You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.
I AM six forty is Later with Mo Kelly. We are live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app as we Go Beyond the box Score with Jackie Ray. Good
Evening Jackie Ray. On Friday, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority announced
it would sponsor every player on a two year deal that nets Las Vegas Aces
players one hundred thousand dollars each. That is almost double what most players in
the WNBA are making, and the WNBA is an investigation is underway. I
presume into this deal because it seems like they would be circumnavigating the salary cap,
which is one point four million dollars per team. It would blow that
out of the water. It smells bad, It seems kind of jank.
Where do you come out on this? So I think I have a unique
perspective because you know, I'm in Long Beach and I cover city council of
that nature. So I have seen the Tourism Authority do things like donate money
to certain entities. Right now, they've put a like fifty million towards a
musical venue. All of that is in an effort to bring tourism into the
city. I had the privilege to go see an Ace's game several times,
and there is a draw to the Las Vegas Aces. So the tourism authority
has every right to invest in things that they think brings people into the city.
So what this essentially is is them saying and recognizing the Las Vegas Aces
have a buzz. They are the team of the league right now, and
so why not capitalize on that? And why not since now we're doing name,
image and likeness, why not do that for these specific women because this
team, all of them, have a face in that city. If you've
ever been to Vegas and seen the Aces, you know that this team is
the face for the Aces. So I think the league is really missing it.
They've missed it a couple of times, in my opinion. The also
got in trouble a couple of years ago when their owner decided to give them
charter flights because the rest of the league did not have that. But the
Aces ownership has relationships in that city. Obviously, the owner is part owner
of the Raiders as well. He has relationships and he's making this beneficial for
the team and I think instead of investigating this, because this was negotiated with
their agents. It's basically an nil deal, And so I get why the
league is saying, oh, but yeah, but other teams don't have that
will tell them to step up, tell them to build relationship. Let me
ask you this. Then I understand why it would benefit Las Vegas tourism.
But also playing on the other side, I understand why the WNBA would say,
wait a minute, that violates the spirit of the salary cap, and
then you have undue influence as far as inviting or encouraging enticing free agents or
trades to the city of Las Vegas, because you're blowing the salary cap out
of the water. Because these deals, although they are with the agents,
they're with every player on the team. It's not merit based in any way.
It's not like your Gatorade say hey, Asia Wilson, we want you
to be the face of our franchise. No, they're saying, like,
just play on this team. You got one hundred thousand dollars stat Yeah.
I fall out on the side that that is absolutely okay. The league has
to recognize that it has been in the red for its entire existence. It
just doesn't have the capital soil to pay these women what they're worth. I
would encourage Indiana Tourism Authority to look into ways into capitalizing on Caitlin Clark.
I don't know a single person who's planning a vacation right now to Indiana.
But if you incentivize people, and if you create this buzz around the team,
now it's like okay, yeah, let me go. If you start
putting these marketing advertising out there, you have hotels giving you discount, you
have to make us want to go. You have to make us want to
invest in this team or in individuals. And I think if the league is
really trying to forward think sometimes you have to think outside of the box.
I think this is a great idea. What about if WNBA said, hey,
why don't you make sure that it comes through the league, not the
team, because if you do it to the league, because of the collective
marketing agreement, there is a way, long term, we can make sure
that this hits all the players in the league through revenue sharing, as opposed
to these twelve players or so in this one market, this one team,
and then it seems like there's favoritism to this one team and the other teams
like Indiana Fever, who are not as attractive. Dare I say, won't
be able to do these same things, but they don't have to suffer because
of it. I mean, that's a very Kombaya idea. But I'm not
team everybody. Everybody's not the Las Vegas Aces. Everybody hasn't won back to
back championships. Every team doesn't have Asil Wilson and Becky Hammond as the head
coach. Every team is not the same, so I hear you. But
the ownership has gone out of their way to build a stell not only a
stellar team, give them a stellar, state of the art workout facility they
are investing. And ownership, I think ownership throughout the league needs to take
a look at this situation and figure out ways that they can partner with cities
where they can incentivized because there's never going to be and even if you put
this into the WNBA, it's gonna get so watered down that by the time
that revenue share does hit each individual player, it's not gonna be worth as
much. So I don't think this is a team everybody situation. I think
this is a let's step your game up situation. All right, what about
this though? There is something to be said and you kind of alluded to
this about the history of the Las Vegas Aces where Las Vegas Asis were under
WNBA investigation before the twenty twenty three season. Becky Han't, who you mentioned,
was suspended for the first two games of the season without pay and the
team lost to twenty twenty five first round draft pick after the league rule the
Aces violated the workplace policies and league rules regarding player benefits. This is not
connected to that, but it's not disconnected to that. I think it exists
in the same headspace. Do you disagree? I do, because that one
was directly tied to Deerka Hanby and apparently she was promised, yeah, you
know, we're gonna keep you here, but then she got pregnant shortly after
that, and then there was questions surrounding her pregnancy, and she brought this
to light because she felt she was basically traded away because of her pregnancies.
And so that's a different situation. That is a Becky Hammond internal situation.
That's not an ownership situation in my opinion. Obviously, like you said,
they're still connected but I do think sometimes, I mean, there's no woman
out there that's listening to this who hasn't wondered if they are going to have
a baby, if that's going to jeopardize their job in some way, and
there should be protections against that. So I think that was a misstep on
the part of being so championship focused. And I can see why that might
be an issue. Is when you're so championship focused, maybe you will make
missteps. Maybe this is one of them. But for me, it is
just not because this is a way to really recognize that these players are drastically
underpaid. And let's not forget this. Most players go overseas and so they're
playing year round and so they don't have time to let their bodies rest.
And I think moving ahead and looking forward, if you want want the athletes
to be the premier athletes, you have to give them options on not playing
overseas. And the only way you're gonna do that is money. And so
I think that that's what's happening here. You see that you still want if
you want to do a three peet, you gotta pay for that. There's
got to be some sort of way to keep your players healthy and at home,
and I think this is just one of those steps. All Right,
we've talked now about women's professional basketball. When we come back, let's get
into professional football. Harrison Butker his commencement speech at Benetticteen College. That story
won't go away. We haven't had a chance to address it, but it's
continuously evolving. We'd love to get your thoughts on that. I'm not as
outraged as other people are. I'm curious to see if you are outraged,
if at all. We'll talk about that when we come back. Is Later
with Moe Kelly k if I AM six forty. We're going beyond the box
Score with Jackie Ray. We are alive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You're
listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty. We're
continuing to go beyond the box Score with Jackie Ray and live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. Kicker Harrison Butker for the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs has
been a topic of discussion. I don't want to say he's in hot water.
I don't want to characterize it anyway. I know that he is a
topic of discussion because of his remarks given at a very conservative Catholic college,
Benedictine College in Kansas, because I think it is you, the women who
have had the most diabolical lies told to you. How many of you are
sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions
and titles you are going to get in your career. Some of you may
go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to
guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children
you will bring into this world. Did you have a chance to see the
speech. What were your feelings about the speech? Oh? I definitely saw
the speech, and I think my first thought was nobody cares about a kicker
until they miss and he definitely missed the mark on this one, which is
why we're talking about this. I didn't think people have opinions, and I
think one of the things that we as a society have really leaned into and
we should really reconsider, is all of us don't have to have the same
opinions. Do I emphatically disagree with some of his opinions? Yes? Do
I think some of his opinions are just flat out stupid, because considering who
his mom is, and she is a very well accomplished physicist, I believe,
obviously this is an educated woman. Obviously he lived well off of her
means and his father's means. So to dumb down and to stand in front
of women who are accepting a degree so they can go on and achieve these
careers and say, yeah, you've been told the biggest live whatch you really
should be looking forward to is being barefoot and pregnant at home, totally missed
the mark. He's an idiot for that, But that's his opinion. I
don't have a problem with him saying we've lost some of our traditional values.
I do think that we've lost some of our traditional values. I don't think
we've lost enough for me to get up and do a commencement speech about it,
but I do think a lot of our values we have lost. And
he knew he would be offensive to say that, you know, we have
this sin that has a whole month after it. You know, he did
a lot of in the windows about certain things. We know you're talking about
pride, but we know you're talking about the gay community. And sometimes these
are conversations that you have in your home with people you love. There's no
reason or maybe on a podcast, you can say it on a podcast,
but there's no reason for you to stand in front of a group of people
who are ready to take that next leap in their life and spew your opinions.
Nobody cares you're there to encourage them. Let me push back on that,
and some of this is sincere, some of its insince here. You'll
hear what I mean. I don't personally care about what he had to say
because I am not a graduate of Benedictine College. I am not a Catholic.
In other words, I am not the audience his message was directed to.
And a Benedictine college is comfortable with inviting him. They knew what they
were getting, and the audience and graduates were largely okay with what they got.
Then I don't mind that. What I do mind is, as a
member of the media, the selected amnesia or the selective outrage, where you'll
have someone using his celebrity and platform like Lebron James to espouse his opinions and
ideals and he's told to shut up and dribble, and then this very same
person will look at Harrison bucker and then get up and applaud as if like,
wait a minute, you don't want him to shut up and kick.
That's where I have a problem with it, because we have the selective outrage
as far as what we accept and expect of athletes, professional athletes, what
they're supposed to do with their celebrity. If it's okay for Harrison, butker,
I don't want to hear another mumbly word about Lebron James. Ever well,
and I agree with you, but this is the ry. We need
more black media, more diverse media, because I think that if you have
a diverse set of people talking about certain things, then there will be fairness
in the way that things are addressed. But that's not what we see.
We see a very lopsided media base that is going to say, hey,
this is a great guy. But when you have someone like Lebron James giving
who he is, where he come from, in his background, and then
you're challenging a system that benefits one group of people, then now of course
it's going to be like, oh, you should shut up and dribble because
you are saying things that go against what we believe and things that we want
to perpetuate, and it's the opposite this in this situation, this is a
person that they can identify with, it, they can relate to, and
he's perpetuating things that leans into that base. So if I are streaking correctly,
in other words, if they agree with it, and it's okay,
I was trying to fill around it. Absolutely, Yes, here's my thing.
People want to say, Well, it was out of college. You
know it was done publicly. It was for public consumption. You don't speak
at a college and think that it's in a room where there are no microphones
and there's no one recording it, no one's streaming it, and there's going
to be no clips of it. No, it was done in a certain
location, but it wasn't meant to stay in that location. If we're okay
with any athlete speaking out, then let's be okay with athletes speaking out.
If you're going to condemn Lebron James for speaking out as if he's not in
a American as if he's not a father, as if he's not a participant
in the society, then hold that supposed ideal consistently across the sports landscape.
Don't tell this one athlete to shut up, and this other one is like,
we need more like him. F that right, But it's always going
to be that way again until we diversify the media base. And it's it's
very difficult to diversify. I've been in a journalist for twelve years, and
nine times out of ten, it's just me in the room that looks like
me. It's just me that's pushing back against some of the narratives in that
newsroom. So and that that's an exhausting task to just constantly be the one
that says, oh, no, you know, you didn't do that over
there, and the eye rolls that you get and it's like, oh,
you're overreacting. I'm not overreacting. I'm calling phoning it out. But it's
never when you're that lone gunman in the room. It's hard to really,
you know, make people see because at the end of the day, most
people, unless you are really intentional about your humanity and your dignity, most
people only want to see and hear the things that align with who they are.
You say that one more time because they didn't hear it, they didn't
get it, So slow down and say it one more again. As they
say if most people, unless you are really in tune and conscientious about your
humanity and your dignity, most people only want to see and hear things that
align with who they are. I didn't agree with much of Harrison Butker's commentary.
I followed him for a long time. In other words, none of
what he said surprised me. If you knew who he was, and if
you followed professional sports, if you followed the Kansas City Chiefs, this is
not new, so I wasn't surprised. Maybe I'm coming at this from a
different dvantage point. What he said that was for the graduates, and the
graduates can take it or leave it. Benedictine College can take it or leave
it. I don't care one way or the other. I'm not going to
lose any sleep over it. But it is a perfect time to point out
the selective rage and the selective amnesia. The selective criticism is something that I'm
going to high like time and time again before I go, Jackie Ray,
what else are you noticing out there on the sports landscape which needs to be
highlighted? You know, there's so much I am so excited about what's happening
in the WNBA obviously I'm covering that. It's interesting to me how the narrative
right now is around Caitlin Clark. She got a couple of hard screens from
Stewie, Sabrina and Nescu fake throughout, and the narrative is like, oh,
look at these bitter old women who are being mean to this young girl
who has elevated the league. They all are crazy. Aple are crazy.
I know so again, but it's very interesting to see how people can look
at something that's to me very black and white and shifted to something that's convoluted
in something that it's not. That's very interesting to me. Also, with
the Denver Nuggets not making it past the Minnesota Timberwolves, have we really seen
the evolution of Anthony Edwards. That's something that I really want to explore.
So the sports world is really just kind of fascinating to me right now.
I'm having a great time. Well, Jackie Ray, I'm having a great
time with you. I usually text you is are you watching this? Are?
Yeah? Yeah, No, I'm working at the moment. Look can
it's so much all over the place. But I will be at the Sparks
game tomorrow covering that game. I will say this. The La Sparks are
in a building year, and even though they lost to the aces, they
held their own. I was very proud of them. Dere Kahamby is on
our way to having an All Star year. You're listening to Later with Moe
Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty. I have some flaws. I
have some failings. There's some things I'm trying to work on. There's some
things I look at myself in the mirror and realize, Okay, Mo,
you're not You're not being the best person you can be. For example,
you might have heard by now that there is this daredevil I put that in
air quotes. His name is or he calls himself reckless Ben ben Schneider.
He goes around filming himself, taping himself with a selfie stick, doing all
sorts of stupid stuff. To me, I'm the person who usually roots for
the pavement. I'm the one who's rooting for the pavement to win against the
daredevil. I'm the one who's rooting for the pavement to put an end to
the career of these would be daredevils who are going around taping things for likes.
Subscribers hearts views like the a hole who jumped out of a plane and
crashed and been tried to cover it up. I'm rooting for the pavement to
win. This is different from Evilknievel ABC Wide World of Sports on a Saturday
afternoon, who was a legitimate daredevil. He had a team around him trying
to protect him as much as possible. He wasn't doing anything illegal. It
was on the up and up. This fool, reckless Ben, had a
whole ruse in which he was trying to throw off the cops so he could
run up in this tower, the graffiti tower, and then walk via a
line from one tower to the other tower. I continue to root for the
pavement. So I'm between the two abandoned graffiti towers in downtown LA. You're
looking at YouTuber Ben Schneider, or Reckless Ben, as he's known to his
thousands of subscribers. He's walking a slack line between two of the graffiti towers
at Ocean Wide Plaza in downtown La. Oh but what they didn't tell you?
He has a selfie stick and he's taping himself as he's going across the
line. Hey, hopefully I make it across him. Don't die. Ben
and his crew were able to avoid the expensive police perimeter on Sunday morning.
We had pretend like we're a religious cult, and we got like twenty people
to all hold sign and say Jesus saves, and the signs were blocking the
police's point of view. And then we all just like hop defence. See
I am rooting for the pavement and the signs for blocking the police's point of
view, and then we all just like hop defence. Then they climb five
hundred feet up the abandoned buildings and did that multiple times to string and then
tighten two to one inch nylon straps between the towers. I call it moral
Graffiti's what I call it. I'm a moral graffiti artist. I vangalize buildings
without causing any building damage. Ben, who is an experienced slack liner,
spent just over two and a half minutes on the line in a safety harness,
walking high above the city. I was pretty confident Ben can pull it
off. Lydia Wren was a lookout for Ben's team and probably his girlfriend.
Lydia has better things to do other than the hangout with Ben. Don't be
like Ben, Lydia wrenn was a lookout for Ben's team and the getaway driver.
I just do this for fun. And this is not you know a
job. I actually I worked on a VR start Probably not. If you're
talking about doing this, you're probably not actually working for the VR startup any
longer you put your name out there and you don't. You're not supposed to
tape your crimes. You know that. No, this is illegal, right,
you can't just go in a never mind and the getaway driver, I
just do this for fun. This is not you know a job. I
actually I work on a VR startups. I'm like a tech person. I
just do this for fun. This is not you know a job. I
actually I work on a VR startups. I'm like, which, what person?
This is like my weekend thing. Reckless. Ben is known for his
unusual stunts and has walked the line before in Yosemite, and that was even
higher. He's well aware of the danger. Everything's dangerous, like driving a
car is dangerous, but we're still drive whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa. I drive my car every day. I am not as liable
or likely to die. A horrific debt death as I am walking a slack
line between two buildings. Not And also, if I get in an accident
in my car, there's a car around me. There's nothing protecting your dumb
ass from the pavement except that safety harness. Now, not all danger is
the same, Okay, something insulting us, He's well aware of the danger.
Everything's dangerous, you know, Like driving a car is dangerous, but
we still drive. So like the Sun I did is dangerous, but I
think the risk out or I think the reward outweighed the risk, you know,
because no it did not. The reward of likes and hearts and views
and added subscribers did not outweigh the risk. That is another lie. If
you say otherwise, you're lying to me. The Sun I did dangerous,
but I think the risk out or I think the reward outweighed the risk,
you know, because it's like I think we inspired a lot of people.
I got to push my comfort zone. We got to do something scared.
We got to inspire the world to go What did you What did you inspire
the world to do? Mark? Were you inspired? I was inspired to
shout you kids, get off my abandoned buildings. Now I'm rooting for the
pavement. They can go up there. I'm just saying, I just want
the pavement to win ultimately. Well yeah, just like Jesus would of course.
Just well, I said, I'm a flawed person, and I am
up trying to work these things out, and I am a walking contradiction.
Where's the flawed? I admit that, seriously, I am rooting all the
way for the pavement to win, fire the world to go live their best
life. Figure. Once police realized that there were trespassers on the tower of
property Sunday, they began to search and the twenty Okay, they know who
it is. They have video of him doing it. What are they waiting
for. I'm quite sure they can find him. It's like he's a one
man a flash mob. Okay, he's on the net. I looked him
up. He's a YouTube channel. I'm quite sure they can backtrace this YouTube
channel to wherever he is and find out and arrest him, because it would
seem with everything he did is probably at least five or six pelonies, and
the twenty eight year old Ohio native had to hide in a tub covered with
plywood for several hours. Eventually, though he escaped. I don't get it.
That is amitment to the bit. Hiding in a tub covered with plywood
for hours, I'm waiting for the reward to come in. He said.
The reward was worth more than the risk, the reward of inspiring people to
live their best life. You're not inspired to live your best life. I'm
living my best life right now, and I've never ever risked my life to
that degree. I will say I looked at the video and I was terrified,
just because my fear of heights was brought to life watching him go across,
and I get I'm sure there was there was no chance that he'd really
fall and goes splat. I'm sure there were well, there was, just
you can see there was a harness on him. If he fell, he'd
be dangling on the slack line. Done a slack line might have broken from
the weight of you know, the poll, but you know the pavement let
me down. I was waiting for the pavement. He was ski was skilled,
and I said to myself, I've actually I think for me, I'm
hating because I could never So I look at someone that does something like that
and I'm like, man, the Cohrna on you. No, I'm hating
because it will inspire someone to his point, but will inspire someone to do
something stupid and die. It's it's one degree remove from the tide pod challenges.
It's one degree removed. No, I'm being serious yea, because you're
inspiring people to do equally stupid stuff. Ah, there's that point. Okay,
you know who are you inspiring? What is it? What is it
you're doing that is actually helpful of people. You're breaking any number of laws,
you're you're playing games with police, you're trespassing, and you're doing all
these things which throw yourself into physical danger. Your partner girlfriend, I don't
know, booty call, whatever she is, who works for a startup or
something. I don't know why she was there. She wasn't even taping.
I don't know what her purpose was other than moral support to get away driver.
That's right, get away driver consessing on video. I'm the wheel woman.
They're almost this dumb call back to the seven to eleven criminals. K

that aligns with your zodiac sign. In other word, pre drink selections,
cocktails before your mail, pre meal cocktails aries. The Negroni. The origin
of Negroni is hotly contested, just the way and Arees likes it. Aries
is ruled by Mars, the red hot temper short planet of action and aggression
in kind or war. The battle over the Groni's origin story is nothing short
of a barroom brawl. Every bit is entertaining. If you're looking for the
perfect acrimonious accompaniment to a Magrony cocktail, saddle up to its Wikipedia talk page.
Okay, Stephan, what the hell is mcgronie. It's a It's the
original one one one one cocktail, so it's equal parts gin, sweet vermouth
and COMPARI. Okay, I'm glad I'm not in ares Tarus, bourbon and
blood. Taurus is represented by the horned and horny bull, and when provoked,
both a sign and totem go for gore. Enter the Bourbon and Blood,
a strong drink gussied up with a tarragon sprig, perfect for these fancy
leaning people to boot and for the unrepentantly bougie bowl. This particular recipe comes
courtesy of the Risk Carlton and MAUI all right, Stefan, what it's a
bourbon and blood. It looks like it's like a glorified old fashions bourbon or
rye Salerno blood orange liquor and half ound sweet vermooth with three dashes bidders of

I think this is Mark yep vodka. And by the way, when
is your birthday? Mark's in June? Can you be a little more specific?
It was a whole month's Uh, it's early in June, and I
think I have to work that night. I uh, maybe I should take
that. But the answer to the question, I've been taking my accues from
the Sunday News shows. That is my statement on the matter. You have
received my statement, Jim and I vodka martini. Oh yeah, those are
great, perfect, perfect. I'll tell you after I read all fourteen of
the James bond books in a row. Whenever the long Suffering One and I
would go out to dinner, I would order vodka martini before we ate,
and then of course, just like bond wine with dinner. Well, this
one is in honor of the martini dipping double Gemini mother who imparted to a
person that the poetic advice that martinis are like tatas three is too many,
one is not enough and is just right. Who could argue with that they
haven't been to Mars A total recall joke. Yes, deep cut cancer.
What is an ouzo wuizo uzzo uso o u z oh, I'm not familiar
with it. It's a liquorice flavored liqueur from grease grease, It's good,
oh okay. Cancer folks are ruled by the moody ass moon and as a
result can be hard to predict and difficult to handle, much like the taste
and effect of this based black licorice forwards. Uzzo has a relatively high sugar
content and a sweet taste. Hides a heavy hit and a sneaky hangover coming
on sweet before leaning into punishment. A cancer poem leo, your drink is
French seventy five. Oh, those are good. You're just a regular bartender.
That's right. You did work as a bartender, not a very good
one, but those are good. Is there such a thing as a good
bartender? I was a little surly. It probably wasn't the field for me
to be in. Looking for someone or something to celebrate and never afraid to
be the occasion themselves. Leo is the Champagne of the zodiac, a crucial
component in this classic cocktail. Leo rules to Heart and the Silver Screen,
and in kind is equal parts romantic and dramatic. Fittingly, the French seventy
five rose to fame after Fluzi ordered it in the sweeping love story slash gin
joint propaganda film Castle Blanca. It does sound good though. It's gin lemon
juice, simple syrup and champagne. So it's gin and juice, so it's
like a summer drink. So it's like a stoop dogg kinda okay, very
popular with women. And you know this how ordered? Yea virgo Pim's cup.
Virgos, like both Brits, are covert deviants that come across as proper
prim and more than vaguely judgmental enter Pims and English born at a better tief
chalk full of vegetable notes, complex herbal tones and floral nuances. Virgo rules
the US, and a pim's cup is said to soothe them. Brugal is
also known to be fantastical about their temple bodies. And this cocktail is garnished
with an entire salad. Yeah, there's like four garnishes you can put on
it. I don't drink salads. I eat salads. Yeah, because it's
it's two ounces pms, half ounce of lemon juice, ginger ale, and
then the garnishes are cucumber, mint spray, strawberry, lemon wheel, and
orange wheel. I know how you can drink the dree peals. It feels

the drunkard's dilemma vodka or gin by insisting both add an effervescent lemon twist,

a little gross. You don't want to mix vodka and gin and Lila.
I think it's the third ingredient, quinola, or but I guess it doesn't.
They don't make it anymore, so they say bartenders have to improvise with
lilt blanc. Yeah, the way you improvise is you throw out the person
who ordered the drink. Man. You just no wondering, You're not a
bartender. Scorpio tolla last word. Scorpio's a sign that would rather die than
apologize, and will take the last word even if they have to etch it
on their gravestone. Enter this cocktail that looks like Ursula's afterbirth and tastes bittersweet.
Scorpio loves a secret, a cloak, a dagger, and a trapdoor.
And this epicity was born during Prohibition, when alcohol could only be sold
in private clubs. Nice, Hugh Stefan, sounds good, gin, I
don't know what green sharp truse one part lime juice and one part in marishio
the core, okay. Nice. Sagittarius a gimlet. Sagittarius is where opportunity
meets optimism. It's a sign of making something out of nothing, A billion
dollars out of a breakup, lemonade out of lemons, and a great cocktail
out of high seas disease. And a gimlet is what it's a vodka Vodkan
lime juice. Here's us jin well Jenner Vodker. Those are like drown liquor.
Okay, No, gimblets are wonderful. Those are good. You like
yourself for gimblet? How are you gonna tell me what I like? You're
Sagittarius Capricorn, Carpano Antica Americano Capricorn is daddy energy. It likes a club
chair, a robust stock portfolio, and being right. Enter Carpano and deca
formula by mouth, well rounded and rich, which is coincidentally what every Capricorn
aspires to be. This formooth describes yourself as par excellence and ideal for making
refined, exclusive cocktails like the Americano Stefan. It looks like this is kind
of like a hodgepot. You can do whatever you want with it, but
it doesn't really there's no specific recipe that I can see. It's like a
suicide. So you just say the name again, please, Carbano and Dica
Americano. You have somebody ordered one of those for me. I just stare
at him, or it could be Carpano and Americano. People are saying it's
basically like a different modified version of the Negroni. Okay, so turn the
soda gun on them. If they order that one Aquarius, you're the bitter
Giuseppe, the cinnar Manhattan. I'm not an alcoholic. I can't tell you
what these are. The calling card of every Aquarius is being weird and sinnar
c y n ar is made with the essence of artichoke. Oh, stop
right there. The bitter guse Yeah, it's a cinar sweet vermouth, lemon
and orange bitters. So they're just making stuff up now, they're just throwing
stuff together. Yeah, Will crawls out close out with Pisces. That apparol
sprits. Apparol sprits, like Pisces is a gateway drug like the average Pisces
and apparol sprits comes across as a breezy, benign way to while the while
away the afternoon, perhaps under the glorious shade of a striped umbrella, entertaining
delusions of capri. But make no mistake, both sign and drink are a
gateway drug. Stefan. Yeah, that definitely looks like a brunch drink one
quarter ounce approl, two ounce persecco, and the splash of soda water.
So I'm pretty sure it's popular with women. Okay, that's refreshing everybody.
That sounds good. This is this all sucks. There's no whiskey in here,
there's no brown liquor. It's a good point. Yeah, this is
a superban. But for bartenders like my co parents. She's a bartender,
she makes all these drinks. They all suck. He's a brown liquor.
