Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it's mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I think I have to switch up what I'm drinking.
I think I realized and I am a big bourbon
no alcohol.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I am a big bourbon guy. Like I love bourbon.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I only started liking any kind of brown alcohol when
COVID happened and we were all like on lockdown and
it became like a big deal like bourbons and stuff
like that. But I'm now officially at this point where
it wrecks me. It never did this to me, and
I think it's because of the weight loss shots that
I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
How So, though it.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Too drunk or it makes you sick the next.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Day, I have one. No, I don't get hangovers. I
just get way too drunk off of one drink. And
it's to a point where I can't just do one drink,
like I got to have a couple of drinks because
I drink, you know, to be social, and I'm social
for periods of time, so it's usually a long period
of time. So I've gotten to a point now where
(00:59):
I'm contemplating, like do I change my drink? And I
was talking to the official drinkologist of my life, Brian Reef.
You know our good friend Brian. Brian is Brian knows
a lot about drinks. So Brian will go out sometimes
and he's a huge bourbon guy too, like he's got
an amazing bourbon collection. But he is like also good
(01:23):
at going out to a place and he'll order, you know,
some kind of a drink that I'm like, what is that?
And it's tequila or something, or he drinks a lot
of gin. So he had me drinking. Last week we
golfed and he had me drinking because I told him
this a Tom Collins, which to me was like, oh
my god, that's like my dad's drink.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Do you ever have a Tom Collins? He loves Tom Collins.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Tom Collins, let's look it up here right now, isn't funny?
I know what you were king drinking?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
It is gin? So I did. It was with gin.
The Tom Collins recipe, I.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Like, didn't drink.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I feel like it tastes like pine needle.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Really, Tom Collins consists of gin, lemon juice, simple syrup,
lemon seltzer or plain seltzer cocktail, cherries, a slice of
lemon before so.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It's like a French seventy five. That's my favorite, right
now it's cherries.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's delicious, very refreshing.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
The other thing that I am really into, and I've
been getting into this lately, is and I'm not a
Seltzer kind of guy, so I want you to know this.
I normally don't drink Seltzer's, but there is one particular
Seltzer that I am obsessed with.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It just tastes so good, it goes down so good.
Surf sides your steps, I.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Mean he tried, he liked it. Yeah, those are good.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Wait, but they're not am I thinking of? I know
what surf sides are. They're not carbonated, are they.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
They're uh, they're they're like bubbles.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Yeah, I see see. I hate that it has to
be super carbonated.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Taste.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
What's your flavor? They got a few of them and
they're all lemonadeish. How's the mango? I'm not a big
mango guy. I don't like mango. I do like a
pink lemonadeish one.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Don't they have iced tea version.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
Their new flavors are blueberry, raspberry, BlackBerry, and mango.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
That's the new flavors.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
They have strawberry lemonade.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
That sounds good. Yeah, that's a good one. Do you
know what I don't like? There's one that is really overrated.
Can we do Can we do a little Seltzer update
and ask people to tell us what Seltzer's they're drinking
they are.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I think I feel like people are getting away from
them white Claws.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Back in the day, we were really.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Good because they were the only one.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, they were good.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The one that I cannot get and I don't understand,
and they only have it at the golf courses that
I go to. And I don't know why. It's high
Noon's high Noon has no flavor to it at all.
It's so untasty, like BA, I might as well just
get myself a Lacroix with a little bit of vocation.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I think that's why people like Lacroix.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Really, Yeah, people love Lacroix.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
But I don't like the idea of not having some
taste to it. But I think that makes you drink
them quicker. Really, I do the only sound like I feel.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Like the last time I had some high notons, I
was with a doctor Reynolds, and I feel like, to
your point, they really didn't have a taste, but it
made me smash them even quicker.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I mean like I went through a couple of cans.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, yeah, you well, you drink them faster because you're
hoping that the watermelon that the can says it has
will come in a flavor. The other one that I
kind of have have liked is Mick Ultra does one
if you haven't seen it, Mick Ultra has a version
of a Seltzer and it's actually pretty good.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Plus you look not like.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
A Seltzer drinker because people think you're drinking a mic Ultra,
you know, because it's got the logo and everything on there.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
H Ranch Waters, I love Ranch Waters.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Do you you're a tequila drinker? Huh?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Not really, but I like it in in that what's like,
I wouldn't ever just have a tequila on the rocks.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Never the one that has like a super high alcohol percentage.
It's Cutwaters.

up my alcohol that I drank.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Right?
Speaker 8 (11:00):
I am a bartender at Prime seven in Commerce Township.
I'm the manager, okay, and we sun Cruisers are probably
my biggest seller right now.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, it's n lemonade.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
It's kind of like an Arnold Palmer.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
It's really good with vodka.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I don't know half of these.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Do you like that people do this as a bartender
because they you don't have to do any mixing.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
All you gotta do is just open up the can.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I still like making my mixed drinks.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
I'm I like making them, but it's easy when it's busy,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I think that it's this is tough for bartenders because
I bet you people don't tip as well when they're
not getting a drink made for them, right.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
So Prime is like a good local bar. So I
have a lot of my regulars that still take care
of me.

Speaker 8 (12:19):
They are gross to me and they don't do anything.
I get zero effects from cutwaters.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I don't know. Maybe I'm just maybe I.
Speaker 1 (12:27):

Speaker 6 (12:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
If you've heard of two chick Seltzers. They're really, really,
really good, but they're hard to find. They have an
elder flower like hair and vodka.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I love.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
The orange ginger and whiskey one. Because I love old fashions.
I'm always looking for to chick Seltzer and he already.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Okay, but yeah, those I.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
Do see them sometimes at Meyer, but I can't find
them anywhere else. I'm always on the hunt.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
By the way, Louis never lets you leave without something
that you didn't pay for too, Like it's crazy, I
out of the blue, all of a sudden, you're walking
out of there with. Could be anything from another you know,
great item, or it could be food from the what's
the Middle Eastern restaurant next door to.
Speaker 1 (13:33):

Speaker 2 (13:35):
It's so good, the best hummus ever, It's really good.
What's up, Derek?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Are you doing? Hey?
Speaker 7 (13:41):
I wanted to give you a little backstory on the
Good Boys. So it was a younger guy that started
it as a vodka company. He was I think he was.
He was under thirty.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
He's from Southwest Michigan.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Actually wow, yeah, yeah, And it started as a vodka
company and the slogan wash every poor helped to pump
it was for car charity and UH and then it
morphed into the Saltzers and John Daily he's a huge endorser.
But I have a bunch of friends in West Michigan
around the Grand Arapids area that were early investors.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
And Alex Pratt. Wow, that's wild.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Alex Pratt, Yeplex Pratt.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
And he's got the smartest UH person with him doing
it too.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
You know. So that's that's good. Huge ambassadors, real quick.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I got to end this topic right now, Louis do
I look a little wimpy though, going from being a
bourbon drinker to now all of a sudden, sucking on
a sunny side.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Refreshing.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
Sometimes they're good.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
They're refreshing, especially if you're in the golf course and okay,
you know your golf and you're you're you're in the pool.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
They're good salesman.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Right there by the way.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
He would never although I got to tell you, he
won't let me go to the casino with him if
I'm having one of those.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Right, not not in the casino. All right, I'll talk
to you later, buddy. Feel better, Okay, I'll see you better,
see you, guys.
All right, it's mojo in the morning.

I'm I like making them, but it's easy when it's busy,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I think that it's this is tough for bartenders because
I bet you people don't tip as well when they're
not getting a drink made for them, right.

have a lot of my regulars that still take care

company and the slogan wash every poor helped to pump
