Chuck, Matt, Gates, and Boar got together to unpack “Landman” Season 2, Episode 2, and it turned into the perfect mix of oilfield therapy session and comedy hour, calling out the ridiculous drilling logic, roasting Cooper’s disastrous money moves, and laughing through the show’s dramatic family moments. They riff on everything from cartoon-level oilfield economics to cartel side hustles and legal chaos, plus one absolutely unhinged analogy comparing modern extraction to a Whataburger milkshake. And of course, the infamous “sins of the father” moment sparks plenty of debate. If you’re into oil and gas or just love watching a good TV meltdown get dissected by people who actually know the industry, this breakdown hits the spot.
