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. Ho, ho, ho, and all that. And Timothy Kalpakis. What is up, Dutton stylies? Hmm? Oh, boy. You invented the drink, dude.

Oh, okay. Hey, speaking of Dutton, have you seen those ads, those Coors ads in stores? Oh, yeah. That say, like, live like a Dutton. Oh, it's from Yellowstone, right? Yeah, because I didn't know the family on Yellowstone is called the Duttons. No, and that's one of those shows that's, like, huge, right? It's because I didn't know the family on Yellowstone is called the Duttons. No, and that's one of those shows that's like huge, right?

It's probably season seven. It's a really big dad show, and now it's become an empire. There's like spinoff shows and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's P+, right? P+, in the P-plus family. I remember as if it happened so long ago, but

at Thanksgiving, the tv was on and there was a a commercial for one of the spinoffs and i was like what is that is that yellowstone is that that show because it said yellowstone on the bottom my dad was like no no no that's a spinoff from that show but he doesn't watch he doesn't watch yellowstone he just knows it's been off hey back to the duttons. Yeah, yeah. Back to the Have you guys seen the Crazies? The 2010 zombie-ish movie?

Oh, no. Is that the one where one of them is dragging a pitchfork at some point? On the cover, apparently. That's what I know it from. Timothy Oliphant's character, the main dude, his name is David Dutton. That's my dad. Hey, that's cool. It's kind of weird to get exactly the first and last name of a real dude.

Yeah. Especially a dad of mine. There's a character in that show named Tim Kelpakis, I think. Oh, yeah? It's his son's friend. Yeah. You know that handsome guy that comes to town and fixes everything for everybody? Fixes up a couple of Calvi cordials and leaves?

I thought, oh, I'm been mistaking him for the village dunce. Hey! The village dunced. The village Kirsten dunced. Are we not going to call out the elephant in the room? Hanford's got a handsome haircut. Streamlined.

It was, thank you very much, it was tough going when I got this haircut. I sat down and I said, just give me just take like an inch off all around. And she kept asking me, do you want it over the years? I said that to my moil.

You keep in touch with your moil still, don't you? Yeah. Can I get another trim? Go to lunch with this guy. This thing keeps growing in. Summer's coming up. I want a nice clean? Go to lunch with this guy. This thing keeps growing in. The summer's coming up. I want a nice clean cut. Give us a summer cut. Yo!

He says, Timmy, I'm going to need a microscope to find the fucking thing. Hey, come on. I just want to say, all the dudes right now are listening, going, oh, that sucks, man. Oh, shit. Didn't even mention that shit. Anyway, I sat down in the chair. Yes, I said it. And she kept saying, you want to go over the ears.

You know, keep it like up higher than the ears. And I said, kind of game time. We're right in the middle. I said, you know what? Let's go over the ears. Let's make it short. And she did that. And you might not be able to tell, but she gave me a bowl cut here on the side. It's way above the ears.

It's way above the ears, which I like. It's just a little bowl-y. There's kind of like a shelf right on the whole thing. But it worked out. What's wrong with being bowl-y? It worked for the Big Lebowski. It's true. I can't argue with you on that one.

I want to really cange your ass to you, but I can't. He's right. It worked for the big Lebowski. Another thing this hairdresser did, very nice lady, and no chit-chat. We didn't do any chit-chat. It was just me and her. Really? In this, yeah, in this.

Silent. Empty hair salon, barbershop. I don't know. I guess it wasn't a barbershop. But we're just sitting there quietly, and she's cutting the hair and would ask me questions every so often. All you can hear is snips. Yep. But then she did this thing I've never had before.

She was just about to wrap up. She looks at my face and takes a comb, puts it in my eyebrows, and cuts my eyebrows. Wow. Yeah. You guys don't get that? No. I've never had that before, and it was done so quickly that you couldn't even be like, oh, wait, what are you doing?

No, I got to do that. I get like Dr. Wiley eyebrows. Sure, sure, but I just never, especially without asking, because I never had my face. Without consent. I never had my face clipped just by hair. Yeah. Unless you did a good job. It looks great. It was just

quick, sharp. And Mike, it grows back. Don't worry about it. I'm talking about the bowl aspect. Yeah, yeah. No, the bowl it's fine. You know, people are going to see me out in public. People in public have said, hey, you got a great haircut. Hey, can I talk to you for a second? Step over here. Hey, great haircut.

Hey, Salou. Hey, Salou. Hey, Salou. Hey, what's up? What's up with you? Great haircut, huh? Yeah. And hey, say hi to your mother. Say hi to your mother and give gratitude for some of those snips, huh? Yeah.

Hey, do you guys remember on Sesame Street? There was that guy in the park who would approach Ernie and be like, Hey, kid, would you like to buy a letter S? Really? Yeah, isn't that nuts? Yeah, that is weird. I remember that though. But we didn't... We didn't have Sesame Street at my house.

We had Carraway Avenue. Ugh. It sucked. Alright. Is that enough shit chat? Yep. Let's get into I think so. Bibbibbib

Booze News. Hit it. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. I couldn't let Tim take the crown. I couldn't let Tim take the crown. It's Booze News, you dumb dildos. Wow. Damn.

Booze News lineup was sent to us by The Grunchman, John French. And if you have a Booze News theme, email to thesl theme email to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com everything about that was funny down to his name the Grunchman Grunchman did it man that was cool that was good Mitch is gonna love that he loves Pink Floyd yeah Taylor made for him that's probably why Gruncher did it

you couldn't let him come for the crown he's like passing out as he says that he's coming for the crown that was a good use of what Jeff Tim, you couldn't let him come for the crown. He's like passing out as he says that. He's coming for the crown. That was a good use of what Jeff, you know, you've described as like what people hate on this podcast. Yes, mouth noises, gas noises. Yeah. Good to put that to good use.

Hey, you know, we've got Claire O'Kane on this month's Questions for Lennon on the Patreon. I love Claire. She's super funny. It's a great interview. She writes for SNL? Yep. Not interview.

It's a great Q&A. Whatever. You know what we do on Questions for Lennon. We get advice questions and we answer them. And she mentioned, this is before we recorded, she was like, oh, I listen to the, she listens to every episode. She's a fan. So I listened to the lineup and you guys like sipping and slurping was disgusting oh yeah in the lineup episode

first we we did them individually and that was okay but when we all four of us with mitch did it at the same time it was just a silent minute of like some people like it, though. Yeah, I like it. But you take that, and then you get a two-hour and 45-minute episode, so you've got to sit through some of that stuff. Yeah, you're going to have to sit through some stuff, folks. Sorry.

I think Peter Jackson actually produced that episode, weirdly. Peter Jackson? Yeah. Well, top story, folks. Yes. The boys hit the road. Oh, wow. That's right.

subterranean a couple times never played beat kitchen this is going to be a saturday night folks beat kitchen is a good venue that's perfect us. I've heard a lot about that place. A lot of these are like the goddamn place. And the fact that neither of you have been to New Orleans, I know you don't want to get too shithouse drunk on the first night of a tour, but it is an off day the next day. Who said that? Hold on.

Who said that? Yeah, I didn't say that. Common wisdom. But we could really kick that thing off in style cruising up and down the fucking bourbon street lots of people are too cool for the french quarter not me baby not me i'm drinking a grenadade grenadade grenade uh i'll tell you what we should just show up a few days early and really drink it in that's actually a great idea we eat a bunch of oysters and we'll be all kind of revved up for the show.

Hey, you grill those oysters. I'm right there with you, buddy. I'll grill them, yeah. I am right there with you. Bring a little grill to the side of the table. Grill them up. Damn out. Well, Slopheads, we'll see you out there on the road.

Anything else for Booze News? I have two pieces of Booze News I'd like to discuss. What, did you have a recent purple candy you liked? No, I just finished those after my dinner. Those were my dessert today. Anything else you want to eat on the mic? No, there's something I'd like you to eat. My ass!

Stop interrupting me! I will not! I will not perform analingus on you! This is a... I'm calling someone out here on this one. Hate to do it. And I'm not going to be rough with it because maybe there's a perfectly good explanation here.

But Tim Kalpakis. Oh, the K-Man. The number one motherfucker. Saturday night. It's 8, 11 p.m. my time. 5, 11 your time time I sent you a text of what it's Monday night now and I'm still

waiting for a response to that text okay so I'm going to have to open up my messages app here my messages say it's been delivered and it was something I took time to I took a picture a funny picture i thought and sent him something i thought it might be a smile to my friend's house my friend's house my friend's face

i'm looking at this first off it's bringing us it's bringing a smile to my house right now um okay i first i'm going to say what it is and then i'm gonna give you my defense okay um it's a it's a uh it's her picture mike took a picture of a restaurant called lasagna ristorante and uh and then he said lasagna restaurant okay and the shrug emoji and the shrug i love it very you know it's not much it's not much it's not i didn't have to edit anything i snapped the picture threw it a little tiny comment that's it didn't expect much let me tell you uh can i take the stand here and explain please um i don't know where i was in that moment what i was doing in that moment. However, when I opened it up just now, the text was red.

It didn't have a blue dot on it. But the picture, maybe my phone's crapping out on me. But when I opened it up, the picture, it just said it looked like a file. It just said like IMG dot. And there was no picture there. So my guess is that me, I wasn't drunk at 5 11 p.m uh but i'm guessing that i looked at it and i thought when this picture loads i'm gonna see this picture oh that's a bummer because it comes in out of order then so you're seeing lasagna restaurant okay

exactly so i read the caption lasagna restaurant okay and then but now i get the full effect i think it's fantastic i think i i think it's a great a wonderful text and i thank you for it good i'm glad that's all i wanted to hear i just want to hear you can even text me that now but i just appreciate you kind of taking up space on your camera roll i'm glad yeah that's gonna be on there for a while i'm glad you didn't just send me a haha and not even have were able to see it so that's great well all right i would uh well i just texted you a thank you with the prayer hands um and in general i would never just double click haha and then not say anything i would probably if i didn't have

anything to add i'd probably then type ha ha at the very least. Longhand. Right, right, right. Okay, so I'm seeing your thing. You said thank you. I'm not going to respond next. I'm talking to you right here. Okay.

You don't need to. You could heart it if you wanted to. I'm giving you the heart emoji right here. Folks, I'm doing what the soccer players do. I'm putting my hands together as a heart. I saw a funny tweet recently about a girl was like, I sent him news. I sent him a nude and he emphasized it.

And I think it's so funny that on the man's side of that, he went exclamation point, you know, like, wow, you're hot. But like the girl gets the notification, like emphasized. Whoa. point you know like wow you're hot but like from the girl gets the notification like emphasized whoa this guy was like putting his foot down this is important i'd like to underline this okay my second piece of booze news is i didn't make a little song for this maybe i could have but it's a hanford holiday tip this is gonna be good this is just something you can do around the holidays you can do around the holidays. You can do it any time of year, but a holiday, it really helps you out. You know, they sell those 10-packs of little fireball nips. You know what you sell those?

Yeah. You get yourself one of those. Line your pockets with them. And when you go see somebody, like I'm going to have drinks with a friend of mine on Thursday. We haven't seen each other in a while. He suggested a place. I'm going to go and when I shake hands with him and say hello, I'm going to have one of those in my hand. In the palm.

In the palm. He's going to see a fireball drink. He's going to love it. He's a fan of the show. He's going to say, oh my gosh, that's great. Merry Christmas. Happy holidays to you. I'm so thankful for you to be in my life and I'll have one with me too so we'll do them really quick

on the street or something I like that Mike I can also imagine, what about a little pat on the back and then in a subtle tone you drop it in the breast pocket and they find it later on oh it was Hanford dropping little nips

of fireball all across the town. I sprinkled them through Brooklyn. I got one of those last year, and I haven't cracked one of them. Wow. I chug them. I chug them left and right. It's also a funny thing, because a lot of people go, what the Fireball? What is this?

It's sort of like they're getting iced. Remember that? Mm-hmm. I never got iced, so I can't speak from experience. I never got iced. I was too quick. But hey, if you're shaking somebody's hand, and then, oh, fireball, you got to drink it. That's fun.

You don't have to drink it. No pressure on the holidays. But also, the ABV on those things is pretty low, so it's just kind of a funny. It's rock bottom. It's basically a health drink. Yeah, you're doing them a favor. If I ever got iced, I would KMS. Yes, yes. Kill myself. Yeah, if I ever got iced, I would KMS. Yes, yes.

Kill myself. Yeah, if I ever got iced, that's what I do. KMS. Is that a thing? I didn't know KMS was a thing. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, is that it for Booze News?

Wrap it and crap it. You should do a flush sound oh yeah pu well let's uh you guys want to talk about the drink of the day do i ever exciting today yeah well i'm starting to recall wait a second this episode was dutton stylies oh yeah yeah you're right you're right. You're right. That was 20 minutes ago. Wow. How the time has flown here at the end of the year.

This comes from Duddy's Test Kitchen. Yes. And you have been tinkering and you have been toying. And might I add, we on our Patreon show, The Blowout, this week week we watched the film gremlins yes and and there's a character in in that the who's an inventor always kind of has gizmos and gadgets and stuff jeff i was sort of picturing you when i was watching that movie you you're in your test kitchen working on this drink clang clang yeah well i hope my inventions fare better than Mr. Gremlins. Harris was his name? Yeah.

Yes, yes. But folks, more on Mr. Harris and his family in the blowout. In the blowout. Behind the paywall. Behind the paywall. Do you remember the first thing I told you about this drink? You said you wanted molasses. You said you were working on a drink.

Yes. And this was last spring. I was, I was tinkering with the Southern Sipper. And then I said, I'm working on a drink. You said, I'm working on a drink too. And I said, great, great. You go first. And you said, well, but Tim, my boy, my drink is no summer drink.

And I said, well, Jeff, my boy, mine is. So I did the Southern Sipper in August and then was waiting. The way that a child has sugar palms dancing in their head on Christmas Eve, I've been waiting to hear about this drink. Yes. The development process for this drink has been Avatar-esque. Yes, yes. As you recall, the name of the game was Molasses. How do we get molasses in a cocktail?

And for me, that was just something where I didn't like molasses as a kid. I was like you guys. Oh, we love maple syrup. Ooh, charred maple in the drink at the fancy bar. See, that was me when I was like eight, nine years old. Now, grown man, like my grandfather back in the drink at the fancy bar. Yes. See, that was me when I was like eight, nine years old.

Now, grown man, like my grandfather back in the day, I used blackstrap molasses. Wow. A dark, dank, nasty cousin of syrup. Here's what I'll do. But Jeff, when you were, so I have to say that for me, growing up in the Catskills, upstate New York, Hudson Valley, molasses flat out did not come across my desk at all. Like, it's not like I was choosing maple syrup.

Like, I never tasted molasses until half an hour ago when I was getting my ingredients. Molasses never in my house. Are you for real? Well, you probably had it in like, it ends up in like ginger snaps or like molasses cookies. Yes, I had my guesses as to like... Taffy. I thought I knew a molasses, yeah, like cookies and stuff like that. And I could

have guessed what molasses was, but I'd never taken it to the dome ever. And I couldn't find blackstrap, so I just have grandma's normal. Yeah, whatever. I think that's fine. I got blackstrap. Blackstrap, so I just have Grandma's Normal. Yeah, whatever. I think that's fine. I got Blackstrap. Ooh, Blackstrap, I think, is just like a classification of molasses. That's just like the deepest, darkest. I looked it up.

It's like boiled one more time, so it's like the real kind of motor oil at the bottom. It's tar, yeah. On the label, it says, one more time boiled. Yes. So you read that and had no idea what that meant. Okay. It says Blackstrap. I'm buying it, but I don't know what this means. And I said that to the cashier

when I was checking out. I was like, this part of the label I get right here, I am fucking lost. I'm going to skip this part. I have a bottle of this really dark Caribbean rum that's called black strap rum yeah that's got a certain stank to it that i was able to like gather a molasses taste from that all right tim so that's the thing i just saw molasses reminds me of my grandfather

and i have like nostalgia with it sure but mostly i thought it was like an underused ingredient in the oversaturated market of all these cocktails you change one ingredient and now that's a new cocktail right i thought wow there's a lot of uncharted territory there's this untapped resource of molasses and then i was digging into like what is made with it or like what flavors do you uh what do you taste that flavor in? Of course, there's a lot of dark rums that have like a molasses, Myers, for example, a lot of tiki stuff will have like little notes of it. So I was thinking rum, but, but I, what I wanted to do was Christmas meets tiki because they're both sweet and they're both spicy. but then as i'm experimenting i'm thinking great molasses get

a little lime to sharpen it up yes yes get a little rum in there but then the rum was not quite the rum was not quite christmassy enough and when i made the change to whiskey that's when things really fell into place you see wow yeah i can see that i i can absolutely see that and i like seeing uh in this ingredient listing whiskey it's a it's rum and molasses might be redundant is what we're saying here yeah and i was even thinking um back when i was thinking rum i was thinking like i want to keep it easy white bacardi because why add myers to something that's you're adding molasses like do the easy white rum and then there's your molasses flavor so this was just

a big exercise in actually balancing stuff I meant it to be a joke and then it became an actual thing that I stressed about wait I um so I forgot to ask you my question there which was that with the molasses your grandfather was what what, putting on pancakes? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Wow. Got it. And then actually, I'll give you the quick thing I do for breakfast. Make toast, put peanut butter on it, slice a banana on it, drizzle some molasses on it.

Boosh. Wow. That's it. It's really good. Anyway, folks, today the drink is called the Yule Mule. Yeehaw. Yeehaw. Here's how you make it. Oun half whiskey half an ounce lime juice half an ounce

molasses syrup now i had to look that up it's basically you know half molasses half water you heat it up there's your syrup it's easier to work with with cocktails now yeah how did how did you you had to look it up but you're the inventor well the molasses syrup is something that exists yeah well in general when i see syrup in a cocktail recipe i assume it's like honey syrup is just half honey half water like simple syrup and it's just about making it more manageable because if you're a bartender at a bar it's hard to put sticky molasses in a drink and shake it up but if you have a bottle of right if you put pure molasses on a bunch of ice cubes though that's just going to turn into gel right i assume all right the next ingredient a dash of orange bitters this was nice to sort of

like brighten yes that's very good and then top up oh yeah and then ginger ale with which to top up. Oh, yeah. And then ginger ale with which to top up. Yes, yes. But here's the method. IBA stylies. Combine ingredients minus ginger ale in a shaker filled with ice. Shake and strain into an ice-filled glass. Top up with ginger ale, not beer. Ale.

Garnish with rosemary sprig and dash of nutmeg. Nice. Okay, so Mike, you see what he's done here? I'm reminded of almost like the French 75 or something. We're making a little sour. He's gone beautiful with the whiskey, lime, and molasses. He's gone mad. He's gone mad, but I want to say

in equal measure, you wouldn't think like lime and molasses go together. But here's the thing. They're kind of balancing each other. That lime's not really meant to come through. But with the whiskey and the lime and the molasses, it's kind of a sour. It's a blackstrap sour.

But then what he's done, Mike, is we pour that. We shake it. We pour it in the glass. And then by topping it up, it's almost like with a French 75 or some of these very fancy cocktails where you've made a sour, but then you bubble it up into a highball. Jeff, is it a highball glass or an old-fashioned glass? I'm going old-fashioned glass. So an old-fashioned glass. Typically, Mike, typically you'd use a highball glass with a carbonated drink.

But Jeff is thinking it's the holidays. You want to walk around with a big old-fashioned glass. And you'll notice. Could you give him his A-plus, please? Yeah, yeah. God damn. Here's your gold star. Jeez.

I was going to say it sounds sticky. You could also pop it in a copper mug if you wanted. Oh, pop it in a copper. Because, you know, it's the Yule Mule. Right, right, right. You know, it's basically a Kentucky Mule, but you got a little molasses syrup in there. And the reason I didn't do ginger beer is because I thought the molasses already had the sort of stinky scratch on it. Sure.

Nobody likes ginger beer. I tried it with ginger beer, and I said, you know, it's too much. It's overpowering. It's a throat't nobody likes ginger beer i tried it with ginger beer and i said you know it's too much it's overpowering spicy ginger beer and then i love ginger beer but i don't want to do you bring molasses to the table it's a shootout um that's the star that's the star now here's what i take in making the molasses syrup jeff you're talking about mixing doing it in a saucepan how much fucking syrup did you make? I put a little, and I nuked a little of each of them. So I've got a little one ounce of. You know what?

I think that's just fine. Great. I have those little skinny bottles. You've seen them. You put like, you know what would look good in those would be like a little oil, a little Italian oil. The square skinny bottles. Oh, yeah.

I filled one of those. Layers of different color sand. Hey, there you go. I filled one of those. A little bit of seashell in there. Yeah, yeah. So you're saying to anyone listening, like, go to your shelf and see that bottle of sand you have from Key West, Florida, dump that out. Dump it out.

Fill that up half with water, half with blackstrap molasses. Can I tell you, I was in I think fifth grade. I think fifth grade. We broke for spring break at my school and then we all came back. A girl in my class had gone to

Florida and she brought back a little keychain with a it said My Beach on it had like some sand and some little tiny and i said oh thanks so much and then i i took it i put in my pocket and i turned away i was like i got a crush i'm crushing somebody crushed on me no that's always crushed on me. That's nice, Mike. That's nice. That's a good way to... It's sort of the precursor to...

You know how a lot of people will hand out little bottles of... Fireball. Fireball. Yeah, yeah. The earlier childhood version of that would be sand from vacation. Going on an expensive vacation, bringing back a little sand keychain. Now, did you and this woman ever do the horizontal, you know? No, no, no.

Hibbity, hibbity, mambo. Fifth grade. Well, do you want to mix it up? Wait, so did I step on you? The garnish is a mint sprig and dash of nutmeg. I forgot to get a- Rosemary sprig and dash of nutmeg. I forgot to get a... Rosemary sprig and dash of nutmeg. Rosemary sprig.

Great. Jeff, I'm excited to use my orange bitters. I've got a bottle I never get to use. Hooray. It makes... You know, I use it sometimes to be like in lieu of an orange twist expressing over the top. Sometimes orange bitters will just give you the essence. Yeah, you want the essence.

And sometimes I'll plop it in an old-fashioned, just a little on top of the Angostura. You just mentioned in lieu of, Tim, this is a dumb question. You don't mean Lou Dobbs, do you? I did, but I don't know.

It's Jeff's drink, so. Jeff, Lou Dobbs, okay, nothing to do with this. No, no. Folks, we'll be right back with Yule Mules in hand. It's Jeff's drink, so... Yeah, Jeff, Lou Dobbs. Okay, nothing to do with this. No, no. Gotcha. All right, folks. We'll be right back with Yule Mules in hand. Ooh. And we're back with the new sensation, the Yule Mule. It's a new sensation?

A new sensation. Jeff, it is impressive looking and it is holiday looking. Yes, but we don't judge drinks on the looks, do we? No, we don't get swayed by the smell. No, no. You know what I did with my rosemary? I clapped it before I put it in there. Me too, Me too.

So I'm getting some smell. You know what I did is I held it up between my butt cheeks and I twerked and I made it clappin'. Ooh, I think we're going to have two different smells. Yeah, two different smells. Ooh. All right. First sips.

Sips. Jefferson. Jefferson. Hold on. I just got to write this down. Okay. It's 8.56 p.m. November 28th. Yes. This is the date and time of me having the best drink I've ever had in my life.

Stop. Can somebody take a picture of me? Because I just want to remember. Yeah. I want a picture of me before I had the Y in my life, Jefferson. Can somebody take a picture of me? Because I just want to remember. Yeah. I want a picture of me before I had the Yule Mule and after. This is great, Jeff. Thank you. It's like very rare that you're putting your mouth up to a drink,

you're taking a sip, and you're having a taste that you've not had before. I think that you're very right to not use ginger beer because i am getting molasses in this fucking and the i used uh my favorite whiskey is uh fucking um crown royal and that's sort of disappearing like all the i'm not getting lime they're they all are working together because this taste is like it's kind of balanced i could see myself being in in new hampshire yeah yeah and skipper bill is like hey tomorrow i'll take you down to see the mountains and you're wow down to see the mountains you're on a plane yeah you're on a private jet a blimp oh this is good jeff thank you uh you know what it

reminds me of is uh the bubbles you know when you you have a fernet and you love it but you put a little coke in there you get a fernandito it just kind of makes it a textural thang it doesn't turn it into a soda this just kind of has like a creamy, velvety thing because of that ginger ale. It's just a frother. I can't put my finger on any of the flavors. For a second I'm like, oh, that's ginger ale.

Oh, but wait a minute, there's a little black strap molasses. And what's this? Lime? Lime? It shouldn't be there, but it am I? It's working so well. I'm getting tiki. You said tiki, right? Yeah.

Yeah, well, a lot of that can be applied with the nutmeg and the rosemary and such. Yeah. Ooh. I'll say this, that on the topic of nutmeg, while the smell the the experience and makes it more holidayish if one thing that i'm having trouble with is looking at a soda drink that has nutmeg on it you don't see dirt on it yeah you tend to see you see a lot of creamy drinks yeah right every once in a while you have a tiki drink that's got nutmeg in the mix, but I don't know how I feel about looking down at my bubbly ginger ale and seeing some dirt on top.

Tim, you don't got to look at it. Maybe that's part of the method. Close eyes while drinking. Jeff, what about this? If an option for people who don't like to look at dusty cubes. Sure. Put your dash of nutmeg in with the mix before you shake it.

You know, that's not a bad idea, Mike. Yeah, that's good. Mike, there's a video that I have of you in Hawaii on your birthday getting a tiki drink at the, what was it called? It was called like Swords and Sandals or like

skulls and bones i wasn't at it wasn't my birthday but yes skull and crown yeah was that it i think maybe we said it was your birthday or something because it was very it was it was or does that drink just have fire going on because there was such pageantry this drink showed up and it had a lime on it on fire because it had like it had been like cored out with a sugar cube. And they were kind of doing, I think, is it cinnamon they powder on it to make the flame kind of crackle? Yeah. And they put on such a show for you. I thought, God, this might be his birthday.

Is this this guy's birthday? I think it was closer to your birthday. They do that for Mike on a normal night? It was such a song. Yes, I remember that. That was a cool place. Was that, were we wearing our vests that night, Jeff? Jeff and I got some glittery vests,

and we wore those out, and people loved it. But the cinnamon or the nutmeg on top is good for the flames. Oh, that's what was creating the sparks? Yeah. Interesting. A little crackling. On that Hawaii trip, it was very funny that we we all it was like a group of us and we met up in the lobby to go out to dinner one night and you guys walked down in

these matching uh uh what do you call not bedazzled bejeweled sequined sequined sequined yeah he came out with matching shiny sequin uh vests and we all got a good laugh and bow ties uh and we all got a good laugh and then we went out and it was very fun so then the next night hey meet in the lobby for dinner you guys come down two different sequin sequin vests did the joke again

just different colors different colors they were the vests we had from the birthday boys sketch the titanic sketch right and when we were like the show the song and we had from the birthday boys sketch, the Titanic sketch. Right. And when we were like the show, the, the song and dance people on the show and,

uh, on the boat. And, um, I, yeah, what I was doing, I was moving right before I,

we went to that thing and I'd like unearth them in my closet. Ooh, this would be fun to have on the trip. Yeah. And then Mike, it also plays into your new, um, this little thing that i know you do where

you when you when you're traveling on the road on tour or something like that if you can wear a clothes or have an item that when you're done with it you just discard it yep if you're on like a pair of underpants it's kind of on its way out or socks you wear it on the trip and you throw it away before you go home you'd be done with it yep and and that one too i before you go home. You'd be done with it. Yep. And that one, too, I mean, you may have thrown yours out, but on the last bar on the last night, some guy walked up to us like, oh, these are great. I was like, do you want it? He was like, oh, I don't know.

And his girlfriend was like, are you taking that? He put it on. Then he had the fun night. Wasn't that day, the last morning when we were checking out, didn't you have like one slice of Domino's pizza left over and one can of Bud Light? Oh. I hate leaving stuff behind,

but it's funny when you're like cleaning out the mini fridge. You're like, who wants to drink this Bud Light? Oh, Jeff, this is great. This drink is great. Thanks, man. I'm very excited for people to try this because it is good and i think it's going to be a hit with our listeners uh yeah it's not off the wall you know i think a lot of time when i try to think of drinks for this show it's like what's the

craziest thing i can come up with it is more complicated than i wanted it to be i think yeah chill out on the on the the preparation of the molasses syrup i think that... Really? Yeah. Chill out on the preparation of the molasses syrup. I think that... You could just go... If you shake the shit out of it, you might be okay with just molasses and a little water, huh? It's so easy making it, though. It might be about the order of adding stuff, too. But...

Hmm. I was going to say this, that you said a knot off the wall. I agree, but it's like a very distinct flavor like i don't this taste remember we went on doughboys recently we did the grog i feel like this is what i thought grog was going to be it's got a deep a depth yeah yeah i feel like i'm sipping underneath it feels like it's got roots in it yeah and that's that's that's very well put tim i think that is what i would have pictured too it's bit it's slot it's sludgy and and it's

deep it's deep and it's bitter but i was gonna say that i knew you were cooking up something jay and then i knew you had mentioned some molasses was going to be in the mix when you finally sent us this recipe i think that I maybe would have expected it to come out a little more plain and just be like, oh, it's a mule. Because I hadn't really eaten molasses before. I didn't know that it's like tar. Yeah. So I kind of thought it would be like, you know, sometimes you swap the sweeteners from like. And not tar the composer.

Keep going. Yeah. No, that is what I meant. Um, sometimes you swap out sweeteners and like from sugar to agave and it's kind of a lateral move, but the,

and I thought this was going to just taste like a whiskey mule and be like that, but no. And did the, you know, having a sweet, you know, you have the, the, here's what i like it's not a sweet cocktail at

all because your sweet thing is molasses which is also intense so now you're adding the the sour lime and the strong whiskey you're just letting the ginger ale bring in the only sugar really the the molasses is like, on its own, it's kind of like a licorice-y taste. Oh, interesting. Isn't it kind of? I couldn't put my finger on it. It's not ashy.

I mean, it tastes like the bottom of a boot. I would know if it was ashy. You've been walking in boots all day and they've got dark tar on the bottom and then you bite the bottom. Yeah, you've been walking around a volcano all day. As it melts, this was one of my concerns, because I kept trying to be like,

I don't want to lose the molasses. I don't want it to be like drinking a molasses drink. I want it to be in there a little bit. But as it melts down, during my test, I was like, I might have just created Coca-Cola. It is. Oh, interesting. It does just kind of like, we've backed ourselves into like,

it's ginger, molasses, lime, and a bunch of other things. It just tastes Oh, interesting. It does just kind of like, we've backed ourselves into like, it's ginger, molasses, lime, and a bunch of other things. It just tastes like Coke at a certain point. I was gonna say it tastes like fucking tamarind. You had tamarind soda? No. Those like Mexican glass bottle sodas, the brown one is tamarind

and molasses with lime together is really giving me that. Hmm. I'm still gonna, I'm ding you one more time on the and molasses with lime together is really giving me that. Hmm. Um, that's, I'm still gonna, I'm ding you one more time on the, uh,

nutmeg because here's what I did. Yeah. I'm drinking with a straw. I, then I halfway down, I said 86, the straw I'm going lips to cubes on this one. And then I'm getting,

now I'm chewing. Yeah. I'm, I'm, oh wait, no, that's now I'm chewing. Yeah. Oh, wait, no, that's lime pulp. Ooh, yeah. You take that back. You owe an apology to the nutmeg. Well, that's kind of nice, chewing the lime pulp. But question.

He likes it. But what would you, you know, hey, this thing is not, we're still beta testing this. Do you have any tweaks? You are very close, my friend. You know what's so nice about this drink, Jeff? It really is a holiday flavor. It's the

sugar and spice. And everything nice. I think so. And everything nice. The sugar and the spice dancing in my heads while I'm sleeping. Oh, my God. Thank you. You know, it's not just the name. You know, it's not really a mule, really. But it is a yule mule that you sound like the corn kid there for a second it's not a mule but it is a yule see jeff i would i would what's a mule what's a moscow mule

vodka vodka ginger beer lime and uh mint is there mint in this this is yeah this is tasting more dark and stormy right it's really kentucky muley right but um it's an it's an elevated mule like if you piled this with all the other mules i would say no no no this molasses thing is special i i wonder the only tweak i would uh do for me not not for your recipe but for me in a round two was i think i put too much i used a double old-fashioned glass and then the ice cubes i used were like three kind of biggish cubes so i maybe had to use too much canada dry to fill up my glass and i think if i would have cut myself off earlier on the soda pour i would have because i am getting carbonation and i kind of want what you guys have is which is more of just a silky drink i want what you guys have

you know we talk about therapy i want what you guys have a wonderful friendship this is wait yes this is what I was going to say, Jeff. I was going to ask you, when you came up with this, you knew you wanted to have a molasses. Were you like, in your head, were you like, ooh, this would complement this taste? Or did you really have to like, pour them all out, take a sip, go, ooh, that's bad.

Pour different sips out, taste it, and go, ooh, that's closer. Or were you like, ooh, I know this will help it. And then the orange bitters is a good idea. That was last minute. And it did help because it needed a brightness without volume. You were typing the recipe out for us like, oh, fuck. Truly.

This was like yesterday. Right before I sent you guys the recipe, I was like, oh, yeah, maybe a little orange bitters. And I said, yes, Jeffy, right on the money. Send it. That rosemary is good yeah um i kind of knew that rosemary uh molasses and lime were gonna work together i don't know why i thought that and i always also always want instinct a raw feeling you knew and then switching out the rum for whiskey kind of changed things up but then i didn't really know until i made

because i was making tiny little ones like half ones in my smallest glasses something a smurf might drink okay i would make the base and then i would i topped one up with ginger beer i topped one up with ginger ale i topped one up with club soda and i said no no no it's ginger ale but i didn't know until i made it full size. Like, I'm going to make it in a double old fashioned. I'm going to shake it. Because especially when you're topping up, that can change your whole balance. Yes.

So I had to make a full size one like, okay, ounce and a half of your spirit. Build it up. And then, you know. Damn. Well, you've done a good job. I think for my round two, you know what I'm going to do? What? I'm going to make the same thing, but swap out the whiskey for the white rum.

Wow. I'd love to see it. You know what? They call that a Santa on the beach. Oh, really? They do? That's what I just said. That's what you were going to call it.

That's good. Well, I was trying to do Christmas and tiki. Right, right, right. Even though Sex on the Beach isn't tiki, but I said. This is truly an original drink. Yeah. Well, all right. Do you want to make a second round?

We'll come back and we'll chit chat a little more. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to see. I'm going to do just the normal recipe again, but I'm just going to shake up the molasses right into the shaker and I'll report back on whether or not it what do you call that? Became involved. Oh, yes. I'm going to do that too. Get us involved with your story. Folks, we'll

see you right back here after this. And we're back with round two of the Yule Mule. I just did, instead of molasses syrup, full-strength molasses. And it was harder to deal with, but it shook up just fine. I did that too, but it gunked up the top. Like when I looked at the top of my strainer on the top of my shaker, there was some black molasses still in the mix but hey

you do whatever you however you molasses that's how you molasses I did much less smaller cubes so that I could do much less soda this time so it's not it looks like it's frothy instead of bubbly so I'm excited to sip I put my nutmeg

on my cubes and then poured everything over it, so it sort of distributed the cubes a little bit. Or just distributed the nutmeg a little bit. I dare say the stronger molasses, not the molasses syrup, is welcome. Oh.

I dare say less soda is very welcome. This is really good. This is more of a distinct, unique. We're getting into Trinidad sour territory. Timothy, you make me blush. This is a texture I've not had. The rum, I think you're better with the whiskey there, Jeff. Okay.

It's not bad. It's just I had more of an interesting flavor with the rum. Sorry, with the whiskey there, Jeff. Okay. It's not bad. It's just I had more of an interesting flavor with the rum. Sorry, with the whiskey. What rum did you do? Bacardi? A Bacardi white. Yeah.

Nice. That's what I was playing with. There's something about Bacardi. I think in most of the world, they have Havana Club rum, and then here we have Bacardi, and there's something because of the embargo. It might even be the same company company but it's called something here or you can't get that here but there's something there something's going on well what are your

final thoughts on this uh and don't don't pretend i'm not here. Pretend I'm not here. I'll say this. My final thought is, if you like interesting flavor, like, see, this is an interesting flavor. I had never had molasses until today. I had my guesses. I always thought of it. I thought it would be brown sugar-esque. But really, it's more like tar. And so with this drink, I like it a lot it a lot it's an order again it's delicious but it's for people who this i i wouldn't call this a crowd pleaser you know like i would say

when you got some people over for the holidays and they're intellectuals yeah serve them this when you have some mouth-breathing morons over uh you know give them uh who gives a fuck give them a fucking kick in the ass like not worth the effort those types of people i i think that we'll find this molasses taste to be divisive in a way that is interesting because i'm i like it it. I'll take that. Interesting. Not unlike the creator of the cocktail himself, you're right. This is not for everyone. But it has its spots,

doesn't it? It's very few moments when it's tolerable. It's where it's tolerable. No, I'm teasing you. This is fantastic. i will order this again i would like to go to a maybe i'll make one of those tapes where you go out and you say hey give me the the yule mule and they say what's that you gotta yeah you probably don't even have molasses made back there you dumb shit they might they might this would be so there's certain drinks

that you can ask a bartender to make and just explain it to them, but to walk them through this process, like shake and then top up. Oh, what an asshole. Now, what if you didn't have molasses? What could you possibly... Tar. Definitely tar.

Tar. But you really can't, like there's i guess like maybe you're you're like demerara syrup remember um would maple syrup do it or is that too different of a taste it might be a little different it's just hard i mean you're on the right track except that maple syrup has so much more sweetness to it it's like what it's like It's closer to brown sugar. It's got a burnt... Like a burnt brown butter kind of a vibe. Like a burnt sugar.

Brown butter, yeah. Ooh, could be a good song. Alright, well this is an order again for me too. You know, but I mean it's easy for me to say. Jeff, are you stuck on the name? Is that what the name's gonna be the yule mule no i mean i'm open for i love it because it's good because yule mule rhymes christmas mule yes what i would say is that easy to say yule wonderful world mule makes sense because the ginger and stuff but i would say we're almost

it's it's almost making this sound more normal than it is like that's what my that's it feels like you will mule should be like a moscow mule with a candy cane in it or something right yeah yeah and it's like it deserves a bigger name i think i told you i recently went to a distinct taste uh clearman's Northwoods restaurant. There's like a log cabin. They have a whole menu of mules and it's like, oh, well, this one has root beer and this one is this and this has that. If I if I drink this, I'm tasting molasses more than anything else. So so it's I would call it the Yule molasses beverage. Yeah.

Like the molasses mule is too boring. Molasses, or like, also mule makes me think ginger beer. Like, and you know that this has ginger ale, so that's a technicality, but it doesn't taste enough like a mule to me. Right, right, right. That it's got to be named a Yule Mule. Yeah, but the name is, Yule Mule is a nice sounding name. What about if I wanted to get grog in there

which would not be against the rules because there's lime yeah no if it could it be yule log grog yule log grog log grog i'll consider this log grog is not bad yeah but log but but don't you think they're like you need you a log i boiled up some turds and i mean no but i i the tar are you guys are when i say tar i'm not off base right there's a tar taste here and i would say the way that i picture a lumberjack working with his saw when he like empties out the grease gauge on his saw. Yeah, it's like all sawdust and motor oil and shit. Log grog. What about this reindeer mule?

Just you're saying in like the hoofed four-legged animal. If we're keeping mule, then it's yule. Yeah, yeah, then it's yule. Well, hey, we're open to workshopping. Folks, if you got a better name, if you can top the yule then it's Yule yeah yeah then it's Yule yeah well hey you know we're open to workshopping

folks if you if you got a better name if you can top the Yule I wouldn't open it up to the public Jeff that's a bad idea

leave it to the pros that's how we get the 1996 Olympic mascot Izzy the uh kooky cartoon

character I don't know if that's a good idea no I'm not I don't think that was crowdsourced. Hey, did you guys see a version of this that was so fucking funny that's from my hometown?

Did you see the I Voted sticker that was crazy? That's from Ulster County, New York. It's like a purple head with red eyes and spider legs. Yes, they were like, they wanted to do something fun with the I Voted sticker, so they opened it up like a purple head with red eyes and spider legs yes they were like they wanted to do something fun with the i voted sticker so they opened it up like you could draw art and you can send it in and there was going to be a vote on their little website and some 14 year old boy drew like a

crazy man's face on a spider's body it says i voted and it's everybody in that everybody in ulster county like thought it was funny and started voting for it and then because it's everybody in that everybody in Ulster County like thought it was funny and started voting for it. And then because it's like on the Internet, just like everybody started voting for it and it went viral. So like I looked at the I was in Kingston at the time when this was happening and like there were like a few different options. The other options had like a couple hundred votes and that one had like millions. And then and it won. And then like so crazy. my brother lives in kingston so when he voted this year like that was the sticker that he like had was oh my god so funny i feel

like i've seen that thing i mean you know when you say it's gone viral you know i've seen it around but i wonder if other uh voting districts picked it up because it's funny and beloved it's funny as fuck it's so funny it's like harmless it's just crazy it's funny and beloved. It's funny as fuck. It's so funny. It's like harmless. It's just crazy. It's like wild looking. I love the idea of picturing like in that county, you know, like it's all there's like lots of probably like grumpy old conservative

voters going there voting to make America great again. Then they get the sticker and it's like this crazy spider boy. Like I voted wrong. Wait, you guys, we're talking about the name of this drink. You guys have heard of the Yule Mule. Yeah. But have you heard of the Dutton Quiz?

Oh, no. Yes, the inventor of this cocktail is not only known for his beverage tinkerings in the test kitchen, but he's also the subject of a hot new quiz that's all over the podcast circuit. Okay. I got one of the answers. Two and a half inches hard. Three soft. Okay. Yeah, it condenses.

Okay. Yeah, it condenses. So what we have here is a quiz of trivia questions revolving around our friend Jefferson Dutton. And you're going to blurt out the answers. You don't have to buzz in or anything like that. Now, here's the thing. Jeff, you used to kind of complain that you were bad at the quizzes. You didn't do too well.

But then I feel like you've had a lot of victories recently. Yeah, I'm doing okay. Now, these questions are all autobiographical about your life so you definitely have the edge sure and didn't mitch lose the mitch quiz oh mitch is a moron he did but yeah that's it's tough because you you get panicky i think you get panicky and jeff start panicking because it's time for the dutton quiz okay here we go oh and by the way i'm the judge okay uh question one tsk tsk young jefferson used to work at pack sun suncoast mike's wrong jeff it is suncoast suncoast pack sun doesn't have dvds it's sort of pacific sunwear oh it's like vans and yeah great it's sort of like a pacific sun where yeah i guess

you could say you could say all right question number two uh yuck. In college, Jeff drank a gallon of this. Milk. Jeff has it. Okay. He's pulling away in the Dutton quiz. Well, I was sort of waiting for the thing to be asked, so I got to get right in there. Yeah, you got to blurt.

You can blurt at any minute. I got to blurt. Yeah. Question number three. Well, you don't say. Jeff. It could be any question. Well, you don't say. Jeff. It could be any question. Well, it's an interesting fact.

Yeah, okay. Well, you don't say. Jeff once painted this character on a table. Edward Scissorhands. Jeff has it. Oh. Now, Mike, you're doing very good. It's been a speed thing, but you know these.

It's the Los Feliz lag. Yeah, yeah. Oh, right. Jeff says things on the East Coast lag. Because my voice just has to go down the street. Right. And Jeff, you're west of me, Jeff. So you say it and then it kind of hits my ear before it gets to Hanford.

It makes sense. Okay. Moving on to the next question. What in the world? Jeff's hair used to be this grapey color purple purple purple all right he was a purple pea but he was pink at one point yeah yeah yeah was that when the purple faded or was it always it was he had to go purple on the way to pink is the thing oh very interesting you got pink so purple could pink walk so purple could run the other way around but yeah good well we're not here to about talk about pink and purple all night we're here to

move on with the dutton quiz all right next question looking good jeff once had this t-shirt professionally tailored wolverine. X-Men. I'm giving it to Mike even though it is X-Men. Yeah, no. It's Wolverine as well. It had Wolverine on it. It was on it. I found a t-shirt at a thrift store. It was a small

and it said X-Men on the top. Wolverine down the side. And then there's three pictures of Wolverine. It was from like 93. It was a gem. I could sell the thing on Depop for like 600 bucks. You probably could.

But you had it like the seams down the side. Because it was like a children's size. It was very- Opened up and then added to. Yeah, so I took like an old t-shirt and I brought it to a tailor and was just like, could you just put like, here's another shirt. Could you just like put a strip of fabric down the armpit and down the shirt and then so many places were like we don't do that and i finally found one i finally found that's a lot

of work for a little oh no they could do that in their sleep tim you don't you don't know what these guys did i admit i don't know um i did that one i had a white hat that was like a roper cap that had a a yellow cord on a white hat and the yellow was bleeding into the white hat and i went into this uh los fieles um dry cleaning place stop the bleeding stop the bleeding yeah you have to put pressure on it i was like hey i got, I got this. Um, and I, I was trying to be charming. You know, I was like, I know this is weird,

but I'm fine. This is kind of weird, but your job is probably boring. I'm coming up with an interesting thing. And I did my whole spiel and the guy just goes, no. Okay. I got a lot of that with the Wolverine t-shirt,

if you can believe it. But I remember seeing just, it's so funny that you're like wearing that shirt. It's's a cool shirt but then you lift up your arms and you can see these strips going down the side i'll tell you what uh you know covid and drinking more and eating more and growing up i gotta get that shirt let out once again a few more strips yeah um okay well we're not here to talk about letting out shirts all night. We're here to move on with the Dutton quiz. Next question. Looking good.

now am i wrong jeff in my memory this shirt has disco balls on it does have disco balls and other things okay well you can tell by the way he uses his walk. This to me, I'd have to go back and review the questions on a piece of paper or something, but it seems like a lot of them are about Jeff's shirts. I can't really tell. I do know that Jeff has seven and you

have three, so whatever it's about, you gotta do better. I gotta stop worrying about what it's about and get my fucking shit together. Exactly. Okay. Next question. Never mind.

Jeff wore this man's stripy shirt on Halloween. Kurt Cobain. Yes. Michael is catching up. Kurt Cobain. Things are heating up. Kurt Cocaine, the grunger himself. Next question.

Kurt Cocaine. Okay. Okay. Not only is this guy on Jeff's shirt, but he also shot first. Greedo. Jeff gets Greedo. Oh, Jeff got Greedo. All right. That was pretty close. Thank God.

This one's kind of a deep pull. What in the world? Self-proclaimed Democrat Jeff Dutton used to wear a t-shirt from this Second Amendment type place. Los Angeles Gun Club. Yes, Jefferson. Oh, damn. That was popular for a time. All of our friends were kind of like, everyone was like, oh, you got to go to the gun club.

Remember that? It seemed like there was like a wave of people like, yeah, I went down there. It was fun. Well, Mike, you go down to the gun club and you CNBC-ing, you know? CNBC down at the... Okay, let me see here. We have one question left.

Now, the score is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 to 4. Nice. Let me just see. There's something about this question. Oh. Uh-oh. The last question is a daily gutting.

What's it say? And that means it's worth 10 points. Oh, no. Holy shit. So that's very big. That's exciting. That's exciting. So if I'm doing the math right, that means that it's really anyone's game here.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. The final question. Tim, can I just say I was afraid of this sort of thing? Yeah. I mean, you knew that the double was coming up. This has bitten you before, Jeff.

Yeah. The final question. Well, this is problematic. Jeff once appeared as a guest on a talk show hosted by this alt-right icon. Gavin Newsom. No, no. Gavin. Not Newsom.

The Proud Boy guy. Yes. Mike. Yes. Gavin Newman. No, no, no. Not Gavin Newsom, no. Gavin Rosdale.

Gavin fucking... McGinnis. Yes, Jefferson Dutton has gotten the Dutton double, and that puts him at 19 points. And you have won the Dutton quiz. Oh, I'm so happy. Wow. And hey, Mike, you were also a peer to Gav and Mick.

Yeah, I was on that too. That was before he got into, he was trending towards his past thing. It was post Vice magazine. Yeah, and I remember he had a song because he knew the Birthday Boys, and we were talking to him for a while, and he tried to like, because he knew the birthday boys and we were talking to him for a while and he tried to like he was like baiting us into

some kind of like sort of tough questions like forget what it was but something we were like I don't know which groups of people do you hate? but Jeff and I were like

oh yeah I don't know it was something about the show it was like spilling the beans about someone on the show or something and we were just like oh yeah and he was like okay I can see something about the show. It was like spilling the beans about someone on the show or something. Right. And we're just like, oh yeah. And he was like, okay, I can see I'm not getting on those. Like he wasn't pushing us at all. Yeah, he wasn't.

Because he mostly wanted to talk about pool jumpers, which is nice. Because he said, we met him at a wedding and he said he went through a period where he watched pool jumpers every day. And that's what led him down his path to well that concludes the dutton quiz that was a good quiz yeah those are fun good uh good game those are gg good game now mike is wearing a con smith t-shirt right now remember that for the han, Tim, if you only knew the backstory of that t-shirt, this used to be a Dutton.

That's so, did somebody give you a Boston Bruins shirt? Yes. And then I was like, I don't know if I'm going to wear this. And you were like, I would. It's Tim Thomas,

the goalie from the Bruins. When they won the, their last Stanley cup, he won the con Smythe. Oh, that's so funny that somebody gave Jeff an NHL shirt. Like, I know you,

you're from New England. You'll want this. You'll want this. If I remember, Mike, around that time, somebody gave you a Ninja Turtle shirt. And you were like, I won't wear this. Really? And I snatched it up. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, I don't remember that. I feel like, Mike, you inherited a whole wardrobe from Dave Ferguson. And sometimes, like, when you're coming out to L.A. for weddings, sometimes you arrive empty-handed and Dave puts a suit on you and sends you Dave Dave and I are about this exactly the same size and he's giving me one key shirt polo shirt that I get compliments on all the time is it like a yellow it's yellow and it's kind of it's very light and just kind of falls on the body very nicely it's like tissue paper.

And if I remember, it had shoulder like epaulets on it, right? Yeah, epaulets on it. And you cut them off. Which make it not cool. And he gave it to me, and I cut them off, and it's been the best shirt ever since. You know what's funny? He gave me a pair of brown pants. Yes. Were they brown all over or just in the seat?

The seat. They were brown. The back crotch all all the while deep through deep and through um so he gives me these pair of brown pants and he's like i don't know what to do with these they were kind of like flared you know it was like early enough in our trip to la that they were like oh boot cut oh yeah and uh and he was like i don't know if these are my style anymore and i cut him into shorts and he saw me the next day and he said oh shorts i should have known and you dave had these he had the best stuff he just need to use he just did he's not creative get the scissors out dave gave me that remember that uh blue flannel i used to wear blue and

black yep flannel that that was a a cornerstone of my wardrobe for in the back in the flannel i used to wear blue and black yep flannel that that was a a cornerstone of my wardrobe for in the back in the flannel days and that was all sponsored by ferg that was that was part of your uh offstage wardrobe and your onstage wardrobe yeah campers act casual anytime yeah anytime a call for us to be like uh sort of rough woodsy guys that would come up very much just like how i've told you that in in high school there was a dress code at my private catholic high school so i didn't want to i didn't buy jeans or t-shirts too much because i was like what's the point you can't wear them to school same kind of thing with when you're in a sketch group i was sort of just wearing the sketch clothes you know you're hanging around normal day i'm dressed as a cop

ferg dresses me once for Halloween. He's gone to my closet and he got some khakis and a plaid and then got a long wig. Oh my God. We got to find pictures of that. That was so funny. Yeah. Huh.

I would like to see a picture of somebody, their whole family, Peepaw, Bing Bong, Mom, Daddy, and the kids all wearing the Sloppy Boys. Snapper, Papper, and Lowball all wearing fucking shit. And, you know, we did a lot of t-shirt talk during the Dutton quiz.

People are probably in the mood to spend, spend, spend on their little friends. We should have a t-shirt that just says Dutton on it. I'm a Dutton. How do you Dutton? I'm a Dutton. You're a Dutton. Well, we could sell them to the Yellowstone crowd.

Or Yellowstone. They won't know they're wearing Sloppy Boys merch. How do you Dutton. Well, we could sell them to the Yellowstone crowd. Or Yellow... What is it called? Yellowstone. They won't know they're wearing Sloppy Boys merch. How do you Dutton? That's good. As if just not anyone could just make bootleg merch, we have to trick them into buying band merch. What if it says Dutton on it and it says, like, not the show, the drummer?

Right. Yeah, that's good. It'll be like, there's no Dutton show. There's no show called Dutton. Oh, yeah. Not from the show, from the drummer right yeah that would be like there's no dutton show there's no show called dutton oh yeah not from the show from the drummer of the drummer um that could be what if it says dutton really big on the front and then like on the back down low by the butt it says not from the show right yeah of the drummer what about what if what if it's one of those novelty shirts that says dutton but there's an arrow going up and says, underneath the up arrow it says the Dutton, and then underneath it says, I don't know, what is it, the man and the myth?

So the Dutton and the myth. Oh, that's good, yeah. Well, also it could be cool if it's a t-shirt, right? So it could say, this type of shirt has no buttons, but there's a drummer named Dutton. Ooh, what about an I'm with Dutton shirt and an arrow going to the side?

That's good. You could wear something like that. Yeah, sure. I wouldn't wear that. I'm sort of more going for a classier look these days. T-shirts aren't really my thing anymore. Conn Smythe. Yeah, t-shirts from When Did He thing anymore. Con Smythe. Con Smythe. Yeah.

T-shirts from When Did He Win This? I think it's on here. 2010. Well, hey, who's up next for making a drink, a pod-exclusive drink? I've got some ideas, but I had an idea for a holiday one that I tried, and it sucked, so I'm abandoning that that I've been tinkering and I'll just flat it out even say what I'm working on

is that incorporating my beloved Sichuan chili oil into a martini of some sort yeah look at that I was trying to talk to Jack Schramm about ways of sort of incorporating the flavor because oil will just float back up to the top.

Sure. So he was telling me, I thought I would fat wash it. And he was like, no, you're going to want to infuse where you kind of put some chili oil in some vodka. And then you'll get it cold and scoop out the cold oil. Whoa. Oh, I see. But I almost don't mind. I don't mind an oil slick on top of a martini.

It could be like a floater. And you're just like, hey, you gotta suck the oil first. Suck, suck. It's the chili oil martini. I mean, you can see the t-shirts already. I'm working on something with tequila in it, but

it's barely there. Oh, you're working with tequila on that? Yeah. I have the recipe. I'm just trying to get the right sponsor to really push it over the top. You should talk to a peewee hermit. Ha ha. Could be good. All right, folks.

Why don't we meet back here same time next week? Love it. I like that idea. Bye, folks. Give it up for your boys. Give it up for your boys. Give it up for your boys. Give it up for your boys. Give it up for your boys.
