Everyone has their own reasons for enjoying Yellowstone. Some people like horses. Girls live out their violent fantasies through Beth. For me, there are two key reasons. One is the killer soundtrack and the fact they introduced me to Whiskey Myers. The other is watching Rip beat the crap out of people. According to actor Cole Hauser, there is a "Rip" in all of us.

Men's Health asked him how much Cole relates to Rip. Specifically, when it comes to bar fights. How much of this is legit and how much is an actor telling a tale is unclear. But this is still an all-time quote:

I’ve probably been in one on every continent. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with fighting. Sometimes I’m just tired of words, so let’s beat the shit out of each other. Maybe at the end of it you’ll buy me a Guinness and I’ll buy you a Bushmills, and we’ll be done. It’s kind of what guys do.

Again, I'm not sure how much of this is true. Hauser plays a lot of angry sumbitches. The actor started off his career playing a Southie street tough, a high school senior who enjoyed bullying freshmen (again, with a killer soundtrack), and a private school student who enjoyed bullying the Jewish kid. Typecasting? Who can say? But I'm not afraid to admit he was the one guy in Good Will Hunting I don't think I could take in a fight. So, there's that.

I also feel "sometimes I’m just tired of words" in my soul. The irony of relying on words to make a living is not lost on me.

Now if they could just figure out what the deal is with the second half of Season 5. The show ends after season 5 and Kevin Cosner is leaving. But now Costner isn't coming back unless he agrees with how they write off John Dutton. And apparently, there is a new show with Matthew McConaughey that takes place in the Yellowstone universe.
