Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton along with Mike Hanford. I'm still eating dinner. And Tim Kalpakis. What is up? And we're your hosts the Sloppy Boys. Mike, now, typically when you eat dinner, it's a large plate of fusilli pasta. What do you got today? Today? My curious little culinary friend. I did a salad, simple salad, arugula spinach mix with tomato and a little, just a little bit, a little bit of light blue cheese.

You chop up that tomato yourself? Yeah, it's a little cherries. I sliced them in half, little cherry tomatoes. This week, two days ago, in my pressure cooker, I made a whole chicken. Beacon of feathers and talons and everything. Sometimes I feel like this podcast is a pressure cooker. Jesus Christ. What are they going to say next?

So that is now, I ate that for my first meal, and now I'm just kind of like eating the chicken on everything. So I had some chicken and steamed broccoli, and I'll tell you what else I started doing. Go get yourself some dates, cut them up into little small pieces, fry those a little bit, and mix them. I mix that in with the broccoli.

Fantastic. With the broccoli? Yep, broccoli and fried date. I've never heard of such a combo. I just don't know. He's a pioneer, folks. What do you mean you just don't know? Broccoli's not so great on its own, and then you add the sweet dates. It gives it a pioneer, folks. What do you mean you just don't know? Broccoli's not so great on its own.

And then you add the sweet dates. It gives it a sweet candy flavor. I think it's an incorrect pairing. You need a bacon-wrapped date. You ever have one of those? Yes. Oh, fuck, those are good. All right, well, I'm not going to win you two on this one.

Well, here, I want to hear more about this bird and the pressure. When you say pressure cooker, you mean a slow cooker? Or you mean a pressure cooker? An instant pot. Oh, I don't know what that is. It's not a slow cooker. That's a hot item. Those instant pots are very internet-y, and everyone's very into them.

Yeah, I think they were huge two years ago, but I just got on the bandwagon, and I love it. You just finished downloading the article. See, as soon as I'm getting into instant pots, now everybody's about air fryers. Now I got to get an air fryer. I'll save you some time on the air fryer, Jay, because I have one and I love it, but it is not frying. I use it.

Let's say you got some Brussels sprouts. You want to get them kind of roasty toasty like at a gastropub. I do. You can do that real fast without fucking with your uh oven you know that type of thing is good but calling it frying is a bit of a stretch i've you know you're not going to get french fries that are brown and crispy right maybe white yeah yeah the that's the thing these days everyone wants it fast fast fast we download our uh a podcast yes we want our our new it fast, fast, fast. We download our podcast fast.

We want our new releases fast, fast, fast. Same thing. It's bleeding into the kitchen. It used to be you'd sit in the kitchen all day with your family and friends and cook up a meal you'd eat two days later. Now, boom, chicken in 45 minutes. Hey, can I say something for once about food?

You were talking about salad and you mentioned arugula. I got really into arugula baby arugula is very floral and fragrant fragrant and i've been having salads it's just arugula olive oil salt oh no you're probably thinking tim the vinegar the lemon the acid doesn't need it it's already kind of an acidic tim flea you know what i that's that's my fucking breakfast every day but i put two soft-boiled eggs in there whoa well now i feel like a fucking fool you've talked to me that was uh yeah i just had just one piece of arugula and you're right on its

own that's uh it's just one piece got enough flavor yeah and the salt on a salad is a good move people don't do that yeah nice big crunchy salt and because arugula will put a little pot you know if you go to like father's office or a fancy burger place that's a secret weapon on a fancy burger but i'll take it straight to the dome here's a question for you they got they got powdered sugar we all know that word they have powdered salt they fucking do they do They do? Really? I think so. Well, they have extra coarse. They might as well have extra fine.

They might as well have the other way. They have the exact opposite. When they were making it coarse, they must have knocked off some powder. No, I swear we came across an extra fine salt. Where did we find it? Well, I think that coarse, if you think of when they make a grain of coarse salt, they take a big rock of salt and then they sharpen it on a bandsaw there so there's gonna be kind of the dust that's coming off yeah like silt like a fine silt yeah yeah breathe it in i swore that like on the pod for a drink or something we came across like an ultra fine salt gotta be anyway i saw i saw salt once wearing um a very tight dress and high heels i was like

oh that salt is fine yep yep uh the angelina jolie movie that's right that is correct my man yeah i remember wait what's the angelina jolie movie salt oh salt is fine is that what if then why did you bring up a salt wearing high heels in a dress because like like something be like a fine fine looking fine okay looking looking fine looking fine oh I just hit my ankle let's get the booze news okay oh shit we gotta rush hit it've got to cover us. Ow! Ow! I want to know about the seltzers. What's the deal with the new website?

I'd be a better at this shit, right? Yeah, they better get this shit right. I'd be a better at this shit, right? Yeah, they better get this shit right. Or else I'm going to liquor.com. Yeah, I'm going to liquor.com. Or else I'm going to liquor.com. Yeah, I'm going to liquor.com. Or else I'm going to liquor.com. Yeah, I'm going to liquor.com.

Yeah, I'm going to liquor.com. Whoa! Okay! Yeah. Not a lot of themes take a solo break, huh? Yeah, right. Just really luxuriating in his time here. And the wheels are coming off.

Off he goes. Okay. I love that. Oh, man. He didn't even end with a... He didn't need to... He chose not to say it's booze, news, you, something. But I like this because people say, what is punk rock? You know, it's three chords and the truth, right?

This song was... When he's rocking out, I'm getting three chords and I'm getting the truth is IBAworld.com, you better get your shit right because you're... When we click yes that we're 21 and do we want to enter your site it freezes and we have to reload and we will go to liquor.com if you don't make this right yeah man we will move on the balls of this dude to call out the guiding light of our entire podcast hold them accountable i love it i like that yeah speaking truth to power that was efren ramos and if you've got a booze news theme send

it to the sloppy boys at no that's the sloppy boys podcast there you go calm thank you well what's the actual booze news who's got it i've got it and it's big uh remember mike was tracking uh pepsi uh-huh yes oh yeah he's still yeah he's wearing himself out i i see you got my file no no no i had it i had it he crapped out i've seen that file it's in tatters i think i i think i even announced on the on this very booze news podcast that i said i'm i'm done yeah drill went cold i understand why because because pepsi starting last fall they were they were being real coy boys about whether or not they were gonna get into the booze because they were like remember they put out a press release it was like

we're thinking about having a hard seltzer. And then they followed up and they're like, we decided not to. Yeah, that was the final touch that we had. Well, there was one more with Neon Zebra where they're like, we're not doing booze, but we're doing cocktail mixers. So that's kind of close. And I've never seen Neon Zebra out anywhere, so maybe that didn't really happen. But huge news took the internet by storm recently yes pepsico owner of many of your favorite sodas has partnered with the boston beer company for a collab boston does um sam adams truly angry orchard a bunch of that type of stuff

and they have released hard Mountain Dew. Woo! It's out there. Have you seen it yet? No, and I've checked the shelves, but, I mean, it was all over Twitter and Instagram, but I can't find it. It's a few flavors, like Black Cherry Watermelon, who cares, but the original Mountain Dew flavor, that's interesting to me.

It's 5% ABV, but here's the catch and this is again more kind of koi boy shit no caffeine because they're not allowed to do like a four loco e type thing it makes people drive they feel awake so they kind of had to wimp out on that front but they still wanted to use the Mountain Dew name. But why not? Like, why can't any, I feel like there's all these limitations that people bump up against. If,

if Pabst can have hard coffee, why can't Mountain Dew have some caffeine, caffeine in it? Also for the longest time, there was this reticence for these established brands like pepsi and mountain dew to even do anything with alcohol in it there's just so much red tape and there's so much pent-up emotion about this stuff somebody just do what you want for once we'll be there for you they're acting like we can't just like drink a beer and drink a mountain dew like

we can combine them in our stomachs all we want. Why is it when they're in one can, it's like, well, well, well. We're like, well, we can't have all the fun. Going even further, like, you can just drink and drive if you want. You can, yeah. I mean, the police don't love it. You shouldn't. People get hurt, but it's doable.

We don't condone it. No. You know what? I wonder if the difference there jeff is because the coffee beer has a natural element to it with the coffee whereas any of this stuff is all cooked up choosing to plug it in there it might also just be with like maybe paps doesn't mind getting sued but like pepsi is like america's brand and maybe they have to be more disney about it just because they're so huge so you're saying you're saying paps is out there looking for a

little trouble i'm saying that i wish paps was more papsi pepsi peps blue written well the pepsi was pepsi and i don't even have an end to that it's tough to it is tough people think that that's easy but it's actually to make up a pepsi paps Pepsi and I don't even have an idea of that. It's tough, Tim. It is tough. People think that that's easy, but it's actually... To make up a Pepsi Pabst rhyme. People always talk about it. Hold on, Tim. What about the alcoholic Topo Chico? That's under Pepsi's umbrella, no?

You're right. Pepsi owns Topo. And I was crushing some hard Topos the other day and I'll tell you, I recognize the seltzer that's what's great about it like the flavors they're good the flavors are good and and but they're not hugely different than the other seltzers but but it's got those tiny little bubbles and i'm like oh they use topo as the base truly like it's a textural thing which is a weird thing to say because you'd think

like a seltzer is a seltzer but it ain't't. No, I was, last night I was watching a Sasquatch documentary on Hulu. Sure. And I kept pouring out those hard topos into a glass and we get kind of flat. And then I drink them in one drink. Now, Tim, I didn't, I never took you for a cryptid fella. I'm not, but here's what happened.

I was watching something else on Hulu and I was watching McCartney 321. And when I i finished it rolled right into a movie called sasquatch and i leapt for the remote thinking i don't watch this type of no but it got me right away and and i recommend this is i would say it's maybe a bad movie but if you want something stupid to watch what was you like rick rubin you'll love sasquatch if you like this hair amount and height um uh what was so funny about it was you know that all sasquatch sightings always happen in like mendocino eureka northern california like weed country yeah his territory it's his territory and there's tall trees and stuff, but this documentary

was talking about all these, like, all the weed farmers are these, like, long-haired giggly guys who grow cannabis. And then, like, the documentary was like, there must be some connection because there's something about Sasquatch sightings happening

amongst cannabis farmers and they were talking to the cannabis farmers and they're like I don't know what it is that we would see more Bigfoots than the average person and it went through the whole documentary San Francisco sees them a lot up in Vancouver they're seeing them

the to go back I've seen ads for that like uh hulu was like pushing ads for that sasquatch thing for that's like the murdery one right it's like yeah but it's weird they're saying there was a triple homicide but just because they heard about it it was unreported but then like i won't spoil anything but also when i finished the movie it rolled right into the second movie. And I was like, I'm still looking for answers here. Wow, you did a big watch.

I got to say, Jeff, you were just asking about why Pepsi can get away with doing Topo Chico. It might have something to do with the fact that Topo Chico is owned by Coca-Cola. Oh, ouch. have something to do with the fact that Tobu Chico is owned by Coca-Cola! Oh! Ouch! But Coca-Cola is even more of the big granddaddy Disney of America. That's why they do what they want. So is Disney.

Always Coca-Cola. Yeah, Disney does whatever it wants. Mike, I'm glad you called out my bullshit on the air so that I didn't have to wade through all these responses online of like, no, I'm actually not to just Coca-Cola. You know, I had a little fun with it.

I went easy on you. Mike, you're like Efren Ramos who was calling out the IBA website. Yeah, well, I'm very punk rock. Yep. I have some booze news. Great. To say. It's more of a, it's about the whole podcast in general so a

couple weeks ago somebody on twitter brought to our attention that the prescriptions thing that we've grown to have a lot of fun with yeah was not tony soprano at all it was a character named bobby bobby bacalat now when you saw this i saw it and i was like oh mike was misquoting when you saw this, I saw it and I was like, oh, Mike was misquoting. When you saw the video, did you recognize the scene? Like maybe that was what you were quoting? No, I thought he was. Maybe it's later. It must be later in the episode.

Tony is talking to Carm about the prescription. Tony is doing a Bobby impression and he's like, oh, Karm, you should have seen Bobby today. We should check with the prescription. We're laying it secondhand. Did you hear what Bobby's doing? He's going to get the prescription. It was something like that. I couldn't remember any other prescription.

Then he said, now, Karm, how come you don't get my prescription? He fucking says prescriptions at some point. He's talking to Melfi and he's like, I can't do it. It's prescriptions. Yeah, he must be. It's very possible because he goes on Proz on prozac but or zoloft or something but that bobby

conversation is one i remembered like i remember because he's saying like i'm looking to move up the ranks i've been dealing with junior for a year and i want a promotion uh and it's a plot point so i you know i don't know how many prescription scenes are floating around in this show. My fear now is that later in the series or something, Tony does say it, but he says it like, yo, Com, you got to go get my prescription. Then we got to go back and redo all the episodes,

re-say it. We'll do it. It's an easy dub. 50 times. Well, is that it for Bidit Bip? Yes. Wrap it up. I can tell.

Oh, new one. I got sick of the last one. I'm going to be doing all different ones from now on, baby. I like this one better because it sounds like you're taking the booze news that we're done with and you're zinging it away. Oh, yeah, Jeff, you should add a little like crash window crash there. Here. Gathunk. Gathunk.

Want to get into the drink of the day? Yes, please. Sounds like a good plan. Very special drink because we're having a very special week, aren't we? It's Sir Paul week here on Sloppy Boys Nation. Sure, sure. And the guy has himself a little margarita called Paul McCartney's Margarita. You've heard.

I've heard from this very podcast. Oh, I've heard. Our friend from Don't Stop or We'll Die, Amin Zaroukian, sent us this article earlier this year on National Margarita Day. This was making the rounds that an Urban Daddy writer, Hadley Tamiki, wrote an article saying that

she had recently fallen in with the world of private jet pilots up in Van Nuys at that fancy airport that celebs fly out of and she had gotten the scoop that apparently if you're flying with paul mccartney everyone knows there's a specific margarita recipe that he likes and it's in his rider so they always make sure it's there for him and um there's a flight attendant who's been flying with him for a decade and who always makes sure it's on hand. And when we read this on Booze News, we kind of were, our jaws dropped.

I was aghast. Yeah, I was also aghast because the ingredients are, I mean, listen to this. It's strong as fuck, but then it's also redundant and it's also served kind of weird. And you were learning about Sir Paul Paul things we didn't know.

This drink is three shots white tequila. Yeah. Easy enough. And that's just right out the gate. That's how you start. That's how you begin. Good douche. This guy, hey, he's a drinker.

I didn't really know that about him. We used to do pills out you know, out in Hamburg, so a couple shots wouldn't hit you. Remember how he was like the Beatle who was leased into LSD and then he did it once and then the next day he's on BBC like, yeah, well, I don't ask it. Like George was like, uh, you have? You've had? You've had?

The BBC reporters were like, you've had? You've had? I'm the love- like, you've had? You've had? I'm going to love how to do it. Now, when they say shots, I don't know. Maybe they mean one ounce, but I'm taking them at face value and saying it's an ounce and a half, I guess. Could it be a metric thing like in England? A shot of something else? Yeah, it's very possible. But, okay, so three shots of white tequila.

One shot Cointreau. Delicious. Yes. A beautiful triple sec that we love. Oh, yeah, it's basically a high-proof triple sec. Go on, Tim. Oh, coming up next, one shot triple sec. What?

What are you talking? What? Sir Paul, you've lost it. This is like if you said, you know, give me a Band-Aid and then also give me an adhesive bandage. Give me a Q-tip and then also may I have a cotton swab? Yeah. Give me some of my pizza, pepperoni and Genoa salami. Let's revisit that one.

Okay. I guess you really have to know what Genoa salami is. Is that what it's called? I do know. It's a hard salami that's not pepperoni close enough though yeah that's true yeah you would think it's redundant if you only had two it's like all right you gotta get two toppings you wouldn't do salami and pepperoni hey close enough for a free podcast dude i i what if i go to the bella luna truck right by my house and i eat

my beloved pizza there that does have both on there it does yes you fuck what if you do i could go for one of those right now myself okay hold on um jeff you've pointed this out that that quantro am i saying it right do we say quantro or do we say quantro quantro it looks like it's french it's's a delicious orange liqueur. But beyond just being a brand of triple sec, it's the original. Triple sec means like triple dry, I guess. And the Cointreau originated that, and then there have been other liqueurs influenced by it. And these days we're buying our De Kuyper and our Hiram Walker versions of it. originated that and then there's there have been other liqueurs influenced by it and you know

these days we're buying our de kuyper and our hyrum walker versions right but so do you think fucking paul mccartney's using hyrum walker i can't see that i don't think that paul mccartney has ever seen this prepared for him i think he listed off a bunch of ingredients and then like flight attendants are like yeah whatever i bet he doesn't even drink this stuff anymore no he does he does it's probably just like oh mr mccartney likes this make sure it's on hand he's never even noticed it's on hand riders are weird because a lot of times the celebrity doesn't actually ask for it but their assistant knows they like it when when i was a an intern at kilbourne rosanne bar came in and i had to go to starbucks to get her chocolate dipped

graham crackers uh i don't know if she actually wanted that. Actually, she did eat them. So I was happy and proud, but famously proud of her that she ate. I'm proud you finished him. Elton John has a specific brand of marmalade that's always backstage for him. And I don't think he ever eats it. I think it's just his his his handlers are like he loves that marmalade. don't think he ever eats it i think it's just his his handlers are like he loves that marmalade um but duds you pointed out that quantro what does have going for it is it's a higher proof triple sec tends to be around like 30 30 and i feel like quandro is like full-on like almost 80 or something yeah so that's like a real liquor okay i got hung up on that but moving forward juice from one lime squeeze up the whole fucker fair enough juice from one orange squeeze up the whole fucker now here's the thing

tim for me because that's because that's everything well go go ahead and do the method and then i'll jump i will well orange is weird you don't normally put orange in it and we have two orange ingredients and now we're adding an orange and it's going to make it strange the instructions are add ingredients to a shaker with two or three small ice cubes shake until the ice cubes melt and the drink turns frothy pour into a glass with a salted rim so there will this is not a drink on the rocks it It's a frothed up, you shake until the ice cubes have melted entirely. I've never heard of that before, ever. Also, I take umbrage with the idea that something shaken on ice

will be frothy. I mean, a little bit. Pineapple juice froths up. Does OJ froth up? No, there's no viscosity. Actually, we'll find out. Maybe there is. With three little cubes. I think this guy lives a life of excess because he's a billionaire. And he's just like, put more of everything in.

Yeah. More orange. Pile it on. And it's funny. Maybe he's an old guy who doesn't want the ice cubes touching his teeth. No, he probably has dentures. Well, my thing with the orange is this. I have, and I encourage everybody to invest in one of these,

is one of those squeezers for citrus. It's got like the two cups, and it's like a clamp. And you put half a lemon in there, and this one is big. They make them for limes, and they make them for lemons. Of course, you get the lemon one because it's slightly bigger and it can also do limes but what do you do when they tell you to juice it in the orange here's what you do duds you chop it up smaller into little quarters or something you know so that they become lime size there you go there you chop it up smaller there you go now that. Now, what's in a regular margarita?

What's different in this one? The IBA that we did was very simple. It was just tequila, triple sec, lime. Okay. But like, so a lot of margaritas, most margaritas have triple sec in them. We know that. Yeah. But they are lime forward, whereas this feels orange forward.

Yeah. I'm honestly looking forward to the orange. That's true. I am. Well, do we stop fucking blabbering about it and start chopping up our oranges into small bits? I want to blabber about it. Folks, we'll see you on the other side. Peace and love.

And we're back. McCartney Margs in hand. Yes, we are. Hey, you know what was funny? The reason it's McCartney week here is because of the Hulu show, McCartney 321. We were watching it on our Patreon show this week, the blowout. But just now, subconsciously, I was putting in my three shots of tequila and I went, three, two, one.

It's kind of a funny thing. Interesting. Interesting. You have to admit that that's funny. Well, that's very funny. This drink, I was, it's a frothy affair. I didn't think it would be. Yeah.

Okay. Jeff's got an old-fashioned glass. Looks beautiful. Mike's got a big green martini glass. Yeah, I got like a fun plastic poolside martini glass. Tim, what'd you got? Well, I was thinking, what does Paul drink out of? Oh, he's on a plane.

He's probably not allowed to stem. So I got like a plastic cup that you would drink out of on a plane. I think if you can't have a stemmed glass on a plane, he's probably not allowed to stem. So I got like a plastic cup that you would drink out of on a plane. I think if... You can't have a stemmed glass on a plane? Maybe. You know, I actually don't do much flying private, if you can imagine. I think if a guy's having people bring his favorite

crazy drinks, he can do whatever he likes. And the few times I've flown first class, I do think maybe I've had champagne in a stemmed glass. Ah. Flute. Let's get into sips and we'll keep talking. Great.

Okay. Here we go. Sips away. It's warm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, maybe this is sort of like the British, you know, how they drink warm beers.

Oh, you're right. Maybe it's a British thing. Oh, interesting. It's definitely orangey. Orangina. You know what I did here on my glass too is I took this little trick from Katana Kitten where I just put salt on just like one little area of the glass.

Smart. That way you can customize each sip. How do you salt? I started with a Collins glass because I was like, this is a lot of liquid. And it came up short. So I transferred over

to the old-fashioned glass, the Roxy glass. I left some of mine behind in the tin, as it were. Ooh, a wounded soldier. Using the squeezer on the orange. Terrible idea. Really? This is maybe one of the messiest

drinks I've made on the pot. Just having to juice a damn orange. Hold half an orange in one hand and then just jam a fork in it from the other hand and go... Basically, is that when people say fap? Is that what they're talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah. When they make that that what they're talking about yeah yeah yeah when they make that sound that's what they're talking about juicing an orange of the fork

here's my issue that i had with the amount is i salted my rim quite professionally and then i poured the contents of my shaker into my cup and it filled it up all the way till and then it touched the rim and now i've got a saltier drink than I anticipated. Pulled in some of the... Pulled it in. Damn, these are tough. It's an interesting drink. It's tough. It's like those McCartney bass lines. Look, this is not

bad. I just want it to be several times colder than it is. Me too. I want to pour this on the rocks and it'll be so good because I do... Fresh orange is great. It works good for a marg. I used a tequila I like so I don't mind that it's super strong because it tastes

good. I got no qualms. I got to say for three shots of tequila it's on mine the Cointreau and the lime and the Oh fuck. Oh no. I made it wrong Jeff what'd you put in it

rum instead of tequila aha you're thinking about something else you're clowning on Paul McCartney when you my friend you know what you did Jeff you know you did you Hanford it all right all right Patrons

who talk that way who talk that way i don't like that type of talk okay so dutch you have yourself a nice little tiki freaky tiki a tiki that's tiki confusion for sure you know what oh damn but i mean look am i gonna sit here and drink the whole thing of course yes is it good though i mean like still if you were gonna put ice in it you'd still think it was good yeah i'm same note i want it to be colder yeah uh it's it's not like it doesn't work it's working but now when i make a second round i'm gonna make like a teeny tiny one with tequila just so i had the real thing it's tough to make a teeny tiny one because oh no i guess never mind it's easy well yeah when the measure

when the measurements are like juice from one lime juice from one orange that's like yeah that's like what a king would say yeah yeah yeah the juice of one lime bring me the juice of one lime on a platter it sounds like a witch's brew. Like, hair from one ostrich feather. It sounds like there's an animated movie about a happy little lime, and then the king is like, bring me the juice from one lime. And then the lime and the orange have to team up. Hey, we used to fight back in citrus school, but we can't work together. And you play me the

bass line of one Liverpoolian. You got it, sir. Fetch me my Rickenbacker. Yeah, he really did play that Rickenbacker bass. It looks like a big fiddle. Do you guys, maybe this has come up on past episodes, but how do the Beatles factor into your lives? Because I assume we're all fans.

I was like a Beatles kid and then a 13-year-old Beatle maniac, but then I burnt out. And I don't listen, and I don't know their solo stuff too well. But does Paul McCartney mean, is he formative to you? It's an interesting thing because, uh, I don't think it's formative in the sense that like, oh, I wanted to play music like those guys, but it was, it was, they have such like deep songs that I kind of forget about for a while. And then I'll hear a song like, uh, like Blackbird, but but you know I like that song a lot and uh you're like wow this is really good or just how some of their songs are so I thought it was Hanford singing in the dead of night yeah that's good I never listened as a high schooler uh I was probably

massively influenced by them just through like cultural osmosis like anyone but then in college when in during the napster years and the uh what was it napster kazaa limewire limewire that's when i got like every beatles album and i listened to them heavily from then on ad nauseum um but like you know the way that you do when you when you find a band and you're like, wow, I'm getting through all this shit. And I all the songs that I passively knew, I now like adore. And even the songs that I don't know, like, why don't we do it in the road? I'm like, wow, what a song, you know? Yeah.

Yeah. They're so like that's one especially, too, is like they came up with this. It's so weird. Sorry. Not why. Why don't we do in the road? I was thinking of, know my name look up the number oh my point still stands with that song too um well i love how because i i have a blind spot on their solo stuff like i feel like people like amin zarouki and industry professionals really geek out on on mccartney's, um, all of the eras, like some McCartney from like 82 or whatever.

And I, I always am kind of, I feel like stupid for not knowing about a lot of that stuff. But then I, have you guys seen the, um, I feel like there were articles about this maybe this year and that's why I saw it. But the, the McCartney and Lennon, uh, diss tracks that they like before anyone like did diss tracks, they both were dissing each other in songs. And I read an article about how like it's, um, it is, it's exactly the difference between Paul and John. Like what you would know, like the, the, the corny guy who's kind of a wimp and then like the harsh dude there, their diss tracks are so mismatched i should

bring up the lyrics because oh man this we could we could do like another episode i want to hear this shit okay i'll i'm gonna share it now and then you'll bleep it and then we'll i'll do an episode about later but here well i think you know wouldn't know the song so um i'm looking at i'm gonna bring up the lyrics on genius but paul paul came out with a song post beatles may may 1971 paul comes out with the song too many people you know that it's on it's the first track on ram and it's like it's paul is is commenting on john but he is um he's being gentle and it could be applied to other people and and it's sort of veiled references to john but but it's biting for paul and he's like it's that song like

too many people going underground so the lines are oh yeah yeah yeah piss off cake like piece of cake which is like a reference to some john lennon thing and then too many people are going underground too many people are reaching for a piece of cake. Too many people pulled and pushed around too many waiting for a lucky break. That was your first mistake. You took your lucky break and broke it into now what can be done for you. You broke it in two. So, you know, he's, he's telling John, you didn't appreciate being in the Beatles and you let a bunch of hangers on like Yoko and others in your ear, make you think that you were too good for the Beatles. And like you blew it. There's a I mean, nobody gives a fuck.

There's a Jamiroquai song called King for a Day where Jay rips apart their amazing bassist Stuart Zender for leaving. And it's this exact same thing. And it's, it's more cutting than any sort of romantic kiss off or any sort of like generic rap beef diss track when it's like, we used to fully collaborate. We had something you fucked up so hard and I'm standing over you in such harsh judgment for like four minutes. It sounds exactly like this. And of course that's a thing that you can go off on. Like if you're trying to make a comment on love and breakups, it's like, yeah,

people have done that before. But if you talk about like your friend who you don't like anymore, you could be like, yeah, another fucking thing. Um, okay. So that cutting,

but veiled, uh, Paul song was in the spring. Give me the John version. This is that same, that fall. Um um how do you sleep oh yeah this fucker it's so funny it has none of the tact so sergeant pepper took you by surprise you better see that right through your mother's eyes sorry because because paul in an

interview with rolling stone was like oh it was popular i didn't know it was gonna be popular but john was like you were a fucking tyrant when we were making it yeah um those freaks was right when they said you was dead the one mistake you made was in your head how do you sleep how do you sleep and then like each verse is because you live with straight to tell you you as king jump when your mama tell you anything calling him like a mama's boy his mama died but then mother mary in uh let it be but he's just such a he's such a um he's from a good family just like it was one of his defining characteristics very happy childhood and then this line was the one that got me because it's just so obvious uh the only thing you done was yesterday kind of be saying that your best

work is behind you but also the song yesterday and then he rhymes that with you probably pinched that bitch anyway because you know paul has this sort of like oh i had this tune in my head and i didn't know um and then the last Wait, does he mean pinched? Like you probably ripped. You ripped off. Like the only good thing you've done in your life, you stole. Yeah, yeah, I got you. And then verse three, a pretty face may last a year or two because he was the cute one.

The cute one. But pretty soon they'll see what you can do. You have a lack of musical talent. And then the last line is, the sound you make is music to my ears. Yeah. Corporate elevator music. You must have learned something in all those years. Meaning like you were in a band with me for a decade.

My presence. Yeah. So when were these coming out? Like in 71, both of them, sheesh, they both put them on their solo albums and then we're all coy about it in the press. But like, it's so funny to, to just let that float around out there.

Like, oh yeah, I think I, I think I referenced the friend. What was, uh, what was that song Uncle Albert about? I like that song. I think that was about Fat Albert. No, it was that. I think you're right. Do you think that when the Sloppy Boys break up, we're all going to have harsh diss tracks about each other?

Oh, we have to. We got to. We should do some diss tracks now while we're together. Yeah. Help each other out. Yeah, because I'm going to need someone to play bass and drums on my diss track. I need someone to teach me how the notes work together. Yeah, that John one is so, that's more like a rap diss track,

where it's like, we're taking the proper nouns associated with you, and we're turning them on their head, and that's good. That's fun stuff. And if you think about all their songs, it's like, Paul is like this song and dance old-timey man, and then John is just so direct. So, of course, this is how they would deal with a feud. Well, how does,

um, isn't there a Lennon song where he talks about like being the walrus or something like, uh, Oh yeah. Not I am the walrus, but it's like he references the walrus. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, is it in that outro of, uh, is it mother or mama or something when he's like, I don't believe in Beatles. I don't believe in. Oh yeah.

That, that, that song is called God, I think. god i think uh but that's a good song he doesn't believe in anything i don't know much solo stuff this is that's that's been a blind spot for me is like besides like band on the run and live and let die i don't know a ton of uh yeah yeah bands are so fun is that wings technically or is that like a Oh, so fun. Is that wings technically? Or is that like a McCartney solo thing? That's wings. Wings.

But I've watched all the Ringo episodes of Thomas, the tank engine. Um, Ringo and, and John, after the Beatles were in the Hollywood vampires drinking club and they would, uh, hang around at the Rainbow Grill on Sunset

and just get fucking hammered. Wow. We should do that. Yeah. Well, Tim, you're always down there on the Sunset Strip. See if you can get a table. I'll see if I can get a table. My version of it would just be like, I walk in and get a table for when I eat a cheeseburger and I leave. When I'm

in LA next, let's do a blowout on the Sunset Strip. Oh, yeah. Let's do a blowout on the sunset strip Oh yeah Let's put on our best outfits And walk right down the center lane Whoa watch it buddy That car almost hit my ass Your car almost hit my ass

What did you say? Nothing Oh man Nothing I didn't say anything You probably did What did you say? Nothing. Oh, man. Nothing. Nothing. I didn't say anything. You probably did.

I'm still in the middle of litigation. I'm getting sued because I rear-ended somebody on the Sunset Strip. No. I did. I looked at my phone, which I never do. But a Sloppy Boys album had just dropped. This was midnight on the night that our one of our albums hit spotify oh man and i was like i want to see if it's up and i and i rammed in the back of somebody at low speed and then i look good thing if the album was out and

you were making a ton of money i could pay that so easily sure i'll play it no problem in in the t-bird this is in the t-bird the t-bird was fine but the car in front of me a fucking lexus suv and and who gets out but like just the last it was like this this like very rich russian real estate agent bro guy middle-aged big big rich guy and then his like trophy girlfriend and they were dressed so nice i was like oh no they're so rich and they're coming after me. Don't hose me here, man. They're going to fuck me right now. Here on my strip. And my insurance company was like, sir,

you're covered for $1 so you're kind of on your own. Holy shit, man. Yikes. You guys ever had that? You ever had a nasty court? i might have to go to court no wow that's i might get locked away well wait wait but you'll to not get locked away you just pay it right yeah but on podcast money i'm gonna get locked so deep you guys are gonna have to bake a little um a knife into a cake for me and bring it

as a as a prison what i'll probably end up doing is baking some strawberries into a cake that sounds delicious in the summertime yeah tim you know what might actually help you is uh our album lifelong vacation our debut album yeah an independent hit hit 1 million views on Spotify. Holy shit! Did they listen to it or just views? Not one week. Did I say views? Streams! They looked over the titles

of the songs and were like, 1 million streams for our debut album. That's Beatles numbers right there. Do you know, I ran the numbers on how much streams for our debut album i mean that's beatles numbers right there you well do you know uh you know with i did i ran the numbers yeah on how much spotify pays you per stream and it's something like point zero zero one seven cents oh yeah yeah yeah stream and so we did make four grand

off of a million hit album oh my god you can you can use that for your car and tim it's all yours baby if you gotta get out of jail we'll give it to you thank you but i don't think i need the money i think the judge is like tim uh you're going to prison and i'm like a judge listen to this hit play on the boom box everyone in the court is dancing they they're loving Tom Collins. Oh, baby. That's what my no good teenage son and daughter are listening to. That's what my gorgeous kids listen to. Would

you help me reconnect with them, Tim? You dare play that in front of my Russian trophy girlfriend? No, honey. I think this is kind of good stuff we have this back in mother Russia hey why no you have a party rock band real estate agent oh I I will start one. Yes, me and Dimitri, we will start. We listen and it's like pretty good. Well, Tim, I hope this podcast isn't used as evidence. I think this is an excuse.

Yeah, Tim, who's your defense lawyer? Better call Saul. Come on now. I'm kidding around here. Yes. Yes, Cerritos. Folks, I'm going to go correct my blunder with round two.

What about my mashup? Do you want to do it after the mashup? What about your mashup? Okay, fine. Tim's got a mashup. Tim, didn't something interesting happen to you recently? Yeah, dude. Did I tell you guys about the song I stole from the Van Nuys airport?

Whoa, you stole it from the airport? Like you like Shazam'd a song that was playing? No. Airports are known to sort of hold airplanes and that's not what he's saying that's about it i was well i heard about this drink right and and because this was this story about this this cocktail came from the pilots talking about it up at van nuys because they fly the private jets with the paul mccartney's and the celebs right anyway i heard about it and i was like i got i don't trust what's in UrbanDaddy.com.

I got to know for myself. So I went up there and I was talking to some of the pilots at the Van Nuys Airport. Tim, can I stop you? Word. Sorry. I know you're right in the middle of something. I don't like that this thing is called Urban Daddy. I know.

What is Urban Daddy? I've heard of it before. I feel like there's like there's a restaurant in la called egg slut i feel like i feel like every fucking thing now is just called some like yes just some dumb shit anyway sorry keep going no but like balls soup house well pink taco is douchey as hell so it's easy for me to just be like fuck that place eggslet does bother me because it's like i heard that name and i was like gross i'm not going there and then i had it and i was like this is very special food like this is really good and uh

it makes me quite sad like urban daddy is just like does everything have to be a fucking and and now and i get mad at myself for being like, whoa, whoa, what? Am I like one of the conservative-minded? Yes, you are. Bible thumper. Yeah, yeah. Like, no, that's not me. I just think that shit is whack. I think it's lame.

I agree. It's just uncool. It's not that it's about morals or anything. It's like, that sounds dumb. What is Urban Daddy? It's the site that they broke the story on the McCartney Margarita. And I was going to say something the first time, but I didn't want to interrupt the flow. But it's just like a blog.

I don't know. It's like Brooklyn Vegan or something. It's like it has a name and I don't know what their theme is. They just, it's just a blog. I'm sure that this writer is like Perma Lance and it was trying to send articles to cooler places and it ended up on Urban Daddy. Maybe. I don't know. Anyway. Sorry. Anyway,

sorry. Well, let's make that round two. Oh, right. You were in the middle of some shit. Okay. Yes.

It was at the airport. I put my phone down and I stopped looking at urban daddy. I went and I kind of started talking to some of these pilots at the Van Nuys airport up at the hangar. And I was like, you know, like how's the drink? And they're like, Oh, at the hangar. And I was like, you know, like, how's the drink? And they're like, oh, we love the drink. And we love the McCartney's grade. His margaritas are great.

We all fly them all the time. And I was like, all of you? And then they were like, well, you know, there's the one kind of a sore subject. But there's one pilot up here at the Van Nuys airport who's like, he's never got to taste the drink because he's never had Paul McCartney on his flight. Okay. And he's kind of, it's like a thing.

He's a little bit jealous about it. He's been moping around. Odd man out. Odd man out. He's been moping around this guy. Okay. Yeah. And I felt like sad for the,

cause I, I've got a big heart and I was like, I'll go talk to him and see if I could cheer him up. Right. And I went to his plane. him up right and i went to you you you went to seek him out i went i can't know that there's a man out there who's sad yeah like now starts the long journey of me tracking down one man i would have dedicated the rest of my life to this but when i got to his plane he he wasn't there. Like I checked the- I know. Hey, trials and tribulations on the journey.

I looked at the cabin. I looked at the cockpit. Uh-huh. Yeah. Nothing. All the overhead compartments? I said, well, if I want to get- Maybe I'll just take this black box, you know,

because planes have the black box, right? Sure. Yeah, and maybe there's some information here. So I stuck it down my pants not just the pants but inside the bvds as well you put a box in between like a tight yeah a big pointy box between your tight underpants and your skin and and you know canonically we all know that he wears bvds yeah yes and guys you know how pvt you know how black plane the black boxes are filled with digital information yeah yeah that's in fact what they that's all they're designed to do amongst the digital information stored on this black box was an mp3 wow and sorry i missed this whose plane was this

again this is the guy who had he hadn't flown paul mccartney bro it's been so long since we've mentioned who that was until we're good okay you know i would if we didn't talk about urban teddy oh oh my delicate sensibilities it's a bad name keep I agree. But I haven't listened to this MP3. I brought it to you guys, and I thought we should listen to it together and see if like... You haven't even listened to it yet. Oh, that's cool. No, but like it could have been recorded by the lonely, jealous pilot. So he flies by himself, he said.

No, no, no. He doesn't have... Just not just not with he flies with other oh he flies with fucking ringo clapton's on there every night of the week okay before before we muddle before we muddle what we're doing any further let's just listen to the song thank you we're doing any further. Let's just listen to the song. Thank you. Oh, interesting. His name is Paul.

He's got it all. He's even got himself some triple sack. He's got a great voice. He was a beetle, then a wing. Now he's got himself some Quantro. And his last name's McCarty.

Ooh, I want to drink one of his Margies every single time Sir Paul flies. Got to get you onto my flight. It's booze news, you other pilots. What? Whoa. Hold on. Pilots have booze news as well? I don't know. I guess in that movie Flight,

where Denzel plays the guy who's an alcoholic. Yeah, I guess they do do a lot of booze news. There's only one explanation for this, the way I see it. Oh, okay. I thought there was two, but there must just be one. This guy not only is a pilot, not only is he

not flown Paul McCartney, he is a listener of Not only is he not flown Paul McCartney, he is a listener of the Sloppy Boys podcast. Wow. And not only that, he was working on a booze news theme

to send us. That's what I think too! Crazy. Crazy. So he was probably playing his he was listening to the podcast and playing it through the black box well he hasn't had a chance to email to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com yet so he was kind of using the black box as like a flash drive or something yeah yeah he probably was like i'll just store this here for now and if any of the sloppy boys happen upon it they'll know

where it is they can take it onto their show in their other fans he's working on the song and it does sound good and he does have a good voice yeah and there was probably there was probably not a lacy rugged four terabyte hard drive nearby or a right for a g or a g drive no it's like these aviation guys like they don't have like a terabyte laying around you know right it's tough to get a mac store over there mike and i'm not saying mac store i'm saying a mac store drive yeah yeah m-a-x-t-o-r yeah no we know yeah yeah i used to work in a digital archiving or for that matter a fucking samsung solid state a seagate 250 with a usb dude i got samsung right here booge look at that oh that's a good one man that's that's a good one and they're making they're making those smaller than anything it's a workhorse okay uh can we get into round two so that i can correct

my kerfuffle please i i didn't i couldn't finish this yet because it's so strong and I don't want to get too drunk, but now I'm going to pour it onto rocks. Yeah, that's a good idea. Chill it down, and then I can drink it like a normal guy. On the rocks. Great. Folks, see you back here in a few moments.

Yes, bye. Peace. Peace. Peace. you guys ever had the yellow red bull no it's the best one yeah damn i it's funny it's one of those things where you think that the flavors would be weird but i like the flavors more than the original what is the what is the flavor of it they call it tropical i don't know what they're going for but it's good hey well wait a minute we are back

here did you get all did you record that my god hey hey hey we do not sponsor any flavor of Red Bull. Well, they don't sponsor us either. Yeah, there's a mutual agreement. Okay. Red Bull brought to you by the Sloppy Boys. Okay. I'm going to take my inaugural sip of the proper thing. Wow. Good, good, good.

Jeff, how are you feeling about it? We got to know. Oh, okay. now it tastes more like a margarita at least it's that agave taste agave taste that doesn't go to waste Mike look okay let's get into final thoughts this

feels like a drink for a rich guy who is throwing a bunch of shit together and nobody told him that quantro and triple sec are the same fucking thing and it makes a mess so you'd never make it for yourself you make it for your fucking boss i'm sure there are people who can do it without making it no no not me my kitchen is in ruins the finest mixologists can't find a way around messing up this one. It's messy. It's fine. It's fine to drink.

I don't know if, hey, I heard a great phrase when we were shooting Birthday Boys. It was. Make wonderful television and the hearts of the nation will beat as one. But after that, that was the best was the you're canceled that was that too this was is the juice worth the squeeze oh is the juice worth this and then in this one i'm not quite sure if the juice is worth the squeeze no because with this much liquor the the the subtlety of a fresh fruit squeezed fruit juice is completely lost i like a stiff drink but there would be no reason to not use tropic this is a bunch of bullshit except you're sir paul and you you've never had juice from concentrate in your life

right that's why these things like fresh squeeze like, they'll squeeze anything for this guy. My review of this drink is short. Oh, it's an order again. Sorry. Keep going. Okay, good. It is short for me. It is didn't like it at first.

I like it now. Wanted to be colder. I'm done. Order again. I'm done. Both order again. But kind of grumpy order agains from both. Yeah, yeah it's one of those ones like do make it the way i'm saying and yes order again um i felt i didn't make a second round but i i i put the the remainder of my first round back into my tin with new ice i

shook the shit out of it. I poured it out onto fresh cubes and I have a delicious cocktail. Yeah. So nice. When we first were tasting this, I thought it was a dumb drink. I thought it was a warm, stupid,

strong drink for a moron. Stupid, strong. So, so I guess my review, because using his method, I would say it's a terrible drink for idiots. But if you want to shake it up and serve it on ice, it's absolutely delicious.

And it mellowed out a lot. And I love a Marg that's not. The most common problem with Margs is that you're too sugary. And this is the opposite of that. So I'm happy. Yeah. What's the float that they generally put on Margs or that they used to do at Mexico City? Is it Grand Marnier?

Yeah. Isn't that called something else now? It makes it a Cadillac mark, and I have some of that. Is Grand Marnier at all orange or am I dreaming? Yes, it's orange brandy. So it's like Cointreau and cognac together. Well, I love it it that's our show follow us on social media at the sloppy
