Chuck Yates Got A Job

H2S gets the Hollywood treatment, and let’s just say reality has some thoughts. The crew tears into how *Landman* portrays one of the oilfield’s most dangerous hazards, separating legit risks from TV-level exaggeration based on real-world experience. Along the way, the conversation veers into iconic Billy Bob Thornton one-liners, unhinged family drama, and the kind of business chaos that makes the show wildly entertaining, even when it stretches the truth. Equal parts industry reality check and group chat-style commentary, it’s honest, funny, and exactly how people who’ve actually been around the patch talk about this stuff.

What is Chuck Yates Got A Job?

Welcome to Chuck Yates Got A Job with Chuck Yates. You've now found your dysfunctional life coach, the Investor Formerly known as Prominent Businessman Chuck Yates. What's not to learn from the self-proclaimed Galactic Viceroy, who was publicly canned from a prominent private equity firm, has had enough therapy to quote Brene Brown chapter and verse and spends most days embarrassing himself on Energy Finance Twitter as @Nimblephatty.

0:00 Hey everybody, welcome to the deep dive on land man that nobody asked for. And we ducked up last week and didn't get an episode done. So we're going to try to back to back it on on this week.

0:14 Hopefully we'll get it all covered or we'll just all mess it up. So anyway, I, I'm pretty excited about talking about these two episodes. A

0:16 lot of cool stuff, but Gates, why don't you kick us off? Starting off with the hunting scene in episode three, we had the guys and everybody kind of knew what was about to go down. I think it

0:36 was

0:39 watching that has any experience out in the oil field and watching that scene.

0:48 I don't, I've never actually been out on a location when somebody has gotten H2S exposure or poisoning But. It seemed to me a little odd that that guy starts coughing and falls down and all of a

1:08 sudden everybody gets up and runs over there and they all fall down and everybody's just instantly dead. And then we move on to the crew going out to look at the well and you know, the guy yelling

1:21 about there's the tank over there and all of that I know

1:27 H2S is a huge, very serious issue in our industry and a byproduct of producing oil and gas. And so I think it's great that they kind of clued that in a little bit. But I think it may have been a

1:47 little exaggerated and not fully explained what was going on to anybody that doesn't have experience in the industry Matt, you're bored. fill out some more stuff because I've been out there and

2:02 heard stories about H2S. One, it is that deadly. And two, they always said, if the alarm starts going off, you run into the wind. So that way the wind is blowing the H2S away. But I don't know

2:17 much more than that. How realistic was that saying? Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

2:25 I think generally, it's very deadly. I think generally

2:34 it was probably fairly accurate, but I don't have a lot of experience with I've never been on location dealt with H2S and had the monitors and that sort of thing. But from my understanding, it's

2:47 definitely a serious issue, especially if you've got winds going. So Chuck, I think what that is probably pretty accurate. I do think that we didn't. spend any time talking about the fact that

2:60 they, those guys were out there hunting the boar.

3:06 The bastards.

3:10 They got what they fucking deserved. They could get him.

3:16 That was the boar magic coming for him.

3:20 Yeah, I'm the same way. I don't have a lot of experience with H2S, but I've heard that same thing, I can't jump, run into the wind. But I've gone out to I don't know how many different wells and

3:32 I don't know if it's hot to take a look at meters and seeing if a well is still producing to see if the lease is still good. And I kind of feel like I fucking idiot now because I'm going kind of

3:41 mighty. Could I have kicked that fast if some shit-ass operator had some H2S? I mean, I guess, suppose that could have happened to me. I mean,

3:52 not to make it about me here, But it's certainly kind of looking at my younger years like. God almighty, you fucking idiot, you know, thinking about that in West Texas, geez. I've been on a lot

4:03 of well sites over my years and I never had an H2S monitor out there or anything. And, you know, I just never really even thought about it. Yeah, I haven't either. Again, this is one of those

4:16 things where it happens in the industry, but of course Taylor Sheridan's gonna highlight it

4:23 and,

4:31 you know, make sure the body count is through the roof 'Cause we gotta have people dying on every episode. Every episode, every fucking episode.

4:34 Jumping around a little bit, but I mean, it's every episode something, there's like a death in the company, which is becoming way too unrealistic 'cause a company their size couldn't get insurance.

4:46 You know, like that many accidents and deaths to happen does not happen. And if it does, you're fucked. I mean, you're not operating anymore. It's not as bad as last season, though. last

4:56 season, that body count was getting up there. M Texas like in death. I think we talked about that last season too and how it kind of painted an unfair picture of what the safety standards are in

5:08 the industry. 'Cause they're, I mean, they are very heightened to the point that these type of things would shut down a company for some period of time. So yeah, let's maybe credit that to drama

5:23 but I think that's a pretty unfair depiction of the industry as it stands. I don't know. Joshua Pollard has suffered many tragic deaths in the oil industry over his, you know, JD decades in the

5:38 industry.

5:41 I mean, we are a very risky industry. We do take safety very, very seriously but we are not Bonnie Blue. You know, it's not a thousand dudes in 24 hours, it's just not, it's just not. Most of

5:59 the deaths in the oil industry are a result of some sort of negligence, not necessarily by the person who actually perished. A lot of times it was somebody that was not taking care of their job with

6:14 equipment and things like that And so the show definitely does add the risk element and I think it's going to ramp up a little bit more of the second we start doing some offshore drilling. Yeah,

6:29 that's going to get crazy. Okay, but real quick, since we

6:36 jumped into the scene about H2S, we did kind of pass

6:43 over Billy Bob Thornton and the wife being in the car. the attempt at a blowjob, it not happening. And Billy Bob getting off my all time favorite line in this episode. No talking for at least an

6:58 hour after a botched blowjob. My head's so fucked up, I don't know what I'm doing.

7:04 I love that Rebecca was still on the phone for that line too. That was so great. The lawyer, the lawyer. I was really disappointed though. That state trooper getting on the loudspeaker, I could

7:17 write you a citation

7:21 Yeah, that's funny. All right, so, okay, I've decided, and this is like combining episodes. After episode four, which we'll talk about in a little bit, I really like Maria. Maria is starting,

7:35 I think she and Cooper have the sexual tension of McNeil and liar. I mean, it's bad, but I really like Maria And, um. but I don't get this whole thing of her going to work in the patch at the bar.

7:52 Ariana, is her neighbor, yeah, Ariana. Yeah, you're right. It's Ariana Medina. So yeah. That's the first time Chuck's ever forgotten a woman's name. Exactly.

8:04 Actually, I have a great story. I'll tell you, I was out with the Montrose Lane guys getting drinks and we bumped into this beautiful girl and I was too margarita zen, so that is prime Chuck I had

8:18 my mojo with me, I went and hit on her and she was falling for my BS that night and everything was going. I drove her back to the hotel and I thought I'm getting my invite upstairs and so I'm like

8:36 about to hand the keys to the valet. She leans in whispers in my ear, tell me my name and you can come upstairs and I'm like, Shit.

8:48 I forgot.

8:52 I didn't even guess. I was just like, damn it. I forgot. And she was like, well better like next time cowboy, so

9:02 you know, like next time, write a name on your, like, hand and like it. He said cheat sheet

9:11 All right, Matt, what do you think about Ariana going to work in the patch?

9:18 I mean, she just got a million dollar settlement, right? Yeah, but for some reason just got to keep working, right? I don't know. I thought I was a decent, a decent ad. I mean, I don't know

9:31 what sort of background she has outside of being able to be a bartender, but I mean, I think anyone, whether you're a genius Whether you're a GED or lack of high school diploma or anything,

9:43 anything may may take up working. from behind the bar there, although working from behind the bar in the Permian may be more dangerous than taking a field job. So,

9:58 you know, there is how one composed it to it, but the dollar seemed pretty lucrative. So, and - Yeah, I think the strippers do real well out there too.

10:11 Yeah, no, that was, there was some good line about the patches, the super bowl of tips, I think was the line. So,

10:22 all right, so the other kind of woman thing we have going on in this episode that we gotta talk about at least a little bit is Billy Bob Thornton's wife, Ally Larter, she wants the big house in

10:36 Fort Worth. Yeah, she's just unrealistic. And I mean, the house is, so the company is like struggling, like never before, no one can figure out where any money is to pay for anything.

10:49 And, you know, I guess Billy Bobbitt is a man of a few words when it comes to things like that. So he doesn't tell her like things are not good, but she's out trying to buy a multi-million dollar

10:57 house and doesn't give a shit. You know, she's just like a child, although she has a big heart. She wants to take care of everyone all the time, but it's pretty ridiculous. His houses are badass.

11:07 Yeah, man. That I do like it. Maybe he can end up in Monty's house, you know, since it's going up on the market They could all just live together, TL, and Cammy, and Angela, and Cooper. And

11:24 Andy Martin. Andy Martin. He's coming. Help Tonal his way in. Yeah. That's right. All right. So, Matt, be finance bro here. How realistic is it that Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. are

11:43 loaning money for the operating expenses of all these companies and the revenue is all going to some old co and disappearing.

11:52 I mean, I think it's always, even in an uncomplicated situation, it's always complicated, it seems like in this industry. So, you know, when they started talking about that and how they had the

12:05 hold co and the revenue was going to this other place and that, But yeah, I mean, a lot of times it's usually, especially this day and age after multiple ups and downs. It's, that's fairly

12:23 unrealistic, I think, in terms of what's going on. But hey, let's go back to late 2000s, you know, early 2000s,

12:34 up through 2015, or maybe 2013, like - an opportunity was missed to tie in Arthur Anderson.

12:44 You know, they very easily could have explained all of this with just, hey, the accounting firm is a bunch of guys that came out Arthur Anderson, you know,

12:54 would tie everything up with a nice little Enron colored bow. Well, you know what the crazy thing was, is if you made partner at Arthur Anderson, you basically borrowed your buy-in for the

13:10 partnership from Arthur Anderson. And like, so people that became partner in a year later, Arthur Anderson's tits up 'cause of the whole Enron debacle, those guys still owed the partnership that

13:26 money. That was not an obligation that got dismissed under bankruptcy. It was an asset of Arthur Anderson. So I know people that actually had to pay that thing off and go get another job to do it.

13:43 Yeah, that was horrible. But the other thing too about those lines of credit, like the investment banks will give you lines of credit, but they do it against publicly traded stock. So if you're

14:01 CEO of Company X, and it's publicly traded and you have stock, they'll give you reg U loans. And that's where the money comes. I've never seen Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley actually make a loan

14:14 to an operating company. Well, they did with Kate Richards, you know, Warwick, she got like a billion bucks out of Goldman, but that's where she came out of in New York. Oh, no, no, no, no,

14:25 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

14:27 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

14:28 Don't don't get me. Look, all right.

14:32 What thing I thought was interesting is they said on the offshore source that in the guy that's getting beat up in the club, that lawyer, Alan,

14:43 You know, everybody's trying to figure out where the money is, which we still don't know. And he's like, the offshore accounts that flow into private equity, that was one of the things he kind of

14:52 said, it was kind of trailing off as, you know, an offshore drilling company out of Nassau that flows into private equity. What the fuck is going on I? don't know. I mean, maybe we'll, you

15:05 know, this could be one of those things that they're just kind of throwing around terms, like they didn't do enough research or not, or it all comes together when they finally have that meeting

15:12 with Alan that they talk about. Like Monday, they're going to Tommy's office or whatever. Where the fuck is Tommy's office? By the way, is it in Fort Worth or is it Midland? I think it's the

15:23 living room in the rent house. That's what it seems to me, and I guess we're going to get this Alan guy to drive to that living room and hang out with Ainsley and Angela and whatever, I don't know.

15:34 Well, I'm excited for the Wall Street Journal to start calling all of us asking for interviews

15:41 private equity outflows from offshore drilling companies based in Nassau, because I am 100 just give them the exact story they want and host a print. Yeah,

15:57 that's perfect.

15:60 Like, hey, my partner is credit to the Bahamas to go collect our offshore earnings, you know?

16:07 Just what I need, my name in the Wall Street Journal again with offshore private equity

16:15 accounts, yeah. Yeah, you know, I will say this. So when Billy Bob Thornton busts into that club to basically crack the bottle over the lawyer's head to shake him up, I love his rat-a-tat with

16:32 the guy Bob that's like the waiter, except that's not his name. Boner. Yeah, boner It's kind of like, well, I'm just gonna call you Bob. And by the way, Bob, this is what clubs are for.

16:44 Nobody wants to be throwing shit at your attorney in a restaurant in front of people.

16:51 He said, Bauner, that sounds like a fucking beach town. Yeah, exactly. Nobody likes the chattel tail, Bob.

16:60 I'm just coughing up along over here. Perfect. That guy recovered from that bottle pretty quick. I was surprised. He must be working out and doing a lot of like crossfit or, you know, Brazilian

17:13 Jiu-Gitsu or some shit like that because, man, if somebody cracks a bottle over my head, I'm not gonna be standing like that. Well, you know what it is. It's probably 'cause he's a big time

17:27 lawyer, making1, 500 an hour or whatever. So he's gonna bill 'em for it. So pop back up.

17:35 He's motivated. So, Matt, give me your take on, Andy Garcia and the wives and kind of doing that, that whole scene where they wind up having drinks. And they give me the warden's take on it. We

17:50 got two scenes where that kind of happens, right? On both episodes where it's really just the end of the, end of the first or end of, is it episode

18:00 three? Yeah, episode three. And then we've got the situation where it was to me and the two of them in episode four So, I mean, it seems like that's a curated effort that he has on his part in

18:13 order to be able to

18:16 not only work the male side of thing, but the female side of business too. So it seems to work to their benefit a good bit and definitely worked in their favor in episode three 'cause as we saw in

18:33 four, you know, basically he was like, You know, we got a deal, but I want to talk to Tommy about this. You know, so I think, you know, there's, there's a husband and wife duo that's really

18:48 working to try and facilitate a business relationship more so than anything else. It seems like was I reading too much into it, but it kind of felt like everybody having drinks edged Tommy a little

19:06 bit towards Andy Garcia where, you know, definitely time zero Billy Bob's like, you let my son borrow that money just so that he would fuck up and, you know, you think I would owe you and blah,

19:21 blah, blah, started calling each other bad names and stuff, but it did seem like, okay, maybe there's a deal that's going to happen here When,

19:32 you know, it's always, I guess, an example of business, maybe not, probably as much an

19:39 go grab some drinks or go meet in-person face-to-face to talk something out. I'm sure the drinks were definitely beneficial in that part of it. But yeah, there's a whole ploy there by Andy Garcia

19:55 in terms of what's going on. But I think he's playing it well. That was interesting that he was screaming at Tommy in his office about that thing that I saved you from could happen again at any

20:10 moment. And we all thought he was saving Tommy because that was like, hey, you guys shouldn't be doing this. I didn't realize that that was a move to further get his hooks into M-TEX and

20:28 everything that Tommy was doing

20:32 at the time, last season. Yeah, it appears that that's the, what they're moving this tour is that it was all premeditated. But man, Andy Garcia, they're sure making him Danny Morel, I

20:44 guess, they're making him sure, making him seem like a good dude, aren't they? Like a warm, just there for you kind of guy, offers you a hell of a deal. I mean, if they twist him into being

20:56 the bad guy that he is, it's gonna be a weird twist 'cause he's taking such a like fatherly, grandfatherly tone on all this, being so kind to everyone, got the sweetest wife. And, you know,

21:08 I've been, I got caught up in a Ponzi scheme when I was like 19, and it was a husband and wife duo, okay? I had a small life insurance policy that I got from my dad, nothing. This guy took it

21:20 all, ended up back at zero. And it was a husband and wife duo, and he was like, totally got my wife and my girlfriend at the time, who I was living with. And I all, you know, wrapped up

21:32 together, and it seemed like it couldn't go wrong. And I guess con people or people that are deleterious and they're motives are just really good at it. But gosh, they sure are making Andy Garcia

21:43 seem like a good dude in this. Reminds me of Christmas vacation when he's like walking through the store with Clark and Kazanetti and he's like, if only we had that money back from that preacher,

21:55 we gave that money to on the TV out of the toilet. And he goes, Well, what about the quids? And he goes, Well, I don't give a shit about his kids

22:08 It's a great scene. That's awesome. But

22:13 I hate to do this 'cause we've been warned about the sexual innuendo in this podcast, but the close of episode three when they're in the car together and they have this little fight, but then, you

22:29 know, Oh, you're calling me your wife I love you so much And so she does give him the blowjob. Billy Bob's line of, Hey, sweetie, it's a pop circle, not a snow cone.

22:43 Yeah, I mean, she didn't even - She didn't even -

22:46 He didn't even propose to her. You know, she

22:51 was like, if you're asking me, she's like, Yes, fuck yes. He's like, What, what happened?

22:58 So yeah, now I thought, and so let's jump to episode four I will say this, like big picture. I don't even think episode four had anything to do with the oil and gas business. It was just a human

23:14 drama story. And I think it was as good human drama as I've seen on TV in a long time. I mean, I think Billy Bob Thornton telling the story of his mom and the dad telling the story about that. I

23:31 thought that was really good. good stuff and kind of actually added some clarity

23:39 to the characters and who they are. I really liked it. Cooper not taking that stupid hat off irritated the fuck out of me and distracted me from that entire scene. Agreed. Yeah, you don't wear a

23:53 hat to a funeral. But to Chuck's point, I, you know, looking back, I think I looked at that episode and I said, there's a lot of dead space, like, I feel like we just didn't get a lot of plot

24:05 development. It was slow. But then when you, when I took some time and looked back, you, you, you, those, those time periods where you thought you had dead space were actually pretty good,

24:18 you know, material type

24:22 scenes and, and there was solid engagement in them. At least there wasn't any lawn mower montage. I appreciate that but also

24:31 Rebecca's deal on the plane, that was fun to watch her get hammered on watermelon vodka. But do you think she's developing maybe a little love interest with her, you know, oil field bro on the

24:46 plane? The Australian, uh,

24:51 righand, yeah, I don't know. I mean, I enjoyed Rebecca more than I thought I ever would. Like, she came alive a little bit, she showed a soul, you know, she got scared for once and she got

25:01 drunk and bang that dude and at least she's showing a life, God. More importantly, she showed her butt. We got to see her butt. I froze on that scene for a while. Man, it was, it was, it was

25:16 worth it. I figured you guys, Gates completely stole thunder out of Chuck, Chuck had that like big and bold and his list of things to discuss So

25:28 we took that for them. I will say like the drama, the drama came strong with the 70 mile, 70 mile per hour headwinds and just the, you know, the ridiculous, the ridiculous nature of figs on the

25:44 airplane were just hilarious. That jet took off in like 80 feet, which is really fucking impressive. I was like, feeling Musk's rocket. Who's playing is that? What the fuck is going on with this

25:57 plane? Like, it's a private jet that's taking randos out there. Did someone pick up on, it's not JSX. I think it's a company plane. It's been holidays flight to Midland that we're gonna be doing

26:09 next year. Wow, yeah, that

26:16 was good. But

26:18 the, I will say this though, I did love and we've kind of already talked about it and touched on it, but I loved Andy Garcia. and Demi Moore having lunch and her asking to do a deal and financing

26:33 it and his whole metaphor of snakes being cannibals and that snakes only deal with snakes and I loved how he said, I can't do a deal with you, it's not because you're a woman, it's because you're

26:48 not a snake. I did like that, so you're opening it back into Tommy Yeah, it's totally in, you know, Tommy for some reason or another, shared with Cammy that this guy's a, you know, drug lord,

27:07 it seems like that would have been one of the first things I told her, maybe even like as she's approaching the table, hey, this guy's a big ass drug lord, go ahead and have a seat. It doesn't

27:16 seem like there's very much communication going on between Tommy and Cammy so far in this evening. I think that's probably fair. Do you think he's trying to shield her? What's, or what do you

27:31 think's going on with that? I haven't quite figured that out yet. I know that Kami wants to try to make her own way and not defer everything over to Tommy, but he's certainly not communicating well

27:48 with her either. So

27:51 I don't know Whenever you have the chain of command communication breakdown, drama is gonna happen. So it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. Yeah, totally. So, hey, Matt, one other

28:06 scene I wanna make sure we talked about before we wrap up is, I actually kinda liked Demi Moore going out to see Monty or John Hamm's grave. I thought that was kinda cool. Well, that was a good

28:21 scene I mean, which she took a bottle of, I mean. I don't copy more, but bottle of Pappy and just pour it out. I was like - 2, 000 bottle. We're bringing Monty back in the picture. I mean, I

28:35 do think some of the - there are some scenes that are a little bit - you know, she's remembering things where she's laying in bed

28:45 and pretending he's there. She's the end of that second episode where she's like, you know, in the backyard, just crying by the pool, this money. So yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't have much more

29:01 to say about it other than that.

29:04 You're poking at something else there to cover, buddy. What was Monty doing with all of the money? What do you all think? I have no idea. What money?

29:17 That seems to be where the drama is going to come in. I mean, one of the many drama points, kind of the twist dramas, where the money was, where it was going, why it was offshore. I mean, they

29:27 had good revenue, but Monty's talked about it being a billion dollar a year revenue company. And so there is revenue, but where the hell is it going? And then the thing that's confusing is they

29:38 talk about a probate judge potentially sending all of this to an IRS auditor. Is that something that happens? I

29:49 don't know that I've seen that exactly in the probate process. That's estate stuff. I mean, money died, so his will, the IRS is going to come look at that estate. I mean, if you're as rich as

30:05 money is, and so I think that's where it is. It's not so much an oil and gas thing as a rich guy dying thing. Well, it sounds like money wasn't that rich actually. Well, I don't think so when

30:19 they say it's in that offshore account, maybe we're going to find that out. And the weird thing is, why would the lawyer be hiring them? If the offshore account flooded into private equity, that

30:30 money's gone.

30:34 Right.

30:35 That money got me down a hole in Guyana or something. Yeah, that's right.

30:42 And you're making those hurdles. And it's weird that the lawyer wouldn't mess up to where it is You know, that's another thing. That's it. He's avoiding the calls. They've been calling. He

30:54 wouldn't just say where it was. And they've been calling him for days. Why would he be avoiding it? Like, there's something going on there. You've been avoiding it. But also said, I thought we

31:03 would meet when y'all are ready to talk. Like, we've been calling, you motherfucker. Yeah, exactly. All right. Well, we got a lot to do. All right So final thought, whatever you want in

31:17 terms of kind of a take off. I'll just run around the loop or give us a final thought or something. My final thought is that Rebecca has kind of done a 180 in my mind. Like, I'm not totally, she

31:34 can't redeem herself. She's kind of awful. But to be showing live in Ariana, whoa,

31:45 sorry, Donna is not at all in my opinion. Like, she's insane. She's kind of retarded. Like, she doesn't tell Cooper what the problem is. Cooper didn't ever ask her to, like, root her life or

31:58 anything. He didn't say any of that. She was like, Fuck you, leave. And then, you know, when he comes back, she's like, Next time I kick you out, you figured out and you apologize. It's

32:09 like, they're retarded. Yeah, fair point. Fair point. All right, Matt, give us something So dad. I guess Sam comes to live, comes back to live with them in the house and the other one. So I

32:23 think there's still, there's obviously an effort there by telling me to try and have that live out is the rest of his days and some sort of, you know, nice, nice place. So there's that hanging

32:41 out. We didn't really get a lot of development as to what's going on

32:45 with that

32:48 I think we didn't talk about this. I don't want to belabor it, but the first scene is in Episode 4 with

32:58 the oil taker, which was barely through the location. That was interesting, which we know that ends up being an M-tex problem. But yeah, I think

33:09 final thoughts were, that was probably one of the slower, but I think still a pretty worthwhile.

33:16 That worthwhile episode, and I'm excited for what's to come. There's definitely a lot of questions of the air, so which way this thing goes. That was a very nice, newly re-rocked location for a

33:32 single well-head and a tank battery. 15 feet away from the pump jack. That

33:41 was a very well-maintained location. Whoever did that, who did it?

33:46 So to Gates' point, though, the wreck was still a horrible montage scene to the Georgia satellites, so come on, Taylor. All right, all right, Gates, you got a final thought. I mean, I'm

34:02 excited to see more development on the business front, where the hell was money putting all of this money. Hopefully they own an oil field. offshore in South America or something and we get to see

34:20 Tommy Norris go try to speak Spanish to a bunch of people and rough some dudes up in a cantina somewhere. But aside from that, they are finally actually developing the rest of the stories about the

34:36 family history and all of that. I think they are spending a lot of time on that. But that is kind of Taylor Sheridan's whole MO. He is going to continue to build on the story behind everything else

34:53 that is happening. Meanwhile, we are all sitting here wondering what is actually going on with the company aside from more people dying or almost dying. I'll say this. I kind of alluded to it

35:08 earlier. I actually was watching episode four on my plane back from Tulsa this morning. And I got a little teary when Tommy told the story of basically saving his mom's life. And then she went in

35:23 and poured herself another cocktail. And I know Tommy's not falling for the story from his dad about why he loved mom so much. But the whole thing about demons run faster than rainbows, I mean,

35:43 that kind of got to me So I was totally in on all that. I was a little weepy and ready for episode five. So cool guys. Well, everybody have a good weekend.

36:01 I'm doing a holiday. I'm doing two holiday parties on Saturday. So it is the season. Well, have fun. Enjoy the weekend for me. I can't do shit I'll be praying for all of you guys. Alright,

36:16 we'll shake that. I want the, I want Gates, your kiddos to get to feeling better. Boy, I want you to get to, uh, to feel them better and some Matt and I will carry on for everybody this weekend.

36:29 Well,

36:31 yeah, we'll have a good one

36:33 Welcome to the oil mystery here on the land.
