"Hamilton" Star Jared Dixon and Top 5 Movie Musicals
Bob and Brad sit down with Broadway star Jared Dixon to discuss life under the lights, as Jared currently tours the country as Aaron Burr in Hamilton. The trio dive into Jared's history in shows like The Lion King, his Broadway heritage, and what remaining "bucket list" roles he'd like to play. Then they each present their lists of the top five movie musicals, including some Film & Whiskey favorites.
Meanwhile, our hosts try The Beverly High Rye American Whiskey, a beautifully-designed bottle of whiskey that's been making the rounds on social media. At a $60 price tag, how will it hold up to similar conversation piece bottles?

00:00:06,100 --> 00:00:08,700
that, you know, that nothing is
validated until a group of

00:00:08,707 --> 00:00:11,100
random people say hey we love
what you're doing.
5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,700
The awesome thing about doc
Swensons, whiskey is that it
6
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:17,400
isn't just some group of schlubs
that are given them Awards.

Hey, everybody.
23
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:07,100
Welcome into the film and
whiskey podcast.
24
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:11,100
I'm Bob book, I'm Brad G Brad.
We are coming at you with
25
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:15,900
another special bonus episode,
bonus episode, man.
26
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:19,700
I have been super excited for
today's bonus episode Brad
27
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:23,100
because a couple weeks ago, I
took a trip up to lovely
28
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:25,000
Cleveland, Ohio and Playhouse
Square.
29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,800
The second largest Performing,
Arts District in the country
30
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:31,300
behind good old Broadway.
And I saw a show called
31
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:33,600
Hamilton.
I've never heard of it, Bob,
32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,500
right?
I know it's a, it's a little
33
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,500
little Off-Broadway Productions,
making the rounds right now.
34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,300
Nice.
So, a couple years ago when
35
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:44,900
Disney plus released their
filmed version of Hamilton, we
36
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:48,600
did an episode about Hamilton
and starting.
37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,000
Then I have become obsessed with
this show, Brad?
38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,900
Like, I don't usually get into
Fanboy territory.
39
00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:58,000
I don't usually go down the
rabbit hole with the things that
40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,500
we watch on this show.
Hamilton is one of those things
41
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:06,000
that every decade or so, there
is a piece of art that comes out
42
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
and it's in different mediums,
it could be a movie, it could be
43
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
an album and it is so dense and
there is so much to unpack and
44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,500
there are so many references
that you just can't help but
45
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:20,400
almost get obsessed with it and
with lin-manuel.
46
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,400
Miranda's Hamilton, I think
that's kind of, the defining
47
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,800
piece of art that came out of
the 2010s.
48
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:32,600
Yeah, it seems like it just
Richard, a cultural moment of
49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,500
America, exploring, its history
and asking questions about where
50
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:40,400
we've come from and what that
says about where we're going and
51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,900
on top of, you know, all of
those deep important questions.
52
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:49,300
It's asking it's just really,
really incredibly well-written.
53
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,200
Like it might be one of the
sharpest musicals that anyone
54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,900
has ever put pen to paper for.
I was gonna say yeah.
55
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:59,100
We can talk all day about like,
doing criticism on the text and
56
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:02,600
everything, but End of the day.
It's like 50 bangers.
57
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,900
All strung together for three
hours.
58
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:08,100
It's just incredible piece of
entertainment.
59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,600
And today, we are joined by
performer Jared.
60
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,900
Dixon, who is currently on tour
with Hamilton in the Philip cast
61
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:19,300
performing as Aaron Burr.
Jared, thank you so much for
62
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:21,400
sitting down with us today or
is.
63
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,000
Thank you.
Thank you for having me now
64
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,200
Jared.
I will just start off by saying,
65
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,200
I have.
You know, Bob went and saw you a
66
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,400
few weeks ago I have Some of my
best friends in the world that
67
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,400
saw you literally a few nights
ago and the reviews are in you
68
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:42,200
are a killer Arenberg pun
intended right?
69
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:42,900
Yeah.
Right.
70
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:47,700
You know let's just start there
let's talk about the role of
71
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:51,300
Aaron Berger a little bit.
I mean you're coming in in a
72
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:54,800
performance in a role that you
know Leslie Odom originated and
73
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,800
has become, I don't know,
probably the most sought-after
74
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,900
role on Broadway right now like
it He wins a Tony for the thing,
75
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:06,900
like it's an incredible role.
It is so nuanced and so layered
76
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:09,900
and I feel like the more you
watch Leslie, Odom in that
77
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:12,300
performance especially now that
we have like the movie version
78
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:15,400
to watch.
It's it's got to be so hard to
79
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,700
pull off that character because
there's so much more going on
80
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,500
internally with Burr than there
is with somebody like Hamilton.
81
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,500
Who's just expressing himself
out loud all the time.
82
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:29,300
Yeah what's it like to try to
dig into this role that you know
83
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:33,200
you have To express so much,
internal to someone that's
84
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,700
sitting in the back row of the
theater.
85
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,800
One of my favorite quotes about
the difference between theater
86
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,100
acting and like, TV acting as
from Denzel.
87
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,500
And he basically said that
there's no difference.
88
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:51,600
You either tell the truth or you
don't hmmm, and it's funny like,
89
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,400
well, you know, will I've seen,
like, reviews or and stuff like
90
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,500
that.
I don't try not to bother too
91
00:04:57,500 --> 00:05:00,700
much with with critics opinions,
and stuff like that, but I'll
92
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:05,200
see reviews sometimes I do stay
like, you know, did You know,
93
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,800
like level of expression wasn't
big enough for you.
94
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,000
No, it didn't.
It didn't feel like the energy
95
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,500
was as big as it should be and I
don't think, you know, not to
96
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:17,700
criticize critics or anything
like that, but if you watch the
97
00:05:17,707 --> 00:05:21,000
whole show and you got through
room, where it happens and wait
98
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,800
for it, and satisfied, and all
of the bangers.
99
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,200
And you think that the show is
not big enough, you just weren't
100
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:33,200
dialed in, you know.
So it, you know, it feeds the
101
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,800
actors don't Much, you know, not
not that.
102
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,700
I try to rely on the text or
anything like that, but it's
103
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,800
there's so much meat on the bone
and one of those like a runaway
104
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,700
train, if you if you blink you
you've missed, you know, a huge
105
00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:51,900
chunk sometimes.
And I just try to do my best to,
106
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,600
to stay on my toes and be as
present as possible with my
107
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:03,900
classmates and bring real like
joy and I love to the stage.
108
00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:06,600
You know because people only
like to watch people who are
109
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,900
enjoying themselves do anything.
Yeah, absolutely.
110
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,500
Yeah I wonder though like I'm
thinking about what you said
111
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:17,400
about how if you blink in the
middle of Hamilton if you yawn
112
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,500
for like three or four seconds
you've missed like at least 800
113
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:27,800
words worth of content right.
And so like what you know you've
114
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,000
been performing this for a
little while now.
115
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:33,800
What still surprises you in the
text itself?
116
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,800
Like as you work through the
material night after night, is
117
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,800
there anything that that like
recently has hit you?
118
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,900
Where you're like, man, this
line is just hitting me in a
119
00:06:41,907 --> 00:06:45,900
different way than it had, you
know, the the past few months of
120
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:49,900
performing it.
You know, there's so many ways
121
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:53,800
that Hamilton can change.
It is so adaptable to the times,
122
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:57,700
any one thing happens happens in
our political space, in the
123
00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:00,400
show, takes on a new color.
Something happens in our
124
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,400
personal lives in the show,
takes on the new color, I don't
125
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,700
know.
Like A whole pandemic happens
126
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:13,300
and it shows, you know, changes
and it's it's really easy to
127
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:16,900
just keep your ears and your
eyes and your heart open to the,
128
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:22,100
to the, to the show.
So you know, I'll find new
129
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:27,400
things to kind of point at as as
the narrator and new things to
130
00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:29,700
to emphasize in my text and
stuff.
131
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,100
Like the one thing that I found
really interesting is I'm
132
00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:37,600
probably like Like somewhere
around 400 performances or
133
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,800
three, 300 and change or
something like that.
134
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,400
And The the line is I know you
don't.
135
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,800
Yes, I do.
Now be sensible from what I hear
136
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,300
you made yourself indispensable
and then two nights ago I just
137
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:54,300
leaned into the pain and
indispensable.
138
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:56,100
Hmm.
And you've been using your pen.
139
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:58,200
Yeah.
You know like a little bitty
140
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,300
thing I don't know if anybody
caught it but I just like you
141
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:04,500
know, one of those I guess like,
kind of dad joke.
142
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,200
Yeah, it's good for me.
I hope somebody else got it.
143
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,300
Now, that's incredible, man.
I can't imagine you know, what
144
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:14,500
you do it.
So often that you probably have
145
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:17,600
to have something on stage to
keep yourself from just getting
146
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,400
wrote with it but finding
something like that where you're
147
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,000
just, you know, I'm going to put
emphasis on this word a little
148
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,600
bit different.
It you have to find something to
149
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,300
spice it up a little bit, but I
imagine, it has to be a huge
150
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:32,900
challenge with something like
Hamilton, where everything
151
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,299
depends on the meter.
Everything depends on the Rhythm
152
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,900
and hitting certain beats.
This the exact same way, every
153
00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:41,400
time, I'm because otherwise the
songs don't work.
154
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,900
Like it's there's so much
intricacy to how these songs are
155
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:49,000
fit together.
That I mean, it's got to be as
156
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,300
much a verbal and mental workout
as it is a physical one on
157
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:55,600
stage.
Oh, yeah, I mean, the only
158
00:08:56,100 --> 00:09:01,000
there's only a few composers who
write this really, in this
159
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,900
really dense way you got like,
fine, Hime Roald Dahl lin-manuel
160
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,500
jrb gets into the pad.
Stuff sometimes e and but in
161
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:18,900
this show it really is all of
the devices of theater and and
162
00:09:18,900 --> 00:09:24,500
live performance kind of coming
together and each moment is like
163
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:28,800
like Rich layered.
Take if you bite off too much,
164
00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:30,600
you know, you're not really
enjoying it.
165
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,700
So I think I when I'm in the
show, it's more about just like
166
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:36,600
I said, keeping my eyes and
heart open.
167
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:41,700
Being open to the moment.
I don't really have any Grand
168
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:47,400
like design that I'm trying to
effect in every show that I, you
169
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,300
know, that I go on for.
I'm really just trying to stay
170
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:54,000
as present as possible to allow
the job to do what it wants to
171
00:09:54,008 --> 00:09:57,600
do that night.
And really be, you know, be a
172
00:09:57,608 --> 00:10:00,400
vessel in a sense.
Injured.
173
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,100
I'm like fascinated at this idea
of like three, four, five
174
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:07,200
hundred performances, you know,
with the same cast and crew for
175
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,300
the most part, you know, people
kind of come and go.
176
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:12,900
But like I think about the fact
that you played Simba on The
177
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:17,500
Lion King in the past and your
co-star here, turia Campbell she
178
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:20,800
played Nala in Lion King, I
don't believe it was at the same
179
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,100
time.
But like how, how tight-knit is
180
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:29,500
the the Broadway Community?
You know that you guys all work?
181
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:34,000
Is same musicals and you are
with each other for, you know,
182
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,600
month after month and sometimes
year after year, like how
183
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,700
special is it to be able to
perform in these Arts with these
184
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:44,300
people who you're around all the
time?
185
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,500
I mean, I'll tell you I'll tell
you the most recent experience
186
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:50,500
that I've had that's
mind-boggling three of my
187
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:55,300
castmates.
I knew since they were like 16.
188
00:10:55,300 --> 00:10:58,000
Hmm.
Oh my gosh, I was a little bit
189
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,700
older And one of them who just
debuted last week, I've known
190
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:08,800
since he was nine.
Wow, so the not the guy who I
191
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,300
knew since he was nine.
I was his day, count day camp,
192
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:17,700
counselor.
And the other two went, a one
193
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:21,000
went to my high school and then
the other one I performed with
194
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,900
when he was 16 hours 25 and so
for us to all to be onstage at
195
00:11:24,908 --> 00:11:28,700
the same time, it really is just
as a testament to, you know, how
196
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:32,200
small the Community is but also
how tighten it is.
197
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:36,500
We're able to see excellence and
other people and continue to
198
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:39,500
like encourage and feed people.
And that was probably like the
199
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:42,300
biggest, the best gift that I
could have received this year,
200
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:46,700
was to be able to see some of
the younger guys who came up
201
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:49,800
behind, are coming up behind me,
just we're in the same
202
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,800
generation but there are few
years behind me.
203
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,400
For them to have a level of
success of success that they've
204
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,500
had.
Yeah.
205
00:11:57,500 --> 00:12:00,200
And when we have like my
classmate and Keisha Williams,
206
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,800
who I did call the purple with
and a couple of my Dino turia
207
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,000
did Lion King.
And I have so many connections
208
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,400
with different cast, mates and
cast members across the Hamill
209
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,600
verse and across the theater,
the theater world.
210
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,300
You know, you never quite alone
in theater world.
211
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:20,800
Yeah, honestly the way you're
talking about seeing these guys
212
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,900
come up that you've known since
they they were 916.
213
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,700
It kind of made me think about
how like in the NBA there's so
214
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:32,500
many Young Guns who are like
young stars who are like yeah I
215
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:37,700
remember when LeBron like came
to our a you games and like he
216
00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:40,300
was the greatest player, the
universe and now I'm playing
217
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:41,900
against him.
Right?
218
00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:44,800
And I guess I just bring that up
to say you'd like must be the
219
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,800
LeBron James of the musical
Universe.
220
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:54,100
I mean, I'm not quite ready yet
but Your hairlines not receding
221
00:12:54,100 --> 00:13:00,200
like his compared to go one.
A all right call him.
222
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:04,700
Yeah I'm a Michael Jordan fan
but being compared to him I'll
223
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:06,900
take it.
Well you're talking to to
224
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:07,900
Cleveland boy.
Wow.
225
00:13:07,900 --> 00:13:12,300
Actually I'm the Cleveland boy.
Bob is an Akron guy so you might
226
00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:16,100
get we might get into it.
Yeah like I can practically see
227
00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:18,900
LeBrons house from here.
I'm like you know you gotta come
228
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:21,100
like it's walk on eggshells a
little bit.
229
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:23,000
When you're talking about whose
The goat around us.
230
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,600
Hey, I'm accepting them all.
All, viable, goat Converse.
231
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,900
There you go.
Listen.
232
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:34,100
As long as you can make a case.
I'll entertain it right.
233
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,800
All right.
Let's talk a little bit about
234
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,700
your history Jared because
you're you know you're acting
235
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:40,500
like you're the Elder Statesman
here but you're still a young
236
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:43,600
buck like you just I mean I've
seen you talk about the role of
237
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,000
Simba in The Lion King as quite
possibly the most prominent and
238
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,200
most challenging role.
That's a young person can play.
239
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,100
How did you get here?
Came from Queens.
240
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:57,400
You've liked you, you're the son
of Broadway royalty in a number
241
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,300
of ways, like it's an incredible
journey and I just I want our
242
00:14:01,300 --> 00:14:03,000
audience to be able to hear a
little bit about it.
243
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,500
Yeah, I mean, the long story
short is, I grew up being near
244
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:10,900
the theater because my dad was a
performer as well.
245
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:15,000
And he's a classical, classical
singer and also made his
246
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,800
Broadway debut and Ragtime the
musical in the 90s, and I grew
247
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,300
up knowing knowing that knowing
that I wanted to do something
248
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:28,900
different, but not knowing
exactly what it was and I found
249
00:14:28,900 --> 00:14:33,800
performance later.
And my young adult years.
250
00:14:34,300 --> 00:14:38,300
After I graduated college
College, I started auditioning.
251
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:42,200
I got my first job in Boston as
well at fiddlehead theater.
252
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,000
I did Ragtime the completely
full circle moment and I played
253
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,500
the role of Booker T Washington,
which my dad understudy on
254
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:54,200
Broadway as well.
And I really just dedicated the
255
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,900
past 10 years of my life, since
I, you know, started performing
256
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:05,300
professionally to getting better
at every turn and making sure
257
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:12,000
that every opportunity I take is
a step up, not just in in
258
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,000
profile but just in an internal
and fulfillment and personal
259
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,900
fulfillment.
And that's, that's guided me
260
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:24,700
really well, I'd really Only
care about being one of the best
261
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:27,800
to ever do it.
Or, you know, I'm that's up to
262
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,500
other people to decide.
You know.
263
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:33,800
I'm going to attempt and try my
best and give all that.
264
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,300
I got to be as good as I
possibly can at this thing.
265
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,800
Yeah, yeah.
I mean I think that's a great
266
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,300
point because there's a lot of
people out there that that have
267
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:48,400
the ambition to play a role like
Burr or a row like Simba and
268
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,000
probably have the energy and
maybe have the stamina.
269
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:53,700
Anna.
But there's so much that goes
270
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:57,300
into I don't know like having
the experience the life
271
00:15:57,300 --> 00:16:00,600
experience and also honing your
craft.
272
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,900
Like I can't imagine that, you
know, if this musical had
273
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:06,800
existed 10 years ago and you
look at where you were 10 years
274
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,600
ago, that you would think that
you'd be as effective as I
275
00:16:09,608 --> 00:16:13,400
remember as you are today.
And, you know, I guess my
276
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,300
question then is like, how do
you see yourself growing as an
277
00:16:17,300 --> 00:16:20,900
actor and how do you see your
life experiences in?
278
00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:25,000
Are those two things intertwine
does your ability to convey
279
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,500
these deeper emotions come from,
just the fact that you've seen
280
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:30,800
more of the world since then,
you know what I mean?
281
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,900
It's a part of a necessary
self-awareness that I think I've
282
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
always had.
I've always had the ability to
283
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,800
look around and be honest with
myself, not for the sake of
284
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,600
comparison to other people, but
just to stay.
285
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:50,900
When I see somebody do something
that's incredible.
286
00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:54,300
Well, I'll look Within Myself
and say, oh, I can't do that
287
00:16:54,300 --> 00:16:58,800
when I'm I can get there.
Mhm, I'll look and say, I don't
288
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,200
have that whatever they just
did, right.
289
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,300
Like, you know, I remember the
first time I saw Joshua Henry on
290
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:08,000
Broadway, in a poor game best.
Hmm.
291
00:17:08,099 --> 00:17:12,800
He was the person who I looked
at it and said, that is what I
292
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,400
want to do.
I'm not quite there yet, but I
293
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,700
need to figure out how to do
that.
294
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:19,900
And I didn't, you know, now I'm
at the point where I am doing it
295
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:23,099
in my own and my own Way in
figuring things out for myself.
296
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:27,200
But like I said, it's just a
necessary self-awareness that I
297
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,200
think I picked up doing other
things.
298
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,000
Playing basketball running
track.
299
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:34,700
You know, I'm naturally
competitive by Nature.
300
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,300
I really just want to be the
best and I'm I wouldn't say I'm
301
00:17:40,300 --> 00:17:43,500
like, Kobe Bryant obsessive with
may be wrong.
302
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:47,000
I don't know.
Jose not many people are in the
303
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:47,900
mom, right?
Right.
304
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:50,600
You know, 3:00 4:00 in the
morning.
305
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:55,100
But I can be when necessary when
I when I find something like
306
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,000
when I find a need to go that
far to do things, that's where I
307
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000
go.
Yeah.
308
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,400
And and I take that approach
with everything in my life, even
309
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,500
about being a husband without
being a future dead and being a
310
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:11,700
dog owner.
Yeah, so it's, you know, how you
311
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:13,700
do anything is kind of how you
do everything with me.
312
00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:19,300
And I've always just been about
following my passion and and
313
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:20,900
making sure that I express my
passion.
314
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:24,700
And through, you know, through
my work and I think it shows,
315
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:29,900
you know, it started to show
better on stage with experience,
316
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:32,600
you know, because I'm more, I
trust myself more than I ever
317
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,300
had Jared.
That might be the best quote to
318
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:41,200
come out of our podcast.
How you do, anything is how you
319
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,000
do, everything Taya.
Take that home filming whiskey
320
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Nation.
That's, that's a, that's a good
321
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,500
one to think on absolutely
Jared.
322
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:51,200
I don't mean to make you, you
know, no.
323
00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:54,000
Speak it into existence here or
name it, and claim it or
324
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
anything.
But you know, everyone has like
325
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
a bucket list of man.
I'd really like to get on stage
326
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,600
and sing that song Someday, or
I'd really like to be in that
327
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,300
show some day and I imagine that
some of them you're keeping you
328
00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:07,700
know, locked up and you're not
going to speak it out loud.
329
00:19:07,700 --> 00:19:11,000
But like, what are some of the
ones on your, on your bucket
330
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,300
list?
Yeah, yeah.
331
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:18,400
I'll say it in case some
producer, somewhere, some ideas.
332
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,700
So number one, Was Burr.
Hmm, let's go.
333
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,100
That's off the list.
Bobby and Company.
334
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,200
Nice.
I was just going to say, so
335
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,600
everyone's Gotta Sing being
alive at some point.
336
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:35,500
Right.
Are some point?
337
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:38,600
Yeah, it's like, you know, like
a theater party trick.
338
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,400
For, if you're very tender, I
was gonna say like an Adam
339
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,400
Driver can do it in marriage
story.
340
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:50,500
Like, you can do it, good luck.
Yeah, say Bobby and Company is
341
00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:54,200
probably up there really
identified with that show.
342
00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:58,900
It's weird to say, you know, to
say, I identify with That show
343
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:04,000
at like 2019 but I really did
hopefully at some point I'll get
344
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,600
that opportunity for that.
I would also say above that
345
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:13,600
would be a role to originate
something I want to originate
346
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,900
something that's just as deep
and nuanced as Burr whether it
347
00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:22,600
be a villain or a you know a
tragic hero or something like
348
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,200
that.
Trying to think of other theater
349
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,400
Cannon things that I would love
to touch I like, I like Hermes
350
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,600
and Hades town about nice.
Yeah, type that as well.
351
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,000
I know, they kind of, they cast
older actors in that role but I
352
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,800
think it'd be fun to do.
Yeah, there's not many that I'm
353
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,500
really like, I don't know.
Berber really was like, kind of
354
00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:48,400
bird, was it?
Yeah, for me.
355
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,700
And so, I have to, once I'm done
putting on the details, I have
356
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:54,700
to re-evaluate and see what's
next.
357
00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:57,400
I mean, Bobby's fell out there,
of course, what's the song with
358
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,800
Birth that made you want to
chase it like this.
359
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,400
Wait for it usually.
Yeah.
360
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,200
Wait for it is maybe the most
slept on song in the whole show
361
00:21:05,300 --> 00:21:10,200
like it I know in any other show
we'd say that is the showstopper
362
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,200
but because this show has room
where it happens and one last
363
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,200
time and satisfied every like I
feel like wait for it, gets
364
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,800
buried in people's mind
sometimes and it is, you know,
365
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,100
we talk all the time Brad when
we talk about movie musicals and
366
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:26,200
the way that shows are
structured about a character,
367
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,600
having a song that's called like
I want song and that's Burrs I
368
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,800
want song but it's so much
deeper than just an I won
369
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,300
because he expresses that kind
of thing later on in room where
370
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:39,200
it happens to.
But it's his whole motivation,
371
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,200
it's I'm doing everything
methodically because everything
372
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,500
around me falls apart and I want
to be able to control my destiny
373
00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:51,100
and it I feel like it makes Burr
even more of a tragic figure.
374
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,500
Like there's just there's so
much in that song aside from
375
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:58,200
just the vocals that that really
drive that ER forward.
376
00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:05,000
Yeah, I had a friend who we had
a debate about whether that is
377
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,600
and I want song or not, and I
did believe that.
378
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,300
But then I came to the
realization performing it that
379
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:14,300
it's an it's more of an identity
song.
380
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:20,000
Hmm, everyone else in the show
gets introduced Burr, introduces
381
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,100
himself.
Yeah.
382
00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:23,900
And the first thing he says, is
on the damn fool that shot him,
383
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:27,400
but we don't get to really know
who he is, as a, as a stone.
384
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,500
Soul as a human being with a
soul until wait for it.
385
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:38,300
And I think the things that he's
staying about himself in that
386
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:41,500
song are things that we all
questioned our wide.
387
00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:47,400
Why do I do anything out here
like why do I go to this job?
388
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,200
Why do I am I love with this
person.
389
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:57,200
Why did I get this dog?
You know and What he's really
390
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,700
questioning is the very nature
and fabric of what, he's been
391
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:05,000
taught in what he's, come from
and whether that's enough to
392
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,600
sustain him and at that point in
his life, he decides that it
393
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,100
isn't that it's enough, the way
that he's doing things is
394
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:16,300
enough, but you just see the
chink in the armor because it's
395
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,400
through the lens of comparison.
Mmm, that's what makes it so
396
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,700
tragic, because he says all
these beautiful things about
397
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:28,300
this Legacy that he's, he's Come
from the the second verse.
398
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:30,700
My grandfather was a fire and
brimstone preacher.
399
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:34,600
My mother was a genius.
My father commanded respect, but
400
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,800
he's talking about the Legacy
that he comes from, and his deep
401
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:43,200
love that he has for Theodosia,
and it seems so beautiful to
402
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,500
audience.
It's like the color yellow and
403
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:48,200
Van.
Gogh, you know, if you watch, if
404
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,800
you read, if you see any Van
Gogh painting, you say, oh,
405
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,800
that's a beautiful yellow flower
and you find out that yellow Is
406
00:23:55,808 --> 00:23:58,300
the color that he used to
signify the darkness in his
407
00:23:58,300 --> 00:23:59,200
soul.
Wow.
408
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,300
And then the depth of his pain
and it changes the way you see
409
00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:07,100
anything?
And so that's kind of what wait
410
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:09,000
for it is.
It's that beautiful painting.
411
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,600
But then you find out the secret
meaning behind it.
412
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,800
At the end, you realize this
guy's got some things to work on
413
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,600
my behalf, you know, as we all
do.
414
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:20,900
Yeah.
Yeah.
415
00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:25,200
And I think that's what I love
most about Hamilton is that it
416
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,700
takes These characters from
history that if we're being
417
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:32,400
really honest, I would guess
without the musical Hamilton
418
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,500
seventy to eighty percent of
Americans, wouldn't even know
419
00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:39,900
who these people were beyond.
The fact that they were American
420
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:44,100
history figures, right?
And yet it takes them and it
421
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:48,200
reminds us that, you know, we
get so caught up in our own
422
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,300
lives and our own day-to-day
things.
423
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:54,300
And assuming that all, you know,
politicians have are evil or
424
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:57,700
they're perfectly good.
You know, we do all this and yet
425
00:24:57,700 --> 00:24:59,800
something like Hamilton takes
all of that.
426
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:05,300
And says, hey all throughout
history, people are just people.
427
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:11,100
They want to be known and loved
and understood and safe and they
428
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:13,900
want to be able to provide those
things for the people that they
429
00:25:13,900 --> 00:25:16,800
love.
And whether you're a politician
430
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,600
in the, you know, Seventeen
eighteen hundreds.
431
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,500
Or you're just an average
citizen trying to live through a
432
00:25:22,508 --> 00:25:26,400
pandemic, like those are things
that we can all relate. 82 and I
433
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,600
think that's what Hamilton does.
Well it's a it's a cautionary
434
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:36,400
Tale.
It's an old to the beautiful
435
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,200
Florida, beautifully flawed
experiment that is America and
436
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,700
it's kind of a testament to
humanity.
437
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,800
It's a plea for Humanity in some
ways because the truth is at the
438
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:54,500
end of this show, you know, Burr
is able to say, if I had just
439
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,100
Weighted hem.
If I had listened to myself,
440
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:04,200
I've had trusted myself enough.
I might have seen that there was
441
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,000
space enough for both of us and
that is that's the most
442
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,000
beautiful walk-off home run, you
know, but I don't think I've
443
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,900
ever seen in a museum was for
him to drop his ego.
444
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:18,100
At the end.
Right?
445
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:23,500
And just say, you know, Yeah,
I'm trash and we all are, but
446
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:26,400
that's that's like the most
beautiful thing for me about the
447
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,000
way that show ends is you
finally understand the link
448
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,400
between Burr and Hamilton, is
that in their own ways.
449
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,800
They both tried to be the
masters of their fate.
450
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,100
They both tried to write their
own Legend and I don't think
451
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:43,200
either of them realized until it
was too late.
452
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,100
And that's when, you know,
Washington comes back on at the
453
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:49,300
end and starts starts, you have
no control who lives, who dies,
454
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:51,800
who tells your story?
Like the final reminder of this
455
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,200
musical is like, you can try as
much as you want to be the
456
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,600
master of your fate.
But the way your story gets told
457
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,800
is not up to you and it shifts
in those final moments to
458
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,300
talking about Eliza this person
who we don't know anything about
459
00:27:04,300 --> 00:27:07,900
really and who had no chance to
tell her own story and like
460
00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:10,500
that's what Lynn's doing at the
end of the story is he's like,
461
00:27:10,500 --> 00:27:13,400
I'm going to, I'm going to tell
the legend of this person now
462
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,500
and I think it says a lot about
like what you guys are saying,
463
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:22,300
it's really instructive to How
much are you going to waste your
464
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:24,300
energy?
Trying to construct your own
465
00:27:24,300 --> 00:27:26,600
Legend and narrative?
And how much are you going to
466
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,600
accept the fact that like you
have no control over that at
467
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,000
all?
Yeah, I mean if you're if you're
468
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:38,300
reading a lot of Eckhart Tolle
right now and birds I think he
469
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:44,400
would categorize Burr as someone
who's egotistical e steeped in
470
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:49,200
his past and future.
Hmm never quite in the present
471
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,400
because he's always waiting
Hamilton's never quite in the
472
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,000
present because he's always
planning, you know, and that
473
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,500
ends up being the foil of both
of them Bert in the story, at
474
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:05,700
least that, you know, I can't,
I've read enough, but I I've
475
00:28:05,700 --> 00:28:08,700
read enough to know that I know
nothing about burned.
476
00:28:08,900 --> 00:28:13,100
You know about anyone will not
accept vision is histories that
477
00:28:13,100 --> 00:28:14,900
thing.
And, you know, I wasn't there.
478
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:16,800
So I'll never know the truth,
right?
479
00:28:17,300 --> 00:28:24,500
I know that in the story.
He's so um, seemingly concerned
480
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,800
with upholding this Legacy and
being right?
481
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,900
And being a part of the thing
that he doesn't necessarily you
482
00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:40,200
know the most beautiful parts of
his show are non-stop to me when
483
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:45,900
he's you know he's at home &
Hamilton's like hey come kick
484
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:46,600
up.
Dirt with me.
485
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,500
He's like no I think I'm good.
I think that's a good.
486
00:28:49,900 --> 00:28:52,600
If the show ends their bird
probably goes off and lives a
487
00:28:52,608 --> 00:28:54,500
great happy life somewhere.
Right?
488
00:28:58,700 --> 00:29:01,400
You know by the end of the song,
He's like questioning again, for
489
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:07,100
whatever reason.
Yeah so it's I guess like we
490
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:11,000
said so much meat on the bone.
Yeah well and we could honestly
491
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,400
go on talking about it for
another three hours but I think
492
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,900
what we need to do now is Bob
and I are going to go.
493
00:29:17,900 --> 00:29:21,400
We're going to review the
Beverly High rye whiskey.
494
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,700
And then we're going to come
back and talk with Jared about
495
00:29:24,700 --> 00:29:28,900
our top five movie musicals, so
get ready for that Whiskey
496
00:29:28,900 --> 00:29:30,800
Review.
And then we'll be back with our
497
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:38,600
top five movie musicals.
All right, so today we are
498
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,900
checking out the Beverly
high-rise II American whiskey
499
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:44,400
Brad.
This is called an American
500
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,400
whiskey not just a ride because
it's not technically a bourbon.
501
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,100
It's not technically a rye.
It is a blend of straight rye
502
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:55,400
and straight bourbon.
So you know, it probably works
503
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,500
out that there is still more
corn in the overall Mash bill
504
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:00,700
here than there is anything
else, but it can't be called a
505
00:30:00,708 --> 00:30:02,900
bourbon legally because it's
Blended.
506
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000
So you know what, I'm okay with
it since it's a Melting Pot, Bob
507
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,100
Just like America.
That's right.
508
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,800
Yeah, man.
This one is coming out of Cedar
509
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,000
Ridge.
Winery & distillery in Cedar,
510
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,800
Rapids, Iowa.
Fun fact where my family is
511
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,200
from.
Yeah, yeah.
512
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,500
Yeah, man.
We've had a couple of their
513
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:24,700
products on the show before I
love Cedar Ridge so I'm very
514
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:27,400
excited about it.
Yeah, this is a blend of
515
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,100
Whiskey's that come from Cedar
Ridge and from Indiana.
516
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,400
So if you can guess where the
whiskey and Indiana is coming
517
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,100
from, you'd probably be right.
I'm super excited about this,
518
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:37,900
man.
I've seen this It'll all over
519
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:41,200
Instagram.
It is a very picturesque bottle,
520
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,700
like it's a really nice one to
have on your bar, really draws
521
00:30:44,700 --> 00:30:46,800
attention to itself.
I'm hoping that the whiskey
522
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,900
inside the bottle is every bit
as good as the packaging on the
523
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:52,400
outside.
Brad, you actually did a little
524
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,300
bit more research on this than I
have.
525
00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:55,800
So, why don't you walk us
through?
526
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,300
What you've found out about this
whiskey?
527
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:04,700
Yeah, so this this whiskey is
coming in at 96 proof and they
528
00:31:04,700 --> 00:31:06,400
have already won a few Metals
Bob.
529
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,800
They've won a gold medal.
At the San Francisco World
530
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,100
Spirits competition as well as
the New York.
531
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:15,600
We World Spirits competition, so
the Beverly knows how to blend
532
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,100
some whiskey Coast-to-Coast,
awards for the Beverly.
533
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,200
That's right.
All right.
534
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,800
Let's jump in, man.
But, do you picking up on the
535
00:31:22,808 --> 00:31:24,500
nose here?
Oh man.
536
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,700
You know what?
I just realized it reminds me.
537
00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:32,900
A little bit of the outlands
scotch that you got us a while
538
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:36,300
back, really.
It literally just hit me.
539
00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:39,500
I like, I've already taken.
Taking my notes but yeah, it has
540
00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:45,300
like this, this sweet cherry
licorice knows that's mixed with
541
00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:48,800
like a cream of wheat, some
caramel, some black pepper.
542
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,500
It's a really really nice knows
Bob.
543
00:31:51,500 --> 00:31:54,600
Yeah, I think pepper is a really
great note to bring out on this
544
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,300
one.
It does smell like a bourbon.
545
00:31:56,300 --> 00:31:58,800
It smells like a high ride
bourbon, which I expected when
546
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,300
it's called the Beverly, High
Rye.
547
00:32:00,700 --> 00:32:02,700
So there's a lot of that Rice
spice on the front.
548
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:04,100
There's a lot of that
pepperiness.
549
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:07,600
I get a little bit of like a
Coca-Cola kind of Essence on
550
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,000
this one.
I like it a lot, not super
551
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,900
complex on the nose but it tells
me that it's going to be sweet
552
00:32:13,900 --> 00:32:17,600
but with a little bit of a kick
from that pepperiness when I get
553
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,100
into the taste here Brad, I'm a
little bit surprised that it's
554
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:22,700
not quite as sweet on the
palate.
555
00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:26,800
As I was expecting it to be and
it almost has a little maltiness
556
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,000
to it and I don't know if
there's any malt in any of the
557
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,700
mash bills that they're blending
here but when you said it
558
00:32:33,700 --> 00:32:35,900
reminded you of a scotch, that's
where my mind went.
559
00:32:35,900 --> 00:32:39,100
Is that on the Latt.
It's a little multi-year than it
560
00:32:39,100 --> 00:32:39,800
is.
Sweet.
561
00:32:39,900 --> 00:32:42,500
Yeah, it definitely came across
his creamy.
562
00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:45,900
For me, there is still some of
that cherry lingering from the
563
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:48,200
nose.
Then it got kind of minty at the
564
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,400
back end and I thought it was a
really really nice palette, mmm.
565
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:55,800
And when you get into the finish
here, it gets into a really
566
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,800
beautiful toasted Oak.
There's some marshmallow flavor
567
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,700
going on and for me, it almost
left a little bit of like an
568
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:09,900
angostura bitters flavor that
Almost got sour, like, my first
569
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:12,000
sip.
It almost got sour at the back
570
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,800
end, but the more I sat with it
and drank it, the more, it kind
571
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:20,400
of evened out into just that,
that angostura feel there's
572
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,100
quite a bit of smokiness on
this, and I wouldn't call it
573
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,500
like Pete, but it reminds me of
non peated scotches and how they
574
00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:30,200
still have that kind of like, a
wisp of campfire.
575
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,400
Smoke about them.
This has that, it's like minty
576
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,100
and Smoky.
At the same time, it definitely
577
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:39,200
turns.
A little bitter not sour but a
578
00:33:39,208 --> 00:33:42,200
little bit on the more Bitter
End of things on the finish.
579
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:44,600
I liked your note of angostura
bitters for me.
580
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,600
It doesn't quite have that level
of complexity to it, but
581
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:52,000
everything seems to be
consistent like that black
582
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,100
pepper E&R.
I note that I got on the nose,
583
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:57,800
really did a good job of
preparing me for where this was
584
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,100
going to go because otherwise I
would have thought this was
585
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:02,200
going to be way sweeter than it
is on the palate.
586
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,600
Yeah.
Bob this I mean the balance I
587
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,800
think that this is like Above
average complexity that has
588
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:14,600
really nice flavors throughout.
This is a really good whiskey,
589
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,400
man.
Alright, let's talk a little bit
590
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,000
about the price point on this
because you told me that you're
591
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,000
seeing at retailing for about
what $59.
592
00:34:22,699 --> 00:34:24,199
Yeah, 60 bucks.
All right.
593
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:27,800
So again I don't want to call it
a craft whiskey, but it is
594
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,199
coming from a smaller craft,
Distillery, at least some of
595
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:32,100
what they're sourcing is in
Cedar Ridge.
596
00:34:32,699 --> 00:34:35,600
And I like Cedar Ridge is stuff.
They're putting it in a really
597
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,900
nice bottle.
The packaging is Is like
598
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:42,300
Stellar, you know?
Just for $60 man.
599
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:45,500
It's like I would probably
recommend some other whiskies
600
00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:50,000
that I like better than this but
I also want to say that I don't
601
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,000
think this is overpriced like I
think it's a it's a fair value
602
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,500
for what you're getting.
Could it be a little bit cheaper
603
00:34:56,500 --> 00:35:00,300
and get a little bit of a higher
score on my my metric
604
00:35:00,500 --> 00:35:03,100
definitely.
But I also don't think that this
605
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:04,900
is like astronomically
overpriced.
606
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,400
No I think if I was Giving it a
value score.
607
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,000
I'd probably give it like a
seven.
608
00:35:11,100 --> 00:35:16,800
I think it should be, man.
If this was like, $42.
609
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,800
I think it'd be like a 9 out of
10 value.
610
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,500
Yeah.
But then you're asking them to
611
00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:25,700
get their price know, 100%?
I think maybe 50 to 55 dollars,
612
00:35:25,700 --> 00:35:28,800
might be a better price point,
but you know, 60 bucks it's
613
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,800
fine.
If I was scoring this out of 50
614
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,900
and, you know, including the
value score, I think I'd
615
00:35:33,900 --> 00:35:36,900
probably sit at like a 38 out of
50.
616
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:41,800
Like, I really nice experience
that I would probably recommend
617
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,600
buying a bottle.
Yeah, honestly, that the the
618
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,500
know what you're getting into.
Yeah, the packaging on this.
619
00:35:47,700 --> 00:35:50,100
Definitely takes it up a notch
for me and usually, we're not
620
00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:53,700
swayed by packaging but when I'm
on the fence about whether or
621
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:56,500
not to recommend the whiskey
itself, if you can have
622
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:58,700
something that's going to be a
conversation piece and going to
623
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:00,800
be eye-catching and it's only
going to cost you a couple more
624
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,000
dollars.
I'm all in on that and they
625
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,800
clearly put thought and effort
into the packaging here it's a
626
00:36:05,808 --> 00:36:08,400
custom-made bottle.
The labels really beautiful.
627
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,800
I love the color scheme on it.
So like absolutely, I'm going to
628
00:36:11,808 --> 00:36:13,600
go ahead and give this one a
stamp of approval.
629
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:14,600
Brad.
I don't know about you.
630
00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:18,900
Yeah. 100% if you find some
Beverly high-rise out there in
631
00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:22,000
the wild I would snag it
immediately.
632
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,700
All right man, let's get back
into talking with Jared, Dixon
633
00:36:24,700 --> 00:36:26,000
from Hamilton.
What do you say?
634
00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:32,200
Let's get to it.
Alright, so that was the
635
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,700
Beverly, High, Rye American
whiskey.
636
00:36:34,700 --> 00:36:36,500
We want to say thank you again
for this bottle.
637
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:39,300
We are getting back into our
conversation with Jared Dixon,
638
00:36:39,300 --> 00:36:43,100
who's currently on tour with
Hamilton as Aaron Burr and we're
639
00:36:43,100 --> 00:36:47,200
talking about our top five movie
musicals now, Brad.
640
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,200
I don't know how you made your
list up, but I tried to stick
641
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,800
with mine to like, Broadway to
movie adaptations because
642
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,800
there's so many musicals, we
could just do.
643
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,100
Yeah, you know, like Singing in
the Rain existed as a movie
644
00:37:01,100 --> 00:37:02,900
musical?
Well, before it was ever a show
645
00:37:02,900 --> 00:37:05,700
on Broadway.
So, like, for the most part, I
646
00:37:05,707 --> 00:37:09,000
did sneak one in here.
That's just a movie, but I tried
647
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,100
to go the Broadway route.
I don't know, guys.
648
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,300
Did you have trouble picking
just five, or is it like a
649
00:37:15,308 --> 00:37:18,800
pretty clear-cut list for you?
I mean, I don't even know if
650
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,300
Jarrod would be able to pick
five.
651
00:37:20,300 --> 00:37:22,200
No.
Because it doesn't seem like a
652
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,600
guy that's really steeped in
history of musical.
653
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,800
Now, Bob honestly, I am not like
the biggest musical guy in the
654
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,200
world as far as like history and
knowing them all, but I have
655
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:41,000
some that I've really enjoyed.
I think two of mine actually.
656
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,800
No, I'm pretty sure that to of
mine are Broadway to movie and
657
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,300
three are not.
Okay.
658
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,700
So, Mine are all over the place.
I got some Disney in.
659
00:37:49,700 --> 00:37:54,200
There you go.
As something Broadway to movie
660
00:37:54,300 --> 00:37:58,700
and I don't think I do.
I have any movie too bright?
661
00:37:58,700 --> 00:38:00,400
I don't think I have any movie
to Broadway in there.
662
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,900
Yeah.
See, I will say, I literally
663
00:38:03,900 --> 00:38:09,800
didn't even think about like the
90s Disney movies as musicals,
664
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,900
and yet, like, Bob.
And I were talking and he
665
00:38:11,900 --> 00:38:14,200
mentioned those.
And I was like, oh, I didn't
666
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,000
even think of putting those in
like Beauty.
667
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,900
And the Beast would be, it might
make my top 5 because I just
668
00:38:20,900 --> 00:38:24,700
freaking love that movie, right?
We've had this conversation so
669
00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:26,600
many times.
Brad about like, what makes Some
670
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,600
musical a musical is it?
Yeah.
671
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,600
Does the music have to be
diegetic?
672
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:33,100
Does a movie?
What was the one that we watched
673
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,800
Walk?
The Line, you know, where they
674
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,300
stop the movie 43 minutes or the
Johnny Cash can sing a song
675
00:38:38,300 --> 00:38:38,800
like?
Yep.
676
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,500
Does that make it a musical?
Just because there's a
677
00:38:40,508 --> 00:38:44,100
performance in it, you know.
And so I think yeah the lines
678
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:46,100
get blurred and it's up to
interpretation.
679
00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:48,500
But that's what makes these top
five list so good.
680
00:38:48,500 --> 00:38:51,500
So, I don't know, without
further Ado, let's just we'll go
681
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:55,900
one by one and we'll go from
five to one so Brad, and then
682
00:38:55,900 --> 00:38:58,000
Jared, What are your number five
picks?
683
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:03,200
My number five pick is my yearly
Christmas tradition.
684
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:07,500
I watch this and I watch It's a
Wonderful Life for sure like no
685
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:09,400
other movies, come and go some
years.
686
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,600
I watch Elf the Santa Claus but
every single year I will watch,
687
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,400
It's a Wonderful Life and White
Christmas.
688
00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:20,800
Mmm, I just absolutely love
white Christmas.
689
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,200
I love all the performances.
I think it's got that.
690
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,600
Like when you actually sit down
and watch Shit.
691
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:32,000
It's got so many weird, just
little scenes in the middle of
692
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,500
it, that only makes sense to
people who lived in the 40s and
693
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:37,700
50s and I still don't
understand.
694
00:39:37,900 --> 00:39:41,300
And I just love that, it makes
it feel nostalgic to me.
695
00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:46,900
So I'm a big fan of White.
Christmas number 5, I'm going to
696
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:50,400
stay Coco.
Oh yes, I knew.
697
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,100
I knew I liked this guy for a
reason.
698
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:55,100
Yeah, I was about to say Jared
you just want a best friend for
699
00:39:55,100 --> 00:39:59,600
life and Bob.
Ha ha Coco go so hard, and no
700
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,000
one gets it, like, local ghost,
oh, fuck.
701
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,900
It's I turn that movie on and
like, I'm entertained.
702
00:40:06,900 --> 00:40:09,200
I'm weeping.
All of the emotional roller
703
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,800
coaster that you could possibly
have comes from cocoa.
704
00:40:11,900 --> 00:40:13,100
Like Jared.
You thought you were going to
705
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:15,300
get to talk about coconut.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
706
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:18,200
No, no, you're right.
I'm sorry Jared.
707
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,900
Yeah, why why do you choose
Coco?
708
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:25,600
Oh, I actually had this
conversation with a producer of
709
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,700
Lion King.
If we were talking about the
710
00:40:27,707 --> 00:40:31,600
future of Disney on Broadway, I
was telling him I was like I
711
00:40:31,607 --> 00:40:34,700
don't even know if you guys know
what device has really made Lion
712
00:40:34,700 --> 00:40:40,000
King the phenomenon that it is.
I believe that all of the
713
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:45,800
musicals that are attached to a
culture that we know but don't
714
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,700
have full access and
understanding of are the ones
715
00:40:49,700 --> 00:40:53,200
that are fully expect that
become the most popular.
716
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,100
So like Lion King.
Is attached to Africa.
717
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,600
The Lion King, musical is
attached, deep in a deeper way
718
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,700
to Africa, but the movie is
attached to Africa.
719
00:41:04,700 --> 00:41:10,700
And, and the, you know, that
culture, I think that's what
720
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:13,400
made it to Broadway success.
That it is and cocoa, has that
721
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:18,600
same element with the thing
Mexican culture and all of the
722
00:41:18,607 --> 00:41:22,400
history, round, Dia, de los
Muertos and, you know, the food
723
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:27,500
in the then being shoemakers and
The Mariachis and all that stuff
724
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:32,000
and then on top of that, it's
just written, like it's written.
725
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,900
So, so, so so, so what?
Yeah, The Melodies are
726
00:41:35,900 --> 00:41:39,300
brilliant.
I love how it like, just How It
727
00:41:39,300 --> 00:41:42,900
Ends when she did the, The
Motif, remember, me?
728
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,500
It's like, it's mostly the
remember me, singing, the one
729
00:41:46,500 --> 00:41:49,300
line and remember me is like,
saying, Bing, Bong to anyone who
730
00:41:49,300 --> 00:41:54,600
sees the inside out.
Yeah, this guy gets it, Brad.
731
00:41:54,900 --> 00:41:57,400
Yeah.
Yeah, 100% gets it.
732
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,800
We listen to a Disney piano
playlist to put my daughter to
733
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:06,300
bed and remember me comes on
right after a.
734
00:42:06,300 --> 00:42:10,600
What's the song from Toy Story?
2 jazz is Sarah Mclaughlin one.
735
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,200
Yeah, yes.
It literally is the Sarah
736
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,200
McLachlan song and then remember
me and I'm like, trying to read
737
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,200
a book to my child and like,
trying not to weep.
738
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,800
Well, I'll wreck the moment here
because my number five is not
739
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,500
something that makes Me weep at
least but Brad, it's probably
740
00:42:27,700 --> 00:42:30,900
like one of the only Tim Burton
movies that I've ever actually
741
00:42:30,900 --> 00:42:33,200
enjoyed it.
Like he just doesn't do it for
742
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,500
me as a director, but I love his
adaptation of Sweeney Todd.
743
00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:41,500
Like, dude, it is it's really
good and that I mean again like
744
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:44,100
it's a, you know, when you talk
about Sondheim, like you could
745
00:42:44,100 --> 00:42:48,800
pick a number of different shows
but Sweeney Todd, like the the
746
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,100
show is amazing.
And then the movie itself is
747
00:42:51,100 --> 00:42:55,200
also really, really good and
it's really rare to find move.
748
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:59,600
These that successfully that
succeed as movies, in addition
749
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,700
to just like, hey, here's a
Broadway show.
750
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,500
Like they did something unique
with it.
751
00:43:04,500 --> 00:43:06,300
I thought it held up
artistically.
752
00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:12,300
I really enjoyed Sweeney Todd.
I will, I will actually agree
753
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,200
with any type of definitely on
my list.
754
00:43:14,500 --> 00:43:17,700
Oh, there you go.
Part of all right.
755
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:18,700
Brad.
Why don't you hit us with your
756
00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:21,400
number four?
Yeah, my number 4.
757
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,800
We're going back a little bit in
time.
758
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,900
I'm going to put up my fair.
R lady.
759
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:29,100
Oh nice.
Now I will say this is one.
760
00:43:29,100 --> 00:43:31,800
I have not watched an in quite
some time.
761
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,700
I think the last time I watched
it was probably high school but
762
00:43:34,700 --> 00:43:40,400
I remember just being so drawn
in by the chemistry between
763
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,000
Audrey Hepburn, and I can't
think of the name of the main.
764
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,400
The main male character
Harrison, I mean, yeah.
765
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,100
Movie.
It's Professor hickey.
766
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:50,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Professor Higgins.
767
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,600
Yeah, Rex Harrison and Audrey.
Hepburn are just incredible
768
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:54,800
together.
In that movie.
769
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,900
There was a there was a
production that I want to say it
770
00:43:57,900 --> 00:44:03,500
was like Lincoln Square a couple
years ago and some yeah the guy
771
00:44:03,500 --> 00:44:06,000
that sang on the street where
you live.
772
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,600
I wish I remembered his name.
He was incredible.
773
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,000
Like there's just so many great
numbers in that show.
774
00:44:13,900 --> 00:44:16,700
You know what Jared I'm gonna
let you give your number 4 and
775
00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:18,600
I'm going to Google real quick
who it was that saying that's
776
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,700
awesome.
My number four is very, very
777
00:44:22,700 --> 00:44:25,600
recent, I'm gonna go with the
new Matilda.
778
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:30,900
Oh, I haven't seen it yet.
It is astounding really.
779
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,900
Yes, it is.
A one of the best things that
780
00:44:34,900 --> 00:44:38,300
I've seen I was not say this
year but this business is too
781
00:44:38,300 --> 00:44:44,300
short year as one of the best
musicals I've seen in a while.
782
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:49,000
I'm definitely say that.
Wow, Matt Bob stumped by a
783
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:49,600
guess.
Yeah.
784
00:44:49,700 --> 00:44:51,800
Yeah, this is a rare occurrence,
man.
785
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:56,300
Yeah, I have Jared I am so
thankful that you have come on
786
00:44:56,300 --> 00:45:01,100
this show, so tell us just
really quickly one sentence.
787
00:45:01,100 --> 00:45:05,100
Like what made you love Matilda
so much to put it in your top
788
00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:08,400
five.
I mean, just the, the way that
789
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:14,800
the music flows with the, with
raw doll story and the words
790
00:45:16,300 --> 00:45:20,400
it's really, really smart.
It's just, it's really The dents
791
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:26,700
and Brilliant and for I mean in
those kids are just giving every
792
00:45:26,700 --> 00:45:29,700
ounce of Excellence that they
can possibly muster in that
793
00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:32,600
thing.
It also it just it feels really
794
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:39,700
good and it's not like It's not
very it's not very cookie cutter
795
00:45:39,700 --> 00:45:42,900
and kitschy it.
Yeah, it it allows itself to be
796
00:45:42,900 --> 00:45:47,600
as dark as I think Matilda
should be, they made a flip on
797
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,700
the character and she's not so
sweet and innocent with the
798
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:55,000
sneaky attitude.
She's like, she's a big shit
799
00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:00,900
like stepper.
Like she's definitely worth our
800
00:46:00,900 --> 00:46:03,100
weight in gold and that shot and
then show.
801
00:46:03,100 --> 00:46:05,700
So I really appreciate it.
Maybe it's on my list right now.
802
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,600
Because it's, you know, recency
bias?
803
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:12,000
Sure but her it really think it
stands up against any of the
804
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,300
like kid musicals that are that
are out there.
805
00:46:15,100 --> 00:46:19,300
I would say so far we have two
musicals prominently featuring
806
00:46:19,300 --> 00:46:22,100
kids for you Jared.
Yeah yeah I think that's
807
00:46:22,100 --> 00:46:24,300
something that maybe that has
something to do with the fact
808
00:46:24,300 --> 00:46:26,200
that I got one coming on the way
you do.
809
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,900
Your adulation is not the way
Brad relations, man.
810
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:29,900
Thank you.
Thank you.
811
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,800
All right, I'll go with my
number 40.
812
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,200
I found the guy from My Fair
Lady.
813
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,500
His name is Jordan Danica.
He He killed.
814
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:39,900
Yeah kill the song.
Like look at all the waiter
815
00:46:39,900 --> 00:46:42,000
about the Broadway.
Okay um yeah.
816
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,800
I don't know why he was able to
another show.
817
00:46:44,900 --> 00:46:48,800
Okay, one of my guys, oh yeah,
well, tell him, I said that he
818
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,700
absolutely annihilated that
song.
819
00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:53,500
Like it was this incredible.
All right.
820
00:46:53,500 --> 00:46:57,000
My number four.
I'm gonna go with a movie, that
821
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,200
really has fallen, like, by the
wayside, but it's from a show
822
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,700
that still performed a lot.
And that is the, the movie
823
00:47:02,700 --> 00:47:05,200
adaptation of Brigadoon.
This is a Rodgers and
824
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:06,400
Hammerstein.
Musical.
825
00:47:06,700 --> 00:47:09,500
I don't know why Brigadoon has
always had just a really special
826
00:47:09,500 --> 00:47:14,500
place in my heart, like it is,
it's cheesy as hell and I love
827
00:47:14,500 --> 00:47:15,400
it.
Like it's just, there's
828
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:20,100
something about a musical that
is completely Earnest with its
829
00:47:20,100 --> 00:47:24,900
own cheesiness that like, it's
endearing and, and like, it Gene
830
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:28,600
Kelly in the movie and Leslie,
Caron and like are not Leslie.
831
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,200
Caron said, Cherise in that
movie directed by Vincente
832
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,300
Minnelli, so it looks gorgeous.
I love that movie.
833
00:47:35,900 --> 00:47:38,600
Gene Kelly and I'm in love with
those songs.
834
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,500
So Brigadoon is number four.
If I am correct, Brigadoon is a
835
00:47:42,508 --> 00:47:48,500
Scottish themed movies and your
name is Robert the Bruce book.
836
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,500
That's that that's true
actually, yeah.
837
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,500
Okay.
I'm just, I don't know if I'm
838
00:47:52,500 --> 00:47:54,900
making a correlation here, so
I'm just asking questions up
839
00:47:54,900 --> 00:47:57,600
with it in my bones that
resonates with that musical.
840
00:48:00,700 --> 00:48:02,200
All right, Brad.
Let's go through these a little
841
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:03,600
quicker here, man.
We're Dragon.
842
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,600
We got to get this guy to bed so
he can perform tomorrow.
843
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,500
Row number three for you.
Brad number three, I'm going
844
00:48:09,500 --> 00:48:12,500
more recent as well.
I'm gonna go with lala land.
845
00:48:12,700 --> 00:48:16,500
Oh interesting.
Okay, I just, I love the story
846
00:48:16,500 --> 00:48:20,100
that is told by it.
I think that as a musical it is
847
00:48:20,100 --> 00:48:23,600
not necessarily the greatest
pure musical of all time.
848
00:48:23,900 --> 00:48:29,700
But I just love what, what she's
L did with the story and I think
849
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:32,500
that the cinematography of the
film was beautiful the way he
850
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:35,000
uses lighting throughout is
incredible.
851
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:40,300
So, I'm I was just really a big
fan of LOL and when it came out,
852
00:48:40,700 --> 00:48:46,200
all right, Jared number three.
I'm gonna go with Cinderella.
853
00:48:47,100 --> 00:48:48,800
Oh nice.
Brandy version.
854
00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:49,800
Okay.
All right.
855
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,200
Yeah.
Just buddy you got to specify
856
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,800
the bread with Whitney as the
the Godmother, right?
857
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,400
Yeah.
That that movie was just so
858
00:48:57,900 --> 00:49:00,800
Monumental in so many of my
friends is lives.
859
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:07,400
It's kind of like to me, it's
the Jake Johnson of Movie music,
860
00:49:08,900 --> 00:49:12,300
let's go.
But you got to give you got to
861
00:49:12,308 --> 00:49:15,000
give credit where credit is due.
Its the firt, you know, is one
862
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,400
of the first I think it's the
only time that I've ever seen a
863
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:27,300
black and white Mom and Dad
produce an Asian son break,
864
00:49:27,300 --> 00:49:29,700
breaking the laws of physics and
we love them for it.
865
00:49:29,700 --> 00:49:32,500
Like and again that's it that's
a Rodgers and Hammerstein
866
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:35,600
adaptation actually I did that
show in high school Brad.
867
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,300
And like, it's the kind of show
that if I can be frank, like it
868
00:49:39,300 --> 00:49:42,300
needed something to spice it up
a little bit and like, make it
869
00:49:42,300 --> 00:49:46,100
fresh and adding, those Dynamics
to it, bringing in Whitney as
870
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:49,300
the Fairy Godmother.
Like it, it's so, so good.
871
00:49:49,300 --> 00:49:50,500
I haven't seen that version of
forever.
872
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:51,700
I got to check that one out
again.
873
00:49:52,100 --> 00:49:54,500
Yeah.
All right, my number three.
874
00:49:54,500 --> 00:49:55,600
I'm gonna go with Les
Miserables.
875
00:49:55,600 --> 00:50:00,100
This is a movie that a lot of
people are iffy on as a movie,
876
00:50:00,700 --> 00:50:03,300
especially, like, with some of
the vocalist, in the movie.
877
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,000
I don't know, man.
It worked for me, and I'll Les
878
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,500
Mis is another one of those
shows that if it resonates with
879
00:50:09,500 --> 00:50:12,600
you, then it resonates at a
really, really deep level and,
880
00:50:13,100 --> 00:50:15,500
you know, the character of algae
on the themes of redemption and
881
00:50:15,500 --> 00:50:18,600
salvation in that movie, or
just, they hit me every single
882
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,900
time.
I can't watch that movie and not
883
00:50:20,900 --> 00:50:24,300
be moved by that final scene of
the barricade after Valjean
884
00:50:24,300 --> 00:50:28,100
passes on into the Afterlife.
It's, it's an incredible visual.
885
00:50:28,500 --> 00:50:33,500
Lame is my number three, Yeah,
all right, whatever.
886
00:50:33,500 --> 00:50:40,200
Dude Jared, why are you being so
rude to pacis?
887
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:45,200
All right, Brad number two.
Number two has already been
888
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:49,900
mentioned, dude.
I freaking love Sweeney Todd.
889
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,500
No.
Wow, you hang onto that.
890
00:50:51,500 --> 00:50:55,600
I I remember like watching it in
high school.
891
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,500
Our choir saying we didn't do
the musical, but our choir
892
00:50:59,500 --> 00:51:06,600
saying, You know, the lot of the
song sure it is just one of the
893
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:10,800
most fun like Darkly fun
musicals ever created.
894
00:51:11,100 --> 00:51:15,100
And I just think that Johnny
Depp and Helena Bonham Carter
895
00:51:15,300 --> 00:51:21,700
and Alan Rickman like it's just
such an incredible cast and they
896
00:51:21,700 --> 00:51:24,400
have so much chemistry in this
film.
897
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,200
That just brings this world.
This you know, ugly gross
898
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,800
British world to life.
Like dark and dirty and I just
899
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,900
man, it's so good dude, I'm
right there with you.
900
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,100
Sweeney Todd's.
Number two for me.
901
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:42,800
Come on, how come on, dear me?
You just talking about some of
902
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:48,200
the the most grimy dark dirty
text that we've ever gotten from
903
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:49,800
the man himself.
Hmm.
904
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:55,300
And like you said Johnny, Johnny
Depp that whole cast is stellar
905
00:51:56,100 --> 00:52:00,000
and it's what it's actually one
of the first musicals by sign.
906
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,900
Hi.
I'm, that made me really see the
907
00:52:03,900 --> 00:52:08,000
range of what theater is
possible capable of because
908
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,100
company was probably the first
one that made me go.
909
00:52:11,100 --> 00:52:15,400
Okay, I think I can do this.
And then I saw and then I
910
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,200
started digging a little bit
more into Sondheim and found
911
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:22,600
Sweeney Todd and some of his
others and it's just it holds a
912
00:52:22,607 --> 00:52:25,900
special place in my heart.
Jose Jared real quick.
913
00:52:25,900 --> 00:52:28,600
What's like a go-to song for you
from Sweeney Todd?
914
00:52:31,500 --> 00:52:35,700
Because for me, I love poor
thing I had.
915
00:52:35,700 --> 00:52:39,400
And I just think that as they
move through the story of
916
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,500
Sweeney Todd's former life where
she clearly kind of knows what's
917
00:52:42,500 --> 00:52:44,000
going on.
Yeah.
918
00:52:44,300 --> 00:52:49,200
What's happening in the story as
well as the actual lyricism and
919
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,700
the music that's going on?
I man it's just think it's
920
00:52:52,700 --> 00:52:54,800
incredible.
Honestly any Time Purell.
921
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:55,900
He's on, it's on.
The screen.
922
00:52:55,900 --> 00:52:58,900
Was like my favorite part of
that?
923
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,000
Sweet spot is so good.
Go ahead.
924
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,500
Sorry.
When you just when he goes,
925
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:06,400
finally my arm is complete.
Like there's like two of my
926
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:12,900
favorite has the feel of like
the Beatles.
927
00:53:14,300 --> 00:53:18,600
What's, I'll shoot my brain to
the the song that they made
928
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,400
that's completely based off the
circus poster?
929
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:26,000
Oh yeah, for the benefit of mr.
Kite, Yes, yeah.
930
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,400
Pirelli just has that Vibe about
it and it's perfect.
931
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,400
I was gonna say Sweeney Todd is
so good that they made a whole
932
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:37,200
episode of The Office where Andy
is in Sweeney Todd and and it
933
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,500
still holds up even after that,
like that's - eat.
934
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:42,600
All right.
Brad.
935
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,900
My number two is the only one on
this list that didn't start as a
936
00:53:44,900 --> 00:53:47,800
Broadway musical, but you know,
that of all the old MGM
937
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,000
musicals, it's my very favorite
and it is Judy Garland in Meet
938
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:51,900
Me in st.
Louis.
939
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,000
This is just, it's one of those
movies.
940
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:56,700
That's like kind of on the
border of even being a musical
941
00:53:56,700 --> 00:53:59,600
because there's only like, four
or five songs, but there's
942
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,500
something.
So, again, like Earnest about it
943
00:54:02,500 --> 00:54:05,500
and it's about a family and it's
about persevering through the
944
00:54:05,500 --> 00:54:09,100
hard times as a tight-knit
family that movie speaks to me,
945
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,100
I watch it every year at
Christmas, like you do white
946
00:54:11,100 --> 00:54:14,300
Christmas.
So that is my number two and
947
00:54:14,300 --> 00:54:17,500
that brings us to all of our
number one picks Brad.
948
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:22,300
What's your number one?
My number one, it is probably
949
00:54:22,300 --> 00:54:24,500
this might be a little cliche
but hopefully the rest of my
950
00:54:24,500 --> 00:54:27,900
list took care of that West Side
Story, man.
951
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:35,700
Yeah, okay.
It's a are you guys?
952
00:54:35,700 --> 00:54:37,900
There is Westside your guys is
number one.
953
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,700
It's my number one.
I didn't put it there for the
954
00:54:42,700 --> 00:54:46,400
purpose of just like, trying to
move the needle forward.
955
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,200
Yeah.
Yeah.
956
00:54:48,700 --> 00:54:50,800
Is it?
Is it, is it like a cliche in
957
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,100
the musical theater community?
That that is like like the, you
958
00:54:54,100 --> 00:54:58,100
know, it's like, you know, if
you don't know basketball, you
959
00:54:58,100 --> 00:55:00,100
know, Michael Jordan.
You just say yeah mine.
960
00:55:00,100 --> 00:55:01,900
We're gonna have the goat, but
you don't know why.
961
00:55:02,100 --> 00:55:06,300
Yeah, yeah and it I guess the
same thing could be said about
962
00:55:06,300 --> 00:55:08,900
LeBron so, you know.
Yeah.
963
00:55:09,300 --> 00:55:14,700
It's just a, for me.
If we're saying like top five, I
964
00:55:14,700 --> 00:55:18,300
wouldn't I try to stay away from
the like, the suggested top
965
00:55:18,300 --> 00:55:18,900
five.
Sure.
966
00:55:19,500 --> 00:55:22,300
Yeah, but you're not about to
say Singing in the Rain.
967
00:55:22,700 --> 00:55:24,400
No, no.
I'm gonna put.
968
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,700
I'm gonna put West Side Story as
my honorable mention, as the
969
00:55:27,700 --> 00:55:30,500
like, Mount Rushmore.
Yeah.
970
00:55:31,500 --> 00:55:36,100
Maybe all, by itself.
Yeah, of movie musicals, and I'm
971
00:55:36,100 --> 00:55:38,700
gonna go, I'm gonna throw you
guys a curve.
972
00:55:39,500 --> 00:55:43,900
I think this is a hot take.
I really dig in the Heights.
973
00:55:44,300 --> 00:55:47,800
Oh, okay.
Now you you were in in the
974
00:55:47,808 --> 00:55:50,400
Heights, right?
I was in Boston, actually.
975
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:58,500
Okay, for for the purpose of
what we're it came to us like
976
00:55:58,500 --> 00:56:01,200
the timing timing that I came to
us during the pandemic.
977
00:56:02,700 --> 00:56:09,000
Also, I'm a New Yorker.
I'm in Hamilton Lynn's my boss,
978
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:16,400
so I gotta write, right?
And just just for the purpose of
979
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:20,300
like, what in the Heights means
for I think this is the converse
980
00:56:20,300 --> 00:56:24,300
of like a, you know, when you
were saying a musical that was
981
00:56:24,300 --> 00:56:29,600
made better as a movie or vice
versa, even though the musical
982
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,200
is great, the movie, I don't
know the movie just did
983
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:34,800
something for me.
That was that was really
984
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:36,800
special.
I think it was very Monumental
985
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,000
and very extremely
underappreciated.
986
00:56:40,100 --> 00:56:42,400
Absolutely.
In my opinion both that movie
987
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,900
and the you know, the new
Spielberg version of West Side
988
00:56:44,900 --> 00:56:46,900
Story.
Like both of those movies
989
00:56:46,900 --> 00:56:51,700
deserve better and yeah.
You know, Anthony was so good in
990
00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:54,400
the Heights and I thought he was
going to get some more
991
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:58,700
recognition than he did, but
man, it was just a great movie.
992
00:56:58,700 --> 00:57:01,400
And again, like when you're
talking about lin-manuel
993
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,400
Miranda, like it's a great text,
but I think you're right.
994
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:08,100
I think the movie elevated the
show to a New Height there.
995
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:14,700
Yeah, the show, the show was, I
think, partly conflicted by the
996
00:57:14,700 --> 00:57:17,100
task that it had.
It had to be.
997
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:23,400
It had to be digestible enough
for Broadway audiences to get it
998
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:29,000
because I mean, maybe this is
another hot take, but, you know,
999
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,600
I think if you can get rich
dense Sondheim, like you can get
1000
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,300
hip hop.
And so, I don't think that we
1001
00:57:34,300 --> 00:57:36,800
should ever dumb down hip-hop
for musical theater sake,
1002
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:41,000
absolute Hamilton, prove that.
But the fact that it was new, I
1003
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:46,400
think that the, the, the, the
stage show just did so much to
1004
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,300
advance the ears of Senora of
musical, theater listeners.
1005
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:53,100
And without it, we wouldn't have
gotten Hamilton.
1006
00:57:53,500 --> 00:57:58,700
So, you know, I think the movie
musical is a bit of the same and
1007
00:57:58,700 --> 00:58:02,900
then it just just a director of
the direct direct oral choices
1008
00:58:02,900 --> 00:58:06,600
by John and chew having them on
the side of the building during
1009
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:12,100
Sunrise is shots of the gwb,
just a bustling neighborhood
1010
00:58:12,100 --> 00:58:16,200
that they created Anthony's
performance.
1011
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,300
I mean there was just so We need
the cameos and a bunch of my
1012
00:58:20,300 --> 00:58:22,900
friends are in it to that's the
reason it's up there for me.

00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,200
Once again, this has been Jarred
Dixon, he is currently on tour
1026
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,200
with the Philip cast in the
North American tour of Hamilton
1027
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,800
as Aaron Burr.
You guys are camping out in
1028
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:10,500
Boston for a couple weeks,
right?
1029
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,600
Yeah, we'll be there for you.
I think two months
1030
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:19,500
unfortunately, by the time I
think by the time this comes
1031
00:59:19,500 --> 00:59:22,800
out, I may be out of the show.
I'm actually leaving February
1032
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:24,200
5th.
Wow.
1033
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:28,400

reason so like yeah, yeah we

understand this guy is going to
go on to incredible things.
1035
00:59:32,700 --> 00:59:35,500
He's already reached the
Mountaintop with Aaron Burr and
1036
00:59:35,500 --> 00:59:38,200
I think that there's another
mountain and view for him, it's
1037
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,500
been just an inspiration to talk
to you today.
1038
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:42,800
I can't thank you enough for

3
00:00:06,100 --> 00:00:08,700
that, you know, that nothing is
validated until a group of

00:00:08,707 --> 00:00:11,100
random people say hey we love
what you're doing.
5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,700
The awesome thing about doc
Swensons, whiskey is that it

Hey, everybody.
23
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:07,100
Welcome into the film and
whiskey podcast.
24
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:11,100
I'm Bob book, I'm Brad G Brad.
We are coming at you with
25
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:15,900
another special bonus episode,
bonus episode, man.
26
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:19,700
I have been super excited for
today's bonus episode Brad
27
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:23,100
because a couple weeks ago, I
took a trip up to lovely
28
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:25,000
Cleveland, Ohio and Playhouse
Square.
29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,800
The second largest Performing,
Arts District in the country
30
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:31,300
behind good old Broadway.
And I saw a show called
31
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:33,600
Hamilton.
I've never heard of it, Bob,
32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,500
right?
I know it's a, it's a little
33
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,500
little Off-Broadway Productions,
making the rounds right now.
34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,300
Nice.
So, a couple years ago when
35
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:44,900
Disney plus released their
filmed version of Hamilton, we
36
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:48,600
did an episode about Hamilton
and starting.
37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,000
Then I have become obsessed with
this show, Brad?
38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,900
Like, I don't usually get into
Fanboy territory.
39
00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:58,000
I don't usually go down the
rabbit hole with the things that
40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,500
we watch on this show.
Hamilton is one of those things
41
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:06,000
that every decade or so, there
is a piece of art that comes out
42
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
and it's in different mediums,
it could be a movie, it could be
43
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
an album and it is so dense and
there is so much to unpack and
44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,500
there are so many references
that you just can't help but
45
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:20,400
almost get obsessed with it and
with lin-manuel.
46
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,400
Miranda's Hamilton, I think
that's kind of, the defining
47
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,800
piece of art that came out of
the 2010s.
48
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:32,600
Yeah, it seems like it just
Richard, a cultural moment of
49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,500
America, exploring, its history
and asking questions about where
50
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:40,400
we've come from and what that
says about where we're going and
51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,900
on top of, you know, all of
those deep important questions.
52
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:49,300
It's asking it's just really,
really incredibly well-written.
53
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,200
Like it might be one of the
sharpest musicals that anyone
54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,900
has ever put pen to paper for.
I was gonna say yeah.
55
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:59,100
We can talk all day about like,
doing criticism on the text and
56
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:02,600
everything, but End of the day.
It's like 50 bangers.
57
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,900
All strung together for three
hours.
58
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:08,100
It's just incredible piece of
entertainment.
59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,600
And today, we are joined by
performer Jared.
60
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,900
Dixon, who is currently on tour
with Hamilton in the Philip cast
61
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:19,300
performing as Aaron Burr.
Jared, thank you so much for
62
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:21,400
sitting down with us today or
is.
63
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,000
Thank you.
Thank you for having me now
64
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,200
Jared.
I will just start off by saying,
65
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,200
I have.
You know, Bob went and saw you a
66
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,400
few weeks ago I have Some of my
best friends in the world that
67
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,400
saw you literally a few nights
ago and the reviews are in you
68
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:42,200
are a killer Arenberg pun
intended right?
69
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:42,900
Yeah.
Right.
70
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:47,700
You know let's just start there
let's talk about the role of
71
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:51,300
Aaron Berger a little bit.
I mean you're coming in in a
72
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:54,800
performance in a role that you
know Leslie Odom originated and
73
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,800
has become, I don't know,
probably the most sought-after
74
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,900
role on Broadway right now like
it He wins a Tony for the thing,
75
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:06,900
like it's an incredible role.
It is so nuanced and so layered
76
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:09,900
and I feel like the more you
watch Leslie, Odom in that
77
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:12,300
performance especially now that
we have like the movie version
78
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:15,400
to watch.
It's it's got to be so hard to
79
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,700
pull off that character because
there's so much more going on
80
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,500
internally with Burr than there
is with somebody like Hamilton.
81
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,500
Who's just expressing himself
out loud all the time.
82
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:29,300
Yeah what's it like to try to
dig into this role that you know
83
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:33,200
you have To express so much,
internal to someone that's
84
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,700
sitting in the back row of the
theater.
85
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,800
One of my favorite quotes about
the difference between theater
86
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,100
acting and like, TV acting as
from Denzel.
87
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,500
And he basically said that
there's no difference.
88
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:51,600
You either tell the truth or you
don't hmmm, and it's funny like,
89
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,400
well, you know, will I've seen,
like, reviews or and stuff like
90
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,500
that.
I don't try not to bother too
91
00:04:57,500 --> 00:05:00,700
much with with critics opinions,
and stuff like that, but I'll
92
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:05,200
see reviews sometimes I do stay
like, you know, did You know,
93
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,800
like level of expression wasn't
big enough for you.
94
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,000
No, it didn't.
It didn't feel like the energy
95
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,500
was as big as it should be and I
don't think, you know, not to
96
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:17,700
criticize critics or anything
like that, but if you watch the
97
00:05:17,707 --> 00:05:21,000
whole show and you got through
room, where it happens and wait
98
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,800
for it, and satisfied, and all
of the bangers.
99
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,200
And you think that the show is
not big enough, you just weren't
100
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:33,200
dialed in, you know.
So it, you know, it feeds the
101
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,800
actors don't Much, you know, not
not that.
102
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,700
I try to rely on the text or
anything like that, but it's
103
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,800
there's so much meat on the bone
and one of those like a runaway
104
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,700
train, if you if you blink you
you've missed, you know, a huge
105
00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:51,900
chunk sometimes.
And I just try to do my best to,
106
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,600
to stay on my toes and be as
present as possible with my
107
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:03,900
classmates and bring real like
joy and I love to the stage.
108
00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:06,600
You know because people only
like to watch people who are
109
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,900
enjoying themselves do anything.
Yeah, absolutely.
110
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,500
Yeah I wonder though like I'm
thinking about what you said
111
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:17,400
about how if you blink in the
middle of Hamilton if you yawn
112
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,500
for like three or four seconds
you've missed like at least 800
113
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:27,800
words worth of content right.
And so like what you know you've
114
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,000
been performing this for a
little while now.
115
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:33,800
What still surprises you in the
text itself?
116
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,800
Like as you work through the
material night after night, is
117
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,800
there anything that that like
recently has hit you?
118
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,900
Where you're like, man, this
line is just hitting me in a
119
00:06:41,907 --> 00:06:45,900
different way than it had, you
know, the the past few months of
120
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:49,900
performing it.
You know, there's so many ways
121
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:53,800
that Hamilton can change.
It is so adaptable to the times,
122
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:57,700
any one thing happens happens in
our political space, in the
123
00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:00,400
show, takes on a new color.
Something happens in our
124
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,400
personal lives in the show,
takes on the new color, I don't
125
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,700
know.
Like A whole pandemic happens
126
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:13,300
and it shows, you know, changes
and it's it's really easy to
127
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:16,900
just keep your ears and your
eyes and your heart open to the,
128
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:22,100
to the, to the show.
So you know, I'll find new
129
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:27,400
things to kind of point at as as
the narrator and new things to
130
00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:29,700
to emphasize in my text and
stuff.
131
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,100
Like the one thing that I found
really interesting is I'm
132
00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:37,600
probably like Like somewhere
around 400 performances or
133
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,800
three, 300 and change or
something like that.
134
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,400
And The the line is I know you
don't.
135
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,800
Yes, I do.
Now be sensible from what I hear
136
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,300
you made yourself indispensable
and then two nights ago I just
137
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:54,300
leaned into the pain and
indispensable.
138
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:56,100
Hmm.
And you've been using your pen.
139
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:58,200
Yeah.
You know like a little bitty
140
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,300
thing I don't know if anybody
caught it but I just like you
141
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:04,500
know, one of those I guess like,
kind of dad joke.
142
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,200
Yeah, it's good for me.
I hope somebody else got it.
143
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,300
Now, that's incredible, man.
I can't imagine you know, what
144
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:14,500
you do it.
So often that you probably have
145
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:17,600
to have something on stage to
keep yourself from just getting
146
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,400
wrote with it but finding
something like that where you're
147
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,000
just, you know, I'm going to put
emphasis on this word a little
148
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,600
bit different.
It you have to find something to
149
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,300
spice it up a little bit, but I
imagine, it has to be a huge
150
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:32,900
challenge with something like
Hamilton, where everything
151
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,299
depends on the meter.
Everything depends on the Rhythm
152
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,900
and hitting certain beats.
This the exact same way, every
153
00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:41,400
time, I'm because otherwise the
songs don't work.
154
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,900
Like it's there's so much
intricacy to how these songs are
155
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:49,000
fit together.
That I mean, it's got to be as
156
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,300
much a verbal and mental workout
as it is a physical one on
157
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:55,600
stage.
Oh, yeah, I mean, the only
158
00:08:56,100 --> 00:09:01,000
there's only a few composers who
write this really, in this
159
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,900
really dense way you got like,
fine, Hime Roald Dahl lin-manuel
160
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,500
jrb gets into the pad.
Stuff sometimes e and but in
161
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:18,900
this show it really is all of
the devices of theater and and
162
00:09:18,900 --> 00:09:24,500
live performance kind of coming
together and each moment is like
163
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:28,800
like Rich layered.
Take if you bite off too much,
164
00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:30,600
you know, you're not really
enjoying it.
165
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,700
So I think I when I'm in the
show, it's more about just like
166
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:36,600
I said, keeping my eyes and
heart open.
167
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:41,700
Being open to the moment.
I don't really have any Grand
168
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:47,400
like design that I'm trying to
effect in every show that I, you
169
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,300
know, that I go on for.
I'm really just trying to stay
170
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:54,000
as present as possible to allow
the job to do what it wants to
171
00:09:54,008 --> 00:09:57,600
do that night.
And really be, you know, be a
172
00:09:57,608 --> 00:10:00,400
vessel in a sense.
Injured.
173
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,100
I'm like fascinated at this idea
of like three, four, five
174
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:07,200
hundred performances, you know,
with the same cast and crew for
175
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,300
the most part, you know, people
kind of come and go.
176
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:12,900
But like I think about the fact
that you played Simba on The
177
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:17,500
Lion King in the past and your
co-star here, turia Campbell she
178
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:20,800
played Nala in Lion King, I
don't believe it was at the same
179
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,100
time.
But like how, how tight-knit is
180
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:29,500
the the Broadway Community?
You know that you guys all work?
181
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:34,000
Is same musicals and you are
with each other for, you know,
182
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,600
month after month and sometimes
year after year, like how
183
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,700
special is it to be able to
perform in these Arts with these
184
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:44,300
people who you're around all the
time?
185
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,500
I mean, I'll tell you I'll tell
you the most recent experience
186
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:50,500
that I've had that's
mind-boggling three of my
187
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:55,300
castmates.
I knew since they were like 16.
188
00:10:55,300 --> 00:10:58,000
Hmm.
Oh my gosh, I was a little bit
189
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,700
older And one of them who just
debuted last week, I've known
190
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:08,800
since he was nine.
Wow, so the not the guy who I
191
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,300
knew since he was nine.
I was his day, count day camp,
192
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:17,700
counselor.
And the other two went, a one
193
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:21,000
went to my high school and then
the other one I performed with
194
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,900
when he was 16 hours 25 and so
for us to all to be onstage at
195
00:11:24,908 --> 00:11:28,700
the same time, it really is just
as a testament to, you know, how
196
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:32,200
small the Community is but also
how tighten it is.
197
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:36,500
We're able to see excellence and
other people and continue to
198
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:39,500
like encourage and feed people.
And that was probably like the
199
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:42,300
biggest, the best gift that I
could have received this year,
200
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:46,700
was to be able to see some of
the younger guys who came up
201
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:49,800
behind, are coming up behind me,
just we're in the same
202
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,800
generation but there are few
years behind me.
203
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,400
For them to have a level of
success of success that they've
204
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,500
had.
Yeah.
205
00:11:57,500 --> 00:12:00,200
And when we have like my
classmate and Keisha Williams,
206
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,800
who I did call the purple with
and a couple of my Dino turia
207
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,000
did Lion King.
And I have so many connections
208
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,400
with different cast, mates and
cast members across the Hamill
209
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,600
verse and across the theater,
the theater world.
210
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,300
You know, you never quite alone
in theater world.
211
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:20,800
Yeah, honestly the way you're
talking about seeing these guys
212
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,900
come up that you've known since
they they were 916.
213
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,700
It kind of made me think about
how like in the NBA there's so
214
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:32,500
many Young Guns who are like
young stars who are like yeah I
215
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:37,700
remember when LeBron like came
to our a you games and like he
216
00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:40,300
was the greatest player, the
universe and now I'm playing
217
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:41,900
against him.
Right?
218
00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:44,800
And I guess I just bring that up
to say you'd like must be the
219
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,800
LeBron James of the musical
Universe.
220
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:54,100
I mean, I'm not quite ready yet
but Your hairlines not receding
221
00:12:54,100 --> 00:13:00,200
like his compared to go one.
A all right call him.
222
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:04,700
Yeah I'm a Michael Jordan fan
but being compared to him I'll
223
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:06,900
take it.
Well you're talking to to
224
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:07,900
Cleveland boy.
Wow.
225
00:13:07,900 --> 00:13:12,300
Actually I'm the Cleveland boy.
Bob is an Akron guy so you might
226
00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:16,100
get we might get into it.
Yeah like I can practically see
227
00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:18,900
LeBrons house from here.
I'm like you know you gotta come
228
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:21,100
like it's walk on eggshells a
little bit.
229
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:23,000
When you're talking about whose
The goat around us.
230
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,600
Hey, I'm accepting them all.
All, viable, goat Converse.
231
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,900
There you go.
Listen.
232
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:34,100
As long as you can make a case.
I'll entertain it right.
233
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,800
All right.
Let's talk a little bit about
234
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,700
your history Jared because
you're you know you're acting
235
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:40,500
like you're the Elder Statesman
here but you're still a young
236
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:43,600
buck like you just I mean I've
seen you talk about the role of
237
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,000
Simba in The Lion King as quite
possibly the most prominent and
238
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,200
most challenging role.
That's a young person can play.
239
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,100
How did you get here?
Came from Queens.
240
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:57,400
You've liked you, you're the son
of Broadway royalty in a number
241
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,300
of ways, like it's an incredible
journey and I just I want our
242
00:14:01,300 --> 00:14:03,000
audience to be able to hear a
little bit about it.
243
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,500
Yeah, I mean, the long story
short is, I grew up being near
244
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:10,900
the theater because my dad was a
performer as well.
245
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:15,000
And he's a classical, classical
singer and also made his
246
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,800
Broadway debut and Ragtime the
musical in the 90s, and I grew
247
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,300
up knowing knowing that knowing
that I wanted to do something
248
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:28,900
different, but not knowing
exactly what it was and I found
249
00:14:28,900 --> 00:14:33,800
performance later.
And my young adult years.
250
00:14:34,300 --> 00:14:38,300
After I graduated college
College, I started auditioning.
251
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:42,200
I got my first job in Boston as
well at fiddlehead theater.
252
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,000
I did Ragtime the completely
full circle moment and I played
253
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,500
the role of Booker T Washington,
which my dad understudy on
254
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:54,200
Broadway as well.
And I really just dedicated the
255
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,900
past 10 years of my life, since
I, you know, started performing
256
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:05,300
professionally to getting better
at every turn and making sure
257
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:12,000
that every opportunity I take is
a step up, not just in in
258
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,000
profile but just in an internal
and fulfillment and personal
259
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,900
fulfillment.
And that's, that's guided me
260
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:24,700
really well, I'd really Only
care about being one of the best
261
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:27,800
to ever do it.
Or, you know, I'm that's up to
262
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,500
other people to decide.
You know.
263
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:33,800
I'm going to attempt and try my
best and give all that.
264
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,300
I got to be as good as I
possibly can at this thing.
265
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,800
Yeah, yeah.
I mean I think that's a great
266
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,300
point because there's a lot of
people out there that that have
267
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:48,400
the ambition to play a role like
Burr or a row like Simba and
268
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,000
probably have the energy and
maybe have the stamina.
269
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:53,700
Anna.
But there's so much that goes
270
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:57,300
into I don't know like having
the experience the life
271
00:15:57,300 --> 00:16:00,600
experience and also honing your
craft.
272
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,900
Like I can't imagine that, you
know, if this musical had
273
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:06,800
existed 10 years ago and you
look at where you were 10 years
274
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,600
ago, that you would think that
you'd be as effective as I
275
00:16:09,608 --> 00:16:13,400
remember as you are today.
And, you know, I guess my
276
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,300
question then is like, how do
you see yourself growing as an
277
00:16:17,300 --> 00:16:20,900
actor and how do you see your
life experiences in?
278
00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:25,000
Are those two things intertwine
does your ability to convey
279
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,500
these deeper emotions come from,
just the fact that you've seen
280
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:30,800
more of the world since then,
you know what I mean?
281
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,900
It's a part of a necessary
self-awareness that I think I've
282
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
always had.
I've always had the ability to
283
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,800
look around and be honest with
myself, not for the sake of
284
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,600
comparison to other people, but
just to stay.
285
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:50,900
When I see somebody do something
that's incredible.
286
00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:54,300
Well, I'll look Within Myself
and say, oh, I can't do that
287
00:16:54,300 --> 00:16:58,800
when I'm I can get there.
Mhm, I'll look and say, I don't
288
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,200
have that whatever they just
did, right.
289
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,300
Like, you know, I remember the
first time I saw Joshua Henry on
290
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:08,000
Broadway, in a poor game best.
Hmm.
291
00:17:08,099 --> 00:17:12,800
He was the person who I looked
at it and said, that is what I
292
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,400
want to do.
I'm not quite there yet, but I
293
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,700
need to figure out how to do
that.
294
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:19,900
And I didn't, you know, now I'm
at the point where I am doing it
295
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:23,099
in my own and my own Way in
figuring things out for myself.
296
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:27,200
But like I said, it's just a
necessary self-awareness that I
297
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,200
think I picked up doing other
things.
298
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,000
Playing basketball running
track.
299
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:34,700
You know, I'm naturally
competitive by Nature.
300
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,300
I really just want to be the
best and I'm I wouldn't say I'm
301
00:17:40,300 --> 00:17:43,500
like, Kobe Bryant obsessive with
may be wrong.
302
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:47,000
I don't know.
Jose not many people are in the
303
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:47,900
mom, right?
Right.
304
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:50,600
You know, 3:00 4:00 in the
morning.
305
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:55,100
But I can be when necessary when
I when I find something like
306
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,000
when I find a need to go that
far to do things, that's where I
307
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000
go.
Yeah.
308
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,400
And and I take that approach
with everything in my life, even
309
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,500
about being a husband without
being a future dead and being a
310
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:11,700
dog owner.
Yeah, so it's, you know, how you
311
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:13,700
do anything is kind of how you
do everything with me.
312
00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:19,300
And I've always just been about
following my passion and and
313
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:20,900
making sure that I express my
passion.
314
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:24,700
And through, you know, through
my work and I think it shows,
315
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:29,900
you know, it started to show
better on stage with experience,
316
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:32,600
you know, because I'm more, I
trust myself more than I ever
317
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,300
had Jared.
That might be the best quote to
318
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:41,200
come out of our podcast.
How you do, anything is how you
319
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,000
do, everything Taya.
Take that home filming whiskey
320
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Nation.
That's, that's a, that's a good
321
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,500
one to think on absolutely
Jared.
322
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:51,200
I don't mean to make you, you
know, no.
323
00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:54,000
Speak it into existence here or
name it, and claim it or
324
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
anything.
But you know, everyone has like
325
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
a bucket list of man.
I'd really like to get on stage
326
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,600
and sing that song Someday, or
I'd really like to be in that
327
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,300
show some day and I imagine that
some of them you're keeping you
328
00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:07,700
know, locked up and you're not
going to speak it out loud.
329
00:19:07,700 --> 00:19:11,000
But like, what are some of the
ones on your, on your bucket
330
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,300
list?
Yeah, yeah.
331
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:18,400
I'll say it in case some
producer, somewhere, some ideas.
332
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,700
So number one, Was Burr.
Hmm, let's go.
333
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,100
That's off the list.
Bobby and Company.
334
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,200
Nice.
I was just going to say, so
335
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,600
everyone's Gotta Sing being
alive at some point.
336
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:35,500
Right.
Are some point?
337
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:38,600
Yeah, it's like, you know, like
a theater party trick.
338
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,400
For, if you're very tender, I
was gonna say like an Adam
339
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,400
Driver can do it in marriage
story.
340
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:50,500
Like, you can do it, good luck.
Yeah, say Bobby and Company is
341
00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:54,200
probably up there really
identified with that show.
342
00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:58,900
It's weird to say, you know, to
say, I identify with That show
343
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:04,000
at like 2019 but I really did
hopefully at some point I'll get
344
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,600
that opportunity for that.
I would also say above that
345
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:13,600
would be a role to originate
something I want to originate
346
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,900
something that's just as deep
and nuanced as Burr whether it
347
00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:22,600
be a villain or a you know a
tragic hero or something like
348
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,200
that.
Trying to think of other theater
349
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,400
Cannon things that I would love
to touch I like, I like Hermes
350
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,600
and Hades town about nice.
Yeah, type that as well.
351
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,000
I know, they kind of, they cast
older actors in that role but I
352
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,800
think it'd be fun to do.
Yeah, there's not many that I'm
353
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,500
really like, I don't know.
Berber really was like, kind of
354
00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:48,400
bird, was it?
Yeah, for me.
355
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,700
And so, I have to, once I'm done
putting on the details, I have
356
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:54,700
to re-evaluate and see what's
next.
357
00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:57,400
I mean, Bobby's fell out there,
of course, what's the song with
358
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,800
Birth that made you want to
chase it like this.
359
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,400
Wait for it usually.
Yeah.
360
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,200
Wait for it is maybe the most
slept on song in the whole show
361
00:21:05,300 --> 00:21:10,200
like it I know in any other show
we'd say that is the showstopper
362
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,200
but because this show has room
where it happens and one last
363
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,200
time and satisfied every like I
feel like wait for it, gets
364
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,800
buried in people's mind
sometimes and it is, you know,
365
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,100
we talk all the time Brad when
we talk about movie musicals and
366
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:26,200
the way that shows are
structured about a character,
367
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,600
having a song that's called like
I want song and that's Burrs I
368
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,800
want song but it's so much
deeper than just an I won
369
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,300
because he expresses that kind
of thing later on in room where
370
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:39,200
it happens to.
But it's his whole motivation,
371
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,200
it's I'm doing everything
methodically because everything
372
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,500
around me falls apart and I want
to be able to control my destiny
373
00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:51,100
and it I feel like it makes Burr
even more of a tragic figure.
374
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,500
Like there's just there's so
much in that song aside from
375
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:58,200
just the vocals that that really
drive that ER forward.
376
00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:05,000
Yeah, I had a friend who we had
a debate about whether that is
377
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,600
and I want song or not, and I
did believe that.
378
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,300
But then I came to the
realization performing it that
379
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:14,300
it's an it's more of an identity
song.
380
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:20,000
Hmm, everyone else in the show
gets introduced Burr, introduces
381
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,100
himself.
Yeah.
382
00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:23,900
And the first thing he says, is
on the damn fool that shot him,
383
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:27,400
but we don't get to really know
who he is, as a, as a stone.
384
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,500
Soul as a human being with a
soul until wait for it.
385
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:38,300
And I think the things that he's
staying about himself in that
386
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:41,500
song are things that we all
questioned our wide.
387
00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:47,400
Why do I do anything out here
like why do I go to this job?
388
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,200
Why do I am I love with this
person.
389
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:57,200
Why did I get this dog?
You know and What he's really
390
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,700
questioning is the very nature
and fabric of what, he's been
391
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:05,000
taught in what he's, come from
and whether that's enough to
392
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,600
sustain him and at that point in
his life, he decides that it
393
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,100
isn't that it's enough, the way
that he's doing things is
394
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:16,300
enough, but you just see the
chink in the armor because it's
395
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,400
through the lens of comparison.
Mmm, that's what makes it so
396
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,700
tragic, because he says all
these beautiful things about
397
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:28,300
this Legacy that he's, he's Come
from the the second verse.
398
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:30,700
My grandfather was a fire and
brimstone preacher.
399
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:34,600
My mother was a genius.
My father commanded respect, but
400
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,800
he's talking about the Legacy
that he comes from, and his deep
401
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:43,200
love that he has for Theodosia,
and it seems so beautiful to
402
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,500
audience.
It's like the color yellow and
403
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:48,200
Van.
Gogh, you know, if you watch, if
404
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,800
you read, if you see any Van
Gogh painting, you say, oh,
405
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,800
that's a beautiful yellow flower
and you find out that yellow Is
406
00:23:55,808 --> 00:23:58,300
the color that he used to
signify the darkness in his
407
00:23:58,300 --> 00:23:59,200
soul.
Wow.
408
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,300
And then the depth of his pain
and it changes the way you see
409
00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:07,100
anything?
And so that's kind of what wait
410
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:09,000
for it is.
It's that beautiful painting.
411
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,600
But then you find out the secret
meaning behind it.
412
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,800
At the end, you realize this
guy's got some things to work on
413
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,600
my behalf, you know, as we all
do.
414
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:20,900
Yeah.
Yeah.
415
00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:25,200
And I think that's what I love
most about Hamilton is that it
416
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,700
takes These characters from
history that if we're being
417
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:32,400
really honest, I would guess
without the musical Hamilton
418
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,500
seventy to eighty percent of
Americans, wouldn't even know
419
00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:39,900
who these people were beyond.
The fact that they were American
420
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:44,100
history figures, right?
And yet it takes them and it
421
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:48,200
reminds us that, you know, we
get so caught up in our own
422
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,300
lives and our own day-to-day
things.
423
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:54,300
And assuming that all, you know,
politicians have are evil or
424
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:57,700
they're perfectly good.
You know, we do all this and yet
425
00:24:57,700 --> 00:24:59,800
something like Hamilton takes
all of that.
426
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:05,300
And says, hey all throughout
history, people are just people.
427
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:11,100
They want to be known and loved
and understood and safe and they
428
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:13,900
want to be able to provide those
things for the people that they
429
00:25:13,900 --> 00:25:16,800
love.
And whether you're a politician
430
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,600
in the, you know, Seventeen
eighteen hundreds.
431
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,500
Or you're just an average
citizen trying to live through a
432
00:25:22,508 --> 00:25:26,400
pandemic, like those are things
that we can all relate. 82 and I
433
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,600
think that's what Hamilton does.
Well it's a it's a cautionary
434
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:36,400
Tale.
It's an old to the beautiful
435
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,200
Florida, beautifully flawed
experiment that is America and
436
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,700
it's kind of a testament to
humanity.
437
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,800
It's a plea for Humanity in some
ways because the truth is at the
438
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:54,500
end of this show, you know, Burr
is able to say, if I had just
439
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,100
Weighted hem.
If I had listened to myself,
440
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:04,200
I've had trusted myself enough.
I might have seen that there was
441
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,000
space enough for both of us and
that is that's the most
442
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,000
beautiful walk-off home run, you
know, but I don't think I've
443
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,900
ever seen in a museum was for
him to drop his ego.
444
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:18,100
At the end.
Right?
445
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:23,500
And just say, you know, Yeah,
I'm trash and we all are, but
446
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:26,400
that's that's like the most
beautiful thing for me about the
447
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,000
way that show ends is you
finally understand the link
448
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,400
between Burr and Hamilton, is
that in their own ways.
449
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,800
They both tried to be the
masters of their fate.
450
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,100
They both tried to write their
own Legend and I don't think
451
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:43,200
either of them realized until it
was too late.
452
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,100
And that's when, you know,
Washington comes back on at the
453
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:49,300
end and starts starts, you have
no control who lives, who dies,
454
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:51,800
who tells your story?
Like the final reminder of this
455
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,200
musical is like, you can try as
much as you want to be the
456
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,600
master of your fate.
But the way your story gets told
457
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,800
is not up to you and it shifts
in those final moments to
458
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,300
talking about Eliza this person
who we don't know anything about
459
00:27:04,300 --> 00:27:07,900
really and who had no chance to
tell her own story and like
460
00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:10,500
that's what Lynn's doing at the
end of the story is he's like,
461
00:27:10,500 --> 00:27:13,400
I'm going to, I'm going to tell
the legend of this person now
462
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,500
and I think it says a lot about
like what you guys are saying,
463
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:22,300
it's really instructive to How
much are you going to waste your
464
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:24,300
energy?
Trying to construct your own
465
00:27:24,300 --> 00:27:26,600
Legend and narrative?
And how much are you going to
466
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,600
accept the fact that like you
have no control over that at
467
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,000
all?
Yeah, I mean if you're if you're
468
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:38,300
reading a lot of Eckhart Tolle
right now and birds I think he
469
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:44,400
would categorize Burr as someone
who's egotistical e steeped in
470
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:49,200
his past and future.
Hmm never quite in the present
471
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,400
because he's always waiting
Hamilton's never quite in the
472
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,000
present because he's always
planning, you know, and that
473
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,500
ends up being the foil of both
of them Bert in the story, at
474
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:05,700
least that, you know, I can't,
I've read enough, but I I've
475
00:28:05,700 --> 00:28:08,700
read enough to know that I know
nothing about burned.
476
00:28:08,900 --> 00:28:13,100
You know about anyone will not
accept vision is histories that
477
00:28:13,100 --> 00:28:14,900
thing.
And, you know, I wasn't there.
478
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:16,800
So I'll never know the truth,
right?
479
00:28:17,300 --> 00:28:24,500
I know that in the story.
He's so um, seemingly concerned
480
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,800
with upholding this Legacy and
being right?
481
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,900
And being a part of the thing
that he doesn't necessarily you
482
00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:40,200
know the most beautiful parts of
his show are non-stop to me when
483
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:45,900
he's you know he's at home &
Hamilton's like hey come kick
484
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:46,600
up.
Dirt with me.
485
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,500
He's like no I think I'm good.
I think that's a good.
486
00:28:49,900 --> 00:28:52,600
If the show ends their bird
probably goes off and lives a
487
00:28:52,608 --> 00:28:54,500
great happy life somewhere.
Right?
488
00:28:58,700 --> 00:29:01,400
You know by the end of the song,
He's like questioning again, for
489
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:07,100
whatever reason.
Yeah so it's I guess like we
490
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:11,000
said so much meat on the bone.
Yeah well and we could honestly
491
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,400
go on talking about it for
another three hours but I think
492
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,900
what we need to do now is Bob
and I are going to go.
493
00:29:17,900 --> 00:29:21,400
We're going to review the
Beverly High rye whiskey.
494
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,700
And then we're going to come
back and talk with Jared about
495
00:29:24,700 --> 00:29:28,900
our top five movie musicals, so
get ready for that Whiskey
496
00:29:28,900 --> 00:29:30,800
Review.
And then we'll be back with our
497
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:38,600
top five movie musicals.
All right, so today we are
498
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,900
checking out the Beverly
high-rise II American whiskey
499
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:44,400
Brad.
This is called an American
500
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,400
whiskey not just a ride because
it's not technically a bourbon.
501
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,100
It's not technically a rye.
It is a blend of straight rye
502
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:55,400
and straight bourbon.
So you know, it probably works
503
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,500
out that there is still more
corn in the overall Mash bill
504
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:00,700
here than there is anything
else, but it can't be called a
505
00:30:00,708 --> 00:30:02,900
bourbon legally because it's
Blended.
506
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000
So you know what, I'm okay with
it since it's a Melting Pot, Bob
507
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,100
Just like America.
That's right.
508
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,800
Yeah, man.
This one is coming out of Cedar
509
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,000
Ridge.
Winery & distillery in Cedar,
510
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,800
Rapids, Iowa.
Fun fact where my family is
511
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,200
from.
Yeah, yeah.
512
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,500
Yeah, man.
We've had a couple of their
513
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:24,700
products on the show before I
love Cedar Ridge so I'm very
514
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:27,400
excited about it.
Yeah, this is a blend of
515
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,100
Whiskey's that come from Cedar
Ridge and from Indiana.
516
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,400
So if you can guess where the
whiskey and Indiana is coming
517
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,100
from, you'd probably be right.
I'm super excited about this,
518
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:37,900
man.
I've seen this It'll all over
519
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:41,200
Instagram.
It is a very picturesque bottle,
520
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,700
like it's a really nice one to
have on your bar, really draws
521
00:30:44,700 --> 00:30:46,800
attention to itself.
I'm hoping that the whiskey
522
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,900
inside the bottle is every bit
as good as the packaging on the
523
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:52,400
outside.
Brad, you actually did a little
524
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,300
bit more research on this than I
have.
525
00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:55,800
So, why don't you walk us
through?
526
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,300
What you've found out about this
whiskey?
527
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:04,700
Yeah, so this this whiskey is
coming in at 96 proof and they
528
00:31:04,700 --> 00:31:06,400
have already won a few Metals
Bob.
529
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,800
They've won a gold medal.
At the San Francisco World
530
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,100
Spirits competition as well as
the New York.
531
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:15,600
We World Spirits competition, so
the Beverly knows how to blend
532
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,100
some whiskey Coast-to-Coast,
awards for the Beverly.
533
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,200
That's right.
All right.
534
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,800
Let's jump in, man.
But, do you picking up on the
535
00:31:22,808 --> 00:31:24,500
nose here?
Oh man.
536
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,700
You know what?
I just realized it reminds me.
537
00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:32,900
A little bit of the outlands
scotch that you got us a while
538
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:36,300
back, really.
It literally just hit me.
539
00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:39,500
I like, I've already taken.
Taking my notes but yeah, it has
540
00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:45,300
like this, this sweet cherry
licorice knows that's mixed with
541
00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:48,800
like a cream of wheat, some
caramel, some black pepper.
542
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,500
It's a really really nice knows
Bob.
543
00:31:51,500 --> 00:31:54,600
Yeah, I think pepper is a really
great note to bring out on this
544
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,300
one.
It does smell like a bourbon.
545
00:31:56,300 --> 00:31:58,800
It smells like a high ride
bourbon, which I expected when
546
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,300
it's called the Beverly, High
Rye.
547
00:32:00,700 --> 00:32:02,700
So there's a lot of that Rice
spice on the front.
548
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:04,100
There's a lot of that
pepperiness.
549
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:07,600
I get a little bit of like a
Coca-Cola kind of Essence on
550
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,000
this one.
I like it a lot, not super
551
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,900
complex on the nose but it tells
me that it's going to be sweet
552
00:32:13,900 --> 00:32:17,600
but with a little bit of a kick
from that pepperiness when I get
553
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,100
into the taste here Brad, I'm a
little bit surprised that it's
554
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:22,700
not quite as sweet on the
palate.
555
00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:26,800
As I was expecting it to be and
it almost has a little maltiness
556
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,000
to it and I don't know if
there's any malt in any of the
557
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,700
mash bills that they're blending
here but when you said it
558
00:32:33,700 --> 00:32:35,900
reminded you of a scotch, that's
where my mind went.
559
00:32:35,900 --> 00:32:39,100
Is that on the Latt.
It's a little multi-year than it
560
00:32:39,100 --> 00:32:39,800
is.
Sweet.
561
00:32:39,900 --> 00:32:42,500
Yeah, it definitely came across
his creamy.
562
00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:45,900
For me, there is still some of
that cherry lingering from the
563
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:48,200
nose.
Then it got kind of minty at the
564
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,400
back end and I thought it was a
really really nice palette, mmm.
565
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:55,800
And when you get into the finish
here, it gets into a really
566
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,800
beautiful toasted Oak.
There's some marshmallow flavor
567
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,700
going on and for me, it almost
left a little bit of like an
568
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:09,900
angostura bitters flavor that
Almost got sour, like, my first
569
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:12,000
sip.
It almost got sour at the back
570
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,800
end, but the more I sat with it
and drank it, the more, it kind
571
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:20,400
of evened out into just that,
that angostura feel there's
572
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,100
quite a bit of smokiness on
this, and I wouldn't call it
573
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,500
like Pete, but it reminds me of
non peated scotches and how they
574
00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:30,200
still have that kind of like, a
wisp of campfire.
575
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,400
Smoke about them.
This has that, it's like minty
576
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,100
and Smoky.
At the same time, it definitely
577
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:39,200
turns.
A little bitter not sour but a
578
00:33:39,208 --> 00:33:42,200
little bit on the more Bitter
End of things on the finish.
579
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:44,600
I liked your note of angostura
bitters for me.
580
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,600
It doesn't quite have that level
of complexity to it, but
581
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:52,000
everything seems to be
consistent like that black
582
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,100
pepper E&R.
I note that I got on the nose,
583
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:57,800
really did a good job of
preparing me for where this was
584
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,100
going to go because otherwise I
would have thought this was
585
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:02,200
going to be way sweeter than it
is on the palate.
586
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,600
Yeah.
Bob this I mean the balance I
587
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,800
think that this is like Above
average complexity that has
588
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:14,600
really nice flavors throughout.
This is a really good whiskey,
589
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,400
man.
Alright, let's talk a little bit
590
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,000
about the price point on this
because you told me that you're
591
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,000
seeing at retailing for about
what $59.
592
00:34:22,699 --> 00:34:24,199
Yeah, 60 bucks.
All right.
593
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:27,800
So again I don't want to call it
a craft whiskey, but it is
594
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,199
coming from a smaller craft,
Distillery, at least some of
595
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:32,100
what they're sourcing is in
Cedar Ridge.
596
00:34:32,699 --> 00:34:35,600
And I like Cedar Ridge is stuff.
They're putting it in a really
597
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,900
nice bottle.
The packaging is Is like
598
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:42,300
Stellar, you know?
Just for $60 man.
599
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:45,500
It's like I would probably
recommend some other whiskies
600
00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:50,000
that I like better than this but
I also want to say that I don't
601
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,000
think this is overpriced like I
think it's a it's a fair value
602
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,500
for what you're getting.
Could it be a little bit cheaper
603
00:34:56,500 --> 00:35:00,300
and get a little bit of a higher
score on my my metric
604
00:35:00,500 --> 00:35:03,100
definitely.
But I also don't think that this
605
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:04,900
is like astronomically
overpriced.
606
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,400
No I think if I was Giving it a
value score.
607
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,000
I'd probably give it like a
seven.
608
00:35:11,100 --> 00:35:16,800
I think it should be, man.
If this was like, $42.
609
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,800
I think it'd be like a 9 out of
10 value.
610
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,500
Yeah.
But then you're asking them to
611
00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:25,700
get their price know, 100%?
I think maybe 50 to 55 dollars,
612
00:35:25,700 --> 00:35:28,800
might be a better price point,
but you know, 60 bucks it's
613
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,800
fine.
If I was scoring this out of 50
614
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,900
and, you know, including the
value score, I think I'd
615
00:35:33,900 --> 00:35:36,900
probably sit at like a 38 out of
50.
616
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:41,800
Like, I really nice experience
that I would probably recommend
617
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,600
buying a bottle.
Yeah, honestly, that the the
618
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,500
know what you're getting into.
Yeah, the packaging on this.
619
00:35:47,700 --> 00:35:50,100
Definitely takes it up a notch
for me and usually, we're not
620
00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:53,700
swayed by packaging but when I'm
on the fence about whether or
621
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:56,500
not to recommend the whiskey
itself, if you can have
622
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:58,700
something that's going to be a
conversation piece and going to
623
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:00,800
be eye-catching and it's only
going to cost you a couple more
624
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,000
dollars.
I'm all in on that and they
625
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,800
clearly put thought and effort
into the packaging here it's a
626
00:36:05,808 --> 00:36:08,400
custom-made bottle.
The labels really beautiful.
627
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,800
I love the color scheme on it.
So like absolutely, I'm going to
628
00:36:11,808 --> 00:36:13,600
go ahead and give this one a
stamp of approval.
629
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:14,600
Brad.
I don't know about you.
630
00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:18,900
Yeah. 100% if you find some
Beverly high-rise out there in
631
00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:22,000
the wild I would snag it
immediately.
632
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,700
All right man, let's get back
into talking with Jared, Dixon
633
00:36:24,700 --> 00:36:26,000
from Hamilton.
What do you say?
634
00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:32,200
Let's get to it.
Alright, so that was the
635
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,700
Beverly, High, Rye American
whiskey.
636
00:36:34,700 --> 00:36:36,500
We want to say thank you again
for this bottle.
637
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:39,300
We are getting back into our
conversation with Jared Dixon,
638
00:36:39,300 --> 00:36:43,100
who's currently on tour with
Hamilton as Aaron Burr and we're
639
00:36:43,100 --> 00:36:47,200
talking about our top five movie
musicals now, Brad.
640
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,200
I don't know how you made your
list up, but I tried to stick
641
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,800
with mine to like, Broadway to
movie adaptations because
642
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,800
there's so many musicals, we
could just do.
643
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,100
Yeah, you know, like Singing in
the Rain existed as a movie
644
00:37:01,100 --> 00:37:02,900
musical?
Well, before it was ever a show
645
00:37:02,900 --> 00:37:05,700
on Broadway.
So, like, for the most part, I
646
00:37:05,707 --> 00:37:09,000
did sneak one in here.
That's just a movie, but I tried
647
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,100
to go the Broadway route.
I don't know, guys.
648
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,300
Did you have trouble picking
just five, or is it like a
649
00:37:15,308 --> 00:37:18,800
pretty clear-cut list for you?
I mean, I don't even know if
650
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,300
Jarrod would be able to pick
five.
651
00:37:20,300 --> 00:37:22,200
No.
Because it doesn't seem like a
652
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,600
guy that's really steeped in
history of musical.
653
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,800
Now, Bob honestly, I am not like
the biggest musical guy in the
654
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,200
world as far as like history and
knowing them all, but I have
655
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:41,000
some that I've really enjoyed.
I think two of mine actually.
656
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,800
No, I'm pretty sure that to of
mine are Broadway to movie and
657
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,300
three are not.
Okay.
658
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,700
So, Mine are all over the place.
I got some Disney in.
659
00:37:49,700 --> 00:37:54,200
There you go.
As something Broadway to movie
660
00:37:54,300 --> 00:37:58,700
and I don't think I do.
I have any movie too bright?
661
00:37:58,700 --> 00:38:00,400
I don't think I have any movie
to Broadway in there.
662
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,900
Yeah.
See, I will say, I literally
663
00:38:03,900 --> 00:38:09,800
didn't even think about like the
90s Disney movies as musicals,
664
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,900
and yet, like, Bob.
And I were talking and he
665
00:38:11,900 --> 00:38:14,200
mentioned those.
And I was like, oh, I didn't
666
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,000
even think of putting those in
like Beauty.
667
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,900
And the Beast would be, it might
make my top 5 because I just
668
00:38:20,900 --> 00:38:24,700
freaking love that movie, right?
We've had this conversation so
669
00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:26,600
many times.
Brad about like, what makes Some
670
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,600
musical a musical is it?
Yeah.
671
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,600
Does the music have to be
diegetic?
672
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:33,100
Does a movie?
What was the one that we watched
673
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,800
Walk?
The Line, you know, where they
674
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,300
stop the movie 43 minutes or the
Johnny Cash can sing a song
675
00:38:38,300 --> 00:38:38,800
like?
Yep.
676
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,500
Does that make it a musical?
Just because there's a
677
00:38:40,508 --> 00:38:44,100
performance in it, you know.
And so I think yeah the lines
678
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:46,100
get blurred and it's up to
interpretation.
679
00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:48,500
But that's what makes these top
five list so good.
680
00:38:48,500 --> 00:38:51,500
So, I don't know, without
further Ado, let's just we'll go
681
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:55,900
one by one and we'll go from
five to one so Brad, and then
682
00:38:55,900 --> 00:38:58,000
Jared, What are your number five
picks?
683
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:03,200
My number five pick is my yearly
Christmas tradition.
684
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:07,500
I watch this and I watch It's a
Wonderful Life for sure like no
685
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:09,400
other movies, come and go some
years.
686
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,600
I watch Elf the Santa Claus but
every single year I will watch,
687
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,400
It's a Wonderful Life and White
Christmas.
688
00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:20,800
Mmm, I just absolutely love
white Christmas.
689
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,200
I love all the performances.
I think it's got that.
690
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,600
Like when you actually sit down
and watch Shit.
691
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:32,000
It's got so many weird, just
little scenes in the middle of
692
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,500
it, that only makes sense to
people who lived in the 40s and
693
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:37,700
50s and I still don't
understand.
694
00:39:37,900 --> 00:39:41,300
And I just love that, it makes
it feel nostalgic to me.
695
00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:46,900
So I'm a big fan of White.
Christmas number 5, I'm going to
696
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:50,400
stay Coco.
Oh yes, I knew.
697
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,100
I knew I liked this guy for a
reason.
698
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:55,100
Yeah, I was about to say Jared
you just want a best friend for
699
00:39:55,100 --> 00:39:59,600
life and Bob.
Ha ha Coco go so hard, and no
700
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,000
one gets it, like, local ghost,
oh, fuck.
701
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,900
It's I turn that movie on and
like, I'm entertained.
702
00:40:06,900 --> 00:40:09,200
I'm weeping.
All of the emotional roller
703
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,800
coaster that you could possibly
have comes from cocoa.
704
00:40:11,900 --> 00:40:13,100
Like Jared.
You thought you were going to
705
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:15,300
get to talk about coconut.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
706
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:18,200
No, no, you're right.
I'm sorry Jared.
707
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,900
Yeah, why why do you choose
Coco?
708
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:25,600
Oh, I actually had this
conversation with a producer of
709
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,700
Lion King.
If we were talking about the
710
00:40:27,707 --> 00:40:31,600
future of Disney on Broadway, I
was telling him I was like I
711
00:40:31,607 --> 00:40:34,700
don't even know if you guys know
what device has really made Lion
712
00:40:34,700 --> 00:40:40,000
King the phenomenon that it is.
I believe that all of the
713
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:45,800
musicals that are attached to a
culture that we know but don't
714
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,700
have full access and
understanding of are the ones
715
00:40:49,700 --> 00:40:53,200
that are fully expect that
become the most popular.
716
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,100
So like Lion King.
Is attached to Africa.
717
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,600
The Lion King, musical is
attached, deep in a deeper way
718
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,700
to Africa, but the movie is
attached to Africa.
719
00:41:04,700 --> 00:41:10,700
And, and the, you know, that
culture, I think that's what
720
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:13,400
made it to Broadway success.
That it is and cocoa, has that
721
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:18,600
same element with the thing
Mexican culture and all of the
722
00:41:18,607 --> 00:41:22,400
history, round, Dia, de los
Muertos and, you know, the food
723
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:27,500
in the then being shoemakers and
The Mariachis and all that stuff
724
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:32,000
and then on top of that, it's
just written, like it's written.
725
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,900
So, so, so so, so what?
Yeah, The Melodies are
726
00:41:35,900 --> 00:41:39,300
brilliant.
I love how it like, just How It
727
00:41:39,300 --> 00:41:42,900
Ends when she did the, The
Motif, remember, me?
728
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,500
It's like, it's mostly the
remember me, singing, the one
729
00:41:46,500 --> 00:41:49,300
line and remember me is like,
saying, Bing, Bong to anyone who
730
00:41:49,300 --> 00:41:54,600
sees the inside out.
Yeah, this guy gets it, Brad.
731
00:41:54,900 --> 00:41:57,400
Yeah.
Yeah, 100% gets it.
732
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,800
We listen to a Disney piano
playlist to put my daughter to
733
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:06,300
bed and remember me comes on
right after a.
734
00:42:06,300 --> 00:42:10,600
What's the song from Toy Story?
2 jazz is Sarah Mclaughlin one.
735
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,200
Yeah, yes.
It literally is the Sarah
736
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,200
McLachlan song and then remember
me and I'm like, trying to read
737
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,200
a book to my child and like,
trying not to weep.
738
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,800
Well, I'll wreck the moment here
because my number five is not
739
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,500
something that makes Me weep at
least but Brad, it's probably
740
00:42:27,700 --> 00:42:30,900
like one of the only Tim Burton
movies that I've ever actually
741
00:42:30,900 --> 00:42:33,200
enjoyed it.
Like he just doesn't do it for
742
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,500
me as a director, but I love his
adaptation of Sweeney Todd.
743
00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:41,500
Like, dude, it is it's really
good and that I mean again like
744
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:44,100
it's a, you know, when you talk
about Sondheim, like you could
745
00:42:44,100 --> 00:42:48,800
pick a number of different shows
but Sweeney Todd, like the the
746
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,100
show is amazing.
And then the movie itself is
747
00:42:51,100 --> 00:42:55,200
also really, really good and
it's really rare to find move.
748
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:59,600
These that successfully that
succeed as movies, in addition
749
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,700
to just like, hey, here's a
Broadway show.
750
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,500
Like they did something unique
with it.
751
00:43:04,500 --> 00:43:06,300
I thought it held up
artistically.
752
00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:12,300
I really enjoyed Sweeney Todd.
I will, I will actually agree
753
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,200
with any type of definitely on
my list.
754
00:43:14,500 --> 00:43:17,700
Oh, there you go.
Part of all right.
755
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:18,700
Brad.
Why don't you hit us with your
756
00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:21,400
number four?
Yeah, my number 4.
757
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,800
We're going back a little bit in
time.
758
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,900
I'm going to put up my fair.
R lady.
759
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:29,100
Oh nice.
Now I will say this is one.
760
00:43:29,100 --> 00:43:31,800
I have not watched an in quite
some time.
761
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,700
I think the last time I watched
it was probably high school but
762
00:43:34,700 --> 00:43:40,400
I remember just being so drawn
in by the chemistry between
763
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,000
Audrey Hepburn, and I can't
think of the name of the main.
764
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,400
The main male character
Harrison, I mean, yeah.
765
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,100
Movie.
It's Professor hickey.
766
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:50,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Professor Higgins.
767
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,600
Yeah, Rex Harrison and Audrey.
Hepburn are just incredible
768
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:54,800
together.
In that movie.
769
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,900
There was a there was a
production that I want to say it
770
00:43:57,900 --> 00:44:03,500
was like Lincoln Square a couple
years ago and some yeah the guy
771
00:44:03,500 --> 00:44:06,000
that sang on the street where
you live.
772
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,600
I wish I remembered his name.
He was incredible.
773
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,000
Like there's just so many great
numbers in that show.
774
00:44:13,900 --> 00:44:16,700
You know what Jared I'm gonna
let you give your number 4 and
775
00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:18,600
I'm going to Google real quick
who it was that saying that's
776
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,700
awesome.
My number four is very, very
777
00:44:22,700 --> 00:44:25,600
recent, I'm gonna go with the
new Matilda.
778
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:30,900
Oh, I haven't seen it yet.
It is astounding really.
779
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,900
Yes, it is.
A one of the best things that
780
00:44:34,900 --> 00:44:38,300
I've seen I was not say this
year but this business is too
781
00:44:38,300 --> 00:44:44,300
short year as one of the best
musicals I've seen in a while.
782
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:49,000
I'm definitely say that.
Wow, Matt Bob stumped by a
783
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:49,600
guess.
Yeah.
784
00:44:49,700 --> 00:44:51,800
Yeah, this is a rare occurrence,
man.
785
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:56,300
Yeah, I have Jared I am so
thankful that you have come on
786
00:44:56,300 --> 00:45:01,100
this show, so tell us just
really quickly one sentence.
787
00:45:01,100 --> 00:45:05,100
Like what made you love Matilda
so much to put it in your top
788
00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:08,400
five.
I mean, just the, the way that
789
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:14,800
the music flows with the, with
raw doll story and the words
790
00:45:16,300 --> 00:45:20,400
it's really, really smart.
It's just, it's really The dents
791
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:26,700
and Brilliant and for I mean in
those kids are just giving every
792
00:45:26,700 --> 00:45:29,700
ounce of Excellence that they
can possibly muster in that
793
00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:32,600
thing.
It also it just it feels really
794
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:39,700
good and it's not like It's not
very it's not very cookie cutter
795
00:45:39,700 --> 00:45:42,900
and kitschy it.
Yeah, it it allows itself to be
796
00:45:42,900 --> 00:45:47,600
as dark as I think Matilda
should be, they made a flip on
797
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,700
the character and she's not so
sweet and innocent with the
798
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:55,000
sneaky attitude.
She's like, she's a big shit
799
00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:00,900
like stepper.
Like she's definitely worth our
800
00:46:00,900 --> 00:46:03,100
weight in gold and that shot and
then show.
801
00:46:03,100 --> 00:46:05,700
So I really appreciate it.
Maybe it's on my list right now.
802
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,600
Because it's, you know, recency
bias?
803
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:12,000
Sure but her it really think it
stands up against any of the
804
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,300
like kid musicals that are that
are out there.
805
00:46:15,100 --> 00:46:19,300
I would say so far we have two
musicals prominently featuring
806
00:46:19,300 --> 00:46:22,100
kids for you Jared.
Yeah yeah I think that's
807
00:46:22,100 --> 00:46:24,300
something that maybe that has
something to do with the fact
808
00:46:24,300 --> 00:46:26,200
that I got one coming on the way
you do.
809
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,900
Your adulation is not the way
Brad relations, man.
810
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:29,900
Thank you.
Thank you.
811
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,800
All right, I'll go with my
number 40.
812
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,200
I found the guy from My Fair
Lady.
813
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,500
His name is Jordan Danica.
He He killed.
814
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:39,900
Yeah kill the song.
Like look at all the waiter
815
00:46:39,900 --> 00:46:42,000
about the Broadway.
Okay um yeah.
816
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,800
I don't know why he was able to
another show.
817
00:46:44,900 --> 00:46:48,800
Okay, one of my guys, oh yeah,
well, tell him, I said that he
818
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,700
absolutely annihilated that
song.
819
00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:53,500
Like it was this incredible.
All right.
820
00:46:53,500 --> 00:46:57,000
My number four.
I'm gonna go with a movie, that
821
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,200
really has fallen, like, by the
wayside, but it's from a show
822
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,700
that still performed a lot.
And that is the, the movie
823
00:47:02,700 --> 00:47:05,200
adaptation of Brigadoon.
This is a Rodgers and
824
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:06,400
Hammerstein.
Musical.
825
00:47:06,700 --> 00:47:09,500
I don't know why Brigadoon has
always had just a really special
826
00:47:09,500 --> 00:47:14,500
place in my heart, like it is,
it's cheesy as hell and I love
827
00:47:14,500 --> 00:47:15,400
it.
Like it's just, there's
828
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:20,100
something about a musical that
is completely Earnest with its
829
00:47:20,100 --> 00:47:24,900
own cheesiness that like, it's
endearing and, and like, it Gene
830
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:28,600
Kelly in the movie and Leslie,
Caron and like are not Leslie.
831
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,200
Caron said, Cherise in that
movie directed by Vincente
832
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,300
Minnelli, so it looks gorgeous.
I love that movie.
833
00:47:35,900 --> 00:47:38,600
Gene Kelly and I'm in love with
those songs.
834
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,500
So Brigadoon is number four.
If I am correct, Brigadoon is a
835
00:47:42,508 --> 00:47:48,500
Scottish themed movies and your
name is Robert the Bruce book.
836
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,500
That's that that's true
actually, yeah.
837
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,500
Okay.
I'm just, I don't know if I'm
838
00:47:52,500 --> 00:47:54,900
making a correlation here, so
I'm just asking questions up
839
00:47:54,900 --> 00:47:57,600
with it in my bones that
resonates with that musical.
840
00:48:00,700 --> 00:48:02,200
All right, Brad.
Let's go through these a little
841
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:03,600
quicker here, man.
We're Dragon.
842
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,600
We got to get this guy to bed so
he can perform tomorrow.
843
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,500
Row number three for you.
Brad number three, I'm going
844
00:48:09,500 --> 00:48:12,500
more recent as well.
I'm gonna go with lala land.
845
00:48:12,700 --> 00:48:16,500
Oh interesting.
Okay, I just, I love the story
846
00:48:16,500 --> 00:48:20,100
that is told by it.
I think that as a musical it is
847
00:48:20,100 --> 00:48:23,600
not necessarily the greatest
pure musical of all time.
848
00:48:23,900 --> 00:48:29,700
But I just love what, what she's
L did with the story and I think
849
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:32,500
that the cinematography of the
film was beautiful the way he
850
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:35,000
uses lighting throughout is
incredible.
851
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:40,300
So, I'm I was just really a big
fan of LOL and when it came out,
852
00:48:40,700 --> 00:48:46,200
all right, Jared number three.
I'm gonna go with Cinderella.
853
00:48:47,100 --> 00:48:48,800
Oh nice.
Brandy version.
854
00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:49,800
Okay.
All right.
855
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,200
Yeah.
Just buddy you got to specify
856
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,800
the bread with Whitney as the
the Godmother, right?
857
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,400
Yeah.
That that movie was just so
858
00:48:57,900 --> 00:49:00,800
Monumental in so many of my
friends is lives.
859
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:07,400
It's kind of like to me, it's
the Jake Johnson of Movie music,
860
00:49:08,900 --> 00:49:12,300
let's go.
But you got to give you got to
861
00:49:12,308 --> 00:49:15,000
give credit where credit is due.
Its the firt, you know, is one
862
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,400
of the first I think it's the
only time that I've ever seen a
863
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:27,300
black and white Mom and Dad
produce an Asian son break,
864
00:49:27,300 --> 00:49:29,700
breaking the laws of physics and
we love them for it.
865
00:49:29,700 --> 00:49:32,500
Like and again that's it that's
a Rodgers and Hammerstein
866
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:35,600
adaptation actually I did that
show in high school Brad.
867
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,300
And like, it's the kind of show
that if I can be frank, like it
868
00:49:39,300 --> 00:49:42,300
needed something to spice it up
a little bit and like, make it
869
00:49:42,300 --> 00:49:46,100
fresh and adding, those Dynamics
to it, bringing in Whitney as
870
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:49,300
the Fairy Godmother.
Like it, it's so, so good.
871
00:49:49,300 --> 00:49:50,500
I haven't seen that version of
forever.
872
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:51,700
I got to check that one out
again.
873
00:49:52,100 --> 00:49:54,500
Yeah.
All right, my number three.
874
00:49:54,500 --> 00:49:55,600
I'm gonna go with Les
Miserables.
875
00:49:55,600 --> 00:50:00,100
This is a movie that a lot of
people are iffy on as a movie,
876
00:50:00,700 --> 00:50:03,300
especially, like, with some of
the vocalist, in the movie.
877
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,000
I don't know, man.
It worked for me, and I'll Les
878
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,500
Mis is another one of those
shows that if it resonates with
879
00:50:09,500 --> 00:50:12,600
you, then it resonates at a
really, really deep level and,
880
00:50:13,100 --> 00:50:15,500
you know, the character of algae
on the themes of redemption and
881
00:50:15,500 --> 00:50:18,600
salvation in that movie, or
just, they hit me every single
882
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,900
time.
I can't watch that movie and not
883
00:50:20,900 --> 00:50:24,300
be moved by that final scene of
the barricade after Valjean
884
00:50:24,300 --> 00:50:28,100
passes on into the Afterlife.
It's, it's an incredible visual.
885
00:50:28,500 --> 00:50:33,500
Lame is my number three, Yeah,
all right, whatever.
886
00:50:33,500 --> 00:50:40,200
Dude Jared, why are you being so
rude to pacis?
887
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:45,200
All right, Brad number two.
Number two has already been
888
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:49,900
mentioned, dude.
I freaking love Sweeney Todd.
889
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,500
No.
Wow, you hang onto that.
890
00:50:51,500 --> 00:50:55,600
I I remember like watching it in
high school.
891
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,500
Our choir saying we didn't do
the musical, but our choir
892
00:50:59,500 --> 00:51:06,600
saying, You know, the lot of the
song sure it is just one of the
893
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:10,800
most fun like Darkly fun
musicals ever created.
894
00:51:11,100 --> 00:51:15,100
And I just think that Johnny
Depp and Helena Bonham Carter
895
00:51:15,300 --> 00:51:21,700
and Alan Rickman like it's just
such an incredible cast and they
896
00:51:21,700 --> 00:51:24,400
have so much chemistry in this
film.
897
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,200
That just brings this world.
This you know, ugly gross
898
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,800
British world to life.
Like dark and dirty and I just
899
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,900
man, it's so good dude, I'm
right there with you.
900
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,100
Sweeney Todd's.
Number two for me.
901
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:42,800
Come on, how come on, dear me?
You just talking about some of
902
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:48,200
the the most grimy dark dirty
text that we've ever gotten from
903
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:49,800
the man himself.
Hmm.
904
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:55,300
And like you said Johnny, Johnny
Depp that whole cast is stellar
905
00:51:56,100 --> 00:52:00,000
and it's what it's actually one
of the first musicals by sign.
906
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,900
Hi.
I'm, that made me really see the
907
00:52:03,900 --> 00:52:08,000
range of what theater is
possible capable of because
908
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,100
company was probably the first
one that made me go.
909
00:52:11,100 --> 00:52:15,400
Okay, I think I can do this.
And then I saw and then I
910
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,200
started digging a little bit
more into Sondheim and found
911
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:22,600
Sweeney Todd and some of his
others and it's just it holds a
912
00:52:22,607 --> 00:52:25,900
special place in my heart.
Jose Jared real quick.
913
00:52:25,900 --> 00:52:28,600
What's like a go-to song for you
from Sweeney Todd?
914
00:52:31,500 --> 00:52:35,700
Because for me, I love poor
thing I had.
915
00:52:35,700 --> 00:52:39,400
And I just think that as they
move through the story of
916
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,500
Sweeney Todd's former life where
she clearly kind of knows what's
917
00:52:42,500 --> 00:52:44,000
going on.
Yeah.
918
00:52:44,300 --> 00:52:49,200
What's happening in the story as
well as the actual lyricism and
919
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,700
the music that's going on?
I man it's just think it's
920
00:52:52,700 --> 00:52:54,800
incredible.
Honestly any Time Purell.
921
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:55,900
He's on, it's on.
The screen.
922
00:52:55,900 --> 00:52:58,900
Was like my favorite part of
that?
923
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,000
Sweet spot is so good.
Go ahead.
924
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,500
Sorry.
When you just when he goes,
925
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:06,400
finally my arm is complete.
Like there's like two of my
926
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:12,900
favorite has the feel of like
the Beatles.
927
00:53:14,300 --> 00:53:18,600
What's, I'll shoot my brain to
the the song that they made
928
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,400
that's completely based off the
circus poster?
929
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:26,000
Oh yeah, for the benefit of mr.
Kite, Yes, yeah.
930
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,400
Pirelli just has that Vibe about
it and it's perfect.
931
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,400
I was gonna say Sweeney Todd is
so good that they made a whole
932
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:37,200
episode of The Office where Andy
is in Sweeney Todd and and it
933
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,500
still holds up even after that,
like that's - eat.
934
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:42,600
All right.
Brad.
935
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,900
My number two is the only one on
this list that didn't start as a
936
00:53:44,900 --> 00:53:47,800
Broadway musical, but you know,
that of all the old MGM
937
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,000
musicals, it's my very favorite
and it is Judy Garland in Meet
938
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:51,900
Me in st.
Louis.
939
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,000
This is just, it's one of those
movies.
940
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:56,700
That's like kind of on the
border of even being a musical
941
00:53:56,700 --> 00:53:59,600
because there's only like, four
or five songs, but there's
942
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,500
something.
So, again, like Earnest about it
943
00:54:02,500 --> 00:54:05,500
and it's about a family and it's
about persevering through the
944
00:54:05,500 --> 00:54:09,100
hard times as a tight-knit
family that movie speaks to me,
945
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,100
I watch it every year at
Christmas, like you do white
946
00:54:11,100 --> 00:54:14,300
Christmas.
So that is my number two and
947
00:54:14,300 --> 00:54:17,500
that brings us to all of our
number one picks Brad.
948
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:22,300
What's your number one?
My number one, it is probably
949
00:54:22,300 --> 00:54:24,500
this might be a little cliche
but hopefully the rest of my
950
00:54:24,500 --> 00:54:27,900
list took care of that West Side
Story, man.
951
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:35,700
Yeah, okay.
It's a are you guys?
952
00:54:35,700 --> 00:54:37,900
There is Westside your guys is
number one.
953
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,700
It's my number one.
I didn't put it there for the
954
00:54:42,700 --> 00:54:46,400
purpose of just like, trying to
move the needle forward.
955
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,200
Yeah.
Yeah.
956
00:54:48,700 --> 00:54:50,800
Is it?
Is it, is it like a cliche in
957
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,100
the musical theater community?
That that is like like the, you
958
00:54:54,100 --> 00:54:58,100
know, it's like, you know, if
you don't know basketball, you
959
00:54:58,100 --> 00:55:00,100
know, Michael Jordan.
You just say yeah mine.
960
00:55:00,100 --> 00:55:01,900
We're gonna have the goat, but
you don't know why.
961
00:55:02,100 --> 00:55:06,300
Yeah, yeah and it I guess the
same thing could be said about
962
00:55:06,300 --> 00:55:08,900
LeBron so, you know.
Yeah.
963
00:55:09,300 --> 00:55:14,700
It's just a, for me.
If we're saying like top five, I
964
00:55:14,700 --> 00:55:18,300
wouldn't I try to stay away from
the like, the suggested top
965
00:55:18,300 --> 00:55:18,900
five.
Sure.
966
00:55:19,500 --> 00:55:22,300
Yeah, but you're not about to
say Singing in the Rain.
967
00:55:22,700 --> 00:55:24,400
No, no.
I'm gonna put.
968
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,700
I'm gonna put West Side Story as
my honorable mention, as the
969
00:55:27,700 --> 00:55:30,500
like, Mount Rushmore.
Yeah.
970
00:55:31,500 --> 00:55:36,100
Maybe all, by itself.
Yeah, of movie musicals, and I'm
971
00:55:36,100 --> 00:55:38,700
gonna go, I'm gonna throw you
guys a curve.
972
00:55:39,500 --> 00:55:43,900
I think this is a hot take.
I really dig in the Heights.
973
00:55:44,300 --> 00:55:47,800
Oh, okay.
Now you you were in in the
974
00:55:47,808 --> 00:55:50,400
Heights, right?
I was in Boston, actually.
975
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:58,500
Okay, for for the purpose of
what we're it came to us like
976
00:55:58,500 --> 00:56:01,200
the timing timing that I came to
us during the pandemic.
977
00:56:02,700 --> 00:56:09,000
Also, I'm a New Yorker.
I'm in Hamilton Lynn's my boss,
978
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:16,400
so I gotta write, right?
And just just for the purpose of
979
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:20,300
like, what in the Heights means
for I think this is the converse
980
00:56:20,300 --> 00:56:24,300
of like a, you know, when you
were saying a musical that was
981
00:56:24,300 --> 00:56:29,600
made better as a movie or vice
versa, even though the musical
982
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,200
is great, the movie, I don't
know the movie just did
983
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:34,800
something for me.
That was that was really
984
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:36,800
special.
I think it was very Monumental
985
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,000
and very extremely
underappreciated.
986
00:56:40,100 --> 00:56:42,400
Absolutely.
In my opinion both that movie
987
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,900
and the you know, the new
Spielberg version of West Side
988
00:56:44,900 --> 00:56:46,900
Story.
Like both of those movies
989
00:56:46,900 --> 00:56:51,700
deserve better and yeah.
You know, Anthony was so good in
990
00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:54,400
the Heights and I thought he was
going to get some more
991
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:58,700
recognition than he did, but
man, it was just a great movie.
992
00:56:58,700 --> 00:57:01,400
And again, like when you're
talking about lin-manuel
993
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,400
Miranda, like it's a great text,
but I think you're right.
994
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:08,100
I think the movie elevated the
show to a New Height there.
995
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:14,700
Yeah, the show, the show was, I
think, partly conflicted by the
996
00:57:14,700 --> 00:57:17,100
task that it had.
It had to be.
997
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:23,400
It had to be digestible enough
for Broadway audiences to get it
998
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:29,000
because I mean, maybe this is
another hot take, but, you know,
999
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,600
I think if you can get rich
dense Sondheim, like you can get
1000
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,300
hip hop.
And so, I don't think that we
1001
00:57:34,300 --> 00:57:36,800
should ever dumb down hip-hop
for musical theater sake,
1002
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:41,000
absolute Hamilton, prove that.
But the fact that it was new, I
1003
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:46,400
think that the, the, the, the
stage show just did so much to
1004
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,300
advance the ears of Senora of
musical, theater listeners.
1005
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:53,100
And without it, we wouldn't have
gotten Hamilton.
1006
00:57:53,500 --> 00:57:58,700
So, you know, I think the movie
musical is a bit of the same and
1007
00:57:58,700 --> 00:58:02,900
then it just just a director of
the direct direct oral choices
1008
00:58:02,900 --> 00:58:06,600
by John and chew having them on
the side of the building during
1009
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:12,100
Sunrise is shots of the gwb,
just a bustling neighborhood
1010
00:58:12,100 --> 00:58:16,200
that they created Anthony's
performance.
1011
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,300
I mean there was just so We need
the cameos and a bunch of my
1012
00:58:20,300 --> 00:58:22,900
friends are in it to that's the
reason it's up there for me.

Boston for a couple weeks,

I think two months
1030
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:19,500

00:59:19,500 --> 00:59:22,800

He's already reached the
Mountaintop with Aaron Burr and
1036
00:59:35,500 --> 00:59:38,200
