0:00This is Hannah Berner, the co-host of Giggly Squad. We could all just stay in bed scrolling through other people's vacations forever, but where is the fun in that? The best memories come from stepping outside of your little bubble and being open to the unexpected. And what better way to be open to the unexpected than finally booking that trip to Europe? You guys know I'm a Delta girly. Every time I go, I get my Delta headphones. And when I fly to Europe, Delta treats me like a queen and they'll treat you too. I was always a little nervous about navigating a foreign country, but then I realized it's so important to grow and see different cultures and to put yourself in different situations, and Delta held my hand the whole time.

0:42Being away just helps you put life into perspective, and your little worries are not so bad. Travel really is the best way to discover something new about yourself and grow from the experience. Step outside your comfort zone this summer, get some Delta headphones, and fly with Delta Airlines.

2:40Ronnie Karam: Well, hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens. I'm Ronnie and that's Ben over there. Hello, Ben. Hi. What's going on? I'm just sad for Jesse, you know. Jesse cried, you guys. It's McBee Dynasty and my boys are crying. He's just a boy. You know how boys are. They get upset sometimes. We got to be there for them. Oh, Jesse never cries. I've never seen Jesse cry. Why don't you cry? Yeah, it's McBee Dynasty Day, everybody. Welcome to the show. So next Monday, we have crappy hour at 530 Pacific time. Join us for that. That's our live chat with you guys about Bravo News and Gaza. And Amazon Live every other Monday at 4 p.m.

3:30Ronnie Karam: over on Amazon. Okay. Check our social Instagram, that is, to get the link day of the episode. Okay. So today, here we are with some McBee Dynasty. Season 2, Episode 8. panic on the combine. More like panic in my brain that this season is still going. How is this season longer than Next Gen New York City? How does this show get more episodes than Next Gen New York City? Next Gen New York City was so good. And then this show is like eight episodes, no season finale in sight. I don't understand it. It's not fair. Well, last season it was 10 episodes, so maybe they're going to stick with their tan.

4:10Ronnie Karam: This show is amazing, and I need to know what happens. Fine. On the show. Sorry, I got emotional. I know that I never get emotional. I'm like the Jesse McBee of this podcast. You guys, I've never seen Ben cry. Like I just saw him cry right now. Ben's never seen me cry. For the first time. What a weird couple. Yeah. What, you mean Jesse and Allie? They're just such an odd couple. It's like they're just like, you know, I don't know. They seem just weird together. But I read today that she, so they end up having a baby. Spoiler alert. And the due date, so it looks like she was pregnant three months before they got married.

4:51Ronnie Karam: So she's probably pregnant right now. And that's heightening all of this with him freaking out. And they're not saying it, but I think he's like, oh, my God, I'm a dad. I'm going to be a dad. I'm going to have a I think there's a lot more going on. And so him being nervous about it, of course, is going to upset her more because she's like, hi there. I'm having our baby. You're freaking out. So, you know, there's all this stuff going on. I want to know why it wasn't on the show that she was pregnant. That's weird. Why are you hiding things, McBee Dynasty? Why? Well, maybe that's going to come out like the baby itself.

5:26Maybe in the next episode or the season finale, that'll be the big twist. I'm pregnant. So who knows? Who knows? All sorts of crazy things happen in that city house of theirs. But last we saw in the McBean dynasty, the boys took one of their fame infamous trips to Nashville. They sure do know how to find trouble. And then we see them all there partying at a bar.

5:50Ronnie Karam: And while bar goers are going, USA, USA, USA to anybody who might have been lost and thought they were in a different country. I love when people shout that. Can we all just have a country check? Where are we? God, I've had a lot of drinks. Are we in France right now? We're in the USA, you idiot. You were so something, boys. We're back home the girls while they were waiting with their mam's crashed. And then we see all the girls sitting there on the couch in Jesse's house with the blue walls. And Casey is like, Cole, I'm so sick of setting boundaries and you ignoring them and such. but Cole wasn't the only one catching hell about the trip hooky Christy drinking 9 ,000 calories in one latte thing so Christy's there with her gigantic cream drink whatever the fuck that I mean that's been bothering me all week that Christy is that thin with whatever she's drinking because that just looks like me I just I want it it triggers my binge it triggers my binge my binge it opens up my dribble door so So she's like, the timing of the trip was not good.

7:06It's like, what am I supposed to do? Stay alone at my house all day, every day? Hey, stupid mother. You're the most pessimistic person I've ever heard about Nashville trips.

7:14Ronnie Karam: I smell trouble. And Steven has been trying to move on from Cala for reals this time. But here's the kicker. I'm still thinking about Cala. And pretty boy finally opened up that he's nervous about getting married. As boys are. They're just boys. We see Jesse like, I'm scared about it. We see Jake going, are you nervous about getting married? And Jesse going, yeah. Look at that opening up he just did. It's like a floodgate over there. Wow, what a twist. Someone is nervous ahead of their wedding day. Let's build an entire episode off of this, this thing that's never happened in humankind. mind well let's let's start this story off in gallatin missouri otherwise known as not good enough to be gelatin missouri so cole is driving this episode is really big on trying to make us believe that these boys go drive the combines every day and i just don't believe it they look extremely confused in the combines yeah they really they really do so they're driving along in this big old thing.

8:21But they stopped to talk to Jake, the farmhand, and Jesse. And so Cole's like, well, I'm hoping for about 45 bushels this year. I mean, some beans were balanced, and so it's hard to, so it's a little dry out. I don't know. So Jake's like, we'll keep on running. So now Jesse hops in the combine, and it's time for him to go combining. Yeah.

8:42Ronnie Karam: And Cole's like, well, corn harvest is underway, but we also need to get ready for soybean harvest, so I need to get these combines cutting as fast as possible. I think it's going to be the best soybean crop I've ever grown. It's going to be$900 a bushel. It's going to be$1 ,000 a bushel. I don't know. It could be$5 million a bushel. I don't know. I'm going to save this family. You just watch. You just watch. You just watch. Pretty boy does nothing but nothing. Sorry. Sorry. I just ran over a VW book. Thank God those things are small. Get out of the road, hippie. so then uh meanwhile steven goes and picks up his mom christy in his truck and he's like uh he gets in he's like sorry i'm just gonna take some day quill hold on one second which i was like are you allowed to take day quill and drive i mean i guess it's the one that keeps you alert but like there's just something funny about like i don't know why him's announcing he's gonna take some dick while just he starts driving and then um he's like you know not to make excuses for anything but the other day at the coffee shop i just wasn't feeling too hot okay so i've been working out a lot and i don't feel hot and so she's like oh that's okay and we see him arguing about um you know we see a flashback to when she was telling him it was a bad time to go to nashville and um you know christy's basically saying uh like steven's mood is what caused the breakup with calla yeah and he's like well obviously when things are good it makes you think the relationship is good so maybe i should stay you know because me and calla we've we have had some good times mostly talking about what hillbilly fucks my brothers are and that's been fun I know you know but these past three years have really taken a toll on you I mean look at you one of your eyes is closed more than the other one now you're turning into a carom I think you need to give yourself a chance to meet another girl because someone's going to make her happy but that person is not you that person is some kind of a gallery owner or something in Dallas have you seen the social media stuff she's been doing for this gallery in Dallas I've been keeping up with Calla's social media?

10:42Have I been actively pausing anything happening in my life to go see what is Kel up to? The answer is no, I have not. What do you want to know? I'm going to tell you. And I'm going to go look right now, of course.

10:55Ronnie Karam: I don't know if she's dating somebody with a gallery or what. She's somehow hooked up with this gallery now. She's working at this gallery and she's doing the social for the gallery and she's like, wow, look at this gallery. This gallery is my favorite gallery to go to for art in the Dallas area. And then they show her with some other blonde girl. And she's like, do you know anything about this artist, Scrooge McDuck? And she's like, Scrooge McDuck is like one of my favorite artists. The way they mix the glamour in with like the artist, artist, artistness of the piece is really something. And the girl's like, yeah, I really love art.

11:37Ronnie Karam: She's like, yeah, me too. I'm so into art. Come to this art gallery to see some art. Kala is the person who buys the whale art. She's the one who you're always like, who buys these wretched paintings? It's Kala. She's like, it's beautiful. Yeah. So she's like, please don't get back with Kala. I hate her. So they drive by Masha and Steven goes well there's Russian number two mama and she's like that's Masha I've never seen her before gosh I've pictured her with a sledgehammer in her hand or something never seen her before but haven't you seen Masha before in the mirror and by looking at Galina you're all from the DNA goop like the same goop of DNA like come on you've seen her what if it turned out that Christy was really the one kidnapping chickens and sledgehammering the cars.

12:36Ronnie Karam: I would love that. That would be great. That would be great. Because they're all Targaryens, and they're all crazy. But every time they show up on camera, they all look the same, so you can't really tell who's who. Christy's been getting away with it this whole time. So now we go to Jesse and Allie's farmhouse, and Casey is sitting in the kitchen while Allie is trying to make some sort of food. And Casey's like, being one of the girls in this family of boys can be tough. So I'm really happy Allie and I have each other's backs. Yes. Allie and Casey, they have each other's backs. That way they can finally let out all that charisma they've been holding up on the inside.

13:17Ronnie Karam: I was going to say, whenever these two come on screen together, I'm like, wait a minute. Hold it back. Close the gates because charisma is about to start banging through here. Charisma is about to fill our lives. Are we watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Because I could swear that charisma carpenter is on screen. right now what is happening hey ali that's half a discussion i can't believe y 'all have been together since you were 16 that's a long time and ali's like yeah we were babies i was a bit of like a cougar i'll admit it but at least i waited till he could drive what kept what helped keep us on a good foot is that we were best friends before we were in a relationship and i think that helps because you know we're high school sweethearts and like we were babies when we met but we've been through so much in life together we've grown so much together i've done so many cross countries we've been through so much together for instance i did a triathlon once um he harvested some soybeans once um we went to marshall's once and bought like a little sign that said wine served here things like that it's been through a lot well i think there's a preconceived notion that high school sweethearts end up in divorce and don't make it but i think we're gonna break that cycle.

14:41How many years did it take for him to propose to you again? Just going to ask this one. No. How many years do you give them?

14:50Ronnie Karam: I'm going to give them actually a long time. I'm going to give them 12 years. Yeah. Okay. My feeling is this. My experience is that if you've been wanting to be, if you've been waiting for the question to be popped for like more than two years probably if you've been or i should say if you've been waiting for like five or six years it's it's gonna it's not gonna go well i'm just saying this from my experience with people i've known where this has happened where you're like you're really just like like being like are you gonna pop the question you're gonna pop the question and then finally he's like okay i'll pop the question it's like it usually does not end so well and so i kind of get the sense that that's what happened with these to, right?

15:29Because she makes jokes about that, like, well, it finally popped the question. Or am I misreading their backstory?

15:36Ronnie Karam: Well, yeah, it took a while, but they're also raised by this monster, and they're all not supportive of each other because they think that their dad wouldn't like them getting married. So it's like they feel guilty getting married. It's weird. He's like, oh, God, I can't believe I'm doing this to my family. And then his family's like, well, you're going to have her sign a prenup, right? Yeah, because if you don't, she can't be part, you know, you can't be part of the business no more. So they're stressing him, you know? And they're all telling him, like, your marriage is going to end. What's the point?

16:02Ronnie Karam: Marriage sucks. Because that's what their dad tells them. Yeah. Well, and also they just sort of seem like they're on autopilot a little bit. Like, they've just only been with each other since 16. And, like, I know there's, like, high school sweethearts can go and have big, long, lifelong marriages. And it's, like, amazing when that happens. Those are such lovely stories. But you kind of get the sense that these two are, like, I don't know. They're like, well, we're together because we're supposed to be together. She wants to be down in the city. He wants to be up in the farm. I don't know. You just sort of sense like they're just a couple of inertia.

16:39Ronnie Karam: I also think there's no one in Gallatin. We talked about this last week with Steven. There is no one today. What am I supposed to do? There's nobody here. There are no boobies in this town. So I'm wondering if it's just like optionless. But she has options because she's working in the big city. Yeah. And then again, when they get together, I mean, their banter just does not stop. I mean, it is like chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter. Oh, it's true. Chemistry, chemistry, chemistry. Just like, she finishes her sentences. She finishes his sentences. It's like these two were made for each other.

17:10Ronnie Karam: I know the conversation is fucking sparkling. So it's like, you know, maybe they would be attracted to somebody else. But who else are they going to have that kind of repartee with? I know. Am I right? I mean, how else are you going to find somebody else to use dot, dot, dot multiple times in one sentence. Every pot has a lid and this lid is specifically shaped for Jesse. This is just a, you know. Guys, Jesse is doing the compound. He's the compound. And on the screen, we see compound cam. It's like black and white. And there's music playing. It's like really sad music. And Jesse's like, combine cam.

17:54Ronnie Karam: um combining the land out there by yourself combining the land sorry i should say you have a lot of time to think watch i'm gonna do it right now dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot forgot what i was saying every time i think about marriage i start sweating my heart feels like it's beating out of my chest when i feel that stress blowing up i don't really know what to do so i just sort of get quiet again and just keep on combining. Combine cam complete. It was just like a guy sitting in like a cockpit, like a driver's seat, just like looking bored. I was laughing so hard. More combining. I know, I know.

18:41Ronnie Karam: I was laughing so hard that they're like, combine cam. And it's in black and white. And they just show them, they're like, Jesse is having a nervous breakdown to really sad music. And he's like, yeah, combining, it's hard. we all know he's stressing out because when he's combining out there alone he's listening to carly ray jepson he's like i don't know if i should tell my family i listened to carly ray jepson i wish oh my god i want him so bad it's all i want it's all i'm asking for life is jesse so inside the mcbee farm country kitchen so jesse comes in and steven's there and he's like equipment keeps breaking on us well i heard there was a fire out there what happened with that what is going to happen with fire and soybeans we need six million dollars by november 6th or we are fucked this whole family is going under do you understand he's like well thankfully i had an extinguisher under my seat he goes the fire was that bad yeah if you heard about a fire on a fucking combine yeah bro maybe jesse's panic attack is because he's riding this massive machine that last week the wheel went flying off and this week caught on fire and the other week didn't have brakes and crash into another one what are these people doing with these machines do they know how to maintain them jesus what is happening i fixed it but you know i had a little bit of a freak out moment i don't know if you caught combine cam on tv but um you know i i had to look up symptoms and stuff and i think it's called an anxiety attack and it's oh you felt you just feel like you're having a heart attack because yeah like well not like i feel nervous but i'm so nervous about the wedding like i keep thinking about when you know we were younger and all we saw in marriage was mom and dad fighting so like what a married people have to look forward to not being like your brothers for one thing yeah that's true you know what do single people have to look forward two.

20:40Ronnie Karam: Nothing. I mean, the same thing either way, either way, you're getting older and you're dying sooner. So just, you might as well do it with someone you like, if that's your thing. So he says, when it comes to marriage, I'm a little jaded, I guess, because based on my experience with my parents and seeing how dysfunctional it was, is that how my life is going to be? Well, you're still a farmer. Okay. And you didn't get scared off from your dad on that. So I don't know. We just, I don't know. Should have got off the pot at this point. Yeah. And what's going to be better. You're going to not get married to the woman that you love since you were a teenager and then end up what like your dad he seems super happy like i mean why would that option look better i think he just doesn't want to disappoint his family and his family is like you get married is huge disappointment the guys and steven doesn't make him feel any better you know he's like i mean marriage is a big deal but it's not like your life is over technically exactly and he's like well but then i got lightheaded yesterday i felt like i was going to pass out and Stephen just goes, hmm, that's horrible.

21:39Ronnie Karam: Dude, why don't you tell him you love her? There's no reason for you to be nervous. You guys have been together forever. Don't let dad freak you out. You do what you need to do. But instead he's like, hmm, I got nothing to say to you. I can't say pussy on TV. So I'm really at a loss. Yeah, I just only wish I cared enough to feel bad for Jesse right now because he's like, I just, I didn't want to tell Allie and make her nervous thinking that I'm nervous and it's nothing to do with Allie anyway, but obviously she's too good for me in the first place, being a city woman and such and being around all the busy people and the sidewalks and such, but being 30 and everything just makes you wonder if there's someone, something else out there for, you know, you ever see that five old movie and he's like somewhere out there.

22:27What if there's like, I don't know, a sister I could be fucking, that'd be great.

22:31Ronnie Karam: I could be out there fucking a mouse in a cartoon. But instead, here I am. In a sweatshop.

22:40Ronnie Karam: I mean, I'm in combines all day. I could be just floating around in a bottle looking for some sweet, sweet mouse tang. But, you know. Have a quick. You ever get an erection when you listen to Linda Ronstadt? Because that's been happening to me lately. Actually, yes. I just really love a sad song. What can I say? It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappens commercial August is the perfect time to hit reset before the autumn rush begins And honestly, I can't think of a better place to start than my closet That's why I love shopping at Quince Quince is all about fewer, better pieces Their clothes are made with premium materials built to last And designed to become the one you reach for every day Quince specializes in everyday staples that work harder like their ultra soft organic cotton tees and premium Mongolian cashmere sweaters.

Set in 1980s Los Angeles, the series follows a group of glamorous, deeply entangled high school seniors drawn into a life of wealth, beauty, parties, and excess.

25:08At its center is Brett, whose reality begins to unravel when the arrival of a new student coincides with a series of mysterious murders.

25:15Ronnie Karam: FX's The Shards, now streaming on Hulu. so it's like yeah you know and then you start wondering like i'm 30 i'm not gonna have a chance to ever find anything again maybe i just wasted it all at 30 everything's over oh for christ's sake i think 30 that's it well sweet sweet jesse here's what you do you suppress these feelings you have your wedding for bravo and then later on you just cheat cheat cheat cheat cheat and say I just didn't know I wanted to see what else was out there because we know this is what he's going to do. This is his trajectory. It'll be a whole scandal, and it's just going to be like, well, I was with the same woman all my life.

26:00How was I supposed to know? So just save us all the time and the effort. Just go on with your trajectory of your life.

26:08Ronnie Karam: Yeah, he'll always have that built-in excuse and things to flash back to. Although I don't get a douchebag vibe from Jesse because I do really like Jesse, And I think he's nice. I mean, not just because he's hot. He does seem nice. But I think he seems sweet. I don't think he seems like he's going to be a big cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater. But, I mean, I don't know. I mean, he goes to Nashville all the time and he hasn't been caught cheating. But then I think in season one he alluded to cheating on her before getting in trouble. I don't get cheating vibes from him. But also, I'm just saying, like, we've all seen this before with all these relationships.

26:42Like, this is what happens. He's going to have a midlife crisis at some point and he'll cheat. I just think it's just, there's too many odds working against him, unfortunately.

26:51Ronnie Karam: Yeah. Well, I guess time will tell. I guess we'll see in season 10 of this show. Can't wait. Can't wait to get this update. Can't wait for this show to be a surprise success, and we're stuck with it for the rest of our podcast. Do we know how this show is doing, by the way? Is it doing well? Is it not doing well? Are people watching it? I don't know but I'll look it up while you continue this next scene okay well Stephen calls Cole and Stephen's like Stephen's like Cole Jesse just broke down to me yeah he cried that's right he cried I am I think he's having second thoughts out of this world I've never seen him cry I started laughing his face I pointed in his face I said pussy you're a little pussy we only knew you're pussy we just waited for the evidence and now he gave it to us God I've never seen someone more pessimistic about crying before anyway You are disgusting, disgusting trash, you little fucking boy.

27:44Ronnie Karam: Go back to kindergarten and cry like the little girl that you are. If you're going to cry, why don't you cry in cold stupid crops that are underperforming by 50 bushels per bushel, okay? I was like, hey, what? He didn't cry. Wait, he cried. Wow, I can't believe he cried. He cried. A grown man cried. Can you believe it? He cried. And he cried worse than you cried when you cried the other day in the truck. Well, no, I didn't cry. I'm tough. I don't cry. I don't cry. I'm tough. I'm a tough guy who doesn't cry. You cried after that hill beat you. You tried to punch a hill and you lost a hill. And then you cried.

28:15Don't forget that either. Both of you guys cried and you're both pussies. Pussy bitches.

28:19Ronnie Karam: I've changed. I don't know what you're talking about. I never find no hill or nothing. I'm a different person than I was a year ago. Why can't nobody understand that I've changed? Okay, I looked up the ratings at ratings bravo on X. Love you. Love your work. Last week they had.287 So 287 ,000 viewers. And it was the series low in total viewers. And their lead-in show, Below Deck, had about 7.5 million viewers. And it was their season high. So they lost a lot of that audience. So not good. I don't know how many people are on Peacock because it started on Peacock. So maybe a lot more people watch it there.

29:02And again, ratings are really a small part of the picture these days. They use different metrics. but I was just curious to know. Yeah, not good, basically.

29:12Ronnie Karam: So, Jesse's like, well, you know, wait. Oh, we already did that part. Sorry, I was looking up radio. We're at sunrise over the McBee for me. We're at a good song right now. Get Trixie. What's Trixie Monocle's name on here? Trixie McMonocle. Let's get Trixie McMonocle out here to sing for us. Grab a bottle from underneath the front seat. You won't find me drinking in the city. I just need my dirt road whiskey.

29:49Ronnie Karam: I ain't drinking in the city. What am I, a wuss? I'm going to have some dirt road whiskey. It's the only kind worth having. You got whiskey in the bottle? I want whiskey in the bean can. And then we got my favorite scene of the episode because I didn't understand why it was here, but I did enjoy that. I thought it was a very warm, lovely little scene that had nothing to do with anything. We see this guy named Wycus, and he pulls up in a combine, and Tessa's just standing by the side of the road, just standing there, and she's like, hey, I got something for you. Remember when you said you wanted some beers for helping me last night?

30:28Here's some beers. So she gives him some beers, and Wycus is like, thanks. Oh, they're root beers. That's what you wanted, right? But she just gives root beers and they laugh. Is Wycus her son or something? Who is Wycus? I don't know. It's like, didn't you want root beer? Oh, you got root beers instead of regular beer? I just like the idea of Tessa being on the side of the road for hours. Hold that combine, it's coming soon. These jokes will be real good. You give him root beers.

31:03Ronnie Karam: Tessa laughed out about 97 cigarettes for five minutes. So then we go to the White Iron Ridge wedding venue. And it's a big barn house because what else would it be? You know, and I'm glad they decided not to get married at the family barn and instead hire a slightly fancier barn to get married in. Making a big difference. So Ali's like, remember this place? And he's like, yep. Still what? Still a barn. okay there's a joke in there somewhere but i'm just he's like just like you uh so they meet the wedding planners um amanda she's like hi guys um i'm amanda so let's go over some aesthetic options you guys excited here we are for the wedding excited for wedding jesse jesse's like oh my god i've got my my jeans pulled up real tight today i can tell you that match i just want to be back in the combine combine combine honestly this wedding is what ally and her family want and i'm just scared at the moment scared of flowers and chairs i don't like it so then we go to cole's house so cole pulls up and he's like well i got an interesting phone call from steven he said jesse's nervous about next week and had a panic attack and he was out on the tractor can you believe it a panic attack on the tractor what kind of crazy lib stuff is this case is like he had a panic attack because he's getting married he wants to marry ally i'd hope so oh can you believe a panic attack on a combine so back to the venue amanda's like oh ally you look so happy and jesse you look okay well jesse's not gonna smile jesse is facing a corner like he's in the Blair Witch Project.

32:55Ronnie Karam: Okay. Well, let's look. Jesse, you want a baby Ruth? We got a juice box for you, Jesse. You want to come out? You want to say hi? No, Jesse? No? Okay, that's fine. Ollie's like, yeah, it's about time for this to look at a wedding place. And Amanda's like, Jesse, how long did it take you to pop the question? He's like, 10 and a half years, I think. Actually, we've been together for 12, Jesse. So, we've been together for 12 years she likes to round up whatever so um so then everyone goes outside and al is like okay he is going to build a hexagon arbor uh so that'll be done right right jesse you are going to be making the hexagon arbor you always said hexagon arbor you always said our relationship is like a hexagon arbor uh square that was actually six-sided and has trees on it okay so you're gonna make that right he's like yeah i'll make a hexagon arbor and then back to cole cole's like i think he just knows it's gonna be a big change and he's afraid he won't be fun anymore or something or he won't be able to call it his friends or nothing like that in case like yeah but it's a good change right mike i mean it's not a bad thing sometimes you just have to grow up you know i mean i don't think i'd feel good about knowing that he was having panic attacks before getting married so i think they need to have that conversation about it maybe before they get married or something who gave her a lobotomy because i think she gets she should get her money back this is just like they didn't go far enough yes you're like more lobotomy that lobotomy was too subtle she's listening to casey draw on about any point that she makes and i say this as someone who was long-winded himself but like jesus god you're on tv lady come on be snappy well stress the planning takes away from the day you know because weddings are hard like it's supposed to be about you you know it's supposed to be a small thing weddings you know that's why me and you we're going to get married at the back of the farm or something we're going to have like a party and pickup truck you know it's going to be like we're going to have like a like those things you do before the football games you know like a truck a truck back thing what are they called tailgating tailgating we're gonna be tailgating we're gonna have tailgate party in the back of the barn that's what we're gonna do we're just gonna put out something on facebook that's like hey everybody's here if you want to come get shit faced let's do it my baby's drunk i mean i don't know it's more offensive that he wants to have their wedding as just like a like a keg party at the barn or that he's gonna invite everyone over facebook casey's not loving it you just see her she's like You just see the look on her face.

35:43She's like, I attached my ride to the wrong horse. Like, this is, like, she's like, she's just, she is committed to this. I mean, she's pregnant. She's pregnant. So she's like, I'm going to see this through. But she just sees what her life is going to be. And it's not good. This is not a fairy tale. It's not good.

35:59Ronnie Karam: So she's like, but I don't think, yeah, like, it shouldn't be so stressful. Would you quit interrupting me? Sorry. I think being stressed out. Yeah, you know what? Like, we should get married in a barn. god damn it cool i mean she's having panic attacks but marriage is like a big thing you know the mcb men aren't good at expressing emotion except maybe anger which is why i'm staying in this relationship of course it's like what how many red flags do you need like come on casey you may be boring as hell you may be deeply uninteresting but you still deserve better than one of these guys. Go off to the big city and find yourself a new cowpoke.

36:40Ronnie Karam: Yeah, Casey's so cute. I don't know what she's putting up with this guy for. Casey's beautiful. She's sweet. I was about to say she's beautiful. She's intelligent. She's sweet. She loves a monster. She loves a lunchable. I mean, there's a big market for that. I feel like there was a period of time when she was interesting and that Cole just drained it all out of her. And I think she needs to go somewhere where she can be like she can be like you know how like your body needs electrolytes she needs personality lights and they just need to like just be ejected back into her because i know that she had them at some point she needs behind her eyes lights yes there's definitely there's definitely a darkness back there so we go back to the venue and now they're kind of um rehearsing and jesse's standing where he's supposed to stand and they're like jesse you're on the wrong side jesse the groom stands on the other side dummy and amanda's like hey jesse what's stressing you out exactly and he goes oh well you know just mostly her she goes he looks terrified now he's like um jesse it's gonna be here before you know it jesse and you're standing on the wrong side he's like oh god get me out of this.

38:00Oh, man. Will he ever be able to build that hexagonal arbor? I just don't know. That's probably why he's stressed, because he's sitting there combining instead of building some sort of single-use hexagon arbor. So, is it even called an arbor? It's not called an arbor. I don't know. I don't know what you guys are talking about. Honestly. You know, it's like the thing... It's not an arbor. It's a trellis, maybe, is what...

38:27Ronnie Karam: Oh. Hexagonal arbor. isn't what you're thinking of. It's at least, I looked it up, and it's just basically like a big stop sign that you hang lights and stuff in, but you don't stand in it. It looks pretty small. I guess it is called an arbor. Yeah, it's like a, you know, it's like a big, it's like a basically... It's like an archway to stand under while you get married, I guess, right? Yeah, that's fine. It's fine. That's cute. Yeah, that's cute. That's cute enough. Yeah, it's just big enough to stand under. So that's cute. Like people take them to the beach, and they stand under them under the beach or whatever.

39:04Let's go to Independence, Missouri. All the towns are independent. Throw your arms up at me.

39:12Ronnie Karam: Throw your combines at me. Ow! Sorry, sorry there, Tessa. Someone threw a combine at me. Jeez, sorry for being single. we're at Hereford House restaurant or maybe it's pronounced hereford as in you go there and they're like here you just got a ford. Christy and Cole sit down for a nice mother potato chat and Christy is like I can't believe I'm having a girl you're having a girl I mean I mean you're having a girl I'm not having a girl but I feel like we're all having a girl I'm like trust me you're having a girl. You're having a girl you will be raising that child ma 'am you will be you will be the one okay I'm excited to be a girl dad but nervous there's a lot I need to learn about how a girl thinks God forbid I do it while I'm actually in a relationship with one how about we start with hygiene and then you can work up to how a girl thinks yeah how about wipe the mustard off your shirt well start there okay

40:22let's start with some basics okay how about hills should not be punched because it's a futile

40:29Ronnie Karam: exercise yeah and christy's like well i don't know steven and cal i think that marriage is in their future but i can tell you it shouldn't be it shouldn't be enough it shouldn't be in their future and he's like well i know how you feel about me getting married you know with casey me i'm not like all the way there yet though mama you know because like maybe after the baby's born in the house is done, stuff like that. Maybe we could be out there, or maybe by the time she's talking about us, she'll be ready, you know? And she's like, well, your little girl needs her parents married, you know? Your little girl can't go through divorce unless she's got married parents.

40:59I know. Well, but the problem is I want to price out an elk hunt first before the ring budget.

41:07Ronnie Karam: Like an elk hunt? How much is an elk hunt? He goes, well, it's like 12 grand. I mean, they're pretty expensive, I guess I could push that back, though, after I get a ring. She's like, yeah, maybe we should prioritize a wedding over an elk, over murdering elk. Wait, what if I invite everyone on Facebook Messenger and say, hey, come to the elk hunt, but it's actually a wedding. That way you kill two birds and an elk with one stone. I'd really rather not put your wife and child in danger, Cole. That's a good point. but you know she's like you know what we should do since you're completely unsure about this let's go look for wedding rings right now i know a wedding store right in the parking lot of hereford's so let's go right out in the back to get in the car and they say two sentences and they're like i don't even think there was an edit and they're like right in front of you know Zales, Bill's, Bill's Jewelry Discount Center.

42:06So he walks in in his t-shirt and he's like, look at the wow, look at this, wow. So they walk into Drennan, it's actually called Drennan Jewelry. Come to Drennan Jewelry, the best jewelry you can get from Mr. Drennan himself. So this guy, Steve is there and Chrissy's like, we're looking for engagement rings. and Steve is like, okay, for who? For a call here? Is there a different... This one right here? This one found someone? Wait a second. There is someone who would actually want to fuck this man? Okay. Chrissy, I love you, but this joke, you cannot be pranking me like this on TV.

42:46Ronnie Karam: You can't just be bringing people in from off the streets, Christy. This is a serious business. I know we went to high school together, but could you bring me something serious? No, he's already going to get married. That's my son. Andrew admitting to this sack of shit being your son. Are you kidding me? This sentient marshmallow is getting engaged. Are you kidding me? All right, let me see if I can find a ring shape inspired by burp. All right, let me see what I got around here. All right, let me see what we've got from the Frosty the Snowman collection, because that's what you brought in to me, basically.

43:21Cranking up the heat as high as I can go, and he's still not melting.

43:25Ronnie Karam: Okay, do you know what kind of cut you want? He's like, well, she's telling me before, but I'm not really sure. I don't remember what kind she said. I think it was like a rectangle or something. He's like, okay, well, that's called a radiant cut, which no one is ever going to confuse you with. Okay. There's a cushion cut. Got that, Spades.

43:48Emerald. Cushion cut. Cold. They call them cold cushion cut Mickey.

43:59yellow gold is popular white gold is energy he's like i'll take the white gold black gold no further

44:03Ronnie Karam: oh whoa okay i stand for white gold i'll tell you that right now he's like i don't know anything about diamonds so this is all new to me i've been looking up on facebook to see what i can find but so far i'm just getting a facebook marketplace well so how much do you think a two carat diamond ring would cost is that uh i don't know maybe uh Two elk. Okay. Maybe look it up on your phone, son. So he pulls out his phone and he looks and he's like, whoa, that's a lot more than two grand. I need to take a loan out for that. That's crazy. That's a lot of money. Commercials. Here comes one right now.

46:34Ronnie Karam: So we come back and Steve is like, okay, here's a thin rectangular. Okay, that should be our goal for the future. Go ahead and try this on, buddy. But wait a second. This is an orange. Well, why would it be orange? Well, you said it was a carrot ring. Okay. Chrissy, I'm going to have to have you remove your son from my store. Are terrorists even hitting carrots? What did we get them from China?

47:03Okay. Listen, I didn't know carrots were this expensive. Guess what? Okay. Steven, I've got a great new idea. Next week, next year, we grow carrots. Okay. They're selling for thousands of dollars.

47:17Ronnie Karam: So the price of this ring is$10 ,000. And Cole's like, wow, it's so weird. You know, like, I'm going for my dad. He says marriage is a prison sentence to my mom, who's all about getting married for a baby, you know? I do think Casey wants to get married until after the baby. But, I mean, I don't know. If it's the right person at the right time, why wait? Well, that's kind of the point. You're not the right person, dude. Like, you're still getting so fucked up that you're telling your boyfriend's girlfriend in front of everybody you want to eat her ass out at the lake of the Ozarks. I mean, I don't think you're ready, sir.

47:51Ronnie Karam: I don't think she's ready for you. You're going to have to do a lot of changing, Cole. I don't think she's ready for this jelly. Which, by the way, all this acting like Casey's not going to marry Cole is crazy. I mean, aren't they already married? I'm going to look it up. Don't wait for me. Nothing says I'm just going to settle for the rest of my life than Casey's face. She is the original settler of Catan. She's just like I'm settler of Coltan. So now we go over to Cornerstone Coffee. They keep on going to these shitty looking coffee shops. Is there just a better option in any of these places for them?

48:35So they go and Stephen gets a coffee and he's like you know i've been thinking about what my family has said about me and cal over the last three years and how it might be beneficial to try to meet someone new someone i don't have to negative history with and then um so they're leading up it's sort of like they're making seem like he's going on a date which we know he's never going to go on a date um we know it's going to be i was

48:55Ronnie Karam: interested to see what he could pull though and gallatin and honestly i thought for one second i hope it's brooke i hope it's his dad's ex-girlfriend because he actually had some chemistry with brooke you know and she's wanted to make me so maybe i thought maybe it was going to be brooke but it was actually dun dun dun calla no one's surprised no one is surprised here calla calla calla so then steven's doing this whole thing about like you know like you know the definition of insanity is doing some the same thing over and over again and expecting different results i'm like i know that's why i watch this show because i keep expecting it to be good and he's like that's why i'm doing this trying to the same thing over and over but with different results obviously she looks gorgeous but she just makes me weak every time she looks this good but she was also my best friend you know because we would talk about things like hey here's some evidence of her being my best friend like look at us um looking at us look we're looking at corn together in the field look at i'm showing her some baby corn my best friend so she's like hi how are you good to see you and he's like well i've been up a lot at night realizing how many calories these milkshakes have in them you know and i never really think about that but you're not there anymore to think about it for me and i've been thinking how much of what happened wasn't really your fault but you know the distance we've had this last week's it gave me a clear enough head to see that um and also masturbation is really really difficult so please come back to me.

50:30So I did RSVP both of us to Jesse's wedding initially. So that hasn't changed. She goes, well, I'm obviously still apprehensive and uncomfortable with all that. Well, what are you concerned with the most? You're the most pessimistic person about weddings. What do you think? He's like, my family. She's like, yeah, dum-dum. Of course you're family.

50:52Ronnie Karam: Well, couldn't we just dress up and, you know, have a good time together and not worry about the family part and enjoy each other's company. What about that? Let's just pretend nothing happened and just continue on this toxic cycle. I mean, come on. And she's like, yeah, that's what you said before the Ozarks. But then we went to the Ozarks and then it was still stupid. So like, what now? And it's like, yeah, well, I want you to get dressed up and I don't get to get dressed up often. You know, I mean, you'd like nice dinner. There's going to be dinner there. I mean, they're going to have metal things full of mac and cheese and potatoes and cheese.

51:26Cheese and cheese. it's gonna be a lot i'm gonna get real dressed up i'm gonna wear a sports jacket and a bolo tie watch out watch out met gala i'm coming for you next

51:39Ronnie Karam: oh so you're getting all the way dressed up you ain't even gonna mess around no more huh and he's like yeah it'll be fun i just picture you choking me out with a bolo tie you'll love that and then the barista they show the barista it's funny first of all he didn't even say it out loud and they showed the barista and she's like I was like why are you being mean to that barista she didn't even do anything wrong and then they showed close ups of children being mortified I also like I feel like in that moment he sort of forgot he was on camera because he just basically said that out loud and you know I don't think he's the type that would say that out loud and Cal's like oh my god there's children around and so then they're like what's the deal with the bolo die situation he's like I don't know I just thought of some ideas that might be fun anyway what are your thoughts Cala she goes well We'll see.

52:25So now Cole drives up to Casey's office and she's like, what are you doing? He's like, well, I'm calling to get you. We're going out. We're going out on a date. She goes, but what about my car? He's like, just leave it. It's Gallatin.

52:41Ronnie Karam: There ain't no parking enforcement in Gallatin. That's why we live here. She's like, well, where are we going? There have been like five different cars that got beat up by bats and got their tires slashed on this show. So I don't know. I think I actually would put it in your garage. it's like where are we going i'm surprising you uh-oh so they drive to their future house which is this huge ass house this big old farm house it's enormous this house so by the way this kind of answers why she's staying with coal because i would stay with coal for that house that's a big house wow i'm so excited to see the the big ass open concept with all the blue walls that they're put in there because that's all they do to see what creative things they do with shiplap i can't wait to see all their uses of robin's egg blue um so cole is like when we found out about the baby we decided to build a place of our own it's a lot of work but hopefully it's done before the baby is born so uh they go and then they go sit out of the by the way no it's not going to be done before the baby's born it's like barely up they've got like barely the framing up.

53:48Ronnie Karam: He's like, well, hopefully this will be done in about five minutes. You know, it's how it's all right. Like, no, you're going to be waiting a while, buddy. I mean, the thing is so huge, you would think that they're actually parking a combine inside of it. He's like, well, it's perfect because you can watch TV here and park their combine right here next to the kitchen. Yeah, well, they have that whole separate garage. I mean, the garage is connected to the house, but it's like a whole other wing. I mean, it's a huge garage. They probably could fit a combine in there. Yeah, they could. Combine garage.

54:16So Cole is like, well, I know we've been doing better and I've been trying to make things up to you. So here's a box. And so -

54:24Ronnie Karam: Like how I went to Nashville last week, even though you didn't want me to. Wow, I'm really killing it, huh? What do you mean you've been doing things to make it up to her? What have you done? You showed her a mountain. Come on. Yeah. And then, yeah, he literally showed her a mountain. So then he pulls out a box and he pretends to get down on one knee, which they have used like immensely in the previews and trailers to make it seem like there's going to be a proposal. And he's like, ha, ha, ha. No, it's not that. It's your key to the house. And she gasps. She's so touched that she's getting the thing that she rightfully should have.

55:01Ronnie Karam: That she would be getting anyway. You know, to walk into the house that she's going to be living in. And she's like, wow, this kind of thing is called superpower. It's like the simple things I love the most. We know. You're with one. and she's like, this night was very much us, you know, like he's not completely forgiven, but this was one of the reasons I stick around. I mean, I'm a lucky girl. I got a key chain. I know. Yeah. Cole's superpower is going to Ace Hardware and making a copy of a key. It was a key in the shape of a house though, which I thought was kind of cute. Very meta, which he loves apparently because that's, I love that burglars won't even be confused.

55:44Ronnie Karam: wedding they'll be like what is this key for she probably is like that trying the car um this is my i'm in my house key because it's got a house um i don't know what this one does it doesn't have a car and so i don't think it's for the car yeah and we see how she loves simple dates like when he took her to eat lunchables and watching cow pastures and um so then they roast two hot dogs on a double hot dog roaster which I've never seen. Like it's like a pronged hot dog thing to roast double hot dogs. And he's like, I can't believe in a few months we're going to be parents. And then one step after that happens, just get married.

56:23Ronnie Karam: Because well, that's what I was thinking. You know, I was looking for rings today. He's like, did you get it then? Did you go to Drennan's? And he's like, well, that didn't sound like you wanted me to do that. She goes, well, we just need to have a little bit more time because I don't want an engagement just because it's the next step. I want it because I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Also, I need to see if you act like a total fool once this baby arrives. Yeah. He's like, well, I already know I want to spend it with you. Well, yeah, but you're the one without options here. You know what I mean?

56:54Ronnie Karam: So, and Casey's like, yeah, I mean, I do too. It's not like I ever want us not to be together. I just don't want to rush things, you know. We've still got a lot of time to fix things. It's like, I don't know, you.

57:09he's not one to know how to read a room or do a lot of work together oh so then i could have just

57:17Ronnie Karam: stopped at read yeah i love cole but he's not really wanting to know how to read like we know that's fair so uh now we get a song she's just a cow girl she's gonna keep it like that out. She'll turn the heat on if you love a log van.

57:39So now we're at Stephen's house and they're tending to chickens. I have to say, I can't stand Kala. I think she's like a shallow twit, but you know what? Love that Oreo. She has a chicken named Oreo that looks like an Oreo. It looks like a stack of Oreos, chicken form. And I gotta say, huge breakout star for me. I love Oreo.

58:04Ronnie Karam: Chicken flavored Oreo. We're going to invest trillions into it. Protect that chicken at all costs. There is a chicken murderer out there on this show. Oreo must be saved. Yeah. So Cole comes over and he's like, Uh, hi. And she's like, Wow, Cole. Why do you look so solemn? Because you look like you're going to kill him, baby. He's like, well I guess I'm feeling embarrassed about some of the things I said you know and I know some of it will be hard to come back from I don't expect you forgive me but I just want you to know I'm sorry because I wasn't really in my right mind but I would eat your ass all day if it was mine I don't think that that's why I'm only looking at your toes right now because if I look any higher I'm going to get a bone or so big it's going to knock all of us over okay because he's just sitting there he's got his hands on his hips and he's just staring at the ground and then but also but he's got his hat on who's staring at the ground so you can't really see his eyes but steven's also staring at the ground and like cal is just like staring at him while she's like uh-huh yeah i was really hurt but i just love the way these guys just like staring at the ground they can't even like look her in the eyes he's like i feel really bad i was really bad i was being really mean and i was raised not to be like that and i'm really sorry for those things and like opposition but but into your relationship because i don't like when people butt into my relationship and i really hope you can come to the wedding because it'll be really fun on that furthermore you i really like when you twerk but i won't look at you twerking anymore because even though i would love to see that all over my face i don't know it's not my place to have it on my face and that rhymed too and i'm really sorry for rhyming in your face okay bye she's like uh thank you that really meant a lot to me that you apologized okay your excuse like oh my god thank god thank god thank god i'm going back home i can't do this it's like seven lunchables down his face on the way to the car and she's like, well, I don't know what the right decision is regarding the wedding, but it feels good to be cordial with each other.

59:56Ronnie Karam: I just don't want any drama. Dawn, Dawn, Dawn, Dawn, Dawn. Please have drama. I want Jesse's wedding to be chock full of drama. You better have some drama. Aunt Darla better start some shit. She was disappointing. She really was. You're such a slut. I thought she was really going to act out. Just a slut. We love you, Aunt Darla. We just need more from you. Okay? And Caleb Ben might not like you, but I like you. And I think that you should get back into this family and keep fighting until you own all those combines. That's what I say. Yeah, you be the combine queen. I love Aunt Darla. I love her.

1:00:37She gives me nothing. I mean, she does nothing. She's here for one second and was like, ha! So she does nothing. Now we are at, so they don't have Topgolf here. They said go to T-Shots Golf. Oh, I thought it was over. Topgolf imploded, right?

1:00:53Ronnie Karam: No, I thought the recap was over. I was about to say bye. Okay, so there's more coming up. I forgot we went to Topgolf. Okay, here we go. The episode just kept on going. Yeah, I'm homegrown. Let them all know. I've been working where the tall grass grows. This is called T-Shots. But yeah, I thought it was Topgolf too. I thought it was Topgolf too. I thought it was Topgolf, but maybe, I think, Topgolf, I think, is faltering as a company, right? How the fuck should I know? I went when it first opened and thought it was kind of fun, I guess, even though it couldn't hit anything, but then I just remember it from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and Jen Shaw having her party for Omar there, and she's like, I spent$80 ,000 on this party.

1:01:37Ronnie Karam: I can't believe you guys are doing this to me. What about me? What about me? So they're here at this place, which by the way, I am surprised that coal has not fallen off the edge of the Topgolf like putting tea. Like, how does this I was looking? I was like, how do they how do these places that have like the like the shooting ranges that are like up high? What do they do to make sure people don't fall off the edge? Because there's got to be a lot of drunk coals going around. And I see they have a little bit of a net, but that net is not enough. I think they have the net that catches you. Yeah, it's like a big net that goes down.

1:02:11Ronnie Karam: I'm sure they've caught a lot of coals in their day. oh geez so um so brayden and jesse like walking slow-mo like we're gonna do golf and then uh they're all there and then all of a sudden jesse's like what the hell is going on look who is walking in and i was like combine cam combine cam he's like i just really got upset when i saw Kala come into the Topgolf combine camp. It's Steven and Kala walking in. So they're all shocked and they just can't believe that she's there. So then Steven's asking where Allie is and Allie's doing the usual thing, avoiding being with Jesse and either doing a triathlon.

1:02:57But in this case, she's going to her bridal shower. Yeah.

1:03:00Ronnie Karam: And Kala's like, wow, I went on y 'all's registry and the only things left was a power tool attachment, which is you, I guess. But then there's like two champagne flutes for$100 each. I was like, whoa, y 'all are fancy now. And he's like, I didn't do that. I didn't do that one. I did do the power attachment thing though. We know, Jesse. We know. You have to make your octagonal arbor thing or whatever. Yeah, we were pretty sure that Allie wasn't like, I need a power tool right now. You know what I'm really into? You know, Jesse, really what I'd love around my finger? A Dremel. Dremel. Well, so then Cole and Casey arrive, and people are, like, being nice to Kala, and they're shooting shots and everything.

1:03:49And Casey's like, Cole told me he and Kala made up, which is sweet, but, like, I wish he was, like, more motivated to behave this way all the time, not just when people are mad at him. Why are you with this man? Go have your baby on your own. It'll have a much better life.

1:04:06Ronnie Karam: Yeah, run away. So now it's nighttime. We go to the McBee farm. Cole, Jesse, and Jake meet up for nighttime crop cutting on the combines. Guys, we're working double time. These soybeans need some beanin'. These soys need some boys, right? We got the boys for the soys. But we're not so boys, okay? These are not so boys. Do you understand? So Cole is like, so you talked to Allie about your wet nerves, about your nervous breakdown. Have you gone to Allie and admitted to be a huge wussy? And Jesse's like, no, I don't want to. I just want to get on the combine. Jake, could you come on me with the combine?

1:04:42Ronnie Karam: Combine cam! He's like, I just need to be in the combine and look around. Because all I can think about when I'm home is, oh, my God, I'm getting married. I'm 30. Everything's over. Oh, my God, Allie probably hates me. Actually, Allie really does hate me. What's the city like? Why can't I go to the city? Why didn't Allie give me keys to the city house? Combine cam! Harvesting it not makes a lot of time for thinking about the wedding. It's a lot of time for thinking, Oh God, so much thinking. I'm like, do you, he acts like he just doesn't think the rest of his life. He just, he just like, just there's like a robot.

1:05:15And then like left alone on the combine. He's like, Oh my God, the big city. What's it like out there? What about the crime? What about the queers? What do I do? So then we go to Jesse Nally's farmhouse and he comes in cause he's had a long night of Kanban thinking. And that brain is going. It is going. And he's thinking, I've got to tell Allie that I had anxiety.

1:05:38Ronnie Karam: Yeah. So he comes in and Allie is putting away food, which is weird. In a hostile way. Yeah. So I was thinking it was going to be like, you didn't come home for dinner or something like that. Because she's kind of like throwing the buns in the bag or whatever she's doing to the ciabattas, whatever those were. Boom. and so i was like oh maybe he's in trouble because he missed dinner for the combine but she never says anything so i don't know so she's like how was your day better than the other days and he's like well i had a rough one the other day and i think i had an anxiety attack okay so they go into the bed so they're talking bad and he's like i think i had an anxiety attack and she's just looking at him like um like she has this way of looking i don't know how to explain like her eyes are wide open and her brows are up and she's like um really she's got that look on her face at all times and he's like yeah and my heart was beaten out of my chest like i couldn't stop it and she goes well i know you don't really like to talk about stuff so yes yeah and you know there's just so much going on and like with the farm and then my relationships and she's like she's like are you trying to get out of building a hexagon arbor because that's your one thing you have to do for this wedding he's like oh it's just so weird to me that this guy is coming to multiple people in his family being like guys i'm really stressed out i had an anxiety attack and i'm really worried and not one single person has been like oh my god are you okay has it happened And again, you know, this is totally normal, but maybe you should see somebody.

1:07:22Ronnie Karam: It's going to be okay. Like, babe, it's natural if you're feeling a little bit nervous before the wedding. I don't want you to feel rushed. The most important thing is we know we love each other. No one comforts the guy. They just all stare at him like he's the biggest idiot for having any kind of anxiety attack. I don't get it. Yeah. So basically, Ali is like, well, I wish I wish you knew earlier that that you could have come to me with this, which is a funny thing to say. And then she's like, well, do you do you think that postponing the wedding is something that you want or need to do? Because you have to let me know right now because I'm the deadline for signing up for the triathlon that day is about to pass.

1:08:02So we're not doing that wedding. I'm going to do a try. OK, I thought this was interesting.

1:08:07Ronnie Karam: He starts crying and he says he feels like he's living a double life between the image everyone has of him because everyone thinks that he's the perfect guy. And that's a lot of pressure. And they think that they're the perfect couple. And he says, I didn't want to share this with you, but it feels wrong not telling you. And he starts crying and she just stares at him. And she's like, I mean, I don't know. I mean, I think I need more from my partner. Basically, what I'm saying is he needs me because I'd be like, Jesse, come here. Let me hold you. Like, you're mine. Come here. Let me hold you. And while you cry, we'll talk it through.

1:08:42Ronnie Karam: And she's just looking, and I'm like, oh, my, what? You got to talk to me. But then, you know, she's obviously really upset, too. So she starts crying because, obviously, someone's, like, nervous to get married to you. That probably doesn't feel great either. So she's crying. And he's like, I don't want to let anybody down. And she's like, should we postpone? No, hug him and tell him it's going to be okay. And then talk about it later. but I think this guy just needs some love and support. And I'm here for you. I'm here. Good. Call it to Ronnie. Just rest your head on Ronnie's bosom, Jesse. Yeah.

1:09:15And for some reason, this conversation mandated a to be continued. So everyone, if you can get through the week, finding out whether or not this wedding is going to be postponed, I applaud you because I don't know if I can. I do not know if I can focus on any other task this week without being distracted with the thoughts that this wedding, wedding of the decade, might be postponed a little bit.

1:09:39Ronnie Karam: Who knows? I need to see this arbor. Get it together. All right, well, that's the end of the McBee dynasty, at least for the next week or so. Everybody, thanks so much for being here. It was a pleasure, as always, Ben. Everybody, we love you, and we'll talk to you next time. Bye. Bye.

Yes. Caesar sauce? I feel like we don't talk about Caesar sauce enough because it's so, so good.

1:13:04I love to dip everything into it. Have you ever dipped fries in Caesar sauce before?

1:13:07Ronnie Karam: I mean, I just have. It is delicious. Caesar sauce is like a Parmesan, garlicky blend with some lemon in it. And you can dip anything in there. One thing I have been known to do is to stop over at McDonald's and go to the drive-thru and get myself a Caesar snack wrap and just dip some fries in the Caesar sauce. Also, the crispy strips in the Caesar sauce. Honestly, try it. It's really good. Listen, I say if you put Caesar sauce on something, that automatically makes it better. Yes, that's really all you need is the Caesar sauce. I think I just want to have just a constant supply of Caesar sauce and put it on things at all times.

1:13:44Ronnie Karam: Yeah, I'm a straight up French fry and Caesar sauce kind of a boy. That's what I love. And that's how I'm going to go down. Right now at participating McD's, the$2.99 Caesar snack wrap is making me rethink my go-to order. Caesar sauce at participating McDonald's for a limited time. Prices and participation may vary.
