Get LIT with Montebello & Chi-Chi’s Long Island Iced Tea — With A Side of Molson XXX & Olde English 800

January 19, 2026·1 hr 11 min·5 clips

Bum Wine Bob and Roadhouse announce they will crack open the new Four Loko Jackpot live next week.

1. Bumming with Bobcat episode 382 features hosts Bobcat (New Jersey) and Roadhouse reviewing the Montebello Long Island Iced Tea cocktail alongside Chi-Chi's brand LIIT and Molson Triple X 7.3% ABV. 2. Bobcat is the primary host who started the Bumwine Bob website in 2014 and the podcast in 2015; Roadhouse is co-host and self-described 'Mr. Malt Liquor'; the YouTube channel was at 17,000 subscribers at time of recording. 3. The episode's core hook is finally reviewing the $2.99 Montebello Long Island Iced Tea cocktail that Bobcat has been seeing in coolers next to MD 2020 and Wild Irish Rose since 2012. 4. Bobcat announces a subscriber milestone reward: a discontinued Colt 45 Double Malt sitting in the fridge will be opened when the channel hits 20,000 subscribers. 5. The episode is numbered 382, with episode 400 projected for around June of the same year, and plans are already forming for a 40-ounce-themed 400 celebration. 6. Roadhouse opens with Old English 800 in a 24-ounce tall boy; Bobcat contributes the Molson Triple X at 7.3% ABV, describing it as easier to find in a county or two over where he buys Hamm's beer. 7. Both hosts agree that Old English tastes slightly sweeter and better from a tall boy than from a 40-ounce bottle — a longstanding observation in the show's tasting canon. 8. A discussion of discontinued 22-ounce glass bottle malt liquors reveals that Old English, Colt 45, and St. Ides 22s have largely disappeared; Roadhouse last saw them at a store that also stocked the discontinued Colt 45 Double Malt about six years ago. 9. Budweiser's 150th anniversary heritage cans are discussed: Bobcat shows pictures of the throwback designs, including a 1960s original can and an 80s sideways-logo can, noting nostalgia as the main driver for repurchasing familiar brands. 10. Roadhouse recalls being approximately 14 or 15 years old, paying a stranger five dollars to buy him a six-pack of Budweiser bottles in 1985 or 1986 — his first beer purchase. 11. The beer price inflation discussion centres on Bobcat walking out of an unmarked-price store after discovering a 12-pack of Miller Lite cost $17.99, and both hosts contrast this with smaller bodega operations that charge more without displaying prices. 12. The Montebello Long Island Iced Tea cocktail is described as a 200mL flask containing rum, vodka, gin, tequila, triple sec, and natural flavors at 42 proof / 21% ABV, priced at $2.99 with a printed sticker price visible on the bottle. 13. Roadhouse's Chi-Chi's brand LIIT is 187mL at 12.5% ABV — smaller bottle, lower ABV, and nominally 'fancier' given the brand's association with a defunct sit-down Mexican restaurant chain. 14. First sip reactions: Bobcat calls the Montebello 'definitely 100 percent rubbing alcohol' and notes it clears his sinuses; Roadhouse confirms the initial sweet flash disappears immediately into pure alcohol aftertaste, though both rate it technically drinkable. 15. The Chi-Chi's restaurant chain is discussed: both hosts recall it as the premium Mexican sit-down option in the late 1980s and early 1990s before it was shut down, attributed to a hepatitis outbreak. 16. A variety of Chi-Chi's branded products are noted to still exist in grocery stores: chips, salsa, and pre-mixed cocktails including margaritas, Mai Tais, and Sex on the Beach. 17. Rumpelmintz peppermint schnapps at 100 proof is defended by Roadhouse: he argues it has an unfair reputation alongside Fireball, and that it is only dangerous when taken seven or eight drinks into a night rather than as a first shot. 18. Bobcat introduces the 'wrestling a bear' — his name for ordering an Irish Car Bomb followed by a Jäger bomb, described as his preferred way to get ahead of a group at the bar or to challenge first-time drinkers. 19. A running gag proposes a viewer-submitted shot tracker: counting how many times Roadhouse takes Rumpelmintz shots during an episode, framed as a statistical challenge for the show's audience. 20. Best audience is fans of bottom-shelf malt liquor culture, 1980s–90s nostalgia, and male friendship rambling conversation podcasts; listeners expecting structured tasting notes or craft beverage content will not find it here.

As heard by us

A $2.99 Long Island iced tea powers a loose bottom-shelf hangout.

This episode sticks with a $2.99 Montalbano original Long Island brand iced tea cocktail and the usual bottom-shelf hangout. It moves from the store's card-minimum gripe to a memory of spotting the drink beside MD 2020 and Wild Irish Rose, then settles into the label details:…
