1:26Watch what crap is. Watch what crap is. Who cares what happens when there's so much that crap is? It's so funny. Watch what crap is. Oh, I mean, don't be crap. Who cares what happens when there's so much that crap is? Hello, and welcome to Watch What Crap Is, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to watch. I'm Ben Mandelker, and joining me today for this very, very exciting episode is the one and only, the irascible Ronnie Karam. Hi, Ronnie. How's it going? Well, hello. Irascible. Yeah, are you excited? Because today is the season finale of McBee Dynasty. And according to Christy, Christy McBee could be the series finale.

2:15Oh, yeah. It could be. Yeah, and Stephen, too, was like, we are sick of it! We are sick of taking it from the Bravo fandom! This is a sick, toxic fandom! I will not have this. I will only have a fandom of 5 '8 or 5 '6 blonde women. Do you understand me? From now on, we are solely producing this show for an audience of many highland gals. Okay? No more bravo people. This show did give me what I needed, though. And I have to say, and I was watching the episode like, wow, they've got nothing. I mean, that whole happy hour scene with the ladies or whatever, the girls' nights, They literally just stood there and stared at each other for a solid five minutes talking about nothing.

2:57And I was like, this poor show has nothing going on for it. And then my Galena grabbed a crowbar and made it all worth it at the end. No. That's my girl, Galena. I love you. Love you. It was a great moment. I laughed out loud. It was very fulfilling for me because I think we've all wanted to do that to Stephen's car, if not face. But like, quite frankly, that scene, that scene with the girls night at that bar was one of the saddest, most pathetic things we've ever seen on Bravo. I'm sorry. It was like the Pleather Brigade came out and stood in a brightly lit sports bar and stood at the corner drinking milky drinks, looking around like girls night.

3:36I'm like, oh, gosh. Oh, man, that is a lasting vision. I mean, the same week that they have Crystal's ugly leather pants party and these girls are wearing these outfits like non-ironically, it was just, it was a tough watch. It was a tough watch. Non-ironically. Yep. So here we are, season finale of the McBee. Yeah. McBee car. Well, guess what? We started at the McBee car wash office and Galena is sitting in front of two monitors, which is, you know, she's just looking at chickens. right like we all know she's just staring at the masha's chickens like waiting when to strike next like oh that one the clay one i attack her next well she's doing a lot of her speed typing she's doing typing typing i'm typing look at me typing and i don't know she was either she was really typing fast or she was just doing this on the keyboard it was like look busy busy work work Who doesn't come to work in the full head-to-toe leather trench coat that they wear at car wash?

4:43I'm so glad you noticed that. She was typing so fast. And I was watching, of course, at 1.5 or 1.75 speed so I can get through it faster. So her hands were... I was like... I just assumed it was because I was watching it fast. But I'm glad to see that on normal speed that she was doing fake typing or something. Yeah, I think she was just going like this over the keyboard. Type, type, fast, fast, type. I mean, how much content do you need to produce for a car wash? Yeah. Was she writing a personal essay? Personal essay? What needs to be written? How much, like, it's like not only that something has to be written, but it has, like, there's so much of it that needs to be said that you got to type it as soon as possible.

5:23It's like, dear so-and-so, we are going to let you know you get$5 off your next windshield wiper repair. I mean, like. are you sure he would not like to go from individual peewee car wash to premium monthly membership car wash by the way we'll get your wheels do those car washes have like an option for you to send a cruise liner through them why are those facilities so big when they showed an exterior shot i was like these car washes are enormous okay and they're like really are like and they're like wondering why it's costing them like you know millions of dollars why they're like 28 million dollars in debt over these car washes it's because they are fortresses no one needs a car wash to be that big like what are you spending your money on they're putting the combines in there probably i was about to say i actually was wondering if it was like agricultural like they're sending it might combine through that yeah and also just the trucks there are so big they're gigantic they're all humongous so who knows what what they're putting through there but do not forget they also have to fit in mcb's coffee shop that's right i could take mcb's brew uh yeah the finest the finest uh brew well they they do that okay well that explains it because if they have mcb's coffee shop in the car wash they're going to need at least one or two more stories to accommodate christie's orders exactly yeah one of those one of those whole rooms could just be one of Christy's lattes.

6:53Those lattes are like in a missile silo. It was just, they need a lot of space to accommodate that frozen latte that she enjoys. Yeah, well, they're making up a lot of stuff for this finale. We open with a scene of Galena fake typing and then having a meeting with Christy McBee. Hi, I just wanted to come in and see how everything's going. Yeah, go ahead, tell me how you're doing. How are you doing, Galena? And she's like, Well, you know, Steve, he was handling so many things, and now you know how he is. Prison. So I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows how Steven is, because this is difficult, even from behind bars.

7:34And you know that Christy still does not like Galena. She just plays along to get along. But we know that she doesn't like her because she did not bring an enormous styrofoam cup of coffee to her. So Galena's like, even though Steven doesn't hide it in her face. I don't think Christy can hide it. She's got this thing, like her piercing little eyes and her little tight teeth smile. She just always looks like she wants to either hug somebody or murder them. I can't read her face. It's hard to read her face. So I just pretend she's Tom Petty and think she's singing a song. So then Galena is like...

8:13It's as hard to read her face as it is for her kids to just read things. I like to say I can read her face her face is this boys will be boys as long as the boys are happy golly I don't sure I have my own business that's very successful and if I step away from it and focus on this one for too long I risk losing lots of money over there and threatening the lives of my poor employees but I gotta do this for the boys yeah I'm doing everything I can to just keep this going here. And Galena's like, yes, you know, it's like transition period, but the best thing we can do is come together and step up, you know, keep on washing.

8:57Car wash be car washing. You know what I say? Always be car wash is what I always say. Well, yeah, I appreciate you doing that, you know, and obviously the way that you're stepping up and, you know, by coming to work and doing your job that you're paid to do. But, you know, obviously these businesses affect the boys and i'm just worried about the boys because you know i'm just gonna need you to you know focus really really focus and show up just keep coming to work because they complained to her that this lady goes to housewives parties on the weekends and they're called weekends because that's what they're the end of the week where people do things that aren't work you dicks she's actively trying to have outreach with the rest of bravo communities that way people understand why the hell this wretched show is on the network and so and meanwhile she's sitting here coming in to lecture galena about like too much travel when chrissy's the one who bought sweets for all the boys to go to vegas to quote-unquote work when they literally didn't even go to cowboy christmas except for steven and i want to be the only boy going to cowboy christmas you know yeah so i don't really supporting steven moving across the country to stalk some poor girl instead of working and doing what he's supposed to be doing.

10:11I mean, give me a break, lady. I mean, Galena's typing. She's like the valedictorian of Mavis Beacon University over there, okay? So give her a break.

10:24Galena is the only one out of all of these people that we actually see working. I mean, the boys will fake it sometimes. Like Cole does his, well, I just sold a bunch of salads to somebody. I mean, I don't know how many gallons of grain they hold, but you know it was all my deal or we see them try to pretend they're riding in a tractor but they don't even know how to open the doors so please lay off galena she's the one who's actually at this fucking car wash all the time i know seriously but also galena aim higher aim higher like like it's i mean just listen to what ronnie just said you're stuck at these car washes all day long you deserve better in life i know i hope she does move to orange county to be friends with all the people that she is friends with you know like she moves there and then she shows up on the orange county oh really what you think you're some rich bitch you are better than me i just want to see her take a crowbar to probably vicky's truck at this point but i'd take anybody yeah anybody i think she should open up like a cute little cafe in laguna beach or something and they come in and she'd be like oh hello ladies oh yes i've got a russian pastry here and um also uh normal sized lattes in protest to christy mcbee oh i want to see her be like full housewife i want to see her pull a housewife storyline shit go steal um can't steal a man go steal uh johnny jay johnny jay what's his name johnny jay go get him from alexis and let's watch you know or go move in like you did on this show you know with steven go have an affair with johnny jay and then you know take come on come on galena please yeah well um so christy uh lectures galena in a sweet but condescending way and she's you know this is where like you know she's like oh god i never had anything to do the farms but like the boys don't want to don't want this to affect the boys i love that they're all willing to put lots of people out of work like tons of people at works that way Cole can save his house.

12:29You guys can lose your houses, but Cole can't lose his enormous house with a layout like a rec center with a staircase that you can actually walk on, like a staircase bridge that you walk under. This guy built a huge house beyond his means on land he couldn't even afford, so daddy had to buy the land and daddy even couldn't afford the land. He built this whole thing beyond the scope of his bank account or whatever it is in his fucking portfolio. Now we can't, oh, guess what? Can't afford it because I couldn't afford the land in the first place. And oh no. So guess what? That wasn't even the thing.

13:08He didn't even get a loan for the land. This is just business land. He just built it on something that the business owned. He just built it on. So because he was dumb, now all these people who work at the car washes are going to lose their jobs. And I don't care what Stephen says. is like, oh, well, you know, leadership always wants to have someone on board for three to five years in transition. I'm like, they're fucking car washes. Leadership already has, whoever's buying these car washes already has a team that's just going to come in and lay off everyone. So it's like, it's not like some suckers coming in here like, how do I run a car wash?

13:43I hope we get someone who can top real fast in here. No. Like Galena was not a car wash expert before she started working at the car wash. Galena figured it out i'm not saying galena's stupid i'm not saying oh if even galena could do it i'm just saying like people will figure it out and so i don't know i just have like limited like um i just have limited sympathy for cole putting galena and everyone else works at these car washes out of business just i have zero other assholes but we'll get there soon because right now it's just about christy saying you need to come to work more and you know like maybe limit traveling and um you You know, your credibility with the boys will get better.

14:21And it's like, well, this is awkward because Christy and I are just trying to make establish a friendship. But then I'm, you know, I'm offering to help the boys. And then Christy telling me what to do and how to do my job. Yeah, but you guys, you guys can work together. Whatever you whatever you need help with, whatever the boys need help with. I just want these businesses to succeed. So just remember, these businesses are about. Helping cars be washed. The boys. It's about the boys. Okay? The boys. Okay. Okay? Okay. Yes. Okay. Good night, bitch. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappens commercial.

18:29Hey, everyone. And so Stephen is like, well, at least we're not out there planting a bunch of fields that don't make us money like we have in the past few years. Am I right? So you admit that that was like, so now you admit that like what we were stuck watching you do for all this time was worthless. Thank you.

18:52Are you there? I'm here. Oh, you got cut off for a minute so now you admit that what you know it's not even worth it i got cut off by like fate from hearing me complain about the soybeans or whatever um well the first season was them not being able to make money farming they couldn't make any money so then cole came in and was like well i'm gonna i think we should do some soybeans and they're like soybeans that is ridiculous how dare you i run this company i do not approve of soybeans and then cole went behind his back and did a soybean deal anyway without anybody knowing, which is so stupid because, like, multiple people have to sign off on your soybean deal.

19:31But then he did a soybean deal, and it actually made a little profit. So he's like, yeah, I can run this company because I'm a soybean, you know, acre or whatever. So, yeah, they can't make money doing anything. They suck. That's the whole point of the show and why I love it, because they're like, we're the real American cowboys, And they just fail at every single thing they do. And it's so hilarious. And every season starts the same way. How are we going to save this farm? We are going to do whatever we can do to save this farm. And every season ends with Stephen going, we are going to do whatever we can do to save this farm.

20:08And you just keep failing. You know, I was watering my little garden box two days ago. And I have one of those. I have like a flexi hose. that's like this soft, lovely hose. That's like, it's, it's so it's just, it just works so nicely. And I turned on the hose and it had sprung a leak. I'd never seen a hose spring a leak before. It had like two little things. I was like, Oh, that's weird. But I could still use it. Like it just was like a little sprinkler action. And I was like, what are the plants? And I was just like, I just was like, as I was watering the plants, I was like looking at those leaks.

20:45And I was like, I just wonder how that happened. And then all of a sudden the holding went, and it just like just like it went from being just at all just like it just like farted out water and then like now the hose was just totally useless and had to be thrown out and i was like this is the mcbee dynasty right here this is a hose this it's a stupid hose that sprung some leaks you think okay i can get through it okay it's fine they can get through it like and now it's just like farted out water and it's just like it's just here they are just like not being It's a junior hose. It's a flex hose that lasted about two minutes.

21:22These guys are just like, we don't know what we're doing. We're just a shitty hose. It's just like a visual metaphor for these guys running their farm. Well, they're terrible. So he's like, so now we're not, at least we're not planting fields anymore. You're about a farm. It's the McBee Farms. And Cole goes. Yeah, I think it's a pretty dry year if you ask me. Okay. So you think, yeah, well, there's already... What's that? I said no one was, but that's okay. Yeah, I can tell you there's already been a weight lifted off my shoulders going into this year, knowing we don't have to worry about farming at a farm.

22:06And that feels good. Well, I don't know. I mean, the weight's lifted off, but there's other areas of stress that's now being put on me because I got a house and I'm not, I don't know if I'm going to keep my land. What are we going to do about me keeping my land? I mean, we got many highlands and we got tallow business starting up, but like, which is good, but like that doesn't happen overnight. So like it takes time and like, I don't know what's going to happen. It's actually really fun watching them jump the shark in real time. It's like you're literally a farm and you're selling off your farmland and you're investing in tiny cows and tallow.

22:39And eventually later this episode, a podcast studio. And I'm just like, oh, you guys are really circling the drain right now. They're just idiots. And also, the car washes are the only businesses that they have up and running that we can see. I mean, don't forget about the meat company that they fucked up last year. They showed up late. Yeah. So, Cole's like, well, guys, I have something to tell you. I think we're going to get rid of these car washes because, you know, they just owe our money from the car wash. You just started the car washes. If they're not going to be profitable right away, how about you give up your house?

23:17Why don't you downsize rather than scuttling off all the car washes? Now, admittedly, I have been on the record saying, why do they have car washes? But as long as you're making that investment, I don't want to be on cost fallacy here, but you made that investment knowing that's going to take some time to make money off it. What's wrong with you? Yeah. It seems like it's going to be the only one that's actually working. You know, like, what do people need? A mini Highland cow or a car wash? People need, they're going to keep going to the car wash, guys. Okay. Wait, what if you take your mini Highland cow to the car wash?

23:54It's a mini Highland cow wash. You just strap it into that, like a bear belt thing, send it through and the rags will go left and right. and the swirly things will swirl around and the cow will come out looking beautiful. Sell them to cows and the wash to wash them. I think that's a really good idea. What if you put your car in the car wash and while you're waiting, a little Highland cow comes out to greet you with a coffee attached to its back from the counter? Yeah, we need some synergy here. Get it together, you guys. Fucking A. Or grow grains in the car wash. I don't know. precisely you got all that water flowing put some seeds down

24:38i feel like anything our ideas are better than anything that they've come up with so far on this show hold on we have to consult with the real marketing genius here ally oh yep a plus i've i proved this plan so brayden is like well i thought we were planning on holding out car washes and trying to grow them and stuff i mean i'm the most involved brother with this side of the business and i don't know if this is the right thing to do i mean we're doing everything we can to keep things pushing we can't just get rid of the car washes we can even sell them higher we're even going to get our money's worth out of what we build so steven's like well we'll get our money back but we wouldn't make any we wouldn't be making any money on them that's for sure that's okay though because we can spend we can spend more time journaling so cole's like yeah but it pays off all the debt and then suddenly tomorrow then everybody's company's profitable What companies?

25:32The cows and the tallow? I know. Your farmlands that aren't selling whatever they're growing. We saw them selling cows earlier this season, but they were like, we need to get$2 ,000 a cow in order to be profitable. And they're like,$1 ,200 a cow. Like, damn it. Well, better luck a cowboy Christmas. You know, honestly, it's not a bad idea for them, Cole. We have nine locations with the car washes, and they're worth$60 million to$70 million. And we have$44 million of debt on those car washes, so that'd be an additional$20-ish million that we'd have to pay off every other piece of debt we have across the entities.

26:13And then, or, instead of paying off our debt, we could buy$20 million worth of mini cows, and then on top of that $20 billion worth of cute little shoes from Cowboy Christmas that we can put on the mini cows. Mini cows and high heels. I like it. We'll put a blonde wig on them too. Oh god, they're getting hot now. I've got a new idea. Crocs for cats. Little tiny crocs that you put on cats.

26:45So Brayden's like Like, thanks for shutting down my section of the business. Really appreciate it. And Cole's like, well, I mean. Because Brayden's like the one. I think we don't see much of Brayden, but he seems like the one who actually has to go to work, too. Because he's like, but guys, what about these car washes? And they're like, well, who needs a car wash? And he's like, well, then what are we going to do without the car wash? Well, we're going to, you know, do what we normally do, sell cows. And he's like, great. so I'm going to be stuck up north in the freezing cold, cleaning cow shit for the rest of my life?

27:20Yeah. This was heaven to me. Do you understand? Spraying down the car before it went through the machine was like the best thing that ever happened. That was the most glamorous life I had ever chosen. I ever thought I was going to lead. And now you're sending me back to cleaning up cow shit in the winter? Just got to Braden, just like walking, like in a stone, like in a daze through the supermarket, just saying, would you like regular or would you like wax detailing wax detailing he just wants to make that offer to people it's like i don't know that's his happy life yeah yeah so cole's like well i'm gonna be honest i won't be sleeping my house i won't wake up in my own house you can get a different fucking house now you're gonna like you said before you're gonna put everybody else out of work ah jeez i hate this selfish ass family you also don't live in a house you literally live in community center.

28:12Okay. Yes. That is not a house. That is not a house. That is a place with bedrooms built in. People have 12 step meetings in that section over there. We have a daycare in this section. This is not a house. Okay. This is a public building. Sometimes at the same time, those kids are out of control at this point. You cannot tell me that that building that they call a house is a house. That is a piece of municipal architecture yes it's like a roller skating rink it's not like that is like a that is like the the student union on a on a small school that's not a house yeah so cole's like i'm not gonna lose my house i'm gonna not let go i'm not gonna let blair go through the oh for fuck's sake with your blair and your house you're selfish asshole just fuck everyone else's kids Blair doesn't care.

29:08Get just a simple two bedroom. It's fine. Would you have to build a literal yard inside of your house for your daughter to go into? Because your house is so enormous. That means your house might be too big. Just get a smaller house, bro. Honestly, I've been, quite frankly, furious ever since I watched the episode last night. and Stephen McBee Jr. walked in and he walked under the dual staircase. But he had to get to the quote-unquote sofas, which are just like Barker loungers while aligned next to each other. I don't know. There was something about Stephen going under that staircase. I was like, why is this designed this way?

29:50I hate this. It's terrible. I hated it so much. I never noticed it. I was like, you guys just have a dual staircase that comes up, but it's also open on the bottom. And it's like, but it's not really meant for walking under because you have to walk under. You have to like bend down to get under it. Like, why do you, why, why is it like this? Well, I wonder things like, why do I have to get a permit to fix my driveway and wait for the city and do all of this shit? When you guys are just allowed to build houses however you want by yourselves. I don't understand. Like, is there no government in this town or nobody stopping by?

30:26Like, hey, are these pipes connected correctly? Because you know they're not. oh oh it's a shit show down beneath those floorboards i'll tell you that much yeah yeah so uh steven's like well the bank has a lien on cole's house and they also have two car wash loans and i know that you know casey's pregnant again and god knows you know she'll probably be pregnant again tomorrow and i can only imagine the pressure that's on your shoulders so you know you're thinking wow well i have a house for my family to grow up in

31:00and cole's like yeah we would be able like we'd be able to sleep again at night that's what i want and i'd be able to like you know not lay there at three in the morning staring at the ceiling thinking about the worst case scenario actually be able to focus on the future cold you are not i'm gonna tell you this right now cole is he is snoring in that bed okay he is not staring at the ceiling at 3 a.m concerned about the future wondering about like what's gonna happen to this world there is no kindle ablaze in that house in the middle of the night because someone just can't stop their mind you know what i mean your mind hasn't started yeah that's that i'm just i'm just i don't see that happening for you cole i'm sorry you punched a hill last year i'm not imagining those many like things that are happening up there so britain then he's like and i've also decided it's probably time for us to clean it apart ways you know and i I don't see it happening without the car washes going because these are all Galena's thing.

31:58And now that dad's gone, we need to get rid of these damn car washes. And Brayden's like, wait, but dad, she's going to run to dad the second we tell her. And dad's going to be pissed. She's going to go to prison and tell dad. Then what are we going to do? And they'll go, he's in prison. What's he going to do? These guys, these kids are. And Stephen, Stephen Sr. is obviously a POS. So to even stand here and stand up for Stephen Jr. But I mean, Stephen Sr. But you guys, the second your dad goes to jail, you sell off everything and get rid of everything that he's built. Poorly invested. Yes. They say that they're so honest to family and this and that.

32:36You guys are not true to anybody. Jeez. Yeah, they immediately start doing all this stuff, dismantling this stuff. And they're acting like, well, he's locked up for life. He's coming out in two years at most. Because we all know he's a rich white guy in prison. then he'll be out in like three months. Yeah. Yep, pretty much. I don't know. What's Dan going to do? Oh, we'll see when he gets out. I want another season just so Steven Sr. will come back because now that he's not on trial or whatever, then he would probably shoot again and come rip them a new one, and I'd love to see it. It's been a big miss not having him on the show.

33:19He was the whole thing. yeah how are we gonna do to please daddy he's like nothing bunch of losers he'd hit them all against each other oh so good i miss you big guy well his his absence is felt deeply um it really is yeah r.i.p. r.i.p. um so where are we uh they still are trying to sell off the basically they They decide they're going to sell everything and get rid of Galena. So we go to Jesse and Allie's farmhouse. And Jesse is continuing his home update, which is, by the way, terrible. And Jake's like, well, I missed a few spots. I honestly thought you were sitting there watching football. I didn't know you was out here doing a whole home renovation project.

34:08And you're doing it. Look at you. We know where to watch football in here. So Jesse's like, yeah. Well, with everything happening up here, I wanted to make sure that Allie felt comfortable staying here with summer. So, you know what they say? Paint a wall a shade of beigey yellow and a lady will be happy. Here you go. It's kind of like a darker baby blue. Oh, I couldn't tell what paint was coming on, what one was coming off. Yeah, I think some of it is like a dark cream, but a lot of it is that dark baby blue. They love that blue. As we sit here with our craps on demand with basically all shades of like McBee blue, but they love like that kind of like Robin's egg blue on their walls.

34:52Like we do not have McBee blue. How dare you? You're right. You're right. But we do have a wall of blue. Every color on the internet right now is better than that color. Okay. But I just remember last year, like Casey and Cole, their house just had that like weird blue color on it that I could not stand on. Every single wall was sort of like sky blue. just looked so terrible um it's it's clung with me i thought i thought things would be better in the new home but once i really started to internalize that they live in a community center this vast open concept with a strange dual staircase um i i do pine for the blue walls again yeah well they're terrible and ally comes in and jesse's standing on the ladder it's like oh Oh, hello.

35:39So what are you doing in here? You're remodeling our house without telling me? Oh, wow. Also, it shows you the last time she's even been to this place. Because he's been doing this for a while. There's a lot done. Yeah, she clearly does not come often because he's like, I want to surprise Allie with a remodel. I'm like, wow. So she must really not come up here if you have enough time to do a remodel. And it's actually still a surprise. So he's like. And she doesn't fall all over herself excited. And so he takes it as a huge rejection. But she's got a good point. I mean, she's very passive aggressive about it.

36:16But she's like, oh, well, show me the bedroom. Oh, and he goes, you like it? Does it look good? She's like, well, I mean, you're choosing all the colors and all the fixtures and everything in it. So, you know, it's all up to you. So we'll see how it turns out. Yeah, because at one point. Like, it's a surprise. This isn't trading spaces. This is her home, too. Like, she's walking in. You choose everything. You have control over every single thing. And you're like, why aren't you happy? Meanwhile, there's shit all over her house. She can't bring the baby over now because the baby's going to breathe all this shit in.

36:50Ugh. Yeah. But, of course, she doesn't really have a wide range of emotions except, like, non-blinking smile and, like, light passive aggression. Okay. This wide-eyed smile. Ten days of intimacy. I don't know. Those sure look like expensive fans. Do they? Do they? It's a shitty Home Depot fan with a cage around the lights. You know, like an underground mine that they put the cage around the lights. It's like the lights that they put up in the scaffolding you walk under in New York City. Yeah. It's just, they've made that their decor. Are you afraid that the light is going to run away? What are we doing here?

37:35is the light about to go play lacrosse yeah is the light trying to protect its nuts from something like what are we doing here so ali's like um i'm really happy that jesse's renovating the house i was communicating to him that i wanted some changes made at the farm house so he listened to me in that aspect and but this is gonna fix our relationship by renovating the house i don't think so because i still need him to focus on quality time together and that's what we need right now and i'm just gonna smile I was hoping she'd be real enthusiastic and being real disbelief about it, but I guess I just can't do anything right.

38:14No, you controlling fuck. You should ask her what she wants and what color and like hand her some samples, like make her a part of it. What an ass. Here's a better idea. Burn your fucking house down. Just get rid of it. Get rid of it. Okay. Get rid of it. um here's some more advice get somebody in your town find somebody anybody maybe even if you have to go a couple of towns over they're called architects okay and if you can't find that okay just flip through a little further in the phone book and search for gay just look for just find a gay somebody or just just move into the car wash so um now we're at steven jr's house and we see a toiletries bag and it says Allie on it.

39:01But we're not totally sure who it belongs to. Just kidding. It's Allie. She's doing her makeup. I love this. This is so McBee Dynasty. We said through last week, well, Allie's moving to Texas. Won't be seeing Allie for a while. God, I'm going to miss Allie. It's just so sad she has to move to Texas. The sad thing about Allie moving to Texas is that she's just going to be out of sight of the mind. I'll never hear her again. Cut to this episode. Allie's just there putting on her makeup in Stephen's house. I was like, okay. Allie's back. Allie heard it was season finale time and got her ass back here.

39:30It's like, I'm not losing out on this. So she's sitting there on the floor putting on her makeup. And Stephen's like, well, you know, Allie, she just happened to be on a work trip that was passing through Missouri. So she stopped over in the middle. Oh, okay. Just what everybody does. That simple layover in Missouri. That easy layover in Gallatin. so a lot of a lot of flights make a lay over there so um she's like so are you glad to be back in Missouri she's like I feel like a bowling ball this morning which I have no idea what that means did she I don't either I mean I know her name is Allie but do you I was gonna try to form some sort of bowling alley joke there and honestly I realized it wasn't worth it it just wasn't worth it like she was crashed around a lot people kept putting fingers in her holes like i don't know nothing about bowling yourself at a turkey um that doesn't make sense you'd get a turkey did you get a turkey last night has galena threatened to throw you through a car windshield if she doesn't get her way like what are we going for here did a big metal thing sort of usher you on its way and then you end up in a tunnel and you're in the darkness and you're like what's happening and then suddenly you emerge and you're where you started and you're like, how did that happen?

40:51Well, it's relieving to know that the house has pretty much moved into. And he's like, yeah, so he's like, well, obviously the first trip down to visit your family threw a little bit of wrench in my initial timeline because I was planning on us getting married and now I don't have your daddy's, you know, now I have to question the decision. And when I want and I, when I know what I want and I see it, I grab it by the throat. I take it, I put it in a cage, and I say, stay, wife, stay.

41:23You know, maybe you should question that philosophy, because last time I checked, you now have a bunch of tiny cows. Exactly. When I see what I want, I get it. I want tiny cows. I want tiny cows, because daddy wouldn't let me have tiny cows, and I want my tiny cows now. Yep. Well, I don't want to have a timeline. I don't like to think in a timeline or ponder about it or think about whether it's the right decision or not. We know, bro. But, you know, I just make a decision and I go with it. I'm already for this one. I'm moving to Texas and we're going to be together and I'm spending all my time with you.

42:00And she's like, oh, well, that's a massive decision. And the show is almost done filming possibly forever. So, yeah, I'm not really sure about that. It's really important to me that my mom likes my boyfriend. She probably doesn't like you. Yeah, I don't. I think maybe we should take a step back from this. Got it. We'll take a step forward. Okay. Does your mom like a mini cow? Because we got one reserved for her. Listen, my gut is always right. When I want something, I do it. And there's nothing about having$40 million of debt that will tell me otherwise. And so Allie's like, yeah, but if we move in together and we talked about maybe getting engaged, I just feel like after meeting my family, my family hates you.

42:43Okay. When you threw my dad up against the kitchen wall and clutched his neck and said, you better fucking give me your blessing before I fucking marry your daughter. Cause I'm going to do it no matter what the fuck you say. He just really didn't like that. In fact, everyone's really weirded out by that. So yeah. Yeah. Like, um, I think my mom can sense like there's something like, I don't know. Like I, she described, I'm trying to think of the word she used. It was really poetic. Tiny Detroit rage? I don't know. I think we just, I guess they just were like a little concerned when you took the refrigerator and like threw it over on its side and everything came tumbling out and then you stomped on all the mustard jars.

43:24I think they just didn't quite understand that. And I just have to explain to them that that's just something you do. Yeah. So she's telling us she's spent too much time worrying about boys and going too fast with boys. and it's been boys, boys, boys. So now she's going to move in with her sister and she wants to do that. So she's like, maybe, I don't know about this. And he said, well, it's weird for me because we've lived together for two months. We've been on a TV show together. Nothing says staying together forever like being on a television show. I'm Bravo. Yeah, I think I just feel like a little dumb.

44:01I'm like, that's okay. We're just happy that you finally joined us. in our assessment of you. Well, at least we're all on the same page here. So she's trying to cry in the confessional. She's like, but she does it where she's just touching her under eye and I guess like getting the tear, but there's never anything wet here or in her eye. She just keeps going, yeah, well, it's just that like, I feel dumb and I'm just not used to people. Like everybody told me how he was, but I'm not really sure that I knew that he really is how he is, like with his anger and stuff. I'm like, you're going to get pink eye.

44:43Please stop this. She's just very literal about feeling like a bowling ball. She's like, she's honestly just trying to put her fingers into the holes. She's like, why can't I grab my bowling ball self? So he gives a speech where he's like, yeah, but earlier you said that you were the kind of person that's like out of sight, out of mind. So I'm worried that that means if I'm out of your sight that I'll be out of your mind. She's like, yeah, that's, I mean, basically what that means, which is why I want you out of my sight. Do you understand? Okay, so you're saying that there's a chance that we're still going to get married.

45:16She's like, well, like, it's really important that my mom cares. So my mom likes you. So because of my mom, I think we should just learn from the past. so basically i think she just said we're gonna take a step back right yeah she's she's basically like my parents didn't like you and um i'm not gonna say that on camera but they didn't like you and now it has me questioning because my last relationship was shitty so i want to make sure i'm doing the right thing and i have decided that um i need to make sure that there's like not a craven monster inside of you. So we're going to take it slow. Exactly.

46:01If I think that you're like, okay, and that was like a freak occurrence, then we can go forward. But like, if this is just the way it's always going to be, then bye-bye. Yeah. And it must have been really bad over there. Whatever happened in Texas must be a lot worse than they're saying. Because they're just saying, oh, he was a little stressed and distant from everybody because of all the business stuff. But we know he doesn't do business stuff. So I don't know if he had a fit over there or got in a fight with the dad or cursed her out in front of people or what happened, but it was bad. And it sounds like she's just saying, I want to take more time, but he takes that as like, oh, well, I had the rest of my life planned out and we were going to get married and we were going to have kids.

46:40Now I just feel stupid. Now I got dumped on TV. You're not going to marry me. It's like, it's all or nothing, you know? Yeah. Oh, he's just like desperate to cling on to something. Like, I think he's trying to construct an image. I think he has an idea of like, like what his life looks like. and it's like not coming to fruition. He's getting frustrated with it. And by the way, what happened in Texas, honestly, may not have, in my mind, I'm thinking he got into a fight with her or the family or something. It could have just been that he was raving like a lunatic after that meeting or raving at Bravo or whoever.

47:13He could have just been on the phone just making a fool of himself. But across the board, you just know everyone was like, this guy's like weird. I mean, if you're meeting the entire family over Thanksgiving and like the simplest thing you have to do is make a good impression and you can't even control yourself like yeah you need to really work on some shit not good commercials here comes one right now ronnie i'm gonna tell you a story i recently purchased a spanish cookbook and of course there's a paella recipe in there and of course then i'm like well i gotta get a paella pan so then i'm like okay what paella pan am i gonna get and i was like i want a cute paella pan i don't want to just get a generic one well Where am I going to get a cute paella pan?

47:54You know, one thing leads to another. And then I wind up on Whatnot. And lo and behold, there is a beautiful yellow painted vintage paella pan from Dansk right there. And I got it for less than$45. It was a steal because I also had seen that exact same pan elsewhere on the internet for over$80 or$90. Wow.

The two most charismatic people on Bravo. My dad. Yeah, it's a lot of lack. It's a lot of lacking of charisma. This is a sad scene. Yeah, lack. Lack is the great. It's just lack. Yeah. It's lack. Nothing but lack. but um this is a sad scene because first of all not even the mini highlands care about these two they go over like oh look at the mini highlands and mini islands are like don't even come over yeah and they're like well we'll pretend we have food come on cows we've got food no no they basically are like um the girls are kind of like thank god i have you like well first of all we're raising the next generation that's going to take care of these these cows slash maybe car washes that they're existing so probably just the cows and then ali's like she's like you know it's hard to get through here being a woman with this family like navigating it by yourself so to have you is like huge plus for me it's like a lot like please just speak in a smooth sentence for once but like it made me so sad they have no one they're isolated away and they're just are stuck with each other these guys don't pay them any attention or give them any respect and they just have to go along and raise the next generation of the mini cow feeders yeah and they're like what are all these businesses we're doing and nobody like they don't even talk to us about it and like um and then casey goes yeah i think the girls should take over the farm oh what what a dream a farm with no farming this farm doesn't have anything what are you talking about i think you I wish her dream would be like, I want my girls to take over the bus stop and wait for a bus that takes them to school and educates them of things that are beyond this farm.

52:09Because, you know, like I want to hear something of like, I have a dream that my daughter will escape this place and get the hell out of here because we're miserable. But they're like, yeah, we're miserable here. I can't wait till our daughters are miserable here, too. Like, come on, guys. Aim. Aim up. Like, literally aim up. Like, I'll be happy if Casey's new dream is just to see a second mountain. Okay. Like just anything, anything but this farm. Yeah. So depressing. And they're boring as fuck, but they seem like nice girls, you know? And it's like, and I actually have a, I have a weird thing where I like a really boring reality star.

52:43Sometimes like I love a very like normal person who's like not meant for reality TV because they're usually like very boring at first, but then layers start to come off and you see they're actually often more interesting and complex and complicated. than like someone like Allie who has just crafted herself for TV and they're just like, just like a persona that they just put on. But I never quite got there with these two. I was like, I was waiting, wait to be like, ooh, can't wait to see the inner workings of these two and see what's really going on. And there's like nothing there. It's like very sad.

53:13Yeah, it's depressing. So Casey has decided that she's going to stand up for herself and her tallow business. This is the basic ending of that. It's a very long scene where nothing happens. So then we go to Cole and Casey's home. Yes. I am going to win in this tallow business. I was like, good for you, you know? I mean, I feel bad for all the cows who are losing their kidneys, whatever the fuck this is. But, you know, good for you. So then we go to Cole and Casey's home, and there's an ultrasound photo of the new baby. And she's, you know, making a hand signal for, like, she's blinking twice. Like, how is the picture moving?

53:52Yeah. and this is where Stephen walks in and walks under the staircase, and then he picks up Blair, who's like, who the fuck is this? And then Cole is like, is everything all right? And he's like, well, I figured I'd come over and tell you guys that I'm not going to Texas. And Christy looks like gutted. She's like, oh! I mean, she has this look on her face, like this, who dared cause heartache for one of my boys because boys will be boys and you're not allowed to make the boys upset okay it's their way or the highway well you know that christy has done this whole routine a million times where steven finds some blonde girl that he's gonna marry and it's everything and it's his whole plan and then he comes and they have to pretend they like the girl and then things happen bad and then christy has to turn right into the villainizing the girl part and so she's already ready but she's so happy that he's not leaving and she's trying to hide it but she's like oh wow you know people do break up it happens all the time don't even worry about it people date they break up yeah people you know it's just what happens in relationships you get in a relationship and then some people just pray yeah it's fine and her her voice is so high pitched and i know loud you can tell that she's just psyched but also that like the way stephen pitches it too is kind of fucked up because he's like, he's like, well, you know, like I, you know, I think she was like, I think we should slow down a bit.

55:23And it's like taking up a bit of emotional toll on me. Okay. Because if we slow down, that means that we write our journal slower. If we write our journal slower, that means that we won't be able to have time to work on our memberships because we're writing our journal so slowly. I can't do that. He's like, I thought I was up and moving to Texas for a bit. It's just embarrassing because we did come on so hot and heavy. And then Christie's like, well, I fell for it too. Like Ali had had like manipulated them and had like done some sort of, you know, misdirection deception. I mean, Ali may have may have oversold her feelings for Steven probably to be on TV.

55:59I'm not usually conspiratorial, but Ali is sort of giving that vibe, but like, please, this is, this is Steven being a crazy person. They're both that type, you know, it's like he, she wants to go on his TV show. Of course. I think that's natural. And I think he likes the fact that she's an influencer and has all these followers and she's kind of famous. And, you know, they both like that, I think, about each other. But Christy, yeah, her auto turned into villainizing the woman is that line. That's what I thought, too, where she's like, yeah, I fell for it, too. Uh-oh, Steven Jr. tricked by another Jezebel.

56:37Another Jezebel. Cole's like, dude, people break up all the time. They meet people and you have fun for a few months and you can be thankful for it. It's sort of like how I went from Kool-Aid to grape soda. You know, sometimes you just have fun with one thing for a little bit and you go the next, right? And Chrissy's like, yeah. There are some people who just have a fun time and then that's it. I mean, I wouldn't know. Me and Casey met in the first grade and we've still been together ever since. But Jesse, you know, he wouldn't know about it either. They met in kindergarten. They're still together kind of mostly some of the time.

57:06But, you know, we don't know what this is like. But, yeah, I hear about it on the Internet. People meet and then they break up and they meet other people. And then Chrissy is telling us, she's just like nodding at us the entire time. She just is like nodding the entire time. She's like, you know, I know he's really ready to settle down and start a family. And I thought, you know, he had me, you know, he had met the right person and it'd be his lifestyle. And it didn't end up happening. I'm like, Chrissy, are you on like at the back of a wagon? Why is your head shaking so much when you're telling the story?

57:37She's like nodding. She's like, it's going to be okay. It's going to be okay. It's like, you don't have to nod for us. Like, we don't care if it's okay or not. Well, we just started off so strong. And I thought, you know, we both got caught up in it. And we thought we were going to get married and settle down. But then real life happened real quick, you know. Well, real life is you losing your temper and freaking out and treating people like. Yeah. Like treating people like shit, Steven. Come on. Christy's like. It's just disappointing. I think I was caught up in this fairytale world too. And I think I just want it so bad for Steven.

58:13I'm like, Christy, you got to get yourself a hobby. Like Mahjong, just read an old time magazine, anything. Like you're way too wrapped up in your son's love life. And if you want it so bad for, I mean, Christy has been on the receiving end of Steven's attitude. We saw it on TV where she stood up to him about one little thing. He's like, how dare you? You know, so if you really want better for Steven, suggest therapy, not dating. Yeah. So Christie's like, selfishly, I'm glad you're not going away. Blair's glad too. And Casey's like, yeah, Blair, Stephen's staying. Yeah, Uncle Stephen's staying.

58:50Blair's like, I just shot my pants. That's all I care about right now. Could you please change me? Blair's like, okay, here's my first words, everybody. I would like to take a step back. okay

59:05what blair's finally walking but it's back it's backwards blair's like can i move to new york

59:15and then of course casey is here too and she's just like rolling her eyes and smiling like she just she's like told you so and i thought well surely she's not just gonna start an i told you so thing because who does that when someone just gets dumped but of course casey's like told him so i she does if anyone deserved to do it and she does glad he was she was right it's the first glimmer of personality we've seen in her in two years Yeah It's her being so happy so she's like well I mean I do feel happy that he I mean I do feel bad seeing him upset about his breakup with Ali but it shows me exactly why I don't want Ali involved in the tallow business yeah so now we go to Stephen Jr's house and Sitka his dog is in the truck and he's like the last 48 hours with Ali I've been on roller coaster ride We've had some very, very, very tough conversations about our relationship.

1:00:17They've not been tough. It's her saying, I'm moving to Texas. Stop following me. It's a very dry conversation. I'm moving and you're saying, me too. And her saying, no, you're not. Okay. I told Allie, I was like, I want to come to Texas. And she's like, well, I told Stephen exactly what I was going to do with my move. Like going to Texas, building my businesses, which maybe. I don't know what my business is, but I'm going to build it. and I'm just like scared that he expected me to like drop all that and just like fully immerse my life I'm like she's like basically like I'm not doing this no goodbye yeah so then um Galena goes into chicken coop she's like can I have my eggies or you will die they're like okay they just start shooting eggs out yeah poor chickens they're all terrified of Galena but we told stories about galena our great great great great grandmother ginger wrote a text warning us of galena yeah they see galena coming they're like don't make eye contact um so then uh then we randomly see brayden jesse and jake just shirtless in like a hot tub and but jake is holding a chicken, which seems on brand for him.

1:01:32And he's going to protect the chicken from Galena, I guess. Yeah. He doesn't want her to choke the chicken before they all choke each other's, right? In that hot tub. And Jake's like, yeah, there's three guys in the chicken in a hot tub and nothing to say here. So then we go to Steven Jr., his house, and it's a meeting with him and Casey. And Casey just walks in like, hi, told you so. Would you like something to drink? Yeah, I'd like a told you so on the rocks. It'd be great. Told you so, loser. And then he takes Casey through this, quite frankly, it's like a serial killer basement. It's just like plastic hanging and drywall.

1:02:13It's definitely the thing where it's like Jodie Foster will be going through there and being stocked in night vision glasses and getting caught up in the plastic. But then at the end of it - Something nobody ever wants to hear a Steven Jr. say, wanna come see my basement? I know. and Casey is the type of go sure and Casey does sort of look like the lady in the well so she does so they go and I have to say the first thing I've ever been impressed with with the show Stephen has built a really good podcast studio I was so jealous I was like this fucker has a good podcast studio that's not fair it was so good the wood paneling the little lights on the side the little panel the roadcaster the chairs the space the carpet I was like, fuck you, but you're a good podcast studio.

1:02:58I'm so mad. It was a cute little studio. It was so good. So she's like, well, you know, I told you about this thing with Allie because you were going to give her 20 % of the Tala business. I didn't want you to do that. So I'm glad you see that I was right. And he's like, yes, yes, Casey. Yes, yes, I get it. You're right. It's like, yeah. So like with the Tala thing, I was right. and so uh basically steven's like showing her like the whole uh this whole studio and he's in case he goes well now that you and ally broke up who's gonna be the co-host for the podcasts and like were steven and ally gonna be doing a podcast together or was it gonna be casey and ally it was gonna be like tallow talk today on tallow talk well we killed another cow we got More tallow.

1:03:53You want to put it on your face, Allie? Still can't get a mini Highland to come close to me, but my pores look good. I think the podcast, they do a podcast. I don't know if they do it still, but I remember they were doing a podcast because I saw little clips from it. But no, it wasn't Allie. It was Stephen. It was the family. I think it was like Stephen and his mom about how his mom will go off to tell off commenters and stuff because she gets really mad about people being mean to her family. So Stephen McBee co-hosts the weekly podcast, More Than McBee, alongside Ali Eklund. So he was doing it with Ali.

1:04:32Oh, there we go. So I guess they were back together. I mean, the show is so fake. Like I just looked up if the car washes were sold and they said the car washes weren't sold. And I read that Galena still works there. and Allie and this guy stayed together because they broke up at that stagecoach festival when he was putting out those disgusting, when he sent her all those disgusting texts, like, you whore, you slut, and all of that stuff. So I don't know, I think it's all just kind of fake, but I buy it while it's here. That's why I Googled everything to find out if it's real. Yeah. So Steven is like, Yeah, I'm just someone that jumps in with both feet forward with someone that's just like, come back to buy me a couple of times.

1:05:14Like, me, I mean, with the tallow business, I feel you. Cole and I, like, taking it on together. Like, we really blow this thing up. Like, we can blow up the tallow. We can just take a bunch of tallow and just detonate it. Like, put a bomb in the tallow. And guess what? We maybe put some, like, we could either put some pink or some blue in that tallow, too. It could be a gender reveal, gender reveal tallow. Oh, my God. It's all coming together. Now, this is why I'm jumping to two fever. Steven, stop declaring that you jump in with, like, both feet first whenever you have an idea as if this is some virtue.

1:05:41I mean, this is the most straight white guy thing of all time to be like, I have a thought about something. I'm just going to motor forward with it because I know I'm right, because I'm told that I'm right. So therefore you all have to get on board with what my stupid destructive thought is because I'm right. And it's up to you to cater everything to me like that. He is the epitome of this. And the fact that he keeps on like declaring that he's just the sort of guy that when he gets an idea, he just goes for it. like this is actually a great thing instead of actually putting some like critical analysis into your decision or weighing some pros and cons or think about how it could impact people.

1:06:16You know, it's like maybe with certain things, it's like, hey, are you going to make chicken tonight or steak? You know what? I'm going to have chicken. I'm not even thinking about it. I'm just going to make chicken. Sure. I love the mentality for that. A decisive dinner. But for like business where people are involved, like it's okay to like pump the brakes a little bit. Or like think about things for a minute. I mean, we've seen so many delusional people succeed on Bravo. So it's not the delusion. I mean, there are so many people who are like, I'm going to do this thing. Like, I'm going to be a singer.

1:06:45Look at Countess Luann. Countess Luann can't sing. And she's like, I'm going to be a cabaret star. And she's delusional. And she thinks she's the most amazing singer on the planet. And she's still doing well. I mean, she's still selling out tours. I mean, she's killing it. Yeah, she faked it till she made it. So, right. But there are so many people who are delusional and who do well, but they stick with something and they work. Stephen doesn't. He just throws these ideas that tells everyone else to do them and then leaves and then comes back and is like, why is it a failure? Like they don't stick with anything.

1:07:14But then he, but then he, but then he like wraps himself up in this mythology of like, I'm just this guy who just jumps in head first and someone wasn't ready. And I, I get my heart broken because I jump in head first and then people don't jump in the same way. And then I get hurt and I, it's like, no, like you don't get a sob story because you were stupid. Like you don't get a sob story for like, if you run into traffic. Because you decided that was the moment you wanted to cross the street. I'm not going to be like, oh, look at that guy. He follows his heart. Like you ran into the street frogger.

1:07:46Like, wait your turn. Well, and the other person has a choice whether they want to be in the relationship too. Like you have to ask them. Like he didn't even ask her. He wasn't like, hey, as you're moving to Texas, I really loved spending time with you. And I was thinking maybe I could get, you know, what do you think about me coming down there and spending more time there? He's just like, I'm thinking I'm moving to Texas. She's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. He just decided. I mean, admittedly, it also kind of felt fake. I mean, this is obviously like a reality TV storyline that was concocted.

1:08:17But still, you don't get a medal because you decided to plunge forward in a stupid idea. Well, as far as this business, he tells her, okay, I've decided you can do what you do best, which is, I guess, make towels and put stickers on them. and then I'll do what I do best. And she's like, the internet part? He's like, yeah, the internet part. He's not going to do that. He hasn't done anything for this. So she's happy as pie. So now they can actually get to work, guys. What a partnership. Now let's go down to the big city, okay? Is that the sound of an ambulance and a firetruck going by? The clatter of hills on the sidewalk?

1:09:00the sound of a subway rumbling under the surface. That's right, we're at Ali's city house and she's ready to go out on the town. She has put on her finest leopard print skirt and she's gonna go and join her pleathered up ladies as they leave the cul-de-sac and go to the bar at the end of the cul-de-sac. Watch out, city people, she's here. I actually thought the ladies looked kind of cute. The most problems I have on the show are the men's fashion. The men going out in Vegas was one of the funniest fucking things. Oh, that was awful. The men coming out in slow-mo with those, like, southwestern patterns, you know, and all the bright colors.

1:09:38I was dying laughing. But this scene, you know, I really do. I talk like I'm so cynical, but I do fall for everything. Because they showed Jesse lying on the bed in glasses. And I was like, oh, my God. I love him now. He's so smart. He's changed. He has glasses. Look at him reading Chaucer.

1:10:00So, but then that made me that all he had to do was open his mouth. And I was like, fuck this guy, because she's like, I'm going out. I'm going out for girls and you can stay with the baby. And he's like, no, me. You stay with the baby with me. I'm not doing that alone. She's like, no, you do it. You're the dad. You can do it. And he's like, what if she poops? Do you forget that just a couple episodes you were trying to convince us that you were Mr. Mom, putting the putting the video on the baby. so you saw her on your phone every two seconds, the baby monitor or whatever. Now we find out you won't even change your damn baby diaper.

1:10:34Jesse, fake it better, babe. These are guys that literally handle cattle and cattle shit and killing cattle and butchering and planting soybeans and mini highlands. They are dealing with things that are so, it's like baby poop on a much larger scale. And it's like, oh no, a tiny baby may poop into something that is designed to catch the poop. What do I do? What do I do? I'm not used to dealing with feces. Now, excuse me while I go walking cow manure. Yeah, the other part of their business is like, wait until we've slaughtered a cow, skinned it, pulled all the meat off it, and then have the parts left over to squeeze with our hands until we make tallow that Casey can mix some vanilla into, and then we can sell that.

1:11:25And they're like, baby poop. disgusting we just saw you inseminate a cow okay i think you can handle a diaper i'm never gonna forget that you can handle a diaper i'm not saying it's pleasant i'm just saying relax yeah so he's doing the typical like oh man i have to babysit my baby i mean that's not called babysitting when you're the dad. So it's that kind of deal. And Allie's like, I want to see more effort from Jesse. Babe, you've never gotten effort from Jesse. Jesse is not going to just suddenly one day wake up and sprout effort. He's not a seed. He's Jesse. You're trying to get water from a dead well, okay?

1:12:14You're trying to pull water from a stone. Go to a different well. It's not going to happen. He used up all his effort when he built that octagonal arch for your wedding. And now it's done. Even that was a season long. What? How do I build the octagon? Or even getting him to be married. It's just too much. It's too much. So anyway, she goes out. She has put on a cute little leopard skin, something or another. and so she walks out and she meets up with Tegan and Casey and they go to, they're going to go out to a bar. They go to a brightly lit sports bar. They turn on every light in the sports bar and they just like sit in the corner of the bar, like right by the front door.

1:13:04And they're just like, well, we did it. But they drive over there first. They have a conversation in the car. This is the longest scene I've ever sat through on Bravo. well and i you know i do stand up for this show a little and say you know it's fun to watch because at least it's messy and whatever but this is painful so they get in the car and they're talking about ali's terrible relationship then they get which by the way we should mention that tegan tegan got ali a dildo and ali was like oh my god and she got embarrassed it gives people like you forgot about the dildo scene areas it was noted it was hilarious um continuing on then they go to the bar and talk about nothing and then talk about her terrible relationship some more.

1:13:44And I just I've already heard about your terrible relationship too much. And I'm just going to say it again. Go to a different well. OK, you don't deserve any of this, but you're not going to get anything from that. The soda machine is depleted. Go to the next one. The ice cream machine at McDonald's is broken. Go to the next McDonald's. OK, don't just sit at the drive through. Wait, are you just going to skip over the part where they propped up a phone on the hood of their car and did a tick tock? because that was pretty exciting. Literally, I saw the scene come in my notes and just went,

1:14:20oh man. Yeah, they just have a very sad girls' night. Like I wanted them to have like a crazy fun girls' night, get drunk, like woo! But they're just like sitting there like, mm-hmm. You know what was missing? Masha. Where's Masha been? You talk about the terrible storytelling on this show often. that was a big one there's just masha's gone now that's it i mean i know it's because steve mcb senior went to jail but you guys have been trying to push on masha's storyline this entire season no they don't know what they're doing with this the show like i like there's just there's just no through lines the one possibly interesting twist that ali started creating rumors that steven and casey were like up to no good together potentially having an affair they like introduced that like the third to last episode and they wrap it up at the beginning of the next episode it's just like it's it's like they're they just don't even know what they're doing did they didn't even wrap up they just agreed to say they don't want to talk about anymore oh yeah oh god all right so now let's go to the mcbake car wash um this monstrosity you're right this thing is huge it's huge it's enormous um so uh the brothers are in the car they're they're all sitting there in the conference room and Stephen's like, any last minute thoughts?

1:15:40Has there ever been like a first minute thought? That's what I'd like to know. By the way, how much does Cole owe on his house that they need to get $40 million? Anyway, well, I think that all the land is going to get seized. I think that's the issue. Yeah, I think they're trying to get this. I think they're trying to kind of downplay this. Be like, well, it's just the same Cole's house. You're all fucked. And I thought that Jesse was in trouble too with this stuff. You know what? Keep talking. I'm going to look this up.

1:16:16Anyway, so they go, they bring in Galena. And they're like, well, roses are red, piles are blue, car washers are old, we'll get rid of you. She's like, but the thing is this, we know this is your livelihood. Well, you know, you put in all this time and effort into it. But Cole decided to build a house out of land that he wasn't even his. And that house is more important. So, bye. Okay, so here it is. And this is from the progressivefarmer.com. Lincoln, Nebraska, Gallatin, Missouri. Slot. Okay, they say Lincoln, Nebraska, dash, dash, Gallatin, Missouri. Okay, so everybody got their locations? Okay.

1:17:03Farmer and reality TV star Steve McBee and his sons, Cole and Jesse, are scheduled for trial in a lawsuit alleging the father fraudulently transferred assets to his sons to avoid paying a court judgment in his crop insurance fraud case. Yeesh. So this is for 2027. Yikes. I'm dead. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No, it's okay. Say it again. Say it again. Say it again. I got a text in the middle. Well, Jesse Cole and the dad have to go to trial in 2027 because he is being accused of illegally transferring properties into their names to avoid them getting caught up in his last trial, basically. So he didn't want to pay, you know, in the judgment or whatever.

1:17:50He didn't want to have to use any. He didn't want to lose anything. So he transferred everything illegally into their name. So now they're fucked. Let me tell you something. if we could get some competent production values and like decent storytelling on the show i'm all in i'm all in on watching these this this fraud situation going on let's i hated the first season of real housewives of dubai and there were like two or three maybe even four there were like three seasons of new jersey that i hated deeply deeply deeply and then you know like i loved the second season in dubai i thought new jersey then became you know for me a premium season a premium show like these shows can become amazing even something as dreadful as this one could become amazing if you've got like this shit on the horizon i'm gonna say bravo if you're gonna bring it back bring it back but like get get like your get the proper people behind like this is just like and i'm not it's like no shade to the production company that made this show because they've done a lot of other shows they know what they're doing but i don't know if they know what to if that know what to do for Bravo.

1:18:56I think this is just not, something's like not connecting here. Put the rony people on this show, the old school rony people. Get the Salt Lake City people on this. Get it to where it needs to be, okay? Yeah, do something. So Stephen's like, okay, I've been thinking about this. I still think it's a good decision. And Brayden's like, I mean, she's going to be upset. Oh yeah, she's going to be upset. But you know, there's a lot of good comes from this for us. I mean, for two guys, because, you know, when we transfer the car washes, car washes wants the same leadership. He goes through the whole thing like, oh, they're going to be first.

1:19:32I'm sure it's going to get a huge package now from these whoever buys the car wash. Everyone knows when you buy a car wash, there's just so much disruption. You must keep the same people employed for three to five years. You just I mean, you just you just don't want to suffer the blowback that comes with changing out car car wash administration. Yeah. So they go get Galena and she comes, you know, dressed head to toe in leather looking. I mean, she's just dressed to the nines. And it's hilarious that she's working at the car wash. She looks so good. She's like, hello, it is me, car wash lady, head of president car wash.

1:20:08well what this just in i just secured deal for a great package of pine tree air fresheners so my value speaks for itself i did not realize we are having meeting today would anyone like a giant latte okay we just wanted to tell you you know oh go ahead go ahead does anyone want a frozen and Snickers bar from the machine downstairs. You are at Car Wash Royalty right now. Well, how are you doing? Good. Okay, good. That's good. Just looking around here. Oh, wow. Look at that. Look at that window. You like that window? I do. Okay. Small talk down. I wanted to bring you in and tell you something we've been thinking about.

1:20:56We're selling the car washes. She's like, uh, okay. Okay. Yeah, I know the plan was to wait until we had more operations to sell, but now's the time because we got banks getting nervous, and Cole's going to lose his house, and selling car washes could be a clean slate debt-wise. So, sorry, sad horns, but everything you worked for, who cares? But don't worry. You're going to get a payday being president of whatever country takes this car wash. Okay? You may be moving, but you will get full citizenship and car wash health care. Okay? you'll have car wash immunity for the next 90 days so then she's like i mean are you kidding me i mean they have not been involved in the car wash operations and they absolutely do not know the financial state of the car washes and she's saying this whole thing about like you made a decision about my life but you didn't even ask me about my life i'm like well galena they are the boss like i hate to break it to you but it's not up for for the brass to ask about their employees lives before they do layoffs they just do it well and and but and you also knew who you were like you knew that like you've been around this family you know they're shitheads and you know they're only out for themselves so i mean that's true but galena like built these car she built these car washes kind of herself and she's the only one who really works at any of these places and i think she's like these guys don't even know what's happening what do they mean they're gonna sell And you see on her face that she's like, your dad's not going to let you guys do this.

1:22:27But then they don't really get the reaction they want out of her because she's like, okay, well, great. And she's staying pretty calm. And so Stephen's like, we made the decision and the boys are behind it. And we can't take the stress. The boys are starting family. Cole's on his second kid. God knows when his third's going to come out. Probably won't even wait the whole nine months. So he'll probably have five this year, the way they're going. So we got to do something. Because I need to be able to sleep at night in my house knowing it's still going to be there. Not that Galena needs to support herself or has that.

1:23:01I know, right? Has anything. But why do you guys, again, making decisions on my behalf? That's like happening in the past with your dad. Like, he always would make decisions like what he thinks is good for everybody. Like, I can't believe his sons would do the same thing. Galena, you're the most pessimistic person about being laid off. God, it's ridiculous. Here's what I like about you, Galena. you're about five foot seven you are blonde you do concentrate on memberships unfortunately actually your journaling is actually very good too because you type very very fast okay i do appreciate that you said you want to get married do you want to get married right now kalina we do appreciate that you sent your daughter to the private school of your choice and i do like

1:23:52i do like that you wake up one hour later than me to allow me my time to journal about memberships that way i can journal from 4 to 6 a.m to finish journaling whatever i didn't journal from 10 to midnight which is because i journal before i go to sleep i wake up and journal some more just in case anything happens in the middle of my sleep um and she's like but what are you doing he's like well the banks are calling us and i don't know if my house could be gone next week and i hope everything will go for you good working for you new company and all that but at some point we gotta worry about ourselves and our family and um she's telling us that she's treated them like family and of course they're not treating i mean look you know galena is my hero but just for the other side you were the housekeeper for their mom and dad while they were married and then you started sleeping with the dad and so it's not she's like i treat you like family so on that aspect i gotta say but still 100 galena because this is really selfish to just be like we all made a decision.

1:25:06We're selling them. And then they still are not getting the reaction, right? So Cole ups it. Because she just says, got it. And he goes, well, I'm going to be honest, Galena. We want what's best for you, but it's time for us to cut ties and go our separate ways. So then she's like, they don't get the reaction so they're like, and now you're out of the family too. We don't even want you anywhere around here. Yeah, because it was before it was like we're selling it, but maybe we'll figure out something for like you can get a package or like maybe it could have even been like oh oh maybe we'll relocate you in the business and she's like oh she's over taking it that far you guys are getting rid of me oh so what's going to happen i treat you guys like family and like i feel like you guys are like trying to make decisions like like you're a family and like it's like we decided it's like good for you but like i need to make a decision what's good for me and it's like it's not your decision and so she's like what the fuck and she goes you know on this note, if you chose to make it personal, then let's go ahead and make it personal.

1:26:08And then she just gets up and goes, and you're like, okay. And then they're like, okay. Where's she going? Where's she going? Where's she going to make it personal? And so she heads on out. She heads on outside. At this point, I thought, okay, they're going to make it look like she's going to do something crazy, but she's just going to go to her car and leave. But thankfully for Galena, she finally did something. It allowed for something interesting to finally happen on this show. they run to the wall of cameras like we don't have to actually move guys because there's cameras we can look at them please don't make me run to the to the downstairs area so she goes downstairs and we see her we see her on the cameras and we just hear clink like she takes something off the wall what is she taking out what is she taking is that a fucking crowbar and then she walks out to his truck and wait a minute she ain't gonna hit your truck is she and then bam she just bashes out all the windows of the car and we just hear smash and then we hear clink clink clink clink with the bar being dropped on the ground and then we see her truck just speeding away yes i was actually i was cheering at my house it was the first time all season i felt something and i just was laughing i was like good for you good for you that's so funny so they come down and they're so shocked first off why was the glass on the outside of the car that's weird i watch a lot of crime shows I guess they wouldn't have broken it from the inside anyway No, because it was probably fake That's a good point They probably opened the door and broke it from the inside They were like, well, when we stage this scene We don't want it We don't want to actually have to get glass in the car Let's do it safely So that's exactly what happened They opened the door and they bashed it from one direction It fell out on the thing and they closed the door again Because I noticed that was weird, you know Like if you're a crime scene person and um but i mean i can't believe oh go ahead but that being said you know living in la you see a fair number of like um post on the street break in and there's always glass on the sidewalk so i think there's like a coating on the window so if you're using a crowbar which has the angle at the ends right that's why it's a crowbar you hit it and so maybe when you're pulling the crowbar out it pulled the glass out maybe even the glass was like i don't want to have anything to do with the mcb then the glass was like i'm gonna fall the other way the sense of this car is too much the mcb car wash did it in um but the other thing that was cracking me up is that they're like i can't believe galena would do this how could you not believe it she just did it last year wait no it was the first season when they went it was last year too no it was last year when they went to the family retreat at their place in nashville or whatever and masha showed up and then stephen senior was there it was one of the episodes he was actually kind of there and then they woke up and wasn't it stephen jr's truck that was back they show they show it right here they show it right here they have a whole series of like kalina goes crazy montage we see oh i thought they just showed where she crashed into masha or she crashed masha's car she's like i will deliver masha's car and then she like wrecked the car into something and they're like, hey, what happened to Masha's car?

1:29:20She's like, I don't know. I just remember when they pulled that frying pan out of the dishwasher and it was like warped and they're like, what happened? Like, I don't know. So then - Yeah, I think they just showed that one, but they didn't show her breaking all the windows. Well, we didn't see her do it, but someone broke all the windows of the truck when Steve McBee had Masha to Nashville. Someone did. So Stephen is like, we bit you hell. Hell of a lot. And Galena's going, Scorch Earth was not in our cards, says the guy who is like the little scorcher of Earths. And so then Bridget's like, I didn't think it would go that bad.

1:29:57He's like, well, we're selling these things as soon as we can. She's gone. And Cole's like, it's not been too much fun these last few years with my daddy's situation. And like, yeah, from car washes to getting rid of all of our row crop, like growing our cat our grow crop i mean growing our cattle side there's just so much going on like not in your head victims oh my god everything happens to us and then steven gives his normal monologue well at some point i feel like our life is gonna settle down and our timeline just gets extended out because every year gets crazier our backs are up against the wall the banks are calling us non-stop.

1:30:34It's going to be really tough to make this work, but I'll be damned if I don't save the farm. Can't wait to find out. Yeah. Well, hopefully it all works out well for your tiny cows. Hope you can save a little plot of land for them to eat some grass. Seriously. Winnie's like, we, Galena, it is time for us to concentrate on something this family can truly profit off of long-term. Tiny cows, and Trendy Tallow. One thing that's going to save this farm? Teeny tiny cows that have a niche appeal to a niche audience of people who have land for tiny cows. And that's going to save us all. Oh, geez. Well, goodbye.

Or understanding Tom Schwartz's purpose on the Valley. In a world full of confusing choices, thank goodness for Nature Raised Farms. They believe that food shouldn't be complicated. Especially chicken. But the freezer aisle often makes it that way. Too many options, too many additives, too many compromises. Do I like complicated chicken? No. No. Chicken should be fun. Complicated chicken, not fun. Chicken should meet a higher standard, and Nature Raised Farms is free from gluten, dairy, and soy.

1:35:02There are no seed oils and no artificial ingredients. Also, Nature Raised Farms chicken is a good source of fiber and only between 8 to 12 grams of fat per serving dependent on the product. Chicken, that's just chicken. When food is that simple, there's a quiet joy in it. And we love quiet joy. Like the moment Erica Jane puts down her microphone. Keep your life simple with your new favorite chicken. Nature Raised Farms Chicken. Because chicken shouldn't be complicated. This message is brought to you by Cologuard.
