Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Did I do that? And Tim Kalpakis. Got any cheese? And we're your hosts. It is Urkel night here tonight. I was going to say you should do the cheese one.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Oh, well, I said it. And now that that fun has been had, I can say what is up to all the slopheads. And I want to ask the slopheads, did I do that? Yeah. If you think Mike did it, you know, email us. Hashtag Urkel done did it. Doesn't Urkel have like a slew of catchphrases? He's got lesser known ones.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Yeah, you got in cheese. Hi, Carl. I'm Stefan now. Right, right. I'm in love with Laura, but also Maya. and he's got that catchphrase like hey i turned that little porta body into well a transmogrifier hold on i'm finding them all his catchphrases yeah well so what's the beginning of uh the beginning of like that family matter show?
Starting point is 00:01:26 I think when he was saying like got any cheese, the the rumor about it was that like he ate his lab rat or something. There is like mouse or something in science class. So the lab rat is in the stomach wanting cheese. So that's what that's what I was to infer. Well, do you guys remember these little gems i've fallen and i can't get up uh-huh yeah i don't have to take this i'm going home yeah that's that was funny he did that well did i do that we all know whoa mama sounds more of an eddie line but okay. And look what you did. You know what's funny about catchphrases is, well, they are funny, depending on the catchphrase, I guess.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Of course. We're writers, right? Yeah. Sure. Sure. I'm an Emmy-nominated writer, but it's easy to say, Oh, catchphrases, but I have caught myself writing a script and kind of trying to do a catchphrase and it's really hard.
Starting point is 00:02:33 So I do think other than just making a character say a thing, a lot of times, the idea of coming up with a catchphrase that sticks is a little bit baffling to me because I've, I've snuck it in with a little pilot scripts. I've said, this guy, he said this line in the cold open, and then he said it again in the tank. Well, you got a catchphrase on this damn show.
Starting point is 00:02:54 What is up? That's right. You've branded yourself a catch. What does catchphrase come to? What's the catch part of it? Well, catch is like when you grasp something, and phrase is an expression or sentence. Yes, yes, yes. It's catchy. So catch
Starting point is 00:03:07 Oh, it's a catchy phrase. Yes, the audience catches it. It's a catchy phrase. I would have never thought of that. A catchphrase. What's a catchphrase? It's a catchy phrase. Yep. Well, not to bring the room down to a, from a hot
Starting point is 00:03:24 boil to a simmer, but we lost another one to this invisible foe that's been creeping across our nation for the last about two years. Yeah, and you can hear it in the last episode. Tim, you're quite froggy. Also, wait, when you say we lost one, you mean we had a positive COVID test amongst our band. Lost 110s, Mike, usually people will use that for casualties. Yes, right. I just mean we lost one in terms of our, right, I shouldn't make light of, because people did lose people.
Starting point is 00:03:55 But I meant more so in terms of we had a clean record going. We were 0 for 3, and now we're 2 for 3 with COVID. Well, Tim, tell your story. I've got Covfefe. I've got it right now. And it's so funny because, guys, last week, I think that pandemic historians can study this podcast because last week we were talking about the hop, skip, and go naked.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Hanford was staying at my place, and we were having a lot of FaceTime. We were yucking it up, watching TV, talking. We'd face each other, and the TV would be on to our left and right. Yeah, we put the TVs over our shoulders so we could each see. But while we were recording the hop, skip, and go naked episode,
Starting point is 00:04:42 a drink that required us all to be in the kitchen mixing up a punch bowl together. Right. Remember when we were like setting up, we were talking and I hadn't even clocked it myself. But Jeff, you said, ooh, Tim sounded a little froggy. And I said, yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:01 And you said, watch it. Right. I remember. And I was like, this And you said, watch it. Right. I remember. And I was like, this guy's got Delta paranoia because he thinks everyone gets Delta. And during the podcast, if you go back and listen to, there are two coughs, one toward the beginning, one toward the end that are maybe my first two COVID coughs. Oh, boy. And then me and Mike were watching Team America World Police, which absolutely holds up. This is after the record?
Starting point is 00:05:31 Right after the record. And we shooed you out of the house, Jeff. So I said, okay, he's gone. Let's put on Team America. Yeah, because Jeff, you were like, you guys aren't going to watch any of that puppet shit, are you? No, absolutely not. You said, if you watch anything
Starting point is 00:05:45 make sure it's live action humans yeah we're not watching flesh we're not we're not actually watching crank anchors nothing nothing we promise we promise and you've kind of backed out of the door like okay i'm gonna trust you guys um anyway mike uh we're we're watching this movie i start to get some sinus pain. And that's like my thing. Once a year, I get sinus pain. I go to the doctor. They say, Tim, you got another one of your classic sinus infections.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Here's a Z-Pak. You'll be over it in a week. Right. Set your watch. Do it. But I had a stack of home COVID tests. So willy-nilly, happy-go-lucky, I cruise into the kitchen. Mike's watching the movie. Oh, no-go-lucky, I cruise into the kitchen. Mike's watching
Starting point is 00:06:25 the movie. Oh no, we finished the movie. I left early. You were complaining about your nose and I said I can't watch the movie. You couldn't hear the movie. You couldn't quite hear the characters over. Like, Cytus is... Thank you. I'll go in my
Starting point is 00:06:42 room and read. But I go in the kitchen as I'm kind of closing up shop for the night. I take a COVID test. And, you know, maybe people can relate to this. When you take a COVID test, you want that negative result. Yeah. Yeah. There's a home COVID test.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Home COVID. I took it. Positive. Yeah. I take another. I take another. another i take another i take a different brand so i've got three positives from one brand and one positive for another i text mike i have covid frowny face i think jessica i have covid frowny face i quarantine myself in the front uh sleeping on the couch next morning i go I go get a professional test.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Positive, positive. I've been quarred up. Yeah. And I wouldn't say I'm asymptomatic because those are symptoms, right? Sinus. You lost your sense of taste, right? Or smell? Later.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Yeah, kind of the same time frame as Jeff, where I had this for like four days. And then I was like, I think I'm through it. And then suddenly, suddenly you know what's funny is i um i'm bored out of my mind stuck inside so i i had gone i've been trying to go outside a lot and steer clear of all humans like by like 100 feet but i've been like hiking in griffith park on in my solitude and i came back a hike, and I was kind of depressed getting back from this hike because I was like, well, that was my activity for the day. What the fuck else am I going to do?
Starting point is 00:08:09 So I was like, I know, kind of achy from that big hike. I'm going to take a bath. I don't do that. That's something that people do. I haven't taken a bath in a decade. Yeah, that sounds decadent. And then I take out, I reach for Jessica's fancy bath accoutrement,rement right she's got epsom salts and she's got eucalyptus flavors and these are things that are odorous these are fragrant these are fragrant
Starting point is 00:08:36 objects yeah right and and i get ready to bat i i jam my big schnoz into the eucalyptus salt and I get ready to take a deep sniff and I go nothing. Wow. Nothing. Then I had kind of fun, uh, testing kind of running around. I smelled all the, this, the seasonings in my spice cabinet. Yeah. I did liquors. That can be fun. I took, I think I was maybe getting more than you,
Starting point is 00:09:05 Jeff, because I, I get no flavor, but I do feel sensations on my tongue for salt. Ooh. Okay. Spiciness. I ate a hot pepper and that still burned me.
Starting point is 00:09:17 And then I took a shot of like the highest proof alcohol I have. I've got some like rum that's like one 60 proof and it still burned the shit out of my mouth. Yeah. But it's like, you don't register as is it, you don't register it as a taste as much as like, Oh, my nerves are definitely being stimulated. Just to burn. Cut through, cut through the noise.
Starting point is 00:09:34 But I've been eating a lot. I thought I would, I told myself, Hey, I may as well just eat raw vegetables for a week and get really healthy. But that's what I said. Well, you know what I found? What? for a week and get really healthy. That's what I said.
Starting point is 00:09:43 You know what I found? What? You know, chicken wings are still a dynamic meal because you bring, be it a drummer flat, you lift it up to the face, you poke the tongue through, and the salt, the vinegar, the spice is nice. And I've been eating chicken wings every day. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Oh, no, Tim. All right. Not even avoiding the carrots and celery on the chicken wings. Yeah, those go straight into the trash. Actually, you know, weird one. I kind of get salad dressing too. Ranch, which is not a powerful thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Ranch dressing is doing something for me. So I have been slathering that on my food as well. So you're still not tasting it's still bad you're still it's still bad i'm i'm bummed because i'm excited for tonight's drink maybe the taste will come back just in time but i'm in general i'm fine with the whole thing i i had a panic you know day one with covid last week on the podcast we we we talk so flagrantly about how we had just been at the Tamo shanter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:47 And I had eaten a prime rib and we had had some martinis and stuff. So I had a lot of guilt when I got my negative test, positive tests. I just like, I had all these flashes of like indoor talking maskless to people, which I have not done. Like, uh,
Starting point is 00:11:04 right. But I think I got this thing at a Dodger game. And then the day after the Dodger game, I was indoor at the Tam O'Shanter talking to maybe like 10 of our friends, like one at a time for 15 minutes. And I ate that prime rib and never put my mask back on after eating. So I had like a, you know, a few days of texting people and be like, got kids can you get tested or you I you see your parents maybe you should get tested yeah and then all of those people like six or seven people have texted me that they tested negative so then the pressure's off I don't really care anymore well you're I mean dear yeah slophead listener you're probably
Starting point is 00:11:40 wondering well Mike was in the house the whole time. He was in there for a week. Four tests, all negative. Mike, you are very resistant to this disease. I think so. I did a home test with you, then two more before I left for LA or for New York. And when I got back to New York, I took another one. It was fine. All negative. You know what's funny? You were talking about, you texted me, I got COVID. I didn't see that. And I got up to go to the bathroom and you poked your head out and you're like, Mike, I got COVID. And I was like, cause I was tired. I was like, oh man. That's all you could muster. Oh man. Sorry dude. Well, since then you left the next day and I've been sleeping in this little room where you were sleeping.
Starting point is 00:12:30 It's a funny little couch. It's a little too short and you got to bend the knees. You got to do a little, yeah, a little gymnastics on that thing. But once you find the right spot, you're in for the night. You haven't left that room? Oh, I'm sleeping.ica's sleeping in the master um i haven't gone in that room and then when you know we we've been like you know at night we'll watch ted lasso together and i sit 20 feet away from her and we both have masks on yeah yeah and she's negative too right she has continued she gets tested almost every day and
Starting point is 00:13:04 she's still negative. Amazing. You know, we've been having dinner like facing each other from like across the room and the whole fucking, you know. But. When are you done with your quarantining? I think I got to make it through three more days. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Then you can go outside. The taste is back, and you're back to normal. Well, I've been going out. I've been diligent in the apartment, but you know me, I'm a people person. I got to go out and socialize.
Starting point is 00:13:32 So I've been, I've gone up and down the Sunset Strip a few more times. That's glad-handing. Actually, I did, I have some regrets. The other day,
Starting point is 00:13:41 I went to the beach and I posted on the Sloppy, but you know, a lot of people are, I've got very kind. People are saying, Tim, get well soon,
Starting point is 00:13:49 get well soon. Yeah. And I wanted to show people that I, that I'm fine and I appreciate the concern. So I posted this video like, Hey everybody, I'm on the beach. And a few people rightly.
Starting point is 00:13:58 So we're like, what the fuck are you doing? I saw that, but I assume you would have been like very far away from people i was so i i didn't touch anything i didn't like i i was nowhere near anyone and i was out i went to the very end of the beach but in the video you can you can see a guy behind me and even when i watched the video back i was like i think i get that close like i was truly like a hundred feet away from everyone and then there's this big fat jag off behind me who's kind of yucking it up.
Starting point is 00:14:26 But I mean, he was truly 25 feet away. But in the video, it kind of makes him look kind of close. Oh, sure. Well, that's a lens thing. Yeah, totally. Oh, yeah. Well, and I had put on, you know, I just switched lens from a 70 to a 50 right before that shot. Yeah, that'll do it.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Yeah. That's pretty dope. Well, Tim, I mean, get better as soon as you can. We miss you tasting stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:50 I miss tasting stuff too. We miss that. We miss that famous this is good tasting to me. The flavor is coming right through.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Yes. Sounded a little bit like the big hand Bopper, who, to all the listeners of this podcast, if you subscribe to our Patreon, it's often hosted by the Big Hand Bopper. The Big Hand Bopper shows up over there a lot. He wouldn't be showing up here, of course,
Starting point is 00:15:16 and I'm not going to do it here because... No, this is free. No, this is different. This is free. You didn't pay the extra money for a character. And every once in a while you hear Wolfman Tim, then I'm not going to do that here either. Wolfman Tim shows up and then
Starting point is 00:15:29 nobody, another third little radio guy doesn't come in at all. Sort of crickets over here so far. Yeah, so far. Don't worry, we believe you. Maybe he's going to find a Casey Kasem type character. Maybe. Jeffy Jeffsum. Casey Kasem is the voice
Starting point is 00:15:45 of Shaggy in Scooby-Doo. Isn't that crazy? He's the voice of reason when it comes to the top 40, in my opinion. Everyone's weighing in with opinions that are way off and then Casey Kasem comes in. He's the voice of reason. He's the voice of fucking reason, finally. Well, that's a great
Starting point is 00:16:01 little update, Tim. And Mike, if you get it, we can't do a third deep dive on everyone's covet experience you're gonna have to condense it this is crazy i mean like this covet is is taking my band away from me i'm out there yeah we couldn't i'm auditioning new people right now yeah yeah and you bring in we've talked about this before. It should be you and a couple of voice actors. Casey Kasem would be pretty good. Oh, that would be good. Right. Maybe I could get the real, a real Tony Soprano impressionist. Two impressionists and I'll be the third and we'll do like a Tony Soprano. Same format, but it's just the Sopranos host. The
Starting point is 00:16:41 prescription pod. How about this, Mike? You get the guys that did the singing for Millie and Vanilli. Ooh, that would be good. They had good voices. They didn't really have the look, though, so they'd be good on pods. Right, and I got the look. Yeah, you got the look. I got the look. Yeah, you do.
Starting point is 00:16:58 And Jeff makes a good point. After hearing two deep dives on our COVID situations, next week, if Mike has it, we just say COVID moving on. Yep. He had COVID and it's like everyone else's and, uh, he's fine. Yep.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Oh, Tim, it is funny that yours was just like, ah, I get this every year. Cause that, that was my thing too. Well,
Starting point is 00:17:18 I think that the thing with COVID is it's a shape shifter and it, the symptoms you get are the ones you're prone to. So, so it shows you yourself. Yeah, I had small dick syndrome. Yeah, wait a second. I have huge dick syndrome. All right, enough COVID.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Enough. Enough of it. Enough. We've had it. It's enough. We don't want it. And let's get into the drink of the day. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Well, we may have had COVID, but when it comes to the sidecar you've had. Oh, Tim, I'm so happy to announce I just had a sidecar at the Dresden. You did? Oh! Just now, like a couple days ago. They make good drinks, too, so this will be a good, know you know what to expect i think oh yes now what uh it's funny you say dresden because i've not had but i know this drink from i know it's an old school classic because i've seen it on the menu at the dresden i always get a martini but then i see the sidecar and musso and frank also sidecars on the menu
Starting point is 00:18:22 what motivated you to pull the trigger and order it? Did you know we were doing this drink? No. No, no. That's part of why I, Tim, when you were like, how about any of these? I was like, oh, Sidecar. I went with a friend or two. And we each sort of had like, oh, I'm going to try the Manhattan here.
Starting point is 00:18:39 I'm going to try the old fashioned here. And, you know, you get two or three friends. You have two or three cocktails. You're all sipping each other's. COVID, you know, you get two or three friends, you have two or three cocktails, you're all sipping each others. COVID, that's a very cool thing. Oh, boy. And then
Starting point is 00:18:52 you start to go down the line and you see like, I've heard of a sidecar. I'm going to try it. You don't know. I'm walking down the bar with a straw. You got to pay the tax, man. Now, that kind of leads into my point that we're not smart men.
Starting point is 00:19:16 The three of us, our brains don't exactly have, they don't carry a lot of information in them. They don't have many wrinkles. They don't hold water, so to speak. don't carry a lot of information in them but they don't have many wrinkles cold water so to speak there's there there but here's one thing that we have the three of us have managed to learn on this podcast and that is a sour what is a sour you guys know what a sour is right whiskey sour three things what are the three factors that can make a drink that is entitled a sour? Citrus. I want to say a lemon.
Starting point is 00:19:49 A lemon. A syrup. Yeah. Yes. And then a soda? Yep. A liquor. So maybe we're not as smart as you.
Starting point is 00:20:01 You look so disappointed. I haven't really been taking any of this stuff in. This is maybe the old, no. The main thing we've learned on this pod is there's a common tiki confusion about blue Hawaiian, blue Hawaiian. Yep. Other thing we learned is
Starting point is 00:20:14 you want to make a good tiki cocktail, put a lot of different rums and a squeeze of lime and then one different ingredient. But the real building block to cocktails that we've learned yes is a sour is liquor something citrus and something sweet sweet so so that was the whiskey sour whiskey lemon sugar uh someday we'll do the daiquiri which we've discussed but that's rum lime sugar
Starting point is 00:20:46 fucking we talked about the fucking margarita we said that's tequila lime triple sec triple sex a sweet thing yeah now wait a minute was it what was the um what was the who's who oh boy who's that old author who wrote uh for whom the bell tolls hemingway now the hemingway daiquiri that we did that one yes and it was basically that Oh, boy. Who's that old author who wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls? Hemingway. Hemingway. Now, the Hemingway daiquiri, we did that one. Yes, and it was basically the rum, lime, sugar, but then with a little grapefruit instead of the sugar because he was diabetic.
Starting point is 00:21:16 And a little maraschino for some fun. But our beloved Trinidad sour is bitters, lemon, orgeat. Orgeat is an almond syrup that you find in Mai Tai, so there you go. Oh, yeah, Trinidad sour is bitters, lemon or shot or shot is an almond syrup that you find in, in my ties. So there you go. It's a spirit. Yeah. It's a sweet thing. Go ahead. I guess I was just thrown off cause you're like, so what makes a sour and you're right.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Those are all sours, but I think of them as just like, that's just a shitload of cocktails. Right. load of cocktails right i mean that is kind of most of the the unforgettables and old cocktails on the iba list are basically that but you know i think it's in your normal life when you are in the mood for a drink let's say you got a hot date you know and and your hot date is sitting out on the couch like oh make me a drink big boy and you go into your kitchen like what the fuck what the fuck am i gonna make for this chick man she's she's all fucking ready to go uh-huh and you reach for all you need to know is one alcohol one sweet thing one sour thing damn basically yeah well you can reach for the sweet thing or you could also be a sweet thing yourself that's always
Starting point is 00:22:23 nice on a date yeah we're gonna be a sweet thing yourself. That's always nice on a date. Yeah, or you could be a sour thing. You'll be sweet. Yeah, don't be sour. Be sweet. Not me. Bitter. The Trinidad boy toy. Lumber boy.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Okay. The sidecar is cognac lemon triple sec. That was a long way of saying that. So where does it come from? You know, hey, Paris in the 20s kind of uh i like to think of it as a movable feast it's kind of a city of lights i guess you could say there's there's a bar this is kind of a cloudy history here but there's a bar i've been to called harry's new york bar in paris and it's harry's in paris that's what's funny is that it's, I went there because it's funny to see a New York themed bar in Paris.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Like they have all these like football college penance on the wall and it's acting like a merit, like an American college bar, but you're in Paris. Um, that's cool. That's crazy. And they,
Starting point is 00:23:18 they've, they've been credited with like, if not totally inventing being in the conversation for like the the bloody mary the boulevardier the french 75 the monkey gland um and the sidecar is one one of those but it's funny because i was reading up on the history of this harry of harry's bar he came out with a kind of a formative important cocktail guide called thes and Mixing Cocktails. And in the first edition of his book, he says that the sidecar was invented by Pat McGarry at the Bucks Club in London. Michael, you told us about the Bucks Club.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Dukes, I've been to. No, no. The Bucks Fizz in our mimosa episode. We talked about the Bucks Fizz, which is from the Bucks fizz in our, in our mimosa episode. Oh yeah. We talked about the Bucks fizz, which is from the Bucks club. Anyway. So Harry was like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:24:09 this, the sidecar was invented at the Bucks club. And then late in later editions of Harry's book, he's like, the sidecar was invented by me at my bar. And then, but then there's this other important book called cocktails and how to mix them.
Starting point is 00:24:22 That's an old one. And they say it was the Bucks club. Yeah. Some people say it was the Bucks Club. Yeah. Some people say it was the Ritz Paris who, Mike, you've mentioned them before because they invented the bee's knees. Nice. It was another Hemingway hangout. That's where when World War I ended, Hemingway and his buddies went to the Ritz and they
Starting point is 00:24:41 had 50 martinis waiting for them and they had a big booze fest. Anyway, some people say it's from New Orleans. Either way, it's European most likely. It's probably the Bucks Club in London. But I think the reason for the French and the New Orleans lore is probably
Starting point is 00:24:58 just because cognac is a French kind of a thing. As far as the name, there's a myth that, uh, uh, an American army captain pulled up to Harry's in a sidecar of a motorcycle, went in, invented the drink, and then rode off in his sidecar. Um, Dale DeGroff, legendary New York bartender. He says, New York bartender. He says COVID.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Oh, yowch. Dale DeGroff says it probably came from when you, if you're mixing a drink, you make too much and you pour a little into a sidecar. Kind of like the martinis at Musso and Frank. You get a little sidecar. So maybe this was somebody's extra from some other drink
Starting point is 00:25:41 or we don't really know about the name. But let's just all agree probably the european thing from the 20s while america was in prohibition this got popular in europe came over here took the world by storm you can get it to the dresden you can get it at musso and frank's and the recipe is 50 milliliters cognac. 50? 50. 50. That's a nip. That's a nip size.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Yeah, that's exactly a nip size. I got a nip cavassier. Go ahead. Right. And so brandy will work. Cognac is brandy that meets some certain cognac standards. 20 milliliters of triple sec. Love it.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Can do that? Quite often people recommend Cointreau. I'm not going to do that because I probably ain't going to taste shit. But if you guys have it, go for it. I'm going to do it. Yeah. 20 milliliters fresh lemon juice. Cool.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker. Shake well with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. well with ice strain into a chilled cocktail glass garnish not applicable but i have seen a lot of like sugared rims where you yes you put put maybe on half the glass you rub a sugar oh like a lemon wedge that's what dresden does oh yeah yeah dresden does it and then also they do a house curacao also uh probably instead of triple sec i. Yes. You know what you can also do? If you don't have cognac or triple sec, use Grand Marnier because that's orange cognac. Hello.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Two birds, one stone. Wait, say again. It was 50-20-20? 50-20-20. Great. Those are also my measurements as you work your way down my body. Watch yourself.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Hey, no, I didn't even answer. This is a never had, never heard for me. Never heard? Never heard. Wow. I mean, I've heard of it as we were discussing. Just blissful ignorance over there, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Not so blissful either. What frustrated ignorance. After I said the name like a couple dozen times i saw your ears start to perk up oh sidecar what's that interesting something i should probably start listening to you saying it right to me and then you kind of held up one of those old-timey ear horns and you leaned in what's that you say all right well we could do this all day but i think i want to make this oh boy that was almost a bopper.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Almost a bopper. The big hand bopper isn't coming out in this free episode. Let's go make the drink. Folks, we'll be right back. And we're back. Sidecars in hand. They look good. They do look good.
Starting point is 00:28:33 This is a cool-looking little thing. And I like getting to use some of our fancier glasses, much like the Yellowbird. I like anything that's classed up a little bit. I need to up my glassware game. People on Instagram, they've been seeing me use this same glass over and over again. I've got to get a nice coupe. I need to up my glassware game. People on Instagram, they've been seeing me use this saying glass over and over again. I got to get a nice coupe. I got to get a nice martini. Well, look at
Starting point is 00:28:52 this. I got this like Jameson when you buy like a... Oh, yeah. A gift box. It's one of those Jameson gift box things. It's got the little logo on there. You were talking about yellowbirds. This Labor Day, I went out into the park with some friends. I made some yellowbirds.
Starting point is 00:29:07 We were all up in the yellowbird tree. In the tree, yes, of course. It really is a nice one to surprise people with because people like it. It's refreshing, but they go, I've never had this. I've never had anything like it. Did you invent this? Yes, I invented this. Basically.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Now, when Labor Day was over, were you a little reluctant to come back down from the Yellow Brick Tree? Yeah, I was like, I might just hibernate up here until summertime. It's safe up here. Yeah, it's safe and the drinks are cool. Send some more up, my man. Well, let's
Starting point is 00:29:39 see how things are in the sidecar lane. Ooh, nice. Jeff! But I'm trying to make a new place where the drink takes you. Stop trying to make sidecar lane happen. You can make fetch happen if you want. Ooh. Sips.
Starting point is 00:29:55 We'll see about that. Sip, sip. Let's take some sips. Ooh, fuck. Hmm. Well. It's a little more sharper than I thought it would be tell you that oh that i just had one of those things you know when you swallow and as the uh the cool liquid is going down your esophagus your whole like chest gets cool oh i like that oh yeah that's put me in sort of a
Starting point is 00:30:22 brandy mood oh no i hate my real cool chest jeff don't you hate when in sort of a brandy mood. Oh, no. I hate when Mike is in a brandy mood. Sometimes if I have just the right cognac, I get in sort of a brandy mood. Brandy makes me randy. Well, it's funny because cognac is so warm and inviting. You know, it's like to put all this cold and citrus in it is is a balancing effect i shook the hell out of it and then i i had my glass in the freezer all day so that was i've gotten i'm getting a nice good cool drink which i like oh it is good it is good though isn't it the taste taste wise oh way to rub in my face the very thing that I'm getting. Oh, you can't taste it.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Oof, nothing, huh? I am pleasantly getting some pings and pangs. I could feel, oh, that's a little bit of lemon up front. Oh, that's a little chunk of ice that slipped through my Hawthorne strainer. But I'm not getting any flavor whatsoever. Damn. Now, Tim, you must have a knockoff because ice doesn't get through a Hawthorne strainer, okay?
Starting point is 00:31:32 Actually, that is their guarantee. Was it true Hawthorne? I lied. I said Hawthorne because I wanted to sound fancy, but I actually just poured it straight from the top of my martini shaker, and that's why some ice got through. But I wanted some ice
Starting point is 00:31:44 because it would make it a more sensual experience for a flavorless guy. Tim, I'll tell you this. Don't tell Jack Schramm. I got a Hawthorne Schrader. I never used it. I have one.
Starting point is 00:31:57 I have one. It just is funny to reach for it. You know, like to, to, I like the ice chips. It's Japanese style. We love it. Plus the strainers on top of the thing already. It's, you're chips. It's Japanese style. We've love it.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Plus the strainers on top of the thing already. It's you're fine. It's built in. You're ready to rock. Yeah. I feel like the Hawthorne is more for when you stir it and then you put that thing on top. Yeah. But, but you wouldn't need a more fine, like if you stir in a mixing glass, you shouldn't be getting shards whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:32:26 You shouldn't be getting shards whatsoever. You shouldn't be getting shards either. Well, how many shards did you guys have during, while you were mixing this one up? It just takes one. You know, what's kind of funny is, uh,
Starting point is 00:32:37 in the, I, I've never seen the film along came Polly, but I've certainly seen the trailer. Yes. And in the trailer, the red band trailer, Philip Seymour Hoffffman who was kind of cast in like i'm sure a role that was written for jack black but they instead got seems like it philip seymour hoffman he says like oh i sharted you
Starting point is 00:32:56 know when you shit but you fart but you shit i sharted and it's kind of sold as if it's like their joke but that's it reminds me of like uh in american pie they're like she's a milf she's a mom i'd like to fuck and it's like you didn't come up with that or did they no they didn't bring they didn't come up with that see that's like when they're big right and they want to do that joke but they have to educate the people you know what i mean it's just like so we're the biggest platform this joke has appeared on, so we sort of get credit for it. This is what Drake does with music, but this is the movie version.
Starting point is 00:33:30 That's true. I saw a version of this kind of recently. I was on the Doughboys double. Name drop. And we watched the Simpsons pilot and oh, that made me feel like I was flying through the clouds.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Keep talking. I'm just going to background with it. See, I thought that was HBO, but keep going. Homer. Danny Elfman's theme song, Danny Elfman from Oingo Boingo, appeared in the film Back to School. Anyway. Just, well, again, for the people who are not patrons,
Starting point is 00:34:06 that's what we've been talking about this week on the on the blowout yes the movie back to school and it was a wonderful episode i think the fans would agree speaking of patreon shows much like the blowout i was on the dough boys double and my boys mitch and nick and joe saund. And we were talking about Bart. They're singing jingle bells at a school recital. And Bart goes, sings jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg. And Homer's like,
Starting point is 00:34:33 Bart. And it's, it's like, they didn't, they didn't write a new, they didn't have Bart's. They didn't write new lyrics for Bart to say. They just had Bart say the thing that we all said.
Starting point is 00:34:44 The well-known thing. I thought that was from The Simpsons. Is that not? No. Well, that was the query that I posited. I don't think that was from The Simpsons because I had heard it. Well, I don't know. Maybe I don't think I got it from The Simpsons, but it does seem like in a pilot
Starting point is 00:35:00 when you're introducing a brand new type of rascal, you've got to stick with what you know. But that's for a whole different podcast and a whole different blowout. Yes. Or double.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Yeah, agreed. That's weird. If you're a writer, you should write jokes. You shouldn't just listen to what kids are saying on playgrounds. You know what fucking drives me crazy is when people on sitcoms, there are certain phrases that are just like public domain or whatever like anyone unfortunately can say so that just happened and i love like that doesn't belong to anyone but then when you see people like literally using it's science it's like no no that's from anchorman that's from a famous movie
Starting point is 00:35:47 that's not like not just anybody gets to use that's not a common parlance yeah no and it's but uh it's like your your take you stole adam mckay's writing you can't on modern family be like my wife and not have it be like that that character is doing Borat. You know, it's like... That sucks because I've been, on this show, I've been doing a lot of by Jupiter's beard. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Zeus's. And I've been doing a lot of, so that just happened. Well, Mike, your impression of Pixar movies was, I gotta go. Yeah, yeah. Wait, that's Pixar? Whenever there's a... I uh i gotta go yeah yeah that's whatever there's a uh i gotta go you know that's namely namely moana i think uh the rocks character moana does a lot of
Starting point is 00:36:34 just like not really jokes but just like uh i'm gonna go i'm okay with it in that moment i'm never gonna laugh at that shit um it's for morons but But I did like Moana because I like the music in Moana. I've talked about liking Maui's song before. Well, shut up about it. But at least they're putting it in a context where it's like, oh, the ancient god Maui from the South Seas using choogy millennial slang. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:03 That's not funny, but it's a take. That's a better take than just passively doing it. It'd be, it's the, the joke is that he's like, he shouldn't be talking so modern anyway. It's, it's, it's the same as Arnold in Terminator 2 saying like, I'll be back. Chill out.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Or like, fuck off, dickwad. Yeah, chill out. Perfect. Perfect. That's from, that's from that's from batman though that's when he's mr for a doctor yeah yeah but look look john connor that's a catchphrase that that didn't work for them john connor teaches him to say all sorts of cool stuff like hasta la vista baby oh yeah yeah you know we weren't all saying hasta la vista baby not yet we weren't uh-huh but
Starting point is 00:37:42 uh we soon would sp Spanish people were saying it. I like when people put a twist on it and go, hasta la bye bye. Yeah, I love that. You like that? You know what I love? I fucking love that, dude. I miss when Arnold was the governor,
Starting point is 00:37:57 I liked when people would say the governator. Yes, yes, yes. Or when people say gubernatorial. Yeah, yeah. He was terminating, I don't when people say gubernatorial. Yeah, yeah. He was terminating, I don't know what any of his policies were. Terminating taxes. Yeah, he was terminating taxes for the wealthy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:18 What I want to ask you, we get away from this sometimes, but when we do a drink like this that we've never had, except for Jeffff what do you what do you think of like when the sidecar came up i should picture the sidecar motorcycle but for some reason i pictured charlie chaplin interesting did charlie chaplin ever have a movie like the the not the tramp the kid or something where like maybe he is on a motorcycle and then the kid is in the sidecar or something like that i think that was little motorcycle car no yeah like a stewart little something yeah that may have been stewart little or
Starting point is 00:38:55 uh one of the muppet movies you know what i think of when i hear sidecar is the fucking mid-aughts new york comedy group with Justin Tyler and Arthur Meyer. Not Arthur Meyer, Matt Fisher. God damn it. Yeah, those guys are great. We used to do festivals with them. We had them all at the same time, yeah. Yeah, but that's a fun thing about doing sketch comedy is like there's people that you would like.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Those guys were in New uh and we were in la so but and we never hung out there but we'd be like in seattle or or san francisco and be like oh yeah let's get some shabu shabu you know it my man um yeah it's always cool an alden fort yes yeah it's always great um when you're at like a sketch fest hanging out with other sketch groups here because you're like this this is the coolest group of people existing yeah and we were right yeah anyone who says that is right dude you know i used to do this thing whether we were playing montreal or chicago or seattle or new york i used to always kind of like raise a glass and say, we fucking run this town now, this weekend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:10 And you do, to the masters who came before, to Chevy. Oh, yeah. Sandler. We had a whole thing. Police. And the kids. May we make St. Catherine O'Hara proud upon this eve.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Yeah, I used to go to some of those sketch comedy festivals and check into the hotel under a different name because I didn't want to let anyone know that I was there. Yeah, but you would check in under the name Sam Richardson. Yeah, I would try to get a better comedian hey can i i'm trying to make it into the good showcase yeah here's a funny guy's name can i use his name uh these always like sidecar made me think of uh like in a james bond book who'd they'd mention like a sidecar drink or something.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Oh, really? I could tell he was drinking, maybe not specifically a sidecar, but it'd be like, I could see him across the bar, he was drinking a sidecar, blah, blah, blah. It just seems like an outdated drink that would have been. I could see like a Raymond Chandler
Starting point is 00:41:20 kind of noir-ish type of thing, like after a couple of sidecars, I went to the gritty part of town to see a lady to solve this case once and for all a gritty lady yeah yeah these are good
Starting point is 00:41:35 I did go Cointreau and you know maybe I sweeten it up with a little classic triple sec next time I've heard of bartenders putting a little splash of simple syrup in there just to soften the edges. I mean, it's damn good. I will say the one at Dresden was better. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:41:56 The one made by a professional bartender and a famous cocktail. Yeah, but Tim, I'm going off the letter of the law, off the International Bartenders Association. Heard of it? Wait, you're talking IBAworld.com? Yes. Can you tell, Jeff, what was the difference between the one at the bar and this one? They had a paper-thin ghost of a lemon floating on top. Just so we're all clear, this was lemon we were using, right?
Starting point is 00:42:24 Yes. That right? Yes. That lime? Yep. Correct. And I've seen this with an orange peel in it before. Yeah. And Jeff, you've mentioned this before. I love it when the garnish isn't-
Starting point is 00:42:35 Doesn't match the juice. The same here. Yes. It's that extra, it's like, yeah, I'm squeezing lemon in here, but when it comes garnish time, I'm putting a lime. Yeah. And it sort of gives you like a wtf moment yeah this do you think that this podcast is the show with the most wtf moments
Starting point is 00:42:53 yeah i think i think uh you know it'd be nice to get to the point where it's like this wtf moment is brought to you by twix we should have fans uh listeners of the show right in and share their WTF moments. And the bigger the brand, the better like Twix is good. Yeah. What about, uh, Coca-Cola or what about Amazon?
Starting point is 00:43:12 What about just coffee.coop? Pow. Shit. My pants. Yeah. I like, I like, see new advertising and podcasts are cool because you can say what you want.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Yeah. You can let the brand be you. I love that. Pow, I shit my pants. I forgot about that. He doesn't do that. He doesn't still. He only does that.
Starting point is 00:43:36 He's not sponsored by them, is he? He doesn't have guests anymore. He just shits his pants. That was years ago when I was like, you know, really listening to Marin. And the Doughboys, though, their Manscaped ads are fucking insane, too. Do they still do those? pants but that was years ago when i was like you know really listening to marin and uh the dough boys though their manscaped ads are fucking insane too do they still do those i don't know unless i heard we gotta stop talking about other podcasts yeah yeah sorry folks uh this podcast
Starting point is 00:43:56 unsubscribe to those podcasts and listen to just this michael i we sidecar sidecar of a motorcycle motorcycle you have are of everyone on this pod you're the only owner of a motorcycle oh boy yeah well not anymore Tim I got rid of that thing but it was a short-lived episode you loved that it was a short-lived episode but I had it for a long time yeah it it wouldn't run anymore uh but yeah I bought a motorcycle after we got paid from, I think probably Comedy Bang Bang or something. Yeah, we got some fat stacks, I think. Yeah, and I went out and bought a motorcycle that was very cheap. And it was also...
Starting point is 00:44:36 Also, I want to say this is the same week I bought my T-Bird. So we were just going out and buying funny vehicles. But dude, Mike your that bike looked awesome it looked cool it was like cafe racer with like i think it was a 50 cc like it was barely a scooter level yeah engine it's like whatever cc is like just below highway legal so i think it was like 149 or something like that that's i know those ccs from mario kart yes exactly right the star cup etc but he had a painting it had it. The Star Cup, etc. But it had a painting. It looked like a World War II fighter.
Starting point is 00:45:07 It had a mouth painted on it. Yeah, like a B-52, like the shark look on the gas tank in the front. It was olive green, and it had a red bullet nose with the shark teeth and a really determined eyeball. And I was like, if that doesn't match the driver, I don't know what does. It did not. The driver could not figure the fucking thing out to drive it in traffic i jeff and i took it a few times to a uh local church parking lot and tried to get our our legs under us on that and then i one time took it out into the road and i just could not fucking figure it out yeah honestly like it was i couldn't get the gear shifting down and the traffic was too much it's no it's no cakewalk i don't like uh noisy bikes like you know if i'm doing anything in my
Starting point is 00:45:58 life and somebody drives by on like a really loud motorcycle i don't like it like i nearly always roll my eyes and mutter and curse at them and stuff um but when you're on one boy is it different if you're making the noise yeah you love hey everybody look at me and i actually doing the thing i was like mike i'll tell you what i'm gonna drive it to this church parking lot this time and i fell off that thing going like going zero miles an hour I'm still like ow it seriously like it hurt it really hurt yeah and like the last time the last time we took it out it you were taking it down there and it broke out it broke down like halfway oh yeah to the the parking lot it just like stopped running and never ran again uh somebody told me like right after i bought it someone was like well you know it's motorcycles it's not if you're gonna crash it's
Starting point is 00:46:50 when you're gonna crash and after i heard that i was like oh yeah what the hell am i doing on a motorcycle it's scary when i drove to the beach the other day both on the 101 on the way out and back i saw motorcycle crashes and oh yeah you it's just just you. It's like if you crash, that's like your leg. You're like a water balloon going 60 miles an hour. But you're leather. The thing was cool. You're wearing leather. We got some cool helmets.
Starting point is 00:47:13 We had a helmet. That was cool. We got some cool pictures on it. When I was a kid, my grandfather had two mopeds that he got off of the want ads. And they were yellow. I want to say like French or Italian mopeds that he got off of the want ads and they were yellow i want to say like french or italian mopeds and they were even weaker than yours like a triumph and when he got them it was a pair of mopeds and they came with a sidecar and they don't they don't seem powerful enough to even be able to have a sidecar but if i can find pictures of it we're gonna post that shit and then also i
Starting point is 00:47:45 made a fun little video of me driving that moped around post that shit too post it up i'm i'm terrible at those fucking i had a friend who had like at different times had two like my friend got a dirt bike and he was like tim come over to my house and ride my dirt bike john connor it was tom cahill but he go you know those the dirt bikes they're like it looked like a motorcycle it's just a little smaller like a mini bike and i was like check me out and i i cranked the throttle all the way i shot forward and i fell to the side and it pinned my leg and i was like help and he came and he pulled it off me and i never rode it again and then a year later he got a togo that's way more horsepower and a big fat ride sorry a togo goat yeah i think
Starting point is 00:48:32 it was like t-o-g-o-t something like that not togo's sandwiches which is a chain out here in so yeah i used to love togos but i hopped on a year after my first crash. I did the same thing. I was like, hey, check me out. And I shot forward and I fell to the side and it pinned my leg. And I said, help. And he pulled it off of me. The leg pin is bad because on my old moped, there was a rotating cylinder thing on the side of the bike. And if that pinned on you, you know, it was a moving object.
Starting point is 00:49:04 That would be hot and would be like on your calf. This was hot too. This burned me. That sucks. Well, to bring things back to the sidecar, I, uh, maybe Tim, you came across this when you were studying up on it to give us all that information at the beginning of the podcast. In, I read this in a
Starting point is 00:49:25 GQ interview. Gentleman's Quarterly, yeah. That's right. When he was recording the song Montero, Lil Nas X was drinking a lot of sidecars. Really? Yeah. And so anyway, so now
Starting point is 00:49:42 that we're on the subject of Lil Nas X, did you know that when he was recording his song, Montero. Jeff, do you agree? Jeff, do you think that we're on the topic of Lil Nas X right now? I guess we are now. Yeah, for sure. I think so. I think we were talking about Lil Nas X.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Oh, because we came up with, we were talking about Montero for a while. Right. No, he was drinking a lot of sidecars. Sidecars, yes. Yeah, so says this article. It's tough to find the article. lot of sidecars sidecars yeah so says this article it's tough to find the article but uh the so when he did uh montero he was also like in this you know because little nas x is a pretty he's online a lot he's on twitter he's a uh you know a young person who just feels like he's got his finger on
Starting point is 00:50:17 the pulse he kind of plays the internet he's a little bit of a novelty artist because he's so savvy with the internet right and the ironic thing about him is that he doesn't know like a lot about like memes and stuff he doesn't know yeah he doesn't like no memes it's it's weird yeah yeah lil nas x he seems like he would know memes they they like confuse him and he doesn't she's not sure where they come from anyway does he follow grape juice boys uh does he fight he didn't mention it in the article okay or fuck advertisements uh i don't know that either no i think he said he he at one time followed fat the fat jewish but then stopped yeah i think i don't know it didn't it kind of like it was like continue on page 150. It's tough to find it.
Starting point is 00:51:09 The article. You can't find it anywhere. I'm not even going to look for it. I take your word for it. We take you at face value on this one. In the article, they had a link that you could type into your search engine and find the
Starting point is 00:51:21 original audio. Normally, if I have the link, I don't put it in the search engine. I put um the original audio yeah normally if i have the link i don't put it in the search engine i put it up in the address bar yeah well this was they said just like put this word into the search engine okay and it was um little little nas x uh montero original lyrics so i downloaded and i sent it over okay i see weird this is awesome so these these are the original lyrics to montero right during Right. During a time, you know, Montero, call me by your name. We all know that. Yeah. Right. This is during a time, yeah, where he was just like, kind of like, I'm the guy, I'm the internet guy, but I just don't get the memes.
Starting point is 00:51:56 So, yeah, take a listen. Some lady pointed at her cat. I don't understand why we text each other that. Thank you. I don't remember Kermit ever drinking tea I like the ones with Spongebob, he's funny to me Please explain your meme My fault plans versus the Delta period Please explain your meme I guess I'm just not that irreverent Okay, Lil, why don't we take a break there for a second I don't think these lyrics are working for us.
Starting point is 00:52:46 Why don't you try a few with the lyrics that we wrote for you? Yeah, I think that's a good idea, Benedicto. Why don't we go back to, you know, call me when you want, call me when you need, call me by your name. Yeah, Lil, I just think that's going to play better on the radio. Yeah, definitely play better on the radio. Okay, so why don't we take an hour for lunch? Our lobster thermodores just came, so we'll crack into those, and then we'll come back to this and hit it out of the park.
Starting point is 00:53:13 I know you can do it, Lil. Thanks, Lil. Yeah, thanks, Lil. They eat lobster thermodore for lunch in the studio? Yeah, well, hold on. There's a lot going on here. It's crazy that this is what they link to in that article um yeah so apparently you call me by call me by tell me about your meme is what he like please explain your meme right please explain your meme because he doesn't get the memes
Starting point is 00:53:39 yeah and it's it's cool because like he if we were playing this song in like our meme episode or something that's one thing but this kind of came up naturally because we we were talking about the sidecar and it reminded you that little nas x drank a lot of sidecars while he was making montero yeah so so he said in this interview in gq magazine the gentleman's quarterly right which we're not gonna look for because he said it's kind of hard to find. It's hard to find. As much as I enjoyed these original lyrics because they really cracked my ass up,
Starting point is 00:54:13 it feels like where the song landed. Dr. Benedicto and Lil Thrilla, these producers, I'm not a fan of them, but they do have a certain amount of wisdom when it comes to what happened with this song they know other people's music like they can they can help other people and they've definitely um since we first met them like they've really just like shot
Starting point is 00:54:35 up the charts they're working with better and better artists they're given more and more opportunities and now it's cool to see that like I, I guess I got to hand it to them under this steady hand of Dr. Benedicto and Lil Thriller. We have what we now know as Montero, Call Me By Your Name. A great song. One of the smashes of the summer. It would have been Montero, Please Explain Your Meme. But those two, who we know are bad musicians, we've heard their original music, got in there and said i can i'm i'm away from the driver's seat enough to really and thank god like it it doesn't bear a lot of their other
Starting point is 00:55:10 trademarks which is like you know uh clips of bill clinton right or uh you know yeah or all that shit that um professor pecker and young snizz were doing which we we didn't really like that shit either but here's what's interesting producing Are they producing now, or are they not producing? They've kind of fallen off ever since. I don't think we've heard the last of them. I hope not. Here's what's amazing about the evolution of this particular song. To go from
Starting point is 00:55:35 please explain your meme to call me by your name, like, it didn't even land with a word that rhymes with meme. You know, meme, name, I would say meme and name are sort of a slant rhyme. it didn't even land with a word that rhymes with meme. You know, meme name. I would say meme and name are sort of a slant rhyme. Tim,
Starting point is 00:55:52 you got to imagine, could Eminem rhyme it? Yeah, he probably could. Also, the thing wasn't anything. My God. The thing that we heard,
Starting point is 00:56:04 like this wasn't them trying to make a rhyme for a meme. They're like, let's just try the other lyrics. Right. They wanted to speak truth. Right. It has nothing to do with rhyming. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Rhyming is, they don't care about rhyming. They just want to, like, give people something that's going to, like, get them going, get them on the dance floor and get them fucking revved up. Yeah. I mean, we're going to talk about, you know, questionable rhymes, Delta Variant and Irreverent in the last three lines of the song. Yeah, those aren't really great rhymes either. Yeah, Variant, Irreverent, no. Actually, those work pretty good when you break them down like that. With the way I just broke them down? Yeah, the way you broke them down.
Starting point is 00:56:40 You should look into producing hit records. Yeah, every once in a while I like to break things down. That's good. That's good. All right, folks. Why don't we go make a second round, and we'll come back with our final thoughts on the sidecar. Great. Good, good.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Please explain your meme. Now I'm doing it. Catchy-ass song. Catchy song. It's the beat, not the lyrics that make it so catchy okay we're back final thoughts on the sidecar. Well, for me, this was just a P.S., a pleasant surprise. Oh. And I thought it was great, and I'm going to have it again.
Starting point is 00:57:35 It's pretty easy to make. This could replace my yellowbirds when I go to the park with people to impress them. That thing you did one time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, twice.
Starting point is 00:57:46 I've done it twice. All right. That do impress me much. Yeah. And, uh, I'm, I'm,
Starting point is 00:57:53 uh, you know, I'm here to say I'm ready to get into the sidecar lane. Yeah. Hey, yeah. Right. You're ready.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Yeah. Tim. Um, what did you say as your final... COVID! Jeff, what did you say as your final thoughts when you couldn't taste the Yellowbird? Oh.
Starting point is 00:58:14 I probably had something really witty and clever, but it was something like... See, I don't have that type of wit. I don't know. I think... I'll say this. I'm very frustrated because I think that this drink is my style. I love cognac. I love triple sec. I like't know. I think I'll say this. I'm very frustrated because I think that this drink is my style. I love cognac. I love triple sec.
Starting point is 00:58:28 I like sours. I like drinking out of a cocktail glass. I feel sad. And I do. I do like expanding that kind of repertoire of old school classics because I drink so many martinis and I'm not really a Manhattan guy, but I like ordering them just because of how they look. And I feel like this could be the drink for me,
Starting point is 00:58:55 especially this time of year, maybe even going into the winter. When my taste comes back, I'm going to make one of these and I'll give you guys an update. In the meantime, I feel like I can't really... was cold that's nice that was nice touch yeah um isn't it strange tim to uh start to feel intoxicated but not have had tasted a cocktail
Starting point is 00:59:18 yeah it really makes me if i lived like this all the time i I would just have a bunch of Bacardi 151 and just, just to feel something. No, but there's no reason that, you know, you know what I've been drinking this week. I actually haven't been drinking much because I have COVID and I'm sick, so I shouldn't drink. But when I'm trying to make it through an episode of Ted Lasso, I'll drink a Bud Light Seltzer tie dye, which I have left over. And what was the flavor that I didn't like so much? Summer Ice. Yeah. I like drinking those because it just is bubbly and refreshing. That's true.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Perfect for COVID. I like the bubbles. You don't have to taste it. And it's just a nice long sipper. I can feel the bubbles. I think this is in order again for me. Dresden did it better, but I don't like a dainty little coupe glass. You know?
Starting point is 01:00:11 Here's the thing. You do martini. Tell them to put a martini glass. Jeff, go on Amazon. Yes, Bezos's domain. And just, you can get like a cheap pack that's like one martini glass, one old-fashioned glass, one Tom Collins glass. You know, then you're, it's like $6 to have your bases covered. All right, fine.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Just hope, actually put this in the memo when you order it. Don't let Ace Ventura deliver that thing. He treats packages like crazy. I mean, he's concerned. That's not really his job. Right, right. But you got to admit, he was pretty rough with that package
Starting point is 01:00:51 at the beginning of one. Got to admit. I saw Ace Ventura one in the movie theater with my brother. And it was like, we showed up late to the theater and we didn't know if it would be like too late or whatever.
Starting point is 01:01:05 So my parents dropped us off and me and my brother ran into the theater. And then we walk in and like that kind of cold open scene is going on where Ace is kicking the he doesn't say UPS. It's like fake letters. Yeah, yeah. I forget. Anyway, we step into the theater and we're like, OK, cool. We like made it. It feels like the movie's
Starting point is 01:01:25 just starting and my brother was like go tell mom and dad we're good and i was like but i want to watch and and the whole theater was cracking their shit up and i i remember i ran out to the parking lot and gave my mom and dad a thumbs up like yeah we're gonna watch the movie and then i came back i had missed that scene but like the the my the, the, my brother and the, and the crowd, they were all laughing so hard that I couldn't wait for that movie to come out on VHS so that I could finally see that scene. And I remember also flash forward a few years. HDS was his, uh, same mall movie theater, few years in the future.
Starting point is 01:02:04 I go to see Truman show them idiots at the screening. It was a sold out show. The Truman show, they laughed their asses off at every word, regardless. The Truman show is kind of a serious movie with a few jokes in the mix. They laughed at everything Jim Carrey said just because they had decided they were going to see Jim Carrey. Yeah, that sucks. We've had that with Wes Anderson also. We're just like, I mean, that's a little different
Starting point is 01:02:31 because you might be dealing with people who maybe aren't into the indie stuff so much and then anything Jim Carrey says, they're just trained to laugh at. Whereas the Wes Anderson thing is just like hoity-toity audience members just trying to feel like they're in on the joke and that's what i'm like oh mike we when we saw um kill bill volume one remember at that movie theater in hollywood there was a real laugher kind of like proving like i know that tarantino is being tongue-in-cheek yeah it was weird because it was just you and i and that one guy he laughed his ass off it was like sideshow bob cackling in a movie theater that sucks i when i saw um the
Starting point is 01:03:11 latest john wick movie there was a guy near me who was like he wasn't trying to make a point that he was laughing but he was like laughing a lot and trying to like stifle it and i had no idea what he was laughing at like they were they were like scenes. So I wonder if he was like a stunt person who was like, oh, they're doing it all wrong, or I don't know. But it was just very funny to see him laugh. He could have been listening to the Sloppy Boys podcast. Oh, yeah. We hadn't even come out yet.
Starting point is 01:03:38 Damn. So I don't know what he was listening to. Hey, speaking of movies that you missed the beginning, the first time I saw Jurassic Park, i missed the raptor cold open and i remember coming in on the shot where they're pulling the lawyer in to the to the dig site which is like immediately after like the cool like raptor cold open and so my first shoot her yeah i missed shoot her and then um shoot her so the first time i saw it i was just just like... Shoot-Ha McGavin. I was like, yeah, I love Jurassic Park,
Starting point is 01:04:07 but I did remember feeling like it was a really slow beginning. Because with that cold open, it is. It's very slow. So that's that movie where a lawyer is like straddling, standing on a flotation device, and they slowly pull him forward on a rope, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, wait a second.
Starting point is 01:04:22 Now, Jeff, you didn't make the... You couldn't taste the yellow bird. Correct, but I have. Have you made one since? I have, and it was good. Okay. I actually liked it a lot. That was sort of a tiki,
Starting point is 01:04:35 lesser known tiki. Yeah. Yeah. Right, but the secret ingredient is that galliano. Ooh, the galliano. That big piss spike. Yeah, if you haven't heard that one, folks,
Starting point is 01:04:46 go back and listen to that. Go listen to that one. This one is cool. I said I don't like coupe glasses, and it's not because they're dainty. They are dainty. It's because they are tippy. That's the same reason I don't like a martini glass.
Starting point is 01:05:04 They're too wide. Give me a nice deep coupe. Then I'll carry it around. Jeff, when you're carousing, when you're walking around sloshing your drink, have a beer, okay? A cocktail glass, it's
Starting point is 01:05:20 an experience. You have a seat, you take a deep breath, and you say, I'm going to take 20 minutes or 30 minutes and I'm going to enjoy this cocktail. I'm going to think about the sips. I'm not going to walk around the room seeing if I can chase tail all night. Tim, I'm on the move.
Starting point is 01:05:37 I'm Gen Z. Bap, bap, bap. Give it to me now. I'm moving over here. Gen Z loves chasing tail. They do. They love it. But here's the thing.
Starting point is 01:05:46 If you want to do that, fine. Do a little Molly. You know, do you live that life? But I don't want you drinking a sidecar. When you have a sidecar, I want you to sit on a stool, thank the bartender for what they have given you. And think about the concoction. Think about the
