00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,920
Hey there whiskey lovers, You
ever wonder what happens when
2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,120
you mix Kentucky Derby winners,
legendary bourbon masterminds?
3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,720
In a dash of bold ambition you
get Blackwood Distilling Co, a
4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,760
premium brand born from the wild
65 to one odds victory of
5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,600
Country House in the 2019 Derby.
They have crafted luxury toasted
6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,440
bourbon and America's first
triple barreled toasted ride
7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,840
that'll knock your socks off in
the most delicious way possible.
8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,520
Picture this 7 to 9 year old
Kentucky Bourbon.
9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,920
Think deep creamy vibes, soft
barrel spices, and that smooth
10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,400
as velvet warmth kissed by a
hint of vanilla from Kentucky's
11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,840
golden era.
And that's just the bourbon.
12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,920
If rye's more your thing like it
is for me, how about a five to
13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,800
seven-year old Indiana rye
triple barreled and toasted
14
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,040
barrels that blend spice, dark
fruits, mint and A dash of white
15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,560
pepper.
It's basically a liquid holiday
16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,520
wrapped in oak and fire.
Batches are continuously rolling
17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,600

Union, so if you want in on
18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,640
luxury, head to

Cheers to the good stuff.
Today on the Film and Whiskey
21
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,760
podcast, we are talking movie
candy.
22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,880
We'll be drafting it up while
talking to one of the greatest
23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,480
voices in the whiskey world.
Then we're going to be trying
24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,120
some Bardstown Bourbon Company
High Wheat Origin series.
25
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,920
This is the.
Film and whiskey.
26
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:50,440
Podcast.
Well, hey everybody, welcome
27
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,680
into the Film and Whiskey
podcast.
28
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,760
I'm Bob Book.
I'm Brad G.
29
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,920
And we're coming at you with
another special bonus episode.
30
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,960
Bonus episode.
I have said this every week,
31
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,560
Brad, since we ended Season 8
officially, but these
32
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,840
intermediary episodes between
seasons are just so much
33
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,360
freaking fun, man.
Yeah, the it's an absolute
34
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,240
blast.
It's so much easier to just sit
35
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,840
back and record an episode.
And I put maybe 10 minutes of
36
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,720
work into this.
I didn't watch a 2 hour movie.
37
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,440
I didn't spend time writing 22
pages on why I hate The Last
38
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,240
Jedi.
This is I'm just here.
39
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,720
I like candy and I'm going to
talk about it today.
40
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,200
Yeah, I mean, it's great for
you.
41
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,360
I didn't think that it was
possible for you to do less prep
42
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,800
than you do for most of our
episodes, but apparently we have
43
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,880
cut that workflow down even
further, Brad.
44
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,200
So yeah, let's talk a little bit
about what today is about.
45
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,600
And in order to do that, I want
to bring in a special guest, a
46
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,720
third chair, a moderator of
sorts.
47
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,800
It's our friend, but first time
guest, David Thomas Tau.
48
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,480
David, how you doing today?
Hey guys, sorry I I tried to do
49
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,280
like an intro voice there and
it, it, it was perfect.
50
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,200
Like overeager third grader who
just moved to a new school.
51
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,360
It was like about two steps away
from hey.
52
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,320
You guys.
That's the energy I'm trying to
53
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,320
bring to the show today.
David's brought all the energy
54
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,040
so far.
We were just talking off Mike
55
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,240
about how to introduce him
because he is a multi hyphenate.
56
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,040
He is a professional whiskey
writer.
57
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,040
He is, he probably hates this
word, but he has much influence
58
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,160
in the world of whiskey.
He is a whiskey influencer and
59
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,760
crucially for this podcast, he
is a producer of both Broadway
60
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,760
shows and films.
So we've got much to talk about
61
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,080
today, David.
Yeah, I was going to say, in the
62
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,120
world of a podcast called Film
and Whiskey for you, what came
63
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,240
first, the film slash Broadway
or the whiskey?
64
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,040
The whiskey, the whiskey very
much the very much the whiskey.
65
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,640
I also just want to clarify, I
have Forrest Gump syndrome, so I
66
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,760
just say yes to a bunch of stuff
and I end up in weird places
67
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,400
like this podcast, which is a
lovely place.
68
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,040
I just want to be clear, it
worked out for Forrest Gump and
69
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,800
I'm just like assuming it's
going to work out for me
70
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,480
eventually.
But definitely the whiskey
71
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,000
first.
Born in Louisville, raised in
72
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,320
Bardstown.
I joke that I'm like a whiskey
73
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,519
neppo baby, but I'm not related
to anyone in whiskey, you know?
74
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:21,880
It was just kind of like
adequable.
75
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,080
Like you just get, you're just
like, there's, there's not a
76
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,400
lot, there's not a lot else in
Bardstown as far as like
77
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,520
Industries 1 can really sink
their teeth.
78
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,520
A lovely place, but kind of
whiskey's like the game in town.
79
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,360
So I live in New York now, but
it was like whiskey was always
80
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,240
going to win.
I had no choice.
81
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,480
It was always going to happen.
Well, I don't mean to like
82
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,000
immediately dive into the deep
end of like, you know,
83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,800
dissecting your resume here, but
we talk a lot on this show about
84
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,680
different roles in movie
production, as you know,
85
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,320
especially directors and
writers.
86
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,040
But this is the first time we've
ever had a film producer on the
87
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,960
show.
And I think that to the average
88
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:02,360
person, if they know anything
about what a producer does at
89
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,080
all, you know, either it's a
day-to-day job where you're
90
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,200
really on set or you're just the
guy that writes a check and then
91
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,840
sends people off to do whatever
they're doing.
92
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:13,360
And so I think like, let's,
let's maybe tear down this
93
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,680
conception of the producer that
you're just Scrooge Mcduck, like
94
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,600
sitting on a pile of money and
funding everything unless that
95
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,560
is what you're doing and then.
Minions, minions go do my
96
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,000
bidding.
Straight up, I'll be very honest
97
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,640
with you guys.
There are some projects I've
98
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,000
produced where I am very much
the Scrooge Mcduck character.
99
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,080
There you go.
Like not if, if I'm not writing
100
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,880
the check, I'm like getting the
people in, like convincing the
101
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,120
people to write the check,
right.
102
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,480
So there I've definitely
produced projects where I am.
103
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,800
I wouldn't call myself a
creative producer, I'd call
104
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,040
myself a business and producer.
You're figuring out where the
105
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,080
money's coming from.
You're figuring out maybe some
106
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,160
like how to market it, how to
get butts in seats right, Like
107
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,240
how to what's the right, whether
it's like a play, a movie, what
108
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,440
ATV show, whatever it is like
what is the right outlet for
109
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,640
this?
How do you match into the right
110
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,320
audience 'cause that's the most
important thing in content,
111
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,800
right, is getting it in front of
the right people.
112
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,360
And then there are projects
where especially I think this
113
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,680
year on the theater, I think to
the theater end, especially like
114
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,880
somebody off probably stuff I've
done where I'm like neck deep in
115
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,400
the script, you know, with like
we're going over dialogue and
116
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,960
we're doing this and it's it's
very dramaturgical.
117
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,240
I actually have a meeting
tomorrow for a show that I'm
118
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,560
like somewhat involved with TV,
like not saying too much because
119
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,760
the show hasn't come out.
It's like a play, etcetera.
120
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,800
But I'm like, we're having a a a
sit down tomorrow and we're
121
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,800
going over dialogue.
You know what I mean?
122
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,520
So a few weeks ago I had a a
small off probably showcase and
123
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,800
I was tearing up carpet and
dismantling a casket the next
124
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,600
day because a casket was part of
the set.
125
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,080
So like producers are, it
doesn't mean any one thing.
126
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,800
You can mean a whole bunch of
different things.
127
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,040
And I've been very fortunate in
that.
128
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,080
I think I've done stuff that's
like it couldn't be more hands
129
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,520
on and then I've done the stuff
where it couldn't be more
130
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,000
business side.
You're sending emails and making
131
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,080
spreadsheets, and that's your.
So that's a.
132
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,680
That's a big spectrum.
Sending emails and making
133
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,680
spreadsheets, that that's like a
dream job right there.
134
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,280
Well, if I can, if I can
awkwardly segue us into our
135
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,080
topic for the day, I'm going to
start by asking David this.
136
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,440
You may not have a lot of
day-to-day involvement in the
137
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,040
nitty gritty of making a film,
but do you have involvement in
138
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,480
sitting in a theater and eating
tons of candy?
139
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,000
Because boy oh boy do Brad and I
have involvement in that.
140
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,520
I I do, I absolutely do.
I do want to say I should I
141
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,680
should say that the nitty gritty
of of making a film.
142
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:44,720
You know what?
Let's talk about the candy.
143
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,000
Yes, I was going to say
something.
144
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,120
I was going to say something
like elegant and then it didn't.
145
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,640
You know we're just going to
talk about we're talking about
146
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,560
candy, right?
Now, David, you already use the
147
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,160
word dramaturgical, which is a
word I am guaranteed to use 20
148
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,320
times in the next week.
And every time it will be wrong.
149
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,000
And I'm excited about it.
You will.
150
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
You get someone has to buy you a
drink every time.
151
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,200
You fit that into conversation
at the Bourbon Festival.
152
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,200
I'm ready.
The next time we'll all be
153
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,840
together in person, so keep a
running town.
154
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,560
There you go.
I'm ready, man.
155
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,720
All right, so Candy David, where
are we at with Candy?
156
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,320
Candy.
So I, I, as I was saying
157
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,520
earlier, I don't actually have
the biggest sweet tooth anymore.
158
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,320
I was a candy fiend as a kid.
So that actually means that when
159
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,440
I am eating candy, I'm really
picky, you know, because I'm not
160
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,120
doing it every day.
I'm not doing it every week.
161
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,559
So when I'm when I'm going for
the sweets, like I'm going to be
162
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,080
really discriminating.
And if I don't like it, if I'm
163
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,920
trying a candy and it's not
hitting the spot, I'm, I don't
164
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,680
feel like I need to finish the
bag or even the handful, you
165
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:50,160
know what I mean?
So that's me.
166
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,560
I love it, man.
All right, well, let's tease a
167
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:54,720
little bit of what we're here to
do today, Brad, and then we're
168
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,720
going to pivot hard into
drinking some whiskey to really
169
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,120
fuel the conversation.
But folks, we are doing a movie
170
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,240
candy draft today.
Couple years ago on our
171
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,560
Instagram, we had some really
great engagement when we were
172
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:09,840
talking with people about what
their preferred movie candy was.
173
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,120
And it turned into a big thing
around the time of March Madness
174
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,120
where we did movie candy
madness.
175
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,000
I think we presented either 16
or 32 of the most popular movie
176
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,640
candies.
And Brad, it got it got kind of
177
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,360
a it was hiery.
Yeah, it was as it was.
178
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:32,040
Reese's Pieces won over Peanut
M&M's in the final, but it was
179
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,360
like a 5347 split.
It was it was pretty contentious
180
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,240
there to the end.
Yeah, I I mean, if you're going
181
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,520
to get Americans up in arms over
any type of bracket, it's going
182
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:48,560
to be sugar and fat consumption.
Absolutely, Americans love
183
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:52,480
competition and they have a
propensity towards diabetes.
184
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,040
And so when you can combine
those two things, I mean, it
185
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,000
really is just it's a new market
to tap into, David.
186
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:00,880
We're number one.
We're #1.
187
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,720
Oh man, this is going to be a
great episode.
188
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,400
Guys.
Let's let's drink whiskey.
189
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,040
Brad, it's time for us to move
into our whiskey for the day
190
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,680
before we dive into our draft.
And today we are revisiting with
191
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:15,120
our old friends at Bardstown
Bourbon Company.
192
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,280
Now, a year or two ago, they
introduced a new line of
193
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,840
whiskeys called the Origin
series, which is meant to be
194
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,360
kind of their permanent fixtures
that indoctrinate people into
195
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,640
the world of Bardstown bourbon.
And they've just released their
196
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,040
weeded bourbon in this line,
which they are calling their
197
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,720
high Wheat Bourbon.
Now, Brad and David and I have
198
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,360
been marveling over the
packaging in the sample that we
199
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,000
received because it has a fancy
little light at the bottom.
200
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,760
And you guys are about the same
age as me.
201
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,320
I don't know if you grew up
watching SpongeBob SquarePants,
202
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,320
but there's an episode of
SpongeBob where the Krabby Patty
203
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,440
is floating at the camera and
there's a guy doing like a
204
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,920
really dumb da da da da da
dramatic music.
205
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,480
And so every time I open this
box of whiskey, I just, I think
206
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,280
about doing dramatic music for
the reveal of it too.
207
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,240
I feel like Patrick Stark has I
already.
208
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,680
I already ripped apart.
I already ripped the light off
209
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:10,040
of my box.
So I'm.
210
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,680
It is.
It's just sitting in your hand
211
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:13,200
there.
You're just illuminating random
212
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,720
things around you.
I never got one.
213
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,800
I never got a candy bar.
I'm going to make a real out of
214
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,120
this, out of how I
scientifically.
215
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,360
Deconstructed this, but please,
please do so this high wheat
216
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,000
bourbon.
They are not kidding with the
217
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,920
mash bill here.
It is definitely high wheat, 53%
218
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,640
corn, 39% wheat and 8% malted
barley.
219
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,160
It is a six year aged bourbon.
I am very excited to dive into
220
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,320
this Brad, because we've had
really good luck so far with
221
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,080
Bardstown and I'll throw over to
you guys 'cause I've been
222
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,960
talking a lot.
What are you picking up on the
223
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,320
nose here?
First off, I'm picking up the
224
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,160
fact that Bardstown can do no
wrong in my eyes.
225
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,200
They they just a, they make
incredible whiskey.
226
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,880
I've had a few that I don't
love, but I've never had
227
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,840
anything that was poorly made.
So Bardstown is always going to
228
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,360
be worth, at the very least, an
attempt.
229
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,720
It's going to be worth jumping
into.
230
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,200
I, I want to just give a quick
shout out by the way, I posted
231
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,200
that I've gotten this bought
little, this, this cute little
232
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,000
mini bottle they sent us, right?
It's cute.
233
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:19,040
I posted, I got on Instagram
Nick Smith, the head distiller
234
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,400
at Bardstown Bourbon Company,
who I grew up with, by the way,
235
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,800
we were like in the same grade
in school, like we're in Boy
236
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,200
Scouts together, 4H, etcetera.
He reached out to me and he's
237
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,320
like, I'm want to know what
you'd like.
238
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,480
What I want to know what you
think.
239
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,120
He, this is his mash bill that
he came up with about, Oh, wow,
240
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,080
you know, over six years ago,
right?
241
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,880
And he was kind of trying to
experiment and push the
242
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,120
envelope.
How high, You know, let's let's
243
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,680
make a real, let's not just not
pussyfoot around here.
244
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:45,680
Let's make a real.
We're not doing, we're not doing
245
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:47,360
18% wheat.
Come on, we're.
246
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,600
Not doing 18%.
We're going 39.
247
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,040
And I kudos to Nick like because
this has been my first time
248
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,320
tasting this.
I've heard a lot of good things
249
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,520
about this.
I just want to give a shout out
250
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,800
to Nick.
They run a really cool operation
251
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,760
there and Nick is, is a huge,
huge part of that.
252
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,040
And it's awesome to see someone
that I have known and been
253
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,880
friends with for so long, have
you know, something really with
254
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,360
his fingerprints all over it
come to market.
255
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,800
So like, shout out to Nick
Smith.
256
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,320
Absolutely.
Yeah.
257
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,280
I just I just see the Adam
Driver meme more more more.
258
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,480
We're talking about Adam later,
actually.
259
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,600
I got Yeah.
There you go.
260
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,280
So I, this is, this is my like
conspiracy theory.
261
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,840
It's not a conspiracy theory.
So you know how people always
262
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:30,200
talk about rye spice or like a
rye or or, you know, rye grain
263
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,480
bourbon.
And we always overuse that in
264
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,760
the reviewing for in like, if we
don't know what to say, we'll
265
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,720
just say rye spice if you want
to say so many things about
266
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,360
whiskey.
I mean, I've, I've never done
267
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,440
that.
David, what are you talking?
268
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,680
About that's a it's such a
crutch for just like, oh, rye,
269
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,160
rye spice.
Obviously I get a ton of spice
270
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,640
from a really good wheat whiskey
or a really good wheateded
271
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,840
bourbon.
I get a lot of spice.
272
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,720
It's different.
I often get I often compare it
273
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,200
to like cherry cobbler, like a
really dark dark cherry cobbler.
274
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,800
It's almost like medicinal
cherry, but it is spicy.
275
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,560
So if you have like like
Bernheim wheat whiskey at calf
276
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:08,840
strength from Heaven Hill, you
know, there's a stereotype of
277
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,920
thing that wheat makes things
smooth, right?
278
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,080
And because Pappy is very
popular and people think it's
279
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,480
popular because it's quote UN
quote smooth, and that makes
280
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,680
easy drinking bourbon and
somehow that's better and more
281
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,240
desirable.
I think it's a load of garbage.
282
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,120
That because I think weeded
bourbon can have really
283
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,400
powerful, borderline unctuous
spice sometimes.
284
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,480
And so when people are like, oh,
weeder weeders drink real
285
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,720
smooth, I'm like, this is I just
don't believe that, right?
286
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,120
Like I just I think it's a good
quality weeded bourbon or wheat
287
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,440
whiskey.
You often get a a ton of spice.
288
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,360
It's not rice spice, it's its
own thing, but it is.
289
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,000
It is spiced if not spicy a.
100% yeah.
290
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,200
The, the more I, the more I know
this one, the more I get almost
291
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,760
the Christmas spices, like a
little bit of a nutmeg, a little
292
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,480
bit of cinnamon, almost I, I
think I'm with you 100%.
293
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:10,000
I've never had a weeded whiskey
that has this much weed in it.
294
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,760
And I like it's taking it into a
realm that I am really enjoying.
295
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,080
Yeah, I'm glad you brought up
Christmas spices here, Brad,
296
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,040
too, because this reminds me of
almost like, you know how
297
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,240
there's like your newfangled
Christmas treats and then
298
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,680
there's like, hey, this, this
thing got brought over from
299
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,160
England in the 1600s, but we
still eat it at Christmas.
300
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,960
It's like some traditional
Christmas English pie that has
301
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,840
like, Raisin in it.
It has those.
302
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,320
It has like tons of really,
really dark Christmassy spices
303
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,400
on it along with a ton of Raisin
for me.
304
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,040
I get quite a bit of black
pepper on this, which is usually
305
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,880
a note to David's point that we
reserve for rye, usually get
306
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,440
black pepper really heavily on
rye.
307
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,720
I'm I'm kind of shocked at how
much spices on this and it
308
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,840
carries through onto the pallet
as well for me, Brad.
309
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,120
Yeah, 100% this pallet, it's so
good.
310
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,360
Like like I.
Don't know what else to say
311
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,960
about it because all of the
notes we are getting here on the
312
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,960
nose carry through on the pallet
with a foundation of the
313
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,720
caramel, almost like a
caramelized toffee.
314
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,800
There's a little bit of
nuttiness there with all of that
315
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,800
spice on top.
I I love this stuff.
316
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:25,880
To me I get some real I get like
spice Berry compo on the mouth
317
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,360
as well.
The mid palate kind of turns a
318
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,560
little fruity after the spice
settles in for me a little red
319
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,240
fruit.
But to me, this knows I love the
320
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,680
Christmas spice analogy.
Those gingerbread men, the dark
321
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,000
gingerbread men that are ice
that you might get, they might
322
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,080
come in like a cellophane
wrapper, right?
323
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,360
You take those, you leave them
in a in a tin for years.
324
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,400
You never touch them.
They get super stale.
325
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,160
They they become like weapons.
You could like throw them like
326
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,480
ninja stars.
It's 20, it's 2042, and David is
327
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,600
opening his tin.
And you open the tin and you
328
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,400
remove the cellophane and that
concentrated gingerbread, stale
329
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,319
gingerbread man with with
frosting spice is what this nose
330
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:08,560
is like.
Yeah.
331
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,119
Yeah, you're not wrong man.
You know what's really crazy
332
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,880
here is to the point of this.
This has some of those rice
333
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,560
spices that we typically talk
about.
334
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,880
I think the barley's actually
doing a lot of heavy lifting in
335
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,079
this mash bill in a way that I
wasn't anticipating at only 8%
336
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:29,960
of the mash bill.
But it has a real grassy, earthy
337
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,240
kind of on the back of my palate
right when I go to swallow.
338
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:36,440
It's not so much there on the
finish, like lingering, but it's
339
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,640
definitely more earthy and
herbaceous than I expected it to
340
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,480
be.
You know, somebody was saying
341
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,640
earlier, cherry is what we
typically get on weeded bourbons
342
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,800
especially and the really sweet
ones, Brad, it tastes basically
343
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,280
like drinking a cherry Coke.
This is not that at all.
344
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,520
Like it's, it is way farther
into.
345
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,880
I think they timed the release
of this perfectly because this
346
00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,920
is your typical like pumpkin pie
fall spice but with a little bit
347
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,160
of like grassiness to it that I
wasn't expecting.
348
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,000
When I was in Ukraine, oh, I
don't know, in 2012, one of the
349
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,760
thing that I had, one of the
things that I had over there
350
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,680
that was incredible was some
like like straight cherry juice.
351
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,840
And man, oh man, like the hints
of cherry I get on this remind
352
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:26,440
me of that where they somehow
they balance the tartness of a
353
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,040
cherry with just enough
sweetness.
354
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,320
That is one of the best drinks
I've ever had in my life.
355
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,120
And this cherry, the cherry
notes I get on this on the nose
356
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:41,080
and on the palate remind me of
that much more than any of
357
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,440
these.
Because most other cherry notes
358
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:49,040
that I get on whiskeys remind me
more of even of the the Traverse
359
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,720
City cherries we got Bob like.
Like they remind me of that.
360
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,800
Which are incredible and great,
but not like a raw pure cherry
361
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,040
juice.
Sure, sure.
362
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,320
I, I really admire Bardstown
because with their, with a lot
363
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,520
of their releases, they are
pushing things that are not
364
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,840
super old.
And that's great because like
365
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,200
other distillate is not they
haven't been distilling for 20
366
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,920
years, right.
They don't have those, those
367
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,400
those stocks of 10 plus year old
in house, in house distillate.
368
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:19,400
But I think they're showing like
it's always a good reminder that
369
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,240
like, you know what, I don't
always want something that is
370
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,960
like a total oak bomb, right?
I want some light, bright fruit
371
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,520
sometimes.
Sometimes I want something with
372
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,240
a lighter characteristic.
I think for me, this whiskey is
373
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,920
really showcasing like this is a
light, refreshing, you're
374
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,280
borderline refreshing bourbon,
right?
375
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,280
I'm not getting punched in the
mouth with leather and tobacco.
376
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,200
It's still still age on it,
right?
377
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,520
But I I'm digging this a lot.
I think you guys are right.
378
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,320
But some bourbon company
continues to push out great
379
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,200
stuff.
And this this is a really fun
380
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,200
one because I think we're really
pushing the limits on what a
381
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,520
weed quote, UN quote, weeded
bourbon can be, right?
382
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,920
You can't.
I mean, there's only 53% corn in
383
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,480
this, right?
You're getting, you're getting,
384
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,840
you're getting to the limit.
Yeah, guys, you know what I'm
385
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,880
absolutely digging about this
whiskey?
386
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,240
That it's $49.
I, I had no idea.
387
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,160
I so to be to be honest, one of
the few things with Bardstown I
388
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,160
always have to warn people about
is like, you're going to spend
389
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,360
80 to $150 on a bottle from
them.
390
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,640
Well worth it.
They make incredible stuff.
391
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,360
But the average consumer
probably isn't going to buy more
392
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:31,840
than one or two bottles from
them.
393
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,840
This is $50, Bob.
It sure is.
394
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,600
And not only is it only $50,
which is a a crucial component
395
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,560
in our reviews of whiskey, the
value of it, it's already a huge
396
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,080
value.
It is also bottled at 106 proof.
397
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,480
I don't think we've ever had
anything from Bardstown.
398
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,320
Correct me if I'm wrong, Brad,
but I think the lowest proof
399
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,680
thing we ever had from them was
a collaborative series they did
400
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,000
with it was a beer finished one
Goodwood.
401
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,960
Was that the name of it?
Goose Island.
402
00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:00,280
Well, they've got a couple, but
there was one that was released
403
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,800
at 100 proof and that was the
lowest I've ever had from
404
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,840
Bardstown.
And I think that a, this drink's
405
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,160
probably a little bit hotter
than one O 6 to me, which I
406
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,880
appreciate.
But I just love that even though
407
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,600
they are pricing this as an
entry point into the Bardstown
408
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,280
portfolio, they're not skimping
on anything, man.
409
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,760
Like they're still bottling this
at a really robust 106 proof.
410
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,160
This is a great whiskey to when
y'all reached out and you're
411
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,280
like hey, let's drink this the
the new Bardstown Origin series.
412
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,680
We did bourbon.
Y'all nailed it.
413
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,040
This is fun.
Yes, it is, and it is going to
414
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,440
provide ample fuel for our next
segment, which we'll get to
415
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,200
right after this break.
This episode is brought to you
416
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,880
by Blackwood Distilling.
You know, at film and Whiskey,
417
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,880
we love a good underdog story.
Well, let me tell you about
418
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,320
Blackwood Distilling.
This all started when Guinness
419
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,480
McFadden took a long shot and
won the Kentucky Derby with
420
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,480
Country House at 65 to one odds
back in 2019.
421
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:59,440
He turned that victory into
Blackwood Distilling with a
422
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,320
little help from the Justin's at
Justin's House of Bourbon and
423
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,080
together they've made something
special.
424
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,880
Luxury toasted bourbon and the
first ever triple barreled
425
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,480
toasted Rye, both at barrel
strength.
426
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,000
We're talking about deep, rich
flavors, creamy bodies and that
427
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,960
classic Kentucky warmth.
If you're a bourbon or a rye
428
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,080
guy, you're going to want to
check out Blackwood.
429
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,480
Batch 4 of their bourbon and
Batch 3 of the rye are hitting
430
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,120
shelves in Kentucky, Florida,
Texas, Washington and Wyoming
431
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:31,360

00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:34,640

your hands on a bottle.
435
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:47,200
Thanks, Blackwood.
All right, guys, it's time to
436
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,680
draft.
Brad, drafts are a recent thing
437
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,280
on our show.
This is only like, they are the
438
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,680
second one we've ever done.
Yeah.
439
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,480
I mean, we've done a few
rankings.
440
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,880
We did top fives for the first
few seasons.
441
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,160
We just did a cool Pixar ranking
where we kind of ranked out our
442
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:07,040
top Pixar films.
But yeah, drafts turns out are a
443
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,000
lot of fun.
It it, they sure are, man.
444
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,520
Especially when you have a third
person that our first draft was
445
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,920
only two people and when you do
a snake draft with two people,
446
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,840
it gets pretty repetitive pretty
quickly.
447
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,680
So, so we're slowly adding more
members to our drafts and what
448
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,520
we're here to draft today folks
is movie candies.
449
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,920
Now like I said, we've we've
dabbled in movie candy before,
450
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,000
but we're going to build it out
a little bit more today.
451
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:32,600
So what we're going to do is a
snake style draft where each of
452
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,560
us is going to assemble our
super team of movie candies by
453
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,440
selecting 1 candy in each of the
following categories, chocolate,
454
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:47,360
chewy, crunchy, fruity and wild
card.
455
00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:51,720
Now I do have.
I think it's pronounced wild
456
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,840
card.
It's always sunny reference it.
457
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,960
It sure is, man.
I've got a spreadsheet here.
458
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,600
Would it be helpful for me to
like share the screen or can we
459
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,080
keep our categories?
Oh, he says please.
460
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,360
OK, I'm going to go ahead and
start sharing this.
461
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,560
So Brad vamp for a little bit so
I can get this going about our
462
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,000
five categories.
Yeah.
463
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,400
So there are semblances of
rules.
464
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,160
This is a little bit like whose
line is it anyways?
465
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:24,720
But like for example, we are
separating M&M's from peanut
466
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,480
M&M's.
Like those those are
467
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:32,040
categorically different candies.
Now Skittles, the difference
468
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,720
between like wild Berry Skittles
and regular Skittles doesn't
469
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,360
feel big enough to quantify a
real difference.
470
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,800
So I say that just to say we're
going to kind of make some
471
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,640
judgement calls as we go along.
Not like, for example, like
472
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,480
maybe David loves like the Sour
patch Skittles, the sour
473
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,960
Skittles, like those, yeah,
maybe you could say that those
474
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,000
belong in a different category
than regular Skittles.
475
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,840
Who knows?
We're going to talk about it.
476
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,480
It's going to be a great time.
Well, beyond that too, you know,
477
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,160
there's a little bit of strategy
involved.
478
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,560
I have my candies that I eat on
the regular.
479
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,080
I eat good and plonies all the
time.
480
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,320
I know that the average person
does not like good and plonies
481
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,160
at all.
So I'm not going to probably
482
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,680
draft those today.
I want to keep Brad and David
483
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,040
from getting what they want to
get.
484
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,880
And I also want to get what
America wants me to get.
485
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,080
Because when this episode is
over, we're going to throw this
486
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,720
up on social media and I want to
know who has the best super team
487
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,920
of candies.
Guys, any other questions?
488
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,240
Any other housekeeping we need
to get to before we determine
489
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,760
the order of the snake draft
here?
490
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,360
I can't wait to embarrass
myself.
491
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,080
I hope people on this hack me.
I love.
492
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,280
I love that.
I love when people just
493
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,400
disagree.
It's awesome.
494
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,120
I do think that if there is a
controversial choice or
495
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,280
something that someone's on the
fence about, we leave it to the
496
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,920
wisdom of the group to determine
if it can be drafted.
497
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,240
I know one of the categories is
crunchy.
498
00:25:57,120 --> 00:25:59,160
You know there's a difference,
Brad, between a crunchy candy
499
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,280
and a crispy candy.
If you try to draft a crispy
500
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,960
candy in your crunchy category,
I might have something to say.
501
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,320
I was going to say I would be on
the on the side of the fence
502
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,760
that would say a crunch bar is
not a crunchy candy.
503
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And like Kit Kat, that's crispy.
504
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,440
Not.
There's not enough crunch to
505
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,480
that.
I would agree.
506
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,200
Yeah, I'm, I'm with you man.
Now.
507
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,240
David's over here like, oh this
is way harder than I thought it
508
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,480
was going to be.
He's circling that crunchy
509
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,480
category like, let's get that
out of the way first.
510
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,200
Yeah, I OK, we're just going to
do it.
511
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,120
We're going to.
We're going to.
512
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,760
All right, I'm going to click
randomize.
513
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,320
I've got all three of our names
here.
514
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,280
I was going to say.
David, I we will have tons of
515
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:45,680
grace for you, and it will none
will be left for each other.
516
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,200
Bob and I will mercilessly RIP
into each other, but don't you
517
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,160
worry, we'll take it easy on
you.
518
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,200
Please, please don't.
I'm kind of a craft person and I
519
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,320
think you should like, honestly,
I don't deserve, I don't deserve
520
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,600
your grace, like at all.
So lay into me.
521
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,560
It's for good content.
Here on the Film and Whiskey
522
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,880
podcast, there is grace for all.
Except Brad so.
523
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,040
Except for me.
I have our names in this
524
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,080
randomizer.
Should I just click it once?
525
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,000
Brad, how many times should I
click randomize for for actual?
526
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,560
Random man, you're gonna need a
random number generator to tell
527
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,000
you how many times to click
randomize.
528
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,120
I'm gonna click it five times
and we'll see who goes first,
529
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:24,440
second and third.
Here we go, One.
530
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:32,200
OK, 345, first pick is me,
second pick is David, which
531
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,320
means Brad gets back-to-back
picks for 3:00 and 4:00.
532
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,920
So we're all familiar with how
snake drafts work.
533
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,920
You know, I honestly think
second position is probably the
534
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,800
place to be here, Brad.
It's where I wanted to be
535
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,680
picking out every other.
All right, that means I go
536
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,720
first.
So once again, our categories
537
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,840
are crisp.
No, I see it now.
538
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:57,320
I'm saying crispy, chocolate,
chewy, crunchy, fruity and wild
539
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,320
card.
Wild card.
540
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,720
I'm going to get the big one for
me off the board really quickly.
541
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:10,920
I'm going to pick peanut M&M's
and I'm gonna, I'm gonna put
542
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,080
them in crunchy because I don't
know what else even qualifies as
543
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,520
crunchy.
Man, Peanut M&M's Bob, that is
544
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,920
one of my top picks.
That is such a good.
545
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,720
Golly, golly, That's such a good
show, Candy.
546
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:28,760
Such a good.
Because I'm thinking theatre
547
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:34,040
here too, you know, not just.
OK, I'm next, right?
548
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:46,840
Oh yeah, OK, I'm going to go
chocolate.
549
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:53,120
Yep, classic Reese's.
Oh, OK.
550
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,680
You're you're taking the, you're
taking the, the the slide with
551
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,000
the two cups in it.
Oh yeah, classic.
552
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,560
Yeah.
Here's the thing.
553
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,080
Here's the thing.
No one doesn't like those.
554
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,880
Unless you have a severe peanut
allergy, in which case I'm
555
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,840
sorry.
Right.
556
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,800
That's actually a brilliant one
because I wouldn't have even
557
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,880
thought of those for chocolate
because I think of the peanut
558
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,640
butter, but they definitely
qualify.
559
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,560
But it still is, you know, I
still keep chewy crunchy open
560
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,840
there, so I might even get to
end up with two peanut butter
561
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,520
for peanut forward candies.
Here is what I'm thinking, which
562
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,800
might be over committee, but
we'll see.
563
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,960
We'll see.
All right, Brad, you're up with
564
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,440
two picks in a row.
All right, so I was going to
565
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,840
nitpick the ever loving crap out
of you guys if you chose this,
566
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,560
but now I don't have to because
I get to choose it.
567
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,920
I am going to choose my wild
card right off the top.
568
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:50,400
I am taking Reese's PCs and
placing them in the wild card.
569
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,560
OK, first of all, that's not how
that's pronounced.
570
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,160
We've had this conversation
before.
571
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,640
I.
What the hell is a PC?
572
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,880
My my guy, the.
Conversation has only served to
573
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,360
strengthen my commitment to
calling them Reese's Pieces.
574
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,480
The.
The man's name was Reese.
575
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,840
These are his pieces.
Reese's.
576
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,560
Together, they're Reese's
Pieces, yeah.
577
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,320
Exactly.
Yeah, 100%.
578
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,440
Here's the fun fact I was going
to nitpick you on if you tried
579
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:23,000
to put this in chocolate.
There is no chocolate in Reese's
580
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:23,800
species.
No.
581
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,000
And I like literally I don't
think you can put them in any
582
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,400
other category.
I think they can only go in wild
583
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,800
card.
Yeah, they they border on
584
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,440
crunchy, but they might be.
Borderline, yeah, yeah,
585
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,240
borderline.
So I'm taking Reese's Pieces and
586
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,680
with my second pick, I am going
to go chocolate the the greatest
587
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,280
category, let's be honest.
And I'm going to go with peanut
588
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,680
butter M&M's.
Now those have chocolate in
589
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,000
them.
They do I I actually checked it
590
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,240
is the first ingredient milk
chocolate.
591
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,920
So it's peanut butter M&M's, not
peanut M and OK, gotcha.
592
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,000
Peanut butter M&M's.
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
593
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,200
Which I I would say is a
significant departure from
594
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,960
regular M&M's or peanut M&M's.
Now, two things, Brad.
595
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,000
First of all, I feel like we are
pushing the limits of variants
596
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,840
of a candy that you can get
because we've got peanut M&M's
597
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,640
and peanut butter M&M's on here
already and we've got Reese's
598
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,120
and Reese's Pieces on here
already.
599
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,280
Sure do.
I don't know that I've ever
600
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,440
actually seen peanut butter
M&M's sold at a movie theater,
601
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,520
but it is within the realm of
the realm of reason.
602
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,200
I don't think that this is like,
you're not bringing like
603
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,440
Japanese slime candy into the
movie theater.
604
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,440
You know where they are sold?
The Drug Mart right outside the
605
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,200
Valley View Cinemark.
So.
606
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,040
There you go.
OK, that's that's Brad's 2.
607
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,440
So we're back to David.
You have 4 categories left here.
608
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,040
I'm going to go fruity Sour
Patch Kids.
609
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,760
Man.
I knew you were going to take
610
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,840
those from Bob.
I don't have a lot to say beyond
611
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,520
I think that's a safe bet.
You know, like that's, that's
612
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,720
your I'm I'm, I'm picking the,
the, the night the well rated
613
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:17,480
linebacker here, right?
Where do you guys stand on like
614
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,680
the really hard to chew like
dots and juju bees?
615
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,920
Like, are those a hard no?
Yeah, no pass.
616
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,680
The chewiest I go is Swedish
Fish.
617
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:32,760
Oh yeah, OK.
Swedish Fish are like candy for
618
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,040
lizard people who live in the
sewers.
619
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,280
Well, I happen to be a resident
of Brooklyn, so.
620
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:45,400
So it's taken.
Good Sir David, I will say
621
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,560
Brooklyn has the best coffee
shop I've ever had in my life.
622
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:57,160
Devocione over by the Ace Hotel.
Just their black coffee is
623
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,000
wildly delicious.
I'm, I'm like three blocks from
624
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,280
there, by the way.
Oh nice.
625
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,480
Oh, man, Brad, I like how you
had to like, temper your
626
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,640
accusation of Brooklyn,
Brooklynites being lizard people
627
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,640
by like.
But they have great coffee
628
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,760
though, you know.
Not not all Brooklyn mites.
629
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,840
Just David.
Oh wait guys, you don't move to
630
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,000
New York unless you are OK with
occasionally losing a fight to a
631
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,320
rat, you know what I mean?
Like like it was a choice for me
632
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,160
to live here.
I know.
633
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,280
Like I don't get a.
Capital C Capital C Choice.
634
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,800
Yeah, All right.
I'm up for a pick.
635
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,720
I think that I have tried to
contain my old man tendencies as
636
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,240
long as I can, but I'm going to
try to knock out chocolate
637
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,040
because.
Raisinets under chocolate.
638
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,480
You're damn right I am.
Brad.
639
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:47,040
Raisinets as I get older are
perhaps the perfect candy.
640
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,680
They are just freaking.
They go amazing with with
641
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,040
popcorn.
You get the nice saltiness
642
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,080
followed by chocolate followed
by fruit.
643
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,160
It is a game changing
combination.
644
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,000
Raisinets are goaded in the
realm of chocolate candy.
645
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,520
Bob, this might be a winner for
you.
646
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,080
I don't think you're going to
win the social media battle
647
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,679
here.
I still have three more picks,
648
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:11,480
man, I'm doing great.
In fact, I have another pick
649
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:12,960
right now.
You sure do.
650
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:23,440
I'm going to go Chewy and I'm
going to take Skittles in chewy.
651
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:29,159
Now they do have a so nice soft
candy coating, but I would say
652
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:31,320
that they are chewier more than
anything else.
653
00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:34,080
Yeah.
If you eat 1 skittle at a time,
654
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,159
they are not chewy.
But who eats 1 skittle at a
655
00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:38,679
time?
I was about to say when you
656
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:42,880
throw a handful in there, it
turns into like almost a salt
657
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,080
water taffy.
Yeah.
658
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,679
Now here's I'll argue with you,
Bob.
659
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,520
I would say that they are
primarily known as a fruity
660
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:55,080
candy, secondarily as a chewy.
I don't know that you have to
661
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,560
draft it in its prime.
Like, as long as it qualifies,
662
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,800
yeah, it should be good, right?
Yeah, no, I'm, I'm fine with it.
663
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,080
It just seemed like you were
saying it's primarily a chewy
664
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,240
candy and I I just have to
disagree with you as often as
665
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:09,400
possible.
I will qualify this with my
666
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,840
hottest take on Skittles which
is about 10 years ago.
667
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,120
They replaced the green skittle,
which used to be lime flavored
668
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,400
and now it is green apple
flavored and I think that the
669
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,240
green apple is great, but I
still want justice for Lyme.
670
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,200
There was like a moment a few
years back where they did like a
671
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,120
promotional Lyme is back and
they replaced it with Lyme
672
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,520
again.
People lost their minds on
673
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,960
social media about the Lyme
skittle coming back.
674
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,440
I didn't.
I never minded it.
675
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,640
I don't know if either of you
are Skittles connoisseurs like
676
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,840
me, but the green skittle was
never the best one anyway.
677
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,200
I don't know what we're up in
arms about.
678
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,440
I'm not a big fruity sugar like
just pure sugar candy fan, but
679
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,120
Skittles are the best of the
fruity candies in my opinion.
680
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:51,680
I did it.
I got it.
681
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,800
I I feel like the the green
Skittle is like the the lime
682
00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:00,120
Skittles, like the Seattle
SuperSonics, the Skittles like
683
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,720
if they sell the throwback
jersey for a week, it'll sell
684
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:06,560
out.
OK, Brad, you're up, man.
685
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,720
Oh man, I so I have two picks.
No, no, no, David.
686
00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:13,880
David's up.
Yeah, David's up, David's up.
687
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,200
It's.
It's all it's all.
688
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:20,640
OK, I'm going to go thought
about this crunchy whoppers.
689
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,440
Oh, good one look at you.
I didn't even think about
690
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,640
whoppers in Crunchy.
Yeah.
691
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,200
I mean, I think that counts,
right?
692
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,760
That they're yeah, 100.
Percent, and this is all about
693
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,560
this is like the physics of the
Whopper too.
694
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,160
Like if it was pounded thinner,
if it was like wafer shaped, it
695
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,680
would just be basically a Kit
Kat and then it would be crispy.
696
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,200
But because there is like a
whole sphere of candy to
697
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,440
breakthrough, it's it's
definitely crunchy.
698
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,600
OK, OK.
I'm I'm glad I didn't, glad I
699
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:48,960
didn't upset the Commissioner on
that one.
700
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,520
Yeah, no, I, I think you're good
there.
701
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:53,800
All right, Brad, now it's to
you.
702
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,200
OK.
I'm going to try to go fruity
703
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:05,200
because I personally would say
that the wild Berry Skittles are
704
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,640
a different category than
regular Skittles.
705
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,040
I don't know how David you're
getting.
706
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,440
Too nitty gritty, man.
Come on.
707
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,520
I've never seen Wild Berry
Skittles sold at a movie
708
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,520
theater.
You know where I've seen them
709
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,440
sold.
At Rite Aid, I know, but like, I
710
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,400
think Skittles are off the board
at this point, man.
711
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:31,080
All right, all right, I, I will.
Go elsewhere for my fruity pic I
712
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,280
think.
Let me think for a second,
713
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:40,520
because I have a few options.
I think that I am going to go
714
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,480
with airheads for my fruity pic.
Interesting.
715
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,640
Yeah, the not necessarily my
favorite, but to be honest with
716
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,760
you, I don't love a lot of
fruity candies.
717
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,320
But airheads?
I remember as a kid consistently
718
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,240
thinking that airheads were a
solid, solid choice.
719
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,840
Now, I think airheads are also
the ones that make those like, I
720
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
don't know if they're called
ropes or what, the ones that you
721
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,200
like peel off and they're like
real flat, which tastes I think
722
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,040
better than regular airheads.
But it sounds like you're
723
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,280
choosing standard American
airheads here.
724
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:18,520
Regular old airheads, got it.
To be honest with you, I do not
725
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:23,280
have a crunchy choice right now.
I, I need to do some research
726
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,960
while you guys are drafting, so
I'm going to go with the last
727
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,840
candy I had researched and this
is this is this was kind of my,
728
00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:38,360
my sleeper pick for Chewy.
I am going to go with nerd
729
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,400
clusters.
OK.
730
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,880
Nerd clusters are freaking
incredible.
731
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,160
That was a good candy.
Which is basically Nerd's rope
732
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,440
that they've just cut up into
smaller pieces.
733
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,840
Nerd's rope a a just a
phenomenal idea for a candy.
734
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,560
It's so good.
Nerd's rope was a candy that,
735
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:03,280
like, I would always get a small
taste of one from a friend, but
736
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,520
my, like, mom would never buy me
that.
737
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,160
Also, I grew up in Bardstown.
We didn't have a ton of candy
738
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,920
options at the cinemas.
And fun fact, Bardstown actually
739
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,400
doesn't even have a movie
theater anymore, so we've
740
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,320
regressed.
But what a great idea for a
741
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,240
candy.
Golly, those scientists.
742
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:22,720
Yeah.
Dude.
743
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:26,280
And then they just took the rope
and cut it down into little bite
744
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,600
sized pieces.
Somebody on the assembly line
745
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,600
was like, damn it, these keep
falling apart.
746
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,800
And the guy was like, put them
in a bag.
747
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:38,800
We got it all right.
I think it's back to David for a
748
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,560
pick here.
All right, I'm going to go
749
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:41,800
chewy.
I'm going to stick with my heart
750
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,760
and I'm going to say Swedish
Fish for Chewy.
751
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:50,720
Which are like quite literally
the red sour patch kids with no
752
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,400
sour stuff on them.
So no, they're, they're I, I
753
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,760
will say they're very for me.
Those are very different, very
754
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,440
different moods, right.
Fun fact, you guys probably know
755
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:00,440
this.
Here's Mom Bob.
756
00:40:00,720 --> 00:40:04,520
Don't you know the moods?
Swedish fish are lingenberry
757
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,120
flavored.
Oh.
758
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,800
Because lingonberries are big in
Swedish cuisine.
759
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,520
Sure, sure, they're specifically
lingonberry flavored.
760
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,400
I've never heard of a
lingonberry.
761
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,800
I will reveal my peasantry.
Do you know why you haven't
762
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,160
heard of Lingonberry?
It's because you hate IKEA
763
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,920
because everything they sell is
Lingonberry.
764
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:28,760
I do hate IKEA my friend.
Yeah, I don't understand.
765
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,080
We don't need to go into my
hatred for IKEA.
766
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,440
OK, I've got 2 picks left.
I'm gonna go.
767
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,520
I've got my Fruity and my wild
card.
768
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,480
I'll get Fruity out of the way
here.
769
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,600
I'm gonna go with Starburst.
Great.
770
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:50,320
Now, the only thing about
Starburst as a movie candy is
771
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,920
that they don't sell any form of
Starburst.
772
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,400
To my knowledge, that is already
unwrapped for you, and having to
773
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,320
unhapple Starburst in the movie
theater in the dark is really
774
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,680
hard to do.
I don't know about hard to do.
775
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,720
Pro move.
Just eat them with the wrappers.
776
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:10,760
That's what I've always done.
Just bite right through that bad
777
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,600
boy.
You you sorry, are are you
778
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,520
saying that you like your
starburst skinless?
779
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,000
I do like a circumcised
starburst that is like that is
780
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:25,800
my preference, but look to each
this era I was gonna.
781
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,080
Send a podcast to my mom and
that's I'll.
782
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,480
Cut that.
That's for the Patreon.
783
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,000
Come on, you would.
Find that very funny.
784
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:38,320
This is getting to a point where
I I'm down to like 2 that I
785
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,400
really want.
I'm a big mic and ikes guy.
786
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,800
I don't know if the general
public likes you.
787
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,400
Like mic and Ikes.
Love Mic and Ikes.
788
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,560
I think I'm going to take your
standard everyday Eminem here.
789
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,440
It hasn't been taken yet.
It's not my favorite candy, but
790
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,000
it is one of America's favorite
candies and I I gained back some
791
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,560
points from Raisin Nets with
this one.
792
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,960
That is the Toyota Prius of
candies, right?
793
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,160
There it is.
It's going to be from point A to
794
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,040
point B.
If you if you have nothing else
795
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,480
left and quite literally, we
have a big like bowl of
796
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,040
Halloween candy from our kids
from last year still that we
797
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,280
don't let them eat lots of
candy.
798
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,600
And so this candy just you know,
you get to the bottom of the
799
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:26,240
bowl, it's all Tootsie rolls and
individual packs of M&M's.
800
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,040
And as we know, no one eats
Tootsie rolls.
801
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,000
So I.
Was about to say, as a kid I
802
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,880
remember like I didn't love
Tootsie rolls but I would eat
803
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,680
them.
I tried one like a year or two
804
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:37,640
ago.
Awful.
805
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,520
Those things are horrendous.
Little do you know, that's
806
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:42,800
David's pick.
That's his wild.
807
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:47,960
No, it's not all right.
I'm really excited about this
808
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,080
because I actually saved my
favorite movie candy till the
809
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,640
end with the idea that it would
make it to the wild card and I
810
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,320
could take it last, right?
It was a risk, though, because
811
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,240
if I didn't get this one, if
this hadn't been drafted first,
812
00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:00,200
I would have been really
disappointed.
813
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,960
That is snowcaps.
Snowcaps are my favorite movie
814
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,360
candy.
You know what I really like?
815
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,720
Snow caps.
I didn't try them again until
816
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,560
like a year ago because I
always, they're always right
817
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,240
next to Junior Mints on the
movie candy shelf.
818
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,560
And I hate, like, hate Junior
Mints.
819
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,920
So I always imagined them being
just like that.
820
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,040
They're delightful.
They're so good.
821
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,680
And they're, they're a little
bit, just a tiny bit crunchy,
822
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,800
just a tiny bit.
And man, you know, I, I was, I
823
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,560
was saying earlier like I don't
eat a lot of candy.
824
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,680
I can.
If you pop box of those, the
825
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:39,000
whole thing's going down.
Like there's no way I can say no
826
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:39,360
to that.
I was.
827
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,640
To say growing up to be to tell
you the truth, David, I have
828
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,880
never had a snow cap, but I've
had like growing up, it felt
829
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,040
like around Christmas time we
always had like the non non
830
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,800
Perels.
Is that what they're called?
831
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,320
Yes.
Now is that the exact same
832
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,640
thing?
Is it like similar enough that
833
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,200
that would be the same candy?
They they are considered they
834
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:02,440
are they literally I'm looking
at I I was actually curious.
835
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,960
I nesley snow caps semi sweet
chocolate non for else so they
836
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:07,960
are.
There you go.
837
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,560
So I, I can imagine that I would
love me some snow caps because
838
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,920
that was one of my favorite
things as a kid was around
839
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,800
Christmas time, all the
different colors and some of
840
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,640
them were kind of minty
chocolate.
841
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,360
Oh, those are so good.
I think snow caps are just like
842
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,360
the movie theater candy branded
non for else.
843
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,320
I'm I'm in, then I I think
that's a great pick.
844
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,680
Yeah.
All right, man, bring us home.
845
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,440
Brad.
You've got one category left.
846
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,520
Crunchy.
Yeah, crunchy.
847
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,280
So I I realized right after I
picked the nerd cluster, which I
848
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,280
stand by great pick.
I was afraid that you were going
849
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,720
to take this with your final
pick, David.
850
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:48,720
I'm going to take the Heath Bar.
Oh, OK.
851
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:54,000
I absolutely love toffee.
Like if I ever had high end
852
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,840
candy, like, you know, like like
the really good stuff, toffee is
853
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:03,320
going to be my pick like 100%
every single time.
854
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:08,080
Like I love peanut butter and
chocolate put together, but man,
855
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,280
there's something about toffee.
So if I'm going to the movie
856
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,200
theater and I want some toffee,
Heath Bar is where it's at.
857
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,840
I will tell you the only reason
I didn't pick Heath.
858
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,560
Heath bars may be my favorite
candy but I didn't pick this
859
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,040
cause for me it's not a movie
candy.
860
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,280
Agreed.
Like, and here's my thing with
861
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,960
this is, my thing with Brad's
team is that Brad and I have
862
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,560
been planning this episode for
weeks and we're like, yeah, man,
863
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,000
it's got to be a candy that can
reasonably be sold at the
864
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,800
movies.
And then right before we press
865
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,800
record, Brad said, Bob, I want
you to know something.
866
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,440
I don't know if I've ever bought
candy at the movies before.
867
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,440
And boy, oh boy, is that evident
in all of your picks, Brad,
868
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,680
Because I think the only thing
I've ever seen at the movies is
869
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,880
Reese's Pieces.
Hey now I'm I'm sure that Heath
870
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,240
bars and nerd clusters are
there.
871
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,040
Peanut butter M&M's?
Come on.
872
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,560
But have you seen Reese's Pieces
at the movie?
873
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,760
That's the question, yeah.
Brad's buying knock off Rite Aid
874
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,840
Reese's Pieces that are called
Reese's Pieces.
875
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:08,040
I I just don't think even if
they were available, I probably
876
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:13,080
wouldn't buy a full Heath bar at
for me, Reese's, like the, the,
877
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,760
the, the traditional Reese's is
pushing it, but at least they're
878
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,400
like individual, right?
I just don't think when I go to
879
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,600
a movie theater eating a full
candy bar, I want something
880
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,840
that's like.
Bite sized, yeah.
881
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,240
What they should do is make
like, you know, they make bunch
882
00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:30,040
of crunch, which is like the
cluster version of crunch bars.
883
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,760
They need to make a Heath bar
cluster and then it solves all
884
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,920
of the world's problems.
Lots of tof.
885
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,640
Lots of tough.
I love it.
886
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,520
That sounds like a that sounds
like a like a cough syrup or a
887
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,680
pain medication from the 1900s
that had opium in it, right?
888
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,640
Like lots of tough.
It's a non addictive and it's
889
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,600
like super addictive.
It's made of heroin.
890
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,200
Yeah, exactly.
As soon as a pharmaceutical
891
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,720
company feels the need to say
non addictive.
892
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,480
They've lost the battle already.
Yes.
893
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,800
All right guys, I'm going to I'm
going to let us present our
894
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,960
teams here in just a second.
But before we get to that, is
895
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,720
there anything that if we
weren't trying to be strategic,
896
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,240
that your heart was the only
thing that was dictating your
897
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,880
like Mount Rushmore of movie
candies that you would include
898
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,760
instead?
Because Brad was giving me a
899
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,960
tremendous amount of grief for
my old man tendencies prior to
900
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:24,840
pressing record.
Because my Mount Rushmore at the
901
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,360
moment is there's a box of Mike
and Ikes called the Mike and
902
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,480
Ikes Mega Mix.
Freaking great.
903
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,040
I've been binging on good and
plenty.
904
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,080
It's like an old man.
I love me some Raisin nuts.
905
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,080
And then I've rediscovered this
candy called Boston Baked Beans,
906
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,960
which is peanut with a candy
coating on the outside.
907
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,000
Unbelievably good with a glass
of whiskey.
908
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,520
But of course I can't pick those
as my Mount Rushmore on the air.
909
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,280
So I'm wondering like what's
your unpopular not cool guy
910
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,560
picks?
Jelly Bellies.
911
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,000
Bob and I were literally talking
about that.
912
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,880
I just.
I've never liked any Jelly
913
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,080
beans.
Like the texture of all of them
914
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:12,040
is just.
I dig the buttered popcorn Jelly
915
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:13,040
Belly.
Me too.
916
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,000
It's really good.
I think it's so good.
917
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,960
Now, but here's the other
problem with Jelly beans.
918
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:23,760
Can you get a bag of just that?
Because I feel like every bag
919
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:28,160
you ever get is like 80 million
flavors and you find 3 buttered
920
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,720
popcorn and that's it.
And you also can't like get that
921
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:34,240
at the movie theater, right?
Like this is like, again, this
922
00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:37,240
is, I think you all put up some
really good boundaries that kept
923
00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:41,000
this relatable and realistic.
And I really appreciate that.
924
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:45,240
Well, thank you so much and in
in the spirit of us being great
925
00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:48,960
hosts here, David, why don't you
reveal once more to our
926
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,600
listeners your super team of
movie candies?
927
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,600
Well coming out of the gate
first pick Reese's just the
928
00:48:55,600 --> 00:49:00,560
traditional, you know, 2 peanut
butter cups in in a sleeve.
929
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:06,000
I want the sour patch kids after
that for fruity crunchy was
930
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,680
whoppers.
Big big fan of Whoppers.
931
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,600
Swedish Fish.
It's the chewy category for me
932
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,320
and my wild card.
One of my personal favorites.
933
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,160
Snow caps.
Or as Brad is used to calling
934
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:21,720
them, non pereal Perels.
However you say it because he's
935
00:49:21,720 --> 00:49:25,200
fancy like that.
That is not true.
936
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,880
Brad, you want me to go next?
Yeah, go for it, Bob.
937
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,160
All right, the winner here, my
team.
938
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,760
Raisinets.
In chocolate, I picked
939
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:34,720
Raisinets.
Get over it.
940
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:39,480
In Chewy I picked Skittles.
Raisinets are barely chocolate,
941
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,160
Robert.
Have you tried them lately?
942
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,280
What was the last time you had a
Raisinet?
943
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,800
I don't know if I've ever had
one.
944
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:50,160
I dare you to eat a Raisinet and
tell me that it's not mind
945
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,680
blowingly good.
In chewy, I picked Skittles,
946
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,800
great choice.
In Crunchy I picked peanut
947
00:49:55,800 --> 00:50:00,000
M&M's, in Fruity I took
Starburst, and in Wild Card I
948
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:05,920
took the original Eminem.
For my pick I went through 1st 2
949
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:10,600
picks were easily like for me in
the in the world of candy.
950
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:15,200
Like regular.
You know, not not fancy candy.
951
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:20,800
Reese's PCs and Peanut Butter M
and Ms. are like my 1A and 1B.
952
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:25,040
Like they go back and forth with
each other on what I want to eat
953
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,840
at any given time.
So those are my first 2 picks.
954
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:33,120
I went with some nerd clusters
after that, which are a sneaky
955
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:37,520
delicious choice.
Airheads more for the nostalgia
956
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,240
than anything else.
Honestly, I think I should have
957
00:50:39,240 --> 00:50:41,840
chosen Starburst there.
I think that might have been the
958
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,600
move.
And then I finish things off
959
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,080
with a absolutely delicious
Heath bar.
960
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:51,240
I am trying to imagine you like
eating a full candy bar and it
961
00:50:51,240 --> 00:50:54,160
like once David said it, you're
right.
962
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:55,400
Like you just don't want to
have.
963
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,600
There's something about like the
shape of it, the like as you eat
964
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,600
down the candy bar, you feel
more shame about yourself.
965
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,480
Like when you have a box and
it's obscuring how much you're
966
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:06,600
eating.
It's a completely different
967
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,240
thing.
But I think you need to talk to
968
00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:12,240
your counselor about that.
I imagine you like I'm using the
969
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,880
the box that this weeded bourbon
came in as an example.
970
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:19,600
Like 2 hands like.
Like like the fat kid from Willy
971
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,320
Wonka.
Yeah, just like cook us this
972
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,320
loop, just go into like.
Yes, this is such a delicious
973
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:25,200
Heath bar.
Oh.
974
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,720
My gosh, David, what a weird
episode for you to join us for
975
00:51:29,720 --> 00:51:32,160
for your first one.
But I have to say, I don't know
976
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:33,520
if we could have picked a better
guest.
977
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,960
This was a freaking blast, man.
Absolutely.
978
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:41,480
You all are some of the kindest
people in the whiskey space ever
979
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:45,480
since I met you in person at the
Bourbon festival last year.
980
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,360
I'm really excited to hang again
soon and I really appreciate
981
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:50,600
you.
Appreciate you guys having me
982
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:51,760
on.
This is a blast.
983
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,960
And yeah, I I will stake the
claim.
984
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:55,480
I think you 2 are.
You are two of the most
985
00:51:55,480 --> 00:52:00,840
genuinely fun, friendly people
in in the American whiskey game.
986
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,080
And I think the American whiskey
space is better because you're
987
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:04,440
in it.
Thank you so much.
988
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,520
Scotch whiskey game.
We're coming for you next.
989
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,400
But we'll, we'll take care
folks.
990
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,360
This has been David Thomas Tao,
a man of many talents.
991
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,040
David, where can we find you?
And maybe let's let's plug
992
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:16,880
something that you're working
on.
993
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,120
Well, if you want to find me, I
am.
994
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:20,720
I am staring at the back of your
head.
995
00:52:20,720 --> 00:52:21,880
I turn around.
I am there.
996
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:25,120
No horror movie that's for some
reason I'm thinking horror and I
997
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:26,280
think candy.
I think horror movies, by the
998
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,160
way, I'm.
Thinking of the me the he was
999
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,440
always there.
He was I'm in the house call the
1000
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:31,920

the house.

You can find me just on
Instagram at David Thomas Tao.
1002
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,200

handle.

00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:42,200
It's just my name.
I'm on Twitter or X as they say,

1006
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,280
Off Broadway play that opens the

Theatre in downtown Manhattan.

producing that with a with a
producing partner of mine.
1015
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:23,640
Also Co produced I think the the
funniest show in Broadway
1016
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,320
history.
It's called Oh Mary.
1017
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,440
It is currently running right
now.
1018
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,680
And if you haven't heard about
it I and you want to see it,
1019
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,600
don't do any research.
Do not do any research.
1020
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:40,520
Just go into it cold.
It is a madcap comedy about Mary
1021
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:44,680
Todd Lincoln based on nothing,
based not based on reality at
1022
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:45,960
all.
And that's all I'll say about
1023
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,280
that.
Yeah.
1024
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,680
And I have a few other things
I'm cooking up working on that I
1025
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:54,440
can't super talk about, but
those are the two.
1026
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,760
So there you go.
It's exciting stuff, man.
1027
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,400
If you are going to do any
research on Oh Mary, you should
1028
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:05,280
just go to David's Instagram
page and see him in his tuxedo
1029
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,200
from the Tonys.
And then that's pretty much all
1030
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:09,600
you really need to do at that
point.
1031
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,160
Like my guy looks pretty great
going to the Tonys.
1032
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,200
I I almost sweat sweated all the
way through that.
1033
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,600
It was something like like it.
Thank you.
1034
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:19,920
That photo looked great. 2
minutes later there were pitch
1035
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,080
stains.
So I'm glad we got the photo
1036
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,640
cause actually there are no
photos of me at the Tonys 'cause
1037
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,600
I I there was just I was covered
in sweat at the actual thing.
1038
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:29,920
Well, folks, that's the image
that we want to leave you with
1039
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,960
