WEBVTT - The Secrets Behind the Stunts

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Hey, everyone, Welcome back to the Official Yellowstone Podcast. I'm

0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Jen Landon and I am joined by my podcast partner

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and fellow Yellowstone cowboy, mister Jefferson White.

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.439
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Jen, it's an incredible gift to be here with you.

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.279
<v Speaker 2>As always, we've got a very, very fun show on

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 2>tap for you today. We feel incredibly lucky to have

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 2>with us the stunt coordinator of Yellowstone. He's been with

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 2>us since the very beginning. We've got Jason Rodriguez, Jay

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Rod the legend himself. I hate to say it before

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:41.879
<v Speaker 2>we start, I'm gonna have to run into the other room.

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have to grab a cup of coffee, and

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 2>then I'm gonna be right back. So hang tight, we're

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna dive right in.

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Jeff, do you have your coffee?

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Thank you for your patience with me. I had

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 2>a late night. Yeah, it was a late night. I

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>stayed up late to watch the return of nineteen twenty three.

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't wait. It was one of those funny moments where

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>me and my fiance are sitting there and it's this

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 2>moment of like a fuck, we really should go to bed,

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.960
<v Speaker 2>but I couldn't. I couldn't sleep. I knew I wasn't

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 2>going to be able to sleep until I watched it.

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean? Like, I have this thing

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 2>where if other people have seen it and I haven't,

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 2>I can't.

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Isn't there a word for that that the young people use?

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Or it's like a what is it?

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Fomo fomo?

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 1>Fear of missing out?

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:36.479
<v Speaker 2>Fear of missing out?

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't catch twenty three last night, but I was

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>up really late doing something oddly Yellowstone related, which was

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I drank too much coffee and then drank a monster

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>energy and then decided that I had never listened to

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the anthology of Yellowstone Music on Spotify whoa, and then

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>proceeded to do that until two thirty in the morning.

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>And then after I finished listening, I impulse spot a

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>pair of sneakers.

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 2>How'd you wind up with sneakers? It wasn't even cowboy

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>boots after all that. That's one of these funny things

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 2>you work on a show like this, you wind up

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 2>with way more pairs of cowboy boots than you could

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 2>ever use. I don't know how to say. I can't.

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.799
<v Speaker 2>I went through a real phase early in Yellowstone, and

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 2>now I probably have like nine pairs of boots just

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 2>taking up my very limited space in my tiny little

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Brooklyn apartment.

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I know that you have recently moved, but I saw

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>your last place. Then I do have to say that

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the boots seem to take up an insane amount of

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>space and.

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>It's mostly boots. Yeah, my apartment is mostly boots and hats. Yeah,

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 2>well this is the thing. This is why you got

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 2>to have a ranch. If you're a cowboy. You got

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 2>to have a ranch because you need space to put

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 2>your your boots, your hats, your spurs, your various pairaphernalia.

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 2>It does not This is why it's hard to be

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 2>a Brooklyn cowboys that most of my apartment is taken

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:58.359
<v Speaker 2>up by hat boxes.

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 1>I've got to say, it's hard to just fly with

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>only a carry on as a cowboy.

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 2>What do you do with the hat is?

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 3>What do you do?

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>The spurs are considered a weapon potentially, and for anybody

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>who you know, buys, you know, or you're gifted some

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>custom spurs, that is not something that you want to

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>have taken away from you.

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, those are precious, they're they're an incredibly expensive, tiny

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>little piece of metal that it's hard to travel with

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>all this stuff, which I guess is why these guys.

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, when we talked to mobrings plenty last week,

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>he was driving across the entire country. I guess that's

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 2>why cowboys end up spending a lot of time driving

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>horse trailers.

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Huh yeah, I mean I would. I find myself driving

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>to Texas half the time now, even if it's for

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>a couple of days. I just I get in the

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>car flying.

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a really that's a romantic image, you know,

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 2>barreling across the American Southwest, nothing but your spurs and

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>your hat. Well, it's it's funny you should mention, you know,

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>the difficulty of flying with spurs that might be perceived

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 2>as weapons, because this week we're talking about fights. And

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 2>forgive me out there if you're already familiar with this

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 2>phenomenon the world of stunts, there's some specific compartmentalization. So

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 2>stunts encompasses a lot of different things if you think

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 2>about it. Some TV shows are all about gun fights,

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 2>some are all about car crashes. Some are all about helicopters, planes, tanks,

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:32.039
<v Speaker 2>military style stunts. Yellowstone really runs the gamut. We've got gunfights,

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.280
<v Speaker 2>we've got car crashes. Sometimes in the same sequence, we've

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 2>got gunfights, car crashes, horse races, lassowing, rodeo. If you

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>think about the history of Hollywood, ye, Westerns are a

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>huge part of the origins of stunt technology, right like

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 2>early blockbuster movies. A lot of that is these iconic

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 2>American Westerns, and from the very beginning that involves falling

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 2>off of horses, jumping from horse to horse, getting shot.

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:03.160
<v Speaker 2>So a lot of the the you know, tradition and

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 2>origins of stunt work and filmmaking stunts also dovetails with

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>the Western world with riding and rodeoing and roping.

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 3>You know what.

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>That made me just think we've been fortunate enough to

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>have people on Yellowstone who actually were some of those

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>stunt people at the very beginning of the Western TV

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 1>film I'm forgetting his last name, but Boots for example,

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>who I believe he got killed in season four.

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they invented a lot of this stuff. It's pretty amazing.

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Like one of the cool things about filmmaking is it's

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 2>this constant problem solving, and that's also true of ranching.

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 2>That's also true of the sort of cowboy world you

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.719
<v Speaker 2>got to. Every day is a new day and a

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 2>new challenge and you've got to invent the processes by

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.359
<v Speaker 2>which you solve those problems and surmount those challenges. So

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the guys working on Yellowstone and sort

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 2>of around Yellowstone and in this world invented a lot

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.799
<v Speaker 2>of the techniques that the rest of you know, Western

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 2>filmmaking has employed for a long time. It's so cool

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.679
<v Speaker 2>and learning from them has been such a remarkable gift.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of stunts, listen, we can talk about this shit

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.720
<v Speaker 2>all day long. Luckily we've got a real expert to

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 2>inform us about it a little later. Can't wait to

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 2>talk to Jay Rod. But in the meantime, Jens, let's

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 2>dive into some of our favorite Yellowstone action sequences. Just now,

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 2>we've been talking about gunfights, car crashes, horsework. Let's dig

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:37.360
<v Speaker 2>into all of it. What's your favorite walk me through them?

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Putting you on the.

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Spot, Jeff, I'm actually not one hundred percent sure what

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>my favorite action sequences are, and I would like hard

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>to pick. I would let yes there, it's incredibly hard

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 1>to pick. Also because my coffee hasn't said in completely,

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>So I would sort of love if you answered that

0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>question first to get my brain working this morning.

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh don't worry. I'm buzzing. I'm going to talk for

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 2>way too fucking long. We've been talking about the like

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 2>incredible variety and versatility of our stunt performers and our

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 2>stunt teams. One of my favorite stunts on Yellowstone that

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I think a company like encompasses a lot of that

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:16.559
<v Speaker 2>is there's a sequence in I want to say season three,

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe season two, where Casey ropes a guy out of

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 2>a truck, which is like, yeah, when you really think

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>about what that involves, it's crazy. So we're talking about

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 2>a stunt performer, probably Jordan Warick, if I was gonna guess,

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 2>we all endeavor to do as much and as many

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 2>of our stunts as is safe and responsible, but we

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 2>also all know we're all smart enough to know when

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 2>to tap out and also just for the sake of,

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, safety, and for the sake of letting the

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 2>experts do their job. So I think that's Jordan Warick

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>in that sequence, who's also been with us since the

0:07:55.800 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 2>very beginning of Yellowstone, literally tossing a lasso into the

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 2>cab of a truck and pulling. I think he pulls

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the guy out of the window. And when you think

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 2>about like how many disciplines are involved in that, how

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 2>many complicated factors are colliding or you know, God willing

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 2>not colliding in this case. I just think that's a

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 2>remarkably impressive thing. So I love that sequence.

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I say this often, but when we were at the Sagawards,

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>for example, and we were nominated for Best Ensemble, and

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 1>they always play the clip, you know, before they announce

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 1>who wins, so much of our clip was actually filled

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.959
<v Speaker 1>with stunt performers. Yeah, because so much of it was

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:46.199
<v Speaker 1>an action sequence, and the people who who double us

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 1>really are half of the performance a lot of the time,

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>because so much of Yellowstone is about making it look authentic.

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.400
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, as the seasons have gone on, we've

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>been able to do more and more of our of

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>our own stuff, but they help sort of raft what everybody,

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.440
<v Speaker 1>what everybody sees at home. They are in ways half

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 1>that performance absolutely.

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean I love to say about my stunt double,

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Roberts, that he's played Jimmy for as long as

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.360
<v Speaker 2>I have, because my first day on set was the

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 2>sequence in season one where Jimmy gets duct taped to

0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 2>a bucking horse and Bobby was there, and Bobby did

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.079
<v Speaker 2>that sequence. You know, so me and Bobby our first

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.079
<v Speaker 2>day was the same day. So he's played Jimmy as

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 2>long as I have and some of our performers. I mean,

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 2>it's amazing. A guy like Jordan Warwick has doubled pretty

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 2>much everybody on the show. Whenever they need to tag

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 2>in a bad man to do an incredibly difficult task

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 2>on the back of a horse, they go to Jordan

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Warwick and he doesn't.

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, my favorite I don't know if I've said

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 1>this ready on the show, but one of my favorite

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Bobby Roberts stories is that, besides doubling you, Beth falls

0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>off a horse. I think in season one, the gal

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>who doubles me, Lindy Gorham, was doing that stunt. She

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 1>fell off the horse. Her hand got broken that day

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.079
<v Speaker 1>the horse stepped on it. She had to go to

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the emergency room. They needed to get the shot off,

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and they're looking around at a group of people and

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:21.559
<v Speaker 1>the person who is most height and coloring appropriate is

0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Bobby Roberts. So when Beth falls off the horse, I

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.680
<v Speaker 1>forget in whatever season that is, that is the same

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:29.839
<v Speaker 1>person who doubles Jeff.

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 2>That's amazing. He also doubles Zayin in nineteen twenty three.

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 2>A lot of our stunt team works across all of

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.760
<v Speaker 2>these shows. So Zain in nineteen twenty three is played

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 2>by my dear friend Brian Garritty. We don't look so alike,

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 2>but Bobby manages to look enough like both of us. Luckily,

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to listen to me and Jen, you

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 2>know in awe over this talking about some of our

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>personal heroes. We've got one of our personal heroes here

0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 2>with us right now, right after they break. We feel

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 2>so lucky to have with us today, a guy who

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:21.200
<v Speaker 2>is as much responsible for bringing you Yellowstone as anyone else.

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 2>He's been on this thing since the beginning. He's been

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 2>dealing with me and Jen's incompetence since the beginning, making

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 2>sure we're safe, taking care of us. We feel so

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.120
<v Speaker 2>blessed to have with us today. Jason Rodriguez, Jay Rod,

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 2>thanks for being here.

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 3>Jay Rod, Hey, good to see you guys. Jeff, Jen

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 3>thanks for having me.

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Jared, thank you so much for being with us today.

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Where in the world are you What are you doing?

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 3>I am in weather for Texas right now, and I'm

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 3>directing second unit on Civil War sequence for Bass Reeves,

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 3>the new TV show that One on One Studio is producing.

0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 2>So we've heard whispers about Bass Reeves. I'm sort of

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 2>as a huge fan of Tailor's, as a huge fan

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 2>of this world, as a huge fan of yours specifically,

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.559
<v Speaker 2>what can you tell us? I think our whole audience

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 2>is out here eager for any tidbits you can give us.

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, I can only tell you just the overall show

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 3>is about the real life ranger Bass Reeves, who was

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 3>a sheriff in the Oklahoma territories in the late eighteen hundreds,

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 3>and he's credited with being like the inspiration for the

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 3>lone ranger that we all know on television, and that's

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 3>kind of what I know about the story. I'm kind

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 3>of coming in just to do a specific sequence that's

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.800
<v Speaker 3>a civil war that kind of opens up where Bass

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.040
<v Speaker 3>came from, where we find Bass and stuff.

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 2>This is fascinating because you know, viewers of Yellowstone, people

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 2>who've maybe seen eighteen eighty three, seen nineteen twenty three,

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 2>are starting to get a sense of how diverse your

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 2>skill set is. So in for instance, season four, episode

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.560
<v Speaker 2>one of Yellowstone, we've got Casey with the assault rifle

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 2>smashing an suv into a panel van and now you're

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 2>describing to us shooting a civil war sequence for bass Reeves.

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 2>So will you talk about you know, what's the same,

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:31.199
<v Speaker 2>what's different?

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, I I've been doing this for thirty years, Jeff, So,

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I know I look much younger than that, but.

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>You really do I want people.

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 3>But I've been around man, Yeah, and so so I've

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 3>gathered you know, all these all those different skill sets

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 3>of you know, being a stuntman and stunt coordinator, so

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 3>I can coordinate not just westerns h you know, uh,

0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 3>driving sequences, gunfights and like that. Which, by the way,

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 3>that the episode one, that gunfight was one of my

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 3>favorite still sequences to do of all a Yellowstone that

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.960
<v Speaker 3>we've done. It was really fun. And then just this

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 3>last season the uh the when they were trying to

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 3>steal the wild horses in Casey and his crew come

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 3>over with the helicopter and all the horses charging through there,

0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:28.120
<v Speaker 3>that was that was an amazing experience too. It was

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.280
<v Speaker 3>it was fun. And that's what I love about Yellowstone

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 3>is we do everything pretty much for real and real

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 3>time and not a lot of not a lot of

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, trickery and and we get the we

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 3>get the stuff, you know, real and gritty and and

0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 3>how we're feeling, you know, how how it's scripted.

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 2>There's only so much you can fake, right. That's what

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm always amazed with on the show is like, you know,

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 2>you use movie magic where you can you fake it sometimes,

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 2>but on Yellowston, but it does seem like we come

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 2>across a lot of sequences where, ah, shit, the best

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 2>way to do this is to just do it. And

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking perhaps a little bit about the Cowboy Poker sequence.

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember this? I think it's season two, episode one.

0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Will you talk about that a little?

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? That was those were that was an interesting time

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 3>when Taylor wrote that, the producers at the time came

0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 3>to be and goes, so, how are we gonna do this,

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, and guarantee the safety of everybody involved? And

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, well, we really can't. I mean, We're just

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.560
<v Speaker 3>gonna We're just gonna see what happens. And I'll hire

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:41.240
<v Speaker 3>the doubles for the actors that they'll all be familiar

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.120
<v Speaker 3>with bulls and bull riding and bull fighting. I had

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 3>two really good bullfighters there, one in wardrobe, one standing

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 3>to the side. And then the girl that took the

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 3>hit from the bull was Duke Wemberley, who I originally

0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 3>used in season one to ride a bucking horse, and

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:04.600
<v Speaker 3>I brought her back to double that girl that gets hit,

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 3>and Taylor, right before we went was said, hey, look,

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't need anybody to get you know, just cream

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.840
<v Speaker 3>by this bull. You know, we'll just you just do it.

0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 3>We'll play it for real and then when whenever it's done,

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.480
<v Speaker 3>then I'll just rewrite whatever and build We'll make the

0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.440
<v Speaker 3>story work around it. And I said, okay, So I

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 3>get the stuntcirt the stunt people together and I tell

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 3>them all that, and Duke looks me right in the

0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 3>face and goes, no, it says in the script that

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.040
<v Speaker 3>the girl gets run over. And I go, I know

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.720
<v Speaker 3>it says that, but I'm telling you that whatever happens,

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 3>it's going to be great. She goes, nah, I'm gonna

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 3>let her. I'm gonna let it hit me. So so

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.320
<v Speaker 3>I said, okay, fine, just do whatever you want. I

0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 3>don't care, like you know, don't die. So she went out.

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 3>So she she sat there teeth gritted the entire time,

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 3>head down, back to the bull, and he came and

0:16:56.320 --> 0:17:00.280
<v Speaker 3>made a bee line for and ran the absolute length

0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:05.080
<v Speaker 3>ever and she she got up, ran to the fence.

0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Everything was fine and we got a really good sequence

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:08.879
<v Speaker 3>out of it. But that's kind of how we do

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 3>stuff on this show, you know. It's just kind of like, uh,

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 3>they look at me, how are we gonna do it?

0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 3>And I guess we're just gonna do it for real

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 3>and see what happens.

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:24.199
<v Speaker 2>It's so funny. I'm reminded of when John Dutton turns

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 2>to Rip, you know, they're they're they're trying to gas

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.639
<v Speaker 2>up a bunch of wild horses, goes, hey, what's the

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:32.760
<v Speaker 2>plan here? And Rip goes, you know, Sarah, I figured

0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 2>just kind of fuck.

0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:38.520
<v Speaker 3>It, you know, Yeah, yeah, yeah, we had. That's kind

0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.639
<v Speaker 3>of the attitude. Christian and Boris and I have this

0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:42.919
<v Speaker 3>kind of inside joke where we'll set these things up

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 3>and then the helicopter will come up over the hill

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:46.959
<v Speaker 3>and the guys will be charging after the loose horses,

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 3>and then the thieves will do this and we'll circle

0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.520
<v Speaker 3>them around and we'll jump into the water and then

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.919
<v Speaker 3>we both look at each other and go all right, ready, yeah, no,

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:57.040
<v Speaker 3>it'll never work. It's gonna be great. And and then

0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.239
<v Speaker 3>and that's kind of our like our good became our

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 3>good luck charm. Now we always just every time we're

0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.479
<v Speaker 3>going to do something big and wild like that, she

0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.119
<v Speaker 3>and I'll just look at each other and go, it'll

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:10.199
<v Speaker 3>never work. And then and then it invariably does, because

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 3>the quality of the cowboys and stuff and the stunt

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:16.119
<v Speaker 3>guys that I hire always pull it off and it

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:17.560
<v Speaker 3>goes great.

0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.199
<v Speaker 1>So, Jay Red, I don't know if you know this,

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 1>but when Taylor called me to talk to me about

0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Teeter and sort of the inspiration for Teter, Teter was

0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 1>based on somebody that he knew growing up, and Duke Wimberly, Yeah,

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 1>that was the sort of hybrid because what she did

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 1>that day was crazy.

0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:44.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Duke Duke talks a lot like Teeter. She's very

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:50.080
<v Speaker 3>very Texas very. Oh, she's great. She's she has the

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:55.680
<v Speaker 3>she has the funniest like cowboy colocalisms I've ever heard

0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:57.240
<v Speaker 3>in my life, and I've heard a lot of them,

0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:01.680
<v Speaker 3>and she's she's just she's fun to talk to. And

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 3>she did a great job with that. And then in

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:08.359
<v Speaker 3>eighteen eighty three, she played the drownding girl pulls faith

0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:13.000
<v Speaker 3>off the horse and tussles with her under the water

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 3>and everything. So we call her in for those kind

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:18.480
<v Speaker 3>of spots.

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I can you talk a little bit? I know this great.

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Can you talk a little bit about how you got

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 1>into stunts and growing up doing rodeo and you know

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.520
<v Speaker 1>your your pops being in rodeo and he gave me

0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>my first roping lesson along with you.

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:42.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's right, Yeah, what about that? Yeah? Well, for

0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.639
<v Speaker 3>just my background is, first, I grew up on a

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 3>I grew up on a im Passer Robles. My family,

0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.920
<v Speaker 3>my grandfather owned a cattle ranch outside of past Robels,

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:55.919
<v Speaker 3>which we still own. My mom and my niece run

0:19:56.000 --> 0:20:01.680
<v Speaker 3>up today. And my grandfather, her on my mother's side,

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.600
<v Speaker 3>is in the Hall of in the Pro Rodeo Hall

0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 3>of Fame, several time world champion. And my dad is

0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.520
<v Speaker 3>also in the Pro Rodio Hall of Fame. He's a

0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 3>several time team rope and world champion and h and yeah,

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:15.720
<v Speaker 3>it's true. I had him out there working on the

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:19.480
<v Speaker 3>show doing a rodeo sequence and Jen was There's when

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:22.679
<v Speaker 3>I first met Jen, and and Jen was learning how

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 3>to rope, and I had her I was kind of

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 3>teaching her, and then I went, wait, I got my

0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:30.320
<v Speaker 3>dad's here, I'll just have him. I'll just have him teacher, yes,

0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 3>so and so he kind of helped out. And then

0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:40.159
<v Speaker 3>so when I got how I got into stunts was

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 3>I moved down to Los Angeles because I was doing

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:50.359
<v Speaker 3>some like local commercials and uh, I was the talent

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:52.960
<v Speaker 3>and a lot of local commercials and stuff. And and

0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 3>I moved down to LA because I just wanted to

0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:59.000
<v Speaker 3>try it in Los Angeles. And I got there, tried

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:00.639
<v Speaker 3>to be an actor for a couple couple of years.

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Didn't really like being broke. It was the same reason

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 3>I quit Rodeo, and because I hated not having money.

0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:11.720
<v Speaker 3>I just hate it. And evidently I don't act very well,

0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 3>so I was not I was doing a lot of

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:17.240
<v Speaker 3>I was doing quite a few commercials. I was doing

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.120
<v Speaker 3>all right and commercials. But anyway, I started doing stunts

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:22.840
<v Speaker 3>on a show called Briscoe County Junior. I doubled Bruce

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Campbell and that's kind of how I got my foot

0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:30.480
<v Speaker 3>in the door as a stuntman. And then about a

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:33.320
<v Speaker 3>year or two later, I went down and worked on

0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:38.040
<v Speaker 3>the Maskazorro not doubling anybody. I was just working as

0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:39.600
<v Speaker 3>a stuntman down there. But I was down there for

0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.879
<v Speaker 3>about six months and met a lot of guys and

0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 3>that kind of kicked my whole career off. After that,

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:49.639
<v Speaker 3>it kind of just took off from there. I was,

0:21:50.880 --> 0:21:53.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, I started working really regularly and had some

0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:56.199
<v Speaker 3>really good people like Chris hal freddie Hies that kind

0:21:56.240 --> 0:22:00.439
<v Speaker 3>of took me under their wing, and the rest is history.

0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Here I am.

0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm always amazed by how it's such a family affair,

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:07.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, and we found that. You know that Yellowstone

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 2>is about family. It's about this sort of generational family.

0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:14.760
<v Speaker 2>You talk about how your father, your grandfather rodeoed, and

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 2>also your family's on set too, right like your your

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 2>family's working alongside you on Yellowstone. I find that to

0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 2>be such a fun and just sort of lovely parallel

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 2>between the rodeo world, the stunts world, our world on

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:29.520
<v Speaker 2>the show.

0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:33.200
<v Speaker 3>That's what I love about Yellowstone, not only the crew

0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 3>and the cast and the store the show. But the

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 3>first season, Wade Allen was the stunt coordinator. He had

0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:45.119
<v Speaker 3>done Wynn River for Taylor, and I was really happy

0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:48.840
<v Speaker 3>that he asked me to come along on the first season,

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 3>and I doubled. Actually, I doubled Casey the first season.

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:56.960
<v Speaker 3>And that's another whole story, because Taylor would always before

0:22:56.960 --> 0:22:59.200
<v Speaker 3>I would do something, Taylor would joke on I think

0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 3>he was joking, mate, he wasn't, but he would get

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:03.840
<v Speaker 3>on the walkie and go all right, ready to go,

0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 3>And hey could tell Jay Rod to look younger and skinnier,

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:08.840
<v Speaker 3>that'd be.

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:16.879
<v Speaker 4>Great, so so so at any rate, But what I

0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:19.680
<v Speaker 4>was saying is when we got when I got that show,

0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:21.240
<v Speaker 4>I was able to take my family with me and

0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:22.800
<v Speaker 4>we packed up every horse.

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:26.120
<v Speaker 3>And dog and everything and just moved it out and

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:29.720
<v Speaker 3>and that was great. And you know, then my wife

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:34.320
<v Speaker 3>started doing stunt. She fell the horse when Gretchen Mall's

0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:40.240
<v Speaker 3>character dies, and she did that. And then she's been

0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:42.720
<v Speaker 3>working on the show, doubled ed and Brolin and doing

0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:45.080
<v Speaker 3>other stuff. And then this year I got to have

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 3>my son Boone out on the set in the branding

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:50.320
<v Speaker 3>sequence in the cattle drive.

0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:52.360
<v Speaker 1>We got to hang out.

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, wrote it. He wants to know when you're gonna

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:56.760
<v Speaker 3>come play Mario Kart again with it.

0:23:56.880 --> 0:23:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I know we have that.

0:23:57.880 --> 0:24:00.840
<v Speaker 1>We have a Boone and his youngest Boone and back

0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 1>er j rod Son's and I play video games with them.

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:09.280
<v Speaker 2>It was Buck born during season one. Jay ride reminds

0:24:09.320 --> 0:24:12.560
<v Speaker 2>me season two, season two, Buck was born, and I

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:14.879
<v Speaker 2>just think it's like, what a beautiful expression of the

0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:18.600
<v Speaker 2>sort of family nature. Yeah, your younger son was born

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:21.280
<v Speaker 2>on Yellowstone season two and now he's along for the

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:22.879
<v Speaker 2>ride the whole way. I just think that's such an

0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:23.600
<v Speaker 2>amazing thing.

0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:27.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, No, it's wonderful. And you know, Taylor's always promoted

0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:31.280
<v Speaker 3>that kind of family atmosphere around there. You know, it's

0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:35.119
<v Speaker 3>it's just been it's been a really it's been a

0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:38.520
<v Speaker 3>great time on so many levels on that show well.

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:40.520
<v Speaker 2>And it's really interesting. I think, you know, people hear

0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:44.560
<v Speaker 2>stunt sequences, there's this idea of this like separation of

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:48.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, the show and then the stunt sequences. But

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:50.679
<v Speaker 2>I think Yellowstone, more than any show I've ever worked on,

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 2>there's this incredible sort of blurring of those boundaries, you know,

0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:58.960
<v Speaker 2>because we have in our cast, we have guys with

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:01.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot of stunt exp experience, and then a lot

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:03.440
<v Speaker 2>of our sort of stunt guys have been there from

0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 2>the very beginning and are as much a part of

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:09.800
<v Speaker 2>playing these characters as anyone. Part of what people respond

0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:15.160
<v Speaker 2>to when they think of Rip is Cole's just big, powerful,

0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:18.520
<v Speaker 2>physical presence. And something that's really fun to think about

0:25:18.560 --> 0:25:21.040
<v Speaker 2>is there have been a lot of different stunt doubles

0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:23.560
<v Speaker 2>who have also played that part over the years, who

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:27.240
<v Speaker 2>have done specific different sequences. Rip has been involved in

0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:31.040
<v Speaker 2>about any kind of stunt you can think of, driving stuff,

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:34.439
<v Speaker 2>gun fights, fist fights, horse stunts, and a lot of

0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:38.399
<v Speaker 2>different guys have stepped into those shoes and contributed to

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:41.800
<v Speaker 2>that character that we all has become this sort of

0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 2>larger than life icon. The same is certainly true for Casey,

0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:49.359
<v Speaker 2>the same is true for Jimmy. More than one person

0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:51.840
<v Speaker 2>has come in and bucked a horse pretending to be

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy to save my little ass from getting broken half.

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 2>And it's just like, it's such a cool sort of

0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:03.159
<v Speaker 2>the community that brings this show to life is big,

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:06.240
<v Speaker 2>and I think that it's really the whole thing is

0:26:06.280 --> 0:26:09.000
<v Speaker 2>impossible without our stunt performers. Part of what people respond

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:12.440
<v Speaker 2>to about Yellowstone is how real it feels, How real

0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:16.040
<v Speaker 2>it feels these exciting sequences. It feels real and those

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:20.679
<v Speaker 2>sequences look good because we have the best stunt performers

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:22.240
<v Speaker 2>and stunt coordinators in the world.

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:24.879
<v Speaker 3>Well thanks but I honestly got to hand it to

0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:28.000
<v Speaker 3>you guys, because you guys have worked so hard to

0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:30.560
<v Speaker 3>do is to get as good as you guys have

0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:33.040
<v Speaker 3>on horses. I mean, we did those branding sequences this

0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:37.600
<v Speaker 3>last season. I think I don't think I used a

0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:41.320
<v Speaker 3>stunt person in any of those to drag calves and

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:44.000
<v Speaker 3>rope and do all that stuff. That was all. That

0:26:44.119 --> 0:26:46.959
<v Speaker 3>was all cast members. You know, everybody was just dragging

0:26:47.000 --> 0:26:49.479
<v Speaker 3>calves and it was it was a really good It

0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:51.120
<v Speaker 3>was a really good time. And I mean, I mean,

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 3>I remember first season when I picked you up, Jeff,

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 3>to take you out to the Cowboy camp in Utah,

0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:58.920
<v Speaker 3>and I asked, I asked, so, so, Jeff, you wrote

0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:03.000
<v Speaker 3>been horses or anything? And Jeff just cheerfully goes, nope,

0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:08.359
<v Speaker 3>my first day. Go all right, cool, No.

0:27:08.480 --> 0:27:10.639
<v Speaker 2>My first rodeo, this is my first rodeo.

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 3>I was not word with Jeff because he's the first

0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:19.520
<v Speaker 3>one to go, hey, Jay Rod, I'm not feeling comfortable

0:27:19.520 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 3>with what I'm doing right now. I'm not feeling I'm like,

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be fine, don't worry about it. It's gonna

0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:25.880
<v Speaker 3>be great. You know, it's gonna be all right. Well,

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:29.160
<v Speaker 3>cape is because I'm not really I'm not super comfortable

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 3>with this, and maybe we could just no, no, no, it's

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:33.360
<v Speaker 3>gonna be great. You're gonna be fine.

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Don't lie, don't lie. You're always telling me. Hey, Jeff,

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 2>this looks a little too extreme. Maybe we should pull

0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:42.600
<v Speaker 2>it back, and I'm saying no, Jay Rod, stand down.

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Tell Bobby to go smoke a cigarette, no problem.

0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, keep my double away from me.

0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:50.560
<v Speaker 2>I do all my Yeah, don't worry about that. Take

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:51.800
<v Speaker 2>a break, Bobby.

0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Jeff, speaking of a break, we gotta take a break.

0:27:57.040 --> 0:28:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I got Jim with the transition. That was incredible. A break.

0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 1>But when we come back, we're going to talk to

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 1>j Rod more about stunts. I'm curious about times you've

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:10.880
<v Speaker 1>actually maybe been afraid on set and how Yellowstone compares

0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:12.719
<v Speaker 1>to other things you've worked on in terms of how

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 1>much we push the envelope. So we'll be right back. Okay,

0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:30.320
<v Speaker 1>welcome back, guys.

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:31.560
<v Speaker 3>One.

0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Jeff, have I told the story before

0:28:33.840 --> 0:28:38.240
<v Speaker 1>about how I cried during the branding sequence. Oh, I'm

0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 1>not sure if I told you what boring? We don't

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 1>have to tell, but I call it my There's no

0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:44.000
<v Speaker 1>crying in baseball moment from a.

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:44.720
<v Speaker 3>League of their own.

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I was supposed to heal during the branding sequence and

0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I only I'd only headed calves before, and uh, I

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:54.480
<v Speaker 1>couldn't do it.

0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:57.120
<v Speaker 2>And I was so mad.

0:28:57.160 --> 0:28:59.720
<v Speaker 1>And we broke for lunch, and jay Rod was like,

0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:02.320
<v Speaker 1>and it's like lunch, you can go, and I'm like, no,

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm good. And I was just like staying on the

0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 1>horse and I kept trying and I kept missing, and

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I knew that if I got off the horse and

0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:12.800
<v Speaker 1>looked jay Rod in the eye, I was going to

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:15.960
<v Speaker 1>start sobbing. So he's just talking to me and I've

0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 1>got my hat down and I'm like shaking my head

0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:20.960
<v Speaker 1>and I look up and I catch eye contact with

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:24.240
<v Speaker 1>him because Jay Rod's a friend, and I start crying

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:27.440
<v Speaker 1>like the girl in a league of their own. And

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't that it was. And here's the thing, Sorry,

0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:34.080
<v Speaker 1>jay Rod, if you have like a real strong masculine

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:36.920
<v Speaker 1>identity you need to uphold instead of pulling a Tom

0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Hanks and being like there's no crying in baseball, jay Rod, like,

0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 1>tear it up a little because he's never seen me.

0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:46.600
<v Speaker 1>He's never seen me, You've probably never seen me cryer

0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:48.760
<v Speaker 1>be upset. I'm sort of like an emotion I don't

0:29:48.760 --> 0:29:51.080
<v Speaker 1>really have emotions, you know, I'm sort of dead inside.

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:53.000
<v Speaker 1>So I think it just caught him off guard.

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:57.920
<v Speaker 3>You're I it did. It really did catch me off guard.

0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:01.160
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, I was told by you to

0:30:01.280 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 3>keep this. I was sworn to secrecy on this, so

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 3>now you're bringing it out into the open.

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:08.720
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, none of.

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, I could, honestly, I could. You are such

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:15.880
<v Speaker 3>a good you are such a friend, and and uh

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:20.280
<v Speaker 3>and I could feel your frustration, and it just it

0:30:20.280 --> 0:30:23.640
<v Speaker 3>it made me, you know, it made me feel bad

0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:26.400
<v Speaker 3>that you were feeling so bad. And yeah, I don't care.

0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm an emotional guy. What the hell, I'm fifty something

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:30.719
<v Speaker 3>years old. I'm going to make any excuses for anything.

0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:33.480
<v Speaker 3>So and it just it moved me that you were

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 3>so passionate and so uh frustrated in the moment, that

0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:41.480
<v Speaker 3>you cared so much that uh, I mean because a

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:43.760
<v Speaker 3>lot of actors would just like miss them and they go, oh,

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:46.160
<v Speaker 3>well that's where my stun double takes me cared and

0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:49.520
<v Speaker 3>they don't care, but you just like wanted to do it,

0:30:49.640 --> 0:30:50.280
<v Speaker 3>so man.

0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:53.360
<v Speaker 1>And then we hung in there and then it worked.

0:30:53.960 --> 0:30:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it worked. You got one and you drug it,

0:30:56.400 --> 0:30:58.520
<v Speaker 3>and I was behind I was behind the I was

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:00.960
<v Speaker 3>behind the monitor with Christina. And when you caught one

0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:03.239
<v Speaker 3>and you're dragging it to the fire, I was like

0:31:03.760 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 3>jumping up and down, like I was so happy for

0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:10.560
<v Speaker 3>you to, you know, have the success that you did,

0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:15.040
<v Speaker 3>and I knew it would turn out good. But yeah,

0:31:15.160 --> 0:31:19.800
<v Speaker 3>it was a definitely a more even a bonding experience

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:22.160
<v Speaker 3>jeh and I.

0:31:22.280 --> 0:31:24.520
<v Speaker 2>See this is funny because when I broke down and cried,

0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:28.960
<v Speaker 2>jay Rod slapped me in the face. He put me

0:31:29.000 --> 0:31:32.800
<v Speaker 2>in a headlock and gave me a nuggie for fifteen

0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:35.280
<v Speaker 2>minutes production. We had to go on a break because

0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:37.719
<v Speaker 2>Jason gave me a nuggie for fifteen minutes.

0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Jay Red, I don't know if you can't answer this question.

0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Have there ever been moments on set like has there

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:48.720
<v Speaker 1>been or is there a distinct moment where you got

0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:51.720
<v Speaker 1>worried where you went where I mean or that might

0:31:51.760 --> 0:31:54.560
<v Speaker 1>just be a permanent state. But have you had moments that,

0:31:54.760 --> 0:31:57.800
<v Speaker 1>again are out of our control because we do take

0:31:57.840 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 1>calculated risk.

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean I can't anytime we do something big

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 3>like that. There's a sequence where he chased buffalo at night,

0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:13.920
<v Speaker 3>and that that sequence worried me just because it was

0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 3>night through this pasture and we couldn't you know, the

0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:20.240
<v Speaker 3>devils are chasing this buffalo and they run fast. I mean,

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:22.800
<v Speaker 3>when you're chasing a buffalo, you're it. You're going as

0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:25.920
<v Speaker 3>fast as your horse can pack you. And that kind

0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:30.840
<v Speaker 3>of made me that that made me nervous. The the again,

0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 3>the wild horse sequence that we did this season always

0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:40.840
<v Speaker 3>kind of makes me nervous. I always have a Jordan

0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:43.120
<v Speaker 3>work my right hand man, and he's out here running,

0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 3>coordinating fasters and doing a really great job. I always

0:32:46.400 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 3>tell him I will always look at him sometimes when

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:51.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm nervous and I'll go, here's where I see my

0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:55.560
<v Speaker 3>career flash before my eyes, and he always look at

0:32:55.560 --> 0:33:00.720
<v Speaker 3>me and go I hate it when you say that.

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:05.000
<v Speaker 1>For people who don't know about horses and the things

0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:07.280
<v Speaker 1>involved with that. Like one of the things that I've

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.920
<v Speaker 1>come to have my own healthy fear about that I

0:33:09.960 --> 0:33:12.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't have before, And what has often felt to me

0:33:12.640 --> 0:33:15.760
<v Speaker 1>to be the most dangerous part of the show is running.

0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Is even just loping a horse through a field that

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:21.640
<v Speaker 1>is thick and brush that has holes that we might

0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:26.320
<v Speaker 1>not see that seems to be the thing that I

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:28.480
<v Speaker 1>always because the rest of it, I feel like we

0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:32.400
<v Speaker 1>can control and choreograph and we obviously check those fields.

0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I mean we check them and do and

0:33:36.560 --> 0:33:39.600
<v Speaker 3>do our due diligence to make it absolutely safe for

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:42.640
<v Speaker 3>the horses and the riders and everything. But still, yeah,

0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:45.520
<v Speaker 3>those are the times. Those are the times that I

0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:50.640
<v Speaker 3>just get a little worried about it. But ultimately I

0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:55.640
<v Speaker 3>trust our prep and I trust our actors and stuntman

0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:58.360
<v Speaker 3>and just kind of don't worry about it.

0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:04.720
<v Speaker 1>My favorite stunt that we did together, j Rod, was

0:34:05.600 --> 0:34:09.400
<v Speaker 1>it'll It'll probably always be the Season three biker sequence.

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I was on cloud nine by the end

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:18.319
<v Speaker 1>of that day. I mean, I was tired. We had

0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 1>done it, yeah, so many times. But that was so fun.

0:34:22.719 --> 0:34:24.319
<v Speaker 1>And I got to work with your brother, who I

0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:28.879
<v Speaker 1>love who uh yeah he looks you guys. He looks

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:33.560
<v Speaker 1>like j Rod, but like parallel universe j Like the

0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:36.000
<v Speaker 1>eyes are the same, but nothing else you got.

0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:41.720
<v Speaker 3>You got to bite him right he did him? Yeah? Yeah,

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:44.759
<v Speaker 3>that's good. Yeah, Yeah, it was fun. That was That

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:47.360
<v Speaker 3>was a fun sequence and Jen. That was Jen's first season,

0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:51.200
<v Speaker 3>so I got her a double I had I had

0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:53.680
<v Speaker 3>a double for her just standing by because I didn't know,

0:34:54.160 --> 0:34:56.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, I didn't know Jen yet and everything and

0:34:56.560 --> 0:35:01.759
<v Speaker 3>those guys and I remember huh, Denn and Ian going, Hey,

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:03.719
<v Speaker 3>where the hell's are double? I go, I know you guys,

0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:08.600
<v Speaker 3>you'll be fine, and he was going, I hate getting

0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:10.919
<v Speaker 3>slammed around and stuff like that, and I go, you'll

0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 3>be fine, suck it up, get in there, and my

0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:15.600
<v Speaker 3>stunt guys beat the hell out of them, and they

0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:18.360
<v Speaker 3>had no doubles of Jens double standing over there. And

0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:20.719
<v Speaker 3>I knew once I got to really know Jen and

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:22.640
<v Speaker 3>I saw her that day, I go, oh, we're gonna

0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:24.480
<v Speaker 3>have to double it for this stuff again, because she

0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:26.839
<v Speaker 3>just loves it and thinks it's the greatest thing ever.

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I get so mad when I don't have enough fight stuff.

0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, no, like this is I live for this.

0:35:33.440 --> 0:35:41.239
<v Speaker 3>You scarcely get into the fighting way too enthusiastically, like

0:35:41.360 --> 0:35:44.200
<v Speaker 3>the bar fight, this secret the bar fights. This year.

0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:48.239
<v Speaker 3>Jen was like she's running around and the rehearsals and

0:35:48.280 --> 0:35:51.240
<v Speaker 3>like as she'd dispatched with her guys, she'd grab somebody

0:35:51.239 --> 0:35:53.200
<v Speaker 3>else on the floor and smack him in the back

0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:56.600
<v Speaker 3>of the head. And I mean she owns it.

0:35:57.760 --> 0:35:59.800
<v Speaker 1>J Rud does. And I want you to lie about

0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:04.759
<v Speaker 1>this if the answer is no, But does Yellowstone push

0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the envelope more than other shows that you've worked on

0:36:09.200 --> 0:36:15.000
<v Speaker 1>in this sort of horse stunt area? Do we do

0:36:15.120 --> 0:36:19.400
<v Speaker 1>more than other people? And if the answer is no,

0:36:19.600 --> 0:36:20.439
<v Speaker 1>I want you to lie.

0:36:20.920 --> 0:36:23.800
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, I don't have to lie. Believe

0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:31.200
<v Speaker 3>this is it's the scripts that Taylor writes require more.

0:36:33.560 --> 0:36:35.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what you want to say balls this book,

0:36:35.640 --> 0:36:39.960
<v Speaker 3>whatever you want to say, yeah, to accomplish the The

0:36:41.360 --> 0:36:43.080
<v Speaker 3>and the thing of it is is it's not like

0:36:43.120 --> 0:36:45.000
<v Speaker 3>when you look at it, it's not like you know,

0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:47.400
<v Speaker 3>you think a huge action stuff. It's like Marvel movies

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:50.800
<v Speaker 3>and you know, Michael Bate and stuff like that. Those stuff.

0:36:50.960 --> 0:36:55.600
<v Speaker 3>That stuff is very rehearsed, very calculated, very you know,

0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:57.719
<v Speaker 3>all the bugs are worked out of that before the

0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:00.319
<v Speaker 3>performers even come on and start to do it. It's

0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:04.799
<v Speaker 3>very specific. Like I said, with our stuff, it's like

0:37:05.480 --> 0:37:09.239
<v Speaker 3>we just we just do it. We just you know,

0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:13.279
<v Speaker 3>throw twenty buffalo in the field and tell the guys

0:37:13.320 --> 0:37:16.920
<v Speaker 3>to go chase them, you know, or we or we

0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:22.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, just all that stuff is you know like

0:37:22.040 --> 0:37:24.880
<v Speaker 3>I said, it's calculated in a way that I know

0:37:24.960 --> 0:37:27.520
<v Speaker 3>the horses, I know the elements, I know everything, and

0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:30.840
<v Speaker 3>I've and I've worked out every possible scenario in my

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:35.000
<v Speaker 3>head of what could possibly go wrong and then eliminated that,

0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:39.320
<v Speaker 3>and so it's it's safe in that regard, But ultimately

0:37:40.200 --> 0:37:43.600
<v Speaker 3>it's uh yeah, I mean when I first started on

0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:46.040
<v Speaker 3>the show, there was a lot of like, we're really

0:37:46.040 --> 0:37:47.880
<v Speaker 3>going to do this, Uh this is you know, And

0:37:47.920 --> 0:37:53.319
<v Speaker 3>now I kind of I kind of just relax into

0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:56.560
<v Speaker 3>it and know that you guys have been trained enough,

0:37:56.600 --> 0:37:58.800
<v Speaker 3>and then the stunt guys that I hire going to

0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:00.759
<v Speaker 3>be perfect and thing is going to be.

0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Great on that friend, Jared, just because you actually are

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:11.560
<v Speaker 1>such a good director, did you pick up or just

0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:17.000
<v Speaker 1>start thinking like a director when you started coordinating stunt

0:38:17.000 --> 0:38:20.279
<v Speaker 1>things and just innately started thinking about it from like

0:38:20.680 --> 0:38:23.920
<v Speaker 1>a camera standpoint, You had to almost think about the

0:38:23.960 --> 0:38:26.480
<v Speaker 1>scene as a whole in order to know like where

0:38:26.520 --> 0:38:28.200
<v Speaker 1>you were going to put things, et cetera.

0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:30.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean that's that's how I like to coordinate,

0:38:31.200 --> 0:38:34.920
<v Speaker 3>and I have that background, and what important to me,

0:38:35.080 --> 0:38:40.200
<v Speaker 3>especially with the Yellowstone, is not only like serving the action,

0:38:40.400 --> 0:38:45.280
<v Speaker 3>but serving the script and the and the the actor

0:38:45.520 --> 0:38:48.920
<v Speaker 3>in their in their character and the progression of whatever

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:51.640
<v Speaker 3>that is. So when even in action sequences, to me,

0:38:51.719 --> 0:38:54.239
<v Speaker 3>it's just an extension of the story. And if you

0:38:54.280 --> 0:38:57.440
<v Speaker 3>don't put the story pieces in or if it rings

0:38:57.480 --> 0:39:02.600
<v Speaker 3>faults with what if it rings faults with the character,

0:39:03.080 --> 0:39:05.640
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't do any good to be the greatest action

0:39:05.800 --> 0:39:09.640
<v Speaker 3>sequence ever and not not push, not move the story forward.

0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:11.680
<v Speaker 3>So I think a lot about that stuff. In fact,

0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:14.399
<v Speaker 3>this season, one of my favorite things that we did

0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 3>was that fight between Beth and Summer because I really

0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:20.800
<v Speaker 3>got We rehearsed it quite a bit, and I really

0:39:20.800 --> 0:39:24.160
<v Speaker 3>got to work with Kelly and Piper and we had

0:39:24.160 --> 0:39:30.200
<v Speaker 3>these really cool talks about character and what Beth would

0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 3>do here and what Summer would do and how, and

0:39:33.560 --> 0:39:37.080
<v Speaker 3>it was really a great I enjoyed it immensely because

0:39:37.080 --> 0:39:40.319
<v Speaker 3>it was this great collaboration of you know, even if

0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:43.480
<v Speaker 3>it was you know, small stuff. When when Rip comes

0:39:43.480 --> 0:39:47.000
<v Speaker 3>out to break the fight up, Kelly goes, I want

0:39:47.040 --> 0:39:49.320
<v Speaker 3>to get off of her, but I think Beth wouldn't

0:39:49.360 --> 0:39:51.560
<v Speaker 3>just like stand up, and I go, well, One really

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:54.360
<v Speaker 3>crappy thing is when you're in mma fight and stuff

0:39:54.360 --> 0:39:56.800
<v Speaker 3>and when the bell rings. I go, you can push

0:39:56.880 --> 0:39:59.880
<v Speaker 3>off of the push your push off the guy like

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:02.839
<v Speaker 3>he's help, Like you're pushing off of him to stand up.

0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:05.439
<v Speaker 3>And she goes, oh that, I go, so why don't

0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:08.600
<v Speaker 3>you just grab Piper's face and just shover her like

0:40:09.800 --> 0:40:13.640
<v Speaker 3>get up using her face to stand up? And Kelly

0:40:13.719 --> 0:40:17.000
<v Speaker 3>was like, oh my god, that's great, and so she

0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:19.000
<v Speaker 3>did it and it was all you know, it's then

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:20.600
<v Speaker 3>it's fun to see it that it worked in the

0:40:20.640 --> 0:40:24.960
<v Speaker 3>final cut and they acted it so well, and I

0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:26.840
<v Speaker 3>mean those girls went at it for two nights, but

0:40:26.960 --> 0:40:29.960
<v Speaker 3>it was but again it was back to it was

0:40:30.000 --> 0:40:32.120
<v Speaker 3>a it was an ability and a scene like that

0:40:32.360 --> 0:40:38.839
<v Speaker 3>to really you really serve their characters, you know, even

0:40:38.880 --> 0:40:41.399
<v Speaker 3>though it's a big action, you know, a big fight.

0:40:42.239 --> 0:40:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I think that really speaks to that that happens throughout

0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:47.120
<v Speaker 2>the series because you know, there are so many bad

0:40:47.120 --> 0:40:49.000
<v Speaker 2>asses on Yellowstone, but they all have a sort of

0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:54.240
<v Speaker 2>distinct personality and that translates into their sort of style

0:40:54.400 --> 0:40:57.400
<v Speaker 2>of violence, you know, which is an interesting thing to

0:40:57.400 --> 0:41:00.400
<v Speaker 2>talk about. But it's like Rip fights different than Casey fights,

0:41:00.440 --> 0:41:04.120
<v Speaker 2>different than Walker fights, different than Bet, And it's so

0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:09.239
<v Speaker 2>cool to see their personalities and the circumstances their characters

0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:13.719
<v Speaker 2>grew up in affect the way they engage in these sequences.

0:41:13.719 --> 0:41:16.239
<v Speaker 2>I think that's part of what's so gratifying about Season four,

0:41:16.280 --> 0:41:19.600
<v Speaker 2>episode one of Yellowstone, when Casey just pops the fuck off,

0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:24.799
<v Speaker 2>because you see the years that he spent engaged in

0:41:24.960 --> 0:41:28.479
<v Speaker 2>special operations exactly, you see it for the first time.

0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:31.600
<v Speaker 2>You see that switch really flip, and he goes into

0:41:31.680 --> 0:41:33.239
<v Speaker 2>a completely different No.

0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:35.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you can absolutely see that he's been shot out

0:41:35.840 --> 0:41:38.399
<v Speaker 3>for real. This isn't the first gunfight he's ever been in,

0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:39.080
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:41:39.160 --> 0:41:41.640
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, and that's so different than like Rip, how

0:41:41.719 --> 0:41:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Rip handles these things. You know, Rip kind of runs

0:41:44.080 --> 0:41:48.120
<v Speaker 2>headlong into these conflicts, whereas Casey kind of turns into

0:41:48.160 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 2>this well trained machine exactly.

0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:56.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, it is a that's not That's what's fun

0:41:56.360 --> 0:41:59.480
<v Speaker 3>about doing these sequences is you get to kind of

0:41:59.480 --> 0:42:02.680
<v Speaker 3>think about that. You know, when when Rip, I can't

0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:05.200
<v Speaker 3>remember what episode there's when Rip comes in and saves

0:42:05.239 --> 0:42:09.680
<v Speaker 3>Beth from being raped by the Beck Brothers, bad guys

0:42:09.719 --> 0:42:12.320
<v Speaker 3>and stuff, is you know, he just the guy turns

0:42:12.320 --> 0:42:14.319
<v Speaker 3>a gun on him and he just smashes through the

0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:17.960
<v Speaker 3>window and just can continues forward and takes the gun

0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:20.160
<v Speaker 3>and slams the guy through the floor. And I mean

0:42:20.200 --> 0:42:23.320
<v Speaker 3>it's just that's just how Rip where Casey would have

0:42:23.360 --> 0:42:25.320
<v Speaker 3>probably you know, came in and got a good angle

0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:27.440
<v Speaker 3>on him and taken him out. You know.

0:42:27.840 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 2>So it's Rip's not very tactical, just kind of he's

0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:34.360
<v Speaker 2>the bull, he's the bowl playing cowboy poker. He's going

0:42:34.560 --> 0:42:35.080
<v Speaker 2>through you.

0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, which is always always fun to work with

0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Cole and stuff like that. It's it's it's pretty fun.

0:42:44.760 --> 0:42:48.200
<v Speaker 3>My stunt guy's hate doing fights with Cole because he's

0:42:48.200 --> 0:42:53.520
<v Speaker 3>so big and strong, and doesn't you know when he

0:42:53.640 --> 0:42:55.840
<v Speaker 3>when I say through the guy through the floor, that

0:42:56.000 --> 0:42:58.520
<v Speaker 3>was a guy ritten off it. And I mean when Rip,

0:42:58.880 --> 0:43:01.439
<v Speaker 3>when Cole picked him up and slammed him onto the floor,

0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:04.240
<v Speaker 3>the whole like it felt like the whole second story

0:43:04.320 --> 0:43:08.480
<v Speaker 3>shook like it was. It was. It was not pleasant.

0:43:11.160 --> 0:43:14.640
