Starting point is 00:01:25 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
Starting point is 00:01:51 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
Starting point is 00:02:00 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.
Starting point is 00:02:14 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
Starting point is 00:02:51 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
Starting point is 00:03:33 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.
Starting point is 00:03:49 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.
Starting point is 00:04:03 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.
Starting point is 00:04:19 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.
Starting point is 00:04:36 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
Starting point is 00:04:54 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.
Starting point is 00:05:14 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.
Starting point is 00:05:28 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.
Starting point is 00:05:48 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.
Starting point is 00:06:06 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
Starting point is 00:06:22 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,
Starting point is 00:07:12 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
Starting point is 00:07:27 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.
Starting point is 00:07:44 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.
Starting point is 00:08:04 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.
Starting point is 00:08:18 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,

Booze News! Hit it! Woo! We'll have booze-noose fun. Roll out the booze-noose. We've got the booze on the run.
Starting point is 00:11:31 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
Starting point is 00:12:11 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
Starting point is 00:12:30 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.
Starting point is 00:12:45 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.
Starting point is 00:13:00 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.
Starting point is 00:13:27 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.
Starting point is 00:13:36 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.
Starting point is 00:14:10 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?
Starting point is 00:14:24 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.
Starting point is 00:14:52 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
Starting point is 00:15:11 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?
Starting point is 00:15:27 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.
Starting point is 00:15:37 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.
Starting point is 00:15:55 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.
Starting point is 00:16:17 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.
Starting point is 00:16:32 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.
Starting point is 00:16:44 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.
Starting point is 00:16:58 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
Starting point is 00:17:08 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.
Starting point is 00:17:24 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.
Starting point is 00:17:43 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.
Starting point is 00:18:07 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.
Starting point is 00:18:20 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
Starting point is 00:18:52 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
Starting point is 00:19:26 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
Starting point is 00:20:18 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?
Starting point is 00:20:55 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
Starting point is 00:21:18 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
Starting point is 00:21:37 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.
Starting point is 00:22:06 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.
Starting point is 00:22:19 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.
Starting point is 00:22:29 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,
Starting point is 00:22:45 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.
Starting point is 00:23:04 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.
Starting point is 00:23:16 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.
Starting point is 00:23:35 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.
Starting point is 00:23:53 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.
Starting point is 00:24:19 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.
Starting point is 00:24:43 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.
Starting point is 00:25:14 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
Starting point is 00:25:38 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.
Starting point is 00:26:12 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?
Starting point is 00:26:27 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.
Starting point is 00:26:50 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
Starting point is 00:27:07 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
Starting point is 00:27:24 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.
Starting point is 00:28:27 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
Starting point is 00:28:57 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?
Starting point is 00:29:30 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?
Starting point is 00:29:48 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.
Starting point is 00:30:11 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
Starting point is 00:30:34 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.
Starting point is 00:30:53 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.
Starting point is 00:31:12 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
Starting point is 00:31:31 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.
Starting point is 00:31:55 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.
Starting point is 00:32:26 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.
Starting point is 00:32:42 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
Starting point is 00:32:59 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.
Starting point is 00:33:17 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
Starting point is 00:33:51 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.
Starting point is 00:34:17 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.
Starting point is 00:34:37 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.
Starting point is 00:34:55 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.
Starting point is 00:35:16 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?
Starting point is 00:35:29 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
Starting point is 00:35:48 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
Starting point is 00:36:04 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?
Starting point is 00:36:27 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.
Starting point is 00:36:39 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.
Starting point is 00:37:00 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?
Starting point is 00:37:18 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.
Starting point is 00:37:36 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.
Starting point is 00:37:58 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!
Starting point is 00:38:11 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.
Starting point is 00:38:33 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.
Starting point is 00:38:49 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.
Starting point is 00:38:59 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
Starting point is 00:39:18 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.
Starting point is 00:40:06 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?
Starting point is 00:40:48 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.
Starting point is 00:41:04 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
Starting point is 00:41:56 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
Starting point is 00:42:18 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.
Starting point is 00:42:38 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?
Starting point is 00:43:08 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
Starting point is 00:43:30 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.
Starting point is 00:43:52 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
Starting point is 00:44:23 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!
Starting point is 00:44:53 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.
Starting point is 00:45:08 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.
Starting point is 00:45:22 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,
Starting point is 00:45:35 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
Starting point is 00:46:01 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.
Starting point is 00:46:33 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.
Starting point is 00:46:53 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.
Starting point is 00:47:07 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,
Starting point is 00:47:30 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.
Starting point is 00:47:58 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.
Starting point is 00:48:17 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.
Starting point is 00:48:37 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.
Starting point is 00:49:08 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.
Starting point is 00:49:24 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
Starting point is 00:49:39 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.
Starting point is 00:50:01 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.
Starting point is 00:50:12 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.
Starting point is 00:50:21 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.
Starting point is 00:50:35 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.
Starting point is 00:50:51 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,
Starting point is 00:51:00 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.
Starting point is 00:51:14 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,
Starting point is 00:51:24 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,
Starting point is 00:51:49 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,
Starting point is 00:51:58 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
Starting point is 00:52:14 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.
Starting point is 00:52:28 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
Starting point is 00:52:44 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
Starting point is 00:52:59 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.
Starting point is 00:53:18 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,
Starting point is 00:53:30 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
Starting point is 00:53:52 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
Starting point is 00:54:23 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.
Starting point is 00:54:41 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
Starting point is 00:55:08 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
Starting point is 00:55:23 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.
Starting point is 00:55:46 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,
Starting point is 00:56:04 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.
Starting point is 00:56:20 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
Starting point is 00:56:55 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.
Starting point is 00:57:39 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.
Starting point is 00:58:25 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,
Starting point is 00:58:42 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.
Starting point is 00:58:52 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.
Starting point is 00:59:08 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,
Starting point is 00:59:21 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.
Starting point is 00:59:39 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
Starting point is 00:59:53 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.
Starting point is 01:00:13 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
Starting point is 01:00:26 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?
Starting point is 01:00:42 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.
Starting point is 01:01:10 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?
Starting point is 01:01:18 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
Starting point is 01:01:35 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.
Starting point is 01:01:59 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.

Starting point is 01:02:34 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.
Starting point is 01:02:47 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,
Starting point is 01:03:02 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
