Hey folks, welcome to the sloppy boys where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton along with Mike Hanford. Hi. And Tim Kalpacis. What is up? Oh, and we're three hosts with three frogs in the throat this early morning. Morning record. This is good because we're doing a caffeinated drink so we decided to record in the morning.

Have you guys had your tip? I already had two shots of espresso just to wake up this morning. I had a little bit of cold. just to get zipped up. What brand cold brew? Righteous Fices from New Hampshire. That's a New Hampshire bean for a New Hampshire boy. I thought they were from Maine.

I hope not. They are. I don't know, maybe it's New Hampshire. It's New England. It's New England. Yeah, no, New Hampshire. Chester Conway, New Hampshire. And I hope they're...

Sometimes I should shut my fucking mouth. But we met them in Maine. Yes. We met them in Maine, Tim, muster. remember. And also I said New Hampshire Bean. I hope they're not growing the beans in New Hampshire. It's too snowy. It's not where you get your coffee beans. Yeah.

This is not an official statement from Reicious Vices, but they say that that winter freeze really locks in that cocoa bean flavor. Coffee bean. That's how they do that. That's how they do it. And then they ship the beans down below the equator on a ship and bring them

back up and they taste good again. That makes sense because I've been growing coffee beans here in L.A. And there's a moment where the beans are fragrant, pungent, delicious. But then because it never freezes over, it doesn't lock in. Every morning I wake up, I check them,

less taste, less taste, and I watch, and then by the time I make my coffee, it's a transparent, flavorless, scentless bean, rotten bean, clear rotten bean.

Folks, if you don't know what I was talking about with bringing the liquor down to the other side of the equator, That was a story we talked about when we did the aqua, what's it called? Aquavit. Aquavit. Aquavit.

Yeah, there was a Scandinavian company that said we take our liquor and we send it down in a boat in the ocean down past the equator and then right back up. And it makes the liquor taste better. It needs to go in a little ride. Okay. You can taste that little ride. Liny, I believe that stuff was called. I love it. Yeah.

Aquavit. Speaking of coffee, morning. records the morning. I'd like to hear your morning, Jeff, you say you lay, you're laying horizontal in bed where you have your coffee and you do a morning scroll. Mike, are you up and at him? Actually, no.

On tour, I know you're the latest sleeper and you're kind of the coziest guy. So do you stay in bed for a long time? It sort of takes Jeff and Tim all of their might to rouse him. Yeah, we get to the show and you guys are like like,

the owner of the club is like, you got him? Oh, great. How did you get him? Well, we had a bucket of cold water. No, my routine is quite interesting. It's, it's kind of phasing away from this these days. These days I'm kind of getting a little more like get up, walk right out the front door and go get a coffee, be moving first. Get up, get out of bed, drag a comb across his head. He's out of there. He's out of there, vote. No, but what I was in a little, I wouldn't say rut, a little groove of this for a while. Get up. Get hop right in bed. Hey! Hey! Start making a coffee. My French press coffee. Whoa! French press. Wow.

Oh! Maybe a little vanilla creamer. Then what I do, I sit down in my little IKEA rocker seat. I put my headphones in, and I listen to the mornings podcast. While seated. Well, hold on, Tim. There's more. I'm listening to Up First, NPR's up first, at the daily. Ooh, then, but while I'm doing that, I'm playing Fortnite. Oh, nice, dude. I play a couple early morning fortnights, and I really enjoy it. It's, I just kind of am chilling out for about 40 minutes. Sort of taking a digital walk to.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. But these days I am more, since the weather is nice, getting up and, and getting out. Yep, you got a. And hey, for me, I don't do the Sip and Scroll these days. No, no. I post a birthday boy's video and I brick that phone. It's bricked.

I'm off to the gym. You got the bricker. The gym. Check me out. I'm back at the gym. Abbs by August. Do I look like Johnny Bravo yet? Oh, yeah.

Abs. And we do want to clarify that. That's abs by August 31st, 1159 p.m. 2027. We have all that time to get one little ab popping out. I had a little. I remember I was like, guys, I'm, I'm, Well on my way to abs by August.

It's not going to happen, but I was going to the gym quite a bit. And then I took a little bit of a tour slash vacation slash home to visit parents trip. Isn't it crazy? I got back on my grind. Isn't it crazy? Look, touring's the best. Last year we did 50 shows. This year we're taking it a little more easy.

We're leading a little bit more of a balanced life. Although we've probably done like 30, right? Yeah. And by the end of the year, yeah, I think that is probably the. But last year was. Yeah. It's not 2025 level legendary. But it's crazy.

People talking about that tour still. It's crazy how disruptive it is towards like just the other sort of patterns and routines that you establish in your home life. Like the week before the tour, panic. Pandemonium. The week after the week after the tour, sick as a dog. But also during the show's panic and pandemonium because it's a wild time. But it's joy. It's joy.

Oh yeah, it's joyous, Panamone. Do you guys, when you go to bed, how quickly, or like between when you turn off your phone to, like, going to bed? One second. Yeah. I mean, I do. I know. Every day I see things like, make sure you're putting your phone away. 20 minutes before bedtime.

I really like the sense of when, I mean, I go to sleep fairly quickly. So I would agree, like, one second. But I don't know, the couple minutes you have there where you're falling asleep, I love. I love the sensation of sleep taking hold. Like you can tell when your thoughts start to get a little weird. And you're like, yes. It feels like it almost feels like being anesthetized or something like that. Like you're aware that things are getting a little heavy and a little cozy and weird.

It feels like the onset of a drug or something. I mean, I think it is your, you know, because people say some people take melatonin. I'm sure it is just like chemicals, new chemicals splashing through the brain. I think it's melatonin. I think it's the naturally produced that it's your brain's like time to sleep and then you get that fuzzy feeling your skin. But I've been having this a lot lately what you're talking about, Jeff, where I'm laying in bed and especially like, let's say it's a flight in the morning and I got to get to sleep.

So I'm like trying to sleep. And if I haven't fallen asleep yet, I'm like, now you're thinking about it. Now there's pressure. Oh, yeah. But though, like let's say on a successful night where I'm going to get some sleep, it's like, there's a funny moment where I'm like, man, I wish I was, but I'm not falling asleep. And then I'm thinking about some kind of weird and I'm like, These are some pretty weird thoughts.

This is a dream. I know I'm in bed and everything, but this is dream-esque. If you can hang in that little moment and not be like, oh, I think I'm doing that thing. Oh, shit, now I'm awake. That's usually what happens to me is if you pop back.

Pop back to reality. Oh, they go sleepery. Yeah. When I start getting in an argument with Ethan Hawk, I know that I'm about to go to bed. And you're arguing about the craft of acting and you're winning? But if you're yelling at a bartender who's getting your cassidia to you too slowly, then you know you're in reality.

Oh, I'm more awake than ever. You wake up yelling at the guy. You're like, holy shit, I've been fogg and sleep on me. I'm elucid. Ah, well, do we get into some booze news? Bibbib, bit, bit, booze news hit it. I go to hell and back for a Sazirac. Right, right, right, right.

I go to hell and back for a Sazerac. I would keep a tidy room for Heidi. Kloom. Oh, I thank you, warm it for a dark and stormy. I would snore sleep on Laura Prypton. I'd slip you a fiber for another screw driver. I'd crunch Tandy Newton like a candy croon. Leave a Mondeau tip for a mint you lip if you know for me.

Keep a tidy room for Heidi Klum? Yeah. I'd keep a tidy room for a Sazerak was sent to us by Rick Tapper, Tappin to the Tapper. And if you have a boon's news theme, email to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail. Did you come up with that little tagline or did he send that in as part of his name? I got taglines for all over a little. Okay. Tapper the Tapper.

Good catch. Tapper. It was an homage tip of the hat in Tom Collins that we were kind of winking at. MC Paul Barman, who Mike turned me on to, low those many years ago. Yes, those many years, low, low, low. Did you know, did you know that, I mean, we're not sharing the stage with Paul Barman, but our Palladium tour, our Palladium show on the Star Bomb Tour, that tour also has a Paul Barman date and an open Mike Eagle date. Oh.

Many scoochy bouchy dates, but that's going to be like a cavalcade of stars. That's fun. Do you remember where the Paul Barman date is? I'm going to see. I'm going to guess New York, but I'm guessing that too. And the sloppy boys date, that is September 16th at the Hollywood Palladium, a 4,000 capacity venue. Huge. Huge.

That is a, you've been, you guys have been there. It's a lot of floor space. It's just a huge building. It's high. Huge. Beautiful. How are we going to sell merch to that many people? 4,000 people buy and shit.

We should tell them not that we can't. On the stage, we'll make an announcement. Folks, we can't be selling this much merch. We don't have enough, so we're going to have to raise the price. Sorry, it's just the economics of the room. It's the demand. Just blame the demand. Yeah.

You guys are demanding it. Okay, so boo's news. Do you remember a couple weeks ago on, here on the pot, here on the show, we talked about a drink that was an Instagrammy drink called the Hot Girl Summer Cocktail. And it was like Diet Coke, lemon, vodka, espresso. And we thought it was, you know, a bit of a novelty. But we were saying there is something to be said here for the espresso factor because coming off the espresso martini, which is not a very. versatile drink, in my humble opinion. There is going to be something else

to cash in on that wall. It doesn't need to be versatile, Tim. It's just got to do one thing, do it well. Well, I like versatility. Ooh. To celebrate today's drink of the day, which we haven't gotten to yet. We should have gotten a Swiss Army knife for him, Jeff,

when we were up in Zermott. I know. I do think about that. I wish I had a Swiss Army knife. Tim, take it away. I feel like I bought some. I have a BAM. bag of Swiss souvenirs sitting under my desk here that I haven't even opened that it's like all these

Zermont hats and Zermot shot glasses. The last day was very funny because we each went out. We're like, okay, I got to run some errands. Yeah, yeah, me too. And then we were all just like circling around the gift shop, buying like into each other. Also, it's funny that Zermot does just give you like, okay, you're here. You want the chocolate. You want the watch. You want like, give me the stuff. I just, I just recently saw my family and I brought some of the Zermat stuff because I was like, Oh, well, it's not Christmas. It was like Christmas just happened. I just didn't bring souvenirs other times I saw them.

It's like, here's a skiing thing right here in the middle of summer. Here's a magnet. I bought multiple ashtrays and I don't smoke cigarettes, but I remember. The tiger room. I haven't opened them up or put them out, but I remember bragging to you guys when I bought them. I was like, think about it because I got all this like tropical teaky shit. But then when I add all the Swiss stuff, it's like year-round worldly guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Uh-huh. When I had that stuff, people won't know where they are. Then people will see. They've always laughed at me. They'll know I've been to these places. Okay, so for Tambo's News, I brought in two more drinks that are solidifying that we are smart and we have foresight and this trend is happening. We knew that. Look at this.

Viral drink everybody's talking about called the fridge cigarette, diet Coke and espresso with little creamer. There's some sweet cream. fridge cigarette is a funny term Gen Z term for a Diet Coke It's sort of like the equivalent of taking a smoke break Is getting a nice cold, crispy, cracky That's funny. It's an addictive little thing.

Yeah, you take a little break, you have a little caffeine And then you reenter the room like, Oh, I had a little reset. So people have been putting espresso in their diet, pouring it out on ice, adding espresso and then topping it with that whatever like little creamer type thing you do.

And this is kind of, This is bigger than, I would say it's pretty TikTok-y still, but as opposed to the hot girl summer cocktail, this is one that I'm seeing like more people making at least, like a spread of loss across a few more creators, which is nice. And then similarly, this went out of South Korea, the white monster Americano. Take a glass of ice, pour a white monster energy drink and then pour in a couple shots of espresso, just like you're making an Americano. instead of water, white monster energy drink. Is the idea, oh boy, that sounds nastified, but is the idea to, they're separated? Oh, they're separated. Are you seeing these?

I haven't looked. They're wild looking. It sort of looks exactly like the, what did we look at last week, the Smearnoff Ice Guinness? The Badger's, yes, yes. The Badger. It looks very much like that. I got to say, I like a white monster. I know it's got a trashy sort of aesthetic.

the monster. But it's just chemicals in a can. You know, your chemicals in a can versus my chemicals in a can. It's no different than that Diet Pepsi that you were just talking about. I agree. The only points against monsters, it's a bigger can, whereas, like, I feel like I could get that Torrine into my veins faster with a Red Bull or a Celsius. Yeah.

But I don't mind that monster. But so this one, at least, though, people that are making the white monster Americano are claiming it tastes really good. And they're like, oh, there is a little bit of a something. alchemy that happens here, like the espresso in the white. Because, I mean, think about it. Monster is like too sweet, but then some bitter, bitter espresso in there. I think it kind of balances it out and makes something happen.

I like this idea. It's too bad. There's no booze in it, Tim. Oh, I think we could handle that, Jeff. No, here's a thing that I'll admit right now is that didn't even occur to me when I brought this into booze news. There's no booze. That's okay.

No, but what if the listeners find out that I'm stupid? No, no, no, no, that's okay, Tim, because I have a little bit of news with some booze. I mean, like, we've done booze news items where, like, Mike saw a movie. Yeah, no, no, no, that was Zubi Condorino who saw the movie. Oh, yes, yes, yes. I don't know who that person is. This is okay, Jeff, because it's all booze news because it's a booze podcast. So as long as we're talking about it.

Right, right. I think that's the, anyway, this is a story that's sort of in development. I was reading a little article that Bob. boxed wine is getting more and more popular. A lot of companies are seeing triple digit sale, triple digit, how to know, triple digit something. Over $100? No, what if I try to say? Triple digit growth percentage. Oh, that's great. That reminds me of the sloppy boys LLC. Now, the question is, we should team up with one of those companies. It reminds me. I'm getting deja vu here. It's like I'm looking at our numbers. Looking at our turns and graphs from the other day. Now, the question is, is, is it,

Bransia, or is there new boxed wine coming in and disrupting? That's the thing. It's the new era. It's the new box wines. It's bougie box wines. You know all these products of like, boom, it's the street food made by a chef who's renowned of some sort. But this is kind of the same vibe.

I don't know the brands yet, but I'm thinking we do one when I come out there with you guys. Yeah. You think the three of us could cash a box of wine in one sitting? I think a box of wine, they vary in size, but you can get some that are equal to four bottles of wine. So I think there's something to people are getting them more because of the size is bigger. And you think like, whoa, so people are drinking more? Not necessarily.

It's just with the boxed wine, they seal and they last longer than bottled wine. So you can get like 30 days out of an open box wine instead of a eight. There's no air hitting it. Exactly, exactly. Instead of like, you know, open a bottle, it's like a week maybe. And it's just like it's a good party pleaser, you know? I imagine it's very cost effective to get your friends together and, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, put a pull out the franzi.

Now, I said beatbox earlier thinking like that was the new disruptor wine in the juice boxes. No, those are party punch. Beatbox. You've seen these. Yeah. That's like an RTS handheld little bo coup of. Yeah, just give you a bocou. Yeah, what's RTS?

Ready to serve. Okay. I guess it's RTD. Like real-time shooter? But, well, you guys made fun of me for, I was, on Boos News, I said that buzzballs had to surpassed Cutwater and Beat Bucks to become the number one RTD. And you guys laughed in my face because he didn't know, think that that was an accomplishment.

But there is a whole thing happening with kids in Cutwater right now because those cocktails, it's a 12 ounce can. So people assume that it's a one serving thing like everything else. but it's really two cocktails. Yeah. Like two margaritas, two, two mitis, because you're supposed to pour down on ice. So people are getting really fucked up on these cutwaters

because they chug them like on pace with people who are having beers. Yeah, yeah. I've even seen that they smartly, or at least cutely, have come out with small cans. Like you got the normal 12-ounce cans and then the shelf above it at Albertsons, you get like tiny cans and they're the same, you know, my ties, margaritas, et cetera. I do find when I see those in,

pulse items, like the little can't, uh, I kind of grab one of those them off and they're, they're pretty, uh, the cuteness is very like, ooh, they look like Fortnite sprites in a way, but it's like, I like when a nip, and they almost all do this now, when a nip is a miniature version of a, of like a very interesting bottle shape. Yeah. Yeah. You know, like if you find Montenegro. Yeah, like a small Montenegro and it's got the same like, yeah, it's funny. It's like Rick Moranus, shrunk it down. And we got to drink it to bring it to.

him back. Did you ever see, speaking of the box wine thing, my friend, beloved neighbor Matt, who recently moved away to Silver Lake. Beloved by who, you maybe,

not me and Jeff. By all. No, by the end of that. He went crazy viral years ago. He went to a music festival and he put a bottle of, he built this little backpack thing

where he had a bottle of Francia on his back. Like a camelback? I mean, a, yeah, like, No, in the box.

He had the whole box of Francia on his back, strapped to his back. And then next to it, he had like a stack of cups, like in a dispenser. And then he was like holding a hose for the thing. So he went to musical fest and he was pouring everybody wine from his backpack. It's funny because it's like very, it's a Reddit thing. Like it keeps coming and going. Like every year and a half, it gets like 10 million upvotes on Reddit. And it's like, this guy knows how to attend the music fest.

But it is a very funny picture. Like, it's just a great picture. He's facing the other way and you just see his back is really well executed. I didn't know he was a celebrity, Matt. I tried to tell you. You wouldn't listen. I thought it was more of a neighbor. Yeah, well, wait until I tell you about Adams' accomplishments.

Well, all celebrities have to live next to somebody. That's funny if your thing is that you're a neighbor. Like, you're a famous neighbor. You're just in relation to someone else. Like, and you see yourself that way. He's like, yeah, hey, I'm Tim's neighbor. But it's funny that some posts will do well like, hey, That just comes around on Reddit every once in a while.

Like we had a video called Rough Patch that was Abby Elliott throwing clothes out a window. And then I was the boyfriend and I get the bright idea to throw the clothes back in the window. And then all the guys in the street gang together. And we throw all the clothes back in the window and the relationship is saved. Like that's sort of the logic here. Now, this took off as like a as a gif. It was like an extremely long gift. And so like the length of the gif was part of the appeal.

And then also it was like funny. It was all just visual comedy. And it went viral on Reddit like every couple of years it would come back out. Yeah, bro, and they call it brocode. They called it brocode. And we got no credit for it. But then I put it out on Instagram and it was totally mid. It did.

Too many frames per second, Jeff. Too many frames per. But it's just like, man, it's funny that certain platforms, you know, you think like, hey, that's a good idea. It's got to do well anywhere. Not so. Some ideas do well on Reddit. Other ideas do well on.

chatterbate. I got to go to the way to use but I yeah. Well, is that it

for boo's news? Wrap it up. Box wine. We're going to do it. Well, well, well, now we come to

a little part of the show I like to call the drink of the day. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Today,

we will imbibe the Carajillo. you've had? Not a had. Not a had. Carahio. Carahira.

Carahiro. It depends. How you want to say it? It's your own personal style? I, of course, am 1,300 and I think 52 days in my duolingo Spanish. But even I have trouble saying,

Cario. So don't feel bad if you're having a tough time. This is a drink. This is a fun. It's one of these ones. It's got a few different backgrounds, but they're all sort of the same vibe here. So this is a drink that some people think started in Cuba.

Some say Spain. Some say Mexico. No, Mexico comes later. But it's basically a coffee type drink or an espresso or a, that's basically it, mixed with a rum or a vodka or a tequila. But so that's just what a cara heo is sort of in general. What we're going to be talking about today is the Mexican caraheo. Which is because it's become so popular, now just Carahillo. means the Mexican cario.

Does that make sense? Do I have you still? Yes. So in a way, the hot girl summer cocktail, the fridge cigarette, all of these are Carajillo's in a way. Bingo Ringo. Well, do they have coffee? Coffee and booze.

Exactly. So. I like Bingo Ringo, by the way. This could be a new thing. Bingo Ringo. I bet you, I bet you, Paul or John, or even. I've heard even why can't I think of George has said bingo bingo. I heard that from a landlady himself, Adam Schatz, who is still touring with Japanese breakfast.

You probably heard that between a couple honks, I imagine. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's honking the sex. Hey, Mike, honk, honk, honk, what? Bingo wringo, okay. Okay, so some of the histories here. So soldiers and laborers in Cuba would combine rum with strong coffee for stamina and bravery, transforming the word Karahi, for bravery, into Karahio, just a little diminutive of Karahe.

Same thing in Spain, tradition is just a blue-collar workers going off to work, giving themselves a little pep up and a little, just kind of making the day a little more fun in the morning. Now listen to this in 1949. the new liquor came to town. Somebody invented liquor 43. Yes? We all got that? We got that.

It became the quintessential partner for this drink. So when this liquor 43 came to town, that's when it was happening in Mexico City, and that's sort of how the Mexican Caraheo sort of locked in that moment. We're using this. This is the Caraheo. This is it, baby.

Now that's 1946. You're thinking, oh, so this thing's been around for that. long. It's been popular for that long. Well, not really. It was the 2000s when we had our cocktail boom. Remember the cocktail boom of the 2000s? Oh, yeah. Well, down in Mexico City, of course, like a lot of places. The rich people went into their sort of craft cocktail places. You know, I want to try some of the more blue collar stuff, but with a, you know, a nice, a nice, fucking tourist. A nice highbrow spin on it. And that's when, again, in the 2000s, it came back. What's another, what's an American drink like that? I'm trying to think of,

Something that was like, oh, you know, that's kind of, I was like PBR, PBR maybe. Oh, yeah. As a, hipster, is a hipster thing? Hipsters. The Karahillo comes, oh, this is, I found this cool. You can order two ways. If you ask for it, Pesto, that means the two ingredients are divided on the rocks,

and it's, you know, it's got a nice look. But if it's called shackadeo, I shake it up. I've never heard that. Shakaido. But there's, this is, this drink is a version, the Mexican version, this article I read in Punch, the Mexican version of the vodka Red Bull. This article is saying like a lot of cultures have that. Italy has one.

Spain has one. Mexico, I think Australia had something like that. But something with booze that's going to pop you up. A booze and a stimulant. Yeah. It's like an after dinner thing. Keep you going for, you know, your next party. And then who was it?

There was a supermodel that said, like, I'm like. something that's going to wake me up and fuck me up? Jeff. It was a supermod. It was somebody I dated and I can't fucking remember her name. God, we used to date and God, she wore me out. She wanted sex all the time. Oh, nasty.

We would know. We would go to nice events and she'd be like, can we leave? I'm like, do we just got here? This is great, nice event. Yeah, but I need it. I need it. I need it, need it. Well, I need to get something to eat.

Wear me out. I need it, need it because it was so unsatisfying earlier today. I need to try it again. Because it was my fault, she says. She says my fault. You are doing everything just so. All right, well, here's how you make it. This is a nice, very easy.

This is a, um, an Iki, uh, uh, Iki, ekey peaks, Eiki parts. What do we say last, uh, equal parts? Eiki P's. E quips. Yeah, this is an equal part drink. You're going to take two ounces of this liquor 43. You think this liquor 43 had anything to do with the movie 40?

I knew somebody was going to say it. What did you know? You don't know anything. Movie 43. Terrible. It's 43 ingredients. It's this Spanish lique. It's funny how like, does it feel like any liqueur that's like, oh, what's in it?

I feel like Chartreuse, Frenet, like all of them, when you look into it, it's like, there's 40 something in green. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We talked to one that was like 46 and other was 41. You're like, okay, why is that the number that is impressive to us? It's like, wow. Also, 16 of them tastes like licorice. So what are we doing here? The articles I was reading was like, with hints of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and an niece.

I'm like, of course. So let's just not, we know anise is going to be in just better. This one tastes very butterscotchy to me. I've had a caraheo at 33 taps in the Silver Lake, but I could never isolate the liquor 43 taste, but I stole a little a sip when I bought this bottle, and it is very desserty. It's very, yeah, after.

Very sweet, butterscotch type of sugar chillerone. I'm going to take a little sip before I make this up. Get my just desserts. Stop. Well, hold on. Let me tell you how to make it. So you take two ounces of the liqueur of 43 and then two ounces of room temp coffee.

You don't want that to be too hot. Put it in a shaker with ice. Shake it vigorously until it gets nice and frothy. And then just dump the whole thing out into your cup. Oh, Mike, but I want mine Pesto. Well, you can have it Pesto. Maybe round two. Okay, okay.

I want mine in shakarini. Wait. You port right in there. And I don't think there's any garnish or anything. Wait, we shake it up at a shaker and then dump everything into the glass? Yeah, that's how I read the... I was lazy and didn't look at the recipe again. And so I brewed up two shots of espresso.

Are you guys using normal coffee? I'm using Starbucks coffee, but it's espresso. Like, I think it's still coffee. Yeah, espresso roast. And me, uh, Righteous Vices cold brew, cool brew in the can, which I've heard, I've heard it's okay. I've heard it's okay, Mike. No, that should be fine.

That should be fine. Now, no, uh, no milk or anything in these. Interesting, interesting, interesting. That froth is going to just come, come from the shaking it up. Yeah, you guys shake so much, it turns to the, Dairy. Churn that drink. Oh, and put it into a short glass.

This thing, Kara, Karahios are always in short glasses. Ooh, a little rocks glass. Oh, by the way, new rocks glasses are coming soon, folks. We've tweaked the design. Rocksglass 2.0 coming at you at sloppyboys.com slash store. Clink, clink, clink, clink. All right, let's make these things up, and let's have them, Chaccarado and Pesto.

Pesto later. Pesto later. Chocorado now. Folks, we'll be right back. And we're back. Cairohio's in hand. I mean... And frosts.

Yours looks really dark. Oh, mine's settled dark. Mine was one second ago. It was beige and foamy all the way to the bottom. Oh, yeah, mine's already starting to get a little darker. My, yours is like gold. I know. Well, you made coffee, right?

Yeah, but it was dark road. Like, it was on the darker side. Well... This is right. Let's take some sips here. First sips. Oh, my God. Sumsuous.

Oh, my God. Sumsuous. Quite sumptuous, indeed. I agree it's sumptuous. I try to sip. Yeah, yes, we all think it's sumptuous. I try to sip of that liquor 43. And it, it was like a nostalgic whiplash.

I have not experienced in so long. It tasted like vanilla bean ice cream at grandmas when you're eight or something. Wow. Like I couldn't believe how it's like it's mostly vanilla but I want to say it also just has like a retro dessert luxe taste. You know it reminds me I used to work at Keller House in the upstate New Hampshire, Lake Winnabasaki in making ice cream we would put vodka in the vanilla.

There is vodka in vanilla flavoring up there. It's vodka and prune juice, actually. What? To make vanilla flavor. Now, did you have to say, did you, like, is it such a small amount that it's, like, not boozy enough? Yeah. Because it knows there's that boozy.

It wasn't like the boozy ice cream. Right, right. And then also, like, the way you use it, like the alcoholic dissipates or cooks off or whatever. But, um. Yes, it cooks off in the frozen ice cream. Jeff, you're going to have to go back a few steps. No, we use it for everything, for chocolate, whatever. Mm-mm-hmm.

That's a good... It's delicious. It's on the sweet side. So the equal partiki peas is definitely making it a... This after-dinner dinner drink. Because it's funny, I didn't know the history of it. I had heard of this drink just like, it's been popular the last couple of years.

And then maybe two summers ago, it had this big article in the New York Times about how it was like getting popular. But I feel like there was this like in Houston. There was like a renaissance for this drink. But I don't think it was as a after. dinner drink. I think it was more like coffee shop pick me up a hipster brunch thing. Definitely brunch. Yeah, yeah. I feel like I, this is delicious. And I guess if I had just

finished dinner and I wanted to still hit the town and get my groove on, I'd have one of these. But I also, like, if I were having this at brunch, I would maybe go more coffee less liquor 43 so that it's not entirely dessert mode. This, this feels to me like a weird brunch drink because it tastes so much like white Russian that I'm like, well, white Russian doesn't feel, it technically could be, but just doesn't feel like a brunch drink to me. It's a desserty. It's a disco drink.

But that's because it's creamy. This isn't as, isn't as creamed out. Yeah. Taste creamy, though. Close your eyes when you're drinking. You imagine this is a cream. Cream! All in my glass.

But it's not a, I don't know, it doesn't have like a thickness. Yeah, yeah. It could imagine me putting oat milk in it. Are you drinking oatmeal? Are you oatmeal? No, right now I have extra heavy Chabani. Ah, Chabani. But I do love Oatley.

Chabani. I like whichever one is cheapest at Albertsons when I go. I almost bought one for when I was picking up stuff for this, but I was like, it was a sale, but I was like, I got to get two for $9. I don't want two of those things. You want one? I want one. You know what's interesting. I didn't get either.

I'm not really, it was overwhelming. It's too much to talk about. I'm not really well versed in all of the barista arts, but I've noticed at both the boogiest of boogie coffee shops like Maru or all the way down to your corner Starbucks. If you order oat milk, look back there, see them opening up the little carton of oatly. You would think they would have some sort of like

restaurant version in a giant machine or at least Starbucks has would have like a big carton of blank no label yeah Starbucks version no they're all using Oatley they're walking over to Albertson's just like I was grabbing the Oatley right next to us in the aisle I hate to say it I went to there was a Starbucks near me and I've been going in the different coffee shops in my area and I popped in the Starbucks the other day because I knew they had I needed a big table and which are not a big table. I need to do some work and I knew they would have one.

And I popped in there, I said, this is pretty nice. Starbucks does a, for as corporate ties and cookie cutter as those places are, they do keep them pretty comfy.

It's funny. It's funny hearing you say that in New York too because I always thought Starbucks was fancy because we didn't have them in New Hampshire. So much New Hampshire out of me today.

Damn. And knock it off. They ought to be kicking me some bucks. But we, and then like, I spent enough time in L.A. And I go back home and I see, oh, Starbucks has infiltrated New Hampshire. And it, and it's like,

so to me, it was like kind of the fancy chain for a while. And then you talk to people from New York and they sort of look down their nose at Starbucks or I feel like I saw even an S&L sketch on Starbucks. And it was like, I don't think any big city is like, but it's all fucked up. But like, but like, Starbucks is being like an armpit for like the, the, the, the cream and sugar stations all fucked up and the bathroom's all fucked up and it's just like a pit. And I was like, no, no, Starbucks is nice. You don't get it. But maybe that was just a New York impression.

No, I do think there's like a swap that happens country versus city where growing up in the Hudson Valley, Catskills rural area in upstate New York, when we got like a Panera, everyone was lined up around the block. Right, right. And like here in L.A. you would make fun of Panera. And it's just funny that like chains seem fancy if you're surrounded by independent businesses. And then if you're in a city surrounded by chains, then independent businesses seem cool. Huh. That's weird. Damn.

We, uh, we were talking about the Starbucks logo on our last tour, how like strange. Like, you see that logo almost every single day for the last, you know, 20 years. It's a lady. And like, she's got like, it looks like your, it's a mermaid. Fins are up there. But like, it's a mermaid. But then the, how come the fin seems split down the middle? middle and like curled around the sides of her head.

This is like some fucked up. Oh, it's a mermaid. No mermaid you've ever heard of her seen before, but trust us. Fuck it. She's been prepared for by a chef, it seems. She's been flayed. She's been coffatized. They got to redo that mermaid.

Yeah, they got to redo that mermaid. It's about time. Well, here we, here we are. And would you change anything about the drink? Because I'm still having a great time with it. I'm happy that it's, as far as coffee and booze goes, the classic to me was maybe coffee with a little bailey's in there. You know?

Oh, an Irish, that's what I meant to say too. And I was saying that a lot of countries have a type of Red Bull vodka. That's the one I went. And there's like good-ass Irish coffee that we've made, you know, with like the thick top and the thick cream top. So between that, which. which is just a little booze, and then the espresso martini,

which is kind of like diesel-powered. This sits right in between. This one's sitting pretty. Yes. Yes. My round two, I'm going to add a little of my cream. I bought vanilla cream.

Different brand. I'm going to add some of my thick, thick, extra thick chobani oatmeal. So you guys are trying to get, trying to thicken it up. I wanted to fall out of my rocks glass like a like a Cranberry out of a can. Cranberry jelly out of a can. It's funny with coffee drinks that because I'm right now I'm trying to monitor like today.

Just thinking like how many rounds of this can I drink if not have too much coffee? It's funny that thing of like I've talked about with THC. I feel like real like potheads will just be like tetrahydro carbon. What's that? I tried to say what THC was. Tetrahydra cannabinol. Cannabinoid? Cannabinoid? Oh, God. Tetrahydra cannabinol. Yeah.

We are the cannabinoids. Take us to your dealer. That's good, Mike. Save that for the stage. That's good. I say stop that. That's so good that you need to hold on to it. Stop that. No, that's good. This is why this podcast will never work. We have two, I say something you have two opposing forces. That's why it works so. So well.

Aha. Thank you. Third best comedy podcast in the world. Well, it's funny that I think that with THC, I'm like, I'm a weed wimp, yet I want to know that,

so I want to know the number. I'm like, is that, I'll eat a 2.5. Okay, maybe I'll eat a 5. I won't eat a 10 or whatever. Then when you're talking to a pot head,

they're like, I don't like gummies, you don't like that all. They're like, I just want to like smoke throughout the day and just enjoy it and not think about it. But with, with caffeine,

it is weird that I'm like, I do want to know. I've been programmed to let myself have a coffee in the morning. And if I need it, one in the afternoon. If I'm working a job, job in office, it's usually two in the morning, one in the afternoon. But I can't just like freely be sipping this shit all day. You know, like what if I give myself a fucking heart attack? Yeah, it's just jitters you out.

I like, I can drink almost any amount of like iced coffee. But the dawn of cold brew, oh, remember Stamptown? Yeah. Stump Town or Stump Town. Stamped Town is the clown. That's the clown stuff. I'm not talking to clown. That is too close for a guy like me who's too dumb.

Stump Town when we were shooting the show had came out with these like bottles of cold brew. And if I drank one of those, I would lose the ability to read. Yeah. Like, oh yeah, yeah. My eyes would jitter and bounce around so much. I was like, this is affecting me like cognitively. But versus like the common man's iced coffee that I can kind of. kind of do. I can sip on that all day. Yeah, they're very different. It's funny that how many coffee

shops act like, they'll be like, they'll be like, yeah, yeah, cold bread. I'm like, these are different beverages, ma'am. And she's like, wow, I learned something today about coffee from you, Tim. Wow, and I thought you were just an expert on cocktails alone, not coffee. I thought you're just the editor and Chief of Booze News. Oh, what's the nitro at Starbucks? Is that mean it's got, booze in it? That's a way of processing because mine says nitro cold brew. Oh, nitro like the little nitro things in a Guinness type like that. Yeah, and I think even like, isn't there like a Pepsi tried a

nitro that has a widget in there also? I'm guessing it's got nitrogen in it that makes it froth up in a way. Ooh, a little bubbly, Jeffie, boy. What do you think? Okay. What do you think, Javi? That's fine. That's fine. Yes, but what do you? you think? It is. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a nitrogen infused with a widget, lower carbonation

tiny bubbles in a silky, frothy foam head. That's what Pepsi says about its nitro. Widget is a word that people will use in a way that I don't understand. I like stamp down and stump town. I remember it from Boddington's ale, but remember Boddington's with the, the bee on it? They had the widget. And when you say in that case, I kind of picture because there's like a little small thing that performs a task, so it's a widget, but sometimes, you know, like, you'll be talking to a guy who's like, it's a widget. And you're like, what? And it means like theoretically something's a widget. I'm like, what are you talking about? Oh, that's like a business thing. Like, you sell widgets. And it's like it just, it's like a variable for like you sell whatever.

Right. But wait, you like, you say like, you mean you sell a physical thing? Yeah, it's like a physical thing. Like a catch all. Like a widget. Yeah. But when they say that, I'm like, could you just say thing? I'm all on board. I've known this word thing my whole life. Now I've got to learn widget because now you're telling me you sell something I'm picturing. Because now you got to delete. The little guys inside of the Buntington's game. Oh yeah. Yeah, that's true. A widget can't mean everything and then also one very specific thing. That's super specific botankins. That's fucked up. What about widget the World Watcher? You remember him? No. What about a Saturday morning cartoon.

Widget the World Watcher. Maybe let's put that at the end that theme song. Widget the World Watch. That's your own weird. fucking, what about widget to eWalk? This was on ABC every Saturday morning. This is weird. Is not a prominent Ewok named widget? Wicked.

Wicked. Fuck. Now isn't a prominent piece of the croquet game also named Wicked, Jeff? I don't know. You don't know. Hell have I been sending you all those croquet memes for him.

Speaking of Wicitt, we do speak of him. What's his name? name. He's he's he's also Willow. Oh, yes. The actor. Isn't it funny that Warwick Davis played Wicked and Willow? Yes. Yeah, that Warwick is a real like old

that's an old fantasy type name. Willow's fantastic. Man, I didn't see Willow until recently. Willow's fucking awesome. Man, I didn't see Willow until recently. Willow was huge in my, in my home. I didn't realize that it was not a hit. It was sort of a middling bomb.

Is the bad guy in Willow? Does he have like a skull face, a skull mask or something? Oh, yeah. That's Skeletor. There is Skeletor. I am familiar with Skeletor. I think I wanted to be mad Mardigan, and I think I had feelings for his love interest of that film. Oh, yeah.

Warwick played widget and Willow is the new. Pabst is having Schlits make Bush. Bush is making slits for Paps. And hey, don't forget. Gru and Grogu are the gook. That's true. Get those t-shirts at sloppyboys.com. You can't, Mike.

You can't. We've been sued over them. Oh, that's right. That's right. Well, forget about that one. We've got plenty of other designs for you in all the sizes you need. Wait, wait, before we go to break again, have you seen the Ewox movies? I'm aware of them.

I have not seen them. Long time ago. You did? Are they animated or not? They're live action? I saw the live action ones, but I wouldn't be surprised. I think there's a cartoon. A carcune?

Yeah, there's a tune as well. But that's so funny that like there are Star Wars spin-off movies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Of the Teddy Bears from the third movie. There's two movies. Nobody's seen him. That's a weird thing that when we did prequel month here in the pot here on the show, I was reading a lot about George Lucas and it was funny that we're, I had had this misconception

of like, yeah, what did he do for all those years between? and it's like, oh, he was, there was like a whole franchise of shit. During Indiana Jones, he's also making these EWalk movies. But the thing, the Wikipedia pages for the EWalk movies say that they're very much like divorce parables, like George Lucas was getting divorced and putting all of his feelings into the screenplay for the EWalk films. Odd. You can tell because if you pay close attention, Wicked leaves his wife, Mrs. Wicket. and goes off and makes a trilogy of movies.

Well, that'd be fun to do sometime. We watch a Ewak film. That might be one of your, that might be something good for your own time. No, I'm kidding. It would be fun to rewatch those for me because it would be one of those things where I'm like, oh my God, I remember all this.

I do remember the bad guy in one of them, the big monster they fight is like this huge, like, hairy guy in a suit like a almost looks like a gorilla suit. Chubaka. But he's huge. Kind of Chubbacke-esque. I've never seen the Star Wars

Life Day Christmas special. Yeah, people make fun of it. Is that a, is that? They worked hard on that. Is that animated? Both. It's like a special. It's like,

yeah, I don't know. I would watch. But here on the pod. We have plans to possibly rev up for Tolkien November. Tolkien November. Are we going to read Tolkien or watch Tolkien? Or on the blowout, Patreon.com slash the sloppy.

It's not here on the main show. Do something like that for the better show. Yeah, that would be fun to do on the better show. Yeah, that's the place for it. Well, let's save that all for the better show. For now, let's just try and get through the main show. And we'll take a little break. Sucks.

And when we come back, we'll have a round two of these drinks. We're going to take a sip of those. And then we're going to give it our harsh, harsh but fair adjudication. Folks, more sloppy boys coming up after this. Back with round two, what did you guys do? Did it work out? Did you thicken? Round two, the thickening?

Yeah, but now it's just a big white milky drink. That looks nasty. I put a big, a big thick, you put a dollop. Ice cube in there too. And the taste? Out of sight, my man. That's good. I thickened not as white as Mike.

Well, on camera here it looks pretty white, but it's a very, very creamy chobani oat milk. And I diluted what I had there. And this is delicious. This is, to me, less sweet so it tastes better. So I can actually taste all the shit. This is unbelievable. You got to be in the mood for a cream bomb, though.

Yeah, it makes it a little less sweet, which is nice. This is like a white Russian gun. Ooh, Jeff, that's a nice. Look at that. And as for me, here's what I did, right? I did it exactly the same. Because I like, the cold brew is strong and bitter. And it balances fine for me.

So I didn't tweak, I didn't tweak the ingredients so much. But what I did do is I shook on ice and poured onto fresh ice. Because those old, I don't like, I don't like dumping the cubes from the shaker. Yeah, yeah. To me, those cubes are used up, blown out, ran through, not interested. You shake them up, use them up, leave them. Jeff, you know, just because cubes have a past doesn't mean that they can't have a future.

Tim, they're past their prime. Oh, Jeff. Jeff, next time, put those used cubes back in your freezer, then save them for me. I'll come get them from you. I'll rescue them. I foster them here. Tim, you're going to get sloppy seconds on those cubes. I'm sort of the Leo DiCaprio of ice cubes.

Sloppy seconds, though. Sloppy seconds is a thing that when you're 13, you hear a lot about. You hear way too much about it. It will not be a part of your life. It doesn't. It will not come across your disc. But the idea that the number of times I heard that like,

dude, sleepy. Also, you got to realize, 99.99% of sex on earth. is sloppy seconds. Man, I just thought of another funny thing like that. I can't remember. But yes, like little kids talking about adult things as if they know what, as if they've ever been on a date before, like, oh, sloppy seconds, what an awful thing.

Also, it's so funny when you're a kid when like you think you're talking about sex stuff in front of your parents that, or dirty stuff in front of your parents that they don't understand. Like, your parents don't know what 69 means. Right, right. Oh my God. Well, to take it back to the drinking away from this sort of improper talk, we don't know. 60-nighting your parents. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We don't really indulge that sort of stuff here on the pod. Good. I shook this up. I shook it so hard. And I poured it on those fresh cubes. And now it's got a little separation. Yeah, that looks good. But when it first hit that glass, it was like the tiny bubbles. It was like, you know, it had a different. consistency. And I made sure to take one of those sips, a fresh sip straight out the shaker. You know, as you're waiting for some of your slower co-hosts to sort of sit down,

getting ready, that's when the drink is at its best, folks, fresh out the shaker, that thing's foaming up. Jeff, that's really good making it relatable for our listeners who all probably have podcasts with a couple of slow poke hosts. Stranglers, they got time to kill. Hey, sometimes I'm the straggler, but not today, not this day. Today I took straggler crown. Jeff, yours looks almost Pueesto the way it's... It does look almost Puez. I forgot... Ah, I forgot Puesta, but also I like to shake on ice and pour on fresh ice.

You forgot Puesta, but you made it to Puesta after all. P-S-O-W? P-U-E-S-T-O. Maybe it's P-E-S-O-E. And I probably have learned that word before and forgotten it now. Mike, you've been so hardcore on that duo lingo. I've been because it's because I have a long streak that I don't want to break it. But it's still like I am still very, very far away from understanding.

You were saying, didn't you say you have a long streak elsewhere? If you're referring to the front of my underpants, you're wrong. It's the back. Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Yeah. A lot of people get that wrong. I'm not shitting out of my dickhole.

You're complaining to us the you have a long streak. Look at the longest streak back there. What the hell? All right. Final thoughts. I mean, we kind of all know how this is going to go, but might kick us off. This is, this is order again. This is, this is fun.

It's fun to know different coffee drink, too, than just white Russian. Oh, Mike, I thought you were, I thought you were boss and ass for a second. Yeah, espresso martini or, boy, I guess white Russian doesn't have. It's got a clue. It has a taste coffee. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this is fun to have a new thing in that world.

I like to be part of that world. Yeah, I also like to be part of that world. I think that it's delicious. It's a little sweet for my taste, but it's a delicious drink. It's nice to have another option other than the espresso martini. But it's not yet hitting on the thing that I need. Like, I would say this is sort of a lateral move as far as the sweetness and the mood you've got to be in for an espresso martini. Like there's a lot of kalua in an espresso martini.

there's a lot of liquor 43 in this. Yeah. By the way, movie 43, I feel like has been unfairly, like, it's a stupid movie, but we were, we didn't know what we had back then that there was like a wacky, funny, broad sketch comedy movie and we could make fun of the fact that it was too broad. And now they're like, we're so lucky to get one or two comedies a year at all now. That's true. That's true. Yeah.

But I remember thinking like, well, why don't have Chris Pratt and Hugh Jackman and like and Kate Winslet do your wacky movie like there's way better qualified people to be doing I would prefer sketch comedians but uh I agree with that but just the idea that I think it was treated as like Hugh Jackman has like a scrotum of balls hanging from his chin and people are acting like he didn't know that was silly they're like that's embarrassing and it's like he's being cool and he's doing he's doing something really stupid anyway um I think that this drink is good order again, but not yet like, oh, that's what I've been praying for, which is a crushable coffee cocktail. Oh. I think, I think crushable and coffee is tough to crush, especially with the

sweetness, but also with the milk, I think, I think if I'm going to do these from now on, I'm going to add the half half. It's very good. But it all just gives you that sort of like thick mouth feel. It's tough to drink more than one of these. So far my move is to just, I'll get in a, sometimes you get an espresso martini on the rocks. And then that way I can stir it up, you a little melty and then I can go go. Maybe maybe if you're looking for a coffee thing that's crushable, you don't actually want coffee or espresso in there. You just want like a

coffee flavor to bless it. Yes, yes, yes. You know? Yeah, but I want that fiend. Caffeine. Yeah, but then you're not going to have three, okay? Tim, that's the tradeoff. He's a fiend, a caffeine. Now, Jeff, what about your final words? You're being awful. I also want

to be part of that word. See, see, here's the thing, folks. This is an under the sea drink. This is an under sea drink. Because it makes you want to be part of that world. This is perfectly in between to me and espresso martini, which, you know, you got to be careful. You got to be careful around an espresso martini.

And then also, I also don't, I also don't want a big hot coffee with Bailey's in it or a big hot. I never want that. And so this is kind of the sweet spot for me. Is it perfect? No, but Tim, we don't live in a perfect world, okay? So true. I mean, we have corporations.

what they're doing to this country. Yep. Oh, I actually have some problems with how Mom Donnie does it. Like, shut the fuck up. He's doing good. That's the corporation saying that about a socialist mayor. I have a shot up. Billionaires.

Mr. Mum, Donnie, can I pay no taxes? Can I pay no debt? Folks, it's an order again. I don't think it's a Stone Cold classic, but like I said, maybe best use of coffee and a cocktail. Best use of coffee in a cup, I say. That's our show. Follow us on social media at the sloppy boys

where we release these recipes ahead of time. And if you can't get enough boys, we talked about it's Patreon.com slash the sloppy boys. Now, me, I've never paid for a podcast in my life and I'm not about to start now. But if I was one of you guys listening to the main feed all the time, it's part of your week,

you don't know what you're missing, man. We do it too. Cool shit. We do it for you, man. It's fucking fun over there. We're talking about the first strokes album. We're talking about our favorite emoji. We're playing recordings of Jeff getting in a fight with a bartender in Chicago.

It's the place to be. You got a drop in. We're happier over there. I'm happy. It's a whole different vibe with the three of us. You can let your hair down. You can hear the smiles as we're talking. Hi, welcome to the show.

Hey, everybody. It's like, so we sound like Kanye with a John. We love you, folks. Thanks for listening. See you next week. See you next time.
