Podcast Summary – McBee Dynasty S2 E9 “Russian Invasion”
This episode dives deep into wedding stress, family drama, and a full-blown showdown at the car wash grand opening.
Jesse and Alli wrestle with doubts about marriage, societal pressures, and where they’ll live after tying the knot. Alli is supportive but worried, while Jesse insists the wedding will be a joyful day. The prenup debate heats up, with Christy siding against it, even as Steven Sr. and the brothers push for protection of family assets.
Meanwhile, harvest season hits crunch time with a $6M payment looming, but the McBees pull through thanks to soybeans and late corn yields. Still, Cole feels undermined by Steven Jr., and old business failures linger in the background.
Kalah opens up about her sister’s death and the complicated dynamic with Steven Jr., who still wants her at the wedding. Tensions grow when Galyna asks to attend and gets Jesse’s heartfelt invitation, solidifying her place in the family.
But at the car wash ribbon-cutting, chaos erupts: Masha arrives uninvited, sparking an explosive confrontation with Galyna. With bankers and investors watching, insults fly, daughters intervene, and the entire event teeters on disaster. Despite the drama, the car wash deal secures vital financial breathing room.
As wedding plans continue, Alli demands zero drama—only Galyna is allowed, no Masha. Jesse and Alli finally align on moving to the farm post-honeymoon. But the prenup fight with Steven Jr. reaches a breaking point, threatening brotherly unity.
Next week teases an even darker turn—Kalah’s absence, Galyna’s arrest, and the shocking revelation that the McBee brothers may face an FBI investigation.

Wendy (00:01.302)
Welcome to We Why Whenever, I'm Wendy.
Kelli (00:03.808)
I'm Kelly.
Gina (00:05.03)
I'm cousin Gina.
Wendy (00:06.74)
We are talking about McBee Dynasty, season two, episode number nine. One episode left for the season. This one's called Russian Invasion. yes, that's a good title. That's a good title. Good title. We start out where we left off with Jessie talking to Allie about his anxiety attack and she's saying that she really wishes that
Kelli (00:19.008)
It sure was.
Gina (00:20.966)
Perfect.
Kelli (00:24.322)
Yeah.
Wendy (00:34.346)
He would have talked to her about it sooner, but she's very thankful that he is talking to her about it now. So I don't know if you ladies saw it, Us Weekly just came out with an article. They were on, I don't know if they were on the cover, but they did an article with Us Weekly. And Allie talks about that they, she was pregnant. She was pregnant for the wedding. Jesse had the secret. The production didn't know, the cameraman didn't know. Most of the family didn't even know.
They held that secret. Jessie knew. Yes, that was part of the anxiety attack. Jessie knew, Ali knew, and that was part of the anxiety attack. And we said that, like, you know, she had to have been hurt. It was early on, it was early on, but they knew that she was pregnant and they knew that she was expecting a girl. And so, yeah, so that added to all the stress of planning the wedding and the prenup agreement and all that. So I was very glad to see that.
Kelli (01:04.44)
So Jesse knew while this was filming, when he had the anxiety attack, he knew she was pregnant.
Wendy (01:33.782)
that they came out with that story because, you know, we kind of thought, you know, yeah.
Gina (01:38.33)
We figured it because of how close the little babies were born to each other. And I took a close look at her in this last episode. Just a teeny bit. You wouldn't notice if you weren't looking for it,
Wendy (01:43.819)
Yeah.
She could see a little bit. Just a little, but she was the beginning. No, and it's her first pregnancy. It's not like it's your second when you, after your first one you pop right away. she was, yeah, she's still beautiful. Absolutely.
Kelli (02:02.584)
She was being extremely understanding throughout this whole conversation. Like her confessional broke my heart. But she was making it easy for him to keep talking and saying how he felt.
Wendy (02:11.892)
Mm-hmm.
Wendy (02:15.926)
Absolutely, absolutely.
Kelli (02:16.398)
Like knowing that she was pregnant at the time and you know, she didn't show any signs of like, are you fucking kidding me? You know what I mean? Like that would have been my reaction. She was so understanding. Like what a good demeanor she has. Yeah.
Wendy (02:26.515)
No.
Wendy (02:33.91)
She really does. think that honestly, I hate to say, but I really think that they are the perfect couple. she... I know. I know. It's true. It's so true.
Kelli (02:39.596)
Well, see, now that's the pressure that he was feeling.
Gina (02:42.936)
The long run, either in it for the long run.
Kelli (02:46.198)
Yeah, no, I think they're going to be just fine. I mean, I think they're going to defy the odds of high school sweethearts, right? Yeah.
Wendy (02:52.082)
I do too, I do too because despite what he grew up with his parents, his mom is a rock star. She's an absolute rock star. So yeah, so like you said, in her confession, she's crying. I mean, I would be crying too. She's, you yeah. And doesn't even think, like doesn't even give it a second thought. Like, you know, if this is something you need, this is what we'll do. And he's like, listen, like, let's just do it like.
Kelli (03:01.164)
No. She proves that this episode for sure.
Gina (03:01.922)
Yes, she is.
Kelli (03:10.006)
She offers to postpone the wedding!
Kelli (03:15.52)
Nope.
Wendy (03:21.908)
you know, we're going to get through this. We are going to get through this. There's no need to, we've done all this planning. We're, mean, they're at the finish line at this point, right? They're right there. So they, you know, they go forward with it. The next thing we see is Steven Jr. and Jesse are building the Arbor. I didn't realize it was an
Kelli (03:24.782)
Yeah.
Kelli (03:29.518)
Yeah.
Kelli (03:38.914)
Even Junior can really dance well, can't he?
Wendy (03:41.456)
Yes!
Gina (03:42.497)
He said he took lessons for nine months.
Wendy (03:45.14)
Yeah, he did.
Kelli (03:45.378)
Well, they paid off, Steven Jr. You look great.
Gina (03:48.728)
I wonder what he was taking lessons for. I'm thinking he was, he thought he might get Dancing with the Stars after Joe Millionaire.
Kelli (03:54.926)
maybe. Maybe.
Wendy (03:57.288)
No, he actually said on his podcast that he couldn't do Dancing with the Stars because they were asking him if there was other reality shows he would want to do. And they mentioned Dancing with the Stars. He's like, no, no, I can only do the two-step. That's it. Line dancing the two-step. He's like, that's about it. But I.
Gina (04:16.547)
I can't find her podcast.
Wendy (04:20.173)
I'll send you the link.
Gina (04:21.422)
Thanks. I was looking forward to today.
Wendy (04:23.368)
Yeah, I didn't realize the arbor was an octagon shape. When I think of an arbor, I think of like an arch, right? Isn't that what you think?
Kelli (04:27.522)
Me neither!
Kelli (04:31.404)
Right, an arch. Yes, that's what I thought they were building.
Gina (04:32.366)
Yeah.
Wendy (04:34.206)
Yeah, so when I saw it...
Gina (04:35.075)
was confused because then he was building the boxes to dance in.
Wendy (04:38.868)
Well, no, that was, no, no. So the arbor itself was an octagon shape and then he came back and Stephen took the pieces away from it and he put the boxes to dance in and was messing up the octagon. Yeah. I mean, I loved, I so love that scene. I really like them. They really are a close knit family. They are really a family that, you know, hangs out together and likes each other.
Kelli (04:49.264)
to teach him how to, yeah.
Kelli (04:55.698)
me too. I thought that was a great scene.
Kelli (05:01.208)
Yeah.
Kelli (05:06.328)
Yeah, I like it.
Wendy (05:06.504)
And I didn't realize, so Stephen said that Jesse had a management, a construction management degree. Who knew? I didn't know.
Kelli (05:13.144)
Yeah.
Wendy (05:16.918)
Then we see Coles in the fields. He's looking at the soybean pods. This is the last day of harvest and you know, they need to get everything harvested and get it out to wherever they send it off to so that they can make this six million dollar payment. And at this point, we're not sure if it's going to happen. you know, they're worried about it. And listen, I can understand that. That's big nut to crack there, six million dollar payment.
Gina (05:40.917)
I loved watching them harvesting the fields, watching the combine pick it up and shoot it into the truck. I mean, they have to be right next to each other. takes a lot of skill to do that.
Wendy (05:47.219)
I love that too.
Kelli (05:47.446)
In the back? Yeah.
Kelli (05:52.31)
Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
Wendy (05:55.286)
I love that. want to see more of that. And I do have a feeling, know, Steven's, he's done a couple interviews. What interview do I listen to him? He did a podcast with Ryan Bailey. I listened to him on Ryan Bailey. He doesn't give anything away, but I do think, I have a feeling season three, they started filming or it films already. I have a feeling he's not giving it up yet. I think he's not allowed to.
Gina (05:58.006)
Yeah.
Wendy (06:25.376)
but I wouldn't be surprised because there's so much we need to know.
Kelli (06:25.88)
Yeah.
Gina (06:28.182)
What happened is they may be filming, the production company may be filming it, but Bravo hasn't picked it up yet. Yeah.
Wendy (06:34.762)
I mean, that could, I mean, why wouldn't they pick it up though? I mean, this is like a huge hit.
Kelli (06:39.043)
Yeah.
Gina (06:39.349)
Yeah, I mean they took it from CMT or whatever station it used to be on.
Wendy (06:42.902)
Ryan even asked him, like, you guys doing a reunion? And he's like, you know, I haven't heard anything about it. And Ryan's like, listen, if you guys don't, I'd be more than happy to host the reunion for like, I don't know if you've ever listened to Ryan Bailey. I mean, it's family. They don't need a reunion. It's family.
Kelli (06:52.866)
But what if they need a reunion for? Honestly, I hope they don't do a reunion. It's family. And you know what the reunion does? It just brings up old bullshit that's just gonna cause a problem. So I hope they don't do a reunion. Just let this family be. Let's just enjoy this family.
Gina (06:57.538)
Yeah, it's a family.
Wendy (07:05.778)
No. No, they- Yeah, well, I could see that.
Gina (07:09.095)
Andy may do it just to have the cowboys in the studio.
Kelli (07:13.62)
I mean, listen, I'm here for that.
Wendy (07:16.854)
Yeah, I agree. don't think they need to do a reunion. don't, I mean, just give us the next season. Just give us the next season. That's all. Give us the next season and give us more than 10 episodes.
Kelli (07:19.522)
Nah.
Gina (07:21.407)
It's not going to give us anything.
Kelli (07:23.264)
No. Yeah, let them be their family. Like, right.
Gina (07:27.562)
And don't make us wait a year.
Wendy (07:29.876)
Yeah, don't make us wait a year. We need more than 10 episodes. We want more of the family. We want to see more of Tessa. We want to see the album that she... Tessa, I know. So Tessa is, she has been on the farm for 20 something years. She's like a second mom to the boys. And she's the one who brings the fuel truck out and refuels the combines and refuels the trucks. She drives the fuel truck.
Kelli (07:38.798)
This is Tessa, I saw somebody comment on one of our posts.
Wendy (07:55.158)
but she's also the one in the morning making sure that they're all eating. She is like the mother of, the farm mother, for lack of a better word. And the boys said she put her career on hold to stay on that farm and be with that family. This is her family. I mean, she has her own family. Don't get me wrong, but we wanna see more of Tessa. I love Tessa. I love Tessa. Oh, absolutely, 100%. 100%.
Kelli (07:55.542)
Okay
Kelli (08:03.693)
Okay.
Kelli (08:16.141)
Right.
Yeah, I'm sure she'll be at the wedding, correct? So she'll be in the next episode.
Gina (08:18.773)
Yes.
Wendy (08:24.682)
So we find out the next we see Christy, Allie and her mom and Jesse are at the catering facility. The guest list count is at 169 right now and Jesse said, and no Russians. And they're tasting the food. I know I thought that was funny. They're tasting the food and when they're done tasting the food, Jesse's is like, I have to go back. You guys can do the tablescapes. I have more work to do. And his mom goes outside with him when he's leaving.
and he starts asking her, he has a conversation with her about the prenup and Christie says, I'm not for it. I've known her, I've known her mother, we've known her, she deserves everything that she's gonna get if you get divorced. And this is yet another reason why I love Christie. You know what, she's a strong boy mom, but yet she's a strong woman for other women.
Gina (09:16.778)
I heard her break it down. Yep.
Kelli (09:17.004)
And she called it, she said, I know where this came from. And then they show her ex-husband.
Wendy (09:20.308)
Yep. Yep.
Gina (09:22.817)
She broke down how much Allie would get and she said, it's a lot of money, but percentage wise, it wouldn't kill us. She said that girl, she goes, I don't think it's ever gonna happen, but if it did, she deserves it.
Wendy (09:29.652)
Right, it's 12 and a half percent.
Kelli (09:36.056)
Well, especially now that she's having his kid. She definitely deserves it.
Wendy (09:38.582)
Right. And now for nothing, if Galena has 10%, why can't Allie have 12 and a half? Allie's already been there for 12 years. Right?
Gina (09:38.901)
Yeah.
Kelli (09:45.326)
Exactly. Yes. Yes.
Gina (09:50.625)
And okay, now Galena's 10%. I keep hearing the boys say they each own 25 % of the farm. I think Galena's 10 % is from the car washes. I don't think it's the farm because the boys say they each own 25%. That's 100 % of the farm.
Wendy (10:01.878)
10%. I think it's from all of the businesses.
Kelli (10:12.184)
Hold on though. So does the father have any percent? Does the father have any percent?
Gina (10:14.516)
So I'm thinking it might be the car washes. I don't know, but four times 25, unless the youngest brother doesn't have a percentage.
Kelli (10:25.304)
Well, no, what I was thinking was, so if Galena had 10%, then the brothers would have 25 % of the remaining 90%. Like the remaining 90 % would be cut into four. You know what I mean?
Wendy (10:40.788)
Right, no, I know what you're saying. Listen, the math is not math-ing, let's just put it out there. We don't know exactly what their business structure is. We don't know, you know, he has said that they have a lot of businesses. He mentioned the car wash. He said that she was very instrumental with that. I know that his big focus was the meat plant and the meat production and, you know, the cattle and not, you know, worrying about the crops. So.
I don't know if she has a piece of the whole big pie or if she only has a piece of the car washes, but whatever it is, she does have a financial, she does have a, yeah, she does have a big financial interest. mean, 10 % is 10 % of whatever it might be, right?
Kelli (11:10.573)
Right.
It could just be the car wash.
Gina (11:15.305)
That's primarily which, primarily which, sorry.
Kelli (11:23.916)
Yeah, exactly. Whatever it is, it's 10 % of whatever it is.
Wendy (11:28.158)
I also like that Christy said that if you brought this up to Allie, it would devastate her. I like that she said that because I feel like that's one of the reasons Jesse was having the anxiety attack is because
Kelli (11:34.422)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Kelli (11:41.036)
Right, because he knew that.
Gina (11:41.492)
Because Allie doesn't know about Galena's 10%.
Wendy (11:44.604)
No, because she doesn't know about the prenup. The question about the prenup.
Kelli (11:45.069)
No, because-
Right. Like he was having anxiety over the thought of bringing it up to her. Right.
Gina (11:48.401)
the pre-nup, okay, yeah.
Wendy (11:52.704)
Just the question, right, to saying to have that conversation. I wouldn't want to have that conversation.
Kelli (11:57.656)
No way.
Wendy (12:00.095)
and the next we see we're back in Kansas city and Steven jr's place and Cal is there
Kelli (12:07.941)
that's his place?
Wendy (12:09.352)
Yes. Yes. So he has a place in the city.
Gina (12:12.113)
It said it was his farmhouse or his city house, one of them.
Wendy (12:15.166)
It's a city house. It's this Kansas city. I think it's an apartment. Like it seems like it's an.
Kelli (12:19.32)
So wait a minute, so Cala has her own apartment that Christie's paying for and Steven Jr.
Wendy (12:22.632)
In Dallas, in Dallas, in Dallas, her own apartment is in Dallas, Texas. He has an apartment. She was at Steven Jr's in Kansas City. He has an apartment in Kansas City. I don't know if it's a condo whatever, but it's like an apartment in Kansas City.
Gina (12:27.859)
where she's from.
Kelli (12:29.678)
but she was not there. She was at Steven Jr.' apartment.
Gina (12:40.745)
But let me just make a statement about Calla. If my sister just died and she left a three-year-old daughter, I would be saying, F this reality show, I need to be in Dallas with my niece. I know her mother, but her mother is probably in her late 50s, early 60s. Raising a three-year-old has to be a lot of work.
Kelli (12:40.813)
Got it.
Kelli (12:57.304)
So... Her mother, yeah.
Kelli (13:06.57)
Not necessarily though, not if Christie's 51. Cala's mom could be the same age.
Wendy (13:10.624)
Right.
Gina (13:12.86)
Yeah, but it's old to be running around after she needs the help of her daughter. I could never, ever leave my sister's child like that.
Kelli (13:19.458)
Listen, you ain't lying. I couldn't take care of a three-year-old every day at my age.
Gina (13:25.83)
I would not leave my sister's orphaned child to go film a reality show. Sorry.
Kelli (13:34.594)
I'm wondering like, was she already under contract for this? probably, but she's not on a lot. So maybe when she's not filming, she is there helping because she's really not on. I mean, I only, I just came into this. I didn't see the beginning of the season. I just listened to your guys podcast, got caught up and then started watching, but it doesn't sound like she's been on a lot.
Gina (13:42.139)
No.
Gina (13:46.448)
I hope so. I hope so.
Wendy (13:58.09)
Well, she was last season. should watch, when you get a chance in between seasons, you should definitely watch the first season because you'll get a better picture of the whole thing. Listen, I don't think, know, her daughter's, her niece's name is Harlow and she's FaceTiming with her. That is a pretty name. I don't know, Kelly and...
Kelli (14:08.462)
Right.
Kelli (14:18.615)
love that name by the way.
Wendy (14:27.366)
Like you said, couldn't, you know, it would be hard, but you know darn well if you were needed to run after right today. And just like Gina, you know what would be hard, but if somebody needed you to run after a three-year-old, you would be right there to do it. And so would I.
Kelli (14:33.486)
Absolutely.
Kelli (14:40.384)
Absolutely. Absolutely.
Gina (14:42.619)
leave that three-year-old side.
Wendy (14:44.466)
Exactly, exactly.
Gina (14:46.011)
If that was my sister's baby, everything else in my life would be on the back burner.
Wendy (14:51.294)
Right. So if you were needed to do it, regardless of what your age or what your condition or your finances, you would be there to do it. Right.
Kelli (14:51.691)
Absolutely.
Kelli (14:59.735)
Absolutely.
Gina (15:00.399)
I said I would have quit the reality show.
Wendy (15:02.196)
But my impression, and I don't know Calla, I really don't know her, I don't think that she, I think she's a me person. I think she is a me person. I don't think she thinks of others. I think she puts herself first. I don't see her doing that. I don't see her having that in her. Again, I only know what I've seen of her on these two seasons.
Gina (15:19.261)
Exactly.
Wendy (15:28.978)
I don't know her from before. didn't watch her on Joe Millionaire. I've seen her social media post. I've seen, you know, she still feels like she's owed something. And someone like, like, I mean, what are you're not owed anything. You're not owed anything. So, you know.
Kelli (15:44.628)
No, no, but she definitely doesn't seem like the type to go run and.
Wendy (15:49.808)
No, she's not that person. She's not. She's not.
Gina (15:53.359)
If that was Casey or Allie, we'd never see them again. Unless they went somewhere else to film them.
Wendy (15:56.52)
Right, no, exactly. Yeah. So Callis says she's in a weird position because Steven keeps asking her to go to the wedding and he wants to get back with her, she's saying. I mean, I can see him giving that mixed message. I can see him saying, he doesn't, at this point still, while we're watching him now, he's not confident to be alone. He doesn't want to be by himself because he's the one who keeps letting her come back.
He's the one who's inviting her. He's the one who's, you know, he's the one bringing her back despite what he knows and what his family's saying. He's the one who wants it. So.
Gina (16:34.577)
They can't quit each other.
Kelli (16:34.786)
Yeah. Right.
Wendy (16:37.686)
Well, at least we know that they have for now, like they're done. They're not together. I will tell you, yes, he says it. He says it. He said it on Watch What Happens Live. He said it on the Ryan Bailey podcast. They are done. They are not together. I will say this also all over social media, there is that country singer that keeps like posting. He's already addressed that. He's not with her. She uses AI to like,
Gina (16:43.164)
It looks like that now in real time. In real time.
Kelli (16:45.185)
it does now like on social media.
Wendy (17:06.87)
put his face on other people's in their video. Like he was not even in those videos. Well, I mean, that's AI. I don't know that she does it. No. So there's a country music singer. This is a pretty blonde girl and she does these videos and he's like in the background or he's like, I think he's even kissing her or dancing. They're dancing. Steven Jr. Right. And it's all over social media.
Gina (17:10.577)
She does a great job.
Kelli (17:13.55)
Wait, who are we talking about, Calla?
Gina (17:15.877)
No, I'll tell you in a second. Keep talking, Wendy. I'll pull it.
Gina (17:27.473)
dancing with her.
Kelli (17:29.08)
Who's Steven Jr.? okay.
Wendy (17:35.944)
And people think that they're dating and that they're together. They are not together. They are not dating. He is absolutely single. And that stuff is all AI generated, which is crazy. It's crazy.
Kelli (17:47.054)
Yeah, it's crazy.
Gina (17:48.869)
It's her name's, Sadie Bass. S-A-D-I-E. This is, this is her photograph. This is TikTok.
Wendy (17:51.464)
Yes, that's it.
And people comment on our post. Yeah, yep, yep. She's very pretty. People comment on our post about her. that he's dating. And then other people are like, no, she's not. they, you know, back and forth. I know, and I sent it back to you. I'm like, nope, this isn't real. Like you have to really dig. Because AI's crazy what you can do with it. It's crazy.
Kelli (18:01.838)
She's very pretty.
Gina (18:11.014)
sent you that in a PM two months ago. said, I don't think he's with Calif.
Kelli (18:11.16)
Ha ha.
Gina (18:19.084)
I know, I had to go back and really look.
Kelli (18:19.342)
Wow.
Wendy (18:26.198)
So then we see Christy and Michelle. I don't know. Christy keeps getting text messages from Galina while she's out with Michelle. Galina texts about how she's worked with the boys every day and completely respects her decision, but she feels like she really wants to come to the wedding. I'm gonna say this. This is the ballsyest thing I've ever seen.
Kelli (18:47.17)
can't believe that this bitch is texting this woman and saying that she wants to be at the wedding. mean, honestly, I mean, I know we'll get there. I can't believe the balls on Galina, period. You were sleeping with him while he was married to Christy. So your reaction to everything going on is wild to me.
Gina (18:48.846)
Anybody!
Wendy (19:02.005)
Yeah.
Gina (19:07.334)
about Christy when she showed her last text.
Wendy (19:14.998)
Yeah, yeah, Christie says her last text, 2019. 2019, and she already knew about her and Steven being together, and she asked about cleaning my house. Cleaning her house. She said she was a hard worker. She said she was a hard worker. And then they flash a picture of Galena, I guess, in 2019. I mean, 2019 is six years ago. She looks so much younger in that picture.
Gina (19:16.048)
Did you see what Christy showed the last text?
Gina (19:29.072)
And she said she was a good housekeeper.
Kelli (19:32.75)
It's crazy.
Kelli (19:43.63)
She looked a lot younger. Yeah.
Wendy (19:45.672)
Right? mean, she looked like she was 20 years younger. And I know that that sounds crazy, but she looked a lot younger in that picture. Not six years younger.
Kelli (19:52.684)
Yeah, yeah
Gina (19:53.646)
If you look at Galina from last year to this year, you'll see a big difference. And I think it's too much filler. Yeah, I think she used too much filler in her face. Her face looks too round. But I have to tell you something. Eastern European, Russian, Slovak skin, you don't get wrinkles. My father's family, all Slovak, not a wrinkle in them. Right?
Kelli (19:58.703)
Maybe she had like fillers? Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. Yeah.
Kelli (20:15.63)
Yeah, like she probably didn't need it. She probably didn't even need it.
Gina (20:21.947)
Mm-hmm.
Wendy (20:22.538)
Probably didn't, and that ruins you.
Kelli (20:26.254)
Yeah.
Gina (20:26.715)
But Masha came around, she's got to do whatever she can. And you know what I hate? You know what I hate? People on social media calling her Masha. It's not Masha, it's Masha.
Wendy (20:30.432)
Well, before that happened, what?
Kelli (20:38.38)
I know.
Wendy (20:39.518)
It might be just spell check. You might type in Masha, because Masha is not a word. Because I know every time I type in Galena, even on my Google doc, it always spells it wrong. And I go back and I change it. And I don't need to, because it's my Google doc, but it drives me crazy. But it's probably spell check. It's probably just automatically spell check. But before that happens, Christy, love it in her confessional. She said she did a really good job of dusting our family photos. I was like, Christy. I was like,
Kelli (20:43.022)
you're right.
Gina (20:43.267)
Yeah, that could be.
Kelli (20:52.227)
Right.
Kelli (20:56.716)
Right, right, me too, it was me too.
Kelli (21:07.424)
Yeah, yeah, that was good. That was funny. Didn't you think Christy was going to bring up the prenup to Michelle?
Wendy (21:09.15)
I was like, there you go, Christy. And she's like...
Gina (21:10.523)
That was good.
Wendy (21:16.03)
I didn't. I didn't.
Kelli (21:17.43)
She was gonna bring it up and be like listen just so you know and I could tell you this is coming from my ex-husband But Jesse is not gonna do it, but I guess it's better that she didn't but I thought she was going to
Wendy (21:24.788)
No.
Wendy (21:29.811)
I didn't think she was.
Gina (21:30.213)
glad Allie didn't hear about it before the wedding. I hope she does.
Kelli (21:33.591)
Yeah.
Wendy (21:35.09)
No, I don't think she's going to. Once he had that conversation with his mom, that was all he needed. He just needed somebody on his side because he didn't have anybody on his side. know, his father was pushing his brothers and they were on that train and he was on it alone. So as soon as he got his mom, he's like, yeah, I'm good. Right? That's what he needed. That's all he needed. And as soon as Christy signed on, he was like, okay. I knew then, as soon as she said it, I knew then that, you know, he was good to go.
Kelli (21:54.668)
Right.
Gina (21:54.84)
Yep. Yep.
Kelli (22:03.842)
Right, right.
Wendy (22:05.354)
But Christy says that, listen, this is about the kids. And this is what I love about her is, do you need to pause? Okay. Okay. This is what I love about her.
Kelli (22:16.808)
I just can't stand living in my house, but no.
Wendy (22:19.638)
I get it. Listen, when we're done, we'll have a drink. Okay. What I love about Christy is that she's like, she always puts her kids first. She always puts them first. It's about the boys. If they want her there, then she can be there. And that's what she left it up to.
Kelli (22:24.62)
Yeah, we will.
Kelli (22:45.24)
Yeah, she's like, she really is a rock star, Christy. She really, really is.
Wendy (22:48.318)
She really is. She is. She really is. So then we see it's the last. Okay. No.
Kelli (22:55.368)
I'm so sorry. I did want to ask you both because I have only watched two episodes. Has there been a scene where Christie and Stephen Senior have been in together?
Gina (23:06.325)
I don't think so, I saw them sitting next to each other at the wedding in the previews.
Wendy (23:10.544)
No, we haven't seen them together, no.
Kelli (23:10.562)
Okay.
Okay, sorry, I was just wondering.
Gina (23:15.543)
Her, the mother was not, Christy was not in it a lot last year. She did make one or two appearances.
Kelli (23:20.673)
Okay.
Wendy (23:20.97)
We didn't see her at all. No, no, she wasn't in at all for season.
Gina (23:25.016)
I thought we saw her just a brief background with the younger brother.
Kelli (23:25.207)
Okay.
Wendy (23:27.824)
No, no, did not see her at all. Not until the second season.
Kelli (23:30.816)
okay.
Gina (23:31.736)
But you know what? I think those boys had to go to her and say, Mom, Dad can't film this year. We really need you. We need that parental image.
Kelli (23:38.7)
Right. Right.
Wendy (23:41.091)
Listen, I don't think that she wanted this. I don't think she's that person that needs to be in front of the screen, but when her boys need her, she's there. And she shows up.
Gina (23:48.058)
And if she really didn't want to do it, they could have had the other who pumps the gas. What's her name? Tessa could have stepped up a little bit too, but.
Kelli (23:48.824)
Yep. Yep.
Wendy (23:54.016)
Tessa, Tessa.
Yeah, but no, Kristy needed to be there because she's so awesome.
Gina (24:01.582)
with the Galena, with the Galena thing.
Wendy (24:04.446)
Yeah. So now we know it's the last day of harvest and Tessa gives them their pep talk, all the guys there that, know, this is the grand finale, the last day, they got to get all the crops out so that they can bring it. And she tells them like, this is it. You know, I love that. This is, I love that. So, Stephen Jr. says that him and Galina have been watching the yields and they're seeing what's coming out and they're cutting it close.
Kelli (24:04.653)
Yeah.
Wendy (24:32.306)
And then the next we see all the boys and their women are all together and they're all making dinner and they all, they brought back all the seasonings from when they went to Nashville and they're, you know, they're doing it on the stakes and they're, trying it all out. Jake is a farm worker, but he's, he's, he's integral. He's not related, but he's in a lot. He is like a brother cause he goes to Nashville with them. He's, goes to dinners with them. He goes bowling with them. He goes with the top golf, wherever they, he's, he's like,
Kelli (24:43.928)
Who? Who's Jake?
Gina (24:47.235)
Form hand.
Kelli (24:49.057)
Okay, he's not related.
Gina (24:51.318)
He's like a brother.
Kelli (24:55.895)
Okay.
Wendy (25:02.183)
One of the brothers.
Kelli (25:03.542)
Okay, well his girlfriend is adorable and I love her name. Teagan? I love that name.
Gina (25:07.011)
Tegan.
Wendy (25:07.902)
Yeah. Yeah. I think, and that's another thing, think, you know, season three, let's, let's learn more about Jake and Tegan, right? Let's learn more about Tessa. Let's learn more about Jake and Tegan. but Steven Jr. announces that he was nervous going into the fall. You know, the row crop side wasn't growing great and, wasn't sure it was going to work, but the soybean in the beginning wasn't so great, but in the end it really...
Kelli (25:15.66)
Yeah. Yeah.
Wendy (25:35.742)
it really came around and they're going to be able to make the payment without a problem. And I know, right?
Kelli (25:40.654)
God, I was getting a little bit of anxiety watching that scene. Everyone looked so nervous sitting there.
Wendy (25:48.328)
Yeah, because listen, mean, when you have-
Gina (25:50.784)
Last year when they were sitting there they were told no we can't make this six million dollar payment.
Kelli (25:56.65)
shit, really?
Wendy (25:57.416)
Yeah. So, you know, I still think there's this tension. think this is what they're trying to like show us, but I don't think that there's just real. The Cole, Steven Jr. tension that, you know, Cole made the decision to lease the land. Cole's the one that's on the ground. He's the one that's in the fields. He's the one running the combines. He's the one planting the seeds. He's the one managing the farm crew. He's the operations manager. I think that's his actual title, right?
Gina (26:24.172)
and he needs to be able to make decisions like that.
Wendy (26:26.61)
He needs to well, he should run them by his brother though. I mean, if your brother's in charge, you should just run them by your brother and not just, you know, run out and do it. But I think they want to make this into some kind of tension. And it is a bit of a tension because Steven Jr. is the one who is running the show and making the financial decisions. But Cole still is like his father and wants to be the one who's saying, I'm the, you know, the big man on campus and you're not going to tell me what to do.
Kelli (26:39.446)
Of course.
Wendy (26:56.66)
So I do think that that's something that we will see because I think that's like naturally where they are in their family. I just hope Bravo doesn't make it to be more than it really is.
Kelli (27:07.02)
Yeah, like we don't need a Teresa Melissa situation on our hands.
Wendy (27:09.962)
No, no, we don't. No, we don't. Like, let's just let it be. Yeah. Let's let it just let's let it be what it actually is. Right.
Gina (27:10.591)
No.
Kelli (27:13.663)
And Bravo will do it. Bravo will do that. They don't care.
Gina (27:21.225)
It's nice to see families that everyone loves each other.
Kelli (27:26.328)
Right.
Gina (27:27.701)
And there's no, we can't have this one in the room with that one. I'm talking about the family, not the Russians. Yeah.
Wendy (27:28.085)
Yes.
Wendy (27:33.108)
Yeah, no, it's the family and they, you know, they're there for each other. One calls, the other one drops everything. That was another, you know, it was like, I think it was two weeks ago, was supposed to do the podcast with Steven Jr. and Christie wound up doing it, which was when I got a lot of information because that morning Cole's dog got out and the dog died. The dog got hit and killed and they, horrible, horrible. Like they were all devastated.
Kelli (27:57.839)
that's terrible.
Gina (27:59.073)
So sad.
Wendy (28:03.232)
But you know what, he called up Christy, Christy got herself over to the farm or wherever it is they do the podcast and she made it happen. Obviously Cole is still in their hearts and you know, the loss of the dog is horrible and sad, but like these are real life family problems and real life business problems and they solve them. And this is why I love this show. This is why I love this show. And to all of our listeners and viewers, I'll
Kelli (28:03.95)
Wendy (28:32.574)
I'll actually put the link to the podcast in our podcast because you need to listen to the podcast too because we get to know what's going on right now. Like, cause they're on it and they're talking about it. We also find out.
Kelli (28:46.392)
Did Stephen Jr. say it's almost time for dad to come back?
Wendy (28:50.462)
Yeah, he did. The car wash, because the car wash. Well, no, because the car wash. So we'll get there, but before...
Kelli (28:52.408)
We know that's not happening,
Gina (28:57.419)
He, he's under, we're under the pretenses that he's away on vacation, like he's not around. So he may be referring, coming back to town.
Kelli (29:02.83)
okay. I thought he couldn't film because of the litigation. Okay.
Wendy (29:08.474)
No, no, no, no, we know, no, no, we know that he's away because he's, it's already come out on the show about the FBI investigation and then he's not around because of that. But he's been in Nashville working on other things, but he hasn't been on the farm.
Kelli (29:16.513)
Okay.
Gina (29:25.239)
And they sold the Nashville house in real time. It closed. They got like 1.2 for it or something.
Wendy (29:27.88)
They sold the Nashville house. Yes, it just, yeah, like two, I want to say two weeks ago. He also announced that on the Ryan Bailey podcast. But Steven Jr. also, we find out that he screwed up with the Arthur Bryan with the brisket deal and that deal fell through. Remember you were asking, I wonder if it went through? It didn't, it fell through. So it was a big deal, but they're still gonna focus on the cattle.
Gina (29:50.88)
That's a big deal.
Wendy (29:55.222)
It's nice to be able to make the payment and now they know what they did wrong with the brisket deal. So there's other Arthur Bryants out there. You can go get other big steak houses. There's other big steak houses you can go after and I think he will do that. know, it's listen, it's trial and error. It's a young business. young. They're young guys. You're going to make mistakes, right?
Kelli (30:02.818)
Yeah. Yeah.
Kelli (30:16.194)
Right, right.
Gina (30:16.682)
going to volunteer to buy some McBee meat and test it out.
Wendy (30:20.69)
Okay. Sounds good.
Kelli (30:21.294)
All right. Sounds good.
Gina (30:23.188)
Remind me, text me if I forget, because you know I forget if I don't do something immediately. But I'll buy a cup.
Wendy (30:28.758)
All right, got a lot, I have a lot to text, Eugenia. I do. Taking mental notes, which I'm gonna tell you. So then Steven says, listen, there's still a lot of debt and there's still a lot of work. The car wash is finishing up soon and with the car wash finishing up, that means that their dad is gonna be coming back.
Kelli (30:29.13)
You
You have a lot of homework, Wendy. I hope you're taking notes.
Gina (30:37.429)
So what happens when you have old friends, our brains have lower retention.
Wendy (30:56.98)
because he was a big integral part of that along with Galena. And he says also on the Ryan Bailey podcast, that's one of the reasons that they did diversify and go into the car wash business because farming is so, what's the word? Not reliable. Yeah, it's not reliable. I mean, it's so weather dependent. There's so many variables that you can't control. So they wanted something that they would have that was stable.
Kelli (31:02.306)
Right. Right.
Gina (31:14.399)
Cyclical.
Kelli (31:23.534)
Yeah.
Wendy (31:26.132)
You know, guess cars are dirty all the time, right? You always got to wash your car. So that's why they went into that business.
Wendy (31:36.98)
The next thing we see is the car wash and Galena's there. It's the grand opening of their last car wash that they're building. I love her daughter. Her daughter's there. All the boys are there. Yep, Irina.
Kelli (31:39.864)
you
Kelli (31:47.431)
Thank God her daughter was there.
Gina (31:49.385)
When's the first thing your daughter said to her? No drinking.
Wendy (31:53.012)
No drinking. Yeah. Listen, I like her daughter. I like that she's there and she's holding her mom, yeah, holding her accountable. You know, we know that they bet the farm on it because the VC deal fell through and...
Kelli (31:53.335)
Yeah.
Gina (31:59.154)
Level headed.
Wendy (32:10.486)
Christy called up Jesse the day before and said that Galina really wants to go and Jesse talked to Allie. So the day the car washed, Jesse shows up and gives Galina what he could find left of an invitation and lets her know that she's invited.
Kelli (32:23.598)
It was just the top cover. Whatever, she was happy with it, so that was nice.
Gina (32:25.631)
Half the imitation.
Wendy (32:27.358)
Yep. Yep.
Wendy (32:32.404)
Yep.
Gina (32:32.501)
I'm so glad she had that in her hand when Masha showed up. She was like, I have an invitation to the wedding. But they don't say anything, but Masha is Stephen's seniors plus one, I'm assuming. Did you think they told Stephen senior don't bring her?
Wendy (32:36.618)
Wendy (32:39.968)
Yep.
Kelli (32:40.504)
Yes, yes.
Kelli (32:49.784)
Well, but I don't think they, no, I mean, obviously, no, mean, Junior were showing the, they're showing the security, the picture of her. She's not allowed in.
Wendy (32:53.754)
Masha, no, no, no.
Wendy (33:01.014)
They do not want Masha there. No, Masha is not welcome there. Steven Sr. knows. No, he knows that she's not allowed there. He knows, just like she wasn't allowed in Nashville. He does not, yes, but he doesn't want her there. Listen, I don't think we're gonna see, I don't think we're gonna see Masha next season. I don't.
Kelli (33:04.322)
No way.
Gina (33:04.776)
What about Steven Senior? Do you think he wants her there?
Kelli (33:11.371)
Yeah, he better.
Gina (33:15.901)
And she was there.
Kelli (33:21.486)
I mean, it's your kid's wedding.
Gina (33:23.742)
She went to Nashville without permission. She went to the car wash without it.
Wendy (33:28.702)
I don't think Masha is gonna be there next season. That's all I'm gonna say. I don't think Masha is gonna be there. Well, Galena's got 10%. Yeah, yeah. So.
Gina (33:32.072)
But Kalina will be.
Kelli (33:32.686)
So, alright, so we'll get to it.
Wendy (33:41.31)
What happens?
Kelli (33:41.998)
Well, Galena says that she always wanted an American family, but you probably shouldn't have gotten that American family by sleeping with the father that was still married to the mother.
Wendy (33:52.628)
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Gina (33:52.99)
Find a single man.
Kelli (33:55.149)
I mean, come on.
You slept with your boss while he was still married. You wanted the American family that bad?
Wendy (34:01.589)
Well,
Okay, you know what?
Gina (34:04.358)
Six years later, seven years later, I still give Christy a lot of credit for not knocking her out. I couldn't be in the same room as her, let alone film a TV show.
Kelli (34:10.712)
For sure.
For sure.
Wendy (34:15.446)
So the interesting thing about this, Galena, so I listened to Galena on the Heather McDonald show, right? And you did too, Gina. Yeah. And she said that she met him at a car wash and that she was dating him before she was working for him. Steven Jr. on the Ryan Bailey show, a whole different story. Want to hear that story? So yeah, I bet you do. I bet everyone does. You guys need to listen to We Why Whenever because this is where you can get all the information because I'm out there looking for it.
Gina (34:21.564)
I heard that. Yes.
Gina (34:37.554)
Yes.
Kelli (34:37.891)
Yeah.
Wendy (34:46.13)
So Stephen Jr. said that they hired a consulting firm to find somebody and Galina was brought in as a consultant. They had no idea that she was dating their father when she was brought on.
Kelli (35:03.896)
What was she a consultant for?
Wendy (35:04.158)
So for the CFO position, for the position that she's doing, according to Steven Jr., he said this on the Ryan Bailey podcast, Ryan Bailey asks the questions, which is what I like about him. He's like, well, what happened with Galina? Was she dating? How did that happen? And he said, we did not know. She was working with us. We saw what a good work ethic she had. She came on as a consultant.
Gina (35:05.022)
That's too coincidental to me.
Kelli (35:11.534)
Wendy (35:34.019)
and we made the deal with her and then later we found out that she was dating their dad.
Gina (35:41.199)
Okay, this is how I think it happened. Somebody 45 years HR experience. Steve is sleeping with Galina. Okay. She's cleaning the house, whatever the case may be. So now they're looking for financials. Steven senior calls a consulting firm and says, I want you to send this girl and here's her resume. I've done it. Not boyfriend stuff, but if I, if I wanted somebody hired that I met somewhere or the boss wants his cousin hired.
Wendy (35:44.511)
Okay, I'm.
Wendy (35:50.272)
Mm-hmm.
Gina (36:11.559)
bring them in as a consultant. That's way it's done. No doubt in my mind. When you just told me that story, yeah, that's how it happened. There's no way.
Kelli (36:16.065)
It could be.
Wendy (36:17.792)
I mean that, yep, yep.
Kelli (36:21.102)
I mean, she probably wasn't cleaning the house at the time. Like the rest of the family probably didn't know who she was, right? And Steven met her somewhere, started sleeping with her, and then did what Gina said. Then she started cleaning it. She's like, I'll be your CFO and your housekeeper.
Gina (36:25.021)
There's no way out of all the people in that town.
Wendy (36:29.812)
Right, right.
Wendy (36:37.013)
Mm-hmm.
Gina (36:37.457)
Yeah, because if she
Gina (36:46.397)
And the boys are dumb as a stump if they fell for that crap.
Kelli (36:50.786)
Well, it doesn't sound like Steven Jr. did, right? no, he's the one that told the story about the Consul.
Wendy (36:54.044)
No, he's, yeah, he's the one who told the story. He's the one that's selling the story because that's what he said. He's like, you know, she came on as a consultant. We really saw her work ethic. We saw how good she was. And then we offered her this position and we, you know, we gave her equity in the company because she was going to be pulling all this stuff together and getting us this, you know, this money.
Gina (36:55.121)
No, he's one said that.
Gina (37:16.22)
You don't have to give an employee equity in the company. That's what their salary is for. Right. I mean, listen, I used to get stock options, but that's different. It's something you have to pay for. And it's not a percentage of the company. Hell no. I got to tell you something. When I saw people sleeping with those bosses, I said, it's easier to come to work and work hard every day than to sleep with that old man.
Kelli (37:19.372)
No, you got hired to do a job. We're going to pay you a salary.
Wendy (37:19.464)
No.
Wendy (37:27.338)
Well, that's different, yeah.
Kelli (37:27.47)
Okay, yeah.
Wendy (37:31.658)
But were you sleeping with anyone for the stock options?
Kelli (37:36.023)
Absolutely not.
Wendy (37:44.97)
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Kelli (37:45.667)
Man, I'll tell you what, not where I am now. This is probably the first law firm I've ever worked at where I have not thought somebody was sleeping with somebody else, paralegal sleeping with an attorney. This is the first law firm I've ever worked at where I don't suspect that is going on. And I've worked for quite a few law firms.
Gina (38:01.19)
That's amazing.
Gina (38:10.32)
I like to hear that.
Wendy (38:10.826)
Yeah. Yeah.
Kelli (38:13.226)
yeah, no, not where I am now. Nope, totally legit. Definitely not happening here. But prior, 100%.
Gina (38:21.294)
every workplace I've ever been at. And the people doing it are the ones that should know better, like the attorneys who are vice presidents of human resources.
Kelli (38:23.64)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Kelli (38:30.594)
Right. Right.
Wendy (38:34.836)
Yeah, so I don't know if we'll ever really know the real story of how Galina, but I just gave you two different stories that I heard from Galina and Steven Jr. And you guys can look them up because they're on national podcasts that I got the information from.
Kelli (38:35.553)
Unbelievable.
Right, it's gonna be one of those things.
Gina (38:51.269)
And somehow she was still cleaning their house.
Kelli (38:54.324)
Exactly, exactly. Well, she's a hustler.
Wendy (38:54.39)
Yeah. And that was in 2019. So we need to, I mean, we could probably look it up. I don't know if we can. What year did Galena become the CFO? You know, what year did that happen? Because Christie said they weren't divorced until 2021. So it probably didn't happen until after then. if she was, listen, it's...
Kelli (39:08.748)
Yeah.
Kelli (39:23.022)
Who cares?
Gina (39:23.621)
And Christy wasn't living in Gallatin for a lot of years. She was living in the city to work.
Wendy (39:23.946)
Right.
Wendy (39:27.516)
No, she wasn't living there. No. But her family pictures were there. Let me just tell you that. And Galeen. Yes. So then we are.
Kelli (39:29.698)
Yeah, yeah.
Gina (39:32.279)
Yes they were, and so were her sons.
Kelli (39:32.728)
That's true.
Kelli (39:37.08)
So then Masha shows up at the car wash.
Wendy (39:40.264)
with her Porsche, just as they're about to cut the ribbon. I just was like, you have got to be kidding me. Steven Jr. standing right next to Galina and she says, please pray for me. Steven Jr. says, stay calm, stay calm. And that's what they.
Gina (39:57.88)
I like how the boys, they treat her very well.
Wendy (40:00.904)
They do.
Kelli (40:01.391)
They really do. And it's very surprising knowing that she was sleeping with your father when he was still married to your mother. And Galina, you lose them like you get them. So you can have the wild reaction you're gonna have, but yet Christie's allowing you to go to her kid's wedding. Like get your shit together, Galina. You did the same fucking thing.
Gina (40:06.181)
Yes.
Wendy (40:19.636)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, Galina does the ribbon cutting and then she walks away and she's all pissed off and then you hear her say, fucking whore. Her daughter says, she's at a business setting. She needs to be professional. Her daughter is telling her this. She said, go do your job. Her daughter is telling her this.
Kelli (40:40.822)
Uh-huh.
Wendy (40:47.968)
There are people here that matter. Yeah, yeah. Her daughter's telling her there's people here that matter that are watching your behavior. Go do your job. Cole's talking to Jessie and saying that Masha showed up and she needs to not be showing up to events like this. And she doesn't, she has no part in this. But then we find out that they ran into her at a gas station and she said that she was doing some marketing.
Gina (40:48.036)
And the door is probably about 22.
Kelli (40:51.362)
She's young.
Wendy (41:17.258)
So again, maybe that's another consultant, right? Brought on a marketing consultant called Masha. And Galina's probably as this, Galina's probably writing the check as the CFO to some consulting firm, which actually going to freaking Masha.
Kelli (41:17.645)
Yeah.
Kelli (41:20.92)
Right, that Stephen Senior brought on, yes.
Kelli (41:27.682)
Yeah. He's just giving jobs away like candy.
Kelli (41:35.726)
And it's Masha
Gina (41:37.946)
her former best friend.
Kelli (41:42.008)
Holy cow.
Wendy (41:42.614)
funny is that? How funny is that?
Kelli (41:45.633)
I mean, Masha walking around with the investor, like that was a lot. I mean, she shouldn't have been there and thank God the boys agreed with that, but do not, like now you're just overstepping. Now you're overstepping.
Wendy (41:50.473)
It was a lot.
Nope. Yep.
Gina (41:56.834)
I didn't see the boys doing anything about it.
Wendy (42:00.427)
Right.
Gina (42:02.168)
lot of it's done for the camera but in a real situation the boys should have stepped in and gotten her out of there quietly.
Kelli (42:04.814)
For sure.
Kelli (42:10.228)
I totally agree with you. The boys. Well, listen, what is she gonna do? She's gonna fight with them? If those, they're the owners of the business. They're asking you to leave. Leave.
Wendy (42:11.882)
But how could they? I don't know how they could have.
Gina (42:17.946)
Mm-hmm.
Wendy (42:23.83)
But they have cameras on them and their mic too. You know, it, I don't.
Gina (42:28.184)
It was all planned, just like her showing up in Nashville.
Kelli (42:30.734)
Probably. Probably.
Wendy (42:33.535)
Mm.
Gina (42:36.164)
or text your father and say, get your girlfriend out of here.
Wendy (42:36.806)
Kelli (42:40.236)
Right, and how about Galena saying she's tired of being the bigger person? I'm pretty sure Christie's the bigger person in this whole scheme. Like, I'm sorry, Galena, you don't have much of a leg to stand on here.
Wendy (42:40.96)
Well, Steven Jr. says,
yeah.
100.
Wendy (42:56.362)
Right. Now, meanwhile, there's three bankers there and they still need 30 million in loans. They're still trying to get loans. So Stephen Jr. brings up to Galina that, you you're going to the wedding, she's not, like he's trying to bring her down, like he's trying to like, know, right, trying to bring her back in. So one of the investors, Taylor, goes up to Galina and says, listen, that interest only that you asked for, that's going to be approved, which is huge.
Kelli (43:11.948)
Yeah, he's saying all the right things, yeah.
Wendy (43:24.842)
When you're looking for big money and you get a loan that's interest only that you have to pay, that's huge. So she's like, all right. You only pay interest for, I don't know, sometimes it's 10 years, sometimes it's a certain amount of time. you're not paying the principal. So you're only paying the interest for $30 million. Because what your hope is that you're going to get the big windfall and be able to pay off the principal. So that's really what the hope is.
Gina (43:30.115)
What does it mean by interest only?
Gina (43:36.562)
you're not paying the principal off?
Wendy (43:55.408)
After that investor walks away, Galina goes over to Masha and says, what are you doing here? Masha says, what are you doing here? Galina is like, I built this place. And Masha's like, and she says, I'm also a part of the wedding. I got the invitation right here. And she waves it in her face. Meanwhile, she's calling her a scum, a whore, a prostitute. Masha says, the banker's right there looking at you. I'm like, God, she's right.
Kelli (44:12.558)
That's so funny.
Gina (44:12.824)
I loved it.
Kelli (44:24.568)
Yeah, like what are you doing?
Gina (44:26.959)
Then get your prostitution whore ass out of here. AKA Danielle.
Wendy (44:31.292)
Then Masha goes over to, Masha goes over to Arena and says, I saw you on the video with my car. Arena said I wasn't there. Yeah, Arena, her daughter's name is Arena. She's like, I'm going to lawsuit. don't have, I'm going to law school. I don't have time for this. I'm glad she's going to law school. Arena says to Masha, I'm 22 and I'm smarter than you'll ever be. Bang, that's it. She's right, she's right there. She's absolutely correct. She's right.
Gina (44:39.011)
She said it to her daughter.
Kelli (44:56.3)
Yep, yep. And she was right. Yep.
Wendy (45:02.496)
Galena's like now she's beating her stuff.
Gina (45:03.139)
And I'm glad she's, I'm glad she's going to law school because the way her mother is acting, she's going to need an attorney on call.
Wendy (45:10.262)
she's going to. I mean, honestly, I feel like they're all going to need some good attorneys.
Kelli (45:10.614)
I was thinking the same thing.
Kelli (45:16.994)
She might want to pay attention to those criminal defense courses.
Wendy (45:19.952)
Yes, yes, that yeah. So Galina says she still feels like she ruined the event. mean, she did a little bit. She did. Yeah, she did.
Kelli (45:29.218)
She did! She did. She should have kept her shit together.
Wendy (45:37.398)
So then we see, the next thing we see is the rehearsal dinner and they're looking at the seating chart and Allie asks if Cal is coming and Stephen Jr. says yes. So we know Cal is going to be there. I didn't know Stephen Jr. was going to be the officiant of the wedding. I love that. I love that. Allie, that's right. Yes, you did. So you could be an officiant too. Just like Stephen said.
Kelli (45:56.856)
Yeah, that was cool.
Gina (45:58.595)
I married Kelly's mother.
Kelli (46:00.847)
Yes, you did. Yep. Yep.
Gina (46:05.529)
I am an officiant and if anybody would like, I'll do it for free if it's within 20 minutes of my house.
Kelli (46:05.698)
Yep. Yep, she is.
Wendy (46:12.438)
And you just had to go online and get a certificate, right? That's what Stephen Jr. said.
Kelli (46:12.44)
There you go.
Gina (46:17.365)
It took as long as it takes you to type in your email address.
Wendy (46:20.79)
I love that.
Kelli (46:23.64)
That's pretty funny.
Wendy (46:25.61)
So,
Gina (46:25.922)
And I could do anything a priest can do. I could baptize people. I've done funerals. I could give last rites. I have the documentation of everything. I have a minister parking thing hanging from my car. Believe it or not, there's a lot of places that have minister parking.
Wendy (46:29.748)
Well.
Kelli (46:30.21)
You can give last rites.
Wendy (46:32.831)
I was like.
Kelli (46:34.507)
Really?
Kelli (46:42.798)
That's his therapy.
Wendy (46:47.606)
Hmm, interesting, very interesting. So Allie wants zero drama for her wedding day as she should. The wedding planner is told that Masha is not allowed at the wedding. The only Russian allowed is Galina. They show her a picture, do not let this woman in. Allie asks how the car wash went and Steven Jr. said Masha showed up and ruined it.
Kelli (46:47.768)
That's great.
Gina (47:01.043)
I loved it. Here's her picture.
Kelli (47:03.286)
He shows her a picture.
Wendy (47:14.922)
Jesse and Allie are talking about the plan when they get back from Hawaii. So we know that they're going to Hawaii for their honeymoon. They have to figure out a way to like be together and live together. Like where are they gonna live? And I think that that's important. I definitely think that they have to figure that out, but they're gonna figure it out, right? Whether they're gonna stay in this city house. Yeah.
Gina (47:32.301)
Well, it looked like they did.
Kelli (47:32.558)
Yeah. Well, she said she's gonna move to the farm. She's leaving her family, friends, and job to go live at the farm. Not leaving her job, but moving away from it.
Wendy (47:43.923)
Yes, yes.
Gina (47:44.256)
Right, but don't forget she's having a baby. She doesn't need to be driving an hour and a half. She also is a nurse practitioner. She can get a job anywhere. And she could even open up her own practice. They live in a small town. She could open up a small practice and be a general practitioner. She could do anything a physician could do.
Kelli (47:56.184)
Right.
Kelli (48:01.55)
Yeah.
Kelli (48:05.912)
Yeah.
Wendy (48:09.622)
So I think that's actually, it's interesting that you just mentioned that. I'm not 100 % sure. Maybe we should look this up. So I know a physician's assistant has to have a doctor that they worked under. Does a nurse practitioner need to have a doctor that they work? They don't. OK.
Gina (48:23.339)
No, I know this because my nephew's a nurse practitioner and he owns a couple of mental health facilities in Monmouth County. And he's a, he's a PA, the nurse practitioner. I think it's all the same. It's, it's equal to like a man.
Wendy (48:31.317)
Okay.
Wendy (48:40.456)
No, but it's not the same. That's what I'm saying to you. It's not the same. There's a different, there's two different programs. There's a physician's assistant program. Yeah. Okay. So there's the, yeah, the, the physician's assistant has to work under a physician. There has to be a physician that they're working under. And you're saying a nurse practitioner can work on their own, which would make sense.
Gina (48:45.587)
He's a nurse practitioner. Yeah, I'm wrong. He's not a physician's assistant. I'm wrong. Yeah, he's a nurse practitioner.
Gina (49:02.433)
My nephew has physicians at work for him, actually. He owns the building, he owns the practice, and it's mental health. And he hires physicians because some people need a psychiatrist. know, there's different types of mental health issues. yeah.
Wendy (49:06.056)
Okay, that's great.
Wendy (49:20.798)
Yeah. Yeah. Right.
So Stephen Jr. asked Cole and Braden if they know anything about the prenup and Stephen Jr. asked Jesse about the prenup. He's concerned that Allie will take 12 and a half percent. Jesse tells Stephen and Gina, Gina.
Jesse tells Steven and Galina that that's, yeah, I was like, why does he say, there's my damn auto, correct? That that's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. He doesn't think that they need to worry about Allie. And I'm glad that he did that. I'm glad that he stood up for her.
Gina (49:44.503)
Galena?
Kelli (49:48.366)
There you go. Auto correct.
Gina (49:58.399)
Yep. It's coming out of his percentage.
Kelli (50:03.106)
Right, Exactly. Either way, it's his 25 % to do whatever he wants with it. And like I said, they're already having a child. He's not gonna take that away from his kid.
Wendy (50:03.23)
Right, right, right. Why are they worried about it?
Gina (50:16.555)
And you know that after they get married, he could assign her the whole 25 % if he wanted to.
Wendy (50:16.798)
Well, and it's
Kelli (50:21.14)
Exactly! He could have ripped that prenup up!
Wendy (50:21.43)
He can do whatever he wants. And Stephen Jr. says, well, I understand that, but this sets precedence for Cole and myself. OK, well, that's on you.
Gina (50:32.543)
Pick, better, make better choices.
Kelli (50:34.136)
That's on you. Exactly.
Wendy (50:35.774)
Right, I mean, I Cole's fine. I think Cole will be fine with Casey. You, I don't know, because you make bad choices. So maybe you need to worry about your own shit and let Jesse and Cole worry about theirs.
Gina (50:45.739)
But if Cole, if Cole doesn't lighten up on the drinking, he's got a problem and he needs to worry about, cause I don't know Casey's going to put up with that.
Wendy (50:56.363)
I mean, I don't know. haven't heard anything. We haven't seen anything in a while, so...
Gina (51:00.917)
Hopefully.
Kelli (51:02.05)
Why, he's a bad drinker?
Wendy (51:04.328)
I actually, you know what? You know what I do know? When Christie was on with Steven Jr. on the podcast, they were talking about how much Cole has matured since that baby has been born. He's like a new person. And you know what? Becoming a dad will do that. Becoming a dad will do that. So I don't think we have to worry about Cole and his drinking. I don't. Yeah. Yeah.
Kelli (51:19.695)
that's good to hear.
Gina (51:20.203)
Aww, I'd love to hear that.
Kelli (51:23.192)
Yeah.
Gina (51:26.998)
I love to hear that. That's wonderful.
Kelli (51:27.086)
Good, good.
Gina (51:31.241)
And Casey deserves that.
Kelli (51:31.266)
Sometimes alcohol just isn't good for certain people, you know? Doesn't mean that you have a drinking problem. I mean, we said this on The Valley. Doesn't mean you're an alcoholic or an addict. It's just not, it doesn't bring out the best side of you.
Wendy (51:35.996)
No, some people it's not.
Wendy (51:46.24)
That's true.
So then the next thing, yeah, no, he's doing very well. They were all saying how proud of Cole they were and how he's like, like I said, he's matured so much and that's what, that's all you need. And sometimes that's what you need. Just a good kick in the ass, like a baby. Baby shows up and all of a sudden you're a whole different person, right? Steven's pissed when he has a conversation and he walks away. He's annoyed that Jesse isn't doing the pre-nup. But again, like we all said, it's not his problem.
Kelli (51:49.496)
but I'm glad to hear that he's doing well as a dad.
Kelli (52:02.253)
Right.
Right, yeah.
Gina (52:05.482)
Yep.
Kelli (52:16.952)
Yeah, let it be.
Wendy (52:17.728)
Then we see scenes for the next week and we see that obviously Cal is not there actually. She's supposed to be there, but she's not.
Kelli (52:25.56)
I have a feeling she shows up, she's probably just late or something. I'm sure she shows up.
Gina (52:30.481)
that is so rude. I hate lateness. Lateness to a wedding? That's even the worst.
Kelli (52:32.76)
Don't you think?
Wendy (52:33.842)
I don't think so.
Kelli (52:37.036)
Yeah, but...
Wendy (52:37.494)
I don't know. I think she went back to Dallas. I hope she went back to Dallas. And I think that that's probably what Stephen Jr. needed for him to cut her out, for her to say she was going to be there and then not be there. So if that's what happened, I'm here for it because she doesn't need to be there. Right?
Kelli (52:47.885)
Right.
Gina (52:51.445)
And if she brings drama, she shouldn't be there because Allie deserves to have her day.
Wendy (52:54.58)
Right. I agree. Then we see Galina is under arrest and Stephen Jr. tells Cole and Jesse that they're under the FBI investigation and there may be jail time involved because the brothers didn't know. Stephen Jr. and Galina knew Kala knew.
Kelli (52:57.326)
for sure.
Kelli (53:09.998)
Yeah.
Gina (53:16.276)
Do you think Alina's arrest has anything to do with the FBI or it's just drunk driving or something?
Wendy (53:16.807)
And the Chris, he knew. Nope.
Kelli (53:22.357)
I didn't think of that.
Wendy (53:24.082)
No, I don't think it has anything to do with the FBI. I think it has to do with Masha. But that could be that that's what they want us to think right now. Who knows? The episode may come on and it may have something to do with the FBI. But I don't think so because we haven't heard anything.
Gina (53:29.832)
Okay.
Kelli (53:38.722)
and she never gets to the wedding, right? This all happens before she gets to the wedding.
Gina (53:41.96)
We don't know.
Wendy (53:43.85)
We don't know. We don't know.
Gina (53:44.958)
We don't know. CFOs usually go down with the top people when there's fraud because they're the ones that sign a lot of the documents. But possibly what he's charged with, just the president or whatever his title is signed it. I hope Galina doesn't get in trouble for the FBI fraud issues.
Kelli (53:45.942)
Okay, that was the impression I got, that she never even makes it to the wedding.
Kelli (53:54.529)
Obviously.
Kelli (54:11.266)
Well, not if it's got to do with what you guys said. Well, wait, what was it, a loan or something?
Gina (54:14.354)
I think we would have heard about that by now.
Wendy (54:17.428)
I think we would have heard, and he already pled guilty to it. I mean, how many people are gonna charge with it? Right? So we're gonna have to wait until next week to see what happens, but I love this show. I love everything about it. I want Bravo to get me more shows like this. I want, you know what? You know what I want?
Kelli (54:20.119)
Yeah.
Gina (54:22.89)
Yeah.
Kelli (54:23.138)
Right. Right.
Gina (54:35.944)
There is one, it's called the cowboy way and I'll send you the link to it. It's not as salacious. It's not as salacious.
Wendy (54:39.177)
What one?
Wendy (54:43.38)
the cowboy way.
Kelli (54:44.674)
Yeah, Housewives is getting very played out, so we need something else. I'm so over OC. I don't give a fuck who's lying at this point. I just can't stand it anymore. And even Miami's getting on my nerves.
Wendy (54:49.044)
You know what I would like?
Gina (54:59.121)
Miami's the best.
Wendy (54:59.208)
I agree. know. No, we're not. Yeah, okay, we can talk about Potomac here. I did see the trailer. Okay, we can talk about Potomac here.
Kelli (55:01.442)
But did you see the coming into it? Did you see the trailer for Potomac?
Gina (55:07.409)
Okay. Was that the one I sent you the text last night said it's going to be boring because there's nothing in the trailer.
Kelli (55:07.436)
Yeah, I won't talk about the others. Monique is back.
Wendy (55:16.512)
I mean, there's so much in the trailer. There's so much in the trailer. Monique is back. Stacy is not divorced, I don't think. Mauricio shows up with Giselle. There's a lot going on. What are you talking about? Did you see the same trailer we saw? Okay, you didn't see the same trailer we saw.
Kelli (55:16.555)
it might have been, but I'm just glad that Monique is back.
Kelli (55:26.752)
Yeah Mauricio's there!
Gina (55:31.323)
No, that's not what I saw. It's not what I saw. Salt Lake City was the one I sent you the text on. I didn't see the Potomac trailer, but I'll...
Kelli (55:38.338)
That's what- that's what you said. You know what, honestly, I could give or take Salt Lake City, but we'll see.
Wendy (55:38.774)
okay. Okay.
Wendy (55:45.664)
So yeah, I'm excited for Potomac to come back. I'm excited to see what happens. I was trying to look at the cast photo and I'm not sure I even know who all the people are, to be honest with you. Okay.
Kelli (55:55.033)
There's a couple of new people. There's definitely two. Kiana's back. wait, did Jassy get a full-time spot?
Wendy (56:04.276)
I mean, Giselle introduced somebody in one of the pro, but I don't know if they're full time. Yeah, well, no, that's fine. We don't need.
Kelli (56:07.712)
Yeah, I think there's like two new girls, but Robin's not back.
Gina (56:12.989)
I wonder if we'll see any people from Love Hotel like we saw on OC.
Kelli (56:18.829)
you're right. Yeah, because they were both there, Giselle and Ashley.
Wendy (56:20.628)
Well, yeah. Maybe, maybe we, no, don't, Giselle. He's just in a scene with Giselle, but yeah, who knows? It's interesting that we get a little bit of Mo, right? No, I'm here for Potomac.
Gina (56:23.357)
Yeah. Who was Mauricio with?
Kelli (56:27.608)
Giselle. I mean, he's just in a scene, so who knows, but yeah.
Kelli (56:35.564)
Yeah.
Wendy (56:39.954)
I, and supposedly Stacy's trying to Monique's ex. What's it? Chris, what's his first name? couldn't think of it. Yeah, so I'm totally here for Potomac. All right, so the other idea I have for Bravo, real quick, because we're almost at an hour, is I would like to see, not even just more like country farming cattle thing, I wanna see other more family real stories.
Kelli (56:47.407)
yeah, Chris Samuels.
Kelli (56:53.624)
Yeah, I'm here for it too.
Gina (56:55.378)
I love that show.
Kelli (57:08.802)
Yeah. Yeah.
Wendy (57:09.832)
I would like to see maybe like a family like restaurant business. mean, restaurants, there's so much like just.
Kelli (57:17.42)
Yeah, but we already have Southern hospitality. They tried that with candy. They're probably not going to do it again.
Wendy (57:25.13)
How about the Deadliest Catch? Not the Deadliest Catch, but how about commercial fishing? Maybe not the Deadliest Catch commercial fishing, but maybe another commercial fishing, like on Bravo, and the other side of it, not the fishing side of it, like the other side of it, the people that are home. Maybe something like that. Bravo, come to me. Ask me, ask me, because I have ideas.
Kelli (57:34.221)
Yeah.
Kelli (57:38.509)
Yeah.
Kelli (57:47.183)
Listen, I would like a beauty salon, like a salon. Like I would love that. Tannema's takeover was great, I mean, it was so bad and it was so overly produced, but do you remember Jerseylicious? Was that what it's called?
Wendy (57:54.462)
like the Tabitha, like the Tabitha coffee thing.
Gina (57:56.594)
Tabitha's Takeover.
Wendy (58:00.638)
Let's do something else.
Wendy (58:07.729)
I kind of remember.
Gina (58:07.89)
That was done at the place that gave me the worst haircut I ever had, the Gatsby Greenbrook.
Kelli (58:12.974)
Yeah, that's exactly it. But something like that, but real, not overproduced like that one was.
Wendy (58:13.994)
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Gina (58:15.92)
They were horrible.
Wendy (58:20.682)
This is what we want. We want real reality TV. don't... Yeah, and it doesn't have to be like families taking down other families. It could just be like the real shit that goes down, the stupid shit that goes down.
Kelli (58:25.218)
I mean, shit goes down in a salon.
Kelli (58:31.777)
Of course.
Gina (58:32.71)
Am I, I have a salon we can film at.
Kelli (58:37.29)
Exactly, Melanie's.
Gina (58:38.67)
salon you could set up cameras tomorrow.
Kelli (58:43.97)
Yeah, this is what I want.
Wendy (58:44.084)
Yeah. Okay. All right, Bravo. This is what we want. So just, you know, come, come see us. We'll give you some more ideas. And until next time, thank you for watching. Nah, we don't, you don't need to pay us. Just listen, if you could get us on the on watch what happens live behind the bar, that would be great. Our goal, I'm going to tell our listeners what our goal is. Our goal is to get a hundred thousand downloads per month so that we can make some money.
Kelli (58:52.002)
Yes. If you pay us. No, I'm like.
Kelli (59:01.646)
Yeah, I'd like to do that.
Wendy (59:12.766)
Okay, I know that this sounds a little bit desperate, but we really enjoy doing this. And the only way that that's gonna happen is if our listeners subscribe and give us five star reviews and download, like just subscribe to everything. Everywhere. We're on YouTube. We're on YouTube. We have Apple podcasts. Anywhere you get your podcasts, subscribe to us. Any place you listen to a podcast, subscribe to us and YouTube.
Gina (59:26.416)
Where do you want them to subscribe at? What is the number one?
Kelli (59:29.858)
Yeah, everywhere but YouTube would be great.
Gina (59:33.842)
You
Gina (59:40.762)
Now is there a difference for you in downloading and subscribing?
Wendy (59:46.452)
So as far as subscribing goes for podcasts, if you subscribe, it should automatically download it onto your device. And with YouTube, so there two different ways to monetize it, which is what we're trying to do because we love doing this and we'd like to make some money. That's all. We don't want to be millionaires. Yeah. Yeah. So go to YouTube. If you subscribe to YouTube, then we'll be able to just subscribe.
Gina (01:00:03.792)
But we users need to know how to help you to the best of our ability.
Wendy (01:00:14.152)
obviously watch us and comment, but if you subscribe, we need a certain number of YouTube subscribers to be able to put ads on, like YouTube will put ads on our videos. And then when you watch our videos, we'll get money. So we need subscribers to be able to monetize the videos that we're already putting up there. Okay? So if our listeners could help us out with that, that would be great. Thank you. Bye.
Kelli (01:00:38.2)
Bye.
Gina (01:00:39.472)
Bye.
