What is up with all the Angostura in this drink? Yeah, geez Louise. Tell me about it. Folks, we're back together. IRL. Yeah.

One last time. Sitting here in Jeff's apartment on Christmas Eve. Yeah. We see the snow, the LA snow is falling. The holiest night of the year. Hmm. Well, Jeff, what do you think of Mike? Having him out here? What do you think of him? What do you think of this? He out here what do you think of him he's a he's a fixture of the living room i'll say this mike not a big shower this guy you're gonna out me

you take two showers a day what's up with that that's not always true you take a shower at night and in the morning i was tired and cold okay wait you took a shower because night and in the morning? I was tired and cold. Okay. Wait, you take a shower because you're tired and cold? Uh-huh. I see it to warm up, but doesn't warming up make you hot? You know, if you're like a little miserable and you get a hot shower, it's like, fuck, I love this shower. Yeah, I walked in the door. He's like, oh, great. I'll be in the shower.

I'll be in the shower. Miserable. Yeah. But I remember I did take two showers before you took one, and I did think that was weird. Yeah. Well, don't worry about me and my showers. I'm doing fine.

I took a shower right before this. What do you want from me? Hey, not bad. Thank you. And you're right. It does make me feel better. And I saw the second time, or like after my second shower, I got into the bathroom, and I saw your towel,

and I touched it to make sure it was damp, and I was really settled to find that, okay, you did shower at some point. Do I smell bad? No, no, not at all. I'm a big shower person when it's like, oh, I'm going out. If I'm just here all day. You're going out. Yeah, yeah.

If I'm here on your couch, you know, doing work. You don't want to look your best? Well, there's nothing going on. Nothing going on. We had you know, doing work. You don't want to look your best? Well, there's nothing going on. Nothing going on? We had Taco Bell the other night. Yeah, that's true. We went out and we decided, it was last night, we went out and we didn't think we were going to go out, but we stayed out.

Went out and stayed out. Long time. Wow. That's wild. Actually, you know what? We got to shout out Jackie She gave us free Shots of Jameson Over at

Howard Howard and Stone No Harvard and Stone Harvard and Stone Jackie we appreciate it We'd love that by the way Let's put out the word To all the bartenders

Don't charge us Yeah If you know us Even if you don't know us Give us booze Well so this is a Christmas special, right? It's a special. We're all together.

I had big plans to finally drink my peppermint rum chata, and I forgot to bring it. We also had big plans for Mike to try on my red buffalo plaid, and I forgot to bring that. I saw that rum chata in your fridge the other day when I was over. You did? I thought he was doing snooping around. I wanted to see where that thing was. Well, Tim, don't worry. I think the Trinidad Sour Christmas Special will go off without a hitch.

I think you're right. Yeah, so this came up. I mean, we had this drink a year ago, and we loved it. But what made it? Why is it a Christmas special? We said, we'll bring this around because it tastes sort of like it has holiday cheer. Well, it's a it's a fave of the pod sure a revelation it was i'd say it's a standout when people say

i mean i get people on the street all the time hey tim what's your favorite drink from the pod i said the biggest surprise the biggest shocker is the trinidad sour because we just uh we didn't we picked it off a list never had never, never heard. Never had, never heard. We picked it specifically being like, we've had some heavy hitters recently. Let's go with a boring one. And then we accidentally picked the most thrilling drink of all. And so cool that it was, it was,

it was, still got that COVID lingering. Yeah, don't keep it over there. Well, yeah. I'm not contagious anymore. Keep it there two feet away. Yeah, I'll take it in the shower with you son of a bitch well son of a what was i starting to say oh yeah it's the cool of the uh the trinidad sour was a new drink yeah from like jeez i don't remember let me look up this stuff i should have done this before i can't remember. It was a year ago-ish.

Had to have been. Yeah, that was probably like- Just had to have been. March, maybe? I want to say- It was spicy. The Angostura, we were like, hey, this is new and weird, and actually kind of spicy and Christmassy.

Yeah, and also we were shocked at the amount of bitters because I also know bitters is like bitters and soda is something that sober people drink a lot. So I assumed that bitters had no booze in it. As they did on Another Round. Yeah. They commented on that. Wow. I'm as smart as them.

Members of the Dogma 95 movement in Denmark. Vinterberg? Thomas Vinterberg? Vintenberg? Anyway, but before we get too deep into the drink of the day

into the Trinidad's Hour Christmas special the Trinidad's Hour Christmas special 2009 2009 Giuseppe Gonzalez

Clover Club in Brooklyn yeah we got an email out to Giuseppe right now and he has not responded we'll see if he you're watching that inbox let's see if he reaches out in the next 45 minutes it may be one of those christmas miracles ring no no giuseppe

he knocks on our window you up there tim go ahead you were i would did um before we go too much further one of you guys mentioned Christmas. That's right. Oh, yeah, yeah. The Christmas special, yeah. You guys are excited for Christmas? I love Christmas. I love that time of year.

I think it's fun. It's a festive time of year, and everyone's got that holiday spirit. I wish I could share your enthusiasm. What? I want to be excited about Christmas just like you guys. What's he on about? We're in the same thing, Sherlock Holmes. I think the truth is, if you really think about it, Christmas is...

I think what I'm trying to say, and I think you guys would agree with me, is that Christmas is... I hope he says what he's He thinks Christmas is Look Christmas is great That's right Tim say no more Maybe I could put this best In a song I like that

I like that idea idea christmas time is weird rather odd quite queer think of all the things we do that are just kind of weird. A tree in your house, that's a little off. Usually they're in the woods among their leafy friends. Stockings hung with care. I'm okay. Fire hazard much. One of those things goes up in flames. I'm out the fucking door.

Santa's hat is red what's that all about what does he think he is some kind of MAGA guy Rudolph's nose is weird I know that's been pointed out before But still it's worth mentioning It oughta be dark black Snow is kind of weird. At least admit it's cold. Why can't it be nice and warm like rain or even toast?

Candy canes are bent. Plus those red and white stripes. Who do they think they are? Jack and Megan White. Megan White. Sleigh bells in the air that one's not so bad

but still I got my eye on you so sleigh bells watch your ass then there's mistletoe I can't even with that one

I'm not even gonna touch it But I dunk on it so hard Another thing that's weird Is all the spoofy songs. They sound just like the normal songs, but the lyrics are utterly twisted. Wow. So you are, your feeling about Christmas is it's a little weird. Thank you.

Unusual. Unusual. Yes. The things we do during the season. Yeah, they're not like the other things that we do the whole rest of the year. Right. Well, what about, there's things like, how do you feel about like Halloween time? Different thing.

People dress up in weirdo costumes. I have to agree with you. That's also weird. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So the holidays are weirdo costumes. I have to agree with you. That's also weird. Yeah, okay. So the holidays are weird of any type of holiday. Gotcha. Gotcha. I'm out the fucking door.

I hope I didn't push any buttons with that song, people listening. If you don't think Christmas is weird, if you think it's normal, that's fine. Hey, don't add us. You do you. Christmas is tomorrow, so they've got one day of being PO'd and then it's like oh fresh start clean slate

get over it get get get over it I was just gonna say that what band is that no it's the band that I'm gonna say Chevelle what? Oh Ok Go before Ok Go found their sound,

they were a little more weasery and they said, get, get, get, get, get over it. That's so crazy. They just do funny videos. That must have been like a curse for them. If you were a band and it's like, don't you think they're like, can't we just make a fucking song?

Can't we just make a fucking record without having to go to zero gravity planes to do a... They are impressive videos. They are, but now they've set themselves up to everything they do. They have to have a crazy video to go along with it. And that their songs aren't particularly... It's not like the theme of the lyrics ties in with the thing. It's just like a random Rube Goldberg video.

That's one of the... Here we go again, I gotta go. That's just like a random Rube Goldberg video. That's one of their Here we go again, I gotta go. That's a good song. I gotta go. Get over it. Maybe they'll be showing up here at our little Christmas special. They're here right now doing the

choreographed dance. Oh my god, they all picked up the same ball. I wonder if other celebrities will be showing up. Oh, my God. They all picked up the same ball. I wonder if other celebrities will be showing up. Oh, I wonder. Maybe Bob Dylan will show up. Of all the old rockers, Bob Dylan might show up. I think he did a Christmas album.

Maybe he's going to show up later. Yeah. Yeah, maybe. But until then, let's get in some boob boob boob boob boob news. Hit it.

It reminded me of Homestar Runner or something. Yeah. Watch out, King. Droopy's coming for the throne. Droopy got the assignment.

He understood it? No, he got it he got it he understood he received it he received it well i wanted to use this christmas booze news to talk about you know we talked about the liquor gift sets and stuff like that and i i said hey slopheads tag us in whatever i mean what are you getting what are you getting hey man and a few people got uh tagged us in some cool stuff but really more than any gift packs the the big thing that we got sent to us this holiday season you got sent stuff not not physically okay tagged oh yeah okay and these were not people didn't actually get this into their hands this was just that this articles and stuff were sent to us in in largest numbers of all the the booze products doing something wacky this christmas um the you know the crown was won by miller beer because they had two things did you guys see the uh beer nament

it's like an ornament but it's beer beer. Uh-huh. It's a, it's a Miller Lite, a round Miller Lite can that's a Christmas ornament. Oh, yes, I did see that. And it's an eight ounce beer

and you crack it open. I didn't realize you could open it up. Me too. I thought it was just an, uh, like ornament shaped like that, but that was actually. Oh,

I got to get those. Damn, that's cool. And then this one was, I'll go out tonight. Just wandering the streets. Just in time. Um, and then this one was kind big... I'll go out tonight. Just wandering the streets. Just in time. And then this one was kind of an internet-y one.

Also Miller, the High Life Gingerbread Dive Bar Kit. Huh? Whoa. It's a gingerbread house kit. Oh. Like you're a kid and you get the walls and the roof and you ice it. But it's a little dive bar? It's a little dive bar.

Sick. Does it have like a's a little dive bar? It's a little dive bar. Sick. Did it have like a dumpster in the back? It has. It was a cool looking thing. It was chocolate trash. The picture that I'm looking at. Gumdrop puke.

It's got little, it has like little peppermint stools and like little neon lights and stuff. That's awesome. Oh, I love it. Very well done.

And so you can buy that. That's not just like somebody's art project. No, you go online and you could buy these, but I can fork over my money to a corporation. Please, please, please. Do you like corporate shit?

I do because around Christmas time you need them because where are you going to get the gifts from? You need that stuff. You got to get the stuff. You got to take off the,

you know, turn on the cash flow. Yeah. I thought these were the best ideas and cute, fun things. I said,

that's kind of cool. But I do ding them because I didn't see any of these out. Like I tried to order this gingerbread dive bar and it was like sold out. And it's like, yeah, no shit. It's sold out. Like you probably only made five of these out. I tried to order this gingerbread dive bar, and it was sold out. And it's like, yeah, no shit, it's sold out.

You probably only made five of these. Right, right, right. And you took pictures of them. Damn. It's a problem with this collab culture that we live in. You think so? What do you mean? Well, you got Miller and gingerbread collabing on this.

And Christmas ornaments and Miller. That's interesting. You only have to make a couple things, limited products. Right. And then you make a lot of money. Well, that's what happens all the time is you, you mean like a band that makes only three albums. Yeah.

They're in short supply. Yeah, yeah, digitally. Yeah, yeah. And then they stream a million times and you get three grand from Spotify. Hmm. Wow, yeah. Oh yeah, just as a reminder to everybody, keep playing it. Go on Spotify and just play it

on repeat. Yeah, you can turn your speakers off and just let it roll. Play, play, play. I should do that too. I keep forgetting. Say you're going home for Christmas for a week. Leave it at that. That's a lot of plays. Yeah. Leave your computer at home. And with that, wrap up

Booze News. Ho, ho, ho. The distant passing of a present-filled sleigh. Oh. I think it was probably Santa's sleigh. Yeah. On a night like tonight? And that sound? Yeah, that's probably going to be Santa's sleigh. You ever on a night like tonight? And that sound? Yeah, that's probably going to be Santa's sleigh.

You ever look at the NORAD Santa tracker? On Christmas Eve? Never heard of it? It's this website that they have for kids and their uncles. Well, any believers. Believers of any age. Kids like Tig and uncles like

me. It's like this little thing it's got a map of the world and you see like where Santa Claus is going but NORAD is like missiles and shit right no I that sounds familiar but this is like it's called NORAD

we'll never know what it means or is it like you know SETI S-E-T-I Yeti SETI is the search for-T-I? No. Yeti. Oh. Yeti? SETI is the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. They're like monitoring the airwaves.

Angels and airwaves? Ooh. Yeah. Ooh. COVID. COVID. Did you guys have like residual? Residual.

Bad residuals. Throat stuff. Not the kind of residuals you want. We made that joke. or i made that joke last week not those green envelopes you love oh by the way this this won't be interesting to anybody else i got a check for bajillion dollar properties today yeah what the fuck i haven't gotten one oh i'll have that waiting for me at home i hope it's very funny when the like residuals with streaming are so random that just like the smallest job you ever did for one day like out of nowhere like sends you like like a few hundred bucks i stopped getting sag checks a long time ago and when i said when i got a mail

i was like what am i late on some do or something and it was a check and i was like what's this from bajillion dollar properties it sounds like it maybe got bought by Paramount. Are they airing it on big screens at Cineplexes across the world? That'd be pretty good. Damn. Paramount Plus, that's a good place to be. They got the jackass movies. It does.

I have not seen, but I would like to see, the South Park movie things. Specials. What? Oh, 14 movies coming for a billion dollars or something like that. On Paramount or HBO. But, but you know,

they made that, they made that huge deal for like almost a billion dollars to make like 12 specials for comedy central and Paramount plus are one in the same. I see. I think I actually looked through that, a thumb through that uh thumb through that contract because i'm just interested in that stuff yeah sure and next to i love to read probably ran out of stuff to read yeah it's a get readers digest we're gonna get you a subscription

this guy is a fucking chainsaw when it comes to the written word you gotta you gotta have something that don't last long around me um no i was reading it and said right next to uh the dollar amount there was um an asterisk and i went i went all the way to the end and it was you know a billion dollars and then you go and it's the asterisk is a billion cheesy poops oh that sucks yeah, it does suck. It sucks. It sucks. It fucking sucks. Jerry, Matt.

Sorry. Hearts go out to you on Christmas Eve. Your little fat buddy, Cartman. What's his name? Cartman. Yeah. He'd love those cheesy puffs, but he's a cartoon, dudes. You got swintled.

You got mouths to feed. Okay. What else are we talking about? Drink of the day. Oh, yeah, yeah got swintled. You got mouths to feed. Okay. What else were we talking about? Drink of the day. The Trinidad Sour. Mm-mm. We did that a little while ago. Just to recap, it was made in

2009 by Giuseppe Gonzalez at the Clover Club in Brooklyn. It was great. It was great. It was great. It was something we all were surprised that we liked. Had never had, never heard. We loved it.

And Giuseppe, we do want to talk to you about it at some point. Yeah. Yeah. So come on the pod and defend yourself for making a delicious drink we love. It is maybe weird for us to revisit a drink. We've never done it before. Yeah. And so early.

And, you know, maybe we made friends with some bartenders along the way during this podcast. And maybe some of those bartenders said, hey, I've met Giuseppe Gonzalez. Yeah. He actually liked what you said about him. Yeah, yeah. And we thought, hey, you know what we should do? We should do a Trinidad Sour Christmas special and try and get Giuseppe Gonzalez on the show. Yeah.

And here he is. Hi, guys. He still has at least 35 minutes to return to get back. Yeah, could happen. He could be on. You know, I feel like even if he's not here, his spirit is among us. Yeah, the spirit of Giuseppe Gonzalez.

Well, he made a great drink and i went to the clover club and had it and i as i as i said last time we talked about i didn't like it as much as the one i made on this damn show didn't you say i mean that's no surprise you're a master mixologist but didn't you say it's like no longer on the menu so you asked for it and they had to be like yeah the waiter was kind of like uh she didn't exactly know what i was talking about i said oh the trinidad is our just happy gonzalez created in those fucking right through those fucking doors um the the clover club is bar that that's like since we've talked about this the first time you know we're stupid so we started this podcast we don't know shit

yeah and then we kind of like get information wrong and stuff and then time passes you realize like oh we were we had no information we were talking about something that like anyone that knows about cocktails was probably like screaming at their phones uh the clover club is owned by like the the lady that runs that place is like huge i want to say her name is Sarah Reiner. Okay. Or Carol Reiner. I'm just demonstrating. Carl Reiner? Carl Reiner, that's it.

Was it Carl Reiner in a wig? She's a super famous icon, and that's her bar. The reason for the Trinidad is that Angostura bitters are made in Trinidad. There was a competition there to that Angostura bitters are made in Trinidad. There was like a competition there to make cocktails out of bitters.

And Giuseppe said, I'm going full bore making bitters the main spirit in my drink. And it's fucking delicious. Delicious, nutritious, and what's in this little sucker? Let's talk about that. Give them the recipe like we normally do.

Let me look at this. Hit them with it. Let me find that email. Julie Reiner. I looked it up. Julie Reiner. Nice. There you go.

That's pretty good. Yeah. Okay, I am on the IBA. Trinidad Sour. And I quote. Ingredients. 45 milliliter Angostura bitters. 30 milliliters.

Au Grit syrup. Orgeat. There you go. Let's call it Orgeat. Yeah. Oh, great. Yeah. 22.5 millimeters fresh Joie de Lemon.

Millimeters? Milliliters. Ah, yes. Fresh Joie de Lemon. Millimeters? Milliliters. Ah, yes. Fresh Joie de Lemon. Lemon juice. And 15 milliliter Rauw Whiskey. Method, pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker, shake well with ice, strain into chilled cocktail glass, garnish not applicable.

Don't even try applying that garnish. Oh, hold on. This is up, huh? No ice. ice forgot about that up it's right it's up if it's a cardi b drink it's served in a coop so the coop class yeah okay now this is interesting in a poop i could imagine being very good on the rocks because you can have a whiskey sour on the rocks hey that's a funny thing that in the meantime since we did this drink we learned what sours are yeah it's a spirit and a

sweet thing and a citrus citrus so that's what we're having here really a little rye whiskey in there for uh for good measure yeah but you can have sours on the rocks and they're delicious and but we did these up last time and i meant to bring some fancy coupe glasses for jeff you do yeah i see folks i used to have no coupes damn not a coupe for miles not even a little deuce coupe nah uh beach boys by the way uh which one beach boys uh brian wilson come on the pod we would love. Maybe they'll show up soon and sing one of their Christmas songs. You never know who might show up at the Trinidad Sour Christmas special. Yes, it's the Trinidad.

It is special. It's not a normal episode. It's special. I sang a song. Yeah, that was nice. We talked about maybe celebrities might show up. We mentioned all the people who might come by. Yeah, and we're all in L.A. together.

That's special. That's special. That's special. We had a booze news theme that had nothing to do with Christmas. But it was kind of raising awareness about a new Velvet Underground documentary. Right. Timely. Bingo, bango, bongo. Should we take a little break and make three big, beautiful Trinidad sours?

Take a little break. Make the sea sour. Take a little break. Yeah, let, beautiful Trinidad sours? Take a little break. Make the sea sour. Take a little break. Yeah, let's do it. What song is that? That's the Trinidad Sour song. But were you doing it on a higher? As featured on the Trinidad Sour Christmas.

Take a little break. Give me just a little of your love. Take a little break. Oh, Haim. Give me just a little of your love. Give me just a little of your love. It makes me think of a Pete Townsend song. That little piece of your...

Let my love open the door to your heart. Let my love open the door to your heart. I wonder what that guy's getting for Christmas this year. Do you just give that guy guitar stuff? Do not give him guitars. They'll smash it to smithereens, man. That means he likes it. That means he likes it.

No, he has disdain for them. Yeah, disdain pedals. Here's my sustain and here's my disdain. All right, all right. Folks, enjoy the ads. We'll see you in a couple minutes. Goodbye. Great.

Enjoy the ads, you suckers. If you were a patron, you wouldn't have to listen to them. But you're not. And we're back with Trinidad Sours here on the Trinidad Sour Christmas Special. It's special. Ring dong, ding dong. Ooh, I am out of breath from shaking. Shook the shit out of me.

Yeah, you went a little wild with that shake. I went ham there. I lost myself for a moment. I said, this guy. You better lose yourself in the Trinidad. No, no. No, not tonight. Lose yourself in the moment.

Well, let's do it. Yeah, let's take some. They look beautiful. They look Christmassy. They look fantastic. These do really look Christmassy. I had kind of forgot. A deep red brown.

It looks like a beet juice. It does. It's frothy on top. I actually hear it's as healthy for you as beet juice. Woo. Amazing. Wow. Well done.

Amazing. It's funny because I haven't had one since and then have it again. It's like, oh yeah, it's so velvety. And it's sour. It pings and pangs all over the tongue and the first thing you get is just cold and a little sweet yeah then you get that rushing wave of bitters russian wave rushing wave i was like there's no vodka falling in the kitchen over there. Was that one of the celebrity guests coming in?

No, I guess not. Giuseppe? No. No, it's just me. Duh. Tom. A different person. No, Jerry Thomas.

Oh. The ghost of Jerry Thomas. Stop making my drinks! I drink myself to death! Much like you three should! Hey! Hey! Drink up, you idiots!

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Enough. Oh? Oh. A lot of clattering. Yeah. Clattering on New Year's, or Christmas Eve. What does that usually end up being?

It's tough not to just keep sipping on it. And you forget you're doing a podcast. And this is a good sipper, not a gulper. Yep. My first thing was a gulp and I said, that's too much. I mean, this is the fanciest drink that we can think of at fanciest taste not that these are even premium ingredients but uh gulping this is sort of like uh it'd be a sin it would be a sin and on

somebody's got a really a wet cough outside somebody outside is coughing and it's gross really hacky cough i bet you that they're out there like, I'm trying to cough. All I can hear is this podcast. All I hear is funny, funny podcasters. I mean, it's that thing. It's that perfect balance, right? Where that's got orgeat in it, which is sweet almond syrup. But you're not tasting it.

No. That's got lemon juice in it, which is sour. You're not tasting that. I mean, you're getting sourness, but you're not tasting a lemon. But it's all kind of coming together. The sum is greater than the whole is. The whole. No one's had it, Tim.

The whole. H-O-L-E. Yeah. The whole is greater. Watch out. But it is. This is what you're looking at is a balance game. watch out but it is this is what you're looking at

is a balance game this is a victory of balance because that's a lot of lemon juice a lot of bitters yes

a lot of syrup and you know rye's in there too this is this is the Simone Biles of cocktails it's got balance my friend

yes it's all super strong sure Dominic Mochiano too. I'll tell you what, I always and don't forget Carrie Strug. Sure, sure. Dominic does. I always talk about how

I like bourbon more than rye. And sometimes I drink a call for rye and I put bourbon anyway because I'm a bad boy. But in this one, the spicy, you want the spice of the rye to add another ping to the pang. This might be, This might just be another cocktail I make at my Christmas party. Oh, Tim. This is going to turn heads.

It will, and I'll tell you what, it'll turn heads and break the bank because that Angostura ain't cheap. Yeah, no. And you can only get it in that one size. See, you want to point set a punch if you're entertaining. See, well, that's what I talked about last time. But now I'm having this, I say, I could really turn some heads. Oh, yeah.

Mike, is it weird for you to be in the spot where I first tasted my first poinsettia punch? On this couch? Yep. I knew it had a certain, some life in this couch. I laid down the other day and I was like, wow, there's history here. You know, you go to somebody's house and you sit on their couch. It's like, oh, this came from the Seeley brothers.

Okay. Seeley, Simmons, Serta. Samsonite. Slappy, Swanson. Dumb and Dumber. Check it out, folks. You know, I... Did you guys hear this thing about Annie Lennox?

In the news? What thing? This thing about Annie Lennox? In the news? What thing? This thing about this new song that she put out? No. No. Oh, wow. Well, apparently Annie Lennox has like, apparently, is he going to win? Is he going to win 2001 or 2021?

Yeah, maybe. He understood the assignment. Continue. So she, you know, she's a So she's a successful singer, songwriter. From the Eurythmics to... Solo stuff. Yes. To helping Marilyn Manson write that song.

Helping, yeah. Oh, yeah. He was in need and he's like, good. Can I use your song? Can I use your song? You've got to get the apparently kid and and can i pay your dog kid together all the funny uh online kids it's 2021 was their year anyway so she has this job she she was a songwriter but then she went back to work because i don't know if she was she lost some money doing

something like a normal joe's job normal job like uh she works at some in like the digital department marketing department of uber or something that happened with like who's the cosby show actor who was spotted at trader joe's oh yeah look hollywood is tough entertainment stuff you don't you're not just because you're successful at some point doesn't mean you're always going to be right you buy you buy so many houses and boats and things it's like whoa i gotta pay for all these i gotta work and pick up a ship to trader joe's yeah so but yeah she works in an office and um apparently kid she had um like the end of the year is coming up and she didn't know she was gonna get her christmas bonus which i guess she needed for something specific because she's not a very good worker

because she's a singer or songwriter. That's not what they do. She doesn't know how the office works. So she would just, I guess, be a poor worker. Well, let's listen to the song. I think the new song is about that. Perfect. Okay. Yeah, I was going to say,

there's a lot to sort of just keep in my head. So it is Annie Lennox. She's back at work, but she's not good at her job. But she does need money. She needs the money for Christmas. Yeah, but the rest will be in the song. The rest will be in the song. You don't have to do that. All right, great.

I can't wait to hear it. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Everyone in my family wants a PlayStation 2. Voice of an angel. I don't have that much money, so I'm kind of screwed. And I might not get a Christmas bonus, because my work life is trash.

Cause my work life is trash But I think I could turn it around So all this month I'm kissing my boss's ass Kissing my, kissing my boss's ass Backing vocals Kissing my, kissing my boss's ass. I'll hold the door when I see him coming. Say thank you and please. And give him fun rubs all through lunch.

But only up to his knees Gotta stop coming in at noon And leaving at three And I've got to stop Hiding out in the bathroom To videotape my co-worker's pee She's pee. This is bad.

Gonna wash my boss's car every morning. Cause I really need that cash. And I'm too stupid to rob a bank. So all this month I'm gonna. All this month I'm gonna. This whole month I'm gonna, oh, this month I'm gonna, this whole month I'm gonna, oh, December I'll be kissing my boss's ass. I love that B build up to the final chorus. Kissing my, kissing my boss's ass. I never thought of her as a soprano with such a high voice like this, but yeah.

I think I know something about that. Kissing my boss's ass. Beautiful. Gonna kiss that ass. That big old ass. Gonna kiss that whole damn ass so I can get my family a gaming console from many years ago. Many years ago. Many years ago.

Oh, let me see that ass. Oh, actually physically kissing it. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. God. Annie Lennox. Yeah.

You noticed the thing about her voice. She apparently had COVID recently. Oh, that's what it was. she apparently uh had um covid recently and uh oh she couldn't do her usual voice wasn't hitting correctly so she found that register that worked for her yeah yeah well that explains it i i admire in her just like the the realness and the openness of just not playing like rock star games and acting above us just admitting like i don't have a lot of money i'm i'm working and this is a bad at work i come in late and leave early it also i will say the melody and parts of the arrangement were very reminiscent of her song uh walking on broken glass yeah i think i think that's what these people do it's like i got these tunes laying around yep i'll just kind of reshuffle so yeah what's working yeah i work with what's working yeah that's what they say.

It worked again. It worked on me. I loved it. And it'll work on you. It's a fun little song to find. When you find a song like that, you're like, oh, I hit the mother. It wasn't hard to find.

I was in the car the other day. I turned on the radio. Kiss FM? Yeah. And now the number one song on earth. Explaining why she is working poorly. I don't know. Rel Kiss FM? Yeah. And now the number one song on earth. Explaining why she is working poorly. I don't know. Relatable stuff.

Yeah. Yeah. For a so-called diva. Is she one of the divas? Well, her album is called Diva. Oh. But she wasn't on VH1's Divas. No, no.

And she's not on the new show Divas. What show is that? Like pick up a newspaper, man. Oh, God. We'll deal with this over the commercial break. Ho, ho, ho, and we'll be right back, folks, here at the Trinidad Sour Christmas Special Spectacular. Oh, yes.

Hey. And coming up, a surprise call from Giuseppe Gonzalez. And I wish you post to maybe do something too. And apparently I'm going to appear on the show. And apparently it's going to be one of the best episodes ever. Get up at your dog. Get up at your reindeer. All right.

All right. All right. Kiss my boss's ass. We'll be right back. And we're back with the Trinidad Sour Christmas special. You know what would be nice, Jeff, when you're putting this edit together? Get some of those jingle bell sounds when we come back. Jingle bell.

We're back. Just one loud one. Jingle bell. Put a little reverb on it. You know what? I think those should be used in more songs non-Christmas. Yeah. A bell, like the rack of bells.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Another sound I like, like that tambourine, but especially tambourine with the delay on it. They're like... Oh, yeah, yeah. Jason. Kiki kaka. Kiki kaka.

Kiki karee and kaka doodle doo. We're back. Trinidad's our Christmas special. Everyone is hobnobbing and the cheer is in gear, folks. And I'm the big hand bobber. No, you're not, Tim. I'm a huge fan. That's stolen valor.

Hey, when you were talking about Annie Lennox, the relatability of the humility of some big star falling on hard times yeah reminded me of a moment where uh when when we were when we had our ifc show the birthday boys i one time on my uh driving my honda civic here in uh lewis field california nice car breaks down pull over the side of the road. Broken car. Me standing there waiting for AAA to come tow it. And while I'm standing there sad looking at my phone somebody drives by, slows down and says

Hey, love the show. Hey, nice. My like crumpled shitty Honda on the civic and I was like, thank you. Thank you. Love the show. Don't like what you're doing right now this sucks yeah i like you better on tv you dork this isn't funny also i mean that car was also like crumpled in like a tin can even before it broke down did you oh it just broke that you didn't get well if you recall my job for a little while between being a production assistant for james

l brooks and being a comedy writer i had about a year where my job was like getting hit and getting the insurance money oh yeah i had two different accidents accidents where i got on the 101 i got rear-ended by a guy who was on drugs oh and i got a five thousand dollar payout and i didn't fix my car i just lived off it sick and then it happened to get well i was like getting toward the end back then too our rent was like 450 oh yeah that was like a full six months of living like a king of five grand damn and um then as i was like running out of that five grand like what am i gonna do i got hit again and i got this was the smaller but i got an eleven hundred dollar payout and i kept it and i was like like, this Honda, I gotta just go park behind

people who I think might back into me and just get annihilated. Drive around with your lights off? I thought you were going to tell another funny car story when you got the T-Bird from the album cover. T-Man. She's a beaut. This is, we're talking about an 02 Ford

Thunderbird, 250 horses, V8 engine. I've driven that thing and it's got some pickup. Giddy up and go. I thought it was an old boat, but this thing. Do you remember the first time Odenkirk saw that car? Yeah. He's like, oh, Tim, no.

Tim, what are you doing? You can't. You guys pointed to it. You were like, because Bob was on the side. We were driving our two cars. And then Bob was on the sidewalk. And you're like, hey, Bob, look at Tim's new car. What are you doing?

Oh, Tim, no. You spent all your money, you fool. That car has held up, though. Yeah, I've got it up over. I'm coming up on the hundred thousand mile mark and you know when a car just hits that moment where you're like i think this will go forever and then in like one month kind of everything is breaking yeah i'm in that month right now damn that's tough kind of sucks but i did put a bomb ass sound system in there so

i keep it thumping maybe that's what jiggled it all it's all loose you got the alpine in there so i keep it thumping maybe that's what jiggled it all yeah it's all loose you got the alpine in there it is alpine yeah i bet yeah i gotta stop listening to so much hip hop is the problem yeah you and easy e all these are those alpines i thought i thought you meant easy he's gotta stop listening hip hop too um wait we're talking about the car the car made me think of wheels wheels Wheels are good. Bikes. Wheels run the bus. Round and round. You can't reinvent the wheel.

No, yeah, that's true. You can try. The wheel of time. Keeps on turning. Turn to everything. Turn, turn. There is a season. Yes, Steve Miller.

The Steve Miller Band. Ah, he's coming out untoured. We got to hope for the Steve Miller band. Steve Miller is one of those artists where it's like, I know Fly Like an Eagle. I know The Joker. I know a bunch of random songs, but he doesn't have one sound.

I feel like from song to song, he's a whole different thing. I know. I don't know what his thing is. Pick a sound, Steve Miller. Cut on the pod and defend yourself. That kind of was Harry Nilsson's thing too. He's like a songwriting genius,

but every song was so different. Yeah. If one song is like, I can't live if living is without you and then you got lime and a coconut come on and the other song is like i can live without you baby i don't need you bitch harry you know what that reminds me of is when mark maron has been at this career for a long time you know he's been in the game for a long time yeah podcaster and you see early specials of him the early stuff he's got like long hair and then he's got short hair and he's got long hair again and i remember listening to his podcast a couple years ago and he said you know i think

that's why my career didn't really catch because i didn't have a consistent look well what about madonna she's a chameleon. Yeah, she reinvents herself every... God. Didn't she just recently have a sexy picture put out? Yes. And she's 64 years old. I'll tell you what happened with that. I was looking at that picture,

and then I looked away for a few minutes, looked back, she'd reinvented herself. Sometimes reinventing can bite you in the ass. He had a joke. I remember on Comedy Central, they would do that stand-up stand-up show. Remember that? It would just be little clips of stand-ups. He had a really funny joke that I liked like on Comedy Central, they would do that stand-up stand-up show. Remember that? It would just be like little clips of stand-ups. Yeah.

He had a really funny joke that I liked that was talking about, you know, people on the street who are like yelling at themselves. And he remember seeing

a guy being like, no, I can't. I can't. I can't? Can't to himself. And he was thinking, I think those people, maybe they actually

are talking to God and God is like, hey, I need you to be Jesus Christ. I need you to God and God is like, hey, I need you to be Jesus Christ. I need you to like be the second coming. No, I can't. Oh, yeah. That was Marc Maron?

Yeah. I know this bit from my dad telling me about it 20 years ago. No shit. I saw him on his stand up on Leno last night or something and he was doing this bit about I can't, I can't. Yeah, yeah. That was Marc Maron. A guy that I've collaborated with.

That's right. This business is wild, and that's why it's the Trinidad Sour Christmas special. Isn't that right, folks? Yep. My God. Ain't that just how it's going to have to go? Oh, Giuseppe, are you going to make any phone calls? Yeah, I'm looking at my phone here.

I'm not seeing a phone call. This is a real waiting for Godot, huh? Yeah, waiting for Gonzalo. Waiting for Giuseppe. I wouldn This is a real waiting for Godot, huh? Yeah, waiting for Gonzalo. Waiting for Giuseppe. I wouldn't mind waiting around for Gal Gadot, huh? Okay, I got a new campaign update from Indiegogo Fine Dining, the

short that you just directed, Jeff. That's a wrap. Hi all. Stopping by to let you know that last night we wrapped the production. Who sent that? Indiegogo did. Must have been Lil Mookie B himself. Peace and love from Mookie and Jeff. God, it went so well. I'm so thankful for everybody who

donated and supported. When did we get to see this film, Jeff? Tim, you know these things take a while. Oh, let me guess. A year? No, no, no, no. Okay, fine. Less than a year. A matter no okay fine less than a year a matter of months my boy matter of a month as one of the producers of this jeff i will say i do want to see uh rough cuts i want to see

fine cuts no cuts and everything in between that's right well and i've got you know uh my niece um she uh she dabbles in music she likes to sing. Maybe you find a spot for one of her songs in your production. Maybe you and her can come by to the edit bay, because you know what happens there. Well, I do. Well, I always say the edit bay is where the cuts come together. That's right. But you don't want to end up on that cutting room floor. That's the deleted scenes.

Hey, a couple of Trinidad Sours, I ended up on the cutting room floor. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, this drink's making me turn into unused film. What are you talking about? I'm on the cutting room floor. Yahoo! This drink is doing a trick, I'll tell you what. Yeah, it's pulling a real trick on me. All I had for lunch,

or all I had for dinner was that turkey sandwich I made. I had some tahini peanuts. Tahini? Did you make them yourself? I bought them. Bought them pre-tahined. No, I bought them already tahined. Brand name tahini peanuts.

Where? Cite your sources. What's tahini? What's tahini, Michael? It's that limey, limey, chili stuff. You put it on top of your micheladas, don't you, folks? Shake it on your fruit. Tim, do you ever go to the fruit cart?

You know what? I jog past that guy on Lowe's Fields Boulevard all the time, and then I say, God, I wish I could buy some fruit from you, but I'm jogging. Yeah. I can't go jogging away with a big coconut. Yeah. You should try it.

And they'll put a little tahini on there. They'll take the squeezer, put a little squeeze of lime on there. They're actually, I don't know if they're limes. They're different. They're like lemon. Key lime. Maybe that's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And so they chop up all that fruit. And you can say like, oh, I don't want coconut. Or you can tell them whatever. I want all of it. I just say, give me a L. And they squeeze that key lime on there. And they shake a bunch of tahini. And they toss it back and forth so it all gets gushed up.

It comes in the bag? Is that what it is? No, it's a big cup. It's like a 24-ounce plastic cup. And you just munch on that thing. I love that shit. And then at the end, you just drink this tahini fruit juice at the bottom. It's all like salty lime juice at the bottom, but some of the watermelon has dripped down.

Delectable. Oh, baby, it's Christmas time. That's nice. You know, that reminded me of, I always see that when I'm on a jog, but I don't have any cash on me when I'm jogging, of course. The other day, I went for a jog. Well, you could also do grass or ass. All I had was ass, and the guy wasn't taking it. Similarly, though, I finished up a jog the other day.

Just finished. Sweating, huffing and puffing. You felt great. I felt great. I felt, you know, oxidized and energized. But I was walking by my beloved pizza truck that I always eat at. Oh, Luna. You got to get your phones.

Next to the Albertsons on Hillhurst. And I was like, ooh, the truck's here. And I was like, well, I don't have my wallet. And then I was like, ooh, he takes Venmo, and I do have my phone. So I got a pizza. Without thinking, I was like, I'll take a margarita. And you know, he cooks it in like two minutes. And then I, like, there was no thought.

And he gave me the pizza. And then I was walking back. I was like, this was a job. Why am I eating the pizza? I did everything. I got back home and I was like, this was a 4,000 calorie job. Undid the job.

Going back out on a job. This gets canceled out the whole last hour of my life that's like my uh my early track career in high school i went to burger king and my track coach caught me and he said you know jeff uh yeah we frown on that here track the idea of scooting away from practice or just eating no like on a run it was just like you know i'm thinking you you you guys maybe do like an easy an easy three miles and i was like easy three miles and so uh on our jog for you to say me and my buddy mike i forget his last name it's a long time ago we saw burger king and he was like you thinking what i'm thinking and i said i won't tell if you don't tell and then so we ate

burgers and fries and then what happened what gave us away was the large Pepsi cups. And our coach was like, hey, guys. You didn't just go to Burger King, did you? Oh, sorry, coach. We said we wouldn't tell. How did you know? Well, we'll run extra fast tomorrow. To all the young runners out there, don't go to Burger King.

Don't, yeah, don't wh to burger king don't burger yeah don't whopper out oh i'll say this uh speaking of fast food yep fine dining we shot for three days they say uh you know there's breakfast on a lot of these shoots and we have a very professional shoot we added some some breakfast stuff nothing continental not like hot breakfast but continent but me i was just like you know what I just got to take care of myself. I'm going to lock down a fast food breakfast before I head to set. Smart. Wendy's.

Breakfast Baconator every day. Whoa. I wonder if you were taking two showers a day. Hey. I like that Wendy's breakfast. They got that. When we went on Doughboys, there was like a sweet biscuity one. Something had some syrup.

Yeah. Hey, I ate at all time the other day i got a turkey sandwich and they'd put maple syrup over the top of my sandwich and i got it over my hand over the top yeah and i picked it up with my hands like a fucking inside you fucking animals that's fucked up i uh on the way here i was at laguardia airport and i stopped early in the morning. I got myself a Wendy's, basically, an Egg McMuffin, basically. Sausage, egg, and biscuit. You do bacon or sausage?

This was a sausage. See, with breakfast bacon, I don't have to choose. They're both. They had that, too, and I should have gotten that. Anyway, I'm kicking myself now. It was so, the cheese was so like melty that you could hold the sandwich and the insides were like slipping out through the bread.

Like if I was holding the bread, the inside was just like slowly slipping down. I had to turn it the other way to keep it right in the middle. Eggs keep on slipping, slipping. Onto the floor. Floor of the airport. Floor of the airport.

Are we going to do final thoughts on the Trinidad Sour or what? Here on the Trinidad Sour's Christmas special? Yes, everybody's hobnobbing. The band is playing. People are swinging from their chandeliers here folks we should have gotten uh buble to come by you know we did it we talked about his album on the oh michael buble voice like an angel we talked about that the his album christmas the voice of the glendale americana that's true that's true and this is on the block uh all right i'll do

final thoughts i fucking love this drink yeah it's an A plus it's gold it is A plus and it's one of the reasons it's what is this podcast for if not for discovering the Trinidad sour and having a few laughs along the way celebrating the

spirit of Christmas yeah that's good too the birth of Christ ever hear of Joseph? Jesus' dad? Yeah. Oh, yes, yes. Not to mention his little girlfriend Mary.

Oh, yeah. You start with Joseph. Not to mention his little girlfriend Mary. Did they ever pork? I think after the fact, probably. After the fact. Yep. That was a real immaculate Yep He was probably like hey let's pork

To celebrate our number one son You know him You love him Jesus The Christ child My review of the drink 10 out of 10 A plus 5 stars

Best possible cocktail Innovative and interesting. It's all, it's the perfect balance. It's all you want. It's the type of thing you make for your friends and they go, what the hell is this? Where are you getting this from? And they're such a fancy guy now. And they whisper amongst each other, he's got a cocktail podcast.

He's got a cocktail podcast. No, they say he listens to a cocktail podcast. Yeah. Because if it's, you know, it's not us. He listens to it while they record. Yeah. Oh, no, no. This is what somebody said.

Yeah, somebody on the listeners. Oh, yeah, I know. If they make this. Okay. Anyway, 10 out of 10. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pure gold. Better than liquid gold, I would guess.

Ooh. Hey, you know what? We haven't done any drinks that have those gold flecks in it. Goldschlager? I guess that's the only thing is Goldschlager. But foods will often have, you know, fancy foods will have a little bit of gold leaf on there. Should we vow that in the new year we'll do that drink? A gold fleck to drink?

I'll tell you what. If you guys drink a lot of that gold stuff, I'm going to go digging through your piss. And I'm going to be rich, dude. And shit. This man is rich from piss and shit. I abide by the rules that what you drink goes in your piss, what you eat goes in your shit. And don't mix them up.

You're not pissing on corn, are you, Jeff? Well, that's why I don't drink boba. It's because I don't need those balls clogging up the works. I don't need a ball coming out my cock. Well, folks, we really did it this time. Merry Christmas. Yeah, Merry Christmas to you. I think it's okay to say at this point.

Yeah. Yeah, and happy holidays. Yes. But this is a Christmas Catholic special. We're honoring Joseph and his little girlfriend Mary. And the shepherds, too. And don't forget that North Star Gabriel. And the frankincense and the myrrh.

And the little drummer boy named Duddy. Jeff Dutton, that little drummer boy. Named Dutty. Jeff Dutton, that little drummer boy. He's not the best drummer. No, but he's there and he's got heart. And he wants to learn. Yeah, yeah. He wants to get better. Why don't they do a song about a little guitar boy?

Little Eddie Van Halen in the measure. That would be a really funny music video like not related to Christmas or anything but just like okay it's a rock band right and you're playing in a manger and there's hay everywhere and animals and just like do everything

all this sort of like religious symbolism but not really a comment hay in the manger that's funny to me I love the like is this religious Just symbolism, but not really a comment. Hey, hey, in the manger. That's funny to me. That's good. I love the, like, is this religious? Hey, hey, it's a manger.

People say we monkey around. People say it's filled with hay. We did have a song that we flirted with a Christmas album for a long time. Never did it. We've got songs. All talk. We've got demos. Yeah, yeah. And they're good. And've got songs. All talk. We've got demos. And they're good and they're funny.

Maybe next year, folks. Seems like something will be good on a Christmas special. You got your songs. You got two songs. They're happy. You know what's funny is I remember saying to you guys, we were talking about should we make a Christmas album or should we not? And then I said, let's wait until we're on a label.

Fast forward a few years years we haven't really come out with that album not on a label but we're podcasting super studs oh yeah that's kind of cool well a lot of stuff to think about yeah and use promo code Santa Claus

for a happy holiday season. Just in general? Just in general. Type it in. All right, folks. Use code Santa Claus. Type it in your search bar and see what comes up. I'm sure you'll see a jolly fat man.

Oh, yeah. Let's stick with New Year's. New Year's is universal. And, hey, isn't it kind of funny that we were hoping Giuseppe Gonzalez, creator of The Drink, would call in, but in the end we still just had such a fun time in the meantime. And we know he's out there somewhere having a good time himself. That's what we want. We don't want him to take time away from his life to call us. We want him out there creating

new brilliant drinks. And Giuseppe, if you're hearing this, come on the pod. We'll talk to you anytime. I'd love to create a drink with him. Defend yourself. The Trinidad Russian Root. Russian Root Sour. Shake upidad Russian root. Russian root sour.

Shake up a Russian root with some lemon. Speaking of sour, I know we're trying to end the pod. I know it. You guys are all looking at it. I can feel it. I've been doing whiskey sours like crazy out there. With egg? Yes, with egg at the Thirsty Crow.

They're fantastic. Yep, yep, yep, yep. If they do it with egg, have one of them be like, uh, Dutz sent me. Folks? Don't neg the egg. Anything else? Final thoughts, Mike?
