**Joe Rogan** (0:30)
Oh, okay.

**Luke Grimes** (0:30)
So they just had the second episode air.

**Joe Rogan** (0:32)
I like to binge, man.

**Luke Grimes** (0:34)
Yeah, yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (0:34)
I like to wait a little bit, stay offline. I like to sit down and binge them.

**Luke Grimes** (0:38)
For sure.

**Joe Rogan** (0:39)
Yeah, but Yellowstone is fucking awesome. It's such a great show. Did you have any idea it was going to be what it is?

**Luke Grimes** (0:46)
No, I don't think anybody did. I thought it would find an audience for sure. I mean, Taylor was really, you know, hot at the time. He'd been nominated for Oscars, and I was kind of like surprised he was even writing a television show. He was just like so hot in the film business.

**Joe Rogan** (1:01)
How the fuck does that guy even sleep?

**Luke Grimes** (1:04)
I don't know, man.

**Joe Rogan** (1:05)
Where does he have the time? Every time I look in the news or there's a new show that he's doing, a new thing he's doing, it's like, how are you doing all this?

**Luke Grimes** (1:13)
It's impressive, you know? It's insane. There's a lot of people I've worked with where they do things that are impressive, but his is impossible.

**Joe Rogan** (1:21)
Right.

**Luke Grimes** (1:21)
You know, like someone would be like, could you direct a movie as good as Unforgiven? And I'm like, maybe if I tried real hard, could you write 10 television shows single-handedly? No, no way. Not possible.

**Joe Rogan** (1:33)
He directed Unforgiven?

**Luke Grimes** (1:35)
No, I'm just saying like people that I look up to, that I'm impressed by. It's like his is a different level.

**Joe Rogan** (1:40)
Right.

**Luke Grimes** (1:40)
His is like, it's like impossible.

**Joe Rogan** (1:42)
Who did direct Unforgiven?

**Luke Grimes** (1:44)
Clint Eastwood.

**Joe Rogan** (1:44)
That's the fucking greatest Western movie of all time.

**Luke Grimes** (1:47)
It is.

**Joe Rogan** (1:47)
It's the best. It's like, you know what it was like to me? It was like he was making up for all the silly Westerns and was like, let me show you what it was probably really like.

**Luke Grimes** (1:59)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (2:00)
What was really like when a man was about to get shot? What was really like when a dude was a stone cold killer? What was it really like the hardships of living back then?

**Luke Grimes** (2:09)
Yeah. And it's interesting too because he starts out kind of a loser.

**Joe Rogan** (2:13)
Yeah.

**Luke Grimes** (2:13)
Those first, you know, like the first three quarters of the movie, he's this sort of timid guy who's lost his power, you know? And then he takes that one sip of whiskey and it's all over for everybody else. It's a crazy premise.

**Joe Rogan** (2:27)
It's such a good movie. It's such a good fucking movie, man. But yeah, Taylor is a he's a real freak and there's not a lot of humans like him. And it's his background story. So interesting. You know, like he was just kind of scrambling around till he was almost like 40

**Luke Grimes** (2:42)
Yeah. It's like a real life Rocky story or something like rags to riches. The whole the whole thing.

**Joe Rogan** (2:47)
I know, man. It's just I just don't I guess that's why he has so much ambition because he knows what it's like to be poor. Right. You know, he knows it was like to like barely make it.

**Luke Grimes** (2:57)
Right.

**Joe Rogan** (2:57)
Then all of a sudden he's got a kid on the way and he's like, oh shit, I got to buckle down and really get moving. And he kept his foot on the gas.

**Luke Grimes** (3:06)
Absolutely. Do you guys keep in touch? Yeah. His buddies?

**Joe Rogan** (3:09)
Yeah. Yeah. All the time.

**Luke Grimes** (3:10)
I love Taylor.
