Hello everyone and welcome back to Matt and Friends Drink the Universe, now part of the Unfiltered Studios podcast network.

Rob 1:37

We are excited as always to bring this episode to you, and the theme for this episode will be Think or drink.

Matt 1:49

Are you thinking or you drinking? Today's theme is think or drink. Just a little refresher on the rules for everyone. Think or drink is our classic trivia game, where players start with six points. The last person with points remaining wins. Correct answers. Let you choose someone to lose a point and drink, while incorrect answers will cause you to lose a point and drink. For difficult questions, you have two options. First, you can make it a double to get help from someone else If your collective answer is correct. You can choose individually to gain a point or to make somebody else drink and lose a point. If you're wrong, both of you lose a point. If you're wrong, both of you lose a point and drink. Or you can put it on their tab by selecting someone to answer for you. If they're right, you lose a point and drink. If they're wrong, you gain a point. Make sure to balance potential risk and reward when you put it on their tab.

So I have prepared the room, as you all have seen, to try and get a proper vibe going here. Yes, it's very nice. Yes.

Rob 4:00

Yes, yes, I'm noticing the pongs Pogs.

Chris 4:04

Pogs. Yes, yes, I'm noticing the Pongs. Pogs, pogs, pogs, pogs. Sweet Jesus.

Siobhan 4:07

Well, good At least we know we're going to beat Rob today.

Rob 4:11

Well, I was thinking of. What are these paper discs you?

Chris 4:14

have Pogs.

Rob 4:16

Listen, I was looking at the Pogs, I was looking at the Nintendo games and I was thinking of Pong, the old Atari game which is not a 90s thing but whatever it is not, let's just move on I'm very glad.

Matt 4:27

I can't believe you have skate or die. By the way, I know, shout out to my cousin because that's actually hers. I'm holding on to some of her stuff right now. Oh, my god, you know where we used to play that where skate away?

Rob 4:37

oh my god. Oh my god. They had the right, the cabinet of that, and it was just a joystick. The bane of my existence.

Matt 4:44

Yeah.

Chris 4:50

That's the one, I think, that got the most Nintendo arrow imprints on the thumb. Oh yeah, for sure because you just jam your thumb into it the whole time.

Matt 4:54

Yeah, Great game, great game, all right, so think or drink. 90s trivia, chris going first. The 90s were the Wild West days of the internet. Many of the most popular websites and services in use today launched in the 90s. Which of the following came out first Okay, amazon, ebay, nope. Netflix Nope.

Chris 5:16

Or Google. Ooh, now I'm thinking eBay, I'm going to go with eBay.

Matt 5:21

I'm sorry you're drinking, it actually is.

Siobhan 5:30

Amazon Came out first. Wow 1994, before ebay I'm sorry.

Matt 5:32

What ebay 1990. What four nice ebay was 95 netflix, 97 wow, google 98 netflix 97 blows my mind remember, because it wasn't what you think of it today.

Siobhan 5:43

It was all the mail service, I know, but still and their website was like literal trash.

Chris 5:47

At that point it was only like pictures of the movie and the title of the movie and you checked a box and said sounds good to me.

Matt 5:55

To me, yes, I remember that all right.

Rob 5:57

Well, bummer for you, chris is down to five points now all, oh Lord, that's gross. All right, we're keeping up with this, chris just sampled the drink of the day, the.

Matt 6:10

Zima yeah, forgot to talk about that. I made Zima from a recipe that I found online. I will post it if you're brave enough to want to try it.

Rob 6:18

It's straight lime. I'll tell you it looks horrific.

Siobhan 6:22

It looks like smearing off ice. Yeah Well, very good. Yes, I mean.

Rob 6:27

I'm just if it were a thicker consistency.

Siobhan 6:29

I would not be drinking this. I believe we talked about that upstairs. We sure did.

Matt 6:34

Yeah.

Siobhan 6:34

Yeah, if you were thinking to yourself, as we said oh, you can make Zima, yeah.

Matt 6:41

Oh, this is terrible.

Siobhan 6:42

The answer is you don't need to. Yeah, exactly, oh, this is terrible. The answer is you don't need to.

Chris 6:45

Yeah, you don't have to do it. There's a reason it went out of business.

Matt 6:49

Yeah, I'm now tasting that, unfortunately you didn't want to make balls.

Siobhan 6:53

No, was that a 2000 drink?

Rob 6:55

Was that?

Siobhan 6:56

with a Z yeah.

Chris 6:57

Yeah, and a W A W-L-Z it's.

Siobhan 6:59

B-A-W WLZ. It was kind of like, but I don't think it was alcoholic. I think it was just like a.

Rob 7:05

Mountain Dew Energy drink Like Surge.

Siobhan 7:09

I miss Surge. Surge was great. I hope there's a Surge question later. Me too.

Rob 7:12

All right, we're getting off track here.

Matt 7:14

Next up. We're going to keep with the tech questions here. Oh great Fish. I know nothing about tech. Did AOL Instant Messenger come out 91, 94, 97, or 99? Remember you have the put it on there tab or the make it a double. I'm just going to go with 94. Ooh, you're also drinking. Released in May 1997, a was an unceremoniously released standalone for Microsoft Windows. At its peak in 2001, it had 36 million active users. It was decommissioned in 2017.

Chris 7:53

I thought you were going to say 2007. I was like what?

Siobhan 7:55

No way I remember that I would have gotten that 97.

Chris 8:00

Middle school for us, yep.

Matt 8:02

All right, right, siobhan? No, the world was supposed to end during y2k. The rollover from 1999 to 2000. Why computers running out of pre-programmed dates? At the end of 1999, certain computer systems recorded years in two-digit format instead of four. A mass failed ios update or concerns about a massive cyber attack during the Millennium Celebration?

Siobhan 8:26

I feel like are we going with what the actual fact is for this or the millions of like things that went on in the media that everyone was afraid about with Y2K?

Matt 8:37

We're going with what could have caused it.

Siobhan 8:39

Okay, can you give me the first two again?

Matt 8:43

Sure Computer is running out of pre-programmed dates at the end of 1999, where certain computer systems and software had been recording years in two-digit format instead of four.

Siobhan 8:53

I feel like it's the second one. I'm just going to go with it.

Matt 8:56

You are thinking, not drinking. Good job, that is correct.

Siobhan 9:00

The first two seemed very similar, so I was like I need to know the difference. But all right, good Hooray for me.

Matt 9:06

All right.

Siobhan 9:07

First right, one Woo.

Matt 9:08

So who are you going to make?

Siobhan 9:09

Oh, let's give it to Chris. I think he's going to do well at this, even though he hasn't yet.

Chris 9:19

Yeah right, Sheesh.

Siobhan 9:20

Well, I didn't want to give it to Rob. He now has to go, all right.

Matt 9:24

Rob, in the 90s the internet sounded like dying robots. Yep that tracks. The World Wide Web was introduced in 1991. What was the first widely used web browser that played a key role in popularizing the web in the early 90s? That played a key role in popularizing the web in the early 90s? Was it America Online, netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer or Mosaic? Good God that's not a choice. God can't save you now.

Rob 9:58

I'm going to go with American Online, aol.

Matt 10:02

You're drinking Crap. Netscape Navigator that would be Netscape Navigator. It was the dominant web browser. It held around 80% of the market share in the mid-90s.

Siobhan 10:12

Remember how slow that shit was.

Chris 10:14

Yes.

Matt 10:15

With the end.

Chris 10:16

And then it was the lighthouse later. On.

Matt 10:18

It wasn't in the ship's wheel. At some point too, I only ever had AOL yeah, but that was later. Yeah, 2.2. I only ever had.

Chris 10:23

AOL.

Siobhan 10:23

Yeah, but that was later. Yeah Well, AOL wasn't a browser.

Chris 10:25

Correct, yeah, I mean it was.

Siobhan 10:27

It became like its own. Whatever like platform kind of situation. Right, but man Netscape Navigator.

Matt 10:36

All right, where are they now? We're now moving to the large and small screen. Blockbuster video had many memorable jingles in advertisements. Yeah, which phrase was often used in Blockbuster commercials to emphasize the vast selection of movies. They had. So many choices Make it a Blockbuster, rent a Blockbuster, take Blockbuster home or make it a Blockbuster night.

Siobhan 11:02

Oh, oh, come on, come on you should know this.

Matt 11:06

You can make it a double. She seems fairly confident. Okay, let's do that, yeah.

Siobhan 11:13

Oi Bawking.

Rob 11:15

Make it a double.

Siobhan 11:16

No, yeah, all right. Well, who are you choosing? I'm choosing you Okay, great, am I answering?

Rob 11:27

Is it take no?

Siobhan 11:28

It's not take Blockbuster home with you, it's make it a Blockbuster night. Make it a Blockbuster night Okay. Can we say it right Make it a Blockbuster night, make it a Blockbuster night?

Chris 11:35

Yes.

Matt 11:38

Make it a Blockbuster night? I can still, Of course. Yeah. So if I could see the yellow, it's a bright yellow, See now for us. We went to 48-hour videos which was a local place here.

Rob 11:48

I remember that.

Chris 11:48

Way more frequently than Blockbuster. But when I went to college then there was a Blockbuster in the area that we went to.

Siobhan 11:56

That's the first time you had a Blockbuster. No, no, no, not first time, I'm just saying 48-hour video was way closer than any blockbuster in the area here so were we right?

Chris 12:05

Yes, you were correct.

Matt 12:07

It is make it a blockbuster night. So now you may pick individually if you'd like to recoup a point. If you'd like to make somebody else drink, I'm recouping a point. All right, chris is recouping.

Siobhan 12:18

I don't know who to make. I'm going to make Fish. Drink, drink Fish. No, I still have six points, so I can't recoup.

Matt 12:27

All right Fish while you're drinking. I'll read your question. The 90s are considered a golden age for modern Disney movies. Which Disney movie did not debut in the 90s? Ooh, Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, Lion King or Tarzan, or E Matt is an Ass ass hat. And all these came out in the 90s. Wow, this. This is the first time we get a choice of E. Hmm, oh, Beauty and the Beast came out in the 90s um, I'm gonna go with Tarzan.

Matt 12:59

Ooh, actually Tarzan did come out in the 90s. Little Mermaid came out in 1989. So that would be the correct answer. The.

Siobhan 13:07

Beauty and the Beast was 91. I knew that.

Chris 13:10

I messed that up because I forgot Tarzan is like really late 90s.

Rob 13:15

I thought it was 2000. Yeah, that's why I said that. But you are an asshat.

Siobhan 13:21

Well that's true, e is also true, except for the second hat.

Matt 13:25

Lion King was 94. Just to wrap that up, tarzan was 1999. So it was right there. Bonus Aladdin came out in 1992.

Siobhan 13:33

Oh yeah, Saw all those in theater.

Chris 13:36

Yes, little Mermaid.

Matt 13:38

Yep, nice, siobhan.

Siobhan 13:40

Yes.

Matt 13:44

Considered the first true reality TV show. This show premiered in 1992. Was it the Real World? Road Rules Survivor or Cops?

The Biggest Movie of the '90s

Siobhan 13:55

Wow, this is good trivia. Those are really good choices. I think the Real World was later and it wasn't Road Rules, because Real World came first. Pretty sure that's the amount of trivia about that mtv show that I know. Oh man, I might go with cops, even though survivor is freaking old, but I might go with cops so cops wasn't actually considered the first reality show and it came out in the 80s okay, the real world, real world came out in 92, which is the correct answer.

Matt 14:24

Wow, from 92 to 2017.

Siobhan 14:28

Yeah, oh, I've watched all of the real world. I just had forgot totally I didn't know it was that long. It really was the first reality show, though, for sure.

Chris 14:35

That's why it was the 30th anniversary when they started doing the revisit reunions of the first cast.

Siobhan 14:42

Oh my God, which? Where was the first cast? San Francisco? Is that the first?

Chris 14:45

one no New.

Siobhan 14:45

York. It was New York, I'm pretty sure. I thought it was San Fran. We'll have to look it up. Yeah, what a good show. I love Real World. I'll take that point.

Matt 14:54

All right, it is what it is. Rob.

Siobhan 14:56

Yes.

Matt 14:57

By far. And for the record, I got so nostalgic I watched it this week. Titanic was docked in movie theaters for nine months and grossed $2.2 billion worldwide. Titanic also took home the Academy Awards, the Academy Award for Best Picture. How many total Oscars did the movie win? Five, eight, 11, or 14?

Rob 15:22

Okay, just because this number was in my head before you said I believe it's 11.

Matt 15:27

You are correct.

Siobhan 15:28

Nice, nice, wow, they were nominated for 14.

Matt 15:32

One 11. Deep breath, best picture, best director, best art director, best cinematography, best costume design, best film editing, best original dramatic score, best original song, best sound, best sound editing effects, best visual effects. They did not win best actress, best supporting song, best sound, best sound editing effects, best visual effects. They did not win best actress, best supporting actress or best makeup.

Rob 15:49

I believe that the iceberg won best. Supporting actor in that movie right. Yes, yeah, sounds right. I can't believe you watched that this.

Matt 15:56

What a role.

Siobhan 15:56

That's a long movie that's a long movie, yeah I forgot how long can I ask a?

Rob 16:01

question. It was like four hours long. May May I ask you a question? Yeah, If you were to classify the movie Titanic, what exactly would you describe it as? Because we had a conversation earlier this week and I just need to roast you about it for a moment Rom-com. No, what was the first thing you said? It was A 90s. What movie?

Matt 16:24

You said is it an action movie? And I said yeah, which is a dumb response quintessential 90s action movie. My mind immediately goes to dead I said the quintessential 90s movie, and he said, is it an action movie? And I thought there's action.

Rob 16:39

Oh, but there's action, there is action there is, but no Fifth grade me Thought that seeing Kate Winslet's boob Was action, so I'll give him that, but not the type of action that I thought. Go ahead, go ahead, chug me.

Matt 16:52

No, I was doing this For the scene With Kate Winslet. Oh.

Siobhan 16:56

Stellar set. Get out of here.

Rob 17:02

Let me draw you.

Matt 17:04

And this is from Siobhan to me.

Siobhan 17:06

Correct, correct To all of you. I didn't say anything.

Matt 17:14

All right, I remember watching that movie. Hold on, hold on.

Rob 17:17

I'm going to make somebody drink here.

Matt 17:19

Oh yeah, oh yeah, you got to do that.

Rob 17:22

Oh, this is tough.

Matt 17:23

Yeah.

Rob 17:24

I'm going to give it to you. Yep, sorry, siobhan, who's you oh?

Chris 17:27

me.

Siobhan 17:27

Okay, great.

Rob 17:28

Nobody could see us. No, no, no, but I looked at you.

Siobhan 17:31

You did. I knew it. I knew it was coming Kind of like Jack in the end of his life.

Chris 17:46

That door had room for two a bitch.

Rob 17:46

What's so funny about that is that I remember having the VHS tapes for that and there were two, and that was crazy and I just now.

Siobhan 17:49

Think back and I go. I switched the V8 like I cared that much about seeing the rest of the movie.

Rob 17:54

The movie Gettysburg had four.

Siobhan 17:56

Oh my god, get out of here.

Chris 17:58

And Band of Brothers was like a ton.

Rob 18:01

That was like a series, though, right it was a series, wasn't it?

Chris 18:04

Maybe I'm thinking of a different one.

Rob 18:05

What's the War? One that was a VHS.

Chris 18:10

No Band of Brothers is the War One on VHS. It was like a box 12 episodes, alright.

Matt 18:18

We're keeping up with the theme here of Titanic, chris. Which of the following actually happened during the filming of Titanic? Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet dated. During filming, a large number of the cast and crew were drugged with seafood chowder laced with PCP. James Cameron fell overboard into the Atlantic and had to be rescued. The submarine used to visit Titanic for the movie sprung a leak and had to return to the surface.

Rob 18:44

E all of the above.

Siobhan 18:46

Matt is an asshat. Matt is still an asshat.

Chris 18:51

All of these seem plausible, except for the PCP. That's plausible. We're going to go with. James Cameron fell overboard just because that would be hilarious Sometimes the implausible is the most plausible.

Siobhan 19:06

How is that even? Is it the PCP? Why so on?

Matt 19:07

August 9th 1996, 50 members of the cast and crew had to be taken to the hospital in Halifax, nova Scotia, because they ate seafood chowder laced with a pound of PCP. What A pound. A pound, a pound, yeah. Sorry, nobody knows what did it or who did it. There is an interview with James Cameron talking about it. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet were not present, However. James Cameron and Bill Paxton were among those who had to go to the hospital, but everybody was okay afterwards.

Siobhan 19:38

Leo and Kate done high-fiving. They laced everybody with PCP.

Matt 19:41

Is that what's up? It was a setup.

Siobhan 19:43

Who eats seafood chowder In Canada?

Rob 19:48

I would eat a delightful seafood chowder.

Chris 19:51

On set though it doesn't seem like the greatest choice. Well, what is that? Craft Services. Apparently, the food from Craft Services for actual movie stars is really good, so actually not Bill Paxton.

Rob 20:05

I can speak to this slightly oh yeah one time I was in a movie that had craft services and I happened to wander my way into a craft service tent and was eating delicious food and drinking frozen margaritas when somebody came up to me and said, hey, I feel so bad for all the non-union people that, uh, you know, can't enjoy this food. And I was like me too. Yeah really. And then I hightailed it out of there because I am not a SAG member.

Siobhan 20:34

And.

Rob 20:34

I was just pounding margaritas and eating a whole bunch of delicious food. They had like appetizers and pizza. Oh God, it was great. Then I just ran away.

Siobhan 20:44

We all would have done the same.

Matt 20:45

I would't run away too. So, Fish, I know you loved your MTV. Yeah, Beavis and Butthead Classic show on MTV. When Beavis transforms into his alter ego, what is the phrase he would repeatedly shout while clutching his shirt? And pulling it over his head. What did Beavis shout when he would pull his shirt over his head? Tp for my bunghole, I am the great Cornholio. Somebody please take a picture of Rob Ha ha, ha or Cornholio lives.

Siobhan 21:20

He did not say please take a picture of Rob, just so you know that was not a choice.

Matt 21:24

Yes, I kind of figured that was not a choice. Yeah, your choices are TP for my bunghole, I am the great cornholio, or can cornholio lives. Well, the first two sound really good. I'm going to go with TP for my bunghole, ooh, why that is a phrase that comes out of Beavis' mouth. It is I am the great cornholio.

Rob 21:45

Well, hold on. I think that this is a trick question.

Matt 21:47

Yeah, me too.

Rob 21:47

Because he said I am the great Cornholio, I need TP for my bunghole, Like it was a single phrase in which he uttered both instances of A and B.

Matt 21:57

Yes, are you trying to show mercy to the fish here?

Rob 22:00

I think fish gets it right. I think Fish gets it right.

Chris 22:03

He probably says teepee for my bunghole more frequently than.

Rob 22:10

I am the great cornholio.

Chris 22:12

But what was the?

Matt 22:14

phrasing of your question. When Beavis transforms into his alter ego, what phrase does he repeatedly shout while clutching his shirt and pulling me over his?

Rob 22:23

head, sorry, fish.

Matt 22:26

Yeah, sorry.

Rob 22:27

No, that's fair Drink. I tried to help you there. Fish yeah, sorry, drink.

Matt 22:30

I tried to help you there. Fish, I already drank. I'm almost done with the drink.

Rob 22:34

Mm-hmm.

Matt 22:35

We're getting low.

Siobhan 22:36

Yes, my points are low, aren't they?

Matt 22:41

They are.

Siobhan 22:41

Do we do a check-in on that? Yes, you want to do a check-in on that. Let's do that Right now I have Chris at four, fish at two, me at four and rob at five, so somebody make rob drink oh, that's right, I got a point back.

Chris 22:56

I forgot.

Matt 22:57

You sure did yeah all right, we're gonna take a quick break to let everybody take a swig of their drink. And while they're doing that, I want to tell you about the dueling Rivers Music and Whiskey Jam going on April 27th from 12 to 6 pm at Scott Park in Easton, pennsylvania. That's right down the street from where we are all from, from where we record this podcast. This event is sponsored by the Third and Ferry Fish Market. Going to be a great event.

What iconic character did James Amory voice in the animated series? Was it Megatron from Transformers, the Joker from Batman, hades in Hercules the animated series, or Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? It is Shredder, that is correct.

The beanie babies were one of the more bizarre crazes in the 1990s. Released in 93, people paid thousands for ones deemed collectible because people were crazy. Which one of the following statements about Beanie Babies is true? In 1998, the town of Worminster, maryland, held a successful Guns for Beanies exchange event. Supply was intentionally limited, which contributed to the craze. In 1998, ty sold $1.4 billion worth of Beanie Babies. And in 1998, it was estimated that two-thirds of all American households owned a Beanie Baby or E. All of those are true. Oh rude, you had to go do that, my God, and Matt is an asset.

Chris 26:45

The Massachusetts thing, though, what the Alright. I'm going to go with E because Everything seems plausible.

Matt 26:52

That is correct, good job.

Chris 26:57

I knew it was in the billions of sales, so that was definitely plausible.

Rob 27:01

And Matt is still an asshat, that's the end of that.

Chris 27:05

What does Siobhan drink? I don't care.

Siobhan 27:08

What Okay, harsh.

Matt 27:10

Yes, very harsh.

Siobhan 27:12

I'm glad you don't care.

Matt 27:14

I don't care either, Chris.

Siobhan 27:16

I'm also out now.

Rob 27:17

He's the fish which, by the way, before you ask him his question, I must just call our attention to the lovely, never Doubt the Fish shirt that the fish is wearing, available to you on our TeePublic website.

Matt 27:33

You can find through our website wwwmattandfriendsdrinktheuniversecom.

Rob 27:37

That's right. If you want a Never Doubt the Fish, get on in there and order one for yourself.

Matt 27:42

You can also get it in coffee mugs, cell phone cases, stickers, pretty much anything that they'll make A throw pillow, my God.

Siobhan 27:50

My God. Well, you can't get it in God, they'll make my God Just a throw pillow.

Matt 27:54

Yes, sweet, all right, fish, uh-huh. The Furby was one of the biggest toys in the 90s. Today, to call it a craze was a bit of an understatement. To call it a craze was a bit of an understatement. Which of the following is a false statement about Furbies? Furbies were banned from NASA, the NSA, norfolk Naval Shipyard and the Pentagon In 98, 27 million Furbies were sold. Tiger Electronics issued a statement saying Furbies were not spies and Furbies can record and store conversations along with sounds around them. Which one of those is a false statement about Furbies? You can also make it a double. If you'd like to drag somebody down with you or put it on somebody else's tab, let's do that. See them, put it on their tab.

Chris 28:39

Whose tab are you putting it on?

Siobhan 28:40

Who is it yeah?

Rob 28:43

Tiger never released his statement. That's my answer.

Matt 28:47

Is that what you're going with collectively?

Rob 28:49

No, he's putting it on my tab.

Matt 28:51

Oh, that's your answer. Yeah, okay, they actually did release a statement.

Chris 28:57

They definitely did. Yeah, Dang.

Matt 28:59

The correct answer was D Furbies can record and store conversation. Cannot record and store conversation.

Chris 29:04

But they can't do that, they can't store them. Oh, store, they, record them. And the myth was that they recorded them and then the Chinese spies would take those Furbies, and so yeah, well done there, fish.

Rob 29:17

I lose a point, bummer, on your behalf.

Matt 29:20

Thank you, Rob.

Siobhan 29:20

You did well.

Matt 29:21

And they were actually banned because of that from NASA, the NSA, norfolk Naval Shipyard and the Pentagon in 1999.

Chris 29:27

And slightly after. That is when Tiger released the statement, because they were losing sales off of it.

Matt 29:33

And it did read Furbies are not spies.

Chris 29:35

Those things were frightening.

Matt 29:38

I worked for Walmart in 2003. They were still very popular. On Black Friday I stood on top of the paint counter and watched the middle-aged housewives box to get the last Furby that was on the shelf.

Siobhan 29:49

Matt 33:54

She incorporated milk caps, but you can't pronounce pogs, pogs she incorporated milk caps into her curriculum as a way of teaching non-violent alternative to other schoolyard games such as dodgeball. A Canadian company basically picked it up and it went from there well, there you have it.

Chris 34:11

By the way, if, if our listeners and you others here haven't seen the video, they're doing like nostalgia videos with nfl players and one of them is pogs, and they have like nfl players who are, you know, in their young 20s, so they have no idea what pogs are, and they're showing them pogs and they're like, yeah, this was a game they played in the 90s. And all the guys are like y'all must have been so bored back in the 90s. Like they're like what the hell is this game? That's amazing.

Matt 34:41

So before we wrap up, I will say that I made Rob another drink before we started and I did want to mention it.

Rob 50:38

Matt 50:39

It is a cocktail with quite a few different things in it, but it tastes like Ecto Cooler From the 90s, so I will list the recipe for that one also.

It was delicious.
