Picture this: You’re sitting back in the Man Cave Lounge, a glass of our signature "Biting Kneecaps" or "Blue Grit" cocktail in hand, as we toast to the Detroit Lions’ fantastic season. We’re Jamie, Matt, and August, your hosts for an hour of spirited fun that takes you from the nostalgia of returning pop bottles to the art of crafting delicious cocktails. With no guests, it’s just us, our stories, and a few laughs as we share everything from childhood memories at the Town Club factory to the quirks of social media algorithms.
Ever wondered what it’s like to chat with a football legend over barbecue? We look forward to meeting Billy Sims at his fan appreciation day, though one of us might be caught soaking in the melodies of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra instead. Our plans for a 50th birthday bash channel the humor and flair of Saturday Night Live, complete with costumes, contests, and a bourbon cocktail that’s as smooth as it is bold. There’s chatter, there’s laughter, and there’s a hint of blue Curacao-induced mischief as we concoct drinks for our gathering.
Who knew a cocktail could spark conversations about fatherhood and gender reveals? Our latest mixology adventure—dubbed "Biting Kneecaps" (an adaptation of "Blue Motherfucker")—leads to playful debates on liquor preferences while sparking the idea of colored cocktails for revealing a baby’s gender. With guests like Dave and Matt Fox alongside Jamie Flanagan, we wrap up with camaraderie, a dash of open mic antics, and a nod to the humble Ovaltine. Responsible drinking is key, but so is a good story, and we’ve got plenty to share.

Jamie Flanagan: 0:16
We're gonna drink a fine whiskey and smoke a really fine cigar. It is time for Happy Hour. It is the man Cave Happy Hour Whiskey, cigars, spirits, the stories that go along with it. I am Jamie Flanagan.
August Gitshlag: 0:34
Hello, I am Matt Fox. Well, you got there just in time. I'm.
Jamie Flanagan: 0:36
August Gitschleig and we are in the man Cave Lounge of the Palatial Podcast your Voice Studios. We move over to the lounge when we want to mix up some cocktails.
August Gitshlag: 0:47
And don't have a guest specifically. Anyone we have to, you know, stare across the table to look in their eyes and get honest answers out of you know, put it in the lights.
Jamie Flanagan: 0:54
We're just putting ourselves in the light.
Matt Fox: 0:57
So I feel so jealous right now.
Jamie Flanagan: 1:00
Why? Because we have cocktails, you know.
Matt Fox: 1:01
Right, well, I was. I was a late guy, so that's all good, that's on me.
Jamie Flanagan: 1:05
Don't be blue Matt.
August Gitshlag: 1:10
Let the cocktails be blue. You got that in sooner than you thought you were going to work that cheese in there, didn't you?
Jamie Flanagan: 1:14
So I'm sporting my Detroit Lions Hamtramck Susie's Bar shirt Love this. I stopped off at the Elks before here and people were like, oh my God, that's so cool, where'd you get it?
August Gitshlag: 1:27
They see that shirt and this hat at the Elks, on every, just about every.
Jamie Flanagan: 1:30
Sunday for the Lions games.
August Gitshlag: 1:31
I'm wearing it.
Jamie Flanagan: 1:33
But yeah, so it's. The Lions have had just a magnificent season again. We did some blue cocktails last year with Duke and Dame. Yeah, but this year they're doing even better and we have even better cocktails. Well, we'll be the judge of that.
Jamie Flanagan: 1:49
We'll be the judge of your recipes here we will, and I kind of filtered through and looking for blue and like in my Facebook feed, because I'm pretty much a soccer mom, I have Facebook, so I get cocktail recipes, like all the time now, and then you click on one and then your algorithms and you get more and more.
August Gitshlag: 2:06
Really, I just get women jogging saying are these too big?
Matt Fox: 2:10
Their pants.
Jamie Flanagan: 2:11
Yeah, okay, yeah, it's all within my algorithms anymore, but I've been saving those, because there's a lot of really cool old-fashioned and I want to do we're going to do like an old-fashioned show where we do like a bunch of variations on old-fashioned, variations on old-fashioned.
August Gitshlag: 2:23
I had like two or three, just because Everybody's got one now yeah.
Jamie Flanagan: 2:25
There were some fun ones, and then I started seeing some blue cocktails and they're very Christmassy and they're all very holiday-themed.
August Gitshlag: 2:32
Well, I did look at your collection here and nothing says blue, raspberry or bomb pop and I was really worried that anything blue would have to have blue raspberry or bomb pop. It has the requisite blue carousel Right right, which we pronounce properly because we watch the Little League World Series games Caraco, caraco, caraco Carousel is a principality of the Netherlands. A lot of Major League Baseball players come from there, but anyway I digress.
Jamie Flanagan: 2:55
So I did pick up a bottle of Town Club made here in Detroit, honolulu Blue Cream Soda. I think this might change the thing, the flavor.
August Gitshlag: 3:03
Nothing screams Christmas to me like Town Club. And that's actually what we did as kids. It was a big deal when me and my brother got to go to the Town Club factory and pick out our cases of pop. What flavors Pop we're from Detroit, flavors of pop, you know, and all the different flavors and how many of this, how many of that, and try to predict what my cousins were going to want.
Jamie Flanagan: 3:23
That was a holiday tradition for us and it was fun because then you save the bottles and you return them. Now, returnables are a colossal pain in the butt, but the town club did returnables before.
Matt Fox: 3:33
Tell me more about the pain in the butt of returning things. Tell me more about that.
Jamie Flanagan: 3:38
And you used to get free light bulbs. What Light bulbs were free? You would take your burnt out light bulbs, you would go down to Edison and they would give you new light bulbs. You turn into your old ones. They give you new ones. James, we were old.
August Gitshlag: 3:48
Yeah, I thought I was telling stories of old stuff when I'm turning 50 this week.
Jamie Flanagan: 3:53
We used to get free stuff all the time when I was a kid. I mean free light bulbs.
August Gitshlag: 4:00
Yeah, and then the town club. I don't know nothing but free light bulbs. Yeah so, but that was a lot of fun.
Jamie Flanagan: 4:08
It was a good day. Sorry I'm coming to grips with my mortality these days. Microphone I was just kind of all right so. But I have two cocktails, lions themes. I renamed these. Okay, one, god, there's one. It had just a great name to it, but I called it biting kneecaps. All right, so the biting kneecaps. And then we have blue grit on the rocks cocktails.
Jamie Flanagan: 4:26
Yes, bust up some more ice then okay, so on the rocks cocktails, both of these. Uh, do we want to go with the one with it's basically a long island iced tea. It really it's like a blue long island you want to say that one for seconds, biting kneecaps, and then, uh, blue grit.
Jamie Flanagan: 4:41
it can be made with either gin or bourbon. I pulled out the bourbon because I promised you a bourbon cocktail today, so I figured we could start with the blue grit. All right, and the blue grit gets the rimming, so you can't add the ice.
August Gitshlag: 4:56
Talk amongst yourselves while I finger bang your ice cube.
Jamie Flanagan: 4:59
Well, you got to. Don't put it, because we got to rim Right, right it needs a rim. It needs a rim job before you put the ice on the floor. So, matt, you're good at rim jobs. Yes, if you say so you tell me, am I? The lemons are prepped for the rimming so yeah, just give one of your lemons a swirl around your glass and this one's ready for a swirl, so this is called a rim job.
Matt Fox: 5:24
There's one. Look at that. That is a perfect rim job, right there.
Jamie Flanagan: 5:31
That's it, that's cool.
Matt Fox: 5:33
Look at that rim job, Jamie.
Jamie Flanagan: 5:35
That's it, that's good.
August Gitshlag: 5:37
Have you been to prison?
Jamie Flanagan: 5:38
No, that's good, we're good. It's just the first cocktail that gets the glittery rim on it. It's a blue glitter too. That's good, we're good, cause it's just the first cocktail that gets the glittery rim on it.
Matt Fox: 5:45
It's a blue glitter too.
Jamie Flanagan: 5:47
It's silver yeah.
Matt Fox: 5:49
It's supposed to be silver.
Jamie Flanagan: 5:50
How many do we have?
August Gitshlag: 5:50
Four, I have enough glassware from our glassware sponsor, Firebird Tavern. Yeah. I might see those guys tonight.
Matt Fox: 5:58
Tonight's the McGee's yeah.
Jamie Flanagan: 5:59
It's so. We got one, two, three. That makes four. There you go.
Matt Fox: 6:02
Rim job.
Jamie Flanagan: 6:03
We'll pair up a couple more rocks glasses when we go to do the next one. So this is blue grit and that's why I did the granule sugar on the rim right, so you have the grittiness of the actual sugar in there. Two ounces of gin or bourbon. We're going with the bourbon, okay.
August Gitshlag: 6:19
Yeah, buffalo Trace.
Jamie Flanagan: 6:21
And I pulled out the Finger. Bang all your ice cubes. Sure, that's fine. Finger bang away. And then I once had a bottle this big. This is ginormous.
Matt Fox: 6:29
That's a big bottle of Buffalo Trace.
Jamie Flanagan: 6:31
I got the leader I was like, oh look, it's on sale. I did the math $29.95. It was Two for $50. It's a better value. Yeah, so there's a lot of there, but there's a lot of beverages out there with the lions logos on it.
August Gitshlag: 6:49
Right now, everything, everything has the lions logo on it so last year they had the tequila.
Jamie Flanagan: 6:53
There's a new label this year, but the 1800 tequila. This was a bottle from last year still that we haven't cracked yet. Uh, we still haven't dove into the 1800, but it's fun because it's got the little Lions logo on it. The Crown Royal had the bag this year. Did anybody get a Crown Royal Lions bag? I did not, did you? I missed, we got one from my dad.
August Gitshlag: 7:15
Perfect, so this was definitely not the best ice job we could have done. You know, it is what it is.
Jamie Flanagan: 7:21
All right. So it's two ounces of bourbon for each cocktail.
August Gitshlag: 7:27
So they're making four.
Matt Fox: 7:29
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, making four. No math, just word poor.
August Gitshlag: 7:33
Just eight, so we're going to need two, four, six, eight of them.
Matt Fox: 7:37
Yeah.
Jamie Flanagan: 7:37
Yeah, that's a healthy amount of bourbon.
Matt Fox: 7:42
We can make it a half order no, because we're doing two. So, jamie, what are you going to be doing over the holiday season, because this is your last week of school.
Jamie Flanagan: 7:52
Yeah.
Matt Fox: 7:52
And then you're on holiday break until the 6th of January. I am.
Jamie Flanagan: 7:56
Another reason we're doing the Lions cocktails is because coming up on Friday, friday, friday, we get to, we get to, we're a little heavy, we're a little heavy kids.
Jamie Flanagan: 8:05
We get to, that's okay. We get to talk to Billy Sims. Billy Sims, yeah, number 20. The first, number 20. Right, 21-y, the OG, number 20. You're going to be on site. Billy Sims has a chain of barbecue restaurants, barbecue restaurants and he's doing a fan appreciation day at the location in troy here in michigan on friday the 20th and the 21st. So he'll be there, oh, he's gonna be.
Jamie Flanagan: 8:30
He's gonna be signing autographs from five to seven on friday and then again another time on saturday. If you look at the man cave or the podcast, your voice feed, you'll see those times. Uh, and he's signing up to two things per person. Wow, he's selling footballs and jerseys that he'll sign you don't have to buy something from him he'll. If you bring something in, he'll just sign it. If you bring your toddler in, he's like, hey, I'm gonna get this kid tattooed, sign him please two ounces of lime juice here all right, there we are he's maxing out this shaker boy oh wow, uh, you had a pretty heavy brick of ice in there.
August Gitshlag: 9:02
yeah, brick of ice in there. It is that brick of ice in there we're going to bust that up.
Jamie Flanagan: 9:05
But yeah, so we're going to talk to Billy Sims, which will be nice. We're going to talk to him about his barbecue, his recipe, how he came up with his recipe, where does he source his meat, and then how do they prepare the meat, and then Mrs Vino will be with us.
Jamie Flanagan: 9:19
Kristen might show up and we may try to sneak a bottle of wine into the restaurant we're going to see. So, yeah, and some of the other, cause there's a radio Cobra Detroit thing as well, and so we may, we may, slip in a little radio Cobra business as well, that's going to be fun. So, yeah, so that'll, that'll be pretty neat, and then the rest of Christmas is just going to be family. I'm staying close to home, home, sticking around with family. Sorry, buddy.
August Gitshlag: 9:45
I won't be there with Billy Sims because I'll be at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra watching the Muppets Christmas Carol with the full orchestra playing along. Last night I was at the symphony for your holiday special. It was amazing.
Jamie Flanagan: 9:55
I need to float. I'm a cultured son of a bitch. I'll be at work.
Matt Fox: 10:00
Look at that that is a pretty looking glass. So then again this weekend. There's something else happening this weekend, august, you are having the biggest bash of your life this weekend, oh yeah.
August Gitshlag: 10:17
One of them, one of the biggest bashes of my life.
Matt Fox: 10:19
Yeah.
August Gitshlag: 10:19
I'm sure I've thrown some.
Matt Fox: 10:21
You only turn 45 once.
August Gitshlag: 10:23
I'm not turning 45.
Matt Fox: 10:24
All right, I know, but I'm just trying to be nice over here. But Jamie's going to be DJing, you're going to be. Yes, where are we going to be at?
August Gitshlag: 10:31
We're going to be at the Eastern Palace Club on Saturday. Yeah, 50th birthday. I know you can't believe that this is 50.
Jamie Flanagan: 10:39
No, how does that even happen?
August Gitshlag: 10:40
My lack of maturity and responsibility and success in life. What else is turning 50 this year?
Matt Fox: 10:47
What else is turning 50 this year?
August Gitshlag: 10:48
Saturday Night Live it's a Saturday Night Live themed party. I have two Saturday Night Live costumes myself. There is a costume contest, there are prizes, there are SNL themed prizes. We went to New York, to Radio City Music Hall and scoped out some prizes and got some stuff. There's some investments here. The place isn't closed down, but it's a private party, if you know what I mean. We're looking forward to celebrating with you sir.
Matt Fox: 11:14
Can we guess what your costumes are?
August Gitshlag: 11:16
No, because my girlfriend doesn't know and she's probably listening to this.
Matt Fox: 11:18
Yeah, that's a no, because my girlfriend doesn't know and she's probably listening to this.
Jamie Flanagan: 11:21
Is it a Mary Catherine Gallagher outfit?
August Gitshlag: 11:23
There's just a few of those. People have been tearing about that a lot. I'll tell you one of them. I do have my Schmitz gay beer outfit from the Schmitz gay skit. My later in the evening one was shorts and a t-shirt and a Hawaiian shirt and flip glasses.
Jamie Flanagan: 11:37
I got the dick in a box, going with a, going with a you know the 90s, it's a suit.
August Gitshlag: 11:44
Now it's.
Jamie Flanagan: 11:45
Christmas it's a turtleneck Open wide, yeah, alright, so this is biting kneecaps right, I thought this was a grit.
Matt Fox: 11:54
I'm sorry, this is blue grit buddy.
August Gitshlag: 11:56
Blue grit Cheers fellas I know it's a darker, bourbon-based blue, right yeah.
Matt Fox: 12:03
I think it would be lighter if it was gin Mm-hmm.
Jamie Flanagan: 12:08
And it's gritty because it's got the sugar. I like the grit, blue, grit, yep.
August Gitshlag: 12:11
There's grit because of the sugar. I don't mind the sugar at all. Usually I don't care for that on a I usually do a salt rim. This is one of the few times we put a shit ton of lemon juice in there and it didn't ruin the cocktail.
Matt Fox: 12:21
No, it's not. That means you did the perfect amount.
Jamie Flanagan: 12:24
I actually the recipe original. One called for more.
August Gitshlag: 12:28
Yeah, called for like a full ounce. I think we've learned our lesson when it comes to pure citrusing our stuff.
Jamie Flanagan: 12:33
I pared it down to a half in the one that I punched up there. Okay, I like that gritty. Yeah, I'm not gonna give that to my uh on your drink?
August Gitshlag: 12:44
I'm not. We're all gonna have blue lips. Yeah, blue lips. I'm not gonna give this one my uh, my ultimate dismissal, saying that it could be.
Jamie Flanagan: 12:49
It's better served at a uh baby shower or a wedding shower, because I usually say I think it drinks that are purple or pink or blue or something like that.
August Gitshlag: 12:56
These are, uh, they're okay. I would make this at the bar and serve to someone and not be uh feel like I was, you know I might, I might dial, I might dial the, the lemon down a tad and the blue sure I would almost use carousel.
Jamie Flanagan: 13:09
It's like yeah um down a little bit too but you got to get.
August Gitshlag: 13:13
You got to have enough to make it blue. I guess that's what we're shooting for right, but it's plenty blue. Yeah, I mean otherwise otherwise you're just drinking bourbon and lemon juice, right? I mean, come on, it's all it's plenty blue yeah. I mean otherwise, otherwise you're just drinking bourbon and lemon juice, right? I mean, come on, it's all it is.
Jamie Flanagan: 13:23
A lot of these recipes that I've been finding coming across. My thing they're just, they're just, it's an old fashioned.
Matt Fox: 13:28
Yeah, this is just a little, oh, and you floated a marshmallow in it.
Jamie Flanagan: 13:38
It's like it's like a of bacon in it, so I'm like looking forward to doing that. Give me a reason to make bacon.
Matt Fox: 13:44
It's actually not that. I would almost want to go in for a second once I finish this one, but we do have a second to do. Yeah.
Jamie Flanagan: 13:52
I got another shaker.
August Gitshlag: 13:54
I'm going to need another shaker anyway. Another shaker, shaker two, unprepared, I don't care what your mama said.
Matt Fox: 14:01
Christmas time is here. Come on, Horatio Sands man. Yeah, I remember that.
August Gitshlag: 14:08

Matt Fox: 14:11
Well, yeah, it was Chris Kattan.
August Gitshlag: 14:13
Well, it's crazy, kermit. You got that Kermit going on in the background.
Jamie Flanagan: 14:17
So this is actually from Lily's in Hamtramck. Oh, background, so this is actually from Lily's in Hamtramck. Oh, wow, okay, this was my sister's and Alan had given it to my sister. Sister begat it to me.
Matt Fox: 14:27
And so this is.
Jamie Flanagan: 14:28
This is seen. I'm wearing the appropriate Hamtramck shirt. Yes, and this begats many a volume, which was a drink that Alan would make the volume, this thing. There it is. You're handing me glasses All right, there it is, there's a glass.
Matt Fox: 14:49
We need two more oh there's two more here. One, two.
Jamie Flanagan: 14:54
Uno dos, uno dos.
Matt Fox: 14:58
Is that it? We need one more.
Jamie Flanagan: 14:59
No, I think that's it. I think that's all we got.
Matt Fox: 15:01
Oh, yep, you're good, very nice.
Jamie Flanagan: 15:03
One, two Got the Mackinac glasses, some more from our Glassware sponsor, matt. What's your plans for the holiday season?
Matt Fox: 15:12
Well, funny, you should ask.
Jamie Flanagan: 15:15
Because you're not going to be in town for the last two decades.
Matt Fox: 15:17
Yeah, it was funny. But no, new Year's Eve we're going to upstate New York area or New York area, not downtown. I'm going to stay away from that. But we're going to go celebrate New Year's down there, oh nice. We're going to go out there with Holly and her father and mom and we're going to have a blast. We're celebrating her birthday as well. For her niece it's going to be great, cool, but Christmas-wise it's. This weekend we're actually doing all of our kiddos in one location because our kids got their own thing going on.
Jamie Flanagan: 15:46
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's divided. It's divided in Congress, so that party's on.
Matt Fox: 15:51
Sunday. So I got to be very I have to behave myself on Saturday, if you will.
Jamie Flanagan: 15:56
All right.
Matt Fox: 15:56
So we're going to start pouring these.
Jamie Flanagan: 15:58
We have the. What do you need? The shaker right. Yep, there it is so we have. This is really basically a Long Island. This is a lot of emptiness in here, the biting kneecaps, tequila, so vodka, all right, there's everything.
Matt Fox: 16:13
Yeah, a little bit of everything. That's Long Island.
Jamie Flanagan: 16:16
There's like fresh cracks too. Fresh crack on the rum, wow, fresh crack on the tequila you use.
Matt Fox: 16:23
Sky Vodka on this one.
Jamie Flanagan: 16:25
Well, it's in a blue bottle.
August Gitshlag: 16:26
Oh fair, you know I used to be a Sky Vodka drinker Hook line and sinker. It's been filtered so many times. It's more pure. Yeah, it doesn't cost as much as that Absolute. There you go, because Absolute's in the back of a Playboy magazine, so it costs more for no good reason. Yeah, I was one of those guys back in the day.
Jamie Flanagan: 16:42
Alright, so you have the four liquors. You need the blue Carousel.
Matt Fox: 16:48
Very nice. What else Lemons no?
August Gitshlag: 16:53
there's no lemons in it it calls for.
Matt Fox: 16:56
Oh, the Town Club.
Jamie Flanagan: 16:57
It calls for either, and I don't know if I want to put this in here because it might taint the taste. I think we just go for it right, without the blue town club, I think, because that's adding more sweetness, and I got it. Let's man this up a little bit. We're biting kneecaps. Let's man this bad boy up. It's the most manly blue cocktail ever. It is, whereas a Long Island. Once you do this, you would pour your boozes into it and then you would add the Coca-Cola over it to make it look like tea. That is some.
Jamie Flanagan: 17:29
Kool-Aid looking this has the carousel and it's like, yeah, this is like windshield washer, fluid looking stuff.
August Gitshlag: 17:34
There's nothing cutting this, guys. This is just booze on booze. Booze on booze on booze Booze on diabetes booze.
Matt Fox: 17:43
Booze on booze.
Jamie Flanagan: 17:44
Alright, so we took our charcoal pills, isn't it the?
August Gitshlag: 17:46
blue motherfucker. Isn't that what they call this in the bars? Yes, yeah, it's the blue motherfucker I was going to say that this has a pretty wicked name to it.
Jamie Flanagan: 17:56
You're playing kneecaps.
August Gitshlag: 18:00
Yeah, you're going to bruise your kneecaps if you drink this all night. Cheers, I'm telling you, you're going to scrape them up.
Matt Fox: 18:04
I got to slow down. Jesus, give me an eighth.
August Gitshlag: 18:07
Yeah, well, that's a kick in the dick. Yeah, let me go.
Jamie Flanagan: 18:14
That's just booze.
August Gitshlag: 18:15
Do we want?
Jamie Flanagan: 18:15
a little tonic in it or something. Well, get your blue pop out. Let's give it a run, let's try that. All right, we'll give it to your soda for our out-of-state listener Both of them.
Matt Fox: 18:24
Wow, the hairs on my neck just stopped.
August Gitshlag: 18:28
You're going to want to top it off, guys, and you could have used Sprite it's not going to take it way of the color. You could have used, sprite you could have used a 7-Up.
Jamie Flanagan: 18:35
That's actually what it calls for.
August Gitshlag: 18:37
More limon than the blue raspberry.
Jamie Flanagan: 18:39
Yeah, all right, give that a spin. Anybody need a stir.
Matt Fox: 18:43
I do, I use my finger.
Jamie Flanagan: 18:44
Did you finger bang your drink? Yeah, that's just boozy. I get the tequila.
August Gitshlag: 18:50
Oh yeah, right off the bat, my wine tasting slurp. Yeah, that's a little bit better with the pop.
Jamie Flanagan: 18:55
You can flatten the front out, but the back end is still the tequila.
August Gitshlag: 18:58
Still tequila boozy rummy.
Jamie Flanagan: 19:01
Tequila does dominate the rum.
August Gitshlag: 19:02
There's the same amount of each of those booze in there and definitely the tequila wins the battle.

Then the rum Bacardi rum. So I mean that's fair. A fine white wine like Mad Dog 2020. Thank you, robin Williams.
Jamie Flanagan: 19:28
It's not like we're pouring Zim's and Highclere Castle gin. Well, maybe that's what we needed.
August Gitshlag: 19:41
I'm going back to the knee. But when you're drinking, when you're drinking all booze cocktails like this, yeah, yeah, the better the booze, the better the cocktail. That's fair, because you've got nothing that's cutting it until we put that little bit of soda in there, the pop right, you know it's.
Jamie Flanagan: 19:46
So you taste dominating tequila unless I'm really looking to hurt myself.
August Gitshlag: 19:53
