(audience cheering)
What's up Tim?
Hi Tim?
- Hey how are you?
- I'm so good, I'm over and outhouse brother though
I'll just find a tree
and with us in our studio though,
everybody, please also welcome Isabel.
(audience cheering)
(upbeat music)
Oh my gosh, first of all, you look stunning.
- Thank you very much.
- I love how you were like, "I'm going to get there."
- I can't walk,
- You know, but it looks great,
I think that's what the stylist is going for.
I love that you actually look like
you could be their daughter, which is so great.
- I love that too, I know I was very helpful.
- Yes I was like, you look like you literally
could have come from their DNA.
So Tim, where are you calling from?
- I'm in New York.
We're doing some press up here and I'm actually
getting a seat with couple of our daughters who live here.
So we're, we're getting to hang out with them
for a little bit.
- Oh, that's exciting, are they in school at there
or are they just living up there?
What are they doing?
- Both of them are actors.
So they're there in New York pursuing that job.
- Okay, last time I saw you,
you were here and one of them was still in school
and I was like, all right.
And you were like,
I don't know if she's going to leave school.
- Well now they're out on their own.
So we're empty-nesters
but it's a blessing and a curse at the same time, I guess.
So, you know, you miss someone, you miss the energy
and you miss them being around the house
and all their friends and all the stuff
that comes along with that.
But, it's also nice for mom and dad
to have the house to themselves
and everything in the house too.
- Hell yeah, bring that fire back.
Well Tim, in 1883 of Faith plays your wife.
So that must've been a stretch
and Isabel place, your daughter, does she fit in,
right in with your family?
I feel like literally I'm looking at a girl
that could have come from y'all.
- When we first saw Izzy,
we walked in first day cowboy camp,
we walked in and of course
she's just beautiful and sweet and so poised and so mature.
But when we first saw her, we went right on right away.
We thought, oh my gosh,
she looks like she could be our daughter.
I mean, it was this perfect casting.
And the more we got to know her,
the sweeter she got and the more we grew to love her
and respected her.
And, she's incredible,
she just shines in this show and anybody who knows her
and it was around her on set,
knows that she shines in person as well and in real life.
- Thank you Tim - That's so sweet
What I have to ask.
What is, first of all,
we're going to get back to cowboy camp.
That sounds like City Slickers, the movie.
I'm very excited about it.
I love that film all of them,
but what was it like having Tim and Faith asparents
in a show?
That's crazy.
- I'm yeah, kind of incredible.
I mean, Tim knows this already,
So this isn't a big shock to him,
but I didn't know who they were.
- Wait what?
- Yes, I didn't know that they were big.
- What rock did you live under?
- I know.
- You're young I guess you're 21.
- Yes but...
I don't know the way...
- Oh my God you're so lucky though,
you have all this music to catch up on.
- I know and I'm very excited
but to me, I just got to get to know them as just human.
They're just, you know, - Yeah.
- There was a blank slate and my goodness
they're just the loveliest people I think I've ever met.
I immediately fell in love with them and it was so genuine.
And, I mean, Faith Hill
is one of the kindest people
I think I've ever met in my life.
And she's a goofball - And she's funny.
- Oh my goodness, She makes animal noises
weird animal noises.
- Wait what?
- Yes she's so gifted at it too.
Okay, I'll stop there.
I don't want...
- Next time I have Faith on that will be what I ask her.
Give me an animal like,
(grunts)
- I don't know what I was going to work.
- I Love it, I love it.
So wait, Yellowstone was so huge.
It's such a huge show, right?
Like how were you y'all both nervous
about stepping into the pre-qual thing
or were you excited because
there's already this huge fan base.
- Gosh, you don't want to go do something
that they're not gonna like.
You know, you have so much respect for Kevin and the cast.
And certainly Taylor who wrote in 1883 as well.
I mean, you wanna, you know,
live up to the expectations of what everybody expects
out of Yellowstone.
Do you want them to expect the same thing from 1883?
Do you want to live up to it?
- Yeah.
- And you certainly want the cast to like it,
but at the end of the day, you trust the writing,
you trust the directing,
and then you trust your fellow actors
to show up every day on set and deliver.
And I'm telling you every actor on this show and every,
I don't want to shout out to the crew members
of the Wranglers and the Venice stock guys,
everybody brought their A game every single day.
And these were really tough conditions.
It was really tough shoot
when everybody just flat brought it.
And I couldn't imagine working
with a better group of people.
- And I honestly, it was a brilliant play.
Like what a smart play to do a prequel to that.
Like I was one of those people that love Yellowstone.
So 1883 was such a brilliant place.
So I got to say, you said conditions.
So I know that y'all filmed a bit in Texas where I'm from
actually I'm from Fort Worth
where y'all y'all shot it like the stock, right?
- Yeah, oh yeah.
- That was the first place I ever snuck into a club.
Hey, I only did it once mom,
but anyway, It had to be hot, right?
Where y'all are shooting and you weren't layered up, right?
- And the whole set and everything I felt,
yeah sweat poured down parts of my body.
I didn't know sweat could pour down.
It was really, yeah...
- You haven't gotten to Spanx yet.
- No, I'm not there yet.
Yeah I'm waiting for that one, but you know,
I kind of also enjoyed it somewhat
because I felt like, well that, but you also,
you kind of want to be miserable
because that's exactly what...
- They would have been.
- Yeah, those conditions where it was so authentic,
it was so real, so visceral that I don't think many of us,
when it came to weather conditions were acting,
we were genuinely sweating or are being...
- Their hands off?
No, you kept it talk show friendly, that was nice way to go.
You classy, I mean, I kind of discussed it
as a prequel to Yellowstone obviously,
but what's the show kind of entail.
- Well, it's the Dutton family,
the original Dutton family going from Tennessee
and trying to make that trek across the country to Oregon.
And yeah, it's kind of shows how treacherous
that journey was and how they got to Montana,
the Dutton family,
but it's the original patriarch and matriarch of the family.
- Yeah, I love it, just so smart, what a smart play?
Y'all you talked about cowboy camp and literally I just
started playing City Slickers the movie in my head,
which I love.
Was it like, did you feel like,
have you ever been around anything like that before?
Did it feel like you were a City Slicker
- No, I am a city girl, I was born in LA,
so I never experienced that,
I flew in about a week and a half earlier than everyone
and just, you know, rose.
- Was it fun?
- Oh, it was, I mean, come on.
You're being, you're just staying at someone's house
and riding horses all day.
- But was that scary
cause somebody who's never been on a horse,
like I've been on horses, but if you haven't?
- To be honest, I wasn't, I know I got really lucky.
- You were lucky.
- Yeah, I just, I really wanted to be good at it
and I really wanted to learn,
so that kind of overcame the sort of fear
that I may have had for sure.
- Okay, okay.
Well, I know that you're a cowboy singer, Tim,
but was cowboy camp fun.
- I grew up riding, so I had plenty of experience riding.
I mean, gosh, I could ride before I could walk.
My stepdad was a cowboy.
So he taught me to ride at a very early age.
I had a pretty good country music education
had a stepdad who was a truck driver and a cowboy.
So I would listen to him when I was riding with him.
I was riding horses at three years old.
So it had been a while since I've riden regularly,
but I stepped back into it pretty quickly.
It was a lot of fun,
it was fun watching everyone else experience that as well.
- And it also depends on the horse you get,
like if they give you a mayor run,
- I learned that the hard way.
- Yeah, go for the gilding.
Yeah, go for that one.
The mayor is, are they're sassy.
So, what's your best cowboy skill?
What did you find was your best cowboy skill at cowboy camp?
- Well, you know, actually I learned that
I could spin on a horse.
- Oh you're like a rodeo girl.
- Oh yeah, I didn't know I could do it.
I just kept doing that, oh, see.
I actually have and I have proof
- Look at you.
That's amazing.
- Thankyou, I know, I didn't get dizzy or anything.
It was the one thing
that I was actually capable of doing but...
- You were like, film this, I look amazing.
- You could get this, I have proof,
but yeah, that was my go-to.
- I love that.
You looked good on that, - Thank you.
- I'll post that right away.
So Tim, you and Faith
y'all had to drive a wagon
so that I feel like that's probably a very difficult thing,
but looks easy, was it hard?
- That was probably the hardest skill out of all of them
was driving the wagon.
I didn't have to do it as much as they did.
She had to do most of the wagon driving.
I did it a bit.
She did most of it and she was great at it,
but yeah, that can get really dangerous and really hairy.
And you know,
those things can run away with you at any time.
And it's one of those things
that once, once they break loose,
it's hard to hard to stop them.
So it's not the safest thing in the world.
- No, it's so funny.
I just thought of this, but actually one Christmas,
when I was married,
we had all our family come out to our ranch
and literally the wagon took off
with my ex's mother and stepfather
and my mother iin the like Slayer wagon, whatevers,
the horses just took off.
(screaming)
All of us were, I mean, literally he could have died.
It was the scariest thing ever.
My mother, I don't think she'll ever step on a Slayer wagon
ever again, she was like, "Y'all tried to kill me."
It's really dangerous.
I can only imagine having to control that.
And it's not a normal thing for you
plus to remember your lines
and be in the moment, like, while acting,
that would have been very difficult,
but also you, I would have been upset
if you didn't write a song,
but I heard that you wrote a lullaby right, for this?
- Yeah, you know, there's a scene where Wade,
or James Landry who plays Wade in the show,
he's just a great guy, great actor.
He has to sing to the cattle.
And he was searching for a song to sing to the cattle.
And, I was walking into the gym one day
and had this idea.
And so I did a voice memo to him with this little lullaby,
for him to sing to the cattle
and he liked it and Taylor liked it.
So that's what he ended up singing.
That was my contribution to music on this show.
- I love that though.
Must have been so excited to see a song with Tim McGraw
that'd be cool.
- I think they're performing, you're performing right Tim?
- Oh, you're touring, are you touring soon Tim?
- Cause I wanna see you perform.
- Yeah, I start touring in April,
but I have a few shows like Faith and I
are doing a show in March, I believe.
And then I'm playing at the Houston rodeo
in the San Antonio rodeo.
And then I start a tour in April.
- Oh my gosh, I got to catch it again.
- I'm gonna go.
- It's one of the best shows I've ever seen.
