Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys, the show that takes a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton along with Mike Hanford. I'm Rubik. And Tim Kalfakis. What is up? I froze up for a second there. Yes.
Starting point is 00:00:27 No stylies on the Kelpie Cordial episode? Wow. I was just like so thrown by you being Rubick. Yeah. Mike, that requires a little explanation. Yeah, that does. That's why I said it because I want to get into it. So there was a...
Starting point is 00:00:41 It was kind of like a cold open. You wet our whistle for it. Yeah. And now, because I want to bring up something I want to talk about. There's, if you go on YouTube, in the 80s at some point, there was a TV show, a Saturday morning cartoon about the Rubik's Cube. And the idea is you get it all in the opening. It's the Rubik's Cube came down from space or something like that.
Starting point is 00:01:03 And he becomes friends with the kids. And the whole song for the opening of the show is, they're saying, Ruby, Ruby. And it's like, he's our friend. Ruby helps us. Ruby, Ruby, Ruby. By the way. At the end, yes.
Starting point is 00:01:16 He's a cube with an alien face and hands and feet sprouting out of it. Yeah. So it's like they did start with a Rubik's Cube, but then they plopped a face on it. Yeah. And so then they're saying, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, always Ruby throughout the whole song.
Starting point is 00:01:32 And at the end, he kind of shows up and he says, I'm Rubik. So who's Ruby? We're all wondering. Yeah, who is Ruby the whole time? Just some other person that's not in the show? Just somebody else. Maybe it's his nickname, but he is rubic is what he says my best guess a punk
Starting point is 00:01:51 rocker like me i'm thinking ruby ruby ruby ruby so ho destination we gotta become punkers man i'm trying i'm trying it's just we're trying our hardest. I just don't. I have a tough time cutting all my leather jacket sleeves off. I know that. I also have had a problem with a guitar. I'll pick it up, and I'm like, I'm going to play a few punk power chords. But then what do I do? Mixolydian scale. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Yeah. It's more. I mean, sonically, it's more pleasing to the ear. Sonically. One time I walked in. You know, Hanford and I used to live together Tim I've heard of that One time I walked into his bedroom And I caught him stitching his jeans
Starting point is 00:02:34 Back together The holes in his jeans No They said don't tell anyone about this Oh god I can't do it anymore If Tim ever saw that Because you made a big show of ripping them in front of me I don't even care I don't even care I can't do it anymore. If Tim ever saw that. Because you made a big show of ripping them in front of me.
Starting point is 00:02:45 I don't even care. I don't even care. I can't go back to that mosh pit, Jeff. They're eating me alive. There's a rancid song called Sidekick, maybe? Time Bomb. Yeah, that's a good one, too. The one that's like,
Starting point is 00:03:06 My name is Tim, I'm a... something, Sidekick. Tim Armstrong, yeah. Yeah, that's a good song. They're good. Yeah, they rock. We played a show with them. Certainly did.
Starting point is 00:03:17 The Rock and Roll... What is it? Rock and Roll Carnival. We did. It was more of a... Billed as Tim Armstrong in Friends, so it might have been maybe not all the rancid people,
Starting point is 00:03:27 but yeah, that was fun. I think that there was a little, who's the other guy, Lars? I feel like there was a Tim and Lars reunion at that carnival this year. Oh. Ooh. It was a charity event. Yeah, it's like a fundraising event. Backyard fundraiser music.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Muzak. Yeah, that's for music education in schools. They do a lot of good work over there, Muzak. Yeah, it's like a fundraising event. Backyard fundraiser music. Muzak. Yeah, that's for music education in schools. They do a lot of good work over there, Muzak. Yeah. They should do a thing where they send us around to schools to sort of sit the kids down and be like, here's an eighth note, you know, man. Oh, I thought it was going to be one of those scared straight things,
Starting point is 00:03:59 like, don't end up like us, kids. You want to look like me? I have to host a podcast. Don't end us up like us kids you want to look like me i have to host a podcast doing us up like us three albums in three years touring our own podcast uh yeah wait a minute this is how pretty fucking awesome kings of the sea yeah we're high up in the yellowbird tree follow me kids women want us and men want to be us let, kids. They charge out of the school with us like the new little Pied Pipers.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Yes, that's how it would be. If it were to be, it would be as that. That's why we don't get invited to schools to talk to kids about music, because they will take them out to show them what they're about.
Starting point is 00:04:47 What do you say we get into some booze news? That seems fine. Top of the show. Seems appropriate. Hit it! Sick. Hi, baby. Ooh, anticipation. Chills. Kale!
Starting point is 00:05:12 Kale! Kale! Kale! Gale. Wow. Gale. It's about the new Zyugra as we are the sexy sons of bitches. Whoa. Wow. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:37 What was that last part? I feel like a spell was cast on me. It sounded like speaking in tongues, maybe. Was it a different language? I couldn't tell. Maybe a little Latin. I heard sons of bitches, I think. I'll tell you who would know.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Jesse Lyons, who sent us that booze news theme. Jesse Lyons from the Guy Talians Eating Italian podcast. Jesse. If you have a booze news theme, email it to thesloppyboyspodcast at gmail.com. To anyone who doesn't know, Gale, of course, is a current teen pop star, 17-year-old sensation that has captured our hearts and the hearts of the nation.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Oh, people know about Gail. Yeah, and if you've never heard of her, check out one of her songs, A-B-C-D-E-F-U? Is that the real one? It's called A-B-C-D-E-F-U? Yeah. And if you want to know
Starting point is 00:06:22 what Gail's getting up to, check out the last couple, I think three booze news. There's Gale Watch 2022 happening. None of that today, unfortunately. Oh, that's sad. They're keeping up on all things Gale. Chopter Copter still down? You know, a lot of stuff happened this week.
Starting point is 00:06:41 We couldn't get out and do it. You know, I was talking to a friend of the show neil campbell and he pointed out to me um with what's going on in the world today with fuel uh you know the gas prices and stuff like that it's it's kind of a an interesting time mike that you chose to launch a chopter copter into the skies well our budget is humongous i mean and you have to spend it like you have to spend every dollar that yeah spend it or lose it they say oh yeah they said spend it or lose it and uh you break it you eat it so i said all right it will okay okay it's the kale egg rule um okay uh top story on booze news today this is this is just a very specific little thing that happened mere days ago
Starting point is 00:07:28 that just made me feel like when we get, it's going to lead us right into the drink of the day, and it's going to make you feel like we are locked in on the zeitgeist. Oh, shit. Okay. If it's about Monkey Gland, I'm going to throw my chair out the window. Okay, well, don't worry about your chair or window because it is's about Monkey Clan, I'm going to like throw my chair out the window. Okay. Well, don't worry about your chair or window because it is not about Monkey Clan.
Starting point is 00:07:49 But Captain Morgan Spiced Rum has released a new flavor. That sounds like this happens a lot. Release the flavors. Yes. Yes. Which is funny because their competitor is Kraken and then that would be more of a... Anyway. Ah.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah. and which is funny because their competitor is cracking and then that would be more of a anyway yeah this flavor of spice from the captain morgan just dropped cherry vanilla no rum yeah so when you want to talk about we haven't gotten there yet but when we want to talk about a a podcast the cocktail podcast that's sort of inventing drinks and you want to talk about taste trends certain flavor profiles that are sweeping that are in the zeitgeist on the tip of everyone's tongues yeah we're in lockstep with the culture okay yeah yeah no no i like you agree i agree i almost this is one of those things that you, you kind of step back and look at the timelines of things and you say, huh, maybe we are sort of dictating the zeitgeist. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:08:55 Maybe they're chasing us now. Maybe they're- It kind of is so weird because we started this show and we said, let's hold a mirror up to society. And then what has happened, that kind of mirror is sort of... Yeah. Oh, damn. The mirror is holding...
Starting point is 00:09:11 Well, the society is holding the mirror to us. It's sort of a... It's like a rotating 360 mirror. Yeah. Mirror. Yeah. It's a mirror. A mirror.
Starting point is 00:09:19 This happened with the... The same exact thing happened with the crack-up kid. Yep. Miranda brought it to us. We started saying started saying it boom all of a sudden there's all of a sudden there is a uh little video of the crack up kid he's grown up uh huh huh hmm tick tock eh all of a sudden he grew up huh he wasn't growing up before we came along. Seems a little convenient. He was doing that thing where he wasn't eating any food or getting any exercise, so he wasn't growing up. Yeah. They said, oh, shit, I got to respond to this video, but I got to grow up first or it'll
Starting point is 00:09:52 be weird if I'm not. I'm talking about Osmosis Jones in that old clip. Damn. Well, I get a little... They will expect me to have aged. Go ahead, Jeff. I got a little piece of booze news. What a teeny piece.
Starting point is 00:10:06 You know, it's not great, but I feel like we do cover this sort of activity on the show. This just came across my desk today, and so I'm spitting it out to the masses. Using my platform to shine a light on White Claw once again. Oh! My God.
Starting point is 00:10:21 New flavors! Oh boy. When any of these drinks kind of get far enough along, they start to have to create new combos to keep you interested. So these are sort of a collision course of different flavors they're coming up with. It's called White Claw Surf. The four flavors are Citrus Yuzu Smash. Okay. Tropical Pomelo Smash. Watermelon Lime Smash, and Wildberry Acai Smash. God, it must be hard for them when these flavors collide and then they have to kind of trap the can around the smash point.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Yeah. It's got to be quick. It's colliding! Jeff, say the name of those first two flavors. What was the first? Uzo? Citrus Yuzu. Yuzu is like a Japanese citrus, I believe.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Is it a fruit? Oh, it's like, okay. Oh, it's a fruit, all right. Yuzu looks like a lemon type of a thing. All right. And then what was the other one? It sounded like pomegranate, but it wasn't. Pomegranate.
Starting point is 00:11:22 It was tropical pomelo. P-O-M-E-L-O. I have. Pomegranate. It was tropical pomelo. P-O-M-E-L-O. Interesting. I've never heard of that either. What's a pomelo? I just wrote a P, and pomelo was the first suggestion. This is another citrus. This looks a bit like, well, one of them's huge here.
Starting point is 00:11:38 This looks like sort of a big coca, no, not a coca, grapefruit. Grapefruit. Hey, one of the first. Hold on, not Coke. Grapefruit. Grapefruit. Hey. Hold on. Hold on. What is it? People ask, what does a pomelo taste like? In general, pomelos taste very much like grapefruits.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Done. These fruits are over our heads. If we don't get the references, what chance does the common man have? Does Gen Z have? Come on. Yeah. Yeah. But they sound good.
Starting point is 00:12:04 You know, I guess I wouldn't need flavors to be colliding if if you're giving me some very interesting japanese citrus fruit that i've never had before that's interesting maybe you don't need to collide it with something else yeah i imagine they're wasting a lot of energy like colliding these fruits together and yeah entrapping the the results and these are these are hard seltzers? Yeah, these are all the same as always, 100 calories, one gram of carbs. They should have made fruit isolations.
Starting point is 00:12:34 We were able to trap just one fruit. I think that's just buying a fruit. Yeah, I did one of those today. I bought an apple. If these are more hard seltzers, I think I am hoping these pair well with my kitchen sink drain, because that's where they're going. I'm not doing any more hard seltzers. Oh, Michael.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Nope. No thanks. Nope. I don't like the originals. I'm not going to like the whack-out flavors, man. This is White Claw we're talking about, though, not Bud Light seltzer. I heard what you said. I don't like seltzers.
Starting point is 00:13:07 I think, for me, I think White Claw deserves my attention. I got to give it up. I got to hand it to him. Give it up for the claw. Give it up. God, that song has a good organ counter melody. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:13:20 You got to really listen for it, though. Do you need to really like that it's in there? That's front and center, baby. It still helps to really listen. Well, is that it for Booze News? Yeah. Well, would you like to get into the drink of the day? This is a good one, and it's been coming for a couple weeks now we've been talking about this.
Starting point is 00:13:49 It's been building? Curious about it. Ever curious. It's sort of like booze news takes center stage. Like the pod has become the subject of the pod. I love seeing these sorts of drinks that come from the hosts. That's what I'm saying. It's kind of like the Zeitgeist thing we were talking about before.
Starting point is 00:14:04 The show has now created this drink that's, yeah, this is good. Mike, how did your life change after you presented listeners with the Russian root which you had created? Oh, in ways I could never have expected. Tim, Tim, the freedom
Starting point is 00:14:20 root. Yes, thank you. Oh my God. Yes, yes, yes. Freedom root drink is a good drink. And it's good. It's put me in the limelight. It's put me in the conversation of the Sam Roths and the Sam Adamses.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Yeah. All the Sams, yeah. All the Sams, really. Folks, the drink of the day here on episode 76 of the sloppy boys podcast is the cowpe cordial you've had i've not had you've heard not had you've heard i've heard a lot tim i've heard i've heard big things big big things and not even from you guys i just from i've heard a lot about it out on the street when you when you hear that the
Starting point is 00:15:05 calpe cordial like we we talk about this with all kinds of cocktails but like so what comes to mind who what where what's the image you kind of associate what kind of guy drinks this uh maybe a guy wearing a tabasco shirt uh sitting in the living room with his wife nobody else has ever had one of these one of those one of those guys panicking that uh batman is gonna take it away from him nerve nerve wrangled jangled sweat miserable in his little home i i gotta say for the release here tim you're wearing a nice just a black polo which is unlike you usually do something big and flowery but this is uh this is nice this is like he's in his uh steve era. Exactly. You know what it is? I purposely... This is actually...
Starting point is 00:15:46 It buttons down. It's not a polo. It's a full button down. But I was thinking that I wanted to look like the bartenders at Bird's. I remember Brennan and Sam. They used to always wear... No, Bob. Bob, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:00 They used to always wear these short sleeve... Were they brothers? I thought they were. Damn. Blood brothers, probably. At least, very least. Yeah. Well, I guess for me, when I hear Calpe Cordial mentioned, what comes to mind, the type of
Starting point is 00:16:17 person who would drink it is maybe like sort of a, maybe a one-time Emmy nominated writer, maybe a two-time Emmy-nominated writer, maybe a two-time WGA Award nominee, maybe perhaps one-time brought Starbucks coffee for the entire cast and crew of a music video shoot. Right, that type of guy. Is it the type of guy who would have seen Colin Farrell and his at-home coolness? Yes, and the type of guy that would have driven
Starting point is 00:16:46 a convertible 1989 Chrysler LeBaron to Colin Farrell's house on that day. The type of guy who would scream, DuckTales is on to his family as a child. To let his parents know that his favorite cartoon was on in case they wanted to run in and watch. The type of guy who dresses like the bartenders
Starting point is 00:17:02 he used to like. Let's put it this way. If you had to choose one thing, it's like the type of guy, this like the bartenders he used to like the type of guy let's put it this way if you had to choose one thing it's like the type of the guy yeah this is a warm caring this is a guy who says stuff like you meet him he says what is up because he he has a curiosity about you and he wants to connect on an emotional level empathy gushing with empathy well this is this the same type of guy who says what is up but then then has gone on tapes, told us that when he sees people on the street, he avoids saying anything. The type of guy that will see a good, good friend on the street, someone he hasn't talked to in three years, and he'll just hold up his coffee and say, pep it up. He won't ask his friend about his friend's new baby or wife he will hold up a coffee and say
Starting point is 00:17:47 but okay so that's the type of a guy now the circumstances for a cowpea cordial this is this is a little more broadened i would say this is it's meant to be sort of enjoyed in a warm festive environment among family and friends you know you kind of make a tray of them you share them with the people who are important in your life you know so as we hear about this drink today slop heads this is one to learn for when you are let's say you're kind of a young slop head you're home from school you know and you gather around all your your old hometown flames home from college not middle school or grammar school yeah you're home from a hard day at kindergarten and you make it you know
Starting point is 00:18:31 let's say perhaps you're an old slob head you know real you're you kind of get up off your deathbed and you make a round of these for all the the doctors and nurses uh who've been keeping you alive. Attending to you, yeah. But it's to show gratitude. And I think everyone knows that about this drink. But what they don't know is the history. So maybe I'll walk you through it. This is a thank you drink. Okay. Yeah, Ariana Grande has a song that's like,
Starting point is 00:19:00 thank you drink. Mm-hmm. Wait. Okay. Yes. Yes. Yep. Yeah, just checking Spotify and Mm-hmm. Wait. Okay. Yes. Yes. Yep. Yeah, just checking Spotify, and it is her top song.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Okay. Yeah. And what is this? No other songs. That's interesting. I could have sworn. Okay. The history of the drink.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Let me paint a picture for you guys, okay? So it's- Matisse over here. I love it. It's the Friday of Thanksgiving weekend, 2021. A young hotshot comedy writer is out in the dusty desert late at night. He goes to Pappy and Harriet's with Jessica. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:34 He takes a ribeye to the dome. We don't know the comedy writer's name, but we know Jessica is there. Whoever he is. Oh, no. I forgot to mention the boy in the story is me. This is happening. Oh, go ahead well i had a ribeye and i had a couple of whiskey sours uh you take the egg option and but but here's the thing i didn't take the egg option take the ice option i took the i'll tell you what just yesterday i brought up on my phone leo drinking whiskey sours and um
Starting point is 00:20:05 yeah once upon a time in hollywood and i laughed out loud again oh yeah yeah could eight goddamn fucking whiskey sours could have three or four had to have eight that's funny okay so i'm drinking i'm pappy and harriet's for anyone who doesn't know is this very fun saloon bar music venue barbecue place out in pioneer town the desert in california i'm we're drinking we're having a fun time on this holiday friday night but here's the problem guys we got the car with us okay i'm driving so i can't cut loose to the full extent that i want to so i'm responsible tim i like that i like to hear that and young slobheads listen to this i truly don't
Starting point is 00:20:46 ever fuck with drinking and driving two drinks timmy timmy's getting in an uber but the deal out there is like there's no ubers europe pioneer town is very isolated and yucca valley is a teeny town so i say how about this we drive back to our motel and then we ditch the car at our crappy little motel we walk to a local watering hole and we get all tanked up uh over there but we do this plan we go to this this like bar in yucca valley that's right by our crappy motel full record scratch moment we walk in and it was locals big old bearded locals they were like suited folk they looked at me in my pretty little mouth and it it really was i felt like immediately uh uncomfortable and then i go up to the bar and i said i uh can i get a makers on the rocks
Starting point is 00:21:40 and because i had enough whiskey sours i didn't want to fuck around with any more sour um and the lady uh the bartender goes into this spiel uh it was like uh this is a beer bar we do not sell liquor we are a cash only establishment and before you ask no we do not have an atm that would make things too easy on you whoa fucking yelled it out so like everyone like to embarrass me like everyone looked at me it's like it's like a live like do we serve water type of a real life yeah coyote ugly wow so i'm like the preppy yuppie that got shot out of coyote ugly with this with the seltzer gun um but and i mean the truth is i did have cash on me and i do like beer but i kind of was cheesed out by that so i was like whatever i'm gonna fuck off you know so i i were walking out of there oh so you bailed that's great i bailed i'm not i don't give my
Starting point is 00:22:38 fucking yeah emmy winning money where is that emmy Do you have, oh, did you? It was a nomination and I didn't win it, Mike. Thank you. I do have a piece of paper somewhere that says that I was nominated.
Starting point is 00:22:51 I should have that framed and blown up. You should have it shrunk down and have it in your wallet in case of these sorts of situations. I might have it shrunk down and hanging on my dick. Oh.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Okay, so we're walking home and I go, hey, COVID. I'm walking home and i say oh i remembered i brought some little sailor jerry nips in my bag uh so let's stop at 7-eleven and get some mixers and we poke into 7-eleven i scan the fridge was that a mirror turning around? Yeah. 360 society mirror. Cherry Cola. I see.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Cherry Coke. Coca-Cola brand cherry Coke. A fine drink on its own. Really good. Maybe perhaps won our Patreon episode of best soft drink. I think you're right because I think two of us had it. Yeah. So I got that.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Went back to the hotel room. Did the the thing it's so fun in a hotel room you get the ice bucket you know you get the little bathroom plastic cups and you're mixing up a drink uh kind of like john candy and uh steve martin taking their little nips to the dome but i go i mix them up and and i drink so sailor jerry and cherry coke and i and there it just struck both me and jessica is like kind of weirdly good like you know uh one liquor one mixer but it was very we were like this is good and there's like a a synergy between the spiced rum and the cherry cola that it's an elevated rum and coke that has a little bit of warmth i want to say festive cheer and warmth to it and it was a you know weird dusty desert hotel room but we're having a warm that's why i called it
Starting point is 00:24:32 the cordial it makes you feel cordial you know is that what a cordial means is that what no a cordial is like a liqueur or a schnapps it's like a like a yeah but like why do i always associate the word cordial i mean the word cordial means like warm and pleasant, right? Or festive. So maybe the first person- Full of cord. Yeah. But why is it associated with cherry?
Starting point is 00:24:55 Or is it? Because I think cherry schnapp, like a cherry cordial. I mean, aren't cherries welcoming and pleasant, Jeff? I think. Yes. Jeff, when someone visits your home home do you not hand them a cherry upon entrance yes we do
Starting point is 00:25:10 that's what we do yes and they always enjoy it they better every time I go to Jeff's I'm like just fucking trying to get that cherry down just to make him happy did you finish every last bite yeah it's basically one bite. Swallow the pit. Yeah, I'll go to Jeff's and he'll hand me.
Starting point is 00:25:27 I say, yes. Okay, this isn't the strangest fruit to give someone upon entrance in their home. Probably more of one of those yuzu fruits would be a little more. Okay, so I get back to LA after this weekend. I say, that was good. I'm going to keep drinking these. And what works for me is I get the Cherry Coke Zero because you guys know I'm trying to get rail thin. I'm talking skinny so you can count my bones.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Even thinner? I don't think that's possible. I'm trying to get to the point where it's like we're worried about Tim. I'm worried more about what's going on below the neck. What's going on in that brain rattling around up there. Below the neck.
Starting point is 00:26:09 The brain's dipping down below the neck. Did I say above? I meant above the neck. I got a lot of action above the neck and below the belt, but really nothing in the middle there. So you can make kind of the low cow version, but then I told you guys...
Starting point is 00:26:23 Yes, you've got fantastic knees, Tim. When I was on my big DeSarono kick, I was splashing a little amaretto on top. Remember that. And then here's the thing. You don't have to float anything on top. You do it. Oh,
Starting point is 00:26:34 gee, style is original style. He's that's great. But it is fun. If you scan your brain for the sort of warm things you have, your, your, uh,
Starting point is 00:26:44 grand Marnier, uh, maybe an Amaro, maybe a SoCo, something sort of warm things you have your your uh grand marnier uh maybe an amaro maybe a soco something kind of warm you can always float it on top of you dude hey you know i have an i have an idea tim i don't want to be throwing variations at you this please in the episode hey put a little fireball on there dude that's fucking good that is a good idea that's fucking good. That is a good idea. That's fucking pit bull stylies. You know what? I might do that for round two. Holy shit. I'm going to do that for round one.
Starting point is 00:27:09 That's perfectly on. It's warm. It's festive. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Tim, here's the thing. The genius of what you've cooked up here is that these are two readily available ingredients, but they have specificity. You're not saying grab any old rum and any old Coke.
Starting point is 00:27:27 You're saying you need a spiced rum and a cherry Coke. And I'll tell you what, any gas station worth its salt is going to have that shit. Hell yeah. And that's why I want to be up there with the fucking, you know, I talked before in the pod, how I was like tinkering and making the recipe fancy.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Then I realized, no, Tim, if you want the, you want the Calpe cordial to be a drink of the people you want it to you want in the future it goes tequila soda vodka soda whiskey ginger calpe cordial boom bish bish bish bish yep okay bish okay the iba is gonna be fucking recognizing this thing. And I'll say this about the Coke. If you can't find cherry Coke, you know, I've done it with wild cherry Pepsi. Works great. I've done it with normal Coke and I splash in. I've got Trader Vic's maraschino syrup.
Starting point is 00:28:17 That's probably the best. And yes, you can do grenadine. That's a little more the Batman territory. A little bit gothic. No, we don't do that. No, we don't do that. No, no, no. Thank thank you don't even want to talk about the amc theaters yes forget that i am so over that is like olivia rodrigo that's like livrod shit okay it's the thing of the past it don't look in the rear view you're looking forward to the future let's look forward to my recipe here to slop heads write it down one and a half ounces of spiced rum now that can be sailor jerry captain
Starting point is 00:28:47 morgan admiral nelson you know commander jones any nautical nautical man and notice i said one and a half ounces that's a shot frank is the one i got he's good He's actually really good. Yeah, that's a nice, easy measurement. I have cabin boy, Carl. Anyway, a lot of, I feel like I've learned that most cocktails start with two ounces of a base spirit. But this is one of the few cocktails where if you make it too strong, you don't taste the cherry anymore. So you kind of, it's almost nice to make it kind of weak sometimes. Interesting. After the spiced rum, cherry Coke to the top.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Okay? Top up. I'm not giving you a specific measurement because this is like a tequila soda, vodka soda, whiskey ginger. Wait, that was an ounce and a half. That's a shot of rum. Rum. Spiced rum.
Starting point is 00:29:43 I'm going to be using Sailor Jerry. You guys got Captain Morgan? I got Captain Morgan and I'm so happy to use it. I've been I've had this bottle for like three years and never used it. Is it a big handle? Yeah, it's a big dumb handle I got from like a bachelor party or something like that. I'll take it. Haven't touched it.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Captain Morgan was a big part of our college experience. Yeah. I really thought I'd use it. What is it? You and the captain make it happen? Is that the name? Oh, yeah. That's Captain Crush. That's Captain Crush.
Starting point is 00:30:10 No, everyone's got a little captain in them. They were lifting their knee into the air. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You make it happen, too, with this captain. All types of captains. I got a pint of Captain Morgan's, and it came in one of those Kind of thin looking
Starting point is 00:30:26 Almost like What do they fucking call those What are those things called Where you unscrew the top and you fit it right in your pocket It's like a flask It had that kind of feel And I slipped it in my pocket when I left After I paid for it
Starting point is 00:30:41 And I was like oh this feels like An 80's 90's movie movie guy who has a flask of whiskey or something in his pocket. That's cool. You should be one of those guys. Well, he was that day. It's kind of funny if you're stealing little sips of Captain Morgan spiced rum. Oh, I told you guys the time I went to the fireworks and I put some Captain Morgans in a Coke. The cop smelled it and said, vanilla Coke, good choice.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Ah, yes. So it's already got a warmth to it. Well. Wait, but Tim, about the to the top thing. Yep. I have a classic DOF glass, double old fashioned. Perfect. I'm going to load it up with cubes, but here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:31:20 I'm going to think, I think I'm going to do a double. I think I'm going to do three ounces and then go to the top with that. Double perfect okay okay cool i uh it tends to just run it by the guy you know yeah you don't get we don't get sit down with the inventor very often a lot of them don't answer our emails but i've found that uh i like to really always pack my glass with ice and i've found with this drink. Yeah, Pac-Man. Although, you know, sometimes I also said that I didn't want to,
Starting point is 00:31:49 you don't want to make this drink too strong. So I guess Slopheads, I'm not going to ride you too hard if you don't put enough ice. But I just like, you know, when you're making a cocktail, put ice in there. Sometimes you look at a cocktail and it's like, you know those moon-shaped cubes that come out of a fridge and and it's like there's like two of them floating around and make it hard to drink
Starting point is 00:32:09 when those moon-shaped when the when the curve of the moon-shaped cube rides the glass exactly and prevents the fucking drink from going into your mouth that's a good album title for us the curve of the moon-shaped cube it just hurt people's heads just even reading it. The curve of the moon-shaped cube. It's mostly like just ambient music and poetry. The curve of the moon-shaped cube. To answer you though, Jeff, it tends to be about two to one soda to rum, just based on the amount of room left between your cubes. But
Starting point is 00:32:46 do it to taste. I'm not giving you a super specific specification there, but here's the method, folks, with your spiced rum and your cherry Coke. Pour rum in an old-fashioned glass filled with ice. That's a lowball glass. Topped with cherry Coke, garnish or float in a manner that reflects
Starting point is 00:33:02 your own personal style. I like this. Okay. So if you don't garnish, no shame in that. That's original style. That's Calpe cordial. That's beloved. Doesn't speak well of your character.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Well, hey, come on. Who am I to judge? To not have your own style. It's fine if you don't, if you're an uninteresting person. The world needs them too. But I think that, you know know it's fun to garnish i mentioned all my little floats sometimes it could be uh uh amaretto or grand marnier morrow or fireball but other times hey i'm gonna today i'm gonna be putting cherries up there because i think it's the perfect garnish for a nice warm cherry drink but you let's say you got your favorite swizzle stick maybe you're a tiki person
Starting point is 00:33:46 and you like the little umbrella and you can get you this came to me because you guys suggested i should top mine with a guitar pick and i do have a nice little heart-shaped red guitar pick that i might put on top of there too and say because i'm a guitarist you know and it tells people around me i make music yeah if you're a computer programmer maybe you put like a usb thumb drive on the corner yes that's exactly or you pop a key off your computer keyboard pop that in there oh i think let's say you're a gambling man and you love to hit vegas how about you you put a couple dice up oh that's i'm looking here i'm i'm usually sort of uh feeling sick or something how about i put a little bit of my neosporin in there yes yes is it um is that the pain relieving kind or
Starting point is 00:34:32 is it just the that is original ointment okay original ointment stylies that's perfect for you pretty original guy um classic whatever reflects your own personal style, this is your chance, but you don't have to. That is the long and short of it. That is the drink I've laid out. I'm ready to... That's the ice cubes. And then here's the drinks. Yeah, I'm a little bit ready to like a...
Starting point is 00:35:02 Wait a minute. Oh, yeah, you've had enough of these. You act like that. You act like that? You act like that with me? You behave that way here? No, not now. On my pod.
Starting point is 00:35:15 All right, folks. Let's go mix up these Calpe cordials. I can't wait to talk about them. Great. Oh yeah. We'll see you after these messages. And we're back with Calpy Cordials. Feeling warm and inviting.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Oh, you know, I measured this time and it was actually three to one. Whoa. Mine's more like two to one. Whoa. Well, that is what I had said in segment one, so that's fine. Did you do any garnishes, or did you choose to go original stylies? I garnished. I've been having a lot of fun in the kitchen lately, so I put a little spatula in mine.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Beautiful. A little lava. And you have mentioned with your egg bakes and your vegetarian cuisine. That's right. It's top of mind what I do in the kitchen. I also love that it's red. It kind of fits with the color scheme. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Jefferson, your style leaf? See, I kept it very simple because I want to get a nice read on this, but I needed to have a garnish. So I threw in a very simple, very classy Luxardo. Oh, my God. That's perfect. Elegance unlimited. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Is that sunk at the bottom? Is that where we're looking at there? It's sort of amongst the cubes right now. It's trapped in the ice. We got to fish it out from the cubes. There's only one way to get it out. Tim, what do you got going on? That looks nuts.
Starting point is 00:36:44 I went cherry stylies But I wanted to give it my own personal flair I'm kind of an indulgent guy So I put like eight or ten cherries in there You guys have more cherries than cubes Eight or ten cherries you got Wow Eight or ten
Starting point is 00:36:55 So I would say on average Possibly like nine Okay Shall we? Let's do it Bottoms up That's very good that's very good do you feel like a kind of a warmth like taking over your body and making
Starting point is 00:37:20 you feel cordial i do feel cordial here. Here's the thing. The warmth, and I understand the warmth is more of a feeling, not the temperature, but I've got a, I had a chilled glass and I put a lot of ice and a very cold Coke. This might be too cold of a drink right now. Mike, your lips are turning blue, dude. Oh, that's good. That's nice.
Starting point is 00:37:41 You know, I tell you this, I was thinking too, when I had a jar of maraschino cherries, I was loading up and I said, I could have just, you know, used the normal Coke and drip, drip, a little bit of this maraschino juice. Well, if you got cherry Coke, you're going to want to use that recipe. I feel like I should have maybe put, I put too much Coke in, cherry Coke in this. Really? Like I'm not getting the spiced rum really at all i
Starting point is 00:38:05 think i did uh i think i did a little too much spiced rum you know what i'm just gonna go grab a little bottle of cherry coke and see if i can do a little tweak yeah top off as you sip and that way you can lock in your perfect perfect while he's doing that i'm gonna customize my drink and put a little more of the spiced rum in there just. I'm going to hold it down solo here for a little bit. Yeah, you riff, man. Just riff. Okay, Mike, John. Hey, guys.
Starting point is 00:38:32 It's Tim. And I'm back. Oh, Jeff's here. I'll tell you this. Cherries are delicious. I've eaten seven of them. Okay, Jeff's gone again, guys. I wanted to say say go easy on mike
Starting point is 00:38:45 and jeff um they're doing their best but uh just bear with them okay jefferson hey um i wanted to show you guys as we're uh it was really exhilarating to like learn about i like learning about the two of you through your stylies and i wanted to show you i snapped a few pictures of cordials that i've made before um and i'll show you on my phone here here was i i also there's a warmth the warmth just show you're getting the warmth okay now so you had to add more spiced rum jeff has to add more cherry coke it's that perfect yeah which is which is weird because this isn't maybe i just didn't do an ounce and a half correctly i think i think i did but well you see the creator of this recipe didn't give you a standard measurement he said top up so
Starting point is 00:39:34 yeah tim for me just for me yeah three to one is where it's at that's just we got the shit wired over here so yeah mine is three to one and it tastes like the way that I want it to. So let's go ahead and say Slopheads. It's again, it's your thing. You do whatever. No one's going to tell you how to make a vodka soda. So you could always tweak what you want. Same brain. Let's say you want to be like a pretentious,
Starting point is 00:39:59 waxy mustache type of guy about to copy Cordial. You go, oh, it's got to be three to one. It's got to be three to one. Otherwise I won't drink to one otherwise i won't drink it it's piss oh man here's the pictures i want to show you guys first this was just some classy ones where i had some nice red swizzle sticks and some luxardos that were on um yeah oh wow that looks like that looks ready for the magazine yeah that was kind of gourmet magazine style is tim promise me you will post that i promise you here Yeah, that was kind of gourmet magazine stylies. Tim, promise me you will post that. I promise you. Here's one that was on your recommendation.
Starting point is 00:40:29 This was guitar pick stylies. Little red guitar pick. Oh, I see it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I see it. And I usually use a medium pick, and those are orange, so I had to use a heavy pick for that, which was fine. And after that, you know, I was thinking like,
Starting point is 00:40:44 hey, how do i show my my own personal uh flair and in our band i tend to wear a lot of uh pairs of sunglasses so here's but then of course what hit me for my last one i said tim tim tim what about people who are from louisiana you know and they want to show to show off that they're from such a wonderful place. I did one Calpe Gorgio with tiny Tabasco bottles. With one of those little nips of Tabasco. How did you perch it on the side of the glass just so? Well, here's the thing, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:41:20 I dropped it in there. It knocked the cube out of the way and it sunk to the bottom. Then I fished my fat little fingers in there, pulled it out, and then I had to stack the cubes up to make almost like a little cube mountain to rest the bottle on top. But that's like Louisiana styleys. Well, but Tim, also, you got the shot.
Starting point is 00:41:38 All I care about, I am a shutterbug, okay? You got the shot. Oh, I should say the pick idea I had, I also suggested just doing like a triangle of, you know, pineapple or something.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Pineapple, you'd said. Yes. Just to give it this sort of, that's what it represents. But I don't know if pineapple would be good in this. Pineapple cherry? That sounds pretty good to me.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Well, it wouldn't even, it wouldn't even affect the flavor too much. We just have a nice little triangle perched on the side, and it shows people that you love Dole. You would have voted for Dole. I've ridden the Dole train at the Dole Plantation on Oahu. Hey, you ever had a Dole whip? Yeah. Love them.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Never had. You know, here's what I learned that you can't just sell a dole whip anywhere because they're branded and i've turned i learned this at work the other day i've had dole whips at the only three places where they are sanctioned to be sold disneyland disneyland then the dole plantation in hawaii And then the fucking someplace like a random place in Palm Springs. Oh, really? Oh, Doley's. Doley's hole.
Starting point is 00:42:51 The Dole. The Dole hole. This is good. Do you think, should I, should we officially say three to one? Does that make it a stronger recipe? Three to one. I think it makes it a more, you taste the spiced rum in there, because you chose spiced rum for a reason.
Starting point is 00:43:07 The taste. Because I didn't just go any old Bacardi off the fucking shelf. I'm enjoying this, Tim. Do you feel cordial? Yeah, if anyone showed up at my door, I'd say, come in, man, and know me better. So you, the interesting thing about this drink, it's like, I think of rum as a tropical drink.
Starting point is 00:43:31 And that's like, you don't, like a warm drink, it makes me think of like a Christmas drink, which this certainly doesn't. Well, these are interesting points, Mike. But might I just remind you, rum, the colonial America rum is coming up and it's served in New York taverns and stuff like that. And it makes its way in to, let's not forget, eggnog and Tom and Jerry's and some Christmassy type stuff. Right, right, right, right. Okay. You got your, you know, spiced rum, yeah, Christmassy. White rum, I'm in the islands.
Starting point is 00:44:08 You know what else I like about this drink? Calpe Cordial. It came out of adversity. It came out of somebody at the bar telling you, no, no, no. It came out of Batman, the corporation saying, we do it first. We do first. But it's cordial. You took the upper hand here, or the better hand.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Upper hand, you took the higher road, let's say that. There you go. Yeah. And you're cordial about it. I'm like Michael Jordan. You know, you tell me I can't do something. I say, okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:39 No, okay. That's fine. That's the way you want to play it. And you dunked. And I'll dunk on you. And on the warm front, I want to play and you dunk that i'll dunk on you and on the warm front i want to be clear i don't consider this like it's not it's not a christmas drink but it is it's a way to conjure that you know when it's a little too early it's not thanksgiving yet or
Starting point is 00:44:57 it's like a little later later in the winter it's it's uh you know late march or even early april and you're thinking it's i don't know what time of year. It's not like spring has fully sprung yet. I feel like I'm in a fucking no man's land here. Yeah, well, help me out. Yeah, when the hell is spring? April? Throw me a bone.
Starting point is 00:45:14 I don't know. I feel like spring, we act like spring's happening, but it's really like May, you know? Yeah. You always get that fake out thing. I remember that from living in New York, but especially when we went to Ithaca College. There would be like a day that was warm in early April and everyone would be out
Starting point is 00:45:31 on the quad playing guitar, throwing the frisbee around. Two days later, snow. Sorry, folks. I got news for you here. Whose news? No, this is weather news. No, seasonal news.
Starting point is 00:45:47 First day of spring this year, March 20th. Already happened. Equinox. I think it was April. I thought it was April. How come no one wished me happy spring? What the hell's going on here? Nobody remembers spring anymore? I mailed you something.
Starting point is 00:46:03 It hasn't gotten here yet. Have you ever done the thing i remember being a kid and being at my dad's friend's house and he was like spend much time at your dad's friend's house he didn't go over to neil rubenstein's house not much time over there i actually don't know maybe it could have been michael i would go over there to borrow his lawnmower borrow some tools no who was it it, no, it was Sherit Chase. Anyway, listen. Sherit Chase. He said that it's the equinox and you can balance an egg. I've heard that too.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Because like the magnetism of the universe is such that you could balance an egg on a table. Like, yeah, sticking straight up, right? I don't like that. That feels witchy to me. That's dark-sided. That's dark-sided. That's dark-sided? Wait, who says that? That was an episode of Wife Swap we all watched.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Oh, that lady that has that crazy tie-in. It's dark-sided! It's dark-sided! She's not Christian! That's good television. Could you imagine? Folks, check out that 15 year old episode Of Wife Swap That lady was losing her shit Could you imagine the producers being like
Starting point is 00:47:12 Yeah lady you're right keep going That's good That's on YouTube You can look up I think Just Wife Swap and then she's not a Christian Or something This lady she gets wild. I'm not Christian!
Starting point is 00:47:29 You guys are Christian, right, before I lose my shit? Hell yes. Oh, yeah. Okay, good. Thank you. Born and raised. That should be known to everyone listening. All three sloppy boys attended Catholic high school. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Mm-hmm. Tim, I think we have We You know, earlier we were talking about The zeitgeist of this The zeitgeist in general And how this drink fits into it And you know, we talk about here This drink is a little more far and wide
Starting point is 00:47:57 Than you would think Really? Yeah, there is an artist Sort of a newer artist Who put out a song recently. I think it's on Spotify, but I ripped it off YouTube. But I got it here if we want to take a listen. I would love to.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Oh, great. And I am a Spotify subscriber, so after the show, that's where I can go. Yeah. The thing I will say about this thing, the artist, towards the end, I think, kind of like, must have, I don't know the whole story, but maybe tripped on something and something got a little funky
Starting point is 00:48:31 at the end. Okay, no, that's just at the end, but until then, it's just, it's basically, I thought Calbee Cordial
Starting point is 00:48:37 hadn't really gone too far and wide, but you're saying that this song might prove otherwise? Yeah, I mean, it's one of those songs too where, you know,
Starting point is 00:48:43 it's really hooking into that feeling that sort of specific moment right now that's like, what is this drink? What is it? We're sort of teaching about it, learning about it. Yeah, so.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Because it's a drink that makes you think, what? Why? At this moment, at this moment right now. Who and when and which? All right. There's a brand new drink and it's making the rounds.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Don't know if it's optional with the ice. Nothing left to do, so let's just drink them down. A, B, C, D, E, Calcge is the drink and we hope it doesn't stink. Almost taken by Batman, the one with Pattinson. Corge will take a sip. That means put it to your lip. Then just tip the glass back. It's a very simple task.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Enjoy. Yeah. Oh. That must have been what you were talking about. That must have been. That was Gail. Oh! We, well, I skipped. We did do some Gail Watch 2022 this week.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Of course, I skipped it in Booze News because I had this I kind of wanted to sit on. It didn't seem appropriate to do early on. But yeah, we found this. And Gail is into... Well, she shouldn't be doing it. She's 17 years old. She should not be drinking. Right, no, we don't condone that. But is there a virgin version of this, Tim? What?
Starting point is 00:50:22 Yeah. Is there a virgin version of this drink? Oh, oh, oh, oh. A virgin version. Virgin. Yes. Basically, what you want to do, old-fashioned glass full of ice, top up with cherry cream.
Starting point is 00:50:37 That's Gale style. And put a spatula in it. Yes. And if you are a budding home chef, put a red spatula in there. Wait, wait. You might be thinking, top what up? The ice.
Starting point is 00:50:49 That's what you're topping up. Finish off that ice. You were about to have the ice, but no, no. Top up. The ice, you goon. I like hearing, was Gail doubling her vocals this time? I like the sound. Yeah, she's a really rich sound.
Starting point is 00:51:05 She's moving on to new things. And what a nice little organic earworm. A, B, C, D, E, what is it? Calp cord? Calp cord. The drink is called the Calpy Cordial. No, I know. Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:18 So it rhymes because F-U, forget you you Calp-corge Calp-corge It's a drink And we hope it doesn't stink See that's what I'm saying They don't know about it yet People don't know Yeah cutting edge
Starting point is 00:51:32 It's so new They've heard about it But they haven't had it It's so in the moment Wow Yeah Fuck Mmm
Starting point is 00:51:38 Well Mmm You know when you said like You know there's this drink And then there's also like The zeitgeist, sometimes I get confused between the two even. I know.
Starting point is 00:51:48 Are they even the same thing? Yeah. I know. I know. They are. Today they are. It's great we're getting in on the ground floor of this drink, and all the listeners are too.
Starting point is 00:52:01 And I think I'm going to experiment with some new stylies for round two me too i'm gonna i'm gonna try a floater this time what floaters you're putting in there here's an idea i was i just did a quick scan of my liquor shelf and i said sweet warm sweet warm what would go good in this and i looked because i've done grand marnier and i've done uh and i've done the uh amarettos and amaros stuff my eyes landed on this is kind of perfect because this thing i don't know looked because i've done grand marnier and i've done uh and i've done the uh amaretto's and amaro's stuff my eyes landed on this is kind of perfect because this thing i don't know what to do with it most of the time i got this big bottle trader vicks macadamia nut liqueur wow nutty warm sweet it's very sweet so i'm only going to do a drizzle tim you're going down
Starting point is 00:52:42 the check marks in my head nuttyty check, warm check, sweet check. This is how I describe you, Jeff. Jeff Dutton, who is that nutty, warm, sweet? You know the guy. He's nutty, warm, and sweet. That's the guy. And his hair is always changing color. Big purple pee. Purple pee, if you listen to the blowout. For those non-patrons
Starting point is 00:53:04 right now, they're going, what the fuck are they doing over there in the blowout. For those non-patrons right now, they're going, what the fuck are they doing over there in the blowout? This is insane over there. Yeah, it kind of is. And we kind of love it. And, hey, as long as we're talking about the Patreon, we got our second pay pig forking over $100 a month for no perks over there. So you could say that our little sty is filling up quite nicely,
Starting point is 00:53:25 isn't it? Yes, that's right. Wait, so a floater is just kind of a little dropper? Think of a... Remember at the restaurant Mexico City they had the Cadillac Margarita? It was a margarita and then they'd take a shot of Grand Marnier
Starting point is 00:53:41 and just gently pour it over the top so it doesn't even mix in. It just sits on the top. I'm going to go see what I have, but I think I've got an idea for a floater. By the way, rest in peace, Mexico City. Have you guys been to Encanto? I love the movie. I'm enjoying Encanto, but it's a place for a $17 cocktail and a $100 dinner.
Starting point is 00:54:02 What? It's a little much for the J-Man. Yeah. I ordered a whiskey and a beer. I think it was a whiskey and a beer. It shows up on a brass tray with two lines of salt. Oh, they did like a cocaine joke. I was like, come on.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Oh, I was making a joke, but like they're trying to do like a cocaine. Yes, they're trying to do like a cocaine nod. And it was like a bottle of Coke and then your your glass with ice, and it was all separated. I snorted the shit. Yeah, and you snorted it. And then it was weird because you were really coked up the rest of the night. Well, I'm going to be with you guys next week. I'm going to go there.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it. Oh, that's going to be fun, by the way. Folks, you're going to be hearing some live IRL episodes coming up. Yeah, baby. All right. I'm going to go make another one.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Yeah, let's do it. Round two. Let's go. And we're back with round two of the delicious Calpe Cordial. Delicious. I like this. Bodes well for final thoughts, I'll tell you that. I think we had our final thoughts.
Starting point is 00:55:16 All right. I have the Calpe Cordial in hand, and I said, what should I float here? Tonight, I introduced Calpe to Mr. DeKuyper, a little triple sec. Beautiful. Michael, sweet, warm, orange. Love it. Very good.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Very good. I like that orange style. I did, as promised, I put in half a shot, 15 milliliters of Fireball. And I stirred it in to test because I was like, is this going to be perceptible? And folks, it is. But just a little bit, it's balanced. If you want to bring a little holiday cheer to the Calpe Cordial, look no further than a little bit of Fireball. So now why exactly do you laugh when you say that?
Starting point is 00:56:07 Look no further. fireball. So now why exactly do you laugh when you say that? Look no further. Tim, it makes me wistful. Oh, okay. You're looking back on good times you've had. I've got the... Oh yeah, that worked.
Starting point is 00:56:22 I did that macadamia nut stuff. I only put the teeniest drizzle but little nutty you know almost uh the way that uh a really good mai tai will have that little nuttiness to it and hey we're three nutty guys so why not sure sure nutty stylies um stylies now let me ask you this when i was getting my cherry coke today i wanted by and the first thing i saw was cherry Pepsi. And I said, oh, that's not exactly what I want,
Starting point is 00:56:48 but what if I have to go with that? I did find the cherry Coke. But now would you say no, no, no to something like that? I'd actually say yes, yes, yes. I know Coke versus Pepsi is a whole fucking thing. But I got it.
Starting point is 00:57:01 I'd actually say yes, yes, yes. My answer to that officially on the record is yes yes yes and during my my months of strenuous tech tech test kitchen oh boy r&d these portals are hitting me um research and development I did try it with wild cherry pepsi and I feel like wild cherry pepsi has the cherry comes through more than a Cherry Coke. I think maybe I like Cherry Coke better than Wild Cherry Pepsi. But in the context of the drink, the Pepsi was pretty cherry-ish, which I liked. Did I see an ad the other day for Coca-Cola coffee?
Starting point is 00:57:40 Yeah. Yeah, okay. I thought it. Wait, Mike, I thought you drank one of those on the show. I thought one of you. Jeff, thought you drank one of those on the show one i thought one of you jeff did you bring those paps paps hard coffee i think oh yes which i still have in the fridge by the way not something i'm reaching for it's hard to fuck the coffee brown can yeah reach for the brown can brown kale you good. I don't know when to drink that. Caffeine and booze at the same time is weird.
Starting point is 00:58:12 I know we live in the age of the espresso martini, but I feel like if it's Saturday night and if I'm feeling sluggish and I'm going out, at like 7 p.m. I will have a Red Bull and then later I'll get drunk, but I rarely want to do them at the same time.m i will have a red bull and then later i'll get drunk but i rarely want to do them at the same time it gets me all weird i've had several espresso martinis between the time i got this paps done now i'm never reaching for that paps why do they call it espresso the guy here zips you up gets you on the express lane but uh i've heard that i've heard that. I read that. It's a lot of liquid, that tall boy of hard coffee.
Starting point is 00:58:48 You know? Yeah. Do you need all that? It kind of makes you piss. Which is good if you're a piss freak, yes, but... I will give my final thoughts. Do it. I will order this again.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Oh, my God. I will order this again. Oh my god. I will order this again. This means so much to us over here at Kelby Cordial. It's got that rum and coke style thing where it's like you know, if you're having a party
Starting point is 00:59:20 or something and you're not going to sit there and measure it out. Oh, let me get my jeweler's loop. You splash, splash, and you don not going to sit there and measure it out. Oh, let me get my jeweler's loop. You splash, splash, and move the tase and pass it on. Splash it, trash it. Put a pencil in it because your friend's a writer and give it away to somebody. Splish, splash, I was taking a bath. It's the copy cordial.
Starting point is 00:59:40 It's a good drink to hang loose to, folks. If you want to be a waxy mustache bro, it's three to folks. If you want to be a waxy mustache, bro, it's three to one. If you want to be fun, splash around. You got a nice even axis. Do you want it spicier? Do you want it sweeter, more cherry? Like, you can't fuck it up too much. Once you find your balance, the sky's the limit.
Starting point is 01:00:03 It's customizable. This guy's the limit. That's customizable. This guy's the limit. That's basically my, those are my final thoughts. It's great. It's an order again and again and again. It's got,
Starting point is 01:00:12 it's got flexibility and latitude. You can express yourself with a drink like this. I like it. Thank you. Now, obviously, it's an order again for me.
Starting point is 01:00:19 Obviously, I like it, but I wanted, I'm just excited to like, to have tapped into the zeitgeist like this and to know that the slop heads like there's so many people that listen to the show and i don't know their individual stylies yet and i look forward to seeing their their stylies you know like because uh hey let's say you're kind of like quirky you know you could come up with all kinds
Starting point is 01:00:42 of different stylies man well tim tim you need if you need to figure out the hashtag so people can fucking yeah yeah hashtag spell out the word hashtag that i don't want to use the sign oh okay that might make things a little harder put it in quotes so it's searchable okay what if okay i knocked my headphones out. What if, you know, let's do another call to action. When you go to your local bar, ask for the Calbee Cordial and record the results. When they say, huh? And don't go to that place in Yucca Valley that gave me tood. I was going to say, Stiley's, Mike, Stiley's is your word, by the way.
Starting point is 01:01:22 I've made a habit of saying, of introducing our episodes with stylies, but I got that from you. Do you remember? I feel like you had a thing with Comedy Bang Bang. Yeah, I was eating pizza in the morning once for breakfast. I said, ooh, breakfast, pizza stylies. Yeah, there you go. That's what it was. So you take it and you make it your own stylies.
Starting point is 01:01:42 That's what stylies is all about. The cool thing about stylies is you can use it. You can talk about your breakfast or you can introduce a podcast episode with it.

That's good. Oh, Tim. I know we were joking earlier, but if you have a hashtag, I think we should come up with a hashtag for people to share their stylies. I mean, the stylies is what you write in the thing you say. I guess it's hashtag Kelpie Cordial. I wanted to do the alliteration. That's good.
Starting point is 01:03:03 Just hashtag Kelpie Cordial. And it's the official spelling of cordial because doing the two K's was cute, but then it kind of felt like I was a clan member. So I don't want to do that. So let's say hashtag Calpy Cordial, and then you write what your stylies is. Great. And if it's original stylies, that's cool OG shit. I love that. And don't do fake stylies.
Starting point is 01:03:24 They have to be real. Do your real stylies. Don't be like, oh, water fake stylies. They have to be real. Do your real stylies. Don't be like, oh, water slide stylies. I got a water slide coming out. What are you talking about? What am I talking about? You can't fit a water slide. Do a real stylies.
Starting point is 01:03:34 The thing about the Calvary Cordial is the sincerity, folks. You're putting your heart on your sleeve when you make this drink, so why be Mr. Cool when you're making your post? Right. How do you think he got all those Emmy noms? Because he said a bunch of shit that didn't matter to him? No, he wrote from the heart. I cut straight to the core.
