Before writing a single word of Landman, Sheridan went to Billy Bob Thornton and told him: I want the guy from Bad Santa to run an oil company in West Texas. Thornton's answer was immediate: that sounds fucking awesome. Sheridan didn't call anyone else.

Rogan puts the obvious question directly: how the hell does Sheridan run Yellowstone, Landman, 1883, Lioness, and multiple other projects simultaneously without a single dud? The answer turns out to be systematic brutality against waste. Sheridan has worked with the same core crew since Wind River — when they were freezing on a Utah mountain with no producers in sight and no budget — and every person in that crew has been promoted from within the organization. PAs became first ADs. Camera operators became directors. Everyone knows exactly how things work, so nobody needs a meeting to figure it out. The contrast with standard Hollywood practice is stark: tone meetings, prop show-and-tells, 12 weeks of pre-production — all of it exists, Sheridan argues, not to make better shows but to give middle management a reason to exist. He doesn't ask permission to choose a lighter for a scene. He just shoots. The result is that every show since Wind River has been good, which Rogan notes is a genuinely extraordinary record given the volume.
Ibogaine is a psychedelic from Africa with no recreational appeal — it's 24 hours of reliving your worst moments — but it rewires addiction at the neurological level. Rick Perry went from measurable brain atrophy to none at all within six months. Joe Rogan went to the White House to pitch Trump directly, and within a week Trump was signing it.
Sheridan's secret is the same core crew from Wind River, all promoted from within, who simply don't hold the meetings that networks invent to justify their existence. No tone meetings. No prop show-and-tells. No 12-week prep — just 4 weeks. Every show, no duds.
Ibogaine, a potent psychedelic from the iboga tree, can rewire addiction in the brain and for a large percentage of people just one dose is sufficient to free them from substances.
Former Texas Governor Rick Perry had age-related brain atrophy confirmed by scans; after ibogaine treatment it was reduced by 25%, and 6 months later his doctor found it completely gone.
While a typical television production preps for 12 weeks before filming, Taylor Sheridan's streamlined team does it in just 4 weeks.
AI and drones are about to permanently alter warfare. Fully autonomous drones with devastating payloads can be pre-programmed, launched, and complete their missions without a single human decision after takeoff. Sheridan calls this the teenage years of a new kind of warfare — and he's terrified of what happens when it grows up.
The entire plot of the original Terminator film depends on the phone book. The Terminator looks up 'Sarah Connor,' finds multiple listings, and starts killing them one by one. No phone book, no movie.
Rico has already appeared in Den of Thieves, Den of Thieves 2, and Roadhouse alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Dave Bautista. Jason Statham is developing a specific role for him. Working alongside elite actors taught Rico something about himself: the emotional suppression that makes him a great fighter is exactly the material that makes great acting — if he learns to stop pushing it away.
Trump joked that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. personally ran over, butchered, and delivered the evening's beef tenderloin to the dinner — then topped it with a punchline about RFK wanting to serve raccoon roadkill as an appetizer. The crowd's laughter at jokes targeting his own administration signaled a rare night of good-natured self-deprecation from Trump.
Jimmy Tatro is playing the nemesis-son to Will Ferrell's washed-up golfer in The Hawk, his fifth project with Ferrell and Ferrell's first lead TV series. The real highlight: Molly Shannon, playing his on-screen mother, drove off set on the last day with Chief Keef blasting from her subwoofers.
Alan Ritchson walked into a Thor audition with his sides still in his hand, half-assed it on a spotlight-lit stage before two silhouettes in a dark theater, and bombed so completely that the casting director broke protocol to call his team. The feedback? He had no craft. That one sentence sent him to acting school — and changed the trajectory of everything.
Alan Ritchson walked out of his Titans audition so sure he'd booked the lead that he called his wife and told her he was going to buy a Tesla. She said he hadn't booked it. He went and bought the car anyway. His instincts were right — he was offered the role — just not the one he wanted.
Reacher drew 56 million global viewers in a single week of Season 2. Alan Ritchson points out what makes it unusual: unlike ensemble shows, almost all of that visibility lands on one person. It's an anthology with a rotating cast built around a single titular character — and the scale of it is something even he calls unprecedented.
Motor City has no spoken dialogue. Every major leading man in Hollywood — Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler, Adrian Brody — was attached at some point. It was greenlit nine times. The concept was simple: Greg Silverman wanted a film everyone in the world could watch with the exact same experience, regardless of language. Alan Ritchson read the script and called it a masterpiece.
Working with Arnold Schwarzenegger showed Alan Ritchson what 100% recognition looks like. People feel Schwarzenegger before they see him — like a meteor approaching. Alan's wife wants a strict no-photos policy around family. Arnold stops for everyone. The contrast was a master class in how gratitude should manifest when fame is inescapable.
