1) I’m surprised neither the intern nor the guest had heard the term ‘shitcan.’ The guest gets a past, but come on intern, get your shit together or maybe you’ll be shitcanned.
2) I was relieved when Andy unironically described something as ‘dopest.’ That is at least as douchey as bevvy. That said, the word is forever banished from my vocab (using vocab is okay, right?)
3) Andy, Josh and Sam: Go Fuck Yourselves.
oh, believe me. I’ve HEARD the term “shitcan.” Just ask my boss at literally every job I’ve had prior to this one.
Josh knows that term. It’s very Boston
I thought maybe it was a hole in his vocab because of his upbringing in Barbados.
You guys covered egg cream drinks (something I have never heard of) on this episode, but you guys should also try Coke mixed with milk! I grew up drinking this combination with my dad. It sounds pretty unappetizing, but actually tastes like a coke float! I’m sure it would be delicious with Root Beer as well!
This sounds terrible, but I’ll allow it.
We tried Coke and Bailey’s once and it was really good, again, kind of like a coke float.
Laverne and Shirley loved milk and Pepsi
For my grad party, I drank Paralyzers, which is Kahlua, vodka, coke and milk.
That’s right. You heard me.
Really?? No pics of guests!!! WTF!!!! GREAT EP! Pics!!!!!!!
Utah girl here! Love me some high west!
We also have quite a few delicious beers you need to try! Squatters, Roosters…
I’d be interested in you doing a shoot out of a soda, plus its “Zero” counterpart.
Coke and coke zero
Sprite and sprite zero
Dr. Pepper and Dr. Pepper 10
etc. etc.
I’m a Utah girl too and also love High West! We definitely have some weird liquor laws.
For the person looknig for fall adult drinks. My go to is a carmel apple sangria! it is amazing! and I can totally justify to myself drinking it in the day since it’s a Sangria and its acceptable to drink wine in the day…right.
It’s also a really easy recipe to double or triple, I tried to get the link for the site I got it off of but my Pinterest isn’t working so I’ll just give the recipie here
1 750ml bottle of Pinot Gregio( or fav mild white wine)
1 cup carmel flavored vodka
6cups apple cider
2 medium apples cored and chopped
-Stir the wine, vodka and cider together in a pitcher
-Add chopped apples to the pitcher or individual glasses
-serve over ice
NOTE: Apple cider settles so if the sangria sits for awhile be sure to give it a good stir!
This recipe serves about 10-11 people depending on size of glasses.
Enjoy!!
Back in the 90s I was kind of obsessed with what a horrible marketing ploy OK Cola was. My friends & I, all in our early 20s, had a a weekly meeting called the Don’t Be a Pussy Club. We held each other accountable for slacking off, and whomever was deemed to have slacked off the most that week was sentenced to take a swig of OK Cola. We only had one 20 oz bottle, since they stopped making it so quickly. I actually had the remains of that bottle for about 10 years until my wife suggested it was time to let go.
I can’t tell you how badly I wish you still had those dregs.
All in favor of promoting Josh to co-host!!!!??? He’s too awesome to be a lowly intern!!!!!
Definitely going to try that Spooky Sour!
I loved hearing Elizabeth laughing in the background at the start of this ep. At least I hope that was her, and not the ghost!
In what second is this audible?
We are officially haunted!
You sound hot
When is the TBASH “Go Fuck Yourselves” shirt coming?
I second this motion
Amen.
YES! Or maybe a beer koozie?
Beer coozie please!!!! Fantastic idea.
Beer coozies would be perfect!
The spooky noises scared me the first time I heard them. Thought I was about to die! =P
Im pretttty sure Andy says bevvy in this episode before reading the bevvy question. haha
LIES!!!!
I heard the EXACT SAME THING. Hmm.
I mean, I’m gonna be honest…I chuckled and said the word bevvys out loud after you had said it. No shame, It’s a great word and I hope it’s used more! Viva bevvys! 🙂
Hey Andy, I hate to be that guy (yes, when an internet commenter says that, it means they REALLY WANT TO BE THAT GUY), but here goes:
You’ve mentioned so many times over the entire Laime family of pods that you’re banned from brown liquors, because they turn you into an asshole. Well, the truth is, they don’t. Not any more than a few Seagrams Wine Coolers or a bottle of Boones Farm or the same amount of vodka tonics would. The Ethanol is the same in a beer, in gin, in whiskey, wine, whatever, and Ethanol is, in fact, the only “active” ingredient in any alcoholic beverage - I.E. there’s NOTHING ELSE in the drink, no matter what that drink is, that can alter your brain activity, inhibitions or behavior.
The reason people get “different drunk” on different drinks is strictly in your head. If a woman is on a girls’ night out and says, “Wooo, I’m drinkin’ Cosmos tonight! I’m gonna end up going home with a stranger! Gals, at least make sure he’s a hottie! Wheeeee!” Well, she’s pretty much spelled out her plans for the evening before she’s even taken a sip of anything. If you get done with a long, rough week at work and call a buddy and say, “I’m goin’ down to the saloon, and I’m gonna smoke a pack of cigarettes, have half a bottle of Jack, and break a pool stick off in the ass of the first motherfucker that looks at me funny”, then guess what is probably going to transpire by the end of the night? If the bartender somehow swapped out the (This shit makes me ANGRY) Jack Daniels with (I just wanna hug someone when I drink) Southern Comfort, the same exact events would transpire, because they’ve already been decided upon before the alcohol is consumed.
There’s been a ton of research on the subject, this iO9 article is the first thing that came up in a Google search http://io9.com/do-different-kinds-of-alcohol-get-you-different-kinds-o-482710477 , I heard about it on the Sex Nerd Sandra podcast when she was talking about different alcohols leading to different sexual activities, and the ‘intoxication expert’ she had on said basically the same thing.
I’ve heard you say this so many times about being banned from the stuff you love to drink, not bringing this up to be a know-it-all asshole, but maybe you can cite this solid scientific research as part of your case and you’ll be allowed a shot of the good stuff every now and then, instead of just skunk-ass wine (That made me laugh so hard at work when you smelled that wine by the way I was lucky no one was around).
Cheers
It’s great you brought it up. I had always suspected this.
Hi guys!
Love all the Totally podcasts and listened to my first TBASH episode, which happened to be #PSL, while driving this morning. Why did I pick #PSL instead of starting from episode #1? Well, I’m normally a tea drinker who will throw in a cappuccino or espresso a couple of times a year when the occasion calls. Except when the season of #PSL arrives at Starbucks! If owned a pair of Ugg Boots, I’d proudly wear them while skipping in to my friendly neighborhood Starbucks to drink some crack. So imagine my surprise that 7 Eleven’s pumpkin spiced latte won the episode’s shootout! I HAD to have one! I stopped at a corner 7-Eleven and saw they still had the PSL on the machine but quickly noticed they had an “out of” sticker over the button. NOOOOOO!!!! I googled the second closest 7-Eleven and, praise baby Jesus, they had some on hand. Oh my, it was delicious and way better than Starbucks for sure. But sooooo rich, I could only drink half my small cup. And only $1.45 compared to $4+ for a small (tall) Starbucks PSL. IS it a deal or are Starbuck’s ingredients better? So many, many questions. Loved the experience though, I think it’s the first time I’ve been on a drink/food quest due to a podcast. Well played
Also, something fun my husband I do when traveling is find out how the locals “cheers” (Nostrovia! Etc) to add to our toasting arsenal. Might be cool for you guys tofeature toasts from around the world each week when toasting over a cocktail.
Yay TBASH!
Chok dee!

Favorite episode so far! Love this new side of Andy with his bros.
I am surprised your guest, who worked at Starbucks for 6 years, did not know that Starbucks, automatically WITHOUT ASKING, adds sugar syrup to plain iced coffee orders. I was wondering why the calories for iced coffee was 90 calories. The barista said they add sugar syrup. She said they are NOT supposed to ask if the customer wants it. This does not just happen in the south as was mentioned on a later podcast. I live in Oregon and they do it here. This is a serious issue to diabetics and Starbucks should get a smack down.
