- Verb[stem] + える / うる
I might be completely crazy, and my listening skills are certainly not up to scratch, but I could swear she was saying たやがしうる and not たがやしうる。 I looked up たやがす, too, just to make sure it wasn’t an alternate reading or something.
It’s okay if I’m crazy.
if a verb stem ends with え is it more likely to be うる or am I reading too much into the examples?
I think you are reading too much into it (though maybe don’t fully trust me since I’m making an informed guess). うる is the classical Japanese reading of 得る so it will be more rare to show up and likely has some set phrases where it appears.

It may have changed since you commented this but now the entry for 得る does mention:
Despite this, there is a tendency for うる to be the preferred spoken choice when the kana that appears before it is え
