Turning Dallas Into Chicago

“How do you keep a hit series alive after killing off its biggest star?” That’s the question Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray wrestle with in this hilarious and opinion-packed episode of The Ben and Skin Show.The crew dives into the latest TV buzz: filming for the new Yellowstone spinoff, Dutton Ranch, shutting down downtown Dallas to make it look like Chicago. Skin breaks down the plot twist—Costner’s character is gone, Beth is still wild (with “partial jug” making a cameo), and Rip is stepping up as the ace starter. But can the franchise survive without its quarterback? Or has Yellowstone officially over-spun itself into oblivion?

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Are you excited? Featuring veteran news anchor Kat fun tweets.
I decided I don't want to track the news, Skin.
What do you got? Oh Man?

Speaker 3 (00:39):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (00:42):
I just felt like case the mondays, Yeah, oh Man,
what do you got?

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Man? Well, I've got this story I've been tracking based
on seeing pictures on Instagram.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Oh I saw that story. I was gonna do it today. Okay,
take it? What story?

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Skin?

Speaker 3 (00:57):
No, he knows he what story?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Kat? He won't finish the family feud category when I
buzz in early, so now he has to do the audacity.
Are you seeing on Instagram people that are spotting themselves
in land?

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
No, No, what is Instagram? I can't give you that backstory.
Maybe it's all I'm sure it's on Facebook too. Okay,
I don't go to Facebook, but I do go to Instagram,
so this is where I see it. But I most
things that are on Instagram are also on Facebook. That's
the way people. Yeah, go to Reddit. People are posting
stories about themselves on Reddit. But I, you know, because

(01:35):
it was shot here, there's a lot of people that
end up being extras and things like that. And so
I saw a couple of pictures on you know, just
not the not the full post, just the story feed
where people are like, oh my god, look here I am,
and they circle themselves. And that's part of the fun
of having a big time production in your town. You know,
when they they'll they'll shut We have these stories they'll

(01:58):
shut the downtown area down and they're shooting or you know,
you can go to a call and hey, we need
extras to have y'all ever been an extra and anything
like a real movie, yeah, or a TV show?

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
I don't think so either. I mean, no, like a
real one. No, Like I've.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Always heard stories of Dunham and Miller being in the
background of that movie with Who's the girl that she
kicks Field Goals at North Texas Kathy Ireland, Oh yeah,
unnecessary Kathy Ireland.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Kathy Ireland. L McPherson my favorite song. It's a great song.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
My grandparents were in Texasville because they shot it in
Archer City.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yes, exactly what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, you're gonna have more opportunities because Taylor Sheridan basically
does everything here headline filming for Yellowstone spin off, Dutton
Ranch Ben shuts down the arts District Street. Now, I
think you're the only guy in the show that knows
the characters of Yellowstone, unless y'all have watched it. Okay,

(03:09):
so Dutton Ranch tell me something.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
I don't know how. I don't know how they can
do it without Costner. No, they are with Rip and Beth.
I mean, Beth is awesome. She was arguably the best
thing about that show. She's loose cannon, she's smoking hot.
There's always partial jug out okay, partial yeah, you know,

(03:32):
just like part of the storyline. I think, so, matth
your jug is partially out here. Yeah, and Rip is
you know, he's he's badass, you know, tough, guy and
a lot of denim jackets, and he just Beth, I
can't even believe how wild you are get in here.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, that type of thing really good. It's really good.
But I don't I feel like it's run its course.
I don't.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
I don't know how there's anything else. And look, the
reality is this. You need an ace on this pitching staff,
and now you don't have it. If you lose Costner,
you lost your starting quarterback.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
I just don't know how you do it without the megastar.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
The spinoff has spun off into another spinoff that's spun
off again. They've overspun off Yellowstone because there's two from
the eighteen hundreds.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
They just started naming years for new series, and that's
not a real spinoff. Backstories aren't real spinoff spinoffers when
you take characters and you give them a new series,
which is what Dutton Ranch is.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Now let me read this is Joey.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's ironic that Ben brought up you need an ace
because I would maintain that the guy who plays Rip
has a pitcher's name, Cole Hauser.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Oh so that's that's a picture's names pitcher's name.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Dutton Ranch takes place after the bloody ending of Yellowstone.
In the hit Western's fifth season, the death of patriarch
Kevin Costner looms over the Duttons a Montana. Huh, spoiler,
it's funny they just call him cost If they said
his name, it's John. But I skipped over that, okay.
Although Costner's death appeared to be a suicide, it comes

(05:06):
out later that he was killed in a hit in
which his daughter Beth, who has partial jug suspects it
was arranged by her brother Jamie, who is the weird
kid in American Beauty that watched plastic sacks fly around
and the violent pinnacle of a long brewing sibling rivalry.
Beth kills Jamie in the Yellowstone finale, So it says

(05:28):
Dutton Rant sees Beth, her husband, a starter Cole Hauser,
and Carter, a young boy they take in start Fresh
on the new and titular Montana ranch. I don't know
that word, but I guess it relates.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
To Beth Wheel.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
I mean, I know they want to milk it, sir,
but I just don't know that there's anything left there
without Costner.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
I just don't know.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Because all the storylines came to an apex and climax
and it's over and now you're like, hey, let's again,
let's do it one more time. I got to get
out of here, honey, Like I don't, I don't. I
don't know how they do it.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, well it's being Uh they're trying to make downtown
Dallas look like downtown Chicago. So they've shut down the
Arts district and they're filming because yeah, Yellowstones modern times, right, Yeah, okay,
so they don't have to put old cars and stuff there.
So if you end up watching Dutton Ranch when you
see downtown Chicago, just know that it was the Arts
District in Dallas where they're filming it. Waitay they're in

(06:27):
Chicago now, No, Well the character they're saying they're moving,
I bet it's just like Ozark.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Remember they had to go to Chicago some stuff.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
So this is the idea where it's like, uh, now
that's a noise if you take the Australian into the
big city. They're taking Rip into the big city now,
and that that's.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
What this is.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I mean, it's just Chicago's stunt ran.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
They can put a ranch in Chicago.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Look if you look at landman Ace of the Pitching Staff,
starting quarterback Billy Bob Thornton.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, that's why that works. You can't do it without
the ace and a quarterback controversy with the man guy. Yeah,
I mean he was a quarterback. Fantastic. That an incredible roster.
All right, There you have it.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
That's why downtown Dallas is being shut down so they
can pretend to be Chicago.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
All right.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Coming up next some movie news. I want everyone ask
themselves this question. What are your four favorite movies ever?
