Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love.
I'm Jeff Dutton along with Mike Hanford. Whoa. And Tim Kalpakis. What is up album release
styling? Wow. it's out there
folks we've been talking about it we've been getting you
ready we've been dropping little clues
and little singles
the singles
some of the biggest clues is when we said we have an album coming out
August 4th if you missed that clue
folks you are not Sherlock
Holmes-esque
we don't know what else we can do for you
you gotta meet us halfway.
When we give you a fact, you've got to listen to the fact.
Yeah.
Facts are important if you're sleuthing.
And we're celebrating today's album release by being in the same room.
We're all in LA.
Oh, it's hot.
Oh, they can tell.
They can tell.
Yeah.
The chemistry is crackling.
Oh, God.
I think it's pretty crackling.
Maybe I shouldn't be messing with this thing.
It's probably...
Yeah, don't touch it.
Okay.
But I like to fidget with something. I need a's pretty crazy. Maybe I shouldn't be messing with this thing. It's probably... Yeah, don't touch it. Okay, but I like to fidget with something.
I need a fidget spinner.
It's time.
I finally should get a fidget spinner.
Yeah?
Maybe for Christmas, I'll get a fidget spinner.
Spin that thing around.
You see those fidget spinners?
It's just like a cube.
It's got like buttons on it, switches, and it's just stuff to like fuck with.
Yeah.
It's weird.
You know, I never had a thing on
the back of my phone case you ever have like a circle oh yeah oh yeah any circle people kind of
those are the grown-up fidget spinners oh it's like an accordion thing that comes off the back
but it's just like circle you can use it if you're gonna like take pictures or you let's say you want
to watch a tv show you can use it to prop your phone up but yeah i mainly see people just playing
with it and spinning it and i i do that anytime i have like a pen or something i'm like just twisting the cap on and off or when
i have a pen i usually i click it once and then you know the little writing part comes out yeah
and i start just writing my feelings yeah that's the the tip they call it yeah the pen the tip
the ink tip is that what we wanted to know the new album yes talk about the new album it's called
the sonic ranch it's produced by money mark from the beastie boys it's out it's on spotify it's on
apple music google play i don't know hey it's on title that's for sure it is talk about a misfire
though huh nobody's on title i am come on no you remember because for a minute it was like jay-z
and kanye stuff were only on Tidal,
and then they all came back to Spotify.
Well, there's talk of a music strike.
I don't know how that would work.
It's not up to the artist to be like, take my stuff down.
It's up to the labels, right?
So it'd have to be like Capitol Records saying, we no longer agree, Spotify.
Or, I mean, if you go on strike, you don't get to take old stuff down, you stop making new stuff.
I mean, Spotify would be absolutely fine. Yeah's enough music sorry folks well not well now there's enough
music the fourth slot only just recently is there now that's enough what was a fun album to make
i'll tell you that much it was a damn blast and you might even say that the drink of the day is
sort of reminiscent of our studio session but of course we're not there yet no no no no
yeah this album was a little different than the last few wasn't it well we worked on a soundboard
that was uh we were told a million dollars yeah there's like a yeah a neve is like the fanciest
kind of soundboard this was two neves that were welded together yeah and i think it was owned by
madonna yeah owned by madonna at one point and she's a material girl so she's like yeah I'll give me two neves and
melt them together she's a material but she's always changing her also a virgin
sometimes sometimes like one like definitely like one and sometimes frozen
and sometimes like a surgeon sometimes if not any of her songs, but sometimes. No, no, no. She's hanging around a certain curly haired paradist.
Paradist.
Paradiso.
I want to talk about that.
That makes sense why the, I mean, everyone was so worried when I was setting a can of
beer or soda, anything down near it.
They're like, ah, we maybe shouldn't put that there.
Like, ah.
Then you drink it.
You drink it.
Asshole.
I'm doing it all wrong. the neve the double neve
80 tracks owned by bandana resides at sonic ranch famous studio oh my god very cool any
little instrument you wanted there was something it was on the property somewhere right yeah they
could be like any guitar or keyboard we wanted some guy would just go find it and what's crazy
is you're in the middle of nowhere it's torneo texas west texas it's a gigantic pecan farm it's not a mom and pop pecan farm it's a
huge corporate pecan farm so the owner of it is rich enough that he decided to build a world-class
studio for the greatest artists in the world to come record at but while we were living that
that's what's so funny is like you're in the middle of nowhere, no contact with the outside world. But then you could be like, I don't know, could I have a 1963 Les Paul?
And they'd be like, yes, Tim.
And they would go get it.
They'd drive a pickup truck out off into the farm to some storage facility and get the guitar for me.
Then you open up the cage.
You're like, there's more pecans in here.
And we ate the pecans and we learned that you don't have to cook them for them to have the normal pecan taste.
You could eat them raw.
Oh, yeah.
They put them in the freezer.
Oh, that was good.
Yeah, yeah.
When we first got there, it was nighttime.
And Tony, the guy who runs the place, we're sitting down eating dinner that they prepared for us every night.
Oh, yeah.
The staff was fantastic.
And he's like, here, have some pecans.
They've been in the freezer. We said, no. It's like Tony. like tony oh you don't know what you're doing in the freezer it was great
he also had a wine cellar oh tony is cracking wine like crazy uh every night it's not it's not a
problem no he handles it well but it was very much like we go into the this like hacienda and sit at
a long banquet table all together and eat and there'd be other rock stars like actually it was funny because we were there's the three sloppy boys and then
money mark is our producer and that was the like it was all like bands of dudes and then like an
older rich producer guy what's his name from the black crow chris robinson chris robinson was there
yeah and we got to be friends with him and he was producing a band uh i think the texas gentleman
was and they were really good i listened to some of their stuff on spotify and they knew us they Yeah. And we got to be friends with him and he was producing a band. I think the Texas Gentleman.
Texas Gentleman.
They were really good.
I listened to some of their stuff on Spotify.
And they knew us.
They knew us from the Birthday Boys.
Oh, yeah.
That was great.
Well, yeah, of course.
They haven't been living under a rock.
They read the news.
But what a great melting pot that like you go to Texas to a ranch in the middle of nowhere
and you really just focus up and you live it and you eat it and breathe it.
And then you sit at this big table with other bands making their albums.
You're like, oh, how many did you get through today?
Oh, just one, not even one.
Oh, maybe better tomorrow.
Zero.
Well, the Chris, yeah, I remember that one band was like,
I forget what they were called, but they were like,
yeah, we drum tracked 14 tracks today.
Okay.
Yikes.
We got to know the need.
Don't tell Dots.
The Chris Robinson thing was so funny because
we're sitting there when we first get there and money mark is talking to him and they were talking
in ways like you could tell they'd been around the industry for a while and we're mentioning
people they both knew i was like who's this guy he looks familiar and i know that name
and then all of a sudden he's like well yeah when me and the crows were at whatever festival
i was like that's fucking like hey little thing let me light your candle he kept saying that to me because at
dinner the candles were out on the table because every every bite you kept going yeah that was
good blowing them all out tim's kept going out what's their huge song that's like a slower song
says she talks to angels. That's big.
That's a big tune.
And that was actually a big album for me.
Whatever album that was, my family had that cassette for some reason.
We got it at like a magazine drive or something.
And I knew it well.
And I told them so.
Damn, that must have been like one of the last cassettes though.
Probably getting into CD territory around that. That I got?
You know what?
Probably more cassettes I got were like older bands. You know what I mean? Yes. I remember having like Led Zeppelin cassettes though probably getting into cd territory that i got you know what i probably more cassettes i got were like older bands ah you know i mean like i remember having like led
zeppelin cassettes acdc elo greatest hits me and my buick ninja turtles coming out of their shells
tour uh simpsons sing the blues dude why not that's so funny listen to the turtles like you're
just listening you're just having the audio experience there's only one song i that you know it's the most cynically made
see them see that they're turtles and watch them do karate but instead you're just listening to
actors talk about pizza the point is to see that the reptiles do karate now i gotta hear them sing
oh god uh the turtle new Turtles movie is coming out.
Yeah, it looks good.
It looks good as hell.
I'll see it.
Of course.
But here's the thing.
The animation looks like that sort of drawn animation.
Yeah, Spider-Verse.
Spider-Verse.
Sort of.
Interesting.
Is that the new thing?
I guess so.
Am I going to be sick of it already?
Here's the thing.
I think Pixar went too polished.
Like, everybody was chasing Pixar, trying to be Pixar.
Oh, but those big glowing Pixar eyes.
And don't forget big round asses.
Watch it, buddy.
Watch out.
They're out there.
And I think, you know, you can't beat Pixar at their own game.
And I think Spider-Verse is one of the first to be like, fuck it.
We're going sketchbook style.
Scratchy.
All fucked up and weird and little jokes in the frames.
It's cool.
I was watching WALL-E on the plane ride here.
Good one.
Good film.
Wonderful movie.
He's so funny.
Nobody talks for 20 minutes, thank God.
Thank God.
You can finally get some peace and quiet,
get a little shut-eye in that movie.
Ah, let me just watch this little square robot
zoom around the...
Fred Willard.
Fred Willard's in that movie as a human.
And he doesn't talk and he doesn't talk.
But he's like a human human.
There's a few humans
and they're like
commercials and stuff. But yeah. But then when they show
humans, they're all little bloated
lazy boy characters. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But at some point, they worked in a real
man, Fred Willard. It's funny
in a kind of a kid's Pixar movie
to have a grim view of the future.
The humans are all overfed
and can't move. And it's pretty
Orwellian. Well, I think,
you know, we didn't have enough of those types of stories,
us growing up or generations forth.
And that might be why we're in this mess.
Right.
COVID.
That's a big part of it.
I think global warming is connected to COVID.
Yeah,
I think,
I think so.
I think so.
Give me a second to think about it. Yeah.
Well, anything else about the album? We're going to be talking about it the whole time.
We'll be talking about it the whole time. We should
finish chit-chat and get into
bib-bib-bib-bib.
Booze News? Booze News!
Hit it!
Oh!
Oh!
Ooh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, very nice.
I could dance.
I could dance.
In the gardens of Gomorrah.
You can do.
Wow. All right.
Dance in the gardens of Gomorrah was sent to us by Brad Hill.
And if you have a booze news theme, email it to the sloppyoppyboyspodcast at gmail.com. Is that from Barbie?
Yeah, I think so. Nice work, Brett.
Nice. Wait, what's the Dua Lipa song?
The Dua Lipa song. I haven't seen
Barbie yet.
Barbenheimer. That was, oh God, remember
that weekend? Yeah.
That was
overwhelming for us who saw that weekend.
That weekend.
Every time I looked at my phone, I was remembering what other people were doing.
I want to get back to big weekends in just a second.
But that was Brad Hill.
That was great.
And I loved, first of all, that was the whole song.
We just played a little bit. Yeah, I faded out early because he didn't even really mean this as a booze news theme.
He was just like, here's a whole mashup I made.
We should post this.
Yeah, we should post this. And it could actually kind of go viral very good also i'm a little disconcerted by how well people can strip the lead vocals out of our tunes i know
like is that just i'm supposed to be the wizard guy who knows that shit i can't ai probably Probably. Yep. Wait. Brad Hall. Hill. Hill.
A-I.
Next letter is B.
Right.
H-I.
Okay.
There's a letter before that. Right.
They're very close.
They're very close.
Very, very close.
All right.
Is that a reference to Hal?
You know, Hal from 2001?
Probably, sure.
You know, that's derived from IBM.
They just put the letter before each of those letters.
So IBM becomes H-A-L.
I love hearing when like,
when there's a character in a book or a movie or something,
it's like his name is Jason Preacher because preachers are good.
I don't know.
But my point is I never think about names.
I'm writing something like his name is John.
John from Cincinnati?
John, like the toilet.
So what I was going to say about big weekends before we get into the booze news, because
I know that's exciting and people want to hear about it, but not yet for me.
Remember Carmageddon?
Yeah.
Out here in LA, it was like the 405 was being shut down for a weekend.
There was something else, too. There was like a few, it was like a perfect5 was being shut down for a weekend. There was something else too.
There was like a few, it was like a perfect storm of things, wasn't it?
Yeah.
And it was like, it's going to be gridlock everywhere because like a huge freeways.
405 was down and I think that was also the weekend they were going to let the freaks out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the freaks were feeling driving.
But it was a whole thing like, let's get, and I think people were just playing into it to be funny but like karmageddon i'm having a karmageddon house a party in my house
we're coming in we're sleeping over all night we can't go anywhere and it was kind of just fun
because everyone did that and then the 405 was fun yeah there was also that weekend where the
405 was completely engulfed in flames all sides and the cars were still going through it do you
remember this yeah it was like a it was like fire season a couple of years ago.
But videos, like people were filming out their windows and it looked fucking terrifying.
Yeah.
There's something nice to a Carmageddon feeling. If you live in a big city like LA, feeling like connected, like this, I don't know, probably
4 billion people in LA, but did you have a weekend that we were all in Carmageddon happening?
I can't be right.
I think there's 8 billion people on earth.
and we were all like,
Carmageddon happening.
I can't be right.
I think there's 8 billion people on Earth.
But when you have a thing to talk about,
it's like, I can't believe we all have to deal with this thing.
Yeah.
It feels kind of small town-y.
There's something very holiday feeling,
like a Thanksgiving or Christmas.
It's like, you can't do anything today
because it's crazy day.
Yeah, let's just stay home
and have stuffing.
Yeah.
God, I would love some stuffing.
In college, I made stuffing,
just willy-nilly.
Stove top?
Stove top.
And I would walk around with my big one mug and eat stuffing.
People would go, God, that smells so good.
And I'd shake it.
Stove top.
It's stuffing.
You bubble it up with one of those plug-in teapots and pour it into the stuffing?
It's just like hot water and breadcrumbs.
Nasty.
But it feels home-cooked.
It's stuffing.
Oh, goodbye.
Well, is that it for booze?
Wait, no.
That's not it for booze.
No, no.
We haven't even started the booze news.
Shit.
Okay, this is an article
that a ton of slobheads sent me.
Ooh.
Maybe you guys saw it as well.
It's good social proof.
Here's a drink.
Have you heard of
Yoo-Hoo and Absinthe?
No.
Yeah, only through you.
Through me? There's an article on bon
appetit i don't like this headline you who an absence that's the drink uh yep fucking james
khan tweeting you know like that's the tweet me and pacino used to be boys that's the tweet
this this that but aside from annoying headline a lot people say uh people say it's good i saw
on twitter jack shram said that this is a good pairing absinthe and yoohoo i trust the shrammer
i don't know why but i trust the shrammer trust them with my life we're doing stinky star anise
and sweet choco and yoohoo's funny because it's like it's not dairy right it's like chocolate
water and it's in a can it doesn't go bad oh it's not like it's not dairy right it's like chocolate water and it's in a can it doesn't
go bad oh it's not like it's not chocolate milk it's some other thing oh yeah right right right
chocolate drink it's like water and chocolate yeah water and chocolate i think that's it which
sounds mouth-watering but um watery well the thing i wanted a thing about i wanted to point out was
this article the drink comes it's like a new drink and it comes from a book that this bartender put out.
It's called saved by the Bellini and other nineties inspired cocktails.
So this article was kind of promoting this book and that this absent you who
drink is called the absent crag,
which is a reference to the aggro crag guts on guts,
guts,
guts, so that's on guts. Duts. Duts.
Duts.
So that's very influential.
Very influential.
But I just wanted,
I was pointing out to say,
remember the sort of,
the retro tacky dirt baggy kind of dirty Shirley type of thing.
I feel like that's saying this is bubbling over.
If there's like a big publisher publishing a book and Bon Appetit is
covering like you who an absent, like you you who is funny to us that yeah there's in his good dream yeah but
the winkiness of it is sort of feels like dirty shirley culture being yes like it's very saturated
it's very uh what's what's the word like tchotchke what's the word? Like tchotchke? What's the word I'm looking for? Kitch. It's cocaine bear. That is funny.
Tchotchkes are kitschy. Tchotchkes are kitschy.
Tchotchkes.
You hear the tchotchkes are kitschy?
Tchotchkes are too kitschy.
I remember the first time I.
Don't throw him.
These tchotchkes are too kitschy.
I went serious.
Give me the finest, most modern tchotchkes.
Belmont, get rid of these tchotchkes.
I remember the first time I heard the word tchotchke. It was like kids in school were saying it. And I was like, what? And they're like, you know, tchotchkes. Battle mom to go get rid of these tchotchkes. I remember the first time I heard the word tchotchke.
It was like kids in school were saying it.
And I was like, what?
And they're like, you know, tchotchkes.
They're just things that are all over.
And I'm like, what?
And they're like, you know, in your house, you got tchotchkes.
Especially.
They're all over the place.
What are these things?
They're all over the place.
They're on me.
I'm just like cockroaches.
Yeah.
Baubles is another like tchotchkes and baubles.
It's like just stuff that's in a drawer.
On the way over here today, there was a spider in Tim's car.
What?
I had to take it out.
Black Widow?
No, no, a little tiny guy, but I took my shoe off and got it.
It's crazy.
There are Black Widows out here.
Have you seen them?
No.
Saw one at Mookie's.
Ew.
You're not talking about a spider.
Really?
Yeah.
Dangerous stuff.
Because at home in New Hampshire, I would always be like, a spider.
Is it a Black Widow?
And I can be like, no, it's not.
I see it as a joke. Like Black Widow, I think that can be like, no, it's not. They're all like black widow.
I think that they're like,
it's so evil that they don't really know.
But like in,
especially as a kid,
I was scared of arachnophobia that movie,
but you were scared of getting arachnophobia.
I don't want to catch the fear.
I hope I don't get too scared of fighters.
Well,
yeah,
no,
we were in drinking beers in his backyard during COVID.
And I saw a little,
saw a little web.
Oh, you told me. I decided to investigate.
And you see that iconic little orange hourglass. Yikes.
But I think they're really poisonous, but they're not
going to bother you unless you really fuck with them.
So it's fine. Because I was trying to make
a Scarlett Johansson joke before.
That could be good. Maybe it's like they won't
get too mad unless they read
Variety and maybe some movie from
the Marvel Universe didn't do so great.
Why didn't you go to the movies?
The spider you saw in my car, it was inside, not on.
Because the rear view mirrors on both, the side mirrors always have spider webs on them.
Mine is that too.
Why is that?
So this was a moment Tim and I got
in the car. It was way too hot, so we left
the doors open for a while. I stayed in the car. Tim got
out. Waiting for the AC to kick in.
Yeah, really. Hot day.
Leather seats. A little tiny, one of those
little kind of like spiders that moves real quick
and it doesn't just lumber along.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was hanging out by, you know where like the door
gets closed? If it was a big enough thing, if, you know, where like the door gets closed.
If it was a big enough thing,
if the door closed,
it would have squished it.
Yeah.
But I saw it in there.
I took my shoe off.
Got it.
Either smushed it
or knocked it out of the car.
I couldn't tell.
Should let it live.
Well,
it's too late now.
Yeah,
it's too late.
He's gone.
Jeff,
listen to this move
on the same car ride.
We pull up to the liquor store
to get the drink of the day.
This I couldn't believe.
I almost didn't bring it up
because it's too unbelievable. Cap and Cork? We go to cap and cork i so we had already we
took a little pause to let the ac get going this is a hot la day and i need uh my ac we pull up
the liquor store i'm gonna park in the in the parking lot and i start to open my door and mike
starts opening his door too i'm like oh you're coming in? He's like, yeah, I'll come in. Enjoy the AC. So he's thinking
AC as well. AC is that.
AC Slater, Atlantic City.
No, but on a serious note, folks.
So then I get out. I leave the car
running. We both get out and he's like,
is the car running? And I'm like, yeah, I'm going to let it run.
We both go into the liquor store
together. I leave a T-Bird
doors unlocked, car running.
In the past, I've locked it and then
i had my other key you know but this time i didn't have the other key so i just damn that is
nuts that's and i have my laptop in the trunk oh my god that's insane timmy i was willing to
lay it all on the line to not be sweaty i said i said what's gonna happen if someone just walks
by so i'll be sad that's my course about if someone just walks by and says, I'll be sad.
That's my course of that.
If your car gets stolen and your computer's in your car,
what you do is be sad.
You're allowed to be sad for a second, but then you've got to track down the vehicle.
Oh my God.
You say it's me sighing and then
I've got to track down this wrongdoer.
That's a cool move, man.
That reminds me of something you'd see in movies.
That reminds me of like, we've talked about it.
It's such a small town thing.
But it's such a small town thing and it's so renegade.
It's so devil may care, Tim.
But here's the thing.
Yeah, exactly.
Spread that around.
Don't do that anymore since this episode came out because people know what your car looks like.
Sure.
And now they know they're going to be-
Celebrity car.
They're going to boot up the Tim Tracker and get a free car.
Yeah, they're like, oh, there's a car. Anyone could have taken that car.
Anyone. And gotten away with it. Legendary
car should be in a museum.
Should be a fucking impound lot. What did Bob
say when he first saw you buy that car?
Oh, Tim, no.
What are you doing? He was like, hey, Bob, check out
Tim's new car. Oh, no.
It does, it looks like a car that would have been a lot of money, but it's not. It's new car. Oh, no. It does. It looks like a car
that would have been
a lot of money,
but it's not.
It's an 02.
It's not a classic.
My parents had a
Chrysler Sebring convertible.
Oh, yes.
Very popular.
Very nice.
But very impractical
in New Hampshire.
We really enjoyed it
for maybe three or four months
and then it was top down.
Well, that's the weird thing
about the-
Top down, windows up.
Top up.
Wait.
Yes. Huh? I was referencing a song. Top down. Turn, that's the weird thing about the- Top down, windows up. Top up? Wait. Yes.
Huh?
I was referencing a song.
Top down.
Turn down for what?
I think that's the way I like to-
No, it's Ludacris.
Oh, there.
Luda?
Luda.
Chris Bridges?
Damn it, I didn't see the latest Fast and Furious movie.
Those movies are actually good.
You actually have to watch them because they're actually good.
I know they are
and that's why I'm in.
I didn't see it.
Not picking up on my tone.
Man, those movies
more than any other
I get suckered into seeing
and I'm just mad that I saw it.
Why do people have the need to say,
like,
I've been suckered by so many people
that are like,
no, I know what you think
but that's actually good
and I watch it and it's bad.
I'm like,
what joy do you get
out of telling me to watch a big block
of a piece of trash?
They wanted to trick you.
If you're going to convince me of something,
convince me of an obscure thing that's good that I didn't know about.
But to say like, oh, bad for you.
Oh, Thor Ragnarok is so funny, man.
Fuck you. I love that the knives always come out for Thor Ragnarok. Still funny, man. Fuck you.
I love that the knives always come out for Thor Ragnarok.
Still, I've never seen it.
Still, I've never seen it.
No.
Also, here's the crazy thing.
I have never seen anything Taika Waititi has ever done.
And I know.
What we do in the shadows?
I've never seen the original movie.
Oh, wow.
I'm unaware.
And that I'm ashamed of.
As a comedy writer, I should
know this franchise.
I got friends that write for this show.
I hear great things. Yes. But because
if it's proximity to Thor
or Ragnarok,
I haven't gotten into it. Well, you saw bits of
Concords. You did bits of Concords. Love Concords.
When the hell is that
Deadpool Wolverine movie going out?
You said you're going to tell me when it comes out, right?
I'm not tracking it.
That's your thing, baby.
But you know about this before I do.
I've heard about this.
I should say, I know I'm a hater and stuff, but I've heard that movie's actually good.
It's actually good.
I heard because of the writer's strike that he can't do improv in that movie.
That was the plan doing Deadpool 3 is like, Ryan won't do improv. Right, because that's writing. Oh. But now he can't do improv in that movie. That was the plan doing Deadpool 3 is like, Ryan won't do improv.
Right, because that's writing.
Oh.
But now he can't do acting either.
Right.
Wait, it's already, oh, it's not shot yet.
So this is going to be a while.
They started, so it's going to be a while.
It's like a big thing in your life.
I don't know anything about it,
but I just know I won't need it.
What am I excited about?
Meg 2, I think that came out today.
You're not excited about Meg 2?
I didn't see Meg 1.
You don't need to.
It's a humongous shark.
I don't know, man.
A shark film?
I didn't see Open Water.
I didn't see Deep Blue Sea.
You didn't see Deep Blue Sea?
I only saw Jaws 1.
I saw Jaws 1 once.
You know what's weird?
I have seen Jaws one every summer of my
life like uh it'll be like on tv or you're on vacation it's a fun movie to put on and i love it
but i've it's never i never know like what scenes are coming when yeah i have a lot of movies like
that where i'm just like oh yeah this seems great oh yeah this scene but like i couldn't tell you
the plot in order yeah and it And it's, and it's.
Yeah.
It's really good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Right.
We haven't gotten out of the ship yet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's long too.
Like it's, it's got like that other act where it's like, oh yeah.
Normally we.
Yeah.
Right.
You forget about the things at the beginning where it's like the mayor is bumping into
the kids who were playing.
Yeah.
We're marching band.
Weird connective tissue stuff.
Like how come some movies I can tell you almost everything that happens in
order,
like back to the future Jurassic park,
but like a movie like that or a movie like Chinatown or something,
every scene surprises me when I watch it.
It's like,
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Blade runner.
That those are really opaque though.
Yeah.
That won't be the case with the sloppy boys movie.
No,
you're going to remember every scene.
You're probably going to be able to predict scenes.
It'll be so stupid. So base.
So basic.
Then we get Wolverine in that one too.
Shing shing. My booze news was
that for the first time ever,
liquor has outperformed
beer in the market. Wow.
Liquor has outperformed beer.
People, I think, are just beard out.
And Seltzer took a chunk of the
beer market probably yeah yeah yeah good point people are just more into cocktails in the moment
seltzer split the base yeah like bernie split base yeah um i think that they probably listening
to sloppy boys podcast they've heard that we think you can't drink beer too much beer yeah
have a nice one beer in the sun yellow cold that's fun well that
and the other thing too is there's like 350 celebrity liquors out there oh wow yeah that's
a lot we need one how are we not in there we're not on that list it's actually uh 347 but i had
oh wow yeah casamigos that's the big boy. Yeah. Aviation. That's your boy, Deadpool.
That's Deadpool.
I should start drinking that.
Damn.
Okay.
Was that it for Booze News?
That's it for Booze News.
That's it for Booze News.
Wow.
It's wrapped up.
I can't believe Booze News got wrapped up.
Okay.
The drink of the day on our very special episode.
It's finally, we're releasing our album, Sonic Ranch,
and there's a drink that's very nostalgic to us.
We had a couple, I'll say, marking the occasion.
Lone Star beer.
Yeah, that was kind of cool.
A lot of Lone Star floating around.
We requested that, actually.
They said, what do you guys want on your rider?
And I said Lone Star because I knew that's the cheap Texas beer
made by Pabst.
Is that so?
Yeah.
No shit.
Still?
Or like,
it's still part of it?
Or like,
they probably make it in Texas,
but part of the whole,
that kind of glamour.
Do you like corporate shit,
by the way?
Lord,
where did I fall on this?
Because I do like,
I do like shit.
Consult the lore here.
You can't avoid it.
You can't wait for the next Deadpool movie. But then the strike, I got to be Consult the lore here. You can't avoid it.
You can't wait for the next Deadpool movie.
But then the strike.
I got to be with the strikers.
The boys, yeah.
But that place was littered with Lone Stars.
Yeah.
I made Calpe Cordials.
Calpe Cordials with some Kraken rum, I remember.
Some dark.
Oh, yeah, those were good.
I was mixing together Bacardi and Kraken to kind of get an amalgamation of a Sailor Jerry. And I really think I really indulge in the red wine
because Tony, the owner, the culture of the place
is everyone is in their separate studios on this big farm.
They're working during the day.
You come together at night and Tony's pouring your red wine
and you're going, thank you.
We felt like little kids kind of.
Yeah, it was a very nice.
The food is so fantastic, too.
They kind of had it going all day, right?
Yeah, you could kind of just be-
We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
But then there was just like quesadillas all the time.
Breakfast, you'd place an order.
Breakfast, so good.
You go sit down.
You're in a house, in a dining room.
They would say like, what would you like?
And we're like, a breakfast burrito, I guess.
And they're like, what type of meat?
You're like, chorizo, I guess. Yeah, yeah.. I mean, an incredible menu. One of them that I got
all the time was the Sonic Ranch Burrito, which I think was just like sausage, egg, cheese, potato
or something. But damn, every day. Nice. Our good friend, Robert Olguin, who's a news anchor in El
Paso, he's sort of like the Prince of El Paso. He turned us on to Abasolo.
He got a bottle of this stuff and we loved it.
Basically, it's a Mexican corn whiskey.
Did you guys know that corn originated in Mexico?
I did not.
No.
Corn's from Mexico.
Wow.
That's crazy.
That is crazy.
Like yellow corn the way we know it?
Yellow corn the way we know it. I guess all kind of corns.
Corn used to be like rainbow colored too. There was i guess all kind of corns corn used to be
like rainbow colored too there was like crazy jewel toned corns back in the day yeah but i
think it went the way of the true banana yeah yeah that's which we refuse to read about but
we've heard that bananas have changed the one true old banana flavor that is now lives on in the form of runs so from from uh uh corn comes like uh maize and then you know you
got tortillas and you got tamales and all this stuff popcorn corn syrup there you go popcorn
corn on the cob the most basic form of corn if you would have said tim what's whiskey mean if
i would have said grain right i thought grain that's what you told me yesterday when i asked you but this is a corn whiskey from mexico i'm holding the bottle and i'm
going to read right off the back it says abasolo ancestral corn whiskey is crafted and distilled
from the finest non-gmo and then there's a word for corn here that i can't pronounce so i'm gonna
have my phone say it c Cacahuasendal.
Cacahuasendal, corn, which has been smooth whiskey with notes of roasted grain, vanilla, and honey.
It's funny to say notes of grain.
It's like, I know another way to get some notes of grain.
This is supposed to have a deep, historic taste that puts you in touch with people from 4,000 years ago.
Perfect.
That must be such an industry, the people who write these things, or advertise people.
And it's like, how are we going to make this say nothing and everything at once?
I wonder if that's a third-party copywriting agency, and then Abasolo is like,
hey, we need some Zazz for the back of the bottle.
You look at the back of Kona, big wave. And I thinkazz for the back of the bottle. You look at the back of like Kona, Big Wave.
And I think it has the same type of story.
It's like any IPA beer has like a story on the back
and it's just all this kind of obscure language.
I struggled to write that so much
that I had AI help me for my Spotify bio.
Wow.
Can I read it to you?
Yeah.
Your Spotify bio?
Yeah.
Well, here's the thing.
Like most AI projects,
you just have it like spit out a bunch of poetic words and you pick
and choose and mix and match and you got to like collaborate with it.
That sort of poetic crap, you know?
Yeah.
I just needed a bunch of strings of words that sounded vibey.
Mm-hmm.
And I came up with, it came up with, Dutz is the captivating pop auteur leading a revolution
of raw sonic pleasure.
Wow. Wow.
Perfect.
His anthems of passion, seduction, and betrayal, drawn from life amid the neon streets of Los
Feliz, blur the lines between reality and fantasy.
So, but what was it going off to know you gave it some prompts?
Yeah.
I sort of gave it like-
It's beautiful.
I gave it like 80s neon bad boy, Michael Jackson, all that sort of stuff.
And I said, sexual, more sexual.
And I even hit a point where it said, we can't go anymore.
Yeah, you're like, this is going to turn anatomically crazy.
Orgasmic.
That'd be cool if it come up with all that stuff just from listening to your music.
That's the thing is like, I know we're all afraid of ai terrified but um i noticed it was like
getting dumber like it it can't go on the internet and tell you all that stuff it will i tried to
have it do like a bio for me and it struggled to find like birthday boys and stuff like that
wouldn't be the only one well that's the i mean that's the bottle it's pretty
straightforward this week it's a bottle liquor so we doing rocks um i i like to that's what we
did was in a rocks glass on the rocks i've had this once since there's a very cool wine shop
in kingston new york downtown called kingston wines and there's a slop head that works there
in fact hey a very cool place impeccable music
taste of the staff there but they they stock this stuff so i had it when i was recently on vacation
living on a sailboat in the rondel creek and this stuff once again was delicious to me so um i'm
excited you guys have not had this since the torneo pecan farm no yeah and i didn't i kind of forgot
about the bottle, too.
That's a cool bottle.
It's just a square brick, like a red brick look.
It's a nice, beautiful bottle.
This is 45 bucks.
This is a premium product.
But it looks like something Daniel Plainview would have.
Yes.
It's real nice.
I drink your milkshake.
Oh, I said it the same way I always say it.
I always do. Oh, I'll always say it. I always do.
Oh, I'll kill a guy in a bowling alley.
That's not a guy.
That's the guy who played Riddler.
You don't know his name.
That's not just a guy.
All right.
You want to get to it?
Yes.
Folks, we're going to take a little break.
And when we come back, we have have a solo in hand and we're back have a solo in hand let's start with a sniff
corny
I'm getting notes of corn a cornfield
it's funny when they said what vanilla and honey
they said grain vanilla honey
it's a light color too
it's almost like a greenish
hue more yellow hue
smells like corn
yeah
corn chips Fritos
bottoms up oh yeah crisp bright Yeah. Corn chips. Fritos. Here we go. Bottoms up.
Ooh.
Oh, yeah.
Crisp.
Bright.
It's got, it's whiskey.
It's like a rye whiskey, kind of like a little more bitey, you know? Mm-hmm.
Bright and bitey and corny.
The breath.
Yeah.
It is like sweet.
It is sweet.
Sweet corn.
Rye is a good distinction, but it's not as stanky.
Right.
Yeah.
You're not getting into the scotch area.
Right.
Is that peaty?
I always forget.
That's peaty.
I don't know the word.
Peaty.
We should fucking watch that movie, man.
That's a good blowout.
Dumb and Dumber?
Shit.
Dumb the Dumber.
Have we not done a blowout about Dumb and Dumber?
I think I mentioned it as like best last line of a movie.
I guess we've discovered this other thing too,
where when you just watch a comedy and then you talk about it,
you're like, yeah, that part was funny.
Yeah, no, that part was funny.
I've watched it recently.
It holds up.
I haven't seen it.
It's so funny.
I just bumped my mic right into my mouth and my microphone.
Drunk off this one sip, I guess.
I'll do that when I'm on,
if I'm doing stand-up or even in our shows.
For some reason, I always put my foot on the base of a microphone, like the circle part.
And usually they're not flat,
so it comes back and like hits me in the mouth.
It's just like dings my tooth.
I'm like, you teeth, okay.
That hurts.
I hope nobody ever notices.
They teach you in stand-up class, don't you?
You walk out, hey, how's it going?
And then you immediately, boosh, take the mic out of the stand, get the stand out of the way, just stand there, look like a professional.
And then there's this funny subconscious thing at the end of a stand-up set.
You know, the comic has gotten the light and savvy viewers would maybe see them getting the light, but most people don't notice that.
But it is funny.
You'll see a little nod off to someone in the back.
Got it.
won't notice that but it is funny a little you'll see a little nod off to someone in the back yeah got it uh but then it's funny when when a stand-up is doing their closing joke they kind of start to
get the stand back together another tell and it's another tell and what's funny is like you know that
a a stand-up usually closes with their best joke you know like open with your like second best
joke and close your best so whenever i see someone like playing with the wire starting to make their way
like moving the bench or any of it you get ready to laugh you take a deep breath i just think it's
cute that like they think this is their best joke yeah and it's kind of funny to have any business
when you're like this is my big moment but you know there you go yeah the preparing when something
is ending somebody
just brought this up to me recently i was like yeah it is a big problem when you go to alamo
draft house or nighthawk in brooklyn any place where like they serve food to you during watching
a movie yeah you can tell the movie's like going to be wrapping up because they come and start
putting checks down and you're like oh yeah i guess i didn't realize that like that is such a
giveaway oh that's true and it's like a lot lot of fumpfering and stuff right as things are happening.
I hate when they bring you the bill and they lean into your ear and they say,
He dies.
That sucks.
That sucks.
It's spoily.
If you don't pay, you'll die too.
Oh my gosh.
I'll die, but I want to live.
We'll run you through the fucking film machine.
We'll do that?
Oh, shit.
Inefficient way to kill somebody.
The Rejector?
No, the film machine.
Yes.
I just went to
Alamo Drafthouse.
What did I see?
Oh, I can't remember.
Oh, Evil Dead Rise,
which I did not like.
Oh, Zabububu, huh?
Mm-hmm.
You didn't like Zabububu?
No, no.
Zabububu is funny, man.
No, bad.
I thought they were scary. I thought they were scary. Ah, man man i saw it with some other horror heads and we all looked around at
each other after the first scene and we it was thumbs down from the very bad but was it laughably
bad no i was hoping i was hoping i was like oh please just be laughably bad. If it starts being bad, just continue on down to please be laughably bad.
Laughably so.
Remember, we went to see Minions at one of these movie theaters.
Yes, that cinema, finally.
Okay.
Look.
Look.
Look cinemas.
Look cinemas.
That's so fun to be served food and stuff, but our food was ice cold.
It took a long time to come out.
I just had a cold pizza.
I kind of warned you guys, I feel like.
That's the-
We wouldn't listen.
We were just like-
It's hot in it.
I was like, you need to get,
and I know it's tantalizing,
there's a menu,
but like you need to get
movie snacks and booze.
Like that's the fun,
that's the best way
to execute this.
I got a double cognac
on the rocks with cherries.
That sounds great.
I got the chicken nachos
and water at the bottom of them.
That's gross.
Yeah, it's fine
if you want like
cold chicken tenders,
cold pizza, hot ice cream but that's
everything's backwards here we why yes the seats are on the ceiling uh comfortable though i like
the place comfortable and i feel like not a lot of people know about it so it's like yeah you're
not gonna run into me front row seat picks i i've been at some of these nice places. I'm not going to say names, but the popcorn comes out middle of act two.
Yikes, guys.
I put this popcorn order when I sat down.
Yeah.
And you want to be crunching right away.
When I go to the concession stand pre-movie, it's really hard for me to not eat all the popcorn during the previews.
You know my little thing that I do with popcorn.
I don't take one bite until the movie starts.
Really?
Such restraint.
But you put jalapenos on it so it doesn't get soggy.
It does.
I always look to you.
It's disgusting.
I hate it.
I have a miserable life.
Michael, I knew I always looked at you as a man with a lot of discipline.
I have to be disciplined in these moments or I will go off the rails.
Jeez.
Mike, you're wearing a funny shirt.
It says the vibe is in shambles and there's like a bootleg Kermit doing a kickflip.
This shirt I found, I think on Etsy or something.
I was laying in my bed late night.
I had been out.
And, you know, when I go go out i usually come back in a different
state of mind don't give us any more detail than that but use your imagination i'm flipping through
i see this shirt in bed at home by myself i'm laughing out loud at the image i think it's so
funny it's great the vibe is in shambles is such a funny it's very and he's doing a kickflip on a
skateboard like he's doing a fun thing which is like it's not good the image doesn't pair at all it's yeah the sentence is
very funny the vibe is in shambles if it was paired with like a sad mean guy or something
no no who's like an iconically sad that's like perfect it should be michael jordan crying yes
right right that vibe is in shambles that That would make sense. But instead, happy Kermit doing
a kickflip. The contrast is the best part.
It's like very internet-y, zoomery
nihilism.
The vibe is in shambles is so great because
it's like not your
fault. It's just like, guys, guys, this is
a bunch of shambles. We're here.
It really reminded me of
from Surf 2 when he's like, this place is a fucking
zoo. It's like, we're here. There's nothing you can do about it, but it's a mess.
Yep.
Get some shirts online that make you laugh.
Sorry, that's Depop or Etsy?
I think it was Etsy.
Nice.
What the hell was I doing on Etsy?
I feel like when I first moved to LA, it was a golden era of buying t-shirts online.
Remember? That was like... Well, cheapesttees.com. I used to get the big boxes.
Blank primary colors. That's the best. Also, wait, Tim, you're known for having a lot of shirts that
say Los Feliz on them. Yeah, yeah. You really rep it. Cafe Press. But you make those yourself,
right? I don't think so. I mean, cafepress.com is a website where you customize shirts,
but I don't remember making
those shirts. I feel like I flipped through, I saw a white polo that said Los Feliz and I was
like, hell yeah. And I ordered that. But there's a text box that you typed in the word Los Feliz
and then it just plopped it on a different little font.
I searched Los Feliz and it gave me a few different logos and I clicked on the logos
and it gave me a few different shirts. But I't remember if it was like t public where i chose my color pairing with the logo or if maybe somebody else had made these but i love
like a polo shirt with a breast thing because it kind of makes you look like an employee of a place
or like a bartender or something so that's what i was going for makes you look like you have a job
yeah hey i'm gainfully employed i'm on the up and up does gainfully employed. I'm on the up and up. Does gainfully employed mean like you're like gaining money?
I guess so.
Like you're not in the red?
As opposed to I'm employed and it's going down.
I'm lossfully employed.
The one you have, that Lose Fleece sweatshirt you have, it's white.
And it's got Lose Fleece and kind of like the little bubbles in the middle of it.
So that's like a big like, that font looks like Showtime or something to me where it's like,
it's an outline,
but it's got dots in it that look like light bulbs.
Like a marquee.
Like a marquee or something.
That's a great sweatshirt.
And it's one of those things,
you know,
sometimes you go out and see someone in a white sweatshirt and you're like,
yes,
crisp white.
I've got a pair of sloppy boys sweatshirt.
Why am I scared of getting white stuff?
Cause I spill on it.
Spill and then use a little,
just shout it out.
No, a tied to go pen.
Look, I'm screaming
at some of my undershirts at home.
Shout it out.
I'm fucking screaming
at these things.
There's Yuri all over the pits.
I had a day,
I forget if I talked about this on pod,
but I had a day recently
where I walked to Starbucks
in the morning
and I ate some delicious
sous vide egg bites. But the whole walk there and back, I had my AirPods in,
everyone was really doing double takes of the T-Man and I felt famous. And I realized it was
because I was in Los Feliz and I was wearing a Los Feliz shirt that you don't see a lot.
So people probably thought that was a cool shirt, but it really made me feel famous.
Yeah, it probably works for the city or something.
And I got to get used to this feeling, right? Now that we have album four out, this is my life.
Carry a Sharpie with you at all times.
I had a situation like that. I was
walking through the West
Village, very nice part of town in Manhattan.
Beautiful buildings, old stuff.
I'm walking around. I probably go
and I got off the subway and went like two blocks
to get to this bar meeting people at.
And everyone's looking at me like,
and even like kind of like some turning. And I didn't say like, hey, what's the deal? I get to the bar and I at. And everyone's looking at me like, and even like kind of like some turning.
And I didn't say like,
hey, what is, what's the deal?
I get to the bar and I go in the bathroom
because I was there early.
And I was like,
I know why they're looking at me.
I had a fucking turd hanging out of my nose.
And that's weird
because typically it's a booger in the nose,
turd in the ass.
Yeah.
And you didn't even smell it,
even though it was right on the nose it
was as i was just getting over covid okay i gotta say the vibe was in shambles yeah definitely
that was kind of a long walk for not a great joke we should take a long walk off a short
pier i'm kidding though you sound like my therapist this guy wants me dead this guy
wants me gone that's your advice Long walk off a short pier?
As I'm walking out, you fucking idiot!
I would
judge everyone in the waiting room.
Good luck with him! He's a loon!
He's a loon!
I don't know why I spent $200 writing
the $200.
For the memo you're on for a fucking
asshole quack!
Quack fee!
For this quack to
re-wax his boat.
I spend most of my time in therapy
venting about that I have a quack therapist.
And it's killing
my fucking bank account.
Trust me, you don't know him.
Yeah, yeah. He's real ugly shit
too.
Alright, let's take it back to the drink. This is fantastic. Yeah, suits, yeah. He's real ugly shit too. All right, let's take it back to the drink.
This is fantastic.
Yeah, suits me just fine.
This is a nice sipper.
I'm getting, it's just getting way too watery at this point.
What?
I gave you the big cube.
No, I know, but like it's just-
That's the slowest of all.
The heat is making it, it's taking the flavor away.
I'm having major sense memory drinking this.
It's taking me back to
the ranch. Tornillo.
Can I just say one thing and I'm not joking around?
I wish my accountant had some sense memory.
No, absolutely. Yeah.
I wish my banker had some
cents, dollars and cents
type of stuff. That's what I'm saying.
Right.
That's impossible. But anyway, back to the
farm. Let's talk about the living
situation because I had
a bedroom. There was like a sprawling
house and it was
really old and it smelled
really good. It was funky.
Sort of a motel vibe?
What would you call that? It was like a row
of bedrooms around like a courtyard.
Right. Yeah, what are those? It's like like a row of bedrooms around like a courtyard right yeah
what are those it's like a drive-in motel or a motel motor in motor hotel yeah okay but our
doors all open to the outside my room you guys had like conjoined rooms right we we split a
bathroom in the middle the last thing you want to share with anverd is a bathroom uh we bowing
oh these nice big queen beds the air conditioning kicking yep the laundry
they would do fucking laundry force there's a long that blew my mind i just left my dirty laundry on
the floor the next day would be cleaned and folded yeah on the bed you didn't put it i put it in the
laundry basket i put it in the laundry basket not knowing that that meant take it away i thought
that was just a basket yeah my shit and but how nice was it to like wake up at, I don't know, nine, 10, get a burrito and then go to the studio and know that's what I'm doing all day.
I don't need to think about where we're going to get food, driving anywhere.
Yeah.
And that's the whole thing.
Like that's the whole appeal, I think.
We arrived with some songs written, a couple of demos, but we were also writing songs there.
So it's really nice to have the laundry and the food taken off of your
brain so that you can say,
what am I feeling today?
What,
what do I want to say?
And this was,
we had just gotten there and little Yachty had just left,
right?
Now he didn't hear that we were coming.
That's not,
that came up on the blowout where we talked about the Yachty album.
I re I re revisit that recently.
Yeah.
It's good.
It's good.
Yachty in general.
Fantastic. He's fun. I remember saying, That album is fantastic. Yachty in general.
He's fun.
I remember saying, I did a little research and said that it was leaked at one point.
I don't know.
And then, or that it was going to be named Sonic Ranch.
Wow.
And we all on the air were like, whoa.
And if you didn't know that our new album was called Sonic Ranch, you probably thought, why did the sloppy boys all react like that?
A little Easter egg.
Now you know. Go listen to it again, folks. Wait, what was it sloppy boys all react like that? Now you know.
Go listen to it again, folks. Wait, what is it called?
Let's Start Here. Yeah, right.
I didn't, at that time when we were
there, I hadn't heard the song Broccoli, which I
now love. Sure. Oh, no, you've heard
Broccoli? Wait, that's his fucking
I feel like that was. No, now it's one of my favorite
songs. He got a great video of the two of them
floating in a river. Very funny.
Yachty's funny, man. His Hot
Ones was funny. Crack me on shit up.
I gotta catch up on it. You're behind
on Hot Ones? I'm behind on Broccoli.
I Spy is another good song by Yachty.
These are his first two hits.
Anybody who listens to hip-hop is past this,
but those are bangers. And Poland
is good. We should retroactively
put him on our summer playlist.
Absolutely. He's earned it.
Kick it off with Brock. I would love to have him on the show.
Yachty, come on the pod.
Defend yourself. What else we do on that
ranch?
We never got in the pool.
No. Would have loved to swim.
Mikey threatened to many times. Yeah.
I thought I was going to, but I never did.
It was nice to just... Do you ever take
a walk by yourself? Have a thought walk? I had a thought walk, but it was TH to. But I never did. It was nice to just, do you ever take a walk by yourself?
Have a thought walk?
I had a thought walk, but it was T-H-O-T.
I did a run one morning, like through the pecan, like the trails and stuff.
Oh, yeah.
It was kind of neat.
I did a run, but it was backwards through some really tall grass.
Tall grass?
Yeah, you fill your ass with weird grass.
Yeah, fill your ass with weird grass.
Fill your ass with the grass. Oh, we went over over that cool uh water tower thing we saw a train go by
yeah you could just drive you gotta pick up truck and drive around the land we could whoever was
driving us anywhere because we went to dinner at one point robert drove us somewhere up to the
restaurant we could drink beers in the car oh man he, he couldn't. The driver can't have an open container.
But open containers are okay in the car.
And we just did it out of a novelty.
Not because it's a problem.
But we were so excited.
I didn't need beers that day,
but he's like, hey, let's go to dinner.
And if you want, you can have cans of beer in the car.
And we're like, yeah.
That was a thrill for me
because I've only done that when I was a sneaky teenager.
Yeah.
And also driving to that water tower, you're just really out there in the wilderness it's it's desert
and you're there's paths but you're still kind of off-roading like not any car could have gone
where we went you see right right and then we climbed to the top of the water tower took some
photos and stuff climbed down there was some wreckage just like some clay wreckage and a
bunch of uh desert beers
the desert version of woods beers where we're from and that's where we took our very own album cover
iconic we were not ready i was not dressed for an album cover shoot or anything like that we didn't
have hair and makeup no no we're in camera ready it was just but the moment struck and we posed and
then a train came and we kind of goofed around the train remember yeah yeah i tied a woman up and put her on the track yeah a damsel and she was kind of in
distress but a thing to mention about this farm is it's right along the trump wall and that was a
very ominous thing yeah to be out on this beautiful land and stuff and just see this angry wall
the whole time being hey you're fired right yeah truly like what a weird downer that would just
you hear about we hear about on the news and we're like oh the wall or whatever but for these folks
it's right there it's there man and all these things these like political issues really made
their way into our songs yeah yes the fiber of the music if you listen didn't like it listen again
yeah it's it's fascinating our album is so good and we are a good band if you listened and didn't like it, listen again. It's fascinating. Our album is
so good and we are a good band.
If you think, I don't need to write
a paper on this or an article for the New York Times,
listen again.
Yeah. If you're a gray lady writer
and you're listening right now,
crack out the Smith Corona.
Rip up whatever you're working on for your next
article and do this.
Don't even run it by your editor.
Just do it first.
He'll get it.
They'll get it.
Yeah, your editor will like it because you're taking charge.
Yeah.
Show a little fortitude, you know?
You think a manager, editor, they don't want to think anymore.
They'll do so much fucking, just make a decision, go with it.
I need a hit.
That's all they're thinking.
Yeah.
Need a hit?
Well, here's eight of them. I'll tell you what, I need a hit. That's all they're thinking. Yeah. You hit. Well, here's eight of them.
I'll tell you what.
I need a hit.
Another hit of this.
Have a soul.
Ooh.
Yeah.
It's hitting me because we're recording this in the afternoon.
I typically follow Hemingway rules and I don't, I wouldn't start with hard liquor.
I would kind of aperitivo my way into my drinking, but this one is boom.
Smacking me in the face.
Yeah.
You know what?
Mike got us for breakfast
today mike's staying with me he got us burritos from uh the los fios cafe get out of here yeah
how did you get them i i didn't do the your trick fuck yeah cafe los fios yeah the los fios cafe is
in that water ah right yeah sweet but but the ones i'm talking about the french potato burrito i know
as i was walking home with them i was like like, fuck, I remember Jeff had a hack.
Oh, I thought that was for the burger.
No, the hack is Postmates two for one breakfast burrito.
It's funny because I was when I discovered it, I was like, I should just do it. It's just me,
but I should just do it. But they're fucking big and hearty. By the time you finish one,
like like I say, you go back to bed. Yeah, that's true.
Two wouldn't do one person
any good. Right. I only had
half. It was so dense
today, I only had half. I had the whole thing.
I'm feeling it now. See, I don't have much
of an appetite because I drink M-Drive.
I didn't even have it today, just in life.
M-Drive. Well, I almost went in for some sous-vides.
I said I was going to pick up sous-vides. I said, no,
you know what? Burrito.
Burrito. Is that all you guys got?
That's all you need.
Damn.
I saw like an annoying little TikTok girl doing a review of it.
Is it the same one that she did, Ye Rustic?
Yep.
She's like, so these are like the best wings in Los Feliz.
Here we go.
She did a very funny, because, you know, look, Ye Rustic is the best wings in LA, and I don't
blame a foodie influencer for going there.
But trying to make this dive bar seem like it's like a food experience is very funny.
She did a thing where she's like, the wings are so good.
And if you get the fries, make sure you dip them in the chili.
Like chili?
Jesus Christ.
That's canned chili.
And then a couple of weeks later, she was at fish King in Glendale,
which is a great place.
Like where you go when you like a counter,
like a,
where you go buy fresh seafood.
And she was like,
this place is fantastic.
The food's great.
And if you,
if you get fries,
make sure you dip them in the clam chowder.
She's just looking for fries.
It's a fried dip.
But seeing her,
I did sort of roll my eyes i was like oh god
but then i was also like scared because i don't want a bunch of tiktok zoomers descending on my
favorite places i know like uh harry styles sung about beachwood cafe really like he name drops it
on um what's the new album as it was up off franklin yeah up off franklin and it used to
be like this cute little tiny like cafe for the people who lived in this like, you know, a little upper class, but a little enclave.
But it was like a small place right next to the only grocery store for, you know, a mile.
And now it's mobbed by kids.
Damn.
Yeah.
Damn.
Sad.
Sad.
Damn.
Well.
Life is suffering. As the Yeah. Damn. Sad. Sad. Damn. Well, life is suffering as the Buddha would say.
That's kind of what this podcast is all about.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're sort of about that.
The middle way.
All right,
folks,
we're going to take a little break.
And when we come back,
final thoughts.
And we're back with our final thoughts on have a solo michael i like it and i'm gonna keep doing it
one would say i'd order it again i have ordered again i bought a bottle when i was in kingston
this stuff is delicious and my favorite thing is the corny breath And while we're speaking of corny products, let me put in a plug.
I love chorizo chipotle Fritos.
And you can't find them most places in America,
but I had them in Arizona.
I think that they're like a Mexico,
like an import chorizo chipotle Fritos.
The first time I ate them,
I thought they were disgusting.
I thought they tasted like liver.
And then I was like, I like liver.
Because you're the nasty man.
I'm nasty, yeah.
I had some wrap snacks, and I forget which they were, but they were so good the other day.
They were like a really hot chip.
I got to find the name of it.
Hot chip and lye.
Yeah.
Like the meme.
What is that?
You know that meme?
All girls know is something, something, eat hot chip and lie.
Yeah.
Anyway, I love this drink.
Thanks for bringing it back there, Tim.
Yep.
Abba Solo.
I recently had another thing that was corn flavored.
Blue Diamond Street Corn Flavored Almonds.
Oh.
Damn.
That sounds great. A little weird, though. A little
applied. The taste felt a little applied.
More than your
sweet chili Thai lime ones.
Oof. There's a Trader Joe
chip that looks like
a Fritos scoop, but it's like
elote street corn that's very good.
Yeah, that's the Blue Diamond is elote street corn.
I was trying to buy Abasolo
one time at Cap'n Cork, and I bought the wrong thing.
It was called Nixt or Nixta, and it's a corn liqueur that was sweet and sugary, and it was all wrong.
So wait, Abasolo is the brand.
Abasolo is...
Let me check that bottle.
You guys man.
There's not like a ton of corn whiskeys.
No.
So it is right it's uh it's uh abasolo
with a little r restricted el whiskey de mexico 100 ancestral corn the brand is the distillery
abasolo we just did a free commercial for yeah really we're stupid. Add a solo. But hey, add a solo.
