Best of John & Rip 🤝 Yellowstone | Paramount Network 

John asking Rip to step down for Kayce was one of the toughest scenes to watch, a true test of loyalty and respect for Rip.

I choked up when John acknowledged Rip like a son and gave him a home. I love these two, really good chemistry.

Rip is the son you pray for. He’s honest, loyal, fearless, and selfless. Not because he says sir but because you can go to sleep and not worry about him ever turning on you

I rarely choke up or cry watching TV shows, but when John called Rip his son when gifting that house to him, and then Rip asked Beth to read the letter again so he could hear it; that hit me like a ton of bricks. Cole was born to embody this character. Best show on TV.

I always loved that Rip addresses John as ‘Sir’ the amount of respect he has for him

Rip and John have about the same relationship my father and I had.....he always counted on me, no matter what, and I never asked him, "Why" as I always figured he'd tell me if he wanted me to know. He was a hard man who played for keeps. I learned so much from him and I sure as hell miss him every day now that he's gone. He certainly made a better person out of me......He used to say, "When it's too tough for other guys, it's just about right for me". That's the way he lived and I've tried to adopt that attitude. I sure was lucky to have the parents I had in hindsight.

I love how he took steps to let Rip know how important he was. John thought he was dying and wasn't going to die without making that right with Rip. Having him call him by his name was much bigger than it would be in most situations and then the letter Beth showed Rip was the icing on the cake.

The scene with Rip, when Beth reads the letter calling Rip his son,.... Rip breaks down!... my step father never called me son, but when he was dying, he asked for his son!.. me!!.... as i drove to the hospital, my wife said, he called you son!... i said don't say that, i have to hold it together for him, ...but it was the worst and best day of my life.... that scene was very poignant for me.

I've never seen loyalty like Rips loyalty for John.

RIP is by far THE best character on the show.

Rip is my favorite character on the show, hands down. And that says a lot because EVERY one of the main characters are perfect in their own way.

I saw an interview with Cole ,he had trouble understanding why Rip was so popular with fans. Loyalty ,respect is everything!

The symbolism with death being that crow and Rip showing up in time to chase it away is good stuff.

0:27 "I fell in the river and grandpa saved me!" "Why was he near a river!?!" Kayce and Monica are perfect for each other.

The respect and loyalty Rip shows John is something we’re sorely missing these days!

It's no lie Costner is a absolute American treasurer

So many life lessons in this show. Of all the great shows I’ve binge-watched, this one is by far the best.

I love the respect and loyalty Rip has for John.

If theres one thing I can say is itll be a sad day whenever Kevin Costners time comes. One of my favorite actors ever. Never disappoints

I luv Rip’s character. He’s the man that many men want to be. You can’t buy a guy like him. He sticks to his ways and is contented.

"its hard to measure almost, cuz almost doesn't matter" reminded me of my gramps who also was a life long farmer &blacksmith.

I grew up on a ranch with an emotionally distant father whose only voiced concern is for the cows, his ranch, and his land. My dad loved us, but he didn’t have the slightest idea how to show it. So yeah, this show holds a lot of memories for a 42 year old rancher who is probably only slightly more emotionally mature than Rip and John. My dad is 72, hard time to walk. He was watching us herd cows into pens for sale next week. After we were done, we got a solid round of criticism before he took my son out hunting rabbits. It’s kinda funny how much easier he is on my son than he was on me. Hunting with him? When I hit 8 and wanted to hunt rabbits/grouse/etc, he would just say “you know where the shotgun is, you better come back with something to show for every shell you use”. I like to poke at him about how he’s getting soft in his old age. And yes, we’re branded, but we did it to ourselves, his only part in it was calling us idiots after we were finished. Myself and my best friend did it at 15 while we were bored in a snowstorm, hunting moose in one of our hunting/herding cabins. We got snowed in for three days. 15 year old boys with too much time on their hands become idiots. When he gave me the ranch finally, three years ago, he didn’t even tell me. Just had a lawyer show up with papers. Three years later, we still haven’t spoken about it.

“You can hold her damn hand, Rip.”

Everybody deserves a good dad. It's one of the best things anybody could ever have or ask for

Love to see the respect gained between kayce and rip throughout the seasons.

The dynamic between John and Rip is so powerful. I could just watch their conversations

It's not very often you get a fantastic tv show like this. Looking in from Ireland 🇮🇪

Being retired military thus having those type of conversations also, made be giggle a bit when they are talking about dropping off the wrangler at the "train station". Then shifting casually into their own feelings about wants and desires assuming your life is more important.

12:24 rip loves John so much this seem gave me chills and damn near made me tear up.

Thank you, Rip, for giving me some sense of stride of how I want to be, minus the killing and all.

They have the same mutual respect my father and I had growing up and when we were in the business of raising cattle on the family farm. Not too many men get that, and having a family business isn’t easy but mutual respect is earned and it’s bittersweet. I wish my dad was still alive so I could appreciate it a few more years

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SCENE!! RIP IS SOO DEDICATED TO JOHN.

How far away do want them to go... That's such a great line.

One of my favorites that’s not included is their conversation after Rip saves Beth, that entire episode is great.

Sometimes in series you have those illogical dialogues, but in this series they go straight into your soul.

Rip and John are the best. Can’t wait for season 5.

Yup I cried. Live Rip, and seeing him Choke up made me choke up

I love how RIP calls John sir

The John (father) and Rip (son) dynamic is strong in this show....damn.

They could not have found anyone better than Cole Hauser play Rip if that man doesn't win an Oscar for doing the show if he hasn't already won an Oscar I'd be pissed, this character embodies what real men should be like in the world we live today.

That moment as a man when your father tells you to call him his name......Special moment and gets me pretty hot around the eyes. I know what that meant to Rip and it touches my heart deeply.

Rip is a guy you put in a task and never get to worry about it

Rip is such a great son to John

@13:10, I can't help but think that Rip stops to rebuild the fence due to his desire to keep all livestock (and animals) safe. While Rip is capable of extreme violence, he definitely has a soft spot for animals.

This show is a blessing, inches upside down world

Today is the 10th anniversary of my fathers death, there were times I hated him, and there were times I loved him, he was a hard man, but, he taught me how to fish, hunt, to be independent, he was the hardest worker I’ve ever known, he instilled me about hard work and I still do that today, he said:”Son, no matter the job, even if its the shitest job, always be the best at it”, Rest In Peace dad, I miss you

John was certainly not Rip’s bio father but he certainly was the father he deserved

The best show ever produced. And I've been watching tv since 1958.

I was born and raised in Yellowstone country , right there at the Oxbow Trailer Park.

This show is absolutely brilliant. Words cant describe what they put together here. Its perfect.

RIP Is As Loyal As They Come, Does Not Ask Any Questions, Yes Sir.

rip is the son john needed and john is the father rip needed

“. Who told you that” “ you did sir” “ grumpy old man noises “ 😂

Love the show, especially the scenes with John and Rip. Jimmy too!!! Season 5 can't wait! Thank you

Driving through the fence was a 100% certified boss move

God I love them all so much. I can’t handle any main character losses in season 5 😩😢 Please spare us

"Its hard to measure almost because almost doesn't matter"

I live in a very small town that has real cowboys in it, this stuff is pretty accurate character wise, our boys are a little more straight up but it's close.

" It's hard to measure ALL most because almost does not matter "

If we all are a 'Rip' to a friend, then we'd all have 'Rips' as friends.

This show reminds me so much of my father I cherish and appreciate these people for creating such a magnificent show I will miss you forever dad I know your watching over me always I will continue to protect and serve my country and family as best as I can❤

This is such an incredible show with so many great characters, but rip has to be my favorite

Without a doubt the best series and characters ever conceived, Hands down.

They never look at each other when they are talking, look up, look at the ground, always have some deep thought and looking anywhere but who they are talking to. I love the show, I think Beth could dial it back a notch.

November is just around the corner...can't wait!

This program shows why life as a guy is so great. (I want to say superior but don’t want to be flagged for hate speech.) Half the time they just “grunt” at each other and they understand each other perfectly. No long drawn out conversation using a thousand words to say what you can say with a single grunt. If I could find a woman that understood grunts I would be in heaven.

I don't know about the rest of you but it only took one episode to get me hooked on this show as a lot of you said you do learn a lot of things from the show I'm no cowboy but it definitely makes me wish I was

Kevin and Cole make a great team.

What I wouldn’t give to have a friend like rip.

I grew up watching Bonanza with my father, and now I'm watching this with my kids. Best shows ever!

LMAO 7:09 is such a man's moment. Yeah Rip had to acknowledge the best gift he's ever gotten for 3 seconds with some tearing up....then "uh we better get some more wranglers sir". 😂 Great writing.

I wonder how much Yellowstone helped drive RAM Truck sales.

Rip wheeler,, 100% badass

Can't wait until for season 5

As a teenager and young adult, I didn’t understand. As a 40+ year old man, I understand all the lessons my father was trying to teach me. I always tell young folk to make a life for yourself that’s better than what your folks did for you. It’s all your folks want. And grandkids

So far, this is my favorite of the short clips! ❤

Can’t wait for the return!!!

Chevy and Ford really screwed up not sponsoring this show !! Dodge made a million off this show I'm sure !!

My two favorite on the show love their relationship.

I just finished watching season 5. Now i have to start all over again! It is worth it!

Great scenes. I need to watch this show much more. I'm sure that I'll become a big fan.

TV Shows nowadays, you see and hear relationships like this, but rarely do you actually feel them. First time in a while I could actually feel the motions and emotions two actors portrayed on a series.

RIP, Love you. Please please give him more screen time

(8:42) That line perfectly describes the relationship I have with my Dad. And I've loved every second of it, and been loved. ❤

6:30 Rip gave up on his reputation on the ranch to make Casey the leader the ranch Needed, swallowing all his pride on the proccess! This kind of loyalty has to be very well valued....

Rip and Beth are my favorite characters. Rip deserves the ranch.

Kacey awarded Rip the bunkhouse for two reasons; he stood point and was willing to take fire when they were rescuing Tate..and he saved Beth’s life.

This show was the best. What a shame it has been lost. Tainted and lost. Very sad.

Damn this got my heart racing by the end!

John just rests easy when he sees rip show up

I think Johns biggest confliction is knowing that the son he wants to take over and continue the legacy of the ranch doesn't want it.

Kevin and his character are so good that none of the rest of the cast can shine in this show

You can tell these men cared about each other.

I'm sooooooo looking forward to season 5.

Rip is the kinda son to John that all of us pray to have

You can see the respect that both of them have for each other

My wife once asked me what I consider the criteria for calling another man a true friend... A friend is someone where you can show up at 2:00 a.m. with a body in your trunk and they just grab a shovel. No questions. Rip would be a great friend.

I love the banter. ❤️

If I had been Kevin Costner's wife my only requirement of him would be to stay in the "John Dutton" character forever. ❤ The John, Casey, and Rip men of the world are every woman's dream. 💕

The scene where John asks Rip to move into the bunkhouse to let Kayce lead just about killed me! Made me realize just how horrible a man John Dutton is. To take a man's unswerving loyalty and then demote him was almost more than I could take. Good thing he redeemed himself later.
