Woo!
Hey, guys.
Thanks for having me.
Welcome.
Wow.

I know you guys have such a great rapport, so I'm just going to keep quiet the rest of the time.
Thank you.
So, guys, what were we talking about?
We just wanted to make sure we could record four at a time
yeah yeah i just i'm excited to be a guest but i'd like to be a silent one that just sits and
gets to enjoy it oh he'd like to be a silent one this is exciting we i when you said contest winner
jeff i thought oh of course we've had nilan before uh for the what episode it was in his backyard
mojito flaming dr pepper no we did flame but
dr pepper his house but he wasn't there he wasn't there i think i was the house guest was that also
the time neil where you received pictures of us passed out watching dark knight rises exactly
where i thought it was a bit for actually a while i was like they didn't really all fall asleep on
my couch oh no it
happened did we send you pictures or was that like ring cam pictures of us in your house
no you sent me pictures yeah it was like you on the you guys on the couches because that was maybe
the first time we got real tanked on the show was flaming dr pepper shots have bacardi 151
and then we we talked about on our patreon show we talked about Olivia Rodrigo and
I was like she's the best
of all time and then
yeah we watched Dark
Night and we ordered
like Nashville hot
chicken and it was a
fucking mess and we all
fell asleep we all
slept over at your
house when you were not
there why were you not
there Neil I was I must
have gotten there and
you were I think I might
have been out of town
yeah you were supposed to be keeping his I think I might have been out of town, yeah.
You were supposed to be keeping his house safe, Mike,
not bringing over your lunatic friends.
Yeah, yeah.
I had a couple parties that time.
Oh, no.
Mike.
But what if I had come home?
You're worried how you would have reacted. Oh, I would have been furious.
Oh, I can't live the peaceful memory of that one week long ago now neil you've also appeared on the show as
you have a recurring segment campbell's corrections where you point out flaws that
have happened during it's kind of a fan's favorite segment um and i was wondering if uh
are there any in the works did you have any flaws um the you could put us on blast right now if
there's a live correction that'd be great well i suppose i'll put you on blast yeah uh no i would
say uh uh i've i've been um made redundant uh what i hear now is uh a little and then dutton comes in with a correction that
he recorded after the recording ended and i go no no that's for campbell's corrections
nip it in the bud you're uh i have no longer have a job because of you
i i did find one that one i didn't correct Tim at some point you called Zing Zang
Zig Zag
oh the Bloody Mary mix
yes I forget where that was
I think Hanford got a football player's
position wrong once
yes yes I did
Aaron Donaldson
I think
his name was wrong I think
I think he also said he was a linebacker or something so his name was wrong, I think. Right, but I think you also said he was a linebacker or something.
So his name was wrong and his position was wrong.
We could have been talking about somebody else.
He made up a guy?
Maybe you were actually talking about a different player.
I think I called him Aaron Donaldson and his name's Aaron Donald, right?
That sounds right.
But he's number 99.
You cannot?
He's a number one fan.
Neil, how the hell are you?
I'm good.
I'm excited to be here.
I really, I mean, you know, you guys know me.
I listen to every episode, and I don't want to ruin one, so this has to be a fan favorite.
You've already ruined one.
Oh, that's true.
Hey, remember, you were on another time one time.
You and I were in New York, and we were eating lunch, and you had a little chip review.
I think we got some potato chips.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Some wild audio out some potato chips. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Some wild audio out in the field.
Oh, yeah, chip review.
Also, you pop up in blue Hawaii, if I recall.
Yeah, I think you kind of hear me in the distance.
Damn, you're practically a co-host here.
Neil is the ghost in the machine.
Damn, it's almost like he knows our every move.
Whoa, wait a minute.
That would be wild if you were the trickster. It's probably nothing.
Oh.
People keep saying I'm the trickster.
By which I mean one or two people have said
I'm the trickster. Big fan theory thinking
Neil Campbell is the trickster.
Well, do you care
to comment one way or the other?
I can't think up tricks that good.
Yeah, that's a problem.
I wish I had a brain that worked like that.
The way he tricked you into having a gift.
Using a nice gift.
He's just really a guy who doesn't have his emotions sort of lined up correctly.
The wrong things come out.
But we love him anyway, the trickster.
We hope for more gifts soon.
Yeah, geez.
Wink, wink. And we love him anyway, the Trickster. We hope for more gifts soon. Yeah, geez. Wink, wink.
Wink, wink.
And we love Neil, too.
And here's the thing.
We're celebrating.
This is a special cross-promotional episode, in fact,
because today's drink of the day factors into a certain TV series.
Neil, why don't you tell us a little bit about Digman,
which is premiering on Comedy Central
on March 22nd.
All right.
This is a show I've been working on for a long time.
Co-created it with Andy Samberg.
Longer than like a month though, right?
Well, longer than but including a month.
Okay.
Yes.
So sometimes our fans are like, oh, a long time is like a month's a long time.
But sometimes fans are like, oh, 50 long time is like a month's a long time. But sometimes fans are like, oh, 50 years.
Who knows?
Right, right.
Sometimes, yeah.
Because you might be like, look, my favorite toy is a rattle.
A month is a significant portion of my life.
Yeah, right, right.
Right, right.
Well, I mean, for conception, it was a thing Andy and I, when I was working on Brooklyn
Nine-Nine, we had talked about and then kind of really dug in uh uh i love that choice of words by the way i totally love that like in 2020
we wrote the pilot together and then uh things take a long time and things happen and don't
happen and happen and then uh uh yeah we've been working on it really like steadily non-stop the last like year and a half and that's occupies my every waking thought at all times and we'll see how it does well neil
slop nation stands with you oh thank you i did i but i was i said to timmy i think i said all
you guys i was like i gotta start the promo tour i to get out there. We got to lay the track,
get people to know
we're actually excited about this.
Yeah, anyway,
so it's an animated show.
Andy is the voice of an archaeologist.
It's set in a world
where archaeologists are big celebrities.
And so they make discoveries
and get endorsement deals
and go on TV and stuff like that.
And Andy's sort of a guy trying to make a
comeback. And we got
a really funny cast,
a really funny writer's room,
including Tim Kalpakis in the writer's room.
How could it not be with Tim in there?
He's cutting up. I've been in a room with him before.
It's wild. Yeah, well, I see you in one with him now.
It's a buckle of your seatbelts type of show.
I've had a few bon mots in the room. Yeah, well, I see you in one with him now. It's a buckle your seatbelts type of shit. I've had a few bon mots in the room.
Yeah, bon mots to say the least.
I ate a few bon bons.
Yeah, the entendres did not stop at a single.
They'll do extra entendres.
I pushed them.
I doubled their numbers.
You got Hanford doing some voice acting in the mix.
Come on now.
Hanford did some voice acting in it. That's true.
Thank you. I'm told
that maybe there's a spin-off
opportunity if I want it.
Yeah, it's called the Hanford
Cartoon. Comedy Central
called me. Some guy at Comedy Central.
Basically, the only holdup has been that
you don't seem to want it because everyone else
is really on board with it.
They say, you want the money? You want the voice acting gig? I said, sure, but I don't know if to want it because everyone else is really on board with it. They say you want the money.
You want the voice acting gig.
I said,
sure,
but I just,
I don't know if I want it.
Tell them I'll take it.
Now I brought a clip,
a 30 second ad for Digman.
Jeff,
roll the clip.
Legends are rarely real.
I guess I let you walk real. Shut the up,

Hey, everybody.
It's Tiki K.
Here.

I didn't know it was an actual clip.
I kept waiting for the shoe to drop.
We tend to blur the lines of reality.
When I first saw that trailer, I was just watching it on my phone,
and I got a big LOL out of the one, two, three, four.
Yeah, me too, me too.
That's great.
Very good.

Yeah.
We've had so much fun

And then this is why
we're doing this epic crossover event on the Sloppy Boys.
The Slopheads are going to like this show.
That's the thing.
Yeah, I think so.
It's the sense of humor.
You're going to laugh.
You're going to be happy with your life.
Yeah.
I think so.
Isn't that what you wanted all along, folks?
Yeah.
A little happiness with your life.
One TV show to finally make you happy now uh i know that we talked about like well when we have neil on like is there like a digman
esque booze that we could get into but before we get into that before that yeah before that
this is still shit would you like to get into a little bit of
tim booze news to a little bit of boop boop boop boop Tim?
Booze News! Hit it!
Woo! We'll have booze-noose fun. Roll out the booze-noose.
We've got the booze on the run.
Sing boom-tarara.
Bring out a song of cheer.
Now's time to roll the booze-noose.
For the gang's all here.
It's booze news, you sloppy dudes.
Booze News Polka was sent to us by King Kang the Kanger, Eric Kang himself.
And if you have a booze news theme, email to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com.
Now I like the people's booze news themes have started to incorporate like
old production cards and little tags from like the seventies and eighties
that just like hit me in the lizard brain and distract me for about 20
minutes for the rest of the pod.
It's a cottage industry.
I mean,
I think he's really getting paid through that production company.
But okay. So today's booze news.
Neil, you're
an intellectual and you enjoy interesting
facts, right? Oh my
God, this guy knows me so well.
You're the second, maybe the second
smartest person I know.
Of course, I did spend a few summers
with Sir Albert
Einstein.
I don't know that he was sir. Of course, I did spend a few summers with Sir Albert Einstein. Wow.
I don't know that he was Sir.
He needed help with his theorems.
Oh, yeah.
That's what it was.
He needed help wiping his butt.
Yeah.
He needed help combing that wild hairdo of his.
You were saying, Tim?
I was saying that I got a couple of bees of booze news that I specifically chose for Neil's episode because these are interesting factoids that some of our slob heads have sent to us.
The type of thing that I think that Neil might enjoy.
Neil's a kind of a sporkler and a trivia guy and a Wikipedia head.
And these were interesting to me.
First from our good friend,
comedy writer,
Zach Dunn.
He DM to me,
brought this to my attention.
I mean,
Hey,
it's March madness season.
We're all thinking college basketball.
Yeah.
We're all thinking that.
Is your bracket busted?
Let's hope not.
Did you know who plays guard for the Indiana state Sycamores?
A guy named Kravaciaaulay oh that's his real name
now crevasse of course we know is the drink is is cavalli another uh another oh macaulay
macaulay as in culkin yeah as in culkin irish last name, but first name, Kovasie. Kovasie?
He's a senior at Indiana State.
He's 6'5", 211 pounds, folks.
Keep your eyes out for him.
Oh, he's a big boy.
Kovasie.
You can't miss him.
Macaulay, named after the beloved cognac.
Is he somebody, you think he's,
did Zach Dunn say he's going to keep going
and make it to the NBA, does he think?
Zach Dunn said yes, he's going to keep going and make it to the NBA, does he think? Zach Dunn said yes, he's going to keep going and make it to the NBA.
Is he somebody who's on the scouts' watch?
I just wanted to put him on the slob heads radar
so that we could kind of be rooting for him.
Yeah, rooting for him.
I don't know shit.
Is Indiana State, would they be in the 64 teams in March?
I have no idea if they're good this year, but I think they theoretically could.
Yeah.
Well, we got to get Dave Ferguson on the phone to tell us.
I would assume if the guy's a senior, he's probably not a huge NBA prospect, right?
It feels like NBA prospects all leave early.
Well, it says you're a senior citizen, so his time is probably fully gone by.
He's more of a ref.
Okay, so we're going to be
keeping an eye on him. And then here was my other
factoid sent to us by
Slophead Seth C. on
Instagram. Seth
Kavasi? Do you guys know who was
the artistic coordinator
in the film Lilo and Stitch?
Yeah, I do, actually.
Does anyone else?
Artistic coordinator?
What is...
No.
I don't know.
I was going to guess Ahmed Best or something.
Brad Bird.
Close.
It's a guy named Jeff Dutton.
Hey!
That's right.
You've been looking at IMDb, my boy.
He also did visual effects in Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King.
Wow.
Have you crossed paths with this guy, Jeff?
No, but I watched Lilo and Stitch and I did a double take when I saw the screen because his name comes up like very soon.
It's like one of the first names.
Oh, that's funny.
I thought you would have just like looked, been searching yourself on IMDb or something and then be like, hey, another Jeff Dutton.
Hmm.
and be like, hey, another Jeff Dutton.
The only other Jeff, actually, there's a Jefferson Dutton,
who I believe is the only other Jefferson Dutton I found.
He was in Arizona in jail, a child molester.
Scary fella.
I think he's dead now, though. Yeah, the other Jefferson Dutton.
But now I'm the only one.
So now he's in heaven.
Yeah, he's safe now.
Well, at least he's off the streets.
You must be encountering a lot of the Yellowstone references, Jeff, huh?
The Dutton family?
Do I ever.
Do I ever.
Oh, yeah.
I didn't know that Yellowstone was such a big show, but now they've got like Coors tie-ins
and like Lucky Brands.
There's like spin-offs and stuff, too, on that show.
Like there's...
You've got to target...
Like huge stars.
It's crazy.
Like Harrison Ford, who, would never do television.
Wait a minute.
He's doing Shrinking and a spinoff?
Yeah.
Wow.
There's, like, more than one spinoff.
But, yeah, like, shirts at Target will say, like, Dutton Ranch on them and stuff.
It's crazy.
It's everywhere.
Now.
Come on.
You'll be a hit.
No, no.
They should all be wearing Sloppy Boys merch available at thesloppyboys.com.
Oh man, we should go
into Walmart and put a bunch of
Sloppy Boys shirts up on the racks.
Can I buy this? No,
just take it. These SKUs don't work.
I was saying to Tim, I always
look forward to when the new
collection drops. Oh, we got a new one
on the way for you, Kneeler.
I'm a big fashion guy.
I love clothes.
It's around this time of year,
the spring-summer kind of wardrobes are getting released.
Yeah, that is exciting.
How short are the shorts going this year, Neal,
do they say in the runways of Milan?
Well, it sort of depends which leg you're talking about.
I see.
Oh, that's's gonna be interesting
yeah i can't wait to see what the guys are wearing on the beach who's wearing the short shorts on the
beach um neil had a little bit of a wardrobe issue earlier today he was wearing a fleece with a
button-down shirt under it and then he wanted to take the fleece off but he didn't want to
expose his torso to everybody at work so i held his shirt down and then he pulled the fleece off.
It was kind of a team effort.
Nice.
Yeah.
He gave us a pullover.
No way to just zip it and take it off.
I would have done that.
Had that option been available to me,
I would have gladly just disrobed had it just been a jacket.
But no, no.
Twas a pullover.
Twas a pullover, you see.
Crew deck.
Neil's heard some of this, but i don't know if i told you guys
more the the latest on my snore situation my i've got off the chart snoring not normal
weirdo crazy freak snoring that's not like you showed us last time that bar it was just like
a bar across i've got the waveform it's just a solid red bar oh yeah and it's only gotten worse
louder and faster in his waveform all over town so here's where it's only gotten worse louder and faster on his way for him all over town
so here's where it's at now i went to a head and neck surgeon he looked into my nose and into my
mouth and he said it's a teardown it is a whole fucking redo and now now this will be interesting
to slob heads who enjoy my speaking voice and my singing voice because this guy's going in there.
You're doing it.
He's going to, I'm going to have a major surgery on my head where I undeviate myself.
I've been suggesting it for years, by the way.
Stop.
I've got a deviated septum and he's going to fix that.
My airway in my throat is kind of small so he i don't need
my tonsils out but he's gonna take my tonsils out just to give me a bigger airway best to be sure
all at once get him out all at once and he said as a freebie while he's in there he's gonna
snip out the uvula totally no no snip it what and it's gone and that he said it's just that way i'm just gonna have more air uh but
i'm wondering about my i'll have a different nose i'll have no uvula and i'll have no tonsils
and i wonder if i will no longer have my signature gravelly tone yeah it could be smooth as this is
dangerous tim i mean you do this you lose you lose half the audience probably
yeah also i mean i know you i saw you right after that your your eyes were wet your face
streamed with tears and yours that you know doc said i can't play tonsil hockey no more
yeah but is your how's your pocket pool career damn get your hands out of your pockets it's a good career you gotta watch him
um that's wild tim that's uh exciting exciting to have maybe a problem the uvula
uvula thing freaks me out like that's for something you you evolved tim to have that
hanging back there and Saliva production?
Is that what it is? It's saliva production, but it's not the lone producer.
So there's other glands back there.
And then uvula is just being like, hey, how about a little
up top here?
Now, Tim, did they discuss, did you
discuss anything about eustachian
tubes? Did you talk eustachian tubes?
He didn't mention eustachian
tubes. What are those interesting
it's the tube that kind of connects your sinuses and your ears something to look into are you
usually on the inside of your body he said there's like pillars nothing to look into i just know that
yeah tim you should get a second opinion from hamper here before you do anything yeah i mike
i think i'm gonna do the tube thing let's do that i'll just come up to your place and you do the
tubes i'm gonna need uh i'm gonna need a pipe cleaner a big one, long one
two of them actually because we'll go on both sides
when I was in kindergarten like three kids
in my class it was like oh he's got tubes
in his ears is that what this is about?
yeah
I could be
I think they have something to do with each other but I
remember kids with tubes in their ears
and they take those out I think right?
they better
but I don't know what it's all about well well is that it for booze news last piece of booze news
is some kids have tubes in their ears but they're taking a crap it up hard hitting but we don't know
nice all right now that's out of the way i'd love to hear about the drink of the day Nice.
All right.
Good one.
Now that that's out of the way, I'd love to hear about the drink of the day.
Ooh.
Okay.
Well, it's very special.
The drink of the day in celebration of Digman on Comedy Central is Rum Chata.
You've had?
Ooh.
Not had.
Not had.
Only heard.
I've had.
You've had?
I've had. I hope so. That's why you're had, only heard. I've had. You've had? I've had.
I hope so.
That's why you're here, I thought.
Neal's never had, never heard of it.
No eyes here.
For Mike and Jeff, you've never had, you've heard.
What do you think?
Does it have a reputation?
Do you think of anything when you think of it?
What do you know?
I think of it as one of those bottles in the liquor store that you cross all the time,
and you're just like, oh, yeah, I see that all the time.
Don't know what it is or what it tastes like or who buys it.
Yeah.
But I'm picturing the chata part I'm thinking is horchata.
What about the rum part?
Well, that one is pretty obvious.
I'm not even going to answer that.
I expected it to be in a goofier bottle, almost like a buzz ball or something.
I expected this to be more of like a stunty thing.
And then I found the bottle.
I thought, this looks pretty good.
I'm sort of proud to display this one.
It's got a nice gold top.
And it's $30.
It's like kind of a premium item.
Yeah.
I did ask if they had a smaller one, and he said, no, that's the one we have.
The person at my liquor store, she was like, that's the biggest.
That's the only size we got.
She must get that one.
I'll pay you guys all back.
Thank you.
Well, okay.
So I'm going to tell you guys the history, but Neil, this drink is featured on Digman.
So when you and Andy put that in the show, what was, what's, how does it factor in the show?
And what were you thinking of when you reached for the rum chata?
I'll tell you.
I remember, you know, we're writing the script.
We're training it back and forth
doing, you know, hey, I thought of
a good word. Here. And I sent it
to him. Oh, I'll write the next word.
An exquisite
corpse type of thing. Exactly. Figuring it
out like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then, but no, one time I sent it to
Andy. He did a pass on a
scene, sent it back, had a rip at a bar, rips the main character.
He's sort of not at his peak at this moment.
He's sitting at a bar a little depressed and he orders a rum chata neat.
And I was like, oh, I had the same experience.
I've only ever seen rum chata as a thing on the, you know, grocery store shelf.
I never thought what it tastes like, what it is, much less would you order it at a bar when you're like supposed to be like a cool macho guy.
And so I thought that was really funny.
Made it to the first draft and had stayed in ever since.
Nice.
Is this the pilot?
That's the pilot, yeah.
And then it gets referenced a couple more times throughout the series as uh a drink of choice for a rep but but that was the origin of it was andy
writing it into a scene of like what he would order at a bar when he's kind of feeling down
his luck a character's gotta have a drink of choice yeah a signature item so then we tried it
my first time trying was after was it i was like, I guess eventually I should try this. And so a few months later, or literally like a year later, finally
tried it. And then, well,
I'll say no more. And here we are.
Well, you should. We want to talk about it
here on the podcast. No, no, no.
From here on, my lips are zipped
when it comes to the topic of alcohol.
Yeah, wait a minute. You said you weren't going to talk much.
The idea, though, is
so I guess like the joke
we're laughing at there is not yet it's
something you just see on the shelf but then also that it's like sweeter maybe more of a sissy drink
than you would expect uh like an indiana jones type to be drinking so we'll keep that in mind
when we when we drink today if if that's the deal but yeah i looked at i go ahead oh i was just gonna say in general i think like
at a bar ordering a drink that's like like bailey's this is a pre-mixed drink in a bottle
is like a straight is is not yeah what else is like that like hypnotic like yeah or like
yeah you wouldn't do kalua with i don't think you'd do Kahlua by itself, right? But it's funny because I don't,
well, Kahlua is a liqueur and this is,
what do they call it?
I mean, oh yeah.
Because I don't really think of this as a cocktail.
I think of this as like a Bailey's Irish cream.
Yeah, like a Bailey's.
You never, you wouldn't,
the joke is you like, it's by itself, right?
Because it's always paired with something.
And it's kind of a low ABV.
I don't know.
But I mean, it does say on the front, horchata con ron, right?
Right.
So it does sort of seem like it's theoretically a cocktail of two ingredients.
And I looked it up.
It's recommended you drink this just like an ounce and a half on the rocks.
So it's not like it's weird to drink it straight.
But still, a funny order nonetheless for a TV show. So I
thought, rum, chada,
horchata, rum.
I was wondering what the history of this is
and then I looked it up
today and saw that
rum chada was invented
in Wisconsin in
2009. Yeah, that makes sense.
Which is the perfect... Damn, I thought it was like
It's so recent. It looks like a
drink from like the 90s to me. Or yeah, or like
an 80s holdover or something like that.
Wisconsin's so funny because yeah, of course it
comes from the land of like dairy.
Yeah, true. And I didn't necessarily
think, I didn't think it would be from
Mexico, but I thought it would be somewhere maybe
Mexico adjacent because of the horchata
thing. There's also, becauseican horchata is made with rice uh rice water rice milk yeah and
then there's no dairy right yeah oh right it's i think it's just like creamy from the rice but
then and then there's a spanish version that's made with like tiger nut or something like that
but um what this tiger was dreamed up stop it jeff we're doing proper talk on the pod okay um it was just a
guy in wisconsin who worked for this is what he did and he had worked for jack daniels jim beam
and knob creek and then he was working for midwest custom bottling and he just wanted to come up with
a drink and he thought of horchata and rum and he invented this. And it's what's, here's what's interesting. Real rum, Caribbean rum, real dairy cream, real sugar, cinnamon, no rice product in here, but it's interesting. It's real cream and that doesn't go bad. Like you can have this out on your shelf for six months.
Huh.
Mike, it looks a lot like when you said it was from 2009.
I think the thing I was always confusing it with was Malibu rum.
That sort of look.
Ah, yes.
So I wonder what.
That seems more like a 90s thing to me.
That's what the first time I ever puked from drinking Malibu rum was the thing that put me over the edge yeah it was like the last day of my
uh fall semester sophomore year of college and i had never gotten sick from drinking i was like i
guess i'm invincible and it was like a night where i was like i had some like sangria and then some like malibu rum and like just was a disaster and then
michael cassidy my my sure friend and my college buddy he the guys does the uh theme for questions
for lennon exactly he uh was driving me to the airport i threw up in his car uh the next morning
i was on a plane threw up on the plane next to a baby. No.
Was the baby like, hey, that's my job.
Yeah.
Was that you?
You have a job?
No.
No, no, no.
That wasn't me.
Let's hear about the first time you got drunk, though, Neil.
First time drunk at college.
Oh, the first drink I had?
I don't even think I got drunk.
Who served you your first college drink?
My first college drink, I never had alcohol.
The end of my freshman year of college, I went to Iowa.
I had come from Virginia.
I didn't know anyone.
First semester, didn't really meet that many people.
Second semester, spring semester, I started meeting people in the theater department.
A 10-minute play festival that started going to theater kid parties,
having not been in theater really in high school.
And so people caught wind like,
Neil's never had a drink.
We gotta make him a drink on his last,
you know, night of the semester or whatever.
So the drink, okay.
Well, it was made for me by two guys, Jake Johnson of new girl fame, uh, and his buddy
Billy Bungeroth.
Uh, and they like sort of put their heads together and they were like, what should Neil
drink?
What?
And they were like, well, whiskey.
And they're like, yeah, or no, I think the gin, gin, gin's not too hard.
And I was like, but let's cut it with something.
And so my first drink was a gin sour. It never happened.
It's a group think version of like, well, this should be this combined with this.
And then I had like a beer after that.
Gin sour.
You come back for like your freshman year.
You're like, oh, I want to drink gin sours all summer long.
Jake and Billy said I can.
Jake and Billy, I can. Jake and
Billy, if they're listening, they're going to think you've come a long
way because it's about time
for us to drink this rum chata.
I was wondering how I was going to
drink mine on the rocks and a serving
size is an ounce and a half. That's like a shot.
But if Rip Digman drinks his
neat, I think I'm going to drink
a rum chata.
An ounce and a half in a little
old-fashioned i should have put mine in the uh it's just been out all day damn no no wait did
you open it though mike no no no i when i got mine at cap and cork the guy said you should
refrigerate this and i said yeah but it says don't and he's like yeah you should refrigerate it
after you open it i i it's it not saying, it says no refrigeration necessary.
It doesn't say don't refrigerate.
Yeah.
All right.
You can put your fucking.
They're bragging that it won't go bad.
Well, why don't we leave these suckers with the ads,
and when we come back, we'll have rum chatas in hand.
Nice.
I love it.
Bye, folks.
Peace. hand nice i love it bye folks peace
and we're back rum chata's in hand let's see them check out my little addition here you see that oh cinnamon jefferson well you poured a lot in
there jeff is that a? I wanted a good pick.
Do you have ice in there?
I should have done that. My pick is shit.
I just did the ounce
and a half and it looks pathetic
in my look up. You know what?
I didn't put ice, but I had a nice
cooled down rocks glass.
Ooh, Mike's been doing this.
He's got all sorts of glassware ready to go
in the freezer. Keep it all. I keep my plates in there I keep cereal in there
whatever
I'm freezing
so this stuff is 13.75%
alcohol so
27 proof
so that's a low ABV
it's an apparition
it looks like it's in the nog family to me
yeah we've had so many drinks that kind of have this form factor.
I'm excited to try it out.
Okay, should we sip?
Let's do it.
To Digman.
To the Digman.
Ooh.
Ooh, that's good.
This is a delightful change.
It's a bit of a step up from the borg i'll tell you that
i still have a half a borg in my fridge
i can't wait to hear the episode i assume hangover free the next time
you would think um yeah when you said the nog i think because i was trying to think also earlier like what is a
drink like this where it's an alcoholic pre-made drink that i don't really think is a mixer that
so you know would be strange to order at a bar and like i guess there's sometimes those spiked
nogs that are kind of yeah yeah yeah it'd be weird just like give me a drink from that carton of nog
like pay extra for something i could have got in the grocery store.
I think you're right.
I'm coming around to it.
I'm calling this a cocktail.
Now, thinking about it being 13% alcohol, I do think you could drink a big glass of this if you want.
I don't know where I saw the one and a half ounces.
I could have made that up.
But I feel like you could pour a big full glass of this as long as you don't mind a sugar rush.
I think the ice would help if you got a big full glass of this as long as you don't mind a sugar rush. I think the ice would help if you got a big full glass.
The mind reels, the possibilities that you could use this for.
I want to put this in coffee now.
Ooh.
Rum chata.
Make rum chata a big part of your daily routine.
Oh, yeah.
Start your day right.
Start and end with the chata.
Tim, you said...
Wait, did you say there was no rice in this or there was?
No rice.
It does have a ricey little aftertaste.
That could be fun to add your own rice.
Now, the big question to me, though, is this...
You guys know I take the keto lifestyle so seriously.
Is this keto?
Is sugar keto?
Ah, sugar, right?
Oh, damn.
You might be all right on the milk part.
All right, well, I guess I'm not keto again today.
One of these days.
One of these days I'll get it.
Not if you start putting this in your coffee in the morning.
You know, because I get the salads every day,
but then I cover it in croutons.
That's the carbs.
I'm getting cinnamon.
You guys getting cinnamon?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
This tastes to me almost exactly like Coquito, which we made this Christmas season, the Puerto
Rican eggnog, as it's known.
But I would say it's also the same type of thing where it is
extremely sweet. Drinking it neat
is a little bit intense, and I'm longing
for rocks. But it's a good...
It's as sweet as candy,
and it's cloyingly
sweet, but I like the flavor
that lies therein.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
It's sweet, but it does have... You get a little
sense of the rum taste, which is cool.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it's not completely hidden by the chocolate.
It tastes to me like white chocolate that I've had before.
Does white chocolate, does that have like cocoa in it or is it just a whole different thing?
I think they took the brown out.
Like white rice.
What does brown do for you?
Remember UPS commercials?
What can brown do for you?
Slide down my ass cheeks.
I hated those.
Oh, down them?
Well, that was a campaign for shit.
At the same time, there was this other thing.
Oh, no, you're right.
There's a lot of confusion about that.
You'd go on the wrong website,
and you'd get turds into your house.
Mike, do you remember when I was laid up with food poisoning in your place,
we were watching TV and a commercial with like pubic hair came on?
Do you remember this?
Wow.
No, I don't think so.
It was a commercial for like women shaving.
And the whole premise of the commercial was just like,
we can say pubic, just say it.
Oh yeah.
And then there were like all these singing pubic hairs
like bouncing around like springs.
But it was such a fever dream-ish commercial.
I was like, was that real?
Did we see that?
That's true.
Yeah, they're like, we can say pubic.
I can't, is that, I might be remembering wrong.
Is that the last episode of Mad Men, the commercial that he comes up with at the end?
I think it might be.
Yeah, I think so.
I could give the world a pube shaver.
Tasting this, I know it's rum based, but I kind of feel like it could use a little whiskey
warmth as well.
Whoa.
That's what we did.
That'd be cool.
Neil, last time we had this, we ended up putting it on the rocks with a shot of Maker's Mark.
And it stiffened it right up, but it stayed warm and nice.
Ooh, that's nice.
The spice is nice.
Good drink.
That could be a round two.
A round two adjustment for me is just put a little floater of something on there.
Yeah.
All right.
We'll be right back with round two.
Neil!
I want to drink more!
Neil, you're not going anywhere, buddy.
You stop that.
I do.
I know I'm fixating on this now, but is there a world of these things on store shelves that we just ignore that are...
things on store shelves that we just ignore that are... Because obviously, I know you can buy different types of cocktails in a can where there's
all sorts of Palomas and blah, blah, blah, blah, a million things.
The new style thing.
But a bottle, you just pour however much you're deciding to pour.
And that's the thing.
And also, that isn't...
A lot of those cocktails in a can are...
Cocktails in a can.
A cocktail in a can of a thing you know of.
Yeah, right, right, right. A whiskey and Coke or something. As opposed to like a weird proprietary bottle.
Yeah.
Is that,
there is,
there is no other rum chata type drink,
right?
Yeah.
If you,
if you would like put a gun in my mouth and said like,
guess where this came from.
Just guess.
I dare you.
Uh,
you know,
I would have been like,
pull the trigger.
No, but you have to guess you have to guess yeah and then i and then i would have guessed
i would have guessed yeah like maybe some weird corporation made this into like a product that
they're selling like from wisconsin but that it was based on an actual cocktail that people enjoyed it but perhaps not at all i there is
stuff like this there's you know what i've had that's most similar to this i might even have
some in the back of my fridge now my beloved disaronno amaretto came out with like a disaronno
cream and it's an amaretto cream drink that's about this strong and a very very similar drink but like i don't know
yeah i don't i don't know if anyone buys that ever or if it whether you would call that like
is it like a cordial if you're i guess it's a liqueur but it's um they smell people yeah what
what is this what are we drinking what am i looking at here because like you know slides
between a few genres there There are weird blends too.
Like even Soko, you wouldn't call it a cocktail, but it's not, you know, they're taking a liquor and they're monkeying with it and adding spices and fruits and stuff like that.
Soko is a good example because I've kind of heard it pitched.
It pretty much is like an old fashioned in a bottle.
You know, it's like a, it's a whiskey, a whiskey liqueur that's been sweetened up.
bottle you know it's like a it's a whiskey a whiskey liqueur that's been sweetened up and if you just put on rocks it is like kind of like a bad old-fashioned but i still drink it
you know what i i say this a lot but i really think an orange something could go in here
because give it like an orange julius type of taste like an orange juice about an orange-faced
president yeah it makes me like are there other drinks like this that are secretly good?
Like, I think this is massively improved
based on my preconceptions.
We should do an episode sometime when we're all together
and do like a mad grab,
and like everyone goes to the liquor store
and buys something,
and we all try all the crazy things.
Just get the weirdest shit you can get.
And then like a massage circle at the end watch it why you know spitballing it's not that
maybe how you do things in the writer's room spitballing ideas yeah we have a planned script
please stick to it oh right neil here's a question and you know it's so rare you get to
talk to a creator of a show where it's true for me too actually well i've not i've really been
accepted in the showrunner community yeah i don't think they know i exist where did the idea where
did the idea come from for the show where what what sparked it was andy like hey i want to i'm trying this
character i like to do or did you say i'll tell you andy gave me a call one day i'm driving home
from work i'm on the one-on-one i'm about to hit the silver lake boulevard he goes
hey what about an animated show about a shithead indiana jones nice and he's like i thought that'd
be a funny character to play and then da da. And I said, yeah,
I thought that would be funny. We had been talking about
like, oh, how much we like adult animation
and how it would be fun
to write a show, you know, because we were having a good time on Brooklyn
Nine-Nine and I was on set a lot on that show.
Yeah, you like that adult, that hentai
stuff. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Tentacle stuff, yeah.
Yeah, medical dictionaries
kind of. But, you know, we were like, Yeah, medical dictionary is kind of...
But, you know, we were like, oh, something that we're like, we can sort of go sillier and bigger and crazier than Brooklyn.
Not that Brooklyn wouldn't allow that, you know, out of...
But it's real people live action.
Right, exactly.
It's like physical production limits things and stuff and budget and, you know, good taste.
So we were like, yeah, let's be fun to find something that we could just write a bunch
of crazy jokes and gags.
And we grew up loving Simpsons and South Park and Conan and stuff like that.
And did you say to yourself when it was like, OK, it's going to be archaeology is going
to be the world?
Did you say have a moment where you're like, ooh, are we getting too focused?
Or is it going to be tough to come up with ideas?
Or obviously ideas just come from the people, the characters.
You know, we just sort of met over,
like we kind of didn't meet for a while
when Andy was working on Palm Springs.
So we started meeting up again.
And so over time, I think the other like kind of big eye opener
was when we went, oh, it
could be about, um, it could be in a world where archeologists are celebrities and we're
like, oh, that makes it a little more fun.
And we're not just sitting here going like, now, are we just actually writing, you know,
Indiana Jones or national treasure store?
You know, you're like, oh, let's set it in a crazier world and have more fun with that.
That's like such a classic comedy move too, that I feel like features don't have the balls to,
to swing for anymore,
or it's like,
you got a funny guy.
He's got a weird job and he's your gateway to a weird world.
We used to have so many Zoolanders and Ace Venturas and even
Anchormans and Paul Blart.
And it's just like,
you just need a weird guy with a weird job. And then he's your way in baby and even I mean when we were
hiring writers when we were casting the show if that was a lot of it too was like I don't want
someone who comes in it's like this is how an animated show is supposed to work you know or
someone who well that would be on the writers front you know and so we were like let's get
people that we think are just really funny and make us laugh and are very comedy focused and
and i know i think tim was telling me about this day in in the office when you took the rule book
of animation open the window and chuck the rule book out the window yeah but let's see then it
sort of stayed suspended in midair until it looked down and then it fell. Yeah.
And it fell onto a seagull.
I'm gonna write this now.
Hey!
Bokok!
The Gull Brothers.
Where there's a lot of like animated shows
that are,
some of which are very good,
but that are cast not with a lot of comedians,
even though they're comedies and,
and no shade on any of them.
Cause a lot of them I enjoy.
And I think they're actually very well cast for,
and they're achieving what they set out to do.
But we were like,
ah,
let's just try to get a bunch of people that really make us laugh and
that we think are super funny.
And so got Mitra Jahari and Tim Robinson and Tim Meadows and Guz Khan and
a bunch of noise.
Funny.
Yeah.
And where does it land
as far as cartoon
physics and stuff? That's always a fun
thing. Simpsons
sort of decided early on that they aren't going to
do cartoon physics even though it's a cartoon,
but not that it's any,
has any sort of bearing on the comedy
of a show or the quality of a show. No, no, I mean, I would say
it's in a world where
people could lose their
lives you know it's not like you could fall off a cliff and hit the ground and live you know
there are still like like if there's a if you dig up a mummy you know he could come to life and
chase you around a bit yes yes it's not very grounded but i would say the animation style is
a little bit like there are physics i mean i'm sure someone who's an actual
helicopter pilot will watch you know tim robinson's character driving a helicopter like
you're wrong there aren't physics well i gotta write a letter another letter to this same show
um yeah like if a character is chasing a mouse and the mouse goes in a hole and character's face
hits the hole is their face taking the shape of the hole or not?
That's if we get a second season.
That's kind of the main question.
That's sort of the answer.
The physics will be answered fully in season two.
My question, Neil, is you do a lot of writing and there's all these scripts for the show.
Do you ever have act two problems?
Yes, frequently.
Usually when we write Act 1,
we skip ahead to Act 3.
That's my worst nightmare.
Yeah.
Act 2 problems.
There have been times, you know,
a moment here or there where you get writer's block.
You once had writer's block
for about six or seven seconds, right?
Yeah.
No.
Agony.
I was halfway out the window.
That's prime typing time for you.
Yeah.
Oh, brother.
I used to teach, as did some of you guys,
I used to teach sketch writing at UCB.
And I had this student one time who was like kind of obsessed with the
writer's block, he'd be like, anytime it'd be like answering questions, he'd be like,
what do you do about writer's block? And I was like, I mean, I don't really know. Uh,
like I don't really sit around waiting for brilliant ideas. I just have, when I have to
write, I just write. And then he was like, yeah, I always get a writer's block. And this is like
sketch one-on-one. It was was like so worried about writer's block.
Brought it up a lot through the whole class.
I finished eight-week class.
And then afterwards, when the class was done, he friended me on Facebook.
And I saw his main picture on Facebook.
He had done like a photo shoot where it was him sitting with a typewriter.
And he had his hands in his hair.
He was pulling his hair out like, argh!
Like writer's look,
I guess it must've just been like when he was a kid,
he heard about this concept and it's just like,
wow,
that's so romantic.
Writers blog.
I got to get through the writer's block.
Um, and you can go ahead and bleep his name,
but it's,
I knew it.
I knew it was him.
Well, hey, would you guys change anything about this drink?
I'm going to do rocks and whiskey, half rum chata, half whiskey.
I'm going to do rocks, and I'm going to see what type of orange I got going on over here.
Oh, smart.
I'm going to pour a little more classic original rum chata
and then i'm gonna i have horchata and rum oh so i'm just gonna see what the i know that this
isn't even technically horchata because it's dairy and i think horchata is not but i'm gonna try them
together it is like a horchata with like a hint of cinnamon maybe all horchata neil this is good
podcasting mike tim why didn't you come up with this? Because we're stupid.
I said I was putting orange something in it.
I tried to, but come up with
I had writer's block in the moment I was trying to
come up with something.
Equal parts, what do you think?
Should it be 50-50?
Is it a big, like if it's a horchata
that's like
I don't know.
Because sometimes horchata is really sweet and pungent
I've never been in a test kitchen like you guys
we're dumbasses remember
did you get it from like a taco stand
no it's like
whatever that like silk rice
brand of rice
milks are
yeah try equal parts let's see
alright nice
nice oh I'm excited to see that.
Okay, cool.
Folks, we'll meet you right back here after a couple more ads.
Ooh.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Yes, yes, yes. Hi, Franny. Francis. Oh, okay. Oh, no, no, no, no. Yes, yes, yes.
Hi, Franny.
Francis.
Hi, Fran.
I can't hear you.
What's up?
She can't hear.
She's got to hear.
Let's get her on the pod.
We're back.
You can mic her up.
Oh, she's gone.
Oh, she's gone.
There she goes.
She couldn't hear because of the headphones.
Damn.
This month's guest on Questions for Lennon, Fran Gillespie.
Oh, nice. Folks. This month's guest on Questions for Lennon, Fran Gillespie. Oh, nice.
Folks, subscribe to the Patreon,
become a Big Money Hustler tier subscriber,
and you can hear Fran Gillespie,
very funny on Questions for Lennon,
this month on Patreon.
This month, hear Neil's roommate, Fran.
Wait, we're back on right now.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
And we're back with round two, rum chadas. Yes. And we're back with round two rum chadas.
Yes.
I did a little shot of a brandy on top.
I didn't have bourbon,
but I didn't want to do rye.
So I did brandy just a little bit.
I did the same.
Me too.
I did.
I made my homemade one.
Ooh.
It wasn't silk.
It's like rice dream or something like that,
but let's start with that.
I got to hear it.
I got to hear.
Okay.
Hmm. He's crying.
It gives him pause.
He's barfing.
It's giving pause.
Oh,
he has writer's block.
It's fine.
It does.
You know,
it lacks Mr.
Rum Chata.
I don't know what you're doing in that factory of yours,
but you come up with some magic drinks. Mr. Rum Chata, I don't know what you're doing in that factory of yours.
Ooh, you come up with some magic drinks.
What it just tastes like is like when you put like whiskey and coffee or something. It's like, oh, that tastes great when you're like walking around on a cold day,
like a pumpkin patch or whatever, and carved at Descanso gardens or something,
but,
uh,
it's,
it's,
it doesn't taste like an actual drink.
It's like,
Oh,
I spiked the watery side with rum.
That's what it tastes like.
Right.
Are you getting though the horchata?
Like,
does it taste ricier than this than our rum chatas?
It's,
it's a thinner drink
because it's the rice stuff.
And I shook well.
Believe me.
But it's...
Probably you need to change the percentages
if you want more of the horchata taste coming through.
The Kraken is overpowering it.
I'm just wondering,
is it safe to say that the rice is nice?
Would you say the rice is nice?
I would love to say that.
But it's
in my contract. I'm not allowed to.
Okay, yeah.
Interesting. Hey, you guys wrote
the contract. I did the
Grand Marnier. I put about
a... I only had a little bit left,
so I put what was left in it, which was about
I'd say three-fourths of
an ounce into some
horchata or some rum chata.
I don't really taste it that much.
I wish I had
more.
Now, you're always trying to put that Grand Marnier
in something. I would say Grand Marnier
is kind of similar to rum chata.
It's like
orange liqueur and cognac
and you can drink it on its own.
It's like a digestive.
But see, you put Grand Marnier, you get that on a Cadillac Marg a lot.
That's nice.
Yep.
I got the half and half brandy rum chata on the rocks way better than a normal rum chata.
Delicious, divine.
Wait, whoa, whoa.
You did half and half?
Yeah.
What'd you do?
Oh, I just did like about a shot on top of a glass of rum chata.
That's not so bad, Jeff.
That's not so bad.
I got to say, when I bought that rum chata, I was like,
what am I going to do with the rest of this bottle?
That thing's going to be gone by the weekend for sure.
It's fantastic.
Do you think you're going to do that thing where you put the bottle up your butt
and you do a handstand and it goes glug, glug, glug?
And it goes.
And all that's left is some green air yeah now my turn fill me
the bottles
wait who was that
the bottle
after it filled you with rum chai
oh he wants it back to fill it
so you have to pee into it
uh no I was honestly and this is probably random
i was thinking liquidy shit oh nasty man i was already in his ass that's the thing it's already
there nasty man now neil if we tune into digman are we gonna get this type of scatological humor
yeah this is maybe not my type of thing, Neil.
I would actually say probably not as much as I'm doing here.
I would say a first draft, sure.
As we hear things over and over.
A little less, but you know what?
Yeah, there's some.
And Digman is Y7, right?
Yeah, exactly.
TV Y7?
Yeah.
Show it to your kids.
I literally like the first the cold open i'm like
old people i know i'm like oh boy no you should watch it
where are all the wrinkles yeah cartoons don't have enough wrinkles for the old audience they
don't they don't relate animators run out of ink for their pens You gotta draw those things These characters are too smooth Neil you gotta be nice
No
Do you have a joke that you're excited for the world to see
You don't have to say it now
But are you like oh I can't wait to see
I mean hey you know what
For every episode
I feel like I'm excited about people seeing it
In a different way
I feel like we never
This could be a good thing or a bad thing,
but never really had a formula.
And so sometimes we bang our heads against the wall,
but everyone feels like kind of special and weird and different in their own way.
But one thing I'll say is episode six written by Timmy Kalpakas.
Very funny.
Wow.
Slopheads.
Excited for the world to see it.
Lots of really funny jokes.
Now he came up with the idea all by himself, went into a room, typed it up.
He just showed up one day.
He had written the whole season on day one.
Yeah, he gets to doing that sometimes.
Yeah, we just kind of punched it up from there.
I like to just walk in and slap the script on the desk and say,
take it or leave it, Mac. I like to just walk in and slap the script on the desk and say, take it or leave it, Mac.
I like to
come in, I take a big
script, script length, but it's all blank
page. I said, we gotta fill this thing up.
Fuck
tears. They would know any jokes.
This is just sitting next to the copier.
Yeah, would you put that back?
We need to print stuff.
Yeah,
you know know it was
a dream getting to work with old timmy k and uh let's hear it you know happier with people
people listening to the pod they know the beloved calpy k on the podcast but let's hear what's it
like what's tim like in the room is he is he a lion or a lamb is he a shark or a minnow he's he's he's all of
them he's uh oh that's what makes him such a good writer he's a lamb and a minnow he starts pacing
back and forth someone starts you know talking i go it's perfect you know and he's just oh he can do this we should get zanku
oh we got a lot of vegetarians on staff tim there's not a lot of options
god damn it we're eating chicken every last one of you
you ever you ever just let this guy off the chain and see what happens? That's mostly what the show is.
Let's see what happens.
Do you remember?
We wrote together on Comedy Bang Bang on IFC,
and we had a little device we used that came up.
It actually generated bits that made it in the show where you would walk, you would step out of the room,
either into the closet or side room or into the hallway, for what was it was like 15 seconds or seven seconds maybe like seven or something
seven seconds and then by the you when you came back in the door you had to have the name of a
segment and uh and everyone would laugh at your name a segment then we'd pitch for a little bit
if there were a segment on comedy bang bang called that what would it be and we did actually i did you remember any that came up i don't remember
i i bet like joe saunders or someone would remember i want to say i wrote a sketch called
don't look a gift gift horse in the mouth and i i know at the very least that that was title
i don't know if it's during that game, but I know that I just said the title.
And then after that wrote up a sketch where it was a game where you're
given a gift horse and you have to try to not look them in the mouth.
And everybody kept looking him in the mouth and be like,
damn.
Oh man.
Wild times.
Yeah.
Well,
Neil,
I'm looking forward to this show.
It's fun to see you do stuff and I'm excited to see what you got cooking.
Thanks.
Tim, too.
Tim, too.
I appreciate it.
You guys, Mike does some really funny voices on it.
Thank you.
I catch those, and everyone who's involved is really funny,
and I'm excited for people to see it.
Me, too.
Can't wait.
Can't wait, baby.
All right, let's give our final thoughts and get out of here.
This, for me, is order again.
How can it not be?
This is great.
Mm-hmm.
Stone Cold Classic?
Perhaps.
Ooh.
Timmy?
For me, you know, it's very sweet, but I say order again on the rocks,
and if you're allowed to put whiskey on top of it or brandy, then do that as well.
Oh, you are.
You are.
The bar will let you.
Kneeler.
Oh, I'd order again.
I guess my big question is, will I order ever?
I've only ever had it at home.
I bought the bottle.
I am curious.
Can you just go into a bar?
That might be fun to try. Bring the bottle and say,
hey, can you pour this into one of your cold glasses for me?
Yeah.
That would be shocking to see this bottle on a shelf.
I'm going to peek
at every bar from now on.
I think this is an untapped resource.
This is like a diamond in the rough.
There should be a handful of drinks that include
rum chata.
I might make my way over to Depop's clothing
on my clothing app and see if I can find a rum chata hat.
Yeah, you would do that.
That's cool.
You know what, Tim?
I bet they got rum chata roper hats like you wear, Tim.
That would look good.
No, you got to get a mortadella roper hat, Michael.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, rum chata briefs you could try, too.
Deli meat I've never
tried.
Support it. Yeah. Folks,
it's great. It's in order again. You should go try it.
Go and get the biggest bottle
you can find.
Chug it. You're going to need it.
And do that thing where you put up your butt and do the
handstand and then the bottle says, hey, how about me?
And then you shit back into the bottle.
Everyone talks about that, but no one actually does it anymore that's our show follow us on social media at the sloppy boys where we release these recipes ahead
of time and hey if you can't get enough boys go over to patreon.com slash the sloppy boys
and tune into the sloppy boys blowout that's bonus. And check out the questions for Lennon.
That's the bonus bonus.
Oh, yeah, man.
It's all happening, man.
Hey, I'm a patron.
Yeah.
Patron.
Yeah?
I love it.
I take advantage.
He's getting that double content.
Well, you're going to have to listen.
Are you a big money hustler?
Have you heard Fran Gillespie on this month's questions for Lennon?
I'm not a big money hustler, but I have heard Fran Gillespie's voice before.
That's close enough.
Okay, that counts.
And you've been on Questions for Lennon.
I've been on, yeah.
I should be one.
I just onboarded so early on
and have probably never logged on to Patreon.com ever again.
I think also if Digman's a hit,
Comedy Central gives you a little bit of a pay bump
and then you're bumping up on the Patreon.
That's true, that's true.
See if another piggy joins the stock.
We should all work extra hard so that we can climb up the tiers. Very good. Setting a good example.
We should all work so hard.
And check out the website, folks. That's where all the spring fashions are happening.
Oh yeah, we've got new questions all the spring fashions are happening. Oh, yeah.
We've got new questions for Lennon shirts up there now.
Yeah, and you've got
Digment on Comedy Central
March 22nd right after South Park.
They killed Kay!
Maybe season two. If you get a season
two, Neil, maybe you've got
Rip or one of the side characters wearing
a Sloppy Boys t-shirt.
We'll license the logo. We don't care.
Great.
Kneeler, where can people find you?
Your home address.
I guess I'm
Kneeler dude on social media,
but Instagram's
kind of the only one I'm ever
even sort of poking in on.
What about people in LA that want to
go to the Elysian Theater
and see Playhouse Masterpieces?
Yeah, that's good.
Yeah, if I wasn't thinking social media,
I was thinking real life.
The second IRL.
Pretty much the second Friday of every month,
but check the calendar.
Paul, Russ, and I do a show called Playhouse Masterpieces
at the Elysian Theater,
where we sort of,
the format changes around depending on our
whims but it's basically an improvised
play or semi-improvised play
that's very
goofy and silly and we always have
a bunch of our super funny friends in them
and that's high art that's
primo performance it is high art it's important
it's got themes all that stuff
and another thing for
people that live in Los Angeles,
we could bleep this if you want, but Neil lives at...
If they wanted to go by to his home.
Check him out, folks.
Oh, no, you don't have to bleep that.
Come on by.
I'll move tomorrow.
