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. If you can hear me, then beer me. And Tim Kalpakis. What is up? Come on, that would be a good t-shirt that's a good if you can hear me then beer me

great on a shirt it's cause great on a shirt or an audio bumper sticker when Tim had some audio problems don't tell the listener about this well I gotta tell them where this is coming from that's private I mean it was some audio problems. And when he said, can you hear me? Don't tell the listener about this. Well, I got to tell you

where this is coming from. People love them. That's private. I mean, it was my audio problems. I said, can you hear me? Oh, yeah. If you can hear me, then bring me a beer.

On the topic of that, can you hear me, do you think it would be funny to do kind of like a sprint, a joke about the sprint guy? Yeah. Can you hear me now? Yeah.

Yep. Hey, he's not the sprint guy anymore. He's the... T-Mobile? Verizon? He's Verizon, I think. I think, yeah. He changed teams.

Guys, that would be great, though, if he then moved to Miller High Life and was saying, can you bear me now? That would be good. Why not? That would be good. It's good. We should be ad wizards. Do you remember when he lived at the Oakwoods, when we lived at the Oakwoods?

No shit. No. Yep. He's the most generic looking guy. He looks like every comedy writer, like middle-aged, kind of like Hollywood guy. Well, you could tell that they were sort of like, well, he was maybe pre-Fred Armisen, right? He sort of looks Armisen-y to me. Really?

I think that's a compliment to the sprint guy yeah when did those come out 2004 do you think we should do today's episode or should we just pause and sort of get to the bottom of the year that those commercials came out i don't know we probably we should with this one go ahead with what we had planned but maybe next episode we talk about the sprint guy some more and what we'd guess about him. Fair enough. Maybe it's a blowout. Whoa.

Hey, I have an idea. Can we just talk about it now? Yeah. Yeah. Can you talk about it now? I was at the store today gathering ingredients for our thing. The comedy store? No.

I was talking to Mitzi. store mitzi shore and um and you know what i i said to myself hey there's those uh bud light uh soda pops hard soda hard sodas and then hey there's the sours right next to them we should do do head-to-head eight flavors next week, baby. Yeah. Well, hold on. How high do we want our numbers to be? Because I'm worried our numbers might be too high if we do that. I feel like that's a great idea

and I can never find these fucking Bud Light Seltzer special ones ever. Anyway. We'll mail them to you like we did. Yeah, they'll explode and then you can look at the can. I smelled the can and talked about the can. But could you imagine

two flavor packs in one episode? My gosh. I'll tell you right now, hard soda's gonna win. Sour sounds stupid. Hard soda is a great idea. Oh, interesting. Interesting.

The slopheads have been telling us they're liking the hard sodas and the slopheads have been telling, I think some of them like the sours as well, so who knows? But, yeah, we should do it. You're a slophead, baby. Well, did that maybe accidentally get us into booze news? I don't know.

Yeah, dude. Oh, shit. Well, shall we get into some booze news? Hit it! I like that idea very much. Hit you with that, hit you with that Hit you with that, do-do-do-do-do Hit you with that, do-do-do-do-do

오우 I'm talking to you I'm talking to you We can't just play this stuff. We're going to get arrested. We're going to jail. We're commenting on it. We're going to get the fucking chair. Oh, Blackpink. I know this one. Let's not, you know, when this show gets bigger and bigger, we have to start using professional people to sort of produce the show.

Let's not change the booze news sound effect. Booze news. That was great. I loved it. K-pop booze news by Matthew Bozic. And if you have a booze news theme, email it to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com. He's kind of calling us out for the fact that we said we weren't going to

change it. And then the kind of the very hook of the whole thing is that we changedmail.com. He's kind of calling us out for the fact that we said we weren't going to change it. And then the kind of the very hook of the whole thing is that we changed it. Yeah, I guess it changes every time now. Well, let us, let us decide that. Bozeman. Bozik. Bozik. Bozik.

Bozo is more like it these days. Get in the Bozone. So that was, the first song was also Blackpink. Hit them with that do-do-do-do-do. There's lots of do-do-do-bip-bip

style K-pop songs. We'd be huge over there. We should tour there. I know. I'm trying. I'm talking to tour manager over there. He's like,

do you have the numbers? I said, just bring us over. I'll show you these guys. We'll audition for you. I've got the numbers? I said, just bring us over. I'll show you these guys. We'll audition for you. I've got the numbers. I just only have a hard copy. I need to show you face to face. So book the tour.

Book the tour. I'll tell you all about it. Okay. You guys ready for the top story of booze news? Yes. Sure. Have you heard of Bud Light Next? No.

No. Like Pepsi, from the makers of Pepsi Next? From the makers of Bud Light Next. No. No. Like from the makers of Pepsi Next? From the makers of Bud Light and from the word that was used in Pepsi Next. Bud Light is coming out with a zero-carbohydrate beer, folks. We're talking about 4% alcohol by volume, 80-calorie light beer.

They're upping the stakes on even the seltzers. This is not even one carbo to be found. What's the catch? Zero carbo. I love it. The catch is that when we taste it, we'll see if it has any taste, right? It's coming out any minute. It's not out just yet.

But I mean, 80 calories. So this is lighter. They're probably waiting for this booze news edition to drop just to really to really gin up the populace yeah they wanted to do make it a whole big slate you know i think that they're the other low carb beer is mick ultra but this is zero i think mick ultra has like 2.6 carbs do they they make any claims of, you know, don't ask why, try it, not your dad's beer, you know, light beer, this is better, this tastes better? Yeah, as of now, they're just saying, oh, actually, there's a little blurb here. Brewed for the 21 plus Gen Z audience. That's funny.

It's like Gen Z, but over 21. Yeah, but not the high school ones yeah gen z means you were born after 97 right so this is a very narrow margin post jurassic park we're talking about three a three-year window of people who this is targeted uh but like next is for the next era of beer drinkers by providing them an alternative beer that has the stats and sessionability of products they enjoy, such as seltzers and carriers on the legacy of the Bud, carries on the legacy of the Bud Night Nape. So they're saying they're coming for White Claw. I have a question. What does session mean?

Like a session IPA? You're asking the wrong two jag-offs. No, no. You're asking the right two. A brewing session had to take place. You ever have a big brewing session where you brew a bunch of beer? When you're done, there's a whole bunch of beer after? Yeah.

You look up and you're like, what did I do? No, no, no. A sessionable means like you can make a day of it oh really you know like superior drinkability you you can have a bunch of these and they're not going to weigh you down like crushable is kind of the same crushable yeah except like okay right now i'm looking at three crushable podcast hosts but that's that's a different kind um crunchable remember when we lived up at fredonia mike uh we used to um at the the liquor store down at the bottom of our hill but kind of between the the the baked potato and the salsa bar yeah there was a liquor store and the cheapest beer there that we bought a lot was called session

it was it was like banquet banquet bottle beers they looked like little red stripes yeah and we liked them but i what i remember best was that the the cardboard it came in it looked like it was like government issued beer it was just like a brown like a cardboard box full of beer bottles yeah yeah it's like like as if you know the someone in the midwest grew like there was too big of a hops harvest and then the government had to like buy the beer away from them to keep them in business like mres and then the little birthday boys were drinking it we tried to get government cheese at one point up at the stink house but it like they did that program

didn't exist anymore i guess that's like week one we were like okay we're now in la we gotta save our money let's get some government cheese i think the sad part is it wasn't week one it was like a couple years i was like i'll make it probably year 10 uh yeah government cheese seems like a thing that was discontinued by eisenhower sounds good though yeah give me some of that kind of well no i i yeah go ahead wrap it up there too maybe slob heads if if if you drink this beer let us know and then most importantly if you drink it and you become really slim and uh sexy let us know because that's what we're trying to do. I, at least, I don't mean to body shame you guys, but I'm trying to get skeletally thin.

Yeah. Well, I mean, we support you, I guess. We support that. Yeah, it's your choice. Whatever you want to do. Thank you. Yep. Well, that's it for Booze News.

Yes. Before we get into the episode, we breezed by shit chat, and I had some good shit chat. A funny thing that happened to me. It's all sort of shit chat. No, no, but there's a certain shit chat session. Okay. Speaking of sessions. So I took a little run today.

I went out for a jog. Okay, pre-fontaine. I'd like to... Huh? Pre-fontaine. I said okay, pre-fontaine. I wish. I wish I was running that fast out on the street.

Anyway, you know, you got to take a shower after you take a run because you're sweaty. So I did that. And then I was out of the bathroom. I was nude. Mike, take your time with this. No, this part. We'll gloss over that part. It's dry here in New York,

so I got myself some moisturizer. Dry heat, yeah. I was moisturizing my leg going all the way down to my foot, and I bent over. I bent over and my butt, my exposed ass touched the heater in the bathroom. And I let out a yelp.

I've heard about this. The Brooklyn Yelp. Everyone's been talking about it. This is the sort of thing that happens to, like, you know, Goofy or Donald. I know. I was expecting that. But it felt like a fun story to tell you guys. How to shower.

Yelp. Now, Mike, was it a cheek or the hole the cheek man yeah figured it was the out you got a branding huh yeah i don't well hopefully it doesn't leave too much of a mark but we'll see because that thing's your money maker yeah yeah do you have any hip-hop video shoots coming up that you have to worry about let me see I do but I'm wearing a full lycra body suit so that should be fine

unless there's any rays burning and scarring but I'm sure they can touch that up digitally so there you go very good that's what's happening over here now the shit chat is done unless you guys had shit chat. I had some, but I want to keep the show moving. Yeah.

Good call. Oh, Tim, that's great. Very smart. Good hosting. Because I have that kind of a producer brain, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like Lauren. Well, hey, did anyone decide to be the one to present this drink?

I thought we were going with you because it's your fave. Me? Yes. present this drink i you're going with you because it's your fave me yes i when we got off last week's episode i said jeff you just volunteered yourself to present okay well maybe this week we'll do a sort of a this is a fucking apocalypse now style travesty no no it's a train wreck it's a new one if you looked up if you can read the wikipedia even i know it i know it no no yes It's a train wreck. It's a new one, too. If you looked up, you can read the Wikipedia even. I know it. I know it. No, no. Yes, it's fucking.

No, you don't. It's from Milk and Honey. Yeah, Sam Ross, right? New York, like 2007, Sam Ross, bartender for Sasha Petraski. And me and Mike tried it because we went to Attaboy. Milk and Honey is now Attaboy And we tasted it And I think that's the history of it

Well Tim I I got a you did a great job But I got a dingy on this one 2005 2005 Four seven but Nailed it so Named hinting at the Medic medicinal properties of some of the ingredients.

You know, you got your lemon, you got your honey. Those are what you have when, and ginger, when you got a cold. You know, like named it the penicillin. Very good. And I had my first one at the mess hall here, and I've had them everywhere else since because I fell in love with them. Yeah, you love them. Yeah, I've had that mess.

I think the mess hall was the first time I had it. Then we had the Attaboy one, and it was bomb. And you know what? You're talking about those ingredients. Remember during COVID, like first wave, proper COVID, I was taking these online cocktail making classes. It was called Spirit Guides. These guys who I think kind of came out of the varnish

scene in downtown la they're like they're bartenders and they do online cocktail classes with a little bit of a sketch comedy bent to it very fun that's fun anyway they tended to arrange their classes where they would teach you like a classic and then the modern spin on it. And I remember that the week they did the penicillin, the classic was a drink called the Gold Rush, which is basically just a whiskey sour with honey instead of sugar. That makes sense. Yeah.

So I think that Sam Ross was starting with the Gold Rush and then added the ginger. Dang. Well, I'm going to read the ingredients. Please. And the method and the garnish. Love it. Here we go.

60 milliliters blended scotch whiskey. For this one, we're just going Dewars, Tim. We got a 12-year, which is maybe one step up from the basement. Now, Dewars is the whiskey that John Favreau orders in Swingers. Continue. They wanted a 16-year, right? Well, no, that's 7.5 milliliters Lagavulin 16-year whiskey. Now, that's a pricey one.

I went to Cap and Cork, and they suggested the famous Grouse Smoky Black. He said you just want something good with a smoky, peaty flavor. Yeah, at my place, I'm saying, I showed him the, I couldn't pronounce it, so I was like, this word right here. And he said, well, here you go, and it's expensive, like a hundred bucks. I said, that's not going to work for us. He said, well, you know what you do? You get something else. I got Ardbeg.

Oh, yeah. Ardbeg. Ardbeg. Looks, yeah. Ardbeg. Ardbeg. Looks great. Even that was not cheap, right? Yeah, it was about half. Right, and you can't really get a little baby nip of scotch, especially if you want some 17-year single malt.

Now, this is going to be that peaty, it's going to smell like a Sharpie, right? Like a Band-Aid or whatever. I think it's going to be like a Band-Aid. peaty like it's gonna smell like a sharpie right like a band-aid like a band-aid um in that uh spirit guides class for the what was it lagavin the fancy stuff lagavulin you know what they sent us because you take the class but they ship you all the ingredients for the little topper the floater they sent us like a little spritz bottle like like a thin, like almost like a thin perfume sample. Yeah. And you just go. That's what they do at Mess Hall. Oh.

It's in a spritz. But us, what we're doing here is like. Aperol spritz. Seven, how much is it? It's a quarter ounce floater on top. Let me just motor through the rest of the ingredients.

We said that we covered the 60 mil of the just blended Scotch whiskey, 7.5 mil of the Lagavulin or whatever, your smoky peaty stuff. 22.5 of fresh Joie de Lemon. Love it. And 22.5 honey syrup. Now, Mike, I know you got to jump on that as did I, making actual honey syrup. Made the honey syrup.

It's one-to-one. You just boil it. You heat it up and make sure all the, just get a little loose. Well, a one-to-one honey and water. Did I say that? Yes. And then two to three quarter size sliced fresh ginger. Great.

Beautiful. What we're going to want to do is muddle fresh ginger in a shaker and add the remaining ingredients. Perfect. Except for the single malt whiskey. Fill the shaker and add the remaining ingredients except for the single malt whiskey fill the shaker with ice and shake double strain don't know what that means into a chilled old-fashioned glass with ice float the single malt whiskey on top garnish with candied ginger yeah what's double strain mean what's double strain tea well you strain it once you

know that right but then well you strain it again huh that's it who's got the means here's what you do um you when you're pouring it you just pull your t-shirt out over your glass and then pour it right through the fabric and that'll double strain it oh straining it through two strain i see what this maybe go back and forth go through your hawthorne twice. Maybe. The picture I'm seeing is it's like in a shaker straining with a Hawthorne and then going through a little

mesh strainer. Oh, I have one of those. Like a metal net. Lucky duck. Yeah, metal net. See, that seems unnecessary. I don't know what, what could be in there. That's so,

uh, chunky. Oh, speaking of chunky, um, and no jokes about my body type. Um, I was going to say,

do you remember? What the hell? Never. A few months ago, um, we, we had to warm up some milk for, I believe the Tom and Jerry or something like that.

And I poured milk right into my – I had like one of those – Hot pan? Yeah, like a tea kettle that you plug into the wall. Oh, right. And I put milk in that and I boiled it and I turned it into cottage cheese. Well, I – and let's just say I was roasted on Twitter for my sins. Um, but just now I was making my honey syrup, which is basically, you just doing that for manageability, you know, it just makes it so you can squirt it out easier.

But I was prepping and when I went into, I thought I had cleaned out that, that pot, but it had dark black milk cooked onto the bottom of it. That's got to be mold, right? No, because I had washed it and I had run it through the washer and stuff, but it still had like tar on the bottom and it took me

forever to get it out. And I didn't get all of it out, so my honey syrup may have a little cooked milk flavor. Dude, damn. I, so my honey syrup may have a little cooked milk flavor. Dude, damn. I will say the honey syrup for squirtability, but also like for stirrability, or else the honey would just be all gobbed on the bottom. Yeah. So says I.

I think if you're a bartender, you fill up a big squirt bottle with the honey syrup so you can... So you can... Bartenders would do a lot of what I'm doing here a little differently. fill up a big squirt bottle with the honey syrup so you can... So you can... Bartenders would do a lot of what I'm doing here a little differently. Hey, speaking of bartenders, Mike, you have met the creator of this drink. That's right! Sam Ross! I went

to his new bar, I knew-ish bar, Temple Bar, and it was very cool, very cool ambiance. Very dark, a lot of wood paneling he was there i was with jack schramm they introduced uh schramer introduced me and uh i told him i uh do a podcast we took a picture posted online that's how it goes you know what's weird he also invented the paper plane and the fucking week we did that on the podcast we went

to chicago and we were a block. We did a show in Chicago that was a block away from Violet Hour, the bar where he invented it and where that drink is from. And we didn't even walk the one block over. Damn. Fucking we lost our touch, man. Damn. Yeah, we lost our touch. Damn.

Damn, Daniel. Well, do we do it? Yeah. We do it to it. I'm about ready to do it. Well, I wouldn't mind hearing a few commercials first. Oh, perfect. Oh, yeah, sure.

Yeah. Enjoy these words from our sponsors. Tim's probably dealing with some more old milk. You can't get away from that stuff. I hope he doesn't. He's just got to always be dealing with old milk. I hope he doesn't look he's just gonna always be dealing with old milk are you singing what a song is that it's called Be My Lover

Who's it by? LaBouche LaBouche Is it LaBouche? Come on LaBouche Is that also the one that has Just another night, another picture of you Is it those like

I talk, talk I talk to you That's In the night of my dreams I've been down for you And I feel a little like a lover I feel good, I feel great I feel

That's also one where I think I don't have the words right But Damn, it's pretty good to That's Another Night By Not Another Dream Not Another Dream? No Not Another Dream Oh, Real McCoy That's another night Bye Not another dream Not another dream?

Oh, Real McCoy Now those are some junior high bangers The vision of love That seems to be true The T-Man Tim comes back with a new hat Let's get into it, huh? And we're back How'd your jumbled string go? Tim comes back with a new hat. Yeah, the hat is on. Let's get into it, huh? Yes.

And we're back. We're back. How'd your double strain go? Because I was straining, and then the drink kind of came out the sides and splashed onto my counter. Because I was... Oh. I overstrained. I double strained with the strainer on the top of the shaker, and then the wire strainer I was talking about.

And I realized how important that was because of all the ginger chunks. That's the whole point, right? I think I have some ginger pulp in mine. Hey, lesson learned. Yes. I'll never make that mistake again. Yes. I feel like in the past I've probably,

I don't know if I've had the real muddled ginger version of this we've probably had like bundaberg bastardizations right look at you you got a big big thing going on there mine's not that uh well the thing up top is is is the candy ginger garnish yes yes yeah uh by the way pain in the ass to find i uh they had it at lasson's but i went to cap and cork and the grocery store and smart and final and i finally founded it candy ginger you mean lasson's yeah you know what i've used instead of this some once i used kind of like um haribo uh ginger candies but the problem with those is like i put them as a cocktail garnish and when they touched the cold drink they got rock hard the way that like a gummy bear would get rock hard

and only a gummy bear my teeth bit down into it i had one of those situations where i said hey what you don't want to do what you don't want to do is get gin gins. You guys ever had gin gins? Yeah, what is that? They're like little putty sticky globs. I've had that on a ferry boat to help counteract motion sickness. Oh shit. Well, I twice have gotten them thinking that, hey, when I open

these up, there will be candy ginger inside and there's not. It's like silly putty. Yeah, it's like a scum. Okay, all the guys, all the ice cubes in my drink are melting. Okay, let's go. Uh-oh. There shouldn't be ice cubes in it, right? No, there should be.

Oh, I didn't think. No, really? Double strain into a chilled old-fashioned glass with ice. I just did the one big cube. I know. Hold on. Let me get a big cube. Yeah, go get some cubes.

Damn it. Go ahead. You know, I got one of those. Here's the thing, Jeff. I fear that I over muddled. Do you fear that you over muddled? I smashed the shit out of mine. I'm just worried that what I have here is a spicy

paste. Oh, I didn't go that far. But I did think it was hard to calculate two to three quarter size sliced fresh ginger. Like I did kind of chunks, like pretty much my thumb size, like a little smaller than my thumb. I did quarter size. And just to make sure it was correct, I went to a local arcade and saw if they would work. And they plopped them right in.

And I beat Cruisin' USA. Hey, all right. Very nice. I got my big thing in there. All right, great. Bottoms up. Bottoms up. Ooh, stanky.

Mmm! Almost painfully enjoying it over there. I was afraid that I had a pulpy slop, but no, this is delicious. Yeah. Oh, it's just as I had hoped. Yes, yes. I know I've had one of these at Attaboy. I was

not in the right state at that point to be judging drinks. And I've had maybe a sip of yours, Jeff, at Mess Hall. But this is a very refreshing... I would almost say I've had maybe a sip of yours, Jeff, at Mess Hall. But this is a very refreshing. I would almost say I've heard never had. I would say that probably before.

Very refreshing in a weird way. This is really very good. I was a little spooked because of last week's Mezcal cocktail. You know, the smokiness was overpowering on that one. Yeah, this has some smokiness to it. For whatever reason. Wait a second. I forgot to float my floater.

I'll be back. Holy jeez. Tim, I did that too and I caught it. Oh my gosh. That's the problem. That's how it goes. Too many steps. Too many steps.

Well, there's too many things called the same thing. Scotch, two types of scotch. And we're not used to the floaters. Two strains? Two scotches, two strains? Two strains. Two scotches, two strains. Okay, so I guess the deal is

anytime there's two scotches, you use two strains. That's just sort of the deal we'll make sure to get tim's take on that when he gets back yeah fellas you ever you ever forget to float your floater hey we found the confusion tim two scotches two strains oh that's the that's what we finally got down to while you were away. Yeah. If you reduce that fraction two over two, I guess it's one strain. But it doesn't radically change the... No, you know, when I've had this drink before, that smoky scotch does um does affect the smell at least but mine is so gingery plus i've got the ginger garnish that that really didn't do anything i'll say the mess

hall one where i was expecting it to have even more ginger burn i got and i'm kind of wishing i had a little more ginger burn you're saying you got it tim i've got it i'll you know scotch is is rare in cocktails there's only like a handful of popular scotch cocktails and yeah with this drink i was like interesting scotch i wonder if i'll like that as much as bourbon but it it does work and then my mine is so gingery that i'm really not even tasting the scotch even though scotch is an aggressive flavor i'm tasting that pd that pd scotch pdf and i don't really know what the other scotch is an aggressive flavor. I'm tasting that Petey Scotch. PDF? And I don't really know what the other scotch was,

how it tastes. It was called, I think Politician? It was called? The guy said it was a good one. And decently priced. Fairly priced. Why is this so smooth? Just honey and lemon?

I think everything's in perfect measure. Is this better, Jeff, than you've had at a bar? I mean, it's really very good. Next time for round two, I'm going to put more ginger in there, though, and really muddle. Because I want that sweet sting. I want it to get up into my sinuses a little bit. See that you do. Okay. Cool that you do. Okay.

Very cool. That's good. It's fun. And I, and I kind of have the medicinal properties. I'm feeling them. Damn. I'm jealous.

I'm getting a little honey. So you open up your nose. Now you made yourself a little paste out of all that ginger. Tim, I muddled with the back of a wooden spoon and I just really fucking crushed it. Crushed it. You muddled with the best of it.

Well, it's funny because muddling, remember the muddling the mint wasn't, it was just like a couple taps. I feel like I really crushed it up. Now I even have a muddler like a wood, a little wood bat. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I've seen seen it and i was stabbing at it and they were just sort of bouncing off of it and i really had to kind of like

coax the ginger into the corner and like squeeze it down and stuff yeah i gotta come up with just a better method oh there's a method to the madness yeah it's true for right now though it's come to it's come to that very special time where i'm gonna take my first bite of the garnish oh i'm excited oh yeah i just did a whole thing yeah it's good yeah reeds these are reeds uh candy ginger the same company that makes the ginger beer the jamaican ginger beer yeah yeah yeah i love that chip it's interesting that ginger Fresh ginger like the root we were just using You wouldn't want to put that in your mouth And chew it It's a root and it's spicy

But this candy ginger is just that But it's been like sitting in sugar for a hundred years And it's sort of turned into candy Well you ever eat sushi with Jeff You can always count on A mound of ginger that he will not eat and you take it for your own. To the dome? But he likes

the candy. Michael, we've talked about revealing my weaknesses on the pod. You see that as a fatal flaw? I learned, you know, I was today years old when I learned that ginger with sushi, it's really a palate cleanser you bite between pieces um you're not really supposed to lay the top yeah or don't bite at all yep well

you gotta bite because it's so good it makes it good for you ginge me baby when did you first hear of the word ginger used to describe a little redhead kid? Because I first heard it on South Park. Yeah, me too. Me three. I wonder if they invented that or I just wasn't privy to the ginger thing because I'm not one. Also, ginger isn't red. That is a funny.

It's sort of brown. Oh, ginger the root, you mean? It's like a brown thing. Well, you know, I'm enjoying this. When we first... I didn't think I was going to. When we first said we're doing the penicillin, I said, okay, it's a necessary evil.

I know it's a popular drink. Let's do it. It's a necessary evil. So kind of, yeah. I also said, you know, Mike, you're allergic to penicillin. Me too. there you go really

so I said this is not going to be good for me I'm both of your emergency contacts I'm supposed to know this stuff and we uh now we've given out the kryptonite for the sloppy boys shoot us up with penicillin ginger and two penicillins.

Shit. Jeff, should we delete that? Oh my god. Mike, what happens to you when I was a little dude, I had some penicillin, or actually it was amoxicillin, but all the cillins are the same, and it made my whole body break out

into blotchy hives, and I went up to my parents and I was like, hey, my skin looks like countries. Meaning like I look like a map because of the blotches. And then the doctor said it was the amoxicillin and I can't take any sillins. So even though your life's online, you're still cracking jokes, Tim. I love that. I don't think I was trying to be funny. It's more that I'm kind of a cartographer at heart. Yeah, you're sort of jokes, Tim. I love that. I don't think I was trying to be funny. It's more that I'm kind of a cartographer

at heart. Yeah, you're sort of like, look at me. Countries, provinces, and counties all the same. This is serving Vespucci vibes. Queen and king. Queen

and king. And king. No, I think I was a little baby when it was found out i wasn't even like uh old enough to know to react verbally so i wrote it down you wrote a book about it there's a life and times of me. A dorko. Being itchy after that shot. Hey, hold on a second. Were you guys talking about the penicillin cocktail?

Yeah. Just now? A while ago. That's invented in New York, right? Yeah. Yeah. If what Jeff said was true, yes. Oh, yeah. Well, I...

Is that okay? Well, yeah. No, I'm just saying, I remember we went to the place where they rented and we had them. They were good and it was good to go to New York,

but I was just remembering my major faux pas when... Why is your voice... You're sort of... The way you're talking is sort of stilted and... So troubled. It and different now? I'm distressed.

Distressed, okay. I just heard this voice before from you, but okay. It's just that I'm reliving trauma right now. Because I'm remembering that when I first heard about this cocktail, I should have gone to New York to have one, but did I tell you by the time I got on a plane and went to las vegas to have one of these no no no why would you go to las vegas for one of these i don't know but i went i went to vegas i walk up to the nearest watering hole and i said to the bartender you know can i have a penicillin

and he was like okay those were invented in new york but i'll i'll see what i could do and he he he looked at me hold on jeff you go you get these a lot at mess hall which is in los angeles do they sort of have that trepidation okay it was made in new york but i do sort of recommend that you get anything where it was invented yeah okay it gives them pause but but here's the thing though guys where you are can influence who's around you, right? That's true. So I was talking to this bartender, and he's like, yeah, I think I know penicillin. It's got scotch, two types of scotch, yeah.

And then I was like, yeah, I think it's got honey syrup, yeah, yeah. And he said, oh, lemon. And then we were listing them off. And there was one ingredient. We're pretty close. And there was just this one final ingredient we couldn't think of. And it sucked because we were like, couldn't think of it. That sucks, dude. That sucks.

Here's where things take a good turn, though. I turn around. Who's behind me? Imagine Dragons. Get the hell out of here, Imagine Dragons. They live in Las Vegas. They're from Las Vegas, you know, those guys. Wow.

They're a Las Vegas band. I mean, originally Utah, sure, but they're really known as a Las Vegas band. So I said, guys. Thank God you're here, probably. What up, you know? Yeah. They're like, you live live here you're from here and they're like uh yeah well we heard your conversation and i was like yeah well what do you think you know and they say yeah well i'm glad you asked because i recorded

it on my phone and here's what they said. I was hoping you'd say that. Here we go. Good, good, good. Just a small root with a big taste. Kind of spicy. Makes a nice tea. It comes with sushi and sashimi.

And also in Canada dry. Chop it up and shave it up and make the bread. Make the man, make the house. Eat the snaps and drink the Schweppes and I like eat the ginger. Ginger. Ginger.

Ginger. Ginger. Taste the ginger. Me like taste the ginger Me like either ginger Ginger, taste the ginger Me like either ginger Yeah. Wow.

Oh, man, that's great. Thank God they were there. Yeah. That's so cool. Cool, man. You know, it's funny. I thought, and they were just there without their, it was just the band, right?

It was just the band, yeah. Well, because it sounds like their song, Thunder with a Thunder. Oh. But I always thought that high-pitched, stuttering voice was like some type of audio plug-in something. Oh, yeah. One of the guys sings like that he sings

like that okay oh man wow oh the other guys give him shit for it yeah well they're they're probably old vegas buddies yeah yeah and how many dudes are in imagine how many how many people was this uh were there four i think i want to say four guys. Probably four. Yeah, it's unclear. And these guys are famous. This is a big deal. Yeah. Yeah, that is a big deal.

That is a huge deal. But you found it. You figured it out. So how did you end up making the drink? Or the bartender made the drink? Yeah, we made the drink, and it was good. But still, I guess, as I mentioned earlier, I kind of lament the whole experience,

because I should have just gone to New York to have it. But yeah. It was Imagine Dragons like, why are you here to drink this? Yeah. And I said, hey, what happens here stays here. They're like, oh, yes, that's true. You should you should be drinking a Snake Eyes Manhattan. Yeah, I should.

It's a Manhattan with dice in it. I was going to say, why is it a Vegas? Oh, okay. The dice. Okay. Dice is big in Vegas. It's still a Manhattan. It's a Manhattan drink with dice in it.

Yeah. Yeah. We put a little dice in it. Right. This one has dice. Oh, Andrew Dice Clay probably did some shows there at some point. They got a lot of comedy. Maybe.

And the ones are facing up. That's right. Like the lot of comedy. Maybe. And the ones are facing up. That's right. Like the eyes of a snock. What accent is that? Snock. Alright, Jeff, take us out. Let's go make a second round.

Folks, we'll see you right after these messages. And we're back with our final thoughts on the delicious... When you're saying thought, you're not spelling that T-H-O-T, are you? No, no, no. Yeah. Michael. Are you doing a thought squat while you say it? No, Tim.

No. I'm sitting upright. Thank you. Are you doing a thought squat while you say it? No, Tim. No! I'm sitting upright. Thank you. And I mean it with all my heart. Good. That I am glad with. What do you think about it? I'll start.

I'm happy with this. I'm very happy with this. It is an order again for me. And again and again? When I'm in the mood, though. When I'm in the mood. So you'd say appointment only? No.

Appointment encouraged. Because the mood could strike me at any time. You could be driving your car. And I have to stop, pull over. You could be waking up in the morning. I'm in a mood for a penicillin. Sometimes you wake up in the morning, your your hands a little shaky and you say what maybe a cocktail

would be nice here's the thing I just did round two and I really mashed up that fucking ginger into a puree was it a pain to strain yeah pain to strain album four

but it has that quality I wanted that nostril sting yeah oh good that's what you're looking for that's what i was missing that was the only thing i was missing the first time this is a five star drink for the jay man that's yeah baby i love it i'll order it again i'll make it again i probably don't want to always have the grandeur of the two types of scotch and stuff, but I would make this with a little Seagram 7 or something. Who gives a fuck? And do you need the

16 year or do you need the peaty shit on top? Or are you just okay with a little bit of scotch or a little whiskey? I think you're okay. Maybe anything smoky, put a little charcoal brickette up there. Maybe take an American spirit and just like sprinkle a little tobacco on the top.

But this, I'm getting the name. I know it's like a winky jokey penicillin name, but there is something nice in the winter. I would say if you've had too many hot toddies this winter and you're trying to uh switch things up have one of these it's nice spicy nicey medicinal slicey you know but it also feels like the lemon and the ginger makes it feel like a uh a fucking uh spring it's year round yeah yeah because ginger is also like you know like like a dark and stormy is a fun summery treat. Yeah, that's true. Hey, when people drink scotch,

like now with this peaty scotch I got. Yeah, well, like what... Yeah, scotch, scotch, scotch. Drink it all, scotch. I love that. Milk was a bad choice. Mike, take it away. Hey, yes. Yes. Baxter, my little gentleman. Wh vagina keep going that's

right uh fuck you san diego don't put any don't put anything you will read everything on the prompter word for word yeah poop mouth the i love lamp that's what we wanted to do. Yes. I love lamp with barbecue sauce. You got the peaty stuff. How do I drink that? I put it over a big thick ice cube and then put an ounce in and sip it? That's what I do. Scotch guys just do it neat. Peaty, needy.

Ah. I like it on a big cube. Here's the thing. Yeah. We're not cut out for scotch. I'm going to call it right now because it's the grandpa's stuff and it's expensive yeah and it's stanky now and you're saying that we're three little twinks that can't handle it yeah that's exactly what i'm saying okay fair enough now uh i have a you know you know because of the pot i have a we all have a formidable liquor cabinet sure and i took a picture of it

and i sent it to my whiskey friend and he said cool where's the scotch and i looked around and i had probably 40 bottles of liquor no scotch yeah i mean maybe it's good that there's not a lot of scotch in cocktails maybe we got off easy on this one yeah and i, Scotch is, it's a whole thing. It's one of the, when we talk about demystifying drinks for each other, you know, and I think there were three dudes that didn't know too much about cocktails when we started off the pod and we don't like the- Says the guy who knew the penicillin history of this dome. That's kind of true. Maybe I am steeped in its tradition um i think that uh you know i don't like this stuff that is exclusionary so anyone out there twiddling

your little waxy mustaches we love if you have knowledge but we want you to welcome us in and i feel like scotch is kind of the old guard sort of like, stay away. You're getting this wrong. Yeah. But I really don't know shit. A few Christmases ago, I was like, I think I'm going to drink some scotch. So I went to the liquor store and I bought, I was like, what do I buy? And I saw Cuddy Sark. And I was like, ooh, I recognize that from being stolen off a truck in Goodfellas.

So I'm going to buy Cuddy Sark. It's a good looking label. And then later that night, a friend who works at a bar was like, oh, Cuddy Sark. Yeah, we do. That's like at our bar. That's a challenge to drink that stuff. It's like a joke and we dare each other. See, so really there's too many layers of shit talkers and gatekeepers and stuff with

the scotch. Well, you know, the thing about scotch is you give me any 16-year-old oak barrel scotch and a good Corona, I am happy. And a good Corona? Cuban Corona cigar. Okay. We did a whole blowout on cigars I thought maybe you would know Hey, you know, did you guys Earlier I mentioned penicillin

Oh, I did hear you say that That's sort of a part of a health Thing of mine I guess Maybe you guys are ready for the Jeff put a nice echo on this The Health of Hanford quiz. Well, as your aforementioned emergency contact, I hope I have the leg up here.

I know. I hope so, too. Health of Hanford. Okay. I'm putting the scoreboard together. I'm a little kind of out of practice on my Health of Hanford. This is a quiz about my physical health. Oh, man.

Okay. This is good. I think I'm good. You might know some of these things. Okay. Question one. My physical health. After getting category five high blood pressure results several times in one day,

After getting category five high blood pressure results several times in one day, what nickname did I receive from a nurse with poor... The blood pressure guy. The blood pressure guy. Whispered in the hallway by the nurse. The blood pressure guy is back. A nurse with poor bedside manner. Question two. I was playing in a hockey game in my junior year of high school.

What happened to my ear? Slash his ear That was Tim with ear cut off Get the fuck out of here I was going to scream ear But I wanted to hear you finish the sentence I let you finish that out of respect There's no respect here It's a Rodney Dangerfield style quiz

Come on now I transferred to Ithaca College my sophomore year of college With what broken appendage? Ankle Leg Leg Yep Leg

Yes, I had a cast on my leg I had broken it skateboarding The tendon ripped part of the bone off and that was right after you you landed a 720 right uh yeah yeah that's the uh print the myth tim i guess i just don't see like physical flaws like that okay go ahead oh yeah true or false i grind my teeth in my sleep true that's true jeff of course we all do um it's true i do too mike and dr abrams gave me a mouth guard do you have one of those i have one as well i i kind of forget to watch it so my fucking guy hasn't given me a mouth guard i went in for 10 fittings and i have never

used it i'm not gonna put in a mouth guard at night i just fall asleep you gotta grind your teeth well a lot of times i kind of fall asleep drunk at a bar so how am i gonna put in a mouth guard you know yeah i i get i always get the can we talk about the grinding of the teeth thing because my doctor is my dentist is always like jeff you grind your teeth but it's at night so i'm like you gotta talk to the other that's not me you gotta talk to the other guy i don't know how to get in touch with him. Do you wear a mouthguard? No. It's a Jekyll and Hyde situation. Do you think it's because you're having dreams about your

podcast co-hosts and you're grinning your teeth because they're not listening? They're not adhering to the format. He's probably being coy about getting you to get a mouthguard. Okay, question number five. Aside from penicillin, aside from a penicillin allergy,

what other allergy was I diagnosed with and cured of? I heard B from Tim. What the fuck? Yeah, because you went to Dr. on my end. Mike, you went to Dr. Aitchis, and in the waiting room, you met Jeff Richards. These are all very good bonus thoughts, Tim, but there is another bonus question I have to ask in this realm. I had that one.

Bonus question. That was lag. Okay. Well, you could pick a lot of points up here, Jeff, with the bonus. Okay, great. Because it's worth, I'll tell you after. with the bonus. Okay, great.

Because it's worth, I'll tell you after. The nurse who administered my B shots had a picture of her and the other female employees in the office celebrating Halloween, like in the office,

hung up in her work area while every other person in the photo was dressed in a quote unquote sexy costume. There was a black cat, a punk rocker,

a playboy bunny. What was my Shot nurse Dressed as Spider-man Pumpkin Ghost No

Ghost is probably close A fried egg She was dressed as a fried egg Okay ghost is close I see how this has to do with your health, too. Yeah. He was getting a shot. Well, that's a bonus.

That's bonus. Oh, okay, okay, okay. And Jeff, because you got egg, I mean, you got ghost, which is kind of fried egg-like, that's worth two bonus points because this was a four bonus point question. Wow. Here we go. Okay. Question number, I don't know. How much do I weigh? Oh, my God. Wow. Here we go. Okay. Question number, I don't know.

How much do I weigh? Oh, my God. No way. 178. Now, do I get points for being more flattering? Yeah, really? Jeez. I will give Jeff a point.

That's because I didn't hear no way. I'm not fat shaming. I weigh 207 pounds. 178. I weigh 176. I weighed myself before I burned my ass on the pipe. There we go. Maybe if you dropped some LBs,

your ass wouldn't be reaching the fucking pipe. Swing my fat ass around the bathroom, knock it over all my clothes. Stop backing that thing up. Beep, beep. All right. Here's another one. I believe Zycam.

You know what Zycam is? Yes. Yes. I believe Zycam works to lessen a cold. I believe that. I believe it works for me. Yes, true. What administration style of Zycam do I prefer?

Nasal spray. Nasal spray. What did you say, Tim? I did a joke one. I said up the butt. Nope. I'm not taking joke ones. It's my health. Lozenge. Nope. I'm not taking joke ones. It's my health.

Lozenge. Nope. No fucking nasal spray. I've seen you do it. You're close, Jeff. I've seen you do it. Well, you're close. It's not spray. Inhaler.

Jeff. Nasal swab? Squirt. That's right, Jeffy. Oh, the little sticks, kind of. Okay, Jeff is now winning. Winning. Because of the bonus points and the flattery points. I. Okay, Jeff is now winning. Winning. Because of the bonus points and the flattery points.

I don't know how that all worked. I think it's unfair that I get called out for fat shaming you when you chose to put in a question about your weight. I know. Look, I know. I agree with you. I know, but that's how it is. I don't write these.

This is not a question. I didn't write these questions.. I don't write these. This is not a question. I didn't write these questions. This was on a online thing. This is WebMD. This is Cosmo. Because I think that Jeff guessed 16 pounds lower than your weight. I was right to scoff at him. If he would have said 174, I wouldn't have scoffed.

He didn't. Now, Tim, you do have what's known in the Health of Hanford quiz, a pocket point. Do you want to use your pocket point? Hold on. What? For those of us not familiar with just the whole realm of the Health of Hanford quiz, what is a pocket point? It's like pocket pool.

A pocket point is you got a point in your back pocket. Ah. And you can choose to take that point out and use it, lay it on the line before we get to the very last question, or you can keep that pocket point right in the pocket. And nobody knows how it got there. It's just there. I haven't.

Yeah, one of you guys had a pocket point, and Tim, I'm seeing on the sheet, Tim had a pocket point. I arrived with it. Do we know the exchange rate of a pocket point? Is it one to one? Pocket's a one to one in the health of Hanford. Okay, and what is the score right now? The score is Jeff has five, you have four.

How did Jeff come from behind? I feel like I was on a fucking tear. Well, I got two of those points. You were on a tear. He had two bonus points and a flattery point. Jesus, I am- And then you just flat out got two of them. One of which really someone had to coax it out of him.

But he got it. Yeah. God, in moments like this, I'm really grateful that I have a pocket point. Yes, I do want to use it. Tim is using the pocket point. Hold on. I have to sign off on that. Okay, good.

That is official. It's in. All right right here's the last question the winner whoever gets this question wins the health of Hedvard what was the name of my pre dr. Abrams era dentist Gasparian dr. Gasparian I knew it was right there I was thinking of daggermangian Oh, Jefferson. I knew it was right there. I was thinking of Dagermanjian.

Nope, Dr. Jasir Gasparian. He gave me a root canal that I was worried about. He didn't explain it at all, and he just did it flawlessly. No pain at all. Wow. That's amazing. That's kind of the classic feared surgery. He surprised me with it.

He was like, we got to do a root canal. I said, oh, shit, that sucks. And he's like, yeah, I got you. Now, Mike, how much was it? Do you remember? The price? Because, yeah. Oh, 20,000, 30,000?

No, I don't know here's the thing I went to my dentist who I like who's helped me out dude was like hey you got a little infection in the gum here do you have any tenderness no any headaches no you don't feel that no and this guy's

like I gotta do some drilling I gotta do some drilling you know me I'm a dentist I gotta do some drilling and I was like do some drilling. You know me. I'm a dentist. I got to do some drilling. And I was like, nah, dude. I don't know if you do. Because it's also COVID. And they're just calling me in there. And I'm like, I think you're just trying to scare up some business.

Because you're hurting like any other business. And I get in there. And he's told me about this. I got a gray spot in my x-rays, right? And he says, I got to. Here's the thing. We got to redo that root canal. You had a root canal.

We got to redo it. And I got to send you to a gum specialist first to take down your gum line. No. Because the appliance is going to sit too close to the gum line. And he was telling me that this is all going to cost me like over six grand. What? And now I'm looking for second opinions. No, thank you.

I'll give you a second opinion. You're fine. So, folks, if you're in L.A., if you're in L.A., you got a dentist you like? Somebody good with teeth? And gums? Yeah. The DMs are open. I say pull that thing.
