Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys, where we take on. I love the flaws. 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. Sailing, take me away. And Tim Kalbagas. Sail away, sail away, what is up? And we are... Enya Stylies.

Is that Enya Stylies. Is that Enya Stylies, I think, Tim was doing? Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. I was listening to a little Enya the other day. I put it on my Spotify. Didn't last long. But I want to hear the...

Enigma. That's Enigma. That's who I was listening to. Yes. Hey-o, yay-o. What's her other banger? Her 90s is like, Who can say where the road goes?

Dead or whole, only time. Pure Moods, man. Pure Moods. Remember when Gregorian Chant was a big thing? We had that chant album. Yes. Remember when Lord of the Dance was a big thing? Yep. that chant album yes remember when uh lord of the dance

was a big thing yep yep yep i do remember yanni at the acropolis yeah not probably as well as you do but yeah i pray to him every morning we're going to yanni at the acropolis again oh um it's funny that the nation goes crazy for a movement a literal movement like Taibo or the Macarena or whatever you ever seen the Shen Yun posters all over the place? everywhere I look

I heard it's good it's fun it's really fun I had really far away I really wanted to go but I was like I can't spend that much on Shen Yun I don't know what it is and I wish I had really far away seats. I really wanted to go, but I was like, I can't spend that much on Shen Yun. I don't know what it is. And I wish I had gotten very close because it's very cool. Good but long?

Very long. Yeah. Very long. Now, isn't Shen Yun some kind of propaganda for some kind of political movement? That's what, well, I think the Chinese government, the one article I read, Chinese government didn't like Shen Yun because it's talking about non-communist stuff. And not in a way that's like, communism's bad, democracy's good,

or whatever the difference would be. Just that they are doing something different. And talking about Chinese history, that communism, I think, is trying to seal away. Oh, damn. Seal away, seal away. Seal away, seal away. Seal away. Seal away.

Seal away. But if you get the opportunity to see it, it's fun. I will. Take a look at this. Me and Jeff drinking silver bullets. What do you think? Ooh, I like that. Hey, what do you think of us?

Yeah, what do you think of us? I like it a lot. Did you... It looks like the mountains aren't blue anymore. They've gone... Tim's are pretty blue. A little bit blue. It's a real beach beer, isn't it?

It's a good beer. You wouldn't find this in the woods. No. On my way here, we should mention I'm here in LA with you two. I've been bouncing back and forth over the country all month. And Mike, I have a new domestic grievance to air. Ooh. Can we save it for a second?

When I was at the Denver airport, I had Coors Banquet at a Coors bar. What's your grievance? I have a few of my own. Oh, boy. Mike, you have grievances about Jeff's apartment that you get to stay in? My free stay apartment. Now, Michael. This is going to be embarrassing.

No, it's just odd. Is the toilet traumatized or what? No, the toilet's fine, actually. He's on the road to recovery. It's odd. Yeah. What could I possibly be doing here that's odd? I've invited you into my home.

I love it here. I like having you around. Yeah, it's fun. But I've been waking up early these days. Going to a shoot, which I'm happy to go to. And I so rely on my coffee when I wake up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know where this is going.

And you know, I set the alarm. I preset it, Tim. A forward-thinking man. The night before, I put the water in, I put the grounds in, and I set it for... And it's automatic bubble? 6.50. It's nice. It's a nice thing.

I don't drink coffee, but I like the aroma. And then I... You hear bubbling, tinkering? And then I... So I wake up in the morning, drink it, and I toil away all day, and I come home and I do it again. Now, two days in a row, I found the coffee machine unplugged. I don't like coffee machines plugged in.

Hey, wait a second. I got home from when Hanford was house-sitting for me, and my coffee machine was unplugged. Now, here's what I... I plug this thing back in and I go to... The unplugger. I'm serial unplugging all over town. I plug it in and I set the brew time and then I look at the clock flashing 12 and I said, well, this is annoying.

Two days in a row, I set both the brew time and the clock again. Are you worried about a fire? Both the brew time and the clock again. Are you worried about a fire? I think I'm worried about... I think my learning as a kid was to unplug the coffee machine because the coffee machine gets hot. No, Jeff just explained a very good reason to leave the coffee machine plugged in.

Sure. He explained it now, two days after the problems happened. Do you recall unplugging my coffee machine? Where is your coffee machine? In the kitchen to the left of the stove. It's a Keurig. I don't know. I don't know if I touched the Keurig.

Mine is... I very well could have. Mine is also on an automatic timer, not to actually start brewing, but to just warm up the water. I came home from my Santa Fe trip unplugged. And I ain't talking about Nirvana. Well, I see. I see.

Yep. Here's I want to talk about something I forgot to mention about staying at Tim's house that I found very funny. Are you going to answer for your crimes? I think I did. I unplugged the two days in a row and I'm probably gonna do it tomorrow. Because as a boy, you just talked to us. No, but if it's... I thought maybe you just forgot about it.

Because remember the other... Last time I was here, we left, and we had forgotten if we turned the oven off. Yeah, yeah. So then I was like, oh, maybe this is the type of residence that lives the way I live. Plug everything when you leave the house. I think that anything that has a clock display on it, you leave plugged in. Sure. Yeah, that's probably right.

Well, you know, this morning, Jeff got up bright and early. He was off to a job. Good for him. Ooh, I know where this is going. And I'm sleeping on the couch. I'm happy to sleep on the couch. I was not offered the bed. His prerogative not to offer me the bed.

Sometimes you let the guests sleep in the bed sometimes you do that um and jeff's in the shower good for him he's showering up for work wakes a lot of people have a clean body good good um oh just as jeff is always keeping a record i just took a shower jeff right before this podcast i didn't shower all day but i just took one enter that in the ledger i appreciate that yeah and uh je And Jeff's alarm went off, and it stayed on, and it just repeated the same song over and over. I don't know what song it was, but I was already up anyway, so it was fine.

Yes. It was fine. It was Morning by Star Slinger. Oh, do you purposely listen to a morning song? I think I did. I'm a creature of habit, so I probably said that four years ago thinking that and then once I said it, that's my alarm for

life. I used to wake up to I did that too. It sucks. Any song that you wake up to, you hate it. Yeah, but what about this? That's good.

I have yet to find something that I like to wake up to. You know what you should try is a little, She's my child. I'm usually going to bed to that. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone. So the funny thing at Tim's house, I was in his freezer because I'd pulled in some meals that came in that were to be frozen.

So I put them in there and I was trying to find room. And I pulled out, way in the back of the freezer, a huge tomahawk beef shank. Yep. It's a tomahawk ribeye. It was so funny. You're like, yep, Tim's got a huge piece of meat on a very long bone. You could have guessed that before opening my freezer. You're

probably a big Fred Flintstone steak. It does look prehistoric. I got as a gift from the in-laws for Christmas. They gave me two big tomahawks from Omaha Steaks. Nice. I immediately cooked one of them and then I'm saving the next one for a special occasion to sinfully savor it is that the thing do you kind of bake one of those things well

really the best surely there's no pan big enough you wanna i can fit it in my cast iron pan oh but here's the problem a steak that thick you can't really pan cook it all the way you gotta blacken it on the outside get a little scald and then you have to oven finish it the rest of the way so it's kind of you know kind of half day process it's your it's your night so that's why i've left that one frozen i like an oven baked steak i like when they do that uh broil is it a Broil, yeah. That's when you turn the flame on in your oven. Right. And that's the hottest it can get, right?

Yeah, it can get real hot. Broil is a weird word, isn't it? Yeah. Broil. I'm thinking of boil. BK broiler. But it's not boil. I like that Omaha steak, though.

I do that for my parents a lot. Good gift. Get a big old pack of filet mignons. Boosh. It's a good wedding gift. You know, you say, hey, housewarming gift. Here's a big pack of filet mignons. Boosh! It's a good wedding gift. You know, you say, hey, housewarming gift is a big pack of steaks. Tell them Tim sent you.

We should tell ACAS to get us hooked up with Omaha Steaks. That's a great idea. I love that company. Here's what's really great about Omaha Steaks. You're thinking, oh yeah, steaks. They got hot dogs. Fish. Fish. They got fish? Fries. Fish, fries, and hot dog.

I sent my friend a bunch of hot dogs and then sausages and all the desserts. And all the rest. All the fixings. I wonder if ACAST could hook us up with a Gold Belly ad. That could be pretty good. You know who's on Gold Belly is Jack Schramm's company, Solid Wiggles. Oh, nice. I just heard them on another podcast, like a

finance podcast. They were talking about like... What are you doing listening to a finance podcast? I'm getting my finances ordered. They had to go on there and talk about their astronomical prices. Yeah. Here's a company that's doing it well, making you pay. Just kidding, Schramm-y, we we love you can't wait to cut into another one of those jiggly cakes hey speaking of celebrity bartender jack shram

um he gave me some good insight you know um we were talking about the underberg little shots yeah we got them at the cider bar almost um i had never had that we were not really familiar with it but a lot of new yorkers hit us up on twitter to say you guys didn't know about that that's like fucking huge like people hold save their caps and they have holsters and yeah yeah yeah shit shrimp we specifically complained about how it's hard there to drink you want to take a shot but you we ended up kind of like gulping like shaking it almost like it was like a fucking bitters bottle going like into our mouths shram said here's what you do coffee straw those little little coffee stir straws fit right in there and if you plug that in the top you can kick the whole thing back in one sip without shaking it.

So you suck it or you tip it back? Shram, bail me out on this one. Shram, we're going to need some video proof. I think you stick it in, it fits perfectly and then you kick it back. I see what you're saying. I don't think I get it. How do you not swallow the straw?

Or once you kick it back the end of the straw. You just sort through your stool. Yeah, you do. Get a shot glass. Do a little. Yeah. And then.

Yeah, that'd be nice. That's one way to do it. Sailing. Take me away. What do we think about some booze news? That sounds fine. Hit it You know what the problem with you two is? The problem is I can't find a problem

I fucking love you guys I spent up all night What's wrong with these two? What's with these guys? How can I take them down guys? There's gotta be something How can I take them down tomorrow? I can't be done It's Spoo's News to you

So we were doing a parody. Saw one today. Really? We were doing a Paradiso. Paradiso. Well, I better get out. Well, is that it for Booze News? That's it for Booze News.

All right. Let me find what I'm going to talk about, because I want to tell you guys about something today. Great. Something that- I learned a lot from you, Mike. You don't know jack shit about, because you know why? Because I didn't know jack shit about it. Because you know why? Because I didn't know jack shit about it.

And we all know the same stuff. So, I want to talk today about the drink of the day. Does this... Have you ever heard this before? Ichi, ni, san, sake bomb! Yes. That is one, two, three, sake bomb. Nice.

Ichi, ni, san, sake bomb. I'll tell you, yes, if I've heard bomb. Nice. Ichi, ni, san. Sake bomb. I'll tell you, you asked if I've heard of it. Yeah, I've heard, not had. I have not had either. Have you had sake? I've had. Oh, you had.

Sake, have you had? I've done the bomb. You've done the bomb, but have you? So you've done sake. Tim, have you had sake? I've had a sake. Sake? Sake.

Sake, I'm calling it. And I like it, I like drinking the hot stuff the cold stuff you're at a Japanese restaurant, you get drunk it's fun, but I'm not even familiar with what's in the bomb I have never had one, I know that there's some sort of chopstick involved over a glass

or something like that but my main thought on it who does this and when have i seen it my friend sean went to siena college and they used to do this thing where like each house in this like line of like on campus townhouses would do a different country so you go in one place and they're like around the world around the world yeah yeah and I and I remember that one of the places that was very very accurate was yeah yeah it's a very great international center was was what was like the beer one would that be Germany yep was it was Did they even have it?

Just lager. I don't remember. I can't even... I actually don't even think I was there for this. He just told me about it, and then I created a memory. He's such a great storyteller, though. You felt like that. He'll spin a yarn.

You probably don't even realize I'm going to hang out with him in Louisville, Kentucky in June. Shit, I didn't realize that. In June? I might even do the Bourbon Trail for all I care. The what? The Bourbon Trail. What's that?

I mean, it's just like what it sounds like. Oh, Bourbon Trail. I thought you were saying something else. Ah, yeah. Common misconception. So the Sake Bomb, we all know this as it's a pint glass of beer. And I'm going to go into the history in a second so you were people at home are saying what the fuck is he doing this is your highly irregular just give us

the broad strokes pint glass uh filled two-thirds of the way up with beer then you balance chopsticks on the top uh-huh like uh going across like a bridge and then then on top of that you put a shot glass of sake. Yeah. I know sake can be served hot. I think we're going to do not hot. I think that's... Yeah. I just have it room temp.

I didn't put it in the fridge. And then you bang on it. You do something like Ichi, Ni, San, Sake Bomb, and then you bang on the table, and then it drops in. So it's the banging on the table that makes the sticks. That's right. That's kind of fun.

That is fun. Ichi, ni, san. I like the Japanese language. I don't know how to speak it at all, but I like hearing it. Me too. It's nice to my ear. Better than German. Ugh.

Sure. Hey. Hey. Let me ask you this. Are you supposed to use like Sapporo or Asahi or i got some uh i got some uh what did i get i got some um asahi yeah that's what i got great that's a nice crisp beer and let me ask you this sake is uh rice wine yep what kind of uh abv we talking on there do you know it's oh i think i may have i think it's. I think I saw maybe it's on the bottle,

but I think 15, we will double check. So it's like wine ask. Yeah. Now who invented this? You probably think, Oh, it was done in Japan first.

Well, it was, that is the story. The most common story that was invented in Japan, but not by Japanese people, by American soldiers occupying Japan. Right. In the years following World War II.

And the theory was that the soldiers got they were drinking bad sake because it was probably not refrigerated correctly because of the bombing and the war and stuff like that, or it was not held correctly. So they didn't like it, and it tasted bad to them, so they were making this sake bomb game

just to kill the time. Very interesting. Reminds me of sort of prohibition era cocktails when their people are saying like oh it was bathtub gin and it was moonshine it was stanky so that's why you had to make a bee's knees right you had to put a lot of sweet stuff in it that that rings a bell because when you said let's do sake bombs i said great that's awesome i love sake bombs but of course I had that little voice in my head. Let's Google and make sure this isn't offensive. Yeah, right. And I did.

And nothing concrete came up. You Googled it and said it's not offensive. It's not offensive. No, no, no. The takeaway was just that it's not offensive necessarily. It's just a bastardization of it's American people doing Japanese culture. And I could see it being offensive the three of us uh doing it i could see it being offensive but i like knowing it the very

least that it's offensive in a sort of appropriation way but it's not about a specific bombing like when we did the irish car we've learned to call them the guin bomb. Yes. We got a little flack, well-deserved flack. It's like specific. That's about an actual bombing in Northern Ireland. And Sasaki bomb, maybe it's some tricky territory for us, but it's not like it's based on a particular tragedy. Right. We don't think so.

Yeah, I don't think it is. I'm hoping. I didn't read anything in my findings that made it seem like it was offensive but i hope and hopefully it's not and uh great things have come from a culture clumsily redoing another culture oh yeah that's where k-pop comes from that's where asian fusion comes from a lot there are a lot of fun things where cultures collide of course you don't want to get into like, hey, I bought this entire blues artist's catalog for $10. Right. There's some flagrant appropriations. Sure.

Where there's a benefiting party. But I think it's good when cultures kind of collide and bounce off each other. And I'm going to call this one of those. This feels like it's done in the U.S. primarily. And it's like college kids or when i was at benihana last i saw it done there like it's a very much a commercialized thing oh that's fun i fucking love benihana what a fun place that's kind of the place the best place to go for like a birthday dinner is benihana yeah um well hold on there's more that about. Yes, yes, yes. I read a couple articles, maybe two short ones.

That's cool. So I think a lot of people, a lot of the U.S. people do not like sake. Like if you were in Japan, you wouldn't do sake this way because it's meant to be like a delicate, a fine spirit, and you sip it, and you enjoy it the way you would do a scotch or a yeah something you like something good yeah but i the problem here so this i read this article and this woman monica samuels national sake sales manager for sake importer vine connections believes that americans have been consuming sake exclusively via via sake bombs for decades because it was extremely difficult until recently to purchase premium sake in the US.

Therefore, as only bad sake was available, we masked it like we would the taste of any cheap booze by dousing it in mixers. In this case, the mixer was beer. So the problem was we didn't have good sake, so it was just like, ooh, that tastes too sweet.

Bang, bang it down. It would be like doing the same thing with a box wine. It's like, oh, this wine is bad. Let's make a fun thing out of it. Or even like a Jaeger. I prefer a Jaeger bomb to just drinking Jaeger. But there's no...

We're going to chug these, right? Do them like bombs? We're doing them like bombs. But there's no reason for that. Like in the bomb category, with the Guinness bomb, you have to chug it. Because when the Bailey's hits the stout, it curdles. And you only have, like, five seconds to drink. Yeah.

Pretty much every other bomb I've ever heard of is just like, it's fun to chug. The things I was reading was like, you drink it fast because the taste is so bad. No, this is going to be fun. No, this is going to be fun. I think it is going to be fun. But this one article was really like, if you've never had one, you might consider yourself lucky. But I love beer and I love Asahi. So that's kind of. This was my first experience with Saki.

Have you had hot Saki that you liked? Because that's been. Have you had hot sake that you liked? Because that's been... Since I moved to LA, when I go to a sushi restaurant, oftentimes I'll split a hot sake and it's delicious. See, the hot... I think I just don't like the hot... I've had sake that I like, but I don't think I like the hot alcohol.

You like a hot toddy, though. Not really. Okay. Because I'm on paper as not liking a hot toddy, and I do love a hot sake. I love hot sake. I love cold sake. I don't order it very much, but if I'm at a sushi bar, then it's sort of when in Rome style.

But do you ever have this problem? Because I don't know the ABV, I do now, I kind of have trouble parsing it out. They give you that porcelain bottle and you pour it into a little porcelain shot glass and you sip it. And I kind of spend my whole night wondering like, how many of these did I have? I see you at a Japanese restaurant.

You're just looking out the window, longing, red-faced, cross-eyed. I won't even know. I'm like, can I drive home or did I just have six drinks? I don't know. Tim, you have to fill your heart. Well, I eat so much of the sushi that I'm blind drunk just off of the goddamn mercury. I ate a whole bunch of sushi today for lunch.

You did? Yeah, I got a cup. Wait, you had sushi and then hot chicken? Yeah. That's right. Damn, what a day. I'm jealous. And you just sat around eating the best

of what's to offer no i didn't just sit around i took a nap and it was one of those weird naps where i i'm still not recovered from it i'm those are my only naps i've never had a good nap it was hot i had a bad dream like a nightmare and i didn't woke up not know where i was so that's where i'm at right now uh here's the last thing I'll say about Oh, I don't think traditionally, it's not necessarily a Japanese beer. It's nice to do with Japanese beer, but I think traditionally it's just like

cheap sake and cheap beer. That's why you drink it fast because it's like bad. But I don't think this will be bad. And I also looked up Asahi made in 1889. now japan i call it asahi acai i think of the berry bowl yeah i looked up on youtube how to pronounce it it was a sahi asahi you're stressing the sahi asahi got it and we'll talk about the can in a minute because I think the can is classic.

Oh, that's a good can. It's a good can. Silver and black, if I'm thinking. And it's got its own shape to it a little bit. It feels like it's out of 1987. Like there's silver black with a little bit of red and it's... Ooh, it's a good... Striking.

Striking. Unique. Well, is there anything else to cover before we... Let me check my notes. No, we are good to go. Folks, we'll be right back with some Shockey Bombs. Enjoy the ads. Yep.

And we're back Ready to do some Sake bombs Alright We got our little Shark glasses Balancing our chopsticks Above our pint glasses Look at how cool

Jeff has a cool Sake set with Some sumo wrestlers on it I got it from Japan My cousin sent it to me Yeah Country duds So we got the

Asahi Asahi Asahi Asahi Asahi Super dry And these bottles are 11.2 fluid ounces You feel it's a little smaller Now when I read the history of Budweiser

I learned that Bud Remember Bud Dry They were modeling that after Dry beers were a big Hit in Japan And then bud was bringing that to the united and would that have been like the late 80s late 80s early yeah late 80s japan early 90s in america and it was sort of like um it's a brewing process that cuts down on the residual sugar yes that's what this says dry and crisp with a quick clean finish there you go

Yes, that's what this says. Dry and crisp with a quick, clean finish. There you go. Speaking of quick, clean finish, let's pound these bombs. I'm getting my things soaked here. Perched just so. Yeah, I just stole a little sip of that acai on its own. That's a delicious beer.

Crushable. Crushable. It's a real porch pounder. I'm going to... Okay, I'll count it off with a new one. Okay. Not the... Not the traditional. Ichi Nissan.

Yeah. This one is... This one is... Okay, ready? Wait, wait, hold on. What do we do? I'm lost. So he's going to do...

I'm going to kind of... So when I say sake, you say bomb. Okay, great. Okay, and then we hit the table? No, when I say sake bomb, that's what we'll go for. When you say sake, I say bomb. And then when you say sake bomb, we hit the table. Yeah.

Wait a minute. Just follow along. When do we hit? My microphone is attached to the table. It's going to be loud. Well, in editing, we'll have to deal with that. Yeah, okay. We'll edit it. We'll deal with it.

We'll edit? Okay. Ready? When I say sake, you say bomb. Sake. Bomb. Sake. Bomb. Sake. Sake. Sake. Bomb. Bomb. Bomb. Sake bomb! Oh, fucking shit.

All foam. Ch. All foam. Chugging foam. Ooh. Ooh. Made a damn mess. Okay. Okay, though. Ooh.

Yeah, that wasn't so bad. Yeah, it made a damn mess is right. It's a good thing we were were we cleared the laptops from the coffee table before we did that jesus because they go in kind of like the the chopsticks don't open just like a trap door it's like they they kind of go in sideways and they flip and flop and they're all over the place basically okay i'm just digesting my sort of tastes i'm finishing mine uh just like a normal bomb you sort of get a lot of beer, beer, beer, and then here comes that sake.

Yeah. Mine was all white foam as I was chugging it, so I feel like I'm going to have a burp attack. Yeah, it's okay. The audience likes that. They do? That's the fan mail I've been reading. We love

those Barney belches. We got to get Beano as a sponsor. Yeah, we finally do our burrito episode. We've been holding off on that. Hey, everybody. You know, Beano turns farts into burps. What? Really?

I think that's what Beano does. Does it turn burps into farts? Because the gas has to go somewhere. I think it just goes from, does. Does it turn burps into farts? Because the gas has to go somewhere. I think it just goes from, instead of down, it goes up. I thought it takes the gas and makes it more dense, and it sinks in your body and just seeps out your feet. You thought that. Seeps out your toenails, yeah.

That's why you have stinky feet. Oh, I got to be honest. You're fucking nuts. Well, that was fun. That was very fun. I like the pounding on the table. It was fun for me. Felt like I was taking part in a sport.

Okay, Beano stops the formation of gas before it starts, apparently. So what about your theory? Wrong. Okay, so is my theory then even more wrong? Out the feet? Yeah, sleeping out your toenail. That is so far still on the table. Yeah, sleeping out your toenail. That is so far still on the table.

Yeah, it doesn't say it doesn't happen. It doesn't say it doesn't do that. Yeah, that was fun. And I didn't think it tasted bad. No, it tasted good. All the articles I was reading was like, if you have to do it, you'll have fun, but it's going to taste bad. People say that shit with everything.

You know, you'll be like, I'm going to have a fucking Budweiser. And people are like, that tastes like piss. Budweiser is delicious. I don't like the people who say a beer tastes like piss. Everything tastes good. You're drinking it. You're happy. He's drunk.

I mean, have you ever had a drink? No, yeah. I mean, Mike, you don't like the drinks ever on this show. No, I don't like the drinks on this show. I was going to say, if you've ever had a drink? No, yeah. I mean, Mike, you don't like the drinks ever on this show. No, I don't like the drinks on this show. I was going to say, if you've had a drink you didn't like. Yeah. You don't like any of the drinks on this show, but you've had drinks elsewhere you like, right? Yeah, and the drinks I don't like on this show, I don't like them in the category of order again.

Right. You know what I mean? I think really the only, the beef one I didn't like. One of the best ones? Yeah, Bullshot, baby. It was cold beef broth that did it to me. And the sake we have is 15% alcohol.

Let's take a little sip and pass it around. It's good! I don't like that. Tim, just... Yeah, there you go. I don't like that Tim just yeah there you go I don't like it because it's too much like what ricey no it's too much like

like champagne like champlain yeah that's a lot of it you know what normally I call you a crazy a nut bag and stuff like that but it does kind of taste like champagne flat champagne it's it's like

you know i used to really hate chardonnay until a bartender said no no you just don't like chardonnay that's in barrels you gotta try some steel cask Chardonnay. Okay. Is that me? I think I told you. Yeah, you told me that. But let's give me some buttery Chardonnay vibies. It's, yeah, and I think if I had good sake, I would like it.

Yes. I think if it was done properly, either heated or chilled or whatever. You want the finest gourmet. Mm-hmm. I think that would be good to eat. Which didn't end great. But the clattering made, it was so much clattering noise, I was like, surely one of these shot glasses is broken and one of us is going to pull their glass away and have blood gushing all over. And the splash was very bad. Yeah.

But it kind of went straight up in the air. They all went in at least i was expecting one of the shot glasses just bobble off the side and make a big mess yeah i thought i was gonna land on my crotch and i was having to be like it spilled i didn't pee my pants you saw it yeah and then be like yeah maybe i'll take the opportunity to do a little wheezing yeah hey while my crotch is wet when i don't I just piss all over myself? Have you ever dipped a sleeping person's hand in water to make them piss? I think probably like a sleepover as a kid, but it never worked.

You know what I did was I was having a sleepover, ninth grade. And who falls asleep first? Tim. Sal. Oh, Sal got it good, I bet. So what do I do? I'm in my jackass era. I take a cup of water and I pour it on Sal's crotch while he's sleeping expertly.

The simulated piss. My other friends. So in this case, Sal has no idea what's going on he's asleep so i was asleep great um i want to say that we were gathered to maybe watch some ufc or something like that which is not really my style ifc tim ifc yeah always on slightly off um i said to my friends and they were, and we, so then we said nothing. Sal's got a wet crotch. Let's leave it at that. So then we're watching TV. Sal wakes up as a kind of a realization.

He's all wet, says nothing, stands up, leaves the room, goes to the bathroom, changes, comes back wearing a different pair of shorts because he had brought clothes with him, lays back down on the ground, Kandi's watching TV and we're like, hey Sal, how'd you change your shorts? And then he was like, you fucking dicks! But it was so funny

that he thought he pissed himself. Yeah, he just quietly did it. He just went and changed. Well, I better take off these pissy boxers and put on fresh new ones I remember I remember like sleeping over at someone's house

and like what did you say freshman year or high school and being like okay you know we're sleeping here tonight okay and then just being like

well where do we sleep we need blankets and stuff and the kid whose house it was would be like yeah I think there's some in the basement I'm gonna go sleep in my bed and you sleep on like the ground under a sheet or something.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. That shit sucks. Oh, that sucks. Do you ever,

do you guys ever wake up? Like if you're traveling or something, wake up and not know where you are all the time. That's a, yeah, it happened. I'll wake up in my current bed right now. And,

and like the lights are on. I think I'm in my childhood bed and I'll be like, wait a second. Wow. That was 30 years ago. I was, uh, I are on, and I think I'm in my childhood bed. And I'll be like, wait a second. Wow. That was 30 years ago. I was on vacation once up in the Adirondacks, kind of near you. Hell yeah. And we were in these little cabins, and it was such that if the windows were open, maybe you could hear some waves lapping, some lake waves lapping against some of the door.

Yeah, you get those big Lake George tsunamis. Yeah. But I woke up in the middle of the night and i it was so dark i didn't know where i was but i heard the waves and i was kind of still sleeping and i thought like i was like teetering off the side of my bed yeah and i thought like i would have fallen like i was on the dock and i would have fallen into the water it was where my head was at because i was still asleep. I was also kind of paralyzed. Sleep paralysis.

It felt like an hour of me just being like, oh man, I'm going to fall in. I just got to roll back. Why can't I roll back? I remember that to this day. I've got to talk to a shrink about that. What does that mean? He's going to say, it means you slept

by a lake once. It means you belong in a loony bin, my friend. I'm surprised you didn't piss those boxers full. Oh, I had been pissing my boxers. Still pissed the boxers. Oh, you pulled us out, huh? I had a dream. This is a weird one, which is strange because I'm not a weird guy at all. I had a dream to my

bed. I didn't want to tip off either side of my bed because I was like on one side is the pacific ocean and on the other side is um atlantic cape cod uh cape cod sound that's a big bed big bay cape cod bay that's a big bed my thought my bed was cape cod and i thought one side was the bay and the other side was the ocean wow can you believe that the atlantic and the in the bay the atlantic ocean and the cape cod bay that's wild yep um it was weird i'll have that a lot where like i know i'm in my bed so it's not really a dream but like my thoughts are nonsense is this a dream yeah and i'll do that a lot where like uh sometimes i'll go to bed with a problem

to solve like a script problem or a work problem. Math problem. And I'll spend the whole night like, hmm, I'm working on that math problem. Yeah. And then it's like the next morning, I'm like, I fucking spent eight hours thinking about that thing. And it was all muck in my brain. Yeah. I didn't have a good sleep, nor did I get any of the math problem.

Yeah, yeah. The thing that happens to me a lot is I'll have an idea, like a dream, or being half asleep, and have a good idea, something I think is funny, and then be like, I should get myself together right now

and get my phone out and write this down. Yeah, no tap. And I always, always in that state, I'm like, I remember this. You're like,

this one's so good, I'll remember it. It's so good. Fuck. I always write it down. Because you only remember, you only remember that you're like fuck i always write it because you only remember you only remember that you had a good idea you had an idea oh that's the word but here's the thing oftentimes i will write something down and it only makes sense given the half sleep weirdo context that i had the thought in so i wake up in the morning and i'm like jetpack mishap what

the fuck does that yeah what was wrong i thought what was wrong with you? I thought that was like a genius idea. That is kind of good. Isn't there a Seinfeld about that? Like Flaming Loaves of Zygmunt or something like that? Yeah, it's... It's like Jerry falls asleep watching a sci-fi movie and then he wakes up later thinking he has a funny idea and he just writes down a line from the movie.

He's like, that's it! That's not funny! That's not funny! Early Larry appearance. Yep's like, that's it! That's not funny! That's not funny! Early Larry appearance. I got a dating pet peeve. You ready for this? Falling off the edge of the bed? Never fun, right?

You're sharing a bed with a girl and she's like, you shouldn't be there yet, but okay. She's in the middle of the bed. You're on the wayside stuck with just scraps yeah the way that early man used to chase buffalo off a cliff oh wow that's how i feel like i feel like the early buffalo sometimes that girl's gotta go you know women can be so cruel to us i think you did the other one right up there, snoring.

Yeah, sure. If you find yourself in cahoots with a snorer. What about the blanket theft? I'm not so bad about that. I just don't like to be chased off the edge like a buffalo. You don't like to be chased at all. That sounds like it. Tim, good one.

That sounds like it. Thank you. Chasing off the edge. They you. Chasing off the edge, they used to chase buffalo off the edge to kill them? Yeah, because early man, because you could stab them like a bunch with crude weapons. So then they would just collect them at the bottom?

Yeah, yeah. I didn't know that. They wouldn't even have to be a cliff. It would just be like you tip them over. You chase them. The human race can figure, solve problems when necessary. One time a girl got mad at me because she was chasing me off the edge. And I woke up and I said, fuck this. I look on the other side of her.

A whole open plane of bed, unused. Unused? Unused. And I said, you know what? Fuck this. I'm going on the other side. And I hopped over. Oh, I've done that.

Flipped the script on her. One time this chick was using up too much of the bed and i went people pile driver baby one time i was when i was sleeping with uh john cena i was in bed with a lady and i said you know are you comfortable she said i could actually use a little more room i said take all the room you need. I can go sleep on the couch. I can sleep in the tub. I can stand up for the whole night.

I'll sleep on the razor's edge. I'll live on the edge. It was with Steven Tyler. He said, live on the edge. You owe me, my man. Steven, Steven. One time I was sleeping on the stack of mattresses, but there was a pee underneath. I was like, oh, that's hurting my ass.

It sounds like Sal was there. Yep. Pissing the bed. You know, when I made fun of Sal, we were all laughing at Sal. And he was like, what was I supposed to do? Stand up and tell you guys my underwear is wet? That went exactly how it was supposed to go. That's what I would do.

It's no win for Sal there. Hey, who put water in my underwear? Decisions were made while he was asleep. Yeah, you got to hand it to Sal. I had a dream. Do people... I kind of like hearing about people's dreams. I know it's like...

Not me. Yeah. I'm not going to tell you about my dream this afternoon. No, you can. Because I don't remember much of it. I'll listen because it was a nap dream. That's different. It was a nap dream.

I had this feeling... A nap dream. I was working in this kind of like mine mining area. You know the Yeah, we know what a mine is. What's that? No, no, no. Like the shafts and all the What's that movie? It's a zombie movie where they go down

below the earth. Day of the Dead. The best. I love zombie movies. Tim. Well, it's like one of those situations, but we're mining or something, and it's a bad guy who's leading everybody, and he's going to kill us. Wait, the bad guy's leading everybody? He's going to kill you? Who's we? Who are you with?

Just the other workers. I didn't know any of them. Faceless? Faceless, facing the crowd. And I got wise to this, but I couldn't move to do anything about it. Oh, yeah. I was stuck. A common dream thing is just being ineffectual, unable to punch, unable to run.

The flying dream is a nice one. I hate it when I... I'll have a dream where I can't suplex, can't pile drive, can't do the people's elbow. Yeah. I'll have a dream where I can't sell a feature to a major studio. I'll have a dream... Ultimate nightmare. I'm sitting in front of the most delicious feast, a major studio. I'll have a dream. Ultimate nightmare. I'm sitting in front

of the most delicious feast, a royal feast, suckling pig, tarts, pies, roast duck, roast duck, and I'm sitting there and I'm tucked in.

I've got my bib on, but I haven't a utensil. Nothing but a salad fork. No utensils? No utensil eye. And I know Mike would since dig in without a fine utensil in hand. That is not even a wooden slotted spoon. Okay.

Looks like the Socky Bums have done their work. Yeah, they've done their work. Oh, that was quick. Okay. Looks like the Socky Bombs have done their work. Yeah, they've done their work. Oh, that was quick. Quick. We should probably do another one. We should probably do another one. Folks, when we come back, Socky Bombs round two. Socky Bombs, Socky Bombs, oh, Socky, Socky Bombs.

Lollipop and we're back with round two of Socky Bombs now who does anyone want to do the count off on this one you had a you had a good one

I like these three words. Okay. Ishi, ni, san, slavibam! Slavibam! Oh, holy fuck. Oh, fuck me. Yeah, mine fell sideways. Buh! Oh. Buh! And a bur from me jeff in the editing i don't know if you should uh keep leave in or keep the leave in or take out the why people love it you know what the only thing that we've get uh bad comments on is eating at one point in one of the blowouts, we were

eating barbecue chicken off mic and it got on mic a little bit and people were grossed out by it. When you say off mic, you mean I was laying down and you were using music? You were laying down nude and we were eating barbecue chicken off you? Well, they could hear fork on plate and chicken in mouth.

Wait, was this when we were here and you made me a chicken sandwich? Yes. So was it me eating? It was after we went to Dave and Buster's. I was lip smacking. No, it was me too. Well, I get a lot of negative comments about my co-hosts. People will say Tim, I

feel like Tim is pretty much my boy at this point. But they love his co-host, right? Is that what it was? My boy at this point. No, that's true. It's a lot of positive stuff about my co-host. that what it was my boy at this point no that's true it's a lot of positive stuff about my co-host tim is pretty much my boy at this point and i love tim and i love his two co-hosts and folks i gotta remind you when we hit the road that's your opportunity to come and meet us in the flesh and air your grievances yeah that's exactly what i want to say to my face have problems with this show. You know what I love about the tour?

We're going to show off our musicality. On this show, people drink, they podcast. No, we're musicians. I don't think I'm going to have a drink on the whole tour because I'm focused on the music. The music is what drives me. This podcast you love so much,

that's the third best comedy podcast on planet Earth, Side Hustle. You're on planet earth side hustle you're listening to a side hustle you've been side hustled folks we love notes rest even the rest notes actually the rest rest notes most of all yeah i like to think that when we're not on stage it's just a 23 hour rest yeah whole notes and rest notes mike you look like you've got a quiz let's wrap up oh okay wrap up

okay final thoughts let me okay final thoughts for the sake bomb Tim order again fun did I like the taste I don't know but I enjoyed I enjoyed myself doing this. Inconclusive. I think that Asahi on its own is a really good beer,

and I maybe would like that more than a Sake Bomb. But do I like dropping and splashing and chugging? Yes! Right, right, right. Yeah, it is fun. I think I tasted the Asahi more than I did the Sake. That time? Yeah.

Yeah. That was a sloppy splash this time. These guys went in sideways. My shot glass fell sideways and it really disoriented me, but look. Asahi. Great. Our Saki was actually not bad either. I really enjoyed that. But are they two great tastes that are great together? I don't know.

Still, it's a stone cold classic. Yeah! I bet it would be even stoner colder classic if this whole thing was ice cold and if that sake had been in the fucking freezer or something. Yeah, maybe if my house guests had actually cooled down the drinks before we fucking drank them.

Instead of napping and sushi and fucking hot chicken every fucking minute. That's true. I did work on the next questions for Lennon. Hey, that's great. That's your thing, man. It's our thing now. Well, earlier in this pod,

Nintendo was brought up, and I made a big point. You know Nintendo. Who knows Nintendo more? We'll get ready for the Nintendo quiz. Get the fuck out of here. This is perfect, because I said I love geek shit. Who knows Nintendo more? I know Nintendo. Well, get ready for the Nintendo quiz. Get the fuck out of here. This is perfect because I said I love geek shit. You like geek shit.

Jeff has computer stuff. But hold on, hold on. Tim, you often put geek culture on blast. Ooh. And I laugh along with you. But here's the thing. You do know NES. I know NES and I know Star Wars.

And the only reason I shit-dug geek shit is because of its encroachment into the comedy landscape. And nobody likes G4 TV and that shit. I'm fine with that. I just don't like comedy. You're fine with that? I mean, I'm fine with it existing. I'm not going to touch it with a 40-foot pole. I don't like these comedy people.

They're like, yeah, I'm a comedy writer. And you're like, have you ever written a joke? And they're like, no, but comedy writer and you're like have you ever written a joke and they're like no but you Gandalf yeah yeah so you're a you make more money than me yes I make references

We're talking about that Japan came out of Japan So did Nintendo So here we go, the Nintendo quiz Okay, I hope Jesus Christ Normally I edit out the burps That one's staying in Now this is interesting because

Common wisdom would say normally I edit out the burps that one's staying in now this is interesting because you know common wisdom would say that Dutton is going to mop the floor with me but I did have a major

NES era I just haven't revisited I bet Jeff plays an emulator every day yeah we're going to see how this goes we're going to see

Oh. Interesting. Okay. in 1889? Asahi. Interesting. Founded as Nintendo Karuta. Nintendo was founded in 1889? You'll find out how in this. And they made video games. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Founded as

Nintendo Karuta in 1889. They were originally a company who produced and distributed Hanafuda. What is Hanafuda? Playing cards. Bingo. Did you know that or was it a guess? That's a pretty good guess.

M-A-R-I-O space K-A-R-T. Bingo. It's the K for the K-Man. That's pretty good for me. Here we go. In Mario Kart, what does the spiny shell do? It goes to the first guy and kills him. That's right.

Fuck. Knocks out the leader. Knocks out the leader. Dangerous. Dangerous. That's pretty good. Jeff has a cocktail arcade cabinet in his house ms pac-man uh hold on a second the cocktail arcade cam the low one the sitting one sure that he says works sometimes

true or false should he get rid of it yes true false it's fun as fuck to play. But it only works sometimes. No one gets that point. Look, it turns on great. It turns off weird. I have to dig in. Yeah, but leave it on. Hey. Next question.

You had to crack the case there, too. In Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, who kidnaps Zelda? Ganondorf. Ganondorf. That's right? Ganondorf. Ganondorf. That's right. Ganondorf? You got Ganondorf. That sounds like Gandalf.

Or Ganon. Same guy. True or false? I have played Zelda. I have played a Zelda game. True. False? It never looked fun to me.

Oh! You don't like a swords and sandals epic? No. Even the NES one just looked like you moved the squares. Yes, yes, but what about Ocarina of Time? Never played. You've never had the thrill of

riding Epona? No, not once. Riding Epona! So Jeff now has let's see here. One, two, three. Jeff has five. Tim, you boner. Riding a boner. So Jeff now has, let's see here. Yeah. One, two, three. Jeff has five.

Tim, you have one. Oh, my God. Do I have any side points even? Well, we might have to get into some side point stuff. Let me see how the rest of this goes. Not necessarily a Nintendo game. What has been my favorite video game in the last 12 years? 12 years?

Halo. No. Tapper. No. Not necessarily a Nintendo game. Galaga. Not necessarily a Nintendo game. Tetris?

Pong. Nope. Dr. Mario. I say not necessarily a Nintendo game because it's a PS game. Donris? Pong? Nope. Dr. Mario? I say not necessarily a Nintendo game because it's a PS game. Don't say anything! PS. Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Ooh. Puzzle Fighter.

Nope. Doc Man. Dave Nero. BMX. Nope. Do you play it? Do you have... I've played it when it came out. I was able to play it on... It was actually Chris's Xbox I played it on. Bashy Bashy Tower. Nope.

Well, so was it 12 years ago? Oh, Red Dead, Red Dead. Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead Redemption. I really enjoyed that game, and I never got a chance to play Red Dead 2. That's really sad. Mike, you're a successful podcaster.

You could rectify that. That's true. I should give them Red Dead 2. Hey, we're a successful podcaster. You could rectify that. That's true. I should give them Red Dead 2. Hey, we should join Twitch as Gamer Bros. Can we play Red Dead 2 there? We should be called the Gamer Bros. The Gamer Bros. We should change the name of this podcast to Gamer Bros.

We'd get rich and famous. People love geek shit. Yeah, they love geek shit. Next question. On March 19th, 2013. Okay, hold on. Where was I? Okay, I'm there.

March 19th, 2013. Nintendo began- We're writing season one of Birthday Boys. Yeah, yeah. March 19th, 2013. Yeah. Nintendo began the year of Luigi. This included a year of Luigi-themed games like Luigi's Mansion, Dark Moon, Dr. Luigi, Mario and Luigi Dream Team, and New Super Luigi U.

When did the year of Luigi end? December 31st, 2013. What'd you say? I just said 2014. So, basically the same answer as Tim. March 19th, 2014. That's why I made such care to say that. Why did they do it on March 19th and not January 1st?

I don't think. Because it was a whole year. It must be his birthday. Year of Luigi. They made Dr. Luigi like Dr. Mario. They just changed him to Luigi. I guess so. I played Luigi's Mansion at Dave & Buster's.

You suck up the ghosts. You know what we got to do is that VR shit. I know. We got to do that VR shit. I know. But I don't know where. Okay. So it's pretty much Jeff has six to one, I think.

Yeah. No. For real? Mm-hmm. Hold on. Do you want to use any side points? You have some side points saved up from last. I don't want to use. For real? Mm-hmm. Hold on. Do you want to use any side points? Tim, you have some side points saved up from last. I don't want to use any side points, but I have one question.

Can I hex tuple my single point? Is that what you wish? I wish to, yeah. Because this game allows that. So, Tim, you're telling me you're using a Link-like potion. Yes. Oh, interesting. Is that something they would use in their Ocarina of Time? Yeah, big time. Okay. that so tim you're you're telling me you're using a link like potion yes oh interesting is that something they would use in their own yeah big time okay so you're gonna use your link potion

and if you dip that on your one point it gives you uh six points which no it gives you five points so you guys are tied yeah right now so great that's perfect that works out so perfect so i'm gonna even put the score sheet away because I don't need to look at it anymore. This is the last question. Wow. Okay. Within 10 years. Okay. Slow down.

Slow down. Within 10 years. How old is Toad? 50. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

Within 10 years. Toad's age be? How old is Toad? I'm going to say Toad is fucking 12. Do you think it's like the character's age or the age since he first appeared? I think it's his canonical age. Am I wrong? I will tell you this.

You're both wrong. 50 and 12 is not within 10 years. 50 and 12 is not within 10 years. 50 and 12 is not within 10 years. Yeah, if you went 10 years higher than 50 or 10 years lower than 50, you wouldn't hit his age. Okay, but we're still talking about his canonical age. The age that it says online.

I'm like Martin Brothers. 37. I'll take it. No questions asked. You've got it Tim 37? he's 32 he's 32 that's perfectly weird

if he were a baby that makes sense or if he's really old you're like oh he's a mushroom whatever but 32 it's like the average age of a sloppy voice listener If he were a baby, that makes sense. Or if he's really old, you're like, oh, he's a mushroom, whatever. But 32. It's like the average age of a sloppy voice listener. I think Toad might be a fucking Patron, man. But here's the thing. In this same wiki article, it said his age is 32.

He's born July 30th, year unknown. Okay. So how can you? Well, you know, one of the early development names for Mario was Osan, which meant middle-aged man. Oh. Ah. So Mario is also. I think Mario's 41.

If I looked it up. Yeah, all right. That's good. Yeah, Toad's 32. So, Tim, you won the Nintendo. Wow. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. So you, Tim, really is the. You snaked it right out from under me. I love geek shit. I, Tim, you won the Nintendo. Wow, thank God. I can't believe it. So, Tim really is the...

You snaked it right out from under me. I love geek shit. I tried to tell you guys this. Jeff, I tried to make up a quiz that you could only win. You're the Nintendo guy. I'm taking you guys to Comic-Con next year, and you have to dress as the Marvel guys. Oh, yeah. No!

No. Which ones? No! I can't believe that. You have to dress as the avengers endgame cast how how badly would it flip people's wigs if i went to comic-con with wolverine claws yeah and a fucking batman cowl yeah what's it you can't mix things for dc and martha you get them yeah slice his ass um i was walking down the street recently and i saw were you guys with me i saw a guy dressed like joker and a girl dressed like uh uh harley quinn do you were you there no

so how'd you guess harley quinn because i figured that's who's hanging out with joker sounds terrifying so i'm walking down the street i see a guy guy dressed as Joker and a lady dressed as Harley Quinn. I go, that's kind of fun. It's just a normal day. They're dressed up. Then as I walk past, they're doing the voices. Oh, no. Oh, like her voice is like, oh, how you doing?

Hi, Mr. J. Yeah. And they were like, it was like basically like for my benefit. They're talking to each other, but like in character. This is why I don't like to geek shit. Was it for your benefit uh yeah big time how did it sound i was doing like uh he sounded fucking awesome he was doing the paul dano that's riddler yeah that's more of a drag dude okay so um just so that the geeks don't kill me here, let me name every Joker. Ready?

Caesar Romero. Oh, whoa. Jack Nicholson. Jack. The voice of Mark Hamill. Nice. And who could forget? Why so serious?

Heathie. Heathie. Why so sinister? And don't forget, keep going. Jared. Yep. He went to Jared our neighbor yep former neighbor

that guy sucks huh nobody likes him also Colty and uh Me Tooie who? Me Tooie?

yes I don't know should we say that sort of shit on here I mean yeah probably I'm putting my chips on Me Tooie Jared Leto

in like three years. Why not? Fuck him. I'll me too him right now. And also, as an actor, don't like him. He haunts good movies. I don't like that.

Yeah. Has he ever done anything good? I've never seen Dallas Buyers Club. Is he good in that? I saw it. He's thin. He's thin. Thin as in.

Yeah, thin as in. He's in Requiem. You should see him walking around in a ****, thin as in. He's in Requiem. He, I think. We used to see him walking around. Remember? Yeah, he was our neighbor. Does he still live there? Believe it.

Yes. I'm going to say he does. Also, Fight Club, he pops up in. Blade Runner, the new one he pops up in. 2049? Yes. Yeah, that's a tough one to get through. Mike and I have been watching it in small bites.

People love it. Okay, this has been a long pod. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Sorry, we had to geek out. Okay, hold on. Geeked out again. Chewbacca signing off.

That's our show. Follow us on social media, at The Sloppy Boys, where we release these recipes ahead of time. Bye, Chewbacca. Bye, Che bye chewbacca bye oh there he goes he light speeded away chewy go home yeah go back to your home on endor help me chewy you're my only hope endor was originally supposed to be a planet of wookies but they didn't have the budget so they shrunk them down in other ewoks they didn't have to me that's a happy accident i feel like the ewoks are iconic but they're similar to the jawas but here's the other thing tim i know you like star wars when you were a kid did you like the ewoks because i did

yeah um the jaded teens at the time disavowed the ewoks i could see that that if you're if you're an adult or a jaded teen you'd say this is cute shit but i was a kid but i've we've talked before on the pod i used to rent jedi all the time and only watch the beginning just jabba's palace up to the sarlacc pit so i've i've i've probably seen like the endor stuff less 30 times but i've seen jabba's Palace 300 times. And we concluded it was because of that Leia bikini. No, I aged into it. When I was young, I was looking and I said, I have no feelings. Tim, we're all friends.

You don't have to. No, no, I didn't know. When I was a baby. Yeah. Mike, you and I watched the Jabba's scene. I got the, what do you call it? I got some Blu-rays of just the prints from 1977 and 81 and 83. None of that new shit.

None of that special edition. Yeah. And it's got squiggly lines and stuff. It's got squiggly lines and dust scratches all over it. So you're watching it like a real hick in the middle of nowhere, 1983. Wow. That's Darth Vader. Lando's there?

When's he going to do something? He's got a laser sickle. Seeing Lando for the first time and being like, wow, Lando's in this movie? They got R2 serving drinks? Wow, Cloud City. Never thought I'd get to be like, wow, Lando's in this movie? They got R2 serving drinks? Wow, Cloud City. Never thought I'd get to visit there. You know when they do new episodes of this, Metachlorians is going to be the whole issue with the forest.

As I live and breathe, Admiral Ackbar. If you got a long piece of flesh wrapped around your neck, you might be Big Fortuna. Okay, okay. Yep. Yes. And folks. Now. Ooh, Timmy. He really did watch them.

A true geek after all. I love geek shit. I'm going to Comic Con. That's why I won the Nintendo quiz. Alright, folks. What if this podcast was in the MCU? We gotta do that! All right, enough, Tim. Okay.
