[00:00:26] Hey everybody, welcome to the show.
[00:00:28] My name is Alex.
[00:00:29] My name is Jerry.
[00:00:30] And today we are talking season finale of
[00:00:35] season one, episode eight of 1923,
[00:00:40] Nothing Left to Lose.
[00:00:41] And Jerry, can you believe we finally got here?
[00:00:46] Yeah, it's been a long road here.
[00:00:50] And it's, you know, eight episodes seem like
[00:00:53] it was gonna be so sharp,
[00:00:54] but with a break it seemed a little bit long.
[00:00:57] You know, and I know we were just talking right before the show.
[00:01:01] It's like, not that I want it to end cause I don't,
[00:01:04] but at the same time it's like finally, you know.
[00:01:07] It's a lot to take.
[00:01:08] I'm sorry?
[00:01:09] It's a lot to take.
[00:01:11] It is a lot to take.
[00:01:12] And we have a lot to talk about on this episode.
[00:01:17] And folks, you know, if you enjoy the podcast
[00:01:22] or you enjoy the show, please add comments to the,
[00:01:28] either the Facebook answer, I'm sorry,
[00:01:31] the YouTube or the Apple podcast.
[00:01:35] If you wanna give us a review or anything like that.
[00:01:39] So that said, what were some of your first thoughts?
[00:01:42] Oh wait, before we do that, we have to do description.
[00:01:44] Why don't you do your, your a,
[00:01:46] Gerrified description.
[00:01:49] Okay, well number one, no Isabel Mayne.
[00:01:52] It may narration, which kind of like gives me a sad face.
[00:01:55] Yes it does.
[00:01:56] I would have a sad face for that.
[00:01:57] I always liked hearing her voice,
[00:01:59] but to summarize, Tiona finds some love on the run.
[00:02:05] Banner and Whitfield are still colossal jerks.
[00:02:08] Jacob needs some cash to pay his property taxes.
[00:02:11] The Dutton suffer another tragedy
[00:02:13] and Spencer and Alexandra have one
[00:02:16] of the worst cruises ever.
[00:02:18] Pretty much you have got that nail on the head
[00:02:21] and we're done.
[00:02:22] So see you next season.
[00:02:23] And that was pretty much it.
[00:02:24] Now, you know, in terms of my first thoughts on the show,
[00:02:30] it wasn't the best episode.
[00:02:33] I'm not gonna lie for me.
[00:02:34] I mean, it was a great episode.
[00:02:36] It moves the story and it has a great cliffhanger.
[00:02:42] Again, it just, it was a good episode.
[00:02:48] It wasn't great.
[00:02:50] And I think that that's where it falls short for me.
[00:02:53] It has all the pieces that you want, couple pieces
[00:02:56] don't really need, but on the whole,
[00:03:00] if it was on a raining of one to five
[00:03:06] or one to six bullets,
[00:03:08] I'd give it probably a five and a half bullets.
[00:03:11] It's just, they did everything they needed to do.
[00:03:16] It just, there were some parts
[00:03:17] that it just kind of got slow.
[00:03:19] I don't know about you.
[00:03:20] I mean, what's your first thoughts?
[00:03:22] Well, I think that the parts with like the marshals
[00:03:27] were a little bit slow because you want them to pick up
[00:03:30] but they were kind of like piecing together
[00:03:32] what happened, what we saw with Tiona
[00:03:35] and the priest following her, getting ahold of Pete
[00:03:39] and catching up with her and her dad
[00:03:42] or her and Hank, excuse me, not her dad but Hank.
[00:03:45] Yeah, no.
[00:03:46] I mean, that definitely was some interesting story.
[00:03:51] So let's get into it.
[00:03:53] And the cold open goes right into the Indian storyline.
[00:04:00] Yes.
[00:04:01] And I find it kind of interesting
[00:04:04] how these marshals all vary.
[00:04:07] I should say all the law varies
[00:04:10] throughout the country at this point.
[00:04:16] Indians are basically not even third class
[00:04:19] but almost fourth class citizens if there was a thing.
[00:04:21] And we find out that there's some other citizens
[00:04:24] that probably go below them in some cases.
[00:04:28] But what did you think of the manhunt?
[00:04:32] Basically, the manhunt for Tiona and her dad
[00:04:37] and...
[00:04:42] Benny?
[00:04:44] I'm sorry.
[00:04:45] Pete?
[00:04:46] Yes, I'm sorry.
[00:04:47] I was gonna say, I don't know why I was thinking Benny.
[00:04:48] I don't know what I was thinking.
[00:04:50] And Pete, what was your take on that whole manhunt?
[00:04:56] Well, see here, because the father Renaud
[00:05:01] was talking with the lead marshal,
[00:05:02] the one that we saw knock the grandmother out
[00:05:06] a couple episodes ago and killer.
[00:05:10] The marshal's gonna start again.
[00:05:11] By the way, those two are a great match
[00:05:14] and they should have their own series.
[00:05:17] Jackass and dumbass could ride off into the sunset
[00:05:21] in my opinion, but anyway.
[00:05:23] Yeah, but he wants to say,
[00:05:25] father's gonna say we're gonna go along,
[00:05:27] we're gonna bring some marshals back
[00:05:28] and you're gonna come with us.
[00:05:30] And he's like, what?
[00:05:32] Do you like to ride?
[00:05:33] Oh yes, oh yeah.
[00:05:35] Yeah, it was like, well, you're the only one
[00:05:37] who knows who she looks like
[00:05:38] because they can't be sure what's gonna happen to them.
[00:05:40] They aren't sure what happened to the priests.
[00:05:42] Right.
[00:05:43] They have to say,
[00:05:49] we need you.
[00:05:50] And then they take off with,
[00:05:53] I think it's a total of five people that are on this trip.
[00:05:57] Going down.
[00:05:58] I love, I just wanna just jump back.
[00:06:00] That first scene, they have the room
[00:06:03] where the two girls or all the girls
[00:06:05] are sleeping or whatever
[00:06:06] and the beds are all rolled up
[00:06:08] and he mentioned something.
[00:06:09] Oh, where's their belongings?
[00:06:10] Oh, they don't have any belongings.
[00:06:12] It's just the lack of...
[00:06:20] I would say privacy.
[00:06:22] Privacy but humanity, I mean, people have stuff.
[00:06:27] Yeah.
[00:06:28] They deserve to have something.
[00:06:31] And the fact that the Americans
[00:06:35] or I should say the Christians
[00:06:37] were trying to purify them
[00:06:39] of all of their awful sins
[00:06:42] is just the way they did it is just...
[00:06:45] I mean...
[00:06:46] It's sickening.
[00:06:47] It is sickening.
[00:06:48] And I know anybody that's listening
[00:06:51] that either lives in that area or is Indian,
[00:06:58] probably is like, yeah, it's been going on since,
[00:07:00] I don't know, since Columbus
[00:07:03] and they just can't get a break.
[00:07:06] And it's just a shame that Taylor Sheridan does a great job
[00:07:12] and in terms of showing the realness of it,
[00:07:16] but at the same time,
[00:07:19] you don't wanna see it,
[00:07:20] but I guess you're forced to see it
[00:07:21] because you have to see it.
[00:07:23] So I just loved that whole palette of colors.
[00:07:28] It's just off, nothing vibrant,
[00:07:31] nothing happy about the church.
[00:07:35] You stick to church.
[00:07:36] So I'm sorry, so they end up keep going
[00:07:39] and then they find a couple of bodies.
[00:07:44] Yeah, and these are the ones that had Hank had a...
[00:07:48] Not Hank, but sorry.
[00:07:51] Tiona's dad had a...
[00:07:55] Hank had killed these guys,
[00:07:56] but her dad wrote Child Killer on the pair that was...
[00:08:01] Yes, oh yeah, that was nice.
[00:08:04] That was a nice extra touch.
[00:08:05] Yeah, and then wraps up Hank in a blanket for his...
[00:08:10] Oh, sorry.
[00:08:12] That's okay.
[00:08:14] But this part of the show is sponsored by Chester.
[00:08:19] Yes, when you need a support animal for 1923,
[00:08:27] you just grab a Chester and it's not a gun,
[00:08:30] but an actual cat
[00:08:32] and they will make you a lot more comfortable
[00:08:34] than any person that is trying to beat the Christian into you.
[00:08:39] Yes.
[00:08:40] So we were saying...
[00:08:41] Okay, yeah, because we have...
[00:08:45] When Tiona gets up and sees what's happening,
[00:08:52] because Pete's...
[00:08:56] So her dad had found her in that one spot,
[00:08:59] says, you know, I'm not hurt, I'm just sore.
[00:09:03] She's not eating, but in her face shows it.
[00:09:06] Yeah, and she looked like she was the punching bag
[00:09:08] from Mike Tyson's punch out.
[00:09:11] Yes.
[00:09:12] Yeah, and when they're gonna take her with
[00:09:16] and she goes out and talks with a little bit with Pete
[00:09:20] and this is when the episode goes into the cold open,
[00:09:25] we see them leave the spot where the priests were killed
[00:09:28] and Hank was wrapped up in a blanket,
[00:09:31] I think, you know, because I don't think they wanted
[00:09:33] to take the time to bury him at this point
[00:09:35] because they just had to hightail it at the heck out of there.
[00:09:39] And we go...
[00:09:40] And I'm gonna go with their story first.
[00:09:43] Yeah, sure.
[00:09:44] Yeah, so we see that Tiona when they're at a campfire,
[00:09:48] see Tiona talking with Pete
[00:09:50] and they kind of find some affection between the two
[00:09:52] and the dad's like, no, none of that,
[00:09:54] no googly eyes, no between you.
[00:09:56] I love this scene.
[00:09:58] I love it because he's just like,
[00:10:00] one, I can't deal with this.
[00:10:03] Two, he does make a very good point right now
[00:10:07] because if they are together,
[00:10:09] then that could jeopardize what they're doing.
[00:10:13] And three, he doesn't wanna deal with his daughter
[00:10:16] and boyfriends.
[00:10:17] Yes, exactly.
[00:10:19] I mean, let's go with what it is.
[00:10:20] Yeah, and he said something about thinking
[00:10:23] about the future and she's like,
[00:10:24] I don't think there's gonna be a future or something.
[00:10:27] Yeah, she's like in the now right now.
[00:10:29] Yeah, we're in the here and now.
[00:10:33] And just to go to the title of this,
[00:10:36] she's got nothing left to lose.
[00:10:38] Exactly.
[00:10:39] What I also noticed about that scene was he falls asleep
[00:10:44] and she just starts bawling into...
[00:10:47] Yeah, she finally could let it go.
[00:10:50] Like all that.
[00:10:50] Pete's arms.
[00:10:51] Yeah.
[00:10:52] And they're a great couple.
[00:10:53] I mean, they're both really cute in terms of,
[00:10:57] they don't know what they don't know
[00:10:58] and they're just having fun
[00:11:00] and they're the same age.
[00:11:02] So it's like, hey, you know, it's Slim Pickens.
[00:11:08] But no, I think they have that bond.
[00:11:10] He was in the schools.
[00:11:13] He got his beating.
[00:11:14] She was in the school.
[00:11:15] She got her beating.
[00:11:16] So it's a great way to kind of meet.
[00:11:20] But I do find it interesting is
[00:11:24] they said that they were gonna go down south.
[00:11:28] To Comanche Reservation.
[00:11:29] To Comanche's, because they can hide.
[00:11:31] And then they end up going north to Wyoming.
[00:11:35] And I think that...
[00:11:38] Oh, no, no.
[00:11:39] The Wyoming south.
[00:11:40] Oh, I'm sorry.
[00:11:41] Oh, geez.
[00:11:41] Yeah, they were taking a lot going...
[00:11:43] Some of us just don't know our maps anymore.
[00:11:46] And they end up doing that.
[00:11:47] But at the same time, you know,
[00:11:52] the law is on their tail.
[00:11:53] Yes.
[00:11:54] The law is on their tail.
[00:11:56] It's gonna be interesting if and when they do get caught.
[00:11:59] How is that going to affect everything?
[00:12:02] And by the time they do get caught,
[00:12:03] who knows when that can be?
[00:12:05] Because we don't know when season two is going to pick up.
[00:12:08] Yeah.
[00:12:09] But here, there's a kind of an intertwining...
[00:12:12] You know, that they go between the marshals
[00:12:14] and them in this part of the story
[00:12:16] is that we see the marshals
[00:12:18] at when they've come across the two other priests
[00:12:20] that have the word child killer written on them.
[00:12:22] And they're saying, well, where could they have gone?
[00:12:25] And they said, you know, tough out the winter.
[00:12:27] He said, well, that's kind of tough.
[00:12:28] They would go to any father says, Canada.
[00:12:30] And I was like, well, no.
[00:12:31] And then the marshals says, well,
[00:12:34] maybe somewhere friendly or somewhere they can hide.
[00:12:37] And they say, well, the Comanche's
[00:12:39] Comanche reservations here, but it's a long hard ride.
[00:12:44] And he said, okay, we're gonna take the train.
[00:12:46] And we'll meet him there.
[00:12:47] We'll meet him there.
[00:12:48] And then what we leave off Tiona and this trio with
[00:12:54] is that they are looking at some mountains to get over.
[00:12:57] And this is like probably the north side of the Rockies.
[00:13:02] Yeah.
[00:13:03] And I say, well, this is where we gotta go
[00:13:04] and it's not gonna be easy.
[00:13:06] No, no, it's not.
[00:13:07] I mean, you know, if anything,
[00:13:11] this show has proven that if you get any good thread,
[00:13:16] you're in for three bad punches.
[00:13:19] You know, it's like I punch you once,
[00:13:21] you get three back.
[00:13:22] And that alone could be its own series,
[00:13:26] then going through the Rockies.
[00:13:29] So yeah, no, I mean, and they've really proven
[00:13:32] that they can, they're tough in it.
[00:13:37] I mean, they are a tough breed and they know the land
[00:13:41] and they know what they need to do and how to do it.
[00:13:44] And they're gonna just protect themselves
[00:13:47] and he's trying to protect his daughter
[00:13:49] and his adopted son, so to speak.
[00:13:52] And they're going.
[00:13:54] So good luck to them and we'll see them hopefully
[00:13:58] not on the train, but on the other side
[00:14:01] of the rocks or the Rockies.
[00:14:05] And ahead of the law.
[00:14:07] And ahead of the law.
[00:14:08] I have a bad feeling they're not gonna be ahead of the law.
[00:14:11] And there's no way.
[00:14:13] I mean, you can't beat a train.
[00:14:17] So then we turn to the Dutton's.
[00:14:21] Jacob.
[00:14:23] And it's very interesting how quick
[00:14:29] they've moved technology.
[00:14:34] I don't know if it would have,
[00:14:35] if it really moved this quick or not,
[00:14:37] but it just seems like within a couple of months
[00:14:43] they went from prohibition, everybody's,
[00:14:47] you know, walking around in horses to,
[00:14:51] you know.
[00:14:52] Everybody's got a car.
[00:14:53] Everybody's got a car and there's no posts
[00:14:56] for the horses anymore.
[00:14:58] Yeah.
[00:14:59] And they make their own, they make their own hitching posts.
[00:15:02] It's like, well, you took my parking spot away
[00:15:04] so I'm gonna make a new one.
[00:15:05] Exactly.
[00:15:07] This is when Jacob and his boys
[00:15:09] go to the Arrayment of Banner.
[00:15:13] Courthouse.
[00:15:14] And this is kind of an interesting thing
[00:15:16] because this is kind of the first stake
[00:15:19] in the Dutton's coffin in terms of what's right
[00:15:26] doesn't mean what fits in the law.
[00:15:29] And this is where I think modernization
[00:15:36] is coming to the Yellowstone
[00:15:39] because just because it's not business as usual.
[00:15:45] It's not business as usual.
[00:15:47] He goes to the bank.
[00:15:48] He basically, the banker tells him,
[00:15:50] hey, we've always worked on a handshake.
[00:15:53] I've always paid my loans.
[00:15:56] Well, it's a different world now.
[00:15:58] We're more mechanized, we're more this, we're more that.
[00:16:01] And he's getting painted into a corner.
[00:16:05] So he goes to the courthouse
[00:16:07] and what ends up happening?
[00:16:09] Well here his lawyer gets him off of the,
[00:16:13] not off the charge but released without bail.
[00:16:16] Is because it's like, well there's no real evidence
[00:16:19] and there's evidence against Dutton
[00:16:21] because my client has a rope burn on his neck
[00:16:24] from where he tried to hang me.
[00:16:26] See but this is what I don't understand about that whole scene.
[00:16:29] Okay, one, first off, Dutton was,
[00:16:35] he was within the rights to do what he did
[00:16:39] because he's on his land.
[00:16:40] And that's the law right now until it's changed.
[00:16:44] And then he's on his land too.
[00:16:46] He just admitted that he tried to attempt to kill him
[00:16:52] and everybody kind of glossed over that.
[00:16:55] And I don't understand why they keep glossing.
[00:16:57] I mean, this isn't the first time
[00:16:59] that Banner has basically said, I've tried to kill you
[00:17:03] and maybe I'm reading into it more or something.
[00:17:08] Did you find that too, Jerry?
[00:17:11] Yeah, because he said, when he's leaving the courthouse
[00:17:16] says I'm looking at a ghost.
[00:17:18] Yeah, it's like, I mean, he just goes on and on and on.
[00:17:23] And we realize Banner is just a pawn in this whole game
[00:17:29] and he can be thrown away as quickly as anything
[00:17:36] and he doesn't get generational wealth.
[00:17:40] He doesn't get what Timothy Dalton is trying to push.
[00:17:43] He doesn't understand it.
[00:17:45] And neither does the Dutton's either.
[00:17:50] I mean, they don't understand the way the world is becoming.
[00:17:58] And then after that whole scene,
[00:18:00] I mean, the judge is like,
[00:18:02] I'll throw you all out and put you in jail
[00:18:03] and let you fight it all out there.
[00:18:06] Something interesting happens when they leave the courthouse.
[00:18:11] Or right before they go, yeah, no, right after they leave.
[00:18:16] Somebody's watching them the whole time
[00:18:18] and it's pissing me off.
[00:18:21] And for lack of a better term,
[00:18:23] Deputy Red is just watching them like a hawk
[00:18:27] and it's, oh God.
[00:18:30] I thought he was a deputy.
[00:18:32] I thought he was gonna be more...
[00:18:36] I thought he didn't have this much free time
[00:18:38] to do what he's doing.
[00:18:40] He's everywhere.
[00:18:41] I mean, he's basically shadowing the Dutton's.
[00:18:45] Chasing a lot, yeah.
[00:18:46] Shadowing the Dutton's.
[00:18:47] And it's just, it's wrong.
[00:18:50] But Zeke goes to his family.
[00:18:56] Zane.
[00:18:56] Zane goes to his family.
[00:18:58] I don't, oh geez.
[00:18:59] Zane goes to his family
[00:19:01] and we find that he does have a family.
[00:19:04] We didn't realize that before.
[00:19:07] Zane's family is multicultural, which we find.
[00:19:13] She's Asian and I guess he doesn't get to see his family
[00:19:19] all that often.
[00:19:20] So they're saving water, so to speak
[00:19:24] in the shower, which was a great scene with the kids.
[00:19:28] Why are you saying, how are you?
[00:19:30] How do you know what that...
[00:19:31] Yeah, and the whole thing.
[00:19:33] And it was a great thing.
[00:19:35] And she is not at all a country bumpkin.
[00:19:41] Again, the women in this show are the heart of the show.
[00:19:46] The men are the ones that are...
[00:19:51] The dummies it seems.
[00:19:55] But that said, the child was right.
[00:20:01] There was somebody watching him.
[00:20:03] Yeah, I see a monster outside my window.
[00:20:05] Yeah, there was a monster, a red-headed monster.
[00:20:07] Yeah, and it's Deputy Red, like you call them.
[00:20:09] Deputy Red.
[00:20:10] And just to follow the whole storyline at the end of it
[00:20:16] the police bust in and...
[00:20:20] Do you remember what the charge was?
[00:20:22] Violating the anti-miscegenation law of Montana,
[00:20:27] which is disgusting.
[00:20:29] So basically he called his kids mongrels.
[00:20:32] And beat the shit out of them.
[00:20:34] Like they beat the crap out of the Indian girls at the camp.
[00:20:41] Yeah, and they beat the hell out of Zayn
[00:20:44] because he tried to stop them.
[00:20:47] Right.
[00:20:48] And the officer said something like,
[00:20:51] I would take you in too,
[00:20:52] but I don't want the mongrel kids in my car.
[00:20:54] And it's like...
[00:20:55] Yeah, it was just so bizarre.
[00:20:58] And again, I know it's a different time and whatever else,
[00:21:01] but it's like, you know,
[00:21:03] it just goes to show you what they're trying to do
[00:21:09] is they're trying to corner the Dutton's.
[00:21:11] They're trying to paint them into a corner
[00:21:12] so they have nowhere else to go.
[00:21:14] And it's just kind of awful.
[00:21:21] You know, do you want to continue with the Dutton story?
[00:21:25] Do you want to go across the pond yet?
[00:21:27] Let's continue on with the Dutton story.
[00:21:28] Okay, so why don't you just...
[00:21:30] What's your next...
[00:21:34] Yeah, okay.
[00:21:34] So we have Jacob going to the bank,
[00:21:37] you know, like we said about getting the loan
[00:21:39] and when he's leaving the bank,
[00:21:41] we see possibly another spy making a telephone call.
[00:21:44] Right.
[00:21:45] Yeah, so we don't know.
[00:21:46] You know, that's why I think he made a call to Whitfield.
[00:21:48] So he said, you know, we're not gonna...
[00:21:51] They said saying no is like one of the quicker things
[00:21:54] you can do in the bank along with robbing it.
[00:21:57] Yeah, robbing it.
[00:21:58] And then he comes out, he's like,
[00:21:59] oh, I guess you said no.
[00:22:00] He's like, well, you know, I really didn't have a choice.
[00:22:03] Yes, exactly.
[00:22:05] So we have the Dutton's suffering another loss
[00:22:10] with Elizabeth suffering a miscarriage and losing a baby.
[00:22:13] And after that scene, after the doctor said,
[00:22:17] she lost the baby, Jack takes some comfort,
[00:22:23] comforts her in saying, you know, with some words
[00:22:24] and just like being with her.
[00:22:26] I want to kind of expand upon that
[00:22:28] because you know, Jack obviously is not exactly
[00:22:31] the most cultured person in the world.
[00:22:33] And we all know this, it's not like it's a big secret
[00:22:36] and he's a hothead and he's all these other things.
[00:22:39] But you know what?
[00:22:40] That's what makes him such a great character.
[00:22:42] You know, he's simple, he knows what he is.
[00:22:44] And you know, that little speech that he had,
[00:22:49] I think was perfect.
[00:22:50] Because it was in terms that he knows.
[00:22:54] And this goes back to the main series, I think,
[00:22:58] in terms of they're not dumb.
[00:23:02] They're just simple.
[00:23:05] And I think there's a big difference
[00:23:07] between dumb and simple.
[00:23:09] You know, hey, it happens.
[00:23:13] Cows do this, horses do this.
[00:23:17] And I love how he spins it around
[00:23:21] when Elizabeth talks about, well, you know,
[00:23:25] I have no purpose now.
[00:23:27] Well, yeah, you do because who raised me?
[00:23:30] It wasn't my mom, it was my aunt.
[00:23:33] She raised everybody.
[00:23:35] She raised this whole ranch.
[00:23:36] And if that's our lot, then that's our lot.
[00:23:39] But you know, at the same time,
[00:23:40] I know it had just happened.
[00:23:42] So the sting is still there.
[00:23:45] But people have to remember.
[00:23:47] I mean, I know with my own grandmother,
[00:23:49] she had three or four miscarriages
[00:23:51] before she had my mother.
[00:23:53] You know what I mean?
[00:23:53] So these things happen and it was on a regular basis.
[00:23:56] Didn't have the prenatal care.
[00:23:57] Didn't have all the different things that I have today.
[00:23:59] So it's not uncommon that you have miscarriages.
[00:24:04] But at the same time, when you do,
[00:24:05] is it like, is it me?
[00:24:07] Am I unlucky?
[00:24:09] Am I this?
[00:24:09] Am I that?
[00:24:10] So I mean, that's a great slice of the West
[00:24:16] or life in the 20s and even today.
[00:24:20] Cause there's people that can, you know,
[00:24:22] have miscarriages with all the science that we have
[00:24:25] that, you know, getting over something like that
[00:24:28] just doesn't always happen.
[00:24:31] Yeah, and it's a lot.
[00:24:32] You know, I would say, you don't,
[00:24:34] I don't know the actual number,
[00:24:35] but it's like, it's probably higher than you think it is.
[00:24:38] And the amount of miscarriages
[00:24:39] that actually happened still today.
[00:24:41] Oh, I mean, I have friends that have multiple.
[00:24:43] I've had multiple.
[00:24:45] So it's one of those things that if it does,
[00:24:49] if it does hit your family, it's awful.
[00:24:54] But you know, there's people that try and try and try.
[00:24:59] I mean, go to fertility clinics, all that kind of stuff.
[00:25:03] And at least we have that today versus back then
[00:25:07] where it was just either it worked or it did it.
[00:25:11] Yeah.
[00:25:12] And of course, you know, Dr. Happy is always there.
[00:25:17] That doctor, man, it's like, dude,
[00:25:19] I mean, he cannot be any less,
[00:25:21] his bedside manner is not exactly the best,
[00:25:24] but you know, what can you do in this situation
[00:25:27] except rest and try to not get over
[00:25:32] but move on as much as you can
[00:25:37] with the situation that it is.
[00:25:40] And it's just sad because we had such a great,
[00:25:42] she had such a great last episode with the baking
[00:25:45] and just being part of the Duttons.
[00:25:49] Yeah.
[00:25:50] You know, it was just so sad, but it is what it is.
[00:25:55] Yeah.
[00:25:56] And then comes the next morning with...
[00:25:59] I'm rolling my eyes folks, because it's, oh God.
[00:26:03] With Whitfield coming by,
[00:26:05] and we see the guys come in from the pasture land
[00:26:13] riding their horses, bunch of guns get drawn
[00:26:17] and Whitfield after they calm the situation down a bit
[00:26:20] and turn the temperature down,
[00:26:23] he tells them that I paid your property taxes.
[00:26:26] Yeah.
[00:26:27] That was kind of a little sneaky thing that he did.
[00:26:31] Yeah.
[00:26:32] And kind of get around it to like encumber the,
[00:26:35] because he said, well, then you need to pay it back.
[00:26:37] And he has no way of paying it back at the moment
[00:26:39] without his loan, because when he went and saw the banker
[00:26:42] when Jacob said, oh, I don't wanna get a mortgage
[00:26:45] because he said you have, banker says,
[00:26:47] you have 30 years to pay this off
[00:26:49] and you have that luxury and it's like,
[00:26:51] and lets his pride get in the way
[00:26:52] and doesn't take the mortgage.
[00:26:53] Like I don't have 30 years.
[00:26:55] He doesn't understand how money works.
[00:26:58] It's not, again, he's not dumb.
[00:27:00] He just doesn't understand the basic finances.
[00:27:04] But I do wanna go back a little bit to that scene
[00:27:06] when it first starts.
[00:27:11] Everybody's pulling guns, right?
[00:27:13] Well, it just goes to show you
[00:27:16] even the difference in the guns.
[00:27:19] Whitfield's boys have a Tommy gun
[00:27:22] that could take it all, this could all be over.
[00:27:24] The show could have been over in like about three seconds.
[00:27:28] Versus the single or double action,
[00:27:32] I mean, rifles that they had, which are great,
[00:27:36] but that's not what you need.
[00:27:38] You don't bring a knife to a gunfight
[00:27:39] and that's what they were bringing to this gunfight.
[00:27:41] And it was pretty amazing that Cara basically stepped in
[00:27:45] because she, I think in the long run,
[00:27:48] she's the savior of Yellowstone.
[00:27:51] I think she's the one that's gonna save this.
[00:27:53] It's certainly not gonna be the guys
[00:27:56] because she's the only one that has the,
[00:27:58] that can put the knife in the heart.
[00:28:01] And as much as,
[00:28:11] they're trying to protect her,
[00:28:12] she's the one that's been doing everything.
[00:28:15] She's the glue.
[00:28:18] And Jacob is like,
[00:28:19] oh, I don't know what I'd do without you.
[00:28:21] You've been there for 50 years, all this kind of stuff.
[00:28:24] And it's just like, dude, you don't get it.
[00:28:26] She's the one that should be up front.
[00:28:28] I mean, she cools the situation,
[00:28:31] but she's also just not smart enough
[00:28:33] to know the way business works either.
[00:28:35] I mean, let's call it what it is.
[00:28:39] He got shafted by the bank
[00:28:41] because we know what Wiffield did.
[00:28:44] He's like, you're not giving them credit
[00:28:46] under no circumstances or I'll pull my money out
[00:28:48] or whatever, he threatened them.
[00:28:50] So all he had, he's pulling strings right now.
[00:28:54] But in that conversation,
[00:28:59] there was a humongous Easter egg.
[00:29:04] Did you pick it up or?
[00:29:06] What's gonna be big around here and tourism?
[00:29:10] And what has been the problem since Yellowstone started?
[00:29:14] It's the East coming West.
[00:29:18] People wanting to see this land.
[00:29:21] One of the first scenes in Yellowstone is what it is.
[00:29:27] The bus driver.
[00:29:29] Shooting at an Asian bus, get off my land.
[00:29:34] It's not your land.
[00:29:35] Oh, that's too much land for one person.
[00:29:37] Well, that's what it is.
[00:29:39] And that's what we're in America for.
[00:29:41] But I think that that's been the silver lining,
[00:29:47] but the lining between all the shows.
[00:29:51] And protecting this land is what it's like.
[00:29:55] I mean, it's almost like the Yellowstone
[00:29:57] is its own character.
[00:29:58] Correct.
[00:29:59] And so anyway, I didn't mean to steal your thunder on that.
[00:30:03] It's just, I just thought that was such a great scene.
[00:30:08] Yeah, and a nice foretelling of the future
[00:30:12] and what's gonna happen.
[00:30:14] I mean...
[00:30:15] And Whitfield's right.
[00:30:16] You know, there's like a lot of tourism around there.
[00:30:19] But you know what the thing is?
[00:30:21] There's always a Whitfield.
[00:30:23] I mean, how many seasons do we have?
[00:30:24] We've had six.
[00:30:25] We've had five or six different bad guys.
[00:30:28] Exactly.
[00:30:29] And it's always a new bad guy trying to do the same thing.
[00:30:31] Take over the Yellowstone, take over the, bring progress.
[00:30:35] And there's a fine line between progress
[00:30:39] and preserving the past.
[00:30:41] And I don't know what that is,
[00:30:42] but I don't know if necessarily the Dutton's are right,
[00:30:46] but they're not wrong.
[00:30:49] You know what I mean?
[00:30:50] It's a hard situation because they're not right.
[00:30:54] You know, you, but they're still, they're not wrong either.
[00:30:58] In my opinion, of course it's my opinion.
[00:31:01] There is a way to do it,
[00:31:03] but it's just finding that all parties can agree to
[00:31:06] is hard because compromise is not easy.
[00:31:10] But you know, the Dutton's compromise is,
[00:31:13] they don't have a compromise.
[00:31:15] This is my land.
[00:31:16] I can do what I want with it.
[00:31:18] You know, I put every post in here, this is my land.
[00:31:21] Well, no, yes it is, it is.
[00:31:23] But at the same time, you know,
[00:31:26] this also goes back to what Beth said.
[00:31:31] It's not about the cattle.
[00:31:34] It's about the other end.
[00:31:36] It's the meat.
[00:31:38] It's not about the cattle.
[00:31:41] The cattle business is dead.
[00:31:42] It's about producing the meat so that people can eat.
[00:31:46] And if they had thought about that,
[00:31:48] then they'd have a totally different outcome
[00:31:53] and they would be bigger than any minor or any tourism
[00:31:58] and they could keep it anyway they want
[00:32:00] because nobody's gonna be around cause they don't care.
[00:32:02] Cause they could put 20 foot walls all the way around
[00:32:05] the whole entire state and nobody cared.
[00:32:07] If they're making that much money,
[00:32:09] which which field has proven that money talks.
[00:32:11] Yeah.
[00:32:12] So yeah, I mean, that was just such a,
[00:32:18] that was heartbreaking because he basically took the air
[00:32:21] right out of the Dutton's.
[00:32:23] And he thinks he has checkmate.
[00:32:27] We know he doesn't because of one reason.
[00:32:29] There's a show that goes ahead of him
[00:32:31] and he's not around but it definitely was,
[00:32:36] it definitely looked like a checkmate.
[00:32:39] And we gotta see what Jacob does.
[00:32:42] Either he gets the mortgage to pay it off
[00:32:45] or something's gonna happen.
[00:32:48] So, what do you wanna go from here?
[00:32:51] Let's go to the Mediterranean Sea aboard the majestic.
[00:32:57] Okay.
[00:32:57] So my favorite part.
[00:33:00] Yes.
[00:33:01] And we still have to talk about another favorite part,
[00:33:03] not favorite but a part nonetheless.
[00:33:07] So we are on the majestic and our favorite couple
[00:33:12] is basically not locked up in the room yet
[00:33:16] but they're just laying low.
[00:33:18] Yeah, well they're boarding the ship
[00:33:20] and they see Arthur there with his family.
[00:33:24] So she's like, and she's like,
[00:33:27] ah shit, what are we gonna do?
[00:33:28] Oh, hang on, sorry.
[00:33:30] You wanna see that?
[00:33:31] That's okay.
[00:33:31] You wanna see it down, okay.
[00:33:33] So yeah, we see Arthur getting on the ship with his family
[00:33:38] and so that happens.
[00:33:41] So they said, well, let's just hold up in the room forever
[00:33:46] and she ends up having some seasickness
[00:33:48] and goes out to deck with find some relief.
[00:33:51] Spencer takes her out there
[00:33:52] so you need to see the horizon.
[00:33:54] Right.
[00:33:56] Get your legs underneath you.
[00:33:58] And a friend of Alex says that
[00:33:59] she left back in Africa, her name's Jennifer,
[00:34:02] catches up with her, kind of what's happening.
[00:34:03] So he's just gonna do this with you and like ditch you
[00:34:08] and then she shows her the ring.
[00:34:09] It's like, nope, he's not.
[00:34:11] We're together and this thing is forever
[00:34:15] and away we go.
[00:34:19] So Alex decides, you know what?
[00:34:23] We're gonna take this out for a spin.
[00:34:25] Yeah, we're gonna go to dinner.
[00:34:26] And we're gonna go to dinner
[00:34:27] and Spencer's gotta clean himself up
[00:34:30] and of course he looks as dashed as he could be
[00:34:33] and she looks as amazing as she could be
[00:34:37] as the flapper would be in.
[00:34:39] I love the flapper dress she was wearing.
[00:34:40] Yeah, I mean sparkling head to toe
[00:34:44] and then they decided to go to dinner
[00:34:46] and all hell breaks loose.
[00:34:48] Yeah, we have Arthur's very jealous,
[00:34:51] you know it's always being the uptight jerk that he is
[00:34:55] and they have a small confrontation on the dance floor
[00:34:57] when we see them like he's,
[00:35:01] does the like bumps into say,
[00:35:04] Oh, he purposely bumped into him looking for a fight.
[00:35:07] Yeah, and I love his Spencer telling
[00:35:11] like coming up to Arthur and whispering in his ear,
[00:35:13] it's like you have about 30 seconds of this bullshitting me
[00:35:16] then I'm gonna mop the fucking floor with you.
[00:35:18] I know, I know, I know.
[00:35:20] I mean, and that's the thing.
[00:35:22] I mean, he really, if there is a guy
[00:35:26] that is not looking for anything and just gets his shit,
[00:35:32] like it's like the whole world decides to dump garbage
[00:35:36] on top of him every single time he walks
[00:35:38] and all he's trying to do is the right thing.
[00:35:40] Yeah, and he wants to,
[00:35:42] he just wants to take his wife and go home.
[00:35:44] Not even that.
[00:35:45] He just, he's not even bothering anybody
[00:35:47] and it's like boom.
[00:35:49] But what I, right before that,
[00:35:51] right before that moment,
[00:35:52] you know, I thought there was a really cool moment
[00:35:55] between Spencer and Alex because he knew how to dance.
[00:35:58] Oh yeah, Kara said my aunt taught me how to dance
[00:36:02] because we thought we should have some culture.
[00:36:04] Exactly, you know, hey, you gotta put some culture in ya.
[00:36:07] But I just think that that's really, it's important.
[00:36:10] You know, I mean, that's a nice little touch.
[00:36:13] Now, the thing about Alex that you have to point at is
[00:36:18] she has not exactly been as truthful.
[00:36:21] Yeah.
[00:36:23] Actually, no, that's not true.
[00:36:27] She has-
[00:36:29] She's holding back information.
[00:36:31] Well, she's just not saying what the whole situation is
[00:36:35] with her and her fiance.
[00:36:37] Now, you know, for her to
[00:36:42] sew her royal oats as they like to say
[00:36:45] in coming to America,
[00:36:48] basically that's what we're doing here
[00:36:50] if from an outsider looking in.
[00:36:53] So you have Spencer who has just fought in the Great War
[00:37:00] with people from England
[00:37:04] who are not exactly the same station
[00:37:08] as the people on that boat.
[00:37:10] He's a hunter, he's a fighter,
[00:37:12] he's a crazy wild American.
[00:37:15] He's not this cultured American either.
[00:37:17] And then we get, oh my gosh.
[00:37:22] I mean, could it be any more of a,
[00:37:27] a Hamilton type moment?
[00:37:29] I was waiting for him to take the glove off
[00:37:31] and slap it in his face.
[00:37:32] And next thing you know, we've got a duel.
[00:37:34] Yes.
[00:37:35] Yeah, he did.
[00:37:36] He did.
[00:37:37] Well, we spent some time watching Arthur
[00:37:39] let the liquid courage kind of talk for him.
[00:37:42] He's getting drunker and drunker
[00:37:46] and his father tells him something like,
[00:37:50] be happy you're gonna marry someone who loves you
[00:37:52] and she didn't really love you.
[00:37:54] So be happy he didn't marry her.
[00:37:56] Right.
[00:37:57] And so he kind of-
[00:37:59] And the father was actually supportive.
[00:38:03] And the father knows what the deal is
[00:38:07] and Spencer's like, listen, I don't wanna do this.
[00:38:12] It's like, you're gonna get hurt
[00:38:14] and it's not gonna be pretty.
[00:38:16] Yeah.
[00:38:16] And then Spencer told me,
[00:38:17] yeah, Spencer told me he's like,
[00:38:18] you do not want me to fight him
[00:38:21] because he's gonna, you know,
[00:38:23] it's gonna end up well
[00:38:24] because when he did the glove slap,
[00:38:26] you know, Arthur slapped Spencer with a glove,
[00:38:28] he did like just a straight out kick and knocked him down.
[00:38:33] Right.
[00:38:34] Yeah.
[00:38:36] No, I just think that that's pretty,
[00:38:39] it was just pretty funny.
[00:38:41] So they have the duel.
[00:38:44] And then we come to find out what
[00:38:48] that Alex has not exactly been so truthful.
[00:38:52] And the reason being is one of the
[00:38:57] ship's mates goes to the captain and says,
[00:39:00] what is this title again?
[00:39:03] He's a count of-
[00:39:07] Oh, Sussex was it or I can't,
[00:39:10] oh, I don't remember the-
[00:39:12] Who's the Duke of Essex, I believe.
[00:39:14] Essex, excuse me, yeah.
[00:39:16] I believe he was the Duke of Essex,
[00:39:18] which is a little high up the food chain.
[00:39:23] Okay?
[00:39:24] And Alex is what?
[00:39:28] Countess, exactly.
[00:39:30] So we're not exactly talking about two little,
[00:39:35] just couple people from England with some money.
[00:39:37] These people have title privilege and everything else.
[00:39:41] So, you know, they have the duel.
[00:39:45] Of course it's on the deck.
[00:39:47] It's a controlled and controlled environment.
[00:39:50] And with swords, which he's never used before.
[00:39:56] And of course, you know, the Duke is an expert swordsman.
[00:40:02] And I love that.
[00:40:04] Have you ever used a sword before?
[00:40:05] No.
[00:40:06] Oh God, he's an expert.
[00:40:07] Yeah, it doesn't matter.
[00:40:09] So they have their fight.
[00:40:10] Yeah, and he's three times disarms him and punches him.
[00:40:15] You know, and the final time he's like,
[00:40:17] he punches him several times
[00:40:18] and drags him over to his father.
[00:40:22] And he's like-
[00:40:23] His father stops it and stops him.
[00:40:25] He's like steps on, put his foot on a sword.
[00:40:29] And Arthur's screaming, I do not yield, do not yield.
[00:40:33] He pulls a pistol, runs towards, you know,
[00:40:35] run towards Spencer and Spencer
[00:40:38] in my favorite part of the episode,
[00:40:40] which kind of like surprised me and made me do a yell
[00:40:42] and like put my hand over my mouth was,
[00:40:46] yeets him over the deck really.
[00:40:48] Oh absolutely, he eats him right over.
[00:40:51] And all of a sudden, now we went from,
[00:40:56] he should have yielded because he was an idiot to-
[00:41:00] And probably still drunk.
[00:41:02] To Spencer's going in the brig
[00:41:06] because he's gonna be charged for murder.
[00:41:10] And Alex is screaming that he pulled a gun.
[00:41:15] And I just think it's really,
[00:41:19] of course it was telling nobody admitted that he pulled a gun
[00:41:22] even though they all saw it.
[00:41:24] Except for one person, her best friend.
[00:41:27] Yeah.
[00:41:28] And you know, because she's a woman at the time,
[00:41:32] it didn't count.
[00:41:34] Yeah, until the next day when-
[00:41:37] They did the investigation and they had to admit
[00:41:42] that her voice was actually legitimate.
[00:41:50] Yeah.
[00:41:50] So,
[00:41:52] Hang on one more time.
[00:41:53] Okay, we got another Chester interlude.
[00:41:57] Okay, sorry about that.
[00:41:58] Which is fine.
[00:41:59] So I love how news,
[00:42:02] good news goes slow but bad news goes even faster
[00:42:06] when it comes to boats.
[00:42:07] So next thing you know, the king is involved.
[00:42:12] The actual king of England is involved.
[00:42:14] Was he?
[00:42:15] I don't know.
[00:42:16] Yes, because that was the-
[00:42:20] The way the king was involved was very simple.
[00:42:23] Because of their station, they went up.
[00:42:25] They wanted to make sure they protect the crown.
[00:42:29] And what was the deal that they made?
[00:42:30] Oh, you can, your life is fine.
[00:42:33] You're gonna, you can leave the ship.
[00:42:35] Oh, by the way, you're leaving the girl.
[00:42:37] Yeah.
[00:42:38] And the problem is, is Alex is not exactly
[00:42:43] the type to take no for an answer as we found out.
[00:42:49] Yeah.
[00:42:50] Did she ever?
[00:42:51] What's that?
[00:42:51] Did she ever take no for an answer?
[00:42:53] I don't think she was arguing when she came out
[00:42:58] of the queen's birth.
[00:43:02] But yeah, but I'm just saying,
[00:43:04] and that whole scene was just absolutely heartbreaking
[00:43:08] because it's a great cliffhanger.
[00:43:09] I love that she kept the letters
[00:43:11] and she was yelling to him about the fact
[00:43:14] that she's going to Montana.
[00:43:17] And, you know, there's still a question
[00:43:21] if they do ever see each other again.
[00:43:26] Because despite his marriage,
[00:43:28] he doesn't have time to mess around with this.
[00:43:30] He's gotta get back to the Yellowstone
[00:43:32] and deal with the problems at hand.
[00:43:34] So, yeah.
[00:43:35] So you may see a parallel track of him going home
[00:43:38] and her and her following.
[00:43:41] So exactly when that's gonna,
[00:43:43] you know, exactly what's gonna happen will see.
[00:43:44] I mean, I hope she makes it to Yellowstone
[00:43:46] because I think she will be such a great addition
[00:43:51] for Elizabeth.
[00:43:53] And she's basically a younger Cara.
[00:43:57] I mean, God, she's even worse.
[00:44:00] As far as like,
[00:44:01] the thing about her is
[00:44:04] she could go head to head with anybody.
[00:44:06] Oh, that minor?
[00:44:07] Yeah, I can take care of him.
[00:44:09] Now she might get written off from the family,
[00:44:12] so to speak, but you know,
[00:44:13] even Harry is written off,
[00:44:15] but he's still a royal, so to speak.
[00:44:19] And, but yeah, but here's the thing
[00:44:22] is that did you catch something that,
[00:44:25] you know, there was two different things
[00:44:27] that I caught that may speak of,
[00:44:31] you know, what's gonna happen in her future?
[00:44:33] Okay.
[00:44:34] Okay, in that, we think,
[00:44:37] we're thinking that, you know,
[00:44:38] it was sea sickness when she's like in bed
[00:44:43] and okay, let's keep that in mind.
[00:44:47] And when she's talking to her friend,
[00:44:49] like when the Spencer first takes her up on the deck
[00:44:52] and says, you know, my concern
[00:44:54] is not the family back in England,
[00:44:55] but the family I'm starting with, you know, here.
[00:44:57] And I'm thinking, did she just signal she's pregnant?
[00:45:00] Maybe?
[00:45:01] Possibly.
[00:45:02] Possibly.
[00:45:04] Possibly.
[00:45:04] I mean, when you first started,
[00:45:06] I didn't know where you were going with that,
[00:45:07] but right when you had said that,
[00:45:08] I'm like, oh, maybe we have a little,
[00:45:10] a little Spencer in the oven.
[00:45:12] So we'll see what that happens
[00:45:13] because they have been together for a while
[00:45:16] and then she's made no-
[00:45:17] Things do happen.
[00:45:18] Yeah, and she's made no secret of, you know,
[00:45:21] they said, you know,
[00:45:22] we spent all this time consummating
[00:45:25] and having no reception really.
[00:45:26] Exactly, so they were gonna have the reception.
[00:45:30] You know, I just wanna kind of put a bow on the last scene
[00:45:34] because I think that it's really important
[00:45:36] while he's rowing or he's getting rowed
[00:45:39] to the mainland, so to speak,
[00:45:42] to the port, she's yelling and screaming
[00:45:45] and then where do they cut to?
[00:45:48] Well, they cut to the captain telling Arthur's father,
[00:45:53] he says, you may question their marriage,
[00:45:55] but it's difficult to question their sincerity.
[00:45:59] Yes.
[00:46:01] And what was the last scene of the-
[00:46:03] Oh, very last, okay.
[00:46:04] And that's why I wanted to hold, oh, geez.
[00:46:07] Okay.
[00:46:07] We have another Chester alert here folks.
[00:46:10] Okay.
[00:46:10] Yet we're, we cut back to Kara with one of her letters.
[00:46:15] You know, she has it in a,
[00:46:18] she has the letter,
[00:46:20] kind of like what she was talking about last time
[00:46:22] is that it's more journaling than anything.
[00:46:24] And he says, a letter to Spencer saying,
[00:46:28] we fear everything that's gonna,
[00:46:30] everything that we've worked for is gonna be lost
[00:46:32] and you must hurry
[00:46:34] or there's gonna be nothing left to fight for.
[00:46:36] Right.
[00:46:37] And she crumples up the letter
[00:46:38] and starts walking back to the house
[00:46:42] and-
[00:46:43] Bro, it's done.
[00:46:44] And it's-
[00:46:45] I do wanna go back to one other thing
[00:46:48] that had happened in the show,
[00:46:50] but the Dutton's have proven
[00:46:54] that they are the embodiment of resiliency.
[00:46:58] And
[00:47:00] they, their show should be sponsored by Kleenex
[00:47:04] because all they do is cry
[00:47:06] and cry either tears of joy or tears of pain.
[00:47:12] And you know, Jacob is getting old.
[00:47:16] I mean, he, you know, Harrison Ford,
[00:47:19] I don't know if he looks like this now
[00:47:20] or they made him look like that.
[00:47:21] He is not looking good.
[00:47:23] He looks like that.
[00:47:24] I'm just saying, I mean, you know,
[00:47:26] I mean, he's getting old.
[00:47:27] I mean, he's not a young guy,
[00:47:29] but I'm just saying it's like,
[00:47:31] you can tell that the days, the months, the years
[00:47:36] have really kind of
[00:47:41] done a number on him.
[00:47:43] Yeah, well, yeah.
[00:47:44] Well, there's no freelance in nature.
[00:47:45] I mean, you do a lot of, you know,
[00:47:48] tough stuff in life.
[00:47:49] Your body is going to respond to it.
[00:47:51] Believe me, I know.
[00:47:52] And yeah, I mean, and that's the thing.
[00:47:54] And the person that really should have
[00:47:57] taken over a Spencer and he's just not there yet.
[00:48:00] And the other one that should have taken over got shot.
[00:48:03] Yeah. So, I mean, all he has is him.
[00:48:07] He has him and his wife
[00:48:09] and they've been married for 50 years.
[00:48:10] He's got nobody else because Jack's just not ready.
[00:48:13] Jack is totally not ready.
[00:48:15] Totally.
[00:48:16] Spencer would be ready.
[00:48:18] Well, I mean, it's just, but
[00:48:21] he's a good lieutenant.
[00:48:22] He's just not, he's not ready to be king, so to speak.
[00:48:25] Yeah.
[00:48:26] I do want to go back to one thing after the after the
[00:48:31] or the talk with
[00:48:34] banner.
[00:48:38] This is has to be the most bizarre scene
[00:48:43] or storyline in the whole.
[00:48:45] I still, I don't get.
[00:48:48] I mean, I get what he's trying, what they're trying to do.
[00:48:52] It's obvious what they're trying to do.
[00:48:54] But at the same time, I don't get why they're doing it this way.
[00:48:59] It just makes no sense.
[00:49:04] So he's talking to banner and
[00:49:08] with fields talking to banner and
[00:49:12] they're at the house, banners house,
[00:49:14] and they're talking about being rich versus being immortal.
[00:49:19] And this whole conversation.
[00:49:22] And then the two, one of the prostitutes comes down and fine.
[00:49:27] Now, these prostitutes have not left since that,
[00:49:30] I'm assuming since the last morning, yeah,
[00:49:34] which who knows how long this has been.
[00:49:36] I think it's been two days, a couple days.
[00:49:38] And and, you know,
[00:49:41] he's he's trying to just, you know,
[00:49:47] if you want to call it teach them power versus
[00:49:50] pain and all this other stuff.
[00:49:52] And these two girls are getting the crappy out of them.
[00:49:55] And, you know, the one girl is kind of liking it.
[00:49:58] And then she has to switch and she wants to understand what what's going on.
[00:50:03] And I just to the life of me, maybe I'm missing something.
[00:50:08] But for this show, that's just not good entertainment.
[00:50:12] No, that's one thing about the show.
[00:50:15] I kind of like, no, just I don't want to.
[00:50:18] That's I mean, even as bad as the the Indian scenes were, and they are bad.
[00:50:26] I mean, like it's like it's I just fast forward to it.
[00:50:29] We get because I was doing like a little rewatch with a couple episodes.
[00:50:32] And I just can't I just can't.
[00:50:34] But this stuff is just like over the top in terms of the whole.
[00:50:42] Larger Yellowstone.
[00:50:45] World, so I mean, we got to talk about it because it's part of the show.
[00:50:50] But at the same time, you know,
[00:50:54] it just it's just a weird storyline that he's putting in here.
[00:50:59] And I just love to know what people think if we're off base or
[00:51:04] or whatever. So that's yeah, well, I think it was more about
[00:51:09] teaching them like a power dynamic and I get it pleasure in the power.
[00:51:14] So I totally understand that.
[00:51:17] But I'm like, all right.
[00:51:20] So do you have any other other notes or other points you want to?
[00:51:26] You know, well, I was saying it taken for, you know,
[00:51:29] just looking over the entire season.
[00:51:31] I've loved the way that they've progressed.
[00:51:35] We've had Spencer's progression from being a solid like a hunter
[00:51:39] doing his own thing in in Africa to being
[00:51:44] a husband, you know, husband to his wife and following, you know,
[00:51:48] following that path home to get home to fight for, you know, fight for his family.
[00:51:54] No, I get it.
[00:51:55] I mean, I think that they have done a great job of moving the story long,
[00:52:03] whether it's whether it's just the characters themselves,
[00:52:08] whether it's the way modernization has come
[00:52:13] from horse and buggies to prohibition to
[00:52:18] telephones and electricity and cars everywhere.
[00:52:23] And washing machines, because that's what they wanted at the Yellowstone.
[00:52:29] That's for sure.
[00:52:30] Yeah. I think that, you know, in terms of the whole season,
[00:52:34] I I'm not going to lie.
[00:52:37] I if I could rank this, I'd rank this third
[00:52:45] of the of the shows.
[00:52:47] I think the journey to the Yellowstone
[00:52:52] 1883 was right.
[00:52:54] Yeah, is amazing.
[00:52:58] Yes, the actors are amazing.
[00:53:00] Everything about it was it was perfect.
[00:53:04] Yellowstone is great.
[00:53:05] It this part.
[00:53:08] I don't know.
[00:53:09] I mean, I like the show.
[00:53:10] I love the show.
[00:53:11] Every every episode is is fun.
[00:53:14] It's interesting in terms of bringing great value.
[00:53:18] But I want to see more.
[00:53:21] I can't wait for a second season, can't wait to cover second season.
[00:53:24] But I just can't, you know, there's just something missing that I don't know
[00:53:28] what it is. I don't know what it is.
[00:53:33] Maybe on India, the Jonesmore, I don't know.
[00:53:34] But no, I mean, I see that kind of jokingly.
[00:53:37] But yeah, but well, for that one, it's like, you know,
[00:53:42] using it like jokingly saying, I think, you know,
[00:53:45] you know, they found some talentless hack like Harrison Ford to do this.
[00:53:48] No. Yeah, they did.
[00:53:50] I mean, he had nothing better to do.
[00:53:52] Yeah. And I don't know if you saw, you know, in the news,
[00:53:56] they asked him like questions about the show.
[00:53:58] He's like, oh, what are the what's going to happen?
[00:54:00] I have no idea. I mean, he's just a great deal, man.
[00:54:03] You know, but yeah.
[00:54:05] But his thing is that I don't remember.
[00:54:08] Is this Harrison Ford's first TV gig?
[00:54:11] No, we I think we talked about this is a second second.
[00:54:14] He's done. He's done some he's done some appearances on TV.
[00:54:18] But it was on a series.
[00:54:20] Yeah, it was on one series, but it didn't last very long.
[00:54:24] I believe we talked about it in the first or second.
[00:54:27] Yeah, episode.
[00:54:28] Well, since we talked about it, but yeah, no, I know.
[00:54:31] And trust me, and it was so long ago, it was like literally last year.
[00:54:36] Yeah.
[00:54:39] I mean, I swear they've taken eight episodes
[00:54:42] and they've I mean, this is like almost as bad as Game of Thrones.
[00:54:44] Yeah.
[00:54:46] But yeah.
[00:54:47] But it's it's like I always like to look at this season as an eight hour movie.
[00:54:51] It's been so damn good.
[00:54:53] Yeah, no, no. I mean, like I said, I know every week you're like,
[00:54:56] I can't wait to talk. I have to talk about this and I have to.
[00:54:59] And and, you know, it's been difficult.
[00:55:02] It's been it's been amazing.
[00:55:06] There's been, you know, when it's good, it's great.
[00:55:09] And when it's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable.
[00:55:13] Oh, hell, yeah.
[00:55:14] They they don't own this.
[00:55:15] Exactly. And that's what this is all about, is making sure that
[00:55:22] the viewer, the viewers are there.
[00:55:24] I mean, the numbers are there.
[00:55:25] People love the show.
[00:55:26] I mean, how could you not?
[00:55:27] I mean, like you said, they got a couple of
[00:55:31] you know, hacks doing all these positions with, you know,
[00:55:35] a former bond, you know, the queen, a former queen and Han Solo.
[00:55:41] I mean, I don't think you can get any better than that.
[00:55:45] Just to you.
[00:55:46] Yeah. And these new, you know, because I've never seen the,
[00:55:49] you know, the what's her name?
[00:55:52] The one that plays Alexandra.
[00:55:53] I've never seen Julia Schlapper, I think.
[00:55:55] Yeah, I mean, they find they find great talent.
[00:55:58] Geez, you know, they're not a cultivate talent.
[00:56:00] I mean, you know, Taylor.
[00:56:02] Yeah. And I looked at it, looked at a few other things she did.
[00:56:05] It's like, well, I'm going to take a look at those two after
[00:56:07] after we're all said and done.
[00:56:08] And then I've never seen Brandon Sklannar in anything.
[00:56:11] Right. And it's like,
[00:56:13] I got to look these people up because I love the way he's played this character.
[00:56:17] Oh, no, I mean, they're they have
[00:56:20] if if people could have half the relationship that they they have,
[00:56:27] they would be in Marital Bliss.
[00:56:30] I mean, you know, they have something that most people
[00:56:35] you see in a movie or on a show.
[00:56:37] I mean, I say that jokingly, but at the same time,
[00:56:41] I mean, he's a man's man.
[00:56:42] She's a woman's woman and they are just, you know,
[00:56:45] in a wonderful time where she is she is her own person
[00:56:49] and she's been taught that way now that we know that she's a royal.
[00:56:54] I mean, you know, when he when he shoots, he really shoots for the moon
[00:56:58] literally and figuratively. Yeah.
[00:57:01] And but but the way, you know, like I've just loved his
[00:57:04] the way he plays this character is like he's been through war.
[00:57:08] Everything he's been through a lot of stuff.
[00:57:11] And he just wants, you know, I'm thinking that he just wants to go,
[00:57:16] you know, go take care of his, you know, of the family's ranch and live in peace.
[00:57:19] But he's not going to get that for a while.
[00:57:22] I don't think he's ever going to get that.
[00:57:24] I mean, even when he gets the Yellowstone, all of a sudden,
[00:57:27] you know, he's got another border at home. Yeah.
[00:57:31] But yeah, no, I mean, I think in general,
[00:57:34] I'm looking forward to next season whenever that is.
[00:57:37] I don't think they actually have a release date yet.
[00:57:40] And yeah, I would think about another year.
[00:57:43] Yeah, I mean, you know, Harrison Ford has to, you know,
[00:57:47] figure out how much money he's going to make and then it'll be cranky about it.
[00:57:50] And and I say that in the loving way.
[00:57:53] But do you have any other notes or or thoughts
[00:57:58] before we get to the good stuff?
[00:58:02] You know, I am just looking forward to next season.
[00:58:04] You know, you know, probably do a rewatch here next in the winter time.
[00:58:08] Right. In in in preparation for this
[00:58:12] because there's plenty of other stuff we got to watch, too.
[00:58:15] Oh, no, no. I mean, you know, Yellowstone, the main show
[00:58:17] is coming back in a couple of weeks or whatever.
[00:58:20] And I think there are other things besides the Yellowstone universe
[00:58:25] and that we are going to start covering them.
[00:58:28] And I can't wait to see all the good stuff.
[00:58:32] But that being said, you know, we also have like the four sixes coming out.
[00:58:36] I know. Oh, yes, I forgot the four sixes.
[00:58:39] Oh, Jesus. Yeah.
[00:58:41] And we'll see if you have time to to to do that.
[00:58:46] Maybe we'll we'll we'll come back and do the four sixes together,
[00:58:50] because I think that would be kind of neat, too.
[00:58:52] You know, you know, we'll give it a whirl.
[00:58:54] Yeah, you know, well, it's just a bunch of cowboys doing cowboy stuff.
[00:58:58] And we are the most rugged type of people to do that type of podcast
[00:59:04] because I'm from New Jersey and no horses around me.
[00:59:08] And you're from California and you've been on a horse lately either.
[00:59:13] Well, I've never been on a horse, but I've been around plenty.
[00:59:15] So there you go.
[00:59:16] And it's like I treat them like motorcycles is like I appreciate the beauty
[00:59:21] by respect to power. Absolutely. Absolutely.
[00:59:24] That's why I don't cry.
[00:59:26] So that being said, I guess that's our show.
[00:59:31] I'm going to take your line for a second.

[01:01:32] or swallow your pride and get a damn mortgage.
[01:01:34] And especially when you're doing a drunk idiot,
[01:01:37] just knock him out and be done with it so you don't have to
[01:01:40] eat him over the rail when he pulls a pistol.
[01:01:42] See you next season.
[01:01:44] See you next. And there you go.
