Win the home of Pippin the home of Kerr and it's a good omen for the rest of the year I think the thing is what you're trying to say here, Jeff, is after this, the biggest year of Sloppy Boys history, the pod blew up, the movie came out, the whole thing, we were choosing to end the year in a town that we have come to truly love and truly think of as a second home. New Year's Eve, we're playing at Reggie's Rock Club and we're gonna play all night long. This is like a, it's not just like a Sloppy Boys show. This is a special, wonderful, beautiful,

whole night of entertainment. You're ringing the New Year with the Sloppy Boys. Sure, the vibe is totally curated. This is a celebration. This is a full celebration of you guys, the audience, us, the band, the new year. We're celebrating all three. Think of all the years the ball has dropped and you've looked around and you haven't seen a single Sloppy Boy.

It's been probably most of them. This year, you look around, all three Sloppy boys are smiling at you when the ball drops. Mm-hmm. Man. Folks we're playing three sets we're starting at 930 and we're going till past midnight the ball will drop we will have the champagne popping we will have probably the most positive vibe leading into the new year in the country. We're gonna do all kinds of shit. We're really excited. We got ideas for this show.

We're pumped. Maybe, you know, like it's the type of thing. You're sort of bubbly, like a hand slammer. You're thinking, looking back on 2024, looking forward to 2025. And it's a whole, like, I need to stress, it's not just a sloppy boys show. It's a, it's a get dolled up and come out

and spend your whole night with us. And it's the type of thing where, hey, listen, guys, fly there for this. I don't like telling people to rearrange their lives or spending a lot of money on a thing I'm planning. This will be worth it. Fly to Chicago, ring in the New Year in style. We're going to, this is going to be a special, special night. Find a night where your partner seems amenable to a new idea.

Maybe Christmas Eve. And say, honey, I know how you're so amenable to my podcast habit. I have such a good idea to make it up to you for New Year's Eve. And say, honey, we're going out for the night of your life. But it is, it is the night of your life because New Year's, sometimes you don't know what to do, but there's pressure and you're just, what, what am I gonna, you're flying to Chicago, you get in a hotel room, you're coming to the Sloppy Boys thing. Let us worry about New Year's. Folks think back on your past couple New Year's, right?

Sucked. Let me guess, they sucked shit. Come to Chicago, party, have fucking fun for once in your life. Lead into a new year 2025 with some fucking gusto, baby. Last year at New Year's, I had a swollen uvula and I went to the emergency room. You think that was good? You think that was a fun night for me? No. And here's the thing. This is us, even just for us, we chose this as how we think will be fun. We're having Christmas all separate with our families and stuff, but then we've said, what

do we want to do to party? We want to go to our favorite town when it's fucking frozen ass snowy and we want to fucking rock the lid off a fun venue that is going to fucking rock. What's better than being in a bar with your favorite band, a bunch of nice people, that's our audience, and you're in from the cold, you're celebrating. What would you rather do? Stress out about what drinks am I gonna drink?

What music am I gonna hear? Oh, how am I gonna entertain everybody with all my jokes? Folks, let us handle it. We're the professionals. We're professionals. We'll emcee the night. Hey, we'll usher in the new year while you kick back and just relax. We'll usher in new year while you kick back.

Hey, welcome out to Chicago We might dress up as well. Hey, maybe we'll so we're playing what three sets we maybe we'll do costume changes for each. Oh Mike Guys, I just found in my closet this old suit jacket,

blazer I forgot I had. It's black velvet, plush velvet. What if I wear that? Ooh. Yeah. What if I have a bow tie? What if I have a top hat? Huh?

Ooh, that's good. If you wear crushed black velvet, people are going to rub you for good luck. Then I won't, because I don't want my personal space invaded on New Year's good. If you wear crushed black velvet, people are going to rub you for good luck. Then I won't, because I don't want my personal space invaded on New Year's Eve. Ha ha. All right. All right.

Folks. All right. Folks, check out the socials and buy a ticket to New Year's Eve ringing the new year with a grovement. Yep. Grooven, folks. Should all acquaintance be forgotten and never brought to mind. To my brother George, the richest man in town, suspend your disbelief this New Year's Eve.

Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys, where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love and classy cocktails. Yes. Not stupid viral TikTok drinks. It's been weeks since we had a cocktail with a hot dog in it. Hey. But we're still in it. Mm-hmm. Hey. But we're still tasting it, yikes. Jeff, once me and Mike are introduced,

I have a pitch for you about a new tagline. Well, I can't wait to do that. Yeah, Jeff, get out, go out, come on, out with it, boy. I'm Jeff Dunn along with Michael Hanford. Hi. And Tim Kalpakis. What is up? And what's this great idea?

Here on the Sloppy Boys podcast, they say, it's the autumn of authenticity. Oh. Authentic autumn for us. Because authenticity is big with Gen Z. Yeah. Yeah. That's why they don't like Katy Perry. No authenticity. And autumn is a time when like the leaves die out and fall away. So the authenticity

for us is an era where we're dying that out and it'll fall away and the new year will be new fake people. The autumn of wait. Autumn of authenticity. It's the autumn of authenticity. If it was the dawn of authenticity. It's the autumn of authenticity. If it was the dawn of authenticity or the spring of authenticity, that means it's starting. But now it's ending. We're ending the authenticity in damn. I didn't mean it that way, but I see what you mean.

And we don't think this through. You know what? Let's teach this. Let's ditch this whole thing. I don't like autumn of authenticity. Trash. Take that. Take that nasty little word of out. Switch the words to me. You've't like autumn of authenticity. Take that nasty little word of out, switch the words Timmy. You've got authentic autumn right there. Authentic autumn. There you go. Boosh. Authentic autumn. Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys. Authentic autumn. And

this, I'm going to see, here's what I want to say. If we can get a fucking word in. This is the last time I'm going to be sort of apologetic at all about... I feel like I've been in this funk on this... I mean, not funk because it's hilarious and I'm really great, but I've been doing a lot of being apologetic. I'm sorry that I talked about pop stars or I'm sorry that I did a TikTok cocktail, but I've been apologizing enough. We have done our penance. Even on the sloppy boys blowout,

we've given people what they want. So we're caught up. Yeah, we set our Hail Marys. We did our fathers and we blew the priest. So we are done with all of that. And also I think of us as quite headstrong, quite cocksure. Yeah. Not as apologizers. Headstrong. I'll take you on.

So you can't call on anyone. I'll tell you, here's a headstrong. Here's a story about apologizing. You know, you know, you go to therapy every so often. I better help. You go to therapy. When I was in therapy, I was like, we were talking, I was talking to my therapist,

I was like, you're, I was saying, they weren't saying this, but I apologize too much. You know, it's just like, you're like, oh, I'm sorry, but blah, blah, blah. And it's like, wait a minute, I'm not sorry. So after that, I was like, yeah, you know, I'm gonna try this, not apologizing, like really thinking about that word, I'm sorry.

And I had a girlfriend at the time and we were, she said something, I forget what it was, or I said something, I go, I was like, oh sorry, actually no, I'm not sorry, I didn't do anything. Way worse, way worse. I don't know. Actually, I'm not sorry. It was me, it was like something where I had like,

not behaved badly, but like, you know, wasn't somewhere where I was gonna be, or like was doing something late or whatever. And I had to apologize for something else coming up. And I was like, oh, sorry, that came up. What? I'm not sorry. I didn't do anything wrong. I am who I am, baby.

And it immediately led to a fight. It was like, what? Oh, of course. But dude, here's the thing. I hear that a lot. And like, I'm not didn't do anything wrong. Oh, of course. But dude, here's the thing. I hear that a lot. And I'm not somebody who apologizes a lot. There are people who need to not say sorry all the time as social lubricant.

Right, like it's annoying, yeah. But I think we got to bring sorry back. I think it's fine. I tried to help a guy jump his car on my street, and we were unable to do it. And he was like, oh, you know what? I'm gonna try this construction truck because they got like a big old battery

and they've helped me out before. And I just like going back to my car, I was like, oh, sorry, I couldn't help you. And that wasn't like a huge admission by me or whatever, but he gave me the thing that you hear all the time. He's like, hey, you know what my daughter says is don't say sorry because you're not a sorry person. And I was like, oh, OK, thanks, guy who couldn't start his car.

He's giving you a life lesson. I'll take that into my life. Yeah, that's a weird time to bring that up. But when I say, I'm sorry I couldn't help you start your car, I'm not falling on my sword for you or anything. It just made me like, I regret that I wasn't able to help you the way that I wish I could. Yeah, think of that. I'm not like falling on my sword for you or anything. It just made like, I regret that I wasn't able to help you the way that I wish I could.

Yeah, think of that, like I'm sorry, like I wish I could have helped you, not like I have deep remorse about my behavior. When he said that, you should be like, actually I don't really care about you, so goodbye. I don't care if your car explodes. I don't need your car to move one more inch in my life.

It doesn't matter to me. I hope your car explodes. Whenever I have the urge, if I do something and I feel bad for a second, if I have the urge to say I'm sorry, instead I pause and instead I say, hey, I'm bad as I wanna be. Yeah. If you, if I was microphoneed when I'm out in public,

just like on the subway or something, all you'd hear from me is, bup, sorry, bup, bup, sorry, bup, all you'd hear from me is, bup, sorry, bup, sorry, bup. I do this little noise, bup, sorry, bup, bup. Record some of those words, bup. I'll try, I'll try. You guys want to get into some booze news? B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b I know where this is going. It's Booze News, you new little bitch. Breaking the Place was sent to us by Zach Mack, aka the ghost of Craig T. Nelson.

And if you have a Booze News theme, email it to sloppyboyspodcasts.gmail.com. Breaking the Place, that's funny. Zach Mack, the secret adventures of Zach Mack. Oh, that was a Mack attack, you're telling me. I was watching a little bit of, thank you Mac for bringing that in. Zach Mac. I was.

Macawar. I saw some little clip of, I think the Limp Bizkit from, ooh, sometime this year. And it was like, ah, these guys are having a lot of fun. It's not as like, I don't know. I think when I listened to them when they first came out, I was like, what the fuck is this? Should I hate this?

And I don't even want to like hear it because I don't like the guy who's doing it. But now we've all grown up, we've all matured. You're just watching people have some fun playing the hits. And it was fun to see. I like fun music. Yeah, they've aged into their campiness a little bit. I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, Joe.

Also, there's been a lot of more, there's been discourse lately in reference more to like, television and movies about how you get awards and accolades and acclaim for going more serious than fun. And I think that that's, we could use that in the music thing too. Like a lot of my favorite artists are- Like your favorite artists favorite artists.

Great musicians, but they're also, not talking about Limp Bizkit. But I give extra points if you could be super smart and super impactful and fun that's harder than being mopey and sad and smart and impactful like most smart people are sad so if you could put that extra, if you can be redemptive. Cool. But most said people are stupid. Um, what's the actual booze news, please? Okay. Let's run a tight ship now that we're a serious cocktail podcast.

Okay. But I do have a question about limp biscuit. I'll save it for after. Okay. Um, yeah. Well, okay. So back to the authentic autumn, uh, some, so back to the authentic autumn. Something blew up big and it reminded me of, remember last week on the pod we were talking

about, Mike, I know you don't really love corporate shit, but every once in a while, well, you come around sometimes. If it serves me. Yeah, if it sparks joy, sure. We've heard these stories from the past of like a Madison Avenue corporate marketing whiz coming up with like a drink for a brand and then it's a hit. I was talking about Galeano doing the Harvey Wallbanger or Chartreuse doing Swampwater back in the 70s.

Well, very recently, something just got absolutely huge. It's a different version because it's a chain restaurant Instead of a booze brand, but there is something that is absolutely Massively runaway crazy hugely popular on tick-tock Please say for tonight's him Looking at my for up tick-tock now now why in booze news would I talk about Fortnite being popular? You said amazingly, wildly popular, my brain. To make us happy.

If we were going on my TikTok, it is very popular on my TikTok. That's true. Well, I do want to make my boys happy. Because I was looking up how to defeat a certain quest. So I'm not talking about Fortnite, but I but I'm talking about the Aussie Jaws. He had the Aussie Jaws. I just sent to you. He sent us a link.

What is this? It was a link. The Aussie Jaws. The AKA the shark attack, AKA the shark bite. This is a cocktail from Outback Steakhouse. And it blew up really huge. I just sent you guys a TikTok video of someone doing it. Yeah, that looks cool. It's, it's an Outback. You say, why the hell can't I get that?

An Outback. So what you're looking at is a big icy blue drink with a shark, a plastic shark in it that it's like, it's tail is down and it's, and its mouth is up and it's sort of in there like a shark, a plastic shark in it, that it's like, its tail is down and its mouth is up and it's sort of in there like a garnish, like a celery stick or whatever. And the hand comes in, takes the shark, picks the shark up, it's hollow and it dumps out a shot of deep red

into the blue drink. That's sick, dude. That's the blood of who he ate. As that blood's hitting the water, the way it like clouds the water is very Jaws. Yeah. You know, it's very shark bite. It's giving Jaws.

You know what they should do? They should have little bits of candy, like a candy arm and a candy leg or something. A candy license plate that comes out of its mouth. Usually when people pitch it, it's like, if it fits like, with like a worm or a gummy bear as a candy that exists, but a candy arm, yeah, just go to the, go to the candy shop, get a candy arm and put it in there.

Well, you'd have to, I mean, they would have to do the molding and figure that out themselves over and out back. I wouldn't want to do that for them, but. I guess they made the shark. Yeah, they get little pieces made, and then it feels like a real Jaws moment. And look, if you can't get a gummy just arm,

make a gummy person and cut the arms off, and then use that in the drink. That they do have. That would be easier to come by. This is just in time for Halloween. This is going to blow up huge, Tim. Kind of spooky. So I mean, it already has basically an outback.

What I think is cool is like good for Outback, right? Like I haven't thought about them in forever. They've been around. They're trying to make way. We've all worked for companies where you're like, maybe I could break through the noise and move the needle about, you know, and you can't. And whoever came up with this drink got people like TikTok kids are going to Outback Sego's in groups and going three, two, one, and dumping their shark blood out. It's like a, the drink, people say it tastes like lemonade, but it's like something, some blue curacao type thing,

making it blue. And then it's grenadine and raspberry liqueur in the shark. You're talking Chambord and roses? Chambord and roses, holy shit. Dude, see, they could have fucked this up by making it too much of a- too much of like a big dumb sweetie. If it's just like a blue curacao lemonade thing, this drink is going to stay in the test of time.

Sorry, Vogue is going to be here for quite a while. Also, Smart of Outback to be like, yeah, it's a shark drink. Like Australia, we don't not have sharks. Every place has sharks, though. a shark drink. Like Australia, we don't not have sharks. Every place has sharks. I have to be. No, Australia has a shark thing. Yeah, it's like Jaws. Whites and stuff. Aussie Jaws.

It's Jaws IE. They've just made it seems like they've just made like the shark they're like souvenir guy. And who knows if they're really there. We tried it with a rue and nobody bought it. I'm looking up, I don't think there's any outback steak houses near me. There's one in Burbank and then there's one out in Santa Anita area. But I would like to get, well here's the thing though.

Maybe not the heart of Brooklyn, Mike. I don't know. Lively Australian theme change. No, I thought there would be one in like, uh, in somewhere in Times Square. Yeah. A long Island, probably New Jersey. I bet a Peretti. Yeah. Jersey's yeah. Jersey has them. Um, I, but so it's, it's crazy how big like Jessica alerted me to this. And then I was like, I'm going to check Tik Tok. And I was like, I'm gonna check tik-tok And I was there's a whole you look at the hashtag

There's a whole bunch of videos for it, but I saw one I was like, whoa eight million views and then I was like, wait a second 80 million views Like this is that's how like just the visual of this blood mixing of the water is making people so happy and like communal thing of going and doing this together making people so happy and like the communal thing of going and doing this together it's like a major thing for them. People are sick. People are sick. That is so funny that's like yeah I've heard of Outback a lot. What brought him back? A little toy shark. I had a drink like this when I was in oh let's say

Pennsylvania and I think I said to you guys I had a little ducky, a little rubber ducky floating in it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. BJ's has one of those. It's a bathtub. BJ's restaurant. Oh, BJ. Yeah. BJ's brewhouse. BJ's brewhouse. It comes in a bathtub. That's they have a little plastic bathtub. It's like a scorpion bowl type thing, but it's, you know, blue drink in a tub.

It's got a little duck. Good, good, good. Good. Did I talk about my niece and the Pazooki on pod? Yeah. Zuki came up. Yeah, I think you did. Maybe not on pod. Tell it Tim. Maybe not on pod.

I love just like pouty teenage niece who's like kind of too cool to talk to me. Sometimes it will be like, like, Hey, we're going to Starbucks. Do you want to come? And she'll be like, just get me a PSL. And we're like, it's so funny that she's too cool, but she wants something cool, but she's saying PSL, like the thing that they want us to say she's going for it. Also the same thing that all the soccer moms and all the older

guys, like all dads and moms, everyone's drinking the PSL. It's not like a clue. But they say, whatever, give me a pizza. Well, there was a time where it was like, she wanted to go to some house party and her mom was not letting her go. So instead we were like, we're all just like going out to dinner and she was like bummed and I was like, hey, what's like, what type of food are you like? What do you want to get?

And she was like, I don't know. Like maybe we go to BJ's and get a puss-o-key. A pizza cookie. And then like we're there. I'm like, well, this is a great pizzeria. And she's like, yeah, whatever. Too cool. This is a great pizzeria.

I'm looking up a pizzeria right now. This is a hell of a pizzeria. It's nice. It's like a pan pizza Cook, I don't know if she's too cool or you're cool at all. No, I'm I'm definitely cool. Maybe a bazooka. Hey speaking of limb biscuit. I did it all for bazooka. I Did it all for bazooka? I did it all perforate. I ate all the bazooka. What? All right, is that it for Booze News? Wrap it up.

No, it's not. I've got I've got some booze news. Don't wrap it up. Since when? And this is not booze related. It's tangentially booze related. I have failed to get abs by August. This is me.

Finally, I ran finally ran all the data. I did not get abs by August. The new thing is as by autumn. Thanksgiving abs is the new one. Applesauce abs abs by applesauce applesauce. Wait, cranberry. Some people have applesauce at Thanksgiving. So so you're trying to get abs during the toughest time of the year to get abs.

Is that well, by Jeff, I painted myself into such a corner with this thing that I need to get abs by this year. If you had a shredded rock hard six pack the morning of Thanksgiving, then it's going to be really hard to maintain from Thanksgiving through New Year's. But I like it. Well, that's not the deal. The deal is not the real deal is to Thanksgiving. So you don't have to maintain, you have to achieve. I have to achieve by when it's Thanksgiving this year. When the applesauce hits the table, Tim, it's abs by applesauce.

Damn, Mike, we can help though. Tim, this is perfect, because the weight is gonna shake out. I've been telling some other friends, like, we're not helping you. We're gonna be on the podcast tour leading up to Thanksgiving. We'll be there to like coach you.

Well, that's gonna to be very tough because. So I just got set up in the back of the van. My last night of our tour is in L.A. at the Lodge Room the night before Thanksgiving. Let's do it. Let's do a shirtless reveal. Abraville on stage. Oh, I've Abraville at the last show of the tour. I got to work on these and we got to be able to see some. We're going to have some lights up there, so you'll be able to see the fine show of the tour. I gotta work on these and we gotta be able to see some,

we're gonna have some lights up there so you'll be able to see the defined shadows in the abs. Okay. Well, Tim had an ab too. Didn't you have like a top left, you had an ab, right? Well, because I was having spasms. Yeah, but it kept twitching. It kept spasming.

I was having spasms in my one ab, so it grew huge. This is gonna be very difficult to do this on tour. All right. We'll try it out. Gobble, gobble, abs. Gobble, gobble, ab reveal. Gobble, gobble, toil and trouble. That's exciting. Folks, get your tickets at the Linktree in our socials in our bio.

When you guys are doing that, Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Oh, if you miss they laugh at you. That's for our younger audience. I'm young.

Look at this. I just found this on my desk. I've got a nice folded up lobster bib and I forgot I was going to wear this to the Summer Jam slam I was going gonna wear on stage. Ah, that's good. We should come out and do all our shows now, like running on stage, ripping those off as if we just came from a meal.

Ha ha ha! Fingers slick with butter. What if we do a New England run, and we have like a lobster, we're like Portland, Maine, and it's a lobster fest butter show, and we have greasy hands on our instruments. That's good. That's funny. This stick's flying out of my hands, and people catch it. Oh butter show and we have greasy hands on our instruments. That's good buddy. This stick's flying out of my hands and people catch it.

Oh, no wonder he couldn't hold on to it. It's covered in butter. Hey, I just thought I had drumsticks, it's a crab claw. Remember when we were in, I think it was Chicago, night one in Chicago this past year, somebody brought us up, Rumpelmints I think was the, ended up being a very pepperminty dress. And I got it all. I spilled it all over my hands and it was so sticky.

And I like playing like my hands were like sticking together. No stickies. Yeah, folks, don't bring Rumpelmints to the show anymore. I liked it. You can bring it for Tim. My guitar was sticky as well. So bring any booze to show. Buy them at the as well. Don't bring any booze to the show. Buy them at the bar.

You should be buying the booze at the bar. All right. Guys, we're trying to run a good show. I know. Let's go. Who's got the drink of the day? It's not me. Tim.

Tim, what you got? I got it. And it's called. This is going to be confusing because we were just talking about rock shows. And this word is also a brand of guitar. So it's going to be hard for us. It might be kind of throw us, but the Marshall cordial stop. Ibanez, the Gibson you've had. I have had. Yes. Me too. Where'd you guys have, I think I had it at some bar. Dresden?

They've got it at the Dresden, they've got it, I've seen it on the menu at the Mousse and Frank. It's not my go-to. I had one in New York somewhere. And I didn't particularly like it. Well, I've had, I saw, it first came across my desk when I saw Roger Sterling, AKA John Slattery drinking one on Mad Men. So I bought a jar of those little pickled onions,

pearl onions. It's very funny that they're called cocktail onions, but like they're fundamental to this drink and like kind of nothing else. And this is not a popular drink. Maybe you see them on a Bloody Mary. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, we've gotten them for Bloody Mary nights before. And this is not a popular drink. Maybe you see them on a Bloody Mary. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, we've gotten them for Bloody Mary nights before.

Bloody Mary days. Bloody Mary nights, Bloody Mary days. The idea for this, it's like, well, the Gibson was invented when someone was like, hey, put a cocktail on my cocktail. It was like, how do they have cocktail? It's more of a stew on you. You'd see those in stews more than cocktails.

Yeah, but the pickled one, you know? Aha. In a stew. Stick it in the stew. Stew you buy like the frozen bag of these. Yes. And this is how you know, folks, that we're going to be doing the show forever. Because you switch out an olive.

A garnish. You switch out a garnish. That's a whole new episode. That's an hour of content. They don't want that. That's not impressing them. I'm saying this is good news for us three. Fuck them.

Yeah, yeah. Next week we're going to put a little slice of summer squash on the side of a drink and call that a new thing. Call that a Dutton. Summer squash? It's also funny in this era where we just hit the like the peak of savory martinis having like crazy, you know, like the anchovy martini and this and that and like the garnishes are swapped out quite a bit. So it's funny to have this martini where one like swap the garnet one little roundy for another little roundy and it and it's the whole new name. Whereas like people are garnishing martinis with pickles

and all kinds of shit now. So wait, how different is it from a martini, Tim? Well, Jeff, to answer that, I'll have to take you back to the 1800s. ["Slobby Boys"] Anyone who listens to the 100th episode of the Slobby Boys podcast, the martini episode, knows the history of the dry martini, of course, but it's sort of split between New York and San

Francisco. And as you know, first, martinis were kind of like very vermouthy and had bitters in there, like a shot of bitter or like even like orange bitters, little bitters, and then like toward getting later into the 1800s, rounding the corner into the 1900s, they're doing less vermouth and they're getting drier, sometimes dropping the bitters. And really, when you drop the bitters and swap that all for a Gibson, I mean, for a little onion, it becomes a Gibson. Originally it's like the bitters thing

is just as important as the onion early on. It was like a martini with no bitters is a Gibson. And you're like, holy shit. But then it really just became known for the- I've never had a martini with bitters, have you? Never. And I never will. No, I've never seen that even an option.

I've had like a 50-50 martini with a little, I kind of, I thought that's what Jack Schramm had us make, but I've had like a little bit of orange bitters in a teeny, but remember when we did the Martinez, which was the Martinez? Yeah. That was the precursor to the martini, and I think it had some Angostura in there.

Anyway, in the days that the dry martini was having its boom, somebody at some point, there's several stories about the person who said, you know what? Give me a no-bitters martini and give me an onion with it. There's evidence that supports several of these theories and even David Wondrich, cocktail historian, hasn't really picked one. Some say it's Charles Dana Gibson, a famous New York artist who drew the Gibson Girl illustrations in Collier's Magazine, say that he first ordered it. Or San Francisco businessman Walter D.K.

Gibson at the Bohemian Club. Or I like this one, it was an Onion Valley onion farmer from the town of Gibsonville. And then multiple stories about different guys doing this trick. I read this about two different dudes where it was like, you know that guy? He was like a businessman back in the three martini lunch era, but he didn't like to drink too much. So, he'd have maybe like one martini, but then he'd switch to just water in a martini

glass and to mark which glass was his, he'd get an onion instead of an olive. I don't know why do you swap in your martinis, but, or I heard like more like a tea, this guy was a tea total. He didn't drink at all. So, but he wanted to be able to schmooze in high society. So he had water and a martini glass with an onion. I simply don't know. But.

That's funny to be like, I don't want people to know I'm doing something weird. So I'll have a, instead of putting it out, I'll put it on you. Yeah. I'll have a thing that people might even be like, that's weird. Let me taste that and then call attention to it.

You have to be like, oh, fuck. It's just water in an onion. Who's speaking of the getting people drunk, but not being drunk thing. When I took the Hearst castle tour, they said that that William Randolph Hearst would be like, Hey, Charlie Chaplin or Walt Disney. Want to come up to my castle? He'd fly people up to LA.

He'd feed them and get them all drunk and he didn't drink. And then they'd spill Hollywood secrets and then he would go upstairs and like wire them to all of his newspapers. Yeah, and it was just sort of like a, people kind of knew it was this like tacit agreement that they all had. It's kind of like how the paparazzi like knows

when Kylie's gonna go shopping. So like somebody on her team will let it slip. Yeah. And round and round we go. How come we don't have to? We don't have that problem at all. I've been leaking it and no one seems to really us. Yeah. Well, we're not quite at that chapel ron level where we have to say, everyone leave me be. No, you shut the fuck up. Well, what if Jeff, what if I got you drunk and like on this podcast and I was hearing

all your secrets and then I had an ex account and I was posting like Dutz dirt, dishing Dutz dirt and all is all coming out. But you were like, who, who has this Dutz dirt thing? Whose handle is this? Who's the mole? Dish and Dutz dirt. It says dishing Dutz dirt but it's at Tim Gell-Packett's. I'll ask Tim.

Tim, do you know? He might know. You just mentioned Walt Disney, Tim. And listen to this. I just heard this little fun factoid today. Walt Disney holds the record for most Oscars with 22. Has 22 Oscarsars old Disney. Wow. And that's the record.

Probably as producer is like, yeah. Yeah, like, but I guess he was like the producer, right? Like he. Yeah. He absolutely accepted Oscars right back in the day. Probably. But I don't know what Disney movies were winning Oscars for like best picture. Bumbo. Best flying elephant. Snow White. I bet Snow White won the fucking first Oscar for all best picture. Bumbo. Best flying elephant. Snow White.

I bet Snow White won the fucking first Oscar for all I know. Well, I might take a look in to see what his Oscar wins were a little later. Riveting. That's a good podcast. You know, the first Oscars were at the Roosevelt Hotel. Hold on a second. Before we do anything, we did, we got to put out the presidential vote. Oh my God.

Yes, I forgot. Wait, so is it Authentic Autumn or is it the elections coverage war room bullpen style? It's all that and more. That's what you're getting on the sloppy boys and that's what you're getting on the blowout, folks. Come to Patreon, the sloppy boys Patreon blowout. Oh, this is a good one this week. We talked to cocktail king, Dale DeGroff.

Yeah. Oh my God. He looms large over this podcast and we got to sit with him and we boiled it down to a great little, a great little hot, you know, we spent the afternoon with him, but we turned it into a podcast episode. That's pretty cool. King of the cocktail, who sat down and talks to the sloppy boys

is what you're saying. And if you subscribe to the sloppy boys blowout, there's an episode of it, that? Yes, of that. Oh, yes. That's awesome. I love that. That's so cool.

He talks about bartending at the Rainbow Room in 30 Rock. He talks about the night that Madonna made the Cosmo famous. He was great. He was the type of guy where anything you'd mentioned, he'd be like, oh yeah, I got a story for that. And it's more involved than you could imagine. And I liked his overall thing, not no spoilers, but like his, his take big picture on, on, on, uh, on, on the bar industry and hospitality and stuff

like that. Very fascinating guy. I'm going to go listen to that episode after this. It's going to be cool. Great. Okay. I tweeted, I tweeted who should be president Harris walls or Trump Vance two weeks ago, Trump got 11%. Last week he got 9%. So he's trending down and eyeballs across the nation. People are starting to look to us. I've heard like CNN was like kind of blowing up my phone and be like, really, so is this trending down? 11 to nine, is this trending down, Tim?

Yes, it's too lower. Oh, okay. It's week to week trending down, it seems. It seems. It seems, the data shows. Now wait a minute, did you even tell us- We're in the middle of fucking recipe, Tim. Hurry, Tim, and let's go.

Holy shit. Here's what we're gonna do, guys. The recipe, like the traditional recipe for a dry martini is six to one, right? Gin to vermouth. And that makes for funny numbers because it's like two and a half ounces of gin and then five twelfths dry vermouth or something. But a lot of other, so I'm looking at the Diffords recipe, which is why we like the Diffords guys guide

and it's six to one. It's the, the recipe is two and a half ounces gin, five 12th Stoochie driver Muth. So that's a driver Muth. And it says stir all ingredients with ice and strain into cocktail glass. It's a stir guys. Garnish with a pair of skewered pickled cocktail onions. Now I swear that Roger Sterling, I saw just like one onion floating in the bottom of his glass, but they're saying to tooth, to toothpick up two cocktail onions. Now, you know, my, my whole thing with the olives and two

olives is bad luck. I was told once. Yeah. Even, uh, you want odd numbers, one or three with, with onions, I guess to even numbers is good luck. Yeah. even you want odd numbers, one or three. With onions, I guess, even numbers is good luck. Yeah, that's good luck. That's good luck. Or perhaps this recipe doesn't care about my luck. That six to one recipe is traditional and that's what was listed in the difference guide. But a lot of people, including different himself and the failing New York Times and liquor.com They all do the five to one So one could do the five to one, but I my gut is I kind of

And I also check vine bear they go crazy with a vermouth. So no, thanks But my gut is to do the six to one because that's what we did in our dry Yeah, teeny episode. I'd like round one, we stick with more gin. I'm not a big vermouth guy. And then maybe round two, we talk about doing the one that's a hair more vermouth. Great. Great.

Folks, we're going to go stir these up. When we come back, first Gibson six. First Gibbs. I can't believe it's not a shaker. We're back talking the Gibson. Let's see him Gibson. Looking good. A big yield here. I think yield off that recipe.

Or you could be like me, have a small glass so it's the perfect yield. Ah. What is that, a pony? Or a Nick and Nora? This is just a small martini glass, but I like the whole concept of not a big yield is like, you know how many ounces you're putting in,

so the idea that you're surprised, like, oh, dude, like it's a bad thing. Hey! It got clogged up in there. Dude. Like, they gave you the there. They gave you the numbers. They gave you the data. It's just because sometimes I make a drink that fills us the tops. Like, hey, what the hell happened here?

This should have more in it. But sometimes you shake this shit out of a drink, then you get all that sort of ice volume. I know this was it's as a shaken Martini guy, it's challenging for me to witness this this stirred one, but I'm on board. I'm going to give it my all. Yeah. All right. Here we go. Sips sips.

OK. OK. Martini. That's a dry martini and I love it. Now I've been at a stirred one in a long time. Yeah. Well, because you you got to order it that way, Tim. You guys are both big martini orderers. I like a martini just fine. But the amount of times where we all go to a bar, maybe even with Robert O'Gee, and I'm the only one at the table not getting a martini.

We go around, it's martini, martini, martini. And I'm like, I'll try a Ferdat and Coke or give me a Mai Tai or whatever. I'm an odd man out when it comes to martinis, often. Often. I just think martinis for when I don't want to fuck around. I love all the other stuff, but when I just like, give me some like, I'm settled in. I've already had my aperitivo.

Stomach prime. And also I like it with like when I'm sitting, as you know, Jeff, it's not a fun glass to walk around with. So if I'm seated at a steak house or I'm seated at a cocktail bar. A martini for me is a nice, it kind of depends on the place too. Not necessarily the quality of the booze, although that helps. I one time had a martini at an airport in a plastic cup and it was disgusting. But sometimes I'll go to a place and have a martini

and it makes the whole venue feel a little classier. You know what I mean? This drink too. If you got a place with some history, a place with some substance. You're doing them a favor. You're adding to the decor. Hey, I could order these all night folks

if you want me to keep the vibe nice, but it's going to cost you. Yes, thank you. Please. Other people walk in and they're like, this place is okay. Oh, a guy with a martini. I do that thing. I go to a restaurant, I plug in my aux cord and I start DJing.

I order drinks that look beautiful. I take over the whole of that man. Now I want to say something about this. Oh, I think, you know, I've got the driver muth I've gotten there for in my fridge, my fridge. I keep it in the fridge. I think it's still good. You know what I mean? It's one of those things like I don't know if this for Muth's good anymore. I think it's supposed to be three in refrigerated and ideally

three months, I believe. Oh, mine's not refrigerated at more than three months. You got to refrigerate, Jeff. Mine's 100 years, but in the fridge. This is ideal. Oh, that new fridge. Tim, you never sent us a picture of that new fridge. Damn.

Oh, folks. My new fridge. Jeff saw it this weekend. We were watching the Adam Sandler special, and I said, no, no, Jeff, come over here. We were watching the Adam Sandler special and I said no no Jeff come over here Take a look into my fridge beautiful, I've beautiful

Jeff What did you get? Mookie had a fresca Jeff had a Pepsi zero. Oh, that's right You've got all the stuff in the the little cans the little cans and they go all the way to the back man All the way to the back double level or we how way to the back. Double level, or how does that work? Double level. And Topo Chico's several types of beer. Oh, oh, oh. Take a picture of this damn thing, and the outside.

I want to see the outside. Want to see if my Christmas card made the cut. Maybe I'll take a snap of a picture of me while I'm in it. I put my onion, my pair of onions on a skewer. I've got some really nice metal reusable martini. They look awful testicular though, don't they? They certainly do. Hey, that's none of your business, Jeff.

It's part of why I don't like them. Well, why'd you put them in that weird hangy pouch and swing them around like that? My little satchel, my onion satchel? That's added to the problem. I put my thing in there. I swirled it around. So I am getting on the back end a little bit of,

I haven't eaten my garnish yet. Oh, I just bit one. But I'm getting a little onion aftertaste. Oh, baby, that's a, I haven't gotten that yet. That's a punch. That's a punch. Well, you know, I did too.

I was gonna go out and get some cocktail and there's a whole jar of them. Something I probably would never use again unless I make this again. And I thought to myself, Mike, wait a second. Didn't you just get some cornichon pickles recently that had some onions floating around the brine? Yes.

I'm making money on this drink. Wait, let's see that onion. You had onions floating around your cornichons? Oh my God, he's got them, Tim. I put three in there, I'm sticking with the three. Here I am going to the store buying a fucking jar of pearl onions when I have a jar of cornichons

that also had some of those floating around there. Fuck my life. I got a feeling there's gonna be a stew in your future that's gonna need those onions though. I like the idea of garnishing a martini with one of those cornichons, Mike. Anyway, I'm going to eat my onion. Let's see how it goes.

It's pickled, right? Whoa. Yeah. That's a lot of taste. Whoa. You pick up a cucumber and it's like, what are you starting with, really? You pickle an onion?

That thing's got flavor already. And now you're pickling it? Wow. It's a big time flavor. This is all shit. You know what I just made me think of it? Cause you know, onions kind of give me a, you get it on your hands.

You're like, Ooh, it smells like I ate a fucking Italian sub or something. Yeah. I just saw on fucking, on fucking my Jersey Mike's app I missed yesterday. I could have gotten free points. No, double the points. I could have gotten double the sandwich points. I'm such a fucking idiot. That's sad. I can't believe it.

I saw it when I woke up in the morning as a maybe I'll get a sub later. I did not. Jeff, I want to go back to something we've discussed before. Say the word. Say what this garnish is. Cocktail onion. Onion. Yeah, you say it, how would you, O-U-N-G-O or something, onion? I put a little G in there. Where does that go though?

It's sort of a spring, onion, onion. That's how you say it. That just springs you off there, onion. What do you say, onion, onion? Onion. What do you say, the way that it's supposed to be said? I say on-ee-on. I brought that up today because I knew I heard this.

I heard something today. On-yan. And I knew we were going to be saying this word wrong today on the podcast. So I was like, here's another word I heard wrong. You want to pronounce this word. Have you ever heard somebody say the word length as length? Yeah.

Like they lose the G. They take your G, Jeff, and they don't have it because it's in your onion word. Length. Length, people say. I hate that. Length. Length. Vanilla, length.

I gave up meat for length. Pfft. Pfft. I mean, there's little, we have little regional things. I can't think of anything that you guys say weird though. I don't think, oh, I'd speak with very, very, it took me a long time to get this Atlantic coast diction, Jeff.

A plum. Yeah. A plume. I say ruff, rumb. My problem is instead of a saying a plume, I say a plum. A plum. When I'm talking about how I speak. Have you heard that thing though, the Atlantic accent?

Have we talked about that? That there was a, that was in movies when you hear someone that's like, hi, I talk like this. That's a bad version of it. But it's just very, I'm here and it sounds like I'm talking on the radio, darling. That type of thing. Yeah. And then it was like the early 1900s way of talking that was like good for audio.

So they trained actors to talk in this middle timbre. Language of the media. Yeah, that's what I get. It's called a transatlantic accent because it's also became a class thing of like, you're like, oh, it's like Atlantic coast fancy, but it's not like Locust Valley, Lockjaw. And it's not.

Ah. Let's say that again. Lockjaw. Locust Valley is ajaw, and it's not. We'd say it again. Locust Valley is a fancy neighborhood on Long Island. And, you know, like when they talk like this, so when you talk like that, you got the dead on the critic. You're like the dead on the critic. Oh, also speaking of the critic,

love, it has a very transatlantic like accent. I feel like that's a lot of the radio voice. I think when I think of transatlantic like accent. Does he not? I feel like he does a lot of the radio voice. I think when I think of transatlantic accent, I think of Clark Gable and yes, I think that. Oh, and John Lovitz plays the radio in Brave Little Toaster. This is crazy. Holy shit. Now this is like Vin Diesel and whatever his thing was.

Dinosaur, Sinclair. Sinclair. Yes, Diesel, yes. And Gordon Bombay. Gordon Bombay territory. Names. Speaking of Bombay, what gin do you use? I got a little Tangere.

Beefeater. Beefeater. Tangere for you, Jeff. Seagrams. Let's rank our gins. Seagrams. I'm Beefeater over here. Beef eater. Tangere for you, Jeff. Seagrams. Let's rank our gins. Seagrams. I'm beef eater over here. Rank them.

I usually go when I'm looking back there, I say, you got beef eater? No. All right, you got Bombay. That's usually with the Bombay Sapphire. That's usually what I would go with. But if they don't have that, Tangere is the third up. I don't really like Hendrix, and I don care about like the newer, I don't know. The other day somebody tried to give me something like, it's this junipery taste and blah, blah,

blah. I was like, yeah. I really, I think that the higher top shelf gins are very botanical and I think they're good in a gin and tonic or something, but I really hate them in a dry martini. I always just get a well, I say a martini with olives and they say, whichever gin, and I say well, and I'm hoping they have Gordon's or Seagram's or something like that, but I agree.

Beaver is nice, straight ahead, good gin. Yeah. I guess I'm not like a martini guy drinking. This is as naked as I've ever had a gin. I do tangere kind of just out of habit. I like the look of the bottle. Yeah. If I was a more experienced martini joker.

I'm sure there's a Dre Snoop connection there. There is. Michael, there is. Hey, when I said Clark Gable before, I didn't mean to say Clark Gable. Who's that other guy? A little bit later, he's in like North by North East and From Here to Eternity.

Oh, Jimmy Stewart. Jimmy Stewart. No. Then I'm saying the wrong movies. I'm thinking of he's more of a WASPy preppy guy. He's wearing a Tweety kind of. Oh, Gregory Peck? Wait, what's that?

What's from here to eternity kissing in the, in on the beach in the wave? I don't know this shit. While Tim's looking that up, I did some research on this, uh, this Disney thing. I know Fortnite. Jeff, you're a film major, Jeff. No, I know Fortnite and not this stuff. Yeah. He knows Fortnite and well, Fortnite is very cinematic these days, which we can get into later.

But the 22 Walt Disney Academy Awards, the Oscars, they're all for best animated short. And it's like, oh, did you invent this category, dude? Yeah, no shit, bro. They're all best animated short. Or best documentary too. Who are best documentary to? I don't know what those would be. Best show, best short in 1954, best short subject to real

out of two reels going here to real Derry Grant. Hmm. Gary Grant. Yeah, I wouldn't. There's a proper guy. He's mad proper. He's mad proper. Oh yeah. Cary Grant. He likes to come correct. What he came correct.

What is this Turner Classic movies all of a sudden? I know. You know what I'm thinking? What that onion when I ate it, it was a lot and I probably wouldn't. I can have onion breath here in my home, but I probably wouldn't be doing that out at a fancy cocktail bar. You don't have to eat your garnish. We do because we're voracious, our appetite. But a lot of people- Yeah. We eat with gusto. Just leave it as they consume it with their eyes and they just finish the drink and move on, move along. That's totally allowed. But what I'm thinking here is I loved this taste. There was just a lot of it.

And then when you get to the center of the pickled onion, it's almost like a raw onion. So, but I'm thinking Dirty Gibson, man. Dirty Gibson. Dirty. Drip some of the brine. This could be good. Try that out, Tim, because you got the full thing of onions, right? Yep.

I got Dirty Sue brand and and I thought it was gonna be. Oh. Oh, I saw that at Albertsons. Yeah, I thought it was gonna be smothered in vermouth or something, but it was a big boy. You know that Dirty Sue's Martini, just the regular Martini mix, Dirty Martini mix? Yeah, it's just like olive.

It's like olive juice, olive brand. Yeah, but it's not right. It's not right. It's like off a little bit, don't you, but it's not right. It's not right. It's like off a little bit, don't you think? Something's wrong with it. I know what you mean. I also, I do like that, but I know what you mean. It's not exactly the brine that's in the thing.

I bought one that I didn't like. Some other brand that's like, has an ampersand that's like blank and blank. And it was just a bottle of olive brine and it was so salty. And the problem with that was like, if you put enough to make it the appropriate amount of salty in your dirty martini,

it wasn't enough to get any olive taste. It was just like, I feel like you should, you should make a brine that's not too salty. I want a lot of olive flavor and a lower amount of salt so I can put a lot in there. So if you're somebody like that, folks, you just got to buy the olive. Do the work. Buy the olive.

Yep. Do the work. And also it's probably cheaper. Plus you get those olives. Hey, and there's olive oil martinis. Those are good. Buy the olives. Put them all on your fingers.

You can walk around the house, goof off. I really love it. But save the brine. Have you guys seen this internet thing that's stupid where people will be like, not email. They're like, I use it every day. It'll be like a TikTok or something and it's like, it'll be like viral and it's like,

you're getting ripped off by your martini and it'll show you like the displacement in the glass that they don't fill the martini glass up all the way. Oh, and I saw something like that. Or something like that with other drinks. the displacement in the glass that they don't fill the martini glass up all the way. And I saw something like that or something like that with other drinks. Yeah, it's like you order a martini. They make you like a four ounce martini

and sometimes they pour it into a nine ounce glass. Who cares? But there's a thing where it's like, look, look how much water this martini glass actually holds. It's like a pint of water. And they're trying to prove to you that your bar, trying to rip you off. But it's like, there was never any deal that you have to fill the glass.

Yeah. That's like when people would get upset about, I remember back in the day, TVs were four by three, and they would release movies in widescreen mode. And then I worked at Suncoast. So people would come in and were like, return movies and be like, it's not even filling the screen.

Oh my God. And I would try and tell these poor new picture, right? I'd be like, oh, this is actually what the director intends. What's a director? And they'd be like, no, it needs to fill my screen. OK, this is what how it's supposed to be. Don't worry about there's more space. It's just like this Gibson thing, Tim. These people are probably happy when they watch the streaming. They're streaming old Simpsons

episodes these days, they got the half of the fucking screen chopped off to fit the wide screen, but they were they were animated in four, three. Fools Mike. I know. I thought they right there with you. Everyone's screaming. One guy is quiet, but he's right there. I mean, it's affecting me in a different way.

This type of stuff affects people differently. Yeah, you're allowed to have your own reaction, emotional response. That's fine. Remember when the Simpsons did, maybe FX did like. Simpsons did it. All the Simpsons episodes in a row, like all 20 seasons or something.

Ooh. I feel like during that, they made a big change and rejiggered the, the aspect ratio, aspect ratio. Sometimes you gotta make that change. You gotta look in the mirror and make that change. They did this, Stu, but they made it so that Bart, they made it so that Bart wants you to have a cow. Yeah, and now his head is completely flat on top.

No bumps, no spikes. No, not room, there's no room. And they gave Homer a fourth hair. Yeah. Man, I wanna make a second round, but I gotta say, I'm slow sippin'. This is what you do with a martini, folks. You don't chug, you slow sip.

Yeah. This is a nice slow sipper. I'm gonna dump mine back in the mixing glass, which I have in my freezer, cube still intact. I'm gonna pour in I'm going to pour in a little bit of onion, Brian, and give it a spin. It's going to be a dirty Gibson. Dirty pop. Dirty pop. Want to get dirty. Onion. I don't know what I'm going to do differently. I don't know of anything. Um, I think I'm going to sideline this whole thing. I'm going to put the whole thing in

the freezer. My whole thing. And just rethink your life? And just make a fresh one. But I like this dirty Gibson idea, Tim. Even more so than I like putting more vermouth in. I don't care about vermouth. Fuck the vermouth. I'm gonna do the same amount of vermouth and then what do you put in, just like a half ounce of this brine? Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.

Yeah, I'm gonna do it six to one. I'm gonna do six shots of gin and one shot of. Hey, you joke, we did that for the Taylor Swift drink. Oh yeah. It was something crazy like that. Ooh, I'm gonna try this with, I'm gonna try this with Empress because I still have some of that Empress.

Oh, that Empress is so great. I don't mind that, I don't mind. It's expensive, Mike. I know, but it's just I just have the one. OK, I'll drink until it's gone. We're going to come back with our new improved gibsons, and in the meantime, check out the ads. And we're back with round two of the Gibson. I used a proper martini glass this time.

Beautiful. Oh, and looking at that reminds me that the displacement thing that people were mad about on TikTok, it's because the top of the glass of a marketing glass is wider. It's the widest. So even if it looks like it's almost full, they'll be like, look, that's actually six ounces of water because it's the widest.

So it's based on like, there is a little bit of an optical illusion that happens when you fill it up to the top. Sure. But it's the frisbee thing. It's the frisbee thing. It's the same optical illusion that kills a lot of frisbee players. Well, it's, wait, wait, what's the frisbee thing. It's the same optical illusion that kills a lot of frisbee players. Well, it's wait, wait, what is what's the frisbee thing like do a disc?

Yeah, not kills, but like six beers. You can fit six beers in a frisbee and ultimate players will do a disc. Well, this I have done a disc. Couldn't finish it. But this I think with the martini thing, it's like it's just that thing of like what appears to be half a martini is really like a quarter of a martini thing, it's just that thing of what appears to be half a martini is really like a quarter of a martini glass, just because the bottom of a martini is just the point of the cone. Same thing happens when I try to eyeball half of a jigger, the small side.

Oh, right. I try to eye that. It's like, oh no, but it opens up at the top. So it's different. Yep. It sucks. Don't get it. Yeah, there should be a cylinder jigger so that you can do that better.

Oh, fuck. Yeah. I'm sure that. Hey, I'm sure there isn't. I'm sure we should make one, put our name on it. Sloppy Boys Angular Cylinders. Sloppy Boy cocktail set based on what we have dealt with on the pod.

That's good. That's good. We'll innovate our sips. I'm doing my dirty, dirty Gibson. Here we go. Oh, yeah. I already took a sip of mine. Sorry. Oh, zip, zip, zip, zippy, zoop, zoop. That's better. Yeah. Half ounce is that my name is definitely a lot. That's the half ounce really.

Mine's not that crazy. Mine's zipping, but I do like that taste. It's vinegary onion. Ooh, that's fun. This one, I tell you what, I like the Beefeater better. This Empress gin is very kind of not. Botanical. Well, it doesn't really have much of a taste.

It's purple though, you'll agree. Yeah, but it really doesn't have much taste mixed in with the vermouth. There's kind of a dead drink. Do a do a. Emperor's Gin, not great for the Gibson, unless I didn't put enough vermouth, but I believe I did. No, I think I believe I did. All right, I'll go into my final thoughts here. Yeah.

I'm not a martini guy. If I do make a martini, I want that thing dirty. And I want it to cut through a steak that I've already eaten. It's in my stomach, it's whole. It's basically whole. Did you see a shark when you ate that steak? Yeah, I'm on the beach.

Oh shit, so this is a nice day. Tim's cooking the steaks. As Tim's cooked me a steak, I've eaten it. It's in my stomach, basically whole. I see a shark getting ready to take that long trek out the hole. I see a shark. We have a we have a moment of, you know, we sort of like we've we're kindred spirits.

He's also a meat eater, you know He's like I get you I'm like I see you fam and then And then I drink a martini to cut through it. Is it gonna be a Gibson next time? I don't think so, but I do love a nice slow sipper and I even I even made a new distinction for this drink. Oh shit We can agree that it's a slow sipper, right? And you wouldn't drink it all at once. We agree. Yeah, I'm going to say.

It's a sipping thing. It's a terrible thing to chug. Yeah, a sipping thing. It's a terrible thing to chug. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Was that a new piece of music? It would be awful. Yeah, that's an original composition by me. Actually, that's good.

It hit me the other night. I was in I was in a hot tub with my girlfriend, Kelsey, and I we had green tea shots and they were bad. And I was like, that's more of a sipper. And I said, it's a sipping thing. And she said, it's a terrible thing to chug. And I said, I'm gonna steal that for the pod. Okay, but you can't take it to composition.

You can say words by you, but I feel like the melody is inspired by it. By what? Okay, I'm wrong. When you're wrong, you're wrong. Hey, you come at me that hard, I'm wrong. Although you remind me, you're wrong. You come at me that hard, I'm wrong. Although you remind me, I pitched you guys a funny idea for, I had an idea for a drink called Martini Shots, and it's not a small shot version of a martini, it's just a martini

just chugged to the dome in one shot. And you call it a martini shot. Is it a giant shot glass or just? Nope, it's just a martini, it's just a martini shot. The whole thing? Oh. Oh. You know what I was thinking? What did we do? What was the drink we did last week?

The it was the the gimlet. I was thinking, you know, we did the 50 50 gimlet with with what was a gin? What was a gin and lime? The roses. Yeah, I didn't do that one. You did. I think a half and half Jim roses would be gin and roses would be a good shot. A gimlet.

Like lemony shot. It's a shot. Gimlet shot. Yeah, like a lemon drop, but it's lawn. I was at Cap'n Cork and I saw a fancier type of lime cordial. It looked kind of like roses, but it was a different brand and it was $12 instead of $3. So interesting, different cordials out there, folks.

Huh. All right. It's an order again for me. Go ahead, Mike. For me, it's an order again. This will probably be something I, it's nice and classy and it's probably gonna be something if I'm like, I don't exactly want a martini, but I'm in that mood. I will go for this, but it's, it's to take a little bit for me to get to that point.

You know what I mean? This is going to be fun when I go when I go, oh, I remembered Gibson. Yes, I'll try a Gibson. You know, I mean, right. Gibson, the guitar. No, no, the drink, the drink, the drink. Oh, OK. Yes, yes. Tim, your thoughts, please submit them about the Gibson, about. Yes. Yes. Tim, your thoughts, please. Submit them. About the Gibson? About the Gibson.

I like it. For me, it's an order again. And I'll tell you what, I prefer olives and I prefer olive brine. I prefer the martini over the Gibson. But here's what this is to me. It's your second martini of the night. Or if you're me, it's your third martini. A flatbed is just pulled up outside. You gave it a little wink and you're like, not just yet. Yeah, it looks pretty comfy out there. I'll be eating a sandwich and I'll be like, I'm gonna put mustard on the second half. You know what I mean?

Goose it up as you go. And I'll change my dining experience during the course of my meal. You'll add, you'll be biting the sandwich and add mustard to it? I make a sandwich, I cut it in half, I put mustard on one of the halves and that's the one I'm going to eat second. So that I'm eating one that's just like, oh, this one is good, but it has mayo. And then you get to that one and it's like, wow, mustard.

So if you're having a night of martinis. Matt Besser would be proud. That's good heightening, too. You've had a good amount of olives. You've had a good amount of olive brine. And you're looking to round a corner, throw it in. Throw it in. It's not better than the martini,

but it's in the conversation. And what a great conversation has been with you two. Yeah. Yeah, that goes doubly for me. And what a great conversation has been with you two. Yeah. Yeah. That goes doubly for me. And speaking of conversation, we have ignited quite a conversation on X, folks. Let's check it out. Oh, we almost, yeah, last time we had to add it in after.

This is a first where there's a lot of comments and there's, we have ignited a political debate in the replies of our tweet and I'm not going to read them and I'll tell you that people are fighting, but I support the discourse. Really? I gotta check this out. We're using our platform to host a conversation. This is good. This is healthy. Don't think that I'm going to look at this and say, Oh guys, don't get political. Go, we opened the door to it. You guys speak your minds, but as long as people are being safe, as long as people are being respectful, I'm sorry folks. They're not being respectful. We very well then you can't do that.

You can't not be respectful. We devolved into name calling. Oh no. But for the results, America is watching. Everyone's turning to us. Now two weeks ago, Trump had 11%. Then he trended down to 9%. And now today, he's back up to 11%. He has reached...

So hey, Democrats don't get lazy. Shit. Yeah, we're not back at brunch yet folks. Don't go back to brunch. And what what do we think? Do we think it is the second round of shots fired? Maybe reignited Trump's base to keep them in. I know it sounds like it sounds like, yeah, the Mar- Mar-Lago attempt.

Geez, Louise. All right. Mar-Lago. Marco Mar-Lago. I'm glad we're keeping an eye on this stuff because I know somebody should, I know, I know every network out there right now is doing this, but guess what we're doing it too. And we should ask. He'll probably say no, but he should come on. I think that we're doing it best because the slop heads are there in the know they're informed, they they're informed they're articulate

they're calling each other names in the replies look it's not always gonna be pretty that's okay but is it hold on what are they call is it are they being are they being bad here Tim is this bad stuff no no they're they're arguing but it's not like crazy all right well as long as they're being respectful. No, they're going to have to plunk down five. That's what it's going to take. But you got to go to the URL, patreon.com slash the slumpy boys.
