Speaker 1: All right, it's mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2: I think I have to switch up what I'm drinking.
Speaker 2: I think I realized and I am a big bourbon
Speaker 2: no alcohol.
Speaker 1: I am a big bourbon guy. Like I love bourbon.
Speaker 2: I only started liking any kind of brown alcohol when
Speaker 2: COVID happened and we were all like on lockdown and
Speaker 2: it became like a big deal like bourbons and stuff
Speaker 2: like that. But I'm now officially at this point where
Speaker 2: it wrecks me. It never did this to me, and
Speaker 2: I think it's because of the weight loss shots that
Speaker 2: I'm doing.
Speaker 1: How So, though it.
Speaker 3: Too drunk or it makes you sick the next.
Speaker 2: Day, I have one. No, I don't get hangovers. I
Speaker 2: just get way too drunk off of one drink. And
Speaker 2: it's to a point where I can't just do one drink,
Speaker 2: like I got to have a couple of drinks because
Speaker 2: I drink, you know, to be social, and I'm social
Speaker 2: for periods of time, so it's usually a long period
Speaker 2: of time. So I've gotten to a point now where
Speaker 2: I'm contemplating, like do I change my drink? And I
Speaker 2: was talking to the official drinkologist of my life, Brian Reef.
Speaker 2: You know our good friend Brian. Brian is Brian knows
Speaker 2: a lot about drinks. So Brian will go out sometimes
Speaker 2: and he's a huge bourbon guy too, like he's got
Speaker 2: an amazing bourbon collection. But he is like also good
Speaker 2: at going out to a place and he'll order, you know,
Speaker 2: some kind of a drink that I'm like, what is that?
Speaker 2: And it's tequila or something, or he drinks a lot
Speaker 2: of gin. So he had me drinking. Last week we
Speaker 2: golfed and he had me drinking because I told him
Speaker 2: this a Tom Collins, which to me was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, that's like my dad's drink.
Speaker 1: Do you ever have a Tom Collins? He loves Tom Collins.
Speaker 2: Tom Collins, let's look it up here right now, isn't funny?
Speaker 2: I know what you were king drinking?
Speaker 1: It is gin? So I did. It was with gin.
Speaker 1: The Tom Collins recipe, I.
Speaker 4: Like, didn't drink.
Speaker 3: I feel like it tastes like pine needle.
Speaker 2: Really, Tom Collins consists of gin, lemon juice, simple syrup,
Speaker 2: lemon seltzer or plain seltzer cocktail, cherries, a slice of
Speaker 2: lemon before so.
Speaker 4: It's like a French seventy five. That's my favorite, right
Speaker 4: now it's cherries.
Speaker 1: It's delicious, very refreshing.
Speaker 2: The other thing that I am really into, and I've
Speaker 2: been getting into this lately, is and I'm not a
Speaker 2: Seltzer kind of guy, so I want you to know this.
Speaker 2: I normally don't drink Seltzer's, but there is one particular
Speaker 2: Seltzer that I am obsessed with.
Speaker 4: What is it?
Speaker 1: It just tastes so good, it goes down so good.
Speaker 1: Surf sides your steps, I.
Speaker 4: Mean he tried, he liked it. Yeah, those are good.
Speaker 5: Wait, but they're not am I thinking of? I know
Speaker 5: what surf sides are. They're not carbonated, are they.
Speaker 1: They're uh, they're they're like bubbles.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I see see. I hate that it has to
Speaker 4: be super carbonated.
Speaker 1: Taste.
Speaker 2: What's your flavor? They got a few of them and
Speaker 2: they're all lemonadeish. How's the mango? I'm not a big
Speaker 2: mango guy. I don't like mango. I do like a
Speaker 2: pink lemonadeish one.
Speaker 4: Don't they have iced tea version.
Speaker 6: Their new flavors are blueberry, raspberry, BlackBerry, and mango.
Speaker 1: That's the new flavors.
Speaker 3: They have strawberry lemonade.
Speaker 2: That sounds good. Yeah, that's a good one. Do you
Speaker 2: know what I don't like? There's one that is really overrated.
Speaker 2: Can we do Can we do a little Seltzer update
Speaker 2: and ask people to tell us what Seltzer's they're drinking
Speaker 2: they are.
Speaker 3: I think I feel like people are getting away from
Speaker 3: them white Claws.
Speaker 1: Back in the day, we were really.
Speaker 4: Good because they were the only one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were good.
Speaker 2: The one that I cannot get and I don't understand,
Speaker 2: and they only have it at the golf courses that
Speaker 2: I go to. And I don't know why. It's high
Speaker 2: Noon's high Noon has no flavor to it at all.
Speaker 2: It's so untasty, like BA, I might as well just
Speaker 2: get myself a Lacroix with a little bit of vocation.
Speaker 1: I think that's why people like Lacroix.
Speaker 3: Really, Yeah, people love Lacroix.
Speaker 2: But I don't like the idea of not having some
Speaker 2: taste to it. But I think that makes you drink
Speaker 2: them quicker. Really, I do the only sound like I feel.
Speaker 6: Like the last time I had some high notons, I
Speaker 6: was with a doctor Reynolds, and I feel like, to
Speaker 6: your point, they really didn't have a taste, but it
Speaker 6: made me smash them even quicker.
Speaker 1: I mean like I went through a couple of cans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you well, you drink them faster because you're
Speaker 2: hoping that the watermelon that the can says it has
Speaker 2: will come in a flavor. The other one that I
Speaker 2: kind of have have liked is Mick Ultra does one
Speaker 2: if you haven't seen it, Mick Ultra has a version
Speaker 2: of a Seltzer and it's actually pretty good.
Speaker 1: Plus you look not like.
Speaker 2: A Seltzer drinker because people think you're drinking a mic Ultra,
Speaker 2: you know, because it's got the logo and everything on there.
Speaker 3: H Ranch Waters, I love Ranch Waters.
Speaker 1: Do you you're a tequila drinker? Huh?
Speaker 5: Not really, but I like it in in that what's like,
Speaker 5: I wouldn't ever just have a tequila on the rocks.
Speaker 3: Never the one that has like a super high alcohol percentage.
Speaker 3: It's Cutwaters.
Speaker 1: Cut Water. Now were talking the.
Speaker 5: Espresso and the white Russian Cutwaters are so good.
Speaker 3: People get.
Speaker 1: Hold on Brandon's with us. Brandon are you there? Yes, sir?
