Oh, Addison. Billy, I'm glad we're here, everyone. He He is Mr. Techman. We almost didn't get the full trailer. Sorry I'm showing all your cards right now, Billy. But don't you worry because you're in for a treat. He sure did. I'm very excited about episode 7. Episode 6 I thought was really good. Uh I I thought episode seven is is shaping up to be fantastic. Really a pivotable episode. But we'll get there. We got to talk about some things first, I think. Do you want to talk about the surprise death? Yeah. Were you some Let's start right there. So, uh, this is a recap of episode 6. If you're new to the podcast and you haven't watched episode 6 yet, I mean, this is going to be a little awkward, but there was a big surprise death. Were you more surprised by who was killed or who the shooter was? I kind of wasn't surprised by either. No. Okay. Like the one who died was annoying. You knew that he was on shaky ground. And then the other guy, his whole purpose is to protect. Yeah. But he had been such a shaky character so far or we just hadn't really seen too much of him. He's been sort of a babysitter. And I think we've allowed enough time now to let people who haven't watched scadaddle. So, um, we can talk with full cander. Chat, I think we all thought Cadet was going to get killed and this was his episode. Uh, Chad gets kind of gassed up by Rob Will, who really calls him his brother and beefs him all up and he goes charging. He's going to take care of Waqeen for stabbing him in the back and he shoots him in the hand. And then, well, things didn't turn out great. Oh, me. You son. You son of a [ __ ] piece of [ __ ] Okay, now I cut it off before the bullet hits the head because that was pretty graphic. But um RIP chat, I think this is the third major character to die in Dutton Ranch. Am I counting correctly? Who is the who is the second? Dwight. Well, Dwight and then Wes, the uh ranch hand at the beginning of the series. Those are our three deaths. I believe I could do without Chad like we needed. No offense, Chad. I was just a little surprised that Cet died so soon. Um I thought he'd be a pivot pretty uh pivotal part of Rob Will's sort of quest to gain control of the ranch again. Um I had a chance last week to talk to Berto Cologne, who plays Miguel, and that's Oriana's babysitter's name. People keep calling him Orianna's babysitter. It's calling in the babysitter. It gets me every single time. I feel like that's a little demeaning. It is. That's a little very He was Bula's security detail and uh he talked a little bit about filming that scene. There's always so much mutual respect. I love Hart, but I just like I he got out of a cab. I was going in the hotel or coming out and I just like dropped what I was doing. I just went up to him and I just gave him a big hug and it was like such a bummer, right? Like it's not like Chad didn't deserve it. Oh no. I I I had him as like my most likely to go next. Most likely. And so, you know, in the story, you know, that that's what made it that's what made it not, you know, I guess that's what made it a little bit easier for me to to swallow was because, you know, we have we have a job to do. I like him. I hadn't seen that clip yet. He's cool. He was a lot of fun. He talked a little bit about his scenes with Oriana as well because he's the father to teenage daughters and he said that was kind of his cheat code when being doing those scenes with Oriana who Natalie Lin Lynn sounds like just like a wonderful person like super fun offscreen. But on screen, especially with Miguel, she's forced to kind of play this. I mean, she's not nice to him, right? She's pretty nasty. So they kind of have to turn it on and off like that. And he said that was a lot of fun to do um week to week. So I mean that's pretty much on that. I don't there was a part of me that thought maybe Rip was going to be the one to shoot him. So I was maybe a little bit surprised when it was um Berto Cologne's character. Miguel. Miguel. Thank you. Thank you. I literally went blank and I was like, "Help, help, help." Um, but I think that's a way I think by Rip not being the one to shoot him, I think it that's it's because it's keeping his his slate blank. Yeah. Rip hasn't killed anybody yet this series, has he? No. And I think like we often compare this show to Yellowstone. Like in terms of number of deaths, far fewer deaths on Dutton Ranch than we saw in season one of Yellowstone. I once upon a time kept a running tab of all the deaths of season one of Yellowstone. There was far more. There was probably more in the first episode of Yellowstone than there has been in Dutton Ranch season one so far. I think that's going to change, but um so far it's not quite as deadly of a show as we've had in the past. Some people are asking, "What about Everett and Bula's scene?" Well, we have a lot coming up this episode. I mean, we're we should talk about Carter and Oriana's scene. Also, Bula dropping some Jamie Dutton information that I'm like, "Girl, wait a minute. How do you know that?" And also we Rip that moment in the truck potential line there. Also, Oriana, I left this episode thinking, uh, do I trust you? Oh, no. I think that's a great segue to the poll question this week, which is focused on Oriana, and it's a question of, do you trust Oriana? The exact question is at the end of season 1, Oriana will Oriana will A end up dead, b end up in jail, c end up with Carter, or D end up running the Ted Pedal Ranch. Addison, how do you feel about that? Running the Ten Pedal Ranch. Okay, I think she's going to jail or she's going to end up dead. Gosh, that feels I mean, maybe jail. She's not dying. She's not dying. I'll I'll die on that hill. That she's not dying. This is a little bit of my episode 7 um preview that's coming up here, but I saw some things that make me think Oriana may not make it to season two. Um I mean, we've seen it before with these shows, right? I mean, Elsa Dutton, true. But what if what if she ends up pregnant? Uh uh Ratch Beth Huff 4943 says in the comments, "Sorry if I I messed Oh my gosh, y'all. I cannot talk. Sorry if I messed that username up." But that would be kind of epic. Becomes pregnant, goes to jail. Pregnant in jail. That leads a whole I hope not. A pregnancy would really Yeah, I've seen that before. Um, I suppose it's possible, but I'm hoping for a little bit better there. Uh, the poll results, by the way, 43% of people believe that Oriana is going to end up with Carter, followed by 27% who think she'll end up in jail, and then 21% think she'll wind up running the 10 pedal, and just 9% of people think that she'll uh end up dead. Let's break down. I mean, we're going to talk about Oriana and Carter. Let's break down kind of the the coupling and situations that we saw in episode 6. Starting with Bula and Everett. Bouncy, you some boy. That's how I best describe what happened in uh this episode. They are at least hookup buddies. Yeah, I think they're kind of an item, right? Like at the beginning he comes down, his hair is all tossled, but then she invites him to this big party that she's throwing and he says he'll gladly be her date. So it sounds like they're a little bit more than just friends with benefits. I feel like maybe the relationship is rekindling between them for better or worse. And you know what? I don't hate it. I thought I would and I don't hate it. It's really difficult to get a grasp on who Bula is right now, isn't it? Like I thought going into this series she was the villain. Uhhuh. Now kind of six episodes in, I'm thinking to myself, well gosh, she could become an ally of Beth's and a friend/lover of Everett's, two characters that we're rooting for. Maybe she's not a villain. Maybe she's a victim. We still have three episodes left, though. So, my my heart's guarded. I guess I agree with you, but my heart is guarded. My heart's guarded, but I I don't feel as strongly as I have in the past of other, let's say, darker or less trusting figures in the Yellowstone franchise. Like, I'm she's I'm giving her space to warm up for me. I feel towards her kind of how I felt um towards Sheriff Donnie Haskell in Yellowstone. Like suspicious of him. He can really mess some things up. Kind of liked him because he's kind of friends with the Dutton, but keep him at a little bit of an arms length. Yeah, we'll see with her. I definitely liked um her when when Beth and Bula are on the private jet to go do some business together. I also really I really like those two characters, at least so far on screen together. And this is something so random. It has nothing to do with the characters, but you know what I appreciated? You know, sometimes when in movies or television and they're driving the car and the person's doing this with the steering wheel and I'm like, that's not how you actually drive a car. I appreciated. Did you notice on the private jet there was slight turbulence, which if you've ever been on a private jet, um, as soon as I just said that, I was like, this is so dumb. There's more turbulence or even do American Eagle, a smaller airplane than a big commercial airplane. you experience more turbulence and Billy. Okay, the reason why I'm saying this is yes, I have flown on a private jet before, but it's because I used to work for the SEC network and in college when I was at&m, I traveled with the volleyball team. Volleyball flew private. That's the only reason why I was on those airplanes. Okay, quick informal uh watcher poll. If you have flown a a PJ, uh, drop a comment. And if you have not flown private, uh, let us know. I'm in the not category. And I just want on the record that I said nothing and you got all defensive there. It was in the eyes. You were you were going, "Oh, here she goes again." And I had to clarify why I had been on one of those. It's because Addison, you are who you are. You just got to own it. Okay. Point made with regards to the private jet. I think that was I just appreciate the attention to detail. They were Beth was kind of, you know, quaking around and it's just little things like that like the HB crackers that it's subtle and I appreciate it. That's what I meant by this. Well, I also geek out on some of the finer details. They go to visit with Frontier Hospitality, which is actually a real hospitality group based in Davenport, Ianwa, and they um have a meeting with Zayn Nash, who's the CEO. That's a fake name. and it's a fake CEO. And it goes well, right? We learn a lot more about VA's history and her family history and how they got that cattle. And it turns out it's kind of gritty. Um, we share a little bit more about Beth, but she kind of deflects instead of talking about the Dutton family line. But I think the big takeaway is not only are they really, really good salespeople, Beth and Bula clearly have much much more in common than they do um to separate them. And by the end, they start to to bond over that over drinks, which is fun. so much fun. I thought that um the final scene, well, there was two scenes at the end and one I have a clip of one I do not. Um but did you think that they were kind of getting pretty drunk? Like they were well into their third, fourth, or fifth class of whatever they were sipping. Oh, that's interesting. No, I didn't think that. Why do you feel that way? Bula was for sure. I thought Bula was for sure because she was getting kind of I mean I you know like drunk grandma talk you know I don't know if you have a drunk grandma on your side or not. You're my girl girl. No I that didn't cross my mind. Bula shares a little bit more about Rob Will and Waqen and how they came to be. His daddy died in an awful flood before he was born. Then little baby Walkane was dropped in my lap. by Ranchand who uh he got on the wrong side of the law. Well, this answered our question about Everett being one of the fathers. Remember we had that moment where we're like maybe Rob Will is um Everett's son. Yep. It it sounds like if she's telling the truth, um, Rob Will's father died. And that allows us to update the family tree once again here. And you see we have Waqen adopted by Bula. We still believe Mariano is the father. Um, this would be the ranch hand who ended up on the wrong side of the law because that tracks what we what we think about Mariano running a drug business that is funneled through the beef. um and the cattle. Um and we don't really know who Rob Will's father is, but we know that he's dead. And I don't think we're really going to I don't think it's going to be important to know who he is. I could be wrong. I do think that maybe we need to know who um Oriana's mother is, don't you? Because it's just sort of out there. Like we know her father is Rob Will. Who's the mom? They need to refer to her. I feel like it's kind of like the Disney movies. If if you've noticed the mom either gets killed off or she doesn't exist and we never get closure there. We see Bambi's mom die. But like like Snow White, Cinderella, think about it. You know what's so sad though? Speaking of Oriana, I I hated I hated this moment for Carter. Sweet. Carter is falling in love. His guards are down. He says, "Oriana, I think I love you." And she's like, "I don't think you do." And I'm like, "Oriana, you brat." Oriana. Yeah. I think I love you. I don't think either of us really know what love is straight to my heart. I I feel for Carter cuz I feel like I've been there in my teenage past where maybe I dropped an elbomb that was way too soon, not fully meant and considered and it kind of got thrown back in my face. I think many a teenage boy has done just that. And maybe not even teenage boys. I'm sure that's a teenage thing to do, right? It is to say I love you to the first girl that um takes her top off for you or whatever the case may be for you. I was like maybe that's not like the exact scenario. Well, it feels like Yeah, in garter scenario. Yeah, I know. And then that scene kind of made me think, wait, maybe Oriana isn't good for you. In my opinion, this scene kind of tied up one of the biggest loopholes we've had with this season of Dutton Ranch, and that is why we had Dwight White. It doesn't quite tie up the leopard, but it explains Dwight White's presence on the show. Um, I felt like his presence and his that relationship between Dwight and Carter inspired a real change in Carter. That now he's telling Oriana just prior to dropping the Elbomb. He doesn't want to be Beth and Rips. He wants to do his own thing and think for himself because he doesn't feel like he's been able to do that really his entire life because, you know, his mom died when he was 11. His dad OD when he was 14, he was taken care of by Beth and Rip who have been great to him. But now he's wanting to assert some independence. Dwight sort of gave him the freedom to do that a little bit. Um, even though Dwight was not a good person, like he at least treated them like an equal in a lot of ways. Am I reading too much into that scene or or do you agree? I mean, a little part of me feels like you're reading into it too much, but it would then it would justify why Dwight existed. I don't get the leopard fully. I don't either. I'm telling I I mean, you know my theory. You know my theory of of how that's all going to continue to go down. So that that still sticks because that's only I'm like, why else do you exist? Yeah. Um, what episode is the care helicopter in? That's a good question here because we keep waiting for that. This is from the trailer um of the show. And if if you're just kind of tuning in here to the Dutton Rules podcast for the first time, you can drop a comment there in the chat and we put a lot of them on screen. It's truly a good conversation here. Um, and we'll respond to some of those sort of in real time. For instance, why was Dwight not a good person? Well, he committed a lot of crimes, I think. Um, that would be the reason. I I you know, are all criminals bad people? No. But that's all we really know about him is he sat around all day, probably had an illegal leopard on his land, and had some insurance fraud. So, those are kind of three strikes in the not a good person category. No offense to anybody who watching who might also have a leopard, be committing insurance fraud, and drink a 12-pack of beer before noon. Staff at tasteofcountry.com. No, I'm just kidding. It's where you can tell us now. Uh, let's talk Rip and Walken. The moment where he pulls where Rip pulls Waqen into the car after his hand has been shot by Chad and says, "I'm going to take you, you know, to a doctor." Which I knew he was going to Everett's house. Like that was that that writing was on the wall, but he stops the car halfway through and says, "Why did you put that body on my land?" Wes Hayes was one of our hands. He was also Rob Will and Jet's dealer. I don't know how long ago it started, but it spun out of control. Walken explains to Rip that it was Rob Will that did it and that's why they shot Wes. But he tells a lie there. Like Wes was not a drug dealer. Like he was a family man with a baby dedicated. So why is Waim telling that lie? And why is he so good at making up a lie on the spot? because he's bad to the bone. I think I think so. Like I've been trying to give him a little bit of the benefit of the doubt uh up to this point, but I think he's probably more involved in what we believe is a um a drug trade than we know at this point in the series. I agree. Do you think he truly knew? Let me get to this next part. Rip asks, "Where's Rob Will now?" Sacred Messa rehab facility in Sedona. After that, I've lined up a job in Botswana. He will take disgruntled princes like himself to slaughter elephants so they can pretend to be heroic knights. Do you think that's the truth or do you think that he he knows where Rob Will is and he's working with Rob Will? Uh, I kind of think he does know that. or sorry, he genuinely thinks that Rob Will is still in rehab because he's the one that told Bula like he actually needs to go away. So, he was kind of the one in the very beginning pushing it so hard that I kind of think that he's unaware that Rob Will is out. Okay. You don't agree with me? No, no. I I do agree with you. I I think um I don't think he and Rob will are allies. They might kind of have the same goal in mind. They want to um they don't want what Bula wants, but I don't think they're going to work together to get it. So that maybe it's a a three-way power struggle by the end of by the end of this series. Yeah, it's going to be interesting. Um did anything else happen? Nothing else happened really in that scene in particular. He goes to see Everett. Everett stitches up his hand and everything's good to go. We got Chat dead. Um, that's kind of the meat of that sequence, although I think it'll rear its head uh this this next coming episode. Yeah, I'm excited to see kind of like Rob will I think he's going to provide some comedic relief unintentionally just because he's a uh sorry, I just read the word I was thinking. He knows like I can't say that he's he's just he's Rob. What did you make about the My brain buffered? I'm sorry. What did you make about the end of the conversation between Beth and Bula? Bula seems like we've seen a lot of uh clips from upcoming episodes where Bula seems intent on on getting as much information as she can about Beth and Rip. And then she brings up Jaime Dutton in a way and she was clearly fishing for something like she wants to know if Beth knows a little bit more about her brother died. I feel like she's kind of successful because Beth dodges the topic a little bit. Do you think that was just kind of tipsy Bula talk or do you think Bula was trying to get at something there? I think everyone's confused how he just disappeared, how Jaime just bye-bye. So, I think as she's digging more into it, I do think it's intentional of like something's fishy here, there's secrets. I don't know what those secrets are, but there's something. How would you feel if the Jamie Dutton plotline kind of became entwined with this show? I'd love it. You would. Let's bring it back. Yeah. You want to see Beth kind of ins snared in that whole drama and having to defend herself and fight off those rumors. Okay. Well, when you say it like that, you make it sound like this is about to be a big ordeal. So, I guess no, but yeah, a little bit. Well, I mean, how does that I mean, how do you It's like when a parent says, "So, do you really want to do this and this is the XYZ result?" And you're like, "No crap. Okay, fine. No, I don't want to do it, Mom." That's exactly You just You just dadded me, Billy. I was trying really hard to be fair and and non-judgmental there. I did not succeed. No bunch of bull crap. Okay. So, clearly you think differently. I do I I do I do I just I feel like that's done with. I don't want to see like Montana meet Texas really in any sort of way. Like people are are thinking maybe Marshalls is going to meet Dutton Ranch. Like at most I'll take like one of those cowboys stumbling out of the Dutton Ranch. Like give me a give me um what's Ian Bowen's character's name? Ryan. Give me a Ryan or a Teeter. Like a Teeter appearance. I'm here for it. Billy Teter. Just let that one go. You're not seeing Teeter. No, probably not. But I'd be okay if I did, right? like just for like an episode, but like this whole plot line where we have to kind of rewrite and extend the Yellowstone if it just feels like that that thread is already pretty bare. So, I don't know if I'm here for that again. Okay. Hey, listen. We can disagree if you want. Mark checking in says he thinks episode 7 looks good. I think Mariano will show up in the last episode like Andy Garcia did in Land Man to mean the be the main villain in season two. Um, I think that's a pretty solid theory. Um, and there's one other here that I'm trying to get on the screen. Did anyone else get the part where Beth and Bula were in the meeting and there was a reference to John Wayne when Beth sees the Spurs and he refers to the movie called The Searchers. Um I did because they call they talk about the Duke and I looked that movie up. I haven't seen that movie. It's like 60 years old. Um but it's a considered to be one of the hundred best films of all time. Um an early John Wayne movie. Um, so a nice little piece of cowboy history there on the the desk of Jane Man, uh, Jane Zayn Nash. Thank you for noticing those little details. Everybody knows we really kind of uh appreciate that kind of thing. And there was a lot of cool cowboy stuff this episode. So much. Uh, and it it was it was pretty good. Like not only the action sequence, but we got a sense that Azul knows those guys from the 10 pedal a little bit better than maybe we we were led to believe. Um, and that was what all Yellowstone always did best. It managed to find a place for that between like the tense drama and it really made the pace of the show much more enjoyable. And I and I thought this episode of Dutton Ranch in particular and some others have as well felt like Yellowstone in that kind of way. Like the pace was very good, but there was still a cliffhanger and a lot to talk about and look forward to for next week. Big Joe 1013 is asking, "Do we think the story will be wrapped up in one season?" I don't think so. If it is wrapped up, why would we want a second? I think that theory that maybe um the main villain for season two will appear at the end of season 1, I think that is a solid theory. Um I think it will wrap up in a sense. Um but I don't know if every thread will wrap up. There'll be a little bit of a cliffhanger. I mean, all good shows do that, right? Like even season two of Land Man ended with a little cliffhanger that Oil Avengers, if you recall, the oil Avengers. I know. I kind of want to I told you I'm reading a book right now talking about the big is it the big four? Um who like started the oil world in the US. I like kind of want that for like cowboys, the western ranching world. Anyways, if anyone knows of that, let me know. Um, speaking of kind of a preview, I know that you're I have not seen the trailer for episode 7 yet. I know that you are geeking out about it. I'm curious. Episode 7 is called, I believe, Den of Sin if I'm not mistaken. and we're going to watch the full 30 secondond trailer and then we're going to go back and kind of freeze on some key points in the trailer um that I think illustrate what's about to happen in episode 7, 8 or 9. What are you doing here? Have a seat on the next episode of Dun Ranch. As of tonight, I intend to pass the reigns on to the next generation. The second you've had enough, just walk away. Find a quiet place. Have a fun. Time of my life. A female has a gun and is shooting someone. That's one. That's a female, right? I believe it was. Yeah, it looks like a woman. Um, but who? I don't know. It doesn't look like Bula. Maybe Beth. Well, it looks like a kind of a rough building, right? like this isn't a high class place that she's behind because she's behind those vinyl blades and they're all kind of tore up like a dog's been attacking them. Um a Whitney, you know, Wes's wife, Whitney, is she shooting at someone? That's true. Cuz I've been asking where um Rob Will. No, Rob Will can't die just coming back from No. Yeah, it can't be Rob Will. Who else? Yeah. So, that leaves Walken or maybe one of the ranch hands, but I can't see her. Walken. Hold up. Walken is too bougie. Walken ain't living somewhere like that. No, but he might find her and go pay her a visit. He's already done that once this season. Okay. And then I'm trying to think of what else. I don't think it's Beth though, right? Are you in agreement? You know, that does not look like Beth's form to me. No. See, I think it could be Beth. It doesn't look like Bele. That's the only person Beth stands up taller and is a little bit more regal. But anyway, it could be, but um that that's not necessarily what I think. But so the other one was this. And this is at the very beginning. Rob Will surprises Bula with a visit. And look who else is in the room. And look at her expression. Oriana. And Oriana satisfied. Yeah, I was about to say she looked like she knew. So, we've already figured out that Oriana is team Rob Will, which that makes sense because it's her father. This is why I think Oriana could end up dead, is because if she's team Rob Will, Carter at she at some point is going to have to make a choice between Rob Will and Carter. And it ain't looking good for our boy right now. Like, I feel like Carter is going to have his heart smashed even more than it kind of already is. And there's no way we get to the end of the season without Rip killing Rob Will. That's just my prediction. I feel like Rip's gonna put a bullet in his head and that's gonna make Thanksgiving dinner between Carter and Orianna really awkward. I just realized that I bet that's who remember when she was on the boat and she's like, "We've got to go." I bet Rob Will was calling her. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That didn't hit me until right now. Oh, you don't know 100%. I um No, no. Yeah, I think it's that's who it is. And it probably has to do with I mean the overall plot of this upcoming episode is Bula holding this um celebration for her ranch's uh 190th birthday. And she appears set to pass it down to the next generation, whoever that is. I don't know who that is. Like we is that who she's passing it down to? I'd assume so. Cuz Yeah. Yeah. Um and but then Rob Will and Oriana are standing together looking quite perturbed on site while that happens. So um I'm not I'm not 100% sure um where that where that leads, I guess. But the power struggle really begins in earnest here. And this is I think where maybe Oriana has her heel turn and she becomes full villain in this episode. I guess we'll have to see. We'll have to see. I'm okay with it. I don't know how I feel. I don't know how I feel. Uh it's going to be a good episode though. So that come that drops on Sunday and of course we'll break that down next Tuesday as we get to really next Tuesday when we talk it's just be two more episodes because we're getting towards the very end of this show. What have you thought so far? Like if you were to compare this show, give it a grade on season one of Dutton Ranch through six episodes. I'd give it an eight. I've really enjoyed watching it. I would watch it on my own time. Yeah, I'm right there with you. I I thought of the six episodes, there was one I thought was a little less than, but I thought the other five were very good. Um, and I'll take that from any show. I agree with you. Well, we are moving along on this podcast and the next thing I have for us is to talk about last week's trivia and then this week's trivia. Trivia this week. Um, as always, it's for one of the Dutton Rules t-shirts at Taste of Country Store, and you can search that. A number of people who have won in previous weeks have reached out wondering why they haven't gotten um a contact or they gotten their t-shirt. I tend to send these in batches. I wait till there's three or four and then I email everybody. So, if you don't get uh an immediate response, I'll get you. I promise. Um but we'll get you that t-shirt. Uh, it's the first person or it's one correct answer from all correct answers either in the comment section of the video or you can email staff@tasteofcountry.com. And last week's trivia question was a little confusing, a little verbose, but it was this. Oriana actress Natalia Lin Lind has several famous family members, including one that portrayed a very famous country singer. Who is that actress and who is that singer? And the answer is the answer uh Dolly Parton. She portrayed young Dolly Parton. Olivia Alin Lind. This is Natalie's sister portrayed young Dolly Parton in a pair of Cody coat of many color movies on ABC. I think Natalie has two other sisters that act and her mom also is um an accomplished actress in her own right. My apologies. I did not write down the name of the winner, so I cannot give that person their accolades um at this point, but uh we'll be in touch very soon. This week's trivia once again for a Dutton Rules t-shirt, Taste of Country Store. This one's more difficult. While talking to Zayn Nash, Bula and Beth note a pair of Mcchznney spurs on his desk. That was from the 1956 film The Searchers, starring John Wayne. We talked about that a little bit. This is the second time that a famous spur maker was hattipped in a Yellowstone production. Who was the first? I literally remember that scene and we talked about it and he died in real life. Correct. It was one of the most shoehorned scenes I thought in Yellowstone franchise history, but uh an appropriate tribute to someone who, as it turns out, is a pretty big legend in that world. So, a first answer or one correct answer chosen from all correct answers at staff at tasteofcountry.com or you can drop it in the comments section. And I appreciate all the feedback here. Another great audience for this chat, by the way. Uh um we're up to near our record in concurrent viewers, which we appreciate. We've continued to have a um a good audience week to week. So, thank you so much for tuning back in and finding us on Tuesdays. A bit of an odd time. I know it takes a little bit of work to get there, but um we do appreciate you. We're going to move on to our Q&A. And the first one I have is from Big Kills 2608 on YouTube, who says, "Never say I love you first if you are a guy. always allow the girl to say it first. I don't know if I agree. I feel like in my previous relationships, I actually was not the one who said it first. I guess it just depends. I don't think it's a bad rule to live by. I I got to be honest. Like I feel Wait, why? I think it's it's kind of like it's a risk either way. Like if I say I love you first, like the guy could not say it and then I'm stewing in my head. I feel like saying I love you is a little bit like proposing marriage where you need to be 100% certain of the answer before you ask the question like you can't just Wouldn't that be though the same puller? Wouldn't it be the same thing though of like for a female like I I better be 100% certain before I say I love you. So really just it's a risky either way. I feel like women can get a little bit more forgiveness for being overly emotional in a moment. like we can kind of move on past that. Whereas a guy is like this guy you say I love you then you're pretty quickly you're on a slipper slippery slope down to like being kind of a creeper or a stalker. Yes. Yeah. It's a slippery slope there. And that you can't recover from from as a guy as a guy. A girl who says that all they're at risk of is being a little bit crazy. And crazy girls they're still lovable. Crazy girl. country song. Country song about it. My man Carter like he had like they've had like three dates and he's doing it, buddy. Like you need some more experiences. Uh the next one is on YouTube from SK God uh Jian. Did I say that correct? Yeah, tough name. Um writes, "Am I the only one that thinks Oriana's babysitter called the cops on Dwight about having a leopard?" That feels like a This is a very popular theory. that Ma Miguel is responsible for calling the cops because remember he dropped her off or picked her up from Dwight's ranch. So maybe he saw the leopard. I don't know what his motive would be for that though. There wouldn't be in my eyes. It's like what do you gain from that? You don't Yeah. Again, I just don't think we're going to see the leopard again. I think like lug nuts, we got to let this one go. We're seeing the leopard again. But I digress. Okay, the last one I have is on YouTube from Nenah AD who says, "Please don't take offense to this, but you look like Steve Sherrilla and I hate that because I love listening to you and you're a great storyteller. I'm sorry." Is that you? Who's Steve? Is the father of McKenzie Sherilla who had a documentary called The Crash made about her. I'm looking the killer. And I got to be honest, Addison, I just don't see the resemblance. In fact, feel like that's a little bit I feel like that's a little bit I don't know. Similar eye shape maybe. Yeah, definitely. I think the beard and facial hair. Yeah, definitely. You know, I can kind of see Ah, I don't know if I see it. I think it's just I think it's just the facial hair. Oh, people are agreeing. Sharilla looks a little bit like this guy about your AI version, your fan art. Little thicker beard, a little more tired eyes. Um, maybe that's the case, but we appreciate you. That was a complimentary email uh a comment, by the way. She appreciated um the show overall. So, #justice for the leopard. Should we give the leopard a name? Fiona. Fiona. Well, Dwight called her Zena, and I didn't really care for that. So, I'm Fiona. That was the literally the first name that popped into my head. Fiona. Teenage love is more so lust. 100% true. 100%. I'm going to give you that. I wonder how many people I've said I love to in my life. I've told one guy I love him. One. I've had multiple boy boyfriends. Yeah. Yeah. College. A lot of a lot of people throwing love bombs at you, but you only gave it one time. Sure. I I would say I'm in a similar position where I've said it way more than like in junior high I was I love you and I love you and I love you. I love you. You get I love you. Yeah. Oh, James, that's funny. Fiona the big feline. That's good. Yeah. Um all right. So staff at tastecountry.com or drop a comment in the YouTube section there if um you have a question, comment, conspiracy theory for next week. You want to talk about some music? Just one song of note this episode as I take a brief pause to give Addison time to collect her thoughts. Delete and prepare the close for the show. want to have a good streak going here and also while I find the song. While Carter was pouring his heart out to Oriana only to get to the a response that says something like not so much. We heard a song called Ramble on Man by Charlie Marie. Very good song. I suggest you go listen to it. But that was really the only song of substance in this episode. This show hasn't been as music friendly as I thought it would be. Like, we got a lot of songs and some live performances early. We knew Morgan Wade, country singer, was the B gonna be the bartender and we haven't seen her in several weeks. Um, it's been about one maybe two shows an episode so far, which is a little bit surprising, but good songs. All righty, y'all. Well, the Dutton Rules Yellowstone franchise podcast is another fine tooth combing town square media podcast. You got We love you too, Rachel. This will make a lot of sense when you see this. Thank you very much for watching and listening. By all.
