[Music] Level one, >> daddy. >> Well, I had to ask, >> of course. >> And that's what I get for asking. >> That is Aninsley Norris talking to her father, Tommy Norris, during season 1 of Land Man. And we'll get to her rule in just a few seconds. Heck, here it is. >> As long as he never in me, she can anywhere on me. >> Nope. This is not one of those land man videos that promises something but either never delivers or makes you wait 12 minutes. If you've subscribed to this channel, you know we don't do clickbait video thumbnails like this, this, and this. Actress Michelle Randolph does not talk like that. Talking Taste of Country, she said, quote, "I couldn't have that conversation, but it wasn't me having that conversation. Any having it is different, but what about her onscreen mom, Angela? >> How do I go home to this?" >> No woman who can do the splits is to be trusted. Well, I can do the splits except you. >> That's on the way. And it's fascinating, if more than a little provocative. If you're an Angela fan, please do not use the time codes to skip ahead. Dang it. Level 10. >> As the levels get higher, the stories get wilder. And don't worry, we'll do a full season 2 preview when there's enough information to make it worth it. Actually, level 100 is going to zoom right in on Sam Elliot's character and how he relates to Billy Bob Thornton's Tommy Norris. Paramount kind of spilled the beans here, but I'm not sure that many people caught it. We were talking about Michelle Randolph, so we'll park there for just a few seconds. She plays a 17-year-old high school senior who during season 2 is going to begin the college application process. Her boyfriend is this hunk. >> He's got an ass like a couple of feet buckets. His name is Ryder Samson. And before you judge their intentions, try to remember what it was like as a teenager trying to sneak off at any chance he got. >> Where you all headed tonight? >> Um, Bible study, sir. >> Ah, heck, I'm 46. Not much has changed. In real life, Michelle is nowhere near 17. In fact, she's 28 and her onscreen boyfriend is 30. 30. Mitchell Slagger doesn't have a long film resume, but he was once a Calvin Klein underwear model. So, if you'd like to further investigate Ethel's claims about the feed buckets, there's likely to be plenty of photos online. Level 20. Shelby lives next door to the Norrises. The weird thing about any Taylor Sheridan show is all the nepotism. We saw it on Yellowstone when director Steven Kay's wife, Piper Parabbo, was cast as Summer Haggins and his daughter was cast as John Dutton's assistant. Shelby is Audrey McGrath, daughter to Tim McGrath and Faith Hill, who starred in Yellowstone prequel 1883. I'm not mad about all of this because it's nice to see some new faces on television. In a second, you'll see how Taylor has actually been very, very good to country music for this show. Level 30. I literally meant one second because of this guy. >> For God's sakes, Tommy, >> the FAA was aware they dropped the ball. Just use the date that I gave them and match it. I >> ain't backdating nothing. >> That's Sheriff Walt Joberg, played by Mark Ci. And while I go searching for our conversation with Mark, enjoy 8 seconds of his most well-known country hit. >> I feel like the love of my life is dying. Even the man in the moon is crying. >> I won't spoil too much, but the way season 1 ended will allow for Mark to be back, which is good news. I think we asked him about the experience and he joked that what I tell you what I take from the tent is a sore back, sore legs, and a lot of dust. take it home with me every night. You know, >> level 40. Ellie Larder plays Angela. And if you ask me, the development of her character has been most enjoyable. At first, she's just a very ex-wifey kind of ex-wife, but later she shows some real depth. >> Mom, >> I'm here, baby. >> We know that, honey. >> I'm going to be right outside, baby. Okay. >> Angela is the show's mustwatch character, and Ally Lauder has always kind of been just that as an actor. In 2009, Ali Larder fought Beyonce in a film called Obsessed. So, so movie, Pretty Epic Battle. Most famous is this scene from Varsity Blues. >> Come here. >> Did you know that in actuality that wasn't whipped cream? They had to use shaving cream because whipped cream melts and drips. Hey, I'm nothing if not a thorough researcher. Angela was frequently in a state of undressed during season 1. And that theme looks to roll into season 2. Here she is sharing a bikini pick, plus all the ways she stays in tip-top shape. Funny part is Ally says she's not that person in real life. Well, not totally. Anyways, she's super confident and not really all that shy about her sexuality, but she's also a mother of two. She also loves that Taylor Sheridan has written this kind of role for an older woman who's pushing 50 in real life. Level 50. I'll make this one quick because while interesting, it's not going to change the way you watch Lamb Man. Actor James Jordan plays Dale Bradley. He also plays Two Cups and Lionus. Ed and Mayor of Kingtown. Cookie in Yellowstone prequel 1883. And livestock agent Henden in Yellowstone. And Taylor Sheridan just loves this guy. Level 60. >> And so when I got to Cowboys, I got it so that we could all work together. I thought I was doing it for them, but the one that got the most out of it was me. >> Jerry Jones gave a really emotional monologue during episode 9 of season 1 of Land Man. And in my opinion, we don't talk enough about this. I came away from this episode with a totally different take on Jerry, who I just kind of always thought of as this brash old-timer who owns that football team I don't care for that much. The thing is, not only was this speech mostly unscripted, it was told spontaneously in a single take. Per Collider, Taylor Sheridan wrote down a few notes, but told Jerry to just tell his life story, and he did. Everyone on set was so wrapped up in it, and it's easy to see why. I linked to the full speech in the description section below. Probably watched it like five times already. >> So, when that time comes like this, you're not wishing you'd spend a little more time seeing a few more sons come up. That's the trick. >> Level 70. >> Land Man begins with Billy Bob Thornton's head in a sack and it mostly ends the same way. Yes, that really was him during both scenes. Billy did all of his own stunts which left him exhausted. >> I think you >> if you recall, Tommy survives this beating when the cartel leader played by Andy Garcia comes and guns down Jimenez and his men. That should set up a lot of tension for season 2 because Garcia is back and he's bringing family. Level 80. Two more after this, including the origin story of Land Man's most risque scene and a sneak peek of Sam Elliot on set with Billy Bob Thornton. I really do think we can guess whose side he's going to be on after this. But first, country music fans probably remember this video. >> Perfect guy. Well, somebody who can put up with me. >> It's the music video for Eric Church's Springsteen. And on a whim one day, I decided to find out who that girl was. Her name is Kelsey Purbilski, and during episode 10, she played Jasmine. I think this is her. >> First time can be pretty nerve-wracking, but after that, it can be really fun. >> Level 90. That leads nicely to a scene that I think went a little too far. I mean, I don't have an issue with adult clubs on cinema, but I thought the idea of minors stripping for senior citizens was dangerous. But I'm going to step off my soap box now. It turns out this scene was inspired by Taylor Sheridan's wife. You see, Nicole Sheridan does host events for men and women living in senior citizen homes. Talking to the Hollywood Reporter, Ellie Larder said that, quote, "Nicole plays games and sets up a bar forum. Nicole has really opened up this world of the way that we can see senior citizens, how we treat them and have fun with them, and how little effort it takes to bring so much happiness to someone's life. I was a little skeptical of all this until I went to Nicole Sheridan's Instagram page, and I'll be damned. Shout out to this woman in a t-shirt that I think we've all felt before. >> Level 100. Last one. But before you go, let me know if you'd be here for extended conversations and video podcasts about Land Man. My Dutton Rules co-host, Addison Hager, and I have been breaking down the Yellowstone universe for years, and we'll expand if you're up for it. Do that subscribe and bell thing that people are always begging you for. We specialize in tiny details and bold predictions, and we tend to notice things before anybody else. To that point, this picture, Angela, Sam, and Anley on set, is that Tommy's home they're at? I think so. More preient is this video which I'm going to put on a loop so that you get a good look. Sam is driving with Tommy because they're family on Landman. Sam Elliot is going to play TL. Paramount was kind enough to forward us these pictures of him, but I thought two scenes from the trailer were much more interesting. First, this one. >> So, just another day. Just another day, Pop. The second clip is real quick and I'll play it for you. But actually, let me just freeze in the important shot. He's just punched a pretty helpless looking dude at a sporting event, which kind of makes me think drinking problem, but I'm going to wait to make a full prediction. I'm Billy Dukes for Taste of Country. Thanks for watching and thanks for subscribing.
