McBee Dynasty --Spices, Side Pieces & Smash-Ups

Wendy (00:01.006)
Welcome to We Wine Whenever. I'm Wendy. Today we have cousin Gina. Kelly's not with us. We're going to be recapping McBee Dynasty. We did a major recap last week and this one's going to be we're going to do episode by episode. So this one is season two, episode number seven. It's called Nashville Hot. The title's okay. I don't love the title. It was a good episode.

Gina (00:03.858)
I'm cousin Gina.

Gina (00:27.219)
But it was a good episode.

Wendy (00:29.9)
We start out with Cole is back from his baby moon and Steven announces that they are going to Nashville for the weekend and it's for business and they all have to go. It's a few weeks before Jesse's wedding and Cole has just promised Casey that he wasn't gonna be drinking as much anymore after the Ozarks trip. So it's gonna be a problem for their...

significant others at this point because you know they see what happens they know what happens when they go off to Nashville it's it's not good it's not good

Gina (01:05.807)
And I blame Steve, Jr.

Wendy (01:09.751)
You do?

Gina (01:10.868)
Yeah, it's like he has, I don't want to jump to the end with the talk with his mom, but it's like, you don't have other friends that you can go party with. You know, I saw his younger brother brought friends. You know what, Steve, bring a friend of yours and then you go out with your friend. You don't drag your brothers who are both in good relationship and once getting married or once having a baby into bars. That's bullshit.

Wendy (01:19.773)
Right.

Yep.

Wendy (01:30.339)
Yeah.

Wendy (01:37.686)
Yeah. So Stephen's like, well, they're going down there for business. There's a spice plant down there and they need to get some spices for the meats, which I listen, I get if they're going there for business, but then you go there for business and you come home. You don't have to go there for business and then party. But I think I did not. Did you?

Gina (01:54.439)
Did you look how far it was?

Yeah, I did, but I don't remember. But it wasn't close. I think Kansas City or something is closer. But they own that place. It sounds like they own it.

Wendy (02:01.16)
Yeah.

Wendy (02:08.705)
Yeah.

Wendy (02:12.202)
Yeah, that yes, they definitely own that place that they stay at in Nashville. Because even even Steve said, well, I mean, Steven, senior, the father said to Brooke, I know you love Nashville, and you can use the Nashville place. And then she tried to pick up the keys. And Galena was there and kind of put the kibosh on that. So I think that they definitely own that place. I don't know that they actually Airbnb it I think that they're using it a lot.

Gina (02:16.647)
Yeah. And I would bet it's an Airbnb.

Gina (02:41.159)
Well, the only reason I said that was when they all went in this episode, they were all saying how they hadn't been there in so long. I haven't been here in a year and this and that. And I'm thinking they're pretty smart business people. And the way the place was decorated led me to believe it's an Airbnb because it really had, okay, they may have done it for the TV show, but it looks to me like it could be an Airbnb.

Wendy (03:04.439)
Right.

Wendy (03:09.038)
actually think that's where Stephen Senior's been staying. I think he's been staying in Nashville. you know, and I think that that's the reason that they all went out there. mean, you know, Stephen Jr. said it was because of the spices and it was business, but I think it was because his plan was to bring his father back in and reunite him with the boys because they all said that they hadn't seen their father in months. And at first I thought that we were just, not seeing him on camera, but I think that they really...

Gina (03:14.246)
That's, yeah.

Wendy (03:34.956)
I think he really removed himself. think he was in probably that Nashville house. I mean, I don't know. We'll have to wait and see what else we find out.

Gina (03:40.241)
Yeah.

Gina (03:44.953)
Was he was he not filming just because he was trying to get the attention off of himself or did they want to film it differently to see if it could survive if he goes to jail?

Wendy (04:01.326)
I mean, I think it could be a combination of that and plus the toxicity between Masha and Galena. If he's around and Masha's around, then that's gonna be a problem, right?

Gina (04:15.326)
After the damage, you know, we'll talk about that, but they're very violent ladies, the two of them. The two Russian women are very violent. And I would have told my father, you know, keep us out of your crap because they're all getting involved and it's, it's an ugly scene, but I guess they're doing it for the TV show. Hence the reason last episode, the mother met with Galina.

Wendy (04:23.448)
They really are.

Wendy (04:33.238)
Yeah, yeah.

Wendy (04:44.706)
Yeah, and you know, I listened to their podcast and Tessa was on their last podcast. I don't know if you got a chance to listen to it. So I really like Tessa. know, Tessa's, she's like the fuel, she's like the fuel truck, but she's like the mom. She's like, and Steven, you know, Junior even said she's like a second mom to him because she's been with them for so long. But what we didn't see is what, and they thought we did see it, but it never aired. So she was in Nashville also.

Gina (04:51.663)
No, I didn't.

Love her.

Wendy (05:12.918)
She was in Nashville in the studio recording an album and the boys had given her that as a gift for her to go and record. Like she is a singer. Tessa, Tessa. Yes, so we see her in the one episode where she's singing with her, I think it's her brother. Yes, yes, so she's a singer and she's a songwriter. And it's always been her dream, but she's never really.

Gina (05:21.147)
Who was recorded?

Gina (05:25.179)
Can't see.

Gina (05:31.675)
That was a couple episodes ago.

Gina (05:37.118)
good for her.

Wendy (05:39.82)
she's never really followed it. And the boys encouraged her to follow her dream and they gave her this recording session as a gift. And she was in Nashville recording while they were there and they must have filmed it because they talked about how you'd see it on the season unless it's something that's gonna come, but we didn't see it while they were in Nashville. I'm hoping it's something that we see because I would really like to have Tessa get her flowers and

And Steven said like she could be a star in her own right. Like she could have her own show. So I'm here for that with for Tessa for sure.

Gina (06:10.916)
Yeah.

Gina (06:17.007)
like her personality. I like her relationship with the boys and I think she brings a lot to the show. I'm not so I mean, Galina she's good but I mean she's a one trick pony. You know, I don't think she's going to have much of a storyline. It's sad because in this episode she was sitting next to Stephen senior having you know at this dinner that they all had and my heart was breaking for her because she loves him.

Wendy (06:26.092)
I do too.

Wendy (06:33.677)
Yeah.

Wendy (06:47.22)
Yeah. Yeah.

Gina (06:47.397)
She truly loves him. But you know what? You know what? I'm saying this as a wife. Bitch, you broke up my marriage. You deserve what you get. Yep, exactly.

Wendy (06:56.302)
You lose them like you get them. You lose them like you get them, right? So Cole, before they go on the trip to Nashville, he's saying that it's to be Casey's maternity photo shoot. So he's gonna have to ask for permission to go, because he's gonna be missing that. Steve... No, Steven calls up Casey and asks for permission. And she kind of grants him permission. She gives him two things he has to do. No...

Gina (07:13.262)
I would not have been okay with that.

Wendy (07:25.898)
women at the house and that he's supposed to call her at the end of the night when he gets home before he goes to bed. That's all she asks for. Yep. Steven said this is the longest he's been broken up from Kayla since they started dating, which listen, she's not good for him. So I'm good for that, right?

Gina (07:33.114)
Fail, fail.

Gina (07:45.253)
Did you see the preview for next week? She's back. It didn't run at the end of this episode. It ran in a commercial and they showed them hooking up or, know, whatever, getting together again. But no, she's not right for him. And unless you make that, that break, that clean break, they're, they're not going to, you know, they're, they're an easy, you know, roll in the hay.

Wendy (07:47.627)
yeah, I did see the preview. Yeah.

Wendy (07:55.768)
Yeah.

Wendy (08:01.73)
Mm-hmm.

Wendy (08:13.518)
Yeah, they are. I mean, you see Steven in his place. He's going around putting away all the pictures of the two of them, which is a good start. Like, you don't want to have it all over your place, right?

Gina (08:23.587)
think he loves her. I don't think he truly loves her.

Wendy (08:25.358)
Well, listen, he's always said family comes first and his family does not like her. So that relationship is never going to work. Regardless of how he feels for her or not, it's never going to work. He's already made that known.

Gina (08:42.285)
bet she went into that relationship when she got in meeting the family acting like her shit doesn't stink because Ali what are the two sister laws out Ali and Casey are the nicest girls I really don't think that they would freeze her out I think it would not any she's from Dallas it's not like she's from San Francisco or Los Angeles or New York you know she's she's a country girl

Wendy (08:49.357)
Yeah.

Wendy (08:54.638)
Kelly and Casey.

Wendy (09:01.793)
No, no.

Gina (09:11.552)
And I think Cal didn't try hard enough.

Wendy (09:14.572)
Yeah, no, I think that's probably right. So Allie calls Jessie when they're on their way to Nashville and says that Casey's really upset with Cole. Stephen is maintaining that it's a work trip. Then we see we Christie talking to Casey and Allie. And, you know, she's upset about this, you know, business trip or Nashville party. And listen, I love that Christie went and sat down with Casey and Allie and voiced her opinion.

Gina (09:16.11)
Yeah.

Gina (09:28.399)
Wendy (09:44.044)
because she is the matriarch of this family. She's...

Gina (09:47.606)
and she doesn't want her sons turning into their father.

Wendy (09:50.464)
Right, right.

Gina (09:52.595)
And she is also again because of Steve legal status. She may need to step in and take over, you know, as the elder of the show, which I'm fine with. I don't like Steve senior. He doesn't do anything for me. He's kind of smart. You know, what's that word? Smarmy scummy, you know, it's like.

Wendy (10:01.196)
Mm-hmm.

Wendy (10:11.488)
Yeah, yeah. mean, Christie says it, Stephen has said it, like Cole is the most like his dad. He acts the most like his dad. And so of course, know, Casey's going to be a little bit worried. You know, she, and Casey's been with him for 10 years, so she would know. Like she knows, yes, and she's having his baby.

Gina (10:29.036)
And he's having his baby!

And Allie and Jesse too have been together since high school.

Wendy (10:36.428)
Yeah, I mean they've been together for a long time as well.

Gina (10:39.458)
And I love that the mother loves these ladies, loves the girls that her sons are in relationships with because we're married, we know, your mother-in-law can make or break a relationship. I was blessed I had a great mother-in-law, but I've seen people that didn't and it can bring nightmares, daily nightmares.

Wendy (10:44.045)
Mm-hmm.

Wendy (10:57.324)
Yeah, I have a great mother-in-law too. Yeah.

Wendy (11:06.274)
No, I agree with that. So Casey even says, I don't want to be married to a Steve McBee. And there better not be any reels on Instagram with girls at the house. Braden and Steven are the only two that are single right now, the youngest brother. So Steve brings up to Jesse that it's two weeks before your wedding and you still haven't signed the prenup. So Cole and Steven tell Jesse if he doesn't get a prenup, then he's going to have to take his name off the business.

Gina (11:07.821)
Yeah.

Wendy (11:35.788)
You know, it's too big of a risk. Listen, I understand what they're saying, but when you hear Jesse, you know, you could see he's very uncomfortable with this. He doesn't want to have the conversation. And I get it because, you know, that's a hard conversation to have with somebody. I think that they're right in bringing it up. think that, you know, preen up is not a bad thing. I don't think it's a bad thing for her either.

Gina (12:00.962)
think anybody should get married without a prenup. You have no idea what's going to happen 10, 20 years down the road. I, but I think in his case, he should approach it as have the prenup written that the business, you know, you don't have to say it's all or nothing. You could say anything related to the McBee dynasty, you know, businesses is, you know, I mean, she might be entitled to some of it, but

Wendy (12:07.447)
Right.

Wendy (12:20.375)
Right.

Gina (12:30.678)
that can be excluded and just things not included like your home, your bank account, know, stuff like that. They're all personal assets.

Wendy (12:37.738)
Right, right, right, right. Listen, and we don't know what's even gonna happen with the business, right? Like, does she even know that there's an FBI investigation? Probably not, right?

Gina (12:53.205)
I think at this point everybody would know because they leaked it on the show, know, so that timeline.

Wendy (13:01.856)
I would hope so. I mean, I would hope so. I would hope so.

Gina (13:03.507)
I do too.

They should have had a family meeting as soon as that happened. I mean, that's a scary thing to have hanging over your head. You know, he could have get 30 years jail.

Wendy (13:10.028)
Yeah.

definitely, definitely.

I know, I know. So it's Casey's baby shower also while they're gone and Jesse missed it and Steve, no, Cole missed it because it's Casey's baby shower. Cole, yeah, yeah, Cole. No, no, was the baby shower. Cole missed it.

Gina (13:24.864)
And Jesse missed it.

Gina (13:33.705)
the baby shower. I'm thinking bridal shower.

Gina (13:40.246)
So he missed that and the photo shoot. No way. I would not have been okay with that. She is an angel and you should be damn lucky that she's marrying your sorry ass.

Wendy (13:42.848)
Yes. Yes.

Wendy (13:53.506)
Yep. So I like that we got to see Steve's mom there and Christie has not seen her since they broke up. I thought it was very interesting, especially because, you know, she was kind of painted out to be a bit of a monster. The fact that she threw her son out when he was 12 years old and

Gina (14:02.429)
I know.

Gina (14:17.408)
bet you there's more to that story.

Wendy (14:19.444)
I know, I mean, we got it from Galena. So maybe there is more to that story. Maybe there is more to that story. But, you know, they hugged and, you know, Steve's mom was crying and you could see Christy was emotional too because, you know, that was her mother-in-law for however many years they were married. You know? Then on the...

Gina (14:22.016)
Yeah.

Gina (14:38.229)
Right.

And weren't they together like a long time before they got married too? Yeah.

Wendy (14:44.758)
Yeah, I think so. Yeah, yeah. Then at the same time back in Nashville, the boys are meeting up with their dad for the first time in several months and they're all going out to dinner. And then we find out that Galina is in Nashville also because she was there for the spices, which makes sense because she's a part of the business. yeah.

Gina (15:04.755)
And so is Masha and was Brooke there too. mean, you know, I mean, it's ridiculous. And that whole business meeting was bullshit. First off, you don't sell spices to compliment your meat. You might sell a sauce, but

Wendy (15:09.323)
I know, right?

Gina (15:26.25)
like sprinkle spices for me? It just doesn't seem to be a natural progression.

Wendy (15:31.758)
I know, they have a lot of businesses. So this may be just another branch out that they're doing, know? Spices and sauces, who knows? The dinner was supposed to be a family dinner, but Stephen Jr. invited Galina to the dinner. So, you know.

Gina (15:38.507)
Yeah.

Gina (15:47.999)
and did not tell her that his father was going to be there.

Wendy (15:51.97)
Well, I think she had to know that. I mean...

Gina (15:55.37)
Well, storyline was that he did not tell her that he was going to be there.

Wendy (16:00.014)
Right. Steven says he needs Galina to help him get through this FBI investigation. Steven Jr. says this. Because I wouldn't either. I wouldn't either. And I don't know if you saw any of the comments on our clips. Everyone agrees with me that Galina is 100 % involved in this whole thing. the reason that they're where they are is because of Galina.

Gina (16:09.995)
I would trust her.

Wendy (16:29.884)
Gina (16:30.29)
You know what, when something bad like that happens, the family needs to circle the wagons and Galena is not family. And yeah, I think, you know, all right, you're making a TV show, blah, blah, blah, blah. But I would have gotten rid of her a long time ago. Everybody is replaceable. Everyone. But as a CFO, you know, in big companies, I was, I worked for a fortune, a fortune 10 company. worked for.

Wendy (16:37.026)
No, she's not. She's really not.

Wendy (16:50.115)
Yeah.

Gina (16:59.518)
one of the biggest companies in the world. And we used to force our financial people had to take vacations. You couldn't just take it days. You had to take a week at a time because that gave us the opportunity to go in and do like forensic accounting on what you're doing. It was all up and up. You know, you don't lie to anybody. Everybody knows about it, but you have to do that.

Wendy (17:26.475)
Right, right.

Gina (17:28.723)
because you can't trust anyone. Everyone's work has to be checked and double checked in their absence.

Wendy (17:35.438)
Yeah, 100%. And I don't know why they don't just do that. know, hire an outside auditing firm, like do that and find out what's going on. And you know, to give all this control to one person to me is crazy, especially con...

Gina (17:37.481)
Now.

Gina (17:42.219)
Mm-hmm.

Gina (17:51.989)
To the person that broke up your parents' marriage, she's a cheater. You have to worry about the trust level.

Wendy (17:54.592)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wendy (18:01.258)
Right. So it's it happens to be Jesse's birthday that day. Steve says he's wrapping up his projects in Nashville and Galena says that she's moving on. I don't really think that she is. In the meantime, Masha is 10.

Gina (18:17.086)
Did you see? It looked like she was going to cry through that whole dinner.

Wendy (18:20.086)
Yeah. In the meantime, Masha is texting Steve like frantically while he's sitting at the table. So he gets up and goes to the bathroom and you can literally hear him yelling at her like.

Gina (18:34.056)
You could hear both of them. They had it all on the subtitle.

Wendy (18:36.852)
Yeah, I mean, that was crazy. He's like, respect my time with my sons. And the interesting thing is, he was yelling at his son about Kayla. She won't even let you answer the phone when you're after five. You can't run a business and be that way. And yet he's got this woman, Masha, who is crazy. mean, literally crazy, right?

Gina (19:04.964)
yeah, and I don't doubt for one second that she wasn't the one that bashed in his car window.

Wendy (19:10.254)
And the suns.

Gina (19:11.925)
and bashed in the son's window to take the suspicion off of her. Okay, listen, I'm on the other end. I'm the wife. And if my husband did that to me, I'd take that golf club. Everything I could find that that bitch owned would be smashed as well as him. There's two people involved in that.

Wendy (19:34.848)
Listen, I feel first of all, that was crazy that they come out and find their windows smashed like that. I'm sure that there is a ring camera on that house in Nashville and I'm sure that there is footage.

Gina (19:47.914)
Or cameras inside those cars. They have, they have, my brother's got one. It records 24 seven, everything around the car.

Wendy (19:51.128)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Wendy (19:57.986)
Yeah. So after dinner, they all go out and they get on this party bus. And then we hear a little bit more about Jesse and Allie that they met in high school and they've been together ever since. Jesse said all his dad and brothers can talk about is the wedding and the prenup. And he's starting to freak out. And I don't blame him. I mean, I would be freaking out too. First of all, getting married is nerve wracking to begin with, right? We all know that. Right.

Gina (20:23.335)
and then you have the cameras in your face and your father might go to jail. He has a lot to be worried about.

Wendy (20:28.014)
He's got a lot to be worried about.

Gina (20:32.244)
But he's got a great woman. And she's no slouch. She's an advanced practice nurse. Yeah. They do really, really well. They do really well. And she's a sweetheart.

Wendy (20:39.35)
Nurse practitioner. Yeah, nurse practitioner. Absolutely. Yeah.

Wendy (20:49.44)
Yeah, she really is. So Stephen Jr. says it's the first time he's been to Nashville as a single guy. And so whatever happens, happens, which is fine. That's fine for him, right? The next day.

Gina (20:59.549)
Yeah, bring to find some friends, find some other friends though, leave your brothers out of it.

Wendy (21:06.946)
The next day we see that it's the day of Casey's maternity photo shoot and she's getting her makeup done and you know, they're talking about how Cole was supposed to be there. But it was nice that Allie was there to support her. I liked that she was there.

Gina (21:18.437)
I know, I know. But didn't Casey look, didn't she look beautiful? Gorgeous.

Wendy (21:23.83)
Yeah, she's a beautiful girl. She really is a beautiful girl. Yeah. And then back in Nashville, we see the next morning, Steven Jr. wakes up and he sees ladies boots there and he's like, no. So he starts knocking on doors to see like whose boots these are. But thank goodness the girl was up in Braden's room. So he was single, so it was okay. Like it was okay. Yes, that's the youngest.

Gina (21:40.019)
Yeah.

Gina (21:46.866)
Then that's the baby brother. But who are all those people sleeping there? Brother must have brought a lot of friends because I saw them at the dinner too. There were like four or five extra guys there. How many bedrooms does that place have?

Wendy (21:59.99)
Yeah, I don't know because they did. I remember when Steve walked in, Stephen walked in, he said table for 11. So there was 11 people at that dinner. So yeah, I know that Jake was there and we've seen Jake quite a bit. And I think Jake's windows got smashed in also. It was three vehicles that got their windows smashed. No, it was three.

Gina (22:07.56)
Mm-hmm.

Gina (22:18.242)
I thought it was only two. thought it was Casey and the father.

Wendy (22:23.624)
I think it was Jake's also. think it was Jake's also. Cole got too, he got too drunk and when he came home, he went to sleep without calling Casey. And it does happen, but that was one of the two things that she asked for. So Cole FaceTimes with Casey in the middle of her photo shoot and he apologized for not calling her and you know, he tells her she looks amazing.

Gina (22:35.44)
happens.

Gina (22:39.688)
Mm-hmm.

Wendy (22:50.19)
Steven Sr. is at the house with the boys and the boys show him a photo of Masha on Instagram in downtown. He's like, like acting like he didn't know she was there. He knew she was there. Come on.

Gina (23:05.042)
Didn't she tell him that? no, he said to her, don't come to Nashville.

Wendy (23:10.092)
Right. She was already there. He had to know she was there. I mean, come on.

Gina (23:12.689)
Yeah, they probably drove up to get she's probably up there because like you said, he's probably living at that house. Yeah.

Wendy (23:19.512)
That's my guess. They go out and the windows are all busted in the pickup truck. Yeah, it was Jake's, Stephen's seniors, and Stephen juniors. I wrote it down. Obviously, they think Masha did it. Because they didn't even take anything out of the truck. They just broke the windows. You don't just break windows for no reason, unless you're being vengeful. But then all of a sudden,

Gina (23:46.438)
And how did somebody else not walk past the car and steal something?

Wendy (23:50.188)
Right, but as they're doing this, all of sudden, Masha walks in. I mean, come on. And you hear her upstairs yelling with Steve, he's like, you flew down here? And she's like, I don't care. She said, she's down here for a spice meeting, meeting Galina. She's all mad that Galina's down here.

Gina (24:12.293)
And she was accusing him of sleeping with and letting her sleep at the house with him. And I bet you Galina would have, especially to get back at Masha.

Wendy (24:16.575)
Right. Right.

Wendy (24:23.696)
she would have. Yeah.

Gina (24:26.405)
You know, I just say, Dan, you need to walk away from these Russian ladies. They are violent. The two of them. You got to get yourself somebody that's a little chilled out. Or how about don't date anybody? Play the field because you do. He doesn't want a committed relationship. It's very obvious. And he's been married for so long. Don't forget that divorce only happened, what, two years at the most.

Wendy (24:36.652)
Mm-hmm.

Wendy (24:44.205)
Right.

Wendy (24:52.854)
Yeah, wouldn't I say it was 21? I think I said that he was divorced. 21. But still, I mean, he'd been married for so many years and he's made it perfectly clear that he does not want to be in a relationship, then he should not be in a relationship. But I think that he is honestly, I think he's the classic narcissist. I think that he loved bombs these women and he feeds off of the fact that they just are obsessed with him. He feeds off it.

Gina (24:56.006)
okay, that's a little longer than I thought. Yeah.

Gina (25:02.151)
Mm-hmm.

Gina (25:20.475)
He loves it. Look at the photos. I don't think he's a good looking man. He's not my type. But look at the photos of him when he got married and you know, when he was younger, he's much better looking now than he was. So now he's, you know, he's buff. He's got women paying attention. Go for it, dude. You know what? You've already destroyed your marriage to a beautiful, sweet woman. So just play the field. You don't have to be committed to anyone.

Wendy (25:21.367)
Yeah, he does.

Wendy (25:46.082)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I.

I agree. I totally agree. We see that the boys get back home at 6.30 in the morning. So they must have driven all night. I don't know when they left or how that worked.

Gina (26:03.343)
No, thought they said, Steve Sr. said, you guys were partying till six in the morning. I heard you guys partying till six in the morning.

Wendy (26:12.242)
No, that's when, that's I, cause it was on the bottom of the screen when they pulled up at the house. It said 6.30 AM when they got back home. Then we see Steven Jr. and his mom, Christie go for coffee. And he said, originally it wasn't supposed to be a guy's trip. It was supposed to be a work trip, but we all knew differently. Christie said, it's, you know, it's horrible timing. Like you need to look at that now. Like you're single and your brothers are not. You know, the wedding.

Gina (26:20.102)
Okay.

Gina (26:39.556)
Now I rewatched that scene two or three times because I didn't understand it with the mother walking out and him blowing up. It was, she was basically telling him in other words, go find some other friends. Your brothers are in committed relationships and they shouldn't be going to Nashville with you. And he's acting like, okay, I could never go to Nashville again and blah, blah, blah. You know, it's like.

No, nobody's saying that. Just don't drag your brothers into the gutter with you. This is the first time Steve said that he's been single for since Cala and that's got to be three or four years. And I don't buy it because I don't think they were together that whole time. I think that was, one of those on-off relationships.

Wendy (27:13.089)
Yeah.

Wendy (27:21.783)
Right, right.

Wendy (27:29.592)
Well, I think he said that. I think he said that they've broken up and been like the, and the family kind of recognizes that too. They've been on again, off again, on again, off again. But she's really saying that he needs to be the big brother and set the example because obviously the father's not going to set the example. And he, don't remember, he did say something to her that was kind of snotty and she's like, don't speak to me that way. The reason I think she left, right.

Gina (27:31.846)
Yeah.

Gina (27:55.918)
That's what I went back to watch,

Wendy (27:58.158)
The reason I think that she left is she did not like his tone. She's still his mother. you know, you need to respect me. You don't speak to me that way. I am your mother. And if I say this, then that's how it is. You're not going to talk to me like I'm one of your buddies or you're in a business meeting. I'm your mother. And she wasn't...

Gina (28:17.295)
So going back and rewatching that, I felt that there were some underlying issues we didn't know about. I think something else is going on there. Maybe it's just the pressure of the FBI thing. But he was upset because she's telling him he can never go out again. And she never said that.

Wendy (28:26.04)
Yeah.

Wendy (28:32.022)
It could be. It could be.

Wendy (28:40.33)
No, she never said that. She never said that.

Gina (28:41.989)
And she was just telling him, you know, pretty much leave your brothers out of it. And he was acting like a five-year-old, finally, I'll never go back to Nashville again.

Wendy (28:54.08)
Right, right.

Gina (28:55.811)
Yeah, it's like, know, grow up. You're supposed to be running this company and he's the oldest brother, right? Yeah, Steve's the oldest brother. How old is he?

Wendy (29:02.743)
Yes.

I think now he's 32 in real time. think this, I think then he was maybe 31 or 30. Yeah, that's all she's saying. That's it. then she gets up and she leaves and then he calls up Cole and says, listen, mom just walked out. And he's like, why? And he said she was not happy about the Nashville trip. We all knew that. She made that perfectly clear even before you went.

Gina (29:07.831)
Okay.

Gina (29:12.613)
All right. All she's telling him is to grow up.

Wendy (29:35.672)
She made that clear. And while he's sitting there, that's when he gets the text from, from Cala. Yeah. So we'll have to wait and see what happens next week with that. But some interesting stuff popped up on Instagram. This weekend was Alexis Bellino's bridal shower.

Gina (29:41.166)
How?

Gina (29:52.867)
and who was standing right next to her in the photo?

Wendy (29:56.44)
So in that photo, there was Tamra, there was Joe, there was Galena from McBee dynasty, and there was Alexis, right? And I said to cousin Gina, like, how do they know each other? And obviously I Googled it. So Alexis and Galena share a publicist and they met, I guess, a few years back.

Gina (30:08.41)
right.

Wendy (30:21.222)
And they got really close when Galena was in Southern California. I don't know why she was in Southern California because that's not where, I mean, that's none of the places we've heard of.

Gina (30:31.108)
And I also saw a photo of Galena with Julia, Martina's wife. Now, they are both Russian, but it doesn't mean that just because you're Russian that you know all the other Russians in the country. Because Julia's in Florida and she's in Missouri, but she did live in Florida, remember? Yeah.

Wendy (30:38.401)
Mm-hmm.

Wendy (30:47.502)
No Right

Wendy (30:54.466)
She did live in Florida, yes she did. And it could just be the Bravo thing, you know? Like she said, they...

Gina (31:00.526)
think it's all just the Bravo thing, even with the Alexis Bellino. Like we know they share a publicist that was out there, but it's just, you know, Bravo has these parties and everybody gets invited. It's, it's just like how summer house and Southern charm got together. Now they're all best buddies.

Wendy (31:09.728)
Right, right.

Wendy (31:17.347)
Yeah.

Wendy (31:24.503)
Yeah.

I think a lot of friendships are like born at BravoCon, at the up fronts where they do things together, like they all get together, all the different shows from Bravo. I think that's where these people form these friendships because they're kind of living in a similar world, doing a similar thing for the same company. So yeah, I guess it does make sense, right?

Gina (31:49.389)
I love crossovers. have a crossover coming up next season. Salt Lake City goes on below deck again. But the below, wait, they got Daisy and who's the chef? Ben. I think that's the crew. It's Captain Cutie, Daisy and Ben. You know what I did all day today or yesterday?

Wendy (31:57.459)
I know, with Captain Jason.

Wendy (32:06.199)
I know.

Wendy (32:11.224)
Jason. Captain Cutie. What?

Gina (32:16.971)
I watched, you know, Colin, the old engineer from...

Wendy (32:20.736)
Yes, yes.

Gina (32:22.433)
He has a YouTube channel called

Harley revival.

Wendy (32:28.91)
What is that?

Gina (32:30.455)
Hard lay revival is a catamaran that he bought.

Wendy (32:35.222)
that's the name of his catamaran.

Gina (32:36.873)
He bought a hurricane destroyed catamaran and they salvaged it and it's a beautiful boat and him and his crew sailed the South Pacific and make YouTube. And he said that he's able to, you know, support himself off of that. Now he was going to use it to do surfing charters. He said, but the money in YouTube was so good. He didn't have to.

Wendy (33:03.0)
Good for him. Good for him.

Gina (33:04.288)
Yeah, it's Parley, P-A-R-L-A-Y Revival or Sailing Parley Revival.

Wendy (33:13.208)
Good for him, I always liked him.

Gina (33:14.997)
Yeah, me too.

Wendy (33:16.664)
So another crossover thing is with OC, Kelly and I recapped it yesterday, but the podcast is going to drop this week. we had mentioned about when they were down in New Orleans, the last time Tamara was down there was when she was down there with Bronwyn and Teddy. And I was like, Bronwyn? Like, I didn't really. From OC, from OC.

Gina (33:42.324)
Which Bronwyn? From Salt Lake or from the one they all hate it?

Wendy (33:46.806)
So I, well, that's what I thought. was like, I didn't even think that Bronwyn got along with Tamar when they were on the OC. So I had looked it up to see like what their connection was. And apparently Bronwyn was a guest host for Teddy on the podcast while Teddy was on a spring break. So I didn't, I didn't realize that. So those three, guess became friends and were hanging out together in New Orleans for Superbowl. Just

you know, four weeks before her diagnosis.

Gina (34:18.518)
Well guess who went to Portugal with Bronwyn?

Wendy (34:21.602)
Who? You did?

Gina (34:22.858)
I am. Well, we went separately, but it was the weirdest thing. I went to Portugal. Wait, I went somewhere else too. Traveling around, and Bronwyn is posting. We were traveling Portugal to the same places. So I messaged her, just like, and she messaged me back. We were just like, and I wasn't like, we should hook up or anything. was just saying.

Wendy (34:30.464)
huh.

Wendy (34:40.75)
You did? She did?

Gina (34:48.47)
yeah, I just left Lisbon and I went here and if you're going up this way, you gotta go see the Chapel of the Bones. So we started PMing because we both went from Lisbon up to Porto. So for the whole vacation, we were messaging each other. Never heard from her again and I never messaged her either. I was sending copies to my girlfriend, she was flipping out. She was like, I can't believe I got a new best friend, Bronwyn.

Wendy (35:00.189)
that's so funny.

Wendy (35:05.143)
very interesting.

Wendy (35:16.718)
How many years ago was that?

Gina (35:19.348)
Last year, year before. Yeah. She was off the show and she was with her girlfriend. Yeah. We got there at the same time we landed in Lisbon, because I just, you know, look at that IG and we landed like the same day. And then we just were traveling. We did the, we had the exact, I guess a lot of people do. You landed Lisbon and then you go up, you know, this way.

Wendy (35:21.147)
that's so funny. That's a-

Mm-hmm. Very interesting.

Gina (35:47.955)
I almost ran into her at Nazadeh where they have the hundred foot waves.

Wendy (35:52.366)
so who knew the Bravo universe is that big? Like it expands all over. Well, that's great. We're just gonna have to wait and see what happens next week on McBee Dynasty, but I really do love this show. I am too, I am too. I'm glad you told me and I'm glad I followed up with it. Next week, hopefully we'll have Kelly on with us as well and get her take on it.

Gina (35:54.389)
Yeah.

Gina (36:00.234)
Yeah.
