And you? Yeah, three, I got three.
[Travis] That-That's what you're gonna

Hey, do you remember... do you remember Stacy's?
Remember that old saloon?
There's a-- there's a saloon
- Do I remember Stacy's? - in Gateway.
And back in its day, it was pretty wild.
In the men's bathroom, there's a hole
in the drywall above the urinal.
And the staff put a sign there that says,
"Customer looked down and saw the size
of his penis and put his head through the wall
out of fucking despair."
That's how-- that's how rank
this place is. So, we're--
we're outside, and there's this old boy,
and he's very drunk.
And he sees us,
and he throws his keys
as hard as he can, hits Rip in the chest.
He says, "Where's my fucking truck?!"

where the fucking truck is.
- You remember this? - Shit, yeah. How could I forget?

"Son, you would think
there were ten of me."
And he-he was drunk,
but he wasn't stupid, so he grabs his keys
and off he goes. We hop in our truck and leave.
Ryan looks at him and just goes, "Rip, where did
you hear that? That's the funniest thing I ever heard."

it wasn't funny first time I heard it."

In yet another bizarre turn in the death
of Governor John Dutton,
Lewis and Clark County has filed
aggravated assault and domestic violence charges
against Attorney General Jamie Dutton,
whose vehicle was found by authorities in Central Idaho.
Idaho State Police state that the vehicle
was intentionally set on fire in what appears to be
an attempt to destroy evidence.
Lewis and Clark officials have not
ruled out additional charges,
and the state assembly is meeting later today
to begin impeachment proceedings against the attorney general.

[Elsa] 141 years ago,
my father was told of this valley,
and here's where we stayed.
Seven generations.
My father was told they would come for this land,
and he promised to return it.
Nowhere was that promise written.
It faded with my father's death
but somehow lived in the spirit of this place.
Men cannot truly own wild land.
To own land, you must blanket it in concrete,
cover it with buildings,
stack it with houses so thick,
people can smell each other's supper.
You must rape it to sell it.
Raw land. Wild land.
Free land can never be owned.
But some men pay dearly for the privilege of its stewardship.
They will suffer and sacrifice to live off it
and live with it
and hopefully teach the next generation
to do the same.
And if they falter,
find another willing to keep the promise.
