I got to say thank you, so I just took a little road trip down to Florida to see my mom. Yes, and you know it's, you're driving right and you're always using the GPS. I, even around town, I just do the GPS, yeah, I just do the GPS, yeah. And then, but it's always and I sent you guys the ETA, right. So I punch it up and it's the ETA. Is it just me? Or every time that comes up, you're like oh, I could beat that.
August: 1:31
Well, you always want to, is that is that is.
Jamie: 1:33
do I say that out loud Like 80% of the time I it's, like it's like smoking the band.
Matt: 1:49
Hey, we're losing minutes. We're losing minutes. That's how I remember I'm smoking the band. See I, I come on, fred, we're losing minutes, we're losing minutes. I know where I'm going 99 at the time but I still use the gps for traffic patterns yeah, right so that that's me if I'm on, you know, on the way to work. You know it's a normal way. I'm just like well, if this is going to be a minute faster, I'll try it that way instead. We're coming back from.
August: 2:06
Wisconsin. I was at the beer festival last week and New Glarus beer you can only get in Wisconsin, so I got a trunk full of New Glarus. So I mentioned to someone they're like oh so that mustache is now a Smokey and the Bandit mustache not a Magnum PI mustache. I'm like yeah that's right. I'm running a new Glarus spotted cow across borders instead of a course from Arkansas, kansas or whatever, to Atlanta.
Jamie: 2:29
Always trying and I did. I put just so you know I beat my time here by five minutes.
Matt: 2:33
Yes, Okay, were you doing I think it's Texarkana, sorry.
August: 2:36
Yeah.
Matt: 2:37
Were you doing Mach five with your hair on fire? I was. I was All right. That's what happened to it.
Jamie: 2:43
Yeah, colleen sheared me right before we went down to Florida, like, make me look like a marine.
Matt: 2:49
So you had a good time. Visit with mom, yeah, yeah. Yeah, memory is bad, bad, bad, but the health is fair, so 92, what are you gonna do? Right, just keep all living.
Jamie: 3:01
That's uh, you know. It's uh, you know. She forgets what she had for lunch. She still remembers me.
August: 3:08
It's all right, who really needs to remember what they had for lunch. Those aren't core memories.
Matt: 3:16
But, jamie, you're very unforgettable.
Jamie: 3:19
Ah well, there we are, In every way.
August: 3:22
All right. What do we have in front of us?
Jamie: 3:24
here we're having cocktails with Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool. Well, not really.
August: 3:29
Not with them. Well, in his fancy new bottle.
Jamie: 3:31
Yes, yeah. So the movie Deadpool, wolverine, I almost I wanted to go see it.
Matt: 3:37
I have to see it myself.
Jamie: 3:39
I haven't seen it because they do cheaper. They do teacher days throughout the summer at one of the movie, the other was imagine they were doing free teacher days on Wednesday before five o'clock, movies for free for teachers, and I was like, so I was going to go and Deadpool came out, and then I was like, oh cool. And so we and I was like, all right, I'm gonna go see it, you have to.
August: 4:03
It's you got to wait two weeks. Oh, you can't go into the first two weeks. You can't go in the first two weeks.
Jamie: 4:07
That makes a whole lot more sense to me now. A first two weeks of a run of a movie they don't no passes and no freebies, right, the first two weeks of a run of a movie. I went and I'm like, damn it, I went and saw it by the time it was over. Uh, the two weeks was up. The the teacher freebie thing was over. I'll go see it. It's bonkers.
August: 4:23
It's like next level bonkers. The first two are kind of bonkers, the classic oh you're shirt cocking me, and stuff like that it's just some great one-liners and breaking the fourth wall and celebrity cameos. He's got the tiny hand I need to go do something with this tiny hand and the conversation with his roommate about cocaine and everything.
Jamie: 4:42
It's here for blindness about cocaine and everything Care for blindness. Remember that part, remember that part.
August: 4:51
This one is a whole lot of references to Fox Disney, disney buying Fox the. X-men being incorporated. Lots of cameos. It's bonkers.
Jamie: 5:03
I want to see it. I like the Deadpool franchise. It's bonkers. I want to see it. I like the Deadpool franchise.
August: 5:06
It's great. It always had decent reviews. This is no different formula. This is no different entity except a fancier Deadpool bottle. Why not?
Jamie: 5:16
Yeah, because why not? Yeah, it's Aviation. Gin Ryan Reynolds His creation, I guess you would call it and then he sold it.
August: 5:27
Well, was it his creation or he was the original investor who put it together? Yeah, I mean we've had bad luck with celebrity booze in the past year. I feel like you know.
Jamie: 5:34
Yeah what do we have that we like? We like three. Chord was good, record was good three chords.
August: 5:39
Acceptable record was good there's like 17 different versions of it Belfour.
Matt: 5:43
Belfour is great. That's a celebrity, yeah, eddie Belfour.
Jamie: 5:46
Eddie Belfour Hockey.
August: 5:48
Oh I'm familiar with who he is Eddie the. Eagle was a different guy.
Jamie: 5:53
That was the ski jumper.
August: 5:54
That was the ski jumper.
Jamie: 5:55
No, no, Eddie the Eagle, he's got a capper on the Belfour thing. That's an eagle. He went by Eddie the Eagle too All right, all right.
August: 6:08
So more than more than one eagle, but what else?
Jamie: 6:10
do we have that we like?
August: 6:11
Celebrity. We didn't like the.
Jamie: 6:12
Stapleton whiskey right? No, it was weak.
Matt: 6:14
Jack Daniels, jack Daniels. What was the? The country artist that did the collaboration with Jack Daniel, eric Church?
Jamie: 6:21
I don't think we've done Eric. No, we haven't Church. I thought we tried that. No, we just did the bottled and bond Jack Daniels bottled and bond. I have a bottle of Eric Church In a bottle. Let him out.
August: 6:35
Oh god, there's our humor level tonight everyone. It's a good thing I'm here.
Jamie: 6:41
Golfing all day.
August: 6:43
So we did bring out a bottle of your standard Tangeray London Dry.
Jamie: 6:46
I figured, before we make the cocktail, let's try the gin.
August: 6:50
Yeah, because we haven't had aviation on its own.
Jamie: 6:52
It says we're going to do. We had a welcome cocktail, as we were committed we usually do, and then so we're going to do the aviation, but make them small, make them small, small, small. It's not even.
Matt: 7:04
I'm going to crack to it I'm going to crack it.
August: 7:06
I'm going to crack it.
Jamie: 7:09
Crackety crack crack.
August: 7:11
It's a twist off. Sniff that cap, baby. Sniff that aluminum Geez. I wonder how bad the inside of Brian Reynolds mask smells at the end of just any shooting day. I don't understand why Deadpool wears the mask. Just run around Scary looking. Enough, Wade.
Matt: 7:29
It's all about the presentation.
Jamie: 7:31
There's the Tangeray Tangeray. We're going to do a little comparative. You got a Deadpool for me there.
Matt: 7:38
I do have a Deadpool.
Jamie: 7:41
I've been meaning to do the aviation. I wanted to get a bottle of it and do a cocktail, to get a bottle of it and do it um, do a cocktail. Just so. You know, I wasn't scared of it, I just didn't?
August: 7:49
uh, I actually never put it together. Wasn't the avion tequila? Wasn't that a celebrity? One too, was that george clooney?
Jamie: 7:57
yeah, there was a clooney, it was a resto cabresto was no the one with a C, casamigo that's it, you're right and then.
August: 8:11
Avion was the one that was In the TV show Entourage. That was supposed to be the Mark Cuban one right.
Matt: 8:16
And then the rock has his own version.
August: 8:19
Of a drink.
Matt: 8:20
Tequila? Yeah, I think it was.
Jamie: 8:22
Yeah, all right, but Ryan Reynolds and the Deadpool.
Matt: 8:25
All right, so I just the tangaree yeah you could definitely tell it's a gin yeah, it's much more of a nose on the tangaree. But the aviation doesn't have isn't as prominent of a gin nose right it's a little bit lighter so we are just our. Just off of that, I already know which one I'm going to like more.
Jamie: 8:43
Okay.
August: 8:50
And the celebrity list of celebrity alcohol, because a seven and taste, a nine for star power and a one for shamelessness.
Matt: 8:55
That's about right. All right, tangeray, definitely.
August: 9:00
Gin Gin. Oh, okay.
Jamie: 9:12
It's gin flavored, gin Gentlemenare, yeah, yeah, you're not a straight gin.
Matt: 9:14
See, now I can drink high class or high, high class or high, high, high.
Jamie: 9:17
You're only two seconds I know I could drink the high clear, high clear castle gin straight, so can can I Gorgeous?
August: 9:24
All day long. Terra Mana. Tequila is the rocks. This Esquire does a list of 63 celebrity liquors, 63.
Jamie: 9:33
Kevin Hart's got that tequila in the big twisty bottle.
August: 9:39
Their number one, ranked one, is the Peyton Manning anti-rotic bourbon, sweden's.
Jamie: 9:46
Cve. Huh, oh, who's uh?
Matt: 9:49
burt kreischer really, burt's got something, he's got a, he's got a, he's got a vodka is that a celebrity? Well it's, it's all from his vodka drinking days back in the uh with the russian mob, yeah right yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jamie: 10:04
Did you see that movie? No, oh, I know I've seen the stand-up no, he did a movie, I'm aware it was on it was on netflix. Oh it's horribly, wonderfully awful. Oh my god, it's so bad it's so bad, it's good okay, now the oh, yeah, yeah, all right. Aviation. Talk to me about aviation.
August: 10:25
Much less, much more, much more spice as soon as right in the nose If you sit from next to each other.
Matt: 10:30
Yeah, More spice on the aviation, oh yeah, but oh yeah, subtle, subtle See. I like the aviation better than the tangerine oh, night and oh absolutely, we'll just.
August: 10:42
This is so Much better than tangerine. I'm getting orange.
Jamie: 10:46
Oh, there's a citrus, there's a citrusy coriander, all that kind of stuff.
August: 10:50
All those botanicals are in there.
Jamie: 10:51
Yeah, yeah.
August: 10:52
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Matt: 10:53
Oh yeah, oh see, I burned the top of my mouth with the. No, no. I had some food earlier today and it was hot. I burned the top of my mouth. So I'm drinking on this and it's hitting the top of my mouth and it's like I feel the spice, completely on this gin. I would almost do this More than I should.
Jamie: 11:13
I would almost do this on the rocks. I wonder how it would hold up to rocks the aviation. This is nice, ryan.
Matt: 11:19
Well done All right, ryan, you've got a great palate.
Jamie: 11:22
All right, that's not bad Since we're going down the rabbit hole.
August: 11:26
The number two ranked celebrity spirit on the Esquire's list is Singani 63. It's a Steven Spielberg grape distillate that he fell in love with drinking it when he was filming Che.
August: 11:38
It says Soderberg, not Spielberg Soderberg. Sorry, steven Soderberg, yeah, I don't read well, and it's a grape distillate based on some South American thing and I guess it's really good and it's a big. It loses star power because, uh well, it's a he's a nerd and the liquor is like kind of a nerdy liquor. So I decided to throw that in there because number three on the whole list of 63 is aviation gin three, okay, all right. Number three on the best of the celebrity spirits.
Jamie: 12:07
It's up there. It is good. It is a very nice gin, I would.
August: 12:11
I'm glad I have. I always want to hate these. I want to hate the celebrity boozes. This one's not bad. Number six is that there's the Rock Johnson one.
Matt: 12:20
Okay.
August: 12:21
Terramana tequila. Yeah, I didn't know. Michael Jordan had one too. Of course he does. Oh, matthew McConaughey's Wild Turkey, long Branch Bourbon. Don't threaten me with a good time, ladies and gentlemen All right, all right.
Jamie: 12:36
Where's that one from?
August: 12:37
That's number eight, and if you're all looking for something for my 50th birthday party, that would be a great gift, much like Matthew McConaughey often does.
Jamie: 12:44
He pulled out of that. I think't know he's got a bunch of kids and he's playing conga, but I'm bummed, I don't know. But no he's yeah, he left his partnership with Wild Turkey there, but the Long Branch is still available. His signature just isn't on it anymore. The new bottle it doesn't have his signature on it. But it's still the same recipe, the same mash milk. The world may have snickered when McConaughey was named.
August: 13:15
Wild Turkey's creative director, but his involvement in this uniquely Texas take on the kickin' chicken. The kickin' chicken, the eight-year-old Wild Turkey, is refined with Lone Star State Mesquite Charcoal as a boffo boost to the heritage brand.
Jamie: 13:28
No, it's great. I, I, I've, I've been through four, four or five bottles Wow.
Matt: 13:33
Of the wild turkey? Yeah, of the no. Of the long branch, oh the long branch.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh boy, what does Guar taste like?
August: 14:01
The stuff that gets vomited all over the state.
Jamie: 14:13
We've said this on the show before for good lord, what does guar taste? Oh no, I have a horrific, horrific story about flea and a major fan backstage and what she did.
August: 14:17
It'll make you puke. All right, great, okay. So we're onto the cocktail portion of our show I won't, I was.
Jamie: 14:22
If you're gonna tell you, tell it, and then I would tell it, but I won't, I'll tell you off, I'll tell you off camera. It's uh awful, it's just the worst thing ever and that'd be it.
Matt: 14:31
That's pretty awful.
Jamie: 14:32
It is. We need ice in the glasses, matt, the three glasses we're going to make the. Ryan did this on his YouTube channel. He did a Deadpool cocktail. It's the vasectomy. He put it out on Father's Day. So this has been out. This Deadpool's been out for a while.
August: 14:51

August: 15:33
It's not new to me, but it's new to Disney.
Jamie: 15:37
As Ryan goes through it.
August: 15:40
See, I tried to get all this prep work done ahead of time. I thought we could have pre-made these. He says, no, this is fun, pre-made the cocktails.
Jamie: 15:46
This is fun. This is fun, so he says, to fill a glass full of ice, and then you got one ounce of the cranberry.

Oh yeah, It'll be big enough. You said three ounces right, Three ounces of the Three of the tonic. It's one and a half and eat for each glass.
Jamie: 17:29
So okay, because I was gonna say I got a bigger glass. I'm doing math. I got a bigger glass there, don't mind me, I'm doing math so all right. So the the cranberry, I guess is where the red comes in for the dead girl.
Matt: 17:48
So you said, ryan, put this recipe out, right, mr Reynolds? All right.
Jamie: 17:52
He did this up on his, on his page and then. So you take that little yellow sucker, give a squeeze. Right, do we want to use a juicer? He just squoze it by hand, ok.
Matt: 18:04
He took a lemon, he squozed it.
Jamie: 18:06
Yeah, he took a lemon half. He was making Wolverine jokes because it's yellow Wolverine is yellow. I don't know. If you want to use a juicer, we've got a juicer over there.
Matt: 18:19
I'll use my hands.
August: 18:20
You just squoze it, you squeeze it, pick a number one to 64. We'll check out what the next celebrity, 32. Right in the middle.
Matt: 18:31
How much though, huh.
Jamie: 18:32
How much though, jimmy?
August: 18:35
It's like about a half.
Jamie: 18:36
Jeebus. What a mess About a half ounce of cocktails.
August: 18:38
What a mess 32 is Mulholland Distilling Walton Goggins.
Matt: 18:46
Walton Goggins. Why do I know that name? Who's Walton Goggins? Oh shoot.
August: 18:49
One of the great that Guy character actors working today Goggins LA-based company which he is a co-founder of, oh he's like Walter Goggins Whiskey vodka and gin.
Matt: 18:58
He was the thing in Fallout.
August: 19:01
The thing in Fallout. That means nothing to me.
Matt: 19:03
He was the character the red fade, the ghoul in Fallout. That still means nothing to me. Ghoul in fallout that still means nothing to me that's walter goggins.
Jamie: 19:08
Okay, I have no idea what you're saying to me right now all right.
Matt: 19:10
Well, I'm just trying to share. Well, walter goggins is a somewhat celebrity uh he's been around for a while, all right, so I got the the all right so you squeeze the uh fresh lemon juice in there half ounce.
August: 19:24
here's the best review I've read yet. Is uh haig club david beckham scotch coming in a bottle that resembles a kind of shitty cologne? Junior high boys drown themselves in this single green scotch tastes just about as good. Oh, it looks like that bottle does. Yes, it looks like it's a damn cologne bottle it does All right.
Jamie: 19:43
All right. So after the half ounce of fresh lemon juice, we're looking for one and a half ounces of Deadpool Aviator Gin. All right, here we go. Here we go. One and a one and a half ounce.
August: 19:55
That makes me never want to drink Tangeray again. It's completely off my list of acceptable spirits now, I've never had it raw.

I've never raw dogged the.
August: 20:05
Never raw, dogged your Tangeray.
Jamie: 20:07

Matt: 20:12
What's the price point difference between the tango ray and the aviation?
Jamie: 20:14
gin? Oh, I don't even know. And I've had tango ray 10, which I which I didn't mind. I've had that straight where did I buy it? I don't know if I got it at tony's or I'm assuming we stir. Yes, yes, and now stir, which is interesting because it's got juice in it. Normally juice, you shake, but there's tonic in it, so you want to shake a carbonated.
August: 20:40
Yeah, you want to blow up on there?
Jamie: 20:44
And then a nice lemon garnish. Give me another number there, Jamie 27.
August: 20:51

August: 21:06
Brothers Bond Bourbon, ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley. Brothers bond bourbon, ian summerhalder and paul wesley. I don't know why it angers me so when painfully handsome c-list actors get into the booze game, but it does is that what the brewery is? Yeah, thank you, they've been marketing their low-proof four-year-old bourbon to female consumers all right it, a five in taste, eight in shamelessness.
Matt: 21:32
I like the shamelessness votes there. That's pretty fun.
Jamie: 21:37
This is not really Deadpool, it's a little more pinky Tuscadero.
August: 21:41
It is very pink. It looks very baby shower. Are we at a?
Jamie: 21:46
gender reveal party. It is, when you're at a gender reveal party, just a tip pro tip don't take off your pants.
August: 21:54
Wow, that reveals the gender. That's just nothing. It tastes like 17 other cocktails we've had here. Hey, Not very red though.
Jamie: 22:05
No.
August: 22:06
I thought there was a picture on the wall I was going to refer to, but it wasn't there. Need more cranberry, maybe I think it needs some Luxardo. Yeah, everything always needs Luxardo, a little more Luxardo.
Jamie: 22:18
Yeah.
August: 22:18
I mean it's delightfully refreshing. I don't hate it.
Jamie: 22:20
Yeah.
August: 22:21
But it ain't nothing that's going to knock my socks off, I mean. I have a feeling the cocktail is better because it has the aviation gin in it than if it had the tangaree. I think I'd taste a little lighter, fluid than if it had the tangaree in it now.
Jamie: 22:36
But yeah, it's not red enough for me.
August: 22:41
Yeah, well.
Matt: 22:44
I keep touching it. You've got to earn your Red Wings somehow.
Jamie: 22:47
The Red Pool, the Deadpool gin or the aviation gin I would do and do cocktails with.
August: 22:55
I endorse it. It has the August Gitschleg's mustache. Seal of approval All right.
Matt: 23:01
I like it.
Jamie: 23:04
It was coming in a little cheaper than High Clear was, I think, aviation Gin.
Matt: 23:14
I'm glad I did, because I don't think I put a full half ounce of lemon juice in there, the lemon juice would have probably overpowered it a little bit more $29.27. That's pretty even $29.27, 27.
Jamie: 23:26
That's pretty even 29, 27,.
Matt: 23:27
Yeah, that's a pretty good price point for gin.
Jamie: 23:29
Yeah, I don't know if that's Michigan price or not, but it's the on-the-line price showing up.
Matt: 23:38
It's not the worst thing I've ever tasted.
Jamie: 23:40
No, all right, I'll finish it. I'm not finishing my straight up, tangerine.
Matt: 23:46
No, I set that aside myself. I think it's sitting right here. When August did his, he pounded him.
Jamie: 23:53
He did a whole just straight back. He kicked him back, we were sipping. He was like I'm getting this punishment over now and I sipped it. I'm like, well, I don't have to punish myself any further.
Matt: 24:04
No, you're going to be punishing yourself quite a bit here in the next couple of weeks, so yeah, yeah, back to school. Yeah.
Jamie: 24:15
But hey, you know get that.
Matt: 24:16
But I'm glad that we compared you know a basic, you know London dry a tangare to something that we've never had before, because everyone and their mothers probably had tangare now they call this an american gin.
Jamie: 24:29
What's the difference between an american gin.
August: 24:31
That's a. That's a great question and I asked it once before and I don't remember the answer and the google's going to tell me um gin, uh changed, it was very much a british thing yeah uh, especially in india. But quinine, they used to drink it differently. That's kind of like the quinine which is the malaria medicine that they took, which became tonic later on. We know it's tonic, okay, um, I'm stuck on my.
Jamie: 24:56
My uh google page is stuck on celebrity stuff so let me see uh uh, the most obvious way american gin differs from lond London dry gin is that it's made in America. No, I'm kidding, no.
August: 25:08
I'm kidding. That's the best we can do.
Jamie: 25:10
That was my Deadpool response to that. They're different styles.
Matt: 25:17
So we'll go back. But I actually because the new Deadpool movie August was explaining it and kind of helping us to understand how bonkers it is. Yeah, but there's a lot of cameos in Deadpool Wolverine, deadpool movie August was explaining it and kind of helping us to understand how bonkers it is. There's a lot of cameos in Deadpool Wolverine. A lot of cameos. I'm dying to see it. How many cameos has the Aviation Gin made in movies that Ryan Reynolds has been a part of?
August: 25:45
Oh.
Jamie: 25:45
I don't know. It depends on how many movies he's been a part of.
August: 25:47
Oh, I don't know Well it depends on how many movies has been a part of since he launched it, and it's going to be exactly that many Well, not counting every episode of Rexham, where someone's probably got a bottle in their locker room or something.
Matt: 25:55
Oh, yeah, but I will say free guy, it was featured, it was. There was a cameo in the movie free guy. There was red notice, um, and then also in um, oh, what was the other movie that that he did?
August: 26:13
uh, shoot, trying to off the top of my head sorry I only had the things in your pocket that told you yeah, if there was only a machine, that only there was a machine.
Matt: 26:21
You know, free guy, um, it was the, uh, it was the atom project. It was in that as well.
August: 26:27
Oh, I didn't see that one I did not see that one so juniper, yeah, it's the the.
Jamie: 26:33
The linchpin of the difference between the london dry and american gin is, uh. The london dry depends more on juniper. It's uh more more pinecone more with theoney.
August: 26:45
Americans got away from the pineconey. That was kind of one of the complaints. I taste 0.0% booze in this cocktail. Maybe that's because of the half of a lemon that's in it.
Jamie: 26:57
You didn't even squeeze both lemon halves. Did you squeeze them both?
Matt: 27:01
You only squeezed one, just one.
August: 27:03
Above the table.
Jamie: 27:05
It got in the glass a little bit some of it actually made it into the glass, some of it made it into the glass.
Matt: 27:12
Yes, it's a very sticky tabletop went down my arm very sticky tabletop.
August: 27:16
All right, so as a deadpool, as a cocktail, this is definitely a uh, you know, a baby shower cocktail. Um, not incredibly impressed with it. I think you can do more with this. I think it's a nice enough tasting gin that it'd probably be great in just a martini. Yeah, you know, I think I could.
Jamie: 27:34
So the other thing, in the American, the American gin has to be 80 proof and in London it's only 75 proof.
August: 27:43
Wusses, yeah, yeah, that's why it took us to build them out of two wars Might as well drink tea. Might as well drink tea.
Jamie: 27:50
They have a pinky up the whole time. It's my favorite colony. I see somebody wearing an England shirt.
Matt: 27:58
I go.
Jamie: 27:59
England. I love that. It's my favorite colony. They don't like it when you say that no.
August: 28:05
Probably don't. Was there a second cocktail? I saw a. They don't like it. When you say that, no, no, probably don't, it is my favorite. Was there a second cocktail? I saw a box of strawberries coming in, which is not encouraging. There was.
Jamie: 28:13
I can tell you what was in it.
August: 28:14
Yeah, let's do that.
Jamie: 28:15
And then so it's lime juice. This time around it's lime juice. All right, one ounce of lime juice.
August: 28:22
That's a lot. How many times have we done these cocktails with a ton of straight?
Jamie: 28:28
citrus juice Juicy, juicy, juicy juice.
August: 28:29
We've been doing quite a few.
Jamie: 28:30
And I was looking at that and I was like man, we have to tone that down. But it was an ounce of lime juice, two ounces of the gin. Give it a stir, Top it off. It's a gimlet, top it off with a tonic and then pureed strawberries that would kind of wash through. That's the red, that's the red.
August: 28:49
It's for the red, it's for the red. It looks like brains. Yeah, yeah, pureed. Did you start pureeing pre-pureeing the strawberries there, matt Fox?
Matt: 28:58
No, I did not. If you want me to chew them up and put them out, I will. I was like.
Jamie: 29:03
I don't feel like muddling a bunch of strawberries. I'm being lazy.
August: 29:07
It wasn't for you meddling kids.
Jamie: 29:10
Muddling, meddling, meddling. I would have gotten away for that too.
August: 29:15
Really they all talk like James Cagney.
Jamie: 29:20
All the bad guys in Scooby-Doo talk like James Cagney Wow.
August: 29:22
I see Cop-a man. I'm enjoying this, this little beverage that talks like James Gaggin Wow, I say cop off, man, that's a.
Matt: 29:27
I'm enjoying this little beverage. That's fine.
August: 29:29
All right, one more number for celebrity cocktails, celebrity brands.
Jamie: 29:34
What's the? What's the highest? We can go 63, I believe 69. I want to say 69 regardless. So I just said it's a Deadpool. I gotta, you gotta, bring out the 12 year old jokes all right, so what is the? Bottom of the barrel. What is 63? Uh, made the list and yet yeah, that's a great question made the list and yet dead last well, I don't know.
August: 29:59
I mean I don't think you could add a worst uh review than uh, david beckham, scotch, tasting like the cologne junior high kids spray themselves full of.
Matt: 30:09
If that was what in the 30s, I'm really curious what 63 is going to say.
August: 30:13
All right, yeah, oh, I'm so guilty of drinking that one that sucks 63. It's going to be.
Jamie: 30:19
Wanda.
Matt: 30:20
Sykes.
Jamie: 30:21
What isn't 63 is Ron Jeremy rum. Get the runs with Ron Jeremy. He comes with a side of hedgehog.
August: 30:36
The hedgehog is currently behind bars about to stand trial for over 35 charges, including rape, and yet his mediocre rum can still be found on shelves. That about sums up celebrity spirits of 2021. Wow, so we probably have four more years, three more years of this crap for a more updated list.
Jamie: 30:52
Yeah, where does proper?
August: 30:56
12 fall in the parade. I think that's too new. I think that's probably 2020, 2023.

Okay, conor mcgregor's I enjoyed it, matt I thought it was fine, matt, begrudgingly well, you know what I think the reason we liked it is it had more flavor than the truda style scotchy scott irish whiskeys. It had more it than the true to style Scotch you Scott Irish whiskeys. It had more. It was more full flavored, which is not necessarily what Irish whiskeys are. So you know it is what we have.
