Hello. I was just playing today. I'm in the Taste of Country studio and I realized there was all these [laughter] cords by my feet. So, I was making sure I wasn't creating a fire hazard over here. Yeah. A little different setup this week because it's CMA Fest in Nashville. So, Addison's running all around to the country music things in addition to her many, many, many, many other responsibilities. Uh, no sleep for Addison. So, let her know you love. If HB wants to send me coffee, I'll tell you where my address is. Heck, at this point, you'd probably take McDonald's coffee. That is true. I'll take actually anything. This is going to be a a long week. But I'm excited to pause on all the other responsibilities and talk about Dutton Ranch episode 4, which finally, y'all, after this episode 4, Billy and I are going to be watching at the same time. I had gotten the screeners for one through four earlier, watched them all, and so I have been itching for Billy to be on my same page. Big shout out to some of our regulars who have already tuned in. Chad, we see you. Vicki, who's made it, she's from our she's from Canada, joined us for the first time last week during the live show. Um, as well as some other names I recognize. Um, Big Joe is in as well, who, um, who sent a message early that he hoped that I had the full trailer this time. And I'm here to tell you, Joe, I have something better than the full trailer for episode five of Gutton Ranch. Interesting. I I'm I I also don't know what this something better is. So, I'm excited to hear what Billy has up his sleeve. Who knows? But first, what poll do you have cooking today on YouTube? This week's poll question, who's to blame for the foot and mouth outbreak on the Dutton Ranch? Is it A, Beth and Rip, B, Jr. Simon the cattle broker, C, it's just bad luck, or D, Bula Jackson did it. You have a vote. Cattle broker. Second place. Uh, overwhelmingly twothirds of people believe Bula Jackson is to blame for the foot and mouth outbreak. How? We'll find out. I think we're going to find out a lot in episode five. and some of these things. In my opinion, episode 4 was a big pivot. Like, it was a little bit of a down episode in my opinion. Um, but I think it's a huge pivot to something kind of catastrophic and new coming our way. I do agree. It was really heavy. Like, let's just cut to the chase. What we're talking about here is the cattle scene. Okay. Can first I want to say something. You led me astray in a couple of different categories here. Um, well, first of all, you did not prepare me for what was coming with the cattle scene, which maybe you didn't need to, but I felt like I I could have been used a little bit of The more important one though is the Carter sequence with um Dwight White, the beer drinker, and the leopard. Um, you indicated to me that that he was there looking for a job at Beth Beth Beth and Rip's request and really he was just kind of out there freelancing. Well, because of what happened because of the cattle situation, he's freelancing. See, I'm not even All right, I want to get into some of the issues with episode four in just a second, but let's let's get to the cattle scene. Would you agree that this is like one of the top five darkest Yellowstone franchise universe scenes of all time? It's the darkest and all I saw was just so many dollar signs going into that hole. So much fun. Watch. Well, it was like 25 minutes of buildup. Very, very ominous. And I found myself thinking, they're not really going to do this, are they? Yeah. And then, and then they absolutely did. and spent like 2 minutes showing Rip firing shot after shot after shot into that ditch. Um, a lot of people cried, a lot of people couldn't make it through the whole thing and and honestly I I'm I was kind of right there with you. I think for me I kind of questioned is that realistic? I I've never been around someone. I have a lot of family who own cattle and own businesses, but I've never I mean, maybe I've never even thought to bring it up with them, but I've it just it just feels really extreme. Like, could they not have given them an antibiotic or something? You know what I mean? Like, is that realistic where they have to kill off all the cattle? I think that's where Yes, I agree with you. It was really hard to watch. And also, I kind of sat there going, is this dramatized or is this realistic? I think the truth is somewhere in between. I I did quite a bit of research on this um after episode 4 and I found that first a couple things with regards to foot and mouth disease. First of all, there hasn't really been an outbreak in the United States in over 100 years. Um Canada and Mexico have been more or less eradicated for the last 60 or 70 years. So, this isn't a real life problem. Um I think it's a real life problem in that people are still very vigilant about making sure it's not a problem. like I think it's still sort of out there, but we haven't really had an outbreak that we got to worry about as as humans. Um, you can actually eat the meat from a cow with foot and mouth and you can drink the milk. The degree to which you're able to sell beef produced by a cow with foot and mouth, I think um is questionable. And is there even going to be a slaughter house that would a lot of people brought this up in the comments because I did the reaction video last Friday. If you missed it on our YouTube channel, I always do sort of an episode reaction video. And this one's was, "Did Rip overreact? Was all of this necessary?" Cows can kind of survive foot and mouth. They're continued to be weak and they won't produce the meat and the beef like they the meat and the milk like they once did. It's also very expensive, I'm learning, to kind of treat cows, incl especially a whole herd that have foot and mouth. So, all things considered, there's probably a pretty good case for euthanizing the herd. Um, do you need to do it like they did it? I I I don't know if that's the most humane way. What would be the other way if you have 200 cattle? Well, a shot like episode one, Doc Ever was ready to give that horse a shot of whatever he had. You know, I feel like maybe there's another way. That's true. Um, but it doesn't seem like just one man with a gun just firing hot lead into a pit. Like that doesn't seem like that's good for anybody. Watch. It was also really interesting what they were pouring onto the soil, I guess, to decompose the bodies. Yeah, that that brought me back to like almost like uh Renaissance Europe when they would have these big mass graves in like the 16th 17th century and they couldn't bury bodies in the winter so they would just throw lime on top of the bodies. Um I I think that is what it was. It was to kind of tamp down the decomp decomposition and the smell and everything. That being a dark scene in the franchise, one of the darkest that we were just saying or that we feel like is one of the darkest, what are some other I think Jaime Dutton being killed is a very very dark scene. Sure. I there's certainly a lot of them. In Yellowstone, I go I think of the scene. Well, let's take them series by series. I think 1883, a ton of darkness, right? Like it seemed like every episode, certainly Elsa Dutton's um final scenes was dark. But even before that, you know, they have the leg amputation of that one immigrant, which was very dark. I think everything about 1923 involving Donald Whitfield and his perversions and those two women living in his house, that's right up there, like dark and unnecessary. Um, and then another one I think of is Yellowstone, the office scene from season two where Beth is attacked and sexually assaulted and then Rip comes in and saves the day. But where I separate things is that scene had a purpose right at the end of that scene. Rip blows in, saves the day, and that's the first time that he says I love you to Beth because earlier she had said, "Don't say I love you to me. Say it when it matters." At that moment, it really mattered and it sort of sealed their their relationship at that point. Is this scene involving ripping all of these cattle? Is this going to matter? Like in five weeks, am I going to think, "Oh, yeah, that had to happen for this to happen." And honestly, a big part of my grade for this season of Dutton Ranch revolves around the answer to that question. And I'm not sure. I don't, you know, they're created. Maybe there is a way, but I I'm I'm struggling to see what that what that purpose is. I think the only not only one of the purposes could be is somehow we're going to find out that Bea Jackson and 10 Petals is darkly I don't know because it it didn't have to be the whole herd. I mean we got rid of the whole herd. Every last one including the calf. Um that made me really sad. Yep. Yeah. It was it was I took a lot of criticism and it was a really interesting conversation I think in the comment section of last Friday's YouTube video because I think people were pretty evenly split on this idea of a did that have to happen b did we have to see the whole thing like that or was there another way and I think there is some truth to a comment I just flashed up on the screen a few minutes ago that people who were uncomfortable with that probably didn't live on a farm um and I think that's probably true I didn't grow up on a farm Um, so count me in that category. But that's a lot of people. You know what I mean? Like yeah, that that's a lot of people. So we can't really judge someone else's moralities or or sort of expectations be in that category. I agree with that. You just grow up with such a different view point because you're in it. Yeah. I mean, it was two. It was a full two minutes. Like they didn't just start shooting and then cut away. They every single one complete with the sound of a thud of a cow hitting the ground at the very end. I mean it was like but you know porn it was it was tough. Oh I hate that statement but it it obviously is there I think cinematically although hard to watch moments like that though in movies TV shows I actually think are really well done because it clearly evokes a deep emotion in us like we're talking about it. So, cinematically, I think it was done well. Cinematically, I'm not talking about ethically. I'm not talking about Sure. Like, did it evoke emotion? Yes. One person even commented like that's Dutton Ranch's Emmy winning episode. I don't know. I agree, but I think that speaks to the point you're making. Yeah. you were pretty passionate about Carter, which is funny because I didn't really have any qualms about the fact that so in episode 4, Carter goes looking essentially for a secondary job, a way to make more money as a foreman, you know, as a just odds and ends helper, whatever he can do is more or less what he's looking to do. He finds this man. What was his name? I just see his face. He's very famous. Dwight White. Dwight White. It's kind of sounds like Dwight Yokum. You know, they were just coming. They lost. They got They couldn't come up with any more names and so they're like Dwight Yokum. No, Dwight White. Mhm. Yep. Let's get [laughter] rid of the G and the last name. Yeah, you're not wrong. Uh Beth told him to go to school though. Beth told B. So, all right. So, back up a little bit because first of all, we had the scene where Beth walks in on Oriana and Carter, which was as awkward and awesome as we wanted it to be. It's awkward, but it's also not because Beth isn't necessarily like, "Get the hell out of my house." She's just kind of like, "Oh, this is awkward that I'm walking in on that, but I feel like she's not like a normal parent who would have reacted in that moment." Yeah. You can see on her face, too, that she thought it was awkward. Like, even Beth was kind of like, "Whoa, I shouldn't look at that." like, you know, like that was I loved it. That was some pretty good acting. I like Carter's told to go to school. Instead, he goes to the feeding seed and gets this job. And I thought maybe he was going to be like a mole trying to figure out who planted the foot and mouth and maybe he was like on some sort of mission. Not the case at all. He was literally just trying to get some money and this old country boy is like, "Nah, stop what you're doing. Let's drink a couple of cold beers." And they end up just getting blistered, you know, for the rest of the night until, you know, they're talking about life. And then finally, Dwight decides to show Carter his secret. I will show you right now. Holy [ __ ] I named her Zena. after the the warrior princess, you know. Sure. I will say that the leopard's so unnecessary. I'm like, it's Tiger King meets I don't know. It's just so unnecessary. And we were wondering in the very beginning preview, our very first episode, we're like, where does this leopard come into play? And that is not where I saw the leopard coming into play. It was as forced into the show as I thought it would be when I saw that leopard in the trailer. And that's another one. What was the point of all of that? And I don't have an answer to that. Do you? No. No. The only thing I can think is like maybe it gets loose at some point and Oh, this is maybe it gets loose at some point. Attacks Carter. Carter's on life support. That's why Oriana freaks out of screaming like, "No, [screaming] maybe that is the that would be the wildest like story plot line." But like maybe we'll circle back. Shout out to uh at Sims who recognized the actor who plays Dwight White from Old Brother where Out Thou. Um, that actor, I believe his name is Ray McKinnon, plays the guy who tries to court George Clooney's character's wife and he's engaged to his wife um, and ends up punching George Clooney's character. It's a It's a good scene. I've never seen it. But your theory means we're getting more Leopard and more Dwight White. You think Do you think he's getting a second episode? I think we're gonna see Dwight again for sure. Why else is he there? He you don't pull an actor to begin with. You don't pull an actor like him in like no offense to Riley Green. You can put Riley Green on Marshalls and he can disappear second episode in like we don't think too much of it. We're bummed. Don't think too much of it. I don't think you bring this actor in and then be like, "Thanks for your time, bro. Like, you're done after one episode." No. Oh, I don't know. They did it to Tom Hanks in 1923. And if you remember, Bella Hadid, the model, was in one episode of Yellowstone where she played Taylor Sheridan's girlfriend. That's a cameo. That doesn't count. That's a Coleman. Dabby Coleman. One episode of John Dutton Senior in Yellowstone. Uh, you know, I I don't think we're going to see more of um Dale Dicki, who played Avery, um the the woman who tries to shoot Zachariah. So, I'm not They lost me a little bit of this episode. This is the first episode where I felt I had more to criticize than I did to celebrate. Um, a lot of it is because of that sequence involving Carter the Leopard and Dwight White. Okay. Teach their own on that one. I think I might feel differently. Okay. All right. Fair enough. Comment. Drop a comment here, people. Who you team Addison or team Billy on this one? Like which way you go? Probably team Addison. They know what's right. Um, okay. Let's [laughter] I'll say one thing here in the comments section. People are loving Addison Hager. Like in there [laughter] has been a lot of Addison love. Addison, ever since you started calling Texas, [ __ ] Texas, [laughter] HV, people like Addison, your hair looks good today, girl. What's up, Addison? So beautiful. [laughter] Addison, call me. Addison, send me your shoes. You know, there has just been a lot of love your shoes, Billy. You're not supposed to know the secrets. [laughter] There's just been a lot of love. So, get some love, Billy. Do you need some love? That feels We can do that. Good. Okay. Well, let's move on and talk about Everett. Your boy Everett or my boy Everett. I guess I guess it's both of our boys. We just can't decide where he fits in the good versus bad. Um, one comment, maybe the leopard will get out and try to attack someone like happened in 1923. But that wasn't a good part of 1923. That was ridiculous, Billy. But I'm just saying it could happen. I digress. It is on the record. We'll circle back when when it happens. With regards to Everett, uh, a good scene between Ed Harris and Annette Benning, who play Everett and Bula Jackson, slowly getting a sense that maybe they were a long-term love interest at some point. I don't know necessarily that they were married. Um, even really still have feelings for each other, but it feels like Everett was too hurt too bad to be with Everett. And I'm kind of wondering if it had to do with this scene. More than anything, I just want the ropes to rot so I don't have to hear it creek every time the breeze blows by. I mean, part of me still thinks it's Levi out there. Then, you know, reality kicks in and [sighs and gasps] that wound rips open again. Levi son Levi, it's God. We got to assume son, grandson. No. When I I mean maybe, but when I first heard that, I thought son. I did too. Um and then at the end you see the tire swing. Um that was sentimental. It's a good complicated relationship, isn't it? Mhm. And it makes it pretty relatable. Yeah. And and then later, I don't have a clip of it, but Bula talking to Waqen, you get a sense that her story is much more complicated than we see, too. And then in some ways, she's trapped. When Waqen wants to take over the ranch, she's like, "I wish I could. I wish I could, buddy." Yeah. Um, and her hair's, you know, she's drunk. Her hair's all over the place. Like, she's starting to come unraveled uh a little bit. Or probably already was, but we're starting to see her come unraveled, I feel like. I'm really excited for episode five. I may as well. I may as well. I got a lot of good stuff for episode 5. Um Oh, our preview. Yeah, we can get into the preview if you're ready. Are can we tie a bow on episode four or do you have more to say with regards to that? No, that was really it. I mean, let's be real. The the cattle scene was really the foot and mouth. We spent almost a whole episode on that. You know what I did wonder is how they made all those cows foot and mouthy like how do you put makeup on a cow? Could you do CGI? I think probably I think they probably did CGI but I mean that was something I thought about is like how do you gosh make the more I get to know you Billy over all these years I love how your brain thinks. I that didn't even cross my mind once but it's important. It should have crossed my mind. Um, shout out to the couple people in the comments section who recognized sort of that series of events involving the cattle. Um, there's a 1963 Paul Newman movie called Hud, which had something very very similar happened. I'm not sure how much of the plot sort of also parallels that movie, but it was kind of a good reference there for some of our um either our older listeners or people who enjoy some of those older classic films. Oh, here's a comment. Hydrogen peroxide if not CGI. Whipped cream, says Vicki. I don't think it's whipped cream on the cows. Those cows would be having a heyday. Give me that cream. Okay, let's move on. [laughter] Before we get to episode five, we did get a little podcast criticism. Oh, yeah. Now, this is this touches on something you mentioned earlier. A couple of people thought us being on different episodes made the conversation a little bit awkward. Um, and I'm going to agree with them to a certain extent, right? Like you weren't able to speak your full mind and I was, you know, so, uh, so we're on the same plane now. Addison and I are on the same episode. Neither of us have watched episode five yet. Uh, so we can speak freely. Go ahead. Yes, you in the back. Yeah, me. Y'all, I'm raising my hand. And I do want to preface why that was the way it was is because prior to the ep uh sorry, prior to the season starting, I was interviewing cast members. So, just to do due diligence, I had to watch all four before we even started our podcast. So, when I went to go interview the cast members, I knew what I was talking about. So, that wouldn't that wouldn't be a normal situation. It's just because I needed to for prep. I thought it was a little odd that they gave you a full four, to be honest. Uh, two usually is the standard. Four seemed pretty generous. Um, maybe even unnecessary for the interviews. You know, I felt you could have got a good sense of him in two because Oriana is not really in four that much. A little bit. No, I will say uh Mark, not Mark, what is Mark? Zachariah, he doesn't really come around until the end of two. I will say we and Zachariah, it was helpful to get I didn't need four, but the third episode kind of helped. I asked some questions just knowing like the dynamics. It's a good point. Okay. Well, we're back on the same plane now. So, those people who kind of, you know, I tried to respond. I think things should be pretty good from here. And um you know, I think we'll be able to keep to this Tuesday schedule um unless one of us has a day off or something coming up. Uh, the finale is set to take place on July 3rd, which would put us on like, I don't know, sixth or seventh or so for our final podcast for this season. I think we'll see. You know, it's ever changing, right? I love this. So, the last comment that we got is from Fletcher V1, who says, "Ever is clearly not being truthful, and I think Beth is going to find out everything." And then it says, "Who is Levi?" But I do think episode 5, I know we're about to dive into it, but I do kind of think we might that might end up being true. So episode 5, we got the 30 secondond trailer and I watched that and it was interesting. But then yesterday, Dutton Ranch Instagram dropped a 90 second long rest of season 1 trailer and it is just overflowing with clues and intrigue here. So, I have four clips from it and we'll watch them kind of one at a time and break them down um chronologically as you see them in the trailer. And here's the first one. This is a scene. Rip has just walked into the Jackson's bunk house. Who is [music] it? Get your gear together. You all got 10 minutes. What has happened? [laughter] This This has got to be coming because this is this was in the 30 secondond trailer as well. I think this has to do with something because you know Rip is now pissed about all the cattle and the bull and yada yada yada. So this has to do with that and he probably thinks that they are responsible. They meaning 10 pedals and so he's going to put them to work. I don't know. I didn't get a sense that he just went in there and started making barking orders, though. I got a sense that he had permission to do so. And that comes in part from this second part of the trailer. Give me a week. [music] I'll know everything there is to know about Po Jackson. Jackson family's [music] crooked top to bottom. They ain't ranchers, they thieves. [music] I want to know who put the body on my property. He's never coming back. Rip. Have a seat. It's so good. There's so much to talk about there. But let's go to right to what we were just talking about. Beth and Bula on a plane together. this episode, the the description of it is that Beth makes her an offer. I think that she accepts that offer and there's a collaboration here between the Jacksons and the Dutton Ranch. As uneasy as it may be, and they're both probably trying to kill one another, but for now, at least for a week, there's some sort of cooperation here. That's why Rip had access to the Jackson's ranch. Chad Rob says here in in the comments, which I'm like, actually, that might be correct. Rip needed, where'd it go? Um, sorry. Rip needed a job. So, he's the new foreman at the 10 Pedal Ranch. Could be true because right now we have no cattle on the Dutton Ranch. Okay, fair. Um, he's certainly a good foreman. I don't know what they don't trust. Chat, old Chad got fired just a couple days into the job. Maybe. Yeah, I think I would take a rip over Chad. And it now looks like though Austin, who is the farmer hand who was put in the hospital, is sharing all the secrets about the Jacksons. And was that drugs on the scale? I couldn't tell cuz it kind of had like a reddish hue. It looks like bags of drugs. Oh, I thought I thought it was like there was a lot of fat on it. I thought it I thought it was He's never coming back. Let me see if I can get to that scene. He's He's um fast forwarding. Oh, that looks like meat and saran wrap. What? Yeah, those are like a little No, I don't know. It's white, but it's also pink. I wonder if they're smuggling drugs in the hides of cattle. That I believe. Could believe. That's what I'm seeing there. Okay. uh all all things considered and they are weighing and plus and later on in the trailer and I don't have this clip, Rip does ask Rob Will if he's selling drugs. We don't get an answer, but that could very well be what we have there. Um, okay. Well, there's something else. Oh, we didn't even get to the thing at the end there. Rob Will's back. Oh, yeah. Rob Will's back. He didn't last long in in the uh not therapy. Oh my gosh. He didn't last long in rehab and he looks in my mind he looks good, sober, clearheaded, does he not? I mean, maybe he still looks shady as heck, but hold that thought cuz there's a scene later on in this trailer that I think shows something else. Maybe another side of Rob. I'm wondering if Rob is not a good guy. I know. Hang tight. Ready? Here's number three. We've hired wolves below. Wolves don't care whose hand feeds them. What have you gotten us into? You were in a hole and so was I. Also, I will take a moment real quick because people in the comments are wondering where the full trailer is. We are breaking down. This is the trailer. We're breaking it down piece by piece. Yeah, I'm not going to play the full 90 seconds. Um, for a couple reasons. One, that's how you get a video copyright claimed. Um, two, people, a lot of people just watch uh or or just listen to this podcast on Spotify, Apple, um, various things. Uh, so that'd be unfair to them. Um, and plus there's so much there. I think we can kind of break down segment by segment. And in that segment, we see Bula's partner, presumably Mariano from episode 3, and Beth's realization that she's doing business with someone who's very crooked. [singing] All right, you ready for the fourth one? The fourth one's my favorite. Watch closely here for Rob Will in this one and tell me what you see. Guess I was wrong. I love you. Did you see him? Carter. Rob Will? No, I didn't see Rob Will. All right, I'll pause. I'll pause. I was wrong. That's good. right there. Who's he hugging? A tender fatherdaughter moment teaming up potentially going up against Bula with Rip and Beth at their side. Maybe Rob Will has seen the light because remember episode three, Everett's like he was a good kid. Good people don't just lose all their good and Baha was like sometimes they do. Maybe there's still good in him and he's turning on his mother and that sort of brings down the family from within because he looks good. He looks sober. He looks like he's kind of does look sober. A new person. Wow, that would be pretty epic. And a man that I started out hating in this season, I would actually uh no longer hate. I'm I am so here for this. Um so that's the trailer. Do you have any theories on what happens here with episode 5? Well, we have a lot of things happening in our in our um chat right now. Um so I don't even know where do do we touch on that or do do you ask me what happens in episode five? I think episode five we're going to learn I think the next right thing is we're going to uncover big things about 10 pedals and Beth is going to use that against Bula and the airplane that I would never want to be a third party of and they're going to form either an alliance or something and I think we're going to get the bunk house scene and I think that's it. Uh I think we'll definitely get the bunk house scene this episode. I don't know if Rob will will return this episode. That might be a couple episodes away. He's not. He's not. That's too soon. You don't think? Okay. All right. You could be right. Um, and I'm not even sure if we'll see Mariano, but I think at the end of this episode, there's going to be a a partnership forged that's tenuous and we're kind of moving forward with that. Um, real quick, how about this point? Uh, Fletcher says, "What if Rob, Will, and Levi are twins?" Maybe not twins, but maybe friends, cousins. Um, maybe this is a familiar relationship, you know. Is it possible Everett and Bula weren't lovers, but friend, but siblings? Oh, is there anything that indicated that they were lovers? Well, what about that scene on the porch? Well, maybe not. [sighs] It could be a sibling relationship, right? Like if a, you know, she touches him on the leg, but that's not so strange. It's not high up on the thigh. It's a knee. Billy, I don't touch my brother's knees. Do I? No, no, no, no. But I'm just saying some people do, right? There's touchers out there. People who kiss Hello. It's an older generation. Okay. What if that's what this really is? Like, and what if there is? I do think le this Levi character, his death plays into the split between Everett and Bula and maybe even Rob Will is involved in that uh to a certain degree. I don't know. Let's just rip for possibility. Yeah, let's just spiral on that a little bit. All right, here's a couple people are are weighing in on these things. Boise Blue says siblings not possible. Um, Rosebuds 7943 says, "I think she had a child with them and the child died." And what actor on Dutton Ranch was Rob Will Ji Courtourtney? Um, a father to in the movie. Uh, I don't know what movie you're referring to. Um, but okay. So, yeah, some some great comments there and some theories. By the way, our audience right now, um, thank you very much for for watching. This is like the most we've ever had on a live stream and we certainly appreciate that. We're here every Tuesday. Uh Tuesday 2 o'clock central. Come find us, be part of the conversation or uh join the replay if you happen to miss us on Tuesdays. And staff at tasteofcountry.com is where you can leave all your thoughts. I know we were moving fast on episode five, but I know a lot of y'all were commenting what you thought maybe the potential packaged meat, potential packaged drugs that was being weighed were. Um, and I will say someone did note that when meat is being cleaned and processed, it is weighed. So, because I think I said, Yeah. Yeah. I think I said, "Oh, they're weighing it. It could be drugs." So, uh, Mike Enders hates the Everett and Bula siblings theory. Not a fan of that. It's Texas, not Alabama again. [laughter] That's a That's a low. That was out of Alabama. Listen, listen. If you're from Alabama and you're watching, Addison and I didn't say it. It was Mike. Yeah, we didn't say that. [laughter] We're laughing at something different. Oh, man. Alrighty, let's get into what was the trivia last week and who won. And then we got to get into this week's trivia. Trivia. We do it every week. We do a trivia question. This is for one of the great Dutton Ranch or Dutton Rules t-shirts. at uh tasteofcountstore.com. Um if you're the one of the pe if you're one correct answer pulled from all correct answers either in the comment section of a video or emailed to us last week's trivia question though. Anna Dri threatens to kill Dutton Ranch Farmhand Zachariah because he killed her daughter Teresa. That actress Dale Dicki and she's been in dozens of films etc etc including a popular NBC comedy from the early 2000s. Which show? And what was her character's name? Did you ever watch My Name is Earl? No. I'm going to Google that. Please old on every My name is Earl. Dale Dicki played Patty the daytime hooker. It was a comedy, trust me. A very funny, very funny character. Um, I recognize Jason Lee who played Earl Hickey. I've literally never seen this before. It was mid 2000s, 2007, 2008, somewhere in there, I think. I didn't watch it a ton. I watched it a few times. It was funny. It was a good show. It was And that was a good character. She's just one of those sort of character actresses that you see in a lot of types of different things. Wait, who did she play? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just found her. Dale Dicki. Big congratulations to our winner who commented on YouTube, Ra Beth Huff. Uh you were the one we chose and I've already been in touch with you in the comment section. You have to email me and we'll get in touch and we'll get you that uh Dutton rules t-shirt. What is this week? This is a interactive trivia this week um or or a media trivia and the question is simple. What is wrong with this picture? And for those listening, it's a picture of the field after all the dirt has been put back over the grave, the mass grave with the cattle. It's at night. We see the machine, the dirt mover there. What is wrong with that photo? What is out of place with that photo? There's a few things to be honest. It looks there's one that's really Yeah, there's one that's really kind of a bit of a um a gaff, I think, on the plot of producers of this show. Um that some people have picked up on. Um but I decided it'd be fun to use it as a different type of trivia question. Staff at tasteofcountry.com or drop it in the comment section, not the chat. Drop it in the comment section when this video posts for live for real and we'll give away another great Dutton Rules t-shirt. Okay. Interesting. [laughter] Let's get I'm just pondering over here. I'm like, dang, I didn't originally see anything wrong. That's I don't know if that's good or bad. But we're gonna go into Q&A and I'm going to stew on it later. The first one we have is from Global Politics Man 9523 who says, "Anybody that has a problem with what they did to the cows is either too soft for a show like this or has never lived on a farm with any animals." We did talk about this earlier. I might be both. I might be both. [laughter] I I also I also think I'm both. I did grow up not on a farm, but I've been I mean, I grew up in Texas, so I'm used to having to kill animals, a lot of different things, but nothing that Yeah. Time out. What you grew up in Austin? Let's not pretend that you grew up out there on the on the range. That's fair. Let me like you grew up in Yepy Dump. Hey. Yeah. Yeah. I heard Did I I've told you that my family has farmland in Lockheart, Texas. Lockheart, Texas. If anyone knows where that is, chime in. Cousin owns a house. [laughter] No, my papa. And my papa and like Papa J. Um, I'm I'm just saying like there's a part of me that like understands, but I Yeah, I think I'm also maybe a little too soft. The city girl in me is too soft. [laughter] Billy Billy keeping me uh honest. Okay. Champ stands a chance says, "Grew up on a cattle farm. It's extremely expensive to manage cattle and infected with foot and mouth disease. There is no cure for the disease. The animal either recovers naturally with proper treatment which is a big herd which with a big herd is also a lot of money or they die from complications. The risk of infected cattle spreading the disease to neighboring farms is extremely high which can be devastating consequences or can have devastating consequences for the wider farming community. This was the feedback I think we needed because I even admitted in the video I I created on Friday. Like I only had a few hours between when I watched the episode and recorded that video like I didn't have time to talk to experts on the situation. I did source the USDA and a couple of others just to kind of get a feel for the health risk. But uh I appreciate that. I think there's a lot of validity to that and that probably explains why he did have to euthanize him. Um so maybe it's just a matter of did he have to euthanize him with a rifle or could And do we have to see all hundred head of cattle get killed like that? Uh that I'm not so sure on. But that's a great comment. And you know, we really welcome sort of that professional expert opinion on some of these niche topics because Lord knows the Taylor Sheridan Yellowstone universe brings a lot of niche. We had a lot of people get us through, remember in Land Man, we had some people get us through some of those geological concerns about drilling for oil out in the Gulf. like we had like some professional or maybe just amateur, I'm not sure, like people able to speak truth to it in a way that was clear for everyone, which is one of the benefits of doing this live, I feel like. I agree totally. The last one I have for us is from Larry Bailey 426, who says, "Marshall's cliffhanger. Tate is in Texas. Think about that." What am I thinking [laughter] about? This is interesting. So, we referred to the end of the Marshalls season last year, and I was wrong in saying that Casey sold East Camp. He didn't. He decided not to sell it. He was going to sell it to this guy named Tom. Tom um and this is spoiling the how Marshalls ended, which it's been a few weeks, so if you haven't watched, I apologize. Tom takes um Tate to Texas. I think they think Tom is friend, but then they realize that Tom was responsible for some of the attacks on Cal and some of the other Marshall's team members, but now he's got Tate and he's taking him down to Texas. So, the theory is Tate's going to Texas. Beth and Rip are already in Texas. Maybe that's why these shows are going to cross over. That's where all the crossover conspiracy theories come from with these shows. Interesting. Also, I want to clarify. Someone in the comments said by someone I mean uh Chad Rob says, "Isn't Lockhart, Texas a suburb of Dallas?" Chad, it is not. No, it's not. That too. Yeah. Oh, I said it is. Sorry. It's south of Austin. It's right out. It's by Post Texas, which is about 45 to 50 minutes from New Bron Falls. I mean, sorry, uh, San Antonio. So, we're going south. I just get defensive. It's right by the San Marcus River. Okay, I'm done. or it's close to [laughter] don't out Texas me. I'm done. All with love. Thank you, Chad. Can we get a don't out Texas Me t-shirt made and sent to Addison? If the good folks at the HB could send that to Addison, that would be um really appreciated. That would make that or Bies. I have Bies playing cards and it's just like my most favorite thing ever. Okay, enough about me. Oh boy. One sec here. Um, all right. I I Are we good? If you didn't think we were alive, I was literally just interrupted by an Amber Alert. Well, I I heard that. And let's be real, I didn't experience tornadoes in in Austin. And ever since moving here, that noise to me says tornadoes. Which granted, it's a beautiful day, so maybe I don't know it wouldn't have been a tornado, but I literally my heart sunk for a And I was like, am I supposed to be getting that text? All right, y'all. Stafftasteofcountry.com is where you can leave your trivia answer or you can do it on the YouTube live that will live on YouTube after this. It will. It will. Um, that's where and all right. So, now before I get to the the music at we're on a good streak here, this is where you get a chance to collect yourself and just discuss and think about your outro for the show and really nail it. Get the right adjective in there. You don't have to waste time talking about that anymore because I've already got it ready for you. Boom. Okay. All right. Well, I'm still going to get to the music. There's only two songs of consequence played during Dutton Ranch episode 4. When Zachariah was busy covering up the grave with the dirt, he was singing a traditional song called The Dying Cowboy. And as Oriana is deciding not to run off to see Carter, kind of stood him up for a date there. We didn't mention that. We hear Jake Worthington's Nighttime is my time. Is it my turn now? It's your turn now, Addison. All right, y'all. Truly, thank you so much for listening. Don't forget to rate, review. If you are listening to the audio version, we always greatly appreciate that. Send this to your friend. Send this to all your Texas friends specifically. I promise the whole episode recaps from here on out will not me just be geeking out about Texas. Alrighty. The Denton Rules Yellowstone franchise podcast is another ready for this Billy theory inspiring Towns Square Media podcast. Quick list of other theory inspiring podcasts on the Towns Square media. I'm not sure how many others there are, but there is another one. If you're gonna criticize the way I outro these, I can definitely give you the baton. [laughter] I need more words to fill the music gap is what I'm trying to do here. If you listen on the audio, you know. All right. Great job, Addison. We got three in a row now. Thank you. I'm doing what I can. Thank you, everybody.
