Come on out and have some fun for once in your whole fucking life, okay , folks Hey folks, welcome to the Sloppy Boys where we take a deep dive into the drinks that you love. I'm Jeff Dutton, along with Mike Hanford . And Tim Calpacus, what he is up? What's up guys? Yeah, we won't be talking about sports today. I want to know what movies have you seen? The movies are what everybody talks about day back rooms obsession . That's right , Jeff , you are so predictable . Here the World Cup is happening. If you understand this, Jeff, in our nation, we have other nations coming together to celebrate one thing . Our least popular sport. And you know what they're not celebrating? They're not celebrating walking around the back rooms. Yeah, they are. They should be. They ought to be. They're probably walking around some of those back rooms when they're trying to get to the field . Sports versus film folks , we want to hear from you. Let us know . Okay, I'll tell you what, Charlie didn't say anything about sports. She said music, fashion film won't save us, but maybe World Cup will save us . I really bit my finger though, so I'm not too cool. I'm not hip on Charlie right now. No, Jeff, listen to me did you see my text? We the sloppy boys is right. I'm going to say it now. We're officially picking curacao, the country of Curacao as our World Cup team to follow . This is true, Mike, very good. I forgot all about that Curacao , the official team of the sloppy boys LLC. Folks, get into them . Curacao is their first as we all know, it's the blue liqueur that we have celebrated several times on this pod with you'd have to go on a sloppy drinks. com to figure out which drinks, but check that out folks. And you can get to it by going to sloppyboys. com sloppyboys. com where we got our merch and every other link you could possibly want, but cursow folks. It's their first time in the tournament ever. Yeah, you wouldn't have that blue blue audio smotherfucker if not for Curacao. Audio , that's right, that's right. It's the first time in there, this tiny little nation , where the hell are they? They're dug down kind of by Aruba, yeah, they're not a Spanish colony . Caribbean I'll say Caribbean, but it's very close to Venezuela. So what do we think? What do we think about that? I think it's a Caribbean Caribbean nation . But it's very exciting that we are we haven't sent any money to them yet, but we're sort of the unofficial sponsors. I've been sending money privately. Oh . Well, we're sort of backing them . We're backing them, emotionally for now, for now. Maybe Badger Bev can get off its butt and get some money down the curse out . Send them some drinks, bedroom beds rear . Mike, did you have to subscribe to any service to watch World Cup games? Did you guys have I did. They all're on Fox, but I had to get the Fox One app because I don't have cable . I'm not a soccer fan, but just when everyone was like, it starts today. I was like, I'll put this thing on. So I subscribe to like through YouTube. You could just get the Fox One channel YouTube. So then YouTube. So then there's a bunch of sports going on there. I so I don't I mean soccer is fun just because you know the whole world's watching like the Olympics or something like that. But I must admit as much as I don't want to feel this way and to all you soccer fans listening, get ready to be mad at me . I know I got friends who are really into soccer, right? Neil Campbell, huge in soccer, Jocelyn Richard, huge in so theccer. My friend Garth has friends in low places. Garth brokes, Jeff, he's talking about. Don't even call Timmy, you don't even slow down all that stupid shit, just keep going . So I was talking about my friends were into soccer and then you thought about friends and now you've gone. Now we're wasting so much time. Well, Tim, you made the you made the error of saying friends. You said the word friends . No, you said no, no, you said I 've got friends. Okay , okay. If you just say the word friends, I'm going to go on and anyone stop Okay, so like as a guy who's not a big sports guy, I see people jumping up and down for sports and I'm like, look for them, they love it, you know ? And like, for example, I'm from upstate New York. So when, you know, like Nick's seeing a lot of back home friends excited about the Nicks, like they love that team through the hard times . But for some reason with TUSA, just because I know like soccer is this international thing and that it's not the number one sport in America . When I see up Team USA fans like crying and jumping up and down and screaming and stuff , I can't help but think that they're faking it and just that 's like this is the way a soccer f an acts because you'll be like, hell yeah, my NBA team. Hell yeah, my NFL team and then when Team USA scores a goal they're like Yeah, I I agree. It always looks like the American team is sort of like or that the fans are like cosplaying a little bit. Yeah, and it's it's just like I wish I didn't feel his way, but there's this kind of air of pretension because it's a worldly sport and it's an international sport. So like a lot of bookish guys I know are soccer fans. You're kind of a book guy. You joke, but I actually did a birthday boy sketch called Book Guy Now on Instagram. I know I joked in that thing with you. That was the joke within the comedy sketch we joked yes. That's why I said you joke because I'm referring to the video. You joked when you were in that sketch . Jeff, what do you say? Do you think people really like soccer or they're being performative males? I think looking up in my face, I thought we were gonna really go for cursow and the world cup . But co host did not take the Q . Maybe if you guys needed a few more improv classes at UCB. No, and I'd like to move on to Boost News, please. Try to do one good thing thing . So we're not talking about movies. We're just not we're not gonna talk about dance. Oh head, what the hell? I'm you from the fucking host here. Folks, we'd like to nominate who the official director of the Sloppy Boys LC is Cain Parsons. That's right, young, young Kane Parsons edged out Curry Barker for the title of the official young director of the Sloppy Boys LLC. Congrats Kane. Congrats, Kane I didn't know every LLC had official teams and directors. We got all sorts of official shit. Didn't y'all look at the sheet oh, that's our official young director because our official direct or is Pete Pete Anderson sorry our t shirt ones on a PA and he said, What's that? So now he knows who we are. He said it looked cool and he was gonna look into it. We're just no word. He said he was gonna look into it . He said, I'll have to check him out. I'll have to check him out. Good, good . He will . He will. Pete, if if you you did drop, us a line and come on the pod and defend yourself Pete . Mike , speaking of your you bring up a topic and blowing up your in your face 'cause me and Jeffton, yes, Andy. I also another thing off to a bad start here . Did you guys realize that right before we start rolling, right in a row, all three of us had tech problems, but we took turns? Yeah. Jeff sent the email to start this podcast. Jeff's email never sent. Then Mike, his microphone wasn't working. He had to restart, and then everyone's a thing was ready to go. Tim's computer crashed. This is like a haunted episode. It should be our October episode. Maybe we'll drop it again once . That was gonna say let's hold it for October, but no let's drop it now and in October. We're not doing double work . Yeah, we'll take October off. We already get this in the can . Although I did this is my last negative thing I'm going to say. Then I'm going to be all positive . Also before I was working today like on a bunch of shit and then I was like , ooh, Tim, you gotta get in pod mode, but I felt like I wasn't there, you know, like I was like, I'm not locked in. Yeah. And how do you guys get into pod mode anyway? How do you bud It was it was ten minutes before we go. I was like, I don't feel like I'm funny loose, Tim. I know I'm gonna go for a walk. And just a quick six minute lap around the block. So I'm walking around the block and then Tim, you know, a lot there's of seniors out there . And trust me, they've been congregating outside my house. Especially when we record for you that they're heading off to that silver special home in the blue Early what am I trying to say? Early bird special. There's a lot of matinees happening . This is their moment to shine. Early bird time. No, Tim's coming out. You see him slowly scurrying off the streets They turn their walkers around and okay, luckily I didn't encounter any seniors, but as I walked, I was like, I'm still not feeling locked in. And then I thought, maybe I'm having a cortisol , cortisol spike. Oh yeah. Then I remembered a headline I just read, if you're experiencing a cortisol spike, stick your tongue out for forty seconds. I saw this, Tim . And it said that article had a lot of specifics. It's like it has to be exactly forty seconds, what? It's like , it doesn't do the trick if it's thirty nine. If you go for forty one, then you overdid it, you went to tired, and now you're grumpy again. You have to go to the emergency room. For life . We should should do do we as an LLC though next time we'll all do it. Stick our tongues out? We should do it as a whole blowout episode . Well, what we should do though if we're sticking our tongues out one person at a time though so we don't run into it for secondtys at a time. No, we all do it forty seconds of silence and so does the listener. And all the chordus all in the world just plummet . And the rest of the episode's really happy. And then the world the world is joining hands across the nation. It's Cortisol is the only villain in the whole directory. Or at least a hundred people in each state . What is I mean, like cortisol is just one of these catch or not catch all, but the word of word de journal on Instagram. It's just like the bad toxins. It's the stress chemical, Mike. Right. It's like when something bad happens to you and your brain is like, Hey body, something bad happened up here, then the chemical that goes through into your blood stream is cortisol . And the problem with it is it sticks around. Like that's why you could be in a bad mood for a while after something happens . And kind of famously, I think this is coming up a lot as a men's thing 'cause it's like allegedly women can access their emotions, put 'em away and move on faster, whereas a man will be in a bad mood for forty eight hours after an argument or something. After a cursal loss, God . Oh God , you have a one track mind. As of this recording, they got spanked by Germany seven to one . That doesn't mean they're eliminated. No, no, they've got guaranteed three games, but I don't know if they get out of the stage. What? Go ahead, seven to one . So I'm walking and I say, Tim, give yourself forty seconds to stick your tongue out. I go full on mode. Tongue all the way out, right? Yeah , and I'm walking. I got a good like twenty seconds under my belt. Then I round the corner and I'm walking and then I'm like, I don't know, I got about fifteen seconds left. But then there's a girl walking towards me with her dog, walking her dog and I'm thinking, I can't have this lady see me sticking my tongue out like this A weird and embarrassing B. I'll be me too . It was kind of a, you know, the I'm fully aged. Yeah, you're doing it. You look like Jim Carey in the mask with your tongue all unravels . Tragging on the ground. I looked like the emoji like it's like some morning. It's like , you know, but you also don't want to ruin your forty. Exactly. And I didn't want to have to start over a new forty. There's nothing worse than starting a new forty, amen? This is forty this is forty They're coming up with a sequel called Free Deases stick out So this is how Tim thinks in the clutch. What I did instantly , I just I hold my hand up in front of my mouth. My God and I just finished I finished my time. I walked past her slow. She saw a man who was holding up his hand in front of his face . I also saw man free of cortisol, all cortisol . Yeah. But then I sat down I felt locked in, ready to go and then we had our tech problems. And then I googled to all of our astrology fans out there when we had our three tech roms, I googled if Mercury is in retrograde and it's not astrology's fake. Is anything retro is anything in retrograde? Is anything in retrograde? Fashion is retro , baby . Now I'll take it. Why did we get in some booze news? Booz news, hit it . Which in the city would ? Which in the city Which is in the streets? Which in the city ? Which in the streets What ? , alright She's a wish Rich in the safe day and a bitch in the streets a wish Watch in the same day and a virgin street She's a witch Watch in the Secretary Witchin' around What? Yeah . All right . Which in the city was sent to us by O Aw anden if you have a booze news team email it to the sloppy boys podcast at gemmail dot com dot Damn Order ONA. Yeah, he's been around before. That was a good one. And hey , it seems like this is the witchy spooky episode. We do have to save this October. This is fully our way. This is a bitch in the city . Now why is it when we were singing that bitch in the city? Bitch in the streets? Are there no streets in the city? What is a city but a mere grated streets ? It's true, that's true. She's inside interiors . She's in the back rooms I really like that. I also like we joke a lot about what? Yeah . Yeah, getting a song with some perplexing thing that's like, what? Yeah. And then the guy just comes in, yeah . And nice thermon work also, owe. Yeah shit. I would owe a theme from him again. Order again from the theme. Send him in, owing, we're waiting on you. Everyone else were shutting you down for a little while. Yeah, you old him. Sorry tapper. Sorry Tapper. All right, Timmy, what's the well wait, not even necessarily Tim. Is Tim the editor in chief? Yes, sure. Anybody can have booze news though. I know that I don't. Who's got it? Okay, I just wanted to do a little follow up on a story we've been tracking. Do you guys remember a few weeks ago in not so much just this conversation about the drink of the summer twenty twenty six, which tends to be a conversation that can piss us off . Just an actual exploding trend right now that is happening organically , we talked about a few weeks ago was soft serve margaritas. Do you remember? Yes, yes, yes, yes. We googled them. They're very pleasing to look at because they'll be like twisty two colors in their pastel and you need a soft serve machine to make them . Started in Cleveland and then it was spreading . And I think that I mentioned to you guys a headline that was like from a Philadelphia newspaper that was like , here's the bars in Philadelphia that have soft serve machines so you can go get these or whatever . This has been a funny thing that's been grown in the last few weeks . This drink is spreading and it's pretty much everywhere now, but it's the conversation is so specific because it's about like b ars tracking down machines. So I copy pasted seven headlines from around the country, but listen, how similar it's where to find soft serve margaritas in Metro Detroit . Where to find viral soft serve margarita trends in Des Moines ? These viral soft serve margaritas have made their way to Iowa from Royal Oak Michigan. Soft serve margaritas arrive at are oura Mexican restaurant . Viral soft served margaritas arrive in Gulf Bries, Florida. We are obsessing over the soft served margarites in Toronto. That's where they arrived after all. Right. And it's also like you would just say like, hey, there's this drink somewhere, but they're assuming that we've all been waiting. Yeah. It's not like the circus is in town . We should make it our duty this week as from the Booze News Desk to all go out and get one of these things and report back. Yeah. I bet LA's got 'em. Tim, have you come across them? I've got a list. I have not seen it with my eyeballs, but I read that there's a place in Pasadena called Cultura's Latin Kitchen in Cantina. And then there's a chain that's got that's called Calaver as and they have locations in Silver Lake, Burbank, and all over Socal And now Mikey in New York, there's Mama Coco in Queens, Colima Tagaria in the Bronx, Velvet Room in Brooklyn. Oh, this would be your move. It's in Brownsville, like east of Crown Heights. Velonia. Okay , I'll check it out. And then in Manhattan, they have Tipsy Scoop twenty sixth and third. Oh, I've heard of Tipsy Scoop before. Tipsy scoop. Like that's been around for a while, right? Tipsy. I think so Tipsy scoop has been doing their own thing and then this trend happened. So they're like, okay, we'll just have that flavor too . So they were probably locked and ready to go with the machine. But anyway, slop heads, if you've I'm only still seeing these as like a thing that people are waiting on or frustrated by, but if you're out there and you're eating these, take a picture and put it on Instagram because I want to see the slop heads. Get in on the trend . Now I'm saying Yeah, it's time to it's time to get in on the trend instead of trying to get in watch it pass by . Get in it and get out. Yeah, we want to see the slurp. Send in your slurps . Hey, we haven't we haven't been hearing too much about the pissing shit out there for I mean, we've been hearing about, but we it haven't been getting little voice memos or videos about the piss and shit. I hope that's not dying out folks. Oh no, it's not. I think it's actually going strong and it's taken on a life of its own, Mike. It doesn't need to report it's out there . It's already world. It's already gotten bigger. So it's on the dark internet, the dark web? Yeah, it's on four channel. It's on four channel, Fortnite, eight channel eight night . Imagine eight night. Imagine eight nights. Oh God, I would imagine. I could imagine fuck . That's the type of thing that would be a rumor . Like when we were kids, it'd be like, oh, my cousin has nightclass man. I had a kid in my school say that he plugged in his Nintendo and a Sega Genesis into the same TV and then you can play Mario versus Sonic. That is creative. It makes sense that that should work, but no way he tried it . I had a kid on my bus once in like grade school tell me he was like, yeah, I can get you a Nintendo if you want. I was like, really? He's like, Yeah, just my mom buy you one. I was like, great. It's like, do that. Okay. And it would like every day I'd be like, does that come in? what O'rs happening with me? I was like, Oh yeah, I gotta ask my mom. Like after I was like, Oh man , I'm an idiot . A busy mom. She just didn't have time to take time for her son to buy a kid she's never heard of before. I remember being there a rumor like some kid with no friends in my school was like, yeah, no , he's given away all these video games if you like go hang out with them and I was like I don't know if I want to hang out with them. Is that true I've got some piece of news here, Jeff. You want to play my play the theme here. All right peace up yes Hanford Out and . Yes, it's time for another installment of Hanford Out and About where I'm out . Huh? I've never heard that before. Another installment. Yes, sorry. That is, this is a property I brought over from a different podcast these are all this is property. Did you license it? No, damn it, no we're fart . No. Yes, this is a brand new segment. This is Hanford Out and About. This is where I'll be out and about and I come across something and I want to share it with you two and then eventually the whole audience. Folks, I was out recently and about headed to New Jersey. I was going to Kevin Smith's cinema. Napa Boys was gonna screen there and he was going to introduce in the movie. And Nick and Armin were with us, excuse me, with me, and we went out there and rather I was with them. It's their movie . And we stopped at a rest stop to go to the bathroom and get some drinks and while I was in there, I found a little something I'd never seen before called Fireball Blazin Apple. Yeah . You have not seen this? No , let me see. It is, I want to see what the What's the proof on that thing? sixteen point five percent alcohol, so it's one of these gas station , right? That's a little like technically wine . Yeah . Let me see what the bouquet is . Ooh all right, here we go. A live test . This is Hanford out and about. Curious if it's cinnamon apple or just apple. Now, folks, we came across this with angry orchard and putting a fireball in angry orchard in a way . Too many flavors, too many competing chemically fake flavors . Like you know what I mean? Like the cinnamon of a fire of like a red hot fake , it's a fake cinnamon tape. And then the apple here is also very fakey and they do not work well together. Is the apple there going for like a sour apple pucker? Yeah . Yeah, it's like it's like a sour apple thing. I guess that's all apple candies , all artificial apple is always that, right? You never had the green apple version. Yeah, you never get a fuji. Yeah, it's never like there's a red delicious. Yeah, yeah. This is this is bad, but I will say like I only did half of it I, don and't even it's making me sick. It's making wretched to even think about doing another one. But I'm gonna throw it in the freezer when we make the drinks for the day and then see how it is. That could be very good. Yeah, damn. Blaze and Apple, Fireball. Jeff, I don't know you but I'm a fan of the Michael Out and About segment. I think it's a hit. Meaning. Let's play it. I like it. Let's play that song one more time. Let's take us out with the theme. He's up and head for . It's like a barber shop quartet, and you know my boy played that. I played that myself. That's part of the look. I had fun doing the piece, but that was really just me trying to work on my skills of playing piano and recording. It's impressive you played that Dr. Dre song a couple weeks ago down to it . Hey, I made a joke just now about like, oh, we didn't license out and about and oh we're going to get in trouble or whatever that was merely a joke, but I'll tell you what's real slob heads . We the slobboys have a band T shirt, not BAND, but a B and Right , right, right D. The Goo Crew shirt that we has been flying off the shelves, making us basically rich has been taken down. Who now, Jeff, who do you think which studio do you think came after us? Oh yeah. Was it the despicable meat people, the galaxy? I got to imagine it was illumination studios. One of those minions came across are designed that are we gonna see are we gonna see minions versus monsters a blowout this summer? We should. Fuck, yeah, you know I'm there . I think I liked the Minions movie we saw. I don't remember it at all. That's when we went to that was the first time we went to the Look Cinemas. Look cinema. We got the watery or I got the watery chicken . I like minions. I don't love it. And you got the hot ice cream. Yeah, you give me those minions. Oh, no group, no groove, yeah. Group. That's weird how the ninety minutes of my life is just blank. I remember that my ice cream sundae was hot . You remember there was a scene they got on a plane? There was a lot of hydrogen somewhere . Actually, I take it back. I do like Gru when he's part of the goo crew. When he When Gru is with Gro Goo and Groot, I like the group Goo Crew . A lot of people are saying that. Wait, so did we sell did we sell any , did we sell any shirts before? We sold a bunch and they're taken down. Folks, if you didn't get your goo shirt, you can't get them anymore. Those are collectors items now. Fun in the aftermarket. You could probably turn quite a profit. I'm seeing these on depop for thousands now. The google . Hey, Dude, we got some fucking live concerts coming up speaking of oh yeah you, wanna get the dates? Betch your ass . I hate you with the dates of the Sloppy Boy's summer tour and it's gonna be fun . Oh , yeah, Timmy, spank him with those dates. Whoosh. Yeah, come on to him and spank him . I really don't want to say that because he feels like I'm part of the now I don't want to say him . What? I'm gonna be doing that on stage all too long are . So the listeners are bending over and the dates are hearing them . Yeah , but that is us going We're doing the prince little prince squeal.

Hey, I bet we played that song Bowls at that Chicago Show . Hey, you know what? We talked about and maybe we'll take this off the pod. If we don't want to yeah, I'm going to put that on Kelchi We talked about this. We could take this out of the pot if we want, but we had mentioned at each show being like, Hey, slop, some slop head fan, getting the word out there. If you are a good photographer , yeah, you can get in the show for free if you bring your good camera and take pictures and give us the pictures at the end. Wouldn't that be a good we should how should we do that? Can we do that? Hit us up because I love when we have good pictures of the shows and we need them folks. We need them for our instance. I love this except for the free part. What about hey photographers, bring your camera snap away? We're giving you permission . Yeah, that's good. I like mind that. I don't mind that. Oh, yes, bring your , but it has to be a good camera. How about we make this the camera tour ? It's the camera tour. Is there the residence ? It's excited to go to a tour that's about what the other audience member is gonna do. It's about. They're excited to go see a tour where we're more interested in getting video for our Instagram . These guys are getting cont ent dilore d . All right, all right. So maybe that's not a great idea, but folks, take those pictures out there. We need to. Yeah, we like that. We like good pictures. I love it. I always try to mug for the camera. I'm fucking up songs mugging for the camera folks. And then when you don't post them, you fucked up a song basically. You've been mugging when you should have been mugging . Well, is that it for Booz News? Wrap it up Well, with that out of the way, we turn our attention to the drink of the day, the main event everybody tunes in for. Hopefully they don't skip the beginning of the pod like , you know, on WTF with Mark Marin to get to the drink of the day. Day and rest in peace . Yeah , RIP. Geez, Jeff, I mean that's a dig on the WTF, that even had to say the full name of the pod cast. WTF, you know who it's with. You know who it is. All right, folks, the drink of the day is the Fitzgerald . You've had like intent. Never . I've not had Quite frankly, I hadn't even heard until this past week. No, well, it's funny because here on the pod, we are sort of a momentous occasion at the LLC. We're covering our first book on the blowout patreon dot com slash the sloppy boys. And what book do you start with? You start with the book. You start with the with the Great Gatsby, the great American novel. The Great American Podcast takes on the great American novel , and it's all happening behind the blowout. Behind the paywall at the blowout brought you by Patreon . This is all still part of the tagline and you were surprised by Well we thought, well, what better drink? It would be nice to have a nice a nice old timy East Egg West egg type drink for this week . And we found not only a drink called the Fitzgerald, but a drink called the Fitzgerald invented by friend of the pod Dale DeGroff. Yeah. Shane bartender . A titan in the community. Jeff, are you talking about a legendary bartender that we met up with in Rhode Island a couple summers ago and had a little meeting of the minds cocktails in a battle of wits with a battle of wits ? Yes. A battle of wits with Timmy got us drunk. Okay? Yep . He did. I couldn't believe it. Here we are, seasoned young drinkers , professionals . This guy this guy did it all and then some and he did it wearing what looked like five layers of clothes. Do you remember this? He had a yeah he looked well put together the whole time too. He was cool, calm, collected and he drank us under the table, but he was kind of still chilled. Yes, this look of the five layers thing. He was one of those well dressed guys that looks like you can only picture his stuff being taken out of like an oak boudoir . It's all like it takes a minute and he's got the cufflinks that match up just so ooh , pocket square. Look at boudoir. Boudoir, that's where I post for my photos. All right. We're not can we please move on Jeff? Take it away. We keep it behind the paywalt in Jesus Christ. Yeah, we're not here only fans. Fitzgerald originally published in his two thousand book in Dale's two thousand book, The Craft of the Cocktail. Sorry, Jeff, I've read it to cut you off. Folks, chime in if I don't think we're ever gonna do this, but how much would you pay to see a sloppy boy's Olympian page? And I mean, it's nasty. It's inside and out if you get me. Isn't it funny that there are some Olymp's pages where it's just like, well, I post my art there p,ost I post my recipes in my writing. Like it's not just nudes . Yeah, yeah. Right. Because I mean, I think it started as more like it was like Patreon. It was like Patreon kinds of stuff. Hey, maybe on our Patreon quips, we could start posting our nudes and all be part of that family. Folks, head on over to the patreon dot com slash the stopping boys for the Quips. That's for the quips. I thought that was the store date Equips too . Well, Fitzgerald originally was published in Dale DeGraff's two thousand two book The Craft of the Cocktail, which I believe we have a copy of, do we not a complimentary coffee for meeting the man? He gave I already owned the book but then he gifted us the new edition when we were hanging out with him . Fitzgerald he has a nice tight little blurb here tight, tight tight. I'm just gonna read it verbatim, it's nice and short. He says I came up with this one on the fly one busy night at the Rainbow Room Promenade Bar when a customer who was bored with his regular summer libration, Gin and Tonic, asked me for a new gin drink for summer . The drink has appeared on craft bar menus around the world thanks to the internet. We all have a love, hate relationship with the internet. List this one under love . Oh Dale, we love you. That's great. I can't wait to sip . Jeffrey, you mentioned the other day you're like, Hey, we should reach out to Dale, see if he has anything to say about us doing if he wants to make a comment about the drink. I emailed him . No response. Ooh , so file that one under, you know, we ever love hate relationship with the internet. File that one under hate. Five. All the way, all the way on to hate. I don't know. An unanswered email that I hate. Dale I love. That's my boy right there. Oh yeah. What he is up to Kay here. You know, a mutual friend from Rhode Island has since reached out and let me know that Dale may have had some knee surgery recently. So Dale, take a load off, take your time , get well soon. We love you, pal, and to everyone else, check out DeGrof Spirits. He's got a delicious amaro , a delicious bitter app ratif y. Check him out now DeGroffspirits. com. You don't love it.

Shake all the ingredients with ice and strain into a rocks glass Strain Garnish with the aforementioned lemon piece . Oh, so the very same one that was mentioned, not just if a new lemon piece came along in the meantime while you were making this . Shit, man, this is I'm really excited because it's a simple drink. We're talking about it's a gin sour with bitters . And this fits in with remember I had a whole tirade one time. I was really spoutin' off about if you're getting into being a cocktail guy who hosts people at your house. Yeah. It's all about the gin sau. Dress it up, dress it down, night of home, night of the town. It's a little dress of cocktails, yeah. It can be the east side, it could be the south side, it could be the Bramble, it could be the French seventy five and now. Dress it up, dress it down night at the home night in the That's right . Ellen Bait . We're gonna go shake these up and strain onto fresh ice. I love that. Shake it on ice, pour onto fresh ice. What type gl ofass you use? I miss that. I use it. Rock Rocks, okay, good. Rocks glass. Short and stout. Folks, we're gonna go shake these up. And when we come back, first sips are those fits, first sips of the Fitzgerald Now we're back. Fitzgerald's in hand . Wow. Oh, I like the little I got a pink from my yeah . I must have my dashes must have been bigger than your guys 'cause it made my bitters and made my drink pink. My dashes . Beer ripe . My dad like it's not his whole bottle of dashes. He's got two dashes sitting out . I got dashes in there, but yeah, maybe I just went a little lighter. I got my heavy dasher. I should have told you that. When I was taking a picture of my drink for to post on Instagram and I tried to do the Leo Gatsby note and I was I couldn't really get it right and I splashed and I spilled and I fucked it all up. You're gonna want those sips. You're gonna wish you had those sifts. Yep ,, ye Iah'm going to be l themick off the bathroom floor later . Okay, Mike, you got your dashes Got my dashes . Okay, from dashes to sips . Here we go. Bottoms up . Oh , oh wow . That is very welcoming. Yep. Wow. Okay, this is a nice, easy drink . Dale, you brilliant bastard really . Dale, where have you been hiding this one, man? Come on Jeff, your where tiny dashes coming through? Damn, Dale, where'd you find this? Where was that, Tim? With your small dashes is the taste coming through? Oh yes . But see, I don't Angostur is there to just bless the drink, you know? Like I never really want to taste Angostura unless it's a Trinidad sour, of course. Jeff, are you saying that bitters are like the salt and pepper of cocktails? I am, Tim. I am indeed. The celebrity bartender, Jack Schram told us that. , Jack Shram . Oh, Jack Shrim. Shraim. Speaking of Shrammer, you know, he taught us the two, one, one method of sour . And then he said everyone , you know, the one in the one can be dialed up or like some people like a little more sweet, little, little more sour back and forth. Dale chose to dial down the lemon here, but keep the sour mix at an ounce. So this is this is a very sweet lemonade affair, not really sour sour. You know what I liked about this drink measuring it in my little measuring cup I have there's a line for an ounce and a half, an ounce and three quarters. So it's just going down the down the ladder . Down, dirt dir t. That's one of these down the ladder drinks. Yeah, we should that should be it because we like the we like the equal parts drinks, but this is a good one too. You don't hear as much about the down the ladder drinks. Down the ladder down the hatch . Damn, this is good. I will admit I made some of these last night when I watched the Great Gatsby Baz Lerman edition. Oh Lerma Cut. And I'll say to I'll say now what I said then this tastes like a bramble . You said that then? I said, this is a bramble minus you stood up on your coffee table . This is a bramble minus the shamboard Okay, yeah. I too watched that film after reading the book. Well, what and what did you say? I said, well, I wasn't drinking this drink while I watched it. Oh, wait , were you drinking this drink? Timmy, you must have said something. Wait, wait, hold on, did I hear your story wrong? Did you drink the drink of the day while you were watching it? Yeah, I cheated. I did early sit yesterday. I told you Mikey, do you know this ? I'm just hearing about it now and I'm beside myself. This is Jeff, what the hell are you doing over there? Does it mean anything that I came clean ? Yeah, I mean, it's quite a bit actually. Yeah, but you came clean in a way that confused me and it floated right by me 'cause it was more about the , you know, your name Jake and Baz Lurman, you're talking about you doing a funny voice. Next thing I know. You're wowing us with B az Lerman. All this razzle dazzle is a bait and switch . Not unlike one of Gatsby's parties themselves . Of course we're going to be talking that on the blowout folks. Jump out over the blowout this week. Oh yeah, I wanted to save folks go to patreon dot com slash sloppy boys here us talk about the great Gatsby. So we're saving our Gatsby talk for the behind the payball , but I was reminded I was reminded of a funny thing I was telling Jeff about drunkenly the other night at a party I love you man. Oh man. Oh my he was really chewing my ear man I love you, baby. Yeah, that's what I want to tell you. Mike, I want to get you up speed. I love Jeff . Man, Mike, it looked it looked like that meme where a guy's telling his girlfriend something at a sports sporting game . We were at like a party we were at a fundraiser for Silver Lake Shorts and I was talking and it was funny because one of the guys that runs the thing heard me I felt like an asshole just being a guy at a party and being like, oh Hemingway writes this is rather spare prose, does he not? You know what? I think I think parties need to be a little more like that to be honest with you, Tim. Did you see who got voted off of Love Island? Oh my god, almost ship myself I love the algo on my social media apps . I hope there's more AI slop tomorrow. I love the Algo just grabbing me and throwing me around hither and thither. I like being tossed by the algo . No, but the funny thing that I was drunkenly rambling about was in the book Amovable Feast by Hemingway , which is a true story that uses real names and real name checks that came out long after F Scott Fitzgerald was dead and they were supposed ly like great friends and everything. Hemingway tells a story about Scott Fitzgerald being like, Hey, can I talk to you? Can we get coffee? And then they get coffee and what do you want to talked to about is that he was afraid that he has his dick was too small and that he Zelda told him that he could never please a woman and then Hemingway took Fitzgeral d to the Louvre to show him statues so that he can compare dicks . Could you imagine writing that about your friend ten years after he died? Like I'm gonna write that about you guys? Yeah, but it's got to expect it. We talk about that in the podcast . Your book's gonna suck if it's just been like , so Tim and Mike they had average penises . That's so funny to think. Oh, by the way, I just finished my Hemingway book, Sun Also Rises . Oh shit. Oh different style than F Scott's Gatsby. We can talk about that. We talk about that on the pod. What would you say that his pros are fair? If I was at that party with you, Tim, I would have heard you across the room be lined, Tom , I agree with this guy . Now, do you agree with the fact that the protagonist is neutered in a way ? Yes , once Jeff said that, I said, I don't know there's something really fight. The book is about some friends going to Pamplona for some bullfighting, but there's much more to it. Obviously, but there's some moments in it when like the guys are I don't know if they say the age, but I think they're like thirty I'm guessing their thirties and it's like it kind of reminded me of when the three of us are out on tour because there's a moment when like Hemingway say,ing he's, trying to get his friend Bill out of bed and Bill's like, You're gonna have to get me out of bed and like rips the sheets up to his chin and I'm like, That's what I do It's like jazz. Like get me out of it. It's like guys goofing off in a hotel room. Listeners, you know , your beloved base player is quite bed centric in the mornings . In the mornings , all night too. All night long. Well, yes, yes, night's to be expected, but obviously this guy Oh no . This guy will like get up, take a shower, also like not even necessarily a morning shower, but if he takes a shower, he might quote unquote dry off in bed. Meaning like, I guess use the sheets to dry them selves. What the hell are you talking about? I don't get him back into bed wet. Wet . I think he do. You think I do. Have you ever seen you're crazy? You're just trying to get a rise out of me and get your clout up here on the pod. Clout chaser . No, I don't think the audience needs to know how I spend my time in my private hotel room. Thank you very much what I'm doing in towel or otherwise . I haven't seen the water trick, but I notice maybe I think both of you , the rhythm we've hit on tour is if let's say we're staying at a hotel that has a free breakfast down in the lobby. Oh yeah . You guys get some half moon, some Hempton in half moons? We're always praying at Hampton, we're praying for those omelets. We've had those ones and they were so good and then poof they're going back all . I think we had them twice and then that's why we expected it from that point forward. Yeah. And to not get a half moon is a tough one. You really want that. When you said the scoopy wet eggs when you wanted egg yolks , the watery egg lobe But you guys are better about like waking if the food ends at ten or whatever, you guys are better about like waking up and getting down there. I'll sometimes sleep through it, but then sometimes I'll get up at nine like hundred fifty nine and make it down there and then I'm eating breakfast. I'm like passing you on the elevator as you guys are going down and then I go down to eat breakfast. When I come back , I'm thinking, well these guys will have started their day. They've been up an hour longer than me. No , they've got their bellies full and they're caffeinated from coffee and they still disrobed and got back into bed . Yeah . Yeah. Yeah, okay. I guess I'm guilty as well of the false start. There's nothing to be guilty of. It's just, it's just greeting the day in a different way. I mean, it's hard to need to do if I've had my coffee Don't talk to me before, I've had my coffee but, I wouldn't I wouldn't get back under the sheets. I'd lay down on a bed if I'm watching TV or looking at my phone, but to disrobe and get back under the sheets after you've had eggs and a banana and coffee, that's tricky. That's tr icky, that's tricky for you. It's challenging to witness. If I get back into the bed, it depends on when our like when we're leaving or not. Like if we be out of here. Sometimes we push it till twelve the checkout because we don't we can't get to the next place yet without I'm used to hearing a phone call happen at some point from Tim . Hey, I'm in room whatever. Can we get a late checkout? And they go nah , and then they're like, we could do twelve. We could we could do twelve. Twelve's the latest we can do. Sorry, I know just twelve. And I'm like, the very time I wanted, you can't do six PM You don't have any of those two or three PM Yeah It's only ever twelve . It's only ever twelve and they can always do it and they're always like the answer is no what's six city was it where like we got a little rap on the door I think this is our last this was Knoxville baby. Atlanta? Yes it was Atlanta it was. And we're like we're in here and this was this was maybe ten or something . it was L aike normal check in and we're like we're like no, we're in here. No thanks whatever . And then what was like we got the late checkout and then a guy knocked asked like checkout and we're like, we're we're late. We're doing late checkouts. And he kept kept knocking and Tim was responding to him. And you were heading to the bathroom or something, and he was like, When's your checkout? And he went, nude . Okay. Well, did his elves there? He couldn't hear me. So I was like , he was like, What? And I was like, no and then but he looked thankfully he laughed because you did you did like a Chuck Jones like a Looney Tunes . It was really funny to hear him laugh . I wonder if he was just like fucking with you like he heard you the first time but just continue to fuck with you until you 'cause also like we got the late checkout because we were trying to relax. We didn't want to be a screaming noon. We weren't we weren't taking any callers, you know ? Exactly . Yeah, right . Ooh, can I bring up I was meant to bring this up in chit chat. This is a complete different topic, but Jeff and I just recently had were chit chatting with a high up in the animation world. I'll leave his name just for me and Jeff to know, but let's just say he's Disney's ghost. Well, baby. Anyway, he was telling us, remember we've talked about in the pod before the Bartlett General , there's a YouTube video. It's an animated thing. It's very odd. Jeff , it rubs Jeff the wrong way in the sense it's very certain shots are just kind of gross looking. It's profane, right? It's profane It's obscene in a way. God, what's the word? God, there's a word for it. I gotta look it up. I gotta look it up. So anyway, this guy was saying that he knows back in like the early two thousands, there were these little collectives of like animators and art people and stuff just goofing off and making stuff and just trying to make some art and see what sticks. And he knew the guys who made Bart the General. And there are these Australian dudes and I think they still live in Australia. Well, we were talking about the podcast for one point and sorry, we were talking about Bart the General on this podcast and the guy who made that, the guys who made that are fans of this podcast and heard us talk about it. So hello, I think the guy's name is Lawrence. Hello, Lawrence. We love you, Bartha General, keep making stuff like that. To be clear, I like Bart I like Bart the General, but the word I'm looking for is depraved. It comes off depraved very depraved it's supposed to be like that's the humor of it so naturally. If you haven't seen it folks look at Bart in general. It's an experience. Thanks, Laurens. Hi Lauren's. Hi Laurens, but that's so funny that's an exp edience. I love that stuff. Like I met the GI Joe PSA guys, one Fenzler 's name is Fencler films those guys who was like, man, this was just weird little stuff that I didn't know anyone , you don't even think of who made it or where it came from. Excuse me, it came from. Yeah, you don't think of internet stuff as getting made, you know? You're just like , I love this video on my phone. Especially like, this is before view counts. Like, you know, the GI Joe PSAs and Home Star Runners probably were in like a hundred million views. Like they crashed websites and stuff. Right. They were just automatic site without like the players were within the pages you wouldn't see. And it's like you could download them if you want , maybe not Homestar, but the rest. Dan, that was cool. Homestar. We had talked about doing an eB ombs world blow out of it. That would be fun. That'd be cool. Check out some of those old things. Weird weird that there's cultural touch points with internet stuff. Not weird, but normal . Yeah . Yeah . Quite normal . I mean, it is a fact and I didn't mean weird, I meant quite normal . I mean I was really reaching there. Hey, is there a weird man? They're like, we type emails man . I think we're twenty years into YouTube now. So I think that's funny to me of like anything that was a funny YouTube video is no longer of like that's been around for long enough that there could be like a classic YouTube video that's classic. And I was thinking about it when we on the blowout patreon dot com slash sloppy boys, we had a prequel month where we talked about Star Wars movies and I watched what's that channel? Red Letter Media ? Red Tube, I think . That's what I like. Easy buddy. Whoa . Wow . There's a guy who had made like a fe ature length YouTube documentary about why Star Wars episode one is bad and we had all seen it and then I went and I re watched it and it was really good but it was it was from eleven years ago and it had ten million views and I was like, this is as legitimate a film as Star Wars episode one is. You know , ten million people have seen it and it's good and it like stands the test of time. Like that's a work of film . And that's like a piece of film criticism. Like that is right, right, right. That's right up there with shallot shallot T. Chow just passed away, I think. I read that. Ah , shout out to his family. Wait, wait, what's that remind me of? David Geta or something? Oh my god, yeah. Oh, David Getta is George F loyd showed up to his show. The DJ, that DJ who did the , he's like DJing and spinning and then we'll just like show up to spin is like the least emotional thing you've ever seen . But no, yeah , I'm I love YouTube with all my heart and I'm so there's stuff on there that like we put content on there and other people put content that features themselves or you're trying to monetize whatever. But to the people out there that are just putting like an old kids in the hall sketch on that I happen to want to watch, like , I'm so grateful that somebody ripped a DVD and put these are the daves I know on YouTube and I'm like so many people are doing that and like nobody I know does that but millions of people are doing that . And hey, let's give a special shout out to the people who are verticalizing and captioning and uploading old birthday boys sketches through in HD to the Birthday Boys Instagram handle at the Birthday Boys . We salute you. Jeff, I'm getting so many, I'm getting so many people coming up to me like, Oh my God, I saw this video. I hadn't seen it forever. I was like, Jeff is putting 'em out. You gotta talk to Jeff. Leave me alone. It's crazy at that animation party, people were like, What's happening with birthday boys? It's like back . And it was just like, it's just that I take a couple hours every once in a while and like, woo , try we'll try and verticalize a video. But yes, doesn't it have the effect of we're back're so. We back. Next time people are like, Hey, birthday boys are back, be like, I know it's just like getting big all of a sudden. Yeah, yeah, actually that's rather than explaining away with logic I should just be like, I know something magical happen'sing . Something's magical indeed. No, it's just us. Don't look at us. It's just us helping ourselves again . We should be like, no, o yehah, Wotharersner B liker started cutting 'em up and like putting 'em out. I don't know . We gotta like sue them or something, right? You know, a certain novel called The Great Gatsby was not a hit when it came out, but like, you know, twenty years later really blew up and then became essential . So maybe that's what we're seeing happen on IFC in twenty fourteen Gatsby becomes a show, but then later it catches hold with a new generation. Your first generation was too fucking stupid to understand . Well, dude, you know what it really does make me happy that people will comment snarky comments generally to start. We'll say something like Tim and Eric did it or SNL did it or something and they are thinking of a sketch that came out after ours. They're looking at our sixteen year old video and thinking that it's new . Right, right. Like there's no greater compliment than somebody thinking our old work is put up new for a new sketch group or something like timeless. It feels makes it feel like that's a for so long so many people were trying to get us to be relevant, like, oh, you should do something about rideshares because rideshares are new now. And it's like, well, where are all the rideshare videos in twenty twenty six? You fucking moron . Jeff, you gotta calm down, Jeff , I totally agree though. I think that we made that choice and we knew we were making it and that like, yeah, you don't see a lot of ride, chair sketches sticking around. But I do think other than those handful of little time cops who were patrolling the videos or saying that we're over by the time cops . What I love is like I think most people don't care. Like I agree that when a birthday boys video gets like takes off and gets a lot of views, I think lots of people are thinking it's new. I think some people know it's old, but I think it's cool that at the end of the day it doesn't matter because the way that people approach content now is just like well,, I looked at my phone and I laughed like I don't care that it's I'm not interested in what IFC is or what year this was. Like I'm happy that I watched a twenty second thing and it made me laugh. Damn . Well, damn. Should we do second rounds? Now we reevaluate our second round, yeah. I have an idea Laid on . So this is a gin sauer, right? Yeah ,. ye Andah I've got a nice cold bottle of Badger Bev's Club Soda. And I was thinking if I did round two a high ball glass, it would be it would essentially be a Tom Collins, but if it's got it's got these bitters in it, you know what my name is for it? What ? What? Fizzy Fitz . Ooh , fits fizz. Fitzfizz? Fitzfizz, that's good. Fitzfizz. Fitzfizz. Fizz, Fizz Fitzgerald. So he's pivoting away from a gin and tonic and you're kind of pivoting right back in minus the quinite . Oh right, that the guy was a GNT drinker. Maybe I have some powdered quinite in my kitchen I can use hmm yeah some of that some of that essential mineral we all need quinide . I'm not gonna do another one. I'm gonna just do my cooled fireball app leshot for my next round. Fireball . I'm gonna make another one and maybe I'll get freaky in there. I'll see what I find. Fun . Folks, we'll be right back with round two after this Now we're back with round two Fitzgeralds. I did the I did more Jason. Just to beat the bitter allegations here. I want to make sure I get it . That looks good . I hate it . Oh, you didn't have bitters in yours at all, lasting? I did small dash. I did big, big plops now. I think the bitters important, right? Because I think it's really good. It's a good balancer, but I'm tasting it. I'm like, I'm tasting bitters. I put the rest of that fireball nip in this in my it didn't get super cold, so I'm just swirling around in my , what was left of my Fitzgerald in that big cube . So now we're going to learn about half of Fitzgerald. I finished the Fitzgerald. I don't know how I finished that was done. No, a lot of listeners might be wondering what half of Fitzgerald and a glaze and apple re,d ball. Red Fireball tastes like fireball. Okay , that was interesting. It was cold enough for me to judge. I don't think that's for me, the fireball, blaze and apple . As a novelty shot though, you think it's not going to the way that people do fireball shots for fun. You don't think that's going to put up numbers. I don't think so just because the apple, the sour apple taste is not a favorite of mine so that's why partially why I don't like it, but I don't think it's it's like the fireball has like some heat to it and it's kind of fun that apple just tones down the heat and gets in the way. You want that sweet heat, it be . I topped it off. I put I went high ball glass, topped it off with Badger Bem's Club Soda, the Fitzfizz. It's delicious. Look at this, look at how beautiful . It's pink. Yeah. Is that because of the light coming through the back? Yeah , you're holding it in front of a neon pink light. It's that it's that to me too. It's kind of scene like there you go. That's cool. So and the fits is delicious, but then also here's a kind of thing I did . This is interesting . Remember , I was talking earlier about in the book Amovable Feast when Fitzgerald had that penile issue . Yeah . And that another thing is kind of embarrassing for Scott Fitzgerald, that Hemingway immortalized them that way? Francis Scott Keef, you joke, but Francis Scott Key was his great grandfather. What the fuck? That's why they named them F. Scott. Jesus Christ My brother No, so during the break, I was like, I wonder if I could find an audiobook clip on Audible of this chapter from a movie. So he's Neppo he's Nepo in a way. Whoa. All his books are about how he doesn't have any money . Here's the thing. Interesting. He's he grew up like lower middle class. He didn't have a lot of money, but he was he was like in the rich part of St. Paul and then he went to Princeton. So he was surrounded by richer people. Okay . But I think naming him after Francis Scott Keith, it speaks to the times that it's like they weren't rich, like good pedigree, but they kind of wanted to be. So they named their son after the one kind of famous guy they had in their family, yeah? Whoa, we're getting a little too close to blowout talk here folks, sorry . All behind the paywall. Just so I know it in the future. Can I hear the sound again? Okay, okay, when that when you hear that sound No, but so I went on to Audible and I ripped the chapter from Ernest Hemingway's Immovable Feast where El Scott Fitzgerald came to him with a problem and I thought we could play here on the pod. Oh, you were able to rip it? I ripped it with I used some , you know, software. Yeah, I don't want to know but we'll all get in trouble I think if we don't pod . Well, let's give it a listen. Here we go. One day while I was in Paris, having a feast most moveable indeed, I was approached by F Scott Fitzgerald . He told me he had a teeny little ween ie and he was afraid it was too tiny a penny. Pricky pricky dicky, wee Willy We ek. I looked up from my feast, movable as it was, and I told him he oughtn't be concerned, for a man's manod lies not in his trousers, but in the battlefields of Yor , and in the jungles of Yor , and in the wooded woods of your forest . Wow wow wa he cried Mego peepy in me dipey he sobbed Now me needy wipy wet wimpy dinky As I dried his cock, I found it to be a little p iddle pinky. Very, very winky. Toky joky little smoky pack peck pecky, a flicky flicky specky . The end flicky flucky specky . Oh yeah, flicky flicky specky . Wow , you don't know that. That's pretty humiliating stuff. I can't believe he wrote that about his friend . Yeah . And you know, you hear women say sizes and everything, it's the motion and the ocean stuff, but if you have a flicky flicky, specky yeah , yeah. I think yeah I just yeah that's that's interesting it's funny that he just from reading I don't know when immovable or the was it movable feast or immovable movable Movable Movable I don't know when that came out, but it must have been after Sunhouse Aris because Sunhouse Rise is a very different style of it's very just the facts, you know? He doesn't really play with the language the way that he does here at Movable Fees like there's not this like sing song rhyming sort of almost like well remember the first few of those, he's quoting F. Scott directly. So that's a Scott thing. Yeah, that's yeah, but then he gets a little loose with it. You must admit. I'll admit that I'll admit that. I'm just saying things like most indeed come. I don't know. There's other writers or another writer. Two writers in particular I know who I feel like I hear that a lot from Is it the guys that wrote the Bible? No, it's you and Neil Campbell, the fact . And I think a lot of it's used to rhyme Well, let's turn our attention to the adjudication of the drink, shall we? Yes. Enough nonsense Yes . Or again, all day long. This is a fun simple drink and it really feels like, you know, sometimes we'll be drinking these old timing drinks and it's like, hey, I get it. I didn't think it was gonna be what I thought it sounded like. This one really feels like even though it was made Greg Catsby, it feels like what they would be drinking in that like the descriptions of the drinks in the book they're like, yeah, this feels like what they'd be having around the old pool . Yes . I think it's an order again and again. This is a classic and like people aren't talking about it for drink of the summer, but I think it's because of their ignorance . I think you're right. But ignorance is bliss, though. In this one case, no . That must be why I'm so fucking miserable. I'm gonna say order again and and I love it and the gin sour, which we haven't really just done a plain gin sour in the pod, but that's a stone cold classic and I'm loving every variation . I still implore you, young slop heads, make that the core of your repertoire because all the variations are great. And I agree. I thought this is Gatsby Week on the show . And I was like, oh, it'd be cool if we did something from the twenties . This is not from the twenties, but it's from Dale DeGrav's an icon. He invented this in like what the late eighties . And he was he said it was at the Rainbow Room. Rainbow Room is Rockefeller's Center. Rockefeller Cent er is right by all the shit. You're right by fucking all these the locations that are very important to Fitzgerald. So now here we are twenty twenty six. I would call this a classic cocktail and I think it's utterly divine. Yeah . He really did a good job of like calling it the Fitzgerald and keeping it like of the time . Way to go, Digrol. Fitzgerald himself drank Jin Ricky's a lot. I mean, all gin and martinis and stuff but Jin Ricky's was the thing. So that's probably why Dale thought of him. Ricky don't sip my dream . Absolutely. That's our show.
