- Ryan got an email about their registry,

I don't know if you know,

they're doing a dual thing.

They have a Smith and Wesson and Louis Vuitton.

It's a special collection.

(upbeat music)

- Gentlemen.

- Come on!

- You know what I think looks hot.

When a girl wears a jacket like it's a shirt.

Like, nothing underneath, just the jacket.

- This scene, it's so damn charming.

Like, you fall in love with her

and your relationship.

It says so much.

- That was such a fun day

because Eden Brolin is also pretty afraid of Cole Hauser.

So it was a really exciting opportunity for Eden

to sort of have that stuff with Cole,

to have to sort of own that space so fully

in the way that Mia does.

And she does an incredible job.

She comes in there with this insane, like 80 words,

like massive monologue where she's talking about

all this crazy shit.

- If you think about it, it's sexy when men wear

exactly what they're supposed to wear,

but for girls it's sexy to wear

what you're not supposed to wear.

I don't know, I wonder why that is.

I guess what's the taboo of it.

- Eden is such a good actor that

Mia owns that space so fully.

In a space with Rip who like,

ostensibly is the highest status character in any room

that John Dutton's not in.

- Right.

- And also Rip is a bit of a father figure for Jimmy,

so there's that terrifying thing of like,

introducing your girlfriend to your dad.

It's very frightening.

And Cole also is such an incredible comedic actor.

- Oh, for sure.

- You know that song, Rip?

- Mm, what song?

- "Turtles All the Way Down".

Let me play it for you.

You're going to love it.

- Yes, Mia, you know what put on some music.

Wouldn't that be nice Jimmy?

Some music would be nice, wouldn't it?

- Cole so rarely gets to stretch his

comedic muscles on the show,

so it's so fun to sit there and watch Cole.

- [Mia] I swear, you're going to love it.

- Great.

- 'Cause Cole has a better sense of comedic timing

and a better sense of like using his ethos as Rip

for comedy's sake.

- Right.

- Come here, come here.

When we get back to the ranch,

I'm going to kill you with my bare fucking hands, Jimmy.

I'm gonna kill you for this.

- Wow.

- There's rodeo on the weekend, Jimmy.

There's rodeo for a living

and then there's business rodeo.

- The Steiners are incredible.

So the Steiners, three generations of cowboys basically,

of bucking horse riders.

- The kids in that scene,

the guys who are in that scene.

- Yeah.

- Holy shit.

That's Sid Steiner

- You ever met a world champion before, Jimmy?

Well now you have.

- Those are the real dudes?

- Yeah, Sid Steiner, his son, Rocker.

- Good.

- Yeah, really incredible.

And Rocker rode as part of the action of that scene.

- You ready?

- This kid is like literally, I think he's like 16.

(yelling)

Those are guys, who I think they're so used to

operating under high stakes.

You know, the thousands of people in an arena,

cheering and screaming,

that the cameras didn't fucking bug 'em at all.

They were like incredible, natural performers

and I learned so much about acting from watching them

and their sort of effortlessness.

- Well, what do you think?

- He bucks pretty good, Rip,

but he's no rodeo horse.

- Once you've been kicked off a fucking horse

in front of 10,000 people,

like the camera does it doesn't bug you so much.

Although, Yellowstone obviously has

a few more than 10,000 viewers.

I think the latest number is 35 billion.

- That's the latest numbers.

- Might be a little inflated.

There's like a sort of ritualistic nature to,

they get to call it shoot procedure,

Forrie calls it shoot procedure,

like how you get ready to hop up on the bucking horse,

so watching Rocker get ready to go up on the horse

was such amazing research,

because it's very mathematical and it's very objective,

but it's also, like any sport,

it's also so much about the energy you bring into it.

So watching Rocker get psyched up to get on that horse

was like, the most amazing character research

I've ever seen.

That kid is incredible.

- That boy's been riding sheep since

he was four, Jimmy.

Steer since he was seven.

- To be there with Eden too,

because like Jeff and Eden are both fascinated with

and learning about rodeo culture.

To be there with Cole, it was a really, really cool day.

And those guys are incredible athletes.

(country music)

- Hello, Forrie J. Smith.

- Since you've been cowboying for so long

and you grew up in so many different places,

you've come up with like a lot of like isms.

- When a cowboy needs extra money, he wins it.

- If you could share some insight on where you've heard them

and how you came up with them,

would be extremely enlightening.

- That's all on our cinematic genius friend,

Taylor Sheridan.

- You gotta be kidding me.

She's old enough to vote and buy bullets,

don't be blaming me for her bad judgment.

- That's something I would say.

(laughing)

The old timers that me and Taylor have been around

and stuff that I think we've heard these from other guys,

like ain't smart enough to pour warm piss out of a boot.

I heard that before.

- I know that's an insult, but I just don't understand how.

- How does, let's just break this one down.

'Cause this is unclear to me.

First of all, how does the piss get in the boot?

- I've thought about this a lot.

- Like, if it's really cold out,

you might want to leave it in there.

- You pee yourself.

You're frightened, or under extreme duress.

You, yourself pee.

Your boot fills up with that pee as it runs down your leg.

- Got it.

- And then if one had any sense, one might empty one's boot.

- But if it's really chilly.

- If it's really chilly or--

- It's like peeing in a wetsuit.

- It just seems like a lot was going.

I have my chaps on, had my long johns on, my jeans on--

- Taking the boots off--

- There just seems like there's a lot of areas that

it would never make it to the boot.

- Huh!

- Just seems like it get real, you know what I mean?

- The piss would be soaked up.

- The warmth would only last for so long

and then you'd want to get that piss out of there.

- As soon as, as soon as that piss gets out of your body,

it's cooling to down.

- I'm aware of the insult.

I just, why is there piss in my boot?

There's another really good one.

Toughness, you're either born a willow.

- Or you're born an oak.

That's all there is to it.

- Will you just go down the line

and let us know which of us is a willow

and which of his is an oak,

without thinking about it too much?

Just your first impulse.

(game show music)

- You're not at the Yellowstone if you're a willow.

- Ah! - Damn.

- Wow.

- Wow, what a way to service all of us.

- Yeah, such a Forrie J. Smith compliment.

There are so many departments that lean on you

to sorta help get the sense of authenticity

as it relates to this lifestyle,

and I I've had so many experiences of

talking to the costume designers

and the costumers about your clothes.

So you wear your own clothes.

- Well, no, because you never know

what they might do to your clothes on set,

but they are just like I wear in everyday life.

- Yeah, they're sorta trying to recreate the authentic

Forrie J. Smith look.

- Yeah, we talked about the broken pelvis,

so I like tight pants and holding my hips together.

It's why I don't get on a horse without chaps on.

I put them chaps and a belt.

And you wear long sleeve shirts

'cause you're always doing things with your forearms

and pushing on things and you can grab a bale of hay.

Where's that?

It's right here.

And you sweat it up to get your sleeves wet, right here,

or I have soaked 'em

and all them blood vessels going through right there,

you wet that part of that long sleeve down,

that cools your whole body up and it keeps the sun off.

The vest is flapping, so it creates a little breeze on ya.

There's a reason for everything.

- That's cowboy shit.

Let me tell you, when I'm on set and it's hot, I'm like,

"I don't want to wear the chaps today."

I always roll my sleeves up 'cause I'm sweating my ass off.

- The last thing you think about is hay.

- The last thing I'm thinking about is hay.

And I sometimes look over and he'll just be like

"Cowboys don't roll up their sleeves."

And I'm like "This one does."

(country music)

- What's that?

- The proper term for it would be a juxtaposition.

- I don't know what that means, Beth.

- One of the biggest payoffs that we've been working towards

for three seasons is the true romance of Beth and Rip.

People are going to exhale a sigh of,

"Thank God, we deserve this.

You gave it to us.

And it's ours now."

And it's well worth the wait, I think.

- That means that you, that you have me.

That's I'm yours.

- I think that that characterizes this season so much,

the highs and lows.

Like, that sort of high point probably in Rips whole life.

That's maybe the best, the safest,

the sort of most in love he's ever felt,

maybe the same for Beth, right?

Like, that's such a high for them.

And we've seen them sort of like,

plunging the depths of their souls.

We've seen them going through such

difficult trauma together,

and then to see them at the sort of peak of that mountain

is so exciting and it begs the question,

what comes next?

Can they go higher than this?
