Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hello, Welcome back to the Official Yellowstone Podcast. A very
very happy holiday to you, and thanks for being here.
My name is Jefferson White. I play Jimmy on a
Yellowstone and I'm joined as always by Jen Landon Teeter. Hey, Jeff, Jen,
thanks for being here.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, it's nice to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
So whatever holiday it is you celebrate, we're so grateful
that you're celebrating with us. Thank you for being here.
We're gonna jump into it and keep catching up after
this quick break.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Jeff, are you a holiday person?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
You know, I don't think of myself as a particular
holiday person, but I love gathering. I love seeing family.
I love gathering with family, So that's that's a benefit
of it.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I love the family aspect and I love the coming
together aspect.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I would say that you have a sort of Christmas
energy year round. Maybe that you know the joy and
sort of good humor with which you greet the day.
It's always Christmas in your heart. I would say one
of the great things about this show is the community, obviously,
and we do absolutely cherish the community of the show,
and after five years, the community of this show feels
like a family. Like I've been talking about Yellowstone with
(01:29):
my Instagram followers for five years, which is I think,
like authentically a really beautiful thing. There's like a lot
of the way in which, you know, the conversation on
social media allows us to connect with people is an
incredible gift. So what we wanted to do as part
of this extra special super Fan episode is includes some
questions that we see recurring on social media. So, Jen,
(01:54):
I may I pose to you a question?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yes, Jeff, may I pose the same question back to you?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I hope you will.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Great.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
So some of you and I have talked about a lot, Jen,
something that gets brought up in a lot of interviews
if you watch Yellowstone, you know at press and publicity
materials is Cowboy Camp the sort of legend of Cowboy Camp.
It's a phrase that we toss around as though anybody
knows what we're talking about. Jin, will you tell us
about Cowboy Camp? Will you specifically tell us about your
(02:24):
experience of Cowboy Camp?
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, Well, Jeff, as you know, I came in season
three and I missed out even on that third season
Cowboy Camp. So you have some epics stories to share
after this about the first three Cowboy Camps. But my
first official Cowboy Camp was going into season four and
it was six days I believe, of training and different
(02:56):
sort of obstacles, every thing from everything, frankly, from balancing
an egg on a spoon while you ride. That was
my least favorite. I'm still mad at that event, to
sorting cattle to racing and on the final day we
(03:19):
would have a competition and we'd be broken up into
teams and we would compete and it would be about
who would win. What I do know is that apparently
Cowboy Camp for nineteen twenty three, or maybe it was
for eighteen eighty three was this incredibly warm, supportive environment
in which people really cheered each other on. And that
(03:42):
is not the way it is on Yellowstone. It is
highly competitive. People are out for blood. I think that
we started out in season one.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
It started out warm and supportive. We were all, you know,
strangers in it together. I think most of the listeners
of this podcast know by now that when I started Yellstone,
I had never touched a horse in my life. This
was all extremely new to me, and so Cowboy Camp
the first time around was this incredible sort of overnight
pack adventure with a mule train. There was a sort of.
(04:15):
We had these incredible mule guides who took us up
on the side of a mountain and we stayed overnight
and just spent our days kind of riding through these mountains,
practicing various skills, cooking out by the campfire. It was
a really amazing experience, to be honest, with a cast
(04:35):
iron pan, just sort of cooking on a campfire. So
it really was an incredible sort of immersive experience. And
it was also the first time we'd all met each other,
you know, so I hopped, I flew in, hopped in
an suv, popped out on the other side, and met
Jake Reem for the first time. They stuck me on
a horse right next to Colehauser, my first time on
(04:57):
a horse, first time meeting coal, and we trad trapsed
up the side of a mountain to reunite with the
rest of the cast who had gotten there the day before.
So it was a really wild sort of experience getting
to know each other, which was a huge bonding agent
going into that first season. You know, going into the
first season at Yellowstone, none of us knew what the
(05:18):
show was going to be. We had one script, you know,
we had the episode one script. We didn't know what
our futures held. It was a real sort of leap
of faith for all of us and this sort of
shared commitment to this journey we were going to go on.
You know, it was a really pretty amazing experience. This
(05:38):
was also, you know, it was before Yellowstone was this
massive phenomenon.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
This year, since we didn't get you at Cowboy Camp
and you got to go down to the Four Sixes.
I heard from Taylor, I heard from True who works
for the Four Sixes, that they.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Sort of put you through.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
You sort of went through the paces the same way
they would working that ranch, and that you held your
own and then some and everyone was sort of blown
away by you.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
That's really nice of them to say, really, you know.
So season four of Yellowstone, Jimmy gets sent off to
the Four Sixes, which was the first time I experienced
that ranch. You know, it's an incredible, real working cattle ranch,
and the guys who live there and work there are
the best in the world. They are they have sort
(06:31):
of made lifelong commitments to this craft, to this culture,
and they are the best cowboys in the world pretty
pretty literally. So you know, for them to have to
put up with me demonstrates that they're also incredibly patient
because these guys their job isn't to babysit an actor.
(06:52):
Their job is to manage the cattle on this ranch.
You know, they have an incredible amount of responsibility that
they are constantly living up to. So season five of Yellowstone,
I regrettably couldn't make it to the formal cowboy camp,
which I was terrified about because the last thing you
(07:13):
want to do is tell Taylor that you can't make it,
especially because like it's such a valuable bonding exercise. But
you know, not, unlike Jimmy, I had this experience of
going off by myself down to the four sixes with
Tailor and participating in a real sort of gathering and
branding that they were doing down there, which was amazing.
It was the best practice in the world. It was basically,
(07:36):
you know, some of the stuff you guys are doing
in season five, these massive gathers, massive brandings. It was
that without cameras on one of the biggest, oldest cattle
ranches in America, you know. So I had the just
absolutely transcendently beautiful experience of waking up before the sun rose,
you know, loading horses onto trailers, unloading them functionally in
(07:56):
the middle of nowhere. The four sixes is the size
of a county. It's a massive It's like wilderness in
pretty much the truest sense. It's wilderness. And you formed
this huge cowboy dragnet and I would look to my
left and look to my right, and the sun hadn't
risen yet, so I couldn't see anybody else, and I
was just sort of riding through the sage brush by
(08:18):
myself with no cameras around, gathering, gathering, uh, you know,
cowcaf pairs.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Did you love it?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It was a and I did.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Did you love it? And do you miss it?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I loved it very much and I do miss it.
It was It was probably the first time I've had
on the show well, the experience of working on Yelliston
over the last five years where I didn't feel like
I was auditioning because there was no one else around,
like you know, I had. I've never really been on
a horse by myself before. I've been supervised by trainers,
supervised by our wranglers. This was kind of the first
(08:52):
time in my life I was on a horse by myself.
And then we did the branding. You know, we did
a fucking branding, which is a wild deal. That's a
for layman like me. I'm I'm like, in real life,
I'm closer to Summer than i am to Teeter, you
know what I mean. Like, Summer's character is probably the
closest analog to me in real life because she's from
out of town and she's never seen this before. So
(09:13):
all of a sudden, I'm like wrestling with calves on
the floor of of you know, this dirt these dirt pins.
It's three hundred calf cow pairs, and you know, you're
kind of doing jiu jitsu on these cows, trying to
hold them down so they can be castrated and inoculated.
It's gnarly, it's pretty metal, to be honest, but it's
(09:33):
also our job, you know. So it was a it
was a really unique experience that I probably never otherwise
would have had, And that was my Cowboy camp for
season five.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So that kind of brings us to our next question
from our audience. But before we get into that, we're
going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
(10:04):
So before the break, Jeff, you were talking about these
times when we reached something. We hit a moment that
is so sort of physically exhausting on some level that's
hard that we've never experienced before. And one of the
questions that we got from social media from the audience
was they were curious what our favorite scene was to
(10:25):
record and what the hardest scene was for us to record.
So I'm wondering, if Jeff, what was your hardest scene
and what was your favorite scene? And maybe they are
one and the same.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, I mean, I mean my favorite scenes prior to
season four were always the bunk house scenes. You know,
I really loved working with y'all, who I have really
become a sort of family at this point. It's just
the opportunity to like tease each other and mess around
and keep it light. Was it was always so fun
on a show that can be so heavy. In season four,
I got to I got to sort of have responsibility
(10:59):
on the show way I never had before. You know,
part of Jimmy's journey is that he's a he is
a moron and does not deserve responsibility and sort of
hands himself over to people who are take responsibility for him.
You know, Rip takes responsibility for him. John Dutton takes
responsibility for him the rest of the bunk house does.
(11:19):
In season four, for the first time, Jimmy sort of
has to take responsibility for himself. And that's also really
true of my experience of shooting it. You know. So
in season four, we went down to Texas on a
splinter unit to shoot at the Sixes, and it was
like a it was like shooting a completely different show.
You know. It was like this gorilla unit. It was
a smaller, nimbler crew. Taylor was directing all of it,
(11:43):
and it was just this very intimate, different style of
filmmaking in which I sort of had a lot of responsibility,
like I had to kind of this. This was we
were making this like weird little splinter unit movie, and
that was an incredible experience. It's creatively because it was
you know, it just mirrors the character's experience. There's this
(12:04):
sort of self actualization that Jimmy experiences when he goes
down to the sixes, and I sort of experienced the
same thing as an actor, Like I went down to
the sixes and all of a sudden, you know, I
had to run with the football a little bit, and
that was a real honor and a challenge and an
incredible gift that I'll never forget. Like working on that
season four for six's stuff, me and Kat Kelly were
(12:28):
sort of the only actors surrounded by a bunch of cowboys.
With Taylor there directing us, we were also moving fast.
There is at least one scene that we did literally
one take of, one take, one setup like that, the
scene when Jimmy drops Emily off at her house and
they kissed for the first time. The sun was setting.
(12:48):
It was a magic hour scene and we did one take,
one take, one setup done. That's incredible, which was yeah,
and it was like that kind of moment, you know,
that's like as an actor, there's a scene, you know,
in Yellowstone season five, Ryan describes this big cattle drive
as like the super Bowl or the grand old Opera
of being a cowboy. As an actor, moments like that
(13:10):
are sort of our super Bowl. It's like, hey, you know,
there's no time left. This thing's going to exist forever.
Whatever scene we shoot right now is going in Yellowstone
and it's going to exist forever, and we only get
to do it one time. Role camera, role, sound, let's go,
you know. So those moments are like incredibly exhilarating and
(13:34):
exhausting and challenging, but they're really like why we do this.
To a certain extent, that kind of pressure is such
a gift because you have no choice but to really
live in the moment when the moment is so precious.
And then the hardest stuff I've shot is like, you know,
some of these days, like you experienced this over and
over again this season, these days when you're really just
kind of working the ranch, like you know, these days
(13:56):
when you're driving cattle, when you're you know, branding like
your work, you're kind of just working a fourteen hour
day as though you are a cowboy. But there's also
a camera, you know, on a long lens, just watching
your every movement for fourteen hours, which, oh, nothing is
more exhausting than like doing your job. But you also
(14:18):
can't relax for fourteen hours because the camera is on
you for fourteen hours.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
For me, the most grueling days and the hardest days
are different. So the most grueling days are yeah, long days,
pushing cows, no bathroom around, I mean really, as a female,
that's interesting, but they're not my hardest days. Oddly, my
hardest days are bunk house days as much as I'm
happy to see everyone, they're my absolute hardest days because
(14:48):
I am a bit of an introvert. I tend to
hang out with people one on one, maybe in groups
of three, but in a whole group setting in which
you know, drinking is an involved in just marrymaking not
really a part of my life, so it triggers all
(15:09):
of my social anxiety. So those scenes are the hardest
for me in some way. And then my favorite scene
is the scene I got to shoot where Teeter asks Rippin'
John for her job to keep her job. That was
(15:30):
definitely my favorite, not just because I got to speak
too important people.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, And you know, for listeners of the show, you
may know this. Maybe it's a little obvious. If your
character gets fired off the ranch, you kind of get
fired off the show. I hate to say it, but
the way TV writing works is if your character's not
in the story, you just lost your job. So for Jin,
I mean, I can't help, but wonder if there's a
little bit of an element of all right, I gotta
(15:56):
go in there, and I got to earn my place
on this ranch.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Taylor is luckily really really considerate because he was an
actor himself. I find him to be very considerate to
sort of the hell that we can go through. So
even in season three in the river scene where it
just looks like I died, he called me beforehand and
the first words out of his mouth where you don't die,
(16:22):
and just there's a caveat to what you just said,
which is if you're written, you know, out of the ranch,
you would be written out.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Of the show.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
That holds true for television in general. But the scene
with John and Rip, the reason why like that hit
so hard was I really hooked into something with Teeter
for me in season three, which was that Teeter hasn't
had a home since she lost her home as a kid,
that she's probably, you know, a sort of nomadic worker
living a life that is getting harder and harder to
(16:51):
live as society, you know, and time moves forward, and
that she feels home for the first time. I imagine she
had brothers, and that this bunk house is basically a
minor reck like it recreates her family dynamic, and she
feels home for the first time. So the and in
many ways working on this show, I felt home for
(17:12):
the first time. I'm a vagabond actor, I'm a heavy.
You know, I'm a lunchbox actor. I recur and then
I leave. So this has been home. So it just
sort of it just hit a lot of boxes, you know,
for me to connect with and I like that stuff, Jeff.
One of the audience questions was around food. They wanted
(17:35):
to know if we were as well fed off camera
as we appear to be on camera. Oh.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Absolutely. They take great care of this. We have the
best catering in the world. We have the best craft
services in the world. We have the legendary Gatorator, who's
you know, a myth, a modern myth and a reality
at the same time. Great. It's also it's a show
about beef, right, so we I've eaten, you know, the
top ten steaks I've eaten in my life were all
(18:04):
on the set of Yellowstone.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Gator is one of the true magicians of food. I
don't I don't really ever want to. I don't think
I ever want to get married, but I thought about
getting married to Gator.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I thought about marrying Gator for his food, because I
think he's from California, but he spent a ton of
time in Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, via Louisiana, thea Louisiana.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
So he's like got that entire influence in his food.
He cooks with a lot of love, and I would
say some and I'm a food snob and I go
out of my way to eat at some of the
best restaurants wherever I go, and some of the best
meals I've ever had are from Gator.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
If it's also there's a recurring joke on the show,
and this is where the fictional Gator and the real
life Gator diverge. There's a recurring joke on the show,
show you know about vegetarianism or veganism, that Gator can't
accommodate that if you're a vegan on set, Gator's gonna
take care of you amazing. Gator's gonna make you like
some kind of asparagus taco that's really gonna knock your
(19:13):
socks off.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah, I'm not vegan, but that his vegetables were something
that stood out for me as I just I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Know how he did what he did. They are incredible.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah, He's amazing. So we eat great on set. Thank
you for worrying about us though, to that, to that
kind audience member who checked in, thanks for worrying about
us we do.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Okay, if you're if you ever feel worried again, just
start to pay attention to the angularity in our faces
as the season progresses, because all of us lose bone
structure because we gain weight over the course of the
season from the amount of food and the delicious food
that has provided to us.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, I will say, if you're really good at cooking,
you can probably pull it off. I'm terrible at cooking.
And the good news is it's really easy to throw
a steak in a cast iron pan. You know, sear
it quick and easy. That's easy. It's a lot easier
than trying to you know, frick as say an eggplant.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
So God blessed.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I respect all lifestyles, I really do. But for me,
give me a cast iron pan, give me a good
time of meat. That's all I need.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I like a skirt, steak and a cast iron jen.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It is always such a pleasure to talk to you,
and and the fund's not over yet. Right after this message,
we've got an amazing conversation with one of my favorite
new actors on the show this year, Lily Kay, who
plays Clara John's assistant. Right after this.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Okay, listen.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
The person we're about to talk to right now, our
guest of the day, is my.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
New favorite person and from work. She is a genius.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Actor and I am so glad to call her my friend,
Miss Lily k who plays Clara Brewer.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Come on now, Jen, that's the best intro.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Lily, we became such buds.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'm sitting right here, your new favorite. I feel so
usurped this is. We're starting this out on it bad
foot because now I'm in a defensive Yea.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
There were many There were many times on set where
it would be like two in the morning. For some
reason it was Lily, Finn and I whose coverage was last,
and somehow we all bonded like we were all the same,
the same age.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Which I don't know whose maturity level that speaks to.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
I don't know if that's I think it speaks to
that Finn is an incredibly evolved human being, and.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Let's blame the child. Finn is too mature. He is, Yeah,
just horribly too mature.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Oh, I mean, speaking of two am the middle of nowhere,
freezing cold Montana, Lily, you got thrown into the middle
of it this season. I always can't help but point
out when characters on the show parallel the experience of
the actor. So here you are. You joined the show
in its fifth season. That's a little bit like Clara
(22:22):
suddenly getting thrown into this cattle ranching lifestyle. What's up?
What's that like?
Speaker 4 (22:27):
It's bizarre.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I mean, it's the thing of I was looking at,
you know, I was watching the most the couple episodes
that just came out and looking at like, man, this
girl just is out of nowhere finding herself at the
dinner table with Beth Dutton. It's like, that's not no
one is invited into that space, and suddenly she is there.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
And I think in the same way, I think I.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Felt that that was an immense privilege and an immense
like there's a weight to that, to being able to
to join this really beautiful community of people who are
telling this story. In terms of the logistical two am
in the in the dark, in the in the mud,
(23:13):
that was like what I grew up loving and doing,
and so I was so excited.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
I was like, you want to get to be on
a horse at two am in the dirt Chas and
Cow's doing miss I was like, oh my god, this
is the greatest.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Job in the world, since you hit on it already
and I was gonna save it towards the end. Can
you talk a little bit more about how much riding
experience you had coming in, because when we first saw
you one of the days that we were you know,
we practiced riding in between shooting. We all were like,
who is that new wrangler, Like, who's the new professional
(23:48):
writer they have brought in?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
And it was you.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
That's very kind, Jen. I was very lucky in that
I did not I was rusty. I had spent some
time away, but I've been riding and working with horses
since I was about six years old, and I obviously
I moved away from anywhere that I would have access
(24:14):
to that, and so it's been it had been a
second and.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
That was just the greatest joy I am. I grew
up training a little bit and doing that all that
kind of good stuff. So it was such a it.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Really was a dream come true to get to do
that at this work in a in a TV movie context.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
It's so you know, the word you said joy really
radiates kind of through the screen because you know, we
don't know how Clara is going to respond to suddenly
being asked to be on the ranch, to suddenly participate
in this massive gathering, this massive branding. But the way
she responds to it is with joy. It really seems
like for her too, it's this homecoming. You know. She
(25:00):
sprinting on a horse, side by side with John Dutton,
my close personal friend Kevin Cospler. You guys are just
blazing across a field. Talk like that, joy, What an
amazing experience.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Oh my god, I was. I was a like a
happy mess after that that day of work.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I was like, this is my dream.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
This is so much fun because it's such like standing
next to or riding next to a movie cowboy cinema,
cowboy legend and getting to do something like that, it
was like the most that's exactly who who you dream
of doing it with on a horse that you dream
of riding in a place that you dream of being
(25:41):
in of riding in, And it.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Was such a treat. It was like I couldn't when
I read that, I was screaming. I was like, I
can't wait to do this. I'm so excited. It was
so much fun.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
What a what a what a neat thing, What a
cool experience to go back and forth and to go
back and forth alongside Kevin con You know, is there
off that you've or experiences you've had, things you've learned
from working with Kevin. You've worked with him, you know,
not to be jealous, but you've worked with him more
in one season than the rest of us have in five.
So I hope you had a great yeah time.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Yeah, I had an amazing time. No, it was I
did have an amazing time. I felt very sneaky in
that capacity. I was like, how is it that I
just get to follow him around and hang out with
him all the time?
Speaker 4 (26:23):
This is amazing, But I he is so he takes
the work so seriously across the board, and I think
feeling like something that was such a gift is even
just coming in, you know and being new, and you know,
being in the position that I was in. I feel
like he was so open and wanted.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
To talk about what we were doing and what it meant.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Did you have extra nerves going into this because it
was Kevin? And then did you find that his sort
of nerdy is the wrong word, but I mean it
is a compliment. Nerdy focus on the process alleviated those
nerves completely.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
I think I think I was absolutely terrified.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
And because you never know when you when it's somebody
who you're working with, who you've.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Watched your entire life, you don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
What they're going to be like and what, not just
as a person, but in a work environment, like what
do they need, what kind of space do they need,
what kind of you know, how sensitive are they to
what's going on around them? And I think I was
really worried. But his first of all, he's so charming,
and second of all, he was so welcoming and kind.
(27:35):
It was it was very disarming, and it was very
It made me sort of go, oh, I can I
can relax a little bit. But it took me like
days of working. I was like having the first few
scenes we shot, I was like like I was curled
into a ball because I was so nervous about that
I was talking to him.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
So I think.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Those are like dramaturgically vas like. I guess that's what's
so cool about this is in real life you're going
back and forth between two jobs, and in the show Yellowstone,
you're meeting that your new boss who is kind of
dragging you back and forth between two very distinct worlds.
What a cool thing I mean, you know, the respect
that you feel for Kevin isn't so different from the
(28:21):
respect that Clara feels for John Dunne, Like I have
no doubt that she's intimidated by him. Like when you're
sitting at the dinner table next to Kelly Riley, next
to these other acts, Like the anxiety that you might
experience as an actor lines up perfectly with the anxiety
that the character experienced hotly.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Yeah, I got so lucky.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
There are very few scenarios in which my unbridled anxiety
is actually relevant to the story that I'm telling.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
It's amazing. I've appreciated that for five years on Yellowstone
Now because Jimmy's always a fucking nervous wreck because he
doesn't know what he's doing, which.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Is perfect, perfect, it's perfect.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
You're like saying, let's go, Lily, thank you so much
for taking the time to chat with us. I cannot
wait to see what is in next in store for Clara.
I can't wait to see what's next to the store for you.
I'm a big, big fan, and.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Thank you so much for having me. You guys, it
was so fun.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
And Lily are amazing on the show. I know, I
text you that, but you will say so.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Everybody here is that thanks as you are phenomenal on it.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
DITO big time to both of y'all.

Hello, Welcome back to the Official Yellowstone Podcast. A very
very happy holiday to you, and thanks for being here.
My name is Jefferson White. I play Jimmy on a
Yellowstone and I'm joined as always by Jen Landon Teeter. Hey, Jeff, Jen,
thanks for being here.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, it's nice to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
So whatever holiday it is you celebrate, we're so grateful
that you're celebrating with us. Thank you for being here.
We're gonna jump into it and keep catching up after
this quick break.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Jeff, are you a holiday person?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
You know, I don't think of myself as a particular
holiday person, but I love gathering. I love seeing family.
I love gathering with family, So that's that's a benefit
of it.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I love the family aspect and I love the coming
together aspect.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I would say that you have a sort of Christmas
energy year round. Maybe that you know the joy and
sort of good humor with which you greet the day.
It's always Christmas in your heart. I would say one
of the great things about this show is the community, obviously,
and we do absolutely cherish the community of the show,
and after five years, the community of this show feels
like a family. Like I've been talking about Yellowstone with
(01:29):
my Instagram followers for five years, which is I think,
like authentically a really beautiful thing. There's like a lot
of the way in which, you know, the conversation on
social media allows us to connect with people is an
incredible gift. So what we wanted to do as part
of this extra special super Fan episode is includes some
questions that we see recurring on social media. So, Jen,
(01:54):
I may I pose to you a question?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yes, Jeff, may I pose the same question back to you?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I hope you will.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Great.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
So some of you and I have talked about a lot, Jen,
something that gets brought up in a lot of interviews
if you watch Yellowstone, you know at press and publicity
materials is Cowboy Camp the sort of legend of Cowboy Camp.
It's a phrase that we toss around as though anybody
knows what we're talking about. Jin, will you tell us
about Cowboy Camp? Will you specifically tell us about your
(02:24):
experience of Cowboy Camp?
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, Well, Jeff, as you know, I came in season
three and I missed out even on that third season
Cowboy Camp. So you have some epics stories to share
after this about the first three Cowboy Camps. But my
first official Cowboy Camp was going into season four and
it was six days I believe, of training and different
(02:56):
sort of obstacles, every thing from everything, frankly, from balancing
an egg on a spoon while you ride. That was
my least favorite. I'm still mad at that event, to
sorting cattle to racing and on the final day we
(03:19):
would have a competition and we'd be broken up into
teams and we would compete and it would be about
who would win. What I do know is that apparently
Cowboy Camp for nineteen twenty three, or maybe it was
for eighteen eighty three was this incredibly warm, supportive environment
in which people really cheered each other on. And that
(03:42):
is not the way it is on Yellowstone. It is
highly competitive. People are out for blood. I think that
we started out in season one.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
It started out warm and supportive. We were all, you know,
strangers in it together. I think most of the listeners
of this podcast know by now that when I started Yellstone,
I had never touched a horse in my life. This
was all extremely new to me, and so Cowboy Camp
the first time around was this incredible sort of overnight
pack adventure with a mule train. There was a sort of.
(04:15):
We had these incredible mule guides who took us up
on the side of a mountain and we stayed overnight
and just spent our days kind of riding through these mountains,
practicing various skills, cooking out by the campfire. It was
a really amazing experience, to be honest, with a cast
(04:35):
iron pan, just sort of cooking on a campfire. So
it really was an incredible sort of immersive experience. And
it was also the first time we'd all met each other,
you know, so I hopped, I flew in, hopped in
an suv, popped out on the other side, and met
Jake Reem for the first time. They stuck me on
a horse right next to Colehauser, my first time on
(04:57):
a horse, first time meeting coal, and we trad trapsed
up the side of a mountain to reunite with the
rest of the cast who had gotten there the day before.
So it was a really wild sort of experience getting
to know each other, which was a huge bonding agent
going into that first season. You know, going into the
first season at Yellowstone, none of us knew what the
(05:18):
show was going to be. We had one script, you know,
we had the episode one script. We didn't know what
our futures held. It was a real sort of leap
of faith for all of us and this sort of
shared commitment to this journey we were going to go on.
You know, it was a really pretty amazing experience. This
(05:38):
was also, you know, it was before Yellowstone was this
massive phenomenon.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
This year, since we didn't get you at Cowboy Camp
and you got to go down to the Four Sixes.
I heard from Taylor, I heard from True who works
for the Four Sixes, that they.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Sort of put you through.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
You sort of went through the paces the same way
they would working that ranch, and that you held your
own and then some and everyone was sort of blown
away by you.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
That's really nice of them to say, really, you know.
So season four of Yellowstone, Jimmy gets sent off to
the Four Sixes, which was the first time I experienced
that ranch. You know, it's an incredible, real working cattle ranch,
and the guys who live there and work there are
the best in the world. They are they have sort
(06:31):
of made lifelong commitments to this craft, to this culture,
and they are the best cowboys in the world pretty
pretty literally. So you know, for them to have to
put up with me demonstrates that they're also incredibly patient
because these guys their job isn't to babysit an actor.
(06:52):
Their job is to manage the cattle on this ranch.
You know, they have an incredible amount of responsibility that
they are constantly living up to. So season five of Yellowstone,
I regrettably couldn't make it to the formal cowboy camp,
which I was terrified about because the last thing you
(07:13):
want to do is tell Taylor that you can't make it,
especially because like it's such a valuable bonding exercise. But
you know, not, unlike Jimmy, I had this experience of
going off by myself down to the four sixes with
Tailor and participating in a real sort of gathering and
branding that they were doing down there, which was amazing.
It was the best practice in the world. It was basically,
(07:36):
you know, some of the stuff you guys are doing
in season five, these massive gathers, massive brandings. It was
that without cameras on one of the biggest, oldest cattle
ranches in America, you know. So I had the just
absolutely transcendently beautiful experience of waking up before the sun rose,
you know, loading horses onto trailers, unloading them functionally in
(07:56):
the middle of nowhere. The four sixes is the size
of a county. It's a massive It's like wilderness in
pretty much the truest sense. It's wilderness. And you formed
this huge cowboy dragnet and I would look to my
left and look to my right, and the sun hadn't
risen yet, so I couldn't see anybody else, and I
was just sort of riding through the sage brush by
(08:18):
myself with no cameras around, gathering, gathering, uh, you know,
cowcaf pairs.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Did you love it?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It was a and I did.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Did you love it? And do you miss it?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I loved it very much and I do miss it.
It was It was probably the first time I've had
on the show well, the experience of working on Yelliston
over the last five years where I didn't feel like
I was auditioning because there was no one else around,
like you know, I had. I've never really been on
a horse by myself before. I've been supervised by trainers,
supervised by our wranglers. This was kind of the first
(08:52):
time in my life I was on a horse by myself.
And then we did the branding. You know, we did
a fucking branding, which is a wild deal. That's a
for layman like me. I'm I'm like, in real life,
I'm closer to Summer than i am to Teeter, you
know what I mean. Like, Summer's character is probably the
closest analog to me in real life because she's from
out of town and she's never seen this before. So
(09:13):
all of a sudden, I'm like wrestling with calves on
the floor of of you know, this dirt these dirt pins.
It's three hundred calf cow pairs, and you know, you're
kind of doing jiu jitsu on these cows, trying to
hold them down so they can be castrated and inoculated.
It's gnarly, it's pretty metal, to be honest, but it's
(09:33):
also our job, you know. So it was a it
was a really unique experience that I probably never otherwise
would have had, And that was my Cowboy camp for
season five.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So that kind of brings us to our next question
from our audience. But before we get into that, we're
going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
(10:04):
So before the break, Jeff, you were talking about these
times when we reached something. We hit a moment that
is so sort of physically exhausting on some level that's
hard that we've never experienced before. And one of the
questions that we got from social media from the audience
was they were curious what our favorite scene was to
(10:25):
record and what the hardest scene was for us to record.
So I'm wondering, if Jeff, what was your hardest scene
and what was your favorite scene? And maybe they are
one and the same.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, I mean, I mean my favorite scenes prior to
season four were always the bunk house scenes. You know,
I really loved working with y'all, who I have really
become a sort of family at this point. It's just
the opportunity to like tease each other and mess around
and keep it light. Was it was always so fun
on a show that can be so heavy. In season four,
I got to I got to sort of have responsibility
(10:59):
on the show way I never had before. You know,
part of Jimmy's journey is that he's a he is
a moron and does not deserve responsibility and sort of
hands himself over to people who are take responsibility for him.
You know, Rip takes responsibility for him. John Dutton takes
responsibility for him the rest of the bunk house does.
(11:19):
In season four, for the first time, Jimmy sort of
has to take responsibility for himself. And that's also really
true of my experience of shooting it. You know. So
in season four, we went down to Texas on a
splinter unit to shoot at the Sixes, and it was
like a it was like shooting a completely different show.
You know. It was like this gorilla unit. It was
a smaller, nimbler crew. Taylor was directing all of it,
(11:43):
and it was just this very intimate, different style of
filmmaking in which I sort of had a lot of responsibility,
like I had to kind of this. This was we
were making this like weird little splinter unit movie, and
that was an incredible experience. It's creatively because it was
you know, it just mirrors the character's experience. There's this
(12:04):
sort of self actualization that Jimmy experiences when he goes
down to the sixes, and I sort of experienced the
same thing as an actor, Like I went down to
the sixes and all of a sudden, you know, I
had to run with the football a little bit, and
that was a real honor and a challenge and an
incredible gift that I'll never forget. Like working on that
season four for six's stuff, me and Kat Kelly were
(12:28):
sort of the only actors surrounded by a bunch of cowboys.
With Taylor there directing us, we were also moving fast.
There is at least one scene that we did literally
one take of, one take, one setup like that, the
scene when Jimmy drops Emily off at her house and
they kissed for the first time. The sun was setting.
(12:48):
It was a magic hour scene and we did one take,
one take, one setup done. That's incredible, which was yeah,
and it was like that kind of moment, you know,
that's like as an actor, there's a scene, you know,
in Yellowstone season five, Ryan describes this big cattle drive
as like the super Bowl or the grand old Opera
of being a cowboy. As an actor, moments like that
(13:10):
are sort of our super Bowl. It's like, hey, you know,
there's no time left. This thing's going to exist forever.
Whatever scene we shoot right now is going in Yellowstone
and it's going to exist forever, and we only get
to do it one time. Role camera, role, sound, let's go,
you know. So those moments are like incredibly exhilarating and
(13:34):
exhausting and challenging, but they're really like why we do this.
To a certain extent, that kind of pressure is such
a gift because you have no choice but to really
live in the moment when the moment is so precious.
And then the hardest stuff I've shot is like, you know,
some of these days, like you experienced this over and
over again this season, these days when you're really just
kind of working the ranch, like you know, these days
(13:56):
when you're driving cattle, when you're you know, branding like
your work, you're kind of just working a fourteen hour
day as though you are a cowboy. But there's also
a camera, you know, on a long lens, just watching
your every movement for fourteen hours, which, oh, nothing is
more exhausting than like doing your job. But you also
(14:18):
can't relax for fourteen hours because the camera is on
you for fourteen hours.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
For me, the most grueling days and the hardest days
are different. So the most grueling days are yeah, long days,
pushing cows, no bathroom around, I mean really, as a female,
that's interesting, but they're not my hardest days. Oddly, my
hardest days are bunk house days as much as I'm
happy to see everyone, they're my absolute hardest days because
(14:48):
I am a bit of an introvert. I tend to
hang out with people one on one, maybe in groups
of three, but in a whole group setting in which
you know, drinking is an involved in just marrymaking not
really a part of my life, so it triggers all
(15:09):
of my social anxiety. So those scenes are the hardest
for me in some way. And then my favorite scene
is the scene I got to shoot where Teeter asks Rippin'
John for her job to keep her job. That was
(15:30):
definitely my favorite, not just because I got to speak
too important people.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, And you know, for listeners of the show, you
may know this. Maybe it's a little obvious. If your
character gets fired off the ranch, you kind of get
fired off the show. I hate to say it, but
the way TV writing works is if your character's not
in the story, you just lost your job. So for Jin,
I mean, I can't help, but wonder if there's a
little bit of an element of all right, I gotta
(15:56):
go in there, and I got to earn my place
on this ranch.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Taylor is luckily really really considerate because he was an
actor himself. I find him to be very considerate to
sort of the hell that we can go through. So
even in season three in the river scene where it
just looks like I died, he called me beforehand and
the first words out of his mouth where you don't die,
(16:22):
and just there's a caveat to what you just said,
which is if you're written, you know, out of the ranch,
you would be written out.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Of the show.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
That holds true for television in general. But the scene
with John and Rip, the reason why like that hit
so hard was I really hooked into something with Teeter
for me in season three, which was that Teeter hasn't
had a home since she lost her home as a kid,
that she's probably, you know, a sort of nomadic worker
living a life that is getting harder and harder to
(16:51):
live as society, you know, and time moves forward, and
that she feels home for the first time. I imagine she
had brothers, and that this bunk house is basically a
minor reck like it recreates her family dynamic, and she
feels home for the first time. So the and in
many ways working on this show, I felt home for
(17:12):
the first time. I'm a vagabond actor, I'm a heavy.
You know, I'm a lunchbox actor. I recur and then
I leave. So this has been home. So it just
sort of it just hit a lot of boxes, you know,
for me to connect with and I like that stuff, Jeff.
One of the audience questions was around food. They wanted
(17:35):
to know if we were as well fed off camera
as we appear to be on camera. Oh.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Absolutely. They take great care of this. We have the
best catering in the world. We have the best craft
services in the world. We have the legendary Gatorator, who's
you know, a myth, a modern myth and a reality
at the same time. Great. It's also it's a show
about beef, right, so we I've eaten, you know, the
top ten steaks I've eaten in my life were all
(18:04):
on the set of Yellowstone.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Gator is one of the true magicians of food. I
don't I don't really ever want to. I don't think
I ever want to get married, but I thought about
getting married to Gator.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I thought about marrying Gator for his food, because I
think he's from California, but he spent a ton of
time in Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, via Louisiana, thea Louisiana.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
So he's like got that entire influence in his food.
He cooks with a lot of love, and I would
say some and I'm a food snob and I go
out of my way to eat at some of the
best restaurants wherever I go, and some of the best
meals I've ever had are from Gator.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
If it's also there's a recurring joke on the show,
and this is where the fictional Gator and the real
life Gator diverge. There's a recurring joke on the show,
show you know about vegetarianism or veganism, that Gator can't
accommodate that if you're a vegan on set, Gator's gonna
take care of you amazing. Gator's gonna make you like
some kind of asparagus taco that's really gonna knock your
(19:13):
socks off.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah, I'm not vegan, but that his vegetables were something
that stood out for me as I just I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Know how he did what he did. They are incredible.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah, He's amazing. So we eat great on set. Thank
you for worrying about us though, to that, to that
kind audience member who checked in, thanks for worrying about
us we do.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Okay, if you're if you ever feel worried again, just
start to pay attention to the angularity in our faces
as the season progresses, because all of us lose bone
structure because we gain weight over the course of the
season from the amount of food and the delicious food
that has provided to us.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, I will say, if you're really good at cooking,
you can probably pull it off. I'm terrible at cooking.
And the good news is it's really easy to throw
a steak in a cast iron pan. You know, sear
it quick and easy. That's easy. It's a lot easier
than trying to you know, frick as say an eggplant.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
So God blessed.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I respect all lifestyles, I really do. But for me,
give me a cast iron pan, give me a good
time of meat. That's all I need.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I like a skirt, steak and a cast iron jen.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It is always such a pleasure to talk to you,
and and the fund's not over yet. Right after this message,
we've got an amazing conversation with one of my favorite
new actors on the show this year, Lily Kay, who
plays Clara John's assistant. Right after this.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Okay, listen.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
The person we're about to talk to right now, our
guest of the day, is my.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
New favorite person and from work. She is a genius.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Actor and I am so glad to call her my friend,
Miss Lily k who plays Clara Brewer.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Come on now, Jen, that's the best intro.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Lily, we became such buds.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'm sitting right here, your new favorite. I feel so
usurped this is. We're starting this out on it bad
foot because now I'm in a defensive Yea.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
There were many There were many times on set where
it would be like two in the morning. For some
reason it was Lily, Finn and I whose coverage was last,
and somehow we all bonded like we were all the same,
the same age.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Which I don't know whose maturity level that speaks to.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
I don't know if that's I think it speaks to
that Finn is an incredibly evolved human being, and.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Let's blame the child. Finn is too mature. He is, Yeah,
just horribly too mature.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Oh, I mean, speaking of two am the middle of nowhere,
freezing cold Montana, Lily, you got thrown into the middle
of it this season. I always can't help but point
out when characters on the show parallel the experience of
the actor. So here you are. You joined the show
in its fifth season. That's a little bit like Clara
(22:22):
suddenly getting thrown into this cattle ranching lifestyle. What's up?
What's that like?
Speaker 4 (22:27):
It's bizarre.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I mean, it's the thing of I was looking at,
you know, I was watching the most the couple episodes
that just came out and looking at like, man, this
girl just is out of nowhere finding herself at the
dinner table with Beth Dutton. It's like, that's not no
one is invited into that space, and suddenly she is there.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
And I think in the same way, I think I.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Felt that that was an immense privilege and an immense
like there's a weight to that, to being able to
to join this really beautiful community of people who are
telling this story. In terms of the logistical two am
in the in the dark, in the in the mud,
(23:13):
that was like what I grew up loving and doing,
and so I was so excited.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
I was like, you want to get to be on
a horse at two am in the dirt Chas and
Cow's doing miss I was like, oh my god, this
is the greatest.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Job in the world, since you hit on it already
and I was gonna save it towards the end. Can
you talk a little bit more about how much riding
experience you had coming in, because when we first saw
you one of the days that we were you know,
we practiced riding in between shooting. We all were like,
who is that new wrangler, Like, who's the new professional
(23:48):
writer they have brought in?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
And it was you.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
That's very kind, Jen. I was very lucky in that
I did not I was rusty. I had spent some
time away, but I've been riding and working with horses
since I was about six years old, and I obviously
I moved away from anywhere that I would have access
(24:14):
to that, and so it's been it had been a
second and.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
That was just the greatest joy I am. I grew
up training a little bit and doing that all that
kind of good stuff. So it was such a it.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Really was a dream come true to get to do
that at this work in a in a TV movie context.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
It's so you know, the word you said joy really
radiates kind of through the screen because you know, we
don't know how Clara is going to respond to suddenly
being asked to be on the ranch, to suddenly participate
in this massive gathering, this massive branding. But the way
she responds to it is with joy. It really seems
like for her too, it's this homecoming. You know. She
(25:00):
sprinting on a horse, side by side with John Dutton,
my close personal friend Kevin Cospler. You guys are just
blazing across a field. Talk like that, joy, What an
amazing experience.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Oh my god, I was. I was a like a
happy mess after that that day of work.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I was like, this is my dream.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
This is so much fun because it's such like standing
next to or riding next to a movie cowboy cinema,
cowboy legend and getting to do something like that, it
was like the most that's exactly who who you dream
of doing it with on a horse that you dream
of riding in a place that you dream of being
(25:41):
in of riding in, And it.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Was such a treat. It was like I couldn't when
I read that, I was screaming. I was like, I
can't wait to do this. I'm so excited. It was
so much fun.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
What a what a what a neat thing, What a
cool experience to go back and forth and to go
back and forth alongside Kevin con You know, is there
off that you've or experiences you've had, things you've learned
from working with Kevin. You've worked with him, you know,
not to be jealous, but you've worked with him more
in one season than the rest of us have in five.
So I hope you had a great yeah time.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Yeah, I had an amazing time. No, it was I
did have an amazing time. I felt very sneaky in
that capacity. I was like, how is it that I
just get to follow him around and hang out with
him all the time?
Speaker 4 (26:23):
This is amazing, But I he is so he takes
the work so seriously across the board, and I think
feeling like something that was such a gift is even
just coming in, you know and being new, and you know,
being in the position that I was in. I feel
like he was so open and wanted.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
To talk about what we were doing and what it meant.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Did you have extra nerves going into this because it
was Kevin? And then did you find that his sort
of nerdy is the wrong word, but I mean it
is a compliment. Nerdy focus on the process alleviated those
nerves completely.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
I think I think I was absolutely terrified.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
And because you never know when you when it's somebody
who you're working with, who you've.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Watched your entire life, you don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
What they're going to be like and what, not just
as a person, but in a work environment, like what
do they need, what kind of space do they need,
what kind of you know, how sensitive are they to
what's going on around them? And I think I was
really worried. But his first of all, he's so charming,
and second of all, he was so welcoming and kind.
(27:35):
It was it was very disarming, and it was very
It made me sort of go, oh, I can I
can relax a little bit. But it took me like
days of working. I was like having the first few
scenes we shot, I was like like I was curled
into a ball because I was so nervous about that
I was talking to him.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
So I think.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Those are like dramaturgically vas like. I guess that's what's
so cool about this is in real life you're going
back and forth between two jobs, and in the show Yellowstone,
you're meeting that your new boss who is kind of
dragging you back and forth between two very distinct worlds.
What a cool thing I mean, you know, the respect
that you feel for Kevin isn't so different from the
(28:21):
respect that Clara feels for John Dunne, Like I have
no doubt that she's intimidated by him. Like when you're
sitting at the dinner table next to Kelly Riley, next
to these other acts, Like the anxiety that you might
experience as an actor lines up perfectly with the anxiety
that the character experienced hotly.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Yeah, I got so lucky.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
There are very few scenarios in which my unbridled anxiety
is actually relevant to the story that I'm telling.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
It's amazing. I've appreciated that for five years on Yellowstone
Now because Jimmy's always a fucking nervous wreck because he
doesn't know what he's doing, which.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Is perfect, perfect, it's perfect.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
You're like saying, let's go, Lily, thank you so much
for taking the time to chat with us. I cannot
wait to see what is in next in store for Clara.
I can't wait to see what's next to the store for you.
I'm a big, big fan, and.

was so fun.

text you that, but you will say so.
