Hello, Addison. >> Hey, Billy Dukes. How you doing over there? >> Good. You? >> I'm doing great. >> I want to get our Land Man episode 8 rating right out of the way. We haven't Last week we agreed on a scale of 1 to 10, you gave Land Man a >> six. Oh, Layman as a Wait, what? >> Episode eight, how do you grade Land Man episode eight? I I think I I'm giving it an eight. >> Gosh, I'm there with you. I think I liked this episode quite a bit. I did. >> Wow. >> I did. I'm It's kind of settling into its own thing and I have an explanation for that um a little bit later why I think Land Man is kind of coming. One key character change that I think kind of made everything work here these last few episodes. And I think you and I are probably thinking of the same character. >> Okay. Well, we'll find out here shortly. Lot to talk about today. >> Well, yeah, we're going to talk all about episode 8. And we have watched the episode 9 trailer, so we'll also be covering that. And I know in episodes past I kind of watch it with y'all. This time I did watch it beforehand, so I have some thoughts. Um, and yeah, what was the poll question that you've been kind of putting out feelers for this week? >> Well, we've had a pretty good voting so far. This week's poll question, you can still take it if you're watching the live chat, is if you were Cammy, what would you do with MEX, would you sell the company, drill that well in the Gulf, or fight the insurance company? >> Drill the well in the Gulf. Oh, you're a risk taker. Okay. Well, right now that's the leading voter. Uh 33% say drill. No, I take that back. Uh it's changed nearly 50% now say sell the company, but it'll be a fluid poll here. We'll see how it ends up here before the end of the episode. >> I definitely I wouldn't say sell the company. >> I would if I was Cammy, I'd sell the company. >> I'd say that have having owned zero businesses. that that money sounds pretty good. Hey, quick shout out to our regulars here for ch checking in. We got Johnny, James, I see Sue, and then some new names as well. So, I appreciate the new audience. Last week's episode of this podcast was our most viewed podcast episode ever. We not only in real time did we have our best audience, but afterwards, which is partly to do with just like luck of the Google gods, but still, I'll take it. So, I'm glad we're growing that audience. >> No, truly. Thank y'all for always tuning in and listening. And this is such a um communal podcast. So definitely we couldn't do it without without y'all. And Billy was very impressed by the word that I used. I just saw your eyes go. >> I was wondering if you were going to save that to the end. I have to make one edit here to our our running our running order. Okay. >> Uh we need to get to last week's trivia question before we get into this episode. I'm interested to know why. Okay, let me know. Oh, why? >> Okay. Well, there's no specific reason, but we always do last week's trivia question. Then we come back at the end of the episode with a new trivia question, >> and I forgot to just mark that. This is just a little error on my part. Um, last week's trivia question as always for one of those great Dutton Rules t-shirts found at the Taste of Country store. If you're watching on YouTube, you can find links some of that merchandise there right below the video. And the question was as follows. On Land Man. Charlie Newsome plays a geologist who is asked to predict where gas may be on the ocean floor. In real life, one cast member is very familiar with marine biology and environmental science. Who is it? And I guessed Taylor Sheridan only just given the story that Guy gave us about how he had told Taylor, "Here's some things I'd want to change XYZ and Taylor was like, did you know that this can't happen because blah blah blah?" Like give him all these facts. So, but I'm wrong. >> You are wrong. And in fact, this week there was not one single correct answer. >> Dang. >> Everyone swung and miss on this one. And I thought I might have kind of teed it up a little bit because I talked about this actor quite a bit throughout the episode last week, but Mustafa speaks who has who plays boss. He has a BS in marine and environmental science and he authored a groundbreaking publication on shark behavior. He even helped discover a repellent for sharks. >> What is he doing acting? >> It does seem like maybe there's better money for him to be made out there. He just wanted the more stressful job, I guess. >> Yeah. Like, wait a minute. What What's he doing? What's he doing playing on land, man? I love him. But wow, didn't know that he wasn't even someone who came to mind. >> He um staff at tasteofcountry.com is the email address. And we'll have a much much easier, I promise, trivia question a little bit later in the show today. >> Fingers crossed. >> Billy, I've got to talk about my favorite character this episode. gonna >> I think I know who it is, but go ahead. >> Cheyenne the stripper turned quote physical therapist. >> Hold on. Sounds like you have something for me. >> A long way. We turn north towards Colorado. Does >> that feel better? >> Everything feels better. Such a moment. What a moment for Sam Elliott and that actress right there. U presumably you watch, but if you didn't, Tommy gets this great idea on the way out of town to stop by Rick's Cabaret, which is an actual strip club in Odessa, Texas. Uh if anybody from Towns Square is watching, that is why I Googled that on my computer recently. I swear it was for work. and he hires um a dancer named Cheyenne to come be his father's physical therapist. Basically, he's just wants her to stretch him out a little bit, get his joints moving, kind of help him out, and she takes it really seriously. She learns a new to me form of therapy that involves what you saw there in the swimming pool. >> No. And I did some research, and aquatic therapy really is a real thing. it's better on. Now, I don't know about him doing kind of, you know, just laying there. I don't really know how much therapy that necessarily is, but when you look it up, it it's supposed to be for older individuals or even I mean, anyone swimming is just so much better on your joints. So for those who are older and you know you're trying to get maybe they had knee pain and you're trying to regain that by the um the resistance of the water although it's still gentle on them it is still you know building back muscle and different stuff that would be significantly harder for them on land. And I will say Billy I whenever I go to California this there's a reason why you see a certain age uh range doing water aerobics. I did water aerobics this past October. Holy Toledo. It is not for the faint of heart. Like it is I'm like Grandma Soup beside me was popping off and I'm huffing and puffing. So it's definitely still a good form of exercise and rehabilitation, but it's so much softer on the joints. So that really was a thing. I don't know about that. You know, just playing in the water like he was laying on his back. I don't know about that one, but aqua therapy really is a thing. >> It sounds like Sue has done it before. She says it's easy on the joints. And another person commented too with the actress's name. That's Francesca Zerub. And I'm not 100% sure if I've pronounced that name correctly. She's had a lot of different roles. I immediately recognized her for one of my I'm embarrassed to admit this is one of my favorite television shows, but I do love it. Have you watched the TV show Ted on Peacock? >> No. It looks stupid. >> This is the show with the bear. >> Uhhuh. It looks >> set in the 80s. She's part of that. She plays kind of a mean girl in the character's class. >> And there's a great scene with her and and um the main character's mom. Not Ted's mom because Ted's the bear. Ted's keeper's mom. >> Uh really really entertaining show. Side note here, I love talking bears. So, a TV show about a talking bear I'm all in on. Especially a foulmouth talking, but that's neither here nor there. That was her biggest episode. And she's good in that. She's pretty good in this, too. But I'm I'm not certain if my opinion wasn't skewed just a little bit. >> I do love you said this a few minutes ago. She didn't have to like really do any research. You know, Tommy was going to pair just to float him around the pool essentially, so she's like, "Okay, fine." I honestly found it endearing and really sweet that she's like, "Okay, like I'm going to look some things up." She took the job seriously. She was getting paid good money. And apparently Francesca as an actress made a pretty big impression on the cast of Land Man. >> I think the idea of having a physical therapist was probably invaluable. I had no idea where she was going to come from. and this gal Francesca that they got to play that role is pretty special. I'm curious where it's going to go. Put it that way. >> I'm eye rolling with Sam Elliot's real life wife cuz when he says she's pretty special, you know, the wife's just like, "All right, >> simmer down there, old man. >> Literally wearing blue jeans." Wait, was he kind of teasing that there might be a little love interest there when he's like, you know, it'll be interesting to see where it goes or where it heads, something like that. >> That seems un gosh >> that feels I I think >> likely, but >> I would be a little I think I would be a little out. I would be a little squirmy on that. Like, let's just keep it the sweet thing that it is. >> How about Dale when she comes walking through? Dale's funny. I love that moment where he's like, I think I need a physical therapist. Sam Elliot, get your own physical therapist. >> Are you TL? No, but I can be. >> He was funny. I really liked him. I really liked him in that scene. You know what I did appreciate in that scene is that he was wearing blue jeans in the swimming pool because I think it would have been it would have crossed a line a little bit if if TL was actually in his underwear. >> Yeah. >> Like that would have been kind of weird, but he was wearing blue jeans. It seemed on character and kind of didn't Land Man this season has avoided some of those sort of age sexual things like we were sexualizing teenagers a little bit too much in my opinion in season one. Yeah, Land Man's kind of avoided that. Aninsley's hormones have been tampered down a little bit. This would have been the opposite end of it I think with TL and and Cheyenne and they put them in blue jeans what made it all a little bit more safe I feel. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. the the thing that and if you kind of want to take the reigns on this, I got a little confused this episode where um Charlie was explaining what happened to the rig and why he thinks that there's gas >> and then how that played into Cam's decision. Can you kind of break that down for us? >> Okay, so we knew this meeting was coming. Um Nate and Rebecca decide that they would rather pursue litigation with the insurance company than try to actually drill the well because Charlie, who's the geologist, has said that there's a 10% chance that they'll actually find gas in the Gulf. Tommy agrees with the group that it's probably not very prudent to try to take that. They'd essentially be wilding. But we learn that Charlie's also a little bit of a he's got a little bit of a wild card cat explorer spirit at heart. Um what he explains is that for eight years this well in the Gulf was producing. Then they decided to go about 5,000 ft deeper in an effort to ramp up production and that's when everything fell apart there. Uh that's when the big trouble came for everybody. The question here is, did you push through an isolated pocket of gas or was this pocket indicative of a much larger reservoir? Which was your original geologist theory? One that I tend to agree with given the number of producing rigs in the region notated on here. >> Charlie is saying that he thinks that there's gas everywhere. They just went a little bit too far with that one drill. So, if they go back in and drill again, they'll be able to get that great gas production out and fairly easily recoup that $400 million loan or investment from Galino. >> So then why so if there's so much confidence there, why was Tommy so reserved about that choice when Cammy said, "Do it. Drill it." because it's spoken confidence, but Charlie still admits it's a 10% chance of actually being successful. Like, he thinks he can do it. He can beat the odds. He's like apparently the Michael Jordan of ocean geologists. Like, >> he can he can take that chance and win. But in the big picture, it's still a huge huge risk >> um on this investment. So, Cammy though, she's playing with her emotions. Like, she's making emotional decisions. She wants to drill. She wants to make that big money and kind of almost create her own company just eight months after her husband died. Uh it seems like a rash decision to me. And this goes back to our poll poll question. I'm team sell the company. You know, find my own if I'm Cammy. I find my own business that I'm comfortable running. I don't necessarily just want to pick up my husband's business and run. >> Yeah, I I agree with you. She's she's a little too emotionally inclined or emotional emotionally leaning when it comes to her her choices. And I will say that the um episode was called Handsome Touched Me. And it it wasn't what I thought it was. This all kind of happened in the same like sequence when Charlie right before Charlie and um Rebecca came. It was about a 10 to 12 minute long series of scenes. But handsome refers to the guy at the bar, I think, who wiped salad dressing off of Cammy Miller's face. Like he is handsome who touched me, which kind of feel like she owes that guy an apology. Like he wasn't too far out of line. He's just doing what older single guys do when they see beautiful women at the bar. Maybe he realized he's married and then in which case his bad. But maybe he didn't even look at the ring. >> I'm sorry. >> I'm giving him too much. Maybe I'm giving up. As I said that, I realized >> that rock I could probably see from space. But yes, her her reaction where it's almost like he kissed her is how I felt like she reacted. It was too much. Which granted, we understand when she goes to the bathroom, it's more of a moment of her husband touched her that way. And so it was it was essentially triggered of just like past remembrance >> that she took out on the poor man. Which granted, I'm going to be honest. I'm not sitting at a bar and a guy's not coming over and brushing ketchup off my face. I don't know about ketchup, but I don't know. >> I got to say that doesn't end it wouldn't endear me to that guy if I was a woman. Like that would I'd be instantly embarrassed and that wouldn't be like like oh haha cute. Thank you. my savior who wipes my salad dressing off my face because apparently I can't do that myself. >> Like if he told me like, "Yay, you got a little ketchup on your face." Like that. That's probably one thing. And then you can just flirt your way through that. But yeah, don't don't be wiping it off for me when I don't know you. >> So at the end of the day, Cammy has decided that she wants to take Galino's investment of $400 million and she is going to move forward. Tommy hopes that he can talk Galeno out of making the loan because it's a huge huge gamble and he stands to lo lose the $400 million. But Galino is not very easily convinced. The best thing is the well is dry. It's over quick. She sells the pieces, but she retires a very, very wealthy woman. >> Not as wealthy as you. >> No, but that's what $400 million buys you. And if you were in my position, would you do different? >> Nothing. I'd do it the same. >> Galino seeming less and less like a bad guy. And truly, he's just a he's a businessman. >> He's made a he's figured out a way to sort of short stock in Cammy Miller. Like, he's made himself into a win-win position. I don't know. I had to watch that scene two or three times to kind of understand all about the royalties and what Cammy Miller put up to secure that loan. >> Did you get it the first chance? >> What? $400 million, but the best thing. >> Sorry about that. >> Did you understand it? >> Kind of. >> Okay, I'm going to try to break it down. >> He wins regard he's he's going to benefit regardless. It's not as risky on his behalf. So Cammy took the 400 million from Dan Morel aka Gino and she secured that loan with royalty payments from the existing leases which generate about $300 million a year. Royalties in that oil world are essentially a share of the profit pumped from every gallon of gas. Could be a couple bucks few bucks per gallon for a land owner. Um if the wells dry, Dan will get to keep all those existing royalties. Hence the does it kill the company because then Mtax would have no more uh flow of income. I'm going to give you a scenario here and I think this kind of simplifies it a little bit. Addison, imagine you own 50 acres of land somewhere in Texas. All right, you discover oil and the oil company says, "Addison, let us drill. We'll buy we'll pay for everything, cover all costs. We're going to give you two to three bucks a gallon in perpetuity." That's easily $10 to $20,000 per month in your pocket for just basically on an oil company setup shop. >> But then your eyes get a little bit bigger and you think, "Oo, across the street there, I bet you there's some gas. I need some money to go drill over there on my own. That way I can make the big money." >> So you want to kind of wildat your own well. So you go to your friend, um, we'll call him Don Morell, and say, "Loan me this money. if I can't pay you back, you can keep all that royalties on that original drill site. Don knows that he's either as an investor going to strike it rich with you or he's going to get to recoup that full investment in like 20 to 40 months time. You go bankrupt and it's all profit for him. It's smart on his behalf and it's one of those that I can't I don't think he's a bad guy for it. Th this is and and we're getting some comments here and I' I've asked this question several different times um throughout this series. Who is the bad guy in season two of Land Man? I don't know that it's it's Galino. Like what has he done this season that's bad? He's made a ethical loan to someone who needed it. >> Yeah. >> Um he hasn't really screwed anybody over. Like he's just kind of a thorn in Tommy's side. And even last year, he was kind of a good guy because he saved Tommy's life. He's just sort of that friend who's been in the jail a few times. You know, you maybe you don't trust him with all your money, but he might have some good money advice here or there. >> Uh stafftastefcountry.com. I I see some people come asking um the email that they can send trivia and other things to. So that's stafftasteofcountry.com. And speaking of money, Billy, we got talking about Angela at the casino. >> Someone posed a good question real quick. Give me a second. I apologize, Addison. >> No, you're good. I missed it. >> Uh Dana, >> I can't say that. Dana's Elam has a question. >> I think the gas drilling is where the disaster is going to leave. >> Uh lives in the balance season over boom. >> We do seem to be rapidly getting to that gas exploration. If you saw some of the preview, we'll play the trailer for episode 9 here in just a few seconds, but that does sort of speak to that theory. So, hold that point, Dana. Um, because that could be pretty pretty intuitive there. >> All right. You were saying I apologize. >> No, you're good. Uh, I loved Angela. The whole just old folk scenes were just just so happy this episode. But I loved watching Angela at the casino. She's a badass. I've always thought that, but then seeing she's not just like this badass blonde who sometimes won't not sometimes only knows how to yell and does not have an inside voice whatsoever, but she's a little bit of a like a strategy strategy girl. The way that she hustled at the roulette table and made what $300,000, right? >> We'll get to that point. Well, here. >> Hey, baby. Did you happen to count how much money your mom made? >> 17,622.668. >> How the hell do you win 68? >> Nickel slots. >> It was me. >> Good job, baby. >> Apparently 17-year-olds can play the slots in Texas, but that's neither here nor there. Uh, Angela wins most of that money on the craps table, but she also does very well at the >> Oh my goodness. >> It's a good win. >> You ready to cash out? >> I'm happy. Let it ride. >> Ah, God. >> Let it ride. >> All right. >> I believe >> 24. >> I loved it. I was like, uh, Tommy loans her, or not loans her, he gives her $10,000. She made a profit. Pop off, queen. >> Yeah, I'd say so. That was a fun scene. I mean, the the scenes with the old folks this season have been nothing but just good sort of entertainment with a little bit of depth. Sometimes the Angela Anley scenes are a little shallow, but whenever with they're with old folks at the assisted living home, it always sort of I don't know, you feel good watching those scenes. I still think that that's going to lead to some sort of tragedy down the line. Maybe not this season. Gosh, >> they're old. One of them might die, you know. Okay. >> Okay. Martin has a good point here. They were in Carl's bad, New Mexico. There's no slot machines in Texas. Well, I don't think you can be 17 and gamble in New Mexico either. Um, but >> I have to be 18 for I don't know. >> I think you got to be 21. >> Do you not? >> In drinking establishments. >> Oh, maybe. I don't know why I thought in Oklahoma you just had to be 18, but I I wasn't gambling at 18. So to be honest, I don't know. >> Did Have you ever been to a casino? >> I have. I hate it. >> Why? >> Maybe if I went to a non-smoking casino, but about an hour in I have the worst headache and I just don't like it. Yeah, you got to go to better casinos that have better ventilation or uh >> maybe I've just been to a lot in Vegas and that the whole time I'm just kind of like, okay, I think my head is just pounding from secondhand smoke. >> I go very rarely and I'm not a huge gambler, but I did go several years ago. We had a Super Bowl weekend where I went and watched the Super Bowl and ahead of time we we stopped at a casino in Michigan City, Indiana. And I was just playing video poker. And me and my brother-in-law both won like about a thousand bucks each playing video poker. >> That was a good day. That was a good day. >> That's fun. >> And I promise I told my wife about it. >> If not, she's hearing about it now. >> She might be. Who knows? She'll pop in here anytime she wants. >> RIP. If you know, you know. So you um we we mentioned we got to a scene there with Aninsley and I want to mention one thing about Aninsley really quickly with regards to that counting scene. And I don't know if you've noticed this but this season Aninsley is acting much more like a teenager >> than she is sort of this over sexualized young woman like she was. And I think the show is better off for it. She really admires her mom. She looks up to her. She's calmer. She's the nervous one in the group as her mom's spending that money. And like that's a total teenager thing to do. like you would count that money down to the penny to know how much your mom won at the table. Um, it's a lot more comfortable and I I I enjoy it a lot more than I enjoyed Ansley in season and she's still a Spitfire, but I don't I don't it's not as uncomfortable of a watch as it was at times for me in season one. >> I agree. And to your point, they're they're under sexualizing her in a good way. >> Yeah. She hasn't had any boyfriends >> this season. um if you've noticed um and last season it was like boyfriend after boyfriend and like bedroom scenes and >> uh I've I've I've appreciated that. >> So this just a little character development there. >> I agree. Do you think and we're going to talk about this probably a little bit more in uh trailer for episode 9. Are you still confident that Boss is going to be the one who dies? So, this goes back to our conversation from last week about how we feel one character in particular is going to die. Um, not only me, but a lot of people watching thought that boss was on tap because of that conversation he had about how he's retiring at the end of the summer. And that's just such a a trope for TV and film for that person never to make it to retirement. There was a scene from this episode that kind of reinforced that for me. And when we get to the trailer, there's another moment. Um, here's what I'm talking about. I'll have to explain probably, but to me this is um to me this is evidence that I can't find the clip. >> Well, you look for it. >> I apologize. I can't find the clip, but it's the scene where with Cooper and Boss and Cooper is now project manager. Bosch is expressing some hesitation. like they're keeping this whole plotline going of Cooper and Boss and these other guys. It has really not gone anywhere, but I think it is going to go somewhere by episodes nine or 10. I think that's going to be the source of some tragedy here before the uh the end of season two. >> Let's let's break down on that note trailer for episode. >> Yeah. Okay. We've both watched this and the trailer came late this this week. Um, typically the trailer has been out right after the previous episode. This one's just dropped on Tuesday morning. >> What's that smell? >> That's money. Next time on Land Man. >> Why don't you come with me? Let me show you the future. >> The future? You have a crystal pole? >> I think maybe. So, >> this is my crew now. Yes or no? If >> this thing don't work, it's our ass. >> I understand it now. There's an exhilaration to the risk. >> That rush cost me everything. President of my company can't be averse to the very thing that built it. >> What are you saying? >> Takeaways. What did you see there? >> Well, first when they open up that scene with Rebecca going, "Oh, what's that smell?" I deeply deeply related to that after driving as you yall know last week or the week before through Leach. Um and you just have a ton of pump jacks around you and that smell of that natural gas. I mean, my brother and I both at one point were like, we have the circ button on in this truck and somehow we are still smelling that natural gas. It is is thick. Um well, one thing that it looks like Galino for whatever is happening, he's living high on life. So, that concerns me a little bit um of whatever's going on either with the uh the oil rig or whatever. He's still profiting. Yeah. >> I thought there was a lot of distraction in that trailer. I thought what was important was two things. And one was really subtle. Did you see Angela was in tears there? >> Yeah. To be honest, I didn't I just ignored that only because I feel like she's in tears a lot or like pissed off. >> Yeah, I guess. >> But I ignored Gino for that same reason. I thought to myself, "Oh, he's just being Galino living the the rich man life with his wife. Well, something I did notice is it looks like I don't I don't know what was being pulled out by a tugboat, but either drilling equipment in the water. Um, it's not an oil rig. I don't know what that was being pulled out, but clearly it had to do with either the equipment that they're trying to get out to an oil rig or something. And it looks like it's sinking, which not a great sign. >> Oh, did you think it was sinking? I thought just opposite. I thought they were pulling it out into the water. and getting started. >> Look at that again. It's It's dipping in the back. >> I I don't I don't know. I didn't For some whatever reason, I wasn't concerned by that. I don't know. I know that's not logical. >> Okay, we'll we'll circle back when uh when whatever it is is sinking. But yeah, I think Boss is right in his fate. He's like, if this goes wrong, >> right, >> it's our rear end. And I'm like, crap, I got gonna go wrong. Yeah, it looks like they're attempting it anyway to move on with that well in the Gulf. And I think the little clip of Charlie we saw might have been him on the rig or on a boat heading out that way. So like they're boom, they're they're going with this thing. They're wasting no time to get started. They kind of have to because they have to appease the insurance company at this point. But um that was the big takeaway there. And then in the end, let's not dismiss that line from Cammy who says uh the president of her company is opposed to the very thing that founded the company, which is I think she's referring to wildcatting >> an exploration of new wells. >> But isn't that what she okayed? >> Yeah, but Tommy's against it. So, it sounded to me like she was >> I think they're trying to get you to think that she's going to fire him, which no way that happens. But that's what I think her statement was sort of meant to do. >> Got it. That's all I took from I don't have anything else from the trailer. Do you? >> Well, James points out that TL was upset by something. >> I don't know. >> I wonder if he falls again and then he's just really upset that life isn't getting any easier. >> I don't know. >> Yeah, maybe. He's kind of a moody old man, isn't he? Let's watch it one more time. What's that smell? >> That's money. Next time on Land Man. Why don't you come with me? Let me show you the future. >> The future? Do you have a crystal ball? >> I think maybe. So, >> this is my crew now. Yes or no? >> This thing don't work as >> I understand it now. There's an exhilaration to the risk. >> That rush cost me everything. >> President of my company can't be averse to the very thing that built it. >> What do you say? You know, another line we missed there. It does sound like we get a little bit more information on the rush that cost Tommy his first fortune and ended his marriage. >> Mhm. >> A little background information there. They they really they really give you his backstory in in small bites, don't they? >> Mhm. I >> kind of surprising thing to me. Uh, kind of going off his backstory, I do think in episode 8, I like that we're seeing a slightly more compassionate side to Tommy between I don't know between, you know, the TL getting him a physical therapist and even when he was asking, you know, who did Ansley count the money and just the way that he was saying that like, good job, girl, honey, or whatever. I I think we're I'm seeing a little bit of a softer compassionate side to Tommy Norris. >> And and that's kind of what we were talking about. I think we were both on the same page when we started today's episode and conversation is that Tommy's compassion and patience is making everything work now. Like >> when Angela and Aninsley were a little overbearing and Rebecca was a little bit unbearable, like Tommy was grading with them, but now he kind of lets it happen and manages that crazy. It's much much more enjoyable and in some strange kind of way and maybe this speaks a little bit to my growing up relatable. Um, but I thought that was a great change brought on by that in-depth conversation he had with his father TL at the cafeteria. I think last episode or the episode previously. >> All righty. Oh, I thought Cooper and Boss were heading out to the six out of six sites that Cooper owns with Galino, not the damaged rig in the Gulf. >> That's right. That's right. James had a comment there um on YouTube. That's right. Cooper and Boss are working on those um sites that Cooper founded. They're not involved with the golf with the rig on the golf. If I if I said otherwise, that was a a mis mischaracterization. Good point there. >> Let's get into what is this week's trivia and that can be found at staff or that can be sent in at staff@tasteofcountry.com. >> Yep, we do it every week. um that we take one correct answer from all correct answers at that email address in addition to people who put a comment under this video uh after the podcast, the live podcast wraps. So, not just putting the answer in the live stream. In fact, some people get a little bit annoyed if you put it in the live stream, but you got to comment underneath the video to be eligible for the prize, which as always is one of our great Dutton Rules t-shirts found at tasteofcountrytore.com. Um, Mike, who we haven't heard from this week. He was the winner a couple of weeks ago. Last week we didn't have a winner. But, um, a new trivia question this week, and I think it might be the easiest one yet. Addison, you tell me. Short and sweet. TL's physical therapist has a very, very unique vanity license plate. What is it? Correct. Spelling only. >> That is good. Only because they quite literally did a tight shot as the black car was coming in. Yeah. And they said it. Um I think Angela says one of them says it. >> So it should be a we should get a win. I felt bad that we didn't have a winner last week. So we'll give a winner. Stafftasteofcountry.com is that email address. Once again, that's also the place if you have other questions, comments, theories, or just want to talk about um Landman or some of these other great shows. Um it's kind of what we do here. So we we enjoy doing that. The Q&A for this week, we're starting out with Lance on YouTube who says, "I miss all." Oh, Billy loves throwing that in. He just You You love not telling me. And then boom. What's the breaking news? >> Breaking news? About as breaking as all of our news is here on the podcast. Mayor of Kingtown from Taylor Sheridan is going to wrap up after season five. Just finished season 4. We're going to have one more eight episode season. I watched a little bit of Mayor of Kingtown for the first time and I'm kind of into it. I might just kind of binge it over the next few months. Likely in the next 12 to 18 months is when that will premiere. But it's one of those Taylor Sheridan shows now. And keep in mind he's going to a new network >> in 2028 I think it is. and he can't take these shows with him. I'm wondering, I mean, he's certainly tying a bow on that one. How many of these shows will sort of get wrapped up before he leaves, even though Paramount Plus will still get to keep the rights, >> right? That's funny. Um, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I was looking at. Billy, I thought I open >> Go for it. >> Johnny says, "I thought I opened a pop-up by accident when the music hit." Nope. Nope. It's just me. Sorry, guys. >> That's so fair. if it makes you feel any better. I also was thrown off guard. Alrighty, with no more scares left in the tank, uh Lance on YouTube says, "This is our Q&A says, "I miss all the cartel action." I don't think I >> You do? >> You do? I do. >> I don't. >> You don't. Ah, like I could do away with all the slapping and hitting and putting bags over your faces. Like >> I'm good. But that's always >> I like the violence. Maybe a little bit. Maybe it was a little heavy at times, but I would take just like a little smidge of that. You know what I mean? >> Okay. I don't >> Maybe I'm an alcoholic looking for a drink, I guess. But >> I'm with you, Lance. I'm with you. >> Rick Johnson on YouTube says, "Taylor Sheridan is great at building storylines and subplots. What he's notorious for is the inability to keep a story going. Proof is on Yellowstone, 1883, 1923, and now Landman. Massive gunplay is coming. Kill off everything. Everyone, even the dog Taylor does it every time. >> I think that's not inaccurate, but it's a little bit unfair. And here's why. First of all, 1883 did not suffer from that problem. I thought 1883 was well done. Um 1923 suffered from him agreeing to a second season. I thought maybe just a longer first season would have been enough. >> There was so many obstacles for Yellowstone that he had to kind of navigate around. Network drama, COVID, Kevin Cosman drama. >> Like I don't know if we can sort of put that on him >> completely. But sometimes to Rick's right to Rick's point like Taylor doesn't always land the ship, but I think he has in certain shows. Lionist so far has been very I think Mayor Kingtown has as has it's gotten deeper into the seasons has been um been strong. Um certainly 1883 and then Tulsa King I guess we'll see. >> We're still only a couple episodes into season 3 of that show, but >> yeah, I'm not sure. >> Karen from our emails says, "This might be my favorite episode. My favorite overall theme through this episode is Tommy's compassion to everyone. His compassion to his father and getting him a physical therapist that will fit in TL's world. His compassion to Cammy when she breaks down and tells him the story from lunch that she just wants to keep her business or and that she just wants to keep her business. His compassion for Rebecca when she admits that what Charlie told her even though it hurts so deep was the truth. >> I agree. Karen emailed and said this was her favorite episode of of Land Man so far for those reasons. And this goes to what we were just talking about. >> I I I tend to agree with all the points. I think um Tommy's compassion is hopefully here to stay. You know, hopefully it's not just setting us up for another twist of the knife in these last two episodes. Um but it makes a lot of things on this show work. >> I agree with that. Don't forget stafftastecountry.com is where you can leave comments or on the comment section of our YouTube video.

As Addison sort of scrambles to come up with her word of the week to close the show, I'm going to list off many of the great songs in a songheavy episode of Land Man. Episode 8 featured Red Shahan. A song so new Shazam didn't even know how to find it. It's called Cottonfire. That was at the very beginning. Uh, Sweet Caroline, of course, was when they're on the way to the casino. Honky Tonk Hall of Fame by George Strait and Chris Stapleton as Margaret was getting a makeover. We didn't really talk about that, but I thought that scene was kind of cute. >> I love it. got a little nervous that her husband was going to have like a bad reaction and think who you been hanging out with woman and one of those things, but I liked that he was into it. >> I liked it. That was fun. I cannot believe I forgot about that. >> Yeah, get you some, girl. Roadrunner by Laney Wilson uh was in the song. Ashlin Crafts Last $20 was played at the casino. So much good music at the casino, including Nikki Lane's jackpot. Better be tough by Ella Langley is as TL's physical therapist arrives. Vincent Neil Emerson's The Great Highway, another new song was towards the end of the episode. And then Coulter Walls, the last loving words was at the very end as Cheyenne is cradling TL like a little baby boy just sort of >> gliding him through the water as his hair flowed naturally on the surf. >> That would have been if I were Sam Elliot, that would have been my favorite scene. You're getting paid to just float in the water like this. So nice. How about Franciscoca Zurb or however you say her name getting to go home. Guess what I did today, Mom? >> I cradled Sam Elliot in a swimming pool for eight straight hours. Like that. I want to talk to that actress just to ask about that. Like what it was like to hold Sam Elliott like like a child. >> Like a literal child in a pool for multiple takes. >> Oh man. Johnny Johnny says, "I need a Twitter gif of Cheyenne cradling TL." Yes, we all do. >> Yes. >> Well, y'all, the Dutton Rolls Yellowstone franchise podcast is another communityoriented Town Square Media podcast. >> Thanks for watching. >> Bye y'all. See? See?
