Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Ooh, hi. And Tim Kalpakis. What is up? And we are your hosts, the band, the Sloppy Boys. Now you can hear us giggling, folks. And it's probably because we are live.
Starting point is 00:00:34 I thought we said we weren't going to talk about it. We're going to talk about it. We have to talk about it. But also, we're not live. We're not live. We're not live. This is a mess. This is a mess. We're alive. That's what I meant to say. We're alive with excitement. Yeah, we're not we're not live we're not live we're not live this is a mess this is a mess we're alive
Starting point is 00:00:45 that's what i meant to say we're alive with excitement yeah we're alive with excitement we're alive with excitement because folks we are hopefully coming to you on video if all goes well if all goes well and if you all pay the patreon level you'll see us digitally i don't know if that's how it will be. As far as we know, it just means we're rolling on video. We're just seeing each other. We always see each other when we're recording the podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Yeah, this is not really different. But now maybe the audience could see us. It's just that we're juiced up. Yeah, I'm pretty juiced. I took a shower for this. Usually there's flies buzzing about. Yeah, your hair looks great. I know. Well, thanks. I combed it because I knew I was going to be on TV.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Mike, why you got to do the whole shower? And why don't you just kind of wash your head if you're going to only have your face on camera? Well, I was in the shower. That's what I kind of did, Tim, actually. But all of me was in the shower. But special emphasis on his head yes yes the the head got the treat the uh shampoo and conditioner treatment okay and then i just i just left the ass there were some memes a couple years ago about how uh guys don't wash their legs that it was
Starting point is 00:02:03 like you just kind of watch like the pits and the crotch and the butt and then the hot spots keep moving the hot spots I never really thought about I don't even know what I was doing before but ever since that thing was memed now I'm scrubbing the shit out of these legs man I got the
Starting point is 00:02:19 bar I got the Irish spring right on the calf going all that hair really eats up the soap you know I got the Irish spring right on the calf going. Well, all that hair really eats up the soap, you know? You're like sanding it down, sanding down a good bar. It would have lasted a while. The bar's got a big curve in the middle of it because where he was washed. It kind of does. I'm telling you, I'm back on bars.
Starting point is 00:02:40 The body wash era is over. No more loofahs. I'm like a kid in the 90s just grabbing a bar of zest and putting it right on my body. Just craving it. The body wash was a short-lived phenomenon for me. I got it. And I was like, yeah, I'll do the puffer and everything. And then I said, you know what?
Starting point is 00:03:00 I like the bar. I like the bar, too. But lately, I'm a Bronner's guy. I'm a Dr. Bronner disciple. But that's in a loofah, right? I go just chest hair. What about legs? That's kind of what I do is I use the chest hair as a loofah and then I'm going back for more.
Starting point is 00:03:17 That's Grand Central. And then the soles kind of just go from there. You detach your chest hair mop. It's a quick hop to the armpits. That's great. That's no problem. I'd say just do the armpits and let those things squirrel all around. Scrub the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Squirrel all around. If I could get my armpits to detach and wash the rest of my body, I'd be a rich man. That would rock. Well, what's going on with you guys? I wanted to say something about the Dr. Bronner's. I tried that stuff once and I went too hard on it and went right to some sensitive zones with a full undiluted. The nard. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:03 And that's not where that's but it then starts getting real hot it got real spicy you didn't do that thing where you put the nozzle right up to your meatus and then squeeze the bottle and it emptied the whole thing right up into your urethra did you i didn't do that thing oh yeah a lot of people are doing that thing that one i didn't do that one i didn't do it is uh it's spicy i love that stuff and as you know in college i read on it's got the crazy ramblings on the label and it says it's 18 and 1 uses and i was using it for all the i i i brushed my teeth with it that's the one that always sounds crazy to me. Well, no, the craziest one is that I did my fucking laundry with it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:46 That is. If you had a dog, you'd wash the dog, too. That's true. But there's a nice uniformity to be like, smell my teeth. Now smell my clothes. Same soap. That's Tim's smell. Wait, so it's body wash, shampoo, laundry detergent, toothpaste.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Dishes. Dishes. Floor. Mop the floor. Yeah, I don't know how they get to 18. 18? Well, they kind of spread it out. They're like, you can do your top teeth.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Hey, you can do your bottom teeth too. Each tooth is a different one. How many teeth we got? 32? Is that an adult human? Sounds about right. Sounds like it. It's not not worth googling i don't know the show nah uh hey wait flavor wise though you doing peppermint i'm all peppermint um yeah that i mean i have also i like the almond one because it smells like disarono but uh but yeah the spicy peppermint one is the way to go and you really scrub hard and
Starting point is 00:05:46 then you come on you're like ouch there's a movie about dr bronner himself and um he's demonstrating how you use it sometimes he like puts it right on a towel and he rubs it all but he's like standing naked in his bathroom toweling down and he's talking about how to use it and he's like first you move your bowels and then you do this i'm like i'll move my bowels on my own schedule don't you worry that's not your jurisdiction i thought you're gonna say it's like a movie about dr brauner like elijah wood is dr brauner like the air treatment or the or i don't know just like a like a hollywood movie it's just the guy made his own movie and he kicks it off with clear in the bowels i mean the the documentary as far as i remember goes nowhere it's like hey this is the soap guy all right dang hey speaking of the multiplex do i have news for you too
Starting point is 00:06:37 yes well i thought you'd say like wow do you wow what? Wow. What's the news? No, I'm hoping it's Deadpool related. Is it Deadpool related? Well, here's the thing. Deadpool, we both know, comes out. We all know. All three of us. July 26, 2024, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackers. And don't forget Taylor Swift, possibly rumored.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Oh, right. But before we have all that fun. Yeah. Despicable Me 4, July 3rd. Yes, the boys are back. I'll be there. I'll be there. The Minions 2.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Wait, I don't think that we cover, we don't cover Minion News. We do Deadpool because Mike thinks Ryan Reynolds is the funniest comedian. No, Tim, Minion News is taking over Deadpool News. No, no, no. I think Hugh Jackman's the funniest comedian. Oh, wait till you see this trailer. The Minions are back, baby. I don't care for Gru.
Starting point is 00:07:37 I don't care for Gru and his family, but the Minions. God, I love them. I saw it at a screening of Zone of Interest, which seemed like an interesting pairing for that movie. Oh, I thought I was breaking news here. But you didn't even mention, Jeff, that I saw news that Deadpool has wrapped principal photography. Wow. That's a good update.
Starting point is 00:08:00 That's what Deadpool is. but on the minion front remember when we all three of us were going to see the last minions movie some some slophead uh recognized one of us in the lobby was like hey mike yeah oh oh jeff oh tim oh jesus all of you yeah of course it was embarrassing oh god why do you guys what are you doing but my favorite one of those ever though was when we were at the hopscotch music festival and we're making our way through the crowd and a guy saw Jeff and then he turned to me and he goes, that's like, I just saw that. Can you believe that? Like you'd be impressed. Like you've been sitting on a plane with me. Please. You're preaching the choir. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:08:41 I'm sure a hotel room with him. How about that? All right. Can we get into a little booze news, please? Sure. Yes, hit it. King of Thrones. My eyes are getting weary. My back is getting tight. I'm sitting here in traffic on the Queensboro Bridge tonight.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Cause baby, all my life I will be driving home to you. Fucking sick. King of Thrones was sent to us by Kyle, a.k.a. X-Height on the Discord. And if you have a theme, email it, email it to the sloppy voice podcast at gmail.com. And if you want to befriend Kyle, subscribe to our Patreon,
Starting point is 00:09:35 join the discord and Kyle's going to be a buddy. Do we want to befriend Kyle? What the fuck was that? Well, I said King of Thrones. I remember Mike saying King of Thrones. Oh, right. King of Queens. You called game of Thrones, King of Thrones. I remember Mike saying King of Thrones. Oh, right. King of Queens.
Starting point is 00:09:46 You called Game of Thrones King of Thrones, and then we made fun of it, talking about like it's a King of Queens type show. And then he took the liberty of adding all the flatulence. And then adds the farts, right? Yeah. Because maybe Kevin James' character. Which is lowbrow, lowest common denominator type shit.
Starting point is 00:10:02 I think that was Kevin James' character, one of his personality traits on that show. He farted all the time. Alright. I watched Kevin James' new stand-up special on Netflix and he's got a dyed beard. Much like Marshall Mathers.
Starting point is 00:10:19 You know when a guy has a jet black beard? And Kevin James has a big shaved head now and a big dark beard. And he kind of slimmed down. It's a whole new Kevin James. Remember that meme? That's a funny move. Oh, the meme is great where he just looks like a little shit.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Another guy shaved his head and has the goatee. One of the two and a half men. You know the guy? He creepy john crier yes john crier not pulling off the look hopefully kevin james is rocking it and he's got another again not pulling i know none of them are and john crier has a new multi-game sitcom that's like another go around the here we go another go around the bend another go around with your step kids this time i'm with i'm living in a situation that's a little different than usual but also different than two and a half men oh god yeah john cryer's got that look like i know like andrew tate is a muscle man i guess like he's got muscles you know andrew tate i'm not sure who that is hold on he's like
Starting point is 00:11:31 the uh he's a toxic uh you don't know who the entertainer is oh yes yes he's got like a shaved head and a goatee and he just looks kind of like yeah kind of like a pushover. He looks kind of, I don't know. A dingus. He looks like a dingus. And he doesn't look like Charles Barkley, or he definitely doesn't look like The Rock or Jason Statham. Nah. Damn.
Starting point is 00:11:57 But I mean, I think that's just a playbook. Lots of guys, as soon as they're losing their hair, they just shave it. But I like a balding, like you leave some fuzz back back there be a little shaggy back there it's great you look unique i think so i think it's tough though if somebody's like a muscle man that look is more of a uh 70s muscle man look what is the bald with the hair still some fuzz shit tell that to the fast and the furious crew they all got that look i know but that's i would love to i'd love to stop by set they should make a new fast and furious movie that's all that they got flappy hair fucking 13 celebrities i'd love to
Starting point is 00:12:39 have a day like that i'd love to have some of the biggest, both physically and a box office celebrities in front of my face and me telling them that their hairstyle doesn't work. It is funny though, like those movies to me literally would be better if instead of just shiny cue balls and muscular, like if those guys had different flappy hair and different hair, like, well, it would just be like more to look at. You'd be like, well, that guy's got male pattern baldness.
Starting point is 00:13:08 That guy's got a bald spot up top. This guy's got ally of Frady hair. More to look at, more to digest, more to digest him. Some of these, some of these, uh,
Starting point is 00:13:17 cars in this movie are going out to space. Yeah. Yeah. And you need more. But Tim likes to tune into a human, human you know he doesn't love all that like flash and bang sort of stuff um also uh on the bald head front a whole cast on the whole cast bald head front breaking bad that was sort of like a thing they ultimately did like hank hank like Hank, Hank, Jesse, Walt, eventually shaves his head. Jesse, Walt,
Starting point is 00:13:45 and Mike Ehrmantraut, Mike Ehrmantraut, Gus, short hairs all around. Jesus Christ. And they say that, um, short hair and like the receding hair is a trait of high testosterone.
Starting point is 00:13:58 I think that's why all these things do it. Not us. Low T. Three, three sloppy boys with three big pompadours not one sperm between us wait what's the actual booze news we did the thing again where we just yeah we're not that's okay do we have any i don't have any okay um this was a the type of thing that i like to ignore until it is sent to me by a disproportionate amount of uh slop heads and i simply couldn't ignore it and then i said oh i see why you're sending me this because it might tick off a certain mike hanford um i'm linking
Starting point is 00:14:38 you to it but tick off it's not what i do this a. A viral video on Instagram recently, a drink called Shrek Piss. Ah, yes. It is a green, yellow, Long Island iced tea type drink invented by the Instagram account Tipsy Goat Cocktails. Went viral. But Shrek Piss comes right on the heels of Mike's Grimace Piss. It does. Suspiciously on the heels, yeah. Suspiciously, yes.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Jeff, I thank you for saying that. I couldn't finish that word. It's also coming. This might make a little sense time-wise. We came out with Grimace piss. They have more than enough time to get Shrek piss in the test kitchen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:20 I don't like this. They're hacks. And like, is Shrek having a moment right now? Oh, he's been having a moment since 2021. Yeah, but Grimace was the star of the month. When you came out with star of the month. Grimace, you win star of the month. I think, I mean, McDonald's chose to make Grimace the star of that month.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I think that Shrek is having like a resurgence in an ironic way. Like, did you see that there's like a Shrek, Shrek is having like a resurgence in an ironic way. Like, did you see that? There's like a Shrek, Shrek rave and there's all these ravers dressed like Shrek. It's like, there's, there's, there's winky Shrek-y winkiness going around. And I feel like that, you know, like remember a couple of years ago, everyone was like referencing Frasier, like it was the funniest reference. And then now Frazier is just back and you're like, well, reference it enough. And there you go.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Yeah. Man. Wait, Shrek. I feel like Shrek's been, been sort of a funny quote unquote random punchline for like years. Yeah. It's cause like, you know what I mean? Like we were kind of too old for Shrek really. Like people, um, five, 10 ten years younger than us like grew up with
Starting point is 00:16:26 Shrek and that's like a funny reference it's still good to them you know it's like Pokemon or Arthur or something remember when Tim and Eric did a thing where they would they went to the Shrek movie that was great like green paint they're like nobody was paying for it and they just did ads just took it out on themselves to do a whole fleet of
Starting point is 00:16:42 ads for what is it Shrek 3 they did a press junkie and they were like the weight is ogre oh god um that's good wait but here listen to the the the recipe here for shrek piss is a whole you know like it's in the genre of like an amf or a or a long island it's uh tequila peach schnapps gin triple sex sour apple pucker watermelon pucker midori sweet and sour mix pineapple juice so it's it's you know like half ounce of a bunch of million different things sure and a bunch of those are bright green to start with like midori and midori watermelon pucker i assume you could
Starting point is 00:17:23 probably lose a lot of these and still have the same effect but they really want they went it doesn't seem like it's the type of drink that's made to be ingested right it feels like it's just an instagram video yeah unlike the grimace piss right right right grimace piss was meant to be brought onto a podcast and not really fully dialed in yet and then have it taste really bad and then have the creator act like it wasn't his fault yeah the three of us the three of us came kind of came up with that together so the three of us made that and tested it the creator keeps saying that yeah the creator is very uh sticking to that point he's sticking with that idea yeah very much you know you don't
Starting point is 00:18:02 see steve jobs out there saying like actually you, you know, we all did this. No, because his products took off some of them. Yeah. But he's not out there trying to push the credit onto other people. He stands by his product. Right. Because he's got good quality products that everyone's buying. No one liked the Grimace Piss. So now I need to bring others in. Well, I'm, Hey, I like it over Shrek piss, Mike. Thank you. You'll never catch me drinking Shrek piss. Good. Puss in Boots spits.
Starting point is 00:18:32 I'll never catch you drinking a Grimace piss again. Maybe. You might. Constantly. Is that it for Booze News? Wrap it up. Excitebike? That's wrapped That was great
Starting point is 00:18:48 Does anyone know it? No, no I'm gonna guess Ninja Turtles No, close So close You couldn't be much closer, Mike Oh, Double Dragon Battletoads?
Starting point is 00:18:59 Yes, Battletoads Fuck I never thought about that Battletoads. Fuck. I never thought about that. Battletoads came after. That's stupid. But at least they didn't do like the, you know, they didn't try to do an analogy for every word in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It wasn't like Mighty Morphin Power Ranger.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Yeah. Adolescent freakazoid middle-, aardvarks or whatever. That's not bad. Okay, with booze news shrinking into the rear view once again, we turn our attention to the drink of the day. Bye. Who's got it? I do.
Starting point is 00:19:39 And you guys must recall a couple weeks ago that we did a drink called the gin fizz oh yeah still hung over from that one it was quite tom collinsy indeed was it not sure but it did have that froth and it had that clonk clonk clonk ice because due to the egg white and we learned that a fizz is basically a sour with soda uh and there were in the late 1800s early 1900s there was a lot of fizzes uh but today we're tackling the big mama the one that made its way uh to the international bartenders association cocktail list and we're almost the most popular yeah yeah we're in the home stretch on this one um but this year drink is called the ramos fizz the ramos we guys say ramos ramos what are we gonna say ramos ramos ramos i'm thinking of harold ramus
Starting point is 00:20:42 i've heard people say Ramos I listen to some podcasts And watch some YouTube videos About this But I'm going to say Ramos Because I like it better Ramos Fizz
Starting point is 00:20:51 Me too You've had? No I almost had Tim But you pulled it from our lips We were going to do this one first And you said Wait
Starting point is 00:20:59 We're doing Gin Fizz first So that we can build up To the big boy I wanted to tip toe in yes i have had this one time at uh musso and frank and um it's uh as it's a creamy drink and it paired poorly with a with a steak it was my it was much like i liked the drink on its own i remember but like remember when i had the the lamb kidneys in a grasshopper? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:27 I was going to say, somebody had a grasshopper with a weird thing. It was you. I'm always, you know, like, I'm too excited to try different cocktails there that I don't think about the pairing with my food. And then it's just fucking nasty. They really like those creamy guys, huh? I bet you could get like a brandy Alexander there and stuff. You certainly can, Jefferson.
Starting point is 00:21:44 But, so the Ramos Fizz, this is a drink. The big thing is that it's famous for how long you shake it. And there's a lot to talk about the shake. How do you shake? How do you shake? Now, is Ramos a famously shaky person? That's what's weird. I'll shut up.
Starting point is 00:22:00 He had such a steady hand. So it was ironic. It's like calling a big guy tiny. He had such a steady hand. So it was ironic. It was like calling a big guy tiny. He was terrible at making these. No, this is one of the very rare cocktails that the IBA put the history on the website. They don't normally do that, but for this one, they can.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Yeah, it's good for podcasting though, Kent. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Yeah, here it is. It's brief. The drink was invented by Henry Ramos in 1888 at his bar, Myers table, the hotel international in, uh,
Starting point is 00:22:30 new Orleans. The Ramos fizz was originally shaken for 12 minutes by a crew of 30 bartenders who passed the shaker from one to another. Uh, yes. Wow. That's funny about to another. Ah, yes. Wow. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:22:47 About that hotel, my other research shows that Henry Ramos actually, he invented it at that hotel, but then he opened his own bar called the Imperial Cabinet Saloon. Oh, good for him. That's where it got popular. And then the Fairmont Hotel
Starting point is 00:23:01 bought the rights to the drink and popped it around to other cities. And that's what really made it spread coast to coast. But my understanding of this drink, I was kind of like, why? When? Like, I know you don't have it with a big steak, but it seems like it's a daytime drink. It's an afternoon, old timey post lunch type of afternoon drink. When you're ready for something that's eggy and frothy, I guess.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Sounds like half your meal. Sounds like the back half of a meal. It does feel like it would be like the original M-Drive, meal replacement. Actually, no, M-Drive says you should eat a light breakfast with your M-Drive. Thank you very much. Are you still on M-Drive? Send me some more product.
Starting point is 00:23:42 I've finished my M-Drive and I would love for them to send me more, but it's a hell of a powder, I'll tell you that. And it looks good in the cup. Oh my god, please. Gorgeous. You know what, I do have
Starting point is 00:23:59 I don't have any of the normal protein left, but I do have M-Drive Brain and M drive green. You need those. Okay. So folks, uh, the thing with the drink is the shaking. Everyone taught no one, no one's really doing the full 12 original 12 minute shake. But, uh, you know, Ramos had like shaker boys, like a
Starting point is 00:24:26 line of boys and then he'd pass it down and shake. So these days at any classic cocktail bars that make it there's strong opinions about how long you shake it for and if you do the dry shake, do you not put the ice in? When do you put the egg in? Do you add the soda when it's shaking or what do you add the soda after?
Starting point is 00:24:42 So we're just going to stick to the IBA recipe here which is when it's shaking or when you've had the soda after so uh we're just gonna stick to the iba recipe here good which is 45 millimeters milliliters gin ounce and a half 15 milliliters fresh lemon juice joist de limon half an ounce uh 30 milliliters one ounce sugar syrup i'm guessing that's simple uh 60 milliliters yeah okay yeah i have something to say about this go ahead yeah why is there not uniformity why do they sometimes say they do it with the soda water too because soda water is club soda right yes and they've said club soda in other menus i believe yes go ahead it's just something that pisses me off uh 60 milliliters two ounces
Starting point is 00:25:27 cream cream i think that to be heavy whipping cream okay good probably 30 milliliters one ounce egg white now we're getting fancy here guys three dashes orange flower water. Yeah. This was a tough one. Keep going. I knew it. You're almost done. Two drops vanilla extract and soda water. Here's the method. Pour all ingredients except soda water into a cocktail shaker with ice.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Shake for two minutes. Double strain in a glass. Pour the drink back in the shaker and hard shake without ice for one minute. Strain into a highball glass, top up with soda. Wow. Okay. So wet shake before dry shake. Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Yes. I've never heard of such a thing. This is going to be... I don't understand what the purpose would be to strain it, pour it back in, shake it, because then you're just adding the topping up with the soda right at the end. I can't understand it. I'm going to do it,
Starting point is 00:26:38 but I don't understand what it's all about. I mean, you know what would be fun? Usually, we do this during the break, but it would be fun if we were doing two minutes of shaking on pod that would be a funny thing yeah it would be but we can't we gotta go in our kitchens and do it it's also like we gotta come up with
Starting point is 00:26:53 a name or a distinction for drinks that are just like a pain in the ass to make you know because there's so many drinks I'm like I don't know if I'd make it again I'd order it again but like I call it the IBA five. It ruins my kitchen to make a drink like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:10 I mean, and that's this is like the foremost of those drinks. This drink is famous as an eye roll when you order and a bartender goes, OK, OK, you must have been listening to this lobby boy. Even on our pod, we avoided it for three years. Yeah. But not today, folks. We're avoidant. oh yeah anxious avoidant that's our love language our yeah yeah right attachment style attachment style here's what i'll say what are you guys doing for this orange water i'll tell you mike the motherfucker. Oh, what am I doing for the orange flower water? I got the shit, yeah. What do you got? Where'd you get it?
Starting point is 00:27:49 I was looking around, I was like, orange bitters. I bet you Hanford got orange bitters in place of orange flower water. Well, that doesn't seem fair to me. I looked it up and I saw that it was not orange bitters. But I looked up an alternative
Starting point is 00:28:05 and I got an orange and it said, just like do a bunch of expressing of the thing. Really? Okay. But what about the flower part? What about rose water? They got that there. Oh yeah, it didn't.
Starting point is 00:28:18 The thing didn't mention anything about that. Okay, interesting. Well, look, it's only two plops you know exactly no it's three dashes three dashes i know it's tough it's gonna be have to be a lot of two plops are actually three dashes well i uh maybe i'll just put the whole peel in there and shake it with it i called up the two uh liquor stores near me that have kind of uh extended uh what am i trying to say but more more um sophisticated uh product and they didn't have this damn okay yeah so i said i said damn okay and i hung up all right you want to get into it yep yeah all right folks we're staring this dragon right in the mouth we're gonna do it today
Starting point is 00:29:06 we're gonna finally do it so we're gonna go make these drinks while you listen to the ads and we'll be right back after this And we're back with the Ramos Fizz. Let's see him. The Fizz is the biz. I know. Shaken. Not stirred. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:29:36 It's hard to say. It's a big frother. The two ounces of cream is a lot of cream, huh? It is. I was looking at other recipes. Don't call for that much. How big is your fraud look how big that is like two inches of froth it's quite like all froth yeah it's getting hard
Starting point is 00:29:50 too we should take our sips because i don't like this i know and also to spend so much time like shaking with karen then to let it sit is sort of yeah i'm gonna take okay here we go sips sips oh my god Oh my God. Oh. I don't know. I'm like fighting through a heavy meringue up top. Yeah, the meringue is tough, but. Yeah, mine, it's fully whipped into whipped cream, huh? Fully whipped, fully whipped.
Starting point is 00:30:19 I know, I can't really get through, but the liquid beneath is good. The liquid beneath. What lies beneath, that's nice. It could be an album title the liquid beneath i mean this is unlike anything we have had on the podcast it's whipped cream thick cool whip on top that's why there's so much shaking jeff's got uh well what's suggestively creamy lips that he's licking oh come on not suggestively um but it's just funny like it's a it's a thick lathery meringue and then the taste you're getting like lemon lime and little seltzer bubbles in there it certainly tastes like something from 1888 yes yeah that's true like like when as i was making it i was of, I never had these, but like an egg cream.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Isn't that like a malt? Like an egg cream is like a malt. What is an egg cream? I read that this was inspired by the egg cream because it's around that time. Okay. I like the taste of it. I like the taste of it. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:31:27 I really think that vanilla is the... doing the champions... pulling the champions load on this one. Pulling the champions load? I'm trying to get that going now. Oh, yeah. That's what you want to get going with all the things? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:31:41 That's the one. I'm trying to make fetch happen. Oh, don't make fetch happen. Did you see the new... I want to. No, I... This year, I'm trying to make Fetch happen. Oh, don't make Fetch happen. Did you see the new... I want to. No, this year I finally want to. How much do they talk about Fetch in the new high school? What's it called? They talk about the Mean Girls.
Starting point is 00:31:56 The new high school. I was going to say high school musical. They touch on it in the new Fletch movie. Stop trying to make Fletch happen. Yeah. The reason I said high school musical is because it happens in high school and it's a musical.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. Okay, you caught me. You caught me. Jeff, are you getting enough? Is your vanilla pulling the hero's load? Yeah, it's pulling it. I wish I was getting less citrus
Starting point is 00:32:22 and more vanilla. Me too. This is putting me in the mood for like a milkshakehake or a shamrock shake with jameson also this is a very close to my maria sonando sonando milk and oj yeah it's like oj milk uh condensed milk sugar and vanilla extract it's got an orange Orange Julius thing going on. I know. Okay, so now I am able to drink through the foam, and that's nice. It is funny to drink this foam, and you're like,
Starting point is 00:32:56 oh, this is going to be a sweet treat, and it just doesn't have flavor. Yeah. It's got lemon. Well, you're right, but it's not like a real pop of uh it tastes empty right there should be like a middle coming through in the foam or just the whole thing just the whole the whole thing like uh it's not a bad taste but like if you're gonna have this much fat and this much these this much calories oh wait a second it just feels It just feels weird. Guys. What? What? I forgot. I forgot my simple syrup. Oh, there you go.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Yeah, you need it. Drop a sugar cube in there. Wait, how much do you put in? Jeff, what were you going to say? I cut you off to make my standpoint. I was going to ask Tim if he'd rather shake this for three minutes or a can of Cardi B's whip shots. Definitely this.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Really? Oh, you tried the whip shot. That's right. I can't believe this B's Whip Shots. Definitely this. Really? Oh, you tried the Whip Shot. That's right. I can't believe this shit. I'll be back. He's gone. Yeah, you got to. You know, it's a drink with so many unique ingredients.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Of course, you're going to forget something like simple syrup. Got him. I'm not out here to get anyone. I'm not here to put the simple syrup, big simple syrup on blast, but somebody's going to. I always have a shock of terror when I see that many ingredients, because I know I got to cram them all into a little Photoshop tile for at the sloppy boys on Instagram. You know, you might have to, and I hope you never have to do this, but you might have to go on a panel to. Oh, no. For the fucking ingredients.
Starting point is 00:34:26 We had to do that. We had to do that for the fucking Tom and Jerry, which was similarly complicated. It was another one that had like egg and cream and you got to shake it up. You got to get some stiff peaks. I'll say I think maybe the I don't know if we're here yet, Jeff. This is your show. But I would one thing I would do without is maybe the, um, club soda. I feel like it adds no taste and is probably only diluting everything. Yeah. Um, I thought I didn't need it to get any foamier and then I put in the club soda
Starting point is 00:34:56 and it seemed to react and it like bubbled up. It's like, look at this. I'm I'm done. And this is, I have this much foam left yeah that's a lot of foam i'm drinking right through the foam and it's not budging like the foam just allows it by and it's like a it's like a hockey puck in the middle of my glass hey um guys i was a fool imagine this drink with no sweetness whatsoever uh it was yeah that's very empty and weird tasting then i added the simple and yeah now i understand why one would drink this but i was also thinking instead of sweetening up with simple syrup what if you had done like a like a quantro or or you know like a kick it up a little bit that takes care of your uh orange too yeah triple sec well yeah instead of simple use triple sec is
Starting point is 00:35:45 what i'm saying the orange spritzing i did the uh expressing i did like two or three or three or four peels so i really got some i am tasting the orange in here i tasted my orange yeah yeah the orange flower water see i had to fight it to get it out of that glass me too did you taste it straight it tasted more it tasted more like flower petals than orange yeah it's and it's just water that tasted like a flower and it's not coming through in this drink at all it sucks i actually took a sip of mine before i added the um club soda and it was pretty good on its own hmm yeah i feel like you're losing a lot of drink to just shaking and then discarding and then shaking again I feel like you got like a whole quarter of the drink just coating the inside of that shaker
Starting point is 00:36:31 you're not getting it it's inefficient it's a very inefficient drink yeah this is wild did I tell you guys when I was grabbing ingredients today grabbing the greed this was because this is one you do a shop shopping trip for this isn't like oh i happen to have orange flower water i happen to have heavy whipping cream oh yeah this is this is i'm taking the afternoon off boss i um i get into the albertsons you know it's one near tim and me and i hear this there's this fighting going on in like one of the aisles. No, no, just like, no, no, not like that. Just like a couple arguing. You bastard!
Starting point is 00:37:10 Oh, you bitch! You bastard! Mike, you're getting it. That's kind of how it was. And then I see this poor guy just taking all this heat. I was like, damn, too bad. Handsome fellow though. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Where you could tell... Hey, he's got something going on for him. You could tell he was really handsome in like the 90s, 2000s. handsome fellow though okay where you can tell uh hey he's got something going on for him you could tell he was really handsome in like the 90s 2000s that's all that's i know the look yeah jtt haircut but you know me i'm like none of my business i'm here for orange flower water i'm here for the beer going on about my way and then i then I'm looking through the orange flower waters and I hear, dot, dot. And he comes running up to me. He's like, I need your help, man.
Starting point is 00:37:51 My girl's so mad at me. Oh, fuck. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, you look so familiar to me. And he's like, yeah, I'm Enrique Iglesias. Holy shit. You might recognize me. Okay, he really cleared that up for you.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Oh, Jeff. Okay, this is not the first time you've met a celebrity of the Albertsons. Go ahead. Okay, he really cleared that up for you. Oh, Jeff. Okay, this is not the first time you've met a celebrity of the Albertsons. Go ahead. No, I know. It's Hollywood and I get it, but wow. And he comes to me. He's like, my girl's mad. What do I do?
Starting point is 00:38:18 And I was like, Enrique, I should be asking you this sort of stuff. And I'm like, I don't know. You got to get back in her good graces. You know, I'm making this drink for the pod. And he saw the laundry, he saw the shopping list I had. And he said, can I borrow this for a minute? I said, yeah, sure, if you think it'll help. And then I saw him around the corner
Starting point is 00:38:40 and he went to talk to his girl again. And I'm listening, right? I go, I want to hear, like, what's he went to talk to his girl again and i'm and i'm listening right i go i want to hear like what's what's he up to what's what's he he's gonna try and get back in his girlfriend's good graces with a bunch of ingredients on a list what the hell that's not i don't understand how that's like i know we're we're into you know cupid month but that's i've never heard it done that way no but so you know what i did and i pulled out's, I've never heard it done that way. No. But so, you know what I did? I pulled out my phone and I pressed record on my voice memos.
Starting point is 00:39:10 I want to hear this. Yeah. So this is what he said. Oh my God. I can't believe he said this. He said that? Oh. He sounds good. Beautiful voice. Don't let the gin out your side Ooh, heavy cream, that's so nice You mustn't forget the egg whites
Starting point is 00:39:52 Fizz Ramos Combination bubble over Fizz Ramos Dash of orange, flower water Fizz Ramos Gonna shake it up forever it's more white really well in where he how he makes them they come out yellow i don't know he probably probably put the yolk in yeah he's probably pissed them they come out yellow i don't know he probably probably
Starting point is 00:40:25 put the yolk in yeah he's probably pissed in the end hey guys in the end they all come out and hey and those two left happy as clams that's great wow he sounded great it almost sounded like he was double tracking on some of his uh yeah i think it was probably echoing off the captain crunch boy that's that's what it was you could hear it bouncing off the crap yeah that is that's amazing that's great that you got him uh too happy to help if you see me at the albertsons you i'll do what i can help you out of a jam so wait what was the argument about just the ingredients? Lover's quarrel, Mike.
Starting point is 00:41:07 That's all that is. Gotcha. It's just the way it is sometimes with lovers. Yeah. That's great. I like that he said, instead of Ramos Fizz, he said Fizz Ramos. Yeah. Because as I am- Fizz comma Ramos.
Starting point is 00:41:21 Right. I'm doing Duolingo. Spanish is something you know. I'm about 427 days in every year. Do they flip that stuff? Wait, 427 days is over a year? It's over a year. If you, yeah, if you're saying like a tomato salad, you say Ensalada de Tomato. That's probably what it is.
Starting point is 00:41:44 He's just kind of flipping it, you know, because he's a Spanish native, Spanish speaking guy. That's what it is. That's what it is. That's what happened. All right. What would you do to change up the drink and make it more to your liking? More vanilla, less soda. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Is this a strong drink? I mean, it's two ounces of gin. It's normal. Most cocktails start with two ounces and then there's no other alcohol in there. So I don't know. I feel like with this drink, I don't know what to change because there's so much stuff in it. I would add vanilla because I like that. And would you say, Tim, less soda? That would probably be the way to go too i would maybe do less lemon too i would do less lemon if i could do less lemon lime more oj i think this would be
Starting point is 00:42:37 what yeah why is it lemon and lime is a fucking fucking uh sprite uh yeah yeah yeah is it fucking uh sierra fucking motherfucking mist hey it's sprite sorry not starry yeah what is this fucking half of a 505 basically is this the uncola seven up yeah all right too many ingredients it needs this drink makes me act weird. It's the drink. It's the drink. You see? Yeah. Well, are we making another one?
Starting point is 00:43:08 It is a pain in the ass, but like, here we are. We got the stuff. I'm going to do such a tweak on this. You won't even know what hit you. Oh, wow. Okay. Coming up. I'll be honest.
Starting point is 00:43:19 I don't really want a second one, but I have all this bullshit. And if I don't have it now, I'm never going to have another one one i don't know how i would get through this bottle of cream that i bought so yes i'm gonna make a second one hey tis the season there you go hey now you know what i'm gonna do with this cream because i bought eggs too tomorrow when i make some scrambled eggs yeah i'll put a little cream in that fluff them right up oh michael fluff that shit right up let's address this because i make scrambled eggs on the regular. Scrambled. And I used to do.
Starting point is 00:43:49 No, Mike, it's scrambled. Milk. A little dollop. And then. No, no, hold on. Hold on, Jeff. No, hold on. I just want to say something.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Crystal clear. You said the word you meant to say and it was correct. And then Mike chimes in with scrambled. Scrambled. Here's what happens and we're using some brand new uh digital video system where we can see each other i think that this new system what's it called restream studio dot io dot io don't plug them anyway yeah don't plug restream but here's what i want to say it's it's one of these systems i've read about this before in uh popular mechanics tech tech
Starting point is 00:44:29 magazines that there are platforms like this that do turn um bees upside down oh yes so that's where that was so Mike, I owe you an apology. I owe you an apology. You're probably hearing it now. When I'm saying scrambled, you're hearing scrambled, right? That's probably, it's probably compression. Totally. It sounds like scrambled, but you're saying scrambled. Right, but it's coming out. I'm going to do it again.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Scrambled. Yeah, so that sucks. So that's maybe going to be the last time we use this. Well, I apologize and yeah, this whole thing was a big misunderstanding. This whole thing is fucked. I just want to say you're supposed to use water in scrambled eggs, not milk. Is that true? No.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Water? Yep. No, I think that's wrong. Wooder. That would be wrong to do. No. I'm saying a little sprinkle of water instead. And you're going to go to cream?
Starting point is 00:45:23 That sounds extra wrong to me. I do just egg. Egg, salt, pepper, a lot of butter in the pan. But you got to do a real soft scramble. Real soft. That soft scramble, that's a fun one. If you can get it just right. When I'm in a diner, I order soft scrambled.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Oh, Timmy. That's good for you, Tim. I'm going to put some cheese in this. That's good for me. I'm putting cheese in these eggs. And I heard what you said about the pepper and salt, but I'm going to put in a dash. And I mean just a half dash of garlic salt. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Michael. Mike knows what he likes. All right, Michael. Mike knows what he likes. All right, folks. We're going to go make these drinks round two. And we'll be right back here after this. Fizz Ramos! now we're back with round two of the ramos fizz um i did the same thing more vanilla extract and a full shot of quantro okay wow jeff quant Good thinking. That's cool. I cranked up the vanilla, cranked down the soda. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Better? Better, better. Yeah, this is better for me, too. It's more orange Julius. Yeah, that's what I was going for. I'm not achieving it. I did like squoze. I squeezed a half an orange and then added a lot more vanilla cream and gin.
Starting point is 00:47:06 That's all I did. And sugar. Damn. Simple sugar or simple syrup. Gin is in. And it's not very good. I got to – something's wrong here. I wanted an Orange Julius with just a hint of alcohol in it.
Starting point is 00:47:21 This one has no foam, though. I'm jealous of Jeff. I wish I had the orange juicing does this this i don't know a lemon lime milkshake it's weird orange milkshake is good i even think adding uh another 30 mil of liquid kind of changed up the chemistry i don't have that thick brick of foam up top it's a little bit more like worked in oh interesting you know and you said you did put the club soda in it. Yeah, I did it. I did it to specs, but
Starting point is 00:47:49 with just more vanilla and shot of Cointreau. Okay. Maybe that Cointreau is eating it away. It's acidic. That French Cointreau is getting into that Spanish fizz. Oh, I wish I knew a war where they were fighting in. War of the Roses.
Starting point is 00:48:12 No, that's got to be England, I would assume. In the old days. Well, we come to the time for final thoughts. Mike and Timothy, submit your feelings to the triumvirate. I say I'm going toumvirate. I say, I'm going to order it again. I don't feel like I had a good one of these. I need to order again just to get the,
Starting point is 00:48:33 this is a real, I need a professional to make this one for me. Yeah. I'm with you. This might be a first. Mike said, order again. Tim says,
Starting point is 00:48:43 not gonna order again. Tim says not going to order again. I'm intrigued by the froth. But lemon and lime in a creamy drink are simply not doing it for the tea man. And even with the sugar in there, I still think it's lacking a middle. And I don't know what that is. Something's got to punch right through the middle. Maybe the triple sec did it. So we the bass boom boom boom and we got the treble yeah where are those nice rich mids yeah where is somebody like me gonna fit into the street
Starting point is 00:49:17 can i tell you something instead of my place instead of gin dark rum that would stank it up that's good Tim that would give us that flavor Timmy you've done it Timmy you've done it again it's pretty good as I expected this is for me not an order
Starting point is 00:49:40 again so much as a no no no I'm sorry it is an order again but it is not a make again yeah yes definitely not but my kitchen is trashed man it's so gross yeah it sucks egg cream and like actual ingredients like vanilla extract come on damn jeff aside from the vanilla extract you sound like the scrambled eggs i'm gonna make tomorrow oh god oh it's it turned your b upside down again. It did again.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Fuck. I thought, yeah, I thought there was a setting. I was fucking with some settings. Damn. A setting. There's a setting that says bees right side up. Yeah, I want those up. But you got to untick that box.
