As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors, like when our estrogen levels
drop during menopause, causing the risk of heart disease to go up.
Know your risks.
Visit heartandstroke.ca. We lost some microphones towards the end of this podcast, so I had to do some audio salvaging. This sort of thing has happened on the blowout before, and we're still trying to find the root cause of it.
Anyway, it's just about the last minute or two of this episode gets a little funkified, but we hope you enjoy it anyway.
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 Michael Hanford.
What?
And Tim Kalpakis.
What is up?
And we are back from tour, which you can hear about on our latest Patreon episode.
West Coast Tour Recap. And we are live in person this time. Once again, on our latest Patreon episode, West Coast Tour Recap.
And we are live in person this time, once again.
All in one room, back in L.A.
Back in Jeff's house.
Sitting configuration a little different.
Jeff has taken the main seat.
The throne.
It's not the main seat. It's the main seat.
That's a nice seat, Tim.
I've been giving Tim the main seat.
Yeah, Tim and I are on the couch, which I don't mind.
I like it.
I like it.
I'm doing a side sit.
My microphone broke, so I'm using kind of a funny microphone, if I sound different.
But I'm also kind of, I got my legs crossed, kind of sitting sideways like a talk show
guest who's getting a little too cozy.
I'm taking it easy on this one.
I'm not my usual, you're up on the microphone, tense.
I'm so tense all the time.
That's the big complaint about me recently is, Mike, you're very tense.
We're a little woke.
We're a little road weary.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes, very much.
It kind of sands the rough edges off you.
We did two big long driving days in a row.
Yeah.
Two, I think, 10-hour days.
From Vancouver to LA in two days.
Stayed in a beautiful town.
Well, this is all on the Patreon.
Sorry, folks, you're not getting that.
Well, if you want to know where we stayed
between, yeah,
before we got the rental van home.
Where did they stay? Days in or
comforted? Okay, now,
well, since we are talking about tour,
I was going to save this for Booze News, but maybe I'll bring it up
right now during shit chat. Nice.
I brought a clip.
Clip chat. it's called clip scandal
rocks the pod uh listen to this uh a certain musician caught in the act oh no what act Guess who this is?
A sound I've never heard before.
Well, we've heard it plenty.
Yes, it's Sloppy Boy's drummer, Jefferson Dutton, snoring away.
No!
Forcefully passing wind through his nasals.
I thought I was the lone non-snorer.
No, you are one of the bunch.
I've been shamed and raked over my coals for my loud
chronic snoring. Then
Jeff shamed Mike
by playing a clip on our
Patreon blowout of Mike snoring.
Then Tim, the audio
journalist, caught Jeff
in Costa Mesa.
And might I say, this was pre-show.
What? This was you
snoring in your little nap pre-show.
I think it was Long Beach, Tim.
Long Beach, yes.
Long Beach.
Now, I notice there's no video accompanying this clip.
No.
I thought that would be rude.
No, but there's anecdotal...
Me.
Witness.
Witness?
Anecdotal witness.
You co-sign?
Yes, I co-sign.
I saw the whole thing.
I was livid.
And Tim took it into a much nicer area.
I was about to drop the TV on your head.
You should have dropped the TV out the window like Keith Hood.
Yeah.
First floor, though.
That's no good.
Well, they could do it back in the old days because those weren't 4K HD TVs.
They were much cheaper.
Yeah, these days everything's flat screen.
Okay, Jeff, how do you feel having been shamed?
I have to do some reassessing
and sort of like inner looks at myself.
It's time for you to do more listening
than talking probably.
Yeah, now is the time to listen, I think.
Yeah, because we've listened enough to you
and you're snoring.
Now, how about this?
Now, wait, hold on.
You and your many snores.
When you caught the sound on recording,
was there any trickery afoot?
Was maybe Mike holding one of my nostrils closed?
No, we didn't.
I told you, I was holding the TV,
ready to drop it on your head.
Oh, right, right.
And Tim stopped me.
That's your alibi.
Now, I had a second clip I didn't bring
because it was way too quiet,
but you also snored again during the day,
I want to say in Portland
remember I was trying
to record him in Portland
in his cubby hole
but it was
I listened to it back
it wasn't
it wasn't really a snore
it was more of a loud breathe
and how deep
do you want to bury this guy
I mean you've got
you've got what you need
exactly
I don't want to fuck up his life
he's got a wonderful family
no no
this isn't like
but you know
it's just
it's just interesting
that those who live in glass houses
throw many a snore.
The guy we sequestered behind the quote-unquote snore door
for many stays.
Yeah, I was booking hotels,
and I chose suites that had snore doors that we could...
Here's the good thing, folks.
If you snore, sometimes you get the king bed to yourself.
Yeah, that's tough.
And you sure did, didn't you?
You know, here's the other...
Well, about throwing glass houses?
No, throwing stones at glass houses.
I was, when we were in,
well, on our way back,
this place we stayed on our way back
from Vancouver,
which I'm not going to say,
you've got to go to the Patriot City.
Where did we stay?
The sleeping situation was such that
Jeff was on one side of me
Tim was on the other side
I get snoring at the same time from both of you
Surround sound baby
I don't know which person
I didn't record it, it was one of those things
Only one TV, you don't know who to smash
I was half awake and I was like
You know when you wake up from a dream
You're like, ooh I gotta write that down
I'll remember it, it was this
I was like, I'll record them next time they do it I'm sleeping you in yeah and that
hotel you shook my bed mm-hmm because cuz that Oh kicked it that was a good foot yeah and that
tends to any sort of jostle even if it doesn't wake me up, makes me stop storing. This time it woke me up
and then I looked
to see what it was. You had already
gotten back under the covers in your bed. You're fast.
Well, I could reach it from the bed, from my bed.
So you just kicked your leg up?
Yeah, I have long legs. Well, when I looked back
I saw no movement from you. It wasn't even like you're
pulling your leg back.
It's like a long snake of a leg
reading. But Tim, you're on grog time.
You don't know how
that could have been.
I'm on grog time,
but I looked right at,
I looked at Mike.
This was like 6 a.m.
in the morning.
So I stayed awake
after that, in fact.
Oh, I'm sorry about that.
No, that's fine.
But,
but,
what was funny
is I look,
I see,
who jostled my bed?
Mike's sleeping.
And I said,
two thoughts.
First,
is this one of these sex beds?
Coin operated like on the Simpsons.
Sure.
You didn't go supernatural.
That's interesting.
I didn't realize those were sex beds.
They're sex beds.
Rumbling beds.
I thought it was like a massage type bed.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Well, what if you put your dick on the bed?
That's a whole nother beast.
Then my second thought was earthquake.
Sure.
And then my third thought was, oh, I must have been honking the nose.
No ghost.
You brought up, well, ghost, that's interesting because I'm going to talk about ghosts.
You brought up grog time.
Yeah.
You know, a lot of people, they have stories about like, I woke up from sleep and I saw
a woman in a laced bridal dress walking into my room and I knew it was a ghost.
I think a lot of ghost appearances can be explained in grog time.
Grog time.
Sleep paralysis.
I'm half awake.
I'm half asleep.
I'm still dreaming.
I don't know what's going on.
Yep.
There's now a ghost in my room.
Yeah.
But I got to cover myself and say, maybe it's not.
It is ghosts.
We don't want any problems.
And if you're a ghost, come on the pod.
That'd be fun. Defend yourself.
Hey, we're coming up on ghost season.
Or are we in ghost season?
October. I think we're in it.
Yeah. October 1st is not
really ghost season. You gotta get into it.
At least the 13th.
Or the 6th.
Well, is that it for Shit Chat?
Let's get into some
bi-bi-bi-bi-bi-booze news.
Hit it.
I am putting a new song out
sort of the pop punk genre.
It's very good.
Could be a song of the summer.
I get it done in time.
And it's a fun song.
It's like you're at a party
and somebody, it's like
we're having fun
and this is happening oh my
god uh old friends are here and then somebody does something weird and then right before the chorus
like it all drops down it's like a sample thing so that just happened yeah everybody taking a shot
Yeah.
Awesome.
Yeah.
So that just happened. That just happened.
It's a five guy one, bro.

So that just happened. So that's good. All right, Jeff, what do you got? It's Booze News, you pop-punk princesses.
Nice.
Wow.
So that just happened.
It was sent to us by Justin Moorer,
who's calling himself the Duke of Drops.
And if you have a Booze News theme,
email it to thesloppyboyspodcast at gmail.com.
That was good.
Justin, what was his name?
Yeah, Justin Moorer.
Justin Moorer really realized that song
we had just kind of been talking about
and figured out he even
Let's party with you!
He played the guitar parts of us going
He found it.
I like that idea.
Let's party with you.
It's like a group of people
they're encountering a new person.
Let's party with you!
It's good.
When you're good, you're good.
Yeah.
Okay, just one little bit of booze.
We missed this while we were out of town.
This was interesting to me.
You know who passed away at the age of 79 was Fred Franzia.
Oh, Franzia Liquor, right?
Franzia Box Wine?
Yes.
Box Wine, yeah.
Listen to this.
So this is Franzia the son.
He inherited the Franzia fortune.
But all of the-
Now was he the one who died, you mean?
Yes.
The son who died at 78.
Gotcha.
This is an old fortune.
But here's the New York Times headline.
Fred Franzia, 79, dies.
Upended wine industry with two-buck Chuck.
79 dies upended wine industry
with two buck chuck
and then I looked up
this guy's famous
oh
for inventing
the two dollar
bottle of wine
that it was
exclusively sold
Charles Shaw
Charles Shaw
is that the big jug
no that's
Carlo Rossi
oh yeah okay
uh two buck chuck
it's Charles Shaw
it would just look
like a normal bottle
of like Cabernet
uh they had a bunch of them, but
it was like Trader Joe's.
But it was elsewhere too, right?
Or was it a Trader Joe's? I think it was
briefly in
the late aughts.
Maybe it was exclusive to Trader Joe's
and then sold other places as well.
But here's what I'm just
bringing up because I thought it was interesting that
I said Franzia, you said box wine.
The answer to that is yes.
So these two generations of Francia's, his dad is the box wine guy.
And we all know that bottle of Francia box wine.
And like maybe you're like toted around a high school party.
And the dad passes on this big, you know, like the Napa Valley Illuminati of wine.
I hate the name Franzia because it's like devaluing wine.
And the old Franzia guy was like, I don't care.
I'll make box wine.
I'll get rich.
Wine should be for everyone.
And then when he died, he passed the company on to his son.
And then his son had another innovation.
Innovator.
Yeah.
Wow.
His son's going to come up with like hologram wine or something even crazier.
You know it'll probably be the wine app.
Why not?
Wait a minute, that's
good. Don't take that one!
Wine-ot.
Wine-in-ot.
Franzia the third?
Did you guys drink that
two buck jug? I'm sure I've had it before, but I can't remember.
Because I was picturing the big jug.
I've had that.
In my memory, the big jug is bad because it's pretty sweet.
That Carlo Rossi is like $7 for a gallon.
Yeah.
But I feel like Charles Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon was my way into wine.
Sure.
Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon was my way into wine.
Sure.
When you're like 22 and you got no money,
but you want to feel like I'm going to a dinner party,
you bring a $2 bottle of that shit and it wasn't bad.
It wasn't good.
That's the thing. It punched a little above its weight for something that was that cheap.
It just wasn't too powerful.
You know how all the seltzers are like,
you're like, why they put too much flavor
i feel like the the the beauty of the charles shaw wine is it wasn't super sweet like the other like
other cheap wines are like crazy sweet yeah two buck chuck is funny because i i didn't realize
it was something called called charles shaw that's really funny and i just thought it would refer to
like two buck chuck is any cheap wine uh nope but that's funny that. I just thought it would refer to 2 Buck Chuck as any cheap wine.
Nope. It was Charles Shaw.
That's great. It's also funny that this guy's name is
not Charles Shaw. I don't know who he named it
after. It sounds more like a law
firm or an investment
bank.
Growing up,
there was a wine called
Howie Manzetti's
and it was $2 Howard.
Oh, God.
I don't know.
Fake news, everybody.
That is a joke.
You just got pranked here on the pod.
$2 Howard?
I don't know.
$2 Howard maybe kind of sounded funny.
You could have said $1 Donald.
Yes, I could have.
I could have also just kept my mouth shut and moved on to my piece of booze news.
You have booze news?
I have health news in booze news.
That's right.
You guys already know what it is.
I'm keto now.
I've gone keto, okay?
I kind of messed it up this morning.
I had a Z-bar and...
You had that Z-bar from Vancouver?
That's right.
Well, I know you were experimenting with keto cubes in the car on the way down.
Yeah, pineapple chunks.
Pineapple chunks.
And keto sticks.
Keto sticks.
Carrot sticks.
Now, I'm...
I also had chili quiles today at a restaurant for breakfast.
Okay.
So that has carbs.
Have you had...
Everything you've mentioned so far has not been keto.
Have you had anything that's keto
yes yeah i saw him he had cottage cheese i had cottage cheese tomatoes right before this pod
cottage cheese sounds very everything i bought some stuff at the grocery store
for while i'm staying at jeff's house here for the couple days before i go back to new york
i got oh my god i got chicken i got got a Beyond Burger No bread, of course
More sticks, more carrot sticks
So the news is you've been keto for about
An hour and 45 minutes
Well, okay, the intention is that I'm keto
It's tough to keep keto
We're behind you
Your beloved keto cubes
Pineapples, that's like the sugariest fruit
I can't be keto
Is that keto?
We are initially,
me and my team,
are staying just away from carbs. That's the idea.
So that's not necessarily...
I don't think it can be done.
This is going to be very hard for me.
Well, is
pineapple keto?
No. The answer on Google,
no. Why? Because of fruit sugars? Pineapple
is not keto-friendly on its own.
However, there are ways to cut down on pineapple
carb count and still enjoy its fruity
flavor. Well, I think that, yeah,
that's a very
sweet, sweet fruit.
Hold on to your butt, though.
Always. Are carrots
keto? Carrots can
be eaten when keto.
Wow.
But it may be difficult to include them regularly or in large quantities as they contain a fair amount of carbs.
They contain it.
So.
All right.
Okay.
You're going to want to eat lettuce and chicken all the time.
Yeah.
I mean, if keto be high fat, have your buffalo wings, have your ribeyes.
Okay.
Blue cheese.
We are amending.
So this is not. I'm not doing keto.
I'm doing Hanford gets healthy.
That's what this is.
Hanford eats healthy.
You know what you could be doing?
He has some fruit, vegetables.
He doesn't eat carbs anymore.
He doesn't eat candy.
He loves candy.
He won't eat it.
Maybe he eats popcorn when he goes to the movies.
You do love candy.
I remember.
I think I have the thing for you after this.
Oh, no.
I just.
After the break.
Remarking when we were in the gas station,
one of the million gas stations we came across,
you came up with the slop card and said,
I got us some snacks to try, all of us to try.
And you picked the weirdest fucking snacks.
I was like, I don't get any of these on the company card.
It was Starburst Air Puffs.
Starburst Softs.
Starburst Softs.
Hey, everybody, I got the most ubiquitous snack we all know
and love anyone would have got. They were weird
tasting. I ate the whole bag.
Then I got plain chips that said
Tim's on them. The Tim's were the best.
Those were allowed on the card.
This is too much for the tour talk.
That is all saved for the Patreon.
Sorry folks.
I just want to say, yes, I want to hear about this.
Maybe your thing is Whole30.
Because you do, it is a very hand, because pineapple is like a fruit.
It's not processed, you know?
A carrot is a vegetable.
It's not processed.
Love it.
And you, when you made me and Jeff dinner, you put a whole artichoke on the plate.
I could see you avoiding the processed foods and just eating meat and vegetables
and fruit, things that come from Earth.
Are we talking paleo? No, because
I would let him eat a potato.
You know, he could eat a carb.
I'm going to try to stay, I'm going to low carb
and
but I like this. It's more just like being
I think it's all just more about being conscious of
what you eat and not just going
hey, I'm hungry, there's pizza. I told's pizza let me eat as many pieces as i can um i was talking to you know hank
the abso editor uh-huh um i was telling him uh he was he's vegan and i was that's got it that
seems very difficult i said to him it's not like a hollywood event. I was like, yeah, I eat a lot of meat.
But I'll tell you this.
I've been trying to be a little more mindful.
Like when I eat a steak, I don't just like gobble it down without thinking.
I'll think like, oh, I'm like eating an animal, you know,
and I should think about that while I'm eating this.
And for me, I have been doing that, and it's nice.
But I told Hank, I was like, you know, I've been like doing this. And's nice but I told Hank I've been doing this
and he was like
yeah I'm sure that
cow really gives a fuck
which is true
they don't like to be
well slaughtered and eaten
this was a Hollywood event
you said
yeah
so Hollywood
where a clap is his king
yes
someday that whole town
will be mine
did he know
he was talking to the king
yeah
he wouldn't have
Snarked me like that
What anniversary is it from
Or for
Eric Clapton and B.B. King's Riding with the King album
We should cover that
It's gotta be 25 years
We should cover that
Cover the whole album?
Why not?
That's so funny
Eric Clapton sitting in a convertible with B.B. King
Yeah I'm covering B.B in a convertible with BB King.
Like, yeah, I'm covering BB King.
Riding with the king.
Well, is that it for booze news?
Wrap it up.
Why don't we get into the D of the D?
I love it.
VG.
VG. VG.
Oh, my God.
Don't say VG.
Why not?
It's a bad podcast.
Oh.
Folks, today we're talking about the paradise you've heard.
Never heard, nor have had.
Not heard, not had.
Well, not a huge history behind this one, so I'm going to bash through it real quick.
Streamline it.
Laser show.
Let's go.
Harry Craddock.
Love him.
You know, you love him.
Corpse survivor.
White lady. Several of us. The Savoy you love him. Corpse survivor. White lady.
Several of us.
The Savoy Hotel in London.
That's right, Timmy.
He was a English fella.
Sure.
Came to America.
Did a bunch of bartending.
Left when things got very Prohibition-y.
Refresh me.
Okay, so refresh me and the listener.
Yeah.
So he's around Prohibition at the 20s.
Yes.
Yeah, and this is the Harry that's not not harry's bar harry's new york
bar in paris that's harry mccallum this is harry credick they're contemporaries michael they are
contemporary that's right so he goes to the savoy hotel in london in 1920 he's doing that for a
decade or more because this book the savoy cocktail book published in 1930 contains the first record
of the paradise there you. There you go.
So that's kind of it.
But I did notice one other fun little thing.
On May 27th, 2018 Snoop Dogg,
friend of the pod.
Hey,
Snoop.
Set the world record for the largest gin and juice and 132 gallon paradise cocktail that contained 180 bottles of gin,
154 bottles of apricot brandy, and 38 gallons of orange juice.
That's not a gin and juice that has apricot brandy in it.
That's kind of weird.
Well, it's gin and juice.
Yeah, but rolling down the street smoking endo, sipping on apricot brandy?
No.
See, that's what I thought.
Where did he put this all in?
I did a little digging.
Well, that was for like some big Napa Valley thing or something like that.
I don't know.
Napa Valley.
That's him.
That's famous Snoop looking back.
But you mean to tell me that young Snoop is hunting down apricot brandy and putting it back when that song came out?
No.
So I did a little digging, right?
According to Pandora, Snoop talked about the origin of this song saying, quote, gin and juice was the choice of drink for a young player.
1991, 1992, you didn't have a lot of money, so you go get that gin. this song saying quote gin and juice was the choice of drink for a young player 1991 1992
you didn't have a lot of money so you go get that gin when it came time to make the record
doggy style that was my thing every day i would come into the studio with my bottle of gin and
juice in it and dre would have a big ass milk jug full of gin and juice we were in the studio one
day and someone was singing that song someone was singing that slave song watching you we flipped it
into rolling down the street, smoking in dough,
sipping on gin and juice, and made it happen from there.
Now, have you guys heard that song, Watching You?
No.
I'm going to play it for you.
Ooh.
Because I like hearing where these things come from,
and this isn't an obvious one.
Especially such a big song.
Walking down the street, watching ladies go by. Oh, wow. Watching ladies go by watching you
so they they like they changed it quite a bit yeah interpolated interpolated replayed it
re-performed it changed the lyrics yeah. And songfacts.com elaborates,
because I was trying to figure out
what is in this,
what's in the gin and juice from the song.
Mm-hmm.
Snoop's gin and juice recipe was
tangaree gin mixed with a fruit drink
called Super Saco.
He later switched to
Donald Duck brand orange juice.
He and his friends would mix them
in the Donald Duck bottles
so it would look like
they were just drinking orange juice, folks.
Snoop's doing the Popo No-No.
Nice.
Oh, I love that.
Nobody knows what's going on, but you all of a sudden are a lot louder and happier than everyone else.
A little loud mouth soup.
Yeah.
Did you guys see on Instagram someone made the Popo No-No, like a Topo Chico?
Oh, yeah.
A logo that said Popo no no that was pretty good um
hold on i'm looking something walkie talkie popo no no no remember we saw on the road we saw
billboards for i'm gonna brandy the the singer whoops oh yeah was in door it was the spokesperson
for a type of Brandy.
I forget what it was.
Stella Rosa?
Stella Rosa.
That's wild.
Brandy selling Brandy?
Why'd it take so long?
That's what I'm thinking.
Why?
That's funny, too, because music, a lot of people, music people endorse cognac, and Brandy
is cognac, but I think it's, you know, like cognac is like the fancier, like all cognac is brandy, but not all brandy is cognac.
Love it.
So it means like to get the pun of her name and have it be clever, they made it be not
cognac.
You know, it's like a step down, but it fits the name better.
Well, do you want to know the recipe?
I'd love it.
Yes.
Folks, you're going to need 30 milliliters of gin.
Got it.
20 milliliters apricot brandy i should have it 15 milliliters fresh orange juice nice pour all ingredients into a cocktail
shaker shake well with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass i'm seeing these in
coops we have chilled the glasses yeah they're chilled coops um let me ask you this what type
of gin you got here i got tangare and i also as of an hour ago i got some hennessy sorry some
hendrix oh maybe we do the tangare in in honor of snoop's biggest uh gin and juice i think round
one i'll do a little tangare but i also i've always wanted to go back and forth and see the
difference well you'll tell
the difference they're very different uh i feel my guess is hendrix would be more similar to what
harry craddock was using however let me tell you this the next two ingredients we've got poor
quality because i'm talking about i went i went i bought our uh apricot brandy
well i figured there would be like apricot schnapps that's cheaper
you know fake or whatever and then the apricot brandy would be a beautiful bottle of brandy
that was brewed up with apricots no down on the bottom shelf there's a cap and cork
hyrum walker it looks like all the other silly yeah a name you can trust a name that don't cost
you much nice a cheapy all with all the other peppermint schnapps and all the bullshit, apricot.
And, you know, like a picture of an apricot.
And I was like, this is apricot liqueur.
And it said apricot brandy.
So it was brandy.
Hiram Walker.
So it was very cheap.
So it won't be the good stuff.
And then.
Did they have a more expensive brand?
No, I asked.
Yeah, it seems like something like that.
You go to a liquor store. It's like, we got the one asked. Yeah, it seems like something like that. You go to a liquor store,
it's like, we got the one thing.
If you like it.
They had a fancy apricot liqueur,
but it wasn't a brandy.
I bought the brandy one.
Just feels,
it's funny for Hiram Walker
to make like a $12 brandy.
And brandy is a cognac.
And a cognac is close to whiskey?
Closest?
Brandy is made from grapes,
but it's put in barrels,
so it tastes whiskey-ish. Gotcha. And then fancy brandy is made from grapes but it's put in barrels so it tastes whiskey ash and then
fancy brandy from uh france's cognac and what about the oj i want to hear about that oh i did
bad oh i have some oj but it's just i bought it before we toured so it's like three weeks old
that might be better because i they didn't have any of the good stuff, so I have a plastic bottle of From Concentrate
Tropicana, not the good Tropicana, which is probably close to what Snoop was drinking.
Yeah, the Donald Duck probably was that stuff.
Donald Duck was that stuff, but Harry Craddock.
And by the way, why is Donald Duck on orange juice at all?
Yeah, there's not really a time.
Because he's kind of got a sour, acidic vibe.
Yeah. Quack. Quack yeah quack quack quack
but you know i'm sure i bet harry craddock was mixing him they probably didn't even sell
at the time and he was squeezing oh shit was oh yeah right why are we i started this but why are
we going to the snoop restaurant we should be doing that we should do harry craddock craddock
craddock they probably in the 20, they didn't have concentrate yet.
That's like a very, like, post-World War II type of thing to do.
Was Donald Duck around in the 20s?
Uh, shit, man.
I'm going to look that up. Mickey was doing his thing, probably.
Mickey was doing his thing, for sure.
Let me see when...
Donald Duck is probably the age of Toad.
Yeah, we should also look up his canonical age.
Yeah.
How old is Donald Duck? Well, it says he's 86 but i want his canonical
age when was donald duck invented what do you say what's the say in his license 1937 he had not yet
been he was just a twinkle in walt's eye Damn. He looked very straight. I like the new Donald Duck.
I'll say it.
Well, what do you think?
Are we prepared to shake it up?
Shake, shake, shake.
And drink it down?
Shake, shake, shake.
Shake up a paradise drink.
Want to do it?
Mickey Mouse was created in 1928 steamboat Mickey.
All right, folks.
We'll meet you right back here after these messages.
After these messages,
we'll be right back.
And we're back.
Paradises in hand.
Yes. Paradiso. These look like yellowbirds to me. Paradises in hand. Yes.
Paradiso.
These look like yellowbirds to me.
Don't smell like it.
I like the look of them. It's a pleasant hue.
It's interesting.
A drink called Paradise, when I saw it on the IBA, I was like, oh, that's going to be
like a tiki drink.
Right.
No, this is a refined British stiffy.
Right.
I would at least have expected some type of accoutrement.
Yeah.
No garnish.
Not even cubes.
Nothing.
All right.
Sips?
Let's fucking have it.
Ooh, deliciously cold.
Ooh, strong.
Interesting with the apricot.
That's a stiffy, man.
This is the type of thing that could be on a martini menu, the type that we
make fun of. Yeah, that tastes like a martini, doesn't it?
Because it's gin forward.
The apricot is coming through,
and it's light on the OJ. I like that,
that it's not juicy at all. It just makes it a little
bit translucent. Oh, an apricot
martini would be good. Very light
on the OJ. You're drinking one, my man.
But without the orange juice.
You can taste the orange in there?
I get a little bit.
My tongue is so refined, I could taste a pickle in a haystack.
God, I couldn't think of fucking one thing this year.
A pickle in a haystack?
Yeah, Jesus.
I could taste a chili flake in a stew.
Yeah, okay. That's not bad. I know, it's not bad. Ooh, that made me flake in a stew. Yeah, okay.
That's not bad.
Ooh, that made me think.
Maybe you said stew.
Stew's great, man.
Remember I had that really spicy vermicelli noodle soup in Vancouver?
Maybe when I get home, I'll order some spicy food.
Oh, hey.
Tim, that was great to go up to foggy, rainy Vancouver.
We're all feeling clammy and unwashed.
Last night of the tour, gross. Gross.ouver we're all feeling you know clammy and last night of the tour gross
gross and we were like you know what let the pizza place is closed that was our first choice
we went to the pho place and i remember when you when you finished that hot soup you said i feel
like i went to a spa i love it it was so spicy it was also just boiling hot and i just drizzled my
nose right into it but also like it just raises
your core temperature you know yeah i felt great it's a total reset great this is an interesting
drink i like this i like that it's stiff i don't like when you shake and you pour into a cocktail
shaker you taste it and it's too sweet or it's too juicy. Now, you know, we've gotten some slow gin.
We've gotten now the apricot.
I'm thinking of all the sort of Hiram Walker type things we've got,
the peach schnapps.
I wonder if you could just kind of substitute out the,
what it would be like to substitute out the apricot
and throw another, throw peach in there.
Yeah, I bet you could.
And then throw in the peppermint.
That would be weird.
I would also like to do with some actual like orange peppermint this hyrum walker apricot
brandy is not brandyish at all i stole a little sip it's clear it does not taste like it's from
a lab they're lying yeah so if you if you had like a dark beautiful brandy in this that would
be a different drink yeah do you want to do a tangaree yeah tangaree side by side
yeah tangaree taste test okay with hendrix starring hendrix
it was the hendrix the hendrix i saw some other recipes for this drink that use like
have like lemon juice instead of oj and a few other things. Oh, yeah, I did see a bunch with lemon juice, but not Harry Craddock's.
No, we got to go with the man, the myth,
the legend.
You know what?
These little coupe glasses you got, Jeff,
are really nice.
They're very, folks, if you can hear this,
they're very thin glass, very thin glass,
very dainty.
That's Target.
Nice.
Target, baby.
A glass that's dainty like this makes,
I think, the drink just taste a little more like,
ooh, what a classic drink.
This one chills up nice.
Yeah.
This was a classic, not contemporary classic.
What would this be on the list?
IBA.
Unforgettables.
Unforgettables.
That's the oldest they go back.
I got to say, you just poured us some little shots of gin to do a taste test of Hendrix and Tangray.
I love gin.
You know this.
But room temp straight gin is going to be nasty as fuck.
Everybody take a shot of gin.
Which one are we starting with here, Jeff?
Which one is which?
That is Hendrix.
Wait, this is Hendrix?
Yes.
My guess, Hendrix is going to taste like your standard British dry gin and Tangray is going to have
a little twang to it
more juniper
delicious Hendrix
not even bad
not bad at all
even room temp
I'm just not in the mood
for gin shots
but yeah
it's pretty weird
these aren't full shots
these are little
tense shots
I just took a little sip
light outside
haven't eaten dinner
taking a warm shot of gin.
Life is good.
Tang Ray.
Tang Ray.
See, it's got that twang.
Yeah.
I'll tell you what.
Are we just...
My reaction is...
We're just enjoying ourselves, Tim.
I'd say Hendrix better for a martini, Tangray better for a Tom Collins.
Ah, yes.
Tangray to me tastes like you're already halfway to a...
Gin and tonic.
Olive juice.
Gin and tonic.
Yeah.
Oh, I said it's a gin and tonic.
Better for a gin and tonic.
Yeah.
It tastes like it has the tonic butter
bubbled right in there.
Mike, you just hit yourself in the face with your microphone.
Doof.
Tangray, the stank, though, feels very martini-ish to me.
I feel like I've probably had more Tangeray martinis than Hendrix.
Yeah, I feel like Hendrix is like a fancy kind of top shelf gin,
but I didn't come to know it until the last few years,
and now I know that it's like this high-moderate thing.
Tangeray, the name of the bottle, I've known that
since I was a kid.
That's like a rap.
Well, I know it
through probably Snoop Dogg's
or Dre songs or whatever.
and a thang of Tangare.
I'll tell you what's really cool
is on Depop.
Although in the song
it's not Tangare,
it's Seagram's Gin.
Everybody got their cups
but they ain't chipped in.
Oh, no, no.
What about
later on that day
somebody showed up with a gang of Tangeray?
Something Tangeray.
Yeah, but now that I got me some Seagram's Gin.
Well, that's a different...
Different verse, same song?
Anyway, Tim, go ahead.
No, no, no.
I was going to say that
when I go on Depop late at night
trolling for Tabasco shirts,
I've seen some very cool Tangeray,
like a green, vintage green T-shirt
with a Tangerare logo on it.
Ooh.
I gotta get back
in a Depop.
I feel like
with the different weather
coming up,
time to get some shirts,
throw them over
to the Salvation Army
and say,
hey,
Depop,
I'm back.
I'll tell you what's good for you.
It's cooling down.
Let's say you want to get some,
like,
what did I get?
Like Molson's ski jacket
type of thing?
This would be a good blowout.
Depop. Whoa, that is a good blowout. Depop.
Whoa, that is a good blowout.
Yeah.
We each give ourselves...
I don't know.
$100 out of $100.
$100 grand.
Yeah.
Buy what you can.
When was Hendrix...
Hendrix has been popular in the last few years, but when was Hendrix invented?
I'm looking for a date.
I bet it says 1886.
Wow.
Oh, that's Hendrix.
Well, how did it get all of a sudden popular?
It's everywhere.
I bet that it got a different distribution.
You know, like if Diageo bought it from InBev or something like that.
Mike, you just hit a leaf with your head.
Yeah, I got a leaf right behind my head.
Why don't you keep your head away from all the objects?
I got my head in the basketball around the microphone.
I'm hitting that. Really waving that thing around. You know, I'm so tired. I got my head in the basketball around the microphone and hitting that.
Really waving that thing around.
You know, I'm so tired.
I'm very tired today.
I played soccer.
Mike, that's not good podcasting.
You've got to have the energy.
Hey, I'm at...
No, but I played soccer this morning
with Neil from the podcast.
He plays with a group every Sunday
and I played with him.
How'd you do?
You know, I'm not the best soccer player,
but it's a lot of fun, man.
Soccer's not the easiest sport,
but it's pretty easy to just kind of like get into it and pass the ball around and have some fun oh football i agree
football oh don't be that guy nobody likes that guy well hey what would you tweak well take it
take a nice drag of that paradise and say i think i tweaked the the you know tim
was talking about the quality of the ingredients in my heart of hearts we ended up not using my
jeff we used jeff's chocolate can of 50 which i think is watered down oj yeah um you know it's
hard to say what you'd tweak because i don't know the drink you know i'm like my guess is if i had a
beautiful dark brown brandy in there that was like the but like apricot what if you had fresh
app i don't know brandy gin and some fresh apricot juice instead of OJ. You guys ever say apricot?
I pronounce apricot.
Wouldn't be caught dead.
British people say apricot.
Right, right.
They also say aluminium.
They also say aircon.
What's that?
Air conditioner.
Ah.
They say car park.
Hmm.
And they also say,
good one, US.
You beat us all those years ago. Yes.
Those 13 colonies have become
50 beautiful states.
They've grown up.
We love to see it.
No hard feelings. Hey, can I tell you what I would change?
Oh, that's why you brought
it up, because you just wanted to talk about yourself. Yes, yes.
Cubes. This thing needs cubes.
Also, if this was just
a little taller, dare I say longer, a long drink,
then you'd catch me out on the street, out around town drinking a Paradise.
That would affect the way I feel about this drink.
Like I said before, the dainty glass, I think is like, ooh, what a cocktail.
Look at me.
Tim, you're right.
It's a nice British stiffy.
But you're going the other way.
You guys are saying, hey, throw some cubes, make it juicier,
and I'll sip it in the sun.
I'm saying,
brandy?
You want to bring
the lights down.
You want to turn
the fireplace down.
He's just distilling it
even further down.
Brandy, gin,
and a splash
of fresh apricot juice
if such a thing exists.
I don't really get
too amped up on apricots.
Those dried apricots,
fuck them.
Oh, I love them.
No.
Oh, fuck you.
I would rather have a Haribo peach ring. Here's the thing with apricots. Those dried apricots. Oh, I love them. No. Oh, fuck you. I would rather have a Haribo peach ring.
Here's the thing with
apricots. If I could be
an Anglophile for one minute.
Sure. Is that the way Franklophile is?
Yeah, yeah. You love the English.
Anyway.
Apricots. I like to get a little bag of apricots
or the tub or whatever. However you get them.
I like when they get dried and then you get some
of them that are big like puffy ones that are like...
Whoa.
Yeah, like the dried out ones.
Nice and tough.
Like a big fat prune, like a big fat yellow prune.
The closer they are to those Trader Joe's mango strips, the better.
Oh, fruit leathers.
Is that different?
Maybe.
Hmm.
The tough mango things.
I don't love a fruit.
Hurt your jaw.
Rip your teeth out.
I don't love a fruit.
The tough mango things I don't love a fruit
I don't love a fruit
Well it's something I'm okay with
As being a full 30
A keto guy telling keto lies
Sort of a
Tweaked keto
Well why don't we take a little break
And when we come back
We will deliver our harsh criticism
And final adjudication
Yes I love it folks i do like
see you back here after the ads
and we're back with our final thoughts on Paradise. My final thought is
I'm getting a little
warm around the ears.
That's always nice.
And I...
My biggest qualm
after you just said the name,
the name, Paradise.
Yeah.
This does not fit this drink,
I don't think.
Mm-mm.
But I like it
and I will order again.
Wow.
What a rollercoaster.
Yeah.
It doesn't live up to the name. Like, Paradise is a great name for a drink that should be used elsewhere. Yeah. Wow. What a rollercoaster. It doesn't live up to the name. Like, Paradise
is a great name for a drink that should be used
elsewhere. Yep. Here's what they should
call it. Piccadilly Sackus.
Yeah, yeah.
Or something... Piccadilly Fizz.
Yeah. Even though there's no fizzy
thing. That's a good name for something, though.
Yeah, Piccadilly Fizz. Maybe that's the next drink you
invent. Yeah, Piccadilly. Some gin, I'm thinking.
Something London, yeah.
Or Her Majesty.
His Majesty.
How about blend up gin and some circus peanuts?
I used to love circus peanuts.
I hate those things.
Oh, come on.
No.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

additional sips of gin.
Yeah, that's true.
I'd order again when I'm in the mood
for a stiffy. You know, when I say,
what's a fun drink, but it's not going to juice me
down and juice me up. I'm in the mood for a stiffy,
Tim. I've got quite a website to you.
Don't juice me down.
You don't want to get juiced up.
I am ambivalent
towards this drink.
Wow.
Okay.
That's okay.
That's fair.
I'll order it again, but it's a solid C.
We need a name for that because we have order again, don't order again, or what's just like

Tinnie with the greenie deenie. That's right. Doesy Deeny. Timmy with the Greeny Deeny.
That's right.
Does Mike get anything for Greeny Deeny?
You actually get a side point.
Nice.
Do the side points come into play here?
Damn.
No, it's just a nice little subplot.
Something I can talk about later.
Number six.
Castlevania? The six. Castlevania?
The theme from Castlevania?
I'm looking for the word paradise in the song title, Michael.
Yeah, yeah.
Here we go again.
This is a big band that we don't give a shit about.
Current?
Yeah.
Okay.

Accidentally in love.
What do you mean, don't give a shit about it?
I'm seeing them twice this year.
I love this band.
Chris Marsden.
Can you believe
when he and Gwyneth Paltrow
consciously uncoupled?
They're not together anymore.
Michael, this was 10 years ago.
Who's he with now?
Some hot tart.
Some fit bird, probably.
I was going to say Shailene Wood woodley but i know that's not true
no she was with uh brett farve maybe they're back together who knows is that part of the quiz
brett favery no number seven oh paradise with me paradise on the disco dance floor. Paradise on the disco dance floor. Michael, no.
Can I ask a question about the artist?
Is it Tom Petty?
It is not.
Here's the thing a little bit longer.
Nice.
I know this song.
I know this song.
Cheeseburger in Paradise.
Cheeseburger in Paradise by the one, the only, you know him, you love him. Cheeseburger in paradise by the one the only you know you love them cheeseburger in paradise no
point on that one unfortunately what i know i know you got a point on similar circumstances
a couple rounds ago can i accuse you of something sure trying to keep the score close
yeah what's something's up with you in this quiz anything cheeseburger hamburger
Oh Trump with his hamburgers and everything oh my god oh my god F e much
yeah this seriously yeah I was gonna say Kofi much number eight oh fuck we do
tickets to paradise Michael two tickets to paradise any money I thought that was I was going to say Koveffy much. Number eight. Oh, fuck. Two Tickets to Paradise.
Michael, Two Tickets to Paradise, Eddie Money.
I thought that was Tommy Two-Tone.
Well, that's a good answer, Mike.
Thank you.
But is it good enough to go the distance?
We're down to the final two questions.
Questions nine and ten.
Those are ten questions.
I didn't know that.
Here we go.
Number nine.
How much better is it?
Michael.
Fuck.
You gave me that one early, Tim.
Yeah.
You gotta keep your mouth shut.
Does that point go to Mike or me?
It goes to Mike.
Oh, no.
That one is very, very close because Tim has five points and Mike has four points and a side point.
Oh, shoot.
No real indication of how many points a side point is worth.
Or if one can use them.
I thought they were non-playable points. Yeah use them. I thought they were non-playable points.
Yeah.
What do you do?
What can you do?
I'm pretty sure
actually they're non-playable points.
I'm going to check the sheet.
And
it seems that
they are playable and a side point
is worth one point.
One side point equals only one point?
It should be like 50.
Sometimes they're worth a lot more.
Well, let me just check again because anything does go in there.
Wait, hold on.
You checked the sheet.
You read the sheet.
Are you going to read it again to see?
Let's call Tim.
But Tim, anything goes. Yeah, we know.
I'm not worried about Jeff, man.
Yeah, I know.
Ah, yeah.
Like, do you want the point or not?
I'd love the point.
Let's lock it in.
What I'm doing is working pretty good.
I'm crossing out the side point, which was like Timmy, Greeny, Reany.
How did you get that point again?
It was...
I forget.
It's the thing with a side point.
You kind of forget where they come from.
You'll have to use that 10 seconds back button, folks,
to figure out how Mike got the side point in the first place.
But here we are coming in on number 10.
Ready?
Mm-hmm. Ready?
That's what I'm on.
Fuck.
Fist Fight Paradise by Timmy St. Rob.
Wow.
Play the clip.
That's right, folks.
It's Fist Fight Paradise,
an unreleased track
by Tim Solo.
That was released on MySpace, wasn't it?
Wow.
Pretty good.
That was like a five track album
or six? Yeah.
I want to say this is around Christmas
2006. Oh, that was fun.
It was a very good album. Did I ever repurpose
this for Sloppy Boys?
It's One Last Bender-ish, but I don't think it's the same.
That's exciting.
That's really good.
You know what, Tim?
Listeners might be interested to hear that at the end of the episode.
That could be good.
Folks, it's possible that if you go to MySpace.com and you look up Timmy St. Rock, my Bruce Springsteen-esque alter ego, the whole EP might be up there still.
Oh, shit.
Wow.
Just adrift like a ghost ship.
That's wild.
That was fun, the Timmy St. Rock guy.
What was that?
Yeah, yeah.
What was that?
Van Aerts saying?
His dating from a...
Van Aerts fill out an OKCupid page and just let it go.
It's still out there floating like a ghost ship.
Well, because he was gonna
deactivate it and he's like oh I'll just let it see
if it gets any hits and then check back in a year
and like nothing
but calling a dating profile
a ghost shit is very funny to me
like you come across the screen
it is funny to think of like how many profiles
I've set up for like
purchasing stuff
like I'd buy something one time and it's like,
now I have a vivid seats account.
That's so funny.
Then you go on vivid seats,
like years later,
you're like,
you're signing up for one.
And it's like,
this email already has a profile.
You're like,
I forgot the password.
Well,
Timothy,
great job.
You've won the paradise.
I'm happy. I'm proud. I thought it was cool that my old uh music project got a shout out i think we should end the the episode with that
song i also want to say and talking about this paradise i want to ask you guys if i can have the
floor since i won this drink is like conjuring you know, there's oranges and apricots. Maybe it's sort of a specific vision of Harry Craddock's paradise.
But you guys, what's paradise to you?
Your own, when you close your eyes, what would be yours?
You know what?
I feel like I'm.
Two women.
Not the way we talk in this podcast.
Thank you.
When I close my eyes, paradise, I've been so conditioned to think of it as like palm trees
and a sand and all that type of stuff sure but that's not why that's not what i think
you know paradise is for me my two boys sitting on the couch on the pod i love drinking a little
gin drinking gavin yeah yeah yeah that's it here's what i'll say about paradise that word
only conjures up something that i've been
conditioned to think of it doesn't i don't have a paradise within me and that is a problem that is
only i need to find quick um this keto thing yeah the keto could be good the keto thing has already
been i'm not even doing it right i can't eat pineapple. Fuck me, man.
Your personal
paradise would be

So you stole the money?
No, here's Jeff's paradise.
He's in last place on Rainbow Road, and then he gets a star.
Yeah, it is a little bit.
No, no, what's the one that makes everybody spin out?
The lightning bolt.
Lightning bolt.
Yeah.
When?
It was in one of the quizzes.
Mike got a lightning bolt and shrunk it down, remember?
Yeah.
