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.
And Tim Kalvacis.
What is up?
Here today in person for the very first time.
Three of us sitting in a yard.
Outdoors.
Yeah, we kind of have a breezy summer vibe going on here.
Yeah.
You might hear some squirrels chippering off in the distance or a bell.
You might hear a church say, bing bong, bing bong, come on down.
Or a Los Angeles police officer saying stop
stop yeah from a helicopter yeah or he could be like ah hey we love the pod we'd like we
fucking hate you you suck we heard you guys are all bastards unsubscribe now um yeah we got
hanford out on the west coast mike how does does it feel? The West Coast, well I've said before, the West Coast is the best coast
The East Coast is the beast coast
It feels good, man
I came out here a couple nights ago
Seeing you guys, seeing the old friends
We played a little concert over at Cassidy's house
Yeah, rocked it
We are back
That was our first time playing together since
Chicago
In October 2019.
You could literally see the dust being shaken off of our band.
And a lot of the old heads that followed us to Chicago were also there.
Oh, yeah.
A little bit different tonight.
Where were you after her hiatus?
But we were good.
We played a little backyard show, and we did not rehearse.
No.
We winged it.
Sounded pretty great.
I hadn't touched a bass in 15 months.
Same.
With drums.
I picked up the guitar a little bit, but not the bass.
The bass in the face.
I was surprised how much came back just from sheer muscle memory.
Like, oh, we have played some of those songs enough to wear a deep groove.
Like a familiar Mario Kart level.
There was a song or two where I started.
I was like, whoops, that is not the key we're in.
And those aren't the lyrics.
What?
I was going to do some freestyle.
I felt like musically, like the muscle memory was there,
but what was new to me was that feeling of like singing
and like I can't hear myself
I hope the people can hear me sure that guy over there looks like he's not paying attention. Does this suck?
He's holding his ear and shrugging sure and just like coordination like my body wouldn't do the things
Yeah that you know I'd be playing mid song and my kick foot would be slow and be like come on foot
I'd be like, come on, foot.
Keep up.
What's going on?
We need you up here.
Yeah, that whole conversation was on mic.
Come on, foot.
Yeah, we had some technical stuff.
The playing was a little difficult, but just the performance and the showmanship, that doesn't go away.
Now, the charisma. When you love the stage, that was here to stay.
It was like riding a bicycle.
Yeah.
A funny bike.
The audience, they got back into it.
Ooh, putting a glove back on.
I've been
on the East Coast
since last year
and I missed... You guys recently
had a couple birthdays, did you not?
Oh, yeah.
Do you have some giant gifts for us?
Okay.
This fucking guy.
I thought we said no surprises. No, I? This fucking guy. I thought we said no surprises.
I thought we said no.
No, I'm full of surprises.
No, we said no tote bags.
Who's going to go first?
Who's going to go first?
Tim, you go first.
I'll go first.
Your birthday was first.
Oh, my goodness.
Michael, I thought this was going to be a gag gift, but this is legitimately.
It's a fun gift.
This is a Dodgers deadhead steely Dodger cap
that fits like a damn glove.
And it's got the baseball...
It's a white cap with red baseball
stitching up and over the top.
I look like a big baseball. I look like Mr. Met.
Yeah, you kind of look like Mr. Met.
Oh my god, my two loves
all together in one hat. I thought you'd enjoy that.
Hey man, that's a great gift. Thank you very much.
Of course, of course. Happy birthday.
Alright, J-Man's turn. man, that's a great gift. Thank you very much. Of course, of course. Happy birthday. All right, J-Man's turn.
Oh, hold for a chopper.
Right off the show.
We told you to get out of here.
Fuck off.
Now we're from the news.
They're coming for us.
Oh, my God.
I saw a peek.
Jeff peeked.
That's okay.
He's going to open it anyway.
Oh, Michael, I'm so excited.
What do you got there?
Yeah.
An Evangelion t-shirt. I fucking love it. What's you got there? Oh, yeah. An Evangelion t-shirt.
I fucking love it.
What's that?
He likes anime stuff.
He likes the mech anime, so I figured I'd get him a t-shirt.
I don't know the references, but I know that that's a dirty...
It's purple and green and gorgeous.
A white t-shirt with a big, huge icon on the front.
Big-ass graphic.
Yeah, big graphic.
Happy birthday.
Mike, you are king of the gifts now.
You know, I love to give gifts in the hopes that I get one back.
Yeah, we see what's being done.
That's right, that's right.
Still many months away, so we have time.
You have time to pick out my sizes.
Just try to keep your sizes consistent between now and then.
I'm doing the roller coaster diet these days.
I don't want to have to take it in.
Now, Mike, the tote bags.
Oh, the tote bags.
The listener should know.
The tote bags were the wrapping.
Yeah, you want them back.
Or they go in the trash.
They go in the trash for all I care.
I'm going to wipe my ass with my-
That's what I do.
When I go to the grocery store, I buy reusable bags.
Once they're done, gone.
Trash.
Well, now that we're decked out
in our new shit what do you say we get into some bib bib bow bow bow booze news and hit it now
you had have you had you had you had you have had No, I never felt like this before. Yes, I swear.
It's a truth.
And I'm only on Booze News.
You had?
Have you had?
You had?
You had?
You have had?
The time of my life.
And I owe it all to you.
Booze News.
That was cool.
All right.
Great job.
That was good.
That was sent to us by Baba O'Reilly from Twitter, and he's mixing it up on the Discord.
Oh, really?
Oh, really.
Michael, I believe you had some boo-boo news.
I got booze news.
Now, this isn't the normal booze news.
This is a chip review.
Oh.
A chip review.
Now, we've talked chips before.
We've talked chips before, and I was intrigued by the Crawdaddy chip you were talking about.
Oh, yes.
Zaps.
The Zaps.
So I got my hands on one, and what I do sometimes when I'm out in the real world, I'm out in
the real world quite a bit, I get my little recorder out and record the goings on.
So here's the review.
Okay, hey guys, here I'm in Brooklyn right now at a sandwich shop called...
Brooklyn Larder.
Brooklyn Larder.
Is that the word?
I'm here with, you know, I'm here with friend of the pod, Neil Campbell.
Neil, say hello.
I'd like to say hey to my fellow Patrons.
Nice!
So he's on the record.
Neil is a Patron.
All right.
The reason I'm chiming in here is I'm trying Zapp's Spicy Cajun Craw Taters.
I think Tim suggested these.
I don't like the idea of crawfish on the chip, but I'll try it.
Wow.
You're kidding.
Okay.
Fully worth it.
Okay.
That's pretty good.
Back to you guys.
This segment of Booze News Chip Reviews is brought to you by...
Pepsi-Cola.
Slurp down some of this shit fuck face oh nice oh yeah i got uh i got
sponsored i should have mentioned this i got you should have definitely because i think of pepsi
as being even bigger than zaps yeah i know you think zaps would have gone for it uh but uh yeah
pepsi so yeah the the crawfish chip i liked damn on this on the scene right there in Brooklyn where they got the fresh chips coming up from New Orleans.
Yeah, right off the truck, I bet.
Yeah, they were still hot.
You see what I mean, though?
It's just the spice.
It's not a seafood chip.
Right, right.
It tastes good.
A little bit like your beloved Old Bay seasoning.
That's right.
Now, Neil, friend of the pod who I was with, you probably recognize him, he's a, who is a, uh, Patron.
Yeah, oh yeah.
Full flesh.
And he's proud of it.
You want to be like Neil, be a Patron.
A lot of these Patrons are ashamed of it and they try to hide it all.
A lot of these closet Patrons, come on out.
Step out into the world and say, I'm a Patron.
It's safe, I'm going to be happy.
Uh, so then we got into his chip, which was also a Zaps.
Mm.
Mm.
Okay, Neil has, Neil has graciously allowed me
to try one of his
hotter and hot jalapeno.
I think that's supposed to be hotter than hot,
but it's sort of a cool way of saying it.
Here we go. Zaps, hotter than hot jalapeno.
Okay, that is good.
That is very good.
I do prefer these crawdaddy ones, though.
The crawtaters.
Neil, what do you think of that?
Me, it eats the room.
Me, I prefer the hot or the hot.
Yep, Neil said it. To each of his own.
Alright, back to you guys.
This segment of Booze News Chip Reviews is brought to you by...
Mmm, Skechers shoes.
Don't you think it's time you put something on your feet, you little fuckface?
Skechers shoes.
Don't be such a fuckface.
Look, I think it's cool if Skechers has a little bit of edge to their ads, but to see
fuckface twice...
Yeah, I don't know how to get away with it, but...
Yeah, the jalapeno ones had a little hint of a jalapeno flavor, but it wasn't like a pop.
Yeah, right.
I've eaten pizza with Neil many times, and he likes jalapenos on his pizza.
So I think that he is a little biased.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Well, he wouldn't own up to that.
No, no, no.
And Mike, you're more of a jalapeno on the popcorn type guy.
I do, yeah. I like things jalapeno on the popcorn type guy. I do, yeah.
I like things a little hot on the popcorn.
Yeah.
I like to eat a little hot, a little buttery, and sick after the food.
Yeah, yeah.
A little stomach aches.
I like to be sick.
And it's good that, you know, Neil liked his chip more and you liked your chip more.
That is why we got them.
That's perfect.
Makes sense.
That's good.
That's one of those cool things about Zapps is like you pick out your chip and you eat
the chip that you want. It's customizable. There's good. That's one of those cool things about Zapps is like you pick out your chip and you eat the chip that you want.
It's customizable. Thank you.
Well, you know,
the comedy rule of threes,
we had another chip we tried.
No, no, the food review rule of threes.
Yes, I'm so sorry. This is not a comedy podcast.
Here we go.
Okay, it's a day after
having the Zapps
crab chips.
I liked them.
Neil liked his jalapeno ones better.
While I'm sitting here, I got Neil and Fran, podcast faves.
Neil, how are you doing?
Hey, pretty good.
Okay, he's feeling a little shy today.
Well, we'll get into that later.
And Fran, how are you?
They say don't meet your heroes.
later. And Fran, how are you? They say don't meet your heroes. Now, today we're going to try the Chesapeake crab chips from Route 11 potato chips. Oh, baby, yes. They're kettle cooked. I like these
a lot. Okay, Fran's grabbing one. Oh, a bigumb. Very good.
Mmm, okay.
Somebody's having fun in the back.
A little too crabby.
Okay, the crunch is good.
Well, the crunch you can munch.
The crunch I munch, but I gotta say,
there's too much crab sauce.
I thought it was delicious,
but a crab didn't crawl out of my mouth after I took a bite.
That's why his chip was so big. It was a crab.
All right, well, I prefer the zaps. Bye.
Sorry, back to you guys.

Riverview Dental.
We'll pull your shitty little teeth out of your fuck face.
God damn it. Crazy.
That's the crazy that they have there.
These people think they can get away with.
No, that's what they do.
They're crazy, those people.
But it is a more appropriate sponsor for our level of podcast than Pepsi and Skechers.
Yeah, and for chips, you're crunching down.
You heard how crunchy those things were.
Teeth cracking heads.
I wonder if you guys didn't enjoy that third chip because the crunching was so quiet that time.
It wasn't anything like the crunch of the first two chips.
I learned to kind of pull the recorder away from me.
No, we want to hear that crunch.
I know.
Well, some people don't like all the mouth sounds on the pod.
I love when Jeff ate the grasshopper.
That was an epic crunch all around the world.
Oh, yeah.
That was a surprise crunch.
Yeah, let's not do any more of those, though.
What happened to the rest of the grasshoppers?
They are sitting on my cabinet shelf.
Hopping around.
They're trying to break free of the chocolate shell.
So yeah, I didn't like the Route 11s as much.
So Route 11 is not beloved like Zapps.
Zapps is a thing, and people in the South are proud of it.
Route 11 is more like what you would find at Target or Walmart.
Who's proud of that?
But it's not even like a
brand you would normally...
You were at a deli when you saw it?
It was kind of a nicer place.
A place that has, instead of lettuce on a sandwich,
arugula on the sandwich.
You know what I mean?
You get a little...
Not a potato salad, you get a
couscous.
You go to a place and they're like, sorry, we're at capacity.
There's like a 15 minute wait. Right and and the bricks on the wall or that shiny white sort of tile brick oh the subway subway
that's right that's right all the delis that I go to the lettuce is they'll just
give you sandwich with a whole head of iceberg on chop it up yourself, you fat shit. What? You think you're so hot?
Well, I didn't say that.
I think you're hot.
Okay.
I take back what I said about Route 11.
I thought that they were a cheaper chip, but maybe they are a bougie one.
Maybe bougie one cheap.
That's true.
Pandemic.
Let me ask you this.
Speaking of Neil and Fran in Brooklyn, did you or did you not recently have a Trinidad sour in the very place where they were invented?
I've been busted.
Yeah.
We went to the Clover Club.
Fran took us there.
We had been out.
It was a Sunday.
We were sort of doing a boozy Sunday.
And Fran said, I'm going to surprise you two and take you somewhere.
So we went on a walk.
She says, it's a little long.
I said, we don't care.
We want to know the surprise. And we get on a walk. She says, it's a little long. I said, we don't care. We want to know the surprise.
And we get there, and I'm like, the Clover Club.
The Clover Club!
From the pod!
And we sat down outside, which is unfortunate, because inside, it looked really cool.
Oh, yeah.
From that week when we talked about the Trinidad Tower, looking at pictures, it felt like,
yeah, it was a cozy, classy, little, old-timey bar.
Like a little study.
Yeah, you want to be inside there.
And so we sat outside, and when the waiter came around, she said,
what do you want to drink?
And I said, oh, well, we'll have the Trinidad Sour.
She said, what's that?
I said, oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Did you send her a link to the pod?
No, I said-
You invented it, Lee!
I said, just go talk to the manager.
And when it came back, not as good as the one I made myself.
Wow.
Michael mixology.
That's most drinks.
You know, no one's going to live up to what you know.
Is Giuseppe Gonzalez hearing this right now?
Just red in the face, steam shooting out of his ears.
I'm fucking with my shit.
You don't fuck with me.
I'll tell you this.
Well, he's probably, he, A,
definitely trusts us,
but B,
Giuseppe doesn't live
in Brooklyn anymore.
He moved to Las Vegas
and runs a bar there.
So I think if anything,
he'll be mad
at the Clover Club
for tarnishing his creation.
Well, it's funny.
I read that too, Tim,
but while we were drinking there
and sipping our drinks,
I looked up
and a top window
in the Clover Club
sort of a curtain went to the side and a man wearing a half of a white mask was up there.
Yeah.
And he said, ooh.
I've never seen Phantom of the Opera, but he said, ooh.
And he closed the curtain.
So he said, ooh.
Wait, wait.
Yeah.
The message I deliver is, ooh.
I said, well, that doesn't seem right.
Let's get the bill.
I hate that when you're trying to enjoy your drink and you see a phantom of the bar.
Yeah, that sucks.
That's all I got for the booze news.
More chip news this time around.
That's very fruitful.
Chip ties into booze because the salty snack you love to crunch.
I think that you're having a clam-baked type of a peppery chip.
You want a nice light lager beer with that.
That's kind of what you do.
You know, like that Narragansett Summer type of thing you had, or a Sam Summer.
Yes.
It's a classic cruncher.
The Sam Summers or the Narragansett Summers, I guess we're still in booze news,
they don't necessarily taste different than the other versions of that brand,
but they say summer on it and you feel like you're doing something.
They do.
They got a citrusy pop to them.
That's true.
Not all of them.
Not all of them.
I'm thinking only of the Sam ones.
You know what we're coming up upon is the Budweiser cans
or any cans having a baseball team on it or an American flag.
Like the pinner season.
Yeah, pinner season's coming up.
I love any.
I will buy any novelty can.
Goof cans.
Goof cans.
Goof cans.
Goof bottles.
I'm looking forward to it.
I feel like I've been peeking to see.
At Albertsons, they really only have the Rams.
You know, like the local NFL team has made its way.
Football season.
Yeah.
And those are getting a little stanky.
But.
I like the idea of you just kind of strolling around like, I'm not buying today.
I'm just peeking.
Just checking.
Checking out.
Thank you.
Well, we have old football beers.
Great.
Well, let's wrap up BBB Booze News.
And let's talk about a certain well drink we've got a drink we got a fun drink today
we've got a drink that's a little bit of a novelty yeah you're not gonna find this on the
iba they're a little too stuffy for this sort of thing i this well we're doing the the flaming dr pepper that's right okay yes all right uh you had i've not had i've heard i heard
so long ago 20 years ago i feel like my brother told me about this and i was like we gotta do it
but i have never seen anyone have it it's more it's like folklore it's an urban legend you hear
about it and they say dude tastes, tastes exactly like Dr. Pepper.
Yeah.
Damn.
And as for me, no had, no heard.
No had, no heard.
Wow.
Just a complete idiot.
I've heard no had.
You've heard no had.
Heard no had.
But it was my, when we were doing the Irish shot, Guinness shot, my sister-in-law was there as you remember and she's like oh you guys
have to do the flaming dr pepper i said well what's going on with that and she told me about it
and uh i don't know if she ever had one before but somebody told her about him anyway
it's you light it on fire is the thing yeah you light a shot on fire and then drop it into a beer
and drink it yeah now when you sent out the recipe for this, I said, well, where's the Dr. Pepper?
But that's not the thing, is it?
Oh, and we laughed.
We started a side text chain saying,
he thinks there's fucking Dr. Pepper in this fucking guy.
And I blushed, and I kicked my feet together.
These guys were letting me have it.
I'm sorry, Jeff and any other listeners,
there ain't Dr. Pepper in this thing.
There's no Dr. Pepper in it.
What happens is, through the lighting and the dropping
and the drinking process, it tastes like Dr. Pepper, this. There's no Dr. Pepper in it. What happens is, through the lighting and the dropping and the drinking process,
it tastes like Dr. Pepper, to my understanding.
I'm excited to see, like,
oh my god, this thing that's not Dr. Pepper tastes like Dr. Pepper.
What,
I feel like Dr. Pepper has come up on
the pod before. Did we ever,
do people know what the
flavor of Dr. Pepper is, or is it just an
original creation by a soda company? 23 flavors,
they say. 23 flavors they say 23 flavors yeah
it's like stuff well for one of the guys who so the history of this thing is there's two bars
that claim to have invented it around the same time like 1986 ish so it's kind of a it's very
much a ecology type uh drink and it's not a shot remember we were kind of confused like oh this is
a shot yeah it's a bomb but i don't think you have to chug it quickly.
You probably do.
Which is nice, which is welcome.
But there's nothing that's going to curdle,
but I do think you're supposed to drink it fast.
Right, right, because it is like an initiation type shot.
Like, you're doing one of these.
But if you're enjoying it,
and you take a big sip,
and you say, I'm going to save some for later.
Yeah.
You can do that.
That's fine, too.
They're not going to throw you out of a bar for that.
So there's a place
in Texas.
So Texas is the home of Dr. Pepper.
It was embedded there.
Now there is a fucking guy.
Sorry.
This fucking guy. This fucking guy.
So there was a place called the, this is a weird
word. It's a word
that begins with PT.
PT Anderson.
Ptarmigan.
Parmadim Club.
Oh.
Parmadim.
Parmigan?
Doesn't it feel like when there's PT, you just say the T?
Yeah.
Ptarmigan.
Ptarmigan.
Ptarmigan Club.
Somewhere in college. Like pterodactyl.
Are there any words in this sentence that you can make out?
There are, but I'm just reading it off the fucking computer.
It's a Dr. Peeper?
What the?
In college, yeah, near the Texas A&M University.
Okay, Texas A&M.
Boom, we know that.
Luke Cermino opened this place in 1976.
It used to be like a brothel
turned bar, turned dive bar.
So he claims that he
invented it. He claims. There you go.
It's around a college. Makes sense.
Let's hear about the second place and then I'll make my
decision. Second place
is
back in 1986, the Goldmine
Saloon was in deep financial trouble and this place is back in 1986 the gold mine saloon was in deep financial trouble and this place is in
new orleans okay around the nissan it's around the same time it was around the same time later
in the 80s i'm gonna make my ruling and i think we should give credit to texas because new orleans
has too many drinks it's like new york they got them all why do you have to lay claim and it's
not even classy to try to be like no actually it's, it's us. It's like, let Texas have one fucking thing.
And Texas was sooner.
Well, Texas was sooner in this article.
I don't know if it was sooner.
As far as top to bottom as you were reading?
Yeah.
You said it first.
I said it first, but it didn't have a date on it in this article.
So you're going left to right, top to bottom.
Exactly.
Well, I guess I'm still going Texas, and I'm sort of like the New Orleans guy.
Like we mentioned, I cover a lot of the New Orleans. That's right. That's true. Never been there, but you have read about the grasshopper. them exactly exactly i guess i'm still going texas and i'm sort of like the new orleans guy like we
mentioned i cover a lot of the new orleans that's right that's true never been there but you have
read about the grasshopper about the goldmine saloon in new orleans jeff uh it was a laid-back
neighborhood bar with pool tables old school arcade machines and yes frequent frequented by
street magicians bikers hustlers and offbeat locals with the names like Fungus, Long-Haired Mike, and Peanut Butter Ron.
Long-Haired Mike?
Where are you reading this from?
Are you making these up?
I'm reading this off of PunchDrink.com.
So, 19-year-old guy Dave Brinks was running the gold mine during the summer.
And he was trying to come up with cool shots to help the bar out because they were in financial trouble.
Something to draw people in.
So he sat down and he's trying some stuff.
He made something called the Jet Fuel, the B-52, tons of different shots.
And he put some Amaretto in beer, and it kind of tastes a little bit like
Dr. Pepper.
And then he put the rum in it and he said, well, this tastes a lot more like
Dr. Pepper.
And then he lit the thing on fire, I guess.
He lost his fucking mind. I don't know who would think like yeah let's try that uh and then he says he invented the flaming
dr pepper well that is fascinating because i've talked about before how i love i love uh amaretto
specifically like disaronno is maybe the only one i've ever owned so i don't i'll try other ones
but i love the taste of it and i always thought that amaretto was almond flavor me too so so i
said like oh i love orgeat i love marzipan and i love like nougat i love anything that's almond
so that's why i love disa rona rono i looked it up it's fucking doesn't actually contain almonds it's apricot seeds or something
like that yes apricot kernels and but listen to this burnt sugar so that that caramelized taste
it would make sense that we've for this guy noodling with ingredients, when he lit that rum on fire, he got that kind of,
that double activation thing going on.
Ooh.
Huh.
And I can't imagine he knew it was going on.
It just sort of like he was trying stuff out.
Oh, he's drunk out of his mind.
He's desperate.
He's trying to save the bar
coming up with crazy shots.
And then the drink just kind of
caught like wildfire.
Understand what I'm talking about here.
All over college campuses.
And there we go.
We got the Flamin' Dr. Pepper.
Wow.
Damn.
And this is, so this is a drink.
So this one is pretty easy.
Eight ounces of beer.
Check.
Ooh.
Three, three-fourths an ounce Amaretto.
Got it.
Nice.
One-fourth ounce overproof rum.
That's where your 151.
Okay.
Well, 151 is discontinued, Mike.
So it's gotta be something else.
Well, we got a Gosling 151.
Perfect.
Yeah.
And, uh, forget what the Amaretto is.
Well, that's funny that they would have 151 also.
There's something about that specific proof that must be.
They were all 151s.
Uh, like everything had 151, except there was also a 161.
The guy at Scrap and Cork was like, that's jet fuel.
So why was Bacardi, to my understanding, Bacardi 151 was canceled because of the 151.
And you mean to tell me that these other people are doing 151s?
Well, I wonder if now 151 is just a name that means high level, high proof.
And hopefully this thing will light on fire.
We don't know.
You know, I could be wrong about 151 being discontinued.
No, it is.
I just Googled it now.
Oh, it looks like it's for sale for like $300 and $400.
So these are probably-
Dusty old bottle.
Used bottle.
Yep, dusty old bottle.
Vintage.
Vintage.
But yeah, 151 is always like, if you're at like a freak show and you see a fire eater
blow fire, that's like 151.
So what you're going to do with this guy, you take all those ingredients, fill a pint
glass halfway with the beer, add the amaretto to a shot glass and top with the rum.
So the amaretto is going to be heavier.
It sounds like the rum is going to sit on top.
Then you set the rum on fire and very carefully drop it going to be heavier it sounds like. And the rum is going to sit on top. Then you set the rum
on fire and very carefully drop it
the shot glass into the beer.
Very carefully. I want to splash down.
You can probably do a little splash. Just don't burn yourself.
And then you
enjoy. And this one doesn't say
drink quickly the way the Guinness shot said
to do that. Great.
Do you think that we have to
do that? To layer the shot? Do you think we have to put
a little upside down spoon there
and pour gently to separate or were they
naturally going to separate? I think the 151 will just sit
on top if you do it last. Yeah, we can
try. If it starts to look like it's sinking now,
we can start to go whoopsies.
And as long as there's enough 151 in there
to light on fire, that's what you want.
Damn, dude. I didn't
think about this. but it's good.
Is this why we're sitting outside?
Is that there's fire?
Or did we just...
Well, I think just because
of the splash effect.
We're sitting outside, Chris.
It's nice.
You know what else is nice?
Somebody's grilling out here.
You smell it?
I'm smelling that, too.
It smells like a sausage.
It smells like a sweet Italian sausage
with an onion and a green pepper.
We'll trade you.
There's Tony fucking Sopranos over there with his prescriptions. No, let's not
get into that. Let's not. We gotta take a little break.
Let's take a break. We'll come back. We'll have
more Sloppy Boys. More sausage talk.
I'll finish cooking the sausages. Peace.
Listen up, Slopheads.
Lucy Nicotine is a company founded
by big-brained Caltech scientists and former smokers.
Finally, there's a better, cleaner tobacco alternative that doesn't, well, quite frankly, suck.
Their gums come in wintergreen, cinnamon, and pomegranate.
And as for their lozenges, well, those come in cherry ice, citrus, and mint.
Lucy lozenges and gums are FSA and HSA eligible, so you can use your FSA cards to purchase Lucy
now. And it's convenient and discreet. Products can be enjoyed anywhere, on flights, at work,
on the go, even in the gym. My uncle Darius Dutton is going to
love these. He's a lifelong smoker, but look, you're not going to find a cigarette that tastes
like cinnamon or pomegranate. It's a superior taste, folks. And look at the flip side. There's
a reason there isn't a cigarette flavored gum. Make the switch. It's 2021. Get rid of the
cigarettes, unplug your vape, throw out your dip,
chuck your Sherlock Holmes pipe Watson, and get some Lucy nicotine gum or lozenges.
This is the real deal.
A subscription to Lucy comes directly to your door each month.
It's so simple.
And you don't have to leave your house because Lucy has delivery down.

That's lucy.co. Check it out and make the switch. here we are with half beers we roll lighters poised to light yeah okay so hold on uh we're
gonna light our lighters we're gonna hold them up to our
shot glasses the rum's gonna catch on fire how long do we let it burn for and furthermore do we
blow it out or do we let the dropping action put the that feels that i believe the dropping action
puts it out yeah i want to drop a flame into my beer okay how much are you guys using the table
there's a lot i'm taking my stuff up yeah i up yeah I'm gonna light it and then pick up the flaming shot and drop it and go here we go
lighting
I'm not lighting I'm fucking not lighting actually I know it is it's just
really blue and pale oh yeah I got we outdoors, so we can't really see it.
Okay. Oh yeah, that is lit.
Ready? Yep.
Is mine lit? Mine ain't lit.
It is. You're getting wavy lines, Tim.
You're lit, dude. I'm lit! Nice!
Ready? Here we go.
Hey-hey-yo, bombs all
lit!
Oh yeah, that's delicious. Oh, yeah.
That's delicious.
We're going to need to do a lot of these.
That does taste a little bit like Dr. Pepper.
Especially as you get down to the fun syrupy stuff.
I couldn't finish my whole thing.
My first steps were like, beer, beer, beer, Dr. Pepper.
It's a fun thing to have a hot thing there, too, because my shot glass was still kind of hot when it hit my lip.
Now I'm getting the oh shit man.
I immediately panicked because I
dropped from too high because I was being stupid
and I splashed and I thought of all
the microphones and the computers and I went ah!
The tech!
But I actually looked kind of cool while I was doing it.
Alright. Very good.
That was fun.
What do you think?
I think it's absolutely delicious.
I don't know if you need to chug it, but it's fun for the pageantry.
Yeah.
But here's what I did.
I just, you know, I had a little bit left because I couldn't chug it all.
I just poured the rest of my beer into this.
Damn, that's what I should have done.
Yeah, you know, like, I feel like it was great, and drinking it fast is fun, but hey, if you
stirred it, it would taste the same all the way through.
You'd have, like, a better, more consistent drink.
I feel like I had beer, beer, beer, and then Dr. Pepper at the end.
Yeah.
I wonder if you could, if you put it all in the beer and the Amaretto and the rum, if
they would separate the same way, you can just light the top of the
beer on fire. That could be cool.
I think that if I did a second round, I would put
more rum just to ensure a nice big flame.
Right. But what do you think about
the Dr. Pepper of it all?
I love
amaretto, so I don't care whether or not this tastes
like Dr. Pepper. I just was drinking a beer
with a splash of amaretto at the end, but
I do think that it is Dr. Pepper-esque. It's convincing. Yeah. At the very end,
I was convinced. And maybe if you're a college kid who doesn't-
You've never had Dr. Pepper, so you just go with it.
No, but who's, I mean, who drinks Amaretto? I didn't have Amaretto until like
the last five years of my life. I don't know if I've knowingly had Amaretto.
This is my first Amaretto. It's something that, like, old Italian guys
have after dinner is a little, like,
small pour. Oh, a digestif.
Yeah, a digestif. This is 24% alcohol,
48 proof. So,
I don't know how much it is about the
burning and the combination
as much as just college kids
at Texas A&M were not
little old Italian bocce ball guys
drinking this stuff. Now that we're allM, we're not little Italian bocce ball guys drinking this stuff.
Now that we're all together, we can take sips from these bottles and pass them around.
Oh, yeah.
Unvaxxed sips.
Kidding.
We're all vaxxed.
We're all vaxxed.
How is?
I mean, that's Dr. Pepper.
This is Lazzaroni Amaretto
It's good
Good stuff
Oh yeah
That's like a
That's like a gamier
Dr. Pepper
A thicker Dr. Pepper
Yeah
I mean
Wow
Tim's doing a whole shot
I was gonna do
I mean I love this shit
I'm into it
I mean
Add that to anything
And it'll taste like Dr. Pepper
I don't know how much
The rum and the beer is doing
This Lazzaroni
Has a little bit of
A raunchier flavor Than my beloved di serrano but i like it
it's like i'll take a little more um it tastes more like you know something that has 27 herbs
in it rather than just two and ten that rum that 151 gosling rum is like mike just took a big old
swig yeah that's tough um i'll do that. And it's covered
in frost. Straight out the freezer.
I love it. That's funny to light something
that's cold on fire.
Fire and ice Hanford.
I kind of like that.
I might use that. Oh, shit.
Ooh. I gotta say
that was...
The lighting it on fire was
like Jeff was saying, we were all lit, but you couldn't see the flame. Oh, we're a... Tim? Mm-hmm. The lighting it on fire was, like Jeff was saying, like we were all lit, but you couldn't
see the flame.
Oh, we're little, right?
It was sort of a fire sort of situation.
Yeah.
Oh, pow!
As Beavis might say.
Mm-hmm.
Oh!
And his little toady butthead.
151 is...
That's a real burn.
That's crazy.
I was smug because, you you know at our tequila tasting we
learned that you exhale you take a sip and then you blow out right away yep then you don't get
the burn but you keep the flavor so i was i was thinking like oh 151 i'll just blow out and it
didn't matter i was blowing out a burn i feel like it's on fire i feel like i learned the blowout
technique hey sloppy boys blowout.
Hey, patrons. Even before that little class, that was always my move whenever I had some nasty ass vodka.
Until Tito's came around, I hated vodka.
It's funny.
Vodka is so popular and so ever-present, but vodka shots are weird.
No one does them except for Russian people, but I actually don't think they throw them back.
I think they just sip a little shot.
Because like Russian vodka, from what I've heard, is very, doesn't taste like the vodka here.
Like it's, you can sip it like a wine.
What about Russian standard?
That I don't know.
Remember, we made branded videos for Russian standard.
Oh, yes.
But didn't they say like Russian people don't chill it?
Like we were like, yeah, it comes right out of the freezer.
No, you don't do that.
No, we don't do this.
That was one where we did some videos for Funny or Die for Russian Standard,
and they never saw the light of day because the CEO was on set,
and he gave so many notes.
We had to reshoot an entire half day and he gave so many notes in post that it was ultimately
a loss.
That happens all the time in branded stuff because they have like infinite money.
I mean, Russian standard vodka, I don't know, but like they have so much money that eating
200 grand is just like, yeah, we do that all the time.
This Amaretto does kind of,'s it's interesting have you guys had
disaronno i can't i can't say that's just a brand it's just a brand a brand but it's like um
it's the most popular amaretto and it's sort of like it just tastes like a syrup that you
would pour on pancakes or something whereas this one is is more like of a liqueur but
disaronno um i was looking it up and it said it
used to be called until 2001 it was called like amaretto di serono because serono is a place in
italy where it's made of serono like da vinci exactly all my favorite art is of a vinci yeah
i don't care about who made it yeah yeah um yeah, yeah. Yeah, Vinci's got good stuff. But then when they rebranded to Di Serrano Originao,
that's when they came out.
Do you remember a sexy commercial?
I remember them all, Tim.
Which one was it?
Very similar to the Applebee's sexy commercial
we talked about a few weeks ago,
but there's a legendary commercial
where it's like a lady is like,
well, first off, the bartender is giving people all their Di Serrano drinks as if it's a bar full of people where everyone's like a lady is like, well, first off, the bartender is giving people all
their Di Serrano drinks as if it's a bar full of people where everyone ordered like, Di Serrano
neat, Di Serrano margarita. Rocks, please. Yeah. He's got a whole tray of Di Serrano drinks. But
then some model comes up and she's like, Di Serrano on the rocks. And he's like, yeah,
that's right. And he gives her Di Serrano on the rocks and she drinks it. He's like, yeah, that's right. And he gives her a diesel run on the rocks and she drinks it.
He's like, yeah, there you go.
You're welcome.
And she goes, wait.
And then she like takes out an ice cube and she like rubs it around her lips.
And it's just like, what is going on?
Why is this?
I've seen the longer cut of that.
And she walks out of the bar and he's like, and then he takes a scoop of ice and puts it down his pants and it goes and steam fills the screen but then he looks down and he goes the ice missed my dick oh wow i got hot knees i forgot to mention as well each cube plummeted right past
his dick and then when the steam all settles uh there's a woman standing in front of him. He's like, oh, my mother-in-law.
What do you want, babs?
I told my daughter she should have never married a hot-kneed fuck.
Guys, let's do another one of these fucking things.
I'll do another one.
I'm doing it with more rum.
Folks, we'll be back.
We're prepped, folks.
This is number two.
And we don't condone this type of quick drinking.
This is a bad idea.
No, it'll get you drunk.
Jeffy likes it.
But with all the flames,
just, folks, be careful out there. Don't do these
while you're driving, that's for sure.
Okay, lighting it.
See, again, no light.
Oh, no, it's lit.
Yeah, it is lit. That's crazy.
How? Do you see, like,
hold it up
to something there, Tim. You can see can see like the wavy heat lines.
Yep, hold up. But that's not enough. Heyyyy. No it is.
Yeah you're going there. Tim, Tim, you look like, to me you look like it's a blaze.
Shall we? Yeah let's do it.
3, 2, 1! Bob's up! 3, 2, 1, kaboosh!
I'm gonna give it a little swirl.
Whoa, excuse me.
Yeah, you really?
You're smart to swirl because I really am getting like beer, beer, beer,
gaboom, and a big syrupy splash.
It is delicious.
Jeff Dutton, hashtag smart to swirl.
If you think Jeff's good at swirling, hashtag smart to swirl and tagff dutton hashtag smart to swirl if you think jeff's good at swirling
hashtag smart to swirl and tag jeff dutton we want to see how you swirl how do you swirl
oh oh that was good because this time my beer i splashed both times i i dropped my glass my shot glass too hard but the foam became a dr pepper foam that's nice oh
yep you ever you ever call someone on a dr pepper phone yeah dr pepper
hey dr pepper yeah i got diabetes man from all these drinks
um this is fun this is a fun one yeah I'm still sipping It's fun being here
With you guys
In the summer heat
We got the
Plopping drinks around
They're calling it
The slop boys summer
The sloppers are bad
That's what they're calling it
Chet Hanks is calling it that
Chet Hanks is relentless
With it
Hey guys
You know what you should do
You know what you should do
Hey you know what you should do
You should go
To slop boys summer
Marlon Brando?
Apparently. I think he learned acting
from Brando. Oh, Brando could
act. Oh, he could act. That's true,
but you don't want to learn acting
from Brando and then just do Brando's voice.
You want to learn the craft and then put it to your
own use. Yeah, somebody could learn
acting from me.
That wasn't very good. I'll give him
a prescription he can't use.
Oh, yeah.
Now I'm starting to think it's coming together.
I am happy with, Mike, you being out here, obviously.
But also, as things are opening up, here's what the scene looks like in California.
Mid-COVID, I was like, man, when things open up, I'm going to go out, out, out.
I'm going to get brunch over here.
I'm a town.
The true slopheads know what I'm talking about. Yeah, true slopheads know. And I'm going to stay out. I'm going to get brunch over here. I'm a town. The true slopheads know what I'm talking about.
True slopheads know. And I'm going to stay out.
I'm going to go out for brunch. I'm going to go with drinks
over here. I'm going to get dinner over here. And I've been
doing that all weekend, every weekend,
and it's been fucking me up.
Well, are you staying out for as long?
I feel like I've been going
out a lot, but I
don't feel like I have the stamina
to stay out too long. I'm not going bar to bar to bar.
I'm like out for 90 minutes and I'm like, get me home.
I'm in bed at eight, up at five.
My Saturdays the last two weekends have been like, I'm starting at an outdoor party at
noon and then I might take like a weird disco nap at four and then going out and staying
out until midnight.
Is a disco nap referring to like the drug scene?
Generally, it's more like cocaine related, but it's like a nap so that you can keep partying.
Right, right, right, right.
I can't do that because I'll go into a deep sleep and that ruins me.
I remember that was such a kind of thing in our, you know, mid-20s.
I feel like I would be like so exhausted from shitty day jobs, but then wanting to go out and do something on a Friday night.
But I like that doing the of, is it too late?
You know, if it's like five, you can take a nap.
But when it's seven, I'm like, just 20 minutes.
Yeah, yeah.
When I flew in here a couple nights ago, I was still jet lagged.
And when we went out for pizza and beers that night, I was dead on my feet.
I was just kind of wobbling.
Wobbling. pizza and like beers that night i was like dead on my feet i was just kind of like wobbling well that was also we did a we did a double pizza we did a pizza walk where we started at a pizza truck and walked to a second pizza location and the second one an hour away was not open so second
location it was a pizza whiff um so i poured my beer into my shot that I finished,
but now look at the foam on this thing.
It's like a toasted marshmallow.
Yeah, it's like when you have a root beer float.
Oh.
You got some nice antiquing going on around the rim of that.
You could sell that at a flea market for a long time.
I would love to get on Antiques Roadshow and say, yeah, you know, you want to buy this? What's this worth? It's about 40 cents rim of that. You could sell that at a flea market for a long time. I would love to get on Antiques Roadshow and say,
yeah, you know, you want to buy this?
What's this worth?
It's about 40 cents worth of milk.
I'm drinking.
Hey, bringing it back to day drinking,
which I feel like is the name of the game for the summer.
Yeah.
I'm not a good day drinker.
I have a few beers in the day and I'm sleeping.
Mike, you're saying you're not good at it,
but the implication is that then you have to do something that night.
I've come full circle where like,
that's the thing I would,
if,
if I could go to a place and have a four o'clock margaritas and just make
that the night,
I don't care if I crap out.
I I'm so my favorite thing to do is to be secretly buzzed and walking around
a place where other people aren't drunk.
That's an alcoholic.
Well,
maintain it.
Even from my wife. I like to keep it a secret.
You can put any labels on it you want.
But I mean, I did think about it during COVID that it almost crystallized that we, me and
Jessica would just, I'd fill up Nalgene bottles with like gin and tonics and we'd go for a
walk and I'd be like, this is the most fun thing ever.
And it reminds me of being on vacation, but I'm just in my own neighborhood.
Well, that would be, I imagine you'd be doing it around this time where the sun is sort
of going down here.
This is looking great, by the way.
The sun sort of setting.
That's a nice, you're walking around kind of catching a sweet buzz.
But you especially, it's fun to be, you know, at a music festival or a baseball game where
like there's a lot of people drinking, but I like to be sneaky drunk where you're just
walking around and you say, hi, can i have a slice of pizza and they're like
here you go and he didn't even know he didn't know he didn't know that fool he didn't know i can't
try complete moron um here's my special here's a technique that any of you can use any any
slophead could use do you remember when we played the Cortica Jug show?
In LA.
Mm-hmm.
Cortical.
Cortical.
Yeah.
So, okay.
Ithaca, our alma mater.
I think we just say we played a show early in the morning.
Rather than go into all the details about how it's a, our college's football game?
Right.
I think that's all done.
No, no, no.
Wait a second.
No, no, no.
Because there's a reason it's so goddamn
early which is part of the point okay okay so there's an i will shut up yeah uh there's an
east coast football game that ithaca plays against courtland for whatever reason ithaca alums or
ithaca interns in la still wake up to watch it but it's all the more earlier on the West Coast. Yep. And we got invited one time to play the after party or whatever.
Right after the game, there was a bar.
And it starts so early that after the game was 10 in the morning or something.
So we started playing at a bar in Hollywood.
And so when you think of day drinking,
you might think of something in the PMs still.
What I recommend is you go for as early as like kegs and eggs. You do a 10 AM, 11 AM,
and then that way you can fully have an experience. You can have two days in one day.
Two days in one day. You have a full arc and then you lay low and then you have another arc at night.
You know, when people say kegs and then you have another arc at night you know
when people say kegs and eggs or wake and bake do you think those things happened with the rhyme
first and then they were like let's figure out how this works yeah i think there was a world where
people didn't like weed and they didn't like beer but they loved rhymes yeah and then they're like
we got out we need a catchy we need johnny cochran on the case. There's also a college thing I've heard of but never seen done and it sounds disgusting,
which is beerios where you put beer in Cheerios.
That's not real.
That can't be real.
I don't like that shit.
I also, the kegs and eggs thing, I've mainly done like actual morning, morning drinking,
not counting like a breakfast, like a brunchy Bloody Mary, but like to get drunk in the morning,
I've maybe done that less than,
maybe three times in my whole life
to wake up and get drunk.
Yeah.
Well, Tim, you've been to our Bloody Mary,
our legendary Bloody Mary brunches.
Yeah, but those are industry heavy.
So I sort of want to be able to,
hey, thanks so much.
You read my screenplay.
Oh.
Yeah, you're just doing a seltzer
with a little bit of a grenadine. And I'm kind of like hustling everybody. Oh read my screenplay. Oh. Yeah, you're just doing a seltzer with a little bit of grenadine.
And I'm kind of like
hustling everybody.
Oh, I'm so tipsy.
But anyway,
did I send you my pilot?
Yeah, you're like,
oh, Mike,
meet William Morris.
Hello, sir.
Do you want some eggs?
I want some kegs.
I can't.
I'm too drunk, my boy.
Is that William?
Yes.
Yes. Get me out? Yes. Yes.
Get me out of here.
Hey, speaking of famous people and show business,
do you guys, have you heard this?
You know how like when the Beatles came up with Yesterday,
Paul McCartney did Scrambled Eggs.
Also speaking of Scrambled Eggs.
Scrambled Eggs.
Those were the temp lyrics he came up with yes well when bowie and uh uh freddie mercury got together oh sure
yeah yeah they were just sort of sort of uh
they were just sort of recording stuff and uh playing around with some music ideas that ended
up being a song a famous song but um
i don't know if i know this song you'll recognize i think when i when i okay you're gonna play
something i'll play it for you uh but i got a a very uh well let me find it here a very sort of
exclusive i i somebody the rock and roll hall of fame owed me a favor and uh i got
an early recording of a song that bowie and uh oh my god mercury did together so cool yeah it
was apparently this thing where they were it had what they were having these drinks uh a lot i
guess it was a big part of their uh thing and they also had, like, an event that day that they had to go to.
But you'll see what I'm talking about.
But here it is.
Sure.
Oh.
I know this song, yeah.
So, like, this is classic.
I know this song.
Yeah, you know this song.
I didn't know Bowie was involved.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
The early version.
I thought it was like a vanilla ice type.
Dr. Pepper, flame and drink for me.
I made one for you, Fred Mercury.
Dr. Pepper, we'll drink these down.
I'll make another round. And then we'll drink these down. I'll make another round.
And then we'll go meet some good friends of ours.
They just got engaged.
We're taking them to dinner and a Broadway play.
It's the terror of knowing that you want to bail out.
Drank too many flaming peppers for you.
Hell no. Wanna bail out Drank too many flaming peppers for you Count out
But we made plans
And they're waiting
Cause they're nice people
That we have to meet
Too many drinks
I can't drive man
Should've eaten more
Than a light lunch
We're gonna have to walk in, it's like three miles or four This is the part that feels recognized from the real version
So that made it into the final cut
Yeah, this part only
La, la, la, la, la, la
Cause we missed their engagement and we've already cancelled La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, Give them, give them, give them a gift card to Starbucks. Because that's way too cheesy.
They know we have money.
Let's make a flaming.
Dr. Pepper.
Oh, comes back around.
Dr. Pepper.
It's beautiful.
Yeah.
In its way.
Two more each.
I think I have two more.
Hey, that gives me an idea.
Let's stay home.
Good idea from the Mercury Man.
Stay right here.
I'll go fetch the Amarato.
Wow.
Yeah, they decided to not go to their friend's engagement dinner
that they were taking them out to.
You know, I've said before on the podcast that I love specific lyrics
and like very like proper nouns and specificity.
But this version is like almost too,
it's not relatable unless you're in that exact same situation.
Yeah, no, those guys, I mean, they're smart rock and rollers.
They're businessmen too.
They realized that that wouldn't sell.
And you look at the lyrics of the real song under pressure for those who couldn't recognize it.
It's more general.
Very general.
People in the streets, love, love, love.
Doesn't make sense.
But, yeah, this was...
They were going out to...
It doesn't make sense.
Going out to meet some friends who just got engaged.
They ended up having way too many Dr. Pepper shots.
I mean, we had two of them.
I couldn't drive right now.
No, and it's so weird that they,
like speaking of how specific you can get in a rock song,
I feel like maybe the soda Dr. Pepper is safe to reference,
but flaming Dr. Pepper, the novelty alcohol drink.
Yeah, that doesn't contain any Dr. Pepper.
No, and that like none of us had had until just now.
It just feels like really obscure.
I would absolutely love to find out when this was recorded
and sort of line it up with when the drink was invented
because if the drink was in 86,
I don't know if that works.
These might be the first guys who had the flaming.
This could be a prescient sort of song,
you know, like Tupac predicted his own death.
Or it's also possible that this recording is inauthentic.
Yeah, maybe.
But my friend, where'd you get this?
Do you know John Gates?
John Gates?
No, Matt Gates.
No, John Gates.
He works over at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
He owed me a favor.
Oh, he owed you a favor.
So what did you do in order to be owed a favor?
Well, I freaking, I took his kids to summer camp. hall of fame. He owed me a favor. Oh, he owed you a favor. So what did you do in order to be owed a favor? Wow.
I freaking, I took his kids to summer camp.
No, no, this is a big deal.
And that's not a big deal. I can drive them two hours away to upstate Maine.
It was up there.
It was a little more than two hours.
So it wasn't like downtown downstate Maine.
No, it was up there.
I mean, we're a stone's throw from the border.
And then they're like, hey, we're kind of short on counselors.
Can you stay?
Oh, no.
And I'm the fucking nicest guy.
So I said, yeah, I'll stay.
Classic.
This is two months I'm up there teaching the swimming.
And so, yeah, he owed me one.
When you bring your friend's kids to summer camp, you want to make it clear, like, I'll drop them off and then I'll go have my own summer.
You don't want to stay there and teach them canoeing
and whittling. No, archery
and pottery. I said to John,
I fucking love John. If you're listening,
John, I love you. I said,
these kids are fucking 16, 17.
They don't need to be going to camp.
And if they are, they should be CITs.
Counselor training.
Let them drive. These kids are
fucking CIT material.
Well, anyway.
So that's, yeah.
The Merc Man and the Bowie Mowie.
That's, hey.
What does Mowie mean?
It's short for Mercury.
Oh.
There you go.
His friend's last name.
That's so weird.
The Merc.
Because Freddie Mercury has the Merc Man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then also part of David Bowie's nickname is Freddie Mercury.
Yeah, well, they spend so much time together.
Yeah.
It's just unfair that he gets like kind of three quarters of their total nicknames.
That's when people call me the J-Man Handman.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, the J-Man I thought was the man part was taken from handman.
Well, until people are like, hey, it's the J-Man Handman.
I'm like, well, there's two of them two of them yeah well what do you guys say we do one last flaming doctor i don't
think there's a way to do like a half one either because no you gotta go full you gotta go you
gotta lick you gotta light the thing up yeah and and you gotta be able to submerge the shot
in the beer okay it's a liquid thing. All right. Folks, we'll be back.
Yours was more visible last time.
I had the identical experience as the first time, which was like, it's not lighting.
Oh, there it is.
It's because it's daytime.
If it was nighttime or in a bar,
you'd be able to see that cool blue flame.
See, Mike, you're good.
I can see it.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, put your hand over it.
That's a good test.
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
Do not do that at home, folks.
No, but I was like no flame,
and then I put my hand over and burnt my hand.
Yeah.
And that's a high.
Oh.
That's a high flame. Oh, okay. That's how you know. That's how you know we solved the case. That's how hand over and burnt my hand. Yeah. And it's a high... Oh! Okay, that's how you know.
That's how you know we solved the case. That's how you know you burned your hand.
