Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys, where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love.
I'm Jeff Dutton, along with Mike Hanford.
I didn't know we were recording yet.
And Tim Kalpakis.
What is up?
And we're your hosts, the boys hello jeff geez you just
started talking i said good god i he's going yeah well top of the morning to you and to you and
yours yes yes happy saint patrick's well hey say it, happy St. Patrick's Day to one and all.
I can't believe that I get to spend my St. Patrick's Day with two Irish lassies.
Well, I'll tell you how Irish my St. Patrick's Day is going.
I'm up at my brother and sister-in-law's house.
We got all quarantined and we're all doing it.
And we had ourselves a little corned beef and cabbage meal
tonight. No. We're doing it up.
We're ready. What'd you put on there, Mike?
I put
mustard. Just
yellow mustard. The yellow stuff.
Frenches. Frenches.
My favorite thing about that meal
is that it's called boiled dinner.
Yeah. And I
think we put it in at 11 today and we ate it
seven. You know what, Mike?
I'll give you a little hot tip.
Save room for a little
potato.
There's potato and carrot
in it as well. Yeah, I mean,
I think potato should be eaten
all throughout the meal, not just saved to the very
end. You want to remember that potato.
Yes, you're going to want to remember the potato.
Look at you guys.
I know.
Sometimes I look at the two of you,
especially on St. Patrick's Day,
and I feel like you would be the perfect stars
of a Boondock Saints reboot.
Oh, us?
A re-boon?
Re-boon-dog.
Boondock Saints, the Reboon.
Oh, have you guys seen that movie, Overnight?
No, I want to.
No, it's the documentary about it, right?
Yeah, we should do a Patreon about it.
Everybody watch Overnight.
It's about the making.
It's the guy that wrote Boondock Saints.
Did it come out in like 2001?
Like, is it old?
Yeah, it came out back then.
Yeah.
And it was kind of just floating around in obscurity.
And I just saw recently Chris Farren, rock and roll star, told me about it.
Love Chris Farren.
And Mitch is a huge fan of it too.
Nice.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I liked it in late high school or college or whenever I saw it.
But then hearing that the guy who made it was this like totally self-defeating hot shot piece of shit uh makes it really funny
the success goes to his head faster than any success has gone to any head and also that's
what like the overnight means like overnight yes he's an overnight success because i mean it's a
pretty crazy crazy story like harvey weinstein like bought the script for a million dollars the guy
was just like a bartender and uh harvey weinstein like bought the script for a million dollars made
the guy rich and then bought the bar and gave it to the guy um so the guy really it just you know
melted his brain and then but the funniest part about and the thing that reason i was just thinking
of it for like saint patrick's day is uh Patrick's Day is he did the soundtrack for the movie himself with his Boston buddies.
And their band was eventually called Boondock Saints.
And it's just –
Oh.
Oh, you got to get into the whole thing.
It's very good.
Very cool.
Yeah, that was a big – when it first – that's a college kid's movie.
He's like, this is like cinema, like, going to the extreme.
Yes, it was a big poster on the dorms of Ithaca.
I remember that.
Oh, for sure.
For sure.
Well, we have a lot to get into today.
You guys want to talk about some booze news?
Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo.
It's a listener submitted theme song.
Hit it.
Oh, this one is from Jeremy Coleross
Oh yeah
It's Booze News baby
Let me talk to you
It's Vermouth Bumf
It's about to get real sloppy in here.
Booze noose.
There's some in my office.
It's booze noose, you greasy little shit.
Damn, damn, damn.
Ooh, Jeremy.
Wow.
Funkified.
That was top notch.
That was from, what's his name?
Jeremy Coleman?
Cole Ross.
You don't know Jeremy Cole Ross?
Do you think that's, do you think J. Cole, the rapper, that's him?
And that's his like fake name?
That's my assumption.
His pen name?
Look, that's the simplest explanation.
That's the Occam's razor.
Sure.
Applied to Booze News.
Wow, geez.
Hey, I like how, you know, you think of Booze News and you think of pitched up vocals, or I know I do.
And what this guy did is he had a big low voice in there.
J. Cole went the other way with it.
Well, he works probably with big time producers, J. Cole.
So, yeah.
Yeah, they got the knobs that go both up and down if you want to pitch the voices.
Guys, we have huge news today mgd
has a whole new look oh no no no no no no yes we talk about it often on this show we say that
miller genuine draft is the official label to be found in the woods in the way it's a good find in
the woods beer bottle.
The old black label, yeah,
is something you find on bundles of sticks
or down on the sidewalk.
But now, here I shared the picture with you guys.
You see in this new look?
Yes.
It is a black can.
Ooh.
They've emphasized the eagle and the big red dot,
and they've emphasized genuine.
And then all the articles
this was sent to us by multiple slob heads thanks everyone for sending it um it's nice to have you
on the beat and um so mgd it's we found out it's not the flagship right so miller high life that's
the big main miller beer the time honored miller beer and then in the 80s they came out with
mgd where it's like the bottles are not heated after being bottled so it's more like a draft
brew or something okay in in 80s and then it was a huge success and it was the hit in the early 90s
and then it has just been crapping out for like 30 years and nobody except for podcasters
talking about it all podcasters not just this podcast oh yeah you know what's funny is i thought
they were going to get away from like the black label because that's what maybe made it feel uh
old hat yeah and what they've doubled down on it they got a they got themselves a black can
and i gotta say the thing that i think when i look at this is japan oh right it's got the big
red dot in the middle because they really emphasize this giant red dot in the middle of it and you
know if you look at the old can it's not like oh the beloved miller red dot like what a bizarre
thing to carry over like we're really gonna double down this red dot do you think that red dot is at
all related to the seven up dot interesting interesting same dna i just love how they didn't change the beer at all
and sales have been bad and they had to revamp so they hired a design firm to redesign this can and
i love all these articles in ad age and everywhere are talking about the bold new look emphasizing
the genuineness and the headline is it's a they've got a new
nothing to hide brand refresh what a dumb world the whole world is so dumb oh yeah that that eagle
is 10 times the size now this feels like an ed hardy uh remake yeah because like a special
edition ed hardy when when the logo is like spilling out onto the can it does look like
an ed hardy shirt with a huge graphic well the eagle wings to kind of feel bikery throwback you
like that uh-huh sure we'll we'll share this picture and listeners you uh google it but it
it reminds me it's kind of punk rock in the way remember when the in la the tam o'shanter bar
updated their sign to be the lightning bolt uh-huh oh yeah it's like a harry potter-ish like yeah where it's still it's still like british but it's
it's got a edge to it this can to me is like the can looked like it was from 1992 and now they've
updated it to like 2009 but there's some really uh funny not funny, maybe kind of sad pictures of logo refreshes throughout the years.
The big move is to get rid of serifs in your text.
So, you know, like, you know, like the old Wendy's, like Western sort of style logo.
Now it's just like a blobby cursive Wendy's.
Yeah.
And so serif means what?
That old timey font?
Like the wingtips on letters, like Times New Roman Roman has serifs for Dana does not, for example.
Okay. Um, and it's like, uh, Jeff and you were telling me you weren't having problems getting
laid or were, he was definitely screaming and crying about one or the other. Don't remember
what it was. Yeah. I couldn't remember. Well, whatever you just said really sends me in one way or the other.
Okay, what else from Booze News?
Michael?
I got a little update here, okay?
This is brought to me by Kevin Clark, big time slop head.
Sent me, he DM'd me
it was exciting, very exciting breaking news
so this is a story
that is coming back from the dead
we all remember I was on the Pepsi
seltzer, booze
seltzer beat for a while
that fell apart, I didn't want
to do it anymore, it felt like
Pepsi wasn't going to do anything and I wasn't going to look into
it anymore. And it was a wasn't going to do anything, and I wasn't going to look into it anymore.
And it was a train wreck.
The trail went cold, yeah.
The trail went cold.
My interest went cold.
But Kevin Clark has lit a fire under my ass. He sent me an article.
Pepsi has released a line of cocktail mixers.
Oh!
Okay?
Not Spike Seltzer, necessarily.
They have four drinks, which fall under the new Neon Zebra brand.
And they were made to appeal to 21 to 34 year olds.
At home drinking has risen during the pandemic. That's just a little bit younger than us.
That's right.
Neon Zebra.
That is so funny to be like, you know, young, Gen Z colorful, neon zebra.
Zebra.
They put it into like a title generator.
They started working on this drink two years ago.
It's finally coming out.
And they want to do something.
You know when you get those big jug mixer things
of like margarita mix or something?
Uh-huh.
It drinks of it and stays on your shelf for a year.
Well, they wanted to
shrink it down.
The flavors are
margarita,
strawberry daiquiri,
mojito,
and whiskey sour.
Oh.
It's one 7.5 ounce can
is supposed to make
two cocktails
with three ounces
of spirits
added to each.
Okay.
That's cool.
I like this.
I mean, it's cool,
but I also think
I knew Pepsi didn't have the balls
to make something with alcohol in it they're too big a brand they're too safe right it's a mixer
it's it's uh it's the best they could do i guess it's so funny that you knew they were working on
it so it is like they there was a team of people that spent like a year on this and then like their
knees were knocking and they were nervous and they they're like, and Pepsi said like,
yeah,
there's a seltzer spike seltzer trend,
but it's going away.
The next thing is going to,
we're going to be on the forefront of this next thing.
And maybe they will be,
who knows?
Um,
wait,
I thought the,
I thought the,
um,
the trail went cold when we thought Topo Chico was going to come out with
one.
And they're like technically a Pepsi brand,
right?
Is that still happening?
They're a Coca-Cola brand. Oh, fuck. Yeah. So they're and they're like technically a pepsi brand right is that still happening they're a coca-cola brand oh fuck yeah so they're they're doing that and then i the last
my last uh report i think was that pepsi said no we're not going to do one oh right i remember no
we just can't we can't figure i'll say this about neon zebra i bet you it's going to be a zebra with
different color stripes instead of just black.
And if I was fruit stripe gum, I would say you're about to get your ass landed in court, buddy.
Lawyer up, asshole. I got to start chewing some of that stuff again. That stuff was great.
That stuff was weird. The one in the purple pack was good. The one in the green pack was
odd. It just, the flavor went dead within two chews well that's gone get one
good bite two chews you lose that's just gone uh michael you just reminded me i almost blanked on
some huge news booze news sent to us by selena our old friend from the sloppy boys zoom room you may
remember oh yes um bud light seltzer they're done with the ugly sweater pack and now coming for the spring they have oh shit bud light
seltzer out of office pack limited edition it's like a vacation tropical theme all right and it
is bud light seltzer uh flavors here are the flavors classic lime margarita. Great. Strawberry daiquiri. Fine. Mango Mai Tai, of course.
Trash.
And watermelon mojito.
Ooh, I like watermelon.
These are on the shelves now?
They're in select places right now everywhere soon.
Holy shit.
Well, Slopheads, get ready for that episode.
Yeah.
Hey, we got to find it because like, you know, we got a
good jump on the ugly
sweater pack. We were a little ahead of the game. We
got to be just, we got to keep the fire under
our asses. Don't get complacent. I mean, that's
what Boo's News is good. It's getting us into it.
We'll get this neon zebra shit too.
This is awesome. Oh my
God. I feel like just
inspired and like just ready to hit
the ground running with all this stuff like
i finally got my life in order great and that wraps up yeah let's get into the drink what
do you say what do you say wrap up booze news okay into the drink today happy saint patrick's
day to all because we are drinking the irish car bomb whoa oh this is a shot glass of bailey's irish cream and jameson irish whiskey
dropped in to a guinness pint and you have to drink it fast before the liquid curdles
have you guys had it oh yeah man yeah, man. We did it.
We were on an Irish car bomb craze at one point.
Aye, Timmy.
Scrooge McDuck.
You know I've had these.
Have we had them together?
Maybe.
Yeah.
Oh, of course we have.
We were on it.
Remember we had a friend who brought them into our world,
and she kept buying them.
Like, when we would go out, she'd be car bombs and we're like okay oh jesus um
you know what's funny is that i pretty embarrassingly late learned about the curdling
um because i remember probably during that phase one of you guys handing me one and i was like you
know i actually like the taste of these and i'm not going to chug it. And I just held it in my hand and it turned to cottage cheese.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Hey, quick question before we get too much deeper.
Is the shot 50-50 on the Baileys and Jameson?
Well, Jefferson, yes.
And you pour it slowly so you can see it separate.
Stack. Some people layer it, put a little spoon there so you can see it uh uh separates stack some people layer it put a little spoon
there so they can layer it because the guy that invented it said he gets a little kick out of the
idea that it looks like you're dropping a little pint of guinness into a bigger pint of guinness
okay i like that that's funny also do you need a full pint do you have to turn this into like
because i mean it p's a lot to chug
if you're going to go that route.
Oh yeah.
No, it shouldn't be.
It should be half, half to three quarters,
but like-
Enough to submerge the shot glass.
Yeah.
If you buy a Guinness,
I mean, at a bar, if you order it this way,
they'll just fill it halfway for you.
But I've got like tall boy cans.
I'm just going to pour half into my pint glass.
I've got one of those british pint glasses you know
the one that halfway up it has a ridge and then it gets wider so it's a 20 oh yeah yeah yeah do i
ever that way i won't get splashed quite as much as you guys right i'm gonna be drenched because
it's gonna get wet and wild yeah i'm getting my uh my uh rain gear i guess is the word for it
yeah no other way to say my sloppy stuff sorry folks
um hey put on the sloppy stuff we're doing american pint glass bombs yeah you at home
are in the splash zone like shamu put on those parkas now my my my dear boy i have a question
where does the irish car bomb name come from?
Okay.
I was praying that you would ask that because it's a big bummer.
It's a problematic name that people don't really even say anymore.
It's being phased out.
It's an intense name.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
It's just the Irish.
Was it like the IRA literally bombing?
It is. just it's just the irish was it like the ira uh literally bombing it is it's it's like you know
the troubles in northern ireland the conflict between protestants and catholics and and like
there really were car bombs in belfast and lots of people really did die so this drink is whimsically
named after that almost as if you called a drink the 9-11. Right, right. So, sorry for saying it, folks.
You can say Irish slammer, I guess, or Guinness bomb,
but I don't think Guinness bomb is any better.
Just broadening it out.
Guinness bomb, I get, because you're like dropping a little,
like the bombing is the putting the shot is bombing it.
And there are other bombs, right?
Because there's-
Jaeger bomb?
Jaeger bomb, which is Jaeger dropped into Red Bull.
Socky Bomb.
Socky Bomb.
Socky Bomb is like a precursor to the Irish Car Bomb.
And then the granddaddy of them all, the Boilermaker.
Oh, honestly, haven't had Boilermaker.
The Boilermaker isn't like you drop it in and then drink it as fast as you can, right?
Oh, you had to point that out, didn't you, Mike?
No.
Yeah, I think any beer with any whiskey in it is a Boilermaker.
You could have them one at a time.
You could drop it in, but most people just mix it together.
But you want to hear about the backstory on this particular bomb beverage?
Yes, sure.
It is a fully American creation.
It is a fully American creation invented in the 70s at Billy Wilson's pub in Norwich, Connecticut, by a bartender owner named Charles Oat.
Cool.
Good.
Basically, in the 70s, Bailey's had just come out. I thought Bailey's was like a time-honored old thing, but that's not true.
They tricked you.
It looks like they cooked it up.
I'm honored old thing, but that's not true.
They tricked you.
It looks like they cooked it up. And in fact, they like the signature on the bottle.
It says like something Bailey like has signed it.
And that's just fully bullshit.
There is no Bailey.
Nobody signed my bottle.
There are people named Bailey in the world.
I know that for sure.
I just got to be.
No.
Who?
But so that was like a popular thing in the 70s. And they were trying to find out, you know, new ways to use it.
It got really big in America.
And at this bar in Connecticut for St.
Patrick's Day, 1977, Charles Oat invented a shot called the grandfather, which was Bailey's and Kahlua in a little shot glass.
And it looked like a little Irish coffee.
And it's a shot.
You drink it when you're toasting
to your grandfather.
That's what it was called.
So it was St. Patrick's Day
and people would all gather around
and toast to their grandfathers.
But the thing was that
both of those liquors are pretty gentle
so it wasn't getting them drunk.
So he said, let's add Jameson to it.
And then that, the three of those all together in
a shot glass was called the ira so so the names are starting to get a little problematic at this
point and then that was the hit of that saint patrick's day at that bar in connecticut everyone
said oh we love the ra we're throwing these things back and it's it was a popular thing at the bar
for a couple years and then later down the line the bartender was having one of his famous IRAs at the same time as a Guinness.
And he said, how about I drop it in?
Imagine St. Patrick's Day, 1977.
You're having a blast with the newest, best drink on the block.
And you don't even know that Star Wars is coming this summer.
You don't even know that punk rock is about to break big across the pond.
Maybe you do already know that.
Well, without further ado, shall we?
Let's do it.
So the, what do you call it?
The ratios here.
In your little shot glass, you have a half ounce of Irish whiskey and a half ounce of Bailey's Irish cream.
And then you've got your one Guinness beer.
And then the method is add the Bailey's and whiskey into a shot glass.
Pouring slowly is to create a layered effect.
Drop the shot into the pint glass filled half to three quarters of the way with Guinness.
Drink immediately.
Okay.
You've only got like five seconds and you can still drink it when it's curdled. It's not like
it's unhealthy or anything. It's just chunky.
Doesn't taste as good. Yeah. It's a weird texture for all the texture fiends out there.
And for the curdling.
And for the curdling.
The Jameson doesn't curdle it.
The beer does?
It's the acid in the stout
is reacting with the milk in the liqueur.
So yeah, it's weird the Jameson doesn't do it.
So that'll be good for the pod.
So we can go ready our stuff,
come back and do it live.
Do it live.
You'll hear the clinks and the slurp downs.
Yeah, and so that way we don't have to worry about the shot curdling on us.
Great. You think Bill O'Reilly is
Irish? Do you think we'll do it live?
What are you talking about?
That's crazy. Do your shots live!
It can't be that. It's crazy.
No, it can't. That cannot be that. That's nuts.
Alright, let's do it.
Let's do it. Let's do it.
Folks, we'll be right back.
All right. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Folks, we'll be right back.
Hey, folks, we want to slow down for a second and talk about a podcast we love called You Are Worthy with Lil Mookie B.
It's a podcast about empathy, therapy, positivity and love, among others. Comedian, actor, and social media influencer Michael Mookie Blanklock, aka Lil Mookie B, began attending therapy just a few months ago. And instead of keeping the gifts of
therapy to himself, he has decided to spread the love and positivity throughout the world by
sharing the message of therapy and making sure that people understand that they desperately
need therapy too, so that they can be just like him and have empathy just like he does.
Wow. What a mission he's on. Each episode, Mookie welcomes your favorite comedians and
improvisers other than himself, of course, upon the podcast. As if that wasn't enough,
he will share with you what he's learned in therapy that week, lead you through guided
meditations and affirmations to help you through your boring everyday life and answer life advice
questions from listeners whose lives are falling apart. It's a great podcast. What can I say? We
love Mookie. He's helping people. He's doing the work. You have to check it out. Listen everywhere
podcasts are listened to and remember that you are worthy with Lil Mookie B.
And we're back.
Hey.
Hey, we are back live.
I am here.
Guys, you guys, you got your drinks with you.
I got a room with six people
right now.
Hey, Lindsey, how's it going? Good to see you.
Hello. Happy St. Patrick's Day.
You too. Thanks for having us on your show.
The whole party gang has
congregated.
I got my brother, my brother Kyle,
sister-in-law Lindsey, our buddy Chris,
niece Tig, and Ryan Hanford.
Okay, now niece Tig is not having an Irish carb on, is she?
And Will!
Hey, Will!
All right.
We got some nephews and nieces and family here.
When the nephews have arrived, it's time to party.
And Tig's having milk. Tig's going to have milk.
Ready to drop.
Okay, so do we splash it right down the middle,
or do you kind of slide it down the side of the cup, you think?
I'm going to rest it right on the top of the foam and then drop gently.
Ready?
Yes.
Three, two, one.
Bombs away! There we go!
Yep. Yep.
Oh, yep.
Oh.
Woo.
Oh, ew is right, Tig.
What are the nieces and nephews thinking of it over there?
There was a lot of, what are you doing?
And ew.
Nobody explained what is happening. That tumbled right down the throat. That wasn't
too hard at all. It was nice and smooth. I did get a little bit of an insta-curdle.
After you chug it, you got to pull out a little spoon to finish off the curdle.
Yeah, I think you only have five seconds to get going before the curdle-age.
Oh, I had a nanosecond. I was looking at curdle as it was going down in my throat.
Wait a minute. We did have another drink.
Tig, what did you think of the milk you had?
I did not finish it.
She couldn't finish it.
But did you like the taste?
Milk is all the same.
It was an Irish cow though.
There you go. It was an Irish cow.
It was a green green spot hey we're
doing milk bombs here it's funny this is the first time we haven't been able to like sit with a drink
and see how we feel about it it's just sort of like there it was how did it taste that was it
yeah i loved it it really did uh i didn't do it in one gulp i i think a real pro you're supposed
to just relax your throat like when you're doing a funnel or a beer bong
um i i had a couple uh gulps in the middle but it wasn't like that it wasn't exploding it wasn't so
frothy that i'm full of carbon dioxide it um because i mean it's probably been five years
since i had one and i i was pleasantly surprised with how smooth. Very smooth. The taste is great.
It really is like milkshake-y.
Very milkshake-y.
Unlike a, you know, like a Jager Bomb,
those I have to choke down.
Whereas these are delish.
Well, Jager Bomb is a weird,
I mean, there's no reason to be having Red Bull,
especially if you're out at a bar.
I understand pre-gaming with Red Bull,
but having Red Bull,
like especially end of the night shots doing a Jager bomb,
it's really just, that's a full novelty.
That's a silly thing to do.
It tasted good.
The fam loved it.
I think my brothers have another one out there.
It would be very funny if that became like just a normal drink.
Yeah.
And now I'm finished the rest of my Guinness.
Me too.
And then I could be due for another Carbond, baby.
Jefferson!
I would do another Bomski.
Yeah, that was their fun.
It's a fun event fun it's a fun event
it's a fun event and also like the taste combination uh because bailey's i don't know
if you stole a little sip on its own but it's too sweet and deserty so dropping it into this
it actually does make the whole thing better well it's funny too uh it's the type of drink where you've got them and it's got to all
happen at one time and i felt this with just now with these guys here and you guys and being like
no hold on not yet but are we going no no no hold on hold on yep is everyone ready i must party
appropriately and in the perfect fashion it's real fun i remember being out maybe i flapped about this on the pod once but um
oh yeah one of the first times i ever like spent a lot of money on dinner and then i was like oh
my god i gotta pay a big bill it was because i was at largo with uh some guys like some a friend
and mutual uh friends that he brought oh you've talked about this. Yeah, but like that night, I told
it because the bill came and it was
$56 and I was like,
$56.
But what was weird about that night
was the drink, like to out us
for being 22, the
drink that we kept ordering that night
while we had dinner at Largo was
Irish Carbons.
And that in retrospect is so ridiculous
to think that other people at that place
were looking at us being like,
yes, another round and we're having these.
A round of a trick drink.
Oh, okay.
The only more boisterous version is the sake bomb
where you balance the shot on chopsticks
and then slam the table so that the shot glass tumbles.
What if you're at like a solid oak table that just won't budge?
You got to slam hard, as hard as you can.
There's one bomb drink that's maybe like, it's called like the diffuser or something,
where the shot glass is upside down at the bottom of the pint glass.
Awesome. That sounds cool.
But then you pull the bottom of the shot glass up
like you're pulling the pin on a grenade.
Oh.
We got to do that one.
That sounds cool.
Yeah, let's do all the tricks.
Let's do like trick month and just do a bunch of tricks.
And also if we wanted to like bring our skateboards and bikes,
we could do tricks too.
Like an and one video?
Yeah, and if some of us have just got
like a magic book for
Christmas and they're finally getting good
at it, like how to do card tricks,
maybe we should bring that guy.
I just watched In and of Itself and I've been
doing those type of tricks.
Oh yes, me too, me too. Wait, what's
In and of Itself? That's the first,
I do know a few card tricks. In and of Itself? That's the first, I do know a few card tricks.
In and of Itself is the first card trick I ever learned.
Oh my God.
The first card trick you ever learned
was a hour long one man show.
That is crazy.
Jeff, In and of Itself is a,
and for other people who don't know,
is this one man show of this guy does some tricks
and it's more than that, but it's very cool to watch.
Okay, cool.
You've mentioned it.
Unless you're me and you hated it, but...
Tim hated it?
Wow, I thought it was cool.
Of course I hated it.
Oh, you're not cool, man.
I was distracted.
There's a lot of celebrities in the audience,
and that bothered me.
I'm anti-celeb.
See, I love seeing the celebs.
I love it.
It's great.
I hope you had your autograph book
while you were watching that one. Yeah, I kept throwing it at the TV. If trick, I hope you had your autograph book while you're watching that.
Yeah.
I kept throwing it at the TV.
If trick month goes half as well as vermouth month,
it's going to be a huge success.
Vermouth month made the,
made the drop today,
but I don't know if it's going to go any better.
Hey,
speaking of tricks,
have you guys seen,
um,
are you familiar with cardistry?
Cardistry?
No.
Is this, is this like, they're kind of like skateboard videos,? Cardistry? No.
Is this like, they're kind of like skateboard videos, but with cards?
Yes.
Yes.
This is dorky.
I mean, it's dorky, but I've watched this thing like 20 times.
There's a video on YouTube.
I'm going to put a link in the description for a crew called Fontaine Fam. And they are like a jackass crew that does cardistry,
which I looked up.
What is cardistry?
It's the non-magical manipulation of playing cards.
Oh, like throwing them around and stuff?
It's just them doing like sleight of hand and crazy tricks.
Like the big fans and things?
Yeah.
And it's funny to see, when it when it's a couple
years old now but when it was first shown to me i was like how is this a subculture that's come
this far without me even like knowing about it this is a thing and there are crews and there's
a video and these guys are probably getting laid off this stuff. It's just so insane. It's so sad that those kids are non-magical.
Well, hold on.
I'm sorry, guys.
I hate to break this up.
We got a brother.
We got another car bomb.
Kyle wants to see how it goes a second time.
I'll get in on that.
Yeah, baby.
Oh, Jeff's getting in on it, too.
Yeah, yeah.
Jeff, you're with me?
Me, too.
I'll get one, too.
Hold on.
Oh, my pint glass
is all fucked up all right two seconds two seconds did you guys get your your like shots to separate
yeah mine separated weird in the shot glass but it wasn't gross so i was rolling with it yeah it's
not as cool as i want it to be oh yeah i wanted it to separate guinness this part to separate
yeah it's by the way i went to go go reuse my pint glass and shot glass from before,
and it just had like specks of cottage cheese all over it.
I never would say that.
I know.
For all you fathers out there, it kind of looks like spit up.
You mean priests?
Oh, and here's one of my kids who spit up on me like this when she was a child.
Was she drinking a lot of car bombs at the time?
Okay, we ready?
Yeah, here we go. Ready? Okay, here we go.
A three and a two and a
one.
Why are you
putting the cup in there?
Well, it's what St. Patrick used
to drink when he would kill the snakes.
Ugh.
I gotta say, that drink
just cleared all the snakes out of my home.
Bye, gang!
Bye. If I see any more car bombs,
I'll let you know. Come on.
See ya!
Delicious, once again. Love it.
A fantastic drink.
A fantastic drink.
Maybe six stars out of five stars.
Too fun. Too fun.
It tastes, um... I mean, there's no Kahlua.
They used to have Kahlua in these, but kind of has, almost has like, it's like drinking a delicious iced coffee.
Yeah, for sure.
Now, I went to the store to get my Baileys.
I didn't have any Baileys.
Hell yeah.
And I was like, they have this little ass bottle.
I wanted to get like a bigger one if they had one.
The only other thing they had was Bailey's Minis,
which I think you got.
Now, is that enough?
Did you just do two
carbons with one mini or how does that math
work out? You only need 15
milliliters for this drink
and a mini is 100
milliliters. Jesus Christmas.
I also have finished the
rest of the mini just for
kicks and I'm sipping on a, the Guinness. I got what they call the Bailey's big boy. It's a gallon.
No, I just got a regular Bailey's. How do you feel about yourself? Um, liking this? We all,
we all drank it. We all said it was delicious. We are guys who only about
a week ago were taking a craft
cocktail class and
thinking that we were going to get
smart and learn more about
We came on this podcast and
said we were mix
masters now. And I'm already
embarrassed. If Jack Schramm
over at Gush found out that we love Irish
car bombs, I'd be humiliated.
He could be listening.
And he seems like he'd like them too, though.
He has fun with the drinks.
That's true.
He's a fun guy.
It's funny knowing that people like Jack and Giuseppe Gonzalez might listen.
They got serious cred in the cocktail world.
Well, I hope they're listening.
They're saying, you know what?
Yes, it's fun.
Drinking is fun.
These stupid boys are having fun.
I bet you it's like, you know,
if somebody likes shitty music or comedy
and we're like, yeah, you know,
that's fine if you're into that sort of thing.
Yeah.
That is absolutely true.
And yeah, every time you talk to anybody back home
and they tell you what TV shows they like and you're like, what the fuck?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
You got a few screws loose.
Hey, I wanted to talk St. Patrick's Day memories.
Okay, great.
Because we had, I feel like together, when we were living together, at the bottom of our hill, there was not one but two Irish pubs.
We had Maeve's Residuals.
Yes.
Named such because if you're an actor and you bring in a residual check that's under a dollar, I think you get a free drink or something like that.
Yep.
That's correct.
And right next door, the Fox and the Hound.
These are valley bars when we lived in the hills on the backside.
These are on Ventura Boulevard in Universal City.
Ventura.
If you have hit the marshals, you've gone too far.
We had a good, I feel like all, like seven years living there,
at least a few of those years,
we went down there and pinged back and forth between,
it would be an all dayday drinking thing and i remember
specifically i don't know what we were up to but mike do you remember one year we got there really
late yep yeah i remember this i know this is yeah i think that everybody else had had a fun day of
drinking and that mave's residuals had they were giving out free corned beef and cabbage
and free-
All day.
It had been out all day.
All day.
And like stew, right?
Like beef stew.
Uh-huh.
And we joined in late
and we went to the back corner
because that's a place that always had free popcorn
and stuff and we'd be like,
yeah, we're going to go load up.
I think you and I, Tim,
were doing a charity work of some sort.
We were-
That's true.
I feel like the children at the orphanage had the day of their lives.
Yes, we were so fun and funny for them.
We got that big bounce house.
But yes, we got there to residuals late.
And then we said, hey, look at this, all this free food.
And this is midnight.
And the food had been out since 9 a.m.
And not only did we eat it, but the bar was like uh it was like really packed
and stuff and we were like hey let's go home let's walk up the hill and i remember we took
pint glasses yeah and we filled the pint glasses up with yeah with food and ate it while we walked
i remember walking up there and being like whoa what's that you got there? And then seeing you guys pick pieces of corned beef hash out of a pint
glass and eat it while I walk
home.
That may have been a night we
both did a few technicolored yawns.
That can't have been good for us.
No, it for real was
well, because I mean, we had
forks and pint glasses and we were walking up the hill
being like, we're geniuses, dude.
This is so
we got old food free this is a once a year grift but then we did separately you you lived upstairs
uh and i lived downstairs but we reconvened in the morning yeah and um let's just say that uh
you would not have wanted to be inside our septic tank on that day.
On that fateful night.
Not that day.
Not that day.
Not that day.
Every other day, fantastic.
But you would have had a really bad vantage point.
No, we both got food poisoning.
We ate pints of meat.
Yeah.
And we both instantly got food poisoning and we were sick for the whole next day.
That was only the second time I got food poisoning.
No, we got it together a different time.
Also, first red flag is when you say pints of meat because that's not a measurement of meat.
A pint of corned beef, a pint.
But also there was some potatoes and old carrots in there as well.
A pint of corned beef, a pint.
But also there were some potatoes and old carrots in there as well.
There was a controversial time where earlier when we were interning and we were living at the Oakwood Apartments.
Oh, yeah.
You had Chipotle for lunch.
And then for dinner, you made yourself a raw steak, barely cooked.
Yes, yes.
Then you got food poisoning.
And the whole next day, you were like, oh, it's that Chipotle.
What are they doing down in Chipotle? They're killing me. God.
For some reason, I felt like Chipotle was like new-ish at the time and I felt like I had ownership of it.
I needed to defend their honor.
No, they know how to cook their meat.
No, they don't, Tim. It wasn't that gray steak.
I got it from, I got that gray steak from, it was gray when I got Tim. It wasn't that gray steak I ate. I got that gray steak from
it was gray when I got it. It was like
an old steak. It was a manager's
special. It had the stickers on it like
must go now. And before
it was put on the grill, it was gray.
And on the label from the deli, it said old steak.
Old steak, prepare gray.
Isn't a steak
like a wine where you want it to age a little bit?
Yeah, yeah. Aged beef. Tim, you saved my ass from gray isn't a steak like a wine where you want it to age a little bit like yeah yeah aged beef uh
tim you saved my ass from uh food poisoning one time that much later though remember that oh yeah
i brought you to the hospital what where what was the deal i was just shooting liquid out of both
ends and i couldn't keep anything down what did you eat that day? Honestly, I don't want to talk. I don't want to speak ill,
but I think it was
oysters from a beloved
restaurant in Los
Feliz. You know what?
I know that restaurant and I love
it with all my heart, but I've heard that before
because it's dollar oysters. What do you expect?
I think Fran had the same problem. And oysters
I think in general.
That's true. You could be at the freshest oyster place
and like one out of like three dozen is rank.
Sure.
And I've had oysters there 20 times.
So one bout of fruit poisoning is fine.
Yeah, that's not bad.
But Jeff, I do remember you texted me
and you're like, oh, I'm all fucked up.
And then I came and I saw it.
You know when it's like,
you don't want to register on your face
when somebody really looks like shit because you don't want to freak them out.
But I remember walking into your apartment and you were gray.
Not unlike the meats that could put you there.
And like, I was so sick all day.
And then when you came to help me, you know, you took me to the ER and whatever.
And you were like figuring shit out on your phone because like i was just so out of sorts that i
couldn't do anything and i remember i remember going to the hospital i was like man jess is
jessica's got it pretty good with i was like tim is a capable guy it was a good like dry run for
an emergency though because i was thinking i actually didn't i'm i'm stupid and i think a lot of people might
be stupid and you don't really think about what is the closest closest uh emergency room from your
house and it hadn't really come up i've gone i've brought people to the hospital but like like one
time i brought somebody to the emergency room and i brought them to uh kaiser permanente and it was
all confusing because they don't accept insurance and stuff.
So I wanted to bring you to a place that would
like accept you and then...
A place where I could be accepted.
Yeah, a place. You were sort of
like an ugly duckling and I brought you to a place
where you were a swamp.
Jeff, you had it coming out of both
ends. Have you, the thing
Tim is talking about when I ate the
manager's special meat i was
doing both ends at the same time like sitting down on the toilet and puking into a garbage
can like that toilet and bucket simultaneously you feel like you're uh an alien you kind of
laugh at yourself a little bit because it's a little too much it's a little bit out of body
to be like wow this body's got it rough.
I did the old, uh, between the legs while you're sitting in there.
Oh no, Timmy. That's nasty. Wait, Tim. So you had food poisoning though,
like before I did, right? That same semester.
It was from another place I love with all my heart, Paquito Moss.
But it'll happen. And I, and I was right back there later that week.
And hey, apologies to the listeners who just had a bunch of
curdling milk and are now hearing about Fruit Poison.
Oh yeah, come on.
This is disgusting stuff.
Let's get back on the St. Patrick's Day wagon.
Just going back to old St. Patrick's Days.
You probably guys
don't remember this. Do you remember
last year when we celebrated St. Patrick's Day remember this do you remember last year when we celebrated
St. Patrick's Day together do you remember last year no I don't you may have well you're probably
being kind because I messed up on St. Patrick's Day real just bad real bad how so do you remember
you don't remember this this is starting to ring a bell i was well here's what happened i i basically focused
on the on the wrong country okay you know what i mean i was not okay oh because i i mean the same
saint patrick's day you got to be thinking ireland you know exactly and my my mind was elsewhere
and then i and it was a bummer and I ended up making a little voice
memo of that day Jeff you want to play that
oh yeah I've got it right here actually
yeah
it's St. Patrick's
Day and I got the
keg my friends all left
me cause I got the wrong keg.
I do remember this now that you mention it.
Do you remember this?
I'm sipping
on a Foster's.
It's Australian
for Foster's.
I'm sipping on
a Foster's.
I'm all alone on the Fosters I'm all alone
On St. Patrick's Day
It's hard and foul
Really against the spirit of the whole thing
Oh man
I don't think I can finish this whole gig without chundering
Without chundering. Without chundering?
Oh, I also made shamrock-shaped cookies.
Oh, Michael.
Yeah, you remember that?
I mean, yes, you remember that.
That was awful.
I got a full keg of Foster's Australian beer on St. Patrick's Day.
That was firmly flop era behavior.
That sucked. That was a flop era behavior. That sucked.
That was a bummer.
But I'm glad you guys got past it.
Yeah, I mean, hey, what can you do?
You trudge on in life and you move forward.
That's right.
I remember you came to us hat in hand.
Yeah.
And we said, hey.
Oh, yeah.
We said, hey, forgive and forget.
That's probably why I couldn't remember
when you were first talking about it.
Yeah, that's true. Well, I think we should take a break and maybe do another i'm down
oh you you fuck you animal look at you why not all right great folks we'll be right back
And we're back in.
All right, we're back in.
We're in, we're in.
Car bomb number three.
Okay.
Listen to this.
During the break, I texted my friend who's in the Navy,
and he had been at that base in Norwich, Connecticut, right by this bar.
So I texted him.
I said, hey, you ever go to Billy Wilson's bar?
They invented the Irish car bomb.
And he said, I never made it out there.
I did hear about it.
I hear it's pretty great.
Wow.
So there you have it, folks.
From my friend Jack Ruddock.
Get out to Billy Wilson's.
So I did something a little different on this one. I'm doing Guinness and I'm just dropping the
Jameson in it. I want to try that. I was going to say,
has anybody been able to do the thing
where it looks like a little Guinness?
I haven't been able to get the separation.
I haven't been able to count. You know what?
I think that the guy was still
putting Kahlua in them.
Okay, maybe that's it. And that floated
down to the bottom. Well, anyway, bottoms up. Ready?
Here we go.
Three, two, one.
Let's tell that.
Oh, baby.
I mean, you do get some flakes on the way down right
am I the only one
I'm not getting flakes
you're saying yours is smooth as silk
I can't believe it's not more
filling that's a lot of beer we've just chugged
and it still is going down
just the right way
yes yes
it's going down easy and
it's going down I hope it stays down easy.
I got to say that Jameson, just the Jameson one was pretty good.
Did you miss that creamy sweetness?
Yeah, it didn't have like, it didn't, you know when you take like a shot of Jameson, it's a little harsh.
This just kind of mellows out the Jameson and boy, you're having fun.
And the pressure's not on to beat the curdle.
Mike, you can't handle the pressure.
Me, I live for that.
That's why I'm on Earth, is to have everybody looking at me saying,
is he going to curdle or will he come through?
I drink too many high-pressure drinks.
This is a nice, relaxing one.
Hey, they say Guinness is one of the healthiest beers
you can drink.
I've heard that.
Right.
The least calories or something.
Like you think it's a-
That's the crazy thing.
Because it's a stout, I guess,
and it's dark,
so you think like,
oh, it must be heavy,
but it's not.
It's very light.
Very light.
It's 125,
so a Miller Lite,
which, hey, we love it,
but let's admit it has no taste.
That's 96 calories.
And then a Guinness, a full we love it, but let's admit it has no taste. That's 96 calories. And then a Guinness, a full-bodied meal, is only 125.
Huh.
I would be curious how it tastes to do a car bomb shot into a Miller Lite or something easy.
Or something light.
Michael, sounds like you're going to be doing a little bit of investigative news.
Maybe I'll do a little, maybe I'll do my own, a field piece.
Kyle here is saying that it's, he's thinking that maybe it's too much carbonation.
It would kind of screw it up.
Kyle, thank God you were here.
Right, because Guinness is a very, it's got, it's not very carbonated.
It's got little bubbles and there's not a lot of them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tiny bubbles.
And I'm surprised we haven't spent more time in Mike Hanford's test kitchen, by the way.
The very kitchen where-
Test kitchen?
Oh, oh, oh.
The Russian root was invented there.
Yeah, I thought this whole podcast-
You want me to come up with drinks, man.
I'll come up with drinks all day long, and you're not going to like them.
We should do a Patreon called Mike Hanford's Test Kitchen,
where you put all your hair-brained, half-baked ideas on us.
Hair-brained, half-baked.
These are good drinks.
And hey, maybe one of them makes it to the main pod.
That'd be cool.
Or maybe it makes it onto the IBA.
Oh, my God.
That'd be the brass ring.
That'd be huge.
Hey, Mike, I was just thinking of
a pubby type of bars that I like.
I was thinking, pre-COVID,
since you moved to New York,
did you ever get out?
Have you gotten to get to McSorley's at all?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think I had been there once,
once or twice pre-COVID.
Jeff, have you ever been there?
I feel like, didn't we go one time as part of a sketch fest or something like that?
Probably.
Probably.
You'd remember because you order a beer and they hand you two.
Oh, no, I don't.
And there's suds all over the place.
My brother took me to McSorley's the first time I went there.
It's one of the oldest surviving bars in America.
And it's that cool thing where it's
from the 1800s so like there's pictures on the wall and the some of the pictures are of the bar
and you could look and see like where you're you're sitting and there's no pictures on the
wall and then you got like a mind fucker like dude man wait mix mix or is this new york there
north new york not chicago right right right. Yeah, it's like in the village.
It's great because they only have two beers, light and dark.
So when you order a beer, you say, I'll have a light or I'll have a dark.
And you just order one beer, but they give you two
because they're so frothed up and they're these tiny mug,
like handled little steins.
And if you see a guy like, a whole table orism,
one of the bartenders is carrying like, you know, seven or eight in each hand over there.
Oh, it's great.
And also the food menu.
Like, I think the only thing they have is this one cheese plate that is a sleeve of saltines with like a little plate of Kraft singles and a little pile of raw onions.
Oh my God.
There was, it's been cleaned up,
like the health code or the health,
whatever, inspector made them clean it up.
But the first time when I went there,
it was like dust,
like a thick layer of dust over everything.
Oh, cause that was a thing.
And stuff hanging over you.
Oh, is this the chicken bone place?
The wishbone place? The wishbone place?
The wishbone.
Oh, we've been there.
Yeah.
In like World War II, when guys were going off to war, they hung wishbones over the light
over the bar.
And the idea is when they came back-
They were snapping.
They like took them down.
So all the wishbones there each represented somebody who had died at war.
And then for you know decades and
decades they left them there to honor them but then they got all like furry with dust and probably
mold and then the health department said they had to clean them and then they did clean them they
broke a lot in the process but now they're there and they're cleaned yeah it's a it's a cool place
there's a there's a potbelly stove that like that is just a funny thing to have in a bar.
Well, I saw a great thing there.
One time I was there on a Sunday morning during the Del Close marathon.
And it was packed with people even in the morning.
And it was young people.
And they're all getting really drunk.
But then there was this one family, like a little waspy, almost like cartoonishly waspy Republican family with
like polo shirts and sweaters over their shoulders. And they were sitting by themselves at a table
really, really quietly. Everyone else was like, uh, was like partying and getting drunk. And they
were just like sitting there it
was like a family of four with their with their young kids and stuff and uh we were kind of
pointing to them being like why are these what's going on over here what's with these people
and then then the mom from that family who has like her pearls and like a pink polo shirt
she stood up on the on her table what and we were like oh my god that mom is standing on the table
and she held up a mug of beer and she's like god bless america and then immediately 200 uh drunk
20 something and sang the whole song and it was like, hey, only in New York. Yeah.
Guys, let's rank this motherfucker.
Hell yeah.
What are your final thoughts?
Let's see.
How do I like this thing?
Yeah, definitely ordering again.
This is a fun one.
Get a group of people together.
Have these.
It's great.
Yeah, I love it. I'm embarrassed to say I thought that I was going to become a cocktail aficionado, but this is my favorite thing I've ever had.
This is great.
This is why I like to be on Earth is for things like this.
One thing I've heard about is that people smash their teeth drinking these things.
Oh, yeah.
Because that little shot glass comes at you fast.
So be aware.
You got to put your top lip over those teeth.
Oh, very good.
Give it a little fleshy bumper.
That's funny.
I always hear people like all the time talking about like fleshy bumper this
and like hashtag fleshy bumper.
And I never really thought that that's probably what they mean.
I love the Irish car
bomb. I'm going to order them again and again and again. In a weird way, this is an appointment only
drink though, because you don't like, yes, if you're out with people, you're not like other
people are ordering whatever drink. You're not going to be like, I'll have an Irish car bomb by
myself. Yeah. You have to sort of, it has to be the appointment.
Everyone's sort of getting together to do this.
Mike, you're right, and it's a sad fact that you're right.
But appointment only isn't bad.
We've discussed this.
Appointment only is just...
No, it's not bad, but...
It's a certain distinction.
There is a little bit of an asterisk.
Yeah, right.
It's a certain distinction.
You're not going to be doing Irish car bombs willy-nilly.
Right.
And maybe you should.
Maybe this should be...
If you're home by yourself during the pandemic
and you're watching a movie, have a car bomb or two.
Maybe now that I'm watching Sopranos season one
from the beginning, instead of making...
I know.
Yes! Whoa! I know. Yes!
Slow!
I'm in.
I'm in.
You caved.
Oh, I'm so happy.
So instead of making myself a little old fashioned, I'm going to, maybe I'll make myself a couple
Irish car bombs.
You know what I was doing when I was watching Sopranos was a lot of Di Serono.
Oh, very, very nice.
Very Italiano. Is it it i don't know i feel like when when covid's over
um when i when i'm back to like working in offices i'm gonna on my way home stop stop
off at the local watering hole belly up to the bar by myself and have 10 or 20 car bombs
10 or 20 we didn't talk about how many
we were going to do
when we set out on this journey today.
But I'm glad that we did three.
I think that's a good number.
And you know,
it's the
rule of threes.
The comedy rule of threes also applies
to beer bomb drinks.
Sure. Should we make it the comedy rule of fours?
Just kidding.
Just kidding.
I would do it.
I simply would do it.
Tim, I would do it too.
Let's do one last one.
This is just for old time's sake, this one.
All right, we'll do one last one.
For the road.
Are you guys going to do the Just the Jameson?
No, the Bailey's is the fun part.
I'm doing Just Bailey's.
I'm going to try that.
Numero catorce.
All right, we're back. I screwed up.
I said I was just going to do Bailey's,
but I accidentally poured the Jamesons in
and then said, oh, I had the Bailey's.
So it could be the three car bombs ahead of this
that screwed me up.
Well, thanks for coming clean about it.
Yeah.
It's okay.
Well, I didn't want the listener to be like,
so how was that pure Bailey's shot?
I don't need the hate mail, okay?
Here we go.
Ready?
A three, a two, a one.
Oh, boy!
Oh.
Oh.
I was watching it curdle as I was drinking it.
How many of these are you supposed to drink?
Like, what does the surgeon general recommend?
How many are you supposed to drink?
I talked to a doctor before we did this, and he said zero.
Not even one?
Yeah, I said one, but it's for the podcast.
He said, that doesn't matter.
Still delicious. I still love it. Yeah, it's for the podcast. He said, that doesn't matter. Still delicious.
I still love it.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
All right.
Well, geez, I think we're just about ready for the quiz.
Oh, shit.
You have a quiz?
I thought Tim had a quiz.
Are you guys up for it?
I'm up for a little four car bomb quiz.
Hey, guys, at this point, I'm down for whatever.
Yeah, shit. I'm up for a little four car bomb quiz. Hey, guys, at this point, I'm down for whatever. Yeah.
Damn.
Well, it's good that you had four car bombs because this is not so much a quiz as it is a challenge.
Oh, no.
Tim.
Let's see.
The very response I was going for.
Okay.
So, this is the Danny Boy Challenge.
Oh, my.
Oh, Danny Boy.
And here's how it works.
It's St. Patrick's Day.
Sure.
Yes.
And you guys know the song Danny Boy, right?
Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes the pipes are calling.
Yeah.
Yeah, she has a beautiful, beautiful song.
But, and we all love it who
wouldn't it brings a tear to your eye it's beautiful however yes yeah yeah yeah there are
more lyrics to to the song than you think and there are more parts to the song than you may
remember and the song is a little bit longer than I recalled.
And so I thought we'd celebrate this St. Patrick's Day with the Danny Boy Challenge, which works like this.
You guys sing Danny Boy to me and I say who won.
What the fuck?
Okay.
One at a time?
I just sent you guys the lyrics to Danny Boy. okay and here's the thing guys listen it's separated into stanzas you alternate them i want you to sing honestly
i want you to sing sincerely proud and true do the song justice and here's what i'm judging for
melody oh and phrasing it's because there's a there's a lot of lyrics in here
and i've been listening to the song all day to see where the words land okay and when it goes up
when it goes down now do will there be music with it no it's fully acapella. So this is an interesting thing right here.
You guys have a choice.
Who wants to go first?
Because the first person will set the key.
Oh, shit.
Mike and Tim, would this be a good time to admit that I don't really remember Danny Boy whatsoever?
Okay, maybe I'll go first then so you kind of hear how it goes.
You know what? Why don't you go first, Jeff?
I think that would be good.
You have to know, Jeff, when you see this first stanza, you'll know it.
Give it your all.
Tim, I'm looking right at it, and baby, I don't know shit about it.
And I'll try to match Jeff's take on it.
Here I am, the grandson of Eleanor Santry,
and I don't know Danny, boy.
You don't know it.
You know Melody comes to mind whatsoever?
No, Tim, if you have to ask, point blank.
I do. As quiz master
challenge architect.
Jeff, I think you'll get it, I think.
I think it might maybe bring a little
R&B soul
to it. You're allowed to do that
too, but what I'm looking for
is correct melody and correct phrasing.
Oh, well. then here goes nothing
here we go and ladies and gentlemen here comes the danny boy challenge hit it
oh danny boy the pipes pipes. Oh, no.
Oh, this is a train wreck.
Let me begin.
Please start. Please start.
Oh, yeah. Start.
I meant I was going to say...
That was good, though.
Oh, Tim,
I hate you so much. That was really good, Tim, I hate you so much.
That was really good, though, what we heard.
Yeah, I bet it was.
Here we go.
Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.
From glen to glen and down the mountainside.
From glen to glen.
The summer's gone and all the roses falling.
Tis you, tis you, must go and I abide.
All right, Jeff, I'm going to try to follow Jeff's.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow or all the valleys hush and white with snow.
Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow.
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny daddy boy i love you so okay now wait pause pause pause pause
very very nice work guys mike now i'm gonna have you take this next stanza and you from your memory
sing the real daddy boy and let's see if it keys okay okay okay from here, When Winters Come. Okay. When winters come and all the flowers dying.
Oh, beautiful.
And I am dead, as dead as I may be.
You'll come and find the place where I am lying.
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
Beautiful.
But I shall hear those soft you tread above me.
And all my grave shall warmer sweeter be and you will bend and tell me that you love me
and i shall sleep in peace until you come to me beautiful okay, I have to put an asterisk on this
next one. My nephew just came
in here and hit me in the crotch
with a Nerf bat.
Oh, daddy, oh,
I must refuse.
That's cool. That's slowly.
Oh, you can hear the Nerf.
If I'm still cold
and I
can't cross the glen.
Your broken mother sighs and feels so lonely.
Oh, no, he's back.
For you have not returned to smile again.
Take it home, Jefferson.
Last stanza.
Do I have to do the Nerf bat thing?
No, but this is the part where it goes up.
It goes,
So if you've died
in the cross and stream...
Honestly, I'll take that cue.
So if you've died
and crossed the stream before us
we pray that
angels met you
on the shore
beautiful
and you'll look down
and gently you'll
implore us
to live so
we may see
your smiling face once more.
Oh, beat drop.
Hell yeah.
Together now for the last line, Jeff.
Once more.
Oh.
Pretty good.
My God.
Pretty good.
I am bawling my eyes out.
And here's the thing.
Michael, Mike, you knew the song better you could think of the melody jeff started us off with a with a kind of a blink 182 song
but jeff your ability to adapt oh he jumped into it to persevere and to jump on board and then hit
some correct notes the winner of this challenge is Jefferson.
Oh, wow.
Way to go, Jeff.
No, that's great.
You won the last one, too.
You won the avalanche.
Oh, the java lanche.
The java lanche.
I'm sorry.
I forgot to have a sound effect for this one.
Way to go.
There was enough sound in that one for all of us.
Also, I got to say, I'll reiterate again.
I look forward to more
lanches. We got to get more lanches going.
The lanches, the challenges are fun.
Oof. I got to come up with a good
challenge. I'm just like, well, here's
some questions. Cool, man.
Guys, great singing, both of you.
You really warmed my heart on this
St. Patrick's Eve. Yeah, yeah.
On this St. Patrick's Irish day. Oh, did he did he the thing about these car bombs do you feel like each one i could feel
each one hit like kick in all at once so like over the course of this podcast it was like
it wasn't a gentle gradual rise in drunkenness it was four steps where I was like, beep, beep. And just right now, the
fourth one hit me. Good.
Hey, that's great. That's good to hear.
I wish I had a vomitorium in
my house.
Oh, before we wrap this thing up,
did I tell you guys about a
celebrity I met recently?
Oh, no.
I forget who it was. Yeah.
No. Oh, I did tell you. So I told Tim. But okay. So to fill you in, Jeff, I forget who it was. Yeah, no. Oh, I did tell you.
So I told Tim.
But OK, so to fill you in, Jeff, I was at this really cool, chill sort of outdoor bar patio area.
And I was there by myself and the celebrity was there by himself.
And we start chatting it up and we had a few drinks together.
And well, you know, we made a little little chit chat and uh yeah i made a
voice memo of the whole thing and uh of what was like while it was happening so i awesome yeah wow
we play it for you here great He's in JFK and Molly's game
I didn't see the postman or JFK
I'm hanging out with Costner
I'm sipping on the Fosters
He's talking about his Oscar
I'm hanging with the guy from JFK.
Oh, man, he's the coolest.
What a cool guy.
Damn.
Damn.
I think he showed his bare ass in Dances with Wolves,
but I never seen that one either.
He did.
He did show his bare ass.
He did.
Okay, well, I never saw it.
Yeah, I saw Kevin Costner the other day.
It was fun.
And that was your voice memo?
Yeah, I decided to just, you know, save the moment.
That's cool.
That's what's so cool about like having
mobile devices is that we could just sort of like very quickly casually oh yeah do a little note i
do it all the time refreshing in this day and age of like instagram filters that you would put that
up unvarnished yes yeah yeah i didn't want to i didn't want to monkey with it it was just yeah
this is how it is well thanks for sharing it with us well thanks for thanks for listening yeah i mean you're hey you're welcome if i ever meet a
celebrity i would um i would quickly get my phone out and put the voice memo recording on
yeah and then um me too hopefully get something good to share with you guys
perfect oh man do you guys remember my uh jill and hall mishap oh fuck this is a real
thing go ahead yeah i forget this is before i had a smartphone i when i only had a flip phone
remember those mini cams they're like the size of phones but they're little cameras that were
digital it was called a flip phone flip cam right for whatever reason, we had an idea for like a UCB sketch that like it would be funny to have a shot of a celebrity with us in the shot for some sketch idea we were doing.
But when I worked at Gracie Films at the Simpsons and I was on the Sony lot, I went back and forth a lot.
Sure.
But I was at the valet stand and Sony and I saw
Jake Gyllenhaal and Hey, we're on the Jilly wagon. We've discussed this a hundred percent. Yeah. We
love Maggie. We love Jake. I said, Hey, uh, the, the Mike and Jeff will think it's funny if I get
a shot of me, a selfie video with Jake Gyllenhaal in the background. So I walked past him and I,
I turned into selfie mode and I shot my face with Gyllenhaal in the background so i walked past him and i i turned into selfie mode
and i shot my face with gyllenhaal in the background and i was nodding the camera like
and gyllenhaal turned and he saw me and he goes real cool bro real cool and i fucking was i mean
we're like the same age. How humiliating.
Yeah, it was mortifying.
It was the worst.
And I fully cowered and I put the camera down and I ran away sad.
