Hello. And Timothy Kalpakis. What is up, dog days of summer style. Yes, we're in person once again, sweating it out. Mike's out here, we're all together in my home. It's sweaty, it's stanky, it's August, folks. It is, it is warm. It's a warm one.

And Jeff made us turn off the AC to record. Jeff, you have to. It's a big deal. You must be professional. Everything must be proper. Every microchip must... Microchip? Microchip.

Jeff, are you using microchips on this thing? This is a microchip podcast. The microchips are all in order. Professional, Jeff. I mean, I'm talking into a microphone with a sock on it. Yeah, that's to make you sound good. Because you, last time you popped your peas. Michael's like, that sock, I've been using it for my red hot chili pepper impression.

Oh, no, no. Red hot chili pepper. I do that alone at home. Hey, look at me. I'm a red hot chili pepper. Look at me. I-eyed chili pepper. I do that alone at home. Hey, look at me. I'm a red-eyed chili pepper. Look at me. I'm Ketus. I'm Dave Navarro briefly.

Ketus and his meatus. Ketus and meatus. That's good. Meatus is what? Part of the dick? The head. No, that's the glans. Oh, the meatus is the hole.

What? The opening of the hole is the meatus. Meatus. Meatus. Meatus. Meatus. See, some people is the meatus. Meatus. Meatus. Meatus. Meatus. See, some people like the meatus. I like the weatus.

Yes. Yep. What was that? I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby. That is a banger of a song. Where'd that come up? Maybe at a karaoke or a wedding or something. It is go-to.

Everyone loves it. But remember, often mislabeled as Weezer on Kazaa. Yeah. Ah, yes. It's weedus. Yeah, it's weedus. Well, you know, it's so hot, I kind of wish I had a nice, cool sipper. Oh, I guess you wouldn't mind a cool down with a drippy sippy, huh?

I wouldn't mind another sidewalk slammer. No, Michael, you learned your lesson. Wait a minute. We all did. We all did. We all did. We learned our lesson. We're taking it easy with a mature original cocktail today. But before we get to that, it's time for booze news.

Hit it. I got this. I can play this. I can play these. Sweet drinks do well on pod. The dry ass pocket pussy. The dry ass pocket pussy. Sweet drinks do good on pod.

Coffee. Coffee. It's losing you with my attention. Camel toe fat, you can see it from the back. Call me. Damn, that was some Meg the Stallion guesting on the end of that. Hey, nice feature. That was Sweet Dreams by Henry Johnston. Sounds like an old blues guy. And if you have a booze news theme, email it to the sloppy boys podcast at gmail.com. Great job,

Henry. Very nice. Henry, you're good. Hey, great job, Hank. I saw as that,

uh, you know, karaoke track was starting. I saw Jeff a little bit. Where are we going with this? How are we going to not get, uh, dinged here?

Oh, with the, uh, rights. Right. Right. Right. I've kind of relaxed on all that stuff.

Yeah, you gotta. Well, I think we relax about it, but still don't send us some minute-long chunk of a song. Yeah, I was kidding when I said I relaxed about it. Yeah, he's uptight about it. Oh, he's mad again. Hey, he's pissed. Okay, booze news. I wanted to...

You guys hate when I do this, but I want to take another look at the charts. I don't hate when you do that. do this, but I want to take another look at the charts. I don't hate when you do that. I like it. It makes me feel fresh and on the beat. I wanted to think you hate it and that I'm kind of a provocateur. No, no, no. We love it.

I like it. I like it because I hear the songs that I, you tell me what the names of the songs that I hear. Yeah, I'll tell you the name of the songs. But I'm doing something very specific. The drink that we're going to get into today is a whiskey drink. So I've had whiskey on the mind. This is a Kelpacus original drink.

Yeah, whiskey. So I've been in the test kitchen and I've been thinking, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey. But now I noticed a trend and I wanted to point it out because it's very funny to me. Remember, one of the times we looked at the pop charts, I played a song called you proof by Morgan Wallen, the kind of like racist COVID country guy. I was going to do it in a country voice. Just there. I thought you were Morgan.

You got to get low. That is wall and ask. Thank you. Well, I'm always curious. We talked about how that's funny. It's like a country song but it's very like auto-tuned and trap beat yeah that type of thing pop country new country so i like listening

to the pop country charts just because the fact i don't like it but it's a fascinating sound um but i noticed that you proof was like a song about like i've been drinking trying to forget you but jacking doing the trick i need something i've been trying 90 to 100 proof but i need something you proof yeah now we thought hey there's a unicorn of a song that's a unique snowflake of a song wrong wrong oh as i've been listening to what's going on in nashville i'm gonna play you uh this is i've put together some clips of four different songs. Wow. Okay. I strung them together.

These are a song by Nate Smith, a song by Elle King. Elle King. Yeah, that's Rob Schneider's daughter. Yeah. She's a good singer. She's made the, she did a country crossover now. Yep. What was her hit?

Didn't she have a hit? X's and O's. X's and O's. X's and O's. They want me. Gotcha. Really good singer We saw her We basically did a show with her

We went to jam in the van When she was there Oh yeah It was jam in the van Oh yeah Okay She's song two then Ingrid Andress

And then Jason Aldean So you can hear four songs All variations on a very similar theme With a little surprise twist toward the end Take a listen to these lyrics folks Ain't gonna wait One more night on a very similar theme with a little surprise twist toward the end. Take a listen to these lyrics, folks. I've heard this. Wishful drinking. I've heard this song. curveball tequila does. Curveball tequila.

Tequila at the end. You got me. So I don't know how many of those lyrics you can make out, but. Quite a few, Tim. Quite a few. The first. Several. Several.

The first one is very similar to You Proof, but he's saying like he's a a girlfriend left him he's been dumped he's been drinking so much whiskey trying to forget her and he's decided you know what this time now i'm drinking whiskey to get over i'm i'm not gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you yeah oh from this point forward i'm optimistic i'm gonna drink my whiskey for fun then worth a shot by l king that's a relationship is falling apart and she wants to get drunk to see if there's still a spark hey it's worth a shot worth a shot of whiskey i like that then wishful drinking very similar thing we're we're drinking uh whiskey to see if maybe we'll get back together okay and then jason aldean that's what Tequila does. He went a whole different route.

But he's saying, it'll make you think the one that got away will come back to you. Because that's what Tequila does. All of these songs are in like the top 20, maybe even like the top 15. I swear I've heard, I think I heard that's what Tequila does like at a grocery store or at a mall or something. Can you believe that? Because I thought it was the one you'd played right i was like no no it's a different one that's kind of similar you know jeff you were making a joke they were like quite a few lyrics it is funny that you can understand every lyric in a country song there's no like ambiguousness to like i guess pop music in general but there are tons of pop music songs

that I'm just like what was that can on your lips man the Britney one I like is what's the one where she yells it leaving behind my name and age in I'm a slave for you I'm a slave for Gru

leaving behind my name and age I'm a slave for Gru I am I love him I'm a slave I'm a name and age My popular one was Taylor Swift got a long list of Ex-lovers and people thought it was Starbucks lovers I thought it was Star-crossed lovers

Anyway but yeah it's interesting that That's part of the reason that music is so popular People can understand it. And hey, how come none of these country guys find solace in weed? That's true. Also, don't you think it's funny, though, that I agree that the-

Or, honestly, methamphetamines. If they were being more honest, I bet that's kind of what's going down. But it's not approved. I've heard Nashville writers say, like, you can't vary from this formula if you want your stuff played on the radio. Yeah, it's got to be trucks, heartbreak, heartbreak dogs and oh i skipped over a lot of truck songs

to focus on the these whiskey songs but isn't it funny that if the vocals are so pushed to the forefront and you can hear every word and that these are more it's more lyrical driven like story songs it's that everyone's telling the same story it's like yeah all of them are are either it's like using whiskey to get a relationship get over a relationship or get a relationship back together but that's the weird one doubting whether or not it's working yeah yeah either like this ain't gonna work or this hasn't been working or let's see if it works yeah the the getting it drinking whiskey to get back together is a funny

idea. Like this will fix it. I don't know if you reach out to an ex and you're like, hey, I got you one shot of whiskey. Want to drink it? Hey, baby, I'm drunk. Your ex opens up a mail. There's an envelope with loose whiskey. I love Jeff.

What's the country song? I'm not going to have much to it, but it's like, Jumping Jam on a Friday night. It's like a... Yeah, yeah. It's like, we're fancy? I don't know. We're fancy on a Friday night.

Something, I thought maybe that would kick a memory, but I don't know. You know what I like is, I got friends in a little place. Yeah, sure, sure. That's Chris Gaines himself. Yeah, and also I didn't play the whole thing, but you know who was featured on the El King track? Who? Dierks Bentley, drunk on a plane.

Dierks? Yeah, drunk on a plane. I'm drunk on a plane. Actually, I could do country music. So, folks, if you're wondering what's should I could do country music So folks If you're wondering What's going down On the country music scene

These days It's people Frustrated with the Effectiveness Of their Liquors Yeah just needing Different proofs too

Yeah needing different proofs Trying to fall in love But with Different proofs I'll say I think you proof Is maybe the worst Of all those

We just listened to I need I'll say I think You Proof is maybe the worst of all those we just listened to. I need something You Proof. I think that that Elle King song is good. I think she's good. I do like the double entendre in these songs. The double entendre. I don't know Nate Smith, but I watched

the music video for Whiskey on You and he's like writing his lyrics out on like a notepad and then he's really headbanging it's like you hear a song you're like that that's like okay maybe that's not good and then you see the guy is so proud of himself you're like no there's a there's brad paisley you know he's yeah like he's maybe a little older like he's not so current he's like 100 yeah yeah no he's like one of the kings he's still current yeah but yeah he's like 100. Yeah. No, he's like one of the kings. He's still current. But yeah, he's like a big timer. Yeah, like he could like play the Super Bowl.

Yeah. Yes. He's got some really funny songs. If you look at him up, like he's got normal country songs, but he's also got songs like about being on the internet. I've been going on the internet. Just grabbing the like topic du jour and make a song about it. topic du jour.

And make a sign about it. I tried all, I ordered all the drizzly whiskey I could, but I'm no longer in love with a Pornhub girl. Get this guy off the internet. I'm getting kicked on for nothing. Mike, stop. Maybe I'll talk like this for the rest of the episode.

Let's please wrap up Booze News. Alright, that's it for Booze News. Gross. Let's please wrap up Booze News Alright that's it for Booze News Gross It's always gotta be so scatological No not always Everything must be nasty huh Well I don't have the samples up and going you know So I gotta do it by mouth Au naturel

Alright Drink of the day? Yeah I'm so curious about it Tim Well it's an original cocktail made by a wonderful guy this is exciting a one-time emmy nominee two-time wga award nominee one time brought coffee for the entire cast and crew of a music video shoot created a drink that is being launched into the public's eye right now. Today. Today. Live. Jeez, it was no good with launching to space.

Coming up. You've heard tell of this probably, but I've been saving it for the dog days specifically. Yeah, right. I remember. We used to beg you, Tim, we're ready for it. Please, please. No, no, no. I'd be sitting on my rocking chair. Not yet, Dutton. It's called the

Southern Sipper. You've heard? I've heard. I yet, nothing. It's called the Southern Sipper. You've heard? I've heard. I'm now hearing. No, never heard, never had. Never had? Never had. I've heard.

You've heard? Where? Legend. Whispers. On the podcast. Yeah, yeah. Sometimes, like when we were on tour, I'd fall asleep and we're like, I'm having nightmares. Southern Sipper.

Gotta figure out how much. Shops! So there's a clue folks there's gonna be schnapps so I invented this drink late one night not a soul was around

not even a little small church mouse and as you know I think I've talked about this a couple things about me i don't drink and drive no i'm a grade a booze on but after two drink if i have the third drink i'm getting an uber another thing about me you might not even know this i don't really drink alone do you guys ever drink when you're by yourself do you drink i drink alone you know what you know what got me drinking alone was uh watching sopranos during covid making up a little old-fashioned i would

like to do that. Yeah, I'll get a drink, like a cocktail going. It would be hard for me to watch Mad Men or Sopranos without drinking, but I watch those, yeah, whatever. But cracking beers, nah. But it's a thing I'm doing lately with, like, scotch. There you go. I'm falling into the scotch thing, and I'm a little,

I don't want to get into it too much. Why? It's too Ron Burgundy-esque yeah scotchy scotch scotch why don't you go down well we'll talk about that off pod I don't really drink alone too much I didn't mean I don't want to get into it like in conversation I don't want to like get too far down a scotch road

I thought that you were proud of it but you don't want to talk about it I was getting worried but so I thought that you were proud of it, but you don't want to talk about it. I was getting worried. But so, yeah, it's not like a rule. I don't drink alone, but I'm not just not often moved to. Sure. But on this sticky summer evening, I was sitting alone, sitting in my solitude.

Summer squash? I just eat all the summer squash I could. Sitting back, sitting in my solitude. Summer squash? I just eaten all the summer squash I could. Sitting back, fan in my brow. Ooh, hot night. And it was black as night outside. Which is appropriate outside at night. It should be black as night. I, for some reason, felt moved to have a kind of a slow, ponderous summer sip.

Oh, so this is like a thinking man's. It's ponderous. It's not a... It's a drink to ponder all your regrets in life. Yeah. Holy shit. You look back and you say, things could have been really different. I should have never taken that sketch comedy class. But it's positive, though.

Like a lot of times you'll see, I imagine, somebody drinking this with a rueful smile. Yeah, but maybe you look back and say, I sure had fun along the way. I'm picturing a nice sweaty short cocktail glass. Yes, we're talking about like the condensation on the outside of the glass. And then the glass goes up to the forehead. Drippy beads. Rivals the condensation on the outside of the glass, and then the glass goes up to the forehead. Drippy beads. Rivals the condensation in the inside of the glass. I was in that mood.

It's as wet on the outside as it is on the inside? Even the inside. The inside's jealous. Scientists study the condensation. It's wetter on the inside. The inside, bone dry. I sat there in my thoughtful isolation and i decided to get drunk which i don't do okay and i dreamed up this drink of bourbon peach schnapps and pay shows bitters okay okay um and now my previous drink that i invented and talked

about in this podcast was the Calpe cordial. Yeah. Two ingredients on that one. Two ingredients. And, and, and vibe wise opposite end of the spectrum, which I said it was a Mary. It's a festy, festy, festive, fuzzy wig style. That was a warm drink. You share with the people you love merrimentriment and jolliness. Cordial.

So it gets cordial. But on the summer night, when I was saying, this is dog days of summer, sitting on the porch, sweating by yourself, fanning your forehead. Here's what you do. You drink this, TV off, lights off. Empty nest. The kids are off at college. Wife is dead. Wife passed. Lights off. Empty nest. The kids are off at college.

The wife is dead. Wife passed. Kids passed. Kids passed their college course. Yes. The valedictorians and graduates tomorrow, you flaked. You flaked. You look across the backyard.

One big headstone, two small ones. And you hoist up your glass. We had good memories. Some fun times along the way. I've had no other way. Your children had long, good lives. You got no regrets of it. And if you want to make a new kid, you got several million sperm just waiting in your

balls. I'll say this. I don't have a porch, so I sat alone in the darkness. But if you guys, let's say you're listening and you live in Alabama or Georgia, go out on your stinky, sweaty porch for this one. Okay. By yourself, though. It's nice. It's lonesome.

I don't know how to meditate or to achieve enlightenment, but this is close to that. When you're isolated and you're drinking this drink, it'll bring you up to that level. And if you're interested in trying it here is my recipe for the southern sipper two ounces of bourbon nice nice now i had often been using maker's mark which i love great sometimes i'll break my own rule i'll use crown royal which is like a blended canadian whiskey but it's kind of sweet i kind of like it well you're not talking a rye no no i'm not talking a rye i'm talking bourbon and today we've got a very special bourbon i don't know if you guys have heard of fucking redwood empire i've heard now this is something i've been trying in uh in the

works for a long time redwood empire has reached out to the sloppy boys said hey we love the pod we'd love to do a collab and we said that would be great don't blame you anyway please the dream of any brand and i said and we said let's find the right thing and i was and i was tinkering with this thing and i said i i could use some fancy ass bourbon to bring my southern sipper to the next level so redwood empire it's a norcal company which i think is kind of cool it's like sonoma county it's a craft these are kind of like bearded guys lumberjacky guys up in the redwood forests making lonesome ponderous dudes trust me they have a lot of regrets on their life now when i told the rep the brand rep for uh for uh redwood empire this

stuff i think is like 50 a bottle it's a nice craft uh bourbon i mentioned i was gonna be mixing it with peach stops and he was like, maybe I won't be telling my boss. Maybe this collab is just for me. But yeah, two ounces of bourbon, one ounce of peach schnapps. I got us DeKuyper,

the original peach tree. Classic. We made famous with the, the fuzzy navel. We talked about how that was introduced in the 70s you're making these for us tonight but i know i got a big old bottle of peach tree waiting for me at home it's got the photograph of the peaches on right exactly the kuiper i think i think uh they all you know i'm sure hyrum walker makes a peach shops as well but this was the one that i

had when we did the fuzzy navel and i unfortunately drank the whole bottle so today i had to buy a second bottle of this. Very sweet on its own, but you mix it with a bourbon, it's good. And now here's the real kicker. Uh-huh. One fat dash of Peychaud's Bitters. You know this stuff? Fat dash, sure we know this.

You're talking about a complex balance drink. This is that, it's a red, it's a New Orleans bitter. It's kind of like spicy licorice. If you overdo it, no good. But if you want just a little edge, you got a sweet thing. You went, yeah, I did two dashes, three dashes, no. But then you just got to do one big, like pick up that bottle and give it a little. Ha! Sprays all over the counter.

Shoots all over the place. Here's the method. Pour ingredients in an old-fashioned glass full of ice stir until melty enjoy alone in the dark oh wow now unfortunately we're all over my place it's 357 and a blindingly sunny hot august day yeah we at least turn off the lights yeah i'm gonna make these but but maybe we close our eyes. Yeah, I'd love to. I'd like to do that.

I'm very tired. Okay, I'll make three of these. Great. Great. Any thoughts, questions, concerns? I have a lot of thoughts and questions, but I'm going to save it until we get going. You know what? I might even put on some sunglasses to just sort of simulate a little bit of the dark.

Let's do that, too. Folks, go get your sunglasses and the aforementioned ingredients, and we'll meet you back here after the ads. Because we assume you're drinking at three in the afternoon as well. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Peace. Peace.

Peace. And we're back with Southern Slippers. Sippers. Jefferson, I will ring your doorbell for that. You're thinking of Michael, Michael and his Slipper Tree. And we're back with Southern Sippers. Actually, I put a little felt on the bottom so that it could be categorized as a slipper for tax purposes. By the way, I had a pair of Converse that had those, the weird felt bottoms. Yeah, there's something.

I think it's like woven into the rubber or something. Yeah, it's weird. It's woven. Okay, you got your zippers here. I had store-bought ice, which is nice, a bag of ice. I was going to mention this earlier. That's a nice, because it's like all chunky, and these are little chunks in here.

This is a good way to do ice. Chunked up. Even in the time I walked these over, they got kind of very melty, so you could add more ice. But I like the meltiness with this drink, because if it's too strong, it's like a Sazerac in old fashion, but you let it get a little melty, and it kind of just drifts you off into the night this has got

one of my favorite drink sounds too yeah inviting yeah so we had some big fat double old-fashioned glass some low balls going on oh it smells good smell i'm trying not to be swayed by the smell i did drop the bottle of bitters but i picked it back up, didn't I? Yeah. I heard a clang. I said, I'm not going to go in there. Okay. Sips. Sips up. Ooh. Now close your eyes when you drink. I got my sunglasses on.

Oh yeah, put your sunglasses on. And imagine you got a lot of regrets in life. Tim, this is funny because it's a southern si sipper but I didn't think it was going to make make me talk I didn't think it was going to make me talk down here like a southern man his voice went low

he sounds like the king the south is the lowest part of a map of America exactly Tim I just want to say thank you for this drink you ain't nothing but a dog of America. Tim, I just want to say thank you for this drink. You ain't nothing but a dog. We gotta win this race. We're gonna win

this race. Eddie Murphy doing an impression of Elvis. Lemonade. Lemonade. Oh man, can you imagine if Elvis was around now he would do that Hound Dog song, but I have a feeling it would be a little something like You ain't nothing but a hypoallergenic

cocker spaniel, dude. It's got all its shots and we made sure to get its tracking chip. You ain't nothing but a hound dog-o. You ain't nothing but a service animal. You ain't nothing but a Did I rescue him or did he rescue me?

Oh! That one's nice. People are too soft with the dogs now. Ooh, Tim, yeah, the nice thing about this is it makes me loud and angry about the dogs in this country. Yeah, well, that's because the dog

days are. Ooh, nice. Drink this drink and think about how dogs are too pampered. Yeah. America's really going to hell in a handbasket. I've seen a dog of masseuse. And I ain't talking about a dog crawling around on your back. They're getting his muscles loosened up. I'm going to take some pics because you guys look funny in your glasses.

I'm looking funny in my sunglasses. That's funny. This is very good, man. That peach is great. Oh, thank you. And the peach makes it, you know, a little cheery. Yeah, it's reflective, but it's not all negative. Yeah, because sometimes you have regrets,

and then other times you think, it wasn't all that bad. You're sort of thinking of your all negative. Yeah, because sometimes you have regrets and then other times you think, it wasn't all that bad. You're sort of thinking of your highlights also. Yeah. I had some nasty little fun along the way. Okay. Good times, bad times. I'm thinking back over my life,

remembered all the times I jerked off. Once. In the doctor's office with my sperm count when he said I ain't got any. That was one good jerk. He had something he called a porno. I had a jerk off at a doctor's

office once, but there wasn't any like cup or receptacle. You know what? My grandfather was from Texas. Skipper Bill? No, no, different one. This is- Peepo? This is TJ.

Stinky. And he, at one point during, I want to say I was in junior high or high school, he said the word, fornography. Like fornication. He was so unfamiliar with porn, porno, pornography. Pornhub. He's like, I got the foreign hub app he misheard he misheard and said like yeah you don't want all that forno and i was like huh he said a pornography and i didn't have the heart to tell him pappy you say you're saying it wrong

there's a hard p wait a minute wait how old were you i was 13 well that's also like you don't want to like out yourself for knowing what porno is but also i was just like i was 13 well that's also like you don't want to like out yourself for knowing what porno is but also i was just like i was stunned by how good-natured my grandfather was that he'd never heard or processed the word porno pornography he knew what was going on he knew he didn't i mean i it does it's an appropriate name well back in the day they would jerk off to like the sides of planes the pretty ladies on the sides of the planes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They don't talk about it in World War II how much all the guys were coming in their pants over the plane sides. Yeah, I guess you're right.

Different times. You're right. Yeah, I mean, it was literally the 1940s. Yeah. Now all of us know how to say porno. Back to the drink for just a second, then we can get back to tug talk. Jeez. Welcome to my tug talk.

This is good. And I want to ask Tim, where do the flavors come from? Was this based off anything? Is there a drink with a peach lean with whiskey at all? The paste shows. Well, I've been drinking,

you know, peach schnapps is a, it's sweet, right? So like we've learned, when you're making a sour, this is not a sour, but like when you're making a sour, you could use simple syrup or something, but you could also use triple sec or like amaretto, you know, like a sweet liqueur. So that's what I've been kind of using all my schnapps and all my sweeties around, realizing, yes, if you use a lot of of them the drink tastes like the fruit or whatever but if you just use them in as like your sweetening agent it just puts a little bit of a hint there so i was in the mood for a sazerac or an old-fashioned but i wanted something a little bit sweeter so in in in the test kitchen with this one i was trying to make it so you get a hint of the peach and it

feels summery like a peach aftertaste but it's not cloying you're not taking just fucking cheap schnapps to the dome you know because this stuff if you just have peach schnapps on the rocks or even if i've done it half and half bourbon and peach and it's like pretty fakey and and uh you know this would feel right at home home in the golden age of cocktails. You know? Yeah. Because normally you think when the peach schnapps comes out, we're talking dark ages, we're talking the 80s, we're talking the fruity, juicy, fakey stuff.

This does feel like it's distinguished. Jeff, I would say this is where old meets new. Whoa, retrofuturism. The sloppy boys. Where old meets new. Whoa, retrofuturism. The Sloppy Boys, where old meets new. This is steampunk. This is pretty steampunk. I could be in a big old dirigible drinking room. This is Zelda's Link in steampunk fashion.

That's awesome. And then the Peychaud's, you know, we've heard bitters described as the salt and pepper of cocktails, the seasoning of cocktails and i think that uh yeah the pay shows it just gives a little bit of an edge because if you just had actually this redwood uh empire bourbon is pretty like bitey and like lively it's almost kind of rye-ish yeah is there like a what's is it like 90 proof is it up there it must

be i think it is um it feels it's it feels like yeah it's zippy it's it up there? It must be. I think it is. It feels zippy. It's got bite. Yeah, it's zippy. It's got a bite. I typically was making this with makers, which is more of a caramelized taste. Yep. So I needed the Peychaud's to have an edge so that it wasn't almost just like under this flat round taste. So yeah, if you're using kind of more of a sweet bourbon then then the bitters

brings it alive but this is this made it a zippy bourbon and a bitters made this kind of a zippy cocktail yeah i like the the the small micro corrections that the ingredients give it yeah this is a bourbon this is like a big old bourbon glass. Yeah. And just enough peach to knock it off center. Yeah. And just enough bitters to knock it a little bit even back. Budge it back over here. See, I think if I... I can't pull the bitters out just by tasting it,

but I had one without bitters, I would be able to tell. But I can't... My tongue can do the peach and the whiskus, but it's not... it can't really pull the that's good whiskus out um yeah if you had it without you tell it's very subtle but it's also it's also giving a little bit of color which i like the payshodes is pink and this drink would be almost clear sometimes because the the peach tree is clear. So it kind of gives it a little bit of a gold to it, too. This looks like what Dr. Hammond's skaters got caught in.

Mm-hmm. On Jurassic Park. Amber. Yes. It's that color. Amber. The color of my energy. Mm-hmm.

Thank you. Thank you for saying it. If they ever reshoot, I know they did one remake, but if they do a third version of Pet Sematary. Yeah. And they have the old guy sitting on the rocking chair on the porch watching the road. I'm going to petition to see if I can play the role. And then I would say oh yeah i don't need any art uh yeah i don't need any props i'll bring my own props that day and

then they look in my hand and then the prop department's like okay finally we don't have to do we don't have to handle this the actor has it covered we're going to vegas that day let's just do it a drunk unsettled well that that film takes place in Maine. Not very southern. This bourbon is made in NorCal. That's what's cool is that it's the south of the mind. This feels like going back to country music, modern country music. You know, a lot of country people,

they're not from the south, but they come to a southern place. Nashville or wherever, yeah. But it's, you know, there's a lot of picking up and moving to a southern spot. Not unlike this drink. It's a SoCal drink. We picked up and moved to a southern spot. Not unlike this drink. It's a SoCal drink. We picked up and moved south.

Yeah. If you think about it. If you really stop and think about it. From New York to LA. If you stop. If you take out the map and you read the latitudes, we technically went south. But there's also the thing. The south is, you know, picture your Miley Cyrus, right?

You hopped off the plane at LA. Hey Tim, gladly. Oh no, I'm dorky. Just don't look, uh, just don't look below my shirt level.

Oh God. My shirt. Has anyone ever done a Marley Cyrus? And it's like Bob Marley doing Miley Cyrus song. Uh, no one ever has. No. Cause it's not good or.

Yeah. You know, you should try it. I think, I think we're on a good track. Because it's not good. Yeah. Somebody should try it. I think we're on a good track that no one's done it, and I think it reflects great on us as a civilization. Just try it. Or it could be the other way. Miley Cyrus doing Bob Marley songs.

So you want people to try it. After they try it, reach out to you, let you know, like, Mike, it blew up in my face. Yeah. You don't have to send it in. We're not going to play it on the thing unless it's good. But, you know, we want to know. I sunk my kid's college tuition for me to do this, and it just didn't pan out.

It didn't work. I had a whole studio built. It sucked. It sucked. Here's a funny thought. You were about to say something about Miley Cyrus. Yeah, you said picture Miley Cyrus. She hops off the plane at LAX. She hears

Britney. She has a party in the USA, right? But you can tell she's a southern girl at heart. So she brings Nashville with her wherever she goes. You can take the girl out of Nashville, it seems like, but you almost can't. Sometimes you can't take the Nashville out of the girl.

And sometimes you're in Montauk and you're in an Uber and they keep playing Party in the girl. And sometimes you're in Montauk and you're in an Uber and they keep playing Party in the USA. For this, you can take me out of this house, but you're not going to take this drink out of me. Unless you wait a little bit and then you piss it out. Maybe. We'll see how it goes.

I think Mike's going to hold onto this one. This drink's so good, Mike just not piss it out. You should be able to pick. I know, this is what I want to do. The Southern Simmer. A drink so good, might just not piss it out. This drink, it's so... You should be able to pick. I know, this is what I want to do. The Southern Sipper. A drink so good, you ain't going to piss it out. You ain't pissing this one out.

You ain't pissing this out. That would be a really good beer celebrity. I'm Luke Cole. A guy kind of doing a bathroom dance. What's the problem? He's like, I just drank the Bud Light Night. It's so good, I don't want to piss it out. I just drank the bud light night it's so good i know i just drank the other brand get me to yeah i'm glad we this one out yeah

i'm i wear a catheter when i drink miller hi folks i'm malice harris's father i feel like you're talking about southern super this is the drink you don't want this is just too silly i think oh no we're getting silly normally this would be like for the blowout what you're about to say no no no just just all the stuff normally this is like the primo paywall patreon type content oh yeah oh so you think you feel bad that people are getting this for free because it's so funny yeah yeah and we hold we usually hold back on the main. Yeah.

The main is like mainstream entertainment, and the Patreon is more like the cutting edge, unvarnished, real shit. Well, I'll bring you back some boring stuff. Isn't it funny how a lot of states now... Thanks, Mike. Thanks for... There are so many... This is a California whiskey. Thanks, Mike. Thanks for... There are so many...

This is a California whiskey. It seems like there's a ton of California liquors or a ton of New York liquors or each... Creating craft liquors is a huge industry in each state. It really is. I just wonder... I was at a whiskey bar recently and I looked at the shelf of all the whiskeys.

It was like 70. And I was like, why do that you know we only really need like four and and and like the fact that businesses can keep opening up they wouldn't do it if they weren't making money someone says you know what i've always wanted a barrel age some grain juice and then they do it and everyone buys it and we have this like what do they each purport to bring to the table? What's the value proposition for each of these additional whiskeys? I'll tell you one thing.

Redwood Empire, they make a fine product, but even more so they have good taste in podcasts. They're out there listening. They don't want any of that comedy, bang, bang, bullshit. Well, in these days, it's not about just the product it's about what do you associate yourself with thank you and this drink images everything image it they have aligned themselves with a podcast fun podcast fun times it's it's you know what it is it's the the branding it's it's aspirational lifestyle people yeah you have to show the people what they want to be and and inspire yeah you drink this whiskey you're going

to be the type of guy who's in a living room sweating talking about the whiskey by himself or a guy who told you looking at the gravestones yeah yeah you could be a widower or you could be a widower. Or you could be a comedy writer who purposely turned the TV off and just stared. TV, which is part of his job is to watch TV. I write so much TV that I can't watch. At the end of a long day. Because when I'm watching TV, I'm just seeing the act breaks. I know. That's awful.

And sometimes I'll give it up. I'll watch, for example, The British Office. I'll see a nice act break. I'll say, I like what you did there. Yeah. Oh, very nice. Very nice. Oh, The Cold Open.

Oh, no, this is the tag. My hat. Is this the beginning of the show or the end? For the end. Oh, yes. Very well done. And in the middle? The middle.

I must have been drinking too many Southern Slippers. I fell asleep. I got fucking tanked on peach schnapps. I know I haven't worked in months. I got myself a little summer splash here. Oh, splash down. It'll do that, Jeff. It'll do that.

I think you've got a new regret to look back on. Oh, I did splash my shirt that time. I remember when I got that t-shirt. I swore I'd keep it nice and pretty, but no, I made a mess of it. Well, what do you say we take a little break? We'll come back and Tim, I can't imagine how I'd tweak it. Can't imagine. The one tweak I would offer is I did bring over the peach tree schnapps in case you would like to customize and make it peachier.

I'm just always trying to hit that level where it doesn't taste like a peach but you're breathing peach well tim i could eat a peach for hours movie reference this the only thing i would do to tweak this the only thing i would attempt just this being my first one maraschino cherry in there oh i love that seems like it would make some a little sense you is this would this make it too chintzy it's kind of a classy old school drink what if i got one of those little peach rings like a haribo peach ring uh-huh would that work or would that be then then i think then we're in the dark ages again well well no you know what it's yeah dark what about a nice real actual peach slice no you've never seen that. Whole peach floating in the middle.

Peach pit. Just the pit. I feel like that's kind of a newish thing. Like putting a piece of candy in something or putting a whole slider into a Bloody Mary is like, we've gotten to the cocktail era again. And now we're doing like, wheeze, a wacko thing just to make me look different. It would be good to do the slider with this. It's like a whiskey old-fashioned.

And a small burger. I put a hot dog in this one. Hey, you could stir around and use a hot dog as a swizzle stick. Pretty good. It could be good. Oh, we were going to go to break. Are we still going to? Yeah.

Yeah, let's do it. Great. Folks, go get your tweaks ready. See if you can personalize this above average drink. And let us know what's the tweak of the week. And we're back. Sipping on a southern sipper. It's a slow one here today.

Yeah, I sure wish all my men and children were still with me. But I got a lot of memories of their piano recital. They hit the wrong note. All my kids were sitting on the the wrong note. They were all, all my kids were sitting on the bench and then they were playing and then they hit the wrong note. You kids will never be going to the Sarbonne.

Let alone Juilliard. That's what I meant. Let alone. No tweaks necessary. This one is good to go. Yeah, this is a brand new thing if there's if you're trying to tweak this already slow down why don't you get your head tweaked enjoy life we don't you can't be living i know a lot of people are tweak life tweak life you know tweak culture you hear that all the time tweak life rise life, tweak life. Rise and tweak. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, take a moment to stop and look around you for a second, because life is, you're

missing your life. Would you perfect a beautiful sunrise or the Grand Canyon? You might perfect a bad sunrise. Well. Again, when we have a new drink, folks, we want you to go out and talk to your local bartender and tell them you want a Southern Sipper and record what they have to say. Yep.

Another funny experience. Go to your liquor store. Look for peach schnapps. You don't really find it. And then you go to the guy. Get peach schnapps and he has to look around and there's a kind of one dusty bottle down by his feet. And he goes this and you say,

that's it, my man. That's the exact experience I had. were sold out at albertson's had to go to a little liquor store next door no way damn yep damn damn damn i feel like peach schnapps is readily available yeah peach tree de kuyper huh this is a an oa for me yeah damn uh-A and A and A and A. Now, O-A was a Netflix series, no? Mm-hmm. This is a watch while, or drink while watching O-A. Yeah, put on the O-A and drink these all night.

For me, just to make it shorter and more convenient, O-A with a cubed, with the small three up in the corner. Yes. Good. To the third power. To the third power. Tim, what do you say? Yeah, for me. OA for you?

For me, this is an OA. I'll make it again. I'll order again. But I want to order it at a bar and see if a bartender could even attempt it. Now, you could probably say, I have a bourbon and peach schnapps

and then they'll say, let me look if I have peach schnapps and they'll come back and be like, yeah. And then he's like, can I have one fat dash of payshodes and they're like yeah fine they're exhausted you tell them one thing but see that's that's kind of that vibe that you want them to be yeah and then they're staring off in the middle distance and you say hey bartender i know what you need why don't you make another one for yourself join me out on the veranda why don't you yeah he's got many one for yourself? Join me out on the veranda.

Why don't you? He's got many people that want drinks. He's out in the veranda with you. You know what's kind of a party foul? Like sometimes I'll be at a bar. Farting. Stop. Sometimes you go to Urestic, you want to watch the Dodger game, right?

Sure. But everybody's watching. They are a hot team right now in the NL. Everybody's watching some other sport. Oh yeah. Okay. There's, you know,

I mean, football kind of takes precedence because the games seem to be more precious, but let's say it's basketball. And then there's eight, there's eight TVs with Clipper game on. And I say, can I watch the Dodger game?

And they'll say, they'll switch over. They'll do it. There's eight TV with Clipper game on. Oh, I've done too many southern sips um sometimes they have to open up the the direct tv and it's kind of hard to find the thing yeah they say they don't have sports in l.a whatever that's all fine but have you ever gone like especially if it's a sports bar you ask him could one of these tvs be playing the oa yeah they don't love love that because it's a streaming show. Yeah.

And just, it doesn't give the other patrons like anything to root for. They want to clap and they want to root for a team. Yeah. Man, I love going to a bar and they're playing a game and they've got the sound of the game on the PA system. Oh yeah. That's great.

Like that's kind of like playoff time. Yeah. Yeah. The whole, everyone there is into the same thing. People are arriving for time. Yeah. Yeah. The whole, everyone there is into the same thing. People are arriving for that. Yeah. Well, you guys know about the Southern Sipper. Mm-hmm.

But do you know about the Southern Sipper quiz? No. No. And I don't think you do either. Here it comes. You did not have a quiz, Mike. I have a quiz. Off the dome.

You told us you didn't have a quiz. Don't say that. This is a quiz. Okay. Okay. Okay. Sorry. Come on. This is a quiz. Say that. Okay. Off the dome. You told us you didn't have a quiz. Don't say that. This is a quiz. Okay, okay. Sorry. Come on. This is a quiz.

Say that. Okay, come on. You say that to me. Okay. Question one of the Southern Super Quiz. Okay. Two are false. One of the ingredients of this drink is Angostura bitters. False.

False. Nice, Jeff. One. Damn. I should have got that. I beat the master. Oh. Let's see. Oh, Jeff. One. Damn. I should have got that. I beat the master. Oh. Let's see.

Oh, boy. True or false? Uh-huh. A southern sipper uses peach schnapps. True. Tied up. Tim, nice. I don't know about this quiz.

I just don't know if this will make the cut. What? Last question. You need something on the editing room floor. Last question. And there are, this is not a... Bourbon. No. This is not one of those things where it's like, oh, can I use

my extra point? We do talk. We do that all the time, and this is not one of those. This is it. Especially since it's tied. What is the name of the bourbon in this drink? Redwood Empire. Damn, you won it.

I won the quiz, and I made a drink that's in Oregon. I'm on top of the world. And when I get that scratch-off money, I hope I win the big bucks. Ooh, shit. I forgot to mention there is no scratch-off money in the Southern Zipper quiz. I might honestly just use some of my own money to buy some scratch-offs. Powerball. Let me know if you win.

I didn't say Powerball. I said scratch-off. I'm saying Powerball. If you guys do Powerball and let me in on it, I want to get in on some of that cash. Okay, if I play Powerball and I win, let you in on it? Some of the cash. Oh, because you want the cash. Oh, okay.

That's right. Yeah, I wouldn't mind being filthy rich, huh? With all the cash? With all the cash? With all that cash? Hard not to be. And Tim, if you don't win, keep it to yourself. I don't need to be down. I don't need another regret to be drinking away.

I've got enough reasons to drink this drink. I've got to regret my friend bought a bad Powerball ticket. I'm dripping with sweat. I feel disgusting. How about you guys? Good. Yes. Same.

Time to wrap it up. Oh, look at all the condensation on the outside of my glass. It's almost as much as there is inside. Oh, on the forehead. That's nice. Woo! Woo! These Louisiana nights! These
