Speaker 1: Cheers, cheers, thank you for making this.
Speaker 2: Okay, you don't have to like it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't like it. Cosh. Hello, welcome
Speaker 1: to Toss Show. Eddie Daniel, Oh, thank goodness you're here.
Speaker 3: I'm here. Never leaving your side, buddy.
Speaker 1: Never to the grave. Hey, speaking of of death, my
Speaker 1: niece and nephew they're they're past this now. But there
Speaker 1: was a time where the twins were I'm going to say,
Speaker 1: five years old, and they had just learned about death. Somehow,
Speaker 1: my brother and his wife they talk more openly than
Speaker 1: I do with my kids. But anyway, they had learned
Speaker 1: about death, and they thought it was the funniest thing
Speaker 1: in the world, the funniest thing. They would just come
Speaker 1: up to my brother and I. They'd come up to
Speaker 1: Andrewine and they just go, haha, your grandparents are dead.
Speaker 1: And it was I'm telling you, it was so first
Speaker 1: of all, twins in general, terrify you. They thought it
Speaker 1: was the funniest thing in the world to come up
Speaker 1: to us, make your grandparents they're dead.
Speaker 3: Crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh it's so crazy. But man, did it make us laugh.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we laughed hysterically at it. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't mean. I'm sure he's like, Oh, it's just
Speaker 1: a phase. They don't really know what they're saying. I'm like,
Speaker 1: or they do, and you've got a bunch of sociopaths
Speaker 1: living under your roof.
Speaker 3: My kids never said it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know anybody that's ever said it like that.
Speaker 3: Ever heard this story before.
Speaker 1: It's so good, it's different. And then we kind of
Speaker 1: like started feeling bad because they're like aha, and we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I wish why did they have to die? They're old?
Speaker 1: Our grandparents shouldn't be all. Nobody has a grandparent alive here?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: I do you do?
Speaker 2: I do?
Speaker 1: John's gotten a live grandparent? Yes?
Speaker 4: Which one my grandma my dad's side ninety four?
Speaker 1: Last one your dad's side, mom ninety four. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not that old.
Speaker 4: I saw her last year.
Speaker 5: She said her goodbyes, and I was like, I think
Speaker 5: you're gonna live for like another nine years.
Speaker 1: She said her goodbyes a year ago to you, and
Speaker 1: she's still going. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Now she's in a nursing home. She just went to
Speaker 5: a prom and they had a play and she was
Speaker 5: the lead.
Speaker 1: M Yeah, all right, Well, here's my question to you,
Speaker 1: Eddie yeah, I got distracted by my crazy niece and nephew.
Speaker 1: Would you rather have your children or guacamole? Now, So
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is if you have your kids, then
Speaker 1: you can never have guacamole your entire life.
Speaker 3: And I've had it, so I know how good it is.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's right.
Speaker 3: Guacamole is good. I'm gonna have my kids.
Speaker 1: But you're gonna have your kids.
Speaker 3: You're gonna hold it over them that I can't have guacamole.
Speaker 1: Now you would you would have never had your kids,
Speaker 1: so you wouldn't have this attachment to them. You gotta
Speaker 1: separate yourself from who they are. Now. You gotta think
Speaker 1: pre children. I'm never gonna have guacamole again.
Speaker 3: I mean I'm thinking I don't know. You could. It
Speaker 3: depends on.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I bring this up to my wife,
Speaker 1: and I swear to you, she picks guacamole. What you
Speaker 1: have or if you did, she would rather have guacamole
Speaker 1: than her children. She won't say it out loud, but
Speaker 1: I can tell in the eye, in her eyes, she
Speaker 1: just loves guacamole. You know who doesn't like guacamole? My mother.
Speaker 1: She doesn't like guacamole. She gets mad at me about avocados. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know why people even like avocados. There's no taste.
Speaker 4: That's the sane.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say in defense
Speaker 1: of my my wonderful mother. Florida avocados are are not
Speaker 1: as good. They're four times the size, but they don't
Speaker 1: have the taste.
Speaker 4: They're not indigenous to Florida.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know where they're getting them from. I
Speaker 1: just think I just always remember seeing like really large
Speaker 1: avocados there, but they they didn't have any taste. Maybe
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe she's just wrong. Would you rather
Speaker 1: have Margarita's or guacamole one or the other. You can't
Speaker 1: have both for the rest of your life.
Speaker 3: Walk em o, fuck them margharite?
Speaker 1: All right? What about guacamole or two hundred million dollars
Speaker 1: cash wuacamole?
Speaker 3: I'm going cash.
Speaker 1: You want the cash. It's a real question. Makes guacam
Speaker 1: because if you have two hundred million dollars cash, you
Speaker 1: can buy guacamole guacamole factory. No, I didn't say that.
Speaker 1: No one said you couldn't buy guacamole.
Speaker 4: John, here's what he wants to I heard that.
Speaker 1: You know, this is turning into guys, this is now
Speaker 1: turning into a podcast where we are talking about absolute,
Speaker 1: meaningless shit that only we find remotely entertaining and no
Speaker 1: one else does. We don't. I don't drink, but today's
Speaker 1: guest she's gonna make me try enjoy Casha. Today's guest
Speaker 1: is someone I would never meet out bar hopping, simply
Speaker 1: because I don't go to bars. But if you have
Speaker 1: random bottles of liquor lying around your house collecting to
Speaker 1: us like a fifth of Fireball that Dylan brought over
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, that you have absolutely no idea what
Speaker 1: to do with, She's here to help. Please Welcome home bartender,
Speaker 1: mixologist author Hannah.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1: Let's get hammered.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm ready.
Speaker 1: Hannah. Do you believe in ghosts?
Speaker 2: I do not. Do you believe in ghosts? No?
Speaker 1: What about distilled spirits? Boom?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I'm a big believer in that kind of spirit.
Speaker 1: The whole We've been setting up this ghost question for
Speaker 1: a year and a half to finally get Hannah in
Speaker 1: the seat so I could do the distilled spirits joke. Man,
Speaker 1: that was a good payoff. All right. I'm not a drinker,
Speaker 1: but I'd love to know what all the fuss is about.
Speaker 1: Sell me on alcohol.
Speaker 2: Hm. Wow, I don't think I've ever had to do
Speaker 2: this before. Well, for making cocktails, it makes you you
Speaker 2: probably don't need this, but it makes you very popular.
Speaker 2: So learning to make cocktails. Everyone's always thrilled to have
Speaker 2: you come to their house, come to their party. It's
Speaker 2: like you light up a room the minute you arrived
Speaker 2: with the drinks and the skills.
Speaker 1: I don't want to show up to anyone's house so
Speaker 1: that I got it different.
Speaker 2: So that was an original interest for me once I
Speaker 2: realized that I could make something that actually tasted decent.
Speaker 2: The other thing that I really love, and I don't
Speaker 2: know if you're a history person, but it really can
Speaker 2: connect to you in a very visceral way to how
Speaker 2: people have experienced things in the past, which I love.
Speaker 2: I think that's really cool, especially things like Cognac. For instance,
Speaker 2: do you.
Speaker 1: Say Cognac did different than I say it?
Speaker 2: How do you say it?
Speaker 1: I just said Kognac Cognac. Okay, okay.
Speaker 2: People make fun of my voice always.
Speaker 1: I'm not making fun of it.
Speaker 2: It's okay.
Speaker 1: But I know that I grew up in Florida public education.
Speaker 1: I know that I enunciate things poorly, so sometimes when
Speaker 1: I hear things, I'm like, oh, I've been saying that wrong.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm from Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, which probably explains my
Speaker 2: interest in booze, and I had a Wisconsin accent, so
Speaker 2: I've spent years trying to get rid of it.
Speaker 1: If you were to say Wisconsin, I would have a
Speaker 1: certain preconceived notion of who you are. But when you
Speaker 1: say Madison, it completely erases it.
Speaker 2: So you know Wisconsin, of course, because that is so true,
Speaker 2: Madison is very different from the rest of the state.
Speaker 1: Why were you there?
Speaker 2: My father was a professor at the university, so that
Speaker 2: makes sense. Yeah. He's a psychopharmacologist and an addiction researcher,
Speaker 2: so he researches how to stop people from being addicted.
Speaker 2: And I do booze for a living.
Speaker 1: You're his experiment. Were you created?
Speaker 2: I don't know how. I guess this is all very
Speaker 2: advanced rebellion.
Speaker 1: Do you ever do a bar crawling lacrosse? No?
Speaker 2: I haven't.
Speaker 1: I think famously they have the most bars per square foot.
Speaker 2: That sounds that sounds like Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: Look that up. I think that's a la crosse fact
Speaker 1: that I just pulled from my younger years of touring.
Speaker 1: When someone asked what you do for a living? How
Speaker 1: do you answer?
Speaker 2: Probably how I'm going to now, which is awkwardly slowly
Speaker 2: with stutters. You know, I'm a booze content creator booze.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that kind of makes it seem cooler. When
Speaker 1: you throw boo You're like, look, I don't take it
Speaker 1: too seriously. How is your liver?
Speaker 2: That's a good question. So far, so good, So far.
Speaker 1: So good. You ever worry that, Oh no, I might
Speaker 1: be going too far with alcohol? You just have no issues.
Speaker 2: I think it's so important to keep asking yourself those questions, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's an addictive substance. So if you're not
Speaker 2: kind of thinking about that and looking into it, I mean,
Speaker 2: there are health consequences, behavioral consequences. So yeah, I'm constant
Speaker 2: thinking about it, and you know, making sure I'm not
Speaker 2: overdoing it.
Speaker 1: Do you drink every day?
Speaker 2: No, not every day, that would be a lot. Probably.
Speaker 1: I drink only to reassure the people that I'm with
Speaker 1: that I'm not an alcoholic because I just always feel
Speaker 1: like if I say I'm not going to drink, then
Speaker 1: that then I have to have more conversation.
Speaker 2: We have to be very very careful. Yeah, no, I
Speaker 2: get that. I'm curious. Were you ever interested in drinking?
Speaker 2: Not even in college or nothing.
Speaker 1: No, less in college than now.
Speaker 2: So when you went to parties, you were just like,
Speaker 2: I'm cool.
Speaker 1: Here's I'm not. I certainly I wasn't cool, but I
Speaker 1: was on the prowl. I was always like I was
Speaker 1: chasing skirt as they say that was I mean, I
Speaker 1: guess I was, but not successfully. It was just bad.
Speaker 1: And I also didn't go to a lot of parties.
Speaker 1: My roommates drank a lot.
Speaker 2: And that probably was like you know, maybe you saw
Speaker 2: that new We're like, I don't know if that's for me.
Speaker 1: I think I wasn't into the taste. I never to
Speaker 1: the point of like getting trashed, and you know, nobody
Speaker 1: was fixing me fun cocktails. They were all just drinking beer,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is gross.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: I feel like growing up, maybe watching movies or reading
Speaker 2: about history, I romanticized it so much that I was like,
Speaker 2: you're going to learn to like Martiniz I don't care
Speaker 2: if you don't like the taste of it. And it
Speaker 2: did take me about a year, but then I fell
Speaker 2: in love with them a year.
Speaker 1: I see, I've never committed anything for a year to
Speaker 1: like it.
Speaker 2: I mean, I wanted to be cool really badly.
Speaker 1: Uh, mission accomplished. You started your studies in Center College
Speaker 1: in Danville, Kentucky. Now is that a real place? Is
Speaker 1: my first question.
Speaker 2: It is a real place. I wanted to go someplace
Speaker 2: that was completely different from Madison, Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: Is it is it that?
Speaker 2: My gosh, it's so different because Madison's like a huge
Speaker 2: hippie town.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 2: And I'd never lived in the South or experience the
Speaker 2: South in any way, and it really was a very
Speaker 2: different experience.
Speaker 1: Do you hate the South?
Speaker 2: No, I don't hate the South. I thought it was
Speaker 2: beautiful there and insight, Oh my history some.
Speaker 1: Going on down there too. Did you study revisionist history?
Speaker 2: I did not do much studying when I was at Center.
Speaker 2: I was not a good student there.
Speaker 1: Then you went to law school for a minute or No.
Speaker 2: I went to law school for one semester at UCLA,
Speaker 2: and it was not for me. Have you ever dabbled
Speaker 2: in law school?
Speaker 1: Yes? Did you I'm an idiot. Okay, No, I have
Speaker 1: never dabbled in law school. I didn't. I bare I
Speaker 1: got through college fine, but like that was it.
Speaker 2: I told my parents, well, you know, going to Center college.
Speaker 2: I actually dropped out and I was telling my parents,
Speaker 2: I don't need a degree. College is stupid. I don't
Speaker 2: want to do this. You're right, Finnally. When I got
Speaker 2: to LA, I fell in love with college and I
Speaker 2: wanted to become a professor, actually after the whole thing.
Speaker 1: But you'd be a cool professor.
Speaker 2: I really wanted to do it. But going into academ
Speaker 2: is not a clever idea in this day and age.
Speaker 2: It's very limited jobs, no money, just kind of a meager,
Speaker 2: miserable existence.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're not doing a good job selling at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't recommend.
Speaker 1: I mean, well about now. If it was more like
Speaker 1: a part time hustle where you like just like taught
Speaker 1: one or two classes, cool college.
Speaker 2: That would be so fun. I would love that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you majored in history. First, is that knowledge something
Speaker 1: that you use regularly? And second, do you consider the
Speaker 1: Marshall Plan to have been a major catalyst for the
Speaker 1: Cold War?
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of feelings about the Marshall Plan.
Speaker 2: I did more of the Cold War Eastern European dissident
Speaker 2: intellectual history. It was more my focus. History is a
Speaker 2: huge part of what I do with Booze, which is
Speaker 2: something I never thought would be the case. I thought,
Speaker 2: if I didn't go into academ history is pretty meaningless
Speaker 2: for your life. But luckily, when you're writing about Booze
Speaker 2: and learning about Booze that it's an important skill set.
Speaker 1: When did cocktail culture first emerge?
Speaker 2: Hunch was a huge thing for a long time, and
Speaker 2: it wasn't until the nineteenth century where people started making
Speaker 2: it really individually as the go to and bars obviously
Speaker 2: took a bit of a hit during Prohibition, and then
Speaker 2: we have something called the cocktail dark ages from like
Speaker 2: the sixties, well, seventies, eighties, nineties, Like I think you
Speaker 2: know Tom Cruise the movie Cocktail Tgi Friday's Cocktail.
Speaker 1: Do you like the movie Cocktail?
Speaker 2: It's a fun movie. I'm not sure i'd consider him
Speaker 2: an aspirational bartender, I mean, good flare bartending.
Speaker 1: Do you know how to throw a bottle around and stuff?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: No, have you ever?
Speaker 2: Chris? Yes? But not successfully? I mean I'm I'm yeah,
Speaker 2: not my skill. Very cool to watch, but yeah. But
Speaker 2: so the cocktail Dark Ages, it's when people started using
Speaker 2: fake sweeteners and fake citrus and all these wacky mixers
Speaker 2: that you know, weren't very good, and the bad peach snops,
Speaker 2: the anatomically named shots became popular, all that sort of thing,
Speaker 2: and it wasn't done. Around the year two thousand we
Speaker 2: started coming out of the Dark Ages.
Speaker 1: Did you ever enjoy a jello shot?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, yeah, there's some good jello shots.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't.
Speaker 2: There's a place in Portland, Oregon. This is someone who
Speaker 2: doesn't drink. This is gonna since twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Oh did you move there before or after the pandemic?
Speaker 2: I moved there. Do you remember how the Princess Cruise
Speaker 2: line was docking in San Francisco and that's where everyone
Speaker 2: was like, the plague is coming to America.
Speaker 1: I don't really.
Speaker 2: I was driving out of San Francisco to Portland as
Speaker 2: it was docking, so we were right, we just fled
Speaker 2: this citay.
Speaker 1: Was it because of the pandemic that you moved partly?
Speaker 2: But also San Francisco wasn't my favorite place to live.
Speaker 1: Do you love Portland?
Speaker 5: I do?
Speaker 2: We have a really good grocery store that I'm obsessed with.
Speaker 2: I go there every day. I feel like Bell from
Speaker 2: Beauty and the Beast, and I look at the beautiful
Speaker 2: produce and I get very every day. Pretty much.
Speaker 1: I respect it.
Speaker 2: I love grocery stores.
Speaker 1: I wish I loved it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's I love.
Speaker 1: I love getting fresh food every day, but just going there.
Speaker 2: Having one that's like that special one that you just
Speaker 2: know that you love and you can rely on, I
Speaker 2: don't know, and that they'll always be something fresh and different.
Speaker 1: My problem is I have two children that I have
Speaker 1: to love, and then they both are like making me
Speaker 1: get the stupid cart that's like shaped like a police car,
Speaker 1: and then they're like climbing in and out of it.
Speaker 1: Now I've got to do physical restraint up against the car.
Speaker 1: It's just awful, the whole thing. Can you hold your.
Speaker 2: Liquor pretty well? Pretty well? I'm sometimes surprised. I'll be
Speaker 2: out with friends and I'm like, why are they acting
Speaker 2: so funny?
Speaker 1: And then I go, oh, you're not a lightweight.
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm not not no expensive.
Speaker 1: Can you just go to a party and be like
Speaker 1: a guest or? Is there pressure for you to grab
Speaker 1: a shaker every time.
Speaker 2: I love making cocktails at parties. I mean, I'm a
Speaker 2: bit of an introvert, so having like an activity to
Speaker 2: do a little way to escape into the kitchen for
Speaker 2: a while is great for me. But yeah, I also
Speaker 2: just love making drinks. I enjoy the process, So I
Speaker 2: hope I'm supposed to make drinks when I go someplace.
Speaker 1: Have you ever worked as a bartender?
Speaker 2: No? No, I haven't. The closest I got was I
Speaker 2: was a barista at Starbucks for about three weeks, which
Speaker 2: was awful. I mean not because of the job, because
Speaker 2: of me. I was terrible at it. I'm not a
Speaker 2: morning person, having to wake up at three am when
Speaker 2: I've just gone to bed at two am.
Speaker 1: Yeah, an hour is not enough.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: All the experts will say that do you drink coffee?
Speaker 1: Are you a big coffee person?
Speaker 2: Are you a bad coffee person? I'm not a snob.
Speaker 2: I'm like a an espresso next to my bed and
Speaker 2: just put in the pot, and you know, I do
Speaker 2: it medicinally. How about you.
Speaker 1: I don't drink any caffeine. I'm like a Mormon. Oh
Speaker 1: you got to meet my wives, beautiful, all of them.
Speaker 1: How do you come up with your recipes.
Speaker 2: I often go from a historic recipe where I'll look
Speaker 2: at that and I'll kind of make some adjustments.
Speaker 1: By the way, here's what I do appreciate the most.
Speaker 1: I will say about because I don't drink them, but
Speaker 1: they're so visually beautiful. Yeah, I mean that I can
Speaker 1: appreciate my favorite drink.
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
Speaker 1: I don't drink ever. Okay, you have to understand that
Speaker 1: I love this is this is going to reflect I mean,
Speaker 1: you're gonna judge me. So there's a passion fruit margarita
Speaker 1: at Nobu. Okay that I love.
Speaker 2: That sounds nice, that sounds lovely. Fashion fruit is great.
Speaker 1: Oh, I love it. That's my one. I'm always get
Speaker 1: excited when I have it.
Speaker 2: Have you ever tried a porn star martini fashion fruit
Speaker 2: based cocktail and there's a little sidecar of champagne with it?
Speaker 1: Whoa you hear that side car? I love getting a
Speaker 1: side car of anything that sounds fancy. Do they all
Speaker 1: taste like? Are you happy with the way they taste?
Speaker 1: Or they are some of them bad?
Speaker 2: Oh? Some of them are awful. One of our favorite
Speaker 2: series is Weirdly Dirty Martinis, and this is something where
Speaker 2: we don't taste it before we should make the video.
Speaker 2: I just make this thing and then my husband and
Speaker 2: I will give our review after we make it. And
Speaker 2: sometimes it's pretty bad. I did a melon pergudo one vile,
Speaker 2: absolutely awful I tried to do. And you know, the
Speaker 2: tinned fish craze is really big. I tried to fat
Speaker 2: wash a gin with the tinned fish oil. And I
Speaker 2: don't have you ever buy any chance had fermented shark
Speaker 2: in like Iceland.
Speaker 1: I've had some bad stuff.
Speaker 2: It's one of those things where your body is like,
Speaker 2: this shouldn't be it, it doesn't go down.
Speaker 1: I just what was that thing? That can of what
Speaker 1: that I opened? What was it? Sir? Strawman, get a
Speaker 1: can of s to Stramen.
Speaker 2: Okay, try that one.
Speaker 1: And just open it up and see what you can
Speaker 1: do with it. Oh man, so Straman. If you can
Speaker 1: get a can of that, open it and turn it
Speaker 1: into a drink of some kind. Are there any drinks
Speaker 1: that you can't stand? And what's your beef with a
Speaker 1: vodka Martini's?
Speaker 2: Okay? I mean I think so a lot of people
Speaker 2: who did drink potentially in college and high school, they
Speaker 2: have that one spirit that maybe they over consumed a bit.
Speaker 2: So the taste of it, the smell of it is triggering, Yeah, triggering.
Speaker 2: It also doesn't have much flavor, like a good vodka
Speaker 2: is supposed to taste like nothing, which me is not
Speaker 2: really what I go for. I want something with some
Speaker 2: good flavor.
Speaker 1: So to quote my good friend deceased as Sean Rouse,
Speaker 1: He's like vodka, it's just a nice kiss to the liver.
Speaker 1: What about eggnog? Is there a way to not make
Speaker 1: it gross?
Speaker 2: I think egg drinks in general disgusting. I'm not an
Speaker 2: egg person. I find it smells like a wet dog
Speaker 2: to me. It's the idea of it is very gloopy
Speaker 2: and unappealing.
Speaker 1: I always eggnog. I always think a David tel a comedian,
Speaker 1: he refers to it as elf come. He says, you
Speaker 1: might as well throw it on your back.
Speaker 2: Well. Yeah. One of my earliest successful, uh, one of
Speaker 2: my earliest successful tiktoks was how to make eggnog, And
Speaker 2: it was put it in the thing, put some whipped
Speaker 2: cream on top, and put it in. Then throw it
Speaker 2: down the sink because agnog is fucking disgusting. Sorry, I
Speaker 2: don't know if I can swear.
Speaker 1: You can swear. I just said, elf, come for sure,
Speaker 1: you can swear. Uh you ever made a pruno? What
Speaker 1: is that toilet wine? Ah?
Speaker 2: Well, at the beginning of the pandemic, I did experiment
Speaker 2: with uh huh, and the process. I never brought it
Speaker 2: to completion. I'm too afraid of batchelism and I don't
Speaker 2: know what else so I but I did put the
Speaker 2: bread in the sugar and every the ketchup I think, yeah,
Speaker 2: And then he rushed this plastic bag and you put
Speaker 2: it in the back of the toilet.
Speaker 1: Well, sure you don't have the guards to see it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, But I mean we just didn't know
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the pandemic how dire things would get.
Speaker 1: Your videos have so many props, backgrounds and color schemes.
Speaker 1: Was that always the plan?
Speaker 2: No, No, not at all. I don't know why we
Speaker 2: started doing it, but once we did, we had so
Speaker 2: much fun with it that we kept going. I think
Speaker 2: we had been in apartments forever, and then when we
Speaker 2: finally had a house, we were like, look at all
Speaker 2: this space that we can just abuse.
Speaker 1: It's destroyed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, We're far too immature for that much house.
Speaker 1: You guys will like change your setup completely. You'll paint walls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a fun house in there. It's awful.
Speaker 2: Every wall is a different color and we're always just
Speaker 2: kind of doing stuff to it. It's been fun.
Speaker 1: And what about clothes shopping? Do you like like go?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love clothes shopping. I do estate sales, vintage places.
Speaker 1: You'll buy dead people's stuff, Oh yeah, you do.
Speaker 2: It has a story, it's cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, No, usually it's it's it's baked in.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I still don't believe in ghosts. So so far, How.
Speaker 1: Did you meet your husband?
Speaker 2: We met years ago in two thousand and six, and
Speaker 2: we met on the set of a commercial, which was
Speaker 2: very random, and it was love at first sight. He
Speaker 2: was he had just come from New York. He was
Speaker 2: suffering from amnesia. What and I had called it's pretty
Speaker 2: wild and I had moved.
Speaker 1: To lafore Track railroad track an Yeah, he was. I
Speaker 1: believe in amnesia.
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's it was so unbelievable to me. I
Speaker 2: was convinced it was a pickup line.
Speaker 1: Because this guy's you know, you married, you got catfished
Speaker 1: by someone that's still with you.
Speaker 2: Well, funnily, my mother also didn't believe this, and she
Speaker 2: got a PI to check out his story. Just what
Speaker 2: you didn't tell me till like two years ago, and
Speaker 2: I was shocked. But yeah, yeah, it's a it's quite
Speaker 2: a quite a story.
Speaker 1: I mean, what if he already had a family?
Speaker 2: Did he just about that? I worried about that. I
Speaker 2: was like, man, I really hope he doesn't eventually remember
Speaker 2: something pretty bad. I don't know, but so far it's
Speaker 2: been almost twenty years and no massive surprises. How about you,
Speaker 2: how did you meet your wife?
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Your husband now works for you.
Speaker 2: He's so good at what he does that sometimes I'll
Speaker 2: be like, please stop presenting me with all of these
Speaker 2: things that I'm supposed to be doing. Because he's the
Speaker 2: business side, and he's an incredible hustler, and he's loved
Speaker 2: reading contracts, loves doing all the communications. He's got spreadsheets
Speaker 2: and just he's so on top of it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes something that he learned after the amnesia war off
Speaker 1: or like, because sometimes you can have amnesi and then
Speaker 1: you also you can play the piano right like it.
Speaker 1: Maybe his brain was opened up in a different way.
Speaker 2: I think part of it was that he did have
Speaker 2: to stop relying on his memory so much. So he's
Speaker 2: a big writer downer. He writes everything down.
Speaker 1: You're married to Mermento, I got it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's very much that way.
Speaker 1: So our fifty first dates. Do you have a little
Speaker 1: VHS tape that you put in every morning to let
Speaker 1: him know that who you are? Hey?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a different one every day.
Speaker 1: More susceptible to another.
Speaker 2: I think he is. And he's had a lot of concussions, So.
Speaker 1: What does he why would he have a lot of
Speaker 1: Is he clumsy or does he.
Speaker 2: You know, he's not a good looker where he's going sometimes.
Speaker 2: He's one of these people who I think is so
Speaker 2: goal oriented that if he wants the thing over there,
Speaker 2: you will go there.
Speaker 1: And all obstacles, well, he doesn't know that he can't
Speaker 1: go through objects.
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly, So I think he has to keep me
Speaker 2: around to make sure you know, someone can call nine
Speaker 2: one one right here.
Speaker 1: If you have friends over to your house on a
Speaker 1: random Tuesday, are they getting served the wackiest martini ever?
Speaker 2: You know? Not always, but often I feel like it's
Speaker 2: really fun to do a crazy martini. There's one in
Speaker 2: particular that I like that I did bring today. It's
Speaker 2: a junk food martini, and it's in my book. I
Speaker 2: don't know if you like sea salt and vinegar potato chips,
Speaker 2: but you hate it.
Speaker 1: I hate vinegar. I hate the smell of vinegar.
Speaker 2: Oh you're gonna hate that.
Speaker 1: I Oh, I just spise it. I despised it. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you. As a child, when my parents would
Speaker 1: force us to die Easter eggs and the whole house
Speaker 1: would reach and I would just I would literally I
Speaker 1: wanted to be a part of dyeing the eggs, but
Speaker 1: I would be dry heaving because I can't stand the smell.
Speaker 1: Then there was a kick where they told us to
Speaker 1: start every day drinking white vinegar to start you. I
Speaker 1: don't know what they were telling us to drink. What
Speaker 1: was it? Vinegar? Sorry, apple cider and that.
Speaker 2: I I've always loved vinegar as a child, I understand.
Speaker 2: I know as a child.
Speaker 1: No, no, I had too many there's too many siblings.
Speaker 2: And we're poor, So you weren't just the chicken McNuggets.
Speaker 1: And no we didn't. I didn't get McNuggets.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Again, I'm like, we're poor, poor, I think so, I
Speaker 1: think we're poor. I don't remember favorite city to drink in.
Speaker 2: I think the one that surprised me the most is
Speaker 2: Vegas because I always had only been to the strip
Speaker 2: and I wasn't a big Vegas strip person. So when
Speaker 2: I went this last time for the series I do
Speaker 2: called drinking rubber bartenders tell.
Speaker 1: Me to, which is also something that no woman should
Speaker 1: ever do.
Speaker 2: I have my husband with me, so he's he's, you know,
Speaker 2: always there to make sure we're safe.
Speaker 1: It's a series you do where you go to a city,
Speaker 1: you go to a bar, probably a popular and then
Speaker 1: wherever that bartender tells you to go next. That's what
Speaker 1: you do.
Speaker 2: I go there and I drink what they drink. So
Speaker 2: for instance, in Maui, we started at the Ritz Carlton Capelua,
Speaker 2: and we thought the bartender there, you know, is going
Speaker 2: to be some fancy suggestion. Instead it was a died
Speaker 2: bar down the street and a beer, a shot of Jaeger,
Speaker 2: and a shot of tequila. This is how we had
Speaker 2: to start off the crawl. And you have to drink
Speaker 2: whatever they tell you to and then you go to
Speaker 2: the next place.
Speaker 1: I mean, you certainly don't.
Speaker 2: It's all on cam. I really I've got to do it.
Speaker 1: I do a lot of stuff on camera. Guess what,
Speaker 1: I fucking cheat some stuff.
Speaker 2: You think I'm gonna drink drink people you know like
Speaker 2: you know, they're like, she's not even she doesn't actually
Speaker 2: do it, and you know, then I got a bad reputation.
Speaker 1: Listen. I appreciate that there's integrity.
Speaker 2: It's one of the few careers where I'd get a
Speaker 2: bad reputation for not drinking to excess.
Speaker 1: But yes, well, Vegas, was there the Vegas? Where did
Speaker 1: they tell you to go?
Speaker 2: I started at a place called Vetri. There's a bartender
Speaker 2: called He's not just another bartender as his handle, he's great.
Speaker 2: He sent me to a place called Herbs and Rye,
Speaker 2: which was Dylan alcoholic.
Speaker 1: But got excited.
Speaker 2: He made a ramos gin fizz, which I don't know
Speaker 2: if you know what that is. But you have to
Speaker 2: shake this thing for like three minutes because there's egg
Speaker 2: in there, and it's very difficult.
Speaker 1: You don't like egg drinks.
Speaker 2: I don't like egg drinks, but the process is incredible
Speaker 2: to watch. Back in the day when they were invented,
Speaker 2: they'd have seven bartenders shake a single one of these
Speaker 2: drinks because once someone's arms got tired, they'd pass it
Speaker 2: off to them.
Speaker 1: I could shake for three minutes.
Speaker 2: No, you got shake to be very very vigorous with it.
Speaker 1: You remember the shake?
Speaker 2: Weaight, Yes, yes I do. I don't know if that's
Speaker 2: how they trained, but.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm just imagining that a three minute session on
Speaker 1: that would be la.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: Do you have any bar recommendations here?
Speaker 2: I do. I haven't lived here in a while, but
Speaker 2: I've never been to Thunderbolt. I really want to go
Speaker 2: to Thunderbolt. I hear great things. I've always had fun
Speaker 2: at Normandy Club Republique. There's another great bar. Miret is
Speaker 2: really wonderful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know when you go out to bars, to.
Speaker 1: Bars you don't go to. I don't go out.
Speaker 2: I don't go out, So okay, you don't go out,
Speaker 2: so you're not in a position where you're there with
Speaker 2: other people drinking and you're like, Okay.
Speaker 1: My entire my entire life was surrounding myself with people
Speaker 1: that accept that I'm not going to go anywhere, or
Speaker 1: I'm going to say that I'll meet you there and
Speaker 1: then I will not be there.
Speaker 2: Do you have people over to your house or do you.
Speaker 1: Just avoid that my wife does, and I get furious,
Speaker 1: and then I and I, here's what I do at
Speaker 1: two hours. It's like things are going to start getting uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: like you better get you better get them to leave,
Speaker 1: because I'm going to start walking around the house, turning
Speaker 1: the lights off, closing doors, like let's go, let's get
Speaker 1: out of here. I love it, It's not my thing.
Speaker 1: I think two hours is the appropriate amount of time
Speaker 1: to be at someone else's home.
Speaker 2: I hear that there's a section in the book that
Speaker 2: I wrote about.
Speaker 1: Hold on, I got your book over here, how to
Speaker 1: Be a Better Drinker. You wrote this, by the way,
Speaker 1: a lot of weight to this book. Feels nice. It
Speaker 1: feels nice.
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: In a wooden tennis rack at the background, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Oh it's oh it's colored. Yeah, that explains the price
Speaker 1: tag too, color color photos in a book. I'm in
Speaker 1: the in the publishing game a little bit.
Speaker 2: I was hearing that you're writing a book with your
Speaker 2: own Yeah, I am. And how is working with her?
Speaker 1: Oh, it wouldn't happen if if it wasn't with her.
Speaker 1: She's doing everything amazing. I have to start. Oh, look
Speaker 1: at all these photos. Yeah, your photos are really pretty.
Speaker 2: Oh thank you?
Speaker 1: Does that drink good? A long sprawled G and T.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a nice one for like outdoor drinking in
Speaker 2: the summer. But I was going to say, we have
Speaker 2: a section in the book about how to kick people
Speaker 2: out of your house. Oh yeah, so if I don't
Speaker 2: think you have to drink in order to use the methods.
Speaker 1: Okay, can I give me a spoiler of a tip
Speaker 1: of how to kick somebody out?
Speaker 2: So we have a number of tips based on how
Speaker 2: confrontational you care to be. So I don't see that
Speaker 2: you struggle trying confrontation.
Speaker 1: Awkwardness, and I enjoy confrontation as long as it's verbal,
Speaker 1: not fast.
Speaker 2: Uh huh. So I think you know you would probably
Speaker 2: find by just like okay, go home. But for people
Speaker 2: who struggle with that a bit like I, do you
Speaker 2: know tips on how to lie to get them out?
Speaker 2: And then my favorite, which is gaslighting them out of
Speaker 2: the house. Oh so you make it warmer in the
Speaker 2: house and they keep saying it's getting warm, You make
Speaker 2: it warmer, got it? If they want another drink, you
Speaker 2: make it pretty weird. The playlist, you know, it's Gregory
Speaker 2: and Chance. All of a sudden and they stop.
Speaker 1: Wanting to do this. These aren't subtle at all.
Speaker 2: No, no, but once someone's had a few cocktails, they
Speaker 2: start to go, is this me? Is this weird? Or
Speaker 2: is it just me?
Speaker 1: Your book also talks about drinking etiquette. Yes, you know
Speaker 1: who could use a lesson in drinking etiquette? Old Dylan
Speaker 1: back there? God? Oh man does he put him away?
Speaker 1: How many drinks you have this morning? Dylan? Be honest,
Speaker 1: this is a safe space, all right. Everybody is on
Speaker 1: the show gets a gift. Oh, let's see what I
Speaker 1: get for you. Just you know, it's not it's not
Speaker 1: new stuff. This stuff around my house I don't want.
Speaker 2: I wish i'd brought you something.
Speaker 1: Oh, you're gonna make me a drink? Okay? These these
Speaker 1: are tomboard glasses that I bought my wife. And then
Speaker 1: she put them on and I made fun of her.
Speaker 1: I don't remember this I made and then.
Speaker 2: She she really set her up.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to. I just like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what I said, but I said something, and she refused
Speaker 1: to ever wear them again. But I thought they're silly
Speaker 1: enough for your.
Speaker 2: Okay, they look lovely, right, they are.
Speaker 1: Lovely, she she, but she won't ever put them on,
Speaker 1: because she said I teased them.
Speaker 2: You got a pair of glasses, No, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm a bit of a mixologist myself. I have
Speaker 1: a machine at my house that does sparkling water, okay,
Speaker 1: and all I all I do is flavor my sparkling waters.
Speaker 1: But I don't like any of the flavors that I'm
Speaker 1: giving you. I didn't like this. That's a I didn't
Speaker 1: like it. I don't want you to have that sounds horrible.
Speaker 1: You should never have bubbly water with pineapple in it, Okay.
Speaker 1: I don't know somebody. I don't know why somebody gave
Speaker 1: me this bottle of tequila, but I don't want it.
Speaker 2: Your your wife doesn't want it.
Speaker 1: No, she doesn't have a say. I got some beer cousies.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't ever drink beer. Wire there beer cuds.
Speaker 2: Ma.
Speaker 1: You're thinking I want all these gifts.
Speaker 2: Thank you, You're very gracious.
Speaker 1: That's aviator Nation. Why they somebody bought me a gross
Speaker 1: bottle of rose. I don't know if it's gross. That's
Speaker 1: not gonna fit in my wine fridge.
Speaker 2: Is that a? Is that a rose couna?
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is it's not mine, it's yours.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 1: Is it interesting or is it hideous?
Speaker 2: I do think it's a wine interesting.
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever. Will you please put it all
Speaker 1: on the floor because we can't have it up here.
Speaker 1: This is that garbage tequila.
Speaker 2: I I've never had it.
Speaker 4: I'll have to garbage that looks good? Is it good?
Speaker 1: I don't know, well, I don't. Is tequila bad or good?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: It can be good.
Speaker 2: People love tequila here.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it actually scared.
Speaker 2: Me me too, all right, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: My poor desk. Hey puzzles, Yeah, I got you too, tiny.
Speaker 2: Puzzles, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: You know what I want you to do? I want,
Speaker 1: since they're tiny puzzles, I want you to pull down
Speaker 1: your tray table in Alaska Airlines and see if you
Speaker 1: can knock out a puzzle before you land.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I love it. Yeah, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1: What are some of the basic staples you can keep
Speaker 1: on hand to make some simple cocktails at home?
Speaker 2: I think as long as you have a citrus like
Speaker 2: a lemon or a lime, I got both of those perfect, perfect,
Speaker 2: some sort of sweetener, and then pretty much any straight spirit.
Speaker 2: You have a really good start there. So it's easy vodka, gin, bourbon, rum, tequila,
Speaker 2: you name it, and that's all you really need.
Speaker 1: When did we start needing four hundred different types of
Speaker 1: ice on hand? There's two types of a big deal.
Speaker 1: I want cubed and crush. Anything else, I go fuck yourself,
Speaker 1: is what I say.
Speaker 2: Oh, man, ice is a really big deal.
Speaker 1: You want to ice? Do you make that? Do you
Speaker 1: what kind of traser in your freezer?
Speaker 2: So we go way crazier than that. We do the
Speaker 2: directional freezing for the clear ice, and then we chop
Speaker 2: it with a saw at our house.
Speaker 1: What is going on?
Speaker 2: Because the clear ice melts at a slower rate, so
Speaker 2: it doesn't dilute your drink as quickly.
Speaker 1: I remember at one point people were buying I remember
Speaker 1: as a child those reusable ice cubes. Yeah, that is disturbing.
Speaker 1: That was thrown in a drink as a childs my parents.
Speaker 1: There's no way my parents cleaned.
Speaker 2: They tried to make it cool to do that again
Speaker 2: with whiskey stones, which are like rocks you put in
Speaker 2: the freezer and then you put in your drink. They're
Speaker 2: not very effective. I agree, there's something gross about that
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 1: I don't trust any place. They're not cleaning it not
Speaker 1: well enough. If someone at home wanted to impress their guest,
Speaker 1: what's a simple drink they could make to impress.
Speaker 2: To impress? I think a Bulevardia is always a nice one.
Speaker 2: It's three ingredients and all you're doing is switching out
Speaker 2: the base spirit and it's a sophisticated, lovely drink. You
Speaker 2: can make it ahead of time. It doesn't go bad,
Speaker 2: so you can keep it in your freezer, and it
Speaker 2: looks pretty. It's got like you know, a cool name.
Speaker 2: I think that's a really good, easy one.
Speaker 1: I like equal parts. You start saying a splash of this,
Speaker 1: and I get scared. You just fool are strong though.
Speaker 4: Bullivardias are three spirits together.
Speaker 2: Yes they are strong, but I think you know you
Speaker 2: used to will seem impressive, you know, but they're very strong,
Speaker 2: very strong.
Speaker 1: Don't you know what you're getting? Dylan? Dylan wants a
Speaker 1: lot of bangers.
Speaker 4: Bot get a little loose lipped over here.
Speaker 1: Okayn, are you gonna make me a drink?
Speaker 2: I am gonna make you a drink I.
Speaker 1: Brought to Okay, I'm excited for both.
Speaker 2: Okay, you didn't bring the.
Speaker 1: Vinegar one though, did you you did?
Speaker 2: Okay, great, you're gonna hate it, but I was I
Speaker 2: was expecting.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: Start with the good one. Okay, good, Okay, you do
Speaker 1: whatever you gotta do. Yeah, whatever you gotta do. True
Speaker 1: or false mixology is a term that was coined by
Speaker 1: every asshole behind a bar who sports a vest and
Speaker 1: has an over the top mustache.
Speaker 2: It's pretty widely made fun of at this point. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone wants to go by that anymore.
Speaker 1: What did you bring an ice scoop? Or just for that?
Speaker 2: I have a lot of paraphernalia.
Speaker 1: It just seems like you get just thrown some ice
Speaker 1: in there. I'm not gonna I'm not a I'm not
Speaker 1: a germophobe. Are you putting milk in something?
Speaker 2: Hey? You said you like?
Speaker 1: I do?
Speaker 2: Not like?
Speaker 1: Maybe? When I was six? Do you have any I
Speaker 1: have any? I have iv Ya? This is she's gonna
Speaker 1: light me up. Can most cocktails be turned into mocktails
Speaker 1: that are even more delicious while costing the exact same
Speaker 1: astronomical price.
Speaker 2: I think that we're doing a lot with mocktails right now.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm still rarely find a mocktail I like as
Speaker 2: much as a cocktail.
Speaker 1: I went to this place and in Tahoe City and
Speaker 1: they have all these like non alcoholic whiskeys and jam.
Speaker 2: I'm just like it, just for mocktails that just don't
Speaker 2: don't even really try.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want something that my kid can sip.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's one that I make around the holidays that
Speaker 2: I really like, because what holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: Love Christmas?
Speaker 2: I do? I love Christmas too, all right, So what
Speaker 2: we're gonna do here is we have some Cognya creme
Speaker 2: to cacao and some Grandmaier. So that's chocolate and orange
Speaker 2: and cognak with some heavy cream. Okay, no, you.
Speaker 1: Don't have apologize. It might be delicious, all right.
Speaker 2: So we do that, and then you want to close
Speaker 2: the shaker really well so it doesn't explode. Now I'm
Speaker 2: gonna have to stand up.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm nervous. Okay, look at that. Now? Is this
Speaker 1: gonna be? Is this gonna get prettier.
Speaker 2: Or is this to get a little prettier.
Speaker 1: Because that's what I wanted. I want to drink. Oh,
Speaker 1: what kind of chocolate is this?
Speaker 2: This is an orange chocolate. You don't like chocolate?
Speaker 1: No, I don't like orange chocolate.
Speaker 2: Why chocolate is a Christmas tree? You know those chocolate oranges.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you go with just a regular dark chocolate?
Speaker 1: Is it milk chocolate or dark? Okay? How much cacao?
Speaker 1: Are we talking?
Speaker 2: I don't have the wrapper. Honey, do you want to
Speaker 2: see how much?
Speaker 1: Don't worry about my desk? All right, l yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like over seventy Is it over seventy? That's all.
Speaker 2: I don't think it is. I don't think it's that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could have gotten a smaller file. Is that
Speaker 1: a foot file if you're brought if you brought a
Speaker 1: foot file here?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Okay, here you are just finished.
Speaker 2: This is a chocolate orange Brandy Alexander.
Speaker 1: Orange Brandy Alexander. Yes, and I'm just supposed to sip
Speaker 1: it and enjoy it. Am I supposed to chug it? Cheers?
Speaker 2: Cheers?
Speaker 1: Thank you for making this.
Speaker 2: Okay, you don't have to like it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't like it. I don't like it.
Speaker 1: But it's but it's not like I'm not struggling to
Speaker 1: choke it down.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's good. That's good.
Speaker 1: It's just part of me. It was like, well, I'd
Speaker 1: rather just eat that chocolate bar. Does anybody does this
Speaker 1: drink sound delicious to one of you?
Speaker 4: It sounds good, Dyl.

Speaker 2: of alcohol.
Speaker 1: Uh huh oh yeah, all I taste is alcohol.
Speaker 2: That's so funny.
Speaker 1: That's really good. Good, we'll drink it all.

Speaker 2: All right? So first, would you like to pick your
Speaker 2: cocktail peg?
Speaker 1: What are my choices here?
Speaker 2: I think there's more of an astrology theme to this set, So.
Speaker 1: I'll take a crab. Okay, I love a little crab.
Speaker 2: Are you an astrology person? No?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? That's nonsense.
Speaker 2: I don't get astrology, but I always think it's fun
Speaker 2: listening to people talk about it.
Speaker 1: I mean it might as well speak a foreign language to.
Speaker 2: Me, which would be awful.
Speaker 1: No foreign language. I can't make out any words.
Speaker 2: And all right, so this has been this is a
Speaker 2: gin that infused with sea salt and vinegar potato chips
Speaker 2: and then has been fat washed.
Speaker 1: So did you infuse it. Yes, what kind of potato
Speaker 1: chips kettle does some good work. Yes, they really know
Speaker 1: how to make their chips crunchy. That's a long spoon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 2: This is my travel spoon.
Speaker 1: You think your travelspoon would be shorter, but your travelspoon
Speaker 1: is longer than all of our spoons.
Speaker 2: It's a telescoping I understand what it is.
Speaker 1: That's fun. That's fun. You could if you and your
Speaker 1: husband had seats across the aisle on Alaska Airlines, you
Speaker 1: could be you got to try this, honey, and you

Speaker 2: No, No, you ll stuff three olives. Apparently it's bad
Speaker 2: luck to do olives in Even.
Speaker 1: That sounds Asian. They hate they hate the number four.
Speaker 1: The Asians hate the number four. Is it all Asians
Speaker 1: or is it just is it just Chinese or is
Speaker 1: it Japanese?
Speaker 4: I think it's all all.
Speaker 1: Asians hate the number four, every single one. They hate it.
Speaker 1: I always learned that from when I used to watch
Speaker 1: like home shopping shows and like the Asian kupa bag.
Speaker 1: We can't have a feign our address. And I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, that's it. It's just potato chips.
Speaker 2: And there's a little olive brine in there as well.
Speaker 2: And then this is it's tough here, But the most
Speaker 2: important part of a martini is the temperature and dilution,
Speaker 2: so I almost think of those as their own ingredient,
Speaker 2: which is why this one won't be ideal because I
Speaker 2: couldn't freeze all this material ahead of time.
Speaker 1: Is this mine?
Speaker 2: This is yours?
Speaker 1: Oh man, look at this?
Speaker 2: The other taking takers it is?
Speaker 1: We already know who's going to take that.
Speaker 2: Cheers.
Speaker 1: Wait, we have the John's coming in. Am I supposed
Speaker 1: to drink?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, do I need to hold my crab?
Speaker 2: You don't need to. Oh you're gonna hate that. But
Speaker 2: if you like dirty martinis.
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not going to say that I hate it.
Speaker 1: No it's not good. No, it's not good. I don't
Speaker 1: hate it.
Speaker 2: It's it's very funky. It's very dirty. But one of
Speaker 2: the things that I really liked about this is so
Speaker 2: many drinks are sweet, oh wow, and this is not sweet.
Speaker 2: This is very, very, very savory. You can smell the
Speaker 2: potato chip.
Speaker 1: Right, I can smell a potato chip. Guys, maybe I
Speaker 1: am a super taster.
Speaker 2: So did you prefer the sweet, creamy one or the dank, salty, savory,
Speaker 2: dirty one.
Speaker 1: I don't have the answer to that.
Speaker 2: The thing about this one is it's really weird, but
Speaker 2: I also feel like it's one I find myself craving randomly.
Speaker 2: I'll be like, just in the mood for something really salty, and.
Speaker 1: Like should like you're holding you.
Speaker 2: Do want to hold it by the stem because you
Speaker 2: don't want to warm the drink with your hand, gotcha?
Speaker 1: I mean I think I feel cooler drinking this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it matches your outfit. You look great.
Speaker 1: The other one I felt like I was drinking a milkshake.
Speaker 4: This matches your shirt, right, This is good?
Speaker 1: Well, John, you want to come in here try this
Speaker 1: other one? Come on, try this one and tell me
Speaker 1: if you I don't dislike it. I thought I was
Speaker 1: gonna hate it.
Speaker 2: I thought you were too, especially because the vinegar element
Speaker 2: and there's vinegars.
Speaker 1: I got a cheers again. I already cheers before it does.
Speaker 1: I don't think I have to cheers every new person
Speaker 1: that comes to the fucking table. But I hate when
Speaker 1: we're at a large table and people start cheers in
Speaker 1: and now we're going around weird? Do you like very weird?
Speaker 2: So normally would I do with these olives too? I
Speaker 2: put bacon, blue cheese, and a little fresh garlic in
Speaker 2: the olives, so you kind of take a sip and
Speaker 2: then you have a bite and it's it's kind of
Speaker 2: like a potato chip, loaded potato chip sort of situation. Well,
Speaker 2: I admire your bravery.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like I serve our country. I
Speaker 1: just had a drink of alcohol. I want to thank
Speaker 1: you for your service. By the way, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, would you rather just have a nice
Speaker 1: glass of wine?
Speaker 2: No? Absolutely not. Huh do you like wine? No?
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't know if you were like, no,
Speaker 1: I appreciate this, and you like this, But I didn't
Speaker 1: know if you were like yeah, But if I can just.
Speaker 2: Neither of these is my go to I'll drink black
Speaker 2: Manhattan's are sort of what I make most of the
Speaker 2: time at home. When you make cocktails, you can make
Speaker 2: it exactly the way you like it. Every time where's
Speaker 2: a bottle of wine, I can't really have much say
Speaker 2: in what's in the bottle once it's there, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm not really getting in there and making it perfect
Speaker 2: for my own tastes.
Speaker 1: Have you ever named one of your own drinks?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, okay, a lot of them, a lot of
Speaker 2: your You've named this like this is the junk food Martini.
Speaker 2: It's in the book, So this is yours. Yes, No

Speaker 1: got music? What do you wanna do with me? Some
Speaker 1: old Elvis Presley sound like? Yeah? You like Elvis? You
Speaker 1: don't like Elvis. I never could learn to speak dog.
Speaker 1: This free plug is a reminder that if you bought
Speaker 1: Quaker products like Chewy Bars, Free de Lay chips, or
Speaker 1: Captain Crunch between December twenty twenty three and January twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, that's a small window she aout just that
Speaker 1: one month period. Any Quaker, but you might be entitled
Speaker 1: to a piece of a six point seven five million
Speaker 1: dollar class action lawsuit. What's the claim? You guys know?
Speaker 1: They Quaker allegedly used misleading labeling and failed to properly
Speaker 1: warn people that some products might have had a little salmonella. Surprise.
Speaker 1: Hold on, now they used misleading labeling? Oh, just about
Speaker 1: the salmonella.
Speaker 3: I think it's a couple things wrapped up into one
Speaker 3: class action.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but how is there labeling wrong for a one
Speaker 1: month period? Wow? It must have been about the labeling
Speaker 1: must have been in reference to the salmonella. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: it's not like they're gonna change. They don't change the
Speaker 1: box the Captain Crunch every month. They probably haven't changed
Speaker 1: the box in six years. I might take a shot
Speaker 1: at Captain Crunch on my own for tearing up the
Speaker 1: roof of my mouth as a child. There you go,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Captain Crunch. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you're a sponsored the show. Hell, I don't care at
Speaker 1: this point. You send me six boxes, okay, and two
Speaker 1: boxes better be a berry crunch crunch, berry crunch berry whatever.
Speaker 1: They fucking know they work the what they're doing. They're
Speaker 1: one of them's got berries. I'm not giving them. I
Speaker 1: don't need to say it right if if if I'm
Speaker 1: suing them.
Speaker 3: It's a threat.
Speaker 1: I'm threatening them whatever. I want six three boxes, six
Speaker 1: three bloxes, and I shut the fuck up of just Crunchberry.
Speaker 1: What's that of just Crunchberry? No, you didn't listen. I
Speaker 1: said four boxes are gonna be of Captain Crunch, the original,
Speaker 1: and then I want two boxes of Captain Berry Crunch.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. If they do a chocolate one,
Speaker 1: I don't want that at all.
Speaker 4: Well, doing the peanut butter I.
Speaker 1: Don't fucking like the peanut butter one. It's a bit overwhelming.
Speaker 1: It's two now, I don't want the peanut butter one.
Speaker 1: The peanut butter one grosses me out. In fairness, you
Speaker 1: know what, Captain Crunch, knock it off. Just send me
Speaker 1: some puffins. I like puffins, kind of remember Captain cort
Speaker 1: I yes, they would rip the roof of your mouth,
Speaker 1: but then it would get like slimy around the edge.
Speaker 2: Ugh.
Speaker 1: I always yell at my children whenever I pour them
Speaker 1: a bowl of cereal like go, like go, And they don't.
Speaker 1: They don't care. They just they're so slow and then
Speaker 1: it's just they just eating mush thirty minutes later like
Speaker 1: cereal should be. You got like forty five seconds. Don't
Speaker 1: worry about a lengthy trial. Well, Quaker denies any wrongdoing. Uh,
Speaker 1: they're coughing up the settlement anyway to avoid the cost
Speaker 1: and PR nightmare of court. It's not a PR nightmare.
Speaker 1: Go to battle. If you're saying you didn't do anything wrong,
Speaker 1: fight it, Quaker. What other products do they have? They do?
Speaker 1: They do all the chips and the bars and the chips.
Speaker 1: You do your oats, I mean the Quaker oats.
Speaker 4: It was a little pack with the flavored instant oatmeal.
Speaker 1: What are all the flavors that come in the variety
Speaker 1: pack of the instant.
Speaker 5: Oval Cinnamon, you have maple, you have apple, and then
Speaker 5: you have a regular.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's just apple that you try to avoid. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't even really, I don't even really do those.
Speaker 1: I haven't done those in a lifetime. Oat Wheel's not
Speaker 1: really my favorite. Not cream a wheat. That's another story.
Speaker 1: I love cream a wheat, haven't had it in probably
Speaker 1: forty years, But I know that I used to love
Speaker 1: cream and wheat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure you still do love cream and wheat.
Speaker 1: Do you know I love it? No?
Speaker 4: No, no, I'm pretty sure you don't.
Speaker 1: You put a pat of butter in there and you
Speaker 1: give me a couple pieces of toast. Oh that's a
Speaker 1: good breakfast. Some cream aweat cream a wheat I never had.
Speaker 1: I never had grits really as a regular meal as
Speaker 1: a child, but I always had cream a wheat. M hm. Guys,
Speaker 1: we're talking about a free free uh plug for the
Speaker 1: Quaker lawsuit class action suit. Well, I'm glad that Quaker's
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. See you next week.
