[Patreon Preview] Ep 23.5: Bloody Marys: The Last Round 11:03

we might be drunk we might be drunk as long as we are hanging out you know we might be drunk raise a glass let's talk shit pep heaps wrecks and a bit maybe drunk we might be drunk rock hey here we are patreon baby we're a day late and a buck short but we're making it happen

Sometimes we travel, we forget shit, we're tired, it's hard to sync up. Yeah, I don't want to give too much away, but I went out to the stand, to the set, and then it was Che's birthday, so then shots start rolling in, then Chappelle shows up, and now he's doing shots, so Thursday was a mess, hungover-wise. Damn. Oh.

Oh, I'm in Utah with our boy Anthony DeVito and we just forgot to eat at the club. It's one show Thursday and we forgot to eat. And, you know, judging by the food, not the biggest mistake. Yeah. Yeah. I see on the menu it says nachos, add chicken for $1. And I'm like, $1 chicken add-on? Don't know if I trust this chicken. So we end up going to some bar and I'm kind of like, what's up with, like, I thought you guys had good food. Someone told me you had good food. And they're like, well,

Well, we have good food downstairs. And I'm like, what? It turns out it's like a prohibition bar. Oh, it's one of those speakeasy fucks.

So we go in there and it was, the food was incredible, but it was like, you have to like, kind of be like coy. Wait, why, where do we go? This dark room. Of course it's too dark. It's dark to the point that, uh, I eat, there's like a lemon there for garnish. We ordered this food and I just ate the lemon cause it was dark. Wow. How drunk were you? It was just dark. Oh, okay. You're like, this is a shitty apple.

I think it's turned. Good Lord. But no, no, it was like served with pork belly. So I thought it was just like food. Oh, I thought you took it off the bar. No, no, no, no. It was like, it was part of the food. It was just on the side. But I was like, oh, this is a vegetable or something. And then, yeah, I mean, we were buzzed for sure. I was definitely...

We ordered, like, it was like their version of a Manhattan, but it was fucking good, dude. Sounds great. I didn't even know about the speakeasy. I'm a little hurt. I've been there 12 times. They never mentioned it. It's called Bodega. Ah, come on. I'm crushed. This is horrible. What is this, a Mormon thing? This is all news to me. It was definitely not a Mormon thing.

I guess not if it's called Bodega and they serve alcohol. That was a dumb statement. But yeah, I just feel left out. I had no idea. I've been there a hundred times. I'm always drinking. Do you think somebody would have showed it to me? It's a good time, man. We might be drunk fans coming out in packs. A lot of people tell me they saw you here a couple weeks ago. I got this High West whiskey a fan brought. That's good stuff. I've never heard of it, but I can tell it's good.

Yeah, I've had it before. It is very good. All right, all right. Nice. Boy, that's got to be a $40 item that somebody got you. It looks nice. Yeah. You have to check a bag. Yeah, you check that bag or get Keith to mail it because you don't want to, you know, can you, I guess you can't, yeah, you can't walk that through security. So you got to figure it out. No, it's probably for the best, I guess. But so how are the shows in Hartford?

I got to say, they're pretty good. We did it Thursday. It was a little light. And then both Fridays were great. The crowds are high. We got drunk fans coming out. It's just such a tough market. Like the guy, Fred, who runs the joint, he was like, I've seen some big names not be able to sell here. So you should feel pretty good. I was like, all right, I'll take it.

Yeah, it is. I feel like Hartford's on the come up, though, like a lot of Connecticut sucks and Hartford, I feel like is kind of like becoming kind of a cool city. And then the other thing is we do so much Connecticut. I'm in a backyard with Emilio. I'm at Bridgeport. I'm at some Fairfield bullshit. And then and then you come here. So you're like, I've kind of blew my wad on Connecticut a year ago.

I got a lot of shit for a tweet about Bridgeport. I got a lot of messages because I guess I got reshared by like a big meme account on Instagram. Yeah. And I was just making fun of Bridgeport and all these people like, fuck you, Bridgeport is a lot to offer. And I kind of want to be like, hey, this is how you know you're not a great city when you're like really offended by me shitting on your city. Yeah. You don't see that with Manhattan.

No, you don't. They're like, man, fucking Philadelphia sucks. They're like, okay, that's your opinion. They're not like, fuck you, asshole. Philadelphia is cheesesteaks. We have lots to offer. Yeah. We have a jail in our stadium, bitch. Yeah, no, that's true. That's how you know the city sucks. And that's my opener. I go, hey, I got through Bridgeport. I deserve a Purple Heart. It kills every time. They're like, yeah, this place is fucking wild. It is wild, man. Opioid addiction, baby.

That club is good, but the city is, you know. Yeah, it's sad. The city's like on a respirator, you know. It's on its last leg. Should we do some email? Yeah, hell yeah. We got folks chiming in. We got drinks. We got peeves. We got jokes. We got it all. What do you got there? I'll start with one from Sam Betzel.

Drink idea, summer cocktail. A drink idea that's great for warm summer days on a rooftop or in your apartment. Also great if you're trying to impress a lady. Muddle watermelon. Already like where you're going, dude. Okay. Muddle watermelon and fresh mint leaves in a glass with a half-squeezed lemon. Top with chilled gin. Beefeater is my go-to. Add ice. Optional, add some club soda. This sounds great. Yeah.

It's a little high-end, though. I mean, this guy's really got a couple of produce going already. He's mulling. He's twisting. He's turning. I will say, though, watermelon with mint is pretty nice. It's like a nice combo. That is a nice combo. It's refreshing as hell. Watermelon's great for hangovers. Oh, it's all water. Yeah, it's a hydration thing. It's good stuff. I don't know why watermelon is not more popular. When I was a kid, you would just eat it like a snack.

Yeah, I think the pits really hurt watermelon because it's kind of like unappetizing. You've got to spit out while you're... It's like the sunflower seeds of fruit. Yes, yes, exactly. But they do have seedless now, thanks to the science. We've all heard the Seinfeld joke about it, you know? Who was the scientist on that project? Like, yeah, we got cancer, but that has got to stop. It's an old dairy bit. Classic.

You ever try to pick a wet one off the floor? It's almost impossible. All right. That was tag. What do you got? All right. All right. Well, thank you. Does that drink have a name? He said, don't have a name for it yet, but it's damn good. Love the pod fellas. Keep drinking. You can do the same thing with vodka as well. He said gin, but it's,

Watermelon and vodka is a nice combo Watermelon and gin Gin is great in the summer Yeah, gin's not bad Gin gets a bad rap But something about gin just doesn't sound great But a gin and tonic is great That drink sounds great So I gotta turn around on gin I'm a big gin martini guy for sure I go vodka I can go either way Alright, the gin just has a little more of that bite I don't know, it's got that paint thinner feel to me

Yeah, I like a little paint thinner. A little bit, a little kerosene. Like a bite. All right. Like a bite. By the way, what the hell is beef eater? Why is that a name? I know I sound like an 80s comic, but was that a term back in the day, I wonder? Beef eater? Was that meant like, you know, rich guy? I don't know. I bet there's something behind that. Is it supposed to sound manly? Like red meat, you eat beef. I don't know. Maybe. Harry, give it a gook.

Beef eater sounds, it is a cool order. Give me a beef eater. Yeah, it sounds tough. Beef eater. But yet, when you break it down, you're like, all right, eat beef. Who cares? True. But it sounds way cooler than give me a veggie snacker. You're just like, fuck that shit. Beef eater sounds tough. For our rye, I like fat cat because it sounds like a cool order. Yeah, fat cat. Get a fat cat on the rocks. Give me a fat cat. That's fun to say. Fat cat neat.

All right, all right. I got one from Derek Robid. Hey, fellas, huge fan of the pot. Apparently the name is The Guards in London. All right. I knew it was something significant. Yeah, there we go. Okay. Also, that's kind of weird, too. The Guards in London. Thank you, Harry. Imagine having a drink called The Secret Service. Oh, that actually kind of sounds cool. I'll have a Secret Service.

It is pretty good. Yeah. That's not bad. All right. Hey, fellas. Huge fan of the pod. Also, big, big fans of you and Sam. Anyway, I got to pee for you. I hate when the hostess at a restaurant asks you if you have a reservation when it is clearly not busy.

if i had a reservation i would have said that when i entered it's clearly a condescending question so why ask if you're going to seat me either way maybe i'm just a queef hope to see in boston soon gentlemen thank you derek i'm probably just doing it because they have to know they probably have reservations yeah that's true and that that that's hard for people to swallow as a guy who worked in a restaurant for 10 years

You go, reservation? The fucking place is empty. Why are you seating me over here? And it's like, you realize there's only two waitresses. You can only have so many sections open. Somebody's reserved that table for 30 minutes from now, and you're probably going to take an hour. So there's all kinds of moving parts that people don't know about. They just see the open table, and they go, what the fuck? He's just annoyed with like, it's like they're acting too cool for school, but.

Right. It's their job. But yeah, I get it. Yeah. Yeah. They got to ask. But I get it, too, from his point of view. But just because you see an open table doesn't mean there's not some method to the madness. True. But yeah, I'm with you. Understandable peeve. But yeah, with restaurant stuff, people do that shit all the time. Like with no one sitting here and you're like, it's reserved. There's a sign that says reserved on it. Exactly. And then this one I don't get.

When you and your lady are the only people in the restaurant and the food takes an hour to come out, you're like, there's nobody here. This should have come out in two seconds. Yeah, I don't get it. That one's weird. That's a pee for sure. Also, I hate being that dude. But, you know, sometimes you're like, ah, we're going to see a movie or something. Right. You have like an hour and you're like, oh, we're in a little bit of a rush. You know, if it's not doable, I understand. But then when you put that out there and they still take an hour and you're like, oh, cool.
