Oh yeah, welcome to Good Mythical More. What do we know about bartenders? Or what do we know that bartenders know? Let’s find out. But first, let’s take a new Selfie Face, this one is, “Have been stuck inside a movie theater since March 2020.” Oh, you were ready for that, you like made the face and you were like, and then you were like. Which is actually how we feel right now. Yeah, it was easy to embody that. Oh, we got olives. Don’t, don’t eat that yet, you have to earn it. You have to earn it. I’m just smelling it. All right, so this bartender quiz. Guys, sitting in front of a laptop, like looking at words right now. Ya. Is not the vibe, I’m not into it because I have the bartenders questions for you and I have multiple choice for you, but like I feel like I’m also talking at a slower cadence than I typically do. You are, you know those people, there’s some people who get drunk and they just, they can’t open their eyes and they’re like this. Yeah. That’s what I feel like right now. I am sleepy. Guys, I’m still here. It makes you drowsy, it says it on the cans, you know? As long as it doesn’t give me a hangover, I’m cool with it. We’ll see. So, I’m gonna ask you a question about making cocktails and you are going to answer it, and if you get it wrong, Link, those lovely things in front of you, you’ll have to eat one of those. Rhett, you like olives so. Well, here’s the deal, if I get it right, I eat an olive. Okay, so it’s a prize for you, punishment for Link. If Link gets it wrong, I may eat an olive in tribute. I don’t think I can eat an olive after drinking all that pickle juice. I think I need it after all that pickle juice. I think I will varmint. Varmint? I think I’ll varmint right all over this place. Um, okay. Here is your first question, for at least how many years must Irish Whisky be wood aged? A, three years. B, seven years. Or C, 10 years? And this is at least? In order to be classified as Irish Whisky? Man, are you doing a 321 on this or what are we doing? Seven? Three years, seven years, 10 years? I mean wow that’s quite an investment, you know? That’s kinda like planting trees. How long does it take to grow a lumber, a lumber-able tree? That’s what you’re thinking about? They can reuse the same barrels, man. No, I’m just saying it’s the same mentality. I’m saying three years, I think it might be seven, but I’m saying three because I feel like as a part Irish person- Part Irish. We’d be waiting like- Two is not an answer. Oh, the answer is A, three years. Yes. All right. You were wrong. Oh man, I can’t believe you don’t like the taste of this, so good. I mean, you’re telling me- Those are good olives. When I eat a really good cheeseburger and I’m like, “Man, that tastes so good!” This might be better than that. You have that experience when you eat an olive? I would like an olive as well. It’s so good! Those are good olives, does this man not love olives? Yeah I wanna try an olive. I have to stay here. You can have one if you want one. Stevie, tell me that’s not a good olive. I really can’t understand- I feel like I was primed for olive-eating by that stuff. Like I mean- That’s a good olive. Yeah it’s so good, isn’t it? My head kinda hurts. Have an olive. No, I feel like- I feel like the olive woke me up- I felt, does you head hurt any? No, my jaw feels warm. Yeah, well for me it becomes like a clenchy thing, like my mouth is watering more and my jaw is clenching more, and um okay. Which of these ingredients is not in a Negroni? Vermouth- A groni? Negroni. A groni? It’s a drink just for grownups. A Negroni? Vermouth, Vodka or Gin? Okay, I’ma ready. Oh, you want a 321? Man, I didn’t. Vermouth, Vodka, Gin, 321. Vodka. Gin. Vodka? I have no clue. Because a Negroni is one part Gin, one part Campari and one part sweet Vermouth. I mean, a Negroni is sort of like a little bit of a um, a little bit of a Martini, but something with a little bit different, right? Like what’s the middle part you said? Campari. Whatever Campari is. Campari sounds like calamari to me, you know what? I haven’t found a cocktail that I like, not even one. Really? I just, yeah I know, I know you guys are both into cocktails and whenever we would go out, you would like try to get me to drink a cocktail and that’s like what’s the smokey one? Mezcal. Mezcal? Ugh, we went to that Mezcal place, where were we? Austin, I think is the one you’re talking about. I think we were in Austin and we went to the Mezcal bar, and all they had was Mezcal, I did not like it. Have you had a Mezcal Sour? Yes. I had one of those recently and I just gotta say, that’s the peak of living. It tastes like someone pissed on a campfire. I get a Spicy Mezcal Sour. Ugh, no you don’t! Yeah, yeah. Oh, I didn’t even think about that. I just don’t, because cocktails, they’re always, I think they’re so pungent, they’re either really sweet or really something else and I don’t like alcohol. I love going to a good restaurant and ordering one of their signature cocktails, I like having the bartender, so if Mezcal is in a signature cocktail, I’ll get it every time. See, I’ll get a glass of wine, I like wine. Yeah but see- Red wine. I like wine as well- But I don’t like cocktails at all, it’s a totally different thing. It’s such an adventure, it’s like, “What are they gonna do? Are they gonna bring this thing out with like some sort of glass cloche over it that’s got smoke around it? Are they gonna give me a big old cubed piece of ice? Or is it gonna be a sphere of ice? And is it gonna have a little piece of rosemary sticking out of it?” You never know! Like wine is like, “Mm, okay yeah we know what that’s gonna be.” And it’s wonderful, and I love it, and I’ll get it when the meal comes, but start out with a cocktail, everything’s right. Come out with me. I mean, I’ll drink an Old Fashioned, but I don’t like it. Our friend Mike old science Mike can make a, he makes a mean Old Fashioned, he has a special ice cube maker and he’s like a chemist. Yeah, I don’t hate it, but I just don’t enjoy it, I don’t know, to me it’s related to the same reason I don’t like candy. Okay, please explain. Like candy is very sweet and I don’t like that. I’m not a huge fan of candy, I don’t ever think, “Man, tonight is a candy night.” that never happens. I don’t like a sweet cocktail, I’m not into sweet cocktails. Yeah we like smokey, spicy. Yeah, you have to find the right cocktail, but I’ll do like a super Dirty Martini at an Italian or steak place, like that’s delicious. But like, I love a dry-rub rib, you know there are things that I love, it’s not like I’m incapable- I do like things! I’m not incapable of love. But here’s the thing about the cocktails as well is that if you have- I don’t get it. If you hadn’t eaten anything and you get to the restaurant, and then the cocktail comes first, and you kinda hit it kinda hard. Yeah? It just, it gives you that like, you kinda like, “Okay.” It gives you that sun chase. It’s nice, it’s a nice feeling. I get that. Yeah, okay. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a thing I need to try? I don’t. You have tried everything, I’ve never heard that you didn’t like the things that you were drinking when you were out. I do like beer. If you like beer- But I prefer wine- I feel like you could find a cocktail that you like. And you like a simple Gin & Tonic situation. No I don’t, not really. Well why do you always order that? I’ve been faking it. Hey, what about White Russian? I like a White Russian. That’s White Russian. Remember like one of our first holiday parties was just like five of us at your house? Don’t you remember that? And you had White Russians as you walked in the door. Yeah, we hired that special cook. Yeah, but not for the White Russian part. We had a Christmas party at my house- At your house. And that was like, it was like you and Ben, and Jason, and your significant others, and maybe Jen? No, I don’t think so, I don’t recall- And that was it, and we hired someone to come to the house, and make food, and it was really nice, and we had White Russians apparently. That food was good. I like a White Russian because it’s like, it’s creamy- It’s like a dessert cocktail though, you can’t like order multiple, I mean you could I guess. Oh, you can. But like if we went out to dinner together and you ordered a White Russian, that would be weird. Yeah, I haven’t done that. Yeah. What is Mead’s main ingredient? Oh, I think I know the answer, honey. Yeah, you right. Meadery. A Sex on the Beach contains, now if you ordered a Sex on the Beach if we went out together, that would be funny. I’m gonna need the multiple choices, I think I’m gonna be able to get it with the multiple choices. Okay. I’ve never had this, but I have had it, you know what I’m saying? You gotta make sure you got a blanket. Oh, I didn’t get- Gin, orange juice, pineapple juice, Grenadine. Rum, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, orange juice. Vodka, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, orange juice. So Gin, Rum or Vodka? Rum. Ah man, I think that it’s Vodka. Link? Rum. Vodka. Oh. Man, just more olives for me. Sex on the Beach. That’s so many juices, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, orange juice, that’s a hangover- Yeah, you need a, I mean I’d recommend like not only a blanket, but also like wet wipes, like you need wet wipes, this Quarter’s Mythical Society Collectable has big hair, silver lips and not one, but two mustaches. It is the Rhett & Link’s Sing Brooks & Dunn in the Year 3000 vinyl, shoo.

How many types of liquor are in a Long Island iced tea? Oh, I know there’s a lot in this. I’m gonna say five. I’m gonna say it’s more than four, it’s probably less than six, but I’m gonna say six. Okay, your options are four, six or ten. What? Six. 10, is there any drink that’s got 10 liquors in it? I mean what was that, remember when we were in New Orleans and we had that Hurricane thing? I don’t know what’s in that. There’s just a bunch of sugar and ice in that stuff, and then what? Some sort of liquor just to- Rum, it’s gotta be Rum in it. All right, I say six. You both say six? Yeah. It’s four. Oh, it’s only four? Only four, huh? Yeah, Vodka, Rum, Tequila, Gin and then Triple sec, simple syrup, lemon juice. Oh yeah, the rest of it’s non-alcoholic. Ew. If you wanna get like a high alcohol content from a mixed drink, you can’t do any better than a Long Island iced tea, right? Well, you can do something to taste better than that, I think a Martini is almost essentially the same ratio, yeah but it just taste better I think. Oh, okay. Okay, this one I did not, I’ve never head of. I’m sorry, but how does a Martini, what makes it oily? Olives. It’s so gross, there’s olive juice in it? It depends on how you order, if you order it with twist- Is it olive oil or olive juice? If you order it dirty, it’s just olive juice. There’s olive offings that make it juicy. It’s so bad, I mean ugh. What does the term Doggy Style mean for a drink? Have you ever heard of this? Yeah, it’s when they put it in a bowl. I want it Doggy Style. I’m gonna get on all fours and drink this from the floor. There’s no way people actually would say this. No, no, no, it’s whenever the bartender gives you the drink, you walk around and you drink it from the other side. Right, yeah. All on your knees. Add sugar to the rim of the glass, add salt to the rim of the glass, add an orange peel to the glass. You know what? This is like the kinda thing that gets on the internet, it’s not true. I mean, I’m not gonna take the risk and ask him for it Doggy Style. Oh, you mean salt and sugar, and an orange on the rim? Okay. That’s not gonna happen, they’re gonna be offended. Yeah. Oh, you’re not even gonna, you’re not gonna even guess what it supposedly means? Oh, it’s all those things? It’s one of those things? It’s one of these things. Oh, I thought you were describing it. Sugar, salt or an orange peel? Oh, sugar on the rim. Uh, none of them have anything to do with dogs. Dogs love sugar on the rim. You ever put sugar on the rim of a drink? A dog would go after it, you put salt on there, it’s kinda like, “Ugh, I’m not a cow.” I’m gonna go with the orange slice. I’ll have one cow style. Uh, it’s salt, which is just a total lie, like no one’s like- Salt on the rim? Would you like that Doggy Style, Miss? I think it’s actually easier to say salt on the rim than it is to say Doggy Style. Southern Comfort is primarily flavored with which fruit? You remember the first time you had Southern Comfort? Have you ever had Southern Comfort? You have. Yes, but I can’t really remember much about it. Really? Because it burns so bad. I’m gonna go with the tea fruit, is it tea? The tea fruit? Tea. What is the tea fruit? Tea, I like iced tea. It’s not a fruit at all, it’s just tea, there’s tea in a Southern Comfort. Yeah, the fruit of tea. The leaf part of tea, which is not fruit. Tea is leaf. Yeah, tea is leaf, leaf is not a fruit. Right, but there is a fruit on a tea bush. They’re called the fruit of the tea. Right and that’s what they make Southern Comfort- Tea berries. Tea berries. Yeah, tea berries, we’re both going with tea berries. Close, but it’s peaches. Yeah, peaches. Peaches? I’m gonna eat an olive, this is you know outside of the game, just for my own. I mean, how many pickle shots did you take man? Like I don’t know, 10? I don’t know. I mean seriously, did you have 10? At least eight. Oh my gosh, how do you feel? I feel bad for you, but I feel bad for me. How many did you have? It doesn’t matter, just enough to make me feel sick, sick. Okay, last one. At this bar, which is also the bar that you order a Doggy Style drink at, what’s the stronger version of the Fuzzy Navel called? Hairy Navel, Nasty Navel or Outie Navel? Hairy Navel. Hairy Navel, it’s gotta be. Yeah. And what’s a Fuzzy Navel? I thought a Fuzzy Navel was a Bartles & Jaymes flavor. It’s Peach Schnapps and OJ. You mean Schnapps? You can say Schnapps or Schnapps. Yeah, I said a Schnapps, it’s because I’m the drink, oh I guess if you order it Hairy style, you add Vodka to it. Hairy style. Hairy style. Have you had those green, the green tea, Green Tea Shots? No. It’s like, well you’ve had ’em, we recently were hanging out with somebody who was eating ’em, was drinking ’em and they were green tea, and what was it? You just mentioned something, that’s what gave me the, Peach Schnapps, it’s got Peach Schnapps, green tea and something else in it, and it’s like drinking Kool-Aid- What was it called? It’s called a Green Tea Shot and because it’s got caffeine in it from the green tea, it’s sorta like a Red Bull Vodka, but not as strong- Oh, that’s what I was doing all night. I’m getting intoxicated, yeah right. I don’t know how many of those I had, but they kept coming and I was like, “Man, I’m kinda drunk, but I’m wired!” Yeah, Green Tea Shots, you should look into that, it’s got the Schnapps in it. Schnapps. Schnapps. It’s got the Schnapps. To get our Brooks & Dunn vinyl, join 3rd Degree Quarterly or Annual by June 30th, mythicalsociety.com for details.
