Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys, where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love, and the integrity is timeless. I'm Jeff Dutton, along with Mike Hanford. Hello Jeff, you took me by surprise there. We're starting right off here. And Tim Kalpakis. What is up, Timeless Stylies? And we're your hosts. You kind of promoted Timeless Integrity from post-intro tagline to tip-top tagline. Yeah, top of the show.

Get it done. Even before he of the show. Get it done. Even before he introduces, amazing. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. How you two doing? Good, Mike. Living large. I just took a train. I was coming from Massachusetts, took a train home,

and wouldn't you know it, the train was an hour and a half late. No, trains, the whole point of trains is to not be lame. I thought that was the thing with the city. took a train home and wouldn't you know it the train was an hour and a half late no trains the whole point of trains is to not be lame i thought that was the thing with the city the trains run on time yeah no well this this wasn't a subway this was a amtrak train and boy i've had a few problems with them in the past it's a nice train though i've ridden that uh you're coming down from new england on amtrak it's a classy way to ride. Yeah. And it's not so nice when, you know, I'm trying to get sing-alongs going, holiday sing-alongs going, and everyone's like, shh, be quiet, be quiet. What?

Be quiet, be quiet. Yeah. Where's their spirit? Ha. And then I go to the next car. Ha. On the first day of Christmas. Get out of here.

It's a quiet car. If you want to get the people on board use the rhythm of the train when you say everyone let's get a boom yeah that's good and then they all kind of go along with it and they say hey i'm mike and you can kind of actually honestly rap and i've got holiday fever in a major way use the space mike, it's a train holiday rap. Yes, I know. I mean, Jeff, you sound like me screaming at the top of my lungs of these people. It's not that weird.

It's a train holiday rap. Okay, so we know what holiday rap is, yes. Right. Sure, everyone, yeah. And we know what train rap is. What's so different here? Yeah, but it's a train holiday wrap it's not not uh dissimilar from the fall highball now wait everyone it's a train holiday wrap i felt that way uh we had a recent uh episode of our patreon show the blow, where Mike said his favorite winter thing was, it was like one too many words.

It was like quiet night. Night, quiet night walk, snow falling or something. No. Yeah. What it was like four words. Calm night walk. Yeah. Snowing.

Serene night walk alone. Alone, please. Oh, Mike, did you know that you're looking at two hookah guys yes now what is this all about we're hookah guys now hookah is life meaning you own them or you go to a hookah bar we did them one time we go to a hookah bar. Was it fun? I don't know. Jeff, it was my first time. Had you done it before? I had one in college that we used maybe five times. I got to say, I thought it was great.

I always thought hookah was for people that... I guess I thought that you just hold it in your mouth and get the flavor and spit it out. And it's just something you're doing to try to look cool. you just hold it in your mouth and get the flavor and spit it out. And it's just something you're doing to try to look cool. But, um, you know,

I, we looked at the menu and there was like all these like radical raspberry type things, too many flavors. And then we were like, what we kind of want it. We were like, what's like a popular one or what do you recommend? And the guy was like,

uh, minty melon madness. And he didn't really get the idea of like, it's our first time. Like what's an easy, like we want the original, but we did minty melon madness and he didn't really get the idea of like it's our first time like what's an easy like we want the original but we did minty melon madness and what i didn't know is i was taking big ass rips of this for like 30 seconds filling my lungs spitting it out and getting really lightheaded but here's what was great you couldn't overdo it because you would get your skin would buzz and you get a

little lightheaded for 10 seconds and then you're back to normal so it's not like weed where you'd be like oh man i got too high or even cigarettes where you're like i'm gonna barf yeah right yeah cigarettes you would just make me sick at this i haven't had a cigarette in forever um so you just hold it in and breathe it out yeah yeah but Yeah. But you, you pass around this tube and then, uh, at the place we went, they had like, everybody had their little plastic cap, like tip. Oh yes, yes, yes. COVID and such. So you could just pass around the one hose, but the thing was tall.

It's like a big ornament that sits in the middle of the table and it's bubbling, bubbling. You taste the minty melon madness and you take a big suck and you blow out this big milky cloud it was everybody loved it we sorted it in as a joke but we're like this is fantastic we gotta come back how many people did you go with i know i thought it would just be a goofy gimmick uh we at that it was a birthday party so there's a bunch of people around but we sat at a table with six people because i think they kind of like recommend they gave us like six tips but you got more you have 600 tips yeah because I think they kind of like recommend they gave us like six tips. But you've got more.

You've got 600 tips. Yeah, plus you have a bunch of people that, you know, you have that big old thing going. A bunch of people swing by. They say, hey, what's going on over here? And you say, take a tip. I bet your waiter wanted 600 tips. Michael.

I mean, 650 cent tips. Oh, okay. $300. Still not bad three three hundred bucks for a couple of morons drinking sipping down a hookah drinking air it was a lounge or like was at a bar and then they had hookahs it was desert rose in los feliz the place the place that everybody walks by but nobody goes it's got the most impressive like uh exterior ever it's like a huge stained glass rose people like that looks weird opulence yeah it is crazy i always thought hookah places were like people would go in there thinking they're getting weed or something and it's like oh it's not exactly what right uh we thought it was i liked it i thought it was better

than weed as far as like a social activity because if that were weed i would just didn't get really i would fall silent but instead i would say hey who could be this hey what's your favorite flavor good conversation starter not me i would take a guitar off the wall and just get the vibe right if yeah it was wheat hey here's what i did to complete the theme i i was talking to bartender and i was like hey you got anything here that uh that i could only get here at desert rose and he was like no not really i was like okay we got anything on you got anything on theme like uh what kind of food you serve here it's like mediterranean and i was like give me a mediterranean

spirit he's like and i was like you know like uh you got any like sambuca or or uh uzo but like but more in line with desert rose's signature style and and then he did he looked at the back wall and he pulled out this giant blue bottle of this lebanese liqueur and of course it tasted like black licorice uh but i got on the rocks and they topped he topped it with water and it got all cloudy and i was kind of sipping on good and plenty taste all night. Oh, that's interesting. I like when you go to a restaurant and somebody,

you're like, give me, what can I have that's kind of, or you have a bartender's like, I kind of want something, this, this, and this, and they figure it out for you. But I also like when you go to a place and you say something like that and the person's like, ah, the chicken wings are good. Like they don't really,

they're like, this is just what I Like, they don't really... Yeah. They're like, this is just what I like. We don't really have a signature style. This is just my hammock job between bigger jobs. I think I overshot it by saying, pour me something that I can only get at Desert Rose. Give me the night of my life. He's like, well, we can put it in a Desert Rose cup for you.

And furthermore, let's do it on your dime. Yeah. Hey, hey, free shots, maybe? I'll give you the Desert Rose tap water. You can only get that here. Hey, hey, first time hookah. Free shots? On you?

Yeah, maybe free shots. You can do it if you want. Oh, boy. Oh, brother. And isn't it just like that sometimes where do we go or where we said hey and this round is on the house and the bartender laughed and laughed and then that's funny didn't do it didn't take the bait and then didn't do it it It's sad when they resist. Yeah. I thought that she chuckled so hard.

I was like, we might have done it. No, she may have actually fallen for it. She's going to give us free drinks. I love a free drink. Well, should we get into some booze news? Yes. Bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, bip. Booze news. Hit it.

This is an old one. I feel like a chef. Oh, no. I feel like a chef. I feel like a chef when I'm cooking in the kitchen. I feel like a chef when I'm cooking in the kitchen. I feel like a chef when I'm cooking in the kitchen.

I feel like a chef when You are cooking in the kitchen. I feel like a chef. You are cooking in the kitchen. That's it. Wow. I feel like a chef. Stadium mix was sent to us by Dan Padley. And if you have a booze news team, email it to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com.

And if you want to befriend Dan Padley, subscribe to the Patreon, join the discord and Dan will sit you down and show you how to play guitar. I should have known it was Padley. So we should say that that was from the demos and memos episode of the blowout where we played, where we played back a little snippets from our phone, where we sing ideas to ourselves.

Uh, you know, I was saying that was a half idea. Yeah. A half idea. Mike sang into his phone and Dan Padley has now turned it into a big stadium rock song. Well,

we, and what we were, when we were talking in that episode, in that Patreon episode, please subscribe to hear fun stuff like that. We all were talking about how, when you're, you know,

putting those little dumb notes in your phone, you kind of do sing at half volume because you're maybe in bed about to go to sleep or something. And you don't want your neighbors to know you're a guy who sings. Yeah. It's so funny to hear like the, the like secret quiet voice memo, but then also stadium.

Yeah. And you're like, all right. All right. Very well done pad man. The pad man. You can stick around for another week. You're not getting voted off.

I got to get to a Padley show. Each time he's come to New York City, I either had COVID or I think wasn't here. I saw him at Hotel Cafe. He's a wonderful guitar player. Yeah. Oh, that's a hip spot. I saw John Legend there once watching. Watching somebody.

Chrissy Teigen? No, that would come later, I think. This is before he and the Teague got together. Oh, wow. Damn. He and the Teague. You being the Teague. You being the Teague.

Legend, the handman and the Teague this fall. Speaking of John Legend, I was just watching our friend Dave Ferguson writes for That's My Jam, the Jimmy Fallon lip sync show. I was watching an episode the other day and there was like Blake Sheldon was on. Is that his name? Blake Sheldon? Yeah. Blake Young Sheldon. Blake Young Sheldon.

And then Kelly Clarkson was on and they were razzing each other and I was like, I don't think you have a good rapport. Were they on The Voice together? And then who was the guy you were just talking each other and I was like they have a good rapport. Were they on The Voice together and then who's the guy you were just talking about Mike that you saw at Hotel Cafe? John Legend. John Legend was there and then also

Ariana Grande was there and I watched the whole episode without realizing it was an episode where they had the judges from The Voice all on together and I was just watching being like celebrities, they all really get along. They got that certain thing. They all know that they're celebrities

and they talk about celebrity stuff. That was, I think that was the first episode of that show because I saw that one too. Oh, it was a rerun you're saying? Because I just watched it mere moments ago. Oh, on TV. The Tomb. All right, well, what show is this? I tuned out. That, on TV. The Tomb. All right.

Well, what show is this? I tuned out. That's my jam. Written by Dave Ferguson. With Dave, yeah. Okay. Want to get into some booze news? Yes, please.

Yes. This was something that came across my Instagram feed that caught my eye. Instagram Reels, which I prefer over TikTok. I like Instagram Reels, you know, really, um, the four, I don't look at stories.

I don't do any other grid posts. I just look at reels. But, um, this was, uh, I saw a little video, viral video about a themed bar that had me saying, that's a bar theme that I would like to,

uh, see more of. And I'm going to show you guys, boom. I just texted you this video so you can watch along um getting out the mobile this is a bar in huntington beach orange county california right on the beach of you know surf city usa it's called pierce summit ski lodge and it's. This is sort of a thin veneer. I think it's sort of a pop-up that's stuck around. But this is a bar with an 80s apres ski vibe.

You know, you follow apres ski on Instagram? No, you were talking about it in one of our earlier episodes, though. But this is a place. I don't know how long this will even last. It just looks like the front of a hotel or something. But they serve fondue. They got drinks called like the Snow Bunny and stuff like that. Oh, shot skis.

Yeah, those are fun. Shot skis are fun. Yeah, shot skis. And then they got fake snow on fans blowing. So it falls on your head while you're getting in your drink. It falls in your drink. Great. You got to pick up the paper snow.

Yeah, but what if you like drinking paper? Oh, cool. I'm drinking plastic. Plastic. Paper. Plastic. Plastic. I was trying to say PVC.

PVC shavings. It looks cool. Tim, we got to go. You know what we need to do? We need to go real skiing, real lodge skiing sometimes. Yeah. Let's go to Mammoth. Tahoe.

Let's go to Mammoth. Ooh, that would be fun. Lake Tahoe. I'm talking Aspen. Oh, baby. I mean, that would be so funny if we went to Aspen. It would be Dumb and we went we went to aspen it would be dumb and dumber i guess but um yeah i i was also just thinking like i like this as a theme and then i was just thinking like we're light on themes if you like kitsch and you know i love tiki bar but isn't it kind of

weird that like tiki is kind of the only kitschy theme that you consistently see everywhere that that level of taking a big swing i was just talking to uh uh neil campbell of campbell's corrections his his brother ian and uh ian's uh wife courtney were in town and we were talking about remember when the sloppy boys played seattle they brought us to a bar that was like like a sci-fi bar and almost oh yeah oh yeah i was like hey remember that great tiki bar you brought us to and they're like i didn't bring you a tiki bar brought you to uh it was like a kind of jetsons-esque or it almost had the feeling of like a crashed spaceship or something like that but yeah it was like so well realized it felt like it was would have been like star wars land at at dis Wars Land at Disney or something.

Even the seats lit up. This was before the show, right? Yeah, before the show. But it also had a big, tiki sort of volcano rock thing, like waterfalls. It had tiki drinks. Right. That's what confused me. But I think even that was more fitting. It was meant to be a little more like mid-century space age age like what do you call like past futurism kind of a vibe um space age stuff but just in general like you know the stupid austin powers off brand

off austin powers bar in glendale or i mean what's the shitty beetle juice i guess bigfoot lodge is in atwater and that's got like a pacific northwest that's good yeah yeah that's fun that's probably the closest we have in la to the ski lodge theme clifton's has a little bit of that too clifton's was the coolest and that's closed right oh yeah it was open up it opened up and then closed again damn like for good i think oh they had the seven seas way upstairs but then they did have like a Redwood bar in the middle. Yeah. It was very like wilderness National Park vibes like Bigfoot Lodge.

But it's funny. Yeah. With the tiki thing, it's funny. There's like tiki bar. There's Irish bar. And then there's sports bar. Like those are the kind of the big ones. Right.

I think of. And then pop. I'm choking to death here. That's all right. That's okay right that's okay what's going on back there we can find a replacement the number of uh of irish pubs is a little too hot you know like the molly malone's and the and there's just a lot of those that are very similar and it would be nice that's why i like like tam o'shanter is a scottish pub

and even that you're like look at that wow hey variation on a theme all right love that and uh downtown in the in the arts district there's the uh escondite or escondite is a chicago theme that's pretty fun oh that's pretty funny just pick another city like it's in la that's chicago's Chicago themed. I went to, you know what I do? I do like going to a bar and this isn't all the time, but you know when you go to a bar with friends and you sit down at a table and it's not like, it's not like you're ordering food. You're just drinking at a table. Yeah.

That's the, that's the rustic sort of setup. Yeah. Yeah. Well, but then you're eating the wings too. Yeah. You are eating the wings. Yeah. So you're, yeah, you got but then you're eating the wings, too. Yeah, you are eating the wings. Yeah, yeah. So you're, yeah, you got it

where you're not eating. Okay. That is strange, though, that I've been to Rustic 10,000 times that I've maybe sat at the bar like three times. Yeah. I've sat there,

I think I was there with one other person like we were watching a football game or something. If you're watching a game, I guess, yeah. There was a Norm MacDonald joke. I forget the exact thing. I'm going to butcher it. But it was something like You go out drinking with friends

You sit at a big oak table And nobody speaks for four hours Anyway that's funny Normally when we go out to get drinks I don't want to sit at a table There will generally be somebody in the party Who's just like so are we getting food are we sitting down it's a little too official i i don't want to be locked down i want to be i don't want to be booth locked i'm up i'm going i'm

talking to these people i did a exactly i'm with you jeff because you will you you're like me jeff once you hear that music wait a minute what's going here whoa whoa minute why am i dancing on the bar i want to stop um please don't hate me bartender i think if it's like if it's like three or four close friends going then then i don't mind like sitting at a table but um jeff at this very like birthday party we're just talking about with the hookah we ended up at a table but when you first walk walk up, let's say you're meeting, it's a birthday party, you're meeting a bunch of people. You walk up and people are seated at a long table. You're kind of like, no, I don't want to sit at a long table.

I got to sit next to one weirdo. One jagger. I had a little birthday thing last month at Dave & Buster's. I invited a bunch of people and said, let's just go to Dave & Buster's and cut loose. And we got a table and ordered a bunch of apps and drinks and stuff. And then as people spread out into the gaming, the waiter came by and said, hey, let's settle up. Who's going to pay for all this stuff? So I paid for it.

And it was only 400 bucks. And then people throughout the night were like how much do i owe you and they're popping in money but but somebody friend of ours sent me 300 i was like what are you doing damn that's a good friend she was like oh somebody said it would be like a thousand i was like yeah but still you weren't there long enough to pay $300. Somebody said it would be. Keep the money. Take the money and run, Michael.

No, I texted her. I said, take it back. She said, you know what? Maybe it wasn't $300. Maybe it was $200, but still. Still a lot. What a whopper. Too much.

And she's listening now, too, and you know who you are. And you should feel fantastic about your generosity yes you should claire the uh danes that's right i have well she's been coming to my birthday parties ever since i was a boy oh my god danes on the brains god damn things on the brains danes on the brains you know there's sometimes in life you got danes on the brains other times you're on the jilly wagon you'll feel like okay go back and forth okay no but just before we wrap it up i wanted to say jeff we should go check out the ski lodge in huntington but also i was thinking about what i would drink there there's a lot of wintry drinks like hot toddies and spiked ciders and hot chocolate or that type of stuff but you know when you go to descanso gardens they put a little frangelico in your hot

chocolate what's that i've never heard that uh it's a very sweet liqueur that i don't even know hazelnut maybe oh tastes a little bit like nutella um that'd be good but i was thinking if i were at an apres ski 80s ski lodged vibe what would i want to drink i associate that with beer like light beer from like 80s and 90s commercials and stuff so that's probably right but i was thinking tap on the rock a drink that we should invent one of us maybe i go in the test kitchen or maybe maybe it's a collab and we think on this together is a wintry ski thing. That's like, I'm imagining,

remember the York peppermint Patty commercials and the, the, someone would jump up on the table and be like, I'm swooshing through the mountains. Yeah. The blast of mint. I made me think mint. Maybe there's like some update of the grasshopper or something that can use

some of the creme de menthe that we all have left over from the grasshopper and and the stinger but maybe it's bigger maybe it's on the rocks it's not a dainty cocktail but some minty so you're not thinking hot at all you're thinking you're thinking match the tone of the environment with something cool and crisp something that makes you feel like you're at the tip top of the mountain and the wind is whipping by you know you're thinking you want froth you want a frothy blustery yes it's funny just to say adjectives of snow be like that's the type of drink you want yes swirling sort of yes if you had something creamy it might make it too heavy if you try to bubble it up like a highball it's a little weird to have like a bubbly mint drink yeah that. That's weird. No,

but there's maybe it is even just giving into like, Hey, we haven't done a mudslide on the show yet, but maybe a minty mudslide. Oh, that'd be good. Cause that would be kind of like a, kind of like a,

a thin mint. Oh, that's good. Hey, you know, a mudslide in the Alps, you call that an avalanche. Don't you?

Ooh, that'd be a good name for a drink. Oh, winter mudslide. What? A avalanche. Actually, you call that an avalanche, don't you? Ooh. That'd be a good name for a drink. A winter mudslide. What? An avalanche. Actually, you can't. It's probably like saying fire in a theater. You can't say avalanche at an Opry ski bar. Yeah, right, right. People run for the hills and dive under tables.

But you can say white mudslide. White mudslide. Speaking of avalanches, I told you about that thing that happened to my friend Tristan? Um, yeah, but remind me. He's a listener of the pod. Hey, Tristan. Tristan, what up?

Yeah. Tristan's a ski patroller at Snowbird in Utah. And he's the guy who goes out in the morning to like ski around make sure that there's that everything's cool um and then one morning a few years ago he was up there and there was an avalanche and he got piled in snow and he temporarily died he got covered yeah i did hear about this and and he i think he had one of those like uh call for help buttons around his neck or something and he started doing the breathing exercises from his training to savor the oxygen that's like around him. And then he passed out and then he came to, and then he had had moments of being a dead guy.

Isn't that fucking nuts? He came to like in the hospital or it came to in the snow. He came to, I believe it was like up there with ski patrol medics, like pumping on his chest. Jeez. Can you imagine passing out and then coming to still in the snow and how much of a bummer that would be? Still in the very same spot.

He uses all the rest of his oxygen to be like, fuck, I came back to life too soon. Man, that's scary. I came back to life too soon. His final breath is a big carbon dioxide. You had told me that story before too, but it's only really hitting me now how serious it was. I think last time you told me, maybe my mind was elsewhere. I was like,

Oh yeah, that's cool. No, it's, it's crazy. I mean, I tell like a Ripley's believe it or not. And like, uh, his wife, Kristen does not like when i'm like hey remember when tristan died

and she's like yeah that's really sad it's my husband and i'm i'm fortunate that he didn't die he's a great friend yeah that's great so was it was there a saint bernard involved with liquor around his a little a little whiskey barrel or under his chin if we invent our minty drink maybe the saint b Bernard's can bring it around. Yeah. It doesn't count unless you suck it off of a St. Bernard's little jug. Served in a St. Bernard's neck jug. Jeff, interesting word choice. Come on. I have one of those little barrels. Remember I aged some rum in a tiny wooden barrel let's get the dog out of the equation get the little rum barrel with a neck strap and you just put it around your

friend or you put it around yourself and there's a straw that goes into it there you go that's even now we're talking that way you don't need all these other people updated foam dome do we have boo what was the booze news it It was a ski lodge. The aesthetic is, is viral. Oh yes, yes, yes, yes.

There's a ski lodge. That video was viral. I should have said that it was a viral video. I sent you. Is that it for booze news? Wrap it up. Damn it, more to say.

Wrap it up. Wrap it up. Okay. The drink of the day. D.O. the D. The King Charles you've had? Never had or heard. No. Never heard nor had.

I've heard of the King of England, the current King of England, yes. I was there at the coronation. That's very worldly of you. Probably the reason you haven't heard is this thing is brand new um uh came on my radar jessica tipped me off to this drink because it was just on a very recent episode of southern charm on bravo have you seen that show okay no uh yeah a couple years ago i bet the cast is all switched out uh well it's shep and the boys, I can tell you that much. Shep, I remember Shep. He was kind of lazy.

Not lazy, but just kind of a chill dude. Yeah, they're kind of like Peter Pan complex party boys of the South. Yes. Whereas we are the party boys of the West and North. Of the West and North. It's sort of like, it's set in charleston right so it's like those real housewives shows but it's about some dudes in charleston uh south carolina but um there was this episode so i tuned in and i watched this one episode it is a good booze show overall um like because it's sort of about how these guys are like, continue to, I think Shep is like 43 and,

um, all right, Shep, they, these dudes continue to party. So they do show like, so if someone orders a bottle of wine or orders a beer, makes a cocktail,

like it stays in the edit. It's like a, it's like a boozy, kind of a boozy show. But, um, in this particular episode from just a couple weeks ago um the the the hook very much like producers like pushing a a thing to happen on the show not like one of the episodes where

just something organically happens but they have they're having their annual fancy gentleman's dinner and they do a british they're they're doing a british theme it's just like four guys sitting around a table but they're like it's our annual gentleman's dinner um and this year they've chosen to do like a British theme so they're wearing smoking jackets and they're eating beef wellington and then the they're being served drinks and the special drink of the night that really gets a close-up is would you like a drink it's the king charles and they're like oh okay and there's a shot of drinks so uh that is is like when i see something like that i'm saying i got to get to the bottom of this shit what is the king charles i never heard of the king charles i looked it up and it

turns out it is a brand new drink just invented earlier this year by high claire castle gin so newer than the vento even this is our newest drink ever guys because it was invented to celebrate the coronation of king charles which was i believe just in april 2023 long live the king it's it's it was invented by it's it's almost just like this brand coming up with a thing. But Highclere Castle Gin is a London-based brand, I believe. And it's named after a castle. Highclere Castle is where they shot Downton Abbey. So if you picture Downton Abbey. I'm looking at the picture here on the recipe.

Oh, who's splendid. Jeff, you sound exactly like the guys in downton abbey righto so hi claire castle gin invents this in april and it debuts at the charles restaurant in weathersfield connecticut that's the first place that it's on the menu and interesting the buckingham palace yeah maybe this is an american brand i'm not even i thought it was london but it might be american but it's to celebrate king charles so the concept here is it's combining king charles's two favorite liquors gin and scotch and that's kind of great you don't ever see gin and scotch together but he's a martini guy and he also separately likes

fancy single malt scotches so i would uh i think he and i would get along swimmingly birds of a feather i could see you and him having a cigar just talking about world about about foreign policy oh uh well maybe switch that to uh5s. Slim Jims. Sucking on a couple Slim Jims talking PS5s. A system he doesn't have, but wants. But I'm thinking about it. I could ask if he has one.

Oh, yes, I have many PS5s. That's your plan for the whole conversation. I got to ask him if he has a PS5. It just never comes up and I leave Buckingham Palace without talking to him about it. And here is the recipe and this is the official

recipe straight from the gin brand themselves. It is two ounces gin. Quarter ounce scotch. They say, you know, Quarter ounce scotch. They say, you know, single malt scotch. I ain't using a single malt.

I'm just using scotch. Half an ounce fresh lemon juice. Half an ounce orange curacao. Very nice. Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake strain into a cocktail coop garnish with a rosemary sprig oh so it is a little christmassy do you yeah yes i thought that i chose it because i thought that for tis the season and all it's not we're not totally in christmas nog time but it's a fancy British drink with some scotch in it.

It's festive. Yeah, no, it's not nog time. It's not nog time. No, no, no. No nog time. The rosemary sprig, do you think that has anything to do, like, is there any significance to that or just a taste thing? Oh, the significance of that can't be overstated. Thank you.

Well, that's good. I don't know, but I'm going to remember that when I garnish my rosemary, I'm going to give it a slap or a clap to wake it up. I was not able to get rosemary because as I said before, my train was late. I was going to pop out.

You got any pine trees around? Yes, only my Christmas tree, but I am not touching that because it's perfect in every way. You need to snip a little bough off the Christmas tree, give it a smack, plop it in a drink. Little holly for your drink, sir. You have a butler working for you there? Yeah, he, you know, I got a one-bedroom apartment, but yeah, he sleeps with me. You could get a much bigger apartment if you fired that butler.

I know, but where'd he go? All right, you want to fix these up? Yes. Yes, I do. All right, folks, we're going to go make these drinks, and we'll be right back here after these messages and we're back king charles is in hand. Wow. Charles. I made mine again with Empress gin. So I'm purpley here. Oh,

it looks like a Cosmo. A purpley one. Boy, that that's quarter ounce of scotch is really small. I bought a, I bought a big bottle of J and B. I was like, I've seen this, this logo my whole life.

Can't wait to buy it. It's really cheap. And then I just pour a quarter ounce in. And I was like, well, there's that. Okay. Well,

that was fun. I use Johnny Walker, which is blended of course, but it's also 12 years. It's no McCall in 12, but it's a blended for 12 years. Yeah. It's in a Vitamix.

12 years straight. Sips. Sips. I'm smelling Christmas tree rosemary. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

Hmm. Hey, not too sweet. That's nice. Yeah. Not too sweet at all. Damn, I think I may have done a little too much uh uh scotch yeah yeah i maybe did not enough because mine's not coming through at all you can taste uh smoky peaty scotch mike jeff can you taste scotch because i'm really just tasting lemon and gin yeah pretty much but it's it's got a little bit more of like a stank on it than your brambles or your whatever yeah your other

your collins i think sometimes when i do like a quarter ounce of something i like you know i flip my jigger upside down and do a i tried to a half of the half and it's, I always kind of, it's never accurate. And it's hard because it's cone shaped and it's wider up top. So you, it's not like you don't have fill it. You got to go a little past half. And I always remember that just as I'm pouring it into the shaker. Mine has a little bit of this thing where just in general, like if there was a tray of these being passed around and I took a sip i'd say be like hell yeah it's not it's not too anything uh it's

not too sweet it's not too whatever but there's maybe i mean i'm getting ahead of myself but to improve it there seems to be like a middle that's missing you know i'm i'm kind of like getting booze and i'm getting lemon but like it almost could use more of a weirdy maybe i do just want more uh scotch or something but like it's could use more of a weirdy. Maybe I do just want more scotch or something, but like it's kind of lacking the twang that makes it interesting. Ooh, like chartreuse or something like that. Is there a drink that's just lemon, gin, and curacao? Probably.

Because that feels more like what I wanted this to be i mean it sounds like a collins or something like a call right it's i mean i i there's that's got to have a name because it's a sour that is touching on all the different stuff yeah but what's nice here is that uh curacao is not as sweet as triple sec uh and i forgot that while i was making this i thought it was gonna have that like saccharin triple sec taste but it really doesn't right i'm glad i actually did buy curacao i had blue but i didn't want a weird looking drink so i went out and bought like pretty decent dry curacao um although i did see a lot of recipes saying like it's all the same if we're talking orange liqueur you're fine i'm I'm on Cocktail Builder here.

I'm trying to find out what that would be. What would I say? Triple sec, gin, and lemon. Oh, the closest we've done on the pod it would be, no, Curacao, Mike. But triple sec. Oh, I said triple sec, yes, yes, yes. We did the white lady

on the show, and that's gin, triple sec, lemon. Wait, isn and that's gin triple sec lemon. Wait, isn't Curacao and triple sec somewhat interchangeable? Somewhat. Yeah. Yeah. One's is drier.

Although triple sec means triple dry. What the fuck do I know? I read a whole thing about the differences in the histories and it's, it's an evolving, changing, weird thing. Even Quantro called itself Curacao for a moment. Oh, the differences in the histories and it's it's an evolving changing weird thing even quantro called itself um curacao for a moment yeah oh so maybe curacao came first because because

quantro is the first triple sec right so maybe maybe curacao was around first and then uh because i am stupid but i think of curacao being like a little more rindy or something i feel like triple sec is just like oh that's sweet delicious orange and then a certain kind of orange too oh yeah right it's like because was curacao is an island it's like a french colony in the caribbean or was a colony when they made the stuff well i don't mind having my hyrum walker triple sec right next to my Cointreau, right next to my dry Curacao. That feels a lot better than having like 50 bottles that taste like good and plenty. Yes, I agree.

Orange Curacao. Yes, yes. I've actually seen a lot of white ladies made with Curacao, just not on the IBA list. But like Diffords, Diffords is using Curacao and the white lady. Okay, so cocktails you can mix with lemon juice, gin, and orange Curacao. A Gone Tomorrow, an Arthur Tompkins, and a Here Today. A Here Today and a Gone Tomorrow are two different drinks? Mm-hmm.

But this one doesn't use... Oh, this is interesting. Okay. A here today cocktail is two ounces of gin and two drops of lemon juice. Okay. And then Arthur Tompkins is two ounces of gin, two teaspoons lemon juice, and a half ounce of orange liqueur. Okay. What's a gone tomorrow?

A gone tomorrow is two ounces of gin, two drops lemon juice. Okay, so a here today and a gone tomorrow are the same thing. One is garnished with a stem of cherry. The other one

is garnished with something else. A stem of cherry? Oh, this one too, garnished with a maraschino cherry and serve. Okay. I think that's a way

of saying like a cherry on the stem, but not just the stem of the cherry just the stem the trash just stem of cherry have you guys seen me do this thing where i will take a cherry stem put in my mouth tied up into a knot and then all the boys go cream Yeah, I've seen that. They go, oh, yeah. We're drinking a British drink. King Charles is the current king of England. Wait, what?

What are our experiences in the UK? Jeff, you've never been to the UK, have you? No, I've never been across the pond. I'm kind of under-traveled. You're from New England. Yeah, that's true. And they always tell you, like, don't worry about old England. It's much better here.

It's better here in Nashua. We have taxation with representation here, you see? Yeah, you see? Don't worry about the old world. Wait, and don't you have, like, no sales tax? We don't have no sales tax, uh-huh. Jeff! You ain't got no. Come on, the rest of us dopes are paying sales tax, We don't have no sales tax. Jeff, come on. The rest of us dopes are paying sales tax and you're getting away scud free.

When you pay 99 cents for something, you get a penny back. That's amazing. I say give a penny, leave a penny. Take a penny. Give a penny, leave a penny, and then take a penny. Mike, you went to London on the comedy bang bang tour. And I feel like I remember, I remember afterwards, Scott Aukerman was making fun of you for ordering martinis everywhere and not liking them and always sending them back. Well, wait a minute. No, that was, that was when we were in Australia, I ordered a martini from

someplace and we saw the guy mixing the drink back in the closet next to like the clorox and the comet you know cleaner and stuff and when it came out to me it tasted disgusting it had two straws and something else weird about i forget it had cherry in it not enough like a tide pod in it something yeah but in england we went to uh nottingham london where else did we go into two other cities did that sheriff of nottingham get you he didn't give me i'm looking for my cancer oh i'm looking for my game i'm the sheriff around here ain't i well ain't i I'm the sheriff around here, ain't I? Well, ain't I?

Well, ain't I? Southern sheriff. Did we do that? That used to be a joke we used to do. Well, I'm the sheriff around here, ain't I? Well, ain't I? Well, ain't I? Well, ain't I?

Yes, but it was a, we did that tour at breakneck, and we only had one day off in London. And yeah, sure, I took the big bus around and saw the sights. I took that big red bus as well. That was fun. It's good. It's fun. I spent four days in London one time, and I loved it. But then also, one of my takeaways, culturally, I watched a lot of BBC, and and it was really fun you know when you're just

delighting and just staying in the hotel room watching tv it's kind of nice like there's so much outside to do and and see but i was almost like tim i'm gonna sinfully just watch a lot of the tube because i really it was fascinating and i was watching like uh come dine with me is this great show where come dine with me there's four people and they each have to host a dinner now you each have to host a dinner party for the other people in uh on the show i've heard that yeah but you probably told me that but you're like in these little like sad little like one room flats and they're you have to do like dinner a drink and then perform some sort of entertainment and there would be people in their sad little apartments doing it and they'd

be shit talking each other. But then it would be like that person's turn. And then there was a dating show that I loved and, and a bunch of TV that I watched, but I would say the takeaway Monty Python, there was something that came up in every single TV show I ever watched. Somebody at some point said uh she thinks she's posh but she's not or he thinks he acts like like he's from chelsea but

he's from manchester or like the idea of some and i we have a version of that here in america for sure but like the obsession with like i know you're not fancy breeding, but you're acting, you're trying to convince me that you're posh, but you're not every single TV show for four days. Everything I watched was just constantly about that. That's really funny. You think you're so posh and as a posh guy, I got to say, Hey, uh, you know, I'm posh. Sure. Posh spice. I imagine it must be fun walking around, uh, London or any place where you're the exotic one. You know, you're just a white dude, but you got an accent to everyone there anyway. Yeah.

When I was there, I think I may have told you this before. When I was there, I was sitting in a little shop. Actually, with Aquaman. We were eating some breakfast or something and a lady came in an old lady was like excuse me where's the toilet because they say toilet instead of bathroom he's like in the back and i was like oh that's that's funny hearing toilet in that accent and then like some american tourist came in he was like excuse me where's the toilet just like took all the charm out of it we liked when she said it where's the toilet? Took all the charm out of it.

We liked when she said it. Where's the toilet? I'm going to piss all over it. Where's the toilet bowl that I can fill up with my brown shit? But not too brown. What? What does that mean? Ooh,

a tinge of orange. A tinge of curacao. Curacao, yay. Piece of miracle. Well, speaking of asking for toilets, that reminds me of one of my greatest triumphs was I was in Quebec city.

I was walking to the men's room. I bumped into a guy in the hallway and I, I went scusi. And then the guy, I was trying to the men's room. I bumped into a guy in the hallway and I went, scusi. And then the guy, I was trying to fit in and the guy goes, oh, pardon moi, monsieur. That's good.

And I was like, ooh, I'm French passing. French passing. That fucking idiot. That rube. Pardon moi. Pardon moi. Pardon moi. an idiot that rube all right what do you change about the drink for me it's the scotch i put too much scotch in too much scotch i'm gonna crank up my scotch i'm gonna do half an ounce i did see alt recipes for

this online that were two ounces of gin and then a half ounce of everything else. So I'm going to crank up. I'm going to crank my scotch to the max. Nice. Nice. I'm out of my Tangray gin. So I might have to do the Hanford move and pivot over to my beloved

expensive empire purple gin that I used to make Taylor Swift drinks. The lavender haze itself. Interesting. Interesting. Great. All right. So folks, why don't you sit tight and we'll be back here after this. With King Charles and our final thoughts draw nigh

here on the podcast with Timeless Integrity. Will these different adaptations of the recipe save it from certain not order again? You made a little small one there, Jeff. Well, I'm finishing this

little dude. This is my round one. Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes. This purple fella is round two. Oh, right, the Empress Jin. But I also did more scotch, like the T-Man. How much more? Ooh, the T-Man.

Just a half ounce for Curacao lemon juice and scotch. Gotcha. I love scotch. Ron Burgundy, Anchorman, classic. Ooh, what I was going to say, Tim, when you were talking about Southern Charm and the buildup to this drink, I mean, we should just pivot this podcast to a Southern Charm podcast and we'd have a billion followers. I know. It's crazy. People don't want what we i mean we should just pivot this podcast to a southern charm podcast and we'd have a billion followers i know it's crazy people don't want what we're doing but if we just said hey every

week we're talking about this could be episode one we're talking about this dinner that they had and then whatever they do next week we'll do that on here i'm ready to pivot yeah i could get into this bravo show we did i mean we tried our best yeah so now this is a southern charm uh pod and uh well the the patreon will still just be our crazy stuff i really did think that we would be so universally appealing don't talk about that you don't want you you you want to meet you know, when you meet Tony Hawk, do you want him to say, hey, how's it going? Yeah, I'm kind of, my body's falling apart and

I can't do some of the old tricks anymore. Hi. I never did get to do that 1080. Oh, you were going to do a 1080? We didn't even know that's what you were at your sights on. That's what I wanted to do, but I never did. We thought 900 was king. No, I'm a loser.

All my friends back home do 1080s. Well, they should be professional skateboarders then. It's amazing. All my friends beat me up. What? Tony! Did you guys watch that Tony Hawk documentary? Of course!

Yeah, of course. Didn't we do it on the pod? We all watched it together, basically. Oh, yeah. Well, I loved his grumpy dad, like holding the clipboard and wearing a hat and being like a sports coach. Dad trying to fit in at the, in the X game scene.

Oh, so weird in skateboarding for like a brand new sport. And what the sport needs is some structure. I need somebody to whistle, whistle at them. It needs timing and structure. Did you hear Tony? Did you hear about this?

Everybody in San Diego talks about that all the time. That's what Blink-182 is referencing is the time that Tony Hawk's dad I brought you some Mexican food from Sombrero just because. Just because, Tony. Alright, it's winding down. Is Charles in charge after all? Oh, that's good, Jeff. All right. It's winding down. Is Charles in charge after all? Oh, that's good, Jeff.

That's good. Does the king live long after all? And that doesn't work as well. Hmm. Long live the king? Question mark. I haven't had my modification. Oh, yeah.

Try your new one. Here we go. Hmm. Hmm. Oh. Hmm. Potter. I like this because the scotch is uh i i doubled my scotch and it's standing up to the gym better and i'm at least getting a smoky taste that i'm not just getting a little dragon breath that was such a joke in everything when we were kids uh oh i got a date. Binaka.

Yeah, it's funny when like a product hits the scene and it's like, oh, we're in for a bunch of binaka jokes. The same way we were in for a bunch of Red Bull jokes. Like, ooh, Red Bull, Red Bull. And then when you see a binaka in the real world, you're like, oh my God, they exist. They do exist. He does exist. It's almost time for that jolly old elf to be coming down all the Christmas trees.

Great chimneys, I mean. Putting stuff under the Christmas tree. What does he do again? I'm not really sure. He pilots the sleigh. He pilots the sleigh through your front door, right? But right now his elves are hard at work. Making PS5s for all the good boys

and henfids and henfids okay well your final thoughts michael this is an order again for me i like this it's it's a tentative order. It's a, I liked it. And the qualifications are either Oregon or not Oregon. I didn't love it, but it's Oregon. So it's an, it's an order again with some depth. Yeah.

And if you're thinking, Oh, maybe this one day could be a, a greatest of all time, a, what do we call a stone cold classic? I don't know. I don't know. Timothy't know timothy your thoughts

please i like it too i would like to try it with the with the official high clare castle gin and they recommended uh mccallan 12 year single malt scotch um i'd like to try it with those but yeah i think it's a fun uh drink for this winter season when you want to do something a little bit fancy i mean i guess it's not wintry tasting right it kind of tastes like a like a like a gimlet or it's bright it's gin gin to me is spring uh gin can be wintry but gin can be quite spring-like sure or summery man fall has its spot i like the split base you know guys split base we learned that from jack Schramm. Yeah, but it's not quite split, though. You know, it's just a, it's mostly gin

and then a little whiskey goes, hey, little me too. I would like more scotch. I think that we, they wimped out on the amount of scotch and I think they should crank it. Just scotch on the rocks feels like a wintry drink. A late night fire blazing. Oh, that, yeah. Oh, yeah. yeah big time big time

maybe you dunk a little rosemary in that dunk some dunkaroos baby truly the rosemary is the only thing making it feel uh festive to me yeah but let yourself get swayed by the smell now jeff when you said rosemary when you said rosemary i I thought maybe you were going to say, I thought you were about to say red wine. And then I'm thinking red wine and scotch could be something. Is this a tease for your test kitchen drink? This is not the tease, but now I've got two test kitchens going. A kitchen devoted to each drink. All right. For me, this is an order again. It's fine.

That's the best way to put it, Joe. It's fine. You know, I was not looking forward to this drink. I think it's weird. And also, I want to conquer the IBA. Not do Bravo drinks. Bravo to the IBA for creating such a list. Not do Bravo drinks. But... Bravo to the IBA for creating such a list.

But who am I to stand in the way of the zeitgeist? No, no, I would not. The IBA zeitgeist. Oh, you're saying this is the zeitgeist. I get you, I get you. I'm saying this is the hot Bravo drink for the new king that we all love. So we're going to... Once we get through IBA,

then we switch over to Southern Charm podcast. Right, right. But then we also wanted to do like the weird 80s drinks. Okay, so after that and after IBA. Tim, can you remind me what it's called? Venice Room. The Venice Room. Mike, you haven't even been and you know it's the Venice Room. Yeah, man. Last time Mike was here, I can't believe we didn't take him to. Venice room. The Venice room. Mike, you haven't even been, and you know, it's the Venice room.

That's good, man. Last time Mike was here, I can't believe we didn't take him to the Venice room. Fuck my life. I was there for like two days. Yeah. Okay.

Well, the previous time, but then that's where you get your redheaded sluts and your blowjob shots and all those other weird. Yeah. Dirty alligator and everything. It's, It's great. Is that a mudslide shot too? Would that be like an 80s thing? Why haven't we done mudslide? Fuck my life.

Fuck everything. Because we haven't gone to the Alps yet. We need to do, hey, instead of doing a tour. Hold on, hold on a second. Okay, go ahead. The Alps, the avalanche, mudslide has nothing to do with the avalanche. We were joking about that. No, but I think you'd be good to do with the avalanche. We were joking about that. No, but I think it'd be good to do in the winter.

It's more of a mudslide's happening in the spring when the snow's melting. Don't, you're getting too, but I get you, I get you. Wait, wait, I think, I haven't done my research, but I, I'm, my guess is that the mudslide was invented at the original TGI Fridays on the Upper East Side. Oh, I'm looking at it right now. This looks like a good. It's a fern bar drink where Tom Cruise was flipping bottles. Yep. You know what I should start doing when I go to restaurant, go to bars, ask for stuff like the mudslide and these kooky drinks.

Yeah, but you can't get a normal bar would be like the mudslide and these kooky drinks yeah but you can't add you a normal bar would be like a mudslide we don't we can't do that you got to do it like i'm just gonna take my business elsewhere it's the best feeling when you go to a bar you look at the menu and it's all actual like whether or not it's like classic cocktails just drinks that exist and you could check a few other lists we got tagged and i love seeing it on on the sloppy boys instagram a lot of people dm us pictures like hey look at this i i live in tennessee and i'm at a bar and their whole menu looks like your episode list and it's so exciting to get to try a bunch of shit and that's i would love to look at a menu and see a mudslide instead of what you do see, which is like the slidey mud boy. It's our own little take.

Fuck you. Yeah, fuck you. Hens in the mud. We put an egg in the mudslide. Hens in the mud. That might be my next third kitchen. You know, a lot of kitchens going. Third kitchen.

You know, a lot of kitchens going. When you look at the name too, and it's not even a play on anything. And you're just like, you expect me to just read a whole cocktail list of new information. You're overestimating how much thinking I want to do when I'm trying to order a drink. It would be weird if you went to a restaurant and you looked at the entrees and you didn't recognize anything. Like not even because it's likees and you didn't recognize anything like not even because it's like a cuisine you aren't used to imagine you go to an american restaurant and then you like they've come up with their own name for a cheeseburger you're like you like having to infer like oh okay that's a ribeye it's like oh uh one eye of the storm please um exactly uh can i have the patty the the double the double bun patty mama

and all the chicken tits oh god oh gross chicken breast okay hey can i say my fucking thing about the tour let's not do people don't like to tour during the winter right why not us included i don't oh it doesn't logistically make sense to tour during the winter. It's too tough to get around. This is usually when bands hunker down in one ski resort and ski together. That's what I'm saying.

That's what bands do. We have a residency. We have a residency in Aspen. The fans come to us by day, swish, swish. By by night glug glug that's the life that is so much cooler than doing like a cruise where we play every night you just say hey everyone we're in aspen all winter come on like and we're playing a little club like a tiny a place that holds 50 people but we're gonna play there every fucking night for 100 nights like the beatles at the cavern club yep and we'll finally get good at our instruments for once

we have to find a club in aspen who's like yeah we will have you every single night how many songs you guys know look we got four albums worth yes but how many of those do you play you're not gonna be drunk every night are No, we'll be tired from skiing some nights. No, we'll be on pills like the Beatles at the Cavern Club. A club so cavernous, they named it the Cavern Club. Yep, that's exactly what they did. That's our show.
