McBee Dynasty: Prison Farewell, Business Betrayals & A Shocking Successor

Kelli (00:00.832)
Hi, welcome to We Wine Whenever. I'm Kelly.

Wendy (00:03.681)
I'm Wendy.

Kelli (00:05.64)
tonight we're talking about McBee Dynasty season three, episode six, first impressions and final farewells. Before we do that, I'd like to ask you to please go to YouTube and subscribe to our channel. Please follow us on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and give us five-star reviews if you'd like. And please engage and comment. before we get into McBee, what do you think about all these separations in Salt Lake City?

Now it's come out that Whitney and Justin Rose are separated. We knew about Angie Kay and Sean and of course Bronwyn. Something's in the water. But Meredith Marks has come out and said something about karma and things she was accused of last year.

Wendy (00:41.624)
Yeah.

Wendy (00:48.343)
Yes, she has.

Wendy (00:52.802)
And so is Lisa. I s I'm sure you saw Lisa Barlow's post with her and John. Like, yeah.

Kelli (00:57.984)
John, yeah. I mean, I don't know if Lisa's marriage was ever in question. I think she kinda put it out there last year that they were like struggling with something, but I don't know. I always figured John and Lisa were solid. You know my feelings about Meredith and Seth. I think they're

Wendy (01:14.252)
Yeah, I mean I think they were solid too. But Lisa has come out and s and said, and I've heard her say it on podcast that, you know, she was shocked when John was expressing to her his feelings about not being heard. R you know, when we saw that last season, we were shocked to see it. Well, she was just as shocked. So, you know, she had some concern, but she said, you know, they're solid, they've always been solid. And, you know, that's what it is, which is fine.

Kelli (01:29.386)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Kelli (01:41.431)
I just think Meredith and Seth have an open marriage and just won't admit to it. But you know what? It's their gig. If they're not gonna bring it out, who cares? but yeah, Justin and Whitney, I guess we kinda saw that coming. I'll be honest with you, out of all of them, I'm the most shocked over Angie Kay and Sean.

Wendy (01:46.818)
Who cares?

Wendy (01:59.488)
I am also. I really am also. Now what's her name? Monica and and what's his name? No, Monica did a podcast with Carlos King. Monica and Carlos King were talking about it. And Monica was saying that the word on the street was that Sean said that she has changed since she became a housewife. Like she's a different person.

Kelli (02:08.266)
Yes, Darcy, I haven't paid too much attention to anything she said, but

Wendy (02:29.407)
Which I mean, I guess I can see. I mean, she is a different person. You know, she's got she's got fame, she's got independence, you know. Her daughter Electra is getting older. I mean, they only have a single child and I I I can see that happening, you know? People change. People change.

Kelli (02:32.118)
Sure, why not? Yeah.

Kelli (02:47.894)
Sure, sure. I mean I I you know, hopefully it's not for the worse, maybe it's just but I also heard that he was caught with a stylist at their salon. So who really knows?

Wendy (02:59.741)
I heard that too. I don't know if that's true, right? Who knows? And the other big news is

Kelli (03:03.562)
Yeah. But are they done filming? They were filming, right?

Wendy (03:07.135)
Yeah, they're done filming. They're done filming. The other I think we will. I definitely think we will. Jersey filmed their final episode last night. And there's six new castmates. I'm actually excited to see it. I wanna see who these six I know you're not. I know you want nothing to do with it. I know it's not your gig.

Kelli (03:09.324)
So I wonder if we'll see this play out.

Kelli (03:30.666)
I could not be any less interested in a show. I couldn't I couldn't be less interested.

Wendy (03:34.774)
I

I wanna see who these six new women are. I'm interested to see it. I know you're not. I'll be honest with you, it was a party for Dolores and Pauli, the the final episode that they filmed last night. And Liz McLiz McGraw was there, which makes sense. I mean she's friends with Paulie. yeah, she's friends with Paulie and Dolores, so of course she's gonna be there. We may not see her, we probably won't see her on the show.

Kelli (03:55.712)
Yeah, I saw that.

Wendy (04:05.741)
But if we do, we do, if we don't, we don't. Who cares? but I am excited to see it. I'm excited to see how the season plays out. I'm excited to see if based on what Kim Dia said, if we do hear about the Melania thing, I feel like it's gonna have to come up, even though it wasn't filmed, it's gonna have to be spoken about. She did go to her second trial while they were still filming, and it happened while they were filming.

Kelli (04:32.662)
What do you think about all these TikTok videos she's putting out?

Wendy (04:37.053)
I think that I think that she's not a dumb girl and I think she's playing the game that she needs to play.

I you know, I don't think they're real. I don't think it's sincere. I mean the stuff with Louie I'm talking about. The stuff with her and Antonia, the stuff with her and Antonia I think is true. I think it's it's real, it's sincere. I think that

Kelli (04:52.448)
I think that yeah.

Kelli (05:02.474)
It keeps ringing in my head how Teresa said a couple of years ago that Melania said, Mommy, I want to be more famous than you and here this girl is facing legal i you know legal issues and she's just on TikTok not giving a fuck.

acting outlandish and I I listen, I'm not judging, but I would hope that if my kid was faced with something like that, they would be a little more humble and a little more quiet.

Wendy (05:25.815)
Yeah.

Wendy (05:44.725)
Yeah, but Theresa's not that way. So and neither's Joe.

Kelli (05:48.585)
No, obviously not. But I mean, and I and I know she's not at an age where you have much control over her, but I would certainly try to encourage her. I just think it's not a great look, you know, and I know these kids really don't know any better. Like we grew up, we were the probably the last generation to grow up, not you know, without social media. But I don't know. I feel like the position she's in less is more.

Wendy (06:17.813)
I I mean I agree, but I don't think like you said, I th I don't think Teresa has any control over it. the girl's twenty years old. No, no. I mean I I know I've seen a couple

Kelli (06:24.468)
Yeah, and I'm not I'm certainly not putting any blame on Teresa at at all. At all.

But somebody needs to step in and tell this girl to probably maybe slow down with the social media posts.

Wendy (06:37.899)
Well, honestly I think the only one that could do it would be Gia. And I think I would I would imagine Gia's tried. I would imagine that she's tried.

Kelli (06:42.198)
That's what I'm thinking.

I would imagine so too. Yeah, she is she's l pretty level headed. I don't know. I just I feel bad saying that 'cause I don't ever, ever, ever like to judge anyone's kids because obviously my kids have their own shit. But I don't know, I feel bad. I feel bad. But whatever. Let's get into McBay.

Wendy (06:50.252)
Yeah. So

Wendy (07:05.375)
I do too. And the other thing, Bait, I wanted to bring up is they dropped the trailer for New York and it looks good. Did you see it?

Kelli (07:13.66)
I won't even watch it. Again, I could not be less interested in a show. I'm not interested in Jersey, and I'm certainly not interested in New York. This reboot sucks. And Carol Radzewill? This is who you decide to bring back? Ugh.

Wendy (07:16.504)
my god, it it was three and a half minutes.

Wendy (07:25.739)
Well I think

Wendy (07:33.837)
she has the center too. She has the center apple, Carol. And she's a fulltime housewife. And again, I'm here to see the drama. I I'm here to see not not the drama of Cy and her breakup of her marriage, but

Kelli (07:34.166)
But I

Kelli (07:38.68)
Yeah.

Kelli (07:48.813)
God, I forgot about that.

Wendy (07:50.698)
Yeah, and then there's a scene in in the the preview that makes it look like Jessel is having issues with her marriage. I don't know if that's true or just editing. I don't really wanna see that, but Cy has said in interviews that

Kelli (08:01.822)
It's probably editing given the fact that, you know, those two mean girls were coming for him with his Vietnam trip. It's probably editing because of that. Cause Erin and Cy were mean girl in it.

Wendy (08:12.534)
I mean

Wendy (08:17.131)
Yeah. I I don't know. But I I'm interested in seeing that the new girl that's Haley Glassman, who was the ex girlfriend of John Gosslin from John and Kate plus Eight, whose Yes, whose father's a plastic surgeon. Like th I'm telling you, like this is gonna be interesting. I really think it's gonna be interesting. I know you're not into it, but again, you know, they dropped the also the

Kelli (08:31.072)
That's who's on this.

Wendy (08:44.909)
For Special Forces. And Colin Gosselin is on that. John and Kate's son, which I'm so interested. Mauricio and his daughter Alexia, the one that just got married, are on it. Another father daughter team. And Brandy Glanville. I like I'm here for this stuff. I'm here for it. I I want to see it. I mean, that's just me. I don't know if she physically can. I don't know.

Kelli (08:50.091)
Yes.

Kelli (09:03.627)
Yeah.

Brandy is probably gonna kick ass on that show.

Wendy (09:12.449)
because of all her ailments and stuff. But it's already been filmed. So whatever is gonna happen has already happened. So I'm excited to see that too. I know that you are not, but I just wanted to mention those things are coming up on Bravo.

Kelli (09:23.724)
Special Forces I I'm I'm into. I just I'm not so not into the New York reboot and I'm so not into Jersey, but I'll watch it. I sound like Lori and I'm really not trying to sound like Lori.

Wendy (09:32.459)
Well the

You do sound like Lori but

Kelli (09:37.75)
There's just certain shows that I'm just you know, you know how I feel.

Wendy (09:42.402)
The other thing is the the one that's got Luann and Ramona and well, it's probably gonna be the same time. With they're probably gonna be airing the same time as New York. I have I guarantee you the networks are gonna do it back to back. And they've like you know.

Kelli (09:47.263)
I can't wait for that.

Kelli (09:57.239)
And I can guarantee you the one with Luann is gonna kill in ratings versus the other one.

Wendy (10:04.065)
Well that you know they added more episodes to that and they're filming in the Hamptons and now Margaret is joining them, which I know you're excited about, and cousin Gina's excited about. I on the other hand

Kelli (10:11.796)
Love that. Yep, cousin Gina and me cannot wait to see Margaret. I know you're not a big fan.

Wendy (10:17.515)
And I I c I I could care less to see Margaret. And honestly, I can on like I'll watch I'll watch the old the OGs, but I don't even know that I want to see them. I'm interested in the new blood. I'm interested in what's coming up next. That's that's just me. So we'll have to wait and see what happens. I just wanted to mention those things there. There's a lot coming. There's a lot on the horizon. Yeah. All right, we can do we could do McBe now.

Kelli (10:36.79)
There's a lot going on. There's a lot going on.

Kelli (10:42.172)
All right. Yeah, we're ten minutes in already. All right. So Masha is with her chickens and I thought, no. Was Galena here again? Remember she killed her chickens? And d we all know Galena killed those damn chickens. Steven Junior shows up because there's a possum in there and in her chicken coop. So he gets the possum out. Thankfully, no chickens were harmed in this action.

Wendy (10:51.531)
Yeah, I know, right?

Wendy (10:57.069)
Course she did.

Kelli (11:07.692)
Masha asks Stephen Jr. how he's doing with his dad leaving, and they kind of talk about that for a little bit. And then we see Cole goes to Christy's house and s little summer is there, and they're talking about Steve Sr. going away. And Christy says that the boys can email him when he's away, but don't expect a quick response, of course. And Cole said he told the employees to come to them with anything. You know, they are basically the new Steve.

So Cole says that his mom is a smart businesswoman and she's there to give them advice.

So that's a little pre precursor to what's to come. then the girls are having so Casey, Jesse, no, Casey and Allie are having a girls' night with Tegan. And then there was another girl there. I didn't get her name, but she was Casey's friend. And they were doing Pilates and then they were just, you know, having a girls' night, and Casey tells them about Steven Jr. and the tallow business conversation. And

Wendy (11:47.755)
Mm-hmm.

Wendy (12:01.665)
Yeah, you get it. Yeah. Yes.

Wendy (12:13.943)
I don't know if you noticed that when that was all going on, Christy was actually watching summer so that Allie could be there because Jesse was at the farm. So

Kelli (12:21.354)
Yes. Right. Right. Cause Allie says that she hasn't seen much change in Jesse. He thought the ten days of intimacy was a joke, and Allie was like, No, it was serious. And he took off to the farm. He didn't acknowledge it. I mean, you can't

Wendy (12:36.033)
He didn't acknowledge it. Yep. He didn't acknowledge it.

Yeah.

Kelli (12:42.218)
Complain that you're not having sex when your wife puts 10 nights of intimacy out on the table and you take off to the farm. Eric would lock himself in the fucking house. If I put that out there, Eric's not leaving. So the fact that he took off to the farm speaks volumes. this was great. Then the boys go meet with Galena. So it's Stephen Jr., Cole, and Jesse was.

Wendy (12:53.301)
I know, right?

Wendy (12:57.385)
Yeah.

Wendy (13:03.362)
Yeah.

Kelli (13:12.0)
Was Braden there? Was the youngest there? No, right? Okay. Steven Jr. tells her that the car washes are your entire focus, and I don't think your focus has been here. he goes into saying stuff about airfare and hotels. So I was a little confused. Was he accusing her of spending company money on airfare and hotels?

Wendy (13:13.961)
No. No he wasn't. No.

Wendy (13:37.516)
I think what he was saying is, and I think what he was saying is, and kind of Jesse kind of echoed it, perception is reality, right? So when you're posting all over social media that you're flying here and you're flying there and you're staying here, when you have all these bankers that you owe money to and your face is associated with this company, whether you're spending the money or not of the company

Kelli (14:01.526)
Got it.

Wendy (14:05.057)
That's the perception of the public, which is what they were trying to point out to her.

Kelli (14:10.688)
Got it. Okay. 'Cause I'm like, are they saying she's spending company money? 'Cause that's obviously not okay.

Wendy (14:16.166)
No, I don't think that that's what they were saying.

Kelli (14:19.862)
But she got very defensive and she's like, Am I to understand that you guys don't think I'm doing my job? And she basically kicks them out of their own office. She's like, You can leave now. Yeah, Cole's like, Okay, you're not kicking us out of this office.

Wendy (14:31.029)
Right. I love when they're like and they're like you're

Ha ha ha.

Kelli (14:38.91)
And then Galina does say it's hypocritical that Steven Junior is commenting on her absence in the office. And she's right. She's not wrong there.

Wendy (14:45.389)
Mm-hmm.

Wendy (14:49.697)
He admitted that too on Watch What Happens Live, by the way.

Kelli (14:53.361)
he did?

Wendy (14:54.731)
He did when Andy said that or a a fan asked the question, you know, he admitted that, you know, him going off to Texas while you know, he d it was wrong. He totally admitted it.

Kelli (15:06.144)
Yeah. Okay. So Stephen Jr. and Allie go to Christy's house. Stephen Jr. is going to meet Allie's family in Texas and he's talking to Christy about that. Allie has told Stephen Jr., make sure you look my dad in the eyes, shake his hand, and make good conversation. So Christy says that she was close with her dad and Allie is close with her dad. and Allie wants

her dad to see in Steven Jr. what she sees. And Christy's like, basically that's what I always wanted. I wanted my dad to see in Steve Sr. what I saw in him. And, you know, we all know how that turned out. But remember when Lori said something about Allie love by the way, Lori's not feeling well, and that is why she is not on with us. She was away in Maine visiting her brother. She's back, but she is sick now. So that's why she's not with us.

Wendy (15:43.949)
Yeah.

Kelli (15:59.622)
but remember Lori said

Wendy (15:59.968)
And we don't think lettuce we don't think bag salad is involved either, just to put that out there.

Kelli (16:03.818)
We do not think green leafy vegetables are involved though. We don't know for sure though. she said something about Allie love bombing Christy and she's right. Like I do feel like Christy is t Allie is totally sucking up to Christy.

Wendy (16:17.173)
Yes, she absolutely is right.

Wendy (16:22.401)
Totally is. She totally is.

Kelli (16:23.626)
Yeah. So Cole, Allie, and Casey are in the car and Cole tells them that Steven Jr.'s going to Texas for Thanksgiving and he'll be gone. I thought he said he'll be gone when their dad goes away, but he was not. But I guess he was gonna be gone for Thanksgiving and maybe was this the last Thanksgiving Steve Sr. was gonna be there before he goes to jail?

Wendy (16:45.441)
Well, at this point Yes, absolutely. At this point, it's seven days until Stephen Sr. leaves and the like the lat th he's Stephen Sr. is going to prison on December first and Stephen Jr. is in Texas for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is like what, November twenty sixth or twenty-seventh? Right. The end right.

Kelli (17:09.79)
End of November. The in the at least in the last two weeks of November, yeah.

Wendy (17:15.403)
I'm trying to think of what what is let what it was last year. So he's there like, you know, two da he doesn't come home until two days bef he doesn't come back from Texas until two days before his father's leaving. Which is ridiculous. I mean

Kelli (17:27.572)
And I mean, it is ridiculous because it's like it that's a big holiday Thanksgiving for most people and it's gonna be his you know, your dad's going to jail. Like he's not having any holidays for you for at least two years.

Wendy (17:38.572)
Family!

But and her family isn't going anywhere. So why the fe why he felt the need to make this a priority to go meet her family on Thanksgiving? You have the rest of your life to do that. Your father's leaving. This is your last week with him. Are you out of your damn mind? You're saying that your priority is the family and the farm when your priority is yourself. It's yourself.

Kelli (17:43.423)
Now

Kelli (17:48.608)
Right. Right.

Kelli (17:56.566)
Yeah.

Kelli (18:05.036)
Totally agree.

Wendy (18:05.493)
And honestly, I blame Allie too, 'cause why she didn't put her foot down and say, Like, this is your family. Your dad's leaving. My my dad'll be there in two weeks. Your dad won't. My dad'll be there in two weeks.

Kelli (18:09.753)
yeah.

Wendy (18:19.874)
it honestly, i he annoys me.

Kelli (18:22.924)
So it's Jake's birthday now. did they bring who's who did they bring both babies into the brewery? They're all going to celebrate Jake's birthday and they got the babies with them. It just reminded me that scene in Sweet Home Alabama where she goes back home and she walks in, she's like, You're in a bar with a baby like so funny.

Wendy (18:31.469)
Mm.

Wendy (18:44.053)
I know. I don't I don't know if you caught it, but Allie and Casey were in the front seat and Cole was in the backseat and he had each he had the baby on each side of him. With that 'cause Jesse was already at the bar. So Cole was in the back seat with the babies. I love honestly, I love that whole scene. I love that because Cole's the one who Cole's the one who would do that. Like I can't see Jesse doing that.

Kelli (18:55.146)
Yes.

Kelli (18:58.561)
Yes.

Kelli (19:02.665)
I know.

Yes. Yep. No, no, no, no, no, no. So they bring the babies to into the brewery and Cole says Jake is the fifth McBee. So they're all there to celebrate his birthday. Steven Junior comes in and says Allie is sick as a dog. I wonder if that was true.

Wendy (19:15.872)
Right.

Wendy (19:23.053)
Bullshit. There's no way she was sick as a dog. We just saw her the day before with Christy. Sh did she look sick as a dog?

Kelli (19:28.636)
No, not at all. So again, Steven Jr. is talking to Jake about proposing to Teagan and he's like, You better hurry up because I might do it before you. And Jesse says Steven Jr.'s acting he's 31 and he's acting like he's fifty or sixty, thinking he's got he's like running out of time to meet the perfect girl. It I think this is all like for the show. Him just trying to

Wendy (19:30.561)
False yet.

Wendy (19:53.146)
It's no, I think he's honestly, I think he is that desperate. I think he has that. I think he has and I I said it last week. I think he has that much small dick energy, to be quite honest with you, that he is so overcompensating. He's just overcompensating because he feels like he's behind the eight ball. He thinks he's the the big man on campus because his father's leaving and he's the one with the the MBA and his brothers are subpart of him.

Kelli (19:57.45)
Yeah.

Kelli (20:04.426)
Yes, yes.

Wendy (20:21.567)
And how dare they be more advanced in life than he is. It it's just honestly it's it's sad for him. Honest I think he is a sad excuse of a man. I think he is, I really do.

Kelli (20:33.216)
He's definitely sad. And now it's come out that Sally Carson from Southern Charm hooked up with him too. That's four. That's number four in the Bravo World.

Wendy (20:42.18)
you're doing s you're doing Sally's counts.

Kelli (20:45.408)
She's gotta branch out, man. Branch out. Branch out, Sally. That's true. Yeah, that's true. So Tegan and Allie are encouraging Casey to talk to Steven Junior. Meanwhile, he's telling the boys that Allie was looking at fifty five thousand dollar rings.

Wendy (20:48.493)
Maybe she has. We just don't know those ones because they're not reporting on it.

Kelli (21:07.892)
Not really what you should be focusing on when you're trying to save your business. 55 grand she wants. Okay. and he has the description of the ring she wants in his phone notes. His no his yeah, his phone notes. so Casey does pull Steven aside to talk. She says she's not giving Allie 20%. She says she can do sales and get paid for that, but it's my business and we should go into business together, the two of us, to see how that's gonna work.

And he's just still pushing Allie on her as a partner. And Casey says she wants help, but 20% to Allie doesn't make her feel comfortable. And Casey wants to see what McBee Farms does for advertising. So then they put the counts up of followers. And listen, Allie has a ton of followers. But so does Steven Jr. So does McBee Farms and so does Casey. So Steven actually has more than Allie, which I was kind of surprised at.

Wendy (21:41.037)
Mm.

Wendy (22:05.419)
I know, I saw that.

Kelli (22:07.496)
but between the three of them, Casey, Steven Junior, and McBee Farms, that's a that's a solid network to reach out to.

Wendy (22:16.311)
Hundred percent. I agree.

Kelli (22:20.146)
So and that yeah, so they go into that. So she mentions the dad and Galena situation and Steven Junior's like, That's that's not what this is, but it is. And

Wendy (22:34.101)
He also on Watch What Happens Live, Andy asked him about that. And he said that he he agreed. He agreed. Casey was right. He actually gave Casey her flowers. Even when Andy asked him on Watch What Happens Live, you know, Cole spent $35,000 on Casey's ring. He said she absolutely deserves it. And I think that, you know, he like again.

Kelli (23:00.094)
It is still a lot of money for an engagement ring. I forgot that he spent that much. I mean, to me, that's a lot. you know. Somebody, I mean, we I was listening to Reality Court today and they were talking about McBee, but but Anna is is only still on season two. And she said, you know, it's interesting they're fighting, you know, to save their farm and they need all this money, but yet they all have two houses.

They had these big, huge million dollar homes. They got the thing in, you know, Nashville, the the place in Nashville, like real estate alone, they could probably sell a couple of houses, not even affect their living situation and pay down some debt. And yeah, and then they're going out and buying thirty-five, fifty-five thousand dollar rings. Like, I I don't know. But I guess, you know, I I don't have it, so I don't know.

He brings up the orders being backlogged. She says she needs help. He says, Do you think you're gonna hire me for fifteen dollars an hour to build a website? And very condescending. She gets very upset. She starts to cry. She goes back in and the camera, you know, they're trying to film Steven Jr. He rips his mic off. You know, that's the last fucking conversation we're having about it. And he takes off. Like

Wendy (24:04.087)
That was so condescending.

Kelli (24:22.398)
I don't know if that was for the cameras or if he's really if that's really how he's explosive.

Wendy (24:26.913)
He's got he He he was having a temper tantrum because I'm watching the whole scene. He's like, take this effing mic off me. Meanwhile, Cole's standing outside holding the baby. Casey's there crying. Like, you are supposed to be the head of this family, and this is how you're acting? Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? You wonder why what happened at the end? Why it happened? We know why it happened.

Kelli (24:31.968)
Yes.

Kelli (24:45.546)
Yes. Right.

Wendy (24:55.477)
And he also admits to that to Andy on Watch What Happens Live.

Kelli (25:01.056)
Yeah. So the next we see he's packing for Texas. Christy brings summer back to Jesse in Allie's City House and they're talking about the company wide meeting that Steven Senior called. Jesse says Steve Junior

Wendy (25:14.721)
Which is sixty five miles. That house is sixty five miles away from the farm. That's like an hour and a half. That's an hour and a half. Easy. Right. That's a lot.

Kelli (25:20.682)
Right. It is. It is.

Kelli (25:27.466)
Yeah. Jesse says Steven Jr. would be the obvious choice to take over the business, but he's focused on his relationship. All of the main managers of all the companies are at this meeting. Steven Jr. and Christy are zooming in. Christy has no idea why Stephen Sr. wants her in the meeting. In his confessional, Stephen Jr. says he's the obvious choice to take over the business. And then we get to the meeting and we see the org chart.

And where it says Stephen McBee Sr., it says Christy McBee as interim president. And Christy says Stephen Sr. has done a lot of crazy things in his life, but this might just be the craziest. This was the best part. go ahead.

Wendy (26:13.259)
And by the way.

This is three days before he's reporting to prison. Three days. His son, Steven Jr., is in Texas zooming in on this meeting. Like, do you not see something wrong with that? Do you not see and he every time his brothers call him out on it, he's like, Yeah, no, this is what I gotta do. No, this, you, your priorities are screwed up.

Kelli (26:42.464)
Well, and the thing is is that then he comes back and says that him meeting Allie's family it didn't go as planned. He probably was he probably popped off after this meeting. He was probably a fucking nutcase. And they were like, Bro, red flags. Yeah.

Wendy (26:54.528)
we sh

Wendy (27:00.139)
Listen, let's be real. I mean, we see the way the guy works out. You know his his physique is a big part of his life, right? It's very important to him. And he may or may not be using steroids. I don't know, allegedly. And those do definitely creates anger issues, right?

Kelli (27:09.984)
Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Kelli (27:16.459)
Right.

Which affects your mood.

Wendy (27:25.355)
He's got anger problems, this guy. He needs to control his emotions. He needs to grow up.

Kelli (27:27.594)
He definitely does.

Kelli (27:32.234)
The best part and funniest part was Braden when he says it's a little strange seeing my mom's name on the top of the chart and it's also strange to not see my name on there at all as it's a list of owners and I'm the only son not on there.

Wendy (27:46.382)
I felt so bad for him.

Kelli (27:48.703)
Me too, because how old is it? Like I know he's the youngest. He's gotta be in his twenties. And the thing is, is this is all I could think of was so I know he stayed in the city with Christy. When they got divorced or separated or whatever happened, I guess the three older ones stayed on the farm with Steve Sr. and he went to the city with Christy. So maybe he's not working on the farm like the other three are, but he's still your son.

Wendy (27:51.807)
He's gotta be in his twenties. Yeah, but he's in it he's gr I mean

Wendy (28:10.485)
No, but he is.

Kelli (28:13.482)
He still should have o a quarter of a stake in that property, in that business.

Wendy (28:13.889)
Right. No, but he yeah.

Wendy (28:18.379)
Right, right. I mean the fact that Galena has ten percent and he's got nothing.

Kelli (28:22.952)
I mean, come on. Exactly. So Steven Jr. thinks it's right. Exactly. Exactly. Yes. Steven Jr. thinks it's chaotic that his dad did this while he was down in Texas. Well, maybe he should have been there, yo. Exactly. Steven Jr. comes home and he goes to see Cole. He's saying how crazy it is that his mom's now leading the company and then Christy shows up.

Wendy (28:26.593)
I mean her ten percent is by injection, his is by DNA. Right?

Wendy (28:41.037)
Was your fault you were down in Texas, yeah.

Kelli (28:53.728)
And Steven Jr. says he's really confused over what's going on. And Christy's like, I I have no idea what's happening. And she says all of her energy is spent on Lantel, her own company. But she says, Christy Christy says Steve Senior knows that I'm super protective of the boys and he knows I am their biggest support. And although I don't have the time, I'm always gonna be there for them. So listen.

I don't know if she's gonna be making any major decisions, but I I actually like that Steve Sr. did this. I think it's great because those boys respect their mother very much. And she is a smart businesswoman. So maybe she's not gonna necessarily be making the decisions, but maybe she could stop one of them from making the wrong decision. You know what I mean?

Wendy (29:43.982)
I no, I think a hundred percent he did it to cut Galena off at the knees so that she can't bully the boys. Yes. I think I think that's why he did it. I think he did that to keep Galena in check 'cause he sh the boys are not set up to do what it is she does and they couldn't fight with her all she wants.

Kelli (29:50.332)
I never even thought of that. I think that's a great that's a great theory.

Kelli (30:01.61)
Mm. That's a great theory, yeah.

Wendy (30:10.785)
But if Christy's in charge, she has to answer to Christy. And she respects Christy more than she respects those boys. And that I think is why he did it. I think that's why he did it. Cause he can't be gone without having someone as his CFO that knows that knows it, because his kids don't know it.

Kelli (30:17.248)
Yes, that is true.

Yeah. Yeah.

Kelli (30:29.866)
No. And honestly, a I mean Christy is she's p she is right now, and and I pray to God, and I think she will stay like this, the most normal person on reality TV. She's so normal. She's a normal grandmother babysitting her grandchildren. Like right.

Wendy (30:42.008)
yeah. Well she didn't want to be on it.

Wendy (30:47.287)
She did not want to be on this show. She was not on it the first season. The only reason she came on it is because of the legal issues and that Steven Senior didn't couldn't be on it and she did it for her boys. Like she said, she does everything she does for her boys, and that's the only reason she's on it.

Kelli (31:05.244)
Right. Right.

So Cole I love I love seeing Cole drive around the farm with Blair in the car and she's waving to all the animals. These little girls are so adorable.

Wendy (31:21.815)
They are so cute. And I think Cole is the best daddy. I swear, I really think he's the best daddy. He loves that little girl. He's so s he's so endearing. He's so sweet, Cole.

Kelli (31:23.34)
She's so cute.

Kelli (31:32.939)
Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Allie says she spoke to her parents a little since they've been back and Steven Junior says he was stressed being there. He says it didn't go as well as he wanted and he's blaming he's basically blaming the meeting. Which, you know, could be. Allie says she wants her family to see what she sees and be fully on board. And Steven Junior thought he'd be able to ask Allie's dad a question.

Wendy (31:48.141)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (32:00.767)
And Allie thought she would get some kind of verbal affirmation from her dad, but she didn't.

Wendy (32:07.095)
This blows my mind.

Kelli (32:09.258)
Yeah, you know what? Like if you did get verbal affirmation from your father after knowing this man for a month and him asking for your hand in marriage, I'd be worried about your father, quite honestly.

Wendy (32:10.509)
It blows my mind.

Kelli (32:20.692)
So it's one day until Steven Senior's going to jail. They're packing up HQ and they take the big sign down, which was sad. And now they're gonna have a big dinner there and it looks like Tessa cooked all that food and God bless her, it looked good.

Wendy (32:29.463)
So sad.

Kelli (32:37.1)
so Tessa asks how Steve Senior's been doing, and she says that the boys make her proud. And she said that the boss always told her about his dream and that he wanted to pass everything on to his kids. And she said the boys are doing better than she thought. And they have like a nice dinner together. I thought that was nice.

Wendy (33:00.543)
It was nice. And one of the things Tessa said was the legacy you leave one day is gonna be even greater than the one you lost. Which I thought that was so kind of her. And I think it's true. I think that I think that these boys are gonna rally. I I don't think it's gonna be due to Steven Junior at all. I think it's gonna be due to Cole and Jesse and everyone else surrounding them. And I think that they are gonna be more successful. I think they're gonna come back bigger and better than ever before.

Kelli (33:07.36)
Yes.

Kelli (33:12.618)
Yeah.

Kelli (33:19.307)
No.

Wendy (33:28.961)
And we know he's getting out September eleventh. I mean he's getting out September eleventh.

Kelli (33:33.12)
Yeah, so what did he serve? A year and a half? A a year and nine months?

Wendy (33:35.765)
Not even He went in December first He went in December first Yes Yes Yes

Kelli (33:40.202)
This past December first? No.

Kelli (33:45.643)
So he only served ten months or will serve ten months? Wow. I mean, listen, what he did was wrong, obviously. What he did was very wrong, obviously.

Wendy (33:48.255)
Yes Yes

Kelli (34:02.034)
Of the the feds are gonna be watching him like a hawk. So one misstep and this guy's going right back.

Wendy (34:12.737)
Well, listen, I think the big part of it was the whole crop insurance thing and I really think they're out of the crop business. They're out of the crop business. They're doing cattle. So that alone is gonna help them.

Kelli (34:16.518)
Absolutely. Right. Right. Right.

Absolutely.

So they got a bus to take Steve Senior to jail so they could all go together. It's a minimum security prison. Jesse says his dad has always been the percy to re person to rally them. And Steve Senior gets out of the bus and walks into the prison by himself. That was sad.

Wendy (34:35.133)
Thought that was nice.

Wendy (34:45.131)
It was sad. It was very sad. It was a three hour drive there. before he gets off the bus, he says to Casey, Are you all right? She's like, Yeah, I'm good. He said, She's the rock here. Casey says, I'm ready to get rid of you. And everyone laughed. And Stephen Sr. says that well, that's why I love you. And I've always said this. I've always said Steven Sr. and Casey have a good relationship because last year when Allie and Jesse got married.

Kelli (35:03.734)
Yeah.

Wendy (35:14.401)
Casey was was there with Stevens. Like she's always been there by his side. They've always been very close. And when we found out about the Rolexes, and he gave one to Casey and he gave one to Allie. Like this is what this is what I like about Ste this is what I like. I think Steven Sr. was not a great role model for his sons.

Kelli (35:18.539)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Wendy (35:42.314)
Except for the fact that he is self-made. He is self-made. In the first season, Tessa talked about like where he came from and how he did this all himself, right? He didn't have a good relationship with his mother or his father. He's he's a philanderer, he's a womanizer, but he does love his boys. And

Kelli (35:56.577)
Right.

Kelli (36:03.35)
Yeah, like I don't think he set a good example as a husband, but as a father he was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wendy (36:06.729)
Right. He was there. He was there. He was there. I think he was a good father. I really do think he was a good father. And I think that the boys really look up to him. And they know they know what his downfalls are. They know that he wasn't a good husband, obviously, because the way he treated his mother and they saw what he did to Galina. And now, you know, Steven on Watch What Happens Live said, you know, he did a podcast that said that he was gonna marry Masha.

And Andy's like, Well, how did you do that? Steven Junior's like, I have no idea how he did the podcast. When w when I s yes, I sent it to you and I was like, How do they get this access? Not only do I not know Steven Junior doesn't know how it happened. Like, how does that happen?

Kelli (36:41.345)
wasn't he on Chantel and

Kelli (36:48.278)
That's crazy they got that podcast.

Kelli (36:55.456)
I'm gonna say this though. I'm happy that they're they're not doing Louie and Teresa's dirty work anymore. If they're not, I haven't I don't listen to them. But I'm happy that they've branched out a little bit. Well, that's the problem. They probably will be, yeah. But I'm glad that they branched out a little bit all about because I was calling them all about the real bullshit 'cause I think that's what they are because they weren't doing anything on their own. They were being fed everything from the inside. But this is different. This is different, so that's good.

Wendy (37:03.786)
they're g they will be. No

They will be.

Wendy (37:22.613)
Right. This is different and again I don't know who they know or how they know s I mean, they have to have some connection to get that that interview.

Kelli (37:30.25)
I think they're out there. I think that's like the area they're in.

Wendy (37:34.634)
It it could be. It very well could be. But also Andy asked, you know, about your your dad putting your mom on the top of the org chart and he said, Well in hindsight, yeah, I think it was the right decision because he said, I think with the wrong head. And Andy says, You think with your dick, like what are you gonna fuck the farm? And he goes, Well, if you ask Cole, that's what he would say. Yes, that is what Cole would say, because that is how you think. You don't care about anything but yourself.

Kelli (38:01.897)
Exactly.

Wendy (38:03.315)
And he did also say that he was equally as surprised as Braden that he wasn't on the org chart. I'm still surprised about that too.

Kelli (38:11.082)
That's kinda wild. I mean you got four kids. It's not that hard to figure it out.

Wendy (38:13.345)
Yeah. No. No. It's not. It's really not. It's not.

Kelli (38:19.724)
I mean you got Galena on there for crying out loud. Couldn't throw Brayden on the end?

Wendy (38:25.781)
I think really, I I think that, you know, Cole said it when they were in that meeting and Galina tried to throw them out and she left herself. Cole's like, I may not know how to do what she does, but I can figure it out. And I'd be honest with you, I think Cole could figure it out. And I think, you know what? I think when Steve McBee gets out of prison, I think they need to to find themselves a separate CFO and get her out of it. I really do. Just get her out of it.

Kelli (38:40.512)
I do too.

Kelli (38:51.008)
Yeah. And buy her out of the business, yeah.

Wendy (38:55.105)
Get her out of it. Let her go on.

Kelli (38:57.162)
Yeah. I mean, if Steven Junior has an MBA in in finance or business, I mean he could do what she does for crying out.

Wendy (38:58.763)
I mean, I think sh she's a fame whore.

Wendy (39:06.375)
it it I mean, I don't know.

Kelli (39:11.328)
Yeah, I don't know either. But that's it for McBee. We'll see what happens next week.

Wendy (39:15.415)
That's it.

Yeah.
