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. This chit chat is shit chat. Tim Kalpakis. Up. What is up? Oh, oh wow i see what he's doing wait is he like is he like shatner now i thought it was like a yoda thing at first but it was not it was a connery bond thing all along you fools well he doesn't he doesn't switch oh Oh, Bond. Yeah, I see what you're saying. No, here, I'll do it.

Mike, listen to this. Ready, Mike? Yeah, do it again. Do it again. Up. What is up? Groovy, baby. Now, you made an interesting point about how chit-chat is shit-chat.

Well, it couldn't be. It couldn't be. It could be. I said could and couldn't at the same time. Couldn't be it could be i said i said uh could and couldn't at the same time couldn't be um i think we're gonna be a little off this episode you said those words at the same time me i'm all jittery because i had an evening venti iced coffee from starbucks you don't want to do that you know i drink them in the morning and it just wakes me up so i think i'm impenetrable but then i just had one in the evening,

and now I actually kind of feel like my hands are shaking a little bit. Damn. Why do they call it venti? Is venti because it's so tall it goes from the ground up to the vents? Jesus Christ. Mike, can I talk to you off-bond? Mike, don't say that sort of shit. If it's about this, I'd love to.

Don't say that shit. I feel like I'm making an ass of myself. Sorry, Jeff, what were you saying? I'm an ass of myself. Don't say that sort of shit on the pod. And then don't also say that chitchat is chitchat. That's our whole business. The business of chitchat? Yeah, we monetize chitchat.

That's our bread and butter. The audience knows what they're getting. Tim, I couldn't help but notice you got yourself one of those white claw Dilexos. Yeah. Dilexos. Yeah. Dilexo Supremo. I'm trying to take the edge off of my Starbucks buzz with this White Claw Surge Cranberry, 8% alcohol. Damn.

All right. That's a good Portman speedball you got going. Yeah. Tim's a little jittery. He's juiced up. I'm a little sluggish tonight i just i just finished my pot roast my rump roast i made a rump roast tonight so he's sluggish and made you tired oh you finished eating it or you finished making it finished eating it oh and i had two helpings uh the polar opposite of of of a venti iced coffee is a rump roast. I had a rump roast, which was a little tough.

I'm just first time I'm doing it, so I got to figure it out. But it was edible. The taste was good. I did mashed potatoes with pub cheese melted in it. Oh, shit. Shower cream and green beans, stir fried green beans with squash and onions. Now, folks at home, Mike is the master of the square meal. As long as I've known him, he's had a protein, a vegetable, and a starch.

And to drink, nonfat milk. He's a country boy. Wow. A glass of milk. That's why I'm growing so tall. That's why I'm a little venti So tall Are you still adding inches to your height at this point?

Yeah, well I'm still growing them Yeah? Sure I asked the doctor I said, hey, if I'm still growing them Can I still count them? He's like, yeah, that's sort of my job too Yeah, it's a square meal around here

That's nice Always has been It's like that meme Where an that's nice always has been it's like that it's like that meme where an astronaut's got a gun on another astronaut always has been you know i'm talking about no what's that all about never seen that meme ah there's a lot of memes i haven't seen i can picture it it's like uh an astronaut is looking at the earth and he's like wow it's round and then another astronaut is behind him with a gun on his back saying always has been. Yeah.

I don't know what the original meme was. I was just making that up, but you know, you see it. It's, it's all sorts of things now. Gotcha. Yeah.

It could be anything at this point. Well, now what are you, what are you guys eating for dinner? Like if you don't eat square meals, what are you eating? Opposite of you. I'll,

I'll have like, like for lunch today, I had like a leftover. I mean, it's very much leftovers these days. I had a leftover hot and sour soup from a Chinese delivery order. So like right before this pod, I reached in there, took out the big container, gulped down some cold soup. And I'm often just eating like just a protein or just a veggie side. I'm never having a round plate of food.

Same. Even for dinner? If I go to a restaurant, they'll serve me a nice round meal. Now, I do this too, Tim, but you care about food. But it seems like you eat hastily and haphazardly. but it seems like you eat hastily and haphazardly. Well, I mean, I just, I don't know what happened, but I have just sort of stopped cooking.

So we will have, you know, I'll get a giant order of a take, a delivery meal. I'll say I'll get, whether it's like kebabs or it's Indian food or it's Chinese, I never just order the one dinner i get us like several dinners worth of food so then it's kind of always leftovers but then i never that's good but what i should do is build a nice plate of nuket but instead i'm just going in there one wanton but also tim i don't know if you do this like i'll drink so much coffee during the day that i'll be like oh why am i all fucked up, it's 5 p.m. and I haven't eaten since breakfast.

And then I'll be like, I'm going out soon, though. All I have is baby carrots and I'll eat a fuckload of baby carrots. And that'll be it. Or it'll be like baby carrots and cereal. Dude, yeah. Cereals are pretty good. Cereals are a good enough meal. Not a square meal, though.

You got a good foundation, Mike. Here's my worst thing is this. Because I want to have square meals. cereal's a good enough meal not a square meal though you you got a good foundation mike here's my my worst thing is this i'll because i want to have square meals i buy us i've always always got salad stuff here with the idea that i'm going to make us some big salads that are that have fun things on them and i used to do that a lot okay elaine stop it all right you knew you were the way you said it makes me think it's not all right stopping there's no stopping them sign belt now on netflix check it out folks but on a serious note um i'll so i always have like a few bags of lettuce in the fridge and then let's go bad

i've got all the crunt in my cabinets jeff you got to get into this those go bad up it they do i mean i throw out brown muck every week a bag of brown mud don't you also do something else with brown muck every he was about to tell me what i need to do okay yeah let's get into what you guys saw some of that in my toilet bowl the other day i had flushed it down anyway jeff here's what you do like your friend tim you get all the crunchers. I look up into my cabinet, right? Yeah, yeah. I've got wonton strips.

I've got tortilla strips. I've got beet strips. I've got sesame seeds. I've got almonds. And it's all the stuff to go on the top of my salads. But when I'm being lazy, which is way more often, I'll go in there and I'll just,

I'll just be eating like, like the Chinese chow mein crunchers. They're supposed to go on the top of my salad. I'll just be taking them to the dome. Eat them, eating them as chips. Oh man. Yeah.

Yeah. I used to do like the La Choy, La Choy thing. I used to do that as a, as a little. I used to do that as a little boy. I had joy as a very little boy. Wait, what's the LaCroix thing? LaCroix is a brand. I know that.

What kind of food? What kind of food were you eating? Like those little noodles, fried noodles. Oh, okay. Crunchy. Hey, little crunchies. Oh, up top, I wanted to mention that out in the wild, I always like it when I encounter some sloppy boy stuff out in the wild, right?

It's kind of fun for me to say, I learned that on the pod. Oh, yes. And now in life, I'm not dumb. Wow. I'm smart. So, I've taken the opportunity from this podcast to mansplain to anyone who will talk to me yeah things are the bottom of the pot go ahead i'm mansplaining to other men at this point yeah me too some mansplaining you too um listen to this trifecta um i recently attended

the wedding of friend of the pod eva anderson oh nice and this was was was an intimate affair family only because of covet and stuff and and you know i attended on it as both a friend of eva but let's be honest more of a plus one of jessica uh so so i i'm at this this wedding that was very well eva's uh i mean you know we said she's a cultured worldly lady right she knows her shit so i'm going to this wedding thing and this is there's going to be some a good cocktail list yeah yeah you betcha i'll walk in if i look at the cocktail list they've done the thing that's your neck oh where's the men's room sorry don't keep going i'll just i can do this the whole i walk up to the bar and i lay my peepers down on the menu they've got two cocktails that are

the feature cocktails of the day one two whose voice is that yeah it's your her brain oh it's my inner monologue one is the drink of the of of the uh bride oh the boulevardier wow torn from the headlines of sloppy boys yeah do you think she heard well it comes out i'm sure she would have it i'm sure she would have had to plan it in advance but it was perfectly timed for me. Then listen to this. The other drink was the Russian root. Wow. I was going to bring some warm mug and put it on the ground. I thought that would have been really funny.

No, the drink of the groom, Vesper. You're kidding me. The drink of the day. This is crazy. Okay, now my head is spinning. Yep. And here's the third. This is before the cocktails, I'm assuming.

And there were quite a few tipped that night. But then they've got a very cool thing. They've got an Exotica band. I've talked to you guys about Martin Denny and Exotica music. They've got an Exotica band that had not yet set up, but I see the instruments and I walk over to the xylophone and you know me, if I see some music gear, I'm going to go poke around a little bit. Especially if it's in the Exotica genre.

I go up to the xylophone and there's a sheet, there's a music stand there And I look at song one. Yeah. They're going to play. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yellow bird. Get out of here.

Come on. By Arthur Lyman. Yeah. The song that we played in our yellow bird episode. The song that sent Mike climbing to the top of yellow bird trees. So this was all within a one minute period. And I said, we're good. Yeah.

That's crazy. That's crazy. That's, that's, uh, you got to sit down for a second and say, all right, who is, whose world am I in here? What, uh, what microchips did I get in the vaccine? Here's what brought me down to earth. Then also recently I go, i go to see the french dispatch at the americana walk up to the bar and i say hey can i have a negroni and then i i got a

little toad from the bartender no we don't have a negroni so i was right a little too high on be a little cocktail boy yeah i heard about you at the wedding you gotta wait where where did you dare order a negroni at the the Americana movie theater bar. Oh, in Glendale. At the AMC Glendale. But then I says to him, buddy, I'm going to see the French Dispatch. It's kind of a fancy little movie. I want a fancy little drink.

I don't want to drink a beer. I look behind him. I see a bottle of Di Serrano. I say, give me a Di Sererono on the rocks with a cherry. And that was pretty good. Ooh, nice. You're like, I'm going to make you grab some weird bottle, you old fucker.

Yeah, you want to say no to me? I'm not taking a beer, you jackass. Hey, we should go there for the Jackass movie. Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow. Tim, I do want to bring up something for the listener who can't see. That's a crazy story, by the way. It's three in a row, bing, bing, bing. Thank you.

Wild. We're doing this podcast. They were recording. And Tim, I got to tell you, Halloween was a couple of weeks ago, and yet this guy is still dressed like Beetlejuice. Look at this shirt he's got on. Oh, fuck.

I had that coming. You sit here and you tell me, Jeff, that this guy's not looking like Beetlejuice? No, no. That's a good shirt, fuck. I had that coming. You sit here and you tell me, Jeff, that this guy's not looking like Beetlejuice? No, no. That's a good shirt, Tim. It's got big, bold, vertical stripes on it. Half Hunter green, half Dodger blue. Oh, see, on my screen, I'm seeing all black stripes.

Oh, no. It's green and blue. Mike, are you colorblind? Are we learning? No, no, no. Me, no. Jeff, thank you. You've complimented learning? No, no, no, no. Me, no. Jeff, thank you. You've complimented this shirt before,

so when I was putting it on today, I said, I don't want to wear that shirt Jeff likes. At least Jeff will like it. Yeah. Nobody else seems to like me on this earth. On this earth. At least I got my little duddy buddy after all. In the end.

Enough shit chat. You guys want to get down to the drink of the day? Yes, of course. Okay. Here's what's going on here, folks. We are inching toward the dry martini. We are working our way to the big bopper itself. The clit.

Slowly. The big boy. Slowly but inevitably. We love. The funny drunkard's drink. We love martinis. The IBA calls it the dry martini. We just call it the martini.

But we're getting there. And along the way, we've touched on the espresso martini, the hot drink of the year. We've touched on the tuxedo, a variation, you know, on the martini. And today, we're doing Vesper. The Vesper. Oh, yeah, yeah. There we go. Now you're sounding more like Connery.

You've had? Never had. Heard. Tim, I've had. Never had. Tim. Had. I've had. Never had. Tim. Had. I had with you at, oh, the Dresden, of course.

Oh, yes. Getting all these old-fashioned drinks at the Dresdy. That was a nice, hey, we did a round of Vespers, and then we also did a round of Gibsons, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, with the little onions in them. Look, that was a long night. That was a real long night, because that wasn't the first stop either. So I forgot about those gift stans.

Yeah, you know what's weird? Unrelated, the next day, I felt kind of sick. Yeah, no shit. Must have been something going around that night. Oh, COVID. Well, yeah, it could have been a Delta variant. Yes, that's what it was. a variant yes that's what it was um i first had this at dantana's uh that kind of great kind of rowdy little italian place in west hollywood and basically what we're getting out here folks is

this is a drink named after a bond lady vesper lind yes mike have you read the 1953 novel casino royale by ian fleming i have my dear boy and i i was looking at my bookshelf and i cannot find the book but uh yes i've read that it was the first one of the series i was gonna try to read through them all and i read that one and another one casino royale yeah yeah casino now what's weird is that casino royale is the first bond book yeah it's it's a serious secret agent story but the 1967 movie casino royale is like a jokey parody peter seller's silly movie right i don't know why they did that because then the the 2006 daniel craig casino royale is just a like a movie version of the book yeah well i think that you know they just found other things to do with bond and they were like we're not going to start with the first book we're going to we're going to start with dr no and

right do all that and uh you know folks if you like this bond talk we just talked about gold finger on the blowout on wednesday it's Bond week. It's Bond week. It's week. Bond week. Remember that on Comedy Bang Bang, there was a very funny sketch written by Joe Saunders where Scott's going to a prom and he puts on his tux and he's like, the name's Bond, James Bond. And then the whole thing yeah check it out online anyway um in mike's beloved novel that he seems to love so much casino royale there's a scene where um james bond is uh gambling at the titular casino royale and he places an order with a little french waiter and he says a dry martini one in a deep champagne goblet and the waiter says oui monsieur

and then bond says actually just a moment and he changes his order he says three measures of gordon's one of vodka half a measure of quinoa shake it very well until it's ice cold and then add a large thin slice of lemon peel got it and then later bond explains when i'm concentrating i never have more than one drink before dinner but i do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well made i hate small portions of anything particularly when they taste bad. This drink's my own invention. I'm going to patent it when I think of a good name. And then later in the book, he meets the kind of femme fatale Vesper, and he names this drink after her.

Wow. And that is the invention of the drink. Oh, that's wild. Wow. So I think, but here's how Ian Fleming got it. That's wild. Wow. So I think, but here's how Ian Fleming got it.

Basically, the word Vesper is like some sort of aspect of evening mass in Catholicism, like a Vesper. Oh, yeah. Are they candles or something? Maybe. Vesper candles? Like nighttime candles? No, it's votive candles.

Votive candles is what I'm thinking of. Well, there's something Catholic that's evening related about a Vesper. And then there used to be a Caribbean rum drink called the Vesper that was an evening drink. And Ian Fleming had had that on vacation once, liked the name, but didn't think it fit Bond. So when he was writing this book, he asked a friend of his who knew cocktails, hey, what's a good drink for Bond to order? And his buddy was like, how about this? Where it's like vodka and gin and Lillet instead of vermouth. Because normally James Bond would order a vodka martini shake and not stirt, which is what you hear in Goldfinger.

Anyway, this drink is mentioned in this movie. It catches on. In the Daniel Craig 2006 Casino Royale, they did this scene verbatim. Even with the fake-out where he orders a dry martini and then changes his mind. That's awesome.

And does he flub the lines at all, or he got them down perfect and they kept it in the movie? Daniel Craig, like he gets the line right, but then he slips on a lemon peel. Oh, geez. Couldn't cut around it. He turns the camera and he goes, put that on the reel. Blooper reel.

Which is weird. Hey, it is kind of crazy. You know how like Bond has gone through so many like versions like not just actors but like some of them are silly and some of them are kind of crazy yeah james bond jr it's funny like what what was the state of the franchise when they made that silly one and like it just doesn't seem like you would make a comedy version with james bond source material if the franchise was going well. Very strange.

You wouldn't take the piss out of it. And it's too soon. It's like three years after Goldfinger, they're already doing a wacky comedy. And also, I tried watching it and I was not enjoying it. And it's like Austin Powers like flat out kind of just took some jokes from it. Like, it's very weird. like flat out kind of just took some jokes from it like it's very weird well because like the whole the whole thing of that movie is that the achilles heel of secret servicemen is that they can't turn down sex right like so they're all they're all like a bunch of horny different

james bonds yeah yeah yeah unlike us who remain rather pious oh yes quite chaste went on a went on a mission yeah when we're on our podcast mission to drink all of the IBA lists. I was just going to then bring us up to the modern decade. Have either of you seen Last Night in Soho? Not yet. No, Tim, I have not. Is it a horror movie? No, it's like a thrillery.

It's the new Edgar Wright. It's the new Edgar Wright, and it's like a thrillery like uh it's the new edgar wright it's the new edgar wright and and it's like a 60s thing um i haven't seen but if it's edgar wright i don't want to be wrong i will watch that um contest winner neil campbell has seen it and i was asking him because i i heard that there was like a vesper in that movie but i haven't seen the movie yet and i said what's the because you know i'm always trying to know like who who orders a vesper right yeah what type of person why what why what what what who covid i think um it's pretty clear that a vesper is a fancy drink right it's an elegant choice and yeah and the way that it's used in Casino Royale is basically Bond is kind of showboating. Instead of just getting a dry martini, he's got this very specific,

you know, like instead of vodka and or vodka or gin, he's going vodka and gin. And instead of vermouth, it's Lillet. So you're kind of impressing people with an elegant drink. Impressed me. Neil told me that he was like, I was was like can you like tell me the whole scene where there's a vesper in last night in soho and he says like a lady like is in the 60s maybe there's a time travel element or something like that but she orders in the 60s swing in 60s she orders a vesper and that's like the cool thing to do and then like later in a different time period she's in more of like a divey place and orders a vesper and people are

like oh that's too fancy for here so yeah i think that that edgar wright was using the vesper as like the elegant drink of like uh of soho in the so tim did that resonate with you having been unable to order a negroni at the amerana. That's exactly how I felt. Shot down. So what's in this thing? I mean, James Bond already told us, but give us the sort of podcast standard recipe. Yeah, the IBA has done,

because the James Bond version is gigantic. So I think they've kind of done the math for us. He drinks so much in that book. Like the movies in the book. It's crazy. He's got a problem. It's like the 60s thing, like the Mad Men thing where they drink like martinis at lunchtime. Just sort of constantly. Yeah.

Yeah. According to the IBA, we're going to do 45 millimeters. Millimeters. Damn, you got to pour it on the table and measure it? Okay, so this supports my venti case. Yeah, all the way up to the vent in your ceiling. 45 milliliters of gin. That's an ounce and a half, folks.

15 milliliters of vodka. That's a half an ounce, folks. Seven and a half milliliters of Lillet Blanc. That's a quarter of an ounce. Are you guys familiar with Lillet Blanc? Yeah, we just used it. Yeah. Yes.

What did we use it in? We used it in the... Corpse Reviver? Yeah. Yep. So here's the thing. James Bond ordered a Quina Lillet and there's no such thing as Quina L lily anymore so so the iba says to use

a little a blanc but basically lily i think it would there was a recipe changed that got changed in like yeah we talked about that and lily was just like no we didn't change it exactly but people who know their shit um say if you want to really taste what James Bond had, instead of Lillet, you should use Cokie Americano. Yeah, if you want to taste what a fake character tasted. But the difference is just bitterness. Quinoa Lillet has quinine in it, you know, or as the British say, quinine. It's the stuff that's in tonic water that, that is bitter. You guys don't like bitterness.

So you would not like Cokie Americana. No. Um, IBA says, uh, little a Blanc, which is, you know,

it's, it's a French white wine liqueur. That's very sweet and very pleasant. And I like it. And I like it better than Vermouth. Me too. You know what I'll say about this, this drink.

It's, it's a, it's a classy drink. Classy because of Bond, you think? Or classy, it would have been classy anyway? Because of Bond. Well. Well, I think there's something rather crude about gin and vodka together. I love it.

But that almost feels like there's a really good martini at Rao's that's gin and vodka. And I think they're saying like, yeah, dude, you're going to. This is like a masculine martini. In this case, it's kind of funny. I don't know. It depends who orders it. If Mr. Bean ordered it, it wouldn't be cool. Mr. Bean, he gets into a lot of trouble.

There we go. Not very talkative, though. No. No, but he's funny. He gets into a lot of trouble. There we go. He's not very talkative, though. No, but he's funny. He's funny. It's kind of funny that Mr. Bean is not like a silent character. He does talk. He murmurs all the time. He says some stuff.

Le Blanc. Oh, so what I was going to say is this is a fancy drink, but it's very's very simple yes a simple drink for three simple men um the method is pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass garnish with a lemon zest um so yeah jeff do you have fond memories of this drink when we had it i have foggy memories of this drink when we had it tim my i've never made one for myself i always like it when i've ordered it but i i still am i'm more of a dry martini guy i'm always gonna like

an olive over a twist but i'm amped up and revved up and jazzed to make this in my own kitchen right now. Me too. Let's go. Let's do it. You know what I might do? I might put on, you know that song that's like shake, shake, shake, shake your booty. I might put that song on while I'm doing the shaking part. I'm going to do that song that's like

stir, stir, stir, stir your ass around. Well, you have not made the drink correctly. I was going to do a song, too, but I'm going to actually just make mine in silence. Perfect. Not unlike the Benedictine monks who make... Chartreuse! Folks, we'll see you in a bit.

Are they Benedictine? Shit! No, they're Carthusian. Damn. The Benedictine monks make Benedictine liqueur. Don't edit this out, Jeff. No, it's all in. We don't edit this show.

I've got one of these small, tiny martini glasses. Hey, check it out. Coop glass. Jeffy's got a Coop glass. When did this happen? Jeffy's got the Cooper. I got it at Target. That's great.

Before we continue here, I just want to ask you guys something. And I don't have to do this if it's a problem, but I brought a little snack. I just want to know if this is okay on the podcast. If not, I can totally nix it and eat it later. Totally. Yeah, sure. Oh. He's having an on-mic blue tortilla chip.

I got blue tortilla chips and salsa. Mike, you just had a giant rump roast. What are you doing? You said you were full. Full and tired. I'm not full anymore. All right, so I won't do this. So you're you said you were full full and tired i'm not full anymore all right so i won't do this so you're concerned about my being full then fine i won't eat them for the rest of the show um i did a you know uh i'm working on a job right now that's over zoom

one inch long chunks put them in my mouth and then just kind of let i never chewed i let the banana just melt on the tongue like it was communion wafers. Weird. Like the body of Christ itself. Yeah, yeah. Transubstantiation. And it really did like melt and just kind of like slide down my throat. Gross. That's fucking gross. That's gross, but even the starting with the pulling it off of the hand, I don't like that move of myself. I don't like that.

I don't like banana residue on my hand. I think banana residue is weird. Yeah? Well, I'm gonna do it. Yeah. Well, I just couldn't do it. What do we do? We got sips to do. So no with the chips then. No chips, yes sips.

Gotcha, great. Wow, look at them. Cheers, y'all. I don't cheers. Cheers, Moneypenny. Cheers. Q, this... Q and also M. Yazoo.

Bondi boy. Okay. I tell you what. If I go to a casino, I am not drinking one of these to gamble. My brain will be elsewhere quickly. You're gambling with your life and you drink this. Yeah, man. That's a nice stiff teeny.

Not too much. The Lillet is in a good amount because it didn't turn it into a sweet affair. Yeah. I wonder what this would taste like. I'm already wondering. Let me take a second sip. Jeez Louise, I'm

already putting variations on the Vespa Martini. Purr. Vesh puramartinu. Purr. Veshpurr. Tim, this talking like Bond is getting old, not getting old. Oh! I like it. See, James should have used that trick to kind of like fake you out.

When you express that zest express your zest oh that could have been good ah like express yourself um um it's amazing how much that like dominates i'm only just it's on my hands and it's on in my nose and it's like really impacting the taste even though it's not really in there yeah uh because it's all alcohol this is not a lot to uh fill this thing out with bubbles or soda or anything this is i mean we've talked about this before but this is a real chest warmer yeah it's a real stiff little bugger but i love this stiff um i think i mean i love love love martinis and i'm also liking all these variations because you're not fucking around it's a it's all about cold liquor and you're

just drinking liquor but if you get it really cold i i just read um punch magazine had an interesting article recently about steakhouses and and what's going on and is that the boxing periodical oh god i could just wring your little neck right now all you gotta do is say yes or no no it's a yes or no question you can say that why were you british for that question what drinking the james bond drink what he was from britain well they were talking about how steakhouses are, it's all about indulgence, right? It's like you just get like an a la carte, like a ribeye, like a big fat 20 ounce piece of meat on a plate. And it's about the, you're being a bad boy when you eat that, you know? Yeah. And they said the same thing carries over.

know yeah and they said the same thing carries over and it's like the sides are like like potatoes au gratin are so fatty and all the salads are like really like mayonnaise and stuff they said that that's kind of why martinis and old fashions are the drink at steakhouses is because it's like just give me the give me the liquor give me the thing the modern thing at steakhouses is like in that article it said something about like just getting them like crazy cold i think that like they're now like serving like sub-zero martinis and they found like sciencey ways to make it crazy well doing mine uh i did a tangare and titos and i pulled you know i pulled that titos right out of the freezer yeah and when i was shaking that thing it was like hurting my hand getting it getting it out all the last drops because it was like i said so small i want i want every drop sure hurting your hand because of the the freezy

effect yep i use tangare too have you guys ever had tangare 10 no have you heard of it 10 calories it's tangare but it's like i don't know what the 10 stands for but it's uh just a little better than tangare 10 10 units better 10 units of taste my understanding is to be the type of thing if uh you know you had a jose cuervo and then you had a cuervo silver and then gold whatever sure yeah well like you know makers has like a has like a makers 95 or whatever we're Talking about the cold drinks, when I went to Duke's, where old Ian Fleming came up with the shake and not stirred idea for his bond in London, they brought out the ingredients. They sort of make them right in front of you there.

You sit down, they wheel a cart around. Yeah, they brought all these liquors out from this freezer room they had. Man, I love a cart. That's so fun. Yeah. Yep. What did you do? You know, I think I had something maybe similar to this,

because I remember it having gin and vodka in it. But I don't think it was called a Vesper. I think it had other things in it as well. But it really knocked me down. It was not good. Not good. Technical or yawn? things in it as well. But it really knocked me down. I was like, it was not good. Not good? Technical or yawn?

No, no, no. I went over to the Buckingham Palace and just messed with tourists and were like, I may have told this story already. You're supposed to mess with the beefeater guards, not with the tourists.

No, I didn't even go that far. Oh, man. I was sitting there and be like Excuse me Excuse me People like taking pictures Like could you tell me Where the Buckingham Palace is And they were like Oh this is it

I'm like oh yeah Andrew you know what that reminds me of In Chicago that made me laugh We went to Lou Malnati's With Cassidy And then we were like Let's go check out the bean And then we went to that park

And then you know There were a bunch of people people sitting around on the bench minding their own business. Yeah, now what is that bean? What did they call that? That bean is called the Millennium... Cloud Gate. Cloud Gate in Millennium Park.

That big silver bean. And you went up to a family who was vacationing and just eating something at a park bench and you're like... They're eating their lunch. And you're like, this is going to sound crazy, but is there like a giant silver bean in this park? And the lady was really sweet. She was like, it's not crazy. If you go around the thing there or behind the shrubs, yes, you'll see it.

It's the one attraction everybody goes there for. I didn't realize I was hanging out with a couple of Margeras. I know. Geez, we should do the next Jackass 5. You're like April and Phil, Margeras. You guys are I know, geez, we should do the next Franky people. The next Jackass 5. You're like April and Phil, Margera. You know,

as I was singing Shake, Shake, Shake when I was making my drink, Sure. it made me think of in Goldmember, the Austin Powers movie, there's, it's like,

hey, hey, hey, hey, Goldmember. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. He might as touch, but he hey, hey, gold member. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. He might have touched, but he touched it too much. Speaking of comedy movies, I would just remind, when you said Tengare 10, I had a flash of the movie 10 with Bo Derek, which I've never seen. But are you aware of this? It's like a.

Yeah. Nope. I've never seen it, but I know it is. I still have never seen it, but here's what I was just thinking. You know when you're a kid and there's a reference to something? You're watching Looney Tunes and Bugs is like, it could have been a contender. And you're like, yeah, he could have been a contender, mom.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's doing a James Cagney. Like Frank Sinatra or whatever. Wait, what's Cagney? You dirty rat. And I'd be like what's cagney you dirty rat and i'd be like yeah he's a dirty rat anyway a version of that is in tommy boy beau derrick is getting out of the pool and chris farley is like she's dead she's a 10 and and i was always like yeah that lady is a 10 not knowing that's a reference to a movie from the 80s called 10,

starring Bo Derek, and they were recreating the movie poster with that iconic shot. Wow. And she's with Dudley Moore, right? It's Dudley Moore, if you ask me. Well, have you ever seen Arthur? Arthur's a really funny movie. I never have, and if I do watch it, I'm going to watch the Russell Brand one.

Now, Dudley Moore, I believe, was in The Goon Show with Peter Sellers, star of Casino Royale. Okay. And Spike Milligan. Really? I think. Comes around.

Or were they in Beyond the Fringe? Huh. Boy. I'll tell you this. They're British. Well, that's for sure, yeah. Well, we've lost all of our younger listeners. And some of the older ones.

Yeah, I would say even like Baby Boomers would be tuning out. That's like greatest generation. Hey, folks, if you're pre-war, you got to tune into the Sloppy Boys. I was just having this conversation with... Acast. I love Acast Media. I pay extra to not hear the Manscaped ad. I was talking with Sloppy Boys director Boy's director, John Haskell, the other day.

Sure. And we were talking about generations. What generation is before Boomer? Is that the greatest generation? Greatest generation. I think in their day, they were called GI, the GI generation. And then I think that Brokaw, his book coined the term the greatest generation. Now, is there anything before that?

That back then was the flappers and the party boys. Yeah. I thought I heard. Before that, early man. The underdog. Cave drawings and stuff. Because isn't the sort of idea here is that just generations were sort of uh concocted as a because like madison avenue and advertising got so big and it was a way to track

like numbers and stuff right they do seem to be coming faster don't they maybe yeah i it's all because of boomers because you know you would have like victorian era and elizabethan era and those eras are bigger you didn't need to track generations until the baby boomers because that was the big there there was a baby boom yeah everybody came home from world war ii and had babies the gis had babies and how did that so you had to name all those kids because it was just like it was a very large generation all of a sudden and now i feel like uh you know time is moving so fast and culture is moving so fast that we're naming generations despite them despite their size or but it's because like gen x was small and that

was notable about gen x now that millennials were the kids of the boomers so we're big again gen z is a little smaller again jesus okay i guess my idea about it being just a purely an advertisement game was way off no but you're right though because like i i think that like uh don draper was a gi it's it's profitable to track that we can appeal to this the people born between this year and this year because their values are different. Demographics. Yeah, demographics are, it's important to chart that stuff now in capitalism. Because a baby boomer was like a teenager in the 50s, right? And a teenager was like, that's the first time there was like an idea of a teenager.

Right, because you used to just, you'd be a kid and then you had to go to the factory and work yeah uh there was no there was no time to wear converse yeah or cruise around in your these days these days you can wear chuck taylor's for 20 30 years and be an adolescent and like media has part part to do with it too because all those movies would come out like i was a teenage martian or like like the idea of a teenager kind of came out yeah and there was the idea of like oh a juvenile delinquent uh they really made him made a meal out of like teens yeah yeah like a rebel but he didn't exactly have a cause rebellion wow um if we get it on the ground floor no one has really named the generation that comes after gen z yet so if we want to say like look the the sloppy boys generation generation yeah slap if if if you're kind of getting

little tanked on yellow birds in the yellowbird tree and conceiving kids. Those are sloppy babies. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like Muppet babies. They're like a small version of you. Mm-hmm. Gonzo and all the rest. This is a good little drink you got going here.

How would you tweak it? Look, this isn't above reproach. I was wondering if you could do a dirty Vesper. What would that be? Same thing here, except with an olive. Maybe a little of that olive. You know, I have some olives. I might fucking do that, Mike.

Shit, okay. I wonder how the Lillet will jive with an olive, because Lillet's kind of sweet. But I do think gin, vodka, and olive. That's good. But I got to tell you, Tim tim sometimes vermouth is a little sweet that's true especially when you're dealing with sweet vermouth yeah he's got it there too i kind of got you up against the wall on this one i know you hate to do this to me but yeah you gotta yeah you gotta tell me that especially such a public forum. That's tough. I admit that you're right in front of all the listeners.

That's big of you. Well, do you want to take a little break and we'll come back for round two? Are you guys going to do little mix-em-ups with your round two? I'm going to do a little bit of the, I'll try the olive thing I was talking about. Okay. All right, folks. We'll see you in a jiffy. Peace.

Bye. we'll see you in a jiffy peace and we're back with uh some tweaks on the vesper yep i did uh three olives and just a little splash of the juice and i made i made like a half of the amount that the recipe was. So getting that tiny bit of Lillet in there was tough. But it is in there. Lillet? It is in there. Yeah, Lillet. I just kind of put a little splash-er-ini.

And Timothy, you got an olive yourself? Yeah, I made another round of the Vesper by the book, but then I don't think this is going to work. I put a big fat blue cheese olive in there. Yeah. And as for me, still buy the book over here. Got it. It's pretty martini over here.

Dirty martini. Yeah, you know, like, I know we're tiptoeing towards the martini i just want these all to just be martinis i know yeah although i have been seeing a shitload of uh espresso martinis out there in the wild really yeah and when i see one i go i want one too that blue cheese olive oh there you go yeah but that's a cheat yeah you can put a blue cheese olive. Oh! There you go. Yeah, but that's a cheat. Yeah. You can put a blue cheese olive in anything. It makes it good.

I just fished it out and ate it. I haven't even... I feel like the... Yeah. I guess it kind of works. The lily does clash with an olive, but there's not so much lily in there as compared to vermouth. So it kind of does work.

It works. It works. Okay, let's get into final thoughts, huh? Mm-hmm. Not it. I will say this is good. It's a little, I like a regular martini better, but boy, this is very close. Because it's basically gin, and you're a gin martini guy.

Yeah, and- Oh, did you get a gin martini guy. Yeah, and... Oh, did you get a little vodka in there, too? I'm not tasting too much of the vodka. No. I did a little... I had a little absolute nip. And especially if you're using Tangare, which is a very distinct taste, that absolute is just kind of diluting it.

It's not even bringing a new flavor to the party. Yeah. Yep. But if you use as much lemon as I did, you almost picture a little absolute citrone. Okay. Yes, the Cosmo ingredient itself.

Yes, yes. Tim, your thoughts, please. Submit them to the trio. I'm conflicted because this is a podcast first for me where this drink is very, very, very good, right? But as far as order again, it's like one ingredient off of my favorite cocktail. So it's really hard to think.

When I ordered it at Dantana's, it was because I had never had one and I wanted to have one. When I ordered it with Jeff, it was because we were like, we should have these. We really should have these. Yeah, it was because i had never had one and i wanted to have one when i ordered it with with jeff it was because we were like we should have these we should we we really should have these yeah it was homework and then had we did out of a sense of obligation when i had him at the wedding it was the signature cocktail and i loved it i drank it but if i'm at a bar what would ever make me get a vesesper instead of my beloved teeny? I think it would be for me if I went to a nice steakhouse, kind of like you at Dantana's, I would be like, all right, if I'm at the, if I'm at Keene's or something here in New York,

I would be like, I want to give these guys a whirl. Because I've had the Keene's martini and it's very good, but I want to see what they would do otherwise. I had a family dinner for my 35th birthday. I had a family dinner at Keene's and steaks, martinis, delicious. And it's always fun when you're at a place like that to order some like one like ancient dish that's like very out there. Keene's is where like Teddy Roosevelt used to eat. They got pipes on the walls and

it's an ancient place. My brother just to be historical, he ordered mutton and like mutton is like I could be getting this wrong, but I think it's lamb of a certain age like an

older lamb. Not like the meat's aged, but like the lamb itself is mature yeah that's funny and uh it it was good but it was just very funny to see this giant pile huge chunk of mutton on my brother's plate i was having like a t-bone or something delicious and he was forcing down a mutton why why are martinis paired with steak so often i know you mentioned like it's the strength of the drink but i also think of like red meat red wine so why is like a why is like a clear martini so often paired with a steak i've done it but maybe i'm just like following my programming you know i do it all the time i mean i think it's because i want

i know i'm eating heavy and. You're going to drink heavy too, baby. Well, not heavy, but I want to drink that's cutting through it. Because what's my other favorite cocktail? Mai Tai, maybe? You're not going to drink a sugary Mai Tai with a steak. Right, right, right. There's no room in your stomach when you're taking down a big old cow. Hey, unless you're at Damon's in Glendale.

That's true. I had Damon's delivered last night. Woo! Congratulations, Tim. New York steak with blue cheese sauce and onion straws. Oh, the other night I went out to Gallagher's, which is a steakhouse around here. It's an old steakhouse.

And I had a martini. It was a great martini. But I wore my green suit. People loved it Oh shit The host kept coming up Or like When I came in And went left

He's like You gotta let me borrow that suit What the Now were you What brought you to Gallagher's Were you celebrating something Or were you just going I was

I was hanging with a A friend A New York friend Was it a drink or a dinner It was a dinner A New York friend Wow Okay Love it No questions Well I want to know Because here's Was it a drink or a dinner? It was a dinner. A New York friend. Wow.

Okay. Love it. No questions. Well, I want to know because here's, every time I go to New York, I try to check one of these, the big boys off the list. I love Peter Luger. I love Keens. Last time I was there, I did Smith and Walensky. Fantastic.

Let me take you over to Gallagher's when you're in town. You're a treat and we'll stay as long as you want. Hey, I'll put it on the Sloppy Boys LLC card. Hey, green suits all around that time, huh? Yeah. Kelly Green from head to toe. I think I bought something on the Sloppy Boys LLC recently, accidentally. It could have been my recent trip to Benihana.

So if that comes through, Jeff. Okay, you're going to Gallagher's, you're going to Benihana. I went to Benihana. It was fun. Okay, hey, hey, can I get in on my final thoughts, please? Yes. Come on. You like it, but you don't wantagher's. You're going to Benihana. Mike, you got to... I went to Benihana. It was fun. Okay, hey, hey. Can I get in on my final thoughts, please? Yes. Come on.

You like it, but you don't want to drink it. Wait, no. Time for Jefferson's thoughts. Oh, yeah, yeah. Is it going to be any different from ours? The boxing bell. Guys, look at this toothpick, right? It's metal, and it's... At the top, a martini shaker.

You're going to break your glass if you use that, Tim. What do I care care I'm drunk um look yeah Mikey called it here's here's the thing that bothers me about this I don't like the taste enough like if I get drunk on these it's only gonna take me two and a half if I go out and I don't like the taste and there's enough for that if you're gonna give me a super strong drink that's gotta be a strike against if you don't like the taste if you don't like it taste wise what do you like is it is it the uh compared to a dry martini you want a savory olive instead of that lemon yeah i want i want salty

briny olive yeah um you know it's fine it's a. I'd order it again, but like you said, so close, so close to other things I would rather have. What about C? I still think, this being so boozy, I do like it more than like a 50-50 or some type of martini that's like very vermouthy. Hmm. All right. Maybe C's a little low. A? How about A plus?

All right, maybe C's a little low. A? How about A plus? If you ever wrote a book, Jeff, about you going out to bars and ordering your favorite drinks, you should call it Boozy Gets Choosy. Boozy Gets Choosy. Hey, I just thought of another steakhouse. I'll do it. The Dalray in Pico Rivera.

Mike, you mentioned carts rolling around restaurants. Yeah. You go to the Dalray, get yourself a martini, and then you get your bananas foster. They roll out a flambe cart, and they light up a big fire right in front of you. Dessert before meal. Tim, I prefer my carts rolling around Rainbow Road. Thank you very much. Mario Kart.

Thank you. Thank you, Jefferson. I could have also gone with, I prefer my carts rolling around Moo Moo Farm. Yeah, I could have around Moo Moo Farm. Could have done Moo Moo Farm. What's the name of the haunted mansion part one where you're on the rickety

Oh shit. What? Oh shit. Oh fuck. It's fucking... Asbury Park, New Jersey? No, it's the haunted Booze Castle. I'm going to edit all this out. I don't know. Okay, that's fine. But guys, that's not what I'm going to edit all this out. I don't know.

Okay, that's fine. But guys, that's not what I want to talk to you about today. Can we please get back on the topic? Somebody take that away from him. He's getting annoyed. I got to text Jessica to just get that thing away from him. Hey, look. Guys, you don't want to pair this martini with an 8% White Claw surge.

Yeah, you're dealing you got a you're jacked up on venti you're kind of like i had a giant starbucks and then the only dinner i had was a gulp of cold hot and sour soup that was lunch um you know uh yeah well it was lunch and dinner can i ask you guys a question? Nothing too personal, but yeah. Well, this is surface level. Are you two feeling, would you say that you're feeling sharp right now? I'm feeling a little slurry, barfy, sweaty. Michael?

Speaking of sharp, these chips. I'm pretty sharp. I'm pretty with it. The reason I ask is because you just stumbled into a... No! No! Ow! I'm not that sharp.

Why? Yes. That's right. It's the fictional drinkables quiz. Oh, shit. That's fun. Fictional drinkables. So...

That sounds clickable, shareable. Yeah, it does. It it does it's good it's very uh you know it's a shareable quibby sort of size thing this is some quibby shit so these are drinks that appear in fiction or you know some form of media it's not it's not necessarily like the drinks are fictional they don't exist like they you know butterbeer damn it tim timothy i was gonna say butterbeer you should hold your tongue change the question now jeff because that is unfair you know i got i got questions on questions man i'm ready for this shit i know what i'm talking to is this a java land of questions nah nah damn it's a drip okay so sometimes i'm gonna ask for the media and then sometimes i'm

gonna ask for the drink because sometimes the questions are better yeah but i'll tell you ahead of time like in this case i'm looking for the media number one you might know it i'm going to give you the hard hint and then the the i'm going to make it a little easier here you go name the media three orange whips blues brothers fuck michael i knew that john candy orders it fuck he does mike i gotta hand but he didn't ask who ordered it did did he, Tim? He asked for the media. He asked for the title. Yes.

Mike, you won fair and square. Thank you. Kicking off a fundraising montage in this musical comedy, John Candy exclaims, three orange whips. That's Blues Brothers. Do you guys know what an orange whip is? I didn't know this. I think it sounds like a golden dream, right? It's very similar.

It's rum, vodka, cream, and orange juice. Oh, that sounds fun let's let's do that i would do that let's do an orange that is an orange julius number two also i love i love john candy's whole vibe in that movie continue jefferson uh that may be but number two while you might not want one every single, you might find yourself in a situation where you meet a girl who does. Sweet vermouth on the rocks with a twist. Oh, Groundhog Day. Groundhog's Day. Timothy. Well, we may have said that right at the same exact time.

But I said it earlier in the question. Yeah, you did say it earlier. So that's. So he got it, Mike. So you get it. You get it. Now, if I recall, and this this is podcast canon that we talked about this drink once and then mike wanted to do a review of it but he called a condom company

oh oh shit yeah i remember that you got i reviewed the drink you reviewed the drink you know i called a condom company uh don't worry about it. First of all, what are you talking about? You're crazy. Next question, Jefferson. Next question, number three. I need the media. A nice Chianti. Silence of the Lambs.

Correct. And Dumb and Dumber. Sorry, Jeff. Oh, shit. Just busted your quiz wide open. Oh, shit. Is it in Dumb and Dumber? Well, he's quoting Silence of the Lambs, no?

He's quoting Silence of the Lambs. That's medium, my man. If I, you know, the full line is Hannibal Lecter saying, I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. But, Mike, would you like a side point? Yeah. That's fair. I can't argue with that. You you know here's what i've learned

about chianti i'm not a wine guy but when you see those bottles they're like wicker on the bottom the wicker man yeah that's a chianti bottle damn the wicker bottle number four i'm looking for the name of the drink oh like many of the drinks we cover on the pod, the origin of this cocktail is as disputed as hotly as it is served. The secret ingredient? Nothing but plain, ordinary, over-the-counter children's cough syrup. Flamin' Mo. The Flaming Mo.

That's right. Michael from The Simpsonspsons now wait just a second uh-huh it's my understanding that bill oakley came out with a simpsons cookbook this year and there's a flaming mo recipe do you mean to tell me it's cough syrup no way he probably can't do that it's can't but everybody knows they've got to put a little Robitussin in there. But in the episode, it's just Robitussin? No, it's like a bunch of different alcohols and children's cough syrup and set on fire. Ah, yes. And the dispute is between Homer and Moe.

Homer and his bartender Moe. Homer Simpson, Moe's his lack. Number five. I'm looking for the media. Okay. Number five. I'm looking for the media. Okay.

One of the few unmakeable drinks on this quiz, Moloko Plus, comes laced with potent drugs such as Velocet, Synthamesc, and Drencrum. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? No, good guess though. Huh.

And it might get you ready for a bit of the ultraviolence a clockwork orange correct timothy i'll give it to you number six hey wait a second when we went to ithaca college there was a bar in the commons that was named after the milk bar molokos no i don't remember it but kelly's dockside yeah moon shadows moon shadows uh i'll think of it you continue great number six mirivore is elf liquor with magical healing properties in this fantasy series lord of rings oh that. Ooh, that's a split. You both got it. What the hell? Now, Split is actually a movie.

Do I get a side point for that? Ooh, Tim, do you want a side point for that? I would like... I actually want a jumbo-sized side point that's worth like one and a half side points. No, sorry, no side points for that one. Number seven. Damn.

This butterscotch-flavored, lightly... Butterbeer, butterbe one. Number seven. Damn. This butterscotch flavored, lightly... Butterbeer, butterbeer. Harry Potter. I was looking for butterbeer. Hogsmeade. And it was, you know, Mike, you got it. Ron Weasley. I said that 15 fucking minutes ago.

I don't think the game had started then. That's like... Yeah, you blew your wad, dude. Yuck. Number eight. Peter Griffin and his pals are often drinking this. Huh? Family guy.

Sorry, I'm looking for the drink. Pawtucket Pat. Quahog Cooler. Pawtucket Phil? Mike, you got it. Yay. Peter Griffin and his pals are often drinking this parody of New England staple Sam Adams. Pawtucket Pat or Pawtucket Patriot.

Damn. At the clam restaurant. What's it called? It's the... Drunken Clam. Drunken Clam. Now, Mitch is from Boston. He says that if you're a real Boston person, you don't drink Sam Adams.

You drink Bud Light. Okay. Number nine. okay number nine this homebrew comes from the garage of drug enforcement and administration agent hank schrader schrader brow schrader brow timothy that's a good one all right let me let me count up the points here i hope i have literal thousands. We do have two side, a side point each. So that might be,

no, mine was denied. Oh shit. Mike, you have a side point. Should you choose to use it? That's important to note. Side point using side point is kind of like the, uh,

like the ice option in, in the Russian route. It's kind of like you, most people would use it, but you do not have it. Laura Vinegar would use it, yeah, sure. Sure. Counting the points is harder than I thought. Let me just make sure I'm right here. I'm a little bit Dr. Unk.

Yeah, geez. Well, that's the thing about the drink with the two liquors. Yeah. Liquor makes you sicker. Well, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay, Mike.

Yeah. Do you want to use your side point? Yes, yes. Yes, I do. It's important to me that I use that. Are you sure, Mike? Because I only ask because it's five points to five points, but you have a side point.

So if you do want to use it, you... Think about it, Mike. Think this over. No, I get it. And I do want to use it. Final answer? Okay. Final answer, phone a friend want to use it. Final answer? Okay. Final answer, phone a friend.

Okay, so what is that? If we each have five, and then he adds one. So we each have six now. Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention side points apply to both players. In this game, in this one, it applies to both players, Mike. Are you sure you want to use it? Then no. Okay, then we're going into overtime.

One final question. Oh, shit. Wild. No, no. Michael's using his side point. It's tied. I'm looking for the name of the drink all right while non-alcoholic there's certainly something up with this soda it makes you fly excuse me gazoon type what was the question while non-alcoholic there's certainly something up with this soda.

It makes you fly. The fucking soda from the fucking Willy Wonka. You gotta name it, baby. Ah, shit. Super lifty drink. Fizzy lifting drink. Correct, Mike. You win.

Fuck. Thank you. I knew it would bite me in the ass that I've never seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ever in my life. For real? Ooh.
