=== Yellowstone: A Grand Undertaking (08:52) ===

[00:00:01]  The liberals are destroying California, and conservative humor gone awry... Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascistphonia today, so stay tuned.
[00:00:12]  We're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
[00:00:18]  It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
[00:00:20]  Stay tuned guys, we'll show you exactly what it looks like when people go to school and get yourself.
[00:00:29]  Follow their embargo, stay tuned.
[00:00:32]  Alright, I'm Alexander Edward.
[00:00:37]  And I'm Tony Boswell.
[00:00:38]  And we are Minion Death Cult.
[00:00:40]  The world is ending.
[00:00:41]  Greedy land developers are responsible.
[00:00:45]  We're documenting it.
[00:00:48]  What's up, everybody?
[00:00:48]  This is your Patreon episode for the week.
[00:00:51]  Thank you so much for supporting the show.
[00:00:54]  We love you folks, etc, as always.
[00:00:57]  We have just an amazing show for today.
[00:01:03]  This is an episode that I've wanted to do for a long time.
[00:01:07]  It's something that I've Almost been, like, intimidated to do.
[00:01:13]  This felt like a grand undertaking to do.
[00:01:19]  Luckily, I had the help of an intrepid listener to sort of guide me, and I will give credit to that listener when the time is right, but We also have a wonderful guest here today, and I am so happy that he was able to join us for this adventure.
[00:01:36]  We have Chris Cabin of the We Hate Movies podcast.
[00:01:40]  Thank you so much for joining us, Chris.
[00:01:42]  Hey man, thanks for having me.
[00:01:45]  Yeah, big fan of We Hate Movies.
[00:01:47]  It was, I told you before we started recording, but it was literally the first podcast I ever listened to about six or seven years ago.
[00:01:55]  It got me through loading a lot of trailers.
[00:01:58]  Shout out to Jerry for recommending me.
[00:02:01]  We Hate Movies.
[00:02:02]  If you're a movie fan, if you like making fun of bad movies, We Hate Movies has been doing it for what, like 10 years now?
[00:02:09]  Yeah, we started in 2010.
[00:02:11]  We've just been doing it.
[00:02:14]  Wonderful show.
[00:02:15]  Highly recommended.
[00:02:16]  Thank you guys.
[00:02:17]  That means a lot.
[00:02:19]  Um, so, we are not talking about a movie today.
[00:02:24]  We are talking about Prestige TV.
[00:02:30]  Something somewhat similar to a movie, especially due to the fact that it is written and directed by a, you know, film writer and director.
[00:02:40]  Uh, we are talking about Yellowstone.
[00:02:44]  The Paramount Network original TV show, Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner as a, let's just say rancher for now, named John Dutton who owns a ranch in Montana called Yellowstone.
[00:03:05]  This is a TV show that came across, like, you know, I discovered by seeing a sponsored ad for Episode 7, Season 1, in which Kevin Costner as this rancher John Dutton
[00:03:25]  uh harasses a group of I think Chinese tourists who are on his land and then fires a gun into the air to scare them off this is this is a an episode that I've wanted to do for a long time I wasn't I had no idea whether or not The actual show was going to be worth covering.
[00:03:47]  I figured if they were advertising it based on the idea of firing a rifle to get Chinese people off your land that it might be a good show to cover for Minion Death Cult.
[00:04:00]  I talked about it in the Facebook group and I have to give a shout out to listener Kaylin for telling me what episodes were good to look at.
[00:04:12]  So thank you so much Kaylin.
[00:04:14]  We are going to be looking at episodes 1, 2, 3, and 7 with a little bit of extra info splashed in here or there because once I watched those four episodes I kind of needed to see more.
[00:04:30]  I remember you showing me this trailer, this little commercial, a while ago, a long time ago.
[00:04:37]  And I was so excited when you sent me the text that was basically like, it's go time.
[00:04:44]  We're doing it.
[00:04:45]  You've got your Yellowstone bag packed, right, Tony?
[00:04:48]  Are you ready?
[00:04:49]  Because we're about to spend $3 an episode.
[00:04:51]  It's gonna be worth every penny.
[00:04:53]  Are you ready for this?
[00:04:54]  You've got your bug-out bag for Yellowstone, right?
[00:04:57]  I was so happy.
[00:05:00]  What a beautiful time to be stuck on lockdown.
[00:05:03]  Like, best time ever is this.
[00:05:05]  Thank you so much, universe.
[00:05:07]  Well, I have to also- It all happens for a reason.
[00:05:09]  I have to also shout out Amazon Prime, because that's where we watched it.
[00:05:13]  Because for whatever reason, you can't just get a free trial to the Paramount Network.
[00:05:17]  You have to, like, have it as part of a cable package or whatever.
[00:05:21]  So, I bought the individual episodes, and then I was like, shit, I should have just bought the full season for $12.99.
[00:05:28]  But then when I went, it gave me a discounted price for the rest of the episodes.
[00:05:32]  So, I was like, alright, tight.
[00:05:33]  Oh, oh, you just changed my whole schedule tomorrow.
[00:05:39]  John Dutton, this character, this rancher, he's sort of portrayed as like, you know, kind of like a tough, hard scrabble kind of guy who's like fighting, you know, fighting to keep what's his or whatever.
[00:05:54]  What's his is 520,000 acres in Montana.
[00:06:01]  That's what the Yellowstone Ranch is.
[00:06:04]  It's worth hundreds of millions of dollars and also John Dutton is the Livestock Commissioner.
[00:06:14]  He's a cop.
[00:06:15]  Not only is he a millionaire, not only is he like a business tyrant, He's a fucking cop and a politician because it's an elected position.
[00:06:27]  So he's like everything that's bad.
[00:06:30]  He's extremely powerful.
[00:06:31]  That's what's... He's so powerful in this show.
[00:06:35]  Way too powerful and he's got like his son is the top cop in his cop uniform.
[00:06:42]  Like of his squadron, one of his top hitters lives with him.
[00:06:47]  Yeah.
[00:06:48]  Are you talking about Lee?
[00:06:49]  Is that the son you're talking about?
[00:06:52]  I mean, he's doing that on top of the actual, like, cowboy stuff, right?
[00:06:59]  Yeah, so the title of this episode is, of course, Yellowstone, but also I have here Steer Team Six.
[00:07:12]  No.
[00:07:14]  Because what this show is, is it's not only about ranchers, it's not only about like landowners and hardworking men who are also fucking millionaires.
[00:07:26]  And hey, they had to work that hard to become millionaires, right?
[00:07:30]  Absolutely.
[00:07:31]  It's also about like top level operators who are also ranchers.
[00:07:38]  Yeah.
[00:07:39]  Nope.
[00:07:39]  There's a couple scenes in here that we'll get to that showcase that spectacularly.
[00:07:46]  Yeah.
[00:07:49]  The reason we're covering it on this show is it's just good content in general, but it's so Facebook.
[00:07:55]  It's so like, there's so many Facebook, uh, like touchstones throughout the, just the four episodes that we watched.
[00:08:04]  But the main overarching thing is that these are highly competent men who are, uh, tactical in nature and also salt of the earth.
[00:08:16]  Yeah.
[00:08:17]  Like this show had this amazing effect where it's like, a little background, you know, I'm what people would consider like, you know, traditionally masculine.
[00:08:26]  I'm like a large person.
[00:08:28]  I wouldn't consider you that.
[00:08:29]  Oh, I mean like, I'm a large person who has like a beard and grew up hunting and I also grew up on like a, I grew up on like a, I spent some time on a farm.
[00:08:37]  Yeah, but you got pink hair dude, that's the girl color.

=== Women As Tough Dudes (00:22) ===

[00:08:39]  Well now, well now, but I, you know, but I, but like this, it was after I watched the show and I realized that I'm in fact not a man.
[00:08:49]  It's important to learn.
[00:08:50]  I was like, okay, I can dye my hair pink now?
[00:08:55]  No, but like seriously, this, this whole, this whole entire movie was like, even like, even like the women are like tough dudes.
