Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love.
I'm Jeff Dutton along with Mike Hanford.
Hello.
And Tim Kalpakis.
What is up?
And we are your little elves for the evening.
Oh, that's nice.
Timeless elves of
integrity. The timeless elves
who leave all the good
slopheads toys.
And hey, even some of the bad ones
too. Hey, I was thinking about timeless
integrity, which is true.
But we also have sort of a contemporary
cool, you know oh i see
that yeah well now what do you mean because i'm not seeing it right off the bat what do you mean
huh you're not i wasn't expecting a follow-up question i wasn't expecting any pushback on this
mike's really jumping down your throat well Well, I'm just, what did you call it?
Modern cool.
You know, we got timeless, timeless integrity.
That's for sure.
That's for sure.
But that doesn't necessarily sound like you're also cool and of the moment.
Right.
And you say we are.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Contemporary cutting.
Contemporary state of the art.
That's good.
Yeah.
Cause you wouldn't want to call yourself cool. That's a little weird. I'm just looking. I'm just looking across. Contemporary. State of the art. That's good. Yeah, because you wouldn't
want to call yourself cool.
That's a little weird.
I'm just looking,
I'm just looking across,
state of the art.
I'm looking at Tim's
microphone holder
and I know it's
held together with duct tape.
Duct tape, for sure.
Or maybe that's the new one.
That could be the new one.
No, this one's broken.
This one's broken too
because I keep buying
the cheapest one on Amazon
over and over again.
You bought about
10 of those things. And also this microphone i bought when i was like 15 years old
and it was 200 bucks so i really want to get my money's worth out of it at this point
it's recorded 160 something episodes at this point it's paying you yeah it's that's that
microphone if you even like touch it a some sharp sound comes into me and Jeff's earphones.
It's like a dull sound, but it's so live.
They're so loud.
You think that's painful, Mike?
Why don't you try touching it with your wet lips like I do?
It's a Christmas scorch.
Oh, shit.
I've done that before on stage.
I've done that before in a sloppy boy show.
And I'll be like
what is it about audio equipment like i know yeah hey a lot of the stuff we deal with is electric
there's electricity coursing through it but with mics and stuff you really do get like zapped and
if you move your mic wrong sometimes your computer will like shut down it's it's the difference i
look this up it's the difference between uh alpha
wags and uh waffle waves and omega waves yeah okay yeah i think i have an omega wave over here
right now yeah it's an yeah that's probably the omega wave i'm looking at the cable uh my
microphone cable and i see it's like when a snake uhallows a rat, I see a big omega wave working its way through.
So squeeze that in.
It's going to be a good podcast.
There's a nice big wave coming through.
Jeff, you make a good point though.
Like if I were to touch my microphone cable now and it came unplugged,
like you wouldn't just be like, Oh, we lost Tim's audio.
It's like my, my Google Chrome would shut down.
Your neighborhood's
lights turn off it's so stupid I know I always lose the browser then the monitor closes down
sitting outside somehow I don't even willing to test this thing I'm not willing even to touch it
just now to see what happened because it would stop the whole zen uh yeah the zen as in the
zen flow we have going here but also our rapport is very zen yes it would in the zen flow we have going here. But also the... Our rapport is very zen.
Yes.
It would stop the whole flow.
Also the zen caster that we record on.
Or we view each other on.
I don't know how we record.
It's a very tenuous setup here at the Sloppy Boys LLC.
Yeah.
Don't touch a cord.
Are you excited for Christmas?

I think everyone probably knows it's time for the Nog Report.
Hit it.
The Nog Report.
Wow.
What is up?
Cal Piquet here with the Nog Report.
I'm live on the scene at the Los Feliz Albertsons,
sort of the town square of the Los Feliz scene.
Nice.
And I noticed something new this holiday season
that we didn't used to have that's very exciting.
Now, if you like boozy eggnog,
remember in the past on the show,
I had to go all the way out to Walmart to find fireball nog and you had to add fireball to it.
Or there was SoCo nog and you had to add SoCo to it.
Oh, shit.
And we discussed on the show that the one delicious boozy nog you could buy at liquor stores was Pennsylvania Dutch eggnog that had rum, whiskey, and cognac already blended into it and it's delicious
all of that well i walked down the beer aisle get to a case at the end of the aisle shelves here
not only do they have pennsylvania dutch but there's several varieties of pennsylvania dutch
chocolate pumpkin spice peppermint then evan williams the whiskey brand is getting in the game they got a boozy nog
damn and a spice cider uh but then screwball peanut butter whiskey has also come out with
their boozy egg nog so folks this is an entire rack of boozy nogs that didn't exist last year so 2023 we're seeing a skyrocket in the boozy nog
options that's all for the nog report nog nog
wow that's great news damn have you seen it there jeff at albertson's it's a huge huge shelf
it's imposing no i missed it i was there today how'd i miss this
nog shelf oh you're probably buried in your mobile there should be a stand with all the the new boozy
eggnogs it's like from the nog report yeah yeah that's good oh as seen on the nog report yeah
yeah and there's like a cardboard fat head of me uh fat head in more ways than one. Don't do that to yourself, Tim.
Tim, you have a thin head, Tim.
Tim, your head's thin.
You know what I did see at Albertsons was those big plastic hollow candy canes filled with fireball nips.
Oh, yes. It was like, you know, two and a half feet tall, filled with nips.
Very nice.
Very nice.
That sounds good, Jeff.
Or Tim.
Fuck, what was I going to say?
God bless it, I forgot.
And Jeff.
And Jeff.
And Jeff.
That's good, dude.
I was referring more to the boozers.
But yes, Jeff, your statement was good, too.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Okay.
And Jeff.
I recommend the Pennsylvaniasylvania dutch one guys it's very good if you like nog and yeah rum cognac and whiskey all swirled in there but you don't want to put
on the rocks because it's thick and eggy oh it's kind of rum chata season isn't it hey pennsylvania
dutch it's not just chris van arts dalen anymore pennsylvania dutch our friend who's from bethlehem pennsylvania
mr poconos himself director editor van arts oh you know we should say we should say on the pod
okay carly ray jepsen had a very popular song a couple years ago call me maybe a couple years ago
10 full years ago we used to call uh chris a lot of nicknames one of them was craby craby baby
remember yeah yeah and then uh it was our little parody was because ch would edit and do the graphics for our videos and would do a lot of rendering.
And we would say, I just met you.
This is crazy.
I made a render.
So call me Krabby.
I made a render.
So call me Krabby.
He was meeting people at a party.
I made a render.
So call me Krabby.
I think you explain to a person what a render is.
I think that the creative types who listen to the pod yeah they're creative types they know i just mean like if he was in that
situation at a party going up to uh someone who he had a crush on he'd be like i made a render
so call me gravy and a render is what i mean i don't even know what it is. Are you familiar with Adobe Premiere?
Do you have access to the render farm?
I was at
recently with Chris at an
immersive theater experience
and there was one part, it was interactive
and at one part an actor gave
Chris a piece of paper and a pen and said
write down your worst fear and Chris wrote
something down and crumpled it. And then I leaned over.
I said, what'd you write?
The video won't render.
Roasted that nerd.
To take the one guy in our group who was, you know, he really put it like we had a lot
of like good videos because of his talents.
Yeah. He works all night on something and you're like, uh, we had a lot of like good videos because of his talents. Yeah.
He works all night on something and you're like,
thanks nerd.
Thanks nerd to render fast enough for you.
What are you gonna be late for work?
Cause you were up all night rendering this.
It's not that he's an artist who uses those things for his craft.
It's like he likes,
he likes rendering.
He's like,
Ooh,
I'll render that for you.
I can throw it on my hard drive and render it.
Yeah.
Render it useless. I'm going to say that next time I see him, I'll render that for you. I can throw it on my hard drive and render it. Yeah, render it useless.
I'm going to say that next time I see him.
I'll render you useless.
You know, if you ever meet someone
from the Poconos,
this is good for anybody out there.
And I know we have some Pennsylvania listeners,
so you might pop into those Poconos people.
You say, if they say, oh, I'm from the Poconos.
You say, yeah,
I can tell with all the boogers on your fingers.
Yep.
Wait, you're giving the listeners instructions to harass and bully people?
To no, not to harass and bully.
Roast the ones you love.
That's targeted harassment.
No.
Are the Poconos people?
Oh, God.
Take that off.
I'm just getting it now, and we're going to remove this whole segment.
No, it stays in.
You, sir, are a fool.
What did you think?
I don't understand what you thought.
I wasn't.
Tim, when I turn the mic on, the brain turns off.
Yeah.
I got it from here.
Sizzle it out.
Let me handle it.
Let me do the squawking.
When I meet somebody from the Poconos,
I always ask them about Mount Airy Lodge
because it was a ski resort in the 90s.
In upstate New York, we used to get ads for it,
and the song was,
All you have to bring is your love of everything.
Beautiful Mount Airy Lodge.
I think that they're saying they have so many amenities and there's a lot to do, so bring your love of everything.
That's good.
That's good.
Kind of want to check it out.
Yeah, it's cool.
Oh, it's one of those ones that had the, I feel like I've talked about it on the pod before because it had the champagne glass bathtub in the commercial.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, I've seen, I think I've seen these pictures of this place.
Yeah, I did a little thing.
I was so curious about it.
I was like, where is this thing?
Because I saw a bunch of old catalog photos of it.
Yeah.
That's where it is, huh?
I used to go and I'd rent one of those rooms, get in that tub and crank off all weekend. And that's, you know what I, you know what I have never been to.
It was a big thing in LA.
Like people go to the Madonna hotel, Madonna Inn, and that has like the cave room and the
palace room.
And so it kind of, I never went, but it seemed fun.
Yeah.
I never went in.
It sounds like you'd have been there.
Oh, I've been there a bunch.
And yeah, sometimes like one of those places you bring it up to. He's like, oh yeah. We'd like you'd have been there. Oh, I've been there a bunch. And yeah, sometimes like one of those places you bring it up to.
He's like, oh yeah, we'd say this with the restaurants.
Oh yeah, I've been there.
Did you try the, this, this, this is like, no, like no.
And you're like, shut the fuck up.
You did though.
How was it?
You pee on a rock wall.
Do you not?
Yeah.
Well you do.
Yeah.
The restroom in the restaurant, you pee on a rock.
But what was funny about the Madonna Inn is if you book book an adventure i would hold on sorry to i would pay good money to pay on that p of that guy
i wonder how much it would cost you're gonna have to pay a lot he makes 60 million dollars a year
so i don't think he's gonna let somebody pee on him for very little yeah you don't know what he's
into the rock's got his pee price. What is it?
Rock, come on the show.
Tell us your pee price.
Everyone has their urine quote.
Go ahead, Tim.
I cut you off for that bout of frivolity.
Well, I was saying that every room at this hotel you speak of has a different theme.
So if you're like, hey, I want to stay at the caveman rock room or whatever.
You book in advance,
you get the room you like.
If you book day of,
and you just kind of walk in,
sometimes you get a room that's like the Swiss room.
Yeah.
Not enough of a theme.
All the good rooms are taken.
I guess it's sort of Swiss in here.
Cause the comforter is filled with holes.
The cheese has holes in it.
Yes, yes, I understand.
But the equivalent of cheese, is it not a blanket in the bedroom?
The cheese equivalent in the bedroom is a blanket.
Should there be holes in the blanket, you're in the Swiss room.
Right.
If the bed is a sandwich, the blanket's the cheese. That's right.
On top of the two pieces of bread.
And you're on top of it, too.
That's how you make a sandwich.
You lay two pieces of bread and top it with cheese.
Oh, geez. And you get
on it yourself when you're tired.
Dry bread on bread with a little
something on top.
Mike, I want to take it back.
You said a bout of frivolity.
Yeah, sure.
Did you, are you aware that, um,
that made you laugh?
That made me, that got a good rise out of me.
On Batman Forever, two unlikely co-stars had to share scenes together.
Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones.
Oh, yes.
Tommy Lee Jones was like new to comedy. I don't know
if Men in Black had just happened or what, but he was
Two-Face. And the two
famously did not get along on set.
Jim Carrey and the...
Wait, Two-Face, the two sides of...
Two-Face? No, just the one
actor playing the two sides. I see.
And his quote
with Jim Carrey was, I cannot sanction
your buffoonery.
So people on set heard this.
And so that's a quote that people say.
Was that like in a scene or like just?
No, no.
This is them fighting.
Like Jim Carrey chews the scenery too much and goofs around too much.
Yeah, right, right.
I cannot sanction your buffoonery.
Yeah. He's right to state his needs remember that classic outtake
blooper in liar liar when they're yelling in court and then his co-star is like over actor
like objection overacting or whatever and then jim carrey laughs i was like that's pretty
fucking mean like if if you were acting in a scene and you're Jim Carrey, so you do overact and then
your scene partner made a joke about you overacting, I would cry my little eyes out.
I think I wrote a sketch like this for the birthday boys that didn't get past like a
first draft, but it was a guy who like was hired on DVD extras to be like the blooper
guy and you'd see him, he'd show up in a bunch.
But anyway, in that one, I think she
was like, he told me to do it and
like, oh, it seemed like a
set fun set thing or something.
I didn't remember. Carrie
did laugh, right? But so even
if it was the director or something, that's worse.
Yeah, that's true. Carrie
did laugh, though. I remember I thought that was a very funny
is a good sport. I mean, he laughed his way to the bank 20 million in the picture baby
you know what i love is the toy story outtakes right because they don't need to do those
because you know they didn't shoot those things they're holding a boom pole in front of mr potato
head well the yeah right the we've talked about this i've talked about before uh till my throat is sore the uh
elf bloopers oh yeah those are so great henson bloopers are funny too he's like hey
uh does anyone want to tell uh someone will tell gonzo he missed his fucking cue
they do do that i've said this before on the pod. It's fun. The Muppets stay in
character when they flub. They're like, pick that again, piggy.
I got a little bit of booze news. Here's a little segment.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Oh, a segment.
Classic segment.
It's time for Dutton's Delights.
Welcome back to a recurring segment.
Segment, this is Dutton's Delights.
I thought we were getting into a recorded piece.
No, this is me telling you about a little life hack that I found.
Ooh.
And it's going to come in handy during the Christmas season.
A lot of gifts are exchanged, you know?
A lot of people are going to find themselves with some new clothes,
maybe just a new shirt, you know?
Mm-hmm.
I myself got a couple new shirts lately, and I've been really taking advantage of
this thing that we can all do.
You ever buy a shirt and then you wear it, you go on,
you go about your business, you have your little adventure, you come back.
And then when you take it off, you're like, Hey, this is,
this one's still good. This one's still going. Never happened. No.
Fresh from the store. You pop the tags, you wear it.
Still good.
Still got it.
You put it on, you do another day or like maybe a half day,
you go on out for a sandwich, you come back.
Oh my God.
This thing's still going.
I got three days out of that t-shirt.
This shirt I'm wearing right now, I haven't washed it yet.
Wow.
For three days you've had this?
Yeah.
What color was it when you first got it?
Not like wearing it every day.
Sure.
But here's my theory, and I think this is right.
Yeah.
Clothing manufacturers, when they make them in the factory,
they got to go on a truck or a boat or something like that.
They got to go to a store, and a bunch of people are going to try them on with their grubby hands and all that.
And they don't want it to smell like that whole process.
So they're sealed.
I think they coat it in a fine mist of like microplastics or something.
Do you think they do or they do it?
I think they do do that.
Okay.
I don't know what the name of the chemical is, but you can only take advantage of it once.
Once you wash it,
now you're stuck washing it after every wear.
I wouldn't know.
What I'm telling the folks at home is like,
take advantage.
When you get some new clothes,
try and get three days out of it.
All right.
You guys haven't noticed this?
Jeff, I never wear a new thing.
I always wash it first
because I think a t-shirt is weird.
You missed the window completely.
If you want to buy a new one,
well,
maybe I'm not necessarily just only have the goal of wearing it for three
days,
but here,
but now I'll say this in favor of your theory,
Jeff,
I didn't notice it with shirts per se,
but I mean,
my friends used to like hold a lighter up to our socks and you could
you're if you got like a tube sock you get a good flame go up your sock and that was something you
could only do once with each sock so there might be some sort of spray or coating to the textiles
textile coater yes coat coater too jeff i want you to look into this and see what's going on i i sometimes don't wear
like new underwear i won't wear or like new um undershirts because i feel like they're
uh itchy or something like if there is a chemical or something on them jeff i like to
i like to or maybe they're just stiff too that could be it too i wash them just because they're
i guess stiff you mean to tell me you pop the tags and then wash
them before you wear them no not everything i i no no no i don't mean to say that i do okay
wow tim does that i always wash some i buy it i wash it on cold and tumble dry it and and i don't
want a stiff off the rack shirt the shoulders are all poking up yeah it's all big you want to lock in that those
vibrant colors with a cold wash right and i also want the the shirt to hug my body my curves
hug my curves your curves
oh i jeff if i if i'm allowed to maybe pop something into your Dutton's delights,
I've got a Dutton delight as well.
I, the other day at work, we had a, our holiday party and I had these cool pair of pants.
I went to where they were a chocolate brown, chocolate brown corduroys.
Now, did they start off chocolate brown or was that during the course of the night?
You're making fun of me because i shit my pants all the shit i shit my pants a lot okay i all the time i sit down a restaurant i'm shit my pants then i eat this guy's a real log dropper
no uh the logs stay in place i assure you, the logs are staying quite where they should be in the toilet or my butt cheeks.
So these pants, they're cool.
They have this like embroidery thing on them and they're just too tight.
So I brought them in and I said to the wardrobe people, I said, hey, do you guys have one of those, uh, faster,
the things that gives you a little extra space, you know, on your belt. And they said, no, we
don't. I said, I don't believe that. They were also really busy. And this, uh, this guy I work
with, he's like, well, try this. It's called a pants stretcherer if i could sort of describe it for you guys it's like two
half moon pieces of wood on either end of a what are those supposed to represent yin and yang i'm
sorry jeff i thought that i was picturing like two wooden butt cheeks sorry no they're on they're
sort of almost like two d's facing each other you can you understand that you understand
dudden and tim you have no d's in your name so i don't know you gotta over explain it for him yeah
i'm lost and then in between you you twist this uh bar and it like makes the half moons go out
wider and wider so what you do you put those in the waist of your thing and you just keep twisting
and twisting and i did that all day i'd
go back to it and like twist it a little more and stretch it out a little more like a torture device
for your clothes yeah yeah the rack and and i'm doing i'm doing it right now with a pair of car
hearts but i wet the uh i wet the band this time now are you not afraid the button's gonna pop off
tim i was terrified all day doing this.
White knuckles.
You think to yourself, when's it going to just fucking pop?
It's called a cowboy pants stretcher.
Why isn't your waist naturally doing this when you wear the pants?
Is that not what our waists do?
It is.
But like to get it even like hooked around my waist,
it takes a lot.
Like, like I couldn't suck in enough to get this thing in.
Damn.
Like, like it's like my hip bones, like wouldn't get over.
So it needed that much, but I'm doing it right now to a pair of Carhartts
and it's called a cowboy, a cowboy pants stretcher. So it's more for
like horseback riders.
Dungarees and canvas
pants. Yeah, sure. Denim.
Denim. Oh, I could see it with jeans.
Denim. Denim. Denim stretches.
You don't need to do this
with pajama pants. Denim. Denim.
Sorry about Venom.
Hey, that would be a good funny mashup.
Denim for Venom. Denim. Denim. Venom. Sorry about Venom. Hey, that would be a good funny mashup. Venom for Venom.
Venom.
Venom.
Venom.
That's it for my part of Dutton's Delights.
Yeah, and that's it for my Dutton's Delights.
Tim, are we wrapped up for Booze News?
Wrap it up.
Oh. Damn. Was that part of a video game?
No. It's stock music with a little extra flavor
from the duds. A little extra honk honk. You know what I like about
Boozoos is we get out of it and we get in and get out of it the way they do in
what was that
Christopher Nolan movie with the spinning top
Inception.
We've been incepted out of
Booze News. Now we're back in the real world
and we need an architect, me, to design
the next level.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm playing the
the
who's the architect in that that was a DiCaprio.
Uh, no, he's, he's the main.
Yes.
No.
Is the architect, the sleeping guy, Elliot page, Elliot page is the, the, right.
I believe.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Okay.
So, uh, I will do that now.
Today we are revisiting a drink we've done before, and it's a drink, you know, as a,
as a cocktail podcaster,
you get the inevitable question,
so what's your favorite cocktail been so far?
And, you know, you play, you know, oh, geez, I like the Cosmo.
You wouldn't think it.
You know what was bad was the beef, whatever, beef shot, bull shot.
And then I say, you know what really got us?
Yeah.
The Trinidad Sour.
Mike, I said this on Jordan Jesse Go just a week ago.
Just moments ago.
You said that?
Yeah.
They said like, well, what's the craziest drink?
What's the best find? And I said, Trinidad Sour.
Make one for Christmas.
Ho, ho, ho.
And when people ask you that question, it's nice to have a good answer like buckle up
because I'm going to blow your mind with the
active ingredient
especially when people hear the bitters part of it
they go what
and then when they take that sip
oh that's the prestige that's the big
final number
oh yes speaking of Christopher Nolan again
so
this is just real quickly.
We've done this before, but the history of this little drink, it's a new drink.
2009.
Invented by Giuseppe Gonzalez at the Clover Club.
And I just said on the latest episode with Neil, I was there with Neil and Fran, friends of the pod, friends in real life, which is nice.
Because I have friends of the pod who I don't.
Oh, I'm not friends with in real life.
No.
Not you two.
Not you two.
But anyway, made the Clover Club.
I had one recently.
It was delicious.
It is Giuseppe Gonzalez took the idea from another drink called the Trinidad Especial,
which uses Pisco instead of Rye
This drink's gonna have Rye in it
And lime instead of lemon
Let me just tell you what's in it so we can
Move on
Fuck
We have Pisco now, we could have done the old one
I know, we do have Pisco, don't we
I have a bottle just sitting there
I have it on my phone
Milan, you gotta cut out all this crap.
No, leave it.
Leave it.
Leave it.
I like seeing him get frustrated by his browser tabs.
He's bouncing from screen to screen.
You're mad at your devices.
I'm going to start getting mad at you two.
You knew I was introducing this this drink can't you just
send me an email with the links i need
i don't think that's it's not that you don't have the links until you get confused in your tabs
yeah man hey man i confused my tabs at the latest grateful dead show all right here's guitar tabs
uh no i meant i I meant acid tabs.
Oh, shit. I'm such
an innocent little musician. Here we go.
Which I do not condone. That's not...
Okay. We're talking cocktails.
Here we go. This is the Trinidad Sour.
45
milliliters Angostura bitters. That's quite
a lot of bitters. What?
30 milliliters Orgeat syrup.
22.5 fresh
fresh
Jouer de Lemon.
Lemon juice.
50 milliliters rye whiskey.
Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker.
Shake well with ice. Strain
into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish is not applicable.
So don't put garnish on it. Don't you dare.
But yeah, Gonzales,, Gonzales. Oh,
the other cool thing about this was a friend of his, let's see, John Gersten, uh, co-founded the award-winning drink in Boston and ABV in San Francisco kind of helped him, uh, move this,
move this one along. Oh yeah. Cause you can have a good product, but you got to move it down the
chain, get it to the people. Well, yeah, he said it started getting sold a drink in Boston. Nice.
When we first did this drink on the show a few years ago, it really blew our mind. Cause we
also picked it off the IBA list. Not even, we were like, let's do a boring drink. And we didn't
really look at the recipe. And then we were like getting the ingredients. You're like,
what the fuck? And it's, I do remember that, that, that text was like, you were,
you were like,
you guys saw,
you made sure you saw it was like a lot of bitters in this,
right?
This is weird.
It's,
it's,
it's a high concept drink here.
Cause I,
people,
we didn't know that bitters are alcoholic.
We always thought it was just a little tasty thing that you do.
So it kind of blows your mind when you,
when you get to brag to someone and say,
Hey,
you know,
that bottle of bitters you got on your shelf, that's actually like 80 or 90 proof.
And it blows people's minds.
So that's Giuseppe's innovation here.
And I think it was maybe like part of a competition to use bitters or something like that.
But he called it Trinidad Sour because Angostura bitters are made in trinidad a lot of the time i always wonder why
maybe well there's rye whiskey in here and throws it off from just being a straight
like the obvious sour recipe but it could have just been called an angostura sour and then you
would know what you're making but i guess you wanted to give a little shout out to well i think
that's what this is the one that we kind of, came up with the term pinging and panging around on your,
in your mouth.
Oh yeah.
And that's what the different flavors go.
It's balanced and complex.
I remember thinking it was like being amazed that we made it,
that we made it ourselves.
Like it tastes like something you get at a good restaurant.
What a thrill when something is in your home,
but it seems professional and you're like that.
So I think we got all excited about it.
And then we decided to make, we thought it tasted sort of holiday-ish because of the Angostura bitters loaded with flavors that struck us as holiday.
And then we decided, let's make it a holiday tradition.
So we did this last Christmas, I believe.
Do we?
Last Christmas, we skipped because we were together and we did mulled wine.
Oh,
yes.
But we did have the original Trinidad sour episode.
Then that Christmas we did the Trinidad sour Christmas special.
So this is rightfully could be called Trinidad sour Christmas special too.
Yes.
And to make this the most special episode of all,
I've got a little surprise for you guys.
Whoa!
What?
Well.
It's not on the sheet.
Tim, let me talk to you off pod.
Mike, I'm not seeing this on the sheet, are you?
The sheet, my sheet is all wet
because I spilled a lot of Angostura bitters on it.
I says to myself, I says,
Tim, this is becoming a tradition
that this
we drink this cocktail
the sloppy boys
think of it as like
a Christmasy tradition
jeez I don't remember
doing this
two other times
I mean I remember
one other time
two times with this one
Mike you were drunk
there was the Trinidad Sour episode
then there was the
Trinidad Sour Christmas special
and this is Trinidad Sour
Christmas special two
yeah fuck
okay I
I missed that second one.
Can I get to my fucking surprise?
I just want to get that all squared away.
Is this good podcasting to be
confused about our own episode guide?
And how it's going and what's
coming next? I'm sure there's people out there
who are confused.
Yes, wow us
Tim. We're ready to be
dazzled.
This year I was like, I wonder if it's only us to think of it as a Christmas time.
I wonder what the creator of this drink would think.
No.
Because you know we've become Instagram friends with Giuseppe Gonzalez.
So I DM'd the man himself.
Come on. And I said, hey Giuseppe, now this is coming from the sloppy
boys account. Hey Giuseppe, we've been drinking the Trinidad sour every Christmas as a tradition.
What do you think of it as a Christmas drink when you invented it? Did you intend it for any
particular season? Pretty good, huh? That's great. Pretty good. And then within maybe like an hour, I get this wonderful response from Giuseppe.
Oh, this is great.
He said, I never thought of it that way.
I just wanted to see how shit works.
I leave the deeper purpose to people that feel a different connection to it.
So he's just the artist.
And he didn't want to imbue it with any meaning. He makes the thing
that tastes good. And then he lets us add the context. And then I gave, I think I have a typo
in my response. I said, Ooh, Ooh, damn good. Just Ooh, damn good. I think I meant to say,
Ooh, damn, that's a good response or something. I was at Albertson's doing the nog report.
good response or something but i was at albertson's doing the nog report and i just oh damn good it's just in on the nog report table okay damn good i never thought of it that way
i just wanted to see how shit works i leave the deeper purpose to people that feel a different
connection to it i like that cool or it reminds me of jerry garcia when you when you asked me he was
asked like what do you want your legacy to be he's like i don't care and like well what do you
have he's like well i i did what i do i do what i do i don't care if i'm remembered i don't that's
that that's not my thing that's cool man yeah giuseppe seems like i mean he doesn't drink
anymore right that's part of it i don't know Is that wrong? No, I think it does sound like we heard that from some bartender or from about some bartender.
But I think on his Instagram, he talks about sobriety and fitness.
And he's he's he seems like he's a very got his shit together type of guy.
Was he the author, Tim, of that?
I think it was a New Yorker something that you brought in.
It was like him ranking all the different pop drinks. Cocktails that never mattered.
It was a very angry list.
And then, yeah, and at the end, he said the Trinidad Sour.
He roasted himself.
Well, because he roasts the ones he loves, so it was an act of self-love.
That's good.
That's good.
Well, hey, do we make Giuseppe proud?
Do we go shake up some Trinidad Sours?
Yes, we do.
Yes.
Do you guys all have Orgeat, the almond syrup that is often used in Mai Tais?
Yes.
Yes, I do.
That's another weird thing to have in a sour, huh?
Going to Orgeat instead of like a sour mix or simple.
We've broken all the rules and guess what?
It worked.
Yeah.
I like doing it.
I like it.
I'm going to talk to you guys about the bitters when we get back.
I've got an interesting idea for round two.
Oh, God.
I can't wait to hear it.
But for now, we're going to go make these drinks, folks.
We'll see you right back here
after the ads.
Wow.
Our bag!
With the Trinidad Sour, the most staining
drink on the pod. Pop popping that top off it's opaque
it looks like a beef broth or something man popping the top off that thing just like sprays
dark red in every direction oh of your angus story oh yeah i bit it off with my teeth really
i've stained shirts. White shirts.
I've stained shirts.
It's a fun.
It's a thrill to pull that thing off.
You're always dashing with the dasher, but pop it off and pour, baby.
Sips?
Yeah.
Ooh.
Oh, velvet.
Hello, old friend.
There's the pinging and panging i know know so well i nailed the recipe
too i nailed it to the letter of the law me too except i didn't have rye so i used bourbon oh
that's good wild yeah i didn't write it tastes like leather huh it tastes like a leather boot. It does leave, it leaves a good, like, uh, uh, what's the way I don't know.
There's gotta be a term for this thing where you kind of have like aftertaste.
Yeah.
Aftertaste.
But like, it's more of a breath, you know, it's, it's not just like, oh, you can smell
it on your breath.
It's like, ah, you can feel like in your chest.
You know me.
I love a nice warming or cooling whole front chest feel.
Do you ever put a Vicks VapoRub on your chest?
No, I don't like to cheat it.
I like to get it the real way.
Naturally.
It's got to be natural, Tim.
Here's what I like.
We all know the classic sour recipe is two ounces of liquor,
one ounce of something sweet, one ounce of something sour. And then usually with that of liquor one ounce of something sweet one ounce of
something sour and then usually with that that one ounce of sweet and sour to your personal taste
you could go a little bit less a little bit more how you like it i feel like giuseppe perfect it's
not two ounces angostura it's got it's one and a half ounce and then you have the half ounce of
to make it two ounces of liquor but then the one ounce Orgeat, and then he dialed down the lemon a little bit to three quarters of an ounce.
And so mine is just absolutely perfect.
It's not too sour, and it's just a velvet, velveteen velvet.
Velveteen rabbit.
I'm proud as hell of you, too.
Proud of you.
I'm proud of you. Proud of you too. Proud of you. I'm proud of you.
I'm proud of you.
Is that a jerky boys thing?
I'm very proud of you.
I forget what he's, one of the guys is talking to like a mechanic and he's like, or a construction guy.
He's like, yeah, we got flatbeds and we got a thing.
He's like, oh, you do?
I'm very proud of you.
Proud of someone you don't know.
Remember
when
great piano
great Bruce Hornsby was interviewed
on Jam Base
about his time
in The Grateful Dead, and they're like, what was
Jerry like? And he was like, oh, Jerry's the best.
He was so funny. Jerry's the one who turned me on to
the Jerky Boys.
Oh, yeah. Anderry garcia loved to listen to jerky boys tapes he's like the green room like as if we all know of course bruce hornsby's a huge jerky boys man
hornsby's a jerky boys head but come on but where'd he get it could be funnier than like
two they were they were in their 40s at that point. They were listening to prank calls and laughing.
Man, who's going to turn me on to the Jerky Boys?
I'm still sort of like unschooled.
I've listened to the Jerky Boys in the past couple of years.
It does not age well.
Yeah, I bet.
Like the audio quality?
Yeah.
Just as a kid hearing the guy like, yeah, how you doing there, rubberneck?
Yeah, sure.
Man, I used to love the WBCN DJ.
Like, we had Opie and Anthony.
Did you guys have Opie and Anthony?
Yep.
We didn't have it where I was from, but yeah.
They were like.
I never listened, but I remember them being a big thing.
Yeah, they were like very misbehaving on the radio doing pranks. I think they had some prank, they had some prank where they, they announced that the mayor was dead or something like that.
And they got fired.
They,
yeah,
I heard that they,
they had like audio of two people,
like having sex on Valentine's day,
going to a church.
Yeah.
Going to a church and having sex.
I think they had sex in a,
in a confessional.
Yeah.
They better confess to the fornication.
Well, they had funny little prank call CDs and my friends
laughed and laughed. I never got into the
Jerky Boys. Jerky Boys had a movie too, didn't they?
Yeah.
Is it worth a damn? I don't know.
It's so good.
It's so good.
Imagine.
I remember when my friend and I
at my friend's house, he was the first one
to get Napster.
And we downloaded something called Touchtone Terrorists.
And it was like Jerky Boys.
And it was just like, this guy had a really small little, I remember like old man voice.
And then I thought it was so funny.
I was like, hey, what are you talking about?
That's great.
He sounds like the gopher from Winnie the Pooh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, did you guys call them crank calls growing up or just prank calls i call them prank calls prank with a p
that's so funny to me that like people then the yankers came along and started cranking them
well that's that's the yeah my dad would say crank call and i was like you're all you're crazy
and then crazy old man yeah when crank Yankers came on, I said,
Dad, I might be wrong about this whole thing.
Dad was right.
Dad was right. Bo was right.
I can't
believe it to be true.
Oh.
Oh.
Whoa.
Angostura, I was going to say something about
Angostura
Bitters is a good drink.
It's a good drink.
Yeah.
Good drink.
What was I going to say about the drink?
Oh, I was going to say for my next round.
I usually don't do second round.
I haven't been doing it lately.
First of all, this one's already half gone.
Yeah.
Half full.
And for the next one, I'm going to try
orange bitters
instead of Angostura bitters.
Michael.
Entirely different drink. That'll be interesting.
Yeah, that will be interesting.
It's not Angostura orange bitters.
No, it's just like orange bitters.
What is it over there?
Watkins orange bitters.
I was thinking for my next round,
I'm going to not do the rye,
just two ounces of bitters.
And then I'm going to see what it's like on the rocks.
Fuck all that.
You're doing even more bitters.
You're going to break the bitter barrier,
man.
He broke the bitter barrier.
What happened on episode one 68?
They broke the bitter barrier.
Tim broke the bitter barrier.
We didn't get him back.
You know what I would try if I had it?
I don't know if I do.
Subbing out the Angostura for payshodes.
Wild.
You know?
Payshodes, yeah.
Because like orange is,
orange is so orange.
I have it,
but I don't want to kill two ounces of all these expensive bitters.
I know, yeah. I, for some
reason, well, I know the exact reason. I didn't think
I had orange bitters, and then so I bought
a thing, and now I've got a big
one and a small one. Are you guys
as annoyed as I am about how
bitters, it's like, is it plural?
Is it singular? You say bitters are good?
Bitters is good? I don't know.
Oh, interesting.
We'll ask you.
Oh, that's what the next thing you say to Giuseppe Gonzalez on your DM.
Yeah.
Hey, is it plural?
And he's like, yeah, it's plural.
And I go, ooh, damn good.
Damn good.
He's like, damn good.
Who is this guy?
Ooh, damn good.
Ooh, damn good.
Ooh, damn good.
Ooh, damn good.
Sorry, I'm focused on the nog report you know what i almost
did was i also have uh ginger bitters because i bought those i couldn't find a certain bitter i
needed and for a drink here and i remember getting ginger bitters i don't even think i used them
but that would be a whole nother drink too but i want to try the orange now we have rhubarb
bitters from the lavender oh i love rhubarb bitters from the lavender. Oh, I love rhubarb bitters.
Oh,
that's,
you know what?
That's,
that must be why I got these,
uh,
ginger bitters.
Cause it was like,
it's another crazy bitter,
but I don't know.
I'm curious to see how these other bitters will swap in because I mean,
they're very,
very different.
And,
uh,
you know,
they call bitters,
the salt and pepper of cocktails,
but I feel like Angostura is more of a pepper and some other ones are more of a salt.
Like, it might be fascinating.
This is so good.
It's so velvety.
It's so frothy.
Maybe it's stupid to put on the rocks.
I don't know.
But I stand by the Christmas-y.
You could drink this all year round.
It's definitely an evening drink anytime. This is a great
Christmas drink. I think a tray of these
for your family and your cousin.
Yeah, start saving up so you can make a tray
of these for your family. It's true.
It is a money sucker. There's always that
cousin whose family
went out of town for Christmas on a big
trip and he couldn't because he works at
his, he's got his new
finance job in New York City
and he really wants to put in all the hours.
So he stays there until December 24th afternoon
and he's got to go somewhere, don't he?
Don't he?
Hits me with my parents every year about me.
Hey, I got to go somewhere, don't I?
Yeah, you do have to go somewhere.
Let me inside.
Let me open my gifts. You bought me gifts. You wrapped them. I see them. Let me inside. Let me open my gifts.
You bought me gifts.
You wrapped them.
I see them.
Let me inside to take them.
Let me in, you bitch.
Don't make me grinch them like I did last year.
It's nice to get in the night before and take them.
I'm a grinch.
I'll do it.
I'll grinch your whole family.
Your family's our family.
I got a little bit more to go before we do a second round.
But
I heard that Tim had like a song.
Ooh, yeah, Tim, you had a
parody song you want to do, right? You should do that now.
We don't have to do it.
I feel like we're running long. It doesn't matter.
Nah, come on.
How about this?
This is the Grinch.
His heart growing two sides is too big.
Me, the guy who wants to leave all the time the pod i say we extend it and we do this openly yawns on the air
sure and by the time he's we're done um do it okay um a little bit i mean i so i you know i
like doing parody songs and around christmas i it's always fun to like take, do a Christmas parody song and, uh, you know, they can be really funny.
Hey, it's the season.
I was coming up with ideas for Christmas parody songs and, uh, you know,
I, I wanted to make, uh, you know, me, I like to, I like clean comedy.
I tend to work clean and I wanted to make a kind of a nice, a funny song that with a little bit of class to it that, you know,
so we could all share a seasonal laugh.
Hold on.
Tend to work clean is a new year's resolution.
Cause this guy talks about his sperm all the time.
Well,
that's the anatomical word for the little swimmers that launch out.
And they don't forget the turd talk.
Yeah, a lot of turd talk.
That's more concerning.
But for this, he likes to work clean.
Well, I just, you know, the tradition of doing a nice,
like a Christmas parody song,
that would be funny for the family or whatever.
But I don't know.
Just when I was thinking about doing it on the show,
I was thinking about our listeners and they, I was thinking about our listeners and,
and they,
I mean,
you know,
our listeners,
they tend to be,
uh,
all ages,
nasty boys.
Oh,
okay.
Yeah.
Nasty boys.
Yeah.
Nasty boys,
nasty gals.
They're out there.
They like all the,
they like all that nasty,
filthy comedy.
They're alt comedy podcasty people.
And they get all excited when you're yeah they
really only laugh at the stuff that's that's right just filthy and nasty and all that and you know
we don't like that but we'll stumble into that territory once in a while and the reaction it
gets from the listeners really makes you yeah i love it you wish you didn't have to do that and
sink that low but you do so i hate going low and, but, you know, if that's what I want to be a comedian in these times and
that's what plays well.
You got to compete with, you know, you got all these celebrities.
They could be, they could switch over to listen to Smartless or Ellie Kemper.
Like.
Exactly.
The middle class podcasters are duking out here trying to make a living.
So, so yeah, so that is what i ended up doing
i kind of scrapped my other ideas and i kind of threw together kind of some uh you know the
the type of dirty filthy nasty comedy that our listeners think is oh so funny and so this is
gonna be like a medley uh no it's a song that i'm gonna sing live now gotcha gotcha gotcha um okay so uh fine whatever
um yeah let's uh i hope you guys enjoy this here we go
it's nice oh Oh, holy night.
The stars are brightly shining.
It's a beautiful song.
It is the night of our dear Savior's cock.
Whoa!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared and he had two big huge boys
A thrill of come
The weary world jacks off.
Tim.
And yonder breaks a new and glorious porn.
Fall on your knees.
Oh, there's lovingness, I bet.
And while you're down there,
give a blow job.
Oh,
night.
Ass.
Oh,
night.
Ass. Oh, O' night. Ow.
O' night.
Gooding.
O' night.
Some type of foot or shit fetish.
Some type of foot or shit fetish.
I was won over by that in the end.
The Christmas spirit got me. Yeah, you can't shake the Christmas spirit out of that song.
Yeah, because you probably felt my warm heart behind it all.
I was reluctantly saying all that filthy trash.
But the sentiment was still nice.
The spirit of the season, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Well, Tim that was uh absolutely filthy yeah and uh uh i think i liked it
you guys heard of gooting yeah that's what i wanted to ask you what is that because i've seen
that word before but it's well apparently it's when
you're you're you're masturbating and you're edging yourself to the point where you're into
a goon like trance
turn into a goon yeah but it's meditative it's not it's not like a it's not like a selfish, you know, what's it called?
Dionysian trance.
It's supposed to be like a transcendental like, oh, I'm
fucking gooning, man.
So people will goon
for hours on end, Mike.
Yeah, I've been doing it weeks.
And they like that. Well, sometimes
I'll be out in public and I'll see somebody kind of acting
and I'll be at a bar or something and someone's kind of like
maybe too drunk or something like
hey, are you gooning, man?
Don't goon me, dude!
Don't goon me, man!
Oh, God. Well, hey, why don't we
clean up the talk for one?
Yes! And we'll go make
a second round and when we come back
we'll be good little church boys
and we'll give our final thoughts on a very
good balanced,
complex cocktail.
Can I get my final thoughts now?
I mean,
come on.
All right.
No,
I'll stick with tradition.
Yes.
We stick with tradition here on the pod.
Thank you.
Fiddler on the roof.
I've never seen Fiddler on the roof but everyone
it's mookie's a huge fan yeah that dude i gotta see it it's is it the movie probably there's
probably one movie that's like the biggie yeah the movie's great he knows all the musical stuff

he likes hammerstein i've never heard him talk about Rogers very much.
I hate Rogers.
Hey, you know, I was thinking about this too recently that, uh, if being a, um,
Asgardian trickster is the vibe, then Loki is Loki Loki.
You, yeah, you were thinking that recently.
Lately?
That was a week ago.
Yeah, it's pretty, I mean, as as the uh history of the universe goes jeff

And we're back with round two, Trinidad Sour.
Jeff, you know what that
music sounds like to me what it's like a very cheaply made and i know it's like uh
that's just like free music it's just like a cheaply made like video game like a mickey mouse
teaches typing video game or like a veggie tales.
It gives me pangs of, uh, I get really missed out the nostalgic for like, uh, Mr. Show when
you hear music like that. Cause it's like, yeah, Evan Schletter is this great composer,
but he was like, you know, working off his keyboard. So he had to like crank out these big,
uh, sweeping scores with a little cast. Yeah. They just like smack of like,
there's a little bit of midi or, you know, it's a little rinky-dink,
but in a fun way.
There's like a trill, like a
rilly-lilly-lilly to it.
Alright, go ahead, Jeff.
You were asking us what we did differently.
Yeah, I just did more lemon juice.
Just barely 30 mil.
I did
no rye,
all Angostura. Two ounces of Angostura.
Oh my God.
And I did it on the rocks.
Look at that.
Ooh, that helps you fill out the glass.
Looks like a beet juice, huh?
Yeah, it does.
I did regular measurements, but orange bitters.
Mike, you go first, man.
I can't wait.
Oh, still cloudy.
Gave me sort of a peach
looking thing. Have you tried it yet? Is this a real first sip? This is a real first sip. Oh my
God. Ooh, that's not bad. Really? Oh yeah. You know, wow. Is orange bitters just as alcoholic
as Angostura? That's a good question. My. My bottle's way over there. Maybe I'll get it
in a second.
It's like, yeah, it's very
orangey tasting.
There's not as much pinging and panging.
Because it's bitter.
All bitters are bitter, I guess, by
technical flavor profile.
The coordinates on the tongue.
But
orange just tastes so different from angostura
bitters like i have a bunch of payshodes i was going to do the payshodes swap but then i tasted
some yeah i was like this isn't even close to angostura it's funny that the two are sort of
interchangeable as aromatic bitters it's like no they're two very different tastes
that's a good discovery mike it's interesting it interesting. It's interesting. I, you know,
if,
if I were to tinker with this in the kitchen,
I would do less of the orange bitters.
Like 45 is too much for orange bitters,
but it was some whiskey.
Like,
uh,
Giuseppe does.
Ooh,
damn.
I'm going in,
taking a sip of my full fledged Angost Angostura Sour on the Rocks.
No whiskey.
Pow!
I shit my pants.
Wait, that was just Angostura?
Two ounces of Angostura, no rye.
Delicious, but yeah, a bit much.
I think it was a smart move to roll back the Angostura.
I can drink this because I'm kind of a weirdo,
but I would think that your common
person would find this to be
like you're just drinking something
that's not really meant to be drank.
For weirdos and gooners alike.
I did a little extra
lemon and it tastes good. You know, it's a little
brighter. It's sort of the opposite
of what you did, Tim.
I think you can also dial up a little Orgeat.
Did I put Orgeat in this? I did. Oh, I hope so. I did. What kind of Orgeat tim you know i think you can also dial up a little orgeat did i put orgeat in this i did oh i hope so i did what kind of orgeat you guys using i'm using trader vicks
which is like a corn syrup a very amaretto flavor are you guys using fee brothers which has a little
citrus tang to it fees i got a big bottle of fees i forget mine it's in the fridge now but it's like
very tiki-ish looking on the outside yeah it looks like it should be in the fridge now, but it's like very tiki-ish looking on the outside.
Yeah, it looks like it should be in the fridge.
Mine's not.
I put it in the fridge.
Yeah, I don't know.
Because it's so milky and sugary looking.
Yeah, where do you put milk?
Depends.
I think Fee Brothers, I would put that one in the fridge.
Trader Vic's, I don't.
But I really like the nutty ones.
There's some that are like very almondy, crunched up peanut butter.
If you like the nutty ones, you're gonna
love your two co-hosts, Tim. Come on!
Some people say that to me
disparagingly
about the pod. They say, oh, I listen to your
podcast. It's kind of nutty. What the
fuck? Fuck you!
I said, oh, you heard the
Orjata episode. No, no, no. I think you guys,
the three of you are nuts.
Ugh! Piss off! Piss off! I was in England. Piss off! Or a shot episode. No, no, no. I think you guys, the three of you are nuts. Oh. Huh?
Piss off.
Piss off.
I was in England.
Piss off.
Sod it.
Wanker.
Suck my knob.
Fool.
You fool.
I live in a flat.
I'm in a flat.
With my knob.
Me and my knobs are a flat. Me and my knob share a flat.
Me and my...
I play with my...
I play with my knob when I'm in the loo.
But not the lorry.
That's a truck.
That's a truck.
Do they have their own word for gooning?
I wonder.
Oh yeah, probably.
Right? Gooning.
Gooning. They just say it with a little twang Me and my mates
Gonna goon after work
Oh you're gonna hit a transcendental
Meditative stage
In England
Gooning means eating soccer balls
Don't you call it football?
Soccer balls means baseballs.
Everything's weird over there.
Fucking weeds.
Weeds with these English guys.
Yeah.
Watch out for them.
Wait, do we do final thoughts?
No.
You know the final thoughts, Jeff.
Yeah, we love them.
Order again.
Order forever.
Stone Cold Classic.
Favorite drink ever done on the pod as far as drink that I didn't know about that I came to know.
Yeah.
As a discovery.
And if you want to try the orange bitters thing, try it.
It's very particular, but that's not bad.
Particular.
But Mike, you're opening up a whole new world of bitters-based drinks.
Bitters-based drinks. Bitters based drinks.
God, it would be so cool if we could get Giuseppe

so based. Dude, bitters drinks are based.
