That's it. that festival it's probably the only type of festival they're doing in september wrong yeah one music slash comedy festival that's it on september 29th we're going to the el paso film festival because there's a fucking feature-length documentary about us it's premiering we're having a premiere we're gonna be there we're gonna hobnob hey Hey, oh, I love the film.

Well, what about networking? What about networking? I just want to do the art. I want to make the art. That's tough. That stuff's tough. It's difficult. Glad handing?

No, you go up to someone and say, hey, please, can we work together, please? And we work together please and they say no no no no please give me the green light we all want that that green light please green light green money i've been having that thing i don't know how you guys feel about this the the movie blood sweat and beers uh the movie that's about us yeah i watched it and i really typically don't like uh movies don't do much for me i don't really like watching film and this one sort of gave me that sort of sort of a cinephobe well typically but this movie i was watching and i was like there's a certain magic to cinema there's you can dazzle right. You can, the imagination and wonder. Yeah.

And the film and the cinema, the magic of cinema. He's saying it all. I think what my friend's trying to say here, Mike, is that there's a certain enchantment that comes over the audience. Like a spell. Cinema only existed between the screen and the observer. Otherwise, there is no such thing as cinema. You need both. Okay. What about skinema? That's

a whole different thing that I'll talk to you about off air. Before Skinemax, people would just go to a skinema. Skinemax. Alright, who came up with that? Mr. Skin? It's nasty. Nasty. Mr. Skin.

Man, Mr. Skin is a pay site now. What? It's pointless. There's no point in it. Like, Mr. Skin. Who's paying for that? Yeah, really. Who's like, is it just clips or tells you where the nude spots are in movies?

Well, it better be clips if you're paying for it. But, you know, I just checked it out as a curiosity because we joke about him so much, Mr. Skin. Yeah, we probably haven't talked about Mr. Skin in eight months, but go ahead. Well, he's just, you know, I fire up the old Mac Safari and then I got my tabs. I got Gmail, Patreon, Acast

and Mr. Skin. Always keep that one fresh. Always reload every once in a while. If you have access to Google, you probably don't really need Mr. Skin. Like, right, because you never look at a time code and then go watching a movie because probably every nude clip on Earth

has already been uploaded. Cataloged. Was this like a detail in like a movie or a TV show recently where someone's like, oh, Mr. Skin, it's... They like put a lot of money into it and it didn't work or something. Yeah, there was a bit in... Is it an Apatow movie? Pineapple Express?

No, no. Yeah, me. Knocked Up. That's what Seth Rogen and his idiot friends, their big idea for a company is to do yeah. Is to do Mr. Skin. Right. And they find out it already existed, I see. Speaking of movie databases, have you guys heard of this playphrase.me?

No. This is a free site. It's not like Mr. Skin. Anyone can go to it. It's quality pornography, 4K. This is free material. No, no, no, Mike. Although there might be porn here.

I don't know. It's a website where you type in any sentence and it pulls up movie clips that use that phrase. Really? Yeah. So if you can be like, stop that. It'll be like Attack of the Clones when Obi-Wan says stop that. When the clone is attacking, yeah. Yeah.

Or what about if there's a movie that's like Clever girl I don't know I can't think of one I just saw it the other day 3D it was a 30th anniversary Screening of Jurassic Park Jurassic Park 30 years? 30 years they said

I remember seeing that In the movie theater In Vermont And my parents saw donald sutherland in the lobby what was he doing up there he was in the movie the lobby in the lobby my parents took in a donald sutherland film but hey give me a phrase and i'm gonna plug it into this site and we'll see if it comes up with anything. Okay, how about this? Even if I had the tools, I wouldn't know how to

fix a car like this. No, not when you know. Okay. How about, Luke, I am your friend now. Tim, you do one. Wait, you just want me any phrase? Come up with something kind of weird, but like, you know.

What's up, my main man? How about that? That's good. How about catch me outside? How about now? What's up, my main man? What is up? Did you find it?

Never been said in a film. Tim, you beat the game. Wait, did you ever look for what is up, my main man? Well, what's up, my main man didn't have a match. Oh my God. Well, hold on. What is up? What about my secondary man?

Yeah, what is up? I'm getting a lot of matches. My minor man? What is up? Anyway, but I figured that's how they do like those little Simpsons memes where it's like they search for every possible moment of the Simpsons. I just was looking up something. Where was I? I was at the doctor's office and I needed to find like they needed my insurance card, but I had a picture of it on my phone.

Anyway, I looked up like, because you know you can look at the, on your photos on your phone, you can type in a keyword like dog and it'll come up. Well, I put in like insurance card or something and it showed up not just like the insurance cards but anything that had text in it had like card written on it you see what i'm saying like it's going through my photos and looking at the words on it with a fine-tooth comb with a fine-tooth comb yes but it can also do stuff i think it's even weirder without the text but you're just sort of like the beach and it sort of like the beach and it shows you all the beach photos yeah how they know that's a beach sand and surf you knew that was a beach they know everything steak on beach sea shark do you have to that as we're

rounding out as we're rounding out summer did you ever get close to that wishful desire mike thanks for asking your summer plan hope on the Patreon show was for you to eat a steak on the beach and look out at the water and see a shark. And then have like a moment of communion with the shark. No, it didn't happen. Not even close. No.

I'm not a big, I never lead the charge on the beach. I need a friend who's a beach friend. You sit right there with a friend of theirs who's going to make you the steak. Get him into it. He never leads the charge on the beach. I need a friend who's a beach friend. You sit right there with a friend of theirs who's going to make you the steak. Get him into it. He never leads the charge on the beach. I go to the beach a lot, but I just

go. Just alone? I'm not saying, hey, 12 people. A solo jaunt? All the time. Gotta go. Gotta go by. Tim, hold on. Nope. Gone. Already gone. gone keep talking I'm not going to be here don't you feel like this is a confusing

time of year because Jeff you mentioned this the dog days of summer and for certain in LA yes epitome of dog days of summer hitting right now but it can be we're entering the time of year where I lose my mind every year

when LA has this late summer and it's getting late and it's shifted and we should stop calling June summer. Cause June is like very cold and unpleasant in LA, not very cold, but you know, gloomy. And then we're just having these summers where like, we have this antiquated idea of summer that's what we learned from school, grade school. And now here we are out here living in a world with cool Junes and hot Septembers. And we're trying to push September in a box that it won't fit in. And I hate it when I hear people talking about their pumpkin spice lattes. And, oh, yeah, the Northeastern slopheads are having plenty of leaf peeping to do but i'm out

here sweating getting my ass fried off mike i was in my car today i couldn't bear it oh nasty i felt like michael douglas in falling down do you ever see that movie? No, I have not seen it. It's so hot and he's so mad, he leaves his car. I felt like him in Fatal Attraction. Oh. Yeah. LA, sometimes you catch a hot Halloween that sucks. A hot Thanksgiving. Sometimes I'm going to Thanksgiving dinner, I say,

Hey, I know, maybe I'll put my crew neck sweater on top of my button down collared shirt. No, it's 89 degrees outside. I'm wearing jorts and a tank top. It's so hot. Yeah. For Thanksgiving. I'll be taking my turkey on the veranda. I feel like out here in New York, it's like some leaves are already starting to come down.

I think at least in my head anyway, I'm like, bring on the fall. Let me pull my sweaters back out and my jeans and roll around a little bit. I ache for that. Having done plenty of beaches and pools and stuff this summer, I'm ready for the cardigan. So you guys are getting ready to get cozy. Yeah.

You want a sweater and a hot soup. I want some PSLs on these DSLs. Okay. Do you want to get into some booze news please? Can we get away from this kind of talk? Yeah.

Nasty. Improper. Hit it! Wait, tell me the name of this drink again. I keep forgetting. Keep forgetting. Keep forgetting because it's just a name. Cantarito. I know.

I got a Cantarito. Ring dong to ring do. Ring dong to ring do. I keep forgetting it was sent to us by ian bauer and if you have a booze news theme email to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com lots going on there michael mcdonald's song keep forgetting mike saying that and then to the tune of let's party by the sloppy boys ring dong to ring though which was what our friend mike mitchell said when he was one time trying to tell us to bring down the doritos and he said ring dong the ring though to an editing session what ring dong the ring though ring dong the ring though his fingers were mashed in his mouth as he finished

one bag of doritos and ring dong the ring though well that was a good one i kept it short too which is nice yeah yeah right and nobody's going to jail because they tweaked it enough. Perfect. Speaking of during the goes, I had a funny Sunday morning where I texted a picture to Jeff of this, but I woke up after partying my butt off on Saturday night. I woke up Sunday morning, look at my shorts and I see red and I'm like, oh my God, was I bleeding? Now, Mike, he's not seeing red.

He's not angry. Okay. Okay. I thought he was mad at his shorts. Oh, I was. When I started thinking of a why there would be red on my shorts, I saw red. And it's sort of on the back of my jeans, on the seat by the back pocket. And I'm like, what was I?

Did my ass bleed? What in the world? You got a ruptured rectum. Was I grinding on someone who was on the rag? What was going on here? Oh, you've seen Superbad too many times. I've seen Superbad once. That plot point is in it.

You've only seen it once? Once was enough, Tim, to be making that joke. Enough to see that scene. Yeah. I've seen every scene once. You know what it was? It was flaming hot dust. All night I was eating little bags of chips

and I was wiping my flaming hot dust on my butt. The telltale streaks of flaming hot dust grazing the butt cheeks of his khaki shorts. Clearly defined fingers wiping because I had maybe three different bags of flaming hot Cheetos, flaming hot Doritos, you name it. That's the kind of night he's having, Mike.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what's going on out here in LA. He had a three-bag night last night. Those types of nights. Three-bagger, man. Did I tell you when I was eating some of the, you know, I love the Cheetos. I like Andy Cap hot fries, but I found Cheetos hot fries. It's the chestnut.

So I had those. And in the bottom of the bag bag i found a huge nugget of just like that dust that was like condensed into a nugget it was the grossest thing i've ever said like shocked me i was so scared of it you didn't chomp it i took a bite out of it and then spit it out it was disgusting i bit it spit it out once i realized what it was i said okay i can bite this well i'm saving the um i'm saving the zapp's Voodoo Pretzel Sticks dust. Oh, right, right, right. You got big plans for this.

I got big plans for that dust. But I think it might be more of an autumnal dust. I DM'd Zapp's and I asked them for some dust. Well, I asked them for chips that we could turn into dust. I should have asked them for dust. You know, for a hot minute there, for a beautiful moment, they were selling all-purpose Voodoo seasoning in a can that is no longer available. Why would they stop that?

I was just looking at these Chester's fries, and they're funny because they don't say Cheeto anywhere. It's just like Chester. Right. It's like Chester's. Like, Chester just put out his. It's his own brand. It's clearly Chester Cheeto, and I'm wondering, there must be some weird contractual thing where, like. Do you know Chester?

Yeah. We trust Chester Cheeto. And I'm wondering, there must be some weird contractual thing where like. Do you know Chester? We trust Chester. Maybe the food is Cheeto and it's Chester is the brand. So that on the fries, it's Chester's fries instead of Cheeto fries or something. Yeah. Trump was a Cheeto man though. Right, right, right, right, right. Yeah. And we voted for him.

Yeah. I was at the store the other day. I picked up myself some some jerk chicken marinade jamaican you ever fucks with this no i fucks i fucks with it i love jamaican food i was really i've been marinating my chicken in it boy oh boy it's good i've never marinated you never i salt sure oh sure sure. I salt all night long. Before I throw it in the slow cooker. If I'm going to cook something for six hours, I'm not going to spend the previous 12 hours soaking it in goo.

Right, right. You shouldn't have to. And we shouldn't expect that. We shouldn't ask that of you. No. We should not. You mean to tell me you get a big old bag and you fill it with jerk marinade and you soak that breast? I just put it in Tupperware.

Yeah, I soak it for an hour. You're a thai guy though, right? Uh-huh. Yeah. Drumsticks. I'll cut up a breast into chunks, but I'm not grilling a whole breast. It takes too long. And that's what I had tonight, grilled chunks.

I think what we're tasting there with jerk is allspice, right? It's like clove. I think if you had lime, oil, and allspice, I think you'd be making your own jerk chicken that sounds good oh last week i was on some uh hot wing sauce that bottle's done now i've moved on to a new marinade and is this booze news by the way um just trying to figure out what we're doing oh my god we're in booze news jesus christ i thought this was food news well this is sort of it's okay because it's an unorthodox booze news anyway. This is more of a, sometimes Buddhist news, we've had corrections or clarifications.

Different delights or destructions for sure, yeah. This time I had sort of a realization and maybe I'll take you guys on the same walk that I had that shook me. Oh, this is interesting had that shook me this is interesting okay you shook me all night long acdc okay but on a serious note do you guys remember perhaps maybe about a month ago on this very pod um i don't always like to talk about all the new malt beverage products there's a lot of seltzers and hard this isn't hard that's the fact you don't like it if i remember i don't but there was one well slop heads are very uh helpful and they send me these and i

like to see everything out there but i'm the editor-in-chief abuzu so i take it all in right and then i filter early on in the pod when it was uh in its nascent form we chased every seltzer because that was the thing that was happening and we decided that was exciting we we turned our back on it a little bit for the better i scrolled through the episode list recently we had an old episode where we did like a showdown of two seltzers we didn't care about like it was like hard soda versus it was like two different bud light hard products yeah it was sour versus hard soda who cares oh yeah yeah yeah and we never did Campbell's Broth Tales, which still irks me. Remember Campbell's released some soup,

some alcoholic soup concoctions? Booze soups? Was that one one of those ones where you just couldn't get? No, it was just like it was up to you to make them. I think that we decided we weren't taking the bait. They so clearly put it out as a novelty product and we said, hey, we're not doing it to our detriment.

We've been fucked with too many times. Kind of wish we had. Well, slop. It's keep sending me everything, including all the hard drinks. I like knowing about them and then bringing the hot ones into the pod. But,

um, there was one that I brought up recently and then, uh, since then have learned. And now I'm proud of the learning that has happened. So do you remember Haritos Mexican sodas? We all like them, right? Yeah, I saw some today, Tim.

Oh, where'd you see them? Albertsons? No, the convenience store next to Yucca's. Oh yeah, Los Filos Liquors. Los Filos Liquors. I've been known to yoink a tamarind Haritos from that very spot. Anyway, on Booze News,

I said, hey, there's this new product that's hard sodas from Haritos. And we talked about there's fruit punch, mandarin, pineapple, tamarind. I was like, that's cool. That tamarind. You guys were like, oh, that's cool. They're fruit punch. We're like, yeah, this is interesting. It's hard sodas from Haritos.

And there was a word that I stumbled on because they're not calling them Haritos hard sodas. They're calling them this word. And there's a logo and the name of this product. Do you have any guesses what they're called? What? Cantoritos. Cantoritos cantoritos haritos hard soda so so the the logo yes is a clay pot with a lime sticking out and it says cantoritos and we thought that that was like a mash-up of like canteen and margarita or something. And then we've since learned from our friend Robert Holguin

and his mother in West Texas that the canterito is a delicious drink that tastes like five alive. It's tequila and a bunch of citrus juices. Ah, it's a juicy little walk around drink made in a little clay pot. It's a very juicy. It's juicy, but not flab in a little clay pot. It's a very juicy it's juicy but not flabby.

No. It's sharp sharp sharp and it's got a little grapefruit soda in there to zip it up too. That is the hopes for my ass. That's why I joined a gym. Juicy not flabby. You explain that to your personal trainer and he's like jeez I don't know how i'm gonna do this okay all i need my man is a juicy ass no flabby anyway i thought that that was the fastest sometimes you

you hear yourself on an old podcast or something you're like oh my god i can't believe i didn't know that thing back then but usually it's years but maybe within two weeks maybe even one week this product came out none None of us recognize the logo. None of us thought anything of the clay pot. None of us knew this word. And probably two weeks later, we did a whole episode about cantoritos and we loved them. And it had never clicked for any of us until a recent slop had kept sending me this. And I said, I know that word. I know that clay pot. So I i i guess what i'm doing is taking stock to say we do learn on this podcast some people think oh three years these guys haven't

learned anything we have learned we've learned yeah and we're smart learned and we can think we could think it was smarter than you we're evolving in each and every episode in every way in small ways you don't notice but you'd step back and you say hey these guys are going places yeah these guys know cantaritos now they're doing the work because we're doing the work we show up week after week doing the work yeah what do you guys do front page of the new york times tomorrow sloppy boys know cantaritos now work was done work done three brains large got juicy but not flabby all right is that it for booze news please yes that's it for booze news wrap it up that's wrapped nice short one that's from bubble bobble that's the fruit

there it is that didn't get any sort of reaction out of you at all. Me, I'm looking up something else. I remember Bubble Bobble. I can't picture the fruit. Yeah. Forget it. Why do I even try? What's the drink of the day?

But here's the thing. As we just saw with the Cantorino, maybe tomorrow I'll know all about the Bubble Bobble fruit. Maybe by tomorrow, Tim, that'll be my specialty. And we're like, oh, if you're on a, you're doing bar trivia with Tim and Bubble Bobble Fruit is one of the categories you got to have made because Tim's going to know all about it. Well, I'm not going to put pressure on you to figure it out for tomorrow. This could be in like a year, two years. Listen to this, guys.

I did bar trivia last night. How'd you do? I had the thought, Tim, I hope you contribute to your team. Not just the easy ones we all know. There were lots of easy ones we all knew, but I hope there's a moment where it was crucial for Tim to be on the team. And I got a couple, but the harder ones with the team probably would have got it without me.

But there was one, the category came up. Greek history. This next category, cocktails. Get out of here. Oh, there was a Greek one actually. And I was able to reason it out. It was phobophilia is the love of what? Phobias.

Phobophilia, love of fears. That's weird. No, yeah. No, if you're Greek, you know, going to the phobos. Phophilia love of fears that's weird no yeah no if you're great you know going phobos is like moon phobia is a is a fear right so phobophilia is a love of fear love of people who are turned on by fear oh like the people in in crash and stuff like that or people who like people who like uh scary Yeah, does that count? Yeah. Yes.

You know what? I like doing trivia, but what I hate when it happens is you mention an answer that you're not so sure on. You're like, I think it's this, but I'm not sure. And they go with someone else, and it was that. And you're like, oh, I should have spoken up more. But you don't know. This trivia also, you would wager a certain number of points points so you felt really conflicted if you were just guessing you're like oh how many points should we wager that's good that's a nice mechanic a nice game mechanic okay no here's the big moment though so so we're doing we're doing well i think

we ended up we were in third place but we didn't get a prize but the guy says this next question. What were you at a bar? Yeah, I was at E Rustic. Gotcha. The category is cocktails. Everyone looks to me. I got a cocktail podcast. I say, guys, I got it. I got it. I have it.

Confident. Cocksure. And I did. Can you ask it? Tell us the question. We can do a little quiz? Yes. Gagliano.

Uh-huh. Uh-oh. The Italian liqueur, which is featured in upcoming in today's drink of the day. Gagliano Italian liqueur, when added to a screwdriver, makes what two-word cocktail? Harvey Wallbanger. There you go, folks. Harvey Wallbanger. Nice.

Chef is on the board. Mike, you get a side point. Would have had no idea. No idea, no interest. Would rather play piano. I would have been gone. I would have been, thanks, guys. I'm out of here.

Somebody else pay the bill. Okay. Are we ready for the drink of the day? No, no. No, we're not. We're not ready. We're not, Mike. Tim, did you go on purpose to trivia or did you just get suckered into it?

I go on purpose. That sucks, too. Last night I went on purpose. But when you're just hanging at a bar and some fucking loud mouth especially the worst used to be the most obnoxious not bingo but not trivia there's another game there karaoke those hosts are annoying too though there was a loud mouth fucking guy there that would ruin my night trying to be funny like a hack stand-up that never made it and it's the worst you're just going there trying to drink and someone is like talking more than they need to you know get off the microphone i was at a karaoke or a trivia recently where the the hosts like microphone kept cutting out because it was just

like a faulty wire or something and you know the person who's doing the trivia just like shows up the bar with their ipad that they have to plug in. And like, it just, there's something about me. I don't know what it is, but like, if there's audio cutting out like that, I lose my mind. I said, you got to cut this shit out now. Yeah, it's bad. I think I also saw some people cheating. On their lovers? With each other?

Looking up answers on their phone? Looking up their lovers on the phone. No, yeah, looking up answers on the phone. Not good. Couldn't believe it. But they were doing well. Anyway. I would love to hear about the drink of the day, Mike.

Now's the time. Ah, yes. Let me start the drink of the day. Let me start with a lyric. So you're lying so low into the weeds. I bet you're going to ambush me. You'd have me down, down, down on my knees. Now, wouldn't you, Barracuda?

Today, we are talking about a drink called Barracuda. That was a song by Heart. The song Heart. Oh, right. Now, would you, Barracuda? And it goes on from there. Today we're talking about the Barracuda. And have you had?

Have you two had? I don't think so. I haven't either. And I'm surprised. I thought we had done this already. I feel like I... We've done the Paradise. I have never had a Barracuda,

never heard it other than scrolling past it on the IBA list. And I always thought like, well, I guess that must be a classic tiki drink. I just assumed and assumed it was like a Trader Vic or Don Beach. Not the case. No. And I'll tell you where it did come from. But yes, it is tiki-ish this was a drink uh created

in the late 50s by an italian bartender named benito cupari c-u-p-p-a-r-i cupari uh while working on the christopher christopher christopher colombo cruise liner so he was working on this cruise line he was a bartender then he got bumped bumped over to the Michelangelo cruise ship. This was a huge cruise ship that had seven bars in it. And he was working at the Bar Lido on that boat. And he came up with this drink. And it was basically, you know, he had like all the liquors around and his job just being on a cruise ship all day was sort of like, he was told like, hey, try to come up with something special to this bar or this drink or something. And they all live in fear of the Barracuda, I'm sure. Being out there in the deep.

Right. He named, yeah, those deep water animals. The deadliest fish, or at least one with sharp teeth. Well, he did name it after a uh the barracuda beach club in portofino oh nice and i think it was 65 where he like that was the like official like that's when we're naming this drink and in 66 but it's a fearsome looking fish we can agree that's true and they'll attack you it's a toothy little fucker, yeah. In 1966, he won the Italian

AIBES National Cocktail Competition with this drink. Now, is that more renowned than the IBA, do we think? I'm assuming so, to mention it here in the history. But, yeah, so this guy, Benito Cupari, when he was making up

the drink, he said to himself, alright, I I'm going to use Galliano. It's one of these well-known liquors that people see in all the fancy bars everywhere. So I'm going to try to use this somehow. And he was smart enough to, he's like, let me name it. Let me find like a name that's like easy to remember and sort of intriguing, like the barracuda. We don't really know that fish too much, but you remember it. Hell, you know it's got teeth, don't you? It's got teeth, don't it?

Don't it? And originally, he was serving them in hollowed out pineapple husks. And then the cruise line started making these little ceramic, pineappley-type cups that he would give them. Sure. Hey, we've drank out of some pineapple husks. That's a fun move. Mm-hmm. That's a damn, damn good move.

But let me see if there's anything. I'm just looking through this. I think that's pretty much the top stuff. It's funny. When you said Galeano, my assumption was that maybe they had come up with it because I remember they did the the harvey wallbanger the name and the whole story and the idea that there was like a surfer who banged in the walls because

he was so drunk whatever galliano just totally like they're like don draper types thought that up but i'm not seeing that but i do it does look like they got so excited that their stuff was being used in a drink that then they started making these pineapple cups and being like yes yes everyone put it in these pineapple cups please oh it's also mentioned here on differeds that uh it was served at the london and new york trader vicks oh cool okay good so it did end up being in the tiki stable it did but it didn't end up in the Trader Vic's books or whatever down the road. Because he can't claim them. Yeah. So I like this.

This is an Italian guy with Italian influences and naming things after Italian stuff. But it's a cruise ship that goes to the Caribbean. So we're getting Galliano and rum. These days, you think cruise, you think bad. People make fun of cruises. But I bet in 1965, Benito was a classy guy working on a beautiful boat, and this was high society. He was the king. This is high society stuff.

Yeah, to be on a huge ship like this, I just finished that book about the Lusitania. It was just like, ooh, wow. And to be calling the shots? Damn. I mean, the Lusitania was 1914, 15, I think. 15. But yes, to be calling the shots? Damn. I mean, Lusitania was 19, 14, 15, I think. 15. But yes, to be calling the shots, Jeff. I agree.

And Galliano. We used to come across Galliano quite a bit. Not so much these days. I know. I was worried I didn't have it. I see it now. But I was like, oh, maybe I finished. Folks, you know what?

It's the big piss-colored spike. Mm-hmm. It'll send you up into the top of the yellow bird tree. Oh, it isn't a yellow bird, isn't it? This is very similar to a yellow bird. Overall, I guess it's a pineapple yellow bird. Why don't I give the ingredients? Perfect.

Oh, yes, yes, yes. 45-milliliter gold rum. 50-milliliter Galliano. 60-milliliter fresh pineapple juice, one dash fresh lime juice. One dash. Dash. Peculiar. I don't think I need to buy two limes.

Top up with the worst tasting thing ever, Prosecco. Ooh, Mike, that must just stick in your crotch. I'm so pissed this could be this could have been a good drink pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker except the Prosecco shake well with ice strain into a chilled highball glass filled with ice and top up

with Prosecco so Jeffrey you're getting your ice garnish with pineapple and cherry optional mint sprig for additional aroma I forgot to get a mint sprig interesting that this isn't a highball. I'm seeing lots of Google images where it's in a coupe glass, but I guess if it was traditionally in this big pineapple,

then highball would make more room for the Prosecco. And you got that fizz. You want to protect the fizz. I'm doing a I'm going to do a coupe glass because I like them better and I want to not have as much Prosecco in this thing. Sure. Also, Mike, I could see you doing maybe, you know, I don't want to not have as much Prosecco in this thing. Sure.

Also, Mike, I could see you doing maybe, you know, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves here, but round two, ditch the Prosecco, put a little club soda or something. Yeah, good point. Round two, I'm making a martini. I'm on a homemade martini cake these days.

Didn't you do that last week? Yeah, but I got some, I just got some good olives, some brand new olives with like better olives. Like I was making them with olives and the juice was old

and I was like, these aren't very good. I was like, I just need new stuff. When you're pumped on your martini kit, it's fun. You're like,

oh baby. And I've been using that Empress gin, that kind of lilac colored gin. Oh wow. That's nice. I'm pumped for this because I have,

for my gold rum, I've got Havana Club and I've seen that that's probably i'm pumped for this because i have for my gold rum i've got havana club and i've seen that that's probably what they would have used in this drink so it's it's the the caribbean meets italy all thanks to benito now define gold rum what what is gold rum we've come across this before yeah tim because i was going to use appleton signature yeah that's fine that's a jamaican amber but that's fine. Gold rum is just a rum that's not white or a dark rum. So like ideally, you know, Bacardi when you buy Bacardi, there's white and gold

and the gold one is called gold and it's obvious. The Smith and Cross I have is probably, that's not dark rum. I don't think. I'll try that. No, that'll work. Smith and Cross is kind of a fancy rum that's got its own kind of bite to it, but that'll work for this, sure. I was going to go back to my Captain Morgan spice rum just to get away from that Prosecco taste.

Too spiced. Wait, what is the other one? Skull and Bones? Cross and Skull and... Smith and Cross. Smith and Cross would be more applicable than Captain Morgan for this. Oh, this other little article I was reading about, Benito Cuppari. I was reading that little article, Tim, that you sent me about him.

And it was saying, like, when you're coming up with a drink, obviously the name is important, but also the glass is important, which is why he was doing the pineapple husk. But it's like, yeah, you do have, like, a martini for me. A big part is the glass. Like, if I get a martini not in a martini glass i'm like yeah this can sure this isn't great there was a recent article in the new york times that was about how much your cocktail glass shape changes your experience and a lot of men really bump on certain glasses yeah i'm sure i definitely like i remember like i was in laguna beach one time i ordered something called cliffhanger and it came it was a little blue drink in a martini glass and I was embarrassed.

Now I drink that type of stuff all the time. But I remember being at the Tiki Tea and, like, hoping for a rocks glass and getting a highball glass and being like, ah. I do think you got to be in the mood for a second. Jeff, you don't like the martini glass because you can't walk around, but I don't like to walk around. I like to sit with my martini. He's a stationary man. It's perfect. i'll say that affects me more with beer moss grows on his back but like when i go to a fancy beer place and i'm like oh i'm gonna try this little stout and it comes in like a fragile little bulb i don't like that with beer especially i want a

homer simpson beer you're winging it around. Pacifica. Bottled by the neck. We're just like big gold cold beer with a head on it. That's what I'm after. I don't want like a little wine cup type beer. I get you. Here's an interesting thing that'll make us feel a little sad while we drink this drink. That article about Benito. Here's a fun fact.

This boat, the first boat he was working on where he invented this drink, the Cristoforo Colombo Cruise Liner. Yeah. It's sister ship. You know, boats, there's like sister ships that launch at the same time. The Andrea Doria. Oh, wow. It's a famous shipwreck that I know of from Seinfeld. George Costanza is like competing for an apartment against the guy who was on the Andorra. Anyway, when we drink these drinks, let's think about the fact that the Cristofaro Colombo lived and that boat did not sink.

And we should be grateful. Yeah. Grateful every day for a lot of stuff. Yeah. Not just boats. All right. Well, let's get this going. Get this going.

All right, folks, we're going to go make these drinks. And when we come back, first sips. And we're back with Barracudas. Let's see them. Oh, beautiful. we're back with barracudas. Let's see them. Oh, beautiful.

I used a non Luxardo cherry, Tim. A filthy that I think you got me probably a year ago. I love a big red maraschino. Fun. I already took my sip. It was spilling, so I wanted to take a sip. Mike, first let me say, we take a little

break here on the pod to go make our drinks, and then we return sort of one at a time. We're finishing the drinks. You sit back down. We kind of sit quietly as we wait for everyone to return. And Mike, you were on your – Jeff was still making his drink, and I looked at your screen, and you were sitting there on your couch, no headphones in and no – not on the microphone,

but just staring off into space like a classic dimwit. A halfwit, one might say. Did he look happy, this halfwit? I would say there were zero thoughts. It was just an empty head. It was mouth open, staring off into space. Sometimes you just gotta do that. Sips. Here we go.

Sips, sips. Mmm. Okay. Oh yeah, pineapple. Just a pinapelle. Ooh. I'm liking that Appleton. The first drink that Prosecco did not ruin outright. Yeah.

I gotta agree. Yes, because I didn't have a lot of room. I had a little tiny bit of room in this martini glass for it. Smart. And that was just enough. Even with the highball glass, I really didn't have, I probably only added like an ounce of Prosecco to this. It's just adding a little fizz. And I'm not really getting much G Galliano either until I think about it. And it just fancied.

Yeah. That's what I like with liqueurs. Like, I don't want to taste them, but I want it to feel fancy. You want to sense them. I want to whisper in my ear. When there was falernum in the Don Beach Mai Tai, the falernum shouldn't be calling attention to itself. It should just be like, something's odd. I tried this too,

right before I put the Prosecco in, just to see what it tasted like. And it did need a little something, something else. Really? Yep. Mike, that's so big of you to admit. Well, it's,

it's a big day for me. This is not bad. Very similar to the yellow bird, but, but juicier. Not flabby, juicy. I'm getting the thing Caribbean, but also Italian, you know? That's the Galliano. It's a nice yellow looking drink.

Come on. That's the SS Michelangelo way. Ooh, I'm swayed by the smell with my mint. I got a little sprig on there. Oh, you did the mint. Oh, how's your mint holding up? Remember you shocked it before you... Well, we've been kind of on a mint train lately. Woo woo. For the past three episodes. And I've been shocking the mint. Where you put it in

ice water for 15 minutes, then you put it in hot water. And the thing blooms like a little palm tree. So, the good thing is, I can buy the cheap mint, Mike. I can buy the $1.50 little bundle as opposed to the one that comes in a bunch of plastic with a bunch of dirt. But I've had to buy it every time. That's the trade. The stuff in the little dirt is funny. It feels like too much of a process or something you know it begs

to be planted is the thing and yet they tell you don't plant it well yeah we said this because they don't want competition in the marketplace yes they don't want to inspire the latest mint magnet it's your little the tag on your nikes that says don't make your own nikes hey we hope you like these shoes don't make your own it's against the rule to make your own hey you know that you know that thing it's like yeah you can't take a tag off of a mattress or something like that yeah it was a joke in peewee's uh big adventure was like you know those little things on mattresses while i cut one up i've never read one of those or like knowing what that was all about you haven haven't read a mattress tag? Well, it's like the manufacturer can't take it off or something.

It's such a Garfield and friends joke. It's like, cut that and you'll be locked up in prison for life. It's weird. But it's weird that that like has come into our brains as, you know, 90s kids watching cartoons or whatever and being like, whoa, the mattress tag is a thing. I think that they say it's not to be removed unless by the end user or something like that.

Right, right, right. Meaning like, hey, if you buy it, you can rip off the tag. Yeah. But it's just got all the info about how it's flammable and what chemicals are in it and all that shit. All right. How many bed bugs live in it? Yeah.

Have you heard that thing about how often you should change your pillows and that your pillows get heavier over time because it's just like the dust mites and dead skin make your pillow. I got to get new pills. My new pills are fucking or my current pills are shot. Just dark brown pillows. Kaput. They suck. I mean, they are. It's weird.

You keep changing the pillowcase, but then underneath is that same pillow. Yeah. That nasty pillow is getting like, every pillow has like a yellow stain on it. Of course. That's what they're. I'll sometimes like, my bed sheets are all white because I was all really excited. I was like, I'm going to do hotel bed style. So it's white sheets are all white because I was all really excited. I was like, I'm going to do hotel bed style. So it's white sheets, all white.

And I made a big deal of my hotel bed. But the thing with the white sheets, yeah, one sweaty sleep. I looked down at the pillow and it's yellow. It's got a Greek face print on it. It's fucking nasty. And let's be honest, every sleep is sweaty when you're me. My man is slick, especially when he sleeps. I had some juice.

I'm going to be sweating. I had some juice a few days ago. Tim, you're a hot sleeper, but you're pretty hot when you're awake too, my man. Thank you. You know, there's a Tempur-Pedic mattress for people who run hot. There's like a venting mattress that is light and the air is supposed to breathe through the mattress better. Ooh. I'll pass a little air through the mattress.

Oh, shoots right through the back. Now your fart's hitting the floor unfiltered. do you remember we were shooting sketches with bob for the steve allen theater before we had a tv show yeah yeah and we were gonna have him put a pillow under his shirt and it was this is back when it was like we're bringing our own uh props to set all the time and we were like bob uh so bring a pillow so you can put it under your shirt. And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be sure to bring the yellowest pillow I can find. Even he knows at his stature, it's embarrassing to reveal your pillow without a case on it. But Mike, go to Target, skip the avocado toast for one week, and you can go get all new pillows. I will.

I can and i will mike i got a couple of back sleeper pillows and i got a couple of side sleeper pillows so the slim pillow when you sleep on your side it's slim so that your neck isn't turned uh-huh very nice it's a little bit firmer a little bit thinner you know what's so funny in uh in like tv shows and stuff and they show people in bed talking their pillows are like straight up in the air and they're basically just like sitting up yeah but they're like okay good night and they just turn off the light and they kind of sleep sitting up yes that's fucking crazy man put the heads down yeah put a camera over their heads yeah face down straight down that's like they sleep like forest

and bubba that's crazy you guys ever been on cruise ship no i have i but not in a long time me too and i've heard if you're fancy you go on a small ship cruise where it's like oh like a yacht they're not even that small it's not even like a yacht. Keep out the riffraff. Yeah. But it could still even be like, I think it could maybe even be a hundred rooms, but just not like 10,000 rooms, you know? And, but yeah, no, I've only been on like carnival cruise lines and it was a bit of a zoo. Yeah. Did they have a moment in the nineties? Because I remember being like infatuated with the idea of like carnival cruise lines in like fifth or sixth

grade. They're so cheap. If you're on the East coast, like if you're taking a Caribbean cruise out of like Fort Lauderdale or in LA, if you'd go like long beach down to Mexico, you could get like a three day cruise for $179. So that's why people are going crazy for it. And also you can book bands on them. Like, you know, there's the Weezer Cruise. There's a bunch of these bands that will do a cruise. Hey, the Sloppy Boys will do a cruise. What if we just go? We should just, Mike, next time you're in LA, let's take one night out of fucking Long Beach.

They have ones that go to Baja and back in one night. We should do that. That'd be fun. You don't even have to dock. Yeah, it's a cruise to nowhere, I think they're called. So you just take a lap. We're on a cruise nowhere yes yes do we bring slop heads or nah we'll bring anybody who wants to pay we'll probably bump into some slop heads sure dan padley hell yeah you ever uh see the comedy

show on a cruise like sometimes they'll have a second city tour. There was a minute where we were like trying to do that. Yeah. It wasn't cost effective for us, but I was talking to standup comedian, Kyle Dunnigan. And he said that he was the standup on a, like a five day cruise where you do like two shows a night.

You know, you, I think you do like, you do like an eight o'clock clean show and a 10 o'clock dirty show. And you do, you do stand up shows a night you know you i think you do like you do like an eight o'clock clean show and a ten o'clock dirty show and you do you do stand up every single night and he said that he first night bombed both shows next night bombed and then he said during the course of the week he kind of became famous as like hey you're that comedian who sucks all right you're out there like i've seen the stand-up comedian like out at the pool and stuff because they're just on on the cruise with you so he said he'd'd be like taking the elevator or like walking around and people are like, hey, you suck.

All right. I had a friend in college who was a saxophone player and he played like in a band on a cruise all summer long. And he made like a shit ton of money and didn't do anything. Like he had like one or two sets a night. Didn't do anything? Mike, you don't know you're the first thing about the saxophone. You're like, for me,

that would be one stressful job. You're talking to a first chair saxophonist. Bishop Curtin High School. Well, he was saying like every single, every other person besides the entertainment had so much work to do constantly. It was like nonstop, like the waitstaff is just like nonstop work. Being the entertainment on a cruise ship sounds like a fucking dream.

If you're like 25 or whatever it is, if you're at that time of your life, it sounds like a pretty nice deal. Yeah. Improv teams do it. That's probably fun. Sure. But other than that, like so you have a you have a show at seven and a show at ten and then otherwise you're just at a pool all day yeah pretty good though those pools tend to be pretty shoulder to shoulder i remember from my two cruise experiences in like the early 2000s what i recall being the kind of fun was no surprise

here dining um that you uh you sit at the same table every night and it won't just be your party. Like once I was with friends and once I was with family, but either way, you're kind of at a long, you'll be like sitting with another family. And then that's your dining table every night. So you kind of get to know the other people at your table and that's kind of fun. And then you have the same server every night. What if you end up with a bum family well i can i can open up even the most bum family and make them have a lot of fun but you have the same server every night so you get some like inside jokes going and crackling

and here's a very funny thing it's everything's already inclusive and paid for so i remember saying hey can i have two dinners and the guy was like yeah because he's just going back in so there was one night where it was like it was like filet it was like a filet mignon like a petite filet and i was like i'm still hungry he's like i'll get you another one i just ate two steaks and uh and it's it's it's a it's a once i learned that then i was like well I'll have two breakfasts, two lunch, do everything. That's great. So Tim, when you had two steaks, did one martini take care of the zing?

Or was it a two martini job? Here's what happened. The steaks piled up too ply, too deep in my stomach. And then I drank a double martini. Zing! Oh, wow. Right, both right in the stomach. And then I drank a double martini. Oh, wow. Right in the half. Laser precision. Wow. Damn. You could go to a martial arts tournament with something like that.

Yeah? Set you up behind an IRL x-ray machine. Sure, sure. A real-time x-ray machine. And we'll let you drink. They're poking at his stomach, making sure the steaks are laid out presentationally for the x-ray machine. Yes, yes, perfect.

Things kind of slip off and they're like, hold on, hold on, they have to put it back up. I had to steer it back to the drink. Sure. All jokes aside. As is your job. Yeah. I had a little too much Galliano. All right.

How about you? No, I think mine was made to specs and was great. I think mine was pretty perfect, but it was, you know, round two, I would leave a little, see if I could maybe lose one ice cube so there's more room for Prosecco. So it's a little bit more of a bubbly high ball. Ooh, Tim, really dialing it in down to the one cube. Yeah. Don't you think it's a thing we bump into a lot on this podcast? Top up.

Am I pouring one ounce or six ounces top up what if my highball is fucking huge exactly what if i bought earth's largest highball at a novelty shop sure what if my highball isn't even really a highball but a palm tea glass from several years ago very possible. Look at me with no garnishes. This is like 10 weeks in a row that I just neglected to get the garnish. No, but Tim, you don't need all that fuss. You don't need that fuss. No, it's an audio. It's an audible audio medium. Huh?

We're an audio. We're in a podcasting. Yes, podcasting. We don't need all this stuff. But we do post the selfies on friday and i meant to say this to the listeners we have more we have a lot more listeners to this podcast than we do instagram followers or twitter followers what and a lot more than we let on but that's strange to me there's so much happened on on the Instagram that if you listen to the show and you don't follow us on

Instagram, you're kind of weird because you're not seeing any drinks. There's stuff going on there. We're sharing stuff. Hey, I went live on Instagram last week and talked for two hours, two hours. Yeah.

Yes. I had a ball. I was, I had to kill some time. I was kind of stuck where I had two hours and I had to kill. I said, maybe I'll talk to some slopheads about Sonic Ranch. At the time of my life, wonderful people out there. That's cool.

You have some time on your hands. You say, let me spit bars. Let me do my thing. Yes. So how did you do that? Did you bring some people in to talk to you or did you were just answering questions on that? You just go live and they start popping up. They start requesting to chat with you.

And I didn't accept any of those. But they start asking questions and I go off the dome. Nice. And Tim, how did you even see the questions through the flurry of hearts? It was hard. The next question is pink round shape. Oh, that's another heart. Another question is round two-mounded pointer.

Oh, that's a heart. Oh, that's a heart again. Yeah, two-mounded pointer. Oh, that's a heart. Oh, that's a heart again. Yeah, two-mounded pointer. Right, right, right. Right, right, right, right. All right, well, I am itching to make another one and kind of like make up for past mistakes. Yeah, it's time. Why don't we take a little break and then, oh, the listeners could listen to the ads.

Perfect. Oh, that's actually great for them not the patrons they don't have ads but all right they pay a fee that's right we should mention if you want to be a patron you go to patreon.com slash the sloppy boys you plunk down ten dollars and you get to skip the ads to get well that's to get to get lennon and to get the ad free to get the whole you open up the world tim but if you want to get the ad free. You open up the world, Tim. But if you want to get the blowout, it's only $5 a month. You get to hear us. What did we do this week?

We watched Dark Side of the Rainbow. We synced up Pink Floyd with Wizard of Oz and we discussed it. That's cool content. And if you think, oh, I only like the cocktail stuff, you're basic. You don't know what you're talking about.

You're wrong. You're mid. You're mid. You're mid as fuck. You don't know what you're talking about. You're wrong. You're mid. You're mid. You're mid as fuck. You don't know shit. Alright, folks. Listen to the ads. Open up your ears. Open up your wallets. And we'll see you

back here. Open up your mind and your heart. And your mind and your heart. And we'll see you back here in a jiffy. In a jiffy. I feel like I get backed into saying a jiffy. Just because your name's Jeff, so it probably comes to your mind. No one forced you to say it.

You chose to say it, and you're projecting. Tim, give me a synonym. Jiffy. In a few. In a blink. In a skippy. Oh, yeah. They're going to love that, Mike.

Yeah, folks, we'll be back in a blink in a skippy oh yeah they're gonna love that mike yeah folks we'll be back in a blink we'll be back in a valvoline so And we're back with round two of the Barracuda, the most feared fish in all the deep. What about the piranha? It is the most feared fish in the deep. Yeah. Wait, is it piranhas or barracudas that gang up

and a bunch of them are going... That's piranhas for sure. But it only takes one cood. Cood me once, shame on me. Ron me twice. Who? Hey. That cood came after me.

I got caught by a Ron. Chase me into a pack of Rons. I got ronned by a coon. So a barracuda exhibited piranha-like behavior on you. Yeah, just took a little nip. I got RONed by a coon.

I got RONed by a bunch of coons. Alright, alright. Of course that's not happening. Of course we're just joking folks look at look at what the uh empress gin martini looks like looks like a uh looks like a uh one of my favorite gatorade froth one of my you know what it looks like uh fucking aviation. Oh? Remember that cocktail we had? The Aviator? It's that Empress, it's that Empress, what's that?

1908? Right. The Empress 1908's the purple, and that's in the aviation cocktail. There's also an aviation gin. Oh no, but I'm thinking of the cocktail that has creme de violet in it. That is the aviation for sure. For sure. But Mike, it's so funny to see like

a beautiful purple martini glass with that dull green olive sitting at the bottom of it yeah quite a clash um what'd you guys do for round two i'll tell you i did no prosecco more lime juice and is the result good packs a punch nice as for me i had less cubes dim was leaving the wheels staring i thought there might be more than packs of punch, but no, it packed a punch. Oh, punch is the big thing. Well, I'm going to elaborate on final thoughts, but Tim, go ahead. Go ahead.

Okay. Well, I had less cubes so that I could top up with more Prosecco. Let's take a sip. The anti-dots. See, now this, to me, this turned it into like a brunch drink now this is bubbly and tastes mimosa ask um i maybe oh maybe overdid it maybe i enjoy a more tiki flavor but still delicious refreshing michael i did a martini and i'm enjoying it. Right on. When you shake up a pineapple juice, you get a certain texture, don't you? It's not quite a egg white.

It's not quite a whiskey sour. It's a froth. But there's a viscosity to that pineapple juice when you shake it up. It's always welcome. And also, I like being on the mint train. Sure. And so I got to give a Barrracuda a glowing order again oh i too would or of course i made a different drink for the second one but i'd order it again sure a different time and and

that is surprising because the prosecco i would have to tell the bartender hey put it in a smaller glass and don't use so much fucking prosecco. You understand me? Because if I get too much Prosecco, I'll burn this place down. So you're grabbing them by the scruff of the neck and you're pulling them close. Yeah. That's what I would do. When I order these, I take a $1 bill. I rip it in half. I hand it to the bartender.

And I say, you're going to get the other half when you don't use too much Prosecco. I'll say this too. I just got to get me to the garnish. I got my pineapple and my cherry. So my new thing is get me to the garnish. Get him to the garnish. Get him to the Greek. Like get him to the Greek. Yeah. Gotcha. So that'll be a new

classification. I forgot that the get him to the Greek character was the same guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It's a franchise. I forgot that the Get Him to the Greek character was the same guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It's a franchise. I never saw that movie. I mean, I saw Sarah Marshall. All This Snow. Very good, Tim.

All This Snow. What was that from the movie? Russell Brand's character. All This Snow. That's the character's name. Oh, I was going to say, Jeff, punch it into your website and see if we can find what movie it's from. I'm kidding. Don't do that.

You will waste not only your time, but my time. Well, what about the listeners? Their time means very little to me. The listeners want long podcasts, weirdly long podcasts. They like long. I like short, short. Me too. Keep it punchy.

Yeah. Who didn't give final thoughts or are we all clocked in? I, I, I love this drink. I think it should be more popular than it is. It's when you think about, you know,

you can, you can afford space for one little weirdy Galeano. But other than that, we're talking about like rum and pineapple and, and lime. This is, this should be in the repertoire for a lot of people you know what it's the champagne it's the prosecco because people don't have it around very often i i mike i have to look you square in the eyes and say i

disagree because people are making spritzes they're making aperol spritzes they're making hugo spritzes they're making mimosas at home mimosas at home? Mimosas at home? Yes Mimosas at hoses? I didn't say that I did not say that You said that. Mimosas at hoses? Mimosas at hoses? Well hoses is not a word I don't know what that

I'm not sure what that means Tim I'm gonna have to ding it I'm gonna remove myself from the situation That seems toxic That's pretty weird that seems toxic that's pretty weird this seems toxic to me you're kind of weirding me out i'm gonna ask you to step down step off and down and stand back and stand by proud boys stand down no jesus people were like he told the proud boys Boys to stand by.

He wasn't saying jack shit. He's a moron. They're all morons. Fuck you. Well, hold on. I got more to say about Galeano. Because that shit is everywhere and people need to use it up. They buy the piss spike.

They don't know what to do with it. I know because I'm one of them, Mike and Tim. You got one? Oh, it's fun when you're in a bar. Walk into a bar. Look along the back wall. Look for the big yellow piss spike. It's there. Nobody's drinking it.

We don't mean like, oh, it's yellow. A lot of drinks are yellow. This is the most cartoonish piss color you could ever come up with. And it is in a big spike. And the other fun thing about it, I noticed. If you were going to come up with one, this would be it. Yeah. If you were making a movie and you're like, we can't use real piss they would use galliano

yeah we'll have the galliano dribble onto the principal's head yeah yeah we can't splatter adam driver in real piss use galliano adam driver is the principal in a wacky comedy but no folks it's also you you'd think, oh, it's one of these weird liqueurs. What is it? What is it? A 40 proof? No, it's like 80, 90 proof.

It's way up there. So you're going to need it when you make your drinks. And so that's why, you know, you got to make the bear crude part of your repertoire. Yep. This is very good. I really like it. And the Prosecco and the Galeano fancies it up.

You like a little drink that's a little fancy. Got a little thing going on to it. When you're making drinks for people in your home, you want that one fancy ingredient that makes them say, hey, you're an interesting man. Oh, I had him all wrong. He's not a fucking

dolt. I saw him on the Zoom screen looking off with flies collecting in his mouth, but he's not a fucking dolt i saw him on the zoom screen looking off with flies collecting in his mouth but he's more than that flies collecting but he owns a bottle of galliano so maybe there's something to him so we don't know what to think of this proglodyte the flies were bathing in Italian liqueur. I made yellow bird drinks for my family two Thanksgivings ago, and they went over well. The Galeano, but nobody knew what the Galeano was.

Did they get up in the tree? I was the only one up in the tree. I was like, come join me! They're like, Mike, you gotta not drink so much. That's our show. Follow us on social media, at The Sloppy Boys, where we release these recipes ahead of time.

The weekly Sloppy Boys blowout, the good show that we put all our time and care into. And also the bonus bonus, the monthly show, Questions for Lennon, hosted by, well, John Lennon himself. Oh yes, and certainly John Lennon will be there too! That's him! Wow, the

real guy. Good episode, guys. Very good. Great work. I wanted to specifically, now that we're not recording, I want to tell you both, you did a really good job on this episode. You really knocked it out of the park. Oh, man, thanks. That's a lot different than what you usually tell us after the...

Well, you finally had a good episode. 151 episodes. Hey, was this at 151? 151. Whoa! You could have done the fire breath episode. Yeah, I know, I know. If we were fucking smart, we would have done that,

but maybe next week we will. Let's do that soon. Let's do a blowout where we breathe fire. Ooh, that's a great episode. It's alcohol related, too, because you use spirits, do you not? You use Bacardi 151, my boy. I do believe you do. I saw Gene Simmons do that with my own eyes.

But let's not talk about that. Let's talk about what the three year anniversary is. What are that? 52 times three. We're coming up on 156, right? Wow. Wow. That's coming up, baby. Coming up. What should we do? We'll think about it. We'll do something special.

Three drinks. Three drinks? We should do these shots called the Three Wisemen. It's like Jack, Daniels, Jim Beam, and something else. Johnny Walker? And just get fucking trashed. Something like that. Yeah, that's fun.

That's great. And we're sort of the Three Wisemen, too, if you actually stop to think about it. In a way. I don't have time. In today's go-go society, I don't have time to stop and think about it. But if I were to, yeah. Okay. Cool. Cool, cool. And then for the blowout,

we'll watch the movie Three Kings. The David O. Russell film. David O. Russell? Yep. It'll be... That's what we'll do. The Iraq heist movie? Or maybe we should do like Naked Gun 33 and a third. Now we're talking. Goodbye. Bye. Peace. Love ya.

Give it up for your boys. Give it up for your boys. Give it up for your boys. Always.
