This week on Bar Cart Friday, Big Rich, TD and Fletch crack open a bottle of Hard Cut Vodka, the bold new spirit created by action movie legend Dolph Lundgren. Distilled from Idaho potatoes and Rocky Mountain water, this American-made vodka clocks in at 90 proof and has already taken home Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Known for its creamy texture and smooth finish, the vodka features tasting notes of green apple, fennel, roasted potato and butterscotch. So how does it actually taste? The guys put Hard Cut Vodka to the test, mix up a couple cocktails, and decide whether Dolph’s vodka really lives up to the hype or if it gets sent to the cutting room floor. Bar Cart Friday is presented by Keg N Bottle, San Diego’s go-to spot for craft beer, wine, and spirits. 🥃 What should we try next on Bar Cart Friday? Drop it in the comments! #BarCartFriday #VodkaReview #HardCutVodka #BigRichTDandFletch

by the way, Laura, you have been fantastic. We have

Cut Vodka.

Made us dirty Martiniz. We tried the vodka neat.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
We're going to do that all over again here on
the show, plus a brand new cocktail to try. But
before we get to all that, the man who created
just a year ago, Hard Cut Vodka. It is a
real pleasure to welcome Dolph Langren to the show, a
guy whose screen presence has been unforgettable from the moment
(02:18):
he stepped into the ring in Rocky for as Ivan Drago.
He kept it rolling through the Expendables, which I think
was a great movie, brought that character full circle again
in Creed two. He even made an appearance in Aquaman,
Dolf Rongler and a Lungeran. Welcome to the show, Welcome
(02:38):
to Big Rich, CD and Fletched. We are thrilled to.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Have your man on Man.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
Thanks, thanks thanice to be here.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Man.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
So we're big fans of your vodka. Holy Child, you
have done something really special. I don't know how you
fit potatoes into a bottle shaped like this, but you've
done a damn good job. This is good juice, buddy.
How did you get into the vodka game?
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Yeah, it was just happened by chance. I was, uh,
I was up at Santa Barbara dating my current wife,
and it's like five years ago, and I was complaining
about all the vodkas and I couldn't find what I liked.
They all tasted very harsh, and and she said, well,
you're you're from Sweeten, you played Russian, you're a chemical engineer.
You should be able to come up with something. And
(03:26):
I was, uh, you know, I kind of laughed it off,
and then I looked at the vodka section. It looked
kind of kind of boring compared to Kiel and Bourbon
and and and then we decided to Uh, now I'm
married to her, but she's she's so she's kind of
the boss, but uh, you know, we're together. We've uh
we've kind of set out to create, you know, the
(03:48):
best stationing vodka and then kind of a cool, cool brand,
and so here we are. We've been on the market
for about a year. So I really, uh it's been fun,
you know. I mean I grew up in swim where
everybody drings clear spirits, you know, and uh that might
from Norway, so we had a little experience to when
we came into this.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Now it's a potato vodka, which is pretty unique. I
think it's what under one percent of all vodka is
made by potatoes or from potatoes.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
What made you go? What made you go with potatoes?
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Yeah, what happened was we decided we wanted to taste
very a certain way, to be very smooth, and we
tried vodkers from all over the world, from Poland, from Sweden,
Europe and America, and then we found one that we
really liked from the Rocky Mountains from Idaho and it
which turned out to be potato and it actually we
(04:41):
noticed prior to that that all the good vodkas that
we liked with potato because there it's creamier. They have
all more there's for a month longer. Uh, there's there's
more body to it. So you know, we tried this
potato vodka if I might, and then one of the
samples actually was overproof, was forty five percent, and that
(05:06):
one was much better. It was smoother and stronger at
the same time. So that's how we arrived at the
product really kind of just by testing, drinking a lot
of Archers.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Now what's interesting Dolphin Dolph longer and joining us here
on big rich Stedium Fletch. It's a bark car Friday,
brought to by Keg and Bottletalk and Hard Cut Vodka.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You mentioned you're from Sweden.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
We knew you were this enormous Swede who we were
introduced to during the cameo or the first performance of
Rocky four, which was incredible. I named your character Ivan
Drago as my favorite movie villain of all time.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Your portrayal was ominous and.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Brooding, and like behind the steely eyes of Drago, you
could tell there was a whirlwind of guilt of maybe
a life misspent.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I loved your character.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
You watch it every single year, and I realize it's
mainly because of you, because I don't watch Rocky. I
don't watch Rocky too, nobody watches Rocky five. I loved
your character Drago, so but I did not know you
were a chemical engineer, right, Yeah, you just sort of,
(06:22):
I don't know, skim past that part of the byline.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
When did you become a chemical engineer? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Well, my dad was an engineer, my older brothers engineer,
my other brother's engineer, and I wanted to follow on
their footsteps. And I wanted to travel. And I was
pretty good at engineering in school, and I wanted to
come to America, and I couldn't afford it really, so
you know, I got scholarships. That's why I kept up engineering.
(06:53):
So I was in Australia, I was here, I went
to Clemson University. I was in Washington State for a while,
you know. But I always did a little bit of
of acting and a little bit of like painting music
on the side, so I had that kind of creative vein.
But I, you know, I just pursued engineering as a
kind of possible you know, uh, professional life. But I
(07:18):
was never really into it. I was it didn't excite
me really, So when I got involved in some modeling
in New York and acting, you know, I was also
Krebi Champions, I had that.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
You know, goodness, you know what, you know, fled hang
up on him? What are we talking about? This is
and now he has a potato.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah. I was going to ask if you thought Ivan
Drago the when he came into Rocky for his amateur
record was one hundred oh and oh and I believe
it was one hundred knockouts. And I thought that's a
little far fetched. And then you're giving us your real
life resume and probably wasn't enough.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Well, look, that character was iconic. It was a well
written character. It was was a great time obviously to
do a US Soviet kind of confrontation. And I, I mean,
I was pert perfect for the role. It was you
know a lot of that character, of that kind of
mix of sort of power and innocence. You know, I
(08:27):
had that that was me. You know, that was me
back then. And I think, like they said, camera is
an X ray machine and it sees the senses stuff
you're thinking. It sees through you, you know, And I
think that's why the character had ended up having a
little more you know, uh, if you like you did,
if you can, if you want to find other levels
(08:49):
of that performance, because it's a little bit like, you know,
Frankistein's Monster, Like, yes, the bad guys, Frankenstein, not the
monster monster. You kind of feel sorry for you.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Right right, the misunderstood giant who you know, who sort
of gets lost in the wilderness and then finds his
way home. You know what it really is exactly what
you said. The camera is an X ray machine. And
that's what I mean watching that movie as a kid
grown up, when you see Drago, you just think of,
you know, a monster. But then as you age, you're like, oh, yeah,
(09:24):
he was forced into all this. This isn't what he wanted.
He wanted to make potato vodka.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That's all he wanted to do. Potato farmers. Yeah, just
wanted to turn that into bus He was born in Idaho.
He was shipped off to the USSR.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
My god, he was a Swede who was born in
Idaho who was shipped in the USSR.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And then made to fight.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Rocky traveled north through the Canadian provinces, through Alaska, beyond
the Berry Straight and found himself at Soviet Russia. How
could this happened to a Swede? Anyways, Look, the point
is hard count. How did you come up with an.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
You guys are funny. Yeah, yeah, Well what happened was
we found the boat kind of turned out that well.
One thing we liked about it was that it was
kind of like, you know, like an action star, he's
got to be tough on the outside, but you gotta
have you gotta usually have like a romantic scene, you
gotta be soft on the inside. So it has kind
(10:25):
of that smoothness and the toughness. But you know, it's
it's hard to say looking at you know, we looked
at the bottle and am I wanted it to be
kind of like a kind of a bit of a
badass bottle with shoulders, like you said, dolphin a bottle
she called it. But anyway, I'll.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Tell you what. I ask you what your secret ingredient is.
Don't make it too far, but you better say.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Sweat to man. Oh man, it's it's delicious.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
But the name actually quickly the name uh came from
the editor film world, you know, post production and editing.
You hard time have a director's cut, jump cuts, hard cuts,
you know, hard cut from you know, La to New York. So,
and I thought, I thought of that, and then I
realized that, you know, you can say you talk about
(11:26):
a hard cut diamond or a heart cut character. So
I thought it kind of fit the bill.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I literally thought it was about your abs. I'm not
right now.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
I really liked all how you you credit your wife
to even giving you the idea to come out with
the vodka. You know, I feel like women in our
lives really do remind us, like, hey, you've got you've
got the means to do something, You've got the skill,
you've got the knowledge, go get after it.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, like clean up or hold the laundry.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
I know your wife reminds you of that.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I have the means.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Yeah, she's great. It's great to have something to work
on together, you know. So uh yeah, it makes there's
a bedroll around, and it's nice to have a woman
involved because you know, the sensibility is different, you know,
and she's wanted to pick the arrival together, but we
both agreed, but she has you know, she's most sensitive
(12:25):
to some things. So I think it's a good combination.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Writer, director, producer, actor.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You first saw him in Rocky four, but You've seen
him in so many things I mentioned expendables. Aquaman now
a producer of this delicious potato Voka Hardcut, which is
available at Keg and Bottle.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Any of the ten locations across San Diego.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Also Keg, the Letter Nbottle dot com you can find it.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I thought that you came up with the name because
you're marketing manager.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Laura came in and immediately challenged me to a knife fight,
and I was like, whoa.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
She was like, you want to get cut hard? And
I was like what. She was like, it's hard cut.
And I was like, God, Laura, take it easy.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I was like, But after her wild eyes settled and
she poured us some of this vodka, she really soothed
the room. She makes a heck of a dirty martini.
You'd be very proud of her. This this, I mean,
we're trying it with uh, we tried it straight TD.
I'll let you go because I've said so many things
(13:29):
about this is unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Oh, it's absolutely unbelievable. And it's it's this feels like
a top shelf vodka here. This is also one that
you're gonna want to put on your shelf. With the
signature on it, because Dolf is going to be out
at camb Bstro to night. If you are on YouTube today,
which is what is even today March six, Friday March six,
five pm to seven pm, camb Bstro in Del Sero.
(13:53):
Tony Kanjo here, owner operator of kmbby.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
Show up a little early because we're gonna have a
big crowd from every one that's been r s V
ping and uh so yeah, it's expected packed house. But

come on.
Speaker 1 (14:08):

Speaker 7 (14:09):
You were also he Man and Masters of the Universe kid, Dolf?
Speaker 1 (14:16):

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Were you invited to the new he Man They just

Speaker 6 (14:22):

a bottle of of of whistle pig or if you
stumble over there with the with a merleau, he'll break
(14:59):
the I'm over your head and they say, don't get
a hard cut, idiot.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
What does a bottle of hard cut costs? Tony? So
normally it's thirty five dollars to day. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
thirty five dollars. That's how much this bott I thought
you were going to say, eighty nine ninety nine.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
So I think the marketing strategies get you to try
it and then they'll raise the price. It is look
pre it looks premium as we all just taste it. It
tastes and Dolph, great job on going ninety ninety proof
and you know with forty five percent, because not only
you know you're.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Getting most people do eighty proof.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Yeah right, so you're getting yeah, forty forty, you're getting
more bang for your buck.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
The bottle looks great, that it tastes great.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
But if you mentioned the show and or if you
show up today, it's only twenty nine ninety nine.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
I'm sorry right somehow, Yes, I duck all those punches
his dogs.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah yeah, Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Oh I told this story to Laura earlier and Tony.
So we got this foster dog.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Loves vodka, by the way, Yeah, and she only drinks
potato vodka.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
So anyway, hardcut vodka. She slips her harness right, and
so I'm going for a collar. We're in the hallway,
the doors open, the gates open, so I'm like, oh
my god, we're about to lose the foster dog.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Athena, come back, Athena.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
No.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I go to grab the collar, and I'm going underhand,
you know, try to grab it from underneath, because she
you want to talk about ducking, She's fast, she's agile.
If I go from the top, shold duck it. So
coming from underneath, I'm mortal combat uppercut this dog. When
I tell you it is such a clean shot. She
didn't even mean, she didn't even know what dog took
(19:48):
the worst of it. But my heart broke in a second,
like I think I just killed his dog. Dude?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Does she look at you afterwards, like, hey, what's up, buddy?
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Well, so she lands flat on her back. I mean,
and you want to talk about hard cut, it was
a hard count. We got to eight.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Kidding. She shook it off super fast.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
She runs. I thought she was gonna run out of
the door. She runs to the couch and she sort
of cowers and lays down. So I go over there,
and this dog so sad.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You know what though she didn't feel a thing because
she was full of hard cut.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Did you cry?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yes, I if I step on my dog's little foot and.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I'm like, oh, my job.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Money.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
I tumbled to the ground in front of her on
the couch. Oh you got have whatever you want. You
have no idea how much popperoni this dog had last night.
I mean I filled her vomited in the kid's room.
I've ever felt more guilty about anything. I did feel
like a lot over feeds.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Weas over drinks hard cut.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Anyways, so that was my night, Laura.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
You've improved my day dramatically walking through the door here.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
You know, when you're armed with with vodka like this,
it's pretty easy to improve anybody's. Is that asopular? Yes,
that is a moscow.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
The drink.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
We were busy, so this is this is two ounces
of the hard cut, a little bit of angster bitters,
lime juice, and then some ginger beer.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
We had some guests come into the studio station.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, theyl They silently came in, stole drinks, and.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
We saw him peering through the window and we're like,
get on in here. I guess you can have a moscow.
Our logo is like the base of the Statue of Livery.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
It's like, give us your gold, give us your take
them off, yeah, your land.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
You know.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Actually, that's another good point that we didn't really super
hit on. But I love the fact that this is
one hundred percent made in the U.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
S A.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I love it too. You know what else is not
super hit on? Which, you know what, let's talk about this.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
If there was one brand that I'd be cool with
buying from Russia, it would be Dough.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I don't even think he's from Russia.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Apparently he's this this American vodka.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Oh my gosh, I remember when he said he was Sweden.
I'm like, that's right because I remember this was in
nineteen ninety eight. I went to the grand opening of
an Ikea in Westchester, New York, where Dolph Longrand.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Was hawking meatballs. Are you kidding me? No, of course
you're kidding. No.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Oh my god, bad year alcohol.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
You must have broke your bed because you're here and
I can't want the meatball anyway. So did we get hose?
Like everyone thought he was Russian? Well so yeah, literally
until this morning. So he's a good actor.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Yes, we're saying he also says like ten words in
the whole.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Movie, but again they still they were the words you needed. Yeah, God,
to watch the movie again.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I'm telling you, like his face changes throughout the movie
he doesn't want to do it.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I know.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah, at the end when he's going to kill Rocky,
he doesn't want to do it.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
He literally raises his fists and his like it's you
could see it, Like, dude, one's a good actor.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
How much time do we have on YouTube? Put Rocky
on more clear? I'm sorry, you're gonna missed the model sign.
We're just gonna do a marathon them.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Cat doesn't know the Rocky movie. So his character kills
Rocky's mentor in a boxing fun and this is in
Rocky number. What Rocky three is when Apaullo Creed dies
to Ivan Drago and then Rocky. The whole story of
Rocky four is he's going to get revenge. Was Rocky
three the handshake?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I believe? So that was.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
That was the frolic in the waters. That was the
weird beach scene. It was when Rocky became Creed's trainer.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Yeah, and yeah it was they're wearing short shorts. I mean,
so it was just so and had editing power, he
could have shortened that.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
He did not not know it went on way too.
Should we should we edit this beach scene?
Speaker 9 (24:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
That movie?
Speaker 5 (24:25):
We need two minutes of men in tight grays sweat shorts.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
But it gave us the handshake did and Ivan Drago
kills Rockies like leader didn't jump around.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It goes beyond that.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
So what happened originally was Rocky was trained by an
old man named Mick who had a hearing aid.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
He was wonderful. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
That was still on TikTok now when they play those
you got you gotta cry.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Oh I love mixed. So anyways, Mick dies.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
He has a heart attack because he was a fiery
old guy.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Right probably he was forty one years old and he
looked eighty five.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Correct, didn't know is different from Apollo. Yeah, hang on,
So Mick dies. Put it on your list, by the
way for baby name.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Because Mick dies, and then Rocky has to fight Apollo
and he like, I mean, he beats him. I mean
he got beat to like the end of the earth.
But he beats him. He wins because he's avenging mixed death. Right,
this one's the milk you know that kind of thing.
So anyways, Rocky three comes around. He's out of the
fighting because he got horribly mangled by Apollo in this win,
(25:38):
but he becomes Apollo trainer, and then Apollo dies at
the hands of Ivan Drago. They bring him back in
Rocky four and he avenges Apollo creed to death.
Speaker 10 (25:51):
In Russian territory. Should have won that fight. Because you
guys are friends now and you just talked to him.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
We have to.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
Yeah, when you have a chick, the Russian.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Was the destiny to work for him. Little did I know?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Now now in the movie in Rocky four, they worn Rocky,
He's going to kill you, just.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Like he killed a Bollo cream. My question is, I mean,
I'm misrememboring. Did he die in Rocky three or Rocky
for maybe at the beginning of Rocky four. I honestly
I'm having no. I think he died in three, which
was the Mister T One. It was the Mister t One.
It was that was three.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
But if he died in three with Mister t.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Because he goes he's a machine, Yeah, I did, he's
a machine.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
He was alive when in the Drago era, Yeah, but
that but that was man.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
Sounds like you guys need to rewatch.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
That was the beginning. But we got clear the rest
of our I think we get a bottle. Okay, come
to my movie room, okay, or yours?
Speaker 8 (27:02):
You have a movie room.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Who doesn't, Oh yeah, a movie a movie called my

steel or something.

before we get to all that, the man who created
just a year ago, Hard Cut Vodka. It is a
real pleasure to welcome Dolph Langren to the show, a
guy whose screen presence has been unforgettable from the moment
(02:18):
he stepped into the ring in Rocky for as Ivan Drago.
He kept it rolling through the Expendables, which I think
was a great movie, brought that character full circle again
in Creed two. He even made an appearance in Aquaman,
Dolf Rongler and a Lungeran. Welcome to the show, Welcome
(02:38):
to Big Rich, CD and Fletched. We are thrilled to.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Have your man on Man.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
Thanks, thanks thanice to be here.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Man.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
So we're big fans of your vodka. Holy Child, you
have done something really special. I don't know how you
fit potatoes into a bottle shaped like this, but you've
done a damn good job. This is good juice, buddy.
How did you get into the vodka game?
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Yeah, it was just happened by chance. I was, uh,
I was up at Santa Barbara dating my current wife,
and it's like five years ago, and I was complaining
about all the vodkas and I couldn't find what I liked.
They all tasted very harsh, and and she said, well,
you're you're from Sweeten, you played Russian, you're a chemical engineer.
You should be able to come up with something. And
(03:26):
I was, uh, you know, I kind of laughed it off,
and then I looked at the vodka section. It looked
kind of kind of boring compared to Kiel and Bourbon
and and and then we decided to Uh, now I'm
married to her, but she's she's so she's kind of
the boss, but uh, you know, we're together. We've uh
we've kind of set out to create, you know, the
(03:48):
best stationing vodka and then kind of a cool, cool brand,
and so here we are. We've been on the market
for about a year. So I really, uh it's been fun,
you know. I mean I grew up in swim where
everybody drings clear spirits, you know, and uh that might
from Norway, so we had a little experience to when
we came into this.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Now it's a potato vodka, which is pretty unique. I
think it's what under one percent of all vodka is
made by potatoes or from potatoes.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
What made you go? What made you go with potatoes?
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Yeah, what happened was we decided we wanted to taste
very a certain way, to be very smooth, and we
tried vodkers from all over the world, from Poland, from Sweden,
Europe and America, and then we found one that we
really liked from the Rocky Mountains from Idaho and it
which turned out to be potato and it actually we
(04:41):
noticed prior to that that all the good vodkas that
we liked with potato because there it's creamier. They have
all more there's for a month longer. Uh, there's there's
more body to it. So you know, we tried this
potato vodka if I might, and then one of the
samples actually was overproof, was forty five percent, and that
(05:06):
one was much better. It was smoother and stronger at
the same time. So that's how we arrived at the
product really kind of just by testing, drinking a lot
of Archers.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Now what's interesting Dolphin Dolph longer and joining us here
on big rich Stedium Fletch. It's a bark car Friday,
brought to by Keg and Bottletalk and Hard Cut Vodka.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You mentioned you're from Sweden.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
We knew you were this enormous Swede who we were
introduced to during the cameo or the first performance of
Rocky four, which was incredible. I named your character Ivan
Drago as my favorite movie villain of all time.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Your portrayal was ominous and.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Brooding, and like behind the steely eyes of Drago, you
could tell there was a whirlwind of guilt of maybe
a life misspent.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I loved your character.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
You watch it every single year, and I realize it's
mainly because of you, because I don't watch Rocky. I
don't watch Rocky too, nobody watches Rocky five. I loved
your character Drago, so but I did not know you
were a chemical engineer, right, Yeah, you just sort of,
(06:22):
I don't know, skim past that part of the byline.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
When did you become a chemical engineer? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Well, my dad was an engineer, my older brothers engineer,
my other brother's engineer, and I wanted to follow on
their footsteps. And I wanted to travel. And I was
pretty good at engineering in school, and I wanted to
come to America, and I couldn't afford it really, so
you know, I got scholarships. That's why I kept up engineering.
(06:53):
So I was in Australia, I was here, I went
to Clemson University. I was in Washington State for a while,
you know. But I always did a little bit of
of acting and a little bit of like painting music
on the side, so I had that kind of creative vein.
But I, you know, I just pursued engineering as a
kind of possible you know, uh, professional life. But I
(07:18):
was never really into it. I was it didn't excite
me really, So when I got involved in some modeling
in New York and acting, you know, I was also
Krebi Champions, I had that.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
You know, goodness, you know what, you know, fled hang
up on him? What are we talking about? This is
and now he has a potato.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah. I was going to ask if you thought Ivan
Drago the when he came into Rocky for his amateur
record was one hundred oh and oh and I believe
it was one hundred knockouts. And I thought that's a
little far fetched. And then you're giving us your real
life resume and probably wasn't enough.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Well, look, that character was iconic. It was a well
written character. It was was a great time obviously to
do a US Soviet kind of confrontation. And I, I mean,
I was pert perfect for the role. It was you
know a lot of that character, of that kind of
mix of sort of power and innocence. You know, I
(08:27):
had that that was me. You know, that was me
back then. And I think, like they said, camera is
an X ray machine and it sees the senses stuff
you're thinking. It sees through you, you know, And I
think that's why the character had ended up having a
little more you know, uh, if you like you did,
if you can, if you want to find other levels
(08:49):
of that performance, because it's a little bit like, you know,
Frankistein's Monster, Like, yes, the bad guys, Frankenstein, not the
monster monster. You kind of feel sorry for you.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Right right, the misunderstood giant who you know, who sort
of gets lost in the wilderness and then finds his
way home. You know what it really is exactly what
you said. The camera is an X ray machine. And
that's what I mean watching that movie as a kid
grown up, when you see Drago, you just think of,
you know, a monster. But then as you age, you're like, oh, yeah,
(09:24):
he was forced into all this. This isn't what he wanted.
He wanted to make potato vodka.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That's all he wanted to do. Potato farmers. Yeah, just
wanted to turn that into bus He was born in Idaho.
He was shipped off to the USSR.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
My god, he was a Swede who was born in
Idaho who was shipped in the USSR.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And then made to fight.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Rocky traveled north through the Canadian provinces, through Alaska, beyond
the Berry Straight and found himself at Soviet Russia. How
could this happened to a Swede? Anyways, Look, the point
is hard count. How did you come up with an.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
You guys are funny. Yeah, yeah, Well what happened was
we found the boat kind of turned out that well.
One thing we liked about it was that it was
kind of like, you know, like an action star, he's
got to be tough on the outside, but you gotta
have you gotta usually have like a romantic scene, you
gotta be soft on the inside. So it has kind
(10:25):
of that smoothness and the toughness. But you know, it's
it's hard to say looking at you know, we looked
at the bottle and am I wanted it to be
kind of like a kind of a bit of a
badass bottle with shoulders, like you said, dolphin a bottle
she called it. But anyway, I'll.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Tell you what. I ask you what your secret ingredient is.
Don't make it too far, but you better say.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Sweat to man. Oh man, it's it's delicious.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
But the name actually quickly the name uh came from
the editor film world, you know, post production and editing.
You hard time have a director's cut, jump cuts, hard cuts,
you know, hard cut from you know, La to New York. So,
and I thought, I thought of that, and then I
realized that, you know, you can say you talk about
(11:26):
a hard cut diamond or a heart cut character. So
I thought it kind of fit the bill.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I literally thought it was about your abs. I'm not
right now.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
I really liked all how you you credit your wife
to even giving you the idea to come out with
the vodka. You know, I feel like women in our
lives really do remind us, like, hey, you've got you've
got the means to do something, You've got the skill,
you've got the knowledge, go get after it.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, like clean up or hold the laundry.
Speaker 8 (11:58):

on together, you know. So uh yeah, it makes there's
a bedroll around, and it's nice to have a woman
involved because you know, the sensibility is different, you know,
and she's wanted to pick the arrival together, but we
both agreed, but she has you know, she's most sensitive
(12:25):
to some things. So I think it's a good combination.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Writer, director, producer, actor.

I was like, But after her wild eyes settled and
she poured us some of this vodka, she really soothed
the room. She makes a heck of a dirty martini.
You'd be very proud of her. This this, I mean,
we're trying it with uh, we tried it straight TD.
I'll let you go because I've said so many things
(13:29):
about this is unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Oh, it's absolutely unbelievable. And it's it's this feels like
a top shelf vodka here. This is also one that

a hard cut, idiot.
Speaker 1 (15:05):

normally it's thirty five dollars to day. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
thirty five dollars. That's how much this bott I thought
you were going to say, eighty nine ninety nine.

it and then they'll raise the price. It is look
pre it looks premium as we all just taste it. It
tastes and Dolph, great job on going ninety ninety proof
and you know with forty five percent, because not only

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah yeah, Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Oh I told this story to Laura earlier and Tony.
So we got this foster dog.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Loves vodka, by the way, Yeah, and she only drinks
potato vodka.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
So anyway, hardcut vodka. She slips her harness right, and
so I'm going for a collar. We're in the hallway,
the doors open, the gates open, so I'm like, oh
my god, we're about to lose the foster dog.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Athena, come back, Athena.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
No.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I go to grab the collar, and I'm going underhand,
you know, try to grab it from underneath, because she
you want to talk about ducking, She's fast, she's agile.
If I go from the top, shold duck it. So
coming from underneath, I'm mortal combat uppercut this dog. When
I tell you it is such a clean shot. She
didn't even mean, she didn't even know what dog took
(19:48):
the worst of it. But my heart broke in a second,
like I think I just killed his dog. Dude?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Does she look at you afterwards, like, hey, what's up, buddy?
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Well, so she lands flat on her back. I mean,
and you want to talk about hard cut, it was
a hard count. We got to eight.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Kidding. She shook it off super fast.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
She runs. I thought she was gonna run out of
the door. She runs to the couch and she sort
of cowers and lays down. So I go over there,
and this dog so sad.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You know what though she didn't feel a thing because
she was full of hard cut.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Did you cry?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yes, I if I step on my dog's little foot and.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I'm like, oh, my job.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Money.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
I tumbled to the ground in front of her on
the couch. Oh you got have whatever you want. You
have no idea how much popperoni this dog had last night.
I mean I filled her vomited in the kid's room.
I've ever felt more guilty about anything. I did feel
like a lot over feeds.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Weas over drinks hard cut.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Anyways, so that was my night, Laura.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
You've improved my day dramatically walking through the door here.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
You know, when you're armed with with vodka like this,
it's pretty easy to improve anybody's. Is that asopular? Yes,
that is a moscow.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
The drink.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
We were busy, so this is this is two ounces
of the hard cut, a little bit of angster bitters,
lime juice, and then some ginger beer.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
We had some guests come into the studio station.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, theyl They silently came in, stole drinks, and.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
We saw him peering through the window and we're like,
get on in here. I guess you can have a moscow.
Our logo is like the base of the Statue of Livery.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
It's like, give us your gold, give us your take
them off, yeah, your land.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
You know.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Actually, that's another good point that we didn't really super
hit on. But I love the fact that this is
one hundred percent made in the U.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
S A.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I love it too. You know what else is not
super hit on? Which, you know what, let's talk about this.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
If there was one brand that I'd be cool with
buying from Russia, it would be Dough.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I don't even think he's from Russia.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Apparently he's this this American vodka.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Oh my gosh, I remember when he said he was Sweden.
I'm like, that's right because I remember this was in
nineteen ninety eight. I went to the grand opening of
an Ikea in Westchester, New York, where Dolph Longrand.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Was hawking meatballs. Are you kidding me? No, of course
you're kidding. No.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Oh my god, bad year alcohol.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
You must have broke your bed because you're here and
I can't want the meatball anyway. So did we get hose?
Like everyone thought he was Russian? Well so yeah, literally
until this morning. So he's a good actor.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Yes, we're saying he also says like ten words in
the whole.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Movie, but again they still they were the words you needed. Yeah, God,
to watch the movie again.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I'm telling you, like his face changes throughout the movie
he doesn't want to do it.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I know.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah, at the end when he's going to kill Rocky,
he doesn't want to do it.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
He literally raises his fists and his like it's you
could see it, Like, dude, one's a good actor.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
How much time do we have on YouTube? Put Rocky
on more clear? I'm sorry, you're gonna missed the model sign.
We're just gonna do a marathon them.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Cat doesn't know the Rocky movie. So his character kills
Rocky's mentor in a boxing fun and this is in
Rocky number. What Rocky three is when Apaullo Creed dies
to Ivan Drago and then Rocky. The whole story of
Rocky four is he's going to get revenge. Was Rocky
three the handshake?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I believe? So that was.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
That was the frolic in the waters. That was the
weird beach scene. It was when Rocky became Creed's trainer.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Yeah, and yeah it was they're wearing short shorts. I mean,
so it was just so and had editing power, he
could have shortened that.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
He did not not know it went on way too.
Should we should we edit this beach scene?
Speaker 9 (24:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
That movie?
Speaker 5 (24:25):
We need two minutes of men in tight grays sweat shorts.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
But it gave us the handshake did and Ivan Drago
kills Rockies like leader didn't jump around.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It goes beyond that.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
So what happened originally was Rocky was trained by an
old man named Mick who had a hearing aid.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
He was wonderful. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
That was still on TikTok now when they play those
you got you gotta cry.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Oh I love mixed. So anyways, Mick dies.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
He has a heart attack because he was a fiery
old guy.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Right probably he was forty one years old and he
looked eighty five.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Correct, didn't know is different from Apollo. Yeah, hang on,
So Mick dies. Put it on your list, by the
way for baby name.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Because Mick dies, and then Rocky has to fight Apollo
and he like, I mean, he beats him. I mean
he got beat to like the end of the earth.
But he beats him. He wins because he's avenging mixed death. Right,
this one's the milk you know that kind of thing.
So anyways, Rocky three comes around. He's out of the
fighting because he got horribly mangled by Apollo in this win,
(25:38):
but he becomes Apollo trainer, and then Apollo dies at
the hands of Ivan Drago. They bring him back in
Rocky four and he avenges Apollo creed to death.
Speaker 10 (25:51):
In Russian territory. Should have won that fight. Because you
guys are friends now and you just talked to him.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
We have to.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
Yeah, when you have a chick, the Russian.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Was the destiny to work for him. Little did I know?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Now now in the movie in Rocky four, they worn Rocky,
He's going to kill you, just.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Like he killed a Bollo cream. My question is, I mean,
I'm misrememboring. Did he die in Rocky three or Rocky
for maybe at the beginning of Rocky four. I honestly
I'm having no. I think he died in three, which
was the Mister T One. It was the Mister t One.
It was that was three.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
But if he died in three with Mister t.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Because he goes he's a machine, Yeah, I did, he's
a machine.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
He was alive when in the Drago era, Yeah, but
that but that was man.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
Sounds like you guys need to rewatch.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
That was the beginning. But we got clear the rest
of our I think we get a bottle. Okay, come
to my movie room, okay, or yours?
Speaker 8 (27:02):
You have a movie room.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Who doesn't, Oh yeah, a movie a movie called my
living room. It's my it's where I watch movies, where
we watch our movie.
Speaker 9 (27:13):
You know.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
Do you have a theater in your house?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Of course? Yes, yeah, yeah, and it has a full
candy ball over over.
Speaker 5 (27:20):

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
