Well, howdy folks. It's Sheriff Jefferson here with Mr. Prospector Mike Hanford. Hello. And the fearsome gunslinger, Timmy the Cat. What is up? We put our differences aside to spread the word about the big event coming up. What the hell is a big event? It's an exciting prospect for us all. The Sloppy Boys are coming down south. Well, yeah, we're coming down south to Raleigh, North Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina.

Yeah, it's not as south as it could be, but it's pretty south. Yeah, and prospectors and things like Jeff was talking about was not necessarily where we're going, but... That's more of a California thing. I don't know if they have any gunslingers down there. And I'm doing more of a Louisiana thing. Don't pull focus, Mike. We're here to promote the Southern Double. This is such a bad idea

because these are the people that we're selling to and we're... They don't want to hear this. The rest of the country could hear this, but the people who would actually buy tickets to this are being made fun of but incorrectly. Wait, we're not making fun of anybody.

They're being incorrectly impersonated. No, but we're showing that, yes, we'll be in the South. We'll be playing, and if you have an accent or if you sound like this, you're welcome. You're home. Folks, we're coming to Raleigh, North Carolina and Charleston, South Carolina. I'm talking... This is exciting.

Yeah, January 23rd, the Poor House Music Hall in Raleigh. And then the very next day, January 24th at Music Farm. That's part of their big comedy festival, Charleston Comedy Week. These are rock shows with Dear Blanca. These aren't podcast shows. These are going to fucking rock your socks off. Ooh. These venues have music right in the title.

That's amazing. So it's different than our fall podcast tour of the West Coast, which is Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, L.A. in November. No, that's live pods. This, you're saying, is music? Yeah, it's a bit further out, so you've got a nice long runway to start saving up your gold nuggets. And get yourself a ticket. Check our socials, folks.

Those tickets are available at the venues or come to our link tree. The link in the bio. That's where we list everything. Well, we'll see you down there, folks. See you down there. Bye, folks. See you down there. Bye, folks. 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 Michael Hanford. Hello. And Tim Kalpakis. What he's up. And we are your hosts as a cool September chill falls across the pond. Just because we decided summer's over. It's official.

It's over. It's done. Brat summer is now brat fall. Jeff, you didn't do brat autumn. You didn't do... Yeah. Brat autumn. You didn't do any of the new slogans we got. Or any of the old ones.

It's the right choice for you. For you. For you. It's the podcast that ascends, expands, and conquers. It's the right choice for you. It's the right choice for you and your family. There was something else in there too I forget I'd have to go back and listen

Oh Best pod on planet earth or Third best or there was another one Sloppy boys you listen to it Deep dive Drinks you love I spent the first 10 minutes of this show Trying to remember better ways

Of starting the show Parsing out the old tag lines I spent the first 10 minutes of this show trying to remember better ways of starting the show. Parsing out the old taglines. Now, Tim, you're a mustache guy, I see. And I am too. Jeff, when are you going to grow the mustache? I think you'd look good in it. See, I think it's time now that we got those cooler months.

You guys got a nice, warm, temperate upper lip. And I'm sorry to have a below the nostril shiver. Yeah, your upper lip is blue, Jeff. You got some frostbite going on up there. When they say stiff upper lip, they don't mean not having a mustache and being cold, do they? Yes, they do. Mike, you got a nice trim on that mustache. Did you get in there with some scissors? No, I got a haircut. The guy did an okay job. And they did it for you. I said, hey, why don't we trim this a little bit?

And he took the buzzers, whatever, with the flat thing and just went, straightened it out. But it looks, it's a little 1940s looking for me right now. It's like 1930s. It's a little Walt Disney. You're a little bit Roger Waters. No, it looks like you're going to the World's Fair. It's Walt Disneys. It's a little Walt Disney. You're a little bit Roger Waters. No, it looks like you're going to the World's Fair. It's Walt Disney-ish to me. No, it's Roger Waters going to the World's Fair.

Are you excited to learn about the world? You're excited to learn about a Tesla coil? Not Roger Waters. Roger Waters is Pink Floydyd you're thinking of fuck i meant john waters john waters that's his name fuck i wouldn't i wouldn't mind playing bass like john waters though wait what were we talking about right before this oh oh the haircut thing my guy always comes at me on the eyebrows he's like hey you want me to do something about those eyebrows yes i would like to not mention them is what i'd like you to do without about them because i

get it i get a you know my eyebrows will turn into like dr wiley if i'm not careful i get a couple really um wiley wiley haircut yeah i get a couple hairs that go like oh maybe i go all the way up here it is really funny uh when you look at like uh jack nicholson and he does that like raises his eyebrows how they do really do go to like an insane point like back in the old days when you'd be like hey i'm jack and don't forget christian slater who does exactly the same thing sure he sure did i couldn't believe how much he was doing Jack. Like, I'd seen True Romance and liked it, but didn't put two and two together. But then, Mike, you and I watched Heathers. And I was like, I was like offended by how much of a Nicholson impression he's doing in that movie.

Yeah, I assume he got called out for it all the time in the 90s or whatever but i just wasn't paying attention but yeah it's like it's like uh it's like that band who does the led zeppelin thing now it's bread of vain fleet yeah it's like this guy sounds exactly like robert plant or wolf mother and aussie sure sure um christian slater was born in new york city I did not know that. I want to say Jack Nicholson, Jack Nicholson, Jack Nicholson's from New Jersey. Now I get it. That's why they both talk like that. They're from the tri-state area. Now we just need a Connecticut actor to talk like that. I need to find a, I need to find the birthplace of Christian Slater here in New York.

Pilgrimage. See, it's funny, Tim. I always thought of the tri-state area as New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts. I guess we sort of have our own thing up there. I think everyone has their own tri-state, where they're from. Well, now we have California, Nevada, Arizona. That's our tri-state area. But it's funny.

It's not like you would take tri-state being New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, let's say. You would then go, but my tri-state is Connecticut, Massachusetts. You wouldn't take three other states. It's like three just got put together. No, they're distinct. Yeah, yeah. Here's a weird thing. Do you guys consider Vermont?

I always thought Vermont was part of New England, but I don't know if it is. It is. I should know. Yeah, I'm going to say it is. It is. Along with Maine I should know. I'm going to say it is. It is. Along with Maine and Rhode Island. Yeah. New England to me is Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts,

Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Ah, Connecticut. That's right. Me too. And my Google search right now is confirming that. But I swear at some point somebody walked up to me and said, hey, Tim, Vermont's not New England. I'm out of here. Keep this under your head, kid.

Vermont's not part of New England. I'm going back to Jersey. Okay, so you're not Christian Slater. Wait, wait. Come back, you rascal. I feel like I had something to tell you too Something big, but I can't think of it

Well, you were trying to compliment my shirt before the podcast And then Jeff Jeff Flip that, Jeff was trying to compliment I said, save it, save it I kind of beat you to it, I sort of stole your thunder a little bit Oh yeah, Jeff said nice shirt And then Mike said save it.

It's bad pod fod. I don't know what I hear about a podcast. When I listen to a podcast, I don't hear about haircuts or T-shirts. Well, unfortunately, that's all we've been talking about this whole time. And you're the host. That's exactly what we did. That's all we've done. And statehood.

That's all we ever do. Oh, hold it around, Jeff. Tell us what to do. Jeez, goddammit, you're hosting this thing. Mike, I want to know, I'm mad because I still haven't seen your quote-unquote rizzed-up look. Oh, shit. Did I send you just a picture of it? No. You sent me nothing. I haven't sent you a picture of it. Because I never took a picture of it, but I took a picture of it on, I took a picture of it on... I sent it to Fran.

I was like, will this work? Oh, Fran gets the picture. Okay. Well, it was just... I'm looking for it now. It was just a picture of the clothes on a bench. I want to see them on the man. That doesn't exist yet.

But I'll show you the picture of it. Have a little shoot. I should go have a shot. I should pay some big money to have a shot. Why is this fucking not working? All right. Keep talking there, Jeff. I got something to say.

Say it to me. One time on the Sloppy Boys blowout, which you can subscribe to for $5 a month. Yeah, the better show patreon.com sloppy boys we were talking about okay michael that's cool yeah that's just a picture jeff you just we're just talking about a picture again you just told me all right look let's just agree now this is our worst episode that's kind of cool to be like, whoa, cool, the worst episode. This episode is low energy Jeb Bush. Well, yeah, I got to bring it up. Hey, hey.

Yeah, you got to be high energy George W. Bush. No, no, no, no. It's good. It's chill. It's chill. All the biggest pods are chill. Yeah, man. Some of the pods, they don't even talk.

Yeah, man. Vocal fry. We need to work on our fry. Yeah. I know. Wait, Tim, you're in the middle of a of a an electric thought yes i just this just occurred to me one time recently on the blowout we were talking about the mandela effect and one of the examples that we brought up that's

brought up a lot it's one of the main ones is that the children's book series is called the baron stain bears and everyone in the world seems to remember it as the baron steen bears but go look at the books and it's baron stain bears a i n and that's been well documented we and we talked about that then i was laying in bed recently and it hit me when i i gotta reach out to my dad and ask him ask him hey what do you think what's the name of that that book series because i was remember when when he read those books to me when i was a kid and I was falling asleep he put on this like country bear accent that I just thought it was like part of the the the genre of the book anyway like and so brother bear and sister bear what you know like those like parables whatever yeah but I realized I was thinking of him saying it and he did say the berenstein. And I'm like, was he doing that funny accent?

Or did my dad, was he reading it correctly saying Berenstain? And did that then inform the accent? Oh man. And that's what it carried through. The rabbit hole goes ever deeper. Yeah. Your dad's in on it?

My dad's in on it. And you know what? My dad killed Nelson Mandela. Oh no! No! in on it and you know what my dad killed nelson mandela oh no no there's like a grand unified theory of all of all these mandela things they're all related it comes all the way down yeah do you remember a very early and very bad birthday boy sketch we did at ucb where it's like protesters being like free nelsonela. And then the security guard is like, okay. And he sends out of the prison door, a guy, a weird guy.

And they're like, who's this? And he's like, Hey, it's me, Gelson Mandela. And they're like, no, that's not Nelson Mandela. And then they have to hang out with Gelson Mandela the rest of the day. Really good satire. A lot of my early sketch ideas are just like, I didn't hear you correctly. Wow! Do you remember

the one we did where we were like, there's two people on stage and there was an argument and we were like, you want to step outside? Yeah. Or like, I don't know. Somebody was going to get beat up and it happened backstage and we played one of those sound effects CDs of punches. It was like a Foley. It was for CDs of munches it was like a

Foley it was for like sound designers this was fully punches and like fight sound effects so like yeah let's step outside and you hear a little footsteps running up to the world because yeah and it went on for three minutes not one laugh it was the quietest the theater had ever been and we had to sit there and then we didn't do it again right like it's like all right now i gotta take you outside that's something i don't uh miss about don't don't miss that sketch comedy yeah it's the live sketch comedy when it's going well oh you're crushing it feels great but when you are when the first beat does not get a laugh and you know it's probably no fun to bomb in any form improv or stand-up or whatever but

in stand-up you can make little you can you can read the room and you can adjust your vibe or improv you go a whole different direction. Stan with sketch. You're like, well, we've just memorized this and the next four minutes are this. They don't like it. And there's four more minutes of exactly this coming. We're locked in.

Here we go. Amy Poehler made a good point about that. I think it's in her book where like when a sketch goes bad and you have to walk back to your car at like one in the morning with like a, like a arm full of wigs and props and big dumb shit. And we were the Kings of big dumb shit. Luckily we crushed most of the time, but there were those nights where like you walk back to your car,

you're like, Oh, this stupid fucking, I'm carrying a giant foam, Texas and a giant foam, California. Yeah. What do we do this for?

If the people could see what we have to do, they would have laughed harder. All right. You want to get into some booze news? Yes, please. Yes. Booze news.

Hit it. Booze. Stop. stop yeah Mike stop I will stop also Sprague Zarboostra was sent to us by Dan Padley

aka Paddles and if you have a booze news theme please email it to thesloppyboyspodcast at gmail.com. Nice. Now, Tim, you really stressed please there. Are we running out of Booze News themes? I've got to refill the hopper. I'm getting down to the dregs.

So the next few are going to be bad? Yep. Skip the next few episodes, folks. That was a good one. That was a good one. That's the 2001 theme. People often... You know, a lot of listeners, they're like, oh, I like the Sloppy Boys, but generally I

stop listening after the theme. Who's new's theme? And now I'm hearing the theme's not even going to be good anymore. Like, a lot of people watch until update, and then're like, all right, I'm going to bed. Yeah, but we're twisted. We start watching after the second musical guest and we want to see the 10 to 1. Yeah.

And then we have it on DVR so we can cruise through all the commercials. Stop. That's really not fair. That's like stealing a TV show. You're supposed to watch those ads. I i'm not i'm not i'm not proud of it but i spent so much money on this dvr devo setup hey i'm kind of excited for that saturday night movie i'm surprised yeah why not it's a movie i yeah i feel like tim you're like the encyclopedia you you've read every book about all that shit so you're like they're not telling you anything you don't know.

I thought the trailer looked cool. I thought the poster looked cool. Me too. Yeah, the poster's cool. The poster looks like our shirt. It looks like here for the beer. Floppy shoes and everything. Are we in there?

Are we in there? Probably. Paul Russ is in it. Yeah, Paul Russ. Ohuss oh man he's really funny are we are we we're on a quite a delay i think here no should i hardwire no okay hardwire tim i don't know if who's who's maybe tim's the grainy boy but um also he's grainy yeah but i thought that the trailer was good because it it's like the one trailer I've seen in the last three years that doesn't do the slowed down pop song. Like, yeah, right, right, right, right.

I don't know. I don't know what it would even be for SNL, but like send in the clowns or whatever. Yeah. Or. Hmm. Maybe, maybe. Oh, it'd be funny if it was the the King Tut song, but like slow down. It's like really dramatic. Yeah. King Tut. We go on at 1130. King Tut. Jane, you ignorant slut. King Tut. Star Wars. They're never going to let you get away with this stuff. I think that's going to be the fun thing about the movie is seeing like, oh, I mean, we've seen the the pictures of like who cast us, who's cast us, who we're like, hey, this guy's doing a really good blue sheet or this guy.

The Chevy Chase guy. Oh, I know. I mean, I don't know that dude. I don't know most of those dudes, but he did like a little fall and a little quip. And I said, that's very Chevy. Yeah. I didn't recognize the person I read. Obviously, Paul Rust and Cousin Greg there is Henson. Oh, right.

Oh, my God. I didn't I didn't put two and two together. He plays something. He plays like two. He plays Frogman Henson. And then somebody else. He plays Kermit and Henson. Oh, man.

There's a Henson doc we should watch. Where is that thing? Oh, on Disney, I think. Yeah, that makes sense. I think I just came upon. Oh, I just started rewatching the Beatles Get Back. Just kind of having it on the house. It's very fun.

And I can't wait till I get back to the part where it's like, uh, I want to go on the roof. You do Ringo. Was that Ringo? I want to go. Nobody wants to go on the roof. George doesn't want to go on the roof.

I want to go on the roof. It's like the director's pitch or something. Of course I don't want to go on the roof. I want to go on the roof. You do. That's the funniest. We got to go on the roof. You do? That's the funniest. We got to sniff that. Thanks, Ringo.

I know. That's like every group of friends. One guy's like, oh, the roof. I don't want to go on the roof. I want to go on the roof. You do? Like if there's an argument amongst friends and friends and there's like one guy who does who has the deciding vote and he's not even talking it's like oh you want to go yeah i do

want to go what the fuck you've been talking about all right tim you're hardwired in okay but hold on a second we're ready to rock i'm gonna switch from wi-fi to hardwire and that might fuck up the restreams right je, Jeff? Should we save stuff? Give it a shot, though. Let's just try it. Oh, let's make the jump. Brace for impact. Okay. Come on, make the leap. The leap of faith.

Okay, let's see if he comes back in better resolution. He froze. Yep. In low res. He froze or he's just reading his drop-down menu. Oh, I pray he comes back. This is like this feels like Interstellar or something.

I never saw Interstellar. Skip it. Oh boy. Well, here he is. Timmy, you look great. Great. Hey, he's back. And now is this all on pod? Are people getting a peek behind the curtain of some of us if meeland falls asleep editing then no i mean uh jeff and i did keep the

ball in the air a little bit let's just agree right now that we're gonna kick the energy up it's a start fresh we're gonna have we're gonna be we're gonna be george w bush not yeah not jeb bush okay great great cocaine brother well we're in the middle of fucking booze news and i haven't heard a thing about the world of booze okay here is the top booze news now we just finished the summer news within we stopped talking about the drink of the summer we buttoned that up nicely last week um as we transition into the next season here you might call it a rather political time of year mike you're you're a news junkie and yeah these days you kind of and this fall there's got there's some politics in the air right yeah blown around yeah um well there was some big u.s politics

booze news that happened recently. Um, did you, either of you guys hear about orange crush? Oh, I thought you were going to say the Tim Waltz spritz. Walls spritz. You have to say it like that. Walls spritz. Oh,

just, uh, go real quick. I was just thinking about, know we watched freddie got fingered this year this past year yes on the block uh just the part at the end when the dad is like proud and he's like proud uh the tim the tim waltz saying it like that made me think of that proud spritz it reminds me of waltz we almost called the birthday boys fastest artists well we didn't almost call it that

but we thought it'd be funny to try Jeff wanted to call it that and the rest of us said no fastest ghost artists I think I think ghost was

oh yeah that was the other one fastest ghost fastest ghost artists that's a bad idea that would have been bad alright Tim orange crush

you were talking about the orange crush okay top story booze news orange crush here's what happened have either of you ever heard or had a cocktail called orange crush I've had the i've had the original soda no

just the orange crush oh sure crush in the orange can well there's a cocktail that is fresh squeeze orange juice vodka and sprite and it was invented at the harborside Bar and Grill in Ocean City, Maryland. But Delaware, also, there's a lot. It's popular in Delaware as well. And Delaware, like, thinks that they, yeah, they didn't invent it, but they've perfected it. So much so to the point that Delaware named it their official state cocktail. And Maryland people was like, you can't have that be your official state cocktail because we invented it so there was a challenge and uh recently uh two u.s senators the like a democratic delegate from each uh uh state it had a had a showdown in dc and they uh they each made

their version they each made their version. This is like a big cocktail contest of US senators. That's fun. They each made the Orange Crush and the winner as judged by the other senators. Maryland, the originator of the drink

took the cake. That's how we should settle stuff. Say again, who voted on it? I think it was the jury of their Peters. Yeah, yeah, their Peters. Jury of their Peters. But I like that that's got sort of like a gunslinger high noon vibe.

Like, you send your best senator and make your best drink. We're going to settle this. And it's nice to have something fun happening on Capitol Hill when we're teetering on the brink of the end of democracy. We're just making sure we got which states have what drinks figured out. Way to go, gang. Way to go, gang.

State drink's a funny thing because it's not like state bird where we all have them. Like Wisconsin is like, hey, brandy old fashioned. And then Delaware is like, hey, the orange crush. And then there's like 48 states. They're like, what are you talking about? We're still working on our bird. Penguins can't fly, but can we still use one? There's no penguins here in Florida, but we like looking at them on Florida.

Now, what do you guys like better? The continental United States or the contiguous United States? Ooh, contiguous has a good situation out there, don't they? Contiguous is Alaska and Hawaii. No, contiguous is everything but Alaska and Hawaii. What? So continental is just adding Alaska but leaving Hawaii. Continental is everything.

I get you. I like the continuous. What is your favorite state? New York, baby. I've never been to Alaska. I want to get up to Alaska sometime. I don't know. I say that, but I don't really want to go up there. What do I got to do up there? We might have a show up there someday, Mike. Don't say that on a prom. In Alaska.

Yes, I'll be up there. I'll definitely go there if we have a show. We should play at the same place Pitbull stopped by where was that like big oh yeah why did he go up there he like what somebody want to contest the stores it was named like pitbull it's like pitbull visits your store it was like an inter-store contest for like big five sporting goods or like dick sporting goods or and like pitbull showed up to kodiak alaska thank you pit thanks pit mr worldwide thanks mr worldwide wait a minute thank you we were heading somewhere good state drinks yeah yeah yeah contiguous united states yeah yeah yeah continental united states travel oh i about politics i think we should do a blowout where we each have our very own october surprise

what's an october surprise now what do you mean is that is that is that a poll you've never heard that oh it's like during a campaign, like here's the new. It's like the last minute clincher. There's always an October surprise and every campaign is always like, oh, it's going to be some reveal that like tanks us. Now, let me ask you this. Was the infamous grab him by the pussy tape, was that something that someone had held on to and quietly held on to

and leaked it just right at the right moment that did come out let let last late in the game i think very last minute oh my god october 7th 2016 october surprise october surprise damn wow do you look at jeff just went on some website where his face is glowing yellow. You're on a yellow website. It was Vox, okay. Fox News. Ah, that makes sense. Vox, Vox, not Fox.

Vox News. Maybe he's watching Lemonade Party. When the week of the election, we should do a blowout. Then we put it out to a poll of slop heads and say, who should be president? Kamala Trump. Yeah. president should vote here on the and we'll mail it in to whoever needs to see it you can do it now tim that could be a live thing where at the end of the pod we reveal what yeah let's take the political let's take the temperature now it's it's we're early september we've got however many days

okay this is good to take the temperature of our listeners. Make it look official, though. Call it like Trump slash Vance Harris slash Walls. Isn't it funny when you go to, like if you're voting or something, or if you go to a museum and you see like, I'll say with the vote, when you go to the polls and you go to the voting booth in November you're going to see what Jeff just said and it's going to be like wow these are the people we've been

talking about and here they are right here on this little piece of paper and I get to pick and no one gets to see and no one gets to see and I'm not going to give back my ballot either I'm going to take it home this one is this one I get to count I'm going to fill this out according to my

liking. This is so funny. I just tweeted that. Who should be president? Trump fans? Harris walls. Who should be president? Let's leave it up there for a long time and we'll revisit it at the end of the show. Yes, I think we should.

And we'll use that as our, that'll be our starting point data. I like this that we're rebranding as sort of a Pod Save America thing. This is good. Mm-hmm. We are Slop Saves America. Oh, you know, we've been talking about the documentary, the Sloppy Boys Blood, Sweat, and Beers documentary. Sure.

Right. A listener and collaborator and friend, Fran, brought to my attention. She said, we started calling it a sloppy menory. And I said, of course, that's so obvious. It's right there in front of us. A sloppy menory, the slop rock dock. It's a slop rock dock. Slop rock, kind of a fastest ghost artist situation.

You got your way after all these years, Jeff. Fastest artists. Fastest artists. Fastest artists. Alright, is that it for Booze News? Wrap it up! Now, what about the move tomorrow? Do you want to... Whatever, I'll do it if we've got to go on the roof. You're the bad one.

I don't want to go on the roof. I've got to go on the roof. I would like to go on the roof. You would like to go on the roof. You would like to? Well, all right. Today we're going to talk about the drink of the day. Today we're going to bring it up. But I'm going to start with a poem.

Okay. This is a poem called U.S. Open Tennis. Ready? Yeah. Jimmy Connors, McEnroe, Billy Jean, and Steffi Graf. To understand a tennis score, one needs a PhD in math. Federer, Serena, Djokovic, Agassi, and Osaka, too. It's the U.S. Open game, baby, give me a drink.

Topped with honeydew. Now that is a poem from tennis poet laureate hopeful Mike Hanford. Wow. I didn't know he was officially hopeful. It's a hope of mine to one day be the poet laureate of the professional tennis circuit. How fervent is this hope? Well, I wouldn't say it's my most fervent wish, but. We would have heard about it if it was.

Yeah. But you do have poetic aspirations. That's nice. I do. I do. You know, and all this, this was easy, too. I just need to look up a bunch of names of people and come up at the end with the word honeydew. That's easy.

That's an easy one. Anyway, today we were talking about the honey deuce cocktail. You've heard? No. Yes, I heard. I heard so much because the U.S. Open is happening now and this is all over the place. It's huge. It is the big drink at the u.s open

tennis tournament in new york city in queens new york uh it basically i mean this is a really early drink i'm just gonna read the uh history right off a difference here history adapted from a recipe created in 2016 by nick mautone a highly experienced bartender working then working with the gray goose as a gray Goose branded bastard which had just become a vodka sponsor at the US Open Tennis Tour. One evening, Nick is sitting around and he says to himself,

hey, I got to come up with an official cocktail and damn it, don't these melon balls, these honeydew melon balls I'm eating look a lot like tiny tennis balls. Let me just read it. Tall fruity cocktail soon follow.

That's all there is to it. This is not an exciting story. It's just the guy was the vodka person for Grey Goose, the ambassador. And he said, I got to make a drink for my job. Here we go. It's a very simple drink. And I'm going to read the recipe right now ingredients one and a fourth ounce gray goose vodka do you guys have gray goose

no no seagrams baby titos i'm using uh what's what's the kettle one i'm using kettle one three ounces fresh lemonade half ounce premium raspberry liqueur i'm looking at a chambord in this oh it was so nice buying a fresh bottle of chambord today i still have one i had one left over from uh cure royale season i'm using creme de cassis uh and then three and three honeydew melon balls how to make fill a chilled highball glass with cubed ice and add Grey Goose vodka. Top with fresh lemonade and raspberry liqueur. Garnish with a skewer of one or multiple frozen honeydew melon balls. So wait a minute.

We shaking or no? No shaking. Just building the glass. Yeah. I would give it a little stir maybe. Yeah. I can see that because the whole thing is this is like a big concession drink at a tennis stadium. So I don't think bartenders are shaking this.

I think it's beep, beep, beep. It reminds me of the Taylor Swift Empress Vodka. Yes. Or Empress Gin drink. Yes. Lavender Hayes Lemonade. Kind of a drink. Like, I'm assuming this is going to be good.

But a drink that's like, hey, that's a really classy drink. And it's just like, bloop, bloop, bloop. Here we go. Send it out. Yeah, it's a classy drink that is batched for a stadium. Yeah. But it's funny because this isn't like brand new this year. This has been going on for a while.

I don't know why it just got picked up now. I think that because there was a headline. You know when a story it's like reuters or or associated press decides to put it on the wire and then everybody jumps on i think that gray goose buying in was the thing no i think it's something about how much money it made because everything i saw it was like this year it like it makes this drink is 23 dollars so it makes 10 million dollars for them and that pays for the whole US Open. There's something about that where I was like, did you know that this drink pays for the entire US Open because they make $10 million?

It sounds like it's been their business model. That was the other thing. It's a $22 drink. That was the other thing I meant to bring up. Or $23. What did you just say, Tim? Yeah, $23. Yeah, $23. Would you just say Tim? Yeah. 23,

23 and me.com. I don't know. I think that the reason that this, I saw like tons of stuff about this drink. I didn't see a lot of people saying like, it's so good. You have to try it. I saw first that it was popular at the U S open.

And then I just heard about how much money it makes. But there's another there was the Masters golf tournament in the spring, which is in Augusta. They've got a drink called the Azalea.

Iggy Azalea? The Iggy Azalea. So I think this is sort of a thing that people have their eyes out. Post-Eras Tour Lavender lavender lemonade, a lot of people are looking for, what's the official drink of the thing? The event signature drink. That is a good idea. Yeah, that is a good idea.

We do that at our own shows. We do Kelpie Cordials at times. We've done hand slams. The other big thing about this story, have you seen the meme of the guy at the uh u.s open coming back to his seats with two glasses and right as he hands a woman one of the glasses a guy from behind her sloops in his run and he's like oh so i think people saw that and were like oh what are those drinks and it became popular that way too fun funny let me try it during the break i'll try to find that uh

crap um hey let's not forget everybody's all horny from challengers so everybody's got tennis on the brain i never saw that did you mike you're like the tennis guy you got the tennis hat you gotta see challenges i'm the tennis guy i haven't played tennis in like probably like nine months okay so i'm not the tennis guy anymore mike you could have had a baby in the time uh i know i could have taught that baby to serve serve some tennis balls you gotta serve baby um i'll tell you this what's clever about that dude who invented this he said oh i'm gonna make a drink that has uh little green balls on it like tennis balls and then there was a pun right there for him honey deuce with the honeydew yes melon i think

that that was serendipitous it's just weird that he didn't put midori in the drink and make the drink green yes but the green doesn't pop on green tim you need to have a contrast i i think he's smart i think he's a good man a good man he is true of art the honeydew has nothing to do with the taste at all The honeydew has no taste? Well no Sorry I'm trying to find this damn video Which I did find We lost your mic

Say that again No you're back I've got too many god damn things going here Too many tabs open This is one of these classic cases Of you getting mad at your notes He You're just mad at his tabs. It's not my notes, it's my tabs. Now how do I send a fucking message to you?

I'm mad at my tabs. Hey Mike, no need to send a message. Just say it. Just say it to us. Here we are. No, I was trying to send you the daily mail video. I thought you were going to cuss us out. No, no, no. I'll say that for off the air. Should we do it? Well, yeah. I'm excited. excited it sounds good it sounds good for this time of year have you already scooped your balls i don't have

a melon baller i wish that's such a classic thing i got honey cubes jesus christ all right well i got you i got a story do you do you have a melon baller i'm not buying a melon baller just to make it was three dollars at alberts $3 at Albertson's. Albertson's had one. I looked and I couldn't find it. The honeydew has nothing to do with this drink other than it makes it look like tennis balls. That's why this feels like the honeydew. Like what Tim was just saying about the honeydews, it all just kind of came together.

Yeah, all right. Well, we're going to talk about the taste when we come back, are we not? I know. I can't believe Albertson's had a melon baller. I was there today, and I was in the kitchen section looking at ice cream scoops and cookie scoops and all little roundies. Maybe I do have a melon baller. Could I have gotten the last one? Yeah, maybe you got the last one.

I don't think so. I think there was a heaping pile of melon ballers. Everything must go. Did you get some peanuts? I told you there was planners peanuts i saw i'll leave you guys i'm gonna start making this drink let's all go that's a reference i don't yes mario tennis mario tennis geek shit hey you played i've seen you Yes. Mario Tennis. Mario Tennis. Geek shit.

Hey, you were a regular. I'm going to tell you played. I've seen you play, and I've seen a big smile come upon your face. Mario Tennis? Yes. For the 64. All right. I didn't have a thing, so I just put it on a chopstick. Okay, I just watched the video, and it's funny.

The video's funny. Huh? Look at these little balls. Oh, my God, Jeff. Those melon balls. Yeah. Now, those look like tennis balls, Jeff. Did you ever think of that?

Some of them are a little, you know, they're a little fugly, but I try to get, you know, the nice side out for the pink. No, they look good. Very good. You're about ready to host a 70s dinner party. Betty Crump is not with that. Hell yeah. Look at me. I was too lazy to ball them up. I just got

cubes, but my glass, I said, Tim, it says highball glass, but I swore I've been seeing it online. It looks more like a pint glass. And then I looked in my cabin. I saw the perfect thing. I bet this is exactly what they use. I have a promo glass from the Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs. When I went there and I got a mint julep and I was like,

I bet this is the same fucking company that makes the US Open cups. I have a bunch of cups from like fish concerts from MSG. Not a couple, one. But I should have used it. Yeah, that's good. Also, my yield wasn't that great off the recipe. I would have loved to double it and put it in a pint glass.

Yeah, that's like I do a little juice cup like this. Round two. That looks good. Okay, sips. I'm eating my melons here. Delicious garnish. I'm going in for sips. Yep. Oh, yeah. Tennis anyone?

Tennis everyone. The melon is getting in there a little bit, huh? You get a little bit of melon? I'm swayed by the smell in a good way. It's very tennis. Like, it tastes like something like a, it's very country club, but it's good. Welcome back, Shamboard, to my pantry. And it's not too much

to Shamboard to make this taste like Robitussin. It's just a little hint. I think I could use more Shamboard. I think I did a little too much. I did two,

it was an ounce and a fourth ounce of vodka. I just went two ounces. I boom. Wow, Michael. So I went a little, a little heavier.

You know what? I was expecting this was going to be a vodka bramble. And what we've got here is weaker, lighter, you know? But it's made for, it's brambly. Yeah, because it's lemon. It's chambord in your liquor and a little syrup because of the lemonade. But it's lighter, sweeter.

You could see some old folks sipping these all day. I could see, damn, I could see Roger Federer sipping one of these at home watching. Yeah. I mean, what about Pete Sampras? Can we open up to Greek players or is that not even allowed? That's allowed. I don't know. That's, I think the, I don't know.

What's like the, what's the tennis? ATP? Association of Tennis. I don't know. Alcohol, tobacco, and... No, it's like the tennis guiding, governing body. Anyway. They say Greeks can play tennis.

Wonderful. Mike, as the podcast resident jock and the tennis player, I don't think we've ever gotten into it on pod. Have you ever talked about, tell us about the tennis aces. I don't know that everyone listening would know that there was, for a time,

there was a regular tennis match of some of the comedy greats of Los Angeles. Every Saturday, usually Saturday, sometimes Sunday, but usually Saturday, me and Mookie would play Dave Ferguson and Joe Saunders. Every week, same teams. And for a while, we kept the score. And was that a fair pairing?

Yeah. It was really good games. They would beat us like crazy sometimes, and we'd come back and beat them like crazy. It was so fun, and we were all at the same skill level, Tim. That's what people don't get when you go out and play tennis. It feels like tennis is kind of that you kind of have to be, or it's no fun at all.

There's something in tennis called your tennis number, and if you look online at tennis number, it's like, number one, never played the sport before. Number two, can hit the ball, but serving is not an option yet. And then, like, the very last one is like number nine it's like you get paid to play tennis you have won the u.s open i think i'm a level four i think i'm a level 4.5 i can serve with some confidence and know where the ball is going to go but i the speed it lacks speed it's the the big one. And tennis, I've never played since maybe college just a little bit,

but you do a lot of running. I remember it being just very aerobic. Yeah, a lot of back and forth, which is good. It's a fun game to learn. If you guys were to learn now or learn golf now or something, it's fun because you can like be getting better at it. You know, like if I played tennis my whole life and I was where I am now,

I'd be like, well, I'm not going to get any better. And this is kind of just the end of it. Yeah. I remember my grandfather used to like golf because he was like, you can play it into your later years. Yeah.

That's what everyone says about golf. It's like, you can, you can, you's what everyone says about golf. It's like you can be doing business with golf. It's a man's game that everyone needs to know. A gentleman's sport. Well, let me ask you about melons.

Sure. What's your favorite? Water. Yeah, by far. Yeah, maybe cantaloupe for me. Over watermelon? I'm thinking of the best of each, and I'm thinking... It's tough because I so rarely have good...

Like, these honeydew bits I had were really good. Yeah. And it's like I rarely have good honeydew melon. Did you buy a melon and chop it, or did you buy like a cube? No, I just bought the cubes. Oh, that was the other thing. They didn't have just full honeydew melons at my grocery store timothy it's funny that i feel like people really hate cantaloupe and honeydew like when it's in a fruit

salad they're like oh i wish i had more strawberries it like yeah it just takes up space and i don't i don't mind yeah, I would rather more of the goodies. But I think what's my favorite melon is watermelon, but I'm rarely just eating it plain. When I think of watermelon, I'm like, ooh, is it going to have like chamoy and tahini and lime? Or is it going to be like a watermelon salad with like feta or something like that? Ooh, Timothy, that's nice. That I don't like. The feta, the cheese and. That I don't like. The feta, the cheese

and the watermelon I don't like. You really got it out for the Greeks this episode, huh? Well, you said that the association does allow Greek tennis players, but this is what the line is. I didn't say anything about it. You're trying to get them to change their stance. Yeah.

And just one specific Greek guy I don't want involved uh when i was a kid my buddy andy and i and this was like fifth grade fourth grade we called a woman's breasts melons that was our thing you know people do that yeah people do that that was so that was a popular kind of a way to talk about it in public and be like hey we don't know what we're saying they do and uh oh man i my mom one day found a mad libs book that we had filled out and my mom said something to me about like hey uh you and andy really love melons and boobs, huh?

And I remember my Catholic guilt. I like shorted out and was like, Oh, it, Oh. And she was like, don't, don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it. Oh, that's good. She said that because these, those are kind of like moments of like turning points in people's lives. If you were too embarrassed at that moment, you'd be fucked up for life. Yeah. I did a good job but um yeah i remember just being mortified and like turning white because it was like i'm sure i like we'd written like dicks in there too

but you know this is just young men trying to try to grasp hold of this new world exploring that's all that is using the words. Using the words, trying them out. I remember one time in like fourth grade, there was a, I was involved in a little bit of a Mad Lib session and we were having some fun. And this one guy, there was one thing that was like, you know, name

something slimy. And this kid goes, Phil Collins. And his buddies laughed. I was like, oh yeah. I was like, I don't get this. I don't know who that is. Ooh, Phil Collins. his buddies laughed. I was like, oh yeah. I was like, I don't get this. I don't know who that is. Ooh, Phil Collins. God, I probably did so much of that fake laughing and things I didn't understand. Jesus Christ. Like any lawyer joke in a movie when little kids hear that and they're like, ha ha ha.

It's like, they just know that adults laugh when there's a lawyer joke. They don't understand. Yeah. They don't get how funny we think lawyers are. Shoot the lawyer twice. Drown the lawyer. Is that Jurassic Park?

Oh, yeah, there is a lawyer joke in Jurassic Park. Is the joke just that he gets eaten easily on the toilet? He gets eaten, but also Hammond brings the experts to the island to get them to sign off and all the dinosaur experts are like you can't do this and this is weird and the only um and he says the only guy on my side is the blood-sucking lawyer

yeah right right right damn shoot him well what else we got i like this drink i think this drink i think this drink could use a little uh more sham board on my end more lemon for me make it a bramble more lemon more tart more bite it's good though it's it's refreshing. It makes me wish I was over there in Queens watching bing. Yeah. Tim! That's good sound effects. Bing bong, bing, bing, bing.

And then also a little wook, wook, wook. That's the racket passing through the air. Oh. That's the ball. And this racket passing through the air. Oh, that's the ball. And this is one of the,

the coach of one of the players on a bad play. Oh, damn. Oh, um, Mike, I watched the video you sent of the guy returning with two honey deuces. He goes to hand one to a woman and then somebody from behind them hands. And he's like,

Oh, very well blocked out, funny comedy video. Very funny. And it seemed like it was the guy's wife or something. And it's nice to see something kind of like actually real captured because usually that genre is the fakest. You know, there's so many like kiss cam videos where it's like people are like acting. They came up with a bit they're going to do and it's fake. They're trying to make a viral video.

Hey, you know what's really good blocking? But this was just serendipity. Our Chicago show, somebody in the crowd was videoing us and I'm rapping Gardens of Gomorrah. And as I wipe past the camera, it kind of reveals the two of you guys doing your robot walkout onto the stage. Oh, nice. past the camera, it kind of reveals the two of you guys doing your robot walkout onto the stage. That was in Chicago? The rock show. In Chicago. In I.O.

I.O. Fest. Get into it. Get festive. People on the internet may have seen this, but on pod we haven't talked about that the I.O. Theater in Chicago put up some new, uh, signage in front of their building.

Oh, is there a picture of Jason Sudeikis? Well, sure. Is there a picture of Jim Meadows? Why not? Is there a picture of the sloppy boys up there? Hell yeah.

Tim's back and Mike's face up there for all to see. Top left. Top left. Hey, if you're reading, uh, English style, you're reading English style. You can't miss it.

You can't miss it. Right before you go down that second line. No, top right. Top left. I get you. Are we making another round? I know I am. Yeah.

I am too. I'm going to see what I've gotten there. I'm going to pull something crazy out here. Yeah. I think I'm going to do do exactly as is but another dash of lemon juice you know lemonade but also some lemon juice i agree that if you were making a real cocktail out of this it should have a little more sour to it um you know what would be nice is i don't know if i have anything i thought you would speaking of the the orange crush and its sprite,

topping this with some bubbles might be kind of nice. Let me see if I got it. Yes. That's not for me, but Tim, I like that type of thing. I'm a boy. I don't know what I'm going to do. Oh, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to shake it.

Like a Polaroid picture? Hey, there we go. You two. You two know that Polaroid put out a statement saying that is not actually the best way to do what. Oh, it's too late. Oh, the song's a runaway hit. Oh. All right, folks, we're going to go make round two. And when we come back, final thoughts.

Hell yeah. we're back with round two of the honey deuce i'm excited to try it honey deuce oh mike yours was looking quite dark. Michael. I made, I did, well, here's what I did. I did more Chambord. Okay. I did probably two ounces of Chambord. A lot more.

A lot more. Then I did two ounces of rum. Okay. Hard pivot. Hard pivot. Rum. Hard pivot away from the drink of the day. Okay.

But then the lemonade too. That sounds good. Is it a win? Ooh, that is a win, win, win, win,

win, win. Is it a love? Yeah, that's right. Right. This is game, set and match for me.

I like it. Tim, your tweaks, announce them. You know what? Now, when I was making it, I said, I'm not tweaking shit. I like it. Tim, your tweaks? Announce them. You know what? Now. When I was making it, I said, I'm not tweaking shit. I like the drink.

I'm going to have a second one, as is official recipe. But something also occurred to me while I was making it. And a lot of thoughts can occur to you when you're making drinks, folks. Tim, take it away. That's why I do it. It's so thought-provoking. None of us used the official sponsor of this drink, Grey Goose. But no, isn't there this weird thing where Grey Goose?

I've heard people allege like real bartenders don't like Grey Goose. They're like, no, it's like watered down and it shouldn't be top shelf. It's just okay. But there have been articles recently. Stop it. stop it there have been articles recently alleging that gray goose vodka is kirkland signature vodka i have heard this you hear that stuff all the time about certain things but i haven't heard that one that's that's i wouldn't be surprised it'd be a good taste test because you know what happens is that they make they they like kirkland's signature ain't making shit right

these are all just like uh deals they have with companies um my brother works for bread alone a very good like bakery in the northeast and they make the local they're like they make this trader joe's bread for the northeast you know so it's contracts like that so it's possible that nationwide this kirkland signature is just buying gray goose and or or whatever it is and then and then just because it has the label gray goose they charge more and kirkland charges less wow i'm sure they do um have you seen that video of a woman drinking like a blind tasting through five different straws diet coke from five different restaurants yes and she nails it she's like that's the that's the can that's the bottle that's the

chick-fil-a that's the wendy's that's the mcdonald's or whatever it is oh well it does get it it's crazy to watch her in real time i've seen a few of these a lot of people can nail it it's crazy i remember being able to guess you'll remember, I hope I hope you will remember When I did Bud, Bud Light, and Bud Select I remember that, yeah Oh yes A discerning palate on old duds

I don't even know if I can do Beer or wine That one's the beer That's the beer maybe I don't know, my tongue is so dead This one is dry, tannic It's the beer that's the beer maybe i don't know my tongue is so dead this one is dry tannic it's the beer um guys i googled gray goose kirkland signature uh kirkland signature by the way is costco brand if people didn't know that um i don't know if they have costco in the east coast they have sam's they do we also have costco or we did in nashville new hampshire i grew up with bjs too bjs yeah okay i googled gray goose kirkland signature and the first

uh link that comes up is from graygoose.com faq this viral this and the and it says is kirkland signature that's so funny it would be on the Grey Goose website. Is Kirkland Vodka Grey Goose Vodka? This viral claim is completely false. Grey Goose Vodka does not produce nor privately label Kirkland Vodka. It's funny them saying that because it's now admitting like, it's just that they taste very similar. It's not any better. Yeah, right.

Yeah, that's awesome. They should have not commented and been above it. Here's my any better. Yeah, right. They should have been like, yeah, that's us. They should have not commented and been above it. Here's my little tweak. You know I added lemon juice. Only half an ounce. But I did want to tart it up. As with the lemonade, like along with the lemonade. Yes.

So listeners at home, you're probably thinking, oh, interesting. Jeff does lemonade and lemon juice. It's kind of like how when he goes to In-N-Out, he orders animal style, but also with raw onion. Isn't that an interesting thing? That's so interesting. It's one of those things about life. Oh, delectable. I wish I put more lemon juice. You wish that? I do. Because here's the thing, Tim. I'm going to use the word, the F word.

Flabby. This drink is flabby. I hear you. Lemonade? It should be sour mix instead of lemonade. Yes. What are we doing? What are we doing? We're so close to a bramble, folks. I'm going to transition into my final thoughts and you guys sort of take it too. Okay.

This is an order again. It's especially an order again. It's especially an appointment only. Yeah. False. But if you got the ingredients, folks, you're so close to a bramble, just go make a bramble,

go on a bramble ramble. Yes. That's all you got to do. Go on a bramble ramble to a tennis watching party. To a professional tennis got to do. Go on a bramble ramble to a tennis watching party. To a professional tennis or to a professional match. Yes. Just do that. What are you doing?

Your thoughts? You got to do that. Minds order again. I like this a lot. I'm liking this new version better. We should maybe put a name on this ourselves. Brand it. Make it our own.

Put some respect on his name. Put some respect on his name. Put some respect on his name. I agree with you, Jeff. Appointment only. It's a fun thing to make in regards to a tournament that's happening now. And if I went to one of the matches,

I would definitely drink one of these to its completion. From the top all the way down. Ice included. Tim? Well, as for me, yeah, this is great. It's in order again. It feels very appropriate.

It feels like I'm watching tennis. It's light. It's refreshing. And I like this trend. I think in the spring we should do the azalea when the Masters golf tournament is happening. I like everything in the lavender ha Haze Lemonade was fun, too. I think the Sloppy Boys podcast is going on a live podcast tour in November. They're playing Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and L.A.

I want to make sure we get Calpe Cordials going on and Hand Slammers and Yule Mules out there. Bring people together. Live events should have signature cocktails that go along with them. It's great. Going back to the Grey Goose, as I was reading the recipe here, you may remember the honey deuce here.

Where am I here? Okay. Fill a chilled highball glass with cubed ice and add Grey Goose vodka. That's step one. Top with fresh lemonade and raspberry liqueur. That doesn't need to be two steps. I think Grey Goose just wants to have that one Grey Goose step. Yeah, you're right.

That sucks. That's like, just put it all in a fucking... This doesn't need any steps. Just put it all in a fucking drink. On our thing, we're going to say combine all ingredients like a normal person. And not give Grey Goose that little... Also, on the on the differed recipe they say kettle one the foods yeah different says kettle one straight up but that's maybe

maybe the classic before uh yeah but then they gave the history and said it was invented by a gray goose guy and i know it's currently sponsored by gray goose at the u.s open so there's a little shade this is they say lemon juice yeah they say lemon juice and honey syrup so they don't they that must be instead of uh interesting i don't love honey syrup i'm glad we glad we didn't do that and and soda water okay wait we talked about more bubbles more tart i might that's the difference on to something dude difference on to some and then finally i will say this drink it's a weird distinction to make i think this is when you make the balls this is maybe the cutest drink we've had on the pod you know what the balls reminds me of it's like when i was trying to come up with a

a holiday uh halloween yeah cocktail last year i was like let's do a frankenstein something i was looking at. It's all like the arts and crafts. Yes. That's what this craft, the craft blogs. Like I saw like a very funny looking baby Yoda martini type thing that was like,

yeah, you put lime wedges on the edges of a martini glass and you get two little black eyes. It's like, ah, you made a little baby Yoda. It has nothing to do with the taste of the drink. And this is simpler,

but just like, it's, it's, they look exactly like the same color green tennis balls. It's a joy to look at. It's great. Very good. It's very good.

of social media and all that type of stuff, Tim, what do our fans say should be the next president? I forgot about it. I completely forgot about stuff. Tim, what's what do our fans say? Oh my God. I've completely forgotten. Wait, we should guess. I'm going to say that there are a lot of jokers and maybe some sincere Trump advances. I'm I don't I'm would wonder if there's any

Trump Trump Trump Vance people Trump listen to our show. All are welcome, of course, but I would be surprised. I bet that the Trump-Vance votes are ironic, but, uh, okay, we left this up for a long time. This has 491 votes.

Right, yeah. It's also on X.com, so you never know who sees it and who votes. Yeah. You know, people are saying, Tim Walls is basically my boy at this point um you got people saying purple pea slash hand bopper that's what they would vote for oh that's good well that's that'd be a waste of a write-in well they don't know our policies but

okay yeah very similar to trump we're working on project 26 um okay. Who should be president? Pizza the National. This is big. The winner with 89% of the vote is Harris Wall. 89, okay. Okay, so what's 11% of 491

is like 10 people? No, no. 50 people. No. Yeah, 50 people. No. Yeah, 50 people. Yeah. Alright, we got a few Trump fans folks out there. We should keep in mind and start tailoring this show to remember

that our show is 11%. Our listenership is 11% conservative. So maybe every once in a while we just drop in a little thing about how prices are getting out of hand. You can't say anything. Nobody wants to work anymore around ease. Yeah, we'll be like, we'll be like, not like Mark Wahlberg, but like how Bradley Cooper every 10 years or so will do a movie with the military.

Just to, yeah, just to keep that demo up in the air for him. Just to let them know And then he'll play the raccoon And then back in the raccoon suit, I guess Bye folks Bye Goodbye Goodbye

Give it up for your boys Give it up for your boys Give it up for your boys Give it up for your boys Give it up for your boys
