• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Should I look up ratings? I did?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: You? Did?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I have it? Tell me? This episode from Sunday pulled
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: in eight hundred and ninety nine thousand viewers, a big drop.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: It came in fifty out of one hundred and fifty
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: with zero point zero eight percent of the demo. Yikes,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know is it a drop? Yeah? Thought, they're
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: no for a million last week ticked up a little bit. Well,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to say other than was The
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Way Home renewed for season two by this point? I
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: don't know. I have some numbers for Win Love Springs too, okay,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: one point four million viewers? Nice? Yeah, So it's kind
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of crazy to see the difference between the two shows.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I know they're on different channels in different days, but
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: right nearly double exactly? Are you ready to talk ride?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Would you like a synopsis? I would Missy heads to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Denver to judge a pageant. Isabelle and Hank realize selling
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the town on the stadium deal will be harder than
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: they expect it. Oh that's all we get. That's all
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: we get, guys. Okay, I would say there's two lead
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: storylines here. Would you say Cash or Missy's storyline takes
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the lead? They're pretty equal, I would say, but let's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: start with Missy. Okay. So she does get the call
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: from Frontier to come judge the Miss Rodeo Mountain like
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a regional Miss Rodeo competition because she was Miss Rodeo
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Colorado something I know, a mountain. Yeah. What we hear
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: in the beginning is a memory of her and Austin
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: talking about getting married quickly, but she's not going to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: be able to participate in the big Miss Rodeo USA
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: pageant now that she should be married missus An Mrs. Yeah, Yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that's weird. I think that's normal with pageants though, so too,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and I was like, should they have just waited, like
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: let her have her moments? Why is he in such
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a hurry to get married now and put yourself in However,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: old Missy was twenty two, I think I would probably
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: choose getting married as well. She doesn't have the long
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: term view here, Yeah, but really, what is the pageant
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: going to pay off for her in the long run? Anyway?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I think we're all building up to her life took
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a different path because she was married to Austin, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: there is some contention there because he wasn't the person
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that she thought he was and did she quote give
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: up for him and he got to be the star
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: while she was just his unofficial coach in the background.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: So I think there's some of her coming into her
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: own here, like she couldn't be fully herself when she
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: was married to Austin. That's fine, I agree with that,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: so we get Missy interviewing pageant girls, and the first
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: pageant girl we get, we come to find out that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that's the Frontier favorite. They want to rig the competition
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: because she's pretty and she's got a lot of social
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: media followers, but she is dumb as a box of rocks.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, cause I couldn't believe. The line was like, oh,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: she's got great socials and I was like, ew ew
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: ew they just want this person. Then hire her as
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a brand ambassador, don't like let her win. Great point,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and then this kind of paints the picture of why
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Isabelle is so trying to get out from under the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: thumb of JB and Frontier because things are not the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: beautiful picture that they might seem that they are. You know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that's so really good point is that they're not an
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: honest like company or corporation or whatever. Yes, she's yeah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: that's interesting. My favorite is she talks about she wants
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to pass some regulations and Missy presses her and she goes,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you know, like bills and stuff, and it hurts. It hurts,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it does, but I did love We get the next girl.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: She talks about how she had anxiety and horses have
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: saved her, and Missy has this memory of training with Isabelle,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and there's some contention because prior to leaving for this,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Isabelle had said to her like, I don't know if
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you got it well. I think Isabel's piss off right
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: at Nissy for letting Cash down as a coach. Yes,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: but who's that fault here? I know it's Cash. Cash
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: is the one who's at fault. He went to her.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: She's not a mind reader. He threw the punch like, yeh,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: bad decision in hitting somebody and those out of consequences
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: my friend? Yeah. Is she supposed to be an inspecting
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: him top to bottom for injuries before he rides. I
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: know it's dumb from Isabelle's standpoint, I do at one
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: point kind of understand. Again, she's been dealt a shitty hand,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: So I imagine finding out that Cash road injured and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: put himself at risk freaks her the hell out, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: she reacts in a disproportionate way to what the situation required,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: simply because of her past experiences. We get this nice
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: moment between Missy and Isabelle, and maybe Missy is being
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: reminded of what isabel means to her. Did you notice
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: how like Missy would fully like zone out for like
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the longest time during these scenes so she can have
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: this like flashback or whatever that it'd be like Missy, Missy, yes,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: come back to lie. So is Missy the only judge
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: at this competition, right? We never see another judge, We
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: never see her talking to another judge. We never hear
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a discussion of other judges. You know we did. We
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: did at one point. Susan's like, oh, you need to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: go huddle up with the other Oh yeah, okay, yeah,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: well they couldn't cast them apparently exactly. Susan wants Missy
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to throw it, and Missy does the right thing, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: she does not. And what I think is interesting because
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: so Isabelle comes all the way to Denver to have
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: this confrontation with Missy, and when she came in, I
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: was like, Oh, she's coming in hot, but she almost
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: immediately apologizes.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: She does.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: But here's where I get hung up. Are all these
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: things happening in the same day. I know we're technically
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: talking about the Missy storyline right now, but earlier in
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the day, Isabelle was having a meeting. Yes, did she
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: then leave and drive all the way to Denver. Yeah,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: just to talk to Missy yet what what and then
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: spends the night in Denver get on FaceTime or something. Right,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I don't understand. The timeline of this show drives me bonkers.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: It's not the first time they've done this. No, And
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I think they needed that moment of Missy breaking away
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: because also in this timeline we have Missy has a
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: date with Gus. Things seem to go very well, they kiss,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and then she panics and runs away. Basically immediately after
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: that moment, she walks into the hotel and there's Isabelle
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: looking angry, and so from Missy's perspective, she's like, Man,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I just kiss this other person. Here's my former mother
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: in law, I was married to her son. I'm kissing
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: this other person. She's mad at me because I'm feeling
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: her other son. There's all of this going on, So
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I think it feeds into the drama of the moment
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: for her to be there. Yeah, I'm saying I'm going
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to say drama with quotation marks. Sure, it's not all
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: that dramatic to me, Like, none of this is. I mean,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: if your conflict averse like I am, you could understand
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the like sick to your stomach feeling. Missy might have
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: been like, oh God, I'm gonna get in trouble, because
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: that's how I would feel, even though it's very low stakes. Well,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and this is also actually the Missy storyline. The next
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: day she is Belle are talking. I think it's the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: next day, like when she gives her scores at the competition.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: We'll hear me out because like Isabelle sees that Missy's
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: like struggling with something. And I think here, Missy's obviously
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: hung up on like wanting to tell Isabelle about Austin's
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: cheating oh uh huh, but decides not to, but like
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you know, isabel like consoles her a little bit. But
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: then I think then she leaves. I think that's the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: next day. I think she leaves. I can't remember exactly.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I remember Missy holding back on talking to her about Absten,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: but I don't remember at which point that happened. But
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and I get it. I don't want to tell you
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that I found out that your son was cheating. I mean,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: he's he's gone, he's dead. Yeah, I would never I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: would never say anything. But what I think is interesting
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: is when she has this converronation with Isabelle and she
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: tells her what Frontier wants from her. We heard earlier
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: in the episode that Missy's ambassadorship is one of the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: things that's keeping the ranch afloat, and we'll talk about
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the Cash storyline, but Isabelle throws that out, like, these
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: are the things we got going for us. We've got
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Missy's ambassadorship. Knowing that she still says, Screwfrontier, you give
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the scores that you feel comfortable giving. And that's the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: moment she's like fully on the east side. I think, well,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I think isabel wants to not stick it to Frontier,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: but she doesn't. Yeah, Frontier is bad because she's got
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: this other like Canyon rodeo deal that happen they don't.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: And even later on she talks to Cash and she's like,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to ride. We don't need you
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to ride anymore because we got the rodeo money coming
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: in and maybe Tuff's gonna be a bit old pop star.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: But we'll get to that in a minute. To wrap
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: up Missy's storyline a little bit, in the final portion
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of the episode, we're at the beers and Bowls event. Yeah,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: we have her and Gus. Gus comes in and is
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: like apologizing, I'm so sorry. I must have been reading
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: it wrong. I rushed and she's like, you didn't read
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: it wrong already. Now smooch snoache and who's what Sosh? Yes,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: And we need to talk about Cash because, first of all,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: in that moment, I felt so bad for Valeria. How
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: can I root for a Cash Valeria pairing when Cash
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: is so hung up on Missy that they have to
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: show him watching this happen. Obviously he's having feelings about it. Yeah,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: you can't. It's it's a dumb triangle that they're trying
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to create here. Yeah, I'm gonna have a hard time
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: rooting for Valeria. And I think the scenes from the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: next episode make it look like things are headed that direction.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think I saw the preview for next week.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Oh there's a wedding. Oh my god. Every episode there
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: is something, There is some event. Next week is a wedding.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: This week was the bulls and beer, last week was
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: something nowse like comebecue, yep, saw we something? Oh well,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: let's talk about Cash. Cash has got a lot going on,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: but he cannot get out of Austin's shadow. Can I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: stop you there for a second, please, listener. Michelle messaged
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: us and she said, hey, I don't know if you notice,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: but the last week on Ride, you know, opening scene,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: they show Cash in his fight with Gus, but he
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: punches like a metal pole. He misses Gus. Yeah, he
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: was like trying to go for his ribs or his stomach,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: but he hits a pole instead. And I was like,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think I remember seeing that in the original
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: episode where they had gotten in the fight. Now this
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: makes sense why his hand is broken and Gus's face
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: is not broken. Indeed, right, they just wanted to point
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that out. Thank you, Michelle. I struggled with this Cash
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: storyline because there's there's a lot going on. One He's
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: in Austin's shadow, He's got this broken hand trying to
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: break Austin's stupid mechanical bull record. Right, You're I'm so
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: annoyed with Cash as a bull rider. I can't take
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: you seriously. If you're not taking yourself serious, your sport, yeah,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: your health fit the hell down. You are going to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: ruin your chances permanently of being a bull rider. But
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: then Missy comes in. She feels the same way. She's like,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I don't take you seriously. You don't take you seriously.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I quit, she leads. This brings us to a conversation
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that he has with Isabelle, and he says to her,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: he tells her his motivation for why he fights so hard.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Did you remember this moment? Yeah, it's like he's struggling
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: with a little PTSD and he saw a lot of
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: people get killed and those who had families, and he
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: feels like he really needs to like do something purposeful
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: with his life. Yes, which I kind of like that,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: but they're not making me believe it. This is the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: only moment where he talks about that. Every other moment
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: is about Austin, even down to the end when he
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: has to break Austin's stupid record again, he still has
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to have that I'm gonna break Austin's record moment. Whea
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: is it? That's a good point? Which is it? I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: would I would care more if it was not the
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Austin competitive storyline, Yes, because competing with your dead brother
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: is dumb, and I know that sibling rivalry is real.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: But he's gone, I'm not a dude, so maybe I
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: just don't get it the need to be the alpha.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I think he's probably always lived in Austin's shadow, especially
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: with the Missy thing too so, and he is the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: middle brother. For some reason, I thought Tough was older,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: but at one point Tough calls Cash his older brother
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: in this episode, so he's got that middle child. Marsha
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Marsha Marsha situation happening a little bit. M Marcia is
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the oldest, I understand, but that chance, says Marsha Marsha Marsha.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Okay Val is collateral damage in this episode. She has
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: less than one and a half scenes she totally does
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and one of them, Cash tells her about his injury,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that it's broken. She calls Missy to try and get
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Missy over to Cash's side, like she just wait a minute,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: do I hear something in your voice say you're not
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: liking this show right now. I don't hate this show
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the way you do. I know that will bring you
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of door. This is not true, This is
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: not true. This isn't my favorite show on television. No,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I don't find but I never said it was. I
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: don't find it painful to sit and watch. I do
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: find the behavior of some of the characters frustrating. The
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Valeria character could do with a little bit of a
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: life outside of the mc murray's I agree, but it's
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: so could miss you. And thankfully it's happening with Gus. Finally,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Gus is not gonna last forever. If this show gets
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: a second season, if we go on, I feel like
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: they're setting us up for Cash and Missy to be
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the Ross and Rachel of this show. I could be wrong,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: but Valeria needs a life outside of this ranch, and
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I feel like if she and Cash do get together,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: it will burn fast, burn hot, and burn out quickly.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: He is way hung up on Missy. She's just a
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: distraction to him. Anything else say about Cash? Oh, Cash
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: is the one who has to break it to Isabelle
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: about the cheating scandal with Awestin. Yes, of course, they
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: don't show like Isabel's reaction to it. We just see
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: her say something to Missy at the end, like I
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: wonder why you needed to cheat so badly? It's just
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that's that's all we get from it. Yes, and the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: same question we asked last episode, like, well, there's only
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a couple episodes left, people, let's wrap it up. I agree,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I agree, and this is Oh, this show makes me
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: so crazy. Megan, I hear you, And as I was
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: watching this episode, we talked at the beginning of this
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: particular recap series about shows that are meant to be
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: streamed and shows that are watching episodically. I almost feel
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: like this show would be better if it were dropped
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: all at once and streamed all at once, because there's
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: not enough of a reveal in every episode to be satisfying. Yeah,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: to let it stand on its own, yes, it almost
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: needs to be, like I need to immediately watch the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: next episode to get some resolution on some of the
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: pieces that were introduced in this episode. However, I don't
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: think they don't connect them though, as it is right now.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: To me, they seem like they try to wrap up
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: these storylines, but they're never fully wrapped up. And then
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, they're never fully connected. Does that
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: make sense, No, it doesn't make sense. I think it
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: makes sense. I can trace the through lines in every
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: episode I know, but to me not compelling enough. That's different.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Like compelling is one thing. The lines are there, whether
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: they're interesting to you is a totally other story. I agree.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I think this show could use a little bit more drama,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: a lot more drama, a lot more drama, a lot
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: more drama, a lot more suspense. I just I can't
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: imagine that the whole Valarious storyline is done. It's got
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to come back up again, right, Yes, agree, But they
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: don't give us enough, like give me a breadcrumb in
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: each episode about it. You know what I mean? Yes,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I do. I'm going to be very disappointed if it
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: turns out that her poker storyline was true, because it's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: too easy. We got to get that bad dude back
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: lurking As a hint, some something's still going on now
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: in this episode today, I thought, God, Isabelle so hung
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: up on like their McMurray name and all their memorabilia
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: they have now hear me out potentially the Austin cheating scandal.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Could this completely blow up their potential to have this
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Rodeo stadium? Is he going to solely their good name? Yes,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: like it's going to It's going to come out somehow, right, Yeah,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Polly's not the only person who knows about it, No,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and with Missy chasing it down and potentially asking questions,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: it's going to stir up other people. But I thought
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: The biggest clue in this episode was that isabel was
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: talking about basically she's not a financial investor in this
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: whole stadium thing, but she has her name and so
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: much memorabilia, you know, which is supposed to be the draw.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: And if Austin's a big old cheater, it might cause
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: some problems, right, if Austin gets canceled all of a sudden,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the stadium's on the line. Yeah, and they lose their ranch. Well,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the stadium, okay, cause another baby storyline
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: is we've got Isabelle and Hank clashing with Daniel Booker.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: We've got the small town versus big bad money guy.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. And there's some annoying pieces to this, like
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Daniel Treath isabelt like she doesn't know anything. And while
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: she may not be a financier and she might not
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: have big contacts, the woman has been running a family
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: business for years, So he could be less of a dick,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: he could be a little bit more open to what
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: knowledge she brings to the table. Yeah, and what he
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: needs to be aware of is there's gonna be pushback,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: we find out. And he's not an idiot like small
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: towns are going to have opinions about what happens there,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and nobody likes the big, bad money guy, so he
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: needs her on his side. Now, what do you think
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: about Hank as the middleman here between Daniel Booker and Isabelle.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I think Hank is so far up Daniel Booker's behind.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: He's kind of abandoned to me a little bit. He
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: was like, this is all about Canyon and bringing glory
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: to our small town. But all Hank really cares about
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: is the glory. Let's talk about Isabelle's speech. Okay, do
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: you have any thoughts on that. I do. So, you know,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Hank's up there and he's losing the crowd basically right,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: they're turning on him. She steps in and she leans
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: real hard into that community.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think they need Isabelle to soften the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: rested of townspeople. I think you're right. Her speech to
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: me felt a little flat because while I think it
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: was motivating and very MLM raw ra, I need you
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: to trust me, there were no details. Yeah, I need
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: you to trust me because I'm a part of this
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: town too. But she doesn't really have the power to
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: stop Daniel Booker in the face of well, I've got
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: this local contractor from Canyon, or I've got this guy
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: who can do it for half the price from out
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: of town. She doesn't have the power to slow down
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: that machine, right, Her voice can only go so far.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: So obviously we haven't seen the last of the town
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: versus the Booker's conflict. So perhaps the townspeople are going
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to turn on Isabelle at some point, especially when they
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: find out you gave me your word. You know, yes,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: we'll see Okay, Well, my favorite part of this episode
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: is tough and mean Janine Jake Foy the way Hallmark
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: News and notem he got engaged. Oh I saw that
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: so cute. Yeah, beautiful photos. But he posted on Instagram
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: a photo before this episode dropped of tough and Janine
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: on stage and I responded, I was like, tough and
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: ma Janine say today, So we get a little bit
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: of development from her character this week. I didn't hate her, no,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you know, she's still like snide and sarcastic and tough,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: but she's does it in a way that she's fully
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: on Tough's side, and I loved seeing her in that
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: moment where she cared about someone else more than she
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: cared about herself. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, I don't think
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: she's a great singer. I don't think she's a great
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: solo singer. No, she sounded okay when she was like harmonizing. Agree. Yeah,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I like when Jake voicings, I thought their energy was
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: mismatched on stage because he was like really grooving out
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and she wasn't. Janine is not fully there for us
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: to give her like the I'm writing for her, but
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: she's headed in the right direction for me. I'm sure
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: she's gonna throw a tantrum when she finds out Missy
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and Guss are together? Are there no other eligible men
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: for Janine? Right down? Janine and Valeria need to walk
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: away from the McMurray's Girls' night Out, get spin off
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: shap get on an app Ranchers Only, Farmer Wants a Wife? Dude,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I think the ranchers and farmers would like to be differentiated. Sorry,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I was just you know, there's a heavy show called
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Farmer Wants a Wife based now there's a Farmer's Only app?
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Just why I said, Is there a ranchers only appy thing?
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but there's a market for it in Canyon, Colorado,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: is Canyon, Colorado real, I don't think so. I have
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: a couple. Did you see that?
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And I know we don't do that on this I
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: want to hear them. Okay. The first one is towards
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the episode. I think Missy gets the
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: call from Frontier or whatever. Anyway, she's wearing the cutest
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: jeans and cropped flannel jacket, so adorable. Oh, this is
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: like the first time I've seen Missy in an outfit
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: that I liked. A jacket, I think you would like
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: a lot. Also, in another scene, when Daniel and Hank
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and Isabella are around the conference table and they're talking,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: they're going through like that notebook or whatever, and they're
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: talking about the Massy and Massy pr Firm. Chris Massey
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: is one of the creators an EP of this show.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: And that's so random that I even picked that up.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: I just remember reading in an article weeks ago about him.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I thought, Oh, that's funny. I probably put my name
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: in something too, totally. I love that easter egg, like
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: stan Lee being in all of the Marvel movies anyway,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: he's the comic book writer and then he had a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: cameo in all the movies until he passed away. I
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: was like, isn't he dead? That he is now, but
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: he was quite a few of the movie question the box,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm talking about? The Amazon box? Yes?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: So this box gets delivered and this box has a
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: major role in this episode. Isabelle takes it to Missy,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Missy tosses it in the house, Valeria gives it to
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Cash and Missy says what it is like? Oh, I
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: ordered some bands for Cash, but they never open it.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: And because this box is passed from person to person
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: multiple times, it has a lot of airtime. Mm hmm.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I wrote in my notes text no, because they don't
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: like zoom in on the Amazon even though any Eagle
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I viewers like, that's an Amazon box. I wrote what's
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: in the box? And I had like a seven moment.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's something more sinister in the box. Is
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: it not what Missy thought she was? There was no
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: payoff to that moment. I was a little bit disappointed
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: that my Hallmark movies and mysteries watching brain didn't pay off.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: But that's what I was thinking. I hate to disappoint you.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Does that the wrong movie? No, that's the right movie.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: At the end of the episode, missing cash or talking
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: like right before she agrees to be his coach again,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: He goes, I'm using the stretch bands. I'm getting stronger, right, No,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I understand what I'm saying is there was no payoff.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: What was in the box of what she said was
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: in the box, it was really stretch bands. But can
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I point out that the stretch bands arrived the day before?
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: So how much could he have really been using what?
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: You're getting stronger? Yes? Who are we writing for in
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: this episode? I think maybe it needs to go to
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Missy for me. Girlfriend's spinning plates all episode long. Yeah,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: she's busy, she's here, she's there, she's kissing boys, she's
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: all in conflict, she's quitting, she's putting herself back into
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the narrative. Oh the show. Part of me really wants
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: it to be over. But then also I really needed
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: to come together. I can't just quit on it yet.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I wonder if this says I've been renewed for season
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: two because there are no writers to write a season
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: two right now. That's a good point. Who knows when
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and they would be able to sit down and start
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: working on it, right, Great girl, yep full of them. Hey,
