Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton along with Mike Hanford. Hello Jeff, Tim, and all listening. And Tim Kalpakis. What is up, Summer Edition? Oh, we're your hosts, the Sloppy Boys. Summer's here. Can you believe it?

A different edition of what is up? Yeah, that's the summer edition. Limited edition. Guys, can you believe the weather's getting warmer? And this coming Thursday, we're going to be doing a summer kickoff live stream.

Oh, yeah. Summer doesn't start officially until we have kicked it off live on the internet. And that's sort of like an episode of our show, but it'll be live with engagement from you, the listener, in the Twitch chat. It's kind of interactive. So if you want to customize your own experience, you can turn the brightness up or down on your computer monitor, you know? If it's a little too quiet, you can crank it up. If you don't think it's funny, you can watch something else. Like, you know, for example, Stephen Colbert.

Check out our socials, at The Sloppy Boys, for more info on that upcoming live stream and also other fun things. That's right. Oh, yeah, we're having fun on the socials. It's just fun to connect. Yeah. We're having fun with our socials as in our social security numbers too.

We've been kind of throwing those things around. Yeah. Oh yeah. Sure. Yeah. Check those out too. Sometimes I'll bring my social security card to the card to the bank and slap it on the windows and be like, does that do anything for you?

Yeah. And they're like, yeah, I'm getting off on it, man. What do you think of that? We should do a blowout, a deep dive into our social security numbers. Yeah. Best social. Yeah. I think how many digits is a seven? I think

digits is that thing? I'm going to say mine out loud but jeff bleep every one of these yep nine nine numbers now why can't you why can't you tell your social security number to anyone identity theft who wouldn't want to be me that's true it's funny tim i'm 001 i start with 001 and i think it's because it's like a new hampshire thing i wonder if you're in the top if you're in the top right of the country the colonies if you start with like an 001 and then as you move west you start with some later digits in your well you know new hampshire was the first state to ratify the Constitution, and that's why you get to have the primaries before everybody else.

So maybe you also have that nice choice social security number. Speaking of choice numbers, mine is 420-420-puff-puff-pass. Oh, no. That doesn't say puff-puff-pass. No, it's emojis. Oh, yeah.

It's two cigarette emojis and then that sort of recycling symbol. Oh, yeah. For pass. Yeah. Re-use. Pass it all around. Yeah, shotgun. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it is getting hot, by the way, T. I'm glad you mentioned that because I don't know how much longer I'll be able to do this pod without air conditioning. We could use a little room tone in this show. You know, we're talking about a drink and in the back of your ear, Back in October, I tried I couldn't put the air conditioning on and I was so hot

my shirt was off. I was doing this podcast shirtless. That was fun. Looking back. Looking back. And now this podcast shirtless. That was fun. Looking back. And now I am shirt full. Let's get into some bip bip bip bip. Hit it! ...

... ...... Wow. Whoa. Was that greasy little weasel? Sounded like it. It sounded like it. It sounded like I was getting a root canal and i had our song smashing the plates cranked yes well that was sent to us by big cat music squad

but they said that it was actually a recording of satan covering our song smashing the plates wow and they warned us that that track is haunted uh cursed okay we should have had a warning so that stinks i feel bad for all the listeners that just had to get a spell placed upon them sorry folks all right today's booze news i got two cool pieces of regional booze news for you tim nice and i did some i was out on the pounding the pavement on these um topic number one mayor of east town who's watching you've watched never even heard of it what are you talking about what the hell i've heard of that what is it you've seen i've heard heard um it is the hbo series starring kate winslet it's it's sort of like a true detective without the hocus pocus, but it's a small

town detective-y show. What if I like the hocus pocus? Well, then it's not the show for you. She, but I've been I just caught, it's news to me because I caught up. There's two episodes left in the season as we stand right now, but I just

binged them. Nice. And it's set in rural Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia. So you know everyone's doing the Bam Margera accent. Yeah, love it. Saying, Elko. No. But here, what's funny, I was watching.

So rural Pennsylvania, there's a lot of drinking in the show there's two prominent drinks guess what they are miller light is it a beer are they alcoholic they're beers yes fuck that they're both beers mjd that's one for sure okay so i hit play on the show thinking i hope i see some yinglings in this show and and i got them oh there's yinglings all over the place but i was gonna guess yingling but i didn't want to guess wrong and get roasted online we wouldn't roast you in booze news it's an open forum but here's the thing a lot of side characters are drinking yingling but i didn't want to guess wrong and get roasted online we wouldn't roast you in booze news it's an open forum but here's the thing a lot of side characters are drinking yingling and the kind of uh labels are turned away but mayor herself kate winslet she is always always drinking rolling rock and rolling rock is more featured than Yingling.

Interesting. Did you guys know that that's a Pennsylvania thing? I did know Rolling Rock was Pennsylvania, but I associate Yingling more with Philly. Me too. Philadelphia. We got to get Bam Margera on the show to fill us in about this and maybe do some skateboard tricks.

That is on our to-do list. We know. We got to check it off. So I was confused by it, and I looked it up. And here's the thing. Yingling is beloved in Pennsylvania. Rolling Rock was. The Latrobe Brewing Company was in Pennsylvania.

But in 2005 or something, it moved to Newark, New Jersey. And so I was like, why is she drinking this? Is it that she's, is she loyal? Is she a stubborn character that used to drink this beer? So she sticks to it. Or is it just product placement? Or a few years ago, it came out that Dick Yingling was a big Trumper and they had a lot of backlash. Right.

And I was like, oh, is Mayor a Democrat or something like that? a Democrat or something like that. And, and then Dick Yingling did a funny thing where he like stepped back from the company and was like, Hey, my five lesbian daughters run the company now. So we're liberal. I remember that. But so I went looking around online and I found like an eater article that was asking all the same questions I asked. And then I found a ringer article that's that posits that the other women in the show drink Rolling Rock too. So maybe they're hinting that the women in Easttown have to band together against the men who drink Yingling. And maybe it's foreshadowing some alliances or something like that. I just don't know yet. But if you're a slophead and you live in Delaware County,

that I just don't know yet. But if you're a slob head and you live in Delaware County, give us a ring on our phone and let us know if you think mayor should be drinking yingling or if this ring is true for you. Oh, nice. I like these hidden connections. Yeah. The details there's,

Oh, Oh, Oh, the devil's in the detail. Oh, two mentions of the devil in this episode. Don't make it six. Is this episode six, six, six. Are we up there yet in this episode. Don't make it six. Is this episode 666?

Is it growing up there yet? No, it's 31, I think. Hey, Rolling Rock, great label. Yeah, good label. See, they don't print it out on paper. No, they hand paint it on every bottle. Take a hint, all you other bottle manufacturers. You get all the top artisans from the East Coast design school.

Put a little effort. Yeah, so that's an HBO show. You know what I'm looking forward to, HBO-wise? Succession coming back. Oh, yeah, baby. Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring. Ooh, that's a fun one.

What do they drink on that show? Champagne, I guess, huh? Yeah, just high-priced whiskey, I guess. Oh, wait. Brian Cox must drink scotch. That would make sense. Oh, wait. Brian Cox must drink scotch. That would make sense. Oh, yeah. He's probably doing.

What's the highest Johnny Walker? No, that was on True Detective. Oh, yeah. They gave him a bottle of blue Johnny Walker or something like that. That was Lone Star, right? It was the big one where he was holding a can of Pops. When he was doing his deposition, he went through a bunch of tall boys. All right, all right. All right.

All right. Mike. Okay. And here's my other regional drinking discovery. Duddy, on last week's show. Yes. You were, we were talking about the grasshopper. And then later on, you told us about these ice cream grasshoppers.

And you casually mentioned that they sprung out of the Wisconsin supper clubs. And I said, oh yeah, sure. Sure. The Wisconsin. Well, I don't know if they sprang out, but that's, they blew up there because of the thriving dairy industry. The thriving dairy industry. Well, I nodded and I said, oh yeah, yeah. But I didn't know what the hell you were talking about. And then afterwards I was looking at these pictures of these giant ice, boozy ice creams you have there. And it turns out the Wisconsin supper clubs are a whole thing. Had you heard of them before?

No, I've heard the phrase at Wisconsin supper club. I just nodded and I was like, yes, just like my beloved New Hampshire supper club. Yeah. When you're cooking, it is a suffer club. Come on, man. Give me this one. Yeah, when you're cooking, it is a suffer club. Mike. Come on, man. Give it to me. Give me this one.

Okay. Okay. Just this one. All right. So I was looking at these pictures and I was like, what's the deal with these supper clubs? And then I watched a PBS special about them. It's a whole thing. Basically. It's a whole thing, Gary.

Benedetti's Supper Club, Buckhorn's Supper Club. There are all these supper clubs. There are these destination restaurants you go to that are like, you sit for many hours and you eat with your family. It's kind of like a steakhouse and it has a big bar and there's live music going on. It sounds like a country club, but more focused around food than sport. Yes.

It's a high calorie country club and they start your meal off with a, a relish tray, like a little bucket with a carrot in it and like a radish. And I couldn't really tell you don't have to, I don't know why it's club because you don't have to be a member or anything like that. But, uh,

you eat steaks and, and you have fried fish. And when they showed the fried fish, I was like, oh, in Joe Pera Talks With You, he goes out for a fish fry with his grandmother, and it's one of these supper clubs. But then in my research, this drink kept coming up. The Brandy Old Fashioned is the official drink of the wisconsin supper club and a little light went off and i said we've had a lot of our patreon subscribers requesting this drink the brandy old-fashioned so i messaged one of them allison one of our subscribers who's from uh wisconsin i said what's the deal with the supper clubs and she's like oh it's great and you could get a brandy old-fashioned sweet or a brandy old-fashioned

sour whether you want sour mix or sprite in there but it's a beloved staple of supper clubs and we got to do this drink on the show yeah we haven't done it in just a regular old-fashioned yet have we no not yet well we should do a regular old-fashioned. Have we? No, not yet. Uh, well, we should do a regular old fashioned and that episode will bomb. And then the following week we'll say, well, we have a brand new old fashioned. Yes. Can you go to a supper club as just like a single dude?

Or do you need to have like a big three generation family go into the supper club for the day? I think you can go as a single dude, but they say like, you're not allowed to be horny. Hmm. Hmm. They don't want you sniffing around the other families

looking for daughters of age do you guys did you ever did you call dinner supper grown up never never no me neither i would i would hear other families do it and i'd be like what the hell are you talking about supper to me i think of like a casserole for some reason like uh kind of like a raicho chai chief feels like a supper well so maybe you'd love supper maybe I don't know but the the words the word is strange supper it's strange well hey Midwest slop ads let us know what the good supper club is and when we go on tour we want to go eat some steaks and have some brandy old fashioned sweets. And if bachelors are welcome.

Yeah. USA bachelors welcome. Or the bachelor. Like if the main guy from that TV show showed up, is he allowed to eat there? He could bring all the contestants. Jake? Wait, did you know his name? Jake.

What the hell is his name? Jeff that we worked with once? Oh, this was fucking 10 years ago. Jake Pavelka. Jake Pavelka. 10 seasons ago. He's an old man now. I got a little booze news myself.

It's more of a review kind of a thing. And it's not, don't worry, we're not doing a movie review. He's not coming back. Is this Zuby Condorino? I can't get Zuby Condorino on the phone anymore. He blew up from his appearance on this podcast. He's not answering. He doesn't answer your calls.

I was recently, yesterday, with a friend of the pod and I can name the friend of the pod, Neal Campbell. Tony Soprano. Oh, geez. Wouldn't that be something? We'll get into that later. I'm sure he'll show up later.

Neil Campbell and I went to the Mets game, and we wandered on ourselves over to the Jim Beam bourbon bar. They got a little Jim Beam sponsored bourbon bar. Nice. And we got some shots going, and they had some cocktails and things all right and we got ourselves a shot of jim beam is it beam or bean beam m yeah that's what i thought then i was like but the word bean is bean we got ourselves a shot of jim beam fire and i'm thinking of myself here we go what is this and I mean it's not as

good as fireball but essentially the same thing you cannot taste the drop of liquor and at all but I do like fireball better more of a spice to the fireball yeah then we got into we did a shot of Jim Beam vanilla and that was great as well it was just candy basically but could, you could taste the whiskey, but also the vanilla was right there. So that's my mini review on those two. Yeah, that's funny. I feel like I see a ton of variations of Jack Daniels, not a ton of Jim Beam.

Well, you got to get to the bourbon bar over at Citi Field. You'll see a baseball game. Yeah. And you know, the Mets won 7-1. So that's fun. This just gave me an idea for a comedy character, Mr. Beam. You know, he's like a British

guy. And he can't pack his suitcase, right? He's trying to pack his whiskey and he has to pour some of the whiskey out. You know, it's funny. People sometimes say, oh, why don't you have guests on the show? Well, we have had Mr. Bean on the show, and he just didn't say anything,

so we didn't promote it at all. Yeah, and after that, we had Silent Bob on. And Teller. Fucking Charlie Chaplin, okay? Oh, I wish we had Chaplin on. He would just make me laugh and laugh. The little tramp. I'm more of a Keaton guy.

Who ended up being a little scamp. That's true in the end, yeah. All right, we're wrapping it up. Wrap it. Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot. Okay, who's got the drink? I don't have it. I got it today, my friend.

Today, today, we are talking about a drink I've heard about a lot. It's one of those ones that just sounds like a cocktail I've never actually had, called the Whiskey Sour. You have had? Yes. I've not had. Tim had. Jeff no had. This is a simple, you know, pretty simple backstory on this one. The recipe itself

was first written down in 1862 by the Jerry Thomas guide, you know, like the bartender's guide. Oh, yeah. 1862, a long time ago. And now you two will like the backstory here. What is your, what would you say your favorite holiday is? Your favorite

holiday is? Christmas. Halloween. National Talk Like a Pirate Day, September 19th. Arr, matey. Well, you'll like this background. So the whiskey sour originated way back when, even before 1862, when people were sailing from Europe to America and back again, and pirates were all over the place. A lot of people would get scurvy on these ships because of lack of certain nutritional needs and they would put limes and lemons in the water. Well, the water wasn't very good so they would supplement water with liquor. Oh, nice. Like they would take, it was rum at this time usually, but they would take

that liquor and pour water into that. So kind ofing out both uh and put the lemons and limes in that so that was the initial like whiskey sour and then the sailors brought it to shore and everyone loved it wow they put gin and brandy in it and then eventually i'm trying to read here eventually oh so easier to obtain whiskey and it's sort of jerry th Thomas ultimately refined and published his imbibement codifying the sour into black and white. Oh. I don't know what that means. Does that just mean like he committed it to record? Yeah. Oh, I get black

and white. The page, the page. Pen and ink. Oh, he inked it. The page. Perfect. You don't get any more old and classic than that, than this drink. We talked about the Jerry Thomas guide in our first episode about the Tom Collins, and this predates that drink.

I think it's like the first cocktail because there were punches and there were grogs, but the idea of like a single serving cocktail is this. Yeah. I have this written down. Some historians believe that the sour category is a scaled-down version of the basic punch. It has elements of one sour, two sweet, three strong, four weak. Wait, that's a thing that I should have memorized and I never do. The sour, sweet, strong, weak thing.

One sour, two sweet, three strong, four weak. Four weak? Yeah. That's just like soda water or something. Oh, it's like the Beatles song. Four days a week. Kidding, kidding, kidding. That's a thing that I've noticed as we've mixed up these drinks

and as I sort of, you know, more freestyle the round three and round four, I've developed a taste for, ooh, this needs a little more lemon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ooh, this needs a little more. And like about how a lot of these things really are about balancing different flavors. The king of them all is the Trinidad Sour, where you're adding in these things

where you're like, these taste insane on their own. But in the balance, then you got yourself a nice drink. Yes. Harmony is found in that balance. Harmony. Oh, Harmony Corinne. The cool thing about this drink too is like, this could be a learning moment for us

because if you understand this cocktail, a lot of times on this show, we're like, you know, that has these ingredients and those have those ingredients, but we're just not learning anything. We're just firing off. But the whiskey sour, right? It's like the idea of a liquor,

a sweet thing and a citrus.'s the daiquiri you know if it's rum it's a and lime it's a daiquiri if it's gin and lime it's a gimlet if it's tequila and triple sec it's a margarita even like a simple mai tai cuba libre so it's like the building block of all these other drinks and And if you want to improvise, you could say like, as long as I have a sweet thing, a liquor, and a citrus, I'm in business. I have sweet thing. Okay, here's how this drink goes. Thank you. This is the whiskey sour. We're mixing in one and a half ounces bourbon whiskey.

Great. One ounce lemon juice. Fresh. That's a lot. Half ounce sugar syrup, which I came to think of as simple syrup. Simple syrup. Yeah. And this is the new one.

This is the one that makes people go, you got to repeat that for me. Dash of egg white. Okay. Yeah, finally. You know, a lot of these cocktails, you can get them, you can make them, but you don't see a lot with the egg white. Yeah. And as I said, it's optional, and I can get into what that all means.

Optional, but if used, shake a little harder to foam up that egg white. Okay. Egg white. Now, pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well. Strain into cobbler glass. If served on the rock, strain ingredients into old-fashioned glass filled with ice, garnish with half an orange slice

and a maraschino chetti, which I do not have. Question for you. What is a dash of egg white? Yeah, undashable. Are we talking just a little bit of a blob? Yeah, you know how to get an egg white where you crack it in half and you keep passing the yolk back and forth. The back and forth thing, yeah. Of course.

I think the dash just ends up being the stuff stuff that falls out the whole white that's a lot no i i think it's less i mean it's undashable it's it's like an ooze you don't dash it it's just right now i'm like looking at a bunch of like random recipes it looks like everyone kind of just does a tablespoon okay which is like a half ounce. So maybe that's a dash, but it's not like it's bitters or Worcestershire or something where you can just be like. It's literally drops. Yeah. I've had this drink a bunch and I love it.

I've only had it with the egg whites once or twice and it makes it real fancy. But you know what I think of these days? Anytime someone says whiskey sour is Leo in Once once upon a time in hollywood right oh they go to musso and frank to have the meeting with al pacino and everybody talks about how brad has the bloody mary with the big celery stock but leo's got a little teeny cobbler glass or a little uh old fashion glass i re-watched the movie recently and he then makes himself when he's getting drunk and memorizing his lines yeah you see he's at his bar and he cracks eggs then he gets drunk in his pool and then the next day the next day he gets

mad at himself he's like he had seven whiskey yeah seven whiskey that scene is so funny the jump cuts of him being like yeah eight whiskey sours you couldn't is so funny. The jump cuts of him being like, yeah, I ate whiskey sours. You couldn't have three or four? And then he's like, you're never drinking again. And then he takes a sip from his flask and he's like, oh, and he gets mad and he throws it. And then he's like, I'm going to blow your fucking head off. If you have one more drink. It's insane.

So funny. So my big post vax, once I had the antibodies, my first big indoor dining experience, I went to Musso and Frank because they just reopened. And I said, normally I would have a martini,

but I said, give me that Leo whiskey sour. Yeah. And it looked totally different than the one in the movie because that was his prop department. But I got to say, they did put the egg in

and it was absolutely delicious. And I don't want to be able to do such a good job myself, but you'll be able guys do an egg tonight i'm doing egg tonight uh me too i was at a bar uh the other day and i heard somebody overheard somebody order a whiskey sour and i said oh maybe i'll ask this bartender to make me one and as i saw him doing it it was just whiskey and like a lemonade out of like a bottle sour mix sour mix which is i think how bars usually do it unless you're at more of a fancy bar yeah i think that fancy bartenders frown on the store-bought sour mix because it's fructose corn syrup and it's too

but a lot of i guess they'll mix it up you know it's like lemonade without the water. It's just like, yeah. But I think that egg white is a very, is crucial to make this a fun little thing. Yeah. The egg white, which I didn't, I was like, why does, why does this go in here? It's to like foam up the drink and like give it some, some like rich creaminess without putting a, like a milk product in like, Like for a white Russian or something.

It's more chickeny than cowy, I guess you could say. Yes, yes. So you're saying more buck buck buguck than moo moo moo. But anyway, Mike, when you were saying the method, did they do a dry shake where you shake it before you put the ice in or did they? Yeah, I found something about that, a dry shake or a reverse dry shake. And I'll just read what I found here. The dry shake is pretty

simple. Put all the ingredients except for ice in your shaker, cover tightly and shake like a mad man to incorporate the egg white and whip it into a nice froth. Then add ice for a second round of shaking to properly chill the drink. And then you just strain it into your glass. The reverse dry shake is similar, but provides for less dilution. You put all your ingredients, including ice, but excluding the egg white in your shaker and give it a classically vigorous cocktail shake. Then strain out the ice and add the egg white into the shaker, shaking vigorously to incorporate. Into the shaker, shaking vigorously to incorporate.

Pour your eggy cocktail into the cocktail glass and observe the tightly knit, smoothly eggy foam. I see. So all the foam will just be like more at the top in the reverse dry shake. I'm feeling too lazy for either of these. Yeah, I can't do that second one. I want to really mix that thing up. I'm going to do the first one where you do ingredients, shake it up ice shake it up pour it on the rocks um and this thing are you worried about salmonella at all like i was i wasn't really and then i read this thing

saying like wash your hands and wash the outside of the egg and don't like touch the outside of the egg. I don't even believe in COVID. Yeah. The tea? Oh no. My thing is like, it's very likely they'll get salmonella poisoning, but like, I just don't have a lot to live for.

And I'm honestly just tired of being around here. Doing all this. Just be careful. Pod every week. week another pod oh singapore sling get me out of here it says this thing says if you have if you're elderly and those with weak immune system should avoid the egg egg in the cocktail so you know be careful i don't want you to we don't want to lose any uh listen We don't qualify as elderly, do we? What? Oh, boy.

We're going on voices. This is just for the whiskey sour, this recipe. But some people call a whiskey sour with the egg a Boston sour. And some people just call it a whiskey sour. So, you know. Do they put a little bit of beans in there too? Come on. No, but a New York sour, you add a half ounce of red wine on the top as like a floater.

Oh, that's fun. That's a New York sour. Yeah. Yeah. It's fine. Maybe for my round two, I'll try that. I like floaters of anything because you have to drink through one layer to get to the depths below. Red wine? I don't know.

I mean, it could be a fine pinot. What about Merlot? Don't tell Paul Giamatti about Merlot. Yell at you. Oh, guys, speaking of Paul Giamatti, I thought I saw Stanley Tucci in the park the other day. It wasn't him. This guy was a dead ringer.

Well, shall we? Yes. Let's do it.

Well, guys, I completely fucked up. The yolk made it into the thing. Made it in. And then the whole thing fell onto a hot frying pan. And I made a fried egg and then i accidentally flipped it with

a little bit of bell pepper in there did your my egg white kept squirming away from me like i'd right i was trying to get it into a spoon into a tablespoon and i would have it like it was there and then when i tried to lift it it was all still one piece. I would go, no, no, no. There's like a membrane that wants to stay together. Yeah. It definitely all felt like it was like a, you know, a sentient being that was like, you can't take some of us.

You get to take the whole blob. It's all or nothing. I did the little yoke back and forth thing over the drink and thinking I'd be like, okay, I can measure it out. And it was just like all the white, just like,

it's in there now. I put it in a, okay, I can measure it out. And it was just like all the white, just like, it's in there now. I put it in a little glass and I was trying to fish out, Tim, like you were saying, like just a good amount. And I was able to coax out enough slime, but I didn't get the big blob. But now that slime, is that just like the mucus that's around the egg white?

Is that just water or is that egg white? I think it'scus that's around the egg white is that just water or is that egg white i think it's all white i think it's all white i don't know if you need the blob specifically well because i got the blob i tried to mash it all up with my spoon and thinking that unblob it yeah yeah but it's still it ended up being a heaping tablespoon and now i think my drink is too eggy because it looks like it looks like something an old dimey boxer would drink you know like when it's just like an egg egg shake well i think that's yeah mine looks the same though it's just kind of a big mine's yours is a little bit more translucent i can't see through mine it's like

nog yeah mine's like nog too and it also took a little while to coax out of the strainer i think that's a different the difference between like what was it the reverse dry is would make more of a foam on the top. I didn't do a reverse dry. I did the ingredient shake, then the ice shake, which I didn't like, by the way. Undoing a shaker with a bunch of egg in it

and then resealing it and shaking, my place is just covered in egg. Me too, because it built, the shaking with the egg, it like built up pressure inside and it popped the lid off my shaker and I got egg all over the place. Also listen, popped the the lid off my shaker and i got egg all over the place also listen normally some on the show you can hear pleasant clinks but listen

how weird these like frothy egg clinks are no good maybe it's all worth it when we take our first sips i hope it's just simply divine here Here we go. Here we go. Bombs away. Ooh. Mmm. Sharp. Very nice. Sharper than I thought. Yeah.

After all that foam. Yeah, IBA giving us- I was expecting a big old creamer. Because a lot of sour recipes will have an equal amount of- The simple syrup to citrus recipe will be equal. Right. But they had half as much simple syrup to citrus recipe will be equal but they had half as much sugar syrup as citrus so they wanted to zing us yeah and zing they did that's the that's why it's the sour i guess it's a zippy zippy egg it uh took me an extra minute to make it because i made my

own simple syrup this time i went to my bottle of store-bought simple syrup, empty. And so I quickly threw together like two ounces of sugar, two ounces of water and shook the hell out of it. It was a little runnier than your store-bought syrup, but it's doing me fine. That's a one-to-one. That's a one-to-one. Yeah, this is pretty good.

I am thinking like if this didn't have the egg in it, it would be the non-richness would be kind of too much. Yeah, it would be a very sour, sour. The egg at least turns it into something. I mean, this does feel like I'm at a

nice restaurant, like similar to even the Trinidad Sour when we sipped it we were like wow now this is like a a fancy thing at a place that knows what they're doing i kind of get that vibe off of this yeah i did i did ice and i maybe i wish i didn't do that i don't know i mean that's the beauty of a whiskey sour is the i think i fucked up here i think i made it too eggy and maybe even put too much lemon. But when you have all the sour ingredients in perfect harmony, you know,

when you sip it and you're like, I'm not getting strong whiskey. I'm not getting sour. I'm not getting sweet. I'm just getting a beverage. Yeah. I felt that when we took our gush cocktail class and we had the gimlet, I was like, oh man, this is great. Cause it's just, everything is perfectly balanced. Yeah. Like if you take a sip of your whiskey sour and the balance and the, and the harmony reminds you of the vocal breakdown in slop head. You've done something right. That's when, you know, everything is in perfect harmony. Now, Jeff, be honest. I've never asked you this. How much autotune did you have to use in that portion of that song? I don't know, but I want to know.

Were you shoveling as much autotune as you possibly could? Crank that lever to the left! We need more autotune, man! Your computer was steaming. I will say that Dancing on the Wind had way less

auto-tune in it, the whole album, than you'd think. We all did great. I'm very proud of us. All those lessons paid off. Album two, I was like, I was shocked how little auto-tune we used. But in that section, definitely. We're strong on pitch, is what you're saying.

I like that. This drink is, you know when you see movies and someone orders a whiskey sour and it's usually like a more of a gruff person? It makes sense drinking this drink that that's what's happening. Tough guy. Sharp little tinge.

I think of like a grizzled businessman or a grizzled lawyer or something. A grizzled businessman? Like a city boy? You know, an account executive. A grizzled lawyer or something. A grizzled businessman? Like a city boy? You know, an account executive. A grizzled Wall Street executive. Like a guy who chomps on a cigar.

I work at Vogue magazine. My trust fund's not doing so hot. I run the online content at Vogue. I got a lot of shares at GameStop. Hey, I'll tell you, the opposite of a grizzled tough guy is me who just ate my orange slice, and it was so delicious. This is the best orange I've ever had in my life. And it's just a GMO sun-kissed navel orange.

How did it get so good? Maybe I love genetically engineered foods. Yeah. Tim, I'm dealing with over here. I got a pint of strawberries the other day. I've never had strawberries so good from the store. I ate them down. Were they Driscoll?

What were they? I think they were Driscoll, but they came, they must've came from heaven itself. You know what I had the other day? If we're talking fruit, if this has become the fruit cast all of a sudden. Yeah, it has. I had a cotton candy grape. What?

You know those grapes that taste like cotton candy? No. Oh, I've seen those and I've never eaten one. So the story with them is, you know, they're always monkeying with nature. And they stumbled upon this thing like Silly Putty, and they were like, hey, these grapes taste like cotton candy. And now they sell them as cotton candy flavored grapes.

Wow. So I thought, when I first saw it, I was like, oh, they can just make a grape taste like whatever they want, and they picked cotton candy? No, no, no. This is just some freak thing. And they said, hey. Yeah, they named it after the fact. It was like, oh, it happens to taste like. They named it after the fact. Wow. Is it pink? No, they're just normal normal grapes and they also don't taste perfectly like cotton candy they just have a little bit of that but have you guys heard of um

grapples or graples apples that taste like grapes i've seen that as well i haven't had those but uh me neither why don't we just stick to making the thing taste like the thing huh let's eat the fruits that the lord provided us with yeah hey speaking of interesting novelty foods that you bought recently jeff we went down to the uh the the to usc to the california science center saw the space shuttle endeavor and you got yourself a little freeze dried ice cream sandwich didn't you like a little astro man yeah i did so what you're calling me out on the pod well i'm calling you out for your attitude as you're eating it i'm basically an astro man now well how does anyone give me the respect of a space walker because i remember the boston museum of science and getting dehydrated ice cream sandwiches yeah and lo and behold they behold, they had them. They're weird.

But where else do you get these things other than museums? You can't get it at Albertsons or Ralphs. And my big experiment was I'm going to add water to it and see if it expands into a normal ice cream. It's rehydrating! You know, like there are those things that you put in the water where it's like it blows up overnight. You're like, wow, it's a gecko or sponge.

It's like a big sponge T-Rex. Yeah. And, you know, I waited for, you know, definitely a minute and a half. Nothing. I had to eat it. Dehydrated. There's that funny Simpsons where he like, Bart gets one of those little capsules and he imagines

it like growing is like a huge dinosaur that eats Lisa. He sprays water on it, just grits a little bigger and goes into the drain. Speaking of novelty foods, I've got an update for the grasshoppers. The chocolate covered grasshoppers from the challenge.

Oh yeah, the chocolate challenge. So I texted my neighbor, whose vestibule my package was stuck in, and finally she got back to me and she says, there's a package there for me. She's like, oh yeah, well,

I'm sorry, but I opened it. She just didn't, you know, what a package is there for you, you don't always read it. So she opened it, and then she was like, but I opened it. Like she just didn't, you know, what a package is there for you. You don't always read it. So she opened it and then she was like, it was something weird. She's right. Yeah. Well, yeah, she's right.

But also like, uh, it's my mail. Yeah. It's your mail. And you were texting her about it. For you to open it. I get that mistake, but then like, I don't get like the, yeah, I opened your mail. It's your mail and you were texting her about it. For you to open it, I get that mistake, but then like, I don't get like the, yeah, I opened your mail.

It's weird. Just to get you ready, you don't know what this is going to be. She's got to understand that you have a podcast and your co-host thinks it's fucking Fear Factor, gets to make his friends eat bugs. You joke, but Fear Factor was hosted by Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan, the most podcast the popular podcaster on earth so i got us on the right track nice tim i've been owned by facts and logic

hell yeah um hey you know what um another pop culture reference to whiskey sours i remembered was you remember uh during hemingway week here on the pod heming week i read uh immovable feast because it's like a novella so you could crank it out fast sure and i was talking about how f scott fitzgerald had tuberculosis and didn't tell anyone because he was like ashamed and back then it was just like i'll just ignore it there's a scene in uh immovable feast where his like tuberculosis is acting up and he but he won't say what it is he's like oh it's just my lungs they'll be fine and then earnest a pre emingway daiquiri earnest back in the 20s he orders whiskey sours up to the hotel room in France and it was like this will heal you and so they're like trying to cure tuberculosis with bourbon with this very drink that we're drinking now do you guys feel

like it's an elixir yeah it's my tuberculosis isn't acting up at all yeah my TV is underwrapped what does it look like when one's tuberculosis acts up I I think it's a caught here it's like a coughing fit and you're dying and you're on death's door. You know in movies like in the old days, or movies that are about the old days, when somebody's like coughing and they look at their handkerchief and there's blood. I think that's a tuberculosis thing.

I wrote a joke in a script one time that never got made and I was proud of the joke where an old guy coughs into a napkin and then he slowly unfolds it and there's no blood and he goes hey no blood i said that's pretty funny but the script went unproduced the powers that be didn't think so uh so tim you you went and you did some research off pod and you mentioned earlier on the supper club thing you went and researched that I when this podcast is over I you know drag to drag to garbage

I'm done yeah it's pencils down man and you don't even mean the trash folder you mean the garbage can in your apartment yeah well here's what I like to do I listen to a lot of audible while I'm jogging. So that's the, you know, you listen to some David Wondrich, you listen to some other guy.

That's mainly where my, and then I like watching YouTube videos. I don't like to read. I haven't touched Wikipedia at all in this podcast because Wikipedia, as your parents will tell you, you can't trust Wikipedia. No, you cannot. I love that, that old people just heard of parents will tell you, you can't trust Wikipedia. No, you cannot. I love that, that old people just heard of Wikipedia as like a thing you can't trust. And now it's like, yeah, that's where we all get all of our information.

Yeah. Are you going to Encarta or taking out your old Britannica? It's funny that the same boomers that told us like, you know, for our book reports and stuff, it's like like don't trust internet sources yeah oh it's the internet you can put anything on to do a work cited like yeah you can do anything on the internet those same people 20 years later are like did you know that hillary sucks child blood yeah and that i think is actually true and that's what i know it's crazy because it's in it's in peer-reviewed journals pick a side um, pick a side. Hey, bourbon-wise, let me bring it back to the cocktail.

Thank you. What did you guys use for bourbon? Makers. I was so swayed at the bourbon bar, the Jim Beam bourbon bar. I got Jim Beam. That works on you. Did you bring home a bottle from the stadium? No, I went to

the store and got a nip. You got to get that vanilla stuff. That would be good. I was going to do whiskey because I was like, I have whiskey. And I said, no, no, no. This recipe calls for bourbon, baby. So I went out, got myself a fresh bottle of bullet. It's

treating me right. Jeff, I got to warn you. I don't remember why, but I feel like we've gotten some DMs that Bullet is canceled. We'll look into it. Oh, no. What am I going to do with the rest of this bottle? Drink it? I think that they, you know what I think it is?

I think they put out a statement that they don't want three teeny dick podcasters. Oh, boy. That's another business. Well, see, I take that personally. Yeah, when you say something like that, I can't help but take it personally. You can't not. You can't not. But I do think that some combination between 80-proof alcohol and lemon juice,

that takes care of the salmonella, right? Any potential salmonella. You would have to guess. If you've got a little egg white, but you're also putting in an ounce of lemon juice and some 80 proof, you know, that's why it feels medicinal. It's because there's some serious shit in there. Yeah. Yeah. I got to say that foam is staying on top the whole, I'm halfway done and this foam is staying strong.

Speaking of the foam and the egg and all that stuff you guys were talking about, did I ever tell you about a kind of a recent celebrity encounter I had that involved this drink? This drink? You saw it? Wow. Recently? Fairly recently and this is big. This was maybe an

A-lister. Holy shit. Wow. No, you didn't tell. I don't remember this at all. Well, I'll elaborate. Well, you guys know about my lifestyle, how Saturday nights you can find me on the Sunset Strip or whatever the hottest new bar is. Yeah, for sure. Saturday nights are fight nights, you say. I think you're misquoting Elton John there, but all right. Bernie Tobin.

Toppin? Who's his lyricist? Bernie. Top man. Bernie Toby Maguire. Top shop. Top shop. We need another hit, top shop.

So I was out at one of my kind of hot clubs and I was waiting in line for the bar and then it came my turn and I say to this. You don't get like, you have a crazy night out, but it's not VIP service. You're still waiting in line. It's a lot of like waiting around, shoulder to shoulder, you don't get like you have a crazy night out, but it's not VIP service. You're still waiting. It's a lot of like waiting around shoulder to shoulder, pushing where you can VIP. Like I breeze past the doorman.

They know me, but then I get to the bar and I'm standing in a long line. Can I get a drink? I'm not at that level. Fucking pisses me off. I'll be honest. Sometimes I come home and I haven't had a drop to drink. But one of these nights I was in line and then it kind of came my turn and I said, you know, whiskey sour. And then the bartender says, sure, I'll make that for you.

Reaches for, starts making the drink, reaches for an egg. And this was before I knew about the whole thing, you know? Right. So I said, whoa what what i said why why why was why are you why is that is that what i think it is and i said why and i was whoa what why is that what i think it is why yeah this is a verbatim quote i I said, why, why that? And what, and why? And,

and as I was having a little bit of a panic attack, I feel a little tap, tap on my shoulder. I turn around. It's the weekend. Oh my God. Oh shit. He's huge.

He's huge. And, and I, I, it was in the middle of my mouth. And I, I, I'm hoping he can help me out and explain why and what.

So I look at him. I'm like, the weekend? What? And luckily, I hit play record on my voice memo. Oh, awesome. Sure. App. Well, we promised each other we would do that if we ever were in a situation just like this.

Yeah, that was a pod back. That's come in handy. We always say, if you ever bump into The Weeknd, you got to record him because we're big fans, quite frankly. So I go to The Weeknd, why? And he tells me. He's still at it with the why. He says this. It's Binded by the whites.

Yes, that round shell's eggy food from brunch. I said, ooh, I drink whiskey sours all night. It's all omelette tea inside my guts. Right. Omelette-y. Omelette-y my guts. Right. Omelette. Omelette. Wow. Wow.

That's cool that you happen to run into a guy who drinks these all night. Yeah. But he was the, he's an authority on this subject. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And this was just a regular Saturday night, right? Mm-hmm. Okay.

It just makes sense why his voice wouldn't be warmed up at all. Yeah. I know. I thought that too he's normally got that silver tongued yeah beautiful soul voice this one it almost sounded like he started off the song is like with a full voice crack watch it mike it wasn't that bad he probably has these arena shows like monday through friday and then you know on the weekend the weekend yeah monday yeah He gets to like kind of just be like,

I don't need to worry so much about that stuff. I should have mentioned this was the morning after his Super Bowl halftime show. So he said he was raspy. That's crazy. That makes sense. Exhausting. And, you know, these guys, they get to party in all night and their voice just isn't the same.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. But there was one, i had one qualm what and i turned to him yeah i said thank you so much for i'll explain this but but binded by the whites like i just don't know like binded right yeah yeah i was like i don't know if that's the right form of that word i think you're totally right but if we're talking about binding and i was like i just don't know if you're saying that grammatically correct oh it's exactly yeah and then he was like you know tim you might be right and we were like well what

what's the correct word and then we were both kind of brainstorming for a little bit like what should he have said what's the right word and how long did that brainstorming go a little bit. Like, what should he have said? What's the right word in this scenario? How long did that brainstorming go on, you think? 45 minutes tops. Oh, okay. So, yeah. Not the whole night. But we're pretty much at a loss, and we're kind of losing steam, and then we get a little tap on our shoulder. No. We turn around.

Kanye West. No! Wow, he's so reclusive these days, too. I know! Well, he had come in from Calabasas um yeah he was thirsty i guess yeah a newly separated kanye yeah exactly well that was the thing he's single he's back out on the town carousing and and we were like maybe you can help us because like we don't know we're like binded what what why what? Why? What? What? Now both of you are saying.

We said what? The confusion is just spreading at this point. Exactly. And he's all confident and cool. He's wearing Yeezys. He looks awesome. And without batting an eye, he says this.

I know you're tired of saying, of saying the wrong word. The wrong word, the wrong word. So just say the right word. No speaking this poorly. Just say the right word. I can't wait to hear what the right word is. Ah, ah, binded. All them other words is lame and you know it now. Say the real word.

I'm going to show you how. Bam. Bam. What? Bam. Wow. Ah, ah, binded. Mm-hmm. Oh, my gosh apparently bound yeah he's wagging his finger in the air saying i i binded it's yeah it's bound together by egg white wow yes because that's that's if you think back about

how this all started when i was freaking out it's's like, that's what the egg white is doing. The drink is bound together by it. And by bound, we mean that there's a consistency throughout the drink. Yes. That is due to the thickness of the egg white. See, you get it. That's awesome that you met those superstars. I know.

And that they were able to get you out of a jam. Yeah. Yeah. And into another jam, to get you out of a jam. Yeah. Yeah. And into another jam, like a, you know, in a way. I got to say, it's like one of those moments where you just say like, I know there's a higher power up there because these guys being here right in those moments to say what they said, you know. That was your, that was a big moment for you.

Yeah. Well, that's exciting. Did you happen to get autographs? Because that's big. Yeah. Both. I had my autograph book on me, so I got both. Now did, did, did the weekend ever apologize for throwing you off track for like 45 minutes to an hour or whatever? Yeah. He was really apologetic. But then I said, dude, honestly, without you, I wouldn't even know grammar aside. I wouldn't even know what the egg white is doing.

So you did help me out. And he was like, he kind of admitted that he's always, he's really good about ingredients and their purposes, but he's not great on grammar and syntax. Yeah. He probably blushed and, you know, kicked his feet together and was like, well, thanks Tim. I'm glad I could get you halfway. Yeah, exactly. And then I, here's the cool thing. I told him, would you do me a favor? And he was like, yeah. I was like, bring back your old original hairstyle. And he said, he'll do it. Nice. He's thinking, yeah, man. I would've, I would've said like, Hey, come on the podcast, but you said get the old hairstyle back. No, I want that old hairstyle. Cause I don't really

like it. It's fun. It's exciting. It's a cool, cool look. Yeah. That's classic Tim just thinking about number one. What he wants. What he needs is that hair to change. Not thinking about his boys. Or the pod. The pod numbers. I should have texted you guys and asked what hairstyles you wanted him to have. Mohawk. Well, that would have been something we could have talked to both of them on the podcast about.

Yeah, I would love to hear it from the horse's mouth, but I guess we'll... Guys, do we do a second round? I think so. It's a longie. I kind of have to because I have some unfinished business where I got to do less egg, and I'm going to do more sugar this time, so maybe it's less sour. I like that. I mean, and what am I going to do? Just no egg? What am I to do?

Everybody's wondering. You put the yolk in there. Do I go more white? I'm going to maybe go a little less lemon. Folks, we'll be right back. Peace. And we're back with round two and our final thoughts on the whiskey sour. The whiskey.

Did you guys do anything differently? No, I just, I tried to do a little less lemon, but it's still, I can't really tell. Me too. I put more sugar, less lemon, less egg, and it's still pretty stiff. It is funny to do a whole egg for each drink. It's not like you do an egg white into like you can't really save egg white and do it for the next one. I did. I put it in a little cup.

Yeah. Oh, there you go. I put one in a cup but then I put that cup in my dirty sink so I didn't use it again. And I did the same thing, just no egg. So this is another standard kind of option. Just no egg. And I got to say, I miss the egg. Oh, Jeff, we'll get you back together.

Well, my, you know, I keep chickens in the, in the house. Yeah. And you know, the one I keep in the fridge, I opened the fridge door and he was like, what are you doing? Another one of these things? His beak was chattering. Hey, Tim, you could have also done

Binded by the White. Oh, Springsteen. Oh, that's a good one. Written by Springsteen, covered by Manfred Mann. Manfred Mann. Wrapped up like a deuce. That word is deuce, okay? Nice try, everybody.

Well, wait, is it time for... Were you asking me for final thoughts? Yeah, give me a final thought. I started about... I started final thoughts, and then I talked to alts. But let's get into final thoughts. Well, but hold on. Before you went off on...

I had a tangent that I wanted to go on, too. Can on it oh boy go on it i remembered uh king yeah oh i dropped this crown um calling recalling all the way back to our beloved segment one and i know listeners always think oh segment one was good segment two okay i hope they call back segment one pennsylvania i was trying to think of our experience with pennsylvania beers think, oh, segment one was good. Segment two, okay. I hope they call back segment one. Pennsylvania, I was trying to think of our experience with Pennsylvania beers, yinglings and such. The night before our friend's wedding in Pennsylvania, we were in State College, which is a very fun town to be in in the summer, right? Because it's a college town where Penn State is. And then in the summer, it's empty because there's like 60,000 students

that are not there. And we had a very fun night of going to all the different bars in State College, Pennsylvania. And we went to an underground pub called The First. The First, spelled F-Y-R-S-T, I think. Yes. And do you remember, just a fun bar, but do you remember the trombone?

Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. I still don't know whether we got like, uh, uh, grifted or that was just happenstance, but there was a jug band playing at this pub and they did, uh, and they were great. It was like this kind of a bluegrass band. And before one of their songs, they handed out a bunch of funny instruments like, um, grass band and before one of their songs they handed out a bunch of funny instruments like um those kind of laundry scratch boards and kazoos and all the stuff most people could just play

yeah bottles that you would blow on or or uh cowbells and and triangles a fun way to get people involved very fun we should do this on our next tour remember i bought i bought those maracas and i always forget shakers yeah They never once used them on the tour. One of these days they're going to make it on stage. So one of the items was a trombone. And they were mainly instruments everyone could play, but then there was also a trombone in the mix. And then they're like, okay, we're going to play this song

and you guys help us out. So they'd be like, granddaddy used to play that washboard all night. He played that washboard all night. And then they point to the person in the audience they got the washboard and it was like and like hey all right you know it's the type of act you would see at like uh an amusement park show yes and something that would play well with four-year-olds but we were like 28 year olds and it was working on us and then they're like uh you know grandmama used to play that cowbell all night point to the person ding ding ding and then finally they get it like grandpappy used to play that trombone all night and then they pointed to the guy with the trombone

he was like and we lost our shit we're like he knows he was in the marching band i think at the school is it possible that that was just a coincidence or did was that their friend who plays trombone i think that was a coincidence because the the look on the face of the band leader was like uh very like oh you kind of you kind of stuck it to me here. Yeah, you're upstaging me at my gig. Well, you know, if there's a crowd of 100 people, I would say that maybe it was 100 people.

Odds are somebody's going to play something. And they were like, who wants the trombone? And a guy raised his hand and grabbed that trombone and lo and behold, he complained. I don't even know if he raised it. Like the odds of that just being, like, handed to that person is insurmountable. Maybe we were all grifted. It's just,

of all the, like, you know, with guitar, you could assume someone's going to play guitar or drums or something, but the idea that someone goes brrrr. And I feel like we, yeah, we all like truly lost our shit. And then the other thing I remember from that night, I got a cheese stick hoagie.

They cut it in half and they individually wrapped the halves. And I love that. You know, one stayed warm in the foil the whole time. Yeah, see, in Philly, they take care of their boy. They take care. We should move. Philadelphia. Oh, my final thought. This is

good. It's okay. This is probably not order again for me. No? Too sour? Eh, it's just not my thing. I think the sourness is okay. I actually probably would, I don't

know. I think it's just the whiskey and the citrus I don't like together. Is it because whiskey makes you frisky? Mm-hmm. And sour makes me dour. Oh, so it's kind of a perfect storm going on over there. Imperfect storm, yeah. This is an order again for me.

Am I doing it all the time? No. But come on, this is one of the good guys. Yeah. It's on the good team. It's a classic. And I do like the egg, you know. If you can do the egg.

We still don't know who should be doing the egg and avoiding the egg. But if you think you're an egg type of person, if that doesn't freak you out, I don't think you should be freaked out. I think the lemon takes care of it. The bourbon takes care of it. Anything you'd be worried about, try it. It's a good, frothy, weird guy. And just put a little dash.

You don't want to sip on. One pinch of egg. I'll say since we started drinking this, since I started drinking this egg drink, my left eye has been very itchy. I don't know if it's connected. I don't know. Pray for me. Left Eye Lopez.

Michael Left Eye Lopez. My review is, this is, this, I do like it, but this is the worst whiskey sour I've ever had. And I don't know if it's my fault or the IBA list, but if you're in SoCal, go down to Musso and Frank. And quite frankly, their cocktail menu reads like the episode list of our show. It's so great. Cause all the classics are there. I had a Singapore sling, a little too juicy, but they have everything we've covered on the show and they make them

really well. And their whiskey sour was divine. So I don't know if I'm fucking up or if I can pin it on the IBA. I think it's a good drink, and this is not the best version. Now, the IBA, this has got to be in, like, the classics category. What is that? Unforgettables. Unforgettables, yeah. Well, that wraps up the eggy, eggy omelet drink. And now it's time for the quiz.

Are you guys up for this? Sure. I am very up for this. This is very special because I didn't make the quiz. You didn't make the quiz, but one of our beloved Patreon subscribers, uh, AKA Patrons,

Harg Labargue, uh, emailed us and said, guys, if you guys ever do a whiskey sour episode, I made you a quiz. That's great. He sent us a link to a Google quiz that he created himself. And we said, yeah, dude, I didn't even know this was possible.

And I think that listeners run the less work we have to do. If we could set this up so that we don't even have to talk every week. Yeah. Yeah. If we could outsource just like every aspect of this even have to talk every week yeah yeah if we could outsource just like every aspect of this thing you guys drink the drinks we're on easy you guys do everything except hanford still does the ads i'll say this patrons only can give quizzes i like that put it behind the paywall folks yeah subscribe why you not subscribe? If you want to do a little extra work, you got to

pay up. Yeah, right. If you want homework, you got to pay. Well, this is great because all of us can participate. None of us know the answers and it's a treat for all. You guys have the link. Want to open up the Whiskey Sour

quiz and we will just walk right through it. I'm going to keep a little list here of the score. Okay, smart. It'll probably tell me at the end or tell each of us what our score was. And then the winner should get some scratch off money, I'm guessing.

Yeah, I guess Harglebarg will send in the scratch off money. Yeah, maybe like a hundred grand of scratch off money. Nice. Now I'm interested. Okay. Question one, lemon or egg? Wait, is that the name of the whole quiz? Lemon or egg? It looks like it. Oh yeah, it looks like it. The quiz, lemon or egg? You must decide if it's a variety of lemon or a variety of chicken egg? Wow. Okay. So we're going to get questions thrown at us and we're answering whether it's a lemon or an egg.

Great. I'm prepared. I am ready. Yes, I'm prepared. Question one. Avon. Lemon or egg? Are we saying it or just clicking it?

We probably should say it. We should discuss. Yeah, I'm going to say it sounds like a lemon. I'm going to say a lemon also there, T. That's an egg. Okay, enter it. Bing, bang, boom. That's an Avon lemon.

Ouch. Avon lemon. Ooh, I like this. This gives us the correct answer right away. Avon lemon. So Hanford, you're kind of like dragging. How do you feel about your chances to come back? I don't think I'm going to come back at all.

I'm way behind at this point. You're out of it. It's a blowout. But it's between me and Jeff, 1-1. I got to say, that's neck and neck. Question number two. Question number two. Bonnie Bray. B-R-A-E.

That's an egg. Bray is the sound that some animal makes, so I'm going egg. Me too. I think I'm going to go egg with you guys. Unanimously egg. We said egg, and the answer is lemon! Lemon!

Yikes. This next one's good. Next one is dorking. Dorking is something I tend to do in the privacy of my home. Watch yourself yourself my man watch it bud i'm going egg i gotta go i'm going egg dorking i'll go lemon just for the sake of

switching it up and the answer is it's a chicken egg dorking egg you dorking egg i think those are those chickens with the kind of uh their glasses have a little tape in the middle. They're getting beat up by the other chickens. By the Chad chickens. By the Chad roosters. Next question. That'd be funny if this quiz was like 30 questions long. I didn't know there were any varietals of lemons or eggs.

I can't believe we haven't gotten to Meyer lemon. That's the only one I would know. Yeah. Well, what about this one? The next question. Bush. Bush. I'm going lemon because a bush of lemons makes sense.

That's a bush egg. That's an egg that fell into a bush. Yeah, I'm going bush egg. And the answer is? Bush lemon. Lemon. Lemon. That's a bush lemon damn makes sense buddha's hand is the next one i've seen this this is a thing that people will have in like a jar

on their kitchen counter and it's a hand and i'm just filled with eggs or is it filled with lemons i don't remember but i'm saying lemon as well. Because it would be weird to have a jar of eggs on your counter, unless you're an old-timey bar. It is a lemon. Lemon. Not unlike the car I drive. Mike.

You went down to the lemon dealership? Yeah. Okay, next is Black Star, which is a David Bowie album. And a most deaf Talib Kweli. That's true. I'm going to go with Lemon. I'm going with Egg. But that sounds funny.

A Black Star Egg? Sounds cool either way. And the answer is Egg. It's an egg. Damn. What a fancy name for an egg. What did you have, Tim, a lemon? I said lemon.

I don't know if I got these points right. Hopefully it does it at the end. Next, we have golden comet. Ooh. Okay, because the golden could either refer to that yellowy rind or that yellowy yolk. I'm saying egg because you think about it, if an egg shoots out of a chicken's backside and it kind of shoots across the air,

hey, look at that. Pew, pew, pew. Golden comet, you'll say. Yeah, I'm picturing a broken yolk that dribbles out and it's a comet-like. I'm going lemon, golden comet. I'm going egg and the answer is? I'm going egg, and the answer is... Egg!

Egg. It's an egg. Next. Well, that's it. Thanks for playing! Thanks for playing, Slappy Boys. P.S. Fuck watermelon mojito bud light seltzer. Ouch.

Yeah! That's a hotly debated topic about the flavors of the bud light seltzers i didn't really did we like any of those uh out of office pack there was one we like i think maybe it was the watermelon one oh damn so the very one we liked no no i i didn't i didn't like the watermelon i forget what the other ones were. Margarita was kind of salty. They were all, I didn't like any of the out-of-office pack, I remember. Yeah, they were skippable, but they were also not even, they were not even as disgusting in a fun way as the holiday ugly sweater pack. But I think we did have one where it was like,

oh, this is, of these is the best of them. Well, you'll have to go back and listen. Well, now guys, click on submit and then you can see how many you got right or wrong. Oh, yes. And I only got two right out of nine. Oh, dutty. And as for me, I got eight out of nine.

Wow. I got six. So let's do a little math here. Two, six, eight. Which, I got to get on my calculator app here. Which is the highest number? Oh, you don't have to do that. Tim, don't rub it on our faces.

Or don't rub it on our beaks. I don't know my lemons for my eggs, okay? One's yellow. And the other one, I think, is also yellow. This week's champion, who really needed a W because last week he orchestrated the chocolate challenge and it all went to shit. Yeah. So it's nice that old Calpique, the tea man himself, takes it home. Back on top with the egg or lemon challenge.
