0:00Mutants. Born different. Born into a world that hates and fears them. Some mutants believe that they are superior to humans. Destins replace them. Others fight for peaceful coexistence with mankind. I'm mutant expert Ducks. Join me all month long as I present four X-Men films to prove to my co-hosts that they're better than the average capeshit. I have selected X-Men, X2, X-Men United, X-Men first class, and X-Men days of future pass. It's a once-in-a-lifetime blowout of end. Will Tim open his heart to mutants or will he cling to his haters ways? Will Mike even watch the right movies? That's right folks. It's X-Muff. This March only on the blowout. X-Muff. Go to patreon.com slash the sloppy boys. X-Muff. From the guys that brought you Zabibuva both. What a weird thing for me now that I know there's like here I'm living my life in February. Everything's great. The next
1:02month I'm living is a whole bad month for me. It's just that life will be a negative and really bad. But it is exciting for me. The definition of a blind month. I don't know shit. Like I know Professor X. I know Storm. I know Colossus. Interesting. Okay. I assume they go to battle some evil and now that I say it out loud. That evil is probably Magneto. But what's the deal with Magneto? Is he himself a mutant who went bad or has he anti-mute? And I don't know why he's the villain. Who Tim? I can't fucking wait to show you this shit. I live an on the go lifestyle. That's why I'm going on tour to see all the sloppy boys shows this spring. Los Angeles March 20th at Zabibuva. Phoenix March 21st at Valley Bar.

I'm Jeff Dotton along with Michael Hanford. Hi. And Timothy Calpacas. What do you use up? I you know, Timmy, you always you come in with the what is up and that's your catchphrase and your known for it. I sort of have settled into high as mine. It's just because I've I've run out of things to say. Now, but that's my catchphrase. I should have fucking been doing something better than that. Your catchphrase is high. Yeah,
3:05but said like, hi. Oh, hi. We could be printing t-shirts that say hi and everyone will be like, oh, the Mike Hanford catchphrase, but then we'll put sheet music against two notes. Hi. Oh, yeah, maybe that's good or we can have like the HP lowercase and then a lowercase I and then a couple uppercase eyes. Hi, we could we could go lots of directions with this thing. This is fruitful. We can do a lot of things. I mean, we could maybe not even stop at three lowercase eyes. We got a lunch, lunch a new online shop for all this stuff we're going to be doing here. Oh, there reminds me folks go online to sloppyboys.com and check out the merch. Oh, yeah, we got to have new stuff up there by now. We should do it. We should do it. What is up shirt? Folks, we got new broken Bailey merch out. You got to get the new character from the sloppyboys LLC. Oh, yes, yes. That's good. It's happening now alive. Now it's good. Merch. You need it for March. I mean, March March. Yeah,
4:06get your merch and March. Always. I mean, a lot of people do that. You know, it's good. It's it's St. Pat's, right? It's it but he's not he's not Irish. He's Scottish, but you can see why it works for St. Pat's, can't you? Brogan Bailey. It's Pat adjacent. It's Pat adjacent. And he's got so many phrases that he could say. And you know, I think he even fought with the Irish. Oh, that's it. That's where he came from. He is heroic. Not unlike the heroes we talked about. And we'll be talking about for the rest of March. X month over on the blowup. X month. If you know about the blowout, folks, if you're a patron, as we call them, get yourself over behind the he tree on the wall, the paywall over patreon.com slash the sloppy boys. And we do every single week we do an episode that is how do we describe it better than this episode? Yeah, that's where you get the good stuff. And all this month, the March, we're
5:10talking about X men. X X. Oh, hey, Mike, before the pod, you said something about a turd. What was that? Yes. I did. It was in your private life. It reminded me of something I've been trying. I said, yes, I was like, oh, I just got off the phone with turd Ferguson. And normal, Donald character, weird. Yeah. Yeah, we were just saying the word turd, weren't we? You refer to Mookie's, my favorite, a Mookie Halloween costume turd Ferguson. Oh, yeah. Or the television character. But yeah, sure, I guess he's not, he's Bert Reynolds. Yes, he puts on a big hat and then he changes his name. Big hat. Yes. Okay. And Jeff, you had a funny little phrase. And what was, yes, because Mike, you were talking about a song and you were like, hey, yeah, now when I play that song, I can do it without leaving a, leaving a turd in my pants. Like it's a, I was making a reference to being scared about something. One of our own
6:12songs. Yes, yes, yes. That's yes. But it made me think of a funny phrase that I want to, I want to use. And folks, this is part of the reason you listen to sloppy boy's podcast is culture starts here. You know, we're not reflecting it. We're starting it. This is ground zero. It ends here too. It starts at ends here. We pick up a lot of phrases. One, I remember a long time ago, I had the boss's dog. Like, if something's really good, you know, that's the boss's dog. That wouldn't take off. Yeah. I wouldn't think that would take off. Go ahead. But this one is good. I just, I dimmed my pants, dimmed my pants. Oh, like you, like you peed in them a little bit. No, like, you know, when you dim the lights, you like darken the room. You know, you sort of like the overall shade of the pants does get dark. You dim your pants. That's you, you know, you sort of, yeah, you make a mess. This is going to be that type of thing. You make a mess. But, but a PG 13 mess are we talking,
7:15NC 17, you darken, you darken your BVDs. Okay. Okay. I was catching up on RuPaul's Drag Race, Jeff, and they now are saying, oh, that was the boss's dog. That look. That look you just did. Oh, my, well, I have to say that dress, that hair, that is all the bosses dog now. Do they claim me? Yeah. RuPaul looks to the camera and says, Jeff, you are the real pisses. Me, me, baby, you are the real boss's dog. That's a great RuPaul impression from 10, too. Yeah, baby. RuPaul's always sitting there, sitting there in the judge panel, smoking a big cigar. You got it. You're the boss's dog, Jeffy, baby. Boy, um, hey, um, you know what's coming up as the Oscars and I just, I was looking over the best picture noms and I'm actually for a non-film guy.
8:19I was thinking about this when you're talking about the X-Men films we've been viewing for a non-film freak. I'm doing pretty good on my terms. Pretty good as far as how many of the films I've seen. So in this home stretch here, I'm going to, I think I'm going to try to complete watch and at least the best picture noms because I've seen a decent chunk of them. Um, so what's what you see? Well, if you see the best picture noms, most likely you're going to see the best supporting actor, the best supporting actress, the best, you know, lead role now. You're going to see those guys anyway. Yeah, a lot of crossover. They, they collapse. Yeah, a lot of times the best director will have collabed with the best supporting actors. Yeah, it's a lot of insider shit. Now, if you're, if you, if you, now here's a real move, if you fucking knew all the movies from like the short animation list or the, uh, foreign movies, then you'd be the boss's dog, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You ain't going to be dimming those pants. That's right.
9:20White. Right. White. How many, how many best picture noms are there? 10, 10, like 50, they do 10 now. And, you know, they do a spread where there's some, um, there's a lot of like nice spread. They put, they throw stuff like F1 in there now to be like, yeah, right. Right. F1, F you, they should say that one. They can't read the nominate. I'm looking at the website. Yes. That's a good monologue joke. That's somebody's going to say that who's hosting? Do we know? Uh, Conan, Conan. Oh, good. Corrigan O'Borgon. Um, hey, what a great, like, uh, third act, I guess, we're calling in of that as the guys lost his show show. And then, I mean, obviously he's a enormously successful podcaster. But so are we in what a gig to land on? Like, one day a year, you put on a tux in the whole world watches you and he's good at the job. Uh, he's done that before, right? Host of the twight. Surely Oscars. Oh, no, no, this is the second way. It's like last year he did it.
10:24Remember, there was a, there was a Conan Renaissance after he was on hot ones and everyone was like, hey, this guy's funny. And then a bunch of clips, old clips of his resurfaced. I think he rode that wave. Hey, hey, hey, this guy's hair is the same color as those wings. We got to pay attention to him more. And that's the audience watching and saying, no, I, I, I, I, I, I, no, I took me as, I would thought you meant the wings on the statuette. And then I was going to say, there aren't, but then you said the chicken wings from hot. Yes, yes. Uh-huh. The hot sauce on the wing. Great red and spicy. Yeah. Well, I was referring to the chicken wing. The Oscars holding on the Academy Awards statue. Does he hold a little chicken wing? Okay, go ahead, go ahead. No, too silly. Too far. Why are you squashing this, Jeff? It's not funny. It's squashed. Well, that's, that's good. That's good of you to speak up.
11:25Because Tim over here is just going to let me go and go. I am, I'm drinking on my fresh for French press. That's why I'm going a mile a minute over here. Oh, wow. You're fully, you're, you're capped up, man. What, what, how's the blood pressure doing? I'm fully capped. Can I tell you some, I've had some of the lowest numbers I've ever had recently. You're bottom me out. Zero over zero. Like, like, almost the point I was like, wow, these are low. Is this too low blood pressure now? No, it's, it's doing great. I'm, uh, the meds are working. I'm getting enough potassium to keep everything level and nice. Oh, let me guess. Are you eating one of these a big yellow banana that I'm doing? What happened to that banana, Tim? Jesus Christ. I ain't happy with it. And I'll tell you what guys. It ain't a grown Michelle. It's a, it's a, it's a Cavendish. Oh, right. We're in our banana deep dive, right? You've got it. Did you get one? Did you have to order? Uh, no, this is the normal kind. Oh, Cavendish. Right, right, right. Big Mike was the old guy. Yep. Big Mike. Yep. Well, are we getting some booz news?
12:52Oh, I thought I heard a popcorn. Whoa, Jesus Christ. I got whiplash at the end there. That's wave was sent to us by ONA. And if you have a booz news theme email to the Sloppy Boyz podcast at gmail.com, ONA, Uncle Owen, order again, baby. Yeah. Dan, that was, uh, understood the assignment. Well done. We talked about vapor wave a couple episodes ago. And there he comes in. I think we even said like, Oh, yeah, uh, pop would be a good vapor wave. So I wonder if he re-performed my iconic vocal and slowed it down or did he use AI to, um, a morally strip my, my artwork down to its bits.
13:58Oh, and a year to decide now how you feel about it without knowing the process. You have to be mad at him or happy at him. I'm happy at him. Oh, and regardless of techniques used, yo, yo, yo, your duts is mad at you. No, no, no, I heard the pie's happy at me. At him. At him. Before we move on from the booz news theme, there was that sign off that production card that. It wasn't castle rock. It wasn't touchstone. What's that? No, but it is like a sound that's like, whoa, now it's bedtime. Now it's no good. No, now it's no good for me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's no fighting that it's bedtime now. That's exactly the happy of me about this. It's all over for me. I still got to be a fighting about that time now. Not after that sound. Yeah, that makes
14:59it me think it was to have been had to have been like TGIF-ish. I'm cooked. Yeah. I'm cooked. I only, uh, now I have to go up to my beautiful bed and sleep and just have beautiful dreams and go to a school that is paid for. I don't have to worry about food. Oh, yeah, I'm cooked. We had it so nice back then. I know. Kids are not grateful enough for us for us. Grateful anymore. Childish men and for childless middle aged men, we got a quam. We got to bond to pick with little small kids. Hey kids, come on the pod. Defend yourselves. My hands, that's not even an argument. Next. Hey, I, you know what? I don't like is adults who, when they talk to kids, they do a kid voice. So I was talking to some kids as well, I don't do a lot of kids this weekend, I don't care how young you get. I'm still saying, hey, buddy, how are you? Hey, what do you got there? That voice stays in the same octave. It doesn't go up an octave, not for a kid, not even for a dog. And they like me for it. I'm sort of ascending them, you know?
16:03My, yeah. Yeah, you treat them like an adult. My little cousin, she's not little anymore. She's married and has kids of her own. She's a little no more. She's a little no more. When she was a kid, oh, like a baby. She was like a real late addition to the cousins, you know? You had like, we were like, look, we already got this kind of figure now. We don't know. She was like a really late character, like late season of the office. We're like, yeah, there's like the warehouse guys. Yeah, I forgot. They added those guys. Oh, yeah, Clark Duke, she does a season here, okay? Oh, yeah. I've been watching that and I just got to that season of the office and it is very much like, oh, wow, Andy is now the boss and he's never been like, he's going to Florida all the time. It's like, what the hell is going on? Yeah, bizarre. Like how much that show, I won't say fell off. I fell off. I fell off in my viewership. But anyway, my little cousin, she was a baby and everybody would kind of do the talking down thing. She was maybe two or three. And I remember she thought it was, I thought it was funny that she thought this was funny.
17:06She would like bump into you or like grab your leg and I'd be like, whoa, lady, lady. And she knew it was funny that I reacted that way. He like called her lady because it's like something that she's like, that's not what you'd call somebody of my stature. I said, you're all right, kid. It's funny. My old friend, Tommy, used to pick up his little cousin who was like five and he would rock her in his arms being like, go to sleep, baby, and she's like, yeah, they want to be, they want to be elevated. Yeah. And any kid who sees a younger kid is like, that's a baby. And I'm like, bro, you're a fucking baby to me. You're like a baby. And I'm a baby to even older people to be. And I'm a baby to Neema. And she's a baby to God. God, the oldest guy. Tingly at. Now that's good, Mike. I would, I would never squash that sort of bit. Keep those coming.
18:13God looks down at earth and he's like, oh, you can't see us. You're so young. You don't even know it. You don't even know. You don't even know. I word down. You're like, oh, man, Uncle's chopped. Uncle's chopped. No, man. Uncle's God now. My voice goes, I, when I talk to look at my voice, the lower age, the higher my voice. If I ever go to like a pregnant woman's belly and like, if I'm talking to the baby and they're like dogs in the neighborhood, go nuts. It hurts you to talk. You're like, red in the face. Yeah, like, but that happened very often because he's like, get away from me. Mike, stop. You gotta hear yourself. No, I got more to say. Yeah. And then from inside the womb, you're, I'm kidding. That's silly. That's silly, Tim. I was doing like a dog bark coming from
19:16I get a book. Maybe you have it now. Tim, it's gotta be silver on my shelves or your shelves. It was like a short story book that I read and it was a guy. Okay, I was like writing short stories about like having giving birth to a dog. Do you remember that? Yeah, that was like, it was like a McSweeney's writer from like 2005 dog day. Yeah, dog. And it's good. It's like, I don't know why, but somebody was like, this is, these are funny stories. You'd like these, like, well, I'll buy a book of short stories. Yeah. Okay. We'll find out who that guy is and we'll say his name now. Hey, everybody, it's Milan aka recollection boy. And in honor of X month, I'm going to use all of my recollecting powers to think of his name trying to recollect this information for the pod. Come on, the boys need my help. It's Arthur Bradford. And the name of the book is dog walker. All right, back to the show. Because he, I would like that when you're
20:20lulled into, I think this just happened with a few films. Jesus, I sound like a fucking film freak. Movies recently where I love a flight of fancy when you're, when everyone is playing by the same rules. And then like that book, you're reading in a guy's leg, I was living in Texas and I in a duplex and I would hang out with my neighbor. I'd go next door and get drunk with my neighbor. And then eventually kind of deep into the book, like a human gives birth to dogs. And you're like, oh, yeah, I'm, you're allowed to do that. You can do whatever you want. Yeah. You lived in, uh, it was like, it seemed like that was when, like, Austin was weird and cool before it got like, whatever, everyone knew it was, I kept it, I kept Austin weird. That was you. That's great. But like, it seemed like a real weirdo hipster, Austin guy before, like, I even knew what that was. You know what I mean? I don't know. Interesting. I'm working on a comedy sketch where there's, uh, like, an Austin hipster from 20 years ago. And then there's a modern day Austin comedian who goes and calls that guy forward. Republican. Mike, my goal. All right. What's the actual
21:28business? Okay. Well, spring is approaching. And in fact, um, you know, uh, baseball spring training has begun. Isn't it not? Oh, great. It is. Um, love that. Jeff, Jeff, well, you may not be so pumped about, uh, opening day of MLB coming in late March, but you'll tell you what, they are baseball players or athletes. And here you are a gym rat. So you both like to have active lifestyles. That's true. My lifestyle is like theirs. Active. Would you say Jeff or Shohei O'Tani works out more weekly? More often? Yeah. More hours. Uh, Shohei O'Tani. Jeff, do you know who Shohei it? Do you know what O'Tani is? Yeah, I do. He's a Fortnite skin. I love it. That's how he started out and then he got into baseball and then he came into the real world. Um, anyway, I was thinking about how my co-hosts are gym rats. And I was thinking about how
22:30baseball season is, uh, is approaching. And then there was a viral clip this week that kind of checked both boxes. And I wanted to bring it in and play it in booze news. Um, former MLB all-star Sean Casey, uh, was, uh, he's been interviewed by Cal Ripken Jr's son. We all know Cal Ripken Jr. was dubbed the Iron Man because he had the record for, um, most consecutive games. Iron Man. Okay. This has held me. He was a very atonious Stark-esque. Stark-esque. Okay. The commentators during the game, like, here he comes. He's stark-esque. Here he comes. He's coming over to the move. Well, this noise, he's walking up to the plate. But yeah, they hate that when you walk up to the booth of the bat. It's going to break the microphone. So I know what he's going to do is threatening. Um, so, uh, uh, Sean Casey was telling this story about how when he was a rookie for the Cleveland Indians in the late, uh, 90s, they played, uh,
23:35the Baltimore, Baltimore Orioles. And after the game, his coach was like, hey, rookies, you got, make sure you go, uh, lift. So they went to the clubhouse. This is like a shared gym in the clubhouse. And, uh, here is the story that Sean Casey told him. So I remember coming in to get my lift in and they're seeing your down. I'm like, oh, my God. Here's Cal Ripket. Holy crap. It's incredible. He's at the lap pull down machine. And I'm looking closer. I'm like, there's Cal Ripket. He's doing lap pull. Look at that back. He's jacked. He's guys bigger than I thought with a six with six butt heavies on ice. And I go, is that what you've got to do to be one of the greatest players ever when you come in the lift, you've got to have a six butt heavies on ice and a little cooler that you know, the club. He was like, here's your butt heavy. Yeah. And then I watched your dad work out and I was like, I don't think his workout ends until those butt heavies are done. So he was like going around, it drink one. And I think he made way to walk that was zero or one butt heavy. Oh, yeah. That's how I was like, yeah. Zero or one butt heavy. Zero.
24:36That's crazy. That seems like just the science is like alcohol takes the oxygen out of your blood and muscles, right? Isn't that what you mean? But you trade off. You get courage. Yeah. You get courage. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You don't you don't feel the burn as much. Also Arnold says, I don't know if it's for like lifting, but I mean, is there, there's no protein in beer, right? Like because there's no actual like, there's protein, I think. There's a protein. There's carbs. Oh, yeah. But alcohol too. There's bubbles. Arnold was a big proponent of drinking beer after workouts, I think, in the really in pumping iron. He's like, when your baby you drink milk, when you adult, you have to drink beer. Well, that's not going to help his looks maxing these days because it's going to blow them the next day. Blow them. While I don't think that the science works out, I do understand like six butt heavies on ice. And it's like, that's like the clubby assistant guy gets that for you every day. Like,
25:40making something in a vent helps you stick to it. So if you have you play 162 baseball games a year, and if you like to wind down by lifting or whatever, if you know, you're like, oh, I'm going to sort of like get a buzz going while I work out, I feel like it would help. I mean, obviously, I'm not saying I'm not advocating. Like I drink six beers every day. I feel like there's things in life where you make it a thing. Like, I've gotten better about like jogging or hiking because I'm like, oh, I'm listening to that audio book or, you know, something like that, the ritual of it. But even just that story, I was picturing six bottles of red label Budweiser. It made me say, I got a lift. That's going to get you in the gym. The promise of a six pack of butt heavies. It feels like a beer commercial of that era. I'm just like, hey, we're doing this thing that doesn't require beer. Well, here's a couple beers to make it better. I bet Budweiser, love that. The idea of Cal Ripkin doing lat pull downs with a six pack of cold buds on ice. That's a good image. A good image to me. That's awesome. For some reason, I'm picturing the,
26:46like that he's in jeans too, like that RFK junior video that came, like him and Kid Rock. It just seems like a working out in jeans move to have buds, a couple buds on ice. It is so weird when people, or David Cross, he's got a funny standup joke about how he was like, he was going for a hike, but he brought a little notebook with him to write down comedy ideas. And then he was like, I'm going to jog home. And as he was, he was like, people thought that he was being chased. If you're jogging and you're holding a book, it's like, it's like if you're wearing clothes, people are like, where are you running to? Why are you running? That's always great too. At the gym when you see a guy coming from work, and it's like, ah, he just forgot to bring his fucking shoes this morning, or sneakers. And he's like, yeah, I'm a tanked up shorts and wing dips. Is that it for booze news? We're up it up. I'm like getting the feeling of coming in the gym. I'm getting the feeling of coming at home. I'm getting the feeling of coming backstage when I pump up. When I post out in front of 5,000 people, I get the same feeling. So I'm coming day and night.
27:51All right, folks, with that out of the way, we turn our attention to the drink of the day. Oh, yes. The test pilot you've had? No. I may have. The Tiki bar in Santa Barbara in the function called test pilot. You've been. Yes, this, this I remember. I want to say it was Scott Gerdner's wedding. Joe Saunders wedding. Yes. That's a great wedding weekend thing when you get into a routine where like after the rehearsal dinner, we went out to this Tiki bar like this place great. And then after the reception, we're like, still want to drink. So we went to go back there. And then Sunday night, we'll go back there like, well, three nights a row on a Tiki bar. Well, there is this part of town called the funk zone. Do you guys want to check that out? I love it. I love Santa Barbara. Did funk stand for so was it was it an acronym for something? Or just the phone? No, it was just them being dorky. It's, it's, you know, like, hey,
28:51let's get this formerly industrial zone, like turned into wine tasting rooms. And then they're dorky up there. So they called it the funk zone. It almost felt like it was like they brought the, you know, the, the container, the ship containers there to make, turn them into stuff. Right. They shipped it in. They funk them up. Okay. So the test pilot is a classic Don, the Beach Comer drink. We all, we've talked on the Beach Comer when we talked about the zombie. And he's a swashbuckling, kind of a guy, seafaring man. But, you know, instead of listening to me, tell you about this drink and, and Don, the Beach Comer's history and everything. Yeah. And we listen to you plenty. Trust me, 33% of the pods sometimes when I'm really yapping. I mean, you're really yapping. You hit 33. When you guys get me going, I hit my 33. I try to lay back, but you guys, Tim, no, no. So this week, I just, I went to the Los Filos library and I took out this vinyl album. It was called the anthology of world history. And
29:56there's a track about Don, the Beach Comer. So I thought we'd play it. Okay. Don, the Beach Comer, AKA Ernest Gantt was a swashbuckling man of the South Seas who started the first Tiki bar in the Hollywood, California in the 1930s. He invented the zombie and a slew of other classic rum rapsodies. Some say he grew up in New Orleans, some say Jamaica, some say Texas, legend has it, this rugged raccoon tour worked on cargo freighters in the South Pacific. And day and world two, he was in the air force. And that's why he has a drink called the test pilot. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I hated that too much of that one bird, I think. Yeah. I hated it. I guess it was a crow. Crow bird. Yeah. It sucked. There was a bird in the way. That was a very, very hitched cocky end. Yeah. Oh, right. They must have been recording right to vinyl though,
31:00because you get the one take and that's it. You can't do anything about it. Yeah. I wonder if they filmed that. Yeah. Jeff, you're ready. It was hitched cocky end because I was listening to that. I was picturing a wee, wee, wee, wee. Psycho, baby. Ah, the psychotic knife. I'll never shower again. Okay. Jeff, you should have said that when you were done. Wait, lift to get high school. Hey, uh, Duds go shower. No, no, I saw a psycho last night. No, no, I keep seeing psycho. Yeah. Okay. Well, um, I couldn't really tell because of the loud bird, but anyway, apparently Don was in the air force during World War II. He named this drink the test pilot, because it's ended up being a precursor to his more popular drink, the jet pilot, which has cinnamon and grapefruit and maybe something will make that on pod. But here is the recipe for today's test pilot. Great. One and a half ounces dark Jamaican rum, three quarter rounds light rum. See, he's mixing rum in the mark of the man. Nasty. Um, half ounce,
32:06quantro, half ounce, jostoline, fresh squeeze lime juice, half ounce fuller, which we bought for episode two of the podcast. Yes. I had to discuss this. This is our true duster nasty stuff. It's kind of like a clovey liqueur. Yeah, I forget what this tastes like. If you don't, if you can't find fuller, um, folks that taste like might be a little bit of all spice or or clovey with Google it. Um, not old spice, Jeff. No, no, not posh spice. Yeah. The way she dances that her son's wet, Tim, go ahead. You're pissed off. Well, Jeff, you, you, uh, take a quick go get some air. I'll tell Mike one dash angastura bitters six drops per no. Now this is a black liqueur. Is she tasting French le corps that we also bought way back in the day. I believe for the zombie. So the guy likes that. No, no, I think the zombie had absent, but folks, you can use Sam Bucca or absent or whatever. If you don't, I got that book, uh, garnish is a maraschino chair.
33:10Here we go. Add all ingredients into a blender with a cup of ice and blend at high speed for five seconds. So I don't think you have to blend. If you, if you do a vigorous shake with some crushed ice, you know, I'm blending, um, I just five seconds. I'm blending. Um, you know, you blend until ice is crushed, but not smooth, pour into a double rocks glass, adding more crushed ice to fill. If needed, garnish with a speared maraschino chair. Yow. That sounds great, Tim. I got a wonder. We got stems for a reason, bud. That's, that's, we know what that is. His response is getting speared. Yes. We got stems for a reason, bud. Yes. I'm going to try to tell you. Listen, he don't listen. Well, why did he, I suspect when he called this the test pilot, he knew, he knew there was going to be the jet pilot was going to be coming up,
34:16but you know, it was all part of the rollout. I think it was part of that school or maybe renamed it after the fact is it just lucky that it was like, good thing I called that one the test pilot because I just came up with a better version. I can name this one something better. Yeah. Well, do we go blend these up? I didn't really think I'd be blending today. This is a, this is quite a shock to try to tell you. I wish we had gotten the memo a little earlier. All right, folks, we're going to go blend these up. And when we get back for sips in the funk zone, baby. I live an on the go lifestyle. That's why I'm going on tour to see all the sloppy boys shows this spring. Los Angeles March 20th at Zebulan Phoenix March 21st at Valley Bar, Salt Lake City March 23rd at quarters, Denver March 25th at Marquis, Dallas March 27th at the Texas
35:17E-room, Houston March 28th at the White Oak Music Hall upstairs at Lanta May 21st center stage vinyl Knoxville May 22nd open cord Nashville May 23rd East Side Bowl and that's part of George Fest. Come on out get tickets online online. That's where the tickets are. You know it. Man, you've got a lot of food. You've got a lot of money. Boy, oh, you got me. That's right. We're back in the funk zone. It's the sloppy boys right back with you. We got the test. Oh, babies. I don't mind. That's a cool Budweiser. This is a mug. Budweiser mug that I believe his name was David in Philly gave us.
36:20His name was David in Philly. What a lovely tip. What a love one those two. It was in Philly. It was when we played the last show we played in Philly that was a wonderful show. Milk boy, sold it out. Milk boy, that was great. And you see the shirt I'm wearing guys, Dante's tavern. When we were in Chicago, this is the place that bought us. They brought pizza on stage to us. The pizza is essentially crowd-surfed. I remember seeing two hot pies floating through the audience and laying on the stage. Folks, that was like a concert out of a fucking Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But this is what we're saying folks. Come to these fucking shows this March. It is going to be wild stuff happens. And also if you have a pizza place, bring a pizza and crowd-surfed to the stage. Hey, one time we... Somebody got jacked off at one of our shows. What? A lady got fingered. Oh, that's what it was. Okay. And the best part of
37:24the story? Not a young couple. Little age couple. And even a better part of the story. Not a big show. It's kind of a sparse crowd. This was a 25-person crowd made. Coastamase, a strip mall. Nobody's there. Too much engaging in sexual acts. Well, that was the wayfarer. Yeah, oh my god. Yeah, that was a great night. That was a fun. Hey, Jordan Morris was there. So I'm happy. Sure. Sure. Okay. Folks, bring it. We like when you bring pizzas on stage. But also if it's a regional, let's say we're in Phoenix and you bring us fry bread. Yeah, let's say we're in Houston and you bring us up to some of those like bags of shrimp that have been boiled and give us some plastic gloves and we're digging in and you know, that type of thing. We want the little delicacy on stage during the show. Folks, you want to hear a little chewing. Tim singing a song and he's got a little bit. He's like a gerbil. He's got a little bit of food in the cheek. He wants the food in the cheek and he wants the third base
38:27stuff at home. Keep that at home. Um, it's speaking of eating on stage. So do you remember we were had a great show in Columbus, Ohio and somebody brought us a pizza that was a very good pie. It was from a place. I want to say goddess or goddess or whatever. And it was like a real good midwestie pizza with like sausage and stuff on it. And I just loved it. I'm so picky about pizza being hot. And I knew I didn't want to eat it after the show. So I was eating as fast as I could on stage like like quick slice on stage like, you know, I mean, there's enough vamping during a sloppy bush so that it didn't feel like a stop down. But it was so I remember like getting up from the drums, walking, walking around, grabbing the slice. That was Gordnite. That was Gordnite. That was a huge night. That was a great show. Somebody online called me out like I had to slice like sitting on my music stand where my set list was and then I was between songs like pushing it into my face. And someone was like posted a video of it. He was on a music stand like like a piece of paper, like a piece of music. I was just trying to get it in there. And I was like,
39:29you know, we're pushing with my palm jamming it in there. And somebody posted a video of it and was like, Jesus Christ him. We should take a sip of these. But I got another pizza thing to say in just a second. I already my Luxardo. I'm happy to give it a little melt. Guys, I use I have a Vitamix. So I accidentally blasted this into a smoothie. It's tough. It's tough not to. I have that's whatever Hamilton Beach, whatever an Esther, whatever. But five seconds on high, some cubes didn't get touched. Some cubes, snow, liquidated. Okay. I mean, that's that Don the Beach Comer. That the two row that fuller. It tastes like Don Beach, man. I was going to say this is this is just like Tiki. This is a Tiki drink. This tastes like every other Tiki drink, which I love. We haven't done Tiki. I haven't had a Tiki in a long time. We should do. We got to do more. That's why we were like, let's get back in the room zone. I'm like,
40:30this summer too. I mean, hey, we're going to jump on its march. I'm not complaining. But let's get a bunch going this summer. Isn't it funny how stuff comes in waves where like, I have loved Tiki for a long time. But then sometimes there was like a little burst of like a lot of Tiki bars opening and then like a lot of Tiki content on Instagram. And there's an ebb and flow. And just for whatever reason recently, we're like, I can go for some fucking T drinks. It's been a while, you know? Yeah. What did you guys use for Jamaican rum? Myers. Oh, okay. That's that's very dark quick. Smith and Gross. That's the one I kind of treat myself to that nice one. You know what I mean? It's Smith and Gross. That's good. I was wondering if Appleton estate was dark enough. It is Jamaican rum. But if you're going by color, I'd call it a gold or an amber, not a not a Jamaican dark. Mine looks lighter than you're got you guys have a little more of a red hue to your orange hue. Mine's a little more yellow. There's a certain case that comes out with the actual dark
41:32rums like mine's got a little sharpness to it. Yeah. And I probably have myers. I didn't comment before, but as I was mixing it up, the two different amounts of dark rum too is dark and light rum is interesting. Any two rums, Slabets use any two rums. It comes out to a Tiki. Any two rums too. I will say Appleton estate is my go-to for a Tiki funk. Delicious. Oh, it's so good. They have it at Tiki tea. And I was like, it's good enough for Tiki tea. It's good enough for JFED. It's good enough for Freaky tea. Me for Freaky tea. Yeah, I think that should become a staple at the Freaky tea. The Tiger room. Oh, sure. Yeah, well, do you think you would, Tim, I mean, you're not going to have at the Tiger room. There's just not enough space to have a lot of client volume. But would you make stuff like that? Like, would this take too long to do Tiki drinks? Or are you thinking you're going to do more or just mix cocktails? No, this would be perfect. The
42:35issue, I got to fire some of the belly dancers. They take up too much space and I can't fit the blender in there. So it says a few of the go-go girls got to go. Sorry. Candy, Sandy, you're out. Mandy, you stay because you can cook. You're working in the kitchen. Mandy is dandy. We're sisters. That's okay. It's just work. You would break up our family. No, it's your job. No, you'll see each other at home. You don't live here. Hey, you don't all live here. Not yet. Only Candy who rents out space under the western facing desk. Some of the belly dancers live here, but you don't all live here. You don't. There's no room. Just wait, wait, wait. It's the Tiger room at the, what now? The Calpe room? My place is called Calpe's Hideaway. Right. And then when you come down the hallway past the beaded curtain, you step into the Tiger room. Is it going to be like, it's the Tiger room at Calpe's Hideaway,
43:40brought to you by Capital One. Like the Capital One lounge of the Tiger room, brought to you by how many levels down are we going to go? And it's all part of Sona. It's right now. It's the Badger Beves lounge brought to you by Reverend guitars and ice made clear. Yeah, yeah. A Badger Beves auxiliary club. A Badger Beves company. God, that reminds me of when we were on tour in DC and we stated that we're like, what do you call those like a mixed-use space? Yes. And it was like, oh, yeah. I'm at a, I'm staying at the towers by Avalon. Yeah, it's at the commons and we're in the towers by Avalon, a gamble industry. Oh, man. This is what I was going to say before about pizza. Let me just throw this out there before the, it's rounded and ends up in triangles later. That's, yes. I keep seeing this Instagram video of this guy. Maybe he's a delivery kid, but he's like,
44:40a kid comes into a pizza place. It's like the security camera. And they're like, okay, here's these two pizzas to take. And the kid takes them and immediately like picks them up and for some reason flips them over and carries them. And the two guys work in there. It's just like, whoa, and they're not mad. They're like, what are you doing, man? That's like you flip them upside down. You can't do that. It's just like the complete wrong thing to do with a pizza. And the guy is like baffled by it. It's really funny. I've seen people like do the, they take the pizza and they kind of put it under their arm like a briefcase like up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like, you're not supposed to do that. But what was this guy thinking doing a complete 180? Yeah. It's like, it's like, what, what, what, what did you think you were picking up? Yeah. Reacon idiot. I, um, I really blew it because I turned, I'm loving the taste of this drink. Uh, it's not really fucking around. It doesn't have a lot of juice. You know what I mean? There's only a, yeah, that one half has a life. So you're, you're getting all the done beach taste. But I, I overblended and I have
45:40these little cocktails. So I physically can't suck it in. Okay. That's, I need a straw because I'm like, uh, I don't want to chew all that ice. Yeah. It's just an icy drink right now. I'm trying to drink it between the ice and it's good because it's slowing me down because it's basically just like, uh, rums and liqueurs. Um, I got an issue in apology to fuller them. I tasted it. I took a little sip and it wasn't that clovey. It actually had a hint of citrus and it was sweet and it was nice and it reminded me that when we were on tour, uh, a nice slap head in Pittsburgh gave us a bottle of craft fullerum that we then drank on stage and Cincinnati. Oh, yeah. And it was, it's, it's a very dynamic liqueur. That fullerum, if I remember correctly, came in a cool bottle. It was kind of a unique. It was like matte black. It was like a map. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was cool. Oh, murdered out. Nice. I like that. Hey, you guys seen a lot of those cars these days? The, the color, uh, the muddy color of the matted out, the clay, the putty, clay,
46:43slime. Once you see, you can't unsee it. It distracts me every day. I can't go out anymore. It's not worth it every moment. Ah, there's nothing out there for me. No, surely Jeff, there's roads you haven't ridden before. No, no, no, I don't want to. No, no, no. I thought it was weird that when, when you guys were first talking about that, um, I was just picturing a handful of clay type colors. Like there was the, the cactus green. Yeah. And then like a, and a kind of like a, like a, uh, Tops, Santa Fe orange type of a thing. Uh-huh. Now it's, it's just like that phenomenon, like lusterless paint in every color. And like colors that you would list. Yes. They're not even really doing it. But even like black, you know, anything. It's black. I feel like it was always black. And that doesn't feel weird to me. But then like, uh, or even like, what about lusterless black? And not matte black. Lusterless. It's not matte. Let's, we don't have to, and not damn black. We don't get,
47:44relitigate this whole thing. But yellow, I feel like yellow always looked like that. You see a yellow car. My friend used to have a, uh, a yellow Honda CRX, a tiny little thing. I didn't have like, a metallic sparkle to it. It was just yellow. It looked like a cab. You know, like, that doesn't seem weird to me. But you don't have a sparkle to it. You have that beautiful reverend guitar behind you. There's you. Oh, yeah. The turquoise boy. Yeah. It's got, it's got that, that feels like a, a real like, um, what's that? Like a 50s dinery color to me, like the sparkle. I'll tell you, I, I find myself a reach in for it, which is, you know, that's good. That's good in a guitar. Yeah. Reach for the reverend. Hmm. Hmm. Well, hold on. Yeah. You also got my, yeah. How about reach for the reverend? Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Folks, if you want to see it, it's the Chris Freeman signature from revering guitars. Mike Morgan Freeman's little brother. Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's right. I'm going to grab a straw. Oh, I, I, I, I can, I want to get a boba straw. I have one.
48:48Okay. Oh, yeah. Okay. I'm going to grab it. I'll sit here and hold it down because I have a straw. So I'll talk about this straw. All right. I got this straw. That's, uh, well, it's pretty much standard straw length, which I'm guessing here, but I'm going to say a little under a foot. I'm going to say 10 inch straw here. A little bend in it. It's rubbery. It's sort of the vinyl. The vinyl straw vibe. Uh, it's purple. Came in a set of, I want to say 10 and some of those have been lost to the sands of time, unfortunately, but the ones I do have are holding up very well. Jeff is back. What kind of straw did you get, Jeff? Hello, I got two. I got a boba from our great paper. Oh, big boba thick gauge. And then just your normal size straw, which I think I might, I don't want to suck up the ice. I want to drink the drink through the ice. Yeah. You know, I meant to do some crush, like to crush ice, uh, before we did this, I forgot. But you know,
49:48what I did, I, and I think you two might have this. Some pebble would be perfect. Some pebble. Yes. It would be perfect. I got, uh, just a little like plastic bin to keep all my ice in, like after it's made in the maker, like, think put it in a bin. Yeah. It's so nice. Just having a reach in and pop in. So I feel like a real fucking bartender in there. That's a nice, you know, we talk about those little moves that just makes it feel like, hey, look at me. I'm, yeah, like I'm a fucking chef in the kitchen here. Yeah. Well, you feel like one, yeah. Well, like when two, like for, for a kelpies hideaway, you got the little baskets. Like it's like, yeah, it feels like, um, do it something. I'll tell you when you, when you order the mozzarella sticks to kelpies, hideaway, yeah, of course. And then one of the belly dancers comes and like, you know, they do the trick where they're doing the belly dance. And there's a mozzarella stick getting like flipped and rotated. Yeah. We're naval. It's good. It's good to talk about the kelpies hideaway as if it's like in the past tense, because it just gives you the idea of what it is. All we do is talk about what we think it should be. And Tim will just go through the notes here.
50:48And yeah, make, give it to a contract or we'll make it. Yeah. I'm getting the vibe of it before I even have to open it. But I will say what I really want in reference to food at kelpies hideaway. I want it to be like, hey, can I get a basket, basket of mozzarella sticks? And I'm like kitchens closed. Yeah. And then, and then I'm back in the tiger room and people are like, oh man, too bad we can't have mozzarella sticks. And I'm like, oh no, the kitchen is open for one more hour. You know, in places, I truly, my favorite bar in Los Angeles is the middle room at red lion. And I also love the patio and I also love eating dinner downstairs in the dining room. But the way they move you around on a Friday night, they're like middle bars closed. So you go out to the patio and they're like, patio's closed. Then you go downstairs, you're like, okay, I'm just here to tell you that the middle bar opened up. You gotta get up there. Middle bars back open. The middle bars sort of a nice little hobbit hole. That's what I like.
51:51You get your walnut snops, you saddle up to the middle bar. Yeah, I really like that middle bar. Feels like you're stepping in out of us, you know, storm somewhere. It's great. And one night I was getting, I was kind of chatting snops with the German lady who was a bartender in the middle room for one night. Every time you go there. I do love her and she's opened my eyes. She's the world of egg snops. But it was like a Friday night and she's like, come back on Sunday. I'm doing the special German drink where it's like a coffee cocktail that I light on fire. And I was like, okay, I'll be back on Sunday. And then I came back Sunday. The middle room was so packed. I couldn't get in there. I saw, I peaked around. I saw her making the drinks, but I couldn't get in. So I sat out on the patio. She's like, it's like the bodyguard. She's like, let him in. He's my star pupil. And I had that thing of like, it was like, and then everything was sounded like distant and quiet. I was like, where is she?
52:54But then I sat out on the patio and I was like, no, that's fine. I was like, all of it brought worse than, and can I have one of these flaming coffee drinks? And they're like, oh, sorry. We don't do them out here. And I was like, what? He's like, you have to drink those in the middle bar. I was like, what the fuck? What the fuck? I mean, a lot of bars, like, they'll be like, kitchens close. And you'd be like, oh, fries. And then like, fine, we can do fries. So the kitchen is not closed. They'll have like certain things you can do and certain things you can't, I don't know. That happens a lot. Fine, you can have fries. That should be on a t-shirt, sloppy boys. Okay. Fine, you have fries. They're gonna have fries. Culture starts here. They say kitchens. Everyone says kitchens close to mean. And then they feel bad. And they go, let me check if they're fried. The fries are still on. But a red line. I love the whole staff there. There's like several servers who are wonderful there. And they do it in a way that's not rude. It's just funny. The rules of the place. Rude. I'm finally tasting this with my boba straw.
53:54And God, I love. Are you sucking in too much ice, though? Or do you define yourself chewing and shopping that ice? I'm trying not to get the ice so much. I'm doing okay. I'm just sort of I let it get a little melty. But it's just so interesting how the how the tone works. You know, when we talk about the the the subjectivity of of a taste like the three of us don't love mescal. The three of us don't love driver booth stuff like that. This taste that is multiple rums lime and then something weird. I don't know if I can't remember the first time I tasted it, but like I love it so much. I don't want to do this, but it'd be fun to you laugh when I finally say the thing I'm going to say. I would love to do all these drink like one of each of these drinks. So let me just start this again. This one's hitting me. That's the other thing. It's a lot of rum in this guy. Yeah, I know. It's a little
54:59early. We're recording early in the day today, so that Mike can hang out with John Haskell later, but we're recording early and I have I only all I ate was a Cavendish banana. Oh, no. Oh, wait a minute. Mike, if you're hanging out with Haskell later, who am I going to be playing Fortnite with? Haskell's brother, Maddie. Dude, it is there's a blizzard happening right now in New York that I might even not even be hanging out with. Who even knows this whole day got fucked. So you might be dropping in. I might be dropping in. I might be dropping out. I started a graduate program. Tune in. Turn on. Drop out. Now, Mike, also remember your friend Tim sent you some tablature for a sloppy boy song. He wants you to practice on bass, so you got to hit that pretty hard. I know. Jeff, I can't drop it. I got to practice the bass. I got to worry. I have bass practice. That's amazing. My boss needs me to do this. You're like, I'm your boss. I'm the drummer. Oh, yes. Mike, we're clear. Who's the boss? Hey, Tim, can Mike come out and play
56:03Fortnite? Yes. Come back into his house. Only for eight hours. I want to play, let me ask Tim. But what I was about to say is I'd like to have however many ingredients are in this drink. I'd like to have that many drinks. And each one doesn't have an ingredient. Does that make sense? So each test pilot would have all. Yes. And I'd be like, oh, because I'd like to see what, this would be for any drink. But I just would like to see how important each one is to, because I was just thinking about the next one. What are the six drops of pernode really bring into the table? Right. My theory is that it's not as much as I love this drink, I don't think it's a perfect alchemy of those things. I just think it needs to be something weird. I think the English tour would have done it, or the pernode would have done it, or for learn what's me on us would have done it. But I do think maybe for learn them sweet, so then bidders are bringing the edge back. And there's a little bit of a balance going on. Oh, my, my San Buka, I didn't, I had to buy a new one. And it wasn't the brand of San Buka that you always see with like the
57:06Roman Colosseum. Yeah, it wasn't that it was some other one. And Tika, I think. And I unscrewed the top and it had a little speed poor thing. I think that's nice. Oh, that's fun. Wait, a speed poor or the opposite of a speed poor, a slower downer? The dripper thing. I thought that was called a speed poor. What is that thing called? Dripper. I call it like when a bar where you turn up and count. Yeah, I called a speed poor. Oh, interesting. It was cool to have that like in in my house. I'm going to get one of those too. That'll be fun to pop in some bussels. I speaking of things that pour in specific ways. One of here about a Calpe, I always post my L's. But one of here about a big Calpe W recently. Yeah. I love that. I was at Hillhurst Lickers. You've been, been I've been to Hillhurst Lickers. Shares, Shares and a part, Shares, a parking Jesus on a apartment. I'm drunk. Shares a parking lot with Yuka's tacos.
58:08Well, you know, these days with, with, with, you know, AI technology being ordered with apartments will be having interactions with each other. Did I think? Yes. I do know Hillhurst Lickers. Yes. I had a, I had a Yuka's, a Satataco the other day. Tim, take it away. Oh, you should have had the double cheeseburger playing. That's what I got. Anyway, it's a very normal, normal, normal core liquor store with like a yellow sign that says Lickers and, you know, you know, you know, the place, you know, nobody's buying anything like this. You know, I love the place, but, but, but it's like lots of, lots of outcalls being sold in the same bag of chips will be there all year. That kind of place. Yeah. He don't go for the personality. It's, it's a type of place where it wasn't this place, but where we saw ice cream cones that were expired in 92. But we were circus Lickers. But that vibe where it's like the liquor, but we also have other items for, and I love these places and I, I make a point to patronize them. Tim, they remind me
59:11of New York's bodegas, which I am in a totally great fold. What about a bodega cat? Yeah. Well, it's, what's the deal with the bodega? I'm like, and why is there always a cat hanging around? The deal with the cats is I, I'll send you guys a Instagram account, you know, love it. I went in there when we did our Underberg episode. I went in there and I talked to the, the owner, who's like an older Eastern European guy, well-dressed dapper Dan. And I was like, hey, you have Underberg and he's like, what? And I was like, it's like bidders. It's like a little bottling. He's like, Angus store. I was like, nah, no, it's like a German DJ Steve. And he's like, I don't know. And then he looked it up on his computer and he's like, hey, our, our supplier carries it. Would you want me to order some? And I was like, oh, yeah, that would be great. And I'm a sucker. I'm a neighborhood guy. I like when I get that type of hot. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. Now the thing is he ordered it. I needed some for that day's podcast. So I went and I
1:00:16ended up buying it at Capencorp, I believe. But I still let this guy order some for me just because I enjoyed, I liked the interaction. You helped the business, man, because look, you should go and buy three or four of them, just be like, hey, I'm the guy you ordered these four. I'm buying some. But he should know that those sit on the counter and people go, oh, oh, I'll take one of those. Oh, it's a DJ Steve. This is exactly what happened. And the next time I go back in a few days, he gets it the next day. I go back in a few days. Yes, prominently displayed right on the counter. He's got, it's like the box that he's ripped the top off and they're sitting there pretty maids all on a row. And they're sitting there. And they have, it's been like maybe, I guess, I didn't go back for like three, four days. They're all sitting there. None have sold yet. So I, I'm like, I'm going to buy some and I felt bad. I bought six of them, like, and then, and then he's like, in a pack or like a, because there's, are they the packs of winterberg or those six individuals out of like a 24 pack, basically. But he had ordered like 150, like, like, multiple things.
1:01:19So I go, oh, he's not selling. And he's like, like, people don't know what it is. And I was like, oh, I'm sorry. And I bought six of them. Then I come back. And like the next time it's probably like a week later. And a couple of few more have sold it. I'm like, hey, people buy in these. And he goes, this is the next pack. But yeah, people have been buying them. And then I go back recently. And I'm like, hey, man, now sometimes I'm just like going for a jog. I'm passing them on the sidewalk. Okay, so now he's got, he's got gold glasses. He's got, he's got jewels in his teeth. Yeah, it's only there's a rules. Roy is out in the parking lot. But I did it. Like, now I'm saying I do him out on the sidewalk. And he's like, ooh, the birds are selling great. You know, like, and he said that he's like, you're like, this is a better version of when Jerry tries to help Bob. Yeah. He specifically said, once they started, there was like a week there where it's touching go. Once he started selling, he said, the kids like him. Uh-oh. Not, not. I told him. I was like, technically, you are allowed to sell these without a liquor license because it's a DJ. Just if you probably could. But he, he cards people and stuff. But
1:02:23yes, he meant like Gen Z is is buying. So we did actually have this interaction. He, he was like people over 21. But like people in their 20s have been buying him. And he said he's going to keep keep it on the inventory. So great. That's cool. That helped him out. That's awesome. I'm surprised. He's not like Tim. What what else you got? Yeah. Please, please. And I'm like, uh, Florida. He's like, you're the boss now. You're like, what? Six drops of per no. With hints of per no. Uh, that's cool. That's great, Tim, because now you got like skin in the game for Hillhurst Lickers. Like you're, you're invested. Yeah. I'm, I'm a part owner basically. Wow. Here you need to do this. Listen to my words and listen to them well. You need to tell this guy, hey, let's keep this thing going. And remember how I sort of started it? You give me all the underbird points you get. The caps. I got a fucking, uh, uh, you know, sweat suit. I need, you know, suit I need to buy.
1:03:28The tracksuit. The dude cut to me flying first class sitting in the green. I'm saying because if you buy a big pack of them, they must give you like a, oh, it's the caps. I think it's like, you bought a thing. You get, I don't know, something. That's interesting. Well, it's it's something. There's something in there. I agree. There could be something too that's like, hey, donate your caps for Tim. Yeah, Tim, you got to find a way to leverage it for your own. That's what I'm saying. Take this nice human interaction you had with a local business and leverage it to your benefit. Capitalist style. It's 2026, Tim. How can you work this? I'm going to reach out to Winterberg and say, hey, you guys are doing the thing with the caps, but the cool thing with kids right now is no cap. So how about no caps? Leave your caps here. Yeah, you don't want caps around. I'll take the caps. Yeah, leave your caps here for Tim. I'll take the caps. I'll drive them way up north. I'll dump them somewhere. You don't even
1:04:28know about them. It'll be great. Come back in two years. You buy the place with Winterberg caps. Now, I'm only about halfway through. I'm doing mine. I'm cooked. We got to make a second round. We got, we got to go to break because the advertisers, their advertisers are hungry, man. Yeah. You know what I'm going to do on my next round just for something to do? I'm going to throw some granite in there. See if it gives it a little something. You know what I think it will give it is a little red color and a little sweet sting. So I'm hoping it's just something different. But I am, I am, oh, feeling this one. Me too. I'm getting pink cheeks. I've had a salad today and cereal. What type of salad noodle? No, just some. No, no, I'm not, I'm not about to go on stage. Damn, that's a good callback from the memory, man. That was last week. I was like, I was like,
1:05:29I was like, Mike, do you do anything, do anything special before you stand up with the comedy taping? You're like, no, I probably just have some noodles. No, no, no, that's before I show before I do the pod. I get a ham steak and some mashed potatoes. There you go. Man, I, uh, uh, there was recently at Albertsons. There was a special on ham. I got a big giant $60 ham for like 15 bucks. And I was eating through a spiral ham. I couldn't do it. I lopped a bunch off and put it in my freezer. But I was having a ham steak for breakfast every day. That's live and man. Yeah. Was it was a honey baked? I think it was a, was it glazed to have like a, did you cook it or how did it work? What kind of glazed? It came with a glazed packet, which I didn't, I didn't use because I'm not, I was glazing them in other ways, but I'm, uh, I didn't, I didn't want to turn it into a sugary affair. It was already such a salty affair. And that's where my, that's my Q zone. Did you say it was cut already? It was, it was a spiral cut. Are you chopping off a spiral and
1:06:29heating it up? Or did you like slow cook the whole mother fucker? Um, I, you start by slow cook in the whole mud of, mud of fucker. I mean, it's, it, it arrives cured. So you don't have to cook it. The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, you, uh, you, uh, you cook the mother fucker. Worst, but then I've got that sitting in the fridge, an enormous ham. Oh, it's eyes in me. I'm reaching in there, ripping off. That's so big. He's right in the morning. I'm ripping off a, a steak flappin' in the skill. Like I said, other days I'm dicing it up. But, you know, I'm putting in my Italian salad, you know, uh, making sandwiches. I'm doing all kinds of shit. But I only made it like a third of the way through this thing before I was like, I, I, I'm gonna touch my card. Y'all just, I get to do anything with this meat. Enough. You made your point, ham. It's also that thing was like, I could eat this, but I'm just fucking my, I don't want the ham taste anymore. I hate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the, the ham is the ham taste. I could eat this. I just don't want the ham taste anymore. I hate, hey, at this point, that was my issue because I,
1:07:34I, in general, I'm a person who I don't need to switch, you know, people will be like, I had Italian last night. I can't have it today. Like I'm down for eating the same thing. Many meals in a row. You do. I'm a boring man. But a week and a half a ham, I was like, enough. That should be the title of your book. Enough with a fucking ham. You know, we should do, I've said this before, and we're going to do this this year on the pod, making like food stuffs. Like I used a beautiful Lixardo cherry, a courtesy of Lixardo Andy, one of our, one of our drones. Yeah. And, but I also want to learn how to brandy my own cherries. Yes. And I also learned that you could make your own orjot out of mere oat milk. So I think on the pod, it'd be nice to be almond milk. Yes. Almond milk. Yeah. Because that wouldn't make you boil it down and sugar it up. Yeah, boil it down and sugar it up. But we should on the blowout make orjot and then use it on the Friday drink. So like you, you kind of get
1:08:34oh, if you want to dig a little deeper, you listen to the main episode Friday and you're like, and they're like, yeah, yeah, and then we used to orjot, which we made this week. If you want to check it out on the blowout, you know, that's kind of good. That's very fun. We take a deep dive in the drinks. You love it. And then dig a little deeper this week. Sing a little louder. On that note, um, my grandmother used to make deviled ham sandwiches. Like she, she ran like a catering company with like deviled ham, you know, how does that? Yeah, what's it's like tuna fish, but it's ham. Oh, I've had it. Yeah, ham salad. It's all, it's all chopped up like a ham, like a ham salad. I love it. Yeah. So how's deviled ham different from ham salad? This is, ham salad has come up on the pod before and I'm sure I like it because I like all foods, but it's very funny. You guys were like, yeah, ham salad is bomb, you know, ham salad is like, is like something people in like the 48 or the 50s and it's like, it's on a watch. It's cubes of ham with mayo. Yeah, it's, it's a very grand motherly. It's on white bread and wax paper. It's like, yeah, yeah, it's gross looking, but I remember being like, I mean, like,
1:09:39I want that pink slime, baby. It's like an arrow when people use to have lunch boxes and have like, here's my meal, my apple and my coffee for lunch. Deviled ham is a more finely mince or paste like than ham salad, but it's seasoned with spicy ingredients like cayenne or mustard. Very cool. Okay. We got X month. We're going to be deep in X month, but after that, I feel like we got to at least have ham week. Yeah. Deviled ham month. I think of Easter as ham time. Yeah, that is the traditional ham time. That's good. Ham time. We're going ham on the sloppy voice podcast. That's good. That's good. It's going ham month and ham stands for ham all month. Also, we got on this because Tim said he was sick of ham.
1:10:43Well, it's in my freezer, so I'm ready for ham months. Are you guys going to do anything different with this? Oh, I already said grenadine. I'm going to, I fucked this up with the blender, so I'm just going to do the letter of law this time and I'm not going to blend. I'm just going to give it a vigorous shake. Oh, law-biting citizen. I love that. I probably got to make mine with less rum too, right? I can't finish this episode. I'm going to do another one full strength, full seam ahead, full learn. But I want to see if I have some Myers. And if I do have some Myers, I might go three rooms. I mean, not like an additional shot of rum, but you know, I'm like, they all worked together. They all live in there. Folks, we'll be right back with more of the sloppy boys after these messages. We have on the bed. We have on the bed. Let me make a perfect thing. We're back. Round two, guys, I did. I noticed that when you turn a ounce and a half
1:11:52in, in half, it's three quarter ounces. So did I notice? Three quarter ounce light, three quarter ounce gold apple to the state, three quarter ounce dark Myers. So this might be I haven't tasted it yet, but it has all the makings of my favorite drink I've ever sipped. Oh, that you've never had before. This is more runs than I've ever used. Let's see, sipping and toss off it's your favorite drink you've ever sipped. What's that? What up with that? Yeah, where's it? Yeah, it was. It's fantastic. Fantastic. Okay. Now, let me tell you, I made mine to the letter of law this time. I didn't over blend, so it was perfect. And a, as I poured into my glass, the sound was amazing. Hearing the slosh of enough liquid with crushed ice swirling into my cup. The sights and once you have a
1:12:54on and so you wouldn't love that sound, but when you know that it comes with a, with a teaky taste and a buzz, you're like, oh, that's not a hot stink. So I'm now drinking an appropriate test pilot. I love it. And I'll tell you why. Do you guys remember last year we did both types of my ties, Trader Vic and Don Beach. Everyone would think Don Beachcomber is a great guy and everything, but you would think, oh, you're going to have to give it to Trader Vic on my time. Exactly. People say, and he invented the my tie as we know it. So I think we all thought and like, Mitch joined and he invented the my tie as we know it. No. The shocker to the pod, new, new listeners go back and listen, was we were like, yes, the Trader Vic one is pretty perfect, but also this Don Beach one's pretty fucking awesome too. And I just looked it up. Guys, it's this exact drink plus like one ounce of grapefruit juice. So we're essentially having Don Beach's
1:14:00my tie that's not diluted by juice. And so it's it's like a dry my tie. Yeah, we were saying there was one of you saying it was like, it's not juicy. What dry tie? Dry tie. And he didn't use orjada. He used like the fuller number to create a orjada effect. I like orjada better, but this drink is fucking great. I got to see this because it's so stiff, served up in a martini glass. You know what I mean? The the the Tiki drink that's for the night time of fancy night. Sort of the man's Tiki drink. That's nice. That's interesting to me because this I the coolness, the coldness is what I like. I know this feels like a hot weather drink to me. So the but it's so strong. Yeah, we I mean, I just put a little bit of grenadine mine. It's bright red, but you know what I did with this this second round. And it's sort of I was sort of testing a theory. I was working on my own pee brain. I kind of just took the all the bottles were laid out in front
1:15:06of me because that's the guy just made my first drink. And I just kind of splashed a little bit of each thing and maybe even forgot something and threw a little lemon in there. And it tastes the say. Yeah, I know. Putting that shit in there in a but you have to have a positive fun attitude when you do like, hey, give me I'm just making whatever we got that it tastes great. The attitudes part of the drink. Mike, when you were saying last last segment about you wanted to taste you want to make different versions of the drink that are just lacking an ingredient to see like, well, what happens if we get the forum out of there? Whatever. I thought you were going to say, like, I would like to line up the three like teaky drinks that I order the most and see if they're at all different. That's true. But this and a my tie and a zombie next to each other. And I bet you I'm just like, they're 90% the same. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if and this is again, I've got a dumb tongue we've talked about. But I wonder how much of people
1:16:08ordering teaky drinks is like, I'm like, I'm like, zombie stuff or just like, I like the word my tie. I like Zabibovibov. I mean, my ties are have become like a catch off for bars to fake it and just be like, well, we make a my tie like this. And it's like, well, with pineapple juice, lots of pineapple juice are recipe drinks. And you know, obviously some some teaky teaky drinks have a very distinct profile, especially when you start bringing in like coconut and stuff like that. But there are those middle of the road catch all hits like like the my tie and like versions of the my tie at teaky tea where I just I just love them all. And I do think they're about 80% the same. Yeah, fair. How do you rank the test pilot? Order again. How can you not? Oh, yeah. Oh, and the booze news team was by Owen A. Owen A. I knew this is going to be an
1:17:13O A just because of that O A drop. This is just getting weird. I like bringing out the blender. I know I was talking shit earlier. It's it's a pain. You own it. I own it. And it's nice to send a little money down there to Hamilton Beach. They're hurting. They're hurting. They need your help. We should write a sloppy boy song about Hamilton Beach. Let's get to our next show at Hamilton Beach. I like it because Hamilton to me sounds so not beachy. Hamilton. Hamilton. Hamilton. Put that down. You know, that sort of thing. Put down that. I'm going to say this is a this is a strong order again. I love this drink. And if the, you know, anyone in the earnest gant done Beach's families listening, I gotta say thank you to your contribution to my tongue. My path. I love the taste of slime. I always got to give it up again. If you've been if you've been following us for years, you know the deal. But maybe you're brand new. Maybe you're you're a Indy Rock kid who saw
1:18:18us opening for Antarctica with a spooky. Yeah. For the first time. I gotta tell you this. A couple of different rums. Doesn't matter what they are. Lime. And then something weird, something sweet and weird to balance that out. You have yourself a teaky drink. Something borrowed, something blue. Now that it's just weird that this guy just cooked this up. He wasn't like a real bartender. And these drinks didn't exist. So I don't know why that that ratio makes me feel like I'm on vacation, but it just does vacation ratio. That's good. Vacation ratio. Vacation ratio. Vacation ratio. Folks, it's an order again. I'm nervous for, you know, next week, I think we should do the the jet pilot, huh? Oh, you're saying you want to add grapefruit and cinnamon solution and possibly honey syrup. No, that wasn't three dots in a dash. I'm scrambled, but I'm back on the teaky zone. I like it. And can I tell you something, Jeff, X month is a we're watching X-Men
1:19:23movies. It's really it's that's a challenging month of my life. So it really softens the blow if I get to have a teaky drink everyone. Yeah, this is, you know, I can do a teaky month on the main and X month on the. That's pretty good. God. This is no way to kick off X month. I can't keep a train of thought. I was making, I was making around two and being like, did I add the same book? Oh, damn, I know more. I didn't add Sam Boca to this one. I forgot. Actually, the one constructive bit of criticism I'll give is that like I don't really need any liquor or anything in this. And so even even the six drops of pernode slash Sam Boca, I don't need that. Yeah, I agree. I'm not minding it, but I certainly don't need it. And those six drops could be six more drops of fulernum or whatever the fuck you need to balance it out. Great. And also, I was using the six drops of Sam Boca. And I was like, great, at this rate, I'll be done with this, I'll be done with this bottle in the fucking. It's funny how often he says these six drops, like I think that
1:20:26comes up in his my tie in the zombie. And we're like, okay, buddy, there's different numbers of drops, pal. No, it's God of you six. Like, when it's six drops, eventually, isn't it just like, I don't know, five milliliters? Yeah, that's a lot of drops. It's probably just a half ounce. That's our show. Follow us on social media at the sloppy boys where we release these recipes ahead of time. And if you can't get enough boys, now's the time to get on the fucking patron, folks. Next month. We're watching next man. I'm trying to get Tim into it or at least, at least see what's good about it. At least. Mike, we'll see. We'll, we'll have time. You're going to be a little tricky wicked as well. We'll see. You know, you would say these are the, they're blockbusters, these movies, yes? Yeah. Yeah, I would tell you. Good. That leads me very, this leads me perfectly into the pub quiz question of the show, which was the first movie to be given the title blockbuster. Jaws. Jaws is correct. See, I was too slow on the uptake, but I would have guessed Jaws.
1:21:34You would have guessed Jaws, too, the return. Return of Bruce. It's because Bruce, the shark, he busts a block at the end of that movie. He chops through, right? He takes a karate lessons, the whole movie, is that what that Jaws is? In the post credits, he takes karate lessons, and he chops through a block. Wait, is Jaws to the return? No, Jaws 2 is just Jaws 2. Too bad. I guess I don't know everything when it comes to Jaws. Jaws 3, the second return. All right, I'm out of here. What are you talking about? You got some place to be? You're snowed in, Mike. You already admitted it. Hey, bye. Bye, folks. I know I should have kept my mouth shut. Goodbye, folks. Bye.
