The Cartwrights make their own soap.
Gunnar says that it's been about 20 years since his sister's (Hoss' mother) funeral which was the last time he saw Ben. Hoss mentions he was a little fellow when his mother died and he doesn't remember much about her. With this in mind, Hoss would be somewhere in his early to mid-20s and Joe would be no more than 19 years old at the time of this episode.
Hoss' mother was killed on the trail and buried right there. Uncle Gunnar wasn't at the funeral because he wasn't on the trail.
Adam: I'm Adam. You don't remember me, do you? Gunnar: Ahh, little Adam. Adam: Not anymore.
Hoss: Pa. You said that it was impossible for a man to see inside another man deep enough to know what he was really like. I think I did...just before he died.
Joe: (to Gunnar) Wait! You know you ain't no uncle of mine. You couldn't be. You're a filthy, murdering skunk.
Ben: The Vikings were ruthless raiders and killers. Not much better than the Commancheros.
Gunnar: Where you get that funny hat, son? Hoss: I don't think it's funny.
