Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys where we take a deep dive into those drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton along with Mike Hanford. Okay, yes. Hi. And Tim Kalpakis. What is up? Ooh, Mike, that was a little Goldblum action, maybe? I was doing a little Goldblum action.

I watched, well, you and I were in a hotel room the other day for Joe Saunders' wedding. We were watching a little bit of Jurassic Park. The classic. The classic dino meets human park story. That little roar thing he does in the helicopter is the funniest to me. If you're talking about the T-Rex, that's not really... Yeah, kind of a big one. Roar!

Mookie made the point that the T-Rex in Jurassic Park sounds a bit like a train. I thought that was you who said that. Like a choo-choo. They compiled a bunch of animal sounds and then a train sound and there you go they didn't figure out the real t-rex that wasn't do you remember that video from like a year or two ago where like they figured out a caveman's voice and he's like they analyzed the throat of a caveman analyze this it was like a news clip right yeah that was so

funny it was like it was like his panicked scream uh you know they've also kind of uh we know that our beloved abraham lincoln had a kind of a funny high voice it wasn't like a four score and seven it was like four score and seven years ago wait how did that how do people know that the like written accounts of uh oh just you know explaining what what what he sounded like but because i don't think they're they didn't have the old phonograph back then but it's weird to think here he is some time honored historic guy with a funny voice then you have three smooth-tongued podcasters yeah maybe we're gonna be the next honest abes four scores and seven years ago well daniel day lewis sort of did the did the real lincoln voice didn't he now now um did i tell you about when i went to a uh a sag screening in that movie and

saw him talk about the voice and stuff no oh yeah no for jeff and yes for mike okay i'm glad jeff you don't because if you said we both said yes to one yes no tell me normally he's not a guy who appears too much is he or is that not so true recently tim appears everywhere and especially there's a free movie screening i'm there um but i went to the bruin theater in westwood right across from the licorice pizza theater uh regency or no right regent anyway steve spielberg's there All the hits are there and they're doing a little chat about their Abraham Lincoln movie and

Daniel Day-Lewis is on the panel which was exciting for me because as a fellow actor, he and I have a lot in common. Yeah, I bet. He, well, retired actors too. He's come out of retirement a couple times. I never have.

I retired. Not a lot of people don't know this, but after the birthday boy show, I told my reps, no more auditions. You want to cast me, cast me. Offer only. But wait. Offer only. I like it.

Yeah. You, you didn't retire from acting. You just retired from auditioning because you've been in stuff since. Yeah. I've graced the screen. You were in love. Yeah. He does it as a personal favor right if a good buddy of mine

needs a part needs life breathed into a role we just can't get this character right i'm bringing tim he's he'll bring life to this character well he's like kurt russell is that what he does or rick moranis who no i I'm like Kurt Russell for sure. Somebody at this Q&A asked Sir Daniel, is it daunting, you know, like Abraham Lincoln, we all have our preconceived notions of what he was like, and you're playing this historical character. Is that hard to do? And are you thinking about the performance you're giving

or are you thinking about the real guy or what are you doing and uh lewis gave the best answer ever he he weirded everyone out because he goes well here's the thing abraham lincoln he really existed so that actually makes it easy for me because if you once lived on earth it means that your spirit is still out there in in the ether so all i had to do was cast lines out and connect to his to the real abraham lincoln who's still here and he was able to talk through me this is awesome but it was even it gets even better because he he talks his way for like a full minute and we're all kind of like you know nudging the people next to us saying uh maniac and he wraps it up by saying now of course everything

that i've told you just now is an illusion but it's the illusion i told myself oh i like it i said you little fucker you know you know that abe isn't floating around in the ether and helping you act but you tricked yourself into it you know He helps me with my vocal warm-ups. You know what I heard is that in order to get into the role, he has to be paid only $5 in cash, but at the beginning of the shoot. He gets paid whatever president he's doing. Yeah, and he looked down at that $5 bill and he said abe i got you baby i got you now and i'm holding you prison in my wallet for the entirety of this shoot we could do that funny we

should shoot that it'd be a funny sketch and then the fiber goes into the wall and he's like get me out of here it could be funny now now now i thought you, did you say fiber or fiber? I said fiber, but it's made out of fibers. The fiver, the fibrous fiber. Ooh, I like that. The fibrous fiber. The illusions we tell ourselves. Yeah, the illusions we tell ourselves. Should we get into some booze news?

I think that would be pleasant. Hit it. Oh, great. I don't have the fucking thing. You sent it to me, right? Certainly did. Okay, I'll kill some time here. Oh, no!

Look at this. I look at my Gmail. There, it's sitting there. Uploaded, never sent. Just once. Ah, damn. Damn. You can probably hear me chewing a little bit.

Yeah, don't do bit. I got grapes. Don't do that. I bought grapes. Yeah, careful, though. People don't like that. They barely like the sips. They barely like the sips. Oh, they like the sips.

Well, I got grapes, and I'll tell you something. I usually stay away from grapes because I don't eat them quick enough. They get mushy and whatever else. But I'm eating these quick, and boy, they are flavorful grapes. Green grapes off the vine. You ever freeze them, Mike? No. Oh, you got to.

Yeah, my mom used to do it. It makes them a little popsicle. I'm going to do that right now. No, stay here, Mike. Oh, off he goes. Hold on, I got to freeze a grape. Would you bust a grape in a fruit fight?

Because I know you got a mouth like a motorbike. Loud as a motorbike. No, I would not be involved in a fruit fight, for starters. I prefer to debate people with my words, not with fruit yeah in the marketplace of

ideas thank you tim what about have you guys ever been in a real food fight like has your cafeteria ever erupted in a food fight no but that would be fun i don't really go to a cafeteria anymore clifton's no not at any of your summits. Yeah, my G5 summits. All right, can we get into some booziness? Please. Hit it. Mookie was showing me this artist, Wetleg. Have you heard of them?

No. Heard, not had. He said, baby, do you want to come home with me? I got Buffalo 66 on DVD. He said, baby, do you want to come home with me i got buffalo 66 if you want something grimy slimy turns you, grosses you out a little bit, makes your skin crawl a little bit.

I thought that was a cover band.

That was Gail herself. The Sloppy Boys and Don't Stop or Die played at Subterranean Chicago in October 2021. Flash forward six months. Same room. Gail. I just looked at that very quickly. Wow. Gail.

Yep. Also, our show looked more fun. Got to say it. Sorry, Gail. No no gail rules we suck i think it's cool that she has a hit billboard hit like major chart topper hit and she's touring little venues with a little three-piece band and kind of not playing to a backing track it was a funny and fun little they sounded good they sounded fun they're fun gail dang i'm back on the gail train love gail love gail back in the chopter copter i'll tell you i'll tell you what i'm back on the live rod train i

love live rod come on hey when we were geez i keep talking about this wedding when we were at that wedding yeah uh this weekend you know we ate at that uh what was it uh pitching post supra srika la super rica yeah it was great as we're going home mitch was taking me back to the hotel there was a big line of people uh sitting out and we pulled up i said hey what's going on here what are you guys uh waiting for they said olivia rodrigo i said oh my god she was playing in that town that night okay so here's the thing i overheard a conversation of some kids talking about they were going to olivia rodrigo and i'm guessing it would have been at the bowl the santa barbara bowl

i guess so i was kind of unclear where we were but i had heard that and i was like well that's rather exciting then i'm walking to the wedding i walk past a coffee shop i hear good for you and it kind of sounded a little echoey and i was like live rod and i ran up i was like could you imagine she's playing in this little coffee shop no it was merely the mp3 playing over the echoey speakers and it tricked me oh man um i looked at tickets though i went on uh stubhub to see how much they would be. 250 bucks. Yeah, she's playing small venues for such a huge star. She played the Greek recently so they can gouge on the- The Greek's a nice place.

Yeah, I saw- Well, Greek is a good ethnicity, actually. Yeah, that's all right. Hey, I'll put a hex on you. Hex on you. May Zeus strike you down into a little goat man. The greatest of all time? Not so bad.

Not so bad. I'll take it. I wouldn't mind a Zeus goating. Starting to like these Greeks. You guys ready for the booze news? Yes. Yeah, who's got it? I got a couple.

Mike, you had something, right? I got something. I'll save mine to the very end. I guess two little quick one-hitters. I just wanted to mention, hey, summer is arriving. You know there's going to be a couple little stunty, collab-y kind of little attention-grabby things from the booze companies. And I got two of them. One, Miller Lite Beer Coal.

Yes, it's beer-infused charcoal. You put it on your barbecue grill. It makes your food taste like Miller Lite. What do, it's beer infused charcoal You put it on your barbecue grill Makes your food taste like Miller Lite What do you think? Wait, wait, wait It's coal? It's charcoal for your grill It's coal, Jerry

I don't like it Mike? I love it And I'm wondering how How would they do that? This is good panel Like you guys would be good on a British panel show. I don't like this.

I love it. The science of it is, my brain is reeling over the science of it. I find that type of stuff very interesting. I'm kind of a noob when it comes to coal. Here's what you do. You take a lot of beer and you just cram it down into a piece of coal, but you can't cram too hard or else it'll be a Miller Lake diamond. Yeah. Well, you don't want it to be wet either. They're just not soaking

coal in beer. Oh, yeah. Hmm. Well, we're probably not going to get to try this because they're doing, they just did like some little drops, you know, like, oh, we sold out. It's like, yeah, no shit, you only made five. They announced a product that only five people can have and nobody uses it. Here's another

limited release product. Hold on, Timmy. Fuck. You're a steakhouse-y guy. Have you ever had a steak and noticed that they were like, oh, this was cooked on wood chips, like cherry wood chips? I don't understand the flavor going into the meat from coal or wood or whatever. Has that ever made a noticeable difference to you? Well, there's a lot you don't understand, Jefferson.

It's like hickory smoked and cherry. Absolutely, huge difference. When we were in Santa Barbara, we went to the hitching post, we ate steaks. They were made with oak, an open fire, red oak flame going on. I can absolutely taste that. Charcoal, if you make burgers,

not so much hot dogs, it's kind of hard to pierce through that skin. But if you make burgers not so much hot dogs it's kind of hard to pierce through that skin but like if you make burgers on propane or charcoal your boy tim can tell the difference no problem um but my beloved steakhouses uh like the really old old ones i like they're actually doing a cast iron pan sizzles all right next the next stunt malort spritz yes the stinky spirit of chicago has made a nice summery spritz um it's it's a canned beverage um you know they've been looking for a way to kind of malort is a bit of a stunt shot but here's one thing that was interesting to me jepson's malort spritz it is made with grapefruit soda hibiscus lime juice and malort and when we tasted it we did note that it had like hints of kind of grapefruit rind to it so making it with grapefruit soda is not a bad idea this This is available in select locations within Chicago.

Kind of a tongue-in-cheek way of taking on the Aperol Spritz. I like the idea of that. But I did mention when we talked about McGillicuddy, what was the... Yeah, menthol. Menthol. Menthol, menthol stuff. Like, is that really a flavor you want to sit with for eight ounces? I feel like some stuff is better as a pow.

Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, the Spritz part of it has to cut that down because you can't drink an eight ounce 12 ounce can of this trap but even that flavor in its diluted form i don't know if i want to sit with it right because i mean we don't hate malort we think it's a fun funny thing to take a shot of and then go oh so if you're kind of getting rid of that factor am i gonna have a big can and go oh i don't know i don't know i'd try it i'm curious slop heads send it to us hey tim now you have my attention and this isn't like a stunt thing this is like they're actually producing these and you can buy them in stores. Yeah, it's only available.

Like there's two places in Chicago that are selling it. And if you want to know those places, I'll read them to you out loud right now. Get your ears ready, listeners. Yes, yes. Zzzz. Get your ears ready, listeners. Yes, yes. Uh, zzzz.

Uh, Maria's and another place. I'm not going to read this whole article again. No need to. No need to. I bet Mike's got such a good piece of booze news that listeners will forget all about that. Yeah, come on. Forget about that because we've got booze news here. So there is something that was brought to my attention. The Instagram 50 Best Bars is at 50 Best Bars.

It's a website. I think it's kind of like the IBA. It's like a list of the 50 Best Bars. And Katana Kitten is on that. Hey. Cool. And today, seven hours ago, Masahiro Urushido, the manager, the owner, was named peer voted Alto's Bartender's Bartender of 2022. Fantastic. Congratulations, Masa.

Punch out. Damn. A little slow there, Mike. Timmy beat you to it because he loves that geek shit. Yeah, wait. Tim won the... I forget who won the Nintendo challenge. It wasn't me, I don't think.

It was Tim. Damn. I knew Toad was 32. Possibly the best piece of information to come down the pipeline on this pod is the fact that Toad is canonically 32 years old. Toad is 32. All right. Are you guys ready for the drink of the day?

Yes. This is a big one I've been looking forward to. Really? Yeah, yeah. Me, of all people. Hmm. Yes, that's right. It's the traditional Brazilian drink, caipirinha.

Yes, yes. Caipirinha. You've had? No. You've heard? I've had. I've made them for you guys. So, Michael, I know you've had.

Tim, I've had. You've had. I've had? You've both had. Jeff, you're a lime freak uh you should be ordering these everywhere you go when had when um it was a it was it was it's a device here's the thing the spirit the main spirit in this drink uh kashasa yes is a bit divisive so do you remember back at our old house we had a little run of having like barbecue like a grilling and a movie like we'd be like

we'd watch uh three amigos and i'd make tacos do you remember it was our grilling in a movie series it happened every summer yes uh yeah it was free to all los angeles residents with a library card one of i don't remember i don't think we were watching the movie brazil uh but i think that we were watching a brazilian film or brazilian comedy or something like that and for that reason i got a bottle of cachaca i'm i heard about that because i had seen it on bourdain there's in the brazil episode of bourdain he loves him and drinks a lot anyway i i made them for us and we all had a little bit of trouble with there was a bottle of cachaca left over because we we oh no tri and we all had a little bit of trouble.

There was a bottle of Cachaca leftover because we were tripped up by it a little bit. Interesting. Now, Tim, you had your finger on the pulse because that must have been back when Caipirinhas were kind of new on the scene. I did a little digging and we'll get into the deeper history. But the recent history as far as its consumption in america i wasn't seeing a ton of articles about this until the late aughts or the early 2010s there were a ton of articles about like so there's this new thing called cachaca right and here's brazil's new drink and i think it coincided with the announcement that brazil was going to be hosting the summer olympics in 2016 there was this newfound curiosity in brazil's

huge uh not export but it's their national spirit um it was often called brazilian rum but um in 2012 they made an agreement with amer America not to call it Brazilian rum anymore. An agreement. In February 2013, the U.S. Department of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau published a final rule making the quote-unquote distinctive product of Cachaca designation official. unofficial under the 2012 understanding brazil now has 30 days to issue a similar regulation to recognize tennessee whiskey and bourbon whiskey as distinct products of the united states so it was a little bit like okay we'll call cachaca but you better give us credit for the whiskey that that is a that is so funny that they would make a little agreement like that. B, I'm now remembering maybe this wasn't at our old house. Maybe it was the Olympics for me.

It could have been that here at my place, maybe I was watching the opening ceremonies and had a couple people over to watch the opening ceremonies. And that's when I made the drink, perhaps. I maintain have not had well still haven't heard it's a drink that uh sounds a little like a daiquiri looks a little like a mojito and um you know it ain't too far off the deep history is that back in 1918 a similar drink included garlic and honey and was used to combat the Spanish flu. Garlic and honey? We also have sailors who used to use rum and citrus, as we learned, to ward off scurvy.

Once they hit Brazil, they switched out the rum for cachaça. But the caipirinha, as it's known today, was invented by landowning farmers in the countryside of Sao Paulo to reflect the nation's strong sugarcane culture at high-standard events and parties. Interesting. to reflect the nation's strong sugarcane culture at high standard events and parties. So this is Brazil's national cocktail. And, um, Cachaça is mostly used for this, right?

Despite being a massive, massive drink, they down them 24 seven over there. They didn't really get outside of Brazil until later on. Hence all this, um, Brazilian rum kerfuffle. So that makes a lot of sense.

I heard there's a good legitimate cocktail podcast called cocktail college. I resent that, but keep going. Well, they don't, they don't really talk so much about Olivia Rodrigo or Gail on that. So they kind of focus on pop stars. What teenage pop stars do they talk about?

Well, I mean, they talked about Katy Perry back in the day, but- Kid LAROI type stuff. No. They were saying, that thing about it being the national drink and saying like, please don't call Cachaca just like Brazilian rum.

There's a reason for it that's interesting. These guys on this pod were saying it's like, it's almost like taking it back. It's like this spirit, as opposed to rum that's made from the molasses that comes from a sugar cane. This is a sugar cane by like right off the sugar cane. So like enslaved people that worked in the farms made cachaça with like the leftover froth from sugar cane when it was made to sugar,

something like that. cachaça with like the leftover froth from sugar cane when it was made of sugar something like that so that it it was seen in brazil by the rich people as like a low class drink right specifically the like bottles of cachaça in brazil they didn't want to be known for that they're like we have fancy fortified wine and blah blah blah blah noah's for this and then decades later as you almost see this more in food like on the cocktail college, they were talking about in French cuisine. The blue collar aspect. Yeah.

That like sometimes the fanciest French restaurants will take peasant food and make it really well and be proud of it. And it's like saying, no, this is our culture. So I think that that's why, Jay, what you're saying about Brazil being like, this is the national drink. That's the official drink of the the the olympics all that they're saying like look it is it might be a part of our it it might be not what seen as like a fancy cocktail or something but it is brazilian we drink them a lot here and and my image of it

is more just like as opposed to like a daiquiri simple daiquiri that's like strained and fancy and a bit of an indoor drink this is like a crushable beach drink that you actually sit in the sun by the beach and you chug even the name uh caipirinha i found uh it's derived the the diminutive form of caipira which means someone from the countryside but it's got a little bit of a connotation like hillbilly so caipirinha means that uh yeah uh kaipera means like someone from the countryside and the diminutive form or the feminine form so kaiperina basically means little country girl it's kind of the every man's drink i like what this rum's gonna taste like if it's gonna be uh like sweet or i i stole a little sip of the one that Jeff got for us, and it did taste good.

Cachaça can have a grassiness or an earthiness that turns people off. And I've put effort into trying to acquire a taste for it. But this one that Jeffy got is sort of akin to a white rum in a way. I can't believe this. I, this is the first time hearing of this or seeing it and you're already acquiring tastes. You've been making it for the Olympic ceremonies.

I got it. Uh, I've had it recently. It was on my mind because of, um, those Tiki classes I took online during COVID, the spirit guides. I had to,

I had to buy it then. When did this, when was this invented? Jeff, is this one of the, uh, new classics, the this one of the new classics, or contemporary classics, the new era? The IBA considers it

a contemporary classic. I mean, it might be like new to dummy Americans, but this thing's been around. I'm going to play a little clip from Parts Unknown. This is the 2014 episode where he goes to Salvador. And this is just Bourdain talking a little bit about the taste,

and then I'll talk about the recipe. Caipirinha and caipirinhas. Did I mention caipirinhas? They do those here, too. I like them. I like them a lot. What's magical about this cocktail is the first taste, it's like, I don't know, man.

It's a little too something and then like that second sip it's like oh that's kind of good and the third sip it's where my pants so i'm interested to hear to taste this earthy sort of herbal flavor yeah maybe that's he's describing the we have drinks like that on this podcast all the time where you take the first sip you're like oh no and then oh yeah and it makes sense with this one because it's very limey and it's you really cram in the crushed ice i also think in brazil i think it's okay to have your sugar like not fully dissolve and have a little crunch to it on the bottom i believe that sounds good well uh as an ice freak and a lime freak i look forward to this one here's how you make it according to the iba 60 milliliters cachaca that's two ounces one lime

cut into small wedges a whole lime i saw a lot of recipes calling for half a lime so i'm into this four teaspoons white cane sugar the method place lime and sugar into a double old-fashioned glass and muddle gently fill the glass with cracked ice not crushed and add cachaca stir gently to involve ingredients and then there's a little note here the kyperoska instead of kashaka use vodka oh except kashaka use vodka now i know i know you guys are probably thinking oh yeah four teaspoons of sugar tim probably uh has a big bag of sugar in his uh kitchen wrong i got fumigated all my food was thrown out empty cabinets here's what did. I didn't want to buy sugar. I know what you did.

I went to the Cafe Los Feliz. Yeah, you fucking took a bunch of packets. One large coffee, please. And then eight sugar packets into the breast pocket. I like to get hyped up. A resourceful Los Feliz. Now, here's my question. This doesn't seem like much liquid

can we say can we agree on that agreed we agree this is not this is not going to be much uh in there i don't think agree can i tell you what you do yeah in preparation for this pod i took a bunch of ice cubes put them in a plastic bag took a hammer hammered it so i have crushed ice so you really want to fill that thing i gotta do i gotta do that still that might take me a second but um you know so and also wait i wasn't listening when you went through the method but i don't think you restrain this you let you let the let the lime gunk sit in your cup right yeah so that's good i saw some other ways of preparing that seemed better, like shaking. And, you know, I saw a lot of the best pictures. You see a big icy glass and little chunks of lime kind of throughout, you know, like decorating the whole thing.

Like a big, you're walking around with like a lava lamp or something. I don't like all the muddle down bottom. That's what I don't like about mojitos. I don't like clogging up my straw. This is shocking. I'm looking at the method, Jeff. You're right. It just says stir gently, but I could have sworn muddled gently, stir gently.

I feel like this is such a shaker drink. I mean, parts unknown. They were shaking the hell out of it. Shake the shit out of it. But this is very gentle. This recipe is very gentle. Shake it. I've also seen in order to not make it too bitter, you can take your lime, cut it in half,

and then go around the outside, like cutting some of the skin off so that you're not just muddling a stinky green skin and get more of the fruit out. But hey, whatever. Okay, whatever. Well, all right. I think we're armed with the proper information.

Wonderful. Love it. Folks, see you after the ads. Peace. Cool. I'm looking forward to this one me too to the and we're back with kaiperinas, did you have fun muddling? I did. I had fun muddling, and then I hate to break it to you guys. I gave it a little shake in my shaker, too. You son of a bitch!

I knew you couldn't resist. I tried stirring gently, and it was all just lime and sugar at the bottom, and I... That's a lot of lime in there. Yeah. You don't want to have the Dagobah system down bottom. You want it to float up, up, up. I'll tell you what else. While I was muddling, I got a text from the WGA.

They want me to take a survey. But it says, hi, Tim. This is Spiro from the WGA. And I'm wondering if it's because I'm Greek. They sent the Greek guy to try to get my survey. Well. I got a lot of cousins and uncles named Spiro. First sips?

I got to tell you, I feel like I'm swayed by the smell already. I do not like the smell of this. Would you describe the smell you don't like as grassy? Because people say it's grassy. I took a little sneaky sip of that cachaça. I took a little sneaky sip. It was almost like tequila. Herbaceous. Yeah, yeah. I'm going in. Okay, here we go.

Ooh. Mmm. That is tequila-like. Yasu. I kind of like it. Ooh, it's starting to hang in. It makes you want to have a little bit of fun. It makes you want to... Wow!

I like this, Jeff. That's a nice song. I need to stir this up a little bit. Have you seen the um viral videos of brazil there's a dance in brazilian uh nightclubs where like the guy will be like standing and a lady puts her feet on his shoulders almost in like a wheelbarrow position and smashes her butt into it oh yeah yeah well when i sip this i kind of made me want to do that dance there are a lot of limes in here.

When I cut up the limes, I was like, no way this is all fitting. Yeah, I saw a couple good tutorials on lime cutting for this. Here's what I did. I cut off the poles. And then I cut it pole to pole. And then I V cut

out the center tough part. The bitter part. The tendon. And then I V cut out the center tough part. The bitter part. The tendon. And then I read somewhere in order to have less of a pool of like wasted lime juice, you put the lime on its peel side down and you cut into the flesh rather than, you know, if you're cutting into the tough peel you're just kind of pressing the juice out on the plate or the cutting board and so it isn't much but with a small fruit yeah

you're gonna want that juice that juice and so then i basically cut eight or nine half moons out of this thing and they're all floating around my drink they look great it looks gorgeous it's very green and good looking and i like that you're you're not just one of these guys who's saying i'm a lime freak end of story i'll drink lime stuff like that you're not just one of these guys who's saying, I'm a lime freak, end of story, I'll drink lime stuff. You're learning the craft of cutting your lime. Just the beginning of the story, Tim. Yeah, it's just you're starting your lime journey. Act one.

Our hero gets thrown into a situation. Now, this is tart and tangy and zippy and so fun. And I feel like if you handed it to me and I didn't know any better, tart and tangy and zippy and so fun. And I feel like if you handed it to me and I didn't know any better, I would think it was a margarita with, with some, and I would say that spirit isn't just normal tequila.

Is that some sort of strange mezcal you've given me? I, the smell of it is, I do not like that, but you don't taste the smell at all. What brand is your cachaça? Yeah, let me show you. Mine and Tim's is Soul. Ah, yes.

Leblon. Leblon. Hey, it's me, Leblon. Leblon. Leblon James, the goat. On this, it says Brazilian rum on it. It says cachaça, and that says Brazilian rum. We made a deal.

They are not adhering to the agreement. Wait, what was the whiskey end of that deal? Tennessee and... It's like they need to start giving Tennessee whiskey respect. Tennessee? It was bourbon whiskey

and Tennessee whiskey. They need to be distinctive products. But they made the point that would be like calling this Brazilian rum would be like calling tequila Mexican whiskey. Yeah. I had some Mexican whiskey kind of recently. Corn. What was the word? Oh, yeah.

What was that? Where was that? Abasola or something like that. And it was in El Paso. We had this corn whiskey. It was delicious. Sweet. Yeah, it was different.

Sweet, you can't beat. You guys ever eaten any Brazilian churrasco cuisine? Yeah. eaten any uh brazilian churrasco cuisine um yeah most popular for us would be yes and i loved it the version americans would know is fogo de chow you ever go to fogo de chow no no you uh you ever you know what it is yeah i've heard of it i've heard i'm not very versed in the ways of food well like there's one of these on like restaurant row in la cienega and so it's this is like a chain version of it but foco de chow i mean you'll yeah you'll go there like it's like near buca de pepo and uh or actually it's across the street from lowry's which is funny because they also have a hook but foco de chow is a place where they're walking around the room with these giant skewers of meat and a knife and then swords kind of swords and you have a little card on your

table green or red and when you're when your plate plate is full and you're eating you put the red side up but then when you flip the green side over you get swarmed by these servers wow carving lamb and sirloin and pork and chicken right onto your plate that's fun is it is it all you can eat or is it like each it's all you can eat wow and it's good it tastes good oh it's so good there's there's cheapy versions of it at the farmer's market or at the glendale galleria um where they're carving it and then weighing your plate um ah yeah i don't know go to chow mean it's fogo what's is chow fogo is like the brazilian version of frodo and de chow is kind of the the brazilian version it's uh portuguese for it It's like chow, like chow

down. Yeah, Frodo of Baggins. Okay. That just reminded me, Portuguese colonization of Brazil, that's the reason for the needing to take back your Brazilian pride and say, we drink cachaça proudly here.

It was because they were under Portuguese colonization um have you guys been to nosa on our beloved hillhurst avenue that's another like local brazilian place and before that i ate at tropical which i was gonna say what was the other one called bossa nova tropical that's what bossa nova is in hollywood that's good too damn i love when you get Brazilian food, sometimes there's this little powder on your plate. That's like a breadcrumb next to your chicken and your beans.

There's a little pile of bready powder. It's good. It's a pile of bread. Tropicalia, it was called? Yeah. The course where I saw Lizzie Kaplan get stubbed her toe on a- On the night of my Christmas party? On my way to go to Tim's Christmas party.

I had a magnum of Heineken under my arm. Oh, boy. I just spilled. That will happen. I was going to say. With the caipirinha. I'll tell you something else great about Brazil. The music.

Antonio Carlos Jobim. Girl from Ipanema. Yeah. We should cover that. That's a good one. He's got a lot of good songs. I got like an album of his in college at some point. And it probably just like a best of, I don't know.

And every once in a while it comes on in my like mix. I say, oh, these are good songs. Oh, baby. You know the very best part of Brazil? What they got? Don't you say it. Butt lift. Thinking about getting one.

I knew that was coming from our troglodyte friend, Jeff. What? The BBL. The BBL. We're all going to get one. Once we hit 2,000 Patreon subscribers, BBLs all around. We'll do it as an episode? Yeah.

We're reviewing it. I'm not bothered for that. That sounds fun. Did you see what happened with my glasses? Wait, wait, wait. Did you? We were driven by somebody. Do you remember this?

Who was in the car with me? We got an Uber or a Lyft, and the woman driving us, her friend got a BBL and said she couldn't sit down for like 30 days. Like you have to stand or lay on your stomach. Oh, yeah. That wasn't a Lyft. Who was that? Or where were we going?

But yes. But it was wild to hear the inside track on like what goes in, what's the prep and post for a BBL? Yeah, she couldn't sit down for a month. Can you imagine? No sits? Yeah. I couldn't sit down for a month. Can you imagine? No sits. Yeah. She said, I love this.

It going to the bathroom was difficult. Oh my God. Number one or number two, everything. Um, now the BBL is like a fat transplant, right? Is that different from a butt injection?

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Well, Jeff, while you research that i'm going to tell you what just happened with my glass you guys missed i spilled a little caipirinha on my desk here and then i said oh and then i put my glass down so that i could uh wipe the drink off my pants and when i put the glass down it started skating around in a figure eight because the desk was wet and it looked like it looked like a hovercraft kind of scooting all

around my desk it was some poltergeist type shit is your desk vibrating do you have a vibrating desk um i don't have a vibrator on hey watch it how the hell is that thing moving in figure eights? Perfect figure eights, he says. Oh, it just did a triple lutz. Like a Ouija board. A Ouija. I have clarity on the Brazilian butt lift. It says here, the surgeon uses liposuction to remove fat from your lower body.

The extracted fat is then purified and injected into specific points on the buttocks to achieve the desired shape and size. Does a BBL last forever? Up to several years and perhaps even several decades, depending on how well you treat your buttocks during the recovery process. Damn. Got to treat them well. You guys ever do that thing where you go to your doctor and you're like, hey, can I get a BBL? And then your doctor's like, yeah, let me take a look down here. And then you... And then I go, ow!

And he gets blown out the door. You fucking tricked me! You pranked me! Your doctor... I will, every time I go to the doctor, I will say, is now the right time for me to get a BBL? And he says, Mike, no, don't screw with something that's already working for you. And it is?

He said it is? He said it is. He said, you're 39. Your butt looks great. Your anus is tip top. You're going to have a summer on the beach that I don't think anyone's had a better summer on the beach with that body. He's like, see, Mike, you can't see this thing like I can. This thing won't quit. Boom. that I don't think anyone's had a better summer on the beach with that body.

Mike, you can't see this thing like I can. This thing won't quit. Mike, the focus of your summer beach bod is not the butt. We've talked about this. You have vowed to get abs by the 4th of July. That's what I'm saying. I don't have to touch the butt. The butt is doing its own thing.

The butt is on autopilot at this point. Yeah, but even if the butt becomes a pancake ass, you don't worry about it because all eyes are going to be on the six-pack. Right, I'm doing the six-pack. Yeah, work the core. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Wow.

I got to do a crunch at some point. Sayo George. That's another Brazilian musician, huh? You guys know him? He's good. He did all the music for Zizou, right? Steve Zizou? Life Aquatic.

He did all the... Are you guys getting that sweet sting and that little bit of a hot face? Yep. Not really. Well, you're not taking big enough sips. Yeah, there's a reason I'm not taking big enough sips. Mike, save it for the final thoughts. Mike, you bite your tongue. Let's get to that quickly.

Put you out of your misery. Now, because I cheated and shook mine, I don't have any sugar crunchers. Do you guys have any sugar crunchers? Not yet. Let me see what I got down here. Oh, well, you're not drinking with this. I don't think you're supposed to use a straw for this, actually. You can just get down to the bottom.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be able to get to my crunchers. I'm seeing them. I don't need to fish around. I'm seeing them down there. Ooh, it looks good. Can't wait to get down to the crunchers. Now that mine's a little melty, you know what it tastes like is one of those kind of, what's the word for those pops?

Those Mexican fruit vendor pops that are you know the flat one on a popsicle stick delicious um the lime version of those hmm paletas paletas yes yeah there you go palettes is that what it's called? Yep Palettes No, Palitos Alright Folks Should we go to a second round? Yep Okay

We gotta work the advertisement in there somehow We're gonna get a second round going And we'll see ya Right after this now we're back with our final thoughts on caipirinhas michael go ahead do it not an order again for me uh it is this i'm swayed by the smell i do not like the smell or the madness of this madness I don't like it. Grassy? Yeah, I just, I'm not into it. I would, however.

I think you got some bad cachaça because I'm not smelling shit other than like lime and ice. It is true. I may have gotten bad cachaça on this day. I would modify this. I would modify this with tequila. I will try the vodka one. Sure. I think tequila would be good in here.

Well, I mean. Because I do like, I like the just insane amount of lime. Yeah. Yeah. It is insane. That's a lot of lime. Tart to the taste. Timothy.

Delicious. I love it. This soul brand cachaça you got, Jeff. It tastes like tequila to me. So I'm just having just a crushable beach drink. I want to be sitting in the hot sun down in Rio de Janeiro. Rio would be a fun trip for us to take. Yeah.

After we do the thing in Spain where we throw all the tomatoes around. Zip on down to Brazil. Yep. I like this little globe trotting scenario we see ourselves in yeah that'd be nice um this is oh it's an order again for sure the question is is it a stone cold classic oh i don't know uh i like that this drink is different enough where it feels like it gives you somewhere to go i feel like any drink you love immediately, you're just going to get used to it over time. Familiarity, breeding contempt and whatnot.

This gives you like a little bit of a weird thing you got to grapple with. And I think it might be that weird little taste that you really fall in love with. I agree. Let's say you got a couple of friends over at your place. It's a blazing hot Saturday afternoon. Do you want to make a marg? No, everyone has margs all the time. Too salty, they'll say. Too salty.

But you want something with a little spin on it that makes you say, oh. Oh, herbaceous. Like the Sir Paul McCartney Marg. Oh. Herbaceous. Yeah, the McCartney Marg was a weird one. Oh yeah, that was intense. Pretty weird, Macca.

Macco. So, wait. Did you say Stone Cold Classic or no? I'm going to say this. I could see it being a Stone Cold Classic. I think if you say it, it keeps working hard. If you have to think about it, and we've already got somebody who's not ordering it again, I'm afraid that ain't a Stole Cole classic to me. A Stole Cole classic?

Mike hates it. It's official. Yeah, we got two loves and one hate, it sounds like. Okay, two loves, one hate. That reminds me of a... I saw this web video about a certain number of girls and a certain number of cups. Two girls, two cups. Not on the pod.

Not on the pod. Okay. Let's stick around after the pod and we'll talk all about it. Yeah. Keep that on the Patreon. Okay. Nasty. So we've talked about a certain Brazilian drink. Brazil has a rich culture, rich history as Brazil has brought much love

to the world. But Jeff, you brought up specifically recently a certain phenomenon, a certain lift that was Brazilian, right? What did you say? The BBL, baby. That's a Brazilian butt lift. Are you ready for the big butt quiz?

Oh no! Alright, you ready for the big butt quiz oh no all right you ready yeah question uh so i'll ask you uh questions you just blurt out the answer you don't have to buzz in you don't say your name or anything oh perfect oh scary question one wop wop wop this certified freak has said that her butt injections caused the craziest pain ever. Cardi B. Cardi B. Michael Cardi B. Oh, I must have been like frames behind.

That was a glitch. That was lag. I'm looking. I had it even before the question was done, but I was waiting for Tim to. I'm looking at the waveform here of the audio file. He asked if you were two frames behind. Fuck. Okay, question

two. Your past doesn't equal your future. This motivational speaker is six foot seven. He must have a pretty big ass. Tony Robbins. Yes, Jefferson's on board. One, one. How you guys feeling? Good, but I disagree. Good, I could picture him, I just couldn't think of the name. I think your past How are you guys feeling? Good, but I disagree.

I could picture him. I just couldn't think of the name. I think your past does determine your future. Go ahead, Tim. You could be a rival guru, dude. We should watch his documentary for the Patreon. It's fascinating. Oh, yeah.

I've never seen that. Question three. Ouch! This celebrity got his face scarred at one of our old watering holes Jason Momoa Jefferson Ah, okay, so this isn't necessarily people with known big butts

this is just big people Are you meaning to tell me that you think that Jason Momoa doesn't have a big butt? The proportions of the guy, if you measured his ass, do you think his ass isn't big where's j-lo where's kardashian come on okay here we go question number four

this calabasas law woman has met yeezy and skeet kim Kim Kardashian. There you go. She's met Yeezy and Skeet. She met Yeezy and Skeet. She met them. And a lawyer too. Yeah, I guess she's technically a lawyer. You know she's met Ray J. Come on. Wow. Watch it. We're not talking about that tape anymore. 2-2. You guys

are tied. How are you feeling? I feel like a ballerina himself. Yeah, yeah. Me too. Okay. Allah Kazam. This actor starred in Kazam. Shaq. Jefferson. Shaq Attack. Booge. Shaquille O'Neal.

There you go. Okay. Three, two. Next question. Look, we've all heard of a BBL, but this guitar was played by B.B. King. Lucille. Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck.

There you go. A black Gibson SG, I believe it was. Gibson Les Paul. Damn me. And finally, it's tied 3-3. So the winner of this question takes it all home great we the best but i'm not convinced that this full figure dj knows how to read jefferson won it that's right yes one time met djed, and I don't think he knew how to read. Okay, but the winner of the game is Jeff.

How do you feel? Tim, I'm feeling on top of the world, ready to get one of those BBLs. Oh, right. Maybe the winner gets BBL money. Usually we do scratch off money. Hey, here's a little mini quiz. How much do you think a BBL is? I'm going to search for one.

I'm going to say four grand. You know, that's so funny. I never know. I would have thought any type of body modification is like $10,000. Okay. Maybe you're right. I think it's more in the vein of four grand. So this is what Google came up with.

A median industry price of 14 grand. Wow. So ranging from seven to 25 grand, but a median industry price of 14K. That's pretty cheap. So, yeah, I mean, I imagine the Beverly Hills fancy one. I mean, you're going to end up with a square butt if you get a – Ain't nothing wrong with a square head. I don't see why a square butt in there.

Well, seven grand sounds pretty cheap. Maybe we do it. We might be able to, though. Cardi B, the one I was referencing in the quiz, she just had like a butt injection that was $800. It was like in like a basement in New York City before she was famous. She just got – Those are like – But then she probably got it. Those are bad. It was like in like a basement in New York City before she was famous. She just got it. Those are like... But then she probably got it. Those are bad. Redone.

And those are like temporary. You're just kind of like putting liquid into your butt and then it oozes away. Like a lip injection. Yeah. We should get fillers for the Patreon show. Hey, there's plenty of fillers on this pod already. I ain't talking about that kind of

filler oh you mean like the big butt quiz if we went down to no fillers i mean this would be a five minute podcast yeah people just tune in they want to hear about the malort spritz and get out oh good got my news see ya this is all fill or he'll kill her.
