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, the Handman, and Tim Kalbagas. What is up? And we're with you once again together. I bet you wish we were with you 24-7, but we can't be. We just don't have that type of recording space. 365? We take Christmas off.

And it's a happy Christmas Eve. Yeah. Much like Bob Cratchit, huh? Yeah. Well, I don't think I agree with that. His boss was kind of weird. I liked Cratchit, though. I liked his boss before he woke up the next morning.

I liked him after. Oh, when he was giving turkeys away? Oh, yeah. Good way to lose capital. Hey, I got a little correction to make up top. Oh, do we do that here? We do. Okay.

I've been saying Softie Brothers. It's Safdie Brothers. Ah, I think you're right. I said it once. I want Mike to get a Carhartt jacket, and I said he would look like a Softie Brother. Yeah, right. I was thinking of Mr. Softie, the ice cream truck. I'll get one of those anytime.

See, I thought it was Safdie, but then when you said Softie, I was like, oh, it's Softie. Tim must know. Goddamn. Tim, he's looked up at this. Everybody says Safdie, and then I thought by saying Safdie, I would be saying the correct Syrian way of saying it. And then I just saw an interview with them the other day, and they were like, hey, we're the Safdie brothers.

And I was like, they would know. They're pretty much the authority. We just want to say there's a guy in L.A. who's not saying her name right. Well, you know, we live in Los Feliz. That's not actually how you say it. No, no. Los Feliz. Los Feliz.

But that's not how you say it. I say Los Feliz. Yeah. I say Los Feliz. You're not supposed to. I don't like it. You're not supposed to. You're supposed to say it.

You can say it any way you want. That's what's so cool about Los Feliz, man. Any type of way of pronouncing you have, like, we accept you. We say, hey, here's a wing at you rustic brother. Come in, come in, break bread with us. Let me know you better, man. Have a Bella Luna pizza pie. Now, wait a second.

We were just talking about the safties. Oh, that jacket. Yes. You know I'm against this idea, but the other day- This was a... I recommended a buffalo plaid... Yes, Carhartt.

Red buffalo plaid Carhartt jacket. I like Carhartt stuff. I'm going to get, for my birthday coming up November 3rd, hopefully get some Carhartt pants. Oh, hey. Doesn't like the jacket. Wrong hemisphere of the body. Canvas pants from my mommy.

Now, you used to have, didn't you have a real stiff pair of Carhartts and you got them tailored? Tailored to make them not stiff anymore? Tailored to make them shorter. Yes. They were like leg tubes. They were green ones. Yeah, those were a little too long. Carhartt jeans don't fit very well, fit me very well, but I'm going to get some anyway and try again.

Yeah, you're going to look like a safty brother When I was walking down the street Because I was in kind of a hip part of town I couldn't tell you where it is But it seemed hip to me I said maybe I'll pop in one of these stores And see if they got that jacket Tim and Jeff were talking about Then I said I don't have time for that right now

So I went home Here's a funny thing about that jacket Buffalo plaid is this like red uh checker that you would everyone would recognize timeless red and black red and black checker um i uh did a poll on instagram to see if people would want you to buy this jacket and it was a resounding 80 yes but the picture i posted yeah i posted it and then i was looking at it and i was like that carhartt patch is very big and then you know what occurred to me the patch wasn't big at all the jacket was small

jacket it's a perspective i'll get two for my hands then um and then i i was like whoops i posted a picture of a little boy baby jacket and then i looked around i couldn't find an adult one so you might be off the hook all right well no, if they make it for a baby, they probably make it for a... I couldn't find it on the internet. Maybe you have to go to a Carhartt store. Maybe. Well, then I might be off the hook. That's good for me.

But I also said, yeah, we talked about this. And I said, you know, if 80% wants it so bad, chip the cash together and send it out. Mike, you need to put together one of those wish lists. Yeah, Amazon wish lists. Oh, that's what you were saying. Mike, you need to put together one of those wish lists. Yeah, Amazon wish lists. Oh, that's what you were saying. That, you know, influencers have. Yeah, and then you tweet things like,

Hey, Sugar Mama, send me my jacket. People do that and they just, do they crowdsource it and get like a bunch of people? I haven't done the wish list. I've bought a lot of stuff for people. Yeah, yeah. But I haven't solicited. Tim, yeah, Tim's a bit of a pay pig.

Is that a... Yeah. I'm lonely solicited. Tim, yeah, Tim's a bit of a pay pig. Is that a... Yeah. I heard that term because there was like a viral tweet of a screen grab of a text where some girl got a text from her dad that was like, sent goddess. And she was like, oh no. And then he followed it up with like, whoops, wrong person. Wrong person, sent goddess. goddess like the guy that just

gets off by giving money away yeah that's the what we we look we love our our patreon subscribers and we give them podcasts it's a good relationship but what if we they became that would be a good new tier that should be the new tier man we should just a thousand dollar a month pay big yeah and what do you get? Scent goddess. We'll send you a jacket, a Carhartt jacket. Yeah. That's worth it? A $50 Carhartt jacket for $1,000?

If they give us a thousand a month, yeah, we'll give you plenty of them. Safty jackets left and right. Also, I should say, I've never seen the Saftys wear this. I just had an idea that it's like a downtown Manhattan cool guy thing to do. It seems absolutely like something. What gives you any impression that I'm a downtown Manhattan cool guy thing to do. Absolutely. What gives you any impression that I'm a downtown Manhattan cool guy? I want you to become one. You're a Brooklyn dork. Yeah, I'm a fucking

Brooklyn dork. Now, is the buffalo plaid also the blue or the white? Because I've seen those. I've seen blue. White? White and black? Yeah, like Woolrich makes those. Ooh. Well, the classic is red. Woolworths. Classic is red. I feel like you had a blue. Well, the classic is red. Woolworths. Classic is red.

I feel like you had a blue. No, it was Dave Ferguson. There you go. Oh, he gave that one to me. There you go. I don't know if you've seen one of your guys. And I wore that into the ground, man. I wore it in San Francisco, for Christ's sake. I wore it in the Campers Act casuals schedule.

Oh, yes. Yes. I have a little bit of retraction editorializing to do. Ooh, do we do that? We do corrections. I don't know if we do that. Corrections, corrections.

I thought we stand by what we say here on the pod. Well, I think we had some facts wrong. Last time we did, last episode we did the, when we did the pickleback, we were talking about

pickling things. Yeah. And we were saying, oh, it takes like, you put it in there for years. It takes years. I think it's five days. I looked it up.

I think it's very short. Yeah, it is. Yeah, but what about like when people say time is a flat circle and stuff? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the type of people I want to put in a pickle brine for a long time. Get them out of my face. So I'm going to, hearing this news, because I thought it was pickles were like, when you guys said, oh, yeah, it's like a year. I was like going to, hearing this news, because I thought it was pickles were like, you know,

when you guys said, oh yeah, it's like a year. I was like, yeah, it makes sense. We're pickles. But then I'm thinking, I'm going to pickle some stuff.

Oh, yeah. Give myself a jar. Hey, don't pickle your dick. Hey, that's, to me,

that's way cooler than like, you know, early, early pandemic. Everybody was doing sourdough starters and all the little things that everybody was doing. The, the pushup contest. Yeah. I feel like um getting into pickling that's cool i said when everyone was doing going crazy with that i was

just relaxing tending to my garden in animal crossing yeah my teddy bear made a beat beet he grew a beet oh i i need more bells right people like bells i'm not sure yeah but there is a teddy bear tom nook that's his name i know that still haven't played it tom nook's the bear from tom nook to tim cook the story of tech stuff well Well, the point is, pickling is on the forefront in my life. Yeah, let's pickle some. My mom does sauerkraut. I'll find out how she does that if you want to make a hot dog. I'd like to have a kraut with some hot dog. Ooh, that hot dog topic brings us into some...

Bip, bip, bim! Hanging out Having drinks The same old drinks We drank last week Not a thing to do But talk business Yeah, there it is. Miller Lite to do but talk booze news. Yeah, there it is. Miller White.

Miller White. It's booze news you little gremlin. Little penguin? I think gremlin. Gremlin. Was it? I heard penguin. Penguin? Okay. This is sort of like, is it white and gold

or is it blue or black? Yeah, yeah. The dress. That was, that Booze News theme was called Hanging Out by Lil Stinker. And I like that. Instead of we're all all right, Miller Lite. Very clever. That was a good one.

That was, when I said what? Did he say the same old drinks we drank last week? I think so. Yeah, but isn't that. We played the opposite. Yeah, no, we do a different drink. But that's like the lyrics. That's like the same old thing. Yeah, week? I think so. We can play the opposite. No, we do a different drink every week. But that's like the lyrics. That's like the same old thing.

Yeah, maybe Lil Stinker hasn't heard the pod. Or the theme song. Well, here's what's so appropriate, right? You know, that 70s show theme song, that 70s show is a Midwestern show, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wisconsin? Yes.

And that song, Che uh cheap trick i believe they were covering uh big star but cheap trick midwestern band right illinois so only uh uh appropriate to talk about some chicago booze news i see uh because from the Kanger, a little bit of booze news, Vienna Beef, Chicago Dog Bloody Mary Kit. Do you know Vienna Beef? Yeah, I do. It's the brand of the hot dog in Chicago.

And you know a Chicago Dog, sport peppers, celery salt, pickle spear. Pickle right on there. Tomato, poppy bun, Vienna Beef hot dog.

Vienna Beef has come out with a Bloody Mary kit with sport peppers and celery salt and little... Hey, well, it's not hot dogs. It's meat... Vienna beef meat sticks. Like a Slim Jim that you put in there.

Are those really short? Because you see them in those... Cocktailing? Vienna sausages. Oh. Is that what those are? My friend in grade school used to bring those into school for lunch vienna it's not that's different than vienna beef the brand but i

do remember vienna sausages are like they're like little pale they're like little pale bologna dicks yes right but like they look very cylindrical like very cut off straight at the end yeah and it's such a funny... Did you ever have the lunch where you had like a tiny can of tuna and some crackers? It was like a little snack pack. That was, I think that those Vienna sausages were trying to ride that wave. That's a wave you want to bounce off of. Yeah, everybody made fun of my friend that had those little...

One of them gave me a hot dog once for lunch in a thermos of hot water. I've seen that. I've seen that. I've seen that. But it was so gross because it was just a soggy hot dog that I'd pull it out and put it on a bun that she gave me.

When you guys were growing up, how did you prepare hot dogs? How did your family... Because we always just grilled them or on a frying pan. Yeah. Never boiled in water. Boiled hot dogs.

I've been at family's houses where they did that, and I was like, what are we doing here? Grilling in the summer, but we did boil them if it was like a natural casing dog for some reason, you know, that you're trying to get that snap. I like the snap even more if it's like pan-fried. Why not?

Hey, remember those dogs that we had at PDT, at Criff Dog in New York? Yes, I do. Those are some good crispy dows. I might go back there. Did we need a reservation to get into those places? I can't tell if Jack Schramm treated us or we just had to make a reservation early. I think he pulled some strings, but if you...

He pulled strings to get us the booths and stuff and some good seating, I know. Right. I don't think any jag-off is going to be able to get a table. You've got to be in a party rock band with a cocktail pot and i'm not just any jag off well anyway if um you know this uh if you like bloody marys and you like chicago dogs that's an interesting thing but really what i'm getting at here is do you know who's going to chicago in a couple weeks. Timothy? The fucking Sloppy Boys. Oh, us. Yeah, me too. Oh my God.

Slopheads, we are playing a rock and roll concert with Don't Stop or We'll Die in a couple weeks on the 21st and 22nd of October. We're going to be at Subterranean. That's a Thursday and a Friday. These are going to be big shows and we're going to rock hard. We are so

pumped to play with Don't Stop Again. The first show or the last show we played before the pandemic, they were supposed to go with us to Chicago and they couldn't go last minute so we played with a local band and it was the best. It was the best place.

The audience was awesome. They were all singing along and I expect that from this audience. They were nutso. And it was two floors. It was the best place. The audience was awesome. They were all singing along, and I expect that from this audience. They were nutso. And it was two floors. Two floors of slop heads. Yeah. Oh, I love that. It had a cool balcony.

That was a great place. I can't wait to get back there. Now, Don't Stop or We'll Die, the other band on The Bill With Us, they had to bail. Was it because they found out that the pizza was too thick in Chicago, I think? Yeah, they were like, well, we don't have the flatware for this. The flatware. There was an issue of how low their jaws can drop in order to... Yeah, yeah. Well, we had been...

We knew about it, so we were stretching, because we'd been there before. Hey, yeah. You want to drop your jaw, watch me play one of my guitar solos. You know... Yeah. Oh, my God. He... Terrible. The fucking thing I cannot wait for is eating,

because we're going to have a full fucking day, aren't we? Yeah. Yeah. Give us some recommendations. Last time, we fucking went to Pequod's Pizza. Loved it. What was the first place, though? We showed up and went right to a brunch place

that was pounding trap music at 10 a.m. We had taken a red eye or something, or we just got up really early? I think we had to kill some time before we could check in. little brunchy a brunch place that was like pounding trap music at like 10 a.m we'd taken like a red eye or something or we just got up really early i think we had to kill some time before we could check in so yeah we had to go to uh yeah that was fun but that was great to just get there and it was a bummer to be in a packed packed restaurant with a bass guitar and like man what a great time to like go in there get a big old bloody mary we had some ribs and old styles over at the anchor oh yeah in piquads we ate like the whole menu that we we ate a lot yeah man we took down a picture of beer yeah that was great it was all great i mean here's the thing about a good food

town there even if you don't go to any of the famous best spots, it's still just like the average place has to be good. Because if you have bad food in San Bernardino, no offense, they say, hey, that's fine. We'll buy it. But if you have bad food in Chicago, you're out of here. You're out of business. They'll throw you in Lake Michigan. Sometimes when I stop at the Midway Airport or O'Hare, they got Billy Goat Tavern. Oh, yeah.

And I'll get those, and they're good, but I'm going to the real place. I'm going to the bridge. You know, one time I was- All right, flee. I was in Chicago for work, walking around the city by myself, similar to when I did 17 miles by myself in New Orleans, just sort of sauntering. What did you call that? The Great Saunter.

Yeah. The Great Southern Saunter. I had a sauntering night in Chicago. I was like shooting a thing for a TV show, but I had a night off in the middle by myself. And I went to the Billy Goat Tavern, which I had done before, and I ate some burgers. But then I watched the Dodgers were in the World Series, and I said, hey, they got a TV here. They have a bar at the Billy Goat Tavern. I'll get drunk by myself and watch that game.

Did you have other people watching that were cheering along? They were watching me. Sir, how many are you going to have? We don't really do that type of thing here. I'm going bun, no burger this time. Do you guys remember? I want to say it was 2009. We did a sketch fest in Chicago.

Yeah. And we walked around and it snowed so hard. And it got through to all of our socks. And we put them on the radiator in the hotel room. Yeah. And then it just stunk up the entire hotel room. Some of us had to buy boots there. Yeah.

I bought boots there. Yeah, that was a stench, man. I remember putting uh plastic bags inside my sneakers because my sneakers were wet and i had to walk in the snow we were ill-prepared so cowboys we didn't know what to expect i mean we rode out there on a surfboard we went from there i think to like san francisco sketch fest the next week and we were like so sick yeah i remember maybe it was reversed but i used to get sick like every other sketch fest and then i wised up started taking b12 like keith and mick oh yes well is that it for bibbit bit

a little uh type of a donkey you know that that uh booze news theme reminded me of when he was like, Miller Lite. It reminded me of our parody song, you got to have coos, you got to have bud, you got to have wiser. Yeah, you can't just have bud, you also have to have wiser. You got to drink coos, you got to drink bud, you got to drink wiser. And then cocktails. Okay. That's all I want to say. I just want to keep that ball in the air because those are fun songs.

Do you want to get into the D.O.D. drink of day? Sure. Yes. Well, when I say to you Fernandito or Fernet con cola or Fernet and Coke. Yeah. And then I ask you, you've had. How do you respond? Not had, not heard until we talked about it for this pod.

And I've never had Fernet. I know we were supposed to buy it for something a long time ago, but I didn't do it. Couldn't find it. Yeah, no shit. Not had, not heard. I've had Fernet. I don't really remember it in particular. I get it mixed up with Malort and all the other gross drinks.

Oh, it's a gross one. Well, it's strong. Is it licorice-y? That's what I'm picturing. Right? Licorice. Yes, it is. So, Mike, you have no association with it whatsoever?

Nay. Jeff, you would know it. I love it. It's one of the weirdies that I like. I have had it. I've had it at Mess hall a bunch uh yes sean boyle buys it all the time yes the funnier guy producer sean boyle after dinner likes to get around those frenet shots that's a weird yes it's one of the first ones that i had that i was like

tastes like black licorice but it is a good with a smile on yeah well someone else is buying it i'll smile all night um it's like a after dinner shot type of thing or you could uh mix it with like club soda or have it on like the rocks or something earlier in the day i guess but in the world of amaros that are italian fernet is a kind so the brand is fernet bronca fernet is a type of Amaro that other brands can make, basically. But the bottle you always see, Fernet Branca. Very, very popular drink. So I've had that a bunch, but I've never heard of mixing it with Coke. This is on the IBA list, and we got excited because it's a two-ingredient, nice, easy chugger.

Well, can I tell you something about that bronca yes first of all the logo is really cool it's like an airplane in the sky when I went over to the liquor store to get it because we should say we're all together I don't know if the audience knows that we're all together we're all together on zoom

I picked it up I picked it up and I was like I picked up a Frenette Amaro and I was like is this right and I said to the, we're in the same room. Kidding. I picked it up, and I was like, I picked up a Fernet Amaro. And I was like, is this right? And I said to the guy, I was like, Amaro, the same thing as just Fernet? And he said, no, the Branca, unless it calls specifically for Branca, you should use that if it calls specifically, because it's mintier tasting. Yes.

Ooh, the Branca is mintier tasting? Yeah. And I said, god damn, I'm glad I checked with you, man. And he gave me all those types of info. The guy at Cap and cork is very good with amaro's i've talked to him a bunch but you know that whole world they're all like mainly like dark black and uh like chinar and there's a whole bunch of them and we had one on the show before but i feel like to me for net bronca is the most popular one and it's the one that you see people, like we have friends that drink it regularly. But as far as mixing it with Coke, we had not heard.

We had not had. And this is what's good about the podcast. This is the type of drink you want to learn about, a nice clear thing. The Fernandito, Fernet and Coke, is a very specific thing. It is a college kid drink in Argentina. Wow. So Amaros are big in Italy. Fernet is one type of Amaro.

And during immigration in the late 1800s, early 1900s, Italians moved to Argentina, brought many Amaros with them. But Fernet, the type of Amaro that is Fernet, like kind of caught on. And then the brand Fernet Branca started in Argentina. Interesting. It was there for like 80 years. And then in the 1980s, the guys, like the promotional dudes at Fernet Branca were saying, everyone here in Argentina loves our product, but it's like a private drink.

You know, you have it, a quiet dinner. You have a little sip after dinner. It's not a big social party drink. And they wanted to like take that big next step to make the big bucks. So they cooked up the idea of mixing it with Coca-Cola. In the 1980s, yous yeah the rum and cokes and yeah yeah the mixed drinks are popping off they reach out to coca-cola say hey want to do an ad campaign thing they do it big ad campaign in the town of cordoba which is a big college town

they ran this ad campaign about fernet and coke and it totally worked and the college kids there associated with this um style of music called quarteto best exemplified by the artist rodrigo here it's this type of music let me play a little clip of rodrigo olivia rodrigo stop it bit. That's fun. You know, you're a college kid. Yeah, yeah. You're slamming back

some Coca-Cola and Fernet. I wish this stuff was playing when we were in college. Yeah, I know. Instead, we had from the window to

the wall. To the furger of South Miami. I need to be able to make better distinctions between like that and Ranchero music and all the other sort of

like South American. They don't sound like Coca to me. yeah if you take four years and you you travel central and south america and you can learn it all i would say for the four years maybe go to a study music at a school and then take your trip sure sure your senior thesis um i'm sure down to the bpms just the tempo and the instruments used it's really only bpm you you go up or down one beat it changes genres um so this campaign worked college kids to this day this is a hugely popular drink in this college town in argentina but here's the funny thing they just call it a fernet con coca you know a fernet and coke and originally they were drinking it as a highball and i just read this that the reason you drink out a long drink out of a highball glass is to keep it bubbly

there's less surface area on top interesting you know bubbles can't explode whereas if you drink coca-cola out of a bowl oh my god you're gonna lose your bubble there's one big pop and then it's flat oh my god somewhere along the line in the 90s people also started making this in a big fat double old-fashioned rocks glass so that it required a little bit less coke and i guess they weren't so worried about it getting flat but that's the version it could the smaller one the fernandito not the big old ferdinand for net con cola okay fernandito oh it's so it's is the one that the international bartenders association said yep we're putting you on the list so that's the one that we're having so the squat one is the fernandito i'm a little how does the fernandito you got fern. And then Dito means smaller.

So it should have been, if it had been like Ferdinand or something. Yeah. Because Ito is like, we talked about that. Ito is. There's one of the bartenders we talked about on the show was named like Monchito because his name was Ramon. Yeah. And the nickname for Ramon is Monchito.

Monchito. Little Ramon. But this is also reminds me a lot of the Cuba Libre because it's, I mean, it's just a simple drink with Coke. But it's Coke going south. Yeah. In this case, much more south.

And Coke makes sense going south. Coke is made from the coca plant. And think how good a mixer. I mean, a rum and Coke is great. A whiskey Coke is great. It's a very good little mixie. This is an interesting one for me because it's like uh it's such a simple drink that it's i'm curious what the fernet's gonna i'm gonna do a fernet little taste before we put in the coke yes and you should imagine that that tastes that's like your little after dinner little

yeah now what's supposed to happen with this drink? I just ate a big 96-ounce steak. This drink is supposed to be sort of velvety. Like an Amaro is a fancy thing, right? That for that Bronco was not cheap, was it? I got the smaller bottle. It was 20. Okay, still. The large bottle was 35.

Okay. I think it's supposed to be sort of silky and velvety and we're supposed to something's supposed to happen here. Well, like my nightwear, you know, between the Coke and the fornets, I bet that college had some of the best digestive tracks in the world.

Those students. The plumber comes in and is like, this is, I got nothing to do here. Because it's a digestif and it's a soda that settles your stomach you're right these kids probably never barfed once uh you can drink these all night okay the recipe is uh 50 milliliters for net bronca so that's the size of a nip if you get a nip fill up with cola the method is uh pour for net bronca in a double old-fashioned glass filled with ice

fill glass up with cola. Gently stir. Garnish with... Not a fucking thing, no garnish. I love it. Simple. Yep. So you stir it right in there. That's right. And we got Mexican Coke.

Perfect. Oh, yeah. That's probably what they were having. You know, I don't think they were having corn syrup down in Argentina. No way. They were having full sugar Coke. No. This is good.

I'm excited for this one. You want to get into it? Yes. Folks, we'll be right back. That's a good sound, Tim. Yeah, that's a sound. Hey, folks, welcome back. Listen to this.

Yeah. You know, when the cubes are more frothy than clinky, it's more of a thud. Yeah, yeah. It's like cubes in a swamp. I got to make an apology to the Frenette Bronco Corporation. It doesn't taste like black licorice. We just took little nips of it as we were making these.

It is minty. It's spicy. It's great. I'm not going to say it's great. Maybe I have to get my taste into it. Get your taste into it. We'll come back. Imagine you just ate a big dinner and you're laying back.

You're in Argentina and you just had a bunch of skirt steak or something. You're going, oh, I couldn't have anything else. And then the waiter says, uh-uh, have this. And you go, oh, digestivo. Here's your toilet, sir. I said this in the kitchen moments ago. I like anything that's got a pharmaceutical strength character to it. Something that feels like Arm & Hammer or Gold Bond. Yeah. It feels like a arm and hammer or gold bond or yeah you know it feels like sting

this was like like a prescription liquor and you can see why they were like oh it's a digestive you have it after dinner it breaks down the food because it's got something going on like something you could sell to a uh a well-meaning colonial town like a snake oil salesman yeah like yeah this is good for headaches I need to apologize to the Bronco company too because I I said the logo

had a plane on it it is an eagle yes it's like a sunset kind of happening and it's big the eagle is huge and he's on top

of the whole world and I need to apologize to San Bernardino I said that they have bad food I don't know why I said that they had the original McDonald's

you know oh shit hey with this drink like something definitely happened I read some on Wikipedia I said that they have bad food. I don't know why I said that. They had the original McDonald's, you know? Oh, shit. Hey, with this drink, like, something definitely happened. I read some, on Wikipedia, it said something about, like, there are very particular bartenders who will, like, fill up a little bit of the Coke, a little more Fernet, and, like, the froth. There's, like, a lot of talk about the froth,

but I'm seeing there's, like, froth going on, right? Sure, yeah. Do they not want the froth? No, you do want froth. You just don't want to overfill the glass because I think it does foam. It's similar to a Coke froth. And you know, if you didn't say anything, Tim, I might not have noticed, but you're right.

It's got a bit of a creamier, coffier aesthetic. Tell you what, when you smell it, it kind of smells like a grasshopper cookie. Mint. Like the grasshopper cocktail. Oh cocktail I'm getting a little mint for sure Shall we sip? Bottoms up Okay man This is

Some fancy stuff going on Let me just set this down On the floor like a Russian root No spoilers going on. Let me just set this down. On the floor like a Russian root? No spoilers. Ooh, next week. Okay. Oof. Okay.

Okay, Mike's is on the ground. No, that's just because I'm sitting next to the ground. Here's what I'll say. Side table. That frenet packs enough of a punch that it definitely didn't get watered down, even with all that Coke, right? I know. It's a bubbly Fernet.

It's thickened up. It's viscous. It's velvety. I'm getting, like, if I didn't know what I was drinking, and I was blindfolded, nude, slapped, and spanked. Wow, yeah. Jeff, go get the whip I'll get the tie

Let's get back to that Hustler store And uh Um No if I just tasted this I do think I would think I'm having some sort of like Mint

Soda Mint tar Tar Tar and mint Tar Crushed up mint cigarette Yeah I'll tell you what doesn't add up though college kids chugging these no tim

maybe they're not chugging it though i feel like a an excited freshman chugging one of these taking my waxed beef out on the town jesus what or harry dick okay okay when i was a freshman i was in my i was drinking but i was in my room and looking at my class schedule. Oh, my God, I've got to go over to Seisman Hall at 8 and then all the way across campus for biology lecture at Guzman's. Mike, you needed to have some Fernet to calm your stomach. Calm your nerves. Me, freshman year, I was more is more like sorry there was class today yes mr cuphead you're failing

huh man where no i don't think of this as a college party drink this is like you're at a bar and there's one kind of like salt and peppery guy sitting by himself and his shirt is unbuttoned one button too far. And he's kind of like, he's been abroad, you know? And you're like, what are you drinking? And he's like,

it's, it's a fucking Fernandito. You're kind of talking about the Dos Equis guy, but in this case, it's Fernandito. Uh, I wonder if, you know,

it's, it's, it's, it's not like a, uh, espresso martini or something, but with the Coke and the Fernet, maybe it's got a little bit of like a sugar high quality,

you know, for the college kids. What's the, uh, what's the ABA on a Fernet. Maybe it's got a little bit of a sugar high quality for the college kids. What's the ABA on a Fernet? It's right there. 80 proof, I'm going to guess. I think Amaro's are kind of low, but this one's got a sting to it. Yeah. 39. 39%. It's an 80 proof. Yeah. So that is just like a whiskey Coke coke i get it what a classy alternative to uh anything else with coke in it it's a weird thing to enjoy

because you know lots of times on this show we just drink the sweetest drink and we say hey that's good um but this is one of these ones where it's like You drink it It tastes weird and you go ooh that's bad Right well I'm enjoying it But I wouldn't say that's good taste It's like that's this experience I'm enjoying Maybe I just like podcasting maybe I get off on that

Yeah if we weren't here or the microphones weren't up Would you still be smiling so wide That would be so weird Have a drink with your two friends Without the mics I would have a drink with your two friends. I would have a drink with you guys, but I probably wouldn't do booze news and all that. Do you feel like it's lacking something, Tim? Do you feel like you want to squeeze a little lime

in there, maybe? I'm with you. I've thought this about other drinks where it's like, I see what you mean, but citrus might be weird with an Amaro. Although, remember I had that Angelino Amaro that is orangey. So maybe some orange bitters. Ooh.

I don't know. I don't know. That sounds good. Yeah, I will say this about this drink. This tastes to me, so far, and you notice I didn't jump right on it because Sure. This tastes to me, so far, and you notice I didn't jump right on it because I know the tale of the ice. We all know that.

Oh, we know. The melty, melty stuff. And by the end, I said, give me another one. But this is definitely, like I took, my first sip was like a gulp. And now I'm going through this little sturdy straw, and just a little bit at a time. And it's much more of just like a contemplative sip. What's going on here? Why is this

happening to my mouth? You do look a lot smarter. And introspective. Why, thank you. Wow. In normal life, he would never say that expression. I would never say why. I'd just go, thanks! Thanks why? Why? Jefferson, many thanks upon your

noodle. Not to be rather crude, but I just had a burp that was rather herbal and botanical. These Amaros are made of 50 different herbs. There's just a lot going on.

The drink is like a secret garden. It must be nice to get into the Amaros because 50 different herbs, you know? Sure. So there's just a lot going on. Yeah, Kush, Indica, The drink is like a secret garden. It must be nice to get into the Amaros because, I mean, we could come up with an Amaro and be like, okay, it's 98% star anise, but don't stop there. Keep reading.

There's several other ingredients that makes ours different and you have to buy a whole bottle. Koi boy Amaro, and that'll be our like, don't stop there. What if we were to come out with a drink, everyone

expected to be a hard seltzer or a light beer or something. It would be so funny if we came out with an Amaro that's like, it's got rhubarb. It's got all different leaves in it. And you have to ferment it very slowly. It's fermented in the foothills of the Italianian alps we've got outposts there we've never been there we've never tried it

and only three of us know the recipe and we said it on the podcast mike you've done the swiss alps have you done the italian no but where i was you could zermatt zermatt oh i gotta get back there that was the best trip I've ever... You skied the Matterhorn. Well, you don't ski the Matterhorn, but skiing, you look up to the Matterhorn. You rode the Matterhorn at Disney. Well, that's what gave me the idea, my boy, to go westward. That's funny.

I remember riding the Matterhorn with you at Disney, and then you said, oh, this gives me one of my little travel ideas. Dude, do you have a piece of paper and a pen? I got to write something down. I was like, do you have a piece of paper and a pen? I've got to write something down. I was like, do you have a smartphone? And you're like, I don't own one. I dropped it out of the Captain Nemo ride. Didn't you stop at a bar in the Alps?

And somebody was talking to you, and they were like, so what do you do in L.A.? Well, let me tell you about this bar, first of all. The skiing was fantastic. And it wasn't, like, hard skiing. I'm not a great skier, but I know how to ski. But it's like, you go up to the way top and it's like not super steep. You know what I mean?

So you're just kind of going back and forth. And you stop at restaurants and bars all the way down. That's the coolest. And you're pretty much on the mountain all day. And then you get back and it funnels all the trails, at least on this side of the mountain, funnels down into this little path. The sun's going down. You're going through the evergreen trees.

And you stop right at a little champagne bar. It's about five stools wide, a little sitting area. And yeah, the woman there was like, so what do you do in LA? And I said, oh, I'm an actor, writer, comedian, basically. And she was like, comedian? Like, she didn't laugh at that. And she goes, comedian? Like Jim Carrey?

I was like, yeah, like Jim Carrey. And she's like, ah! The mere mention. It was the idea of him. He's funny. Oh, my God. But yes, no, the Italian Alps at this place, you could have gone up one side of the Swiss mountain

and then down the Italian side, but I did not. You know what I want to do? Thinking of that sort of like winter sports, but with like drinking in the mix and like kind of spending a fun day in the mountains makes me think of, I love, you know, I love Montreal and I love Quebec City, but I never been, my friend chris romano who was a creator and star of the show blue mountain state which was set in new hampshire jefferson wow but they shot it up in quebec and so he would go for like three years he was like go spending tons of time in quebec and he said they have these like spas that are these like outdoor pools and jacuzzis and like a

whole side of like a mountain, like a beautiful hotel spa with like steamy outdoor pools where you just go in different temperatures, like a cold plunge pool than a hot pool. And you spend a whole day. And here's the real kicker. He said, you're walking around,

even though it's like zero degrees outside, you're walking around in your like robes cause you're hot from the pools and stuff and you've got like bottles of red wine in your hands wow and he said like everyone's get you're getting like hot and all steamed up and then you're getting drunk off wine and that was like their days off during shooting they would just lay around these spas getting drunk guys that's our that's hawaii two point i was just gonna say that's that's our new year's trip that sounds pretty good that'll be so fun. I think I've been skiing up there, too, I think. I've been in that area. I haven't been to one of those spots, but I've been there for New Year's, and it's amazing.

They get like eight feet of snow. It's fucking... And the food is amazing. The French-Canadian food is the best in the world. It's salty meats, right? Is there other specialties? Smoked meat, man, is like the pastrami of Montreal. Probably falls off the bone up there.

Oh, my God. He's good luck finding the bone. Quick question for you, Tim, and for you, Mike. Up there or in the Alps, they love skiing. Would they take kindly to a down-and-dirty knuckle-dragger snowboarder like the J-Man? No way, man. You're going to blow their minds. You're going to blow their minds. You're going to be their king.

King dude. Wow, sacre bleu. This guy's going down left foot first. Ski, un ski, du sideways. This guy's falling on his ass every other run. Yeah, first you should learn how to snowboard before you try to revolutionize. Yeah, have you snowboarded you try to revolution yeah have you snowboard before yes uh ski both i i skied at a young age transition to snowboarding and then

i was even taking a jump or two oh nice yeah that's cool um last time i was in montreal my uber driver was telling me that the skiing industry really, you know, the Laurentian Mountains in Quebec are, like, it's important tourism business and stuff, but there was, like, a little bit of a lack of skiing interest from Gen Z. Yeah. Kind of like that. It's funny how that happens in America. Well, they love eating ass and stuff.

They aren't so much concerned about it. Yeah. And also just to stay warm in the winter, yeah? Yeah. You need more of a steamy activity but you ever hear of like in america that like teenagers are not into uh baseball anymore like if you're a good athlete stunning i can't believe it like basketball is cool and it's easier to be a star in basketball so like the the boring old baseball scouts are

like hey kid you have to complain the big leagues and if you the the boring old baseball scouts are like hey kid you have to complain the big leagues and if you're like a hot shot athlete you're like fuck no um well my uber driver was saying that in in uh quebec that the kids were not skiing enough so they did a government program and you know it's like a socialist country and stuff they did this whole skiing program where when you like every high schooler gets a free uh what do they call it like a lift pass lift ticket yeah or the season a whole season worth free skiing so the tourists are coming to town they're they're like paying top dollar but the kids are just you go up there ski all you want free we should go up there with like a uh walk into the lodge with like a copy of Catcher in the Rye

and be like, oh no, we gotta do a report. Well, we can ski a little bit anyway. Oh my god, you kids look like shit. Yeah, it's because we've been reading this book so long. You kids are on death's door. Not unlike Holden Caulfield. Whoa! Okay, he's good. He's got a nice test.

There was something like that in the US. I think in Lake Placid they had this thing. Not that people could do it for free, but they had like, oh, if you want to try the luge, like kids or young people come up and try the luge, and you might just be good at it and like it. Because who gets a chance ever to be like, I want to try the luge? That's the thing with having kids or being a kid, just being a person.

When you have a kid, you have to expose them to all the different activities, activities you never would have thought. Your kid might be the best horseback rider ever to live. Like Springsteen's kid. There you go. Really? But you'd never know until you – She won a silver medal.

You'd never know until you take that kid and put him on a horse. And it's like you'd hate to be the parent that didn't show the kid all the different stuff. Didn't show the kid the horse. You've got to be the parent that didn't show the kid all the different stuff. Didn't show the kid the whole thing. You've got to try a million things, you know? I remember telling my dad, like, I was really into sports. I wanted to be, like, a star quarterback.

And he was like, no, podcasting is the way for you. Sit down by the microphone and talk. Do you guys remember that? Do you remember the football game that was on last year on Nickelodeon? Did you see that? It was on Nickelodeon? Did you see that? It was on Nickelodeon. Was it animated? Yeah, and when somebody would score a touchdown,

these CGI slime rockets would shoot out, and crazy stuff would happen on the screen. And it was because a lot of people aren't watching football anymore. The generation lower is sort of like, hey, it's football. You learn the rules a little bit. Kids, I love you. You don't need football. Don't worry about it. Remember our generation, it was

with hockey on Fox. They had the puck would light up like a Haley's Comet. Yeah, yeah. It was like a lightsaber. Currently in Canada, a lot of kids aren't playing hockey. They're playing more basketball. A lot of basketball players come down to the NBA in college. I remember when they...

The NBA college. I remember when they introduced Cletus on the NFL. I was like, hey, he's like the Terminator. Cool. And I was like, oh, he doesn't play. He's just a mascot. He's just a character for interstitials. Cletus! We love Cletus. Save Cletus.

He looks like Iron Giant. Guys, who theials? Cletus! We love Cletus. Save Cletus. He looks like Iron Giant. Guys, who the fuck's Cletus? Oh. Damn, you'd know him if you saw him. What is he? He's a big football robot.

And he's... He's like their graphic that like, when it's like they're going to commercial, he kind of like unfolds and like... He does a little

break dance like head spin thing. He's named Cletus? Yeah, like Cleets. Football Cleets. I thought he would be like Robo Man or something i thought he would uh talk more like cletus from simpsons yeah the slack-jawed yokel guys let's take it back to the drink huh yeah why we're getting melty but i'm due for number two wow it's really number two the big ones do, eh, Jeffy? I had some Penang pork

curry for lunch, and it's really digesting it. I can feel it breaking down each pork chunk. Wait, yeah, so that's what digests? Is this just sizzling through the food I ate? Yeah. And if you don't eat enough food before you have it, it'll sizzle through your stomach walls. Jesus. Right out your

hole through your whole butt. It's just like the acid in Roger Rabbit. Oh, yeah, Roger Rabbit. Hey, there you go. No, either way. Whether Zemeckis or Ridley. Hey, good one. In Roger Rabbit, it was called Dip. But whatever.

Speaking of Roger Rabbit, you know how Christopher Lloyd got flattened? Ouch, yeah. Yeah. I was walking here in los feliz the other day and i saw this is nasty so feel free to skip ahead if you don't want to get nastified boy i was passing this uh armenian mechanic shop that i go to and i looked down at the ground And I looked down at the ground. Oh, no.

And I saw a rat, New York style. Mike, you would have loved it. I know what you're going to say. Was there a pizza slice? No pizza to be found, but I'm sure he had already eaten it earlier. Or it could have been a West Coast taco rat or something. This rat was... Taco hamster. So basically, a flattened dead rat.

Somebody had driven over it with a car wheel and and it was perfectly pancaked pancaked two-dimensional but here's the weird thing no guts no blood so i'm guessing maybe maybe it died first dried out and then it got flattened because it looked like a flower that was pressed into two pages of a book and dried. And it was like, I had to stop. I was going to Starbucks to get egg bites. Those are great. You were telling me about egg bites.

I was just telling you because Tim turned me on to them. They're great. I go to Starbucks and get me and Jessica these bacon Gruyere egg bites. Sous vide. Is that what they call them? No. What's sous vide? Egg bite. Egg bite. they call them? No. What's sous vide? Egg bite. Egg bite.

Sous vide egg bites. What's sous vide? I don't know, but I think that's what they're called. Starbucks. Hold on, that little boy over there said he's right. Jessica says you're right. She eats them almost every day. I know the whole menu. I do the cheddar sausage. Sandwich.

Sandwich. Well, if you want to go low-carbo, they've got the cheddar bacon gruyere, kale mushroom, or the egg white one that's non-fat has roasted red pepper. I just got the kale and roasted red pepper because you got me the gruyere one, so I want to try those two.

You guys are doing kale and roasted red pepper at Starbucks? It's good. The roasted red pepper I didn't like as much. I just didn't like the pepper taste. Those are the health ones. Those are only 70 calories. No, you got to get that. You want to get...

I mean, I know it's no better than like McDonald's, but... Well, I dipped it in A1. But like a big ass sausage and cheddar is so good from Starbucks. Yeah, I believe it. They're hot as hell. Yeah. But I got to eat this shit. If I had a big...

You're talking about a treat. You don't eat those like regularly, right? This is... I'm talking fucking four days a week I eat this shit. If I had a big sock, you're talking about a treat. You don't eat those like regularly, right? I'm talking fucking four days a week I eat this shit. You're doing egg bites? Yeah. Oh, my God. I get a venti iced coffee with oat milk and Splenda and the cheddar gruyere egg bites. Okay.

That's how I maintain my figure. I made Hanford some egg bites the other day, hard boiled. Yeah. I said, we have egg bites at home, Mike. What makes them egg bites? That's so sad. It's like your parents are like, no, no, we'll make you the plaid pants, the skids. We'll sew them.

You mean like how my mom used to make me Lunchables? Yeah. So what was that, like Ritz and Oscar Mayer? Some crackers, cheese cut up in a different bag, and then pieces of pepperoni or ham cut up in a different bag. It's so funny because your mom is absolutely right, but when you were a kid, you're like, no fucking way. I want the Oscar Mayer brand. You know what I never had was the Lunchable.

Are they Oscar Mayer? I think so. I believe so. Got to be. They're the name in cheap meats. Lower Vienna sausage. Maybe a little bit after my time the popular lunchable was like the taco bell or like the pizza pizza i remember that one tacos and i never got any of that it was cold like little pizza paste you put on it

oh yeah and cheese that's so funny you squeezing a little marinara packet on your cracker and thinking it's like a pizza well no they gave you a little like kind of like a flat bready type of pita looking thing so it's a little bigger but you know did they give you a little wood-fired oven yeah another thing i wanted as a kid but my parents were like ew no we're not getting that is uh kid cuisine yeah is that a frozen yeah so it's like a uh penguin on it yeah yeah Yeah, so it's like a... Is that a penguin on it? Yeah, yeah, I think so. It was like TV dinner, right? Yeah, it was like a penguin with a skateboard and an electric guitar. It had like a little brownie in one of the segments. Yeah, and kid...

Never allowed to get that. Kid Cuisine was like in sort of like rainbow-y... Kid Cuisine, what about you? And I was like, oh, Kid Cuisine. And now I know those things are just like absolute dog shit. Oh my God. I remember having that or something like it. Now I know that things are just like absolute dog shit. Oh, my God. I remember having that or something like it. Now I know that they are bad.

The mashed potatoes was like, everything else was like, you couldn't touch it. It was so hot. The mashed potatoes had like an ice cube in it. I was like, this is wild. I rarely eat kid cuisine anymore. Yeah, I can't. I can't do it. That fucking, that kid cuisine, man, it's so funny that kids go for that.

They call it kid cuisine that's so lazy. But I do actually remember. There's a penguin on it. Or like dinosaur nuggets and shit like that. There's all sorts of weird, like. Those sell really well, I think. Reheatable, like kid food. Sorry, I'm pretending.

Go ahead. Well, I read a thing about dinosaur nuggets. Yeah, that is still going. Like those. Yeah, right? Didn't something just come out? Like they were doing well? That's like forever.

We grew up in the dino generation. I thought it was just the Jurassic craze. No, no. Kids now, like, I think it's more of an age thing. Like, no matter where you live and what year it is, when you turn nine, you start getting into T-Rexes big time. No, about the kid cuisine thing, I was going to say, you ever eat at Sizzler yes no i've been

to ponderosa's that kind of is like a cheap steak place ponderosa is uh a cowboy themed cheap steakhouse yeah yeah sizzler's like it's like it's a steak oh well oh yeah they their commercials are more about their like surf and turf like applebee's Fridays, or is it a little better? I think that they want to be that, but really people go to Sizzler for the buffet. Tim and Eric had a LA Guys video where they go to the one in Atwater. It's funny. But it's a cheap buffet, and I remember going there when I was a kid, and the kids' food section, they had a hot dog cart set up, but it wasn't serving hot dogs.

It was just like a hot table. And I was young, so I'm like five. And there's a big bumper sticker on the side of the hot dog cart kids food hot table. And it said kids rule. That's right. Just the idea that like like kid cuisine just like but i remember like getting my mac and cheese or whatever and then sitting back down with my parents and being like that's so weird like that sign it over there says kids rule but like

that i don't like every kid you know like there's a lot of kids like i like like i want to think that like you know some kids are cool and some kids are not cool and I remember like explaining this to my parents they're like yeah yeah I guess we're really good that's why you're one of the not cool kids

yeah we're starting to think you are the latter guys let's make our second round come back alright folks we'll see you in a bit. And we're back with our final thoughts on the Fernandito. I like it.

Amaro is going to be my weird liquor thing, like liqueur that I get into. I have a few. I have like Manizzotti or Mazzanotti or something like that. And Angelino. I like Fernet. I think I'm an Amaro guy. But is this still considered a Fernet Amaro?

Even though it's a Branca? Fernet Branca is the brand of Fernette Amaro. So yes, it is an Amaro. There's many different types of Amaro. I want to be that guy who you're at the bar and you look over and you see the weird guy. His shirt's unbuttoned a little too far. What's your deal? And I'm like, I have a whole thing.

There we go. We're going to keep moving along. Hold on. Hold on. I have a bronca I've been abroad I told you about the skiing in Montreal So yeah, it's weird It's new to me And I have an open heart

Good Good, good, good I am still on my first one That's how I'm doing over here That's not a good sign Not a good sign I'm not chugging it down I'm doing little my first one. That's how I'm doing over here. That's not a good sign. Not a good sign. I'm not chugging it down. I'm doing little sips, which I like.

I could see myself getting used to this. Is it an order again? Appointment only. Oh. For me. And would you make an appointment to be in Cordoba, Argentina, and maybe go to college for four years? Yeah, depending on what my majors they offer.

They have dork studies. Tim, Tim, Tim. Yeah, you don't need that. You're already a fucking PhD. Okay, alright. Okay, edit that out, Jeff, please. No. This feels like... Snip, snip, bitch. This feels like a drink like if I'm in the right bar.

Like, if I'm in, like, a sort of a low-light, cool... Sure. Bar. Maybe I'm by myself. I got my leather book under my arm. The King James Bible. Yep. No, this appointment only means, like, if other people are doing it, but also just,

like, venue. Yeah, well, if you go to a place where place where like they make a fucking Great Fernandito You're like alright I'll try it Yeah but there's only two ingredients how good can they make it I know that's the thing like I Unless they put something else in it this is kind of it right This is kind of it Well for me it's an order again and again

And again More than one in one night I feel like a college student in Argentina Waxed beef and all Well, for me, it's an order again and again and again. There you go. More than one in one night? Oh, you're doing two in one night? More than one? I feel like a college student in Argentina. Waxed beef and all. Stop that. And don't forget the hairy dick.

Oh, or hairy cock. Flopping around, drinking these. Anxious about my exams. Exams. Final exams. They're months away. While this one passes the final exam for the J-Man, it's a hit. I like Argentinian food, and when I eat it, I've only just had beers, like light lagers.

So I feel like next time I go to one of those Argentinian restaurants around here, I'm going to get myself one of these. See if they have it on the menu. Look, I love certain things from Argentinian... Oh, boy. of one of these. See if they have it on the menu. Look, I love certain things from Argentina. Oh, boy. Those little drinks working on me. Hey, it's not so bad after all. I like certain things from Argentina. One being Lionel Messi, world's

best soccer player. Kick, kick. Is he better than who's the guy I want to say? The famous, the one that I would know. Ronaldo. There's arguments to be made, but I the one that I would know. Ronaldo. Ronaldo. There's arguments to be made, but I like the way Messi plays better. Bend it like Messi.

That's right. So you do know one other one. I bend it like blank. Okay. Bend it like Bender from Futurama. Or Bender from The Breakfast Club. How did Bender smoke cigars? He's a robot. Ah, for a different podcast.

We should have one of the writers come on and explain. But yeah, this is interesting to me. The taste is interesting in the same way the Trinidad Sour was interesting, but I like the Trinidad Sour better. But this isn't like I sip it and I'm going to throw up everywhere. Trinidad Sour is going to be our official drink of this holiday season. Because when we had it, we said this is a very cheery holiday cheer type of a drink. You gave me a great idea.

You know, we like the IBA. It's our guiding light. We like it. I mean, we abide by it. But we stray, don't we? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean, they don't have we stray don't we Yeah Oh yeah Yeah I mean

They don't have They sure do They don't have the Bud light out of office Back on there I think wouldn't it be cool If in the holiday season We said fuck it

Trinidad Sour 2 Is an episode And we just We just do a whole Another episode That could be That could be maybe A fun guest thing

Let's get fucking Giuseppe Gonzalez on here Holy shit That's a fucking great Do you think we could do it But Jack Schramm probably- We talk to the Schrammer. Schrammer sets up a meeting with us at Death & Co.

We sit. We sit. All the drinks are free. I get soused. I forget to ask Giuseppe what he's doing. Dude, that's a fantastic idea. The meal never comes. I pass out.

I wake up, so we're strange. Did we get Gi a sepia? Did we record the episode? No. You've pulled? Oh, my God. The mind reels. Is Butterbean okay?

Is Butterbean okay? It's a Trinidad sour Christmas special. Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong. Yeah, that's good. Damn. I also had a good idea in that episode is the three of us, we walk into a house party or something. You look at our hand, not bottles of beer, bottles of bitters. Drinking Angostura straight from the papery fucking bottle.

Tim, no, Tim, didn't you learn anything from Giuseppe? You got to balance it out. Oh, Giuseppe's an asshole. Oh, no, Tim would already get it if you talked like that. We like him. Oh, Giuseppe's an asshole. Oh, no, no, no. We don't really get it if you talk like that. We like him. Oh, my God. Do you think we could, um, do you think you could put bitters in, like, orange bitters in a beer?

Yeah. Yeah. Well, you might get bitter, bitter beer face. Yes! Well, I think we've come to our conclusion. Sorry, everybody. That's our show. Follow us on social media, at The Sloppy Boys Where we release these recipes Ahead of time
