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. Yo! And Tim Kalpakis.

What is up? And we are your hosts, the Sloppy Boys. We're still sort of coming down after that 100th episode. We've been out partying all week. God, the ACAS people took us out. We're still sort of coming down after that 100th episode. We've been out partying all week. God, the ACAS people took us out. We met the mayor. He was like, you boys, you did it. You boys are the best. My beautiful boys. You boys, you wanted to cook for us, boys.

Anything you want, it's yours. We couldn't think of anything. Yeah, I'm thinking of it now. We want to play for the Dodgers for an inning. All three of us pitching. For an inning. Yeah. Fucking. All three of us pitching for an inning. We all pitch. Planked. No, because I feel like we'd lose for them if we played the whole game.

Probably not. If one of us per inning played in a Dodgers game, like, we were on the team. No one would notice. They'd notice, but they wouldn't lose. They wouldn't lose. We'd be fine. If we were pitching. Yeah, if we were pitching, they'd lose.

Well, I'd be up there. Bases loaded. It all comes down to Jeffy. Bottom of the ninth. And? Out of the park. Home run. Nice, dude.

Nice, dude. That's my boy. Nice, my man. I went to a Yankees game a couple weeks ago, let's say. Yes, weeks ago. With John Haskell. We all know John Haskell. Yeah.

With his brother. With his brother. All right, so John's not in this story. John didn't go because he couldn't go. But went with his brother, Matt. And we hung out. We were having a great time at the game. The Yankees are down.

Then it starts raining. Maybe sixth inning. We said, well, let's just go home. We paid, I think, $5 for the ticket so I wasn't like... Isn't that great? Yeah, it's the best. An event that you can waltz in and out of. It's low stakes. It didn't feel like I had to be there.

Turns out, it ended up being this great comeback game once the game started again. There was a walk-off grand slam for them to win in the 10th inning. You missed it! My nephew, who's a huge Yankees fan, called me the next day. He's like, you laughed at the Sixers?

I was like, how does he know? It's already been discussed. And he's like, I can't believe you did that. I was like, can I tell you something? It didn't even bother me. He's like, oh my God. I was like, what? I got you a free hat

oh my god he couldn't be like blew his mind that i i couldn't say yeah it's funny uh uh don't you think that speaking of the the dodgers we're ellie's not really a sports town you know no it's interesting because there's a lot of sports teams lots of sports teams big city a lot of people with allegiances to their hometown a lot of people who came were transplants so they got an affinity for their old they got the crusty baseball cap of their old hometown team yeah but but that thing washed folks but uh and there of course there's like big fan fan the fan base is fandoms for each of these places like teams that could fill a stadium. But I was just thinking the Dodgers, I would say other than maybe Justin Turner, I think you could be a Dodger and walk down Sunset Boulevard.

Yeah. I bet Clayton Kershaw can walk around in LA and not be too hounded. That's the big thing they say about baseball and football. Nobody knows what those guys look like, unless you're a superstar. And it's like, you don't really get bothered. What about golf?

Golf? Nah, those guys. Tiger Woods probably. What about Gronk? Gronko, they know him, but it's because golf,

I don't, I bet he could walk around. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I was at a sex club and he and I both had masquerade, ball mask on, and I was fucking him, he was fucking me. And then we were. I don't know. I was at a sex club, and he and I both had masquerade. Ball mass on. And I was fucking him, and he was fucking me.

And then we were like, wait a second. He was like, you're that TV writer, aren't you? If you went to a sex party, you were like, I hear Goff's going to be here. Like, yeah, but which one's him? You look around, it's a guy with a big Rams helmet on. He plays for the Lions. The Detroit Lions. He used to play for the Rams. The Detroit Lions. He used to play for the Rams.

That's right. When you say LA's not a big sports town, what's that based on? Because to me it's not, but I don't give a shit about sports, and I feel like a lot of people who don't give a shit about sports move to LA because we're like little indoor boys who would rather uh sure move pen to paper then yeah that's your standard then bat to ball um i remember one time uh we were somebody had like an improv show at io the night that uh the lakers won the the the nba finals yeah and it was the only time in la where i like felt a thing like that,

where other than like an organized parade or something like that, it was just like, people were kind of like hanging out of their windows on Hollywood Boulevard being like Lakers. And, and it was like, Oh, I feel this,

but I've been here, you know, the, the, like the, the LA Kings won two Stanley cups and you didn't feel it. Right. Yeah.

Yeah. And then, and I feel that way about most teams. And it's like Dodgers has their like – there's like a demographic that's hugely into the Dodgers. But you just can't capture – I feel like maybe the bowl games at the Rose Bowl is when it feels the most like there's a sport going on or something. I know, Jimmy.

When the Rams were in the Super Bowl a couple years ago, no, they won it last year, but a couple years ago when they were also in it, you couldn't tell. You had no idea that the team that just moved to LA was in the Super Bowl.

And that we are. We have Super Bowl and Stanley Cups and World Series champions. We have them and people are just like okay and then like and it's that lazy i mean we complained uh recently on this very pod about our west coast crowds which doesn't bother us because we're la guys but like we're fine playing a concert for some chilled out chillers but then when we play in philadelphia we're like holy shit

this is fun you're right so it's not just obfuscated by the size of the population. No. It's like, it truly is, despite even having a giant, giant population. It's a sort of lackadaisical. Yeah. Like when the Eagles, Philadelphia Eagles football team was in the Super Bowl and won, I'm sure you knew that all over the town.

Right. Like it was probably ever, the radio next to the next day must be like, we won, we fucking won, you fuck. Like it was probably the radio next to the next day must be like, we won, we fucking won, you fuck. I was in Denver on a, I was just looking, I looked up, it's lackadaisical, not laxity. I said like lax, like relax. Oh, I always thought it was lackadaisical. Lackadaisical.

I always thought it was laxadaisical. Lacking enthusiasm. Adaisical enthusiasm. Enthusiasm, right. I'm much adasical for this. I was in Denver on a Sunday, regular season NFL Sunday, not an important Sunday. Between, like, for those three hours while that game was on,

like, the town was empty except for the sports bars. People were either at the stadium or they were watching the game and they're so proud of the broncos you know like the broncos are their whole thing and just in la it's weird because it's like we've had like if they have john elway we have magic johnson we've had these we've had like lebron and kobe and these huge stars but they just don't they don't we don't build our i was at uh fucking driving out of madison wisconsin when there was a uh university of wisconsin the badgers had a game on you could feel people driving through the suburbs people were like would take camping chairs out of their houses and then sit in their front yard and just listen to the radio because they want to see their neighbors oh interesting in these other cities though i feel like sports teams are more of a uniting factor like is it because they have

less industry or something i think because the population the population in la is humongous and it's just tough to get everyone on board with the same thing but yeah we're spread across a lot of shit yeah yeah it's weird though because dodger stadium is massive it's like 55 000 and they they do fill it so it's like that's a lot of people it is a lot of people no but this is like famous like like green bay it's like a small place with a professional team and they're pumped to have that team or not even like major league like when you look at some places in Texas where like high school football will like make and break titles. I don't want your life. Yeah, yeah.

Huh. I just can't get to the bottom of it. Well, welcome to Sportscast here. These are the three guys that know all the ins and outs of the industry. I need to Campbell correct myself. Remember last episode or two episodes ago, I said we're talking about number 99. And I said another famous L.A. athlete. I said we were talking about number 99 and I said another famous LA athlete

I said Aaron Donaldson yeah just Aaron Donald I was damn I got so excited I didn't know who it was

yeah so I didn't expect you to correct me he's not going to correct me on a football player's name he's out to lunch not if I got a Mega Man band guy

wrong yes yes he's called Wood Chip Man not Chipper Man Wood Chip Now if I got a Mega Man bad guy wrong, I'm out of here for a week. Yes. He's called Wood Chip Man, not Chipper Man. Wood Chip Man. Fuck yeah. All right.

I can't fuck you. Can we get into some booze news? Hit it. Don't lose pretty much money or you'll split chestnuts. And I'm like, y'all are awesome, my boys. And I want to drink our drinks. And when I think we should then. Pull our sweaty dicks out and then compare them.

It's time for a little section of the show we call. Blue Space. It's time for a little section of the show we call. Blue Space. Damn, that was sent to us by Facelike Thunder. That's like cool. That was like interesting music. That sounded like the voice was like Danny Elfman, sort of. But then these kind of off-kilter syncopation time shifts. This is like real music.

That was art. He was doing something that I think the booze news, when we opened up booze news themes to the public, it was like, yeah, we're going to introduce this segment. And then a lot of it became funny things. But this went back to like, this is what we do on booze news. Here's booze news. Yeah.

Now you're listening to booze news. Yeah, it's about booze news. That felt like a proper introduction to a real segment he brought it back to it was nice because he brought it back to the where it started from but he changed it he made it a little more modern it says face like thunder

so I'm guessing this is a musician so this is like someone who knows music that's good normally I bristle when a better musician than us sends in music for our podcast well like Rachmaninoff sent in that one concerto that's the only person who's better i would love somebody out there who's a classical person make a classical version of your booze news opening theme that would be good front of the line pass oh that was cool here's some booze

oh and if you have a booze news theme email it to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com top story and booze news today hanford is tiptoeing off to the kitchen oh keep going he's being he's being a little sneaky get back here top story and booze news this was sent to us by our friend mitch on the web listen to this a tampa bay restaurant group has bought the don the beachcomber brand there was a brand there's the brand yeah there was a restaurant down in orange county that was amazing it was like a whole thing okay don the beachcomber is don don the beachcomber the guy the original tiki guy don beach don ernest gant galt ernest gant yeah um who opened the the first like tiki bar as we know it in hollywood and then you know invented a lot of the original

drinks it's been a while since we dealt with don the beachcomber i feel like we did him pretty early on i know he kind of came around and episode two zombie then more harry craddock type shit lately well and then we also, there was a little bit of Trader Vic in the mix and some Harry Lee. It's over our own cocktails. Okay, cool. Don, welcome back.

Welcome back to the show. Don's back. Well, ooh. Another thing we talked about about Don was there's a documentary being made about him and I follow their Instagram. They did the whole crowdfunding thing. Yeah, wait a minute.

We went to a tiki bar and you talked to somebody about it. That's right. Tonga Hut. Sweet talked her. Because you had just seen it and she was like She was in it. It was towards the end of the night

and she was like, how many in your party? How many in your party? And then you sweet talked her and you were like, hey, I saw you on the beach cover, Doctor. She was like, well, well, well, right this way, you handsome man. Respectfully young gentleman. I checked up on that and it's still, they're like doing the thing of like, they've already like crowdfunded, but now they're like to pay for like music and color, we're having

a fundraising party or you could buy these tiki mugs or stuff like that. That's cool. But here's what I was going to say. You could buy these tiki mugs or stuff like that. That's cool. But here's what I was going to say. Don the beach Comer became a brand, like a chain of bars,

tiki bars, like trader Vicks. Yes. Like that. And there was one in orange County and it was dope. When we first moved to LA, it was there and then it closed down. But now the name had been kind of sitting there doing nothing.

And the Don, the beach Comer name was like the owner of the license was just just was this lady who had worked for don and he'd like given signed it over to her and when he died she got it and nothing was going on with it so this restaurant group there's a chain in in florida called tiki docks which is tiki bars i guess and they own some other restaurants as well but they bought the name and the recipes and the guy's image and all the stuff so it's this weird thing it's like fan fiction you know it's not the real thing but you're trying to use that's why i like at least the recipes are involved sure but so tiki docs restaurants are now gonna have don the beachcomber bars and then they're also gonna be opening up they have plans to open up like freestanding don the beachcomber restaurants now and this is like mostly a regional east coast thing or

it's a florida-based company but i think that they want to go bigger than that damn i would do that yeah so cover that kind of cool i'm guessing you know they're probably just picturing like margaritaville yeah but tiki-er and that they even said in their statement they were like almost apologetic they're like when we opened the tiki dogs chain we admittedly hadn't looked much into the history of tiki now we want to do something that is a little more has the blessing of the dawn beach uh name but you know it also is just it's like a sequel or what you know like they just bought a name and they're just using it interesting exciting yeah that's cool people are on the move. Business

is being done. Business is being done. Now, Michael, you're acting very sneaky. No, I'm not sneaky. I'm just trying to get my little... I'm getting my segment prepared. Well, it's time for your segment. Now, this is a segment, not a section. This is a segment of Booze News. Good band, bad band was a section of

shit chat. We didn't do good band, bad band. Did we? Jeez. Beatles, good band, bad band was a section of shit chat we didn't do good bad bad jeez beatles good band bad band oh well save it for that section all right so you guys yes we do a lot of local stuff yeah but i wanted to take us a little internationally oh and i brought in a nip of something i've talked about before. Something called salamiaki. It's a Finnish liquor. Now, I mentioned him already on the pod. John Haskell. Yep.

His wife Rosa is Finnish. His wife Rosa is Finnish. They both went to Finland recently. And she came back. We went out to drinks the other night. And she, lovely. Rose is the best. Brings up this big gift bag.

She had a bunch of salamiaki stuff for me. It's beautiful. It's a black liquid. Salamiaki. The sticker on this little bottle looks almost like a postage stamp. It's got a ribbed side. It looks quite international. Yes.

So salamiaki is like a liquor. It's a international. Yes. So salmiakki is like a liquor. It's a licorice. It's a salty, sweet licorice. Black licorice. And it's like something that kids in Finland eat all the time. And they just have this, like, they love this taste. It's salty, sweet. It's black licorice.

So this is basically that taste as a vodka. Great. But you go into a bar and you're like a salamiaki specifically vodka i think that's what i've read and what she told me sure uh yeah that's a good question i think it's more of like that flavor can be put in other stuff but this is a salamiaki tasting vodka great and And we're going to do, it's a 30% alcohol, and it's the way that it gets its flavor is from ammonia chloride. Can you believe that?

It is believed, this is from a website, it is believed that the salty licorice originated from drugstores. Ammonia chloride, the ingredient which gives salamiaki its flavor, was originally used in cough medicine and supposedly was combined to licorice to encourage children to take their medicine.

So here we go. Wow. Let's do it. But this was, yeah, so she brought me a bunch of candies and another type of liquor that wasn't exactly salamiaki, but it's more of like the... Ooh, it's kind of thick. Ooh, thick.

I put it in the freezer, too. And I'm just putting a little shot glasses here. Get that all evenly out. And she said you can shoot it, you can sip it, you can do whatever. But I was asking her, I was like, do people shoot these? And she's like, yes. I said, do you put it on ice and make it a cocktail? And she said, not really.

It's more of a... Give it a smell. I'm going to do a sip because I want to taste. Okay. I'm getting Jaeger. It's giving Jaeger. It's giving Jaeger. It's giving good and plenty.

Yeah, for sure. Ooh. Oh, it doesn't taste like Jaeger. You're right about salty sweet. Yeah. Yeah. It is. It's great.

Wow. I'm very curious what this could do mixed with something. I like that salty bite. She said it's called a salmiakki shot or familiarly What's the word I'm trying to say there?

Familiarly. Yeah. Salmari. Familiarity. Give me amari. Familiarity. Give me a Salmari you'd say in Helsinki. If you're familiar enough, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Fascinating.

Yeah, isn't it weird? It's a wild taste. And I don't know where you can get it in the US. It'd be tough, I think. Haskell's wife. Rosa. Thank you, Rosa. We love it.

And check outosa's art on instagram do we know her handle yes i got it right here yeah she's a great uh a digital artist she makes some really cool the type of stuff you feel like you can like touch you know tactile tactile and she does if you know john haskell's music he he does plush moto on spotify she does, if you know John Haskell's music, he does Pleshmodo on Spotify. She does all the art for his albums. Okay, it's Rosa Amunkoi, A-A-M-U-N-K-O-I. Great art. There you go.

And an even better, Salmiakki. Yep. Salmiakki sounds like something you would say as you're doing it, like, Salmiakki! Like skull. Yeah. Oh, man, it's thick. It's tough to get that last little drop out of the glass. I know, I couldn't even pour it all out of this thing.

Ooh! So that's just a little trip in what a new section segment, a section of the segment called Hanford, First Class Hanford where we fly all around the world. Huh?

Yes. We're working on the title, but it's about, uh, me taking people around the world to drink. This segment. Damn. Okay. Um. Is that it for Booze News? Wrap it up.

Duck Hunt. Duck Hunt. Laughing Dog. Laughing Dog. Damn him. Duck hunt. Laughing dog. Laughing dog. Damn him. Damn him. That sticks on your breath there, the salmiakki. Why does the dog laugh if you don't shoot any birds?

He's on your side. No, he's laughing at you. He's mocking you. Yeah, he's on your side because he's such a dick. That's the thing. You're doing so poorly, even your teammates are like, fuck this. Fuck you. All right, do you want to hear about the drink of the day?

P.O.S. Yeah. Folks, today we're talking about the Aviation. You might have noticed it because it's purple. What the hell? What the hell? Who's drinking that purple drink? So we're drinking Salmiakki completely black.

Yeah. Another drink that's purple. This sort of has a lavender hue, wouldn't you say? In the pictures, sure. I haven't had one. You've had? I've not had. I've heard.

I've heard. I always see this and I say, I had to have one of those. And then I get it confused with Ryan Reynolds' gin brand. Right. Okay, that's a confusing thing because, yeah, go ahead. I feel like I've heard in context of this podcast like it's a blank like an aviation it wasn't like paper plane maybe it was like we did something that was a tweak i like planes aviation uh a casino i think was maybe a tweak on a cash i could be outside from casino to tuxedo we've covered them all all right well

great movies by the way the tuxedo and casino you know we we drank a tuxedo and watched the tuxedo at the same time i was kind of hoping that we would watch casino when we drank the casino we didn't oh i think we also talked about for the 100th episode blowout. 100th blowout episode, watching Tuxedo again. All right. We have to do that. Yeah, we should. Well, we got to. So, Mike, you haven't had, you haven't heard?

Only heard, but in the context of what I was talking about. Never had. I agree. This confused me because of Ryan Reynolds' gin effort. Aviation. And this is a drink that can be made, or, and this is a cocktail that is made with gin. Weird. Here's the history from the IBAworld.com

website. This is nice that IBA can just give us a nice succinct... If IBA could be a one-stop shop, they could really be... Yeah, that's really nice. But please sell it, you know? Yeah, okay. Do a voice. I'll put a. Yeah, that's really nice. It does mean a lot of favors. Just read it, but please sell it, you know? Yeah, okay. Yeah. Do a voice. I'll put a little music in.

Also be funny. Yeah, funny voice. Aviation. No. Aviation was created in New York at the Wallkick Hotel by the head bartender, Hugo Enslin. Is that familiar? While he was writing his book, Recipes for Mixed Drinks, 1916, one of the last cocktail books published before the start of American Prohibition.

Wait, what's the name of the hotel? The Wallkick. I've been to the Warwick. Does that count? No. Waldorf, Warwick. Mix them together, you got Wallkick. Lately, David Wondrich found the aviation recipe in a 1911 magazine, so the recipe is thought to have been born earlier than 1916.

Earlier than that book. The recipe is found again in Harry Craddock's 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book. There we go. But without the creme de violette. This is probably due to the difficulty of finding the violet cream during the post-war period in the 1960s.

And the bartenders definitively gave up on the blue color of the drink. Purple color of the drink. The IBA proposes it today in its original version with the creme de violette, which is now on the market again. This flagrant ingredient not only gave the mix a sweetly floral taste,

but also its beautiful sky blue color. That's nice. What's in this little fucker? And is it little? Now that's a good question. I'm seeing a lot of things in little tiny Nicanor glasses. 45 milliliters gin.

Shot and a half gin. 15 milliliters maraschino luxardo. Got it. 15 milliliters fresh lemon juice. You guys maybe didn't notice. I was squeezing lemons earlier. You had told us. And one bar spoon.

Creme de violette. This is another one of those crazy things. Tim bought the big bottle. And you just need... A bar spoon. Yeah. Huh. Now, when you're saying...

Sometimes I say lemon juice, but I say... Joie de lemon. Are you saying cream of violet, but just with a funny accent? No, it's not that. I know, I know. Creme de violette. You want to know how to make it? I would love nothing more.

Add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker. Shake with cracked ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. That's right. It's up, folks. Cracked ice. If it's up, if it's up, if it's up, if it's up folks cracked ice if it's up if it's up if it's up it if it's up cardi b garnish optionally with a maraschino cherry got it um any last words last nice knowing you yeah i wonder why they call the aviation because probably because it's sky blue

it's a horse Sometimes you don't have to go too far for the answer. I just googled and there's a movie called The Aviation Cocktail. Hold on. I got some extra info on this guy. Yeah, sure. I looked it up. Oh my god. I'm still on my Salmiakki page.

Whoa! Handy boy. You gotta pull your shit together. You're being recorded live. This is on palmspringslife.com Oh, handy boy. You got to pull your shit together. You're being recorded live. Okay. This is on palmspringslife.com. Top 10 most Googled cocktails this summer. The top one, the aviation. Clocking in at 33,000 plus monthly searches.

The aviation cocktail leads the way in the search engine results on Google. That was two weeks ago in news on the aviation cocktail i don't buy it should i read again this is from palm springs life.com i don't that no nobody's looking up this thing speaking of obscure uh newspapers i had to subscribe to the tampa bay newspaper to read that story about... I paid four bucks to read that article. Damn. Now I got to remember to auto... To not... So, folks, if you're listening to this podcast, you're loving it.

Oh, it's free, free. Well, we need one of you guys to jump over it to be a patron. Sure. Patron. Well, why don't we take a little break, and when we come back, we'll find out if this drink is, in fact,

blue or purple, like I thought. It looks purple, doesn't it? I've seen purple or orange. But the liquor that Tim got is red, pink. What a hue. What a hue. We're going to mix it with some yellow, yellow lemon juice. Wow.

Yellow and red does make blue. Perfect. All right, folks. Yellow and red, you're better off dead. Let's go to the break. See you after the ads. And we're back with Aviations. In hand.

They're beautiful. This is a good looking drink. Yes. Not the blue hue. Not the blue hue. And not even the purple he really thank you mike when you asked in hand did you really not know in hand in hand help me out here buddy i know we have aviations but are they in here

all right i've refused to look down okay oh refuse to look down. Okay. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh.

Okay. Cosmo vibes. I'm definitely swayed by the sight. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But are we getting violet breath? Kind of a...

No. The Luxardo dominates. Oh, that's what I'm getting. This... Actually, but there's like a mellow, there's like a lavender-ish thing going on there. Yeah, a little bit at the end. It's very spring-like. It's very birds and the bees, out in the garden

vibe. You're thinking love making. Yeah, yeah. I'm thinking I might pour this on my bush. This is Valentine's Day. yeah yeah i'm thinking i might pour this on my bush this valentine's day pour this on your bush pour it i also just love bush i love it that it's like it's like singular like my book like your bush is always it's ever changing it's always. It's a mini splendor thing. Yes, yes. It grows. It gets trimmed.

It grows. It's ever-going. But the idea that it's just a bush is funny. It's like, yeah. That's my bush. A lawn is made up of blades of grass, but you're always cutting that. You call it a lawn. Dumping liquors all over it.

Dump this on your bush. Dump this on your bush. I also like this Valentine's Day. You're by yourself. You got to do something. You're just putting a sticky drink all on your bush. Dump this on your bush. I also like this Valentine's Day. Like, you're by yourself. You got to do something. You're just putting a sticky drink on your face. Kind of romantic. Yeah, well, in a way.

In a weird way. What does this remind me of? I think it reminds... It's giving Hemingway because of the look. Sort of a Hemingway... Wasn't there like a cool new york new era drink that was like this like a naked and famous um yeah naked and famous did that does did that use i think that was one that was like oh the aviation is a take on the aviation i think that

Brooklyn. Not quite. That was more of a... No, that's like a Manhattan. Yeah.

This was... Casino? Casino. Casino. What's in the casino? Old Tom Jim gin. Maraschino liqueur. Lemon juice and orange bitters.

So this is very similar. This is very similar. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Did you steal any violet on the way in? I This is very similar. Interesting. Did you steal any violet on the way in? I didn't sip it. I'll grab some. This is, to me, looks like

pink lemonade. When I took my first sip, I took a big gulp because I'm thirsty. I was like, oh, pink lemon. It don't taste like that. I'm just going to go from the bottle. Is that okay? Ooh, violet smell. Sway by the smell.

You ever smell such a thing? I've never smelled it. That sounded like you doing your impression of drinking. Mmm. What's going on over there? Mike drinking from a barrel of liquor. We're laughing. I haven't gotten it. You made a lot of noise.

Put it in your glass. We don't have to be weirdos. Yeah, thank you. You got a glass. I got a glass. Ooh, it's nice and cold. Yeah. Okay, we're sipping liquor.

Oh, so I went to Cap and Cork. I asked, and then this was the only violet thing they had. This was fancy. This was $35. Wow. Interesting. Not bad, right? Flav.

Very floral. Oh, yeah. Sweet as fuck. Yep. 22% alcohol by volume, so 40 proof-ish. It's very chartreuse-ian. Yes. What does it taste like to me?

It's kind of candy-ish.h oh there's a recipe on the back for an aviation on this thing and it says half ounce of this stuff not a bar spoon oh yeah half ounce maraschino ounce and a half dry gin and then three quarter ounce lemon juice but maybe a bar spoon is a half ounce i could imagine something like that what is maybe oh yeah i don't know um other this has a floral thing on, but if you sip it and you think of Rose's grenadine, the cheap red stuff. It's a more flowery grenadine, folks, if you're wondering. It's a good taste.

I could drink that on the rocks just like that and have it be a little after dinner sipper. This little guy? Yeah. Okay. I wanted to say this uh aviation cocktail and we mentioned the aviation brand gin we mentioned its owner uh ryan reynolds i wanted to mention that i don't like ryan reynolds yeah you don't rubs me the wrong way always has that track smug too handsome to be funny not funny uh have you heard the term prom king comedy yeah yeah he seems like one of those guys he's like one of those guys and he's got the itch to be oh i can't just be rich i can't just yeah he's got the itch to be rich but no he

can't just be a movie star he has to oh i have a little comedy show and i have a podcast and i do every fucking thing he's stealing staff running jobs from me we're both sending in our uh fallon packets he is at the forefront of my favorite marvel movie deadpool deadpool 2 i would never specifically 2 i don't know you could never get tinted deadpool what about green lantern no green hornet no that was a bad movie i don't think i You could never get Tim to Deadpool. What about Green Lantern? No. Green Hornet. No, that was a bad movie. I don't think I saw it. One of them was Seth Rogen.

I'll give you that. Right. Yeah. But I forget which one. But I think those were bad movies. I forget. Now, that guy's been around, though, paying his dues. Ryan Reynolds.

He was in Two Guys. Longer than you. That's very true. Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place. I watched that show. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A multi-game sitcom in the 90s.

As like a junior high kid. Yeah. Yeah. And I remember actually thinking multi-game sitcom in the 90s. As like a junior high kid. Yeah. And I remember actually thinking he was funny. I was like, this guy's like Jim Carrey. Pretty amazing. That was like 30 years ago

and he's still kicking. I mean, should he just... Still kicking ass. Would you like him if he just stayed like a Matthew Perry like sitcom guy? Would you like him?

I would like... Is it because he's a hunk and he's a fucking superhero? Or is it because he kind of talks like this? Well, I can't separate it because I can't say that I like is it because he's a hunk and he's a fucking superhero or is it because he kind of talks like this well i can't separate it because i can't say that it's because he is that it's because he's doing jim carrey and then and uh i just think there's something about like i can't say if he stayed in his lane because it's not like i've seen him do drama but like in hobbs and shaw when he shows up and he's like be popping and scatting all over the place it's like yeah he is I always hate like comedic actors always get more roles than comedians so you think of the funniest people right you have ever met or ever laid eyes upon

casting directors always pass over them to have blander but better looking people and I feel like that Ryan Reynolds has overshot his potential and become this big movie star but by being what is essentially like in every sitcom which is like oh is that okay is that how it goes between those two

it's like that type of thing Deadpool like he's got this bit online where he's kind of, he's married to Blake Lively and they're so in love. They like roast each other, right? They roast each other. He has little jokes about like, yo, I went to Disneyland and then I told my kids all about it.

Some sort of joke about not bringing them. That's so mean. Bring the kid. It's funny. Bring the kid. How old do you think he is? 48? 45. He's better looking than me

and I'm only 39. I kind of thought he was 50. Yeah. I think he was on Guys, Girls, and Pizza Places young. At like 19 and we were like 15. Canadian fella. Canadian fella. That explains a lot he has and explains the sort of chipper attitude because in interviews he'll be like you know i actually

have depression but i find that humor really helps me and i'm like hmm that's uh i should try but it's you know doesn't he have like... Sometimes someone will have a brightness to them and you're like, they're either like megachurch Christian or they're Canadian. Sure. Either deep south or far north, but blonde and happy.

I kind of only know the Christian person you're talking about through... 30 Rock? Parodies of that. People doing characters of it or something. There's some of them out here in LA. Joke version. deep the christian person you're talking about through 30 rock parodies of that like people doing characters there's some of them out here in la like a joke version you ever met someone who's bahai oh yeah uh behind me in traffic yes you have met them no rain wilson behind yeah rain wilson is bahai i shouldn't make a joke like that that's a religion you can i think it was a

good pun yeah yeah good fun it's more of a language joke than a okay all right religion you can i think it was a good pun yeah yeah good it's more of a language joke than a okay all right yeah you're a word well i hope i didn't offend anybody i mean i'm the one who's offending i'm saying that it's like a chipper upbeat la religion yeah and rain's a cool dude yeah sure what is it what is well adjusted what is it do they have a god or they have a christian if i had to guess I think it is Jesus based but I feel like it's sort of hip and kind of like pop music II and and belong frosted tips and it's kind of cool frosted tips it's very LA yeah yeah yeah well what's gonna be a religion

based forget it no no I'm gonna say what I was going to say when's there going to be a religion based on frosted flakes it's great it's great one flake one flake hey have a frosted flake

it's great I'm going to put my dirty fingers in my drink and eat the cherry nice great that's a good ass cherry what's good be better that's a good-ass cherry. Oh. Yeah.

What's could be better? Mm-hmm. That's a true Luxardo. What's could be better? Here in the Dutton house. I gotta pee. Mm. I have to. Mike!

All right. We're right in the middle of it. Should we cut the commercial? Yeah. Folks, we'll see you back after Hanford gives it the old flush flush. Push, push, whiz, whiz. Now we're back with our final thoughts on the aviation. Tim, go for it.

I like it. Order again. It's good when you want to be fancy, but it's a springtime drink, so I'm thinking your Yellowbirds, your... Yellowbird crushes this, though. Yellowbird is better than this. This is more of a mellow vibe. Damn right it does. Where's the lie?

But I like it. It reminds me of the charcuterie drinks. It's elegant. You kind of want to wear some white gloves. It is. And the glasses we have here are also nice. Coops. They're perfect for it.

I want to see this in a blue. I want to see it in a purple. Yeah, I want to see a purple. And that's what is going to lead me to my, you guys are going to find this critique very vexing. This is a didn't like, but order again. Huh. So to torture yourself? No, no.

To find the correct version of it. Oh. Yeah. You gotta make the one from the back of the bottle. Yeah. Exactly. You should have done that right now. This is another case. No, no, I'm done drinking. This is another case of led astray by the IBA. A new distinction I'm coming up with because the

merit the maraschino maraschino overtook it yeah and i just don't buy that the ib anytime we have a drink and it's like looks interesting it's got a cool ingredient supposed to be blue supposed to be this color and it's this color i'm blaming iba forBA for this. The jury is out for me. Mike, I'm kind of with you. You can't say this isn't in order again. It's a good drink. I want to try this at a cocktail place. Or like what you say sometimes. You're like, I want to have somebody good make this.

Someone who knows what they're damn doing. What drink did we do recently that had maraschino in it? Yeah. It wasn't a Monte Carlo. Oh oh you know what this reminds me of that we liked the last word that green guy that's detroit is that maybe what i was thinking in there oh oh that's another truce yes yeah and that and gin yes and maybe is that the one that's like that feels like a new y-y new era, right?

No, that's a Detroit old era, came back into style in Seattle and is- Fuck! Fuck! That one is a little more amazing because we were marveling at that one. They were like, man, the lime juice is clashing together with these, like the chartreuse and stuff.

So it's both fancy, but zippy peppy. Yeah. This one is, i would say it's very similar it's a it's a pink floral take on that yep um i like the last word better but this is good all these liqueurs they're very similar sharp even chartreuse and violet like yeah yeah there's just sugary and they just have that taste it's like there's an expensive liqueur and there's like like as we were sipping, we were like,

it's kind of rosy. I'm saying it's candy. It's just like, it's a little something different. Yeah. Don't know what it is, but it's that. I just know that I do like

that Luxardo Maraschino stuff is good. Like it's a stank that's taste of sticks and stems. Sticks and stems may break my hems. Pems. Pems cup.im's cup.

Pim's cup. Hey, that's not on the IBA, is it? No, we should do it. I had one at Edendale the other day. Yeah? I had it. That's like a spring guy, right? We're back at Edendale?
