I know what you're thinking. Hey, I'm going to sit at home all summer long and listen to a fucking podcast on my phone. Wrong.

You're going to see the sloppy boys party rock band play a loud rock and roll show in your town. Toronto, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago. That's right.

We're closing it out there at Improv Olympic I-O-Fest on July 23rd. Hey, folks, isn't it crazy what's going out in this town? Hey, I mean, you got me, Trump! Come on out and have some fun for once in your whole fucking life, okay, folks? Hey, folks, welcome to the sloppy boys where we take a deep dive to the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton along with Michael Hanford. Oohie. Tim Galpacus.

What is up? Oh, and we're your host this summer evening? Yeah, it's summertime, man. You're on pod. Yep. I'm in a good mood you could probably tell from that woo-wee. I just had a... The reason I wanted to push this pod recording about 10 minutes later,

I was wrapping up a final note session with the editor for the stand-up comedy special. Mike came from live in Toronto soon but folks that it's got to be sound mixed it's got to be over there with the color mixers now you say this was you were given the final note to the editor I've seen rough cut it's fantastic

everyone is going to love this thing but just question process wise was your final note to the editor it's a tear down flush it scrap it I was like my final note to you

is we need a new editor. I should have given that first. Oh, no, I'm kidding. He's going out now. He's recruiting. He's like interviewing people. Yeah, no, my boss gave me a note. So I'm just kind of thinking.

We finished it. We got a final product. He was happy with it. And then, well, he gave the last note first, the first note last. It happens all the time. Well, Mike, that's exciting. So you're out of post, essentially.

And you're in what we used to call post post post. We're in post post. We're in post post. and we are going to be in development hell. Soon up. Looking forward. Enjoy this purgatory you're in right now. It is funny, though, those last few steps,

it's like we've done this on like the birthday boys TV show or sloppy boys albums where it's like for some reason, there's times where you're in like blue sky pitching mode, you're being creative, anything could happen. There's huge changes happening. But there's something about those last minutes of like a sound mix and a color mix on a thing. For some reason, you fear,

it's just all scary. You're only, you're operating out of defensiveness that you think you might fuck everything up. And you would think it would be easy to get across the finish line, but like, for some reason, like, I remember with our old TV show,

like writing, shooting, all of this stuff. Like, but then it would be like in this, the colorizing or the sound mix that I'm like, oh no. Yeah. Well, and we would stay up until two because there's that fear of like, the door is closing.

This is going to be what it is forever. Yeah. It was also till two because it was seven people giving notes. Yes. And me being like, I want to see that take again. Again, I say. Let's go back to the raw. Now.

And us, our editors wanting to go home and us ordering being like, no, we're going to get ordered tomato pie at midnight. And we were happy. And they were like, we got a Syracuse pizza guys. Aren't you happy we're staying all night? We fucking hate you. Man, I just remember what Bob said. Like, this is more of an on-set thing, but it goes for posts as well. When Bob looked at the crew and was like, I know why I'm working this hard.

Why are you guys working this hard? It's like, it's my show. I know why I'm working this hard. Why are you guys working this hard? I mean, we did work that crew hard and possibly too hard because we were ignorant, but we were innocent. But I do think you do learn that people love working on stuff that's good and they do. like they do enjoy it. They want something good on the real.

They also like doing their job well. Yeah. And if you do like, even if you do like makeup for comedy, when it's a funny comedy, you're excited. I mean, I was going to say,

even just about the colorizing and the sound mix, that's about having done a good job up to that point is what applies to pressure because you're proud. Like if we had written shitty episodes and acted in shitty episodes, then you just be like, whatever color, who cares? But I do think, especially in season two of the birthday boys on IFC, we were like, we were handed in these episodes that we were extremely proud of.

And we felt like, well, we're just making exactly this thing we will make. So then you don't want to be like, well, I hope the colors aren't too warm. Yeah, I know. Well, it's also, that's a moment too when like sound starts getting, you know, professionalized, perfectionized. And the color, too, you start looking at cuts that you've seen a billion times. You're like, wait, did the timing change on this? It's like, no, but because the color looks. And I had to realize that with a lot of these, some of these moments.

I was like, oh, the energy dips here. I'm like, no, no, once the laugh is matched with the cut ahead of it, like the audio is low on one room because the cameras in the bed. You know, one of those things. It's like, it'll smooth out and be good, is. Right. It's also weird, like your idea of what is energy, that's an intangible thing. And it's not speed. It's not loudness.

You know, like it is weird. It's like there's a groove you're trying to hit, but you can't overdo it. Then it feels frantic and unconfident. So you're like, oh. You clock changes as like, wait, is that worse or just different? Like if something feels different, you're like, that feels different. And you're like, wait a minute, though. But is it worse or am I just clocking that it feels different?

It's just different. Okay. It's like frame by free. But I remember like color especially kind of loving that because you're kind of looking at like the murky gray green, uh, raw stuff. And you've come to accept it. And you come to accept it.

And then they throw it, they put it through color and now like, oh my God, it's all balanced out and rich looking. And it's like, yeah, it's like we like to be four and now this. And like it just feels like opening presents at Christmas

because like here we are toiling away in the minds for like months. And then it goes to color and seemingly in minutes, it looks professional and perfect. And you're like, well, why do we do this first? And then everything would, look great. We'd feel so much better about everything for the, for the difficult part. Why are the daily so washed out? Like, I'm a guy who doesn't know shit about shit, but even when I look at an

uncolorized piece of video, I'm like, the blacks are not black. Like the color tones, like there's so much gray in the mix and everything is milky and washed out. Tim, the second. Jeff knows the answer to this one. Go ahead, Jeff. Take it away. Something called like log. They shoot it in a log, they call it, where, um, I was shooting logs into a toilet. Yeah. This isn't like that. This is very different.

Okay. Something different. I'm shooting logs. So if you're shooting and you get absolute white and absolute black, that's just, you can't tweak that. You can't do anything with that. So you bring everything to the murky gray middle. That way you can turn up. You can make it perfect white or perfect black.

But if you shoot it perfect white or perfect black, you got nowhere to go, Tim. Sure, but Jeff, I'm so confident that on set, I want the perfect white there. Oh, you dial in the perfect white on set. Because he knows. And do you shoot black and white film still? What are you shooting on these days, Tim? A lot of the productions that I've worked on, people start referring to me as the perfect white. Okay.

While I am. I don't know what kind of films you're in. A birth of a nation. Do you know why it's called, like, change, you know, whatever, the color process is why it's called color timing. From the old film days. It's back from the film days. Because it's time to fix the color.

And structure, did you hear. Yeah, it's time to fix the color. It was directing time earlier. Now it's color. It's because it's the amount of time you keep the film, the negative film in the development fluid. Oh. So it's like if you want it, color timing refers if you want darker, it's there longer, that type of stuff.

How much you keep it in the chemicals? Ooh, the chem. Hey, speaking of, well, the moving image. I went to a movie recently and then the movie started and the lights didn't go down. Oh, that's weird. Really? Makes you miss the arc light, doesn't it? Yeah, fucking AMC Americana.

So I heard about the AMC. the arc light, that it still exists as a building. Folks, this is a big, probably the best theater I've ever been in, in L.A. That building is just empty. It's got these like huge,

beautiful theaters in it and nobody's using it. And what I'm told is that the dome also is just like, they're just waiting for that building to be like condemned and then they can build, you know, condos. That's awful. That's awful. What I'm told is more recently, I actually do think something is happening, though.

I feel like this could be a Google, but I'm not going to do. It has just been sitting there on Santa Monica, I mean, on Sunset Boulevard, but I could have sworn I recently heard there's some motion amongst the arc lane. Ooh, I like that. Well, look, we have, we have Tarantino's, Tarantino bailed out the Vista. Kristen Stewart bailed out the Highland Park Cinema. How come, like, you know, get Spielberger Lucas in there to save the arc light. I mean, I think the Cinerama Dome might be there to stay because I think it's considered a.

A historical landmark. But the arc light is just gorgeous, the best theater you could ever go to. Yeah. And it's sitting there in prime territory next to what used to be the beautiful amoeba music. And now that's some weird bullshit. That moved. Yeah, Amoeba move. But like that was a cool building.

It was Amoeba. Yeah, that was like an iconic cool place. You know what's with the thing that bums me out about this arc light thing is like the situation itself, but also like this practice of. let me just hold on to this land until it becomes, it's right in prime, like, Los Angeles area. And it's like, that could be an awesome thing happening, but a guy's just holding on to it until it, you know, is annoying enough that people can want to sell it or, yeah,

expire, whatever. I like that. I like that. I, I, I, not to be contrarian, but I like that. You like that shit. Tim's on the side of the developers. All right, all right. Maybe it's okay.

Let me look at a different angle. I'm thinking, I was like, hmm, some venture capitalists might actually make a lot of money on that when this building gets condemned. Like, oh, and not to mention his family. Oh, they'll have a wonderful Christmas. 19 dolls for the girls. Maybe he has a tiny Tim-esque son who's having a hard winter. There's nothing about, there's nothing tiny about this, Tim.

Here we go. Well, Amoeba, we were all sad when it closed down, but then it moved like a block away, so I don't even fucking understand that. And then I was lamenting that the beautiful Amoeba space was going to become like, luxury apartments or something, but they just announced that. It's kind of cool.

It's going to be like this fancy day spot with a bunch of different rooms and tubs and pools and shit. Rooms and tubes. Tubbs in rooms. You bring your old CDs and then you wash them in the tubs there. That was always great when they would take your CDs and be like, I'm actually getting money for this shit. Hell yeah. Yeah. Do you remember those like disc cleaners that they used to sell?

Yeah. And it would be like, it'd be like some like green and gray thing. it would have like a crank on it. Like you put your disc in it and you spray and you crank it and it would just ruin discs and we sold them at Suncoast and people would be like this ruined my discs. You should have used it, man. Yeah, no, you used it wrong? I don't know.

Did you consider using it right? Remember last week on the blowout, patreon.com slash the sloppy boys, the boat is a better show where we were talking about Rush and I was talking about how at my dad's Pizzeria. We used to play name that tune all summer long and keep score. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A fun gang. In that era, there was a lot of talk about music and the music we played in the restaurant was very important. And I remember in the front, we'd play like, uh, over the CD player for the dining we'd play like, hey, mumbo, Mamba Italiano, you know, like that type of stuff for the pizza place. And I remember my dad. But what are you playing in back, Tim? What are you

playing in a bag? In the bag, in the bag, but I think that, uh, begin the day. I remember my dad, we had this like little stack of CDs we always played. And my dad being like, CDs are terrible, like vinyl and even cassette tapes were better because CDs, they get, they get scratched so easily, easily and they're like skippy. And I remember being like, dad, I'll use one of these cleaners and I'll, don't worry. And I didn't even have to look, use the cleaner because I looked at his spindle of CDs and there was literally like flour and olive oil like on the CDs because a pizza man was reaching to put on Mambo Italiano and leaving a thumbprint on the bottom of the city and then complaining it's not as good as vinyl.

Oh, man. Your dad has had that, for the sloppy boys vinyl, given that great review, it's irresistible. Irresistible. The look of it. Irresistible. He's right. I'm with them. You do want to grab it and touch it and pay for it.

When we reissue those, we should add a quote, irresistible, David Kilpacis. Irresistible. We should have a summer sale on those soon because we got to move that product. Folks, jump on over to the sloppy. Boys.com. See what we got going on? We got it all going out over there. We got our fucking list of our tour dates. Oh, what we got going on is vinyl. We got vinyl. We got merch. We got tour dates. We got music videos.

Is this shit was sent to us by the great Zach Mack, aka the ghost of Craig T. Nelson. Hey. If you have a booze news team, email to the Sloppy Boys podcast at gmail.com. I feel like we haven't heard from a ghost from Craig T. in a while. Welcome back.

Zach, Matt. Like, the listeners have personal lives. You don't know what they're up to. I know. That's true. Or he was cooking up that for months and months. Well, he probably was working on for a long time because while he, in the meantime, while he was making that a couple weeks ago on the pod.

Remember the strokes re-released that song? That's what I was going to say. Yeah. It was like, wow. So yeah. Yeah. Well, great minds think alike. Do you think we could take, uh, you think Zach would let us take that and, uh, you know,

play it on our Instagram under a picture of the shit and piss? Might be good. Yes. I think you would. It might be good. In fact, uh, when you send in a song, folks, you sign over all rights to the sloppy boys LLC. We own it. But you just say that now.

Including the strokes. The strokes. have signed it over to through your parody. Five years worth of content, people send it. Sorry. Hey, we're coming up on the five year, guys. This is 296. We're coming up on 300 soon.

Episode 300. Yeah, not so much the five year. More than 300. More than 300. And this is episode four. What did you say 296? 296. What are we going to do for?

We got to think of that. For the blowout, I think we watched the movie 300. Oh, that's good. That's good. Let's do that. I never see it. Okay Dude, it's gonna make you want to start doing CrossFit

Oh yeah You know they airbrushed on the abs in that They that you know, sure they had real abs to work with But they accentuated him with a little Wait a bit Is that is that on set? Airbrushing airbrushing I know, but is that on set?

Come here, Gerard Butler Well, rub it in Gerard's time for your spray I've already had my spray. I've never seen that. Is that Zach Snyder? Was he easy, that one? It sure is.

The Snyder cut. All his movies are the Snyder cut. Well, that one, the Snyder cut was released. They've always seen it. They've always Snyder cuts up to Justice League. Okay, Booz news. Again, Summer is heating up. And as the editor-in-chief of Booz news,

I'm required to report you guys. on any drink that's getting any buzz as the drink of the summer. It's a big responsibility, Mike, Tim. Take it away. Heavy is the crown, which I wear. Oh. Okay, I've got a little roundup for you guys. And look, I think we always say these predictions,

they are sometimes complete misfires, sometimes based on some data, but we say they're not going to, it's not enough. But also disappointing when you hear some of the same names in the mix of Like a new one that has some logic behind it is exciting. But I'm going to tell you that the observer, a British news outlet, has made their prediction, Hugo Spritz.

Hugo Spritz. We've talked through this. We've talked through this. Oh, no, we talked through. Yeah, we talked about it. It's the elder flower St. Germain Spritz. Right. They're saying, they're acknowledging that it's been in the mix of the last few years,

but they're saying that with the ABV, low ABV being so important to drinkers that they think that it's finally reached public consciousness and it couldn't explode. I think the, I think it's true. We said last week, we're like, sure, spritzes are here to say many, many sprits. But I don't think America across the pond here, we're going to say, yes, Hugo. They don't want the sprits. America does not want the sprits. Hugo Sprits is not like that, you know, award contender who just never got it. Like, remember Scorsese for a long time?

No Oscar, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, has he still had no ask? No, what did he win for? No, he went for Deppadid. Depadded. But for a long time, it was... Or Departed won at least. He won director for Departed, yeah.

Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, then what about Flower Moon? Oh, yeah, what about Flower Moon? Only nombed. Ooh, couldn't win that one, eh, Marty? Wish you did. But my point is the Hugo Spritz is not Marty Scorsese,

sitting around waiting for it. it's turn. No. Yeah. And we don't care about, we have no allegiance to drinks. We just drink what we want. We drink what we want. Like how we eat what we like.

Applejacks. The sloppy boys. We drink what we want. Hey, you know what's interesting to me? So I saw the Mandalorian and Grogu movie. Love the Babu Frick friends. But what I didn't love about it was that, what we were just talking?

Wait, the fucking, God damn, what were we just talking about? fucking... The Oscars. Marty. Yes. The padded. Marty. Marty. You know how his whole thing was like, hey, I don't like these superhero movies. I don't want to be a part of this. They're not cinema. He's in the fucking Mandalorian movies. A voice of this little

ape guy type thing. That's fun and cool. I don't know about that one, Martin. It seems a little bit... Maybe it's an inside job. Like... It's a joke. Remember how Barack Hussein Obama became president of the United States because he was trying to bring down our union from the inside. Because he was an anti-colonialist. Jeez, Louise. Yeah, right, right.

And he took our guns. Any more than sued? Mm-hmm. That was awfully. Okay, next up. Speaking of Barry Obama, he and his liberal friends love Huffpo. Huffpo is saying, Tinto de Verano, which is red wine and it's a Spanish drink. Red wine and lemon lime soda.

Tito Dave. Navarro. Oh, so we've moved past, we've moved past the red wine and Coke and we're doing red wine and Sprite. Yeah, we did that on the pod. What was it called? Cali Mocho. Cali Mocho. And we liked it, but I guess this is another low ABV thing. This sounds nice, but it has also been floated around New York Times, like mentioned it a few years ago. It's been floating around the predictions. I don't see any reason why it would step up other than people who just want low ABV. It's funny. how apologetic is of alcohol, the industry overall that it's like,

we know what you guys want is the least amount of us. So that it's like the big hot shot drink of the summer is going to be the thing with the least booze in it. It'd be like if Levi was like, well, we know we'll just sell you shorts. We know you like our pants. Yeah, and we're back and we're here to stay.

I'm wearing my jorts from Jortfest. Oh, I still got a wash mine. They got pretty messy up on that stage, you know. Yeah. He messed the back of them. Nasty stuff, man. A radio station in Tucson says hard fresca is going to be the drink of the summer. Hard fresca.

No. No, no. Okay. And now Vine Pear, which is a publication I really trust. Yes. They're not being so foolish as to make one prediction, but they did a roundup. They talked to a bunch of respected bartenders. And they've come up with a list of drinks that are trending.

Okay. So we don't need to get mad. they're just offering trending drinks. They're just sharing the data. We're not shooting the messenger. And yeah. No need to get mad. Yes.

And there's like a dozen of these. So I'm going to rifle through. Let's see if anything strikes a chord with us. I'm going to be perfectly calm. I'm not going into this upset. Nope. Nope. Nope.

No, no, no. And these huge slop beds are going to be familiar with a lot of these. And it's going to be rewarding that you listen to this podcast. Here we go. Yes. The south side. Oh, what the fuck?

Oh, God. The gimlet. What? Vermuth and soda. Bullshit. What the fuck a. High balls in general. That's, that's a,

for a lot of a safe. No. What? Tiny tini's. Fuck you. Fuck you. Hugo Spritz. We already talked about that.

We don't want to want it. I'm warming up to the, I'm warming up to the Hugo Spritz. I like it. Yeah. Okay, so you just needed in a minute with it. He's here it a few more times.

Uh, spicy margarita. Ooh. Spritzes. wait like gerard butler's abs frozen drinks okay too broad but I mean obviously those are popular a liquidy drink with alcohol

and it might be those drink of those number uh mohitos oh I thought you were to say mutant mojitos oh Jeff was an old moh a mojillo mohitos cucumber cucumber gimlets if gimlet's not going to happen not gimmah and then finally tequila

highballs. Tequila highball. You have the full highball. We don't need a tequila. The fall highball. Tequila and the hot summer sun sometimes is not what I want. Tequila, sometimes can be take me a little.

But it's a margarita, not a summer drink is a paloma. What about a Mexican firing squad? It is. It is. I'm thinking of like when I really taste that tequila and sometimes I can drink it. But when it's just, you know,

when you're run down from that heat, Ooh, sometimes that. Hey, you're talking poloma. I was buying some tequila. And one of you just mentioned cucumber. Me. Tim, the cucumber gimme. Yes, it was the chairperson, the chief of chief of staff of booze news.

Tim mentions the cucumber. I went over to my liquor store to buy grapefruit soda for a poloma. And the guy at the counter was just like, you know what you got to use? And this isn't a paloma. cucumber lime gatorade. He mixes tequila with cucumber lime gatorade. Ooh, I've never heard that. And says that's the move.

He says that's the move. That sounds good. Cucumber lime. I didn't know the gatorade was making vegetable flavors. I know cucumbers technically a fruit. Cucumber lime, gatorade and tequila. Let's see if there's any. Is this just one weird guy or is there precedent for this?

Well, I do know that a friend of the pod, John Gable, He makes like a Gabrisorita or Gaborita Or Gator The Gator The Gator Gatorita. Gay burrito.

He puts tequila and He mixes tequila and Gatorade But I like this Cucumber specifically. But it's hydrating too, you know. You get those electrolytes? That's great. Yeah.

It's got to be no hangover. It replaces what you piss out. That's what they call a Todd Phillips nightmare. No hangover. A universe where he had never made that film. Like that Beatles movie where that one guy is the only guy who knows the Beatles songs. Yesterday.

Is Todd Phillips's accountant's worst nightmare? Okay. Is that it for booze news? Wrap it up. Wrap it up. Doc, none of us could remember anything from last night. remember. Good booze news today, Tim.

Thank you. And Mike and me too. Oh, thanks. Sure. But now we turn our attention to the main event, the drink of the day, the reason a lot of people tune in. The reason for the season. Yeah.

Sure. It's kind of a good one today, too. Now, Tim, you're wearing so over an appropriate shirt for the... It's very apropos. Jeff, are we allowed to talk shirts, or are you going to yell at, Mike? I'm going to yell at them, but go ahead. Well, Mike, you've already started, so may as well enjoy it. Well, if we're already talking shirts, here's one of my new negative tie-dye creations.

I like when you do this, Mike. The bleach spritz. Yeah. You tie it up. You do tie-dye and then you bleach spritz it. And this is a nice one because it was a shirt that already had like kind of a funky stain I couldn't get rid of. Nice. So now it's just tie-dye.

You got to lean into the stain, man. Wait, did that happen sort of recently? I feel like we were on tour and you got a stain and you said, oh, this is going to the tie-dye pile. Yes, I think that was this shirt. Oh, so you've been active in the tie-dye laboratories. It goes pretty quick, the process. Once you are sort of putting the crosshairs of what's going to be tied-eyed,

you are pretty quickly taken. And like, you're sort of a prominent tie-dye guy in Brooklyn, right? Like, it's a small scene, but he's working his way up, Tim. That's awesome. Yeah, in this apartment building, at least, I think. Pretty prominent in the building. I'm probably the only person who's tied-died more than 10 shirts this year. More than five, I should say.

But wait, we should talk about Tim's awesome shirt as well. Yes, yes. Well, mine is a vintage find, a grail item. Is that embroidered? It looks like it's even sweatery, kind of a sweater. Yeah, that does look embroidered. It's got some depth on it. It's a white polo shirt with a red collar, but then the logo is Bud King of Beers.

Not the frogs, though. Remember this brief? Yeah. It's like a kind of an iguana lizard guy. A chameleon maybe. Camelian? Yeah. What do he do?

What commercials were those? It was sort of an aesthetic. No, wait. Tim, is that also a frog on there, though? Next to the bee? It looks like there's a frog as well. Oh, yeah.

There's a frog over by the bee. How many other animals are on that crust that we gave? Oh, my God. There's a fucking giraffe in the background flipping the bird. Man, I went to Albertsons and they haven't inflatables for the sufferings for pool time fun and there's like a shark and a dolphin and all the stuff you'd expect to see and like minions and like yeah of course but then they had like a ride-on giraffe ride on that's okay no it's not yes everyone's favorite marine animal the giraffe

I'm going to ride on the pool giraffe it is an animal that if it was in the pool it could still breathe It's head would be out. At all. You're right. You're right. That doesn't make sense. You'd want a fish or a seal. A shark or at least a platypus.

Yeah, or a boat. I have a few good items of vintage merch of the brand of today's drink of the day. But you know what sucks? Well, we all have shirts. Remember we were going to see fish at Madison Square Garden. and we all wore the same shirt. How did we get that? Somebody gave us.

We went to a bar ahead of time and the beer, like the Budweiser beer, what do you call those people? The beer reps were there, yes. The reps, the reps. They were like handing out a few beers or coupons. Here's some shirts. And yeah, we all put them on and went to the show.

Well, I've got that shirt. And then I have some other cool merch, but what sucks is I have a very cool spuds McKenzie corduroy cap from the 80s, but it's red. and you can't, if you're, if you're me, the great white, as they call me, or the perfect white, if you're a white guy wearing a red hat in public, you're looking pretty MAGA these days. Yeah, that's tough.

I have a, I have a Montreal Canadiens hat I'll wear an idea. I think it's Montreal, Canada. It couldn't be further from MAGA, so I think I'm okay. It's a flatter dad cap, right? It's kind of like flopped down. Mine is like a tall, structured cap that looks very Donald J. Trump and D. Is the Canadians one like primary cherry red or is it more of a crimson, Mike? Or scarlet.

Crimson, I would think, is cherry, right? Yeah, I guess it's a little different. It's also a faded hand. Also, I'm not acting like a mega person, so no one's really worried about it. You're like, hey, man, could I have a handout? And they're like, get out of here, your hat's red. Can I have a hand out? Okay.

Now, but bring us to the drink of the day, there's a reason we're doing this, guys. It's not just a random. We still haven't said it. It's for 30 minutes. Yeah, because I'm building up the tension because guys, we're celebrating the fact that on the upcoming summer tour, everybody knows that in July, we're playing Toronto, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Chicago. But do they know that recently added to the list on July 21st, we're going to be playing at Blueberry Hill Duck Room at St. Louis, Missouri. Strike Home of the drink of the day

Budweiser beer you've had Woo! I've had and had. You know what I mean? I just had, as a matter of fact. I was a bar I just had. What your thoughts, feelings? What's your personal relationship with Bud and all of its many connotations? It's in the mix for you, Mike, right? But heavy, I feel like that's a thing you buy. Oh yeah. It's

like my favorite beer. This is like high life. But I think for me it's really just like the look of the Budweiser is so cool. I love that big complicated Budweiser thing with all the fucking text. It's like what? The word is strange. They have like a whole banner.

Like there's the logo and it's like a weird lopsided bow tie and then underneath a whole banner with like different script and different fonts. And probably a whole story if you take the time to. And it's like herein lies the choiciest hops and race. It's like looking at a dollar bill. This thing's,

got depth to it. It really does. And it spends. I like, I always liked how Bud, um, uh, the look I,

oh, I had those shorts that, uh, remember the in Rushmore. Yeah, you did the bathing suit. Yeah, those bathing suit.

Those are great. Those sucked because they didn't have fucking pockets. So I could never really wear them anywhere. Oh, you wanted to have your mobile on you, your wallet. Just relax and enjoy the pool. That's true.

What about you, Jeff? What are you, uh, how you remember in bud well it's the king of beer some say that's true and was it a beer that I reached for in college I don't think so I was probably going for even more cheapy weeps like the Milwaukee's best and the maybe not the natties but you know something where our keystones 30 stones remember those yeah boxes the big old boxes 30 stones but yeah I do think of it as sort

of like it's America's big old big big dumb beer it's everywhere it's good, it's consistent. There's something about the go-to, what's the word like the archetype being red. Like Coca-Cola. Co-Cola. Yeah, yeah. Santa Claus. Red with the old strong. It does sort of say alpha, which is probably

why the mega folks like that red hat some damn much. But the beta is like blue, Pepsi. Democrats. Bud Light. Bud Light. You know, it's funny. But light, it is, you know, it's part of Budweiser, but I never really think of it as bud wise right i think of bud light is just it's it's way more popular well

it's funny it's got its whole own thing going on it's way more popular but it just like doesn't come across my yeah now i haven't had a bud heavy in a second but i remember bud light it always strikes me that has like this is like little sugaryness to it that like it's it's really hard to tell the macro bruise apart but i do remember like when i when i sip bud light that i'm like is there like they hide a little bit of aspartane or something i remember doing it a taste test at the old Ferdone house. And I was able to tell the difference between Bud, Bud, Bud Light and Bud Select.

At the time, Bud Select was new. Really, we were just trying to see if, like, Select actually tasted it. Was that silver or in a black can? Silver can or a black? Black. Oh, no, this was maybe even Bud, Bud Platinum. Oh, remember, like, Kanye Runaway was plugging Bud Platinum in the Super Bowl commercials?

Yeah, yeah. Do you know what all of those were? That's like when, when Bud, when, when, when beer in the 2000s was losing pace to the micro brew trend of the breweries. They panicked. So then they're like, if we come out with Bud Select or Bud Platinum or Bud Prime or Bud Royal or whatever, that was a way to see if they could try to get the micro brew drinks back into Bud.

That's funny. Didn't work. Didn't work so well. Didn't need to. I think I crushed the most bud heavies in the bottle. When we were, the birthday boys were coming up at UCB next door at Birds, I'd always get a $3 Bud as my go-to-order. So much so, it's the only time ever

I was a regular enough at a bar to walk in and Brennan, the bartender would just crack one for me before I even ordered. I like that guy. He was the best. He and Bob were both really great bar-tenders. They were brothers? Brothers and arms.

Is that true? I don't know if they were brothers. But they were both silver foxes that dressed all in black. I thought they were right. I thought that was like the known thing. Maybe I was way off and just, I assumed everyone. Mike and I saw Brennan. at the hardware store one time. We were running errands buying probably prop materials for

birthday boys. And Brennan, who we didn't recognize out of, out of the, you know, you get somebody out of the context, you normally see him and it takes you a second. Yeah. Yeah. One guy was walking down the aisle. He points at us, he's like, hey, no, no beers for you guys. Or he said, no drinks for you guys. Ha. That's funny. We kind of did a double take and we're like, oh, yeah, hey. It's like seeing teacher out of school. But it was Brennan with it with this like, With his like silver sort of silver buzz cut. Yeah, yeah. He's not behind a bar wearing a black shirt and black jeans so you can't tell it's him.

But maybe that's maybe the first bartender that like, you know, knew our names or knew our faces. It felt like cheers. That was the best. I've only had that happen probably there. Do we have another place? I don't think so. I don't think I've ever been at the bar where someone's like, hey, buddy. Yeah, the one by me.

Which one? I don't want to say it. But there's the one down the street from me. I used to go to like all the time. they knew me by name and would pour me up. Hey, Jeff. Brennan, I had that great thing where I always got Bud and then one day I was like in a wild mood, I guess.

So I ordered a Corona. And then he was like, ooh, tip-dose out of the morning. And then I go about my night. And then like later that same night, Jessica went to buy us around and she went up to the bar. She always drank Stella in those days. And she's like, can I get a bottle of Stella and a bottle of Bud? and Brennan goes, is the bud for Tim? And she's like, yeah.

And he goes, he's going south of the border tonight. Like, don't you know? Haven't you around you? Are you the last one to find out? He's gone south of the border? And he's fucking loving it. Ooh, that's good. I'm ready to drink.

I want to tell you guys about, I want to tell you about Adolphus Bush and Ebbhardt Anizer, but I feel like I want to drink these drinks because we're keeping to the show. Yeah. It's a crack in them. We'll take a little break. And when we come back, we'll do first sips. We'll learn a little something.

Tim will go easy on us, folks. Don't worry if you're new to the show. Everybody's fleeing, running away. Oh, ratings are plummeting. He's going to be mean to them. Folks, we'll be back with more sloppy boys after this. F on the back. Bud Heavies in hand.

Let's see him. I want to see what vessel you guys chose. I specifically wanted to go for the bottle. Nice. We, we, we, all three different. Three different ones. That's great. I went can.

Mike, you went like, looks like you went draft, but where did you pour that? But I got a mug. He bought a cake. This is poured out of a, this is poured out of a, this is poured of a 22 ounce can. Okay. That wait, wait, guys, let's get a, let's get a screenshot of that. Jeff, can you snap that? Yeah.

Let me get this in focus. This was, this little mug was given to us by a guy in Philadelphia. I think his name was Dave. And Jeff, you look like you have maybe a throwback can. Oh, this, I'm sure, you know how Mountain Dew is doing American due right now for the 250th? This is, I mean, I was saying that the can looks old-timey like it's the fucking Bill of Rights, but even now particularly, they're kind of doing, it feels like Ben Franklin signed this can. Want to crack them? Crack them.

Yeah, this is a limited edition, America. in 1776. Wait, I kept saying 250. Yeah, 250, right? Yep. It says 150 on your thing there. The can't says 150, I think. Oh, maybe it's 150 years of bud.

That's probably, yeah. This smells so good. It's like a, says it's just that classic beer smell. It's like beer, man. This is the most beery beer. I mean, all of our receptacles are extremely appealing to me and does make me want to fucking chug.

Bottoms up. There we go. Yeah, it's funny. Yo, ho, yep, they go. I remember on the Bud Light box, it says superior drinkability, and I always thought that was funny. But yeah, I think those are made to be, like, chugged and not tasted quite so much. Like, this does have a little bit more of, like, a 70s uncle stank on it, just a hint more than your lights. Yeah, that's what I mean.

It's the uncle stank is very much, like, it's a smell that I think of as, like, you go into somebody's house and they've got like dark carpeting and dark like wood paneled walls. You're like, oh, these people drink Budweiser out here. Yeah. Smells like cigarettes, maybe. You know, like my parents don't smoke cigarettes inside. They don't smoke cigarettes at all. It makes them cough.

Do you guys remember how like drinking alcohol was thrilling before when you weren't of age and it was hard to come by? Like the best in the world, Tim. the most thrilling thing. Like the best day of my life was when I gave my friend Sean money to give to the tennis coach in high school. And the tennis coach bought me a bottle of Barton's vodka. And I remember standing in the boys locker room with the bottle of vodka. And I was like, I'm the coolest fucking guy in the world.

And everyone in the locker was like, Tim's got a bottle of vodka. He tips the coolest guy in the fucking world. He knows the tennis teacher. It does feel like having a brick of gold, like a Fort Knox. brick of gold because it's like money can't buy it. It's the right, right, right. You can only get it through like crafty illicit means. Yes.

And it's, it's nectar. It's worth more than money. It's somewhat priceless because you don't really have money. Yeah. Forbidden fruit. Anyway, it's like the price is just like what it's going to be. I have that with Bud because there was a time sophomore. Mike is already hiccum.

I already got the hiccups. Did you fall into that barrel of ale when you have to go? Like in Dumbo? Yeah. I fell in with this cup and I came out and had it in. I was like, oh, this will work. And then I fell into some apples. They got some got into my mouth.

And I was like, and got the idea for the Washington apple shot? Some rotten apples? Rotten apples. Yeah, this is, I should make a liquor out of those. Or a cocktail lady. Sophomore year in college when I would watch Sopranos on Sunday nights with my roommates and Joe said any gunplay. There was one week of that where everyone was busy for some reason. And so I'm just like sitting in the common room getting ready for the Sunday night HBO block by myself,

just like sitting in a lazy boy watching TV. And I was like, we didn't have any alcohol. And I wanted beer. And I didn't have like all the means of how I could get beer were not available to me. And I was like, wait a second. And you didn't have an icy chest of beers on hand, which is. I didn't have an icy chest. That would come two decades later at Kantiki.

I also don't think I had my my fake ID that said my name is Trevor Fawkes and I was 29 and no one ever questioned it which hurt my feelings. Oh yeah. I remember that day, yeah. No, remember Rogans the pizza place on Danby Road

right by? Yeah. Oh yeah. They deliver, right? It's a pizza place and a pizza boy delivers and usually places would card you if you, but I just I called and I was like, oh yeah, can I get a 12 pack of bud bottle?

And they're like, Trevor. They're like, Mr. Fawkes, yes, we'll be right. Those damn babies and butt head. They got pizza bite. Boy,

comes up to the door. I remember answering the door and be like, yep, yep, thanks. Okay, thanks. And then he didn't card me. And then I was just like, fuck,

yes. Was he much older than you? Or could you tell, like, were you the same age? He was probably like 25 and he knew it was up and he just wanted to make his tip. Yeah.

So I probably tipped him well. But I just sat in the chair and I fucking drank 12 bottles of Budweiser by myself. It was the best night of my life. Oh, man. That's awesome. If you're that delivery, dude, yeah, that's such a great move. Oh, my God. I'm surprised more people didn't try that.

It seems like, Tim, you had the confidence to try and you were rewarded. I had swag as I came to that door. What's up, my brother? You know, fortune favoring the bold and such. Mm-hmm. That, well, you're talking about Rogans and getting like, late night food in college reminds me of those wings over Ithaca where you could get like they would name the different sizes of amounts of wings like the aircraft carrier was the most like the destroyer or wait not the aircraft carrier the B-52 or something like that because it was flight flight easy did Rogans do Calzones um or was that D-Pido oh deep D-Do was the go-to then there was Italian carryout and there was big owls no honestly Rogans was Italian carry-out was Italian carry-out was Italian carry-out. Yeah, it was awesome.

I would get the fucking, ooh, that was really good. I see a carryout. The thing with Rogans, it was like almost on campus. So they did well just because they're proximity. Yes. And they had like a convenience store there as well, right? It was like, okay, that's where I got my sparks. You remember sparks?

Yeah, sparks that had to be discontinued because they were marketing it to teenage girls. That's where Jeff would get it and slide it right in his purse. Not just girls. Not just girls. Some of the most alpha men you guys. could have a man. Well, it tasted like sweet tarts, and it was a stimulant as well as, it's funny because it was kind of pre-red Bull, wouldn't you say?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Wait, what was the spark? What was the one drink that went out of, uh, it was like a legal for a loco. For a loco. It was, it was proto for a loco. Yeah, yeah. Um, much like Spuds McKenzie, Sparks had to be discontinued because the government was like

you're marketing to kids. You have to stop. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Those look, those really looks like battery. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Like they had like a copper top. They almost had like the plus and minus on the side of it. But I did come across Sparks somewhere out here. I don't even think it was an old can, but at cap and cork. And I took pictures of it and I sent it to the college chain, the group chat. And I said, hello, old friend. And nobody knew they still made that shit.

Was it a dusty old one that had been there the whole time? Ooh, a duster. That reminds me the time we went to Circus Liquor. up in the valley and you found well because most of people just go there to get kegs and only kegs.

But then they did have some convenience store type stuff and then like weirdly aisles of like food. You could get like chili or like tuna fish and somebody saw ice cream cones from like 15 years ago

covered in dust. It was there from 92. Yep. It was it was those wafer cones like 292. ice cream cones. It's funny, you don't even have to say

like what year it was that we were in just saying 19992 is like, there's no way when these guys were an age where they should be shopping and it was 90, even it was 94,

that's too far back. Yeah, 93. If, you're like, well, what month? Isn't that a tell

that it's like a laundering thing? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I know. It's like nobody's ever, but it felt like the farther you got away from the register,

like the dust would go get thicker as you went back into the store. Like it's nobody's going back that far. Like you're walking uphill because there's like a shelf of dust. Shelf dust. Well, I don't have to, I'm not going to blab away a full history of this drink, but just a nutshell.

I think if anyone's interested, there's a really great book called Bitter Brew that's like about the history of Budweiser. And when I was reading, I was telling you guys all about it because it's a company that started the 1800. but then as you can it's so cool to go from like old-timey gilded age type rich guys running the company to then like you slowly catch up to your lifetime and then they start to introduce commercials you know and you're like whoa like time connects that was when I did uh I think I introduced the Coors Light when we were in the Silver Bullet when we did live Denver show and I remember looking through that history and being like this is really cool and then I looked into the company that made

the mason jars. It was like ball mason jars. And I just looked at that Wikipedia. It's like, wow, every business, like long-term business is like, wow, this has been changing hands and it's called something else. It's so it's interesting only in that like thinking about this giant brand that's been in your life like every single day or seeing like the McDonald's logo and you're like, oh, that started by a guy named right crock out of and he stole it from some other guys

or however they did it. Yeah, but like especially like ball or something. Those are brands that you kind of interact with. like we all know oh there's like Rockefellers and Bilderbergs and like yeah those are those are the old money sort of tycoons but like I just learned

that Brian Singer of the X-Men movies the director is from like the sewing machine singer fortune yes that's like pre-war money that's like one of the wow

manufacturer right right because that's like at a time when it was like it was like everyone yeah wow oh that's so funny to be like I'm a singer yes that singer that's fucking wild but like ball jar same deal it's like that's the only name I know in jars and they they seem like the OGs that have been doing it for hundreds of years you know my balls um they are the origin of the ball family yeah wow you know my balls they were married in by the nuts the new my balls were married

okay that doesn't make any sense and it's ridiculous it's all a subsidiary of pub a pub company a crotch company you you Tim I think maybe talked about these guys when we did

some Budweiser type I remember you talking about the Bud Light Seltzer out of office pack yeah one of those like oh yeah one of those guys I think it may have been one of the Christmas ones actually. First year of this pod, we would cover all of the new

shelters that came out and they were some silly ones and it was fun. And they were coming out like fast and furious. It was sort of the seltzer boom. That was, yeah, that was the tail end of it. So it's people trying to like get your last licks in with your weird little bullshit. It's funny that it's gone. You know, like you can still get shelters and like White Claws

still there. But it used to be like there would be like they vacated beer racks to make room for all the different wannabe shelters. What was the one that I liked? like after White Claw, but before truly or before Topo Chico is probably the one that I liked.

High noon. High noon or Bon and Viv. Bonn Viv. Yes, yes, Bon Viv. Bonn Viv. It was like,

it was a mermaid can, and I really loved those. And they're from Long Island. The, the, the, the, um,

the Seltzer craze really sits in my mind with the, uh, the pandemic because it was happening a little before that, but that's when like, they got to me. Yeah, and I would do Zoom rooms. Oh, God. I probably did this on the pod, too, in the early years.

I'd get a seltzer and a LaCroix and put them in one thing. So I'd have just like one giant bubbly thing as a big slow sipper. That's a big bubbly. That's a big bubbly. You're a bit of a wild man. Well, it's sort of less wild to add LaCroix to a salter. Wild to sense it's a big drink. Jeff, you were ahead of the low ABV craze.

Hey, I'll tell you what I did today. And actually, it's creeping up on me. I'm going to have to go to the bathroom soon. I've been drinking. I'm not done yet, but I'm drinking a full gallon of water. I'm going to try to do that every day. Wow. Out of a gallon jug?

Yeah, I got the gallon jug. And then I'm just going to reuse it because it's like I can see it going down for the day. Now, are you, is it, what is it, why you drinking that much water? Well, I saw, I was just on. our podcast tour, music tour, and then I won the Do Boys podcast tour. And I said, you know what, Mike? You've been drinking a lot. I eat a lot of

salty foods and you've been not sleeping in the best. And you're in a salty mood. I'm a salty dog. And I think I saw a TikTok, a random TikTok. It was just like, here's what happens to your body if you drink a gallon of water. I was like, oh, that seems good. It's funny because we've been in the hydration era long enough that I've been seeing articles lately that's like,

you know, when you drink a gallon of water day, what does that mean? All it does is means you piss more. There's no point, folks. You don't know. I don't believe that. Well, that's the other thing, too. I'm like, I think I drink enough water. And then I'd like, don't. So this is at least I can see what it's like to drink a gallon of day. Um, I think drinking water is healthy. But it is kind of funny to know those people that just like, you know, like when we were kids, we didn't drink water. And there's a lot of people. I think is it Amy Polar or someone who's like, ew, no way. I would never have a glass of water. She'd probably have some polo. No one dies. You know, no one dies of

not having a glass of water. You get water from around. You eat a piece of chicken. There's water in there. It shows up. It happens somehow. You know, you have a gusher and inside water. Goosh.

Oh, wait, but Tim, were you going to talk about like a, did you do your history? Well, yes. The nutshelly type of thing was just that, you know, we talked on the pod recently. If you, if you're Basque and you're moving to America, you end up in Boise, Idaho. You're Armenian. You end up in Glendale, California. In the 1800s, if you were a German immigrant coming to the new world, you went down and you came up through New Orleans, up the Mississippi River, and the big enclave was St. Louis. So in the 1850s, a teenager, Adolphus Bush, comes to America, and he starts living in Bush as in B-U-S-C-H as in Bush.

you know, not the Pube area, but the beer guy. What about the gardens? Bush Gardens. Yes, it is that. Same people, in fact. But so he starts being a businessman and he's like a shipping guy, importer, exporter, but then he marries a lady named Lily Eberhard Anheiser and her dad is Eberhard Anheiser.

So he, he marries. I'm sort of seeing where they're. The names are coming, bro. So she's Nepo, man. So then in the 1870s, once he's married in, it's like, all can I be your business partner? And he's like, yeah. And then Anheuser had been making like shitty beer, like the Bavarian beer company or

something like that, but it wasn't popular. So young Adolphus Bush, he was like, hey, I know this good beer. Like in Germany, there's this town called Budweiss and they make this like light crushable Pilsner. So what if like let's let's get that recipe and let's say like that too. He's like, it's crushable dude. If you're out with your homies, it's like, he's like, it's a major porch pounder, my man. Shicks is a porch pounder, but don't get mugged. But I do think that that was the problem with beer was that in St. Louis, like the German people

will drink stanky German beers, but I don't think any of them were catching on in America. So they were like, for business reasons, they're like, let's get this crushable boot vice. And then they called it Budweiser and they pasteurized it. I don't actually understand the process. Like milk? Like milk, turning raw milk into normal milk, like the raw milk kit on Instagram. We have Louis Pasteur to thank for pasteurization. Wait, is that for real?

I thought pasturation was like they go on in the pastures. I thought it was like a pasture, like a pasture of hot. I've only heard it with milk and I thought it's like that's where the cows eat from the pasture. I mean, it would make, it would make sense because he was like, is he the antibiotic guy? Let me look that up before we get too deep into this. Before we get too deep and I'm not, don't know what I'm talking about. I think that other than just being crushable and light on the taste, I think pasteurization made them be able to like ship it around. So it like catches on and it becomes a big beer.

And then I'm going to guess that that means heating and cooling. I think pasteurizing is you, you bring. Right. Like putting it, putting it in the bottle, boiling it. Maybe. You like boil it, cool it, put it in a bottle. That sounds right. That's got to be that.

It sort of standardizes it. Nope. I'm thinking of homogenization. I don't know. Oh, no. Okay. So Louis Pasteur, French, born December, 1822, died 1895. It was a French chemist, pharmacist, microbiologist, and renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation and pestization.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this guy knew stuff. He's to blame for all of this. Did he cure polio with his vaccine? Maybe. Let me see. He's got a long list of things he's known for. You're looking at his IMDB?

Anthrax vaccine. Cholara rabies vaccine. Pasteurization. Pasture Pipat. He's known for the pasture pipe. I don't see that. Bothera vaccine. So creator of autism.

Proud creator of autism. Well, so then. All of the Bush, from that point forward, basically of what the next 100 years is, is like Adolphus Bush and his wife, Lily Anheiser, they have a kid and they name him August Anheiser Bush. So then through the whole 1900s, we have August 1, August 2, August 3, August 4. And that's what was funny, fun about reading that book was like, it's like August 2, Gussie. It's very like succession because he was like in like the 1940. He's a guy that was really charismatic in St. Louis. He, like, wore a cowboy hat and went to Cardinals games and everybody loved him.

And they're like, this guy fucking rocks, man. Gus, too. All right. Gus too. Is that all it takes? We could go down to St. Louis and do that. Well, we should go to the Budweiser factory when we're down if we have a day off. We should.

I think there's a whole, like, brick, like, complex around where the Cardinals play that's all still very Budweiser-esque. That's our last day of that tour, right? No, it's toward the end. No, we end in Chicago. That's right. We end on the 23rd at I-O-Fest. I was going to say, we can add an extra day

and do a little day of Budweiser. Go ahead, go ahead. Day. Well, no, just one very successiony thing was Gus II, the charismatic guy, everybody loved him, but then he held on too long. So, like, he's an old guy in the 70s, and Gus 3 had to do a succession thing

where, like, the shareholders had to vote out the old guy and the son had to like confront him like surprise him in the boardroom and vote against him. And we're taking the hat. But I'm bold up top. Isn't it funny when you think of the successionness of stuff? It's like, yeah, they make beer, but it's like making beer is like not anything these guys are even thinking about.

You know, when you get that high up, it's like they don't have a passion for beer. My job is money and being rich and entertaining people and tucking. It is funny though. These billionaire guys that only just like eat caviar and drink champagne when they're giving speeches or appearing at conferences, they're like wearing cowboy boots and holding up a bud.

It's like these days like the David Zaslavs and stuff like that who are like, yeah, I'm the CEO of a movie company now. I might as well be Colgate or Palm Olive, who gives a fuck. My job is to make $10 million. I treat making movies like I would pulling oil out of the garage. The product is the last thing.

It doesn't matter to them at all. Like they don't interact with the product. It's crazy. Another thing I had mentioned to you guys was that Gus 4 in the 80s had like a Chapaquinic thing where he was like... Is this like the Freddie movies

where every other one is good? Gus 4. Yeah. And they're like, the original guys back. Gus 4 was like a rich teenage dickhead with a Porsche and it was like Chappaquitic. He like flipped his Porsche and killed a girl. It was like 80s you said?

In the 80s. And it was like, but then like charges were never filed, which is really fishy. It's like, oh, Anheuser-Bush came in and bought off the family. And it was like nasty shit. But I think the big thing about the modern era was this, that Gus 3 had brought in this brilliant Don Draper guy named Bob Lackey. Bob Lackey is a famous ad man who came up with Spuds McKenzie, the frogs,

wass, he did all of that. All that one guy? Yeah, like he was in charge of the team that then did all that shit. Wow, we salute him. Yeah, that's the other thing. Budweiser has awesome commercials. Like, they've got such a good branding.

The fact that we started or I started by being like, I love that fucking logo. That's all I care about it. I don't know the beard taste. Also, light. Bud Light is like even more comedy leaning. Dilly Dilly Dilly. Dilly Dilly.

Well, what's up was Bud Light, right? Was that Bud Light? Yeah, yeah. I feel like Bud Light goes the funny route and Bud Weiser goes the Colts, you know, route. Yeah, the Clydesdales.

They had like Shane Gillis and Post Malone. I mean, Bulls have been doing Super Bowl commercials for like three, four years now. I honestly don't think Bud heavy bothers with those commercials. I feel like Post Malone and Shane Gillis, this is all the blue can, right? I feel like... Right.

And I think Budweiser is just, it's prestige, it's horses, it's the Bill of Rights. As we stand right now, Budweiser is owned by, it got gobbled up by InBev, so it's Anheiser Bush InBev.

A, B, Inbev is a giant conglomerate. But Bud Light is the third biggest beer in America. Number one right now is Mick Ultra. Madela. really? Modelo is number two. Okay.

So Modelo dethroned Bud Light like a year ago. And then last fall, Mick Ultra because it's low carbos. Weird. Very, I knew it as like a golf beer, but I feel like they've been marketing a lot on all sporting events and stuff. On all courses. They market to like fun runs and like, yeah. Cyclists and runners. I mean, I like it.

It has very little taste, but it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, the definition of crushable. You know what I'm doing for my round two? I also bought a Bud Light. I'm going to do Bud Light. Oh my. Michael. That's clever. I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to make my own Bud Light Lime. Hey. What's the recipe? Just put a little lime juice in there. That's all. Yeah. Have you ever had anyone put a, or not anyone, the reason I ever said that is because someone did this to me at a bar and I didn't know that. I was like, hey, but you take Tabasco and do a few drops of Tabasco in a, you know, pine of beer. It's called a bar. It's called a Barn burner.

Ooh, that's a good idea. This guy was like, now you got a barn burn and I was like, well, I don't know who you are. Well, he did that to you. He gave you a little Tabasca.

That's fucked up. Barney's, Barney's beanery. Hey, what's putting salt in a beer called? Jolata, salt in lime. Oh. No,

I feel like that's just like a Midwest weird thing. Salt beer. Just like a few taps of salt. I never heard. Just putting salt in the beer. Huh.

Okay. Interesting. But I misspoke. I'm not doing a bud light lime i'm making a bud heavy lime oh yeah well why don't you uh boil the bud and get some of the fat out of it like the curds of fat come to the top and you scoop them out maybe i'll take out some of the globules all right folks we're going to take a quick break and when we come back final thoughts back we're talking bud wiser and mike's cracking a bud like glug glug glug

glug look at them go oh that's a much different taste uh i put in that lime juice Not that's that much different, but it's noticeable. How was it? I put in that lime juice to start bubbling like crazy. At first it was lying dormant on top. But then I put in a little stir stick and gave it the tiniest stir. And I don't know if it's the sugars or the acids from the lime juice. The thing started foaming all over my counter made a fucking mess.

Ooh, it gave you the badger effect. Rear. So you're not, so are you drinking that now? Yeah, I'm drinking it in real time, live on pod. how does it taste? Does it match up to the real? I don't like Bud Light Lime. I can do like one of those. It's a faky lime, yeah. It's a faky lime, but it's fine.

It's good pool beer in the sun. I bet when you're drinking now, it tastes probably like a Corona in lime. You know what I mean? It does. Well, that's kind of an easy beer, logger beer. You know, like some people flinch at putting lime in a, in like a non-Mexican, like, in a non-Mexican laager or serva or something. You can put any citrus in any beer.

Yeah. Especially, I mean, any cheap beer, yeah, it's like the thing about servauses is there. It livens it up. So it's like, yeah, any cheap beer would, is helps by some citrus. I opt out, I opt out of the lime in the serva. I like just the beer taste. Well, I, it's funny because Corona is not cheap. So it is kind of funny to make that one taste.

I like Pacifico the best. Oh, that's mine. I like that Pacific, the label of Pacifico is my favorite. That's of the, of the, what about Victoria? That was a long neck bottle. That's nice. Well, that's pretty too.

Yeah, that's okay. Dodger Stadium is all Estreya. Oh, yeah. I never see that outside of Dodger Stadium, Australia. Or rarely. Mike, how is the bud light, when you do it back to back with the bud?

Yeah. Is it noticeably lighter? Does it have a sugary taste like Tim said? I don't know. I could see the sweetness of it. But you know, it's funny. It just feels like more, maybe it's just because I just opened it, but it just feels like foamy or in your mouth, not, uh,

there's, there's definitely like a density or at least my brain just feeling like there's a density. Difference. A density. Well, that also I can imagine that like the lack of taste would make you think more about the texture. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Your other, uh, sense takes over.

Your other senses make up for it like daredevil. It's exactly like that. that. I didn't do anything different in round two, but I loved round run and I got a nice buzz going on and round two is delicious. It sounds like you liked round run a little too

much. Round one, Tim, please. We're not drunk yet. Here's a problem. Since I do have a, I am feeling a little tipsy, I feel like I have my little bit of beer, liquid courage. I need to confess something to you guys.

Oh, oh shit. You got the, your vigor is up. This is going out on the RSS. Are you sure? I'm sure because I'm so drunk. I'm going to admit to you guys. There's something that I did in the past and I swore I wouldn't do it again. And I was doing good, but I kind of relapsed.

And unfortunately, I hacked Scott Stacks. I hacked Scott Stap's laptop. No. You had Scott. Stapp's Laptop? I hacked Scott Stapp's laptop. Where the hell are you getting Scott Stabbs lap tap? Well, I was invited over for brunch at the Creed lead singer's house.

I went down into his basement. I took out his computer. I hacked it. He keeps his computer in the basement? Wait, is this happened before? It's happened once before, and I promised I wouldn't do it again. But I'm tipsy, so I'm admitting to you that I hacked Scott Stats. You relapsed.

You relapsed. I put a Mb3 on a hard drive, on a flash drive. I put it in my underwear BVD's. I got it out of there. And I thought I found an early cut of one of his Creed songs. Do you have it with you? Did you bring the file with you? I'm sending it to Jeff right now.

Okay, it's coming through. Yeah, I see the little ticker bar is going. It's beaming up to the satellite. Okay, the ticker is hitting the satellite bar to you, Jim. It just hit the firewall. Hold on. Okay. You might need to hack around that a little bit.

Yeah, hack through that, Jeff. If you could hack through. Yeah, we're in. Okay. Good. Great. Perfect. When drinking, I have one request of you at this time, my friend.

Sucks. When getting beers, I fear just what you say Because I don't want to hear the Coors or Miller names Because there's a logger with the choiciest rice From a brown ball Or a can that is not gray So let's order Let's speak up and say

Come on, let's order Something beachwood age Can you drink Budweiser From a place Called St. Lou Can you drink Budweiser?

What do you say before? I hacked Scott Stapp's laptop. You relapsed and hacked Scott Stapp's laptop? I reallapsed and hacked Scott's laptop. I ran a Scott's. Lap laptop relap. Tim, first of all, that was meant to be on that laptop because that's clearly not good. The music was the level was so low and the vocal was too high.

The vocals are, it's mainly mix issues. Yeah, it's a poorly engineered track. Lyrically, it's ready to go. Yeah, literally it's better than, can you take me higher? Yes, yes. Can I drink Budweiser? would be what he was doing. That kind of reminds me of that that Tracy Chapman's song that's like,

it's got to be Coors, it's got to be. It's got to be, but it's got to be wiser. That's not Tracy Chapman? No, no, that's somebody else. Meredith Baxter? Meredith Baxter Bernie. I don't know who that is. Gotta be bad.

That was, that's exciting to. Desreet. Desray. That's exciting to, uh, a go to Scott Stapp's house. B, B, in his basement, see his computer.

What's his laptop? What's the background? What's his desktop looking like? Like creed stuff. So he has, it's a Mac. It's a, the OS, the operating system is Monterey. Ooh, nice. So the default background was like

a forest. That's nice. Yes. Well, I'm glad to do that, Tim. And like always, the show is sponsored by a BVD, brand briefs. I'm glad you did that.

Yeah, Tim, I'm relieved that you relapsed and hacked Scott Stap's laptop. That's great. Well, being honest about it and sharing the sort of sharing the fruits, that's pretty nice. I would think Budweiser should promote that way. Like, hey, after one and a half Budweiser's, you'll be motivated to be more honest with your co-hosts.

You'll have the guts to go into a rocker's house and steal his debt. After only 18 ounces of our brew you will be you will be speak true yes you will speak the true true true from the blood from cloud atlas i never saw cloud alice can you believe it is that the true true that is the true true on the real real uh tom hanks says cunt in that movie that's kind of interesting tom hanks not normally a swearer no no no here he is in cloud atlas saying the word the the the is the the scene word. Now, he plays a few different

characters in that film. Is it like a British guy and therefore that's why he says it because let's throw that around more? He's like an asshole. He's like a British blowhard. And it's not the only character he plays. Timmy plays multiple dudes. Yeah. Now, this movie spans decades, uh, eons

perhaps. Yeah, it sort of spans the imagination as well. That's a lot. People make fun of it, but I remember admiring the ambition of it. Like it feels like it was probably a good novel and hard to make as a movie, but I admired the ambition. Who directed that movie?

Wachowski's? That's what I thought. Oh. That sounds familiar. Post Matrix. You know what I saw was Speed Racer. Have you seen Speed Riser? No, but people like that movie. People say it's good.

It's insane. Insane good or just like cool to watch? Oh, insane. It's cool, weird, different. It's not like anything you've seen. Is it entertaining or is it like, hey, this is bad. I'm laughing at. Yeah, you should check it out.

But it's like get some people together. and you'll be like, cool, this is wild. I'm like tripping out. I'll get some people. Maybe I'll get the one Wokowski and two Wakowski. Yeah, but maybe I want that for the people, Joe. Jeez. I'm going to make a fool of myself.

Do you guys know friend of the band Nick Nanny, comedian, Nick Namedy? Yes, yes, of course, of course, yes. One time I was at his apartment back when he lived in New York on the night of his birthday as the was winding down, he was like, let's put on a movie. He put on Speed Racer, and we watched Speed Racer. Mike, do you remember that? No, maybe I was at the time I didn't know it was a Wikowski

film, but I'm also realizing me and you and Nick in New York went and saw Matrix Reloaded together. Oh, yeah. That was funny. And he was like, yeah, we gotta go see Matrix Relo. So this guy brings me out to the lesser Wikowski projects. That's what he gets me to.

He's a Wachowski, Lesser Wachowski. What am I saying? I'm saying, Chow. You guys could do what you want. Chow sounds right. You're a film guy. I'm not. Yeah, wakow. Wakow! All right. And now we turn our attention to our final adjudication.

Budweiser. It's before the committee, before the triumvirate. Michael, your thoughts, please. We all know what we're going to say here, I think it's an order again, but I think it's an all-timer. This is a, what do we call this? Goddome. Stone Cold classic. It's a Stone Cold classic.

Speaking of Stone Cold, he used to drink Budweiser, Stone Cold Steve off. Yes, he did. He used to crack him in a, I mean, I'm not a wrestling guy. I don't like wrestling. But he used to kind of pound him together, have one of each hand, boom, and then kind of dump them both over his head into his mouth. Yeah. Like he was wasting a lot of them.

He was kind of getting everywhere. Yeah. He would drink beers the way Cookie Monster would eat cookies, you know? You love him so much, but you're fucking. run through quite a bit of it. A lot of waste. A lot ends up on the floor. Yeah, a lot of waste.

You would think Cookie Monster would savor them. Yeah, I know. He's a freak. Well, they would cut away. You know, Cookie Monster does this bit, and what they don't show is him, like, picking the cookies up off the floor and eating every last, like, crumb.

Yeah, that would bump people out. Yeah, watching him have to sweep. He's, like, scraping him up with his blue hands. Oh, it's disgusting to watch. my lower back hurts. All right. Well, you shouldn't have eaten so crazy.

He eats too crazy. Jeff, what's your, Tim, what's your, what's, he's too crazy. My review, I'm right there with the Stone Cold Classic.

This is, to me, it's the Coca-Cola beers, tastes like beer, smells like beer. I think I'm onto something with the sweetness, even in the butt-heavy.

I think there's something there that keeps us hooked that's slightly sweet. But the bottle is so much nostalgia. The can, the Mike's mug. I love,

Bernie's in Brooklyn, how they have budd draft, like frosty mugs of bud on draft. I love that. Ooh, frosty mugs. That's good. I also love the fact that people are going to be coming out to St. Louis on July 21st. And they're going to be seen us at Blueberry Hill, the duck room. The only ding I have against this Budweiser beer is I've had one and three quarters of one.

And all I can think about is pizza. And I'm trying to eat healthy. this week and this beer makes me, don't you want to eat a pizza? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm thinking that the bud heavy does more, like, makes you want. It's a pizza beer. You just want to add to that shitty. And not even good pizza, shitty pizza.

Like, the worst pizza. I want dominoes. Can you believe that? You're going to get it. Here's the problem. I have in my freezer right now a frozen Chicago style Ginoz yeast pepperoni pizza. I'm trying not to eat that. I've got Greek salad stuff in the fridge that I should be eating.

And you will. And you must. God, that sounds good. And I must. You know what I'll say, too? You say this iconic, and we start talking about the label. The Budweiser heavy label is great. The Bud Light is so, I mean, you recognize it, but it's just so nothing.

It's just like, eh. No, it's not, don't say that. It's got its own thing going on. But compared to the, compared to, like a blue can, it's got its own aesthetic, man. It does, it does. But compared to the, the classic Budweiser look, it's like, well, that's really look. And this one, they're like, let's just make it. really simple. When I see that blue can, I only think NFL. Like, I feel like it's only a Sunday

after noon beer. No kidding. I feel like they spend all that ad money on the NFL. Um, guys, the bud can. You're right. iconic aesthetic. It's a sleigh. Um, yeah, for the Gen Z listeners. And I like that it looks, it looks important to me. I read it like I read a Dr. Bronner's label or a dollar bill. It feels like there's a lot going on. I know it's going to outlive me, these beers, this company. Especially if you keep drinking those beers. That's right.

Folks, it's an order again and again and again. It's a stone cold classic. Yeah. Give it a hell. It's probably going to be one of the big episodes for us. So congrats to you. Hopefully. Congratulations on our financial boon.

Yeah. Make sure to make room. in your bank account for a bunch of new dollars? Yeah. Yes, I told the bank it makes it make a little extra space. Dost off some of my older cash. I wanted to look good for when the new stuff shows up. We're going to end up being like these August, the third or fourth type guys were rich billionaires, but publicly we're like, I love to have a beer.

Like who was the McDonald's CEO who like, was it, was it McDonald's? Who was just like, yes, I love the hamburger. Yeah, yeah. That's so funny. He's like the taste profile is much closer to what we want. Ugh. Taste profile insane. Oh, Mieland, can you put in when Jeff says it's a stone cold classic as well?

Can you put in Steve Austin like, oh, hell yeah. Something like that. And Mielan at the end of this episode plays out with the Sloppy Boy song Here for the Beer. Oh, very good. Our number one streaming song, Tim, very good. That's our show. Follow us on social media at the sloppy boys where we release these recipes ahead of time

or release these beers ahead of time. If you can't get enough boys, it's patreon.com slash the sloppy boys. That's where you get kind of double the laughs, double the life quality every week for a measly $5. It's pretty good. We're thinking about raising the price too. We're thinking about raising the price. Every podcast out there says five bucks.

Somebody's going to six. We're not going to be the first to flinch. but we've been thinking about it. But we will join the ranks. Once that happens, folks, we are joining that. Once the Strait of Hormuz opens, who knows what's going to happen with these prices. In the meantime,

everyone should be very gracious and grateful to us because I looked it up. We started the blowout in the year 2020. Yeah. And we charged $5 for it. Since then, there's been much inflation, has there not? Very much so. Not with us, though.

I was like, to not even raise the price, not gouge whatsoever, just to keep pace with inflation, we should be charging 624 a month. Or at least, at least him making the show a little bit worse and shittify the show. Shittification. Let's do that. We could just do that. Choose what you want, folks. Do you want a shitty show or do you want good quality content? People listen and it's just not funny.

They're like, shittier show, I guess. I don't mind. How would we know? Because we do record a better one And then we release the shit here one Wait, oh, do we put up a new Tier yet? Oh my God, Mike, you're right.

This should have been Booz News. Folks, there's a new Patreon tier, the Brogan Bailey tier. It's actually not sanctioned by the sloppy boys LLC. Ooh, all right. Actually, we strictly forbid that people subscribe to this tier of the Patreon. Yeah, do not subscribe. this is the Brogan Bailey tier

and you know we don't want anyone to subscribe you're being told not to do this. We want you to do as you're told. Do as you're told. But the bummer is that any true hero of the Highland, they're not going to do it they're told.

And what's done is done, the tier is out there. But for what we're saying, it's by decree of the sloppy boys at L.C., none of you are to subscribe at the Broken Bailey tier. And that decree goes out All three of us All three of us are going to our most local

Town halls and with a hammer and nail Putting up that decree on the front of it Yes, we are all steadfast in that Respect our wishes We want this here to remain Subscriberless So please heed our decree Oh and our demands

Will be met Well we're going to burn down your farm And say your horse is free and possibly burn your wife as well. Possibly. We don't actually remember what happened to Brogan Bailey, but whatever happened to him? He lost his farm slash wife, question

mark. He burned down his wife. Bye, folks. We love you. Bye. Peace. Pots party. Popped up supermodels doing their drugs and style. Now as I fall for after the park to our side. He said,

And shrew morphine and weavers and downers, methane, LSD. I can make you three fly. You just tell me what you need. So I leaned in close and said, now listen to me. The case of some cups was drinking. Hey, more for us. Three chicks came on over. There were the perfect shape in size.

They said, to laugh and you seem like funny guys where we all got to talk in maybe this party didn't suck they were single ready to mingle and where I got the blonde one said this is boring and we're gonna run back to our house with a hot tub and do you want to come in close and put my lips to her ear and said sorry hunt But didn't you hear? Don't hold our liquor well. A few cups of beer and well drunk as hell.

As the night went on, we sort of fell apart. A supermodel asked me, Hey, did you just farm? I said, it's a natural thing. But her boyfriend showed my shoulder and said, said, yeah, but it really stinks. I look to Tim and Jeff, Hey boys, we're gonna brawl.

But Jeff was by a shelf with an autographed baseball. The owner chewed him out. Come on, Jeff, that's not a toy. Tim was talking a rival. No, he kept calling him Roy. At this point, I had lost my hat and car key. Couldn't drive anyway.

Shit, I could barely see. We found a guitar and sang piano, man. But the guests wouldn't join us. They suggested we scramed. But we barely quished our thirst. Besides, if you want us to leave, you'll have to catch us first.
