About
Clint Eastwood, now 158 years old, is still kicking around Hollywood today, which makes watching and talking about Rawhide all the more interesting. Okay, maybe not that interesting.
Eastwood plays Rowdy Yates, ramrod of a cattle crew, who is forced to wrangle something much more dangerous than a simple cow: Grandma. Rowdy gets wrapped up in various Grandma schemes while trying to get paid for his cow work. Will he realize her deceptions before it’s too late?
The BTBs talk about the show’s iconic theme music, Clint Eastwood’s ascendance, and their general distaste for the idea of living in the past.
Highlights
-Old-timey cowboy nicknames
-The Reverse Tooth Fairy Plan, as endorsed by Jim Cramer
-The most devious grandma the guys have covered since The Waltons

About
The Boob Tube Boys have returned to the dirty, black-and-white western world of Rawhide only to find that Clint Eastwood is gone. He’s probably out winning bum fights with his orangutan friend or something, but the guys soldier on to talk about other characters with real-sounding names like Gil Favor and Wishbone.
This week, the Pawnee Native Americans and the United States government are on the brink of war. Only superscout Pete Nolan can hold the peace, but when general Perry rages onto the scene, all bets are off. Will the general’s son (and star of Friends) Matthew Perry convince his pops murder is bad?
Brian brings back a popular segment, while Van spins in a circle and announces the podcast’s next show.
Highlights
-And here we thought “watering hole” was figurative
