Joe Rogan Experience #2517 - Taylor Sheridan

Joe Rogan podcast. Check it out. >> The Joe Rogan Experience. >> TRAIN BY DAY. JOE ROGAN PODCAST BY NIGHT. All day. >> What's happening?

>> What's up, buddy? >> That's a hell of a [ __ ] bell puckle. >> What is that? What is that? What's going on there? >> So, this one is uh for a horse I have

called Maverick Buzz the Tower that won reserve at the Futurity. >> And they give you a bellbuckle if you win >> a belt buckle and money. That's a dope

bell buckle. >> Expensive belt buckle. >> So guys like you that understand horses, like if you saw someone with one of those, you would know exactly what that

is right away. >> Oh yeah. And the year, depending on the year, I'm I'm going to know the horse. >> It's like you fighter. It's like you had fighters,

>> I guess. I guess it's probably similar. Yeah. >> Oh, that guy won the thing in 2012. He fought so and so and that's the same with me and horses. It's always so

interesting to me how these there's these different sort of categories of interest that people have that you know one person might not know anything I don't know anything about horses but

you're like [ __ ] balls deep you know [ __ ] everything about it's crazy >> it's such an interesting like pool of knowledge the the people that are really into horses and they start explaining

you like oh this is not as simple as >> oh that's a horse and that's a horse too like there's genetic lines and there's certain tendencies that certain horses actually pass on to their offspring.

>> Oh yeah, >> it's crazy stuff. >> There's a stallion and I really like him. I've got a number of horses by the st and his name's Spook's got a whiz and

and they're just incredibly balanced, real feely, very very quickfooted, big stoppers, but they they see dead people. They see ghosts. So like >> what?

>> Once every 3 months for no reason, this thing's going to [ __ ] check out. And I mean, check out just decide it's not safe here. We're going back to the barn. You can come with me or I'm gonna buck

your ass off or I'm gonna flip over. No, he just loses his mind. >> Whoa. >> And you never know when it's going to happen.

>> And his children have this as well. >> Yeah. >> Whoa. >> Just a little quirk. >> And that's but other than that,

they'reing automatic. >> That's a big quirk. That's like if you have a Corvette and it decides to drive home. >> Yeah. A little bit. A little bit.

>> Most of the time you can go to the store. We all deal with it cuz they're worth it, >> I guess. But that seems so crazy. The horsey. Do you really think it sees

ghosts? >> It he I don't know what he sees. Some kind of boogeyman. They're a lot of them are deaf. So >> really?

>> Yeah. >> Why? >> So Well, there's a there's a a gene. Typically, if you see a horse with a white face and the white goes above the

eyes, typically that horse is deaf. >> Wow. >> And so they can't hear, but they can feel the vibrations. So like that that could that could set one

of those horses off. >> Just anything pounding on the ground that might be something chasing it. >> Yeah. I mean they're prey animals. >> Right. Right. Right.

>> So >> wow. The deaf thing is crazy. I wonder if that has any sort of an advantage where they could sort of tune out distractions.

You know, I would imagine if a horse is at a rodeo. >> Yes, 100%. Because you know this crowds are screaming and yelling it's not going to bother them. Now, if they start

stomping their feet, I was going to show this one horse of mine and I'm about to run in the pen and all these guys are cheering for this Italian rider and they're all beating on the side of the

arena. >> Oh. >> And my horse checked the [ __ ] out. >> He checked the [ __ ] out. >> Like a whole herd of elephants.

>> Wow. I could imagine how weird that is for the horse. Like it's being told to do something, but its instincts are like, "No, we got to get the [ __ ] out of here. I can't hear anything.

>> That's nuts. >> The hearing thing. There's a a a famous pool player. His name is Shane Van Boning. He's like one of the greatest pool players of all time, if not the

greatest. And he's deaf. And he has hearing aids. And when he plays, he shuts him off. He just goes click >> and goes into this world, >> the zone

>> just of balls and geometry and just doesn't miss. Just he's a horrifying person to play. And because the fact that he's got that extra sense shut off, like the hearing, he can shut it off.

It's not just that. I mean, he's also obsessive. He practices 10 hours a day. I He's a all-time wizard. >> Like he's won the US Open, which is the hardest tournament to win in all of

pool. He's won it five times, >> which is just not There's only one other guy in history, Earl Strickland, that's won it five times. >> Everybody plays pool. Like everybody a

little. Yeah. But then the levels to the game, like you start getting a professional pool player. >> Yeah. >> And they're playing a totally different

game. >> It's a totally different at just watching it, you realize like, oh my god, what am I doing? I'm hitting the ball way too hard. I don't know what I'm

doing. My angles are all [ __ ] up. Like this guy's playing that with English. I would have just hit it straight. >> You watch a spin, a back spin, it hits over here and the it's just

>> it's the control of the ball. It's just like they're part of the the stick is the part of their body. The stick and the ball, they're all connected in space and time and they know where that ball's

going within millimeters. It's it's nuts to watch. Like some of these guys, they'll hit a ball and it'll travel, it's a 9 foot table. It'll travel all the [ __ ] away around the It's like a 12t

distance and it'll go in a 2-in spot and you just go, "Fuck me." It's crazy. And then if you do that and you're deaf, too. Like you don't even hear the cheers. You're just still in

the zone. >> Just hyperfocused. >> Yeah. Just hyperfocused. Autism probably helps too if you have that. >> Yeah.

>> You know, little little >> Oh, yeah. Just a touch of >> I got a little I think >> I think anybody's good at anything >> anybody's good at anything is either

ADHD or autistic. >> Yeah. >> They tried to give me medicine for the ADHD. >> Did they?

>> Yeah. I'm like, "Fuck no." >> How old were you when they tried to give it to you? >> Oh, when I Well, they did give it to me when I was a kid.

>> Really? >> Yeah. What? they give you >> and then you're who knows but whatever you're little bottomized right and then [ __ ]

>> and so I stopped taking it just cuz I was now you're just like >> you know and so my parents were like [ __ ] it just let him run around let him >> my neighbor's kid they gave it to him

when I when I lived in California it was such a bummer he was this wild little kid and they gave it to him and all a sudden he was flat >> Yep.

>> And I was like and the lady was like oh he's on medication now because he's hyperactive. I'm like, "Oh my god, not my kid. Not my place. I'm not saying nothing.

>> I just go to work." You know, I was single back then and I was like 28 or 29. And I just I was just so confused how you could do that. And I kept thinking like if somebody did that to me

when I was a kid, [ __ ] for sure I would have been on drugs. Yeah. >> If my parents knew about those options, they could shut me the [ __ ] up. If I had the wrong parent, my parents wouldn't

have done it, but if I had the wrong parents, 100% I had all the traits that would have allowed me to get on rin or whatever. superpower if you understand it. It's a superpower.

>> Yeah. If you could find something you love. >> People People say, "How in the world can you write a script? You write all these things." Like it's not that hard. Like

once I know what it is, I can sit You could sit me in an airport around a thousand people. I won't hear them and I can sit there for 12 hours straight

>> cuz you love it. >> I just get I just hyperfocus. >> But if somebody wants you to pay attention to the history of Pop-Tarts or something, it's not going in there.

physically can't do it. >> Yeah. It's not going in there. >> Yeah. That's that's the superpower. The superpower is you could find something you love and focus on it. But

>> the way our education system is designed is so ass backwards. You take kids that are so energetic and they have so much life and you just squeeze it out of them. Just sit still, stay put, listen

to boring [ __ ] And all day they're just fighting this desire to scream and just run out of the building and go do something fun. Wasn't the um like essentially what we call the modern

public education system founded by or really by the Rockefellers as a as a means to create workers. >> Yep. Yep. >> Like that's it.

>> Compliant workers and soldiers >> conform. Just one of the reasons why they decided to start school so early for kids is the earlier you can start them, the more you can get them to do

whatever you want them to do. And the more you can get them to pledge allegiance and get really excited about this that or the other thing, including all the trans stuff that you see in

school, all the pride stuff. And teachers are working with preschool kids and they're talking about sexuality and you're like, they're [ __ ] six. Like they don't know what you're talking

like, why are you even talking to them about that? Because you can get them early and you can program those thoughts into their mind that this is a good cause. And it could be anything. It

could be your religion. It could be your political ideology. It could be being a Christian, being a Muslim, whatever. If you get kids young enough, you can talk them into doing almost anything. That's

why they have child suicide bombers. They don't try to get guys in their 40s with a family to strap a vest on. They try to get kids. >> Yeah. And you know what what'll really

bake a couple of noodles is if you look at because all these things are funded, all these nonprofits and NGOs's they're off, but where's the money come from? And when you look at where the money

comes from and you realize, oh wait a minute, and it's been coming for 40, 50 years from these places. Qatar for example, obviously Russia, China, all these our enemies

donating money to all of these various groups to divide to just eat away from the inside. >> Russia's been doing it since the 70s. >> Yeah. 60s.

>> 60s. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> That uh Yuri Bezmanov, I'm sure you've seen that video. >> Anybody who hasn't, please watch it.

It's Yuri Bezmanov and it's in 1984. And this guy is essentially describing what America is going to look like eventually. And he's dead on. Just dead on. Dead on with the communism, the

Marxism, the stuff in the universities, just completely poison their mind. Push out any ideas of patriotism being a virtue. All the hate for America that you have, like all the division, all of

it engineered. Yeah. It's wild. >> Just look at who it benefits. That's it. That's it. It's real simple. >> Yeah. just look and see who it benefits. >> Well, it benefits a lot of people in

this country as well. Unfortunately, there's a lot of people that really love division and they can profit off of it and they can work work an angle. You know, we're with you. And this is a big

part of the problem with the whole idea of nonprofits because nonprofits in theory are awesome. It's a great thing that people are willing to donate their money. like wealthy people who are doing

well say, "You know what? I I think my money could be best suited helping out other people. It's beautiful. It's one of the most amazing notions about people when they can be charitable when they

don't have to be. They do it because they want to and they really want to help. Then you find out what's really going on and that the majority of the money is going to overhead and

employees." >> Well, think about this. If if I create a nonprofit to go solve Well, LA is a perfect example. We can look at the homeless situation that they have there

and all of these NOS's that are getting all of this money >> and the problem's getting worse. It's not getting better, >> right?

>> It's getting worse. But if I form an NGO and that's my cause and I solve the problem, well then what do I what do I do with my NGO? >> Exactly.

>> Now I got no money. Now there's no reason to give me money. So they they don't create them to solve problems. Anything exacerbate the problem. >> Make the problem worse. Make it longer.

Make it bigger. Look how big the problem is. We need more money. >> Some guy was doing a breakdown of the people that work in the homeless industry industry I say in air quotes in

California because that's really what it is. It's they spent $ 24 billion on the homeless problem and no one can account for it. And they they tried to get an accounting of it. They tried to do an

audit of it and Newsome vetoed it. Vetoed it. Like why would you want to know? Let's stop Let's stop all that nonsense and build this [ __ ] train track to nowhere that's never gonna get

built. >> Well, they have a mile of it. They have a mile of that train. >> Only cost a hundred billion dollars. Relax.

>> Like things take time. >> They have a [ __ ] mile. Well, we're trying to choose the path. How about right beside the I5? How about that? How about right next to the flat [ __ ]

highway? >> Everything they do sucks. Yeah. >> How about that stupid [ __ ] road over the highway to make sure the mountain lines are safe?

>> Yeah. It's like over hund00 million still not done. >> And they have them, by the way, that's not a new concept. They have those throughout the West. Yeah. And they

don't cost [ __ ] They don't cost much money at all. And they they fix them quick. They do it quick. >> It's just >> Yeah. They're done in a couple of

months. >> Yeah. Pour some cement, put some sod down, plant some [ __ ] grass, and away you go. >> Away you go.

>> But there but we're we're applying logic to a state that doesn't use that. It's it is a it's like it is as goofy as it gets and then you think it's as goofy as it gets and then you hear that Portland

just okay so this is going to be on the ballot in November. It got enough votes to be on the ballot and this is some law that's under the guise of stop animal cruelty. Well, who doesn't want to stop

animal cruelty? I certainly want to stop animal cruelty. Let's stop animal cruelty. So what does it mean? It means no hunting, no fishing, no ranching, no agriculture,

no animals that get harmed in any way. No killing chickens for Kentucky fried chicken, nothing. No animals die. And it's a city or [ __ ] vote. Oregon is voting on this in November.

>> No fishing. No fishing. What are you saying? Are you [ __ ] high? >> And and no so >> no hunting, no ranching. Ranching? You can't ranch? You going to kill a cow?

What? Are you crazy? That's illegal in Oregon. >> And here's that's probably sounds like a good idea to one of those people. And then but here's my question. All right,

so let's do it. Let's just say let's just outlaw ranching. Let's just say [ __ ] it. >> Well, there's 91 million cattle in the country. So what do we do with them? You

just leave them alone. Let nature take its course. >> Yeah, but but there's but they're not but there's no there's no nature to take its course.

>> It's 91 million head of [ __ ] cattle. And I can promise you this. If you outlaw me feeding them and taking care of them, I'm not going to then they're then they're wandering the highway.

>> Yeah. And then the bulls are out. >> Yeah. >> So you going to keep the bulls contained? No. The bulls are going to kill people.

>> Yeah. And and make more cattle and >> and make more cattle. >> Yeah. So now we have 900 million cattle in three decades. >> Yeah. And [ __ ] all your fences. Bulls

are going to smash them. Bulls are going to eat your grass. Bills are going to bulls are going to stomp your dog. Like what are you talking about?

>> It's I can't. >> But it's not supposed to be logical. It's all just a vibe, man. It's like and it's not even a wellthoughtout one. But the problem is you don't have to be well

thought out to get on the ballot. You just have to appeal to certain sensibilities and then all a sudden people are like, "Oh, that would be good. Let's stop animal cruelty."

>> And they're probably on SSRIs anyway. >> It it'll it'll probably pass. >> Nah. N I don't think it'll pass. >> According to this New York Times article, it was a guy one guy

>> one guy >> got 135,000 signatures and got it passed to that level. >> I wonder how many of them are homeless people. Um, he moved to Portland from

Denver from Southern California where I'm trying to >> do we have a photo of this dude? I want to see what this guy looks like. >> Show him. But it's

>> Of course he's from Southern California. >> Of course he is. He's a vegan. Oh, that's weird. I would have never guessed. >> Substitute teacher.

>> Oh, substitute teacher. >> Keeps getting better. >> I lost it. >> What else? >> That's all it was saying. They didn't

frame him very well. >> Well, it shouldn't. It's a crazy idea. There you go. Mickelson. >> Yeah. >> Substitute teacher, vegan, and petitions

organizer. >> It's to have a system where we're not killing or hurting animals anymore. I love how he said a system. What are you talking about? What does that mean?

What's a system? You're talking about nature. What are you talking about? Like they're going to kill each other, stupid. Like, what the [ __ ] are you talking about? Is it somehow another

less cruel with them when a mountain lion gets into a pen of sheep and tears them apart? >> Yeah. He figured the chance of meeting another

gay vegan were better in Portland. >> He's probably not wrong. >> Yeah, it's probably a good bet. >> Solid bet. >> Yeah.

>> Jesus. >> He was sitting there going, "Midland, Texas, Portland, Oregon. Where am I? Where you got to go to Portland? >> Go to Portland and take some medication.

Just [ __ ] have a good time." There he is. >> There we go. >> Hey, fella. >> Oh, he's already gotten too much

attention from us. Yeah, it's uh there's a lot of silly people in the world and you know like we were talking about with young people, if you get young people indoctrinated early enough to think

these silly ideas make sense, >> which is one of the reasons why I love that Kevin Cosner moment on your show when uh he had explained to that vegan lady.

>> Oh yeah, >> it's such a good moment. >> How cute does an animal have to be before you care if it [ __ ] lives? >> Yeah. And what the actual like what life

gets killed when you're just talking about farming just food. >> Plow in a field. >> Yeah. Just plowing a field or >> or go or go build a road.

>> You want to destroy some [ __ ] organisms, go build a road. >> Yeah. And if you're riding on those roads, >> you're in that system. And then there's

the bees. Like the amount of bees that die every year so we could have avocados is bananas. >> Yeah. bring them in from Brazil >> by the billions. By the billions by the

bee and they die bees and then on top the So it's avocados and almonds. Those are the two big ones, right? >> Yeah. Almonds. You know what's fascinating? And I'm going to We can

look it up. Almonds. The amount. It's something like 19 gallons of water is what you have to give to get one almond. >> Is that real? Yeah. Yeah, we can we can

Yeah, it's [ __ ] bananas. >> My doctor told me almonds aren't even good for you. >> Well, you know, it's >> he said they're okay for you. He said,

but you know, there's >> there was a time in the Mediterranean where they were they were poisonous. They have strict nine in them. And it's one of the first domesticated plants.

And what people realized, whoever homo sapiens or Neanderthalss, whoever's wandering around, they're like, "The squirrels are eating those poisonous nuts from that tree." Huh? They're okay

from this one, not okay from that one. >> So they started cutting down and uprooting all the ones where the squirrels wouldn't eat. >> Oh, interesting.

>> Yeah. And so that's so the almond originally. >> This episode is brought to you by Wild Pastures. Here's a deal, folks. Wild Pastures delivers 100% grass-fed and

>> Relatively waterintensive crop eachund gallons of water per pound. That's so crazy. >> And then, >> oh my god,

>> here's here's my new like look, I'm a writer, right? So words matter to me and when we when we misuse them in our society, it just bothers me, right? So >> all these things that we're calling

milk, like almond almond milk, >> right? >> And I'm and I'm just determined to call it almond juice because that's what it [ __ ] is. It's not even almond juice.

It's not like we're extracting. >> It's almond tea almost. We're we're taking almonds, pulverizing them, and brining them in water, >> essentially leeching out the flavor of

the almond, and then adding a bunch of [ __ ] to it and sugar and whatever, >> adding a lot of sugar. My friend Duncan was like, "Dude, almond milk is good for you." I go, "You look at how much sugar

is in there?" And we were on the phone. He goes, "Holy shit." I go, "Yeah, man. That's why it tastes good." But my doctor told me I had oxalates in my diet, in my my blood test. He said,

"Your oxalates are kind of high." He goes, "Are you eating almonds?" And I said, 'Yeah, I eat almonds all the time.' He's like, "Yeah, cut back." He goes, "That's where it's from."

>> Really? >> Yeah. See, find out how much how much oxalates are in almonds. I just listen to them. And also, it's a lot of like um a lot of that gluten-free flour stuff.

>> If you buy a lot of that stuff, it's like almond flour a lot of the times, >> right? >> Almonds are a high oxalate food. Eating them can raise oxalate levels that

circulate, get filtered by the kidneys and appear in urine, which may increase kidney stone risk in susceptible people. Yeah, >> almonds contain about 296 milligs of

oxalate per 100 grams, roughly 4 milligrams per nut, putting them in the high oxilate category. Yeah. He said they're not bad if you just have them every now and then. He

goes, but don't don't do it on a regular basis. Huh. Yeah. There's a lot of stuff that is high oxilates that people don't think about it that can really [ __ ] you up. Kale,

for instance, like I used to drink kale smoothies all the time until another doctor told me, "You really should cook the kale. >> Cook it and then filter out whatever the

water's in it." And I go, "Really?" I go, "Why?" He goes, "Oxalates." He goes, "You want to cook the oxalates out of them." >> Really?

>> Yeah. And that's apparently what causes a lot of kidney stones with some folks. ly drink a lot of those green smoothies, which I used to do every day. I used to take a bunch of kale, throw in a bunch

of apples and some ginger and some garlic and blend it all up and drink at the beginning of the day. I thought I was doing a good thing. >> And he was like, "You're just blasting

your system with oxalates." And I was like, "Oh, all right." >> Yeah. >> Have some [ __ ] eggs, bro. >> He said, "Have bacon. Have some bacon."

I'm like, "Fucking bacon's better for you?" Like that. My journey of figuring out what to eat was a long one. It was a long one. And then thank god I got this podcast because if I hadn't had all

those conversations with people where I realized like oh so we're like and now the food pyramid's completely flipped which is hilarious. >> Yeah.

>> But it's like I've had enough conversations where I realize like oh all these people don't know what the [ __ ] they're talking about and they're giving advice and it's weird. It's weird

how much bad advice there is for food and for health and for >> [ __ ] fill in the blank almost everything in our society. >> The food pyramid was created by Johnson

and Johnson. Yeah. Or Kelloggs, which is like how do we get people to eat our [ __ ] in the morning and then again at lunch and then Well, the one thing that we can't control and they talk about the

the one thing that we do not have is this massive industrialized meat production because there's no there's no economical way to do it. They'd do it if they could. Harris Ranch, which you

you've probably seen off I5 in uh in California's the closest version of that. But what it is is a feed yard, right? Where you get them together and feed cattle for 90 to 150 days before

you go send them off and slaughter them, right? That's the closest thing there is to an industrialized beef industry because it's an very inefficient way. It's way better to farm, right? It's

more efficient to farm than it is grace cattle. So, you only want to graze cattle somewhere that you can't farm. At the end of the day, you want to graze cattle are great at taking protein from

poor protein sources and metabolizing it, right? So, graze them in real rocky terrain with native grasses that that you can't farm. You can't till it just can't. Um, and it needs to be eaten by

something or weeds will overtake it, right? Because grasses >> grass grows better when it's being grazed. Um, and so there's no way to industrialize that or centralize it. the

most centralized it is is at the packing house right where you've got four packing major packing houses um that control 90 something% of the beef industry and that's starting to change

co was extremely helpful for the smaller farmer and rancher to sit there and get their product out right and find small they start popping up people have opened these USDA facilities that that don't

process 800 head of cattle an hour they maybe do 50 or 50 a And now people can go there because they're a USDA facility. They can buy beef directly from them. Buy it from the

rancher, right? And you can control where your food's coming from as opposed to what what was happening um where you'd get a bunch of if you're going to go get a burger, you're you're eating

some Australian killer bull, right, for the most part or some something from Brazil or you're not eating something that you want to eat, right? Um, when you go to a nice steakhouse, the the

stakes there are they're going to come from most likely Texas uh Iowa Nebraska Montana. There's there's select areas where people are spending that kind of

attention and time to raise that kind of quality of beef, right? Um, and it's being done by smaller ranchers. It may be a big ranch, but it's still operated by relatively few people. You know, 4

sixes is 300,000 acres, but there's 12 cowboys. >> Wow. 12 cowboys for 300,000 acres is nuts. >> Yeah.

>> How do they keep track of everything? >> I mean, we break it down into pastures and then you have uh and then the pastures fall under the terminology is this. say, "Oh, if you're in Guthrie,

there's a there's a camp, and we we call it South Camp, um because it's in the south, and it's responsible for 50,000 acres, right? Which is broken down into multiple pastures that are between 7 and

10,000 acres. There's one big pastor in that in that camp that's like 14,000 acres." Um, and so then you have North Camp, you have what we call then we have camps around the town, little town of

Guthrie. So you break it down into the responsibility of each cowboys somewhere between 35 and 50,000 acres. Wow, that's a hell of a responsibility. >> Yeah,

>> that's a lot of work, man. >> A lot of work. What's it, you know what's really interesting about your shows, particularly Yellowstone, it got people like really attracted to the idea

of brutal hard work as being romantic. >> Yeah. >> You know, people like really identified with those guys on Yellowstone that were just like so dedicated to that ranch, so

dedicated to busting their ass and working all day hard [ __ ] work and then just hanging out together afterwards. And there's something about that life that's so simplistic and

romantic to people that it just really resonated with so many people. They didn't even know that they liked that. Well, it's it's uniquely American, right? And and the amount of freedom

that is. So, we move somebody out to South Camp and we go, "Okay, so here you are. There's your house at South Camp. See you in a week or so. Go figure [ __ ] out.

keep track of the cattle and you give them a string of horses and they work their horses and they and they ride that property. They know every inch of it and you don't ever you don't we don't we

don't have weekly corporate meetings. >> How do they get supplies? Is it is like the house stocked in advance? >> Yeah. Go to town, you know, towns which is an endeavor, right? Town's 90 miles

away. Um so you go to town once a week, right? Adventure, stock up, >> go back. >> Wow. >> Yeah. But it's it's

>> it's a crazy life >> and people incorrect. Not every this isn't true of every cowboy. There's plenty of cowboys that typically they grow up on that ranch and that's the

life that they know and that's what they want to do, right? But they still go off to college. Like almost every one of my cowboys has a ranch management degree. Like they went to school.

>> Wow. >> To study. >> What's a good school if you want to be a cowboy? >> I mean there's a quite a few of them.

Texas Tech. I mean, that's a phenomenal ranch management program. A bunch of the guys on the sixes went there. TCU has a ranch management program, a good one. Texas A&M. Um, you know, we have a we

have vets that live on the ranch. Obviously, we breed a ton of horses. Um, and so our vets, Colorado State's an excellent veterinary school for large animal vets. Obviously, Texas A&M is a

phenomenal school. Texas Tech as well. Those are >> Dude, how the [ __ ] do you pay attention to everything? You're running a gigantic ranch and you have about 48 TV shows.

How the [ __ ] do you do it? I don't understand it. I Every time a new Taylor Sheridan show pops up, I say to my wife, I go, "How the [ __ ] is he doing this?" Like, where does he have this time? Part

of it is, if you think about it, so my crew, my core crew is the same crew I made Wind River with, like when we had no money. I remember one time I'm on the top of a mountain with me and my first

AD and my DP, uh, Ben Richardson, and there's not a producer. We haven't seen anybody in a week. And I looked at, we're freezing our asses off at 7 below zero in northern Utah. And I'm like,

guys, you know, we could just [ __ ] off to Hawaii. Nobody would know for a while. Like, we have we have their we have their money. They don't know. They don't

actually know where we are. they're just trusting that we're going to make this movie, which we did. Um, and it was incredibly difficult. But that's the same team that went over and did

Yellowstone, which is then the same team that went up and did Mayor of Kingtown with me and then 1883, 23, Lionus, Land Man, all of them. And we've promoted from within. I've got PAs that are now

first ads. I've got uh camera operators that are now directors. Um, so we've promoted from within so everyone understands the way we do it and it's so faking efficient. We don't ever have and

you know because you've been in this industry forever. These people will have meetings upon meeting upon meeting. They'll have a they'll have a tone meeting where a

whole bunch of people are going to sit around and try and talk about the tone of the script. Wouldn't you read the [ __ ] thing? You We have to have a meeting about it.

How about we don't have a meeting about it? And then they'll have a they'll have a and this is also networks. They love this [ __ ] So that they can have a reason for their existence, right? All

these middle management people >> and they want to do a prop showand tell where someone's going to come show them all the props that we're going to use. >> Really?

>> Well, we don't do that [ __ ] because I'm like, I need your permission to use which which Bick lighter I'm going to use in this [ __ ] scene. How about I just make the decision? And how about we

use the same Bick lighter in all these [ __ ] shows and I don't ever have to pick a Bick lighter again. How about that? So, we just streamlined it and made it to where it's so efficient.

Typically, a TV show will start up and they'll prep for 12 weeks before they start filming. We We do it in four. Wow. Well, that makes sense. It makes sense that it's streamlined because I've

been on shows when they first start out and it's chaos and there's a lot of network involvement and there's a lot of [ __ ] but then once it gets going, they go, "Oh, you guys know what you're

doing." >> Yeah. >> Leave me alone. >> Yeah. >> Yeah.

>> We're there from the beginning now. >> That's beautiful. >> We haven't missed if you don't miss, >> right? Well, it's like you don't miss like you don't miss with the writing.

You don't miss with the story lines. Like you don't have any duds, man. Which is incred This is incredible. It's an incredible accomplishment to to have that many [ __ ] shows and all of them

be good and all of them be, you know, like very addictive. You know, Land Man is so addictive. >> It's it's that show. It's about something very serious and then I can

just throw [ __ ] at it. >> Yeah. Let's just take a bunch of old people to a strip club. >> Billy Bob is [ __ ] awesome. >> He's a genius.

>> I love that guy. He's so good on that show. It's like it was made for him. >> It was made for him. >> I mean, he's done so many things. I went to Billy Bob before I uh before I wrote

a word and I told him I said if you don't do this I'm not going to do it because I'm not going to chase my tail. >> He goes what is it? I said I want to do I said basically I want to take your

character from Bad Santa and put him in West Texas and run an oil company. >> He goes, "You want the guy from Bad Santa to run the oil company?" I said, "That's what I want." He goes, "That

sounds [ __ ] awesome." Yeah. >> Well, it's it's educational, too. I mean, a lot of people like have no idea how the oil business works. And you you

watch that show, you go, "Jesus Christ, what a crazy job." It's an insane job. And and and the other thing about it is we're so completely dependent upon petroleum in every single aspect of our

lives. So completely dependent upon it. And we can debate how bad it is or isn't and and and or not debate it. The reality is we don't have an alternative. Like it does not exist. It simply

doesn't exist. And we could sit there and say, "Well, wind and this." No. You sit down with any climatologist and any engineer, they're going to tell you, "Our best hope for a replacement of

petroleum fuels is cold fusion." And we're 30, 40 years from it, being something that we can rely upon >> and reduce little nuclear reactors, like itty bitties, like

>> the size of this coffee pot. >> That's what they're talking about. They're talking about like individual reactors that people have in their homes. Like, how long does it take

before there's disasters? Like, that sounds [ __ ] Having a really good nuclear power plant for a city is an awesome idea. Having everyone have their own nuclear power plant

sounds [ __ ] crazy. >> You know, >> how many [ __ ] are going to cut into that thing? >> Well, people still put [ __ ] metal in

microwaves, so I don't think we should be giving >> I've done it. I'm like, well, how bad can it really be? >> There's people that leave their [ __ ]

gas on so that someone can die in the house. No, we don't. >> People are nuts. >> People are nuts. If you literally have consumer level nuclear power plants,
