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. Hi. And Tim Kalpakis. What is up? And we're your host, the Sloppy Boys. Yo-ho. Yo ho, yo ho.

We have missed Talk Like a Pirate Day again. By a mile. With. By many a mile. We missed last year's completely. One of these days we're going to say R-Media. I know that. We'll say it at the appropriate time,

because we say it all the time when it's not Talk Like a Pirate Day. Anyway, how are you two doing? Where were we supposed to do a thing about kind of like how the Eagles, the Rock Band, said that rock stars were the modern day cowboys. We were supposed to do get a whole thing going about how cocktail podcasters are the modern day pirates.

I forgot about that, but you're right. We are sort of like the modern day. So in a way we talk like modern day pirates every week here pilots every week yeah we lead a swashbuckling lives and we sort of sail the high seas of the net yo ho ho bra mm-hmm let's fucking go matey let's fucking go walk the plank bra are you guys not to get too personal but are you excited for our bands to play concerts in Raleigh and Charleston on the 23rd and 24th? The Southern Double?

That's coming up, isn't it? Yeah. The Subdub? Oh my God. Yeah, that's going to be good. Mikey choking? Were you choking at the mere thought of that? I'm choking on this news.

It's coming up. Man, that's crazy to think that over Zoom, we couldn't help each other in the event of a choke. I know you'd have to maybe get in touch with one of my neighbors, strong neighbors who bust the door down. I don't have either of your emergency contacts come and think of it. You are my emergency contact. I need to. Oh, there's there's been several a

filling out of a form that Jeff, when you and I were roommates, I'd be like, Jeff, Jeff's closest to physically closest. He can help me going in. You just say the doctor, do you know, Jeff? Talk to Jeff and the doctor. Don't don't pick Jeff. You don't want to. But then they would quiz me to be like, what's he allergic to? I'd be like, oh, bees.

No medicine, you idiot medicine. Nothing. He you idiot, medicine. Nothing? He's allergic to medicine. The fucking new Fortnite season because he can't fucking get a win? Not true, I crush everybody in that game. Awesome, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Anyone who comes at me gets taken down. They get fucking vaporized. Pretty quickly. See, this is why I don't play Fortnite, is I'm afraid to come at you and get taken down. I would treat you, Tim, like the noob you should be treated like, I would pwn you, I would pwn you. Ow, I hate getting pwned.

I would pwn you so hard. It's funny, do people even say pwn anymore in a non-ironic sense? Yes. Like, do you think on message boards people are still like oh noob. Yeah, that was like early 2000 That's old timey internet old timey internet. Yeah, that's 2005 God old timey net. Hey, isn't it funny? You like one day like our Nephews are gonna come up to us and be like you guys had memes back in your day and we'll be like

Yeah, I can has cheeseburger. Huh? Huh? The memes today are about Northwest's kids. Yeah. You know, remember in the wrestler when what's his name? Who's the main guy in the wrestler? Mickey Rourke. When Mickey Rourke brings that kid in and he's like, I want to play video games.

And they put and he plays. He fires up like any wrestling. And it's like clearly a kid who's like a PlayStation era kid. And he's like, I don't care about this. That's how relevant our memes are going to be when we try to relate to the youth. Shit. I had a weird meme emotion recently, which was... You mean emoji.

I heard a song and I was like, I know that song. Ooh, that's a good song. And then I saw I brought it up on Spotify. I was listening to this song and I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is a good song. Yeah, but where do I know this song from? And then I Googled and it was the song that is, it's like a meme song from the Just a Chill Guy meme. You know that kind of like it's like this little cartoon like aardvark anteater looking guy and he's in a hands in his pocket. He looks like Babar kind of or Babar.

Yeah, yeah. That's Arthur, right? Arthur. Yeah, Arthur. Arthur. Yeah, he's like he's an off-brand Arthur though. He's not. No, yeah, yeah. The guy you're thinking is an off-brand Arthur though. He's not. No, yeah, yeah. The guy you're thinking of is an off-brand Arthur. I don't know what this thing is. It looks like the Kevin James sheepish, like, sort of making that face. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's a little cartoon guy. But within two weeks, the first time I saw it, it was on one of these booze accounts I follow.

It made me laugh. It was like, when, it was like, people get mad at me for yelling and puking and fighting, but what they don't realize, I'm just a chill guy who drinks too much sometimes. But then like, you know, then for like two weeks you kind of see a lot of it. But then, yeah, I guess what I was getting at here was I was like, yeah, this is a good song. I'm going to click like on spot. I think it was called Hinoke Wood. I'm like, I hit like on spot if I can keep this in my playlist.

And then once I tracked it down, I realized a meme song, it like hurt my enjoyment of it. I was like, oh, it's just a meme song. But you're like, that's not the artist's fault. And it's still a good piece of music. How weird in this digital age that my brain would detract from a piece of art, just because I've seen it on an Arthur-esque meme.

I wish that in Instagram, all these platforms would have buttons that are like thumbs up to the song, thumbs down to the setting, thumbs up to the outfit, thumbs down to the person. Right, right. Discerning likes. They would feed you the perfect images if you did that. Have you noticed the Netflix when you finished watching a show now,

it asks you to say thumbs up or thumbs down or dismiss after you. Yeah. Huh. Dismiss, right? I get baffled sometimes. Like I watched the Anthony, the new Anthony Jesselny. Oh yeah. We were talking about this. Yeah, yeah. Afterwards you're like, whoa, were we talking about OnPod? Nope, nope, nope, nope.

This is personal life. The personal life, IRL. Now our personal lives are becoming public. You watch Anthony Jesselnik's special. I enjoy Anthony Jesselnik, he makes me laugh, I enjoy the special. Then at the end it comes up and says, did you like your dislike?

And I was like Netflix? I don't know how you're gonna interpret Like I liked it, but if I click like I have a feeling what's coming and it's a lot of you're gonna get Matt Right, I'm gonna get Jeff Dunham. Oh, yeah. Am I just gonna get stand-up or am I gonna get like smart? Roast guys. I know but that's the problem is like Jessalyn is maybe the one roast guy that I'm like that gets me into it But he's kind of the best writer So I'm like if you're gonna send me a bunch of half-assed fucking Austin comedians who are like fuck you

Fuck me fuck you fuck me. Yeah, I like that. Just like I like that special. That was really that was cool I hadn't seen him do anything in a while. It was good to see. He's an active man, though. He's out there. Oh, yeah. It was all on me. All on my side.

The negligence was all on me. That's nice to see you own up to it and be held accountable. It is right. That's right. You got it. All right. Do we get into some booze news? Ooh.

Yes. Do we? 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-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- Yes! Dip em in the runny egg. You've dipped. Dip em in the runny egg. You've dipped. How do you egg? The sous vide egg bites. A bunch of eggs in a bag. That's how I egg. I'm not an egg guy. Cause I'm a boo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo- Eggs. Eggs. Boos news hit it. Boos news was sent to us by Count Droppula, aka Charlie. And if you have a boos news theme, email it to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com.

Charlie. I like a funny, a funny like screen name that aka Charlie. DJ Kooky Wacky Dracula guy and his name is Charlie. I like those Internety things to where a musician will take like just somebody's rant or speech and play along to it. Yeah, yeah. So it'll be like some like lopsided thing where it's like, brr brr brr brr brr brr brr. Yeah. You know, who's just really good at that is our old friend

Brooks Allison, who played with us in New York. He just takes like a Trump speech and plays it on bass. Yeah, I was office mates with him at Fallon, and he's a big music guy. And anytime anyone, me, you're like, you know, in the room, but people would come and be like, hey, Brooks, I got an idea for a song thing. Can you help me out with it?

It's like, he's cooking it up. Such a bane on whoever's good at something, because you're like, fuck yeah, I have my work to do, but yeah, and like music's more fun than just like typing. He's cooking it up. like that that is like, I see music out in the real world. Like you guys probably just hear people talking and stuff and I'm like, oh, notes and rests. Yeah. So when you walk down the busy street, you hear like a jackhammer go like,

brrr, dut dut dut dut. Yeah. And I'm bouncing to that, man. Yeah, right. Yeah. Here's the best way I could put it. You guys hear a machine gun. I hear machine gun Kelly. OK, that sucks.

I'd rather hear the machine gun. To whom? Hmm. You just spark something in my miniscule brain. I wanted to bring up like four podcasts ago. You're like, order again. It was Jellico. No, Machine Gun Kelly.

Yes, he was on some Christmas special thing during Christmas time and he was. Fuck, he was singing. Which one? What was it? Sabrina's not Sabrina's. No, it wasn't. It was like on network TV. And it was like he was singing. What's the wham song that was the Christmas song? Oh, last Christmas. I saw this. Not Sabrina. thick guitar solo part and the camera is all on him he's playing acoustic guitar capo'd way up to the like the whole time he's capo'd to like capo'd with an inch

of his life and he's strumming these high things and then as the guitar solo is really ripping he's still in the acoustic acoustic and playing it really fast and tight and tiny but they one or two shots like from a wide shot you see the actual guitar player in the band behind him like ripping it Up and it's just so funny to see a guy like doing all the moves of like a guitar solo He's a showman Mikey even if he's on the rhythm guitar Even having it way up. It's like is that it's just a trick to make it look like we think you're playing this Solo like that's impressive. Yeah, I think he's probably knows he's tricking the dummies,

but it's good that they cut to the actual guy. But but even cutting to the actual guy was like you had to look for who was playing guitar. It was just like big wide of the band. It was very interesting to me in this time of art. And that that that it's even worth tricking us, that that might work. Or if it wasn't a trick the camera The director just knows to be like be on him. Nobody cares about a guitar solo

Mgk, I kind of I noticed that uh, god I saw a band doing a tv performance and they simply didn't cut to the guy Who was playing guitar solo and I was like, that's fucking weird Like a guitar solo is happening and you're just like showing the singer like being like, yeah Yeah, just kind of grooving with it. Oh, and the other thing too, they called Machine Gun Kelly MGK on network TV. Oh, is that his new moniker?

I bet, I bet he's not cool with being associated with the gun, machine guns. Yeah. I don't think I would be. I'm seeing a lot of MGK. Yeah. Well, you got to reinvent yourself, you know. You got to update yourself, I suppose. I don't like his aesthetic now.

Not that I did before. Well, he kind of did like the cornrow braids kind of right. Yeah. I'm trying to remember what he was looking looking like that. That was that fateful day. I think it's weird. He hasn't done another reinvention because he made the big change from rapper to like pop punk guy and Now that he's his star is waning you would think he would like have some big new thing. Oh

back to rap Our next album should be back to rap I'm gonna be back to rap. We're going back to the rap. You know we're going back to the rap. Come on. Now who has booze news? I don't have. Oh, okay, shit.

Here's the booze news that I found rather interesting. Teeny, well, this one I'm gonna glaze over. We're not even gonna talk about it. Pizza Hut tomato wine. Pizza Hut put out wine that tastes like tomatoes, but then it was sold out too fast. Not a real product, not worth talking about. And the only Pizza Hut news I have,

I saw on a fish Instagram account, somebody had a lot shirt that was in the Pizza Hut font that said a penis butt. That's all I got from Pizza Hut. That's good. I saw that recently and I chuckled to myself. I'm more into that than the tomato wine. Another little thing that just caught my eye, just glazed right

over, Alice Cooper from the Call Her Daddy podcast came out with a product called Unwell Hydration and it's like a hydrating, first time I've seen it, it's like a Gatorade but it's kind of hinting at like you partied and you need this hydrator and she had a launch. Borg's doing big business I see. Wait, her name's Alice Cooper. Alex Cooper. Oh, Alex Cooper. Okay. Then the launch party was a ski theme. So it caught my eye because as we know, we're doing a residency in Aspen. But it was like very much, it wasn't like, it wasn't throwback Yopre ski, but it was like, you know,

those kind of, they're not boots, but big fur puffs on the ladies feet were just like a big giant white puff. The whole foot is a puff. It's like there's a boot in there though. Hidden there somewhere. They're both somewhere. If you can get to it, fine.

It was like big ear muffs and then those and then shots keys and stuff. But it was like, hey, here's a, anyway, I was just saying, I guess there's a new hangover product. Anyway, here's the booze that I wanted to get too. This is almost, we ditched a year ago, we ditched the International Bartenders Association, we ditched.

We didn't ditch it as in we flaked, we conquered it. We conquered it, yeah. We graduated, we ascended beyond it. We vanquished it. We conquered it. Yeah. We graduated. We ascended beyond it. Yes, we vanquished it. We looked at our call letters and we were like, yes, not call letters. Tagline? Go ahead, Tim.

Go for Tim. You are ready for you to go. Tim, everyone's waiting. Kind of flabbering here. I haven't, since we vanquished the IBA cocktail list and went out on our own, I haven't really checked in on them, but we used to talk a lot of shit on their website

and how clunky it was. Well, much like stalking an ex's Instagram and seeing that they're thriving, guys, look at this link that I'm sending you. IBA-world.com is now a beautiful website. Wow. And here's the big change. When you go to a cocktail,

they have made videos for every single cocktail. Whoa. Oh. Can you believe that? It's like somebody's nephew would need an internship or something over there. I clicked on the daiquiri. It's got 425 views. Thriving.

Thriving. It's been up for most of the year. Oh, this is, I mean, they're coming for the crown. They're trying to put us out of work with this shit. They're definitely coming for the crown. They're trying to put us out of work with this shit. They're definitely coming for the crown. They probably heard that we left. Yeah. But yeah, look, beautiful videos.

Well shot. Beautiful videos for every single cocktail and on a new revamped website. Still a little bit weird on the functionality, things that look like they're clickable or not clickable. They're just words. I know. Well, you know what? They're finally stepped into they finally stepped in the 21st century.

That's good. And I think what I'm saying here is in this picture of a brandy Krusta is looking damn good. Oh, looking like a snack looking dank. I had one of those at the California Clipper in Chicago. Remember? Hey, no, Tim. I'm sorry to say I don't. We had one of those at the California Clipper in Chicago. Remember? Hey. No, Tim, I'm sorry to say I don't remember

when you had that drink. You don't remember a drink that I had during one round of the thousand nights of drinking we've had? I don't remember which bar was even the California Clipper. Oh, wait. Oh, the Clipper. That was a nice bar, actually. It was the one where they were doing karaoke

and everyone was like a professional singer. They were good. Much like us, professional singers. The bar, the amb bar, actually. It was the one where they were doing karaoke and everyone was like a professional singer. They were good. Much like us, professional singers. The bar, the ambiance, fantastic. Anyway, I just want to say that I now can endorse to all the slopheads looking for links to cocktail recipes. I can endorse IBA World as a place that's worth going to to look at, how do I make a brandy crust?

Go there, IBA-phen world dot can yeah but first you're gonna want to start at sloppy drinks calm that's the one that's better that's the one we actually use yeah I'll start everything on our website sloppy boys calm which you can then link to sloppy drinks which I don't know sloppy drinks probably has a link to something else no you shouldn't need another link after sloppydrinks.com. Sloppydrinks.com was made by Slophead Emmet, you might know from the Discord.

Yes! But, hey, while we're talking about the internet, how about this? Sloppy Boys Vinyl Collection sold out. Whoa! Can you believe? Boo! Man, in record time.

Boo! Those are the orders coming in, like a Martini throw a rib eye. Boo! Zup! Boo! Now, Jeff. Yo.

You don't have to make any particular announcements, but me as a vinyl head, can we expect that more vinyl will be available, perhaps on tour? Is it at least a possibility? vinyl head, can we expect that more vinyl will be available, perhaps on tour? Is it at least a possibility? Yes, it's a distinct possibility. Like, distinct?

A certain distinction. It's a certain distinction. I gotta think the things have been pressed, right? The things have been pressed, and you know, they sound great. But all we need to do some more is get some more of that wax and put it in the machine. Yeah, we're out of wax here at the Sloppy Boys LLC. Send us your wax and meet us on tour,

because folks, we're going to try and have that up at the merch table. And hey, maybe we sign some vinyl. Send you along your way. If we pat you on the butt, off you go. Well, is that it for Booze News? Wrap it up. My turn! Well, well, now we're doing,

where it comes down to the drink of the day, doesn't it? Certainly. It does always seem to happen around this time. How it always fucking comes down to the drink of the day? We are now gonna talk about a drink that was sort of a compendium to last week's episode. We did the Churchill breakfast last week, yes? Yes.

Now today we're doing just the Churchill. This is interesting. Which I think we discussed on the pod. Yeah, we discussed that it's a more real drink. It's not like, it doesn't have a sort of a story behind Which I think we discussed on the pod. Yeah, we discussed that it's a more real drink. Mm-hmm. It's not like a, it doesn't have a sort of a story behind it in the sense where the Churchill breakfast was like, this is what kind of makes up a breakfast in his world. Right, because that one was just like a new novelty drink that was just recently created.

This one's an oldie. Yeah, it was a nod. This one, the man himself actually had this. We can deduce. Yes, ooh, and Jeff, you're gonna love this. He, also, the funny thing about this one, it's on, I'm going off of liquor.com here, it's just called Churchill.

Not the Churchill, not just Churchill. So if you were to order it, would you say, I'll just have Churchill? Yeah, I guess that you would. Churchill for me, please. I'd say odd. Well, on our socials, when Jeff makes those graphics for the drink of the week, he doesn't say the martini, he just says martini.

Right, right, right, right. Or a martini. I don't say that either. That's true. No, you don't. No, I don't. I don't say a martini. And I never will. Now, this this cocktail has got a pretty easy, pretty wrapped up tight story to it. We, of course, have gone through. We've talked about the Savoy Hotel, the American bar at the Savoy Hotel. Yes. Yes. It comes up a lot on pod.

And Tim, you've you've been there. I've not been, but I'm always talking about Harry Craddock, the bartender who wrote that book. But where did you go? It's like a bar that looks like it's got... The Savoy Hotel cocktail book is iconic and written by Harry Craddock. I have been to Harry's New York bar in Paris, and that book, the ABCs of Mexican...

Harry's New York bar, that's what it was called. His book is written by Harry Macalone, the two Harrys. Ah yes. Pfft. Well luckily for all three of us and the listener, the Harrys have nothing to do with this. Except, anyway. So, this is an easy one, Joe Gilmore.

He was a Savoy Hotel bartender, I'm sorry, American bar bartender from 1940 to 1976. And one day he made it, Churchill was a big person in his life that he liked. Yeah, right. He just like liked Churchill a lot. And a bunch of people would come through this bar, he'd serve drinks to Neil Armstrong,

he served to Hemingway, he served to Sinatra, Frank Sinatra. But he had a fondness for Churchill and he decided to whip up something for him. Now Churchill, him to himself, we all know from last week, he loved to drink in the morning. He liked to drink, I did not realize this, just constantly throughout the day, just scotch.

Scotch. Sort of on just constantly throughout the day. Just Scotch, Scotch sort of on his person throughout the day, which when you think about what that guy was involved in with, like during the time to think that like a drunk guy was doing all that, like figuring out how to end World War Two and all. A gentleman drunk. It's just a it's just funny to think like in the old days, like, yeah, we all know this leader of First World Nation drinks, but whatever, we're just gonna let it go.

Yeah, crazy. You can just be a diplomat who's like a known drunk. And then he like, I think, you know, went down in history is doing a good job. And like, isn't there I feel like I've heard that he had a doctor's note like they was like, let him drink. He's got to drink because he doesn't drink. He's addicted to the stuff, so let him drink. He'll get the shakes.

Oh, and the funny little thing I read about here, Churchill, when he started drinking, when he was a young soldier in South Africa, when England was fighting in South Africa, and the water wasn't drinkable where they were. So they would mix the rasset ration whiskey with like the bad water to get it down. Yeah.

And he just liked it from there. Wow. He said in a quote, by diligent effort, I learned to like it. That's so funny. That's kind of like the pirate thing too. Wasn't it? We're like, they make you drink water, but I learned to like it. That's so funny. That's kind of like the pirate thing, too, wasn't it? Where they make you drink water, but you got to mix it. Yeah, because the water is so good. And lime was to keep away the scurvy,

so you had to have lime. But then, yeah. Yeesh. But that's funny that it still counts as drinking a couple ounces of water if you drink it with Yeah some ounces of scotch Yes, thought about that like if you went for a run and then came back home and instead drinking cold water drank warm water It would like

It would still do the same thing. It just wouldn't be pleasant, but I'd still like do the same thing. I would think Yeah Well this you know now this is a good, this is interesting here. This is very interesting to be, to be, to be sure. We'll be the judge of that. Just say what it is. Now I've, I told you guys that Joe Gilmore worked at the Savoy at the American bar at the Savoy 1940 to 1976.

And yet in the same article, no, wait, ha ha, this was taken from Diffords, I think. This factoid first appeared in print in Esquire magazine in 1939. So I'm thinking there just might be some date discrepancy here. But it's still the guy. That guy made that drink for Churchill. Yeah, but you know, when you do the research,

you put all afternoon into something and then it falls apart like this is terrible. There was a cool story somewhere that I read, I don't have in front of me, but it was like Churchill and FDR were like on a train going somewhere when they were together. And they only had like rye whiskey and Churchill made him stop the train

and send somebody out to get like scotch. So they had scotch whiskey for him. The guy likes to drink. Sort of a difficult guest. Yeah, but you know, he's, oh, and the other thing too, he didn't even really like cocktails, Churchill. Right. He just liked the fucking drink.

Yeah. Johnny Walker Red Label. That's it. That was his thing? I believe that he drank just Johnny Walker Red Label all day, every day, loved this stuff. That's great. I got some black I'm finna use.

Oh, good. You know what I'm gonna use? I don't have Scotch whiskey, but I'm gonna use some of my Redwood Empire whiskey, rye whiskey. Rye whiskey. Oh, Michael. We met those, we met the Redwood Empire guys

up in the San Fran show. They gave us a bottle. Gave us some shirts too. I love my shirt. I've been wearing that shirt like crazy. Love that bottle too. It's a comfy shirt, yeah. All right, let me tell you what the recipe here is.

The ingredients for Le Chachilio. One and a half ounces blended scotch whiskey, half ounce Cointreau, half ounce sweet vermouth, preferably Dolan Rouge, half ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed. Ah, that's a tongue-tie or twister for you. I add all ingredients to a shake with ice, shake well until chilled,

and straight into a chilled coupe glass. Ooh, so no fresh ice in that coupe glass? I have around one, Jeff, I'm going to I'm going to not allow it. As old Churchill would say, I'm going to not allow it, mate. OK. Damn. All right. Yes.

And when we get back, I want to tell you guys about something else Churchill related that I'm very excited about. Good podcasting, Mike. Folks, we're going to make these drinks. And when we comeing, Mike. Folks, we're going to go make these drinks. And when we come back, Mike's special info. Yes, let's let's put it another way.

Let's take off our podcasting hats and snugly put on our bartenders hats. OK, and then put on our hats in order to hear Mike's special info. Yes, you're listening hats. It's coming. The special info is coming. Bye, folks. And we're back talking Churchill. Is that versus Mario Kart? This is how it is. Um, well, this looks like a lot of drinks, maybe a hundred drinks we've had on the pod

look exactly like this. Yeah, I was, as I was making it, I was like, these are the pod look exactly like this. Yeah, I was making it. I was like, these are intriguing ingredients. I like it. It's just, I'm not a scotch guy. So let's see. The intriguing ingredients. That could be good Tim.

The intriguing ingredients and so many impediments. That's so funny to get excited and then be like, that's good Tim, you gotta do that. Fuck, I better come through for Jeff on this one. He's expecting a lot. All right. Sips. Hmm. Yes, that is a delicate little flavor.

Balanced balance. Yes, I'm I'm Vibes. I'm getting a sidecar. Remember the sidecar? Yes. What was in that exactly? I want to Whiskey, no. No, I want to say cognac and something orange and yeah orange like triple second or

Curacao, let's see cognac Cointreau yeah Lemon juice orange twist. That sounds great. That sounds better than this. Well, that's a classic cocktail. Remember, that's like one of the six cocktails to know or whatever in some classic book, but I definitely- Oh, yeah.

I enjoy cognac, whereas scotch, it's, I just got, Mike, didn't you have like a scotch phase? You were sitting around Ron Burgundy style drinking scotch? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, it was that, exactly. The answer is yes, and I'll leave it at that. No, I was trying to think of a Ron Burgundy quote, but I didn't, I was thinking more of.

Milk was a bad choice. Scotch was a bad choice. No, scotch, scotch, scotch, drink it all down, I love my more of. Milk was a bad choice. Scotch was a bad choice. No, Scotch got Scotch. Drink it all down. I love my Scotch. Yes, I was. I had a bottle of Argbarg that I had purchased for something. Harglobarg? I think it was called Argbarg.

Ardbeg. Ardbeg. Ardbeg. Arglobarg. How is Arglobarg doing? He's good. He's thriving. he's thriving. He's good.

Well, anyway, yes, and I was enjoying those and I'd gotten past it being like, ooh, this is too, you know, band-aid-y tasting, sharpie tasting, and I got past that, I was enjoying it. There are two Scotches that I like to have on my shelf because they have beautiful labels. One, Cutty Sark. Have you seen that? Now, I said that I liked Cuddy Sark and then a bartender made fun of me, so I haven't bought it since. And the other one is- Did he say anything specifically or just like-

She, the bartender was a woman. Where were you? Pussycat dolls club. Just that it's cheap and shitty. And I said, damn. And then, you know, it's a beautiful bottle, a classic. And in fact, I think both of these can be seen in the film, Goodfellas. J and B, like that's, one of the first bottles I ever laid eyes on

in my life was J and B. J and B is cool. J and B is a classic. I also think it's in The Thing. I think Kurt Russell is playing computer chess in the beginning and he gets checkmated or something like that and he pours his J and B on the rocks into the machine, blowing it up,

foreshadowing the end of the film. That's cool. That's so, The thing is so fun, what makes you think about like, oh yeah, what would you do for fun if you lived like, are they at the South Pole? Yeah, like they're in Antarctica. You're in Antarctica, there's nothing to do,

but you've got to kill the time. There's no Santa, no reindeer. I mean, please, if you're stationed at the North Pole, you're having a fucking blast. Yeah, but he puts you to work come October. But it is kind of funny, like I've certainly sat around my apartment and poured myself a JNB on the rocks and played a video game or whatever. Actually, not a video game. But it's kind of funny to think of like the, you know,

when you live in such a secluded place, like there's no dating or going out or, you know, like there's no dating or going out or you know like there's nothing no like making money or having a fight it's just like passing the days well they would have plenty to pass their days if I'm reading the script correctly I'm not done with the script you should watch the movie man it's getting intense in where I am in this if you like the script you gotta see the movie, man. It's getting intense in where I am in this script. If you like the script, you gotta see the movie. I was making this drink and I noticed the new tech innovation on,

I was looking at the recipe on liquor.com and as you see has a, there's a little button you can hit for cook mode and it keeps the screen, your phone screen from going on sleep. That's smart. Cause that always fucks me up. Yeah. But it's like, it's weird cause it's on the website. So it's funny that I wonder if the website is controlling your phone or if it's just like flashing or something like that.

So your phone thinks it's a video, maybe interesting. I wonder, let him cook. Let them all cook. Yes. In this Cook. Yes. In this case, yes. Apple CEO Tim Cook. It feels like Winston Churchill is a guy with it. We should do a deep dive on in the pod, like watch a documentary or something, because I've heard that he's a fascinating dude.

And the book, The Last Lion or something, was kind of a book a lot of people talk about. But I like these guys with a famous appetite. Your Diamond, Jim Brady. You're Winston Churchill. Tim, you could be one of these guys. Me? I do think so.

You just gotta do something noteworthy now. I just have to finish and end World War II. You got the appetite part covered. Yeah, noteworthy now. I just have to like finish, like end World War II. You got the appetite part covered. Yeah, noteworthy, and that doesn't mean just put out this episode of the podcast, Tim. You gotta do something better. It's not really notable to me, do you know that cocktail podcaster?

He loved a drink. Yeah. Yeah. I'll make note of that. You gotta have some other thing. You gotta be like a dignitary of some sort. Have you heard the Jonathan Richmond poem like on one of his album, he's like,

it's called, I eat with gusto, damn you bet. No. He has, he just like, a poem. I eat with gusto, damn you bet. And he's like, I eat with gusto, damn you bet. And he's like talking about when he gusto, damn you bet. And he's like talking about how when he eats, he gets all into it and he's proud. He's proud of how intensely he eats food.

Proud. He's the perfect guy to do something like that. I assume. Ohm up about something kooky. Some interview with um who's uh his name is nick offerman nick offerman um i saw an interview with nick offerman talking about crisp pratt fat pratt pre uh guardians pratt he he was saying like i love seeing chris pratt eat because he eats with so he's so excited and i've

seen him slurp down a plate of spaghetti like, yeah, he's like a happy baby. Well, that's the thing with Pratt is he used to be, it used to be a bigger dude. And I've heard that, you know, in eating scenes, oftentimes you don't actually, the actors don't chew and swallow every bite. Oh yeah.

But he would. Take after take. Like they would give him a bucket and he'd be like, I'm good. And he would just eat like 12 pancakes in a scene. But he'd also, you know, because he did this his whole weight loss journey. He used to say, I used to be like kind of like a down dude,

unless I was eating, then I'd be like really excited. And then now eating is actually really boring, but the rest of my life is great. Like it's been like a seesaw. Do you think it's the money fame? What, what, what makes his life so great either? I would rather be happy during three meals a day and sad the rest. I don't think it's a bold statement to be like, that's kind of a glow down from a personality standpoint, you know what I mean?

Like, does anybody prefer skinny Pratt? Does anyone in the world? No, it's, it is so weird. Like these guys seem happy. Like you're, you're, uh, Mark Wahlberg or whatever. It's like, I wake up and I pray and I work out and I hug my kids and I pray and I work out and you're kind of like, you know what is fun is a guy who eats 10 pancakes. I just learned something.

I went to Lockhart, Texas with our friends Robert and Mookie and I did a barbecue tour. And at one point I was eating, I ate some spicy salsa or something and I had a bead of sweat coming down my forehead as I often do. And Robert was like, I ate some spicy salsa or something, and I had a bead of sweat coming down my forehead as I often do, and Robert was like, Tim, do you sweat when you eat spicy food? Tim, let me get that bead for you.

He was like, Tim, do you always sweat when you eat spicy food? And I was like, yeah. And he was like, did you know that that's like a chemical thing? And I was like, what? And he said, it's like how we've discussed the asparagus piss or the, uh, the, the, the, the, the, the, what's the,

what's the spice that tastes like soap to some people? So I'm true cilantro thing. Um, he said it's like a hereditary thing that you're, some people's bodies don't cope with spice by sweating. Oh, yeah. Interesting. Have you heard of the meat sweats? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's similar, right? Like if you have like too much meat, like you'll just kind of involuntarily sweat. But just for me to like when you're eating just meat. Yes. Yeah. Protein fat.

I have lots of different sweats. And quite frankly, there's rare to find me dry, rare times when I'm dry. But it's funny that it's out of my hands with the, do you guys sweat, when we did the Hot Ones challenge and we had to bomb, did you sweat? No. I don't think so, I'm just thinking back to other,

when I eat sweat, hot stuff. When I have hot stuff, Jeff, when we were at Silver Lake Ramen recently, I was sweating my balls off. I was happy as fuck. Really? I love it. I love, I mean, it's not socially acceptable and it's not great if someone's like looking

at you or like, you know, but it's not great if someone's looking at you. It's not great to be perceived in those times, but it's not great to be perceived, but I enjoy having, you know, a pho or a ron or a cow soy or super spicy. And then I'm just like, and I'm dripping. Well, you know this about me. I'm a fucking friend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've seen you.

That's so funny because, you know, also what if I have a big hot soup, but I'm going to chalk that up to the temperature of the soup and not the spiciness. That's always what I would think if I was getting too hot with something, but that it would be a good test. We should do warm singulars, too. Yeah, we should do warm singulars again. Yes, because it was so good. And then, hey, you heard that that guy sold that for a mint. No, no, no, no, no. He bought it for a mint.

Oh, I thought he sold it. I thought First We Feast was sold for like or or BuzzFeed sold first We feast for 80 million something like that But like to him and and like the other producers because they were like we want to do it our way and BuzzFeed wants to Bring in a bunch of AI. Oh Wow Hey, I hot sauces. Hey, I brought up On the net here. I found Winston Churchill's daily routine. This was sort of a viral thing a while ago on here Oh fun. That's great. I have a whole book of these and I looked up on the net here, I found Winston Churchill's daily routine. This was sort of a viral thing a while ago.

Wanna hear it? Oh, fun. That's great. I have a whole book of these and I looked up Churchill. He's not in the book. Tim, take it away. This was, I found a few of these on the internet. People like paraphrase it

because it's not like he had a tidy list. It's like this was written in a biography and a lot of people just like paraphrased. But I wanna know more about this book. I want to know who is it. You have a book of celebrity routines. He's not in it. It's called Daily Rituals.

It's about how creatives and like writers and philosophers like did their days. I saw I saw a little iconographic thing of that once where it was like showing different writers like when they would like the day was mapped out on a line and like where their busiest time was. And it was like some people would get right up in the morning work and some people would like work all day, like constantly. So I would work for like a half an hour at night. It was all over the place. Yeah, I like the sort of movable feast type folks who were like, yeah, you know,

I wake up, I do I do some correspondence and then I eat for a couple hours and I listen to music and then I go out and then I, um, those are the I'm a fan of the long morning and you'll hear me and church will have some stuff in common, but I look, I, my eyes tend to open around eight 45 in the morning and that's when I, when I guilt free take out the phone and just have a fucking hour of scrolling. I don't give a fuck. Me too.

I do an hour of like dirty coffee and phone time. Yep. It's great. Indulgent. Nasty. Okay. Winston Churchill's daily routine, as paraphrased by somebody on Reddit or something like this.

Okay. 7.30 AM. Wake up. Remain in bed. Eat breakfast. Wake up. Remain in bed. Eat breakfast. Read newspapers. Remain in bed. Read newspapers.

Work. Work. Glass of whiskey and soda. So his beloved watery whiskey, whiskey and soda start the day. Doctor's orders. You know, he paid that doctor to say that. That's the only thing I feel good is where the doctor lived in a mansion and he only had one. I'm going to talk to my doctor, Dr. Green.

She will get Dr. Green. I've been prescribed a four foot bong. I'm like, okay, Dr. Green, what do you think I should do in the morning? Have a scch and soda. Okay. So that era that the newspapers and the brie mate, the bed and the Scotch and soda and all that, that was at seven 30. Now we're going to get to time to for him to get out of bed at 11 o'clock.

Wow. Out of bed, stroll around the garden, supervising estate, whiskey and soda. Good. Yeah, great. Supervise the estate, okay. I sort of do that in my apartment. I like to keep an idea of what's inventory. Roomba hasn't moved, great.

You mark it on the clipboard. I gotta say, my estate is unsupervised, man, it's run wild over here. PS5 is being turned on somehow. Okay. Okay. Michael is being dropped in. Huh?

And let's see. Let's see. I'm crushing every fucking everyone who comes at me. You have a list of noobs. Okay. Okay. Go ahead. So he's walking around the garden at 1130.

Now at 1300 hours, I would tend to call that 1pm, but he calls it 1300 hours. Multi-course lunch, Imperial pint of champagne. Ooh, big old pint. 16 ounces, baby. Champagne. Champagne. God. Eww.

When these people who say champagne, this is such a fucking gross drink. You can only drink it if you're clinking it and then take it a few sips. Get out of here with this. It's made to be in a small coop that you only have one of. I would think so. I like it, but I like a two ounce pour in a flute as a celebratory thing.

Okay. 1530, work from study. Much like me, I retire to my quarters quite often. 1530, work from study, much like me, I retired in my quarters quite often. 1530, work from study, glass of cognac. 1700 hours, hour and a half nap slash siesta, a habit acquired during his time in Cuba. Ooh, cool. Yeah, he would break up the day like this.

Fella, this drunk man needs a nap? Oh, it's okay, he learned about it in Cuba. Oh, cool. Yeah, he would break up the day like this. Oh, this drunk man needs a nap? Oh, it's okay. He learned about it in Cuba. Oh, cool. An hour and a half later at 1830, wake up, bath, dress for dinner. Yeah. 20.

So let's call this 8 p.m. Lengthy dinner with guests, Imperial pint of champagne. Wow. What does Imperial pint of champagne. Wow. What does Imperial pint mean? It's just the word they're using or? I mean, I think it means out the Imperial system is our system. So I think it's 16 ounces, right?

Okay. It's funny. Just the amount of champagne that's rather odd. Also, you notice there's no driving in the mix here, right? He's going to be in carted around, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Look, that's rather odd. Also you notice there's no driving in the mix here, right? He's going to be in carted around, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Look, here's the thing. He's celebrated as being like a pretty, what's the word, prolific dude despite having big breakfasts and cigars and drinks. This is a guy who never had a cell phone or email. I think just the regular American man is as productive as Winston Church, prime Winston Churchill every day. You're thinking 2024 American man? Yes, yes.

American person, let's just leave it at that. Yeah, yeah, American person. No, man. No, you know what? Let's ask Green Day what they think. Oh God. No, man. You're not gonna wanna hear what they think. Because god You're not gonna want to hear what they think

Because of she the song she no because they want idiot they want us to be American idiots Oh, I thought you're talking about like feminism. They want us to be American idiots guys. Stop the presses. Listen to this Imperial pint that's you know that one glass I have you know those glasses they there's a good pine Then there's a good ridge and that's bigger, a big British pint. It's a 20 ounce pour. That's a 20 ounce pint. Lord. The man's drinking bottles of champagne per day.

Okay. Then at midnight, he's back in his study and for another hour, he's back in his study at midnight and drinking cognac. And then he goes to bed between like a one to three AM. So it's a, it's a couple hours of work at the end of the night. And he's got to be up at seven 30 again. I gotta say, that's not a lot of sleep for a big fat fuck. I thought he would be sleeping a lot longer. I sleep like nine hours. He stays in bed.

I feel like he still gets a little bit of recharge time just lounging around in bed until 11. Yeah, I got a badge between 7, 30, 11. This guy's drinking and taking a few little more naps there. Yeah, oh, I forgot about the naps. Oh, no, there's the, yeah, the one nap there at the end. But it rubs me the wrong way that like, we get so much more done in a day than he does.

He, here he is writing it all down. You're really harping on this point that we do more than this prime minister. You don't know what I do. I don't do anything but just shit. And this is also just one list we're hearing Tim talk about. Here's what I did. I woke up today, I drank coffee,

and I Googled Winston Churchill's daily routine. And then it was podcast time. Sure, sure. I'm condemning our modern era for requiring us to do so much work is I guess what I'm saying. So you're more of a European guy. You mean to tell me that we've all gotten more and more productive and connected

and everything's sped up so much faster every day. And we're less happy. And we're still working 40 hours a week and we still gotta like work multiple jobs to pay rent and shit. We do way more than Winston Churchill ever did in a day. Sure, he was being a high profile diplomat, but. Jeff, I think your problem is not with Winston Churchill

or his routine, but it's. It is not, it is not. It's with the American workforce, which I think you might have, if you had only voted, Jeff, you could have maybe had some say here, but I can't really hear this for me because you just won't vote. Well, he's registered.

He just didn't know who to vote for. Next opportunity, next opportunity to vote. I'm doing it. I'm going to be in there. You got to do it. It is so funny to hear a person's like a day like put out like this. Obviously, his days didn't all go like this and there was ups and downs or whatever. But it's just like you're saying, Jeff, about the Internet. If I didn't have the Internet in my life, like I would be eating

many breakfasts and like going out more and doing stuff. It's just like it's all true. My whole life is just like focus right down to my phone or my computer. But like he had an assistant come in like, oh, we're going to do correspondence in the morning. We fire off emails like it's nothing. But yeah, yeah, yeah. And like just the decisions that get made. But the whole world is slower.

The whole world is slower. Yes, you're right. But it's it annoys me that my schedule can't have something on it like get dressed for dinner. Yeah, you can put that on there. It would take it would take 30 seconds. something on it like get dressed for dinner. Yeah. You can put that on there. It would take, it would take 30 seconds. But you're telling on yourself, like if that's a thing you have to do today is get dressed for dinner, fuck you.

That's a fun life. For me, you know, like it sucks to eat ramen on your couch. Wouldn't you rather get dressed for dinner? Yes. And in fact, from now on, I'm getting dressed for dinner. Getting dressed for dinner. I think it would be fun for the Sloppy Boys political cause to be raising awareness that we think there should be a 10-hour work week.

10? Ooh. Two hours per day is pretty good if you're like, you know, a creative like us two hours of good hard work If I am I if I I'll be honest if I have all my lazy ass morning and then from 11 to 1 if I'm cranking I'm proud. I'll call it. You're 11 to 1 you're in the zone and doing it. You're like in a flow state That's a good day. You couldn't ask for much better. And if I'm having a breakthrough, oh Yeah, oh this this is the perfect idea of the year. The idea they'll all be talking of soon.

Pardon me. I heard it. You've got to pardon me for that one. You're pardoned. I also, yeah, probably Biden would pardon you. He fucking pardoned Hunter. Fucking everybody else. God, you still talking about him?

I won't stop. I love the guy. Do you want to hear a funny story that I heard about? On YouTube, there's a video of Orson Welles telling a funny anecdote about Winston Churchill about something funny he did. Want to hear it? Yes. This is a real story, by the way. Sounds like I'm setting up a song. I know. I was a little curious. I guess Winston Churchill kind of knew Orson Welles, but then at one point in 1940 in France, for some reason, they were both in France and they're staying at some resort. Orson Welles was there

because he was trying to get financing for a movie. So he was meeting with a financier to try to convince him to give him money for his movie. And they bumped into Orson Welles at dinner. And Orson Welles nodded hello. I mean, they bumped into Winston Churchill at dinner. Winston Churchill nodded hello to Orson Welles and then the financier was impressed, like, whoa, you know Winston Churchill? And it was really good and it helped break the ice and the financier was impressed. So then the next morning, Orson Welles was swimming in the pool at the resort and he saw Winston Churchill and he went up to him and he was like, I have to say thanks so much.

You even just saying hi to me. It really impressed that financier and is looking like he's probably going to give me money for my movie. Then Churchill was like, yeah, no problem. Then that night they're at dinner again and Orson Welles walks in with this financier guy and Winston Churchill saw them and he stood up and he got down and he knelt and he bowed to Orson Welles. And the pious was like, oh my God.

That's awesome. How funny to be like the prime minister of the UK and like doing stuff like that. Having a little sense of humor is fun. He's a funny guy. Now, do you guys remember before the break, I was like, oh, I got to tell you about this thing. Tell you about this thing. Right. I want you guys right now to go on Google dot com.

Got an image search for Churchill Arms. A.R.M.S. A.R.M.S. Yeah. And just look at this fucking bar. This is a bar. Look at this place, huh? It looks like a parade float. I know I was in London. Whoa.

I'm one of those big double decker buses that was like just a tour bus. You go all around the city. And we went by this place. I was like, what is that? It's in Notting Hill near Kensington Park, I want to say, or Kensington is, anyway. It looks so cool. And it was named after, it was called something else

before World War II, and then they named it Churchill. It was called like something on the hill or something, and now it's called Churchill Arms. Church on the Hill. Church on the Hill, that's what it was. But the inside is so cool the hill. That's what it was. But the inside is so cool looking and it's like, so when we, if we ever make it to Zermatt, we're going to be over in Europe anyway.

Let's stop here in London and have a drink or two. Doesn't that look cool? I have to say, this place looks like Christmas threw up on it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Folks, it's like flowers planted all over a building. The exterior of a building. Well, if you're listening, whatever you're listening on, just type in those words, church alarms, you'll see it.

But it's a cool looking place. And I wish we were there. Yeah. And it feels like the inside is has carpeting. I love these. This look of like an English pub with carpet on the floor. That to me is cool. That's cool. I'm indifferent to the carpet personally.

Oh, really? Yeah. Now, see, if you're going to go here with me, Jeff, you got to be on board with the carpet. I can do I can try. Can you at least fake it for me? It's got all the it almost has like a TGI Friday's quality inside, but like the real thing, right? It's like it's like actual old artifacts and antiques filling up

like the rafters and every spot on the wall instead of like a moose wearing sunglasses. It looks like something like that the Muppets would be like all popping out of the windows of yes, the Muppets. Ah, well, folks, we talk about the the Muppets would be like all popping out of the windows of. Yes, the Muppets. Ah, well, folks, we talk about the great Muppet caper day on the blowout. The puppets themselves, the Muppets. All right, let's take it back to the drink. Would you change anything?

I'll tell you what. I don't know what I would change. I like this drink. It reminds me of several cocktails we've had, most notably the Sidecar. I think that it felt pretty well balanced to me. It leaned a little on the sour side and I liked that because Quantro, as we've discussed, it's not as sweet as the other triple sex. It's high proof. It's triple dry

So this didn't this and the sweet vermouth is only a half ounce. So I like to this Went a little sour if I were to tweak it I can imagine some people dialing back the lime or Cranking up the vermouth to balance it a little bit, But I kind of feel like for my round two, shit man, I either want to just drink some red label scotch and see exactly what Churchill drank or I want to, yeah, I'm going to do that. I'm going to have that. I'm going to have some red label on the rocks. Ooh. Yeah.

I might do Johnny Walker black on the rocks cause I only have about an ounce and a half left. Damn dude, you know what I'm gonna do? I'll do my redwood empire on the rocks. Okay. Wait, wait, wait, but Churchill's, why am I saying rocks? Churchill was with soda, right? Wasn't all of his whole routine was all soda.

Scotch and soda. I don't know, but I'm gonna do the rocks. Scotch and soda. I'm gonna do a Scotch high ball with soda. That's what I'm doing, but you guys do what you could do. Okay. All right. Folks, we're gonna make round two

and we'll be right back with more Sloppy Boys after this. ["Sloopy Boys Theme Song"] Now we're back with round two. I got myself a highball, scotch and soda. I got myself a highball, scotch and soda. I got myself a lowball with, you know what I did? I did the same thing except I didn't put in the rouge, you know what I mean? The Dolan Rouge. Yeah.

Because I went back to make the drink and I was gonna do what you guys did, but I was like, you know what? Let me just try it without this because that's always a flavor that I'm not so keen on anyway. Yeah. I use shitty vermouth.

The listeners get on me all the time. They're like, get a good vermouth that you like, and then you wouldn't hate this vermouth, but I use some old ass gnolly prat. That word throws me every time. How do you spell gnolly? Or gnolly, gnolly prat. N-O-I?

N-O-I-L-L-I. I'm using Dolan. The rest of me said Dolan. I'm letter of the law. I was letter of the law on this one, but now I'm having a scotch highball. Here we go. This is what Winston drank when he woke up

as a little eye-opener. I mean, that would be fun to drink in the morning when you first wake up instead of coffee. Is it fizzy? Oh yes. Yeah, oh yeah. Oh shit. I made my own soda with my soda stream.

Jeff! How about that? Okay. What do you guys prefer, Winston Churchill or Winston Zedamore? Well, I'll throw one one more in there for you. Lorenzo music. What do we like better? What do I like better in terms of what, ghost busting or diplomatic affairs?

Yes, Edmore for that one. Zedmore. I've talked about this. I got into liquor via Johnny Walker Black when Birthday Boys got canceled. That was like getting into bourbons and scotches and having a bottle around the house and for a long time it was Johnny Walker Black.

On the rocks? Yeah, I still like it on the rocks, but now I've just like, the whole wide world of cocktails is open to me. I'm not sitting around doing Johnny Walker Black on the rocks. Right. Now, luckily I had some and I was like,

is this weird to use with my Churchill? And of course the recipe calls for blended Scotch whiskey, the exact same shit. So it was nice to have something to do with that Johnny Walker black. Here I am with it with soda. I'm not really into that. Interesting.

I'm not into making a big Scotchy band-aid-y thing. You're saying you're stretching out the taste too much. I'm stretching really into that. Interesting. I'm not into making a big scotchy band-aid-y thing. You're saying you're stretching out the taste too much. I'm stretching out the taste. I'd rather it just get melty with ice cubes and just sip it watching a movie or something. And you'd rather use your soda as perhaps a back, a chaser. Oh, yeah, or it's just not even part of the equation. It's funny because, yeah, you're diluted.

There's this agreement that like whiskey is too harsh for the palate. Like that's why you add water or rocks or sort of. And it opens it up Tim, Tim it opens it up. But yeah, it's funny that they don't just sell watered down whiskey, you know, like Jack Daniel's fizzy and it's just this, you know? Yeah. Like you're being awfully quiet. I'm putting my thoughts together on this drink. It's a tough one.

May I may I get into my finals? Your final thoughts. Oh, OK. Oh, you're fine. It's an O.A. for me. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. So I will say this drink doesn't have like, it doesn't do much. It doesn't, it's not a tough sipper. It's not like a, ooh, a new taste I've never had. It's pretty just down the middle drink.

You know what I mean? Like it's a cocktail and I fully, I'm here for it and it's an order again, but it's a order again in the sense that like, it's not the first thing that comes to mind. Why are you going so easy on it, Mike? If you're not gonna order again, you don't have to order it again.

Well, this is tough because we say, I'm gonna say order again because I do like it. Sure, but sometimes we say, you know, I'll give this an order again because I do like it. Sure, but sometimes we say, you know, I'll give this an order again because it's appointment only because there's going to be situations where I'm going to need to, but what's the situation for this? I think a sidecar is better.

There isn't one. There isn't one. You had an opportunity to make it a second one and you didn't do it. I'll give you, I'll tell you what the, I got close. The situation would be, the appointment would be, you got a bottle of sweet red vermouth

you're trying to get through. You've had enough Negronis, you had enough Manhattans, and then people are saying, Mike, make me a drink. You're like, I'll make you a Churchill, now shut up. Now shut up, get out of here. Yeah, this is a, this is a timid order again for me. Order again, lowercase. Ooh, okay.

I'm with you, Mike, because you're right. It seems just like basic ass cocktail. Yeah. Hey, I love Cointreau, I love lime juice. I think there's a place for blended scotch whiskey. Don't much care for sweet red vermouth. Um, you put them all together. I'm not wowed if they were making them and they were like, Hey, Churchill

party, come drink all the churchals you can. I'd say like, absolutely. I'm there. Um, but I don't care about this drink. It's a lower case order again. Yeah. Um, I'm with you. Low. I think I's a lowercase order again. Yeah. Um, I'm with you. I think I would say lowercase order again. I liked it when I was drinking it, but I'm also thinking here's,

I guess that in the world of the drinks we've out on the show, it's fairly unremarkable. The reason I would order it, I guess if I saw it on a restaurant menu, like, isn't it weird? When I'm out, unless it's like a cocktail bar, so many times I look at the cocktail menu and I'm like, well, their margarita is gonna be super sweet and their Mai Tai is gonna be juicy. And I love, the martini will probably be great,

but maybe I'm not in the mood to start my evening with a martini. This amount of boozy-ness and the balance and stuff, it would be nice if there were more drinks like this in the world. So that's my situation is I'm at a weird restaurant that only has bad drinks in this and then I go off that. But I've never seen it on a menu ever once.

Maybe I gotta go to the Savoy Hotel in London. Well, it sounds like we're all in a situation ship with this drink. Yeah. That's our show. Follow us on social media at the Sloppy Boys. We'll re-release these recipes ahead of time. And if you can't get enough boys, it's patreon.com slash the Sloppy Boys. And they are saying that 2025 is the year of the sub. The subscriber.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. You heard that? 2024 was like, let me see what's out there. 25 is I'm subbing, I'm committing. I'm in. I'm in.

I'm mature enough to make a decision. I'm ready to be happy. I've also heard this weird thing about 2025. Have you heard this about a lot of people kind of around the timing of like maybe February 16th to March 3rd? A lot of people are going to be going to see a sloppy boys live podcast tour in Austin, Atlanta, DC, Philly, New York, Boston, Toronto, Pittsburgh, Ferndale, Chicago, the place in Wisconsin I've never learned how to say, and

St. Paul. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of people coming out to say hi for real and to have their official sloppy boys moment. What's your sloppy boys moment? Jeff spilled his beer on me. Yeah. We should have a corporate sponsor

and it's just like, hey, get ready for your sloppy boys moment brought to you by Bank of America. Yeah. I would love to collab with BOA, by the way. They do great stuff. Hey, by the way, speaking of partnerships, I wish I had some premium mixers lying around the house.

I wish I didn't have to make my soda water out of my shitty little soda stream. I'm with you buddy. I'm with you. Would be nice. It'd be nice to have them all on hand. I'm just putting it out there in the world. It would be nice. Yeah, it'd be nice to have something like that in our world. Yeah, because I'll tell you what, fever tree sucks. Fever tree, I'm sick of it. I'm done with fever tree. I crack one open like oh That's a fever. Yeah, fuck who just opened a bag of fucking farts

Mike Yeah, that's how it is sometimes when you open up a fever tree around people They're like oh, so who's ripping who's ripping ass. Sorry, it's the fever tree. Ripping and sipping. It's the fever. You can't be ripping while you're sipping. No, repeat, no sippy. All right, folks, enough of that nasty talk. We'll see you next week.

Yeah, we'll clean it up and see you next week. Oh, I want to do something with my apricot liqueur I've got here. Let's think on that Bye, bye I'm gonna pull all the lights
