs and corn and stuff like that?
No, I think that's whack.
What's corn porn porn?
Corn is porn.
But if it does hurt your reach and it did hurt the reach of the Mexican firing squad, I would say.
I mean, here we are getting to it on episode 290 something when this is like, so, I mean, what a simple, this was a no shop cocktail for me.
I had everything in my house.
Yeah.
I drank it.
I loved it.
And when I added soda, it's a summer porch pounder that I can't wait to share with my friends by the pool.
By the porch.
This is great.
Jeff, what are your thoughts?
Did you say it?
Oh, I don't know.
It's an order again.
I love it.
Order again and again even.
And it's so easy.
I've had a lot of people lately asking me,
like,
Jeff,
what's your favorite drink?
And I kind of hem and ha
because it's like,
it's like kind of asking like
what your favorite Beatles song is or something.
Love me do.
Yeah.
Alan Rigbee.
Opposite ends of the spectrum.
Octopus's Garden.
But,
like,
I probably,
my favorite drink is,
a Mai Tai, but I almost
never have a Mai Tai because they're a pain in the
ass to make. So I tell
people like, ah, margarita, because
I don't know, I don't know, you know,
what are we taking into account here? I think that's
a good favorite. I think that's cool. I think
that it's like you're sticking to your guns.
Like, it's, that's the classic
for a reason. Yeah, like around the house
I make the most old fashions
and margaritas or even just tequila
soda with a lot of lime. But
yeah, favorite pie in the sky?
I drink Mai Tai's every day if I could.
Yeah.
I'd bathe in them.
Why?
What were we talking about?
If you like, I order again, I think for you, yes.
Yes.
Yes, okay.
Which I think you already answered, but I was like,
Jeffrey, why do you tell your thoughts?
