Episode Overview

Ben and Ronnie dive into episode six of "McBee Dynasty" Season 3, titled "In the Tallow Now." As Steve Sr.’s prison sentence looms, the McBee family (and businesses) are in chaos, from the emotional fallout of his departure to squabbles over farm headquarters and soap-making startups. The Crappens hosts bring their signature irreverent tone, roasting the McBee clan and Bravo’s reality-editing, and pondering everything from cold barn houses to influencer equity.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Countdown to Steve Sr’s Prison Sentence

• The ticking clock: The episode opens with the family reeling as only days remain before patriarch Steve Sr. reports to prison. Ben pokes fun at the over-the-top doom:
  • “The countdown clock continues. One thing I also don’t like about this show is that it always feels cold. These big drafty houses…” (04:08)
• Blair, the toddler: Steve Jr. laments the impact on young Blair, exaggerated as life-shattering. Ronnie responds:
  • “Blair ain’t gonna give a fuck either way at one or three. Okay? Blair does not care.” (03:47)

2. The Farm and HQ Melodrama

• Mourning farm HQ: The family eulogizes the loss of their generic corporate office as if it’s a beloved ancestral seat. Ben finds it hard to muster sympathy:
  • “I cannot be moved to care about your stupid corporate headquarters farm headquarters being sold off.” (15:01)
• The house is always cold: Both hosts fantasize about the McBee heating bills and the impracticality of their massive, cement-floored barns.

3. Chicken/Possum Hijinks

• Farm animal antics: Masha freaks out about a raccoon in the chicken coop; turns out it’s a possum.
  • Ronnie: “If I hear there’s a raccoon just sleeping with chickens in broad daylight, I’m like, that’s rabies right there.” (05:35)
  • Ben: “Luckily, it was not a raccoon. It was just a possum. Doing what I generally do during the show. Nap.” (06:17)
• Flashback to last year’s “chicken drama” between Masha and Galena, which Ben dubs:
  • “A whole plot line of crazy Russian ladies fighting each other over some disgusting man, and one taking revenge by kidnapping chickens.” (06:53)

4. The Tallow Business Drama

• Casey’s kitchen enterprise: Casey’s new tallow (beef fat) skincare venture operates out of her fridge, despite claims of a multimillion-dollar business.
  • Ronnie: “Really? I thought this was, like, a big $5 million business. You’re just keeping the tallow in your fridge?” (21:49)
• Equity squabble: Stephen Jr. attempts to force Casey into giving his girlfriend, Ally, 20% of the business for “marketing.”
  • Ben: “She should not be giving 20 away to some twit.” (22:52)
  • Ronnie: “You can’t tie your entire company to one influencer. That’s also legit crazy.” (53:15)
• Negotiation meltdown: Stephen bullies Casey about giving away equity, leading to a heated argument and Casey leaving in tears.
  • Ronnie: “He sits there and talks to me like a child, like, the whole time. And I just want to go home.” (56:26)

5. Love and Influencers: Steven and Ally

• Thanksgiving in Texas: Steven Jr. chooses to spend what could be his last Thanksgiving with his father in Texas, meeting Ally's family, instead of with his own soon-to-be-incarcerated dad.
  • Ben: “Your dad is going off to prison in a week…and you are going to spend that last Thanksgiving at Ally’s house.” (34:36)
• Marriage and ring talk: Steven and Ally’s relationship speeds along, with engagement talk, ring specs, and discomfort over “moving too fast.”
  • Ronnie: “He’s literally talked to you about nothing but marrying you since we’ve seen you guys on this season.” (40:06)

6. Galena & The Car Wash Confrontation

• Galena’s focus is questioned: The brothers complain that Galena is too wrapped up in influencer events, not business.
  • Ronnie: “This company is a failure…it’s a huge failure. Every single season, you’ve lost bigger and bigger chunks of this company.” (28:45)
• Galena claps back: She throws them out of the office.
  • “You think I do nothing? Get out of this office.” (31:12)

7. “Succession” Parody: Leadership Change

• Zoom ‘stakeholder’ meeting: The family gathers at the farm’s car wash for a “Succession”-esque meeting with org charts.
  • Ronnie: “This is definitely not ‘Succession.’ They are not gathering at the car wash on ‘Succession’.” (61:21)
• Christy named interim president:
  • Ben: “I also felt like it was a smart move because she actually is running a successful business...But Stephen Jr, you didn’t go to Thanksgiving, the last Thanksgiving with your dad.” (65:07)
  • Ronnie: “Are you just going to name someone President who didn’t agree to it?” (66:26)

8. Steve Sr. Goes to Jail (Finally)

• Underwhelming payoff: After hyping Steve Sr.'s departure for several episodes, his send-off is anticlimactic—shown mainly as a montage, with little real emotion.
  • Ben: “This should have actually been an emotional moment...they don’t actually let us access the emotion of this scene. Whoever’s making this show is failing left and right.” (81:09)
  • Ronnie: “He’s a jackass and a crook…there’s no clips to show, so what are you supposed to get?” (83:35)
• Steve Sr’s final voiceover:
  • “Being a father is probably the most rewarding experience…You gotta make ’em earn it, just like I did.” (85:10)

9. The Usual Crappens Roasting

• Bravo, reality TV, and influencer culture: The hosts riff on Bravo tropes, influencer lingo, and how the cast’s performative reality undercuts any real drama.

Tone & Style

The hosts keep things highly sarcastic, irreverent, and self-aware, constantly breaking the fourth wall to address Bravo editing, reality show conventions, and their own boredom or fascination with the McBee family’s foibles. They blend detailed recapping with relentless mockery—a loving-yet-snarky audit of Bravo “dynasty” dysfunction.

---

TL;DR

Steve Sr. finally goes to jail, but not before the family and their farm business descend into chaos—cue headquarters eulogies, kitchen-based tallow startups, influencer equity drama, car wash coups, and performative mourning. The Crappens hosts roast everyone, especially Steven Jr. (for skipping Thanksgiving with Dad for influencer love), and the show’s producers for their “Succession”-lite attempts and refusal to deliver any real emotional payoff.

---

If you didn’t watch: Expect a lot of mean-spirited family business maneuvers, influencer entitlement, and Bravo-style fake grandiosity. The Crappens guys keep it moving with tongue-in-cheek observations, turning an emotionally muted episode into a laugh-out-loud recap.

“Just when I thought we had a good plan moving forward with my dad going away, Captain Chaos yet again comes in to stir the pot chaotically. Like a chaos chaos.”
— Ronnie (69:16)

So that's all [e-mail] watchwhatcrappens and today is the McBee Dynasty. Ooh, it's season three, episode six. It's called First Impressions and Final Farewells. Is it over? Why is it called Final Farewells?

[Ben]

Someone went to jail for, yeah, two years. You know, it's sad. I mean, you know, as Cole McBee mentioned, he's going away. Blair's. Blair's only one. He's going to jail. When he comes back, Blair is going to be three years old. Blair won't even know who he is. I just, I just, I can't. It's like, oh, no. The three year old may not have a very strong awareness of their grandfather. Like people go away for like 30 years and he's like, oh, Blair's going to go from being one to three. Oh, no. Jesus.

[Ronnie]

For Christ's sake. Let me guarantee you this. Blair ain't going to give a fuck either way at one or three. Okay? Blair does not care.

[Ben]

Blair. Blair does not care.

[Ronnie]

She's got enough going on. Her mom smells like dead meat and her dad beats up hills. Okay, yeah, he's got enough going on in her.

[Ben]

Blair is doomed in this world anyway. McBee dynasty. So, yeah, final farewells. Something I wish I could sometimes say about this show. So nine days until Steve Sr. Reports to prison. The countdown clock continues. Continues on. One thing I really also don't like about this show is that it feels cold. It always feels cold in this show. Feels like they're always in these big drafty houses. It feels like there's like where I, I feel how I feel like every house they're in is like 65 degrees. And I just, I'm like, I get cold sitting there watching them. And I know that they're the type of people I won't just put on a sweater. I just. It's unpleasant.

[Ronnie]

Well, it's cold weather. And they do live in these giant barn homes that They've built for $5 but are very big and have cement floors. I don't think about how cold it is. I think about the electricity bills. Like our electricities in McPoopy. Wherever they live is McBooger. Where do they live?

[Ben]

Gallatin.

[Ronnie]

I almost forget the name. Yes, Gallatin.

[Ben]

Gallivan.

[Ronnie]

So the electricity must be really cheap in Gallatin because they're just these huge open barns. How do you keep that air conditioned and heated?

[Ben]

Yeah,

[Ronnie]

that's what the show brings to us. You guys okay? I know we worry about air Conditioning, heating, and temperatures in their house more than we worry about Blair.

[Ben]

Yeah, well, one can only hope that they muster up enough money to pay their bills for their air conditioning and heating. So we start off in a very exciting way because we're at Steve Sr's house, and Masha is with her prized chickens, and she's very worried because she has a raccoon sleeping amongst the chickens. So naturally, Steve Jr. Arrives. Now, if I hear there's a raccoon just sleeping with the chickens in broad daylight, I'm like, that's rabies right there. But this idiot is like, whatever, I'll go in and grab it. Luckily, it was not a raccoon. It was just a possum. Doing what I generally do during the show. Nap. Napping.

[Ronnie]

Play dead.

[Ben]

Play dead. Wish it would all go away.

[Ronnie]

If I'm dead, none of this is really happening.

[Ben]

I'll just close my eyes, close my eyes and pretend that this is just a terrible, terrible thing and it's all gonna pass and I'll be safe soon enough.

[Ronnie]

Please tell me these chickens aren't dead. I cannot handle another martial breakdown over dead chickens. And then we see a flashback to last year. Masha fighting with Galena. Why you keep coming back here? You killed my chickens and you messed up my car. It's like, I did not kill your chickens. Come on.

[Ben]

How can you not love this show?

[Ronnie]

I mean, there's a whole plot line of crazy Russian ladies fighting each other over some disgusting man, and one taking revenge by kidnapping chickens.

[Ben]

Where else are you gonna get that on paper? Maybe Russia. Maybe Russia itself. On paper sounds great. Unfortunately for me, it does. It just doesn't quite get there. But so the. The chicken. There's a possum there. So Stephen picks up the possum, and

[Ronnie]

he's like, yeah, it's not a raccoon.

[Ben]

You're the most pessim person about raccoons.

[Ronnie]

You probably don't know if you like Jimothy. It's pretty funny that Masha is dressed in, like, overalls or something. She's dressed in like, I am farmer. Look at me taking care of farm because I am head farm lady now. And she doesn't know the difference between a raccoon and opossum.

[Ben]

I know.

[Ronnie]

Just dump the overalls, Masha. Nobody's buying it, okay? So she's like, is it, like, dead or a what? And he's like, no, it's not dead. It's plain dead. Haven't you ever heard the term playing possum? She's like, oh, no, no.

[Ben]

We only know about playing gulag. So by the way, did you know

[Ronnie]

that if you type in we only know, play pierogi. This is what we play.

[Ben]

Have you on your iPhone, did you see what happens when you type Jimothy in? If you go on to, like, safari and you type. If you, like, look up Jimothy, see what happens. This is for everyone who's listening as well, in case you did not know about this. See what happens, Right?

[Ronnie]

Do I press enter?

[Ben]

Yeah, press Enter. See what happens.

[Ronnie]

Okay. It's big Ed, Viral raccoon Jimmy. Oh, my gosh, A little Jimothy ran across the screen.

[Ben]

Press the paw.

[Ronnie]

Okay, I'm pressing the paw. Hey, there he goes again. Long leg, tiny body. Jimmy.

[Ben]

There he goes again. I'm gonna do it again. Now, if you. Now if you do this for 60 minutes straight, then what happens is that you have the knowledge of knowing that you watch something 10 times more entertaining than the McGee dynasty by just watching an animated raccoon scurrying left and right across your iPhone.

[Ronnie]

Man, that Jimothy's really become.

[Ben]

I love Jimothy. I love Jimothy. I love it.

[Ronnie]

So does the world, apparently, because it's even on safari.

[Ben]

You know, I know the backlash is gonna start to begin. I'm sick of Jimothy. Well, guess what? I'm not. I'm very pro Jimothy. Very pro Jimothy. Anyway, so bravo.

[Ronnie]

I mean, usually you only get that famous when somebody cheats on you or something. Well, Jimothy did it by just having long legs and a tiny body. So congrats, Jimothy. Jimothy is like the new co host of Love Island. Before sun ever set,

[Ben]

he's gonna replace Teffy. It'll be Sierra and Jimothy interviewing contestants.

[Ronnie]

You know, actually, he's gonna get his own spin off before the sun. And it's just where Jimothy is gonna come walk around with really long legs and predict what maybe will happen someday on Love Island.

[Ben]

He's gonna be the host of the new. What are they?

[Ronnie]

Are they.

[Ben]

They're not marsupials, whatever they are. But the point is that Jimothy is great. Back to Masha. So Masha, there's a. There's a possum there, and it's. And Steven's removed it, and she's like, so how have you guys been doing? Every time I think about it, my heart just drops. Oh, no. Disgusting older man with money who I have to play possum with just to have sex. With is going to jail and I am left with his money. Oh, my heart just drops.

[Ronnie]

Oh. And all. So then we go. Of course, McBee, Steven Jr. Is like, well, this is the hardest time that this farm has ever gone through. I don't know if this farm is going to be able to take it. That is going to. Every week it's like, this is the hardest time the farm has ever gone through. Oh, this pool. So now we go over to Christy's house. Cole comes over and she's got summer. And he.

[Ben]

She doesn't just have summer. She doesn't just have summer. She has a Stanley cup the size of a load bearing column. Like that column that like was crushed in New York City two weeks ago. Like, she could have just put this mug in there and supported the entire structure. She's like, well, if I can't have enough, I can't have an oversized ice latte. Then I will have some other drinks that will be as tall as my entire torso.

[Ronnie]

Chrissy McBee is a lot of things. One thing she is not is dehydrated.

[Ben]

She always, she's always ready to go. Yeah, she's got that beverage ready.

[Ronnie]

So they talk about how they're going to go take daddy to jail and they're just, how can this farm ever get past it? Oh my gosh. And she's just beside herself. Christy, Christy, the man who cheated on you, fucked you over, fucked your whole family over, is going to prison. Why are you pretending you're crying? Get the fuck out of here. Christy. I feel like any the rest of us would, would be cheering, like, finally, how can we make this longer?

[Ben]

I know. Like, sure. Like, get out of there. Like, why are you, like, she's crying because of her boys. Because it's just, she's sad that, that her boy's daddy's going to jail and hurts her boys. Those boys, okay, get. They're adults. They'll be fine. They're not going to cry for you or anyone else going through a tough time. So move on. Go back to your successful company doing whatever it is that you do because you should not be sitting here, you know, in House of Blair crying.

[Ronnie]

Also that dad, all of them over. Because it's reported that allegedly Cole and Jesse could be going the same route because of things that he put in their name, you know, like shady things that he put in their name, etc.

[Ben]

So.

[Ronnie]

And then we see what he does in this episode, which we'll get to. So I don't know. I think Christy's Crying because this is the boy's source of income. And she's like, now I have to support all of these kids and all of these babies.

[Ben]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, maybe there's that. So she's like, Steve goes away in a week and we. We won't be able to just call him or text him or, you know, it's like, definitely going to be different. And it. It's a lot on me.

[Ronnie]

Hold on, let me see what date he goes. Let me look on this calendar. Wow. It's Masha's vagina. Okay, okay. Who put this up here? I made a put up calendar on your house. Hope you don't mind, Christine.

[Ben]

Well, from what I've been reading up on, I think you can email him, but I don't think it's a quick response because, like, now, I mean, I think he's probably checking it once a day or that and like, maybe a couple. A couple of times a week. And I did tell you, you know, like, I've been telling him what you need when you need something. We'll. We'll figure it out. Because we're. We're the new. We're the new Steve. For now while he's gone. I think. I'm sure that's really reassuring to him.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. Cole's like, we're new Steve now. So I just, you know, I just pulled over and slept with the random stranger. Just getting them just. And getting the mood of it.

[Ben]

Cole's like backing up a. A combine into the general store of the town.

[Ronnie]

Like, where are this new Steve now?

[Ben]

It's like, great, there's a tractor wheel goes rolling down Main Street.

[Ronnie]

Could at least one of the Steves learn how to drive one of these tractors while you're pretending on tv? Please. Just one of you even learn how to open the door of the tractor. That would.

[Ben]

I would love a whole season of the McBee dynasty where they just understand the concept of doors.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So he's like, I don't. It's pretty weird thinking about selling McBee headquarters and stiff. Like, I. I don't even know how this family's gonna survive this one.

[Ben]

So then the amount of eulogizing over this generic corporate office that they built, it's like, where. But it's the hq. I mean, when we put in those. When we put in those sockets, electrical sockets there, we thought, these will be our sockets forever. It's like, I cannot be moved to care about your stupid corporate headquarters farm headquarters being sold off.

[Ronnie]

Get a laptop, though. This is the farm headquarters is the whole thing. I mean, it's multiple billing buildings. It's the grain silo. It's like, you look down on it. It's like, here's the entire McBee farm. They're like, well, we're just selling that, but we'll have the. What are you gonna farm from home? I don't understand how this all works. Like, what?

[Ben]

They had an H. They had an HQ before this. They'll get an HQ after it. It's fine. It's downsizing. It happens to everyone. They can get over it. I'm sorry. It's like, if it's one thing, if it's like, oh, we have to sell Mom's house, I'll be like, oh, that really sucks. But it's just like, remember here, our HQ that had a dining room in it. I don't know. I just. I can't. There's something about this HQ that I just cannot get behind in terms of feeling emotionally invested in it. I'm like, good riddance.

[Ronnie]

But there is a mini fridge in there, and that's like, a fridge, but it's mini small.

[Ben]

It's a mini. We got one of those things. It's like, not just like a sparklers cooler, but we got one of those things where it's like a bunch of those ice cream cones, but they're made of paper, but you put your water in it. We got something that holds those. We have to say goodbye to that.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So then we go over to Steve Sr's house and with Steve and Masha. Masha. And he's like, have you talked about my father? About the future? What's it going to look like for you guys? I haven't seen him or talked to him. Come on, what are you thinking? She's like, well, you know, I will be here for him, but I know it is hard when you think about it. He will go away soon. I've been in denial. I don't know what to do. What will this farm do without Steve Jr? Steve Sr. It is surreal. It is like, just talking about it. Look at me, I'm crying. You're not crying. I am. No, you're not. I'm pierogi.

[Ben]

She literally has no emotions. She's smiling practically. So Christy's saying, man, these past couple weeks just been really rough. Cole's like, yeah. She's like. I mean, leading up to it, you know? She's like, yeah, it has been. And even though we got six weeks that just, like, went by just like that, and you know, like, wow, it's here. Yeah, it's hard. And I was. I was trying to put up Christmas decorations. I'm gonna cry because I'm putting. I want to put baby Jesus up on the HQ do. And I remembered HQ door doesn't exist anymore for us. Where does Baby Jesus?

[Ronnie]

Baby Jesus was repossessed. I can't even do it. Christie crying about putting up Christmas decorations when she's just infested everybody's house with gigantic plaster homegoods pumpkins for the holidays.

[Ben]

We just got the.

[Ronnie]

What are you going to do without headquarters to store all the shit you buy for the holidays? I mean, that's massive. I have a good friend, my mom, one of my mom's best friends, is probably the sweetest person I've ever met in my life, and she's obsessed with holidays. And she has a whole unit that she takes this shit from, and she has, like, movers come to the house and move in Christmas, move Christmas out, move in whatever the next Easter or whatever. She's, like, moving in. And it's incredible. Like, every room is, like, years and years. You see every year of home goods in this house.

[Ben]

It's crazy. Yeah, well, fun fact. I don't know if you know this, but every year for Christmas, Christy puts Christmas lights on her Stanley cup and gathers the kids around it and they exchange gifts.

[Ronnie]

Family gut. I don't know why it shocks me, but, you know, it's worth the pain.

[Ben]

Hey, Cole, can you bring over that ladder? I want to put this angel on top of the Stanley Cup.

[Ronnie]

Laughs it's time for a commercial. It's time for a grapplings commercial.

[Ben]

Your space should feel like you, and if it doesn't, that's probably not a taste problem. It's a budget problem. And Wayfair really can fix that. What did your space look like before Wafer Ronnie? What were you most excited to change or refresh about your current space? Because I'll tell you one thing, this office that I record out of, it was just a generic office. Four walls and a little green carpet. And then I went to Wayfair, and I got two comfy chairs, and I put them right behind this desk with some microphones and boom. I now have a recording studio, and I'm so excited to use it.

[Ronnie]

Oh, yeah. I mean, I got my rug in my office from Wayfair. I got my curtains from Wayfair. I got a couple of chairs. I got all my outdoor furniture from Wayfair. I love that place because it's also Great to order things and have it put together. You know, you can have. You have the option with Wayfair that they just come, they deliver it, they put it together in the room that you want, and boom, you're done.

[Ronnie]

He's driving down the pitch. He's facing price hikes and cuts past him.

[Ben]

Carrier contracts, tries to block him.

[Ronnie]

Then we go to Cole and Casey's house, and it's Girls Night or Girls Day. The girls are hanging out after Pilates or whatever. So it's Tegan, Ally. I don't know. I think this is with all the girls. Yeah. So Teagan's like, okay, cheers to Girls Night and Pilates. And Allie is like, I don't do Pilates, but, I mean, I guess I can still cheers to Pilates.

[Ben]

They have nothing happening in their lives that they're cheering to Pilates. And she's like. Ali's like, you know, I don't get a whole lot of girls nights anymore because, like, my girls nights are spent with summer. And I'm excited just, like, to hang out with the girls. And, like, Jesse's been at the farm the last few days, so I've been kind of on my own. So Tegan's like, so, hey, girls, Pilates, am I right? So they sold the office. Where do you guys have the. So where are you going to have the tallow business, Casey? Everyone wants to know, where's that tallow at? That. And she's like, in my house. Like, she goes, oh, cool. Hey, I saw it in the fridge.

[Ronnie]

In my fridge right now. Really? I thought this was like a big $5 million business. You're just keeping the to. I really want to buy this tallow. The Casey's just like, I know, keeping in her fridge as she hand makes it and adds a little vanilla smell to it.

[Ben]

She just keeps the jars open so it just absorbs the smell of the refrigerator. She's like, well, we had some salmon last night, so we put some tallow in there for the salmon line.

[Ronnie]

So Casey's like, selling tallow soda now. It's gonna be a five million dollar business. Unfortunately, Stephen didn't realize it was gonna blow up so big. So now he wants a percentage. And then he wants to give 20% of Ally for marketing. And they're like, what? 20%? I'm like, yeah, but I created it. I mean, granted, using all of the dead cows from the McBee farm and the McBee farm to make it and the vanilla from Christie's cabinet, but still, you know, Casey's side here.

[Ben]

Yeah. No, she created it. She should not be giving 20 away to some twit. So Casey's like. She's like, he really puts me in an awkward position, but he's. He's not going to give her 20% of my business. Who was the one who came up with Sunny D flavor? Me. That's when I put the tallow and the Sunny D in the fridge together, and they just absorb each other's smells. So she says, you know, he talked about this with Kala and it didn't happen. But, like, now he's got a girlfriend, and now all of a sudden he wants to take my business and hand it off to her. Tegan's like, well, it seems like history is repeating itself. Like Steve giving Galena part of the business. And now Steven's wanting to give Ali part of your business.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, good point. Yeah. That's how the guys keep you in this business or in this show. They say that you have a percentage of something, so you're always kind of tied to them. I think it's probably Steve Jr. Wasn't as much of a control thing of Galena as much as it was like, I'm not marrying you. So here's a percentage of this business. But Galena is at. We see Galena actually going there working, like today. She's like, look at, look at the me. I am in businesswoman attire. You cannot say anything to me. I have glasses. How could you even say that? Golita is busy traveling this die world trying to be famous in a real housewife. Look, there she is hanging out with Jill's Aaron.

[Ben]

And there she is hanging out with Alexis Bellino. Look and there she is.

[Ronnie]

She's just at.

[Ben]

Well, there. She's just at the roadside taking a picture with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

[Ronnie]

Cut out, but whatever.

[Ben]

She still thinks she's one of them.

[Ronnie]

I love a turtle. So Casey's like, I want to build a business out. I want to build it, too, though. And by the way, Ally, let's change the subject to you now. Have you talked to Jesse about 10 days of intimacy? Because I do it with Cole. It really brings us closer together. Oh, my God. I don't want to hear about 10 days of intimacy with Cole. I need 10 days of bus tickets the fuck out of here. That's too much.

[Ben]

I think I would rather watch two burlap sacks roll around on each other than these two have ten days of intimacy. So Ali is like. He's like, yeah, he thought it was a joke. And I was like, no, it's real. So then he went to the farm, and Casey's like, oh, so did you feel like he was avoiding you? No, Casey, he was definitely trying to be present. By driving off three hours away to go to a farm and get trapped inside a combine?

[Ronnie]

Well, it's kind of hard to know how he stands because he sure doesn't say a lot. He just kind of stands there and makes a real weird smile with his eyes poking this way and that way. Kind of like I'm doing right now. I mean, this couple does belong together for that awkward. The pretend smile while their eyes are darting every which way.

[Ben]

Yeah, they do have that. They do have shared awkwardness.

[Ronnie]

Bring people together.

[Ben]

So then Casey, like, lies on her side. She's like, what if you lie in the bed like this? All sexy like, this is what I do. Deacon's like, yeah, that's like a mating call. Ellie's like, is that what you do? Casey's like, no, I basically just leave a trail of Twizzlers. But I think I may try this. This seems fun.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, that doesn't work for me. That laying on my side. That's, I think, the worst angle for me. I'm like, oh, geez. Okay, well, I thought this a bit. It'll be better laying down. Okay, but don't look at me from that angle. Look at me from above. Go. Go to the edge. Go to the end of the bed. Stand on the other side of the bed. Okay. Okay. Crane your head down just a little. Okay. That's it. Don't look at this part. You're getting close.

[Ben]

You're gonna be coughing.

[Ronnie]

So eight. Eight days until Steve Sr. Reports to prison.

[Ben]

And now we go to the McBees coffee and car wash. Which is funny because if you look at coffee and car wash, it looks like it says coffin car wash. So just send your coffins right in here. So Stephen walks into the. To the. The car wash office where Galena is. He's like, now a decent time for you, Galena? She's like, yeah, sure. So Steven says, for the past year, maybe last two years even, it felt like Alina's been completely checked out of any. Anything business. She's been traveling the country trying to be a celebrity. And this used to be the most important person at our entire country. Our entire company, and that even our country, too. So flashback. Flashback. So Stephen is like. He's like, Galena's lack of focus affects the business, and we cannot have that, especially right now. Now, excuse me. I'm going to Texas.

[Ronnie]

Excuse me. While I make plane reservations to leave for an entire week trying to impress Allie's family in Texas. Okay. This will be an entire scene of me be rating the only person who actually works at this company while I go off to. Okay, a couple things. I. Galena is why I watch the show. I mean, I would watch Galena if she was, like, literally on any show. I would watch it. I would watch Galena. Law and Order Galina, I'm in. But saying, like, we really need her. This company is a failure. It's a huge failure. Every single season, you've lost bigger and bigger chunks of this company. So I'm not really sure how much credit I would give Galena as far as. Or any of them as far as running a business. The second you big fucking hip, like, he literally sits there and yells at her, she's like, oh, really? So you boys are saying I do nothing. Do you know everything I have to do for these businesses? Like, all the paperwork I have to put through when you guys are losing part of business all the time and they're. Yes, that is what we were saying. You do not spend enough time at this business. I love Austin. Goodbye. I'm good.

[Ben]

Yeah. Seriously. Well, we are here.

[Ronnie]

I'm sorry.

[Ben]

My brain just completely flatlined for a moment there.

[Ronnie]

Well, now you know what it's like to be a McBee boy.

[Ben]

I was listening to the Galena thing, and I was looking at the notes, and then suddenly my brain. My brain just said, you need a moment? Yeah.

[Ronnie]

So just keep scrolling way down. So Jesse's like, Selena's an icon. This is like a real reality. Our bankers and our lenders Are like, they're seeing it, whether it's you. That, like, they have Instagram and they're seeing you go to Housewives party. And what are they thinking about the car wash? Well, first of all, you're getting more publicity with someone being there. And second of all, you guys have said multiple times that it's just on the weekends, so she's allowed to go somewhere on the weekends. Third of all, fuck off, you guys. Stephen's such a hypocrite. He's leaving town right now. Give me a break.

[Ben]

Yeah, exactly. It's just. Well, also this whole thing of, like, oh, she thinks she's a hat, so

[Ronnie]

she just wants to go be famous

[Ben]

because what are you doing? Stephen, we said this last week. You've been. This is like your second or third reality show, okay? And if you think that, like, I don't. So I don't pay attention to Steven McBee's Instagram or his life or anything. I don't know what goes on over there. But are you telling me that Steve McBee is not making. Making the rounds, going, hanging out with, you know, whatever. Whatever celebrities he wants to hang out with? I guarantee he is doing the same exact thing.

[Ronnie]

He seems on this show to just show up for filming because the boys are always complaining that he doesn't really do anything there. He doesn't know how to do anything there's. Everybody else starts these businesses, and Steve wants to come in and take credit for everything. You're right. It's like his second reality show. Then he's only dating, like, the perfect TV perfect blonde with a huge following on Instagram, which would be good for tv. He dates her for, like, one week and then gets her cast with the contract and everything on his tv. I mean, this. No one does things more for TV than you, you fucking hypocrite. This guy. This guy is the worst. So Galena stands up for herself, and she's like, what I gather is you guys think I'm not doing my job, just so we're fucking clear. And they just stare at her like, yeah. And she says, okay, well, on this note, you can please get the out of this office. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. You're gonna kick us out of the office that we don't own? Yeah. And she just nods. She's like. She's like, I am in a sports coat and glasses. You will listen to me.

[Ben]

This entire tense conversation's happening while meanwhile, like, some, like, Toyota Celica is being wash down below them, and they're like, I can't hear you under this over the sound of the whipping brushes.

[Ronnie]

So turn off your windshield wiper. No, turn them off. Turn the auto off. It's gonna. Hey, I brought my windshield wiper. I told you. How are you supposed to turn them off? It's automatic.

[Ben]

So Glen is like, yes. He's like. She's like, why don't you step into what I do here every day? Do you think it's easy to order more soap for car wash? It's not. Please be my guest. But these conversations over.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So they do leave. And Cole's like, well, I mean, maybe I don't know what she does or nothing, but I'll tell you this much. I could figure it the out. Okay, if you don't even know what she does, why are you in this meeting? You guys are such posers. Get out.

[Ben]

Someone just tell Cole that in order to be a to run a car wash, you have to first understand what it's like to be a car in a car wash. And that he has to run through it while it's operating. I just want to see him as the rags whip around his face, like, oh, oh, oh.

[Ronnie]

Well, it would be nice to see Cole get a bath.

[Ben]

Yeah, it would be. It really would be. So. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

I love Cole thinking the boys are talking about, like, isn't it crazy? We. We used to just solve things with dad, but now we don't have dad. What is this farm going to do? So then it's seven days until Steve

[Ben]

Sr. Reports to prison urgency. Yeah. So we're at Christie's house and Allie and Steven arrive and allies like, oh, my gosh.

[Ronnie]

Hello.

[Ben]

You know what? This blue makes your eye pop so much. I. You know what? I could probably sell 4 million tops. 4 million duplicates of this top on my Instagram. I'm just that good at marketing. Wow.

[Ronnie]

Thank you. I want 20% of your top. Okay. We're gonna do great things here. I'm an influencer. Wow. Somebody's mom. Oh, my God, you look amazing. Are those new jeans? Just comes off as so fake.

[Ben]

Fake.

[Ronnie]

And that's on this show. That's all very fake, but dang. Ally.

[Ben]

So Steven's like one of the things that I admire so much about Ally,

[Ronnie]

aside from the fact that she lets

[Ben]

me Journal from 4am to 6am and also from 10pm to midnight. Because guess what? You have new things to journal about in between midnight and 4am but one thing that I love about her is that she's just like, she doesn't need a heads up. She's just like. She's the one encouraging me. She's like, hey, stop by your mom's.

[Ronnie]

Let's say hi.

[Ben]

And my last relationship with that bitch,

[Ronnie]

I felt like I had to give

[Ben]

a month long notice if we were

[Ronnie]

to see my mom for five minutes. Also, she's blonde. I love that about her. They're talking about plans for Thanksgiving and he's like, yeah, mom, looks like I'm going down to Texas. It's like, oh, good, good. Well, one thing that I am really happy about is my son leaving me on Thanksgiving to go to some girl's house. And it's like, over Thanksgiving without your father. And I really cared. I was just gonna have Christmas delivered. But it's all her inner thoughts. Yeah, she just gets this, like, plastic smile. She's like, good, good.

[Ben]

I do think it's inappropriate that he's going down to Texas on the last Thanksgiving that we're all together. But I'm not allowed to say anything to a man. So therefore, I'll just sit here and smile and be like, good, good. I'm so happy for you. But this also, like, I mean, listen, please don't confuse this as me actually caring about this family situation. But literally, your dad is going off to prison in a week. And you are going to spend that last Thanksgiving at Ali's house. You're not gonna spend it with your dad. And then you're gonna. Then you're gonna complain and not understand why you weren't chosen to be interim president of this failing operation. Like, give me a break. I mean, this is actually really shitty. Don't make me stand up for Steve McBee Senior on this. But, like, this is a stupid dick move on Steve Jr's part.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, pretty much. So he's like, well, Ally has put up with some pretty high standards that I need to meet to impress her family especially. Oh, no, sorry. Not put up with. Ali's. Put up some pretty high standards. Okay. I need to impress her family, especially her dad. And she's told me over and over, shake his hand, look him in the eyes, have good conversation. He's a serious guy. So I'm a little nervous going into this trip. Can't wait to alpha the out of this old bastard.

[Ben]

I know. So Ellie's like, yeah, he's really unique. I mean, he's so cool. My dad is, like, so cool. Like, he's like, the best. I mean, for me, I have, like, a lot of internal pressure going home and bringing Steven home because, like, I won't take the next step with someone. Unless I know that my family is 100 on board. Why are you taking a next step of that? Like, you guys just started dating like three weeks ago. Like, give it a. Give it a rest. You guys can spend Thanksgiving separately.

[Ronnie]

Yeah.

[Ben]

It's also weird that she's not saying, why aren't you spending this with your dad?

[Ronnie]

Yeah, yeah. This, this whole thing, I don't know. I think in Steven's mind it's like, well, everybody else, Thanksgiving. They're all going to have their babies, their partners. I don't even have a baby. I need to go there and secure this baby. I'm going to do it. Secure blonde woman. I hope this whole family's blonde. Everybody better be 5, 8, blonde or I'm not going to have it. I'll tell you that. Minutes.

[Ben]

They better let me journal in the morning and they better be willing to. To figure out memberships in the afternoon.

[Ronnie]

We really need to have some deep memberships. What was this thing last week?

[Ben]

Last week he said that like an ideal. He, like, this is like what an. A perfect day would be like with his late dream woman. And, and he gave a very specific timeline. And one thing was like, from 3 to 3:30, we are going to have. We're going to. We're going to recruit memberships which didn't even make sense.

[Ronnie]

Talent memberships. Okay, now listen here. Priority one, making sure your family's comfortable with me. I mean, she sacrificed so much. She's canceled every single event trip she had planned to come up here and support us. I mean, look at all the trips she had. She is an influencer. She probably had trips to go from here to there to Timbuktu. And she didn't do it just so she could see Cole kind of cross his eyes look like a. A hole in a tree while he talks about how hard it was opening tractor doors. Okay. She gave up everything for us.

[Ben]

So many event trips. What does that mean, an event trip? So, you know, so Christy's like, I think. I think Stephen needs to get away. I'm excited for her family to meet him. I guess. I mean, I guess maybe it would be like you can make an argument that Steven Jr. This is too hard for him. And it's too hard for him to see his dad and his like, before he goes off to, I don't know, some. It's all.

[Ronnie]

Yeah.

[Ben]

So we're back. No, no, we're not giving him anything. He's like, you know, it's not a

[Ronnie]

great, great time for the McBee reputation. The name kind of carries a little

[Ben]

bit of a black cloud with us. And she goes, it does.

[Ronnie]

It does.

[Ben]

I mean, but we'll get through it. It always does. And you said your parents trust you. And Christy's like, I was very close to my dad, and Ally is very close with her dad, and she wants her dad to see what she sees. And I understand that because I want so badly for my dad to like Steve. I think this is Ali saying this, not Chris Christie.

[Ronnie]

Christie's like, Chris is saying, oh, she wanted her dad, too, and I wanted my dad to like Steve. And, well, that dream died. But, you know, maybe it'll work out for. For Steve Jr. This is going to be great for him.

[Ben]

We can only just hope that all the men on this show are happy and approving of everything the women are doing. You know, fingers crossed. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So Stephen. Stephen saying, like, wow, you know, like, I just want her dad. You know, I gotta start telling you the days before. I'm like, okay, now her dad would at least not smack me in the face if I'm like, hey, I want to marry your daughter. Maybe I shouldn't do that after the first day. Second day, what should I. Dessert? Should I wait till dessert? I'm taking your daughter's hand in marriage. You better accept it. You poor.

[Ben]

So Ali is like, do you think that. Like, you think. You think that. That you would say that on this trip? He's like, I'm not pulling any time

[Ronnie]

frames on anything, okay?

[Ben]

And she's like, well, but you said it. I mean, that's. What. That's. I was just like, wait a minute. What?

[Ronnie]

Huh? Huh?

[Ben]

Huh? She's like, I mean, there's no rush. And I really hope that he wouldn't do, like, something like that, like, ask me about marriage without talking to me first. Lady, you're in the world of the McBees. They don't talk to the women first about their choices. Good luck.

[Ronnie]

He's literally talked to you about nothing but marrying you since we've seen you guys on this season. He's talked about it every single day, every five fucking seconds with you. And she gave him already a detailed description of what she wants for her ring. He's like, okay, I know this about her ring. It needs to be 5 1/2 cm square emerald here. He goes, like, through the whole list. Well, I hope he would certainly talk to me about marriage. Oh, okay.

[Ben]

Yes. Okay, that's true. That's true. When she already has given all the details of everything. So now we're at Cole and Casey's house, and Ally is driving, and Casey's in the passenger. Passenger seat. Well, Cole, this was so funny. They're in this, like, I don't know, like a Chevy Yukon or something. One of these enormous SUVs. And so Allie is driving, Casey's in the passenger Yukon or something. No, no, but, you know, it's like this enormous suv. And Cole is in, like, the way, way, way, way, way back. I was like, why are you sitting so far away? He was like. He was like in the 10th row of this car. Just. He's like, hi, I'm back here. I'm Cole. What are you doing back there? You can take a seat a little closer to the front.

[Ronnie]

Like, what is that noise back there? Cole, are you trying to figure out how to put on a seatbelt? It's like. Yeah, I'm not really sure how this works back here, but. Okay, hold on a second. Let me just try another hole. I'm having 10 days of intimacy with this seat belt. Hold on, Let me just keep trying holes until one of them's up. There we go. Nailed it.

[Ben]

I just want to see what it feels like to be some Costco groceries coming back from the store. Wow, it's really cool back here.

[Ronnie]

So

[Ben]

he really is having. They really are having seatbelt issues. It is some of that that. That comes up. And so Ali's like, oh, Cole, how was your day? He's like, it was good. It was pretty interesting. I learned a lot. Like what? Well, guess where Steven's going this Saturday. Ace Hardware. No, guess again. That place that's next to Ace Hardware. You mean the 7 11? Yeah. No, guess again.

[Ronnie]

The other place next to the Ace Hardware. That's a hair transplant place. Yes, he is going there, but that's going to be after. He's gonna go. He's gonna go betray mama and go hang out with Allie's family in Texas over Thanksgiving for a whole week. Like, what?

[Ben]

What? That's crazy. I mean, I want him to go down there and meet her family, and that's, like, definitely next step for him. But, like, being the last week that we get to see. Dad said, I don't know. And Casey's like, yeah, I wouldn't have expected nothing different. Hey, Casey, why you recline that way in the chair? Ten days of intimacy.

[Ronnie]

Why are you laying on your side like that? We're supposed to be driving. So then, let's see. We find out that Jake is having a birthday. Jack is as close just as anybody he's like the fifth McVick. He were any closer to us he'd be under investigation for some I know commercials. Losing weight can be like trying to roll a wheelbarrow up a hill.

Getting all these germs from Steven. And they're like, man, that's too bad. They all sing Happy Birthday to Jake and Jake. Steven's like, so, what you up to, birthday boy?

[Ronnie]

You going to hit it hard tonight? You going to get drunk?

[Ben]

You got to do something crazy.

[Ronnie]

You want to have sex?

[Ben]

And Jake is like, no, I think I'm having. I. I think, I think the, the hitting it hard days are well behind me. I don't hit things hard. I'm Jake. And they.

[Ronnie]

I was like, well, you probably need to start thinking about when you're gonna get on the knee, because that's what you gotta do. You gotta propose to somebody. Seems like if you don't do it, I'm gonna beat you to it. How bad would that look if I beat you to it? Tegan may end up leave you in the night if I beat you down the aisle, which I just might. After Alice, dad falls in love with me and tells me I'm the best thing that ever happened. All he wanted was a strapped 6 foot 4 boy. It's looking for a 6, 5 foot 8 girl who's blonde and journals.

[Ben]

Speaking of beating, you want to beat off later tonight? You know, he says beat a lot. He says beat a lot. I'm like, you know, with someone with anger issues, you really shouldn't use that word so much. So Jake is. Yes, Jake's birthday and everything. And Jesse's saying with everything going on, Stephen going down to Texas to meet her family. Like, he's only 31, but it feels like he's 50 or 60 years old and it feels like he's running out of time. He's definitely pushed. Why isn't any, why don't any of these brothers say anything to. To Steven? Be like, yo, don't go down to. Don't go down to Thanksgiving with Ally. You need to be here with us with the family. Like, no one says anything.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So the girls are all sitting, like at a little couch or something, doing what you do in bars, you know, mixing formula for your baby. And Stephen. Casey's like, I'm real nervous to talk to Stephen because I don't want ally to get 20% or nothing. But then I have to to Stephen about it and I'm scared. They're like, just go talk to him. So then back to the boys, he's like, well, yeah, I was looking at rings. She showed me one. And she's like, it's not all. It's not bad. It's not that bad. It's like 55. And they're like, wait, 5,550 5,000. You idiots.

[Ben]

Great.

[Ronnie]

Jeez.

[Ben]

Love it. Love to see that people are being put out of work on your farm. HQ's closing. But you're going to spend 55,000 on a ring for this person you've known for 45 days. So Steven's like, I'm like, I don't

[Ronnie]

know if you know who I am, but I'm gonna be spending my life savings and putting 25 grand on a ring.

[Ben]

And Steven says, Ali's a five ring size.

[Ronnie]

Wait, hold on.

[Ben]

Here it is. Yellow, gold color, two stones on the side with the center stone emerald. No halo, no cushion. And I have no idea what any of that really means, but I've got it in my notes.

[Ronnie]

I'll tell you this much. You better not surprise me with an of an engagement proposal. So Jake's like, whoa, do I look like I've seen a ghost? Yeah, you look like you've seen a ghost. It's like pretty much did the ghost of all of your money.

[Ben]

Yeah. Seriously, for this? Yeah, they have to, by the way, they have to start really leaning into Jake is like a member of the family. So that way Jake doesn't turn around and sue them when he realizes that like, he's like, owed, like, probably thousands of dollars from this failing company. So. Casey. Right. Like, it's funny how they really start amping up. I mean, Jake has been there the past, you know, for a while, but, like, they're really gonna lean into the family thing. Like, hey, Jake, we won't be able to pay you this week, but you know how it is. But you're like family to us, so, you know, we'll make it good. Anyway, I'm gonna pay 55, 000 for this ring.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. One thing this family does not do is each other over. Whoops. Cole. Jesse. Sorry. Your properties are listed under shady deals the dad has done. You're probably going to lose everything. Okay, never mind. Let's talk about Alice ring.

[Ben]

So Casey's like, stephen, do you want to go talk? He's like, yeah, okay. So they go outside and Casey's like, I just want to tell you, I'm not going to give Ally 20%. So now he's like, steroid rage. Eyes businesses. And she's like, I mean, she can do sales and I want her to get paid for sales. And it's new business. It's my business though, and I think we should like go into business first and see how we work together.

[Ronnie]

So then he just does the like trying to hard sell her. He's like, oh well. Ellie has over 250,000 followers. Her entire page has been about her skincare journey. Do you know how hard it is for a gorgeous 20 something year old to have decent skin? It is very hard. She looks so young. She looks like she is in her 20s. 20s. Everybody looks to Allie for, for skincare being in her 20s. And it's like what better content creator would there be than to have a before and after of her promoting the skincare she's already got? Perfect, flawless, probably plastic surgery, smoothed out, laser and skin. There is no before, Stephen. What are you talking the before. I looked up Ali's before us and she's gorgeous then and she's gorgeous now. It's a totally different face, but they're both, both beautiful. But you're not getting some new before from Ally. She's already got perfect skin. So that one's failing. And he's like this is pure business perspective and she does nothing but social media and you need her in case. He's like, well but I want hell and I want to do something together, but I want to grow the business. But like 20% to ally. I just don't feel comfortable yet. Oh really? So you expect her just to come on board and promote your skincare line over another skincare line? Yeah, for money. She'll be getting a percentage of whatever she sells. Give them coupon code, you know, calla, you know calla in a different font.

[Ben]

So yeah, I, I, well first of all, it would be like a sort of sister in law. So I would expect actually a little bit of like, hey, I'll help you out. But she would be getting paid. I love when Stephen says that Ally has a finance degree. He's like, and, and furthermore, she has a finance degree. I'm like, you have a full MBA and your farm is in the. So I. A little farm, A finance degree. I'm not taking that too seriously.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. And she's like, but I want to see what McBee Farms can do for marketing first. And he's like, oh really? Okay, listen, would you rather a tiny piece of a giant pie and then have the team that's helping you every step of the way or would you rather take, take it all, all the stress, all logistics of trying to figure it out on your own and brand never getting to the point it wants to be because we are already behind in orders. Okay, well whose fault is that though you want, you're gonna be taking 40% of this and no one's helping her with any. You can't just come into something without doing anything and demand all of this. This is crazy to me. And I guess we should get some because it is their dead cows and everything that they're using and their farm and all of that. That. But this 20% to ally is cuckoo.

[Ben]

Yeah, the whole thing is, is absolutely crazy. And he's being really mean to Casey and he is. And he knows he can intimidate her and it's like shitty that he's trying to pull that card. And then. And, and the fact that he's also like acting as if Ally is the second coming of Barbara Corcoran. It's like, let's relax, okay? She is someone who is hot and has followers cuz she's hot and therefore is able to sell things. And so Steven's like, if Ally's gonna teach you the skills that you need to market the thing via social media, there is substantial value there. There is so much more than just

[Ronnie]

a talent business here.

[Ben]

No, I think it's the talent business. So.

[Ronnie]

And you can't tie your entire company to one influencer that's also legit crazy. Like, oh, wow, Ali Auckland, the face of McBee Kidney Juice. Like, gross. And it's just. That's not a one influencer thing. And you guys have a TV show that presumably hundreds of thousands of people watch 20.

[Ben]

That is high percentage. Yeah, it's such a high percentage. Like when you watch shows like Shark Tank and they're always like, I will give you, you know, like $400,000 for like 5% equity, you know? You know, it's like, it's crazy. It's crazy that he, he's like that he's gonna try to take 20 for Ally. Like, Ally can maybe get 1%. Maybe she shouldn't even be getting a percentage at all because she's basically in my mind, a contractor, you know, but yeah, this is just so unreasonable. And he's so, he's. He's so mean to her about it. And he basically is like, I think that this is so. Casey's like, well, I just don't want to have another Galena situation like with your dad. And that really gets going that I was really, I was like, good for you, Casey. Good for you.

[Ronnie]

The lights turned off, he gets psycho eyes twitching back. And you see him like start to twitch, you know, go into one of his rages. You know, it's like, you've got to be fucking kidding me. Now, this is a lot different than my dad and Galena in that by this time next year, Ally may have my last name. So what about that? I'm gonna beat my dad. I'm gonna beat my dad to the bunch as far as marriage goes. What about that? I'd be Daddy. And I don't want to call you out, but the issue isn't necessarily true, just the sales, which alo. We are sitting on orders since early October. We are going to kill the business if we do not stay on top of orders. Then why aren't you guys helping her with the business? Like, this is. This is crazy that your company is falling. Your company has failed. They're literally coming with tractors to take your out of there because you failed yet again. And you're going to get on her about this instead of offering her help? You're an asshole.

[Ben]

But also, like, if. If the logic is that Ally is going to have the McBee family name, then why does she need to have the 20 if she's going to marry into the 40 anyway? So, man, that may be a reductive way to look at it, but literally, I also don't care. So Casey is like. She's like, I've been saying for the last month that I need help and I need help. And I'm just. I'm saying I want help. I just. I just don't understand. So you're accepting the help? In what way do you think you're gonna hire me for 15 an hour to build a damn website? So then she goes off and starts crying.

[Ronnie]

I'm sorry, she's not hiring you and offering you minimum wage. You're taking 40% of her comp. You're taking 40% of the company. What does McBee Farm do in. In return for the 40% that's part of it. Marketing. Running a business is marketing. And it is helping with orders. It's not just like. Like finding some girl that meets your physical requirements to give away to. For doing hi. Hasn't even said anything to her.

[Ben]

This is. Yeah, infuriating. So then Casey is like. Tegan goes to console her and she's like. He sits there and talks to me

[Ronnie]

like a child, like, the whole time.

[Ben]

And I just want to go home. I just want to go home. And he's. And Stephen's like, what? Did I say something? And she's like, no. And she's like, okay, well, that's the

[Ronnie]

last conversation about it. Understand? Then he's like, so now he's rips off.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ronnie]

He's screaming at production, telling him this is the last time we're talking about it and that is it, that it's final. He's like trying to take off his mic, throwing his mic and then storming off. What a jackass.

[Ben]

Well, guess what? It's six days until Steve Cena reports to prison. Guys, it's just getting so tough. So tough. So Steven's packing. Steven jr. Is packing for Texas.

[Ronnie]

Bring multiple cowboy hands hats. Yeah, nothing says poser like having a different cowboy hat every single day, you phony. So they drive off, and now it's four days until Senior reports to prison. Bloop. Bloop. Now we're at Jesse and Ali's city house, and Christy comes over and she's visiting with Jesse. It's just as charismatic as ever. And she's like, well, I. Have you heard from Stephen on almost Thanksgiving? I sure miss him. It's so hard having not my son here when we're this close to killing a turkey. And he's like, well, I haven't seen him, but he looks pretty. Like it's having a whole lot of fun on social media.

[Ben]

She's like, really? He's like, yeah. And we see a photo of Stephen with some horses that say real day at the ranch. And then he's in a Santa Claus outfit, which I'm like, hello, did Thanksgiving already happen or did it not happen? And he's. And then they. We see a video of Stephen with the whole family. And like, the video's like, we told Stephen that we always say the Pledge of Allegiance before family dinner. And so they say it and then they all started laughing. It's like, haha, you just got punked. And he's like, that's very funny.

[Ronnie]

That's a joke.

[Ben]

Yeah, it was a joke.

[Ronnie]

Oh. I was like, oh my gosh.

[Ben]

I rewatched it a few times just to make sure, but you know that Stephen was like, this is a great idea. We're gonna do this at the new hq.

[Ronnie]

I didn't even get that.

[Ben]

Let me tell you something I will never forget the first time I went to a Cracker Barrel and I went into the bathroom and you know, they. They're always playing the music and the Cracker Barrel. And then eventually at one, in between the songs, this guy came on and goes, I'll pledge allegiance to not state. I pledge allegiance to nuts. I forget how it goes. I pleasure flag to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God, indivisible by liberty and justice for all. And I was like, why is this. Why is this playing in the middle of the music at the Cracker Barrel? I mean, I know why it's playing, but it just was so random to be like, this is the interstitial in between songs.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, that's their dj. Every once in a while they're like, oh, we just wanted to come on here and remind you. While you've got your penis in your hand and you're waiting for your chicken and dumplings, you are in the greatest country in the world. The United States of America. It was so do not forget to get your Danielle Steele book on tape, which you can rent and return to another Cracker Barrel on your way home.

[Ben]

Before you buy that fudge on the way out of the store, just remember, that's American fudge.

[Ronnie]

Made in America. America. So, yeah, and the. The Instagram stories or whatever they're posting, they're. I think this is the point where they're all Ali being like, oh, my God. When your boyfriend is like, running with horses. Oh, my God, this one. When your boyfriend is dressed like Santa Claus at your ranch, when your boyfriend is saying the pledge of legions before

[Ben]

dinner pov, your boyfriend just walked in the door and he's about to ask you about marriage. Like, too much, right?

[Ronnie]

So now Jesse and Christy are back to talking about how dad wants to have a meeting. They have no idea what this company wide meeting's going to be. And of course, it's when Stephen's not even in town for the company wide meeting, as the family is going to and the dad is leaving and has to announce the new successor. So Steven's just not even there. The one who just lectured, who just lectured about not being serious enough, doesn't even show up to the company wide. I can't.

[Ben]

Yeah, he's. He's missing the entire company wide meeting. And Christie is like, I don't know why for some reason they decided to have me be here at this meeting. I don't understand at all. So, yeah, so they are. They're all gathering for this zoom session. And I love Cole saying, oh, it's

[Ronnie]

a full meeting, right?

[Ben]

Well, no, I'm sorry, it's a full meeting, but people are doing a zoom. People are zooming in because some are remote, like Stephen and Christy and others. And I just love Cole being like, we're finally all meeting at the car wash today with everybody. Guys, get ready the big car. This is definitely not succession. I Think they're trying to make it seem like succession. They are not gathering at the car wash on succession.

[Ronnie]

Piano music tinkling in the back. It's like,

[Ben]

yeah.

[Ronnie]

Just to interrupt this succession theme song, I wanted to remind you, you are in America.

[Ben]

This is a car wash. Well, we turned one of these coffins into a table, so everyone just gather around here. So it is coffin and car wash. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

Three days until Steve Sr. Reports to prison. Bloop, bloop, bloop. So we go to McBee Farm and Cattle stakeholder meeting. And Cole's like, wow, we're finally all meeting at the car wash today. Galena's taking off all the locks on the doors. We're allowed back in the building. That's pretty fun.

[Ben]

Before we start, does anyone want an ice cream Snickers bar? We've got a whole cooler downstairs. Does anyone want any air fresheners before we start this meeting? Okay, it's on the house.

[Ronnie]

So then we get Stephen Jr. Who's joining via Zoom. He's a. Hey, it's me, Stephen Senior. I just want to go over a couple of quick org charts. What I don't want to do is leave and have any questions on who's in charge. This is how the hire Parky goes.

[Ben]

God, why am I here? I'm just Christy. God, you know, it's crazy. Like, I could be doing something else right now. Like, I don't know, spending the next two hours filling up my Stanley Cup. It takes a very long time.

[Ronnie]

I guess I have to figure out how to get that Jesus on top of the tree. And then this.

[Ben]

So, producer. The producer is like, who do you think is a logical choice for your dad to lead? Well, obviously, it's my.

[Ronnie]

Hey, sorry, boys, but I'm the one who's here. I got an mba, I got a girlfriend who's got a finance degree, and I got a cowboy hat for every

[Ben]

day of the week when I'm in Texas.

[Ronnie]

Does anyone else have a girlfriend with 250, 000 followers?

[Ben]

So then Braden's like, yeah, Hi, I'm Braden. I'm here. I'm the fourth. Remember when they said Jake's the fifth McBee? I'm the fourth one, if you're wondering.

[Ronnie]

Hey, it's me, Cole with the wig. Cole with the perm.

[Ben]

The perm call.

[Ronnie]

Perm call. He's like, wow, it's gonna get tense.

[Ben]

Hey, everyone.

[Ronnie]

Well, you know what? Flip the. Flip the slideshow over, and let's look at the org chart. And so we see this big chart on the screen, and it says, Steve McBee, senior president. Steve Jr. CEO, Galena, CFO Cole, cattle manager. Jesse, one day we'll learn to open a tractor door. And Christy McBee, interim president.

[Ben]

Braden's like, I'm not even on the chart. Brain's like, what the heck? Steve Senior's like, well, you can't be on the chart until you get rid of that Julia Child hair. It's like, oh, dad,

[Ronnie]

what are you, an extra in physical there? Come on, get with the boy. Yeah. So Chris is like, well, Steve McBe does a lot of crazy things, but this making me interim president of the whole company. Whatever will I do?

[Ben]

Well, I mean, obviously, to me, felt very much like a Made for TV moment, but I also felt like it was a smart move because she actually is running a successful business, and actually, like, I think it's painful that we don't get to see her being a badass and having, like, a hugely successful company. We just see her kind of just like, arriving at houses with her drink and being like, boys will be boys. I'm like, I know that Christy actually has more substance than they show, and I think they do her a disservice. And so I was kind of like, well, you know what? Actually, Christy, like, it doesn't make any sense. And this is like a big you to the Suns. But also, Stephen Jr, you didn't go to Thanksgiving, the last Thanksgiving with your dad. I mean, he could get shanked in prison. This may be the last time you ever see him. And you're down in Texas with a flavor of the month. So, yeah, I fully supported this crazy.

[Ronnie]

One thing that I'm surprised that Christy doesn't say is that he's completely her over. I mean, this is a company that is in major trouble. It's got huge. You know, they've got a lot of investigations. They've got all of this going on. And then he's getting little Miss Chris perfect Christie, and he's gonna tangle her in all of this. And I think that that is absolutely shitty. And she seems pissed about it, and I think that's why she's pissed. She's like, I don't want to be, but, like, entangled with your company. Are you kidding?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

You want me to go to jail, too? And so, which just goes to show

[Ben]

that all these guys, all these big B guys are just, like, in a giant, you know, like, circle jerk together. They have no idea what they're doing. I don't think. Can you even just, like, name someone President who didn't put their. Who didn't agree to it. You can't just, like, force someone to be president of a company. Like, it's just all. Yeah, it's so. It's so silly.

[Ronnie]

That's true.

[Ben]

You know, and so. And I was like, I kind of like the idea of her running it because I think she would actually fix it. But also, like, what. This doesn't make any sense. Like, there makes zero sense whatsoever. So unless, of course, God forbid, I say it, it was something completely fake and fabricated for TV that would never happen on the McBee dynasty.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, that was probably it too. But he also wanted somebody with clean hands, you know, whatever. Come in here because luck going down. So Stephen is, of course, enraged. He's like, I cannot believe what this org chart says. Did Casey make this? This is. I am mind blown. Taken aback and shocked. All three equally, equally.

[Ben]

I am furious. Meanwhile, Stephen's, like, taking this meeting and, like, the bench outside of a gas station, it's, like, not unlike where they had the season finale meal on Real Housewives of Potomac. She's just out there. So it's like, yeah, it seems like you're really taking this seriously. So he's furious.

[Ronnie]

All the boys take their turns being shocked. I'm real shocked that mama's up there. I mean, I don't know, what's mama doing up there? My dad never ceases to amaze me how much chaos he can create. Now, you just wait, because this next five minutes of TV is going to be full of the word chaos. We're all going to use it 20,000 times, times chaos, chaos, chaos. That's you, daddy. You, daddy. Until Steve Senior reports to prison.

[Ben]

Yeah. So they're in the office. It's also the last few days of hq, guys. It's gonna be the end of hq. So Stephen's saying how it's colder here than it is in Texas, so. Wow. His power of observation is unparalleled that the place that's more north than Texas is a little bit colder. Cole is like, yeah, bastard's nice down there. It's freezing up here, ain't it? He's like, yeah. And so he tells us. My last conversation with Kaisey did not go as planned. My passion was mistaken for aggressiveness. Oh, your passion.

[Ronnie]

Oh, it's just passion. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

[Ben]

So when you threw that. When you threw that microphone off of your. Off of your back and threw it onto the ground, that was just passion. Passion for tallow. Oh, yes.

[Ronnie]

Yelled at Casey, then yelled at production. Oh, yeah, sorry.

[Ben]

It's just. Easy mistake, easy mistake. I thought it was aggression, but it was just passion, you know?

[Ronnie]

Pissed. He's like, what in the world is mom being? What is mom the head of every single company for? Just when I thought we had a good plan moving forward with my dad going away, Captain Chaos yet again comes in to stir the pot chaotically. Like a chaos chaos. You know, Throw a rock at the hornet's nest, get every hornet all chaos. That's what he did. Chaos. And I was telling. I was just saying, why is mom at the top of this? She's got her own business. She's got other things to do. So they call mom in. Christy has to come, and she just looks like, oh, Jesus. What? Why? Why am I being dragged? She comes in and say, yeah, boys, Mama, you sit down. We're just talking. I am confused. Why are you the head of this business? What did you ever do to get this business? Well, there's that passion again.

[Ben]

That passion. Basically, what he's saying is, this is my toy.

[Ronnie]

This is my to choice, not your choice.

[Ben]

Why you have my toy. That's not fair.

[Ronnie]

It should be my toy. Give me my toy.

[Ben]

Give me my toy. I'm gonna cry.

[Ronnie]

I'm gonna cry pretty much, yeah. And he's like, no offense, and she's like, yeah, but I do have my own business. Annie, here's. Here's one thing I will say for you positively mom, you may not know what the fuck you're doing as far as our businesses go. I don't know why you got it, but you have this going for you. You are 5 foot 8, and you are blonde. Thumbs up.

[Ben]

Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry, honey. You were talking to my Stanley Cup. I put a little wig on it. I'm actually only five, six.

[Ronnie]

Well, I have no idea why this is going on, boys. I mean, I don't have nothing to do with the businesses. I mean, I just don't know. I can give you advice, but you know your daddy. Chaos. That's what I've been saying. Say it again. I love that word. Chaos. Your daddy's Chaos. Captain Gas Ass.

[Ben]

Give me my toy back. So she's basically like, I don't want anything to do with this, so I shouldn't have been on that slide. Like, it's not mine. Okay? I. I'm gonna support you. I'm gonna support you because boys will be boys. But that's it. That's it. This is for you guys.

[Ronnie]

I'm only doing this because I'm Hashtag boy mom. So he calms down a little after he hears that his mom doesn't even want the company. Because I think at first he's like, what? What'd she do to get this company? But she's like, I don't even want it. So it calms him down a little bit. And then we go to Cole feeding the cows, and Blair's on his lap in the tractor. Seems unsafe. And then we go to Steven's house. They're sitting on the couch. Oh, God.

[Ben]

Stephen and Allie.

[Ronnie]

This is the other Ally. Yeah. I was like, why is he with Ally? But he's with. With.

[Ben]

It's so annoying that there's two alleys on this show. Like, it's just know that Steven's alley has an E and Jesse's alley has no E. So.

[Ronnie]

No, I'm not going to input that into my brain. I don't care.

[Ben]

Well, the extra E stands.

[Ronnie]

This show is doing enough to me without getting multiple alley spellings in my head. No.

[Ben]

Well, the extra E stands for enterprising. Or maybe I should say entrepreneur. So chaos. So Stephen goes, so, Ellie, have you talked to your parents anymore since we've been back? Did you explain to them that I'm just a man full of passion and

[Ronnie]

not aggression, just passion?

[Ben]

And she's like, yeah, because I feel bad because I feel like I didn't have a whole lot of time to spend directly with your family. And I think I was a little stressed out too, obviously, knowing everything that was on the back at home. And. And I think I did struggle with being fully present when my dad was going away. And I know there were times I seemed overwhelmed whenever you were down there. I guess maybe I had some passion. I'm like, okay, what really happened, by the way? You can't give the excuse of, oh, sorry, I was a dick to you down and your whole family down there because I was distracted by my dad going away. Because you should have been up there in Kansas City the entire time, you dipshit.

[Ronnie]

You purposely went away while your father was going away. Yeah, Steven went there and made an ass out of himself somehow. Because this is one of Stephen's like, well, I know that last night didn't go as planned, but it's just my passion. It's the same thing. So he did something at this place, like had a fit or got in an argument with the dad or sold

[Ben]

or locked himself in the room.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, something really, really bad. Because Ally's face is like, yeah, Well, I mean, prior to going, they knew we were moving fast and, like, you know, like, I was like, they're going to see how close we are. You know, they're going to see it. But, yeah, it didn't really happen, but.

[Ben]

Oh, you know, I don't know.

[Ronnie]

It's like. Well, you know, I. My family sees it. Look at my family. They see it.

[Ben]

She's like.

[Ronnie]

Looks terrified of saying anything otherwise to you.

[Ben]

Yeah, because she's like. Her whole thing is that she really wants her family's approval. And she was like. I mean, I just thought, like, you know, I. I knew that we're going fast and, like, I honestly thought, like, our connection was just, like, so insane, and they're gonna see it immediately. And then it just, like, was. It just was crickets. Which was when I had to admit to Stephen I'm actually a cricket, and I've been transformed into a woman for two months. But then I go back to my cricket life and I have to find a husband before I become a cricket again, Otherwise I'll never find love again. It's very important that my family accepts them, otherwise I will be a lonely cricket the rest of my life. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

So the family was not into him. And so she's like, oh, you don't have my family's approval. Now what? She's like, well, I was gonna ask you to marry me. I was gonna ask your dad for your hand. She's like, yeah, I don't think he would have liked that. She's like, you know, I mean, you and I aren't going anywhere. And I know how that sounds, and I really do mean it that way. But what I mean is, we don't have to get married right away. There's no rush. You know, I'm still gonna be 5 foot 8 and blonde tomorrow.

[Ben]

Yeah, but will you still wanna do memberships with me in the afternoon and send our children to a private school of our choosing?

[Ronnie]

What if somebody beats me down the aisle? Wow. So he's like, you know, I mean, I'm not like my brothers who are going to sit on their hands and ponder a decision for eight or 10 years. I need five minutes to know you are blonde enough to marry. Let's do it. And she's like, oh, y. Bloop, bloop. Steve Senior reports to prison one day. So finally we get to see this.

[Ben]

No, no, no, no, no, no, Ronnie, no. That would be way too merciful for this show to actually move the story along instead of it's the day before and everyone's got to go to HQ for the grand finale of hq. The H, the last day, the sea, the series finale of hq. So now we're at hq, and now we've got to give a sad moment to say goodbye to hq. And Steven's taking down a sign that says Country Kitchen. Because they had a nice little kitchen in there. Because they would have all the employees come in and they'd eat their meals. They'd have, like, sort of family meals in there, which is nice, I guess. This and Tessa's like,

[Ronnie]

this sign doesn't say City Kitchen. That would be horrifying.

[Ben]

I'll never forget when your daddy told me, he said, tessa, I'm going to build you the best kitchen money can buy. I'm like, was this the best kitchen money can buy? So then Steven's like, I had envisioned

[Ronnie]

years and years of great meetings, fun

[Ben]

dinners, t cooking, hell, even one day passing this hq, these farms down to my kids.

[Ronnie]

Can't.

[Ben]

Congratulations, you got an hq. So then we see, like, Tesla.

[Ronnie]

I'll never forget the first time I ate beans in this country kitchen. And I said, wow, these beans smell like gas. Well, I was cooking right off after I got off work. Hope you don't mind, honey.

[Ben]

We have so many memories watching Tessa boil some frozen succotash in that pot, Boil some frozen Mac and cheese in that pot. Boil some frozen chicken in that pot. We'll never have it the same.

[Ronnie]

So now Jake gets into a tractor. Very manly. And Stephen and Jake are on the front part of the tractor and Cole's driving and. Wait, did Tessa already give her speech, or is this later?

[Ben]

I love Tess's later.

[Ronnie]

Let's just go back to Tess's speech, because that's all I care about.

[Ben]

Because basically all that happens, they take out a sign. Yeah, yeah.

[Ronnie]

Oh, yeah. We see them take down the sign. Yeah, that's true.

[Ben]

They take down the sign in the tractor, and Jake figure out how to

[Ronnie]

work the tractor and then take down the McBe farm sign.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's what. What a shame. What a shame. By the way, oddly enough, I think Jake is the hottest of. Of all these guys. I think most people say Stephen or Jesse, but I think Jake is the hottest now. I think it actually goes, yeah, Jake's the hottest.

[Ronnie]

Let me tell you why. Cuz we don't know anything about him. And he never, never speaks. And that is how a Bravo man stays on top.

[Ben]

I do like how every single one of them looks like a hand puppet from, like, the Senior Wentz's hand puppet.

[Ronnie]

Jake's probably the best because his partner seems the least traumatized. Tegan seems like the most normal, easygoing, and fine. You know, she doesn't seem like she's upset.

[Ben]

She's the only woman on the show who's not, like, not afraid to talk. Because whenever the guys around, they're always like, can I speak now? But, like, Tegan just like, hey, girl, what's going on? So I'm like, okay. So they probably have a healthy relationship. Oh, that does sound up. It sounds like I shouldn't like Casey because she's in a situation with, like, guys who are, like, toxic. But it's more just like we're able to see Tekken's personality as a result, better.

[Ronnie]

Well, we're not dissing Casey. It's the men. The men are scared.

[Ben]

I was just finding a way to take another pot shot at the guys, but it sort of sounded like I was saying. It actually sounded a little up the way I said it. So I'm just. I'm unfucking it up. I'm just saying Deacon and Jake are the best of this group so far. And you're right. It's because we know little about them.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, well, especially the guys, because, you know, I love Jesse until a couple weeks ago, and now he's, like, so dead.

[Ben]

Yeah, you know. All right, Tessa's Monologues works. Take it away. Take it away.

[Ronnie]

Say, how's your daddy doing? You made me so proud. Boys coming down memory lane. I'm trying not to cry now. I remember this. Your daddy said, I want to give my boys a legacy. And after every single part of this business has failed, I've said, well, you're doing great, boss man. And as this one is taken down, I'm so proud of you boys. I'm so proud of you. You. What are you proud of? They up every single thing that has been touched, Tessa.

[Ben]

They're disasters. They're full disasters. Well, guess what? Now it's time to go to South Dakota. Because the day has come. It's the day that we've all been really, totally apathetic about. It is Stephen McBee senior is going off jail. So everyone. The guy who you don't ever get to see on a show that's about him is about to go somewhere else where we won't see him. So they're. They've all. They. They rented this, like a camper to drive Steve Senior up to jail. And they. They're like. They're like, we just want to. We want to squeeze out every last minute with this guy. So they won't even show him on the camper. So he's like off camera on the camper. But they. We just sort of see them and you. Here's. That's also fucked up. This is actually arguably the most emotional, you know, scene of the season. And this is an impactful moment. And it's all kind of just like edited in this, like slapdash way. There's like, we don't see moments, we don't have, like conversations here. It's just sort of montagey and weird. It's just another garbage scene on a garbage show.

[Ronnie]

They show everybody crying. Sorry.

[Ben]

Like, sorry, I got a little angry there.

[Ronnie]

No, I don't disagree with you. I mean, the camper scene didn't.

[Ben]

You know, it's like this should have actually been an emotional moment. Like, this should have been like a moment of like tears. Like, we see, we, they, they all. They're reflecting to us about how they feel and we see shots of them like crying. The guys are crying on there. But like, we don't actually. They don't actually let us access the emotion of this scene. And I just think it's just like whoever's making this show is just failing left and right.

[Ronnie]

To me, it's the people who make Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. I found out it's not crazy.

[Ben]

Okay.

[Ronnie]

They make a lot of shows, actually. Jeff Jenkins Productions. Oh, okay. Yeah.

[Ben]

Old Bina Murray co workers, I guess you could say.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, they make a lot of, you know, really popular reality shows. So it's not like they do. This is just made by, you know, some losers. It's just. They have a lot of losers on it. Also, it's hard to get the emotions on the show because like you said, it's about a lead character who refuses to be on camera after the first season. Because on the first. And I'm not sure why, so I shouldn't say because. But on the first season, we really saw what a horrible human being this man is. I mean, his kids, you know, especially, you know, the things we see from Steven and his temper and the way he treats women. Like these guys are all, you know, just apples from that tree and that tree is rotten. He is horrible. And how he treated Galena and his other girlfriend that season, who was the one. Did you see the episode where Galena went to make it right with her? She's like, hello, I'm here to make it right with you. You hurt me. You hurt me as a woman. And it's a pr. Okay, well, I'm here to make it right. You killed me deep in my soul Anyway, anyway, that lady he treated like just to see you don't have these clips of showing him as this nice, loving person that could make you feel something right. Like, wow, remember what a great guy Stephen was, knows he's a piece of shit, and now he's going to prison and might have indicted, you know, might have gotten his kids in trouble as well as everything. He bragged all as he shattered all of their dreams that he told them about when they were little kids. Like, look at what I'm building for you. Look at what I'm doing for you. He's a. He's a jackass and a crook. And there's no clips to show, so what are you supposed to get?

[Ben]

But also, like, they have him on a bus. I know that he doesn't want to be on the show, but, like, he's been on the show in the past. He's. He, like. And I should say in the past two or three last season and this season, he's popped up here and there. So we have an entire. What are we? Episode six or so. We're this far into the season, everything has been about this guy going to jail. This entire episode is nine days, seven days, six days. But now it's the. Now it is the moment. And all that we get on this, like, drop off moment is basically the guy saying how hard this is going to be for them. And then he basically, we see Steve Senior. We. I don't know if we don't even see him. We just hear him say, casey, you good? She's the rock here. She goes, I'm ready to get rid of you. He goes, that's why I love you. And then he gets out and we just see him walk into the jail. I was like, you did all of this and we don't even get, like, a payoff? Are you kidding me? Like, I'm not. I just want to see how the payoff, though, the payoff is, is the family, like, whatever they're going through on that bus, like, they're not like, the conversation. Like a conversation they're having or whatever. They literally just give, like three lines of dialogue and then that's it. I was like, the whole episode is like the countdown. And it's like, okay, bye. I was like, what? What? It's crazy.

[Ronnie]

Dad walking into the jail. So he goes to prison, everyone's crying. And then we get a Steve Sr. Voiceover and he's like, being a father is probably the most Rewarding experience. It's my job to make sure I protect him. Doing a great job so far.

[Ben]

I just want to prevent him from

[Ronnie]

making the same mistakes. And I just want my kids to have more than I had.

[Ben]

And if you guys want kids to have more than you have, it starts

[Ronnie]

with when you're giving them too much.

[Ben]

You guys better bust their ass and make them earn it, just like I did you guys. So then Stephen Jr. Is like, I don't want to say that it's broken our spirit, but we're damn close to being there. All I know is I'm gonna be here for my family and my. Be here for my family and going back down to Texas to make things right with a different family, and we're

[Ronnie]

gonna make it Texas and slash the tires of allies down. Daddy, you are the most pessimistic person

[Ben]

about going to jail, fellow. We're stronger than. We're stronger than ever moving forward, and I'll be damned if that doesn't happen.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. Wow. I wonder what's going to bring down the farm next week. This is the worst thing that has ever happened to this farm. This could mean destruction of the farm. We ran out of soap at the car wash. Everything's done. It's over. Wow. Okay. Well, that. They sure did it.

[Ben]

I thought that. I thought it was gonna be the whole season waiting to watch him go off to jail. So I'm actually quite happy that he's in jail. For all my complaining, like, I. I was merciful. I was. I was happy that it was not drawn out, but I just thought it was, like, just strange storytelling to just have it also be so swept under the rug that just goes off to jail. But I'm looking forward to actually how this show will now hopefully evolve now that the dad isn't going to. Isn't around, maybe they can shift the focus to something else because, man, it's just been a. It's been somber.

[Ronnie]

It's not gonna be like that. They're gonna be like, now it's 180 days until Steve Sr. Comes out of prison.

[Ben]

Blair even know who he is? Blair?

[Ronnie]

Yeah, they're gonna be. Blair's never even gonna learn numbers or anything. All of her flashcards are gonna be. Be like, Stephen Senior. Stephen Senior again. Those are Grandpa. Stephen Senior again. Grandpappy.

[Ben]

Grandpappy. Stephen Senior. Yeah.
