Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton along with Mike Hanford. Hello! And Tim Kalpakis. What is up, winter weather stylies? Ooh, nice. Yeah, geez, brush the snow off your shoulders and get in here. Yeah, brush the teeth too.

Now, Jeff, every time you introduce us, you always say Mike Hanford, and then you pause for a little bit. Is there a delay, or are you thinking I'm going to say more? Sometimes I do. It's dramatic. I like to sort of pump up the drama, you know? Great. I assumed that you were talking through that, but it got bleeped because of expletives.

Yeah. Well, I want them to be like, what's he going to say next? It's always, and Tim Galvakis, but I want them to wonder, maybe this time it might be different. Right, right, right. Yeah, maybe Tim got the ax. Ax body spray. Hey, pit pit chest.

Does anyone, I wonder if anyone knows what we're talking about there. Oh, that six month campaign. A Funny or Die web series? From 10 years ago. That campaign, that Funny or Die campaign. Pit pit chest. So you spray it in each armpit and then a stripe across your chest. Did you guys ever use Axe?

No. Yeah, they gave everyone a bottle. They gave everyone a can when you got into Ithaca. Oh, yeah. That's funny. And everybody had the green Axe body spray, and every dorm smelled like it. It was nasty.

I can smell it now talking about it. Putrid. Such a unique stench. And if any of you listeners are out there wearing it, ask for something else for this holiday season. And if any of you listeners are out there Wearing it Ask for some Something else for this holiday season Ask for anything else on earth? Yeah

Ask for a different deodorant I mean A different body spray I don't use a body spray You guys using body sprays? Who's using sprays? No I use a I use an Old Spice stick Oh Tim my man

Same deal Same thing Original Old Spice All three Old Spice? I use an old spice stick. Oh, Tim, my man. Same deal. Same thing. Original. Old spice. All three old spice? Seriously? Wait, but are you doing a weird flavor? Are you doing like new surf?

Well, currently, actually, I'm holding it right now. Yeah, look at that. Currently, I just bought a stick of old spice Fiji with palm tree. It's kind of a white chalky one, but I I'll do the classic because it's musky and then I'll mix it up every once in a while. Yeah, I do. I do. It's in the big red thing,

but I don't think it's like original. I think it's like got a fresh scent. Yeah, winter green. Yeah, fresh scent. Yeah. I know. Yeah, fresh one is that one's good and it smells kind of like laundry or it smells like modern deodorant. But Jeff, you do that old old style stuff, right? Yeah, fresh one. That one's good, and it smells kind of like laundry, or it smells like modern deodorant. But, Jeff, you do that old-style stuff, right? Yeah, it smells like 80-proof vodka.

When you crack a fresh original Old Spice, it smells like prescription deodorant. It smells like a grandpa a little bit, too. Yeah. Do you guys use antiperspirant or just deodorant? Yeah. No, I let myself perspire yeah i'll tell you what i i used to do the antiperspirant because if because if i was you know like going to at work or something and i'd use antiperspirant but these days i'm working from home and zooming so much i'm like i don't care if i perspire it's fine so yeah i'll do i'll do the deodorant because i don't want to reek uh but sweat away i say i think that anti-perspirant

is not good for you too there's aluminum in it also the sweat has to come out so somehow you're you know you're you'll seal up the pores in your under arms so then your forehead gets an extra bead of sweat uh yes yes very good very good i had a friend in college who uh thought that he was uh keeping himself dry and uh fresh using crystals he would rub crystals under his armpits yeah and that worked yeah That did not work for this particular gentleman. He stunk and the crystals stunk. Yeah. Well, yeah, the crystals are going to stink in time. Yeah.

I thought the crystals were supposed to like suck up. Well, that's what they do. They suck up all the stink. Here's a deodorant story somebody told me. And Jeff, can you bleep all of the proper nouns when I tell the story? Of course. That includes states and all of the proper nouns when i tell the story of course um that includes states and uh days of the week well i was in wisconsin um yeah was on an episode of yeah and uh the makeup lady said hey hey, by the way, here, somebody told me to give you these

and gave him two sticks of deodorant. So like the crew and the cast had maybe been talking about him a little bit and they tasked the makeup lady with giving the deodorant to him. That's not fun on either end. He was fine with it. He was like, that's nice.

They were helping me out, but it was funny to picture those conversations. Yeah. But that's life. Well, the Slopheads all wear deodorant. They all smell great, I bet. Sloppy though their name may be, clean underarm have thee.

That's a mnemonic device to remember if our listeners were catchy yeah once you get used to it it's not as stilted i'm still learning that i'm not going to be able to get that out of my head all night um what do you say we uh bib it to the bop it to the booze news yes yes very good oh nice Ooh. Oh. Oh, nice. Talk of the 10. Talk of the 10.

Hey, what's up? Talk of the 10. Talk of the 10. Talk of the 10. Hey, what's up? Oh, that's the song. Talk of the 10. Talk of the 10. Talk of the 10.

Hey, what's up? Talk of the 10. We jazz like that. Who is this? Freak like that. We jazz like that. Who is this? Freak like that. We zoom like that. Dilated peoples? Yeah.

Or like a tribe or something? You leading? It's Booze News, you fantastic fans. Talk of Cool by Eric Kang, the Kang-er. Kang-er. And if you have a Booze News theme, email it to thesloppyboyspodcast at gmail.com. Hey, do you remember that last little sound?

That glimmery thing that was like do you remember there was an old cartoon I want to say it was like maybe a Hanna-Barbera or something like that. And it had a star, a white star that would like swirl around and leave like a rainbow trail and it was, this is a production card. Like star that would like swirl around and leave like a rainbow trail.

And this is a production card. Like at the end of a cartoon, it went like... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They reminded me of that. Well, I wonder if it's the same thing. Hey, is Hanna-Barbera a lady or is it two people? Two people. Do you think that Hanna and Barbera ever went on a double date with Rankin and Bass? Oh, I would only hope so.

Well, hey, I'll find that production tag and I'll put it at the end of this episode. Oh, fun. I want the end of this Booze News to wrap it up. Okay, great. Oh, that's nice. Ready? Here we go. Oh, wait, no.

We've got to do the Booze News. Booze News, do you want to wrap it up? Let's not jump. Tim, please wrap this up. Well, I just had a fun little quick little bit of Booze News. Fucking The Beatles, get back on Disney Plus, you see. Oh, yeah. No, I'm starting it right after this, the record.

I've been, I mean, hey, this was the talk of, you know, last week, the fucking Thanksgiving. This was the talk of, you know, last week, the fucking Thanksgiving. What a gift to have a thing come out and have everyone during their turkey weekend got to talk about this. And I still have not finished it. I've been watching. But one question lingers in my head, which is what are these guys drinking? Oh, sure.

Yeah. Because there's this thing... Wait, Mike, have you watched it? None. Don't even have Disney Plus. You don't even have. Nope. How many episodes is it? Three, but they're long. Three episodes, but they're each... Yeah, they're like two

hours and 30 minutes long. Why do we have to do everything so long? Mike, you like the Beatles. I don't. I don't think we have to do everything so long like you like the beatles i don't i don't have to do everything so long um well mike you can't have too much of a good thing because this series is fantastic and you're gonna love it but while they're they're jamming right and you're kind of fly on the wall cinema verite watching them great right and write their songs and stuff like that it's very cool and then in the background there are these wine glasses with yellow liquid in them and i saw some people posting this online and hold on have we ever talked about whether or not the three of us are piss freaks

i think we're holding that for a special episode unconfirmed yes. Yes, yes. Unconfirmed. That befuddled me, and if anyone knows, I'm very interested in what this yellow drink was, because it's very prominently placed on the set. These wine glasses with, is it limoncello? Is it mead? It's something, and probably

funny. Maybe it's just sparkling water with little drops of the old lysergic acid. Ooh. Wait. L-S-D? That's right. What's the D?

Drug. That's a good question. The last D in acid. Distillate. Yeah. I didn't know you have the option of using any letter from the word. That's the caboose. What is the S for even even because lysergic ass would

be la i don't know oh fuck anyway i didn't know about what the yellow stuff was but there is one in episode one there is a drink order that is placed and so you get to hear what each of the beetles like uh you know like someone's like you guys want to drink and paul yeah it's like yeah i'll have a drink and then you get to hear paul john and george uh order not brand names but um paul well here you guys guess what do you think paul john and george ordered margarita the paul margarita right oh good guess yeah they all got the same thing no No. No, different stuff. Oh, Paul and John got the same thing. Okay, so Paul said pale ale. Huh. John said beer right after Paul sang pale ale.

So he said, hey, just beer. And then George, white wine. Nothing for Ringo. Nothing for Ringo. Although we know that Ringo is a boozehound. He was in the Hollywood Vampires. That's right. The drinking club on the Sunset Strip where I often go.

Also, Ringo, the newest addition to the Masterclass series. Oh, yeah. Maybe they were yellow birds that were drinking down. Oh, my God. You think so? The Beatles atop the yellow bird tree. Well, they were in a yellow submarine at a certain point. I'd like to be up in a tree with a yellow, yellow birdie.

It's true. It's true for me. Um, anyway, um, I scoured the internet to see if anybody knew what the yellow drink was. I think it's limoncello, but I didn't find that. But while I was scouring, I did find a great Reddit thread where someone was trying to find out the white wine that George was drinking. Someone wanted to know what brand it was. This was a Reddit thread. Or someone started a thread on the Beatles sub subreddit r slash beatles and then

there's one one there's one comment on it so i wanted to read you that the guy starts the thread and he says so can any of you internet detectives identify the exact white wine imbibed by in uh get back three episode three i guess and he says uh uh dine 1966 something. But he's asking if someone can identify the wine. And then there's one comment. Why? And just why? Question mark. And then here's what really made me laugh.

It has one down vote on that comment. So I like to think it's original poster saying, hey, fuck off. Why? I don't care about the white wine, but slop heads, if you know what the yellow stuff is, let us know, tag us in pictures, and we'll post it online.

Would Gatorade have been invented then? Oh. Yeah, could it be lemon lime Gatorade? Probably yellow, the original lemon lime gatorade probably but what the beatles have been drinking that in london england do any of the songs on let it be revolve around electrolytes yeah yeah and lack thereof i maybe i brought this up before but i think it's so strange that we say electrolytes plural like you're drinking and you're like yeah you're getting electrolytes.

Like, there's three big, chunky electrolytes in each Gatorade. It's just like, oh, I like this. It's got a lot of salts and peppers in it. Yeah. You say spices. Yeah, but it's not different types of electrolytes. It's electrolyte. So I'm getting electrolyte?

That doesn't sound right to me. I guess I'm just old-fashioned. Yeah, you are old-fashioned. Yeah, you are. Hey, can we just announce that we're going to cover Get Back on the Next Blowout? Or is that too premature? Let's announce it. Probably too

premature because I don't even have Disney+. Yeah, but you can figure that out. It's $4.99 a month, you fool. I gotta watch three movies. How much is it a month? Mike, this is so good, this series. This is like an amazing thing. Okay. Did Peter Jackson have anything to do with it?

Hey, I didn't really think about that. Peter Jackson makes three long Lord of the Rings movies, and now he's working with the Beatles, and he says, how about we make three long Beatle movies Ring movies, and now he's working with the Beatles, and he says, how about we make three long Beatle movies? See, the long part of it, Tim, he keeps stressing the long.

We could just talk about, like, you know, when we covered McCartney 321, we were all at different stages, and we managed to talk about it just fine. Sure, sure. How about this? We watch episode one, and if you want to keep going, that's on you,

but episode one is what we should do a Patreon episode about okay yeah i just started my trial it was easy to mike no i know it's easy and fun it's just you know i i i uh i wasn't i guess i should watch it i'm seeing a lot of people tweet about it i'll watch it um i'll watch it there's good stuff on wait hold on. Not a Mandalorian fan. I watched one episode and did not like it. No, no, no. The Billie Eilish documentary was maybe on Apple, right? Yes, you're right.

But I think she also did a live show. She did a live show and then maybe Adele did as well, right? Yeah. So it sounds like I'm getting Adele, dude. Dude, you're getting Adele, yeah. Wrap it up! Yee-hoo!

Note to the editor, put that sound in. Well, well, well, here we are again talking about another wintery drink. You guys are familiar with Zuby Condorino's only, really, review on this show, right? Oh, intimately. Yeah, Zuby Condorino was a one-time guest

who was a movie critic, and he did one movie review for us and he was poorly received by fans poorly received really i remember being poorly received in the studio here yeah well i'm a fan of the show i thought maybe the fans liked it well i'd have to pull them i guess maybe we should do that during the during this show is is throw a poll out there did you like zooby condorino or not yeah okay i'm gonna tweet it did you like zooby condorino's appearance on the podcast yes no on the main that's good that's good and then why was he on the main well he it was part of booze news and then he he thought it would be a good idea to

call it booze news Movie Reviews. Yeah. Yeah. I told him. I said, you know, I'll send it to the guys. We'll put it on the show if we have time. We did. Now spell Zuby. Z-O-O-B-I-E.

Now spell Condorino. C-O-N-D-E-R-I-N-O. D-E-R? Condorino, yeah. Condorino, yeah. Condorino, okay. Did you like Zuby Condorino on our podcast? Yeah, has he always spelled it like that? Like if we look around, will it always be that? I think other people have spelled it the way they think it's spelled online.

Canonically, this is correct. Yeah, yeah. Yes, this is correct. okay. Yeah, yeah. Yes, this is correct. I do have his personal information. Well, when I asked him to do the show, he would only want to write letters. He doesn't do email, so. Tweeted. He would sign it. Okay, so, well, you

probably remember Zuby reviewed the movie Tom and Jerry. Well, guess what? That is the name of the drink of the day. Oh! Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. So we have a drink here.

This is kind of very eggnog-ish. You had? Not had. I've had once, and it was with a jar of Trader Vic's mix. So I've never had it at a bar, and I've never made it from scratch. Yeah, it's one of those ones, kind of like the thing we did last week,

the butter rum thing. Hot butter rum. You've got to make a little, or one way of doing it is making a little batter that you put in it, which we'll get to in a second. And now when you say batter, you don't mean like, hey, batter up? Hey, batter up. Like, hey, cake batter is up?

No, or like, hey, batter, batter, swing batter. Yeah, like drink dough. Like dough for a drink. Drink dough? I mean drink dough. I don't mean baseball batter. How about that drink dough, huh? The Tom and Jerry. How about that drink dough. I don't mean baseball batter. Oh, how about that drink dough, huh? The Tom and Jerry.

How about that drink dough? Drink dough. This is one of those. COVID. COVID. Pardon me. COVID for sure. This is one of those drinks where it has a history.

Actually, it's got two histories that are cool. Or interesting. One, I think most people are leaning on that it's wrong. So I'll tell you that one first. In 1863, Jerry Thomas, we all know Jerry Thomas, he said, he was said to have invented this.

Oh! Yeah. Damn! No shit. But this is the false. This is the mystery. But this is the one that is, I think, wrong because, well, he so he he had two pet mice at the time, Tom and Jerry. And his name is also, you know, Jerry Thomas. It's like, oh, that's interesting. It could be him. And he gave this interview about how he like came up with it. Some guy wanted to, you know, he came into his bars like I need, that's interesting. It could be him. And he gave this interview about how he came up with it. Some guy wanted to, you know, he came into his bar.

He was like, I need something kind of warm and with brandy in it or whatever. And he whipped this up, and that's when he said he invented it. However, when he said he invented it three years earlier in 18, what did I say? Did I say 1863 before? 1863, yeah. Which is funny because I like picturing that during the height of the Civil War, Jerry Thomas is messing around with little milky cocktails. Yeah, yeah.

But then apparently in 1827, there's an account of Tom and Jerry in a salem newspaper this kid got drunk and stole a bunch of wallets and watches i think and uh he uh went to trial and got off because he was like you know given this uh drink by an adult that he was a minor so he shouldn't have had it and it was called a tom and j. Ah. Now. I believe that one because... You're still going, right? There's one more.

Okay. One more. Did I say two before? There are three. Oh! No, that one's not really history. That's just showing that it did exist before Jerry Thomas said it was, you know, he invented it.

Yeah. Right. But the more likely origin story, 1821, there was a book called Life in London, or The Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorne Esquire and his elegant friend,

Corinthian Tom. Nice. A nice, memorable title. Easy rolls off the tongue. And it's about, I'm reading it here, the Georgian debauchery spawned so

Georgian debauchery, I guess it takes place in Georgia? That doesn't make sense. It's London. Anyway, oh, is Georgian like an adjective for debauchery? King George era maybe, like Victorian Elizabethan Georgian. Well, it spawned a hit play

entitled Life in London or The Day and Night Scenes of Tom and Jerry in their rambles and sprees through the metropolis. Rambles and sprees. Rambles and sprees through the metropolis. We should bring back those silly names. We should have all of our episode

titles to be like a long, rambly Rambly, but also spree-like. Rambles and sprees. So this came to America in 1823, and it said that he made up the Tom and Jerry drink and served it as a marketing gimmick.

Of course. What do we think of that? It always comes down to marketing. Fucking disgusting. Corporate shit. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Anyway, it kind of went out of fashion in the 1800s or the 1900s, but kind of came back in the 20s and 30s. In the 40s, people started having Tom and Jerry parties, like around Christmas time.

And you'd buy these, like, into the 50s, you'd buy these, like, Tom and Jerry punch bowls that said Tom and Jerry on them. It had, like, Christmas stuff on it. And Tom and Jerry cups that came with it. Oh, and also, in this lady's home magazine or something, it was to be served with very plain cookies are acceptable, as was ham paste. Ooh, ham paste?

Ham paste. I wish I had some ham paste. You can serve it with it. But obviously this drink is not very popular. It's still popular up in the Midwest in Wisconsin. I think this is sort of a standard for certain people around the holidays. I'll tell you why it's probably not that popular. Why? I mean,

it's kind of a pain in the ass. It seems like it's going to be a little bit of a pain in the ass. Let me give you the ingredients here. Because this is not on the IBA list. We wanted to do a holiday, a cozy holiday cocktail and we're going to go from Liquor.com, which is

a nice standard. there's also kind of a fancy one the david wondrich oh no this is david wondrich this is the wondrich one so that's good uh but we couldn't find just a make it in your cup single serving one uh so we're making big batches here folks uh so here we go this is is boiling water. The ingredients are boiling water to rinse, it says. Maybe we'll find out what that means in a second. One ounce dark rum, one ounce cognac, one tablespoon Tom and Jerry batter, not the baseball batter.

Thank you for clarifying. Whole milk, hot to the top. Garnish, nutmeg, freshly grated. Garnish, ground cloves. Garnish, ground all, freshly grated. Garnish, ground cloves. Garnish, ground allspice. So here's what you do. You rinse a coffee mug or a Tom and Jerry cup. That's what I was talking about before.

With boiling water to warm it up. Then discard the water. Add the rum, cognac, and batter into the cup and top it off with hot milk. Garnish with a mixture of two parts freshly grated nutmeg to one part each ground clove and ground allspice. Now, here is how you make the Tom and Jerry batter. This is something you can buy yourself, but you do it

thusly. Separate three egg yolks and whites and set aside. Okay. In a non-reactive bowl. I don't know what that means. Glass. Ah. It's like a bowl that doesn't react to nothing. It's like one of those

beefeater guards. It's like you can do whatever you want to it. Whip the egg whites with one-fourth teaspoon cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the yolks with one cup of sugar, half ounce Jamaican dark rum, and one-fourth teaspoon vanilla extract.

When the yolk mixture is completely combined, gently fold it into the egg white mixture. Keep refrigerated. That seems like a lot to do. Michael, it was. Jeff, you made a batch of this batter. How was the experience? Well, I thought it was going to be a quick, easy thing. I looked at this recipe and I said, I have most of this batter how was the experience oh well i thought it was going to be a quick easy thing i

said i looked at this recipe and i said i have most of this stuff if i go get some cream of tartar which is a powder not a cream i bet i can whip this up really quick and i can give my boy tim some of this batter so i go out there and i start i get them i get my stuff and i start beating these uh egg whites with a fork with the tartar. It starts to break up a little slowly, but I'm starting to make some bubbles. And I'm mixing and mixing. And then I'm like really furiously whipping this thing for minutes at a time. 10 minutes, 12 minutes, 15 minutes.

My arm is like very sore. And then I said, you know what would really help this out? I grabbed my drill. Oh. I was like, what do I have in the kitchen? Because I don't have a mixer or an egg beater or any whisk or anything like that. So I grabbed a wine opener that looked like a paint can opener from a wedding. This was a wedding favor. paint can opener from a wedding it was a this is a wedding favor paint can open that i was able to that i was i was able to put into the drill i go like i thought i had cleaned

everything off really well and then i'm then i'm mixing it up i'm mixing up the egg whites and i get sawdust in the egg whites oh you do not want that you know i checked the recipe again just to make sure it didn't call for any sawdust yeah none and no not even one speck wow and uh no sawdust so i i scooped out scooped out just the top of of this where the sawdust had hit and i said you know what i I can't in good conscience give this to my boy with sawdust in it. So I borrowed a hand mixer. Did it in no time flat. Oh, okay. New eggs all around.

The proper tool. Zoop, zoop, zoop. Still takes about three minutes to froth up that egg white. Uh-huh. And then when they say firm peaks, they literally mean like if you pull the beaters out of the yeah out of the cream does it create like a little peak and does it stay there yeah yeah as opposed to when i when i was doing it with a fork i was barely getting a mound barely a mound barely a mound sounds like my halloween haul yeah geez barely a mound uh sounds like some uh fish concerts i've been to

oh geez hey jeff uh one quick question when you say drill um you don't mean the twitter guy do you went yep who's the twitter guy he's a twitter guy went his drill went his drill bob but his drill went i appreciate uh jeff that you didn't want to give me the sawdusty batter but i gotta say if you know your boy tim he doesn't mind drinking some wood that's true i would have been fine with that yeah the wood makes it might have also had a little bit of sheet rock i don't know i didn't know how you felt about sheet rock that's as best you don't want to drink all right right. So you combine the two together and they are different. They are very different. And I think I might have mixed them together too much.

You know, like when you stir foam, it flattens it. Yeah. You're supposed to be... They weren't kidding when they say like gently get the really foamy egg whites in with the more sugary thick darks. Okay. So I put it in the fridge like I was supposed to, and then when I ran it out to Tim, I noticed it's starting to separate a little bit,

getting a little bit of that runoff down bottom. So I gave it another quick whip, and then when I dropped it at Tim's, he was on a conference call, so I left it outside. And, you know, 20 minutes later, he grabbed it. It's just raw egg. He should be fine yeah maybe i'll maybe i'll give that little thing a shake but it sat outside was today hot i did i haven't stepped outside today yeah it was hot but it was in the shade

okay good this is interesting because you know our listeners always surprise me but i'm gonna gander a guess that a lot of people aren't gonna make this stuff so so we're gonna be we're gonna be having this batter and we're gonna report back and then people can make their own decision afterwards hey maybe i will make the batter if these dudes like to drink but i would say if you're drinking along you know look online or i went to beverages beverages and more aka buvmo one time and i i saw like a little uh bit of this batter in a jar and bought it so you can find that if you're not if you're on the fence about doing all the whipping and the buying of tartar i've never heard of cream of tartar it makes sense tartar sauce yeah but what is tartar what is that i mean

i know that i have tartar all over my teeth when I don't use crests to control. I'm giving you a dentist gift card for Christmas. It's like sticky. It's like marshmallow glue. So it's sugary? Making my mouth water. Or sweet? I guess the word might be it's an emulsifier.

I might be using that word. You probably use it for an emulsifier. I might be using that. Oh. Oh. You probably use it for fondant. Yeah. Yeah. You'd have to ask a cake maker. I feel like the fucking British Bake Off over here, huh? Oh, my God.

I've been looking at stuff online. You know, is it cake? It blew my mind, some of this stuff. Check it out. Emulsifier in foods. Any of numerous chemical additives that encourage the suspension of one liquid in another. So I think that might be right. Oh.

I know emulsifiers, like my dad will be like, hey, you know, if you need an emulsifier, you can actually use a little bit of like Dijon mustard for that. I don't know what he meant, but he told me that one time. I don't think I needed an emulsifier that day. Looking at this batter recipe, it's funny that it has rum in it because then we're also going to put rum in the thing, so double rum. Yeah. Double rum. I got to say, for the hot buttered rum that we had last time,

I made that batter. Drinking the regular one and then drinking the one with the batter, I went to bed with a serious stomach ache. Yeah. It was just not good. It really like, thinking back on it, it makes me sick

thinking about that drink. I won't drink it again. Well, that's kind of what I'm dreading about this one is I liked that drink, but fucking this one with the hot milk,

they say top with, but I don't know how big of a mug they're picturing. How much hot milk are you going to pour in your thing? Right. Well, I think it's actually...

Is that what it says? Top width? Because I think it's... Top width, yeah. Oh, yeah. So it's a lot. You're like filling the rest of the glass with hot milk. I don't want to drink... I'm going to put maybe like six ounces. The picture of this thing, though, the frothy top looks like

a milkshake amazing it looks great yeah it looks fantastic i hope it's good i bet it's gonna be good because i mean every the batter is just like sugar and eggs it's gonna and vanilla but okay this requires us to heat water and milk it's gonna take us a second especially because milk you're supposed to eat really slowly and keep stirring if i'm correct but yeah or else it burns or something i think it can it break like a like a sauce then it gets all curdley and crumbly my thing is why am i boiling water just to then warm the mug can i just nuke yeah that seems unnecessary that seems old like old school thing i'm gonna nuke a mug nuke a mug i don't have a uh microwave so I'm going to have to do it longhand.

She nuked me, Jerry! She nuked my mug! Well, want to get started? I think that's a good idea. Yep. Folks, we'll see you after these messages. So long! and we're back talking hot buttered rum not this time oh shit i'm sorry and we're back talking uh tom and jerry yeah no oh yeah let's see i'm jerry check this one out i got a different

oh beautiful oh cool that's a mcdonald's garfield mug everyone yeah garfieldio you got a nice froth on top huh is the top of your thing frothy yeah i sort of transferred from one mug to another one because it was barely filling the first mug I had. That's a mug you want to chug. Yeah, kind of. I did the clear mug. I went, yeah, maybe six ounces of milk. How did you heat your milk up?

Because mine got chunky. Really? I did mine slow and low, and I stirred the hell out of it. And then I really relied on the pre-warming of the mug because I don't think I got it that warm. The milk. The milk, that is. I nuked my mug and that worked, but it also made the handle hot.

And then I put my milk in one of those quick teapots that plugs into the wall. And there was some cottage cheese-esque sludge in the bottom of it. Oh, that's fine. A little sludge. Hot cottage cheese. I only had non-fat milk,

so my thing won't be... Maybe that was a problem. It calls for whole, right? Yeah, mine's full strength. It calls for whole. H-O-L-E. Whole milk? Whole milk. Oh, nasty.

Okay,oms up. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. Oh, we got a questionable mm-hmm from Jeff and oh, yeah, from Tim. Yeah, me, I'll tell you this,

compared to the Jerry Thomas hot buttered rum. This got a lot more going on. There we go. I like the cognac and the rum coming together. I stole a little spoon of that batter, Jeff, on the way in. That was delicious. Yeah, not bad, right?

And then up top, my garnishes are divine. I had nutmeg. I had allspice. And then I had whole cloves and no grinder. So I just put some of my cloves into a Vitamix and frapped the shit out of them until they turned to powder. Well, I'm sure the listener is saying, why is Mike really not weighing in here on how he made his or the taste?

Well, folks, I didn't make the drink, okay? And it's not because I couldn't figure it out or couldn't get the right ingredients. I am sick. You can probably tell I'm a little congested. I've been coughing a lot. I may have COVID, to be quite honest with you. He's frogged up. Mike, you're turning this into like you're kind of yelling at the listeners right now.

Well, yeah. I feel like they're not even giving me a chance to speak well no i would never you have to do what's good for your health me and jeff would never pressure a sick man into drinking nope and that's i've done that before as a as a younger fellow and it has always turned into a worse cold i'm'm hoping this is just a cold, by the way. What about the grannies that give whiskey to kids when they're sick? I think that's like a mouthful, not like a full-on drank. I feel like my mouth can hold kind of a lot of whiskey. But I did make myself a Celestial Seasonings Herbal Tea.

Tension Tamer. Ooh, that's good. Yeah, I think it's kind of minty tasting. I like a mint tea. Good for you. Whoop-dee-dah. I can't wait for your final thoughts on your mint tea. I've already had this tea before, so I can give it to you right now.

It's great. It's great! It was great! I like cognac. I'm not going to pretend I don't like cognac. I like cognac. Cognac is a brandy? Or is it its own thing? Yeah, I had a bottle of Covasier. Ladies' Man. Leon Feltz style-ies.

Yeah, same. I did Covasier and Myers. Damn. Myers Rum. Rump Covasier and Myers. Damn. Myers Rum. Rumpelstiltskin? Alright. Remember we watched a French video on how to say Covasier and he said, what is up? We're talking Covasier.

Yeah. Covasier. What is up? Now, so how do those taste to you guys? Are they eggnog? I gotta say it's kind of similar to the other drinks but it's just more cognac-y and rich and dairy-ish and cream you know it's not you know when you got if you got the vanilla extract into all in all this dairy you got a nog thing going on nog champa i might have over garnished to be honest i got me too i got like a whole dirt

patch up top it's spicy my clothes are like burning my mouth yeah yeah yeah um what are your feelings on creamy drinks in general i've i didn't add too much milk to this so i'm liking that it's not like a it's not like a bowl of chowder this This is strong in a good way. That does sound good, though. Drink a cup of chowder. You're a chowder head. Come on. I do like creamy drinks. I like anything close to a milkshake. I like those. Oh, like a brandy

Alexander. Shamrock shake. Yes. Now, does your milkshake bring any boys to the yard or any of that? Mine? Not as much as my friend Khaleesa's. Do you ever drink someone else's milkshake bring any boys to the yard or any of that? Mine? Not as much as my friend Khaleesa's. Do you ever drink someone else's milkshake? Oh. You know, I'm watching that.

I'm re-watching that movie. I'll put a little bit on at a time. You're re-watching that, but you won't watch The Beatles, Doc? Ah, The Beatles, Doc. No, I'm going to watch that next week. For next week. Hey, Tim, do you feel any pings and pangs of salmonella taking hold? I don't.

I have, you know, blown off my pants with shit. Oh, no. And I barfed. I've been barfing. Keep an eye on that. I think the cognac burns it off. Yeah, when I got that ounce of cognac and the ounce of buttered Myers rum, I said, no egg could possibly withstand the heat.

Maybe does the hot milk burn it up? Hot milk's got its own issues. I don't know if that's helping or hurting. Don't worry. The raw eggs are safe because there's hot milk in there. Hot curdled milk. Do you think the eggs

cooked at all? I... Am I dipping toast into this thing with a side of sausage? Yes, I do think that the eggs are a nice thickening agent. I'll tell you this, Mike and listeners, if you want to know what we're drinking here, Jeff, let's be honest.

Hot nog, right? It's like hot egg nog. Yeah. Is it anything like tension tamer mint tea? Yeah, it's exactly like tension tamer mint tea. Well, hey, what makes a nog a nog? Like, did we just make our own egg nog? Like, did we just make our own eggnog? Dude, did we just make our own eggnog?

Egg? Egg and nutmeg? What happened last night? I think we made our own nog. Did we just make our own eggnog? Oh, no. Shit. Nobody knows what a nog's made out of.

You buy it, you pour it. Oh, pour it oh tim it's just whipped up eggs and vanilla i think tim i got myself some of that pennsylvania dutch oh hell yeah i love that shit i haven't tried it yet that's got brandy in it oh yeah i can't wait well here's what you do jay do it do what your boy does drink it on the rocks people some people think it's gross to have a creamy drink on the rocks but you're going to want Do what your boy does. Drink it on the rocks. Some people think it's gross to have a creamy drink on the rocks, but you're going to want to get that thing melty because it's really strong. You know what's a good creamy drink on the rocks? Rocks is the White Russian.

Oh, yeah. That's a good one. We've done that. I'm going for a little White Russian myself right now. Well, careful, Mike. You're sick. I like all the creamers. I had a rum chata not too long ago.

I had the creamy version of Di Serrano. You guys know I've been on a big Di Serrano kick. Was it your peppermint rum chata from the last year's holiday pack? I brought that... I went out to the desert this weekend. I brought that little peppermint nip of rum chata with me. Don't tell me you left it out there. No, I brought it back home. I mean, I don't know why I would have drank that out in the desert anyway. It is nice to take your nips on a little trip, though. It's a nip trip.

Yeah, it was a nip trip. You get them all belted in the backseat of your car and you drive them out to the desert, bring them home, put them in your liquor cabinet. Well, I heard, I saw a picture from that trip and you were at the club wearing something kind of low sort of a shirt with a low neck and I saw, nip slip on your nip trip! Yep!

Damn! Wrap it up! Wrap it up! What time? I'm looking at these Tom and Jerry parties so now that I know that I'm looking at these Tom and Jerry parties. So now that I know that I'm enjoying this drink, the Tom and Jerry parties are very fun because you have a, I love a party that has a central hook to it.

You know, that would be the appointment only party for sure. And, uh, uh, Ooh, Jeff, Jeff,

you made it. You had a nice, you had a gathering recently and you had a, a, a conversation drink on theme. Oh, yeah. That was nice. What did you make there?

Poinsettia punch. Poinsettia punch. You're hanging around. Hey, how's it going? Poinsettia punch. That's great. I can rattle it off. It's basically a vodka crayon with a little champagne in there.

And then for garnish, you got an orange zest some cranberries and a sprig of rosemary very well garnished to have the rosemary and the orange and the the cranberries floating in there i it was like a tree and it rose rosemary feels like you got a little chunk of christmas tree in there oh that's nice um this is the season now i'm looking at i did a google image search and i'm looking at if you want to look up tom and jerry stuff you gotta add the word cocktail otherwise i got news for you seeing cartoons okay i see dudes and i'm looking at the these bowls and cups that were the centerpieces of tom and jerry parties very nice it's a big punch bowl

it's white with red and green on it and it says tom and jerry and then has matching cups and matching mugs um that's that's a very fun theme for a party and this big bowl is reminding me that i got i got in a little trouble with a bowl drink this weekend uh uh jeffy you were there we got a little oh yeah yeah the uh we were at we were at a tiki bar we drank a scorpion bowl that's fun share a picture of that with a lit fire in the middle that looked great yep and then i i was responsibly drinking and i had been pacing out my drinks all night from from dinner to a late night bar I said Tim you're good at pacing out your nice drinks

and then you share them they compliment you on it strangers are walking by saying hey way to pace it out but then we a kind man sent us over a second scorpion bowl wasn't it the third one

by the time it landed? I think you or somebody had bought a second scorpion bowl. It was for a group, so we all thought, oh, that's fun and fine, and we'll all work together on this one. Is it just you two, or how many people are... This is like five

people. Okay. And then a man came up and said, guys, I love the pod. I love the show. And he plopped another scorpion bowl down. Wow. And it's a funny thing to have another one of because you're not really. First off, it's really important in drinking to know the portions you're having. If you have one beer, you had one beer.

If you had one shot, you had one shot. Most cocktails, you're like probably two ounces of liquor. But when you're drinking from a communal bowl, all bets are off. It's punch, you know? Yeah. Go ahead. Well, I'm a guy who doesn't really leave food on my plate.

I don't really – I like to look down and see table, you know? Plate's gone. Jesus. So even though I had been – I like to look down and see table, you know? Plate's gone. Jesus. So even though I had been – I had been having some interesting drinks. I had an Amaro. I had a Di Serrano. And then people weren't finishing the Scorpion Bowl, so I really like leaned in and I gave it like a suck, suck, suck. And I did basically – like, you know, you're like standing up to leave a restaurant.

You're like, oh, my water. You know? Yeah. I did that, but with a scorpion bowl with my long straw. Suck, suck. Yeah, we know how you drink it. Jeff, don't tell him. This is too classic.

No, guys. So anyway, it was. Future fucking classic right here. Now, here's... Nobody edit that into a funny bit. Okay, but here's what I didn't see coming. Yeah, yeah. You know you get a bunch of liquor in your stomach. It's a time bomb, right?

It hasn't kicked in yet, but it's in your stomach. Oh, yeah. Just waiting to take hold. In that short gestation period another thing happened which was jeff do you remember the beer chest yeah well this is at a bar where you're paying you go to a bar and you're paying money for drinks we what bar is this we can't say don't say okay. We can't say because it's our secret place to go get free beers. Yeah, go ahead. I like this.

Well, I didn't find the cooler. Did you find the cooler, Jeff? I was in the group of the people that found it. I can't take full credit for it. So there's like a waist high, like one of those really nice coolers on like legs. On like steel legs. Yeah. And, and I saw one of you guys pointed to at this point, I'm, I'm drunk, but I'm not blacking out or anything like that,

but I'm drunk. It's, it's midnight on Saturday and I'm drunk, but yeah, he found a piano. He's playing piano. Oh, I forgot about the piano.

Oh no. What did I play? Oh, it was like a Beethoven. You, you, you would have loved it play? Oh, it was like Beethoven. You would have loved it. You should hear yourself. Not one missed note? No, no. Well, as the scorpion is seeping into my blood,

then I go over and one of you guys pointed out this cooler. I open it and it's so weird because it was like, it was freshly packed with beers and ice. Like the ice hadn't melted. And there were, there was like 36 beers in this cooler. And I, I haven't had a beer in a long time.

I took out a bottle of Coors Light. Yeah. This shit's free. So we all took a bunch of beers and we cracked them and we, and we chugged them. Wow. It was a real finders keepers situation there at the bar that night. I've never heard of that.

Wait, wait. This was out just for the... Maybe there was a party? No. They were not meant to be grabbed by us, I'll tell you that. Oh, I see. But they were unguarded. The guy that bought us a scorpion bowl, it was his birthday.

So maybe this was part of a birthday party. Dude, I don't know because I showed him the chest too and he got really excited. So I don't think it came with him. Was he like, oh, wow, this is for my birthday. I couldn't find it. It was amazing. A chest full, a beer chest in a place

where you would have to spend a lot of money on a drink. There's a beer chest. How am I not going to? So do you think this is out there? Like next time you go back, do you think it's going to be there? If we go soon. That's why we can't get the word out because that's what i'm saying that's yeah i hope so and it's always like just freshly packed full of beers that would be great if

even melted if that was the bar's thing is just like hey if you go to this one bar there's a free chest of cold beers that are up for grabs you could pay 16 for a Mai Tai or you could have a free chest of beers. So, yeah, once I chugged a beer in two seconds. And then once all that I had, like, you know, that was an accidental drunk off my ass. And I forgot about the piano. Jeff, I feel like you kicked me out of your car at one point. Is that true? I feel like I was in the back of your car and then you're like, get out. Well, we were going to go to? I feel like I was in the back of your car and then you're like, get out. Well,

we were going to go to, I was driving and I was fine. I'd come from a movie and was joining later. That's how fine I was. So I was like, everybody in the car, we can still get Del Taco. And then Mitch was like,

my car's right here. Can you bring me back here after? So here was the thing. I was down to drive, but I wanted to like go home, go to bed. And so the idea of going to Del Taco and then to Mookie's to eat and then to bring Mitch back to his car,

I was like, no, get out of the, like your car, we're passing your car right now. Get out. Okay, that all checks out. I thought it was maybe my buffoonery that had got me kicked out of your car. No, no, no, no. Oh, I'm glad we cleared that up.

Was Tim kicked out to go into Mitch's car? Yeah. Well, when I kicked Mitch out, you and Mookie went too. Got it. And then I remember Mitch drove us through Del Taco. I got, you know, the burrito I like, the epic queso with the French fries in it. But then I don't remember eating the burrito, you know. That's no fun to have.

You had yourself a 1,500 calorie meal in the middle of the night and you don't remember it. That's no good. Damn. And I just, yeah, I got foggy. That hasn't really happened in a while. But hey, that's life. That sounds like a fun time. But I was telling Jeff, I want to sue that guy.

The guy who sent us the second bowl, he better lawyer up. Third bowl. He over-served me. And whoever packed that beer case. It's cool that someone recognized you and then bought you a drink from the thing you like to do. That was great. We encourage that, everybody. If you see us, send us anything you want.

We love it. That is really funny when people get drunk and then the next day they're like, I was over-served last night. Just putting it all on somebody else. I first told John Schrader, he says that like, I don't know what happened. It's just not his fault at all. Jesus Christ Christ that bar over served me my god

Jesus Christ what are they doing over there man over serving here I am but an innocent customer and I'm being over served alright well do you guys want to make a second round yeah here's the thing yeah no I don't because it's so much work All right. Well, do you guys want to make a second round? Yeah. Here's the thing.

Yeah. No, I don't because it's so much work. It's just so much work to heat. Well, it could just be you pour a little bit more. All right. Well, we're taking the commercial break anyway, Jeff. Oh, yeah, you're right. You know that. I need the time because I'm going to root around in my fridge

and see if I have any of the Trader Vic's batter in a jar, and then maybe I could taste what that was like and compare and contrast. Take time with the batter jar because he likes to heal. Fade us out of here, Jeff. He likes to steal. I'm half the man that he used to be. You want Jeff to fade us out, but then you also. It sounds like you got a handle.

I just, no. That was so Jeff wouldn't have to go back and do it. Ah. Oh, nice. Thanks for looking out for me, man. Hold on. I got to fade myself back in. No problem, Jeff.

I can do that anytime you want. Yeah, let's get you back in here. Okay, great. Folks, we'll see you... All right, I'm going to fade myself out. See you guys later. Okay. Hey, folks, we'll see you in a bit.

Goodbye. Later. Goodbye. Later. Bye. Now we're back with round two of Tom and Jerry's. Yes, and not only do we have round two of Tom and Jerry's, but we have some data from Twitter to report on. Oh, yes. Does Zuby Condorino, is he coming back?

We asked the Twittersphere, did you like Zuby Condorino when he was on our podcast? Yes or no? We got 202 votes, so this is pretty. Wow. The people have spoken. Pretty definitive data. Pretty robust.

Are you ready for it? Are you ready for it? Well, let me give you some of the replies are good because in addition to Zuby, there's a lot of people saying they love Julian Chalazzo. Who's on our patron show. Lots of people, people liking Dr.

Benedicto, a little thriller. People say, those guys are going to come back. Someone here likes Morris Mantelbaum but doesn't like Julian Chialazzo. Oh, interesting. So it's very interesting. And then the big news is 91% of the public has spoken.

And yes, they do like Zuby Condorino. They like Zuby. All right. Okay. So you guys are just not in that percentage of the public. I liked him. I thought he was fine. Here's my theory.

Liz says, I didn't like him as a person. Like I would not like to hang out with him, but I enjoyed listening to him. So I think that's our deal is me and Jeff had to talk on a podcast. I see. So you're taking the bullet for Liz and all the other Patrons. Yeah. Yeah, you could say that. You should say that.

But enough about our dear friend Zuby. How are the second rounders? Did you do anything different? Jeffy? I did textbook. Round two. You made it again? Round two.

Yeah, perfect. Very nice. round two you made that you made it again like round two yeah perfect very nice um i reached around the back of my fridge and found a jar of trader vick's tom and jerry batter you did wait what yeah you had it the whole time yeah the whole time the whole time i had i had it a year ago and i forgot about it and then i just found it now. Very different. I took a spoon right to the dome and it seemed different. It was kind of like, I guess like cookie dough. Just kind of tastes like brown sugar, like wet brown sugar and kind of thick. Like that pre-made cookie dough you buy.

But to everyone out there who's too lazy to make batter, yeah, this worked. I like Jeff's batter better because it... Batter better. Because I had the egg, it thickened up a little bit more. But this one, once I got the cognac and the rum and the milk in there, this is... This counts. You can buy this stuff. Yeah.

Buy it. Do it. You buy liquor, right? You're not making your own vodka when you're putting a vodka crayon together. Jesus. You don't buy a fucking potato and distill it. Thank you very much. Should we get into final thoughts and be done with it?

Yeah. My final thought is yes, I love it. Round two, order again, all of it. It's great. Wow. Not even appointment only. Okay. But what's the context?

It's not a caroling drink like hot buttered rum because it's creamy. I think this is a Tom and Jerry party. You have a Tom and Jerry party. You get the bowls and the mugs. Yeah. It's to make six or eight of them or more and to do a bunch and be done. Folks, this is the definition of appointment only, but it's the good version. Okay.

You know, there was a... It's worth the appointment. What was it? Buttered rum or hot buttered rum? I said it's appointment only, but in a bad way. Oh, yeah. This is sort of like the positive side. But here's the thing, folks.

I made the batter, and you should make the batter. But it's a fiasco. You're separating eggs. You're dealing with sawdust at some point. It's not a walk in separating eggs. You're dealing with sawdust at some point. It's not a walk in the park. You're dealing with sawdust. If you're using a can opener that was also a paint can opener. It's a fiasco.

But you should do it. It's a lot of stuff. Do it. Drink it. That's the time of the season. It certainly is. I had never heard of this drink and especially never heard it as a Christmas drink. I'm glad it's now in my brain.

Mike, can I ask you a question that you maybe covered in the intro, but I wasn't listening? Sure, sure. The cartoon Tom and Jerry, is it named after the book series? I never found anything about that. Yes, it is. It is, though. It is. I think so, yeah.

Oh. No, no, though. It is. I think so, yeah. Oh. No, no, no. I happen to know that Simon and Garfunkel were originally called Tom and Jerry. Were they named after the cartoon or the drink? Hmm. That is for another time. Jeff, why don't you close us out? Oh, fuck.

I can't wait till next week. That's our show. Follow us on social media at The Sloppy Boys where we release these recipes ahead of time. Also be sure to check out our Patreon where you can unlock all sorts of bonus goodies like our bonus monthly show, Questions for Lennon and our bonus weekly show, The Sloppy Boys Blowout.

Ooh. Coo, hambugoo. I'll give him a break. Folks, batter up, and we'll see you next week. You don't mean like, I'll ask you next week. You don't mean like... I'll ask you next week. Shit.

Shit. Shit. Shit. Give it up for your boys
