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. What's up? And Tim Kalvagas. What is up New England stylies? Oh, I was trying to do a I was trying to do like a thing and a frog got my throat there and cut me off.

A frog? A Budweiser frog? A Budweiser. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hot Mike, Hot Mike on my Okay, I'm good, I'm good. Are you going to do that whole Will Ferrell on a gas tire sketch? Hot Mike, Hot Mike. No, no, no, no, no. That was a whole, they did a bunch of those.

We wouldn't have time. Yeah, that's true. Maybe that could be on the Patreon. Yeah. Hey, you guys want to see this pedal board? Oh, my God. You little sneak. You didn't even update us going along.

You just said you were going to do it one day. Listeners, this is Jeff's guitar pedal board for all of his little footy effects that he likes to step on. Whoa! Damn, dude! This is a Pedaltrain Classic Junior. And you'll see I got in order of the

way that the signal goes. I got a tuner up here. Great. Compressor. I like it. Compressor good. A little boss compressor. A little classic wah pedal. Compressor. Out of the way. I like it. Compressor good. A little boss compressor. A little classic wah pedal. Oh yeah. Into the big muff. I got a new big muff. A small one. Look at that. This is the op amp.

And then finally the White Wizard. This is a doner. A lesser known. It's a nice day for a White Wizard. Yeah. White Wizard is a kind of a looper delay pedal thing? This is like a multi-effect thing from China. They're not as popular. It's got like tremolo and chorus and phaser and that sort of stuff.

I have a looper. I have a looper pedal. When you push it, it just plays the audio from the movie looper. My whole thing. Two hours. Yes. Mike,

are you being truthful? I'm being truthful and honest here. And the bummer is you can't stop it. It has to play the whole thing. So if you accidentally step it, yeah. That's such a weird pedal. It sucks. It's a good movie though. I got it cheap.

I got it cheap. Who gave it to you? Bruce Willis? Bruce Willis himself. And I want to say Justin Long, but he's not in that movie. I'm thinking of Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Joe Go Low. Joe Go Low. long but he's not in that movie i'm thinking of joseph gordon levitt joe go low um we go high joe go low um speaking of uh bruce willis i remember i was a kid i i loved uh die the die hard movies who doesn't but i remember being a kid and i and i heard i found out uh bruce willis was handsome i remember hearing somebody on tv TV say Bruce Willis is handsome.

I was like, really? Huh. Because it's like – Maybe I'm handsome. It's hard to tell – not to be all whatever, but it's hard to tell sometimes when men are attractive, let alone when you're a kid and he's like a manly man. And kind of like, I don't know, receding hairline and not what I, I would have probably guessed that Arnold Schwarzenegger was, was handsome. Yeah, for sure. I was like, look at that. That's handsome. He had that confidence. Or like also when you're,

when you're a kid and you're like, oh, I understand why girls think Brad Pitt is attractive. And it's like, well, yeah, cause Brad Pitt is like pretty the way that a girl is pretty, you know, or like Schwarzenegger. No, he's pretty rugged though. Oh yeah, I guess he is now. But girl is pretty. No, he's pretty rugged, though. I guess he is now. But that is true. The guys that I would identify as handsome are beautiful men. But not like,

hey, I'm Bruno, the bartender who you love to love. What about, maybe I could be one of the handsome guys? Yeah, you are. You are, you're beloved. Tony's a perfect example. Yeah, but I never made any of the handsome guys? Yeah, you are. You are. You're beloved. Well, Tony's a perfect example. Yeah, but I never made any of those hot lists in people's hot magazine.

But here's the thing. You're a real, you're an alpha dog, Tony. That's right. So people love you. Okay, I got to go get the prescriptions. He's always in a rush to get them. He's always in a rush. What is the problem?

Does he ever get to take those prescriptions or he's just picking them up, dropping them off? No, I always open a bottle to get them. He's always in a rush. What is the problem? Does he ever get to take those prescriptions or he's just picking them up, dropping them off? No, I always open a bottle and lose them. Yeah, I'd love for him to come by sometime when the prescriptions have been dealt with. Right, me too. Prescriptions are dealt.

Now I can talk just regularly with Calm. Hey, Calm, I'm a mobster. I think the impression the impression is fading. I got to work that we'll build that back up. That was bad. Yeah, go woodshed that

for a while and I got woodshed it for a while. Yeah, if we want to pause here, I'll come back. OK, folks, we're back. It was a four hour break. We are all set here. Mike is sweating bullets.

The magic of editing has brought us back here, and I don't think I'm ready yet to keep doing the impression. Maybe next week. Well, why don't you keep workshopping and woodshedding while we get into some bibbidbipbipbop booze news. Hit it. Welcome to Booze News.

Whoa. With your Mike and Dougs Tim, Mike, and Doug. Getting boozy and newsy. Gonna learn lots of stuff. Yeah, this song sounds familiar. What's it remind me of? Man, I can't remember. Guess I'll just go get drunk.

It's Booze News. And I can't remember. Guess I'll just go be drunk. It's booze news, you breakfast-eating piece of garbage. Did that say you breakfast-y piece of garbage? Breakfast-eating piece of garbage. Okay, good, good. That makes more sense. Slightly more sense. All right. I loved how long it took for the garbage to

pop out. That was great. Really taking his time. That was Danny Paulson from the Minneapolis band The Denim Boys. Kind of alluding to my secret shame that I'll never reveal which melody I accidentally ripped off of that song, but I'll take it to the grave. Yeah, geez, wow. Somebody really jumped

on that, huh? Everybody's all over me on that one. I haven't been able to leave the house, but if you want to make a booze news theme, email us at thesloppyboyspodcast at gmail.com. And if you want to bother Tim, you can find him at 368

Crossover Street. Come on and shove me around. Crossover street? What the hell am I talking about? Well, it's probably because you've seen me play hockey and I do so many crossovers in my skating. Yeah, you're a very, very strong skater. Now, tell me, Tim, does the power come from, right, the thighs

or is it in the feet? You got to have the thighs like tree trunks, you know, and then you also have a heart, a strong heart that won't quit. Yeah, you got to have the passion. It's the power of heart. The power of heart. I thought that we would use today's booze news to check in on, you know, kind of a, the biggest story we've been sort of tracking and we had made some

predictions, but we're talking about what, you know, what will be the drink of the summer 2021. Right. I feel like maybe this first came up when we were talking Aperol Spritz and how much that dominated a couple summers ago and then White Claw. And then, of course, the seltzers, the seltzers, the seltzers. But now, Michael, you had mentioned the Natterday Pops and the the tipsy scoop ice cream. And a lot of our beloved slop heads have been reaching out, telling us about truly pops, Bud Light seltzer frozen icicles and Coors seltzer orange cream pops.

Have you had? No had, uh, I haven't had any of these pops i i should try to i should try one yeah daddy no i have not had the closest i've come to a to a like a boozy deserty thing was the jack shram jello cake yeah jello shot cake solid wiggles which was delicious solid wiggles yes well you know we got those popsicles for doing um Doughboys live stream fundraiser. And you better believe I took some of those basil limes and I put them in a blender with some liquor. Oh. What type of liquor?

You could say I sort of made my own tequila. That's very good. And then did you freeze them back up on the sticks? No, I ate them right then and there. Is tequiza something? What am I saying there? Is that a brand? Tequiza was a drink much like Zima or Smirnoff Ice.

Ah. Ah. And it was a malt beverage that was like tequila-esque. I tried to get Zima the other, maybe a month ago, and I couldn't find anything. And the cops are on to you now? Yeah. Can you hear that? We step out with the Tequiza.

I wanted Zima. Man, what a boom for these, a boom or a boon? I don't know. You decide. I'm going to say boon. For these beer places to get into the seltzer as a stepping stone to getting into the popsicle. Exactly. Because if Coors and Bud were like, we have pops, you'd be like, what the fuck are you doing?

But then they're like, well, we've been a seltzer company for 11 months. Don't forget our weird middle step. You know these companies years ago were like, okay, we have to make pops, but how are we going to get there? Fuck! Fuck me! So I do think the frozen treat thing is popping off, and it's only going to get bigger and bigger. But there is a dark horse that has been gaining steam. And I'm sure this doesn't feel super summary to me, but according to the New York times, the gray lady, all the news that's fit to print.

Yes. Nice. The espresso martini is everywhere again. Have you guys heard about it? You know, I've heard about it through word of mouth. A lot of my friends coming up to me and saying, yeah, we had espresso martinis last night. And I said, wow, is this on the tip of everyone's tongue? This is on the very tip of my tongue. That's a funny thing. Why do they call it

espresso martini? Oh, boy. What's that all about? Probably because it zips you up and you gotta move, move, move. Oh, boy. Should we tell them? No, we shouldn't. I don't know. Don't tell me. I mean, this drink, here's what the cool thing is. It's on the fucking IBA, man.

It's on our cocktail list, so we should do it. But, you know, the espresso martini is kind of a 90s novelty that people used to make fun of a lot. And it has Kahlua in it. So it's sweet and kind of like Wolfgang puckish, you know, that type of, uh, nineties.

It sounds like something like Chandler and Joey would have. Yeah, exactly. And, um, um, this, this article that came out recently,

it says that the, the, as, as the world rebounds, so too does the story nineties cocktail. And they are kind of crediting this trend to reality TV because the rich ladies on Bravo shows like Summer House and Below Deck have been ordering espresso martinis. And then that caught on. And now a lot of bars in New York have it.

And it makes sense because we've now developed a taste for your four locos and your caffeine wake me up boozes. So this is having a little Renaissance. So now does it like, does it, so these, these ladies on like the real housewives or whatever, of whatever town are getting them because they were drinking those in the nineties and they just kind of didn't stop drinking them yet. Yes. I don't think they're aware of the revival. I think that these are kind of like which rich old money ladies who that was their peak in the 90s. And then you got the Bravo fan base saying, I'd like to order that at brunch. Yeah.

We got to get these Bravo rich ladies to start listening to a podcast that, yeah, it's about cocktails, but they're funny guys. They're kind of cool. They're kind of cool. They're in a band. And if you have a booze news theme, you can email it into them. And then once the Bravo ladies start doing it, then everybody starts doing it.

Man, could you imagine a booze news theme from Real Housewife of New York, Dorinda? The ladies are gathered around like, we're supposed to go to the big uh you know uh fundraiser event tonight but where's dorinda she's upstairs listening to a podcast it's the fucking slobby noise show again and now she's recording hey it sounds pretty good i wonder if they'll use this all full time if we find a booze news um booze news theme that we like that just like blows us away we have to make that the full-time theme yeah yeah is that that's yeah that's been the deal all along if somebody wins it they win it i've just still been auditioning all these people yeah this is the audition for your life

nobody's quite grabbed the brass ring well i got some uh sort of deserty news uh summer dessert news this is not this has nothing to do with booze, but I'm going to say it anyway because we're talking about some summer treats. The other day, I'm over at the bodega. It's what we call our corner store here in New York City. You totally lost us. We were like... Yeah, yeah.

A 7-Eleven for you guys. Thank you. So I pick up myself some Sour Patch Kids because I love Sour Patch Kids. Nice. Hanners. And I ate some of them and it was good. And then I look over at my refrigerator and I said, wait a minute, wait a minute.

I put those things in the freezer. Oh, my. Had them the next day. They were great. Do they crack like when you bite into them? Nope. They were a little harder, but you kind of bite on them and they're more of a hard candy now. It was great.

Oh, I bet they were much harder. Are they colder? A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. Tiny bit. Now, Mike, here's what I'm afraid of. What?

Your story sent a shock down my spine. Mm-hmm. I love a nice, soft candy. I love a Sour Patch. Yeah? I love Dots. Yeah? Dots are tough to eat.

And then as you get on the harder scale, you get towards your Mike and Ikes, maybe, let's say. Isn't Dots... Dots is pretty hard. They're soft as fuck. No, Dots are like gumdrops. But then you get to... I'm thinking of gravel.

Jujubees and jujubees. Jujubees is... And jujufruits. Those are too hard. Yeah. Well, that's... They get stuck on my teeth and you're pulling your teeth

out of your fucking gums chewing them. But these are more... You kind of like... Like I said, it's more of a hard candy and you're loosening and you're softening up

enjoying the taste and then you jump right into it. Okay. I'll just have to remember to loosen them up and enjoy the taste first before I really go for it. Just try it, please.

I think you're really going to enjoy it. Loosen them up means get them back up to the temperature they want. Yeah, warm them up. But while that's happening, you're sucking flavor. Yeah. Hey, suck flavor.

Suck flavor with a new frozen Sour Patch Kid. Here's my Sour Patch Kid hack. And you guys can use this if you want. I go into the bodega, buy the Sour Patch Kids, step outside. I pick out the red ones. I suck all the sour powder off of them. Yeah. And then I sheep them into Swedish fish.

Oh, God. And then I walk right back in there to the proprietor. Hey, would you like to buy some Swedish fish for your store at a huge markup? You know, because. Oh, yes, please. Because that's what they are underneath it all. It's just fucking Swedish fish. We have fresh bags of Swedish fish, but you have six wet ones here.

These seem ready to go. That means they're fresh. You have sour powder all over your face. Yes. Sour powder. Well, is there anything else for Booze News? No, wrap it up, please. All right.

That's it. Every week we do this and we're like, all right, wrap it up. I'm always expecting another song to come in. We don't have one. Well, I have two ideas. One, we could play another Booze News theme because I'm really backed up on good booze in these themes. Or we say wrap it up and we have a funny sound effect. That's like, like,

like star Wars, like shooting an escape hatch out, out into. Yeah. Yeah. Let's audition those for next time. I'll, I'll prep some.

Yeah. Jeff throw one in. No. Yeah. Let's, let's prep. We'll, we'll talk,

we'll listen to them. And then like, we'll decide next week, like which one we're going to kind of go with for now. Gotcha. Great. So I'll put on a pot of coffee. We'll stay up all night listening to those sound effects. Yeah. Maybe we'll get some week like which one we're going to kind of go with for now gotcha great so i'll put on a pot of coffee we'll stay up all night listening to those sound effects yeah maybe we'll

get some of those uh espresso martinis why do they call it expresso i guess they call it expresso okay you want to get into the drink of the day yeah who's got it i certainly do jeff i don't have it i've got it but i need a little bit of music no i was saying like jeff are you ready that's what I was sort of asking. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Tim, say what you were saying. Uh, why don't you hit the track?

Oh shit. Here we go, baby. It's the Reagan 80s and the sloppy boys are all coked up on the cape we're decked out from head to toe in blinding pastels wearing the biggest fucking boat shoes you've ever seen in your life we dock our fat yacht and well fleet and suck down a few dozen of their infamous oysters. Aroused from the aphrodisiac mollusks, we hoover a few more long rails of Columbia's

finest marching powder and roll into Provincetown like kings, pumping and pumping anything that moves. And all the while the beverage in our sweaty, sticky hands. Why? It's none of, it's none, none, none other than the red devil itself,

AKA the harpoon, AKA the vodka cranberry, AKA the harpoon. AKA the vodka cranberry. AKA the Cape Cod. AKA the motherfucking Cape Codder. A beverage that was invented in the 1940s by the goddamn Ocean Spray Corporation. I knew it. You've had... Have not had...

Woo! Not had... Oh, boy, I was doing some jazzercise while that was coming up. Now, when we say Cape Cod, we're saying vodka crayon. Have you guys just had a vodka crayon? Yes, of course. I don't think I've even had that. I probably had a sip and then said,

I will go with something more, something else. Something more, not like this. I will go with something else, I'll say. But Mike, that doesn't jive with the man I know you to be. What? The cranberry guy? You not liking? Love.

Yeah, you love cranberry. Yeah. You also love a Cosmo. That's true. But I think vodka cranberry is a little too simple for me. Oh, you need a little more. You need a little something more. Yeah.

What if I told you a little squeeze of a lime wedge? Oh, that might do it, Tim. Now we're talking. Now we're going somewhere. Even just color-wise, how nice is it to see the red drink with a pop of green up top? It kind of makes you say. It's a nice color combo. Reminds me of old St. Nick.

Yeah. A nice lime green even. This drink, the recipe here, this is not on the IBA, but we're doing this drink because last week we did the Sex on the Beach, which got us into kind of these 80s sweet drinks. And we noted that the Sex on the Beach is really a fuzzy navel plus a Cape Codder. So we said, let's do those. And there's no IBA recipe. So I got from Liquor.com, which is another nice standard one. They say one and a half ounces of vodka, cranberry juice chilled to top.

So they're not giving us a specific measurement i see like three parts to two parts or or two to one or ocean spray says like six to one because they want you to use a lot of juice um but they're just uh liquor.com just says to the top and the garnish is a lime wedge and the method is add vodka into a highball glass over ice. Top with cranberry juice and stir briefly to combine. Squeeze a lime wedge over the glass and drop it into the drink.

Whew. Simple. So folks, if you like your juice drinky, if you like your drink juicy. I like my juice drinky, yeah, for sure. I like my juicy loosey. Gone. I don I like my juice drinky, yeah, for sure. I like my juicy loosey. Gone. I don't like my juices

to take over my boozes, so I'm going to pack my glass full of a lot of ice so that there's not too much room, but if you like a juicy drink, you don't have to pack too much ice and make a nice juicer. Right, nice. But then you're getting a lot of that sugar.

A lot of juices are very sugary. It's true because this is cranberry cocktail that does have sugar in it. Right. And I do have to apologize to the Langer Juice Company. Oh, yeah. You shit on them. I really shit on them last time. I actually told them I got a bad crayon.

Sure. And I took a sip, and it was delightful. It was no ocean spray. It's not good crayon, but it's not bad crayon and I took a sip and it was delightful. It was no ocean spray. It's not good crayon, but it's not bad crayon. And so, uh, you know, I got another bottle of Langer's for today and I think it's going to suit me just fine. And it's cocktail, right? It's not the straight tart raw juice. Correct. Cocktail. Good, good, good, good. It is most certainly cranberry month here on the pod. Would you say that? Yes. I feel like this, we should have taped this episode in a blog. Yeah. I wonder when, when do they, uh, when do they harvest those cranberries? I wonder

if it's July. That would be great. It feels autumnal, but let's say it's July. Yeah. I think, I think cranberry season is July. Sure. Um, but I'm excited to have this cause I've had different incarnations over the years. Uh, the eighties preppy, waspy version of this that was very popular. I don't think we ever experienced that. But I do remember as like young drinkers in the 2000s, doesn't it feel like you would cocktail to a party there was a keg and then there would be like one sad little table with a couple of bottles and the only drinks i even knew were whiskey coke right yeah and vodka cran and those would be the only bottles and then maybe the gin and tonic later on like rum and coke or something like that but yes oh that was a big one but buccardian coke i feel like was probably the most popular one in college well cranberry is a good masker yeah uh so you can use some like shitty you can use some pretty shitty vodka if you got some good cran I've got stoli and we're typically a Tito's household mix mine up right

here oh my god that's what do you got there is that getting that's a candle looks like a looks like a little purple cape counter well let's uh let's get mixing because we're deep into segment one here, folks. Let's do it. We've got to get into it. All right, we'll be back. Folks, we'll see you in a minute. See you soon. Peace.

Hello, slopheads. Seinfeld reference. Okay, here's something we want to talk to you guys about. A friend of ours has a podcast that we think you should listen to. Her name is Allison Rosen, and her show is called Alison Rosen is Your New Best Friend. It's really great, and it comes out twice a week. Monday is a one-on-one with notable guests like Tim Heidecker, Tiffany Haddish, Scott Aukerman, Paul Rust, LeVar Burton, Fred Armisen, Bobby Moynihan. Whoa! She just had Chris Hansen from To Catch a Predator

on. How about that? And the second show of the week is Thursday. It's a group show that is silly and fun. We've been on it. We've been on it. You sit around and you just chit chat. She comes up with topics. You're laughing, you're living, and you're loving life. And she is the host with the most.

I'm talking about Alison Rosen. And she's got a Patreon where she puts out weekly bonus episodes and more so subscribe to Allison Rosen is your new best friend wherever you get podcasts because it's good folks we're back. Oh. Three Red Devils. Beautiful. Yeah, those were all the nicknames, Red Devils, the Cape Cod, the... They all came from, they started, like Ocean Spray started this drink because they wanted

adults to use their juice and they tried to get it to catch on as the Red Devil and that didn't work. And then I think they were like, ooh, the harpoon? And then years and years later, people just were calling it the Cape Codder. The Cape Codder is such a funny name. Well, it's funny, too. When you were going through the beginning there with all the 80s dudes, coked-up dudes drinking this, I pictured more of an older person's drink.

Me, too. Somebody who is like a wood paneled bar in Cape Cod. Yeah. Maybe like some nice old new Englanders sitting in a rocking chair. Yeah. I, uh, yeah, you know, I just, I couldn't reconcile, reconcile that with the, with the sloppy boys vibe, man. Yeah. Way, man. You know what reminds me of Howl from Gilligan's Island, like an old rich millionaire. Yes, yes, yes. Michael, look at that mug. Got my mug here, my Cape Cod potato chips mug.

Hey, I like it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I'm afraid I put as much ice as I could, but it still took a lot of juice to fill this up to the top, and I feel like I might have a juicy drink, but yeah, I added more.

Um, when I saw how much juice I was putting in there, I had to add a little more vodka. Come on, just the top. I, uh, I use these ice cubes.

I got one of those, uh, ice cube ball things. It makes an ice cube ball. Yeah. Uh, but not a big one. They're like little,

they look like ping pong balls. They're great. Oh, cool. Noise. Well, shall we? For ping pong balls. They're great. Cool, cool. Noise. Well. Shall we? First sips? Let's do it.

First sips. Mmm. Yeah, it's fucking great. Oh. Simple. I tell you, it's that lime that does it. It's a nice balance. Oh my God, I didn't squeeze my wedge.

Squeeze the wedge. Oh, I gotta squeeze the wedge. Fuck. Oh. Oh, that didn't squeeze my wedge! Squeeze the wedge! Oh, I gotta squeeze the wedge! Fuck! Oh! Oh, that's great. You guys know me. I used a lot of lime. Yeah. We know you are, right? I used a quarter lime in there. I'm putting a lot. I'm not using my garnish.

I used... Jeff, if you put a lot of everything, it just turns into the same drink again if you double the lime in. Extra juice, extra vodka. A lot of juice, a lot of everything, it just turns into the same drink again. If you double the lime in. Extra juice, extra vodka. A lot of lime, a lot of juice, a lot of vodka. You're going to need a lot of cup for that one, Jeff. You are so right.

That lime really turned it into something. It makes it, I mean, you know, as we were talking about, a cran vodka is just like a quick drink you can get at a quick bar. Yeah. Now it's a Cape Codder, and not that limes are indigenous to Cape Cod, but. Interesting. So I just, I squeezed like a little bit of lime wedge before, and then I had my lime at the, as a garnish. Yeah.

And then I squeezed that in, and it's too limey now. No. I would say scoot that drink on over to me, Mike. I'll tell you if it's too limey. I wish. Jeff, you're lime crazy. Your eyeballs have turned full green citrus. You know, just to keep it in the Cape Cod vibe,

I actually put a little bit of cod liver oil in there too. That's good for you. That's going to be really good. That is so gross. Just the word cod is one of those. We've talked about words that are tough. Like cod is just a funny one. Cod is odd.

Yeah, have some more cod. Cod is like not even a fish that all those white fishes are interchangeable. You know, you'll be at a restaurant like, oh some more cod. Cod is like not even a fish that, all those white fishes are interchangeable. You know, you'll be at a restaurant like, oh, the cod, and they're like, today it's flounder. You're like, okay, I'll have the flounder. Who gives a fuck? When do you have tilapia? Now, somewhere there's a white fish podcast

of three bozos talking about all the different, they're running down the international white fish catalog, and they're saying all the cocktails are the same. Yeah, a Cape Codder is the same as a, God damn, a martini, an espresso martini. Why do they call it an espresso, Mike? Just gets it zipped up, I guess. Get you on the expressway.

Get you moving. So what's the difference between this and the Cosmopolitan, our beloved Cosmopolitan? Triple sec, my boy. Cosmo triple sec. Okay. And it's shaken with triple sec. But this is, you know how every drink we ever do,

there's a big list of variations and they tend to be not interesting. So we don't go down that road. There's like infinite, like it almost seems like you do so many variations on something, it's just going to turn into an existing drink. Yeah. And it's like, hey, there's like infinite, uh, like it's almost seems like you do so many variations on something. It's just going to turn into an existing drink. Yeah. And it's like, Hey, what's the point? But this one is because vodka crayon is so basic.

It does. It is the root for so many drinks. Like, uh, I saw that if you add a splash of soda to this, it becomes a Rose Kennedy cocktail, more famously known as the vss vodka soda splash hey all about vss and then if you add grapefruit to this it's a sea breeze if you add pineapple it's a bay breeze if you add oj it's a madras and if you add what was the sea what was the sea breeze orange pineapple pineapple and then peach schnapps it's a woo woo which came up last week teeny weeny hey and of course schnapps and juice's a woo-woo, which came up last week. Teeny weeny.

And of course, schnapps and juice is the fucking sex on the beach again. Full circle. Yep. And hey, and looking at the Cosmo recipe, it calls for more vodka than cranberry juice. So I think the Cosmo is designed to be more of a heavy hitter. I think you're drinking this Cape Codder, you know, during the day playing croquet, you're having this.

And then at night you get all dolled up and you have a Cosmo. The Cosmo too had a, it wanted you to use lemon vodka. Vodka citrone. Citrone, yeah. And also I'm seeing garnish with lime slice, but then also I'm seeing a lot of garnishes that

are lemon twists. Oh does it say I think I've seen this article lemon twist if you're a Samantha. Oh my god. Oh god. I'll tell you what Samantha would love is that all these crayon

drinks help you with your UTIs. Yeah they do. Nice. They'll clean you right out. Give me more crayon drinks help you with your UTIs. Yeah, they do. Nice. They'll clean you right out. Oh, give me more crayon. Yeah, fellas, dip your dangle in a crayon. Get one little berry and eat, eat, eat. Hey, you know who probably loves these crayon drinks is

dog face, tick tock, skateboard. Fleetwood Mac guy. Yeah. What is he up to? He was, was that last summer? He was such a big deal. Yeah. Late last summer.

Cause I remember it was like early fall when Fleetwood Mac was back on the billboard charts. Cause of that. That's so funny. Hmm. Hmm. You should check out his, uh,

his tick tock. Now it's, it's very funny. Cause I mean, he's like a full-time influencer and quit his job and makes videos all day but it's like you know it started with his one very specific video so now now he's just doing the dances and doing the lip dubs and doing what everybody else does and it's really good i'm bringing it up to recommend it like it's

fucking awesome well this is a tough drink uh because it's very hot where I am. And so I'm in New York. It's about 91 outside. I got a, an AC doing its best to help me out. But this is like, uh, I'm chugging this cause I'm so thirsty and now I am drunk quickly.

Yeah. It feels like it would be a deceptive one. It's so juicy tasting. You don't realize when you toss them back. It happens folks. And, uh, I didn't do a straw to pace myself. Cause if I have a straw don't realize when you toss them back. It happens folks. And I didn't do a straw to pace myself. Because if I have a straw, this thing's going down real quick.

Oh, interesting. But with no straw, didn't you get all your lime in your first sip? No, I was going to stir the shit out of it. With what? With a stirrer, Tim. Don't you raise your voice at me! A stirrer. A stirrer. A stirrer.

It's the rural juror. Wait, you don't think I got stirrers? They're wood. They're made of wood. I use them for my coffee. They're biodegradable. I have stir sticks. Oh, you've got the coffee wooden ones.

There you go. Yeah, yeah. That's what he does. You know what I was, this is apropos of nothing, but it was a good time. I was remembering those chicken wings we had over at Ye Rustic. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. If you're

not a patron, patron of ours, we covered chicken wings at Ye Rustic on the blowout. And oh, they were so good. Hey, speaking of bar food, I have never had Cape Cod bar pizza. Have you? No. There's a specific type of a bar pie. It's like these personal size thin crusts that are really popular in Massachusetts. And Slopheads, let us know where I should go,

because I like bars. I like pizza. You do the math. You know what would be good on a pizza? A little grilled oyster. Oh, okay. I don't know about that. What? I think it would be. I remember on Allison Rosen's podcast, I talked about liking the shrimp pizza and everybody jumped down my fucking throat.

Yeah. I'm very hungry right now. That's why I'm thinking of old good meals I've had and future meals to be. You want to take a slimy little snot from the sea and put it on a pizza. I'd like to grill it with urban spice first. Urban spice.

Lay it upon circled dough. Sauce and cheese. Sauce and cheese will be a present. You can count on it Be careful because if you were paying attention to my drink intro Those mollusks are Aphrodisiacs Not a problem for me

How's it not a problem? Not a problem to get around Because those don't work on me Oh cool They don't work And I don't care um remember we uh uh back in the day we made a web series called horny beach and we were saying if we ever uh made a gigantic studio uh feature film based on it yes that the backstory of horny beach was just this very stupid, dirty kind of thing of like horny dudes at the beach playing on 80s shows.

It's like 80s movies. Yes. And we were saying if we made a movie that the backstory would be that an oyster tanker had a spill in the ocean on that beach so that everyone was horny. And the beach already had a high quotient of naturally existing oysters. So that wasn't part of it. But then there was an oyster tanker spill. Yeah, like a BP spill, but a tanker of oysters made everybody horny.

It's also just like a bad movie thing. They already have it, but now there's more of it. Yeah, it's like a perfect storm of two things. Yeah, an even more perfect storm. Perfect storm. I read that book and saw the movie. Did you guys ever see that movie? No. No, I remember having to read the book once for a summer reading thing in high school. There's a scene before they go out to sea, the sailor dudes go to a grocery store

and it's like, we get to load up for the whole trip. So they put, they're all pushing big, uh, you know, shopping carts around and like loading them up with groceries for, for like a three month at sea excursion. And I remember reading that and being like, Oh, that would be so fun to get those grocery carts. Have you ever, something about me, it's a very unique thing. Have you ever been on YouTube or something and seen footage of like huge ships in big, like stormy weather? Yeah. That makes, footage of that type of stuff makes me so uncomfortable.

Like the idea of being out in the ocean on a huge boat. Just getting tossed around. If I see one of those, it doesn't make me seasick or anything, but I'm just like, I hope I'm never in that situation ever. Easily avoided. Easily avoided, but something, if it comes upon my... If I look it up on YouTube, which I do

sometimes, it freaks me out. Well, you watch the video and then it gives you much gratitude that you're not in that situation. That's a good way of looking at it. I like looking at those huge, you know those ships that are just like cargo ships that have, what do you call those big rectangular? Shipping containers. Shipping containers. You know how many shipping containers there are in the world? There's like a billion, so many to the point that like now they like use them to build

homes for the homeless and stuff because we have too many. But if you're ever in like Long Beach and you see a ship coming in from Japan and it's just loaded up, it's so weird because it probably has so few humans on that boat. But then a hundred thousand shipping containers. It's freaky. Yeah. I know it's, it's crazy when you see something like that and it's like,

wow, there's just so much stuff out in the world that like needs to be made. You know what I do is I went, I was at San Pedro. I saw that happening. I took out my Amex and stood at the dock and said, I'll take all of it. Whoa.

Nice. And he opens up the cargo. It's all mink coats. Ooh. And you're getting this for cost, right? Because it doesn't have to go through a store. And hey, flip that mink. Make your money back.

And then some. Oh, yeah. We're talking about Bravo shows. Maybe flip that mink would be a good Bravo show for you. Flip that mink. We're going to give you one mink you gotta flip it this bozo weighs at the docks to buy cheap minks this show sucks and you're done for watching of one thing i remember about the perfect storm i think they shot that in new england like i want to say uh they shot bits of it in Boston or in Massachusetts somewhere. Sure. And I heard that George Clooney, Rapscallion that he is,

got Mark Wahlberg too drunk one night, and it cost him a shooting day. Wow. Back then it was always just like, ah, George Clooney, what a cut up. Now I think the tide has turned on those sort of shenanigans. Yeah, people don't really, A, I think it's very funny. Anytime people phrase it as like, sort of those sort of shenanigans yeah people don't really a i think it's very funny anytime

people phrase it as like this person got that people person drunk or you got me i would love to do that like with you guys if i get too drunk and barf and i'm like yeah jeff and mike got me drunk right does that just mean clooney was just like handing him drinks but not drinking drinks himself i mean it seems like walberg is somebody you could easily manipulate into he also seems like a non-drinker walberg is a wake up at 3 a.m and work out and pray type of guy yeah but because of his experience on the perfect storm i think before that he was i can't live that life probably a party well do you remember most famously um did you see danny devito drunk on limoncello on The View? No, that sounds great. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I didn't see it when it was happening, but it was

like a YouTube thing. Like, somebody dug it up and it went viral, but it's like Danny DeVito's like so cute and his hair is all puffed up and he's drunk and he's on The View and they're like, Danny, what's going on? He's like, Clooney took me out last night, man, and we didn't go home. Whoa!

Because I think that Clooney had a brand of limoncello and they did a tasting. Just little Danny DeVito probably gets drunk off one shot. What's Clooney's he has a tequila, right? Is that Casamigos? Casamigos was him. He may have sold it. I don't know. Oh, he flipped that tequila. I love Casamigos. I want to hate anything Clooney related, but that, he flipped that tequila. I love Casamigos. That's like, I want to hate anything Clooney related, but that's a good tasting tequila. Damn.

What about Fantastic Mr. Fox? Haven't seen it. Really? Oh, I think we got a blowout for coming up for this fall. I love Wes Anderson. I have not seen Moonbeam City or Mr. Fox. Moonbeam City is, that's Scott G gardner's uh department oh yeah no i brought that up just as something else i haven't seen a comedy central show uh what am i trying to say

rise kingdom yeah there you go moonrise kingdom yeah same syllables should we have cluny on the pod and see if we can out drink him to defend himself yeah we probably should he's gonna dump his casamigo shots into the plant behind him. We'll be taking shot after shot and then we're going to barf on our shoes. Hey, Clooney, wasn't that plant vibrant before? The plant is drunk? No, the plant's dead.

Yeah, I know. I was also saying a joke. All right. Well, the Cape Codders are doing their doing their their work as far as i'm concerned yeah and our uh urinary tracks feel fantastic with all this clean as a whistle hey i had an idea which was um since we're talking cape cod wouldn't it be kind of a cool thing to if we listen to some cape cod music oh oh that would be yeah that'd be cool okay because i have i've got a bit torrent open here and i was looking careful um yeah these

things can be kind of weird but do you guys know the song cape cod quasa quasa i do uh yeah it's it's a it's a great song oh if you don't know it it's Vampire Weekend it's a really good song maybe we oh I do know it yeah give this a listen it's hard to tell with these BitTorrents like if you have

the right version but I think this looks right oh okay this mp3 what BitTor are you using what Torrentor BitBoyTorrente

yeah you probably got this from probably got this from the Pirate Bay yeah Pirate Bay but no this don't worry about it this I got the m uh probably got this from the pirate bay yeah pirate bay but no this uh don't worry about it this this i got the mp3 and this looks yeah that looks great so it looks good i mean we have the mp3 good yeah i won't i won't worry about it you want to play it uh let's

listen great sure uh sounds right yeah so far so good yeah okay remix yeah oh what the oh yes professor pecker young sneeze we're all up in your fears if you want to hear a banger well here one is yeah professor pecker and young sneeze yeah top down pedal metal driving out to the cape Professor Pecker and Young Sniz? Yeah. Young Sniz?

Top down, pedal metal, driving out to the Cape. But we don't drink cran, no, we only like grape. Talking Welch's, talking Fanta, Laffy Taffy and wine. If you don't got those, then cranberry's fine. Oh, you little motherfuckers better. Whoa, you nasty naughty bitches better. Yes, you freaking little people better not tell my parents that we Everyone welcome to the late late show everybody

Thank you for being here. Thank you for making the trip. I really appreciate it. I really, really appreciate it. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That was not the original version. No, that was not the original version.

And you know what I thought for a second? That was Dr. Benedicto in Little Thriller, but... No, it's Little Pecker and young sniz i i know about these guys from just they're in the same fucking genre of shit so they're like i guess professor pecker and young sniz are like competitors of dr benedicto and i mean competing for what though is the thing that they're so competing for the bottom i guess the lowest of the low for anyone listening i think this has come up more on our Patreon than our main feed show, but Dr. Benedicto and Lil Thrilla,

they just do these remixes, like Aperol Spritz and stuff like that. They're just like, we're not huge fans. Some people like them, but we're not huge fans. No, they suck. But this is just weird to know that there's other rap teams out there that are doing these yeah yeah remixes

it suggests this sprawling world of like shitty artists making crap yeah like duos that are kind of like wimpy and whiny and like grimy and shitty and like a whole universe of this stuff I wonder because I haven't heard much of um professor

prick and uh little young sniz yeah sniz or snooze what was it I heard I haven't heard much of Professor Prick and Young Sniz. Yeah. Sniz or Snooze? What was it? I heard, this is my first time hearing of them, but I heard Young Sniz. Young Sniz and Professor Prick. Yeah, I have heard of them, but I haven't really heard them. But yeah, there's this weird like Gen Z thing that's happening where people want to listen

to like the shittiest rap that's ever been made. I get it. And I guess us as millennials, we should keep our hearts open to it and not be too judgmental. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I know,

but it's just, I just don't, I don't get it. Don't get it yet. It's funny though that this, that you found this on BitTorrent as that vampire weekend song. I know they mislabel these MP3s. I'm quitting this BitTorrent that I was using.

I'm just going gonna pay for streaming from now on good you learned your lesson tim yep smart i'm actually happy this happened it's a happy accident and if that becomes part of your regular practice you know hopefully we never hear from these guys again i pray i can only pray so i don't think yeah hopefully we don't because it's too much and hopefully maybe a third group doesn't show up that we have to listen to. Let's not open that camera. No, let's not. Let's not open that.

I wouldn't want it. I hate it. None of us like it. All right, let's go make a second round, and we'll come back with final thoughts. Hell yes. All right, folks, we'll be back. Hey, folks, we're back with our final thoughts.

This is an order again. Same night for me. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I like this. I probably wouldn't do more than three and then I'd switch to a beer or something because it is a little, you know, sugary and tart. Sugary and juicy. Yes, I think I would maybe as the night went, I would play with my ratios and go a little less juicy, but this is delightful. It's stuff you're going to have in your house. Easy to, a lot of the stuff we have on this show, it's a whole event and you spend $40.

This could be in my normal repertoire. So simple. And it really is, the lime really does. Like if I'm at a, I know I said I put way too much lime in it, but if I went to a bar and told them put lime in it, I'd probably say like lean on the lime there a little bit because I feel like a bar wouldn't do as much lime. Yeah.

Lean on the lime. Lean on it. I might do the VSS vodka soda splash too because I like the sound of a little bubbler on top. Ah! The tickle of the tongue. Jeff, what about you? Yeah, it's an order again. You know, an order of two at once give me a double type situation for me.

And then, you know, Mike, I share your concerns with too much juice. I don't want to get juiced out. Cranberry is nice, though. I don't have cranberry around the house, generally speaking. You never think of it. You never think of it. And then you get it and you

suck it down, that tart tipple. I think just doing a cranberry juice and lime on its own would be a good... You know what it reminds me of is a lime Ricky, but that's raspberry, not cranberry,

right? Or cherry, isn't it? Oh, you might be right. You probably do different ones, right? I was always thrown by that as a kid because they call it a lime Ricky, but there it is sitting all red. Clearly not. It's not predominantly lime. Red isn't green is what you say uh this is one of those drinks that like uh you know sometimes we think about

what's the best or what are some other options for uh brunch yeah drinks i think this is a brunch drink hey oh yeah that's smart but you'd never you would never drink a mimosa at night, but this one you could drink at night too. It's an all-day drink. This whole genre we've been playing in, the sex on the beach, the fuzzy navel, and all these variations, they're pretty brunchy, man. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. Well, that kind of does it for the drink. Pretty much covers that. Do you guys want to do a quiz? Oh my god! Ha ha ha! Caught me off guard there. Uh, yeah, sure. This

quiz, my friends, is, and Jeff, when I do this maybe you put like a cool sound to it and yeah, we'll do something cool with this. It's the Cape Quiz! Oh my god. A fiendishly devised And yeah, we'll do something cool with this. It's the Cape Quiz. Oh my God.

A fiendishly devised quiz to test your knowledge on all things Cape. Okay. All right. My mind is already going in a million different directions. It should be. And you should be scared as hell. All right. Here we go.

It's the Cape Quiz. People have been wanting it. Here we go. It's the Cape Quiz. People have been wanting it. Here we go. The Simpsons episode where Sideshow Bob is released from prison causing a scared Simpson family to join a witness protection program and relocate to Terror Lake is an homage to what movie?

Cape Fear. I got Tim first on that one. Hold on, I gotta write these points down. I got Tim first on that one. Yeah, baby. Fuck. Hold on. I got to write the points down. I should re-watch the De Niro version of that. That's a good movie. I watched it over quarantine. It's crazy.

Does he still have tattoos on his fingers? Mm-hmm. It's great. I mean, it's an intense movie. They didn't take those out? No. They didn't. Okay.

Tim's got one. Is that Scorsese? Scorsketsky, yeah. Ah, Scorsketsiano. Okay. We all know I own a Cape Cod t-shirt that my mom bought me

for Christmas after I failed to acquire one through an email with the famous potato chip company. What other item of Cape Cod

potato chip clothing do I own? Winter hat. Wow, Timothy. Yay, baby. Check it out, Mike's headwear. I love it. If I see Mike in a hat, I say, I got to remember that for later.

And that's a winter hat. Huh? It's a winter hat. A knit cap. A knit cap. Knit hat with a little fuzz ball on top. Oh, shit. It's a great hat. It's a great hat.

It's a nice hat. The song Cape Cod Quassa Quassa was recorded by which band? Are you saying originally? Originally or the remix? Oh, yeah, good point. I had written this quiz before I had even known about the remix. Okay. Because I would have said Professor Pecker. So even known about the remix. Okay. I would have said

Professor Pecker. Jeff, you get the point. Jeff, you get the point on that one. The song Walcott, which also mentions Cape Cod several times, was recorded by which band? Vampire Weekend. Tim's got it.

I thought that would ruffle, whoever didn't get this question, I thought that would really ruffle their feathers being like we just did a Vampire Weekend one I like it I say stick to it here we go number I don't know what number one

there have been many a film made featuring the Caped Crusader which well of course we all know Batman's the Caped cape player which is my favorite batman the the tim burton one no adam west the dark knight no no no no no oh shit oh shit lego batman bingo Lego Batman. Bingo! Michael, better than the Heath Ledger Dark Knight? You know, the Lego Batman is so funny. I've seen it a couple times.

It really makes me laugh. But yes, I love Heath Ledger. We saw it at the AMC Burbank, and I couldn't believe how much this guy liked this movie. So Mike loves the mike loves the lego movie jeff is always talking about trying to get me to do legos i'm my life is surrounded by these little plastic bricks yeah yeah snappable bricks yeah okay okay okay next one we're at three to two this jeff i'm gonna need you to play a clip on this one okay great clip number one cool name the artist and or song that samples this sound clip that

samples this sound clip yes if you're fond of sand dunes and salty oh fuck no groove armada that's right jeff with the groove armada yes what's the song called it's called At the River yeah oh my god and it's

those are the only like lyrics of it just those samples of that's Patty Page singing Old Cape Cod and it's a really funny song because the next verse

if you want to keep playing it's like if you dream of lobster stew if you like the taste of lobster stew not quite as sexy as sand dunes yeah not too many pop songs these days are mentioning a lobster stew i am such a sucker for that like that uh early aughts era of sort of like trip hoppy, break beaty stuff that samples old stuff. Like Moby being like, There's something about Fatboy Slim in that world too, I think. There's something about that genre of music,

and let me know if you feel this too, the art and graphic design for it is not my style. Oh, yeah? It's like Jurassic 5 has the same look. I'm just like, oof, I do not like that. Here we go. Okay. I can't picture it.

On Amazon.com, I did a search in men's clothing for capes and cloaks. Without going over, how much was the first product I clicked on oh or the first product that comes up 49.99 wait what hold on i'm unclear on what we're doing without going so i went on amazon.com i looked up oh our answer can't go over okay uh yeah the first thing i'm gonna say you could get a cloak on Amazon for $22 Tim you are closer without going over it was 197 $197 I would think like the first one would be the cheapy Amazon choice one that's cheap you would think but I also wonder like I've bought I've purchased several like Halloween costumes on Amazon over the years yeah I wonder if or I've like searched Halloween costumes on Amazon over the years. Yeah. I wonder if, or I've searched for costumes.

I wonder if they put that. Oh, yeah. They pinned you as a sucker who's going to buy a cape for $120. Right. It's called, I'll tell you what it's called. It's called the Men's Gothic Vintage Long Cape Coat Party Cloak. Oh, I know that one. That's actually a really good cloak.

Jeff, I'm going to give you a bonus here because if you get it, you'll be tied and then it comes down to the last question. Okay. Bonus. Is there an extra charge on shipping? I think if you're paying that much, the shipping's got to be free.

You nailed it! We are tied! Jeff, I'm going to hand it to you. You absolutely fucking nailed that one. Yeah, that's good reasoning, too. Oh, I went with my heart. Okay, okay. The last question.

The Cape Man was a musical play opening in 1998. Holy shit. Yeah, baby. Wow. Sorry, Duddy. Damn. You've got to know your Paul Simon.

It was a musical play opening in 1998 for only 68 performances that the Time Magazine referred to as one of the biggest flops in Broadway history. What famous New Yorker, also known as a collaborator of a curly-haired crooner, wrote the musical? Curly. So that would have given it away. I wouldn't have known anything,

but when I heard curly-haired crooner, you're like, okay, so Art Garfunkel. Who's Art Garfunkel usually associated with? Art Garfunkel's former friend. That was Paul Simon and Derek Walcott are credited for books and lyrics. And Derek Walcott, how about that? We were just talking about him Derek Walcott are credited for books and lyrics. And Derek Walcott, how about that? We were just talking about it.

Hey! Walcott. Okay, so Tim, you win the Cape quiz. Good for you, Jeff. You gave up a good fight there, but you got to be quicker on the question. Just blurt something out. Quicker and smarter. Yeah.

It helps to be really quick, really smart with these quizzes. Yes, always. I'm proud to have won, and as my prize, I'd like to share this anecdote. The one time I went to see Paul Simon at the Hollywood Bowl, and I was sitting directly behind Randy Newman. Oh, that's cool. And he was bopping around. That's very cool. I got a video of his little head bopping around.

I'll share a little, I'll share a Cape Cod anecdote. When I was there with my family, I think it was going into ninth grade. And it was every time I've the two times my family's been to Cape Cod, it has rained the entire week in the summertime. So we went to the beach. It was like one of those days where it's like, it's not really that sunny, but we got to go to the beach. And there was a lot of people there because it was the same thing. It was just like, we're all here, so let's at least go. And I'm on the beach. I'm having fun.

I go in the water, and the waves are splashing in, and I'm jumping up in them. And I had a moment where I'm facing the beach. There are a lot of people on the beach looking at me. And I jump up into a wave that's coming from behind me. The wave rips my pants down to my ankles oh and there i am sort of riding this wave for like a whole minute dick first towards the shore little cold tiny ninth grade dick yeah and you know like when

you're when you're surfing you want to stay on the wave yeah and then you can't get off this thing fast you couldn't get off that thing you were you were pinned want to stay on the wave, and you can't stay on. I couldn't get off this thing fast enough. You couldn't get off that thing. You were pinned on the crest of that wave for two whole minutes. Jeez, Luis. Showing what I got. Mike, that put a mental image in my head that I can't get out. Yeah, a few more Cape Codders for us, please. Get that thing out of our way.
