1:38
Speaker 3: Our review comes out. Now, I gotta I gotta ask
1:41
Speaker 3: you a question.
1:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw someone commented and asked if we were
1:47
Speaker 2: going to be reviewing any new movies this summer. Yes,
1:52
Speaker 2: and your response was dot dot dot I think it was.
1:56
Speaker 1: Response was maybe maybe I think there will be some
2:03
Speaker 1: original movie reviews this summer.
2:05
Speaker 3: Is that accurate? We'll see.
2:08
Speaker 2: I guess we're busy this summer. This was gonna say,
2:11
Speaker 2: I'm at a place where I feel fully invested in
2:14
Speaker 2: homemark now where I have to.
2:16
Speaker 3: Watch a new movie.
2:18
Speaker 2: So if we don't record one for the podcast, you
2:21
Speaker 2: may see me or Megan on Instagram talking about it.
2:27
Speaker 3: Yes, but we will not be leaving you hanging.
2:31
Speaker 1: There will be brand new episodes every week all summer long. Yeah,
2:35
Speaker 1: and we're around, We're engaged. We're not m Ia all summer. Right,
2:38
Speaker 1: We'll be on Instagram, will be rice, we catch up.
2:41
Speaker 2: With us, Yes, yes, all right. I have one note
2:47
Speaker 2: about viewership for this particular episode. Via Showbuzz Daily, Ride
2:51
Speaker 2: came in number twelve out of one.
2:54
Speaker 3: Hundred and fifty. It's a huge jump.
2:57
Speaker 2: They had a little over one million viewers and zero
3:01
Speaker 2: point one three share of the demographic.
3:03
Speaker 3: It's quite a big jump jump for them.
3:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, the finale brought those viewers back a little bit.
3:08
Speaker 2: But it's so weird though, because if you're not watching
3:12
Speaker 2: this show at all and then like you tune in
3:15
Speaker 2: for the finale, I don't know.
3:18
Speaker 3: Well, here's what I have to say about that.
3:20
Speaker 1: I don't think Shoba's Daily includes and I could be wrong,
3:23
Speaker 1: but I think that's like live cable TV viewings. I
3:27
Speaker 1: don't think it's including like Peacock or Friendly or all
3:31
Speaker 1: the other places people can be accessing these shows and
3:34
Speaker 1: so or and I also don't think it accounts for
3:37
Speaker 1: catching it on a DVR or a replay. So perhaps
3:41
Speaker 1: people just aren't making this appointment television, but they have
3:45
Speaker 1: been steadily keeping up with the show.
3:47
Speaker 3: Keeping up with the McMurray's. That's right.
3:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, would you like a synopsis for this finale episode? Indeed,
3:54
Speaker 2: I one the National Cheyenne Rodeo gives Cash his final
3:59
Speaker 2: chance to win the Frontier deal. It's a race against
4:03
Speaker 2: time and an unexpected twist will shock the McMurray's to
4:07
Speaker 2: the core. Ooh, I have one little note I want
4:12
Speaker 2: to add here. Yeah, of course, while they will, while
4:17
Speaker 2: they were filming this. It was wintertime. There were snow
4:22
Speaker 2: on the ground, right, yes, And.
4:25
Speaker 3: I was curious.
4:26
Speaker 2: I was like, well, Cheyenne, Like Cheyenne Rodeo is like
4:30
Speaker 2: a real thing, and I wondered when.
4:32
Speaker 3: That actually takes place.
4:34
Speaker 2: It takes place every year during the month of July,
4:41
Speaker 2: So I.
4:41
Speaker 3: Was like, oh, man, but I guess, like.
4:44
Speaker 2: Nobody really cares unless you're like super invested.
4:47
Speaker 3: I would guess.
4:48
Speaker 2: I think I might be bothered a little bit, Like
4:51
Speaker 2: if I was in the rodeo scene and I would
4:54
Speaker 2: be like, give me some realism here.
4:58
Speaker 1: That's funny that you look that up. I'm impressed. Yeah,
5:00
Speaker 1: that's kind of annoying, that's curious.
5:02
Speaker 2: I also did learn it says that the rodeo starts
5:06
Speaker 2: at one pm during those during the days.
5:12
Speaker 1: One of my notes is, this is the longest day
5:15
Speaker 1: ever this whole series.
5:17
Speaker 2: The days would last forever.
5:20
Speaker 1: The timing, I know has bothered you throughout this entire series.
5:24
Speaker 1: This day really, egregiously was so long. Like we had
5:28
Speaker 1: so many things happen. Cash gets in a fight, Cash
5:30
Speaker 1: goes to jail, Isabelle leaves cash and jail.
5:33
Speaker 3: Missy goes back to get Cash out in jail, They've
5:35
Speaker 3: got to drive all the way to the rodeo. Have
5:38
Speaker 3: all of this happen. There's a lot going on.
5:40
Speaker 2: And then also after the rodeo, after Cash rides, they
5:44
Speaker 2: go out to a big dinner and then they're back
5:48
Speaker 2: at They're back at home. Yeah, what that's a twenty
5:53
Speaker 2: eight hour afternoon.
5:56
Speaker 1: Yes, all of the previous episodes Shenanigan's didn't need to
6:00
Speaker 1: happen the day of the Cheyenne Rodeo. They could have
6:03
Speaker 1: very easily have happened the day before and still contributed
6:06
Speaker 1: to the drama. I agree, Well, I think we should
6:09
Speaker 1: maybe check in with all of our McMurray's in this
6:12
Speaker 1: c Okay, let's start with Cash. Okay, what are your
6:15
Speaker 1: thoughts on Cash in this episode?
6:16
Speaker 2: It was more drawn to him in this episode than
6:19
Speaker 2: I have been all series long. And I think it
6:23
Speaker 2: wasn't just Cash, it was it was the director whoever
6:29
Speaker 2: built really good tension in this episode. I thought, So
6:33
Speaker 2: I was like into Cash, like I was like into
6:36
Speaker 2: watching him win. I liked his conversation with Tucker the
6:41
Speaker 2: bad guy Hash stood out for me in this episode.
6:44
Speaker 3: I agree with that.
6:45
Speaker 1: Do you think Cash all along was considering doing the
6:50
Speaker 1: right thing and like sticking it to Tucker or do
6:52
Speaker 1: you think there was some conflict and it was like, oh,
6:55
Speaker 1: this could be a way to make a.
6:56
Speaker 3: Fast buck good question. I don't know that. It's unclear
7:01
Speaker 3: to me.
7:02
Speaker 2: I am worried about the future of Cash and doing
7:07
Speaker 2: Tucker dirty. Yeah, you know, I don't know, because he
7:11
Speaker 2: comes in at the end and he's like, I've got
7:12
Speaker 2: all your money. I can pay you off whatever you
7:16
Speaker 2: were gonna win. But now like he feels Tucker feels
7:20
Speaker 2: like Cash has sullied his reputation. I guess, yes, it's
7:25
Speaker 2: bigger than the money. It's now nobody trusts me right now.
7:29
Speaker 2: I think Cash was like, well, this is a great
7:32
Speaker 2: fallback plan if I really don't make it as a
7:36
Speaker 2: to eight seconds then yeah.
7:39
Speaker 1: I mean, I wonder if we're to believe because Missy
7:42
Speaker 1: comes in and she's like, you're not your brother in
7:44
Speaker 1: the best way possible, which I thought was a great
7:46
Speaker 1: line and a great moment for them. Are we to
7:47
Speaker 1: believe that's the moment that changed his.
7:49
Speaker 2: Mind she talked him out of it, yeah, Or that
7:53
Speaker 2: he was the good guy all along.
7:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. We may never know, right who's next, Well,
8:02
Speaker 3: let's go to Missy.
8:03
Speaker 1: We kind of need to talk about the Cash and
8:06
Speaker 1: Missy of it all.
8:08
Speaker 3: Missy finds the necklace.
8:09
Speaker 1: Cash has been carrying this necklace around for how many years? Now?
8:12
Speaker 3: It has to be Austin's been dead for a year.
8:15
Speaker 1: They had to have been married for It's gonna be
8:17
Speaker 1: at least three years since Austin proposed.
8:19
Speaker 3: Do you think that's accurate? Sure? Yeah, Cash is still
8:22
Speaker 3: caring around in his car.
8:24
Speaker 2: Look, I kind of loved all that. Okay, I loved
8:27
Speaker 2: all you hated it.
8:29
Speaker 3: I didn't hate it.
8:30
Speaker 1: I was just like, really, okay, no, because you know
8:33
Speaker 1: I am. I love the Cash and Missy heat from
8:35
Speaker 1: episode one. I've been riding this train and I think
8:38
Speaker 1: they brought the heat in this episode. I agree in
8:41
Speaker 1: that moment where he's like, I want what's best for
8:44
Speaker 1: you and she says something like maybe you don't know
8:48
Speaker 1: what's best for me.
8:50
Speaker 2: I thought that, and then eighth grade, then they had
8:52
Speaker 2: a hot, heavy kiss. Yeah, I thought that was good,
8:55
Speaker 2: and then he bounces. I was like, what what I.
9:00
Speaker 1: That though, He's like, I'm not going to put the
9:01
Speaker 1: pressure on you to make this decision right now.
9:06
Speaker 3: That's Hallmark for you.
9:08
Speaker 2: I think if it was I think if it was
9:09
Speaker 2: like HBO Max or something, they would have been a
9:12
Speaker 2: freak in the sheets, you know.
9:15
Speaker 3: I don't know. So I like that we got that.
9:19
Speaker 3: But here's what I also like. We've talked a lot
9:22
Speaker 3: about this season, like you can't.
9:24
Speaker 1: Have the true love couple get together right away. You
9:28
Speaker 1: need to leave your audience wanting something, and so in
9:31
Speaker 1: this case, they had their moment. But we finish on
9:38
Speaker 1: Missy going back to trick writing, like finding herself outside
9:42
Speaker 1: of Gus, outside of Cash, outside of all of this,
9:45
Speaker 1: like what is my life meant to be?
9:47
Speaker 3: She goes to.
9:48
Speaker 2: Albuquerque, which is in New Mexico, which I don't Again,
9:53
Speaker 2: geography not my strong suit. But how far is Albuquerque
9:56
Speaker 2: from Denver or wherever, not even Denver, wherever they live
10:01
Speaker 2: in Colorado, I don't know.
10:04
Speaker 3: I gotta say I have.
10:05
Speaker 2: A digit see that here, okay, and please tell me
10:08
Speaker 2: you've noticed the terrible green screen of Missy doing her
10:12
Speaker 2: trick riding.
10:13
Speaker 3: Well.
10:14
Speaker 1: I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I saw like
10:17
Speaker 1: a hallmark behind the scenes where they showed Missy on
10:20
Speaker 1: a horse that had kind of that green screen behind
10:24
Speaker 1: it that made it look like the horse was moving,
10:28
Speaker 1: and so I had that vision in my mind of
10:30
Speaker 1: this stationary horse that Missy is hanging off of while
10:33
Speaker 1: the background's flying by. So I think I was a
10:37
Speaker 1: little bit spoiled for that moment. Yeah, it was just
10:41
Speaker 1: like a like a tight frame on her face, like
10:43
Speaker 1: if she's like standing up on the horse.
10:46
Speaker 3: Oh yes, yes.
10:47
Speaker 1: I'm.
10:51
Speaker 3: Like, what can you do yourself? I do it?
10:53
Speaker 2: And then it's like, well, is she gonna go back?
10:55
Speaker 2: Like what's gonna happen? Is she gonna do trick riding
10:59
Speaker 2: all over the country?
10:59
Speaker 3: And right, you know, I thought it was.
11:03
Speaker 2: Look, there's no ties to the McMurray ranch for Missy
11:06
Speaker 2: now that Austin is dead other than Cash now.
11:09
Speaker 1: And I like that she because obviously she gave up
11:14
Speaker 1: her career for Austin to be his bride, right, yes,
11:20
Speaker 1: and now with maybe a potential relationship with Cash, she's
11:25
Speaker 1: doing her own things.
11:26
Speaker 3: So it's good.
11:27
Speaker 2: It's a nice progression for Missy. Yes, happy for her.
11:30
Speaker 3: Yeah.
11:31
Speaker 1: And are we okay with Gus just kind of flying
11:33
Speaker 1: by the wayside?
11:34
Speaker 3: Yes?
11:34
Speaker 2: Because he blew it anyway when he flipped out right
11:39
Speaker 2: at her.
11:40
Speaker 3: At the wedding. It's fun for the moment.
11:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gus is not not it anymore.
11:45
Speaker 3: No, who's next? Uh, let's talk tough?
11:48
Speaker 2: Okay, So glad that he ended things with Julian because
11:54
Speaker 2: ice cold between these two.
11:56
Speaker 1: Well, in my notes, I said, I've been rooting for
11:59
Speaker 1: Julian in Tough this whole time.
12:00
Speaker 3: I really have.
12:01
Speaker 1: But but the lack of chemistry in this episode especially
12:06
Speaker 1: was rough for like see you later, buddy, Yes, but
12:09
Speaker 1: oh no, oh it was so weird.
12:12
Speaker 3: Yeah.
12:13
Speaker 2: I was like, this isn't it.
12:14
Speaker 3: He needs he They need somebody.
12:17
Speaker 2: I hope if this show comes back for a season two,
12:20
Speaker 2: they need somebody where there's actual chemistry between the two actors,
12:25
Speaker 2: because this was not happening at all.
12:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I.
12:29
Speaker 1: Don't mind Julian coming back in season two as like
12:33
Speaker 1: a confidant to Top, as a good friend to him,
12:36
Speaker 1: as someone who encourages him to follow his dreams. I
12:39
Speaker 1: like the character of Julian. But again, and maybe that's intentional.
12:45
Speaker 1: Maybe we were not to be rooting for them.
12:49
Speaker 3: I just was not it. Yes it was. I was.
12:53
Speaker 2: I was like secondhand embarrassment watching them say like goodbye
12:57
Speaker 2: to each other.
12:57
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, this is so awkward. Yeah, it
13:00
Speaker 3: was not great.
13:02
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about.
13:05
Speaker 3: Valeria. Yeah.
13:08
Speaker 2: Now, she just runs around the entire episode. I feel
13:14
Speaker 2: like part of the Scooby Doo gang trying to figure out,
13:16
Speaker 2: like what is going on?
13:18
Speaker 3: Right, huh? Putting the pieces together?
13:22
Speaker 2: Yeah?
13:22
Speaker 3: Yeah.
13:23
Speaker 2: And then we have her at the very end and
13:27
Speaker 2: her father's assistant handler whatever comes and takes her away.
13:33
Speaker 2: I'm like, what's going to happen to the Laria now?
13:37
Speaker 3: See.
13:37
Speaker 1: One of the things I liked about this episode is
13:40
Speaker 1: they did wrap up enough loose ends, but they left
13:45
Speaker 1: enough questions to lead into a season two because there's
13:48
Speaker 1: that big open ended question. Does he want to see
13:52
Speaker 1: her because he wants to be in her life. Does
13:54
Speaker 1: he want to see her to punish her in some way?
13:57
Speaker 1: I mean, I have to assume that the show wouldn't
14:00
Speaker 1: have been so lovely and kind if her father's waiting
14:04
Speaker 1: back at the hotel to slap her with a lawsuit
14:06
Speaker 1: for stealing this necklace and being this teenage runaway. Like
14:10
Speaker 1: I want her to have both, right, Like I want
14:12
Speaker 1: I want Valaria to have her family and her found family.
14:17
Speaker 2: M Yeah, I don't know. Well, we may never know. Actually,
14:22
Speaker 2: we're gonna have the rite fan fiction for Ride after. Okay,
14:29
Speaker 2: and finally, Isabelle, how did you feel we'll get to
14:33
Speaker 2: the big like a groundbreaking shock twist in a second.
14:38
Speaker 2: But do you think she was right in leaving Cash
14:43
Speaker 2: in jail?
14:44
Speaker 3: I certainly understand the motivation. Mm hmmm.
14:48
Speaker 1: All season long, she's felt frustrated with him and the
14:52
Speaker 1: way he handles things. He gets in a fight with Gus,
14:56
Speaker 1: and he's fighting with Tucker Clark and she doesn't really
14:58
Speaker 1: get him. And she's also in this place where I
15:01
Speaker 1: don't want to do this again. I've lost two of you.
15:03
Speaker 1: I don't fault her motivation there. Okay, that's fair, But
15:10
Speaker 1: I also thought I kind of thought she was because
15:14
Speaker 1: she's been discovering all this stuff about Austin, right, and
15:17
Speaker 1: how Austin was really not this golden child that they
15:20
Speaker 1: thought he was. And I kind of feel like she
15:23
Speaker 1: was putting that on Cash a little bit.
15:26
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
15:27
Speaker 2: I think if it was Austin in jail, she would
15:30
Speaker 2: have like sprung them, But I feel like she it
15:34
Speaker 2: was misplaced anger and she was putting it on Cash
15:38
Speaker 2: and leaving him in jail.
15:40
Speaker 3: Yeah.
15:41
Speaker 1: I like that perspective, And I also wonder if She's like,
15:43
Speaker 1: I didn't have a chance to do anything about what
15:47
Speaker 1: Austin was doing, and now I have a chance to
15:49
Speaker 1: make a change, and maybe it's directed in the wrong place,
15:53
Speaker 1: but at least I can feel like I'm doing something,
15:55
Speaker 1: even though I'm walking away and leaving my son in jail.
15:57
Speaker 3: And obviously they all felt like it was the wrong
15:59
Speaker 3: choice too.
16:00
Speaker 1: Missy goes back to get him, but I understand that
16:04
Speaker 1: her brain was mixed up.
16:05
Speaker 2: But I think you're right, like it.
16:07
Speaker 1: Was pointed at the wrong sun. But the other son's
16:10
Speaker 1: not here anymore. So once again Cash bears the brunt
16:14
Speaker 1: of Austin's misdeeds exactly, And of course we'd have zero
16:20
Speaker 1: resolution to Cody and Isabelle.
16:23
Speaker 3: Yeah what about Cody, Yeah, kind of show up. No,
16:28
Speaker 3: not at all.
16:29
Speaker 2: I was a little disappointed in her because she's so
16:34
Speaker 2: angry at Cash, and then all of a sudden, she
16:36
Speaker 2: does a full one eighty and she's like, I wouldn't
16:39
Speaker 2: let my son ride without me being.
16:41
Speaker 3: There, or something like that.
16:42
Speaker 2: I can't remember what she said exactly, but I was like, dude,
16:46
Speaker 2: pick a Lane, are you supporting him? Are you not
16:50
Speaker 2: supporting him? What's going on here? Yes? Now, let's talk
16:54
Speaker 2: about the big surprise at the end. Okay, Polly shows
16:58
Speaker 2: up and may I mention, is Polly have a totally
17:02
Speaker 2: different hair color that she did in earlier episodes. It
17:05
Speaker 2: was like red, I thought of this episode, Okay, no surprise,
17:10
Speaker 2: there's this kid. I'm gonna put two and two together
17:13
Speaker 2: that has to be Austin's kid. And sure enough, she says, Isabel,
17:18
Speaker 2: this is your grandson.
17:20
Speaker 3: Let's talk about timeline here for a second. Mm hmm.
17:23
Speaker 2: Polly says she knew like Austin had a whole bunch
17:26
Speaker 2: of stuff going on, so she didn't want to burden
17:29
Speaker 2: him with letting him know that this was his child, right.
17:33
Speaker 3: Who cares?
17:34
Speaker 2: He's not I don't think he's buried to Missy yet.
17:38
Speaker 3: The kid, but I don't know's old?
17:40
Speaker 1: I know, so like who cares you have a kid
17:44
Speaker 1: like from a previous relationship, Like this is like the
17:47
Speaker 1: luke Danes doesn't know about April because his April's mom
17:50
Speaker 1: is like, I didn't think you could handle it too
17:52
Speaker 1: bad eighty, Like this is information that he deserves to
17:55
Speaker 1: know one hundred percent exactly. Yeah, So I was like, uh,
18:02
Speaker 1: did this just come out of nowhere? Was this always planned,
18:05
Speaker 1: like they wanted Polly to have Austin's kid, And I
18:09
Speaker 1: don't know is that where where is Austin's money going?
18:13
Speaker 1: Like where did he lose all of this money? Like
18:16
Speaker 1: I know he was gambling to make money, but he
18:18
Speaker 1: had sponsorship money. Where was the money going? Was it
18:21
Speaker 1: going to Wyat?
18:23
Speaker 3: I he never know. I don't know.
18:26
Speaker 2: I My understanding is that he was aware the last
18:31
Speaker 2: four months before his death. He was aware. So he
18:35
Speaker 2: was like paying Polly for you know, child support. Are
18:39
Speaker 2: we talking millions of dollars?
18:42
Speaker 3: Yeah?
18:43
Speaker 1: And did he refinance the tractor or stop making payments somehow?
18:47
Speaker 1: Why is that all of a sudden being repossessed and
18:50
Speaker 1: they're like surprised by it. Yeah, because surely they should
18:53
Speaker 1: have looked at the books sometime in the last year
18:55
Speaker 1: and a half since Austin has passed. It's frustrating the
18:58
Speaker 1: watch if this show comes back. I really wanted to
19:01
Speaker 1: come back with a different writer. Sorry, well, okay, I
19:05
Speaker 1: have to tell you that you know that the showrunner's
19:07
Speaker 1: not coming back.
19:08
Speaker 3: Oh I did not know that.
19:10
Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, let me find the actual quote from
19:14
Speaker 1: an article on heavy dot com. The showrunner is Sherry
19:18
Speaker 1: Cooper Landsman, and she says she hinted at a second
19:22
Speaker 1: season in a March twenty twenty three interview with Deadline. However,
19:26
Speaker 1: she also told Deadline she's out after season one. The
19:28
Speaker 1: quote is, I set up some development stuff beforehand. I
19:31
Speaker 1: knew an executive at Blink who brought me on because
19:33
Speaker 1: I had done family drama. But I could only commit
19:35
Speaker 1: to the first season. I'm excited to watch it go on.
19:40
Speaker 3: She says.
19:40
Speaker 1: It's Rebecca Boss and Chris Mossy's world. It's they're the
19:43
Speaker 1: co showrunners, they're the creators of the show. She would
19:47
Speaker 1: not be coming back, so that could change things in
19:49
Speaker 1: this world.
19:50
Speaker 3: A little bit.
19:51
Speaker 2: I think for me to watch a second season of it,
19:54
Speaker 2: it needs to be more dramatic. Yeah, it needs to
19:59
Speaker 2: be bingible, like I need a cliffhanger every episode.
20:04
Speaker 3: I agree with that.
20:06
Speaker 1: I could use a little more drama, and I feel
20:09
Speaker 1: like there's been enough character development that we could get
20:11
Speaker 1: into like those dramatic moments, more like we know who
20:14
Speaker 1: these people are. There was so much backstory set up
20:17
Speaker 1: in this season. Let's dig into actual drama happening. One
20:22
Speaker 1: thing I think is interesting is we start off with
20:25
Speaker 1: kind of two villains in this show, and by the
20:28
Speaker 1: end we end with a different villain, and they're baby villains, right,
20:31
Speaker 1: Like Janine starts off as a me and girl and
20:34
Speaker 1: we love to hate her, and she has a real transformation.
20:38
Speaker 1: She's still real sarcastic and snippy and has that real
20:41
Speaker 1: kind of like dry humor, but she's fully on tough side.
20:46
Speaker 1: We've seen a change in her and I like that.
20:49
Speaker 1: And the other villain that we started off with is
20:51
Speaker 1: jab who I don't we end with as a villain
20:54
Speaker 1: like that dinner where he's very warm and welcoming the
20:57
Speaker 1: McMurray's back into the Frontier family. Did this seem sinister
21:02
Speaker 1: to me?
21:02
Speaker 3: Right? Let me ask you. Don't you remember from.
21:05
Speaker 1: The earlier episodes where Isabelle was like, we got to
21:07
Speaker 1: get out from under JB. And now she's like toasted
21:11
Speaker 1: with him, so excited that Cash gets his sponsorship from JB.
21:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, dumb, Yeah, it's confusing.
21:19
Speaker 3: It's confusing.
21:20
Speaker 1: It seems like we like JB now, and it seems
21:22
Speaker 1: like the all the villainry has been put on too.
21:25
Speaker 1: Austin and even Tucker Clark was kind of a bad guy.
21:28
Speaker 3: And while I.
21:29
Speaker 1: Don't think He's like a stand up dude. He's not
21:31
Speaker 1: this like sinister in the background bad guy. Yeah that
21:35
Speaker 1: we were led to believe, Like, Okay, was he running
21:38
Speaker 1: bets and asking people to throw it? Sure, that's not
21:41
Speaker 1: a great dude, but his dealings with Austin.
21:45
Speaker 3: Austin came to him mm hmmm.
21:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Austin put himself in a bad situation with
21:51
Speaker 1: Tucker Clark right right right. I would love it if,
21:58
Speaker 1: maybe if on a season two we could get some
22:00
Speaker 1: flashback with more Austin total. Side note, listener Michelle sent
22:06
Speaker 1: me some stuff. I guess Marcus Rossner, who plays Austin,
22:10
Speaker 1: had to go through this like major surgery. Apparently in
22:15
Speaker 1: early February he tore two hamstring muscles and he had
22:19
Speaker 1: to have a major Yeah, he had to have like
22:21
Speaker 1: major reconstructive surgery, and he shared about it on his Instagram,
22:27
Speaker 1: so like showing like learning how to walk again and
22:29
Speaker 1: doing all this. So I'm wondering if that's why we
22:32
Speaker 1: didn't get a whole Well, honestly, I don't even know
22:34
Speaker 1: when they filmed this show, so I would imagine they
22:38
Speaker 1: were probably done with it prior to him having his surgery. Anyway,
22:42
Speaker 1: my point is I would like to see him come
22:44
Speaker 1: back in flashbacks so we get a better understanding of
22:48
Speaker 1: what he was doing. Bute, who knows. I don't know.
22:52
Speaker 1: I don't think this show's going to come back to
22:53
Speaker 1: be honest, Oh, I don't know. I feel like it
22:57
Speaker 1: could really go either way. The writer's strike is not
22:59
Speaker 1: helping anybody, so.
23:01
Speaker 3: I don't know. We shall see, we shall see.
23:04
Speaker 1: Let us know in our Facebook group if you think
23:05
Speaker 1: Ryot's getting renewed for a season two?
23:07
Speaker 3: Did it redeem itself in the end?
23:10
Speaker 2: For me personally, when this episode ended, I was like,
23:14
Speaker 2: I could watch a season two right, and you know me,
23:17
Speaker 2: I've like not like the show all season long.
23:21
Speaker 1: So I think it introduced just enough new drama and
23:25
Speaker 1: maybe eliminated some of the things that we weren't super
23:29
Speaker 1: pumped about.
23:30
Speaker 3: So right, I like the Valeria drama.
23:32
Speaker 1: We were led to believe like that was the big
23:34
Speaker 1: dark secret and that's so mild and minor, and now
23:37
Speaker 1: we're getting into like dirty Austin secrets.
23:40
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. Here's what I.
23:43
Speaker 1: Don't understand when they pulled the bull names right, Like,
23:48
Speaker 1: how was Austin rigging it?
23:49
Speaker 3: They drew a name out of a hat.
23:52
Speaker 1: I have no idea, and then Polly's like, I can
23:55
Speaker 1: fix it. Everyone saw who he pulled. How are you
23:57
Speaker 1: going to fix it? I could understand jgitimately going to
24:01
Speaker 1: them and saying, this is the bull that killed my brother.
24:03
Speaker 1: Can I write a different one that's a different story.
24:06
Speaker 1: But someone going in and being like, oh, we're gonna.
24:08
Speaker 3: Puole old switch through? What are you talking about?
24:13
Speaker 2: That bull's totally Hurricane Like, yeah, I don't know.
24:16
Speaker 3: I don't know either.
