1
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Official Yellowstone Podcast. I'm Jefferson. Why,

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: I am joined as always by Jen Landon, and we

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: have a fun show on tap for you today with

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: a guest that we've been talking about for the past

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: couple of episodes.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeff, I don't know if I could be more

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: excited than I am about today's episode. And I feel

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: like we all have crushes on our guest that we're

9
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: going to be speaking too soon, which is the amazing

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: Brandon Splenard, who plays Spencer Dutton.

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it took him six months, he had to cross

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: several oceans, and now we've got him in the studio today.

13
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: I am so excited to talk with Brandon. He's one

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: of my favorite actors in nineteen twenty three. It's one

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: of my favorite characters in nineteen twenty three. And like

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: we've been watching this show. We've seen seven episodes of

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: this now. I'm a huge, huge fan of the show

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to hear about his experience. It's

19
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: working on it right after this quick break.

20
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm really excited to talk to Brandon in

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: a little bit. But the last time you and I spoke, Jeff,

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: we were on episode four, and a lot has happened

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: since then. So home, the home that the Spencer characters

24
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: returning to, looks very different than it did. Well, let's

25
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: say at the beginning of episode four, certainly.

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been it's been a transformative season for the

27
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: Dutton ranch itself. You know, Spencer's been on this epic

28
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: journey all around the world trying to reach home, and

29
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: the real question is is there going to be anything

30
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: left by the time he gets there. So when we

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: last spoke about nineteen twenty three, Jacob had been shot.

32
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: John Dutton had been killed. It was a really like

33
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: low moment for the ranch.

34
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: Does is Spencer aware that his brother has been shot

35
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: and killed in that letter? I can't remember.

36
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think, oh, yes, yes, Alex

37
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: reads him that letter. Yeah, and that's it feels like,

38
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: what is the final straw that summons him home. It

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: feels like he's been resisting coming home. Kara has been

40
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: sort of trying to get in touch with him, and

41
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: then it feels like this attack, this sort of savage

42
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: attack on the Duttons and his family is what finally

43
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: spurs him into motion to head home. Jacob is wounded.

44
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: Jack is like bloodthirsty that the journey that Jack has

45
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: been on is fascinating and I get it right. His

46
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: father was killed, his mother dies. He is on this

47
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: kind of this personal he seems, and Kara says this

48
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: to him over and over again, like, you know your vision,

49
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: You've gotta come back to reality. This sort of revenge fantasy,

50
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: this like bloodthirst that you're feeling is not what we need.

51
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: This is not constructive. It's a kind of maze that

52
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: he's lost in. And then there's this beautiful moment when

53
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: he finally sort of the haze clears because Elizabeth, his fiance,

54
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: is going to leave him. She says, all right, get

55
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: me out of here. If all you are is a killer,

56
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: if all you can think about is revenge, then we're done.

57
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: And that's the sort of final straw that thankfully pierces

58
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: through that fugue state he's in, so he comes back

59
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: to reality and accepts his responsibility. You know it. Really

60
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: he has his own version. We've seen Spencer's struggle with

61
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: this death drive, this kind of in the wake of

62
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: the tragedy that Spencer has witnessed and faced, he's been

63
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: almost trying to get himself killed big game hunting. We've

64
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: seen Jack experience his own version of the same thing

65
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: in the wake of the death of his father. You know,

66
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: Jacob being shot, feeling so helpless an impotent. We almost

67
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: see him driving towards his own death senselessly. And it

68
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: makes me think of a moment where that a thing

69
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: that Rip says to Jimmy, and like season two of Yellowstone,

70
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: Jimmy wants to just get up and go and attack

71
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: the men that killed his grandfather, and Rips like, no, no, no,

72
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you how to get rid of problems

73
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: so they don't become bigger problems. And it feels this

74
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: whole time like Kara is saying Jack, calm down. We've

75
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: got to be logical. We have to take care of

76
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: this in a way that isn't going to create a

77
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: bigger issue for us or kick the hornet's nest. We

78
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: have to do this the right way, or they are

79
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: going to win. If we rise to this drive for revenge,

80
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna be overpowered and killed. That's not gonna work.

81
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: That tactic isn't valid.

82
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 2: On that front. And again we can ask Brandon this,

83
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: but do we think that Spencer's motivation for coming home

84
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: is to take care of his family, protect his family,

85
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: or this vengeance that seems to kind of permeate through

86
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: the Dutton line.

87
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: That's a great question, and I bet it's that motive

88
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: is changing over time as he himself kind of comes

89
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: back to life in his love for Alex. You know,

90
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: like we've seen his death drive evolve. We've seen him

91
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: sort of wake up in some ways to the possibilities

92
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: of life, the sort of beauty of life through this

93
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: epic journey he's having alongside Alex, which is another to me,

94
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: I got to say, another sort of Rip and Casey parallel.

95
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: These characters who have been sort of taken all the

96
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: way up to the edge of despair, been taken all

97
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: the way up to the edge of the sort of

98
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: cliff of misery, and are brought back to life by

99
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: the women they love, by their families, by a sort

100
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: of sense of responsibility to the people they love. I

101
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: feel like we've watched Spencer go through that journey, and

102
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: we've watched Jack go through that journey, and even Jacob.

103
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: Even Jacob is listening to Kara and sort of tempering

104
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: his own desire for revenge his own desire to sort

105
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: of kick back at the men that wronged him. Kara

106
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: really feels like the mediating impulse in all of it.

107
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically, what Taylor's writing over and over again is

108
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: that all men would just be dead essentially if there

109
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: weren't women around to say, honey, chill out, have a drink,

110
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: whatever you need, soften the heart, you know, don't kill yourself.

111
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: I think that's right, And Kara says, I think, Kara

112
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: says to Banner himself. She says, men kill quickly, You're

113
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: gonna wish that it was that easy. Women kill slowly.

114
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: And it seems really clear to me that Kara's not

115
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: It's not that she doesn't want vengeance. She wants vengeance

116
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: as much as anybody else. Right, She her husband was

117
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: shot right in front of her, her her nephew was killed.

118
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Like there's She's suffered as much as anybody else as

119
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: a result of this attack. So she wants vengeance. She

120
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: just wants it in a sort of methodical, calculated way

121
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: that's going to last.

122
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: Right, so that protection is still like maybe her bigger

123
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: motivation in the long run that it might be deadlier

124
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: to everybody else who is her enemy, but that it's

125
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: primary motivators and vengeance.

126
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, we've seen this across all of these shows.

127
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you take justice into your own hands,

128
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: you're cutting off hydra heads, but two more grow back.

129
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: You know, every sort of enemy that John Dutton has

130
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 1: struck down in Yellowstone, they tend to come back more

131
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: with new weapons, with new sort of forms. You know,

132
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: rip kills what's his name, Oh, this is the ultimate

133
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: the ultimate humiliation is I've forgotten his name, Rorke. He

134
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: kills Roork in the river with the snake happens a

135
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: bigger batter snake shows up on a plane from New

136
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: York City. Right, you take justice into your own hands,

137
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: you don't build sustainable, lasting solutions. So part of what

138
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: Kara's doing here is saying, no, no, no, don't just

139
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: get on a horse and go shoot some more. Then

140
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna hire more guys. They're gonna come back over here,

141
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: and they're gonna kill more of us. She's saying, let's

142
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: do this, right, let's do this, you know, legally, let's

143
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: bring these institutions in to this justice such that it

144
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: lasts and perseveres, so that you know, the next time

145
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: she turns her head. She's not losing another precious member

146
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: of her family. And you know who better to help

147
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: than Spencer. Nothing right Spencer has You know what, I'm

148
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: amazed by Spencer because he's got this kind of cool

149
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: logic to him, even while he is an incredible and listen,

150
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: my man can kill. He's got that dog in him.

151
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: He has killed pretty much every zoo animal. He's killed

152
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: all my favorite zoo animals so far out of necessity,

153
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: with respect, out of necessity. But he also has this

154
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: kind of cool, methodical head in these moments, you know,

155
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: when they're stuck on the capsized tugboat and you know, Alix,

156
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: you know that like exposure kills you in the middle

157
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: of the ocean real quick, you got the sun beating

158
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: down on your dehydrated. He stays cool, he stays methodical.

159
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: He's a survivor. He's exactly the soldier that Karen needs.

160
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: So obviously, Spencer, you know this, this vital soldier in

161
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: the Dutton's effort to keep their ranches headed home, and

162
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: he's heading home to face a multitude of threats. One

163
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: of my favorite parts of nineteen twenty three has been

164
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: this really interesting cool villains. You know, we've seen Donald

165
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: Whitfield right, this kind of big business robber Baron almost

166
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: sort of circling representing one side of this equation that

167
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: will of course play out again in Yellowstone, presenting big

168
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:06,359
Speaker 1: money representing industry, representing the desire to sort of pillage

169
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: this land to pull resources out of it. But then

170
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: we also one of my favorite characters on the show

171
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: who I'm just absolutely obsessed with because I love this

172
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: actor too, is Banner, right, Jerome Flynn's character Banner Creighton,

173
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: because I love seeing him sort of go through this journey,

174
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: starting out as basically a sheepherder who is in a

175
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: desperate position, somebody with very little one of many sheep

176
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: herders sort of having to make this desperate play, banding

177
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: together his sort of compatriots and attacking the Duttons, the

178
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: most powerful, richest institution in the valley, attacking them and

179
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: in doing so also enriching himself immensely. I love the

180
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: team up. I really do love the team up of

181
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: Donald and Banner because they represent these two complete, deletely

182
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: different sides of the coin. It's such a funny, odd couple,

183
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: and I could endlessly watch Banners sort of walk through

184
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: his brand new house, turning on the faucets, drinking champagne,

185
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: experiencing the other side of his life. You know, we're

186
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: watching all these characters part of this. You know, one

187
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: of the big kind of themes of the show is modernity,

188
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: the steady march of modernity. There's all these questions about wait,

189
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: is the railroad coming, is electricity coming? Is plumbing coming?

190
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: Washing machines? Obviously, I get so excited about this stuff.

191
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: I could talk about it all day. I'm gonna spare

192
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: you all that We're gonna take a quick break, and

193
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: when we come back, we've got with us the incredible

194
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: Brandon Spleinar. So stay right there. You know, we get

195
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: the gift of talking to a lot of our friends

196
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: on this show. We get the gift of talking to

197
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: a lot of our workers. In this case, Jen and

198
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: I feel incredibly lucky to talk to an actor that

199
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: we're just fans of. We've both been watching nineteen twenty three,

200
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: We've been gushing to you this audience about it for weeks,

201
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: and perhaps no character more than Spencer Dutton. So we

202
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: feel incredibly lucky to have with us today an actor

203
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: whom we admire very much. Brandon's Glennard, thank you so

204
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: much for being here.

205
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 3: Man. Yeah, of course, Man, happy to be here, Brandon.

206
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: I'm just going to start at the very beginning, like

207
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: what can you just tell us a little bit about

208
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: how this role came to you, what that audition process

209
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: was like, had you seen Yellowstone before, etc.

210
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, I I've been wanting to work with Taylor

211
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 4: for a long time, a really long time since I

212
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 4: saw Heller h Water years ago, and he was kind

213
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 4: of at the top of my top of my list

214
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 4: in terms of filmmakers and creators. And my manager called

215
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 4: me and he was like, Hey, that nineteen twenty three

216
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 4: project you've been tracking for a while, they want to

217
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 4: read you. Perhapsideria. John Popsidi is a casting director on there.

218
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 4: He's a good friend and he's he's cast me in

219
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 4: I think four or five projects and he's like pastes

220
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 4: casting it, and uh you got a roll for you

221
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 4: And I was like, oh shit, okay. Uh so he

222
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 4: send it over and yeah, and I just immediately resonated

223
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 4: with it just in the breakdown and on the page

224
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 4: and felt I felt good about it, you know, I

225
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 4: felt confident about it from the jumping Like I said,

226
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 4: It just resonated with me in a way that I

227
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 4: hadn't really felt before with anything I'd come across or

228
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 4: an auditioned for.

229
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 3: And it was it was honestly out of anything I've

230
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: ever done.

231
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 4: It was the quickest and most painless casting process.

232
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 3: It was so fast.

233
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 4: I mean sometimes these things drag out for three or

234
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 4: four months and you're just losing your mind, you know.

235
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 3: So it was great.

236
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes it's just right.

237
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 2: Man.

238
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: Jen and I were marveling before you got on at

239
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: what exquisite casting this is. It really is an incredible

240
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: energetic match. Will you talk a little bit about the

241
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: experience of functionally sort of going on this personal journey,

242
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: this kind of adventure.

243
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 4: Just there their creative process, Taylor's creative process, and just

244
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 4: this whole sort of Yellowstone universe that he's created. And

245
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 4: I can't speak to any of his other projects, but

246
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 4: I imagine they're pretty similar. I mean they are so immersive,

247
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 4: and you know, in terms of acting and having to

248
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 4: create things for yourself for them to be real. I mean,

249
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 4: they take care of so much, so many things for you.

250
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 4: It just just really thrown you on that and my my,

251
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 4: my personal journey as an actor and as a person

252
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 4: mirrored Spencer's in so many ways. Just it's kind of eerie,

253
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 4: you know, and just just being out there in Africa

254
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: and trying to make sense everything, and you know, being

255
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: thrust into this role with all this responsibility to carry

256
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 4: this thing, and that also mirroring his responsibility to to

257
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 4: you know, take care Alex and to get home to

258
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 4: his family, and and you know, always being out of

259
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 4: his element, but also at the same time always being

260
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 4: in his element, you know, so in his element being

261
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 4: out of his element, you know, he finds comfort in

262
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 4: the uncomfortable. So it's this weird paradox that I definitely

263
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: tapped into and just you know, live the entire time myself.

264
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: Do you think like, should this role have come into

265
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: your life five years ago, that you would have been

266
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: at a place too, like it would have been a

267
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: match then, or do you think do you know what

268
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: I mean?

269
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 4: I'm a I'm a firm believer in just a divine

270
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 4: timing of life and things in general. And you know,

271
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 4: I can pretty clearly track the trajectory of how things

272
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 4: have evolved based on where I was at personally and

273
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 4: what I was trying to do in my personal life.

274
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 4: And I mean, I don't think that it could have

275
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 4: happened at any other time because I wouldn't have been

276
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 4: in a position to handle it the way that I

277
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 4: was able to and bring that vibe to Spencer.

278
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 3: That he needed.

279
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 4: At any other point in my life if I was

280
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 4: in my mid twenties versus my early thirties and having

281
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 4: gone through what I've gone through personally in the last

282
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 4: five years, and that shift, and yeah, there's no way.

283
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: There's just no way, And I wouldn't have wanted it.

284
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: It's a fascinating Yeah, you mentioned yourself. You feel as

285
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: though working on the show has has changed you, You've

286
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: grown from working on the show. By the time we

287
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: find Spencer. When we first find Spencer, he has lived

288
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: a long, difficult life. You know, he is a part

289
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: of this generation of young men who were forced to

290
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: age prematurely by participating in the horror that was World

291
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: War One, Right, so he has seen some shit at

292
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: a young age by the time we first find him,

293
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: and he is so clearly haunted by it. It's almost

294
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: like he's after his life. It's like his life is

295
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: over in some sense and he's almost hunting his own death.

296
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: It feels to me, like doing what he's doing. He's

297
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: going out there until one of these fucking lions brings

298
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: him down. The only you know, he's almost looking for

299
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: the animal that's big enough to kill him back. And

300
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: then over the course of these seven episodes, it's an

301
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: amazing gift just watching this sort of life come back

302
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: into him in part because of this relationship with Alex.

303
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: So will you just talk a little about working with Julia,

304
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: you know her, she also is coming into this with

305
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of responsibility, and I know from being

306
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: on set, your greatest gift is each other, your greatest

307
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: talk about immersive. Having a performance like that right across

308
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: from you is the greatest gift in the world. Will

309
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: you talk about your sort of shared process and how

310
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: you found these characters together.

311
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, that's great that you're perceiving all that

312
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 4: from that from the show, because that was all the intentions.

313
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 3: I'm happy about that. That's great.

314
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, we we got really lucky. You know,

315
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 4: Taylor didn't do a chemistry read for the role of

316
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 4: Alex at all, and neither of us have really been

317
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 4: in this position before in terms of a role that

318
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 4: significant in a show.

319
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 3: That is such a following and sort of this built

320
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: in viewership.

321
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: Even though it's the first season of you know, the

322
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 4: show itself, there's so much going into it that you

323
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 4: know you're going to have those eyes.

324
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 3: And I think we bonded in a.

325
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 4: Lot of ways, and especially in that way, you know,

326
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 4: just sort of entering this new arena in our careers

327
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: and his actors together, and we were fortunate enough to

328
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,959
Speaker 4: get along really well and just kind of have an

329
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 4: instant rapport.

330
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: Just the echoes are so apparent, right you're talking about

331
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: your experience of working on the show. Okay, I'm going

332
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: to leave my family behind. I'm going to leave my

333
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: friends behind. I'm going to go into the middle of

334
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: nowhere and put my trust in these other actors, put

335
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: my trust in this crew. And that's very much what

336
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: the character's doing too, Right, He's in the middle of

337
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: fucking nowhere, far from everything he's ever known or loved,

338
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: and he finds this person to trust, which is such

339
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: a fascinating journey to watch. So you get cast on

340
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: a show starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren and then

341
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, your characters on the other side

342
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: of the world. What did you do so much of

343
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: the poll for Spencer is getting home, getting home to

344
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: this life, this responsibility, this duty. How did you approach

345
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: in your own mind and imagination developing a relationship to

346
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: these characters that you're not working with, you're on the

347
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: other side of the world. What did you do with

348
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: those other you know, your your your siblings on the show,

349
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: these other characters, so you have a rich relationship to

350
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: How did you build that bond with Montana and the

351
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: Dutton ranch such that we can feel Spencer's pain being

352
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: separated from it?

353
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I I it's a similar I you know,

354
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 4: I did a similar thing with the war, just just

355
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: you know, you just build memory, you know, and then

356
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 4: just meditating with them, sitting with them until until they

357
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 4: feel real.

358
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 3: So he's such an internal.

359
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 4: Character, so you know, you got to do that Otherwise,

360
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 4: just there's nothing going on.

361
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break really quick, and when we

362
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna keep talking to Brandon because there's

363
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: a lot more to talk about.

364
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 3: Keep talking.

365
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I have a question that I need to

366
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 2: ask before I forget, because I will forget. And it

367
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 2: is a specific moment and we were talking a little

368
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 2: bit earlier about loading things with memory. When the Julia

369
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 2: character makes the decision to come after Spencer, to come

370
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: after you and runs to the car and she gets

371
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: in the car and she yells to him, find somebody

372
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: who loves you. You got you were emotional in that moment.

373
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: I remember noticing that, and it was it really struck me.

374
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 2: And if I don't know, I don't know if you

375
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 2: remember that moment, I don't know if you can talk

376
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: a little bit about that. It struck me because it

377
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 2: felt very much like something that was so deeply tied

378
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: to the character, but it also felt to me like

379
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 2: something that was tied that existed between, like that great

380
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 2: thing that can happen with actors where you're like, I

381
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: don't know. It felt like it had both. It felt

382
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: like it had the actor's connection and the character's connection

383
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 2: in it.

384
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 4: It's tough, it's it's it's tough to delineate what's what's

385
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 4: a Spencer thing and what's a brand and thing it

386
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 4: really is when, especially when you're when you're in it.

387
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: Those lines are hard to see.

388
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 4: But I do I can speak from from Spencer's point

389
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 4: of view that you know he's had such a such

390
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 4: a barrier up for such a long time, I mean

391
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 4: years and years, such a strong barrier, and no one's

392
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 4: ever crossed that barrier. And I think he's just overwhelmed

393
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 4: by this person he doesn't even know, who's just so

394
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 4: see something in him to the point where where she's

395
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 4: just like steam rolls through that that fucking thing so

396
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 4: and it hits him hard. You know, there's that level

397
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 4: of just blind faith. And I want to say love,

398
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 4: but I think it is love at that point, even

399
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 4: though it's so early on. You see something in him,

400
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 4: and I think it just catches him off guard and

401
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 4: it just hits him right in the art. You know,

402
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 4: my here's this person. He doesn't even know me, and

403
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 4: he doesn't think very highly of himself. So I think

404
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 4: it just it just, you know, starts to just fill

405
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 4: his cup a little bit. I think it's it's the

406
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 4: first few drops in that in that cup, you know

407
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 4: that's been empty for a long time, and I think

408
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 4: I think that's what it is.

409
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 2: One of the things that Jeff and I experience on

410
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: Yellowstone is that the shoots can be a bit grueling

411
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 2: because we're often doing what we're what it appears we're

412
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: doing or sometimes it feels like we're shooting a doc

413
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: and that's part of what makes the job so great.

414
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 2: And I was wondering if there were days on this

415
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: show that stood out in your mind, is like a

416
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 2: particularly adventurous shoot day or or a challenging one, because

417
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: so many of the sequences that you're in are beautiful

418
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 2: and epic and and riveting, and wondering what was sort

419
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: of the stand adults for you.

420
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it was just all the swimming episode six,

421
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 4: all that swimming, man, that was that was that was tough.

422
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: That was only the toughest thing I've.

423
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 4: Done, uh, on a on a on a project, hands down,

424
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 4: I mean, one of the toughest things I've done in general.

425
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 4: And I'm I'm I'm in pretty decent shape. And we

426
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 4: swam a lot going into that and it was it

427
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 4: was hard because the water was cold, it was ocean water,

428
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 4: and it was pretty chilly outside. And what ends up

429
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 4: being in the show, as you guys know, it's you know,

430
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 4: a few minutes in the show, but we did for

431
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 4: four days, so you're you're you know, I'm watching it

432
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, that's it.

433
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 3: That's all for it.

434
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's like, yeah, we were, we were you know,

435
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 4: we were out there and Guy Ferland, our director. I

436
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 4: remember we'd come in off the off the water and

437
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 4: Julian and I would be to and shaken to the

438
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 4: to the bones and uh, you know, soaking wet in

439
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: the wind, and.

00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: I would be like was He's like, oh, it's amazing.

441
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 3: You look like you're really struggling out there.

442
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, Guy, yeah we are. Uh it's

443

00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 3: That was a trip. That was. That was great.

445
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 4: I mean it's it's you know, they're they're tough days,

446
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 4: but you love those days because you don't have there's

447
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 4: no acting, you know, and anytime you can cut out

448
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 4: the acting, it's great.

449
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 3: So I'm i'm i'm I'm I'm.

450
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 4: Grateful for those days. I love those days. But those

451
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 4: were those were hard days.

452
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: Brandon. This is not the most highbrow question, but because

453
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 2: everybody's obsessed with Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford and for

454
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: whatever reason, it's given me some Indiana Jones vibes. Has

455
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 2: has anyone else said this to you?

456
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I've I've heard a lot of the Indiana

457
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 4: Jones h vibe comparison talks. Yeah, it's it's you know,

458
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 4: it's the same color palette.

459
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: Hey, it's more than that, don't dumb it. It's more

460
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 2: than that.

461
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: You know, Brandy, They tell me the same thing. I've

462
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: been dealing with this for five seasons now. Everybody looks

463
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: at me and says, Indiana Jones.

464
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: You know Indiana Jones.

465
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get sick of it, right, It's kind of

466
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: it gets old being compared to one of the most

467
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: iconic characters and performances in history.

468
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, taicular, leave it. It's it's a burden.

469
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 3: You got a bear. No, it's it's it's it's.

470
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 4: A good Yeah, you know, you hope to not get

471
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 4: any comparisons, but it's human nature to get comparisons, and

472
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 4: it's it's a hell of a comparison.

473
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 3: So I'll take it.

474
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's it's I mean, if I were watching it,

475
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 4: I compare myself to it as well, just based on

476
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 4: Harrison being in the show. And then, like I said,

477
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 4: is the same we both carry around. India doesn't carry

478
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 4: a rope, but he used he uses a whip.

479
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: I go the other direction. I was watching Indiana Jones
