Starting point is 00:01:37 That's so funny to see An up and coming singer and then playing the most vocorded auto-tune thing ever. Yeah, that's okay. I know, but I wasn't singing there. Anyway, it was a fun time. I can't wait to go on YouTube and look for your isolated vocal, unfiltered. I'll put them out. Oh, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:01:59 People would love that. That would be so fun. Remember when... We'll get back to that in a second, but remember when Shia LaBeouf put something out where it was like him in front of a green screen being like, you could do this. Oh, yeah. He did that on purpose, right? He did a green screen to like add anything you want to it.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Meme baiting, yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, it was so good. That's fun. And that really motivated me. Those were solid. Yeah, those were all pretty solid.'s fun. And that really motivated me. Those were solid. Yeah, those were all pretty solid. I haven't seen them in a while.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Mimers, let's bring those back. Bring them back! Bring them back. Bring them back. Mm-hmm. And now back to the song. It's a great song. It's a hot track.
Starting point is 00:02:40 It's a hot summer. Summer is here. Summer has sprung. The hot music is rolling out. It's the summer of music. Yeah. And it's a lazy little limp along song that you sort of feel in the summer. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:53 I know I'm feeling it. I regret turning my AC off. Yeah, it's for the sort of the dog days. Yeah. Nobody's getting back to you. Everybody's letting you hang. Everyone's got their own thing going on. You fire up Something's
Starting point is 00:03:10 Wrong featuring Mike Hanford. Dutz. I should have picked a name. No, it's funnier. A moniker. Dutz featuring Mike Hanford. You're right. What were you guys, what was your collab like? Tell me a little about the rapport.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Well, Jeff wouldn't let me hold the pencil and he had the pad the whole time. No, that was a while ago. I think that was, we were messed around in the old apartment. Yeah, that was a good long while ago. Yeah. It used to be called Facebook Must Be Down.
Starting point is 00:03:43 And then we got away from facebook especially because like facebook was no longer prominent well facebook's a disgrace book at this point well they're the one who met a now election the all the russian stuff mind you zuckerberg was in the mix at one point i recall sure yes you cannot, you can't say that didn't have a direct correlation eventually to the predicament we're in now. Right. With this song coming out. With Biden. Biden in the January 6th.
Starting point is 00:04:20 In Hunter. Yeah. Hunter. Every year, January 6th rolls back around. Rolls right around. It's six days after New Year's. But Mike, you're sort of like the real singer on that one. You do the chorus, so you're like J-Lo, and I'm like Ja. You're Mace.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Oh, yeah, Ja. I thought you did a thing with Mace, too. Did Mace do something with another pop singer? Oh, as like an R&B collab? I thought he did. Mace kind of didn't have... He got out pretty quick. He and P. Diddy did some stuff, and then he became a religious man, I think.
Starting point is 00:04:55 A man of the cloth. But, Mikey, you did a lot of that singing in my closet. That's right. How about that? That's right. We put the microphone in there, and, well, people don't want to hear about this, but we had a microphone and some foam up. Yeah. You were surrounded by all my favorite clothes. that's right we put the microphone in there and uh well people don't want to hear about this but we had a microphone and some foam up yeah you were surrounded by all my favorite clothes that's right while i was in there i was kind of putting some of them on and
Starting point is 00:05:12 i said my god this is what it's like i'm gonna wear this star wars shirt came out looking like me yeah take that shit off take that shit off. Take that shit off. You look ridiculous. Wait, what's Jeff's famed Star Wars? I can picture Jeff's X-Men shirt. I can picture Mitch's Empire Strikes Back shirt. That's for sure.
Starting point is 00:05:34 The gray one? Jeff's is probably the... His is probably... Yeah, Mitch's is the gray one. Jeff's is probably the yellow... Not Return of the Jedi. What is it, Jeff? I got a yellow Empire shirt. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Yeah. Empire. Don't you have a Greedo shot first shirt too? Yeah. I have a Han shot second. Hey, it's not just me. Mitch also has probably 10 Star Wars shirts. The franchise that he doesn't like basically.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Sounds like he likes them quite a bit. You know what?'re you're you're winning his shirt to me jeff is your tie-dyed modelo shirt oh yeah that's a that's a banger of a shirt i take good care of that shirt that hey listen to this modelo this past month or like whatever the rankings are is the number one selling beer right now in the u.s i heard it beat bud light that's crazy bud light because Bud Light. Because Bud Light, you know, whatever, they put a rainbow in the can and they had a trans person in an ad and everyone lost their shit
Starting point is 00:06:31 and boycotted. And then I think Bud Light went the other way too and said, oh no, then we won't do that. And then they lost the other people. Yeah, that's like the Bud Light and Target and companies like that that have been backpedaled.
Starting point is 00:06:47 It's a mess. It's a messy month, folks. Yeah. Not for Modelo. Not for Modelo. We don't want to get political. That was an on-mic burp. Yep.
Starting point is 00:06:58 You don't get a lot of those. Folks, you don't hear a smartless doing that, do you? No, no. No, you don't hear the office ladies burping on the mic. It's amazing. Modelo is... Sorry, I was just going to... It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:07:16 It's well said and well trotted territory, but that somebody sees a rainbow on their Bud Light can and is like, I can't drink this anymore is amazing to me. Yeah. Like, the brand loyalty and, like, how steadfast you are in your ways that you can't be like, yeah, whatever. Yeah. Well, they literally think that that means Bud wants to, like, molest children. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:41 And, like, indoctrinate children into being gay or trans or whatever. They've been tricked by devious uh spin doctors i also love this funny thing about like being anti-woke in the way they use the word like woke is sort of a clever term when it first came up and it's like get woke so it started as like an underground thing like you're one of the people who is woke so it's so funny that then it kind of becomes the mainstream so then there's people that don't that are you hear the word only now from people who are anti now for years um it's so funny how that shit will happen where it's like i was here's one that drove me fucking crazy i i saw a tweet a while ago where someone was like anti cancel culture. And it was saying like no human being should be canceled. And it was talking about how harsh that is. And it was like,
Starting point is 00:08:34 yeah, the first person that said cancel, like that was someone was being funny. Like, you know, like 10 years ago, we started having people like lose their careers because of being bad people. And probably Paul F. Tompkins or some funny person was like, that guy's canceled as if it's a TV show and it's canceled. And, and then we were all being funny, like seriously cancel people. But like the word was a funny word. So then it's so funny to be like a decade later and people be like, you shouldn't cancel a human. And you're like, I know it's not. They didn't get this. They didn't get canceled.
Starting point is 00:09:09 We're we're being smart, unfortunately. Yeah. Maybe maybe this pod is where we talk about cancel culture and woke stuff. What do you think of that? I kind of like it. Hanford seems not to have much to say about it. Hanford. Hanford has frozen in a zoom screen with a devious little grin he looks like he looks like a little stinker okay hold on let's get him back and we're back you were saying back but yeah it is funny that
Starting point is 00:09:39 like uh woke is kind of like the word emo uh-huh no-applies. It's like nobody self-applies or it is sort of like embraced retroactively. Yeah. Knowing that it's a prickly term. It feels like a term when like a conservative politician says it and he's like, oh, you know, the woke crowd,
Starting point is 00:09:58 it sounds like a parent saying a slang word you used to use like two years ago. Yes. Yeah, it's like the old Taco Bell CEO saying they're on clique. Oh, yes. That's the best. Taco Bell is now going to be completely on clique. Perfect, perfect, the best.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Isn't that like, what is that account? Brand saying bae or something like that? Oh, I don't know. Yucca. All of these corporate accounts. Well, now it's like so normal for the Wendy's girl on Twitter to be like, wreck me, daddy. It's like normal brand behavior now.
Starting point is 00:10:40 How about recommend me a size for a Frosty? How big are they? We recommend large cool lingo um the one that grossed me out the most is there's one on instagram it's like it's not booking.com but let's say it's booking.com and it'll be it's like looks like a notes app post nonsense that's an eye eye catching thing to do, but for no reason, it's just a notes app post. And it says overheard at brunch. Oh, I spent this much on my, on my flight. Well,
Starting point is 00:11:13 you could have saved this much if you use booking.com. And it was like, they're trying to appeal to millennials. So they said overheard at brunch. And then it's like one millennial being a dick to another millennial, like people at brunch talking about their flights and it's all written in notes it was like you guys are just mashing together as much as you can i love when i see an ad i can't think of a good one at the moment but like when i see an ad uh like a uh like a billboard ad that you just like don't understand they they try to do such a a move and you're like i don't i don't know what the product is or what
Starting point is 00:11:44 your take on it is. Yeah, yeah. I assume you like it. You blew it. Because I want to get out there. I want to buy. Yeah. I mean, we have the gonorrhea alert billboards out here.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Those are kind of fun. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Sunset Junction always has like an STI billboard. Did I just see one someone posted with like, it was like an iceberg? Yeah. Yeah, I didn't understand that. And it's like, it says in big like emergency letters, gonorrhea alert. And it's like,
Starting point is 00:12:12 it circles the tip of the iceberg. It's so, it looks like a political cartoon where you're like, what am I supposed to glean from this billboard? Like the ship is hitting the top of the iceberg, but there's much more underneath. But there's much more don't you know? Stay out of the water, but there's much more underneath. But there's much more, don't you know? Stay out of the water, I guess. Alright. Is that it for Shit Chat?
Starting point is 00:12:30 It should be. Do you feel caught up with your boys? Yes. Yes, yes, but that leads me to want to talk about something called... Bibbibbip. A bibbibob. Bibbibbibbob. It's Booze News. Hit it.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Digital techno. Digital techno. Digital techno. Zeroes and ones, zeros and ones. Digital techno. techno zero zero zero sounds like Muppets digital techno was sent to us by Paul Burgess and if you have a booze news theme email it to
Starting point is 00:13:17 the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com especially that last one where the unison is bad yeah and then you put all of us together. And then the way how software is saying it, dude, is like, that nice country music, like bluegrass music in the back. We had solicited that.
Starting point is 00:13:40 We said it would be great if we had a song that was called Digital Techno, but it was analog acoustic instruments. Paul Burgess is on fucking fire this summer. The summer is heating up with Burgess. Wait, does he have other ones? He did the string rendition of Gardens of Gomorrah. It made me cry. Same thing, too.
Starting point is 00:14:00 His melodies are most beautiful. Yeah. He must be doing this. He must be tracking this live. Yeah. He must be doing this. He must be tracking this live. Yeah, he must be tracking this. Burgess, you're a pro. He's a pro. Burgess, you're a natural.
Starting point is 00:14:12 You're a stringed pro, my man. Here's how much I like Paul Burgess. I used to call him Paul Burgess. And then I asked him, is that a hard G? And he said, yes. Now I call him Paul Burgess. J and G. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:27 I didn't know if it was J, G, or J. Burgess? Burgess? Well, I know what hard G he is. He's great. He's great at making those things. He's great. Thanks, PG.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Thanks, PG. And that theme really gets me excited to hear about the latest happenings in the world of booze wild jeff yeah it's wait we just called him pg but it's great pb pb yeah but that's confusing with peanut butter yep yep well he is silky smooth, but he's a little nuts. He's nuts for Dutz, I'll tell you that much. Can I get to the booze news? Please. As everybody knows, as summer has sprung and summer is hot, hot, hot,
Starting point is 00:15:23 and the sloppy voice tracks are rolling out, Dutz tracks are rolling out, temperature is heated up. It's hot right now. Mike's grumpy because his AC is off while we're podcasting. I'm trying to hold it together. And I don't even think you can hear the AC when I do it. I don't know. You can. You can. You so very can. Tim, continue. The listener can't.
Starting point is 00:15:39 It's because I have to take it out. Oh, shit. Okay. That's a lot of work on your end. You're able to. Do you go frame by frame? No. Do you rerecord? You re-dub Hanford? Yeah. Hi, everybody.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Hey, everyone. That reminded me of a funny thing that I'll tell you guys off pod. No. Oh, no. I'll tell tell it i'll tell it on pod and uh i bleep all the names okay i'll bleep every noun all every proper noun mike i recently met and we were talking about you and he said how funny you were and then we were talking about how distinct your comedic voice was and then we were talking about he was talking about how you guys wrote for
Starting point is 00:16:27 together and then he said he said that there was a sketch where like was reading one of your sketches and was like kind of had to almost do a Hanford impression because it was like a Hanford character and then I think said that after the fact that you
Starting point is 00:16:43 liked the sketch and you wanted to take it back. It got such a big laugh. I was like, I can do this. It's true. I mean, I've done that. I've certainly done that. I was like, I should save this for the Mike Hanford show that ever gets made. I did that
Starting point is 00:17:02 with the Birthday Boys golf sketch. No, no golf sketch. Oh, helpful tips. Helpful tips. I wrote that for Reggie Watts on Comedy Bang Bang and I said,
Starting point is 00:17:13 that's going in the back pocket for teeny. I see. That's a good one. Okay, let's get back on track. I was talking about all that summary stuff because I was saying the most important
Starting point is 00:17:26 thing to do on a sloppy boy summer is to track the drink of the summer and uh there's one that is has been rumored and it's been brewing you know we we just we've already been diving into a couple the piccoltini and the uh yeah What did we do before that? A couple contenders. I mean, the Lavender Haze, that's got to be... Lavender Haze, sure. Part of the discussion. Ooh, that was good. Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Starting point is 00:17:51 That was good. Listen to these headlines, folks, from Better Homes and Gardens. The Hugo Spritz is poised to become the drink of the summer here's why delish.com move over apparel there's a new spritz in town the hugo spritz is the drink in 2023 yahoo news tiktok is saying the hugo spritz will be the cocktail of summer 2023 so t-man looked into it i've not seen this on any menus i have not heard or had but um it's basically an aperol spritz you know this whole conversation of drink of the summer is
Starting point is 00:18:33 because of aperol spritzes in like 2017 um and i think the media loves to like be like we're not guaranteed to get one over here i was just gonna say they're like this was never a thing before like no so a lot of these predictions are just full of shit because it's like some writer We're not guaranteed to get one over here. I was just going to say, this was never a thing before. No, so a lot of these predictions are just full of shit because it's like some writer who's probably using AI anyway is just assigned to do a drink of the summer thing, and they're writing it in February, and they're like, whatever. It's just people trying to come up with content and fill time. Tim, go ahead. Take your time.
Starting point is 00:19:03 I'm not content until I make content and you don't hold on you don't know it was done by ai that's all we're getting a little uh no grim here i said that though because um there was recently an article about the birthday boys uh our sketch group and we were passing around it's very nice somebody wrote that we were like the best sketch tv show of the oh yeah. Movie web. Movie web. And then I was like, oh, this writer likes us. That's nice. And I clicked on the lady that wrote the article and she had published like 400 articles this year.
Starting point is 00:19:35 So I'm like, there's definitely an assist coming from AI. There's also people have sent me. I don't know if you guys have this too, but there's a very funny article about me on one of those generic like celebrities.com websites that's like tim kalpakis is an american comedy writer when he's not working on comedy bang bang and digman he enjoys spending time with his family he's five foot seven yeah those are those websites that are like estimated net worth 5.5 million well this was my my my sophie's choice was it said that i'm worth 17 million dollars but it said that i'm five foot seven so i don't know i should i want to come out and clarify that i'm six feet tall but i don't want to show my actual net worth i want to leave leave that at $17 million. I'd say
Starting point is 00:20:26 let it ride. I guess I'd rather be rich than tall, right? Some people who are tall are rich, LeBron. Donald Trump. And if you're really rich, you can buy yourself some height. Big shoes.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Can I please for once tell you guys what the Hugo Spritz is? I know, I'm dying to know. Can I guess? It's from Hugo Weaving. Villain in the Matrix films. I want to bring your little neck. Is it not? No.
Starting point is 00:20:58 It's the only Hugo I know. It's from like the Hugo Hotel in Italy. It's basically it's from like the hugo hotel in italy um it's basically it's an aperol you know there's all different spritzes now these days uh but uh it's it's like an aperol spritz but instead of aperol saint germain elderflower liqueur which we have because we did a drink with it and um i would so this is like it's less bitter than than because a lot of spritzes have uh bitters this one is supposed to be a little more sweet and bright but other other than that it's it's the prosecco and the and the fucking uh club soda okay so you're gonna have a little bubble in
Starting point is 00:21:43 there a little bubble will do you right this summer. It's the Hugo Spritz. Is that what Spritz means? Bubbly? Hey, with an Aperol Spritz, is there lemon in there or nah? Nah. Orange slice. Oh, right, right, right. Because my thing now is more spaghetti over
Starting point is 00:21:59 Aperol Spritz. I agree. And you're going to put a lemon in that. Put some lemon juice in there. And it's boozier. Have we done Aperol Spritz. I agree. And you're going to put a lemon in that. Put some lemon juice in there. And it's boozier. Have we done Aperol Spritz on this show? Yes. Aperol Shits, yeah. Yes, right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Aperol Shits. Yeah, right. We had a little thriller in... What's his cohort? Dr. Benedicto. Dr. Benedicto had Aperol Spritz. Yeah. Thank God we haven't heard or all spritz. Yeah. Thank God we haven't heard from them in a while.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Yeah. Oh, they suck. Or anyone like that. I think, uh, from what I heard through the grapevine is, um,
Starting point is 00:22:32 putting those songs is, uh, together for them is difficult. They take a little more time than they're willing to, uh, give up. Sure. But that's what you just go back and listen to the apparel sprints episode.
Starting point is 00:22:45 If you want to hear their handiwork, it takes more time than coming up with like a quiz. If they were to do that sort or if they were to come up with, if they were to do that. Yes. If they were to do that. Okay. That's great,
Starting point is 00:22:58 Tim. I'm glad you had that news for us. Maybe we'll do it next week or in the weeks to follow. That's that would be rather interesting to me. I do like doing this, keeping going with these summery drinks in the summertime. I have a bit of booze news here. This actually should be a Mike eats his way through New York, Tim edition, Mike edition. So it's CalPK makes his way through the Midwest today.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Featuring Mike Hanford. Featuring Mike Hanford in New York. But anyway, I was at the restaurant Olmsted. I'm sure you've heard of it. Well, we've talked about Frederick. That's right. But it's a fancy restaurant. It's by a guy who has a couple fancy restaurants.
Starting point is 00:23:46 And I was walking by a couple Sundays ago, this past Sunday. And it's like 5 in the afternoon, 6 o'clock maybe. Let's say 7 because the sun started going down. And I see there's a little opening at the bar. I said, I'll try a little martini here, see what they got. So I slid in. The guy, the bartender, I believe his name was Jack. English fellow.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Very nice guy. I said, you know what? Make me, what's a good drink? I've been drinking whiskey lately. What's not a whiskey drink? Just make me, what's something exciting? Dealer's choice. I bet he goes gin.
Starting point is 00:24:24 I bet he goes gin. I bet he goes gin. Tim, you are right. He went gin, and he made something called a ramp. Now, you know ramps, the, like... The vegetable? The root vegetable? Yeah, they're like garlic kind of? Yeah, it's like an onion.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Yeah, it's a little stronger onion flavor. They're wild. Yeah. It's like a little tiny bulb, but it's on the end of these... I think, actually, in, like, Mario Bros Brothers 2, they could be throwing ramps around. Oh, my God. Who knows? So he made it up for me.
Starting point is 00:24:54 And it was basically a, he described it as a Gibson. So it's gin, dry vermouth, and ramp brine. Ramp brine. Yeah. Right, because a Gibson would have the little pearl onion. Yeah. Yeah, cocktail onion. Brilliant.
Starting point is 00:25:09 And so he makes it up for me. It's very cold. I'm excited about it. Skewered into it are two ramps like you would olives. And I said, oh, those aren't too appetizing looking. All right. So I take a sip, and I said to myself, I do not like this drink. I do not like it.
Starting point is 00:25:28 And he leaves. I'm sipping a little more, kind of seeing if I warm up to it. He walks back and he goes, how do you like the drink? And I said, Jack, I don't. I said, I'm sorry to say. And I feel like you can do that at like a cocktail bar where they're like doing like they're trying to do good stuff yeah he took a big swing you said give me anything on earth that's not whiskey and he gave you an onion
Starting point is 00:25:54 drink does it seem like a drink I would have loved was a stanky it was stanky but I just like the gin it was too much onion like an onion drink wasn't for me. And he said, he said, oh, I can make you something else. I said, no, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:09 I already did this. I'll drink it. I'm drinking it some more. He comes back. He's like, let me just make you something else. Because you can see I wasn't like downing this thing. So I said, you know what, just make me a gin, a dirty gin martini. He did, and it was excellent. Great. So I think the lesson here, for me anyway, was –
Starting point is 00:26:26 Stick to what you know. Be afraid. No, it was when you go to a nice place and you're spending a big – this was probably like an $18, $20 drink. I think it's okay to be like, ah, this isn't exactly what I want. If it's a cheap bar, I'm like, eh, whatever. They put way too much something in this drink. I think that also you were having a conversation with the guy
Starting point is 00:26:46 and you're having a shared experience and he wants you to be happy. If you were just like barking out your order at a busy bar and then sent it back, that's different. And it's another thing when you have a weird thing and then you don't end up liking it. Right. You're like, make me this and put this in it. And then you're like, I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Well, don't fucking waste my time. I mean, this place was really, he was really busy. He was fucking miserable. I'm kidding, he was fine. You're like, I've had too much whiskey. Whiskey.
Starting point is 00:27:13 He's trying to give you a fun taste and it's good to give your honest feedback and be like, hey man, not for me. That's cool. Hey, this drink sucks shit and you're an asshole. You know,
Starting point is 00:27:22 it really did take some like, some like building it up for when he came back to be like, I actually don't like this. And I'm okay to say that. And that's okay. It's time I say I don't like this. So then he brought me the martini. I drank half of that. I was like, I don't like this one either.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Make me a whiskey sour. I drank half of that. I was like, I don't like this either. Can you you believe it i don't like the final sip of any drink yeah um remember on this very pod recently we were talking about what's in a skinny margarita and i said i think that they have soda and jeff you're like no it's just that it's light on the sugar and and it was a vicious argument i recently went to casita del campo ordered a skinny marg it was just tequila and lime juice i love that restaurant fun place to go to but this was undrinkably sour and i didn't have the nerve to send it back i just choked down you know it's weird you're drinking lime juice it's so sour in your mouth and it gets to your stomach and you're
Starting point is 00:28:24 like oh it's still sour down there i just don't feel it anymore because it's within the stomach there's no nerve endings inside your stomach you see we don't have taste buds down there yeah god imagine if we had taste buds at the very end of the trail at the very end of the trail. At the very end of the trail. Yow! Yow! No, thank you. I'd be a water diet only, please. You can't turn off taste buds, huh?
Starting point is 00:28:54 You have something in your mouth, you're going to taste it. You can't just not. That's right. It's not like eyelids that you close up your sight sense. That's true. Hey, did you ever do that flavor tripping thing? Mike, you and I did it once. What was that again?
Starting point is 00:29:06 There's a berry in nature. And then you can buy pills that have this berry in it. And it changes your taste buds. You've probably heard of this. So it's like people have these parties. And it's like you eat these berries or these pills. And then you try different foods and they just taste different. Like a lemon will taste really sweet. Like you can just eat a lemon. Yeah. Cheese will taste really sweet. Like you can just eat a lemon or cheese will taste really different.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Oh, yeah. That's interesting. It just remaps like the coordinates of your tongue. So you kind of experience new tastes. That's weird. I like that. Sounds like an episode of the Sloppy Boys blowout on Patreon. Sure does.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Ooh, interesting. A cheese that tastes like lemon? Folks, do you want to listen to us talk about that? That will be good, but we can't eat on the mic. No, we'll eat on the mic. No, they hate it. Really? Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:57 All right, is that it for Booze News? Wrap it up. Well, well, today we are talking about a drink. Very summery sounding. Very summery flavored. It's a drink called the Rum Runner. I like that name. What do you think?
Starting point is 00:30:16 The name? It's fine. Have you had or heard? I've heard. I've heard of it for a long time. A long, long time a long long time the rum runner Tonga Hut I might have actually had one
Starting point is 00:30:33 I might have actually had one I share the sentiment where I've never had but I've not just heard I feel like when I was a kid you're like oh I'll be drinking bahama mamas and rum runners all the time and rum runners i feel like i don't actually see it on a lot of menus but it feels like this classic like yeah like jimmy buffett like in like 92 or something
Starting point is 00:30:57 yeah but i i love the name it's a very appealing name and when i look at pictures of the drink i'm like why haven't i had that it's i'm disappointed in adulthood that hasn't delivered these to me oh well today's your lucky day here today we were doing the rum runner let me tell you a little about the history uh so this in the 50s there was a bar a tiki bar called the holiday aisle tiki bar in let me see if i can pronounce this isla isla mud jeff edit this isla marota in the florida keys oh isla isla marota okay that makes more sense and god damn i lost my all my fucking tabs i was with Where I was with this. No! Yeah, I just opened it up, and now I can't find the fucking guy's name. Hold on. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:50 John Elber. He was the bartender at this Holiday Isle Tiki Bar. And what happened was, he had way too much rum for some reason, and he had to, like, use all his rum before the next inventory came in. Tale as old as time. Just so he didn't... Which is also, like, why can't you just have a lot of rum anyway so he made this
Starting point is 00:32:09 drink that is like two types of rum and he uh whipped it up and called it the rum runner named after the prohibition era of people in boats people in boats rum running from the caribbean interesting yeah because i always think of like bootleggers as like guys in cars and like loading them in the trunks and yeah yeah and when you say rum runner i picture like pirate era yeah yeah more so than like prohibitions guys rum runners rum smugglers this is the sloppy boys movie we're on like speed boats and jet skis and we're the rum runners right on the way on the way to steal the recipe from the carthusian monks for chartreuse the ultimate rum run is to get chartreuse from now yes yes
Starting point is 00:32:58 from that spot so this this always conjures up the – well, we'll talk about that in a second. Let me tell you what the recipe is here. Please. And the recipe varies. It's one of these drinks where it's like you can make it this way or many different variations on it. So this is the one we're taking from Liquor.com. One ounce light rum. Great.
Starting point is 00:33:22 One ounce navy strength rum. Oh, boy. Which other recipes just say dark rum. Great. One ounce navy strength rum. Oh boy. Which other recipes just say dark rum. One ounce banana liqueur, which I've never had before. Half ounce blackberry liqueur,
Starting point is 00:33:35 such as your creme de mor or your creme de cassis. Or your, what's the one you like, Jeff? Chambord. Chambord. But creme de mor, it was the bramble ramble one. That's fun. That's right. Two ounces joie de pinaplé.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Pineapple. That's two ounces of that. One ounce joie de lime, freshly squeezed. Lime. Go ahead. Half ounce grenadine, garnished with a brandied cherry, skewered into a pineapple wedge. Wow. If you're like, I only have the cherry.
Starting point is 00:34:10 I didn't get a pineapple. So this is going to be a big, fun summer drink. We're going to look cool. Put it in a hurricane glass, if you can. Oh, yeah. So the steps are add the light rum, navy strength rum, banana liqueur, blackberry liqueur, pineapple juice, lime juice, and grenadine into a shaker with ice and shake until well chilled. Couldn't they have just said all the liquids?
Starting point is 00:34:31 Strain into a hurricane glass filled with crushed ice. That's interesting. Garnish with a skewered brandy cherry and pineapple wedge. Now, this sounds great. I can't wait to drink this. The pictures of it, yes, Tim, they do look divine. This term Rum Runner, and maybe this is because there was a movie called The Rum Diaries, which is about Hunter S. Thompson, or was it by Hunter S. Thompson?
Starting point is 00:34:55 It reminds me of a guy like Hunter S. Thompson in the 60s, like scooting around in a speedboat running rum somewhere. This is going to be me on my sailboat uh in july running rum somewhere but it's like that type of type of guy like a guy like i gotta get out of here get the barrels or like throw them out as he's as he's leaving the dock you throw them to him get me out of here yeah that's fun i wish i had a whole barrel that would be a good uh way to spend a summer you get a barrel of rum at the beginning it's's got four X's on it, you know, and you're like, I'm going to drink this over the course of the summer.
Starting point is 00:35:29 And then Labor Day comes, bone dry. And you're like, hey, maybe I'll make some friends along the way to help me drink it. Yeah. Want to come over to my house? I have half a barrel of rum left. Help me work on this barrel. Donk, donk.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Labor Day comes, right as you get your last scuff on your white shoes, you look at that big barrel, empty. Let's go to the barbecue. Throw the barrel and these shoes into the ocean. Now, I have overproof rum that's like 120-something proof that looks very much like something a Navy guy would drink, but it's still white rum and it's, it's not dark rum. Should I be?
Starting point is 00:36:06 It's the one I have. It's Ray and nephew, right? Like with a Ray with a W. Yeah. Yeah. I have that stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:13 That's, I think it's, I think it's up to you because, because like, like I said, some of the, um, the other recipes were like dark rum.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Some were just like orange juice, rum and lime juice. Rum runner recipes are all over. This is like very much an unofficial drink. Not on the IBA, by the way. But I looked up Navy Strength rum, and that is like a certain distinction that's like higher proof. But the stuff that we have, the Ray and Nephew,
Starting point is 00:36:38 is even higher proof than that. Jeez. Normally, I would go with that, but I prefer the taste of dark. So if Mike's saying I can go Myers, I think I might just do that. I did see Myers specifically in one of the recipes. And the main one we're going from is liquor.com, right? And it just said Navy strength.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Okay. Well, I'm going to make a game time decision. And we, I mean, we could talk about banana liqueurs, but maybe we do that while we're sipping, huh? Yeah. Why don't we do that after the break? Now we're back. What a fiasco.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Yeah, J-Man, you took a long time. What was going on? I had to juice limes. You have a dark black iced coffee looking drink. I got a dark looking thing too. They're all sort of brown. Did you guys use roses grenadine or did you use
Starting point is 00:37:35 like fancy grenadine? Roses. I used Luxardo goo. Oh, that's why Jeff's is dark. I finished off my roses, and I was like, that's something you never see, finishing the end of the roses. This is grenadine? God damn. Can I tell you what I did for my rum?
Starting point is 00:37:53 Uh-oh. Okay. Of course I used an ounce of Bacardi White. That much is certain. Well, it's your favorite liquor brand logo, as we learned on the Patreon last week. The bat. But for my second rum, I was looking at my Myers, right?
Starting point is 00:38:10 And then my eyes would creep over to the Ray and Nephew and then back to the Myers. And I said, you know what? Half an ounce in each. Smart. Wow. Wow. When you go in Tiki, you just mix up the rums, a bunch of rums. Who gives a fuck?
Starting point is 00:38:24 Three rums, best of both worlds. I did that Smith and Cross, which is a Navy strength I just read. No shit. Yeah. Oh, fuck. You know what? I forgot to crush the ice. I just put ice cubes.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Yeah. Michael. I know. I have a bag of crushed ice in my fridge. What a luxury. This is luxurious. Well, do we sip? Let's sip.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Yes. Sips. Mmm. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, it's got all the makings of a sweet boy, sloppy boy's winner. But it's got that tiki thing. Multiple rums and lime makes you feel like you're at a tiki bar. It's like that's that taste.
Starting point is 00:39:13 You know what's fun? Isn't it like nutmeg a lot of the times in tiki drinks? Yeah, down the beachcomber and stuff. I always feel like that's the thing I'm like tasting, but we obviously don't have it in here, and I feel like I'm tasting that here. So I think it's just mixing rums gives you that taste anyway. Dark rums especially, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Why is it any two rums on earth gives you this taste? I mean, this tastes like my tiki palate isn't so tuned like you guys, but this just tastes like every other tiki drink I get. Look, I'm a tiki freaky, and I agree. Half the time I'm sipping and just being like, yep, that's tiki drink i get look i'm a tiki freaky and and i agree half the time i'm sipping and just being like yep that's tiki yeah oh this is good um one time i was sitting at uh the tiki tea next to some guy guy who's like maybe like 10 15 years older than me and and was like really talking a lot like i used to come here back in college love this place but i haven't been here in a long time but i love
Starting point is 00:40:08 this place i i love all these drinks oh this is so good and then he was making such a big show some some like newbie was like hey what do you what should i get what would you recommend and he goes it's all just rum and fruit punch i, that's why some of these recipes are just like a rum and some juices and you're fine. You start with a rum and lime and then you do one thing weird. I gotta say, I took a sip of that
Starting point is 00:40:35 banana liqueur. I was gonna say liquor, but then I switched to the last thing to say liqueur. That's good. What brand? What'd you go for allen's huh you know allen's because i usually i usually get uh what is it i usually get lloyds i think it's called or lloyd you got all sorts of weird brands out there all we had is uh we got the giffords the uh creme de banana well and. And then. There's fancy ones.
Starting point is 00:41:06 I'm looking at. I Googled like Fugit. Wait. Did the recipe said Giffard, right? Yeah. Yeah. But Jeff, what are we drinking? Hiram Walker?
Starting point is 00:41:17 Yeah. Oh, I remember 99 bananas from high school. Yeah. I didn't know that was a liqueur. I thought that was like a banana flavored. Right. Because it's 99 proof is it wow why would you have a high proof thing that tastes like bananas that's so nasty oh it is i remember in high school i remember the drinking this straight from the bottle to the point where it started to taste good and it didn't even burn anymore to the dome to the dome this guy's going dome but i've had some really good banana cocktails
Starting point is 00:41:47 recently you know uh pinkies has a banana old-fashioned uh in most fields that's good in it oh yeah i feel like i have that low boy in uh echo park i forget what it was called but i ordered this i wish there were more drinks like this where it was like a banana drink and i thought i was going to get some big milkshakey thing but. But it was like a stiff little Manhattan, like a dark brown drink in a cocktail glass, really stiff and not sweet at all, but made with some fancy French banana liqueur and I loved it. I'm very curious what this banana liqueur has in store for my mixing and matching in the future. Yeah. Who knows? store for my mixing and matching in the future yeah who knows our our hyrum walker tastes like i mean all that hyrum walker is basically some sort of alcohol with sweetener and artificial
Starting point is 00:42:34 flavoring in it right that can't be like that can't actually be derived they're not matching up naners and squeezed bananas mike i would say use that like triple sec or you know any sour right you do two ounces of any liquor one ounce of any citrus and one ounce of this and something sweet if your sweet thing has been in the liqueur that'll be fun for you oh that'll be very fun
Starting point is 00:42:58 for me yeah you just make it up to some I feel like I'm a monkey. I feel like this is a good Donkey Kong drink. Stop! Oh, yeah. The barrel is the rum. The banana is the banana, obviously.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Is that what that video game was all about? Him making... Rum. He was trying to serve them to Mario? Yep. Oh, Mario! And Luigi, unseen. Luigi was always just off-screen in that game.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Saying, go, get one of those rings for me too, brother! Hey, was I yapping my trap about this on, pod, or off, where I haven't read and I refuse to Google, but I've heard this thing about banana flavor. Have we talked about this? Yeah. But go on that. It's fake. Well, that it's based on an extinct banana.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Yeah. This flavor we're getting from this banana liqueur. Or if you eat runts and you pick out the big yellow banana, you bite you're like that doesn't taste like the bananas that we eat and i always assumed it was just bad flavoring but no people say that when flavorists in the 1950s the original era when they're coming up with like red 40 and all our forefathers the banana flavor they came up with was based on a previous species of banana that no longer exists and that bananas used to taste like this liqueur and they don't anymore but we still use the liqueur interesting one of these days i'm gonna google it it's the it's the flavor
Starting point is 00:44:39 that kind of you know the runts candy that's what what he said. Oh, I was looking up Grimace. You were looking up Grimace? Yeah. Because you know how the Toad is 32? We were talking about Mario at one point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Toad is 32. You know Grimace just had a birthday that was like a big burn-eddy thing?
Starting point is 00:45:03 I thought he was 32, but I just looked it up. Grimace is 52. 52. And I looked it up. Grimace is 52. He's 32. And I didn't know Grimace is a taste bud. That's what Grimace is? That's his species? I think so. That's fucking awesome. Let me just
Starting point is 00:45:18 check this. Let me double cross this. What is... Oh, the Grimace shake is probably the thing they're doing. What is Grimace? What is Grimace shake is probably the thing they're doing what is Grimace what is Grimace he used to be a monster they used to treat him like a monster and they turned good mhm
Starting point is 00:45:33 a manager of McDonald's Canada revealed the answer to the Golden Arch's biggest mystery telling CBC News that Grimace is an enormous taste bud but a taste bud nonetheless what the fuck is that CBC News that Grimace is an enormous taste bud, but a taste bud nonetheless. What the fuck does that mean? Say no more.
Starting point is 00:45:51 He's an enormous taste bud, but a taste bud nonetheless. Okay. That's so funny. Nonetheless. He's a fucking taste bud? He's purple? I bet they tried pink and they were like,
Starting point is 00:46:04 this guy looks weird 52 so says the net reminds me of a certain number of cards a certain one a certain one of those oh this drink is good this drink is fucking great a bunch of a bunch of juices and a bunch of rums. You're going to have fun. You guys listen to this. I just got a text live on the pod and you can help me respond to this. Remember how I have a bit of a reputation as being a very good Airbnb guest. I've talked about my, I think I bragged on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Mike, my praises have been sung all over. This is an unreliable narrator situation. I think so. Like, well, Tim was insane while he was saying this. He's a bit of a Holden Caulfield at the moment. I was just going to say Holden Caulfield Jr. Go ahead. All the way up and down upstate New York.
Starting point is 00:47:01 I've stated all the Airbnbs, ransacked them all. But I had all kinds of good reviews. But remember on this very pod, I got into – I told you guys about my run-in with Liz. Yes. An Airbnb host. Over a dishwasher, among other things. She didn't like the way you – Yeah, she thought I broke the dishwasher and I was like, Liz, explain to me what you think I did.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Do you think I broke – Why would someone break a dishwasher? She's like, I don't know. It looks all bent up. I'm like, I put dishes in it. You're like, like, did she have a problem too with you moving chairs from room to room?
Starting point is 00:47:34 She was mad that what chair from the vinyl room had been moved into the TV room. She was mad. And then she had a legit, there was like one or two legit things like I, she said I put too much stuff in the washer and it shorted out, but shorted out. She was mad. And then she had a legit, there was like one or two legit things. Like I, I,
Starting point is 00:47:45 she said, I put too much stuff in the washer and it shorted out, but shorted out. You go in the other room, you flip the switch. I don't know. I fought, I talked her down from 350 bucks to 75 bucks.
Starting point is 00:47:55 I told her Liz, I said, you have a beautiful home. I'd like to stay there again. So she was like, okay, Mr. Galagas.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Anyway, I've got a little of a conundrum right now for my airbnb etiquette i'm going on a trip to to i'm going back home and i'm gonna stay on a sailboat docked in a marina that's cool it's not i'm not allowed to take it out nor do i remember how i got my certification three years ago and forgot. Tim was like, riding a bike, just start that engine. It'll all come flowing back to you. The wind engine. It's not the engine, my boy. It's the sailboat.
Starting point is 00:48:32 The whole reason it's hard is that there's no engine. If there was an engine, I'd be fucking joyriding. I'm doing a pontoon boat later this summer in Idaho, though. But back to what I was saying. Nice. later this summer in idaho though but back to what i was saying nice so i'm staying at the sailboat and um i um i put it down as one guest because i was like for this weekend it's just going to be me staying there but then i was like you know there's a second in the cabin there is two rooms so i could have family join you know my brother and sister live around there my parents around might have people stay with me but and you make friends so fast right but the the but the the guy this also this sounds like
Starting point is 00:49:12 a long setup to a parody song it's not this is this is a real this is a real text i just got a i you know how you request on airbnb and then you have to be approved by the host i put it in as one guest and then the guy wrote back and said hey Hey Tim, how many guests are going to be staying there? And now I'm one, I'm like, Ooh, do I build one in if I, well, I just want to, but he's going to charge me more. It's a hundred dollars per guest. So I'm like, let's say I'm just being nice. And my parents stay there one night. I'm not going to tell this guy about it, right? I should just say one guest. And do you think this guy's going to be watching me like a hawk and he's going to say, Donna and David Kalpakis arrived and then didn't leave till the next morning?
Starting point is 00:49:57 You know? Well, here's what you do. I want to keep my rating high. I want to be an upstanding citizen. Yeah. You say, answer me this. Are you going to be in a vessel right in the next slip? He'll know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:50:13 No, I think what you do, I don't know what you do, but Airbnb is like cracking down on stuff. I think they're even putting like decimal detectors in houses. Decimal detectors? What's decimal detectors if you bring it if it's if it's like a party oh decibel oh holy shit yeah decibel sorry i've had a little too many sips of my banana drink i also i'll and to clarify i've had too many sips of my banana drink too i really am intending probably to have my family stay there. Like, I already told my family, like, hey, guys, I'm getting this boat and it has a spare bedroom.
Starting point is 00:50:50 So, you know, it's open to you guys to stay. But now I'm just thinking, is this fucker going to be watching me? He did. Well, you could say this. You could say, I do have family in town and there was an option for one or two of them to stay over. Is that allowed? Will that be an extra charge? Let me know, because if so, I will not have them on.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Right. Right. But doesn't that sound conspicuous? Now he's going to make sure he watches me like a hawk? Perhaps. But you may just get the exact answer you want. Here's what I'm thinking of saying. I'm going to respond and just say blow it out your ass.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Nice. There you go. Tim, it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. The court of public opinion is behind you. Nobody likes Airbnb anymore. It's on its way out. Yeah. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Yeah, we're all verbo. We're all verboing. Everybody's verboing. Do the verbo. Everybody verbobo-ing. Do the Verbo. Everybody Verbo this summer. Okay, it's decided. I'm going to say one guest. I'm going to torch the boat, sink it, and then I'm going to do Verbo in the fall.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Man. Have you ever slept on a boat? No, I'm excited to. It's wonderful. My parents have a boat docked somewhere, and sometimes when I i'll when i visit them we just kind of hang out at the dock on the boat and i'll go into a little cubby hole and sleep on it oh yeah it's it just it or you know sometimes we'll go out into like the middle of the lake you know and uh it puts you rocks you right to sleep you find it calming not sickening right well
Starting point is 00:52:21 they're it's like lake so it's not like uh tidal waves really this is like a river it's a creek it's ronda creek just off of the hudson river and i'm thinking um that i sleep with white noise and lots of times lapping water is what i sleep with so i'm hoping that it'll be as if i've shrunk down and gone inside my phone where the white noise is that'll be nice oh that'll be funny. You'll have dreams. Do you guys do white noise? Less than an ant.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Less than. Well, here's what I've done before. I think I've mentioned this on pod. I'll go on YouTube and find creaky ship noise. Oh, yeah. Creaky pirate ship noise. You get the ropes going like. Rope tensing a little.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Yeah. And I think I said this last time, but i think there was one where you did hear like in the other room like accordion music and like i may have been just like imagining that um youtube has some really fun ones i've done like um like visual ones like um space bedroom and you're like sitting in a spaceship and you're seeing stars go by. And it's, that's cool. And there's lots of those. But what's weird is I mainly just listened to Spotify on my phone and lots
Starting point is 00:53:36 of the white noise on Spotify. The, the tracks are only 90 seconds long. So you get 90 seconds and then a silence in the next track. Yeah. And that does wait like silence. Sometimes does wake you up. Wow i found one counter there's one called like best white noise podcast hey good news guys i didn't even message the boat guy back and he just confirmed right my reservation so i'm not gonna his loss hope he's not a listener.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Oh, everybody's a listener these days. Now, Tim, when you're staying up there on a creek that's an offshoot of the Hudson River, are you going to, when you come down to New York, just sail down the Hudson? I think so. I'm going to cut it loose. This guy said I can't, but what's he going to do?
Starting point is 00:54:23 Oh, man, Jeff, you are going to get a fucking trashed voicemail from a voice memo on the next Booze News. Yeah, dude. Not even a FaceTime? No, no, I'm saying for like a booze, like, Hey, this is Mike and Tim. We're here in New York City. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:54:40 We haven't even left the apartment yet. It's crazy in here. These New York apartments are huge, man. We spilled everything. It's like, did you guys leave the apartment at all the whole weekend? No, we couldn't find the keys. Didn't need to. We had booze and we had all the streamers we could handle.
Starting point is 00:55:02 We burned our butts on the radiator. God, maybe they on the radiator. God, maybe they keep the radiator. Oh, my. See, Jeff, sorry. My AC is still on. I turned it on. You won't even notice. Yes, I will. Nobody. Well, you might, but no one listens that close.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Plus, they might like it. They might hear and go, ooh, I'm starting to feel a little chill. Yeah, they might like it. Yeah. I know some people ooh, I'm starting to feel a little chill. Yeah, they might like it. Yeah. I know some people, they listen really loud because they want to catch all the jokes. Hey. Don't worry about the jokes. Anybody use these?
Starting point is 00:55:36 Bamboo skewers? No, you know what I use, Jeff? One of the stirrers you took from that tiki restaurant. Superpower. Super power. Super power, yeah. I'll tell you what, I like these little bamboo guys, and you can get them in giant packs pretty cheap. But then I feel like sometimes I get a little bamboo splinter.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Yeah. You ever get that? They're like little fine hairs. But ooh. I don't spend too much time with those things in my mouth. No, but just, you know, you're eating a cherry off it. You're waving it around. Those things really came into fashion in the last, like, 15 years.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Yeah, but you get a little splinter in your neck or even deeper down. Oof. Think of the damage it could cause. Yeah, especially at the end of the trail. Oh. It has a totally safe journey, and then right on the way out, tweak, pew. Ow, I got to go to the doctor. Would you change anything about the drink?
Starting point is 00:56:34 Nope. Not a damn thing? No, I mean, it's weird, because in one sense, you could change everything about the drink. It'd be good in other ways, or change nothing. This is fantastic, but i don't even yeah i feel like looking around a little bit online like these rum runners are all over the place it's just a bunch of rum bunch of juice glug glug get drunk yeah i was gonna say maybe more more banana but i'm getting enough banana in this thing yeah i will i will say that's that's
Starting point is 00:56:59 the one thing from other tiki drinks that i've had that feels like a little different taste is the banana do you guys feel like you're getting blackberry at all no is the drink giving blackberry not really is it it's giving banana big time when i think hard i can maybe detect a little bitterness from the creme de more and that's about it yeah no you can't even detect it it's it's only the color that's making me think of the blackberry. I kind of even forgot it was in there. Wow. You just took a very pious sip. Wow.
Starting point is 00:57:31 This is great. I love it. Now, I do wish, though, that, like, the tiki drinks were a little more distinct. Because it's true. They all taste the same. They're all rum and lime and pineapple, whatever. But we have a cocktail podcast. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:49 And we should be able to look back and like, you know, we can say, oh, the Vieux Carre. Yeah, I remember that. What a drink. Oh, the Trinidad Sour. Yeah, that was a good one. How come with tiki drinks, there's just so, so many and they are so similar? It's too bad. I feel like tiki drinks are named first yeah it's named first and they're like uh rums yes and a lot of times there's just
Starting point is 00:58:12 an explainer where you're like what's the painkiller and you're like oh it's kind of like a pina colada you're like okay i'll have that and and i feel like yeah yeah right they it almost reminds me of led zeppelin songs where a lot of the time you read the track list of a Led Zeppelin album, and you're like, what song is that again? What song is that again? And you listen, and you're like, oh, yeah. I just thought about- You've got to name the song the chorus.
Starting point is 00:58:37 I just, yeah. I just thought of a great drink that I'm going to make, and we'll do it on the podcast. It's this creme de cassis that's really purpley. Vodka and Mountain Dew.
Starting point is 00:58:54 And it's called Grimace Piss. There you go. Because you're combining purple and yellow five. Yeah. Grimace Piss. This is great. Let's do it on the pod let's give me a grimace piss drink this summer could it be could we do a drink it could be grimace piss or anything else it should be possessive grimaces piss grimaces piss i like to think of it as like grimaces a
Starting point is 00:59:21 species out there oh okay it's grimace piss like it's sasquatch piss yeah right you know taste bud piss uh we should maybe do a drink sometime where we excuse me get the ingredients we think would go together and like play around with a little bit on the podcast and be like okay let's all put uh an ounce in of whatever try that and like oh this is too much of this let's put another ounce of something else in mike live test kitchen on the podcast and be like, okay, let's all put an ounce in of whatever. Try that. And like, ooh, this is too much of this. Let's put another ounce of something else in. Mike, live test kitchen on the pod? That would be cool. Oh, shit. I like the sound of that.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Is that a blowout? Maybe we should be Twitch streamers. That could be my fish oil experiment. Not fish oil. Fish eel sauce. Oh, right. Fish oil. Have you ever had fish oil like those little uh no the gel cap things i remember uh somebody suggested to me i was like i'll give it a try and i bought those things and i had it for like once a day for a week and i was like what am i doing this is so
Starting point is 01:00:19 gross they smell inside the gel cap they still managed to smell. Fish oil. Alright, I wouldn't change a damn thing, but I am going to maybe top up with a little something just to get a little more life out of this drink. I got quite a bit more left. Yeah. I didn't have a hurricane glass. I had one of these big beer Stein type things. Yeah, but it's got a nice sexy
Starting point is 01:00:42 curve to it. Yeah. Alright, folks. Let's got a nice sexy curve to it. Yeah. All right, folks. Let's take a little break. And when we come back, final thoughts. Ooh. And we're back. With our final thoughts on the Rum Runner. I love it.
Starting point is 01:01:07 It's a stone cold classic. It's an order again. This thing is fire. I'm going to say it is fire and it is a stone cold classic because we've heard about it for so long and it's delivered. Yeah, you know what?
Starting point is 01:01:20 I'll echo your sentiments, but I don't think it's fire. I think it's sleigh. But you stand. But I do stand. sentiments, but I don't think it's fire. I think it's slay. Oh. But you stan. But I do stan. Don't you feel like it? I do stan. Stan in the place where you drink.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Okay, but seriously, folks. We put up rules and walls around what is tiki, what is in. Is it Don the Beachcomber? Is it Trader Vic or whatever? Here's a rando drink from, what'd you say, Mike? Isla Miradaada 1950s florida it's just as good as anything i've had at the most elite tiki bar with 24 drinks this is fucking great but slop heads the takeaway is don't even make rum runners just do multiple rums lime and anything else
Starting point is 01:02:00 and that's how you have fun just get your favorite flavor and find the liqueur for it and you're all and and this was you know this is a distracting drink because you're like oh there's pineapple and stuff like that but really we're talking about banana was the active ingredient here if we're talking like multiple rums lime and something the something here was banana not the not the creme de more of Ramble Ramble fame. The Banana was the host, and everyone else was the guest. The name of the guy
Starting point is 01:02:31 was John Elber. I like to think that Phil Hartman was the glue. Don't you think that Phil Hartman was the glue? The glue of that era of SNL, yes. Right. I just want to say. But Elmer is the glue. John Elber, but yes, Elmer's is, yes.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Good, good, good. Yeah. Very good, very good, yes. They really make glue from horses? I hope so. Yeah, and that's funny that the Elmer's glue has a cow on it. Horses say nay.
Starting point is 01:03:04 Horses say nay. Horses say nay, not moo. Hey, you're supposed to be saying nay, not moo. Yes, they make it out of horses, I think. I don't know. No one's ever really gave me a straight answer on that.
